Sheng Ke, who was wearing a police uniform, suddenly came over to talk to him, which made Electrician Wu's heart skip a beat. He thought that the police were looking for him, but he immediately realized that Sheng Ke's target was Zhang Zian.
Zhang Zian didn't expect to meet Sheng Ke in this situation. He wondered if Sheng Ke's words were just a greeting or if there was a deeper meaning. He forced a smile and said, "I'm here to visit a customer. What a coincidence …"
"Oh? I see … Which building does he live in? "Sheng Ke asked.
"This one," Zhang Zian answered truthfully.
"This building? We evacuated all the residents in this building. I'm afraid it will be a bit difficult to find him. " Sheng Ke turned around and glanced at the crowd. Although many people had left, there were still a lot of people left.
"Actually … the customer I'm looking for was just sent to the hospital by you guys …" Zhang Zian spread his hands. "He's a welder with the surname Zhao."
Sheng Ke was stunned and asked again, "What a coincidence!"
There were thousands of residents in the family quarters, and the person Zhang Zian was looking for today was one of the poisoned residents. Out of the criminal police's instinct, Sheng Ke became more and more suspicious.
Many criminals would deliberately come to the crime scene after the incident to admire the fruits of their crime and the reactions of passers-by. Some of the more unlucky ones would encounter experienced criminal police officers, who would likely be suspected because of their suspicious behavior.
From an emotional point of view, Sheng Ke didn't think that Zhang Zian, who had a bright future, would do such a thing. However, the incident was too significant, and as a criminal police officer, he couldn't let go of any suspicious points.
He came to talk to Zhang Zian not to chat, and he didn't have time to chat. He just felt that it was a bit strange for Zhang Zian to appear there at that time, so he came over to ask. As expected, he found something suspicious.
Zhang Zian sighed inwardly at his bad luck for being inexplicably involved in an emergency.
He also knew that it was not convincing to say that it was a coincidence, but it was indeed a coincidence for him. Fortunately, there was a witness next to him, so he pointed at Electrician Wu and said, "This is Electrician Wu, a friend of Welder Zhao. He can prove that Welder Zhao ordered a few fish from my store, but he didn't come to pay for the fish. Today, there are other customers who also want the fish. I couldn't contact Welder Zhao, so I came here personally to ask in person."
Being stared at by Sheng Ke's intimidating gaze, Electrician Wu nodded nervously and stammered, "Yes … Yes … That's what it is …"
Sheng Ke still had not completely dispelled his suspicions, because these situations could have been premeditated in advance, and it did not prove that Zhang Zian had nothing to do with it.
As a criminal police officer, he instinctively suspected everything.
Zhang Zian added, "Speaking of doubts, Master Wu mentioned something to me just now. I think it's a bit suspicious."
"Oh? What is it? Tell me about it. " Sheng Ke's spirit was lifted when he heard this. At present, the higher-ups had exerted a lot of pressure, and the local police were in a state of confusion. They could not let go of any clues.
At the last moment, Electrician Wu seemed hesitant. It was one thing to nag to Zhang Zian. Even if he said something wrong, he would not have to take responsibility, but it was another thing to nag to the police. What if he said something wrong and misled the police?
Seeing this, Zhang Zian urged, "Master Wu, the situation is urgent now, and lives are at stake! Can you repeat what you just said to Captain Sheng? Maybe it will come in handy. Even if you say something wrong, Captain Sheng will certainly not blame you. "
Intentionally or unintentionally, he used his words to pressure Sheng Ke.
Sheng Ke smiled and echoed, "Master Wu, please tell me the truth. As for whether it's right or wrong, I will judge for myself."
"Okay, okay …" Electrician Wu felt reassured and repeated what he had just said to Zhang Zian. This time, it was more detailed. After he finished, he closed his mouth and waited anxiously for Sheng Ke's response.
Sheng Ke took a deep breath and waved his hand to call over a police officer next to him. "Xiao Tian, give me the transcript."
The police officer trotted over and gave him the transcript.
Sheng Ke quickly flipped through the transcript, looked up at Electrician Wu, and questioned, "Master Wu, is what you just said true? But Welder Zhao's family didn't mention this. They only said that Welder Zhao went out last night, and they didn't know where he went. "
Electrician Wu was anxious. "It must be true! That bastard Zhao is always greedy. He bragged to his family that the fish were given to him by others, but he never said that he asked for it shamelessly! "
"Can we ask Carpenter Wang's family for confirmation?" Zhang Zian suggested.
Sheng Ke shook his head slowly. "Carpenter Wang and his family are currently in a coma and haven't woken up yet."
Zhang Zian was speechless.
Part of Sheng Ke's doubts were answered.
After receiving the report and arriving at the scene, the police found that Carpenter Wang's family was all deeply poisoned. The neighbors upstairs, downstairs, or across the street were safe and sound, but Welder Zhao, who lived in the neighboring unit, had similar symptoms of poisoning, just to a lesser extent. Welder Zhao's family was fine. The police were puzzled by this strange situation and could only temporarily determine that there were two sources of the poison.
If what Electrician Wu said was true, and Welder Zhao went to Carpenter Wang's house last night, then Welder Zhao's house could be ruled out as the source of the poison. They could focus their search on Carpenter Wang's house.
Thinking of this, he said decisively, "Please come with me."
He raised the cordon and motioned for them to follow. His tone was firm and there was no room for refusal.
Electrician Wu and Zhang Zian looked at each other and followed him obediently.
Sheng Ke led them to the side of the middle-aged man and asked them to wait for a while. He then reported the situation to the middle-aged man in a low voice.
Zhang Zian nodded and smiled at Xiao Liu and Xiao Wang. They both blinked in response.
Red Dragon and Prince were even more excited to see an acquaintance.
The middle-aged man was worried about this matter. After hearing it, his eyes lit up, as if a window in his heart had been opened.
"Captain Sheng, this is Master Wu?" The middle-aged man stared at Electrician Wu.
"Yes, this is Zhang Zian. I've mentioned him to you twice before." Sheng Ke gave the middle-aged man a look. "He's the one in charge of the watch theft case in Yuanhua Building and the poisoning case in the Dog Warrior crew …"
"Oh!" The way the middle-aged man looked at Zhang Zian immediately changed. It was obvious that the two suspicious cases had made Zhang Zian leave a good impression with the police.
Then, Sheng Ke introduced to Zhang Zian and Electrician Wu, "This is our Bureau Chief Chen."
Zhang Zian guessed that the middle-aged man must be in a high position, but it was still unexpected that the Bureau Chief of the Binhai City Public Security Bureau would personally supervise the investigation.
"Xiao Tian, help this Master Wu take a statement," Sheng Ke said.
Police officer Xiao Tian politely invited Electrician Wu to the side and asked him in detail.
After Electrician Wu left, Bureau Chief Chen stared at Zhang Zian and said, "We're not strangers here, so I'll call you Xiao Zhang. Xiao Zhang, what do you think about this matter? "
Zhang Zian glanced at the Biochemical Specialist Police Unit going in and out of the unit's entrance, then looked at the eager police dogs. He knew that he had a great responsibility.
"Bureau Chief Chen, I do have some opinions, but they're very immature. They're all just guesses … If possible, it's better to have more information," he said cautiously.
Bureau Chief Chen pondered for a while, then sighed. "To tell you the truth, this matter has alarmed the provincial department, and it has been defined as a major malicious poisoning case. At present, the experts from the provincial department are rushing here … The funny thing is that we haven't even found the source of the poison, let alone know what caused the poisoning. If we can't find the source of the poison before the experts from the provincial department arrive, everyone in our bureau will be embarrassed! "
Zhang Zian was shocked. The police actually defined the nature of the case to be so serious?
"Captain Sheng, tell him what he doesn't know. We, the police and the people, work together. Don't worry about those rules and regulations for the time being." Bureau Chief Chen winked at Sheng Ke. Obviously, he had reached the point of trying everything in a desperate situation.
"Okay, here's the situation," Sheng Ke began to narrate.
According to the summary of the fire brigade, the emergency center, and the police station, the process of the incident was roughly as follows:
Carpenter Wang's family got along well with the neighbors across the street.
This morning, the man of the neighbor's family got up and went out to buy breakfast for his family. He wanted to ask if he wanted to bring breakfast back for Carpenter Wang's family, so he knocked on Carpenter Wang's door.
The elderly generally went to bed early and got up early. Usually, Carpenter Wang would have been up by this time.
However, the neighbor knocked on the door for a long time, but there was no response.
The neighbor thought it was strange. Did Carpenter Wang occasionally sleep in or get sick? But Carpenter Wang was alive and kicking yesterday. How could he be bedridden after one night? Even if he was sick, Carpenter Wang's family should have gotten up by now. His son still had to go to work.
Last year, there was a natural gas poisoning incident in the family quarters. A family was poisoned and died. It was discovered too late, so none of them could be saved. It led to a tragedy.
Since that incident, the retired workers in the family quarters had become more vigilant and agreed to take care of each other.
Since it was an old community, and most of the residents were retired workers from the same factory, the relationship between the neighbors was much closer than in the new community.
The neighbor knocked on the door a few more times and put his ear on the door to listen. There was no movement inside.
He was worried that there might be another natural gas leak that caused Carpenter Wang's family to be poisoned, so he tried to call Carpenter Wang's cell phone. Of course, this approach was not appropriate. If there was a natural gas leak, answering the phone could cause an explosion, but it was this phone call that saved the lives of Carpenter Wang's family.
The neighbor heard the phone ringing coming from the door. The elderly had poor hearing, so their phones were never muted. The ringing was very loud, or else they might not have heard it.
To be safe, he called Carpenter Wang's son's cell phone again. The ringing was still coming from the door.
