Chapter 656: Seeking Evil, Liu Cheng Screens, Mu Zhiyong Scrounges Merit

With the scorching sun overhead, Liu Cheng ran until he was covered in sweat, but he had no intention of stopping.

After running through one residential area, Liu Cheng didn't even have the intention to get in the car to blow the air conditioning. He unfolded the list, looked at it twice, and said: "There are a few families in the nearby residential area, and the seeds bought here are all from the same flower shop."

"Selling edible sunflowers in a flower shop is also bad enough." Wei Cheng, a subordinate who followed him, was younger and sweated more, and his training uniform was soaked.

Liu Cheng said: "It's also possible that the customer wanted ordinary sunflowers, which can be picked for children to eat. The seeds are not worth much money. Don't think of everyone as so bad."

Wei Cheng glanced at Liu Cheng: "Team Leader Liu, we are out to catch a serial killer this time."

Fan Wei, who was traveling with them, gulped down half a bottle of water, poured the remaining half on his face, and said: "Team Leader Liu means that serial killers are not always bad. It is very likely that they only expose themselves when they kill people, and they are good people at ordinary times. Besides, if selling seeds pits a serial killer, it can be considered a disguised good deed. Don't you think so?"

"Your character of arguing unreasonably is hopeless." Wei Cheng caught his breath and continued: "According to your statement, the person who bought this kind of sunflower seed might also be for the children at home to plant for fun and eat. Does it mean that this serial killer also has a child? And kills people at home? Is this reasonable?"

"The one we are looking for this time is a copycat." Fan Wei said: "An ordinary murderer has an ordinary child. While the child is at school, he rushes to kill someone, and then has to clean it up cleanly before the wife and children come back. Is this a very ordinary middle-aged man?"

"Planting sunflowers in a villa in the capital, raising one or two children, occasionally killing one or two people, and framing it on the real serial killer, and being afraid of his wife, is really a portrait of an ordinary person in the capital." Wei Cheng is a young man from the countryside. He didn't stick to any of the real estate dividends. He is the dividend himself, and his complaints are true feelings.

Liu Cheng is just the opposite of him. He got married around the time housing prices took off and was forced to take out a loan to buy a house. At this moment, he said with a calm mentality: "The villas here are all townhouse types. They were not very expensive when bought, but the yard is quite large, but there are many illegal constructions. This kind of property management is not good."

"Building 5, No. 13."

Fan Wei reported the room number on the list.

"Take two more bottles of water." Liu Cheng pointed to the convenience store in front of the door and asked Wei Cheng to take a few bottles of ice water. Several people drank happily before going in.

Today, they are searching for a suspected serial killer, or at least the residence of a copycat murderer. Therefore, no matter how hospitable the visited objects are, they cannot drink the other party's water.

If a few policemen were knocked down by someone, not to mention whether they would die or not, social death is certain.

Dong dong dong.

Liu Cheng found the room number, still let two criminal police guard behind the room, and then began to knock on the door.

After some questioning, after getting permission, they went in to check again, and several people retreated in disappointment as expected.

This family doesn't even keep flowers, feeling more straightforward than a serial killer.

Walking along the narrow path of the villa, they walked a long way before reaching the second house. It was the same process, still disappointed.

"The enthusiasm for life in this residential area is insufficient." Liu Cheng sighed.

Fan Wei said: "Actually, just see if there are lotus flowers inside. Sunflowers are planted in the soil, and lotus flowers need a pond."

"Lotus flowers can also be raised in water vats." Wei Cheng said muffledly.

Fan Wei couldn't help but pat his forehead, took a bottle of water, and poured some on his head, saying: "Look at my brain, it's all hot and confused."

"You have always been confused."

"I am not confused when I drink, unlike you..."

Several people were talking, and walked a long way again, still full of heat waves.

At this time, Liu Cheng's phone rang.

Several people took the opportunity to stand in the shade to fan the wind. After a while, they saw Liu Cheng put down his phone.

"Mu Zhiyong drove to send some supplies, including salt soda, new clothes and underwear, and also opened a room in the nearby hotel. Everyone will go to take a bath and change clothes in a while." Liu Cheng said, and a smile appeared on his face.

In this damn weather, his shirt was stuck to his body. But it was unrealistic to go home to change clothes.

Wei Cheng also laughed and continued: "The treatment of Jiang Yuan's cold case task force is much better than us bitter people in the capital."

"The monk from outside will chant scriptures." Fan Wei paused and said: "However, he can really chant."

"It's not bad that he can think of sending us a car of supplies. What are you thinking about? Amitabha if there is something to use." Liu Cheng said and went to the intersection to welcome Mu Zhiyong.

Although he also knew that the supplies sent by Mu Zhiyong were all paid for by the Zhengguang Branch, to be honest, even if this money was not given to the Ningtai people, it would not be given to the people who did the work. If it is divided, it will be divided by everyone together, or it will become the equipment supplies and office supplies in the bureau.

After a while, Mu Zhiyong and Shen Yaowei came over with a box of salt soda, distributed it to several people, and smiled: "It was still icy when I got off the car, but it's not that cold now."

"Very good, very good." Liu Cheng drank water all the way and sweated all the way. Drinking salt soda only felt a burst of comfort, and then said: "There is one more family. After watching this family, we will go to rest. Team Leader Mu, will you wait for us for a while?"

"I'll go with you." Mu Zhiyong smiled and said: "It's no exaggeration to say that I often catch serious criminals when I search in Ningtai. Do you have a shield?"

"Didn't bring it. Use whatever equipment you have." Liu Cheng didn't take it seriously. There are hundreds of search targets this time. Even if they are all searched, they may not see a serial killer. As for daily equipment, there is no need to make such a big fuss, or in other words, it is not that important.

Police catching people mainly rely on numerical superiority. In the current law enforcement environment, firearms are not allowed to be used at all. Chili water and electric batons have some power, but they don't play a decisive role.

Because the real police-bandit confrontation almost doesn't exist. The police are basically in a state of crushing the criminals. What they pursue is nothing more than zero casualties. And on this point, chili water and electric batons cannot do it very well. The criminal suspects who rise up to hurt people can completely endure the pain and complete their final blow.

Mu Zhiyong didn't think much, nodded, and asked Shen Yaowei who came with him: "What equipment did you bring?"

"I'll give you the handcuffs." Shen Yaowei handed the handcuffs to Mu Zhiyong and walked swaying at the back of the team.

Several people knocked on the last door on the list of the residential area.

This is a large apartment in the residential area, all of which are semi-detached villas, with relatively large areas. The gardens have also changed from two in the front and back to three in the southeast and west. The connected gardens are surrounded by low walls, and the sense of privacy is very good.

Liu Cheng stood at the gate with Mu Zhiyong, waited for the resident to come and open the door, and his eyes glanced inside, and he saw a lotus pond, a few square meters, very conspicuous.

Liu Cheng was stunned. The previous two families were not even active in keeping flowers, belonging to the type that wished to harden the entire garden. This family, however, was very compatible.

"Hello, we are from the Zhengguang Branch. We are here to do a household and population registration today..." Liu Cheng used the compiled reason to say a few words first, and then said: "Is it convenient for us to go inside and talk? It's too hot outside."

"Not very convenient." The landlord is a polite, cold-looking man, unexpectedly refusing Liu Cheng.

Fan Wei is an old criminal policeman, laughed and squeezed forward: "It will be done in a few words. There is not even a table at the door, and it is not convenient to write things..."

The homeowner didn't even have time to speak before several people squeezed into the room together, just like a wedding party storming the bridal chamber.

The panoramic view of the courtyard was thus displayed to everyone: the lotus pond at the door, the jasmine, Chinese rose, and podocarpus in the courtyard. A long sunroom was also set up on the east side, with a long tea table inside, and plants such as bougainvillea and money trees were planted on both sides. ===== CHAPTER 657 =====
