South to North: A Prison Guard at the Beginning

Chapter 261 Mr. Wang 5

"Well, it seems that there is nothing else. I didn't pay attention to anything else. I just paid attention to these many things." The woman shook her head.

"How tall is he?"

"Taller than me. I'm 1.65 meters tall, and he's probably around 1.70 meters tall."

It matches. The footprint found in the reed marsh also showed a height of about 1.7 meters.

"Does he have any obvious scars or birthmarks on his face?"

"Probably not. I didn't look very carefully." The woman shook her head again.

"Does he have any other characteristics, such as a lame leg or eye problems?"

"I didn't notice this either, so I guess not."

"Can you roughly tell his age?"

"I guess he's in his forties, almost fifty, and his temples are all gray."

Yuan Mu nodded. He knew it was not easy for the other party to describe so much, so he smiled and stretched out his hand.

"Comrade, thank you for your cooperation!"

"You're welcome. It's my duty." The woman quickly shook hands with Yuan Mu.

"Let's go, pack up!" Yuan Mu then waved his hand, and everyone followed him and left the store directly.

After returning to the Municipal Bureau, Yuan Mu quickly called everyone back for a meeting.

"Comrades! I now have a very important clue. According to the clue provided by the store salesperson Comrade Liu Lili, she received a person at the time. This person was very strange. He wore several layers of clothes in the middle of summer and also wore two layers of thick masks."

"At the same time, this person has a bad smell, just like the smell of a dung collector. Comrade Liu Lili's grandfather used to be a dung collector, so even if this person uses vanishing cream to cover up the smell, she can still smell it."

"Based on the above clues, I analyzed that this person is very likely a dung collector. He wore thick clothes and a mask to buy woven bags just to hide himself. The mask was to hide his face, and the clothes and vanishing cream were to cover up the smell on his body!"

"Director Zhao! I still need you to investigate the dung collectors around us, find out their information, names and addresses."

"Okay, I'll get someone to investigate right away!" Director Zhao simply stood up and walked out.

"Director Yuan, if your analysis is correct, I think this case will be solved soon!" Jiang Nan said with a smile.

"We can't be sure now. We can only lock in the suspect first, and then investigate whether he had time to commit the crime. Only then can we be sure if it is this person." Yuan Mu shook his head.

Director Zhao was very capable, and perhaps he was really pressed into a corner, so he quickly ran back with the information.

"Director Yuan, Director Jiang, this is the information of all the night soil cleaners in our city. However, I asked them to classify them. These five cases occurred in the North District and the South District, so these twenty-four people are all the night soil cleaners in the North District and the South District." Director Zhao pushed a stack of documents in front of Yuan Mu and Jiang Nan.

"Director Zhao, is it so few? There are only more than 20 night soil collectors in the two districts. Can they handle it?" Yuan Mu asked doubtfully.

"Hey! There's nothing we can do. The economy is much better now than before, and there are fewer restrictions. Most people are unwilling to do such dirty and tiring work, so those who do this are generally older people." Director Zhao shook his head.

Then everyone started the first round of screening in the office, sorting these people out and conducting final investigations.

The investigation certainly cannot be carried out openly, it must be conducted secretly. What if the murderer really is a night soil collector, wouldn't a large-scale investigation be a tip-off?

. . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Soon another two days passed. All twenty-four night soil collectors were investigated, and finally four of them were selected as major suspects.

The Municipal Bureau dispatched police forces, who went to the homes of the four night soil collectors in four groups at night. The reason for choosing night was that they had all gotten off work, and blocking them at home would reduce the impact.

Yuan Mu brought Liu Jun and three police officers from the Municipal Bureau to the door of the night soil collector Wang Laowu.

Wang Laowu, male, 47 years old, whose real name is Wang Dajiang. He was named Wang Laowu because he was the fifth of five brothers and sisters.

This Wang Laowu joined the army at the age of 18, but was expelled from the army in his fifth year for molesting a military doctor and was even imprisoned for several years. After he was released from prison in 1965, he could not find a job and started doing odd jobs to support himself.

In 1966, he married a wife with the help of his family. The wife came from the countryside and was very beautiful. He thought she would live a happy life in the city after marrying into it. Later, he found out that Wang Laowu didn't have a proper job at all and had to rely on her to make matchboxes for the street office to make a living.

Half a year later, the woman became dissatisfied because she felt more and more that she had been cheated. When the matchmaker was arranging the marriage, she praised Wang Laowu to the skies. But when they really started living together, she found out that Wang Laowu was a complete jerk.

Not to mention that she had no job, but Wang Laowu had also been in jail for molesting a military doctor. The most important thing was that every time Wang Laowu slept with her, he would make all kinds of unreasonable demands.

Women of that era were conservative and certainly couldn't stand Wang Laowu's behavior. Finally, she asked for a divorce from Wang Laowu. Wang Laowu was furious and beat the woman severely.

Seeing that the divorce could not be completed and that she was beaten, the woman felt resentful and cheated on the bachelor when he was out.

Who is Wang Laowu? He was a soldier, so his detective ability is not to be underestimated. He soon discovered the conspiracy and finally caught them in bed. Wang Laowu was so angry that he immediately picked up a kitchen knife and wanted to kill them.

In other words, the neighbors reacted in time and stopped Wang Laowu, otherwise he would have been shot.

After this incident, Wang Laowu divorced the woman. After the divorce, Wang Laowu somehow got involved with the group of people involved in the movement and started a life of smashing and looting. During that time, Wang Laowu lived like a fish in water.

It was not until 1974 that Wang Laowu was discovered to be having an affair with the lover of the director of the Revolutionary Committee. The director dug up dirt on him and eventually sent him to prison. He was not released until 1980.

But after all this, everyone knew who he was. When he was released, his parents had died, his brothers and sisters disowned him, and he couldn't find a job. In the end, he had to beg for help from everyone he knew to get a job as a night soil collector.

Wang Laowu's family lives in an alley. This place was left to him by someone before his parents passed away. Otherwise, he would have no place to live when he came out of prison.

It's a large compound in a remote location. Except for Wang Laowu, everyone else there has moved out.
