"Click!" The door lock opened, Lu Mingfeng bowed and said, "Police officer, this is this room, please come in."

Zhou Mian nodded and said, "When you discovered the theft scene, the door was still locked!"

Lu Mingfeng nodded and said, "Yes."

Zhou Mian took the door lock from him and looked at it. The style is very common, the type that needs to be completed by keys when opening and locking. The keyhole is also very smooth, without obvious scratches. After reading it, Zhou Mian returned the door lock to Lu Mingfeng and said, "Go in and take a look."

Under the guidance of Lu Mingfeng, everyone entered the house. There were about 35-40 square meters in the room. There were a row of high cabinets next to the wall opposite the door, with 5 large books on the left, with pens, inkstones, paper, abacus and other items placed on it. Behind the books were a row of bookshelfs, with books, paper rolls, wooden boxes and some craft decorations; there were also a row of bookshelfs against the wall opposite the bookshelf, and the items placed were similar.

Overall, the furniture in the room was very neat and there was no sign of turning it around. Zhou Mian said: "After you discovered theft, you moved nothing in the room."

Lu Mingfeng hurriedly said: "No, we have heard of the propaganda and know that we should protect the scene."

Zhou Mian nodded. The continuous theft cases in Beijing have also made the East China government popularize a lot of laws and crime-responsive knowledge among the people. Among them, protecting the crime scene is one of the most important knowledge.

Now it has been 7 days since the male and female double-swallow thieves committed the crime in Prince Chun's mansion. Although the male and female double-swallow thieves did not commit the crime, their influence in Beijing has increased day by day. In addition to the male and female double-swallow thieves committed the crime against the royal palace, which can cause a huge impact, there is another big reason that during this period, several consecutive cases of thieves committed the crime in Beijing.

Due to the huge influence of male and female double swallow couple thieves, the big and small thieves in Beijing are unwilling to remain silent and are ready to move. They all committed crimes one after another. During this period, more than a dozen theft cases have occurred, including four of which are famously prosecuted as the male and female double swallow couple thieves. The reason why the impersonation is because male and female double swallow couple thieves commit crimes is usually left with a double swallow dart as their mark, but some impersonators do not understand, while others do not have double swallow darts, so there are also many memories. Some hold words or pictures on the wall, some leave notes, and some leave two paper-folded swallows. Of course, they are finally confirmed to be impersonated, and it is after the case is finally solved.

Although Zhou Mian's knowledge of solving cases was mainly learned from film and television and detective novels in the old time and space, he had read some professional materials after all, and with the actual practices over the past few years, he was really not a waste of his name, but he still had some real knowledge.

Now Zhou Mian's main energy is still on the case of arresting male, female, double-swallow couple thieves. Therefore, Zhou Mian certainly does not take action for ordinary cases, but if it is a case related to male, male, double-swallow couple thieves, Zhou Mian will naturally take action personally. Unfortunately, four cases have been investigated by Zhou Mian and solved them as impersonation. After all, the methods of committing crimes in these cases are very clumsy, and it is not difficult to solve the case. The perpetrators of three cases were arrested, and one of them has also identified the suspect and is being arrested.

The case was solved, but Zhou Mian was in a very conflicting mood. It was not the male, male, double-sex couple committed the crime, which shows that the East China government’s control over Beijing was effective. The East China government mobilized nearly 32,000 manpower for this. In addition to the police and the National Guard, it also mobilized a large number of troops to participate in the control of Beijing. At night, it almost fully monitored the city of Beijing and did not give the male, male, double-sex couple committed the crime. But if the male, male, double-sex couple did not commit the crime, then the chance of arresting them would be slim, and this was also the result that Zhou Mian did not want to see.

Now is the fifth case related to the male and female couple thieves. The stolen one was a cloth shop and the stolen one was about 200 yuan silver dollars. Although Zhou Mian could almost determine that this case was a false name, Zhou Mian still investigated the case himself, after all, he could not let go of a clue.

The situation of this cloth store is not complicated. The owner is Lu Mingfeng, who married a wife, gave birth to a man and a woman, both underage, and hired a mother and a daughter, and 6 other men, all living in the store, with a total of 12 people. The cloth store is operated by four generations and is a time-honored brand. It has accumulated a lot of connections. The houses are all own and there is no need to pay rent. Therefore, the business is pretty good. Although it is not enough, it is still more than that.

Since the houses in the cloth shop are all own, they are naturally commercial and residential. They are a second-entry courtyard with houses with left and right cross-yards. The first-entry courtyard is the storefront, the second-entry courtyard is the place to receive major customers and accounting rooms. The left-entry courtyard is the home, and the mother and girl live here, and they also have a kitchen, the right-entry courtyard is the housekeeper and the warehouse.

The place where the stolen was the tent, which was the room where Lu Mingfeng now guided Zhou Mian and his group to arrive. There was no useful clue on the scene, because the tent was where Lu Mingfeng was coming every day, so there was naturally no dust, so there was no footprints left. Only the lock of the second cabinet on the right was smashed, and there were obvious heavy objects impacting and damage marks on the cabinet door.

Lu Mingfeng opened the cabinet door. The cabinet was divided into four layers, each of which was about 50 cm high. In addition to the account book, there were zygotes of large and small sizes. Lu Mingfeng took out a wooden box from the second floor and said, "This is the box for money."

Zhou Mian looked at it and found that the wooden box had no locks and the style was very ordinary. Compared with other boxes in the cabinet, it was nothing special. Zhou Mian said: "Except for the stolen silver dollars, have other things in the cabinet been passive."

Lu Mingfeng shook his head and said, "Nothing else has been moved except this box."

Zhou Mian nodded and closed the cabinet door again. Lu Mingfeng took a dagger and a piece of paper from the desk, handed it to Zhou Mian, and said, "After I came in in the morning, I found it on the cabinet door, and pulled him down." He pointed to a thin slit about 3 cm long on the cabinet door and said, "It's just inserted it here."

Zhou Mian took the paper and said the six words "The male and female double swallows stole" on it. The words were written crookedly and had no brushwork. Looking at the dagger, the work was very rough, far from the few double swallow darts I discovered before.

After looking at it for a while, Zhou Mian came to the desk, took out a piece of paper from the paper, compared it with the paper left by the perpetrator, dipped it ink, drew a few strokes on the paper, and handed it to Chen Jibai, saying, "Take it back for testing."

Then he asked Lu Mingfeng: "Have your guy ever come in this house?"

Lu Mingfeng said: "Of course there is. When I don't greet you in front, I'm here to arrange their work."

Zhou Mian said: "Is it possible for your guy to come into this house without you, such as asking them to pick up something for you, or send something in first?"

Lu Mingfeng nodded and said with great certainty: "Yes, of course there are."

Zhou Mian said: "You usually settle accounts here, and when you put money, do you close the door?"

Lu Mingfeng shook his head and said, "It's usually not closed."

Zhou Mian nodded and said, "In other words, the people in your store may see you put your money in that box and lock it in the cabinet."

Lu Mingfeng thought about it again and said, "This is possible."

Zhou Mian smiled and said, "Do you usually carry the keys of the cabinet and the door keys of the house at this time?"

Lu Mingfeng said: "I usually carry the keys of the cabinet with me, but the door keys are too big. My wife also often comes to check the accounts and sometimes sends a friend to pick up things. It is inconvenient to carry them with me, so they usually put them in the counter outside."

Zhou Mian said: "Okay, take us outside to have a look."

Lu Mingfeng agreed and led Zhou Mian and his party to the front buying yard. The area is quite large, about 60 square meters, with samples of cloth placed on both sides and in the middle. There are two resting chairs on the left and right of the door. The counter is in front of the back wall of the front door. There is a door hole on the right, leading to the back room and the reception room.

The counter is about 1.2 meters high, about 3 meters long and about 1 meter wide. It is placed with shear force, ruler and other tools, which are obviously used as a cutting cloth and are used for measuring operating tables. Lu Mingfeng opened a drawer, which contained more than 10 silver dollars and a key box, and said: "The keys in the account room are usually placed here."

Zhou Mian said: "This drawer is not locked normally."

Lu Mingfeng said: "It is usually not locked when business is open, but it will lock it after closing the business. However, sometimes when you get busy, you forget to lock it after closing the business. Because our store is an old store, there has never been any theft in the past. Most of the guys are old people who have worked in the store for several years. They know the truth and don't pay so much attention in normal times."

Zhou Mian said: "Do you remember whether the drawer was locked yesterday?"

Lu Mingfeng shook his head and said, "There is no lock. Last night, I took a few friends to Xiaogou Village outside the city to deliver goods. After closing the business, I was busy loading the car and loading the goods. The drawers were not locked. It was not until the fourth update that I came back. Because I came back too late, I went to bed in the house and didn't think about locking the drawers." As he said that, he handed Zhou Mian the night travel permit and the city pass to see.

Due to the case of male, female, double swallow couple thieves, Beijing City has now implemented strict supervision. There must be documents entering and leaving the city. When passing through the city gate, the person guarding the city gate will confirm that there are exits and entering before they can be released. Moreover, after 10 o'clock in the evening, if you have to go out for activities, you must apply for a night trip permit.

Zhou Mian took the city pass, had a stamp for entering and leaving, and specifically stated that five people were clothed in a car. So he said, "You said there were 6 guys in the store, but yesterday you only brought 4 people out of the city to deliver goods!"
