Therefore, the first thing to do is to ask the director of the neighborhood committee to come forward, and if necessary, Wei Zimin from the police station will come forward.

The second thing is that Chen Jie, Yan Jianhua, and Han Lingling's investigation and visit should be carried out secretly, and the targets of the investigation are neighbors and relatives of the Ran family. The director of the neighborhood committee should also be invited to come forward one by one, and the place of the conversation will be the room just set by Ran Shikai at the Victory Hotel. Because the Victory Hotel is on Mafu Street, only half a mile away from Hoop Bucket Lane. To the west of Hoop Bucket Lane is Ran Ruzhai's silversmith shop, and the Ran family's compound is behind the silversmith shop.

As soon as Chen Jie finished talking with Ran Shikai, Wei Zimin led an old lady about sixty-five years old into Room 107 of the Victory Hotel.

This old lady is Zhang Qiuying, director of the neighborhood committee of Mafu Street. On the way to the hostel, Wei Zimin had already told Director Zhang the content of Ran Shikai's report. Director Zhang immediately packed the ticket: "Wei Gong'an, this matter is on me, I will first send Ran Shikai and his wife to the Ran family compound, and after settling them and his wife, I will invite neighbors one by one, relatives of the Ran family, some people may have gone back, there should be one or two relatives to stay for a few days, if someone stays, I will invite them to the hostel." Other relatives, tomorrow will be said. ”

"Director Zhang, this matter must be carried out quietly, and the three brothers and sisters of the Ran family cannot be let know." Chen Jie said.

"This--don't worry, I've got my own way. Or else! I will take you to a house first, and you will talk first, and then you will come back here. ”

"Okay, it's all up to Director Zhang's arrangement." Chen Jie said.

The group walked out of the hostel. Ran Shikai and his wife followed behind Director Zhang; Ran Shikai was carrying a travel bag in his hand.

The street lights are on. There were some hurried people walking on the street. There are no door panels in the shops along the street. The inside of the shop is brightly lit.

"That's Hoop Barrel Alley." Director Zhang stopped in front of a shop. There was the sound of cotton playing inside the shop.

Chen Jie looked up and saw a wooden sign on the door of the store, which read "Qiu Ji Cotton Shop".

"These two people have tight mouths, don't do much, and are kind. His family's cotton shop and Ran Ruzhai's silversmith shop were next to each other. Wei Gong'an, you stay with these comrades. ”

"Okay, I'll listen to Director Zhang."

Director Zhang walked straight into the cotton shop: "Qiu Laoer, stop - stop!" Director Zhang said loudly.

There were some cotton wool flying inside the shop, and the air was suffocating.

Probably Director Zhang was standing far away, and Qiu Lao Er was still playing his own cotton, and at this time, a woman about forty years old came out from behind the curtain: "Second child, Director Zhang is here!" The woman walked up to the man and said loudly.

The voice of playing cotton stopped abruptly: "It's Director Zhang!" Are you looking for me? Qiu Lao Er put down the mallet, untied the rope that fixed the longbow from his waist, and glanced at Chen Jie and his party.

Because it was an unannounced visit, Chen Jie and his entourage all changed into civilian clothes, and only Wei Zimin wore a police uniform.

"Director Zhang, if you have anything to say, please go to the courtyard and say it, look at the miasma here - it's too dirty." The woman said as she lifted the curtain.

"I won't go in, Qiu Laoer, these people are from above, they want to know a little something, they can say whatever you know, do you hear?"

"Yes—we know." Qiu Lao Er glanced at Ran Shikai and his wife standing at the door of the store.
