Chapter 29: The End of the Psychic Case

  Liu Li's consciousness, which had attached itself to the shadow of the Tibetan Mastiff, was sizing up the environment in the room. He wanted to use his special ability to determine his current location, but the room was empty and devoid of any clues that could tell him where he was.

  At this time, Liu Li found that the meaning of possessing the Tibetan Mastiff's shadow began to disperse: "This is not good. The time limit for opening the heterochromia is approaching, but I still haven't figured out where this place is. What should I do?"

  Just as Liu was anxious, he suddenly saw the door of the room open, and a middle-aged man wearing a dirty single dress, with a towel on his shoulder, slippers on his feet, and sweat all over his body walked in.

  Just as he saw this, Liu Li's consciousness disappeared, and at the same time, a hint of regret flashed across Liu Li's face in the police car: "Damn it, the ability stopped at this time, if I could see it for a while longer."

  Liu Li was so regretful because when he previously experimented with his ability, he found that apart from the limitation of not being able to hear sounds when it's activated, there was another limitation - he could only use it once a day.

  "I'm going to go, when I first tried it out, this ability could clearly be reused, why did it become usable only once a day later?" After complaining for a bit, Liu Li muttered to himself: "I need to quickly find that hidden house with the Canghou, if those thieves move the Canghou away, it'll be troublesome."

  After driving back to the police station, Liu Li saw instructor Feng Yong sitting in the duty room on duty. Seeing this situation, he rushed into the duty room: "Instructor Feng, I'd like to ask you something."

  Is there a job that is relatively warm in your impression? Hmm, to be precise, it should be hotter. What I mean is, is there a kind of job that still needs to wear short sleeves to work in autumn?

  Moreover, this job is dirty and tiring. The workers inside can't even wear shoes and need to wear slippers to work. However, this kind of work is relatively free and easy to leave at any time. Most importantly, the living quarters in this type of work environment are not very restricted and there are no management personnel to inspect the dormitories.

  "How can I not understand what you mean?" Feng Yong looked at Liu Li with a puzzled face.

  It turned out that Liu Li took the middle-aged man he saw in his ability as a clue for investigation. Now it's October, already autumn, everyone is wearing coats, and some have even started wearing warm clothing.

  But the man he saw with his ability was still wearing a short-sleeved shirt, and his feet were also in slippers. Moreover, the man's whole body was covered in sweat, and the towel on his shoulder was also dripping wet.

  This suggests that the man was working in an extremely hot environment, with a towel draped over his shoulder, and it is likely that the heat in this work environment was persistent, rather than just being hot for a short period of time before cooling down.

  The man's clothes are very dirty, indicating that the man's working environment is very messy, so his clothes will be like this. He wears slippers on his feet, indicating that it is inconvenient to wear shoes at work.

  At first, Liu Li thought that the man's workplace had a lot of water, so he wore slippers, but later he dropped this inference because the weather had already started to cool down.

  If there is a lot of water in the man's working environment, he can wear rain boots instead of slippers. Liu Li judged that the man's workplace was very complicated and it was inconvenient to work wearing shoes.

  Moreover, when the man was at work, he could run into the room to observe the Tibetan Mastiff, which shows that the system of his unit is not strict, and the staff inside can leave their posts at any time.

  Furthermore, the dormitories of this unit are numerous or the living quarters are not restricted, and there is no management personnel to inspect the dormitories. Otherwise, men would not put those Tibetan mastiffs in an empty room, and afterwards, they can still go to work with peace of mind without worrying about someone discovering these Tibetan mastiffs.

  But Liu Li thought for half a day and couldn't think of a job that met these conditions, so after meeting Feng Yong at the police station, he would ask like that. Seeing that Feng Yong didn't understand his question, Liu Li had to ask again.

  Although he still didn't understand why Liu Li asked this, Feng Yong still helped think about it and concentrated on thinking for a moment. His eyes lit up: "As far as I know, there are indeed two types of work that fit your question."

  One is the spinning mill, where the workshop temperature is often maintained at over 30 degrees throughout the year. The workers inside are all sweating profusely, not just in autumn, but even in winter, they wear single-layer clothes in the workshop.

  Because the workshop floor is always flooded, workers there usually wear slippers during work. The spinning workers' job is both tiring and dirty. Female workers are relatively better off, while male workers have to wash their uniforms almost every day.

  However, the system inside the spinning mill is quite strict and it's impossible for workers to leave their posts at will. Moreover, the management of the dormitories is extremely strict because most of the workers in the spinning mill are women. In order to prevent accidents, the dormitory administrators almost check the dormitories every day.

  Upon hearing this, Liu Li couldn't help but shake his head: "This one doesn't work. Although the first half matches my requirements, the second half is not right because the textile factory's dormitory management is too strict and doesn't match up with my problem. What about another one? Which company is it?"

  After hearing this, Feng Yong told Liu Li: "The second one is the brick kiln factory. The work there can be said to be dirty, bitter and tiring. Often, a worker does several jobs at once. They spend most of their time in the kiln burning bricks and taking out bricks, so every day they are hot and sweaty like a steamer."

  Some workers, after taking the bricks from the kiln, also have to go to the soil slope to fill in the soil for the brick machine. When filling in the soil, the workers there are all barefoot or wearing slippers, because the surface of the soil slope is all soil, and as soon as you step on it, the soft soil will be knee-deep, making it impossible to wear shoes to fill in the soil.

  Because those workers were paid by the piece, they were basically unconstrained at work. The more they did, the more they earned; the less they did, the less they earned. No one supervised them.

  In addition to these, the dormitory aspect of the brick kiln is actually quite in line with your requirements. Because the kiln implements a subcontracting system, after the person in charge of the kiln subcontracts the work to migrant workers, they don't care about anything else except for checking production output, and usually don't supervise much inside the kiln, so the dormitory aspect is relatively lax.

  In each kiln factory, there are a large number of idle bungalows that no one checks, and the migrant workers working in the kiln factory are mostly from a village or a town. In order to ensure that they are not bullied, they will live together according to their hometown, so the vacancy rate of rooms in the brick kiln factory is even higher.

  For example, in a village where six people work in the kiln factory, these six villagers spontaneously live together, while people from another village live in other houses. They have no private contact with each other except for communication at work."

  Upon hearing this, Liu Li's eyes lit up instantly. He asked Feng Yong for Cheng Bin's number and then dialed it with his own phone. Once the call connected, Liu Li excitedly told Cheng Bin that he had found a lead on the thieves.

  Liu Li described the middle-aged man's appearance to Cheng Bin and told him that the six stolen Tibetan mastiffs were currently hidden in a dormitory of a certain kiln factory.

  Liu Li asked Cheng Bin to check the files of migrant workers in and out of the county, focusing on those working in kilns, to see if there were any people who had been dealt with for theft.

  Because the county bureau has been strict with outsiders and migrant workers, each police station has registered and verified the identities of migrant workers in their jurisdiction. If any of these individuals have a criminal record, the criminal police can check the system and find out immediately.

  After hanging up the phone, Liu Li waited for Cheng Bin's reply. About four or five minutes later, Cheng Bin called Liu Li back and told him that through investigation, they found that three N-province workers at Caijia Kiln Factory in Pinglin Town had a criminal record before committing the crime.

  These three people were sentenced to prison for stealing a farming cow, and had just been released two years ago. They had been working as laborers in their hometown until they came to work in Guxian County this February, accompanied by two fellow villagers.

  At the same time, the criminal police also found that there was a bread car in the kiln factory that was about to be scrapped. This car happened to be a silver-gray Wuling. Given that these five people have major suspicions of committing crimes, the criminal police are now rushing to Caijia Kiln Factory in Pinglin Town.
