Hunting down the Northwest Wilderness

It was already late at night when the father and son came out of the bureau.

Fang Lingshu originally thought that Fang Zhengjun would be on duty in the bureau, but his father followed him out: "I'll go home with you." Then he said: "Don't go out to play at night."

Fang Lingshu smiled: "There is a case, I will definitely not go out."

He changed his clothes into a tight-fitting T-shirt and denim shorts. He wore a flamboyant hat with the brim stuck in front of his bangs. He looked like a freshman who had just entered society.

Fang Zhengjun stared at him for a long time, and muttered: "Wear a hat in the hot weather, I will get hot just looking at you."

Fang Lingshu pinched the hat with both hands: "It's pretty."

Fang Zhengjun stopped talking.

The father and son walked one behind the other on the dark Chang'an Road. Fang Zhengjun was pushing his bicycle, and Fang Lingshu didn't dare to drive.The night in Chang'an is prosperous. It has been prosperous since thousands of years ago. A murder case cannot shake its prosperity in the world.Along the way, the willow shade hides the Yan language, exhorting and euphemistically, which is the unique and peaceful charm of the ancient capital.

Both of them thought in their hearts, how fragile this tranquility is, and it will be broken once a needle is poked.

After walking for a long time, Fang Zhengjun finally said, "At the preparatory meeting today, you stole the limelight."

Fang Lingshu was waiting for his words.

"Dad, are you angry?"

"I'm not angry, I just think you are ignorant." Fang Zhengjun stopped and turned to look at his son: "You go to the United States and you are used to freedom, but in China, you have to know that there are some things you shouldn't say." Say, you shouldn't say it at this time."

Fang Lingshu turned his head and stared straight at his father.

Fang Zhengjun didn't evade either, the father and son were like two fighting cocks, the hot air was swirling around them.

Just now in the bureau, Fang Lingshu had a big talk, and at the end of the talk, everyone was a little dizzy.

"Xiaofang, we are all members of the Communist Party and believe in Marxism." Chen Guohua rubbed his temples: "What you said earlier makes sense, and what Lao Fang said also makes sense. But now you are talking about the resurrection of the dead, which is a bit unrealistic."

Fang Lingshu looked at him obediently: "Yes, the dead will not be resurrected, but vendettas are possible. Do you all remember the civil dispute that our bureau dealt with half a month ago?"

Fang Zhengjun stood up suddenly: "I will say this, you don't say it."

Fang Lingshu ignored him: "On August [-]th, the bureau received a report. Lu Shigang's son, Lu Tianjiao, accidentally injured his coach Liang Feng during shooting training. Liang Feng failed to rescue him and died in the hospital that night. .”

Fang Zhengjun stopped him loudly: "I have already said this, Fang Lingshu, please sit down, and I will say it next."

Fang Lingshu was still saying, "Liang Feng's wife passed away a long time ago, and there is only one son, Liang Xu, in the family. It is difficult for Liang Xu to have peace of mind for killing his father."

Fang Zhengjun's head was twisted with blue veins: "Civil disputes, accidental injury and death have all been investigated. Where did the revenge for killing the father come from? Fang Lingshu, sit down!"

He was indeed a little too excited, Chen Guohua coughed: "Lao Fang, let him finish."

Fang Lingshu stopped talking and looked at his father: "That's all I have to say."

Fang Zhengjun held his breath in his throat and rolled up and down for a long time: "Yes, that's all. Those who should be investigated must be investigated. This must not be let go."

Chen Guohua felt that his reaction was a bit strange, and it was difficult to ask in detail for a while, so everyone exchanged opinions.

"Lu Shigang's social relations will continue to be investigated. All residents of Cuiwei District, including the relevant personnel mentioned above, must be investigated." Chen Guohua stood up: "Director Li Chengcheng will rush back from Beijing tomorrow, and I will be on duty tonight. hall news."

Then, he glanced at Fang Zhengjun: "Whether the accidental injury dispute on August [-]th is related to the Qujiang case, Liang Xu will be summoned tomorrow. We will never let go of any doubts."

Everyone has assigned and arranged tomorrow's work.

It will be like this.

After the meeting was over, Fang Lingshu went to change clothes first, and Chen Guohua called Fang Zhengjun: "Old Fang, stay here."

Fang Zhengjun took the cigarette from him: "Chen Bureau."

Chen Guohua led him to go outside together. The two of them just lit a cigarette without talking. They went straight to a secluded place outside, and the two of them looked at the moon with the mosquitoes on their hands.

Chen Guohua stepped on the cigarette butt and said, "Old Fang, your reaction just now is a bit unlike you."

Fang Zhengjun smiled, and changed the subject: "Without a headless case, no one would be reconciled to changing it, right?"

Chen Guohua looked at him for a long time, and sighed: "I said something that I shouldn't say in my capacity—maybe you shouldn't listen to it, but I still want to say—you have been delayed by this case for too many years, I hope you will be careful Some, at our age, there is no need to force yourself, but I have nothing, I just say this for you."

This is said in a subtle way.

Fang Zhengjun remained silent.

He is 49 years old this year, and he is still just a detachment leader. Others have already made it up. Among his peers, he is always the group that is difficult to promote.Fang Zhengjun has been working hard for so many years, why not be promoted?Fang Zhengjun, who was in charge of the original case, cannot absolve himself of the blame for the ineffective investigation of the Jinchuan case and the fruitless handling of the case.

"It's not that I don't support you. The provincial party committee, the municipal party committee, the provincial department, and the corps will fully support us in solving vicious cases." Chen Guohua lit his cigarette again, "But Lao Fang, are you considering retiring bravely, or leaving this case behind? Directly hand over to the Provincial Public Security Bureau—major and important cases, some people will do it. You will retreat to the second line immediately, this leader, you don’t have to do it.” He lowered his head: “Either let Xiaofang try, young man, It doesn't matter if you make a mistake."

Fang Zhengjun still did not respond.

Chen Guohua was hinting euphemistically, implying that he changed hands on the case.

Bureau Chen did it out of goodwill, and Fang Zhengjun knew it all.

The attitude of the higher-ups is very subtle. For Shangfeng, "stability" is more important than "results". Everything is serious.

"Old Chen, you understand me." Fang Zhengjun changed his address: "You are doing it for my own good, but you also understand that the Jinchuan case has become my demon. If I can't catch this murderer, I won't be able to die in peace. "

Chen Guohua looked at him sadly. They both came from the police academy and fought side by side for more than 20 years. Sometimes he would think, if he is not a criminal policeman, he is destined to have a case that cannot be solved?The more anxious you are for justice, the more desperate your life will be.

They are the ones who live with a needle in the back of their head, and for 15 years, the killer got away with it, so much so that even the masses have forgotten about it.

"Even if someone is caught, Lao Fang, won't there be another murder in the world?"

Chen Guohua felt that he was powerless to ask this question.

Fang Zhengjun didn't answer his words. Fang Zhengjun raised his hand and waved away the smoke and mosquitoes: "At the beginning, many people said that Lu Shigang was the murderer. It was me who insisted on innocence. If I want to arrest people, I must I really believe that he is the murderer, Lu Shigang's criminal evidence is insufficient, and he has an alibi, so I can't let him be a scapegoat."

Chen Guohua looked at him.

"To tell you the truth, I still suspect Lu Shigang in my heart after so many years, and I always want to capture him on the spot. Every time a new murder happens, I want to kill myself, because no one can guarantee whether it is because of my misplacement. And killed another family!"

The more Fang Zhengjun talked, the more excited he became, and he had nowhere to vent his excitement, so he had to slap the mosquitoes one by one.Loud applause echoed in the compound of the Public Security Bureau.

But now, Lu Shigang is dead, just like all the families who were exterminated in the Jinchuan case, he died by the same means.

The real murderer seems to want to prove the stupidity of the police in this way.

This is a demonstration, but also a mockery.

Fang Zhengjun felt an unprecedented setback, and besides the setback, he also felt fear.

Chen Guohua stared at him: "Old Fang, tell me the truth. Liang Xu is the boy who came to the bureau before. Who is he?"

Fang Zhengjun didn't speak.

"You always have to tell me the truth, right?" Chen Guohua turned around in annoyance: "Your son! You asked so clearly, me! How many people are saving face for you! Fang, you still play riddles with me?"

Fang Zhengjun still didn't speak.

After an unknown amount of time, he raised his head pleadingly: "Look at tomorrow, see if the results of tomorrow's interrogation are good?"

Chen Guohua shoved him angrily: "What do you want me to say to Li Jiancheng? What to say to Liu Chen? Let me tell you, I'm not the only one who has thoughts in my heart now, everyone has thoughts in their hearts! Fang Lingshu is right! I have something to say As far as everyone is talking, what do you mean by holding yourself to death by yourself?"

Fang Zhengjun let the crowd push him back a few steps, he gritted his teeth and said, "I just feel that there are some unclean people among me."

Chen Guohua glared at him: "You have nothing to say and started pouring dirty water, right?"

"I will say what I need to say. If you don't need to say it, if you want to know, you can check it yourself." Fang Zhengjun stood still: "I will leave my words here. What else do you want to ask?"

Chen Guohua was asking him, and Fang Lingshu was asking him the same.It's just that Chen Guohua asked directly, while Fang Lingshu asked in a roundabout way.

More than half a month ago, Liang Feng was accidentally injured and killed by Lu Shigang's son. This civil dispute has indeed been sorted out. Although the court is still going through the procedure, the Public Security Bureau has submitted everything that should be submitted, and no criminal issues are involved. .

Even so, as the only family member of the victim, Liang Xu's attitude is suspicious no matter how you think about it.He made no fuss at all, as if his father was not dead but only slightly injured.

Under normal circumstances, family members should come to the gate of the Public Security Bureau to make trouble for a few days no matter what, and they should not let it go at the hospital. If you are more excited, you can go to the Letters and Calls Bureau for a walk——Liang Xu is too reasonable, so reasonable that it is a bit abnormal , his level of unreasonable trouble is zero.

Lu Shigang's Guangyuan Building Materials Company didn't even have a wreath or banner at the entrance. It can only be said that as a college student, Liang Xu's quality is too high.

Thinking about it today, it's a bit outrageous.

Fang Lingshu talked about this with his colleagues from the Criminal Investigation Center, and everyone laughed at him: "You have been brainwashed by the police and doctors, right? We have a good attitude and high efficiency, shouldn't the masses be satisfied? The Lu family agreed to pay compensation. His 200 million is not a small amount of money!"

As a civil servant, don't you just look forward to fewer petitions?Fang Lingshu might be out of his mind.

At first, Fang Lingshu also felt that his brain might be a little tricky.

If he hadn't seen Fang Zhengjun's tears that night.

Not too long ago, just last week, Fang Lingshu slipped into the study to steal cigarettes, when he saw his father wiping tears with a roll of something.

Fang Zhengjun was very panicked. He tried to calm down, and before his son could ask, he said, "Rub my head, my head hurts, and my eyes are sore."

He straightened his face and asked, "Come to get cigarettes again? Why don't you learn well?"

Fang Lingshu never saw what was in his father's hand. The next day Fang Zhengjun went to the file room first, and Fang Lingshu sneakily asked Xiao Sun in the file room: "Why is my father here?"

"What are you doing? Just return the dossier." Xiao Sun from the file room said in a daze.

"What dossier?"

"Ask him, let's talk about the civil case some time ago."

Fang Lingshu felt baffled.

Liang Feng didn't know Fang Zhengjun well, at least Fang Lingshu didn't remember such an uncle.Why did Fang Zhengjun cry while holding his dossier?

Fang Lingshu didn't see Liang Xu. During the few days of the civil case, he was doing training in Baoji and accompanied his mother by the way.

Fang Zhengjun also forbade him to harass the family members of the client.It can be said that if the Qujiang case had not happened, Fang Lingshu would have no reason to bother Liang Xu who was planning the funeral.

He hadn't intended to intervene in this closed case.

But now that the Qujiang case broke out, the identity of the deceased is embarrassing. He is not only a suspect in the first case in Jinchuan, but also just experienced a civil dispute.

If it is in the United States—no, anywhere in China—no, as far as Fang Zhengjun is serious and rigorous, these three cases should be connected as soon as possible.Those who are far away are far away, and those who are close are near close. They are all dead people's major events. Who hates less than whom?

Lu Tianjiao has an unshirkable responsibility for the death of Liang Xu's father. It is his fault for raising his father. From an emotional point of view, Liang Xu has sufficient motives for committing the crime. If he is really a murderer, he will definitely kill Lu Tianjiao first. , and then vented his anger on Lu Tianjiao's parents.

The preliminary inference of the forensic doctor was also completely consistent. The first to die was Lu Tianjiao, then his mother Zhang Qiuyu, and finally Lu Shigang.

This is different from the serial case, which has an obvious tendency to kill with passion, so there are traces of beatings on Lu Shigang's body.

As for why he imitated the method used in the Jinchuan case, Fang Lingshu hadn't figured it out yet. Perhaps Liang Xu wanted to obscure everyone's vision and blame the serial murderer who has not yet been brought to justice.

He should bear the brunt of the investigation target, his calm is the most suspicious place.

But very subtly, Fang Zhengjun was evading, and Chen Guohua was also helping to evade.

Fang Lingshu talked a lot today. In the end, he wanted to force out this civil case. In Fang Lingshu's eyes, it was clearly inextricably linked to the Qujiang case. The investigation should start from the nearest place.However, his father and the leader are deliberately covering up the connection between the two cases, and they are very suspected of covering up.

They are protecting Liang Xu.

Fang Lingshu didn't understand why they did this, so he wanted to ask.

"Buy me a bottle of water." Fang Zhengjun said.

Without further ado, Fang Lingshu went to a convenience store and bought two bottles of Nongfu Spring.

Fang Zhengjun unscrewed the bottle cap and didn't drink. He just held the plastic bottle, and the water overflowed from the mouth of the bottle.

He exerted force with his hand, and a stream of clear spring shot out from the mouth of the bottle.

"It's hard to get it back, have you seen it?" Fang Zhengjun said, "Some words have been said, and if you want to get them back, it will be too late."

"The water is clean." Fang Lingshu said, "But I feel that once the facts are concealed, they will appear dirty."

"Lingshu, you are still young, and you always feel that you have to understand everything to find the answer." Although there were few passers-by, Fang Zhengjun still tried to lower his voice: "Public opinion is a double-edged sword. We must protect the safety of the masses. We must also maintain the stability of the people's hearts. You can't learn from the United States. If something goes out, who will clean up the mess?"

"I didn't say I was looking for a reporter." Fang Lingshu was innocent.

"Yes, let alone a reporter, even in the bureau, you can't doubt it without evidence. You have to follow the procedure when you do something."

Fang Lingshu looked at him quietly: "Father, you never did this before."

Fang Zhengjun's lips moved for a moment, and finally he reached out and rubbed his son's hat.

"If you don't want to talk about some things, then I won't ask." Fang Lingshu said, "There will be an answer soon."
