Against the current Hengdao

Ling He was even more excited than the old Wang next door, pressing his shoulders and questioning: "What did you see that night, you tell me?"

Even though it has been a long time, some heart-rending emergencies have burned irregular traces in the memory, and finally turned into a scar or a sore in the brain, which peels off and bleeds from time to time.Wang Chongliang was terrified and in a trance, gestured with his hands: "It's on fire, I saw someone set it on fire!

"It wasn't an accident, it wasn't an accidental fire. A thief entered the hotel at night, and a fight broke out in the hotel...several people fought, and they hacked people with knives...I was terrified, and I didn't dare to see that I ran away quietly , Then I saw Shuping came back, the store was on fire, they set it on fire——

"My wife was burned to death, she fell from upstairs to her death as a charred charcoal!

"She's pregnant, she's pregnant with my son, ahhh—"

He was also a middle-aged man who was about four sheets away. He was suddenly torn out of his thoughts and told a dusty past. He shook his shoulders and wailed loudly, falling into uncontrollable grief and choking.

A man's cry is a sudden emotional outburst after a long period of repression and aggrievedness, which is even more unbearable than a woman's cry.Years of collapse and despair finally found a chance to vent out, and the snot and tears rubbed his chest into a mess.Heart-piercing cries lingered on the ruined roofs and echoed on a ruined street.

Yan Xiaodao, who came a step late, was standing at the door of Wang Chongliang's house that was about to collapse.

A lonely street lamp cast the afterglow on his upright body, like a guiding light for him in the dark.Faced with another human tragedy that he saw and heard with his own eyes, his heart is like a mirror.

In order to cover up a murder, he was forced to commit more murders to cover up the truth. The area of ​​the pool of blood grew bigger and bigger, and it was caught off guard and out of control. From time to time, they emerged from the underground river to see the light of day again, slowly moved and spliced ​​together, and finally connected into a well-founded chain of evidence.

Yan Xiaodao's eyes were serious, looking at the man on the rubble of the ground, who was crying bitterly because his family was ruined and his family was destroyed, there was an emotion called human nature in his heart, as if he was being pressed and run over a needle board.

If you were a cold-hearted and selfish person, you would feel that these past events have nothing to do with you.But with Yan Xiaodao, he felt like an accomplice.

……

That night, Captain Xue's good words of comfort and Mr. Ling's constant coercion and threats, with the efficiency of pursuing two prongs, made Wang Chongliang, the last nail household on this street, tell the truth intermittently.Moreover, this person has a very good memory and remembers many details. He must have been alone all year round, living in poverty and simplicity, and the only warm memory in his mind is the chat with his lover Li Shuping back then.

Wang Chongliang, who just came to work in Sanjiang more than ten years ago, is indeed a handsome young man with hard work. He usually goes to the construction site to move bricks and earn a little money with his strength. He is also employed on this street to build house, painting, and met Li Shuping who lived across the street and ran a family hotel during the part-time job.

Li Shuping's husband made some money by opening a shop and became wealthy.A man is a creature, no matter what class he belongs to, no matter if he is a royal relative or a member of the Lower Liba, as long as he lives in a prosperous life and has spare money in his pocket, he will inevitably have restless thoughts and flowery intestines.It is said that Li Lianfu took care of his mistress in the town, and he often lived outside and did not go home. Almost all the trivial matters of the hotel business fell on Li Shuping.

The young and lonely proprietress who stays alone in the vacant house, and the cheating husband who cheats her husband in a false name, but there is a young, handsome and strong bachelor living across the street...

Wang Chongliang went back to the hotel where the proprietress Li Shuping lived to paint the window edges.He squatted on the ground to work, followed the footsteps behind him and turned his head suddenly. What he saw from bottom to top was Li Shuping wearing a hollow pajamas, with the faint curves under the fabric, her hair dripping with water, and her bare feet. stand in front of him.Wang Chongliang, a cucumber egg who has never been touched by a woman, how can he stand this kind of temptation?At that moment, lust caught fire and caused the two of them to lose control...

The infidelity, which originally implied revenge, revealed the truth on the floor of the hotel kitchen and on the sofa of the guest room for many years. It turned out that there was a secret knot in the womb. Wang Chongliang originally wanted to wait for all the wages for this year to be settled, so he eloped with Li Shuping and flew away. , Find a place where no one knows them to live a small life.

God is so lucky and unscrupulous, the small life of a family of three who was like-minded in fantasy did not start, and the hopes and longings of a group of mediocre people struggling at the bottom of the society for life were all shattered in that hazy rainy night. .

Li Shuping went back to her hometown with her real husband to do business. The hotel was temporarily closed for a few days, and the door was locked with a big lock.However, this kind of door lock is against gentlemen but not against villains, and it can't stop villains who want to sneak into this empty inn and stay overnight.And the accident that happened that night happened to be seen by the concubine Wang Chongliang who was familiar with the way and sneaked out of the backyard window to peep...

Many seemingly vague dark lines were pieced together, and Captain Xue, who has a keen mind, has already spelled out the general process of the incident and drawn out a clearly identifiable thread.

A lavender sky appeared in the sky, and a layer of fish-belly white appeared in the purple air coming from the east. Captain Xue stayed up all night to sort out a large number of clues and the direction of the next investigation.He raised his head from the keyboard of his portable laptop, with a voice recorder pinned to his neckline, and his mobile phone between the left half of his face and his left shoulder. He quickly issued all the tasks on the phone without delaying a moment, racing against time .

Captain Xue has a fiery temper and is really quick in handling things, which is truly admired by outsiders.

This living yaksha seems to have three heads, can think three thoughts at the same time, take care of six directions, and stretch out eight hands to work at the same time!

Xue Qian's eyes shot out two excited lights like bright lights on the night road, and he said to everyone in detail: "Now we know that Chen Jiu, who ran away with boxes of stolen money that day, should have hijacked a car with Ling's Hanchao The minivan with the logo of the Group' passed through here along the suburban road in the rainy night. And he didn't kill the driver at that time, maybe he was preparing for a long-distance run and needed someone to drive for him to save trouble. It's a pity that the surveillance methods in the suburbs back then It is extremely backward, and there is no video material at all with the passage of time. As the first criminal of the bank robbery, Chen Jiu naturally did not dare to stay in a hotel or stay overnight blatantly. The dove occupies the magpie's nest with peace of mind.

"If we paint a character portrait of Chen Jiu, Chen Jiu has a tyrannical temperament and extreme violent tendencies, but his mind is far from shrewd and meticulous. Obviously, he is not a big deal. He urgently needs a think tank by his side. He is extremely conceited Regardless of the future, he can only be a reckless man who relies on his strength and strength to fight alone. This person is so proud of carrying a huge sum of money, and maybe he is thinking about lighting a fire in the hotel, cooking, and getting a good night's sleep. The oriole catching the cicada is behind. According to my analysis, there should be more than one enemy following!... The so-called driver must also be involved. Nine."

Yan Xiaodao silently listened to Captain Xue's analysis of the case, and he really made sense.He now knows most of the facts by heart, which is equivalent to listening to Xue Qian's detailed summary statement, and he can almost jump to the closing report in one step.

In other words, the half of the facts he and Ling He have grasped here, combined with the other half of the clues Xue Qian discovered, can piece together a complete story. It all depends on whether he is willing to confess and whether Ling He intends to have a direct relationship with Captain Xue. cooperated.

Xue Qian continued: "According to Wang Chongliang's confession, the murderer followed Chen Jiu and sneaked into the hotel. The two sides encountered a battle on a dark and stormy night, and finally embarked on a sinful road of no return. At least a total of There were four people who hacked Chen Jiu to death in partnership and robbed the important stolen money. This process was watched for a short period by Wang Chongliang, but he ran away in fright before he dared to see clearly—if he didn’t run away, he might as well. He was hacked to death on the spot! And at this moment, the owner and his wife came back one after another and stepped into a terrible death trap...

"Wang Chongliang did not see Li Shuping coming home from the main entrance in time, but based on the ending, it can be speculated that Li Shuping entered the store with the front foot and was immediately restrained. Li Lianfu entered the store with the back foot. The couple encountered the murderer at the same time. In the end, the bizarre fire witnessed by Wang Chongliang and many neighbors on this street happened.

"Li Shuping and his wife were completely innocent in this disaster. The two of them trampled to death unexpectedly and encountered an indiscriminate disaster. As witnesses who had to be wiped out, they were destined to be burned together with the scene of the crime." A pile of black coke. Li Shuping, who was pregnant, fell from the second floor of the hotel. She was probably thrown down cruelly.

"This was not an ordinary fire. It was a gas tank explosion. The explosive fire blew up all the traces and blood in the store, and destroyed the body. Only Chen Jiu's body was transported away at that time. The group shrewdly covered up the first scene. According to the time calculation, they immediately caused an explosion in the chemical factory, and they used it as the perfect place to dump the corpse, and they dug that Boss Ling. Until recently, the corpse was rediscovered in the acid and alkali ruins of the abandoned factory building and was discovered by the police .”

The reason why Captain Xue concluded that this hotel was the first scene without identifying the traces was because he asked the only living witness Wang Chongliang to identify the photos.

After many years, Wang Chongliang was so out of his wits that he couldn't see the murderer clearly, but he could see the victim's face clearly.This person found Chen Jiu's face from seven or eight photos at a glance: "This is the man. He fell on the floor of the first floor with blood all over his face and body. I hid outside the window, and I was so scared. I have had this face in my nightmares for several years, I definitely can’t recognize him, Officer Xue, it’s him..."

A police car and several plainclothes officers took the witness Wang Chongliang away and placed him properly and protected him.

Wang Chongliang was very wary of the people around him, and he was only willing to trust Captain Xue: "Officer Xue, will I not be beaten again when I enter the police? I'm afraid I will be accused of being a suspect again."

Xue Qian said to this person: "Don't worry, this time the good guy will not be wronged, and the real culprit will never be let go."

Wang Chongliang also reported to the police back then, but as an uneducated villager who didn't know how to handle cases, he almost fell into the police station to record a statement.The clerk back then tried Wang Chongliang with the attitude of judging the gourd case randomly, and used the method of forced confession, and even suspected that he reported false police reports to disturb the official line of sight.Wang Chongliang was forced to change his confession, and since then he has kept silent about the truth. The fire was vaguely classified as an accident until the task force brought up the old matter again and reopened the old case.

This time, this well-known stubborn householder does not need to confront the demolition team directly with a kerosene bottle. Xue Yecha made the decision for Wang Chongliang, and severely scolded those unkind faces wandering outside the broken gate of Wang's house. : "The house is not allowed to be demolished, and no one is allowed to touch the bricks and tiles on it! This house is now the evidence of a criminal case, and there may be something left by Li Shuping in it. I have the final say on this matter! If you are not convinced, let your company leaders and village cadres come and find me!"

Xue Qian gave Yan Xiaodao a meaningful look.

A group of people walked back to the hotel, and Xue Qian helped Mr. Yan.Yan Xiaodao put his arm around Xue Qian's shoulder and patted him hard.His emotions are extremely complicated, but he also has the morality, benevolence and reason that he pays attention to, and said sincerely: "Captain Xue has worked hard, solve the case as soon as possible, and let the truth come to light."

"The case will be solved soon!" Xue Qian suddenly leaned into his ear and whispered, "Expert in the identification of knife marks, I have something to ask you."

The two found a secluded place at the corner of the first floor of the hotel.

Ling He seemed to cast a sharp glance at him, presumably because he and Xue Yacha's progress in turning enemies into friends was too fast, and they were so good that they hooked their shoulders together!Yan Xiaodao knew that the young and energetic Mr. Ling was jealous, so he gave Ling He a wink: Good boy, let's talk about serious business.

The two stood still at the window that was covered with the twilight of the morning light. Xue Qian went straight to the point and said concisely: "Mr. Yan, do you still remember that you looked at the pictures for the bureau and deduced the faces of the murderers?"

Xue Qian was clear about the past, Yan Xiaodao nodded, and there was no need to hide his identity as a cross-border informant from Xue Qian.

"One of the murderers, as you judged, out of some strange behavioral habit, or a perverted sexual psychology, he stabbed many sharp-shaped wounds with the tip of a knife straight up and down near the hip bones and sexual organs of the deceased " Xue Qian retrieved the photos from the encrypted gallery of his laptop, and quietly showed them to Yan Xiaodao, "Help me take a closer look, aren't these two pictures very similar?"

Yan Xiaodao leaned on the screen and watched carefully.The previous picture was Chen Jiu's skeleton that he had observed, and the latter picture was obviously from the Linwan Wharf on a rainy night.He recognized the deck made of sleepers at a glance. On that piece of wood, there were also densely packed small holes poked by the tip of the knife.

There are knife marks all over the vicissitudes of wood grain, which must make dense phobia patients feel an eyesore and discomfort. However, in front of Yan Xiaodao, who has precise discrimination ability, this is a decisive piece of evidence that can show that Skynet is not missing!

His eyes were glued to the radiation emanating from the computer screen.The strength and angle of each person's knife are unique and exclusive, which cannot be imitated or copied.In the eyes of people like Yan Xiaodao, identifying knife marks is like reading fingerprints by experts from the identification department of the police station.

"Who is this? Who used the knife?" As soon as Yan Xiaodao's words came out, a flash of light flashed in Yan Xiaodao's mind, asking himself and answering, "You... You Jinglian?!"

"It's this person." Xue Qian nodded with the slightest movement, "I got this evidence on the spot the night of the accident, and I also think it's very similar."

Yan Xiaodao couldn't believe it, after all Master You sat in the high position of a member of the party. Could it be that this person was a bandit 15 years ago?You Jinglian, who is usually upbeat and dignified, has committed such a shocking murder. It's unimaginable. Knowing people and faces is hard to know.

Xue Qian whispered: "Besides, before You Jinglian was transferred to our place, he had been working in the south. I checked, and he is not from our hometown. He was originally from Sanjiang, and his native place and birthplace are only 20 kilometers away from here. kilometers away from Luojiang City."

now it's right.

If You Jinglian's original fortune was here, tracing back to the source, everything can be traced to the original footprints.

As long as the identity of one of them is confirmed, can the other accomplices be found?It would be clear if Secretary You's social relationships along the way were broken up.

Yan Xiaodao reciprocated, and also contributed a clue to Xue Qian: "Captain Xue, I fell down the stairs last night chasing Wang Chongliang, and the fall was not in vain!"

Yan Xiaodao squatted down to the bottom of the stairs of the hotel, and pointed out to Captain Xue: "Look, although this hotel is newly built, but with the slope behind it, it can be imagined that the old shop of Li Shuping and his wife is almost the same. The layout, this staircase turned three turns, it should be the original building layout built on the mountain. Not only did I fall over this uniquely shaped staircase, it should have also fallen Chen Jiu's fatal fall at the beginning!"

Xue Qian immediately understood what Yan Xiaodao was referring to.Yan Xiaodao said: "Chen Jiu had fracture marks on his legs. It is speculated that he was probably attacked, chased, and besieged by someone. He fell down the stairs and broke his leg. He failed to escape and died in the end."

"This picture is amazing, thanks to Mr. Yan!" Captain Xue clapped his hands, his eyes shone brightly, and he listened to him again, "Mr. Yan tries to keep the details of the case under consideration first, and don't startle the snake."

"Captain Xue, don't worry." Yan Xiaodao was gratified and grateful for Xue Qian's trust in him at this time, even though he was not worthy of the other party's trust based on what he really knew.

He would not betray his godfather, but he would not betray Xue Qian either.Walking on the edge of light and darkness, looking for a way of survival in the cracks, and walking alone on the tightrope of heaven's justice and old love, this journey is very difficult for him, but he has no hesitation.

Yan Xiaodao sat on the last step, looking at a wisteria showing tenacious vitality on the broken tiles outside the hotel door.A very important cornerstone of his heart crumbled and collapsed, and the fragments of the rubble pierced his heart.However, at the same time, it seems that there is a new piece of vegetation covering the original ruins, and new greenery grows in tangles from the dry gully at the heart.This is like a necessary path in his bumpy life, a hurdle that he must cross, a rebirth after he has learned from the pain and reborn.

Ling He hugged his waist from behind: "The two of us probably don't need here, I'll take you home."

Yes, as long as You Jinglian's identity is exposed, everything will be solved by following the clues. It's just a matter of time and efficiency.Everything is handed over to the trustworthy captain Xue, and there is no need for the two plainclothes assistant policemen with their own dry food.

Yan Xiaodao firmly grasped Ling He's wrist, like a drowning soul finally confirmed that he has not abandoned his life raft, he nodded calmly: "Let's go home."

Ling He seemed to kiss his hair from behind.

Yan Xiaodao was not sure, but he felt a hot breath on the scalp buried between the hair on the top of his head.Ling He approached suddenly irresistibly, no longer caring about the boring eyes of the people around him, and then carried him away like no one else.
