Evil and punishment [criminal investigation]

"There are five of them, two of them are nicknamed 'Tiger' and 'Old Leopard' we have been looking for, two of the other three are their subordinates, and one is called 'Brother Wang'. Later we Knowing that his name is Wang Guangde, he didn't pay much attention to their words, but he was equally fierce.

"I didn't struggle after waking up. I planned to find out my surroundings first. It was Wang Guangde who noticed me first. He felt it as soon as I glanced over. He was a very keen person. He called other people to come over. The tiger and the old leopard were special. Excited, they laughed without hesitation. I think the location of this warehouse must be very remote. They came over and spat at me in turn, then laughed sinisterly, saying that they had prepared a big gift for me. Wang Guangde pulled Yingzi came out." After Nie Cheng finished speaking, he paused.

"From where I was hanging I could only see the top of the container, so I hadn't noticed her. She was awake all the time, with her hands and feet bound with duct tape, and a layer of flat straps tied to the outside of the container. With yellow tape and bruises on her face and legs, I think she tried to escape but failed. She was so excited when she saw me that tears welled up in her eyes.

"The tiger walked up to her first and didn't untie her. He lifted her blouse and touched her belly. When the body touched, Yingzi cried a lot. At first, she hid back, her hands were tied behind her and she couldn't use any strength. Then she She ran into the tiger head-on. She was brave and knew how to fight back since she was a child, but at this time her counterattack was useless. The tiger easily pushed her away and put his hand into her school uniform pants. She, she was frightened and angry, and stretched her neck Yelling, but it was all taped up, it sounded like a whimper. The old leopard started laughing, he was enjoying other people's struggle. I couldn't do anything, I yelled at them to stop, let them come at me, they laughed so hard more rampant.

"In front of me, they cut open her clothes with knives and raped her. When she was powerless to resist, they tore off her face and the tape that bound her hands and feet. They dragged her to a place where I could see clearly. Hanging my lower body, cutting her skin with a knife. I heard her say weakly, brother save me, brother save me..."

Nie Cheng choked up, clasped his hands, and pressed his thumb knuckles to his forehead, unable to speak any more.When he first started to tell the story, like an indifferent bystander, he deliberately pulled away his emotions, and recalled with difficulty in the way of picture memory, and he persisted until here.

Jiang Zhun didn't want him to be sad at all, and based on his understanding of Nie Cheng, the situation he showed now proved that he had reached his limit.He gently stroked his back, the body under his hand was trembling slightly due to muscle tension, he stroked the back of his head again, before he couldn't help but kiss him, Nie Cheng spoke again.

"Yingzi is very tenacious. She never gave up hope of survival. They tossed until the middle of the night. She could hardly make a sound, but her eyes were still clear. She didn't ask me to save her. She just... see Look at me." Nie Cheng said softly.

"Is she resenting you?"

"...No." Nie Cheng hesitated, "Actually, she should hate me, these people are out to revenge me. But she didn't, she was just very lethargic and calm. When they dragged her out, she had no energy Struggling, just looking up at me stubbornly, I think she is saying goodbye to me. I have forgotten this look for a long time, but now thinking about it, it is not so unbearable. This goodbye is the only part of the night between us. Communication." Nie Cheng was completely immersed in the memory, but relaxed a little, "So you know how much I hate them, that time I really almost, almost shot them directly."

"Don't be sorry, life in prison is more painful than killing them directly. They deserve it." After Jiang Zhun finished speaking, he suddenly figured out a doubt that had been accumulated for a long time, "Is it because of this that Team Shao is angry with you?"

"Well, there's also this reason. Master thinks I'm overreacting. He thinks men shouldn't be so fragile." Nie Cheng paused.

"He's really..." Seeing Nie Cheng's glance, Jiang Zhun immediately changed the complaint he was about to say to, "He is selfless."

Nie Cheng hesitated to speak, and said sullenly: "Actually, he cares about me." Then he sighed rather melancholy.

Only then did he realize that he had already narrated the most difficult part of what he could not repeat in Wei Yuan's office at that time.It was very difficult, but easier than imagined, and the big stone on his chest was lighter. He let out a breath and began to recall the details.

"Of the five thugs, the tiger is the most impatient, and the old leopard is violent. The other two look at them and act, even against their will, and will obey their arrangements. That Wang Guangde is special. The tiger and the old leopard want to attack me or insult me. When I was with him, he would step forward to stop him. He was more like the planner of the event, mastering every link, but he never ordered the tiger and the old leopard, and they sometimes did not obey his arrangements. They were like two power." Nie Cheng said.

"It's a pity that he committed suicide by drinking a bullet during the operation, otherwise we will definitely be able to dig out more inside information."

"Well, that's why I thought there might be a 'missing piece of the puzzle'. I considered that he might hate me for other cases, but I didn't see any connection between him or anyone close to him, most likely another Interest-related organizations and the group of people jointly retaliated, but after the case was closed, no one made the matter public or took over their plate to gain benefits. Moreover, Wang Guangde's actions were too rare and too arrogant. Painful. And the anger and resentment towards Tiger and Old Leopard that their leader, Laolong, had before his execution made me feel that they were instigated by others to act without their own interests.” Nie Cheng said.

"Is there someone else behind Wang Guangde?"

"Maybe. When he stopped them once, he said 'don't forget what you promised him'. I always thought that 'he' meant the old dragon, but now it seems that this person should not be the old dragon."

"Moreover, this person should not be a thug. I think he is anti-social. He enjoys the process of creating pain and also likes to taste the pain of others. He doesn't allow them to hurt you because he wants you to suffer... Is he always Watching us? Or taking advantage of the people around us watching us."

They looked at each other and thought of Wei Yuan and his three-page analysis at the same time.

"Is it the same person?" Nie Cheng asked.

"Probably."

"Then Wei Yuan and Wang Guangde are the same character?"

"It's different. Speaking of which, I've known him for a year and a half. He at least has professional ethics, and he killed Lu Xiao in order to go to jail. It can be seen that he has a desire to survive. Even if the person behind them is good at demagoguery, the spirit they received The degree of control is different." Jiang Zhun said.

"Well, when I go to Team Li tomorrow to check the situation, I have to find out the cause of his death."

As soon as Nie Cheng finished speaking, the room suddenly became pitch black. The two subconsciously tightened their bodies and listened to the movement in the room. After five seconds, they realized that the lamp was out of power.Nie Cheng recalled that he forgot to plug in the power when he got home today, and the battery ran out after using it all night.

Jiang Zhun laughed for a long time in the dark, and said, "Just right, go to sleep."

"Don't you still want to tell you the news from Wu Ze?"

"It's just a few sentences. I told you before that there was a dispute caused by traffic. The person involved went to the police station to scan his identity and found that he was a wanted criminal. He is a middleman in the drug trafficking chain. He helped us contact Shangjia for meritorious service. Shangjia He was very cunning. He changed the meeting address and postponed it. It took half a year before he agreed to meet with us. I was injured because of him, but at least he was arrested. Wu Ze and the others raided overnight. According to his answer, they speculated that he appeared on the drug trafficking road. Even if it wasn’t the one we arrested before, that group of people is indeed over. Now this one is buried deeper and more cunning. After the incident of that group of people, they withdrew from the city after hearing the news, creating a business that only that group of people in the city , let us relax our vigilance, I feel that the rumors have passed in the past few years, and I want to eat a big cake." Jiang Zhun said coldly.

Nie Cheng nodded in the dark, "I see, don't think about it yet, go to sleep."

The two said good night to each other, turned over and faced upwards. After a while, Jiang Zhun's breathing gradually deepened, and Nie Cheng turned sideways to face the window, watching the beam of light cast on the curtain by the car lights in the Yin community change from large to small. Disappeared as the car drove by.

The next morning, Nie Cheng went directly to the detention center to report to Li Mu.

"It's suicide." Li Mu's first words after seeing him went straight to the case.

Wei Yuan hanged himself, and the suspect who was detained in the same room as him is under interrogation.

"Has he met anyone recently?" Nie Cheng asked.

"Not recently, you were his last visitor." Li Mu said.

"Is his family here?"

"It was notified last night that his elder brother will arrange for his mother to arrive by coach. It will probably be in the afternoon. Go in, they still want to talk to you," Li Mu said.

Because Nie Cheng was the last person to visit Wei Yuan, the investigation team asked him about the situation while observing him.Nie Cheng told the truth about everything he knew, but he didn't mention anything about his connection with Wang Guangde and the drug case.Those were just his and Jiang Zhun's guesses, and Wei Yuan's death made him vigilant.

Wei Yuan can basically rule out committing suicide in fear of guilt. He must have committed suicide because of something new or being threatened. So how did he get the news?Calls and visits were ruled out, and only prison guards and other suspects had the opportunity to pass on messages to him.

The police information he had seen in the USB flash drive was always a heavy stone in his heart.

Forensic prosecutors, police officers from the detention center and He'an District Bureau worked non-stop for three days and three nights, but found no clues other than suicide.

Nie Cheng participated in both the interrogation and the discussion, and he didn't go home to follow along. Jiang Zhun handed it over to Zhang Jieming temporarily, so he didn't have to worry about it.

In the early morning of the fourth day of the incident, the sky was bright and the street lights had just been turned off. Nie Cheng was pale and went home with two dark circles under his eyes. He took off his coat and fell asleep on the sofa without even bothering to change his clothes.

When I opened my eyes again, I was covered with a blanket, and the clock on the TV was pointing to three o'clock in the afternoon.My head still hurts a bit. I have been transferred to the Rongguangli Police Station for two years. Although I have not had much room to develop my abilities, I have a regular schedule and can sleep well early even when I am on night shift occasionally. I haven’t survived like this for a long time.

"Are you awake?" Jiang Zhun asked, he was reading at the dining table, and heard the rustle of the sofa when he turned his head to check the time.

"Yeah." Nie Cheng pulled the blanket up to his nose, curled up on the sofa and didn't want to move.

"When to go back?"

"At night, don't worry." Nie Cheng slept for another two hours after speaking, and went to take a shower and change clothes after five o'clock.

Jiang Zhun got his wish and ordered takeaway, and the meal was served on time at six o'clock.

During the meal, he told Jiang Zhun the clues the investigation team had. Although the matter was not reported, since Wei Yuan's family was notified, it was not considered a secret.

Jiang Zhun suggested that they expand the scope of the investigation, don't focus all their attention on the detention center, and send someone from the psychological clinic to ask.Nie Cheng felt that it made sense, and when he returned to the investigation team at night, he suggested to Li Mu to expand the scope of the investigation, and Li Mu applied for permission to the higher authorities. Finally, the team leader agreed that they should ask Wei Yuan's friends and colleagues for information, but don't make a fuss first. Go search the clinic.

The next morning, Nie Cheng called Hu Xiaofei, and the two agreed to meet at a coffee shop near the clinic at noon.
