Evil and punishment [criminal investigation]

The fire cloud in mid-air illuminated the entire space, black smoke billowed up, and the heat wave that hit their faces made them have to hide behind the rocks, and the temporary deafness prevented them from hearing instructions.

Nie Cheng and the SWAT captain yelled and retreated, pulling them away, and the persistent tinnitus was like someone scratching the blackboard with their nails in their minds, making them want to vomit.

After the evacuation, Nie Cheng contacted 119, but couldn't hear what the other side was saying at all, and reported his location on his own. Jiang Zhun stopped him, indicating that he had already called the fire alarm.

After the fire engine arrived, it took four to ten minutes to spray the fire before it was extinguished.

The scene was handed over to the fire brigade, and their criminal investigation detachment and special police team had nothing to do.

When they returned to the urban area, they went to the ENT department for a check-up, and after leaving the hospital, they all went back to the branch office for a meeting.

There was a new report on the desk in the office of the captain of the Criminal Investigation Section, which was the latest progress of the Technical Investigation Section.

They confirmed that before and after Wei Yuan's case, Han Qishan remitted two sums of money to Zhao Xueyi's bank account, presumably as an advance payment and a final payment.

Before and after the Yu Zixuan case, Han Le'an withdrew two sums of cash from the bank.In addition, monitoring and tracking his car confirmed that he had been to Zhao Xueyi himself, and it was on the day Nie Cheng left Yu Zixuan's publishing house.An hour before Han Le'an arrived at Zhao Xueyi's house, Zhao Xueyi brought Qiaodun to the apartment. After Han Le'an entered the cave, Zhao Xueyi soon appeared at the door. According to the monitoring in the building, the two met outside the elevator on the first floor, and Zhao Xueyi gave him the room key. Fifteen minutes later, Zhao Xueyi came back with a cigarette in his mouth.

This shows that Qiao pier lied twice in his confession about sex.

Although they are all indirect evidence, they can basically confirm the fact that Han Qishan and Han Le'an had sex.

Most confusing of all, why would they do this?

Jiang Zhun had a speculation: "Wei Yuan borrowed money from Han Qishan to repay the loan, and he knew something about his drug trafficking. The two checked each other, but he killed someone inexplicably and was caught by the police. Da's finger threatened him to commit suicide by threatening his family's safety. Han Le'an's motive may have nothing to do with the Wei Yuan case itself. When discussing the case in the detention center, there were many people with mixed eyes. He learned that Nie Cheng wanted to find Yu Zixuan to understand the situation, so he acted first. It is purely for revenge on Nie Cheng, making it more difficult to detect."

Everyone accepted his speculation, but there were still three unsolved mysteries: why Wei Yuan killed Lu Xiao, Han Le'an's revenge on Nie Cheng was too cruel and beyond the necessary limit, and why Han Le'an committed suicide.

However, they are not particularly concerned about the issue of motives. Some people will kill for a few dollars, and some will kill for a single sentence. It is the work of the follow-up prosecution to find out the criminal's motives for killing and social problems.It is the task of the public security to collect evidence and make them accept sanctions.

Therefore, what depressed the case investigators the most was that Wei Yuan, Han Qishan, and Han Le'an escaped legal punishment because of their deaths, and their accomplice Zhao Xueyi was at large.

The only thing to be confirmed right now is whether the murderer of Han Qishan was Han Le'an or Han Leyang.

Firefighters found Han Le'an's leg bones at the explosion site, and the DNA did not match the ones in Han Qishan's nails, but there was insufficient evidence to sue Han Leyang.So no matter who killed Han Qishan between the two brothers, this case can only be shelved for the time being.

The task force met for the last time and discussed the issue again, and they still hope to reach at least a conclusion internally.

Because Nie Cheng was entrusted by Fang Xiaoshan, he was very concerned about this matter. After running around for a few days, he sorted out a conjecture:

"I tend to think that the murderer is Han Le'an. On the one hand, he escaped from the winery after Han Qishan's death. Before he died, he said that he had done something wrong and that it was too late. This is the murderer's reaction; The explanation. Judging from the medical records found in the bedroom of Han Le’an in the winery, he suffered from leukemia before. Because he has been treated in private hospitals and abroad, few people know about it. I chatted with Han Leyang several times, and also in major hospitals After verification, it can be proved that Han Leyang performed a bone marrow transplant on Han Le'an two years ago, and this is also one of the main conflicts between the two brothers.

"After bone marrow transplantation, the recipient's blood system DNA will change, but other tissues will not. This can explain the inconsistency between the DNA in Han Qishan's fingernails and his leg bones if Han Le'an is the murderer."

The task force adopted Nie Cheng's point of view and included speculation in the report. Wei Yuan's suicide case, Yu Zixuan's extermination case, and Han Qishan's murder case were declared closed based on the existing evidence, and the task force was officially disbanded.

After the case was closed, Nie Cheng asked Tang Bureau for a three-day long vacation for the entire criminal investigation department, and it was enough to leave one person on duty every day.

After getting off work the day before the holiday, Nie Chengcheng kept his promise to treat guests, and invited the whole team to eat the most expensive seafood buffet in the city.

Everyone cheered, and after the cheers, they realized that this was a reunion banquet and a celebration banquet combined into one, which didn't seem to take much advantage of Team Nie.They even ate and booed, and played until the store closed at two o'clock in the morning.

Jiang Zhun didn't drink all the time, not only to be able to drive back, but also to talk to Nie Cheng after returning.

They agreed that after the case was over, they would talk about the problems between the two of them.

As a result, after arriving home, Jiang Zhun himself was too sleepy to keep his eyes open. The exhaustion of mental and physical energy and the fatigue after stress made him just want to rest.

The two of them didn't bother to talk, they made the bed, took the quilt, took a bath and went to bed with a tacit understanding.

I slept until 10 o'clock the next day, and it was three poles in the sun.

Actually still sleepy, but with some energy, Jiang Zhun had something on his mind, and couldn't fall asleep when he opened his eyes. He raised his head and looked at Nie Cheng. He was breathing deeply and was still in a deep sleep.

Jiang Zhun looked at it for a while, then got up to wash and make breakfast.

Nie Cheng was still awake at 11, so Jiang Zhun went to call him, "Get up and eat something."

Nie Cheng turned over, facing down, with his arms covering his ears, in a posture of "don't listen, don't listen, bastard chant sutras".

Jiang Zhun laughed beside him for a long time, and gave up calling him.

Twenty minutes later, Nie Cheng was so hungry that he got up to find something to eat.

After eating two sandwiches and a large glass of milk, Nie Cheng's eyes became clearer.

Jiang Zhun sat opposite him drinking coffee, "Han Leyang, what are you going to do?"

"Nothing to do. He is now in a children's welfare home. Let's see if anyone in his family can adopt him."

"Fang Xiaoshan gave you custody."

"The people's police don't cure all diseases. My own life is still in a mess. How can I be responsible for a child. But I plan to take him to Hu Xiaofei's place for a visit in the next two days, and I also want to thank her for her help in person. By the way, I still Wanting to bring Wei Yuejun along to help the children with psychological counseling, Hu Xiaofei asked me to introduce clients to her twice, killing two birds with one stone. Sigh, don't wait until the case is over, there are still many things to come." Nie Cheng sighed.

Jiang Zhun's eyelids twitched, why did he feel that there was something in his words, and asked, "What else?"

"I want to check Han Le'an's suicide device. He probably can't make it himself, but it's secondary. The most important thing is to find out where Han Qishan's drugs come from."

"If the investigation continues like this, there will be no day for closing the case."

"There's nothing he can do about a crime of this scale." Nie Cheng stretched his legs, puffed up his chest, and stretched a little.

Jiang Zhun realized that Nie Cheng was not doing Tai Chi with him, and indeed he had forgotten what happened before, so he put down the mug and said, "We said that after the case is over, we will talk about the issues between you and me."

Nie Cheng's movements froze, his expression became serious, and there was a trace of hesitation in his tone: "Yes, yes."

"My thoughts are very simple and have never changed. I love you and hope you can be my partner." Jiang Zhun confessed again.

"I know, I've always known, I'm very happy and grateful, but my thoughts are a bit complicated." Nie Cheng frowned, wondering why.

"Is it because of Yingzi?"

"No, the principal culprit has been brought to justice. After these recent incidents, I have slowly returned to the previous state, and I have not tortured myself for this matter. But I... I seem to have never been ready to be a partner with anyone."

"Have you really come out yet?"

"Really." Nie Cheng said decisively.

Jiang Zhun pursed his lips. He warned himself that the human heart is not a machine, and emotions are not clear-cut, but he still couldn't help but feel angry. He forced himself to calm down, and asked in a long voice: "There is something--I have always wanted to ask You, what do you mean by that sentence in the hospital two and a half years ago, why do you think Yingzi's accident is retribution?"

Nie Cheng's pupils narrowed sharply, and he stood up abruptly, the sound of the chair rubbing against the floor tiles was extremely ear-piercing.

He said in a hoarse voice, "Did I say that?"

Jiang Zhun walked up to him slowly, looked at the panic in his eyes, and said calmly: "Yes, your consciousness was not so clear at that time, maybe you don't remember, do you think this is a thought hidden in your heart? What do you think it's retribution for, because you fell in love with the same sex and had sex with me?"

Nie Cheng opened his mouth several times, but the words got stuck in his throat and he couldn't make a sound.

"You feel like you planted a poisonous seed in your heart, so it can't bear fruit, do you? I can see your struggle from your attitude towards Shao Ju. I never want to force you, but I ask myself, I can't Let go. How can I actually be with you without being so direct and open?"

"Aren't we really together now?"

"I'm not sure."

Nie Cheng lowered his eyelids and said with difficulty: "You misunderstood, my thoughts have nothing to do with Yingzi's matter. Before my mother died, I swore in front of her that I would never be a policeman. I lied to her. I feel guilty, I feel sorry for her. Before I met you, I have always been happy with the difficulties in my life, and I deserved it. But what happened to Yingzi just made me feel deeply Feel like, I'm putting people around me in danger. I don't want you in danger."

Jiang Zhun was stunned for a while, then said: "Don't confuse these things, your thinking is a bit messy. I thought you believed in science... My danger comes from my profession, not from you. I don't want you to bear these burdens." .” He thought for a while and affirmed, “Your thinking is a bit messy.”

Nie Cheng sat down again, with his thumbs resting on his temples, "I know, I haven't figured it out, maybe I can't figure it out in my life. This is not a matter of science or not. I watched my father, mother, and sister die one after another. I really don't feel like I can have this kind of intimacy with anyone anymore, but... I can't tell, I love you and want to be with you, but I don't want to be your partner."

Jiang Zhun's face sank, he took two deep breaths, let himself relax, knelt down on one knee in front of Nie Cheng, held his hand, and said: "Some things are not clear, but I haven't made a decision yet, I... I Can’t accept specious things, it will always bother me. But I don’t think you’re coming out of the Yingzi thing like you said, but like a more serious PTSD, you need time. We can wait.”

Jiang Zhun suppressed the sadness and anger in his heart, and slowly withdrew his hand.
