Mystery Tracker 2

December 8, 29:22.

City S, Provincial Public Security Bureau.

Shen Yan and Cheng Jinsong respectively received calls from Bureau Wang at around ten o'clock in the evening, informing them to come to the provincial office immediately.Both of them still remembered that the last time they were called to a meeting overnight like this was because a large amount of drugs were found in H City, which led to Wei Yuan's case.However, neither of them expected that the news this time was even more shocking than the last time.

"This afternoon, when the criminal investigation team of the Public Security Bureau of H City was investigating a case of poisoning and wounding, it encountered an ambush by a suspect." Jin Xuebing, director of the Criminal Investigation Bureau of the Provincial Public Security Bureau, said seriously, "The suspect was buried in their hiding place. A large amount of explosives, when the criminal investigation team went in for inspection, they encountered an explosion..."

"Explosion?!" Both Cheng and Chen changed their faces when they heard it. Shen Yan couldn't help but stepped forward and asked, "How are they? Are they injured?"

Director Jin knew that Shen Yan had worked in City H before, he took a deep look at Shen Yan, and said slowly: "They went to nine people together with witnesses, four of them died on the spot, and one of the other four was seriously injured. They are relatively serious, and they are not out of danger yet. Two others also suffered minor injuries of varying degrees, and only one person was standing relatively far with the witness at that time, and was not seriously injured..."

Shen Yan's body trembled easily, and his face turned pale instantly.

Cheng Jinsong could understand Shen Yan's mood very well at the moment, but it was inconvenient to do anything in front of Jin Ju and Wang Ju, so he took over the conversation and asked Director Jin: "Ju Jin, what happened in detail, do you know now?" ?”

Director Jin nodded slightly: "About a week ago, a director of the Procuratorate of City H was poisoned at the airport. Fortunately, the rescue was timely, so the victim's life was not in danger. After the criminal investigation team of the city bureau took over the case, they identified the suspect based on the airport surveillance video. Later, according to the clues of the witnesses, we found out the hiding place of the suspect, which was in a private house on the outskirts of City H. Captain Zhou took people to the private house to investigate, but shortly after they entered the private house, the house exploded."

"Is someone using the remote control?" Cheng Jinsong asked with a frown.

"It's not clear yet." Chief Jin shook his head, "Several people at the scene are still awake, and the police officers outside can only confirm that there were two explosions. The car outside the bungalow. In short, the murderer ambushed with a lot of explosives, obviously trying to blow up everyone." Seeing Cheng and Chen's frowns tightly, Chief Jin continued: "And before the explosion happened A captain of the local police station who went with them made a call to the station, saying that a large number of stalking and secretly photographed photos of various agencies and departments in H City were found in the suspect’s residence, and he suspected that they might carry out terrorist activities. The policeman who was not injured The officials also confirmed this statement, and said that Captain Zhou called everyone in for this reason."

"That is to say, the suspects are designed, just waiting for them to fit into the set." Shen Yan said, the hands beside him clenched into fists.

"I'm afraid there are more problems than this." Director Jin shook his head, "According to the phone call at that time, there were a lot of photos secretly taken in the house, and the people and cars captured were all important personnel from various departments, so we are worried that the murderer I'm afraid it's not just a set-up. Especially now that the casualties in City H are serious, if something happens at this time, City H is likely to be in trouble."

Cheng Jinsong and Shen Yan understood the meaning of Jin Ju's words. Sure enough, Jin Ju continued: "So we plan to deploy police forces from several nearby cities to reinforce City H. On the one hand, we must catch those who poisoned and caused the bombing as soon as possible." , on the other hand, we need to increase the security of the city, especially the government agencies, to prevent more serious incidents from happening." Having said this, he looked at Shen Yan, "Shen Yan, you have worked in the Municipal Bureau of H City for several years. , I am quite familiar with the situation over there, and we have cooperated with them last year. The criminal investigation team of City H suffered heavy casualties in the explosion. Bureau Shao called me just now and asked you to help me by name; as for Xiao Cheng, "He He turned his attention to Cheng Jinsong again, "their deputy captain in charge of technology died in the explosion, and the technology is also lacking a backbone, so I just discussed with Wang Ju, and I plan to let the two of you go and take charge of it." Case investigation over there."

After hearing Jin Ju's words, Cheng and Chen looked at Wang Ju at the same time. Wang Ju nodded and said, "There is indeed a shortage of manpower in City H right now, so you should go over and help. Fortunately, you also went there last year. I also understand the situation over there." Then, he looked at the two of them separately, and made specific arrangements: "They have lost a lot of personnel this time, especially in the field, so Shen Yan, you pick two people from your team , and go there with you. As for the technical side, their staff is fairly well-organized, Jin Song, go there first, and transfer people from here if necessary."

"Okay." The two nodded.

"After the two of you pass by, you will be mainly responsible for arresting the suspects," Jin Ju continued, "we will dispatch forces from C City and D City to take charge of the security work of each agency. You two will go back and prepare Get ready to leave tomorrow morning."

"Yes!"

Leaving aside the busyness of the night, Shen Yan, Cheng Jinsong, Jiang Li, and Qin Kai were already sitting in the car bound for H City after five o'clock the next morning.Taking advantage of the driving time, Shen Yan introduced the news he got from last night to this morning to several people in detail. "...The latest news is that Captain Zhou Chengang has woken up early this morning, and another slightly injured police officer has also undergone surgery. We will go to the hospital after arriving in City H in a while, and ask the two of them what happened at that time. Then we'll go to the scene."

"it is good."

At 1:[-] in the morning, the No.[-] civilian hospital in H City.

Zhou Chengang, who was lying on the hospital bed, had already woken up at this moment.His upper body was slightly injured, except for the scorched hair and a few minor abrasions, there were almost no traces of the explosion.However, when their eyes moved down, the four of them were silent, because even through the sheet, everyone could clearly see that the two legs under the sheet were no longer the same length...

Zhou Chen just noticed the eyes of several people, and he said lightly: "I saw it yesterday, and the doctor said that the injury was too serious to save. He also told me that I am the greatest luck if I can save my life." , Zhou Chengang picked the corner of his mouth in self-deprecating manner, and said to himself: "Oh, lucky..."

Shen Yan and Cheng Jinsong looked at each other, and couldn't bear it for a while.For a person like Zhou Chengang, the pain of losing a leg is probably no less painful than death.

Shen Yan hesitated for a moment, and said, "The province arranged for a few of us to come over and continue to investigate the whole case. When you think it's okay, we need to make a record for you..."

"I'll do it now," Zhou Chengang interrupted Shen Yan, "do it early, lest I forget something."

In fact, Shen Yan also hoped to make a record earlier. Seeing that Zhou Chengang was in good spirits, he nodded.

"Tell us what happened yesterday."

Therefore, Zhou Chengang recounted all the events of yesterday—from finding the taxi driver, to telling him where the suspect was hiding, to the whole process after several people entered the bungalow. "...A few of the photos posted on the wall at that time were circled by them with a red pen, and the others could be seen clearly. Only the tallest one was blocked by other photos, and the photos taken could not be seen. What exactly is it. So I walked over to see who was in that photo. But just after I took two steps, I felt the floor tiles sinking under my feet..." At this point, Zhou Chen just paused unconsciously A moment, but he quickly continued: "Then I heard someone yelling 'be careful' and I was thrown down, and then the explosion happened..."

The details that Zhou Chengang narrated were unknown to everyone before.Shen Yan couldn't help asking: "What are those photos taken, do you still remember?"

"The city government, the Public Security Bureau, the procuratorate, the customs building, the court..." Zhou Chengang counted, "Anyway, the public security bureau, they have taken pictures of everything."

"Are you sure those were taken secretly by the murderer, and not modified from photos on the Internet?" Cheng Jinsong couldn't help but interjected.

Zhou Chen just took a look at Cheng Jinsong, and seemed a little displeased with his doubts about his professional ability, but he didn't say anything too rude, he just said lightly: "The subway is being repaired outside the Public Security Bureau, and it was just surrounded last week. Photo I even took pictures of this."

Cheng Jinsong nodded and wrote this down in his notebook.

Shen Yan then asked: "Where are those people circled in red? Who are they?"

"Director Chen Dong of the Municipal Procuratorate, Director Shao, Team Wang of the Customs Anti-smuggling Team, I missed the last one."

Shen Yan didn't expect it to be these people, and there was a trace of surprise in his eyes.He watched Qin Kai write down all these contents completely, and then continued to ask: "Based on your feeling, do you think the murderer took these photos simply to lure you into the trap, or will they have the next move?"

"I think they may have the next move." Zhou Chengang answered without hesitation.

"why?"

"Intuition." Zhou Chengang said.He paused and explained further: "As soon as I entered the room, I felt that this group of people was not simple. Their photos were taken professionally, and they took so many places without being noticed. It’s not something ordinary people can do. Also, the person they photographed is at least the person in charge of the department. If they don’t know the situation, can they shoot so accurately? And the bomb is definitely a pressure-triggered one. The bastards have the technology and equipment, I can't believe they took pictures of that wall just to fool us."

Zhou Chengang's analysis made sense, and Shen Yan agreed with it.He nodded and said, "Okay, I see. We're going to see the scene next, so you can take a good rest."

Zhou Chengang didn't speak any more.Shen Yan regarded him as acquiescing, and motioned for several people to go out.However, just as he was about to walk to the door, he suddenly heard Zhou Chengang speak again: "Captain Shen,"

"Huh?" Shen Yan turned around, and the others also stopped.

"I want to have a few words with you alone." Zhou Chengang said.

Several other people looked at Shen Yan with a little surprise, Shen Yan and Cheng Jinsong looked at each other, then turned around and nodded to Zhou Chengang: "Okay."

The others withdrew, and only Zhou Chengang and Shen Yan were left in the room.

"Is it the province's intention or the Shao Bureau's intention that you come here?" Zhou Chengang said lightly, his tone indiscriminate between joy and anger.

Shen Yan paused for a moment, and said truthfully: "It's the province's idea, and it's also Shao Bureau's proposal."

Zhou Chengang nodded lightly: "The arrangement in the province is good. If I wake up, I will tell Shao Ju."

Hearing Zhou Chengang's words, Shen Yan was a little surprised - in his memory, he and Zhou Chengang did not get along happily.Shen Yan can still remember how when Jiang Jiandong had an accident, when he met Zhou Chengang for the first time in the autopsy room, how the other party "invited" them out with a dark face and a businesslike attitude.After the joint case handling, Zhou didn't give himself a good look - of course, there was a reason why they went to investigate each other, but even without this, Shen Yan didn't think that Zhou Chengang would do him any good perception.

Shen Yan didn't answer, and Zhou Chengang didn't seem surprised, he continued to say, "Shen Yan, to be honest, I don't like you very much. When I was transferred to the Municipal Bureau, you, the main team, were transferred away. It is said that the deputy team resigned because of another problem. The rest of the team were either silent or too thin to stay up all night. At that time, I thought, how do you become the captain? How do you lead a team? Become this kind of virtue?!... But the few people left at that time still missed you all day long, I heard them say several times behind my back, 'What if Brother Yan is still there'..." Seeing Shen Yan was a little embarrassed The corner of Zhou Chengang’s mouth twitched slightly, and he seemed to be laughing at himself, and then he continued, “After Jiang Jiandong had an accident, you brought someone over and said that there was an insider in our bureau, and I bothered you even more. But later After checking, I found out that you didn't come back to make trouble on purpose. Moreover, I found that your ability to solve cases is really not bad." Having said that, he looked at Shen Yan, "This time, after all, it was my fault. Wrong. If I hadn't been too careless, I wouldn't have fallen for the suspect's trap, and those brothers wouldn't have died..." At this point, Zhou Chen just gave a wry smile, "Actually, I'm the one who deserves to be damned..."

It was the first time for Shen Yan to see a painful expression on Zhou Chengang's face—to be honest, Shen Yan was not without resentment towards Zhou Chengang when he learned the general situation from Jin Ju yesterday.Among the four people who died, three were Shen Yan's former team members. If Zhou Chengang hadn't made a hasty decision, they would not have sacrificed.However, today, when he learned the details of the incident, especially when he saw Zhou Chengang lying on the hospital bed, Shen Yan had no hatred in his heart, only sympathy and regret.The dead are dead, but the living will always bear the guilt of the dead.What is even more cruel is that Zhou Chen has just lost a leg. He will no longer be able to serve as a criminal policeman, and he will never be able to rely on his own strength to catch the murderer and avenge the dead...

How unfortunate, how sad.

Just when Shen Yan wanted to comfort him, Zhou Chengang suddenly sat up straight. He looked at Shen Yan and said with an extremely solemn expression: "Shen Yan, you promise me one thing."

"You said."

"We must catch those bastards and avenge the dead brothers!"

Shen Yan nodded, and replied with the same solemn tone: "I promise you."

With Shen Yan's assurance, Zhou Chen just felt relieved, he relaxed and lay back on the bed unbearably.

It was only then that Shen Yan remembered that Zhou Chengang had just undergone an operation. He hurriedly helped Zhou Chengang lie down, and then said, "Don't think too much, just rest well. We still need your help for the follow-up investigation."

Zhou Chen just closed his eyes, put a hand on his eyebrows, and nodded feebly.

Shen Yan nodded and left the room.Zhou Chengang has maintained the posture just now, but there is a line of tears overflowing from the eyes under the back of the hand.
