today's island

Tonight, the Daocheng TV Tower is like a huge neon light that will not go out, and the radiant light seems to be able to illuminate the entire night sky.

As the tallest landmark building, it has always been a must-see for tourists since the tourism industry of the island city was on the right track.But only knowledgeable people know that it is not only the symbol of Daocheng, but also the "mascot" of Daocheng.

Those who engage in real estate will more or less believe in feng shui. Although it was planned and built by the atheist Cheng Song, real estate developers who understand feng shui know that it is auspicious to have tall buildings in this place.

This auspicious high-rise building held a dinner tonight to celebrate the [-]th anniversary of its official opening. The date should have been earlier, but today is the day when the island city is classified as a key development area, and it is still an auspicious day, so today is finally fixed.

The time and place were right, and it was a legal gathering. All the invited guests joined in. Some government leaders and business owners who had participated in the building’s construction all gathered together to experience the sightseeing restaurant on the high-rise.

On such an important day, the secretary of the municipal party committee also said a few words. Cheng Song was supposed to be there, but he didn't show up. Only Cheng Mo came to cheer on him.

Of course, no one cared too much about an entertaining dinner. Cheng Song suddenly went on a business trip, so he still had to focus on work.

No one would be so stupid as to talk about important things here, they are all here to catch up on luck and contacts, catch up with old friends, or make new friends, and if anyone knows Cheng Mo, just say hello to him.

Although Cheng Mo came here on behalf of his father, he was a junior after all, so he went around to toast and listened to everyone's praise of his criminal police work and the outstanding performance of the special case team this year.

This is just a group building activity, everyone is joining in the fun, looking forward to the future of the island city, click to finish, and soon leave with a smile.

Only Lu Yuanzhe was dissatisfied, and met Cheng Mo downstairs, and quickly fled the political circle that he didn't really want to touch.

"Your father must have known that Director Tang was going to look for him, so he slipped away to other provinces to hide." He muttered.

"If he can hide from the first day of the junior high school but not the fifteenth day, if he wants to refuse, he will directly refuse, so he won't hide anywhere." Cheng Mo laughed.

Two days ago, Lu Yuanzhe finally submitted his investigation of all the murder cases in Daocheng in the past two years to Bureau Tang.

Sun Yan sorted it out for a full two weeks, and he read it even longer. After spending half a month, he finally made up a decent set of rhetoric, and planned to use Tang Wen again.

In his investigation, [-] government or former government personnel who could be related to the Yanjiu case have been attacked by Yanjiu, and it is necessary to take measures.

He knew he was a bit exaggerated, mainly to show the importance, and with Cheng Mo's words added, Director Tang paced back and forth in the office several times, and finally agreed, but he wanted to tell Cheng Song.

Then Cheng Song went on a business trip, just like running away.

"He is a person who puts efficiency first, and it is very abnormal to be able to run for two days. You can't hide from this bar?" Lu Yuanzhe rolled his eyes, still feeling that the business trip was quite sudden.

Cheng Mo didn't reply. He glanced back at the towering building and said, "Speaking of it...my dad has never been to this TV tower."

"Huh?" Lu Yuanzhe was taken aback for a moment.

"Really, I don't know if he has come here quietly, but in my impression, he has never entered this building." Cheng Mo recalled, frowning and searching for more than ten years of memory, but he did not remember his father. I have been to the TV Tower in Daocheng, "Only my brother and I have been here a few times, but he didn't stop him, maybe...afraid of heights?"

"He planned and built it all by himself, and he hasn't been here before?" Lu Yuanzhe couldn't help complaining, and frowned, "I'm afraid of heights and want to build skyscrapers? That's amazing."

This can be regarded as a conscience attraction in the island city, I am afraid that few locals will miss it.

·

Fortunately, Cheng Song came back two days later, and Tang Wen also met someone smoothly. At nine o'clock in the evening, he called Lu Yuanzhe and told him that it was done, but it was up to him to come alone.

"I'll go out for a while." Afraid of Tang Wen's repentance, Lu Yuanzhe told Cheng Mo, and immediately rushed back to the Public Security Bureau.

Fortunately, Tang Wen didn't regret it, and waited for him in the office at night with a stack of documents in his hand.

"Paper?" Lu Yuanzhe was stunned.

"Otherwise? Do you think this thing will be placed in the official criminal investigation record for everyone to pass on openly or secretly?" Tang Wen gave him a white look, "This is the list you want to see, and the rest can be authorized to you to go online. Look, you can finish reading this here, and don't disclose it to others, if something goes wrong, I will find you."

"Oh." He responded, and it is understandable how afraid these people are that Yan will come to their door.

This record is not too long. Everyone only briefly described what they did. No one wanted to record the gray and dirty work they did word by word. They all said as little as they could. It became a thin booklet.

But even so, Lu Yuanzhe also understands why this thing can't go online.To be honest, although they are all business dealings, not the murder and arson that they often come into contact with in criminal investigation, but the tricks are endless, and he wants to applaud after seeing it.

In recent years, the economic investigation team has been busier than them, as can be seen from this document, there is really no deep routine.

He turned halfway, and suddenly felt the horror of Cheng Song. If most of the actions in this were instructed by him, then he is also a genius.And the methods are quite cruel, cooperating with Yan's money-misappropriating company on real estate projects, if they say they turn their faces, they will turn their faces. If Lu Yuanzhe was the former boss of Yan, he would also be pissed to death by Cheng Song.

He didn't inherit much of the family's business. If Ding Chenyu read this part, he might be able to read a lot of essence.

Moreover, there are a lot of Cheng Song's subjective statements in it, stringing together so many clues, it's really the case, he is simply a reasoning genius.

There is a thin line between reasoning and crime. Thinking of this, he "tsk", and was glared at by Tang Wen.

"What are you doing?" Tang Wen looked at him dissatisfied.

"It's okay." He waved his hand immediately.

He has harvested a lot of anecdotes, but the case has not progressed at all. He has seen a few people in his report on this list, but some people have not been mentioned, and they have no reference value at all.

Especially the New Year's Day 12 years ago when Yan had already made a point of inquiry. He didn't mention a word. It seemed that nothing happened that day. Only a few routines were being implemented. These few people were not attacked by Yan.

It seems that Cheng Song and Tang Wen did not hide it intentionally, but it really has little to do with this secret file.I'm afraid Yan is inquiring about other things, but that matter is related to some people who have betrayed Yan before.

Tang Wen didn't urge him to read the document and saw it was twelve o'clock, but seeing that he closed it fruitlessly, he gave him a blank look: "I just said it's okay, you have to read it."

"You'll know if it's there after you read it." Lu Yuanzhe simply returned the folder. Although he couldn't remember all of it, he already had a general impression. As for the details, he didn't intend to, and he had no right to do it more than ten years later. Go after it again.

"What about the various cases of Yan? By the way, let me look at it today." He planned to see what kind of organization Yan was in more than ten years ago.

"Can't you watch it tomorrow?" Tang Wen yawned.

"Just watch it today. As the saying goes, everyone is here." He winked at Tang Wen with a flattering smile.

So Tang Wen authorized him the previous file permissions and asked him to go back to his office to look.

"Thank you Tang Bureau." He ran away in a hurry, wishing he could finish reading overnight.

Tang Wen was left behind with a sigh, not knowing what kind of turmoil would be caused if this matter was exposed.He is a traditional person, and he doesn't understand why Lu Yuanzhe and Cheng Mo are in a relationship, but now I hope that their love is stronger than gold, and don't create any barriers over this file.

·

Sitting in the office, Lu Yuanzhe couldn't wait to log into the internal system of the bureau, and opened the file that he had cared about for a long time.

It may indeed have a certain style of inheritance. Banquet is the same as it is now. It is not a carnival-type criminal organization with a particularly high frequency of crimes, but in the island city that has not been on the right track before, they are much more rampant than they are now.

Twenty years ago, before Daocheng started, Yan was already a dark and evil force with legends on the surface.Although no one knows exactly how far it has penetrated, many cases have been claimed unsolicited.

The traces of their struggle with the official forces at that time were very obvious. Many cases involved multiple forces. Lu Yuanzhe was still young at that time and had no idea what a small political group was. Government officials who want to sweep them away.

They are a drug gang, so they also involved a major sacrifice of the anti-drug team, which is indeed very difficult.Several relatively large cases include: the poisoning case, the removal of insider activities, the case of a large number of minors being held hostage, and the bus bombing case 14 years ago.

Lu Yuanzhe tended that apart from having a boss with a strong desire for crime who was in the same line as the current young master, he was still deliberately making big troubles, trying to intimidate the police and the government.

He flipped through each case one by one, and when he opened the first case, he saw Yan's former boss—Qiu Mingcheng, who was called Eagle in the street.

He really fits everyone's imagination of a gangster, with a crew cut, tall and strong, and sharp eyes.But it's a bit out of Lu Yuanzhe's imagination, the boss of the banquet likes to play threats of you coming and going, let him profile, to be more feminine.

But it didn't stop him from reading. In addition to thugs, this organization also has many leaders.These are in line with his imagination, there are sleek, non-smiling, and women, and the total number of people involved is hundreds of people, not counting one foot in, and the scale is much larger than what they imagined now.

So at that time, there was really a large-scale gun battle, and the combat effectiveness of the opponent was still very impressive. The special police team from other places came to support it twice.

Lu Yuanzhe continued to scroll down, and finally turned to the bus bombing case 14 years ago.

This is the last large-scale crime committed by Yan, because of this case, the police have touched one of their strongholds.After a stronghold was inspected, although the loss was not large, it was restrained a lot.

The case happened in the service area near the Daocheng Sea-Crossing Bridge, a place just entering the outskirts of Daocheng.At that time, a leadership group of Daocheng went out to study and came back by car. The bus had some problems on the way, stopped in the service area, and was attacked by Yan.Also involved was another tour bus, as well as some private cars.

Yan directly threw the explosives into the car, and the two buses exploded on the spot.

There was only one survivor——Cheng Mo.

He held his breath briefly on this line, and it took him a long time to turn the page.

He remembered that the hospital he lived in was indeed very close to the sea-crossing bridge.

·

Judging from the photos and case records, it was indeed a doomsday scene. In winter, the island city was blowing with strong winds and billowing thick smoke, covering most of the toll booths.

The bus had an accident first. Hearing the explosion, everyone moved outside. Only Cheng Mo's bathroom door was stuck and he couldn't get out immediately.

As the only survivor, only he left a statement——

After finally unlocking the door lock of the washroom, he heard gunshots, subconsciously hid in the innermost utility room, locked the door, and then a staff member ran in, because he didn't open the door, he chose the one next door. compartment.

Then the people from the banquet came in, found the staff member and shot him dead, and kicked away the utility room where Cheng Mo was. He hid behind a pile of brooms and sundries, and was not immediately discovered due to his small size. .

Originally, the other party wanted to search, but because of the shooting at the next compartment, the water pipe burst, so he couldn't pick up the debris, and Cheng Mo escaped like this.

A psychiatrist was present, and Cheng Mo's account was quite detailed, including the crying outside, and a child about his age looking for someone like playing hide-and-seek.

Lu Yuanzhe could imagine that kind of horror. No wonder Cheng Mo left behind a deep childhood shadow, and he was still being awakened after more than ten years.

Cheng Mo's memory was very clear. He remembered that the police arrived three or ten minutes later and searched him out of the utility room.

When he came out, the fire had already been extinguished, and the two buses were almost burnt to empty shells, and the people who ran out of the bus were hit critically by bullets.In the end, including Cheng Mo's mother, all 75 people died. Cheng Mo's mother survived in the hospital for two weeks, and she was counted as one of the last few people who died.

Most of the leaders who died were Cheng Song's political opponents. At that time, the case was thoroughly investigated in the political circle around him, but not only was there no result, Cheng Song also ended the banquet himself.

The matter passed like this, and only Tang Wen, who recorded Cheng Mo's confession, and Duan Qunfan, a psychiatrist, knew that Cheng Mo also confessed a piece of his own "secret".This page of records lay quietly in the folder, and it was only after 14 years that Lu Yuanzhe dug it out for inspection.

The tourist bus was not supposed to stop at the service area in the urban area, but Cheng Mo proposed to go to the toilet. Everyone was unwilling to embarrass the children, and most of them expressed their understanding, so they accidentally got involved in this case.

Lu Yuanzhe did not expect such a thing, and stared at this page of documents for a long time in surprise.There are also recordings at that time in the folder, and important parts have been intercepted, which are basically consistent with the written records.

At the age of 9, Cheng Mo has a shyness and immaturity that he does not have now. He has not had a voice change period, and his voice sounds cute and crisp.He didn't listen to the psychiatrist and Tang Wen, and asked the police to write down this paragraph no matter what.

No wonder Duan Qunfan said that Cheng Mo had a strong sense of guilt.He thought it was his fault and he should be arrested.

This voice is really lovely, but Lu Yuanzhe is not in the mood to appreciate it. At this time, Cheng Mo feels more like a single-parent family, much more restrained, and he is still in the hesitation period when his relatives are dying. Compared with the pain of losing his mother, his tone is full Overwhelmed and scared.

He spoke very clearly, and quickly explained everything he knew. If Cheng Song hadn't taken him away at that time, it sounded like an adult had taught him.

He went home after reading this passage, and he can put the rest aside. He didn't want Cheng Mo to be alone at home, waiting quietly for him to read his "sinful past".

He wanted to tell Cheng Mo that it wasn't his fault, it was just a coincidence, no matter what the crime was, it was the criminal's fault, why should it be blamed on a child?

Tang Wen probably didn't want Cheng Mo to face such a situation, so he locked this file, not wanting others to hurt Cheng Mo again.

He thanked Bureau Tang in his heart and drove home.As soon as he entered the door, he saw Cheng Moduan sitting on the sofa waiting for him, just like when he was sitting in the passenger seat, with his hands on his knees, like a primary school student on a spring outing.

"Have you seen it all?" Cheng Mo asked him. For a moment, he seemed to see the 9-year-old Cheng Mo, with a look of confusion on his face.

"Yeah." He sat down, hugged Cheng Mo into his arms, and said firmly, "It's not your fault."

It doesn't matter what other people think. In his heart, this is not a crime that the victim should bear.
