slip through the net [criminal investigation]

"Brother is a policeman? I've been retired for more than ten years. Why, is there any old case you want to find me?"

As soon as he heard this, he knew he had found the right person, nodded repeatedly, and shook hands with Lao Fang: "Yes, yes, yes, my name is Xie Lin, the deputy captain of the Criminal Investigation Detachment of Lancheng City Bureau."

"Deputy captain of criminal investigation? Can't tell. Has your chief retired yet?"

Fang Weimin moved a rock for him to sit on, put the towel around his neck under his buttocks, and first stuffed him with a large handful of fresh dates, "Come here, try it first, grow it yourself, talk while eating. "

"Director? Are you talking about our former bureau? He was transferred to the next province to become an official about ten years ago, and now our bureau chief is Chen Qiang."

"Chen Qiang? We were on the same team back then."

"Really?"

"Really. He was transferred from the anti-narcotics brigade after being injured a little bit. He is arrogant and arrogant. Those who do anti-drugs look down on us who do criminal investigation. His temper is really stinking. , I made him submissive within a few months, but I didn't expect that he would be chosen to succeed in the end."

Xie Lin was amused: "What else is there? Old Yingju's son, Yingcheng, do you have any impression? He is my captain now, working under Chen Ju."

"Apply? Hey, this kid!"

"what happened?"

"I saw it when I was a child. It looks like a police officer. It was carved out of the same mold. I knew at that time that this kid would definitely be a policeman in the future. He was born with this material. When he was so big..."

Fang Weimin stretched out his hand to measure his height, and tapped it on his knee, "I even hugged him. But I didn't often bring the child here, and I haven't seen him since I grew up. By the way, look I, as soon as I chat, I forget about it, you came to find me today, what is the matter?"

Xie Lin also forgot about it, and quickly said "Oh": "I really have an old case with you today."

"What case?"

Although these dates didn't look very good-looking, they were indeed much sweeter than those sold in the market. He gnawed on one before saying, "Uncle Fang, I'm here this time to ask about your last case before retirement, that... ..."

"Heaven knows the religion."

"Yes. It's been more than ten years. Uncle Fang still remembers it so clearly?"

He smiled and nodded: "Who is a policeman who doesn't have a case that he can't let go of? What about the 4.24 evil? Religion case, the 3.07 extraordinarily large arson case, they are all in my heart. This case happens to be my last case. Of course I remember it." It’s clearer. Why, the Tianzhishen Sect has emerged again?”

Xie Lin nodded: "I received a report last night that an informant died. He was an undercover agent in this God's Sect. He died like no one else. We searched the old files and found that you led the case 11 years ago. , so come back and ask, did you miss a goal back then?"

He took out a pack of cigarettes from his jacket pocket to smoke, sighed and had a complicated expression on his face: "Yes, the code name is Zuo Guardian, and he ran away without showing his face. That's why I can't let go of this case." s reason.

Because at that time, I happened to be retiring soon, and I was not in good health. The bureau would definitely not let me postpone my retirement, and I wanted to close this case in my hands.So...to act too hastily, and instead startled the snake, which made people run away. "

"Then is it possible that this Zuo protector has been in Lancheng?"

He shook his head: "Then I don't know. This case was mainly due to the uproar back then, and the people's hearts were unstable, so immediately after the operation ended, some newspaper interviews were arranged and reported widely, so that the public thought that all the criminals were brought to justice. Only then did the people's hearts stabilize.

Later, I retired. At the beginning, I couldn’t let go of this concern. I was still checking after I retired. I really didn’t find anything. After a long time, I had to give up. "

"Then, do you know anything else about this Tianzhi God Sect?"

"Back then, the neighboring province came to us for a joint operation. It was they who first found a referrer. What is the name of this person? Let me think about it... called Zhu Xiufang, yes, that's the name.

She is from our Lancheng, and she set up a line to let this left guardian come to develop in Lancheng. As for us, we kept an eye on this Zhu Xiufang for half a year, and hung up everyone who came into contact with her.

These little bosses would choose a different place to gather for meetings every week. According to the clues we have, this place should be legally designated by the Zuo Guardian, but we have never been able to figure out which one is the Zuo Guardian.

At the time of action, I originally wanted to take it back and interrogate it slowly, but who knew that they had two rooms for one meeting, and when we took the meeting place, we found out that there was another room next door, and the left protector was next door, so he ran away early and disappeared. "

"This... how did it happen? Could it be that they have been staring at each other for so long, but their identities have not been verified? And... didn't they find out before that they would divide the rooms into two?

Didn't clear the scene when the arrest operation started?Even if the scene is cleared, it won't be possible to find another room, right? "

Fang Weimin took another puff of cigarette: "Could it be that I was eager for quick success back then? We mainly followed Zhu Xiufang, and then divided up our staff to follow those who had contact with her one by one to verify their identities, but anyone who appeared by her side People, we are all on the number one by one.

But this gang has a strong sense of anti-investigation. There are about 12 to [-] leaders among them. Every time they come to a meeting, there are not all of them, and they are not busy. They just stay at home. People call and report the results of the meeting.

The main reason is to prevent us from taking it all at once. Once we act rashly, at least those who did not come to the meeting will be transferred as soon as possible.Moreover, none of them came to every meeting. "

Xie Lin hissed: "Awesome, so meticulous? Doesn't this mean that every meeting will not only change the place but also change the meeting people?"

He nodded: "Yes. After the operation ended, we reflected on the whole operation before we came to our senses. The people who came to the meeting were all small leaders, and there was no such thing as Zuo Hufa, but he must have participated in the meeting in other ways.

I suspect that he should have arranged for another person to listen in the room next to the meeting, and then remotely command and convey his opinions by calling.

And...we did clear the scene before the operation. The person who was Zuo Dharma at that time, or Zuo Dharma himself, was very likely to be cleared out by us when we cleared the scene. "

Xie Lin was silent, no wonder the old man is over 70 years old and still can't let go of this case.

"Later, after I retired, I looked at the case over and over again for almost two years. After taking 10,000+ photos, I was stunned to match them all, but I still had no clue.

It is very likely that this left protector will find different people to help him hold meetings every time, and he will not have contact with the people in the meeting every time, and he has never shown himself from the beginning to the end. Tell me, how much is this anti-reconnaissance awareness? powerful. "

He let out a long sigh: "Are those photos still there?"

"Yes, of course, I think I can use it someday. It's all locked in my study. There are three big boxes. There are also the investigations I did in those years. They are all there. Do you want to take them away?"

He laughed: "Requisition...requisition. Now that you are retired, you are ordinary people. As policemen, we don't take needles from people. We investigate the case later and send it back to you."

The old man said "Hi" and waved his hand: "If you can finish this case, what's the use of me keeping these things? Me, I wish you wouldn't return these things to me. Let's go home with me take it."

Xie Lin nodded, and followed him back to his house. As soon as the door of the study was opened, he said "laughter", and Xie Lin gasped on the spot.

I saw only an inch of space in the study room. First, there was an enlarged map of Lancheng, drawn in circles with red pens and blue pens. Tacks were nailed to every corner, and photos were stacked one on top of the other. Several large boxes were scattered, and the photos were bundled up with rubber bands and stacked neatly. There were still pillows and quilts on the sofa in the corner, and the overnight wine bottles were not cleared away.

"Fang...Uncle Fang, you are..."

He laughed, with a little tiredness and shyness in his brows: "I'm old and useless. Sometimes I can't sleep in the middle of the night and look in the study. When I joined the police force, I was still a young boy. It's only seventy or eighty, maybe I will die suddenly at some point, this case is stuck in my heart, it's uncomfortable."

Xie Lin understood this feeling of powerlessness too well, silently squeezed the old man's shoulder.

He waved his hand, sat on the cold wooden sofa, turned his head and looked at the big map that had accompanied him for so many sleepless nights: "It's okay. You can take all these things down and take them away, regardless of my age." , I am most familiar with this case, if you have any questions, please call me, and I will go to the bureau at any time."

"Uncle Fang, I do have a question. Do you have a way to sneak into this cult?"

"What? Are you going to go undercover yourself?"

he nods...

Fang Weimin stood up, turned around twice, and finally asked cautiously: "Tell me all the information you have. Although I am retired, I am also a veteran criminal policeman. Let me analyze it for you first."

"This...to be honest, we don't have any news yet. Although the fingerprints on the murder weapon are matched, everyone is missing. Even if I have made up my mind to go undercover, there is no breakthrough. I just came here to try my luck."

"That won't work. I have contacted this group of people, and they are all real lunatics. I recommend you to follow our old path, find someone, and keep an eye on them.
