winter past

Zhao You was sitting on the side of the road, holding his backpack and watching the flow of people passing by. It was [-]:[-] in the morning, and it was already a new day. The hot and humid air lingering on Xingfu Street was exhausted and flowed all over the street. The smell of alcohol all night gave every passerby a slightly drunk and happy look.

There are crowds of people in front of several small supper restaurants, young men and women yelling and occupying seats to eat together, whenever the young men in black and the young men in yellow run into each other, they will turn their noses up and squeeze their fists tightly. There was a crackling sound, and he walked past the opponent arrogantly.Two uniformed patrolmen emerged at 11:30 and 01:30, strolling down the street with their hands behind their backs.

There are very few small shops equipped with surveillance cameras on the roadside, especially near Shuimen Street. There is only one roadside surveillance installed near the zebra crossing.There was a camera in front of a porridge shop, but the wires were neatly cut.

Zhao You looked at the time again. It was fifty past one. He carried his backpack and walked into the deep alley diagonally facing the intersection of Shuimen Street.Not long after entering, there was a door opening sound from his right side, followed by a beam of light entering the alley, followed by a wave of spicy prickly ash smell, and the sound of range hood and pots and spoons colliding in the alley. Echoes in the alley.Zhao You took a look, and walked quickly towards the bright place. It turned out that there was a door connecting the alley and the back kitchen. The kitchen behind the door was very busy. He threw it out and closed the door with a "bang".The light disappeared, and Zhao You walked to the side of the garbage bags. The knots of the garbage bags were loosely tied, and they opened as soon as they were untied, but the alley was too dark to see what was inside.He took out his mobile phone to look at it carefully, and even made a gesture. The garbage bag is very big, and one bag can hold about five or six bulging backpacks on his shoulders.The stench in the garbage bag was pungent, and many eggshells could be seen, as well as some red, white and offal scraps of internal organs.Zhao You opened several other bags of garbage, which smelled very fishy, ​​and one bag of garbage contained a whole bag of fish scales.

Zhao You knocked on the door that was closed just now, but no one answered, so he went around and found the front of a grilled fish shop. The restaurant was doing well, the shop was full, and there were five tables at the door. , are also seated, and each table is equipped with an electric fan.Zhao You entered the store, greeted the front desk, took out his police officer ID card with a smile, put it away after shaking it in front of the front desk, and said, "Food and medicine are hygienic, come to understand the situation."

The front desk hurriedly pulled him to the side, nodded and bowed, gave him cigarettes with a smile, and called the hotel manager over.The hotel manager looked at Zhao You and also smiled: "Is this...someone complained?"

"No, it's just a routine spot check." Zhao You didn't ask for a cigarette.

The manager pointed to a pile of cardboard boxes in the aisle and said: "There are special people to collect them, professional garbage recycling companies, isn't this responding to the city's No. [-] document a few years ago, rectifying the city appearance and creating a civilized city?" , This policy is good, put an end to those vagrants and beggars picking up rubbish on the street, digging through garbage bags, we even have someone take away the used oil and reuse it, we still have to pay for it.”

"The kitchen waste that cannot be recycled can be thrown directly at the back door, and someone will come to collect it in the morning?"

"You don't have to wait until the morning, the car will come later, we will close the door immediately, and they will come before the door closes. I guarantee that there will be no peculiar smell. The business is very good today. It's a weekend, so they will be late. , the porridge shop and the wonton shop next to it do this. Put it in front of the shop. In such a hot day, this business may be a bit difficult... This is all negotiated with the street. The main reason is that the alley behind is too narrow It’s impossible to put that kind of big trash can, just throw two bags into the trash can and it’ll be full, our kitchen only has such a small space, so we can’t pile up too much trash, don’t you think?”

The manager smiled and shook hands with Zhao You: "It's still a good policy. Our store is also happy without those who pick up rubbish. If you say those people pick up rubbish, just pick up the rubbish. If you don't tie up the bag after you pick up, then It stinks, those flies keep coming in, flying all over the sky!!"

Zhao You smiled, agreed with the manager, and came out of the grilled fish shop.His next stop was the Third People's Hospital. It was already past the time for visiting. Zhao You entered the inpatient department, and then he identified himself with the nurse on duty on the first floor, and asked for a boy named "Zhu Tianran" by name: " It should be around two o'clock in the morning on the 3rd, and the ambulance arrived, can you contact the emergency doctor at that time, Dr. Xiao?"

The nurse on duty dialed Dr. Xiao's phone number and pulled out the record for him to read.According to hospital records, Zhu Tianran registered at 6:3 am on June [-], and a nurse made the call on his behalf. At that time, his family members were not contacted. When he was sent to the emergency department of the hospital, his head was covered with blood. After diagnosis, he suffered severe brain damage. , After the patient was admitted to the hospital, he experienced vomiting, dizziness, confusion, perforation of the right eardrum, fracture of the nasal bone, loss of three teeth, and fracture of the right arm.Now he is lying in the orthopedic ward on the third floor.

Dr. Xiao got through the phone quickly. As soon as Zhao You said the name "Zhu Tianran" and described his injury, Dr. Xiao remembered: "I remember him, remember, remember, that kid, that kid on Shuimen Street. The one next to him, right? It looked like he was beaten, and there was no one else around, and he was lying alone in the alley, covered in blood, and he called 120."

"What color was he wearing at the time?"

"what?"

"Do you remember?"

"Yellow...yellow clothes. In order to keep him awake, we joked with him at the time, saying that your clothes now look like scrambled eggs with tomatoes. He still laughed. Did you catch the person who beat him? Didn't he let Did you call the police? I heard that his uncle came later and didn’t call the police..."

Zhao You then asked the nurse on duty: "Does his uncle visit every day?"

The nurse on duty inquired: "No, I only came once on the 3rd to pay the money."

Zhao You said, "I'll go up and have a look."

The nurse on duty led him the way. When he reached the third floor, she explained the situation to a young female nurse in the nurse's station. The young female nurse led Zhao You to the ward. She also had an impression of Zhu Tianran and said : "Zhu Tianran, right? After the CT that day, he seemed to be awake. I asked him for his family's phone number. He gave me a number. When I called, the person said it was his uncle, but it was very fast. Just came, paid the money, looked at Zhu Tianran and left, never came again."

"Is Zhu Tianran calling that man uncle?"

"Called Brother Yu."

"Did they say anything? Were you there? Were any other nurses there?"

"I'm not here, and no one else is here." The nurse stopped in front of Ward 352, pointed inside and said, "Here, the innermost bed."

There are still three patients in this ward, all of whom are sleeping soundly. Zhao You went in lightly, turned on the lamp beside Zhu Tianran's bed, pushed him lightly, and first said: "Zhu Tianran, someone is looking for you..."

Zhu Tianran had a bandage on his head, a plaster cast on his right hand, his eyes were black and blue, and there was a piece of gauze on his face. He barely opened his eyelids and looked out: "Who..."

Zhao You said softly: "The police came to find you to understand what happened the day you were beaten."

"Police??" Zhu Tianran's voice was high, and he opened his eyes suddenly, and the person bounced off the bed, and his right hand was pulled by this action, he grinned, gasped and glared at Zhao You, "Are you a policeman? What's wrong with me?"

"Don't get excited." Zhao You patted him, sat down beside his bed, and whispered softly, "Did you get beaten up on Xingfu Street in the early morning of the 3rd?"

"No, I fell it myself." Zhu Tianran turned his head away, facing the mobile phone with the charger plugged in beside the bed.

Zhao You said: "The thing is like this, your Brother Yu went to avenge you, but the person directly reported to the police, and Brother Yu said that he came out to you because you were beaten by these people first. What happened? Your testimony is very important to how we deal with Brother Yu, do you understand?"

Zhu Tianran clenched his fist with his left hand and thumped the hospital bed: "Grass, my brother Yu is a good person, don't arrest people randomly! They even took a video the day they beat me! They can definitely find it in their mobile phone! Go check their mobile phone! Restore their data!! I know the ability of your notes, you can restore them even if you delete them!"

Someone scolded at the hospital bed next to him: "You mother, what are you arguing about!"

Zhao You made a soothing gesture, took out his mobile phone, found Daqiang's ID card photo, and showed it to Zhu Tianran: "Is this the man who beat you? He also took pictures of you and got beaten?"

Zhu Tianran said, "Yes, he is here!"

"It's pretty dark in the alley, can you recognize someone?"

Zhu Tianran hastily explained: "Let me tell you, oops, why can't you figure it out?? Those watchdogs dragged my buddies' women to ask for a phone call. I went to argue with them, but they did it first! This man made the most fuss, I remember his voice! The police from the police station are here. These bastards are very thieves. When they see the people from the police station coming, they pretend to be good and turn their heads to attack me while I am walking alone. !"

"Where are you going alone? That day, there was a conflict with this group of people. Isn't it safe to go alone?"

"I took a shortcut to pick up my woman from get off work." Zhu Tianran puffed up his chest, "I'm not afraid of them!"

"Your woman works in the factory in the Open Zone?"

"That's right, did Brother Yu go directly to their eldest brother? Who called the police? Damn it, hurry up and arrest people. They beat me up like this. Those bastards are all nesting in the star community, star The [-]th building in the community, the seventh to eighth floors are all their people! I report them for gathering to gamble, gather to fight, and organize prostitutes and prostitutes!"

"We will verify the situation you reported. Thank you for your cooperation. You should have a good rest first."

"Brother Yu was not beaten, right?"

"Don't worry. Brother Yu is fine." Zhao You got up, left the hospital, and went straight to the star community.

This star community is close to the International Convention and Exhibition Center. There are no shops in front of the village and no shops in the back. The night is dark. There are a row of food stalls at the entrance of the community. Special snacks from all provinces are sold, and Guilin rice noodles are the most popular among them.The popularity here is not worse than that of Xingfu Street. From time to time, food delivery people drive in and out with battery cars. There are many express boxes piled up in the guard room of the community, but there is no sign of a security guard. There are only three shirtless young people squatting inside. Pick a courier, smoke, drink.

The people who come and go here are all young people who speak various local dialects. Each building is a small high-rise building with more than [-] floors. Zhao You found [-] buildings and took the elevator to the seventh floor.There are eight households on the seventh floor, surrounded by elevators, and the doors are all electronic locks with peepholes. Zhao You found a random room, knocked hard on the door, and yelled loudly: "Daqiang, your courier has been left downstairs! "

A skinny young man came to open the door, and opened the door. His right arm was covered with tattoos, and he smelled like cigarettes. He squinted his eyes and said, "I made a mistake. Daqiang is on the sixth floor, 806."

The young man was about to close the door, Zhao You grabbed the door and asked him, "I heard he moved down, there is no room upstairs."

"How could it be impossible to live? There are only two friends in one room? Who says you can't live?"

"Oh, is that so, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

The young man quickly closed the door.Zhao You went up the stairwell. The stairwell was full of advertisements for false certificates and aphrodisiacs. The windows on the wall in the stairwell were closed. He pushed the windows, the windows on the seventh and eighth floors They are all sealed.At the door of 806, Zhao You lowered his head, knocked on the door first, and asked, "Is Daqiang there?"

After a while, someone behind the door asked, "Who is it?"

"I see your courier downstairs." Zhao You put his hands behind his back.

"What express delivery?" The door opened, and a boy with a nose ring stood behind the door, yawning and saying, "Who are you?"

"New here." Zhao You stretched out a foot to block the door, raised his head, and smiled at the boy, "I brought it up for him, Daqiang and I are fellow villagers, just ask him , are you the only ones in the room? No girls today, no ladders?"

"You don't need money to find a girl for driving a ladder? How can you do that all day long?" The boy walked into the room, and the air conditioner in the room was turned on very low. Zhao You saw that the boy entered the kitchen, which was facing the kitchen. Looking at the living room, there are some sealed cardboard boxes on the floor of the living room.

"Daqiang, I'm looking for you." The boy's voice came from the kitchen, and Zhao You hurriedly entered the kitchen.

That Daqiang was in the kitchen, cooking instant noodles in front of the stove, the noodle soup in the noodle pot was boiling, gurgling and steaming.

When the boy saw Zhao You, he yawned, pointed at him and Daqiang and said, "Say it's your fellow."

Daqiang looked at Zhao You, his eyes tightened, and the veins on the right wrist holding the chopsticks tensed one by one.He first glanced at the chopsticks, and then, out of the corner of his eyes, he glanced at the cutting board by the stove, on which there was a kitchen knife.

The boy said: "When did you come? I haven't heard that any newcomers are coming."

Zhao You also looked at Daqiang, and Daqiang's eyes fell back on him—at the moment when Daqiang's eyes fell back, Zhao You grabbed the noodle pot on the stove and put it on Daqiang's head deducted.Daqiang screamed and closed his eyes tightly. He waved his chopsticks to pounce on Zhao You, but he stepped into the overturned noodle soup, staggered and fell to the ground. The boy wanted to pounce on him too. Zhao You, Zhao You was still holding the noodle pot in his hand, and he hit the boy on the head. The boy covered his head and wobbled, unable to stand still.Daqiang covered his face on the ground and yelled, trying to climb up while holding the wall: "I hate your mother! I hate you!!"

Seeing this, Zhao You stepped on his right hand, threw away the noodle pot, grabbed the boy by the collar, twisted his hands behind his back, and said, "Police, I'm asking you something, please calm down first." .”

The boy shouted: "I'm stupid, didn't you just not calm down first? I'm calm, I'm so calm! I'm so cold that I have goosebumps! Damn!"

Zhao You put handcuffs on him, pointed to the wall and said, "Go and squat down there first."

The boy stiffened his neck and refused to move. Daqiang tried his best to pull his hand from the bottom of Zhao You's feet: "You fucking enforce the law! Extort a confession by torture!! I want to call the police! I want to find a lawyer! I'm blind, I'm blind!"

The boy said, "Let me go!"

Zhao You said: "Just now I told you that I am a policeman, so now you are violently disobeying the law."

He pointed to the living room: "What's in the box?"

The boy fell silent, and obediently walked to the wall and squatted down.He let go of his feet, squatted down and looked at Daqiang, and asked him, "Did you beat someone on Xingfu Street in the early morning of the 3rd?"

"Hit your mother!" Daqiang spat out, and flew over to wipe Zhao You's face.His eyes were still closed, and his whole face was flushed.

"Did you hit someone?" Zhao You asked again.

"no!"

"Take out the phone."

"no mobile phone!"

Zhao You took out a mobile phone from Daqiang's trouser pocket, and compared it to his face: the authentication failed, he opened Daqiang's eyes and compared it again, and the screen was unlocked.

"How much money does being a security guard make? The latest Apple?" Zhao You lowered his head and flipped through Daqiang's phone.

"Never mind your business! I didn't steal or rob, this is my legal income!"

Zhao You quickly found a video that was shot at 6:3 am on June 12. He clicked on it and saw that the picture was very dark at first, and then he saw a few black shadows moving, and heard someone whimpering. the sound of.Then Daqiang's voice sounded: "Don't just beat people up, beat them up, beat them up, beat them up."

After a while, the screen brightened, and Daqiang's face appeared in the camera. He made a V, smiled and pointed to the ground to make a face. Then he pointed the camera to a dark yellow shadow on the ground. The shadow grabbed a handful of hair and raised a bruised and swollen head, it was Zhu Tianran.He was moaning, and his consciousness was already very unclear.

"Ha ha ha ha."

Many people are laughing.

"You are awesome, you are awesome! You are awesome!" Da Qiang slammed Zhu Tianran's head against the wall.

"Ha ha ha ha."

The laughter all around was louder.The shooting angle changed again, and turned into an overhead shot. Many young men in black appeared, surrounding Zhu Tianran, punching him like raindrops of fists and kicks.At this time, a figure rushes into the camera in a panic, Daqiang's hand hangs down, the camera shifts accordingly, and some light still shines in front of the camera.

"What are you looking at? Have you never seen someone beating someone?" a man shouted.

"Fuck your mother." Another man cursed, rushed to the figure and grabbed the man by the collar.

"Hey, hey, don't make trouble with others, we're not hooligans." Someone said so, and the man who rushed to arrest him let go of his hand and walked away. At this time, the video can clearly see that The appearance of the uninvited guest was a man, holding a lady's purse, and hurriedly grabbing the peaked cap on his head, but unfortunately his face was still exposed, and his nervous expression was fully exposed.The man quickly put on his hat, turned around and ran away.

Zhao You could see clearly that this man was Zhang Li.The video shot by Daqiang was not over yet. After Zhang Li left, they fought around Zhu Tianran for more than five minutes. Someone said, "Let's go and have supper."

That's the end of the video.

"You have been active in the Xingfu Street area, right?" Zhao You asked Daqiang.Daqiang blinked his red and swollen eyes, his lips moved up and down, as if cursing.

Zhao You patted his face, smiled, and continued to look through the photos and videos in Daqiang's mobile phone, which led him to a dozen photos of Daqiang and a Bentley, which was parked at the entrance of the Crystal Bar, next to it It's a stop sign.The photo was taken around midnight on June 6th.At 5:5 on the 12th, Daqiang also took a video, also facing that Bentley. From the photos and videos, it seems that the Bentley has a driving recorder installed on it.

"Whose car is this?" Zhao You asked Daqiang.

"Illegal parking is also under your control?"

Zhao You watched the video on No. 5. After Daqiang posed many poses to the Bentley, a young man came out of the crystal bar drunk. If it wasn't for this, Zhao You still hasn't seen the person under the shadow of the tree.The passerby who was hit was dressed in black, and the peaked cap he was wearing almost fell off. After being hit, the passerby quickly grabbed the hat, lowered the brim of the hat, and continued walking.The young man who bumped into someone cheerfully saluted the passer-by, and said loudly, "I'm sorry!"

Zhao You asked Daqiang: "You also know that he parked illegally?" He took out his mobile phone and scanned Daqiang's WeChat, and said, "Let's add a WeChat friend. If you want to complain about my violent law enforcement, you want to call the police. Catch me, you are welcome anytime, remember to go for an injury check, the doctor will make a report so you can make a complaint.” He smiled and looked at Daqiang, “Can you take a clear picture of this Bentley’s license plate, your boss’ car?”

He sent himself the two videos taken by No. 3 and No. 5 on Daqiang's mobile phone. Daqiang kicked his legs on the ground viciously, and dared not speak out.Zhao You pointed to the noodle soup and noodles on the ground: "Have a supper together?"

Daqiang spat at him.Zhao You said: "You don't want to eat? Then I will eat."

He went downstairs to buy a grilled cold noodle and a glass of freshly squeezed sugarcane juice, and ate them standing by the roadside.There are fewer food deliveries now, and more electric tricycles parked at the entrance of the community to drop off passengers. The young boys, a little shy, joked with each other and entered the star community.

Zhao You forwarded the video in the early morning of the [-]th to Guo Wei of the Technical Detective, and asked him: Brother Guo, please ask, can you brighten up the person who appeared in the middle and was hit by someone, and correct that person's name? face?

Guo Wei didn't reply, Zhao You finished the roasted cold noodles, took sugarcane juice, saw that it was almost four o'clock, and hurriedly hailed a taxi to go to Yanzigou.
