Jin Jiaxuan 2: Poem of Silence

Before Qiu Li's body was cold, the person who indirectly caused her suicide drowned?This is too "coincidental".

"Still booking high-speed rail tickets?" Jin Xu said, "Still..."

Shang Yang exposed him and said: "You don't have to pretend, I don't believe you can go back with peace of mind."

Jin Xu also said: "I don't think you can just leave like this with confidence."

The two reached a consensus without hesitation, and decided to postpone the return schedule and go to the Municipal Bureau to check the situation first.

The lake where the floating corpse was found is a world-renowned lake.

It was past six o'clock in the morning, and in addition to the citizens doing morning exercises or walking, there were also many tourists who came to see the lake view early in the morning. Some people were the first to see the corpses floating in the lake and screamed, and some people ran away quickly. But some people hurriedly took out their mobile phones or cameras, and recorded the corpse hidden in the lotus stems and the screams all around.

On the way to the Municipal Bureau, Shang Yang casually checked the Internet, and the story of the floating corpse on the lake had been spread in various forms on all major platforms, but the unencoded videos and photos had been harmonized by all platforms, and one could only watch To a very small number of highly blurred versions with mosaics, most of them are textual retelling and dissemination. Many boring netizens exaggerate to attract attention. What they say is completely inconsistent with the facts. The opening remarks often add:

"My uncle was by the lake in the morning and saw..."

"My mother saw it on the way to work..."

"I'm a local, and I heard people say..."

Looking back, it was nonsense, and even the identity of the deceased was fabricated at will.

It seems that the police have done a good job of keeping secrets. The fact that the deceased is a person related to the "female P9 falling from a building" that has been raging a few days ago, the police have not disclosed a single cent to the outside world.

However, the news that "a man died in the lake" has spread rapidly, which is bound to cause panic among some people, and it will also attract flies who don't care about the murder case and just want to make use of it.

As soon as the two arrived at the Municipal Bureau, they found that all the police here were going crazy. The calls from various departments came one after another. Other units called to inquire about the situation, and many people called to provide clues.

Public opinion is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, it will urge the public security department to solve the case as soon as possible; on the other hand, it will make the sources of information more complicated. In the clues, remove the false and save the true.

"This is also..." Shang Yang saw that everyone was walking in the wind, and no one cared to talk to them for a long time when he came in. He didn't expect this to happen, and said, "Last time when Xing Guang and the others found a charred corpse, It’s scary too, the colleagues over there didn’t seem to be as busy as they are here.”

Jin Xu rose from Qiu Fu to Qiu Hu: "With or without a lake, the influence is of course different. If this happened in Beijing, it would be equivalent to someone dying under the Jinshui Bridge. You say it's serious or not."

Shang Yang: "………………………… Shut up!"

"Why do you dare to talk nonsense?" After pausing for half a minute, Shang Yang said with lingering fear, "Fortunately, you are not my real apprentice. If you are heard, you still think I am teaching you behind your back."

Assistant Jin corrected his attitude and said, "Let's go to Section Chief Huang to ask about the situation? He went to the scene to see it."

Shang Yang said: "Okay."

In the end, the two went to Huang Jianping's office, but no one was there, and they couldn't figure it out when they asked others. Jin Xu called him, but was hung up.

"Won't you go to investigate the case again?" Shang Yang said, "He is no longer in the criminal investigation position, and he hastily intervened in the criminal case. I am worried that this old Huang will make mistakes."

Jin Xu said: "The criminal policemen who went to investigate by the lake have all returned. What is he going to investigate by himself? What's more, if he violates the regulations, the clues he finds will be invalidated. He is just impatient, not a fool, and will not do such troublesome things. .”

The two looked at the empty section chief's office, and suddenly thought of where Huang Jianping had gone—"Captain Tian."

Captain Tian is in charge of Qiu Li's case. The floating corpse case and Qiu Li's suicide case seem to be related cases, and they are likely to be dealt with together.

Huang Jianping probably went to talk to his wife about the case.

The two inquired about the location again, and found the office area of ​​the investigation team where Captain Tian was located.

Captain Tian's name is Tian Rong. He came from the police school in this province and has been doing investigative work for more than 20 years.When Shang Yang and Jin Xu were doing research these days, they talked about Captain Tian Rong with other police officers. They didn't talk much, but as long as she was mentioned, a group of male police officers all gave a thumbs up.

Tian Rong is well-known as the overlord in the provincial public security system.The investigation work is very hard, not to mention the female police officers, not many male police officers can persist in the investigative positions for so many years. Tian Rong and Huang Jianping are both criminal police officers, and they are equally busy. They have made achievements in their respective positions and repeatedly solved cases. This police couple is "remarkable, but not easy."

Because Tian Rong and Shang Yang's mother had similar temperaments when they were young, Shang Yang already had a good impression of the female detective captain. After hearing this information, he even liked Huang Jianping a lot.

The investigation team only had two or three police officers staying behind, and the others were sent out to investigate the case. He heard from Shang Yang that he was looking for Captain Tian, ​​and a young policeman took them to the captain's office. Before they reached the door, they heard Disputes.

One was obviously Huang Jianping, who spoke the local dialect, but Shang Yang couldn't understand it, and could hear the tone in a very irritable tone, but it didn't sound like he was scolding, but he seemed to be in a hurry to explain something.

He didn't finish speaking, but was interrupted by Captain Tian Rong, who said in Mandarin with a local accent: "Go back to your office, remember to pick up the children at noon, and don't meddle in things you shouldn't be involved in! Get out of here!" "

Huang Jianping said something again. This sentence was still in dialect, and he still couldn't understand it, but he could tell that he was begging his wife not to be angry.

Shang Yang and Jin Xu: "..."

The young policeman who brought them here was also a little embarrassed, and stepped forward to knock on the door vigorously, reminding that someone was coming.

The office door was opened, Huang Jianping came out, saw Jin Xu and Shang Yang, and said, "Hey? Didn't you say you're going back to Beijing today?"

Shang Yang thought about how to say this, "My assistant is too addicted to handling cases"...it's not appropriate.

He hadn't thought it through yet, but the assistant Hu pretended to be powerful!Unexpectedly said: "Section Chief Huang, don't take care of the leadership."

Shang Yang's eyes darkened, he should have known it earlier, his assistants were one by one and the other was shameless, let's not talk about the previous ones, but now this one in particular should be beaten to death.

But Huang Jianping and Jin Xu had an inexplicable mutual understanding as colleagues. He heard that he was joking, and nodded politely to Shang Yang, and then looked back at the office. Tian Rong probably didn't get a good look, so he walked away depressed up.

The young policeman had already gone in to report to Tian Rong, and came out to invite Shang Yang and Jin Xu: "You two, please come in."

The two of them entered the office, judging by Tian Rong's appearance, she should have just cleaned up her appearance, and she still attaches great importance to the two "superiors" who came to do research work.

"I guess you are here to ask about the floating corpse case," Tian Rong asked them to sit down, and said, "I'm going out later, so I don't have time to go into details, so I can only make a brief report."

Shang Yang said: "Don't be so polite, we just want to understand the situation of this case."

Tian Rong said: "Understood. I heard that you are going back today. On the day you came, Qiu Li fell from the building. When you were leaving, you happened to meet the follow-up of this case. If it were me, I would also want to know clearly. You can see it online now Have you seen the video and photos in the morning?"

Seeing Shang Yang nodding, she went on to talk about the situation of the floating corpse case.

After the discovery of the corpse, there was a lot of commotion by the lake. Some courageous and good-natured people were going to go to the lake to salvage the corpse. They shot a short video and posted it on the Internet.

Fortunately, other people called the police in time, and the police from the nearby police station arrived at the scene to evacuate the onlookers in time, protecting the scene and protecting the corpse from being destroyed.

The criminal police and the forensic doctor arrived at the scene at the same time. After the body was salvaged, the surface of the body was examined on the spot. It basically conformed to the characteristics of drowning, that is to say, the deceased was indeed drowned. Judging by the corpse spots, the death time did not exceed twelve hours. Whether it was homicide, suicide or accidentally falling into the water, the time of death was last night, and further autopsy results have not yet come out, so the nature of the case cannot be fully determined for the time being.

It will take time to monitor and investigate the lakeside, and no useful clues have been found so far.

Captain Tian Rong hurriedly finished the introduction, and finally said: "A few days ago when investigating Qiu Li's suicide case, we all saw the deceased. We were all quite surprised when we saw that it was him... No one expected this to happen."

At this time, the young policeman brought in the brewed tea. Tian Rong was in a hurry to do something, so she gestured for him not to go out, and introduced to Shang Yang and Jin Xu: "This is Officer Chen, other details Let him introduce you to the problem."

There was a prime time for the murder case, and the location of the case was extremely special. Captain Tian, ​​as the direct person in charge, naturally had to devote himself to the case.

After she left, Xiao Chen, the police officer in charge of the staying team, wanted to stay behind anyway, so he sat by the side and said, "Ask me if you have any questions. I'll be there in the morning."

But neither Shang Yang nor Jin Xu are newcomers. Although Tian Rong only had a few sentences, he had already explained the important parts clearly, enough for them to understand the current progress.

Shang Yang looked at Jin Xu and wanted to say, why not do this first?

But Jin Xu asked Officer Xiao Chen: "Do Captain Tian and Lao Huang often quarrel like this?"

Officer Xiao Chen was taken aback by the question, and said, "No... I don't know that very well."

This has nothing to do with the case, why do people want to talk about their captain's family affairs behind their backs?Shang Yang also convinced Jin Xu, and was about to speak, only to hear Jin Xu say again: "I heard that when Lao Huang was still in your team, that Qiu Li often came to him, have you met Qiu Li?"

The young police officer Chen showed a little embarrassment.It seems that the "relationship" between Huang Jianping and Qiu Li is not just Tian Rong who had a misunderstanding. Huang Jianping is only a few years older than Qiu Li. discussion.

It turns out that the relationship between husband and wife is false, and I will wait here later.Shang Yang really convinced Jin Xu this time, and by making a small detour, he might be able to get some big information——

There must be some unknown connection between Huang Jianping and the suicide cases of the Qiu family's twin sisters. Otherwise, Huang Jianping, an old criminal policeman, would not have been entangled in a suicide case with clear facts for many years, and even gave birth to a problem that could not be continued. The heart disease of criminal police work.

Tian Rong obviously couldn't figure this out either. She should have suspected many possibilities, but in the end all doubts fell into one: Huang Jianping mentally cheated on Qiu Li.

This can be regarded as a fan of the authorities.The outsiders Shang Yang and Jin Xu can see that Huang Jianping has no affection for Qiu Li, not to mention any affection between men and women, not even the affection of ordinary acquaintances.

——Then what is Huang Jianping doing for?

Shang Yang vaguely guessed that Jin Xu might have suspected something a few days ago.

Police officer Xiao Chen said: "I have seen it before, but I haven't spoken to you. That Qiu Li didn't come here often. He came once every two or three months to trouble the Huang team... The Huang team is Section Chief Huang. Qiu Li took her My sister's death was blamed on the police. Team Huang was the case investigator at the time. Every time Qiu Li came to find fault, Team Huang couldn't handle it. Team Tian often went to save the scene halfway and persuaded Qiu Li to go back. It might be easier to communicate, Qiu Li doesn't have a good face towards us male policemen, but she is more kind to the Tian team."

Shang Yang nodded, these are consistent with what Tian Rong said before.

"Did everyone in your team, including Captain Tian, ​​know that Qiu Li was ill? She always comes here to make trouble." Jin Xu asked.

Shang Yang didn't understand the meaning of this question.

Xiao Chen said: "I don't know. After she committed suicide a few days ago, when Team Tian took people to find out the situation, I heard from the people around Qiu Li that she had been seeing a psychiatrist and taking medicine. We used to I don’t know, Team Tian heard about it for the first time that day, and she was quite surprised. She has a Ph.D. Dare to think she is really mentally ill."

Some mental illnesses do not affect work and life as long as they take medicine on time, and some colleagues and family members cannot even tell that the person concerned is a patient.Qiu Li's disease belongs to this kind.

Jin Xu said meaningfully: "No one in your investigation team knows about her illness."

Shang Yang suddenly understood Jin Xu's intention for asking this question.

On the day he and Jin Xu came to the city, Huang Jianping went to the high-speed rail station to pick them up. At that time, Huang Jianping was disturbed by the incident, so he mentioned to them that the deceased who fell that day had been seeing a psychologist for a long time.At that time, Tian Rong and other criminal policemen were still investigating the scene of the suicide case, and hadn't investigated Qiu Li's personal situation.

In other words, before everyone knew that Qiu Li was sick, Huang Jianping knew about it.

When did he know?How did you know it?Could it be Qiu Li herself who told him?

He concealed something related to Qiu Li, and the detectives around him who were doing investigative work all day would not fail to sense it.

This can explain why the detectives of the investigation team, including Tian Rong, misunderstood that Huang Jianping and Qiu Li had an unusual relationship.From what it sounds like, even Shang Yang and Jin Xu are about to have similar suspicions.

After chatting for a while, Shang Yang also naturally asked Xiao Chen about his personal situation. Xiao Chen has graduated for two years and has only been a criminal police officer for a few months. When a newcomer is asked about himself by his superiors, he will naturally feel nervous. Feeling valued by the organization, Xiao Chen sat upright, eager to stand up and answer Director Shang's question.

After Jin Xu came to the straightforward conclusion of this "junior brother", he didn't care what the two of them were talking about. He got up and looked at the pennants and awards hanging on the wall next to him. These are Tian Rong's personal honors, and the collective honors are all outside. Public area.He walked to the table again, and saw a framed photo on the table, which was a family portrait, with Tian Rong and Huang Jianping on both sides, and a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl in the middle, compared to the smiling faces of the couple who worked hard in front of the camera , the girl seemed a little indifferent.

"How many children do you Captain Tian have?" Jin Xu abruptly interrupted the conversation between the other two and asked.

Xiao Chen: "Just one daughter."

Jin Xu looked at the photo and said, "Are you a high school student? Do you still need a pick-up?"

When they came just now, they heard Tian Rong tell Huang Jianping to "pick up the child".

Shang Yang thought to himself, it's not surprising that many high school students also have to pick up and drop off.

"Team Tian's daughter..." Xiao Chen said, "I can't hear it, so it's not safe to go home by myself."

Shang Yang was stunned for a moment, and then thought: Sure enough, I still can't automatically rationalize all the questions, I still have to read more and ask more questions.

Jin Xu asked again: "Is it congenital?"

"No." Xiao Chen sighed.

Both Tian Rong and Huang Jianping are criminal police officers. One year, they were involved in a criminal case. They offended someone and were retaliated against. They deceived their daughter who was still in elementary school at the time. Fortunately, they didn't hurt the child, just to teach them a lesson. , Throwing the child under the railway overpass, when it was found, the child's hearing was irreversibly damaged due to excessive fright and the continuous noise of the railway tracks.

Later, the villains who should be punished were punished.Later, the child grows into a big girl, and she will wear hearing aids for the rest of her life.

Only then did Shang Yang understand why when they talked about Tian Rong's local policemen, they would say "it's not easy" in addition to the couple who are also criminal policemen "remarkable".Many police officers will encounter dangers brought about by their occupations. The biggest and most difficult to overcome is that many colleagues cannot protect their families well.

Jin Xu was also slightly surprised by this information, he did not expect such an inside story.

The landline phone on Tian Rong's desk rang, and Xiao Chen hurriedly got up to answer it. The technical investigation department called over there. Combined with the autopsy results of the forensic doctor, the technical investigation gave a scientific conclusion on the death process of the floating corpse in the lake:

The deceased had no external injuries, let alone fatal injuries, and it was determined that he died of drowning.

However, the diatoms in the dead's blood, respiratory tract, gastrointestinal tract, and various organs inhaled before drowning have completely different cell tissues from the diatoms in the lake.It can be inferred from this that the deceased drowned in water and died in other places, and then was thrown into the lake.

Whether it was a homicide or an accident needs to be further investigated by the criminal police, but even if the deceased fell into the water and died by mistake, there is still a suspect who threw the body in this case.Moreover, the suspect's purpose was very clear. He wanted to create the illusion that the deceased fell into the lake by mistake.

This conclusion was not beyond the expectations of Jin Xu and Shang Yang.

After confirming the existence of the suspect, Police Officer Xiao Chen also got busy. The main job of the left-behind personnel is to report in real time, complete the communication of information between various departments, and assist the superior in dispatching.

The two left the investigation team first.

"It's so cold!" Shang Yang tucked his chin into the collar of his buttoned windbreaker in the courtyard of the Municipal Bureau, with the cold wind blowing in late autumn, and said, "Why does it seem like there is no autumn here? You can still wear short sleeves at noon yesterday."

Jin Xu said: "Go indoors to hide from the wind, or you will have a stomachache later."

The two entered the main building of the Municipal Bureau and sat on the chairs by the wall.

The policemen are all busy going in and out for their respective jobs. The policemen on duty often see the two of them these days, and they don't come to check their IDs, just sit casually.

The two stayed for a while, each thinking about something.

"Unexpectedly, the suicide case led to a murder case." Shang Yang said, "Could it be Qiu Li's husband? He vented his anger on Qiu Li?"

"I don't know. Captain Tian will definitely investigate all suspects. She has rich experience. It's just that I think..." Jin Xu only started, but didn't continue.

Shang Yang said: "What? Don't play tricks. I wanted to ask you just now, are you suspicious of Section Chief Huang?"

"I haven't figured it out yet, it's just a feeling." Before reaching any specific conclusions about Huang Jianping, Jin Xu said something else first, "Do you think it's a murder case? I don't think so."

His accent falls on "one pile".

Shang Yang understood what he meant, but he wasn't quite sure: "Could it be that you... suspected that the associate professor died six or seven years ago? But the forensic medical conclusion is very clear that he had a heart attack."

Jin Xu said: "The male subordinate who drowned today did not have any external injuries, and he was indeed drowned. He could easily be regarded as an unlucky ghost who lost his footing and drowned in the lake."

Except for those with relevant knowledge, ordinary people generally do not think that people who drowned in different waters have different diatoms inhaled in their bodies.

"This time there are enough professional and careful technical investigators and forensic doctors." Jin Xu said, "What if the associate professor died of some kind of murder that could be mistaken for a heart attack, but the forensic doctors at that time didn't find it?"

Shang Yang questioned: "Is there such a way? He died in his own home in the middle of the night, and his family members were still at home. Firstly, he was not poisoned, and secondly, he was not traumatized."

"I don't know." Jin Xu didn't brag, honestly admitted that he didn't know, and said, "But sister Qiu Ling committed suicide, and the associate professor who exposed her teacher-student relationship died of a heart attack, and sister Qiu Li committed suicide, saying that she harassed herself His male subordinates were also drowned."

Shang Yang was led into this logic by him, and he couldn't help feeling horrified.

Jin Xu said seriously: "The two sisters committed suicide one after another, so it can be said to be the Werther effect. The people who indirectly caused them to commit suicide also died. This can only be..."

Shang Yang looked at him nervously.

"There is—ghost—" Jin Xu suddenly changed his tone and expression to be gloomy.

Shang Yang: "..."

Not to mention that he is an atheist, even if he really believes in gods and ghosts, there is a huge police badge hanging on the wall next to him, which is more effective than any talisman. Who can scare anyone by pretending to be a ghost in this environment?

Jin Xu said depressedly: "Don't you just smile?"

He didn't want to scare people, he just wanted to make them laugh, obviously failed.

Shang Yang said: "When you go back this time, you can go to class with the monitor, I think you are very suitable for staying up late and doing homework."

Jin Xu: "..."

Shang Yang was overjoyed and said, "This is much scarier than pretending to be a ghost, isn't it?"

The two made a few jokes, which eased the tension of talking about the case a lot, but after saying this, Jin Xu's expression froze.

"?" Shang Yang said, "What's the matter? I'm just kidding, if I don't drive you away, it's really scary to stay up late doing homework in your 30s."

Jin Xu thought of something, and said: "There must be no such things as ghosts and ghosts in the world. Even pretending to be a ghost in broad daylight won't scare you."

"But if it's the middle of the night, the night is quiet, and everyone in the family is sleeping," he looked at Shang Yang, assuming a situation, "someone is lurking in your house, and when you pass by, he suddenly jumps out and pretends to be a ghost to scare you." , will you be frightened?"

Shang Yang: "..."

On the day of the associate professor's death, he got up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. If someone hid in the bathroom of his house and suddenly came out to scare him... A middle-aged man with a bad heart was so frightened that he fell ill and died on the spot .
