I come from the abyss

"Zhang Xi, female, 24 years old, from Lincang, Yunnan. She dropped out of high school, went out to work, and came to Yuejiang City. About two years ago, she worked as an administrator at the parking management office of Jingjiu Muma Private Club. People, were transferred to spas with better jobs and benefits, until they suddenly resigned half a year ago."

"I asked the staff of the club, and it was said that Zhang Xi was attracted by Hu Gaofei, a guest of the club, and the two dated for a while. Later, they broke up, and I heard that the quarrel was not very good. After that, Zhang Xi resigned, and some said that Hu Gaofei didn't want to see her, so he let the club resign. lost her—”

"According to this statement, Zhang Xi kidnapped Hu Gaofei and died with him out of love."

"Some employees of the club think so, but a small number of people's words are evasive and their confessions are inconsistent. As far as I am concerned, I think there are other reasons behind it."

Ji Chengling narrated the results of the investigation to all the criminal police present.

At the top of the conference room were the chief of the branch bureau, the criminal deputy team of the city bureau detachment, and two or three old people, followed by Li Zan, who was a little depressed.

Tong Ju raised his hand to signal him to continue, "Target these few people and break through their psychological defenses one by one. They don't necessarily know a lot, but it's a clue to put together bits and pieces."

"Everyone is staring." Ji Chengling: "Jingjiu Muma Club is a high-end private club. It is usually very low-key and is very popular with the high-income class. Nine out of ten members are from the high-income class in Yuejiang City. They come from politics and business. And academia, if it really involves human trafficking as Zhang Xi said, I'm afraid..."

He didn't continue talking, and everyone present knew it well.

Zhang Xi used to be an employee of the clubhouse, and Hu Gaofei was a member of the clubhouse. She took Hu Gaofei and died under the eyes of the people. Before she died, she mentioned "human trafficking". relation.

If the evidence is convincing, all the members of the club will be accomplices in the 'human trafficking', but these 'accomplices' come from the high-income class such as politics, business and academia.

It is conceivable how much social turmoil will be caused after all this is announced.

This is a more important case than harbor smuggling and pit water street drug trafficking, because it involves the credibility of the country.

Ji Chengling: "Hu Gaofei, a local, is 29 years old. He came from an ordinary family. After graduation, he mixed with Zhou Boxue's circle of people. He opened a small company by himself and made some investments to accumulate assets. He has made a lot of money and is well-known in the industry. His private life is chaotic, he engages in relationships with men and women, and his ex-girlfriend who cheated on her for several years was so angry that she had a miscarriage... In this regard, this ex-girlfriend is more likely to kill her than Zhang Xi Hu Gaofei."

After a pause for a few seconds, Ji Chengling added: "If Zhang Xi and Hu Gaofei are only involved in the emotional entanglement we know so far, Ju Tong, Deputy Xing, and Captain Li, my report is over."

The criminal deputy team responded and handed over the home field to Ju Tong.

Tong Ju: "Dig deep into the relationship between Zhang Xi and Hu Gaofei, how Zhang Xi came to Yuejiang from Lincang, how she was resigned from the club, where and how she lived in the past six months, and the most important point!"

At this time, Bureau Tong did not hand over the full control of the case every time as usual, but took the lead in person, calmly followed the reports of his subordinates and extracted useful information from the messy reports, and then issued instructions with ease. Unhurried and stable, like a seasoned general who is not afraid of danger.

The usually lazy old man in the sub-bureau obeyed orders at this time, showing a kind of composure and tacit understanding that young policemen did not have.

"Who is connecting Zhang Xi's car with the police and the local radio station? What is the real purpose of the other party? Is this case related to the recent murder case handled by the Criminal Investigation Office?!" Tong Ju glanced at Li Zan, Continued: "Any clues can't be let go! King!"

"Here!" As if an electric current passed through his whole body, Wang immediately straightened his back, swept away the fatigue of staying up all night, and tried his best to show a vigorous side.

Tong Bureau: "You are good at computer technology, check the radio communication here."

Wang: "Yes!" Then there was nothing else to do, and he quietly languished again.

Bureau Tong said some more about the layout, then asked others to pay attention to add small details, and finally asked if there were any questions.

No one answered, which means there is no problem.

Director Tong nodded, and communicated with the criminal deputy team from the city bureau: "Captain Xing, do you have anything to add?"

Due to the wide involvement of the case, the Municipal Bureau decided to intervene in this case.

"Ah?" The criminal deputy team was woken up as if he had just finished a daze, pulled his hair, pulled his collar, raised his spirits, pondered for a moment, and said: "What you said is very good, I basically have nothing to add. But—" he said Turning around, he looked at Li Zan, who hadn't spoken much the whole time, "Can I ask Captain Li, why did Zhang Xi appoint you to help her?"

Li Zan stared at the table in a daze, and didn't hear the question from the criminal deputy team at all.

Sitting next to him, Chen Jie quietly pushed Li Zan's arm: "Captain Li! Capt. Li! Wake up, the Deputy Criminal Division of the City Bureau is asking you something!"

Li Zan came back to his senses, pouted his nose, and asked quite aboveboard: "What did you just say?"

The criminal deputy team didn't answer, and the subordinates beside him who were also from the city bureau rolled their eyes with some dissatisfaction. They had heard that the Dongcheng branch was a "nursing home". I thought that the 'Nursing Home' had finally risen, but I didn't expect that other people in the branch were quite energetic, but the captain of the criminal investigation team was in a daze the whole time.

Also very unprofessional.

The vice-deputy's good-natured repetitive questions.

Li Zan: "I don't know."

Criminal Deputy Team: "You don't know?"

Li Zan shaved his chin, and said uncertainly, "Maybe I have a great reputation, and Zhang Xi came here because of my reputation?"

The criminal police of the detachment thought to themselves, not only not very professional, but also very shameless.

Li Zan shrugged his shoulders: "Don't have any expectations, I'm also confused now. Zhang Xi's series of actions are obviously abnormal. Her, or 'they''s real purpose may be the Wrangler Clubhouse, the people behind the Clubhouse, or It’s about saving the trafficked women, it’s not me anyway. I’m just an unimportant bridge, maybe because of the smooth resolution of previous cases, Zhang Xi thinks I’m a trustworthy and capable ‘policeman’. All in all, I’m not important .”

The criminal deputy team thought about it and said: "It makes sense. Then tell me what case you are handling recently?"

"There's something to say." Li Zan regained his energy at the moment, and he was wondering how he should make a report to deceive Bureau Tong to persuade the Municipal Bureau to recognize this serial murder, so as to link several districts to carry out a blanket search for suspicious murders.

"Everyone, don't leave, listen to my conjecture, discuss and cooperate together, work together to solve the case, and build a harmonious society together. That's how it is. It starts with two murders in the suburbs..."

Following Li Zan's eloquent introduction, in addition to the old fritters in Dongcheng District who were already accustomed to being present, the criminal police of the city bureau were in a daze. It was impossible to imagine that apart from Zhang Xi's difficult case, Li Zan had a lot of troubles in his hands. There are still tricky cases suspected of serial murder.

How did this come together?Do you Dongcheng District like to buy one get one free?Do you all like big scenes?Isn't there any case that is easy, simple, and clear-cut vendetta or love murder?

Hearing the end, the young criminal policemen didn't react, and the experienced criminal deputy team had already lay down, and it took only a few ten minutes to accept from despair to numbness.

What else can he do?Shouldn't we work together to solve the case?

"The above is the case we are investigating." Li Zan: "Originally there were not enough manpower, but with the full support of the talented City Bureau, and the assistance of the shrewd, resourceful and experienced colleagues in the detachment, I believe that we will continue to work together again." There are more than enough cases in your hands.”

Li Zan licked his lips, and said kindly and kindly like a father: "Deputy Captain, you can see that you are directly related to the Municipal Bureau. Going to work is like going home. When you go home, tell your family a thing or two. In other words, go back and cooperate with each district to search for suspicious cases, without proof, just leave it to us in Dongcheng District to identify."

After thinking about it, Li Zan added: "It's all about serving the people."

The criminal deputy team was expressionless, and Tong Ju turned his face to one side and drank tea as if he didn't see it. He was happy to see the result in his heart, because it felt good that he didn't have to type up the application report.

Li Zan: "Deputy squad?"

Vice-team criminal: "I'll mention it. I don't guarantee it will work. This is your guess, Captain Li."

Li Zan smiled, "It's enough to mention one thing."

With these two cases settled for the time being, the detachment and sub-bureau have all cheered up, started high-intensity work mode, acted urgently, launched investigations, and tried their best to hand over answers that satisfy the masses before the public opinion reached a boiling point.

Because of the sudden accident and the seriousness of the public opinion, the masses, the media and the provincial government are all paying attention, and even the central government is paying attention to the far south.Zhang Xi specifically named Li Zan. This case was also handed over to Li Zan to the outside world. In fact, the city bureau sent several old criminal policemen to assist.

At the same time, the higher authorities gave the green light and strictly required all parties to fully cooperate, and must solve this case perfectly in the shortest and fastest time!

Li Zan, who was burdened with the heavy pressure of the difficult murder case and the expectations of everyone, was the person with the least sense of urgency in the bureau. He followed the steps step by step, did not see any anxiety, and did not see any action. He only reviewed some cases in the office. message.

Chen Jie ran to him and asked, "Captain Li, are you not in a hurry?"

Li Zan turned his pen nimbly, and said relaxedly: "The heavier the pressure and the more difficult it is, the more you have to learn to relax yourself. Only by relaxing your emotions can you find the thread from the mess."

Chen Jie had a headache when she heard it. Anyway, she couldn't relax. She was very anxious and in a bad mood right now.

"Boss, is it possible that Zhang Xi's death is related to Han Jingwen's murder?"

"I don't know." Li Zan sighed, "I'm really not sure."

Don't know, can't be sure, doesn't mean it's impossible.

Chen Jie heard Li Zan's implication, nodded her head, and said to Li Zan when she remembered something, "By the way, the restoration of the skull and face of the bones has been completed, and the technical investigation is investigating the records of missing persons three years ago, and it should be found soon." The identity of bones."

Li Zan: "You are in charge of follow-up, and remember to pass on the results to me."

Chen Jie: "OK."

After going out, Chen Jie went to the technical investigation department, and received a WeChat message on the way. The other party asked her if she was free at noon and wanted to invite her to lunch.

She stared at the picture of a bright sun on the WeChat profile picture for a while, and remembered that this person was Fang Mingxu who she met in the K bar a month ago.

In the past month, Fang Mingxu has only been in her circle of friends. Because Chen Jie occasionally sees a psychiatrist to calm down her mood, she has an inexplicable relationship, but this is the first time that the other party has taken the initiative to ask her out.

Considering that she was busy with work, Chen Jie was about to refuse, but suddenly remembered something, deleted the words of rejection, and changed it to accept the invitation.

'What time?Where? '

After sending it out, Chen Jie knew she would receive a reply, but she didn't read it.

Sliding the phone into her pocket, Chen Jie took a deep breath against the blank and clean wall, and let it out again. After the breath was calm, she took a calm step and devoted herself to the busy work of solving the case.

**

The city bureau held an emergency meeting. Cheng Weiping received a conjecture report from the criminal deputy team about the serial murder case. After a moment of silence, he replied: "I will consider it."

After speaking, he entered the meeting room.

Everyone was discussing the case of "human trafficking" that Zhang Xi blurted out before his death. Some people focused on controlling public opinion and minimizing social impact in a short period of time.

Some people advocate that it should be sparse and should not be blocked. The police must correct their attitude and let the public see the transparency and openness of the progress of the case. Especially in terms of media and public opinion, they should not be forced to block, but should be properly guided to avoid malicious exaggeration of facts by malicious people and cause impetuous people. .

"Human trafficking has stepped on the bottom line of the people's humanity. Now the public opinion conveys the anger of the people towards the traffickers, the sympathy of the victims, and the people's trust in the country and the government. Whether the members of the Jingjiu Horse Herding Club participate in the human trafficking is a matter of decision. It is a ticking time bomb, once spread or exploited by those who want to, the reputation will be backlashed to a terrible level.” The deputy bureau considered: “Zhang Xi’s request for Li Zan’s help is tantamount to trusting the police. In this regard, the public opinion is still controllable .”

"I'm afraid that everything we do now is to scare the snake away. The tighter the public is watching the case, the police will handle the case transparently, but the pressure and resistance will inevitably be great."

"Many people are powerful. Comrades from all districts work together and help each other, and we will definitely be able to solve the case as soon as possible."

"I heard that the Dongcheng District Criminal Investigation Office still has a pile of unsolved murder cases... Can they really solve the case?"

"Haigang and Hangshui Street drug cases have been handled well, and Li Zan's ability lies there. He may have been inexperienced in the past few years, but his strength is still there. Give him more trust."

……

Listening to the opinions of all parties, the case is not yet at a critical moment, and everyone is quite relaxed.

Cheng Weiping nodded, and made a final conclusion: "Just do as you say." After a pause, he mentioned a serial murder case, emphasizing that it is still uncertain, "But what to do? Anyway, it is investigation and handling. By the way, we cooperated with Dongcheng District to handle two cases. The difficulty is a little bit, and everyone takes it as a challenge."

"..."

Looking around, no one spoke, Cheng Weiping was very satisfied: "If you don't object, you agree, everyone has worked hard!"

The meeting ended quickly and simply, and things were settled like that.Despite the hard work, all districts of Yuejiang City actively cooperated and mobilized the police force that could be mobilized to cooperate with the Dongcheng District Bureau to solve the case.

**

Next to an old community in Xinzhou District, the parking place on the road.

There is a small car in the middle of a row of cars, and the front of the car is facing a small banyan tree.The car window was pulled down, one hand rested on the side of the car window, and a lit cigarette was sandwiched between two fingers, the thin milky white smoke curled up, blurring into translucent under the blazing sun.

Jiang Heng was in the driver's seat, and Li Zan was smoking in the co-pilot.

Jiang Heng: "Quit smoking."

Li Zan: "I can't quit."

Jiang Heng: "Smoking one less cigarette every day, there will always be a time when you can quit. If you can't take it anymore, eat something else instead." After finishing speaking, he dug out a bottle of candy from the glove box, took one out and put it in his mouth , Passed one to Li Zan by the way: "Like you used to, you never touched cigarettes for a week, and smoked like crazy when the ban was lifted. It's strange that your lungs are not bad."

Li Zan wanted to say that his lungs were in good shape, but his throat became inexplicably itchy, and he couldn't help coughing a few times, which fully proved Jiang Heng's remarks.

Jiang Heng took out a thermos from the glove box and poured some pear syrup for him: "Drink some, moisten the throat and lungs."

Li Zan put out his cigarette, took the sugar and pear syrup, stuffed the former into his pocket, drank the latter, and it tasted pretty good.

"What are you doing here?" he asked.

Jiang Heng: "What is Captain Li doing here? That's why I'm here."

Li Zan: "I'll investigate the case, don't make trouble."

Jiang Heng: "I'll help you."

Li Zan: "Nonsense."

There was a little silence, and Jiang Heng was lying on the steering wheel and his shoulders were trembling with laughter. His slightly long hair was combed back on his head and tied with a small tie.The hair tugged and shook, and a few strands of untied hair slipped down to his fair cheeks. Jiang Heng smiled and rolled his eyes. The silkworms were clearly lying under the long and narrow eyes of his smile, which made him look like a fox, adding a little bit of temptation to people. mean.

Li Zan pretended to look away naturally, staring at the inconspicuous stains in the corners of the front window, and blinked, as if he couldn't ignore the frequency of his heart beating in an instant.

"What are you laughing at? Is it so funny?"

Jiang Heng shook his head: "It's nothing funny, but when you say something occasionally, I always suddenly feel happy, and I can't find the reason for being amused." He said frankly: "Maybe it's because I like you, so as long as you Talk to me and I'll be happy."

In normal times, Li Zan would definitely be indifferent, but I don't know if the sequelae caused by the disordered heartbeat just now made him feel uncomfortable now.

He writhed like fleas growing on his body, and then changed the subject bluntly: "Are you investigating Han Jingwen?"

Han Jingwen's parents lived in the old residential area in front of him for decades. Li Zan came to investigate Han Jingwen in depth. While walking slowly on the sidewalk, he met Jiang Heng who honked his horn on the road to attract his attention, so this scene happened.

"Yeah. I think he's a breakthrough." Jiang Heng: "Han Jingwen is the trainer of the horse-grabbing club. He has a certain reputation. He may not know Zhang Xi, and he was killed three days ago. Zhou Boxue and Hu Gaofei also know him. , I have seen them chatting, and it seems that there is a dispute over Han Jingwen's death."

Li Zan: "What is the specific dispute?"

Jiang Heng: "They mentioned Han Jingwen's death at the time, and Hu Gaofei was vigilant and scared, as if it would be his turn next. Zhou Boxue mentioned that Han Jingwen had offended many people, and sooner or later he would be sought for revenge. He also pointed out that Hu Gaofei and the others liked to play compulsion. , and he pays both money and goods, what he did was not a bad thing."
