Special Case Investigation Team VI

"Did your friend sell you the explosives or did you steal them?" Cheng Jin didn't stop the interrogation because Lao Peng pleaded guilty, but continued to ask some unresolved questions.

"I stole it."

"When did you have the idea to kill Wu Junxiong?"

"I had this idea when he lied to me and lost a lot of money." Lao Peng probably accepted the reality, and now he looks numb. "After I found out that I got sick from taking his company's health products, my thoughts became even stronger. When I happened to visit Lao Tian, ​​I saw that he had explosives there, so I stole a box."

"Then?"

"After Wu Junxiong said he was going to sue me for illegally transferring property, I thought, then I must kill him. He forced me."

"You keep talking."

"I started making bombs. I was still short of detonators. Because I knew Lao He had some detonators in his collection, I went to his house to steal some."

"How exactly did you steal it?"

"His dog was lost. He went out to look for the dog. There was no one at home, so I went in."

"Is the loss of his dog related to you?"

"Well... I asked someone to steal it."

"Who did you ask to steal it?"

"Just, a random dog thief - I don't know his name, I gave him a few hundred dollars to steal Lao He's dog."

"how much is it?"

"……five hundred."

"The person who stole He Mingzheng's dog is Jiang Xingrong, you should know him."

"Yes, but I don't know his name."

"Jiang Xingrong is also a guest of the dog fighting arena. All the dogs he stole were sold to the dog fighting arena. By the way, he is now missing."

"I don't know about his disappearance. I believe in the explosion. Don't blame me for his disappearance."

Cheng Jin and Lao Peng continued to ask and answer, and Yang Simi looked at them with his chin resting.

Cheng Jin kept staring at Lao Peng. Lao Peng seemed a little dull as if he had been drained of energy. Every question Cheng Jin asked him, he had to think for a few seconds before he could give an answer.

"Why did you open the window when you left the fighting warehouse on Saturday night?"

Lao Peng was stunned for a moment, and said: "...for no reason, I just pushed it away."

"..." Cheng Jin was also stunned, fortunately he had been thinking about this question for a long time.

Yang Simi squeezed his shoulder comfortingly.

Coming out of the interrogation room, Cheng Jin remained silent. He seemed not happy to solve the case, but seemed to be held back by a new problem.

Yang Simi reached out and shook his hand in front of him: "Is your soul still there?"

Cheng Jin rolled his eyes and said, "Si Mi, what kind of person do you think Lao Peng is?"

"Vanity, blindness, cowardice."

"Hmm." Cheng Jin thought, gambling is vanity and blindness, buying and eating health care products indiscriminately is blindness, being randomly assigned by Wu Junxiong is cowardice, creating a large-scale explosion is...?

"I think he pleaded guilty under your instigation." Cheng Jin said, "At that time, he was suppressed to the point where he felt that he didn't deserve to live. In that state of extreme self-loathing, if he stood on the roof, would you If you let him jump off a building, he will jump, so he will plead guilty."

"Anyway, he pleaded guilty." Yang Simi said indifferently.

"What if he retracts his confession when he 'sober' tomorrow?"

Yang Simi looked innocent: "Then stimulate him again?"

"..."

Xia Licheng walked over. Unlike Cheng Jin, he was all smiles and looked beaming.He said: "Since Lao Peng has pleaded guilty, then the suspicion of He Mingzheng has been cleared, can he be let go?"

He Ming is the one who dares to single-handedly confront capitalists like Wu Junxiong. Xia Licheng is a little afraid that he will find trouble with the Public Security Bureau in the future, such as going to the media to expose the police forcibly detaining him for no reason—he does not know the kind of media like Ms. Meng worker?It's better to be polite to him.

Cheng Jin thought for a while, then nodded: "Let him go home first, and call him over later if he is still needed to assist in the investigation."

He asked again, "Have those two boxes from his house been brought over?"

Xia Licheng was helpless. Why did Cheng Jin still remember this? The murderer had already confessed.

"...It's moved here, and it's still under inspection."

"Ah."

He Mingzheng came out of the detention room and was very happy to learn that Xiaokang had been found.

Xiaokang was in the Public Security Bureau at the moment, the police took He Mingzheng to see his dog, and Xiaokang, who was still far away from the cage, pricked up his ears and barked.

Huo Yuan looked at Xiaokang, then looked at the direction it was looking at, and then smiled: "Uncle He!"

After the two sides met, He Mingzheng patted Huo Yuan on the back, then bent down to touch the excited Xiaokang in the cage.

Cheng Jin looked at them from a distance, then turned around and went to the office to find You Duo.

Seeing him coming, You Duo immediately said: "Fang Yan didn't use the GPS on his phone to navigate on Saturday. What is known so far is that he returned to the rescue center at eight o'clock in the evening, put down the injured Xiaokang, and left until the early morning. Then I went back to the rescue center again."

"Yeah." Cheng Jin looked at the current time, it was almost eight o'clock after seven o'clock in the evening. "Wait a minute, I'll call Han Bin first."

Han Bin is still at the Animal Rescue Center, but he said that work is almost over there, and they haven't found any human bones.

Since there were no human bones at the rescue center, Fang Yan should have disposed of the corpse in another way.Cheng Jin continued his conversation with You Duo: "Have you asked him where he went from eight o'clock to the early morning?"

"He said he went to a rescue event: some dog owners and animal protection activists spontaneously organized to stop a dog truck, and he went to help." You Duo said, "It seems that he and He Mingzheng and Huo Yuan went to the same place."

On Saturday night, He Mingzheng and Huo Yuan also went to the scene where the dog truck was intercepted.

Cheng Jin: "Go, ask them."

Come to He Mingzheng and Huo Yuan.

Cheng Jin first asked: "Huo Yuan, have you seen Fang Yan before today?"

"I haven't seen it." Huo Yuan was a little puzzled, and then explained to He Mingzheng, "Fang Yan is the one who saved Xiaokang. He is doing animal rescue. Last Saturday evening, he was picked up by Jiang Xingrong in Lilin Park." I saved Xiaokang. If I had known that Xiaokang was still in Jiang Xingrong's hands, I could have rescued him sooner."

"Who would have thought of this." He Mingzheng comforted Huo Yuan, and then thoughtfully, "Fang Yan, his surname is Fang, is it Xiao Fang?"

He looked at Cheng Jin: "Is that Xiao Fang whose phone number I gave you before?"

Cheng Jin nodded.

He Mingzheng frowned, and said puzzledly: "Xiaokang is with him, so why didn't he tell me? Is there any special reason?"

Cheng Jin: "He said he didn't recognize that it was Xiaokang - when Xiaokang was rescued, he was seriously injured, so he asked the doctor to pluck him for treatment. Hairy dog ​​without thinking it's your dog."

"Oh, so that's the case." He Mingzheng seemed to believe Fang Yan's words.

"Did you see him at the scene where the dog truck was stopped on Saturday night?" Cheng Jin asked.

He Mingzheng: "I see, he also helped settle a group of dogs."

"I was far away at the time, so I didn't see clearly." Huo Yuan looked at He Mingzheng and said nervously, "Uncle He, I'm sorry, I went out with you that night."

He Mingzheng was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Why do you follow me?"

"You seldom go out at night, I'm a little worried about you."

He Mingzheng sighed: "I know you mean well, but don't do this again in the future. If you are curious about some of my behaviors, you can ask me directly."

"I see."

Seeing that the two of them finished talking, Cheng Jin asked again: "Mr. He, do you remember when Fang Yan arrived at the scene of intercepting the dog truck on Saturday night?"

"It was about ten o'clock when I got there, and he was already there at that time."

"Then when did he leave?"

"He hadn't left when I left. I didn't leave until after 12 o'clock."

"OK, thanks."

Back in the office, Cheng Jin said, "So during the period from eight o'clock to ten o'clock, Fang Yan went somewhere to dispose of the suitcase and the corpse."

"It should be." You Duo opened the map on the computer and marked out the key locations, "This is the rescue center, and this is the place to intercept the dog trucks. The normal driving time is about half an hour, and a very long detour can be made in two hours. , enough to circle around half of Changzhou."

"So it's impossible to estimate the approximate location where he dumped the body, so let's check the monitoring honestly." Cheng Jin said, "It happens that the investigation of the bombing case is over, so let's watch the monitoring together."

Bu Huan rubbed his eyes: "Oh, my eyes hurt when I hear the surveillance."

Cheng Jin looked at him: "Then you go and send He Mingzheng and Huo Yuan home."

"Oh, good." Bu Huan got up, stretched and walked towards He Mingzheng.

In the end, He Mingzheng said that he didn't need to send it off, and a friend came to pick him up.

Bu Huan had no choice but to return to the main army and continue to do the monitoring work.

Cheng Jin asked: "Who will pick him up? Neighbors?"

"I didn't ask, he decided not to send me off and came back."

He Mingzheng and Huo Yuan pushed the dog cage to the gate of the Public Security Bureau.

"Uncle He, I'm sorry," Huo Yuan lowered his head and said, "I, I actually approached you on purpose at first..."

He Mingzheng didn't speak.

Xiaokang in the cage looked at He Mingzheng and Huo Yuan with his tongue out.

Huo Yuan continued: "After I came to Changzhou, my sister asked me to work with Mr. Wu. Whether it was my sister or others, everyone said Mr. Wu was very powerful and amazing. In fact, I didn't think what they did was a good thing at the time. , but everyone is doing it, I think I can’t do it if I don’t follow suit...

"I approached you, but actually, I wanted to harm you...I'm sorry, Uncle He, I'll move out when I get back. Thank you for taking care of me for so long. Really, thank you very much..."

He Ming was looking at Huo Yuan who lowered his head: "How did you plan to harm me?"

"...to sow discord between you and your neighbors, so that they no longer trust you, and no longer join you in opposing demolition."

"Childish." He Mingzheng sighed, "What did you think at that time, you have to follow others when they do bad things?"

"If it's better to be a bad person, why not be a bad person?" Huo Yuan said, "Like my uncle and uncle, they took away the money left by my parents and treated me and my sister so badly, but they He is not guilty at all and lives a very good life; like Mr. Wu, he has done so many bad things, but he has become a powerful big boss; like Lao Peng, he obviously sells fake meat, but his stall still sells name, don’t worry about guests.”

He Mingzheng shook his head, and asked, "Why didn't you want to be a bad guy after that?"

"Later, I found out that being an upright person can actually lead a good life, no, it's a better life - you won't feel uncomfortable, have a clear conscience, and feel at ease." Huo Yuan raised his head and looked at He Mingzheng with reddish eyes, "Just I think it's good to be like you, Uncle He."

"I'm just an old man who runs a grocery store with no skills." He Mingzheng said, "You are a child, you still have ideals."

"Well, I'm going to be an editor, I'm not going to run a grocery store like you."

He Mingzheng smiled: "That's good——"

At this moment, a small red car stopped by the side of the road, and the driver interrupted their conversation: "He Bo, Huo Yuan. Oh! Is this Xiaokang?"

"Sister Meng." Huo Yuan greeted the other party.

"Yes, Xiaokang has been found." He Mingzheng said with a smile, "Can't you fit this cage in your car?"

"It seems that I can't put it down, how about it, let the dog out, remove the cage and put it in the trunk."

After placing the cage, Miss Meng returned to the driver's seat, Huo Yuan took the co-pilot, and He Mingzheng and Xiaokang sat in the back seat.

"How did you find Xiaokang?"

"Didn't you give me the contact information of a young man surnamed Fang before? It was Xiao Fang who helped find Xiaokang."

"Oh. Xiao Fang is not bad. He actually helped find Xiaokang. It must have taken a lot of effort." Ms. Meng said, "It happens that I want to do a special story on animal rescue recently, so I will find him again. do it."

Ms. Meng knew Fang Yan because she had interviewed him before.

He Mingzheng: "Maybe not for the time being, he is now called by the Public Security Bureau to assist in the investigation of the case."

"Huh? Wu Junxiong's bombing is related to him?"

"I don't know." He Mingzheng said, "I hope it has nothing to do with him."

"It's not the bombing case," Huo Yuan said hesitantly, "it's another case."

"What case?" Miss Meng asked.

He Mingzheng interjected: "If the police don't let you tell the outside world, then don't tell. You'll know what's going on when the case is solved later. Don't be in a hurry."

Ms. Meng smiled and didn't ask any more questions. She took the initiative to change the subject: "Huo Yuan, I see that the videos you posted on the platform have a very high number of views. It's almost [-]. You only sent a few videos to achieve this result. Pretty awesome."

"No," Huo Yuan was very embarrassed, "it was the police who helped to promote it..."

He told the whole story.

"Oh, it turned out to be looking for Xiaokang, and that's because your videos are of high quality, so if you don't promote them, you won't be able to promote them." Miss Meng said, "Huo Yuan, do you want to come to our internship? The money won't be a lot , but should be able to learn something."

Huo Yuan looked at He Mingzheng.

He Mingzheng said: "It's very good to go to your place for an internship. I was just thinking, wouldn't it be better for him to finish high school and go to university first?"

"Well, it's best to finish school first. It's much more convenient to have a degree." Ms. Meng said, "Then go to school first, and after you're admitted to university, you can do an internship with us while going to university."

"What do you think?" He Mingzheng looked at Huo Yuan, "Do you want to go to school?"

After Huo Yuan was silent for a while, he said, "Uncle He, do you really want me to go to school, or do you want me to move away? If I don't go to school, I will move out."

Um?Miss Meng looked at him, and then at He Mingzheng through the rearview mirror.

"When did I ask you to move away?" He Mingzheng said with a smile, "You are going to high school now, and you can go to Changzhou. I will help you find a school, but you may not be able to find a very good school. In terms of learning, you have to rely on You worked so hard yourself."

"Okay, I'll go to school." Huo Yuan smiled, "I will work hard."

Ms. Meng smiled and encouraged: "Well, come on! I think you are very smart, you can learn things quickly, and you will definitely be able to pass the university entrance exam."

At the Public Security Bureau, Cheng Jin and others were working overtime to watch the surveillance. Han Bin didn't join them when he came back. He went to the forensic room.

Yang Simi was not included in the scope of labor resources, but he did not interfere with Cheng Jin, he went downstairs for a run.

Cheng Jin, on the other hand, was a little restless, and would go to the window to look at the playground below every few minutes.

Some local police also noticed Yang Simi exercising on the playground:

"Has he been running for a long time? His stamina is too good. Is he a marathon enthusiast?"

"I don't know. But his specialty is psychology, and he almost broke the suspect in the interrogation room before."

"Psychologists are still exercising their physical fitness so hard. It's too curly. This doesn't give us a way to survive."

"Maybe people are just thinking about psychology—some people like to think while walking, and maybe some people like to think while doing high-intensity exercise."

"Ah, is that so?... Poisonous, I almost believed your evil."

in the office.

In the beginning, the work of checking the monitoring was actually okay, you just need to stare at Fang Yan's license plate and look along the surveillance cameras on the road, but the trouble is that Fang Yan will hide from the monitoring, such as driving the car In the monitored alleys, at this time, you can only try to find it at various intersections that are monitored in the distance. This is the part with the largest workload and is extremely inefficient.

At one o'clock in the morning, Cheng Jin said: "Let's call it a day, go back and rest, and continue tomorrow."

Xia Licheng said: "I will arrange people to work overtime at night, and let them take a day off tomorrow."

——Assembly line operation, two shifts.

Cheng Jin agreed: "Okay, it will be more efficient."

Cheng Jin first went downstairs to look for Yang Simi on the playground.

Yang Simi was doing pull-ups, and when Cheng Jin approached, he let go and walked to Cheng Jin's side, his hair was soaked and dripping water, and his face was also wet under his hair, because of the strenuous exercise , the skin was pink, and the water droplets slid down the skin and hair ends, and dripped onto the semi-wet clothes.

Cheng Jin looked at him, and after a while, he unscrewed the mineral water in his hand and handed it to him: "Add some water."

Yang Simi drank half of the bottle of water, poured the remaining half on his face, then brushed his hair back, lowered his head and rubbed the water on Cheng Jin's shoulder to dry his face.

Cheng Jin hugged him and smiled.

Not far away, Ye Lai and others came out of the building, and Cheng Jin patted Yang Simi on the back: "Let's go."

Yang Simi didn't move.

Cheng Jin smiled: "I carry you?"

Yang Simi looked up at him: "You'd better save your energy and use it later."

"..."

After meeting with everyone, Han Bin walked up to the two of them, and Yang Simi looked at him.

"..." Han Bin came to talk about work, "After DNA comparison, it was confirmed that Fang Yan was the owner of the third blood that appeared at the fight scene in the park. The footprints and fibers found in the bushes at the scene were also confirmed to be From his shoes and clothes."

——Although Fang Yan himself admitted that he had fought with Jiang Xingrong, the outcome of the case is determined by the evidence, so the examination of the evidence must be done well.

Cheng Jin nodded, indicating that he understood.

"One more thing, the forensic laboratory received a new blood sample." Han Bin explained this in detail.

"Is it such a coincidence?" Cheng Jin turned to look in the direction of the Public Security Bureau after listening.

Yang Simi: "What are you looking at? Do you still want to go back?"

"...No. I was thinking that Xia Licheng should already know about this, why didn't he tell me?"

"I probably want to wait until the results come out to tell you." Han Bin said, "The blood is still being tested, and we don't know who it came from yet."

Back at the hotel, everyone said good night to each other and went back to their rooms.

Cheng Jin put on his slippers silently, opened the suitcase, took out a change of clothes and put them on the bed.

Yang Simi looked at him: "Are you in a state of cold violence again?"

"..." Cheng Jin laughed and said, "I'm thinking about what Han Bin said just now."

"Don't think about it, you will know tomorrow." Yang Simi took off his shirt and walked to the bathroom, showing smooth back muscle lines during his movements, "You are not tired enough, so you can't stop murmuring."

Cheng Jin watched him drop his shirt and walk into the bathroom topless.

Yang Simi, who had just stepped into the bathroom, took another step back. The wet, curly black hair on his snow-white neck rose and fell. He turned to Cheng Jin and stretched out his hand: "Come."

Cheng Jin stepped forward as if hypnotized by a siren.
