never forget [criminal investigation]

"Hey, brother Xiang, here! This way!"

In a hot pot restaurant not far from the pharmaceutical factory, Xiang Hai found a table by the window, and watched from a distance a man wearing a pharmaceutical factory uniform, whose height and appearance matched Zhang Xiang’s description, with his hands in his pockets go this way.

When the man entered the door, Xiang Hai stood up and waved to him enthusiastically.

Hearing someone calling him, Zhang Xiang turned his head and saw a young man with yellow hair waving to him with a smile through the hot white air.

He raised his chin towards Xiang Hai and walked over.

"Brother Xiang, I'm Qian Le." Xiang Hai rubbed his hands, "Sit down, it's cold today, it's just right to eat hot pot."

Zhang Xiang sat down opposite him, looked up and down, "Qian Le... how did you and Zhang Hui meet?"

"Brother Hui works at the racetrack. I have nothing to do when I have nothing to do. I like to watch the excitement, so I always go to the racetrack to have fun. I get to know Brother Hui after coming and going." Xiang Hai said while giving him a warm welcome. pour water.

Zhang Xiang is 27 and [-] years old, looks lazy, of medium height, neither fat nor thin, neither ugly nor ugly, with a common face.It is a pair of front teeth that are slightly crooked, which is a bit conspicuous when speaking.

He took a sip from the cup and asked again, "Why do you think of asking him to introduce you to a job?"

"Hey, I like to play mahjong. I was chatting with Brother Hui the other day, and we started talking about mahjong. He said that he just played with you the night before. Good guy, you're very lucky, and now you're living I am also living in a chic way. I am so envious."

"I'm poor now, and I almost forgot what 100 yuan looks like." Xiang Hai stroked his long bangs, with an expression of admiration on his face, "So when I heard Brother Hui say that the pharmaceutical factory is doing well now , If you give more money, I will be tempted."

"Brother Xiang, you are rich and powerful, and you are familiar with people here, for Brother Hui's sake, please help me!"

Zhang Xiang didn't make a sound, just smiled, with some pride in the corners of his eyes and brows.

Seeing this, Xiang Hai hurriedly handed over the menu, "Brother Xiang, I don't know if you can eat spicy food, so I ordered a mandarin duck pot. The leftover meat, vegetables, seafood, you can order whatever you want!"

Zhang Xiang took it and flipped through it casually, "You're too polite, I'm so embarrassed."

"It should." Xiang Hai chuckled.

"Where did you work before?" Zhang Xiang lowered his head and asked while drawing on the self-order menu.

"I don't have a job." Xiang Hai held his water glass pitifully, "That's why I'm poor."

Zhang Xiang raised his head, "Then how do you live? Who will support you?"

Xiang Hai scratched the yellow hair on his head, "I used to rely on my parents, but after they are gone, I just... rely on my brother."

He pursed his lips, "I live with my brother, he supports me and gives me pocket money. But recently he has a partner, and he always urges me to find a job quickly, and then move out from him."

"But it's not so easy to find a job." He rested his chin on his face, with a resentful expression on his face, "I don't have any special skills, except that I can play mahjong. You can't let me carry bricks and sieve sand, I am a thin-skinned and tender-skinned person ..."

Zhang Xiang glanced up at him and closed the menu.

Xiang Hai smiled sweetly, "So, Brother Xiang, just help me!"

In Dongjiang at the end of September, people who are afraid of the cold have already put on cotton clothes.

The sky, which had been cloudy since the morning, was as heavy as if it was about to be buckled upside down by the afternoon.

Without sunlight, the temperature drops out of thin air.When it was time to get off work, it finally started to rain.

The cool rain was blown by the slanting wind, as if it fell into the cracks of the bones, except for the warm blood in the chest, even the breath was icy.

It was completely dark outside the window, only the cold white light of the street lamps reflected on the wet road.

It was already past the off-duty time, and the branch office building was still brightly lit.

In the multi-functional conference room, the captains of each detachment headed by Xu Feng were all sitting upright, staring intently at the big screen in front of them.

The large screen was divided into several squares of different sizes, each of which exuded a chilling aura.The people inside all had stern expressions, with straight police uniforms and silver stars shining on their shoulders.

"Comrades, the situation is urgent. Let me make a long story short." It was the director of the city bureau who spoke, "Just an hour ago, Huang Tao, a prisoner in the No. [-] Provincial Prison and the No. A construction worker was killed, disguised and assumed his identity, and escaped from prison."

"This person's criminal methods are cruel, and the circumstances are very bad! If such a person is allowed to flow into the society, it will inevitably become a huge hidden danger that endangers social stability and the safety of the lives and property of the broad masses of the people."

"Moreover, the National Day holiday is coming. During this critical period, any hidden risks are not allowed to exist."

"Therefore, I request that the city bureau, each sub-bureau, and the special police squadron cooperate to carry out a search and arrest throughout the city. Huang Tao must be brought back to justice in the shortest possible time!"

Speaking of this, the director's tone was a little slow, and he made a gesture of invitation, "Next, I invite Comrade Yuan Guoping, the warden, to sort out the process of Huang Tao's escape for everyone. I hope everyone can enter the role as soon as possible."

After speaking, the camera changed, and he retreated from the largest square on the screen to a small square next to it.A man in his fifties took his place and appeared in the center of the screen.

"Comrades..."

Xing Yue was sitting in the back row of the conference room, thinking about that Huang Tao, when he heard the word "Yuan Guoping", he raised his eyes.

He is the leader of the Provincial No. [-] Prison, the warden who rocketed up from the Mingzhou Prison?

This person has a square face, glasses on the bridge of the nose, and square brows.Although he is getting older, it can be seen that when he was young, he should belong to the type that women like more.

"Huang Tao, male, 39 years old, is from Qinghe County under the jurisdiction of Changqing City. He was sentenced to 20 years in prison for the crime of intentional injury causing death, and began serving his sentence in the Provincial No. 2013 Prison on November 11, 20. ..”

Xing Yue continued to stare at the big screen, but was not listening to Yuan Guoping's speech.

Huang Tao's background is too familiar to him, it can be said that he knows it by heart.

Because this person was the first major case he solved with his master after he joined the criminal police team of the sub-bureau, and he was also the first murderer he personally arrested.

Unexpectedly, after a few years, this person returned to his sight in this way.

But that's not the point.

At this moment, the lingering question in his mind is, what is the relationship between this Yuan Guoping and Zhao Lang, or Huo Yan?

He Kun was able to get out of prison smoothly, this person played a key role.At that time, Zhao Wenyu was kidnapped, and Zhao Lang went to the prison to meet He Kun in person.After that, the application for medical parole that was stuck was successfully approved.

It can be said that it is a stroke of God.

If it was a coincidence, ghosts would believe it.

Xing Yue squinted his eyes, looking at the serious expression on the face of the person on the screen, opening and closing his mouth.

Suddenly, a strange thought popped into his mind: Huang Tao, how did he escape?

The mobilization and kick-off meeting for rounding up Huang Tao ended, and Xu Feng left Xing Yue alone.

"Xing Yue, you must have an impression of this Huang Tao."

"Yes." Xing Yue stood up straight.

Xu Feng smoked a cigarette, his eyes darkened, "You are responsible for this matter, take your people and set off immediately, fully cooperate with the deployment of the city bureau, and make sure to arrest this person as soon as possible."

"In addition, pay attention to safety, and report to me in time if there is any news."

"Yes!" Xing Yue saluted.

"Well, let's go." Xu Feng patted him on the shoulder.

Xing Yue turned around and went out.

The rain is not too heavy, but it has been falling.

The lights of the cars lying quietly in the sub-bureau compound were all turned on.Under the staggered lampposts, people's shadows shuttled back and forth, and rain streaks flew randomly.

There were some small puddles on the ground, and footsteps kept rushing in and leaving in a hurry.

"Everyone is here?" Xing Yue stood beside the police car, opened the door, and glanced at the silhouettes under the rain.

"Report! It's ready!" Qin Peng stood straight on the other side of the car, tightening his coat.

As soon as the words came out, they became a cloud of white gas.Like the coordinates in a rainy night, more like the smoke that rises when the starting gun is fired.

Everyone is looking this way.

"Let's go." Xing Yue got into the car and closed the door.

The doors slammed shut one after another.

Qin Peng started the car, sounded the siren, and rushed into the rainy night first.

Just after leaving the gate of the branch office, Xing Yue's cell phone rang.It turned out to be Cui Zhendong.

"Hi, Da Cui." He picked up the phone.

"Team Xing, Huang Tao has escaped! Are you joining the siege?" Cui Zhendong spoke loudly, and the background was noisy, and he could hear the station announcement reminding passengers to prepare for ticket inspection.

"Yes. Have you arrived at the train station?"

"Yes, everyone has been arranged, and I'm going to the bus station soon!" Cui Zhendong seemed to be running forward, his voice and breath were equally hurried.

"Captain Xing, I have a situation here to synchronize with you." He finally found a relatively quiet corner and stood still, "Huang Tao was raped because his wife was raped, and then killed that man's father by mistake." Sentenced."

The case was handled by Xing Yue at the time, but Cui Zhendong was also in the sub-bureau, so he knew all the details.

Back then, Huang Tao and his wife came to Dongjiang to work, and they rented a bungalow.One day when he came home from get off work, he felt something was wrong with his wife.After questioning, I found out that a fellow villager surnamed Wang, who lived next door and came out with them, came to Huang Tao's door and raped her while he was out working.

Huang Tao was so angry that he opened the door and went to settle accounts with that surnamed Wang.

As a result, the man was not at home, and only blocked his father, Lao Wang.

Not surprisingly, the two quarreled.After arguing and arguing, they moved their hands.As a result, during the fight, Huang Tao's brain became hot, he picked up a kitchen knife and hacked Lao Wang to death.

Cui Zhendong went on to say, "Last month, Huang Tao's wife came to see him and brought a divorce agreement and asked him to sign it. He signed it without saying a word. Ordinarily, the matter is over."

Cui Zhendong paused, "In the end, I don't know who told him. It turns out that the person his wife is going to remarry is the one surnamed Wang who claimed to 'rape' her back then."

Xing Yue frowned.

Cui Zhendong sighed, "I think this is why he tried his best to escape from prison."

Xing Yue pressed his forehead.

"Besides, there's another thing," Cui Zhendong's voice flickered from far to near, and he probably switched his other hand to hold the phone, "The person from the construction team didn't actually die, he was hit twice with a hammer by Huang Tao, and he was seriously injured. But it has been rescued, and it should not be life-threatening."

Xing Yue squeezed the phone tightly, "Are you sure?"

"Sure." Cui Zhendong did not hesitate.

This is a bit mysterious.

As the person in charge of the incident, Yuan Guoping had no reason to be unaware of the victim's life or death.Now that he knew it, why did he say that he had been killed by Huang Tao in front of all the policemen.

Killing people and causing serious injuries are two completely different results.

If it was really "cruel means of crime" and "very bad circumstances", then during the round-up process, as long as Huang Tao believed that he was desperate and stubbornly resisted, he might be shot dead on the spot.

But what if the fact is that he has a way out?

So, is Yuan Guoping's purpose to bring Huang Tao back, or do he want him to die outside?

"Team Xing?"

"Oh, I'm here." Xing Yue recovered.

There was a whirring sound in the receiver, Cui Zhen turned around and faced the wind, "Captain Xing, I have to withdraw."

He clasped the phone with his hands and lowered his voice, "There is one last situation, which may not be related to this case, but I still want to tell you."

"The renovation project of the prison area in the No. [-] Prison was left behind by the previous warden. The contractor and construction team for the project have already been appointed, and the construction is about to start."

"But later, the warden suddenly passed away because of his poor health."

"The construction project was delayed and was not restarted until last month."

"Because the contract that should be signed has already been signed, so..." Cui Zhendong paused, "The new warden can only continue to implement the original contract."

"But suddenly something like this happened, and the engineering contractor must also be held responsible. I'm afraid the renovation project will be stopped..."

People on both sides of the phone fell silent tacitly.

This kind of project is a fat job. Only by replacing all the predecessors can the oil and water really fall into one's own pocket.

Another gust of wind broke the silence, "Then what, Captain Xing, stop talking, I have to leave quickly."

Cui Zhendong started to run, "If you have any news, let's contact at any time!"

"Okay. Thanks, Da Cui!"

"Be careful on your side too!" Cui Zhendong said hurriedly, and hung up the phone.

The rain falling on the car windows has already formed a line, and Qin Peng speeds up the frequency of the wiper swing.

"Captain Xing, shall we continue running to the highway entrance?" He glanced to the side and saw Xing Yue sitting there, holding his phone, frowning slightly, wondering what he was thinking.

Xing Yue didn't make a sound.He is thinking fast.

Soon, he made a decision, "Go to the riverside, Songpu Wharf."

"Yes." Without hesitation, Qin Peng immediately accelerated and turned at the intersection ahead.

Huang Tao's hometown is in Qinghe County, not far from Dongjiang.

His ex-wife was there, and so was the one surnamed Wang.All the hatred in his life is in that place.

Coincidentally, Qinghe County is also near the river.

"Songpu" is a small pier, where boats will go down the river and reach the Qinghe River.

With such a commotion, Huang Tao should know that railways and land routes are dead ends for him.Unless he stayed in Dongjiang, as long as he wanted to leave, return to Qinghe, and take revenge, the only way out was the waterway.

Xing Yue had a premonition that something would be gained at Songpu Wharf.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the temperature was approaching freezing point.

He rubbed his hands.

Tonight is destined to be another sleepless night.

After eating the hot pot, Xiang Hai and Zhang Xiang stood at the door of the restaurant, shivering from the cold wind.

"Fuck, it's so fucking cold." Zhang Xiang wrapped his overalls tightly.

"It's raining heavily." Xiang Hai shrank his neck, and put the hood of his hoodie on his head, "Brother Xiang, why are you leaving?"

Zhang Xiang put his hands in his pockets and raised his chin into the rain curtain, "My house is nearby, and I'll be there in a few short steps. What about you?"

Xiang Hai sniffed and pointed in another direction, "I came by bicycle, the car is left over there."

"It's raining so hard, you still ride back?"

"Yes." Xiang Hai said with a bitter face, "What if I don't ride back, I don't have the money to take a taxi."

When Zhang Xiang heard this, he seemed afraid that he would open his mouth to ask him for money to take a taxi, so he hurriedly said, "Then, be careful on the road."

"I'll call you when I get a message later."

"Okay!" Xiang Hai rubbed his hands and smiled at him, "Then I'll leave it to Brother Xiang!"

"It's easy to say." Zhang Xiang waved his hand at him, covered his head, rushed into the rain, and ran away.

When he was far away, Xiang Hai ran towards his broken bicycle.

Braving the wind and rain all the way, riding back to the parking lot, Xiang Hai was shivering from the cold.

He wiped the cold rain off his face, threw the bike into the trunk, and quickly got into the bike.

"It's freezing to death, it's freezing to death." He started the car, turned the heater to the maximum, and his teeth were still "clicking" against each other.

The wet wig stuck to his head like a piece of rotten rice cake, Xiang Hai grabbed it and threw it aside.

He snorted his hair, took out his phone and sent a message to Xing Yue.

- Brother, are you home yet?

Two minutes passed, and Xing Yue didn't reply.

Thinking that he had to return to the game anyway, he simply didn't wait.

Along the way, there were constant police cars whizzing by.The sound of sirens made this rainy night even more restless.

Xiang Hai was puzzled and looked at his phone again.The group was very quiet, neither Xing Yue nor Zhou Xun moved.

When I returned to the branch office, I found that all the offices were brightly lit, but the parking lot in the courtyard was already empty.

"what's the situation?"

He jumped out of the car and ran upstairs.After passing the criminal investigation office, I found that the door was open and there was no one inside.

When I got back to my office, I saw Zhou Xun sitting there, smoking a cigarette and holding his cell phone.

"Team Zhou!" Xiang Hai walked over, "Why are you alone, what about everyone?"

Zhou Xun raised his head and realized that it was him, so he said "um", and suddenly remembered that he hadn't seen him all day, so he asked, "Where did you go during the day? Why are you only here now?"

As he spoke, he noticed his outfit again, and frowned, "What are you wearing? It's a mess. Can't the pants be lifted up? The crotch fell off the feet, isn't it uncomfortable?"

Xiang Hai had a good time, and lifted his trouser waist, "Captain Zhou, do you think I'm trendy?"

Zhou Xun curled his lips, "It's very tide, it's so tide that it's dripping water."

Xiang Hai took the cup to pick up a cup of hot water and held it in his hand, "Captain Zhou, I think the bus downstairs is empty, what happened? Where did everyone go?"

Zhou Xun picked up his cigarette again and continued to swipe on his phone, "Someone escaped from the No. [-] Prison, and all the criminal investigators have gone out."

Xiang Hai felt a "thump" in his heart, quickly put down the cup, and took out his phone to look at it.

"Don't look, Xing Yue is busy and has no time to talk to you." Zhou Xun didn't raise his head, "What did you do today?"

That being said, Xiang Hai still turned on his phone silently and swiped back and forth for a long time.

Xing Yue really ignored him.

Zhou Xun stared at him for a long time, and finally couldn't help but tap on the table, "Hey, hey, it's almost done. After a while, the screen sparked."

Xiang Hai had no choice but to put away the phone.

Looking at his worried expression, Zhou Xun felt inexplicably familiar.

By the way, isn't Xing Yue like this sometimes?

So he kindly reminded, "Xiang Hai, it's one thing that you two brothers have a good relationship, but don't learn everything from Xing Yue."

"He came up with a burst of hypocrisy, like a little daughter-in-law." Zhou Xun clicked his tongue twice, "If you are like that, I will die."

Xiang Hai quickly adjusted his expression, sat down opposite Zhou Xun, and said with a serious face, "Captain Zhou, I have something to report to you."
