Swallowing the Seas

"Oh, you mean Peng Wan?" The duty manager of the amusement park area rubbed his hands and laughed, "No, she is not our employee, but she has been working here for more than a month, so..."

Wu Yu's first reaction was: "Part-time job?"

"No, her company is our supplier, so their department is responsible for installing and maintaining some amusement equipment." The manager stood at the office window, pointing at the rushing torrent through the glass window: "Look For example, the slide, the carousel, the ghosts in the haunted house, and the rows of fixed seats on the big pendulum...Of course our suppliers are not the only ones, but their company is responsible for updating a batch of equipment recently, so Peng Wan and the others You have to come to work in our park every day. As for the outstanding employees, we haven’t reviewed them internally at all. They are all for tourists to see. She and the people in the area of ​​the haunted house jumping machine work together every day, and the relationship is relatively good. Everyone goes to the wall together. .”

"..." Wu Yu was speechless: "You guys manage KPI too casually, don't you?"

"Hey, what you said, we are a public institution at least!" The manager rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "If you pay more attention to the notice board in our park, you will find it. All of our staff are excellent employees. Let's take a picture together." Putting it there for tourists to see, it seems that our park is very civilized!"

Wu Yu and Bu Chonghua looked at each other, neither of them knew what expression to make.

No wonder the Public Security Bureau didn't know that the hostages were working in this amusement park until now after investigating the case.

——Then why did the kidnapper choose to hand over the hostages here? Because of Peng Wan, or did the kidnapper himself have some connection with this amusement park that the police didn't discover?

"How is Peng Wan's personality, popularity, and behavior?" Bu Chonghua asked with a frown.

"I don't have much contact with her at ordinary times, but I heard that she is good, otherwise how could we have cooperated for so long." The manager's tone was very affirmative. I have never asked any questions; I am very popular, friendly and kind, and I have never had any red faces with other colleagues; I have not heard of any strange and superb things, as far as my usual impression is concerned. Ordinary female employees... Hey, I can't remember many of them for a while, do you have any specific things you want to know?"

Wu Yu asked, "What about daily expenses?"

"The expenses are also normal. You ride an electric bike to and from get off work and carry a small cloth bag. Everyone is an ordinary person with a family and a family."

"Didn't your money suddenly become more abundant recently?"

"Ample? You don't have any." The manager Zhanger Monk was puzzled, looking back and forth at the two criminal policemen in front of him, and finally couldn't restrain his surging curiosity: "So you two came to ask her what she was doing, is Peng Wan?" Did something happen?"

Wu Yu said: "No, it's mainly about money..."

"What? Money?" The manager was shocked, "Didn't I recognize that her electric car is a Rolls-Royce, and the small cloth bag is Hermes?!"

Wu Yu: "..."

manager:"……"

The middle-aged and bald male manager in his forties looked at Wu Yu eagerly, his face full of excitement and joy that he finally had something to do in his ordinary life. If this was a cartoon, he would already have a girlish look at this moment. starry eyes.

Wu Yu sighed, and said politely: "No, no, look at your overall demeanor, just like Hermes."

The manager was taken aback, but was embarrassed by the sudden compliment: "Where is it, if I were Hermes, you must be Chanel!"

"The amusement park manager and employees said that she has not behaved abnormally recently, and her own colleagues in the company have also called. No matter in terms of money, words, manners, and behavior patterns, she is an ordinary 34-year-old white-collar woman. Get noticed." An hour later, the two finally finished their cross-examination and walked out of the amusement park, Bu Chonghua turned his head: "What do you think...Wu Yu?"

"Well?"

Following Wu Yu's gaze, Bu Chonghua saw the colorful cotton candy sold by a small stall at the entrance of the amusement park.

"...do you eat, Chanel?"

Wu Yu swallowed straightly: "Forget it, even you have to control your calories to keep in shape, so I will..."

Bu Chonghua smirked, and squeezed straight into the crowd, holding up a big pink cloud and squeezed out in a short while, and handed it to Wu Yu's hypocritical and weak refusal, "It's okay, eat, so what if you can't keep it, Can we still leave?"

Wu Yu immediately let go of her psychological burden and licked the cotton candy.

The two drove the G63 back to the Nancheng Branch. Wu Yu sat on the passenger seat with cotton candy in one hand, and flipped through the equipment docking records between Peng Wan and the amusement park with the other. Down the brakes: "Peng Wan's work in the past two months, the general summary is to place orders with the company's internal factories or external suppliers on a regular basis and on demand, and then transport them to the water amusement park for equipment installation and debugging. The main projects are haunted houses and indoor elevators. , The ghost building jumping machine. This job has a certain technical content, so it is not easy to find someone to replace her, and the job is relatively stable."

Wu Yu didn't say anything, closed the thick record book for a while, and sighed silently.

"what happened?"

"I'm thinking of Peng Wan."

When the green light came on, Bu Chonghua turned his head to look at him when he stepped on the gas pedal: "What do you miss about her?"

Wu Yu reflexively wanted to touch the cigarette, but he was reluctant to part with the marshmallow stick, so he gave up the cigarette just as Bu Chonghua expected, biting the tip of the stick with his teeth and saying, "I'm thinking about how I would live my life if I were her. Go on. The father is not a thing, the mother is gone, the husband is cheating, the mother-in-law is difficult, and the father-in-law is addicted to money; after being kidnapped, except for the husband pretending to say a few words of love, the whole family is crying. This word seems to have never existed. Everyone mentions her as 'friendly, kind, and hard-working', and the person who has the least sense of existence in the group and is the easiest to ignore personal will is exactly her kind."

"But this kind of person is making amusement park facilities, or stimulating equipment such as haunted houses, lifts, and jumping machines from ghost buildings." Wu Yu leaned his head on the back of the car seat, and shook his head, whether it was a bit sad or absurd, he said: "Yes. I don't know if she really likes this job."

Bu Chonghua was silent for a while, and said in a low voice for a long time: "It's just work."

"That's true, but it's too weird." Wu Yu frowned in ecstasy: "The kidnappers chose this place to exchange ransom, and the ransom of 44... I always It doesn't feel like this number is a death notice, but I can't figure out what it means."

——444444, die die die die die, is there any other special metaphor?

Even Bu Chonghua couldn't do anything, Wu Yu pinched Shan Gen wearily: "If the two of us can figure out the meaning of this number, maybe the case will be solved."

The G63 made a turn under the hazy city sky, roared into the Nancheng Public Security Bureau, and stopped under the criminal investigation detachment building.

Out of the corner of his eye, Bu Chonghua glanced at no one around, leaned over to unbuckle Wu Yu's seat belt, and asked, "What are you doing up there now?"

"I want to find someone to see if I can call up the detailed background materials of Peng Wan, Ding Sheng and Deng Le. Are you with me?"

Bu Chonghua straightened up and looked at him, shaking his head: "Peng Wan's childhood file involves Wan Changwen, they won't let me read it, for fear that I will cause trouble alone - but there is one thing you need to ask later. remember."

"what?"

"If you find a clue, tell Liao Gang or Bureau Song privately, and don't say it immediately in front of everyone."

Wu Yu's eyes changed slightly, and he suddenly understood the deep meaning he hadn't said yet.

"The kidnapper called at 25:10 and asked to surrender. The whole detachment was dispatched at 30:[-]. The kidnapper was shot dead at [-]:[-]. Who else knew that Ding Sheng and Deng Le were on the river beach? The detachment arrived at the scene at [-]:[-]. A comprehensive search was launched at eleven o'clock, and the kidnapper's car and two bodies were found at twelve o'clock, and it took an hour and a half for so many people with dogs, how did the murderer accurately locate Ding Sheng, Deng Le, and two people and shoot them dead?" The two looked at each other at close range, and Bu Chonghua's voice was low and dignified: "Even Xu Ju only found out that the kidnapper was going to surrender on the river beach on the way, that is to say, not many people got the news at the first time, why? The murderer moved so fast?"

Wu Yu frowned: "But you can't be sure that the murderer learned from the police that the kidnapper decided to surrender. You have to think that if Wan Changwen is really involved in this case, then his people should have been tracking Ding Sheng in sync with the police. Deng Le and the two..."

"I'm not sure, but I can't dispel my doubts." Bu Chonghua approached Wu Yu's ear and said softly, "If there is a problem internally, the problem must be in the technical investigation."

At this time, a policeman came out from the building, and Bu Chonghua pulled back a few inches. The two looked at each other in the narrow compartment, and then Bu Chonghua nodded and got out of the car.

·

"Xiao Wu is back?" "Hey Xiao Wu!" "Angkor!"...

There were people coming and going in the criminal investigation building, Wu Yu was not used to receiving so much attention as soon as he appeared, he mumbled twice and walked quickly to the office, when he suddenly heard a familiar voice behind him: "Wu Yu!"

When he turned around, it was Lin Hao.

Lin Hao and Wang Jiuling were discussing something while going upstairs, and he ended Wang Jiuling's side in a few words, patted Director Wang on the shoulder, and strode towards Wu Yu across the corridor: "What did you do this afternoon? "

——"If there is a problem internally, the problem must be in the technical investigation."

Wu Yu's eyes tightened slightly, but it was only a detail that didn't last half a second, and then he said flatly, "I went to the Water Amusement Park."

Lin Hao walked up to him and stopped: "Did you find any clues?"

"No."

"The step detachment is with you?"

The two just faced each other and stared at each other. They were within half a foot of each other. Colleagues passed by in groups, and the noise of people gradually faded away.

Wu Yu said: "Yes, he is with me."

Lin Hao put his hands in his pockets, nodded thoughtfully, as if he was meditating on something.

If Bu Chonghua, like Jiang Ting, is the kind of person who is not afraid to show his edge, Lin Hao is the complete opposite of them, rarely showing deterrence.His attire is basically the same all year round: shirt, semi-formal trousers and moccasins, or suit trousers and semi-formal leather moccasins; many people who meet him for the first time think he is just a pair of exercise Pay more attention to, rigorous and careful office clerical work.

But the police who have been dealing with drugs at the border for a long time, even the office staff and even the logistics, are very different from their colleagues in the mainland.Wu Yu had seen the scene where Lin Hao picked up a submachine gun in a hurry and started to sweep at the truck when he was besieging the shark gang a year ago. The long ammunition chain emptied in less than half a minute. Familiar people don't have this kind of speed.

In addition, Lin Hao behaved very gentle in front of Wu Yu most of the time. Both of them knew that the other had a side similar to themselves, and they were used to hiding half of their legs in the dark behind them.

"Let's be together." Lin Hao paused kindly, and said, "But if you have any clues, you must tell everyone as soon as possible, otherwise no one will be able to catch up with the speed of the infantry team. It is too dangerous to go alone. .”

He took out a box of cigarettes from his trouser pocket, and was about to pour out two, but Wu Yu moved faster and poured out two from his own cigarette box: "Smoking?"

Lin Hao's gaze paused, and it fell on the cigarette in Wu Yu's hand. At that moment, the air between the two of them was frozen.

Then I saw him say "Oh?" in a dull way, and said unexpectedly: "This is the first time you gave me cigarettes, I'm flattered. When the special situation team was still there..."

"It's not allowed to smoke other people's cigarettes casually?"

"Not really." Lin Hao seemed to be recalling something, and let out a sigh of relief: "But I only smoked Zhang Boming's."

"Is it easy to smoke?"

"It's okay, Yunyan."

Wu Yu said, "It's much easier to smoke than my cigarette."

Lin Hao never took his eyes off the cigarette in Wu Yu's hand, only to see his Adam's apple slipped, and then he laughed: "You can't say that...how can the meaning be measured by the price."

As he said that, he finally took the cigarette, bit it between his teeth, and was about to touch the lighter, but there was a soft click in front of him, and Wu Yu had already lit it.

"If you are willing to help me retrieve all the detailed information of Wan Changwen and Peng Wan, I can also order it for you."

Lin Hao raised his eyes, and his two deep eyes looked at each other, only to see the flame beating faintly in the depths of their pupils.After a while, Lin Hao put his lighter back into his trouser pocket, biting his cigarette and laughing: "Okay, why not?"

The flames and the cigarette butts were separated immediately, Lin Hao took a puff of smoke, and signaled Wu Yu to come to the office with him, with a seemingly indifferent expression: "But don't show it to the infantry team. It is reasonable for the superior to ask him to avoid it. Because of the strong hatred that affects professional judgment, the avoidance at the detection stage is only a protective mechanism."

Wu Yu said, "I understand."

Lin Hao opened the door and gestured please.

Lin Hao belonged to foreign aid in the Nancheng Public Security Bureau. According to his specifications, the office is very simple. It is incomparable to the fact that there are always guards outside the Internet Investigation Office of the Yunnan Provincial Department.He turned on the computer and applied for a temporary permission, and after a while beckoned Wu Yu to come over and sit down: "You just watch my background, don't take it out."

"Is everything here?"

"I can't say everything, but this is all I can get in touch with." Lin Hao raised his eyebrows: "Anyway, the important thing for you is only the content of her before she was four years old, isn't it?"

He was right, both of them knew it well - Wu Yu's biggest target was not Peng Wan, but Wan Changwen, her father who threw her into the water when she was four years old.

Wan Changwen's family's ancestral grave is in the north, but he married his wife and made his fortune in drug production on the coast. When Peng Wan was born, Wan Changwen had already made his first fortune by refining high-purity methamphetamine.After that, his business expanded rapidly in just six months. He built a seaside villa with a secret passage leading directly to the port, and a speedboat was parked on the shore all year round; as long as he heard the siren approaching the village, he could evacuate from the villa in just 30 seconds. He arrived at the port along the secret road within 4 minutes, and the speedboat entered the sea within 6 minutes. In terms of the maritime anti-drug capabilities of the 80s, he could not even catch his hair.

As for Peng Wan, although Wan Changwen is extremely patriarchal, his daughter was not picked up after all. Before the age of four, he should have lived a very rich life.According to the information on the intranet, there were as many as 22 helpers in Wanjia Villa back then, who were responsible for housework, cooking, gardening and driving. up.

But all this luxury and luxury came to an abrupt end when the police raided the drug manufacturing village 30 years ago.At that time, only a few escaped from the whole village, and Wan Changwen was one of them. He opened the secret passage inside the villa when the armed police forcefully entered the village. He had already taken his wife, children, and two confidant masters in the drug workshop to the speedboat, and when he was about to escape, he discovered a fatal problem——

overloaded.

Because there are fifteen kilograms of gold hidden in the bottom of the speedboat, which is the capital for Wan Changwen's plan to flee to Myanmar and make a comeback.

"It's hard to find a poison maker. My wife is an adult and she will yell and resist, so I can only throw the child away first." Wu Yu sighed and sat back in the chair: "And the four-year-old girl weighs about fifteen A kilogram is equivalent to exchanging his daughter's life for an equivalent amount of gold bars."

"Yes." Lin Hao said, "But Wan Changwen probably didn't expect that when he threw his daughter into the water, his wife jumped too... Later, his wife was sentenced to probation but was not actually executed because of the lack of key criminal evidence. And his wife was pregnant at the time."

"Peng Wan has younger siblings?"

"No, stillbirth. I guess it has something to do with falling into the water."

Wu Yu nodded and said nothing, lost his mind for a moment, and suddenly said in a low voice: "Not necessarily."

"What?" Lin Hao didn't respond.

"Wan Changwen didn't necessarily think that his wife would jump off with him. Because he wasn't sure how much weight he had to throw before the speedboat could sail."

The surroundings suddenly fell into silence, neither of them said a word, only a trace of chilling malice spread through the office slowly through 30 years.

It took a long time for Wu Yu to sit up and exhale: "Beasts know how to protect their children. Once people are exposed to drugs, they are really worse than animals."

As soon as he touched the mouse, the corners of his eyes moved slightly, and he felt a secret gaze cast from his side——Lin Hao.

Lin Hao was observing him with cold and careful eyes, not letting go of any slightest change in his face.

Wu Yu remained calm and said nothing, turning to the next page on the screen.It was all kinds of miscellaneous information transferred from Peng Wan's company-five social insurance and one housing fund, reimbursement records, salary, benefits and bonus performance, internal orders she signed and equipment mentioned, park projects she had cooperated with, and customer docking The name of the personnel... Some of the matchmaking records Wu Yu had already read in the water park manager's office, but after reading all the work resumes at this time, I realized that most of the connections Peng Wan had made before were merry-go-rounds, music rafting, flower swings, etc. Soft and soothing facilities, this is the first time I have received exciting and frightening entertainment projects.

Wu Yu turned to the next page, but the mouse suddenly stopped, and then returned to the previous page, staring straight at the densely packed rows of numbers.

Haunted house, indoor lift, jumping machine from ghost building.

A hazy guess suddenly came to mind, causing Wu Yu's eyes to change slightly.

What kind of person is Peng Wan?

She looks at these cheerful children held by their parents in the amusement park every day, what will she think in her heart?

Lin Hao narrowed his eyes sensitively: "What's wrong with you?"

"...It's nothing." Wu Yu looked a little dazed, got up and waved at him: "I'm going to the bathroom."

"Wait!" Lin Hao pulled him hard: "Did you find out? Don't act alone!"

"I'll go to the bathroom and tell you..."

"Tell me before you go to the bathroom!"

Wu Yu flicked his hand away: "What are you doing, diarrhea!"

Lin Hao: "..."

Lin Hao was dumbfounded, watching Wu Yu rushing out of the office without turning his head, and said in amazement, "Don't I deserve you to think of a better reason to dismiss me?"

Wu Yu hurriedly rushed across the corridor, the vague guesses were like a mess, and the threads were faintly visible in the depths of the mist, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't reveal the truth.Not far away, Liao Gang stood at the door of the technical investigation office, watched him coming from a distance, and stretched out his hand to stop him from saying anything, but was blocked back by Wu Yu's stern gesture of silence, and he choked up on the spot, Watching him pass by and rush downstairs to the big office of the Criminal Investigation Detachment.

"Infantry detachment!"

A tall and familiar figure was standing at the top of the stairs, and it turned out to be Bu Chonghua when he turned his head. As soon as he saw Wu Yu, he immediately said, "I have something to look for you!"

"I have it too!" Wu Yu strode forward, and the two quickly rushed out of the corridor side by side. trip."

"what happened?"

"—there may really be ghosts hiding in that haunted house."

Bu Chonghua's footsteps stopped suddenly, one hand was still in the posture of pulling out the key to open the G63, and the two looked at each other.

"...We have to go to the port area." Bu Chonghua's voice was tense, and the increasingly dark and hazy sky weighed heavily on the roof of the Nancheng District Public Security Bureau: "Ding Sheng's Weibo account was launched in the port area 10 minutes ago. , now only I know, and in 3 minutes this news will be spread throughout the team through the Internet detection alarm.”
