Special Case Investigation Team IV

After a while, people from the Public Security Bureau came and took the body away.Before they left, Cheng Jin chatted with them and left them his phone number.

When Cheng Jin came back, Beifeng asked him, "How is it?"

Cheng Jindao: "Now I only know that the person who jumped from the building was a local, and the reason for the jump is still unclear. I'll let Ye Zi pay attention to this matter."

Jing Xingzhi looked at him with a smile, as if looking at something strange, "You have to take care of this kind of thing, you won't be afraid of exhaustion."

Cheng Jin said, "I just want to know what's going on."

Beifeng looked at the sky and said, "The helicopter can't come today. Let's go, let's go now, we can rest for a while when we get to the bottom of the mountain, get enough energy in the evening, and go up the mountain tomorrow. If the helicopter can fly tomorrow, then let the helicopter pick us up at the bottom of the mountain .”

Bu Huan asked, "Is the luggage here?"

Beifeng said: "Well, the conditions on the mountain are not good, no matter how many things you bring, it's useless."

Bu Huan said with a smile: "Water and food are enough."

"There are."

Since it was still necessary to rely on physical strength to go up the mountain, Xiao An was left to help Ye Lai and You Duo, and the others left Qingyang City by car.The car prepared by Beifeng has a driver, so they don't have to drive by themselves.Beifeng said that they were not used to driving on the icy road here, and it would be more reliable to find a local driver.

The journey went smoothly, and it was less than eight o'clock when we reached the small village at the foot of the mountain.

Everyone got out of the car in full arms, and the wind and snow hit their faces, and they all squinted their eyes.

"This way." Beifeng led them into a private house.

The door of the house is an iron door, which is tied with a rubber belt. Once someone enters, the door will automatically close as soon as the hand is released. It should be to prevent someone from forgetting to close the door or the door is blown open by the outside wind, allowing cold air to flow in. .

The house doesn't look big from the outside, it's just a small one-story house. After entering, there is something strange inside: the house is actually two floors, but one floor is underground.

As soon as you enter the door, there is a short corridor first, and then there are stairs in front. When you go up the stairs and walk up the corridor, you find that the middle section of the corridor is suspended. Looking down, there is another floor below, and there is a large space. There is a large living room that can hold five or six large round tables, and there are rooms on both sides. It seems that the basement has been dug quite spacious.

Everyone first went to the room to put down their backpacks and disarm them. The temperature in the room is not bad, so there is no need to wear thick coats.It was a room with a queen bed, no, the fire pit took up half of the room.

Cheng Jin glanced at it without thinking much.Jing Xingzhi smiled at him, "Tongpu... Can you get used to it?"

Beifeng said: "Just put the things here first, I will ask if there is any room later."

Cheng Jin looked at the bed, there were several quilts, since there was one quilt for each person, why not get used to it?It's not like everyone is in the same bed. "It's okay, you don't have to pay so much attention when you are away from home."

Jing Xingzhi said: "Hey, what a pity." I don't know what he is pitying, no one asked him.

Bu Huan was also quite concerned about the issue of the bed, he thought to himself, it would be better to have three rooms here, or just this one room at all, he was not interested in Sleeping Scene Xingzhi or the North Wind.Hey... Why isn't Han Bin here? If Han Bin is here, I don't have to worry about it.

Beifeng said: "Let's go, eat first."

There are stairs in the corridor leading to the downstairs—that is, the basement. After going downstairs, Cheng Jin saw a small counter near the wall at the bottom of the corridor, "Is this actually a hotel?" He didn't see the sign outside.

"Well, it's a hotel." Beifeng sat down at the table and asked the boss to serve.

The dishes are served quickly, and they are all ordinary Northeast home-cooked dishes, with a rough style.Everyone is not picky about food. No matter what dish is served, they will eat it with the rice. In fact, the rice is a bit rough, but no one said this, and they are not here to taste the food anyway.

After eating, everyone got a bowl of boiled water to drink.Beifeng asked about the boss's room, "Is there any spare room?"

The boss looked at them, "How many rooms do you want?"

Bu Huan hurriedly said: "If there is no trouble, there will be three rooms. I am used to sleeping alone. But forget the trouble, I can make do with it."

Jing Xingzhi leaned back with a smile, leaned against the wall, touched his bowl, and tapped it with his nails.

The boss looked at Beifeng, but unfortunately he couldn't tell the answer from Beifeng's face. He hesitated and said, "There is a room..."

Jing Xingzhi smiled and said, "As long as there is."

Beifeng didn't say anything about the room, but said: "There is water here, you can take a bath." The implication is that there is no way to take a bath on the mountain.

Everyone has nothing to do, and tomorrow they have to get up early to go up the mountain, so they went back to their rooms early to rest.

Cheng Jin and Yang Simi lived in the room they went to at first.Bu Huan got his wish and slept alone on the large kang.

Cheng Jin asked Yang Simi, "Is the boss here from our department?"

Yang Simi said: "Come to help temporarily, usually no one will guard this kind of place."

"Yeah." Cheng Jin said, "Take a bath?"

Yang Simi took his hand, "Come on, we need to save water."

Cheng Jin smiled, but did not object.

It's good to be able to take a shower, but there is a problem. I don't know if the water pressure is insufficient. Whether it is the faucet or the shower, the water output is very small, which makes washing very uncomfortable.

In terms of sleep, the kang is big and warm, but this is just the beginning. In the middle of the night, the temperature gets higher and higher, waking up the people on the kang.Woke up to check the time, it was still early, so I could only make do and continue to sleep.

At five o'clock, Cheng Jin heard the sound of water next door, thinking that the north wind must have risen, so he got up too.

Everyone left the room at about the same time.We greeted each other in the hallway and went down for breakfast.

Breakfast is porridge, pickles and steamed buns. The pickles are very salty, and a small dish is enough for five of them.

Beifeng said: "Wait and sit on the sledge."

"Yeah." I heard Bei Feng said this before.

A sledge is a sled.The one that Beifeng found was a horse-drawn sledge. There were two rows of crude seats, which could accommodate six people.

The driver was a local master, who greeted them to sit down, and then drove the horses to run.

Although everyone was wearing thick clothes, after a quarter of an hour, the cold air began to seep into the clothes.The eyelashes on the scarf were covered with a layer of frost due to exhalation from the mouth and nose.

Cheng Jin looked at Yang Simi's long white eyelashes, and held his hand through thick gloves.Yang Simi turned her head to look at him, "What are you laughing at?"

Cheng Jin forgot his feelings for a moment, ignoring the surroundings, "You look good when you laugh." Yang Simi looked at Cheng Jin unblinkingly with black and white eyes under the white eyelashes.

Jing Xingzhi, who was in the row behind them, laughed and interrupted their affectionate gaze, "It's still so fun to come out with you."

"..."

Jing Xingzhi laughed for a long time and didn't stop. Yang Simi was in a good mood and looked at Cheng Jin not caring about him, but Beifeng said impatiently: "Not enough laughing? You are very noisy."

"Okay, stop laughing." Jing Xingzhi then stopped.

After going around several valleys and passing through a large forest, after more than half an hour, the horse stopped, and the driver said: "This is the only way to go."

Everyone got out of the car and looked forward. There was no road ahead, only rough mountain roads.

Beifeng said: "Thank you for your hard work, you can go back."

"Be careful all the way." The master pulled the horse and turned around, and quickly ran away.

Beifeng said: "Do you want to take a rest first?"

"No, after sitting for so long, it's time to exercise."

At the bottom of the mountain, the trees are all bare, the leaves have all fallen, only the gray branches are left, and there is no snow accumulation. From a distance, it looks like a flat-headed mountain, which is not very attractive.But halfway up the mountain, the species of trees changed. Here are all evergreen fir and pine trees. Snow is piled on the trees layer by layer, as if they were dressed in white dresses. Lights, hang holiday decorations and they make the prettiest Christmas trees ever.

Beifeng looked at the time, he had been walking for almost two hours, "We will take a rest, drink some water."

Everyone stopped, found a fallen tree nearby, swept the snow off the tree trunk, sat down to rest, took out the thermos cup in the backpack, and drank some water.

Jing Xingzhi grabbed a handful of beef jerky, each threw a few over, and said, "Cheng Jin, give me some candies." He knew Cheng Jin must have some.

Cheng Jin grabbed a handful and was about to hand it over, but Yang Simi grabbed Cheng Jin's hand, picked out the flavor he liked, and then let go.

"Yang Simi, you are so generous." Jing Xingzhi took the candy from Cheng Jin, and held it to Beifeng beside him, "Come on, let you pick first."

Bei Feng stared blankly at the front and wondered what he was thinking. Hearing this, he looked away, and frowned when he saw the colorful candies in Jing Xingzhi's hand, then took one, peeled it off and put it in his mouth.Jing Xingzhi thoughtfully took back the candy wrapper from his hand, "Do you like blueberry flavor?"

Beifeng looked at him coldly.

Jing Xingzhi smiled and said, "During the break, is it okay to chat?"

Bei Feng looked away and continued to look at the snow ahead.

Jing Xingzhi smiled, and turned to look at the others.Cheng Jin is helping Yang Simi tidy up his scarf.Bu Huan was taking pictures with his mobile phone, and Jing Xingzhi looked at him. He smiled and said, "Take some pictures, and let Xiaoan and the others see the snow scene when I go back. My hard work is not in vain."

Jing Xingzhi said, "Take a group photo for us."

"Okay." Bu Huan turned the phone to this side.

Beifeng raised his eyes, "Deleted."

"Okay." Bu Huan immediately moved the phone away, and made a helpless expression to Jing Xingzhi.

Beifeng said: "Almost gone?" He looked at Cheng Jin and Yang Simi.

Cheng Jin said, "Let's go."

After another hour of walking, someone came to pick them up, not a helicopter, but two snowmobiles.

Bu Huan said: "Do you still have this thing?"

Beifeng said: "It took a lot of effort to drive up the detour." The road they came from was very long, and snowmobiles could not be driven, so they had to take a long detour.

The two drivers took off their helmets, Cheng Jin saw that one was Lao Zhong, and he had not seen the other.

Old Zhong said: "Who will come with me? I can carry two people."

A snowmobile carried two people, and there was one more person.Jing Xingzhi said to Beifeng, "I'll pay you for waiting a while?"

Bei Feng said: "Then you wait here by yourself."

Jing Xingzhi smiled and said, "Then I'll take a step first." He quickly got on a snowmobile and waved to Bu Huan, "Hurry up."

Cheng Jin looked at Beifeng hesitantly.

Beifeng said: "Go ahead first, you will be there in 10 minutes." Cheng Jin nodded, and got on Lao Zhong's snowmobile with Yang Simi.

Indeed, it only takes 10 minutes, the snowmobile is very fast, shuttles quickly through the woods, circles up, and soon sees a flat snow field with a wooden house on it.A drift, the snowmobile stopped in front of the cabin.

Old Zhong said: "That's it."

Jing Xingzhi jumped out of the car, "This motorcycle is quite interesting. Can you lend me a ride?" The driver of his car took off his helmet and handed it to him. "Thank you." Jing Xingzhi got into the car skillfully, circled on the flat ground, then opened the accelerator, and drove away with a buzzing sound, "I'm going to catch the north wind!"

Old Zhong frowned and stared at the direction where he disappeared, "What's wrong with him? How can it be his turn to pick up people?! Liangzi, why did you give him the car?"

The man he called Ryoko scratched his head, "I thought he just wanted to ride."

Bu Huan patted Lao Zhong on the shoulder, "Whatever, your boss knows it well."

Old Zhong's expression softened a little, "Come in and sit down."

Cheng Jin said: "The weather is good today." He looked around, and he didn't feel it when he climbed the mountain. When he got here, he found that the sun was shining, the sky was blue, and the snow was very white. When it fell on the face of the person, it turned into water vapor and disappeared without a trace when it was slightly cooled.

Yang Simi was looking at another snowmobile, and it looked like he really wanted to ride it.

Cheng Jin grabbed him, and entered the wooden house with Lao Zhong and the others, "Where are the Tianshi and the others?" The wooden house is not big, just two rooms, without a basement.There is a stove outside, and a long narrow kang is built along the wall connected to the stove. It is so narrow that it can only be used as a stool, and it is very warm to sit on.There is a big kang in the room, which can sleep about six or seven people.

Old Zhong sat down on a small wooden bench by the stove, "They were still outside, they went out yesterday afternoon. We were also outside, knowing that you were coming, so we came back to meet you."

Cheng Jin pulled Yang Simi to sit by the window, where the sun was shining, "What, do you have any clues?"

Old Zhong said: "I found some marks they made, but no one has found them yet."

There was the sound of snowmobiles outside, and Cheng Jin looked out the window, "They're back."

Jing Xingzhi and Beifeng are back.Beifeng got out of the car, strode over, opened the door and entered the house, "Give the satellite phone to Cheng Jin."

Lao Zhong opened the cabinet, took it out and handed it to Cheng Jin.

Cheng Jin knew that Beifeng meant to tell him to contact Yelai and the others at the bottom of the mountain.He dialed the phone, and it was connected quickly, and he turned on the voice.

Without waiting for Cheng Jin to ask, Ye Lai said over there: "Boss, the test results are out, Xiao Liu didn't die in the Tianma River in the city."

Cheng Jin and Beifeng looked at each other.

Ye Lai said: "Let You Duo tell you about the dark river."

Then it was replaced by You Duo's voice, "There is an underground river, I know where it flows into the Tianma River, but I don't know its exact route."

Beifeng unfolded the map, "Where is the exit where the dark river flows into the Tianma River?"

You Duo said: "Near Xiaogang Village."

Beifeng found out the place name and took a pen to make a mark.

Cheng Jin said, "Is there a way to find out more?"

You Duo said: "It's underground, there's no way to find it."

People on both sides fell silent.After a while, Ye Lai said: "Boss, the person who jumped off the building yesterday, because he owed a lot of money to others, was forced to pay the debt, and couldn't pay it back, so he jumped off the building."

Bu Huan said: "To whom do you owe money, and you want to jump off the building? Isn't it the uncle who is in debt now?"

Xiao An's voice changed from the other side, "The other party is someone from a gang-related organization. The Public Security Bureau doesn't plan to investigate carefully. Shall we investigate, boss?"

Cheng Jin said: "You can check it out. But we should focus on our own affairs."

"Okay, got it."
