Where did Jin Jiaxuan go?

Leaving Luming Town, the taxi went all the way back to Baiyuan City. It was almost evening, and the street lights on both sides of the road were already on.

Shang Yang dialed Jin Xu's cell phone, and was hung up after it rang once. Guessing that he was at work, he sent a WeChat message instead, asking: Where is it?

Jin Xu replied: City Bureau.

Going to the Municipal Bureau means that you may have to meet with the leaders of the Municipal Bureau and the supervisory team of the provincial department. Shang Yang is really a little afraid of trouble.

In the end, he still said to the taxi driver: "Master, take me to the Municipal Public Security Bureau."

Here and now, in such a winter dusk, in a strange northwestern city, after hearing an old story with few words but heart-pounding words, he felt an urgency to get to know Jin Xu again.

This sense of urgency, he couldn't describe what it was for, it was not out of sympathy.

Maybe it's more like curiosity. This classmate who has known each other for more than ten years and slept in a bunk bed has an inner world that is not seen by others, so that he can overcome the cruelty and injustice of fate and go through the bleak wind for many years. Leng Yu has become the person he is today.

City Bureau, outside the gate.

Shang Yang said to the policeman on duty at the gate: "Hi, I'm from the Songshan Police Station. I'm here to find Director Jin. He asked me to come."

He lied a little, and didn't show his work card to the doorman. If the other party asked, he was going to say that he forgot to bring it.

Mengang looked at him, but he didn't become suspicious, and said, "Deputy Bureau Jin and the experts from the province have been back for more than half an hour, and they should all be in the conference room on the third floor."

Shang Yang: "...Thank you."

He raised his foot tentatively, about to step into the door, and looked at the gate post uncertainly, so he was allowed to go in?What post are you standing on?

In fact, from his appearance, Mengang knew that he was a colleague at a glance, but he thought he was a newcomer, he looked small, and he didn't have the temperament of an old movie policeman.

"You just graduated from the police academy, right? Is this your first time at the city bureau? It's okay," Mengang said, teasing the newcomers with a smile, "It will make you bolder if you ask Deputy Director Jin to clean up twice more."

Shang Yang thought to himself, maybe who will take care of whom.

On the third floor of the Municipal Bureau, the door of the conference room opened.

Experts from the supervision team of the provincial department, several main leaders of the Municipal Bureau, and key members of the "10.26 Corpse Throwing Case" task force came out of the conference room.

"Preparing to issue a police report," said a city bureau leader, "This case was solved in less than 48 hours, which is quite good among similar cases."

Everyone nodded in agreement, and a group of people hurried through the corridor.

The front-line criminal police have to do finishing work, and the responsible leaders have to deal with public opinion and make detailed reports to higher-level units.

Li Jie and Jin Xu were at the back. Compared with the past two days, Li Jie has ushered in a relaxed moment.

Only Jin Xu still looked thoughtful and skeptical.

Seeing that all the leaders had left, Li Jie said in a low voice, "What? You still think there is something wrong with the suspect's confession?"

Jin Xu said, "I still don't feel right."

"His testimony matches the evidence we have." Li Jie paused and said, "Did your previous relationship with Liu Weidong affect your judgment on him?"

Jin Xu moved his lips, and finally said: "Maybe."

Li Jie patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't think about it, leave the rest to us, you go back and have a good sleep."

Jin Xu nodded.

The two continued to walk outside, and suddenly saw a person appearing at the corner of the corridor.

Jin Xu: "..."

Li Jie whispered, "Oh."

"Congratulations to the two detectives, you solved the case so quickly." Shang Yang put his hands in his windbreaker pockets, looked at them, and smiled slightly, obviously hearing the words of the leaders after they came out.

"It's not over yet, there are a lot of things left for me to do." Li Jie laughed and walked forward with Jin Xu.

He glanced at Jin Xu, and then said to Shang Yang: "But my apprentice is fine, here you go, take it away."

Shang Yang had a good impression of this old criminal policeman, and he joked, "Team Li is so generous, can apprentices give me souvenirs?"

Li Jie laughed and wanted to say a few more words, but Jin Xu urged him: "Go quickly if you have something to do, don't dawdle."

"Deputy Bureau Jin is so powerful." Li Jie complained with a smile, but he really waved his hand at Monk Yang and left.

For the rest of Shang Yang and Jin Xu, in the long corridor, both ends were empty, and it seemed as if there was a sudden echo of what they said.

Jin Xu looked at Shang Yang with some doubts, and sensitively noticed that Shang Yang's attitude seemed to be a little different, but he still didn't know the reason.

Shang Yang didn't want to talk about his past, and he didn't want to let him know that he had been to Luming Town. He was also very curious about the progress of the case, so he temporarily put away his emotions and asked, "Tell me, who is the murderer? Liu Weidong?"

Jin Xu observed the changes in his expression, hesitated for a few seconds, and then got back to the point: "It is."

Shang Yang said: "That's it? Didn't you say the case was solved?"

"The witnesses and material evidence are all complete, so the case has been solved, and we only need to wait for Liu Weidong to be brought to justice." Jin Xu said, "The current situation is like this, and it was reported in the same way at the meeting just now."

Shang Yang heard the implication, which meant that he still felt suspicious, and asked, "Since we parted in the morning, what new evidence have you and the Li team found? Is there any new witness?"

Jin Xu loosened the tie of the police uniform, and said, "Change clothes and go to eat, talking while eating, I haven't even bothered to eat lunch."

After coming to Baiyuan for nearly ten days, Shang Yang ate noodles for almost ten days, and finally, under the leadership of local snakes, he ate authentic specialties.

Lamb meat, the dish with the most regional characteristics, selects 30 to 45-day-old lamb, steams it in a cage, and only uses basic seasoning to retain the original flavor of lamb meat, tender and juicy, fat but not greasy, without fishy smell.

As soon as the dish was served, Shang Yang took a photo and sent it to Yuan Ding.

Yuan Ding replied with a row of "cracked" emojis.He took the bus for half a day to the provincial capital, then transferred from the train station to the airport, and is now waiting for his flight.

After "cracking" the lamb meat, he sent out a bunch of complaints, expressing that he didn't want to leave and cared about Director Shang's safety in Baiyuan alone.

Shang Yang ignored him, and even thought he was annoying, so he turned his phone on airplane mode.

Jin Xu said: "When you came out of the city bureau just now, did the gatekeeper call you younger brother?"

They passed by the gate, and Men Gang said to Jin Xu, "Goodbye, Deputy Director Jin", and then said to Shang Yang, "Little brother, come often if you have nothing to do."

"Maybe." Shang Yang ate the mutton, too lazy to elaborate, and said, "The one who got in with the trick you taught me claimed to be a newcomer to Songshan Institute."

Jin Xu looked at his face with a smile, and said, "You are the only one who can use this trick. It is so tender, even tenderer than this little lamb."

Shang Yang said: "That doesn't sound like a good word."

Jin Xu said: "Isn't it good to say you're tender? It's better than you to say I'm ugly."

When Shang Yang and Li Jie were joking, they said that Jin Xu is a local specialty.

"Am I stupid? It's okay." Jin Xu looked at himself uncertainly.

"For the sake of solving the case, let me save you some face and not comment on this matter." Shang Yang said with a little venomous tongue, "Tell me, what's going on?"

Jin Xu then told him: "Didn't I tell you at noon that Zhejiang fed back the information about the Alipay account? I'll go find someone."

After leaving Zhou Aijun's house, he took people to the food processing factory in the village.According to Zhou Aijun, the only time his ID card was borrowed was when the boss of the processing factory used Zhou Aijun's ID card and disability certificate to sign a fake employment contract in order to avoid taxes.

When I arrived at the processing plant, I met the owner of the workshop factory. At the beginning, he hesitated and refused to admit that he had taken illegal actions in order to avoid taxes. According to local income and policies, the processing plant "hired" Zhou Aijun, and he could reduce or exempt taxes for one year. Or profit nearly 4 yuan from it.He only gave Zhou Aijun 2000 yuan as a "benefit fee".

Under Jin Xu's interrogation, he was finally willing to admit that he had borrowed Zhou Aijun's ID card, but said that he had never used Zhou's ID card to register and use an Alipay account.

The progress was stuck at this step, so Jin Xu and his colleagues had to leave first. As soon as they came out of the boss's office, they met a young man, who turned around and wanted to run when he saw Jin Xu.How could it be possible for him to escape?Jin Xu and his colleagues surrounded him and held him down.

"Who is it?" Shang Yang asked, "Shouldn't you be wearing police uniforms when you go out to work? Why is he running?"

Jin Xu said: "He didn't wear a police uniform. He was arrested and returned to the sub-bureau during the special operation to investigate pornography, gambling and drugs before, and he met me."

Shang Yang asked again: "Porn, gambling and drug abuse? What type is he?"

Jin Xu said: "Drink some of them."

The young man's name was Yu Tao, and he used to be a horse boy who watched the scenes in some marginal entertainment places in the city. The places he watched were full of pornography, gambling and drugs. When encountering severe crackdowns and special rectification operations, he would always be arrested several times.

So Yu Tao knew Jin Xu's face very well.

In recent years, the Baiyuan Public Security Bureau has repeatedly cracked down on illegal business establishments. Most of these establishments could not continue to operate or were closed down or turned into regular businesses.

Introduced by relatives, Yu Tao came to drive the boss of a food processing factory. The personnel structure of a small private enterprise is chaotic and loose. The driver also works part-time as a secretary assistant, runs errands, and does everything. up.

The place he stayed in before was full of fish and dragons, and he needed to be very good at things to stay there. Because of this, the current boss also trusts him a lot, and he is willing to entrust him with many miscellaneous things in the processing factory.

For example, take Zhou Aijun's certificate to go through the relevant tax reduction and exemption procedures.

Shang Yang suddenly said: "Zhou Aijun's Alipay account is the one Yu Tao applied for and is using... Could it be that he is the third person who returned to Jia Pengfei's house with Liu Weidong?"

Jin Xu said: "Yes, I caught him right away, and after just asking a few words, he did everything."

Yu Tao confessed that after Liu Weidong killed Jia Pengfei, he asked him to throw the body together, and proposed that in order to confuse the police, he put on Jia Pengfei's clothes and pretended to be Jia, and drove Jia's white van back to Jia's home with Liu Weidong, intending to cause Jia's death. The illusion of mysterious disappearance after returning home.

This is basically consistent with the previous conjectures of the criminal police, and it almost misled the direction of the police's investigation. They were entangled in how Jia Pengfei's body was transported from his home. Pulled back in the wrong direction.

In fact, according to Yu Tao, he and Liu Weidong did not know that there was such a fatal evidence left in the car.

"What's his relationship with Liu Weidong? Liu Weidong asked him to kill someone and throw away his body, and he was willing to go?" Shang Yang asked strangely.

Jin Xu said: "The accounts of the food processing factory are very chaotic. The boss trusts Wang Tao very much, so he secretly embezzles money from the public account to make extra money. He acts as a usurer and only borrows short-term with very high interest. Liu Weidong asked him to borrow money several times. That's how the two got to know each other. Liu Weidong owed him tens of thousands of yuan in Ligunli, but he couldn't pay it back. When he was looking for him, he said that Jia Pengfei had 15 yuan in Alipay, and he could pay him back when things were done, so he went. "

Shang Yang thought for a while and said, "Where is Liu Weidong hiding now?"

"Wang Tao said he didn't know. The two of them originally wanted to transfer the 15 that Sun Lina gave Jia Pengfei to Zhou Aijun's Alipay, and then divide it slowly, but unfortunately, Jia Pengfei used a low-end mobile phone with insensitive facial recognition. After death, the mobile phone cannot recognize the dead face, and without the password, the account cannot be transferred.” Jin Xu said sarcastically, “The two of them complained to each other about this, and finally broke up, and then Liu Weidong left.”

Shang Yang: "..."

Jin Xu asked: "Why, do you also feel that something is wrong?"

Shang Yang said: "According to Wang Tao, Liu Weidong killed the man, and it was Liu Weidong's idea to mislead the police. He only performed a scene for money, but he picked himself up."

He paused and asked, "What do you think?"

After returning from Luming Town, when the topic of Liu Weidong was involved, he would unconsciously worry about touching Jin Xu's bad memories.

But Jin Xu said without thinking: "I don't think Liu Weidong has such brains and courage. To be honest, I didn't really believe that he could commit murder from the very beginning."

Shang Yang: "..."

He was speechless for a while, and it was difficult to evaluate Jin Xu's evaluation of Liu Weidong.

How can a person look without malice, another person who has treated him with the greatest malice?

Jin Xu frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Shang Yang said seriously, "You really are not dirty, I think you are very clean."
