winter past

Zhao You held his face in his hands, sat on the folding bed and stared at the floor.A hand suddenly reached out to his eyes, holding a can of Red Bull in that hand.Zhao You didn't move, but Bai Lan's voice came from beside him: "Vice Zhao is probably sleeping with your eyes open."

Shu Le responded.He and Bai Lan squatted down and looked at Zhao You with their chins on their hands.Shu Le waved his hand slightly in front of Zhao You, and called softly, "Deputy Zhao? Brother You? Zhao You? Xiao Zhao?"

Zhao You still didn't move.Bai Lan hugged Shule, and said: "I heard from Yan Boyuan that he could fall asleep standing up. At that time, during their military training at the police academy, he slept standing up with his eyes open under the sun. The next day at school It was spread all over the place, saying that there is a new sleeping god who can still play Arhat Boxing in his dreams."

"Really?" Shu Le frowned, shook the can of Red Bull in his hand, touched Zhao You's sleeve, and whispered, "Deputy Zhao, it's time for a meeting..."

Zhao You blinked, and Shu Le turned to Bai Lan and said, "He's not asleep!"

Bai Lan laughed, got up and walked away, pulled up two chairs, placed them under the air conditioner, and said to Wang Junyong, "Brother Yong, sit down."

She also said: "I think he belongs to muscle memory, conditioned reflex, and gives a little reaction when he hears the word "meeting."

Wang Junyong shook the newspaper in his hand and said, "It's fine to have a meeting in the office, the air conditioner is cool enough."

He and Bai Lan sat down side by side, feeling happy, sat next to Zhao You, opened the can of Red Bull, and drank with his head raised.Zhao You rubbed his face, took out the notebook and ballpoint pen in his pocket, and spread them on his lap. When he looked up, he saw Lao Zhoudu pasting A4 paper on the empty wall next to the wanted bulletin board.

He posted four sheets, each with two huge Chinese characters printed in boldface on each A4 paper, which spelled: Prohibition of discussing cases of other groups.

Shu Le said, "Brother Du, are there two exclamation marks missing?"

Yuan Yuan asked abruptly, "How many do you want? Two?" She was sitting behind a desk in a corner of the room, holding a thermos in both hands.

Lao Zhoudu pondered for a while: "Two." He thought for a while, "Let's say four."

Yuan Yuan began to operate the computer.Suyin, who stood by the office door and swiped her phone, walked towards Yuan Yuan's seat and said, "Let's make it red, so it's more eye-catching."

The door of the office opened, and a team of Zhanxiong and Wan Qingtian came in one after the other.Zhanxiong was sweating all over his head. When he saw Zhao You, he pointed out and wondered, "Brother You, why are you in this group? Didn't you go to sister Dai?"

Yuan Yuan cleared his throat, Zhan Xiong made an apologetic gesture, bowed to everyone in the office several times, walked up to Zhao You, wiped his sweat, bent down and asked him in a low voice: "Brother, I heard that you found out Corpse?"

Shu Le squeezed Zhao You and asked, "I heard that we have asked forensic doctor Meng to come back for questioning." His voice was also very soft.

Bai Lan also came over: "Old Meng, because of the complaint letter?"

The rest of the people also gathered towards Zhao You, some took out their mobile phones, and some looked at Zhao You with inquiring eyes.Zhao Yong swallowed his saliva, glanced at Yuan Yuan and Suyin, and said very softly, "Could it be that the wrong person was arrested ten years ago?"

Bai Lan shot him a gouged look, and shouted loudly: "How is that possible? Sister Dai Rou is a female detective, how could she arrest the wrong person!"

Lao Zhoudu held a roll of tape in his hand, shrugged his shoulders, clicked his tongue, and said impatiently: "What is this? Did you do it? I just went to the Municipal Bureau at that time, and I even questioned some people who worked in the funeral parlor," he coughed, and said, "But, I heard that everyone who was recruited this time It was Dai Rou who interrogated herself."

Zhao Yong patted his thigh twice, shaking his head: "A lesson learned from the past..."

Shu Le said: "I went to high school in Hebei ten years ago. I remember a few words about this matter in the newspaper. It's a big trouble in Qingshi, right?"

He said: "You say, this time is a copycat, or..."

Lao Zhoudu's expression became serious, he looked at everyone one by one, and said in a deep voice: "That's right, when the Aegean Sea case came out, you were all too young, if you say you are a copycat, how can you imitate so meticulously?" So similar? The news about this case is not to mention other provinces and cities. Here in Qingshi, it is all propaganda, the political commissar, and the bureau chief personally check and review the manuscripts one by one. The details of the scene are rarely reported. , one is that the higher ups are afraid of..."

The door of the office opened again, and Zhan Xuanang walked in with a transparent thermos cup. A pair of bloodshot eyes scanned a large circle of the office, their eyes were sharp, everyone fell silent and dispersed a little.

On the other side, Yuan Yuan and Suyin took the A4 paper with four huge red exclamation marks printed on it, and stuffed it to Lao Zhoudu.Lao Zhoudu posted them next to "Prohibition of Discussing Cases of Other Groups".The cold wind from the air conditioner blew past, and several sheets of paper were blown up by the wind.

"It's a meeting, it's a meeting." Zhan Xuanang strode past Zhao You, stepped on his right foot, and Zhao You's people leaned forward, fully awake.He yawned profusely and grabbed the notebook as it slid from his lap.Shu Le turned pale with shock: "Are you really sleeping just now?"

Bai Lan couldn't stop laughing.Zhan Xuanang walked to a desk with a few pots of cacti and sat down. He put down the thermos cup in his hand with a "bang", and the brown tea in it swayed. He said: "Wake up, everyone! Find a seat."

As he said that, he moved a few folders on the table from the right to the left, and continued casually: "I found some human bodies. Experts in anti-corrosion came to hold a meeting to provide some advice. The scene was very big. Everyone Let’s try to force it with the first team today, just make do with it.”

The men and women in the office said in unison: "No force, no force."

Everyone found a chair and sat down.

Zhan Xuanang said: "Suyin, please report on the progress of Xingji first."

Suyin got up to speak.Zhan Xuanang motioned to her again: "Just sit down and talk. Sit down and talk. We don't do so many formal and scene things here."

Suyin then sat down and said: "After analyzing all the knives that the Tian family can find, as well as all the knives that can be purchased on the market, which can make Tian Keren and Tian Zixi's wounds cut, they are cutting human skin. According to the analysis and comparison of the metal particle residues left in the process, it can be confirmed that the metal particle residues left on human tissue by the spring knife found from Xue Mao when cutting the skin are the same as the metal particles left on the wounds of Tian Keren and Tian Zixi. There was no difference in the metal residues found."

"Then we found the murder weapon?" Shu Le clenched his fist and said excitedly.

Su Yin shook her head: "I can't say that yet, maybe the murderer used the same switchblade of the same brand, only his fingerprints were found on the switchblade handed in by Xue Maung, and some mixed bloodstains were found on the blade , It was later confirmed that it belonged to hares and squirrels, but no blood samples from Tian Keren and Tian Zixi were found. Xue Mao claimed that he found this knife from Zhang Li, and then used it to kill hares and squirrels."

Zhan Xuanang unscrewed the thermos cup, took a sip of tea, and said: "According to the informant, our colleagues from the fourth team found three criminals who stole Tian Keren Mazda in Yanzigou in the early morning of the 5th. One of them, the leader, nicknamed Bao Lord, in order not to startle the enemy and disrupt the big operation of the anti-crime team, just now Xiaoyan and his anti-crime colleagues arrested him in a bar in the city for selling stimulants to minors. He was detained at the Dawei branch. This Master Bao is not very old, it is said that he followed him when he was 14 years old..."

Shu Le asked Zhao You in a low voice: "Deputy Zhao, do you know the Aegean Sea killer in Qingshi?

"You said it wasn't true that you caught the wrong person back then, you see, after the case was solved, Deputy Dai was not promoted, and..."

Zhan Xuanang's voice suddenly rose: "Some comrades! They haven't investigated their own cases yet, and they want to intervene in other people's cases." He threw two ocular knives at Zhao You, pointing at the new The posted slogan kept shaking his fingers: "Don't talk about other people's cases, and do the things at hand first!"

He continued to shout at the top of his voice: "Don't talk indiscriminately, and don't spread rumors! Is there any organization and discipline?"

He pointed at Zhao You, angrily: "Zhao You, do you have any opinions to express? You found Xue Mao, and you caught that red hair. Tell me, tell me! Tell me!"

Zhao You looked at Zhan Xuanang and said slowly: "I suggest that Dai Rou and his team can help us investigate the case. The murderer they are looking for should be the one who killed Zhang Li."

Shu Le covered his forehead with a "slap" and lowered his head.Both Bai Lan and Wang Jue turned their heads away, a little embarrassed, and the rest were dumbfounded.Suyin laughed out loud.

Zhan Xuan raised his breath, but didn't speak. He just stared at Zhao You, his eyes seemed to burst into flames.Zhao You didn't speak any more, looked at Zhan Xuanang, and looked at him silently.After two seconds of silence, Zhan Xuanang looked away from Zhao You, and slapped the table hard twice, still very angry: "Xiao Shu! Bai Lan! Tell me, if you have anything to say, say it Speak! Speak!"

Shu Le raised his eyes, straightened his hair, and said cautiously: "Zhang Li's parents are here... I saw the photo of the corpse taken before the cremation, and recognized the person. It was Zhang Li, and the ashes were also given to them. That Xu Achang looked at the clothes Zhang Li wore when he died, and said that he couldn't remember clearly, and he wasn't sure if Zhang Li wore those clothes that day, and he wasn't sure if those clothes belonged to Zhang Li, it might be , or maybe not..."

Zhan Xuanang patted the table: "Okay, what about the tongue twister?"

He waved his hand and said, "Okay, then let's sort out the case again.

"Qingshui Garden resident Tian Keren, Tian Zixi's mother and daughter died on June 6th from 5 am to 1 am. A Mazda under Tian Keren's name was stolen, and some property was lost at home.

"According to the confession of Guguagua, a gangster who was active in the Yanzigou area, at 5 or 4 am on the 5th, a frequent car thief nicknamed Bao Ye and his two accomplices drove Tian Keren's Mazda back to Yanzigou. Hongyun Automobile Trading Market, and began to refurbish the car, they seemed to find something in the trunk, he didn't know the details, so I had to ask Master Bao here.

"At the same time, after 5:0 on the 15th, Tian Keren's husband, Zhang Li, never appeared in the surveillance of the Lanxin Jewelry Processing Factory where he worked, and Zhang Li disappeared. Until June 6th In the morning, according to Xue Mao, a homeless man, at 5:6 in the morning, when he passed under the Hongqi Bridge in Yanzigou, he found Zhang Li who seemed to be in a coma. Keep cash, switchblades, gloves, etc. on your body.

"According to the records of the patrolling police from the Hongqi Street Police Station of the Yanzigou Sub-bureau, at 6:7 am on June 10th, two patrolmen found Zhang Li's body under the Hongqi Bridge, because no clues to his identity were found on him at that time, and the body was highly decomposed. , After being transported back to the Yanzigou funeral home, the forensic doctor collected relevant biological information from the corpse and then cremated it. However, due to the negligence of the forensic doctor, the forensic data was not uploaded to the database of our bureau in time.

"At 6:8 a.m. on June 7, the command center received an alarm. A teacher from the Open Zone Experimental Middle School suspected that his student Tian Zixi was missing. After the police arrived, they entered Tian's house and found the bodies of Tian's mother and daughter."

Zhan Xuanang said: "It is very possible that after Zhang Li killed his wife and daughter, he faked the scene as a robbery and murder, and then took the stolen goods and left the scene in his wife's Mazda, but was killed by accident. The Mazda was stolen by others. His body was thrown under the Hongqi bridge."

Zhan Xuanang set up a task: "Now we are going to have a fight with that treasure master, and secondly, we have to re-examine that Xue Mao, and the rest of the homeless people who usually move around Hongqi Bridge, ask them, in the early morning of the 5th, Did you see any suspicious figures around Hongqi Bridge?"

His voice became a little hoarse, and he took another sip of tea, and said, "That's it for today, Zhao You and I went to find Master Bao; Shule, Xiaoqing, you go to interrogate Xue Mao again, this kind of tramp is very cunning , maybe there is something hidden from us, the main point is whether he has found out from Zhang Li and stole other property; Zhao Yong, you and Xiaolao go to those pawn shops around Yanzigou, both formal and irregular. After inquiring, Tian Ke wore all the stolen property details, photos, and the photos of the people involved in the case. They all went to inquire, and the rest went to those homeless people to find out the situation. .” He glanced at the wall clock on the wall and said, “Remember to take some time to rest and have an early meeting at five o’clock tomorrow morning.”

It's 9:30pm.

The meeting is over.

Zhao You got up and asked Zhan Xuanang: "I drive?"

Zhan Xuanang said: "You wait."

The people in the office had already left in a hurry, Yuan Yuan went over to say hello to Zhan Xuanang with his leather bag: "Team Zhan, then I'll go first, I've saved the minutes of the meeting."

She also left, and now only Zhao You and Zhan Xuanang were left in the office.The air conditioner keeps sending cold air outside.Zhan Xuan nestled in the leather chair, drank tea, touched the pile of documents on the table, and asked Zhao You, "Do you really want to go to Dai Rou's place?"

Zhao You immediately replied: "No, really not."

He said, "There are still many things about the [-] case that I haven't thought about."

Zhan Xuanang looked at him, nodded, and got up too: "Then let's go."

The two of them left the office and were about to step out the door when a group of people suddenly rushed out from the meeting room next to them, all of them looked anxious, some ran towards the elevator, some went straight to the safe passage, and the corridor was in chaos for a while. .Someone shouted: "Aegean Sea Hotel 404! A woman called the police! Hurry up!"

"Let the sub-bureau immediately send people to block the scene!"

"Don't shoot, don't shoot randomly!"

Zhan Xuanang grabbed Wang Shifang who was passing by: "Shifang, what happened?"

Wang Shifang's face turned half blue, half pale, as if seeing a ghost: "Aegean Sea 404 found a female dead."

Hearing this, Zhan Xuanang also seemed to have seen a ghost, let go of Wang Shifang, and stood motionless at the door of the office.Zhao You poked his head and watched for a while. Everyone in the conference room had run away, and the corridor became quiet again. He patted Zhan Xuanang: "Team Zhan?"

As if waking up from a dream, Zhan Xuanang wiped the sweat off his neck, and silently walked towards the elevator.

Some people from the Criminal Technology and Propaganda Department were waiting for the elevator, Zhan Xuanang pointed to the safe passage: "Go, let's go down the stairs."

Entering the stairwell, the sound of chaotic footsteps could be heard from downstairs from time to time.Zhan Xuanang and Zhao Youpan started talking: "How are you and Xiao Yin doing?"

"Very good, I will go to the province to have dinner with my mother on weekends."

"When are you going to get married?"

"almost."

"Have you been engaged for two years? It's not bad for you to switch to a civilian job. A few days ago, I played chess with Dean Yin and talked about your affairs."

"Dean Yin's chess skills are not as good as yours." Zhao You said.The two walked to the fourth floor.Zhan Xuanang glanced at him, Zhao You took out his mobile phone, clicked on the chat history with Yin Miaozai, and said with a smile: "I didn't shoot the horses, Xiao Yin said the same thing, I'll show you."

Zhan Xuanang glanced at his mobile phone, and was a little annoyed: "Little Yin sent you several WeChat messages, why didn't you reply?" He even hated iron and steel, "Can you serve some snacks? What a girl , she is beautiful, her job is good, and she is very considerate, tell me about you..."

Zhao You nodded again and again: "It's because I've been a little negligent recently, I'll be right back, I'll be right back."

He pulled Yin Miaozai's latest voice message from 9:10, he clicked on it, and listened to it.

In the voice, Yin Miaozai cried out of breath: "I, I, I am in the Aegean Sea Hotel, 404, 404..."

"Who are you calling?" a man asked.

This is the end of WeChat voice.

Yin Miaozai also called him several times, but he didn't answer.The last missed call was at 8:45.

Yin Miaozai never contacted him again.
