wake of the wild

Nie Gangqiang chatted with Hu, who was attacked, for more than an hour. At the end of the chat, his mind was buzzing.

At this moment, Da Li came in from the door and whispered something in his ear.

Surprise flashed across Nie Gangqiang's face: "Chu Zhao is here? Did you hear me right?"

Da Li said, "He's in the car outside."

Nie Gangqiang got up immediately, told Gong Hua and Da Li to take care of the ward, and left quickly.

Downstairs in the ward, the parking space was [-]% full, and a black jeep was parked in it low-key. The logo of the Animal Control Bureau on the body was washed clean and shiny by the rain.

Nie Gangqiang, who had left the building, trotted all the way in the rain. When he got to the car, the door had already been opened from the inside.

"Zhao Chu." Nie Gang stood up straight, Banban was greeting the other party, his thick short hair was covered with drops of water, whether it was rain or sweat.

In the back seat was a woman in her fifties, with her hair pulled up and neat.

——Zhao Ying, director of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Animal Control Bureau, in charge of the action team and the security department, belongs to the hummingbird family.

"Are you going to report to me in the rain?" Zhao Ying said lightly, "We'll talk when we come up."

Only then did Nie Gangqiang dare to bend down and get into the car.

There are two colleagues from the investigation department in the front seat, one is sitting in the driver's seat, and the other is sitting in the co-pilot watching the video of Nie Gangqiang's interrogation of Hu Lingyu earlier - all the video data of the security department's actions will be uploaded to The internal platform of the Animal Control Bureau can be accessed with permission.

"Zhao Chu, why are you here?" Nie Gangqiang didn't know where to start to report, because it was unreasonable for a big leader to come to pay attention to an attack in person.

"Let's talk about the case first." Zhao Ying didn't explain much.

Nie Gangqiang had no choice but to suppress the doubts in his heart, and explained the case in detail: "Last night, Hu Lingyu, a second-year student in the fourth university, was attacked by beasts and was admitted to the hospital with serious head injuries. There were animal hairs and scratches at the attack site. Witnesses proved that just before the incident, Fu Xi'an, who was in the same class as the victim, appeared at the scene of the crime. Fu Xi'an, a jaguar in the genus Fu Xi'an, after DNA comparison, the animal hair left at the crime site belonged to this kid, including scratches , he himself admitted that he left behind."

Zhao Ying: "So you suspect this Fu Xi'an now?"

Nie Gangqiang: "It's not suspicion, Zhao Chu, with so much evidence, the case can be settled."

"You just asked the victim, what did he say?" Zhao Ying reached out to the front co-pilot.

The person in the passenger seat immediately handed the tablet to her.

Speaking of this, Nie Gangqiang's brain began to hurt again: "That Hu Lingyu, I don't remember anything else, just remember 'it's not Fu Xi'ang'. No matter how you ask, I insist that it's not him [-]%."

Zhao Ying asked: "What do you think?"

"The relationship between Hu Lingyu and Fu Xi'ang is not good on weekdays. Teachers and classmates can testify," Nie Gangqiang said, "So I don't think Hu Lingyu has any reason to lie. It should be because of excessive shock, plus the impact on the brain, and the memory of the attack. There was a deviation."

"What if there is no deviation?" Zhao Ying turned to look at Nie Gangqiang.

She is a typical flying bird, petite in stature, with a delicate face and facial features, one can imagine how pretty and lovely she was when she was young.However, nearly 30 years of veterinary crime investigation career, breaking through sharp teeth and claws, and catching evil beasts, has precipitated another temperament in her body.

After being glanced at, Nie Gangqiang couldn't help but sit upright, but still insisted on his own judgment: "All evidence points to Fu Xi'ang, Hu Lingyu said no, but it's all 'feeling', which is too unconvincing. And it's not This is not the first assault case. Last month, Tian Ruiming, who was also in the investigation team, was attacked. He escaped by chance. Although there was no obvious evidence left at the scene like this time, Tian Ruiming and Fu Xi'ang had had friction several times. If it were not Fu Xi'ang, how can he be involved in every attack, is it too coincidental, or is he too unlucky?"

"It sounds reasonable," Zhao Ying asked, "Has Fu Xi'ang been put down?"

"Not yet," Nie Gangqiang frowned, "That kid is a demon king in the world, he doesn't let oil and salt in, he only admits to grabbing a tree, and he doesn't admit to hurting anyone."

"The evidence is so convincing, it still can't break through a brat," Zhao Ying raised her eyebrows slightly, "I think the next big

The military training has to supplement your knowledge of investigation and interrogation. "

"Zhao Chu, I ran back and forth all night, you wait for me to go back and deal with that kid myself, and I will definitely let him go!"

Zhao Ying looked at him for a while, then sighed: "Let him go."

"What? Let him go?" Nie Gangqiang unconsciously raised his voice.

"Why would a criminal who doesn't want to plead guilty commit a crime under a tree with scratches left on him?" Zhao Ying asked slowly.

Nie Gangqiang was stunned for a moment, and then speculated: "It took almost an hour between grabbing the tree and attacking. Maybe he didn't intend to attack when he grabbed the tree. He saw someone later on."

Zhao Ying: "On a whim, did you choose the tree with your own mark?"

Nie Gangqiang: "It was very dark in the forest at the time, maybe he didn't pay attention to the tree next to him when he attacked and grabbed it himself."

Zhao Ying: "He always remembers that he met Mo Yunzheng, right?"

Nie Gangqiang was stunned on the spot.

Zhao Ying knew that Fu Xi'ang had met another classmate in the forest, and blurted out Mo Yunzheng's name, which showed his understanding of the case.

"Knowing that someone saw me, he still chose to attack nearby. It would be fine if he was willing to go all out, but he refused to admit it after committing the crime. Isn't that contradictory?" Zhao Ying said, dragging the progress bar of the video on the tablet, Until a certain point in time, click.

The video starts playing.

"It's really not..."

"I don't want to testify against him..."

"But look..."

In the picture, Hu Lingyu turned his back to Nie Gangqiang and Gong Hua and lifted up his shirt so that they could look at his back.

Two impact bruises, smaller than a fist, are clear and eye-catching.

But look carefully, under the two bruises, there is a large piece of lighter bruise, which looks new, but not as serious as these two bruises.

"I asked Lu Qi to take a picture of me with my phone," said Hu Lingyu on the hospital bed in the picture, "Look, those two small pieces were left last night, and the big one was the daytime beast-like confrontation. Fu Xiangxiang hit me, and beast turned into it, the two are totally different."

"Different impact methods of the same lycanthropist, or the use of different parts during impact, may also cause such a difference." Nie Gangqiang in the screen is unmoved.

Hu Lingyu looked extremely helpless.

Zhao Ying clicked on the tablet, and the video paused.

Nie Gangqiang couldn't help but said: "The same lycanthropist may indeed cause two or even multiple different impact injuries."

Zhao Ying raised her eyes lightly: "But you can't deny that there are two possibilities of lycanthropy colliding with such an injury."

Nie Gang moved his mouth forcefully, but finally had nothing to refute.

"You have regarded Fu Xi'ang as a criminal from the very beginning, so any doubts you encounter will be guided to this result consciously or unconsciously," Zhao Ying said quietly, "The most important thing in handling a case is to have a preset position. Now, the process and results are prone to deviations, and the previous lessons are not enough for you to remember?"

Nie Gang raised his head sharply, and some indescribable emotions appeared on his vicissitudes of face.

"Brace yourselves," Zhao Ying suddenly changed the subject, "reasonize your thinking again, no biting is allowed in the confrontation class, so no matter how fierce the students are, they can only charge, but the attack is different, why should we restrain the attacking instinct to go How about choosing the way of collision that gets twice the result with half the effort?"

"Unless..." Nie Gangqiang's eyes froze, "The assailant didn't have sharp teeth and claws at all."

Zhao Ying patted him on the shoulder in relief: "Let him go, and come back to the bureau with me. A task force has been set up for this case. Starting today, the action team and the security department will jointly handle the case. You, the security chief, can't be absent." First project meeting."

"An assault case, such a big battle?" Nie Gangqiang was really shocked.

"It's not as simple as you think," Zhao Ying sighed, "I'm afraid the attack is just the beginning."

Nie Gangqiang called Sun Pei to release people by remote control, and then left the hospital with Director Zhao's car.

On the way back to the Animal Control Bureau, Nie Gangqiang couldn't help but be curious: "Zhao Chu, anyway, this car is all his own people, can you tell me first, what is wrong with this case?"

Why is it so difficult? "

Zhao Ying stared at the tablet that was still playing Hu Lingyu's questioning video, and only said three words: "Deng Wenhai."

Nie Gangqiang never expected to hear this name again.

Deng Wenhai, an unemployed veterinarian, and Hu Lingyu once reported to Nie Gangqiang with his real name that he entered the cross-country examination room without permission and attacked his classmates.

After Nie Gangqiang went back, he did a quick check. As Hu Lingyu said, this person had been a black car driver before, and on the day of the cross-country test, this person had indeed appeared around the reserve.So he preliminarily collected the information and sent a report to the higher authorities to apply for further investigation.

Usually this kind of application will be approved quickly, no matter whether it is approved or not, but this time after many days, the above said, check, but not the security department, but the action team to check, and asked Nie Gangqiang to collect all the materials together turn around.Nie Gangqiang was full of doubts, but he didn't ask any more questions. Later, Tian Ruiming's assault case progressed slowly, so he couldn't care about other things.

As a result, Deng Wenhai was forgotten by Section Chief Nie, and he almost forgot to this day.

Could this man have anything to do with the attack?But what did Zhao Chu mean by "I'm afraid, the attack is just the beginning"?

Nie Gangqiang hoped that the leader could explain clearly.

But Director Zhao beside him didn't raise his head from the beginning to the end, he kept watching Hu's ward questioning video, and only watched the first half, from Hu Lingyu's waking up to his half-willed and half-shameless asking Gong Hua to "open the memory". "Classmate with the Key to the Floodgate" came in, and then went to the "dating in the grove on a rainy day" between the two of them.In this video, Gong Hua hardly had a chance to speak, but Director Zhao watched it attentively and devotedly, and smiled heartily from time to time.

The side face of the leader smiling was quite gentle, which gave Nie Gangqiang the courage to gossip: "Zhao Chu, do you know them?"

Zhao Ying: "I don't know."

Nie Gangqiang: "..." Then he misread the loving eyes?

"It's just a little nostalgic," Zhao Ying said again suddenly, the lines on the corners of her eyes from laughing did not make her look old, but glowed with radiance, "These two children remind me of two friends."

……

Animalization Awakening Hospital.

Hu Lingyu ushered in two travel-worn friends.

"What's going on? How could you be attacked in the middle of the night in the sycamore forest?" He Qiuyan just entered the ward with one foot, and her voice filled the room.

Da Huang followed behind, looking anxious and panting, "Who did it? Did you catch it?"

"You are stupid, if you are caught, will the animal control bureau still send someone to guard the door?" Gong Hua was recalled to the animal control bureau more than ten minutes ago, and He Qiuyan was talking about Da Li who had retreated outside the house to guard.

"I didn't catch it," Rhubarb looked at Hu Lingyu worriedly, "Aren't you still in danger?"

Lu Qi, who was sitting by the bed, raised his head quietly and pressed his ears: "If you two continue to quarrel like this, he will really be in danger."

"Don't listen to his nonsense." To prove himself, Hu Lingyu sat up straight on the hospital bed, tilted his neck, and made the bandage and gauze wrapped around his head look rebellious, "I'm fine. , just a little skin trauma."

Lu Qi tilted his head, as if he was asking "Really" between his brows: "Who just complained of pain and said dizziness, let me lower the bed for a while, and let me..."

"Ah!" Hu Lingyu suddenly covered his head, "It seems to hurt again, no, I can't be nagged now."

Lu Qi: "...I shut up."

Hu Lingyu blinked and blinked: "Huh? It doesn't hurt anymore."

Lu Qi couldn't laugh or cry.

The red-crowned crane and the pastoral dog exchanged glances, and it was obvious that there was nothing wrong with it, and they were enjoying themselves by taking advantage of their illness.

"It's only past ten o'clock," Hu Lingyu looked up and noticed the time on the wall, "You two aren't in class anymore?"

He Qiuyan was speechless: "You are already like this, what class do we both have?"

Da Huang: "As soon as we found out that something happened to you, we both asked the teacher for leave."

"Lu Qi!" He Qiuyan turned around and asked Xingshi, "Why didn't you tell us about such a big thing, if it didn't spread in the class, we would still look like idiots."

"I just woke up," Hu Lingyu rushed to explain for the sika deer, "I woke up

The animal control bureau just asked this and that, not only me, but also him, without giving anyone time to catch their breath. "

As he said that, Hu Lingyu realized that Lu Qi hadn't closed his eyes since the night.

People from the Animal Control Bureau said that when he was unconscious, Lu Qi had been guarding outside.

Looking at the side of the bed, Hu Lingyu suddenly felt a little sorry and a little distressed: "Lu Qi, go back to school and rest."

He thought of a lot of reasons, such as Da Huang and Xiao He are here, he has someone to accompany him, and the Animal Control Bureau still has people guarding outside, he is safe.

But these were useless, with a tired sika deer on his face, he nodded: "Okay."
