Back to 1990. Criminal Investigation

Thunder resounded in the sky, the rain became bigger in an instant, and the bean-sized raindrops crackled and hit the black umbrella. Under the umbrella, Ding Chong was dazed, "What can I do with Fang Yuanyuan?"

Leng Jiucheng: "What time did she leave?"

Bai Ren said: "About ten past nine, I didn't check the time at that time."

From 9:10 to 10:100, Leng Jiucheng can be [-]% sure that Fang Yuanyuan did not come out from the main entrance of the hotel. Could there be other small doors?Or hide in pantry, kitchen?I have to go to the hotel again.

Leng Jiucheng turned around and ran back, Ding Chong followed, "What are you looking for with Fang Yuanyuan? What's going on?"

"I can't explain it to you now. I must find someone as soon as possible, otherwise she may be in danger." Leng Jiucheng strode forward.

There must be something important that can make Leng Jiucheng, who has always been restrained, appear flustered. Ding Chong's inexplicable trust in Leng Jiucheng is like an old friend who has known each other for a long time. Come on, I am responsible for her accident, I will find someone with you."

Leng Jiucheng didn't refuse, and accelerated their speed. They rushed to the Lucky Hotel in the rain, but the door of the hotel was locked. There was little business in rainy days, and the boss closed the shop early.

Fang Yuanyuan has few friends and the weather is bad. The most likely place to go after leaving the hotel is to go home. Leng Jiucheng looked at Ding Chong: "I'm going to Fang Yuanyuan's house, you go back first."

Ding Chong refused to leave, "I'll be with you."

The two immediately went to Fang's house. Fang's house turned off the lights, but the courtyard door was unlocked. When they reached the depths of the courtyard, the door was unlocked, and it opened with a light push. The family was sleeping soundly, and there was no one there Seeing someone coming in from outside the door, Leng Jiucheng lit the flashlight and shone it from one end of Datong shop to the other. The whole family was there, except Fang Yuanyuan was missing.

Quietly walking out of Fang's courtyard, Leng Jiucheng took shelter from the rain under the eaves of the courtyard gate, and lit a cigarette casually.

Ding Chong then came out, closed the courtyard door and stood under the eaves to shelter from the rain, "The courtyard door is unlocked, Fang's family is keeping the door open for Fang Yuanyuan, which means she has never been home."

Leng Jiucheng gave a soft "hmm".

"Where can she go if she doesn't go home? There are few female classmates who have a good relationship with her in the class, why don't you go to her deskmate's house? Maybe it's not easy to go home because of the rainy day, so I went to my classmate's house to stay overnight."

It has been raining for the past few days, and I always wear a raincoat or bring an umbrella when I go out. Fang Yuanyuan went home alone for self-study a few days ago. Looking for a try, Leng Jiucheng extinguished the cigarette, "Let's go."

Leng Jiucheng does not drive a police car casually except for work needs, and his 90-year salary is far from enough to buy a car. He relies on bicycles for his daily commutes. He stepped on the bicycle seat and saw that Ding Chong was standing still: "What's wrong?"

Before entering the hospital, Ding Chong put away his umbrella and stood by the door. After entering the house, he looked around and found that the umbrella was gone. He didn’t know who passed by and took it away. It was raining so hard without an umbrella, and he would be drowned when he rode home. He sighed silently, “ The umbrella is gone."

Leng Jiucheng glanced at the door, got out of the car and walked in front of Ding Chong, took off his raincoat and put it on Ding Chong, sat back on the bicycle seat without saying a word, supported the car on his long legs and waited for Ding Chong, the rain quickly soaked his clothes , the water droplets flowed down the top of his head, he touched the rainwater from his eyes, and glanced at Ding Chong, "You want someone to carry you up?"

Ding Chong shook his head again and again, "I often get caught in the rain, so I don't need to wear a raincoat, you should wear it." He took off the raincoat while talking.

Leng Jiucheng: "..."

Exhausted of patience, he went directly to put his arms around Ding Chong's waist and put him on the back seat of the car, then lowered his head to fasten the buttons of his raincoat, put on his hat, and rode away without saying a word.

Zhang Juan couldn’t afford a bicycle. Ding Chong often took other people’s cars and had developed the habit of taking care of the driver’s feelings. When it rained, he would sit behind and hold an umbrella for the driver. When it snowed, he would help the driver prepare earbags. It was the first time for the raincoat, and a little warmth and shame spread from the bottom of my heart. The rain in the middle of the night was cooler than in the daytime, and the raincoat couldn't cover the trouser legs, and the calf and feet were soaked by the rain in a short while. It was quite cold, and he tilted his head forward. Shouting: "You'll catch a cold if you're constantly in the rain. Stop, I'll take off the raincoat and put it on for you."

"No need." Leng Jiucheng didn't stop on his feet, but instead speeded up, not giving Ding Chong a chance to take off his raincoat.

"You slow down."

Leng Jiucheng's speed remained the same, "Being humble to children is the quality that adults should have, and I will do the same if I change it to someone else without guilt."

Ding Chong: "..."

The child can't make it through?

It worked, though, and he felt less guilty.

The rain blurred his vision, and Leng Jiucheng couldn't see the road clearly. He accidentally rode into a mud puddle. The seat bumped and Ding Chong almost fell. In a hurry, he wrapped his arms around Leng Jiucheng's waist. The rain wet Leng Jiucheng's clothes. The cloth was close to the skin, and the abdominal muscles protruded piece by piece. Ding Chong's palm was touching Leng Jiucheng's abdominal muscle. It was hard and warm, burning Ding Chong's palm like a ball of fire. He withdrew his hand abruptly, and Leng Jiucheng Keep a distance, and then feel a little restless, look at the palm of the hand, look at the cold waist, I haven't seen him in fitness, where did the abdominal muscles come from?It feels really good, and it is the most masculine abdominal muscle that Ding Chong has ever seen.

"Which way to turn?" Leng Jiucheng's deep voice interrupted Ding Chong's wild thoughts, "Turn to the left, and then go straight."

When the car arrived at the door of Fang Yuanyuan's tablemate's house, Leng Jiucheng was completely soaked. After knocking on the door, Ding Chong took off his raincoat to cover their heads, and put up a temporary umbrella.

There was no rain for a while, and Jiu Cheng wiped off the rain on his face, and pushed his bangs up again, revealing his whole face. He has good bones, smooth lines, deep eyebrows, dark pupils, and indifferent eyes. His appearance and temperament are two lines.

Why do you want to think about whether a man is handsome or not?Ding Chong looked away unnaturally at the ground.

A middle-aged man came out to open the door. After some explanations, the man reluctantly called out his daughter. When he saw his classmate, Ding Chong took the initiative to communicate with the girl. None of the tablemates knew about going to Bai Ren's birthday party tonight.

Drenched in heavy rain, Ding Chong felt a little lost. He held on to his raincoat and said nothing. The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the road was covered with water up to his ankles. It seemed that the rain would not stop. If he drenched himself in the cold all night, he would definitely catch a cold , "Fang Yuanyuan is not a girl who likes to cause trouble, maybe she has to spend the night at a relative's house for something, since it's raining heavily, let's go back first."

Fang Yuanyuan went to stay at a relative's house, and her parents couldn't keep the door open for her. If she couldn't find anyone tonight, what she found might be a corpse tomorrow. Leng Jiucheng couldn't explain Fang Yuanyuan's current dangerous situation to Ding Chong. He remembered Chen Ling in the file. There is a record of accusing Ding Chong of murder. In the summer of 1990, on a rainy night, Chen Ling saw Ding Chong wearing a blue polka-dot raincoat, pushing a cart to the mountain, digging up the grave of Grandpa Ding Chong, and buried Fang Yuanyuan's body in the grave. After leaving, the heavy rain destroyed many traces, and there were few people in the grave, so no one found that there was an extra body in the coffin. Later, the police took Chen Ling to the Ding family cemetery and dug up the grave of Grandpa Ding Chong. There were really two people in the coffin. The bones, after DNA comparison, one of the bones was Fang Yuanyuan.

The police questioned Ding Chong about this, but he always refused to admit it, and even took the initiative to apply for the escort of Chen Ling to prove his innocence to the leader. Considering Ding Chong’s excellent performance on a daily basis, he chose to believe him, but he betrayed the leader to save Chen Ling. , many people were severely punished because of Ding Chong, which later became an indelible shame for the Jingchuan Municipal Bureau.

Ding Chong in the previous life overlapped with the boy in front of him, Leng Jiucheng silently looked away at the rainwater in the distance, if the murderer was Ding Chong, now Ding Chong is with him, as long as he does not separate from Ding Chong tonight, the murderer has no time to commit the crime, Then Fang Yuanyuan should be safe for the time being, but Leng Jiucheng changed his mind in an instant, he couldn't have such a fluke mentality, he had to find Fang Yuanyuan first.

"Go back to sleep first, I have to find Fang Yuanyuan tonight."

"What danger will she be in?" Ding Chong asked.

"Finding her is my private matter, you don't have to follow."

Leng Jiucheng still didn't say the reason, but his eyes were very firm. Ding Chonggang's heart hung in the air again, and he still had to find someone first. He took the initiative to sit in the back seat of the car, "We'll look elsewhere."

Leng Jiucheng drove Ding Chong to set off again, and did not go home or to his classmate's house. Fang Yuanyuan was probably still near the hotel. He came to the Lucky Hotel again by bicycle. It is impossible to contact the hotel owner to open the door right away, because the windows are locked and cannot be opened. If Fang Yuanyuan is locked in the hotel, there should be a cry for help. He leaned close to the hotel window and listened carefully for a long time, but there was no sound from inside.

Where will people be?

In 1990, there was no surveillance video and the Internet, so it was not easy to find people. Right now, we can only use the most basic method, relying on manpower to search a little bit. Leng Jiucheng decided to focus on the hotel and spread around, looking for each road.

They rode through the streets and alleys in the heavy rain, and rode to a place with few residents. Ding Chong shouted Fang Yuanyuan's name to the surroundings, and the only response was the sound of thunder and rain.

The heavy rain for several days made the Xilin River surge, the water was turbulent, and all the weeds by the river were submerged in the flood. If the heavy rain continued, the river might break through the dam. In the heavy rain, Ding Chong vaguely saw a long-haired girl standing by the river. "Brother Leng, look there is someone there."

The rain was too heavy, and it was so cold that Jiu Cheng kept rubbing his eyes to see what was ahead. There was indeed a man standing by the river, with long hair and thin body. Fang Yuanyuan looked like Fang Yuanyuan from behind. Walking forward, the girl suddenly jumped into the fast-moving Xilin River.

In the next second, Leng Jiucheng chased after him and jumped into the river without hesitation.

The girl couldn't swim, and she threw her hands in the water, "Help...help..." The water flow was too fast and the girl was quickly submerged by the river.

Leng Jiucheng plunged into the river, and the two disappeared on the river almost at the same time.

When Ding Chong came after him, the river became rough again, and there was no sign of him. He couldn't swim, so he jumped to his death in vain, so he could only worry about by the river. In just a few minutes, it seemed like centuries had passed, and finally he was cold. Ding Chong heaved a sigh of relief and stood by the river to pull people away.

The girl fainted, and Ding Chong carried him to the shore to rescue him immediately. Seeing that the girl was awake, he slumped on the ground, and Leng Jiucheng on the other side also relaxed, lying on the ground panting.

Ding Chong saw the exhaustion of Leng Jiucheng after the panic, and he strangled his neck on the first day he met him. He once regarded Leng Jiucheng as crazy and abnormal. On the day when the fingerprints on the murder weapon came out, he felt that Leng Jiucheng said At best, it would be stern and selfless, but at worst, it would be impersonal and rigid. Afterwards, he tried to adjust the tense relationship between the two, but he couldn't find a suitable point.

He looked at the Xilin River, where the water was tumbling. It is very easy to die in this kind of water, and the body may not be found. In such a dangerous situation, he did not hesitate at all when he dived into the cold nine times. It is not enough for his own safety. Regardless of being rigid, they are all Leng Jiucheng's coat. Under the coat is true bravery. Afraid of Fang Yuanyuan's danger, he braved the heavy rain to search all night. When he saw someone jumping into the river, he would not hesitate to save others. Warm heart.

The person who was rescued was not Fang Yuanyuan. The girl cried hard. She was broken up by her boyfriend tonight, and she jumped into the river because she couldn't think about it for a while. After waking up, she regretted it and thanked her repeatedly. The look of rejecting people thousands of miles away.

Ding Chong and Leng Jiucheng sent the girl home. Before parting, the girl asked Leng Jiucheng for the address of her unit and wanted to send a pennant. Leng Jiucheng didn't mention the address, but told her to live well.

The sky was getting brighter, the rain was getting thinner, and the two of them were left. Ding Chong couldn't help asking: "The current was so fierce just now, even if you can swim, it may be dangerous. Are you not afraid?"

Leng Jiucheng rode his bicycle and said indifferently: "I didn't think so much."

"Why didn't you tell her the address? Receiving the banner of being brave for justice will be good for your promotion and salary increase."

"unnecessary."

"You don't want a promotion?"

"Well, a promotion doesn't make sense to me."

"What matters to you?"

"the truth."

"Huh? What truth?"

"The truth of many things." Leng Jiucheng paused, then whispered, "For example, why did I come here?"

"Isn't it a job transfer? Your family is out of town? Do your parents agree to the transfer to Xilin Sub-bureau?" Little Trumpet Ding asked three times, but failed again in the census of household registration. Leng Hulu didn't answer a single question about these personal questions.

Ding Chong: "..."

The rain stopped, and there were people doing morning exercises in Xilin Square in the early morning. Leng Jiucheng Yiqiao got off the car and went up to identify them one by one. The people in the square were not Fang Yuanyuan, they were wearing wet clothes, and he couldn't help sneezing when the morning wind blew past.

It's no wonder that he didn't catch a cold after a night of rain. Ding Chong looked around and searched all around Lucky Hotel, but there was still no Fang Yuanyuan. She was most likely not in this area. "Brother Leng, go back and change clothes first."

Leng Jiucheng did not refuse this time. He rode his bike home to take a shower and change clothes. After the two of them took turns washing, it was already broad daylight. Clothes, clothes exude a faint soapy smell, which smells good.

He was too sleepy after not sleeping all night. After changing his clothes, Ding Chong fell asleep on the bed. He didn’t know how long he slept but was woken up by the alarm clock. There was a hot breakfast next to the bed. He was so sleepy that he couldn’t get out of bed. Leng Jiucheng was no longer in the room, nor were his parents when he returned home. He took his schoolbag and rushed to school, but Fang Yuanyuan did not come to class.

Ding Chong asked a few classmates, but no one knew what happened to Fang Yuanyuan. One day later, Fang Yuanyuan still hadn’t come. He went to Fang's house to inquire. Ding Chong knew the address of Fang Yuanyuan's home, so he accompanied his homeroom teacher there. As a result, Fang Yuanyuan didn't come home all day, and Fang's family thought she was at school.

Fang Yuanyuan disappeared for almost 24 hours. Ding Chong felt that something was wrong, so he went straight to the police station and told Leng Jiucheng about Fang Yuanyuan's situation.

There was an important meeting one day, and Leng Jiucheng was so busy that he didn't even eat dinner. He was full when he heard the news. Thinking of the worst possible outcome, he turned his head to look at Ding Chong. They were together all night last night. Ding Chong had no time to commit crimes. If the murderer was not Ding Chong, how could Chen Ling describe it in such detail?Even know where the body was buried?The method of burying the corpse was also the same as the method of killing Ding Chong said. There were too many mysteries lingering in his mind. He smoked a cigarette and decided not to think about it for now. The most important thing right now was to find Fang Yuanyuan. Even a dead body must be found.

In an instant, Leng Jiucheng thought of the place where Fang Yuanyuan's body was buried, "Where is your grave? Take me there."

Ding Chong was stunned, "What are you doing at the cemetery in the back mountain?"

Leng Jiucheng took the shovel, "You will know when you go."

Washed by the heavy rain, the soil on the tombs looked very new, and no one had been dug up. Leng Jiucheng asked Ding Chong, "Which grave is your great-grandfather?"

Ding Chong pointed to one of them.

Leng Jiucheng knelt down and kowtowed to Ding Chong's grandfather's grave, and then started to shovel the soil with a shovel. Ding Chong blocked it with a stride, "Are you crazy? What are you doing digging up my ancestral grave? Be careful that my great-grandfather will go to you at night."

Leng Jiucheng: "...:"

Ding Chong failed to stop Leng Jiucheng in the end, the soil was dug open to reveal the coffin, Leng Jiucheng greeted Ding Chong: "Come and help."

Ding Chong: "..."

Do you want my help in digging up my ancestral grave?

Ding Chong kowtowed three times to the coffin, and helped open the coffin while muttering "I'm sorry, Grandpa".

The moment the lid of the coffin was lifted, Leng Jiucheng was stunned. There was only a bone inside, not Fang Yuanyuan's body.

Ding Chong's good temper was exhausted, and he said in a bad tone: "What are you going to do?"

Leng Jiucheng: "..."

Now it's really digging someone's ancestral grave.

After apologizing, Leng Jiucheng filled the grave, thinking that the time and place were consistent with the records in the file. The photos of the bones on the file and the comparison results of the NDA were still vivid in his memory. He could never remember the details of the case wrongly, but Fang Yuanyuan Why didn't his body appear in the tomb?The murderer changed?Or because of his arrival, the original 1990 has changed?
