soldiers in front

Gong Haiqiang is from Fuzhou County, Weining City. He and his wife opened a dry goods store in the county.Gong Haiqiang died in an accident. He was only 42 years old when he died. The accident happened on the way home.

Luan Yunfeng was widowed for six years after her husband's death, and has opened the dry goods store they depended on for survival. After several compensations to the victim's family and repayment of debts to the supplier, Luan Yunfeng has sold the house and lost her savings.She and her husband hadn't had children yet, and now her only livelihood and dependence is the increasingly shaky dry goods store.

After destroying Min Chengzhou's tombstone, she returned to the shop.The small county town six years ago has long been included as a development zone, forming a sizable town group with the surrounding counties. The appearance of the town has undergone earth-shaking changes, but her shop is still open in a cramped alley with mottled walls. , the shelves are loose.But the advantage is that the price is reasonable, even lower than the market price, so "Haiqiang Dry Goods Store" has been able to support it until now.

Xia Bingyang walked around the shop with an area of ​​less than [-] square meters, and when he turned to the counter, he saw a can of lollipops on the counter; very cheap candies, with unknown miscellaneous brands printed on colorful wrapping paper, packaged The paper has a layer of dust on it.It is estimated that this box of candy is only used as change, but the taste is very complete.

He raised his hand above the candy box, and glanced at the colorful lollipops one by one. When he saw the pale yellow peach, he reached out to grab it, but stopped a second before touching the candy wrapper, and turned to Pick up the green apple flavor next door.

Xia Bingyang tore off the candy wrapper and put the lollipop in his mouth. He took out five yuan change from his pocket and put it in the money collection box, and walked into the room.

Connected to the dry goods store is a hut, where Luan Yunfeng lives.

A red round table was placed in the middle of the room, and Lou Yue, Li Zhiming and the hostess Luan Yunfeng sat around it, while Ren Erdong didn't like the dark, damp and greasy smell in the store, so he avoided it with an excuse.

Seeing Xia Bingyang coming in from the outside, Lou Yue pulled away an empty chair beside her, dragged her chin with one hand and said in displeasure: "What are you doing, hurry up."

Xia Bingyang lamented in her heart that she was not a leader as a leader, and sat down beside Lou Yue, habitually leaning her body sideways and crossing her legs.

Every time Lou Yue sees his boneless appearance, she can't help the corners of her eyes twitching. She thinks that no woman can be as tired as Xia Bingyang. Every time, she is worried that Xia Bingyang will twist his slender waist into his spine Side bend.

With a lollipop in his mouth, Xia Bingyang looked at the woman who was over forty and said, "Ms. Luan, we probably already know about your husband's situation. I want to know..." Before he could finish speaking, the lollipop was caught by Lou. Yue pulled |out| from her mouth and threw it into the trash can by the table.

Xia Bingyang closed his mouth, touched his nose, looked at Luan Yunfeng seriously and said, "I want to know why you complained for your husband? Where is his grievance? What does it have to do with Min Chengzhou?"

It's hot in July, and it's been even hotter in Weining recently, but Luan Yunfeng is wearing a micro-knitted sweater and doesn't open the windows in the room. Her face is like white wax, and she seems to be weak to a certain extent.

Luan Yunfeng's temples were already frost-white, but she combed them meticulously, and her attitude towards the police was very unfriendly, with a bitter and indifferent look on her face.

"What do you understand?"

Luan Yunfeng sneered and asked back.

Xia Bingyang habitually wanted Ren Erdong to retell the whole story of the accident, but Ren Erdong ran out to hide, and Lou Yue was ordered by him and did not dare to order him, so he could only order Li Zhiming.

Li Zhiming received his wink, opened the notebook, and said in a serious manner: "On April 2012, 4, that is, six years ago, Gong Haiqiang and Luan Yunfeng went to the city to deliver goods. When they returned, a car accident occurred on National Highway 15. Gong Haiqiang Violating traffic rules and killing a pedestrian, Gong Haiqiang called 718 to report the accident, but wanted to escape afterwards, and another car accident occurred during the escape, the vehicle rushed off the road and overturned, Gong Haiqiang died on the spot."

Luan Yunfeng listened numbly to Li Zhiming's account of the incident that year.

Lou Yue asked: "Since he has already reported the crime? Why did he escape?"

Li Zhiming thought for a while and said: "The police officer who received the police back then recalled that Gong Haiqiang said that he hit a person on the road and he was still alive, so he told the police to go over quickly. Maybe when he called, the victim was still alive. When he found out that the victim was dead, he wanted to get rid of the criminal responsibility he was about to bear."

Lou Yue nodded and said, "It makes sense."

Lou Yue wanted to ask something else, but seeing Xia Bingyang tapped the table twice with her fingertips, she stopped talking.

Xia Bingyang looked at Luan Yunfeng calmly and said, "Although your husband didn't intend to kill someone, he hit a pedestrian and tried to escape. During the escape, another car accident occurred and he died. The police back then confirmed that your husband escaped in a car accident during the investigation. , where is the injustice?"

Luan Yunfeng's complexion was even uglier than before, as if the white wax had peeled off, revealing the color of the flesh.She clasped her hands tightly and said with a choked voice: "I am not unreasonable. I admit that my husband killed someone. I also sold the house to compensate the family members of the deceased according to the court's judgment. But my husband is not the main person responsible for the accident. !"

Xia Bingyang was a little surprised. Luan Yunfeng seemed to be just an ordinary woman with little education, but she even knew that the person responsible for a traffic accident also had priorities.

The next moment, when Luan Yunfeng dropped a document more than ten centimeters thick on the table, Xia Bingyang understood.

That thick stack was full of court judgments and traffic liability affirmations, as well as appeal materials from different periods.

It turned out that in the six years after Gong Haiqiang's death, Luan Yunfeng had been appealing.

Xia Bingyang picked up a stack, randomly distributed two copies to Lou Yue and Li Zhiming, opened a copy of the complaint, and only found a problem after reading a few lines.

"Second car?"

Xia Bingyang raised his dark and quiet eyes to look at Luan Yunfeng.

Luan Yunfeng wiped away the tears on her face with a palm as rough as bark, and said, "Yes, I'm sure there is another car at the scene of the accident, and my husband is not the main person responsible for the accident, we are also victims."

Xia Bingyang closed the document, and said seriously: "The license plate number? The model? Who is the owner? Why didn't you apply for escape afterwards?"

Luan Yunfeng lowered her head and said hesitantly, "I didn't see that car."

Xia Bingyang frowned: "Then why do you say that there is a second vehicle involved in the accident?"

Luan Yunfeng said anxiously: "I was so tired after delivering the goods that I fell asleep in the car. I didn't wake up until the car accident happened and the car bumped. Before going there, I heard a horn very clearly, our car is an old car, the horn is not that loud, and only big trucks have such a horn!"

As she talked, she became excited: "My husband has always obeyed the traffic rules. It is impossible for him to go the wrong way or speed up! It must be that truck going the wrong way or speeding. My husband hit someone to avoid that truck!"

Xia Bingyang buttoned the table, not being moved by her impassioned speech, and said, "Sit down."

When Luan Yunfeng sat down slowly, Xia Bingyang said again: "Although you spoke very well, we can't change and overturn the investigation results of that year based on your story alone. Didn't you tell the police in charge of the accident investigation of your guess in time? "

Luan Yunfeng covered her face and began to sob, crying: "Why not, but those policemen didn't believe me, they identified my husband as the person responsible for the accident, so my husband's death deserves more than guilt! But he wasn't, he really wasn't, he just did that Dead, I just fell asleep for a while, and he died!"

Lou Yue handed her a pack of tissues and said, "If your husband is not responsible, why did he run away? He can fully cooperate with the police in investigating the car accident instead of running away."

Luan Yunfeng was stunned for a moment, with a flustered expression on his face: "He, he may be too scared. He is an honest man. After hitting someone to death, he was too scared..."

Xia Bingyang shook his head in his heart, this reason really couldn't convince the police handling the case and the judge who sentenced him.

"Then what does your husband's death have to do with Min Chengzhou? Why did you go to Min Chengzhou's grave for revenge?"

Xia Bingyang propped his forehead and asked lightly.

Luan Yunfeng slapped the table and stood up, staring at Xia Bingyang and growled angrily: "He was the policeman who investigated this case back then. I kept looking for him and begging him, and I even knelt down to him! I begged him to re-investigate my husband's case." Case, I can't let my husband die in an unclear manner, I can compensate the family of the deceased, and I will pay them even if I sell everything! But I can't let my husband die a worthless and unjust death!"

Xia Bingyang looked at her calmly, nodded after a long time, and said, "Got it."

He stood up against the table, took off the sunglasses from his breast pocket, put them away halfway through wearing them, did not look at Luan Yunfeng, but looked outside the door and said: "I will check again."

Luan Yunfeng stared blankly at him walking out of the dry goods store, and asked Lou Yue in disbelief: "Girl, can he really check?"

Lou Yue patted the back of her hand and said, "Our team leader said he would investigate, so he will."

Luan Yunfeng still didn't believe it: "But, but is he in control? He looks like a girl and is young. I have found so many people but I can't control him. He..."

Before she finished speaking, Lou Yue laughed with a 'chi', looked at Li Zhiming and pointed out: "Looks like a girl?"

Li Zhiming looked at the door, pondered for a moment, and said, "It's not like that."

Lou Yue shook her head and laughed, thinking that this elder sister's appreciation of men is still in the era of unkempt rough men. Seeing Xia Bingyang who is more handsome and beautiful and well-dressed, she will take it as a "girl" alternative.If Xia Bingyang heard these words, Xia Bingyang would definitely be pissed and hurt internally, barking like a mad dog for a while before he would stop.

Luan Yunfeng was still babbling uneasy.

Lou Yue stood up, smiled at her, and said, "Don't worry, our team leader who looks like a girl keeps what he says."

Leaving Luan Yunfeng's personal contact information, Lou Yue grabbed Li Zhiming by the collar and dragged him up, leaving the dry goods store as well.

Walking out of the alley, Lou Yue saw Xia Bingyang squatting at the entrance of the alley, feeding the stray dogs sausages.

He peeled two sausages, one for his left hand and one for his right hand. He ate the one in his left hand and fed the one in his right hand to stray dogs.

Lou Yue walked up to him, folded her arms and asked, "How do you want to check?"

Xia Bingyang threw the remaining sausage on the ground, flicked the stray dog's ear, and asked, "Sister Lou, you are only seven months older than me, do you know why I keep calling you Sister Lou?"

Lou Yue was not interested in this topic, so she took out her mobile phone to read the news and let him talk on his own.

Xia Bingyang pinched his dog's ears and said: "Back then, in the police academy, during the summer vacation of freshman year, we, a group of seven gentlemen, went out to disco, and had some conflicts with others in the nightclub. Fighting with others, I didn’t expect everyone to be beaten so badly. But we didn’t dare to call the police. We are reserve policemen. It’s so embarrassing to stab them out. Just when we were about to suffer from being dumb, you picked up a wine bottle and killed us. , that skill... I still remember the handsome way you put the last fat man on the ground, stepped on his back, and picked up the wine bottle and blew on it. From then on, I am completely convinced by you, and everyone before and after respects you Sister Lou."

Lou Yue listened indifferently, waited patiently for him to finish, then picked up the phone and said, "So?"

Xia Bingyang stuffed the remaining half of the sausage into his mouth, stood up, chewed the sausage and gave her a thumbs up: "I admire you, respect you, admire you. You are the eldest sister, the boss, and a member of our Weining police circle. An overlord flower."

Lou Yue smiled and said, "Yes, speak, speak directly."

Ren Erdong drove Xia Bingyang's car over, stopped at the alley and honked the horn.

Xia Bingyang turned his head to look at his car, wiped his mouth after eating the sausage, and said, "Sister, go to the 718 National Highway where the car accident happened that year, ask the nearby residents about the situation, and stop by the squadron to get all the information. Come back. Dongzi and I have to go to Ran Jie's flower shop."

Not giving Lou Yue a chance to say anything, Xia Bingyang turned around and left after speaking, started running after a few steps, ran back to the car and drove away immediately.

In fact, he had his own reasons for throwing this thankless job to Lou Yue. He didn't care about the severity of the task, but compared to investigating a traffic accident six years ago, he wanted to find out what happened to Ran Jie now. How did he die.

He couldn't let go of the dead Ran Jie.

Ren Erdong held up his mobile phone and placed it in front of Xia Bingyang: "The investigation team of the Municipal Bureau sent some photos of the incident."

Xia Bingyang looked at Ren Erdong's mobile phone while driving, and all he saw were different angles of Ran Jie's body lying on the carpet.

In the photo, Ran Jie was wearing a yellow dress, the skirt was pulled up to her waist, her lower body was bare|naked, her hands were tied behind her back by her own underwear, her fatal wound was on her right neck, and she was stabbed|into her neck by a knife with a blade width of 1.8 cm Department, died of hemorrhagic shock.

Xia Bingyang had already seen the photos at the scene in the case files, and the photos sent by the investigation team were nothing new.

Xia Bingyang turned his mobile phone away, looked ahead and said, "Who cares if they want a photo? Didn't they find a flick|swing|knife on Ju Min's body? The results of the murder weapon appraisal haven't come out yet?"

Ren Erdong sighed, and said, "I asked, and the people in the physical evidence department said that the appraisal result has not come out yet."

Xia Bingyang sneered with a sullen face: "When did the people in the physical evidence department become so tired? A murder weapon appraisal has not been released for a week. The work efficiency is so low. Let Dang Hao consider replacing people."

Ren Erdong: "...are you talking to me?"

Xia Bingyang said: "Transfer my original words to Dang Hao."

Of course, Ren Erdong would not repeat the words according to his original words, he polished it up a bit before sending a message to the detachment leader Dang Hao.

Ran Jie's flower shop has been closed since the accident, Xia Bingyang called Ran Jie's cousin over to open the door.

Xia Bingyang stood in front of the flower shop, looked back to the intersection not far away, and clearly saw a taupe office building of the police station, where he worked.Before the accident, Ran Jie told him to remember to go to the shop to get the platycodon flowers, she stood where he was standing at this time, and cast a worried look at the police station.

"Look quickly, I'm in a hurry."

Ran Jie's cousin hated the policemen who had the same status as the murderer who killed Ran Jie. She opened the door and stood aside with her arms folded, ignoring them.

Most of the space in the small flower shop was taken up by flowers, and there was only one small counter where Ran Jie's personal belongings were placed.

After the incident, Ran Jie's flower shop was inspected quickly, and the investigation team did not find any items that could be clues.Xia Bingyang and Ren Erdong searched the small counter and the bathroom carefully, but still found nothing.

Ran Jie's cousin waited impatiently, looked at her watch frequently, and asked coldly, "Are you still okay?"

Xia Bingyang closed the drawer containing cosmetics, sat on the chair where Ran Jie used to sit, and looked around the store.

Ren Erdong whispered: "Let's go, there is nothing."

Xia Bingyang pondered for a moment with a face like water, then said in a low voice, "It shouldn't be."

"What shouldn't be?"

Xia Bingyang tried to re-examine the flower shop from Ran Jie's perspective, and said: "This is the last place Ran Jie stayed in before she died. We found no evidence of her contacting Bureau Min in her mobile phone. There is no evidence to prove that she Met with Bureau Min. Could it be that she and Bureau Min didn't meet or contact each other?"

"But we have searched several times, and there is nothing but flowers."

Xia Bingyang frowned suddenly, flower?That's right, he almost made the same mistake as the investigation team!

Because this is a flower shop, it is not surprising that there are many flowers, and they will not be included in the list of suspect items.They had indeed searched the whole shop, but the flowers had been left out.

"Check the flowers!"

Xia Bingyang took the lead in diving into the flowers. After more than half an hour of purposeful and aimless searching, they finally found the first clue of their trip.

"Master Xia, come and see!"

Ren Erdong squatted beside the operating table, picking up a bouquet of flowers from the cut branches and leaves and the leftovers of wrapping paper.

Xia Bingyang walked over and squeezed his ear: "Please treat me as your leader in front of outsiders."

"Okay, I will lead you to watch this."

It was a bouquet of pink roses, which didn't stand out at all among the flowers in the room, but Xia Bingyang felt that the trip was not in vain when he saw it the first time.

Ren Erdong picked up a card attached to the bouquet, secretly happy: "Did you see it, Lido Hotel 40F!"

That's right, 'Lido Hotel 40F' is written in marker on the card.

Xia Bingyang took off the card, put it in the palm of his hand and looked at it carefully, and found that there were water stains on the card, and the ink refill was stained with water, and it was smeared and discolored by the water stains.Xia Bingyang recalled the scene where Ran Jie sprayed water on the flowers in the flower shop, so Ran Jie must have sprayed this bouquet of flowers too.

Although it was sprayed with water, the words 'Lido Hotel 40F' were still clearly visible.

Ren Erdong said: "Is this bouquet of flowers sent by Bureau Min? Is this their 'contact code'?"

Xia Bingyang said, "No, it's not like Min Ju's words."

He took the card to Ran Jie's cousin to identify it. The cousin read it carefully and said, "I don't know, it's not our family's name."

The light of the setting sun came in at the door, and it happened to fall on the card in Xia Bingyang's hand. The smooth card reflected a piece of golden and copper-colored light, which flashed across Xia Bingyang's face.

Xia Bingyang suddenly turned his back to the setting sun, held up the card to face the setting sun's light, and kept turning the angle of the card, and found a blurry 'one' pattern under the word 'F' that was almost invisible.

F + one...

At this time, Ren Erdong ran out of the store in a panic, his expression changed suddenly, he looked at Xia Bingyang and said, "Just now Lang Xixi sent over the results of the murder weapon identification."

Xia Bingyang already had a premonition in his heart, looked at the card and asked calmly: "Is it the spring|spring|sword on Min Ju?"

Ren Erdong gritted his teeth, and said: "What's going on, the characteristics of the murder weapon do not match the spring|spring|knife found on Min Ju's body, the spring|spring|knife of Min Ju is not the murder weapon that killed Ran Jie! "

Xia Bingyang thought that it was true, it turned out that Min Chengzhou and Ran Jie were not lovers, so Min Chengzhou didn't have any motive to kill Ran Jie.

He pulled Ren Erdong a few steps away, facing the sunset light, pointed to a faintly visible pattern on the card: "Did you see it?"

"what?"

The corner of Xia Bingyang's lips slanted slightly, and he seemed to smile, and said, "There is a horizontal line under the F, does it look like... the letter 'E'?"

Ren Erdong stared at the card for a few seconds, opened his eyes, and said in surprise, "Lido Hotel... 40E!"

Xia Bingyang nodded slowly, and said: "That's right, it's 40E, not 40F. The last line of E was erased intentionally or unintentionally, and the room that Ran Jie went to should be 40E. But she went to the wrong room, at 40F Killed."

Ren Erdong tried to sort out the logic inside, and said with difficulty: "You mean, someone asked Ran Jie to go to Lido Hotel 40E, but the word E was destroyed, and Ran Jie misunderstood it and went to room 40F. Room 40F is the Min Bureau Sure, but Ran Jie broke in by accident, so...the murderer who killed Ran Jie might not be Bureau Min?" He shook his head again and again: "No, no, no, Ran Jie took the key to 40F at the counter, She knows who the person who booked the room is, and she also told the last four digits of the reservation number, how can this be explained?"

Xia Bingyang put the card into the evidence bag, and said: "There is only one explanation. The person who booked Room 40E has the same surname as Bureau Min, and the last four digits of their cell phone numbers are the same, at least the pronunciation is similar."

"You fucking dare to guess, this is too coincidental!"

Xia Bingyang hooked his neck, and said: "I have another guess; follow the line of thought that Ran Jie went to the wrong room. Since Ran Jie went to the wrong room, it means that Min Chengzhou didn't ask Ran Jie, let alone kill him. She. But it is an indisputable fact that Ran Jie finally died in the 40F room, and after Ran Jie died, Min Chengzhou couldn't explain why he booked a room in such a remote Lido Hotel. Min Chengzhou must have appeared on the 40F of the Lido Hotel His purpose, but he doesn't say it. Even if he is regarded as the murderer who killed Ran Jie, he still refuses to reveal his purpose."

Ren Erdong was already dazed by him: "My son, what do you want to say?"

Xia Bingyang looked at the fading sunlight between the gaps in the tall buildings, and said with a smile: "Grandson, Grandpa thinks there are two possibilities now; one, the murderer who killed Ran Jie was not Min Ju, but the person who gave flowers to Ran Jie. Two, The murderer who killed Ran Jie was Min Ju, and Min Ju's killing of Ran Jie was manslaughter. No matter which possibility is true, it shows a problem."

Xia Bingyang patted Ren Erdong's face, and said: "Our Director Min's purpose of appearing on the 40th floor of the Lido Hotel is not pure, maybe...his purpose is to kill people."

But no one expected that a beautiful woman walked into the room on the 40th floor of the Lido Hotel by mistake and became a victim of others.
