Swallowing the Seas

Jinhai Maternity and Children's Hospital.

"Song Bureau!" "Song Bureau, you are here!"

Song Ping nodded to the familiar doctors and nurses, walked through the corridor of the inpatient department late at night, pushed open the door of the single ward at the end, and stopped suddenly in the next moment.

On the hospital bed, Tao Ze's tender hand was still pricked with the needle of the infusion bag, and his small body was sunk in the snow-white quilt. Looking at the silhouette of the police uniform sitting on the edge of the bed, he asked softly, "What about that?" , do you know my mother? Where did she go?..."

"She is still in the hospital next door. Just like you, she has to take a lot of medicine and get a lot of needles every day. We can see each other when you are both better."

"Okay."

……

Tao Ze was sleepy, closed his eyes and fell into a quiet sleep, and the heart rate monitor flashed regular ups and downs.Wu Yu stroked his hair, sat up and turned around, and finally met Song Ping's speechless stare.

"How did you find this place?" The old bureau chief held back his words after a while.

Wu Yu curled the corner of his lips, although there was no smile in his voice:

"You concealed the news that the child is still alive, is it because you also realized that we are not safe internally, or is it because Wan Changwen's grandson will still be useful in the future?"

"I'm not you--"

"Tell me, if Bu Chonghua appeared in front of me now, would I beat him first or you first?"

Song Ping: "..."

Song Ping met Wu Yu's sharp gaze under the bright lights of the ward, his eyelids twitched wildly, and then finally withered.

Ten minutes later, in front of the window in the corridor outside the ward.

With a click of the lighter, Wu Yu lit a cigarette at the half-opened window, and exhaled a puff of smoke into the night sky.

Song Ping waved his hand in front of his nose vigorously, before his eyes slipped up to the "Hospital No Smoking" hanging on the side, he just heard Wu Yu say flatly: "Hold on."

"..." Song Ping asked sincerely, "I said, can you show a little, at least, a little bit of respect to your top boss?"

"If my former boss hadn't turned around while I was in a coma for six weeks and staged a tearful reluctance every day in front of my hospital bed, I would discuss it with my immediate boss. This drama of killing, defecting, and robbing a prisoner's car, and even performing high-speed racing in front of me." Wu Yu paused, and said: "I will have the last trace of respect for both of you."

"You, how can you say that about Bu Chonghua?" Song Ping held his breath, and slapped the concrete window sill righteously: "Although he killed Peng Wan, he actually wanted to keep you alive. And he just now After waking up from a coma, I dragged my sick body to see you for the last time, and combed your hair for the last time..."

"He woke up on the second day of the operation, and started to participate in the investigation within a few days. In fact, I was the only one who lay in a coma on the hospital bed for six weeks—this is because Associate Professor Jiang went to No. Yimin Hospital analyzed all of Bu Chonghua's medication records and came to a conclusion. By the way, intimate behavior without the other party's permission is called obscenity, and I did not agree with that Oscar-winning actor surnamed Bu to comb my hair."

Judging from Song Ping's face that wanted to get angry but could only bear it, Jiang Ting was probably among the people who were silently greeting him in his heart at this moment.

"And the reason why he admitted that he killed Peng Wan," Wu Yu said coldly, "is because it took you six weeks to find out how Peng Wan died in the secret room. In the end, he had no choice but to follow his plan and take the initiative to recite the truth." To be the scapegoat for murder, so that you can defect and become a drug lord, right?"

Song Ping immediately said, "Wait, wait, but you have no evidence at all..."

"I have."

"……What's the meaning?"

"Bu Chonghua didn't kill anyone, because Peng Wan didn't die in the secret room at all." Wu Yu sneered under Song Ping's eager, expectant, and self-disguised eyes, and said, "She died after the secret room was opened. "

Song Ping's movements froze for a moment, and then he was enlightened: "After opening?"

"Associate Professor Jiang and I went to the Municipal Bureau to transfer the video of the first batch of rescuers rushing to the scene and breaking in. Because it was very dark at the time, there was almost nothing visible in the video, but the sound was recorded very clearly. The police used the door valve to break in. A total of 296 audio channels occurred before and after entering the secret room, including dialogues, commands, roars, meaningless exclamation and exclamation particles, etc.; among these 296 audio channels, one is the key to solving the case, because the person who said this sentence That's all I said from the beginning to the end."

Wu Yu flicked the cigarette ash and smiled at Song Ping:

"—'Drainpipe, a child is dying'."

The two looked at each other, and Song Ping was worthy of being a veteran policeman of more than 30 years. He understood everything at that moment: "This sentence was said by the kidnapper!"

Wu Yu said: "Yes. The first batch of 12 search and rescue personnel who arrived at the scene belonged to the four units of the Port District Public Security Bureau, the District Police Station, the nearby special patrol police, and the police dog search and rescue team. I have separated these 12 search and rescue personnel I have had a conversation with them, and none of the voice characteristics can coincide with the voice characteristics of the sentence 'a child is dying'; now we only need to send the voice recordings of these 12 people to the technicians for analysis and comparison, and we can conclude that The official appraisal report can become the ironclad evidence that Bu Chonghua has completely overturned the case—"

"A 13th person was mixed into the rescue scene, that is, the murderer himself."

Song Ping stared straight at him, his heart was blank and he couldn't speak.

Although Wu Yu said it very simply, Song Ping himself knew that it would take repeated repetitions to pick out only one crucial clue from the chaotic scene, noisy human voices, and a total of 296 audio channels with crossing and overlapping. How many times have you observed frame by frame, listened to each word, and how strong and firm is your determination to reverse the case for Bu Chonghua.

Ever since Wu Yu woke up from a coma, everyone was telling him that Bu Chonghua killed Peng Wan, and Bu Chonghua himself said he killed Peng Wan.As long as Wu Yu's rationality and emotion have a little bit of confidence, or even a little bit of not being so determined, he will not be able to repeat the boring video hundreds of times, fight alone until the end of the mountain, and finally find out from the 296 voices. There is only one key point to solve the case.

"You..." Song Ping's voice could not help being a little hoarse: "How many times have you listened to that video?"

Wu Yu said, "Three times. What's wrong?"

"…………"

Wu Yu watched Boss Song's face change suddenly for no reason, and it took him a long time to hear him say coldly: "It's nothing, just keep talking."

"?" Wu Yu thought that Song Ping's inner activities seemed to be quite rich, but he didn't pay much attention to him.

"When Bu Chonghua and I were in the secret room, we searched all the corners and found no surveillance cameras, so we discussed two possibilities: First, the pinhole camera may be installed above our heads and cannot be touched. In the corner, the kidnapper uses it to monitor whether we have completed the killing game; second, the kidnapper does not need to monitor at all, because no matter whether we follow the instructions of the note to start killing, he will personally complete the ending of the game, that is Put one of us to death to achieve the ultimate goal of framing."

"Judging from the subsequent development of the matter, the kidnapper may have adopted the second method. He first turned on Bu Chonghua's mobile phone, waited for the first batch of police to arrive at the scene, and then mixed with rescuers from different units who were not familiar with each other. In the middle, I rushed into the secret room for the first time; when the patrol found me and Bu Chonghua lying at the gate, no one would have thought that the missing Peng Wan mother and son were also here. Peng Wan in the corner of the secret room." Speaking of this, Wu Yu changed the subject: "In addition, this can also explain why the murderer used a knife instead of the stones that can be seen everywhere in the warehouse, because the time for the murder is very tight and there is no room for him. At the risk of not killing Peng Wan with a stone, but being noticed by her screaming as she breaks free."

"Peng Wan was stabbed to death, and the death process was very quick, but judging from the length of the video, the murderer was forced to hide in the dark for nearly 10 minutes after she was killed, because the rescuers were busy checking the exit. The situation of Bu Chonghua and I, calling for an ambulance and reporting the specific location to the city bureau, a dozen people with flashlights blocked the only door of the secret room, and he couldn't get out. But the turning point came soon, just as the murderer was anxious While waiting, several people noticed that the scene was very dark, so they spontaneously spread out to look for the distribution box, and at the same time searched deep into the warehouse with a flashlight; when the murderer heard someone say, "Is this place locked up?" And when he asked "what's inside", he realized that someone was coming towards him, so he yelled something out of desperation—that is, the biggest key point of this case—"drain pipe, a child is going to die !'."

Wu Yu shook his head slowly: "Now that I think about it, the wording of this sentence is very provocative and strange, but no one would have noticed it at the time, because everyone's attention was immediately shifted to the very eye-catching red drain pipe in the dark. At the same time, he noticed the dying child. Taking advantage of the turmoil for a few minutes, the murderer calmly exited the secret room, and once he reached the dark night field outside the warehouse, he could escape.”

"And more importantly, by this time, the so-called 'secret room murder' has already formed a fixed mindset in the minds of the police, and they will not easily think of overthrowing it."

Song Ping spent a few minutes following his words to reconstruct the incident in his mind. After a while, he finally saw him nodding and picking up his mobile phone: "Wait a minute." Then he walked into the distance like the wind while making a phone call: "Hello, Secretary Weng? That's it. There is hope for Peng Wana's case. Now we need to compare the speech recordings of the following 12 policemen with a sentence in the video..."

Wu Yu lowered his eyes, and finally exhaled a puff of smoke out of the window, only to see Song Ping hung up the phone and came back excitedly, his face was full of light, and his tired and aging face seemed to be five years younger: "Get the identification evidence Then we're going to-"

"So this Secretary Weng is also one of the screenwriters of your anti-water drama?"

Song Ping stopped abruptly, his eyes wandered, and he said dryly for a long time: "Ah."

Wu Yu crushed the cigarette butt on the window sill slowly and heavily, the movement was very slow, the cigarette butt was smashed to pieces.That was obviously a normal movement, but for some reason, Song Ping's entire spine twitched twice.

Boss Song, who has been in the police force for more than 30 years, was extremely rare and could not hold back a small step against the wall. At this moment, Wu Yu finally turned his head - he thought that this young man would ask "Why are you hiding it from me?" or "Was Bu Chonghua forced?" But in fact he asked: "How long have you been planning?"

"...After the death pool incident." Song Ping rubbed his nose and looked out the window: "At the beginning, Bu Chonghua proposed it himself, and the organization didn't agree at all, but later... there is really no more suitable candidate than him."

Wu Yu narrowed his eyes mockingly: "Is there anyone more suitable than him?"

Song Ping smiled wryly: "Do you think it's easy to single out such a person from Jinhai? Professional undercover requires top-level professional skills, strong psychological quality, iron-clad loyalty and belief, and must have a clean resume to not be suspected by drug dealers at all... But there is a problem. It’s because we don’t have the conditions to slowly select from dozens of hundreds of outstanding high-achieving students like the special situation team in Yunnan. We can only find an active policeman who has a good reason for defecting, and Bu Zhonghua’s strong desire to avenge his parents is The most important point is to win the trust of sharks, otherwise, if you just pull a policeman to say that you are a traitor, you will be a traitor, and the drug lords will not believe it!"

"So those drug records, offshore accounts and bitcoins were all arranged by you?"

"Not all of them, more resources from the Ministry were borrowed." Song Ping swallowed: "There are also those blue and gold retailers that Bu Chonghua has connected to the Mariana Trench, in fact..."

No wonder Zha Bu Chonghua's criminal evidence for so many years is so easy, he simply buried mines and dug himself, going through the motions from beginning to end!

"After Bu Chonghua killed Ma Yin, he submitted a report to me, which listed in detail the preparations he was going to make for his 'rebellion'. For example, he was very resistant to the supervision of the Commission for Discipline Inspection. He didn't handle the case at work, and wrote [-] words of his dissatisfaction with the organization's review in the review report of the municipal party committee; when Yang Chengdong took him to the Wuqiao branch to ask what happened before and after Peng Wan's kidnapping, he deliberately provoked Yang Chengdong in public , and even declared that he didn't want to be this policeman for a long time, and his attitude was extremely arrogant... The huge changes in Bu Chonghua's character, speech, and behavior style were widely circulated in most of the Jinhai public security system. So when he admitted that he When Peng Wan was killed, many people actually didn't doubt it, and even thought that sooner or later there would be such a day."

"There's no need to continue praising that Oscar winner." Wu Yu said coldly, "I'm not very willing to listen."

"...uh." Song Ping was a little embarrassed, "Actually, we wanted to lay the groundwork for a while, and wait until the time is ripe before we start to act... to act, but because the two of you were hit by a car on the way to the port area Kidnapping, followed by murder in a secret room, this accident suddenly accelerated the process of the whole plan. The task force searched the entire secret room but could not prove that the two of you did not kill Peng Wan, and even later we began to suspect you two, In the end, Bu Chonghua can only say, before you fully wake up, he will accept the blame for killing Peng Wan first, so that we can arrange the main event of the jailbreak and rebellion."

Wu Yu didn't say a word, Song Ping squinted at his expression, and then coughed a little hesitantly and reservedly:

"Actually speaking, he didn't mean to hide it from you. He was just worried that when you were fully awake, you would do something drastic to prove his innocence, and even pleaded guilty in exchange for his freedom, so..."

Wu Yu said lightly: "I know, does my IQ exceed 80 in your hearts?"

"No, no, you really misunderstood this." Song Ping immediately got serious: "Before he left, Bu Chonghua said that if anyone in Jinhai could solve the murder case in the secret room, that person must be you, and only you can prove his truth." Clear."

Wu Yu asked mockingly, "Are the original words so sensational?"

Song Ping: "..."

——"If I plead guilty, Wu Yu doesn't have to abide by the principle of avoidance, and can participate in the investigation. He has been the most dangerous undercover agent for 12 years, and his professional quality is not comparable to that of rear investigators. He has an intuition for many details between life and death. They are also beyond ordinary people, if there is any hope of solving the case of Peng Wan's murder, the key clues will probably fall on him."

The monitoring equipment in the ward beeped, Bu Chonghua leaned on the bed and shook his head, Song Ping touched his chin suspiciously: "Are you sure that Wu can prove your innocence?"

Bu Chonghua was silent for a long time, and sighed: "Not necessarily. But there is no other way now, this case is almost dead, let's let the dead horse be a living horse doctor."

……

"Yes." Song Ping said firmly, "This is what he said!"

Wu Yu was dubious, and his expression relaxed slightly.

"However, the plan to rob the prison car went wrong." Song Ping secretly looked at Wu Yu, and changed the subject calmly: "We originally planned to give way to Chonghua to contact Shark to escape from the local prison in Jinhai, but we didn't." Thinking that Lin Hao actually found out the connection between Bu Chonghua and those drug retailers, he even reported in court. Although we originally wanted to take this opportunity to slowly 'discover' Bu Chonghua's evidence of drug involvement, but The kid surnamed Lin really caught us off guard, and in the end we had to give in to Chonghua to contact Shark urgently, robbed the escort vehicle halfway, and accidentally left you with the opportunity to drive hundreds of kilometers to chase people."

"—Do you still think that I am the most perfect person you have ever seen?"

"Stop! Otherwise, my next shot will not be a taxi!"

"Just treat your Bu Chonghua as dead in the secret room."

……

There was no trace of emotion on Wu Yu's face, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and held the extinguished cigarette butt in his palm with one hand, his slender fingers trembling imperceptibly, so hard that even the cigarette butt was torn apart.

"Bu Chonghua is still in North China, and has already met with Shark in secret once, and gained initial trust. According to the information he sent back, Shark will continue to send people to contact him in the next month, and wants to buy money from him at a high price. A batch of new fentanyl compounds." Song Ping patted Wu Yu's shoulder vigorously, and said in a deep voice, "We will do our best to use this opportunity to get closer to the sharks, and even wipe out the drug lords. At that time, Bu Chonghua's grievances will be cleared." Qing, after making meritorious service, it is time for him to return safely with a reputation."

Wu Yu's eyes, nose, and half of his cheeks were all hidden in the shadows, his skin was pale and cold, and there was an indescribable chill.It took Song Ping a while to see him laugh coldly, but the corners of his naturally downward lips didn't even mention it: "Yes, everyone who returned safely thought that the people behind could also easily cross that river .”

Song Ping was taken aback.

However, Wu Yu didn't explain, nor did he give him time to react: "Apart from you old leaders, who else knows about Bu Chonghua?"

"This," Song Ping looked away: "There is actually no one else in this matter..."

"Then who is his contact person?"

The surroundings fell into complete silence. Boss Song stared at the ground under his feet without saying a word for a while, as if he suddenly became very interested in the floor tiles in the corridor outside the ward.

Wu Yu withdrew his gaze, took out his mobile phone and made a call. After connecting, he said concisely:

"Hey, Jiang Ting? Do you think Yan Yan is still awake? You might want to have a good chat with him."
