Swallowing the Seas

"Re-analysis results of physical and chemical tests by the Economic and Technical Investigation show that some of Peng Wan's hair, coat collar, and cuffs, the victim of the August 70 kidnapping and murder case, were stained with ingredients such as cornstarch, food coloring, zinc oxide, and methyl paraben. That is, prop blood. This kind of plasma was invented in the [-]s specially for film effects. It uses cornstarch as the base, zinc oxide as the emulsifier, methyl paraben as the preservative, and then adjusts it with blue and yellow pigments. The subtle color difference is more realistic and exquisite than the fake blood plasma sold in the general market, and it is difficult to tell the real from the fake even at close range."

With a clatter of paper, Xiaogui forensic doctor brought the analysis report to Wu Yu's eyes and shook it.

In the murder warehouse in the secret room in the port area, the physicist was squatting on the ground with a flashlight to collect the test materials. Wu Yu took the analysis report in his hand and looked at it for a while, then raised his head and looked at Jiang Ting.

"Wu Detachment!" At this moment, the physicist stood up and strode forward: "The results of the preliminary test have been obtained, look!"

Wu Yu turned around.

On the position where Peng Wan's body was formed after his death, a new line in the shape of a blood flow was drawn with chalk. The position is probably near the neck and throat when the body was lying on its side. It is the trace left by the prop blood, but the pigment has been removed by the murderer. It was cleaned up, leaving only traces of chemical components for the technical detectives to detect the area where the blood of the props flowed at that time.

"...She can't be..." Forensic doctor Xiao Gui said in disbelief, "She couldn't be trying to fake a murder scene, right?"

"If Peng Wan thinks that she can create a murder scene with just pretending to be unconscious and a bottle of artificial plasma, then her IQ should not exceed 80." Jiang Ting half-kneeled beside the chalk-drawn bloodstain outline, turning his head to look at Wu Yu : "Your speculation is right, she was indeed deceived by the murderer."

Wu Yu nodded, "The murderer gave her the confidence to fake things."

"Confidence?" Forensic doctor Xiaogui was full of doubts, "What confidence?"

"Playing dead and framing."

"what?!"

Jiang Ting and Wu Yu didn't speak. Forensic doctor Xiaogui seemed to have heard the most ridiculous joke he had been practicing for so many years, and couldn't help but look at them back and forth: "But autopsy, dissection, body identification..."

"What if the body is lost?"

Forensic doctor Xiaogui was taken aback, thinking that he was lost?

"——'The reason why we were able to rush to the river beach ahead of the police, shoot and kill the two kidnappers Ding Sheng and Deng Le, and then rescue you and take you away is because we are from the police. When Ding Sheng called 110 and surrendered just now We are standing by the phone. We have cooperated with Wan Changwen for many years and will send you and your son to Wan Changwen, but before that your father needs you to complete a task to prove yourself—pretend Dead framed a policeman.'”

Wu Yu paused under Xiaogui's forensic doctor's surprised gaze.

"'When we send people to break into the secret room, it will be very chaotic in the dark. You only need to pour this bag of artificial blood on your neck, and we can be the official witness to your death. The police will not immediately Those who touch the corpse will fix the scene immediately, take pictures and leave evidence, and then seal it in a body bag and send it to the forensic vehicle. Once in the vehicle, we will send someone to take you to your father, and the rest You don’t need to worry about it, we will arrange all this within the Jinhai City Public Security Bureau.’”

"But, it's such a clumsy lie..." Forensic doctor Xiaogui was still very puzzled, "Peng Wan has even a little IQ and I can't believe it, how could she really..."

"This is indeed a very clumsy lie, except for two points." Wu Yu said in a deep voice: "First of all, Peng Wan was almost torn up by the kidnappers, and was forced to tell Ding Sheng the whole truth about the kidnapping, and then was She was rescued while kneeling on the ground with a knife and waiting for the police to turn herself in. When Ding Sheng called 110, she knew that all her hard work, all her hard work, and all her crazy desire for a better life in the future had been wiped out. Waiting for her The only thing that happened was a broken family and a prison sentence. She probably regretted it so much that she would have died."

"—But," Wu Yu changed the subject: "Just as Peng Wan was in extreme despair, waiting for her to be handcuffed and taken to a police car, someone suddenly rescued her from heaven, shot the kidnapper cleanly, and claimed to be It was Wan Changwen who sent her to lead her to the new life she dreamed of—the huge prize of 5000 million was slammed on her head, and there are very few people who can maintain clear judgment at this time. Peng Wan is just a cornered ordinary criminal novice, she has no doubt I immediately chose to believe it was a normal reaction."

Forensic doctor Xiaogui recovered from the disbelief, and put himself into Peng Wan who was at the end of the road at that time, and all doubts were rendered speechless.

"...Then," he thought for a long time, and couldn't help asking: "You just said first, what about the second?"

—What is next?

Wu Yu opened his mouth, but closed it again. Looking at the air in front of him, he didn't make a sound. Jiang Ting also focused on flipping through the survey report and didn't speak.

"Wu Yu? Team Xiao Wu?" Forensic doctor Xiao Gui waved his hand inexplicably.

The physicists were all busy in the distance, and there were only three of them in the small open space around them. The human figures drawn in chalk on the ground were hideous and hideous, and the blood in the cracks in the bricks in the corner had turned into dark red and dry marks.

Wu Yu finally moved, turning his face slightly, the tip of his eyes under the thick eyelashes seemed to be shining with a strange cold light, reflected in Xiaogui's pupils.

But his voice was calm and gentle: "—Secondly, they didn't lie to Peng Wan."

"They really are the police."

·

Half an hour later, on the way back to the Public Security Bureau.

"——Peng Wan thought it was a test, but the murderer was serious." Jiang Ting held the steering wheel with one hand and took out the cigarette case with the other, motioning for Wu Yu to smoke one, and he himself took out one and bit it between his teeth. "So when she entered the secret room, she hid a small amount of food in her bosom, and the three-year-old Tao Ze survived by accident. But because of this concession, Chonghua became suspicious. Bu Chonghua's DNA was left between her teeth and nails, and it happened to be successfully planted."

The geographical location of the Nancheng branch determines that no matter when you go back, there will be traffic jams, the streets are bustling, and there are beeps and horns everywhere.The cold wind blows dead leaves across the pedestrian bridge and the changing traffic lights. It was very dark just after two o'clock in the afternoon, and lead gray clouds hung heavily over this huge city, as if brewing the first battle since the beginning of winter this year. heavy snow.

"By the time the rescuers rushed to break the door, she was probably already fainted. Even if she didn't faint, she would have thought it was a pre-arranged 'witness' coming, and she would not make a sound and the plan would be revealed." Jiang Ting turned his head slightly, causing Wu Yu to Leaning forward to ignite himself, "But there is a little doubt I can't figure out."

"how?"

"How did the murderer determine that it must be Bu Chonghua who jacked the tank?"

Indeed, if Wu Yu was the one who topped the tank, Bu Chonghua would not be dismissed, and Song Ping would not need to avoid suspicion, then the murderer would face an overwhelming mopping-up investigation force, which obviously violated the original intention of the design.Even if it can't fully achieve the expected effect, it must at least achieve the key purpose, otherwise it will be too much for the murderer.

"You will understand if you change your mind." Wu Yu knocked the cigarette ash out of the window, and said lightly: "Maybe the other party doesn't need to determine who is the one who topped the vat. It doesn't matter to him who is the murderer. Can Song Pingbu It's best to drag Chonghua into the water, if not, the next best thing is to get me out of the police force to achieve the goal."

Jiang Ting said unexpectedly, "You and Bu Chonghua have a common enemy?"

"Have."

Jiang Ting was slightly taken aback.

"At first I thought it wasn't there, but when I met Bu Chonghua that night, he told me that Shark had already had contact with Wan Changwen once, and this time he sneaked into North China to reach a final cooperation with Wan Changwen, that is, to The shipping channel of blue gold is placed on the Mariana Trench." Wu Yu took a puff of smoke and looked at Jiang Ting amidst the curl of cigarettes: "Whoever controls the shipment of blue gold will indirectly control the synthetic drugs on a global scale Pricing, which is a treasure bigger than a gold mine, is critical to the reemergence of the Mariana Trench site -- and is also critical to competing sites. And the only competitor in the Mariana Trench in Southeast Asia is you Do you know who it is?"

The dark web is indeed another field for Jiang Ting, but he still reacted immediately: "——The Ancient Tea Horse Road?"

"Yes, this little-known website was shut down by the Mariana Trench for several years. It wasn't until the Trench went offline a year ago that the Tea-Horse Ancient Road suddenly revived. Within a few months, it swelled and became the number one dark web in Southeast Asia. E-commerce." Wu Yu shook his head sarcastically: "I personally guess that the founder of the Ancient Tea Horse Road must also really want to reach a cooperation with Wan Changwen, but the shark took the first step and kidnapped Qin Chuan's trump card. Wait for the tea horse When Gu Dao came to his senses, it was no longer possible to find Wan Changwen from the vast crowd, and the only ones he could find were Wan Changwen's daughter and grandson, that is, Peng Wan and her three-year-old son Tao Ze."

Beep!

Jiang Ting stepped on the brake, and the big G stopped on the side of the road amidst the sound of friction, and several cars beside him honked their horns and drove away.

"..." The air in the carriage seemed to be frozen, Jiang Ting's side face had an ice-like texture in the dark blue light, and he asked in a low voice for a while, "You want to tell me that Tea Horse Ancient Road is someone from the police?"

Wu Yu said: "I'm not sure, but if we guess like this, we can explain a lot of things. First of all, even if people inside the police want to frame Bu Chonghua, there are many other methods they can use, and they don't have to stare at Peng Wan. Even if She is the daughter of the murderer of the Bu family massacre, and she has the motive to give in to Chonghua to avenge the murder, but the cost and risk of rescuing her from Ding Sheng and Deng Le are really too high, unless Peng Wan is of value to them. It’s not just a tool for framing. Secondly, Bu Chonghua had already reached a cooperation with the sharks at that time, and introduced many Lanjin demolition houses to the Mariana Trench. This situation must be stopped immediately for the Ancient Tea Horse Road. Otherwise, Jinhai The adopted son of the top leader of the Municipal Public Security Bureau can bring unimaginable benefits to Shark, what if he really helped Shark establish a logistics transfer station in North China? Wouldn’t the monopoly of the Ancient Tea-Horse Road in Southeast Asia collapse immediately?”

"But what does that have to do with you?" Jiang Ting frowned and said, "Why did the Ancient Tea Horse Road want to frame you, just to get revenge on the drug trafficking case in Daxing County ten years ago? It doesn't make sense."

It really doesn't make sense. Drug dealers take revenge on anti-drug police according to locality. This is North China, not the Golden Triangle.

"I know." Wu Yu leaned on the seat and said hoarsely, his closed eyelids were blurred in the light blue smoke, and he saw a haggard blue shadow under his eye sockets, and he opened his eyes after a while and shook his head: "But I always feel that it is not just the drug trafficking case ten years ago that exposed the tea-horse road. Maybe I have contacted them in the past, or the other party thinks that I already know something, but... it’s just that I haven’t realized it yet. .”

——Where did this paradoxical and subtle intuition come from?

From which event and scene in the past, did it remain in the depths of Wu Yu's mind like a clue?

Jiang Ting sighed almost inaudibly, took the cigarette butt that was burning to his fingers from Wu Yu's hand, lowered the car window and threw it into the trash can on the side of the road, and then started the big G.

"People's memory is layered. Don't worry if you don't have a clue for a while, but I tend to believe you." Big G drove through the intersection under the gloomy sky, turned on the light, turned right and entered the door of the Nancheng Branch, Jiang stopped. Parked the car under the gray building of the Criminal Investigation Detachment, and said: "I will call Yan Xie later, and ask him to keep a distance from the special case team as much as possible from now on, at least not to talk to anyone outside the Song Bureau until the inner ghost is investigated. Contact other leaders, otherwise it will be too dangerous for Bu Chonghua."

Wu Yu lowered his head and murmured.

Both of them got out of the car. It was really going to be winter in Jinhai, and the north wind was piercing into their necks and it was bitingly cold.Wu Yu was wearing a white shirt and black trousers, a black quilted assault jacket, and black leather gloves on his hands. He looked very sharp and neat; Jiang Ting was wearing a cashmere sweater and coat, with a dark gray scarf around his neck , walked into the building with his hands in his pockets, and turned his head to Wu Yu who was behind him and said, "You have to focus more, otherwise, once the lines on your face are closed, the whole feeling will be wrong."

"Ordinary people can see as carefully as you." Wu Yu lowered his head and strode up the steps in front of the main entrance of the building, and said, "I asked the doctor the other day, and it won't affect the sense of smell for the time being. The key now is..."

His footsteps suddenly stopped, and he looked straight ahead.

Jiang Ting also felt something at that moment, and turned his head slowly, inch by inch.

A group of people came out of the front building door, Wang Jiuling and several other directors followed Xu Zuxin, and Xu Zuxin was smiling and patting the back of an old gray-haired expert: "Professor Zhang made a special trip to work hard, this system is optimized to follow When you enter work... Hey, Xiao Wu, you two are back? Let me introduce you!"

Wu Yu's pupils trembled slightly, and the air seemed to freeze, but Xu Zuxin didn't notice it:

"Professor Zhang Zhixing is a retired tutor of the OUHK, a well-known network expert of the older generation borrowed by our Municipal Bureau. The dark web traffic monitoring paper you studied before was written by him! Isn't it amazing? ——Professor Zhang, look, this is Wu Yu, the head of the Criminal Investigation Detachment of our sub-bureau, is younger, so you can call him Xiao Wu..."

Wu Yu subconsciously took half a step back, his arms tightened, and Jiang Ting grabbed him.

"Professor Zhang," Jiang Ting panted slightly.

Zhang Zhixing froze on the spot, his face blank.He looked at Wu Yu who was a few steps away, looked at that strange but familiar face, and felt dizzy for a while; then he moved his eyes to Jiang Ting who was also speechless, and the scene of the two standing side by side seemed like Evoked some long-ago, deja vu fragments, and hit the head with a bang.

"...you..." He stared straight at Wu Yu, the corners of his wrinkled mouth opened and closed blankly, "you...are..."

"Ah, by the way, Xiao Jiang graduated from the Public University!" Xu Zuxin slapped his forehead: "Look at my memory, could it be that Xiao Jiang used to be an apprentice of Mr. Zhang?"

Xu Ju looked back and forth between the two of them with great interest, following Zhang Zhixing's tranced gaze, he saw Wu Yu's cold and pale face, finally smelled a strange smell in the air, and was stunned:

"You, you are..."

"Don't you know him, Professor?" Jiang Ting's every word was naturally calm, but the ending sound was like a bowstring stretched to the extreme: "He took an elective course with you for a year. Have you forgotten after so many years?"

"..." Zhang Zhixing closed his eyes, then opened them again, as if he was deeply trapped in a nightmare, and finally squeezed out a word with all his strength: "...solve..."

Wu Yu trembled all over, unable to speak.

"...Xie Xing," Zhang Zhixing murmured, "You are Xie Xing."

Wu Yu broke free from Jiang Ting's protruding hand, and stepped back half a step nervously, but Zhang Zhixing was stimulated by this action.He took a step forward from the stunned Xu Ju, then staggered two more steps, the invisible fuse in the void finally burned to the end——

"Come back! Come back!!" Zhang Zhixing rushed forward and grabbed Wu Yu who suddenly turned around, and said hoarsely, "Don't go! Come back and tell me!!"

Xu Zuxin, Wang Jiuling and others were completely stunned.

"Professor, please calm down first." Jiang Ting strode forward and tried to separate the two: "Professor, let's find a place first..."

"How did my son die? What did you tell the investigation team?" Zhang Zhixing turned a deaf ear and held onto Wu Yu's arm tightly: "Tell me what happened the day he committed suicide by jumping off a building! Tell me!!—— "
