Chapter 278 Halfway XX
The third day after New Year's Day.

It takes five hours to drive from Guangxing City to Shahe County.

The black BMW was driving on the winding national highway. The further north we went, the colder the weather became.

Luo Rui curled up in the passenger seat, dozing off with his arms folded.

Tian Guanghan was driving, Chu Yang and Su Mingyuan were sitting in the back seat.

The three of them all lived in provinces and cities, so they went to Shahe County together with Luo Rui.

Chu Yang rubbed his hands and blew a breath into his palms: "The temperature shows that it is only 5 or 6 degrees. If we get to the county town, I'm afraid the temperature will be even lower."

Su Mingyuan shook his feet and complained, "Old Tian, ​​can you turn on the heating?"

Tian Guanghan quickly shook his head: "No, I feel like dozing off when the heater is on."

"Drive a little faster. Don't you see that the windshield is fogged up? The road we are driving on is all mountainous, and the temperature is getting lower and lower. If something goes wrong, it will be terrible!"

Tian Guanghan hesitated for a moment, but still turned on the heater.

Luo Rui next to him moved his body and continued to rest with his eyes closed.

Tian Guanghan sighed: "Oh, it's really hard to go to Shahe County to work in such a cold weather."

Chu Yang joked, "Old Tian, ​​what are you complaining about? When you gave a speech at the commendation meeting, you said with all your heart that you would serve the people, not be afraid of hardship, and work hard without complaint. Why did you change your mind now?"

"When did I change my mind? I, Old Tian, ​​will always have a heart that faces the sun!

But the conditions in Shahe County are indeed difficult. We have been there several times, and as you can see, this place is surrounded by mountains on three sides, the people there are tough, and many people go missing every month.

The hardware facilities are not complete, for example, the road monitoring and biological sample detection technology are quite backward, and the investigation mainly relies on No. 11 bus. "

Su Mingyuan curled his lips and said, "This is exactly the opportunity to make a contribution. By the end of this year, our criminal team will definitely shine again."

Tian Guanghan had a frustrated look on his face: "You are getting more and more biased. I said the conditions are difficult, not our ability! I heard from Fang Yonghui that the dormitories in the county bureau are all eight people per room!

My roommate’s smelly socks and dirty underwear, ugh… just thinking about this makes me feel uncomfortable all over.

I have mysophobia anyway! At worst, I can pay to rent a single dormitory next to the county bureau."

Chu Yang and Su Mingyuan didn't care much about this. After all, they had just graduated a few years ago and could still adapt to collective life.

Tian Guanghan is in his forties and has already married and has children. Of course, he is very opposed to collective life.

At this time, Luo Rui opened his eyes slightly and said nonchalantly: "Don't worry, I bought a building next to the county bureau, which is enough for each of us to have a room."

Upon hearing this, the car suddenly fell silent.

Tian Guanghan opened his eyes wide, looked at the road, and then glanced at Luo Rui.

"Team...Team Leader, you bought a building? This... is so exaggerated?"

Su Mingyuan leaned out from the back seat and squeezed between the two front seats.

"Team Leader, is this true? Did you really buy a building?"

"Yeah." Luo Rui twisted his body and seemed to be unconcerned.

"No, a building!" Su Mingyuan swallowed his saliva and said excitedly: "How much will it cost? Tens of millions?"

Luo Rui curled his lips: "A small farmyard with three floors, not worth much."

Tian Guanghan still couldn't believe it and couldn't help asking, "Team Leader, why did you think of buying a building? Isn't it specially for us to live in?"

Hearing this, Chu Yang and Su Mingyuan looked at each other. Don’t say it, this is really possible.

Unexpectedly, Luo Rui shook his head and said: "You think too much. I bought the house for investment. Now the housing prices are rising every year. I am still optimistic about the future economic environment of Shahe County. I will buy it again when the housing prices rise again.

Moreover, this location is only ten minutes away from the county office, so the geographical location is quite good.”

Although he said this, no one really believed it.

Luo Rui is rich and never stingy.

Whether he was helping Meng Jun, who had nothing to do with him, or Qi Lei's family, he extended a helping hand.

After Qi Lei sacrificed himself, he gave a sum of money to Qi Lei's son to ensure the life of the orphan and his widowed mother.

Everyone saw it, whether it was Tian Guanghan, Chu Yang or Su Mingyuan, they all understood that following Luo Rui was the right choice.

Even if I die one day, I will always think about my family.

With this in mind, Tian Guanghan slowed down the car. "Team leader, you can sleep a little longer. I will drive slower."

Chu Yang and Su Mingyuan both tactfully stopped talking.

At this time, it was already ten o'clock in the morning, but the further north we went, the more mountains there were, and the fog was lingering in the mountains and had not dissipated.

Soon, they saw the blue traffic sign for Linjiang City.

This has reached the territory of Linjiang City.

Then, a minibus carrying passengers came from behind.

"Flute, flute..."

The minibus driver kept honking the horn, which made Tian Guanghan very angry.

"Hurry up, hurry up! You're driving so fast in the fog and you want to overtake me!"

Tian Guanghan got angry and refused to move aside.

At this time, Luo Rui opened his eyes and advised: "Old Tian, ​​don't bother with him, let's pull over."

"What a bunch of uneducated guys!"

Although he was still complaining, he still followed Luo Rui's instructions, slowed down and moved the car to the side.

However, Tian Guanghan couldn't bear it anymore. He rolled down the car window, and when the minibus overtook him, he stretched out his hand and gave him the middle finger.

Unexpectedly, there was a middle-aged woman sitting in the passenger seat of the minibus, and she also lowered the window.

Because the minibus was quite high, the woman coughed a little in her throat and then spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm, which happened to land on the windshield of the BMW.

"I rely on!"

Tian Guanghan suddenly got angry, and holding the joystick, he wanted to increase the horsepower to catch up.

Luo Rui quickly grabbed his hand: "Don't get angry! Stay calm."

"No, team leader, I really can't stand this. Look, this stinky... She even laughed at me!"

Luo Rui looked up and saw that the minibus had already driven ahead.

There were many passengers sitting on the minibus, they were leaning against the windows and sleeping.

Su Mingyuan said: "This bus came back from another place. It should be a bus returning home for the New Year. At this time, bus drivers are making money, so they drive faster. If they carry fewer passengers, they will earn less money."

"You drive fast, but you have no manners!"

Tian Guanghan let out a breath, started the windshield wipers, and wiped away the thick phlegm, but he still felt uncomfortable.

Seeing that he had calmed down, Luo Rui let go of his hand.

Chu Yang said: "During the Spring Festival every year, the weather is freezing cold, and in some places there is heavy snow, making the roads slippery. There are too many accidents on buses returning home. If an accident happens, dozens of lives are lost. These guys don't even care about their lives in order to make money."

Su Mingyuan echoed: "Not only that, the drivers of long-distance buses are all driving when they are tired. It's okay if two drivers take turns driving, but if there is only one driver driving, it would be too dangerous."

"Then I wish him..."

Tian Guanghan wanted to curse the other person, but suddenly remembered his identity and immediately stopped talking.

Afterwards, Luo Rui and his team continued on their journey, which was still three hours' drive from Shahe County.

Luo Rui said: "Old Tian, ​​if you are tired, tell me and I will drive for a while."

Tian Guanghan shook his head: "It's okay, it's only six hours. Besides, I've never driven such a good car before, and the push-back feeling is really good!"

Seeing him grinning, Luo Rui didn't force him and continued to take a nap.

Luo Rui did not get a good rest during the New Year's Day.

Ever since Xie Wanli knew his identity, she had been asking him for advice on almost everything, big or small, especially the location of the company. Luo Rui and Mo Liguo ran around for a whole day and finally rented an office floor of 1,500 square meters in the most prosperous CBD in Guangxing City.

This building belongs to Wanda Group, which brings together domestic and foreign investment companies and foreign trade companies.

Luo Rui's neighbor, Old Mike, works for a food delivery company in this building.

In addition, Sanli Film and Television is also in this building.

The last time Luo Rui met Bao Tianqiang, he learned from him that the current boss of Sanli Film and Television is Ye Fengming's biological sister Ye Mei.

His suggestion was that if one wanted to deal with Ye Fengming, one could start with Ye Mei.

On the same day, Luo Rui went to the floor where Sanli Film and Television was located and confirmed the authenticity of the news.

However, Luo Rui felt that the time was not yet ripe to deal with Ye Fengming.

As for this woman Ye Mei, he also needs to investigate her detailed background so that he can prescribe the right medicine.

Ye Fengming indirectly killed two criminal police officers, Luo Rui would never let him go.

It is not a gentleman not to avenge one's grudges.

An hour and a half later, we were out of Linjiang City. The mountains in front of us became more and more numerous and higher, and the temperature dropped by several degrees.

Tian Guanghan drove very carefully. When he turned a bend, he suddenly saw a group of people standing in the middle of the road.

These people were panicking and shouting something loudly.

"Something seems to have happened ahead!"

Tian Guanghan shouted, waking up Luo Rui who was sitting in the passenger seat.

Su Mingyuan pulled the seat in front of him and looked over: "Isn't this the same minibus as before?"

"It seems so..." Tian Guanghan raised his eyebrows.

There is very little traffic on this national highway, with no cars in front or behind.

Only Luo Rui and his companions' BMW car approached slowly. When it was about to reach the crowd, Tian Guanghan stepped on the brakes.

Luo Rui sat up and saw several men surrounding him.

"The car windows are halfway down. Everyone, please don't get out of the car yet. Let's figure out what's going on first."

Everyone nodded.

The man in the red cap walked up to Tian Guanghan's car window and pleaded, "Brother, we were robbed. Two people in the car died, and a woman was stabbed twice. She is probably dying. Can you please take her to the hospital?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Rui frowned and asked, "Have you called the police?"

"We've called the police and the ambulance, but this place is in the middle of nowhere, so it'll take time for them to get here. There's a seriously injured patient who's almost dying."

Luo Rui nodded, Tian Guanghan immediately drove the car to the side of the road, and the four people got out quickly.

The minibus was parked in the middle of the road, and dozens of passengers were standing on the side of the road. Some were crying, while others were still in shock and their faces turned pale.

Luo Rui looked at the man and asked sternly, "What's your name?"

The man took off his red baseball cap and looked at Luo Rui with some caution.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Luo Rui didn't dare to delay and ran towards the bus with three people.

As soon as they got on the bus, they smelled a strong smell of blood.

The driver of the minibus fell on the steering wheel with blood on the back of his head.

Blood flowed from his head and ears in strings.

Luo Rui quickly helped him up, touched his chest with his hand, and checked his breathing.

The driver has died.

"Team leader, this woman is still alive!" Chu Yang shouted from behind the car.

Luo Rui hurried over and saw a middle-aged woman lying on the seat. This woman was the one who spat at Luo Rui and the others earlier.

She was stabbed in the abdomen and chest, and her blood soaked the blue seat.

"Chu Yang, Ming Yuan, you two carry her out of the car. Be careful not to disturb the wound. Stop the bleeding and contact an ambulance immediately. Let's see when they can arrive."

Luo Rui did not plan to send her to the hospital directly, but to find out the situation first.

In this case, moving the injured person may cause secondary injury.

Tian Guanghan squatted at the rear of the car and shouted to Luo Rui: "Team leader, there is another one here."

Luo Rui walked sideways and saw a young man sitting on a chair.

His head was tilted and he had been stabbed several times in the chest.

Tian Guanghan sniffed and shook his head: "He's dead too!"

"Old Tian, ​​look through the bags of the two dead and find their ID cards. Be careful not to contaminate the scene."

"OK, I see."

Chu Yang and Su Mingyuan had already carried the woman out of the car. The crowd immediately gathered around and started talking about it.

The woman didn't move and her face was pale.

The man who had just asked for help said, "It's too late. He can't be saved."

Chu Yang and Su Mingyuan put the woman on the ground, knelt down, and sniffed her breath again.

Seeing Luo Rui get off the car, Chu Yang immediately shook his head: "Dead."

"Contact the Linjiang City Criminal Police Detachment, find Kang Bolin, and tell him about the situation here."

"Ok."

"Mingyuan, go to the trunk and get the warning sign. Put it in front of the curve to warn the vehicles behind to be careful."

"I'll go right away!" Su Mingyuan responded.

Luo Rui took out his police ID, raised it above his head, and shouted to the crowd: "Don't panic, we are criminal police. We will investigate what happened here immediately."

When the crowd heard the word "police", they immediately became noisy and shouted at the same time: "Officer, the gangster stole my wallet, you have to compensate me!"

"Officer, I was working away from home for a year, and all the cash I had was taken away! Can I ask the government to reimburse me for this money?"

"That group of people just now were too brutal. Not only did they rob, they also killed people. Oh my god, officers, if you don't catch them, we won't be able to survive this year! Woo woo..."

"Officer, please take me to the city. My bank card has been stolen. It contains my hard-earned money. I need to go to the bank to freeze it..."

……

Dozens of people surrounded Luo Rui, and he felt dizzy.

"Stop making so much noise!"

Luo Rui's scolding was completely useless.

There were nearly forty passengers on the bus, and judging by their clothing and appearance, almost all of them were migrant workers.

There is a sign on the dashboard of the minibus with the starting and ending points written on it.

The departure city is more than 1,600 kilometers away from here, and the destination is Shahe County.

In other words, the registered residence of these passengers is all in Shahe County.

It is not easy for migrant workers to make money. They cannot go home once a year and have to be very frugal in food, accommodation and clothing. Everyone hopes to save money and go home to have a good New Year.

Now that all their money had been taken away, the passengers were inevitably agitated.

Luo Rui sighed, looked at Su Mingyuan who was running from a distance, pointed at him and said, "You go find my colleague, he's also a policeman, he'll record anything you lose, but everyone needs to show their ID, if you don't have an ID, think of your ID number yourself."

When everyone heard this, they quickly surrounded Su Mingyuan.

Su Mingyuan complained bitterly and nodded: "Everyone, don't crowd in the middle of the road. Come to the side of the road and line up one by one. Don't make a mess."

At this time, Luo Rui pulled the man who had asked him for help earlier and said, "Come with me."

The man swallowed and nodded.

The two came to the back of the minibus, and Luo Rui asked, "What's your name?"

"Zhao Jianlong."

"Tell me what happened just now?"

"Look, officer, we've got a robbery."

"I know it was a robbery. Do you know what happened before and after the robbery?"

Zhao Jianlong nodded: "About 20 minutes ago, we arrived at this place and saw a car accident in front of us. Two cars rear-ended each other and stopped in the middle of the road. We couldn't get through.

Several people were arguing on the road, and our driver honked the horn for a long time, but they didn't care.

So the driver got out of the car and suggested to them if they could move the car to the side so that we could pass first, but they refused.

The driver had no choice but to persuade them and stuff a pack of cigarettes into each of them before they agreed.

Originally, this matter had been discussed and our driver had returned to the car, but who would have thought that these few people would also get on the bus and ask the driver to borrow a wrench, saying that they would just fix the car first and it wouldn't take a few minutes and they would leave right away.

Our driver didn't suspect anything and took a wrench from under the dashboard and handed it to the other party.

But who would have known that as soon as the other party took the wrench, he hit the driver on the back of the head.

I used too much force and the blood kept oozing out.

The driver fell on the steering wheel, another person pulled out the bus keys, and several people outside the car jumped up at once, all holding machetes and some holding daggers in their hands.

The leader was holding a sawed-off shotgun and told us to hand over all our money.

No one would be willing to do that. Who would be willing to hand over their hard-earned money?

So one of the robbers took out a dagger and stabbed the woman twice.

Seeing that someone was killed, no one dared to say a word and took out all the money.

One of the robbers took out a cloth bag and walked from the front of the train to the trunk, asking us to throw our cash and cell phones into the bag.

The young man sitting in the back seat hid most of the cash in his leather shoes while the robbers were not paying attention. However, he was discovered by the robbers and stabbed several times.

Seeing another person dead, we were all scared by the way these people killed people without blinking an eye.

Those who had hidden the money before took it out on their own initiative.

I saw several female passengers taking out their hidden gold earrings and gold necklaces..."

Luo Rui complained in his heart, this group of people are very experienced, and they must have a criminal record. If he was a newbie, the plan would not be so thorough. Don't think killing is easy, unless you have experience in slaughtering livestock, anyone would be scared.

Not only did they rob, they also dared to kill people, and they killed three people in a row. These people are simply insane.

Luo Rui frowned and asked, "How many robbers are there in total?"

Zhao Jianlong rolled his eyes and replied, "It seems like five people..."

"you sure?"

"I saw five people. Two of them came up to borrow a wrench. One of them hit the driver on the back of his head with the wrench, and the other pulled out the key of the bus.

Then three more people came up, but the one with the gun was wearing a mask."

"Only one person was wearing a mask?"

Zhao Jianlong confirmed: “Yes!”

"Where are the other four?"

"The other four all had their faces exposed."

"Did you see the face of the man wearing the mask clearly?" Luo Rui pondered, "I mean, when they were pretending to quarrel on the road, did this man appear?"

Zhao Jianlong shook his head: "I don't remember."

"Which row of the bus were you sitting in?"

"Third row."

"Who are the passengers in the first row?"

Zhao Jianlong looked at the group of people who were taking statements, pointed at a few people, and said, "It's those few people, but they were all sleeping in the car, so they may not know what happened at the time."

Luo Rui nodded, and then asked: "How many cars did the robbers have in total?"

"Two cars."

"What car?"

"One was a black Jetta, and the other was a model I didn't recognize."

"Do you know the license plate number?"

"I didn't notice."

"Where's the license plate from?"

"From Shahe County."

"Okay, thank you for your cooperation." Luo Rui thanked him. At this moment, he heard the urgent sound of sirens behind the bend. "By the way, by the way, what was stolen from you?"

"A Nokia cell phone."

"Where's the money?"

"I had 500 yuan in cash in my wallet, and I gave it all to the robber. This amount of money is nothing. I had already sent my own money back home in advance." Zhao Jianlong sighed.

Luo Rui nodded: "Don't worry, our police will definitely help you get your money back."

"That's the best."

Luo Rui took out his cell phone and asked, "What's your cell phone number?"

"1367829XXXX."

Luo Rui dialed the number and called.

As soon as the call was connected, he immediately hung up.

Although these robbers are experienced, the mobile phones they stole have not been turned off yet.

As long as we act quickly and locate the mobile phone information, it should not be difficult to catch these people.

At this time, a large number of police cars drove over from the other side of the bend.

Before the police car came to a complete stop, Linjiang City's Criminal Investigation Team Leader, Kang Bolin, immediately opened the door.

He did not walk towards Luo Rui, but went around to the police car behind and opened the back door.

In Linjiang City, Municipal Bureau Director Wan Mingxia got out of the car wearing a uniform and with a serious face.

Seeing this, Luo Rui sighed and shook his head slightly.

When did Kang Bolin become a flatterer?

Instead of quickly checking the crime scene, he went to help someone open the car door!

Luo Rui met Wan Mingxia's gaze and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

Hu Changyu was previously in charge of investigating X. After he stepped down, Wan Mingxia took over the responsibility and also treated Luo Rui as a suspect.

Linjiang City is no longer the Linjiang City of the past.

Kang Bolin is not the Green Ghost Chen Hao either.
