Mystery Tracker 3

Hearing Jiang Ruiheng's words, the man on the opposite side was also stunned. He carefully identified Jiang Ruiheng's face, and then he was also taken aback: "You are... Xiao Jiang?"

"It's me." Only then did Jiang Ruiheng confirm that he did not identify the wrong person, and he asked, not without surprise, "Fu Dui... why did you come to S City?"

The man subconsciously looked at Li Jiayu next to Jiang Ruiheng, and then Jiang Ruiheng remembered, and hurriedly said: "Oh, I forgot to introduce, this is my colleague Li Jiayu; Jiayu, this is Fu Dingchuan, when I was an intern I once went to town X to handle a case with my master, and Dui Fu was the deputy head of the criminal investigation team there at the time."

Li Jiayu looked at the man on the opposite side. This man was about 50 years old, not tall, and his complexion was a kind of dark skin caused by the wind and sun all year round.He is thin but not weak. On the contrary, the muscle lines of his arms are obvious, and he has a certain skill at a glance.What's more prominent is the firmness between his eyebrows and the obvious Sichuan pattern, which is the standard for a front-line veteran policeman.It's just that this person's face looks a little pale now, and he seems to be sick.

Over there, Fu Dingchuan smiled awkwardly after hearing Jiang Ruiheng's introduction, waved his hand and said, "It's been a long time ago, I'm not a policeman anymore, so don't call me that, just call me Brother Fu That's it."

Li Jiayu glanced at Jiang Ruiheng, seeing the hesitant expression on his face, he knew there must be something hidden in it, so he didn't ask further, just nodded with a smile, and said politely: "Brother Fu, hello."

"Brother Fu," Jiang Ruiheng over there also changed his address, "What's wrong with you, have you come to City S?"

"I came here last year. I didn't want to stay in the original place, so I changed it. Why did you come to S City? I remember you are from Beijing, right?"

"I was in Beijing at the beginning, and then I worked here for a few years, and I returned to Beijing at the end of the year before last. Where do you live now? What are you doing?"

Hearing this, Fu Dingchuan pointed to the front: "There is a nursing home in front, and I'm working as a nurse in it now." Seeing Jiang Ruiheng's slightly surprised expression, he smiled, "It's a good job, with food and lodging included. The salary is also quite high. I usually chat with those old people, feed them a meal, take a walk, etc., and I am not tired at all." After speaking, he looked at Jiang Ruiheng and Li Jiayu, "You guys have something to do Right? Hurry up and do your business!"

After finishing speaking, Fu Dingchuan went to carry his things to say goodbye.However, he didn't know whether the bag was too heavy or something was wrong with his body, but he didn't lift it once.Seeing this, Jiang Ruiheng frowned: "Brother Fu, you don't look very well, are you sick?"

"Oh, I had a bad stomach a few days ago, and I've had diarrhea for two days, so I'm a little weak." Seeing Jiang Ruiheng's concerned expression, Fu Dingchuan smiled, "Don't worry, I've recovered today, but I haven't fully recovered my strength yet."

"Diarrhea can be big or small." Jiang Ruiheng said, "How did you cause the diarrhea? Did you go to the hospital for the doctor to see?"

Hearing this, Fu Dingchuan smiled: "Our nursing home also has doctors. Don't worry, I'm really fine."

As if to prove that there was nothing wrong with him, Fu Dingchuan tried his best to pick up the two big bags.Jiang Ruiheng looked at his slightly swaying body and frowned, so he stepped forward and snatched a bag from him without any explanation: "Since you are still weak, don't carry such a heavy thing. I'll help you send it back Bar."

"No, no, no! I can carry it by myself!" Fu Dingchuan quickly waved his hand, but Jiang Ruiheng didn't let him talk at all, and left with his things.Li Jiayu over there will also grab another bag with satisfaction.Fu Dingchuan had just recovered from a serious illness, and he couldn't grab the two of them no matter what, so he had no choice but to say thank you, and then hurried forward to lead the way.

"It's not far ahead, and it will take another 10 minutes to get there." Fu Dingchuan pointed to the front and said.Jiang Ruiheng nodded, and continued walking with his things - Fu Dingchuan's two large bags of vegetables are not light for a healthy man to carry, let alone a patient who just happened to have diarrhea?Jiang Ruiheng frowned slightly, and asked the question in his heart: "Brother Fu, didn't you just say that you are a nurse? How come you also take care of the grocery shopping?"

"No." Fu Dingchuan smiled, "There is someone who buys the food for the nursing home. It's just that that person has something to do at home recently, so he asked for leave to go home. I'm idle and I'm idle, so I just help them run errands."

The three chatted and walked, and after about 15 minutes, a courtyard appeared in front of them.Fu Dingchuan said to Jiang and Li, "We've arrived, please give me your things."

Jiang Ruiheng raised his eyes, and saw "Ciren Nursing Home" written on the signboard at the entrance of the courtyard, and there was a modernly decorated building conspicuously in the courtyard.Realizing that there was still a long way to go after entering the hospital, Jiang Ruiheng said, "We've reached the gate, and it's not short of two steps."

So the three walked into the courtyard together.As soon as he entered, a man in his 20s who looked like a security guard greeted him: "Yo Uncle Fu, why are you here today? Are you feeling better?" Then he noticed Jiang Ruiheng who was carrying something behind Fu Dingchuan And Li Jiayu, hesitantly said, "This is..."

"Oh, I met two friends on the road just now, and they helped me bring the food back." Fu Dingchuan said, "A few old people ordered a small stove today."

After finishing speaking, he hurriedly turned his head to greet Jiang Ruiheng and Li Jiayu to put their things down.Jiang Ruiheng handed the things to the security guard, and then looked around the courtyard - this is a rather spacious courtyard, and on the north side of the courtyard is a six-story building.The building is wide and flat, extending nearly 40 meters from east to west, occupying the north side of the entire nursing home.To the west of the courtyard is a green space with several big trees planted, and some community fitness equipment are placed under the shade of the trees.It was noon, and a few old people were riding the walker and turning the Tai Chi wheel, looking relaxed.Beside them, a man in light green overalls was pushing an old man in a wheelchair and stood aside, watching those people exercise.Looking at this side again, a few middle-aged men and women in red vests in their [-]s and [-]s just came out of the low building. Judging from the words on their clothes, they seem to be volunteers of some non-profit organizations.

It looks like a fairly formal nursing home.

"Well, thank you for today." At this time, Fu Dingchuan's voice came from behind.Jiang Ruiheng turned his head, looked at Fu Dingchuan's slightly embarrassed appearance, thought for a while and took out a business card from his body: "Brother Fu, this is my business card with my mobile phone number on it. If you need it, you can give it to me." Call. Although I am no longer working in S City, there are still many friends here, if you need help, just ask."

A trace of confusion flashed across Fu Dingchuan's eyes, but he still accepted Jiang Ruiheng's kindness: "Okay, thank you."

Li Jiayu also said "goodbye" to Fu Dingchuan, and then walked out of the hospital with Jiang Ruiheng.After leaving the gate, he asked Jiang Ruiheng: "What happened to this man, why didn't he become a policeman?"

Hearing this sentence, Jiang Ruiheng's eyes flashed with confusion: "He had a problem in handling the case a few years ago and was sentenced to probation."

"Sentencing?!" Li Jiayu was surprised, "What happened?"

"It happened several years ago. He was the captain of the criminal investigation team in their town at the time. I heard that once they arrested a drug suspect. When he was arrested, he said that his mother was seriously ill. Now Lying on the bed and unable to get off the ground, he needs someone to take care of him. There are only him and his mother in the suspect’s home. When he was arrested, his mother was indeed left alone. Generally speaking, if this happens, if the crime is minor , the police may refuse to arrest them, or notify the village and town government to ask them to send someone to take care of the suspect’s family. But they made a mistake that time and did not notify the village government of the news in time. As a result, after a few days, the village When they sent people to go again, they found that the suspect's mother was dead. After the autopsy, it was found that the old man was suffocated by vomit pouring into the intake pipe due to lack of care..."

Seeing Li Jiayu's shocked expression, Jiang Ruiheng nodded: "That's right, the death of the old man was entirely the fault of the police and the town government. However, this suspect is a very troublesome and unforgiving person. He learned that his mother After the death, the riots began, and some tabloid reporters also helped to fuel the flames. As a result, this incident was spread on the Internet, which aroused public opinion, so the local provincial public security department sent a task force to investigate, and finally found out that the main responsibility lies with the police. Until now, all the main responsible persons have been held accountable. Brother Fu was the first commander of the arrest operation and the main responsible person. One and a half years, probation for two years."

Li Jiayu listened to Jiang Ruiheng's narration, and after being shocked, he had some questions: "It is very important that there are old and young people in the family who need to be taken care of. Generally, the police will not forget it, and the arrests are carried out by many police officers. How could it be?" Forgot to notify?"

Hearing this, Jiang Ruiheng smiled wryly: "It can only be said that all the 'unfortunately' have rushed together. They are the town police station, and there are not many criminal investigation teams. Unfortunately, there was another case that left part of it. I heard that there were only Fu Dui, an official police officer, and a trainee police officer when they went to arrest them. Then the official policeman had something to do with his family, so he asked for leave after the arrest; I forgot about it when I didn't get through the phone twice... But Dui Fu is the person in charge after all, so he must be held accountable in the end. However, according to other policemen in their town, this suspect was actually She didn't go home for ten days and eight days, and nothing happened to her mother, but this time, something happened to the old lady when he was arrested..."

Hearing this, Li Jiayu also sighed.Indeed, as Jiang Ruiheng said, the whole incident is a tragedy caused by a series of "unfortunate" coming together.But in any case, it is true that an innocent old man died because of the police's mistakes. In this sense, they really bear the inescapable responsibility.

"Speaking of which, why did you go to town X for an internship? That place seems quite far from Beijing, right?" Li Jiayu suddenly thought of another question.

Hearing this, Jiang Ruiheng smiled: "Although I hadn't come out to my family when I was in college, my relationship with my dad was no longer good. My dad always thought that I was a fool and didn't take things seriously, so the intern At that time, I specially greeted our school and sent me to the farthest and poorest province J. There is an old saying that "troublemakers come from poor mountains and evil waters", and there are more criminal cases there than in other places, so I came into contact with them during my internship. Many cases were a blessing in disguise. I remember that the hardest case I and my master at the time and the longest time in the countryside were handled in Fudui’s town. There was no guest house there at the time, so my master and I lived It’s at Team Fu’s house.”

"Then what is your impression of this man?"

"What should I say about him? He has a straight temper and handles cases based on intuition, but he still has experience. But he doesn't care about his family. When his daughter was going to take the college entrance examination, he refused to give the child some money." Jiang Ruiheng He said with a sigh, "It's just that I really didn't expect him to look like this today..."

Jiang Ruiheng couldn't help but feel a little bit sad when he thought about how the powerful policeman back then became the kind of obedient and thankful person he is today.Li Jiayu could understand his mood, and suggested: "In this case, let's go and see him when you come back the day after tomorrow. Leave him some money, I don't think the salary of the nurse will be too high."

"I guess he won't accept it." Jiang Ruiheng shook his head.

"Then buy something and take it there, so that he can't refuse to accept it."

This is also a way, Jiang Ruiheng nodded: "You can buy it for me, I have another signing in the morning the day after tomorrow, and I guess it will be two or three o'clock in the afternoon when I come back."

"Row."

After making arrangements, Jiang Ruiheng left City S that afternoon.Originally, he thought that Fu Dingchuan would not call him, but to his surprise, the next evening, he actually received a call from Fu Dingchuan.Fu Dingchuan on the other end of the phone first said that he had seen the report of Jiang Ruiheng's signing and congratulated him on becoming a great writer, and then he said with a little hesitation: "Xiao Jiang, did you say that you have a good relationship with the city bureau here? colleague?"

"That's right." Jiang Ruiheng said, "I have worked in City S for several years, and I know people in many departments. What's wrong?"

"Is there anyone who is good at investigating cases?"

Jiang Ruiheng smiled: "Shen Yan, the captain of the criminal investigation team, is my best buddy. Brother Fu, did you encounter any case?"

"It doesn't count, it's just..."

Before Fu Dingchuan finished speaking, there was a sudden knock on Jiang Ruiheng's door. It turned out that the reporter who was interviewing him had arrived.Jiang Ruiheng first let the reporter in, and then said to Fu Dingchuan: "Brother Fu, I have something to do here, can I call you later?"

"Oh, hurry up and do your work!" Fu Dingchuan said quickly, "You don't need to call for a while, aren't you coming back tomorrow? Then we will meet and talk about it in detail."

"Alright, I'll be back in City S at noon tomorrow. I'll visit you in the afternoon, and we'll chat while eating."

"well."

Jiang Rui was always on the plane at noon the next day, but because the plane was late, it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon when it landed in S City.When he returned to the city, he called Fu Dingchuan.

The phone rang for a long time before it was connected, and Fu Dingchuan's voice came from over there: "Hello?..."

"Brother Fu, I'm Jiang Ruiheng, and I'm back in City S. What time is convenient for you? Let's find a place to have dinner together."

"Xiao Jiang, I'm not feeling well right now..." Fu Dingchuan's voice on the other end of the phone was extremely weak.Jiang Ruiheng frowned when he heard this: "What's wrong with you? What's wrong with you?"

"It's just that I feel weak all over my body, sweating, and flustered..."

Listening to Fu Dingchuan's description, Jiang Ruiheng frowned and asked, "Brother Fu, are you hypoglycemic? When was the last time you ate?"

"No, it's not the feeling of hypoglycemia, it's just..."

Jiang Ruiheng seemed to be getting weaker and weaker listening to Fu Dingchuan's voice, and felt more and more wrong in his heart. He switched to the public release so that Li Jiayu could also hear him, and then asked, "Brother Fu, where are you now? I'll go there right now." Pick you up, and call 120 as soon as possible, so that the ambulance will pass by now."

"I live in Huamei Road, West District..."

Fu Dingchuan didn't finish his sentence, when suddenly there was a loud "gudong" sound, as if he fell to the ground.Jiang Ruiheng's heart trembled violently——

"Brother Fu? Brother Fu?!"
