Same crime

Li Wen not only has a strong logical reasoning ability, but also has a good memory.

He came to the Lixia branch for only one afternoon, and he even went to the court once in the middle, so he clearly remembered the office setup on this floor of the criminal police team.

He remembered that there was a meeting room at the end of the corridor, and there was no sign on it, but he wanted to go to the bathroom before, and Li Hongbing casually said that the bathroom was next to that room, and he got the impression.

He walked straight over with Qin Zhengzheng, without hesitation, unscrewed the door, found the switch on the wall, and turned on all the lights in the room with a "snap".

For a moment, a dazzling white light filled the whole room. Because Qin Zhengzheng had been in the dark for a long time, the light made his pupils shrink rapidly. For a moment, he seemed to be unable to see anything in front of him. It took a while for him to recover.

Qin Zhengzheng is very familiar with this small conference room. In the past, their team often needed to hold case discussion meetings here. At that time, there was only smoke in the room. There seems to be such a pungent smell lingering at the tip of the nose.

At the same time, he noticed that there was still a serious national emblem hanging on the wall, and there were many posters for the promotion of educational activities on the side. He hadn't seen any new decorations in the past few months, just like before.He had the illusion that he was still working in the Lixia branch, and the transfer of these few months seemed to have never happened to him.

Li Wensi pulled out a chair and sat down first, crossed her legs, lit a cigarette for herself, and then picked up an ashtray not far away and put it in front of her, then knocked on the table, signaling Qin Zhengzheng to sit down .

He asked Qin Zhengzheng: "Did Gong Yuechao do those serial wounding cases in Suijiang?" After finishing speaking, he took a deep breath of the cigarette, passed through his lungs, and exhaled a puff of smoke, through the thin white smoke , at that moment, he saw that the young face of Qin Zhengzheng who was sitting opposite him became incomparably wonderful—first he showed a terrified expression, and then he was calm and fearless. Li Wen had an answer in his heart, because Just look at Qin Zhengzheng's performance.

In fact, Qin Zhengzheng just shook his head a little bit, but he didn't know that his emotions were written on his face, and then he remembered Gong Yuechao's comforting words, the difficult process of being together between them, and the vow between them... Then, he Shaking his head firmly, he replied, "I don't know."

Li Wen looked at him with piercing eyes, as if he wanted to put some pressure on him from the crossed eyes, but he found that even the initial unnaturalness of Qin Zhengzheng had disappeared at this moment.He frowned slightly, and even wondered if the moment of astonishment he saw on Qin Zhengzheng's face was his illusion. He used the action of dusting off the cigarette as a cover, and coughed lightly.

One of the reasons why he became interested in those cases was that they were related to Gong Yuechao.

That man was attracted by that calm face when we first met at the airport.

His straight waist exudes a rather haughty temperament, the arrogance and fearlessness when communicating with him, and the powerful aura surrounding him directly overturned the impression left when he first saw the photos, and even more with him The imagined ex-convicts are very different.He couldn't tell what kind of feeling it was. It was the curiosity generated by this feeling that made him want to explore and understand.Especially during the intensive investigation in the past few days, he has learned more about this person's rich life experience, so he is more eager to get an answer.

Another reason is that the belief in his bones is at work. Since the day he became a policeman, like many great colleagues, he does not believe that there will be perfect and flawless crimes in the world. As long as there are cases, there will be loopholes. However, some cases have become backlogs just because of the lack of evidence and clues. Slowly, they will become unsolved death cases with the passage of time and insufficient evidence to support them.

He still remembered that he had just taken over the captain of the criminal police, and he was passionate. After the heavy daily work, he spent two months without sleep and rest to solve more than half of the accumulated cases of the Zhangzhou City Bureau, and at the same time let the leaders Witnessed his strength and ability.

The superposition of the two factors immediately made him more immersed in it.

So just after he listened to Wu Yi's confession, he finally understood the root of all this... The fog that lingered in his heart seemed to dissipate all of a sudden.Li Wen knew that the young man in front of him had an "ambiguous" relationship with Gong Yuechao. The acquaintance and interaction that lasted for more than ten years could not be conveyed in a few words, so he came to him to ask for confirmation.

Li Wen took another two puffs of cigarettes, and made eye contact with him during this process, but he couldn't get any more answers. He rarely said with a serious face: "Qin Zhengzheng, I can tell you that you are easy to make mistakes like this. , do you know what your behavior is? You are covering up a crime! Think about it, you are a policeman!" He threatened and threatened the other party.

Qin Zhengzheng smiled slightly, and said, "Captain Li, just because I am a policeman, I should use evidence to speak out, instead of just relying on my own conjecture to wrong an innocent and good person."

"Innocent?" After Li Wen grasped the word, he burst out laughing. He changed into a mocking tone and said, "You mean, a prisoner who has been sentenced to five years for intentional injury by the court is a A good man who is 'clean and innocent'? This man shows no mercy when he stabs people, Qin Zhengzheng, I think you have been confused by something?" After finishing speaking, there was a playful look on the corner of his mouth.

Qin Zhengzheng said: "I am not confused by anything, I just believe that I see a person's eyes. I have known him for many years and have a deep understanding of him, so I have this kind of trust. I think that some people are glamorous on the surface. , in fact, do all kinds of evil, just because of our negligence or indifference, let him harm the society, let him become the cancer and scum of the society; and some people, he is kind, gentle, and full of love, just because some things happen, what we call But justice can't make decisions for him, and has to be forced to use violence to control violence." After finishing speaking, he sighed, his eyes showing great sadness, "There is no absolute fairness and justice in this world. Considering a person's quality You should not just look at his experience, but you should understand his heart more deeply." After Qin Zhengzheng finished speaking, he got up and left the conference room without looking back, leaving him to lead a A back that is neither humble nor overbearing.

He feels that he has always been a very persistent and principled person, and he treats many things like this. He has insisted on liking Gong Yuechao for so many years and insisting on loving his career.He likes Gong Yuechao not only because he has a heart that loves him, but also because of his trust, respect, admiration and gratitude from the heart.Although he was very principled in his approach to work, when he identified Gong Yuechao, he couldn't help being affected.

When Qin Zhengzheng said such words to Li Wen, even he was surprised.When he was standing in the dark corridor, after he exhaled the suffocating breath in his chest, he clearly heard a sigh from the conference room behind him.

Even so, he didn't look back.

Maybe in the future work, he might encounter pressure from Li Wenshi, or be punished because of Gong Yuechao's affairs, but he admitted it because he felt that he was not wrong.

When the sky was just turning white, the snow that had been falling for a long time and overnight finally stopped. The snow was heavy, and the snow in some places was as high as half a meter.

The snow removal vehicle started to work intensely, rumbling on the street, hard-working sanitation workers were also busy on the street at this time, cleaning the dead corners left by the vehicle, and making sure to clear the snow on the road before the morning rush hour to avoid affect traffic.

On this snowy night, everyone in the Lixia branch was busy all night. After the interrogation of Wu Yi was over, they quickly started working again to investigate Zhang Mingfeng, and finally dug up many of his illegal activities. The clues, the dirt hidden in the dark corners are revealed little by little, gradually surfacing.

At dawn, they rubbed their tired eyes, went to the cafeteria to have a simple breakfast, and then started the next step of work - that is to contact Zhang Mingfeng's current unit.

But what is disappointing is that the news from there is not optimistic.

Three days ago, Zhang Mingfeng went to Beijing for a meeting, and the meeting is still in progress, so he is not currently there.So they contacted the meeting party in Beijing, but the other party said that Zhang Mingfeng did come to report two days ago, but since yesterday afternoon he claimed to have something to leave.This kind of meeting would not be too strict in the first place. It is normal to leave for something, and the organizer will not restrict personal freedom, so often on the last day, there will not be a few people left in the entire venue.

Knowing this situation, they quickly contacted the Beijing police. Not long after, the patrol police on the expressway sent back a message. Yesterday at four o'clock in the afternoon, when they checked the ID card on a bus bound for Zhangzhou, they checked I have been to Zhang Mingfeng, and sent the data to them for verification.The result of the final check showed that this Zhang Mingfeng was the one they were looking for.

Almost everyone present breathed a sigh of relief. If Zhang Mingfeng returned to Zhangzhou, wouldn't it be easy to catch him.

But when Qin Zhengzheng heard the news, a bad premonition came to his mind—if Zhang Mingfeng knew about the fact that Wu Yi was arrested by the police after he murdered and dumped his body, then he should immediately realize that he would be implicated. Then why didn't he run away, but wanted to return to Zhangzhou from Beijing, and he had no ties to Zhangzhou, so his purpose of returning to Zhangzhou was obvious...

For Gong Yuechao.

Thinking of this, Qin Zhengzheng said in a bad voice, and immediately grabbed the coat on the back of the chair and was about to rush out. Seeing this, Li Hongbing grabbed Qin Zhengzheng's arm and asked, "Zhengzheng, where are you going?"

"Mr. Gong, Gong Yuechao, he might be in danger. Why did Zhang Mingfeng go back to Zhangzhou? What is he going to do when he goes back to Zhangzhou?" He growled in a low voice, his voice full of despair.

After hearing this, everyone present also realized something, and they were almost stunned for a moment, including Li Wen who had scolded Qin Zhengzheng last night.

Li Hongbing reacted quickly, and hurriedly said: "Zhengzheng, calm down, what's the use of going back now? Can you rush there right away? It's snowing so much outside, the highway is still closed, and the train may be delayed. In this way , you are responsible for contacting Gong Yuechao first to confirm his safety, and I will send someone to take you back when the highway opens.” Then he turned around and said to Li Wen: “Captain Li, you need to contact your colleagues in Zhangzhou and send someone to Protect Gong Yuechao, and at the same time, investigate Zhang Mingfeng's whereabouts, and catch him first is the key." At this time, the elderly Li Hongbing appeared much calmer and had a stronger view of the overall situation.

No matter what Li Wen thought about Gong Yuechao, it was still his responsibility to protect the safety of the client.Especially when he realizes that he seems to be caught in a strange circle, forgetting that his main purpose of coming to Suijiang is to investigate the murder case of the little fat man, not to help the Suijiang police solve those few cases that now seem to be ineffective. An unimportant serial wounding case.

Thinking of this, he quickly got up, took out his phone, and arranged work for the team. When he looked at Qin Zhengzheng again, he found that Qin Zhengzheng's hand holding the phone was trembling slightly, and his lips became bloodless. He kept talking about quick answer, quick answer, and after a long wait for the voice to end, he automatically hung up. He quickly dialed again, but no one answered the phone.

Then, he seemed to think of something again, flipped through the phone book nervously, finally found the number, and dialed it quickly.This time the call went through, but the other party said that Gong Yuechao didn't come to work.

At this point, Qin Zhengzheng had completely collapsed. He felt as if all his blood had been drained. If it wasn't for the wall supporting him, he might collapse on the ground.This feeling was even worse than when he heard Gong Yuechao being stabbed in prison.Because he knew that Gong Yuechao's life was not in danger that time.And this time, maybe this time...

Qin Zhengzheng has no time to care about whether his behavior is too exaggerated, or what he looks like in the eyes of outsiders, he just wants to follow the sky and pray for Gong Yuechao's safety.

His whole life has been too hard, and he finally had a good life, so why should he suffer this crime.

And...and their relationship has just begun to shine.

The photo of him and Gong Yuechao hadn't had time to be placed on the TV cabinet at home...

Thinking of this, "I want to go back to Zhangzhou." Qin Zhengzheng said, and then continued to rush out regardless of everyone's obstruction.

At this time, it was Li Wen who blocked his way from the front like a wall, and said to him: "Qin Zhengzheng, calm down, I have already sent someone to look for him, I believe there will be news soon. "

Qin Zhengzheng didn't want to cry, no matter how he teased him, he didn't move, so he could only mutter like Xianglin's wife: "Captain Li, I beg you, let me go, how can I calm down? How can I calm down! Zhang Mingfeng is a devil!" He himself doesn't even have the confidence, he can only feel at ease if he goes, yes, finds it himself.

The devil walking in the world, after he tasted the sweetness of killing everything once, he might not be able to stop destroying a person's footsteps.Zhang Mingfeng's hands were not only covered with the blood of so many people, but also the crimes he committed on Gong Yuechao from the past 20 years ago to now.

Back then, if someone was willing to help Gong Yuechao and punish those people for their evil deeds, maybe Gong Yuechao would not have to face the hardships he is facing now.
