The school will start soon. Every year before the start of the summer vacation, Ren Yi will conduct spot checks on the firefighting of the schools in the area under his jurisdiction. The squadron has been very busy recently, so he has no time to pay attention to the progress of the bar fire case.
It wasn't until Qu Yangbo urged him to hand in the reports that he realized that he owed several reports and hadn't written them. Like a student cramming for homework before the start of school, he locked himself in the office and wrote the reports in pain.
After finishing all the reports with great difficulty, he had to check them routinely.
In addition to the text description, the report is usually accompanied by drawings. The larger and more complicated the accident, the more materials need to be provided, such as the accident building plan and surrounding maps, the fire truck parking position map, the water gun position layout map, and the teams entering the scene The route map, etc., as well as the intercom recordings of everyone involved in the rescue, a large number of on-site photos, videos, etc. Of course, he did not sort out these records, but the dedicated squad was responsible for collecting and summarizing them, and the commander was responsible for reviewing and summarizing them.
When Ren Yi was checking page by page, a photo flashed in front of the screen, he frowned, feeling a little strange in his heart, he had already turned several pages, and he couldn't help but turn back again.
That photo was the scene of the accident from the fourth perspective. Since it was a major accident, there were a lot of photos and video materials. He selected some of them to include in the report, and archived the complete ones separately. This photo was taken of Wang Meng's fire truck arriving at the scene At that time, I was leading a team to search for survivors on the first floor.
What attracted him was the crowd in the background. There was a face that seemed familiar to him, but at that time the light was extremely poor and the crowd in the background was small, making it a bit blurry.
Ren Yi tried to enlarge the photo, but it became more and more blurred. He opened the folder where the video materials of the accident were kept, looked through them one by one, and searched in the video materials at the same time. Finally, he was sure that he had really seen this person, and he had met him in the hospital at that time— Cai Wan's father.
It is not uncommon for the victim's father to be present at the scene of the accident, but there are two things that are quite suspicious.
First, according to the timeline, Cai Wan had already escaped from the bar at that time, and those who were still inside at that time were either dead or seriously injured, but Cai Wan’s father did not see Cai Wan, who would send him to the hospital regardless of his injuries Daughter, stand here and watch the excitement? Second, Cai Wan's father's line of sight is often inconsistent with that of the crowd, and his expression is also indescribable. Through the unclear photos, one can vaguely distinguish the anxiety, nervousness, and fear on his face. It's like watching the excitement.
Of course, these photos can also have other explanations. For example, Cai Wan's father didn't know that his daughter was in the bar at the time, but was just passing by. But his intuition told him otherwise, and he was full of doubts.
Ren Yi immediately called Gong Yingxian. After the call was connected, he couldn't wait to say: "Dr. Gong, I found something in the photos of the scene. Do you still remember what we saw in the hospital..."
"Cai Wan's father." Gong Yingxian said in a deep voice.
"You already know?"
"The investigation was stuck in a bottleneck some time ago. I sorted out all the evidence and testimony again and found that... you are going downstairs now."
"Huh?" Ren Yizheng listened carefully, but this nonsensical sentence confused him.
"I have a call to answer. I happened to be driving past your squadron. If you want to know, just go with me." After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone.
Ren Yi stood up without hesitation, ran downstairs, and at the same time sent a message to Qu Yangbo asking for a leave.
When he came to the gate of the squadron, he was watching the black Wrangler approaching quickly, and stopped in front of him neatly.
Ren Yi opened the car door and saw a thick stack of documents on the co-pilot, he picked up the documents before sitting down.
As expected, Gong Yingxian was on the phone, and kept saying "OK, um."
After hanging up the phone, Ren Yi couldn't wait to ask, "Is Cai Wan's father a suspect?"
"His name is Cai Zhiwei. He has been separated from Cai Wan's mother for a long time and lives by doing odd jobs. Cai Wan came to him and worked in the Yehe Club."
"You also saw the photo and found something wrong with him?"
"That's right. When I sorted out the evidence and testimony, I found that when Cai Wan described the other three people in the box, she used 'that man' twice to refer to a person named Tao Zhen. Refers to others, either because they don’t know or are very unfamiliar, or subconsciously to separate themselves from the other party’s relationship.”
"Who is this?"
"Cai Wan said that she only knew the man's name was 'Brother Zhen', and we found out his full name. According to our investigation of her communication records, the two have been dating for a month since they met at the Yehe Concert. Even if we don’t know their real names, we are very familiar with them. Of the other three people in the box at that time, we couldn’t confirm the identities of two of them. Because of the large amount of autopsy and the serious damage to the body, the forensic doctor was too busy for a while. A woman was Cai Wan's roommate, we quickly confirmed that a man was her roommate's boyfriend according to Cai Wan, and she only knew his nickname. Tao Zhen was introduced by this boyfriend, but we couldn't know their identities at the time. It is confirmed that according to the autopsy and autopsy, Tao Zhen's age is over forty years old, and there is a large age gap with the other three people."
While listening, Ren Yi flipped through the stack of documents.
Gong Yingxian continued: "Later, through investigation, we confirmed the identity of her roommate's boyfriend. He was a person who had a history of burglary. We continued to investigate and found that Tao Zhen and him had served sentences in the same prison. , He was released from Hexie Prison two years earlier, and Tao Zhen has a history of taking Hexie drugs."
"Did he bring the drugs and drugs?"
"should be."
"Then who set the fire? What does it have to do with Cai Zhiwei?"
"At first we didn't suspect Cai Zhiwei, but suspected Cai Wan set the fire again. In order to find evidence, we watched the surveillance video and scene images repeatedly, and only then did we discover Cai Zhiwei."
"and then?"
"Cai Wan changed her mind when she saw that Tao Zhen was found out, saying that Tao Zhen was her boyfriend, and she didn't want Tao Zhen to be charged with killing so many people, so she made up a stranger, and it was actually Tao Zhen who fell in love with him. Then he got too excited and broke the alcohol lamp and started a fire."
"Sounds more reasonable."
"If we haven't found Cai Zhiwei, this sounds reasonable." Gong Yingxian frowned slightly, "Cai Zhiwei has been in and out of bars, it really doesn't explain anything, but I always feel that this person is suspicious. When I wanted to summon him, he disappeared. gone."
"So you found someone now?"
"I was detained at the South Bus Station Police and Harmony Station. The police from the Harmony Police Station asked me to check if it was him."
Ren Yi suddenly became interested: "Does this count as a harmonious police arresting a prisoner? This is the first time I have a harmonious police officer with the police."
Gong Yingxian gave him a slanted look: "Why are you so excited, he has already been caught."
"But how many detours did we take before arresting him? Besides, this is a case I participated in anyway. You said that if the case is solved, can I make a contribution or something?"
"Reward 1,000 yuan for providing clues." Gong Yingxian said, "I can report your name."
"It's only 1000, it's too contemptuous." Ren Yi rolled his eyes at Gong Yingxian, and found a playful expression on his face. He immediately came to his senses and shouted, "Damn, are you kidding me!"
Gong Yingxian shrugged slightly: "What I said is true."
Ren Yi snorted coldly: "Although my salary is not as good as the young master you can buy a tie, I'm not going to use 1,000 yuan for a fake public benefit."
"Even if it's me, not you, what are you afraid of?"
"I can't afford to lose that person. Actually, it's mainly because I think it's too little. If you give me 10 million, I don't care about being ashamed."
"I can give it to you." Gong Yingxian turned his head to look at Ren Yi with a provocative look in his eyes, "What do you use in exchange for such a reward?"
Ren Yi glanced at him, and said seriously: "10 million, such a large amount of money, tsk tsk, it seems that I can only pay my most precious flesh and body."
Gong Yingxian glared at him: "Unless your physical body is a sample for biochemical weapons research."
"Hey, I don't know the goods."
After a few conversations, the car has already arrived at the South Railway Station.
This South Bus Station has been around for some years. With the popularity of bullet trains and high-speed rail, fewer and fewer people travel by long-distance bus, so the security check is relatively loose.
The Pai Hexie Station at the South Railway Station is also relatively small. As soon as the two of them entered the door, they saw Cai Zhiwei handcuffed to a chair, with his head down, motionless.
The two walked in front of Cai Zhiwei, and Gong Yingxian called his name.
Cai Zhiwei raised his head slowly and saw the two with despair and fear in his eyes, but at the same time, there seemed to be a kind of relief.
The police from Hexie Station came over with a black travel bag, put it on the chair, and it sounded heavy with a bang: "His luggage." Unzipped, there was half a bag of cash inside.
Gong Yingxian looked at Cai Zhiwei: "Do you know why you were arrested?"
Cai Zhiwei did not speak.
"Be honest." Gong Yingxian said, "Your daughter said everything."
Cai Zhiwei's face turned pale, tears welled up in his eyes, and he cried, "I didn't expect so many people to die, how could so many people die..."
Ren Yi let out a long breath, listening to Cai Zhiwei's vague statement, he was in a panic.
According to Cai Zhiwei, after Tao Zhen was released from Hexie Prison, he began to sell Hexie drugs. He was introduced to Cai Wan by a prison friend. Tao Zhen asked Cai Wan to leave Tianqi with him and showed her a large amount of cash. Cai Wan went back to discuss with Cai Zhiwei. He owed Gao Heli Harmony Loan, and wanted to kill Tao Zhen. Anyway, Tao Zhen’s money came from a wrong path, and no one would track it down. He felt that the bar was crowded and chaotic, and it was a good opportunity to strike. He knew the process of their taking Harmony drugs. He believed that setting fire in the private room would suffocate Tao Zhen, who was incapacitated after smoking harmony drugs, and could also kill Cai Wan's roommate and her boyfriend together, faking it as an accident, and there was no proof of death. So after the fire, he took Cai Wan away, but he didn't expect that the fire would spread so fast that it would burn down the whole bar.
After the two of them listened, their faces were very gloomy.
Gong Yingxian asked the civilian and police who arrested Cai Zhiwei: "How much money is in the bag?"
"More than three hundred thousand."
Gong Yingxian was silent for a while, and asked the people and the police to escort Cai Zhiwei to the Hongwu branch, and then drove Ren Yi back to the branch.
For a long time, there was silence in the carriage, neither of them spoke.
After a long time, Ren Yi said in a deep voice, "For this money, 29 people were killed?"
"He said he didn't expect the fire to burn so big and so fast, would you believe it?"
Ren Yi said: "Cai Zhiwei only has an elementary school education. It's normal that he doesn't understand fire and can't calculate fire loads, and it's not good for him to make things too big."
Gong Yingxian nodded: "I thought so too, it's just..."
"Just what?"
"The money is too little, more than 300,000 yuan. According to the current market price of ice and poison, it is less than one kilogram. Tao Zhen has started to lead people to inhale the new mixed drug and medicine of 'Fairy Water'. It cannot be just the beginning. A newcomer to traffickers and drugs."
"Maybe Cai Zhiwei didn't find more? Or he hid the money?"
"It's possible." Gong Yingxian frowned, "In any case, I think he still has something to hide."
"He has admitted to arson and murder, and the evidence does point to him."
"That's right..." Gong Yingxian thought about something, "But I need more testimony."
"I want to go together."
"Aren't you going back to the squadron?"
"It's all up to this point. If this case is not closed, I will definitely not be able to sleep." Ren Yi wiped his face, "Let's go, the case is closed, and I can deal with the chief of staff."
Gong Yingxian didn't say anything, the black car went straight to the destination through the night.
When they arrived at the branch office, to Ren Yi's surprise, Gong Yingxian did not interrogate Cai Zhiwei, but brought Cai Wan over.
Compared with the paleness and frailty when she was in the hospital, Cai Wan's face has turned red after recovering these days, but she just stayed in the detention center all the time, feeling very depressed and depressed.
Gong Yingxian said straight to the point: "We have caught your father."
Cai Wan's body trembled, and her eye circles immediately turned red. She panicked and said, "Why are you arresting my father? Tao Zhen set the fire!"
"He has confessed, do you still want to pretend?"
Cai Wan's tears rolled down her cheeks, and she covered her face and began to cry.
Gong Yingxian knocked on the table: "What else do you want to say?"
Cai Wan shook her head, just crying, not speaking.
Gong Yingxian's expression was cold: "Cai Wan, you have lied from beginning to end, wasting a lot of police force and coordination. The crime of obstructing justice is three to seven years in prison. You can think clearly."
Cai Wan cried: "He is my father, what can I do, he is my father."
Gong Yingxian stared at Cai Wan with sharp eyes, and said coldly, "Where's the rest of the money?"
Cai Wan was caught off guard and froze all over.
