"We were very efficient today. We interrogated Zhou Chuan, Chen Pei, and Chen Pei's two younger brothers. We also arrested Chen Pei's girlfriend and seized a sum of money." Cai Qiang crossed his legs, "Peng Fei Here we go, victory is in sight."
Gong Yingxian said: "Since Zhou Chuan was caught by us in the fourth perspective, he has become vigilant. Some important communications no longer use his own computer, but go to Internet cafes, libraries and other places. He said We were misled by the 'exchanging arson' post, which at least has nothing to do with the case of Wanyuan Community, because that kind of post seems to be posted by a newcomer, or it is purely for bragging, and those who really want to commit crimes will definitely not be there. Seraph leaves no trace of open communication."
"Then how do they communicate?" Ren Yi hesitated, "Could it be that we guessed wrong at the beginning, Wanyuan Community and the car burning case didn't exchange arson?"
"Is it an exchange of arson? I'm afraid we have to dig out the truth from Peng Fei's mouth. According to Zhou Chuan—Xiao Tan recently made a similar discovery—Seraphim has an internal loyalty score for its users. The speed, consumption, radicalness of speech, etc., absorb users into a more secretive and higher-level place, which is the dark web of the dark web, and only people in the organization know about it, and Zhou Chuan has never entered it."
"What evidence does Zhou Chuan have to testify against Chen Pei?"
"Zhou Chuan said that Chen Pei, like him, has no arsonism and was 'hired'." Cai Qiang took over the conversation, "by someone called 'Hongyan'."
"'Hongyan'?" Qiu Yan murmured, "I missed too much this morning, is 'Hongyan' a member of the organization?".
Cai Qiang nodded: "Zhou Chuan said that half of his news about the fire came from the media, and the other half came from this person named 'Hong Yan'. Hong Yan once paid him to set the fire, but he He didn't dare, so he was just filming and live broadcasting. He had heard of Chen Pei from Hong Yan, but he didn't know the name and had never met him. As soon as Chen Pei was arrested, he was right. Chen Pei must have recorded the video when he set the fire, because not only can he get a commission, but the video can also be sold for a good price, Chen Pei's video is the best evidence."
"Where is the video? How did he contact Hongyan?"
"The news about Hong Yan, he wants to use it in exchange for a reduced sentence, and now he refuses to say it. And the video must still be hidden somewhere by Chen Pei, because the police are investigating the case now, and Chen Pei will definitely wait for the wind to pass before selling it."
"Then we still have to find the video?" Ren Yi said, "Isn't this looking for a needle in a haystack?"
Gong Yingxian sneered: "One of Chen Pei's younger brothers has already confessed."
Ren Yi clapped his hands, "That's great!"
"In the video, it can be seen that Chen Pei did not expect the fire to get out of control. He tried to stop the fire from spreading to the west. Then his phone rang and he asked what to do if the fire was too big. The person on the other end of the phone instructed him to close the west side. Keep the windows and stairwell doors on the east side open, among them, he mentioned '2212' twice, which is Peng Fei's home."
"Can call records be traced?"
"No, disposable mobile phone."
"Such evidence, Chen Pei can't deny it."
"We have recruited this person seven or eight times, and he has been acting like a rogue. This time the evidence is convincing, and finally recruited. He said that he received a sum of cash and asked him to ignite the garbage piled in front of 2209 at the designated time and place. He thought it was broad daylight and the fire would be extinguished quickly, but he didn't expect the fire to get out of control, and then the client called him suddenly, asked him about the situation, taught him to control the fire, and told him not to reach 2212."
"So, Hongyan is nearby." Ren Yi pondered, "Arsonists like to watch their masterpieces around the crime site. But... they all like to do it themselves, because what gives them the greatest pleasure is the process of arson. How could he Would you hand over the process of 'enjoyment' to others? Part of this 'red flame' fits the characteristics of pyromania, and part of it doesn't."
"This also puzzles me, I have a guess." Gong Yingxian said.
"What guess?"
"Do you know what a red flame is?"
Ren Yi was stunned: "... red flame." He couldn't think of anything special about this name for a moment.
Qiu Yan's eyes brightened: "Could it mean the temperature and color of the flame?"
Ren Yi suddenly realized: "It turns out that the red flame has the lowest relative temperature among the flames!"
"That's right, if the organization Zhou Chuan mentioned really exists, there must be differences in levels among members, which is unavoidable in any organizational structure. Let's assume that 'Hongyan' is the bottom member. Then his behavior may be ordered by higher-level people, so his behavior cannot be used to judge whether it is arsonism."
Qiu Yan narrowed his eyes: "When Chen Pei set the fire, Hong Yan had been observing nearby. He probably found that the fire was out of control, so he called Chen Pei and reminded Chen Pei not to burn to 2212. What are Peng Fei and Hong Yan? Relationship? Judging from the current clues, the two are unlikely to be the same person."
"I also don't think they are alone. Both Zhou Chuan and Chen Pei said that Hong Yan has been contacting them one-way. They have no way to contact each other, so they can't track them down. Chen Pei used to help people do some dirty work, Hong Yan I don’t know how I got his number, and it’s a pleasure to give the money, but he has never seen Hong Yan, so he can only be sure that he is a young and middle-aged man.”
"Then about you..." Ren Yi looked at Gong Yingxian, "Chen Pei also learned about it from Hong Yan?"
Gong Yingxian shook his head: "This question, Chen Pei said that he would only talk about it when he saw me. Captain Qiu asked me not to see him for the time being, so as not to affect the case of Wanyuan Community."
Qiu Yandao: "Chen Pei is a desperado, not someone like Zhou Chuan who can be easily frightened. He knows that he will not avoid the death penalty, but he still holds on to this secret. There must be other purposes. I don't think he can disturb him now. audiovisual."
"Anyway, with these evidences, I'd like to see how that Peng Fei can argue." Cai Qiang snorted heavily.
"The whole matter is becoming clearer and clearer, but I don't know how Peng Fei got involved with Seraphim or that mysterious organization."
Gong Yingxian said coldly: "Wait for him to tell us in person."
Although Ren Yi really wanted to see Peng Fei's reaction to these evidences with his own eyes, but a leader was coming to inspect this afternoon, he saw that the time was almost up, so he had to hurry back.
Gong Yingxian sent him outside the meeting room: "Go back and do your work. I'll call you tonight and let you know the result."
"Okay." Ren Yi looked at Gong Yingxian's slightly black eye circles, "You should pay attention to rest, the case is important, and the body is also important."
"It's okay, the closer I get to the truth, the better my spirit will be." Gong Yingxian said in a deep voice, "What is in front of us may not be just one or two arsonists, nor just a website, but a criminal organization , When I think about it, I feel like sleeping is a waste of time."
Ren Yi pressed Gong Yingxian's shoulder: "You can't think like this, first, you are not alone, you still have me, me and... Captain Qiu, second, the more important the matter, the less it can be resolved overnight Yes, don't push yourself, we are getting more clues every day, victory is definitely for justice, it belongs to us, don't rush it."
Gong Yingxian looked at Ren Yi: "As expected of being the squadron leader, you can motivate people."
"I know too many things." Ren Yi said with a smile, "You have plenty of time to dig out slowly."
Gong Yingxian smiled faintly, then hesitated: "When will you be free?"
"What's wrong?"
"When Chen Pei is re-examined." Gong Yingxian pursed his lips, "I hope you are here." He was not afraid of Chen Pei, no matter how afraid he was of fire, he would face it, let alone alone. It's just that he found that when Ren Yi was by his side, he would become more courageous in the face of everything. He could approach his lifelong nightmare for Ren Yi. With Ren Yi around, he felt that he could do more.
Ren Yi was overjoyed: "Of course, it is necessary, I will be there." An unspeakable touch rose in his heart, the feeling of being valued and trusted by Gong Yingxian made him extra solid and fulfilled.
Gong Yingxian's heart also warmed up: "Then, see you later."
"bye."
After the two said goodbye to each other, they didn't move a single step. They were still looking at each other without blinking, as if they were waiting for the other to turn around, but neither of them wanted to leave first.
When they realized it, they were all inexplicably cramped.
Ren Yi pointed to the door of the conference room: "You, you go in and do your work."
"... Hmm." Gong Yingxian nodded and retreated to the conference room.
Ren Yi turned and leaned against the wall, holding his heart with his hands, with a bitter smile on his face. He used to think that liking was hormonal impulse, intense desire, and infinite burst of enthusiasm. That's right, all of these were true, but it wasn't until he met Gong Yingxian that he realized that before all of these, he would still love each other. Hold the altar and dare not intrude, even the casual gaze is exciting, even the bump of the elbow is distracting, and even the ups and downs at the end of a sentence are worth pondering over and over again.
This careful love is as fragile as glass.
