A week later, Yuan Liang showed up at the Daqiao Police Station in Jinhe District, Zhengzhou City with a team member.
For more than a month, the case went through many twists and turns, followed Ai Xiaonan's clues to Xi'an, and then recovered here from Xi'an. An ID card named "Wang Lei" belonged to this place. After a thorough investigation, it matched Wu Xiaolei's appearance and characteristics. After further investigation, the police station was accidentally involved. The former director and the household registration police were isolated and examined for accepting bribes and illegally handling household registration transfer procedures.
"Captain Yuan, this is the Daqiao Police Station... It was a small commodity market back then, and there were hundreds of thousands of merchants from all over the country."
Wang Tao, the captain of the criminal investigation team, pointed to the stretches of buildings. Not only were the tall buildings built, but also the subway had begun to break ground. The air was filled with the smell of dust, which made people suffocate.
The Wang detachment's attitude was not very good, and Yuan Liang felt it. Qinyuan's assisted investigation arrested the two colleagues. If it was really found out that it was Wu Xiaolei, then these two might not have to retire, but would have to be fired directly.
The team members took a few photos of the scene, accompanied them into the police station, and made a photocopy of the original records. When they boarded the car again, Wang Detachment invited them to lead the way. Today is the day to leave. Bringing the two of them to a small restaurant, with a few bowls of braised noodles and two or three hot dishes, Wang Zhi opened a bottle of wine and poured a glass. Yuan Liang looked at the heavy sadness on his face and asked cautiously. He wrote: "Wang Zhi, what will happen to them?"
"Who is it?"
"It's from the Fifth Division Bureau, and the newly promoted instructor."
"You are also a policeman, what do you think will happen?"
Wang Zhi raised his eyelids to look at him, smiled, filled his glass, and persuaded him to drink: "Come on, let's go, don't think about them, it's not your fault, our job itself is a minefield, and we can die well." It's all a fluke."
When the glasses of wine collided, Yuan Liang poured his head up, put down the glass, and said apologetically, "Maybe there is room for redemption. This Wang Lei may not be Wu Xiaolei."
"It's reassuring me again. From the fake migration certificate issued in Xi'an, it is impossible to apply for a household registration here... It is not impossible to file a negative case, and it is impossible to handle violations, and it is impossible to not collect black money. Our work in this area was relatively lagging behind. The ID card just came out, and the Zhengzhou stalls can be sealed with glue. The second-generation ID card came out a few days ago, and their fake ID card can be scanned at the airport. Don’t say that it was a piece of paper that was recognized by the naked eye before. It’s their luck. It's too bad." Wang Zhi said, a little regretful.
This kind of regret is like the sympathy given to the suspect, it should not be there, Yuan Liang smiled awkwardly, and didn't say any more.
Although the meal was simple, it was full of flavor and full of food and drink. The police in the two places broke up. Yuan Liang in the car thought for a long time before calling back to Qinyuan County. It was to Director Gu. Just one sentence:
"It can be confirmed that it is Wu Xiaolei!"
This sentence means that Ai Xiaonan, the family member of the victim, will establish serious suspicion from now on. He knew that he had done the right thing, there was nothing wrong with it, but he was still so blocked, as if he saw two colleagues being taken away for isolation.
…
The second group is the team led by Yang Ning, a technical investigator of the county criminal police team. The flow of money and the ownership of the phone are different, and they belong to people of different identities. His main task was to run back and forth in various cities to extract bank monitoring records. Although some of them had been lost due to too long time, as the investigation deepened, he still found enough clues.
Counting Wang Lei, Liu Dajun, Yang Fengli, Hao Cheng, Wan Ruisheng, etc., there are no less than ten people, all of whom are bank card records. When comparing the extracted surveillance of the suspect, it is no surprise that the complete face was not extracted, and all the money was withdrawn in the middle of the night, wearing a big mask and even a raincoat, but it can be preliminarily determined from the body shape and height. Judge, it's the same person.
Because the ATM machine has a limited withdrawal limit, the suspect broke it into pieces and used this clumsy but concise method to quietly withdraw the cash. In the limited data stored in the bank, he captured the scene of several withdrawals. The latest remittance was less than two months away from the scout's inquiry.
There is still only one result of this investigation: Ai Xiaonan, the wife of the victim eighteen years ago, is suspected of major harboring.
"It doesn't make sense for a victim's wife to harbor her husband's murderer."
Director Gu Shangtao stared at a stack of evidence extracted from various places, and what the evidence proved lacked logic. In the past few days, the team was closed, and he personally managed the business. All information was limited to one yard, and three meals were prepared by the police themselves. , even he didn't go out for three days, and he was looking forward to seeing the light of this case that had been pending for more than ten years.
Zhao Shaolong, the deputy director in charge of criminal investigation, was the captain of the criminal police before, but he didn't touch this high-voltage electricity when he was in office. When Gu Ju looked at him, he smiled awkwardly: "I... I don't know much about this case. "
"Then can you figure it out?" Gu Ju asked curiously, he knew that this was someone who was wise and safe.
"To be honest, I really can't figure it out." Deputy Director Zhao Shaolong shook his head.
"I can't figure it out either, but it's crazy, the clues are here, and I don't think anyone will be able to figure it out when this matter becomes a file in the future." Gu Shangtao said, making a surprised gesture.
"Then Gu Ju, what should we do next?" Zhao Shaolong asked.
"Criminal summons... Pay attention to the method and method, and send a few policewomen to each station, and you will handle it." Gu Shangtao said.
Deputy Director Zhao thumped, but he had no right to refuse.
With the in-depth investigation ahead, this calm old well in Qinyuan County is about to be stirred up to the point where sediment is rising...
…
In Shanghai, in the subway heading towards the airport, four township policemen sat side by side who hadn't found anything. When assigning tasks, Yu Zui chose the most difficult location for communication display. The phone numbers leading to Ai Xiaonan’s home have been shut down, but the fixed numbers are street public phones. The city went in circles.
Eighteen years have passed, and too many things have changed. The fake household registration that I used has disappeared after living in Anhui for a few years. With the advancement of modern technology, I am afraid that the suspect is also gradually accepting new knowledge to improve his hiding place. Way. There are many ways to do this, such as using a fake identity to apply for one or more fake identities; it can even be simpler, you can buy an identity from the black market that can check your resume on the police network, although after some I can't afford to scrutinize, but there is no problem at all to escape the investigation. At the very least, he can live in a strange place like a normal person without being suspected.
The more the case developed, the more difficult it became. Half of the county brigade's police force came out to investigate this case. It is said that his living place in Anhui has been dug up, and the photos are unmistakable. The technical scouts are slowly restoring his true appearance based on bit by bit of information.
This group belongs to non-staff members, and there are many places where they might have gotten the news. Xi'an, Zhengzhou, and Anhui all gave feedback clues, but after investigation, they all lived in places. Looking at it now, even Li Yifeng felt that the place Yu Zui chose was straightforward, and here should be the most likely place at present. He wanted to chat with Yu Zui several times, but seeing Yu Zui's pensive expression, he gave up.
When he turned his head, Li Dai and Shuan Yang were trembling, Li Yifeng paid attention, the two dared to wink, and they were looking at the couple standing by the window, embracing and kissing each other, he pinched each of them and reprimanded in a low voice : "Don't be worthless, stare at people and kiss."
"I'm still a child, with a big schoolbag on my back." Li Dai said awe-inspiringly.
"Big cities are great. You don't have to do anything wrong." Li Shuanyang said with a grin.
Li Yifeng was amused by these two local brothers, they had a lot of fun this trip, they took the plane, stayed in the hotel, and kept making fools of themselves along the way. Li Yifeng took the opportunity to educate again, everyone in this city is sweeping the snow in front of their doors, not to mention kissing, it is possible to run naked, can you control it? Also, pay attention to public morality, don't have nothing to do, stick out your stinky feet.
"It's okay, I'm going to check the director these two days, and I won't check us." Li Dai smiled and said, Li Yifeng couldn't help laughing at this sentence, and looked back at Yu Zui with a haggard face, his eyes were red and his face was full of stubble. , I have been checked several times for my ID card at the subway entrance, and the fugitive chaser is now more like a fugitive than anyone else.
Li Yifeng stopped the topic, didn't say anything, turned around and beat the director, but Yu Zui didn't seem to notice it. He looked at the mobile phone, the case text message sent back by the technical investigation just now, and the situation of the two teams was summarized. Back to Qinyuan, if there is definite information, the follow-up will meet here soon.
The phone was handed over to Li Yifeng, Li Yifeng glanced at it hastily, with a mournful face and a toothache, Yu Zui tilted his head but smiled: "Young dog, you are about to become a leading cadre, you can't just be virtuous when things happen."
Naturally, it was a joke that this guy scratched his head whenever something happened, and as expected, Li Yifeng whispered: "So many withdrawals, and it's all in the middle of the night, without taking pictures of his face?"
"Yes, this is the minimum precaution."
"Seven or eight bank account names came out, but I still don't know which one is real?"
"Yes, they should all be fake."
"You didn't even pick up the monitoring when you opened the account?"
"Yes, I guess I bought it with a bank card."
"Forget it, I guess it's useless to check the location of the phone. I will definitely find a place where there is no sky eye monitoring and no way to check."
"Yes, this is the basic principle."
If everything is right, then it will be difficult to deal with. Li Yifeng handed the mobile phone to Yu Zui in embarrassment. Anti-reconnaissance awareness also proves that this line is correct!"
"But how do you check?" Li Yifeng said.
"The cars are all here, how can there be no road." Yu Zui smiled, his face looked very tired.
When the car arrived, a few got off the subway and walked upstairs. Several lines and several lines interspersed together. Li Yifeng had to rush to grab the two township policemen, otherwise he would have to wait for a long time if one guy got lost, and occasionally had to Pulling Yu Zui, he was always walking in a daze, and even walked off the road.
The destination was not far from the exit of the subway. While walking, Li Shuanyang dragged the dog boy, and the three pointed to the police patrolling the crowd, making a bet to see who could be caught to check the ID card. Li Shuanyang was picked up once when he came here, and he learned to be good later on. As long as he dresses up cleanly and walks proudly, he will be fine.
Sure enough, the two patrol policemen walked towards the four of them, stretched out their hands, and stopped Yu Zui: "Comrade, can I see your ID card?"
"Ah? Which ID card?" Yu Zui was thinking about something, and said something wrong.
"How many ID cards do you have?" The policeman was stunned.
"Oh, one... why do I check my ID card everywhere I go? Do I look like a bad guy?" Yu Zui took out his pockets and looked at the patrolling policeman. The eyes of the two clearly told him that they didn't look like a good guy.
The three in the back giggled, seeing the consternation of the patrolman after getting the police certificate, and seeing the embarrassed smiles of the two, Yu Zui took back the certificate, but saluted and said: "It's okay, I should pay tribute to you, here The law and order is much better than I imagined."
"Thank you!" The two patrolmen returned the salute and smiled with a sense of accomplishment.
This time it was a surprise, Li Yifeng suddenly found that the director's speech became more and more gentle, not as tricky as before. Exiting the subway exit, squeezed out from the crowd, followed the location, and then several stood on the street dumbfounded:
Opposite is the positioning communication direction, but it is the bus station entrance, and the people waiting for the bus are looking at it in darkness. There is a continuous flow of traffic on the road across the road. In this clear place, what else may be left behind
"My mother, there are more people than trees all over the mountain. When will we find out?" Li Shuan's legs softened and he became depressed. He and Li Dai sat on the floor, and even Li Yifeng leaned against the guardrail, watching the crowd of people like ants, and felt that the road to arrest was nowhere in sight.
"Director, Director..." Li Yifeng asked.
"What's wrong?" Yu Zui said, sitting on the ground with Lian Yang, smoking a cigarette.
"What should we do?" Li Yifeng asked in a dilemma.
"He's in this city, very close to us, maybe he just passed by." Yu Zui said.
"But this city has a population of more than 10 million." Li Yifeng said with his mouth drooping.
"It's easy to check. He must not be a civil servant. He is not qualified to enter a unit with a establishment; it must not be a decent enterprise. He left at the age of eighteen and has no chance to receive a decent education; he must not be a local hooligan. Otherwise, at eighteen Years is enough for him to crash into the Internet... He should be engaged in a marginal occupation, with no identity, no status, no education and qualifications, but he should be able to support himself; the risk factor is small, and there are not many opportunities to show his face, so it is easy to hide … Such a career choice is actually quite narrow…”
As Yu Zui said, it seemed that he had returned to the time when he first arrived in Guangzhou. He was penniless, unaccompanied, and looked around in a daze. Wu Xiaolei might be even worse than his classmates, and he still had to worry that the police would spot him at any time. I can get out of that kind of situation, and I have lived for so many years, I have to admire a person's ability to survive when he is forced to a desperate situation.
where is it
Yu Zui looked at the endless flow of cars and people, although his eyes were dazed, they gradually became clearer. Because of this kind of environment, he is too familiar with it, the same kind of environment, there are not many opportunities for marginalized people to live...
…
Traffic, crowds, bustling streets.
The sounds from all over the world, the colorful private cars, and the sweltering and noisy environment make the people here feel distracted for no reason.
In a dark car facing the street, there was a middle-aged man sitting in the driver's seat, wiping his nose from time to time... no, wiping his eyes, as if he was tired or sleepy, from time to time. Many acquaintances at this street corner were a little strange. Usually, this time near dusk was a time when business was booming, but Lao Shi was not like usual, standing at the street corner to solicit business.
He was crying, he was crying, and the mobile phone in his hand displayed a news screen that seemed to have nothing to do with this city:
"Qinyuan County Urban Management Gang Beats an Elderly Couple, Seriously Injuring Both"
He is busy every day, and he has no time to take care of these things. He only occasionally checks the changes in his hometown on the Internet, but he accidentally discovered this news that made him heartbroken.
"Old Shi, what's wrong with you..."
A driver with a partner knocked on the car window. He shook his hand, wiped his face, and drove the door down. He was uncomfortable on the straight road. Ignoring his partner's surprise, he ran across the road and into the lawn. He ran into an unknown alley. He squatted down, clenched his teeth tightly into his fist, and finally couldn't hold back, and wept bitterly.
"Mom... Mom... Dad... Dad..."
Just like when he was babbling in his infancy, he uttered these few words with difficulty, every word was like a pain in the heart, and what he cried out was so painful.
How many years has it been so painful and uncomfortable, and every word seems to be extremely important, what he shouted is so difficult.
He was crying, dialing the phone, the phone was always on, but no one answered...
…
Qinyuan County thousands of miles away...
At this moment, Ai Xiaonan was returning home with autumn melons and beans bought in the vegetable market. He had been restless for several days, but after knowing that Li Huilan and Wu Xiangqian were fine, he finally relaxed. Her father-in-law passed away and her daughter went to college. She is already alone, and time has slowly healed the wounds of the past. She has become accustomed to living in this kind of peace and indifference to the world.
She is a very quiet middle-aged woman, with her hair unbuttoned, a double-breasted top, ordinary Chinese trousers and cloth shoes, not much different from most housewives in the county.
Facing the photo, the policewoman said to the driver: "It's her, park the car at the entrance of the unit."
A car with an ordinary license plate drove straight into the unit, but Ai Xiaonan didn't notice. When she approached, the car door opened, and two women with serious expressions stopped her: "Ai Xiaonan, please follow us. Police. "
"Assist in the investigation, we don't want to make too much noise, please." Another said, stepping aside to open the car door.
The vegetable bag in Ai Xiaonan's hand snapped off, her expression seemed to be struck by lightning, and she was almost mechanically helped into the car by two policewomen.
The car ran over the vegetable bag and sped away. The round and translucent autumn melon became rotten and crumbled...
