On the street not far from Jing'an Hotel, Chen Yuzhi was walking slowly with a medicine box. He just came out of the patient's home and was planning to go back to Yu Zhitang to continue his consultation.
Suddenly, a gunshot broke the tranquility of the entire street. Passers-by screamed and ran away from Jing'an Hotel to dodge.
Chen Yuzhi's expression froze, and he did the opposite, reacting quickly and going against the flow of people.
Because he was thinking about the injured, he hurriedly walked, and accidentally bumped into a player carrying a violin case at the corner.
He hurriedly stopped and wanted to apologize, but the man walked away quickly without looking back, as if some scourge was chasing after him.
Although Chen Yuzhi was a little strange, he couldn't care less now, and continued to run towards Jing'an Hotel.
He didn't know that the player he thought was the instigator of the gunshot, and the violin box was not a musical instrument, but a disassembled sniper rifle.
At this time, at the entrance of Jing'an Hotel, Jiang Yuelou supported the dying Minister Zhou, extremely anxious. His eyes locked on the position of the assassin, and he shouted to Song Rong: "The killer is on the roof opposite, chase after him!
Song Rong nodded and ran in that direction with a team of policemen.
Jin Dacheng also heard the movement, and rushed out of the hotel with people, and saw Minister Zhou leaning on Jiang Yuelou, breathing weakly, and blood kept spilling from the corner of his mouth.
"Mr. Zhou... Minister Zhou!" He was so stunned that he squatted down to check.
"Call Chen Yuzhi to save people!"
Jin Dacheng was at a loss in panic, stood up and looked around for a while, and asked anxiously, "Where is Dr. Chen? Where is it?"
Jiang Yuelou was a little speechless at his stupid appearance, and pulled him off, asked him to support Minister Zhou, and then decisively took off his coat and spread it on the ground, letting Minister Zhou lie flat on it.
"Should we ask a stretcher to carry it in first..." Jin Dacheng suggested.
At this moment, Chen Yuzhi broke through the crowd and squeezed in. Before he could greet Jiang Yuelou, he hurriedly stopped him: "He needs to stop the bleeding first. The bullet may hurt his liver. Don't move easily." After speaking, he opened the door neatly. out of the medicine chest.
Police cordoned off the perimeter and were evacuating some onlookers. Jiang Yuelou and Jin Dacheng watched the rescue process worriedly.
Chen Yuzhi checked his pupils first, then used tweezers to hold a cotton ball to stain the oozing blood, cleaned the wound, and without turning his head, he stretched out his hand and said, "Engted pliers."
Jiang Yuelou tacitly took out the pliers from the medicine box and handed them to him, very skillfully.
"Help me hold him."
Jiang Yuelou quickly pressed Minister Zhou's shoulder again.
Jin Dacheng on the side stared at the two dumbfounded, wondering when did this strong and cold Jiang Yuelou become so obedient, as if he was Chen Yuzhi's assistant, as long as Chen Yuzhi said a word, he would be able to follow him at the same time Up, no complaints at all.
Chen Yuzhi had no time to consider other people's thoughts, and was slowly reaching for the wound with the pliers, ready to take out the bullet. He noticed that Minister Zhou's breathing was getting weaker and weaker, and the blood coming out of the wound was getting darker and darker. When the initial bright red blood flowed out, almost all the blood gushed out from it was black blood.
"The bullet is poisoned." His face was a little ugly.
Jiang Yuelou hurriedly asked, "Is there any other way?"
Before Chen Yuzhi could respond, Minister Zhou had already stopped breathing.
"It's over, it's over now." Jin Dacheng muttered to himself with ashen face.
In the city government building, Cai Changyao looked angry, picked up a document and threw it at Bai Jinbo.
"Is this the top-secret mission completed by your police station?"
Bai Jinbo endured it silently, not knowing how to explain.
"The mayor of Qingcheng sent thirteen telegrams in a row, and Beiping also knows the news. How do you ask me to explain?" Cai Changyao was furious, his voice high and harsh.
"It's the subordinate's dereliction of duty." Bai Jinbo stood in front of the desk with his head bowed, responding hoarsely.
"I don't want to hear a word of this nonsense, I just want the result."
"I will find out as soon as possible and give you an explanation."
Cai Changyao was not satisfied with Bai Jinbo's attitude, so he decided to ask himself: "Who is responsible for carrying out the security mission this time?"
"Jiang Yuelou, Jin Dacheng, and Feng Yu."
"What about the specific distribution?"
Bai Jinbo answered honestly: "Jiang Yuelou is in charge of pick-up and drop-off, Jin Dacheng is in charge of hotel security, and Feng Yu is in charge of catering guarantee. In order to prevent hidden dangers, each of them only knows part of the information. Jiang Yuelou knows the pick-up time, but does not know the hotel conference room, The accommodation arrangement; Jin Dacheng knew the meeting arrangement, but he did not know the arrival time of the personnel; as for Feng Yu, he only purchased safe ingredients, supervised the chef’s cooking, delivered them to the designated place, and then sent them to the hotel.”
Cai Changyao thought for a moment, then analyzed: "That is to say, Feng Yu doesn't know the meeting place of Jing'an Hotel at all, so he can temporarily rule it out."
Bai Jinbo nodded.
"The focus is on Jiang Yuelou and Jin Dacheng, let me investigate. Also, the assassination of Minister Zhou has caused a sensation and attracted the attention of the whole people. After the murderer is caught, a public trial must be arranged."
"Okay." Bai Jinbo took the order and left.
In the conference room of the police station, only Jiang Yuelou and Jin Dacheng sat facing each other.
Jiang Yuelou's face was calm, and he kept thinking in his mind. But Jin Dacheng was a little restless, looking around from time to time, shaking his legs and shaking his hands, and kept glancing at Jiang Yuelou.
The two were silent for a long time, Jin Dacheng finally couldn't bear it anymore, and complained in a rough voice: "Jiang Yuelou, this matter has nothing to do with me, if you cause trouble, don't drag me into the water."
Jiang Yuelou looked up at him, then quickly ignored him.
His reaction made Jin Dacheng so angry that he walked around the conference table and walked to him, and continued to babble: "Except for the people in the inspection department, who knows when you will go to the station to pick up people, even if there is a traitor who leaks the news , that must be under your nose, yes, it is because of your lax supervision... "
Jiang Yuelou looked at him, a little impatient: "Since I came in, I haven't said a word that this matter has nothing to do with me. Don't worry now? Can you be quiet for a while and let me think about it?"
Jin Dacheng's nagging stopped abruptly, and he let out a dumbfounded oh.
Jiang Yuelou got up and walked to the door, and asked the police guarding outside for paper and pens.
On the paper, he outlined the location of the streets near the Jing'an Hotel, marked the building where the killer shot, and the place where Minister Zhou was killed, and then waved to Jin Dacheng. "come and see."
Jin Dacheng was very dissatisfied: "I'm not your subordinate, I will go if you ask me to go? We are equals, so you have to say please..."
Jiang Yuelou was speechless, too lazy to talk to him, and continued to ponder with his head down.
Now Jin Dacheng rushed over instead: "Hey, why don't you play your cards according to reason? Why do you ask me?"
Jiang Yuelou handed over the painted paper.
"Isn't it just a schematic diagram of the surrounding environment of Jing'an Hotel? If you don't draw it, I will know it." Jin Dacheng glanced at it, a little disdainful.
"Look carefully, this is the entrance of the Jing'an Hotel, and this is where the killer shot. The building he chose is not directly adjacent to the Jing'an Hotel, so it is not within the scope of our investigation, but it is within the range of the sniper rifle This shows that he not only knows the driving route and destination of the visitor in advance, but even knows the scope and plan of our investigation."
Jin Dacheng was taken aback by him: "Don't beat me up, the scope of the investigation is determined by the director, and I'm just leading people to execute it."
Jiang Yuelou looked at him a little helplessly: "I'm just analyzing the facts, can you not rush to pick yourself out?"
"I don't need to pick it. I am also outside the scope of suspicion." Jin Dacheng said confidently.
"Then have you ever wondered why we are the ones under house arrest, but not Feng Yu?"
Jin Dacheng thought about it for a while, and suddenly understood. He sat down dejectedly and sighed: "Old Feng is really lucky. I knew that I was going to be in charge of catering. I was in charge of security. It's unlucky."
Just as Jiang Yuelou was about to say something, Bai Jinbo pushed the door and walked in. The two quickly got up and greeted him respectfully.
Bai Jinbo looked at the two with a straight face for a while, then his eyes fell on the analysis paper on the table, he picked it up to look at it, and then put it back to its original place.
"It seems that you have already figured out why you are the one who is suspicious."
Before Jiang Yuelou could speak, Jin Dacheng expressed his opinion first: "Yes, director, I have been thinking about it since the first second I came in."
Jiang Yuelou knew that he was such an exuberant character, he wanted to be the first in everything he did, and he didn't expose it. He just looked at Bai Jinbo seriously and asked, "What did Mayor Cai say?"
"All parties are putting pressure on it, it's very tricky." Bai Jinbo sighed, turned his head and looked carefully at Jiang Yuelou's expression for a while, with obscure emotions in his eyes, "From 7:30 to 7:40 in the morning Five, where are you?"
Jiang Yuelou thought for a while: "The office."
"I'm on my way."
Bai Jinbo stared at Jiang Yuelou: "Is there anyone else?"
"Myself."
Jin Dacheng followed up and said: "There is also Xiaohui, he drives the car."
Looking at Jiang Yuelou, Bai Jinbo sighed again, clapped his hands twice, and several policemen rushed in from outside the door.
"Take Chief Jiang to the interrogation room."
Jiang Yuelou was puzzled, but did not resist, and cooperated with the two policemen to go out.
Jin Dacheng stared at him dumbfounded: "It can't really be you, can it?"
He did not answer this question, but sat calmly on the interrogation chair, believing that Bai Jinbo would not wrong an innocent person for no reason.
Bai Jinbo did give him face and didn't let the police put handcuffs on him.
"What happened between 7:30 and 7:45 in the morning?" Before Bai Jinbo could speak, he asked.
Bai Jinbo didn't hide anything, and said bluntly: "The police station office made a call through the switchboard on Qingming Road."
"The buildings around Jing'an Hotel, including the Broadway building where the killer is hiding, all use this switch." Jiang Yuelou immediately responded.
"That's right. This call should be the one from the traitor."
"So, you suspect me?"
Bai Jinbo smiled at him, very sure: "I know it can't be you. But in fact, you are the only suspect now. To be more specific, that call was made from your office."
Jiang Yuelou also smiled: "It seems familiar." He paused for a while, and added: "It's very similar to the last smokehouse incident. It's very difficult to lure or force me into an environment where I can't turn back. Save yourself. I guess the mastermind behind this scene is still that mysterious person."
Bai Jinbo nodded and asked, "What do you think?"
"What do you think of it?"
"more specific."
"What they want is nothing more than to use all kinds of evidence that seems impossible to be false to drive me to a corner. Then I might as well admit that it is indeed me. According to the usual practice, such important cases need to be tried by the public."
Bai Jinbo admired Jiang Yuelou's meticulous thought, "Mayor Cai has already spoken, and once the case is finalized, it will be tried immediately."
"The mastermind behind the scenes is very likely to appear at the public trial. No matter how careful the hunter is, he will show his feet. At this time, it is the best time for us to fight back."
Bai Jinbo thought about it for a while, but he didn't quite agree with this plan, "It's a little risky, if she doesn't show up, it will be difficult to overturn the conviction in the public trial."
"Other than that, we have no other choice." Jiang Yuelou looked at Bai Jinbo firmly until he nodded in agreement helplessly.
After the incident, Chen Yuzhi watched with his own eyes Jiang Yuelou and Jin Dacheng being taken back to the police station for investigation, feeling quite worried in his heart, and eagerly paced back and forth in Yu Zhitang.
Chu Ran hurried over after receiving the news, and he immediately went up to meet him and said, "Minister Zhou has been assassinated."
"I know that the newspaper office was in a state of excitement early in the morning, and everyone was following up on this matter. Editor-in-Chief Yu asked me to interview. After all, you are also one of the witnesses of the assassination."
"Strictly speaking, I'm not a person who witnessed it. When I arrived, Minister Zhou had already been shot, and died of poisoning before he could be treated. I didn't get any effective information."
Chu Ran sat on the chair and sighed, "The police department is now refusing to accept interviews, and there are rumors everywhere. The truth of this situation should be announced earlier, and blindly concealing it will only intensify."
Chen Yuzhi felt strange and asked, "Rumor? How did you say it?"
"There are many versions. Some infer that there are spies in the police station; others point the finger at the committee. This meeting caused disputes between the two factions before. Some people speculate that this is a political murder; damage their vested interests."
Chen Yuzhi shook his head in disapproval: "Outrageous."
"Unless the investigation is made public as soon as possible, there will only be more rumors."
"It's difficult. Yuelou was involved, and he is now under house arrest at the police station. According to this meaning, the police station should plan to investigate secretly."
Chu Ran thought for a while, and said firmly: "There must be other ways, and there will be room for things to turn around."
Chen Yuzhi also nodded firmly.
He and Chu Ran split up. Chu Ran continued to track information as a reporter, while he went to the police station to see if there was any way to meet Jiang Yuelou or Bai Jinbo.
It was already noon, and the scorching sun hung brightly overhead, but it did not dispel the winter chill at all.
The bulletin board at the entrance of the police station was crowded with people, all crowded just to read a huge notice.
Chen Yuzhi never liked to join in the fun, but at this time he couldn't care less about it. He squeezed in with great effort, and read the content of the notice: It is scheduled to be held at nine o'clock in the morning on the 19th in France. At No. 68 Hua Road, the public trial of Jiang Yuelou, the suspect in the assassination of Minister Zhou Fanling, was held. Thirty auditorium seats were set up, and they were seated in order.
How did you become a suspect? Chen Yuzhi panicked, looked at the window of Jiang Yuelou's office and thought for a while, then left the police station.
He waited downstairs in Chu Ran's apartment until the evening, and when he saw Chu Ran came back from work, he hurried over to greet her.
"Are you going to the public trial tomorrow? How are the 30 auditoriums arranged? Are there any vacancies?" Chen Yuzhi asked questions like cannonballs.
Chu Ran's expression was also a little dignified, "You know everything?" Seeing Chen Yuzhi nodded, she continued a little wearily: "I was planning to wait for the results to come out and then tell you. Four of these quotas are allocated. Those for the newspaper, and others are representatives of various industries. We only have two newspapers.”
"help me."
Chu Ran knew that it was rare for Chen Yuzhi to ask for help, but he was still a little embarrassed: "Are you going to the scene? This is not easy."
"I don't know what outsiders think, but you and I both know that this must not be Jiang Yuelou's doing. I am worried that he will be stimulated at the public trial scene, suffer from emotional attacks, and ruin his police career. I’m afraid I’m going to sit down too.”
His worry was not unreasonable, and Chu Ran was also afraid of what would happen in the end, so he began to think about it. She suddenly thought of a way and dragged Chen Yuzhi away. "I'll go back to Yu Zhitang with you and get some medicine for diarrhea."
In Yu Zhitang, Chen Yuzhi took a box of medicine from the medicine cabinet with a hesitant expression. "Is this... suitable?"
He is a doctor who heals diseases and saves lives. He never thought of using drugs to damage the health of innocent people.
Chu Ran spread her hands: "There is no other way. Only if Yu Sinian can't get in, you have a chance."
Chen Yuzhi gritted his teeth, finally handed the medicine over, and said carefully: "Don't take too much, two pills are enough."
Chu Ran took the medicine and nodded, "Nine o'clock public trial, you wait for me at the gate of the public trial hall at 8:30." She looked at Chen Yuzhi's image and said, "Many people in the police station know you. You better put on a disguise."
"Don't worry, I know what to do."
They were in a hurry to get angry, but Jiang Shengnan was in a very good mood, and repeatedly praised the male follower for a good job.
She personally poured a glass of red wine and handed it to the male follower, "Where's the gun? Have you cleaned it up?"
The male follower took the wine glass respectfully, and replied, "It's sunk in the Jingjiang River, and no one can find it."
"Pretty. Let's see Cheng Qing now."
The male follower nodded with a smile, clinked a glass with Jiang Shengnan, and they both drank the red wine at the same time.
The mellow aroma of red wine activated the switch of excitement in Jiang Shengnan's heart, and he couldn't help but dance to the Western music played in the bar.
While dancing, she told the male follower: "Keep an eye on Yali, don't let her do bad things."
"clear."
The male attendant left the box, leaving Jiang Shengnan alone, drinking wine, dancing, lighting a cigar, and laughing happily.
She knew that as long as a woman became ruthless, even Jiang Yuelou couldn't beat her.
On the other side, Qiu Ming was checking Zhan Junbai's itinerary, and suddenly thought of tomorrow's public trial, so he asked him if he planned to attend the trial.
Zhan Junbai said it without thinking, which made him a little worried. "Is it better for you to avoid it for a while. Mrs. Jiang will also go tomorrow. In case she..."
Zhan Junbai put down the documents in hand, not happy about the imminent destruction of Jiangyuelou. "I'm not worried about her, but about Jiang Yuelou."
Seeing that Qiu Ming was a little puzzled, he asked, "What kind of person do you think Jiang Yuelou is?"
Qiu Ming thought about it, and used four words to describe it: "hard, stubborn, shaft, and stubborn."
"Yeah, if it wasn't for him, would such a stubborn person plead guilty so easily? Jiang Shengnan originally prepared other forged evidence to prove Jiang Yuelou's identity as a spy, but now it is useless at all. He just It was easy to admit."
"You suspect it's a trap?" Qiu Ming seemed to understand.
Zhan Junbai also hesitated: "It's hard to judge at the moment, let's talk about tomorrow's situation."
On the second day, many people gathered in front of the public trial hall. There were reporters who had not obtained a witness pass, and there were also people who came to watch the excitement. Everyone chattered and chattered, turning the deserted and solemn public trial hall into a noisy vegetable market.
Chu Ran and the disheveled Yu Sinian came across the street. Yu Sinian rubbed his stomach and complained as he walked: "It must be the problem with the pan-fried buns in the morning. I only ate two. I ran away this morning." I went to the toilet six times! Huh? That’s not right, Xiao Chu, you also ate, why are you all right?”
Before Chu Ran could answer, Yu Sinian's stomach started to growl again. With a look of pain on his face, he quickly handed her the camera and satchel, and went straight to the toilet.
"I'm sorry." Chu Ran looked at his running back, full of apology.
At this time, someone patted her shoulder lightly from behind. She looked back and saw that it was Chen Yuzhi, so she quickly pulled him aside and looked at him carefully.
As expected, Chen Yuzhi made a disguise. He put on a suit that he didn't usually wear, a small top hat with the brim pulled down, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, which covered some of his face.
Chu Ran was very satisfied with his outfit, hung the camera around his neck, and handed Yu Sinian's ID to him, "Remember, from now on, you are Yu Sinian from Jingcheng Daily."
There are guards guarding the entrance of the public trial hall, and the IDs of the observers are checked in turn before they are released.
Chu Ran and Chen Yuzhi mixed among the crowd queuing up to enter the arena, and slowly moved to the entrance.
The guard took the certificate from Chu Ran, looked at it, and let her go.
Chen Yu took a step forward and handed over his certificate.
The inspection time was a bit long for them. Although Chen Yuzhi looked indifferent and Chu Ran, who had already entered, also pretended to be calm, both of them were a little nervous inside, fearing that the guards would see their flaws.
At this moment, after Chen Yuzhi's death, Jiang Shengnan came slowly. Her makeup today is not as coquettish as before, it is a bit more heroic when matched with her capable professional attire, and she looks more like a female reporter than Chu Ran.
The guard checked Chen Yuzhi's ID carefully, and seemed to find that something was wrong, so he was completely taken aback by Jiang Shengnan's smile, and let Chen Yuzhi go directly.
"Zhang Xiaonan from the "Reporter"?" The guard took Jiang Shengnan's ID and looked at it casually, mostly sizing up her face and figure, and after letting her go, he even glanced at her back greedily.
Another guard came out of the hall and ordered: "During the court session, keep quiet and block it!"
The door of the public trial hall was slowly closed.
Not far away, Yu Sinian ran over quickly and shouted "Wait a minute", but the door was closed before he arrived. He just took two shots, and his stomach felt uncomfortable again, so he had to give up the interview.
In the waiting room, Jiang Yuelou stretched out his hand and asked Bai Jinbo to handcuff his wrists.
Bai Jinbo couldn't bear it, and comforted him: "Do all the tricks."
He didn't care about these, and reminded Bai Jinbo: "Today's focus is on those thirty auditoriums, and he should be among them."
Bai Jinbo patted him on the shoulder: "It has been arranged."
He seemed uneasy, and continued: "To be on the safe side, it's best to arrange someone to watch outside the door."
"You are in prison, but you have become my boss." Bai Jinbo couldn't help but joked.
Jiang Yuelou also smiled embarrassedly: "No matter what time you are, you are my superior."
"Be cautious when the court is in session, especially pay attention to your emotions."
Jiang Yuelou nodded, and walked to the public trial hall with the police who came in to urge them.
In the hall, the aged and elegant presiding judge was already sitting on the seat waiting, and the clerk, the reporters and representatives from all walks of life were also in their seats.
Chu Ran and Chen Yuzhi sat in the far right of the first row of auditoriums, and Jiang Shengnan sat in the middle of the penultimate row. Bai Jinbo and Zhan Junbai sat on the jury because they were government officials.
The presiding judge glanced around and announced: "Minister Zhou Fanling's assassination case, Jiang Yuelou's alleged collusion with the enemy, the trial is now open." He picked up a hammer and hit it, "Bring the suspect Jiang Yuelou to court."
As soon as his words fell, the side door was opened, and Jiang Yuelou was escorted to the dock by two guards.
Chu Ran and Chen Yuzhi immediately looked over worriedly, but when Jiang Yuelou passed them, he didn't look sideways, with an indifferent expression, as if they were strangers.
At the same time, Jiang Shengnan was also staring at Jiang Yuelou, feeling familiar, but he just couldn't remember where he saw it.
After Jiang Yuelou stood still in the dock, the presiding judge looked at the case file in his hand and asked Jiang Yuelou seriously: "Now let's start asking questions, and the suspects are asked to answer seriously. To welcome Minister Zhou Fanling, only those who know the specific information in advance you alone?"
Jiang Yuelou generously admitted this.
"The people who know the departure time include the eight members of the first team of the Inspection Section?"
"yes."
"After Minister Zhou got in the car, you told the driver the location of the destination and set off, and the rest of the people didn't know?"
Jiang Yuelou still answered "yes" coldly.
The presiding judge continued to ask: "Where were you at 7:40 in the morning when the incident happened?"
"office."
"Have you ever called outside?"
"No."
The presiding judge was not satisfied with the answer, so he tapped the hammer and said, "Bring witnesses, Song Rong."
Song Rong was brought in by the police. He was in a bad mood and kept his head down, not daring to look at Jiang Yuelou.
This was beyond Jiang Yuelou's expectation, and he was thinking quickly in his mind.
The presiding judge looked at Song Rong and asked, "Where were you at 7:40 in the morning when the case happened?"
Song Rong replied honestly: "At the police station. The car was ready at that time, and I was going to ask the section chief for instructions. When I arrived at the door of the office, I saw the section chief was on the phone, so I left first."
His answer was extremely unfavorable to Jiang Yuelou, Chen Yuzhi and Chu Ran couldn't help showing worried expressions, but Jiang Shengnan raised his hand to hide his smug smile.
Bai Jinbo, who was sitting next to Zhan Junbai, was a little restless, looking worriedly at Jiang Yuelou from time to time. Zhan Junbai noticed his emotions, observed for a while quietly, and then paid attention to Jiang Yuelou's expression.
The presiding judge stared at Jiang Yuelou sternly, "Answer the witness' statement."
"In court, ask questions."
"agree."
Jiang Yuelou looked at Song Rong calmly, his eyes were piercing, without the slightest slump like a prisoner.
"The first question, how do you determine that the time is exactly seven forty."
"The police station's newcomer training, the morning class ends at 7:40. When I left, I met them after class." Song Rong answered seriously.
"Okay. Second question, what is the content of my conversation."
"I don't know. You didn't speak during the few seconds I was there, exactly."
"Okay, I'm done asking." Jiang Yuelou turned to the presiding judge and made a statement: "In court, the reason why he didn't hear me was because I was not on the phone, but on the phone."
At that time, he was sitting on the sofa reading documents when the phone rang suddenly. He stepped forward to answer it, but there was no sound from inside. He waited for a moment and hung up the phone.
Jiang Shengnan had been waiting for the moment when Jiang Yuelou was defeated, and still didn't care about his dying struggle. She didn't notice that Bai Jinbo's gaze was sweeping towards everyone in the auditorium, observing secretly.
The presiding judge looked at Bai Jinbo: "Juror, present the relevant evidence."
Bai Jinbo got up, bowed respectfully to the presiding judge, and then said: "The court, the evidence that can be found so far is that in the morning of the incident, before leaving for the station to pick up people, the phone in Jiangyuelou's office and the switchboard near Jing'an Hotel There was a call, whether it was Jiang Yuelou's statement, he didn't know the identity of the other party, and there was no substantive communication, so he had no way of knowing."
Zhan Junbai was a little strange about Bai Jinbo's testimony, and what he said was obviously not good for Jiang Yuelou.
Everyone in the auditorium began to discuss. Chen Yuzhi turned his head worriedly, and everyone's reactions flashed in his peripheral vision.
The presiding judge dropped the hammer again, reminding the observers to be quiet, and continued the interrogation: "Jiang Yuelou, please explain."
"I have nothing to explain." Jiang Yuelou dropped this sentence angrily, as if he had already begun to lose his temper.
The presiding judge was a little angry and reminded: "Jiang Yuelou, this court will try you in accordance with legal procedures, please respect the court."
Jiang Yuelou didn't appreciate it: "That's the truth."
Chen Yuzhi and Chu Ran looked at each other, and they both understood each other's inner thoughts at the moment. What they were worried about finally happened, and Jiang Yuelou's emotional illness might break out again.
Zhan Junbai looked at Bai Jinbo and sighed slightly, and Bai Jinbo shook his head at the same time, expressing that he was powerless.
The reaction of the two gave Jiang Shengnan a signal, thinking that he had a chance to win, his eyes flashed with triumphant calculations, he even lifted his hair charmingly, and then changed to a more relaxed and comfortable sitting position, patiently waiting for Jiang Yuelou to make a public trial scene screen.
The presiding judge called witnesses again, and a policeman came out to report the results of the autopsy.
"According to the autopsy, the bullet in Minister Zhou Fanling's body has a caliber of 7.6mm, which is a special bullet issued by the police station."
This sentence stirred up thousands of waves, and everyone looked at Jiang Yuelou in surprise. Even Bai Jinbo didn't know this fact, which was quite surprising. But he saw that Jiang Yuelou was still calm, and his nervousness eased a little.
But for the audience, this is undoubtedly evidence that can convict Jiang Yuelou.
The presiding judge looked at Jiang Yuelou and snapped, "The evidence is convincing. Do you plead guilty?"
At this time, Jiang Yuelou fell silent and said nothing.
The presiding judge raised his voice again: "Jiang Yuelou, the evidence is solid, do you plead guilty!"
"Since the evidence is solid, does it make a difference whether I admit it or not?" Jiang Yuelou sneered.
The presiding judge didn't want to entangle any longer, and said, "The facts of the crime are confirmed. Minister Zhou Fanling was assassinated, and Jiang Yuelou was suspected of collaborating with the enemy. Now the sentence is pronounced, and everyone stands up."
Everyone stood up following the command of the presiding judge, waiting for the verdict. Chen Yuzhi and Chu Ran's faces were ashen, Zhan Junbai's face was thoughtful, and Jiang Shengnan could hardly hide his joy. None of them noticed, Bai Jinbo glanced at the auditorium again.
"With this verdict, the suspect, Jiang Yuelou, will be executed by shooting immediately."
Everyone was in an uproar, but the corners of Jiang Shengnan's mouth raised slightly, and the excitement in his eyes couldn't be concealed.
A policeman came up to escort Jiang Yuelou to the execution ground.
At the same time, Bai Jinbo had locked on his target and quickly walked towards Jiang Shengnan.
Jiang Shengnan sensed something was wrong, and immediately prepared to evacuate. But just as she turned around, she was stopped by a policeman.
Jiang Shengnan drew his gun neatly and shot, the guard fell to the ground. She quickly turned over the chair and ran towards the back door.
This sudden change caused chaos in the auditorium, and people fled in all directions. Chen Yuzhi didn't have time to think about it, so he subconsciously picked up the camera and took a picture of Jiang Shengnan.
All the policemen at the scene drew their guns to surround Jiang Shengnan, but left Jiang Yuelou aside. When he looked back, he didn't see Jiang Shengnan's face, but a back figure running through the crowd.
Jiang Shengnan's marksmanship was very accurate, avoiding the police blocking the road all the way, and rushed out. The male attendant's car was parked outside. Seeing her escape in a panic, he quickly started the car and drove over so that she could get in the car and evacuate.
Bai Jinbo had already chased out with a gun at this time. Seeing Jiang Shengnan rushing towards the car, he quickly shot to stop him. It's a pity that he only hit Jiang Shengnan on the arm, but couldn't stop her from getting into the car quickly. The car whizzed by in front of him and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Back in the bar, Jiang Shengnan sat on the sofa in the box, with one arm bare, watching the male attendant help her take out the bullet with a look of resentment.
"The third master is right. Jiang Yuelou is indeed not to be underestimated. I don't have the patience to play this kind of intellectual game with him. I'm better at killing people." She motioned the male follower to approach, and whispered in his ear After looking for a while, he saw him nodding his head and leaving, stroking the wound with his fingers, and a vicious gleam burst out of his eyes.
The real mastermind behind the scenes was exposed, and Jiang Yuelou's charges were naturally dismissed, and Chen Yuzhi returned to his office with a dazed expression.
"Is this a trap?" After hearing his explanation, Chen Yuzhi was very surprised.
"I bet he will come, but I didn't expect it to be a woman. When the photos are developed, we can confirm who she is."
"So, the presiding judge also colluded in advance?"
Jiang Yuelou smiled wryly at him: "I'm not so capable. The only people who know about it today are Director Bai and I. He is still in the public trial hall to deal with the aftermath."
While the two were talking, Song Rong knocked on the door full of guilt and came in, bowing his head to Jiang Yuelou to admit his mistake.
"What you stated today is all facts. There is no falsehood. Why is there anything wrong? They deliberately designed it so that you could see me call with your own eyes. The intention is to alienate. If you have stated falsehood because of me, that is the right thing to do." fine."
Song Rong raised his head suddenly, his eyes were full of gratitude and admiration, he knew that the boss would not blame him for this, because he only had justice in his eyes.
"How is the murderer's investigation going?" Jiang Yuelou continued to ask.
Song Rong shook his head: "It seems that the world has evaporated, and there is no news."
"Go to the Broadway Building and ask all the staff, especially the elevator staff and the front desk, to ask again carefully..."
Chen Yuzhi seemed to remember something: "Wait, Broadway Building?"
"The shooter fired on the roof of the Broadway building."
Chen Yuzhi suddenly remembered the violin player who was bumped into by him and left quickly without looking back.
"After hearing the gunshots on the day of the incident, I immediately ran towards the Jing'an Hotel. I ran into a man carrying a cello box downstairs in the Broadway building. He was in a hurry, and he didn't react after being hit, and he didn't look back. He walked away. Thinking about it now, he was very suspicious."
Jiang Yuelou's eyes lit up, and he pushed a pen and paper to him: "What does it look like? Draw it."
Chen Yuzhi recalled it carefully, and shook his head in embarrassment: "I didn't see it clearly after a blink of an eye. He is about 1.8 meters tall, thin, and looks like he is in his twenties."
Jiang Yuelou looked at Song Rong: "According to these clues, send someone to verify."
Song Rong left in response.
"You did me another big favor." Jiang Yuelou seemed to be in a good mood, slumped on the sofa, and relaxed his posture.
Chen Yuzhi sat beside him, "I'm just guessing, not necessarily true."
"I don't just refer to this, but also to photos. Being able to calm down enough to take pictures to collect evidence in that situation is not only something that can be done with boldness and carefulness."
Chen Yuzhi was a little embarrassed by the praise, and smiled shyly: "I'm just an assistant, and it's you who set up the game to catch the big fish."
After he finished speaking, he leaned on the sofa like Jiang Yuelou, and the two looked at the ceiling together, laughing tacitly.
Another room in the police station was arranged as a darkroom, and Chu Ran was concentrating on developing photos. She picked up a soaked photo from the developing solution and shook it gently, waiting patiently for the photo to form.
Suddenly the door was knocked, and after a while, there was the sound of opening the door. Chu Ran looked up and found Cheng Qing, the adjutant next to Jiang Yuelou, standing at the door.
"Miss Chu, someone is looking downstairs."
Chu Ran glanced at the photo in embarrassment: "I can't walk away now, the photo is almost ready."
Cheng Qing took a step forward and said naturally, "If you don't mind, I'll watch it for you."
"Then I'll trouble you." Chu Ran clamped the photo in her hand on a hanging rope, and hurried to the door.
The door was closed by her, and the room fell into darkness again, only Cheng Qing was left with a strange smile on his face.
He quickly walked to the developing solution, took out a small bottle of chemical reagent from his pocket, poured it into the developing solution without hesitation, and tore off all the photos hanging on the rope waiting to be formed and threw them into it.
After finishing all this, he turned and walked towards the door to leave. But as soon as he opened the door, he saw the confident Jiang Yuelou standing at the door, like a hunter waiting for his prey to fall into his net.
"Why, can't wait to destroy the evidence?" Jiang Yuelou stared at him with a half-smile.
Cheng Qing felt great fear in his heart, tried his best to restrain his emotions, and said calmly: "No, section chief, I just took a look at the photos, okay?"
"There's no need to hide it. The only person in the entire police station who is interested in this photo is the gangster who is with the woman who appeared at the public trial today."
Seeing that the incident was exposed, Cheng Qing turned pale, and raised his hand to draw his gun, but Jiang Yuelou stepped forward to capture him neatly. While dodging the bullet, he controlled Cheng Qing and lowered his gun.
After the gunshot, Chen Yuzhi, Chu Ran, Song Rong and other police rushed over one after another.
"You knew the departure time, you knew the destination in advance from other channels, arranged for the assassination of Minister Zhou Fanling, and even deliberately designed a phone call with no content at 7:40 on the day of the incident, and let me finally The trusted Song Rong became the only eyewitness."
Cheng Qing struggled desperately to no avail, was violently pressed against the wall, and accepted Jiang Yuelou's questioning step by step.
"Who is that woman? How did you know about Jing'an Hotel? Tell me!"
With great effort, Cheng Qing turned his head and gave him a stern smile, and suddenly gritted his teeth, black blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and he died instantly.
Jiang Yuelou reacted quickly and immediately squeezed his mouth open, but it was too late.
Chen Yu stepped forward, also squeezed Cheng Qing's jaw to check, regretfully said: "It contains wax pills, and there is poison hidden in it."
Song Rong quickly motioned to the two policemen to carry the body away, and followed Jiang Yuelou into the darkroom.
The photo in the developer has been destroyed, and the photo paper is blank, with no image at all.
But everyone was not surprised, they seemed to have known about it for a long time, and did not pay too much attention to those discarded photos. Chu Ran quickly walked to a row of cabinets by the wall, opened one of the cabinet doors, and took out another plate of developer. The photos inside were those taken by Chen Yuzhi.
She carefully put the developing solution on the table, picked up the photo with tweezers and checked it. The image on the photo gradually appeared, and there was indeed Jiang Shengnan's figure on it, but it was only from the side, including the other few photos that did not capture her front.
Chen Yuzhi leaned over to take a closer look, a little annoyed: "It's not the front, I can't see the face clearly."
Jiang Yuelou also took the photo and examined it carefully, with a strange expression on his face. He always felt that he had seen this person somewhere, but he couldn't remember.
"There is another clue, the person who leaked the Jing'an Hotel."
Jiang Yuelou gave up on recalling, and went straight to Jin Dacheng to find out the situation, and learned that he and his subordinates had never left the hotel since they took over the Jing'an Hotel yesterday. Eating, sleeping, and even going to the toilet must be accompanied by someone, and there is no time to commit crimes.
Everyone fell into a deadlock for a while.
