Double case in parallel.
When Mingshu and Xiao Yuan went to Luocheng to trace the clues of the tomb, the special action team of the Ministry of Public Security intervened in the investigation of the tragic death of Li Guozhong and Li Liangyou in Xiaben Village, Yuanhai County.
Initially, the police in Yuanhai County and Hailu City were reluctant to hand over the leadership of the investigation to the special action team, but only wanted the special action team to exercise the functions of supervision and guidance, on the grounds that the special action team came from afar and did not understand the local customs and conditions. , direct handling of the case may encounter many difficulties.
Shen Xun - the person in charge of the special action team - smiled decently, but didn't give any face when he said, "You know the customs of Xiaben Village, and you will not encounter difficulties in handling the case, but why the case of the Li family and his son has passed by now. Twelve years later, you still haven't brought the murderer to justice?"
The local police have never had contact with the elites of the special operations team. They were all young people, and the principals were only in their thirties. They thought that the confusion was over, but they hit a hard nail directly. Disordered.
Shen Xun's attitude was very tough. The day after he arrived at Xiaben Village, he led the team to investigate.
The special action team has a special status and has the right to act and make decisions that the local police cannot reach. When Mingshu traveled with the special action team to investigate cases across the country, he often shouted happily. Before returning to Dongye City, he specially told Shen Xun to let the other party always Thinking of myself, I let myself go back to the special operations team every year for the unfettered addiction of off-site investigation.
Shen Xun joked with him at that time, saying that it's not impossible, but he can't bully the younger team members as soon as he arrives in the special operations team.
Thinking of him being honest and upright, how could he bully the little team members? After pondering for a long time, I remembered that what Shen Xun said should be the time when he was drunk with the other team members.
As soon as Shen Xun made a decision, Yuanhai County Public Security was not only unable to participate in the investigation, but also accepted the investigation of malfeasance.
As Mingshu expected, the case of the Li family's father and son is not difficult to solve.
The most important witness in the murder case, Li Liangyou's girlfriend at the time, Li Chunyan, is still unmarried, destitute, and takes care of her elderly parents alone. Shen Xun personally went to her house to visit her, and as soon as he entered the house, he heard a low cry.
Xiaben Village is no longer the backward fishing village that used to have no TV signal. Li Chunyan has learned from the media that Li Hongmei committed crimes to expose the truth. She feels guilty all day long and washes her face in tears.
"In the past 12 years, I haven't had a day without repenting to my good friend, but at that time, I really had no choice."
Li Chunyan's face is old, and she is no longer the bright and beautiful that young guys chased after more than ten years ago. Her withered hair covers half of her face.
"You are from the big city, you don't understand, the village chief in a place like ours is the emperor of the old times. Li Shuxian is the son of the village chief, that is the prince. Abo was beaten to death. Li Shuxian threatened me, saying that if I did not testify against him, my father and brother would also be beaten to death, and I would also be raped by them in turn…”
In the back room, the old man's repressed lament came.
"Li Shuxian asked me - 'Do you believe that I can cover the sky with one hand'?" Li Chunyan raised her hand to wipe away her tears, but new tears came out, "he said, in Xiaben Village, he and his father are Wang Fa, he If he has the ability to kill Liangyou and Abo, he has the ability to kill my whole family. He also said that his family is also related to the county, and the county has to give his father a face."
Speaking of this, Li Chunyan raised her face and looked out at the calm sea through the window, "You say, what is the difference between people like us and those stranded on the beach? My good friend and Abo are dead. Yu Li Shuxian, is there any other choice?"
Shen Xun said, "Now you have another choice."
Li Chunyan stood up slowly, trembling in the dim light, "My body has been crippled by Li Shuxian, he trampled me and forced me, I thought I would never see this villain pay the price in my life. Fortunately, fortunately, you are here. I I've been waiting for you for too many years."
Shen Xun sighed, "Sorry, we're late."
After layer-by-layer investigations, iron evidence that Xiaben Village and Yuanhai County Guanhei colluded surfaced. Li Shuxian's father, Li Yuge, who is currently working in Luhai City, is being investigated in isolation on suspicion of murder, taking bribes, abusing his power, and organizing a triad. Li Shuxian himself was also under control in Hailu City. The police who investigated the case of the father and son of the Li family admitted that the clues at the scene were clear and that the perpetrator was the thug Li Shuxian found.
As the investigation progressed, villagers from Xiaben Village came forward one after another to point out the crimes of Li Shuxian and Li Yuge. The shady scene that had been accumulated in Yuanhai County for more than ten years was drawn out bit by bit due to the murder case in college dormitories in Dongye City, and was exposed in the in the public eye.
The special action team still has to stay in Yuanhai County for a while. Shen Xun meant that since he came, he couldn't let go of any filth, and he wanted to wipe out the darkness in Yuanhai County and even Hailu City.
"Also, the filth in small places is the most annoying, and it's time to clear it up." Xiao Yu'an stood by the window holding his mobile phone, and the golden light of the sun fell on the branches outside the window and on him, "If you find out The truth about Li Hongmei's family will go away, and I won't be happy if there is a guy with a strong sense of responsibility on my side."
"Excuse me." Shen Xun laughed softly, "Tell him that Xiaben Village and Yuanhai County are wrapped around me. If he really wants to come, that's fine. The door of the special operations team is open to him at any time."
"I'm afraid it won't work now." Xiao Yuan also laughed, his voice lower than Shen Xun's, "He still has an unsolved case."
"Ah—" Mingshu sneezed and said to himself, "Who is talking about me again?"
Xiao Yuan gave him a day off. He slept until more than 10 am, turned his head and saw that he was the only one left on the bed. He moved to the place where Xiao Yuan had been lying, and hugged Xiao Yuan's pillow and sniffed again, no matter whether it was the quilt or the pillow, there was no residual warmth.
This shows that Xiao Yuan got up very early.
He lay down for a while, put on pajamas, rubbed his hair all the way to the living room, then to the kitchen, and even called "brother" three times, but got no response.
He pouted and determined that Xiao Yuan had left him and went to the Criminal Investigation Bureau alone.
"It's like you don't need to rest." Mingshu murmured and walked to the bathroom to wash up, and before he finished washing his mouth, he heard a stomach growl.
"Hey, I'm hungry." He bit his toothbrush, looked at the sleepy face in the mirror, and suddenly remembered the "indecent photo" he took yesterday, he was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed to himself, using I don't know what tune, and hummed in a confused manner—
"Good thing, good thing, you're a good thing, okay good thing..."
After washing his face, he carefully shaved his beard, went to the kitchen and turned off the pigeon soup simmering on the stove, opened the lid and smelled, "Tsk, it's really fragrant."
My sister Xiao Jinlan has not been here recently, and there are no pigeons at home. These pigeons can only be bought by Xiao Yuan at the vegetable market early in the morning.
Mingshu licked his lips, swallowed his saliva, took out a bowl for eating, just wanted to scoop it, but found that it was not big enough, and it was too troublesome to fill it one by one. poured out.
It was only after it was poured that it became clear that there were actually two pigeons.
"Fuck me." Mingshu held the chopsticks, "Can I eat like this in your heart? Eat two at a time? Would you like to keep one for you?"
ten minutes later.
Mingshu finished eating the first one, looked at the second one in the big bowl, and his mind changed, "Hey, I forgot to take it out just now, it's already stained with my saliva, and the pigeons are best eaten when they are fresh. Well, the taste will change when you leave it at night, so let me eat it for you."
Another ten minutes passed.
Mingshu put the chopsticks in the big bowl with only bones left, and slumped on the seat to rub his stomach.
"belch-"
"I can eat too much."
"You really know me."
After 12 o'clock, Mingshu had already cleaned up the kitchen and living room while humming a song, and washed the clothes that he and Xiao Yuan had changed.
Of all the housework, he is best at "washing", washing dishes, clothes, and fruit, not only fast, but also very clean.
The reason is not because he is hardworking, but because he can't cook.
Xiao Yuan contracted the family's meals, and he was willing to wash Xiao Yuan's clothes.
When he had finished drying the last piece of clothing, he lifted his trousers and found that the hems were slipping to the seam.
These trousers were bought online. When I unpacked them, I found that they didn't fit well. The size was too large, but I didn't bother to exchange them with the store for a few dozen dollars. . He was wearing nothing inside, hanging in the air, and when he turned his head, he squeezed out some "color waste".
"Brother, are you at the bureau?" He typed on WeChat, "Are you busy?"
Xiao Yuan responded quickly, "Are you up? Not busy now."
Mingshu: "Then I want to report something to you."
Xiao Yu'an: "Huh?"
Mingshu: "I picked up a pair of trousers and wore them when I woke up in the morning. It was too loose. It kept sliding down and almost slipped on my legs."
Xiao Yu'an: "Then what?"
Mingshu: "Are you really busy? Is there anyone else around?"
Xiao Yu'an: "No."
Mingshu: "Then shall I say it?"
Xiao Yu'an: "Okay."
It also comes with a smiley face that comes with the system.
Mingshu: "I was hooked by my powerful front, so I didn't slide down, hahaha!"
After a minute, no reply was received, Ming Shu was bored, first posted his big head emoji, and then typed: "It's still holding up now, brother, do you want to take a look?"
Xiao Yu'an was still ignorant.
Mingshu thought for a while, fuck, didn't something happen suddenly and was seen by others
Wait a minute, the phone is still silent.
Mingshu: "Xiao Bureau?"
Ming Shu: "Deputy Director Xiao?"
Xiao Yuan finally replied: "Good things are really powerful."
Mingshu breathed a sigh of relief, "What were you doing just now? Why didn't you get back to me?"
Xiao Yu'an: "I'm imagining the way my trousers slide down."
Mingshu: "…"
Mingshu: "Brother, you can't imagine such an unbeautiful picture!"
Xiao Yu'an: "What kind of picture do you want to imagine?"
Mingshu: "Of course it's the picture of my strong front hooking my pants!"
Xiao Yuan sent a voice directly this time.
When Mingshu heard it, it was actually laughter.
Deep, loving, with a bit of teasing laughter on the eardrums.
Mingshu didn't blush when he drank the pigeon soup that was just out of the pot, and he didn't blush when he was working and doing housework, but now he was flushed red by this burst of laughter.
He was already sitting on the carpet, but as soon as he lay down, he rolled on the carpet without any image, and he really rubbed his pants down.
Xiao Yu'an's message came again: "It's all the same."
Ming Shu was still immersed in the voice message just now, "Huh? Everything is the same?"
Xiao Yu'an: "Your trousers are dropped or not, and they are very beautiful in my place."
Mingshu raised his trousers for a while, his face burned even more, and he scolded in a low voice, "What is the Deputy Director Xiao, it's obviously Fox Xiao! Xiao hooligan!"
Finally put on the pants, Mingshu typed: "I'll be in the bureau right now."
Xiao Yu'an: "Have you had enough rest?"
Mingshu ran to the bedroom, "Eating two pigeons is not enough."
Xiao Yu'an didn't stop him, "Come on, then, drive safely."
Throwing the phone on the bed, Mingshu started rummaging through the closet for clothes.
Most of his clothes are in another house, but it's not that there are none here. After finding one set, he took a pause and took out a pair of Xiao Yu'an's underwear from the drawer.
"Fox Xiao, who told you to mess with me!"
In the afternoon, there were not many people in the Criminal Investigation Bureau, and half of them went out to work.
When Mingshu came to the serious crime team, he had already cleaned himself up to look like a human being, and even adjusted his expression. He was a capable and handsome criminal investigation elite, and he was different from the "good thing" that was sticky to Xiao Yu'an at home. people.
Yi Fei just hurried back from the technical investigation. Seeing him coming, his eyes lit up immediately, "Xiao Bureau gave you a holiday, and you came so early."
"Is it too early to come in the afternoon?" Mingshu laughed, "Luo Xiangfu's case has not been solved, and there is no way to relax during the holiday. And brother, don't pretend, your eyes have changed when you see me, but you miss me. right?"
Yi Fei approached and thumped him on the shoulder, "Isn't this nonsense, when did you leave, I didn't miss you? To tell you the truth, I was expecting you to come quickly this morning. He is looking forward to your apprentice, he said that Bureau Xiao has given you most of the day off to go to Los Angeles, and you may not come until the afternoon or evening."
Mingshu: "Tsk, how can I come at night, the case is on my head, I have to wait until night to come, my conscience should hurt."
"You still have a conscience." Yi Fei threw the report on the table, looked around, pulled Mingshu aside, and said in a low voice, "I have something to tell you."
Mingshu and Yi Fei have been partners for many years, and they can judge the severity of things just by looking at each other's expressions.
"Is it related to me and Bureau Xiao going to Los Angeles?" Mingshu asked.
Yi Fei nodded, "Team Tianliang came a day ago and was not satisfied that you and Bureau Xiao put down Luo Xiangfu's case and went after Luocheng. I think what he meant was that he had passed his anger with Bureau Li. I want to tell you, but I'm afraid it will affect your actions in Luocheng. Fortunately, you and the brother department in Luocheng have found evidence of the crime in the heart of the tomb.
"I guessed that Liang Zhao would have an idea, but Bureau Li..." Mingshu didn't finish his sentence, and changed his words: "Forget it, we don't know what Bureau Li means. Liang Zhao will say whatever he likes, and now the serious crime team has again I don't belong to Liang Zhao. Fang Yuanhang and I went to Los Angeles with the approval of Bureau Xiao, and Bureau Xiao must have discussed it with Bureau Li."
Yi Fei said, "That's true."
Mingshu asked, "I'm not here, has Liang Zhao embarrassed you?"
"No." Yi Fei leaned against Mingshu's table and sighed: "I'm a little convinced by this Xiao bureau now. It's really bold, has means, and is very decisive. You dare to let you go with clues like the heart of the tomb. Chase. There have been so many similar cases across the country, and he was the only one who gave so much support to his subordinates, and finally came out in person. If Team Liang is still in charge of our serious crime team, the cases of Lu Kun and Li Hongmei will definitely be closed directly. There's no way to find this clue."
There was a hint of pride in Mingshu's heart, but the expression on his face was still the same, "How to change the leaders at the top is a matter of the top, and it has nothing to do with us front-line criminal police, we just do our part. Leaders No matter who it is, the responsibility of our serious crime team is to solve the case."
Yi Fei laughed, "You really didn't stay in the Ministry of Public Security for nothing. Once you come back, not only are you mature, but your vision is different."
"Fuck me." Mingshu joked.
"Who is flattering you." Yi Fei said, "I really praise you, my good brother."
"Don't!" Mingshu rolled up the sleeves of his shirt and pointed to his arm, "See, goosebumps all over the place."
The two chatted for a while, and the topic naturally shifted to Luo Xiangfu.
Part of the police force of the serious crime team was transferred to Los Angeles, but this does not mean that the investigation of Luo Xiangfu's case has been temporarily put on hold.
Before Xiao Yuan went to Los Angeles, he set up two investigation lines for Yi Fei, one was to continue to dig deeper into Luo Xiangfu's social relationship, and the other was to investigate the backlog in the past three years.
Investigating the backlog is the most troublesome. Many clues were not found when the crime happened, and it was even more difficult to find later.
Yi Fei said at the time: "Actually, the Ming team and I have also considered starting with the backlog, but it is too difficult to filter, and it is likely to be useless."
"The criminal police need to be mentally prepared to do useless work." Xiao Yu'an said: "For the time being, let's investigate the backlog of the victim between the ages of 50 and 60."
Yi Fei was conscientious and conscientious, and really dug up a clue that no one knew before.
The vast majority of street photography enthusiasts will upload their photos of handsome men and beautiful women to social platforms or professional photography websites. Luo Xiangfu has registered accounts on four related websites, but has uploaded very few photos. He doesn't seem to know much about how to share his works with others on the Internet. He mostly saves them on his own computer. While retouching pictures, he enjoys them. He often sits alone in front of the computer until the middle of the night.
This is also one of the reasons why his wife Kang Yu is very disgusted with him.
But now, the serious crime team has found out that Luo Xiangfu sent the printed photos to a southwestern border town called "Snake Tu" by mail.
