Shen Hongyi looked at the Tissot quartz watch on his wrist. There was still some time before the next meeting. He decided to immediately go to Mayor Gao's house to investigate the scene. He only had his own car, driver and secretary, and forensic doctor Song.
Song Xinxin was sitting in the back seat, looking at the scenery outside the window in silence. Shen Hongyi asked: "How have you been recently?"
"It's okay. As for you, you are willing to leave your wife in Omi as a newlywed." Song Xinxin asked him in turn.
Shen Hongyi's marriage was kept secret, and the speed was lightning fast. Someone introduced him to a 28-year-old female doctor who was studying at Jiangsu University. She was not bad looking and had a small family background. The two got married in a flash. Not even a banquet was held.
Song Xinxin is a senior forensic expert and also studies some psychology in her spare time. She can guess the fundamental reason for Shen Hongyi's sudden marriage. It's okay for a bachelor to be a secretary, but it is inappropriate to be a local official. In ancient times, there was a saying about parents and officials. If If a man is not married at the age of thirty, he will leave an impression on the leader as unstable and immature. Of course, she will not say this.
"She has research projects and is busy." Shen Hongyi answered simply.
The two were silent again.
Pingchuan is a small urban area, and soon we arrived at Rose Garden, an affordable community in the western suburbs. The security level here has been much improved. Four security guards stood at the door, equipped with batons and helmets. When they saw the car with the municipal party committee license plate, they immediately stood at attention, saluted, and let it go.
Arriving in front of Villa No. 16, there was a cordon at the door, police and security guards were guarding the scene, and there was a faint shadow of someone rummaging through something in the house.
"From last night to this morning, you Pingchuan police officers tried their best to call my cell phone, threatening me with inducements and inducements, which made me dare not turn on my phone." Song Xinxin said with a smile.
"What are they looking for you for?" Shen Hongyi was a little angry, and the idea of moving Wei Jinfa became even stronger.
"Because I was the last person who spoke to Liu Handong. They found me through redialing on my mobile phone. Of course, they didn't know that I was from the Omi City Bureau, otherwise they might have sent someone to arrest me. Haha, I believe you. The county police could do this." Song Xinxin sneered, not giving Shen Hongyi any face.
Shen Hongyi got out of the car and wanted to open the door for Song Xinxin, but was overtaken by his secretary. Although his secretary was young, he had eyes full of water. It was obvious that the female police officer had a close relationship with Secretary Shen and was not allowed to serve him carefully. With.
The two got out of the car, and the secretary stepped forward to negotiate. He said softly that "Secretary Shen is here." The police immediately stood at attention and saluted. The security guards were even more upright and did not dare to slack off.
Shen Hongyi took his secretary and Forensic Doctor Song into the villa and couldn't help but admire: "Our affordable housing standards in Pingchuan are relatively loose."
The secretary said: "This was a project that was started when Secretary Zhao was in office. It was originally a farmhouse, villa, and hotel. Later, when the policy did not allow it, it was launched in the name of affordable housing. It was said that it was to improve the quality of life for cadres at the deputy director level or above in the city. Living Standards.”
Shen Hongyi waved his hand. He was not interested in pursuing anything on this issue. The most important thing right now was to find evidence of Gao Ao's crime.
There were several policemen in the room, wearing shoe covers and film gloves, holding small pliers, chisels and other tools, slowly searching for something in the cracks in the floor. When they saw Secretary Shen suddenly arriving, they were all a little overwhelmed. Shen Hongyi waved his hand: "You continue, I will take Director Song from the province to inspect the scene."
A clever policeman immediately ran out and called Wei Jinfa.
Wei Jinfa realized something was wrong and quickly reported to Mayor Gao.
Mayor Gao immediately drove back. The air-conditioning in the private car was fully turned on, but his back was wet.
In the villa, Song Xinxin went directly to the second floor, came to the door of a bedroom, and tried to push the door in, but the door was locked.
There was a sound of pedaling, and a young policeman came up and politely dissuaded him: "This is Mayor Gao's dormitory, and it has nothing to do with the case."
Song Xinxin said: "There is no question of whose bedroom it is. This is the crime scene. I suspect there are important clues here."
The young policeman blocked the door: "But... Mayor Gao has told me that no one is allowed in."
Song Xinxin showed her police officer ID: "I am Song Xinxin, deputy director of the Forensic Identification Center of the Omi Criminal Police Detachment. I want to inspect this bedroom now. If you insist on obstructing it, I suspect you are trying to cover up something."
"What's your name and which department you work in?" the secretary also asked.
The young policeman was a distant relative of Wei Jinfa and a loyal and loyal subordinate. However, faced with the pressure of the municipal Party committee secretary and senior police officers of the provincial capital, the natural fear of leadership among people in the system came into play, and he retreated unconsciously.
But the door is locked. It is a very thick solid wood door, and it is probably difficult to kick open.
"Take out the keys," the secretary shouted.
"The key is with Mayor Gao. This door has always been locked. The criminal has never entered. There is really no need to check." The young policeman spread his hands and expressed his helplessness, but there was a sly light in his eyes.
Song Xinxin sneered, took out a credit card from her wallet, stuffed it into the crack of the door, and said goodbye, and the door opened.
The three people walked in, and Song Xinxin looked around. There was a Monet landscape oil painting on the wall. Although it was a replica, the painting was very detailed and the frame was exquisite.
Song Xinxin took off the picture frame, took out a black TF memory card stuck on the back, put the picture frame down, groped on the wall, pressed the switch, and the wall opened, revealing the safe inside.
"This is a gift someone gave you." Song Xinxin smiled and made an inviting gesture to Shen Hongyi.
Shen Hongyi was stunned. He immediately realized that what was hidden here was the evidence of Gaoxian County's murder, a large number of US dollar and Euro securities, and maybe foreign passports.
"If you hadn't told me earlier, I would have brought the Discipline Inspection Commission here." Shen Hongyi said with a bitter smile.
"It's too late to call now, just call. By the way, call a locksmith. I can't open this kind of safe."
Shen Hongyi signaled to his secretary: "Contact Secretary Liang of the Discipline Inspection Commission."
Suddenly there was a sound on the stairs, and Gao Xianxian and Wei Jinfa rushed up. Mayor Gao blushed and said, "Secretary Shen, what do you mean? Have you gone through the organizational procedures to search my bedroom?"
Song Xinxin showed the TF card in her hand and said: "I am the person who spoke to Liu Handong last night. Let me introduce myself as Omi Criminal Police Detachment Forensic Officer, Song Xinxin. This memory card was placed here by Liu Handong. It is said that there is something in the safe."
Hundreds of thousands of dollars, Mayor Gao, can you open it and let me see it?"
Gao Xianxian was very angry: "Criminals are spouting blood, can you believe it? Old Wei, please accept the evidence and give Director Song a receipt."
Wei Jinjin stepped forward and stretched out his hand. Song Xinxin put the card away: "I'm sorry, I don't believe you Pingchuan police. I'll take the card back for investigation."
Director Wei's fierce light appeared, but it only flashed past. They didn't have the courage.
Mayor Gao was furious, but he soon realized that he was finished. He wiped away cold sweat and said with a sad expression: "Secretary Shen, I admit that there is some family property in the safe, but I think The party spirit guarantees that there will be no corruption or bribery, and all the money was obtained legally by my wife from investing in real estate."
Shen Hongyi kept smiling from beginning to end. He looked down at Mayor Gao with the reserve of a winner and said: "Comrade Xianxian, I am here for investigation today, not to investigate corruption. If it is against you, I will bring the Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission with you." Came with the locksmith."
After saying that, he glanced at Song Xinxin: "Director Song, let's go."
Song Xinxin was extremely smart. Since Shen Hongyi was not willing to investigate, she was too lazy to meddle in this matter. She followed Shen Hongyi downstairs, got in the car and left.
The TF card was loaded into the mobile phone and the video file was opened. The arrogant screams echoed in Secretary Shen's car. Shen Hongyi frowned: "Extorting a confession through torture cannot be used as evidence."
"The real evidence is here." Song Xinxin twisted a few black hairs around her fingers, "If the proud DNA comparison is successful, it will be ironclad proof."
Shen Hongyi was still a little confused, but didn't say anything.
Back at the municipal party committee, Song Xinxin borrowed a computer to copy and forward the video files. There was no one in the office, so she asked Shen Hongyi: "Why don't you open the safe?"
Shen Hongyi said: "It is not yet the time to take down Gao Xianxian. If I fired the mayor on the first day I took office, it would make the provincial leaders think that I am too good at internal struggles and cannot unite. If the superiors want to take down him, , this time he and Zhao Mocheng were dismissed from office, which shows that Secretary Xu still has hope for Gao, and I can't disrupt the leadership's deployment."
Song Xinxin said: "You are indeed not suitable to be a police officer. You are destined to dominate the officialdom."
Shen Hongyi smiled implicitly: "Where do you live? I'll let the secretary arrange it, and we can have dinner together in the evening."
Song Xinxin stood up: "Don't bother me. I asked for leave. By the way, you take care of Liu Handong and don't let him suffer too much."
"I will arrange it." Shen Hongyi also stood up, walked to the door, and arranged for a driver to take Song Xinxin back to the provincial capital, especially telling him to pay attention to safety.
"No, I'll take a lift back from the anti-narcotics brigade." Song Xinxin declined politely, and then said, "Are you afraid that someone will kill me and silence me? Don't worry, the anti-narcotics police came with submachine guns." She smiled and left calmly. .
Shen Hongyi felt a little disappointed, and returned to his desk to think about it. He was considering the replacement of Wei Jinfa. He didn't have a suitable person, so he could only choose from the existing personnel of the Pingchuan City Bureau. After much deliberation, there was a person who was more suitable. This man's name is Xu Gongtie. He is a criminal police officer. He is older than Wei Jin and has stronger professional capabilities, but he has been stuck in the position of deputy director.
"Contact Xu Gongtie and I'll see him tonight." Shen Hongyi arranged for his secretary.
Xu Gongtie is the deputy director of the Pingchuan City Public Security Bureau, but he has no power at all. The Public Security Bureau has been turned into a monopoly by Wei Jinfa, and the people running around are a bunch of sycophants. The truly capable police officers are suppressed and cannot be promoted. and reuse.
Deputy Director Xu has nothing to do at work every day except for meetings, reading newspapers, and drinking tea. He found an excuse to go home early, cooked himself, patted cucumbers, mixed them up, and took a basin of water from the pot. Boil peanuts and edamame, and then get two bottles of cold beer from the refrigerator. This is called moisturizing.
When my wife got off work and saw him pouring himself a drink, she couldn't help complaining: "You know how to drink, but you can't even manage your child to go to a key school. You can just kill him with a piece of tofu, and you have no future at all."
"You can't say that, I'm at ease at least." Xu Gongtie defended in vain. He knew that his wife was very resentful, not only because of his hopeless career, but also because he couldn't even pay the public food. Follow the path downhill.
"Shit, you, the deputy director, are not as effective as the section chief below. I will be unlucky for the rest of my life to marry you," the wife said with disdain.
Suddenly the phone at home rang. My wife went over to answer it and said, "It's yours." Then she put down the phone and went to cook.
Xu Gongtie turned off his cell phone when he got home, and the work basically didn't look for him. He couldn't think of who made the call for a while, so he walked over slowly, picked up the phone, and coughed dryly: "Hey, where are you?"
"Director Xu, I am Xiao Li, Secretary Shen's secretary. Secretary Shen wants to talk to you. Do you have time now?"
"Which Secretary Shen?" Xu Gongtie's mind hadn't figured it out yet.
"It's Comrade Shen Hongyi, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, who wants to talk to you about work matters. Do you have time now?"
"Yes, yes, yes, yes, if you have time, I'll be there soon!" Xu Gongtie threw away the phone and ran away. When he got to the door, he realized that he was only wearing a vest and big pants. He hurried back to the house to change clothes. The police uniform was not ironed. , put on casual clothes first, trousers, short-sleeved shirt, and if the socks are not clean, just wear leather shoes barefoot, tie the belt randomly, pick up the mobile phone and go out.
"You are seeking death!" My wife came over with a spatula and yelled.
"I have to go out for something. I won't be back for dinner." Xu Gongtie ran away in a hurry.
In the evening, traffic in Pingchuan was as congested as in the provincial capital. Xu Gongtie rode his bicycle to the New District Municipal Party Committee building in a hurry. The guard almost didn't let him in. He showed his identity before entering. He went upstairs to talk to his secretary. Soon Shen Hongyi Received him.
Secretary Shen got straight to the point and asked: "Director Xu, how is your health?"
"I keep exercising every day and keep up well. I can drink well. Two pounds of white wine can't stop me." Xu Gongtie vowed, and he had vaguely realized that his spring was coming.
"Very good. The organization has decided to put an extra burden on you. I would like to ask for your opinion first." Shen Hongyi was quite direct.
Xu Gongtie felt a rush of blood surge to the top of his head, and his eyes instantly became moist. Secretary Shen and he were strangers to each other. They only nodded and said hello when they met at the meeting. Yet he could trust him so much. A scholar will die for his confidant. What more can be said!
"Report to Secretary Shen that I will resolutely obey the organization's arrangements. I will fight wherever the organization directs me, without saying a word!" Xu Gongtie slapped his chest loudly, showing his boundless heroic spirit.
