I hurriedly said: "I'm just talking casually, it's my personal and superficial thoughts."
The deputy captain sighed and said: "Mayor Feng, don't be the executive deputy mayor, just go directly to the Provincial Public Security Department and be our deputy director of operations. I'm sorry, I didn't report all the situations to you just now.
This is our internal rule, please forgive me. Mayor Feng, the situation we analyzed is similar to what you just said. Now Director Lu has assigned manpower to investigate separately. And the forensic doctor did find some skin from the nails of the deceased.
Tissue-like things, this is likely to provide us with very important evidence to catch the murderer and confirm the murderer."
I was very happy because it showed that my ability to analyze problems was improving. However, I said humbly: "I am just analyzing based on common sense. It is understandable that you keep part of the case secret from me.
there is nothing."
The deputy captain smiled and said: "Mayor Feng, thank you for coming to visit us. Today's breakfast is the most enjoyable one I have ever had in my life. I think this case is not complicated, and the murderer should be caught soon."
"
I couldn't help but thank him, and then asked Director Lu: "Who is that coal mine owner? His coal mine must be illegal, right?"
Director Lu was embarrassed, "Mayor Feng, this matter..."
I seemed to understand, "What's so hard to say? Things have already happened. Can such a thing be kept secret?"
Then he said: "He is Secretary Liu's brother-in-law."
It suddenly dawned on me: Tell me, why did Secretary Liu not want to come here with me this morning? Moreover, he also said that he had not slept all night. It turned out to be because of this.
Maybe when we were together last night, he didn't realize that the deceased was going to his brother-in-law's banquet, so he didn't avoid it at that time.
I said, "Secretary Liu is Secretary Liu. What does his brother-in-law's affairs have to do with him?"
In fact, I was thinking: This matter must be reported to Secretary Chen as soon as possible. After all, an important leader in the city is involved, and he must be responsible for future events.
…
After breakfast, I went to shake hands with three people from the provincial department and once again thanked them for their support of the public security work in Shangjiang City. When I finally went to shake hands with Fang Qiang, he said to me: "Mayor Feng, I want to talk to you alone.
Say a few words. Can you?"
I nodded, "Well, let's go outside the hotel, or you can follow me to my office."
He immediately said to his deputy captain: "Mayor Feng and I are old acquaintances. I want to go and sit in his office. Is that okay?"
The vice-captain nodded in agreement.
Then Fang Qiang and I took a car to my office. Secretary Xiao Xu immediately made Fang Qiang a cup of tea. I took out a pack of cigarettes from the drawer and put it on the coffee table in front of Fang Qiang, "You know
Yes, I don’t smoke. You can do whatever you want.”
Fang Qiang said to me enviously: "Mayor Feng, you have changed so much. You have become the deputy mayor in just a few years. I am still treading water."
I smiled and said to him: "Don't call me my job title from now on. Just call me Dr. Feng in private. Or you can call me Brother Feng. We are old friends. There is no need to be so polite to each other."
He nodded, "Okay. Brother Feng, I took the initiative to come to your Shangjiang City to handle the case this time, because I want to take this opportunity to talk to you."
I roughly understood in my heart what he was going to talk to me about, but he said: "You can come to me anytime you want? Why do you have to go through this case before you come to me? If this case doesn't
If that happens, are you going to never come to me again?"
He nodded and said: "Maybe. I think some things can be resolved through time, but I just have such an opportunity this time, so I think I'd better take this opportunity to come to you."
I asked him: "Are you here because of what happened with Tong Yao last time?"
He nodded, "Tong Yao has always felt guilty. Brother Feng, you know her. She actually has the temper of a boy. She has always been careless in talking and doing things. She has been in a bad mood since she left the police force.
, and you have always taken good care of her, so she treats you like a buddy. She didn't expect what happened last time, but she was doing it for your own good and to care for you. Because you have been with me all these years.
Your development has been going very well, and she has always been happy for you in her heart, so she doesn’t want you to make mistakes and ruin your future for anything. Brother Feng, she cried in front of me several times after your father’s incident happened.
, because she is really guilty in her heart. Brother Feng, can you really never forgive her from now on?"
I shook my head and sighed at the same time: "Actually, I know that she can't be completely blamed for that incident. It was my father who couldn't bear the pain. I also know that Tong Yao did it for my own good at that time. But after all, my father left that day.
, I really can’t accept that kind of reality emotionally. Fang Qiang, to tell you the truth, I have always been grateful to Tong Yao in my heart, and I also pursued her but was rejected by her in the end, because in her heart
The real person is you. But I don't blame her for this, on the contrary, I completely respect her choice."
He nodded, "I know. She told me everything."
I was startled and then panicked: Did Tong Yao really tell him everything about her and me? No, it’s impossible. She is a woman, and it’s impossible for her and me to be together in Chengdu and Tibet.
Tell your boyfriend what happened, unless she is a fool.
Thinking of this, I immediately felt relieved, and I also found that the look on Fang Qiang's face was normal, and he was smiling. I then said: "Maybe it's because I feel inferior in my heart, because Tong Yao has always been in front of me.
She always talks to me in that kind of lecturing tone. Maybe in her eyes I am a very unbearable person, and now that I have made some progress in my career, I am particularly disgusted with her using such words again.
way to treat me. Fang Qiang, what I said is the truest thought in my heart. My father's matter...that, that may be just a reason. I know what I think in my heart, and
I know I shouldn't think that way, but I just can't forgive her." At this point, I couldn't help but smile bitterly, and then continued: "I can't stop myself from thinking that way."
He opened the cigarette case, took out one and lit it, and then said to me: "Brother Feng, I am very grateful to you for saying these words in front of me. I know that it is impossible for ordinary people to express their inner feelings like this."
I expressed my thoughts. Brother Feng, this shows that you are a real person, and it also shows that you have a real friendship with me and Tong Yao. I am very grateful to you, and at the same time thank you for Tong Yao. She is that kind of person,
You know, she once severed ties with me because of a case many years ago, and she is still the same arrogant boss in front of me now, haha!" A bitter smile appeared on his face, "But I just like it.
She behaves like that in front of me. Otherwise, she wouldn't be Tong Yao. You think so?"
I immediately laughed and said, "It seems so."
He suddenly became happy, "Brother Feng, actually you are not really angry with her, are you?"
I was startled for a moment, then nodded and said: "Maybe. It's just that I didn't think about it for a while before. When I heard what you said just now, I felt that what you said made sense. Haha! That's true, if she
If she didn't speak in front of me like that, she wouldn't be Tong Yao. Fang Qiang, everything has passed, and now it seems that I am too small-minded. Tong Yao may have a boyish personality, but she is a woman after all. What do you think of me?
Why bother with her?"
He immediately grinned, "Brother Feng, that's great. I think Tong Yao will be very happy to know that you are no longer angry with her."
I hurriedly said: "It's my fault. I'll invite you to have a drink with her sometime. I apologize to her."
But he shook his head and said: "Brother Feng, if you want to apologize, it should be her. In fact, there is no right or wrong between friends. Teeth and tongues can fight, let alone between friends?"
I nodded and said: "Yeah. But I have too many things to do recently. Let's wait for a while. Our Shangjiang City Party Committee Secretary and Mayor are not at home recently. I have to be in charge of so many departments by myself, and I really can't take the time.
Time has passed. Now such a case has happened again. This case may be a single incident, but it may have a huge impact on the entire situation in Shangjiang City. Haha! There are some things that I can’t talk too much about, but
I’ve really been too busy recently. I’ll come back and treat you to dinner another day after I’ve been busy for a while. Okay?”
He smiled and said: "Okay. I know you are very busy. Brother Feng, I really found that you have strong logical reasoning ability. Why didn't I notice it before?"
I smiled bitterly and said: "What kind of ability is this? Maybe it's because I'm in a different perspective now, so the way I analyze problems is different from before. Fang Qiang, do you think this case will be solved really quickly?"
Can it be broken?"
He nodded, "Your analysis this morning is very reasonable. In fact, last night we basically determined the nature of the case. We think it was a murder of love."
I looked at him in shock, "Killed by love? Is there any evidence?"
He shook his head, "According to the current investigation of your city's Public Security Bureau, the deceased kept a very low profile in the local area and never played cards or gambled with local people. However, we have already learned one thing: the relationship between the deceased and one of his female subordinates.
It's rather ambiguous. Last night, people from your city's public security bureau went to the woman's home and found that the woman was at home, but her man was missing. It is estimated that her man is probably the murderer, and he may have gone into hiding.
Woke up."
I suddenly became worried, "If a living person is really hiding, it will be very troublesome to find him. Besides, you still have no evidence to prove that he is the murderer."
He nodded, "That's why our captain had to keep it a secret from you this morning. Early this morning we had arranged for people to secretly release the news among the people here, saying that the deceased was killed in revenge by the underworld here. At the same time, today's Jiangnan Morning News
The evening newspapers and newspapers later in the day will also report this matter with such content. We think that if the murderer hears or sees such news, he will go home quickly."
I said: "But since he has disappeared, it is hard to say whether he might hide in the mountains. Where can I find newspapers in this mountain? It is also difficult to hear news about this matter in the city. And if he leaves
If the time is too long, it will arouse suspicion. He should not be a fool and should have thought of this."
He nodded and said: "The situation you mentioned is of course possible. We have investigated all of this person's social relationships, including his relatives in the countryside, and also contacted the local police station. However, this person has a formal job
, and his child has just turned one year old. So we analyze that this person may have a fluke mentality. Maybe he is hiding in a corner of the city and has not gone far. Let’s see, if he really has a fluke mentality
Then he should go home within today. Because as you said, he is also worried that he will arouse suspicion if he runs away. After all, things are different now. If a wanted order is issued, it will not be a problem for him to hide.
So easy. He should have thought of this."
I nodded, "Your level of solving crimes is getting better and better. By the way, Fang Qiang, why is there still no explanation for Tong Yangxi's case? You once suspected that Shangguanqin did it, but there is still no evidence until now.
? Is that case really that complicated?”
He sighed and said: "Some cases are actually very simple, but the things behind the case are too complicated."
I was suddenly startled, "What do you mean by that?"
He seemed to have just woken up, and his behavior at this time made me immediately feel that what he just said was a gaffe. He immediately said: "I was just talking casually. The reason why Tong Yangxi's case has not been solved so far
The reason is that we still can't explain why Sun Lulu thought Tong Yangxi was a thief and accidentally killed him. Moreover, Sun Lulu is dead now, and all the clues have been completely cut off."
I reminded him: "I remember I once told Tong Yao that maybe Sun Lulu was hypnotized. At that time, I also told Tong Yao that as long as we could find a hypnotist to hypnotize Sun Lulu once, maybe she could be hypnotized.
What was found in the memory? I don’t know if Tong Yao has told you about this."
He nodded, "Tong Yao told me about your idea. We did find a hypnotist later, but we got nothing. On the contrary, it caused Sun Lulu to escape from prison a few days later, and she was beaten to death like that.
.”
I asked him: "Were you present during the hypnosis?"
He shook his head, "I'm not present, but someone from our criminal police team is. It's Captain Jiang who is here today. Brother Feng, why don't you doubt him? He is a very famous criminal investigation expert in our criminal police team, regardless of his character.
His investigative skills are also very good."
I shook my head, "Maybe I'm overthinking. But in today's society, I feel that many people are untrustworthy except for myself, because there are too many temptations in this society. For example, this person from Shangjiang City
Director of Forestry, if he hadn't done something like this, who would have thought that such a low-key person would accept bribes and have an affair with his female subordinate? Isn't it said in Bai Juyi's poem? Duke Zhou is afraid of the day of rumors, and Wang Mang is humble.
Before the usurpation, Xiangshi died at the beginning, who knows the authenticity of his life? When Zhou Gong assisted the king, he would also feel fear when there were rumors that he had a conspiracy to usurp the throne. And when Wang Mang assisted Emperor Ping of the Western Han Dynasty,
Before usurping the Han Dynasty, they were courteous and honest, and courteous to virtuous officials. If Zhou Gong and Wang Mang died before everyone knew the truth, then no one would know their true character in life. The ancients were still like this, let alone today
What about this modern society that is full of temptations?”
He said: "Brother Feng, maybe what you said is right. But our police must have evidence when handling cases, not to mention that it is impossible for me to doubt someone I respect so much. Brother Feng, in fact, if I really want to doubt
You should also be the subject of suspicion. Didn't you send Sun Lulu home that night? But we won't believe that you did it, because you didn't have to do that, and you didn't have the courage.
.Of course, from an emotional point of view, we don’t want to doubt you. You should understand the truth of this, don’t you think?” (To be continued)
