On a snowy winter night, a single girl was murdered at about eight o'clock that night.
The police launched an in-depth investigation as soon as they arrived at the scene. They found that in the room at the scene, the gas stove was glowing red from the fire, and the room was so hot that I was sweating. The lights were still on, but only half of the closed windows were covered.
curtains.
At this time, a young man, a resident near the victim’s residence, provided the following witness evidence to the police:
At about 11 o'clock last night, I witnessed a murder. Although my room was 20 meters away from the scene, I found that the murderer was a man wearing black-rimmed glasses, about 1.8 meters tall, and he also had a beard.
Based on the clues he provided, the police arrested the deceased's boyfriend because the appearance of the man described by witnesses was very similar to that of the deceased's boyfriend.
In court, the suspect's lawyer defended him confidently and asked the witness: "Young man, you accidentally saw the murderer by the window at the time of the crime, right?"
"Yes, because the window opposite was transparent, and her curtains were half-closed that night, so I could clearly see the murderer's face from twenty meters away," the witness replied.
At this time, the lawyer said with certainty: "President, what this young man said is a lie, which means he has committed perjury. In my judgment, he is the most suspicious, because he took the victim to the hospital after committing the murder."
He opened the curtains at home and escaped. He also provided false statements to the police in an attempt to cover up his crimes."
As a result, after investigation, the lawyer's inference was proved to be correct. Mayor Feng, do you know how the lawyer inferred?
I started thinking.
Director Lu said: "Can you see this man's beard from twenty meters away? Can you see it so clearly with glasses?"
Captain Jiang said: "If you have good eyesight, it should be okay. And this witness's eyesight is exactly the type of person with the best eyesight."
A thought suddenly flashed in my mind, and I immediately asked Captain Jiang: "Did the case you just talked about happen in winter? And it was snowing?"
Captain Jiang was surprised, then smiled and nodded at me: "Yes. Mayor Feng, have you thought of the answer?"
I laughed and said, "There is a physical phenomenon involved. But the witness missed this point."
At this time, Fang Qiang said immediately: "I understand. Mayor Feng, your reaction is faster than that of a professional policeman like me. I'm ashamed."
Director Lu and the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee were looking at us inexplicably, "What's going on? Mayor Feng, please explain."
I smiled and said: "In winter, the high temperature inside the house will be in contrast with the cold outside, and the glass will fog up, so it is impossible to see clearly what is going on inside from the outside. In fact, this is Director Lu
The previous words reminded me."
The only woman present, Officer Su, was immediately surprised and said: "That's it. Why didn't I think of it at all?"
Captain Jiang said with a smile: "Logical reasoning requires a very strong ability to analyze problems, and in reality the cases we come into contact with are often much more complicated than the one just mentioned."
Then Captain Jiang talked about several cases he had handled. I felt one thing from the cases he told: criminal suspects are often discovered because they ignore certain details.
In fact, many things in the officialdom are like this. It is very likely that some details will determine the success or failure of a person's career. For example: the name of the leader, the technique of giving gifts, the priority of speech, the order of sorting, and trying to figure out the leader's intentions.
The details of what subordinates say, whether they are implicit or not, etc., are actually the survival rules of the officialdom, the political wisdom of the officialdom, and the breadth and depth of the officialdom.
The three criminal investigation experts from the provincial department went back just after eating, because Captain Jiang received a call saying that a murder had occurred in the provincial capital.
I really feel the hard work of the police.
I personally escorted them to the car. When I shook hands with Fang Qiang and said goodbye, I sincerely said to him: "Pay attention to safety, this is more important than anything else."
He held my hand tightly and said, "Thank you."
I know that the guilt I feel towards him will never be eliminated.
After returning to my residence, I took a shower and went to bed early. I suddenly felt really tired. In fact, if I just look at my work in the recent period, although there are many things, most of them are transactional.
Work is not the reason why I feel so tired.
I know that the fundamental reason why I feel tired is because I am waiting for the storm in Shangjiang City.
I will always remember the heavy rainstorm I once experienced. It was when I took a boat down the Yangtze River alone during the summer vacation of my junior year of college.
Although I was introverted at that time, I still had the passion to point out the world and promote writing. Most people in their youth may have that kind of passion. So I made an important decision at the beginning of my junior year:
Travel alone.
There were signs before the heavy rainstorm. In the early morning, as soon as the sun appeared, it was covered by black clouds. The weather was extremely hot and humid. The air was very humid. There was moisture everywhere: the walls of the cabins were returning to moisture; the mirror in the bathroom
I was covered with a layer of fine water drops; my clothes were wet all over my body, and I felt uncomfortable; when I looked towards the other side, due to poor visibility, the embankment seemed to be blurred in the mist; even the willow trees under the embankment were blurry.
It was so blurry that it turned into gray and black. I could only tell where the dividing line between the embankment and the river was from the faint reflection of the river.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the sky turned into a gray color, and there was a faint rumble of thunder in the distance. Although it was weak and dull, it was powerful. I felt the deck shaking, and there was a sound of metal being lightly hit.
There was such a sound. Before the heavy rain came, the river surface seemed extremely calm, the kind of calm that made people feel uneasy.
Half an hour later, after a thunder boom, the sky suddenly turned pitch black. Then I saw blazing blue lightning appearing in the distance. I couldn't see the faces of the other passengers on the same boat, but I could hear them.
There was also a kind of uneasiness in their words.
Heavy rain, heavy rain, heavy rain, extremely heavy rain. Almost all the rain fell in that afternoon. I have never experienced such a fierce rainstorm. It also carried hail and smashed on the deck. The northwest wind also fell when the heavy rain fell.
Suddenly, it swept across the sky, blew across the embankment, across the river beach, and onto the river surface. The hurricane blew a sharp whistle on both sides of the ship, and the ship was shaking violently. The cables creaked in the wind and rain.
The ground made a loud noise. The soaked flag on the mast no longer hung down due to the strong wind, but was raised against the wind, making the sound of the cloth being pulled out.
Almost all the winds were blowing that afternoon. This was the first time I encountered such a storm. When the heavy rain fell from the sky, its intensity was frightening. In my field of vision, the dense rain was like a hurricane.
Gathered into one, there is no gap where there is a trace of rain. It is no longer the raindrops or rain lines we usually see. It is like the steam ejected from an industrial boiler, but the color is slightly yellow, and it is madly washing between the sky and the earth.
The ship was docked at the pier and did not dare to move forward. The iron chain holding the ship was also making a metallic sound.
During the most intense period of the storm, I couldn't see anything outside the porthole five meters away, but I could still tell that the crisp and dull roars came from the pier, where trees were being destroyed.
The sound of the wind breaking and then crashing to the ground again.
When the rain stopped, the wind had subsided, but was still blowing gently. The wind direction had turned to the southwest, and the sky gradually became brighter. The streets outside the flood control wall were filled with water, and there were broken tree branches or trees everywhere.
There were large uprooted trees, one of which hit the roof of a car on the roadside; there were also flower pots scraped off balconies, business billboards falling from high places, and pergolas torn off the roofs; there were also some motorcycles.
Cars were blown to the side of the road by strong winds, and they all fell in the direction of the wind.
The willow trees above the pier and in the riverside park below the embankment also fell in this sudden heavy rain. Some of them were blown down, some were uprooted, and some were stripped of their crowns by the hurricane.
Only the trunk and a few branches are left bare...
And the current Shangjiang City seems to be the prelude to that rainstorm, calm, dull, and making people feel uneasy. So, will the next rainstorm really be as violent as the rainstorm I once experienced? Some people
Will they be uprooted like the trees I once saw? (To be continued)
