There is a police station on Shushi Road in Huancheng. The director is named Matthew. In one month, he will retire.
His only hobby is playing the erhu in the vegetable patch in front of his home.
The vegetable patch in front of the door is evergreen all year round. Leeks are planted in spring, cucumbers are planted in summer, spinach is planted in autumn, and Chinese cabbage is planted in winter.
On October 31, 2001, at 7:58 in the morning, this man who had just finished playing the erhu in the cabbage field, this policeman who was about to retire in a month, rode his bicycle to work. He had just walked to the workplace and the duty room.
Three colleagues there stopped him and said someone had given him a big cake.
Director Ma felt confused: "Today is not my birthday. Who gave it to me?"
A colleague said: "He is a young man wearing a peaked cap."
Director Ma asked: "Did he say his name?"
The colleague replied: "Fly high."
Director Ma touched his scalp: "I don't know him."
Director Ma opened the box, and there was a loud "boom" - the cake exploded. Thick smoke rose into the sky along with the fire, bricks and stones flew randomly, and the powerful shock wave shattered the glass of nearby houses. After the dust settled, the police station
The duty room was reduced to rubble. Director Ma and two policemen died on the spot, and another was seriously injured.
At 1:30 noon, the major case headquarters held a case analysis meeting. Bai Jingyu personally presided over it. Zhou Xingxing, Hua Long, and Han Bingyu all made speeches. A female operator knocked on the door and walked into the conference room.
Bai Jingyu told her that they were in a meeting, and we would talk about anything later.
Female operator: "There's a strange call coming from someone. You'd better answer it."
Bai Jingyu: "Why is it strange?"
Female operator: "Aren't we offering a reward for Gao Fei?"
Bai Jingyu said: "Yes."
Female operator: "That person said he is Goofy!"
Bai Jingyu rushed out of the conference room as quickly as possible, picked up the phone, Zhou Xingxing, Hualong, and Han Bingyu followed, standing nearby and listening.
Bai Jingyu: "Hey, please tell me, I am Bai Jingyu, the commander-in-chief of major cases."
Gao Fei: "I am Gao Fei, bang, you all heard it, the sound of setting off firecrackers."
Bai Jingyu: "Asshole, you are too arrogant!"
Gao Fei: "How about we negotiate a deal?"
Bai Jingyu: "What deal?"
Gao Fei: "I placed another bomb in another place. There are at least hundreds of children in that place."
Bai Jingyu: "What exactly do you want to do?"
Gao Fei: "I want to exchange these one hundred children for two people."
Bai Jingyu: "Who?"
Gao Fei: "Sanwen Qian and Ma Youzhai, let them go."
Bai Jingyu: "They have been sentenced to death!"
Gao Fei: "Then only three pennies per person."
Bai Jingyu: "We will not bargain with you, let alone be threatened by you."
Gao Fei: "Well, you better think about it. You know, you only have thirty minutes. If you don't agree, the one hundred lively children will explode all over the sky. Think about it, you are really honored, one hundred children
It’s still a good deal to exchange one’s life for another person’s life…”
Bai Jingyu stopped talking and looked at Zhou Xingxing and the others. Zhou Xingxing took the phone and said firmly:
"We will escort Sanwen Qian and Ma Youzhai to the execution ground immediately for execution!"
There was silence on the other side of the phone, and then the call was hung up.
The atmosphere in the major case headquarters was solemn. Bai Jingyu walked around the room, thinking about something, and everyone looked at him. Finally, he picked up the walkie-talkie and issued an order:
"All police officers should immediately put down their work and be on standby. Police officers who are on vacation will be recalled immediately. I emphasize again that all police officers should be on standby, whether they are armed police, criminal police, traffic police, fire police, film police, forensics, etc.
The pre-trial personnel and the household registration management personnel all put down their work and gave in to the big case. This is not just a crime, this is a war."
Bai Jingyu: "The bomb disposal team is preparing immediately and will gather within five minutes."
Hua Long: "But we need to know where the bomb is?"
Bai Jingyu: "Where are there hundreds of children?"
Bai Jingyu: "Contact the education department immediately and provide a list of all schools and kindergartens in the city. All police officers will be dispatched to assist them in evacuating all students within thirty minutes and let the children go home for the holidays."
Han Bingyu: "We still have to investigate where that call came from."
Twenty minutes later, the police investigated and discovered that Gao Fei made the call from a canteen. The canteen is located in the urban-rural fringe area with a complex staff and high turnover. According to the canteen owner, the caller was a young man wearing a hat.
He left a note saying that someone would come to see him shortly.
Bai Jingyu picked up the note and found a line written on it: You are late!
At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, the bomb exploded. Although all police forces were deployed to evacuate the students, the police forgot about an orphanage. That orphanage was established with donations from the people of the city, and most of them were children of incarcerated people and street children.
All teachers are college students who volunteer to teach. Please remember the name of a teacher here: Qin Buhui. Teacher Qin received a notice from the education department and immediately asked all students to leave the classroom. Because those students were homeless, they gathered in the building
They were playing games on the grass, hoping that this was just a false alarm. There was a tin trash can next to the grass. The more Teacher Qin looked at it, the more suspicious she became. She found a bomb in the trash can. The respectable teacher rushed into the open space with the bomb in his arms.
The bomb exploded in the playground... Teacher Qin died on the spot. Except for two children who were slightly injured, the 113 orphans were all safe.
At 2:15 p.m., the phone of the major case headquarters rang again.
Gao Fei: "I'm very disappointed. I placed another bomb in another part of the city."
Bai Jingyu: "Don't even think about asking us to release Sanwen Qian and Ma Youzhai."
Gao Fei: "I've changed my mind now."
Bai Jingyu: "Do you want money?"
Gao Fei: "Let Zhou Xingxing answer the phone."
Zhou Xingxing took the phone and said: "Listen, I swear now, I swear to my dead mother, I will catch you with my own hands."
Gao Fei: "Hua Long and Han Bing Yu are here too. You and your two guys, the three of you, come and catch me."
Zhou Xingxing: "Okay, where did you say you are?"
Gao Fei: "Come on, under the rockery in People's Park."
Zhou Xingxing: "If I can't catch you, I will never be a police officer again!"
Gao Fei: "Remember, the three of you are stripped naked and can only wear a pair of underwear. You can't take a car and can only run here. And it can only be the three of you. If I find a fourth policeman under the rockery, I will
Just detonate the bomb. If I can’t see you three at 2:30, I will detonate the bomb.”
Zhou Xingxing: "Say it again, I didn't hear you clearly."
The phone hung up and made a beeping sound.
Zhou Xingxing, Hua Long and Han Bingyu looked at each other and began to take off their clothes. A female police officer asked Bai Jingyu why they had to go naked?
Zhou Xingxing took the words and replied: "To prevent us from bringing weapons."
Hualong also joked: "Unless we can hide the gun in our butthole."
Han Bingyu added: "Also, it will be easy to recognize us this way."
The three of them quickly took off their clothes, and Bai Jingyu looked solemn.
Hua Long said to Bai Jingyu: "Boss, do you have any instructions?"
Bai Jingyu said: "I have only one request. The three of you must come back to see me alive. No one less can do it."
Zhou Xingxing said: "It's a bit cold."
Han Bingyu said: "You will feel warm when you run."
Bai Jingyu began to deploy. He ordered all police officers to wear civilian clothes and strictly controlled the area around the People's Park. He arranged more than 80 police officers on the periphery and 20 police officers inside the park. He asked all plainclothes police officers to pay close attention to all suspicious persons.
.
Zhou Xingxing, Hua Long, and Han Bingyu ran out of the police station and ran through the bustling commercial intersection, which immediately caused a commotion. Three naked men ran naked together. What a strange sight it was. The pedestrians on the street opened their eyes in shock.
Mouthing and pointing, the three of them ran past a child. The child was so frightened that he cried loudly. The frightened mother tightened the child's hand and said to her husband: "It must have escaped over the fence." The husband nodded and said: "
I know, this is nothing, they will pee in the street or defecate in their pants. I think I should call your second uncle and ask them if anyone has escaped from the mental hospital."
Hua Long: "Actually, I've wanted to do this for a long time, running on the street without clothes."
Zhou Xingxing: "We just treat it as running a marathon."
Han Bingyu: "Marathon? Have you seen the looks in other people's eyes? Others look at us like we are three lunatics."
Ten minutes later, the three of them stood under the rockery in the park, exhausted and out of breath. The park is open to the public for free and there are many tourists. There is a small rockery on the open ground. There is a fountain made of a tap on the rockery, and water flows down.
A pond is formed with goldfish swimming around in it.
The three of them looked around and observed carefully. A young couple walked to the pavilion and sat down, a businessman stood on the roadside and made a loud phone call, a student was sitting next to the bamboo forest reading a book, and there was an old man doing Tai Chi on the lawn.
These are police officers in disguise.
Gao Fei won't come, he's not that stupid.
Then why does he want us to come here?
There is only one possibility: there is also a bomb in the park, and he wants to blow us up.
If you were Goofy, where would you place the bomb?
The three people's eyes scanned over and finally landed on the rockery behind them. This rockery was indeed the best place to place a bomb. Once detonated, stones would fly around, doubling the power. They jumped into the pond and saw a pile of stones on the rockery.
, Han Bingyu carefully moved away a few pieces, and suddenly found a time bomb inside.
Han Bingyu said: "You two run quickly, the farther you can run the better."
Hualong said: "What about you?"
Han Bingyu said: "I'll try to see if I can dismantle it."
Zhou Xingxing said: "I will accompany you."
Hualong said: "What will happen if this thing explodes?"
Han Bingyu said: "You will scatter all over the floor, and your nose will be twenty meters away from your toes."
Zhou Xingxing said to Hualong: "You are the father of a girl, you should leave here as soon as possible."
Hualong said: "I don't want my daughter to say that her father is a coward. When will this thing explode?"
Zhou Xingxing said: "2:30, because Gao Fei asked us to run here at 2:30."
The alarm clock showed 2:29, and the bomb was about to explode in one minute. It was too late for the innocent visitors in the park to retreat to safety within one minute.
The three of them lay on the ground, holding their breath, their hearts beating fast.
The bomb and the clock were tied together with tape and placed in an iron box. The smallest time bomb in the world is currently the size of a pea, and its power is enough to blow a person's head apart. There are two kilograms of explosives in the iron box.
Left and right, if it explodes, the entire rockery will be razed to the ground. The clock is connected to the explosives and the circuit board. The detonator cannot be seen. It should be hidden at the bottom. Only the red, yellow, and blue wires are exposed outside. Before the explosion time
There are only 30 seconds left, and the wires connected to the timer must be cut off quickly. But which of the three colored wires should be cut off? If you make a mistake and cause a circuit backflow, it will explode immediately.
Zhou Xingxing said: "Didn't you serve as a special soldier before?"
Han Bingyu was sweating profusely: "But I have never defused a bomb."
Time passed by second by second. Han Bingyu closed his eyes and pulled off the red wire. The clock stopped and the bomb was safe and unharmed and did not detonate.
Hualong said: "The special forces are really omnipotent. How do you know you should dismantle the red ones?"
Han Bingyu said: "I'm blind, I'm lucky."
The three of them breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, and came down from the rockery.
Hualong said: "You should buy lottery tickets today."
Zhou Xingxing said: "We have to get out of here quickly. I always feel something is wrong. My eyelids are twitching."
At this moment, Han Bingyu suddenly fell straight to the ground, and Hualong also screamed "ouch" and fell to the ground - two bullets were fired from a distance, and one bullet hit Hualong
’s shoulder, and another bullet hit Han Bingyu’s head.
This sudden change made Zhou Xingxing stunned. He looked back and saw that there was no one behind him. He looked around and saw that the park was surrounded by high-rise buildings. Every window and every roof might be a place for an ambush and shooting.
All the police in the park ran over, and the ambulance soon arrived. The scene was chaotic, and Hua Long was carried on a stretcher. One policeman picked up the warhead. The warhead was very pointed and slender in shape, suitable for long-range shooting; another policeman picked up the warhead.
A policeman checked Han Bingyu's injuries. The bullet entered from the forehead, penetrated the skull, and exited from the back of the head. Han Bingyu died on the spot.
"Hel him up." Zhou Xingxing said to the two policemen.
"He's dead," the two policemen said.
"I'll say it again, help him up." Zhou Xingxing raised his voice.
"Calm down and don't be too sad, ugh."
"You bastard, you bastard!" Zhou Xingxing yelled. The sadness and anger in his heart could no longer be suppressed, and tears burst out of his eyes.
At this time, Bai Jingyu also arrived at the scene. Han Bingyu was lying on the cold ground. Bai Jingyu only glanced at him and quickly turned his head to the side, unable to bear to look any further.
Zhou Xingxing said to Bai Jingyu: "I have a request."
Bai Jingyu said: "What request?"
Zhou Xingxing said: "I want to be the commander-in-chief and I want to catch them with my own hands."
Bai Jingyu said without hesitation: "Okay, I will be your assistant."
Zhou Xingxing said to the two policemen: "Hel Lao Han up."
A policeman muttered: "The man is dead, so what's the point of lifting him up."
The other policeman also spread his hands to express his helplessness.
Bai Jingyu said expressionlessly: "Both of you will have your annual bonus deducted and demerits recorded. If you disobey orders again, you will be suspended and investigated, no matter how big or small your official position is."
Obviously, this sentence worked.
The two policemen immediately helped Han Bingyu up. They held Han Bingyu up and did not dare to move.
Bai Jingyu said: "Should we wait for the trace forensic experts..."
Zhou Xingxing interrupted him: "No, I want to survey the scene alone."
Bai Jingyu: "There is currently no equipment to detect ballistic traces."
Zhou Xingxing: “Use local materials.”
Bai Jingyu said: "Now you are the commander-in-chief, I will listen to you."
Zhou Xingxing said: "Seal down the scene."
A cordon was immediately set up, and some onlookers were kept outside.
Zhou Xingxing said: "There is a bamboo forest at the pavilion over there. Who can find a straight bamboo?"
Soon, the bamboo was found.
Zhou Xingxing said: "Knife."
An armed policeman put a military dagger in his hand.
Zhou Xingxing used a dagger to cut off the branches and leaves of the bamboo and cut it into a straight and slender bamboo pole.
The onlookers didn't understand why he did this, and they were whispering to each other and talking about it.
"I'm sorry." Zhou Xingxing inserted one end of the bamboo pole into the bullet hole on Han Bingyu's head. He adjusted the direction and placed the other end of the bamboo pole where the bullet landed.
"Lao Han, tell me, where are they?" Zhou Xingxing said to himself, tears blurring his vision again.
The bullet was fired from a distance, passed through Han Bingyu's skull, and embedded itself in the ground. According to the principle of three points forming a line, it only needed to use a bamboo pole, starting from the bullet impact point, through the bullet hole in Han Bingyu's head, and pointed at
The position is the position where the bullet is fired. Formal ballistic testing usually uses laser, and the bamboo pole cut by Zhou Xingxing is equally effective. He aimed, followed the direction indicated by the bamboo pole, and saw a window on a building.
It was a room in a hotel. When I opened the room, there was no one inside.
Zhou Xingxing temporarily set up the major case headquarters in the hotel and asked forensic experts to inspect every corner of the room. No clues could be missed. After technical inspection, they were quickly found on the tea cup and the TV remote control.
Fingerprints were collected, DNA was extracted from smoked cigarette butts, and several clear shoe prints were found in the bathroom. After comparison, they matched those of Gao Fei, Big Thumb, and Ding Busi.
Half an hour later, tiny particles of gunpowder were detected on the curtains, indicating that they had fired at this window.
Zhou Xingxing asked forensic experts to vacuum the sheets and the floor, and found several long hairs. All three of them were men, which is very doubtful. A trace forensic expert analyzed whether it belonged to the waiter.
Hair? Zhou Xingxing asked to find the waiter who cleaned the room immediately to see if he had long hair. He soon found out that the waiter did have long hair.
Forensic experts found some food packaging bags from the trash can. After more than 30 police officers spent an hour investigating, they finally found the place where the food was sold. It was a large shopping mall near the hotel. According to the shopping mall on the fourth floor
An employee recalled that a young man wearing a hat bought these things. He also bought a clock, wires, tape, and a large trolley suitcase, and then took the elevator away.
Bai Jingyu said: "The clock, wires, and tape are used to make time bombs. The big trolley suitcase shows that they are going on a long trip."
Zhou Xingxing said: "Gao Fei left the mall in the elevator. There should be surveillance video in the mall."
He quickly retrieved the surveillance video of the mall elevator, and indeed saw Gao Fei in the video. He took the elevator and left the hotel. When the elevator door was about to open, he took out a piece of paper, read it, and then put it back in his pocket.
.Through technical means, the piece of paper in the video was enlarged 10,000 times, and then the picture was processed to make it clearer, and an identification conclusion was drawn - it was a ticket. However, the handwriting on the ticket was blurred. The first-class identification in China
Neither the experts nor the train station conductor could tell where the ticket came from.
Peng Changtong modified his will, Manhua modified the signature on the IOU, and Cheng Ruoqian modified the date of birth on her son's household registration book. In various crimes, handwriting identification is often involved. The police will use some high-tech analytical instruments, such as thin layer scanning.
The instrument can detect the difference in writing time. The VSC-2000 document detector can identify whether the writing has been altered. The electrostatic mark display instrument is currently a better instrument for displaying indented handwriting.
Zhou Xingxing looked at the laser detection analyzer in a daze, thinking carefully about something. The identification expert was doing spectral analysis and color comparison. Suddenly, Zhou Xingxing shouted: "Don't move."
He turned the screen of the analyzer upside down, and people saw that the ticket displayed two words on the screen: Lu Ming.
Bai Jingyu immediately notified the Luming County police and deployed tight control at the train station. Zhou Xingxing checked the train timetable and found that the train would arrive in Luming at 8 pm. At this moment, Gao Fei, Big Thumb, and Ding Busi were already on the train.
Zhou Xingxing asked: "How can I get there the fastest?"
Bai Jingyu said: "Airplane."
Zhou Xingxing said: "We should request air support."
Bai Jingyu looked at him: "Leave this to the Luming police. They have set up a dragnet at the station, so you can't escape."
Zhou Xingxing said: "I want to catch them myself."
Bai Jingyu said: "Okay."
At 7:30 pm, a camouflage helicopter landed in a wheat field near Luming Railway Station. Zhou Xingxing got off the helicopter and quickly ran to the train station. There were already more than a dozen police cars parked at the exit, and more than 40 heavily armed police officers.
The police are on standby, and it seems that the local police have used all their police force. The Luming County Public Security Chief emphasized again to everyone through the intercom:
"Everyone, keep your eyes open. The train is about to arrive at the station. There are three people on the other side, one is a young man, one is an old man, and the other one is easy to recognize. He is a dwarf."
Zhou Xingxing walked over and explained his identity. The chief of public security introduced to him that there were 20 plainclothes policemen on the platform. There were many people in the waiting hall. Only ten police officers were arranged, and their 40 main police officers were in ambush.
At the exit, they chose to arrest them at the exit.
Zhou Xingxing said to the Luming County Public Security Bureau: "Then I'll go to the lobby and wait."
He took a few steps, turned back and said, "They also have a trolley case, a red one. The dwarf is probably hiding in the trolley case."
Later, it was proved that Zhou Xingxing's reasoning was completely correct. Brother Thumb got out of the car, pulled the suitcase and walked out of the station. When he was about to get into the taxi, the police captured him and opened the trolley suitcase. As expected, Ding Busi was hiding inside.
At 8 o'clock in the evening, the train arrived at the station. People in the hall rushed forward and squeezed in. Some held up signs to pick people up, and some shouted other people's names. The scene was noisy, chaotic, and full of people. Because it was the terminal station.
, there were a lot of passengers getting off the bus, and they were crowded together. Zhou Xingxing paid close attention to everyone. In the tidal flow of people, a woman wearing a scarf and a hat passed by. Zhou Xingxing thought she looked strange, and it was like playing a movie in his mind.
I flashed past the tickets, trolley suitcases, and food packaging bags. Thinking of the long hair I found in the hotel room, my heart suddenly skipped a beat - those long hairs were probably fallen off from the wig.
Zhou Xingxing shouted: "Stop!"
The woman didn't seem to hear and quickened her pace. Zhou Xingxing caught up with her and grabbed her hair in one fell swoop. As expected, the woman she was wearing was indeed a wig. This man disguised as a woman was Gao Fei!
Gao Fei took advantage of the opportunity to throw Zhou Xingxing away, and ten plainclothes policemen in the hall chased him. They pulled out their guns. People didn't know what was going on. They fled in panic and crowded into one. Gao Fei grabbed a child and used
The gun was pressed against the child's head and he told the police, "Don't come here." While saying this, he retreated to the corner. The police quickly formed a fan-shaped encirclement and approached step by step.
Zhou Xingxing said: "Let him go!"
Gao Fei said: "Why don't you let me go?"
The child was trembling with fear and speechless. He was wearing a school uniform and looked like a middle school student. After a while, the child's parents squeezed through the crowd and burst into tears when they saw the scene. Then, the parents knelt down to Gao Fei.
She cried and begged him to let the child go.
Zhou Xingxing said: "You can't run away."
Gao Fei said: "Then I will find a companion."
Zhou Xingxing said: "Let's do this. I will make an exchange with this child. You let him go and I will be your hostage."
Gao Fei said: "You can consider it."
Zhou Xingxing said: "You have parents too. If you still have some conscience, you can agree."
Gao Fei said: "I didn't, I grew up in prison."
Zhou Xingxing said: "Neither did I. I grew up in the police station."
Gao Fei said: "Okay."
Gao Fei asked Zhou Xingxing to turn around, raise his hands, and slowly retreat. When Zhou Xingxing retreated to Gao Fei, Gao Fei suddenly strangled his neck from behind and put the muzzle of the gun against his chest. The child was frightened.
Gao Fei panicked and ran away. Gao Fei asked Zhou Xingxing how he found him, and Zhou Xingxing briefly explained the process. Gao Fei laughed and praised Zhou Xingxing for being smart. Luming police reported to Bai Jingyu, and Bai Jingyu reported to Luming police on the phone
After issuing an order to ensure Zhou Xingxing's personal safety, the Luming police did not dare to attack rashly, and the scene was in a stalemate.
Gao Fei said: "We should have become friends."
Zhou Xingxing said: "We are friends now."
After finishing speaking, Zhou Xingxing suddenly held down Gao Fei's hand.
Gao Fei thought he wanted to snatch the pistol, but he didn't expect Zhou Xingxing to pull the trigger.
The bullet penetrated Zhou Xingxing's heart and also entered Gao Fei's chest.
Two people fell down.
In the process of falling, Zhou Xingxing felt that the surroundings were quiet, and he could no longer hear any sounds. He saw the sky, and he remembered that when he was a child, he was only about 8 years old. He sat alone by the river and threw melancholy.
After so many years, the pebbles fell to the ground one after another.
