At this point, the third fat man paused and said to us: "Of course, the police did not find the owner of the cabin in the end. Later, they monitored the cabin and found no one coming back. After a long time, the police finally just
We can end those murder cases as unsolved cases."
"Why is this case in Hong Kong so similar to Du Ling's case?" I stayed for a moment and then said, "Sister Lin, it seems that the third fat man is right. This Du Ling may really not be dead."
"But...but wasn't he hit in the heart by a gun?" Lin Qianyi said in disbelief.
The third fat man on the other end of the phone heard this and immediately said: "Sister Lin, don't forget that Du Ling said he had mastered the art of immortality. Although he didn't say clearly what it was, I guess it might be
It has something to do with organ transplantation.”
"Organ transplant?"
"That's right, looking at the people who died in Du Ling's hands, what they have in common is that everyone is missing something, be it a hand, foot, internal organ or other limb part. And the case that happened in the mainland
Some people claimed to have found traces of their relatives in Du Ling's body. Combining these details, I think Du Ling's immortality may refer to a trick similar to organ transplantation. If this is the case, everything would make sense.
, after Du Ling fell into the sea, he probably did not die immediately, but fled to Hong Kong, where he later used his immortality skills to replace his damaged organs and survived."
Lin Qianyi took a deep breath and said: "Okay, then what happened to him? Why did Du Ling disappear after committing the crime in Hong Kong? And why did he come back today, forty years later?
mainland?"
"Could he be coming back to find something? For example, the research notebook that the police have never found?" San Pang suddenly raised a possibility, "There is one thing you must not have guessed. When Du Ling went to the countryside,
The places to be renovated are in the area of New Market and Jinping City."
"Really?"
Lin Qianyi and I were a little surprised when we heard this. We really didn't expect that the place we were in was actually the area where Du Ling went to the countryside together.
The third fat man confirmed on the other end of the phone and told us that the area where Du Ling used to go to the countryside was in a rural area between Xinjia Market and Jinping City. As for the location of his cabin, it was still
It’s unclear, because the catastrophe occurred shortly after the case occurred. Many files within the public security system were artificially destroyed in the catastrophe, and not all of them were preserved. The location of Du Ling’s cabin was lost at that time
of.
The third fat man continued: "I'm thinking that the notebook that the police didn't find at that time is probably still hidden in that cabin. If you can find the location of the cabin, you might be able to find Du Ling's whereabouts."
"But didn't you say that the location of the cabin has been lost? And after more than forty years, won't the cabin be demolished?" I asked.
"Although the location of the cabin is lost, I can roughly draw a range for you. According to the case information, the cabin should be on a mountain, and the mountain should be between Jinping City and Xinbaji.
In between, there should be woods on the mountains and streams running through the woods. I don’t think you have too many places like this. Just find a few locals and they should be able to identify them for you." San Pang suggested.
A suggestion, and then he said, "Of course, I can't guarantee whether the cabin has been demolished or not. To be honest, you don't have any other choice now, right? You might as well follow my guess.
?”
After saying this, the third fat man said a few more words, promising us that he would continue to look for more clues and would notify us immediately if he found anything, and then hung up the phone.
I turned to look at Lin Qianyi and said, "Sister Lin, let's just follow what the third fat man said. He's right. We really don't have many clues to choose from right now."
Lin Qianyi nodded and immediately contacted the local public security bureau.
In the afternoon, the other party suddenly called me, saying that they had indeed found several similar places in the surrounding areas of Jinping City, and we needed to go to the police station to identify them.
So, Lin Qianyi and I immediately drove to the Public Security Bureau.
When I got there, I suddenly realized something was wrong. There seemed to be a lot less people in the Public Security Bureau than when we came last time. I asked the person in charge who received us where the others had gone, and the other person told us:
, I heard at the New Market next door that a major espionage case had occurred, and most of the staff in the bureau received orders from their superiors and rushed over to provide support.
When I heard the news, I immediately thought of what Wu Tian told us before, that he was planning to set up an ambush circle at the New Market to deal with the Foundation's agents. Could it be that he was the spy the person in charge said?
The big case refers to Wu Tian's affairs?
After thinking about it for a while, I shook my head again and put the matter behind me. We don't need to worry about the situation at Wu Tian's side right now. Finding the cabin where Du Ling once hid is our top priority.
.
When we came to a conference room, a middle-aged man in uniform was already sitting inside. The head of the public security introduced us and said that this was a comrade from the local Agriculture and Forestry Bureau. Regarding the place we wanted to search, this man
Comrades can provide some information.
After exchanging pleasantries with this comrade, he immediately took out a map from his briefcase and spread it out on the conference table.
Then, the comrade first took out a red pen, drew a few circles on the map, and then explained to us that the four places he had just circled were the four places around Jinping City that met the conditions we gave.
A hilltop.
"You two, the area around Jinping City is a hilly area with countless mountains and forests. However, the only ones that meet the requirements you have put forward are these four places within 80 kilometers of the surrounding area. The ones further away must be a hundred kilometers away.
Yes, if you need it, I can draw it for you."
"No, no need for now."
After I replied, I lay down on the map and looked at it. The four hills drawn by this comrade were indeed between Jinping City and New Market. Judging from the map, the locations were relatively remote, and there were people closest to them.
The village I live in is more than 20 kilometers away, and it looks similar to what the three fat men said.
"Are there streams in these mountains?" I looked up and asked.
"Yes." The comrade from the Agriculture and Forestry Bureau came over, pointed at the map and said, "There are mountain streams in these four mountains, and there is a waterfall on one of the mountains."
I continued to ask him: "Then do you know which mountain here has a cabin?"
The other party shook his head and said, "I don't know about that. These four places are too remote. Few people usually go there. If someone builds one or two wooden houses on their own initiative, I'm afraid no one will know."
I raised my head, took a deep breath, and said to Lin Qianyi: "Sister Lin, it seems we can only search these four mountains by ourselves."
Lin Qianyi thought for a moment and asked the person in charge if the police could send some police to assist us, but the other person looked confused: "Comrade Lin, you have also seen that our people have all gone to the new market now.
Although there are still some people over there, if those people leave with you, then there will really be no one to control the local security in Jinping City?"
Lin Qianyi also knew that this was indeed a bit difficult, so she didn’t know what to do for a while. Fortunately, in addition to the Municipal Public Security Bureau, we also have people from the Agriculture and Forestry Bureau here. And in our country’s Agriculture and Forestry Bureau
Among the establishment, there is a special police force under the jurisdiction of the Agriculture and Forestry Bureau - the Forest Police Bureau.
Although it is called public security in name and belongs to the public security system, the unit under the direct jurisdiction of the forest police is the Agriculture and Forestry Bureau. Therefore, this time the public security bureau transferred manpower to the new market, the police force of the forest police was not transferred. So,
The comrade from the Agriculture and Forestry Bureau said that we could ask several forest police officers to help us investigate the four locations.
