The beep of the computer receiving files sounded, and Li Zan glanced briefly. It was the 703 black gun crime record sent from Tangshan New District.
The case records are almost the same as the news reports, with just a few more details that are easier to understand: more than 300 missing guns were never found, and more than half of the people involved in the case were dismissed from their posts during the investigation. Among them, the weapons depot chief and the minister of the armed forces were sentenced.
18 years in prison.
This missing gun case is still unsolved, and new records are updated every year. The most recent record update was the year before last. The Minister of Armed Forces had a chance to have his sentence commuted for good behavior in prison, and he was finally released from prison the year before last.
As for the weapons depot chief, he committed suicide in his second year in prison.
After Li Zan finished browsing, the doubts in his heart only increased. He and Jiang Heng had previously guessed that it would not be difficult to find out the mole, but the weapons depot chief and the armed forces minister who were sentenced to prison were obviously not innocent.
But if these two people were really moles, why wasn't it stated in the case records? They went to a military court to be sentenced, and the corresponding charges had to be determined, but the charges marked in the case records were clearly dereliction of duty.
If he is merely derelict in his duties, he will be sentenced to three or four years in prison at most. Eighteen years in prison would be too harsh.
Li Zan really couldn't figure out the contradiction. He threw the mouse aside, leaned back in his chair, frowned and thought for a moment, then dialed Captain Liao of Beitian District to inquire about the fire on Hangshui Street. He didn't say much nonsense but pointed directly.
Fragments of firearms dug up by the Tianfeng Club.
Team Liao on the other side did not give in and explained to him clearly: "Experts from the Ministry of Armed Forces came and estimated that the fragments collected may contain about two hundred Type 92 pistols and at least 4,000
Shoot bullets. This is not a matter of one or two, the number is too large——"
"If I guessed correctly, the total number should be 300 pistols and 6,000 rounds of ammunition."
"How did you know this?"
"..." After a moment of silence, Li Zan said with a smile: "It seems that you all know about the missing gun case 16 years ago."
Team Liao: "Is there any new information? If not, I will give up."
Li Zan looked at the memory card in the evidence bag on the table and said calmly: "The new information is that in addition to the police, there are at least two waves of people looking for these firearms. Judging from the situation, the wave of people who aimed to destroy the firearms succeeded."
Captain Liao was silent for a few seconds, holding the wall with one hand, and said again and again after careful consideration: "Which two groups of people?"
"I can only confirm that one of them is the two corpses in the flower trough exhumed in Simen Village. They are looking for the three hundred firearms stolen in the 703 black gun case. Although they are not sure about their true purpose, I am sure they do not want to
The firearms were destroyed. Another group of people... Based on my guess, which is not very rigorous, you can listen to whatever you want - this group of people is the murderer of the two tenants in Simen Village and Shen Pingsha."
Team Liao: “Is there any evidence?”
"Of course -" Li Zan: "No."
Team Liao: “That’s all?”
Li Zan: "Nonsense, I don't have so much new information."
"We found the head of the only deceased person at the scene! Well... it was blown into half. There is a hole in the back of the head. Could it be that he had been shot before the explosion? Where are the forensic people? Come and see how this person died!"
Someone shouted loudly on the other end, and the voice reached Li Zan's ears through the microphone. He couldn't help but narrowed his eyes and asked: "Captain Liao, please follow us now and see if the deceased was shot and the wound looks like it was shot - a bullet can only cause it."
It should be possible to confirm that the firearms were destroyed and the murderer of four people in a row is the same person. I will send the autopsy reports of Shen Pingsha and the two deceased people in Simen Village together, so you can compare whether the wounds of these people are consistent."
Team Liao: "Okay, I understand. Thank you for reminding me. I'll treat you to dinner later."
Li Zan: "Why don't you tell me more information-" Before he could finish his words, Captain Liao hung up the communication.
Li Zan made a 'tsk' sound, closed his eyes and lay on the table to clarify all the doubts and key points again, and connected the cases to try to figure out the murderer and his purpose.
There are two groups of people looking for the firearms stolen 16 years ago. According to the memory card, it can be guessed that one of the groups is the two deceased people in Simen Village. They came all the way from Jinghong City, Yunnan - to be more precise, it should be
Golden Triangle area.
They rushed from the Golden Triangle area to Guangdong City just for this batch of firearms from 16 years ago. Their purpose is not yet clear, but there should be a lot to write about, otherwise there is no need to spend a lot of time searching for this batch of firearms that have been relatively lost.
Firearms of original value.
A batch of firearms that have been in the dust for 16 years and have not been carefully maintained have long lost their excellent performance. The speed of firearm replacement is changing with each passing day. They have neither collection value nor use value. What is the reason that prompted them to find this
Approval of firearms?
Another group of people shot and killed the people who were looking for these firearms to stop them and destroyed the firearms at the same time. The purpose should be the opposite of the purpose of the two deceased people in Simen Village.
At the same time, it is also an unsolved case of a missing gun 16 years ago... Having said that, no one should know more about the serious missing gun case than the Minister of the Armed Forces, who has been in prison for more than ten years.
Li Zan quickly walked out of the office, pushed aside the green radish and said: "Wang, check this person Luo Zhenghao."
Luo Zhenghao, the name of the Minister of Armed Forces of Tangshan.
The king didn't even raise his head: "Are there any other characteristics?"
Li Zan: "I was in prison and was released from prison two years ago. I used to be the Minister of the Tangshan Armed Forces."
"I'll message you in ten minutes."
"By the way, send me the topographic map of the shooting range in the east of Liantang County. It's best to have a topographic map from 16 years ago."
"……I try my best."
***
Tangshan New District.
Tangshan shooting range.
Jiang Heng, who put on his camouflage uniform, walked out of his personal lounge and arranged his elbow protection equipment while heading towards the entrance hall.
There were more than a dozen shooting enthusiasts gathered in the hall, all members of Tangshan Shooting Range, both men and women. When Jiang Heng came in, he more or less attracted their attention, because they were all shooting enthusiasts and their circle was not large.
After several years, all of them were familiar faces, but Jiang Heng was a new face.
Jiang Heng was naturally aware of countless hidden glances, but he didn't care. He lowered his head and took off his expensive diamond watch and stuffed it into his chest pocket. From the corner of his eye, he saw someone sitting next to him.
The man said "Wow", as if he was marveling at Jiang Heng's aura.
"Brother, is this your first time at the shooting range?"
Jiang Heng raised his eyes, and his eyes reflected a smiling pretty face. A few smile lines at the corners of the pretty face's eyes and mouth added to the affinity. Like a reckless calf, he suddenly came over to look at Jiang Heng's diamond watch, and then quickly retreated back the next moment.
.
The boy's face was full of shock: "It's really a diamond watch! Brother, I advise you to leave the diamond watch to the front desk for safekeeping, otherwise it will be lost in the shooting range and it will be difficult to get it back."
Jiang Heng put on his half-open gloves and said leisurely: "I have too much money to burn."
This statement arouses hatred.
Perhaps knowing that his words were met with silence, Jiang Heng said without sincerity: "Thank you for reminding me."
This thank you is as embarrassing as scolding someone for meddling in other people's business. A smarter person would have shut up and walked away, but the pretty boy seemed so stupid that he couldn't understand Jiang Heng's indifferent expression and perfunctory thank you, so he continued to find a topic to talk about:
"I am an outdoor shooting range, are you too?"
The Tangshan shooting range is divided into two modes: indoor and outdoor shooting ranges. Few people choose the outdoor shooting range because the outdoor shooting range has great restrictions and high requirements. Players must hold a shooting license and must even provide proof of having played guns for at least five years.
Unexpectedly, the pretty boy was actually qualified to play on the outdoor shooting range. Jiang Heng was quite surprised and became somewhat interested.
"Like playing with guns?"
The pretty boy put on his half-open gloves in front of Jiang Heng, and said with a smile: "I have been playing for several years. A gun is like a little beauty, sassy and beautiful, and it is very exciting to play with."
His words were a bit ambiguous, but his expression was serious and enthusiastic. It was obvious that he was a gun enthusiast.
Jiang Heng's eyes glanced at the thick yellow calluses on the pretty girl's fingertips, and he leaned back on the chair and replied lazily: "It's very beautiful."
The pretty boy nodded happily: "My name is Lou Ji, what's your name?"
Jiang Heng didn't answer but asked: "Which team are you in?"
Lou Ji looked up at the electronic clock on the wall and replied: "11 o'clock, Donglu Shooting Range. What about you?"
"At 10 o'clock, it's also the Donglu Shooting Range." Jiang Heng raised the corners of his lips: "What a coincidence."
Lou Ji narrowed his eyes, shook his head and said in a regretful tone: "It's not a coincidence. It's an hour apart, so we can't make it to the same scene. I just happened to be there when you finished. What a coincidence."
"It's quite a coincidence." Jiang Heng responded casually, without mentioning that he actually attended two sessions in a row, that is, the two hours from 10 to 12 o'clock, at the Donglu Shooting Range.
Lou Ji smiled and seemed to have lost interest in the conversation.
After Jiang Heng finished organizing his equipment, his cell phone rang in his trouser pocket. He walked to the corner against the wall to answer the phone: "Miss me?"
"I will try to think of you when I have free time - did you receive the topographic map of the Donglu Shooting Range I sent?"
Jiang Heng, who thought about it for a while but was perfunctorily dismissed, said somewhat unmotivated: "I got it."
"The storage card says Donglu Shooting Range of Liantang County. I guess it may be the terrain map before it was developed into a free shooting range. After you receive it, download a current terrain map for comparison. Be sure to find Donglu Shooting Range 102 as soon as possible.
Room." Li Zan briefly described the information he had so far, and then said: "Kengshui Railway Station has been found, and all the missing guns have been destroyed. The next target of this group of people is probably Room 102 of the Donglu Shooting Range, but not
Know what is hidden in Room 102."
Jiang Heng: “Maybe it’s to reveal the mole in the missing gun case, or maybe it’s relevant evidence to reveal the mastermind.”
Li Zan raised his eyebrows: "It's not impossible."
Jiang Heng laughed: "I was just talking casually."
It was exactly 10 o'clock and the outdoor shooting range was open. Jiang Heng explained the itinerary in a low voice and said to Li Zan: "I'm going in."
Li Zan in the branch responded and listened to the beep sound after hanging up the phone. He was stunned for a moment, then put down the phone and set off to find Luo Zhenghao based on the information obtained by Wang's search.
