Xu Lang was having a meeting in the conference room of the Chengdong Public Security Bureau when his cell phone rang. Xu Lang picked up the phone and found it was an unfamiliar caller. This surprised Xu Lang more or less.
Confuse.
"Hello."
"Is it Xu Lang, Team Leader Xu?"
A man's voice rang on the other end of the phone. When Xu Lang heard this voice, he felt a little familiar. It seemed that he had heard it somewhere before, but he just couldn't remember it for a while.
"I am Xu Lang, who are you?"
"Oh, I am Chen Guodong, director of the Hengtong County Public Security Bureau."
After hearing the other party announce his identity, Xu Lang not only did not show an expression of realization, but instead frowned.
"It turns out to be Director Chen. It's so late. What's the matter with calling me?"
"It's nothing too important. Last time, Team Leader Xu, you came to Chenjiahe to investigate the case of Chen Qiumin's murder, and encountered a landslide. Now, the roads here have been cleared and the highways are smooth. I don't know when you will come again."
Come over here?"
Xu Lang was silent for a moment, his brows furrowed more and more, he thought for a while and said, "Oh, I'm quite busy with work these days. I will go to Chenjiahe again in a few days."
"Then remember to inform me before Team Leader Xu comes so that I can make some preparations."
"Prepare? What preparations?" Xu Lang narrowed his eyes and asked.
"Of course we can't have another road collapse like last time."
"Don't worry, if I go to Chenjiahe again, I will definitely notify you in advance."
"That's good, that's good."
"Is there anything else?" Xu Lang asked.
"Oh, no. It's already so late. I'm really sorry for disturbing Team Leader Xu. Is it disturbing your rest?"
"If there's nothing else, I'll just hang up."
"good."
Just when Xu Lang was about to hang up the phone, Chen Guodong's voice rang from the phone again.
"By the way, I heard a lot of noise from Team Leader Xu's side. Did something happen?"
Hearing this, Xu Lang's pupils shrank immediately, his eyes narrowed into slits, he smiled and said, "Nothing happened. I was eating and drinking outside with a few colleagues."
"Oh, that's it, Team Leader Xu, you didn't go to my house for dinner last time. Next time you come, you must come to my house as a guest. I have home-brewed shochu that I have treasured for many years. It tastes very good. Many
The team leader must try it next time he comes."
"Okay, I will definitely try it if I get the chance."
After saying these words, neither of them spoke anymore.
"Then I won't disturb Team Leader Xu. I'll hang up first."
After a few seconds of silence, Chen Guodong spoke first and then hung up the phone.
As the phone was hung up, a busy tone came from the receiver. Xu Lang continued to answer the phone, but everyone else in the conference room looked at Xu Lang, wondering what was going on.
Xu Lang's expression was very ugly. He silently put down his phone and fell into deep thought.
The last time Xu Lang went to Hengtong County was a week ago. At that time, the road to Chenjiahe Village had an inexplicable landslide. Immediately afterwards, Xu Lang received the news that Chen Wang had been killed and rushed back from Hengtong County.
After that, Xu Lang and the others were busy investigating the murders of Chen Qiumin and Chen Wang, and did not go to Chenjiahe Village for further visits and investigations, and Chen Guodong did not call to mention the matter. It seemed that everyone was ignoring this
Things were forgotten.
However, something happened at Changkuai Company today. Chen Zhen and Chen Yuzhen just appeared and disappeared. Chen Guodong called at this time. Is this normal?
It was obviously very abnormal. Xu Lang saw the landslide scene at that time. Although the landslide was huge, it was actually very simple to clean up. As long as there were enough manpower, it could be cleaned up in a few hours instead of a day. However, now it is far from the last time.
A week has passed since the landslide. Chen Guodong didn't call earlier or later, but he called at this time and actively asked Xu Lang and the others to investigate. No matter how you look at it, it's strange.
The National Public Security Bureau is one family. Many times, when investigating a case, many police forces and departments are required to cooperate in the investigation. This is a very common thing. It is also normal for the police in the city to go to subordinate counties to investigate the case. The Public Security Bureau
There are internal indicators for solving crimes every year. Especially at the end of the year, in order to improve the detection rate, people from the municipal bureau will go to various subordinate counties to investigate some difficult cases, and people from the provincial bureau will also go to various subordinate urban areas to investigate cases.
These are all very common things.
The detection of each case cannot be completed by one person or one department alone. It requires the cooperation of many people and the cooperation of multiple departments to solve the case. In the public security system, individual heroism is the most unacceptable
, is also the least allowed. After all, a person's strength and ability are limited. The police are also human beings. They are not supermen, let alone Ultraman. It is impossible for one person to save the earth.
Although, in recent years, the detection of many cases has been completed through the cooperation of various departments and police forces, but generally when many cases are being investigated and the police forces in other cities are requested for assistance, they often do not pay that much attention to them. This is normal.
The situation, because it is not a case that occurred in their own jurisdiction, they are definitely not in a hurry. However, like some towns, the quality of the police is not high. They often do not work hard, and more often do things perfunctory, unless they are under high pressure.
, they just
When it comes to taking things seriously, the most common thing is that it is better to do less than to do more, and not to seek merit but to seek no faults. This is what many people think.
Previously, when Xu Lang and Luo Jiayan went to Chenjiahe Village to conduct an investigation, Xu Lang felt a force blocking them. Later, when Xu Lang and Luo Jiayan wanted to go to Chenjiahe Village alone to conduct an investigation,
But they encountered a mountain landslide. Xu Lang felt that it was definitely not a coincidence. What's more, the time when Chen Guodong appeared at that time was too coincidental.
After returning to S City, the murder case of Chen Wang occurred. When investigating Chen Wang, he found out his previous case records, and in this case, Chen Guodong had appeared, which further deepened the suspicion of Chen Guodong, and even
It is suspicion of the Hengtong County Public Security Bureau.
Now, at this time, Chen Guodong suddenly called and invited Xu Lang and the others to go to Chenjiahe Village to investigate. Rather than calling to tell Xu Lang that the landslide leading to Chenjiahe Village had been cleared, it would be better to say that he
He took this opportunity to inquire about the situation, which further increased his suspicion of Chen Guodong.
Judging from the various signs currently investigated and grasped by the police, whether it is the murder case of Chen Qiumin or the murder case of Chen Wang, including the explosion that occurred during the day and the escape case of Chen Zhen, all the spearheads point to Chenjiahe Village. Xu Lang is now
I'm thinking, should we start an all-out investigation into Chenjiahe Village, or Hengtong County?
It seems that this decision is easy to make, but Xu Lang has a lot of scruples. The investigation of Chenjiahe Village is certain, but the investigation of the Hengtong County Public Security System is a problem. Although, there are various signs now,
The Hengtong County Public Security Bureau led by Chen Guodong may be related to these cases. However, this is just a suspicion. There is no sufficient evidence to prove this. Moreover, many of them are Xu Lang's speculations. Based on these alone, it is impossible to carry out the investigation.
of its investigation.
Thinking of this, Xu Lang felt a headache.
————
It is already ten minutes late at night, and the investigation and pursuit are still continuing, but so far, there has been no breakthrough progress.
According to the car driven by Chen Yuzhen, Luo Jiayan and the others were chasing all the way. News came out not long ago that they were divided into three groups to pursue. However, no trace of Chen Yuzhen was found yet, and Xu Lang and the others also knew about Chen Yuzhen and the others.
Fleeing to the suburbs of Chengbei District, I immediately contacted the people from the Criminal Investigation Brigade of H Province, the police station of Leshan County, and the Public Security Bureau of Wuhai City, asking them to set up cards on the only road from S City to their jurisdiction.
intercept.
However, judging from the intelligence just reported, Chen Yuzhen and the others were not found in these three places, and Luo Jiayan and the others also did not find Chen Yuzhen and the others. They seemed to have disappeared. This made Xu Lang feel puzzled.
After monitoring the scope, where did it go?
The questioning of Changkui Transportation Company employees has come to an end for the time being. There is currently no evidence to prove that they are related to the series of accidents that occurred today. After finishing the notes, they were asked to go back first. As for Sun Yiyang and three trucks
The interrogation of the driver did not make much progress. Sun Yiyang and Chen Lei both chose to remain silent. As for the other two truck drivers, although they took the initiative to confess, what they confessed did not help much in the investigation of the case.
.
The police department also intervened in the investigation of this case. They sealed up Changkui Transportation Company, took away the company's computers and the company's financial accounts, and conducted an investigation. Judging from their current feedback, Changkui Company is
A shell company, its capital flow does not match its business at all, but that does not mean that Changkuai Company has no business.
From the establishment of Changkuai Company to the present, Changkuai Company has many transportation orders every year, and these transportation items are all from Hengtong County to and from S City. As for the transportation, because it is in the urban area, the relevant departments
There are very few checks, so we don’t know exactly what they are transporting.
A series of things that suddenly happened today caught the police off guard. Everyone was very tired. Although it was already early in the morning, everyone was still working. At this moment, the conference room was filled with smoke, coughs and burning cigarettes.
The voices come and go.
"Dingling bells..."
Xu Lang's cell phone rang again. Xu Lang picked up the phone and looked at it and found that it was Fan Yang, so Xu Lang answered the call.
"What's wrong?"
"Brother Lang, where are you now?"
"Chengdong Public Security Bureau, what's wrong? Are you back?"
"Yes, I heard something happened in City S, so I rushed back temporarily."
"Have you got any results from your investigation?"
"Yes, yes."
"What result?"
"I can't tell you clearly on the phone for a while. How about I go to the east of the city to find you and report in person?"
Hearing what Fan Yang said, Xu Lang thought for a moment and said, "No need, I'll be right back."
"Otherwise, I'd better go over and find you." Fan Yang said hesitantly.
"That's it, I'll be right back."
After saying this, Xu Lang hung up the phone without waiting for Fan Yang to say anything else.
After putting down his cell phone, he briefly explained some situations to the director of the Chengdong Public Security Bureau, left the conference room, borrowed a police car from Chengdong District, and drove in the direction of CSY.
On the way back, Xu Lang was thinking about what Fan Yang had investigated in Changyang City. Fan Yang had been in Changyang City for so long and had not contacted him. Xu Lang had always found it strange, but the recent
Things are very
Xu Lang was busy and did not have time to ask. Xu Lang naturally did not believe that Fan Yang was the kind of person who would forget about work when he returned to his hometown. Although the two of them had been together for less than half a year, Xu Lang believed that Fan Yang
Yang is a very principled police officer and will definitely not abandon his official duties for personal reasons. So, there must be a reason why she has not contacted him for so long since she returned to Changyang City.
Xu Lang was thinking about things while driving. He always felt that the results Fan Yang would bring back when he went to Changyang City to investigate this time would definitely surprise him. Xu Lang had a bad feeling in his heart.
————
City S in the early morning is always so peaceful and quiet. During the day, the streets are busy with traffic and congested, but at this time they are extremely empty. Except for the occasional taxi passing by with empty lights on, there is almost nothing else to see.
car.
There was an intersection with a traffic light ahead. Xu Lang was still some distance away from the traffic light. The green light had started to flash. When Xu Lang's car drove to the intersection, the green light went out and the yellow light came on.
Although there were no vehicles on both sides of the intersection, Xu Lang chose to stop the car and wait for the green light to turn green again.
After waiting for more than a minute, the green light finally turned on. Xu Lang started the car, stepped on the accelerator lightly, and prepared to cross the intersection.
Just now when Xu Lang was waiting for the traffic light, a truck came from the intersection on Xu Lang's left. The truck was not driving very fast and seemed to be loaded with heavy things. Xu Lang just glanced at it and didn't take it to heart.
The car started, and Xu Lang drove the police car slowly toward the opposite side. However, just as Xu Lang's car started and reached the middle of the intersection, Xu Lang heard the roar of the truck's engine. He subconsciously turned toward
Looking to the left, his eyes widened. The truck that was supposed to be parked at the intersection waiting for the traffic light actually started to accelerate and hit his police car.
Xu Lang didn't have time to think too much and stepped on the accelerator, hoping to drive to the other side before the truck hit his car.
Xu Lang was slamming on the accelerator, and so was the driver of the truck.
One large and one small, both cars were slamming on the accelerator, making it extremely harsh on the quiet street.
"Bang,"
Although Xu Lang took emergency measures as soon as he discovered the danger, his car was still hit hard by the truck. However, because Xu Lang stepped on the accelerator, the front of the truck only hit Xu Lang.
The rear of the car, despite this, Xu Lang's police car was still hit by a huge impact and spun around at the intersection.
Xu Lang staggered, leaning forward subconsciously, and then was pulled back to the seat by the seat belt. A heart-pounding pain instantly stimulated Xu Lang's brain, and the wound on his arm burst open again, and blood flowed.
The blood rushed out, and the smell of blood spread in the car. Xu Lang had no time to think about it. He twisted the steering wheel and slammed on the brakes, hoping that the car could stop smoothly.
The car was like a whipped top, hitting the road for a circle and a half. Amidst the tooth-aching sound of brakes and the thick smoke rising from the tires rubbing against the ground, the car finally stopped.
After the car stopped, Xu Lang didn't think much and immediately started the car again, because the truck that just hit Xu Lang's police car came back again and hit Xu Lang's car again. If Xu Lang didn't stop at this time,
If he takes action, his car will definitely be hit by the other party.
However, what happened next made Xu Lang feel extremely annoyed. The police car didn't know whether it had some malfunction or if some part of the car was damaged due to the impact. When Xu Lang started the car, he couldn't.
He tried to start it several times but failed to start it.
The roar of the truck was getting closer and closer, and it was about to hit Xu Lang's car.
Xu Lang didn't have extra time to think about the problem. He no longer tried to start the car. Instead, he unbuckled his seat belt, opened the door, and prepared to get out of the car. The truck driver also noticed Xu Lang's intention. He turned the steering wheel slightly, and the truck
It changed direction and hit the direction where Xu Lang got off the car. As long as Xu Lang got off the car, the truck would definitely run over Xu Lang.
At this moment, a silver-white van came from the direction where the truck had just come. The van hit the truck at the fastest speed.
"Bang,"
With a silent sound, the van and the truck collided. Xu Lang, who had just got out of the car, ran directly to the side without thinking. The truck also suffered the impact and did not turn towards Xu Lang.
It hit Xu Lang's police car. The huge impact pushed Xu Lang's police car directly into the green belt on the side of the road, making a loud sound that stung the eardrums.
The front of the silver-white van hit the middle of the truck. The front of the van was dented and started to smoke. The truck stopped after pushing Xu Lang's police car for a short distance.
Xu Lang was stunned for a moment when he saw the scene in front of him. However, he didn't have time to think too much. He took out his mobile phone, called the police, asked for support, and walked towards the truck.
However, Xu Lang had only taken a few steps when the truck that had just stopped started again. However, he did not drive towards Xu Lang, but retreated directly. When he retreated to the intersection, he sped directly towards a road.
, and the van also started at this time, chasing the truck and leaving.
Using the streetlight at the intersection, Xu Lang saw the face of the person in the van that was shattered by the impact. There was only one profile, that of a woman. When he saw this woman, Xu Lang was stunned.
