Chapter 256 The mantis stalks the cicada
At five o'clock in the afternoon, the wind picked up.
The wind blows in from the car window, and you can smell a hint of late autumn.
Luo Rui held the steering wheel with both hands and stared at the road ahead.
Cai Xiaojing sat in the passenger seat and glanced at him from time to time.
After a long silence, she finally couldn't help it and asked with concern: "You were shot, are you okay?"
"It's okay." Luo Rui stretched out his hand and unzipped his jacket. There was a yellow-orange bullet embedded in the body armor on his chest.
Cai Xiaojing nodded and said no more.
Luo Rui looked at her, then withdrew his gaze and looked forward.
"That...thank you."
"Thank me for what?"
"You are the one who persuades me every time."
Cai Xiaojing smiled and said: "Every policeman needs a partner, just to help him at critical moments." "
Luo Rui also laughed: "Really? Isn't it to supervise each other and prevent violations of discipline when one person is enforcing the law?"
"Of course there is also this aspect. ”
"What would you do if...if I killed Liang Jun?"
"I will report you immediately!" Cai Xiaojing answered decisively without any hesitation.
"If there is such a day, I hope you can do the same."
"I hope there is no such day."
Luo Rui suppressed his smile and changed the subject: "But Yang Zixiong doesn't have his own partner. He is fighting alone. I feel very sad for him.
Look at the wounds on his body. Not only did he break two fingers, but the scar on his arm was not cut off at once with a knife. From the shape of the wound, it seemed that the tip of the knife was inserted into it slowly. across the muscles.
Those people pressed him like this, but he refused to let go. "
Cai Xiaojing said with deep feeling: "Yes, but fortunately he has gone through the most difficult period and he has now gained a firm foothold. "
" Bureau Wei and the others sent Yang Zixiong there. After experiencing such a huge risk, what on earth did they want to investigate? "
"I don't know either. ”
"Really?"
"I really don't know."
Luo Rui nodded and did not continue to ask.
His inner thought is that if he has the opportunity to go to Xiangjiang in the future, he must find Ye Fengming to settle this account clearly.
To this day, he has not forgotten that Jiang Dawei and Li Xueming accompanied him on the visit. He watched them being killed. Although the old stickman who did it was dead and the one who was caught was caught, the culprit is still the same. At large.
Ye Fengming’s sister, Ye Mei?
Luo Rui remembered the name.
But at the moment, he has more important things to do.
An hour later, Luo Rui sent Cai Xiaojing to see Wei Qunshan, and he drove to the funeral parlor on the outskirts of the city.
On the stairs leading to the underground anatomy room.
Luo Rui felt as if his legs were filled with lead.
He had never been afraid of anything, but at this moment, he felt fear.
It felt like there was a big stone in his heart, which kept weighing him down until he couldn't breathe.
Finally, he mustered up the courage and walked down the stairs.
Hearing the noise, Fang Yonghui and Yang Bo, who were standing outside the anatomy room, quickly turned around.
The two people's eyes were red and they looked sad.
"Luo Da!"
"Luo Da!"
They walked towards Luo Rui, their bodies all looking very stiff.
"Don't be sad, cheer up." Luo Rui patted their shoulders.
Then, Luo Rui looked towards the autopsy room, where forensic doctors in white coats were busy. Then, he took a deep breath, gently pushed open the glass door, and walked in with a heavy heart.
Fang Yonghui and Yang Bo also followed behind him.
Qi Lei's body was lying on the metal platform. His eyes were closed, his face was pale, and the blood on his neck had turned black.
The clothes he was wearing had been stripped off, and the bullet holes in his neck and arms could be clearly seen.
Luo Rui pursed his lips tightly and wanted to say something, but he couldn't.
Finally, he smiled and joked to the two subordinates beside him: "Look, this is probably the quietest time for Lao Qi."
Yang Bo also smiled: "Yes, if Lao Qi could speak , will definitely mock us."
Fang Yonghui nodded, sniffed, and smiled.
Luo Rui sighed and walked to Qi Lei's body.
"Old Qi, the squadron leader doesn't want to do anything but just wants to follow me. How about it? Are you dead? I'm sorry for you! Don't worry, I will definitely catch these people and help you get revenge. "Don't worry, I will take care of your family. I will take care of them for the rest of my life. You can go in peace."
Luo Rui grinned, smiled, then lowered his head, trying to control his emotions.
Not long after, the double glass doors were suddenly pushed open.
The three people turned around and saw Lu Kangming and Li Nong rushing over.
Seeing Qi Lei's body, Lu Kangming suddenly raised his head, and Li Nong immediately turned his face.
They are trying their best to endure it.
Luo Rui took a deep breath: "Bureau Lu, Li Da, I'm sorry, I betrayed your trust."
Lu Kangming shook his head and patted his shoulder hard: "We all know the whole story. Well, it’s not your fault. Besides, those in our profession have long been prepared to make sacrifices.”
"Have you notified Lao Qi's family?"
Li Nong nodded: "After receiving a call from Director Wei Qunshan, Political Commissar Yang immediately went to Lao Qi's home."
Lu Kang Ming consoled him: "Luo Rui, don't be mentally burdened, just do what you should do!"
"I understand."
Li Nong looked at Qi Lei's face and shouted with a smile: "Old Qi, you are so proud. Director Lu and I are here to take you home. Let's go back to Shahe County. , the old guys are waiting for you.”
……
At six o’clock in the evening, conference room No. 1 of the Municipal Bureau.
Zhu Yong and Hu Changyu sat at the top of the conference table with livid faces.
The police officers of the anti-narcotics detachment all lowered their heads. Although this meeting was not to investigate responsibilities, the haze of the failure of the operation has been hanging over everyone's head.
Especially Liao Kang, he was sitting in a chair, looking very depressed.
Although Zhu Yong is the criminal investigation captain of the provincial department, he does not intervene in specific cases.
As the head of a bureau, Hu Changyu presided over the meeting.
“Did Liang Jun plead guilty?”
Liao Kang nodded: "He will be interrogated immediately after he is brought back. We have also checked his confession repeatedly..."
Hu Changyu interrupted him: "Can you ensure that he did not lie this time?"
"I'm sure!"
Seeing that he answered simply, Hu Changyu felt a little relieved. Although Liao Kang made a mistake, he could still take responsibility.
“Tell me the specific situation.”
"Okay, Bureau Hu."
Liao Kang stood up and glanced at Luo Rui. The other person was burying his head and looking at Liang Jun's confession carefully, and he also had a copy in his hand. Floor plan of Wanda Mall.
The technical staff of the municipal bureau turned on the projector, and photos of people related to the case appeared on the screen.
Liao Kang cleared his throat and said: "The reason for the failure of this operation is me..."
At this time, Zhu Yong, who had been silent, stretched out his hand to stop him from continuing: "Don't talk nonsense, talk about the case first!"
"Okay..." Liao Kang sighed: "After we captured Liang Jun, we immediately started interrogating him. He confessed Gao Chengyong. Based on his confession, we have painted a portrait of Gao Chengyong..."
At this time, a sketch of a middle-aged man appeared on the screen.
Luo Rui looked up and saw that the person in the portrait was about forty years old, with long hair, a high nose bridge, single eyelids, and a deep scar on the left eyebrow.
“Liang Jun and Gao Chengyong met four times in total, almost all of them at the Liwan Villa in Qianjiang City. Gao Chengyong promised Liang Jun to rescue him because Gao Chengyong planned to ship a batch of goods, and Liang Jun helped him contact him. The society and prosperity in Xiangjiang..."
When Liao Kang said this, Hu Changyu waved his hand: "This part goes without saying."
Liao Kang's eyes narrowed and he looked at Luo Rui from the corner of his eye.
Luo Rui didn't bring back He Sheng's two gang members. He knew there was something unknown about it. Now that Hu Changyu stopped him from continuing, his doubts were solved. .
“We also interrogated the captured gangsters and determined that there were five gangsters in the mall at that time, three of whom were killed and two injured.
According to their confessions, the leader was named Zeng Mo, but during the exchange of gunfire, He has been shot dead by us.
This man is a repeat offender. He robbed a gold shop in Xiangjiang a few years ago. He was later transferred to the mainland and served in prison for more than ten years. After he was released, he has been doing illegal things. Activities
A week ago, Gao Chengyong approached Zeng Mo, promised a large sum of money, and provided weapons to rescue Liang Jun.
On the big screen is the location of the firefight at that time..."
The floor plan of Wanda Mall appeared on the big screen, and Luo Rui also raised his head and stared at it.
< br> "Two gangsters disguised themselves as gym customers. When Luo Rui took Liang Jun and Lao Jin to the elevator on the first floor, they launched an attack... Then, there was also a gangster hiding behind the jewelry cabinet on the first floor. When the firefight began, he used firepower to hold off police officers who were rushing for reinforcements.
There was also a gangster each on the third and fourth floors. The gangster on the third floor shot at the elevator on the first floor. When the gangster on the fourth floor tried to rush down, he was shot dead by our police. This person was the leader. Zeng Mo.
Then, the two gangsters who were still alive rushed to the west gate of the mall and fled in an off-road vehicle with the mall logo on it, and were later captured by us.
At this point, it can actually be speculated that Zeng Mo should have been regarded as an abandoned son by Gao Chengyong, because Liang Jun did not escape with them. He escaped from the mall through another exit, and then sat on the already prepared The garbage truck fled the scene.
We found out that the people who responded to Liang Jun were all subordinates of Lao Gao. There were five people in total, three of them were killed by Luo Rui, and two were still alive..."
At this point, everyone in the conference room looked at Luo Rui. Three people were shot dead on the spot?
Anyone who works as a police officer knows that most people cannot fire a gun several times a year. Even if they are faced with extremely vicious gangsters, there is a psychological burden on them.
Even the special police usually shoot and hit the opponent's legs to knock off the opponent's ability to move.
If we say he was killed on the spot, he hit the vital point directly without any intention of letting the opponent survive.
In just one week, four gangsters were killed by Luo Rui's gun.
But everyone found that Luo Rui was not under any psychological pressure at all, and the expression on his face was calm.
Luo Rui raised his head and looked at Hu Changyu: "After the case is over, I will write a detailed report to you."
Hu Changyu nodded slightly.
Liao Kang continued: "One more thing. In addition to these five gangsters, we suspect that Gao Chengyong was also at the scene. Detachment Chen found the mobile phone number where Liang Jun contacted Gao Chengyong, and we called him Finally, the other party did not speak, but the location of the signal was around the mall.”
“Have you checked the pedestrians around the mall? Have you found any suspicious people?”
“There are too many people. The grassroots police are already visiting. I have sent Gao Chengyong’s portrait. Give it to them and they will notify us as soon as there is any news.”
"Then did Gao Chengyong know that Liang Jun was arrested again?"
"This is not certain. We found out that Liang Jun made two phone calls when he escaped. One was to Xiangjiang Hesheng, named Bao Tianqiang The other person called Gao Chengyong. Liang Jun told the other party that he had escaped and agreed to meet tomorrow night. "
After hearing Liao Kang introduce the case, Hu Changyu leaned back in his chair. , and then communicated with Zhu Yong next to him for a while.
Hu Changyu took a breath, leaned forward, and asked: "Tell me, what should we do next?"
Seeing that no one dared to say anything, he pointed at Liao Kang: "You It’s the detachment leader, tell me.”
"If you want to be on the safe side, I think we can follow the identities of these gangsters and trace them all the way. We should be able to find the whereabouts of Gao Chengyong, and then follow the clues to catch the snake's head..."
"Listen to your tone, you Is there another idea? "
Liao Kang mustered up the courage to reply: "Yes! We can use Liang Jun to test Gao Chengyong to see if he knows Liang Jun's current situation. If he doesn't know, then tomorrow night eight o'clock, i We can set up an ambush at Liwan Villa in Qianjiang City..."
"Okay! I'll leave the investigation to Chen Hao. I'll leave the action to you tomorrow night. I will contact Qian. Jiang City, please ask them to cooperate with us, but you must ensure that this time it will be successful, there will be no casualties, and there will be no losses."
Liao Kang did not expect Hu Changyu to agree so readily, and. And trust yourself so much.
He nodded gratefully: "Hu Bureau, I promise to complete the task!"
Hu Changyu turned his face and looked at Luo Rui.
"Team Leader Luo, what do you think?"
From the time he entered the conference room to now, several hours have passed. Luo Rui has been looking at the materials in his hand without saying a word. .
Both Hu Changyu and Liao Kang were a little confused.
Luo Rui shook his head: "I have no objection."
Hu Changyu was stunned for a moment. This is not Luo Rui's style. No matter what the case, he can see the clues and grasp the doubts that are difficult for others to detect.
There were many people involved in the shooting and murder case caused by the drug bust, and the clues were complicated. Luo Rui could definitely tell something, but he didn't say a word.
Is it because his team members died? Or maybe Luo Rui wants command?
But Luo Rui's position is not enough to direct such a large operation.
He is just a deputy captain of the criminal police. Although his ability is very strong, the organization does not assign him particularly important tasks based on his ability.
Luo Rui must have emotions in his heart. Hu Changyu cursed in his heart. He sighed: "Okay, you guys go down and prepare. Especially you, Liao Kang, must arrange this operation well and don't do it again. Something went wrong.”
……
Ten o’clock in the evening.
Two police cars parked at the entrance of Wanda Shopping Mall.
Because a shooting incident occurred during the day, there were very few pedestrians around the mall and the shops were closed early. However, grassroots police officers could still be seen visiting the area, and traffic police were also patrolling around.
After Luo Rui and his group got off the car, they walked towards the door where the cordon was drawn.
After Cai Xiaojing showed her police officer ID, the police on duty raised the cordon and let them in.
In addition to Qi Lei who died and Tian Guanghan who was seriously injured and hospitalized, everyone from the criminal team followed.
If nothing happened during the day, the mall should still be brightly lit and people coming and going. However, the light inside is very dim at this time, and only the technicians surveying the scene are walking around inside.
The elevator on the first floor opposite Exit A was where the most intense firefight occurred.
Fang Yonghui asked: "Luo Da, what should we do now?"
At this time, everyone was feeling excited. They knew that Luo Rui had his own investigation direction in mind. So there was a look of expectation on everyone's faces.
Luo Rui remained silent. The purpose of coming to the mall was to recreate the scene of the firefight.
Liang Jun has been passing on the news that Gao Chengyong has secretly swallowed a batch of snakeheads and wants to sell them through Liang Jun's channels.
Because of this, Gao Chengyong made up his mind to rescue Liang Jun, but at the same time, the two were afraid that the snakehead would know. Liang Jun said that the snakehead was very ruthless and secretive. For so many years, no one knew who he was.
In this case, how dare Gao Chengyong confront the police? They actually hired professional killers, provided heavy firepower weapons, and engaged in gun battles with the police?
Aren’t you afraid that the snakehead will know that he has made such a big noise?
There may be something fishy here.
Luo Rui and his party took the elevator to the third floor.
Zhao Ming was squatting on the ground, extracting traces of the scene, and when he heard footsteps, he quickly turned around.
Although Zhao Ming is a technician, he is also a policeman, especially when doing work like theirs. If the murderer returns to the scene of the crime and concentrates on extracting physical evidence, it will be easy for him to do so without any precautions. He was attacked from behind and was unable to fight back.
Zhao Ming let out a breath and stood up, then staggered and almost fell down.
Luo Rui quickly supported him: "Is everything okay?"
"It's okay, just stand for a while. I squatted for too long and my feet are numb!"
< br>
Luo Rui looked at the white line drawn on the ground. The white line drew a figure of a fallen figure, and there were two yellow number plates placed on the right side of the figure.
He watched in detail the location of the gangsters during the firefight, and it was Zeng Mo who fell here at that time.
Luo Rui asked: "Is the survey finished?"
Zhao Ming held on to the railing of the corridor and straightened his left leg. "How could it be so fast?"
"Do you need our help?"
"Huh?" Zhao Ming looked at Luo Rui in surprise: "You're not so kind, are you?"
Luo Rui smiled and said what he meant: "I want to restore the scene at that time."
"That's just right. I haven't made the ballistic trajectory yet. With your help, I will work overtime and try to make it tomorrow morning." Zhao Ming put his left leg down and felt no longer numb.
Luo Rui glanced at the display window behind him and said to the team members behind him: "Go find all the models in the clothing store and place them where the gangsters are standing. Let's simulate the scene at that time."< br>
Fang Yonghui and Yang Bo agreed and hurried to do it.
Zhao Ming frowned: "It's not good without the boss's consent, right?"
Luo Rui didn't care: "It's okay, we won't touch the things in the store, we are just borrowing them temporarily."< br>
After saying that, Luo Rui looked at Zhao Ming's hand. He was holding a transparent bag with two bullet casings in it.
Zhao Ming saw his eyes, raised his hand and said: "The gangster on the third floor was shot three times. I only found two bullet casings at the scene. The bullet casings were all shot by our police. "
Luo Rui's eyes became more and more confused: "Are they all from the same gun? "
"No!" Zhao Ming shook his head: "From two guns... you come with me."
Luo Rui followed him.
"Judging from the blood stains at the scene, this gangster..."
Luo Rui reminded: "This man's name is Zeng Mo, the leader of this group of gangsters."
"The place where he was shot was at the entrance of the game arcade." Zhao Ming pointed to a game arcade in front.
"After a bullet hit his shoulder, he probably fired back. I picked up the shell casing of the gun he was carrying at the scene. Then he ran all the way to the elevator and hid with the police officer he was shooting at.< br>
Then, he ran more than ten meters, and a bullet fired from the side hit his left waist. "
Seeing the direction Zhao Ming was pointing, Luo Rui jumped out of his pocket. He took out a laser pointer, and the purple light shone into the opposite corridor.
Zhao Ming nodded: "Yes, that's the location. The dropped bullet casing was also picked up on the opposite side."
"Didn't he get shot three times?" Luo Rui asked Said: "I have seen the photos in the information. Zeng Mo was shot in the head."
"That's right." Zhao Ming pointed to the fourth floor. "I've seen the body. The shot in his head should have been shot from the fourth or fifth floor."
Luo Rui moved the laser pointer to the fourth floor, and the green light spot stopped. At the railing.
Zhao Ming continued: "But I did not find bullet casings on the fourth and fifth floors."
"Director Zhao, what is your judgment?"
"Autopsy The report has not been released, how can I judge? We will know the situation by taking out the bullet from the gangster.”
Luo Rui heard what he meant, and Zhao Ming also felt that the shot was very strange.
Zeng Mo was the leader, but he did not escape. Moreover, he was killed immediately like a younger brother.
Although he was shot twice by the police, he would not die immediately.
And Luo Rui knew very well that when he and Liang Jun were preparing to leave the mall, the police officers who were ambushing in the mall had also begun to evacuate. It was impossible for police officers to be on the fourth and fifth floors.
And Zeng Mo was also the murderer of Qi Lei. The place where he fell was exactly where he shot at the first floor.
He was then shot in the head by a bullet fired from a height.
The captured gangsters confessed that they did not know who their employer was. They only knew that their boss had contacted the other party to plan and implement the attack.
Then this is a proper killing and silencing.
At that time, this person had been staying on the fourth or fifth floor, observing the situation downstairs from a high position.
As for Zhao Ming not finding the bullet casing, this is very simple. After the revolver is fired, the bullet casing remains in the runner and will not fall out.
This can be proven by opening Zeng Mo's head and taking out the bullet.
Then, the members of the criminal team placed the puppets in the designated positions and each stood in the shooting position.
They took out the laser pointers they carried and pressed the button. The green light was like a ballistic trajectory, crisscrossing the mall like a woven net.
