Chapter 373 The great mobilization after getting closer to the truth!
The atmosphere in the large conference room was stagnant. The criminal police officers looked serious, and the pens they held in their hands stopped on the paper, and they could hardly write anymore.
No one was moved when listening to Xiang Nan telling his experience.
Searching for his son for thousands of miles, he traveled to many provinces, went through hardships and dangers, encountered dangerous situations several times, and almost died, but Xiangnan still did not lose hope.
He took out a dirty notebook from his arms, the edges were torn.
Cai Xiaojing took the notebook in her hand, opened it, and saw that the accounts were written down one by one.
Restaurant owner in a place in Guizhou Province: 100 yuan, phone number is:...
The proprietress of a canteen in a certain place in Sichuan Province: a box of milk and a box of instant noodles, the phone number is:...
The owner of a car repair shop in Yunnan Province: There is no charge for replacing motorcycle tires. The phone number is:...
A homeless man somewhere in Hunan Province: 20 yuan in cash, no phone number left.
Owner of a breakfast shop in Hubei Province: two bowls of wontons and 50 yuan in cash, phone number:...
An advertising shop in Anhan City: Made a banner with photos of five children, totaling 88 yuan, no charge was made, and no contact information was left.
………………
Xiang Nan pursed his lips and said with a simple smile: "The total is 5,018 yuan and 8 cents. I will pay them back in the future, but they all said no. I insisted on them leaving their phone numbers. They said, if I find These five children must call and tell them.”
Hearing this, Cai Xiaojing burst into tears. She sniffed and handed the notebook to Lin Chen next to her.
After Lin Chen finished reading, he stood up directly: "Sorry, I'm going out for a while."
Opening the door of the conference room, she came to the corridor, took two steps forward, then turned around, and walked back a few steps. Finally, she squatted down and covered her face with her hands.
"Woooo..."
She couldn't hold it in anymore and tears burst out.
"Woooo..."
Lin Chen cried for a while, until a hand held her shoulder.
"What's wrong?"
"Team leader!" Lin Chen looked up at him, his eyes red and swollen: "We must find the remaining four children. It is too difficult. It is too difficult for the parents of the children."
"I know, we will." Luo Rui instantly understood what was going on.
He helped Lin Chen up and said, "What's going on inside now?"
Lin Chen wiped his tears with the back of his hand and sniffed: "Captain Cai is asking, but he didn't get any useful information."
"Okay." Luo Rui patted her shoulder, pushed open the door of the conference room, and stepped in.
Seeing his arrival, everyone stood up.
Luo Rui looked at Xiang Jiajun, then pressed his hand to everyone: "Everyone, please sit down."
Seeing the members of the criminal team tightening their lips and looking sad and angry, Luo Rui sighed. Cases involving women, children, old and young were the most difficult and intolerable.
Tian Guanghan handed the account book in his hand to Luo Rui. He looked at it for a while and said, "Write down the names and phone numbers of these people above, and call them one by one to thank them in the name of the Municipal Bureau."
"Yes." Tian Guanghan handed the account book to Chu Yang and waited for him to make records on the computer.
After Luo Rui sat down, he looked at the parents sitting opposite.
"Starting from today, we will do our best to solve the [1*23 case] five years ago. Don't worry, I, Luo Rui, put my words here. If the case is not solved, I will not leave Fengshui County!"
The parents nodded hurriedly, and Xiang Jiajun said: "Detachment Luo, I want to express my opinion to you. I know that everyone is a little suspicious of me. They think that Xiang Ke is not my child, so I am suspicious.
But what I want to say is that my wife... Huilan never told me that Xiang Ke was not my son. I never knew about it. I am not a murderer.
Moreover, even if I knew, I would not harm the child. If Xiang Ke was still alive, I would treat him as my own. ”
Luo Rui just stared at him without saying a word. Seeing that there was no trace of panic in his expression, he nodded slightly.
Xiang Nan said from the side: "Jiajun, we know who you are. You can't do such a thing. Don't worry, we don't doubt you."
The parents of several other children also nodded.
Among the four families, Xiang Nan's children, Xiang Ming and Xiang Tao, disappeared together. He lost two children at once, and his wife couldn't bear the pressure and divorced him.
The parents of Wu Yue and Ren Xiaoyong also looked for their children, but life must go on and they cannot dwell on the past. Both families have ushered in new life.
Guo Huilan is also pregnant. At this time next year, a new life will be born to fill the vacancies and regrets in their hearts.
Only Xiang Nan has been struggling to find his children.
His persistence, dedication and hardship are all seen by these parents and neighbors.
Hearing what he said, Xiang Jiajun let out a long breath, and the pressure was immediately relieved.
Luo Rui knocked on the table and asked: "Five years ago, on January 23, the morning of the Spring Festival, please think carefully about what happened and tell us about it."
Xiang Jiajun was the first to speak: "This morning, after I had breakfast, because a stage was set up in the suburbs, our family of three planned to go to the theater.
I remember that I took Xiang Ke downstairs with me. Huilan was cleaning up the dishes at home, and she came over after she was done.
After going downstairs, Xiang Ke saw Wu Yue and Ren Xiaoyong exploding firecrackers on the road. He clamored to play together and asked me to leave first. He would come over to me with his mother later, so I left first. ”
Luo Rui nodded: "What clothes was Xiang Ke wearing at that time?"
Guo Huilan replied: "A red coat, bought on the 28th of the year, a blue turtleneck sweater, a pair of jeans, and black leather shoes."
After she finished speaking, Luo Rui looked at Wu Yue's parents.
The two looked at each other, and the mother said: "On the morning of the Spring Festival, I heard the sound of firecrackers. The child couldn't stay at home and kept clamoring to go downstairs to play. I couldn't resist him, so I had no choice but to agree. I was preparing in the kitchen at that time. During lunch, his father was watching TV. The child was wearing a blue down jacket, corduroy pants, and a pair of white sneakers.”
Ren Xiaoyong's father also followed: "I remember very clearly that our child was the first to go downstairs. He got up before dawn and couldn't help but go play. It must have been seven o'clock in the morning. During this period, I called him to come up. He came downstairs to eat glutinous rice balls. After eating, he went downstairs to play again.
At half past eight, I took a look from the window. In addition to our children, there were also two children from Lao Wu's family and Lao Xiang's family.
Xiaoyong was wearing a black cotton coat, blue jeans, and white sneakers. ”
Xiangnan said: "Our children Xiang Ming and Xiang Tao were the last to come downstairs. I remember it was after 8:30. My wife had a cold and hadn't gotten up yet.
I was in the kitchen making Chinese medicine for my wife, and the children got dressed and went downstairs.
Because I have a son and a daughter who are twins, both aged six years old, I went to the city to buy clothes for the Spring Festival and the county was not allowed to sell them. It’s that kind of one-piece doll suit, it’s furry...”
Hearing this, Luo Rui's expression condensed: "Doll costume? What kind of style?"
Xiang Nan gestured with his hands: "It's the kind that wears a hat. There are two ears on the hat. The color is brown. By the way, it looks a bit like a bear."
"What kind of bear?" Luo Rui asked hurriedly.
After changing from before, his expression suddenly became serious. Cai Xiaojing, Shen Huaimin and others were a little confused.
Luo Rui was not so moved by what several parents said, but Xiang Nan's words made him nervous all of a sudden.
Xiang Nan hesitated, his speech was a little confused, and he couldn't describe it at once.
Luo Rui said to Chu Yang: "Take Mr. Xiang to the technical room and ask a drawing technician to draw this doll costume for me according to Mr. Xiang's description!
Director Shen, after the drawing is finished, find someone to buy me this dress. ”
Shen Huaimin and Chu Yang quickly agreed.
Luo Rui then looked at the other parents: "That's it for today. You go back first. I will inform you of the results."
These parents are not stupid. The Luo detachment in front of them has obviously grasped the key points of the case. Guo Huilan quickly asked: "Officer Luo, did you find anything?"
Luo Rui shook his head: "I have discovered something. According to discipline, I can't tell you, but don't worry, I believe this case will be solved soon."
After hearing what he said, everyone did not dare to say anything anymore and had no choice but to leave.
——————————————
At eight o'clock in the evening, Luo Rui, who was busy running around the county bureau, received a call from Xie Wanli.
Luo Rui couldn't spare the time at all. He originally planned to ask the other party to come directly, but due to the reputation and discipline, he had to give up. After all, Xie Wanli looks good, and she looks like a business elite.
The two met in the park outside the county bureau. Luo Rui arrived later and saw Xie Wanli sitting on a bench with her expensive handbag on her knees.
After seeing Luo Rui, she quickly stood up: "Mr. Luo."
Luo Rui pressed his hands towards her, then put his hands into his coat pockets and sat at one end of the bench.
His actions made Xie Wanli's smile freeze a little.
It was obvious that Luo Rui didn't want to be too intimate with her, and he seemed to resist even meeting her. When he saw that his eyes were not looking at her, but at the children running around in the park, he was completely He has the sneaky look of an underground worker.
Seeing that she was still stunned, Luo Rui greeted: "Sit down, don't just stand there."
"Okay... okay." Xie Wanli sat down Shiran and put her handbag on her knees as usual. She was wearing a white hip skirt and a professional suit. Her hair was carefully combed and her makeup was also very delicate. But the park was dark and no one noticed her beauty.
"Mr. Luo, you are too busy. I have been looking for you for several days and finally met you. Why did you choose a place like this?" Xie Wanli chatted a few words, trying to stir up the atmosphere.
According to her imagination, no matter what, she would have to find a coffee shop, or a banquet hall, or something relatively high-end, so that she could match her identity.
garden?
It’s really interesting. Only young couples would go to a place like this. It doesn’t cost anything, and it’s suitable...
There are a lot of mosquitoes in summer, the grass is a bit sharp, and the buttocks suffer.
Luo Rui sighed and glanced at her: "I have something to talk about. How are your arrangements?"
Seeing that her boss was not interested, Xie Wanli had to straighten her expression: "Fifty percent of Taihe Group's projects are mortgaged to banks to repay loans. The rest in Fengshui County are some non-performing assets with little investment value. , but some of Taihe’s assets in the city are high-quality projects, and we are fighting for them.”
"What else?"
"According to your request, we are ready to integrate Taihe Group's factories and real estate projects in Fengshui County. Although we can't make much money, we can also guarantee the wages of those workers.
However, according to the county's requirements, we must build the building in Taihe Plaza, otherwise they will not agree to our Hongguang acquisition and refuse to cooperate.
Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!
In addition, Wanda and Bi Guiyuan are also preparing to acquire the assets of Taihe Group, creating a three-way competition, so these people are emboldened and still dream of building that building. ”
Luo Rui laughed out loud in the dark night: "It seems that I was wrong. If you want to benefit the people, you must benefit the officials. I still don't see it through like Bai Kangyong."
"Mr. Luo, what should we do now?"
"Evacuate, there is no need to waste time in such a smoky place."
Xie Wanli nodded: "Okay, then let's fold."
After she finished speaking, Luo Rui stood up and prepared to leave.
At this time, Xie Wanli quickly shouted: "Mr. Luo..."
Luo Rui looked at her: "What's wrong?"
Xie Wanli licked her lips, thought for a while, and then said: "Can you find those children?"
"Yes." Luo Rui nodded slightly, glanced at her one more time, and then said, "Fortunately."
Xie Wanli smiled and stroked the broken hair on her temples.
Seeing Luo Rui's leaving figure, she sighed and murmured: "The Luo detachment is lucky."
——————————
At twelve o'clock in the night, in the large conference room of the county bureau, the criminal investigation meeting of [Case 1*23] was about to begin. Notices had been distributed to all departments of the county bureau.
It is not a simple matter for all departments to hold unified meetings, especially reporting work to the leaders, which is even more complicated.
First, each small meeting, prepare the content of the meeting and the work that needs to be prepared, so as not to face questions that cannot be answered at the meeting.
Shen Huaimin and Xu Chengzhi brought together the old gangsters in the county to study and judge the new clues of [Case 1*23] one by one.
After confirming that the bullet casings at the burial site were important physical evidence, Shen Huaimin asked the old gangsters to self-examine, learn, and reflect painfully on why the five trucks of soil had been stored for several months, but the technical police of the county bureau did nothing and instead let them The co-organizing police officer from the city bureau came to find out?
This is not a complicated technology that requires a certain amount of logical thinking, but as long as you do it and work a little hard, the credit will go to the county bureau, and it will not go to Director Zhao of the city bureau.
In addition, Xiang Ke's body is also a key factor. The county forensic examiner's report contains more than a dozen exclusions, ruling out this and ruling out that, but there is no single preferred cause of death. What is this?
This is a fucking sneaky, irresponsible, and daring attitude.
Zhao Chunlai dared to directly characterize the death as suffocation. You are also a forensic doctor. Why didn't you dare to write?
In addition, there are also confessions from the children's parents, which were entered five years ago and are very superficial. They are not as detailed as the questions asked by Luo Rui and others. They are so detailed that even the children's clothes must be carefully interrogated and recorded.
What's more important is that Shen Huaimin and Xu Chengzhi want to warn themselves by judging others. This is simply not correcting themselves, but taking out their anger on their subordinates.
The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. Don’t they understand?
Understand! But criticizing yourself is done in private, and face is more important than self-criticism.
In addition to them, Luo Rui and others, as well as Zhao's father and son, are also identifying and verifying new clues, hoping to make sure that there is nothing wrong, whether it is the cause of death or whether the bullet casing came from a TT-33 Soviet-style pistol. All must be verified carefully to be sure.
If you make a mistake and go astray, it's not just a joke, you have to take responsibility.
I stayed up until 12 o'clock in the night. The door to the large conference room was pushed open, and nearly a hundred police officers entered one after another.
Criminal police, forensics, trace inspection, and logistics are almost all here.
From the time Luo Rui and others arrived until today, this was the first serious criminal investigation meeting of [Case 1*23].
In the past few days, Luo Rui and the criminal police team dispatched by the city bureau have captured Bai Kangyong's criminal gang. This has made Luo Rui's prestige soaring. The police in the county bureau dare not look at him. Compared with the chief of the bureau, Shen Huaimin, He is even more frightening.
Luo Rui sat at the top without hesitation, next to Shen Huaimin, with a large electronic screen behind them
After everyone arrived, Luo Rui was about to stand up, but Shen Huaimin got the first step.
He coughed twice and said: "Comrades, [Case 1*23], five years have passed. It has been five years. We have been treating this case as a missing case.
It was not until March this year, when the remains of one of the children were found, that the case was classified as a homicide. But was it a premeditated murder or a killing of passion? We don't know yet.
I am here to thank Detachment Luo. Without his arrival, this case may have continued to be shelved and difficult to detect.
I believe everyone knows that we are holding this meeting tonight because we have made a major discovery. These clues were found by the staff of Luo Detachment and the Municipal Bureau..."
This is to flatter himself... Luo Rui mentally complained, no wonder Lao Shen is so active.
Before he said anything, Zhao Chunlai, who was sitting next to him, crossed his legs, holding a thermos cup in his hand, coughed, and rolled his eyes.
"I said, Shen Bureau, what time is it now? It will be early morning soon. How long will you want to make this opening statement? I am a lot of age, and I am not here to hear this from you.
If you really want to talk about something innocuous, then I'll squint for a while and ask you to wake me up later. ”
Hearing this, Shen Huaimin blushed. He didn't know Zhao Chunlai, but he was a senior forensic doctor in the city with profound skills. He didn't want to offend him, so he had to say angrily: "I'm wasting everyone's time, so let's invite Detachment Luo." Let’s talk about it.”
Luo Rui stood up without saying a single unnecessary word.
"The [1*23] case lasted five years. From the investigation in the past few days, we have discovered several situations.
First: The bullet casings screened out at the burial site confirmed that the bullet came from the TT-33 Soviet pistol model. This gun is a famous gun and is rarely used by people in China. This is the biggest clue!
Next, we need to find the source of the guns and thoroughly investigate the people who hide guns in Fengshui County, especially veterans and gun enthusiasts, and interrogate Bai Kangyong’s gang members to see if anyone has used or heard of this gun. Gun..."
Before he finished speaking, Xu Chengzhi said: "We have confiscated all the illegal guns used by Bai Kangyong and those people, and we did not find this gun."
"Looking for guns with people!"
Facing everyone's eager eyes, especially Tian Guanghan's eagerness to try, Luo Rui pointed at Chu Yang: "Chu Yang and Su Mingyuan, when you return to the city tomorrow, you two will be responsible for this matter!"
"Promise to complete the mission!" The two men replied immediately, with happy expressions on their faces.
Using people to find guns, and then using guns to find people, the murderer surfaced. This was a great achievement. Cai Xiaojing, Lin Chen, Tian Guanghan and Yang Bo had already made great achievements by catching Bai Kangyong. This job was naturally assigned to Luo Rui Chu Yang and Su Mingyuan cannot favor one over the other.
Although the people in the county bureau also wanted to join in, seeing that Luo Rui was leaning towards their own people, no one dared to say anything.
Then, Luo Rui nodded to Lin Chen, who operated on the computer and projected on the screen what Xiang Ming and Xiang Tao were wearing on the day they disappeared.
This is based on a painting by the father of two children. Indeed, as Xiang Nan said, this is a brown one-piece cotton doll with a deep hat, two ears standing on the hat, and a short tail at the back of the clothes. .
As soon as the picture came out, everyone understood what Luo Rui wanted to say.
"Everyone has seen that this dress is different from the clothes of the other three children. Both children are only six years old. As soon as they put on the hat, their faces were hidden in the hat. They zipped up and squatted on the ground. They looked like... Like a little bear?”
Hearing this, Shen Huaimin swallowed his saliva and said, "Detachment Luo, do you mean that these five children entered the mountain and were killed as prey by the murderers on the mountain?"
"I don't think it is entirely true, but I don't deny the possibility."
"But it was snowing heavily that day. Where did the brown bears come from? Bears have to hibernate. Besides, this is too incredible..."
Tian Guanghan took over: "I agree with the team leader's statement!
It is not impossible. For example, on the morning of the Spring Festival, the murderer went into the mountains to play with a gun to see if there was any prey to shoot. As I said just now, the murderer who owned the TT33 gun was undoubtedly a firearms enthusiast.
The two children squatted in the snow, and there were trees in the mountains to cover them. From a little distance, you might not be able to tell that the bear was lying down. He might have thought it was some other wild animal, so he shot the children. dead.
After this, other children heard gunshots and were frightened.
The murderer also realized that he had made a mistake at this time, but in order to bury the evidence, he had to kill all these children.
Among them, Xiang Ke was the oldest and the fastest runner, so the murderer must have killed the youngest children first, and then hurriedly chased Xiang Ke to the construction site in the southern suburbs, and then killed Xiang Ke!
This makes perfect sense, otherwise it would be unexplainable. In the past five years, no clues about the child have been found. It was not until this year that we found Xiang Ke’s body! ”
"Is there not a single child alive?" Shen Huaimin murmured. He didn't want to overturn this conclusion, but he couldn't believe it: "Were all five children killed?"
His tone was low, as if he was distracted, and the mood of the others also became heavy.
Luo Rui sighed deeply: "Now listen to my order. The focus of our work now is to organize a large number of people to search the mountain. Starting from the back mountain of Huainan Street and ending at the construction site in the southern suburbs, search for me inch by inch! < br>
There are two main goals of the search.
First: See if we can find the burial place. Except for Xiang Ke, the other four children may be buried in the mountains!
Five years ago we were looking for living people, now we are looking for their remains!
Second: The murderer must have had more than one gun when he committed the crime. He went hunting in the mountains. He didn't know how to use a TT33. He must have had a long gun. Let's see if he can find the bullet casings left behind!
We must dig deep and dig deep to find clues at any cost!
Whoever dares to be perfunctory, neglect their duties, slack off and shirk, I will strip off their police uniform! ! ”
