Chapter 9 Julien VIII

Wang Hongliang was in his prime, but he was half-drenched in wine, and he looked like he was fading before he got old. The fat on his cheeks slackened to the level of his chin. At first glance, he looked like a Shar Pei conspiring to subvert all mankind.

Leaning forward, he observed the detained Ma Xiaowei, while holding a cigarette between the clouds and puffing out mist, a part of Nantianmen was sprayed out.

Ma Xiaowei was too thin, and almost lost a pitiful look of childishness. Even when he was alone, his whole body was still tense, and his eyes that were about to fall out of his sockets seemed to be unable to stay for a long time.

Wang Hongliang tilted his head and stared at him, and said to the people next to him: "So, they brought people back to the city bureau in a sullen way?"

Standing next to him is the person in charge of the criminal investigation team of the sub-bureau. This person has no sense of existence when handling the case. The command basically depends on the trend, and the conclusion basically depends on the leader. He picked up an ashtray from the side, leaned in and took Wang Hongliang's cigarette butt: "Xiao Haiyang reported this."

"I didn't expect this, I really didn't expect this, it just doesn't look real-how can there be such a coincidence in the world?" Wang Hongliang laughed, seeing his teeth but not seeing his eyes, he became a Shar Pei who turned over from a serf and sang. , "No wonder the fortune teller said that although I have a hurdle this year, I can always meet a noble person and turn bad luck into good luck. The 30,000 yuan peace charm is somewhat useful. In addition to success and failure, Xiao Haiyang can also have a little bit of luck. use."

The person beside him respectfully asked: "Wang Ju, what do you think now?"

"Luo Wenzhou stretched out his hands too fast," Wang Hongliang reached out and brushed the sparse hair on top of his head. "Otherwise, just because the major suspects are relatives of the leaders of the Municipal Bureau, they would be able to get out of my sight."

As he spoke, he turned around a few times and waved his hand: "It's okay, let it go. Luo Wenzhou is not afraid of being scolded by others for their favoritism, what am I afraid of? Now that there is a second suspect, it just means that this case is better than ours. The imagination is much more complicated. It was originally a case of murder and dumping of corpses. It was all because of the misleading testimony of the nearby people that disrupted the direction of the investigation. The noise they heard had nothing to do with this case. Well, as long as it's not the 'West Side', they can check it out. We fully support the city council's work."

"Officer Wang is bold and careful," the person in charge of the criminal investigation team of the sub-bureau complimented him with a smile, and said, "You have to introduce me to the place where you ask for the talisman, it's really clever."

"Well, you can report my name when you go, it will give you a lot cheaper." Wang Hongliang reached out and patted his subordinate's shoulder, "Man, when you get to this age, you will find many things that you can't believe, such as promotion and making a fortune. It all depends on fate—by the way, doesn’t it mean that the family members of the deceased are coming soon, and they will be sent to the city bureau together.”

After he finished speaking, he walked out, suddenly remembered something again, looked back at Ma Xiaowei, and said meaningfully: "Look at this child, at first glance, it is not very conspicuous, but in fact, if you look closely, he looks really auspicious and very good. It means that the heaven is full and the earth is square."

The subordinates next to me are unknown.

"That's why," Wang Hongliang smiled, "he has a great fate!"

When the entire Flower Market District Bureau was studying theology, the Yancheng District Bureau revealed a heavy depression.

Tao Ran came out of the interrogation room, leaning against the wall so tired that he let out a sigh of relief, because it is said that Zhang Donglai had a fever and burned his brain when he was a child. , can continue to speak - this is also the good-tempered Tao Ran, someone else would have flipped the table long ago.

Luo Wenzhou was waiting for him at the door, holding a USB flash drive in his hand, turning it back and forth between his fingers unconsciously. Xiao Haiyang, who was watching the interrogation, seemed a little afraid of him, and kept a certain distance from him.

Luo Wenzhou raised his eyes, "How is it?"

"Zhang Dong said that he might have had some drinks that day, and saw a social youth pestering his sister, thinking it was a hooligan, and on a whim, he beat someone in the past. Afterwards, he didn't remember which social youth was beaten, and showed him a photo of the deceased. , he only said that he was a little familiar, not sure. And according to him, he never apologized to anyone, and he never gave anyone a mobile phone - I think the latter sentence is true, and the kid doesn't feel that he hit anyone What's wrong." Tao Ran pinched the bridge of his nose, "By the way, did Fei Du come here just now?"

"It's gone," Luo Wenzhou responded, then remembered something, and glared at Tao Ran again, "That little bastard is getting more and more bastards, you're used to it."

Tao Ran: "..."

He always thought the complaint sounded odd.

Luo Wenzhou stretched out his hand and flicked it, then threw the USB flash drive in his hand to him: "Go check it out, there may be some useful things in it."

Tao Ran took it over inexplicably: "What is this?"

"I don't know, but I guess it's the surveillance inside and outside the Chengguang Mansion." Luo Wenzhou glanced at the irritable Zhang Donglai through the surveillance, "I've seen his sister, a pretty normal girl, call her to confirm Zhang Donglai. If it’s not reliable, I’ll go and tell Bureau Zhang.”

However, the second time Luo Wenzhou went to the director's office, he didn't see the old director himself.

A stocky man raised his head and gave Luo Wenzhou a pleasant nod, "Here you come?"

This man is about the same age as Zhang Ju, and there is an old scar on his right eyebrow, which runs from his forehead to his eyelids, but he doesn't look fierce, and the whole person still looks kind.

Luo Wenzhou was a little surprised: "Officer Lu?"

Bureau Lu's name is Lu Youliang. He is the deputy of Bureau Zhang. He was born as an old criminal policeman. In the age of immature technology, he participated in solving many major cases and caught countless vicious criminals. He is one of the legends of Yancheng Bureau. No matter how serious people are in front of him, they have to restrain themselves.

"Well, what's the matter, tell me for a while, Lao Zhang is avoiding suspicion—you guys, you really shouldn't bring people back. If anyone is suspected, take them away and investigate on the spot. What do you mean by bringing him back? Are you planning to cover up for personal gain, or is there no silver tael here?" Lu Ju sighed, and reached out to point Luo Wenzhou, "Wenzhou, you are good at everything, but sometimes you have too many hearts, and you are young. , slicked over."

Luo Wenzhou kept his expression still, glanced out, glanced across the empty corridor, and then cautiously returned his hand and closed the door: "Uncle Lu."

Bureau Lu was stunned.

"There's a detective from the sub-bureau downstairs, called Xiao Haiyang," Luo Wenzhou kept his voice very low, "When he first reported the case to us, he said 'the possibility that it is not the first scene cannot be ruled out'. I think this sounds a bit unnatural, because whether it is the first scene, we have to judge based on the evidence of forensic medicine and physical evidence. If there are no obvious features, the evidence collection has not yet ended, and few people will discuss what is here. The corpse was still thrown at the scene. Wang Hongliang also reacted and immediately reprimanded him in front of me. I didn’t take it too seriously, I just thought that this Xiao Haiyang’s way of thinking might be different from that of ordinary people.”

Bureau Lu said in a deep voice, "I don't quite understand what you mean."

"Officer Zhang asked me to investigate Wang Hongliang," Luo Wenzhou said. "I just received a report from an informant, suspecting that Wang Hongliang had colluded with the drug gang in Huacheng District."

Bureau Lu frowned: "The Huacheng District is an advanced anti-drug."

"Yeah, don't you wonder where they got so many to catch a quasi informant?" Luo Wenzhou said quickly, "The whistleblower said that they have an 'officially licensed' drug-trafficking network, and they did not join it. Organized, once you step into the jurisdiction of Huacheng District, you will be caught immediately."

Bureau Lu: "Where's the evidence?"

"We're collecting," Luo Wenzhou said, "Speaking of this murder case, yesterday we accidentally got the testimony of the people nearby, saying that around nine o'clock, we heard people arguing near the scene of the crime, and then Wang Hongliang quickly arrested a person suspected of being involved in the crime. The teenager who appeared at the scene at the time was very thin, his eyes wandered, his speech was incoherent, he was always in fear, and his testimony was leaked, but no matter how he tried, he insisted that he had never seen anyone at the crime scene—now we do have evidence , I suspect that the deceased may have been thrown away after death—then the question is, if the quarrel heard by the nearby residents has nothing to do with this murder, why did the teenager who was taken as a suspect dare not tell the truth at first? Why did Haiyang clearly hint to us that it was not the first scene from the beginning? Is it possible that he knew from the beginning that there was no murder in that place?"

Bureau Lu couldn't help standing up and turned around a few times.

"Uncle Lu," Luo Wenzhou said, "there are many and various clues here, and many things are very ambiguous. I suspect that these two cases are intertwined. Tao Ran and that Xiao Haiyang found Zhang Donglai by coincidence. If I didn't bring the person back immediately, Wang Hongliang would probably have used the topic to force Zhang Bureau and us to stop intervening. The kid who was arrested earlier might die of 'drug overdose' in the precinct tomorrow morning. It can be attributed to the nonsense after drug use, the murder suspect is an arrogant rich second generation."

Bureau Lu asked, "What are you going to do?"

"For the time being, make Zhang Donglai a key suspect," Luo Wenzhou said. "As long as we take our eyes off the west side of the flower market on the surface and unravel these two entangled cases, Wang Hongliang is likely to move the boat along and transfer the murder case to us. ."

The criminal investigation team worked overtime to check the surveillance video provided by Fei Du. It was already late at night when Luo Wenzhou returned home. As soon as he opened the door, he heard a "meow" and a Chinese pastoral cat stuck its head out.

Luo Wenzhou stretched out his feet and gently pulled it into the house: "What meow, I haven't eaten yet... eh?"

He found a new package in the mailbox at the door. He picked it up and looked at it. It was written in some familiar block letters: "The recipient, Luo Wenzhou."

Luo Wenzhou opened the package. Inside was a sealed evidence bag containing a few cigarette butts.
