Chapter 86 Macbeth (twenty-seven)

Fei Du always fell asleep unknowingly. Sometimes he would wake up intermittently for a while, but he still hadn't reacted, and he didn't know which dimension he had passed out into, and he almost completely lost the concept of time and space.

This experience was very new to him, as if after a long hibernation, his brain was never so empty before restarting and crashing.

After about three days, he had a vague concept of his surroundings, vaguely remembering that he was blown into the hospital by a bomb. He could give some simple responses when the medical staff came over. Feeling that someone is coming to visit - because someone is not paying attention, he often touches him a few times where there is no injury or chasing. This kind of behavior really does not meet the standard of medical ethics.

However, the intensive care unit is only allowed to visit for half an hour a day, and only one person can enter at a time. Fei Du is in a coma or semi-conscious state most of the time. He has no concept of time. It is really difficult to coordinate with this short "visiting" period. To be able to respond with a slight movement of his eyelids or fingers when a visitor calls him, is already considered a lot of fate with the visitor.

Wearing an isolation suit and shoe covers, Tao Ran hurried out and said excitedly, "When I called him, I saw his eyelashes move!"

"Impossible," Luo Wenzhou said. "I just went in and woke up the guy next to me. He didn't respond at all. You must have read it wrong."

Tao Ran didn't hear him being unhappy at all: "I really moved, more than once. If the doctor hadn't urged me to come out, I might have seen him open his eyes."

Luo Lai Shen became more and more angry: "That must be what I called, you hitchhiker-bring me the isolation suit, I want to go in again, I have to ask him to move me again..."

Fortunately, at this time, Luo Wenzhou's mother, Ms. Mu Xiaoqing, arrived in time, and before the doctors and nurses blasted the two goods out, they took them away by themselves.

Mu Xiaoqing first said to Luo Wenzhou, "Your words are very familiar to me, you were still curled up in my stomach at that time, and you haven't grown so big now, your dad is like this, he has to let you move one for him. Look, ignoring him and poking you across the stomach, I think your brain is not working right now, because you were poked by his powerful Vajra finger back then."

Luo Wenzhou: "..."

Let's not argue for rumors and slanders like "the brain is not good." The ethical relationship contained in this analogy seems a bit strange.

Immediately, Ms. Mu turned to Tao Ran again, and said in a kind tone of "caring for the mentally disabled, everyone is responsible": "So we can't have the same knowledge as him."

Tao Ran: "..."

It was only now that he vaguely noticed that Luo Wenzhou seemed to be a little sour.

Mu Xiaoqing instructed Luo Wenzhou and Tao Ran as coolies, took out a few boxes of drinks and fruits in her car, and sent them to the nurse station and the attending doctor's office respectively. When they passed the family waiting area, the TV on the wall was broadcasting local news— The report is about the whole story of Zhou Huaijin's self-directed and self-acted kidnapping case.

Luo Wenzhou and Tao Ran stopped at the same time, Mu Xiaoqing understood, took the cigarette from Luo Wenzhou's body, and went back first.

"...In other words, after you heard about the car accident, you decided to plan such an incident. Can I ask why?" asked the reporter who was granted exclusive interview rights.

"Revenge." Zhou Huaijin, wearing a brightly colored uniform, sat in front of the camera without any decoration, but his posture was casual, his eyes were firm, and the nobleman's temperament seemed to be still there, he said, "because of some rumors chasing the wind. , my father has always held grudges against me, and I have had a hard time under his shadow over the years."

The reporter asked: "Does it mean that he has treated you? Is the family strong?"

Zhou Huaijin smiled and said very skillfully: "It's more unimaginable than an ordinary family bào force, I once thought he wanted to kill me. Our family has such a relationship in private, and we have to pretend that the family is harmonious and show it to outsiders. Look, until I am an adult, I am still under his control. If it is not because he is dead, I cannot go back to China casually. In addition, I can also responsibly say what my father Zhou Junmao and Zheng Kaifeng did in some matters. For, it is unacceptable to me."

"for example?"

"For example, using cross-border enterprises to participate in illegal profit-making, vicious business competition, and even doing some illegal and criminal things." Zhou Huaijin said, "I can't agree, especially when I heard that he had an illegitimate child, which made me very angry. It may be a bit cold-blooded, but when I first heard the news of his death, I didn't feel shocked and sad for the first time, but began to think about how to use this incident. In the end, I chose to use this more extreme method to uncover him. The painting skin, and then frame this incident on the illegitimate child with a mysterious origin, killing two birds with one stone - that's what I planned."

"It's inconvenient for you to go back to China, so you still have a helper."

"Yes, Hu Zhenyu is my classmate and an old friend of mine for many years. When he entered the Zhou family, he hid his identity. Only those close to us know our relationship."

Next, everything on the camera showed the evidence to the audience in front of the TV - there were secret email exchanges between Hu Zhenyu and Zhou Huaijin using secret codes to communicate with each other, the receipt paid by Zhou Huaijin when he hired the "kidnapper", the confession of the "fake kidnapper", etc. Wait.

"Usually, for such a sensational criminal case, relevant reports will not be broadcast until at least a few months later," Tao Ran said, "This time, the situation is special, and the media and Zhou Huaijin have been in a hurry to prepare. Zhou Huaijin can not mention him. It's not easy to tell the truth about those 'personal and illegitimate things' ——By the way, I'll go up for you to check, I'll listen to Bureau Lu, and it'll be fine after the limelight has passed for a while."

Luo Wenzhou's face did not show any joy, and he reached out to Tao Ran.

Tao Ran was very understanding. He looked around and took out a box of cigarettes in his pocket. The two of them, like college students who skipped class, sneaked out of the inpatient department and ran to a secluded corner.

Luo Wenzhou threw his crutches aside, dangling his feet and holding a cigarette: "How is the internal trial?"

"No progress," Tao Ran sighed, "Everyone reviewed it from beginning to end, it's really like trying a prisoner, but fortunately, even you have been suspended immediately this time. Everyone knows that this is a serious matter and is more cooperative— But I really didn't see anyone having a problem, and according to the exclusion method, I'm afraid it can only be me."

"When Zhou Huaijin was interrogated, anyone who could see the surveillance cameras knew what he said," Luo Wenzhou thought for a while, then said, "But tell me, before going downstairs, Yang Bo received photos of the brothers who followed him that night. , that's kind of weird."

In order to standardize management last year, the city bureau just replaced the "mobile office system" for field work. After a job is filed, if you need to go out to work, you need to register under the relevant column. In case of emergency, you can come back and make up the procedures, but The person in charge is required to sign, and generally for less urgent matters such as stalking, everyone's registration is more diligent than gān.

The stalking for Yang Bo was to change shifts every four hours. At the beginning, there was a shift schedule, but when it came time to work, members of the same group would often change shifts in a mess. Luo Wenzhou usually only contacted the group leader if he had something Without logging into the office system to check, even he didn't know if the people on the duty list were being followed that night.

But the photo information in Yang Bo's hand is indeed very accurate.

Tao Ran nodded: "Indeed, I know who was following the people that night, either from the field team or someone who logged into the attendance system."

"Those who have the right to check the attendance status, there are only you and me in the entire criminal investigation team, as well as the leaders at the level of deputy director and above of each department in the bureau," Luo Wenzhou's voice was almost as light as the white smoke rising from his fingers, "Or That inner ghost is among us, or someone hacked into the system we spent a lot of money to build, and the network supervisors are all rubbish, and they don’t even know what kind of answer do you prefer?”

Tao Ran felt that all of them sounded quite painful, so he wiped his face wearily. After a while, he slapped his heart again and said, "There are two more good news, do you listen?"

Luo Wenzhou pointed to his ears.

"With Hu Zhenyu's cooperation, the current investigation against Zhou is relatively smooth. There may be solid evidence that their three public welfare funds are involved in account fraud and cross-border money laundering. In addition, they are also suspected of spreading rumors in China and manipulating the market. , malicious smearing of competitors, and bribery.”

"We're not leading the investigation of the economic case," Luo Wenzhou stretched out his arms and flicked soot into the trash. "What else?"

"I haven't finished - because there is evidence over there, so we asked for assistance from abroad - do you remember the mysterious shell company that Zheng Kaifeng paid his thugs? It was paid in the name of 'service fee' last year. I paid a deposit, and I paid the final payment a while ago. The time for paying the deposit coincided with when Dong Qian started sending and receiving emails frequently, and the final payment was just the day after Zhou Junmao’s car accident.”

Luo Wenzhou was stunned: "How much?"

Tao Ran: "It adds up to eight figures."

Luo Wenzhou immediately said, "But we didn't find the money."

"The deposit amount is not large, it is stored in an overseas account, the account is opened by a shell company, and the person in charge has run away, but this shell company has sent things to Dong Gan, and there should be a connection between them. The balance of payment has not been traced for the time being. It is suspected that after entering the country through the underground bank, before it could be paid to Dong Gan, the two brothers from the Zhou family both reported to the police and planned a kidnapping case, which led the police to intervene in the investigation.” Tao Ran said, “Zhou Junmao On the night of the accident, Yang Bo, as the secretary of the chairman, once called Zhou Junmao's driver to greet him and chat. The driver said that he seemed to have revealed what car Zhou Junmao was in during the call. In addition, we found it in the basement of Zheng Kaifeng's Yancheng villa. tools for making handmade bombs."

Luo Wenzhou tapped his knee lightly: "You mean that Zheng Kaifeng and Yang Bo conspired, one to buy the murderer, the other to act as an insider, to plan Zhou Junmao's car accident, and then Zheng Kaifeng knew that the incident might be exposed, and wanted to take Yang Bo to flee in a hurry. As a result, it was blocked by us, so the bombs that were previously installed under the cargo compartment were activated, and they were going to die together?"

"It seems that the speculation is this." Tao Ran said, "there is still a little bit of key evidence."

Luo Wenzhou fell silent—from Zhou Junmao's car accident to the series of bizarre incidents that followed, it was all in the dark. Whether it was the criminal police team or the investigation against Zhou, they were all stagnant. But as soon as Zheng Kaifeng died, the city bureau was the same as the transfer, everything went smoothly, and a rough truth was spelled out.

"I have a feeling," Luo Wenzhou said suddenly, "the key evidence shouldn't be hard to find, and this case may be closed soon."

Tao Ran was stunned for a moment and heard something in his words.

Luo Wenzhou put out the cigarette butt: "I've been thinking about one thing for the past two days. I don't know if it's a coincidence - Fei Du's father was also in a vegetative state because of a car accident."

Tao Ran: "..."

He was prepared to listen carefully, thinking that Luo Wenzhou, who had been suspended from work in the hospital and still cared about his work, could have any insights.

Tao Ran still couldn't understand how these two people who had been pinching each other when they met back then got together, and one of them had the intention of going crazy - he couldn't stand it without Fei Du in three words.

"Hold it for another two days," Tao Ran patted his shoulder, "The doctor said that he will wake up in a few days, and his condition will be a little more stable, and he will be able to enter the general ward. Then you can watch as long as you like, okay? "

"Can you have some serious business in your mind?" Luo Wenzhou rolled his eyes at him, "I'm serious with you—I've been idle in the hospital for the past two days, and I went to check the program you told me about studying last time. It was still a radio station at the time, and I sneaked out several times before I found an announcer who was there in the past, and he found me the notes of the show at that time."

Tao Ran subconsciously sat upright.

"We didn't notice the 'reader' ID at the time, because the time of the narrator's appearance was not at the time of Lao Yang's accident, but a little bit forward, just at the time of Fei Du's father's car accident. Wuthering Heights"."

Tao Ran was speechless for a moment.

The mysterious book-listening program, the meaningful on-demand audience, the suspected cause of death of the old criminal policeman, and the nerve-racking car accidents... all of these sound too mysterious. There seems to be an invisible net in the middle of the world. It is spread under this peaceful and prosperous world. You have to sneak into the deepest place to come across a clue-because it is so bizarre that even if you see it with your own eyes, you will feel that it is your own illusion.

"If it weren't for the fact that I was paranoid about this," Tao Ran said after a while, "I might have thought that you suffered from a concussion and left behind injuries—I really wish Fei Du would be alive and kicking tomorrow."

Fei Du, only Fei Du might know what happened in that "Wuthering Heights" back then—if such a "Wuthering Heights" really existed.

"But for so many years, he hasn't revealed a word, and he didn't show any unusual behavior," Tao Ran said. "I said, is that kid's city deeper than the Mariana Trench, or are we both out of our minds?"

"Mariana Trench" spent another two days in the ICU, and was finally "released after serving his sentence", and was moved to a single room that was allowed to be visited at any time.

The illness moved back and forth, and was moved around again, and Fei Du was awakened no matter how weak his strength was.

He struggled to open his eyes. He didn't know whether it was because of the medication or simply lying down for too long. The world was spinning and he couldn't see anything clearly. Fei Du was very unaccustomed to such a situation at the mercy of others. He was cruel in the suddenly bright environment. He frowned and closed his eyes forcefully, trying to struggle to figure out what he was in. Suddenly, his eyes were suddenly covered by something.

Then a warm lips touched his forehead lightly, and the familiar touch made Fei Du quiet.

"I'm here," the man whispered in his ear, "nothing, just rest and wake up."
