Chapter 48: Clues and Disappointment
"Tong Bainian, you are willing to cooperate, which is quite good. Li was also very satisfied with Tong Bainian's attitude, and then asked, "Then I want to ask you now, where did the Inhuman Elixir you took when you fought with Huo Qisheng come from." ”
"Bought. Tong Bonian replied.
"Where did you buy it?" asked Ye Mengying on the side.
"I bought it from someone I didn't know through a small advertisement. ”
Small ads?
Li Ye and Ye Mengying glanced at each other, and secretly said in their hearts that this Tong Bainian's heart is quite big, he even believes in the things on the small advertisement, and dares to buy them, and the key is that he dares to eat them in the end.
Li Ye's expressions were seen by Tong Bainian, and Tong Bainian knew what they were trying to say, and his old face couldn't help but blush.
To be honest, Tong Bonian also felt very strange, why did he believe the nonsense on the advertisement at that time?
"Then do you remember what the name of the person who sold you the Inhuman Elixir was and what he looked like?" Ye Mengying asked.
"I don't know what the man's name is, I only know that his nickname is Xiao Hei, and as for what he looks like, I've never seen it. ”
Although Tong Bainian wanted to cooperate, he couldn't give a satisfactory answer to Ye Mengying's two questions, so Tong Bainian's expression couldn't help but look very depressed when he answered.
"You haven't seen what that guy named Xiao Hei looks like, so how did you make a deal with him?" Ye Mengying frowned and asked suspiciously.
"There was a mobile phone number on that small advertisement, and Xiao Hei contacted me through that mobile phone throughout the transaction process, telling me where to put the money for the transaction and where to pick up the goods. ”
According to Tong Bainian's answer, the person named Xiao Hei never showed up from beginning to end, which fully showed that Xiao Hei was an extremely cautious criminal with a considerable sense of anti-reconnaissance, and a criminal like this, Li Ye and Ye Mengying knew very well in their hearts that it was very difficult to deal with.
"Tong Bainian, don't you know anything about Xiao Hei?" Although Ye Mengying knew that Xiao Hei was very cunning, he was still unwilling to give up, and asked again.
"This ......"
Li Ye and Ye Mengying saw Tong Bainian's embarrassed look and thought that it was no show.
But just when the two of them were quite disappointed, Tong Bainian's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had thought of something.
"Officer, that little black may be from Xiaowang Village. ”
"Oh, what do you say?" Tong Bainian's words lifted the spirits of Li Ye and the others, and Ye Mengying asked first.
"That's right, that little black speaks with a distinct local accent, and from time to time there are some local dialects, I remember those dialects are from Songpu, and Xiaowang Village is in Songpu. Tong Bainian said in one breath, guessing where Xiao Hei was from also made him a little excited.
"Songpu District is so big, and there is more than one village, but how can you be sure that he is from Xiaowang Village?" Ye Mengying asked puzzled.
"Because I remember one time, when I was on the phone with Xiao Hei, I once heard the sound of a bus announcing from him, and the station of the report was Xiaowang Village. ”
After listening to Tong Bainian's explanation, Ye Mengying also agreed with his guess, at least the probability that "Xiao Hei" is from Xiaowang Village is indeed very high.
With a nickname and an address, it shouldn't be difficult to find "Little Black".
Li Ye and Ye Mengying glanced at each other again, and they both saw excitement in each other's eyes.
"Tong Bainian, do you have anything else in mind?" Ye Mengying asked.
"It's gone. Tong Bonian shook his head.
"Okay, Tong Bainian, you can rest first! ”
Li Ye saw that Tong Bainian really couldn't think of anything this time, so he was about to leave with Ye Mengying, but as soon as the two walked to the door, when Li Ye was about to raise his hand to pull the doorknob, Tong Bainian suddenly stopped them.
"Wait!"
"Is there anything else?" Li Ye and Ye Mengying looked back in surprise.
"Two police officers, do you want me to give you Xiao Hei's phone number. ”
"No need!" Li Ye smiled slightly and shook his head at Tong Bainian.
Tong Bainian behaved so positively, it seems that he really wants to cooperate, but the Intelligence Bureau has already checked Tong Bainian's call records one by one, and locked a suspicious number from it.
Unfortunately, after subsequent investigation by the Intelligence Bureau, it was found that the suspicious phone number was an illegal number that could not be traced.
Pulling open the door, Li Ye and Ye Mengying had just walked out of the ward, but they heard Tong Bainian's shouts behind them.
"Two police officers, you must catch that bastard who killed me, help me, help me, help ......"
Li Ye and Ye Mengying, who had already got the clue at the beginning, didn't plan to ignore Tong Bainian anymore, but then the two listened to Tong Bainian's words before they finished speaking, but their voices suddenly became deeper and lower, and finally stopped abruptly, and the two immediately realized that the situation was wrong, and quickly turned around and rushed back to the ward.
Drops –
The detector placed at the head of the hospital bed emitted a series of non-stop piercing chirps, and Li Ye and Ye Mengying saw Tong Bainian, who was fine just now, but at this time, his eyes were wide open, his body was constantly twitching, and his mouth was foaming at the mouth from time to time, which was obviously not good.
Seeing this, Li also hurriedly rushed to the side of the bed and pressed the call button at the head of the bed.
"Doctor!"
The anxious Ye Mengying couldn't wait to shout directly to the doctor while rushing out of the ward.
At 7 o'clock in the evening, in the conference room of the Investigation Section of the Special Administration Bureau, Jiang Zhenzhong sat on the main seat of the conference table and listened to the members of the task force talk about the results of the investigation obtained after a busy afternoon.
However, the more he listened, Jiang Zhenzhong's face became more and more gloomy, because whether it was through the investigation of the black market or the information provided by the informants, there were not too many valuable clues about the Inhuman Elixir.
After the other members of the task force had finished reporting the situation, it was finally the turn of Li Ye and Ye Mengying, who were sitting at the end of the conference table.
"Li Ye, what are the results of your investigation?" Jiang Zhenzhong asked, turning his gaze to Li Ye.
Li also felt the dissatisfaction and impatience in Jiang Zhenzhong's tone, and in order to prevent himself and Ye Mengying from becoming Jiang Zhenzhong's punching bag, he quickly got up and replied: "Deputy Director Jiang, according to our inquiry about Tong Bainian, the person who sold him the Inhuman Elixir was a local nicknamed Xiao Hei, and his family may live near Xiao Wang Village. ”
"Then have you gone to Xiaowang Village to investigate?"
"It's been investigated. Li also nodded.
"The result?"
"This ......" Li Ye was slightly embarrassed to hold the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and finally could only shake his head and say: "We asked from house to house in Xiaowang Village, but we didn't find anyone in the village with the nickname Xiao Hei. ”
"Is it!" Jiang Zhenzhong heard this, his face immediately turned cold, he stood up from the chair, and then pointed at Li Ye's nose and reprimanded: "Li Ye, what are you doing, people didn't find it for me, but killed me such an important witness as Tong Bainian, don't you want to do it." ”
In response to Jiang Zhenzhong's questioning, Li also pursed his lips and did not speak.
It turned out that after Tong Bainian was questioned by Li Ye and Ye Mengying, he was too emotional, resulting in sudden cardiac arrest.
Although Li Ye and the others immediately found a doctor to rescue Tong Bainian, they were still unable to rescue him in the end.
Tong Bonian, along with his two subordinates, Wang Han and Ma Chao, both died in a hospital bed due to severe organ failure in many parts of their bodies.
After that, Li Ye and Ye Mengying went to Xiaowangzhuang to search for the person nicknamed Xiao Hei according to the clues provided by Tong Bainian, but the two of them kept wandering around the entire village until it was dark, but they still found nothing.
However, it is true that Li Ye and Ye Mengying failed to find Xiao Hei is a disappointing thing, but then again, the investigation is like this, sometimes the clues may be in front of you, but whether you can catch it Sometimes in addition to the efforts of the investigators, there is also a considerable part of luck.
As for Tong Bainian's death, it was completely an accident, if Li Ye and Ye Mengying were to blame, it was basically nonsense.
Therefore, Jiang Zhenzhong's rebuke of Li Ye, a discerning person knew at a glance that Jiang Zhenzhong was deliberately looking for Li Ye's stubble because the case had not progressed and his mood was not smooth.
Of course, Li Ye also knows this, but Jiang Zhenzhong is a high-ranking deputy director of the Special Management Bureau, and Li Ye is just a small team leader of the Investigation Bureau, and the two are not of the same magnitude at all.
Jiang Zhenzhong saw that Li Ye did not defend himself, and he couldn't help but feel even more depressed, and felt like a punch on the cotton.
This made Jiang Zhenzhong, who was still angry, couldn't help but reprimand Li Ye again: "Li Ye, I know that you have solved a lot of cases in the Investigation Bureau over the years, but don't think that you can lie on the corpse in the past credit book, I warn you that if this situation occurs again next time, I will let you roll up and get out of the house immediately." ”
Facing Jiang Zhenzhong, who was furious, the other members of the task force in the office couldn't help but look at Li Ye with very sympathetic eyes.
Alas, Li was so unlucky, obviously he didn't do anything wrong, but he had to be reprimanded for nothing. But there is no way, who made Deputy Bureau Jiang unhappy by letting the case not progress! Someone has to be cannon fodder!
But there was one person in the conference room who didn't think so, and this person was Ye Mengying.
When Jiang Zhenzhong reprimanded Li Ye at the beginning, Ye Mengying was intimidated by Jiang Zhenzhong's momentum, and he didn't react for a while, so he followed Li Ye to listen to the training.
But later, seeing that Jiang Zhenzhong was getting more and more energetic, Ye Mengying finally came back to her senses, and her dissatisfaction with Jiang Zhenzhong's indiscriminate reprimands began to rise.
However, Li didn't speak, and Ye Mengying didn't speak easily, after all, Jiang Zhenzhong only mentioned Li Ye's name when he reprimanded.
It wasn't until Jiang Zhenzhong said "roll up and leave", Ye Mengying couldn't help it, and stood up from her seat.
"Deputy Director Jiang!"
Ye Mengying's soft, resolute voice sounded clearly in the conference room.
"Uh!" Jiang Zhenzhong's frustration in his heart at this time was almost vented, and he just wanted to say a few more words about Li Ye, so he planned to stop here, but he didn't expect Ye Mengying to suddenly appear at this time, which made Jiang Zhenzhong stunned.
"What's the matter?" Jiang Zhenzhong asked in a stiff tone.
"Jiang, Deputy Director Jiang!"
Ye Mengying originally wanted to refute Jiang Zhenzhong with full of righteous indignation, but when she really faced Jiang Zhenzhong's majestic gaze, her heart couldn't help but tremble, and the bunch of tirades that had been brewing in her heart for a long time just now were instantly forgotten, and her speech began to stutter.
If Ye Mengying was given another chance, she believed that even if she pricked her with a needle, she would definitely resist the urge to stand up.
But it's a pity that there is no if, so since Ye Mengying stood up and called Jiang Zhenzhong's name, it was impossible to sit back without saying something.
"Deputy Director Jiang, the team leader and I ran in Xiaowangzhuang for a day this afternoon, and our legs were about to break, and I couldn't find Xiao Hei, which only means that the clues provided by Tong Bainian are inaccurate. And Tong Bainian's attending doctor said that Tong Bainian's physical condition has been very bad since he was sent to the hospital, so he ......"
Ye Mengying was in a nervous mood, and mustered up the courage to say so much in one breath, but when it came to the last sentence she wanted to say, she was still a little hesitant.
But at this time, Jiang Zhenzhong didn't know that Ye Mengying was acting for Li Ye, or that she was also standing up for herself, and her face had already turned blue.
When Jiang Zhenzhong saw that Ye Mengying was timid at the last moment, he didn't want to let her go, so he asked in a cold voice: "So what?"
"So I don't think Deputy Director Jiang, you shouldn't blame the team leader. ”
Although Ye Mengying's voice was as light as a mosquito when she said this, the people in the entire conference room could hear it clearly.
For a while, in the conference room, everyone's faces couldn't help but become very exciting, some were worried, some were surprised, and even those who were ready to wait to see a good show.
