The sky had just brightened, the sun had not yet risen, and the misty southern slope of Longji Mountain was ravaged by wildfires.

The embers have been extinguished, and the air is full of the faint smell of plant ash left after the burning of trees and vegetation, and the grass ash on the ground happens to be a rare plant fertilizer in the mountains and forests, and the world of plants is such a wonderful reincarnation.

A pair of big scalp shoes are stepping on the ashes of the grass and trees steadily towards the depths of the mountains and forests, the owner of the big scalp shoes is about to touch the age of his early forties, short inch head Chinese character face, tiger back bear waist, sword eyebrows and eyes, a simple black shirt on the upper body, a pair of jeans washed to white on the lower body, his steps are steady and his eyes are firm, and he is a shrewd and capable man at a glance.

There were the ruins of a burned wooden house in the mountains and forests, and a fenced off had already been encircled around it, and a firefighter saw the man coming, and immediately stepped forward and asked sharply, "What are you doing?"

The man in black took out his police officer card from his back trouser pocket and lit it up, and said in a voice like Hong Zhong: "Criminal investigation team, Shi Jinshan." Where's your Captain Wang?"

When the firefighter saw that the person who came was the well-known captain Shi Jinshan of the criminal investigation team, he immediately became much more polite, lifted the isolation belt with his hand and said: "Captain Shi, please come in, our Captain Wang is over there, I have been waiting for you for a long time." ”

Shi Jinshan got into the blockade line with a cat's waist, followed the direction pointed by the fireman, and walked towards the ruins of the wooden house step by step, about ten meters away, and his eyes were attracted by the two black rumbling humanoid bodies in the ruins of the wooden house.

Captain Wang of the fire brigade was directing the team members to do the final finishing work, and when he saw Shi Jinshan coming, he immediately stepped forward with a tiger face and smashed a fist into his chest. "You stinky stone! I refused to come out of the class reunion several times, and if it wasn't for business today, I wouldn't have seen you, right?!"

Shi Jinshan didn't dodge or dodge, he took the punch with a tough chest, and said with a smile: "Old classmate, that's how you met me? Blatantly attacked the police in public, you better come with me." He put his hand on Captain Wang's shoulder, and after he finished speaking, he couldn't help but be happy.

"You, you, the same way you have not changed, how is it, everything is fine at home?" Captain Wang took off his fire hat, and the black ash on his face that was scorched by the smoke and fire had not had time to wipe it off, and there were beads of sweat hanging on the tips of his wet hair.

"Gossip is commonplace, let's talk about it later, let me see the situation of the corpse first. Shi Jinshan really couldn't leave the bank in three sentences, turned his head and strode towards the ruins of the wooden house.

The hut had been burned to the ground, with only the outlines of the ground remaining, and it was vaguely apparent that a house had once existed on the land.

The charred corpses on the ground have been burned black, and it is impossible to distinguish faces, and one of the corpses has a sharp weapon inserted in the heart of the front chest, and the handle of the sharp weapon has been burned and melted, and it seems that the fingerprints must not be verified.

Captain Wang came next to the two corpses and said, "My team found these two corpses when they inspected the fire, if it weren't for a sharp weapon on this corpse, I wouldn't have called you." I thought this fire was just an ordinary forest fire, but now it doesn't seem that simple, what do you think?"

Shi Jinshan nodded and looked at another corpse, and said: "Old classmate, you have given me another problem! Judging from the superficial situation, it looks like this forest fire caused by the burning of corpses after murder, but I have to wait for the forensic test results to come out to know the specific situation of the corpse, and the media ......."

"You can rest assured, the media must not leak the wind, just as an ordinary forest fire report. Captain Wang also knew that if this situation was stabbed to the media, it would definitely blow up the pot, and the case would not be able to be investigated.

"Well, I'll go first, and the forensic colleagues in the laboratory department will probably arrive later, and they will transport the body back to the bureau for examination. When this case is over, I'll come to the east and invite a few of our old classmates to a meal. Shi Jinshan arched his fists with both hands to signal that he was leaving.

"I have written down what you said, and when the time comes, I will release our pigeons again, and I will not spare you!" Captain Wang smiled at the corner of his mouth, and his face was full of exhaustion after fighting all night.

"Don't worry, you can't!" Shi Jinshan strode down the mountain, not minding the dust of the grass and trees staining his trouser legs and leather shoes.

The sun rose as usual, and the dazzling sunlight gilded Longji Mountain with a layer of golden yellow, and the dead wood had grown old, and the new shoots would be reborn. I believe that it will not be long before it will return to its former lush appearance.

…………

Jiangzhou City is a metropolis with a population of 10 million, although the crime rate is not high, but the big and small cases are still one after another, the only criminal investigation team in the police station has few manpower and many cases, and the daily work is mainly based on field work, the captain Shi Jinshan and the deputy captain Yu Deshui each lead a team to follow up different cases respectively, unless they are big and important, they generally rarely meet.

There is also a political commissar in the criminal investigation team, named Niu Jiayong, who joined the police force at the same time as the director of the bureau, and has reached the age of retirement. Usually not in charge of the case, mainly in the bureau to hold meetings to manage the daily work of the team, take care of the rear of the criminal investigation team, so that the two captains do not have to be distracted by these trivial matters. The three of them have a division of labor, each performing its own duties, and the cooperation is quite harmonious.

In the conference room of the criminal investigation team today, it was rare for the three major leaders to gather for a meeting, and the political commissar Niu Jiayong, who presided over the meeting, sat at the head of the table, and on both sides of the conference table sat Shi Jinshan and Yu Deshui and their capable cadres. Everyone held their breath and listened intently to Mao Cuihua's voice from the voice recorder on the table:

(My name is Mao Cuihua, from Maojia Village, Lagui Town, Yongfeng City, Haogui Province, I wanted to come to Jiangzhou City to work and earn some money to subsidize my family, but who knew that I was coaxed by a man named Zheng Shouyin to eat the drug as soon as I got off the train...... She sobbed as she spoke, and the recording was intermittent, in addition to Mao Cuihua's voice, there was also the voice of Liang Xiaojun who had been patiently comforting her.

(When I woke up, I found that my eyes were blindfolded, my hands and feet were tied with ropes, and my mouth was stuffed with a towel, so I couldn't call for help or escape. They weren't human beings...... Speaking of this, Mao Cuihua cried silently, and you can imagine how many sins she has experienced in the world.

(I didn't know how many days I was locked up in that hut until last night, when Zheng Shouyin, who was numb to me, sent another woman to throw beside me!) He also told the two men to take good care of us, saying that Brother Long was going to send us away in the next few days.) ）

(As soon as the man named Zheng Shouyin left, the two brutes began to drink, and they didn't stop when ......they got drunk!) And they ...... I only heard Liang Xiaojun comforting: Don't talk about sister, you are safe now, forget about those, they can't bully you anymore!)

(Of course they can't bully me anymore, because they all deserve to !!) Mao Cuihua's sudden ruthless tone made everyone listening to the recording a little creepy, a woman who was forced to the extreme really did everything!

(In the middle of the night, I was woken up by the tossing movement around me, my eyes were blindfolded, and I knew that Ah Wei must have pounced on the woman next to me!Suddenly I heard him howl! screaming like a pig!) He pulled out his knife with a thud, stabbing and slashing like crazy, I desperately hid far away, but I was still stabbed several times.) At that time, I was really afraid that I would die so inexplicably...... From Mao Cuihua's trembling voice, you can imagine how critical the situation was at that time.

(Suddenly, I heard a 'poof', like something was leaking, followed by the sound of a ghost roaring and screaming.) When Ah Liang stopped calling, I heard the woman walking towards me, her steps were very light, like a cat. But I've been locked up for so many days, and my ears have already become extremely sensitive, and I know she'll save me, she's a good person!) said this, Mao Cuihua's voice was full of excitement.

(She untied the rope from my hand, but she wouldn't let me take off the blindfold, saying only to me, "Take off the blindfold and count a hundred before opening your eyes, or you'll be blind.") "I obediently counted a hundred, and when I opened my eyes, the woman who saved me was gone, I didn't even see what she looked like, and there were only two dead animals left in the house! I was afraid that Zheng Shouyin would suddenly come back again, so I fled from the cabin overnight, and I ran for my life, hid for my life, and waited until dawn...... ）

The recording came to an end here, and everyone at the meeting basically figured out the context of the incident, and Lao Yutou took the lead in speaking: "Judging from the preliminary inference of the confession of the injured Mao Cuihua, this is a kidnapping gang with a clear division of labor, the man surnamed Zheng is responsible for drugged and is the mastermind and executor of the kidnapping, and the other two A Liang and A Wei are only accomplices responsible for imprisoning and guarding the hostages. ”

He glanced at Commissar Niu and Captain Shi without objection and continued: "Another key person is the 'Brother Long' mentioned by Mao Cuihua, this person said that he would send her and another woman away in a few days, we don't know whether this 'Brother Long' is the buyer of the hostages or a middleman, is there a bigger criminal group behind this behind the scenes? Is it even related to the Zhenwu Road Five Corpses Case? What the buyer buys these hostages to do, it's worth digging deeper!"

Shi Jinshan finished speaking, and then added: "The mountain fire that ignited in Longji Mountain yesterday was just extinguished this morning, and I went to look at it in the morning, and there was a wooden house in the forest that was burned down, and there were two male corpses in it. But who set this fire and who killed the person must be investigated deeply. From her confession, it is inferred that the two men should have died at the hands of the abducted woman. But it is not easy for a woman to subdue two large men armed with knives. Whether Mao Cuihua participated in the murder of these two people, this suspicion cannot be ruled out at present!"
