Late at night, the dark clouds that have accumulated over Gyeonggi Province are still rolling thickly, and the real-time updated weather forecast shows that the rain has a tendency to continue to expand, and the highway from Seoul to Wonju, the section of the road that has experienced car accidents and explosions has been pulled up by the police who have rushed to pull up the separation belt, roadblocks and warning lights, and the highway naturally cannot be blocked.

Inside the barrier, where burning black smoke still billowed up thick in the rain, a heavy truck with a scrapped front wheel was quietly parked on the side of the road, not far from it, and the other was much more miserable, burned to the ground, and the air smelled of rubber and some kind of burnt meat.

Several police cars parked nearby flashed red and blue, and more than a dozen policemen were flashing flashlights, busily checking the ground and taking pictures in the barrier.

A car drove over in the distance, a middle-aged policeman waved a red baton to meet him, the car stopped, four people in civilian clothes got out of the car, led by a young man, the temperature in the early morning was very low, the young man tightened his coat, shivered fiercely, and only then frowned at the middle-aged policeman who shone with a flashlight and showed his ID: "My own people!"

The middle-aged policeman took it, looked at it carefully, and then saluted: "Hello, Hong Shangjin Police Zheng!"

Generally speaking, the police officers belong to a relatively high sequence among the cadres and police, and they are placed in local police departments and police stations, and most of them are in charge of the overall work, and rarely go to the front line in person. But look at the documents. The department that this Hong police officer is in is a bit special, so the high rank of the police officer is not surprising to the middle-aged policeman, although the other party is too young.

The young man named Hong Shangjin nodded, a gust of wind blew, the black smoke in the distance tilted, and the strange smell emitted also drifted here, and the only woman among the four immediately covered her nose in disgust, and the other two were no better.

Only Hong Shangjin frowned and asked, "How many people died in the car?"

"Five!" replied the middle-aged policeman, lifting up the barrier. Bring a few people in.

"Didn't get out?" or ......"

"Nope. The vehicle died as soon as it collided, and the commercial vehicle flew out directly in front of the heavy truck driver, exploded in mid-air, and then fell. In that case, the gods can't live. ”

Hong Sang-jin looked at the heavy truck parked on the side of the road. "What about the truck drivers?"

"It has been sent back to the police station to record a statement. He said. The middle-aged policeman asked with some curiosity, "This case has not been determined whether it was a traffic accident or a premeditated murder for the time being, why did you intervene?" I remember that your department is generally responsible for major and important cases. ”

"Huh. It's just that the hall heard a report from the command center that the informant here said that he heard gunshots, so he sent us over to take a look. ”

"Oh, the informant!" the middle-aged policeman smiled, "I heard about it when I came, and someone called the police to say that he saw a drag racing shootout, good guy, and the painting is like a Hollywood blockbuster." But after coming, we temporarily asked some witnesses at the scene, many people said that they didn't know what was going on, it had been raining all the time, the road was dark, everyone was driving fast, how could they see clearly, the only truck driver who was a direct witness was so frightened that his spirit seemed to have collapsed, and he didn't know what Lu Dao was talking about, but I personally think that it shouldn't be a big problem, and there are fewer people who play excitement on the highway to find death?" he shrugged his shoulders and looked indifferent.

Hong Shangjin just smiled, didn't say anything, and said a few more greetings, and the middle-aged policeman went out to continue directing the traffic, and when he left, he reported the person in charge of the scene with a relatively high level through the walkie-talkie, and after a while, a cadre police officer with the rank of guard came to receive him.

At this time, Hong Shangjin seemed to have lost interest in dealing with the local police, and casually ordered a middle-aged man among the three accompanying people to deal with it, and he turned on a flashlight and came to the vicinity of the wreckage to check it carefully, and the other two were also sent out to communicate with the local police officers who were nearby to check the scene and inquire about their investigation results.

South Korea's police system, although it is a single-track model of unified command, but the division of labor between various departments is very clear, there is no order from the superiors, and cases like this kind of traffic are all handled by the local police agency, and only when a suspicious point is found, a criminal investigation will be filed in his department, and this time he brought someone over, which is actually ultra vires.

But he had to come!

The rain washed away the traces on the road almost completely, and nothing else could be seen except for the parts all over the ground, Hong Shangjin turned on the flashlight, all the way to the wreckage, and endured the rich stench that came with the heat wave, Hong Shangjin carefully examined the four wheels twisted towards the sky.

The tires had long since burned dry, leaving only a strange residue of illegible solidification on the twisted wheel, black smoke billowing from the police officers who looked around.

"Left front wheel...... Left front wheel......"

Muttering, Hong Shangjin came to the left front wheel, carefully checked for a moment, suddenly his eyes lit up, looked left and right, and saw that no one was paying attention here, he bit the flashlight, took out a plier from his pocket, carefully peeled off the solidification of the tire, and took out a small metal bump that had been completely twisted away and could hardly be seen as anything.

Putting the small metal bump under the lamp and observing it carefully for a while, Hong Shangjin breathed a sigh of relief and quickly hid it in his pocket, and after doing all this, his heart suddenly relaxed from the tense state, pounding and beating violently.

…… This kind of thing is really a birthday if you do it once......

He smiled bitterly, but when he patted his pocket and felt the hard touch of the small metal bump through the layer of clothes, his heart was occupied by a strange satisfaction.

This thing...... Very valuable!

While covering up the anomaly, calmly leaving the wreckage with a flashlight, and continuing to pretend to check the ground, Hong Shangjin thought absentmindedly, and after a while, the two men he sent before came back and reported to him the results of the inquiry:

"The local police officers were very efficient, they had collected most of the parts at the scene, including the scattered glass shards, and by comparison, they believed that the commercial vehicle should have been collided with another commercial vehicle of the same model before it hit the heavy truck, which is also more consistent with the statements of some witnesses. They are currently applying to call up the photos taken by the cameras on this section of the road......"

Hearing this, Hong Shangjin frowned, "How many cameras are there in this section?"

"This is not a key monitoring section, I checked, every kilometer set up one, the closest from here, is 400 meters to the east of the one, with tonight's weather, the actual situation of the car accident is not photographed. ”

To the east, that's the direction in which the van is coming.

The other party said that the "actual situation" could not be filmed, Hong Shangjin naturally knew what the road meant, and according to the deduction and analysis of the scene situation, the camera could only shoot two cars rear-ending each other, and could not shoot more sensitive content.

This put his worries at ease a little.

As a few people were talking, the middle-aged man he sent to deal with the guard came back, and the guard also followed, and when he saw him, the other party smiled and saluted: "Hong Policeman, have you found anything?"

Hong Shangjin shook his head regretfully while returning the salute, "The rain has not stopped, and the light is not good, if you want to collect evidence on the spot, I am afraid that you will have to wait until after dawn." ”

"Ha Luha, yes, we are now protecting the site, and the specific work can not be carried out until dawn. It's really annoying you to run in vain, the words of those who reported the case don't match the words, and some people say that the two sides are sweeping with machine guns, hehe, how is this kind of thing possible, someone is really sweeping with machine guns, and the phone in the command center has already been blown up!"

Hong Shangjin laughed a few times, and then asked pointedly: "I remember, there is a path on the east side of here, right?"

"yes, just a kilometer away, what, you've been there?"

"Ah, yes, the scenery over there is good, but unfortunately no one has developed it. ”

"There are so many tourist attractions near Seoul, it's not close to the city, you can't make much money from it, and there are not many people passing by there, and the only thing that counts as a business is a closed lumber plant...... Speaking of which, I remember that someone called the police and there was a loud noise, but if this happens, I'm afraid I can only go and see it tomorrow. ”

After a few more pleasantries, Hong Shangjin said goodbye and left, and when he got out of the isolation zone with three of his subordinates, a large trailer coming from the east stopped on the side of the road under the command of the police, and a policeman came up to ask, and the sound of conversation came from afar.

“…… What are you doing on the east side of the road?"

"The lumberyard house collapsed, and I was about to pull the machine away, but in this ghost weather, I waited for most of the night and didn't see the workers pass, so I had to come back with an empty car. "The driver is a good-looking young man with a Busan accent, and he seems to be very honest.

The policeman snorted sympathetically and didn't ask any more questions.

Hong Sang-Kim also retracted his gaze and returned to the car with a blank face, until the door closed, started, and returned to the direction of Seoul, he exhaled abruptly, wiped his rain-soaked hair, and his face was cloudy.

But after a while, he sighed helplessly, took out the metal lump from his pocket, and the eyes of several subordinates suddenly looked at it, faintly exuding a strange color.

"Yalun, give me your phone. Hong Shangjin said, the woman named Yalun took out a bag from under the seat, opened it, and took out a freshly opened mobile phone from it, Hong Shangjin took it, took a photo of the metal bump, and then dialed and sent the photo out.

Received a reply in a short time:

Thank you, tomorrow cash on delivery!

Seeing such a short reply, a relaxed smile finally appeared on his face, and he looked at his subordinates who were looking forward to it, and smiled: "Everyone has worked hard tonight, please drink tomorrow!"

Everyone naturally understands this sentence, so the atmosphere in the whole car is suddenly relaxed and pleasant. (To be continued......)
