The owner of the first mobile phone number is surnamed Peng, a former police officer of the Gucheng Township Police Station, who was later transferred from the public security organ and is now a middle-level cadre of the Xinzhong District Tobacco Bureau. After Liu Nanhe's phone called, the chief clerk surnamed Peng did not answer. Two minutes later, when I called back, I was shocked to hear Liu Nanhe report that he was a police officer from the provincial capital. When Liu Nanhe explained the intention of the call, Director Peng's tone became extremely eager, and he repeatedly tweeted that he didn't know anything, so he hung up the phone.

Liu Nanhe dialed it back again, and Director Peng said: "Mr. police officer, I really don't know, more than ten years have passed since that case, and we just took a look, and we can't remember it clearly, so don't be embarrassed for me." ”

Liu Nanhe said lightly: "Your number was given to me by the leaders of the provincial department, if you don't want to say it, then I won't be reluctant, go back and let the leaders of the provincial department go to you directly." ”

Director Peng hurriedly said: "Hey, comrade, why is this not the case?"

Liu Nanhe's volume suddenly increased, and he said angrily: "Now there are dead people again, counting the 'snow corpse case' since the first case, five people have died so far, even if you change jobs, don't you have a sense of awe for life in your heart? The surname is Peng, I don't want to say the responsibility for dereliction of duty back then, save you some face, you are no longer interested, believe it or not, I will bring someone to arrest you this morning!"

Liu Nanhe rarely spoke in such a tone, but this time he was really anxious. Shi Yimu's father died, and Uncle Shi was gone, although Chi Wei had already led someone to find it, but the truth was getting farther and farther away. Liu Nanhe has a lot of ideas in his heart, but he lacks rigorous empirical evidence, if Uncle Shi dies again, I really don't know how to solve this case.

Seeing that Liu Nanhe was suddenly furious, Director Peng, who didn't know what his background was, also panicked, and said, "Oh, comrade, don't worry." Come to think of it, I've had to figure it out for so long. I'll call you in five minutes, okay?"

Liu Nanhe snorted and hung up the phone.

was about to call another person surnamed Cui, but Chi Wei suddenly called. Liu Nanhe pressed the answer button, and Chi Wei said anxiously: "Boss, just now the Gucheng Township Police Station called, saying that you have been on the phone and cannot be contacted. Well, their police officers have withdrawn, saying that the case has been fully taken over by the first team of criminal police of the Zhengzhong City Bureau. ”

Liu Nanhe was stunned for a moment and said, "A large group of people?

Chi Wei said: "I don't know, we just walked halfway. ”

Liu Nanhe said: "Okay, you go to find Uncle Shi's whereabouts first, pay attention to safety." ”

Chi Wei agreed and hung up the phone. Qin Yiyan saw that Liu Nanhe's expression was a little unnatural, and asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"

Liu Nanhe smiled bitterly: "The one who finds fault is here again." This time, I'm afraid there will be another war of words. ”

Director Peng of the Tobacco Bureau did not wait five minutes as previously agreed, but called back three minutes later. According to him, there are many reasons why the case was too simple and crude, the most important of which is that the appearance of the deceased is too terrifying. Originally a beautiful young young girl, she was like a ghost when she died. Not only was the flesh on his face scratched and covered in blood and hollows, but his body was also riddled with holes. Although both of them thought that it could not be a suicide at the time, for some sensitive reasons, they could only characterize it as a suicide and report it to the county bureau at the time.

Liu Nanhe asked with a straight face: "What is the sensitive reason? Is there still a need to hide it?"

Director Peng hesitated for a moment and said: "At that time, many places had indicators for solving cases, and once a case was filed, it must be solved. At that time, Xinzhong was still a county seat, and it was applying to withdraw the county and change it to a city, and the impact of such a murder case was very bad, so ......"

Liu Nanhe understood, it was the "index" that caused the blame, and it was the black pot of political achievements. But that was all before, and he couldn't ask a little policeman, so he could only continue to ask: "Okay, don't talk about these questions." At that time, you went to the scene and told me in detail, what is abnormal?"

Director Peng said: "In addition to the bloody horror, it is her body that has been standing upright. The snow on her body, I'm sure it was piled up by snow, and it was definitely not a snowman. If it's a snowman, the snow won't be as neat and fluffy. ”

Liu Nanhe nodded and said, "Have you investigated, why didn't her body fall?"

Director Peng hesitated again. Liu Nanhe's heart moved, and he said slowly: "In front of and behind the corpse, there are paulownia planks, isn't it?"

Director Peng let out an "ah" and said, "How do you know?"

Liu Nanhe said: "The deceased last night was built into a snowman, and we found paulownia planks on him. ”

Director Peng smiled bitterly and said: "Officer Liu, you are not a native of Xinzhong, are you? In our place, paulownia planks are placed in front and back of the corpse, which means that the deceased will not be reincarnated and reincarnated, and will never be reborn, which is a cruel curse, making the deceased a lonely ghost for a lifetime." ”

Liu Nanhe just wanted to comment on the word "superstition", but Director Peng said: "Even people who see it can't talk about this kind of thing casually, if anyone says it, bad luck will jump from the deceased to the mouthy person." You say that the people here are superstitious or ignorant, but they are all human nature. Just like in today's society, everyone knows that there are no gods or Buddhas, so don't they also go to worship and make offerings?"

Liu Nanhe suddenly recalled the original signatures on the two murder files of Zhao Cuilan and Shi Wanying, and the names written there were Liu Qiang and Zhao Hongyan, both of whom were natives of Xinzhong District, presumably because of this reason, they did not carefully list whether there were paulownia planks next to the corpses. Liu Nanhe turned his head and glanced at it, there were only two people in the main hall, Qin Yiyan and Fang Yaya, and then remembered that Liu Qiang and Zhao Hongyan followed Chi Wei to find Uncle Shi.

Liu Nanhe hung up the phone and communicated with another old police officer surnamed Cui, except for some words that were slightly different, his statement was similar to Director Peng, not much different. In the end, he said in a heavy tone: "After the case was closed, in fact, we felt ashamed of the police uniform we were wearing, and then took the blame and resigned. I'll tell you the truth, I'm sick now, I won't live for a few years, so there's no need to lie and lie to you. ”

Liu Nanhe sighed and sat down on the sofa silently.

Qin Yiyan saw that his face was not good, and handed over a cup of hot water. In fact, she was also worried in her heart, forensic forensics, can't see the body, there is no way to do testing, how to help them solve the case.

Shi Yimu didn't sleep all night, and his eyes were red and swollen. He touched the empty cigarette case, and said in a hoarse voice, "This case...... You don't have to look it up. I don't blame you...... It's all the bad life of our Shi family. ”

Fang Yaya was helping Shi Anning get dressed, this little kid couldn't understand what was going on at home, and was bent on seeing Xiong Da Xiong Eryong fight bald head. Shi Yimu's eyes showed a look of gratitude, but more of despair, he didn't know if the next bad luck would be his and his child's turn.

Liu Nanhe's mobile phone rang again, and Chi Wei's name was displayed on it. After connecting it, Chi Wei's angry voice came from inside: "Boss, we have arrived at the Lotus River." A large group of people came from below, ahead of us. By the way, Uncle Shi was found, but the body was circled by a large group of people and did not let us pass. Come on, these bastards are so fucking damnable. ”

Hearing the word "remains", Liu Nanhe felt a chill in his heart. After explaining to Fang Yaya, he put on a piece of clothing and rushed over there with Qin Yiyan. Qin Yiyan was not a vase, she knew very well what it meant to find Uncle Shi's body, and immediately followed out quickly. Walking on the road, he sent several text messages to his uncle in a row.

The two of them walked quickly, and the place that usually takes two hours to walk to, this time it only took more than fifty minutes. Liu Nanhe vaguely heard the movement behind him, and when he looked back, he found that Shi Yimu had also followed. It seems that the family affection that blood is thicker than water finally touched him.

Sun Zhiyong, the captain of the first brigade, and Yu Xiaohuan, the deputy captain of the first brigade, were standing by the Lotus River, and they were leading several police officers to survey the traces in the mountain wall and the river. On the snow beside them, two corpses lay on them, covered with white cloths. A cordon was set up next to it, and several policemen surrounded it to block Chi Wei, Liu Qiang, and Zhao Hongyan. Seeing Liu Nanhe running over, Sun Zhiyong pretended not to see it, and stayed by the river as usual to point. Yu Xiaohuan greeted him, and said with a bitter gourd face: "Captain Liu, what are you eating, let you come over to investigate the case, but there was another homicide under your noses." ”

Liu Nanhe glanced at him and said, "I want to check the corpse, please get out of the way of your people." ”

Yu Xiaohuan said with a straight face: "This case is led by the city bureau, and now that it has been solved, you better rest for two days, and go back to your bureau." ”

Liu Nanhe frowned and said, "Broken?"

Yu Xiaohuan nodded and said: "The murderer is Shi Changzheng, and now he commits suicide in fear of crime, as for the motive and method of killing, there is no proof of death now, so I can only investigate it slowly." ”

Shi Yimu pounced and said angrily: "Fuck your fart, how can my uncle be a murderer? Why did he kill my father, why did he kill my wife and sister?"

Yu Xiaohuan pushed Shi Yimu to the ground, and shouted angrily: "Shi Yimu, you openly attacked the police, do you want to go into the detention center and squat for a few days?"

Shi Yimu said loudly: "You are a bunch of fools, my uncle is definitely not a murderer!"

Two police officers surrounded and brutally handcuffed Shi Yimu. Chi Wei was furious, and his face was blue with anger. Liu Nanhe shook his head lightly and turned his head to look at Qin Yiyan. Qin Yiyan whispered angrily: "I hate the fox and the fake tiger the most, this time it is to solve the case, but you remember well, you owe me a big favor in the future." ”

Liu Nanhe nodded and said, "Okay, I'll make a note of it." ”

Qin Yiyan walked into the cordon with a big grin and reached out to lift the white cloth covering the corpse. Yu Xiaohuan rushed over, tore Qin Yiyan's arm away, glared at him and reprimanded: "Can't you see the cordon?

Qin Yiyan said angrily: "The police in a big city are so good at putting on an official show?"
