Lei Xiaobo nodded, agreeing with his statement.

Gu Yanping said: "With this alone, Bai Yongbing will never be able to get out again." He was guilty of intentional homicide, and although it was attempted, it was of an extremely heinous nature and would be punished with a felony. ”

Lei Xiaobo saw that they had taken pictures, so he carried the stones and walked to the car: "Let's go back and discuss this matter in the car." ”

Gu Yanping took the stone to the side of the car with him, put it in the trunk, sat in the car again, and turned around and drove back on a wide mountain road in front of him.

On the way, Lei Xiaobo said to them: "At that time, I didn't know Bai Yongbing very well when I came to the village, and I had no grievances with him, so why did he stone us both to death?"

Cui Huabing said: "Yes, why is this?"

Lei Xiaobo said: "This is our second step of action plan, and the problems to be solved will be implemented tomorrow." ”

Gu Yanping, who was driving, knew what the second step of action was, and he was thinking about it, so he didn't make a sound. Judging from tonight's actions, he really admired Lei Xiaobo more and more. This seemingly inconspicuous young man is not only brave and strategic, but also clear and methodical, and pushes forward step by step towards the ultimate goal. At first, I thought Lei Xiaobo was fooling around, but it turned out that every action he did had a purpose.

Cui Huabing didn't know what his second step plan was, so he asked curiously: "Will it be implemented tomorrow?"

Lei Xiaobo was even more mysterious, he just said three words simply: "Go to visit the prison." ”

Cui Huabing shouted in confusion again: "Where are you going to visit the prison?"

He thought, why didn't Lei Xiaobo play his cards according to common sense? But he still asked curiously, "Whose prison are you visiting, and why are you visiting?"

Lei Xiaobo said thoughtlessly: "As I expected, Bai Yongbing went to visit him before the 412 case. ”

As soon as he said this, Gu Yanping understood. He turned around and glanced at Lei Xiaobo, and said with some excitement: "If only there was a recording in the prison." ”

Lei Xiaobo said: "It depends on our luck, there are recordings, as long as we know the content of their conversations, this case will not be solved." ”

"Hmm. Gu Yanping was even more energetic, "This is a trick, I admit, how did you think of it?"

He paused for a moment and then said, "The question is, did Bai Yongbing visit the prison? Is there a recording of them in the prison? If there is a recording, will they talk about it?"

Lei Xiaobo still said confidently: "Then look at tomorrow." ”

When they talked to each other like this, Cui Huabing, who didn't know the truth, fell into a fog, and he asked suspiciously: "What are you talking about? Why can't I understand anything at all?"

Gu Yanping said to him: "If you go to prison tomorrow, you will know." If you can't get it right, Lei Xiaobo didn't take a week, only one day, to solve this case. ”

"Really?" Cui Huabing, who was sitting in the back row, stretched his head forward, looked at Lei Xiaobo and said, "Xiaolei, you are becoming more and more mysterious." ”

Lei Xiaobo said soberly: "Don't be happy too early, our opponent is not a vegetarian, and it is not so simple to solve the case." I estimate that it is impossible to solve the case without entering the third step plan. But the second step must also be taken, so that the third step can be taken well, and the odds of victory can be greater. ”

Back at the little hotel, it was half past ten in the evening.

Gu Yanping asked the two policemen who were guarding Lei Xiaobo to go home, and they lived with him. It's a win-win to work with him and take care of him.

When they got up the next morning, they hurried to the small cafeteria for breakfast, and then drove on the road to the Newborn Prison.

From Hongshan County to Xinsheng Prison, there are more than 200 kilometers of road. It's not a high-speed road, there are seventy or eighty kilometers of ordinary roads, so you have to drive for at least two hours to get there.

They set out at half-past seven and arrived at the freshman prison at about ten o'clock in the morning.

After parking the car outside the prison gate, Gu Yanping walked in front, he took the letter of introduction and police officer card, and after passing through several gates, he came to the office of the prison management house.

They were received by a deputy warden of Xinsheng Prison surnamed Lin. Because Lei Xiaobo did not have a police officer card and was not a legitimate criminal investigator, when he arrived here, Gu Yanping took the lead.

After showing his letter of introduction and police officer ID, Gu Yanping said to Prison Chief Lin: "Prison Chief Lin, there is a prisoner named Xie Hongfei who is being held here, please help us check whether a person named Bai Yongbing has come to visit him after the Spring Festival this year?

"Yes, they are all registered. "And there is full monitoring." ”

Lei Xiaobo asked urgently: "Is there a recording of their conversation?"

"It varies from person to person. In general, prison visits are not recorded. But there are explanations on it, and there are serious prisoners, death row prisoners, etc., and they have to be recorded. ”

Gu Yanping changed what he had just said and said, "Prison Chief Lin, please help us check whether Bai Yongbing has come to visit the prison since Xie Hongfei came here. If so, when did you come? How long did you visit, what did you talk about? The more detailed the better, thank you. ”

Warden Lin said, "Okay, I'll help you check it out right away." With that, he walked out.

Lei Xiaobo, Gu Yanping, and Cui Huabing sat in the office and waited patiently.

An hour later, almost at noon, Warden Lin walked in, took a piece of paper, and said to Gu Yanping: "Officer Gu, we have checked, Xie Hongfei came to us on December 21 last year. He was held in the third prison block and behaved adequately. A man named Bai Yongbing had come to visit him twice. One time was before the Spring Festival last year, that is, on January 12 this year, he brought him something to eat and talked for 12 minutes. One time was on April 6 this year, that is, the day after Qingming, he didn't bring anything, but talked with Xie Xingfei for 16 minutes. What they talk about, we don't have a recording, so we don't know. Because Xie Hongfei was an ordinary prisoner, he was sentenced to 12 years in prison for corruption. ”

Lei Xiaobo and Gu Yanping looked at each other and sighed, they both sighed softly, their faces showed disappointment and regret, but they were helpless.

Gu Yanping said to Prison Chief Lin blankly: "If there is a recording, it would be good." ”

Cui Huabing already understood what was going on, and asked Warden Lin, "Can you take a look at the probe video of their two meetings?"

Prison Chief Lin said: "You have a letter of introduction from the Hongshan Public Security Bureau, of course you can. ”

Lei Xiaobo said, "Also, in the afternoon, can you arrange for us to meet with Xie Hongfei?"
