On December 31, the last day of the Gregorian calendar of this year, from the early hours of the morning, snowflakes fell in the sky of the ice city, and the snow was not large, as if someone was throwing confetti in the sky.

In the morning, when the sky was bright, the snow began to fall. This is the fourth snow since the beginning of winter this year, and for the people of Bingcheng who are already familiar with ice and snow, snow is nothing at all, but this day is an unforgettable day for the people of Bingcheng.

At around ten o'clock in the morning, Zhou Yinyuan, who was drinking tea in a teahouse, suddenly received a strange phone call: "Hey, who are you?" ”

A man's voice came from the phone: "I am the nephew of Gao Zheng, the director of the detention center of the Mingyuan County Public Security Bureau, I lost my wallet, I have no money to go home, I heard my uncle say that you are Bingcheng, I want to ask you for help, can you come to the Hutian Hotel, send me two hundred yuan, I will buy a ticket back to Mingyuan County, and I will return the money to you when I get home." ”

Thinking of the recent unforeseen events, Zhou Yinyuan was very vigilant. But Zhou Yinyuan and Zhen Gao Zheng are good friends, but he doesn't know if the other party is Gao Zheng's nephew.

promised the other party, and then called Gao Zheng, but he didn't expect to be able to get through. Zhou Yinyuan called someone who was familiar with the Mingyuan County Public Security Bureau again and asked if there was such a person, but the answers he got were all ambiguous and difficult to determine.

Zhou Yinyuan decided to go to the Hutian Hotel to find out, so he got up and left the teahouse and drove over.

Due to the snow and slippery roads, the silver dollar drove very slowly all the way, and after arriving at the Hutian Hotel, he accidentally fell when he got off the car and sat on a big squat.

Zhou Yinyuan just got up from the ground, and before he could pat the snow on his pants, a man suddenly rushed over, stretched out his hand and hugged Zhou Yinyuan tightly, and then he heard a "boom" sound that shook the sky, Zhou Yinyuan's body fell to the side of the car, his head rolled to the sidewalk on the sidewalk, and the human bomb was flying in different ways. Multiple cars were damaged at the scene......

In the words of some people, at least half of the people in Bingcheng heard this loud noise, and it even alarmed the Linjiang Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government, which was not far from the Hutian Hotel.

After the incident, Zhou Yinyuan's eldest brother Zhou Jinyuan and third brother Zhou Tongyuan concluded without hesitation that the real culprit who planned the explosion was Shi Yuejun.

Immediately, Zhou Jinyuan and Zhou Tongyuan began to visit the Bingcheng Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government. On January 20, the day before the opening of the Linjiang Provincial Two-Year Conference, the Zhou brothers came to the provincial party committee and the provincial government with more than 160 relatives, and unfurled eight banners in front of the gate, shouting for Zhou Yinyuan's death, asking the leaders of the provincial party committee to preside over justice, severely punish Shi Yuejun, Zheng Jiali, and Deng Wangchun, the real culprits in the "1231" Hutian explosion case, and investigate and deal with the black umbrella of bending the law for personal gain......

This move alarmed Ouyang Xinsheng, Xie Changshun, Zhao Dahai and other leaders of the provincial party committee.

Several leaders of the Letters and Visits Bureau of the Provincial Party Committee came forward to request that the petitioners evacuate the scene, but they were refused. After that, many armed police officers continued to persuade them to leave, and used three buses to pull the petitioners to the aid station. The next day, the leaders of the Letters and Visits Bureau had an interview with the Zhou brothers and several other people.

On the morning of the same day, Ouyang Xinsheng made important instructions, requiring relevant departments to conscientiously do a good job in the work of counseling and interviewing letters and visits.

In the afternoon, the "1231" Hutian explosion case, which was originally the responsibility of the Beixing District Bureau where the incident occurred, was transferred to the Bingcheng City Public Security Bureau to take over, and a special case team was set up, and Xue Fei sent Liang Guowei, who was in charge of criminal investigation work, to take charge of the case.

In order to understand what was going on behind this bombing case, Liang Guowei drove to Mingyuan County several times, and after investigation, the general context of the whole incident was sorted out.

The victim Zhou Yinyuan was a member of the Mingyuan County CPPCC before his death, and Shi Yuejun, who was a member of the Bingcheng City CPPCC, grew up together since childhood, and they were both from Luzhu Village, Qianshui Township, Mingyuan County.

A few miles away from Luzhu Village in Qianshui Township, that is, at the confluence of the Linjiang River and the Qianshui River, Twenty-four Bay is a wasteland of several square kilometers, and its underground storage of a large number of attractive minerals has made Mingyuan County famous throughout the country, and Twenty-four Bay has also become the cradle of the local wealthy. Zhou Yinyuan intervened in the mining of Twenty-four Bay before Shi Yuejun, so he made his fortune relatively early.

In Twenty-four Bay, mines can be found everywhere like a hornet's nest, but at most there are hundreds of mines, but only a dozen have actually obtained legal and licensed mining. Here, it is not surprising that the bloodshed of group fights for mineral resources is endless, and it can even be said that it is commonplace.

In ninety-four years, Shi Yuejun raised money to buy the equity of the 24-bay Da'an mine and became the mine owner. In order to compete for mineral resources, Shi Yuejun ignored the agreement between the two sides and opened up the Fangyuan mine adjacent to the Zhou brothers, and then a dispute broke out, which led to hatred.

In ninety-six years, the Zhou family and the Shi family had a fierce fight over a lead-zinc mine. Shi Yuejun hired thugs to seriously injure Zhou Tongyuan and Zhou Yinyuan to lightly injure him.

In 99, the Zhou brothers' hometown was twice bombed, and a large number of doors, windows and furniture were destroyed.

Two thousand years, the roof of the second floor of Zhou Jinyuan's house was blown open with a hole of nearly two meters, but fortunately there were no casualties; Later, the transformer of the 86 mine opened by the Zhou brothers was blown up.

In 2002, on the way back to Mingyuan County in Bingcheng, Zhou Jinyuan was followed to a remote place by three unknown people, and slashed eight times in a row, and the scars on his head and back are still visible.

It was not only the Zhou brothers whose lives were threatened, but Shi Yuejun also almost died.

One day in the past 2,000 years, when he was getting off work in the evening, villager Zhou Yeping got under the car that Shi Yuejun parked in the courtyard of the Mingyuan County Public Security Bureau to install explosives, and was caught red-handed by the officers on duty. Although Zhou Yeping always insisted that he was jealous of Shi Yuejun and no one instructed him, Shi Yuejun didn't think so, he felt that it must have been instructed by the Zhou brothers, because Zhou Yeping usually had a close relationship with Zhou Tongyuan.

In October last year, Shi Yuejun heard that the Zhou brothers were going to spend 20,000 yuan to drug him, so he offered 200,000 yuan and asked the murderer to harm the Zhou brothers, but to no avail.

Before the Hutian explosion, Shi Yuejun was already the major shareholder of 15 mining companies in 24 bays, and he was known as the richest man in Mingyuan County, and he had threatened to monopolize the 24 bay mining area. Although the mining power of the Zhou brothers is not as strong as Shi Yuejun's, the two families have always been in a state of rivalry, and the fame and secret battles have always continued.

This is also the reason why Zhou Yinyuan was killed by the bombing, and the Zhou family concluded that Shi Yuejun must have done it.

"Shi Yuejun is doing such a big job, someone must be making an umbrella for him on it, right? Did you find anything? Xue Fei asked.

"There is a story circulating in the community that one night in Bingcheng, Shi Yuejun once took out 100,000 yuan to make a bet with several mine bosses that if he couldn't call Han Jingwei and call him for supper within 20 minutes, he would lose. As a result, Han Jingwei really arrived within twenty minutes. Because of the good relationship between Shi Yuejun and Han Jingwei, the local officials in Mingyuan County were in awe of Shi Yuejun. Liang Guowei said.

Xue Fei listened to Liang Guowei's words, and couldn't help but think of the fact that last year, a miner named Han Qi in Mingyuan County was arrested for tax evasion, and Han Jingwei called him to ask for release.

"The black mines in Twenty-Four Bay have their own rights background, and according to our investigation, Han Jingwei is the most important rights background in Twenty-Four Bay, and many people call him 'Han Mine Chief'." Liang Guowei said again.

"This kind of case involving a backstage umbrella must be supported by sufficient evidence, and it must be an ironclad case that cannot be overturned. Didn't the Zhou brothers say that it was Shi Yuejun, Zheng Jiali, and Deng Wangchun who planned the bombing case, I think we can arrest Zheng Jiali and Deng Wangchun first, and see if we can open a breakthrough in the case from them. Xue Fei felt that as long as Zheng Jiali and Deng Wangchun confessed, the case would be completely clear.

According to reliable information, Zheng Jiali and Deng Wangchun were in Tianze County, next door to Mingyuan County, and Liang Guowei rushed to Tianze County to prepare for the arrest.

On that day, the weather was sunny, and the previous snow was also digested, and when Liang Guowei was riding a car at the junction of Mingyuan County and Tianze County, the steering wheel of the Audi car, which had always been good, suddenly skidped, and then the car rushed off the road and fell into a ten-meter-deep mountain stream......

After Liang Guowei was pulled back to the hospital in Bingcheng for treatment, he was out of danger, but his lungs were seriously injured and his high fever did not go away.

Xue Fei suspected that this was a murder, and someone wanted to use this method to prevent the investigation behind the "1231" Hutian explosion, so he ordered someone to quickly conduct a technical appraisal of the car that fell into the mountain stream, and at the same time, he replaced Liang Guowei and personally served as the leader of the investigation team.

However, when Zheng Jiali and Deng Wangchun were arrested, it was found that not only these two people had escaped, but Shi Yuejun, who had been staying in Mingyuan County, was also missing.

Half a month ago, another major case occurred in Bingcheng that shocked the whole country, Xiao Jingui, deputy secretary general of the Bingcheng Municipal Government, was killed in the New Oasis Hotel in Bingcheng.

The forensic doctor found through the examination of the corpse that Xiao Jingui's fatal injuries were in the back of the head, and there were more than a dozen injuries on the entire head, which were caused by a blunt blow to the head with a blunt object.

The task force retrieved the surveillance footage in the corridor of the hotel and found that before the incident, a person wearing a black down jacket, a hat on his head, a mask on his mouth, and a bag in his hand had entered Xiao Jingui's room. The man knocked on the door and managed to enter the room. He left the room about twenty minutes later, and he never entered Xiao Jingui's room again, so the murderer must be this person.

At the scene of the crime, it was found that the mobile phone and 4,000 yuan carried by Xiao Jingui had not been touched, and the briefcase did not show signs of being turned over, which can be basically ruled out as robbery. Moreover, the murderer's methods of committing the crime were very sophisticated and cunning, and there were no clues left at the scene. But judging from the surveillance video in the corridor, the murderer should be an acquaintance with Xiao Jingui, otherwise Xiao Jingui would not have opened the door for him easily.

However, judging from the surveillance video, it is impossible to identify the suspect's facial features at all, and all the shots he appeared in the hotel are wearing masks and keeping his head down, which makes the case deadlock for a while.

Since Xiao Jingui is not an ordinary person, he is a government official, and the provincial and municipal governments attach great importance to it, so the head of the task force is Executive Deputy Director Long Junting.

Long Junting was at a loss when he talked to Xue Fei about this case, and Xue Fei seemed much more relaxed than him.

Xue Fei poured a glass of water for Long Junting and said, "Xiao Jingui is the deputy secretary general of the municipal government, and his social relations are complicated. ”

Long Junting looked at Xue Fei and waited for Xue Fei to continue to speak.

"I think Xiao Jingui's case team should not just focus on the New Oasis Hotel, but should change their way of thinking and try to start from other places, such as Xiao Jingui's social connections, or his work. Judging from the information previously available, Xiao Jingui has been working in the city government since he was transferred from the army, and he assisted Vice Mayor Wu Jianwen in charge of urban construction, fire protection, planning and other work, among which the most important thing may be urban construction work. Because urban construction work is currently a piece of fat, this sector is a high-incidence area of power-for-money transactions, and it is also the most likely to become the focus of competition for unscrupulous businessmen, especially in the contracting contractor, is there a problem of black-box operation? If so, could it be that you offended the other by taking care of one party, which led to the murder of the other? Xue Fei took a sip of water after speaking, then walked into the desk and sat down.

In addition, the contradictions and conflicts between superiors and subordinates on whether they have power and money should also be within the scope of consideration by the task force. If it is because of the uneven distribution of spoils, or Xiao Jingui knows something that some people don't want him to know, it is possible for the other party to take risks to kill him. Therefore, the direction of the investigation of the task force should be on his life and work, and we should dig deeper, do not have any worries, and report anything to me at any time. Xue Fei looked at Long Junting and said.

Long Junting suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment, stood up and said, "I know. ”

As soon as Long Junting went out, Xue Fei's mobile phone rang, it was an unfamiliar number.
