Camp Commander Zhao looked at Instructor Lu, and the two of them glanced at each other, both of them knowingly. Instructor Lu slowly diǎn headed: "What Director Deng said is indeed reasonable...... It's just that in such a big case, Commander Wu of the Garrison Command will definitely ask about it. If we want to hand people over to the Public Security Bureau, we can't be the master. ”

"Yes, there's no way, let's report to the commander and political commissar first-leaders, the two of us can't afford such a big matter, so we can only ask the head of the garrison area first."

The two officers stepped aside and made a phone call, and after a while they came back with strange expressions. Cao Xunming was anxious, and asked, "What did the commander and political commissar say?" ”

Battalion Commander Zhao shook his head: "The commander said that you can't hand people over to the Public Security Bureau-"

"Ah, didn't you explain the matter to the chief?"

Battalion Commander Zhao said depressedly: "Of course we reported, but Commander Wu said that this is not a question of avoiding suspicion, according to the law, military cases should be investigated by the troops themselves, if they are left to the local public security bureau to investigate, this will be a very bad start, the impact is too bad, we can't set this precedent and break the rules." ”

As he spoke, Battalion Commander Zhao looked at Xu Yan and said in a deep voice: "Commander Wu said, in fact, this case cannot be handed over to the Public Security Bureau, but if it is handed over to the investigation team of the Ministry of Intelligence, he will have no opinion - Director Xu, you are the investigation team sent by the General Staff, and you are also the people in our army, if the case is handed over to you, this is also investigated by our troops, and it is not a violation of the rules." ”

Hearing what Battalion Commander Zhao said, everyone looked at each other, and they all slowly diǎn heads - everyone was arguing before, for who would host this case, and the Jincheng City Public Security Bureau was worried that the garrison area would cover up its own people, and the garrison area was because of face and law. The case could not be handed over to the local government, so the two sides could not argue.

But now, if the murderer is handed over to Xu Yan to investigate, everyone will be able to accept it: Xu Yan himself is the director of the Intelligence Department of the General Staff and a member of the military. It's up to him to take over the investigation, and it's up to the military to investigate. There is no problem of bad rules or losing face in the garrison area, and the Jincheng City Public Security Bureau does not have to worry that Xu Yan will shield the murderer.

Deng Bonan slowly diǎn head: "Commander Wu's idea is very clever, and I also agree with it - it will save us from quarreling on both sides and hurt the peace." In fact, the relevant investigation involving this case was originally "♀dǐng" ♀diǎn 〗 ♀ small 〕 ♀ said, .2▽3.o≌s_(); The investigation team led by Director Xu was responsible, and the instructions from the superiors were originally like this. ”

Secretary Zhao Diǎn head, he said concisely: "I agree with the opinion of Commander Wu and Lao Deng - Director Xu, you take over this case." It's justified - that's it, please Director Xu! ”

At that moment, in front of Xu Yan, the Jincheng City Public Security Bureau and the Jincheng Garrison District quickly reached an agreement on this issue, and they didn't even come to ask Xu Yan's opinion.

Unexpectedly, things suddenly fell on his head, and Xu Yan really couldn't react. He hesitated: "Leaders, in this matter, I am also the target of the murderer's assassination. If you are one of the parties involved, it will be investigated by me. I'm afraid it's inconvenient, right? According to the law, I should have recused myself. ”

Director Deng Bonan glanced at him and said lightly: "Even if Director Xu wants to avoid suspicion, there are other comrades in your intelligence department who can help!" If we want to say that there is a relationship, we all have something to do with this case - we are colleagues in Huangshan, and Battalion Commander Zhao is the murderer's unit on their side. If we say that we should avoid it, everyone should avoid it, so won't this case be handled? Did Huangshan die in vain? ”

Seeing Deng Bonan's deep eyes, Xu Yan didn't know what to say - legal procedures are one thing, but this matter. I can't shirk it. Because the murderer's shot at that time was fired at Xu Yan himself, Huang Shan died unfortunately by helping himself block the bullet, and now, personally hosting this case and helping Huang Shan take revenge, morally, he has no way to refuse this request.

So, under Xu Yan's silence, the matter was settled. The gloomy faces of the leaders dispersed, and only Deng Bonan stayed alone and sat silently beside Xu Yan.

Xu Yan turned his head: "Director Deng, do you have anything else?" ”

Deng Bonan shook his head slowly, his expression was very solemn: "Director Xu, there are some things about this case that I don't understand, and I want to talk to you alone."

I just learned from Camp Commander Zhao, the murderer Zhang Nan is very young, he was born in 88, just graduated from military school, his hometown is from Ganzhou, his parents are teachers, his past experience is very simple, that is, studying, middle school, high school, college entrance examination and then entered the military academy, and after graduation, he was arranged to work in the Jincheng garrison area, and he has been a deputy platoon commander and platoon commander, and he has always been very good, he is a simple and honest young man, disciplined and obedient - from his experience, he is good with you, and with Huangshan, It doesn't even have anything to do with your system. Now, he suddenly shoots at you, and there is no motive or reason for this matter.

I doubt that things should not be so simple, Director Xu, when you investigate, you must be mentally prepared...... Find out the real reason, and don't rush to close the case. ”

Deng Bonan talked to Xu Yan in private, Xu Yan originally thought that the other party mostly wanted to persuade himself that he must severely punish the murderer for Huangshan's life, but unexpectedly, Deng Bonan advised himself not to rush to close the case, which surprised Xu Yan, he sighed: "Director Deng, I thought that you wanted me to kill the murderer to pay for Huangshan's life...... It's not like what you just watched! ”

Deng Bonan sighed with emotion: "Director Xu, people are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves!" Huang Shan is my old subordinate, many years of affection, he has an accident, I, the chief, must defend him, must help him get back this justice. Otherwise, the brothers would be cold, and the family in Huangshan would not agree.

Since I am in the position of director of the Public Security Bureau, in front of everyone and in front of the troops, I must show this attitude - if you kill someone, you will have to pay for your life, especially if you kill our public security officers, you must die, and this is what I must do when I make a public statement.

At that time, our Jincheng City Public Security Bureau will strongly protest against you, asking you to deal with this case as soon as possible and strictly, send it to trial as soon as possible, and punish the murderer in a canonical manner - however, that is all superficial work, Director Xu, you just need to know it in your heart, don't care too much.

I'll tell you, brother. This case is very strange, not that simple. I was also present when Camp Commander Zhao asked the murderer just now, and I felt that the murderer really didn't know anything, and that expression didn't look like it could be disguised—not good. Is this guy suddenly having a psychotic episode?

But even if he had a psychotic episode and there were hundreds of people at the scene, why did he shoot at you? Is it such a coincidence? ”

Speaking of this, Deng Bonan's face was full of confusion, he shook his head, and sighed: "I can't figure it out!" ”

That "Huang Dan", why did it get rid of itself? This is also a question that Xu Yan couldn't figure out, he was silent for a long time, and suddenly asked, "Director Deng." You say, if you get rid of me, what impact will it have on the handling of this monster case? ”

Deng Bonan's eyes narrowed slightly, he looked thoughtfully at the outline of the trees in the distance, and finally shook his head: "Director Xu, I don't see any impact. Even if- uh, sorry. I'll assume that even if you were killed, there would still be so many police officers and soldiers on our side. The chiefs and experts of the capital will arrive at dawn, and the investigation of the case will continue to be pursued step by step, and there will be no difference, unless—"

Speaking of this, Deng Bonan looked at Xu Yan and hesitated slightly: "Unless." Regarding this monster, Director Xu, what other hidden clues or information do you have, no one but you knows. In this case, if the murderer gets rid of you, it is indeed possible to cause a great obstacle to the investigation of the case. ”

said. Deng Bonan looked at Xu Yan silently, his eyes full of anticipation.

Xu Yan's face twitched slightly, he really didn't know how to answer-should Huang Dan's storage zài be revealed to Deng Bonan? But such an unbelievable and unfounded thing, told Deng Bonan, will he believe it?

After careful consideration, Xu Yan still shook his head slowly, and said, "Director Deng, I do have some guesses about this case, but there is no evidence now. I thought, I'd better look into it first, and I'll report back to you when things get clearer! ”

Deng Bonan was a little disappointed by Xu Yan's answer, but he still calmly nodded: "Well, it's good to figure it out." Director Xu, then I'll wait for your news! ”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The first step in Xu Yan's investigation is to ask the murderer Zhang Nan for questioning.

Lieutenant Zhang Nan was confined to the back seat of a police car, a patrol-style police car with an iron railing separating the back seat from the front seat, which could be used to escort prisoners. On the side of the police car, several policemen and military personnel were standing.

The police and the soldiers stood on either side of the car, guarding the prisoners in the car - looking at the tense atmosphere between the police and the soldiers, Xu Yan felt that their more important task was to monitor each other than to watch the suspects.

The accompanying police officer said hello, and a policeman on guard came up and opened the car door with the key, and he shouted: "Zhang Nan, you come out!" ”

So, an officer in handcuffs slowly got out of the car. At this time, the sky in the east has appeared white, and with a ray of morning light, Xu Yan can see the officer in front of him clearly: this is a young lieutenant officer, he is not wearing a military hat, his hair is shaved short, his appearance is dignified, and the corners of his lips have a faint hair, but his expression looks a little panicked - yes, although he is not wearing a hat, Xu Yan still recognizes that the officer in front of him is the person who just shot at him.

The lieutenant officer stood up from the police car, his face was a little pale and a little panicked, but he still maintained the dignity of an officer and glanced around at everyone around - Xu Yan noticed that when he looked at him, his expression did not show any unusual look, but quickly swept past - obviously, looking at the young Xu Yan, Zhang Nan thought that he was just an ordinary plainclothes policeman, and did not pay special attention.

With this casual glance, Xu Yan also confirmed that the officer named Zhang Nan in front of him really didn't know himself, and he hadn't seen himself.

Xu Yan looked at Zhang Nan, he didn't speak, everyone was not easy to speak, and the scene was quiet. The plainclothes policeman who led Xu Yan over coughed dryly, and he took the initiative to ask Xu Yan: "Director Xu, look, is this this person?" ”

Xu Yan silently diǎn head: "It's him, that's right." ”

"Hehe, so many people watched and caught him red-handed, it must not be wrong - Director Xu, do you want to question him? Need a quiet place for you? If you need to take notes, we have a voice recorder available. ”

"Well, that's fine. I don't need to look for anything special, I'll just ask in the car - you can record it for me, right? ”

"Of course, Director Deng has already explained, let us do our best to provide you with assistance to Director Xu!"

At that moment, the two took Zhang Nan back to the police car and closed the door. Maybe seeing that Xu Yan was too tender, and he was afraid that he was inexperienced, the accompanying police officer said politely: "Director Xu, I will do the tedious work of questioning." It's good that you just look at the finger diǎn from the side, and if something is not right, please feel free to correct and refer to me. ”

This police officer is also in his forties, and he should also be an experienced veteran, Xu Yan can certainly see his good intentions to defend himself, and he diǎndiǎn head: "Thank you, then it's hard!" ”

"Hehe, you're welcome."

In the closed police car, the officer began to question, he took out a voice recorder from his pocket, and asked expressionlessly: "Suspect, I am Li Hui, a police officer from the Jincheng City Public Security Bureau, and this is my police officer card. ”

Zhang Nan sat in the back seat of the police car, holding his head with his hands, looking very depressed. It wasn't until Li Hui asked him a second time that he raised his head, looked at Xu Yan and Li Hui blankly, his lips squirmed, and he said in a low voice: "My name is Zhang Nan, and I serve in the PLA Force, that is, the Second Company of the Police Tong Battalion in the Jincheng Garrison District, and I serve as a lieutenant platoon commander-"

Then, he suddenly became excited: "Officer Li, the question you want to ask has already been asked to me several times just now, and I have answered it several times!" I didn't know Officer Huang and the head from the central government at all, and it was impossible for me to shoot at them! There is no diǎn reason, why should I do this? His emotions were very excited, but his expression was sad, and his eyes were red, as if he was about to cry in the next second. (To be continued.) )
