The pines and cypresses in the Qingshan Cemetery are evergreen, and the warm spring sun hangs obliquely above the head, combined with the unique tranquility and tranquility of the cemetery, which makes people have an urge to open their hearts and tell their hearts.

Lao Zhou followed his memory and walked slowly up the high steps, Sang Nianyuan's tomb, in an inconspicuous corner, Lao Zhou took a lot of trouble to barely recognize it from the multiple tombstones. I heard that it was not easy for the orphans and widows of the Sang family to afford such a tomb, and they almost emptied their families, although many people did not believe it and thought that they were deliberately pretending to be poor, but at that time, Lao Zhou was a little more firm in his belief that Sang Nianyuan was innocent.

On a small tablet, the three words Sang Nianyuan seem so imposing. Unlike other tombstones, he didn't even hang a photo, the sturdy northwest man who was originally more than 1.8 meters tall is now lying in such a narrow cemetery, even if it is just a handful of ashes, Lao Zhou also feels aggrieved for him.

There is a lot of ash on the tombstone, the whole looks gray and dirty, and at the joints between the tombstone and the ground, there are a few bushes of weeds that stubbornly poke out of their heads, adding a bit of desolation, obviously no one has come to sweep the tomb for Sang Nianyuan for a long time.

Lao Zhou sighed slightly, took out a handkerchief, and carefully wiped the tombstone, Sang Nianyuan's three words, and he meticulously cleaned the floating soil hidden inside. After doing all this, he put down the white chrysanthemum, lit a cigarette, and laid it flat on the tombstone: "Brother Sang, I've come to see you." I can't help but not come here for so many years. Alas, I'm also old, and there are a lot of things that I don't want to think about, and I don't dare to think about it, and I forget everything, I just remember that you still like to smoke this Hongta Mountain. I've brought you a whole pack, and I'll leave it for you to smoke slowly. Old Zhou babbled and gossiped for a long time. In fact, he didn't know why he came here, maybe because subconsciously, he still believed that Sang Nianyuan was innocent.

He looked at the place where the photos were placed on the general tombstones, there were originally photos here, it is said that the sister-in-law of the Sang family chose a certificate wearing a police uniform to make a posthumous portrait, and somehow the families of the five policemen who died when he was arrested knew that the grief of losing their loved ones could not be vented because of Sang Nianyuan's death, and they couldn't whip a person who had been dead for a long time to relieve the hatred in their hearts, but the grief suppressed in their hearts always needed a channel to vent. Sang Nianyuan has already subdued the law. Then their families deserve the wrath of the victims' families.

As soon as they heard that such a murderer who had committed many crimes could still put a photo of him wearing a police uniform on the tombstone after his death, the families of the police officers who died in the line of duty were furious, and the action of the L City Public Security Bureau was very fast. The decision on how to deal with Sang Nianyuan had come out before he was buried. Dismissal from public office. Expulsion from the party. This was a very severe punishment at the time, and meant the destruction of an enemy both mentally and physically. After Sang Nianyuan's death, his reputation can be said to be on the stinky street of L City. So the families of these victims are united. rushed to Sang's house, not only smashed all the photos of him wearing a police uniform at home, but even the one on the tombstone was not spared, even if the sister-in-law of the Sang family was very persistent in washing out these photos again and again, she couldn't support the family members to snatch them up and tear them up again and again.

In the end, the sister-in-law of the Sang family knew that what she was doing was meaningless except to add unhappiness to her own life, so she finally went with them.

Lao Zhou can almost imagine that Sang Nianyuan has become a rat-like existence in L City, and his reputation is like this, what kind of life will the mother and son of the Sang family live. He is too famous in L City, he is well-known in the streets, and even his family is also famous.

I remember that their son was just in the first year of junior high school, and he wrote an essay called My Dad, which won the first prize in the essay competition for primary and secondary school students in the city. At the school, there should be many people who know that he is Sang Nianyuan's son.

The wall fell down and everyone pushed it, and people's tolerance for good people to become bad people was very low, not to mention that Sang Nianyuan's positive image was too perfect at the beginning, which directly led to how popular his son Sang Sirui was before and how excluded he was after the accident. In fact, half-grown children sometimes do things that make adults feel frightened, they think they understand the world, but their minds are not yet mature, they will be more ruthless and ruthless than adults, and they will leave no room for things. Maybe they were unintentional, but their ridicule and their exclusion would leave an indelible scar on Sansrui's young heart.

Later, Lao Zhou seemed to hear a colleague mention it, saying that Sang Sirui, who used to be excellent in character and learning, started to fight and skip school, and never went to school after graduating from junior high school, but he didn't know what to do now. But thinking that he is now in his thirties, after so long, no one should care if he is Sang Nianyuan's son or not, finding a stable job, getting married and having children, and living this life plainly may be the best for him.

Gradually, the wind picked up, and Lao Zhou heard a few horns from afar, thinking that the taxi driver who sent him was urging. After all, this is a cemetery, and the living will always instinctively be in awe of the dead. It was a little dark, and it was not a wise choice to stay here for too long.

Lao Zhou took apart a box of cigarettes, lit them all one by one, lined up in front of Sang Nianyuan's tombstone, and then walked away without looking back.

It wasn't until Lao Zhou's figure gradually disappeared into the twilight that a man dressed in black paced out of the shadow of a pine and cypress, staring at Sang Nianyuan's tombstone with heavy eyes, and muttered, "What kind of person are you?" Say you are a good person, but with such an unbearable reputation, you were shot dead by the police on the spot, buried in such a desolate small cemetery, and no one came to see you all year round. Your name has long been taboo in the police world, and whenever and wherever you accidentally mention it, you will immediately divert the topic and say something else, as if you never existed. Those few guns are ironclad evidence of your crimes, and when you mention the name Sang Nianyuan, the first thing people think of is not how many criminal suspects you have arrested, how many big and important cases you have solved, but how disgraceful your death was. Let's say you're a bad person, but everything you've done is well documented, and half of the guards in L City were filled up because of you. After you died, your parents, wife, and children had nothing to live on, and if you really made a profit, where did the money go? The man picked up a half-burned cigarette butt, stuffed it into his mouth and sucked it hard, then coughed uncontrollably, coughing so much that tears flowed out: "This thing, I really can't bear it!" I'll leave it to you to smoke slowly. ”

The man put the cigarette back again, and finally said solemnly: "Sang Nianyuan, I have no grievances with you in the past and no enmity in the near future." But do something in your name. If you really are a black cop. If you die unjustly, I guarantee that your picture in your police uniform will be displayed on your tombstone. You、If you sign Izumishita, there is knowledge. Bless me. No one answered him. But the pine and cypress all around. It swayed in the wind and made a dull sound, which at first glance sounded. Like someone is crying.

The man quickly left, and the cigarette butts and ashes were blown away by the wind, leaving only a handful of white chrysanthemums, indicating that someone had just arrived

The autopsy results of the three corpses in the beauty salon came out quickly. The female deceased died about one to two hours earlier than the two male deceased, and there were two sharp wounds to her abdomen, both of which were fatal, and the knife inserted in her stomach could be identified as the murder weapon after comparison, and no fingerprints were found on the handle of the knife, so it was obvious that the murderer was wearing gloves and had a certain sense of anti-reconnaissance.

The two male deceased died in close proximity, each of them was shot once and killed by one shot, without the slightest drag in the slightest. Judging from the scene, the murderer's target should be two male deceased, the female deceased was just an additional injury, and the murderer was not even willing to waste bullets on her, but chose the dagger as a tool of crime.

It can also be seen from the sequence of killing several deceased that after killing the female deceased, the murderer stayed at the scene for more than an hour, and was alone with Fang Rui, until Bai Jianshe was impatient and broke in to find someone, which alarmed the murderer and caused him to shoot and kill people in the downtown area in a hurry.

Firearms have recoil, and anyone with a little common sense knows it. People who have not undergone professional training to touch a gun for the first time can do it one at a time, and the probability of accurately knocking down two people is extremely low. Therefore, the murderer must have touched the gun before, and this characteristic of the suspect, if it is changed to any other city, maybe there are very few qualified people, and after some investigation and investigation, the suspect can be roughly locked. However, L City is a special case, and the popularity of family-style gun processing workshops has made the proliferation of guns in L City a serious social problem, driven by huge profits. Illegal possession of firearms is a felony, and these people who take risks know it better, so they and their families, everybody, use guns, so that they can compete with the police if necessary. In addition, L City is also a paradise for people who are very interested in firearms, and they will basically have a gun in the fun. There are many shooting ranges in L City, and there are many places to practice with real guns under the cover of imitation guns. Therefore, the fact that the murderer had experience in the use of firearms is basically useless in L City.

In the end, the police had to focus their investigation on Fang Ruicai. The police speculated that the murderer wanted to know something from Fang Ruicai's mouth, and during the interrogation, Bai Jianjian, who suddenly broke in, hit the muzzle of the gun and was finally killed.

What is the news worth three lives in exchange? Fang Ruicai's wife said that he did not know, and his own work was only the processing and sales of agricultural products, and there were no trade secrets worthy of other people's attention. The police investigated and investigated, and they almost dug out Fang Ruicai's eighteenth generation of his ancestors, but they still did not understand the murderer's motive for committing the crime.

The higher-level leaders followed the case closely, and the case-handling personnel were under great psychological pressure, and they also wanted to solve the case as soon as possible, but the criminals were too cunning and well hidden, and they did not leave much chance for the police at all.

If the case can't be solved, the whole team will have to follow it. In L City, gun-related cases are not uncommon, and there must be several cases every year, why does this case get so much attention from the superiors? Isn't it that the murderer is a little bolder, and the location of the crime is in the downtown area, and the time of the crime is broad daylight?

Those who have been in the police for a short time and have not experienced the Sang Nianyuan incident are confused, and they have been criticized one after another, so they must find out what makes them so embarrassed.

What the higher-level leaders didn't expect was that they wanted to solve the case quickly, seize the murder weapon, and suppress the involvement with Sang Nianyuan's case 16 years ago. As for which gun was used in the crime, it is not up to them how to say and calculate, everything can be covered up seamlessly.

The relevant personnel who had handled Sang Nianyuan's case could still sit back and relax, and the black gauze hats on their heads were stable.

Is it so easy to expose unjust, false and wrongful cases? Setting things right or anything is really not a pleasant job. Let's put it this way, there is an unwritten rule within the Public Security Bureau, even if there is 10 out of 10 percent evidence to prove that the case is handled in a problematic manner, as long as there is no compulsory order from the superior leader and no interference from the procuratorate and court, no one will have enough to go over other people's old cases. Because if you do this, your peers will regard you as a traitor, maybe the matter will be in the end, and the other relevant responsible persons will not be good, and this policeman who dares to provoke trouble will only be more miserable.

The Public Security Bureau is a united collective, where it is difficult to stand alone, no matter what you do, you need the understanding and support of others, and no one wants to be a partner with someone who can stab themselves at any time, because they will wonder if one day he will also put his hand on his own case.

What are you going to do with a partner who can't fully trust and hand over your back to the other person? The work of the criminal police is so dangerous, no one will joke with their lives.

Therefore, we often hear that it took more than ten years for a certain unjust, false and wrongful case to finally settle the grievances, and the fundamental reason is that there are too many people involved in all aspects, and no one is willing to take over such a hot potato, to find fault with the mistakes of their predecessors, and to make themselves not human inside and out. Whether it's cold or cold, it's just that you are in the middle of it, and you have to work hard to adapt to the rules of the game in between. The police also have their own rules of survival, and it is just human instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. So Sang Nianyuan's matter is just a small flaw, and they just smooth it out quietly.

I didn't expect the leader's attention, but it backfired, the case-handling personnel were not stupid, the wind direction was not clear to them, and finally someone took out Sang Nianyuan's matter from the mouth of the old criminal policeman, and it became an open secret by word of mouth.
