Chapter 59: Hitting a Wall
The depth of this lake is there, and if you want to go into the water to search, it is not the same as the small ditch around the place where Ke Xiaowen was killed before, just a few people, with a pole on the side, pick it up, turn it over, it can be solved, this depth, I am afraid that even Wang Ge and their professionals who are responsible for cleaning up the garbage in the lake in the park may not be able to find out the bottom, this matter, Dai Xu really ran to Wang Ge first to confirm, and learned that the water is relatively deep in this area, They could only deal with the garbage floating on the water, and there was nothing they could do about the underwater, so they finally called the bureau and contacted Yang Cheng, the captain of the brigade, and reported the current situation and the conclusions he had speculated to Yang Cheng, hoping that he could help coordinate and conduct a search in the water for the artificial lake in this park to see if it could be found as expected.
Although Yang Cheng also attaches great importance to Dai Xu's report on the past situation, and thinks that his speculation based on existing clues is very reasonable, but City A is not a coastal city, and there are almost no rivers with relatively large waters and deep indoors, so there are not many times when it is necessary to involve underwater search or salvage on weekdays, so the Public Security Bureau itself does not have special personnel in this area. This matter is not something that Yang Cheng can make a decision alone, Yang Cheng personally expressed his support, but if he reports to the higher level, can the superior leaders understand, or if this matter is tossed to the end, nothing will be found. It's just an empty game, how to end it, this is very realistic. It's also a bit tricky.
If he couldn't have a reasonable statement and plan, Yang Cheng didn't dare to ask the leader directly.
"Brigade Yang, I am still relatively confident in this matter, and the results of this search will also have a great impact on the nature of the entire case. Whether it is a targeted revenge hunt or other more harmful situations depends on the result of one time. Dai Xu used a rare solemn attitude. said to Yang Cheng, "So please ask the leader for instructions, if this matter is messed up, I will bear the responsibility alone." ”
"Good. I'm going to ask the leader for instructions. Yang Cheng heard Dai Xu say this, but he also agreed, not to mention anything else, the two generals under him, one Dai Xu and one Zhong Han, because of their excellent performance before coming to City A, as well as their good results after arriving in City A. is still relatively well-known in the bureau, and he also has a bit of face on the side of the bureau leaders. So if this matter is insisted on by Dai Xu, maybe it will be brought up by others, and the chance of success is slightly greater, of course, there is another question, "Dai Xu, let me ask you, do you have a lot of confidence in this matter?" When it comes to going to other units to coordinate helpers, and going into the water to search, if there is such a big movement, it causes a sensation in the society, and nothing is found, this consequence is not something you can bear if you say it, and you have to take into account the seriousness. ”
"Don't worry, I've thought about it," replied Dai Xu without thinking, "and I'm also confident that one student is dead anyway, and another student is alive and dead, and there is no body alive, so we have to have an explanation." ”
Yang Cheng pondered for a moment on the other end of the phone, and finally agreed: "Okay, then I'll go and ask for instructions." ”
While waiting for the feedback from the Yang team, Dai Xu took Fang Yuan to talk to the people who cleaned up the lake, especially the groups of people who were responsible for the shallow water, mainly to ask if they had found anything unusual at the bottom of the lake when they were cleaning up the garbage, and those people said that they had not found anything wrong after recalling, and their attitude was very determined, they said that in the shallow water, there was a lot of mud under the water, and they used a special rake to rake the silt at the bottom of the lake, so if there was anything, It has long been dug out.
Among these people, a few of them also heard about Wang Ge fishing out a schoolbag from the water, so they also made a judgment along this line of thought, and asked Dai Xu and Fang Yuan if they suspected that a student was drowning, Dai Xu and they accepted such a statement, nodded and admitted, those people were very enthusiastic and said that it must not be on this side of the shallow water, because they have really cleaned it very carefully, and they won't even find a person that big in the water, even if they are, it must be on the side of the water depth, because it is deep, So they can't get it.
Because of Dai Xu and Fang Yuan's acquiescence, almost all of these people believed that there might be a student drowning in the lake, so that the matter of hooking a schoolbag out of the lake became much easier to understand.
"I'll just say, how can you fish out a schoolbag from the lake in a good way, maybe it was a student, the schoolbag fell into the water, and he wanted to fish, but he accidentally fell into it." A middle-aged woman sighed very regretfully, looking at her age, she should also be a person with children.
Another man of the same age as her also sighed: "But isn't it, and if that's the case, it should be that child's bad luck, and when he falls, there must be no one around the black lights, otherwise if it's daylight, there are people around, and no one can find out, no one knows." ”
"Alas, if this really drowned a student, this family doesn't know how sad it is!" The middle-aged woman shook her head, sighed a few times, and walked away again to clean up the rotten grass they had fished out of the lake.
Dai Xu and Fang Yuan's hearts were also not very calm, the reason why they were able to ask Yang Cheng for instructions, hoping to find someone to conduct an underwater search in the lake, was nothing more than because the schoolbag and the books in it could be determined that they were from the same school and the same grade as Ke Xiaowen, just like the question they had raised at the beginning, there were a few senior high school students who would lose their entire schoolbag and fall into the lake?
Therefore, they immediately thought of Duan Feiyu, who had not appeared for a long time, Duan Feiyu's parents mentioned that when Duan Feiyu ran away from home, he was still carrying a schoolbag, carrying his study books and exercise books, and Wang Ge found the schoolbag from the lake. There are indeed books and exercise books, and with the strange handwriting on Duan Feiyu's runaway letter, the possibility that this schoolbag has some kind of connection with Duan Feiyu has increased.
But they couldn't immediately call or call Duan Feiyu's parents to the public security bureau to identify the bag. A schoolbag soaked in water may or may not be Duan Feiyu's, and even if this schoolbag is identified by Duan Feiyu's parents and determined to belong to their son, it cannot explain Duan Feiyu's current whereabouts and safety, except for making the couple who were already living in a difficult situation lose their last bit of hope and belief. And it didn't really help.
If it turns out in the end that it was really Duan Feiyu who had an accident, maybe it would be better to say something, for Duan Feiyu's parents. It's also the difference between knowing the bad news earlier and knowing the bad news later, but what if it's just an oolong and Duan Feiyu doesn't die? Isn't that Feiyu's parents tantamount to being stimulated in vain?
In addition, just like before, Dai Xu and Fang Yuan couldn't bear to say it in front of Duan Feiyu's parents. Duan Feiyu's father took the initiative to express the same possibility. Duan Feiyu's whereabouts are unknown, it may be a misunderstanding, it may be that he has become a victim, and there is also a possibility that he himself is a suspect. If Duan Feiyu is really a suspect, then it makes sense that he threw his schoolbag in the lake and chose to flee or hide far away. Something very likely.
So in the absence of a conclusive conclusion, it is not possible to rule out any one of the possibilities. Dai Xu and Fang Yuan decided not to alarm Duan Feiyu's parents, even if it was temporary, to make their lives a little quieter.
After waiting for a while, the captain Yang Cheng finally called back and told Dai Xu that the leader had agreed to his request after careful consideration, but asked him to make things clear and not make trouble, Dai Xu gave Yang Cheng a guarantee on the phone, and told Yang Cheng where they were now, and Yang Cheng said that he would personally lead the team over in a while. It can be heard that Yang Cheng also attaches great importance to the next thing.
About half an hour later, several cars drove in along the small road between the woods in the park, and it was obvious that motor vehicles were not allowed to enter the park on weekdays, but this time the situation was special, so the park also treated it in special circumstances, and the cars brought by the public security bureau were released. The car stopped on the side of the road closest to the lake, Yang Cheng was the first to get out of a car in front, and several colleagues from the criminal police team came down from the two cars behind, as well as a few underwater search professionals with equipment, all walking straight towards Dai Xu.
"I brought it to you, let's see what to do next." Yang Cheng pointed to the person behind him and said to Dai Xu, "You and Fang Yuan have just had a general understanding of the situation around here, right?" Where to start, let the two of you make arrangements, and the others will do their best to cooperate with you. ”
Dai Xu looked at the people who came behind him, and found that there were only two people who really carried the launching equipment, which was much less than he expected, he was slightly stunned, and asked, "Are there only two people?" ”
"Yes, we don't usually need to search underwater, so there is still a shortage of talents in this area, which was borrowed from the armed police by the bureau leaders with great difficulty, and the conditions are limited, so we can only overcome it." Yang Cheng's expression was also a little difficult, nodded and said to Dai Xu.
Dai Xu's brows furrowed slightly, but what was the situation in City A, he also knew in his heart, so the leaders of the bureau were already very supportive if they could borrow people, and they couldn't ask for more, he exchanged a few words with Yang Cheng, and walked over to greet and introduce the situation to the professionals borrowed from the armed police.
Fang Yuan didn't expect that there were only two people who could really carry out an underwater search, and colleagues from other teams followed over, and they could borrow the boat of the park management office to do some auxiliary work nearby, such as picking up people underwater, or if they found something, helping to pull things in the water onto the boat, or something like that.
Fewer people means low efficiency, but low efficiency is better than no efficiency, Fang Yuan took advantage of Dai Xu's efforts to communicate with the two armed police professionals about the situation here, and hurriedly ran to communicate with the people from the park management office about the use of boats, of course, the other party agreed without any hesitation, and after a while, he rowed three or four boats from the lake, and the person rowing on one of the boats was Wang Ge, who had just dealt with them, and it could be seen that Wang Ge had received so much attention from the police because he had picked up his schoolbag, It seems that there is still a little bit of excitement.
When the boat came, the communication on Dai Xu's side was about the same, and they decided to divide the cruise area into several areas, using small boats as a marker, and the two frogmen carefully checked one area after another, hoping that nothing would be missed.
Now that everything was arranged, everyone was divided into four groups and boarded four boats, two frogmen got into one of the boats, and the park staff rowed the boat to the designated area that Dai Xu had pointed out, and the two frogmen went into the water with their equipment. Fang Yuan stood on the boat, waiting apprehensively.
From borrowing people to coming, it took some time, tossing down, it was already in the afternoon, the days in late autumn have become much shorter than in summer, the artificial lake in the park is surrounded by forests, as soon as the sun falls to the west, it immediately disappears in the forest, the temperature seems to have dropped a few degrees suddenly, the lake is not covered, the wind is also extremely cold, Fang Yuan has been standing on the boat for a long time, and he is also a little trembling, the situation of other people is half a pound and eight taels with her, and it is not warm.
The progress of the two frogmen under the water is not very smooth, although their equipment has a headlamp for lighting, but the water quality of this lake is not good, it can even be said to be very poor, there is silt at the bottom of the lake, the lake water is also green and turbid, the lake water transmittance is average, the underwater visibility is not high, and the two people are under Dai Xu's advice, do not dare to have the slightest sloppiness, in the designated area is very careful little by little investigation, after checking the two divided areas one after another, still nothing, but at this time the sky has darkened, Not to mention that the people on the boat on the water are almost frozen, even the two frogmen are the same, their wetsuits can temporarily isolate the cold of the water and retain the heat of body temperature, but after soaking in the water for so long, the cold will slowly penetrate the wetsuit, and the two people still have no harvest in the second area, and when they surfaced, their lips were cold and white.
Yang Cheng immediately decided to let the two armed police soldiers get on the boat, the time was not early, it was about to get dark, the visibility in the water during the day was not ideal, let alone after dark, there was no need to let them freeze under the water, so everyone was ready to close the team, and the rest of the next day continued.
"Dai Xu, these two comrades of the armed police, I am in charge of arranging it tonight," After going ashore, Yang Cheng called Dai Xu aside, his expression was a little serious, "Tomorrow, I will give you another day, if you haven't gained anything, you can't continue to toss here anyway."
