Xiao Chen is really small, at most one meter six, and he is very "slim", with a baby face, like a fourteen or fifteen-year-old child.

When Xiang Tianliang saw Xiao Chen, he immediately thought of his good friend Chen Dabao in the Municipal Construction Bureau, but Xiao Chen was much more handsome than Chen Dabao.

And the name is also very funny, Xiao Chen's surname is Chen, his name is Xiao Chen, Chen Xiaochen, reading it backwards, the same.

As soon as Xiao Chen got into the car, Xiang Tianliang immediately let the car run.

After a short silence, Xiao Jiannan asked, "Do you know us?" ”

Xiao Chen responded: "Yes, Director Shao Sanhe and Deputy Director Zhou Biyang called and said that you are Deputy Director Xiao of the Municipal Bureau, and you are the deputy county magistrate." ”

"Do you know what you're here for?"

"I know, for the '219 attack on the police' three years ago."

"What's your name?"

"Chen Xiaochen."

"How many years have you been in the police?"

"Four years."

"Oh, how old is it?"

"Twenty-two."

"So, you started working at the age of eighteen?"

"Yes, my dad is also a policeman, four years ago when I graduated from high school, he retired early due to disability in the line of duty, so I gave up the college entrance examination and directly replaced him in the Chengguan Police Station as a policeman."

"Oh, the son inherits his father's business, yes...... What specific work do you do at the police station? ”

"Before the 219 attack on the police, I was a police officer, and I was responsible for my father's pipe, but after the 219 attack on the police, the leader arranged for me to be an internal officer, responsible for file management and on-duty police."

After a pause, Xiao Jiannan continued to ask, "Xiao Chen, I heard that you are good at running?" ”

"I've been sprinting since elementary school."

"Oh, what's the best 100-meter score?"

"When I was in my third year of high school, I participated in the city sports meeting, and I won the 100-meter championship, and my time at that time was 11.97 seconds."

Xiao Jiannan stopped questioning because the car stopped.

The place where the parking is is at the north bank of the West Stone Bridge of the Xiaonan River.

Xiao Chen pointed to the stone bridge and said, "The 219 attack on the police happened on the south bank of the bridge. ”

"Let's go over there." As he spoke, Xiang Tianliang got out of the car first.

It was half past four o'clock in the second half of the night, and the sky was dawning early on the seaside, just when dawn was approaching.

The West Stone Bridge is a flat bridge, made of stone slabs, with a total length of 13 meters, a height of about 1.2 meters, a sidewalk of one meter wide on each side, and a driveway in the middle of which is about four meters wide.

There are no street lights on the bridge, only at the north and south entrances, there is a street lamp on each side, the street lamp is installed on a telephone pole, at least five or six meters above the ground, and the 100-watt incandescent lamp looks like a firefly in the thick night.

As soon as he stepped on the bridge, Xiao Jiannan was zhanzhu.

"Xiao Chen, let's simulate it, I will play Deputy Director Zhou Biyang, and imagine what happened to you and Deputy Director Zhou here when you and Deputy Director Zhou went home that night."

Xiao Chen responded and took the lead in walking forward about ten meters.

"Three years ago, on February 19, when I was still a police officer at the Chengguan Police Station, I had been working for less than ten months, it was during the crackdown, it was very dark and cold at night, after the night shift, the station dealt with several public security cases, and when I went home, it was already more than three o'clock in the second half of the night, I walked home with Director Zhou Biyang, and the two of us found a suspicious person standing on the left side of the bridge railing in the center of the bridge, as if he was throwing something into the river."

Xiao Jiannan asked, "Is it where we are standing now?" ”

"Yes, about fifty meters from where the man is standing."

"What was the visibility like that night?"

"How does it compare to now?"

"Hmm...... It seems to be a little brighter now, almost. ”

"Then you should only be able to see a figure and movements, and you can't see the appearance of a person clearly."

"Yes."

"Okay, let's go on, you talk as you go."

The three of them walked along the stone bridge, continued on their way, and stopped again in the middle of the bridge.

Xiao Chen stood by the bridge railing on the left.

"That man was standing right here."

"And then?" Xiao Jiannan asked.

"Zhou Ju and I were stunned for a while, and then walked here at a normal speed, but the person soon found out, turned around and ran away, Zhou Ju and I hurriedly chased, I ran fast, and soon overtook Zhou Ju, and after a while, I approached that person, but when that person approached the south entrance of the bridge, he suddenly accelerated his running speed."

Xiao Jiannan sighed, "Suddenly speeding up your running?" That is to say, he didn't run away with all his might at first? ”

"yes, it feels like that."

"So, how much slower do you think he is than you after he suddenly sped up running?"

"Almost."

Xiao Jiannan asked again: "Xiao Chen, didn't you and Zhou Ju shout?" ”

"Nope."

"Weishenme doesn't shout?"

Xiao Chen said: "Because I stayed up all night during the Zhou Bureau, my voice was hoarse, and I couldn't shout if I wanted to, I didn't shout because my father taught me that when chasing the escapee, if you shout, because your breathing is disrupted, it will slow down the speed of the pursuit, so when there is no one else around, you don't need to shout, catch the escapee first." ”

Xiao Jiannan snorted, "You go on." ”

The three of them walked towards the south bank of the stone bridge.

Xiao Chen continued: "When I was about to chase to the south bank of the stone bridge, the man turned to the left, but he suddenly became zhanzhu, and he was able to stop so steadily in the sprint, I was a little blind, he pulled the gun to shoot, I was caught off guard, I didn't have time to see his face and the action of pulling the gun, his gun went off." ”

Xiao Jiannan asked, "Where did he hit you?" ”

"Pierced my lungs in the chest."

"How far are you from him?"

"It should be less than five meters."

"Less than five meters, you didn't even see his face?"

Xiao Chen walked a few steps and came to the street lamp on the left side of the south bank entrance, and was zhanzhu by the telephone pole.

"He's standing right here, his left shoulder against the telephone pole, with his back to the street lamp on the right, and the street light on this side, because it's blocked by the brim of his hat, I can only see his side face, but it's very blurry."

Xiao Jiannan muttered, "What a wonderful position." ”

Xiao Chen said: "After I was shot, I fell to the ground and fainted, and I fell there...... I don't know what happened next. ”

Xiao Jiannan nodded, stood by the telephone pole for a while, and walked back to the place where Xiao Chen fell.

Xiang Tianliang lay on the left bridge railing, without saying a word, smoking a cigarette while looking at the dark bridge.

Xiao Jiannan also lit a cigarette, "Xiao Chen, aren't you wearing a gun?" ”

"I had a gun, but there was a rule in the office that you were not allowed to carry a weapon with me after work, so I didn't carry a gun that night."

Xiao Jiannan nodded and said, "Xiao Chen, you didn't bring a gun that night, but you saved your life." ”

"This, this is weishenme?"

Xiao Jiannan said: "The police are in distress, pulling out a gun is the first reaction, that person sees that you don't have a gun, he knows that you don't have a gun, so he only shoots at you, if you pull out a gun, he will definitely shoot you a second or even a third shot." ”

"Oh, no wonder he shot at Zhou."

"Do you know what's going on?"

"The rest of the story, I woke up in the hospital three days later and listened to my colleagues in the office."

Xiao Jiannan sat down on the sidewalk, "Xiao Chen, you come and listen." ”

Xiao Chen said: "When that person shot at me, Zhou Ju was about fifteen meters away from him, Zhou Ju took out his gun, but the speed of that person was too fast, when Zhou Ju opened the gun safe, he turned the muzzle of the gun and shot at Zhou Ju, he fired three shots at Zhou Ju, all of them were in the abdomen of Zhou Ju, Zhou Ju fired two shots at the man, one shot was a stink bomb, and one shot hit the man, but it didn't hit the vital point, and he escaped by luck...... Three minutes after the shootout, colleagues who were patrolling the streets rushed over......

It is said that Deputy Director Zhang Meng was the first to arrive at the scene, he was the deputy captain of the criminal investigation brigade of the county bureau at that time, and he happened to be leading people to patrol the street, so he came quickly, but the scene left no other valuable clues except for the bullet casings of four five-fourth pistols, and then, the county bureau quickly responded, and within half an hour, blocked all the roads out of the city, and then mobilized all the police forces that could be mobilized, plus the garrison and armed militia, at least a thousand people, and carried out a carpet search of Chengguan Town overnight. The principal leaders of the county party committee made a decision and conducted a house-to-house search, which lasted 13 hours, but not the slightest trace was found, and the person disappeared like air......

After being silent for a while, Xiao Jiannan looked at Xiao Chen and asked, "Xiao Chen, do you think that person is a man or a woman?" ”

"This ......" Xiao Chen hesitated.

"What, is there anything you can't say?"

"It's not."

"Then you say."

Xiao Chen accompanied him and said carefully: "After the case, all the experts, seniors, and colleagues, after investigation and analysis, confirmed that the person was a man, more than 1.73 meters tall, fat, from the side, the hair was relatively long, the face was round, the nose was more prominent, judging from the body shape, pace and movements, the age should be over thirty years old, not like a young or middle-aged person, but, but ......"

"But what?"

"But, before I got shot, I saw the man laugh a little."

"Laughed?"

"Yes, it's a woman's laugh."

"Are you sure?"

"I confirm."

"How can you be sure that his smile is a woman's laugh?"

"Anyway, I think only women laugh like that, and besides, I seem to have seen it somewhere, but then, I just can't remember."

Xiao Jiannan nodded again, "Who did you tell this detail?" ”

"When I woke up, it was already three days after the incident, and at that time the provincial and municipal experts had already made a conclusion that it was a man, and I told this detail, and the experts all thought that it was my hallucination, and they also said that I had a concussion and was stimulated, so I skipped this detail, and later Zhou Ju and I discussed this detail, but I have not been able to figure it out."

"Damn it, damn expert." Xiao Jiannan scolded.

At this time, Xiang Tianliang next to him suddenly said, "It's so cold." ”
