Chapter 44: Order and the Bottom Line

Just when Zheng Cangqiong and Tang Shouzheng were eating hot pot, talking about rivers and lakes, and talking about the rules, in the main house of the Jiuqi ancestral house, something happened that surprised Qian Xiuye and Chen Taidong - Yu Zhongyuan committed suicide.

Yu Zhongyuan swallowed the poison that had been prepared a long time ago and died in front of Chen Taidong and Qian Xiuye.

The moment he fell, Chen Taidong was very surprised, and immediately stepped forward to support him, and when he was about to call someone, Yu Zhongyuan grabbed his hand and said in a low voice: "Tell Brother Cangqiong, I will do what I say and keep it a secret forever." ”

After speaking, Yu Zhongyuan closed his eyes and died, Chen Taidong was stunned, his last words before his death echoed repeatedly in his mind, and Qian Xiuye slapped his palm on the chair, slapped the armrests to pieces, and said angrily: "Zheng Cangqiong, you old ghost!" Don't think that's going to stop me! ”

After that, Qian Xiuye rushed out, but Chen Taidong didn't stop him, just watched him disappear into the darkness of the courtyard.

In the distance outside the courtyard, Yan Gang and Wu Zhihai saw Qian Xiuye jump from the wall of the courtyard with their own eyes, Wu Zhihai wanted to chase, but Yan Gang stopped him and said: "Don't chase, Mr. Zheng said, let him run, now it's fishing, the fish has bitten the bait, just grab the fishing rod, just follow the line, and wait for the fish to get tired, and then lift the rod." ”

Wu Zhihai stopped and nodded: "I just feel a pity." ”

"There are countless small fish behind the big fish, and our goal is to catch them all." Yan Gang yawned and said, "Let's go, go in and see if there's anything we can help." ”

In the riverside cabin, the well-fed Zheng Cangqiong wiped his mouth, rolled the toilet paper into a ball, threw it into the trash, sat and looked at Tang Shouzheng, and asked seriously: "Shouzheng, instigating others to commit suicide, how will it be judged?" ”

"Legally speaking, suicide is an act of harming one's own body, and the person who commits suicide has the right to make his own choice, and choosing to harm himself does not constitute a crime, so instigating suicide does not constitute a crime, but using methods such as inducement, coercion, or coercion to cause a person who does not have the intention to commit suicide to have suicidal ideation and commit suicide, and the instigator subjectively has intentional homicide, and objectively carries out the act of abetment, it shall be punished as the crime of intentional homicide." Tang Shouzheng said clearly, "This is just a general idea of what I said, and the specifics depend on the specific circumstances of the case, but in my opinion, instigating suicide and murder is the same meaning." ”

Zheng Cangqiong nodded: "I broke the law tonight, I instigated a person to commit suicide, this person is not dead, my bureau has no way to spread, and Qian Xiuye can't get in, after I finish the whole thing, I will definitely surrender myself, but before that, I hope you can still help me and improve this bureau." ”

Tang Shouzheng closed his eyes and said: "As long as it is a good thing, I will do it, and my principle is this." ”

"It must be a good thing." Zheng Cangqiong got up, "Thank you for the hot pot, I ate very comfortably, probably the most comfortable meal I had before I died." ”

Tang Shouzheng lit a cigarette again: "If you really die, I will send you on your last journey, don't worry." ”

Zheng Cangqiong leaned over and smiled: "Shouzheng, if I am sentenced to death, can I let you carry it out?" ”

Tang Shouzheng just laughed, still not looking up at Zheng Cangqiong: "Now they are all lethal injections, and they don't eat guns, do you want me to help you press the switch?" ”

Zheng Cangqiong straightened up: "If possible, you can press the best." ”

After speaking, Zheng Cangqiong left, and Tang Shouzheng finally raised his eyes to look at the door, but only saw the lonely figure that Zheng Cangqiong threw into the cabin.

"Why does justice always have to be written in blood?" Tang Shouzheng stared at the still boiling pot and muttered to himself.

Two hours after Zheng Cangqiong left, Gou Mo led Wu Zhihai to appear at the door, after the two entered the house, they saw Zheng Cangqiong's remaining dishes and chopsticks, and seemed to realize something, Tang Shouzheng raised his eyes to look at the two retired policemen who opened an interrogation company, and said with a smile: "It's late, Zheng Cangqiong is gone." ”

Wu Zhihai sighed and looked outside: "Sure enough, I'm looking for you." ”

Gou Mo stepped forward directly, opened a bottle of beer, and before he drank it, he explained first: "I don't drive, Zhihai drives, so don't tell me not to drink and drive." ”

Tang Shouzheng just smiled and didn't speak, while Wu Zhihai stood behind Master Gou Mo in an orderly manner.

After Gou Mo drank half a bottle of beer, he wiped his mouth: "I knew that Zheng Cangqiong would come to you, what did he do with you?" Is it serious? ”

"It depends on which point of view." Tang Shouzheng smoked a cigarette slowly, and his tone was also very slow, "From our point of view, the death of Wan Qingquan, Cai Nayun and a series of stand-ins is a strange case, but now it can be regarded as the truth has been revealed, and the case has been solved, but the case cannot be truly defined, in other words, as before, there is no way to announce it." ”

Gou Mo raised his hand and motioned for him to stop talking: "I'll call someone in, you tell him." ”

After Gou Mo finished speaking, Wu Zhihai walked out of the cabin, looked at Fu Mingwei and Yan Gang who were standing there waiting, and motioned for Fu Mingwei to go in.

Previously, Wu Zhihai and Yan Gang walked into the courtyard and found Yu Zhongyuan after committing suicide, they immediately left according to Chen Taidong's instructions, and Chen Taidong also left immediately, because the police were about to arrive, but what they didn't expect was that when the patrol police arrived, Fu Mingwei, who had been paying close attention to the police call, also led the team to arrive, and he was accompanied by Wu Zhihai's master, that is, the retired old policeman Gou Mo, who led Wu Zhihai to open an interrogation company.

The reason why Fu Mingwei wanted to find Gou Mo was completely out of helplessness, he thought that many things were beyond his control, so he thought of his grandfather Tang Shouzheng, and he only had a one-sided relationship with Tang Shouzheng, so he could only go to Gou Mo to help introduce him.

After Fu Mingwei entered the house, Wu Zhihai tightened his gloves and asked Yan Gang on the side of the boat: "You say, what is this?" I originally wanted to hide it from my master, but now it's okay, my master was called out by Fu Mingwei, my master came out of the mountain, my master went out, for decades, this is the first time in Harbin, you say, what kind of organization is so terrifying? ”

Yan Gang looked at the frozen river in the distance and said, "In their profession, there are many things that are very difficult to explain. ”

Wu Zhihai knew the meaning of Yan Gang's words, and understood that it was useless to say more, so he had to take out a cigarette and wait while smoking.

In the cabin, Gou Mo, Fu Mingwei and Tang Shouzheng sat on the edge of the hot pot, Tang Shouzheng got up and took an empty bowl and chopsticks, handed them to Fu Mingwei, and pointed to the spices next to him: "You're welcome, make it yourself, there is still food in the refrigerator, if you don't dislike it, eat some." ”

Fu Mingwei thanked him, mixed the seasonings, sandwiched his hairy belly and soaked it in the hot pot, and did not speak.

"Let me tell you a story, I suddenly remembered that story, this story is quite interesting, it has nothing to do with our police, it happened to the transportation management department, about ten years ago." Tang Shouzheng lit another cigarette, and the cigarette in his hand was not broken, "That was an incident that happened in Shuangcheng, at that time, there were a lot of black cars there, that is, there were a lot of illegally operated vehicles, more than now, and they couldn't be managed at all, that year he was newly appointed as the director of a transportation management office, and he roughly counted that there were at least more than 300 illegally operated vehicles in his jurisdiction, and they were all organized, there were two leaders, and the black cars that these two people bought and ran at their own expense added up to a total of twenty, but these two people have seniority and strength, Everyone else listens to their ......"

Speaking of this, Tang Shouzheng pointed to the pot: "The hairy belly can't be shabu for so long, and the shabu can't be chewed when it's old." ”

After Tang Shouzheng's words were finished, Fu Mingwei, who was stunned, lifted his chopsticks, blew his hairy belly and chewed it in his mouth, but he really couldn't chew anymore.

Tang Shouzheng looked at Fu Mingwei's mouth, and said: "These people don't do anything other than illegal operations, more than 300 vehicles, you can't catch them all, what should you do?" The director thought for a long time and found that these cars basically had to pass through a toll station, so he found the stationmaster of this toll station and asked him, are these cars often unwilling to pay tolls? The answer is yes. So the director came up with a plan, found the two leaders, and told them that he was willing to come forward and find other bosses to invest in them, and open a taxi company for them, regular, and at the same time, they could also reduce the bridge tolls of the twenty cars bought by the two of them themselves, on the condition that they had to find a way to persuade other illegal car owners to enter the regular taxi company, how to do it? That's the handle is sold, and the three families buy a taxi to run it together, and guess what's the result? ”

Gou Mo didn't speak, and turned his head to look at Fu Mingwei.

Fu Mingwei, who has been chewing on his hairy belly, said: "The new taxi company was established, and the number of illegally operated vehicles has been reduced to a record low, from a personal point of view, this matter has great benefits to the two leaders, under the premise of benefits, they will not put legitimate money without earning, and at the same time, in the name of bringing others to get rich, reduce the number of illegally operated vehicles, with inappropriate adjectives, that is, Zhao'an." ”

Tang Shouzheng said with a smile: "The child can be taught, one point can be understood, solving the case is also a truth, don't stick to the rules, in the process of being able to keep the bottom line, don't stick to the details of the process of solving the case, and finally achieve a happy result, some things, we come forward to do it, it's not easy to do, but let the insiders do it, that's two different things." ”

Gou Mo held the beer bottle and said: "This world is composed of different people, different people are in different industries, each industry has its own rules, these rules are bred in the laws of a country, can not be separated from it, at best wandering on the edge, but the bottom line is that the order must not be destroyed, can not destroy stability, the order is gone, the law is flouted, everyone will suffer, no one can be spared." ”

Tang Shouzheng nodded, and said: "I'm in a good mood tonight, I'll tell you another story, it was a case that was handled before I retired, this case Lao Gou also participated, it was a big gang case, the leader of the gang was a high-IQ criminal, the reason why he was able to become the leader was because he had a special channel for writing off accounts, he told his subordinates to go to other people, whether it was petty theft or robbery and murder, as long as they were willing to join this organization, then this organization would help them write off their accounts. And they don't charge their fees and commissions, and you can also work together to make a fortune if you have the opportunity. ”

Speaking of this, Tang Shouzheng raised a finger: "In a year's time, this gang claims to have more than 600 people, is it terrible?" There are countless cases of a criminal gang of more than 600 people, but this leader is actually a drug dealer. ”

Fu Mingwei was stunned: "Are you talking about the 1118 case?" ”

Tang Shouzheng nodded, and Gou Mo continued: "Using other crimes to cover up drug trafficking, and using his so-called channel of writing off accounts to attract others to join, the purpose is to confuse the public, so that the police can't find out for a while who are really active in his drug trafficking network, more than 600 people, we will investigate one by one, how much time it will take, I can't imagine." ”

Fu Mingwei said: "I haven't carefully read the file of this case, but I just know a little, how did this case finally be solved?" ”

"I took a risk, I used a most inferior method, I found someone to release the news, saying that this leader was an informant of the police, and at the same time mixed a very small part of the news of his drug trafficking, but not much, let them doubt themselves, to analyze, to find answers, in the process, it will inevitably lead to their internal strife." Tang Shouzheng lit another cigarette, "I have been severely punished in this case, because if I do so, it will lead to a lot of fights and brawls, and even more serious incidents, this is what I knew from the beginning, but if the gang of more than 600 people is reasonably used by this person, maybe something more serious will happen, and I have no choice but to take this step." ”

Gou Mo finished drinking the beer and put down the bottle: "In the end, it turned out that you were right, the drug trafficking network of this leader was dismantled by his own people, and we kept standing still, just staring, and waited until he appeared at the drug scene helplessly, arrested on the spot, and captured both the stolen goods." ”

Fu Mingwei fell into deep thought, and asked for a long time before asking: "You mean, if we interfere too much in Qian Xiuye's case, it will be counterproductive?" All that needs to be done now is to monitor closely? ”

Tang Shouzheng said: "And we must grasp the progress of the situation, Zheng Cangqiong and their group of people are very disciplined, although from the previous so-called Jianghu morality, they are unwilling to cooperate with you, that is, with the government, but now it is a society under the rule of law, and Jianghu morality must also exist under the law, Officer Fu, I have heard of those cases you handled, you are known as a new star in the police industry, and at the same time, you have also been suppressed because of your unique way of handling cases, so, I said so much tonight, you should understand?" ”

Fu Mingwei nodded: "What do you mean, I understand, thank you for your advice." ”

Tang Shouzheng raised his glass: "I wish you all the best and be a good policeman." ”

"Thank you." Fu Mingwei got up, tidied up his clothes, nodded slightly to Tang Shouzheng, and left the cabin.

After Fu Mingwei walked out of the cabin, Yan Gang and Wu Zhihai immediately greeted him.

Wu Zhihai asked, "Team Fu, how is it?" What did Master Zu say? ”

Fu Mingwei didn't speak, just glanced at Wu Zhihai and Yan Gang: "Thank you, hard work, if I need your help, I will look for you, you two, I'm tired tonight." ”

After speaking, Fu Mingwei jumped off the suspended boat and cautiously walked back to the shore from the ice.

Waiting for Fu Mingwei to walk away, Wu Zhihai said, "What does he mean?" What does it mean to be tired tonight? That's the opposite, right? Mocking the two of us, didn't you notify him first? But helped Zheng Cangqiong? ”

Yan Gang leaned on the railing of the side of the ship: "Maybe, maybe we shouldn't interfere in the next thing." ”

Wu Zhihai hesitated, nodded and said, "Maybe, aren't you worried about torture?" ”

"I'm worried about the use of hair." Yan Gang yawned, "But with his ability, plus the people he brought this time, it should only be a matter of time before the final mystery is solved." ”

In the cabin, Tang Shouzheng also said the same thing to Gou Mo: "With the brains of Zheng Cangqiong and these people, it is only a matter of time before they unlock the secret of Zhangrong's cargo chaser. ”

Gou Mo drank beer slowly: "You mean, the police must not interfere, let them do it themselves, trust Zheng Cangqiong and torture?" They will also hand over the leadership of things to Fu Mingwei at the right time? However, in the end, we still have to understand the industry, otherwise, why set up a cultural relics detection department? ”

Tang Shouzheng shook his head and said: "The primary task this time is to uproot this organization that is a threat to society, what we want is the result, not the process, just like cultivating a policeman, you can't set such a high goal at the beginning of his entry into the police academy, you can only come step by step, the Department of Cultural Relics Investigation is also a truth, you need to accumulate experience in long-term work, in the final analysis, the police need to cooperate with the police and the people to handle cases, and the mass foundation required in the war period is a truth, without the mass base, there is nothing, so, You can only take your time. ”

Gou Mo put down the cup, still puzzled: "Shouzheng, do we really do nothing?" ”

Tang Shouzheng sighed: "Open the net, wait for the hound to drive the prey under the net, and then close the net." ”

"Zheng Cangqiong, they are hunting dogs, and we are hunters." Gou Mo nodded and opened another bottle of beer, "It's been a long time since I've been so excited, but it's a pity that I can't be a part of it myself." ”

Tang Shouzheng's face was very heavy: "Excited? I am anxious, whenever there is a case, I am very anxious, this problem has been there since I was a small police officer in the police station, whether it is before work, or after work, I am afraid of hearing the phone ring, as long as the phone rings, I know that something is wrong, and then I pray that no one will be injured or killed, I am not afraid that I will not be able to solve the case, but I am afraid of seeing too many tragedies. ”

Gou Mo looked at Tang Shouzheng, shook his head and said, "Yes, why does justice always have to be written in blood?" ”

Tang Shouzheng smiled and said, "Because if there is no evil, justice is worthless." ”

Outside the cabin, Yan Gang and Wu Zhihai were already frozen, but the two of them were still standing there, each looking in one direction, each wondering if they should do something next.

There was no answer, just like Fu Mingwei, who was sitting in the car outside the woods at this time, he smoked cigarettes one after another, recalling the two stories that Tang Shouzheng told him, arranging the following work in his mind, and thinking about every detail.

The coldest time in Harbin is coming......
