Chapter 5 Advance as Retreat

Is the small stone tower I picked up from the mountain when I was a child really related to the mysterious altar that I found on my phone?

Yang Cheng has been pondering this question in his mind at this time.

If so, what kind of PokΓ©mon is that inconspicuous stone tower? What kind of ability will it be to make an ordinary mobile phone have an extra mysterious altar space?

Could it be that there are really immortals in this world?

The more Yang Cheng pondered, the more he felt that he should immediately get rid of the entanglement of the criminal police captain in front of him, he needed to find a quiet place to calm down and seriously think about this mysterious change that happened to him.

Yang Cheng is now sure that the second-hand domestic smartphone he is holding in his hand is no longer a mobile phone, but has become a magic weapon!

It seems that dude, I have never really understood the world of living in before! Yang Cheng secretly sighed in his heart.

It can be said that the mysterious incident that happened to him tonight has completely overturned the worldview, outlook on life and values that Yang Cheng had always adhered to.

To paraphrase a sentence circulating on the current Internet, it is really ruined by three views!

"Xiao Yang, what are you doing alone at the Sun Viewing Platform in the middle of the night?"

Li Hongquan suddenly asked this question that seemed to have nothing to do with the case, Yang Cheng quickly retracted his thoughts and replied without hesitation: "The pressure of life is too great, and I want to find a place where no one is there to release the depression and grievances in my heart." The sundeck is a great place to see the stars, and I've been there four or five times a month in recent years. A small citizen like me, who has no money, no power and no background, if he doesn't learn to adjust his mood and relieve pressure, he may have a nervous breakdown one day. ”

Although he answered smoothly, Yang Cheng was thinking about whether the unnatural phenomenon caused by the sudden withering of the thousand-year-old locust tree, which was listed as a national first-class precious cultural relic, would arouse the suspicion of the police or relevant departments after the discovery of the sudden withering of the thousand-year-old locust tree in the Banshan Pavilion.

From a common sense point of view, if the police and relevant departments open a case for investigation into the unnatural phenomenon of this thousand-year-old locust tree, then all the people who appeared near Dawang Mountain tonight may be included in the list of suspects.

Although he has not been dealing with Li Hongquan, the captain of the criminal police, for a long time, Yang Cheng believes that this person is quite shrewd and sophisticated. If Li Hongquan was involved in the investigation of the unnatural phenomenon of the thousand-year-old locust tree withering for no reason, God knows if this guy would list him as a suspect.

Now it seems that he has to find a way to drag Li Hongquan into Peng Xiaodong's car accident murder case, so that all the energy of this Captain Li can be devoted to the investigation of this major criminal case. As long as he can gradually fade or even disappear from Li Hongquan's impression, Yang Cheng will be more confident to keep the secret he got at the viewing platform tonight.

Yang Cheng now doesn't know if there are any energy shocks and space shocks in the process of turning the mobile phone into a magic weapon. Otherwise, with the highly developed scientific and technological forces and systems of all countries in the world today, once the abnormal energy appears and disappears, God knows whether it will have attracted the attention of some countries or forces.

I have to say that suddenly getting a mysterious altar of unknown origin, Yang Cheng's mind became extremely meticulous, but also a little nervous.

Yang Cheng firmly believes that no one should be allowed to discover his secrets, including his parents and girlfriend. Otherwise, he will definitely not be able to keep this shocking secret that is enough to change the world, and he may even cause death because of it, and even affect his relatives and friends around him.

"Properly release the pressure in your heart, and you can indeed adjust your mental and psychological state." Li Hongquan nodded in agreement with Yang Cheng's explanation, because he himself would often do it, but the way he chose was different from Yang Cheng's, it was fighting and shooting.

After Yang Cheng was silent for a while, he looked at Li Hongquan solemnly and said, "Team Li, I can assist your police in restoring some scenes from the time of the car accident, but I hope you can keep it secret for me, I don't want to suffer an unwarranted disaster because of this." ”

"You can rest assured of that!" Li Hongquan did not hesitate to make a promise: "It is the bounden duty and duty of our police to keep the witnesses confidential and protect their personal safety." ”

Not long after, the "Wrangler" drove into the guest house of the military sub-district on the outskirts of the city.

Neither going back to the Dongtang Branch nor going to the City Bureau, Yang Cheng was still quite satisfied with Li Hongquan's arrangement.

After all, there are many people in the police station, and if you can't keep him, an eyewitness, it will attract the attention of some well-intentioned people. However, the hotels run by the military are obviously much stricter than the localities in terms of secrecy work.

Seeing that Li Hongquan familiarly took him to room 609 on the sixth floor of the hotel, knocked on the door, and was welcomed into the room by a capable middle-aged man in civilian clothes, Yang Cheng now does not need to guess and can see that this is likely to be a "secret stronghold" set up by the Municipal Procuratorate and the Anti-Corruption Bureau, and the middle-aged man introduced by Li Hongquan as "Director Zhao Weimin of the Municipal Anti-Corruption Bureau" should be the director surnamed Zhao who talked to him on the phone before.

Director Zhao apparently attaches great importance to the case of Peng Xiaodong's death in a car accident. He didn't say anything polite to Li Hongquan, and went straight to the point and directly inquired about the case. After learning that Yang Cheng, the only eyewitness at the scene, had a good sketching skills, Director Zhao immediately took out a set of professional drawing tools and asked Yang Cheng to start immediately.

Seeing that the Haizhou City Procuratorate and the Anti-Corruption Bureau intervened in the case of Peng Xiaodong's death in a car accident, Yang Cheng is now more and more sure that there is a deeper inside story in the case of Peng Xiaodong's murder.

When he was drawing on the drawing board with a professional pencil in hand, Yang Cheng found that he had obviously made great progress compared to before, both in terms of technique and eyesight. If your previous sketching level was ordinary professional level, now you can upgrade to professional master level.

An ordinary black-and-white sketch, drawn by Yang Cheng's hand, can give people a vivid sense of life.

"Team Li, where did you find a capable person? As far as the level of his sketch portrait is concerned, it can definitely be regarded as a master's level. Zhao Weimin whispered in Li Hongquan's ear.

"I didn't expect him to be so good at sketching." Li Hongquan said with bright eyes: "It seems that God doesn't want to see Peng Xiaodong cut off the clue by cutting off the clue, and arranges the existence of a special witness like Xiao Yang in the dark." ”

"Have you checked his identity and background?" Zhao Weimin asked thoughtfully in a low voice.

"Checked." Li Hongquan nodded and replied: "Yang Cheng's ancestral home is Liancheng City, Xiangbei, and his parents are ordinary laid-off workers. Yang Cheng graduated from Haizhou Academy of Fine Arts and stayed in Haizhou for development, and is now a staff member of a company called Donghuang Advertising Company in the city, responsible for advertising planning in the company.

The reason why he appeared at the scene of the crime was because he ran alone to the Dawang Mountain Observatory tonight to relax and release stress. If it weren't for his girlfriend calling him home, maybe he would still be alone at the sundeck looking at the stars. ”

"Team Li, have you noticed that this person is a little different from his peers?" Zhao Weimin asked softly as he stared playfully at the back of Yang Cheng's focused painting.

"You see that, too?" Li Hongquan nodded and said: "You are right, Yang Cheng is calm, calm, neither humble nor arrogant than other young people. He told me before that this car accident was not an ordinary traffic accident, but a deliberate murder, which fully shows that he also has strong logical thinking and analytical skills. Two years ago, he applied for the civil service examination, passed the written test and interview, but was replaced in the end. ”

"This young man is a talent." Zhao Weimin said.

Although Yang Cheng seemed to be drawing seriously at this time, he actually listened to the whispered conversation between Li Hongquan and Zhao Weimin word for word.

After thinking about and weighing the pros and cons, Yang Cheng finally decided to draw the murderer with dyed blonde hair, but deliberately omitted the scar on the left side of the murderer's face, and his facial features were not too clear, giving people a vague feeling.

From the muck truck rushing to the Toyota Prado at high speed, directly knocking over the Prado, and then fleeing the scene quickly, Yang Cheng drew a total of three pictures, each of which has clear lines, the picture is vivid and expressive, and it intuitively restores the scene and experience of the car accident.

When Li Hongquan saw the portrait of the murderer poking his head out of the car window and turning his head to look at the third picture, although the murderer's appearance was not very clear, he was still overjoyed. Because with this clue, it is very important to solve this premeditated murder case.

"Xiao Yang, thank you very much for the important clues!" Li Hongquan held Yang Cheng's right palm with both hands and shook it vigorously again and again.

"Team Li, I am just doing my duty as a good citizen." Yang Cheng said indifferently: "If there is nothing wrong, I think I should go home." ”

"No problem, I'll arrange for someone to send you back." Li Hongquan agreed.

"Then thank you Team Lee."

"If you really want to say thank you, it should be me Li Hongquan. Xiao Yang, you have done me a great favor this time, and if you have anything in the future, please come to me. ”

"Hehe, it's better not to look for it. Because if I do come to Team Lee, it means that I will definitely be in trouble that I can't solve. ”

"Xiao Yang, tonight's incident, I hope you don't mention it to anyone, including your girlfriend, you know!"

"Understood!" Yang Cheng nodded solemnly and said, "I don't want to cause unnecessary trouble for myself. ”

After sending Yang Cheng out of the room and watching him walk to the elevator room, Li Hongquan and Zhao Weimin stood at the door and looked at each other and smiled.

The murderer chose the Huxiang intersection without a camera when committing the crime, but they would never have imagined that there would be such a witness as Yang Cheng with a good sketch and portrait expertise. In the eyes of Li Hongquan and Zhao Weimin, the three drawings provided by Yang Cheng as the only eyewitness to the murder can completely replace the surveillance footage of the camera.
