The night is as cool as water, and the moon and stars are scarce.

It was almost 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, but the information monitoring and command center of the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Haizhou Municipal People's Procuratorate was still brightly lit and people were coming and going.

Chen Haoran has read the case file in his hand three times, but he still has no clue.

Twenty-four hours after the Jiangnan Provincial Party Committee made a decision to open a case for investigation into the corruption of Peng Zhengming, secretary of the Dongtang District Party Committee and member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee of Haizhou City, Peng Zhengming's only son, Peng Xiaodong, was suddenly murdered.

This sudden homicide case has not only attracted great attention from the Jiangnan Provincial Party Committee and the Haizhou City Party Committee, but has also received special attention from the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Supreme People's Procuratorate.

Who is trying to muddy the water in Haizhou City?

What was the real purpose of killing Peng Xiaodong?

Why did you choose Zheng Zhi to come from the Beijing Anti-Corruption Bureau to Haizhou Anti-Corruption Bureau as the director of the Bureau?

All kinds of questions kept swirling in Chen Haoran's mind.

"Haoran, come over for a moment."

In his ears, Chen Haoran hurriedly answered, put down the case file in his hand, and walked quickly towards Zheng Zhi, who was communicating with Cheng Dongyang, director of the Haizhou City Police Bureau.

"I remember you told me before that when you were in college in Haizhou, you once chased a girl from Haizhou Academy of Fine Arts."

Zheng Zhi handed the tablet in his hand to Chen Haoran, and said: "The girl named Zhuang Jing had a boyfriend at that time, named Yang Cheng, can you see if it is this person?" ”

Chen Haoran took the tablet with both hands, just glanced down at the screen, and immediately nodded and replied, "It's the same person!" Director, why did you suddenly think to ask this person? ”

"Because he was the only eyewitness to Peng Xiaodong's murder."

Zheng Zhi said intently: "According to the latest information obtained by the police, Director Cheng suspects that when Yang Cheng cooperated with the police to record a confession, it is likely that he did not tell the truth completely, but concealed some important clues. Haoran, how much do you know about this Yang Cheng? ”

Chen Haoran thought for a moment, and then replied: "I don't know very well about his situation in the last three years. But three years ago, the situation was still relatively clear. Yang Cheng is a native of Liancheng, Xiangbei Province, born in an ordinary working family, his academic performance during college is very good, and the relationship with teachers and classmates is also very good, from the first semester of his sophomore year to his graduation, he served as the vice president of the school's student union for three consecutive years, and is also an active member of the school's martial arts and sanda club.

This person has a calm personality, a little talented, good at forbearance, can bear hardships and stand hard work, is helpful, and rarely has disputes with others. I don't think this person had a conflict with a girl named Xiao Lin during his entire college years, and he was troubled by gangsters outside the school because of this incident. ”

Zheng Zhi didn't make any comments, but reached out and swiped on the tablet that Chen Haoran was holding, opened another document, and introduced: "This happened this afternoon. ”

Chen Haoran lowered his head and carefully looked at the graphic information displayed on the screen, and then couldn't help but say in a lost voice: "I'll go!" This guy made 35 million gambling stones?! ”

When he saw Yang Cheng spend 1.65 million yuan to buy a car in the BMW 4S store in Haizhou, he happened to meet Xiao Lin and retaliated against her, and then spent more than 20 million yuan to buy a house in Oriental Mingyuan, which suddenly set off a wave in his heart.

I'll it! What happened to Yang Cheng on this day is also too wonderful and bizarre! What a rebellious dog he had hit. luck! This is the typical one. Get rich at night!

After reading these materials, Chen Haoran looked at Zheng Zhi with a puzzled look in his eyes and asked, "Director, could it be that the police judged that Yang Cheng didn't tell the truth and lied when he recorded his confession early this morning?" That's a bit too far-fetched, isn't it? ”

Zheng Zhi exchanged glances with the middle-aged man standing next to him in the uniform of a second-level police inspector, that is, Cheng Dongyang, the director of the Haizhou City Police Bureau.

Cheng Dongyang's face and tone were relatively serious and replied: "My reason is mainly because Yang Cheng's demeanor when facing the police is too calm and unhurried!" It is not at all like the psychological quality of an ordinary citizen who has never dealt with the police. ”

Chen Haoran still agrees with the reason given by Cheng Dongyang.

The vast majority of the common people in our country are influenced by the traditional official-oriented thinking, and have a subconscious reverence for officials. Especially for law enforcement agencies such as police stations, many people are even more reluctant to face them, for fear of causing unnecessary trouble to themselves.

Chen Haoran knew that Yang Cheng had a calm personality, but Yang Cheng first suddenly crashed into a car accident and was killed, and then was taken away by the police for questioning.

Cheng Dongyang can describe Yang Cheng's emotions when he was interrogated, he should not be imaginary, but he has seen the video data when the police recorded a confession and interrogated Yang Cheng.

Thinking of Yang Cheng's experience of Peng Xiaodong's death in a car accident, the next series of incidents, Chen Haoran can't help but have doubts. Is this really a coincidence?

YANG Chengyi. Getting rich overnight, why did it happen after Peng Xiaodong's car accident?

For a qualified case officer, any coincidence will become a suspicion in their eyes.

"Director Cheng, what do you suspect Yang Cheng is hiding?" Chen Haoran asked solemnly.

Yang Cheng drew three sketches to restore some clues to the scene of the car accident. One of the drawings depicts one of the two suspects, though the suspect's facial features are too blurred. ”

Cheng Dongyang said slowly: "Yang Cheng specifically mentioned it to the interrogating officer, claiming that the suspect had dyed short golden hair. I have been to the scene of the crime, and with the visual conditions at the time of the crime, since Yang Cheng can see the suspect's blonde hair clearly, it is also possible that he can also see the suspect's appearance clearly.

Of course, it is also possible that the speed of the hit-and-run vehicle is too fast and the time is too short to see clearly. But I have a hunch that Yang Cheng saw the suspect's facial features clearly, but he didn't tell the truth in order to avoid trouble. Because he knew he had good enough excuses not to say it. ”

"Intuition?" Chen Haoran looked at Cheng Dongyang very seriously and asked.

"Yes! Gut feeling! Cheng Dongyang nodded affirmatively and replied.

Chan knows that an experienced case-handling officer will sometimes choose to trust their instincts when they can't find valuable direct clues.

Zheng Zhi answered at this time: "After a meeting and discussion, the party group of the bureau agreed to investigate Peng Zhengming and the murder of his son Peng Xiaole. Haoran, I mean, since Yang Cheng may have hidden something from the police, if the police go to him again, he will definitely not cooperate. Therefore, I hope that you will contact Yang Cheng with a personal relationship to see if you have found anything. ”

Chen Haoran nodded without hesitation and said, "No problem!" Director, I had an appointment with Yang Cheng and his girlfriend Zhuang Jing tonight, as well as a few other classmates for a party. It's just that there is a temporary task in the bureau, so I missed the appointment. If needed, I can make another appointment with Yang Cheng at any time! ”

"Time is pressing, you will do this tomorrow!" Zheng Zhi instructed very decisively: "Yang Cheng is an important clue for us and the police to quickly solve the murder of Peng Xiaodong, Haoran, with your ability, I believe you can handle this matter well!" ”

"Please rest assured, the director will ensure that the task is completed!" Chen Haoran saluted solemnly, looking confident.
