Chapter 164: Dundees

A subway station by the river, Exit K sits abruptly in the corner of Civic Square, which has been cordoned off, and on the marble floor squats a thin policeman, about 35 years old, with a smart haircut, and the epaulettes are a bar and three four-pointed stars.

"Team Hu, the real group is connected."

Captain Hu of the Second Detachment of the Provincial Department did not answer the phone immediately, but put the middle and index fingers of his right hand on the neck of the deceased, and stretched out his sleeve to put on his cold arm, and the corpse stiffness of the whole body continued.

The deceased was a fat middle-aged man in a suit, with a black umbrella ajar resting not far from his right hand, and the body was lying on the floor in the direction of going downstairs, with a small hole in the back of his head, and his face had been blown into a bloody paste, and most of the blood stains on the ground had coagulated.

After last night's shooting, this place was cordoned off by the police, although the evidence was collected, but the identity and time of the deceased were too sensitive, Captain Hu asked to wait until he arrived to clean up the scene.

The site is well protected and well ventilated, and the unpleasant smell is not so intense.

It rained heavily last night, but there was no hole in the umbrella, and it was supposed to die the moment the umbrella was collected.

Captain Hu stood up and took off his white rubber gloves, waved for the police officers to carry away the body, and paced to the exit to look at the square ahead, and picked up the phone.

"Hello Captain Hu." A teenager's voice came over the phone.

"Hello Xiaogu, the deceased Zou Zhengxiang, president of the Wangjiang branch of Qianjiang Bank, was hit in the back of the head by a 7.62 mm bullet at about ten o'clock last night."

I heard that it was this young man who executed Captain Wang, but Deputy Director Lu had already said hello, so he still didn't talk about sensitive topics.

What's more, the situation is urgent, so the two of them go straight to the topic.

"7.62mm bullets?" Asked on the phone.

"Unlike NATO-sized rifle cartridges, the shrapnel is still engraved with patterns that are no longer legible," Captain Hu continued, "and the deceased's pocket found last night's musical ticket. ”

What does the engraved pattern on the shrapnel mean? Confused, Wen Cheng pulled his thoughts back to the deceased.

Zou Zhengxiang has only one old mother at home, his divorced wife accompanies his son to study abroad, only one old house under his name, and he uses a battery car to go to work.

"Is there anything suspicious about the on-site monitoring?"

"There is no murderer on surveillance." Captain Hu took the mineral water handed by the police, looked at the buildings surrounding the square in front of him and added, "However, according to the wound, the angle of fire is at a certain height, and according to the eyewitness records, no gunshots were heard." ”

There is only one possibility.

Killed by a distant sniper, and silenced.

Who is the murderer? What is the motivation?

I don't think about it so much, this is the first clue, so I'll put it aside for the time being.

"Okay, what's the clue about the cold chain car?" Wen Cheng asked.

"Shuntong cold chain Qiantang branch provided logistics data yesterday, and did not find vehicle records that meet the requirements, but through the recent monitoring and investigation, it was found that an orange truck printed with Shuntong cold chain disappeared after entering the underground tunnel by the river at half past 10 last night."

There are many tunnels along the river, and Captain Hu pointed to one 500 meters south of this place, which connects to the subway, the underground shopping mall in the Civic Square, and the underground parking lots of several surrounding buildings.

Two police officers from the second group arrived near the tunnel in the morning and walked to a nearby 24-hour convenience store to ask the clerk if they had seen an orange truck at night. The clerk said he had seen it, and pointed to an oval, 33-story building on the south side of the Civic Square on the other side of the river.

"Finally, they were found loading in the underground parking lot of the Fortune Building, and the driver had black lines on his wrists."

Wait a minute...... Isn't it unloading?

It's not unreasonable to use this as a new zombie production base, after all, there is a river, and it shouldn't be difficult to find a few unnoticed corners in the underground tunnels.

It turned out to be loading?!

Wen Cheng was about to ask something, but Captain Hu added, "It's indeed loading." ”

That is, the Fortune Building is the production base of NSD-79!

However, the rent of this building is very high, and what company would dare to make murder weapons here?

"In the morning, I checked the rental records of the building, and the biggest suspect was Qiantang Dongxing Pharmaceutical Company."

"Did you just rent it?" Wen Cheng asked.

"No, it's been rented for ten years, but the company's industrial and commercial statements have always shown losses, the registered capital is only 500,000, and the legal person has been changing."

So, on the face of it, the company can't afford to rent it here, but it has been renting for ten years, which is the biggest suspicion.

So where does the money come from?

President Zou was sniped...... Could it be said?

"According to the information provided by the economic investigation department, the bank that has had the most dealings with this company in the past six months is the Wangjiang branch of Qianjiang Bank."

Speaking of this, Captain Hu unscrewed the cap of the mineral water bottle and drank it, then took the bread handed by the police officer and took a bite, as if he was talking about some bland news.

Wen Cheng's did not show a surprised expression, and the two ends of the phone relied on a tacit understanding to advance their thoughts together.

Should President Zou be killed?

No, it's not that simple.

The body appeared at the Civic Square subway station, less than two hundred meters away from the production base.

If it was to kill President Zou, there were many opportunities on the road, so why singled out the Civic Square?

Leave aside the second clue for now, there is one clue left.

"So, can you tell us about last night's zombie case?" Wen Cheng asked.

"At about 11 o'clock last night, zombies appeared in the underground shopping mall of Civic Square, because the security personnel of the shopping mall at that time were in a hurry to pull down the fire shutter door, and the epidemic was brought under control, and 33 civilians died."

These are all three clues provided by the provincial department, pointing to the same area.

"Got it, so what's the time to act?" Wen Cheng asked.

The operation refers to the raid on Dongxing Pharmaceutical by the provincial government.

"The units will be in place around seven o'clock in the evening, and the goal of our detachment is to seize all the medicines, and there are several other groups that will follow the off-duty personnel and make arrests at the right time."

"Understood, we'll be there in the evening." After Wen Cheng finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

Where to start?

Compared to the fire blowing on his cheeks, the heat in his heart seemed more intense.

Wen Cheng picked up his notebook and got up and paced, and kept scanning the points he had just written down with his fingertips, imagining what had happened in the Civic Square last night.

In chronological order:

At 9:50, in the center of the square, President Zou left the Grand Theater.

At ten o'clock, on the west side of the square, at Exit K of the subway station, President Zou was sniped.

At half past ten, on the south side of the square, the cold chain truck went to the underground parking lot of the Fortune Center and loaded the goods the next morning.

At eleven o'clock, there was a corpse change in the underground shopping mall of the square, and there was no spread.

Wen Cheng grabbed his hair, and the truck arrived at Fortune Plaza to load the goods, and it is not yet possible to confirm that there is any direct connection with the corpse.

The point is that this patterned 7.62mm bullet, for what purpose does it kill Governor Zou? There is also the possibility of extermination, and random sniping is almost impossible. And bullets are too common, even if it is a NATO general-purpose bullet, there are many domestic sniper rifles used, what the hell is the pattern?

The list of those killed in the zombie case has not been sorted out due to insufficient police force.

Wen Cheng took a deep breath, and in the case of confusion of clues, it is better not to put it together.

"The first thing is important," Ryu Zhen said, "confirm the owner of the bullet and judge the motive." ”

Wen Cheng nodded,

The second important thing is to take this opportunity to confirm the NSD-79 and find out the enemy situation to facilitate the general attack.

Thirdly, it is important to confirm the mayor's commission.

The dark cloud that could not dissipate from his brows came from Li Ling, who had never appeared, and according to custom, he would appear on the roof of the building.

Could it be that a sniper rifle is used to deflair a shot...... After all, you have to go to the roof of a nearby building to check for sniper marks......

Is it to lead us to the roof? No.

Could it be ......

Wen Cheng suddenly showed a dangerous look as if he was possessed by something, and swallowed.

"I have a feeling," Wen Cheng cocked his finger, "the situation in Civic Square is not so simple. ”

President Zou is just an intermediate figure in the entire chain of interests, and there is no need to wait here to snipe and kill at all.

Other words...... Snipers have a clear goal to kill, but Governor Zou is just a practice?

Ryujin's pockets buzzed.

"The mayor also has a commission, hoping to talk to us face-to-face." Yoo Jin said after answering the phone.

Mayor?

What commissions will the mayor have? And in person? Don't do this kind of unwarranted speculation.

"The city government ...... It seems to be in the civic center, and it seems to be nearby. ”

Wen Cheng opened the map software and repeatedly confirmed several locations involved in the case, and then clicked on the civic center.

The Civic Square is surrounded by:

In the center of the square: the Grand Theater, the underground shopping mall, and the International Conference Center.

East side of the square: Riverside Park.

South side of the square: 33-storey Fortune Tower.

West side of the square: 30-storey civic center, subway station Exit K.

North side of the square: 40-storey Times Tower.

In addition, in addition to the most conspicuous Fortune Building and Times Building, it is surrounded by dozens of high-rise buildings of varying heights, each of which has an unobstructed view of the square.

It's so close, it's all together, why the hell?!

Liu Zhen flipped up her phone as if she had thought of something in the same vein.

Everything is together......

The mutiny took place in an underground mall connected to the subway.

In the case of a loss of the core stronghold and a total defeat...... What exactly is the enemy going to do?

Fortune Center has a large inventory of NSD-79......

What important things will the mayor have to talk to in person?

Liu Zhen suddenly stared at Wen Cheng with wide eyes, with a shocked expression on his face,

"Tonight at half past seven, the International Convention Center, the municipal consultative meeting!"
