Before they could get closer, a foul smell had already reached their noses, and some police officers had already gathered around the scene, and some people who were a little more daring enough to tolerate the peculiar smell were also watching.

When Han Weizheng arrived at the scene, he opened the cordon and slowly approached the pile of objects tied up in white snakeskin bags, which were corpses. The corpse was covered with a layer of plastic, and although it was about to enter winter, the mosquitoes and flies around the corpse were buzzing and lingering.

Han Wei was putting on a mask, because the smell emanating from the corpse was unbearable even for him, an old criminal policeman who had been engaged in investigation for many years. The forensic forceps at the scene picked up the fold of the covered layer of plastic, and a skull was revealed, but the face on the skull was already rotten and unsightly, the eyes were deeply sunken, the skin of the face had completely ulcerated and oozing out almost dried human glue compounds, and the subcutaneous skin of the face twitched from time to time, which was a masterpiece of the activity of the larvae of mosquitoes and flies that had grown inside; The hair on the head was not long but had completely detached from the cortex, spilling around the head, gently swaying with the breeze.

The corpse's exposed head was still wrapped in the snakeskin bag, which was not opened for the time being, and the body was transported back for dissection.

"How long has the deceased been dead?" Han Wei asked a forensic doctor beside him.

Forensic doctor: "The preliminary conclusion is that the time of death is about 30 to 40 days, and the specific time of death needs to be accurately determined after we go back for identification." ”

Han Wei was staring at the hole in the center of the deceased's head, which was a bullet hole.

"Why don't you report the identity of the deceased person today to the Board Committee?" Lao Li and Han Wei were standing on the balcony, and Lao Li asked Han Weizheng who was looking in the distance and said.

Han Wei was holding on to the balcony railing with both hands, and his heart was dull, "There is no need for this, this matter may already be known to many of us internally, otherwise, this person's identity would not have been exposed so quickly, let alone attract death, I think it was someone inside us who betrayed this undercover agent." ”

Lao Li: "This time it's the third undercover agent to die." ”

Han Weizheng: "Or we are not thoughtful enough, we are not covert enough, and the matter of sending undercover agents can only be contacted by a single line and controlled by a single person, and the more people who know this, the easier it is for the undercover agents to be exposed, because some of the people in our bureau committee have already sided with the enemy, and the secrets of our police station have long been familiar to these criminals." ”

Lao Li: "And something happened when we got the evidence and were about to hand it over to us." ”

Han Weizheng: "Yes, the code name of this undercover agent sent out to contact us is 'bitter melon', and now this code name has disappeared forever, more than a month ago, this 'bitter melon' also contacted me to report his situation, and that night he said that he had obtained the evidence and was going to bring the evidence out, but there was no news after that." ”

Lao Li: "The people who knew this code name were a few people in our leadership team at that time, and the problem was among these few people, and we should check these people carefully." ”

Han Weizheng: "You and I both know this, but how to check, the line has been broken." ”

"I don't know if I should ask you any questions?" Lao Li said.

"You say."

"I know, you are bent on digging out the roots of these underworld forces, but have you thought about it, this underworld forces are deeply rooted in our city. There is a force that already exists, and after so many years, their methods of confrontation with us are constantly changing, and their sphere of influence in the entire city is very wide, and even exists in the ranks of our public officials, and it is very difficult to uproot them. ”

Han Weizheng turned his head to look at Lao Li and said, "You mean to let this underworld force slowly purify itself and then go to civilization?" ”

Lao Li: "This is not necessarily a bad idea, of course, it should be cracked down." I don't know if you have noticed, in the past few years, there have been several cases in our city' The people who died in the headless homicide were all undercover agents sent by us, which shows that this underworld force is targeting our police, for example, the body of this undercover agent was found today, they could have decomposed or burned the corpse, so that we didn't even have a chance to find the corpse, but they didn't do it, and buried the corpse casually under a haystack in the suburbs, did they do this to tell us that we don't need to use this method against them anymore? ”

Han Weizheng: "This shows the arrogance of this gang even more. ”

Lao Li: "Actually, you didn't understand what I meant. What I mean is that the underworld forces in our city have existed for too long, but now the entire city has not been interfered with too much by this force, excluding the three undercover agents who died, there have been no murders related to these undercover forces in our city, at most there have been some fights, intentional injuries and illegal detention, which is already relatively balanced, but the undercover agents we sent lost their lives because of these. I think if it weren't for these undercover agents, our city would be in harmony in a sense. ”

Han Weizheng: "It can't be said that although these underworld forces have not been involved in major criminal cases with ordinary people, their methods are related to gangsters, crimes, and market occupation and economic intervention, and many years ago, this force was involved in homicides, as long as it is a crime, we must crack down." ”

"But you don't gain more than you gain by doing this," Lao Li's tone has begun to harden, "and because of this, we have to maintain this balance." More than 20 years ago, you and I should know very well what the gangster forces in our city looked like, after that crackdown and so many years in between, it was relatively calm, which shows that the current gangster forces in our city control the gangsters in the city are relatively calm, unlike the previous scenes of fierce fights at every turn, this situation is said to be relatively good, but our undercover agents have found evidence of their previous serious crimes, then of course they have to kill these undercover agents to protect themselves, so the undercover agents we sent will die, If we hadn't, there wouldn't have been more serious crimes. It is not worth it in order for the core of this force, of course, to let just a few people get the punishment they deserve and let more people die. Our purpose is to fight crime, but also to protect lives, because only living lives are more worthy of protection, and by doing so, you are putting more lives at risk. ”

Han Weizheng also responded unceremoniously: "You mean that it was the wrong choice for us to perform our duties? Do you mean that fighting crime is a fact that we should shy away from? As the people's police, what can we do if we do not perform our duties within the scope of our duties? If we police officers don't sacrifice for crimes, what is the point of wearing this police uniform? If these underworld and evil forces are not eliminated one day, our city will not be able to achieve peace in the true sense of the word, and we should not think that these underworld and evil forces will only tolerate them if they are only doing some small persecution methods, and those people who have been bullied and oppressed will never be at peace? ”

Lao Li: "What you said is very correct, but I want to tell you that your methods may not be correct. ”

Han Weizheng sighed long and said, "I also know that it is a matter of our ability to not be able to detect these people's crimes, and I don't know if the means are right, but is there a better way now?" ”
