Chapter 31: Blindfolded Corpse
What are the rules of Jixiang Street? For this problem, Zhuo Lefeng really hadn't thought about it before. He only knows that the law of the jungle is the strongest here, and he only knows that the reputation of the people who come out of Jixiang Street is not much better. But why is Jixiang Street so unbearable, most of the people here are reluctant to leave.
With doubts, Zhuo Lefeng decided to talk to his parents about this issue, and he finally took the initiative to integrate into the history of Jixiang Street.
Jixiang Street was not called Jixiang Street at first. Hundreds of years ago, it was a small town at the foot of the mountain, and the town was connected to the river, which flowed into the Yangtze River. Because it is more convenient to use both water and land routes, it gradually formed a bazaar.
Waterways have brought about water transportation, and the development of water transportation has also brought many unstable factors. Beginning in the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty, Caoyun sailors formed a guild association. The original purpose of the association was to defend its own interests. Among them, the Anqing Gang, which existed in the Ming Dynasty, developed the most. The Anqing Gang is a gang with a long history, also known as the Qing Gang and the Qing Gang. The earliest was the folk religion of the Ming Dynasty, Luojiao, which was initially distributed in Beizhili, Shandong and other places, and later developed along the canal to Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Anhui and other regions.
Originally, the purpose of the gang was to protect itself, but as the gang grew, coupled with various internal problems, over time, the disadvantages of the gang also appeared. Self-preservation has become a struggle for power and profit, and associations that have been supposed to maintain stability have become a source of trouble.
The predecessor of Jixiang Street was one of the strongholds of the Anqing Gang at that time. Because of the gangs and geographical factors, it has become a place for many dangerous people. The presence of these people has a serious impact on the personal safety and property safety of local residents. It was on this premise that the locals decided to have their own gang self-protection team.
There are groups formed by the locals themselves who recruit young people to become protection teams, and these people act as thugs to keep the locals safe. These people usually don't need to work and have no other source of income, so the locals will raise funds to support this team, so that these people have no worries. This kind of fund-raising money can be regarded as a disguised protection fee.
From the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, such teams have always existed. This kind of money is always in the hands of a specific person. As the team framework stabilizes, the team will also set its own rules. The first rule is that the people of Jixiang Street must help the people of Jixiang Street. This dead rule has not changed. Because of this, no matter how big a problem the people of Jixiang Street cause outside, there will always be a team from Jixiang Street to support them.
There are pros and cons to this kind of grouping, the good side is unity, and the bad side is fearlessness. It is precisely because of their fearlessness that the people who come out of Jixiang Street are becoming more and more courageous. And when he is bold, he dares to do anything. Especially in today's society under the rule of law, the way many people in Jixiang Street do things is out of step with modern times.
Zhuo Lefeng said thoughtfully: "So Zhang Wenbao's collection of protection fees is actually a tradition that has been continued for more than a hundred years. And the people of Jixiang Street are also used to these fees! It's just that in today's society, we don't need these people to protect everyone at all, we have the police and the rule of law. ”
Zhuo Tianhe wiped the sweat from his forehead, put a dish that had just been fried on the plate, and said: "Everyone has their own way of living, and there is a place with the customs of each place. The existence of Zhang Wenbao and these people in Jixiang Street is also a specific custom, and we give Zhang Wenbao and these people some money, which can be regarded as a kind of inheritance. Of course, it is true that this money is not given for free. You only saw Zhang Wenbao and those people making trouble, but you didn't see those people doing a lot of practical things for the neighborhood. Jixiang Street looks chaotic, but its interior is orderly, which is also due to Zhang Wenbao's people. Where is there any obstacle on the street, what is not in line with the feng shui structure, and others are not good at interfering, it is Zhang Wenbao and these people who settle it. For example, the people of Jixiang Street usually have a little bit of everything, and they are used to letting Zhang Wenbao and others go out to run errands on their behalf. For example, why do those old people on Jixiang Street like to stay on Jixiang Street. Because the rule of Jixiang Street is to respect the old and love the young. Whoever doesn't follow the rules, ordinary people don't say it, but someone will teach them how to behave. ”
"Dad, how can you say good things to Zhang Wenbao and these gangsters."
"Hey, I'm not just saying nice things, I'm just saying what I've seen. They are indeed gangsters, they are old boys, but they are also people from Jixiang Street. Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there are rules of rivers and lakes. Jixiang Street is not big, but it is not small. There are so many people in this place, and it is good that there is a set of rules that can last for more than a hundred years. Here, bring this dish over, and I'll have two cups with your dad later. ”
"Huh!" Zhuo Lefeng couldn't directly reply to this statement, he could only pout, picked up the plate and said, "My rules are the law, and no one can be greater than the law." By the way, I'll not be at home for dinner later. ”
"What, don't eat at home? Got an appointment? Zhuo Tianhe's mouth was happy, and the thief came up and said, "Is it Fei Fei?" ”
Zhuo Lefeng rolled his eyes and didn't bother to deal with this problem.
Since he didn't make an appointment with Tan Feifei, Zhuo Lefeng didn't have this "leisure and elegance" for the time being. Three days to whitewash Jixiang Street, this deadline makes Zhuo Lefeng need to act. So, he had to get someone to help. This person thinks he is Hu Chuguang.
The place where they met this time was the hill behind Jixiang Street. Not only is this place hidden, but it is also easy to evacuate. If someone really finds out, they can scatter and walk away.
After waiting for a while, Zhuo Lefeng saw Hu Chuguang coming.
After making sure that this place was good and that there was no one around, Hu Chuguang immediately reproached: "Your task now is to get close to Yu Youtai, why are you making other troubles for yourself?" ”
"Other troubles?" Zhuo Lefeng hugged his arm and shook his head, "I really can't ignore this matter." First, the other party named and asked Tan Feifei and Chen Yuran to come out and take the blame. Both of them are my friends, and I don't want anything to happen to them. Second, I had a fight with Left-Picked, and Left-Picked's men accused me of having something to do with it. I'm worried that if things continue to ferment, those people will get me in trouble. At that time, I will not be able to carry out the normal operation to break the fog. Third, I decided to take the opportunity to whitewash Jixiang Street, which also meant to make Zhang Wenbao trust me more. Zhang Wenbao is regarded as the local protector of Jixiang Street. His boss also went out on Jixiang Street, and now he is in the limelight in Anjing City. In the future, we will have to plan deeply, and maybe we will have some intersection with his boss. ”
"You're thinking far enough." Hu Chuguang, who knew his apprentices well, actually understood that not only these three reasons, but also Zhuo Lefeng had other selfish motives. This kid still wants to participate in the investigation of the case, so that he can have a sense of existence as a police officer. It's just that this sense of existence is very dangerous, and once it is messed up, the consequences are unimaginable, so he doesn't break it, but he also has to remind, "You are a smart person, you should know which is more important." The cases of Zhao Wenbiao and Zuo Facheng have already been investigated by a group, and this kind of homicide case is very important, and the case will be solved sooner or later. So don't force it! ”
"Sooner or later, sooner or later, but how long will it take? One group is so busy, can this case be solved in three days? Zhuo Lefeng was eager to try, "Okay, Team Hu, I have a sense of proportion." I've said all this, do I have the information I want? ”
Hu Chuguang sighed and said, "You kid, I can come here, do you say?" Get some case information, I still have this face. But this case is really a bit weird, and I don't think it's that simple behind it. ”
On the morning of April 6, Zhao Wenbiao's younger brother found that Zhao Wenbiao could not be contacted, so he went to Zhao Wenbiao's house to look for him. He found that the door of Zhao Wenbiao's house was unlocked, so he pushed the door in. As a result, the scene was terrifying and terrifying, so scared that the little brother was trembling when he described it to the police afterwards.
At that time, Zhao Wenbiao died in bed. Zhao Wenbiao's death was very strange, his eyes were covered by a lady's silk scarf, and the silk scarf was tied and fixed at the back of his head. Zhao Wenbiao's left artery was picked open, blood stained the sheets, the floor was bloody, and even the bedside table and chair were splattered with blood. Later, the forensic doctor confirmed that the cause of Zhao Wenbiao's death was that the large artery in his left hand was cut, resulting in excessive blood loss and death. In addition, there is a very strange place, the forensic doctor found chlorpromazine and other sedative residues in Zhao Wenbiao's body, and finally found a pinhole in Zhao Wenbiao's neck, and preliminarily concluded that Zhao Wenbiao was injected with a tranquilizer, and the dose of tranquilizer should be very well controlled. Those doses can make Zhao Wenbiao fall asleep quickly after being injected under the skin, but not to death.
The police have determined that Zhao Wenbiao does not have the habit of injecting tranquilizers, nor does he need to inject tranquilizers in his life, so the police currently speculate that the murderer injected tranquilizers.
"The murderer may have let Zhao Wenbiao fall asleep, and then cut his major arteries and let him die of excessive blood loss?" Zhuo Lefeng was puzzled, "Since the murderer can inject a tranquilizer, why not increase the amount of tranquilizer and directly inject it to death." Instead of doing more, but also to cut Zhao Wenbiao's artery? ”
Hu Chuguang said: "Indeed, cutting the artery of the wrist is not so simple. In general, the success rate for slitting your wrists is less than five percentage points. Because the arteries in the wrist are not only deep, but also blocked by bone. Only a person who is familiar with the structure of blood vessels can properly pick the great arteries. The murderer can not only grasp the amount of tranquilizer just right, but also accurately pick Zhao Wenbiao's artery, which makes people have to suspect that the murderer has studied medicine and physiology. In addition to cutting the major arteries, it seems that it is superfluous, and Zhao Wenbiao's eyes are covered by silk scarves It also looks very weird. Zhao Wenbiao is 1.78 meters tall and weighs 81 kilograms. He was physically strong, and it was absolutely impossible for him to be easily tranquilized, nor blindfolded. ”
"Is it to cover your eyes with a silk scarf after death? But when are tranquilizers injected? ”
The medical examiner speculated that Zhao Wenbiao's time of death was between 0:00 and 2:00 a.m. on April 6. As for the time of the tranquilizer injection, it should be before death. ”
"Before death? Will Zhao Wenbiao honestly let people inject him with tranquilizers? Zhuo Lefeng was even more confused, "Is there any gain from the nearby surveillance?" ”
Hu Chuguang said: "Zhao Wenbiao lives in the flower and bird market, which is full of old houses, and there is no monitoring in many places. However, the police did gain something from Zuo Facheng's side. During the investigation of Zuo Facheng's death, the police found that at about 11 o'clock in the evening of April 6, Zuo Facheng returned home with a tall and sexyly dressed woman, but the surveillance could not see the woman's face at all. ”
