For the next few hours, Gu Song didn't say a word, and drove the car fast along the way. Although Xia Shi had informed him of the results, he still didn't believe that the policeman who died in the line of duty was the partner he didn't want to lose the most - Fan Cong.

I still remember that the last time we met was on June 21, that is, just six days ago, he and Fan Cong went to the Longwan Pavilion Bathing Center to investigate the situation, and judged that the nature of the third shooting case (Zheng Guoqiang was shot dead in the cab of the truck late at night on June 19) was a revenge killing, and then closely monitored the person suspected of being involved, Miss Longwan Pavilion Bathing Center, and Jiang Huanhuan, the lover of the suspect Huang Yong.

At that time, they all knew that Huang Yong was a very difficult character to deal with, and he killed people without blinking, and once he had a head-on confrontation with him, the danger should not be underestimated.

If it weren't for the purpose of privately tracking down the whereabouts of Shen Hang and Miss M and rescuing Tian Rui, he would have acted with Fan Cong and participated in the surveillance work and the final arrest.

If he could stick to his job and stand up when Fan Cong was in danger, then the outcome of the matter might not be the way it is now.

Gu Song has a big shortcoming, that is, he likes to count the misfortunes of others on his own head, and take any fault on himself. Remembering the last time he went on a mission with Fan Cong, Fan Cong said to him with great trust: "With such a reliable partner as you, I have nothing to worry about." Gu Song felt remorse and blamed himself, and the person he wanted to sacrifice was himself.

At about four o'clock in the afternoon, after Gu Song arrived in R City, he went directly to the Municipal Public Security Bureau to find Qiao Sheng to understand the situation.

With so much going on, Qiao Sheng had a lot of work to deal with at hand, and he was so busy that he didn't even have time to be sad and sad. He knew that Gu Song was going to come back from the field in the afternoon and was anxious to see him, so he took out dozens of minutes to tell Gu Song in the office about the general process of arresting the suspect.

Back in the early morning of June 25, 2016, a hostage-taking case occurred at the Longwan Pavilion Bathing Center.

After Zheng Guoqiang's death, the suspect Huang Yong disappeared for a week, and finally appeared in disguise at the Longwan Pavilion Bathing Center.

At that time, the surveillance personnel squatting nearby were negligent for a moment and did not immediately identify Huang Yong's identity, but they had already greeted the staff of the bathing center, and once Huang Yong appeared in the bathing center, they must notify the police as soon as possible and cooperate with the police to carry out the arrest operation.

Huang Yong is a cunning and vigilant man. He didn't know in advance that he had been locked up by the police, otherwise he wouldn't have dared to run to the bathing center to meet Huanhuan. (It turns out that Huanhuan, who was once suspected by the police, had no knowledge of the crimes committed by Huang Yong.) When she learned Huang Yong's true identity, she was so frightened that her face turned pale on the spot, she vomited wildly, and almost fainted. ）

Huang Yong was suspicious and realized that he might have been ambushed by the police because he had a panicked expression on his face when he saw the front desk lady recognize his identity. Although that expression was only flashed and was covered up by the other party's best efforts, Huang Yong still felt that the situation was strange.

In order to protect himself, he immediately took out the 54 pistol he was carrying, took the front desk lady hostage, and asked him to evacuate with him through a safe evacuation exit.

The police didn't expect Huang Yong's reaction to be so fast, and he was caught off guard for a while. Coupled with the fact that the police stationed at the bathing center at that time were not sufficient, a skirmish broke out between the two sides at the evacuation exit on the south side. Huang Yong wounded the hostages and fled, and there were no other casualties at the scene of the crime.

(On the morning of June 25, before Gu Song set off to find Miss M, he heard about the hostage-taking case in the bathing center from the news, and thought that the hostage taken by Huang Yong was Huanhuan, but it was actually a misunderstanding, because the name of the victim was not broadcast in the news.) ）

After Huang Yong successfully escaped from the bathing center, the police immediately issued an A-level wanted warrant for him, and the whole police were dispatched to track down his whereabouts, and opened a hotline to offer a reward of 100,000 yuan to collect clues from the general public to solve the case.

On the evening of June 25, 2016, the police received reliable information from the villagers of Shuiyan Village, and learned that the suspect Huang Yong had been haunting the vicinity of Shuiyan Village in the southeast of R City that afternoon, and it was very likely that he had taken refuge in the surrounding mountains and forests.

After learning of this news, the police immediately dispatched capable forces to search the nearby mountains and forests. Two hours later, it was completely dark, but the intense manhunt continued.

After fighting for a day and two nights, the police continued to narrow the encirclement and finally locked down the suspect's hiding area.

On the morning of June 27, 2016, an armed police officer and soldier were seriously wounded when Huang Yong was ambushed near a hidden cave.

Half an hour later, Team No. 3, led by Fan Cong, tracked down Huang Yong's location, and the two sides once again engaged in a fierce shootout.

Fan Cong rushed to the front and shot Huang Yong twice, one in the right leg and the other in the chest. But at the same time, Fan Cong's neck was also hit by Huang Yong's indiscriminate bullets. The bullet broke the carotid artery, and the blood flowed profusely, and Fan Cong soon died heroically due to excessive blood loss.

So far, the series of gun murder cases in R City has come to a successful end. The police have evidence that Huang Yong was also responsible for the armed robbery that occurred in Yichang, Hubei Province in late 2014.

The "6.7 convenience store shooting" caused two people to die on the spot, one died in the hospital due to his injuries, and another 10-year-old boy survived, causing only mild psychological trauma, and the amount involved in the case was 20,000 yuan;

The "6.13 armed robbery case" caused one person to die on the spot, and a criminal policeman was slightly injured, and the amount involved in the case was 70,000 yuan;

The "June 19 Revenge Murder Case" resulted in the death of one person;

The "June 25 hostage-taking case" caused one person to be seriously injured;

In addition, in the process of arresting the suspect, a 27-year-old criminal police officer was killed in the line of duty, and an armed police officer was seriously injured.

Up to now, the injured officers and men of the armed police have been out of danger and transferred to the intensive care unit for observation. The body of the deceased criminal police officer has been sent to the R City Funeral Home, and a memorial service will be held on the morning of June 29, 2016.

After listening to Qiao Sheng's narration, Gu Song's face could no longer make any expression, as if all the muscles and nerves were necrotic, and all that was presented was sluggishness and numbness.

Of course, Qiao Sheng knew how sad Gu Song's heart was.

He watched Fan Cong and Gu Song enter the criminal police team one after another, and gradually grew into the main team members who were in charge of themselves. They are both partners and friends, cooperate tacitly at work, and have a close relationship in life, like brothers. What did the loss of such a comrade-in-arms mean to Gu Song, Qiao Sheng felt unbearable when he thought about it.

However, Gu Song did not shed tears, nor did he show any sadness or anger. This state of affairs makes people even more worried.

"If you want to cry, cry out, don't hold back." Qiao Sheng pressed his hand on Gu Song's shoulder and said worriedly. Gu Song ignored him, and didn't even blink his eyes, as if sitting in front of him was a soulless walking corpse.

"Gu Song, you are making a little noise, don't scare me." Qiao Sheng was a little flustered, and shook Gu Song's body tentatively, but unfortunately the other party still didn't react. "If you want to be alone for a while, I can go out now. If you feel unwell, I'll arrange for someone to take you to the hospital. Don't ......."

"Brother......" Gu Song suddenly raised his head, looked at Qiao Sheng with empty and godless eyes, and opened his mouth for a long time without saying a word.

Qiao Sheng was so anxious that he broke out in a cold sweat, and said in his heart that this guy had a mental problem, and now that he was so stimulated, he would have to make an old mistake again.

At this moment, Gu Song stood up from the sofa and walked outside the office without saying a word. Qiao Sheng was really relieved, and asked nervously, "Why are you going?" ”

Gu Song stopped and replied slowly, "I, I want to go and see him......"

"I'll find someone to take you there, it's dangerous for you to drive like this."

Gu Song nodded, and his stagnant thoughts seemed to start working again.

At 17:28, Gu Song arrived at the R City Funeral Home accompanied by the driver.

Coming to the room where the body was parked, Gu Song didn't dare to approach the corpse that was already cold. He wished that Fan Cong was just too tired from work and fell asleep tiredly. He walked over, tugged Fan Cong's arm, and yelled mischievously, "Don't sleep, get up and catch the bad guys!" Then Fan Cong would reluctantly open his eyes, call him a slut, and then fall back into a deep sleep, snoring.

However, such a scenario is no longer possible.

The one who went out with him to the scene, ran to investigate, and arrested the suspect; The one who ran with him, practiced shooting, and used him as a human punching bag for free; When he is happy, he will invite him to dinner, and when he is depressed, he will pull him to drink until dawn; The brother who always believes in him no matter what happens, even if he quarrels and fights, he will not remember that the other party is not the slightest bit bad, and he will never wake up again......

It was only at this moment that Gu Song really felt that he had lost the most important friend in his life forever.

He gritted his teeth and took the first step with difficulty, but his legs were so heavy as if they had been filled with lead, and it was as if countless hands were holding him at the leg of his trousers, preventing him from going on.

At a distance of less than ten meters, he walked for three minutes. Finally, when he approached the corpse and saw the familiar face, he could no longer bear the grief in his heart and fell to his knees.

Do you know what heartache feels like? It's like someone holding a sharp knife and ripping out your heart piece by piece, you can't bleed or die, but the pain will slowly erode every cell in your body, and the pain will make you unable to breathe. You can only release this pain through self-harm-like venting, sometimes crying out loud, sometimes screaming hysterically......

After holding back for nearly seven hours, Gu Song's emotions were finally released. He knelt on the ground, holding his head in his hands, and wept as he said "I'm sorry" to his friend who would never wake up again. The heartbreaking scene was unbearable to look at, and even the funeral home staff shed tears.
