Chapter 282: A Dull Atmosphere

People can dream, sweet dreams or nightmares. Oddly enough, sweet dreams are mostly fake, while nightmares can be real. People who have not been haunted by nightmares cannot understand this pain, and it can make you unable to recognize yourself and even lose hope. For Xu Lang, life itself is a nightmare, and he knows very well that this dream will not wake up.

Ning Yanran stayed in Lu Ye's office for half an hour, during this time, there were only two of them in the office, and no one knew what they were talking about.

When Ning Yanran returned to the office area of the second criminal investigation team, Zhang Lei and the others were all busy with their own things with their heads down, on the surface, they didn't care about Ning Yanran's arrival, when Ning Yanran returned to the office alone, everyone who was still bowing their heads and doing things raised their heads one after another, looked at Ning Yanran's silhouette with a puzzled face, and whispered something.

"Brother Lei, what do you say is wrong with Team Ning? She seems to have been stabbed by something? Zhu Xumei didn't know what came to Zhang Lei's side and asked in a low voice.

Zhang Lei looked through the glass at Ning Yanran sitting on the office chair in the office with a frowning face, and he was also puzzled, he had been with Ning Yanran for more than a year, and he knew Ning Yanran more or less, don't look at Ning Yanran's usual appearance of talking and doing things a little fiercely, but no matter what difficult case Ning Yanran encountered, she would not show such an embarrassed expression as now.

Sometimes, when Zhang Lei and Zhao Hua discussed in private, they all said that Ning Yanran was really similar to Xu Lang in some aspects at some times, especially during the period when Ning Yanran began to contact Xu Lang, they joked in private that Ning Yanran was becoming more and more like Xu Lang.

Thinking of this, Zhang Lei couldn't help but think of Xu Lang, since the 7.12 case, Xu Lang has disappeared, and as of today, a full month has passed, I don't know how Xu Lang is now.

Zhang Lei heard Zhu Xumei's question, he looked at Ning Yanran's silhouette, retracted his gaze, shook his head and said, "I don't know what's wrong with Team Ning." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Zhu Xumei to ask anything more, he had already walked away with the information in his hand.

Zhu Xumei stood in place, looked at Ning Yanran's silhouette, and then looked at the rest of the second criminal investigation team, frowning, she couldn't understand the group of people in the second criminal investigation team.

It is not surprising that Zhu Xumei can't understand Ning Yanran, Zhu Xumei, Lao Kaige, and Bu Zimo came to the second criminal investigation team after the murder of the taxi on a rainy night, and they didn't come long before the 7.12 major case occurred, originally she and Lao Kaige were college students who had just graduated from the police academy, and they didn't adapt to the environment and working atmosphere here when they came to the second criminal investigation team, and they had less contact with Zhang Lei, so they naturally didn't know much about them.

When they came, they were full of joy, full of illusions and expectations for the future, but when they came, they were three people, but, not long after they came, there were only two people left of the three people, and Bu Zimo, who talked and laughed with them all the way and took care of them very much, chose to betray not long after coming to the second criminal investigation team, which is undoubtedly a huge blow to them who have just come out of the police academy and have just stepped into the big dye vat of society, Zhu Xumei and Lao Kaige are also uncomfortable, Zhu Xumei was betrayed by Bu Zimo, Zhao Hua sacrificed, and Ning Yanran was injured and hospitalized, she and Lao Kaige were treated differently by Zhang Lei and them, and transferred their anger towards Bu Zimo to the two of them, how could Zhu Xumei's heart feel good?

Zhu Xumei's father is the deputy director of the Provincial Public Security Department, although he is not the deputy director of H Province, but, in the final analysis, Zhu Xumei is also a second-generation official, before, when Zhu Xumei was at home, the people around her were either the director or the deputy director, or the captain, the captain level, those people saw her, either praised or praised, when did they say anything serious to her? However, since she came to the second criminal investigation team, she has suffered a lot of grievances, but she can only bury these grievances in her heart and cannot tell.

During Ning Yanran's absence, no one cared about her, a rookie who had just stepped into society, no one comforted her, and no one took care of her, it seemed that she was just an outsider, at that time, Zhu Xumei also called her father, crying on the phone about her grievances, thinking about letting her father transfer her back, but what she didn't expect was that her father, who had always been very talkative, not only did not comfort her when she chose to cry, but also criticized her fiercely. Zhu Xumei's heart became more and more aggrieved.

At the beginning, Zhu Xumei didn't understand Zhang Lei's mood very much, and felt hypocritical, since he chose the police industry, in the face of those vicious gangsters, sacrifice is inevitable, this is what many police officers who work the front line dream of, Zhang Lei They have nothing to let go, in Zhu Xumei's view at that time, sacrifice is a good thing, not only can make meritorious service but also be rated as a martyr, this is a matter of glory to the ancestors, she can't wait to sacrifice herself, but when she and Zhang Lei have been with them for a long time, She began to slowly understand this feeling, especially when she received Zhao Hua's elderly parents, in the cold morgue, Zhu Xumei looked at them and looked at Zhao Hua's cold corpse lying in the freezer, crying so heartbreaking, dead and alive, Zhu Xumei slowly understood that death is really easy, and it takes courage to live.

When Ning Yanran came back from the hospital, everyone rarely saw a smile on Ning Yanran's face, even Zhu Xumei, a raw melon egg, could see the dead suppressed anger and grief on Ning Yanran's body, let alone Zhang Lei who had followed Ning Yanran for so long.

Whether it is Zhu Xumei, Lao Kaige, or Li Lei, who was angered by everyone else in the second criminal investigation team, they were very silent when they saw Ning Yanran, Bu Zimo's betrayal not only hit the people of the second criminal investigation team, but also hit everyone in the criminal investigation detachment in the north of the city, and Zhao Hua's sacrifice, the saddest and most unbearable except for Zhao Hua's family, belongs to Ning Yanran, the reason why Zhao Hua will sacrifice and die is because he wants to save Ning Yanran, which is the most unbearable for Ning Yanran.

It takes great courage to die, and sometimes it takes great courage to live, Ning Yanran's mood is not understandable to ordinary people, her current life is not just her own, but Zhao Hua exchanged her life for it, this point, Ning Yanran is very clear in her heart, Zhang Lei They are also very clear in their hearts, so since Ning Yanran came back from the hospital, every day is like clockwork, desperately handling cases, desperately looking for clues and evidence, desperately working overtime, why is she doing this? It was clear to everyone.

Zhao Hua's death made everyone feel very uncomfortable, but there was one more thing that made them feel at ease, and that was Xu Lang.

Since the 7.12 case, Xu Lang has disappeared inexplicably, whether he is dead or alive, no one dares to judge easily, when they received a request for support from the Chengdong Criminal Investigation Detachment, they were at the scene of Liang Zihui's murder, and when they saw the person who was very similar to Xu Lang in the surveillance video, their feelings were very complicated.

Each of them has a different opinion on whether that person is Xu Lang or not, but the more this is the case, the more uncomfortable they feel in their hearts, a very strange atmosphere permeates the hearts of everyone, if that person is Xu Lang, then Liang Zihui's death has a lot to do with Xu Lang, and now there is a person who has betrayed them and betrayed the organization, and this person is still a member of the second criminal investigation team, they are already very uncomfortable, if Xu Lang also betrays them and betrays the organization, they really don't know what to say.

Compared with Bu Zimo, Xu Lang's betrayal is the heaviest straw in their hearts, Xu Lang came to the second criminal investigation team from the police academy, as the captain of the second criminal investigation team, this stay is more than three years, Zhang Lei and Xu Lang have already formed a tacit understanding, especially in the past three years, Xu Lang has taken them to solve major cases, important cases, and murder cases, so they have won countless praises and awards from their superiors, they have long been accustomed to Xu Lang's existence, although later Xu Lang left the second criminal investigation team for personal reasons, However, Xu Lang has never really left them, which is not too good news for them, however, now, Xu Lang's disappearance and sudden appearance, their complicated feelings can be imagined.

What happened in the eastern district of the city last night, everyone's heart was very heavy, when Bu Zimo betrayed the organization and chose to embark on the road of no return to crime, when all the evidence proved that most of the recent series of murders were committed by Bu Zimo, everyone wanted to arrest Bu Zimo alive as soon as possible, and asked him face to face, why did he do this, this is not only the voice of everyone in the second criminal investigation team, but also the voice of everyone in the criminal investigation detachment in the north of the city, it's just that this sentence, at the moment when Bu Zimo chose to shoot himself, It came to an abrupt end.

As a policeman, it is their duty to arrest criminals, no matter who the other party is, no matter what the identity of the other party is, they must arrest the other party in accordance with the law, but what they want to arrest is a living criminal, not a cold corpse, Bu Zimo's death, not only did not make everyone happy, on the contrary, Bu Zimo's death made their hearts extremely heavy.

The last words of Bu Zimo made all of them who thought that these cases were over, deeply feel that Bu Zimo's death may not be the end, but a new beginning.

Li Lei, as the deputy captain of the second criminal investigation team, when Ning Yanran was not there, he needed to be responsible for all the actions of the second criminal investigation team, today Ning Yanran didn't know what was going on, after she had a meeting in the morning, after urgently dealing with Bu Zimo's case, she went out, no one knew where she went, she was already in a heavy mood, not only did her mood not improve, but on the contrary, Ning Yanran's mood became more and more bad.

After Li Lei sorted out all the files of Bu Zimo, he knocked on the door of Ning Yanran's office with these files.

Ning Yanran was sitting on the chair in a daze thinking about things, but a sudden knock on the door interrupted her thoughts, and after Ning Yanran came back to her senses, she sorted out her emotions and then said, "Come in." ”

After Li Lei walked into the office, he closed the door, put the file in his hand on the table in front of Ning Yanran, and after sitting down on the chair opposite Ning Yanran, Li Lei found that Ning Yanran's face was not good, so he asked, "Team Ning, didn't you rest well last night?" Why don't you go back and take a break, we're here for the team. ”

Hearing Li Lei's voice, Ning Yanran shook her head, and after glancing at the file on the table, she picked it up and flipped through it casually, and said, "I'm fine." ”

Hearing Ning Yanran say this, Li Lei still wanted to say something, but when he saw Ning Yanran frowning and flipping through the file, he didn't say anything more.

After Ning Yanran looked at the file for a while, she asked: "Bu Zimo is in the case, the murder case of the taxi driver and the murder of Zhu Pan can basically be closed now, in this way, you write a report on the closure of the case and hand it to the Land Bureau, and after the Land Bureau approves it, tell the families of these victims about this matter as soon as possible, which can be regarded as giving them an explanation." ”

Li Lei nodded and said, "I'll write the case closure report when I go back." ”

Ning Yanran flipped through the file again and said, "How is the investigation of Qian Kunpeng and Liang Zihui's case? ”

Li Lei thought for a while and said: "Although the person who killed Qian Kunpeng and Liang Zihui was Bu Zimo, and now Bu Zimo is dead, there are still many problems that have not been clarified, and it will take some time for their case to be closed." ”

Ning Yanran nodded and said: "This Qian Kunpeng and Liang Zihui both have a high social status in society, you must be cautious when investigating the case, don't leave any words for them, although they are dead, but the illegal things they did before must be investigated clearly to see what illegal things they have done." ”

Li Lei nodded and said, "I know this, I have already comraded Captain Zhao of the Chengdong Criminal Investigation Detachment in this matter." ”

Ning Yanran put down the file in her hand, looked at Li Lei, and asked, "The corpses of Bu Zimo and Wang Hong..."

Li Lei knew what Ning Yanran wanted to ask, and said: "The bodies of Wang Hong and Bu Zimo have been sent to the forensic doctor, and the autopsy is now underway, and it is estimated that the autopsy report will be issued later." ”

Ning Yanran nodded, she thought for a while and asked, "Has Bu Zimo's gun been found?" ”

"The gun has been found at the scene, and I have confirmed with the comrades at the gun depot that the gun found at the scene is indeed our lost police gun." Li Lei continued to report.

Ning Yanran nodded, and suddenly, she remembered something and asked, "How many bullets are left in the gun?" ”

"There are no more bullets in the gun, and the shot that Bu Zimo shot himself with is the last bullet." Li Lei said.

Ning Yanran frowned, looked at Li Lei and asked, "Are you sure?" ”

Li Lei nodded and said: "We conducted a detailed investigation of the scene, and found twelve bullet shells and ten warheads at the scene, plus three that were found in Zhao Hua's body before, and one from Zhu Pan's house, a total of sixteen bullets, all of which are all there, which is exactly the same as when Bu Zimo received the gun in the gun store, and registered and took it." ”

After listening to Li Lei's report, Ning Yanran's frowning brows not only did not loosen, but became more and more wrinkled, and she asked: "Only ten warheads were found at the scene, and two warheads were not found?" ”

Li Lei nodded and said, "I haven't found it yet." ”

Ning Yanran's face was a little solemn and said, "Keep looking, you must find the remaining two warheads." ”

Li Lei looked at Ning Yanran's solemn expression, and asked with some puzzlement: "Are those two warheads that important?" ”

Ning Yanran looked at Li Lei and didn't speak, just nodded heavily.

Seeing this, Li Lei didn't ask much.

After being silent for a while, Ning Yanran asked, "Did you find anything at the scene of the crime?" ”

Li Lei thought for a while and said: "The scene has been greatly damaged, and many clues and evidence have been destroyed, but we still found some important clues at the scene. ”

"What clues?" Ning Yanran asked.

"When we investigated the scene, we found a lot of footprints at the scene, most of which are the footprints of the SWAT team members, and some of them are the footprints of Bu Zimo and Wang Hong, in addition, we also found a new footprint at the scene, which was not left by our people, nor by Bu Zimo and Wang Hong, the footprints I have extracted, and now the comrades of the technical department are doing footprint comparison and analysis, and there should be results later." Li Lei said slowly.

When Ning Yanran heard this, she said with a perk-steam attitude: "You mean to say that when we didn't rush to the scene of the crime, in addition to Bu Zimo and Wang Hong, there was a third person who appeared somewhere, right?" ”

Li Lei thought about it, nodded, and said, "It seems that this is the case at present. ”

After listening to Ning Yanran, she fell into deep thought, if the truth is really like this, then the case is far from over, there are three people at the scene, two of them died, Wang Hong fell from the stairs and died not long after the police arrived at the scene, whether he committed suicide or he killed him, there is no conclusion yet, Bu Zimo committed suicide is undoubted, so, what about the third person? Who is this third person? How did he leave the scene? If he left before the police came, then Wang Hong's death has no direct relationship with him, and if he left after the police came, then whether Wang Hong was killed by Bu Zimo or by this person, or whether he committed suicide by jumping off a building, remains to be discussed.
