Chapter 35: Despair and Hope
His words were like a muffled thunderbolt that rumbled into my head. My mind went blank for a moment.
I began to push back one by one in my mind along the case and my previous inferences, and found that there really wasn't any direct evidence to prove the crimes that Fang Jing had committed.
In the cash transactions of that year, the direct source of the money could not be found; "Lacking brother", it is even more impossible for him to admit that he is in the same stream as Fang Jing;
Even among all the police officers who participated in the investigation at that time, they all thought that Fang Jing was a good policeman who worked hard and was active.
There is no evidence. There is no direct evidence.
Even if there were, it would have been drowned in the torrent of time long ago, and it was completely deleted by him or his comrades.
I froze there, feeling overwhelmed for a moment.
The person in front of me seemed to be a monster with multiple faces, first admitting the crime he had committed in a low voice, and then completely pulling me back to square one with a "no evidence" statement.
I thought he still had the most basic rules of being a man; I thought he still had that purity in the deepest part of his heart; I thought that he was really out of kindness when he helped children who didn't have parents.
I was wrong.
I couldn't be more wrong.
Fang Jing walked over and patted me on the shoulder, like a winner who had just won the game, and comforted me, the person who was completely defeated by him, with a condescending attitude.
I still can't lift this dark veil, I can't even beat this little link; I still can't fulfill Wu Xue's entrustment to me before his death, he completely overestimated me; I still can't save the children who are in trouble......
I suddenly felt very disappointed in myself.
At this moment, the door was suddenly opened. It's the master who is back. She pushed open the door in a hurry, only to see the two of us standing strangely in the guest room, looking at each other without saying a word.
"Yo, what are you two doing here? Quarrelsome? Come on, come on, don't stand stupidly, sit and watch TV for a while, I'll make you food. ”
Shi Niang didn't realize what was going on between us at all.
Fang Jing looked at her, then at me, and said in an extremely contemptuous tone:
"No, he's leaving soon."
"Hey, what's the matter, Xiao Feng didn't stay for dinner today?" Shi Niang looked at me with a puzzled expression.
I stared at Fang Jing fiercely, clenching my fists tightly, my nails digging deep into my flesh.
"Yes. I'm here to say goodbye. There's something going on at my police station, so I need to go back quickly. Master, I have had a very happy time with you these days, and I have eaten a lot of dishes you cooked, sorry for your trouble, and thank you for taking care of you these days. I'm leaving. ”
With that, I opened the door without looking back, and left the hut that I felt suffocated.
There was also the voice of the master behind him:
"Xiao Feng! Let's finish today's meal and leave! This kid, just go. It's really ......."
I almost ran out of the neighborhood. I want to get out of here as soon as possible, I want to escape. I was completely defeated. Now I'm a deserter. I'm going to run back to my S City and be a little cop again.
I immediately booked a train ticket back to S city on my phone. Then I ran back to my place and packed my things.
I quickly got on the bus to the train station.
I don't want to worry about this case anymore. I felt like I couldn't do it. I felt like I couldn't overturn the truth behind all the truth, I couldn't find the fundamental chain of interests.
Suddenly, I remembered the police comrades who were still far away in Vietnam. I was so excited that I almost forgot they existed. They haven't given up yet. They are still on the land of Vietnam, continuing to scout the truth behind this. They are still trying to overthrow this edifice of interests.
and Ouyang Qian, she must still be in Vietnam at this time, let's be with them. This enthusiastic intern should be about to turn regular in a short time.
None of them have given up, so what qualifications do I have to give up?
I decided to stay anyway.
Just now, Fang Jing had already admitted to me the crime of the year, which further illustrated the correctness of my thinking. In this way, since my thinking is right, then they must be able to find clues in Vietnam. There is still hope, after all, I still have my comrades behind me.
And those who stand on the chain of money are just for their own interests. They're just a mess, they don't have anyone behind them, and they can immediately sell their teammates for profit.
If there is no physical evidence, then we will find someone to testify! Let's just find the person who is most directly related to the interests of this case!
Thinking of this, I am ashamed of my discouragement just now. I immediately told the driver to stop and jumped out of the bus.
I'm going to wait, I'm going to go back to that hotel, and I'm going to continue to monitor Fang Jing. If there is progress on their side, Fang Jing is likely to make a series of moves. I had to wait, wait for him to leak himself.
So I have to wait. I want to unmask this person's face in front of my mother.
And so it passed five days. I didn't go out every day. Instead, he carefully monitored the movements at the gate of Fang Jing's community to see if he had any thoughts of escaping. And every time he went out, I would quietly follow him and watch him closely.
At the same time, I also kept learning about the latest situation of their actions from Ouyang Qian.
To my surprise, their operation was unusually successful. According to my train of thought, and the cooperation with the local police in Vietnam, they quickly found the largest underground brothel in the local area, and got in touch with several prostitutes in their 20s (including male prostitutes) and found that they had indeed been trafficked here!
In addition, they also learned that the brothel was closely related to the local underworld organization and was protected by the underworld organization. According to the information they learned from several local triad elements, their boss often interacted with a Chinese person, who was likely to be the one who invested in the construction of the brothel.
So the Vietnamese police and the Chinese police worked together to eliminate this brothel that was seriously involved in gangsters, gambling, drugs, and pornography with the help of the armed forces.
The sheer size of this brothel is unimaginable. They almost bought the size of a small local city and built this ornate and extravagant building in the name of building a palace courtyard landscape.
Inside, there are swimming pools, fountains, amusement parks, you name it. Many wealthy capitalists even use it as a resort for leisure and vacation.
