Chapter 31: The Beginning and the End

Yan Yu was still entangled with Guan Rui about his identity, and Meng Jiefang's words suddenly ended the topic.

"Dig up a dragon?"

It's a fantasy!

Facing Yan Yu and Guan Rui's eyes full of doubts, Meng Jiefang also sat down, took a sip of raw water, and unbuttoned his collar before explaining.

"There is a big space under the statue, but I can't dig down, the place where the two children stay, is the dragon horn, the dragon horn carved from the boulder, if the statue is complete, I am afraid of ......"

Yan Yu and Guan Rui also looked at each other, they never thought that such a thing would happen!

If the place where the big and small double stayed was just the dragon's horns, if there really was a whole dragon statue, how big would it be!

"Professor Zhang has already called back to the exploration team, saying that he asked the experts from the provincial archaeological team to come and have a look."

"The water source ......" This is a question that Yan Yu is most concerned about.

"What is the water source...... According to Professor Zhang's preliminary inference, the faucet should be intact, and the water source is spewing out from the faucet, and only a part of it seeps out. ”

"Oh yes, Professor Zhang also mentioned you, saying that your local chronicle should be found and handed over to the archaeological experts in the province as reference materials."

"If he didn't make a mistake, the underground of the Dragon King Temple is the underground river you said, but let this dragon statue be intercepted, leaving only the dragon's mouth to spray water."

"But judging from the degree of infiltration, I'm afraid that most of the dragon's mouth has also been blocked, and if it can be released, the water of the dark river can be used by us."

When Meng Jiefang said this, he was a little worried, but also a little excited.

"However, it's not a matter of water at the moment, such a huge underground building will inevitably become a major archaeological discovery, don't say that the experts in the province, I'm afraid that the higher-level departments will be involved!"

Speaking of this, he seemed to realize something, and his previous worries were gone, replaced by burning eyes, which seemed to be mediocre for most of his life, and suddenly came to a huge ambition.

"Guan Rui, you and your comrades temporarily stop all the work at hand, be sure to protect the Dragon King Temple, and in addition, go back to the institute and mobilize all the manpower to come over, you must do this well!"

"Mobilize everyone? Team Meng, I don't agree! Guan Ruiteng stood up and pressed his hands heavily on the table, and Meng Jiefang suddenly frowned.

However, Guan Rui didn't notice it at all, didn't care about the leader's face at all, and said seriously.

"Although it is a major archaeological discovery, this is not our job, it is okay to help protect the site, but there is no need for everyone to invest in it, we still have a case to do!"

"Li Zhun's wife can be confirmed to be a suicide after the investigation of the technical department, but Li Zhun is a homicide case, which has not yet been solved, the suspect is sitting in front of you and me, and the case is not closed, how can you distract yourself to be a watchdog for the archaeological team!"

Meng Jiefang was also a little unhappy: "Comrade Guan Rui, please pay attention to your attitude!" ”

Guan Rui also realized that he was talking too quickly, snorted, and sat down.

Meng Jiefang lit a cigarette, threw the foreign fire box on the table, and exhaled a puff of smoke before saying to Guan Rui.

"Tell me about your thoughts."

This was already a concession from Meng Jiefang, but Guan Rui took it for granted and did not give Meng Jiefang face at all.

"Although Yan Yu is a suspect, there are too many doubts in this case, my idea is to go into the mountains to search and find that mysterious person!"

"It's a mysterious person again......" Meng Jiefang's smile was undisguised mockery.

"Xiaoguan, I have been at the grassroots level for many years, although I am not as glamorous as you have repeatedly solved big cases in the provincial team, but I have also investigated many cases."

"I'll sort out this case for you first."

"Qin Dayou asked for rain and asked Li Zhun to help catch the monkey as a sacrifice, and Li Zhun wanted to go down the mountain to find a few children's clothes in order to prepare the sacrifice."

"The clothes of the big and small pairs are all 'really good', so he naturally refuses to give them, and Li Zhun is not a good person, so he picks up the child's clothes, and the child resists, he is afraid of being broken by someone, so he takes the child to the mountain."

"Zhao Jianghai has been hiding in the mountains, relying on mountain god sacrifices and hunting to live, found that his children were taken away by Li Zhun, naturally he wanted to save them, in the conflict, killed Li Zhun, Li Zhun's wife did not have the ability to survive independently, and committed suicide in despair."

"Zhao Jianghai wanted to take the child away and fly away, but was pursued by Yan Yu, in order to intimidate, he injured Yan Yu, snatched the shotgun, and injured Qin Zhong, who also came to pursue him, and then let you kill him."

"This case is as simple as that, record a confession for Teacher Yan Yu in a while, and close this case."

"It's as simple as that?" Guan Rui seemed to be a little suspicious of his ears, and he did not hide the disdain in his eyes, as if Meng Jiefang had told a fairy tale.

"Yes, it's as simple as that, there are no mystery people, and it's not as complicated as you think."

"This is grassroots life, there are not so many bizarre cases that turn around, and when you get used to the environment here and understand the terroir here, you will understand."

"I don't understand!" Guan Rui stood up again, he walked quickly to the cabinet, took out a stack of reports, and fell in front of Meng Jiefang with a bang.

"Everything is evidence, in addition to the fingerprints of Zhao Jianghai, Li Zhun and Yan Yu, there is also a mysterious person's fingerprints on the shotgun!"

No matter how good Meng Jiefang's temper was, he couldn't withstand the successive collisions, and slammed his knuckles on the table.

"Comrade Guan Rui! Don't forget, that girl touched that gun, too! ”

Hearing this, Yan Yu's heart was also tight, he had already discovered that the unkempt young man in the Orion hut was actually a girl, but he didn't expect that Meng Jiefang had already understood the situation.

Of course, this girl was imprisoned by Li Zhun's family, perhaps to protect the victim, Meng Jiefang did not reveal her news to Yan Yu, but only said that she was picked up by her family.

Guan Rui didn't believe it, he shook his head and said, "No, the technical department has already excluded that girl's fingerprints, except for her, there is another person's fingerprints!" ”

Meng Jiefang was already very impatient: "Li Zhun is not a good person, his gun is also of unknown origin, who knows who he has contact with on weekdays and left some fingerprints, that is normal." ”

Guan Ruifen didn't let it go: "If it is an old fingerprint, it will be erased or covered up, and the fingerprints on the gun are fresh, indicating that it is recent contact, these are all evidence that cannot be ignored!" ”

The two argued, and Meng Jiefang was also a little embarrassed, and said to Yan: "Teacher Yan, what do you think?" ”

Yan Yu is a suspect, and Yan Yu should not express his opinion.

But Guan Rui questioned his boss, and he didn't know how to get off the donkey down the slope after giving him the steps, so it was really ugly to go on with such a stalemate.

In Meng Jiefang's view, Yan Yu's suspicion in this case is not very big, because from beginning to end, Yan Yu has a witness, that is, Lin Xiaoyu.

And Lin Xiaoyu is the victim's family member, and she is also a party, so she has no motive or necessity to perjury for Yan Yu at all.

From this level, Meng Jiefang believes in Yan Yu.

He is different from Guan Rui, Guan Rui is a good attacker, an elite backbone transferred from the provincial team, and he has handled too many big and important cases, and he has come into contact with bizarre or dangerous cases.

But Meng Jiefang's contact with grassroots cases is mostly petty theft, or cases such as fights caused by family and neighborhood disputes.

And their ways of investigating cases are also different, Guan Rui is inclined to technology, while Meng Jiefang relies more on interpersonal relationships.

Guan Rui used technology to investigate, while Meng Jiefang conducted population screening and a large number of visits, one was the Flying Tigers and the other was Tubalu.

Therefore, whether it is from experience or emotion, Meng Jiefang has no reason to regard Yan Yu as a suspect, this case used a lot of manpower and mobilized the search and rescue team, but it was not as complicated as imagined.

He believed that Yan Yu would support his point of view, because with the suspicion removed, Yan Yu would be able to return to normal life.

This is also the reason why he asked Yan Yu's opinion, when the differences between the two people cannot be reconciled, after all, he hopes that a third party will intervene, otherwise there will be no way to break the situation.

However, Yan Yu's words did not solve the problem of Meng Jiefang.

"Team Meng, I believe that Zhao Jianghai will not lie to me, that mysterious person is hiding in the mountains, and I support Comrade Guan Rui's point of view."

"In addition, the big and small pairs should not have been taken away by Li Zhun, because Li Zhun is the demon image of Zhi'er crying at night in Laohe Fort, just look at his appearance, but whenever he shows his head, it will attract attention, but I am afraid that before it approaches, the children will all be scared away."

"I have surveyed in the sea buckthorn forest, there is no trace of fighting or resistance at the scene, the basket containing the sea buckthorn is well placed, the child should not be forcibly taken away, but coaxed away, and the person who took the child away is either an acquaintance of the child, or used some means to stun the child."

Meng Jiefang also looked displeased: "Li Zhun can also stun the child, right?" ”

Yan Yu shook his head: "Li Zhun's living environment in the mountains is not good, he shouldn't be able to get the medicine that can stun the child, besides, the imprisoned woman has a lot of wounds on her body, if Li Zhun has such medicine, there is no need to subdue that girl in such a cruel way......"

"You ......" In the face of Yan Yu's analysis, Meng Jiefang was also speechless, but Guan Rui looked at Yan Yu differently.

At this time, Wang Guoqing walked in from outside, panting, and was about to hand over the things in his hand to Guan Rui, when he saw that the atmosphere was not right, he turned to Meng Jiefang's front again.

"Team Meng, this is a temporary identity document of Teacher Yan Yu issued by the Education Bureau, as well as a letter of introduction, as well as personal resume information......"

Meng Jiefang took it, glanced at it, and became more and more convinced of Yan Yu's innocence in his heart, although Yan Yu didn't help him, he still threw the information to Yan Yu.

"Uncuff him and let the medical team take him to the county health center for treatment."

This can be regarded as clearing Yan Yu's suspicions.

But Guan Rui slammed the table and said, "No! Before the case is clarified, no one can let him go! ”
