Chapter 21: A Secret Without a Mystery (2)

Two shots right in the eyebrows? If it is a fixed target and a rifle, it can be done at a certain distance with a certain amount of training. If you are using a pistol, it is difficult to hit a moving target when it is not convenient to aim at it. Realistic shooting is not like the special effects of bullets in movie shots that will track the target, and it takes a lot of comprehensive conditions to hit the target.

The two policemen in the photo are not in the same position, at least five meters apart. With such an accurate hit, how high should the shooter be at a high level of shooting? I was shocked. Such accurate marksmanship! Such accurate marksmanship! I used to feel the same shock, and it was in that rainforest that our team was also encountered with such accurate marksmanship, and I couldn't help but sweat beads on my forehead.

"The blonde woman did it?" Before I had time to think about it, my thoughts were interrupted by a question from a young policeman.

"That's right, according to eyewitnesses at the scene, the blonde woman left the scene after shooting the policeman, acting unusually calm."

"Why?" The young policeman's questioning tone was heavy.

"I don't know, the local police have not solved the case, but the man who was killed has been identified as an Eastern European arms smuggler who has been active in the Middle East all year round."

"There are many such cases, but shootings abroad are common, but there have been more and more outrageous things recently. Let's organize a look and study together, which can be regarded as understanding the current international security situation. The old policeman turned off the TV while talking, "During this time, I will show you videos of real cases, most of them are unsolved cases abroad, some of them have clear clues, but most of the shooting cases can't figure out what's going on." ”

"It's still much safer to be a police officer at home than abroad." Before the end, a young police officer smiled and told the truth.

"At least we ban guns."

"No matter how powerful the flying knife is, it's still not as fast as the bullet, let's disperse, and then handle our own case."

The officers returned to their desks with a stagger, and the closed office door opened and three people walked out, one of whom was the female officer I had just met, and the other was familiar to me.

"Zhuang Yan? How did you get here? Zhang Dashan's voice was still as low and hoarse as before.

"Team Zhang?" I was surprised, "It's the New Year, and I don't have time to give you a New Year's greeting, but I didn't expect to meet here." ”

"You know?" The female police officer who had just met on the side asked.

"I've eaten a few times, and we're all friends." Zhang Dashan nodded.

"Well, this is Team Bell." The female police officer's eyes moved to the thin and tall officer beside Zhang Dashan in front of her, her face looked fierce, her eyes were black and could smoke, but her eyes were as sharp as a hunting dog, and she was about the same age as Zhang Dashan.

"Hello, I'm Zhuang Yan, I want to report to you about the off-road vehicle at the intersection outside Aikang Park yesterday, and I also want to know a little about the situation." I looked at the sharp-eyed, capable detective.

"Okay, then go to my office, I'll go down and send Team Zhang first. Xing Shan, you take her first. Team Zhong instructed the female police officer who was calling Xing Shan on the side.

"You're still helping with Aikang's security business? Isn't that company already going through the process of forced bankruptcy, so you should get out of it after the year. Zhang Dashan's words seem to have only said half of it, and Dong Jian seemed to have told me the other half before.

"I understand, Happy New Year to Team Zhang, go slowly."

Zhang Dashan nodded at me, his voice still hoarse, "Happy New Year." ”

Xing Shan took me to the door of the criminal police captain's office and pushed the door open, a strong smell of smoke poured out, I turned my head sideways and glanced at the name of Zhong Shi, the head of the criminal police detachment, on the door sign, "Please come in, the captain will come up in a while, you drink a glass of water first." ”

Took the paper cup handed by Xing Shan, looked around, the thick stacks of files were piled up half a meter high, although the cigarette butts and ashes in the ashtray had been cleaned, but the ashtray had been smoked black, even if no one smoked, the walls in this room also emitted a strong smell of smoke. The windows were open, and I sat on a long sofa with a thin blanket on the back, where the owner of the office must have spent countless sleepless nights.

The photo of the black SUV was prominently placed on his desk, and the photo of the driver who had been killed was stacked on top of each other, as if he had just taken on the case.

"I've been waiting." Bell Stone's voice.

I stood up.

"It's okay, you sit. Xing Shan, you also go and bring a chair and take a notebook to record it. Zhong Shi pulled the chair that was originally facing the desk from the side, and the movement was clean.

"I didn't expect the Chinese New Year to come tomorrow, you guys are still so busy, and you were still organizing video learning just now."

"How can there be any holidays in our business, going to work is to keep safe, and besides, we want to celebrate the New Year, criminals don't necessarily want to take a holiday to rest, don't you say?" Zhong Shi grinned as he took his teacup, then pulled out two cigarettes from his cigarette case.

I took the cigarette and lit it for him first, and then lit it myself, this time I was familiar with it, Xing Shan took the paper and pen and sat on the other side of the sofa ready to record.

"It's a long way to go on a special trip, so let's talk about it first." Zhong Shi spat out his cigarette, which mixed with the steam of the tea, and the sour taste in the air became even stronger.

"I just wanted to see if I could provide some clues...", I recounted what happened the night before when I was tracked back to the hotel, and I omitted the two eggs that fell from a high altitude, and I guess such an accident should be difficult to prove.

"You're trying to get us to check the section of road you're being tracked and the surveillance in front of your hotel apartment?" Zhong Shi seems to have finally found a clue in a pile of hemp rope.

"Yes, if I'm not mistaken, but you can't be sure until you've seen the surveillance."

"We are investigating the reason why this person was killed, he was not killed in a car accident, so the traffic police handed over the case to us, you should have seen this at the scene yesterday." Zhong Shi furrowed his eyebrows, "We have just started investigating the other clues, but they are not comprehensive, but what you said provides clues." ”

"Can I ask a few questions about this driver?"

"Excuse me, if you can tell me, I can tell you." Zhong Shi flipped through the photos of the black SUV and the driver's data on his lap from his desk.

"It's nothing, it's just basic information." I guess that a lot of things about the case are unknown to the criminal police detachment that has just taken over, so only the basic information is the most authentic and credible.

"Vila Pujol, a young tourist from Indonesia to China, has an address that is not known for the time being, and the address registered on the visa is not accurate, and it seems that he has changed his address after living for two days, and he is 29 years old. The black SUV was rented, and the rental company had already presented the information to a colleague in the traffic police force, and that's it. Zhong Shi told me as he flipped through it, "This matter still needs to contact the foreign affairs department, and more information may need to be investigated after the departments go to work after the year." ”

"Oh, that's right, then if I can think of more information, I will report back to you in time, and I also want to know the follow-up information of this Indonesian friend."

"You just contact Xing Shan, I have arranged for my colleagues to investigate this matter, but many things have to wait until the New Year, we don't have a holiday, but other departments are going to celebrate the New Year."

"Thank you and Happy New Year."

"Happy New Year."

After leaving the substation, I finally breathed the fresh air from the sea breeze, and looked back at the criminal police detachment on the second floor that was still working non-stop. A young traveler from a foreign country who does not have an exact address, and everything except the name is quite doubtful, and perhaps even the name is difficult to say is true. I can basically be sure that he has nothing to do with the glass ball incident, but why did he kill Li Xiaoai? Is it a personal vendetta or is there a larger conspiracy? Is there something hidden in the question that I have a hard time finding my way, and this matter has passed silently? What is the reason behind this? My gut tells me that something must have gone wrong, but what went wrong?

It was past noon when I returned to the Aikang Park, and the warm sea breeze swept up the fallen leaves in the park that had not been cleaned for several days, and there was an indescribable gloom. The two security guards looked listlessly at the mobile phone screen at the gate, laughing and chatting with each other from time to time, and didn't even have time to raise their eyes to glance in the direction of the door.

Back outside Li Xiaoai's office, it was quiet inside, I didn't knock on the door, but leaned outside the door and looked inside. She was flipping through a tattered photo album, moving slowly, her gaze lingering on each one for a few seconds, and in an age when photographs were almost entirely digital, those paper photographs should hold memories of a long time ago.

"Ah, I'm sorry." Li Xiaoai finally came back to her senses from the album and closed the album in a panic, "Please come in." ”

"It's nothing, I shouldn't have bothered you in the first place, did I have lunch?" I got up from the reclining door frame and approached the coffee table and reception sofa in the office, and served the still warm meal in the tea room on the coffee table.

"No, no~"

"What are you nervous about?" I was a little puzzled, "Why are you so nervous?" ”

"No, it's just old photos." Li Xiaoai walked from the desk to the sofa in front of the coffee table.

"The food is still hot, so let's eat it."

Li Xiaoai opened the lunch box and smiled at me, but I could feel that the smile was just a cover floating above the corners of her sad eyes, "Thank you." ”

"I don't know what you like to eat, so..."

"Don't bother, thank you." She tucked the strands of her sideburns behind her ears, still in that gentle tone and expression, like ice hidden under warm water.

On this family reunion season, we should have chatted with my family at home, watched boring soap operas together, sang and ate together, played cards and mahjong, laughed and laughed, and the air was filled with sweet words. But at this time, she had to stay in the cold office, maybe she didn't want to go home, but she was really homeless, right? I couldn't help but feel sour, what about the home I once longed for? Isn't it gone?
