Chapter Twenty-Eight

There is a police station on Shushi Road in Xiangcheng, and the director is called Matthew, and in another month, he should retire.

His only hobby is playing erhu in the vegetable field in front of his house.

The vegetable patch in front of the door is evergreen all year round, with leeks in spring, cucumbers in summer, spinach in autumn, and Chinese cabbage in winter.

On October 31, 2001, at 7:58 a.m., this man who had just finished pulling an erhu in a cabbage field, a policeman who was about to retire in a month, rode his bicycle to work, and had just walked to the unit, when three colleagues in the duty room stopped him and said that someone had given him a big cake.

Director Ma was at a loss: "Today is not my birthday, who sent it?" ”

A colleague said, "It's a young man with a peaked cap." ”

Director Ma asked, "Did he say what his name was?" ”

The colleague replied: "Goofy." ”

Director Ma touched his scalp: "I don't know." ”

Director Ma opened the box, and there was a loud "boom" - the cake exploded. Smoke rose into the sky with firelight, masonry flew wildly, and powerful shock waves shattered the glass of nearby houses, and when the dust settled, the duty room of the police station was in ruins. Director Ma and two police officers died on the spot, and the other was seriously injured.

At 1:30 p.m., the major case command held a case analysis meeting, which Bai Jingyu personally presided over, Zhou Xingxing, Hualong, and Han Bingyu all made speeches, and a female operator knocked on the door and walked into the conference room.

Bai Jingyu said to her that she was in a meeting, and she would talk about something later.

Female operator: "There's a strange call, you'd better pick it up." ”

Bai Jingyu: "What's so strange?" ”

Female operator: "Aren't we offering a bounty on Gao Fei?" ”

Bai Jingyu said: "Yes." ”

Female operator: "That guy said he was Goofy!" ”

Bai Jingyu rushed out of the conference room as fast as he could, picked up the phone, and Zhou Xingxing, Hualong, and Han Bingyu followed suit, standing next to him and listening.

Bai Jingyu: "Hey, please tell me, I am Bai Jingyu, the commander-in-chief of the big case." ”

Goofy: "I'm Goofy, bang, you all heard it, the sound of firecrackers." ”

Bai Jingyu: "Bastard, you are too arrogant!" ”

Goofy: "Let's talk about a deal, how about it?" ”

Bai Jingyu: "What deal?" ”

Goofy: "I put another bomb in another place where there are at least hundreds of children. ”

Bai Jingyu: "What do you want to do?" ”

Goofy: "I want to trade these 100 children for two people." ”

Bai Jingyu: "Who?" ”

Gao Fei: "Sanwen Qian and Ma Youzhai, let them go." ”

Bai Jingyu: "They have already been sentenced to death!" ”

Gao Fei: "Then only exchange three cents for one person." ”

Bai Jingyu: "We will not bargain with you, let alone be threatened by you." ”

Goofy: "Well, you should think about it, you know, you only have thirty minutes." If you don't agree, those 100 children will blow up all over the sky. Thinking about it, you guys are really stained, and it's still a good deal to exchange the lives of a hundred children for the lives of one person......"

Bai Jingyu stopped talking, looking at Zhou Xingxing and them, Zhou Xingxing took the phone and said in a firm tone:

"We will immediately escort Sanwen Qian and Ma Youzhai to the execution ground and carry out the death penalty!"

There was silence on the other end of the phone, and then he hung up.

The atmosphere in the big case command was solemn, Bai Jingyu walked around the room, thinking about something, and everyone looked at him. Finally, he picked up the walkie-talkie and gave the order:

"All police officers, immediately put down their work, all on standby, and the police officers who were on vacation were immediately recalled. Let me stress again that all police officers are on standby, whether they are armed police, criminal police, traffic police, fire police, film police, forensic doctors, pre-trial personnel, and household registration management personnel, all of them put down their work and give way to major cases, this is not just a crime, this is a war. ”

Bai Jingyu: "The bomb disposal team will prepare immediately and assemble within five minutes." ”

Drawing Dragon: "But we need to know where the bomb is?" ”

Bai Jingyu: "Where are there hundreds of children?" ”

Zhou Xingxing: "Schools, kindergartens, children's playgrounds. ”

Bai Jingyu: "Immediately contact the education department to provide a list of all schools and kindergartens in the city, and all the police will be dispatched to assist them in evacuating all students within 30 minutes and allowing them to go home for the holidays." ”

Han Bingyu: "I have to investigate where that call came from." ”

Twenty minutes later, the police found out that Gao Fei made a call at a commissary, which is located at the junction of urban and rural areas, with complex personnel and a very large turnover. According to the commissary owner, it was a young man wearing a hat who called and left a note saying that someone would come looking for him in a moment.

Bai Jingyu picked up the note and found a line written on it: You guys are late!

At 2 p.m. sharp, the bomb exploded. Although all police forces had been dispatched to evacuate the students, the police had forgotten about an orphanage that had been set up with donations from the people of the city, mostly for the children of inmates and street children. All the teachers are college students who volunteer to teach, please remember the name of one teacher here: Qin Buhui. Teacher Qin received a notice from the education department and immediately asked all the students to leave the classroom, because those students were homeless, so they gathered on the grass downstairs to play games, hoping that it was just a false alarm. There was a tin garbage can next to the grass, the more Teacher Qin looked at it, the more suspicious she became, in the garbage can she found a bomb, and the respectable teacher rushed to the empty playground with the bomb...... The bomb exploded, killing Teacher Qin on the spot, and all 113 orphans were unharmed except for two children who were slightly injured.

At 2:15 p.m., the phone of the Major Crime Command rang again.

Goofy: "I'm disappointed that I planted another bomb in another part of the city. ”

Bai Jingyu: "If you want us to release Sanwen Qian and Ma Youzhai, don't you think about it." ”

Goofy: "I've changed my mind now. ”

Bai Jingyu: "Do you want money?" ”

Gao Fei: "You ask Zhou Xingxing to answer the phone." ”

Zhou Xingxing took the phone and said, "Listen, I swear now, I swear to my deceased mother, I will catch you with my own hands." ”

Gao Fei: "Painting Dragon and Han Bingyu are also there, you and your two buddies, the three of you will arrest me." ”

Zhou Xingxing: "Okay, where do you say you are?" ”

Gao Fei: "Come on, under the rockery in People's Park." ”

Zhou Xingxing: "If I can't catch you, I will never be a policeman again!" ”

Goofy: "Remember, the three of you are stripped naked, only one pair of pants, and you can't get in the car, you can only run." And it can only be the three of you, if I find a fourth policeman under that rockery, I'll detonate the bomb, and if I can't see the three of you at 2:30, I'll detonate the bomb. ”

Zhou Xingxing: "You say it again, I didn't hear it clearly. ”

The phone hung up, beeping sound.

Zhou Xingxing, Hualong, and Han Bingyu glanced at each other and began to undress. A female police officer asked Bai Jingyu why they had to go naked.

Zhou Xingxing took over and replied: "In order to prevent us from bringing weapons." ”

The dragon also didn't forget to joke: "Unless we can hide the gun in the asshole." ”

Han Bingyu added: "Also, it's easy to recognize us this way. ”

The three of them quickly took off their clothes, and Bai Jingyu's face was solemn.

Hualong said to Bai Jingyu: "Boss, do you have any instructions?" ”

Bai Jingyu said: "I have only one request, the three of you must come back alive to see me, not one less." ”

Zhou Xingxing said: "It's a little cold. ”

Han Bingyu said: "It's warm when you run." ”

Bai Jingyu began to deploy, he ordered all the police officers to wear civilian clothes, and tightly controlled the surroundings of the People's Park, and he arranged more than 80 policemen on the periphery and 20 policemen in the park, and he asked all plainclothes policemen to pay close attention to all suspicious people.

Zhou Xingxing, Hualong, and Han Bingyu ran out of the police station and ran through the bustling commercial intersection, which immediately caused a commotion. Three naked men running naked together, what a peculiar sight, and the pedestrians on the street opened their mouths in astonishment and pointed their fingers. The three of them ran past a child, and the child was so frightened that he cried, and the frightened mother took the child's hand and said to her husband, "It must have run over the wall." The husband nodded and said, "I know, it's nothing, they will pee on the street, or pull their poop into their pants, I think I should call your second uncle and ask them if anyone from the mental hospital has escaped." ”

Drawing Dragon: "Actually, I've wanted to do this for a long time, running on the street without clothes. ”

Zhou Xingxing: "We think we are running a marathon." ”

Han Bingyu: "Marathon? See the eyes of others? Others look at us like three crazy people. ”

Ten minutes later, the three of them were standing under the park's rockery, exhausted and out of breath. The park is free and open, there are many visitors, there is a small rockery on the open ground, there is a fountain made of tap on the rockery, the water flows down, forming a pond, and there are goldfish swimming around in the pond.

The three of them looked around, taking a closer look. A young couple walked to the pavilion and sat down, a businessman stood on the side of the road and made a loud call, a student reading a book sat next to the bamboo forest, and an old man playing Tai Chi on the lawn.

Goofy won't come, he's not that stupid.

Then why does he want us here?

There's only one possibility, there's a bomb in this park too, and he wants to kill us.

If you were a high flyer, where would you put your bomb?

The eyes of the three of them scanned it, and finally landed on the rockery behind them. This rockery is indeed the best place to place bombs, and once detonated, the stones fly around, doubling the power. They jumped into the pond and saw a pile of rocks on the rockery, and when Han Bingyu carefully moved a few pieces, he found a time bomb inside.

Han Bingyu said, "You two run quickly, the farther you run, the better." ”

The dragon said, "What about you?" ”

Han Bingyu said, "I'll see if I can dismantle it." ”

Zhou Xingxing said: "I will accompany you." ”

"What will happen if this thing explodes?" ”

"You will be scattered all over the ground, and your nose will be twenty meters away from your toes. ”

Zhou Xingxing said to Hualong: "You are a girl's father, you should leave here as soon as possible." ”

"I don't want my daughter to say that her dad is a coward, when will this thing explode?" ”

Zhou Xingxing said: "At 2:30, because Gao Fei asked us to run here at 2:30. ”

The alarm clock showed 2:29 a.m., and in one minute, the bomb was about to explode. It's too late to get the innocent visitors in the park to safety in a minute.

The three of them lay on the ground, holding their breath and their hearts beating hard.

The bomb and the clock were tied together with duct tape and placed in an iron box. The smallest time bomb in the world is already the size of a bean, and it's powerful enough to blow a person's head apart. The explosives in the iron box were about two kilograms, and if they exploded, the entire rockery would be razed to the ground. The clock is connected to the explosives and the circuit board, and the detonator is not visible, and it should be hidden at the bottom, with only the red, yellow, and blue wires exposed. With only 30 seconds left before the explosion, the wires connecting the timer had to be quickly cut off. But which of these three wires should be cut? If you make a mistake and the circuit is backflowed, it will explode immediately.

Zhou Xingxing said: "Didn't you ever be a special soldier before? ”

Han Bingyu was sweating profusely: "But I haven't defused the bomb." ”

As the clock ticked by, Han Bingyu closed his eyes and pulled the red wire off. The clock stopped, and the bomb was unharmed and did not detonate.

Drawing the dragon said: "Special forces, it's really omnipotent, how do you know that you should dismantle the red?" ”

Han Bingyu said: "I'm blind, and I'm lucky." ”

The three of them let out a sigh of relief, stood up, and came down from the rockery.

"You should go buy a lottery ticket today." ”

Zhou Xingxing said: "We have to get out of here quickly, I always feel that something is wrong, my eyelids are jumping." ”

At this moment, Han Bingyu suddenly fell straight to the ground, and the painting dragon also screamed "ouch" and fell to the ground - two bullets were fired from a distance, one bullet hit the painting dragon's shoulder, and the other hit Han Bingyu's head.

This sudden change made Zhou Xingxing stunned, he looked back, there was no one behind him, he looked around, the park was surrounded by high-rise buildings, every window, every roof could be a place for ambush shooting.

All the police officers in the park ran over, and the ambulance soon arrived, and the scene was chaotic and the painting dragon was carried on a stretcher. A policeman picks up a warhead, which is pointed and elongated in shape, suitable for long-range shooting; Another policeman examined Han Bingyu's injuries, and the bullet entered the forehead, penetrated the skull, and shot out of the back of the head, killing Han Bingyu instantly.

"Lift him up." Zhou Xingxing said to the two policemen.

"He's dead." Said two police officers.

"I repeat, lift him up." Zhou Xingxing raised his voice.

"Calm down, don't be too upset, alas."

"Bastard, bastard!" Zhou Xingxing yelled, the sadness and anger in his heart could no longer be suppressed, and tears burst out of his eyes.

At this time, Bai Jingyu also rushed to the scene, Han Bingyu was lying on the cold ground, Bai Jingyu only glanced at it, and quickly twisted his head to the side, unable to bear to look at it again.

Zhou Xingxing said to Bai Jingyu: "I have a request. ”

Bai Jingyu said: "What requirements? ”

Zhou Xingxing said: "I want to be the commander-in-chief, and I want to catch them with my own hands." ”

Bai Jingyu said without hesitation: "Okay, I'll be your assistant." ”

Zhou Xingxing said to the two policemen: "Help Lao Han up." ”

A policeman muttered, "People are dead, what's the point of lifting him up." ”

Another policeman also spread his hands, expressing helplessness.

Bai Jingyu said expressionlessly: "The two of you will be deducted from the annual bonus, demerit punishment, and if you disobey the order, regardless of the size of the official position, you will be suspended and investigated." ”

Obviously, this phrase played a role.

The two policemen immediately helped Han Bingyu up, and the two of them held Han Bingyu and didn't dare to move.

Bai Jingyu said: "Do you want to wait for the trace forensic expert to ......?"

Zhou Xingxing interrupted him: "No, I want to investigate the scene alone." ”

Bai Jingyu: "There is no instrument and equipment to test ballistic traces. ”

Zhou Xingxing: "Local materials. ”

Bai Jingyu said: "Now you are the commander-in-chief, listen to you." ”

Zhou Xingxing said: "Blockade the scene. ”

The cordon was immediately set up, and some onlookers were stopped outside.

Zhou Xingxing said: "There is a bamboo forest in the pavilion over there, who will find a straight bamboo?" ”

Soon, the bamboo was found.

Zhou Xingxing said: "Knife." ”

An armed policeman put a military dagger in his hand.

Zhou Xingxing used a dagger to cut off the branches and leaves of the bamboo and cut it into a straight and slender bamboo pole.

The crowd of onlookers did not understand why he was doing this, and they exchanged ears and talked about it.

"I'm sorry." Zhou Xingxing inserted one end of the bamboo pole into the bullet hole on the head of the cold ice encounter, and he adjusted the direction and put the other end of the bamboo pole where the bullet landed.

"Old Han, tell me, where are they?" Zhou Xingxing muttered to himself, tears blurring his vision again.

Bullets came from a distance, pierced through the icy skull, and embedded in the ground. According to the principle of three points in a line, only a bamboo pole is needed, starting from the impact point, passing through the bullet hole of the ice and the head, and pointing to the position where the bullet is fired. Formal ballistics tests generally use laser lasers, and the bamboo pole that Zhou Xingxing sharpened was just as effective, he took aim, followed the direction indicated by the bamboo pole, and saw a window in a building.

It was a room in a hotel, and when I opened it, it was empty.

Zhou Xingxing temporarily set up the major case headquarters in the hotel, and asked trace forensics experts to inspect every corner of the room, and no clues could be missed. After technical inspection, soon, fingerprints were found on the teacup and the remote control of the TV, DNA was extracted from the cigarette butts smoked, and several clear shoe prints were found in the bathroom.

Half an hour later, tiny particles of gunpowder were detected on the curtain, indicating that they had fired at this window.

Zhou Xingxing asked the forensic expert to vacuum the sheets and floor, and found a few long hairs, and all three of them were men, which is very suspicious. A trace forensic expert analyzed, could it be the waiter's hair? Zhou Xingxing asked to find the waiter who cleaned the room immediately to see if it had long hair. It was soon found that the waiter was indeed long-haired.

Forensic experts found some food bags from the garbage bins, and after an hour of investigation by more than 30 police officers, they finally found the place where the food was sold, which was a large shopping mall near the hotel. According to a clerk on the fourth floor of the mall, a young man in a hat bought the items, as well as clocks, wires, duct tape, and a large trolley case, and took the elevator away.

Bai Jingyu said: "Clocks, wires, and tapes are used to make time bombs, and that big trolley box means that they are going to go far away." ”

Zhou Xingxing said: "Gao Fei took the elevator to leave the mall, and the mall should have surveillance video. ”

Soon took the surveillance video of the elevator in the mall, and sure enough, Gao Fei was seen in the video, he took the elevator to leave the hotel, and when the elevator door was about to open, he took out a piece of paper and looked at it, and then put it back in his pocket. Through technical means, the piece of paper in the video was magnified 10,000 times, and then the picture was processed clearly, and an identification conclusion was drawn - it was a ticket. However, the handwriting on the ticket is blurred, and the first-class domestic experts and railway station conductors cannot clearly see where the ticket is from.

Peng Changtong modified the will, Man Hua modified the signature of the IOU, Cheng Ruoqian modified the date of birth on his son's household register, in a variety of crimes, often involving the identification of handwriting, the police will use some high-tech analytical instruments, such as a thin-layer scanner can detect the difference in the writing time of the handwriting, VSC-2000 document detector can identify whether the handwriting has been altered, and the electrostatic voltage mark indicator is currently a better instrument for displaying indentation handwriting.

Zhou Xingxing looked at the laser detection analyzer in a daze, thinking carefully about something, the identification expert was doing spectral analysis and color comparison, and suddenly, Zhou Xingxing shouted: "Don't move." ”

He turned the picture of the analyzer upside down, and people saw that the ticket on the screen showed two words: Lu Ming.

Bai Jingyu immediately notified the Luming County police and strictly controlled the railway station. Zhou Xingxing checked the train timetable, and the train will arrive in Luming at 8 p.m. At this moment, Gao Fei, Brother Thumb, and Ding Busi were already on the train.

Zhou Xingxing asked: "How can I get there as quickly as possible?" ”

Bai Jingyu said: "Airplane." ”

"We should ask for air support," Zhou said. ”

Bai Jingyu looked at him: "Leave this to the Luming police, they have already laid a net at the station, and they can't escape." ”

Zhou Xingxing said: "I want to catch them personally." ”

Bai Jingyu said, "Okay. ”

At 7:30 p.m., a camouflage helicopter landed in a wheat field near the Luming Railway Station, Zhou Xingxing got off the helicopter and quickly ran to the railway station, where more than a dozen police cars were parked at the exit of the station, and more than 40 heavily armed policemen were waiting for them, and it seemed that the local police had mobilized all their police force. The director of the Luming County Public Security Bureau used the walkie-talkie to emphasize to everyone again:

"Everyone keep their eyes open, the train is about to arrive, and there are three people on the other side, a young man, an old man, and the other is very recognizable, a dwarf."

Zhou Xingxing walked over and explained his identity, and the director of the public security bureau introduced to him that there were 20 plainclothes policemen on the platform, and there were very many people in the waiting hall, and only 10 police officers were arranged, and their 40 main police forces were ambushed at the exit gate, and they chose to arrest them at the exit gate.

Zhou Xingxing said to the director of the Luming County Public Security Bureau: "Then I'll go to the hall and wait." ”

He took a few steps and turned back and said, "They also have a trolley case, the red one, and the dwarf is probably hiding in the trolley case." ”

Later, it turned out that Zhou Xingxing's reasoning was completely correct, Brother Thumb got out of the car, pulled the box out of the exit, and when he was about to get into the taxi, the police arrested him, opened the trolley box, and Ding Busi really hid inside.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, the train arrived at the station, and the people in the hall rushed up and crowded over. Some held signs to pick up people, and some shouted other people's names loudly, and the scene was noisy and chaotic, and the voices were boiling. Because it is the terminal station, there are a lot of passengers getting off the train, and they are shoulder to shoulder. Zhou Xingxing paid close attention to everyone, in the tide of people, walked past a woman wearing a scarf and a hat, Zhou Xingxing felt that her appearance was strange, his mind flashed like a movie to play the tickets, trolley boxes, food packaging bags, remembering the few long hairs found in the hotel room, his heart suddenly chuckled - the long hair was probably falling from the wig.

Zhou Xingxing shouted loudly: "Stop! ”

The woman didn't seem to hear and quickened her pace. Zhou Xingxing caught up and grabbed her hair in one fell swoop. As expected, it is indeed wearing a wig, and this man dressed as a woman is Goofy!

Gao Fei took advantage of the situation to get rid of Zhou Xingxing, and ten plainclothes policemen in the hall chased after him, they took out their guns, and people didn't know what was going on, so they fled in panic and crowded together. Goofy grabbed a child and put a gun to the child's head and told the police, don't come. As he spoke, he stepped back into the corner. The police quickly formed a fan-shaped encirclement and approached step by step.

Zhou Xingxing said: "Let him go!" ”

Goofy said, "Why don't you let me go?" ”

The child was so frightened that he couldn't speak, he was wearing a school uniform and looked like a middle school student. After a while, the child's parents crowded through the crowd and immediately burst into tears when they saw this scene. Then, the parents knelt down to Goofy and begged him to spare the child with tears in their eyes.

Zhou Xingxing said: "You can't run." ”

Goofy said, "Then I'll find a companion." ”

Zhou Xingxing said: "In this way, I will make an exchange with this child, you let him go, and I will be your hostage." ”

Goofy said: "You can consider it. ”

Zhou Xingxing said: "You also have parents, if you still have a little conscience, you can agree." ”

Goofy said, "I didn't, I grew up in prison. ”

Zhou Xingxing said: "I didn't either, I grew up in the police station. ”

Goofy said, "Okay. ”

Gao Fei asked Zhou Xingxing to turn around, raise his hands, and slowly retreat, when Zhou Xingxing retreated to Gao Fei's side, Gao Fei suddenly strangled his neck in the back and pressed the muzzle of the gun against his chest. The child was so frightened that he fled. Gao Fei asked Zhou Xingxing how he found him, and Zhou Xingxing briefly explained the process. Gao Fei laughed and praised Zhou Xingxing for being very smart. The Luming police reported to Bai Jingyu, and Bai Jingyu gave an order to the Luming police on the phone to ensure Zhou Xingxing's personal safety, and the Luming police did not dare to attack rashly, and the scene was deadlocked.

Goofy said, "We were supposed to be friends. ”

Zhou Xingxing said: "Now they are friends. ”

After finishing speaking, Zhou Xingxing suddenly pressed Gao Fei's hand.

Gao Fei thought he wanted to snatch the pistol, but he didn't expect Zhou Xingxing to pull the trigger.

The bullet pierced Zhou Xingxing's heart and also shot into Gao Fei's chest.

Two men fell.

In the process of falling, Zhou Xingxing felt that his surroundings were quiet, and he could no longer hear any sound. He saw the sky, and he remembered that when he was a child, when he was about 8 years old, he sat alone by the river, melancholy throwing pebbles, and after so many years, they fell to the ground.
