Suxi Province is located in the lower reaches of the Great River Plain, bordering Canghai in the east, Lunan in the north, Shanghai and Zhejiang in the south, and Jiangnan in the west. Historical changes have brought about a prosperous maritime and industrial boom in the southeast of western Jiangsu, and the northwest has changed little, but the transportation network has taken shape and extends in all directions.

"As soon as I entered Susie, the road was flat - it was twice as wide! The snow shovels are clean, and the mountain beams are separated – why is the difference so big? "The terracotta artillery was driving and nagging.

"It's not just the roads, it's the greenery. On the side of the highway on our side, there are bamboos and dwarf cypresses - tall and short, and there is no section of it. If you look at the houses, the roadside greenery is neatly organized, either tall trees, medium shrubs, or lawns close to the ground – all planned. Alas-we don't know when we'll be able to catch up..."Lin Chenxiao acquiesced, very envious.

Outside the closed car window, on the bare branches of trees, there is a slip of snow; Half-human tall bushes draped in thick snowflakes; Even the floor is covered with silver carpets – a sight of its own!

Liu Zongwei closed his eyes slightly and didn't make a sound-

Last night's case analysis meeting ended too late, and it was only four hours before the departure this morning. His eyes were dry and astringent, as if they had been roasted by a fire. Uncomfortable eyes are one thing, small emotions in the heart - not yet calmed?

He originally thought that after returning from Eagle Mountain, as long as Sun Suo didn't call in the past two days, he wouldn't have to go on a business trip, and he could go out early and return late and reunite at home for the New Year.

Who would have thought that according to Zhang Ju and Xue Zhi's suggestion:

It is necessary to pay close attention to a thorough investigation of Wang's smooth social relations and find out who the "brother" on the suicide note is as soon as possible?

Cheng Da decided to send a detective team to Wang Shunli's hometown, Huairen Town, Guhuai County, Suxi Province, to investigate Wang's contacts and contacts on the periphery.

The best candidate for leading the team was finalized on the spot, and he "Liu Zongwei" went!

In normal times, a business trip is a trivial matter for him, but when Chinese New Year's Eve is approaching, he feels - heart congestion:

Dispatching police, visiting, arresting, interrogating, detaining people, staying up late, going on business trips, coming and going in the wind and rain, irregular work and rest, and unfinished cases are his normal state over the years. In his heart, he has too little time left for his family.

His wife is a teacher, and while she is busy teaching, she silently supports the family and rarely complains in his ear. Occasionally, a sentence pops up - "The unit is missing you - take a turn, the family is without you... What to do? It can be regarded as the venting of dissatisfaction at the top.

He wanted to explain, but how could his wife feel the sudden weight and urgency of such a big case? He only had the analogy to comfort:

"There are a lot of things, the brothers are working overtime, and I'm the inspector - if you don't talk about doing too much, you can't always 'desert', right? The teacher doesn't like the deserted students, and doesn't the leader appreciate the deserted subordinates? You don't want your husband to be looked down upon, do you? Safety - I'll be careful, I'm going to grow old with you! ”

He was in a serious car accident yesterday morning, and he didn't dare to tell his wife. After returning to the brigade, he just made a phone call and said, "I'm back from a business trip, and I have a meeting - I don't know what time it will be busy"; The wife said happily:

"It's good to be back! It's snowing heavily - I'm worried you're stuck outside. The things at home for the New Year are ready, you are busy with yours - you can 'reunite the New Year'! ”

The year is busy, and "going home for the New Year" is the top priority for most people, and it is also a small thing that can be done. But for Liu Zongwei, who rushed to Guhuai County, he had this thought, but he didn't have this confidence. He even suspected that it would blow his wife's expectations...

"Inspector Liu, you kept silent all the way. Should we go to the Guhuai County Criminal Investigation Brigade, or go directly to the local police station? It's almost there—" asked the soldiers and horses sullenly:

He wanted to drive directly to the "police station" to save some time and finish his work sooner - to return early. Tomorrow is the New Year, and there are a lot of things at home - waiting for him.

He didn't want to pick up this trip, but the task force was just him and the "second senior brother" two drivers. The second senior brother Lao Zhu is the royal driver of Zhang Ju, who is a cut older than him, and told him during the heart-to-heart conversation:

"On the fifth day of the first month of next year, my old father will celebrate his 70th birthday, and he is in the task force every day, and he has no time to prepare... Alas—"

His difficulties are similar to Lao Zhu's, his son has a "tenth birthday" on the seventh day of the first lunar month, and wants to take advantage of the Spring Festival when relatives and friends have time to gather and be lively? This family event, he has already "promised" his elderly grandfather that it must be done beautifully!

But now, it has snowed so heavily, and he hasn't sat down with his wife to discuss:

Who should I invite? How many tables are there to prepare? Do you go to the hotel to do it, or do you ask someone to burn it at home? Go to the restaurant - make a reservation, cook at home - prepare the menu in advance, buy groceries...

"According to the usual practice, go to the 'big punishment'." Liu Zongwei opened his eyes - sat upright, and said in his heart:

"You are sick Ma Wen is a veteran driver of the police force, this still needs to be asked? When you go to a detective in a foreign place, without the cooperation of the local criminal investigation team, you can say that it is difficult to move an inch'!

If it is a direct arrest, asking the police station to assist is one of the ways, but it is difficult to ensure the success rate of arrest in some places?

This time it was Wang Shunli's peripheral investigation, and it was the best way to find Gu Huai Criminal University, which contacted the Huairen Police Station for help. Even if you can't find valuable clues, you won't be startled...".

When he thought of this, he told Lin Chenxiao and Ma Bin:

"You two have to remember: we are here to 'play the front station', mainly to touch the king's smooth relation? Facts of the case - I'll talk about it. As for the fact that Wang Shunli has committed suicide - let's not mention it for now. ”

"Good. I'm here to carry the inspector's bag. Da Linzi said with a hippie smile.

"You leaders do the work, and I don't participate... I'm always going to 'sleep' in the car, right? "The soldiers and horses said with a black face:

"It's better to be back early in the afternoon - what the hell it's like!"

He felt that Liu Zongwei was too cautious, and he was "taking off his pants and farting - this is an extra move", which was clearly not at ease with him, and he was afraid that he would talk too much. He was familiar, but the mistake of "leaking" - never made.

"I'll go back when I'm done touching the situation. Strive to be able to go home for the 'New Year'..."Inspector Liu looked at the more and more buildings in front of him and said abruptly.

Before leaving, he consulted Cheng Da-

Inform the Guhuai police about the situation of "Wang Shunli's involvement in the case", how to grasp the scale? Is it to kill Wang Qing - and then commit suicide, and is he also suspected of murdering Ning Yuanfu - all of it? Or do you say half and leave half?

Cheng Yong frowned and pondered for a while before he made a clear decision:

Only the case of "Wang Shunli suspected of intentional homicide (Wang Qing)" was reported, and other information was not mentioned for the time being.

There are two reasons for this—

First, "Wang Shunli's suicide" is not an ordinary unnatural death, he committed suicide after killing Wang Qing, and he is a suspect in Wang Qing's murder. The real cause of Wang Shunli's death must wait until the results of multiple tests such as poisoning and pathology come out before the final conclusion can be made. It is not appropriate to make it public, even to the fraternal police.

The second is out of the consideration of the detective "Ning Yuanfu's disappearance case". Usually, when the local criminal university cooperates with foreign work, it will contact the police station where the target is located, and the police station will usually ask village cadres or acquaintances about it. These intermediaries and insiders are in an "uncontrollable" state, and there is a greater risk of "leaking secrets", which cannot be ruled out as alarming another hidden suspect. For the sake of prudence, not to mention that Wang Shunli is still responsible for the hidden case.

From another point of view, "the king's smooth death" is an indulgence of lust and a deserved crime. But the New Year is approaching, what a heartache this death will be for his parents...

At about 10 o'clock in the morning of the 28th of the lunar month, the Guhuai County Criminal Investigation Brigade. Liu Zongwei and his entourage were lucky, just in time for the Han Brigade to be on duty. Inspector Liu explained the intention—

A man named "Wang Shunli" in Liuli Village, Huairen Town, is doing business in Chengguan Town, Tongxi County, and is suspected of a homicide case? Ask the brigade for help – investigate his daily behavior, family situation, social interactions, etc., the more detailed the better? The premise is that he can't alarm his relation, and he must understand it "from the side"?

The Han Brigade immediately expressed its full support and implementation as soon as possible!
