When the dark night of the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month came, Zhang Zhengyi sat in his office, silently thinking about the "disappearance of Ning Yuanfu"——

Early in the morning of the nineteenth, the old classmate "asked for help". He is keenly aware that the loss of contact with young adults is not a trivial matter, it is not simple!

Immediately, he activated the preliminary investigation mechanism of the homicide detective, and instructed the Criminal University and the Beifu Institute to assign special personnel to start the search?

Unexpectedly, Wang Qing's murder and Wang Shunli's suicide occurred one after another, delaying the process of "finding someone".

After many days of detectives, a lot of information about Ning Yuanfu was collected—

physical characteristics, family status, personal habits, social relationships, permanent residence, temporary residence, activity trajectory before disappearance, vehicle trajectory after disappearance; Relationships between men and women, some gambling debts, etc.

But there is not the slightest clue that can determine Ning's whereabouts, even if it is a corpse?

He had to face a bad judgment:

This suspected "debt evasion-loss of contact" incident has a great possibility of "disappearance-homicide"!

Tonight is the 7th day since the police were called. Based on previous experience:

In the event of any homicide, it is good luck to catch the perpetrator on the spot; Solving the battle within 1 day is lucky; 3 days - Zhongyun; After seven days, it will be more difficult.

In the morning, Cheng Yong reported the results of his contact with Liu Guanglan, and found nothing suspicious, confirming that Ning Yuanfu asked her for a debt and took 5,000 yuan at about 9 o'clock on the night of the 6th. Yang Zhijin reported in frustration in the afternoon that the progress of the car chase in East Lake was not ideal.

Chunguang and Yutong went to Arrow Mountain, but brought back some new information, after leopard tracking, suspected of the Yin brothers' horses, but could not confirm that the "red jacket man" was one of the four horses.

He was confident that the whole detective's thinking, deployment, and push—were correct, and even said—the gains were not small; We are looking forward to a substantial breakthrough today. But the cold reality is that it seems infinitely close to the truth, and the mystery is within reach; In fact, this is not the case, and the single missing police situation is evolving into a complex case of "homicide + gambling"...

Zhang Zhengyi stood up, pushed away the chair, paced back and forth in the office, rubbed his hands from time to time, sat back in his seat for a while, lit a cigarette and continued to think:

What's next? He had to think clearly.

As the supreme commander of the task force, if he has no ideas, the elite soldiers and strong generals participating in the battle will become a leaderless group of dragons and headless flies.

The van will definitely continue to chase. Yang Zhijin and others are in East Lake, so they can rest assured.

The whereabouts and identities of Hapusang and the four people in the car must be clarified. There are all kinds of indications that this group of horses and Ning Laizi's disappearance "should" be related.

Behind Ma Zai is Du Sanyuan; Du's boss is the Yin brothers. If Ning Yuanfu was killed that night, several horses and the main messengers behind the scenes would not be able to get out of it.

It is a big game of chess to wipe out all the suspects involved in the case and eliminate the gossip hotel and casino......

Suddenly, the phone on the desk rang—

Justice picked it up and took a look, is it "Director Yao"?

"Zhang Ju, come to my office." Yao Dongliang said tepidly on the phone:

As the leader of the Tongxi Police Department, he has a very complicated police work at hand. After listening to the report of "Ning Yuanfu's missing case" last time, he has not received any news of whether anyone has been found or not, and seeing that the New Year is approaching, he decided to take the initiative to care about it.

Yao Dongliang is a veteran criminal investigator, who worked as an investigator, captain of the criminal police brigade, deputy director in charge of criminal investigation, and political commissar in the Nanyi Police Bureau, and was later transferred to Tongxi County as the director. When he was the captain, he often corresponded with Niu Meng and Zhang Zhengyi and had a good relationship.

At the beginning of his new tenure, he adjusted Niu Meng to the deputy director in charge of public security, and put the overall investigation and solving of the case mainly on Zhang Zhengyi's shoulders. Justice lives up to the trust, works hard, and solves major cases repeatedly...

"Yao Ju, what are your instructions?" Zhang Zhengyi knocked on the door and came in and asked, keeping the humility of his deputy.

"Justice-sit, they're all old brothers, don't always be so polite. Let's talk casually—" Yao Ju said, throwing over a telephone pole.

He could see that the right-hand man had a haggard face, but he was still in good spirits—his eyes were shining!

Justice lights a cigarette, and the heart says:

"If you have time to chat, you must ask 'Ning Laizi'. Rather than wait for you to ask, I'll take the initiative—"

So, he explained the latest progress of Ning Yuanfu's disappearance case to the Yao Bureau in 1510...

Justice, for help:

"You are a criminal investigation expert, I wanted to see that you are free, please go to the task force for guidance. Have time tomorrow morning? ”

Yao Dongliang smiled and said:

"How can I be regarded as a criminal investigation expert, since I became a political commissar, I have forgotten and lost a little 'old inventory', and I have long been outdated.

In the past few years, it has all depended on you and the brothers in the brigade to solve the case. Justice, you tell the brothers that the logistics are mine, and if there is any difficulty in transferring people and spending money, just mention it.

I just want 'results'! Excellent dry land, I celebrate you-"

Yao Ju is quick to talk, and for Zhang Zhengyi, who is anxious, it is like sending charcoal in the snow-

He just envisioned that the next "big chess" must be fully supported by Yao, including organization, police force, vehicles, financial support, and so on.

At this time, Niu Meng walked in and said with a smile:

"I'm on duty for Bureau Li (Li Yaohong, deputy director in charge of traffic management) tonight, why are you here?"

"The bull game came just in time! I am reporting to the Yao Bureau about 'Ning Laizi', you have been to the task force yesterday, and you are familiar with the situation before. Just discuss together? Zhang Zhengyi said happily.

"Van—found?" Niu Meng asked.

"No—I found the car, and I led the team to East Lake." Righteous head twisted and said:

"Now there is a 'new situation': Du Sanyuan of the Bagua Hotel on the night of the 6th sent a few horses into the city; today's video tracking found that the time and area where the horse boy disappeared by car happened to be very close to the time and area where Ning Yuanfu last appeared..."

"To put it simply, Justice suspects that the gang of horses kidnapped the surnamed Ning, and for some reason, killed him." Yao Ju interjected.

"Like this..."Niu Meng thought for a while:

"I propose to set up a joint task force to put the 'missing case' and the 'gambling-related case' together as detectives? It would be nice if Yaohong was in-, he was familiar with Arrow Mountain and the Bagua Hotel. (Li Yaohong in the clumsy work "Confucian Exploration of Qingyi", then the head of the Jianshan Police Station, has a good performance)

"......" Zhang Zhengyi didn't immediately echo and looked at the leader?

"I agreed to set up a college task force, and I was the team leader. There are two task forces, and the justice of the first group of the special case is responsible for the disappearance of Ning Yuanfu; You are in charge of 2 groups, specializing in gossip hotel gambling cases. Leaders of other bureaus will not participate for the time being. Yao Dongliang took notes as he spoke, and then reminded:

"Niu Meng, members of Group 2 - you pick from the overall situation, and you must avoid those who have anything to do with the Yin brothers, Du Sanyuan and others. A group of police forces have been dispatched in the early stage of justice, so let's divide them again? If you really can't do it, please send someone from the city bureau. ”

"The last time Wang Zhi came, I talked to him about the many difficulties in the investigation of the case, and he promised to report it to Xue Zhi in person. He hasn't called in the past few days, and I haven't bothered to contact him..."Zhang Zhengyi said with burning eyes:

"Now that we're ready to take it all in, I'm going to go back and report directly to Xue Zhi - asking for help?"

"I thought about it, there are very few people in the bureau who can still be transferred to the project. The background of the Yin brothers is very complicated, especially the eldest Yin Huairen, who has 'two money' and has a wide range of contacts in society.

As soon as they move, there must be someone to greet and intercede; Even if the interests of some people are involved, will the handling of the case be obstructed openly and covertly? If the criminal investigation detachment directly sends people to command and participate in the battle, the chances of successfully concluding the case will be much greater. Niu Meng pinched the tiger's mouth and said.

"Let's discuss and discuss specifically, come up with a plan? If necessary - I'll go to the city bureau to find the money bureau and report! Director Yao immediately stated:

He has realized the seriousness of the case, and this kind of pressure to handle the case is by no means something that the two deputies can bear.
