Tong Lie returned to the police station in the west district of the city, and his apprentice Zhang Fan greeted him

"Master, what are these guys going to do?"

"Is the transcript made? How's the situation going? ”

"Well, here's the case, that piece of land was recently auctioned by the Luhai Group. This is called Li Dai, a business negotiator under the name of Luhai Real Estate Company, who is responsible for negotiating demolition subsidies and other related matters. However, these bastards kept the demolition money a little low. The surrounding boss's surname is not happy, so under the organization of a resident representative named Liu Yongde, he wants to explain to the real estate company. As he spoke, the people on both sides confronted each other, but fortunately, they didn't make a move, and there was no hurt. So ......"

"I know, we can't control the demolition issue. Call the report to the superior, and let the leader communicate with the Luhai Group. As for these guys, lock them up for another two hours and let them go, yes! No food! Teach them a lesson. Tong Lie looked at his watch and said.

"Gotcha!" Zhang Fan knew that today's incident did not cause a vicious ...... incident, there is no reason to convict these bastards, they can only ask and interrogate routinely, and then deliberately do not provide dinner, starve them, and deserve punishment.

Tong Lie glanced at Li Dai and the others, who were sitting on a flat stool, and ignored them anymore, and went straight back to his office.

He closed the door, pushed open the window, lit a cigarette and took a deep breath, his fingers tapping on the window frame, remembering the back he had seen in the evening.

"Jiang You?" He said to himself, lost in his memories......

Tong Lie first met Jiang You on Christmas Eve two years ago, when a huge billboard on the roof of Xicheng Shopping Mall accidentally fell, causing a serious accident in which 2 people died and 4 were injured. At that time, he was still the deputy captain of the criminal investigation brigade and was patrolling the neighborhood. After receiving the alarm, I rushed over as soon as possible.

When he arrived at the scene, the billboard on the ground had been lifted by the surrounding pedestrians and traffic police. He pulled away from the crowd, and the first thing he saw was Jiang You kneeling on the ground wearing a black windbreaker. In his arms was a woman who seemed to have no signs of life. The woman had been hit directly in the head, and her flesh was already blurred with blood, and her face could not be seen clearly.

Jiang You held her head in his arms, and the chest of her white shirt was already red. He looked down and sobbed, trembling all over. Suddenly, unable to suppress the sorrow in his heart, he turned his back to the sky and began to cry...... The terrible cry made everyone around them gloomy, and some soft-hearted bystanders had already covered their mouths and burst into tears. Even Tong Lie, who was accustomed to seeing this kind of scene, couldn't help but feel compassion.

The investigation into this major accident began at a rapid pace in the following days. Also hit by the chairman of Huajian Group, he finally died due to ineffective rescue. Baigang City attached great importance to the accident and immediately organized the criminal investigation brigade of the city's western district police station and the city's police headquarters to set up a special investigation team in conjunction with relevant departments. As the deputy team leader, Tong Lie participated in and led the investigation and evidence collection.

The context of the case soon became clear, and the billboard had been installed the day before the incident. The accident occurred due to the fact that the advertising company used a problematic inferior frame material and had a problem with the load-bearing. Although the head of the advertising agency firmly denied the purchase of inferior materials. However, in the investigation of the financial transactions between the advertising company and the private bank accounts of the relevant responsible persons, the task force found that there were repeated abnormal business fund transactions between the advertising company and Ji Dongshun, the general manager of Dongshun Trading Co., Ltd., a provider of framework materials, that is, receiving kickbacks. Therefore, the legal person of the advertising company, the purchaser and the purchasing supervisor, as the relevant responsible persons, were all controlled by the police at the first time.

When the police investigated Tung Soon Trading Company next, they found that the company's general manager had absconded. All cash from the company's account and his private account had been withdrawn the day before the incident. On the one hand, the police approved the arrest of Ji Dongshun, and on the other hand, they reported the results of the investigation of the case in the city. The city characterized the case as an accident, and Ji Dongshun was designated as the first person responsible for the accident, and a national wanted warrant was issued for him. Corresponding criminal and civil penalties were imposed on the legal person of the company to which the billboard belongs, other persons involved in the case, and relevant management units. Soon after, the case was closed.

Two weeks after the case was closed, Tong Lie met Jiang You again at the Shixi District Police Station, and it was Jiang You who found him to be exact.

The man expressed his displeasure with the closure of the case and was convinced that it was not an accident.

For the family members of the parties who are obsessed, Tong Lie is not uncommon in his police career. In the past, he would let his men deal with it. But when Jiang You found him, watching the other party walk towards him, Tong Lie narrowed his eyes and saw that this man was different.

After suffering the blow of his lover's accidental death, he obviously didn't rest well, but except for the untrimmed hair and dark circles under his eyes, there was no trace of decadence in him. The man was still straight at the waist and his stride was steady and powerful. Tong Lie could see from his slow walking momentum that he must have been born in the army. And it is not an ordinary soldier, but a special professional soldier who is very effective and dangerous.

Looking at Jiang You's sad but firm eyes, Tong Lie didn't want to be perfunctory. But at that time, he was so anxious by a skinning serial murder case that he didn't have time or mind to listen to the other party, so he could only interrupt the other party's narration, accept a brown paper document bag he provided, hurriedly say goodbye, and rush to the scene of the serial murder case......

In the following two years, there were major cases in Baigang City, such as the skinning murder case, the Baigang commercial bank robbery, and large-scale anti-smuggling operations, so that Tong Lie, who was on the front line of the struggle against crime, had no time to take care of this old "accident". However, although these cases have been successfully solved, there are some details and doubts in them. It seemed to be intertwined into a fog, making him feel that behind these cases, there seemed to be one or several obscure and mysterious forces that were interrelated with them......

After standing by the window and smoking a cigarette, Tong Lie retracted his thoughts and returned to his desk to sit down. He pulled out a worn-out brown paper document bag from a drawer and began to look through its contents.

The police have a police process, and for cases that have been closed, he cannot overturn the case if the evidence is insufficient. It is impossible for him to cooperate with an ordinary citizen or the victim's family to investigate the case privately, let alone use too many resources in the bureau to investigate. So at that time, he ruthlessly refused Jiang You's subsequent visits.

But he didn't really give up the investigation into this "accident", and he kept the information provided by Jiang You. Although he has no time to take care of it over the years, he will think about and pay attention to clues related to the case when he has time, but in the process, the clues are always intermittent and seemingly nonexistent. It is as if the road to the truth is the same as the fog that is intertwined with other cases and difficult to get rid of......

But all this is just a feeling on his part, and so far no key evidence has been found to tie it together.

A bar street in the city center.

Jiang You parked his old Land Wind X9 SUV in front of a bar. Instead of getting out of the car, he closed all the windows and began to close his eyes, and the sound of loud music in the bar could be heard faintly. There was a microradio station in the car, which was still receiving the radio signal from the police communication system.

"Jiang You...... Jiangyou ......"

Ning Yuan stood on the side of the street on a snowy night and waved at him.

He stood on the corner, put down the phone in his ear and turned his head. He saw Ning Yuan happily running towards him, and two steps away from her, there was a middle-aged man with a big back standing at the intersection, holding a cheap small mobile phone, talking to someone on the phone. He looked a little nervous, and he kept looking left and right.

Suddenly, a large billboard fell from the sky. In an instant, Ning Yuan and the middle-aged man were buried underneath. At this moment, Jiang You's world seemed to have been pressed the pause button! It's all frozen! His mind went blank and buzzed.

Several women's screams rang out all around him, pulling him back from his distraction. He felt his feet feel as heavy as lead, and no matter how hard he tried to rush forward, he was like a trapped beast in a swamp. All he could do was stagger, staggering towards the ruins of the billboard.

As he was struggling to walk, suddenly, a tiny red light flashed in his eyes, and he looked in that direction in a trance. He saw that across the street in front of him, there seemed to be a black figure on the roof of a seven- or eight-story commercial building, and the black figure was motionless, as if he was indifferently watching everything that was happening below.

Jiang You didn't care about the black shadow anymore, he was like a leopard gradually coming out of the swamp, moving faster and faster, and getting closer and closer to the billboard that was smashed down, for him, the distance of dozens of meters was like dozens of kilometers, and the time of tens of seconds was like decades.

He rushed to the ruins of the billboard, and all he could see was Ning Yuan's feet that were crushed by a huge steel beam, and the rest of her body was buried in the ruins of the broken materials of the billboard. He hesitated for a few seconds, then went crazy and frantically lifted the steel beam. The heavy billboard could not be lifted by a person at all, but he ignored it.

At first, the billboard didn't move, but then it actually made a "crunch...... There was a screeching sound and a slight shaking.

At the time of the incident, most of the pedestrians around were standing on the spot, and after a few seconds, some people started screaming, some people started backing away, and some people took out their phones and started calling the police...... When Jiang You was crazy and carried the billboard, the people around him had not yet woken up from the shock. But as the billboard shook, the distracted people around them began to wake up.

A middle-aged man with his family handed the shopping bag in his hand to his wife, who was covering the child's eyes, and stepped forward to help. Immediately after, a cleaner rushed to help, followed by a young man with a school bag...... After that, more and more well-wishers joined the team to help.

"One! Two! Three! ”

"One! Two! Three! ”

Everyone spoke in unison and worked together. With the help of more and more people. The billboard was slowly raised, and at this time, two bold young men rushed in and dragged Ning Yuan, who was lying on the ground, and the middle-aged man who was hit not far away.

Jiang You on the side wanted to hug Ning Yuan, but the weight in his hand made him dare not let go. He could only watch anxiously as she was dragged to safety little by little.

At this moment, he saw a man in a hoodie, mixed among several people who rescued people, come to the middle-aged man who was also hit. He seemed to bend down to pick up something, then stepped back in a fake way, then quickly turned around and disappeared into the crowd......

The back of the departing man was tall and strong, like a mountain......
