Fang Bo hummed pop songs happily, and swayed back to Qinglin Lane.

It's dusk, and the setting sun paints this secluded old Japanese town in a soft shade of gold. From a distance, the roofs of the buildings with different shapes, and the tall and vigorous old acacia pines and cypresses, build a historical microcosm that no longer belongs to this era. There are also those red, yellow, white, and pink roses, and green vines with green leaves, which from time to time are unwilling to be lonely over the wall, covering half of the wall like loyal guards. All this makes people feel that there is a kind of tranquility and harmony here that is not easy to be broken, compared with the area not far away that is crowded with modern civilization and luxury, what you find here is not only a feeling of seclusion, but also can make people enjoy the quiet, somewhat quaint scenery.

The little unpleasantness in the contact with Cao Ling just now disappeared with the fresh feeling of re-entering this alley. Fang Bo soon came to the door of Cao's house, he sorted out his mood, and thought of a lot of reasons for him to talk to the family. But there is one point, he didn't come to guarantee the ticket with Zhu Feng just now. The reason why he was returning at this time was because he felt that he was more than capable of allaying the family's concerns. However, at this time, he saw a man's back flash into the door of Cao's house. Judging from the body shape, it doesn't look like Gao Jian who came just now.

Could it be that Cao Ling really has a boyfriend? Fang Bo thought like this, feeling that it was a bit inappropriate to disturb others at this moment. He was just about to turn around and leave, when a man's rough voice came from the house: "Our boss wants to invite Miss Cao to talk." ”

"What to talk about? What is there to talk about. Cao Ling's angry voice.

"What to talk about, how to talk about it, that's our boss's business, I'm only responsible for taking you away."

"What if I don't go?"

"I think it's better for everyone to cooperate a little bit, and it's not good for anyone to make things stiff. In the past few years, you have been abroad, and our boss has not treated your grandmother and mother well. You can ask them, are we embarrassed about them? ”

"Humph! I have to thank you for taking care of my family. ”

"It's not about taking care of you, but it's true that you're safe."

"Since you said that everything is fine, then don't come and harass us again. My grandmother is very old, my mother is depressed, I have just returned from abroad, and I don't know what kind of trouble a family like ours will cause to your company, so you are so miserable. ”

"Are you really not going?"

"Joke, why did you let me go? Why should I go with you? ”

Fang Bo heard a woman's scream, and the sound of something shattering. He lunged in.

"Stop!"

Fang Bo's sudden appearance shocked everyone in the room. The dark-skinned, rough-looking middle-aged man kept looking the young man up and down, and a contemptuous smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He turned his face to Li Guiying, "I remember that the people who live in this alley are not so uninteresting. ”

"I remember well, this is the first time I've entered this alley today."

Fang Bo glanced at the broken blue and white porcelain vase on the ground and He Ziqin, who was bleeding on his head, and reprimanded sharply: "Scoundrel, how can you bully three old and weak women like this? ”

"Doesn't think you're in charge of this business?"

"Isn't it true that a scoundrel like you has ruined the social atmosphere by ignoring idle things?"

"I think you kid is underwhelmed!" Before the words fell, another blue and white porcelain vase on the table had already flown towards Fang Bo.

Fang Bo sneered, stretched out his hand, and caught the vase steadily. "Villain, if what I said is right, this vase should be the dowry of this grandmother back then, but you can smash it if you want."

"You're looking for death!" The black man roared angrily and pounced with his fist.

Fang Bo's body flashed lightly, and when the black man was about to miss his chest, he smashed down with a punch, followed by another kick, this guy staggered a few steps, and lay firmly on the bluestone slab outside the door.

He howled, got up from the ground with cracked teeth, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his hand, and pounced like mad.

Before he could get to him, Fang Bo put him on the ground with three punches and two kicks. This time, the black man didn't dare to resist again, and he got up and fled as if he was dead.

Fang Bo and Cao Ling accompanied He Ziqin to the hospital to bandage the wound. When they came back from the hospital, the old man Li Guiying had already made dinner. But no matter how the Cao family tried to keep it, Fang Bo refused to stay and eat. There was no way, Cao Ling had to send him out.

When he arrived at the gate of the hospital, Fang Bo stopped, turned back to Cao Ling and said, "Don't send it, go back to eat, Auntie and Grandma are still waiting." ”

"Thank you, if it wasn't for you......"

"No thanks, that's what we should do."

Fang Bo wanted to leave, but Cao Ling said, "Why don't you ask why that villain threatens us?" ”

Fang Bo looked up at the sky, the stars had already come out, and a crescent moon hung on the edge of the sky.

"I know the evidence is important to your case......"

Fang Bo turned his head to stare at the Japanese-style buildings shrouded in night, somewhat like ancient castles.

"Officer Fang, I'm talking to you."

Fang Bo turned his face to look at the girl who had just returned from a foreign country, he had to admit that she was very temperamental and beautiful.

"What ...... I heard?"

"But you should always say what you think."

"What do you want to hear me say? What do you want me to say? It is useless for you to say that those great truths are not even guaranteed, and you cannot even guarantee the safety of your own lives. I know that you must have the evidence of their guilt in your hands, and if you tell the truth, you are afraid that there will be a threat to your life, but if you don't say it, this threat still exists. Rather than compromise, it is better to fight. You are a person who has stayed abroad, and you should always be more open-minded than your aunt and grandmother. ”

After saying that, Fang Bo walked out, but after taking two steps, he stopped again, and said without looking back: "I really don't know about today's incident. ”

Cao Ling pursed her lips and smiled, "You came back to explain this?" ”

"That's one of the reasons. But the main thing is to do your work again. ”

"Then I'll tell you, it's impossible for me and that alumnus in the United States."

"I don't think there's anything wrong with him." Speaking, Fang

Bo glanced at Cao Ling again.

"Because...... There's a reason anyway. ”

Cao Ling wanted to say that it was the son of her enemy, but that would be tantamount to telling Fang Bo that their family did have the evidence of the Longteng Group Company. It's not that she doesn't want to cooperate with the police, it's that she can't get through her mother's mental concerns.

Fang Bo didn't want to talk to her about it anymore, but he had already understood the girl's explanation about her boyfriend just now. Somehow, he suddenly felt an inexplicable pleasure and excitement in his heart. It was at this moment that he made a bold decision to take responsibility for protecting the family.

Out of the courtyard gate of Cao's house, he stepped into the courtyard next to him. Here, he rented a temporary house of more than ten square meters. He also saw a wild advertisement for rent when he entered the alley just now, and considering the safety of the Cao family at night, he temporarily decided to rent this house. Although the house is smaller, its back window is facing the courtyard of the Cao family. If something happened to the Cao family at night, he could push the window and jump into their yard. This young man, don't look at his short time as a police officer, he thinks about things quite carefully. His fears were justified, and on the night he stayed in the rental house, disaster befell the Cao family again.

At about 1 o'clock in the morning, Fang Bo heard two slight noises, like the dull sound of a flower pot being blown down to the mud floor by the wind. This is the time when people are asleep, and no one will hear this insignificant sound at such a time. However, Fang Bo he heard. Because he was worried that the black strong man would come to retaliate at night, he didn't sleep very well.

He scrambled to his feet and pulled his gun from under his pillow, knowing that what he feared was about to happen. Sure enough, there were two black shadows in the courtyard of the Cao family that were rushing towards the small building. He didn't have to think about it in a hurry, he immediately called Zhu Feng and asked him to bring someone to Cao's house quickly.

When Fang Bo jumped into the courtyard of the Cao family, two black shadows had already flashed into the house. He quickly followed, crossed the living room, and first touched the old man Li Guiying's room. As soon as I entered the house, a cool breeze with the smell of blood rushed towards me. He subconsciously crouched, dodged a stab from the man in black, and then pulled the trigger, and the bullet hit the gangster's wrist.

Fang Bo hurriedly rushed to the bed, and the old man Li Guiying was covered in blood and had lost a little breath. He turned around and angrily shot the gangster in the leg again. The other gangster is nowhere to be seen, and he must have gone upstairs. Fang Bo ran up the stairs regardless of his success, he hoped that the two shots he had just fired should alert the mother and daughter.

In fact, He Ziqin, like her mother-in-law Li Guiying, had already been stabbed several times and fell in a pool of blood at this time. It's just that the gangster who killed her was not one of the two dark shadows, he climbed in through her back window facing the street.

Cao Ling got up from the bed when she heard the gunshot, she didn't know that the shot was fired by Fang Bo, but she knew that someone in the family might have met with an accident. In the midst of the crisis, she plucked her violin from the wall, which her father had brought back from abroad when she was a sophomore in high school. But now, she couldn't find any weapons to defend herself against.

A black shadow wolf pounced on her and stabbed her bed.

The bedroom area of the Japanese-style building is not very large, and the one where Cao Ling lives is only ten square meters. Except for bookcases, books, and beds, there is not much space left in the whole house. At this time, Cao Ling was standing between the bed and the desk, her waist was already against the windowsill, and there was no way out. When the gangsters stabbed her with a knife, she tried her best to resist with her violin while calling out to her mother. However, she was still stabbed in the shoulder during the fight.

Just as the gangster raised his knife and stabbed her again, there was another crisp gunshot. The vicious gangster shook his body and fell to the ground with a thud. But at this moment, the man with the gun also shook his body and fell to the ground.

Cao Ling saw a dark shadow and walked towards her across the body of the person who had just fallen to the ground.

"Miss Cao, if you want to save your life, hand over your things."

"I don't have what you want."

"Then don't blame me for being ruthless."

The gangster raised the bloody dagger again......

Fang Bo struggled to prop up half of his body, aimed at the sinful back, and pulled the trigger......

The gangster's heavy body didn't know what he had knocked down, and he made a screeching sound.

Cao Ling, who was overly frightened, took a long time to recover, she rushed over and picked up Fang Bo desperately, and shouted again and again: "Is it you, Officer Fang?" Is that you? ”

A faint smile appeared on the corner of Fang Bo's mouth, and he raised his hand, as if to wipe away the tears on the girl's face, "...... Believe...... I...... We ......"

His hand finally went limp......

"Fang Bo ......"

Cao Ling's sad and angry cry came from the small Japanese-style building. At this time, the poor girl did not know that her mother and grandmother had already abandoned her.

……

Zhu Feng's fire grew bigger, and the corners of his mouth obviously bulged with a string of blisters. originally wanted to give the team two days off, but he didn't expect such a bloody case to happen, and he really felt a little powerless. Especially Fang Bo's sacrifice, which he could not forgive himself no matter what. What a good young man, he was sitting at Cao's house with him yesterday afternoon eating grapes, but in a blink of an eye, he became two worlds. He hated himself, when Fang Bo got out of the car and went back, he really thought that he was going back for Cao Ling, why didn't he think much about the current situation of the Cao family? Cao Ling's return will inevitably cause panic in the Longteng Group. If it weren't for Fang Bo's temporary decision to rent a house in Qinglin Lane, if he hadn't fought with the three gangsters alone, the destruction of the Cao family would have been inevitable. There is also the gangster named Qiu Zechuan, which was a living mouth that Fang Bo deliberately left, but he was killed under his nose.

In the early morning, when the comrades of the police station, bureau leaders and criminal investigation technical departments of the district police station rushed to the scene, he and Guo Dongliangyi went to the hospital because they wanted to treat Cao Ling and Qiu Zechuan. It wasn't until dawn that the suspect Qiu Zechuan finished the operation. When he was pushed into the ward and Guo Dong guarded him, he went to visit Cao Ling, who was still in extreme mourning. Unexpectedly, when he returned to Qiu Zechuan's ward again, he was dead, but Guo Dong did not know where to go.

"Where have you been?"

As soon as Guo Dong stepped into the door of the ward, Zhu Feng yelled at him with his head and face.

"Me? I just found Jia Shuren. Looking at Qiu Zechuan, who was standing tall, Guo Dong didn't mention how much he regretted it.

Jia Shuren is here? They're moving fast enough. "But it's too late to say anything, and people have already been silenced. In anger, Zhu Feng suddenly remembered Cao Ling, and he shouted, "It's not good, come with me." ”

By the time they arrived at Cao Ling's ward, it was already late. Liang Yi, who was on guard here, leaned on the chair at the door as if he was asleep, and the ward was empty, and Cao Ling had long since disappeared.

……

When Dong Zheng and Tian Jiang, secretary of the Municipal Legal Committee, came to the Jingshan Public Security Bureau together, Zhu Feng was scolded by Xu Haotian.

"What do you think you can do? Are you a three-year-old in kindergarten? Would you like to get you a babysitter? You are a criminal investigation captain, leading two big living people, and you can make two injured people die and lose one, am I giving you a burning stick? ”

Although Tong Xiao did not jump like thunder, his already black face was already covered with dark clouds.

"I think it's time for your criminal investigation team to be completely replaced. Leave the work at hand to Deputy Director Xu, and suspend it for inspection first. ”

"Don't rush to deal with it yet, let's talk about it after the meeting."

Dong Zheng and Tian Jiang walked into Tong Xiao's office while talking.

A quarter of an hour later, the case analysis meeting, which was personally presided over by Dong Zheng and attended by some leading cadres of the Jingshan Sub-Bureau, began in the small conference room of the sub-bureau. Zhu Feng, as the investigator of the case, also attended the meeting, and he had already weighed the importance of the meeting from the expressions of the leaders of the city bureau.

Sure enough, as soon as Dong Zheng opened his mouth, the participants felt the weight of those words.

"I don't know if all of you here are satisfied with the work of this bureau, during the time when your political commissar Hao Dachuan went to Beijing for medical treatment, several homicides occurred one after another in the jurisdiction under your control, and even the municipal party committee and government attached great importance to it, and you seem to be quite calm."

Tian Jiang took the conversation, "Do you know what the Internet says about the security in this area? They made up all of your Jingshan District into a smooth mouth, 'The three escorts are one scene, the evil gambling has become the wind, one case has been solved for three years, and the blood is sad and sad'. I wonder how you feel when you hear this? Even I, the secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, felt that I was derelict in my duties and a sinner of the people. I want to ask you, do you want to resign en masse? Or wait for the people to come and seal your door with sticks? ”

"I don't think it's necessary to resign en masse, but it's still necessary to analyze the case and find the ghosts."

Tong Xiao and Xu Haotian glanced at each other, and Dong Zheng's words shocked them both.

Dong Zheng glanced at everyone majestically, cleared his voice and said: "At the very beginning of this 'strike hard' struggle, your sub-bureau took decisive action, and the goal was to eliminate the underground casino of the North Olympic bowling alley. Until the time of the mission, all officers participating in the operation will hand over their communication tools. Except for Tong Xiao and a few of you, as well as Luo Yang who was detained in the detention center, no one knew the specific content of this operation. However, your actions that night were in vain. And this time, when Fang Bo found that someone went to Cao's house to threaten him, he stayed that night to prevent accidents, and went to several gangsters to commit murder in the early morning, and the entire Cao family participated in the investigation and curbing the gangsters' crimes, except for Fang Bo, who sacrificed, and then Zhu Feng understood the situation. But after the homicide occurred, the only living and injured Cao Ling was sent to the hospital for treatment, and in just a few hours, the suspect was killed and the important parties were also missing. As far as I know, in addition to the fact that several of you have been to the scene of the murder in the early hours of this morning, you also know the suspect and the hospital where Cao Ling went.

If the matter of the North Olympic bowling alley does not rule out the suspicion that Luo Yang has reported the news, then this time he can completely get out of the matter. In other words, one of you here is the ghost I'm looking for. ”

The most ugly faces belonged to Tong Xiao and Xu Haotian, who looked at the two city bureau leaders almost without blinking.

"Deputy Director Dong, this seems unlikely, right?" Xu Haotian looked at several of his colleagues and asked boldly.

Dong Zheng glanced at Tian Jiang, and then cast a sharp gaze on Xu Haotian, "Then which of you can give me a better explanation?" ”

Tian Jiang opened his purse and took out a telephone communication record from it, "This is what we just printed out from the telecommunications bureau, and it records the call records of all of you between 1 o'clock and 5 o'clock this morning." Zhu Feng called Xu Haotian twice at 1:22 and 4:48. The previous time was to report to the leaders that there was a bloody case on Qinglin Street, and the second time was because Qiu Zechuan was killed and Cao Ling disappeared. Of course, we don't rule out that he used other communication tools to deliver messages to the outside world. Comrade Xu Haotian also made two phone calls during this time, and judging from this call record, his phone number was made to Tong Xiao and Deputy Director Dong. On the way to your sub-bureau, I asked Comrade Dong Zheng about the extraordinarily serious murder case. Of course, we do not rule out the suspicion that he is the same as Comrade Zhu Feng, and uses other means of communication to contact the outside world. Finally, he moved his gaze to Tong Xiao, "Our Director Tong has been really busy enough for a while, after Political Commissar Hao Dachuan is sick and hospitalized, you have to be responsible for the daily work of the bureau, and you also have to take charge of the work of the party committee." After participating in the short-term training at the party school, I caught up with the 'strike hard'. And this time, when I just returned from Beijing, I encountered a major homicide case again. Director Tong, you have made a total of three phone calls since the Cao family case, one of which was to me and one was to Deputy Director Dong. Can you tell us who you were talking to during the call at 1:56 a.m.? ”

Dong Zheng turned his face and asked Zhu Feng, "When did you leave Cao's house to go to the hospital?" ”

"It's only about 1:40."

Tong Xiao's eyes widened in shock, and he half-said: "I only called twice, and I reported the case to the leader." Other than that, I didn't talk to anyone on the phone, and I can't remember what time it was. ”

Tian Jiang threw the telephone communication record in his hand directly in front of Tong Xiao, "Look at it yourself." ”

Tong Xiao lowered his head and glanced at the printer paper covered with dense numbers, which was not bad at all, at 1:56, his mobile phone did have a call record.

He was a little excited, "I assure the organization in the spirit of the party that I did not have this phone call with unrelated people at the scene of the crime. ”

"How can it be said that they have obtained information and killed the suspect in a very short period of time?"

Dong Zheng put Tong Xiao there with a word, "Unless you can prove that your mobile phone left you during that time." ”

Tong Xiao shook his head in frustration.
