Chapter Forty-Eight: A Mysterious Death

After sending Zheng Qian and Lu Anzhi to the hotel, Zheng Nansi drove Lu Qingqing back to the brigade dormitory. Unlike Wei Chili, they did not have a home in Simao County, and lived in the brigade dormitory with a single police officer.

Zheng Qian quickly came to his senses, and it can also be said that he was not drunk at all, and he was pretending to be drunk for Cao Guisheng. He buried his face in the sink to wash his face, walked out of the room, and knocked on Lu Anzhi's door.

The door rang three times, and Lu Anzhi opened the door and welcomed Zheng Qian in.

"What have you found?" Zheng Qian got straight to the point.

"You can't see it, it's the same as back then, no, he's hiding deeper than he was back then, and you can never easily see his thoughts." Lu Anzhi is talking about Cao Guisheng.

"Do you think he killed people?" Zheng Qian took out a cigarette from the cigarette case on the table, lit it, took a puff, swirled it in his throat, and spit it out, the smoke gathered around the light bulb above his head, gathering more and more thick.

"Whether it was Cao Guisheng killed or not, it is still uncertain, but if you insist that the person was killed by Li Chuang, it is unreasonable, and the purpose of Li Chuang's killing cannot be explained." Lu Anzhi also took out a cigarette and smoked it in the same way as Zheng Qian.

Smoking is food for thought.

As Cao Guisheng told Xu You, Zheng Qian and Lu Anzhi are not simple, they have ignored each other for so many years, and now they suddenly take the initiative to show goodwill, they must have some plans. Yes, what they want is to find Cao Guisheng's flaws, send people to monitor him, and find out his relationship with the series of murders in Guangong Town Middle School, so as to eliminate the danger that they may become the next unjust ghosts.

"Brother, in your opinion, will the deaths of Wu Changan and Wei Chi be related to the events of that year?" When there was no one in private, Lu Anzhi called Zheng Qian that. When they went to the mountains and went to the countryside, they lived in the same house and slept in the same room, and they had already established a deep relationship.

At the mention of this, Zheng Gan's hand holding the cigarette shook involuntarily, he didn't dare to recall the events of the year, it was a nightmare that haunted him, "shut up" He scolded Lu Anzhi.

"After all these years, who else is going to hold on to it? Yuan Liuyang and Shi Jing are dead, and Lei Yingtian, who was in prison, did not tell the truth back then, and it is even more impossible to say it now. Cao Guisheng has no reason to do this, he has already done it if he wants to, why wait until today. Lu Anzhi seemed to be talking to Zheng Gan, and it seemed to be talking to himself, he was so by Zheng Qian, he didn't dare to say what happened back then, but he couldn't help it.

"Two points: one, from today onwards, be vigilant, there are not a few educated youths left, and I don't want to see you next; Second, closely monitor Cao Guisheng, we must grasp his every move clearly, I have handed over this matter to Kong Shangwu to do, and you will contact him directly in the future. Remember, Kong Shangwu is a double-edged sword, it is likely to hurt ourselves, once we find out that he is not honest, find someone to kill him. It is not easy to live to this age, so it is necessary to keep the evening festival and leave a spacious road for the children to walk. Zheng Qian snuffed out the cigarette butt, "Go to sleep, and return to probation early tomorrow morning." He walked out of the room and closed the door.

In the middle of the night, it rained a lot, like a hole in the heavenly pool or many gods sat on the clouds and poured water on the world, and the rain was a bit outrageous. People in their sleep don't care about these things, and before the rain, the weather is so hot and humid, I can't sleep, I hear the sound of the rain and feel happy, and then blow some wind, there is a feeling of autumn coolness, just sleep. If it weren't for the fact that the house was washed away by the water, no one would have tried to wake them up from their sleep.

The rain did not stop until early in the morning, and the industrious and miserable people woke up early in the morning to find that the whole city was submerged in water. They cowered back into the door, "With such a big amount of water, who can go to the street, rickshaws don't dare to step on it in deep water." So he hid back in the quilt and enjoyed the warmth of his wife who he usually couldn't enjoy at this time - if he didn't step on a bicycle, he would do something else, and there would always be something to do.

Really hardworking and brave people, whether voluntarily or forced by life, get up early in the morning and rush to work with thigh-high water. That's why someone found Lu Anzhi's body.

When she passed through room 305, she saw that the door was not closed, and she felt strange, no one answered when she knocked on the door, and shouted inside, but no one answered, so she pushed the door in, and found Lu Anzhi lying at the foot of the bed.

Lying next to Lu Anzhi was another person - Zheng Qian. Lu Anzhi's body bent into a struggle, and Zheng Gan's hands pinched Lu Anzhi's neck.

The hotel manager called the police.

When the police arrived, Lu Anzhi had been angry for a long time. Zheng Qian didn't die, he just fainted.

The police first handcuffed Zheng Gan and then woke him up. Zheng Qian looked at all this, completely unaware of why, and his first sentence was, "Bastard, open the handcuffs." ”

It was the police of the police station in the city who handled the case, where did they recognize the true face of the big leader, "Damn, you are so arrogant when you kill someone." "Kicked Zheng Gan's leg and kicked him to his knees beside Lu Anzhi's corpse." You'd better knock a few more times, or he'll come back to you. The police pointed to Lu Anzhi's body and shouted at Zheng Qian.

The first person to receive the news from the Criminal Police Brigade was Zheng Nansi, and he didn't dare to tell Lu Qingqing immediately, so he only took Kong Shangwu with him and went over to see the situation first.

Zheng Nansi saw that his father Zheng Qian was handcuffed by two policemen from the police station, forcing him to kneel on the ground, and the anger in his heart was instantly ignited. "What for?"

The police don't know Zheng Gan, of course they know Zheng Nansi, and the two are planning to ask for merit and reward, you see, they caught the murderer first, which is the first achievement. Who knew that the first person was kicked out by Zheng Nansi, "I ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, and even the deputy mayor dared to catch it!" ”

Hey. Why can't the deputy mayor be arrested, if he kills someone, the mayor must also be arrested. It's just that this suspect is his father Zheng Nansi. Zheng Nansi released the handcuffs for Zheng Qian and helped him sit down on a stool by the window.

The two policemen in the circle knew that they had caused a disaster, and they didn't even dare to come out, so they drooped their heads and stood at the door with their hands down, if Zheng Qian ordered them to eat a piece of now, they would execute it immediately without saying a word.

"Dad, how can this be?" Zheng Nansi looked at his father, he wanted to know what happened last night, but he was afraid that it was really his father who killed Lu Anzhi. In that case, the fate of him and his family will be turned upside down immediately.

"I didn't kill people, I didn't kill people." Zheng Qian quickly calmed down, he had been in the officialdom for decades, he had never seen any storms, and he had even done it when he was young, so he quickly calmed down from the great changes.

Hearing his father say that he didn't kill anyone, Zheng Nansi's heart hanging to his throat was able to be reinstalled in his chest, and he believed what his father said - he didn't kill Lu Anzhi, so who killed Lu Anzhi.

Kong Shangwu was on guard outside the door, and now only Zheng Qian's father and son were left in the room.

"Dad, can you tell me the truth, what happened, you can only help you if you tell me the truth." Zheng Nansi believes that his father is the same thing, but the facts are the facts, after the two policemen go out, they will definitely spread everything they see all over the sky.

Our criminal police captain Zheng Nansi, in the face of law and fairness and justice, chose family affection, he felt that he had the ability to cover up some truths and distort the facts.

Zheng Qian began to try to remember what happened last night, "Last night, after I went out from here, I went back to my room to sleep, and then I ...... When I was woken up by them, I was in this room, on Lu Anzhi's body. From the time he fell asleep until he woke up in the morning, he couldn't remember what had happened.

Zheng Nansi was a little puzzled by his father's words, "Didn't you get drunk last night, you fell asleep after I sent you back to your room, how did you fall asleep after you got out of here?" And then you woke up, woke up and came here again? ”

"You don't have to know that, you just need to know that I'm not killing anyone. You are the captain of the criminal police brigade, and it is your responsibility to find the murderer. ”

"But ......"

"Don't be verbose, concentrate on your case. I'm going to have a lot of trouble in the next few days, and it's all up to you. Zheng Qian lowered his voice, "Kong Shangwu is his own person, you can use it, but you can't completely trust him." Wait until the day when you have to, you can take this thing to meet someone, and he will definitely help you. Zheng Qian took off the pendant from his neck, it was a jade Guanyin, the pendant was split in two, and a folded piece of paper was sandwiched in the middle. Zheng Qian handed the piece of paper to Zheng Nansi, "You must take good care of it, don't look at it now, and look at it when you can use it." ”

"Alright, hold me up." Zheng Qian stretched out his hands.

"Daddy......"

"Do as I say, I'm a murder suspect now, and if you don't torture me, I'll be even more passive. The murderer was able to kill Lu Anzhi without knowing it, and then blamed me, which shows the cleverness of his methods, you must be careful. ”

After Zheng Qian asked his son to handpen him, he sat on a stool and waited for someone to come and take him in, and stopped talking.

Lu Anzhi died. So far, five of the seven educated youths who went to the mountains and went to the countryside in Zixian County in the 70s have died, namely Yuan Liuyang, Shi Jing, Wu Chang'an, Wei Chi Revolution and Lu Anzhi, and now only Cao Guisheng and Zheng Qian are left.

After getting the answer that his father firmly denied that he was the murderer, Zheng Nansi's heart calmed down a little, he summoned Kong Shangwu, asked him to report to Meng Moming immediately, and arranged a forensic autopsy, and at the same time took care of all the personnel in the hotel, including staff and guests, and waited for investigation.

When he can still grasp the initiative, he must seize the time to carry out an investigation and get as much evidence as possible in favor of his father Zheng Qian, Zheng Nansi thought. Since Wei Chi's death, the pressure on the investigation of the series of murder cases in Guangong Town Middle School has become more and more intense, but what has puzzled almost everyone is that the higher-level authorities do not seem to have paid enough attention to the case, the special case team set up and the time limit set have not played any role, and the investigation work mainly falls on the shoulders of a few people in the county criminal police brigade. The general feeling is that someone is deliberately pressing this case.

Now, Lu Anzhi is dead. The death of this regimental-level cadre on active duty, coupled with the death of Wei Chi Revolutionary, is not enough to be taken seriously by certain people in certain units? Moreover, it has always been rumored that Lu Anzhi has a strong backer, but his hands and eyes are up to the sky, if this is the case...... Zheng Nansi had a hunch that the initiative to investigate the case would soon be taken away by the city or even higher-level departments.

Zheng Nansi squatted next to the corpse.

Judging from the appearance of the corpse, the time of death was not long, and it should have happened in the second half of the night. There were no obvious external injuries on the surface of the body, there were pinch marks on the neck, the deceased's lips were purple, and his eyes were round and bloodshot, and it was obvious that someone had choked his neck and caused him to suffocate to death. The room was neatly furnished, with no signs of messiness on the table, stools, drinking glasses, and the quilt on the bed—no fighting. Well, the deceased was killed unconscious or without the ability to resist. Lu Anzhi was drunk last night, and it makes sense that he was easily killed in this situation.

Could the murderer be Li Chuang? Zheng Nansi figured out, this guy appeared in the county a few days ago, and the police did not catch him, so he dared to break into the hotel and kill people? But how did he know the whereabouts of his father and Lu Anzhi, who arrived late yesterday afternoon, and acted quietly without informing anyone in advance.

Zheng Nansi thought of the person who had dinner with him last night: Xu You? This wooden man, cold and stiff, as if everyone owed him hundreds, he and Lu Anzhi met for the first time, and there was no reason to kill. Once he thought of Xu You, Zheng Nansi had one hundred and twenty grass and mud horses floating in his heart, hum, wooden man, the two flowers of the police force were facing him. Driver Xiao Qiu? It's impossible, he followed him when his father was still the county magistrate, and he has been doing it for more than ten years now, he is honest and duty-free, and he has no grudges with Lu Anzhi. Only Cao Guisheng remains, this person is mysterious, he can't figure out his clue, he is a victim of a series of cases in Guangong Town Middle School, it is not easy to escape from death, and it seems very reluctant to link him with the murderer.

After thinking about it, the murderer can only be Li Chuang.
