"Hey... Hello, this is the command center of the Tanigawa Public Security Bureau. Please speak. ”

"Hey... Hello, this is the command center of the Tanigawa Public Security Bureau. Excuse me? ”

“……”

"Hello? Hello hello? This is Tanigawa City Public Security..."

"I killed someone. What are you police doing? Why haven't you come yet, hahahahaha! ”

Honk... Honk... Honk...

.......................................

"What's the situation?"

In the early morning after the rain in June, Tanigawa City is filled with the fragrance of osmanthus flowers. Sun Meng walked into the office of the director of the Guchuan City Public Security Bureau, and after a few days of rest, his whole spirit looked a lot refreshed. Several young criminal policemen in the office who attended the meeting got up to greet him when they saw Sun Meng coming in.

"Oh, old grandson, I'm really embarrassed to let you come back early! Don't worry, I'll give you a few more days off as soon as this case is handled! Seeing that Sun Meng couldn't even shave his beard, and rushed back to the bureau as soon as he got off the plane, Zhang Lei was full of smiles.

"Come on, Lao Zhang, what's the situation?" Sun Meng took off the khaki backpack on his body, took out his notebook from it and flipped to a blank page, and then reached out and pulled the chair and sat opposite Zhang Lei.

"The command center has been receiving anonymous phone calls in the afternoon lately, who say that he has killed someone and ask the police to arrest him quickly. The words are full of provocation against our police. ”

"What about the victims?" Sun Meng frowned unconsciously.

"That's the problem!" Zhang Lei tapped the table a few times with his fingers, and his voice also raised an octave: "In the past few days, neither the command center nor the sub-bureaus and police stations below have received any reports of homicide." ”

"Huh?" Sun Meng raised his head, his face full of surprise: "You mean that someone is making a murder notice with our police?" ”

This kind of plot that only appears in novels really makes Sun Meng a little unbelievable. At least in his eight years as a police officer, he has never seen a "suspect" who dares to provoke the police so blatantly.

In the past eight years, despite their young age, Sun Meng and Su Ruo have solved countless cases, and both have a calmness and sophistication that does not match their age. In particular, in following the Ministry of Public Security to crack the famous "12.11 Jingnan Extraordinarily Large Smuggling and Murder Case", the two of them were also awarded second-class meritorious service at the same time.

An Jinghong, then Minister of Public Security, praised the two as "young and old". The good names of "Lao Sun" and "Lao Su" have spread in the police circles.

The corners of Sun Meng's eyes were a little moist. He simply threw down the pen, leaned his whole body on the back of the chair, crossed his hands behind his head, crossed Erlang's legs, and squinted at Zhang Lei.

If a person's fear is first reflected in his eyes, then Sun Meng was born to be a police officer. Whether you are happy, angry, sad, loved, hated, or desired, you don't want to read a trace in his eyes.

His eyes were just too small.

"The murder notice doesn't count," Zhang Lei unscrewed the thermos cup and took a sip of hot wolfberry water. "If it's a notice of murder, at least you should tell the name of the victim and the time you plan to commit the crime."

"Lao Zhang, what do you think?"

"I think it's still more likely to be a harassing phone call. After all, whether it is the command center, or the sub-bureaus and police stations below, it is not surprising to receive similar harassing calls every year. ”

"Lao Zhang! I've been with you for eight years! I said, can you keep up with the times a little bit with that little trick of yours?! Sun Meng rubbed her stubble-covered chin. The night's rush makes the fine stubble even more prickly.

"If you think it's just a harassing phone call, you can't call me back in a hurry, can you?!"

"Hahaha." Zhang Lei looked at Sun Meng and laughed. The mottling of years made the most delicate baptism in the corners of his eyes.

"You, you!" Zhang Lei stretched out his finger and nodded at Sun Meng, turned his head and commanded softly: "Suqing, take the Meng team to your technical investigation department to listen to the phone recording." ”

"Okay Zhangju!" Standing up was a young man named Li Suqing, who had just graduated from college this year and was angry with a book. He is a technician of the Technical Investigation Division.

"Hey... Hello, this is the command center of the Tanigawa Public Security Bureau. Please speak. ”

“……”

"Hey... Hello, this is the command center of the Tanigawa Public Security Bureau. Excuse me? ”

“……”

"Hello? Hello hello? This is Tanigawa City Public Security..."

"I killed someone. What are you police doing? Why haven't you come yet, hahahahaha! ”

Honk... Honk... Honk...

........................................

"Gone?" Sun Meng listened to it three times over and over again, and after listening to the recording, he sighed.

"Yes, that's all there is to it." Wu Zhou, the head of the Technical Investigation Section, and several investigators also gathered around the table with serious expressions, sitting or standing.

Sun Meng habitually rubbed his chin and thought, and the mustache on his chin added a lot to his vicissitudes today.

"I care more about what the other party says, 'I killed someone.'"

At this time, Zhang Lei pushed the door in, and he nodded noncommittally: "Go on." ”

"If this phone call is just a provocative notice of murder for our police, then according to our normal language logic and language habits, it is generally said something like 'I want to kill someone' or 'I will kill someone'. At the same time, the tone of the other party when he said the words 'I killed someone'..."

The abrupt pause in Sun Meng's words made several pairs of eyes of the Technical Investigation Department turn to him in unison.

"I have a bold guess," Sun Meng said slowly as he looked around at the crowd, "I think the other party is likely to have completed a fairly successful killing process." It's just that the body that was hidden by the other party has not been found by our police or other witnesses for the time being. ”

Sun Meng's words instantly silenced the room. Everyone present felt a chill down their spines and their hairs stand on end. If there really is such a victim in Tanigawa City, but no one has found out that he was killed, and no one even found out about the process of the murderer's murder, and the murderer swaggered to make a provocative call to the Tanigawa City Public Security Bureau after killing someone, even a well-informed police officer would inevitably feel that it was too terrible.

"What other clues are there around this mysterious phone call?" Sun Meng looked at Li Suqing.

"Report to the Meng team," Li Suqing opened the tablet in his hand, and his fingers slid up and down while reporting: "Since three days ago, that is, on June 13, this murderer has made this provocative call on time at 2:32 p.m. every day..."

"I'm sorry for Su Qing, I'll interrupt you," Sun Meng made a "stop" gesture with a smile on his face, "How do you conclude that he is the murderer?" ”

"Huh?" Li Suqing obviously didn't figure out the situation, and was speechless for a while when Sun Meng asked.

"First of all, whether this constitutes a case or not is just a guess of mine based on an anonymous phone call. Whether there is or is not still needs our further investigation. Secondly, we are combing the clues on the basis of assuming that this case is real, you haven't even figured out the ins and outs, how can you pull out a murderer based on just one recording? ”

"Ahh I..." Li Suqing's face was red at Sun Meng's words, and his heart was pounding.

"All of you here are doing criminal investigation work, and I hope you can remember that criminal investigators must not be 'preconceived' and must use evidence to speak."

Zhang Lei nodded approvingly. Li Suqing solemnly saluted Sun Meng: "I'm sorry for the Meng team, I was wrong." ”

Sun Meng put away the instantaneous seriousness on his face, and replaced it with a familiar lightness: "You just graduated, and you still need time to get used to it." Well, you go ahead. Oh, by the way, you must have located each other's calls, it's a virtual IP, right? Dare to call the public security bureau in a brazen manner, this ability is still necessary. ”

Li Suqing nodded and continued to report: "We did locate this phone call through technical means and found that the other party was using a virtual IP. However, the number used by the other caller is the same number. ”

"Same number?" Sun Meng frowned.

"Yes," Li Suqing nodded, and continued: "We did a retrospective search of this number, and found that this phone number is indeed real, and it was used by a building materials company in Tanigawa City almost twenty years ago. However, it has now been deactivated. ”

"What's the name of the building materials company?" Zhang Lei asked.

"Pujiang Industrial Group."

"First of all, let me check if this Pujiang Industrial Group has any recent report records!" As soon as Zhang Lei gave the order, the two young investigators of the Technical Investigation Department hurriedly took action.

"Clear," Sun Meng walked to the map of Tanigawa City hanging on the north wall of the Technical Investigation Department, and asked while carefully examining it, "It turns out that this Pujiang Industrial Group is the same as the current address?" ”

"A different cute team. Caiman Street, the former site of Pujiang Industrial Group, was relocated five years ago because it was used by the municipal government as a land for greening in the new urban area. ”

"Report to Zhang Ju!" Li Suqing turned on the monitoring system, and it was an alarm call transferred from the command center. Sun Meng raised his wrist and looked at his watch, two thirty-two minutes.

"Hey... Hello, this is the command center of the Tanigawa Public Security Bureau. Please speak. ”

“……”

"Hey... Hello, this is the command center of the Tanigawa Public Security Bureau. Excuse me? ”

“……”

"Hello? Hello hello? This is Tanigawa City Public Security..."

"I killed someone. What are you police doing? Why haven't you come yet, hahahahaha! ”

"Listen, I'm Sun Meng, deputy captain of the criminal police of the Guchuan City Public Security Bureau, who are you?" Sun Meng took the phone and said calmly and sternly.

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time, and finally the sound of hanging up came.

"Report to the Moe Team!" Li Suqing put down the monitoring headset and turned to look at Sun Meng: "While listening to today's phone call, we found through technical means that the other party did not use a virtual IP when making this call, so the other party is now at the old site of Pujiang Industrial Group." ”

After hearing this, Sun Meng immediately went to the map to take a closer look: "But as far as I know, not only is this place undeveloped, but now it is a stinky garbage mountain!" ”

"What ???" Both Li Suqing and Zhang Lei felt incredulous.

The garbage mountain at the former site of the Pujiang Industrial Group is responsible for almost two-thirds of the smell in Tanigawa City, and even wild cats and dogs are kept three minutes away, let alone someone there on this hot summer day.

A specific time, and a specific place, gave Sun Meng a faint sense of foreboding.

"Lao Zhang, I have an intuition that some things are eighty percent true..."

A hint of heaviness flashed in Sun Meng's eyes.
