27 Epilogue

Previous Chapter

In the sound of firecrackers in the New Year, the atmosphere of Changlu City is like the barrel of a dumb gun, immersed in a strange silence. The movie "Winter Songs 2" is rumored to have been forced to cancel the filming plan due to negative news. The wonderful program that everyone was looking forward to came to an abrupt end, and it couldn't help but make people sigh.

Since the famous director Ma Yihua died mysteriously in the dressing room after a movie promotion event, the director's position in "Winter Songs 2" has become vacant again. When everyone's eyes refocused on the former director Ma Sangqing, it was rumored that she and her assistant both died at home. This series of changes has made the movie "Winter Songs 2" have no hope of filming, but it has become the most popular conversation for everyone during the New Year holiday in Changlu City.

Seth, Xu Qingqing and others, who are well-known to the audience with "Winter Love Song", had to find another way to survive due to the stillbirth of the new movie. But Zhang Xian, who had just emerged not long ago, was not so lucky, and after the results of the personnel changes came out, he was swept away by the crew. He was once attached to Ma Sangqing's scenery for a while, and became a joke in everyone's mouths.

Liu Lujin drank tea while flipping through the morning newspaper of the new day. The headlines of the newspaper's entertainment section have been around the topic of "Winter Songs 2" for several days, and he is already a little tired of watching it. Bi Guofeng, who was beside him, carefully placed the sugar cubes into the steaming instant coffee, trying not to stir up a splash. But with Chang Zhi's sudden intrusion into the office, his boring behavior was completely disrupted.

"Team leader, your punishment is revoked." Chang Zhi said breathlessly.

"Really? Hao Ju is also back? ”

Chang Zhi nodded: "The above should be seeing that he is about to retire, so there is no intention of pursuing it." Besides, isn't this a serial case? ”

Liu Lujin, who was on the side, heard this and turned his head: "Do you know who the murderer is?" ”

"It's Cen Min!" Chang Zhi said categorically.

"What about the evidence?"

"Where else do you need evidence?" Chang Zhi said with a smile, "The murder weapon that killed Ma Yihua and the murder weapon that killed Ma Sangqing is the boning knife we found in 403 of the Green Bank Community, and there is only Cen Min's fingerprint on the knife, which is enough to show that she is the real murderer." Otherwise, how can the above revoke your punishment of threatening Cen Min with a gun. ”

Bi Guofeng crossed his hands and clasped them in front of his chest: "According to what you mean, the reason why the upper authorities revoked my punishment is because I pointed a gun at a real criminal, right?" ”

"Empty guns. You don't have a magazine. ”

Bi Guofeng shook his head: "If Cen Min is the real murderer, why do I still feel that there are still many puzzle pieces left to put together the whole pattern?" ”

"I hate to admit it, but your instincts are in line with the facts. If you want to say that the murderer is not Cen Min, I don't believe it either. Anyway, you haven't told me yet, why did you think that Cen Min was the murderer of Zhou Xi and Sun Qili from the beginning? Liu Lujin asked.

Bi Guofeng sighed and said, "Do you remember that after Zhang Xian was arrested, there was an eyewitness who said that he saw a suspicious character appear in the Jinjing Garden where Zhou Xi lived? ”

Chang Zhi nodded slightly when he heard this: "It's good to have this person, didn't we let him identify him at that time?" He didn't identify Zhang Xianlai, but pointed to a ......"

"A fat man." Bi Guofeng finished speaking for Chang Zhi, "Among the seven people who were identified that day, in addition to Zhang Xian, two of the other six were our colleagues, and the other four were prisoners in the detention cell. Among the seven people were men and women, all of whom were of different stature, height, and appearance. At that time, the witness pointed to the fat woman and said, 'It seems to be such a person', which proves that the person he saw should be far away, and he should not be able to see it clearly. It's just that the fat figure left a deep impression on him. ”

"So...... With this clue, you narrowed down the suspect to obese people? Liu Lujin said a little incredulously.

Bi Guofeng nodded and said, "Sort of, but this is also a conclusion based on the sum of various clues later." ”

"If Cen Min wasn't a fat man, I'm afraid this case would still be pending." Chang Zhi said jokingly. When he remembered everything he had experienced in the past two months to solve the case, he still sighed.

At this moment, Kong De walked into the office area: "Bi Guofeng, the director is looking for you." ”

"Looking for me?"

"Yes, it's downstairs, you can go quickly."

Bi Guofeng put down the coffee in his hand and ran downstairs quickly. Even now, he still can't forgive Hao Liye for hiding the case of his mother's death, but as long as Hao Liye is his superior one day, he will obey his orders one day. This is also what he has learned in these cases in the past few months, the so-called duty of a criminal policeman. Sometimes he found it annoying to be a police officer and have to follow the rules, but now he has grown accustomed to the benefits of discipline. Maybe it's really like Liu Lujin and himself said, solving the case does require some imagination, but these imaginations also need to be made up by evidence and legally constrained.

Hao Liye saw Bi Guofeng coming from a distance, he beckoned and urged, "Hurry up." ”

Bi Guofeng trotted through the courtyard and came to Hao Liye: "Is there something wrong?" ”

"I just came back, and I heard that the case is closed?"

"It's over." Bi Guofeng was noncommittal.

"What is the end of the knot, the knot is the end, and the knot is not the knot. What do you mean by ......," Hao Liye muttered unhappily.

Bi Guofeng frowned and said, "Some things may never end. ”

Hao Liye heard the meaning of his words, and he patted Bi Guofeng on the shoulder: "I'm sorry about your mother's business." But isn't that murderer already in ambush now? I heard that it was a suicide, so it was cheaper for her. Your grudges for more than 20 years can be regarded as revenge. ”

Bi Guofeng did not answer, but took out a cigarette and raised his hand to signal Hao Liye to smoke one. Hao Liye gave him a strange look, took one out of his cigarette case, and put it in his mouth.

Bi Guofeng took out a lighter and lit it for Hao Liye first, and then lit one himself. The two of them took a big puff opposite each other, their eyes narrowing comfortably.

"Your cigarette is ......"

"Director, you didn't come to me just to talk about this, did you?" Bi Guofeng interrupted Hao Liye.

Hao Liye nodded and said, "Do you remember that He Gui?" ”

"Of course I do."

"His mother was found, in a nursing home in the city of Keli. It is said that his condition has improved in the first few weeks, and he is now able to speak and go to the toilet on his own. ”

"You're telling me this to ...... me"

"You go to the basket and report the death." Hao Liye threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stepped on it.

Bi Guofeng looked at Hao Liye puzzled: "Kong De is better at this than me, why don't you let him go." ”

"No, you will treat this trip as if I gave you a small vacation, and there is nothing to do in the next game, you can relax for a while."

Bi Guofeng pouted after hearing this. Although he has contributed a lot in these cases, it is not his personal effort to solve the case in the end. It can even be said that the detection of this case is not the credit of all the public security officers involved in it. Because, looking at the overall situation, the clues they collected, the suspects they interrogated, and the evidence they extracted actually did little help in the final arrest of the real culprit.

If you want to say that Cen Min, that is, that Ma Min, is the so-called "Ma Dao" before He Gui's death, Bi Guofeng still can't believe it at this moment. If Cen Min hadn't killed Ma Sangqing in the end and committed suicide by her side, I'm afraid this series of murders would still be hanging there.

"Hao Ju, since you said so, then I'll go to Qinli again." Bi Guofeng said, "I really hope that I will not encounter this kind of case again in my lifetime, it is really ......."

"That's right, you deserve it." Hao Liye nodded with satisfaction after hearing this, and pointed to the car next to him, "Get in the car, I'll take you to the station." ”

Bi Guofeng was stunned for a moment, and then became a little embarrassed: "Director, you're not suitable, right......?"

"What's inappropriate, your car is so moving, it should have been sent for repair a long time ago. Let's go......" Hao Liye dragged Bi Guofeng and walked towards the car. Bi Guofeng couldn't resist him, so he had to obediently follow him into the car.

Hao Liye drove Bi Guofeng along the national highway to the outskirts of the city. Bi Guofeng sat in the passenger seat, sniffing the faint smell of perfume in the car, and his sleepiness gradually rose, and the scenery outside the window he had never looked carefully for so many years. At this time, when he was really idle, he didn't have the heart to take a closer look.

If the person who killed his mother was not Lu Shuang but Cen Min, then is he now taking revenge as Hao Liye said? In other words, the pace of pursuing Lu Shuang for the rest of his life still can't stop.

Bi Guofeng's eyes were stunned, and the real-time news floating out of the car radio whispered in his ear: Zhang Xian, a new actor who participated in the performance of "Winter Love Song 2", recently filed a lawsuit with the court, and the defendant is the famous filmmaker in the entertainment industry-Shao Kefu. It is reported that Zhang Xian claimed to have entered the film industry under the support of Shaokov, and "Winter Love Song 2" was the first movie he starred in. But as we all know, Zhang Xian was just fired from the crew of "Winter Love Song 2" a few days ago, and whether this is related to Zhang Xian's lawsuit against Shao Kefu is not yet known. Relevant personnel pointed out that Zhang Xian has a close relationship with the famous director Ma Sangqing, who died mysteriously a few days ago. Whether this lawsuit is related to a number of celebrity homicides before the end of the year is a matter of opinion......

Bi Guofeng straightened up and loosened his shoulders, and the news on the radio brought his mind back to when he interrogated Zhang Xian in the interrogation room a few months ago. So far, what else does this clown want to make a scene? Bi Guofeng found that there seemed to be many things hidden behind these closed serial cases that he still didn't understand clearly.

Hao Liye drove his car fast and steady on the road, and after a while, Bi Guofeng began to get sleepy again. At that moment, he suddenly saw a rusty billboard slowly moving outside the window. He asked aloud, "Why is there nothing on that billboard?" ”

Hao Liye followed Bi Guofeng's gaze, smiled and said, "You rarely come to this area, right?" The billboard was abandoned shortly after it was built because it didn't meet the specifications. It is said that it is too close to the highway, and if there is an advertisement on it, it will easily distract the driver. Therefore, it was not used once after repair. ”

"Then why not tear it down?" Bi Guofeng asked strangely.

"If there is no advertisement on it, it doesn't matter if it is not dismantled? It will take a lot of manpower and material resources to dismantle. ”

Bi Guofeng opened his mouth to say something when he heard this, but he didn't say anything. He pulled the seat belt, and the words He Gui said to himself suddenly sounded in his mind, "There are some things that you can see clearly when you get closer." He couldn't help but ask himself: Have I now seen Lu Shuang and me, who are the real prisoners trapped in this city?
