Chapter 43: Old Cases
"It's about a series of robberies and murders that happened ten years ago." Qiu Yu said with a solemn face: "This series of cases, in fact, not only your father knows, but even I know. It's just that your dad was personally involved in solving the case, and I didn't have that opportunity. At that time, I had just been transferred back to the criminal police team from the rural police station for a few years, and my level was not enough, my ability was limited, and the most critical point was that the place where the crime occurred was not within the scope of Lucheng, so I did not participate. However, I was not idle at the time, and I asked a lot about the case, and I still remember it clearly. ”
"Wow, that's an exaggeration." Wang Bing looked admiring, and said: "I still remember the cases I just inquired about ten years ago, I really admire your memory." If it were me, I would have forgotten it to the clouds. ”
Qiu Yu smiled bitterly, but said very disapprerovingly: "If I really had such a memory, I might have become a master like Sherlock Holmes a long time ago, how could I still be like this." ”
"Sherlock Holmes is a fictional character, naturally far better than ordinary people, and it is not surprising that he is not as good as him." Wang Bing looked at Qiu Yu, there was something inexplicable in his eyes, and he said very seriously: "However, in my heart, you are Sherlock Holmes, and you will always be." ”
Feeling Wang Bing's hot eyes, Qiu Yu couldn't help but be stunned, a trace of inexplicable ripples rose in his heart, and he hurriedly lowered his head, not knowing what to say for a while. Wang Bing also realized his gaffe, his pretty face turned red into an apple in an instant, and he lowered his head shyly, not even daring to look at Qiu Yu.
Qiu Yu collected his mood and said: "The reason why I remember this is because my very good friend is one of the victims of this series of cases. ”
"Ahh Wang Bing raised his head with a look of surprise.
Qiu Yu fell into deep memories, and after a long while, he said slowly: "I was born in a working family, and my parents both worked in the same unit. At that time, our family lived in the compound of the unit. When I was four years old, I moved in next door to a family that also worked at my parents' unit. He has a child who is about the same age as me, named Xiao Hai. Our parents are very good friends, and he and I have lived together almost since we were children. When I grew up, he and I became best friends. ”
"When I was in high school, Xiao Hai's father quit his job and went to the sea to do business. His father was very capable, and by the time I came back from the police academy to work, his family had moved to a luxury neighborhood in the city. In those years, although Xiao Hai and I were busy with each other, the friendship that we have established since childhood cannot be changed by anyone and anything. ”
"Xiao Hai is tall and handsome, his family is very rich, and there are many girls who like him. Therefore, it is inevitable that he will be a little more attentive in this regard. In addition to helping his father with some business, he is spending a lot of time drinking. More than a decade ago, private cars were a luxury item reserved for the wealthy, but his family already had two. One of them is the Audi A6, which until now ordinary people have not dared to hope for at all. Life is getting better and better, Xiao Hai is becoming more and more exaggerated, and gradually becomes a veritable gentleman. He doesn't do anything every day, he just knows how to drive his Audi and take all kinds of girls everywhere to spend money. ”
Qiu Yu's eyes showed a trace of pain, and he continued: "As the old saying goes, blessings and misfortunes are relied upon, and misfortunes and blessings are lurking. Perhaps, this is fate, he is destined to have this catastrophe. One day ten years ago, his father suddenly came to me in a hurry and told me that Xiao Hai's mobile phone had been turned off and had been missing for three days, and asked me to think of a way to see if I could get in touch. Before Xiao Hai disappeared, he once made a phone call home and told his family that he was going to Mingcheng for a few days. At first, I didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that this guy should be having a good time in the women's pile. I told his dad not to worry, I will definitely find a way to contact him and let him contact the family as soon as possible. ”
"At that time, I couldn't contact him, so in order not to worry his family, I still contacted many of his friends in Mingcheng through various methods. I still remember that one of his friends in Mingcheng told me that Xiao Hai had indeed been to Mingcheng, but he only went back to Lucheng after playing for two days. At that time, I had returned to the criminal police team from the rural police station to work for almost three years, and when I got such news, I was also a little worried, and hurriedly tried my best to find Xiao Hai by various means. It's a pity that four days have passed, and it is still like a stone sinking into the sea. I had to report the situation to the leader, and then took his father to the public security bureau to report the case. Once the case is formally accepted, many methods can be used justifiably. Another ten days have passed, and in order to find him, we have used almost all the means at our disposal, but unfortunately, Xiao Hai still has no news. At this moment, needless to say, anyone could have thought that something must have happened to him. I didn't expect that he would never come back. It's been ten years, and we haven't even found the bones, and I don't know where to go if I want to put incense on him. ”
After saying this, Qiu Yu actually had tears in his eyes, and he couldn't say it anymore.
Wang Bing hurriedly handed over a tissue, and said with a concerned face: "Brother Qiu, this matter has passed, don't be too sad." ”
Qiu Yu nodded, wiped his tears again, and after a long while, he continued: "Even if you can't find his person, you have to find his body." During that time, I tried everything I could think of, and I kept desperately investigating, hoping to find even the slightest clue. I ran all the counties and cities around Mingcheng, and finally I still had a little bit of gain. By calling up the videos of each surveillance bayonet, I found that after Xiao Hai's car left Mingcheng, it did not drive in the direction of Lucheng, but drove to Jingcheng. ”
"Jingcheng? Then you must have asked Brother Yang for help, right? Wang Bing couldn't help but ask.
"Well, I contacted the crazy ghost as soon as possible, and rushed to Jingcheng again, hoping to find something here." Qiu Yu's face was bitter, and he said slowly: "The crazy ghost helped me a lot at that time, not only used his connections to check the monitoring of all the checkpoints in and out of the city, but also took me to the police station along the road. It's a pity that Xiao Hai's car seems to have evaporated from the world, and no surveillance has captured him entering Jingcheng. On the day of Xiao Hai's disappearance, it happened to be the Torch Festival, and through Xiao Hai's phone records, the madman took me to find a friend of his in Jingcheng. This person confirmed that Xiao Hai had indeed contacted him that night, claiming that he was going to Jingcheng to celebrate the Torch Festival, but who knows, he didn't see him after waiting all night. That phone call also became his last message. ”
"In this way, Xiao Hai should have been killed on the way from Mingcheng to Jingcheng." Wang Bing's face was solemn, and he asked again: "Since Xiao Hai didn't find it, did he find his car?" ”
Qiu Yu looked sad, shook his head, and said, "The person was not found, and the car was not found." In the end, I had no choice but to return to nothing. He paused, and then said: "Later, through the investigation notice issued by the provincial department, we learned that a case similar to Xiao Hai's disappearance would occur almost every once in a while during that nearly a year. All the missing people have one thing in common. They are not locals, and they all drive luxury cars worth hundreds of thousands, and moreover, the cars disappear along with the people. ”
"So it's a series of robberies, all for luxury cars." Wang Bing was really a little surprised.
Qiu Yu nodded, gritted his teeth and said, "That's right, killing the owner of the car and robbing the luxury car is the purpose of these people." ”
"To be able to do this, it must be a well-organized gang, and it must be a crime on the road." Wang Bing frowned, and said with a puzzled expression: "But there is one thing I haven't figured out, these victims are not stupid, how can they park strangers on the highway?" ”
Qiu Yu sighed and said, "Since such a case can be done, there is naturally a way for them. This series of cases, because it involves a wide range of cases, and the victims are all people with status, so the impact is also relatively large. The provincial department set up a special task force, and some police forces were dispatched from various areas in the province involved in the case as members of the special case group to begin to make all-out efforts to crack the case. At that time, I took the initiative to apply to join the task force, but unfortunately, because I was engaged in on-site investigation work, I did not get permission. A colleague from our criminal police team was involved in the whole case at the time. I learned from him that the gang's modus operandi was very special, they put on police uniforms and disguised themselves as police officers to set up checkpoints on the side of the road to check passing vehicles. ”
"Damn, that's an exaggeration." Wang Bing looked surprised and said, "No wonder those people took the initiative to stop, they thought they had encountered the police." In this way, the victim will naturally let down their guard and it will be easier for them to succeed. ”
"That's right, don't say it's these people, even if we police encounter them, we will inevitably kill them." A trace of anger flashed in Qiu Yu's eyes, and he said slowly: "This series of robbery and murder cases, under the organization of the provincial department, has been investigated for a long time, and in the end, all the clues have been broken, and we can only return in vain. ”
"Jiang Weimin's letter of repentance, is it these cases that are written?" Wang Bing was simply surprised.
"That's right." Qiu Yu handed the photos in the file to Wang Bing and said, "The content of these photos is a remade letter of repentance. He was quite detailed, so I don't think it could be a fake. ”
"No wonder, such a huge special operation didn't solve the case, it turned out to be a ghost done by the police." Wang Bing said, took the photos, and looked at them carefully.
After a long while, she said with a surprised face: "I really can't see that Jiang Weimin seems to be a person who is Swenwen, and he can actually organize and lead this kind of crazy robbery and murder gang." ”
Qiu Yu sighed, his face was full of bitterness, and said slowly: "Yes! Who would have imagined. Perhaps, this is the truest portrayal of people's inconsequential appearance. ”
