Chapter III: Combining Cases for Investigation
The pouring rain in the first half of the night finally stopped slowly, followed by a biting cold wind, the wind with a piercing sound across the sky over the city, from time to time a dazzling lightning split, shrouded the city in an eerie terror, in the dim light, there were almost no pedestrians on the road, only the raindrops in the wind, rolling down from the branches of the trees uncertainly, making a "salsa" sound.
On the outskirts of the coastal city after the heavy rain, on a mass grave at the foot of the West Mountain, overgrown with weeds, flashing fireflies, chirping insects at night, a number of deserted graves and wild tombs stand on the post, and in the distance, owls are "purring" and calling, making the night after the rain with a high black wind in this month even more cloudy.
Suddenly, after a flash of lightning, a large number of birds that had been sleeping on the hill flew up in a large area, chirping miserably in the dark night sky, circling, and then, I don't know where it flew, it also added a horror and desolation to this terrible mass grave.
After the lightning flashed, a long black shadow fluttered and fell on the mass grave. The long white hair of the black shadow was scattered behind him, and a black robe fluttered in the wind in the dark, when he slowly turned around, he saw his white skull-like face under the bleak starlight, I believe that this face, anyone in such a night, such an occasion, such a rainy day, anyone who sees it will be sweaty and out of body, not to mention his long blood-red tongue and eyes shining green, which is definitely more terrifying than just crawling out of the coffin.
The ghost stretched out his bony arms, his hands were almost bloodless, skinny, bone-bone, dark and curved nails, I saw him clapping his hands together three times, and then raised his head and roared twice at the night sky, as if a ghost screamed, the sound floated far and far along the mountains, echoes echoed in the valley, the surrounding trees, wild grass rattled, gusts of wind blew, rolled up the fallen leaves and sand and gravels filled the mass graves.
After this terrible roar, from behind a low granite tomb, a black shadow slowly stood up, and in the darkness the black shadow flickered and flickered like a rootless foot, and stood behind the ghost.
The ghost let out another sneer and said, "I arrived at the shore three days ago, and I was ordered by Shangfeng to assist in the execution of the plan!" How's your preparation? ”
"Report, I am ordered to assist you in the implementation of this plan, Shangfeng means that everything is subject to your arrangement, acting according to your instructions, and I am only responsible for your liaison and execution of orders!" The ghost continued.
"You are?" The dark shadow asked.
"Answer me? Isn't it? The shadow roared sternly.
"Yes, I am!" The ghost replied in a low voice.
"Do you know that someone is coming from 'home'?"
"I've heard that."
"Now the wind is very tight, don't come to me easily, I'll contact you if you have something."
"Got it."
The black shadow continued: "That old man Yu is not good enough to be more than ruined, there is no need to keep it, you have to kill him tonight, and you must not let him see the sun tomorrow again, do you understand?" ”
"Yes! Yes, sir! The ghost looked at the shadow and said.
"Let's go!" The dark shadow waved at the ghost.
The black shadow quietly disappeared behind the granite tomb just now, and the ghost smiled coldly again and floated away......
After being washed away by heavy rain, the seashore finally revealed its true face in the early morning rays of dawn.
The coastal city is not big, and as soon as there is a special topic, it immediately spreads all over the streets and alleys.
The crowd was bustling, even the vegetable market, the alley, and even the old man and the old lady were talking one after another: "Hey, Uncle Wang, listen to me, last night in the grass by the side of the road in the mass grave outside the city, an old man was killed, and many people went to see it." Alas! That man's death is terrible, I heard that his face was ruined, what a sin he did in his previous life! ”
Uncle Wang said: "I have also heard that the deceased is either someone else or the old man Yu who cleans every morning. Hey, I can't figure it out either, Old Man Yu is just a single person, eats in his stomach, wears it on his body, and has no property, why do you want to kill Old Man Yu? ”
The man said, "Oh, some people say it's 'love killing.'" ”
Uncle Wang said with a smile: "I see that Old Man Yu is also 'coffin board behind his back', what kind of love killing, that woman and him have a concubine, and that woman herself is unlucky." ”
The man said, "Oh, Uncle Wang, no one should look good." There are many things that are not clear. Otherwise, why kill him? Moreover, he called Old Man Yu outside to kill again, which shows that Old Man Yu and the murderer know each other. ”
Around the scene of the crime, public security officers set up a cordon to prevent vandalism to the crime scene.
Wang Jin, chief of the Investigation Section of the Public Security Bureau, led some people to investigate the scene of the crime, and they repeatedly took pictures of the deceased, carefully and carefully seeking all kinds of valuable clues in the grass, roadsides, and other places, and found that the victim was none other than Yu Defu, an old man who cleaned up on the street every morning.
Yu Defu, in his fifties this year, left his young wife and three-year-old daughter in his twenties, and left home to roam the rivers and lakes, and later worked in the Kuomintang army, he became a prisoner of the People's Liberation Army during the Liberation War, because he was unwilling to continue to stay in the army, so he returned home, left home for more than 20 years, and there was no news, and the family always thought that he was dead.
In 1949, Yu Defu suddenly returned home, the family has changed a lot, his wife has long since remarried, his daughter has long been married, and there is only a dilapidated house left in the family.
Yu Defu wore a faded military uniform, carried a backpack on his shoulder, carried a travel bag, stood in the courtyard, looking at the cobwebs, dilapidated houses, looking helpless.
In the conference room of the Public Security Bureau, a five-star red flag was hung on the front wall with the words "Heighten Vigilance and Defend the Motherland" on it, a rectangular table in the center of the conference room was covered with a white tablecloth, and people from various departments were sitting on both sides of the table, including the reconnaissance section, the technical inspection department, the telecommunications department, and the archives.
Xiao Yong said: "Comrades! In the past few days, a series of problems have occurred in our city, such as the murder of Yu Defu, the appearance of a secret radio station, and the discovery of two sets of diving suits on the beach this morning. However, we must not take our guard lightly, heighten our vigilance against the enemy's sabotage activities, quickly crack cases as quickly as possible, resolutely crack down on the arrogance of the counterrevolution, and never allow the enemy's conspiracy to succeed. Next, I would like to ask Comrade Wang Jin to first report on what has happened in our city in the past two days, and then we will make further analysis. Then he turned his head to Ding Ming, who nodded knowingly.
The atmosphere in the venue suddenly became serious, and some took out small notebooks and pricked up their ears a little.
Wang Jin took out a small notebook and began to introduce: "Comrades, early yesterday morning, the militia patrolled to the stone cave next to the Jianzui Reef and found two abandoned diving suits and two empty cans, judging from the abandoned items, these were left by the enemy, and at the same time, the '133' radio station, which had disappeared for a long time, began to operate again. Is it murder or something else? Is it related to the enemy's lurking, or is it irrelevant? ”
Wang Jin gave a general introduction to the diving suit and other items found on the beach, the intercepted telegram, and the death of Yu Defu, and asked questions for everyone to think.
The following discussion suddenly began. In the end, the focus of everyone's contradiction focused on Yu Defu's death, whether it had anything to do with the enemy's lurking, whether it was a parallel case, or was it unrelated?
At this time, Xiao Yong interjected to Li Liang in the archives section and said, "Comrade Li Liang, you should immediately check Yu Defu's files before he was captured. ”
Li Liang got up and said, "Yes!" I'll go right away. ”
Li Liang entered the archive room, opened the filing cabinet, flipped through several case files, and finally pulled out a copy, and after a while, took a case file and put it in front of Xiao Yong.
Xiao Yong flipped through Yu Defu's file:
Yu Defu joined the Kuomintang army in 1938, and before being captured, he was a lieutenant in the 62nd Division of the Kuomintang, and he left the army for six months.
The 62nd Division of the Kuomintang was active in Wujiang in Jiangsu and Huzhou in Zhejiang.
Xiao Yong said: "According to the situation at the scene, Yu Defu's death is certain, from the autopsy, his head has obvious traces of being hit by a blunt object, he has no power, no money, is there any other ulterior motives?" I don't think this is an isolated homicide. Then he turned his face to Tao Ran to the side, "What do you see, Director Tao?" ”
Tao Ran's mood is a little wrong these days, she is 28 years old this year, but she is still unmarried, and she wants to chase Liu Fang, but she always has something else in her heart; One day when he came home from work, Tao Ran happened to meet Liu Fang at the door, "Come on!" Xiao Liu, by the way, I'll send you back. ”
"No, no, I'm taking the bus at the door, it's very convenient, thank you, don't bother you." Liu Fang replied very dryly.
Tao Ran looked at Liu Fang's reluctant look, shook his head helplessly, "Hey-" sighed and sighed, thinking, I can't even shoot a sycophant, it's really a bit of a feeling that I can't insert a needle and can't splash water, after all, Lao Tzu is the commander of the armament region, but how can I Tao Ran be a position or ability, which point is not as good as Wang Jin? But she had a hot fight with Wang Jin, of course, there were more other ideas, and she felt very annoyed in her heart, so he said quietly: "Anyway, listen to everyone's opinions." ”
In the end, many people expressed their opinions, and everyone agreed that the two cases should be investigated together.
