In the ward, Meng Yu lay on the hospital bed, looking at the ceiling alone.

An Xin walked in briskly through the door. Meng Yu was obviously startled by the sudden sound of the door opening, and was relieved when he saw that it was An Xin.

An Xin noticed Meng Yu's emotions and regretted that she was a little careless.

"The film will come out in a while, how are you feeling now?"

"I said it was okay, just make a fuss."

"You too, go with Li Hongwei alone. Do you know that he is threatening to take revenge on you everywhere? ”

"He really has nothing to fear, but the two people who saved me are terrible. They covered their faces, but they seemed to know me. How do they know I'm there? You don't know, one of them has a knife in his hand, and there is blood everywhere, but he seems to be used to it. Another...... should know Li Hongwei, they seem to have said a few words. ”

Meng Yu recalled vigorously, and then suddenly stared at An Xin and said, "Yes, they should have a grudge, and it is very deep." That person tortured Li Hongwei, and Li Hongwei was beaten and screamed all the time, one after another. ”

"Stop, don't think about it! Just leave the rest to the police. ”

"Don't worry, I'm not that fragile, it's just that my mind is a little messy for a while, if I can recall any useful clues, I'll tell you."

At this time, Meng Dehai and Aunt Cui entered the ward.

An Xin hurriedly said: "Except for a contusion on the head that caused a brief coma, it doesn't matter what else is. I've already made a film, and I'm waiting for the results. ”

Meng Dehai breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help nodding: "That's good, that's good." ”

Aunt Cui wanted to step forward to check Meng Yu's injuries with red eyes, but she didn't want to feel like the world was spinning as soon as she took one foot.

Aunt Cui fainted, and Meng Dehai and An Xin hurriedly hugged her and shouted for the doctor.

Meng Yu on the hospital bed looked at everything in front of him, but he didn't have time to say anything, and watched his mother being pushed out. She thought about the bits and pieces of these days, and secretly made a decision in her heart.

In the hall of the Gao family, Gao Qiqiang slapped his younger brother in the face.

"You're crazy! Dare to rob people with the police? If you get caught, you're done! ”

"But I won. Li Hongwei died, and Meng Dehai's daughter was unharmed. Brother, I admit that it was a bit risky, but if our family can have today, isn't it just spelled out? ”

"Is Li Hongwei definitely dead? And I ask you, if tomorrow the police come to you and ask you where you have been tonight, what do you say? ”

"Why did they come to me? What is the evidence? ”

"Go and call Xiaolong and Xiaohu here, order four more cases of beer, stay at home tonight, don't leave!"

In the corridor of the hospital, An Xin was waiting at the door, and Guo Wenjie came out of the intensive care unit and said: "Li Hongwei's skull injury is serious and he is still in a coma. The doctor said it was not optimistic. What are your thoughts on the masked man? ”

Meng Yu recalled that the masked man who beat Li Hongwei seemed to know him, as if he had a deep hatred. I think the murderer definitely didn't want Li Hongwei to survive. Can you reveal some false news? Let's just say that Li Hongwei is very likely to wake up. The murderer will definitely not be able to sit still. ”

"Hatred? Isn't that Gao Qiqiang's biggest suspicion? However, Li Hongwei can't be used as bait just to catch someone, even if he is a suspect, this is too dangerous. ”

An Xin said: "Then I'll go to Gao Qiqiang's house to find out when it is dawn." ”

After a knock on the door, the nanny opened the door of Gao's house, and An Xin and Lu Han stood outside.

An Xin showed his documents: "The criminal police team of the Municipal Bureau, looking for Gao Qiqiang." ”

The babysitter took them into the living room.

When An Xin smelled it, there was a heavy smell of alcohol in the room.

Gao Qiqiang came out in pajamas and with a head like a bird's nest, as if he hadn't woken up yet. "What's the matter, brother, come to me early in the morning?"

"How much did you drink with such a big smell of alcohol in the house?"

"I want to think about it...... Two bottles of white and four cases of beer. I started drinking it at seven o'clock last night, and I drank it until two or three o'clock in the morning. ”

"You drank so much alone?"

"How can I have such a good amount of alcohol, my brother, Xiaolong, and Xiaohu are all here, and we drink together."

An Xin nodded: "Are they all there?" They are all called out, and something is asked of you. ”

Zhao Lidong's car was parked quietly on the seawall.

Li Xiang, dressed in civilian clothes, appeared, opened the car door, and got into the back seat.

Secretary Wang was sitting in the back seat waiting for Li Xiang.

Li Xiang asked, "What's the matter with calling me out?" ”

"Vice Mayor Zhao wants you to do a little favor." As he spoke, Secretary Wang took out a file bag and handed it to Li Xiang, which contained a personal information and a photo.

The man in the photo is in his forties, wearing heavy glasses and looking bookish.

"This person is from the municipal government research office, and his name is Tan Siyan. He recently wrote a lot of black materials about Vice Mayor Zhao and handed them over to the province, and they were reported in real name. ”

"I heard about it, but because I didn't have any real evidence, I didn't pay attention to it."

"Keeping such people who destroy unity will affect the prestige of the leadership, and how can we carry out our work without prestige?"

"What does Vice Mayor Zhao want to do?"

"Shut him up and get into a traffic accident or commit suicide."

"Give me some time to stay out of the way."

"Give you time, but not too long, you are professional."

The Gao brothers and the Tang brothers sat opposite An Xin and Lu Han, and the four of them all looked like they were hungovers and didn't wake up.

An Xin asked, "You've been here since seven o'clock last night, right?" ”

Gao Qisheng nodded: "Yes, yes, we ate together and drank a lot." Is it over? I'm going back to sleep. ”

"Gao Qisheng, where did the injury on your face come from?"

Gao Qisheng was stunned for a moment, seemed to be sober up a lot, and said hesitantly: "I ......"

Gao Qiqiang hurriedly said, "I beat it." ”

"Oh, why did you hit him?"

Gao Qiqiang said: "If you drink too much, your brothers quarrel, it's a common thing. ”

An Xin nodded.

Gao Qiqiang stood at the door and waved goodbye to An Xin.

An Xin walked towards the police car and whispered to Lu Han: "Go and adjust the nearby surveillance to see what time these people came." ”

"You suspect they are lying?"

"I only asked Gao Qiqiang one question - how much he drank yesterday, but he rushed to tell the time of the party. It was self-defeating to prove that he had no time to commit the crime in such a hurry. focuses on Gao Qisheng, most of the drugs and Li Hongwei's affairs have something to do with him. If he hadn't made a big mistake, how could he have provoked Gao Qiqiang to beat him? ”

Li Youtian stood at the door of the intensive care unit, begging Shi Wei who was guarding the door: "I'm his father, just let me take a look at the child!" ”

Shi Wei said: "He was involved in the kidnapping and was an important suspect. When he wakes up, he will be questioned by us. Go back and you'll be notified when the results are available. ”

Li Youtian shuffled back to the village committee, and the sun dragged his figure on the ground.

Li Shan was the only one sitting in the village committee, and when he saw Li Youtian coming back, Li Shan hurriedly stood up and asked, "Branch secretary, have you seen grandeur?" ”

"Grandeur has made a big deal this time! We all know that our village and Secretary Meng of the district party committee are not dealing with each other, and this Liangzi can't be solved! ”

"I'll go talk to Li Xiang!"

"Li Shan, there is really a big thing to entrust to you right now, and only you can do it. At this point, I can't be the secretary anymore, I want to entrust you with thousands of people in this Mang Village, and in the future, you will be the village party secretary. ”

"Branch...... Brother Arida, you have been a branch secretary for most of your life, if you are not a branch secretary, what are you going to do? ”

"We have all been harmed by Gao Qi to this point today, and my son is almost gone, I want to give up this old life and fight him to the end!"

In Meng Yu's bedroom, An Xin looked at everything in front of her and said: "You have also won the Best Journalist Award, Mandarin first-class A, the leader of the new media front." I didn't expect you to do so well in Beijing. Is this to pack up and take back to Beijing? ”

Meng Yu shook his head: "No, just clean up." I always wanted to tell them that I was doing well in Beijing and that I could be a good journalist without being under their protection. The first time I got it back, I took my mom on the balcony for a photoshoot. I said, 'You're smiling,' and she laughed so hard. I now know that these things are of no use to her at all. Look at our cabinets, the cabinets are full of my dad's awards. The door on the lower floor was my mother's stuff from her youth. My mother loves cleanliness very much, and she has to clean it every day, but this cabinet is not wiped, and she especially doesn't like this cabinet. My mom said she wouldn't be happy even if my dad's certificate was put on the whole wall, and my certificate was put on it. I found out that my mother was so sick. I don't know if the more trophies I win, the worse her high blood pressure gets. I put it away and don't want to put it on the table anymore. Six years ago, on the day my dad took off his police uniform, he locked himself in his study all night without eating or drinking. The next morning, I saw that his eyes were swollen, and it was the first time I had seen my dad like this. He went to Qinghua District to be the secretary of the district party committee, in fact, all for my mother. Do you have time in two days? Take me to the airport one more time, and I'll have to go back to Beijing again. ”

"What do you mean?"

"I said hello to the editor-in-chief and resigned, this time I went to say goodbye to my colleagues, and by the way, I went through the resignation procedures, and I won't leave in the future."

The door of Li Youtian's house was wide open, and the table was full of wine and snacks. The group of young people who usually followed Li Hongwei sat around the table, Li Youtian sat in the first seat, and everyone was so drunk that their eyes were bloody.

Li Youtian picked up the cup: "Everyone here today is surnamed Li!" You call me a brother, call me an uncle, do you know how the word mangs in our village came from? It's a bandit on the sea! Our village was originally a fishing village, and our ancestors were soldiers when they came out, and they were people when they entered, and they were all engaged in the business of robbing houses and houses! Later, he was recruited by the imperial court, confiscated the knives and guns, and moved the whole village inland. There was a soldier stationed next to it, looking at our ancestors day and night, and the village was named Mang Village. It has been passed down to this day, hundreds of years, and the blood of the ancestors is still not in you?! ”

"In!"

"Gao Qiqiang is riding on our heads and! Kill our people! Grab our land! What would have happened if our ancestors were still around? ”

The young men said in unison, "Kill him!" ”

Li Youtian smashed the wine glass in his hand on the ground.

The young people followed his example and smashed the cup, and the sound of "ping-pong" on the ground was loud.

The game hall is very lively, and the machines are basically not idle.

The group of youths from Mang Village broke in violently.

The leader took out a brick from his bosom and smashed the screen of the machine in front of him.

There was chaos in the game hall, and the security guards at the stadium came up to maintain order.

The young men took out sticks from their arms, grabbed the security guards and beat them.

An Xin was still in the information department to check the surveillance video near the scrap collection station, and Jiang Chao walked in. "Brother An, I just took over the case, you may be interested. There are people in the arcade of the mall who gather to fight. The police station went there to check, but I didn't expect that there was a casino hidden in the game hall, so they called us over. We brought the people back to check, and the people who went to smash the field were all people from Mang Village. The last time we went to Mang Village to rescue the hostages, they were mixed up with Li Hongwei, Zhang Daqing, and Zhang Xiaoqing. ”

"Why are they making trouble?"

"It's said that a friend lost all of them in the casino, and they came to vent their anger for their friend. Do you want to go to the trial in person? ”

"I'd like to meet the casino owner."

In the interrogation room, Jiang Chao was in charge of recording.

An Xin took a glass of water and put it in front of the boss with a pleasant face. "Tell me, who's the real boss of the casino?"

The boss had just taken a sip of water and choked on it when he heard this. "Officer, since you know how to do it, do you think I can say it?"

An Xin waved her hand: "It doesn't matter if you don't say it, I'll go out and inquire." Or maybe I'll just say it for you, the boss's surname is Gao, right? ”

The boss's expression changed, but he immediately returned to normal.

An Xin said: "I looked at your ID card, and I lived in the same building with the original Tang Xiaolong and Tang Xiaohu brothers in Jiuchang Street. I really don't understand, is it appropriate to go to jail for someone else for a few dollars? How do you explain to your family? ”

The boss was silent.

Gao Qiqiang stood in the parking space and waited for a long time before his car drove away.

Tang Xiaolong jumped down from the cab and was busy opening the door for him. "I'm sorry, Brother Qiang! The casino you handed over to me was swept by the police. ”

Gao Qiqiang was stunned for a moment: "So hidden, how was it discovered?" ”

"A group of people came to Mang Village to smash the field and summoned the police."

"If something happened to Li Hongwei, it must be that Li Youtian, an old thing, is taking revenge on us. If he moves your field, he just calculates that we don't dare to make trouble. By the way, was the bald man dealt with in the game hall? ”

"Yes. I checked and nothing was left. According to the old Mo's teaching, I took all the hydrogen oxide and wiped it all over again. ”

"Where's the car that transports the bodies?"

"I drove into the field that night and burned it, and the case reported yesterday said that the car was lost."

On the surveillance screen of the Information Section, Tang Xiaohu's car was driving out of the intersection. "This is Tang Xiaohu's car." Lu Han said.

An Xin looked at the picture: "Shouldn't Tang Xiaohu be drinking at Gao Qiqiang's house that day?" How did his car end up in the arcade? Isn't this a blatant lie? ”

Lu Han said: "I asked him, and he said that the car was lost. Tang Xiaohu has two cars, this one is not often driven, and he doesn't know when he lost it, so he came to report it a few days later. ”

The video continues to play, and Lao Mo's refrigerated truck appears in the frame.

An Xin pouted: "This reason is also ...... Wait a minute! What kind of car is this? ”

Everybody came up and watched.

Lu Han said: "It seems to be a refrigerated truck, which is often used in the refrigerated fresh business." ”

An Xin said: "Why is it so familiar? I think I've seen ...... somewhere."

Lu Han clicked the mouse a few times and brought up another video. "This is a section of the road that we monitored before we arrived at the scrap yard."

An Xin suddenly pointed to an inconspicuous position and asked, "This one?" ”

When you zoom in, the outline of the refrigerated truck becomes clear.

Lu Han said: "Hundreds of cars, you can actually remember them?" ”

"I've watched this video more than a dozen times. Hey, can you adjust the license plate clearly? ”

The technician said, "No problem, leave it to me." ”

Li Shan sent Li Youtian out of the village committee office. "Brother Arita, I've known it in just two days, this book is really bad! Today, everyone wants to ask for more demolition money, but fortunately, you can help you come up with ideas. Your ability to drag on and make trouble is really amazing, tell me what you need in the future! If there is anything grandiose, Li Xiang is also your son! ”

Li Youtian waved his hand: "No need, I plan to turn myself in." I'm going to sit in prison until I die, and I'm going to pull down all those who hurt us!" ”

In the conference room of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, Guo Wenjie presided over the meeting, and An Xin distributed printed materials for refrigerated trucks to everyone present. "On the night of the incident, the refrigerated truck with the license plate number 'Hai B75233' appeared at a number of locations related to the case. The first appearance was around 11 o'clock at night, opposite the community of drug dealer Ah Cheng. The second appearance was an hour later, at around 0:00 a.m. the next morning, at the intersection of the arcade. The third time was at 0:23 a.m., on the bridge along the river leading to the scrap yard in the city. Therefore, I have enough reason to suspect that the person sitting in this refrigerated truck is the person who attacked Li Hongwei. ”

Guo Wenjie said: "The license plate number has been determined, and the driver will be summoned immediately." ”

An Xin said: "Director, when I was investigating the murder case at the Mangcun construction site, Li Qing revealed a piece of information to me when he was sober. His father said that there was a person on the construction site who often talked to him, and there was a fishy smell on him. This clue is too vague to distinguish between truth and falsehood, let alone to point out the direction of the investigation. But judging from the current situation, the person who attacked Li Hongwei is likely to be this person who is full of fishy smell, that is, the murderer of Li Qing's father! ”

"So this person could be a professional killer?"

An Xin said: "Yes." I'm afraid that a general summons will startle the snake, so it's better to arrest him directly. ”

"Contact the SWAT team and act now!"

Lao Mo suddenly woke up from his dream, sweating profusely.

Outside the window, sirens shrill in their voices.

Lao Mo subconsciously pulled out the fish-killing knife from the pillow, leaned against the wall, and looked out nervously.

In the fishing village, a team of special police officers hid behind a bunker and slowly approached a private house.

An Xin and the captain of the SWAT team stood at the head of the team and raised their hands to signal the team to stop in place.

After a moment, the voice of the scout came over the intercom: "The target has been confirmed, it is in the house." ”

An Xin picked up the walkie-talkie: "Attention units, arrive at the designated location!" ”

The SWAT officers surrounded the houses.

"Action!"

The SWAT immediately smashed open the door with a smashing hammer and rushed in with a spear. "Don't move!"

Inside the house, the SWAT officers firmly controlled a middle-aged man.

An Xin shone a flashlight on the man's face, his beard was unshaven, and he was not Lao Mo.

The man looked puzzled: "What are you doing?" ”

The siren gradually faded away, and Lao Mo stood in the middle of the courtyard, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.

There is a carport in the yard under which the refrigerated trucks are parked.

Lao Mo came to the front of the car with a flashlight and a wrench, and the flashlight shone on the license plate, which was "Hai B75233".

Lao Mo took off the license plate with a wrench, stepped on the ground, and broke it with his foot.

Outside the house, An Xin looked at the refrigerated truck, and the license plate was also "Hai B75233".

The dog came running with a ball of fishing nets. "Brother An, I found it! Two small-eyed trawls, at first glance, are forbidden fishing gear. ”

"Did the SWAT be dispatched to catch illegal fishing?"

Lao Mo went back to the house, tiptoed to his daughter's bed, sat outside the mosquito net, picked up the fan next to the bed and gently fanned her.

Huang Yao said: "Dad, are you having nightmares again? You've been having nightmares lately, and I'm worried about you. ”

Lao Mo said softly: "Silly girl, don't worry about me, sleep." ”

Huang Yao smiled and fell asleep again.

An Xin and the other team members yawned and returned to the office area to find Li Xiang actually in the office. Li Xiang beckoned to An Xin and motioned for him to come in.

An Xin entered the house angrily. "Use of prohibited fishing gear, illegal fishing, fishing during closed fishing periods...... Messy confession. ”

"What about the murders?"

"There was no time to commit the crime, and we suspect that the vehicle used by the murderer was a deck plate."

"Don't be discouraged, at least there's a refrigerated truck."

"Captain Li, can you explain to your subordinates what you are busy with every day? I'm worried about you! I don't care about working all day, I always run to the city, do you know what people say about you behind your back? ”

"If you have an opinion, report it directly to the top! I think the team is very good now, the director trusts you, and the comrades support you, so it's almost time to settle the team, sooner or later. ”

"Do you want to be an official and want to go crazy? Don't get involved with Zhao Lidong again! ”

"If you can trust me, let me do it my way."

At the gate of the city hall, a man in his thirties, wearing glasses, dressed stereotypedly, and with a strong bookish atmosphere. This person is Tan Siyan, who is riding a small electric donkey at the moment, driving out of the gate of the city government and politely greeting the armed police standing guard.

Tan Siyan rode to a deserted area, and a Santana that had been following him suddenly accelerated, pinning him to the side of the road, and he had to stop.

Li Xiang, who was dressed in civilian clothes, got out of the car and was menacing.

Tan Siyan said: "How do you drive? ”

Li Xiang took out his ID: "Police." Please cooperate with my work and show your ID card. ”

"The police are amazing! If you are reasonable, I will cooperate, why do you want me to cooperate with you if you are unreasonable? ”

Li Xiang reached out and twisted Tan Siyan's arm, handcuffed him, and stuffed him into Santana. locked Tan Siyan's little electric donkey on the side of the road again, and then got into the car.

Li Xiang was expressionless and started the car to leave.

Li Xiang dragged Tan Siyan up to an unfinished building.

Tan Siyan chattered all the way, but Li Xiang ignored it.

All the way up to the top of the building, the innocent Tan Siyan didn't seem to feel the impending danger.

"You don't have to say a word, save some strength to shout for help."

Before the words fell, Li Xiang punched Tan Siyan in the stomach, and Tan Siyan knelt down in pain.

"It's not a good habit to write materials and report at every turn."

"You were sent by Zhao Lidong?"

"Vice Mayor Zhao asked me to say hello to you, work with peace of mind in the future, don't keep staring at the leader, always want to make some waves."

"What if I don't say yes?"

"The grass here is half a person's height, and no one knows about it for half a year."

"As long as I can't fall to my death, I'm going to report it! Not only report Zhao Lidong, but also you! The social ethos is what you corrupt. ”

"I'm still hard-mouthed, I'll let go!"

Tan Siyan gritted his teeth, turned his heart sideways, and waited for death.

Unexpectedly, Li Xiang pulled him back and untied the handcuffs.

"I'm sorry, I just tested you. Since you are really not afraid of death, cooperate with me and bring down Zhao Lidong! ”

"You?"

"You need evidence that Zhao Lidong took bribes, I have it!"
