Choices are something that each of us has to face in our lives.

Some options are harmless, such as choosing between bread and steamed buns for breakfast.

There are some choices that can change a person's life, such as big exams and getting married and having children.

And some choices can make the difference between life and death, just like the choice of an EOD team member every time they face a bomb, whether to cut the blue line or cut the red line.

Xiao Xuan, a hacker from the Technical Investigation Department, once told me that there is a game that comes with the computer called Minesweeper, and after sweeping all the grids, the last two remaining grids must have one of them as thunder and one as security, and at this time, they will face a final choice.

"So, making choices can be said to be the occupational disease of our bomb makers, and we not only like to make choices ourselves, but we prefer to let others make choices." Meng Bochao said lightly.

Immediately afterwards, he added: "Especially when I see the other party hesitating and uneasy in front of two choices, I have great pleasure in my heart." ”

What a psychopath.

Of course, this is just what is in my heart, and I don't say it.

Because, every perpetrator is a psychopath.

However, in the heart of every ordinary person, hasn't there been any perverted thoughts at a certain moment?

Meng Bochao said to us very sincerely, but we didn't think that this "psychology of making choices" would bring us any substantial help in arresting Meng Xiang.

Perhaps, we still haven't thought of any key connections.

Meng Bochao talked to us a lot again, but it didn't really help us to arrest Meng Xiang.

This Meng Bochao, who is obsessed with making bombs, especially after seven years of prison life, no longer knows anything about Meng Xiang.

Perhaps, he never really cared about getting to know his son.

Even if he knew Meng Xiang, after Meng Xiang's contact with the six-pointed star organization, he didn't understand it.

But in any case, through this conversation between us and Meng Bochao, we have a clearer understanding of Meng Xiang.

In the process of solving the case, I have never been afraid of having a lot of clues, and even when it comes to the final arrest of the suspect, many clues are not used.

But before that, maybe any seemingly useless clue will give us a huge inspiration, so as to find a breakthrough in the detection of the case.

Officer Wang and I left the Ningzhou City Prison and prepared to return to the Ningzhou City Public Security Bureau.

On the way, Officer Wang suddenly asked me, "How is Xue Hang now?" ”

"The doctor said that Xue Hang's vital signs are very stable, if nothing happens, he can be transferred out of the ICU after a few days of observation, and Su Yumei is currently taking care of him." I said in a deep voice.

Officer Wang was silent for a while, let out a long sigh, and fell into deep self-blame again: "It's all my fault, if it is that arrest, I will ...... again."

I hurriedly interrupted him, didn't let him continue, and instead said, "That's what we do, every day we face murder, and every time we face the murderer. To put it bluntly, we all work with our heads hanging on our belts, and we all live days of licking blood at the tip of a knife, don't blame yourself too much, the current result is acceptable, perhaps, and the best. ”

"Qin Mu, thank you." Officer Wang suddenly said with some affection.

"You're welcome, Policeman Wang."

After saying that, we all laughed.

The two iron-blooded men also have a tender side.

After returning to the Ningzhou City Public Security Bureau, the Public Security Bureau was extremely deserted, all the police forces had been scattered, and the criminal police team only left an arrest team.

This time, Meng Xiang made trouble, and our police force was simply not enough.

In the office of the serious crime team, only Lin Zifan and Li Meng, now Xue Hang is injured, and Jiang Tingbai is busy cooperating with the patrol special police EOD team to do bomb fragment research.

In contrast, I was fine, but Officer Wang became a real commander of the light pole.

"Meng Xiang still has no news?" I asked earnestly.

Lin Zifan shook his head and said: "The entire Ningzhou City has strengthened patrols and vigilance, but it is still difficult to find a person in a huge Ningzhou City, and we also have to deal with bomb attacks that may occur at any time." ”

"Everyone has worked hard during this time, and after the case is over, everyone will have a meal together, and Officer Wang will treat you." I settled down and said seriously.

Officer Wang did not shirk this time, but raised his voice and patted his chest: "Yes, I have a treat, please have a big meal!" ”

At this moment, a criminal policeman walked up to Officer Wang with an inspection report: "Team Wang, the business has been locked and can be arrested." ”

"Okay, then let's bring someone over." Officer Wang said very naturally.

However, the criminal policeman's face was a little embarrassed, and he said to Officer Wang: "Let the arrest team go?" ”

Officer Wang immediately shook his head and rejected the proposal: "No, the arrest team is left to arrest Meng Xiang, and it can't be moved." ”

"However, there is no one in the criminal police team, and even the police have gone out to patrol and guard, and there is no one in the bureau...... "The criminal police officer said with some embarrassment.

I listened to what they said, and I was puzzled and asked, "What business?" Who are you going to arrest? ”

"Oh, remember the two people who survived the explosion in the six-man studio? They went to the first floor to pick up the takeaway, and the takeaway was poisonous! The laboratory found dioxide in the food at the scene of the crime. Arsenic, the main ingredient in arsenic, is suspected to be artificially poisoned. Officer Wang said lightly.

"What?! Poisoned?! I let out an exclamation.

I really can't imagine that there is a case within a case in which the explosion occurred in the six-person studio.

"After all, when the bombing just happened, the six-person studio was the direct victim, so the direction of the investigation at that time was to investigate through the social relations of the six-person studio, and the takeaway was naturally used as physical evidence, and we also brought it back to the police force. It wasn't until Meng Xiang's appearance later that we focused all our attention on Meng Xiang. Officer Wang said to me seriously.

"So your criminal police team has never given up on the investigation of the six-man studio?" I asked, surprised.

Officer Wang nodded and said, "Yes, because there are still many doubts about this sudden explosion, and there are many doubts about the way the bomb was detonated, so we have been investigating this matter." Later, Meng Xiang appeared, and your serious crime team has been busy dealing with Meng Xiang, so I didn't tell you about it. ”

I looked at the serious Officer Wang and said with a smile: "Thanks to your criminal police team, you have not given up on the case of the six-person studio, otherwise you would have missed a poisoning case." ”

Officer Wang also smiled and said to me: "This is what the criminal police team should do, if you are still the captain of the criminal police team, you will not let go of that takeaway." ”

I smiled and said no more.

Because I can't guarantee that I won't miss the takeaway, but I dare to guarantee that after Meng Xiang is arrested and brought to justice, when the whole case is sorted out, the takeaway will be tested.

"So you've locked up the killer now?" I asked suddenly.

Officer Wang nodded and said, "We have locked down the takeaway merchant according to the takeaway order, and the motive for the murder is clear and the evidence is conclusive." ”
