Chapter 17: A Sudden Murder
The rivalry in the council is becoming more and more fierce, but for ordinary people, it is not as interesting as the intimate matters of the neighbors in the street.
Riding on a horse, Zhang Mao walked leisurely on the streets, performing his functions as a mounted policeman.
The people passing by next to him were already familiar with these mounted policemen with loaded guns, and they were not afraid because they were loaded with loaded guns, if there were brave people who would come forward directly and say a few words to Zhang Mao, Zhang Mao didn't care much, so he naturally said a few words.
No, he had just walked a few steps when he saw a familiar figure in the distance, although the person was physically disabled, but he was carrying a basket of things, and he seemed to be struggling.
Patting the horse and catching up, Zhang Mao shouted: "Chuanzhi, why are you only alone today?
"You mean Mu Mu, she's studying at Huaxia Women's College now, so she doesn't have time to come out. After all, Huaxia Women's College has always been strict, and if there are no special requirements, it will definitely not be able to come out. Putting down the things behind him, Wang Chuanzhi touched the sweat on his forehead, for ordinary people, it is naturally easy to carry this thing, but he is a disabled person, so it is naturally much more difficult.
Zhang Mao smiled: "It turns out that I ran to Huaxia Women's College? No wonder I haven't seen this little girl in recent days." If she can enter this Huaxia Women's College, her future will be much greater. I'm afraid that when I see her in the future, I will also call sir!"
"Thank you for your words. ”
Wang Chuanzhi smiled, the most proud thing in this life is that he has such a daughter, and he can see her thrive with her own eyes, so he naturally has to be very happy.
Just as the two of them were laughing, there was a "boom" sound, like thunder, which made the entire ground tremble.
The surrounding crowd was stunned for a moment, and they all looked into the distance together in silence.
"What's going on?"
Zhang Mao was surprised, and quickly turned his head to look into the distance, and saw that about three miles away from here, a thick smoke rose into the air, and he didn't know what was happening.
"Go ahead, don't let people lose their lives, you know?"
Wang Chuanzhi instructed, Zhang Mao raised the front hooves of the war horse under his crotch, immediately took him out of this place, and quickly ran into the distance.
After 30 years of development, Chang'an City has a huge area and a population of more than one million, in order to maintain law and order in the city, these mounted police have also been brought out, just to be able to arrive at the scene in time after the incident and control the occurrence of the situation.
After walking for about ten minutes, Zhang Mao had already arrived at the local area, only to find that the place where the incident occurred was located in a textile factory.
In addition to him, there were six or seven mounted policemen guarding the entrance of the textile factory and various main roads to prevent the disturbed people from breaking into it and damaging the scene of the accident.
Seeing this, Zhang Mao instructed the mounted policemen: "Immediately block the scene and not let anyone enter or leave." Also, immediately send someone to notify the police station and ask them to mobilize the police as soon as possible. After all, this accident is too serious for us to complete. ”
Soon, the rider sped away from the place and ran to the police station.
At this moment, from the textile factory, a person ran out in a panic, and when he saw several mounted policemen now, he seemed to see Guanyin, and hurriedly shouted: "Quick, save me!" His face was covered with blood, and his clothes were also ignited by fire, as if there was some demon behind him, and he looked panicked.
"Don't worry, I'll protect you. ”
Zhang Mao was overjoyed, and immediately rode his horse to catch up, wanting to save this person so as to figure out the cause of the accident.
"Bang!"
While he was on his way, a gunshot rang out from the textile mill, and the man fell to the ground.
Zhang Mao was stunned, hurriedly grabbed the war horse, and shouted in a low voice: "Who is it?" The other six or seven mounted policemen were also stunned, and quickly took off the gun they were carrying behind them, looking like they were waiting for battle.
He thought it was just an ordinary accident, but now he heard gunshots, which really scared him.
Soon, a middle-aged man walked out of the gate, this man was holding a gun in his hand, which should be the murderer of the previous person.
This gun Zhang Mao recognized that it was a gun originally developed by the Red Phoenix Army, which could not use fixed ammunition, and the loading bullet needed to be stuffed from the muzzle, and it did not have a burst function.
"Stop me, or we'll shoot." ”
Although they knew that the opponent's gun should have no bullets, including Zhang Mao, the mounted police present were extremely nervous and aimed at the man.
The man smiled softly, directly threw the gun in his hand aside, and then squatted down with both hands raised: "Don't worry, I'm not here to surrender, so I won't resist." ”
Zhang Mao's heart was relieved, and people stepped forward to tie up the other party, and the gun that was dropped was also picked up, ready to be used as evidence, but he looked at the murderer, but he felt more and more scared in his heart, and immediately sent an order to the police station, so that Wang Lu could bring enough people to control the situation in front of him, and naturally he was also curious about the murderer.
"What's going on with this guy, he's not afraid of us at all?"
Although the murderer was caught, but inside the textile factory, there was smoke and dust, and bursts of blazing fire continued to emerge from the window, even if people wanted to get close, they could not get close, and it was only possible to end when the fire gradually dissipated.
Zhang Mao was anxious, relying on the fact that he was also a warrior, so he forcibly broke into it, trying to rescue one or two people, but when he stepped into it, he found that there were more than a dozen corpses lying on the ground, this corpse was male and female, old and young, and there were knife marks and guns on it, which was obviously a premeditated murder.
Seeing the fierce fire, Zhang Mao had no choice but to retreat, watching the entire textile factory be swallowed up by the flames in the sky.
After another quarter of an hour, Wang Lu also arrived at the scene.
"What's going on?"
Seeing the scene in front of him, Wang Lu was also frightened, this was the biggest accident he had encountered since he took office.
A whole textile factory, I am afraid that there are more than 100 people inside, such a heavy loss, but the biggest loss of the Red Phoenix Army since the Northern Expedition.
Zhang Mao shook his head and said helplessly: "I'm sorry, I don't know." Pointing to the tied man, he added, "It's not enough that we caught him here, maybe he can know the whole thing." ”
"Is that him?"
After glancing at the other party deeply, Wang Lu frowned.
Such a big tragedy happened during his tenure, and if he couldn't give the people a proper explanation, he was afraid that his career would also end.
"Let's bring this man back first. ”
"Boom", after a period of scorching, the house in front of me was no longer bearable, and suddenly collapsed and became a pile of broken bricks and tiles.
Only then did the others dare to step inside, and the remaining mounted police began to sort out the scene, including the burned corpses, as well as the middle-aged man who had been shot before.
These things are all important bases for sentencing later, so naturally they should be properly kept!
After Wang Lu returned, the entire police station was no longer as leisurely as before, and all of them began to operate, trying their best to investigate the truth of this incident.
Naturally, Zhang Mao could not avoid being sent out to investigate the casualties of the textile factory.
"Did you find out?"
Dragging his tired body, Zhang Mao walked into the police station and saw Wang Lujian.
He smiled helplessly: "The information about the victim has been fully investigated. Here's their file!" In order to get these information, he didn't close his eyes for a day and a night, if it wasn't for the fact that he could solve the case in time, why did he come to the police station at this time?
Wang Lu picked it up and looked at it, and immediately shouted, "Seventeen victims, are there no victims?"
"At the beginning of the incident, the textile factory was in a state of shutdown for maintenance, so no workers stayed inside, only the director of the factory, Jin Kaifu, that is, the family of the person who was shot and killed, stayed in it. Zhang Mao replied.
"What about the cause of the accident?" Wang Lu frowned slightly, looking at the information in his hand.
On top of this stack of materials, all the victims have a considerable relationship with this Jin Kaifu, or their children, or their wives, concubines, or their cousins and cousins, it can be said that all the children died here.
"According to the situation at the scene, it should have been a boiler explosion, which caused the fire to spread. At the beginning of the incident, they were in the wing of the factory, and all around them were covered in flames, so they did not escape, and were killed one by one. Zhang Mao showed a little sadness.
With such heavy casualties, it was the first time in the entire Chang'an City.
As a witness, he still shuddered and was amazed at the man's brutal methods.
What is it that would have caused such an act?
Wang Lu's forehead was full of wrinkles, and he suddenly raised his head and looked at Zhang Mao: "Vendetta?" But do you think you can do it with that one person?"
"It shouldn't be possible. Just from the dead bodies, we could make out the scars from at least three different weapons. From this alone, it can be concluded that he was not the only murderer present. Zhang Mao shook his head, feeling a little discouraged: "It's just that the man has been holding his teeth tightly and not saying anything." So far, I haven't been able to find any clues. ”
Although the murderer has been controlled by them, Zhang Mao didn't think that he could do it alone, so he naturally interrogated the other party overnight, hoping to get some news.
But that person also has some backbone, he has been gritting his teeth all the time and not revealing anything, which makes him feel discouraged.
Wang Lu sneered, and ordered again: "Continue the search." Since that person dared to do such a thing, he must have a plan. Even if he doesn't open his mouth, he will inevitably leave a corresponding trace. For example, the gun he held was a breakthrough. Through this, you may be able to find out the identity of the other party. When the time comes, you can naturally catch all the other guys. ”
"Yes!"
Zhang Mao's body was straight, and he had made up his mind in his heart that he would definitely catch the other party no matter what.
