Chapter 48 Chapter Forty Seven

"Is the case going to be closed soon?" Xu Ce asked after Gao Dong spent half an hour talking about today's situation. Gao Dong replied frankly: "I am worrying about this matter now, and the case will be closed without any problem, but I am afraid... I am afraid that other things will happen in the future." Xu Ce smiled and said: "Even if the case is closed now, there will be no other problems in the future. If there is someone behind Lin Xiaofeng who has left no clues from the beginning to the end and has been hiding behind the scenes, then after this matter is over, there will be no other problems. , he will not show his true colors anymore. He spent so much time hiding himself, and finally waited until the case was closed, and the police passed by him without suspecting him. Of course, he will not commit crimes again and let you investigate them again."

Gao Dong was taken aback, and said, "So, your suggestion is that I can close the case?" "No, this is not a suggestion, it's just an objective evaluation of the current situation, and the result depends only on you." Xu Ce smiled, "My old classmate, I want to ask, is the truth important to you, or the official career?" important?" Gao Dong obviously didn't expect him to ask such a sensitive question so abruptly, he pondered for a moment, coughed, and said, "I don't really understand what you mean." "After listening to what you said just now, my impression is that if the case is closed now, it will be a good thing for you, the task force, your team, the county government and other related and unrelated units?"

"Well...you can put it that way." "If the case is not closed for the time being and the investigation continues, there is a possibility that no results can be found, and the case will still be closed with the current conclusion?" "Yes, that's right." "If the case is closed later, will it have a big impact on you personally?" Gao Dong narrowed his eyes slightly, and told him frankly: "It's not big. The murder happened before the special case team I led arrived in Baixiang, and my team has no responsibility. The only people who are directly responsible are the County Public Security Bureau and The county government, they hope to go over quickly. But it took some time to close the case, and the results did not find anything at that time, I would be a little embarrassed, but I can also say that it is based on the principle of caution to restore the case better. Looking back Come to think of it, if it wasn't for those college students who brought the corpse ahead of time, but waited for me to arrive at Baixiang, hehe, then I would also be responsible, and I'm afraid I would be eager to close the case right now."

"We use the worst result. Assuming that nothing more innovative is found in the end, we can only close the case according to the current conclusion. Do you think you can personally accept it? When can the case be closed at the latest?" Gao Dong thought for a while, and said, "The case will be closed no matter what." "Well, that is to say, there is only a little over a week left." Gao Dong was puzzled, "What do you want to do?" "If you're willing to delay closing the case for a few more days, I think it's possible to find something more innovative. —Of course, I'm just saying it's possible. It's purely probabilistic. It's also possible that nothing else can be found in the end. "

"so what?" "The only result I know now is that besides Lin Xiaofeng, there must be someone behind this case." Gao Dong frowned, and asked seriously: "Why are you so sure? Is it because we think that Lin Xiaofeng's criminal motives are not strong enough, and the criminal process cannot be restored?" Xu Ce said: "No, the so-called criminal motives are not important to me. When a person is dead, the criminal motives you restore will always be 'possible' criminal motives, that is, speculation. What I insist on is only all the facts. , From a factual point of view, draw a conclusion. The two of us have already discussed the link of drugs. Using drugs to control a car of people, there is no way to control the onset time and drug efficiency. This is a very important one. Doubtful."

He paused, then continued: "Let's analyze Lin Xiaofeng's criminal attitude again. Did he want to run away after killing someone, or did he want to die together from the beginning and commit suicide after killing someone? From this point, his entire crime There are many contradictions in the different performances in the activity. He designed the Buick car to disappear from the service area, which shows that he does not want to be found. He left footprints on the old road, which shows that he does not want to hide. He even left in the drawer He took a bottle of drugs and clearly told the police that he was the murderer. At this time, he didn't want to hide. But after the crime happened, he didn't contact his family from the beginning to the end. On this point, he didn't want to be discovered. In the end he He chose to commit suicide and left behind evidence. The criminal attitude from beginning to end is contradictory, which is too strange."

Gao Dong admitted: "Indeed, you are right. Although the chain of evidence for Lin Xiaofeng's crime is sufficient, after careful consideration, many points are full of doubts." Xu Ce said: "Actually, in the final analysis, if you want to find out the final truth, the key lies in the disappearance of the gram car in the service area. I can be sure that there are problems in your investigation of this, which led to the failure to find out the results. If possible, you can help the service Every link of the district investigation, do it again. Of course, this is just my suggestion, and all decisions, including when it is most appropriate to close the case, are up to you, old classmate."

After finishing the call, Gao Dong lit a cigarette and looked up at the ceiling. Do you really want to re-investigate? He fell into a long thought.
