Chapter 19 Section 1

The ancient city railway station is full of tourists coming and going, which makes the ancient city, which has always been sluggish, a little bustling.  As the new year is approaching, students in colleges and technical secondary schools are on vacation, and there is an endless stream of people giving off and picking up people inside and outside the station.Cong Ming went straight to the No. 5 bus stop through the crowded crowd.Cong Ming is in his thirties. He is dressed in a police uniform. He looks like a well-trained soldier when he walks. His persistence is all written on his face, and his eyes are never on the way to his goal. Look aside and pause.He wore the school badge of the People's Public Security University on his chest, and his olive green police uniform was particularly eye-catching.When he was waiting for the car, many strange eyes looked at him.Then he heard someone calling his name from a jeep, "Cong Ming, Cong Ming!"

He followed the prestige and saw a jeep driving past him back up in front of him. Xia Xiaoqi poked his head out when the door opened, "Cong Ming, are you on vacation? Get in the car!" "Hi, Xia Xiaoqi!" He happily crossed over with one step, and his striding movements were exactly the movements of a standard soldier who had undergone strict training.  Qin Yizhen drove the car and said hello, Cong Ming asked: "What are you doing, why are you here?"  "What about the Lin Tiange case!" Xia Xiaoqi said.  "What's wrong with Lin Tiange?" Cong Ming asked worriedly and puzzled. 

"You don't know yet? Lin Tiange was shot and killed!" Qin Yizhen said while driving.  "What, what? Say it again!" He subconsciously rubbed his ears, thinking that there was something wrong with his hearing. "Lin Tiange was beaten to death? Don't play tricks with me!"  "You go home and quickly take off the police uniform. Look, there are still police uniforms in our ancient city. You go to school. You are lucky. In the ancient city, three policemen were killed or injured within two and a half months. We are all reborn. Three times!"  Cong Ming suddenly understood why the people on the side of the road looked at him like that just now. 

He remembered that the first meeting between him and Lin Tiange was quite dramatic.It was a professor from Shenyang Criminal Police College who came to give a lecture in the ancient city. Cong Ming went to the cadre school to attend a lecture. He rode his bicycle to the gate of the cadre school and saw a group of children looking for something on the ground.He said what are you looking for?The children raised their heads and rushed to shout "Look for the key!" "What key are you looking for? Whose key is lost?"  "Mine?" Not far away, a tall, well-proportioned young man with slender thighs was talking and preparing to pick the lock. 

Cong Ming hurriedly said: "Don't pry it first, it's a pretty good car, think about it again, where do you usually keep the keys?" "I usually put it in my pocket!" Lin Tiange took out the pocket again and shook his head.  "Think about it again, after you entered this yard today, where have you been digging your pockets?" Cong Ming put the car away and inspired Lin Tiange to remember well, and then he followed Lin Tiange to find all the places he passed.On a whim, he thought of the simulation experiment taught in the detective class. He took out a bunch of keys from his pocket and said, "Look, which one of this bunch does your key look like? This one? Well, let's put it in Take it down, look at it, now let’s throw it on the ground, look again, the key is this color when it falls on the ground, see it clearly! Come on, let’s walk the place you walked again... ..."

Using this method, they really found the lost key. Lin Tiange was very moved. He shook Cong Ming's hand and said, "Brother, thank you!".  In fact, at this time, Cong Ming had already been transferred to the anti-riot team, but he hadn’t reported yet. He joined the army at the age of 15 as a scout, and was demobilized to the Public Security Bureau. He can attend the director's office meeting as a non-voting delegate. He found that the leaders who have worked on the case always speak clearly and clearly, while those who have not worked on the case simply have no right to speak.In his thinking, a policeman is not a policeman unless he has worked as a criminal policeman.A policeman who can't solve a case is not a qualified policeman in the full sense, and he is at best a writer. When the anti-riot team was established in July 1984, he resolutely asked the director to join the anti-riot team. He has been a shooting instructor in the army, and he is still willing to do his old job.For this reason, the director in charge of the office has a lot of opinions on him, and many people don't understand him. They think it's inconceivable that they quit such a stable job as an office secretary and go to a dangerous place like the anti-riot team. ... 

When he reported to the anti-riot team, Lin Tiange was assigned to the anti-riot team together with Xia Xiaoqi, Qin Yizhen, Lu Weidong and other first 17 graduates of the police academy. He and Lin Tiange met again, and Lin Tiange felt very familiar with him.Lin Tiange held Cong Ming's hand and said, "Brother Cong, that time I was looking for the key, I thought you were very kind to others and very serious in your work!" From then on, Lin Tiange kept calling him Brother Cong.Not long after Lin Tiange arrived in the anti-riot team, on a Sunday night in the middle of summer, they made an appointment to go to the auditorium of the military region to watch a movie. Girls, Lin Tiange likes to joke, so he said to Lu Weidong: "Hey, look, does the girl in front of us look like a white-haired witch?" Who is the white-haired witch? Do you know who she is to me?"

Lin Tiange turned around and saw a flesh-faced guy roaring angrily. He said, "Speak up if you have something to say, why are you making a fuss!" Before Lin Tiange finished speaking, the man punched again, Lin Tiange became anxious when he saw it. He was a head taller than that man, and every time he blocked a blow, the punch was hitting the bridge of his nose... That punch broke the bridge of the man's nose. When the man knew that Lin Tiange was a policeman, he went to the Public Security Bureau to file a complaint. Hearing that the family had some backgrounds, the leaders of the Public Security Bureau considered the impact and finally brought Lin Tiange to the police station. Lin Tiange was dispatched from the riot squad to the Zhongshan Road Police Station. 

At that time, being assigned to the city bureau's anti-riot team after graduation was a very glorious and honorable thing for boys. Lin Tiange really felt as if he had plummeted from the city bureau to the police station.Cong Ming and Lin Tiange lived in the same room. Seeing that Lin Tiange was depressed, Cong Ming comforted Lin Tiange and said, "We don't care where we are. We can still do well in the police station. Don't feel like you're cocky when you're assigned here. You won't be able to lift your head when you're assigned to the police station. After a while Years from now, it is uncertain who is right and who is wrong, those who work here may not necessarily do well, and conversely, those who work at the police station are likely to be the first to achieve results...!"

Lin Tiange left under such circumstances.After Lin Tiange left, Chen Mo replaced Lin Tiange and came to the anti-riot team. Chen Mo, Lu Weidong and Cong Ming lived in the same room.  Later, Lin Tiange often came to the anti-riot team to chat with them. Cong Ming said: "Tiange, you, go down and be a policeman. You must first organize the old ladies of the security committee. As long as you prevent crimes, your grades will be very fast. will be revealed!" Cong Ming still remembers that one day, Lin Tiange came to him specially and told him cheerfully, "Brother Cong, I have good news for you, I have joined the party!" Cong Ming was very happy for Lin Tiange, because in their class, Lin Tiange was the first into the party.He patted Lin Tiange on the shoulder and said, "How about it, what the elder brother said is not bad!" Lin Tiange said, "Brother Cong, I am very grateful to you. I have done it, and I have worked hard, my segments are well protected, but there are fewer cases, I did not expect my organizational problems to be solved so quickly!" 

"Do it well! You will achieve even greater achievements." Cong Ming sincerely said his blessings.  When Cong Ming was admitted to the Criminal Investigation Department of Public Security University, Lin Tiange came to see him off, and gave Cong Ming a pen that he had brought with him for many years. The pen is still pinned in his coat pocket. This pen has now become a relic of Lin Tiange... "Cong Ming, let me unload you here?" Qin Yizhen called him.  Cong Ming saw that he had already arrived at the door of his house, and hurriedly said, "Come and sit with me!" Xia Xiaoqi said: "No, I have to investigate quickly!"  "Any clues?" "Do you have any clues? You don't know about the Public Security Bureau. Hundreds of people are coaxing the case on the ground. According to the army's speech, it is called 'big corps combat'. There are so many people, like fish in a mud pond. The conditional case is getting more and more complicated!" Xia Xiaoqi said all the truth.Cong Ming said with deep empathy: "I have long seen that China's criminal investigation system must be reformed. The key to why there are no detectives in China's soil lies in the unreasonable mechanism. Take the case of He Zhanxun a few years ago. Let’s talk about it, how conditional it is to solve the case, and it was delayed by those bureaucrats...Okay, it will take a long time to talk, you guys do your work first, and we will talk later!"  Cong Ming waited for the car to go far away, and he stood motionless on the corridor outside the house, looking thoughtfully at Wanpingshan Park, which is next to the north of the community...  He Zhanxun is a public security policeman from the third section of the Qiaobei Branch. He is about 50 years old, with a slightly fat body and a bald head.In his spare time, he went to a private dance hall every night to help others watch the venue and earn some extra money. On that rainy night in the autumn of 1984, at around 10 o'clock, when he came out of the dance hall and rode his bicycle to the trail next to the side gate of Wanpingshan Park, he was hit on the ground with a brick from behind. The May Fourth pistol was robbed...  The anti-riot team rushed to the scene quickly after receiving the report. In less than 20 minutes, the scene was filled with hundreds of police officers.The big guys stood in the rain and no one dared to speak, all waiting for the leader to make a decision.  Whoever came to the scene went in to have a look. Cong Ming once went to Shenyang to listen to a lecture on on-site protection by the professor of the Criminal Police Academy. The professor's words have always been deeply imprinted in his heart: "The conditions of many crime scenes are good. But it’s all in the hands of our policemen!”  He yelled, "Don't enter the scene before the technician arrives!" No one listened to him.  Director Wei Cheng came in the rain, and a group of people let him into a bungalow at the entrance of the park, which was used as a temporary headquarters on the spot.Then the heads of the branch bureaus and city bureaus all swarmed in to follow.  Not knowing what was being said inside, Cong Ming looked at his watch, 40 minutes had passed, and the headquarters still hadn't moved.Cong Ming was a little anxious. He looked around and found a gap in the back of the boiler room. He suddenly remembered that when he was a child playing in the rockery behind, he found an air-raid shelter under the rockery. For training and preparing for war.He analyzed that it was impossible for the criminal to carry a gun on his body, and he must have hidden in a place that was not easy to be found.Nearby, the rockery and the air-raid shelter at the back are perfect places.  He couldn't bear it anymore and broke into the temporary headquarters, he said, "There is a large group of policemen standing outside, should we divide the work and do it first, or I will take a few people in through the gap and search the mountains..., If it is delayed any longer, the fighter opportunity will be delayed!"  "Didn't you see that the leaders are studying it? Wait outside first!" Gu Wufu waved at him impatiently.  Cong Ming withdrew from the room in embarrassment. As soon as he went out, he heard someone in the room ask: "Who is this! What right does he have to come in and yell!" Someone replied: "The shooting coach of the anti-riot team, this kid is crazy. During the trouble with the 'Er Wang', he picked up a gun in the middle of the night to arrest the 'Er Wang'!" "I heard that his wife divorced him after half a year of marriage. I also heard that the reason why his wife divorced him was that he was not good at that!" "How can such a person be allowed to be the coach of the riot team!" Cong Ming felt that there were a group of mediocre people in the room, and he was too lazy to talk to them.  When He Zhanxun woke up the next day, he recalled: After the man smashed it, he ran away along the gap... In any case, this confirmed Cong Ming's speculation and judgment at the time.  After withdrawing from the anti-riot team, everyone gathered in his hut to discuss He Zhanxun's case, because it was the first case they had filed since the formation of the anti-riot team, and everyone was full of resentment.  "You said, a case has been made, and there are more leaders than the police who solved the case. No one is in charge, and the case has been delayed!" Qin Yizhen was full of complaints, he was a little cold from the rain.  Xia Xiaoqi said: "Human sea tactics, this traditional way of solving crimes really needs to be changed. Everyone intervenes, and no one is responsible!" Chen Mo said: "The reaction ability can't keep up. Even if the reaction ability can catch up, the intelligence level is really poor when you meet such a group of useless leaders!" "Hey, you said it's a heavy rainy day, don't search the mountains quickly, block it and keep up, let's find some bloody bloody bricks on the spot, who can tell the difference between the rain cement soup and blood at night, huh! ?” Lu Weidong snorted angrily, his nose was not his nose and his mouth was not his mouth.  Cong Ming didn't say a word, his heart was full of anger, and when everyone dispersed, he sat cross-legged on the bed, leaning against the wall, closed his eyes and said to Lu Weidong and Chen Mo, who were in the same room: "We must read more books. , next time there is another violent case in the ancient city, it must be broken in my hands!"  
