Chapter 36 Section 1

Eight years later.  In March in the ancient city, the spring rain came earlier than in previous years. The treetops on the banks of the Tang River first emerged tender new green in the mist and rain. Perception is never as sensitive as nature's perception of seasons... But in this early spring and March, people in the ancient city suddenly discovered that the water of the Tang River was intercepted section by section, and the forklifts rumbled into the river, and began to clean up the sludge and dirt accumulated in history day and night.After cleaning up a section, the migrant workers paved a uniform square cement brick surface on the clean river, and the embankments on both sides were built with regular stones to form a flat honeycomb shape, and then plastered with cement, so that the Tanghe River was brand new and clean . The cleaning project was approaching the arched bridge piers. The distance between the circular arched columns was too close, which made the large forklifts useless. The surrounding of the arched columns had to be replaced by migrant workers temporarily recruited from various counties. Digging in the river mud with shovels, they kept digging out some bicycle rims, scrap steel and rotten iron from the river mud.This attracted the rags from all over the ancient city to gather by the riverside of the bridge, and there were shouts of bargaining on and off the bridge...

While digging, migrant worker Jiang Xiaosheng asked fellow villager Huang Qiuhe that you said he would go to the hospital to see your uncle, and Huang Qiuhe said he would go at night.As soon as Huang Qiuhe went down the shovel, the tip of the shovel seemed to touch an iron object, making the sound of metal colliding with metal. He moved the shovel, then dug down at an angle, and picked it up, and a plastic bag was picked up by the tip of the shovel. The filth of the river mud is revealed.Cai Xiaosheng clearly heard the sound of metal, he stretched his head and asked curiously: "What are you digging again?" Huang Qiuhe knelt down to untie the dirty plastic bag, and what he reached into and took out was a pistol.He shouted in shock: "The gun, it's a real gun!" Cai Xiaosheng said give it to me, it's a real treasure! "

A group of migrant workers gathered around when they heard that the gun had been dug out. Everyone was vying to see what happened. Huang Qiuhe said, "This gun may be something. Let's leave it to the foreman to save trouble!" At this time, the foreman squeezed into the crowd, He twisted the cigarette butt on the heel of his shoe and told me to take a look, and took the gun with his hand.He looked left and right and said, "Hurry up and hand it over to the Public Security Bureau, it's a real guy! Let's not make trouble!"  Huang Qiuhe said that my uncle was at the Public Security Bureau, should I call my uncle?The foreman said, you and Cai Xiaosheng can find anyone from the nearest public security bureau, and we will hand over the gun and be done with it... 

The policemen from the Qiaotou Police Station followed Huang Qiuhe to the construction site and took the gun and handed it over to the sub-bureau without hesitation. Cleaning inspection.It was a May Fourth pistol. There was a magazine in the gun, but there were no bullets in the magazine. Although the gun was wrapped in a plastic bag, the gun body was rusted after being washed by sewage, soiled and buried by mud. spotted.Lou Xiaohe cleaned up bit by bit with great care, while Shi Yongzheng stood by and watched and waited...The "1145" case remained unsolved for eight years. A piece of "blocking" in my heart.With the reform of the criminal investigation system, the Criminal Investigation Department has been changed to the Criminal Police Detachment. Shi Yongzheng is now the deputy director of the Gucheng Public Security Bureau in charge of criminal investigation and the head of the Criminal Police Detachment. Xiao Kun has always felt that he is a bit out of control in the position of Deputy Director of Criminal Investigation. Oddly enough, Deputy Director Hu, who was in charge of public security, just arrived, so he took over that role, which was a step up for himself.And in this way, the detection of the "1145" case has historically fallen on Shi Yongzheng's shoulders. In recent years, anyone and anything related to guns has become the most sensitive nerve for Shi Yongzheng. .Now, he still doesn't know whether this gun is related to the "1145" case. If so, it may be a spiritual key to unlock the mystery of the eight-year unsolved case, at least it will be a way to get up through the fault line of despair. A glimmer of opportunity... When he was thinking about it, Lou Xiaohe's rushing voice interrupted his thinking: "Director, the inspection result is out, the number of this May 4th pistol is 12100096, and The clip number does not match the gun number, it is 9574..."

Shi Yongzheng's nerve endings were quickly connected with the gun number and magazine number as if they were electrocuted. He was too familiar with the gun number of this gun, so he didn't need to check the gun file in the gun cabinet. This is the pistol that Lin Tiange was robbed of. And the magazine number, if there are no special circumstances, should belong to the murdered policeman Sun Guiqing... The situation is serious, and he must report to the newly appointed director general.  In the past two years, the public security system has implemented exchanges of leading cadres in different places. The new director of the exchange from the provincial capital is Wang Wenjun, a talented student who graduated from the law department of China University of Political Science and Law.Xie Zhifan was exchanged to a remote small city in H province. Although he was given the title of deputy mayor before the post of police chief, everyone knew that it was a kind of promotion. In fact, it was enough to understand Zhifan. Because of his vanity of wanting to be the deputy mayor, the case was not solved, and any leader who left or came has no glory to speak of except pressure. 

Wang Wenjun's office is still in Room 206, which has changed owners three times since the "1145" incident. As soon as Shi Yongzheng entered the room, he saw green everywhere. On the window sill, beside the table, and in front of the sofa, there were full of green radishes, asparagus bamboo and Brazilian wood. Shi Yongzheng also liked these green and vibrant plants very much. , he must have a few words of praise, but at this moment, his mind is full of guns!gun!gun!  "Director Wang, the gun and magazines of the murdered policeman were dug out from the mud half a meter below the Tanghe Railway Bridge!" Wang Wenjun was young and capable. Yongzheng said: "The guns and magazines obtained from the murdered policemen alone can't explain anything. Is it possible to check the fingerprints on the guns?"

"I have asked them to send them to the Second Office of the Ministry of Public Security. There seems to be a few streaks in the shooting part." "Then, I would like to consult relevant experts to find out how long it takes for the gun to sink in such a deep mud, so that we can roughly determine when the criminals threw the gun, since the first case in 1987 , it is better to have a limit in time when we investigate the span of eight years!"  After Shi Yongzheng left, Wang Wenjun called the office of Municipal Party Committee Secretary Zang Tianyi: "Secretary Zang, I am Wang Wenjun. I have something important to report to you..."

After listening to the report, Zang Tianyi put down the phone and asked his secretary to arrange a car to go quietly to Tanghe.  Zang Tianyi is about 40 years old and is the youngest municipal party secretary in the history of the ancient city.With the deepening of reform and opening up in recent years, large and medium-sized cities across the country have gradually paid attention to urban environmental renovation and beautification. After taking office, Zang Tianyi first went to Dalian, Weihai, Xiamen and other cities for field inspections. The rivers in these cities have been renovated. In the future, like a dust-free mirror of the city, it will reflect the clean spirit of a city. The Tang River is a river with a long history. Why can't he let the ancient and stale Tang River glow with a new look?He made up his mind to give the people of the ancient city a surprise: renovate the Tanghe River, dig out the silt at the bottom of the river, and build the Tanghe Strip Park in the ancient city. 

But he never expected that the pistol and magazines of the murdered policeman in the "1145" unsolved case were dug up after cleaning up the mud!The unearthed pistol and magazine brought the case that had been silent for eight years to the attention of the people in the ancient city...  The news that Tang He dug up the pistol was widely spread.  "The Tang River has never been dredged for silt since its history. Who would have thought that the new secretary of the municipal party committee would dig the river!" "If you don't dig the river, that gun will never have a chance to see the light of day again!" "Hey, it's God's will, just dig the river, and the big forklift rumbles and grabs so much dirty mud, why? Then you can pick and grab that gun by just one inch!" 

"Where, the criminals really wanted to throw them in the middle of the river. If they were to be shoveled by a large forklift, such small objects would have been buried in the mud and buried elsewhere. You said that the criminals just threw them under the bridge pier. But the forklift couldn't get in, so I had to dig with a shovel instead, thanks to a shovel!"  "Speaking of it, this person is not as good as God, and this matter has to be said to be God's will. Hey, you said that the name of the city party secretary who is new to our ancient city is strange. What is it called 'Zang Tianyi'? 'God's Will' and God's Will are probably not a coincidence, how can there be such a clever thing in the world!" 

Ye Qianshan was caught in the discussion crowd wearing tattered clothes.From the day he dug out the pistol, he pretended to be a junk collector and stared at the migrant workers digging shovel after shovel at the river digging site.Lin Tiange's gun and Sun Guiqing's magazines were dug out, bringing some light to his gloomy heart. The normal logic should be whoever threw the gun is the criminal!  But who threw it?  The reason why he came here to squat at first was to remind him of the iron implement that beat Song Changzhong. Although he had never seen it before, he could recognize it as soon as he saw it, because the iron implement was so special... He thought that since criminals could take the victim's The gun and magazines are thrown into the river, why is it impossible to also throw the tools of crime into the river?  With this glimmer of hope in his heart, he began to squat.He squatted on the embankment and saw many junk collectors standing on the bridge head not far away. Migrant workers under the bridge kept digging up a lot of scrap steel. Some thieves stole the bicycles thrown away when they sold the stolen bicycles, and some passed by the railway bridge. When the iron ingots fell from the train, when the migrant workers’ shovels made a metallic sound, Ye Qianshan would run down to have a look first. The murder weapon was bought as scrap iron, and it would be difficult to chase after him, so he tirelessly went up and down, down and up...  The weather is getting warmer day by day, Ye Qianshan sticks to the sun in tattered clothes.The brilliance of the sun sometimes made him unable to keep his eyes open, so he squinted to distinguish the true colors on his body in the colorful scene... In the past few years, Ye Qianshan is the one who has suffered the worst.  Back then, when Wei Cheng was the head of the bureau, in order to solve the problem of the shortage of funds for handling the case, Ye Qianshan was asked to be in charge of the management of several companies under the bureau and the tertiary industry. Ye Qianshan put all his thoughts and energy on solving the case. As long as the sublease and contract out companies pay the money on time, he rarely asks about what to do and how to run it.The thing also happened in this question.When the company was being cleaned up and rectified across the country, the procuratorate filed a case to investigate a car smuggling case. After investigation, it was committed by an auto repair company affiliated with the trading company Ye Qianshan was in charge of. The procuratorate also found out that Xu Fan, the manager of the company, was carrying Ye Qian Shan did it, but Ye Qianshan had an unshirkable leadership responsibility.In order to clear himself up, Xu Fan bit out the matter of Ye Qianshan asking him for a color TV.Later, Ye Qianshan explained the situation to Shi Yongzheng in private. Shi Yongzheng also considered it prudent not to disclose the fact that the color TV was given to the witness Master Ge, so he and Ye Qianshan paid part of the money to block the money for the color TV. It's up... and in order to give the procuratorate an explanation, Ye Qianshan was "hung up" by the bureau. "Hanging up" is neither dismissal nor dismissal, and of course it is not resignation to the second line. Anyway, the Public Security Bureau has nothing to do with Ye Qianshan.Since then, Ye Qianshan has been reduced to an "idleman" in society, and his "idleman" seems to be no different from being fired by the public security organ, but it sounds nicer in name.  Ye Qianshan is considered a "famous" person in the criminal investigation department of the ancient city. He has many friends and a lot of people who pay attention to him. The position of the deputy director of the criminal investigation department is also eye-catching. There was quite a stir on the grounds of the ancient city. Rumors about Ye Qianshan spread everywhere, and the most common one was: "Ye Qianshan ran away with his concubine and embezzled hundreds of thousands of public funds!" These rumors naturally reached the ears of his wife, Shu Hua. Ye Qianshan never told his wife the truth. He pretended to go to and from get off work every day, and made up some jokes for his wife when he slept at night. He told jokes eloquently. Sometimes, his wife cried behind his back in the dark night...  One day when he came home, there was only a note left by his wife: Qian Shan, no matter what happened, you should tell me the truth, we are a real couple, when did you learn to act?I'll come back when you take off your makeup and return to the real you!  His wife Shuhua is coming soon The wife took the son back to her natal home, and he buried his head in his wife's letter and wept bitterly...  The crisis in the unit seems to be more serious than at home.A few people said that he occupied the latrine and did not shit.Because although he was suspended, the organization did not make any decision on how to deal with him. Although he is no longer in the criminal investigation department, he still occupies the seat of the deputy director of the criminal investigation department.Therefore, the person who wanted that seat naturally had a different nose and face for Ye Qianshan.  Someone also gave Shi Yongzheng an opinion: Why did you pay Ye Qianshan a salary? Ye Qianshan doesn't work, but the bonus is a lot!Once, Ye Qianshan went back to his work unit to find a small notebook for notes, only to find that his cabinet and writing desk had been thrown into an abandoned warehouse by someone. Yes, he has grievances but can’t tell others. He looks at his own things that are full of cobwebs and dust, and tears are swirling in his eye sockets...  The sound of metal collision cut off the gray past in his eyes so piercingly. Following the sound, he saw the migrant workers stooping and fiddled in the mud. He jumped up and ran to the bottom of the bridge. Three magazines tied together with wires were taken out of the plastic bag!  This was so unexpected, and fundamentally speaking, he hadn't even thought about it. His purpose was just to try his luck to see if he could find a tool to beat Song Changzhong.This unexpected harvest was so exciting that he hurriedly said to the migrant worker: "Give this to me!"  "I won't give it!" Migrant worker Huang Qiuhe tightly clutched the magazine in his arms.  "What do you want it for?" "I'll keep it for fun, it's not your thing!" Huang Qiuhe held it without any room for negotiation.  "This is what I want!" He said as he dragged Huang Qiuhe behind the bridge pier to avoid the eyes of people on the bridge, then he took out his work card and said, "You see clearly, what I do, If you don’t give it to me, I have no choice but to take you to the Public Security Bureau!” Huang Qiuhe carefully looked at the work permit, then at Ye Qianshan, before handing over the magazine.Ye Qianshan took the magazine and quickly evacuated from the Tanghe construction site...   Shi Yongzheng was listening to Lou Xiaohe's report on the inspection results of the gun brought back from the Ministry of Public Security at the Technical Investigation Office that day.The result was also as they expected. The streaks of the gunshot part can be seen in natural light, and no fingerprints can be obtained by taking pictures with laser, long-wave, short-wave, ultraviolet and other technologies... Shi Yongzheng asked the Wang Wang assigned by the Shenyang Criminal Police Academy, "Have you come to a conclusion about your work?" "The gun and magazines were buried half a meter deep in the river. Experts believe that it will take five or six years!" Shi Yongzheng fell into deep thought after hearing this. He raised his eyes and looked out the window. Monkey hooked him anxiously with his fingers.He knew that Ye Qianshan would not come to the bureau to look for him unless there was something urgent.He walked out quickly, and Ye Qianshan whispered to him, "The food is here!" "What kind of food are you here?" "Dig out the magazine again!"  
