Chapter 8 Chapter 7 Witnesses

The scene is on a street not far away.When Li Binliang and Miao Yu arrived, what they saw was a pool of blood, pedestrians watching, a traffic police patrol car and several traffic police officers measuring with a ruler. The lunatic's body was gone. Li Binliang showed his ID to the traffic police and explained his identity, and asked them about the situation. What made him hopeful was that a traffic policeman told him that the madman did not die on the spot and had been sent to the county hospital for emergency treatment. Another traffic policeman said that someone saw that the driver of the accident was a green van, but no one saw the number of the van.They have reported to the brigade leaders and are searching and blocking on various roads.

Li Binliang told the traffic police that this was not a traffic accident, but a criminal case, and the criminal police brigade should be notified immediately to appear on the scene.Then, with the assistance of the traffic police, a witness among the onlookers was found—a middle school teacher riding a bicycle and wearing glasses. Witness: "It was so scary. I got off work and was riding my bicycle home. Suddenly, a car drove past me and almost hit me. I was very angry, but I thought about it, but I didn't hit it anyway. Forget it, I didn't expect it , it ran into the lunatic in front of me, and I shouted in fright: "The car is coming, get out of the way", the lunatic seemed to hear my shout, and looked back, at this time, the car had already hit Go up... I thought I didn't hit it, but after the car passed by, I saw the lunatic fell to the ground, the car was driving fast, and disappeared in the blink of an eye!"

Li Binliang: "Do you think the car was hit on purpose, or was it an accident?" Witness: "Is this not obvious? This road is quite secluded, there are not many people and cars, and the lunatic is on the side of the road, not obstructing the traffic, and he just ran into someone. How could it be an accident... However, if it was intentional , why bump into a lunatic, who can he offend?" Well explained, he's probably not crazy. Li Binliang thought so, and glanced at Miao Yu, and found that her face was a little pale. Li Binliang talked with Qin Zhijian and Qiu Xiaoming on the phone, stopped a taxi, and drove quickly to the hospital with Miao Yu. On the way, he called Lao Zeng. go to the hospital.

The taxi was passing through the street at high speed, and Li Binliang's brain was spinning rapidly: Is it a traffic accident, or silence? If it is silence, why? Because he is an eyewitness. Yes, he is a lunatic, wandering the streets and alleys all day, who can notice him, who will suspect him, who will investigate him... He was the witness, but he successfully concealed himself. If he is an eyewitness and the report letter he sent, is he still crazy? of course not. Before Li Binliang's eyes, the dirty and humble image of a "madman" appeared, as well as the voice bowing down and saying "Hello, the government"... Yes, he is not a lunatic, he is not a lunatic at all, he has never been a lunatic, everything, It's all faked.

So, why is he pretending to be crazy... Miao Yu's sigh interrupted his thoughts. He asked softly, "Miao Yu, what are you thinking?" Miao Yu also said softly: "I don't know if he is dead or alive now!" Yes, this is the current key issue. He is not dead yet. This was the first news the two got outside the emergency room of the hospital. This is comforting and encouraging news. The lunatic was being rescued. Outside the emergency room, Li Binliang watched bags of plasma being sent in.In anxiety, he stopped a young female nurse and asked about the condition of the "lunatic".The female nurse replied: "It is being rescued, the person is still alive, and the result is hard to tell."

Li Binliang said from the bottom of his heart: "Comrade nurse, thank you very much, please tell the doctor that he must be revived, and that we begged him!" The female nurse gave Li Binliang a suspicious look and walked into the emergency room. After a while, another older female nurse and the young female nurse just now came out of the emergency room and called Li Binliang to the side: "You are a family member, right now, there are two things you need to do right now. Two, hurry up and ask for money, people need a lot of money whether they are dead or alive, at least 10,000 yuan must be collected first!"

This…… Li Binliang hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, I'm not a family member, I'm a policeman, the victim is an important witness for us, you must save him, thank you!" The older female nurse said, "No, you should thank Secretary Zheng!" Miao Yu asked strangely, "Secretary Zheng, why..." Young female nurse: "According to the regulations of the hospital, patients cannot be treated if they don't pay. After Secretary Zheng came, he gave the order to the hospital. The emergency patients who are life-threatening should be treated first, and then charged. This is especially true for accidental injuries.”

That's it, Zheng Nan, you are such a good secretary, you have thought of everything.Li Binliang was filled with emotion for a moment. While Li Binliang was thinking about emotion, Qiu Xiaoming and Qin Zhijian rushed over. Qin Zhijian and Qiu Xiaoming were also shocked after hearing the situation. Qin Zhijian whispered to Qiu Xiaoming: "What's going on?" Qiu Xiaoming: "You mean..." Qin Zhijian: "I mean, what is going on with this victim, is he crazy?" This is what Li Binliang wants to know. Qiu Xiaoming hesitated: "This... I don't know either."

Qin Zhijian stared at Qiu Xiaoming, and suppressed his voice: "When is it, are you still hiding it? Are you still a policeman?" Qiu Xiaoming: "This... I didn't hide it. I didn't handle his case. At that time, I was the deputy captain of the criminal police team. His case was handled by the Economic Investigation Division. If you want to know the details, you have to ask them!" Miao Yu asked strangely, "What? You have also handled his case? What case is he?" Qiu Xiaoming said in a low voice: "Economic crimes, he used to be the chairman and general manager of a company, but he was arrested and sentenced for corruption!"

Li Binliang had already heard about this from Qiu Xiaoming, but he didn't take it to heart at the time, and only now did he realize that there might be deep-seated problems here.He felt an urgent desire to know everything about this man. Qin Zhijian spoke for him: "Then what do you know, how much do you know? How much do you know and talk about, we must find out the true identity of this person as soon as possible." Qiu Xiaoming: "This... I only know the general idea. I heard it. Many years ago, he was the head of Lixin Village in the suburbs of the city. He led the whole village to raise funds to set up a smelter. He has a lot of money, and he is the head of the village. He is the chairman and general manager. The company is running very well. In those years, the policies were relatively loose, and it grew rapidly. Later, its assets reached more than 20 million yuan. However, at this moment , Someone reported that he was involved in corruption, and the county sent a task force to the company to conduct an investigation, and found that the situation was true, so he was sentenced. That's all I know."

Qin Zhijian: "That's not right. Since the enterprise is run by the villagers themselves and is a private enterprise, why would the county send people to investigate? How can it be sentenced as a crime of corruption?" Qiu Xiaoming: "It's his own fault too. At that time, in order to ensure the smooth development of the company and avoid difficulties, he attached himself to a company in the county. However, everyone knows that the company is still private. However, when the case was handled, it was still based on corruption. National collective property is criminalized." silence. After a while, Qin Zhijian seemed to be talking to himself, and also seemed to be asking: "Is there a problem of being framed by weaving charges?" Qiu Xiaoming: "It's already a matter of conviction and sentencing. I dare not say this. If you must find out, then ask the Economic Investigation Brigade... No, the Economic Investigation Brigade can't tell. There are too many years. At that time It was also called the Economic Investigation Section, and later, the case was handed over to the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Procuratorate, who handled it themselves.” Qin Zhijian: "No matter who did it, I still suspect that there is something wrong with it... By the way, what is the madman's name, where is his home, and does he have any relatives?" Qiu Xiaoming: "I don't know what to say. It seems that there is no... By the way, I have to ask the Civil Affairs Bureau about this. They should know... Hey, isn't that Director Zhou?" Said that Cao Cao and Cao Cao would be here, a young deputy director surnamed Zhou from the county civil affairs rushed over, and Qiu Xiaoming hurriedly introduced him to Li Binliang and Qin Zhijian. Li Binliang asked Deputy Director Zhou what the madman's name was and if he had any relatives.Deputy Director Zhou replied: The lunatic seems to be surnamed Yuan, but I can't tell what his name is right now.He also said that he had been loitering in the society. After Secretary Zheng discovered it last year, he asked the Civil Affairs Bureau to conduct a survey of similar people in the county. It turned out that there were many such people. People wandering the streets, of course, including some beggars, saying that they have affected the image of the whole county, but Secretary Zheng disagreed, saying that such people need to be cared for rather than rectified. Later, some people like him People are sent to nursing homes, of course, the funds are borne by the finances. Qin Zhijian: "Since he has been sent to a nursing home, why is he still wandering in society?" Deputy Director Zhou: "The nursing home is not a detention center. It is impossible to send someone to watch him all day long. After sending him in for a few days, he will slip out again!" Miao Yu: "Do you know where he lives at night after he comes out?" Deputy Director Zhou apologized for not being clear, and then resigned to see the doctor.Li Binliang didn't ask any more questions. He knew that there were too many management loopholes in our society, and there were too many such people in society. Miao Yu interrupted his thinking: "This is the so-called 'marginal people'. Due to poverty or disease, but also due to subjective and objective reasons, they have actually been eliminated by society and drifted outside the mainstream society. Ask them what they are doing, let alone ask them whether they are dead or alive, let them fend for themselves. We are used to this phenomenon, we have accepted this phenomenon. In fact, this is a kind of numbness, and this kind of numbness is the most scary!" After all, he has been a reporter, and his speech is really good, and his eyes are also very sharp. Qin Zhijian: "What is this? You haven't seen any serious ones yet. The most frightening thing is the kind of 'Wu Crazy', because mental patients are not criminally responsible for crimes, and we don't have a practical management system, killing people After that, he will be locked up for a few days, and he will have to be released back to society, so that he can continue to endanger others!" Li Binliang felt a heavy helplessness and pain arising from the bottom of his heart. Miao Yu angrily said: "But, the reality is clearly like this, but you can't say it. If you say it, you have a problem, and someone will find your fault. Do you know why I am not a reporter? I just can't tell the truth. It is too painful not to be able to write the real things that I see with my eyes and feel with my heart!" Qin Zhijian: "Then you were transferred to the Public Security Bureau as a secretary for a few days and then stopped doing anything. Is this also the reason?" Miao Yu: "Yes. Sometimes you have to tell lies when you are a secretary, and you have to write articles that you don't even believe. In the past few years, there have been so many formalistic things. I really can't stand it. But being a criminal policeman is different. You can always Do something useful to society." Li Binliang was touched by Miao Yu's words again.Back then, I was the same way. I first worked as a secretary in the government office. For the same reason, I took the initiative to transfer to the public security agency. I did political work first, and then I changed my job to become a criminal policeman... He suddenly felt a lot closer to her, and had a deeper understanding of her. Seeing her heartfelt excitement and sincere anger, he felt a warmth in his heart, and felt that she was so close ... However, he immediately calmed down again and controlled himself in time. The door of the operating room opened, and several medical staff came out pushing a hospital bed. Qin Zhijian: "Come out!" The four rushed to meet them. The "lunatic" was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, unconscious.He had an oxygen mask on his face, and many tubes were inserted into his body, so he couldn't see his face clearly. Li Binliang: "Doctor, how is he?" Doctor: "For the time being, it is not life-threatening. However, it will take a while to observe how it develops." Qin Zhijian: "When will he wake up?" Doctor: "It's hard to say. When I was sent to the hospital, I fell into a coma. However, so far, the brain has not suffered much damage. It belongs to a serious concussion. The internal organs were severely injured, but fortunately, the spleen was injured. , has been removed, if other organs are injured, there is no hope of saving it!" The "lunatic" was pushed into an intensive care unit, and Li Binliang and others could only stop outside the door of the ward.A nurse handed them a large plastic bag: "This is the patient's clothes." Li Binliang, Qin Zhijian, and Miao Yu hurriedly took them out for inspection.They soon discovered that although the "madman"'s coat was dirty, his underwear was much cleaner. Miao Yu: "This shows that he has a sense of hygiene and often washes his underwear." Qin Zhijian: "This also shows that he intentionally wears dirty clothes outside to give people a false impression." Qiu Xiaoming: "This shows that he may not really be a lunatic." Qin Zhijian: "It's not a possibility, but a certainty. He's definitely not crazy." Li Binliang didn't speak, and carefully searched for the clothes in his hands, but found nothing. Li Binliang: "Director Qiu, hurry up and notify the technical brigade to extract his fingerprints. At the same time, send someone to the hospital as a security guard. His safety must be absolutely guaranteed..." When Qiu Xiaoming was on the phone, Qin Zhijian pulled Li Binliang aside: "Director Li, have you thought about it?" Li Binliang: "You mean, the 'lunatic' was hit?" Qin Zhijian: "Yes, don't you think it's a coincidence? We just guessed that he might be a witness, and this happened." Li Binliang thought about it, but he couldn't confirm what happened.He said: "Yeah, in such a short period of time, it is impossible to run away..." Qin Zhijian: "However, it was yesterday that we received the report letter." Li Binliang: "You mean, someone knew about the report letter, and analyzed that it was written by a 'lunatic', and knew that he was an eyewitness, so they silenced it?" Qin Zhijian: "It can only be explained in this way." Yes, that's the only way to explain it. However, the report letter received by the task force is absolutely confidential. Although the letter was sent to the duty room, no one has read it. How did the criminal know? Qin Zhijian: "There are traitors." This…… Li Binliang glanced to the side, Qiu Xiaoming was still on the phone, and Miao Yu was looking at him with an unnatural expression. Li Binliang said to Qin Zhijian in a low voice: "Don't say that first, maybe someone leaked the news unintentionally." Qin Zhijian: "No, we have emphasized that this matter must not be disclosed to outsiders. This is by no means unintentional, but intentional." Li Binliang: "Let's talk about this later. The key now is to find out the true identity and residence of the 'lunatic', and see if we can find what we need." Li Binliang decided to divide the troops into two groups. Qiu Xiaoming will coordinate the Criminal Police Brigade and the Traffic Police Brigade to protect the safety of the "lunatic" and try his best to find the vehicle that caused the accident. Li Binliang, Qin Zhijian and Miao Yu will be responsible for investigating the situation of the "lunatic". Li Binliang had a feeling in his heart: "Madman" might bring a major breakthrough to the case. However, the investigation did not go well.Until the end of the evening shift, neither the vehicle involved in the accident was found nor the nursing home provided any useful clues. They didn't know as much about the "lunatic" as Qiu Xiaoming. They only knew that his surname was Yuan and he had been in prison. Got it.They also reported that after the "lunatic" was sent to the nursing home, he didn't show any special behavior. He just left as soon as he said it. , Later, people didn't pay much attention to him.Regarding the belongings of the "lunatic", they said that he did not have any other personal belongings except the bedding that the nursing home provided him. As for whether the "crazy man" has any family members or relatives, they can't tell.However, they said it was impossible, because no one had ever seen him take care of him. Since you are a person, you should have a source.During dinner, Li Binliang came up with a way to get in touch with the judges and prosecutors who investigated the "lunatics".He told Qiu Xiaoming about this idea and asked him to contact the procuratorate and the court.However, Qiu Xiaoming didn't express his opinion, and he said after a while: "The procuratorate and the court can't find anything. The judges and prosecutors who handled the case back then are gone. Those who were promoted were promoted, and those who were transferred away. In my opinion, it's better to find a lawyer. He knows better." lawyer? Li Binliang: "You mean, the lawyer hired by 'Madman' back then? He was from Sanyang?" Qiu Xiaoming: "Yes, I know this person." Qin Zhijian slapped the table: "Quick, contact him immediately!" This is a small study room of more than ten square meters. There is a large bookcase against the wall, which contains mostly legal books. Next to the bookcase is a writing desk with a laptop computer on it.Although it was past nine o'clock in the evening, the windows were drawn with thick curtains to block the light, and the door was tightly closed. Feng Ziming, a lawyer from Shanyang Law Firm, still pressed his voice when speaking, whispering like a whisper, influenced by him , Li Binliang and the three of them also had to whisper.The atmosphere in the room was dull and depressing. Lawyer Feng is forty-two or three-year-old, with a thin body, but looks quite energetic.Qiu Xiaoming originally asked him to go to the special case team's office, but he said nothing, and he didn't even want to see the special case team at all. It was Qiu Xiaoming's repeated work before he agreed to have a talk with Li Binliang, and the location had to be determined by him.After much consideration, he still chose to stay in his own home, and asked to meet after nine o'clock in the evening, so that no one could see him contacting the task force. Li Binliang, Qin Zhijian and Miao Yu had to come to Lawyer Feng's house very secretly.Fortunately, it was already dark, and there were not many people near Lawyer Feng's residential building, and no one saw him when he entered the building.Even so, Lawyer Feng was still uneasy.After the three entered the house, he immediately told them that the sound insulation of the residential building is not good, and if the sound is louder, neighbors can hear it, so they must speak in a low voice. Li Binliang agreed to all of Lawyer Feng's requests, and then said impatiently, "Lawyer Feng, let's start!" Attorney Feng: "Okay, what do you want to know?" Li Binliang: "Everything, we want to know 'Madman'... No, what's his name? We want to know everything about him, everything you know about him." Lawyer Feng: "Okay. However, I don't know everything about him. I can only tell you what I know, but there is one thing. I only tell you these things. You must keep it absolutely confidential." Li Binliang: "We swear." Attorney Feng: "Then let's start with his case?" Li Binliang: "Yes." Lawyer Feng sighed: "How should I put it? In fact, this is a completely unjust case, a huge unjust case. Over the years, my conscience has been disturbed by this, but I really have no choice..." Miao Yu took out the recording paper and pen to record, but Attorney Feng hurriedly said, "No, I can't record it. If you record it, I won't talk about it." Li Binliang hurriedly asked Miao Yu to put away the paper and pen. Attorney Feng stared at Miao Yu putting the paper and pen back into the bag, and then said with emotion: "In the blink of an eye, it has been more than ten years. Now, people call him 'lunatic' and have forgotten his name. , his real name is Yuan Zhifa. I really asked why he came up with such a name. It turned out that his family was always poor, so his father gave him this name, but it never came up. It was not until the reform and opening up that this wish came true. You don’t know, back then, he was a well-known figure in Shanyang, he was once named the new Long March Assaulter of the district, a model worker, and one of the top ten contributing entrepreneurs in the district.” Is there such a thing? The three of Li Binliang looked at each other with puzzled eyes. Miao Yu asked urgently: "But, what happened later, how did you enter the prison and become like this?" Lawyer Feng: "You know that, he was sentenced for corruption." Miao Yu: "Lawyer Feng, please be more specific. What's going on?" Lawyer Feng sighed: "It's a long story. Just like the idiom said, 'Fortune comes with misfortune, and misfortune rests with blessing'. In fact, when he started to prosper, disaster has already been buried. Down. By the way, he started in the early 1980s and developed in the middle and late 1980s. At that time, the society was in a period of transformation, and the policies were relatively loose. He was young and educated... Speaking of which, he was not culturally Gao is a high school student, but at that time he was regarded as a cultural person in the countryside. The folks set up a business and raised funds to set up a smelter. At that time, there were not many people doing this, so the benefits were very good. By the early 1990s, the assets had reached more than 20 million yuan. Also number one or two." Li Binliang remembered what Qiu Xiaoming said: "Lawyer Feng, what is the nature of his business? Is it state-owned or private?" Lawyer Feng: "You can judge for yourself. No matter whether it is the state or other enterprises, the entire enterprise has not invested a penny. It is completely established by Yuan Zhifa's personal investment and the funds raised by the villagers. Do you think it is state-owned or private?" Miao Yu: "Of course it's private." Lawyer Feng: "However, this is only one aspect of the matter. In the past...in fact, it is also the same now. Faced with the restrictions of the company and making things difficult for the company, Yuan Zhifa nominally affiliated with the county smelter in order to run the company smoothly. That is to say, he wears a 'red hat', for which he has to pay a management fee of 200,000 yuan to the county smelter every year. Unexpectedly, it is precisely this that hurts him." Li Binliang: "You just said that he was sentenced for corruption!" Lawyer Feng: "How can I say that it is an unjust case? It is not corruption at all, but legal income. What he implements is the decision passed collectively by the board of directors. Five-fifths of the manager’s salary, that is, dividends. Because the company’s profitability was very good in those years, and it could get hundreds of thousands every year. He didn’t dare to ask for it. He only received less than 100,000 yuan, and the rest was given to the employees. Or put it into the reproduction of the enterprise. By the way, newspapers reported his deeds back then...Of course, it’s not that his awareness is so high, the main reason is that he is afraid that others will envy him if he gets too much money, and someone will punish him. But in any case, he should It is said that the quality of this person is still good. Today's corrupt officials dare not do anything, and dare not take any money? So, after his accident, the employees of the company complained that if he received the full amount of money, or really Corruption, and then take out part of it and send it up, but nothing will happen, and the company will not collapse." Miao Yu: "Lawyer Feng, tell me quickly, what happened to him?" Lawyer Feng smiled wryly: "What happened? How can I say it? It seems that the county leaders received some reports saying that he had corruption problems, so they sent a working group to the company to check the accounts. After more than three months of investigation, nothing was found. , It should have been announced that nothing happened, but the procuratorate came again, and in the end, it classified his dividend money as corruption and sentenced him to ten years." Miao Yu: "How can it be called corruption? Isn't the enterprise run with their own money?" Lawyer Feng: "Didn't I say, who made him wear a red hat?" Miao Yu: "However, the determination of a crime should not be based on the external name, but on the facts?" Lawyer Feng: "I'm just a lawyer. I defended the case in court, but the court didn't accept it. What can I do? In fact, not to mention me as a lawyer, even a judge has nothing to do." Miao Yu: "Why don't I understand, why can't I do it? Tell me, why can't I do it?" Lawyer Feng smiled wryly again, but did not answer.Miao Yu still wanted to ask, but was stopped by Qin Zhijian: "Lawyer Feng, is it that simple?" Lawyer: "Yes. In China, it is very easy for a bad person to fight a good person. On the contrary, it is too difficult for a good person to fight a bad person." Miao Yu said angrily, "But this is clearly an unjust case!" Attorney Feng: "I said it from the beginning." Miao Yu: "Then how do you, a lawyer, defend? A case with such obvious right and wrong, and such a clear distinction between guilt and innocence, is just sentenced like this. What do you, a lawyer, do?" Lawyer Feng smiled wryly again: "Comrade, you don't seem to be Chinese. Since you are policemen, don't you understand some things? What are lawyers? In some cases, if someone above sets the tone, your lawyer is just defending the case. It didn't help at all. In fact, some judges and prosecutors at the time thought it was a wrongful case. However, these people were transferred, dismissed, and replaced by some people who did not speak conscience or were timid and obedient... Yes, if someone like me or someone who is not as good as me handles the case, then the crime will be determined like this." Miao Yu: "This... you can appeal?" Lawyer Feng: "I appealed twice, and the higher authorities sent back for a retrial. Those people were retrialed. Can the result be changed?" Qin Zhijian: "Didn't you complain later?" Lawyer Feng said in a low voice, "No." Miao Yu said angrily, "Why, why didn't you appeal?" Lawyer Feng was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice, "I'm afraid." Qin Zhijian: "Scared, what are you afraid of?" Attorney Feng: "Someone suggested to me that if I continue to appeal for this case, I will never even think about being a lawyer in the Baishan area." Qin Zhijian: "Who hinted at you? Who is it?" It wasn't until Qin Zhijian asked three times that Lawyer Feng replied, "It's the one who decides my fate." After thinking about it, he added, "It's also the one who decides your fate." Miao Yu resisted: "Who, who is it, tell me!" Lawyer Feng remained silent. Qin Zhijian: "You said, 'crazy'... No, Yuan Zhifa was framed because someone reported it. Who was the whistleblower?" Lawyer Feng: "I don't know, it's said to be an anonymous letter... Since the anonymous letter can attract so much attention from the leaders and cause such consequences, I suspect that the person who wrote the letter cannot be someone inside the company." Miao Yu: "Who could it be?" Lawyer Feng shook his head: "I don't know." Miao Yu wanted to ask again, but was stopped by Li Binliang.There is no need to ask any more. Attorney Feng is right. An anonymous letter is so motivating, leading to such consequences, and many public reports and even collective petitions have been ignored. Isn't that enough to explain everything? Li Binliang thought for a while, then changed the subject: "Yuan Zhifa was sentenced, what happened to the company?" Lawyer Feng smiled wryly: "What can I do, close down, auction!" Li Binliang: "Where did you sell it to?" Attorney Feng: "Huahan Company." Li Binliang: "Huahan Company?" Attorney Feng: "Now, this company no longer exists." Qin Zhijian: "Where did it go?" Attorney Feng: "It has changed its name." Miao Yu: "What is it called now?" Lawyer Feng thought for a while: "Hanxiong Group Company." Li Binliang almost stood up in surprise: "What... Hanxiong Group..." Lawyer Feng: "Yes, a business worth more than 20 million yuan was only sold for more than 2 million yuan." "Damn it, I'm so pissed off!" Qin Zhijian suddenly complained: "Isn't Hanxiong Group the company owned by Zhao Hanxiong? There must be something wrong here. Attorney Feng, tell me, can Zhao Hanxiong participate in this conspiracy?" Lawyer Feng: "I'm a lawyer. I don't have evidence, so I can't talk nonsense!" Miao Yu: "I understand, this is a frame-up, a conspiracy, it must be a conspiracy." The lawyer looked at Li Binliang: "Director Li, is there anything else?" Li Binliang: "Yes, Lawyer Feng, we want to know about Yuan Zhifa's family situation, you must know, does he have a family, does he have any relatives?" Lawyer Feng: "I know, he has no home now." Li Binliang: "So, what about the past? Before he went to prison, he must have a home!" Lawyer Feng: "It doesn't make any sense now. At that time, he had a happy family, a couple, and a son. Although Yuan Zhifa was rich, he had a very strict style of work and a strong family concept. He never had an affair. He liked his son very much and wanted to send him to college. However, after he was sentenced, his wife divorced him and disappeared with his son.” After a moment of silence, Qin Zhijian asked again: "What happened later? Yuan Zhi went crazy after he was released from prison, like now?" Attorney Feng: "Yes." Li Binliang: "Have you had any contact with him since he was released from prison?" Lawyer Feng hesitated for a moment, then shook his head: "No." Li Binliang: "Lawyer Feng, don't be afraid, we will definitely keep you secret. Since you have defended him and had such a relationship with him, why didn't you contact him after he was released from prison?" Lawyer Feng: "This... can be regarded as contact, but he is crazy, and he doesn't know me when he sees him. No matter what I tell him, he always says: 'The government is good'. This kind of contact is also equivalent to no contact with me. touch." Before Li Binliang's eyes, Yuan Zhifa bowed to him and said "Hello, the government". Qin Zhijian: "Then, have you ever doubted that he is crazy?" Lawyer Feng hesitated again: "I also suspected it. Because he is a smart and strong man. He told me before he was imprisoned that it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years. He will come out to appeal sooner or later...Look now, He might be faking it, but he's faking it so much that it's impossible not to believe it!" Miao Yu: "Then, after he came out, have you helped him in life?" Attorney Feng: "I have helped, sometimes, secretly brought him an old clothes, or bought him some food." Li Binliang said suddenly: "So, do you know where he lives? I mean, where did he live at night before he was sent to the nursing home and after he escaped from the nursing home?" Lawyer Feng hesitated: "This..." Qin Zhijian anxiously said, "Lawyer Feng, speak quickly!" Lawyer Feng: "That... I can't say for sure. You know, since we have such a friendship, I feel guilty because I can't help him. Therefore, even though he is crazy, I still sympathize with him. Several times, I really paid attention to his actions... By the way, it was one night a few months ago. It was still very cold. I saw him wandering outside when I got off work, so I followed him secretly for a while and found him walking An unfinished building, probably, live there!" Li Binliang stood up abruptly: "Really, which unfinished building, you quickly lead us there..." Lawyer Feng's words were not very accurate, it was not an unfinished building, but a piece of unfinished building. This unfinished building is located in the south of Shanyang County. When Li Binliang, Qin Zhijian, and Miao Yu arrived there under the guidance of lawyer Feng, it was past ten o'clock at night. Before their eyes, there was darkness and silence. The car was unable to move, so I had to get out of the car and walk. Seen from a distance in the night, there are more than a dozen unfinished buildings in this area, which can accommodate at least a thousand households, but what greeted them was silence. Qin Zhijian asked Lawyer Feng: "Isn't this building finished? Why is there no light or movement? Could it be that no one has moved in?" Lawyer Feng sighed: "Who says it's not, this is the only failure that Secretary Zheng made when he came to Shanyang." Miao Yu: "What, this project was handled by Secretary Zheng?" Lawyer Feng: "How should I put it? This is the housing project he did in his first year in Shanyang. His original intention was to allow low-income people to live upstairs. For the construction of these buildings, the county has formulated many preferential policies. Policy, so the price is lower, and an agreement has been reached with the bank that buyers can get loans, but this kind of consequence is unexpected. Although Secretary Zheng didn’t say anything, he must be very annoyed.” Like Miao Yu, Li Binliang was very surprised. Since he came to Shanyang, he had only heard good things from Secretary Zheng. This was the first time he heard about it. Lawyer Feng continued: "Actually, Secretary Zheng can't be completely blamed. The key is that he didn't understand the situation and misjudged the wrong person. He shouldn't have handed over the project to Hanxiong Group." Qin Zhijian: "Hanxiong Group? Isn't it Zhao Hanxiong?" Lawyer Feng: "It's not him, who else. I guess, when something like this happened, one is that Secretary Zheng didn't know him when he first came here and was deceived by the halo on his head, and the other is that someone above must have spoken for Zhao Hanxiong. He refused, so he had to hand over the project to him. Of course, Secretary Zheng couldn't stand the project in such a way. It is said that he also approached Zhao Hanxiong, and Zhao Hanxiong also agreed to renovate, but he kept putting off the project. Besides, the house The foundation is not well laid, how can we renovate? It is better to rebuild. Later, the residents who bought the house took the lawsuit to the court to ask for compensation, but the court did not dare to do anything to Zhao Hanxiong, so it has been delayed I heard that Secretary Zheng got angry because of this, saying that in the future, the project of Sanyang will never be handed over to Hanxiong Group, which is one of the reasons why the headquarters of Hanxiong Group left Sanyang!" Listening to lawyer Feng's words, Li Binliang's heart was touched again.Qin Zhijian was right. Ever since he came into contact with this case, why did Zhao Hanxiong's shadow always appear from time to time?Could it be... At this moment, there was no time to think about it, and the four of them groped their way to the unfinished building ahead.The road was difficult, or in other words, there was no proper road at all, and there were bricks and tiles everywhere. Fortunately, Miao Yu was careful and brought a flashlight to light it up so that he would not fall down. After walking for a while, Lawyer Feng stopped and looked forward: "He just entered this unfinished building, but he can't remember which one it is. It's so dark, so let's look for it tomorrow!" Li Binliang looked over and felt that what Attorney Feng said was right. There were dozens of buildings full of dark shadows, black lights and blind lights. Where can I find it... Suddenly, Qin Zhijian let out a soft cry: "Look quickly..." Li Binliang looked up, and saw a window of a residential building in front of him flashed a light and then went out. Miao Yu: "Someone..." 苗雨说着，把手电向刚才闪亮的窗口照去，却被秦志剑一把夺下来关掉：“你干什么？” 几人再也不敢出声，都向那幢烂尾楼望去。 李斌良听到了自己的心跳声：既然楼里没住人，怎么会有亮光，如果里边真的有人，会是谁，是什么人，这么晚了，在里边干什么…… 可是，好一会儿过去，再没有亮光，也没有一点动静。李斌良怀疑自己看错。 可是，即使自己看错，秦志剑和苗雨不能都看错呀！ 秦志剑：“李局长，咱们过去，大家小心点，不要出声，苗雨，不要再打手电！” 四人躬下身，小心翼翼地向前面的楼房走去，李斌良、秦志剑和苗雨都把手枪拿出来，悄悄地把子弹上膛，打开了保险。 就在他们接近那楼房的时候，忽然传出轻轻的脚步声，接着，一个人影闪出来，飞快地向远处跑去。 秦志剑追赶上去：“什么人，站住……” 李斌良和苗雨随后追赶。苗雨：“我们是警察，站住……” 苗雨边喊，边打亮手电照去。可是，脚下是破砖乱瓦，跑不太快，而前面的人影却如惊兔一般，三纵两纵，眨眼间跑出很远。 秦志剑向天上扣动扳机：“站住，再不站住开枪了！” 枪声响起，但是，逃跑的人影跑得更快，往一幢楼房后边的黑影里一拐就不见了。 李斌良和秦志剑、苗雨随后赶到，仔细搜查，哪里还有人的影子。三人失望地停下来。 秦志剑：“李局，怎么办？” 李斌良没有马上回答，刚才在苗雨的手电光柱中，他看了一眼逃跑者的背影，不知为什么，觉得这个背影有点眼熟，像在哪儿见过…… 可是，他没有说出来，而是说：“回去吧，冯律师还在后边，咱们去楼里看看！” 几分钟之后，三人和冯律师来到那幢楼的一个栋口外边。 秦志剑：“刚才的亮光好像就在这个栋口。” 苗雨：“对，在上边，好像是最上一层！” 四人在手电光柱的引导下，小心地顺着楼梯向上摸去，每到一层缓步处都停下来，推开门向室内搜寻一下，没有发现可疑迹象，迎接目光的是剥落的墙皮、裂开的墙壁和扭歪的窗子，这样的安居工程实在难以叫人安居，不怪购房的居民不入住，无怪乎郑书记勃然大怒，不再把山阳的工程交给赵汉雄，并把他赶出山阳。 最终，他们来到顶层的一个房门外，小心地推开，把手电光照进去。 秦志剑：“就是这里！” 是这里：窗子钉着一张破塑料布，地上铺着几块厚纸壳，靠墙处还放着一个破草垫子，上边有一条破被子，墙角放着一个塑料袋，里边是两件看上去还干净的深色内衣，另一个墙角，放着两个小磁盆和碗筷，那是餐具…… 是这里，这里一定是“疯子”袁志发的栖身之处。 可是，他此刻正在医院里昏迷不醒，那么，刚才出现在这里的人是谁，在干什么？ 秦志剑：“小心些，尽量靠墙走，不要破坏现场！” 苗雨突然地：“这是什么……” 手电照过去，苗雨从地上拾起几张纸，几人凑上去观察，发现是已经发黄的纸，他们很快辨认出，这是一张判决书，一张多年前的判决书，袁志发的判决书。 确切无疑，这里就是袁志发的栖身之地。 这张判决书怎么会扔在地上？ 秦志剑：“一定是刚才那个人翻动后扔在地上的！” 李斌良：“再仔细找一找，还有什么东西没有？” 苗雨：“走，去卫生间看看！” 因为人没有搬进来，卫生间也就没水没电，几人一走进来，就在地上又发现几张纸，进而在墙壁上发现一处脱落的磁砖，磁砖里边形成一个深深的墙洞。 秦志剑走上前，把手伸进去，从里边拿出一个塑料袋，里边是卷成筒状的纸张。 秦志剑小心地把纸张从塑料袋内拿出来。手电光柱下，四人很快辨出这是一些申诉信，有的是钢笔写的，有的是打字的，从纸张的颜色和字迹的清晰程度上看，并不是同一个年代形成的。 可以判断，刚才那个不明身份的人先一步来到这里，发现了这些东西，因为受到惊动，仓惶而去，留下这样的现场。 秦志剑的手继续向墙上的洞里掏去，最后，又从里边掏出一本刊物和一个小小的剪刀，一小瓶胶水。刊物是省纪检委办的，里边多是反腐倡廉的文章，可是，上边的一些文字已经被剪掉。 冯律师奇怪地：“这是怎么回事？” 李斌良没有回答，他已经完全明白，自己接到的那封举报信就来自这里。 又搜索了一番，再无任何发现。 李斌良拿出手机，拨通了邱晓明的号码：“邱局长，请你通知刑警大队和技术大队，立刻出现场……” 当他们将冯律师送回家之后再回到专案组办公室时，已经午夜时分。 三人首先仔细地研究发现的几封信。信的内容大致相同，都是讲述袁志发冤情的，内容也和冯律师讲述的大体相同，只是细节更丰富一些，可以看出，这些申诉信从十年前一直到今天，哪一年都有。 估计，这是留存的底稿。 最后，三人的目光被一封申诉信所吸引，上边落款都是今年，纸张也较新。信是打字稿，内容和前几封申诉信没什么区别，只是，这封信没有抬头，也就是说，寄给谁还不知道，抬头处是空着的。可以想象，他一定复印了多份，寄给谁时，临时把名字填上。 令人不解的是，别的信都是袁志发第一人称，落款也是袁志发的名字，而这封信则是第三人称，落款写着“知情人”三字。 Why is that? 结论很快得出，他是在隐瞒自己的身份，是一种自我保护措施。那些署名的旧信，是他未装疯之前在监狱里写的，后来，他开始装疯，就不敢再署名，害怕暴露自己，所以，只能假冒别人来写。 除了这些，还有没有别的东西，那个神秘的人拿走什么没有…… 外边有车声传进来，三人向窗外望去，是出现场的刑警和技术人员回来了。 很快，邱晓明匆匆进来。 秦志剑急忙迎上去：“怎么样，发现什么没有？” 邱晓明：“除了你们发现的，再没有别的了，不过，提取了好多足迹和指纹，需要分析鉴定。你们研究出什么来没有？” 李斌良把搜到的信笺交给邱晓明：“你先看一看吧！” 邱晓明很快看完，并没有现出太吃惊的样子，只是轻轻叹息一声，还给李斌良。 秦志剑看出问题：“邱局，信上的这些事，你是不是早就知道？” 邱晓明点点头：“基本属实。” 苗雨：“那就是冤案哪？” 邱晓明：“法院已经判了，而且十多年了，一直没有平反，所以，就不能认为是冤案了。” 秦志剑大声地：“你阴阳怪气怎么回事啊？你说袁志发的申诉信基本属实，又说他不是冤案，到底什么意思啊？” 邱晓明：“你喊什么？我的意思很明确。他自己认为是冤案，我也认为是冤案，山阳很多人都认为是冤案，可法院认为不是冤案，某些领导认为不是冤案。我一个小小的公安局副局长能怎么样？何况，当年判他的时候，我才是刑警队的副队长，又能怎么样？” 秦志剑：“你……你可以向上反映嘛，你……” 邱晓明冷笑一声，打断秦志剑的话：“如果我这样做的话，那么，下一个判的将是我。” 秦志剑：“这……这里边一定有问题，你说，到底怎么回事？袁志发因为什么被判，是不是有人陷害他？是不是有领导说话，这个人是谁？” 邱晓明：“对不起，我不知道。” 秦志剑还要追问，被李斌良制止：“志剑，算了，咱们还是先分析一下眼前的事情吧！” 其实，李斌良也想追问怎么回事，可是，他知道，邱晓明既然是这样的态度，有些话一定是不便说出口，袁志发的案件牵扯到很多人，不是这个专案组能解决的。 经过短暂的研究讨论，几人统一了认识：袁志发是装疯，而且就是目击者。 可是，他是怎样成为目击者的呢？是闲逛时偶然发现了罪犯？怎么会这么巧，凶手打眼和作案都被他发现了呢？他既然发现了，为什么不站出来公开举报呢？ 几人一时难以分析清楚。 另外，他又为什么要装疯呢？ 这最后一点，大家很快形成了一致意见，那就是，为了保护自己，害怕再受到迫害。这一点，从他的居住处发现的最后那封申诉信也能看得出来，上边的落款是知情人，连名字都没敢署。 看来，他这样做是正确的，即使他如此小心地保护自己，还是差点被灭口，现在还命悬一线之间。 李斌良问邱晓明：“邱局，袁志发现在怎么样？” 邱晓明：“还算稳定。我已经按你说的，派人二十四小时守在病房外边。” 秦志剑：“一定要选可靠的人，再不能出错了。” 邱晓明：“你放心吧，别的我不敢说，作为刑侦副局长，对手下的弟兄心里还是有数的。另外，我也得提醒一下，别老是疑神疑鬼，我们的警察多数是好样的！” 秦志剑：“可是，混进一个坏种就会坏了大事。别忘了，'疯子'是目击者，凶手是怎么知道的？” 邱晓明：“就算我们走漏了消息，可是，那封检举信上并没有署名，罪犯又怎么能这么快就知道谁写的，谁是目击者？” 秦志剑：“很简单。凶手不傻，他当时一定看到了他，只是没引起注意，当听说了有目击者的消息后，一下回想起当时遇到过谁，从而想到了他。” 邱晓明：“这么说，凶手应该认识袁志发？” 秦志剑：“你是说，凶手是本地人？也不一定，袁志发的信中写得很清楚，马强曾经和那个凶手在一起……这个先放一放吧，当务之急，是袁志发怎么会遭到灭口！” 邱晓明：“你是说，凶手是怎么知道有目击者的？我们的消息怎么走漏的？” 秦志剑：“对，我正想问你这个问题。” 邱晓明发火地：“你什么意思，难道是我跑的风？” 秦志剑哼声鼻子不再说话。 李斌良也没有说话，他看着面前的三个人，如果有人跑风，就应该在专案组内，就在眼前的三个人中，会是谁呢？秦志剑……不可能，他是个久经考验的刑警，深得林局长信任，而且是从清水来，在山阳没有什么瓜葛；邱晓明……也不可能，虽然有时暧昧一些，可他只是胆小谨慎而已；苗雨，也不可能啊……或许，他们不是有意给罪犯通风报信，而是无意中对谁讲过……如果这样，怎么会这么快传到罪犯耳中…… 李斌良看着面前的三人，表情严肃地：“现在，我不想就这件事追究下去，我只是希望，这是我们哪位同志缺乏警惕，无意中把我们内部的消息说给了外人，希望这个人好好想一想，想通了，能跟我谈一谈。” 秦志剑、邱晓明、苗雨三人互相看看，没有说话。李斌良再次发现，苗雨的脸色有些苍白。或许，这是错觉，她是疲劳所致。 李斌良：“行了，太晚了，休息吧，不过，大家也想想，我们下步该怎么办。” 邱晓明离去，苗雨也去了隔壁房间，李斌良和秦志剑开始脱衣上床。躺下之前，李斌良给江泉的林荫打了个电话，把最新发生的情况汇报了一下，林荫非常吃惊，说明天一早就赶来。 躺到床上，李斌良又和秦志剑低声谈了几句，虽然都感到迷茫，但也都认为案子有眉目了，从明天开始，要围绕袁志发工作，相信能从这条线上取得突破。入梦后，他居然梦到袁志发在医院里清醒过来，说出了真相，带着自己去抓凶手。 第二天早晨起床后，他听到令他震惊不已的消息。 消息是邱晓明告诉他的：经技术人员鉴定，提取的“疯子”袁志发的指纹和发案现场遗留的指纹相同。 This…… 难道，袁志发是凶手？
