Chapter 9 Chapter Eight Insiders

Yuan Zhifa is the murderer?The murderer is Yuan Zhifa... Li Binliang, Qin Zhijian, Miao Yu, and Qiu Xiaoming all found it hard to believe it. Qin Zhijian turned around excitedly in the room: "How is this possible? If Yuan Zhifa killed the person, why did he write a report letter to us, and who hit him with a car? There is a problem here, there must be a problem..." Li Binliang also felt that there was a problem, but where is the problem?Fingerprint identification is unmistakable, the fingerprints left at the murder scene are indeed Yuan Zhifa's fingerprints, how to explain? When Lin Yin came to the task force, he was also shocked by the news, and immediately held a meeting to conduct research, and Zeng Zeng, the elder of the Shanyang County Public Security Bureau, was invited to attend.

After the meeting started, Lin Yin asked everyone to analyze the situation. Except for Qin Zhijian who repeated his point of view, Li Binliang, Qiu Xiaoming, and Miao Yu all remained silent. Lin Yin said to Lao Zeng: "Director Zeng, let's talk about it!" Lao Zeng: "This... this is a matter for your special case team, and it's hard for me to talk about it as an outsider." Lin Yin: "You once said that this is Shanyang's case, and we are helping you!" Lao Zeng: "This...that's what I said, but the work of your task force is confidential. Director Lin, to be honest, if you hadn't insisted on asking me to attend this meeting, I would never have attended it. " After thinking for a while, "I see, since the comparison of fingerprints proves that the 'lunatic'...ah, I mean that Yuan Zhifa's fingerprints are the same as those left at the scene, which at least shows that he is seriously suspected. Maybe, this case He did it, Chief Qiu, don’t you think so?”

Qiu Xiaoming was not mentally prepared for Lao Zeng's question, he was taken aback for a moment, and after thinking about it, he answered: "Ah... yes... there is such a possibility." "What's the possibility?" Qin Zhijian suddenly said loudly: "If so, this case is too easy to solve! Let me ask you, why did Yuan Zhifa kill Secretary Zheng's wife and daughter, and is he crazy..." "Of course not." Old Zeng said unhappily, "Captain Qin, what do you mean by that? Director Lin asked me to share my opinion. I just started to criticize you. If you don't know, why don't you?" Thinking that the 'Cultural Revolution' is coming again, how can we keep people from talking?"

Qin Zhijian was a little embarrassed: "Director Zeng, I'm not attacking you, I'm..." Lao Zeng: "Isn't it aimed at me? Zhijian, I was kind to you when I was the police chief in Qingshui. At that time, how many people punished you and wanted to clear you out of the police station. How much pressure did I put on you? You were transferred to the office as the deputy director... Yes, I may not be as good to you as Director Lin. He was the one who proposed you to be the captain of the criminal police team, but anyway, I am also your old director. Speaking of which, when I was a criminal police officer , you are still in middle school!"

No one expected that Lao Zeng would say these words suddenly.Li Binliang knew in his heart that he was not only attacking Qin Zhijian, but also director Lin. They were the former police chiefs. Director Lin succeeded Lao Zeng and did a good job in Qingshui, but the two formed a knot because of this... … Sure enough, Director Lin took over the words: "Oh, Director Zeng, you have always been high-spirited, how can you be as knowledgeable as young people? Who doesn't know your old qualifications? How dare Qin Zhijian disrespect you? How dare I disrespect you? Secretary He of the Municipal Party Committee respects you, let alone us? However, we are now studying the case, Director Zeng, you should continue talking. Actually, what you just said is really instructive, but what Zhijian said is also reasonable, you Say, if Yuan Zhifa is really the murderer, what is his motive for committing the crime?"

Old Zeng snorted: "Motivation, let's see how to say it. Looking at it now, he can't be a lunatic, he must be faking it. As for the motivation... I came from Shanyang later, but I also know a little bit about what happened back then , Before he was sentenced, he sued everywhere, and once broke into the then county leader's office to threaten and intimidate, if someone else stopped him, something serious might happen...By the way, that county leader didn't offend him at that time, did he?" Qin Zhijian couldn't help but said, "Director Zeng, who is the county leader you're talking about?"

Old Zeng hesitated to speak: "This... I just heard it from someone, I don't know who it is... By the way, Director Qiu, you are an old man in Shanyang, you should know the situation!" Qiu Xiaoming hastily said, "No, no, it's been too many years, I forgot, I forgot!" Qin Zhijian snorted again: "Interesting... Then, how do you explain Yuan Zhifa's being hit by a car? Who hit him with a car? And, why did it happen when we just knew he was a witness? How did the murderer grasp our case? The internal situation of the group..." "Then you can only ask yourselves." Lao Zeng interrupted Qin Zhijian again, sarcastically, "However, you are all generals ordered by Director Lin, so logically, you are all very reliable, and it is impossible to leak the secret... By the way , you don’t doubt the people in our bureau, let alone them, even I, the chief of the public security bureau, don’t know what you know.”

Qin Zhijian: "Director Zeng, you mean someone in our task force leaked secrets, so who do you say?" Lao Zeng pulled his face down: "I didn't say that, I just said that you are all reliable, and it is impossible to leak the secret." He stood up, "Director Lin, I have something to do, so I will not participate in this meeting. Say, I pledge my full support." After Lao Zeng finished speaking, he turned around to leave, but Lin Yin hurriedly stopped him: "Director Zeng, what are you doing, sit down quickly..." Old Zeng refused to obey and was determined to leave. At this time, footsteps sounded outside the door, the door was pushed open, and a person strode into the meeting room: "Ah, you are all here, that's great, Director Lin, please allow me to greet you first. Hearty congratulations!"

It turned out to be Li Quan.He came just in time. Everyone stood up unanimously. Li Quan was different from the last time, he was very enthusiastic, shook hands with everyone one by one, and kept saying: "Thank you, thank you, everyone has worked hard, everyone, please sit down ,sit down!" As in the previous meeting, all the people sat down in their original positions. Li Quan's face was full of joy: "Director Lin, I couldn't sit still when I received your call, and I drove here immediately. Great, the case is about to be solved. I never thought that the murderer turned out to be an ex-prisoner pretending to be crazy. Also No wonder, he hides too deeply, and no one will think of him. How to put it, the task force has made a major breakthrough in such a short period of time. It seems that the decision of the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Public Security Bureau is correct. Our task force The group is capable of fighting, I have already reported to Secretary He, and he asked me to express my heartfelt congratulations and thanks to everyone on his behalf."

Li Quan finally shut up, but there was silence in the meeting place. Li Quan said strangely: "Director Lin, what's the matter, the case has been solved, why are you unhappy? By the way, Secretary He said that those who have made great contributions to solving the case will be rewarded heavily!" Lin Yin coughed and smiled apologetically: "This... everyone feels that it is too early to say that the case has been solved, and there are still many doubts that need to be clarified." Li Quan was puzzled: "Is there any doubt? Didn't you say on the phone that the fingerprints of this lunatic are the same as those left at the scene? This should be solid evidence. In my opinion, the case can be declared solved."

Qin Zhijian protested: "No, the case must not be announced. I think there is a problem here. At the very least, Yuan Zhi's motive for committing the crime has not been clarified yet." Li Quan: "This... This is indeed a problem. By the way, have you asked Secretary Zheng? He should know why this lunatic wanted to harm him..." Before he finished speaking, the mobile phone in Lao Zeng's arms rang. He took it out to look at it, and hurriedly put it to his ear: "Secretary Zheng, it's me... ah, he is sitting next to me!" Lao Zeng handed the phone to Lin Yin: "Director Lin, Secretary Zheng, he has something to say to you." Lin Yin took the phone: "Secretary Zheng, it's me...what, letter...OK, bring it!" Lin Yin put down his mobile phone: "Secretary Zheng said that he received two letters, which may be related to the case, and they will be sent right away." Li Quan: "Really, great, let's just ask him by the way." Lin Yin walked out: "He will arrive soon, I will go out to pick him up." Lao Zeng: "I will go too." Li Quan: "Wait for me." The three of them walked out, Qiu Xiaoming said to Li Binliang, Qin Zhijian and Miao Yu in a negotiating tone: "Let's go too!" Qin Zhijian: "If you want to go, you can go!" Qiu Xiaoming walked out behind Li Quan's buttocks. Only Li Binliang, Qin Zhijian and Miao Yu were left in the room. Qin Zhijian was still angrily: "The possibility of Yuan Zhi committing the crime is very small, and it is impossible to declare the case solved at all!" Miao Yu: "But, how to explain the fingerprints at the scene?" Li Binliang heard that Miao Yu intended to defend Li Quan.In fact, after Li Quan came to the venue, he paid attention to her expression and found that her eyes moved between him and Li Quan, which made him feel uncomfortable. Hearing what she said now, he felt even more uncomfortable. He hoped that Qin Zhijian would refute her. sentence. Qin Zhijian did exactly that.He stared at Miao Yu and said in a mocking tone: "Miao Yu, are you asking this question or are you asking for someone else? The presence of Yuan Zhifa's fingerprints at the scene can only indicate that he is suspected of committing the crime, but it does not mean that he is a criminal. Perhaps, he I went to the scene for some other reason, and when I discovered the situation, I left in a hurry...By the way, I have long wondered, the criminal’s method of committing the crime is very professional, and no fingerprints were found in the room, so why did he leave the fingerprints on the door?” Li Binliang also thought of this question, and when Qin Zhijian uttered it, he couldn't help but agree: "Yes, if Yuan Zhi really committed the crime, we must find out his motive for committing the crime." Miao Yu was obviously dissatisfied in her heart, but she couldn't come up with any strong evidence, so she faltered and said, "This... Yuan Zhifa's motives, wait for Secretary Zheng to come, and ask him to find out!" Miao Yu walked towards the window and said suddenly, "Hey, Secretary Zheng is here!" Li Binliang subconsciously walked to the window and looked downstairs. Qin Zhijian also came over curiously: "I have to take a good look at the image of this legendary secretary." A "Santana" drove into the compound of the Public Security Bureau. It was him, Zheng Nan, secretary of the Shanyang County Party Committee, and the "Santana" car was his identification. Li Binliang saw from the window that "Santana" stopped, and the people who greeted him stepped forward, but the order seemed to be a bit wrong, Lao Zeng walked in the front, followed by the tree shade, but Li Quan and Qiu Xiaoming fell behind. What's wrong? Zheng Nan came out of the car, although his face could not be seen clearly due to the distance, but his thin and capable figure clearly jumped into the eyes of the three of them. Qin Zhijian: "Looking at his body, he can be preliminarily identified as a clean and honest cadre. He doesn't have a lot of wine or meat in his belly. Otherwise, he would have gained weight a long time ago!" Li Binliang did not answer, but looked downstairs attentively. He saw that Secretary Zheng shook hands with Lao Zeng, Lin Yin, and Qiu Xiaoming respectively, but turned a blind eye to Li Quan's outstretched hand. come. strangeness. Qin Zhijian also saw the trick: "Hey, why didn't Secretary Zheng shake hands with our liaison officer?" Li Binliang didn't speak, and glanced at Miao Yu, her face was a bit embarrassed. Zheng Nan walked into the conference room accompanied by Lin Yin and other four people. Li Binliang, Miao Yu, and Qin Zhijian had already stood up, waiting for this respected and sympathetic county party secretary. Zheng Nan stood at the door, looking sharply at the three people in the room with a pair of red eyes.At the same time, there is also an awe-inspiring and inviolable aura invisibly pressing over him. Lin Yin: "Secretary Zheng, these three are members of the special case team. You have seen both of them. This is Li Binliang, the deputy director of criminal investigation of the Jiangquan Public Security Bureau; this is Miao Yu, the criminal investigation detachment of the Municipal Public Security Bureau. This is Qin Zhijian, the head of the Criminal Police Division of the Qingshui City Public Security Bureau." Zheng Nan stepped forward to shake hands one by one, eyes gliding over Li Binliang's eyes: "Ah, I've seen it, I've seen it." While shaking hands, Li Binliang took a closer look at the secretary of the county party committee again. Perhaps because he was closer and the environment was more stable, he could see more clearly without the sand from that day on his body.He felt that he was thinner than that day, his eyes were redder, and white hairs appeared on his temples. When he shook hands, he felt that his hands were cold, which made him feel a great pain from the bottom of his heart. The body and mind of the county party secretary came over.He wanted to say something to comfort him, but he felt that it was inappropriate to say anything. The best comfort was to solve the case as soon as possible and avenge him. Perhaps, this would free him from the pain... No, could it be that solving the case would free him from the pain? Is it the pain of a husband, a father's wife and daughter being murdered?No, probably never.If your own daughter was killed, can you forget the pain because the case is solved and the murderer is brought to justice... After such an association, Li Binliang realized what kind of pain the county party secretary in front of him was carrying.However, he then said to himself in his heart, although solving the case could not completely relieve him of his pain, he could always be comforted! Several people sat around the conference table, Miao Yu poured water for everyone, and put the first glass in front of Zheng Nan. Li Binliang immediately noticed that this time, it was Zheng Nan who was sitting in the middle, with Lin Yin and Lao Zeng on both sides, and Li Quan was sitting on the other side of the tree shade. With a humble expression.Probably, in front of such an upright county party secretary, he had to put away his arrogance. Secretary Zheng said to Lin Yin: "Director Lin, let's start?" Lin Yin nodded: "Let's start, what are you talking about?" Zheng Nan: "I have received two letters, please check first to see if it is related to the case!" As Zheng Nan said, he took out two letters from his bag, handed one to Lin Yin and the other to Li Binliang. Li Binliang opened it hastily, and at a glance he saw that this letter looked familiar, and after another look, he found that it was one of those complaint letters sent by Yuan Zhi, that is, the one written late and without a header.Of course, this letter already has a letter titled "Dear Secretary Zheng" and signed "an insider". How is this going? Li Binliang flipped through it quickly, and found that it was indeed the letter, except for the title and signature, there was no difference. This... It seems that Yuan Zhifa sent this letter to Secretary Zheng.However, this is a very normal thing, what can it mean? Li Binliang raised his head and looked towards Lin Yin. Lin Yin had already read the letter in his hand, with no expression on his face.The two exchanged letters. This letter also seemed familiar: it was cut out of newspapers with scissors and pasted on white paper. Li Binliang suddenly thought of the anonymous report letter Yuan Zhifa sent to him. Could it be that Zheng Nan also received the same letter... No, they are just the same in form, but completely different in content. Li Binliang's heart jumped excitedly after reading two lines. The text affixed to the letter reads: Dear Secretary Zheng: How are you feeling recently?Are you not a clean official?Don't you want to solve the petition problem?So, I wrote you a petition letter for so long, why didn't you solve it, and why didn't you even pay attention to it?Now, you have tasted the feeling of the separation of wives and children, just wait, I have a better way to deal with you! This…… Li Binliang was shocked. The two letters were passed in the hands of several people in turn, and everyone showed the same shocked expression. After reading the letter, Li Quan immediately became excited and patted the letter: "This is the evidence, it must be Yuan Zhifa who did it, this time it's done, we can declare the case solved!" Zheng Nan was puzzled: "What, the case has been solved?" Li Quan looked at Lin Yin: "Director Lin..." Lin Yin did not express his opinion, but picked up the first letter and looked at the postmark, and said to Zheng Nan: "Secretary Zheng, the date on the postmark indicates that you have received this letter for a long time, why didn't you take it out sooner?" Come out?" Zheng Nan: "Since I came to Shanyang, I have received too many petition letters, both anonymous and signed. This letter is anonymous, and it reflects something that happened more than ten years ago, so I didn't bother to deal with it. , who thought it would be related to the case?" Qin Zhijian: "Then, why did you take it out now?" Zheng Nan: "Because I received the second letter." Zheng Nan pointed to the second letter in Qin Zhijian's hand, "I received it today because the writer pointed out that I did not deal with his petition letter, And there are very few such things, so I quickly found this letter and sent it to you to see if there is any connection between them." There is a connection, too much connection. The two letters must have been written by one person, and this person is Yuan Zhifa. Based on the current evidence, it can be basically concluded that he is the murderer. However, at this time he was lying in the hospital, unconscious. But, this...isn't it too coincidental? Qin Zhijian checked the postmark of the envelope in his hand: "This letter was sent today, and Yuan Zhifa happened yesterday. He is lying unconscious in the hospital, how can he go out and send the letter?" Li Quan laughed lightly: "Brigade Qin, you are an old criminal investigator, why have you forgotten this common sense. The letter is not postmarked after it is sent. It will be postmarked this morning, at least it will be mailed yesterday." This analysis was so convincing that Qin Zhijian stopped talking. Li Quan continued: "Looking at it now, the matter is very clear. Yuan Zhifa refused to accept his sentence and was imprisoned. After he was released from prison, he pretended to be crazy and foolish. He kept writing anonymous letters to leaders at all levels, complaining about his grievances, and attempting to rehabilitate him. Secretary Zheng was transferred to Sanyang Finally, because he dealt with the petition issue seriously, he thought there was an opportunity, so he wrote a petition letter to Secretary Zheng. Because he was afraid of revealing his identity, he still adopted the method of anonymity. After the letter was sent, because there was no response, he told Secretary Zheng Holding a grudge, he took revenge and murdered. Later, he felt that he could not vent his anger, so he wrote a letter to Secretary Zheng, threatening to hurt him.” After Li Quan finished speaking, the room was silent for a while, and everyone seemed to be convinced. What he said was well-founded, as if that was the case, but... But, could the case be solved just like that... Li Quan spoke again: "Secretary Zheng, after your wife and daughter were killed, someone called you, right?" Zheng Nan didn't look at Li Quan: "Yes, that person is the murderer. After he killed someone, he asked me to go home and take a look..." Zheng Nan's throat choked up. Li Quan: "Last time, he made a phone call to hurt you, and now he wrote a letter to hurt you. The method is exactly the same. I think the case can be closed. Secretary Zheng, what do you think?" Zheng Nan shook her head slightly: "This... I don't know very well, Yuan Zhifa... this person was mentioned in this petition letter, is it him? What did you say about a lunatic just now? What's going on?" Li Quan looked at Lin Yin, "Director Lin, please report the situation to Secretary Zheng!" Lin Yin: "Binliang, can you talk?" Li Binliang: "This... alright!" Li Binliang briefly reported Yuan Zhifa's situation to Secretary Zheng, and Zheng Nan showed a surprised expression: "So, he did it? Is that lunatic? How could he be like this? I often see him, and I also asked the civil affairs department to The Bureau will arrange for him, is this... possible?" Li Quan: "It's not possible, but it is possible. Now, everything is clear, he did it!" Zheng Nan: "This... If this is the case, then the case can be closed!" Turning to Lin Yin: "Director Lin, I have finished what I want to say. If you have nothing else to do, I have to go!" Zheng Nan stood up and wanted to leave, but before Lin Yin and Li Binliang could stop her, Miao Yu had already stood up: "Secretary Zheng, wait a minute, I have something to ask you for advice." Zheng Nan obviously didn't want to stay longer, he still stood, looked at Miao Yu and said, "Okay, tell me." Miao Yu was also standing, and what she asked was exactly what Li Binliang was thinking: "Secretary Zheng, during our investigation and visits, the masses responded very well to you, saying that you can do practical things for the masses. I heard Director Ming say, You also attach great importance to petition work, but why haven't you dealt with Yuan Zhifa's appeal letter for so long?" The eyes of several people fell on Miao Yu and Zheng Nan.Li Quan hastily said, "Miao Yu, didn't Secretary Zheng say that? This letter is anonymous, and the problem has been reported for too long, and no one can deal with it." Miao Yu: "Secretary Zheng, is that so? We have read this letter, and the problems reflected in it are very serious. Although it is anonymous, according to your style, you should pay attention to it. Even if you don't deal with it, you should investigate it! " Zheng Nan met Miao Yu's gaze: "I have already investigated." Miao Yu: "Really? Then what measures did you take, why didn't you deal with it?" Zheng Nan: "Because it is beyond my scope of power." Qin Zhijian interjected, "Why, is it because of time?" Zheng Nan: "No. First, this case was decided by the court. If it is an unjust and wrongly decided case, it should be resolved by the judiciary. I cannot interfere with the independent handling of the case by the judiciary. Second, and more importantly, I have no right to intervene with the people involved in this case. .” Everyone was attracted by Zheng Nan's words.Miao Yu blurted out and asked, "Who is it, why can't you ask?" Li Quan: "Miao Yu, you..." Zheng Nan: "Secretary Li, don't stop me, I can tell you. This case was personally arrested by Comrade He Dabin, the secretary of the county party committee at the time and now the party secretary of Baishan City." This…… Everyone was stunned for a moment, and Miao Yu didn't ask any more questions. Zheng Nan said to Miao Yu, "Excuse me, is there anything else I want to ask?" Miao Yu could no longer speak. Zheng Nan left his seat again, Li Binliang stood up hastily: "Secretary Zheng, I'm sorry, please wait a little longer...can we...can we talk alone?" Everyone's eyes fell on Li Binliang. Zheng Nan squinted at Li Binliang: "Is it okay to say it here?" Li Binliang: "This... Secretary Zheng, what I want to ask is the topic I asked before, who have you offended in Shanyang. I mean, the person you offended the most, who may retaliate against you. " Zheng Nan glanced at Li Quan, then immediately looked away, and turned to Li Binliang: "I remember answering your question once, I offended many people, I can't tell who offended more severely, and who offended me less. Can't say who might take revenge on me." Miao Yu suddenly said, "How is Zhao Hanxiong? Some people reported that you offended him very hard, is that so?" The room fell silent for a while, and Li Binliang felt that Miao Yu was a bit rash, but he really wanted to ask this question, so he didn't stop him. Li Quan couldn't help but said, "Miao Yu, don't..." Miao Yu: "Sorry, I'm at work. Secretary Zheng, is this question difficult to answer?" Zheng Nan: "It's not difficult. After I arrived in Shanyang, I have been performing my duties normally. Some practices may have harmed Zhao Hanxiong's interests. As for the extent to which I offended him, I can't tell. You'd better ask him .” Miao Yu: "Secretary Zheng, we want to hear your judgment. Do you think Zhao Hanxiong can take revenge on you?" A complex expression flashed across Zheng Nan's face, but he immediately shook his head: "Impossible." Miao Yu: "Why, are you sure?" Zheng Nan: "Yes. Because, as you talked about just now, the criminal has been arrested and the case has been solved. Naturally, it cannot be Zhao Hanxiong." Miao Yu added: "Secretary Zheng, it's too early to solve the case, and many issues have not been clarified yet. Let me ask one more question at the end. What do you think of Sun Tiegang? Have you offended him? Can he take revenge on you?" " Angry flames flashed across Zheng Nan's face, but he still maintained restraint: "It's a little too much, well, let me tell you clearly, before today, I doubted everyone and thought that anyone might be a criminal, but, Reason tells me that this is impossible. The murderer is just one person. As for who he is, I need you to investigate...Of course, now that the criminal is basically confirmed, there is no need to do this anymore...By the way, I would like to talk about it here. I really have something to say." He sat down and looked at the crowd solemnly and seriously, "How should I put it, I am the secretary of the Shanyang County Party Committee. For my case, the police have suffered a lot in the past few months. At the same time, it also spent a lot of financial and material resources. The financial appropriation alone is hundreds of thousands. Now, a task force has been set up, which also needs funding guarantees. If this case happened to ordinary people, can it be done like this? What will the public think? So, I have to consider this. Therefore, now that the case has been solved, I hope that the special case team can withdraw earlier, and the Shanyang County Public Security Bureau can also do some remaining work.” To Lao Zeng , "Director Zeng, do you think so?" Lao Zeng was taken aback for a moment, then nodded hastily: "Ah... yes, yes." Zheng Nan: "Okay, I have nothing more to say. Goodbye!" After Zheng Nan finished speaking, he turned his head and walked out. Several people wanted to send him out, but Li Quan stopped everyone: "No one moves, I will do it alone, Secretary Zheng, I will see you off!" Secretary Zheng didn't say anything, and walked out without looking back, Li Quan hurriedly followed behind. Li Binliang pretended to be careless and walked to the window, looked out, and saw that Li Quan was still talking behind Secretary Zheng, and Secretary Zheng ignored him with a dignified expression, opened the car door, and got into the car. Li Quan could only watch the shadow of the car go away and disappear in dismay, showing a bewildered and lost figure from the back. Li Binliang faintly felt that there was a special and unknown relationship between Li Quan and Zheng Nan. However, when Li Quan returned to the meeting room, he had already returned to his normal state. He naturally sat in the central seat and said loudly to Lin Yin: "Director Lin, Secretary Zheng just talked about his opinion. I think it's very good. We started to think about the problem. Yes, we only thought about solving the case, but we didn’t think about the social impact. Secretary Zheng said that the key was on the line. The relatives of the county party secretary were killed, and the police put so much effort into it. If ordinary people could do this What's more, we will soon face the general election and other issues. Therefore, I think Secretary Zheng's words are very reasonable. Fortunately, the case has been solved, and I think the task force can be withdrawn. Of course, credit should be credited, anyway. , the case was solved by everyone..." "I don't agree." Qin Zhijian couldn't help standing up, "There are so many things that haven't been clarified, how can the task force be withdrawn?" Li Quan was dissatisfied: "What else is unclear? Isn't everything very clear?" Qin Zhijian: "No. Even if Yuan Zhifa killed the person, then who hit him with a car? Is there anyone else behind him?" Li Quan: "This... this may be a traffic accident, which has nothing to do with the case at all." Qin Zhijian: "Impossible. There is no such a coincidence in the world. We found that he might be a witness. When we were looking for him, a car accident happened suddenly. This was not a car accident, it was a silence. There must be someone else behind Yuan Zhifa. " Li Quan frowned: "Comrade Qin Zhijian, you are a criminal police officer, you must have evidence for what you say. Can you prove that Yuan Zhifa's collision was not a car accident?" Qin Zhijian: "No. However, you can't prove that this was an accident. So I suggest that, at the very least, we wait until Yuan Zhifa wakes up and the results of the interrogation come before our task force can withdraw." Li Quan sneered: "So, if Yuan Zhifa never wakes up, the task force will never withdraw?" Qin Zhijian: "However, there are indeed many problems that have not been clarified. For example, Ma Qiang has not been caught yet, and we still found a figure in Yuan Zhifa's hiding place..." Li Quan waved his hand impatiently: "Can this be handed over to the Sanyang Public Security Bureau for further investigation! Director Zeng, please express your opinion, you can take care of these trivial matters!" Lao Zeng kept turning his eyes to think about something, and felt a little sudden to Li Quan's question: "Ah... what... this... it's not easy to check..." Li Quan became stern: "Director Zeng, are you still the chief of the Public Security Bureau? The task force has already investigated the case to such an extent that you can't do the rest of the finishing work?" Old Zeng hastily changed his words: "Ah... okay, since the municipal party committee trusts us, we will try our best. Of course, this kind of thing can't be guaranteed. We will definitely try our best. Chief Qiu, do you think so?" Qiu Xiaoming: "This..." Li Quan: "Director Qiu, you are the deputy director of criminal investigation." Qiu Xiaoming: "That's... okay, our Shanyang Public Security Bureau will do our best!" Li Quan turned to Lin Yin: "Director Lin, let's do this!" Lin Yin: "Ah, yes, but I can't make the decision, I have to ask Director Gu for instructions. Moreover, this is a case supervised by the Provincial Public Security Department, and the special case team was established according to their instructions. I am afraid that the Municipal Bureau will also have to ask the Provincial Department for instructions. .” Li Quan was silent for a moment: "The public security organs must be placed under the absolute leadership of the party. That's it, I have to go back and report to the leaders of the municipal party committee!" Li Quan walked out, Lin Yin, Lao Zeng, and Qiu Xiaoming wanted to see him off, but Miao Yu stopped him: "Director Lin, please hurry up, I'll just see him off!" Miao Yu walked out behind Li Quan, and everyone stayed indoors knowingly. Li Binliang took a look at Lin Yin, and found that Lin Yin was also looking at him, so he hurriedly looked away. Lao Zeng: "Director Lin, it's none of my business, I'm busy with other things. By the way, now, I want to express my true attitude: the special case team cannot be withdrawn, and our Shanyang Public Security Bureau has no ability to take over this case." Case. Director Qiu, what do you think?" Qiu Xiaoming hastily said, "That's right, the task force cannot be withdrawn, and our Shanyang Public Security Bureau cannot accept this case." Qin Zhijian pointed to Qiu Xiaoming: "You...what are you guys doing? You say one thing in front of your face and another in your back. What you said just now was good, but you changed it as soon as you left!" Old Zeng grinned: "Captain Qin, have you forgotten the nickname you gave me? I'm 'Old Traitor', so I'll cheat once!" After Lao Zeng finished speaking, he turned and left. Only Lin Yin, Li Binliang, Qin Zhijian and Qiu Xiaoming were left in the office. Qin Zhijian sat in his seat with a face of embarrassment and did not speak. Qiu Xiaoming chuckled lightly. Qin Zhijian became angry from embarrassment: "What are you laughing at?" Qiu Xiaoming: "I'm laughing, what's bothering you? However, this nickname is quite accurate, 'Old Traitor'..." Qin Zhijian slapped the table: "What's the big deal? Is he a cunning and cunning man? Such a person actually occupies the position of the police chief... By the way, you are not a good person either. You already knew that Secretary He was involved in Yuan Zhifa's incident. Yes or no?" Qiu Xiaoming: "Then what's the matter? Not only me, but many people know that this has nothing to do with the case. I have nothing to say about it. What's wrong with it?" Qin Zhijian: "I think you are looking for illness, which has nothing to do with the case? You still say that? Even if Yuan Zhifa is the murderer, what is the root cause of his crime? Isn't it caused by the unjust case back then?" Qiu Xiaoming: "Why, do you think Yuan Zhifa is the murderer?" Qin Zhijian: "This...you get away." To Lin Yin, "Director Lin, I think there is still a problem here." Lin Yin encouraged Qin Zhijian with his eyes: "Where is the problem?" Qin Zhijian: "A lot. Even if Yuan Zhifa is the murderer, he must have accomplices, why? Think about it, with his crazy appearance, who in Shanyang doesn't know him? He has to write so many letters and send To go out, you have to hide from people's eyes, and you can't do it without help. Also, I think Secretary Zheng's behavior is a bit wrong. As a husband and father, his wife and daughter were killed, he should be the person who most hopes to solve the case. Moreover, even if the case is solved, he will not believe it easily, but he offered to close the case and asked us to retreat..." Li Binliang's heart was touched again. Although Qin Zhijian was a little quick-tempered, he had a quick mind.Yes, Zheng Nan's behavior is a bit abnormal. Ordinary victims, if their relatives are killed and the case is solved, they will definitely be overjoyed and saddened, and they will learn more about the murderer's situation. But, he... Could it be that his level of thought is really high? To this extent, everything is based on the overall situation, and even the death of his wife and daughter is ignored?Perhaps, he is restraining himself, he wants to know less about these things, less pain... No, if it were him, he would never be like this. If possible, he must meet the murderer and kill him... Qin Zhijian's voice reached the eardrums: "...Now, the car and the person who hit Yuan Zhifa have not been found, Ma Qiang escaped and was not caught, and the figure we saw in the unfinished building yesterday was not found. Qing, how can it be withdrawn? Besides, we found out that there was something wrong with Yuan Zhifa at noon yesterday, but someone immediately silenced him. Is it a coincidence that the letter addressed to Secretary Zheng appeared again this morning? I think that all of this There is a black hand behind the scenes. Chief Lin, let me say it again, our task force must not withdraw!" Lin Yin: "Don't talk about this matter. If we don't withdraw, we will continue to work for a day. Let's talk about it, what should we do next?" Qin Zhijian thought for a while: "At present, there are only two ways, one is to find the person and car that hit Yuan Zhifa, and the other is to catch Ma Qiang... By the way, this time, our actions must be kept secret, and we must not do it again. The wind is running!" Qiu Xiaoming laughed again: "This is not something that can be done immediately. Now, you don't even know how the secret was leaked, so why keep it secret?" Qin Zhijian said angrily: "I think you are suspicious, our special case team, you are from Shanyang..." "You..." Qiu Xiaoming called out to Qu nervously, "Qin Zhijian, are you joking or are you serious? You can't talk nonsense. I'm from Shanyang, but I swear in the name of the police that I never leaked any secrets. !" Qin Zhijian: "Who is that? Anyway, he is an insider of our task force." Lin Yin: "Let's not talk about this, hey, let's study it in detail, Miao Yu, why hasn't he come back for so long?" Qiu Xiaoming smiled ambiguously again, and glanced at Li Binliang. Qin Zhijian was also looking at Li Binliang, as if he had done something wrong. Li Binliang felt uncomfortable for a while. 还是那辆“奔驰”，还是那种环境，甚至收录机播放的还是那首抒情的歌曲，然而，气氛和上次却完全不同。 这次，苗雨是当着大家的面，随着李权离开，进入车内的。应该说，这是二人关系上的一个突破，或者说是一个转折的契机，李权本应为此而兴奋，可是，他好像没有意识到这一点，上车后，一直沉默着。 苗雨也同样沉默着，她在倒视镜中看到的是一张镇定自信的男子面庞，可是，她又在这张相同的面孔上看出了勉强。 这回，是苗雨先打破了沉默：“怎么不说话，有心事？” 李权一怔，马上笑了：“没有啊，有什么心事？” 苗雨：“你应该了解我的性格，我不喜欢肤浅的男人，但是，我更不喜欢套中人。” 李权：“套中人？” 苗雨：“你没看过契诃夫的小说吗？我说的是那种把自己的真实思想严严实实包裹起来的人。” 李权：“你说我……可是，我真的没有什么心事。” 苗雨：“那好，我问你两件事，你要如实回答。” 李权向倒视镜里看了一眼：“好，你问吧！” 苗雨：“第一，你和郑书记之间是不是有什么问题？” 平稳的“奔驰”似乎微微颤抖了一下。 李权：“没有啊，你怎么忽然说起这个？” 苗雨：“你说呢？如果真的没问题，你对他为什么那么……谦虚？” 她是思考了一下才选了“谦虚”这个字眼，其实，她真正想用的是“谦卑”或者“敬畏”。自跟他相处以来，她第一次发现他对另外一个人是这样的态度。 李权也稍稍思考了一下：“啊……这很正常吗，虽然我的级别和他相同，可是，我提得晚，也只是一个秘书，他比我提正处早不说，还是个县委书记，我对他当然要谦虚点了！” 苗雨：“可是，我注意过，你见到级别更高的领导，也没有这样过。” 李权：“因人而异。郑楠在山阳的政绩太突出了，你没听到他的口碑吗？这样的人，谁敢不尊重呢？” 苗雨：“就因为这个？不止吧！” 李权又想了想：“当然不止这一点，还有更重要的一点，他的妻子和女儿被害了。怎么样，这样的回答你还满意吧！” 应该承认，这个回答很有道理，也很有说服力。真是这样，别说他，就是自己见到郑楠，不也是自然而然地从心中生出一种敬畏的感情吗？可是……她还是没有完全信服，还是觉得有别的原因，但是，她知道自己问不出来，就提出了第二个问题： “第二，你曾向我问过我们专案组内部的情况，我告诉过你，李斌良接到一封匿名举报信，现在已经查明，写信的人就是袁志发，可是，在我们找到他之前，他却险遭灭口，你怎么看这件事？” 李权轻声一笑：“审讯我吗？” 苗雨：“不要转移话题。告诉你，大家都认为有人泄密，弄得我很尴尬。” 李权：“你是说，这事和我有关？好，就算你告诉了我，我又跑了风，可是，我怎么能知道写举报信的是袁志发？” 苗雨：“我们专案组分析过了，如果这个消息传到罪犯耳中，他们会回想当时在现场出现过的人，从而分析到是他。所以，请你对我说实话，你对别人说过这事没有？” 李权干脆地：“说过。” 苗雨：“谁？” 李权：“市委何书记。我向他汇报过！” 苗雨语塞，片刻，喃喃自语地：“反正，我只对你说过这事，再没对任何人说过……” 李权：“真有趣，你怎么非要往自己身上揽呢？或许，是别人泄露出去的，我早说过，别看是专案组成员，也不是个个可靠。你仔细想一想，就没有别人可疑？” 苗雨真的想了想：“不，林局长不可能，李斌良和秦志剑是外来的，和山阳没有关系，也不可能。原来，我有些怀疑邱晓明，可是，后来才发觉，他也是可靠的人……” 李权：“那可不一定，有些人，表面上看不出来……对了，今后，有什么新情况你还得继续告诉我。” 苗雨：“还有必要这样做吗？你不是要我们专案组撤出山阳吗？” 李权笑了一声：“我只是建议，看林荫的样子，他们肯定不会听我的。” 苗雨：“你不是要向市委领导汇报吗？” 李权：“可是，他们肯定会向省公安厅汇报，请求支持，所以，专案组十有八九撤不成。” 苗雨：“我看，根本就不应该撤，秦志剑说得对，目前，还有很多事情没有查清，专案组不能撤。” 李权：“所以，我才请你继续注意情况……” 苗雨的手机响了起来，打断她的话，她拿出来放到耳边：“您好……是我……好，我马上回去！”放下手机，“李局长打来的，有急事，让我马上回去。” 李权放慢车速：“急事，什么事？” 苗雨：“他没有说。” 李权：“要我送你吗？” 苗雨：“不要，我打车回去。” 李权把车停下来，突然一把拉住苗雨的手臂。 他的动作使她吃了一惊：“干什么？” 李权放开苗雨：“没什么，你舅舅的事我给他串联过了，可以在这次换届中考虑。” 苗雨：“考虑？这算什么……” 李权：“你放心，我一定要他们把考虑变成现实。” 苗雨：“你这么有把握？” 李权：“当然，在这种事情上，我要达到的目的从来没有落空过。” 苗雨不解地看着李权：“那就先谢谢你了。不过，我不能理解，你只是一个秘书，是怎么做到这一点的呢？” 李权：“事在人为，你学过哲学没有？任何事物都是有规律和规则的，只要你深入了解并掌握了这个规律和规则，并善于应用它，就会无往而不利。” 苗雨：“我有点听不明白，你说一说，是什么规则？” 李权笑而不答。 苗雨：“怎么，保密吗？到底什么规则，我也可以学一学呀！” 李权：“这种规则只可意会，不能言传。” 苗雨：“你是说……潜规则？” 李权：“对，你说得很准确，是潜规则，这种规则不是写到纸上的，可是，它在现实中要比那些写在红头文件上的规则有用得多。” 苗雨：“这么说，你就是按这种潜规则行事了。” 李权还是笑而不答。 苗雨看着李权：“我记得，你说过，要下基层当县长，县委书记，想去哪里，是山阳吗，这也一定能实现了？郑书记得给你让位了？” 李权一笑，摇摇头：“不，郑楠这个样子，我怎么忍心把他顶下来！” 苗雨：“那么，是哪里，江泉，清水……” 李权还是摇头：“不，我已经改变了主意，这次上去不上去都无所谓，我的长远目标并不在白山地区。” 苗雨：“那你的目标是什么？省里，中央？” 李权又笑了笑：“你将来会看到的。” 苗雨：“好吧，我就等着看吧。再见！” 苗雨拉开车门要下车，可是，又被李权拉住手臂：“等一等！” 苗雨盯着他：“你还干什么？” 李权：“我希望很快知道专案组发生了什么急事。” 苗雨：“这也是潜规则吗？” 李权：“可以这样理解。” 苗雨不再说话，拉开车门走出去，李权按了两声喇叭表示再见，微笑着盯着她秀丽的背影，上了一辆出租车离去。 出租车已经没了影子，可是，他仍然在原地没有马上启车，身旁的座位早已经空了，可是，他觉得她还坐在那里，似乎还能感受到她的体温，担心车一启动而失去这种感觉。他觉得自己真的太爱她了，每次和她见面，都痛苦地压抑着体内的冲动，依着他的本性，他早该“拿下”她了，可是，她不是普通的女子，她的美丽，她的性格，她的警察身份都使他不敢妄动，他害怕妄动会惊跑了她。 他就这样呆呆地坐了好一会儿，直到手机忽然响起，才把他拉回现实中来，使他想到还有多么重要的事情要办。 他把手机放到耳边，嗯、啊了两句，然后说：“你要小心，专案组好像又出了什么急事……” 专案组真的出了急事，一件怪事，一件他们不能不重视的事。 就在几人犯愁下步工作如何开展，哪里去寻找线索时，李斌良的手机响了，里边传出的是一个怪里怪气的嗓音：“是李局长吗？” 李斌良奇怪地：“是我，你是谁？” 对方答非所问，语速急促地：“李局长，你注意听好，是马强开车撞的袁志发，他可能藏在南平，你们快想办法抓住他！” 李斌良：“什么？你是谁，你怎么知道……” 没等李斌良说完，对方把电话撂了。 What's going on here? 李斌良看了看通讯记录，这是一部神州行手机，肯定没处查去，他只能把它存入手机的号码簿中，打上“可疑号码”四个字。 他把电话里的情况向林荫、秦志剑和邱晓明做了介绍。 秦志剑：“有这种事……你听出来没有，这个人是谁？” 李斌良：“听不出来，他的声音很怪，好像故意装出来的，以掩饰自己的真实声音。” 秦志剑：“如果是这样，他有可能是你认识的人。” 李斌良：“这……我想不起来。” 林荫：“谁打来的以后再说，先分析一下，这个电话的可信性如何。” 秦志剑：“不管可信性如何，都得重视……我怎么觉着，有一双眼睛在监视着我们，而且，这双眼睛不是一个人，是一伙人，是一股说不清的力量……你们看，我们没来之前，什么也查不到，我们一来，先是袁志发给我们写信举报马强，现在，我们正犯愁下步怎么办，又有人打来电话举报马强……” 一直没吭声的邱晓明突然抢过话头：“这个人肯定和袁志发是一伙的。” 李斌良：“为什么？” 邱晓明：“你们看，袁志发举报的是马强，这个电话举报的也是马强，而且，是在袁志发被撞后打来的……可是，他怎么知道是马强撞的袁志发，藏在南平呢？为什么不站出来向咱们举报呢？” 秦志剑：“不管怎么回事，我们也得重视。你们想一想，如果我们原来的分析没错，袁志发是目击者，看到了马强和凶手在一起打眼，那么，最着急灭口的人只能是马强和那个凶手，我觉得，这个电话的可信性很大，咱们应该立刻同南平警方取得联系，想办法抓马强，林局，李局，你们说呢？” 李斌良和林荫互相看了一眼，没有说话。 李斌良表面镇静，其实，大脑轰轰直响：这到底是怎么回事呢？如果这个电话真实可信，如果真是马强实施了对袁志发的灭口，那么，马强的后边极有可能是赵汉雄…… 林荫显然和李斌良想到了一起，他忽然叹口气道：“事情都赶到一起了，我还得去江泉破袭击赵汉雄的案子……那件事又是谁干的呢？” 李斌良心里突然闪过一个念头：这…… 李斌良看了林荫一眼，发现林荫也在看着他。 林荫：“我看就这样吧，你们下步的工作重点就是抓捕马强，具体怎么办你们自己研究，我得马上去江泉，有什么情况随时通话！” 林荫说完，向李斌良使了个眼色，向外走去。 李斌良急忙跟在后边：“我送送你。” 二人停在公安局办公楼门外，互相凝视着。 林荫：“把你心里想的说出来吧！” 李斌良迎着林荫的目光：“如果电话反映的情况属实的话，此案有可能牵扯到赵汉雄。” 林荫：“继续说。” 李斌良：“这……我想，发生在江泉的袭击赵汉雄案件，会不会和我们现在侦查的案件之间有什么联系？” 林荫：“如果真是这样，这起案件就更复杂了，恐怕，正像我们分析过的那样，会牵扯到很多人，甚至，这不仅仅是一起刑事案件。我们对此要有充分的思想准备。” Li Binliang: "Yes." 林荫走向自己的“三菱”，拉开车门时忽然又停住：“斌良，你对苗雨到底怎么看的？” 李斌良浑身一阵燥热：“你就别操这个心了，我们不可能……” 林荫：“事在人为，这是个好机会，你一定要把握住。” 李斌良：“可是，你没看出来吗？她和李权……我怎么和人家比？” 林荫：“对，你是不能和他比，你比他强得多。斌良，跟你说实话，我这样做并不止是为了你，也是为了她，我觉得，她和他并不能得到幸福。真的！” 李斌良还要说什么，忽见一台出租车停到公安局大院门口，苗雨从里边走出来。 林荫也看到了苗雨，低声对李斌良：“你回去吧，抓紧研究怎么抓马强，我有事和苗雨谈。” 李斌良急忙转身走回办公楼，尽管没有回头，可他还是感觉到，林局长拦住了苗雨。 他们会说什么呢？ 林荫用目光拦住了苗雨。 苗雨迟疑了一下，垂着眼睛走过来：“林局长，有事吗？” 林荫：“李权走了？” 苗雨：“走了。有什么事吗？” 林荫：“有，我要说什么你应该知道。” 苗雨不快地：“我知道，谢谢您的关心。” 林荫：“苗雨，你应该明白，我是为了你好。我觉得，你应该有辨识人的能力，你……” 苗雨故意地：“不，林局长，你太高看我了，其实，我就是普通的女人，我和所有女人一样，希望有人爱，有人关心……林局长，我非常尊重你，可是，这是我的私事，请你不要操心了！” 苗雨说完，头也不回地向楼内走去。 苗雨知道林荫在后边看着自己，可是，依然头也不回。她知道自己不该这样做，没有道理这样做，却还是这样做了。推门走进楼时，她不知为什么忽然产生要流泪的感觉，好不容易才克制住，直到专案组办公室门外，才勉强平静下来，推门走进去。 室内，李斌良正在接电话：“……什么……梁军……好，太谢谢你们了，我们马上对他进行突审，有情况咱们再联系！” 李斌良放下电话，看着秦志剑、邱晓明和苗雨三人好一会儿才平静下来：“太巧了，有人举报马强藏在南平，现在，南平市公安局刑警大队又打来电话，他们说，接到'乔亮'的协查通报后，发现他的照片和当地一个叫梁军的人非常相像，而这个梁军和当地黑恶势力关系密切，此时恰好不在家中！” 秦志剑一拍大腿：“太好了，这越发证明，刚才的举报电话真实可信了。快，先提审'乔亮'，然后去南平。” 审讯室内，气氛严峻。 “乔亮”被带进来，看到的是几双洞察一切的严厉目光，顿时觉得胸口像揣着兔子一样，突突地跳起来。 秦志剑突然地：“梁军！” “乔亮”：“啊……” “乔亮”张口结舌，看着几个天神般的人，汗珠儿“刷”地从脸上落下来。 往后的审讯就容易了，“乔亮”见隐瞒不住，一五一十地都交代了，他正是梁军，家住南平，奉“大哥”之命来山阳找马强，又奉马强之命，去沙场制造事端。 那么，马强在哪儿？ 想想吧，“乔亮”……不，梁军来自南平，受马强驱使，这说明，山阳和南平是有一条黑线连着的，而现在又有人举报马强藏在南平…… 秦志剑：“李局，马强十有八九藏在南平，咱们要马上行动。” 李斌良稍加思索，立刻做出决断：“这样吧，咱们分成两个组，一组去南平了解有关情况，抓捕马强，另一组留在山阳，搜索新的线索，包括查实在郑书记家案件发生前后马强的活动情况，还要寻找撞袁志发的车辆，观察他的伤情，确保他的安全，还有，查一下跟我通话的这部神州行，看它还跟谁通过话。” 秦志剑：“对，就这样，我和邱局一组，去南平……不，我们俩留在山阳，还是你们去南平吧，您是副局长，专案组副组长，去了人家会把您当盘菜，事情好办一点！” This…… 依李斌良的本意，他原准备带秦志剑一起去南平，因为，在这种情况下，他和苗雨在一起难免别别扭扭的。可是，秦志剑却先冒了炮，他要是再说别的，好像自己有什么事似的。因此扭头看着苗雨：“苗雨，你看，这样行吗？” 苗雨迎着李斌良的目光：“有什么不行的？” 李斌良：“那好，你先去准备一下，咱们一会儿就出发！” 苗雨看了李斌良一眼，走出办公室，邱晓明凑近李斌良，低声地：“李局……” 李斌良明白，他是对苗雨不放心，害怕跑风漏气出了事，他没让他说下去，而是摇摇头：“你赶快把马强的有关资料找到，特别是他近期的照片，然后用传真发给南平市公安局刑警大队，请他们协助我们先行寻找！” 邱晓明：“好。” 邱晓明走出去不一会儿，苗雨换了另外一身便衣走进来：“李局长，咱们走吧！” 李斌良看了她一眼，觉得她的脸还是有些苍白。但是，他没有说出来，而是说：“走吧，现在出发，傍晚就能到南平！” 李斌良就这样带着期望和谜团上路了，他有一种强烈的感觉，马强就在南平，但是，对自己能否找到他，此行会有什么样的结果，却难以断定。
