Chapter 19 Chapter Eighteen

Although Qingyuan County is not big, it gives people a good impression. The streets are straight and the environment is clean and tidy. Although there are many vehicles, they are in good order.When the car drove into the county seat, it was already off work.After inquiring about the road, they drove directly to the county grain depot. It stands to reason that one should first contact the local public security organ and obtain their assistance.However, this case was unusual, if the news leaked out, the consequences would be unpredictable, coupled with the high speed of soldiers, five against one, and two military commanders, it is still safe to deal with a Wu army.

In order not to startle the scene, the police lights and plates on the car have been changed, and it looks no different from other civilian vehicles.They parked their cars on the side of the road some distance away from the gate of the grain depot and walked towards the gate of the grain depot. At the gate, they were stopped by a guard who was eating: "What are you doing?" Deputy Director Qin said: "We are from a grain depot in another place, so we need your leader to contact us for business!" Guard: "When you're having lunch, why did you ask the leader to come to the grain depot?"

Hu Xuezheng: "Then where can I find it?" Guard: "You man, why are you so stupid, where are you going? Go to a restaurant!" Wu Zhishen stepped forward to get angry, but Deputy Director Qin stopped him: "Excuse me, which hotel are they at?" The guard glanced at Deputy Director Qin: "Seeing that your attitude is okay, let me tell you. After work in the afternoon, the director and the two deputy directors took the guests out in a car. I'm afraid they are drinking happily now!" Deputy Director Qin: "We are in a hurry, can you tell us which hotel we are in?"

Guard: "Penglai Pavilion. Go, you must be there!" Hu Xuezheng: "Why are you so sure?" Guard: "You can go if you are asked. Why do you ask so many questions? I have worked in the grain depot for so many years, but I don't know which one the director loves? Penglai Pavilion is his den. How many years will he not earn hundreds of thousands? !" ... Seeing the big signboard saying "Penglai Pavilion Hotel" in front of it, Li Binliang couldn't help feeling nervous.Looking at the other people, Hu Xuezheng, Shen Jun, and Xiong Dazhong all had serious expressions on their faces, and they must not be at ease.Deputy Director Qin even looked as if he was facing a formidable enemy.The car stopped not far from the restaurant. Before getting out of the car, Deputy Director Qin made arrangements with a stern expression: "We must be highly vigilant and be prepared to deal with various situations... In this way, let's pretend to be customers who eat, Divide into two dials, first see where Wu Jun is, and then make a move!" Then to Shen Bing and Xiong Dazhong: "It will be up to you two then!"

Shen Bing shook his head: "You should pay attention to the seat!" Xiong Dazhong only snorted. Deputy Director Qin led Shen Bing and Xiong Dazhong into the hotel, while Li Binliang and Hu Xuezheng stayed outside.At this time, Li Binliang suddenly thought something was wrong. Deputy Director Qin is an old man in the Public Security Bureau, and there are many people who know him. Since Wu Jun has been in a forced labor camp, he must also know Deputy Director Qin... Well, why didn't he consider this point? He went in... At this moment, it was too late to say hello, he waited outside anxiously, glanced at Hu Xuezheng, saw that the muscles on his cheeks were trembling, he seemed very nervous, even scared.This made him feel a little contempt for him, but thinking about it again, it's no wonder that if Wu Jun is really a cold-blooded killer who kills with a single knife, it is too difficult not to bleed if he really wants to fight...

After a while, Li Binliang and Hu Xuezheng also walked in, and saw that the restaurant was very large, and there were many guests, coming in and out non-stop.Deputy Director Qin was looking at a menu in front of the counter, while Shen Jun and Xiong Dazhong stood on both sides, looking around. Deputy Director Qin saw Li Binliang and Hu Xuezheng walking in, turned his eyes away from the menu, and said to the waitress: "This dish is better, but there are still a few of us who want to eat together. I wonder if they have arrived?" Service lady: "Who is it? How many people are there?"

Deputy Director Qin: "It's the director of our grain depot, maybe four or five people!" "Ah, it's them," said the waitress, "I've been here for a while, and I've drunk it all. It's on the second floor, private room 218!" Several people looked at each other and walked to the stairs on the second floor. Li Binliang felt nervous again as he walked up the stairs.He noticed that it was Deputy Director Qin who was walking in the front. He wanted to overtake, but Deputy Director Qin was determined not to let him go, but Hu Xuezheng who was behind also caught up and also wanted to overtake.

On the second floor, there is a row of elegant rooms.A service lady came up to greet her: "Excuse me, who are you guys looking for? Are you going to have dinner?" Deputy Director Qin nodded: "Let's find Room 218!" Service lady: "Ah, are you looking for Director Fang of the grain depot? It's over there, the fifth door in the past!" Deputy Director Qin turned his head and said, "Hu Xuezheng, you guard the stairs!" But Hu Xuezheng didn't obey the order: "This... Big Bear, you guard the stairs!" After speaking, he followed Deputy Director Qin and ran forward.

Judging by their posture, they were already unable to stop them, so Li Binliang could do nothing but follow closely behind. Room 218 outside. The door is closed, but the sound of eating, drinking and talking and laughing can be heard faintly from inside.Deputy Director Qin, Li Binliang, Hu Xuezheng and Shen Bing rushed to both sides of the door. At this time, a strange thought flashed in Li Binliang's mind: "Can Wu Jun be inside?" Without thinking too much, the four of them looked at each other, nodded to each other, and the door suddenly opened. Deputy Director Qin and Hu Xuezheng rushed in first, followed closely by Li Binliang, all three pistols aimed at the room together: "Don't move!"

Everyone who was eating was stunned.Shen Bing jumped up on the table to grab someone, but he didn't know who to attack. Li Binliang's eyes quickly swept across the faces of several people: "It's broken, there is no Wu Jun." Deputy Director Qin took out the photo and checked it, it was indeed not there.But he didn't relax, and asked in a low and hard voice: "Which one is Director Fang of the grain depot?" An oily face answered in a trembling voice: "I... yes, you... you..." I have heard for a long time that there are many corrupt officials in the head of the grain depot. It seems that this person is also a corrupt official. He must think that he has committed a crime!

Sure enough, when Deputy Director Qin put away his pistol and asked where Wu Jun was, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Look for Wu Jun, he went to the bathroom... Hey, why haven't you come back for a long time?!" Li Binliang's heart raised again: "Where is the bathroom?" "On... on the first floor, what are you doing, why are you looking for him..." No one answered, and the four turned and ran for the stairs. The bathroom is in a corner.Deputy Director Qin was the first to open the door and walk in, followed by Hu Xuezheng. Li Binliang and Shen Bing followed closely behind. Inside the door, there was no one at the urinal. Several people turned their attention to the five squatting positions with the small doors closed. The door to the first crouch was carefully opened, and no one was there. The second door opened, still empty. Speed ​​up.The third, the fourth... The fifth door opened, and a man was sitting in a squatting position.However, the sitting posture is very strange, leaning crookedly on the water basin behind him, his eyes staring at the front in surprise, his mouth is open but he does not speak. Looking at the chest, there is a fresh bloodstain on the left breast that is still infiltrating, and looking carefully, there is a small cut on the bloodstain. Touch the neck and hands, still hot. It was Wu Jun, who was dead.Killed with one blow. Li Binliang couldn't help trembling. Wu Jun was killed, just now. It was the killer who killed, the invisible killer. What does all this mean? This means that he was very aware of the actions of the police, of their trip to Qingyuan, and killed Wu Jun before they arrived; perhaps, it was just a few minutes ago; perhaps, when they walked into the hotel, he had just Leave; perhaps, when they went upstairs, they left; perhaps, the killer passed them by. Li Binliang was shocked by the audacity of the killer, and also shocked by the hidden things behind the murder. How would the killer know what they were doing? "Damn, there is a mole!" Deputy Director Qin gritted his teeth and cursed. In broad daylight, a murder case occurred in a well-known hotel in the city. Is that okay?Not to think too much, Deputy Director Qin immediately ordered a few people to take action. Hu Xuezheng and Daxiong guarded the door of the restaurant, neither entering nor exiting, and ordered Li Binliang and Shen Bing to guard Manager Fang and others in the grain depot, and then dialed 110 Call the police.Soon, the siren blew, and patrolmen, plainclothes criminal police, and technicians in on-site investigation uniforms arrived one after another. nothing. During the on-site investigation, only one fingerprint was extracted, which was the same as in the case of Mao Canghai. It seemed that it was left on purpose.This shows that the killer is confident. It was a pretty good job.The time has passed for the police to interrogate and intercept. After investigating Director Fang of the Grain Depot and several others, it was confirmed that Wu Jun had indeed come to sign the contract, and had been with them since he came, without any suspiciousness.Before he was killed, he was drinking wine with them in the restaurant, and there was nothing unusual about going to the bathroom.Unexpectedly, after going to the bathroom, I went there and never came back. Know the staff of the restaurant, because there are a lot of people eating, and the restaurant waiters are busy taking care of the guests, and no one has noticed anything unusual, and no suspicious person has been noticed. Know the police: there has never been a case of this kind in the local area. The conclusion speaks for itself: the killer is not local. So, where did he come from? Before parting, the director of the Qingyuan County Public Security Bureau said to Deputy Director Qin: "The law and order in our Qingyuan has always been relatively stable, and such a thing has never happened. But this time, this case is considered to be on our shoulders. break!" I was busy from noon to dusk, and I still got nothing, so it was meaningless to stay any longer.After sullenly eating dinner, Deputy Director Qin said, "Let's go, go back!" After getting in the car, Deputy Director Qin leaned back on the passenger seat, and cursed again: "Damn, there's a mole!" Hu Xuezheng sat in the driver's seat, started the car and said to himself: "I went home after the meeting, had a meal, closed my eyes for a while, and didn't even tell my wife where I was going, let alone Outsiders!" As soon as he opened his mouth, Da Xiong hurriedly continued: "I didn't know what I was doing until I got to the bureau, so I don't have time to tell others!" Shen Bing: "You all know that I haven't got a family yet, just like Big Bear, I didn't know what to do with me when I set off, and I haven't had any contact with anyone at all!" Li Binliang didn't say anything.He looked down on Hu Xuezheng's way of hastily clearing himself of suspicion. Deputy Director Qin threw the words over: "Bin Liang, what about you?" "I..." Li Binliang wanted to get angry, but tried to hold back: "I don't think I need to answer!" Deputy Director Qin's unhappy voice: "Why?" Li Binliang: "I am definitely not a traitor, not now, and never will be!" Deputy Director Qin: "No one says you are, the question is whether you have told anyone!" Li Binliang: "I told my mother and wife that I was going on a business trip, but I didn't say where to go!" Deputy Director Qin snorted: "Looks like it would be fine if we leave as soon as we settle down, and no one goes home!" Li Binliang felt a surge of fire from the bottom of his heart again, and just wanted to reply a few words, but Deputy Director Qin pulled the words back: "Actually, I also went home and told my wife that I was going out, but I didn't tell Where is she going!" The breath in Li Binliang's stomach disappeared, but Deputy Director Qin said another sentence: "By the way, other than us, there are others who know about our actions!" Hu Xuezheng said strangely: "Director Qin, you can't doubt Director Cai!" Deputy Director Qin pondered for a moment and replied: "There are other people besides Director Cai!" Hu Xuezheng: "Who else? Ah, I see..." Hu Xuezheng stopped halfway, but Li Binliang understood who he was talking about, Wu Zhishen.A burst of anger suddenly rose in my heart, and I couldn't keep silent anymore, and said loudly, "What do you mean by this? You are all old detectives. Don't you know who is what kind of person after so many years?" Hu Xuezheng didn't say a word, but Deputy Director Qin still muttered: "Hey, you know people and face, but you don't know your heart. People are changing these days!" Hu Xuezheng smiled softly, and echoed: "That's true, people have nowhere to look these days!" Li Binliang said in his heart: "Then what about yourselves?" But after thinking about it, he restrained himself. The return journey was smooth sailing, and the car never broke down again.The next day, just after the morning shift, several people had already returned to the bureau. When the car drove into the urban area, Deputy Director Qin received a call.He said "hmm" twice, then said "yes" and turned off the phone.After the "Mitsubishi" stopped outside the bureau gate, he was the first to jump out of the car and said to the others: "Don't leave, wait for me in the office, and don't tell anyone about it!" Li Binliang saw that Deputy Director Qin was walking towards Director Cai's floor. It seems that Director Cai wants to listen to his report alone, which makes Li Binliang very uncomfortable.At present, I am the main leader of the Criminal Police Brigade, responsible for the investigation of the case, but they... This is a sign of distrust.He has a feeling of being rejected.
