Chapter 27 Chapter Twenty Six

The case was shelved. They went to Qingyuan, Jiangchuan, and Jinling, but they found nothing. All the clues available in this city have also been checked. Wu Jun's wife came back after taking care of her husband's funeral, but she didn't provide anything useful.Regarding her relationship with the deputy director of the hemp spinning factory, it was exactly in line with what the deputy director said.It is said that they broke off their relationship later, because after the wife of the deputy factory director found out what happened to them, she called her family to beat the deputy factory director with a black nose and swollen face, and threatened Wu Jun's wife.

Large-scale censuses did not yield any results.After so many days, even one-third of the city's population has not been checked. Even if it is done, I don't know how accurate it is, and whether there are any omissions.No one can say when it will be finished. Li Binliang still didn't give up, and went to Lin Ping'an's wife to find out more about Lin Ping'an's social relations, but found that she and her daughter were both missing.Later, Lin Ping'an's brother, who was toothless and lame, came to the Criminal Police Brigade to inquire about the progress of his younger brother's murder case.It was only from his mouth that Lin Ping'an's wife disappeared after handing over her daughter to her parents-in-law.

Hu Xuezheng also recovered from his injury and was discharged from the hospital, and he couldn't provide anything more. Everything went back to the starting point, and Li Binliang's thoughts returned to Mao Canghai's case.These three cases, no, counting Wu Jun's murder should be four cases, all of which were committed by the same person. There is no doubt that the other three cases can't be investigated, so we can only start over from Mao Canghai. In this case, Tie Kun is a major suspect. But, Zha Tiekun, is it easier said than done? Li Binliang fell into depression.

On this day, someone in the team said that the old captain's condition worsened, so he decided to go and have a look. Wu Zhishen hurriedly said to go together. The old captain moved to a new ward, and the conditions are not bad. There are only two beds in the room, and the hygienic conditions are also good, quite clean.Beside the hospital bed, only his wife was taking care of him. From the looks of it, the old captain was not as thin as he imagined, but his face was yellow, dull and lacking in energy.Seeing Li Binliang and Wu Zhishen, he looked very happy, sat up quickly, and asked his wife to peel fruit and pour water.

Before coming here, Li Binliang already knew that the old captain's disease was liver ascites, which was already difficult to cure, and he would faint at some point, so it was hopeless.Because of his bad mood, seeing the sick old captain made his mood even more gloomy.Although he and the old captain didn't get along for a long time, their relationship was quite good and they had established a certain relationship.Although the old captain is old, he is very easy-going and democratic. He also supports Li Binliang's work, including the young brothers in the team. He never criticizes or scolds the young brothers like Deputy Director Qin.Of course, there are also shortcomings, that is, he is always submissive in front of Deputy Director Qin, and Deputy Director Qin never speaks back to what he says.It is for this reason that some people secretly call him "Miangua".But Li Binliang felt that the old captain was a good person.

Looking at the current appearance of the old captain, Li Binliang's mood is very complicated: people really have nowhere to look. When I first arrived in the criminal police brigade, the old captain was fighting side by side with him from dawn to dusk, but it was only a few months... They were all criminal policemen, chatted about their illnesses politely, and the topic unknowingly shifted to the case, where they chatted about several serial murders.Li Binliang didn't want the old captain to worry about it, but he couldn't help it: "Old captain, you are an old criminal policeman with rich experience. Have you encountered such a case for so many years? Can you help us figure it out? Now, we can It’s a bit of a dead end!”

After hearing this, the old captain looked very ugly for a while, looked at Li Binliang, then at Wu Zhishen, and after a while, he said with some guilt: "This... Binliang, I'm really sorry for you. Don’t think about it anymore, my brain is not as good as it used to be, I really can’t help you!” It was Li Binliang's turn to feel guilty.He didn't want the old captain to worry at first, and what he said just now came out of his mouth in a hurry.Seeing the old captain's guilty look, he hurriedly explained: "Don't, old captain, take care of your illness. I didn't want you to worry about it. I just said it out of my anxiety!"

The old captain: "No, no, I am indeed responsible. This... anyway, I am still carrying the name of the captain of the criminal police, but I am really ashamed to let you carry this burden alone. How about it? , I’ve been thinking about it when I’m free, if I really want to figure it out, I’ll tell you!” After sitting for a while, Li Binliang and Wu Zhishen bid farewell to the old captain.The old captain struggled to get out of bed and was stopped by them.When parting, the old captain grabbed Li Binliang's hand and said, "Binliang, I understand you. Criminal policemen are like this. If they can't solve the case, they are anxious to get angry. But what's the use of this? You can ask the old criminal policeman, Who hasn't suppressed a few cases? Not to mention others, I have suppressed many cases. Speaking of which, it's all our debt. But don't worry about getting angry, I've also suppressed some cases, not you If you want to break it, you can break it, sometimes you have to touch it, maybe it will be solved by chance at any time, really, some big cases were not solved after a lot of effort, but after a few years, other cases suddenly passed Brought it out. Don't worry, I will help you to think about it carefully, and I will tell you after I have figured it out... By the way, Binliang, you should visit me often when you are free... Yes, and Zhishen, for the team Brothers take care, say I miss them..."

The old captain's voice trembled, tears flowed out, and Li Binliang felt very uncomfortable.He knew that it would be difficult for the old captain to get out of the hospital again, and what awaited him would be death. He may have realized this, and at this time, he must miss the brothers in the team very much. It seems that we should visit him often in the future, and let the brothers visit him often.Li Binliang thought to himself as he walked outside. After walking out of the ward, Li Binliang found that Wu Zhishen was depressed all the time, and asked him what was going on.Wu Zhi sighed deeply, and after being bored for a long time, he said, "He and I are...brothers for more than ten years..."

Li Binliang felt pain in his heart. Walk forward for a while along the corridor of the medical ward. When you reach the stairs, it is time to turn down. You can see the sign of the surgical ward in front of you. Li Binliang's heart suddenly moved. Go to the door of the ward where I and Hu Xuezheng once lived. Now, there were no patients in the ward, and the door was locked tightly. Li Binliang stood outside the door without moving, and the deep suspicion in his heart resurfaced. Wu Zhishen also stood still, with a serious expression on his face.The two tacitly thought of going together.

The two gradually looked at each other.Wu Zhishen spoke first: "I think, now we have to work on him!" Yes.Now, the situation is exhausted, if the original guess is still reserved, then it should be taken seriously now. But what should we do?Is it possible to openly investigate one's own assistant?If you really want to do this, you need the approval of the bureau leader, and you have to report to Deputy Director Qin first, but their relationship... Besides, there is no evidence, if something is wrong, who can bear the responsibility?If it gets out, how will it end? Don't make a fuss, pay attention to observe.For the time being, I can only keep this doubt in my heart. However, after Hu Xuezheng went to work, Li Binliang didn't find anything abnormal, but he felt that he was more enthusiastic than before he was hospitalized, and his attitude towards himself seemed to have improved, and he often took the initiative to say hello and discuss work.It's just that he is still so indifferent to Wu Zhishen. Wu Zhishen noticed it, and quietly said to Li Binliang: "Did you see it? It seems that your attitude towards you has changed. It's strange, so be careful!" Yes, Hu Xuezheng's change not only did not shorten the distance between Li Binliang and him, but instead caused him to be more vigilant. For now, however, only observation is possible.
