Chapter 46 Chapter Forty-Five

Not long after Fayi Chen left, Zhang Yiang came to the office with a box of fast food in his hand: "The third team has arranged for the hotel, and they went to eat first. They said you haven't eaten yet, so I'll bring you some." Gao Dong took the fast food, just opened it, then shook his head and closed it again, unable to whet his appetite at all, he just told: "When they finish eating later, call the office for a meeting." "Which area are the people from the third team in charge of?" Gao Dong pursed his lips and said reluctantly, "Tracking and protecting."

"Protect?" "There have been three murders, no matter what, there must be no fourth." Gao Dong smiled wryly, "If there is a fourth, you probably won't have to follow me in the future." Zhang Yiang showed embarrassment: "This...how can this be done?" "Now the case has been reported to the Ministry, and there is a lot of trouble. I have no choice but to rush back to Ning County today. Otherwise, the affairs in the city will take several weeks to deal with. I don't have such free time. Take advantage of the superiors' attention in these few weeks. They were all concentrated on the mass demonstrations, and we have to solve the case as soon as possible, otherwise, hehe..." He sneered and didn't continue.

Zhang Yiang also naturally knew the seriousness of the situation. In just one month, all the top leaders of the public security department were killed. This kind of case has probably never happened since the founding of the People's Republic of China. official career.Of course, for these old people who have been with Gao Dong for many years, their status as bosses will not be guaranteed, and they will not even think about being promoted in the next few years. "But there are so many leaders in the county, and we have limited manpower, who should we protect?" Gao Dong said helplessly: "Let's take care of them in a targeted manner, mainly for key departments. It is impossible for us to arrange personal bodyguards for each of them. We can only strengthen day and night patrols throughout the county on the one hand. We have to directly inform the government staff of all the units in the county to pay attention to personal safety, and it is inevitable that there will be a big commotion. The most important thing is that we have to race against the murderer and catch them as soon as possible. Of course, the media must pay more attention. I would like to take care of you, the top has already issued a gag order, and the general media will not report it, only a few in Guangdong. Anyway, it doesn’t matter which one, as long as you dare to come over, if you want to interview or report, you will directly arrest people. How do you want to deal with it? You don’t need to report to me this time.”

Zhang Yiang nodded in embarrassment.In the past, when sensitive cases were interviewed by the media, Gao Dong just greeted his superiors and asked them to keep the case secret during the investigation period, but he had never seen Gao Dong directly ask them to arrest people, which shows how far this case has pushed Gao Dong. "By the way, in the past few days after Shao Xiaobing's death, have there been any rumors within the county government or among the people?" Zhang Yiang said: "According to your request this time, everyone is very tight-lipped. Jiang Wei has taken care of the county's public security system personnel. Whoever reveals half a word to outsiders will be dealt with as a violation of discipline. People who know the specific situation are not yet. Many, because the autopsy in the public prosecutor’s legal system confirmed that it was a suicide, and Shao Ju sent your text message before he died, so everyone generally believes that Shao Ju was the murderer of Wang Baoguo and committed suicide in fear of crime.”

"Is there no suspicion?" "Yes, there is, but everyone in the public security system knows that the footprints at the scene are only Shaoju's. It can only be suicide, and it makes sense to commit suicide in fear of crime. Everyone is still waiting for the final investigation results." Gao Dong thought for a while, and said, "That's fine. If everyone thinks it was a suicide, and in the end it is really a last resort, we can only close the case with Shao Xiaobing killing Wang Baoguo and then committing suicide in fear of crime. Hu Haiping is an accident."

Zhang Yiang smiled: "I think this result is the best." This result is of course good, both cases are closed, the Wang Baoguo case has a murderer, and the murderer has committed suicide; the Hu Haiping case has become an accident.Although three top leaders died in a month, two people died in one case, one was the murderer and the other was the victim, and the other was an accident.Reporting to the provincial department or even the ministry can only be called a coincidence.Why such a coincidence?The world is so big, there are always coincidences, and Gao Dong met his fate because of his fate.Gao Dong also hopes to find out that it is true that Shao Xiaobing killed Wang Baoguo and then committed suicide in fear of crime. In the case of Hu Haiping, he knew that the murderer was someone else, but as long as this guy does not continue to commit crimes, the case can be closed as an accident.

But the biggest risk is what if the murderer doesn't stop? Gao Dong glanced at Zhang Yiang, and sneered: "Don't think about it now, the most important thing is to find out the case as soon as possible. If another case arises, it will never be resolved." Zhang Yiang frowned and said, "But the investigation of Shao Xiaobing's case can't go on now, all the clues show that he committed suicide, what should we investigate?" Gao Dong stood up, gave him a cigarette, and said in relief: "Don't worry, no matter how well-planned the murderer is in any case, there will always be a breakthrough. I've been busy in the city these days, and I can't understand many things in depth. Tell me in detail about the whole process after you received the police on Sunday."

"Sunday morning at 8 o'clock, 110 received a call from a fisherman, saying that a male body was found on the beach. The police station and the criminal investigation team of the county bureau went there together. Only when they got there did they know that it was Director Shao, so they quickly informed Lao Chen and the others. They came here. At about nine o’clock, Lao Chen and his colleagues rushed to the scene. The scene was well preserved at that time, and no one had walked up the hillside above the corpse. Lao Chen and his group were the first to go up to investigate. Before three or four o'clock in the afternoon, Shao Ju's body will be flooded—"

Gao Dong interrupted him: "You mean the tide is going to rise?" Zhang Yiang said: "That's what the fisherman said." Gao Dong thought for a while and asked, "Is that rocky beach usually above or below sea level?" "When I went there, the water had already started to submerge the upper stone beach, and it hadn't even covered the body, but I heard that it would be completely submerged after high tide." Gao Dong returned to his chair, turned on the computer, looked it up, looked up and said, "Yes, Sunday is the seventh day of the lunar new year, so it's time for high tide."

"Boss, is the high tide related to the day?" Gao Dong nodded: "You are not from our place, you don't understand. The sea tide rises and falls once a day, usually at three or four o'clock in the afternoon, the tide rises the highest, then slowly recedes, and the sea level is the lowest at three or four o'clock in the morning. After that, the tide will rise again. There are also two small tides every month. Generally, there are neap tides around the 6th and 21st, and the sea level is the lowest. On the 14th and the end of the month, there is a spring tide, and the sea level is the highest. You know the Qiantang River Tide Observation Festival, every August The tide is the highest on the fifteenth and sixteenth, and the tide at the mouth of the Qiantang River is the largest on the fourteenth day, and after a day or two the seawater rises to Haining and Hangzhou.”

Zhang Yiang nodded repeatedly, and said: "Fortunately, it was a neap tide when Shao Ju died. If it was a high tide, he would probably have been washed away by the sea water. I don't know when the body will be found." "By the way, have the fishermen investigated?" "I made a record and got to know the situation of the other party. The other party drove a small sampan early in the morning to collect snails on some nearby islands. When I passed by there, I saw that he was just an ordinary fisherman. There is no suspicion.” Gao Dong nodded. Now that Shao Xiaobing had a general understanding of the situation at the scene, he was waiting for the final result from Chen Fayi.He asked again: "Where did you find Shao Xiaobing's car?" "On a rural village road about one kilometer away from the beach, there are not many people in this village, and the houses are scattered. After we visited nearby, no one knew when the car came here." "Is there surveillance around the village?" "No. Boss, but one thing is very strange. There is sand in the tires of the car, and there are wheel marks on the beach. The wheel marks match the tires of Bureau Shao's car, indicating that this car has been driven to the beach before." "The car has ever driven to the beach?" Gao Dong clenched his fist against his chin, puzzled, "If Shao Xiaobing really committed suicide in fear of crime, the car first went to the beach, and then drove a kilometer away, and then he walked back to the beach. Beach suicide? Why do it?" Zhang Yiang shook his head to express that he did not know. Gao Dong continued: "So if he really committed suicide, it shouldn't be so troublesome." "what do you mean……" "It must have been a homicide, and the driver was the murderer! The murderer let Shao Xiaobing commit suicide on the beach, and then drove to a village one kilometer away. There was no surveillance in the village, so we couldn't find out where the murderer would end up." "But Lao Chen said that the steering wheel of the car is only fingerprinted by Shao Ju, and there is no other person." Gao Dong didn't take it seriously: "It's fine to wear gloves to commit a crime." "If the murderer wants to escape, why bother to leave such a big doubt in the car, just leave." "Maybe he wants to leave the scene quickly." Gao Dong couldn't answer this question right now, so he could only assume it. "If that's the case, is it possible that the murderer lives in this village?" Gao Dong said: "There is a possibility, but it is very small. The murderer drove the car to his door. Could it be that he is waiting for the police to investigate?" Zhang Yiang was speechless, and the direct evidence was clear that Shao Xiaobing committed suicide.But what Gao Dong said is also very reasonable. Why do you have to drive to the beach first, then leave one kilometer away, and then walk back to the beach to commit suicide?This suicide is too tiring. Gao Dong asked again: "What time did Shao Xiaobing's car leave the community? Did the car go to other places on the way to the beach? The continuous surveillance on the road should be able to capture these details, right?" "It has been done as you ordered. In the past two days, I have obtained videos from various monitoring and ownership units, as well as monitoring at some gas stations and hotel entrances. More than a dozen people are doing this, and there will be results in about a day or two." "In the surveillance screen, is Shao Xiaobing driving the car himself?" "I can't confirm yet, because it is night, the road light is not very good, and the headlights of the car are on, it is very bright, and the sun visor in the car is also down, so you can't see the face, but judging from the clothes, it should be Shao Ju what he wore when he died." Gao Dong's eyes lit up: "Is the sun visor down in the car?" "um, yes." "What are you doing with your sun visors down at night!" "Maybe it was put on during the day, but I forgot to put it away at night." Apparently Zhang Yiang has no doubts about this, because it is normal to put down the sun visor during the day and not close it at night, and the sun visor will not affect the driver's sight. Gao Dong let out a breath, and he could tell that even Zhang Yiang still didn't believe that Shao Xiaobing committed suicide, and Chen Forensic Doctor was also skeptical. It is estimated that other people also thought that Shao Xiaobing committed suicide. The evidence of suicide is complete, and there are only a few doubts. For example, why did the suicide walk up and down the cliff several times, and drove the car to the beach first, then left, and then walked back to the beach to commit suicide.But these evidences are only doubtful points and cannot overturn the conclusion of suicide. Gao Dong thought for a while. It seems that if he wants to make a breakthrough in the investigation now, he must first find evidence of homicide and rule out the possibility of suicide. Gao Dong pursed his lips and could only continue to ask, "Have you found Shao Xiaobing's wife?" "No, I don't have any clues until now. I only know that Shao Ju's wife entered the community on Sunday afternoon and returned home. Later, the surveillance did not see her leave the community. Anyway, she disappeared." "Have you checked Shao Xiaobing's house?" "Old Chen said that after checking, we didn't find anything wrong. We found a safe in the secret cabinet of Shao Ju's home, but the safe was closed, and it was inconvenient for us to open it. We had to wait for Shao Ju's son to return to China. Is there something wrong with the house?" "When will his son come back?" "I'll go home this week to take care of my funeral." Gao Dong nodded: "His son also wants to protect it. By the way, have you conducted a search around the one-kilometer section from the beach to the car?" "Yes, we want to find his wife. Jiang Wei mobilized more than 300 people to look for her. They have searched all over the place, searched within a few kilometers, and sent police dogs, but they couldn't find it." "Then did you find any other clues on this section of the road, such as what was abandoned?" "That part of the road is full of wasteland and tidal flats, and I didn't see anything of value for reconnaissance." Gao Dong was very helpless, sent Zhang Yiang to leave, and sat on the sofa alone in silence. It seemed that the case was getting bigger and bigger. Up to now, all the links were very vague, and the key breakthrough point could not be found at all.Shao Xiaobing's wife disappeared with him, and it was probably more ominous than good, but hundreds of people brought police dogs to find someone, and there was no clue at all, which was even more weird. It's impossible to go on like this. An investigation without a direction will not have a good result. Until now, the only thing Gao Dong firmly believed in was that Shao Xiaobing did not commit suicide, but murder. But the case clearly has several inexplicable problems. First of all, what happened at Shao Xiaobing's house that day? Secondly, there is only one person's footprints on the edge of the cliff. How did the murderer make Shao Xiaobing "suicide"? Third, where will Shao Xiaobing's wife be?Surveillance showed that she had gone home, but she was never seen coming out again.It may be dead, but the house is so clean, it is obviously impossible to dismember the body. The place where the car passed along the road was searched by a large number of police forces, even police dogs. If it is a body, how could it not be found? Just go to the beach tomorrow morning and see for yourself.
