Chapter 465: Accomplice - Xiangming (Part )

Six accomplices in the case
Ninety-eight Rings (Part 1)
It was pitch black inside and out at the Wandushan Club.

The door lock of a small switch room beside the smoothly winding mountain road intersection was smashed to pieces. The maintenance workers who were called in to carry out emergency repairs took great efforts to drag the wild stag, the culprit of the sudden large-scale power outage, away from the switch cabinet that was almost half burned and half torn apart.

Xiao Letian took his police officer ID and jumped into the car in two steps. He raised his hand through the windshield and waved twice at the big brother who was half-leaning in front of the car and waving a red light stick to warn people to stop and persuade them to return. He lowered his eyes and glanced at the live broadcast on Jiang Mo's phone, took a heavy breath, fastened his seat belt and stepped on the accelerator.

"Didn't the club at Wandu Mountain run a private hunting ground in the early years? Later, the operating license expired, and there were accidents every now and then, so the hunting ground seems to have never been open again. After the closure, half of the rabbits and deer raised were sold to the zoo, and the small number that were released have been able to survive stably in the deep mountains and forests in the past two years. It is quite common for wild deer to take a stroll on the road, and there are occasional accidents. It is not uncommon for a car to crash into a street light pole to avoid them... But this is the first time I've seen someone ramming into a distribution cabinet in the middle of the night... This power outage is a big deal. Wandu Mountain and the old-fashioned pump room at the foot of the mountain rely on the transformer box in this small house for power supply. Now that the short circuit has burned, plus the damaged equipment, it will take at least two days to cut off the power for repairs. I heard from the big brother that he was just about to call the police and ask the Forestry Bureau to take the blame, but he didn't expect that our criminal investigation team would come to their door first--"

Xiao Letian held the steering wheel and glanced through the rearview mirror at the fence next to the switch room that was blocked by bushes. He raised his chin and nodded slightly: "It's a mess now and we can't tell the original cause of the accident. I guess a fawn was hit by a passing car and fell into the fence of the switch room. It was blocked by barbed wire, and the stag went crazy..."

"It must be human-made." Jiang Mo stared at the screen with his eyes flashing. While he was slowly turning on the mountain trail, he tapped the stain on the iron roof of the power distribution room, which was hidden in the night. "I don't know how the deer got into the accident, but the male deer crashing into the power distribution room must have been deliberately caused by someone. They threw the seriously injured or dead deer onto the roof of the power distribution room to guide the male deer to crash into it."

Xiao Letian was stunned for a moment. He wiped the steering wheel and stared at the gradually disappearing dark marks on the road. He slowly recalled, blinking his eyes and finally remembered that the bloodstain where the young deer was suspected to have been hit seemed to be on the side of the road going down the mountain. He suddenly widened his eyes and turned to look at Jiang Mo: "...Song Yike is really here?! It turns out that he caused the power outage in order to avoid the security access control system of Wandu Mountain and break in - this place is closed, but it has always been maintained by a boss who wants to sell it. After the power is cut off, he goes in and manually locks the door, and then steals the external IP to broadcast live to delay time..."

"Watch the road, big brother!" Jiang Mo raised his hand to turn Xiao Letian's head back to the right track, turned his head and squinted his eyes, looking far away at the side door of Wandushan Club, which was opposite the small parking lot used for work logistics, where the weeds were half a person's height. He rolled down the car window and leaned over to look at the faint traces of dragging and crushing on the grass for a long time, then suddenly turned around and put his hand on Xiao Letian's shoulder, "Stop the car! Call Lao Gu for help!"

Jiang Mo opened the car door and jumped out without waiting for Xiao Letian to step on the brakes. He rolled on the spot, brushed off the dust on his body, and rushed to the end of the weed platform. He looked down against the mountain wind and shouted, "The fake car is here." He turned around and walked back quickly. He patted the hood of the car in an urgent manner, motioning Xiao Letian to park the front of the car in front of the locked cast iron door on the inside. He typed a line of words in the live broadcast room and put his phone in his pocket. He kicked the wheel and turned over on the roof of the car, then jumped onto the wall of the club where the infrared anti-theft monitoring system was cut off. He raised a strong flashlight to scan around but found nothing. He then picked up the phone hanging on the live broadcast room and looked at the figure in the screen who hesitated for a long time and finally took out his phone, and smashed the phone directly on his phone.

"Song Yike."

"...Officer Jiang."

"That's it. You still have a chance to turn back." Song Yike didn't say anything. His long and heavy breaths fell on the microphone. After a long silence, he smiled very lightly. "After killing so many people, do you still have a chance to turn back?"

The Wandushan Club, which had once been designated as a hunting ground, had a large area of ​​buildings available for search. Jiang Mo walked on the poorly maintained road and instructed Xiao Letian to split into two groups to open the main gate of the club from a distance. He turned around and ran quickly to the side of the main building, barely suppressing his heavy breathing and thinking quickly: "The booklet you mentioned... is on the mountain."

Song Yike said "hmm", paused for a few seconds and asked as a reminder: "Have you found my sister?"

"The urn has been found." Jiang Mo thought for a while, "But it would be better if you open the urn and get the evidence yourself."

Song Yike sighed with a wry smile and asked tentatively, "...Can such a subjective account be useful?"

"As long as there is a criminal fact, we will definitely find an opportunity to bring these people to justice." Jiang Mo stood outside the main building. He put away his phone and glanced at the tilted ceiling above Song Yike's head and the air vent pattern in the back corner that was not completely blocked on the live broadcast screen. He looked up at the dark window in the attic above the roof. "But the premise is that now, except for you, no one can reveal the truth that your sister wants to make public."

Song Yike smiled, "I know you want to delay for fear that I will run away, and you want to persuade me to stop... But Officer Jiang, I have no chance anymore. I have to avenge my sister... I won't run away either. After all, I am not my sister, and I don't have such great ideas as hers. I just want to avenge her, that's all... Now I am only a stone's throw away from achieving my goal, and there is no need for me to make any trouble - but Officer Jiang, I know that you have always had a little concern for me because of the bullying I received from Chen Zuoyi before. In that case, how about I entrust the booklet to you? I have killed every perpetrator, every cold-eyed bystander who fanned the flames... I have killed all the bad guys related to my sister. As for the others, I am willing to believe that 'the net of heaven is vast and nothing can escape'..."

Song Yike stood up slowly, waved his arm at the camera as if to signal, then stepped back and stood in front of the black cloth that was obviously used to conceal the features of the reference object. He pulled it down with all his strength, then picked up an iron pickaxe and held it in his hand, and struggled to pry apart the light-blocking wooden board that was nailed to the wall. Facing the silently flashing red and blue lights, he squinted his eyes and slowly turned his head.

"It all started here, and it's good to end here."

Due to work and health reasons, I will be working on another day~
"When you use it to give up, your actions are hidden in me, so why not sit back and watch them."
