Chapter 321 Confusing
Li Yancheng followed Zhang Chuanxiang back to the Third Department and called the department.

He asked Wang Maofei to find a way to contact the director or Deputy Director Su and ask them to come to the Third Department immediately.

The death of Zhao Guangrun will definitely be blamed on one person in the end.

The news Zhang Chuanxiang brought back made the Third Department instantly nervous, and the director and deputy director began to make phone calls non-stop.

In the current situation, the cooperation of the public security and local governments is definitely needed, and the people nearby must be evacuated immediately.

No one can guarantee that the explosives will be dismantled safely.

Calls were made from three locations.

After making the call, Li Yancheng returned to the scene after some hesitation.

When he came over, the deputy director of the Third Department, whose surname was Duan, had already brought a lot of people over and started to evacuate the residents near Zhao Guangrun's home.

By around noon, all residents within a hundred meters of Zhao Guangrun's home had been evacuated.

Even the people from the Public Security Bureau and the Social Affairs Bureau retreated to the entrance of the alley. Only the two experts in charge of dismantling explosives that Director Shen brought with him just now stayed in the small courtyard.

"Yancheng, I saw you looking for the two comrades who were dismantling the explosives just now. What did you say to them?"

After exiting the alley, Lao Xu stopped Li Yancheng and asked curiously.

"I asked them to try not to step on the blood on the ground and to avoid touching the body as much as possible after they went in."

"It's already too late to care about so many things."

"Alas, I just think there is something wrong with the direction Zhao Guangrun looked at before he died. It seems that he left some clues, but it's a pity that I can't see clearly from outside the window."

Seeing Li Yancheng mention the corpse, Lao Xu hesitated for a moment and asked, "What do you think of this matter?"

"I don't know. My intuition tells me that Zhao Guangrun is related to the Sui Donghe case and the four fires, but this cannot be counted. We still need to look at the evidence."

At this time, Su Xiaotong, who had just finished assigning tasks to the investigators and action team members nearby, also came over.

Director Zhong had just made it clear that after the explosives were dismantled, the people from the First Division would go in to investigate the scene first. Just as Li Yancheng expected, the case was handed over to their division.

"This is weird. Counting from the day Sui Donghe died on the roadside on the 15th, today is already the ninth day. We haven't found any useful clues yet, and four people are already dead. Could this be an internal conflict?"

Su Xiaobi was more radical than Li Yancheng. He directly determined that Zhao Guangrun was involved with those three people.

"If it really is an internal conflict, I hope they can go to a deserted place in the suburbs and have a good fight to the death. We will just go there to collect the bodies.

Don't bully innocent people in the city!"

If it wasn't the wrong occasion, Li Yancheng really wanted to hold his stomach and laugh for a while after hearing Su Xiaotong's complaints.

Indeed, judging from the current situation, it really seems like a certain lurker has organized an internal conflict and is killing each other.

"You said the murderer who killed Zhao Guangrun, could it be that the murderer who killed Sui Donghe?"

Facing the question raised by Lao Xu, Li Yancheng shook his head and said, "It's hard to say, the methods used by the two are too different.

The killing of Zhao Guangrun was obviously more violent, and it is also possible that the killing of Sui Donghe was because it happened in the street, so they restrained themselves a little. "

"Yancheng, Xiaotong, let's assume that Zhao Guangrun, Sui Donghe and the other two are on the same line, and the people who killed them are on another line.

For some reason we don’t know yet, maybe Sui Donghe and his friends accidentally ruined someone else’s good deeds, so in order to keep it secret, the people on the other line killed them all.”

"I have a question."

After listening to Lao Xu's guess, the two of them were silent for a while, and then Su Xiaotong frowned and said.

"you say"

"Who introduced whom, Zhao Guangrun or Liang Qiutao, uncle and nephew?

Based on the current situation, Liang Qiutao, Li Zhengxi and Sui Donghe were most likely recruited into the organization while studying abroad.

What about Zhao Guangrun? Was he recruited by Liang Qiutao after he returned from studying abroad? Or has he always been like this?

If it has always been like this, then did Liang Qiutao know about it before going abroad?
Could it be that Zhao Guangrun asked the organization behind him to deliberately bring his nephew in?

After thinking about it, I always feel that there is something strange here."

"Don't put the blame on Zhao Guangrun right away. Maybe he is not that kind of person. It is also possible that this case is just to take revenge on the three departments.

Or maybe they just wanted to sabotage something. With so many explosives, anyone could explode if they pushed the door open..."

Having said this, Lao Xu suddenly stopped and his eyes gradually widened.

Su Xiaotong had the same expression.

They both exclaimed in a low voice at the same time: "Lotus!"

Li Yancheng had not read the case file of the Lotus Case from more than ten years ago. He just heard about it on Saturday afternoon.

Now seeing both of them like this, he understood that there was basically no escape, but he still had some doubts in his heart.

"Director, Director Su, if this case is committed by Lotus as you two said, let's not discuss whether it is the new Lotus or the old Lotus.

I just wonder why there is a lotus logo in Liang Qiutao's hand. Was it left by the arsonist at the crime scene?"

"That's impossible. Even if the murderer left it at the scene, how could Liang Qiutao recognize it?"

Before Li Yancheng finished speaking, Su Xiaotong retorted.

"That is to say, Liang Qiutao must know what the lotus embroidered on the handkerchief represents, right?"

After hearing his rebuttal, Li Yancheng continued.

“You should know!”

"Then the question is, is Liang Qiutao from Lotus?

If so, who is killing the Lotus people? Another sleeper cell with a conflict of interest?

No, how did he know that it was the logo of the Lotus Group, and how did he specifically instruct his wife to hand the handkerchief over to us or to his uncle?
"He Hua must have been extremely cautious to have been able to hide for so many years without being discovered. How could his unique identity be recognized and mastered by a young man who is only 30 years old?"

No one can answer Li Yancheng's questions at the moment, and he doesn't want answers, he just wants to raise questions. When these questions can be answered, the case will be solved.

He continued asking without stopping.

"Directors, there is one more thing we need to note. We speculate that Liang Qiutao and his uncle Zhao Guangrun belong to the same organization.

But if Liang Qiutao belongs to Hehua, then why did Hehua kill Zhao Guangrun?
I have been thinking about this question since Zhao Guangrun’s body was found more than two hours ago.

Personally, I think that in the process of solving the case, we should not lump the uncle and nephew together for the time being.

We can first view this series of cases as independent ones.

Sui Dongha’s death case, fire case, and Zhao Guangrun’s death case.

A week has passed since the Sui Donghe case, and there is still no clue. Let's let him go first and start with Zhao Guangrun. There are murders and explosives here. It's not easy to get so many explosives, and there will definitely be a lot of traces left. Let's pick the weak ones first.

As for the fire case, the higher-ups have asked the police to investigate it, so we'll just wait for their report."

After saying this, Li Yancheng looked up into the alley. What he proposed was just a personal suggestion. Whether it was right or not and whether it should be adopted or not would require a comprehensive analysis by the two directors before a decision could be made.

It has been nearly half an hour since the two experts who were supposed to dismantle the explosives went in, and there has been no movement. The people waiting outside the alley have become a little restless.

Just when Director Zhong was about to send someone in to take a look, a man walked out from the small courtyard of Zhao Guangrun's house. He was one of the two people in charge of bomb disposal.

As soon as he came out, he gave a thumbs up to both ends of the alley.

Seeing this scene, the group of people standing with Director Zhong breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

There were a bunch of leaders, including those from the Social Affairs Bureau, the Public Security Bureau, the district government, the municipal government, the Social Affairs Bureau headquarters, and the deputy director of the Security Committee Office.

These leaders were standing even closer to the front than Li Yancheng and his team.

Maybe they thought that if the explosion really went off, they might as well take them all away, so that at least they could become martyrs.

"Everyone from Section 1, follow the division of labor just arranged, and proceed!"

After seeing the man's gesture, Su Xiaotong raised his arm and waved, then took the lead and walked quickly into the alley.

Li Yancheng did not hesitate and followed closely.

The cramped space in the yard limited the number of people who could enter, so everyone could only come here according to their division of labor to help the bomb disposal personnel move the large pile of explosives out of the yard.

Then the people responsible for taking photos to record the scene and investigating traces will go in.

By the time Li Yancheng entered the small courtyard again, it was already an hour after the bomb disposal was completed.

When the team members responsible for investigating the traces were clearing away the debris between the back wall of the house and the backyard wall, they discovered a two-meter-long piece of soft soil, where something had obviously been dug and buried.

But the distance between the outer wall of this house and the backyard wall is only thirty to forty centimeters, so if anyone wants to pass through, they have to move sideways.

All they could do was have one person stand on each side of the soft land and slowly clean the soil there.

In the room, Li Yancheng finally saw what he had longed to see, what Zhao Guangrun was looking at with his eyes wide open before he died.

Zhao Guangrun looked at his left hand. He still left some clues before he died.

In his dying moments, he used up his last bit of strength and used his left index finger to dip into his own blood and write a word and a half on the ground.

Hey!

The second word that was not finished should be flower, lotus!
He was expressing that the person who killed him was from Lotus.

This is consistent with what Lao Xu and Su Xiaotong inferred about the murderer based on the large amount of explosives in the house when they were outside just now.

Then a new question arises, how does Zhao Guangrun know that it is Hehua’s person?

Could it be that the murderer told him this on his own initiative so that he could die with his eyes closed?

Apart from a stool lying on the floor, there were no signs of a fight in the room, which meant that the murderer had subdued Zhao Guangrun with one strike, leaving him no way to resist.

Although Zhao Guangrun was not tall, only about 1.7 meters, he had been a chef for decades and had a strong physique. The person who could control him with one blow must be either an acquaintance or a particularly powerful murderer.

There were no signs of fighting or blood in the yard. Could it be that Zhao Guangrun did not close the yard door after he came back, and the murderer went straight in and killed him in the room?

Or is it possible that the murderer is indeed an acquaintance who knocked on the courtyard door and followed them in, then suddenly attacked in the room.

If they were acquaintances, did Zhao Guangrun know He Hua's identity before?

And the handkerchief that Liang Qiutao took out before he died. Did he want to say that it was Lotus who set the fire, or that he was Lotus's man?

Li Yancheng felt like his head was about to explode with all these questions.

call……

After exhaling, he turned and walked out of the house and out of the yard.

As soon as we retreated, news came from the yard that a body and a small wooden box were dug out from under the soft soil found at the back.

Soon, the body and the wooden box were carried out.

As expected by Li Yancheng, the body was indeed Zhao Guowu's.

The things found in the box made Zhao Guangrun's identity confusing.

A round-mouth pistol, that is, a Browning M1910, and some bullets.

Judging from the condition of the gun, it must have been maintained regularly, but why would they go to the trouble of burying it in the back?
It is not easy to take it out once it is buried deep down.

Isn't the purpose of keeping this thing for self-defense? How can you protect yourself if you bury it behind?

There were also two large yellow croakers and a jade pendant whose quality was unclear.

Although Zhao Guangrun’s identity cannot be confirmed from these things, it does raise a question mark.

And that corpse was his adopted son. He was definitely not killed by the murderer who killed him. Since he appeared in his house, he was most likely killed by him.

Then why did he kill his adopted son?
With the appearance of Zhao Guowu's body, the case was shrouded in mystery.

Until about four o'clock in the afternoon, this small courtyard was almost turned upside down. When nothing was found, the people from the first department returned to the office with almost all the evidence they could take away.

Although no one had time to eat lunch, no one felt hungry. After returning, they went straight to the conference room of the Intermediate Court and started the first case analysis meeting of Zhao Guangrun's death.

Since June 15th, the death toll related to this case has reached nine.

Among them, five people are known to be definitely related, namely Sui Donghe, Liang Qiutao, Li Zhengxi, Zhao Guowu and Zhao Guangrun.

There were also four civilians who died in the arson. Whether these four people were related to the case or were just affected by it requires further investigation.

In the conference room, Su Xiaotong wrote the names of the dead on the blackboard, and listed all the issues that needed to be clarified urgently.

Finally, he wrote two more words in the corner of the blackboard: Lotus.

Looking at the long list of questions, there was silence in the meeting room.

"Start investigating from the explosives, Mr. Lin..."

"arrive"

Tian Linjun, head of the investigation section, stood up.

"Take your people to the relevant units to check. Don't miss even a penny. The accounts must match the actual situation!"

"Yes"
