criminal mentality

Chapter 277
From the night when Deng Xi and Wen Mo reached a consensus, it rained heavily in City V for three consecutive days. Such weather made people have no desire to go out. There were only a few pedestrians walking in a hurry on the bustling street. Deng Xi and Wen Mo Sitting in the car, he stared motionlessly at one of the townhouses not far ahead.

This is Lv Chenggong's home, and Sha Lihua is the only one at home now. Even she, a shopaholic, doesn't go out in such a ghostly weather. It's actually very boring to keep an eye on, especially when it's pouring outside, and the two inside When people you don't know well sit together, you can't chat, and you can't do anything except stare.

The reason why they are staring at Sha Lihua now is because of a divorce agreement found by Lu Chenggong's secretary Nan Zhan when sorting out his belongings yesterday. The date of signing the agreement is a week before Lu Chenggong's death. It is obviously not a day or two to plan a divorce. The content of the agreement is very unfavorable to Sha Lihua. If Sha Lihua and Lu successfully divorce, she can almost be regarded as leaving the house.

According to Wenmo's shallow understanding of Sha Lihua, this woman will never sign a divorce, regardless of other things, if she really wants to get divorced, how can she continue to live a life of living without worrying about food and clothing, shopping and shopping without asking prices?So from the current point of view, Sha Lihua is the person who has the most motivation to want Lu Chenggong to die on the surface. As for the ones in the dark, they hide it very well and deeply.

"Well, Police Officer Wen, you said last time that there might be an insider in the Public Security Bureau. After I got home and thought about it, I think there is something you need to know."

"I knew that you would come to City V at the beginning, and it was the result of Mayor Lu's invitation. Since you came to the Public Security Bureau of City V, my immediate boss, Deputy Director Chen Lilian, ordered me to keep an eye on you all the time. All localities must be reported in a timely manner. I didn't think much about it at the beginning. Director Chen is always cautious. It is understandable for him to order so, but later when we were really waiting for us to go to the mountains to find someone, Director Chen ordered me not to He took you there and asked him why, but he didn't say clearly that in the end you were able to enter the mountain because Mayor Lu was eager to love his son and suppressed him."

"What's the background of Director Chen? Do you know him well?"

"He is 51 years old this year. He is the deputy director of our bureau in charge of criminal investigation. He was just promoted three years ago. He used to be the captain of the criminal police brigade of our bureau. He has been in this position for more than ten years, right? I just He was one of his subordinates when he entered the police station, and he is very good at solving crimes and has strong abilities."

"With such a working ability, why did you become a deputy director in your 50s?"

"Oh, he made mistakes." Deng Xi felt that the car was really stuffy. He opened a window to let fresh air rush into the car along with the rain, suppressing the restlessness in his heart, and then continued: "He I was once filed for investigation because of torture to extract a confession to death. At that time, I didn't know which corner I was playing with mud in. I heard this from a retired old colleague. It seems to be ten years ago , There were too many robbery and wounding cases in city V. Because the cases could not be solved for a long time, it aroused dissatisfaction among the people. The chief of the public security department demanded to solve the cases within a time limit, and all members of their criminal police team issued military orders. The pressure can be imagined. They were After doing a lot of meticulous work, a criminal suspect, Dong Mou, was finally identified. This person had a robbery record and had been dealt with in a labor camp. When the first car robbery case happened, he had just been released shortly after serving his sentence, so he was naturally regarded as the first suspect by the police. suspects.

After a day and a night of continuous interrogation, Dong refused to admit that he was involved in the robbery. At that time, police interrogation methods were simple and rough, beating and scolding prisoners was common, and it almost became an unspoken unspoken rule. Close your eyes and let things go.However, Dong died the afternoon after being interrogated and detained in the detention room.

The result of the forensic examination was that Dong died of internal organ hemorrhage and shock, and his chest and abdomen were covered with bruises, and it was obvious at a glance that he was beaten.

That year, just as the Ministry of Public Security implemented the five prohibitions, the three people involved in the interrogation were arrested and dealt with severely. Among the three of them, one was sentenced to 5 years in prison and the other was fired. What happened to Director Chen? It's still the best, since he was punished with a major administrative demerit, his future is almost ruined. It's not because he's getting old and going to retire now that he can become the deputy director. look good. "

"But even for the sake of looking good after retirement, shouldn't he be in charge of criminal investigation work? This position can be regarded as the second in command of the Public Security Bureau."

"Gossip, there is someone above him. I don't know what kind of luck he got. He got in touch with a big man in the city. That's why he got such a good position before retiring."

Big shot in town?Wen Mo pondered for a moment, Lu Chenggong is already the mayor of a city, but the person who murdered him did not ambiguously do it, which shows that the people behind the scenes must be quite powerful.

In this way, the two phases corroborate, but it is also right.

"It's still the same sentence. Before we find evidence, all of this is our speculation. It doesn't count. We must not act rashly. Before we are sure enough, we can only investigate secretly."

The heavy rain that had been falling for several days finally stopped, and the next day it was bright, Wen Mo was woken up by the phone in the car.

After Deng Xi answered the phone, the expression on his face was inexplicable: "Due to the continuous heavy rain in Yunshui Mountain in the past few days, landslides and mudslides occurred. Fortunately, no one lived near the location of the landslide and no casualties were caused. The seven corpses were discovered by the people who went to Yunshui Mountain to sketch this morning and called the police." Deng Xi paused for a moment: "Although the seven corpses showed signs of decay to varying degrees due to the long time of death, But the caller said one of the bodies was wearing a police uniform..."

"Do you suspect that this corpse is Ma Nianyuan?"

"That's right, so I must go and have a look. Will you go with me?"

"of course."

At the foot of Yunshui Mountain, the end of the road has been tightly blocked by police cars at this time, and a large number of policemen are going back and forth around the scene to collect evidence.

On the ground, seven white cloths were spread across the ground, and the silhouette of a human could be faintly seen from the outside.

Deng Xi hurried forward and whispered a few words to a colleague he knew. The colleague took him to a white cloth and patted Deng Xi on the shoulder: "Captain Deng, we have already cleaned the face of the corpse, we are sure it is Ma Nianyuan , your condolences."

Deng Xi was a little dazed, squatting in front of the white cloth for a long time and didn't have the courage to lift it up.

Wen Mo fell behind, not wanting to bother him.It is one thing to go missing, but another thing to really see the dead body of a real person. She thought that before Ma Nianyuan's body was found, Deng Xi probably still had a little bit of innocence in his heart. I hope that Ma Nianyuan is just missing, but living quietly somewhere.

Deng Xi was silent for a long time, and finally lifted the white cloth with trembling hands. He had to confirm it himself before he believed it.

The human face under the sheet was unexpectedly lifelike, without decay, except for the blue color, it was not much different from when it was alive, and the eyes were closed tightly, never to be opened again.

Wen Mo stood quietly behind Deng Xi, looking at Ma Nianyuan's body.The corpse's head was twisted at a strange angle, and Wen Mo could tell without a forensic examination that Ma Nianyuan was killed by someone directly twisting his neck.

The other six corpses were also identified one by one, and it was finally confirmed that they belonged to Master Fang and his party. Among them, Lu Minghao was not found.

The body was washed down along with the mudslide, but the source could not be found at the scene. The mountain had just landslide, and going up the mountain is too dangerous now, and the police found very limited evidence at the foot of the mountain.

Until the afternoon of the third day, shortly after the forensic report of the seven deceased was released, the case was closed: accidental death.

Deng Xi had just comforted Ma Nianyuan's relatives who were crying so much that they almost fainted, when he knew that the case was closed as an accident.At that moment, Deng Xi, who lost his mind, rushed directly into Chen Lilian's office.

"Chen Bureau, among the seven deceased and one of our own people, we didn't even investigate and closed the case based on a forensic report. Isn't that too irresponsible?"

Chen Lilian was on the phone, but he didn't expect Deng Xi, a stunned young man, to barge in without even knocking on the door. His face sank, "What are you talking about? Deng Xi, who gave you the courage to rush into the leader's office?"

"If the law is not fair, someone will shovel it, and if the matter is not fair, someone will take care of it. What's the matter? The leader is amazing? Why don't people talk about it? Tell you, I have the final say on this case, and it can't be closed!"

"You, you are disorganized and undisciplined! This is the forensic report, let's talk after reading it! Get lost!"

In the seven forensic reports, the column of cause of death was highly consistent: death due to lack of oxygen to the brain.The wounds on the bodies of the seven deceased were all post-mortem injuries!And on the column of the time of death, it was written two days ago!
two days ago?Ma Nianyuan has been missing for more than five days, Fang and his party have been missing for even longer, more than a week.Where were they between their disappearance and their death?How did Ma Nianyuan get mixed up with everyone like Fang?Where on earth were their bodies washed out from?

Deng Xi's eyes were tearing apart. Ma Nianyuan must have been kidnapped when he disappeared. Even if his death was an accident, the people who illegally detained them these days absolutely existed. He would never agree to close the case as simply an accident!From this moment on, he completely believed Wen Mo's words, the water in V City is very deep!

And not long after Deng Xi left Chen Lilian's office, Wen Mo was called in.

Chen Lilian smiled enthusiastically: "Officer Wen, we have wronged you in this small place. Hey, Fang and his party have also found it. Are you busy with work? We won't delay you, pack up and go back to City B." , I’ve already asked someone to help you buy a ticket.”
