Chapter 120: Surrender? Surrender again!

Liu Bo is dead.

In Zhang Wei's eyes, this honest man, who was hardworking and never complained even when the training was tough, gritted his teeth, died.

The other party modified a nail gun for use on construction sites, which has amazing lethality. As long as you aim at the vulnerable parts of the body, it is not a problem to kill with one bullet.

"In the beginning, he was sent to me because he broke the regiment's record for gun assembly and target shooting."

October 31st, 12:30 noon.

With the appearance of a voice, the silent atmosphere was gradually broken.

"The purpose of his training is the same as that of others, he wants to become an official and get promoted."

In Zhaozhou City, in a funeral home where corpses were temporarily stored, Zhang Wei looked at the things in front of him in silence, and then began to speak.

"But he wanted to get more money after his retirement."

"He didn't have any good food when he was a child. Consultant Xu, you should also understand what life was like thirty or forty years ago."

"There's not much meat all year round, and the only fruits I've eaten in my life are oranges and apples."

"He said apples are delicious and his daughter likes them, so he wants to open up an apple orchard, but actually..."

Zhang Wei paused and shook his head, "There are countless fruits that taste better than apples."

"But he had only eaten apples at that time, and the taste was engraved in his mind. He thought it was the most delicious, so he wanted to save it and give it to his wife and children."

"What a twist of fate."

Zhang Wei was muttering to himself while Xu Hao, Li Jianye and others were listening nearby.

This is a funeral home morgue.

In the early morning, after getting Liu Bo's body, they temporarily stored him here.

Also found was Liu Wen's body.

At the scene of death, Liu Bo buried the other person in his arms and looked at him for a long time, and finally committed suicide. The police tried to separate them but could not do it. Even though the other person was dead, his strength was amazing.

They were not separated until now, lying on two morgue beds, one on the left and one on the right.

On the left is an adult, with a weathered face and full of righteousness.

On the right is a smaller girl, who looks three points similar, skinny, and disappeared at the age of nineteen. So far, the plan has been successful.

The plan to trap Liu Bo was perfect! He fought desperately, faced dozens of black gun muzzles, was hit by three bullets, and finally saw his daughter's body.

To be honest, the plan was full of loopholes. I knew there was an ambush when the other party threw the irritating smoke bomb first.

He also knew that Liu Wen was dead.

But it still came.

This is a sting operation, an operation where the bait is more important than the plan! "I'm going to go out for a smoke."

Li Jianye was silent for a long while. Feeling depressed, he walked out.

"I'll go too." Xu Hao nodded and walked out.

Zhang Wei didn't care and continued muttering.

After leaving the funeral home, the two sat on the steps by the roadside.

"Want one?"

Li Jianye took out a cigarette and looked at Xu Hao.

Xu Hao didn't act pretentiously. He took it and lit it up, feeling the nicotine filling his entire chest, and then exhaled heavily.

The negative emotions also dissipated a little.

"Tsk, how come he died?"

Li Jianye's eyes were blurry and his mood was a little depressed, as if he was drunk.

“I didn’t think he would die.”

"Zhang Wei is a comrade-in-arms, so he will definitely not plan a campaign to wipe them out. The armed police will not use heavy firepower, and the other side is unarmed."

“But why did he die?”

Li Jianye murmured.

Xu Hao glanced at him.

The other party is in a very low mood right now. He has done nothing wrong and there is no reason to argue or morally suppress him.

But I still feel something heavy on my chest.

"Okay, I'm the one who proposed the action. I didn't say anything, but you're still nagging me."

"Wait until the case is over and I prepare for my funeral, and then deduct it from my bonus."

Xu Hao stood up and patted the other person's shoulder to comfort him.

Li Jianye exhaled a breath of foul air, threw the cigarette butt on the ground, extinguished it, and then threw it into the trash can. He paused for a moment and smiled helplessly: "I have been a criminal police officer for nearly 20 years. You, a young man, are trying to comfort me."

"Hey, the young man didn't smoke and mutter."

Xu Hao retorted cheerfully, not caring at all about the other person's blushing face.

Frontline criminal police, if you want to solve cases without suffering from mental illness, there are only two ways.

Either you have a heart of stone, or you have to learn to control your emotions. Li Jianye is the latter, and he can adjust his emotions quickly.

Otherwise, the overwhelming probability is that you will resign and then fall into a state of depression.

Li Jianye wanted to speak back.

However, the moment he looked up, he saw some people, paused for a moment, and then stopped talking.

"I'll go take care of the closing of the case."

Having said that, he fled away.

Xu Hao followed his previous gaze and saw several people in plain clothes.

These people are not young, they are at least 35 years old.

He has a shaved head, a dark complexion, and a resolute look in his eyes.

If nothing unexpected happens, this should be Liu Bo's comrade-in-arms who trained with him or carried out missions with him.

"Gogo"

The few people didn't have any special emotions, just looked a little depressed. After seeing Xu Hao, they asked a few questions.

"Inside."

Xu Hao pointed to the funeral home behind him. Several people were silent, but still walked in.

Seeing this, Xu Hao withdrew his gaze and sighed.

Then, he got into the police car.

The finishing touches of the case were troublesome.

Just from the surface, there are many people involved, such as the school, private school, Cheng Yu's channel for schooling, and Cheng Yang himself.

You know, Shen Miao's information was suppressed by the school on its own initiative! The dean of studies and the principal, who was still in office at the time, were afraid that the matter would be exposed and affect themselves, and Cheng Yang gave them some benefits, so they suppressed it.

A big thing.

It was covered up so calmly.

If the murder hadn’t happened, no one would have known about this!

Teachers? Classmates? Maybe they will remember, but how long can they remember? As the memory fades, "Shen Miao was killed by 80" will gradually become "Shen Miao committed suicide".

Files are changed, information is missing, and with the passage of time, even if the files are false, they will become true! The case is too big, and it is completely unreasonable not to solve this matter.

“Squeak~!”

After returning to the brigade, Xu Huo parked the car, got out and walked into the office.

People in the office are very busy.

It's even busier than when the case is still under investigation! There's no other way. It's very troublesome to investigate any of these things individually, not to mention that the Criminal Investigation Brigade is investigating them.

It’s the criminal investigation brigade of a county-level city!!!

The authority is pitifully low. A quick check shows that the other party's non-cooperation is a huge obstacle.

"Have you found out the channel through which Cheng Yu went to school?"

Xu Hao picked up a water bottle prepared by Chu Xi, filled it with some water from the water dispenser, and after drinking it, he looked at Qian Hua.

Qian Hua stayed here and was in charge of the final work.

“We are still investigating.”

Qian Hua raised his head and shook his head.

“It’s very slow to check.”

"Where are the explosive materials Liu Bo used?"

Xu Hao nodded. This kind of thing could not be found out in a few hours, so he turned to ask other questions.

"That's about right."

Qian Hua said, "The police recovered the weapons used by Liu Bo in the case. After analysis, they were all made of materials commonly used in the market."

"The source of the grenade detonator has not been ascertained, and the nail gun was modified independently."

Grenades are not difficult to make. A can can be converted into a grenade.

The same goes for smoke bombs.

Let me give you an example.

You find some paraffin and buy a 'pancake' used in magic shows, then melt, mash and mix them together, then ignite them with a fuse, and a crude smoke bomb is ready.

A grenade is nothing more than a fuse replaced with a detonator.

As for detonators, they are everywhere these days and it is really difficult to find them, especially after Liu Bo's death, there is no trace of them.

"but."

In a trance, Qian Hua suddenly spoke and looked at Xu Huo hesitantly.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing the other person's conflicted expression, Xu Hao put down the water in the cup.

"But something else happened."

Please...collect 6_9_book_bar (Six//Nine//Book//bar)

Qian Hua thought for a moment and then told the information.

"Someone is coming to turn himself in!"

Someone turned himself in? Someone else turned himself in! ?

Xu Hao raised his eyebrows and his eyes twitched.

"The case went wrong!?"

"No, the person who surrendered herself was on the police's list, but they had never noticed her before. Even after Liu Bo's death, the police didn't suspect her."

Qian Hua shook his head.

"Advisor Xu, please go to the interrogation room. I will summon the person over. You will know once you meet him."

Xu Hao walked to the interrogation room suspiciously.

The other party's emotions did not fluctuate much, which meant that this matter was not a big deal, and it had to be included in the case of self-surrender. Who did the police investigate? A lot, such as Shen Miao's junior high school, high school, and even his death. The same was true for Cheng Yu from a private school.

It’s just that Li Jianye is responsible for all these things. Otherwise, if all these things were put on him, he would not be able to solve the case even if he was given another five days.

If someone were to surrender now, who would it be? Not long after, the door to the interrogation room was slowly pushed open.

Xu Hao knew who this person was.

"Squeak~"

The door opened. The midday sun was slightly dazzling, and it reflected the shadow of a person walking slowly inside.

When he saw the other person, Xu Hao suddenly paused, and then he was slightly stunned.

The man had a hunched figure and walked very slowly. Even with a policeman supporting him, he couldn't walk very fast.

Is this "Grandma Song?"

Looking at the person in front of him, a hint of surprise flashed in Xu Hao's eyes.

The other person was Sun Yang’s grandmother, whose surname was Song and whose name was Song Min.

He is over seventy years old and has cataracts in his eyes, so he can hardly see clearly. The difference between him and a blind person is that he is not completely blind in the medical field.

"I am here to turn myself in."

The old man used his hearing to determine the direction, then looked at Xu Hao and spoke slowly.

Her voice was very muddy, there was a piece of phlegm stuck in her throat, so her words were not very clear, and her pronunciation was even less clear.

"Turn yourself in? You're turning yourself in!?"

Xu Hao frowned.

"It's me. Yes, it's me."

The old man acknowledged it in a vague way.

Is it really her who turned herself in? Xu Huo thought for a moment, picked up his notebook, and asked:

"Do you know the ins and outs of this case?"

"I know. A child died, and the father came to seek revenge."

The old man replied, and she seemed to know a lot about the case.

"You know about Liu Bo and Liu Wen?"

Xu Hao raised his eyebrows.

"I know." The old man couldn't see, but he heard clearly and his answer was correct.

"Then please tell me the whole process of the case."

Xu Huo nodded again, without asking any more questions, and picked up a pen to take notes.

"That was a long time ago."

"I have no relatives. My husband died of cancer, and my child died in an accident. No one has spoken to me since I was 40."

The old woman kept muttering, and her emotions didn't fluctuate much.

The files mentioned are real. The police have investigated them many times and not a single word of them is false.

"As I get older, my eyesight becomes worse and I can't see more and more. Maybe there's nothing I need to see, so I don't need my eyes anymore."

As he was talking, the old man suddenly changed the subject.

"That's right. My husband and children are all gone, and I have no relatives. It's useless for me to have eyes."

Xu Hao did not remind anyone and just kept recording.

After a while, the other party gradually returned to the topic.

"I just sat on the sofa, day after day, year after year, as the leaves fell again and again, and I slowly waited to die."

"Until Xiao Miao moved in."

"She is very cute and looks a lot like my deceased granddaughter. She is lively and cheerful. Whenever her father gets angry with her, she starts crying and knocks on my door. She looks at her father, hugs my legs and hides behind me crying."

"She was only a little older at that time, not even as tall as my crutch."

As he spoke, the old man touched his cane with his hand and a smile appeared on the wrinkles on his face.

Her eyes turned white and she couldn't see anything.

But it seemed like he saw something.

"He was just a little kid, crying and calling me grandma."

"Every time he gets mad at me, he comes looking for me. During the holidays, he runs around my room, forcing me to clean it over and over again."

"Xiao Miao's parents were working overtime and couldn't pick them up from school, so I had to go pick them up again."

"These two people work overtime, overtime, and they don't even have time to take care of their children all day long."

"You have to trouble an old woman like me to stand guard at the school gate in the rain."

The old man started to complain, but he didn't seem to be resentful.

Her mumbling once again deviated from the topic of the interrogation.

Xu Huo didn't interrupt, he just kept recording.

Also listening quietly.

As he spoke, the old man's emotions gradually calmed down.

"But when I saw such a small group of people holding their heads and calling me grandma, rushing under me and crawling under my raincoat, I didn't seem to have any complaints."

After that, she paused and continued, "As people get older, their heads become less clear."

"I am also a bitch, old woman. You have nothing to do with me, not even a blood relation."

“But you really took it seriously.”

"Isn't she cheap or not, young man? I took her seriously when she called me grandma twice. I really raised her as my granddaughter."

The old man had a self-deprecating smile on his face.

Xu Hao wanted to say something.

But when he looked at the other person's white eyes, he held it back.

"After seeing this, my heart that was originally waiting to die has come alive again."

“That’s when I got greedy.”

"In those empty days of mine, I was unwilling to just wait to die, so I sat on the sofa and waited, slowly waiting for the King of Hell to take me away."

"I want to see Xiao Miao grow up, get married, spend the New Year with me and watch the Spring Festival Gala with her children."

"Maybe, I'm just too greedy."

"God can't stand a greedy, dying man like me."

"then."

"An unexpected event occurred."
