The Spring Festival of 1997 was shrouded in a faint haze due to the passing of Shen Xiaoxing.
Why did the murderer kill Shen Xiaoxing? What was his purpose? No one knows.
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, a worker from a steel factory returned home from his night shift and died at the entrance of an alley 100 meters away from his home. He was killed by someone twisting his neck!
Before the end of the year, two steel plant workers died in succession. Both died in the same way, and no useful clues were left at the scene.
Everyone in the entire steel plant was in danger, fearing that they would be the next victim.
After visiting and investigating, we basically ruled out revenge killing. The social relationships of the two victims were very clean, neither of them had bad habits, no criminal record, and they were also recognized as good people in the factory. They were usually kind to others, and they had never had any quarrels with anyone.
The investigators turned their attention to the steel plant. Could it be that the other party’s target was the steel plant? Did they want to disrupt production, or did they want to get something from the factory?
Who will be the next victim?
In order to find the murderer, the investigators arranged their people in the steel mill, trying to find the spy hiding in the steel mill, but unfortunately, there was no progress in the case until the first month of the year.
In the end, the case fell into the hands of the National Security Bureau again.
The higher-ups suspected that this was a targeted, premeditated murder, most likely a plot by foreign spies in China, in the capital.
But they are now in a passive position. So far, there is no clue at all, no fingerprints, no footprints, no witnesses, nothing, only two bodies.
How do I check this?
Si Lu was also scratching his head, and what made him even more puzzled was that Song Jiaojiao had never stopped harassing him.
This woman's mental state seems to be a bit problematic, she is very paranoid and does not hide her intentions and possessiveness towards Si Lu. But she appears next to him in a weak and passive image, which makes him very distressed.
The original intention was to lure her out and uncover the power behind her, but the mission had not been completed and Si Lu was already on the verge of collapse.
"Uncle, when will we close the net?" Si Lu sat opposite Song Qingzhou and complained bitterly. He was really afraid that one day he would be so annoyed that he would just kill someone.
Song Qingzhou poured Si Lu a cup of tea and asked him with a smile, "What's wrong? Did Yanyan quarrel with you?"
"Not really! Yanyan knows what's important and what's not, and she has always been supportive of my work."
Song Qingzhou also agreed with this point.
"Then what are you worried about?"
He was already annoyed with Song Jiaojiao and didn't want to deal with her even more.
"Then why don't you work harder and catch the big fish sooner?" Song Qingzhou blew gently on the hot tea in the teacup, lowered his head and smelled it. It smelled so good.
Si Lu drank the tea in the cup and put the cup heavily on the table. "That woman is up to something bad."
"Don't you know this a long time ago? Everything is like this. If you don't give her some sweetness and hope, she will think that she can't get rid of you, this stubborn stone. How can she take out useful bait to catch you?"
Song Qingzhou taught him earnestly, "Our line of work is different from your time in the army! You are on the front lines, and it's almost the same if not all done openly. But in the national security, force alone is not enough. We have to seize every opportunity and every possibility to catch those who use every possible means to disguise themselves."
After hearing what Song Qingzhou said, Si Lu's heart gradually calmed down.
"We are no different from the comrades who used to make contacts and gather intelligence. We are all deceitful and testing each other. It's really ..."
Song Qingzhou pointed to his head and slowly uttered two words, "Game."
After hearing these words, Si Lu suddenly calmed down, and the irritability in his heart quickly disappeared.
At the end of the working day, the lights in Lawyer Si's office were still on.
Song Qingzhou walked downstairs, looked up at Si Lu's office, turned around and left.
He pushed his bicycle out, thinking that he should find some time to visit Yanyan and tell his niece what Si Lu was going to do to avoid any misunderstanding.
He believed that Si Lu would not do anything to let Jiang Yan down, but he still had to take precautions to avoid misunderstandings between the couple.
"Director, you're riding your bike home from get off work? Why don't you call a taxi?"
"It's okay, I'm just taking a walk." Song Qingzhou said hello to the guard and rode away on his bike.
Their place is heavily guarded, and is divided into inner and outer guard posts.
The guards at the inner post are like old men guarding the door, while those on duty at the outer post are all soldiers armed with live ammunition.
As Song Qingzhou rode, he thought that his life was becoming more and more promising.
At the beginning of the year, several policies that benefit the people were implemented. After learning about them, the people were very happy. With the economic recovery, their lives are getting better and better.
It's those old rivals who seem to be still harboring evil intentions. They always dress up some bad guys as human beings in an attempt to create chaos and help China rebuild.
snort!
China was poor and backward, but when the situation was turbulent, it was still able to turn the tide and fight back! Now the darkness has passed, the dawn has come, China is getting better and better, and there are scientists like Qian Lao who have made great achievements. How can we be afraid of them?
The more he thought about it, the happier he became. When he encountered a red light, Song Qingzhou stopped.
He has a habit of observing the things around him no matter where he goes. His eyes are always distracted to make sure there are no uncertain factors around him.
At this moment, at the eleven o'clock direction, a somewhat familiar figure suddenly appeared.
Song Qingzhou was stunned for a moment, his eyes widened in disbelief, and looked towards the eleven o'clock direction, his eyes fixed on the figure.
Familiar yet strange...
His body reacted faster than his brain and he rushed forward on his bicycle. The traffic officer tried to stop him but failed. He could only watch him rushing around on the road, swaying from side to side.
Fortunately, this was in the 1970s when there were fewer motor vehicles. If it were in later times, we would have to go through the funeral procession.
By the time Song Qingzhou chased to the entrance of the alley, the figure had already disappeared.
Are you dazzled?
Looking at the endless alley, Song Qingzhou regained his senses.
It's impossible. She has been dead for so many years. How could she appear here?
If people look alike, it must be my own eyes that are dazzled.
He would not put himself in danger, so he immediately got on his bike and turned around to leave. If he stayed any longer, there was no guarantee that something bad would happen. His current identity was very important.
Maybe it was a trap set by someone with ulterior motives.
Song Qingzhou walked too fast and did not see a figure walking out of the alley shortly after he left.
The woman was probably in her forties, and looked very elegant. Her eyes seemed to be filled with the entire galaxy, like an old friend...
