Bai Song's wedding day was December 3rd, Sunday, the 16th day of the 10th lunar month, an auspicious day.
After marriage...
Um……
Um……
Um……
Let’s not talk about married life for now.
…
Four days later, at the Criminal Investigation Bureau, on Thursday, it snowed heavily.
"You're only taking a few days off after getting married?" Wang Liang was feeling sleepy when he suddenly saw Bai Song standing at the office door.
"Civil servants only have three days of marriage leave," Bai Song said, "five days including the weekend."
"So you can't take two days off and connect it to next weekend? Wouldn't that make it nine days?" Liu Shuyuan stood up with the cup and went to the water dispenser to get some water. "Your boss won't deny your request for leave, so don't tell me you're short of these few days' salary."
"Xinqiao's father is lucky this time. Although he is busy, his boss heard that his daughter is getting married and gave him ten days off. So Xinqiao wants to go home and spend more time with her father." Bai Song said.
"You haven't changed your words yet?" Sun Jie asked, "So you didn't go anywhere. You stayed at your house for two days, then went to their house for two days, and then you came back?"
"She... my father-in-law... bah bah bah... my father-in-law actually loves fishing, I accompanied him to fish for two days..." Bai Song fell into painful memories. His personality was not really suitable for fishing, mainly because he loved to think too much.
He couldn't sit still while fishing, and would always consider other ways, such as fishing with a net. In short, he just disliked the time-consuming nature of fishing.
"Your father-in-law is so busy, how can he go fishing?" Wang Huadong does go fishing occasionally: "It's something that people with more time do."
"He's not any good either. He didn't catch much after fishing all day." Bai Song said, "I feel like we caught about the same amount..."
"I remember that you rely purely on luck to fish, and you have no skills. So he didn't take you fishing just for fishing." Sun Jie is an experienced person.
"Hmm?" Bai Song stood still and thought for a while: "Well, I think I understand."
"Is it his daughter who loves eating fish and wants you to learn a skill?" Ren Xu felt as if he understood something, and he ate nuts while talking.
"Uh," Sun Jie glanced at Ren Xu, "Didn't you say that you ate too much on Bai Song's wedding day, and that you should eat less these days?"
"You guys don't eat the candies and fruits he gave you when he got married. Wouldn't it be a waste if I don't eat them?" Ren Xu said as a matter of course.
"He definitely wants you to do things calmly and not rush things." Sun Jie said to Bai Song. He shouldn't have paid attention to Ren Xu...
"Well, let me temper my heart," Bai Song thought for a while, "Then I'll take the high-speed train the day after tomorrow, Saturday... Forget it... I won't go. It would be too deliberate if I go again. In fact, he still misunderstood me. I am not so impatient anymore. Otherwise, I would not be able to accompany him for two whole days."
"Indeed, his father-in-law hasn't had contact with Bai Song for a long time, and Bai Song is no longer impatient when handling cases." Wang Liang's words are relatively objective.
"That's what fathers do," Sun Jie nodded. "It's not easy for your father-in-law to have a ten-day holiday."
"Maybe there is some progress," Bai Song shook his head. "I can't ask about these. It should be related to condensed matter physics? Who knows. Anyway, it has nothing to do with us."
"Condensed matter physics?" Wang Liang asked, "Isn't it high-energy physics?"
"Anyway, they're all the same to me..." Bai Song said, "My father-in-law is a role model except that he spends less time with his family. He's a role model for the country. He's been pursuing his career all his life, but he also told me to spend as much time as possible with Xinqiao."
"Now that you're back, you're not busy anymore, right?" Sun Jie said, "I've seen that we don't have any cases right now."
"Why not? Wasn't it said that the case would soon have a conclusion?" Wang Huadong asked.
"Which one?" Bai Song suddenly became alert. Every case he was paying attention to was no small matter.
"It's the murder case at the East City Branch," Wang Huadong said. "I saw information this morning saying that the identity of the deceased is about to be confirmed."
"What do you mean by 'soon to be confirmed'?" Bai Song immediately asked, "The identity of that body part is soon to be confirmed?"
"In a county, someone with the same Y chromosome as the deceased has gone missing, and they have been out of contact for about three months. The DNA of the missing father has been sent here, and we are currently doing DNA identification." Wang Huadong said, "If they match, the identity of the deceased will be confirmed."
"So fast!" Bai Song said, "Why are we still wasting time? Let's go."
"Where are you going?" They were all speechless. Wang Liang shook his head: "I take back what I said before. If you ask me, you haven't changed at all."
"Wang Liang, you should quickly investigate the deceased's family..."
Bai Song was talking when Wang Huadong interrupted him: "Alright, no need to check. I received a message saying that the missing man in their family has been found. This is not it."
"Oh..." Bai Song calmed down for a moment and found himself a little anxious again.
"What's wrong with you? If they were sure, the police station would also arrest you." Sun Jie said, "I just praised you for not being impatient, but now you are so impatient."
"Maybe it's the aftereffects of marriage," Bai Song seemed to understand something. "To be honest, not only me, but even Xinqiao is not used to the state of marriage... Although we feel good together, we don't want to admit that we have grown up... My parents are urging us to have a baby, and I want to hide these days."
"Normal," Sun Jie said, "Everyone has this process. You just saw a case and wanted to hurry up and get back to your previous work status."
Bai Song nodded, which was considered as his agreement.
The tense atmosphere passed, Bai Song relaxed, returned to his seat, turned on his computer and checked his email.
"It's nothing," Bai Song said.
"We had a few documents originally. We thought you wouldn't be here for a few days, so we wrote them for you." Wang Liang said, "I wrote them."
"When did you become so reliable?" Bai Song was a little unconvinced.
"Fuck, since you're married, I'm treating you as a favor. Just this once, don't worry about it next time."
"Thank you, thank you," Bai Song didn't continue chatting with Wang Liang. He actually didn't like dealing with these documents, but these tasks took up at least one third of his time, so he had to do it.
"That's more like it." Wang Liang nodded.
"It looks like the case at the East City Branch has come to a close. I see that the tasks that were filmed in the early stages have been completed well in various places," Bai Song looked at the email. "If this person is not found after searching all over the country, then this case will just remain unsolved."
"Yeah, we can only wait until the technology advances and we can do DNA profiling or something more advanced, then we can consider it again," Sun Jie nodded.
We chatted for a while and then someone knocked on the door.
"Come in," Bai Song looked towards the door, and the person who came in was from the bureau.
"What's the matter?" Bai Song asked first. When he spoke, the others put down their work and looked at the person coming in.
"Director Bai, Director Wei said he has something to talk to you about. It's inconvenient to call, so let me come and call you. Besides you, there's also Section Chief Wang."
"Okay, I understand." Bai Song stood up and called Wang Liang, then asked the people from the bureau, "Do I need to tell our section chief?"
Bai Song has been in the Case Handling Section for such a long time and has a good relationship with the old section chief (at the division level). However, the old section chief is about to retire and basically doesn't take care of the cases. Any matters are handled by several deputy section chiefs (at the deputy division level).
"He's also with Director Wei."
"Okay, I got it." After saying that, Bai Song took Wang Liang out.
When he arrived at Director Wei's office, he saw several familiar figures, most of whom were elite officers. This made Bai Song a little confused. What kind of big case was this that required such a big fuss?
"Someone delivered a report letter to the door this morning," Director Wei said, "Bai Song, you two are late. Take a look at the report letter first."
As he spoke, Director Wei took out two copies and gave them to Bai Song and Wang Liang.
Bai Song took it and looked at it, his expression gradually becoming serious. This copy came from a report submitted by someone who had just returned from X. The report contained a lot of content, some of which was quite anti-human.
The original report was handwritten and the paper was almost torn, so for your convenience, I made several copies. It can be seen that it was not easy for the reporter to write this report, and the paper was almost torn.
"I have another USB drive of his here," said Director Wei, "but it's a little damaged. He broke the USB drive's connector, put the chip inside into a small plastic bag, swallowed it, and brought it back. It needs to be repaired."
"Why do we have to break this plug?" Bai Song was puzzled.
"It's probably because the plug is a large piece of metal and they're afraid that the metal detector will find it. Although the chip on the back of the USB flash drive also has metal, it's much smaller than the plug and is not easily found, so it can pass through customs," Wang Liang explained.
The main structures of a USB flash drive include a plug, a main control chip, an LDO, a Flash, a PCB board, etc. Among them, only the plug is a large piece of metal.
"Well, that should be the reason. The informant's health condition is very poor. It's a miracle that he was sent here. His whole body is a little swollen. He has been sent to Union Hospital." Director Wei said: "Wang Liang, you are responsible for getting the contents of this USB flash drive out without any error. If we are not sure, we can go to the Science and Information Bureau. I remember you were there when you first came here, and you are familiar with the situation there. I'll leave this to you first."
After giving Wang Liang a small USB chip, Director Wei said to everyone, "Now that everyone is here, let me talk about it. Director Zhang and others and I briefly discussed this matter. Although we have no jurisdiction, many things here are endangering our social stability. It involves not only public security cases, but also smuggling, human smuggling, and organizing illegal border crossings. In addition, there are many fraud gangs' nests here. Of course, the most common ones are the nests of online gambling, which we need to crack down on at the moment."
Everyone understood what was going on, but no one asked Director Wei. Everyone just wanted to hear what Director Wei’s plans were.
"How to deal with this matter is not what we need to consider now. What we need to do is to reverse the current cases of telecommunications fraud and online gambling from these materials and obtain detailed and effective evidence, and be able to match the chain of evidence with the situation over there. When the time comes, I will take these to contact the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and ask them to assist in contacting place X, and we will bring all the people back." Seeing that no one mentioned the situation, Director Wei made some arrangements.
When Bai Song went to Yuzhou, the bureau organized an outing, and they had some understanding of the place and knew that the root of the problem had not been eradicated. However, that place was not Beijing after all, and they could not investigate to any extent they wanted.
There is not much to investigate at the moment. The informant claimed to have a lot of information about an organization called "Mimei", which has a lot of members. The specific information is not in the report letter, but in the USB flash drive. Director Wei's intention is to tell everyone first, and then share the information after getting the information in the USB flash drive, and then contact various places to start collecting evidence for the case.
Not only that, these organizations have personnel in multiple provinces, and none of them can be left behind, they must all be captured.
…
After leaving Director Wei, Wang Liang went to do something else. Bai Song went back by himself and talked about the matter with everyone.
"Isn't this too cruel?" Sun Jie, a forensic doctor, was speechless when he heard Bai Song talking about the contents of the report letter.
"Human nature is evil, right?" Bai Song said, "Without the restraint of laws, it is really hard to say what people's hearts are like."
Bai Song finds it hard to imagine what a country without laws and rules would be like. In fact, human nature itself does not have such a thing as morality. The existence and generation of morality serves the society. Theoretically, if there is only one person on the earth, then morality is basically meaningless. But when there are more people, morality and laws are meaningful, which can benefit every ordinary person.
In places like X, there are laws, but...
Bai Song clearly remembered that the report letter mentioned an industrial chain related to the replacement of human parts.
Some people need to replace broken parts, but they can't find them in China, so they want to go out to look for them. However, the medical skills in places like FLB and JPZ are very poor, and they can't do this kind of work of replacing human body parts, so a special industrial chain has emerged.
They capture people from FLB, JPZ and other places, send them to TG, where transsexuals abound, and then forcefully remove parts from the captured people in hospitals in T and replace them with other people's parts. The parts here are not just those that will not kill you if one of them is removed, but also those that will kill you if removed.
"Human life is unfair," Liu Shuyuan sighed, "so we must always be vigilant and work hard to make our country stronger and stronger. Only in this way can our people always be stable."
This sentence originally sounded like an official cliché, but when it was said at this time, everyone agreed with it.
"When will Wang Liang come back?" Wang Huadong asked.
"This thing should be very simple, right? I feel like anyone who repairs a cell phone can solder it. I just don't know if the person who provided the evidence was careful when he broke it." Bai Song said.
"He paid for it with his life." Sun Jie sighed, "He must have been very careful."
Sun Jie has been working as a cadaver teacher since his freshman year in college. After six years of working, he has no idea how many cold corpses he has come into contact with, but his heart has always been warm.
"I won't eat lunch. I plan to go to the hospital to see this person." Bai Song said, "This person's condition is said to be very bad."
There was one thing Bai Song didn't say, which was that there must be a reason why the report reached Director Wei so quickly. Maybe this person fainted when he got here.
"Let's go together", everyone felt that this person deserved respect.
At noon, we all arrived at the hospital together. This place is not far from the hospital, only more than two kilometers away, and it can be reached in ten minutes by car.
Bai Song was very familiar with this hospital. After asking a few people, he found the emergency room. At the door, he saw his colleagues from the unit.
"Why are they rescuing?" Bai Song was a little surprised. Could it be that this person had already died to the point where he could get to this place?
"I came here with the ambulance. We called 120 at our door at that time. The patient has been under rescue here since he was sent here. I don't know the details." The policeman was not familiar with Bai Song, but he knew that Bai Song was the leader of his unit.
Bai Song looked around and asked a doctor he knew.
"He has edema all over his body, bilateral renal failure, subacute liver failure, insufficient blood supply to the heart and suspected premature beats. In addition, his spleen... let's put it this way, there are few parts in his body that are healthy." The doctor said, "He is on dialysis. Bilateral renal failure is the most serious problem now. You can simply understand it as uremia. By the way, what's wrong with him?"
"His health had been failing for a long time. Just to bring some materials here, he came all the way back from X place to the door of our unit in such a bad condition." Bai Song said.
"Is he our comrade?" the doctor asked in awe.
"That's not the case. He was probably out there for gambling, but he finally came to his senses and made this decision." Bai Song said, "He is a Chinese."
"The prodigal son has returned," the doctor sighed, said nothing more, and went on with his work.
Soon, the rescue light came on and several doctors came out. One of them knew Bai Song and shook his head when he saw Bai Song.
"Is he dead?" Bai Song's pupils shrank slightly.
"It's a miracle that he can hold on until now," the doctor said. "If I'm not mistaken, he has hardly slept in the past few months, his body has been overdrawn, and he has not eaten healthy food and water. In addition to overwork and malnutrition, he has suffered multiple traumas, three times on his head alone, and infections have appeared in many parts of his body. Not only that, he also has some parasites in his body, some of which are not found here, so his body must be rendered harmless."
"Leave the cremation to me," Bai Song sighed, "After all, I didn't get to hear his last words."
After saying that, Bai Song asked, "What's his name?" Only after asking did he realize that it was impossible for anyone to know this person's name.
This man was wearing shabby clothes and had come here from thousands of kilometers away, dragging his frail body.
Bai Song and others knew why this person went out, but they knew better why he came back.
Thinking of this, several people stopped and saluted.
Everyone makes mistakes. Bai Song could see from this man's letter of complaint that he showed some remorse, but he did not mention his own name.
I think this name can be found, because the report mentioned the name of his fellow villager. He hopes that the police can bring his fellow villager back. Even if they can't bring him back, he hopes to bring back his ashes. This is his only wish.
At the end of the report, the person seemed to want to write something, but perhaps he didn’t have enough strength, so he only wrote two words:
if.
…
When something like this happens suddenly, everyone feels a little sad.
"Since he doesn't owe any debt, why doesn't he come back earlier?" Wang Huadong sighed.
"He worked so hard, he shouldn't have been forced. If he was forced, he wouldn't have had a chance to come back. From his letter, he should have tried to redeem his fellow villagers, but he tried hard and failed." Bai Song had read the report letter, and now after hearing what the doctor said, he roughly understood what was going on: "From the logic of the report letter, this person is an educated person, at least he has attended high school. He didn't necessarily obtain those materials for us. He might have wanted to use them to extort money, but later he realized that extortion is courting death. Later, his fellow villagers were not rescued, and he was disheartened. He also knew that he didn't have much time left, and he only had one last belief."
"I think what you said is the truth." Liu Shuyuan nodded: "Let's wait for the results from Wang Liang. Let's deal with his body first."
Bai Song glanced at Sun Jie, and Sun Jie nodded slightly, without any other plans.
…
Wang Liang was a little selfish. After repairing the USB flash drive, he planned to go back to find Bai Song first. However, when he got back, he found that Bai Song was not there, so he plugged it into his own computer to try out the repair results.
His own computer is not afraid of virus infection, and he will not accidentally delete files suspected of being infected with viruses, so this is the most appropriate thing to do.
After inserting the repaired USB drive, the computer quickly read out the contents of the USB drive. Wang Liang took a look and was shocked at first, then a slightly evil smile appeared on his face.
This USB flash drive contains information about some people, some of whom are in China, and each of them has his own subordinates.
In many fraud cases, money flows in from abroad and needs to be withdrawn in cash at an ATM. In this case, the "donkeys" who ultimately withdraw the money are mostly ignorant students, farmers, etc., and the people who are really controlling the situation behind the scenes never show up.
This table contains the list of these people who do not show their faces, and it is only available at the headquarters.
There are more than 200 names on this list alone, which made Wang Liang unable to help but smile evilly. These people never thought that they would suffer such a big defeat here!
As Wang Liang watched, he made a backup in case something went wrong with the USB drive. Then he found a CD and burned the files into it. He locked the computer and prepared to go out with the CD and USB drive.
Wang Liang was about to go out when he saw Bai Song and his group at the door.
His face was filled with smiles, while the others all looked unhappy, which made Wang Liang a little confused: "The USB drive has been repaired, and there is a lot of evidence in it. How about it, am I awesome?"
"The whistleblower is dead," Bai Song sighed.
"Ah? What's wrong with this guy?" Wang Liang was shocked.
"He had organ failure all over his body and managed to make it here with great difficulty." Wang Huadong was still not happy after hearing Wang Liang's evidence. "He should be cremated now."
"So fast!" Wang Liang felt that he had not yet reacted: "How did he die? Aren't you going to do an autopsy? Who killed him?"
"No more autopsy, no more disturbing him," Sun Jie shook his head. "There is so much evidence. No matter what bad choices he made in the past, we owe him. Let's cremate him as soon as possible and let him return to his roots."
"Wang Liang," Bai Song said, "First, check the information of his fellow villagers, and then find out who this person is. Then we can send the ashes back to him."
"Okay," Wang Liang nodded with some emotion.
In fact, including Bai Song, no one was too sad, just a little sorrowful. They felt that such a person should have a good ending in the end, and that this person was definitely a good brother worthy of trust and a loyal person.
"If that's the case, should we get out earlier so we still have a chance to rescue his brother?" Wang Liang asked while checking the information.
"Do you think his brother is still alive?" Wang Huadong asked.
"The probability is not high. I have probably heard about the situation over there." Wang Liang had been out before, so he knew some things. "But I met a few policemen over there last time. Let them help check it out."
"Will the people over there help you with this?" Bai Song shook his head.
"You don't understand if you haven't been there," Wang Liang said, "I just give out red envelopes. This is the only way to do it."
As he spoke, Wang Liang rubbed his thumb, index finger and middle finger.
"Okay then," Bai Song nodded, "I'll pay for it. If they can rescue the people, it's okay to pay a little more. It will be regarded as fulfilling this buddy's last wish."
"Okay, I'll contact him." Wang Liang nodded.
…
There were too many clues in this case, but they were not urgent and required further sorting. Director Wei assigned these tasks to Wang Liang and several other comrades who were good at computers and gave them three days.
The bureau has high authority, and before it starts arranging arrests in various places, it needs to understand some things further.
Wang Liang was temporarily transferred away, and in the afternoon, several people in the room felt a little depressed.
Everyone knew that their compatriots were suffering abroad, and no one was happy about the death of "Hou Fangyuan".
The identity of this meritorious man has been confirmed. He is from Guangdong Province and his name is Hou Fangyuan.
"They said they won't help." Bai Song was sitting there when he received Wang Liang's message.
"Okay, I understand." Bai Song did not urge Wang Liang. He knew this was normal.
"What's wrong?" Wang Huadong asked when he saw that Bai Song's condition was getting worse.
"Wang Liang just sent me a message. He wants to find someone over there to help investigate, but no one is willing to help." Bai Song said.
"That's true... maybe the money is not enough?" Liu Shuyuan sighed. He did have a wide range of friends, but it was impossible for him to reach that far.
"I don't have any useful friends over there," Wang Huadong also shook his head.
"I..." Bai Song suddenly thought of someone, Zheng Yanwu.
Lao Zheng had taken photos there and had been there before.
Zheng Yanwu was able to take such close and shocking photos there, so he must have found someone special to help him, otherwise he could easily be beaten to death for taking such photos. That place is not a joke.
Therefore, whether it was money or some other reason, Zheng Yanwu must have many powerful friends in the local area.
"I'm afraid that if I find him, he will spend hundreds of thousands to find the person and send him back, and then not tell me." Bai Song said.
"So what? Is saving people more important or your self-esteem?" Wang Huadong asked, "Let's go find him. We all owe him a favor."
"Zheng Yanwu..." Sun Jie also knew this person: "He still owes Bai Song a huge favor, he will definitely be willing to do it, and if he can really save a life by spending a little money, I think he will be happy to do it. Bai Song, Wang Huadong is right, put away your flawless self-esteem."
"I understand," Bai Song nodded, called Zheng Yanwu and told him about this matter, but did not mention Hou Fangyuan. He just said that he wanted to check whether a person was dead or not, and if he was not dead, whether he could be brought back.
Zheng Yanwu had already flown to Europe and readily agreed to this matter, and everyone was relieved.
Do your best and accept your fate. Even if Hou Fangyuan's fellow villager died, it is not something that anyone can change.
Bai Song sent a message to Wang Liang, telling him about the situation, and Wang Liang responded with a thumbs-up emoji.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, another email came. Bai Song clicked it and saw that the situation of a missing person in a certain place in Liao Province corresponded to the information of the deceased.
"There has been some progress in this case?" Bai Song asked, "Could it be that Old Zheng brought me good luck?"
"I don't believe that Old Zheng can have any good luck, unless it is his son Zheng Can, he is the lucky star." Wang Huadong shook his head.
"Old Zheng just told me that he is in Europe." Bai Song suddenly thought of something: "Is he going to look for his son? Seeing that I am married, he misses his son too?"
"Oh my god, this is possible," Wang Huadong said, "Although I don't believe in metaphysics, if you say Zheng Can is lucky, I really believe it."
"Then let's not say anything. Regardless of whether the DNA can match or not, that will take time. Let's first check the family situation of the deceased." Bai Song said.
"Okay," Wang Huadong also opened his mailbox, retrieved the information about the missing person in the email, and began investigating.
This person is not actually considered a "missing person" because his brother sent him a WeChat message a while ago, replied to WeChat, and even transferred 2,000 yuan to his brother. If Bai Song hadn't deliberately stated that "if there is no phone or video communication within two months, you should try to communicate. If you can't contact them, they are considered missing", then this person would have been ruled out.
When the man's parents heard that local police were coming to investigate, they called their son, but the call was unanswered. Only the man's younger brother received a WeChat message saying that his voice had been hoarse recently and he could not answer the phone.
In order to avoid alerting the suspects, the police asked these people to stop asking questions, and then reported the information to higher authorities, and also sent someone to deliver the hair of the missing man's father and mother.
After seeing this detail and combining it with Lin Qing’s case, everyone seemed to have a hunch that it was him!
The murderer must be someone close to the deceased!
