The airport where Bai Song and Sun Jie came from is now under very strict inspection, which is done on purpose for the outside world to see.
The airport has no more than 10 planes taking off and landing every day these days, so it is not difficult to check each tourist one by one, so the current stage is a thorough investigation. For the local police, it is not difficult to maintain this intensity of work for three days.
Of course... Bai Song didn't put his energy here at all...
After leaving the hospital that night, Bai Song went to find the driver who brought Hou Peng back. The driver is currently in the case handling area of Nazhen Police Station, where the director and others are also there.
The driver was still a bit aggressive when he rushed back, but now he couldn't go back. When he came back this time, he was given a sum of money, which he had already sent back to his hometown through other channels. Bai Song asked him how much money he had, but the driver kept silent.
When he came back he knew he was going to be detained, but he still maintained an attitude of "I've taken the money and I'm ready to be detained, so what do I have to be afraid of?" Now that he has settled down, he's a little timid.
In Bai Song's opinion, this is human nature. There will always be brave men when there is a big reward, but people will often become afraid after getting the big reward.
What you gain and what you put in are often equal. If one day someone finds you and says, "If you fly this bag from southern Xinjiang to Beijing for me, I'll give you 50,000 yuan," it would be better to just take the bag and go directly to the police. You don't have to think about what's going on.
The driver must have received a lot of money. His adrenaline was starting to decrease, and he began to feel scared. He felt that he had not considered it carefully, especially since he was going to be detained. He was very scared. He was not afraid of being detained, but he was afraid that those people in X would find him and mess with him in the detention center, which made him feel very insecure.
"Officer, which detention center are you planning to send me to?" The driver was a little scared. When he first came back, he thought it would be fine as long as it wasn't the Mengcheng Detention Center. Now he feels that all the detention centers in southern Xinjiang Province are unsafe. It would be great if he could be detained in Beijing.
"He's being detained in a different place. I don't know where, but it won't be somewhere nearby. It will be kept secret." This was all Bai Song could do.
"Thank you, thank you, officer. I...when will I get in? How can I not go in...is it okay to pay the money..." The driver was a little worried.
"Generally speaking, we need to give you a physical examination and take your statement. You can't be sent to prison until tomorrow morning at the latest. As for you not wanting to go to prison, that's a bit difficult. According to Article 19 of the Public Security Administration Punishment Law, if you want to reduce the punishment or not be punished in your case, only the provisions of the fifth paragraph can meet the requirement of 'having made meritorious contributions'." Bai Song said: "Meritorious contributions are easy to understand. It means exposing crimes we don't know about. Of course, those in X place don't count. I can't control those there. They have to be domestic."
After Bai Song said this, the leaders of the police station looked at him a little more. These leaders certainly didn't believe that a senior leader could be so familiar with the "Public Security Administration Punishment Law". You know, this law is very special. Even those who specialize in law usually study the "Criminal Law" and "Civil Law". The "Public Security Administration Punishment Law" is a law unique to the public security, and it is rare to remember it so well.
"Meritorious performance..." the driver muttered a few words and stopped talking.
"Let's not talk about that for now. I want to ask you some questions about Area X and Area T." Bai Song asked.
"Okay, ask."
…
The next morning, hospital.
Hou Peng woke up and burst into tears when he saw Bai Song.
"How is my brother?" This was the first thing Hou Peng asked when he woke up.
"Which brother of yours, Hou Fangyuan?" Bai Song asked.
"Yes, yes, that's my good brother... Police comrade, didn't he return to China a few months ago? Did he call the police to ask you to save me, I..." Hou Peng was a little excited. He started crying as soon as he spoke. He spoke this sentence intermittently for a minute before he finished it.
Bai Song watched Hou Peng cry, but did not answer. Instead, he waited quietly for a few minutes. When Hou Peng's excitement had subsided, Bai Song said, "Hou Fangyuan didn't know that you went to T. He tried to make money to redeem you in X, but failed. Later, he returned to China with his dying body and brought the news to us. We spent a lot of money to rescue you."
"A dying body!" Hou Peng stiffened his neck and sat up from the bed: "Why is he dying? Who hurt him?"
"No one knows the specific process, but through our speculation and later understanding, he worked everywhere in X place, and because he didn't want to work in a casino, he worked day and night for three months but didn't make much money, and ultimately didn't get you out. Because of his long-term day and night work, great psychological pressure, and serious eating problems, he directly led to organ failure throughout his body, and he was completely unable to make it after returning home." Bai Song still got some information from the driver last night.
The driver I chatted with last night didn't know Hou Fangyuan. These are what Bai Song deduced based on the current situation of some places.
"Where is he!" Hou Peng trembled a little.
"The ashes have been buried in your hometown." Bai Song signaled Hou Peng not to get excited: "But he had a last wish."
Hou Peng was going crazy after hearing the first half of the sentence, and he almost couldn't hold it together. But after hearing the second half, all the pain and anger were forcibly suppressed. He held down his trembling left arm with his right hand and asked, "What last wish?"
"I hope you don't gamble anymore. I hope you're well." Bai Song said.
“Fang Yuan!” Hou Peng’s teeth were chattering when he heard this. He was almost in a state of madness. He laughed loudly, half tilting his head back, tears flowing directly into his mouth but he didn’t care at all. Finally, he pulled the bed sheet and wiped the tears from his face: “Officer, if I, Hou Peng, gamble again in my life, I will cut off my second kidney to commemorate him!”
"Okay, you're a real man." Bai Song nodded: "Hou Fangyuan is a hero. He not only saved you, but also did something to Mimei before she died. Mimei doesn't know who did it yet, so you have to take responsibility for this. I will give you plastic surgery and arrange a new identity for you. Can you accept it?"
"Officer, you..." In Hou Peng's view, these things were like a new life!
He was only too happy to let Hou Peng help Hou Fangyuan carry some of the burden, as he owed Hou Fangyuan too much! Plastic surgery and changing his identity were things he dared not even think about!
His life was lived again!
"I'm from the department," Bai Song took out his police officer ID and showed it to Hou Peng. He thought Hou Peng didn't believe that he could change his identity.
In fact, Hou Peng was just too excited to speak, not because he didn't trust Bai Song. It was hard to imagine how desperate he was during this period. He had no chance to turn back and start over in his life. Now hearing this, he even suspected that he was dreaming.
"I..." Hou Peng still had a needle in his left hand, but he didn't care about it at all. He rolled down from the **, and the needle in his hand was pulled down. He was in pain, but he rolled very fast and fell to the ground almost in an instant. After rolling to the ground, Hou Peng used all his limbs to kneel up, shaking all over, and kowtowed to Bai Song.
"No, no, no, we don't do this," Bai Song was startled and went to pull him directly, but with Bai Song's strength, he couldn't pull him up at the first time. It was not until Hou Peng kowtowed three times and Sun Jie came over that he helped him up.
"I..." Hou Peng seemed to have a little blood in his mouth. He didn't spit it out, but swallowed it. "I know what you have paid to save me. The guarantee of a stinky gambler like me is not worth a penny, but you just wait and see!"
"Okay," Bai Song nodded. "You should stay here for a few days to rest. You can't get so excited. You should eat one bite at a time. I believe you have a good mental state now and are eager to succeed with your own hands. But you also have a congenital disadvantage. You can't do physical work. I guess you can only start with small business. Let me make it clear first. If you commit crimes again, I will personally arrest you and confront you in front of Hou Fangyuan's tomb."
Hou Peng did not respond to this sentence, but his eyes proved everything.
…
After leaving Hou Peng, Bai Song received a call from the chief of Nazhen Police Station.
"Director Bai, we were planning to send the driver yesterday to another detention center in Chacheng. When we were about to send him there, he suddenly wanted to report the problem to us, and said he would only tell you, so we had to stay away."
"Oh? Where are you now?" Bai Song was a little curious, because this was definitely not a trivial matter.
I chatted with this driver for a long time last night but didn't mention this matter. Today, his detention has been approved for execution. But suddenly I thought, this is probably not a trivial matter.
"Our police officers have already driven back when they heard about this. They will probably be back in an hour and a half." The director asked, "Would you like to come over?"
"Okay, I'll be there in an hour and a half." Bai Song agreed.
After hanging up the phone, Bai Song told Sun Jie about this matter. Sun Jie was also interested when he heard it: "Let's go and take a look. This is much more interesting than the thing you mentioned before."
Bai Song's original plan was to stay at the road checkpoint from Banna to Mengcheng for two days to wait for X... To be honest, only Bai Song would do such a thing. He didn't know any information or clues, but he had to stay at the checkpoint for two days...
"Although I have already explained the situation at the checkpoint, it is safer for me to go there in person." Bai Song said with a smile, "There is no rush over there. Let's go see what the driver says first."
The two of them did not bring any clerks with them this time, nor did they ask the people here to arrange food and accommodation, so they just wandered around the area and got to know more about Mengcheng. Knowing that it would take another hour and a half to get back, they found a place to eat something before going to the Nazhen Police Station.
When we arrived at the police station, the driver had not come yet. We chatted with the leader there for a while, and then came back with the driver's car.
After returning, Bai Song found an empty room and called the driver in.
"If you have anything to tell me, there is no outsider here, just the three of us." Bai Song closed the door, and Sun Jie was also there.
"Leader, before I did this yesterday, I knew that the person I sent back was not a simple person! You must be our superiors. After thinking about it, I believe you! I am really afraid of the detention center here, I dare not go in. If I have made meritorious contributions, will I really not be detained?" asked the driver.
"That's right," Bai Song nodded. "As long as you have made great contributions, it is possible to change your sentence to a fine or not to detain you. And you can trust us. We are from the capital."
"Okay!" the driver said, "What I'm reporting is a big deal, you must keep it secret!"
"You say." Bai Song nodded.
"I want to report a smuggling gang here. They dare to smuggle everything, including cheap goods! Their boss is still in the country!" said the driver.
"Tell me more about it." Bai Song was very calm. The driver had driven around here before and knew that this kind of thing was normal.
"I don't know the specific name of their leader, but he has a nickname, 'Invincible'! He's very smart! His team has more than a dozen people, and they are loyal to him! Because they are loyal enough, they are always united and nothing has ever happened. They have been here for many years." said the driver.
"What you reported are not specific clues. I can't investigate based on this." Bai Song wanted to hear more.
"The reason why his gang is united is mainly because of this leader, who is invincible. He knows the art of witchcraft! Every time he carries out some tasks, he will let his men eat a capsule, which contains a poisonous worm! I heard that only one of these poisonous worms can be eaten, and then after the task is done, he will give the antidote. As long as you take the antidote afterwards, nothing will happen! The leader only carries one antidote with him for emergencies, but that antidote must never be taken casually! If you eat it in advance, the poisonous worm will go crazy and you will die!" The driver said it mysteriously.
"Poisonous insect?" Bai Song found it interesting. He had been to southern Xinjiang so many times, but he had only seen this thing in books before, and had never actually seen it.
"Yes! I won't hide it from you. Two years ago, I heard from someone when I crossed the border secretly. One of his younger brothers betrayed him and stole the antidote and took it. As a result, he died soon after. I also know where he was buried. It's not far from the city. He wanted to run back to the hospital, but he died before he got there. He was later buried!" said the driver.
"Oh? Do you know where the body is buried?" Bai Song nodded. This was the accurate clue for the crime. As for the previous clues, they were all hearsay and the police had no way to investigate.
How to check? Look for strange stories in novels?
"Yes, I know, but I don't dare to go because I'm afraid of being seen. I can tell you the place, the exact place. You can find a police dog nearby and he will definitely find it." said the driver.
"It's okay. You can sit in the car and no one can see you." Bai Song said, "It's better for you to go there in person to show the way. You can let us go to places that the car can't go to."
"Officer, I won't go... I'm afraid of that thing. That poisonous insect is too scary!" The driver shook his head quickly. He has been here for so many years and has heard a lot of stories like this. They are really too scary. He dare not break the law himself.
"Okay, then point it to me on the map." Bai Song nodded.
