2052, Thirty Years Of Sleep

Zhang Zitong was startled and subconsciously covered his mouth with his hand: "Ah? How could...what's going on?"

"Xia Houhao killed all three of them, and you were his fourth target." Officer Qian's voice was low, causing an inexplicable chill to hang over the sunny office.

Zhang Xixue sat back, lowered her head and began to read the file: "The first deceased, Nie Siyuan, was single, unemployed, 19 years old. He had three criminal records, including theft, gathering for gambling, and robbery with a knife. He often committed crimes in the north of the city. There was activity in the development zone. It was probably not a coincidence that he appeared there, but he was targeting you."

"You are targeting me?" Zhang Zitong hugged the backpack in his arms tightly.

"Yes, he may have originally wanted to rob you, but then his plan was disrupted by a sudden car accident." Officer Qian nodded, indicating that he agreed with this statement.

An old police officer like him knows best what these idle people are thinking.

"The second deceased, Zhang Peng."

Zhang Xixue continued: "31 years old, single, no criminal record, and currently unemployed. He originally worked for a cultural media company, but was fired due to work mistakes a month ago. He will appear in the new development zone that day, I’m applying for a clerical job in a newly established small company.”

"The third deceased, Liu Yuhang, was 40 years old, married, and had no criminal record. He was a worker at a construction site in the development zone. He was originally from Shandong, and his wife and daughter are in his hometown."

Officer Qian tapped his fingers on the table and concluded: "Based on the backgrounds of these three people, they have one thing in common, that is, they are all short of money. Nie Siyuan is addicted to gambling and cannot save money. Zhang Peng just lost his job. , and Liu Yuhang has borrowed a lot of money from relatives in recent years in order to treat his daughter's illness, and he has been under great financial pressure."

The girl listened quietly, her eyes wandering on the desk, not knowing what she was thinking.

...

After Zhang Zitong completed the transcript, the police solved many of their doubts about this serial murder case and finally made a major breakthrough.

Zhang Xixue dug up the accident vehicle records in the Chengbei New Development Zone and found out the identity of the car owner who died on the spot after the accident that day. He was the son of a director of Xinyuan Energy Group.

According to the case records, regarding this car accident, the family members did not request to inquire about the details of the case and did not investigate the cause of the accident. The entire case-handling process went extremely smoothly, and in the end the case was hastily closed as an ordinary traffic accident.

In addition, there are many doubts. For example, when the police arrived at the scene, the dash cam of the wrecked vehicle had disappeared. After the body of the car owner was sent to the hospital, it was cremated and buried the next day at the strong request of his family.

There were very few news reports about this accident, and the headlines were basically "Rich second generation died while racing"

All these traces indicate that someone wants to hide something.

And now the police finally know the truth that the other party wanted to hide.

The son of a senior director of Xinyuan Group is involved in the "Red Ice" transaction. Once this news breaks out, it is estimated that the company's brand reputation and market value will be greatly impacted overnight, so those talents will try their best. to reduce the impact of this car accident.

After that, it is estimated that the Xinyuan Group found out the information of the four witnesses on the day of the accident based on the intelligence collected from unknown sources, and then hired a killer to silence them one by one.

No, maybe there is no need to find all four people at all, just one of them is enough.

Under the threat of death, it is impossible for ordinary people to keep any secrets, let alone strangers who are just acquainted with each other.

...

After the transcript was completed, Zhang Zitong left to go to school, while Mu Yun remained at the police station, seemingly wanting to know more about the follow-up to this case.

"According to our speculation, the cause of the incident should be the bag of 'red ice' that Nie Siyuan took away." Zhang Xixue analyzed while lowering her head to record something on the tablet:

"He probably took the bag of 'red ice' not to smoke it himself, but to sell it for money, because he has no history of drug abuse. However, Menxia City has always been very aggressive in anti-drugs, and the number of 'red ice' circulating secretly should not be the same. Not much, and a completely unfamiliar 'source' suddenly appears, which will definitely arouse the suspicion of the shady guys in the underground world."

"So people from the Xinyuan Group can easily find Nie Siyuan as long as they follow the clues." Yan Muyun rubbed his chin and continued.

"Then Nie Siyuan forced a confession and revealed that there were three other people present that day." Zhang Xixue put down the tablet and stretched, her body curves under the light blue uniform were shocking.

Yan Muyun looked away: "So what are you going to do next?"

"Of course we are going to investigate the Xinyuan Group. As long as we have evidence of their crimes, this matter will be over." Zhang Xixue said in a brisk tone, as if this was not a big deal.

Next came the work of the police. Yan Muyun knew how much he weighed and had no intention of getting involved blindly. However, there was still another question bothering him at this time: "I want to know right now who the person who was supposed to contact Xia Houhao yesterday was."

"This is indeed a problem." Zhang Xixue nodded: "But now we have guessed who is behind the scenes. As long as the other party is arrested and brought to justice, this kind of gangster who does dirty work will naturally be found out, right?"

"No, that's not right." Yan Muyun shook his head with a serious expression: "If that person is a gangster, why doesn't he show his face?"

"What do you mean?" Zhang Xixue was stunned for a moment.

"What is certain now is that Xia Houhao does not know that person, otherwise he would not have mistaken me for him."

Yan Muyun pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose, his expression and behavior looked more like a detective than a Japanese elementary school student:

"Today's technology is so advanced that there must be many ways to avoid government surveillance and communication. Even I, an old antique who has been sleeping for thirty years, now know that the private chat function of 'Jie Ke' is absolutely private and confidential and will not reveal anything. Information. Therefore, it is not difficult for two people on a killing mission to send photos to each other for identification."

"If the connector was just a minion, why did he hide his identity and appearance? Would the people at Xinyuan Group really allow a 'minion' to hide his head and tail, make a secret, thereby adding uncertainty and risk to the mission? ?”

Zhang Xixue subconsciously raised her stool and rocked it back and forth a few times: "When you say that...it's true."

"So there are two possibilities now." Yan Muyun raised two fingers and made a "V":

"First, that person only collects money to do things, and is not under the jurisdiction of the black organization behind the Xinyuan Group. Second, that person has a more important role, and his identity information cannot be exposed for such a small task. Although it is temporarily I don’t know what that person’s intention is, but it can’t be a good thing.”

Zhang Xixue nodded repeatedly when she heard this, her eyebrows and eyes filled with admiration.
