Night watch

Chapter 4 The Desperados
It's no use crying over spilled milk, because every force in the universe is conspiring to spill the milk.

Xiao Wang tiptoedly opened the door of the house.

The first floor was dark, and the sky outside the curtains had turned white, but it did not illuminate the living room at home.

There are several pairs of shoes neatly placed at the door.Dad's, Mom's, and that brat's big sneakers.Brat, wearing a size 45 shoe.He himself said it well, only with big feet can he have a stable center of gravity.

The house is so peaceful.It seems that after a year, this brat finally reconciled with his parents.Not surprisingly, it was Tang Dangdang's credit, so I have to thank her well later.

Xiao Wang struggled to put a large pile of materials on the shoe cabinet, and then began to change shoes.

The door of the master bedroom on the second floor rang, followed by the familiar sound of Dad's footsteps going downstairs.

"Morning, Dad." Xiao Wang said.

Xiao Wentian frowned, raised his eyes to look at Xiao Wang, and said hoarsely, "Oh, you just came back?"

"Dad, I went to see Uncle Lin from the Provincial Department last night." Xiao Wang, who hadn't rested for two days and nights, was still full of energy, "Then, I discovered a major event."

Xiao Wentian's brows were still untied, he hurriedly packed his briefcase, and asked without raising his head, "Any important discoveries?"

"About the theft of children in our jurisdiction the night before yesterday." Xiao Wang stood behind Xiao Wentian.

"Oh, not bad." Although Xiao Wentian was not very interested in this information, he still encouraged his son reluctantly.Policemen who have just joined the police are full of enthusiasm, and they must be encouraged constantly to keep their passion undiminished.

"Are you free to listen?" Xiao Wang asked tentatively.

"Not today, take some time. You can report to your director first." Xiao Wentian looked at the wall clock in the living room, "Your Uncle Liu is already waiting for me downstairs."

Uncle Liu's name is Liu Anping, and he is the deputy director of the Nan'an Public Security Bureau and the head of the criminal police detachment.

"Is it so early today?" Xiao Wang also glanced at the wall clock, a little surprised.

"En." Xiao Wentian thought for a while, since Xiao Wang has joined the police force, there is no need to keep it a secret from him, "Detention center, someone escaped from prison."

"Prison break?" Xiao Wang was taken aback, "How many people?"

"Twenty dozen." Xiao Wentian sighed.

"What!" Xiao Wang's eyes widened. "After the founding of the People's Republic of China, such a large-scale prison escape is still very rare! China's prisons have internal control and external defense, mutual supervision, divisional management, and internal and external differences. It can be said that the management mechanism is The most advanced in the world. Even the Hohhot '10·17' jailbreak incident that occurred a few years ago, and the Harbin Yanshou County Detention Center escape case, there were only three or four people, what is the concept of more than 20 people? The international community will be judged Be shocked."

"If this matter is not properly resolved, there is no way to explain it to the party and the people." Xiao Wentian packed his briefcase, facing the full-length mirror in the living room, adjusted the collar of his second-level police officer's uniform, and prepared to change his shoes.Even though it was urgent, he still felt relieved.It seems that his son Xiao Wang has been in the criminal police academy for four years, read a lot of case materials, and is familiar with the cases in the history of New China; he is also familiar with the mechanisms, methods, and strategies of our country's public security work.In any case, although public security is a highly practical job, the exploration and painstaking efforts of the predecessors are still the best cornerstone of modern public security work.

"Dad, don't you have time to read my report?" Xiao Wang said, "The matter I discovered is not a simple matter."

"Change the time." Xiao Wentian looked at the wall clock again.

"However, these cases of theft of infants and young children are very strange." Xiao Wang said at the fastest speed. Thirty-one children were stolen. The oldest would be older than me this year if they were all alive."

"Everything has priorities." Xiao Wentian said, "What we are facing now is a crime that is a hundred times more serious than this child abduction."

"I don't think so." Xiao Wang said, "Behind the 31 children are 31 families. Let's not say whether this series of cases are child trafficking cases. Even if they are, I think child trafficking is one of the worst crimes." .They endangered 31 families! These families, perhaps for decades, are still crying every day. If the case is not solved, how can we explain to the people?"

Although Xiao Wang refuted Xiao Wentian's point of view, Xiao Wentian was still pleased with Xiao Wang's integrity.He patted his son on the shoulder.

The son has grown up and is even two fingers taller than him.But his son inherited the gene of his wife Fu Ruxi. Although his body is thinner than him, his logical thinking and careful thought are beyond his reach.

Xiao Wentian opened the door and said: "Son, don't worry, I and the 5000 policemen in the city are working hard all the time. Although our detection rate cannot meet the expectations of the people, we have to solve 31 to 20 criminal cases every year. Cases and dealing with hundreds of thousands of public security cases, and many other prevention and control work. We can say that we have a clear conscience! The public security team needs children like you, and I also hope that the waves behind the Yangtze River will push forward the waves and do more for the people Let more people trust us and love us. Now, it is already [-]:[-], half an hour has passed since the detention center discovered the escape, and the criminals may have three or four hours to escape, so there is no delay! I know , these [-] families all expect us to be able to solve the case, but if these [-] or more criminals wander among the people, how many families may be harmed? How many people will be panicked? You say, which is more important, Which is slow and which is urgent?"

Xiao Wang's subsequent words were completely blocked by Xiao Wentian's words, but he was also moved and inspired by these words.He nodded and said, "Dad, be careful."

In every family, father and son greet each other in various ways. Only the father and son in the police family almost have only one sentence: "Be careful."

Xiao Wentian stared at his son and nodded.

Although the detention center made him extremely anxious, but at this moment he was very warm.His son is upright, tough, and full of positive energy, which is what he looks forward to most.In another ten years, he will retire. At that time, he can feel completely at ease when his son takes over the gun in his hand.

Suddenly, he understood his father-in-law's mood very well.Fu Yuanman, the father-in-law, is a famous criminal investigator of the older generation, while the only daughter, Ruxi, insists on studying biotechnology.Although Ruxi still joined the police force later, she was only a behind-the-scenes hero in a technical position such as DNA testing.Therefore, from the day Xiao Wentian and Fu Ruxi fell in love at first sight, Fu Yuanman has been very attentive to Xiao Wentian.He attached great importance to the development of Xiao Wentian's career, supported and taught him.Even though the two of them experienced that incident that neither of them wanted to recall, Xiao Wentian, who was finally appointed to the Nan'an Public Security Bureau, still relied on his own solid foundation to slowly climb to the position of director.The job before he was appointed was the platform for him to accumulate precipitation, but he didn't want to recall it, even the name of the organization, he didn't dare to recall it.When I think about it, I feel distressed.

He knew that his father-in-law had devoted his whole life to the cause of public security.But on the day my father-in-law retired, he smiled sincerely.How should I put it, it is a feeling of being inherited.

Father closed the door, but Xiao Wang remained in the hall in a daze.

Based on his experience, such a large prison escape case must use all the available police and armed police in the city.Then, it is impossible for this series of infant theft cases to be put on the agenda for the time being.

It would be great if there was a special department with the highest authority and the top talents in the police field to deal with some difficult cases.You don't need to take up too much police resources, but you can do more brilliant things.

Even if there is such a department, how can he follow the advice of a trainee policeman in the lowest-level police station?

Xiao Wang shook his head with a wry smile, and patted the materials on the shoe cabinet.He took out a pen from his pocket, and wrote this seemingly naive idea neatly at the end of the report.

"Look." Fu Ruxi was wearing pajamas, standing at the stairs on the second floor.

"Mom." Xiao Wang looked at his mother with a smile.

Fu Ruxi went downstairs quickly, walked in front of her son, looked up at her son, stretched out her hands lovingly to hold his son's face, and said, "Look, where have you been these two days?"

"Oh, there is a case in the office, it's quite complicated, the director asked us to work overtime." Xiao Wang touched his mother's hand.

"Haven't slept for two days and two nights?" Fu Ruxi stroked Xiao Wang's dark circles and said, "You are still so young, how can you not cherish your body so much?"

"It's okay, I've sorted out some materials, and it's quite effective." Xiao Wang patted the pile of materials and said, "These are all prepared for Dad to read, but he has other cases."

"Oh, something big happened." Fu Ruxi obviously knew about the big jailbreak case, "You should also be careful these days."

"It's okay, Mom." Xiao Wang patted the back of Fu Ruxi's hand again to show comfort, "By the way, Mom, does your DNA laboratory also have the task of cracking down on abduction?"

"Yes. We have a dedicated inspection line, which is used as a database for anti-trafficking cases."

"Then, what is your workflow?" Xiao Wang asked curiously.

"Go to sleep first!" Fu Ruxi ordered, "You stay up late when you are young, and suffer when you are old."

"You tell me first, and I'll go to sleep." Xiao Wang said with a smirk.

Fu Ruxi shook her head and said with a smile: "I really can't do anything about you. The laboratory workflow is not complicated. First of all, when any police station and criminal police team find some suspected trafficked children, such as begging children, lost children, etc., they will The blood is collected and sent for DNA testing. At the same time, after the family members report the child missing, the parents will also be sent for testing. You know, the child’s DNA comes from the combination of the parents’ DNA. From the DNA data, the child’s and Parental relationship ratio. Both the child’s DNA and the parent’s DNA are entered into the anti-trafficking database in the form of pure numbers. The database will automatically compare the huge data, and then calculate some high relative ratios, and then perform manual comparisons .Finally, we will issue an appraisal report in the form of a probability number."

"That is to say, as long as the DNA of the child and the parents are entered into the system, there is hope of being discovered?" Xiao Wang asked.

Fu Ruxi nodded and said, "It must be discovered. Our laboratory also compares many lost relatives every year."

"Then, what we..."

"The case of the day before yesterday in your jurisdiction, if I remember correctly, the parents are called Zhao Jian and Li Xiaohong, right?" Fu Ruxi smiled mysteriously, "We were put into storage yesterday morning."

"However, if the child is not found by the police, it still doesn't work." Xiao Wang lowered his head and said, "If the police found a child's body, they will also enter the library, right?"

"It will all be compared."

Since after so many years, there has never been a comparison of the DNA of these cases summarized by Xiao Wang, it means that the victims of these cases either never showed up, or were killed and their bodies were not found.

It seems more and more strange, so many people, where are they going?
Xiao Wang asked himself again in his heart.

"By the way, Xiao Lang is finally willing to go home." Fu Ruxi said with a satisfied expression, "Actually, I have been doing your father's work every day for the past year. Isn't it enough to have a son who becomes a policeman? In the post, I will definitely be able to do as well as Wang Wangyou."

Xiao Wang nodded, and said with a smile: "That brat, he's weird."

"But your dad also understands that he just doesn't want to let go of his old face." Fu Ruxi said, "Fortunately, Xiao Lang performed well this time, and he didn't have any troubles. In addition, the steps of the Dangdang shop are good, and the two of them can get together easily." That's how we make peace."

"Dangdang is also Bingxue smart." Xiao Wang said, "When these two things are over now, we will treat Uncle Tang's family to dinner."

Fu Ruxi nodded.The reunion of the family made her feel extremely warm in her heart.

"I don't know when Dad will be able to come home." Xiao Wang looked at the stack of materials and said, "When Dad comes back, the study room should be the first one to go in, right?"

"That room is your father's treasure." Fu Ruxi chuckled, "When I come back someday, don't I go and read his precious books in that room first? Well, look around, don't stay here anymore, you must go to bed right away!"

Xiao Wangshun nodded obediently, picked up the materials and went upstairs to the study.

He carefully arranged the materials one by one in order, and placed them on the large desk in the study room, and then placed the comprehensive report he wrote in the most prominent place in the center of the desk.After looking back a few times worriedly, Xiao Wang left the study, after all his mother was always watching him from behind.

Fu Ruxi let Xiao Wang drink a glass of milk and eat some biscuits, watched him get into the bed, watched him snoring softly, then quietly turned off his mobile phone, and closed the door to his room.

Busily cooking some meals, Fu Ruxi left a note for her two beloved sons in the living room, telling them that she made their favorite meals, and they were in the refrigerator, and they could eat them after heating them up.The younger brother is not allowed to eat the older brother's share.

Seeing that he was going to be late, Fu Ruxi hurriedly put on his police uniform, and when he opened the door and went downstairs, he found his father standing at the door with his hands behind his back.

"Dad, why are you here?"

Fu Yuanman has white hair, but his face is full of red and he is full of energy. He is over 70 years old, and Lao Fu is still tall and straight standing there, and he can still easily walk ten kilometers without panting.

"Go to work?" Fu Yuanman coughed dryly, "Wentian went to the detention center?"

"You know everything, Dad?" Fu Ruxi showed a sad face, "I guess he is tired of such a big matter."

"I just came to see my two grandchildren." Fu Yuanman concealed his embarrassment.

Fu Ruxi knew that Xiao Lang, who hadn't seen him for a year, stayed at his house for two days and then went home. This made the old Fu feel like he was looking forward to the plum blossoms to quench his thirst, and he missed his grandson even more.That's why old Fu ran home early in the morning to see his grandson, but he was too embarrassed to knock on the door.I don't know why, compared to Xiao Wang who inherited his and Xiao Wentian's mantle, the old Fu likes Xiao Lang more who is out of shape all day long.

"Both of them are sleeping." Fu Ruxi made a shh gesture and said, "Wangwang stayed up for two days and two nights and just lay down. Xiao Lang's habit is that he won't get up before noon."

Fu Yuanman nodded, pointed at home, and said, "I won't bother them either. Then I, go to Wentian's study to read?"

Fu Ruxi let his father in sideways, and said: "That's just right, the two boys get up, dad, please help them cook a meal. Now the post-90s, I don't know how to do anything."

After Fu Yuanman changed his shoes, he pressed his right hand on his left chest, leaned slightly, and said, "I am willing to help."

At such an advanced age, his father still had a childlike innocence, which made Fu Ruxi, who was jogging downstairs, couldn't help laughing.

Fu Yuanman went straight to the study, leaned on the soft armchair and closed his eyes to rest his mind. He was going to have a good chat with his two grandsons after they got up, and enjoy the family happiness.

Inadvertently, he caught a glimpse of the neatly arranged materials on the desk, and his curiosity drove him to pick up the comprehensive report and read it.Unexpectedly, Xiao Wang's clear analysis and eloquent narration quickly attracted him.While looking at the report, he flipped through the copies of each file.

Fu Yuanman is a celebrity in the criminal investigation circle. He has dedicated his whole life to that glorious and mysterious organization, but he has never worked in the criminal police department of public security organs at all levels, so he is very unfamiliar with these files.

These cases not only attracted Fu Yuanman's attention, but also made Fu Yuanman look at his grandson with admiration.What a formidable young man, Xiao Wang was born to be a criminal policeman!

The case analysis report brought Fu Yuanman back to the world of criminal investigation, and even rekindled the enthusiasm that had been hidden in his heart for many years.

Especially the strong pen writing in the last line of the report: "Can you report to the provincial department and the Ministry of Public Security, and set up an action team to deal with extraordinarily large, difficult, and secret cases. Integrating elite talents and superior resources in the police circle, work efficiently It can not only save police force, but also overcome difficulties.”

This line of words made Old Fu's nose sour. If he hadn't tried his best to control it, he might have burst into tears alone in this dimly lit study room.

Facing the line of writing, he said to himself: "My dear grandson, of course you don't know that there used to be such an organization that was invincible, invincible, and made great achievements in battle! However, this person who has been in the police force for decades The secret organization was ruined in the hands of me, your grandfather!"

Fu Yuanman leaned back on the chair and closed his tearful eyes.

Time seemed to go back to more than 50 years ago. His recommender took him into a secret corner in Nan'an City.Although Nan'an City is only a second-tier provincial capital city, it has always been the headquarters of the organization since the founding of the People's Republic of China.

Fu Yuanman remembers that in 1966, when he walked into the gate in his early twenties, he couldn't suppress his inner excitement.

It was a small red brick building. From the outside, it was completely unknown that this was the base camp of the most elite team under the Ministry of Public Security, or even what kind of relationship this small building had with the public security organs.

The front door of the small building is not big, there is no police badge or national emblem, no house number, and no unit signboard.There is only a circular sign hanging on the wall at the door.Well, in this day and age, it should be called a "logo".

This is a ring-shaped logo with a very simple design.In the middle of the logo is a solid six-pointed star, with six white lines extending from the center of the star, supporting the entire ring, shining brightly.

Fu Yuanman remembered that in the whole small red brick building, there were no slogans such as "Serve the people" and "Leniency for confession and strictness for resistance" that the public security organs had to post at that time. There was only a white wall in the lobby of the building. On it, there are three big characters: "Shou", "Night" and "Zhe".

Fu Yuanman remembered that when Old Zheng, the leader of the Night Watch organization at the time, saw him and Dong Lianhe, who joined the organization with him, the first thing he said was: "Do you know what our logo means?"

He and Dong Lianhe shook their heads together.

"The stars are us." Old Zheng said righteously, "We are the guardians of the lights of thousands of families, and the night watchmen who can let the common people sleep peacefully."

Fu Yuanman remembered that Lao Zheng had an in-depth conversation with them, and told them about the history of the Night Watcher for more than ten years, why the Night Watcher was built, and why it was built.During the conversation, he was attracted by the "nine-headed murder case" on the eve of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and was deeply impressed by the abilities of the three patriarchs of the Night Watchers organization.

Fu Yuanman remembered how sacred it was when he took over the green police uniform from Lao Zheng.At that time, the public security department had just replaced the 66-style police uniform, which was similar to military uniforms and carried the blood of many young people.The bright red collar badge on the collar of the police uniform and the shining five-pointed star on the hat aroused Fu Yuanman's great pride.

Fu Yuanman remembers that after 20 years of hard work, he finally sat in the position left by Lao Zheng.However, it has been less than ten years since he showed his strength, and all these ideals came to an abrupt end, and even his ideals could not be inherited...

Fu Yuanman couldn't bear to recall any more, so he took a copy of Hai Yan's novel "The Pirates of Chang'an" from the bookshelf, and read it slowly.

Deputy Director Liu Anping's car was flying like lightning.

When Xiao Wentian walked into the conference room of the detention center, the hour hand pointed to 45:[-].

The conference room was almost full of people.

The director of the detention center, Wang Xiaoming, saw Xiao Wentian walk into the meeting room, so he got up quickly, opened the seat for Xiao Wentian, and called his subordinates to pour tea for Director Xiao.

"Fuck!" Xiao Wentian couldn't suppress the resentment in his heart, "Go back to your seat."

Wang Xiaoming returned to his seat in desperation, with an innocent look on his face.

"What's going on? Who will report?" Xiao Wentian slammed the briefcase on the conference table.

Everyone looked at Qin Zhaoguo.

Qin Zhaoguo lowered his head and said hoarsely: "I'm here to report our major dereliction of duty to the bureau's party committee. At about 01:30 this morning, a blue heavy truck hit the east wall of our office. After the impact, all the policemen gathered at the front door. Be prepared to deal with emergencies. After a 10-minute confrontation between sentry guards, police officers and trucks, reinforcements arrived. After a comprehensive search of the truck, no persons or explosives were found."

"Two questions." Xiao Wentian interrupted Qin Zhaoguo's words, "First, who asked the police from the prison area to participate in the response mission? One platoon of armed police is not enough? Second, where did the people in the car go?"

"It was Director Wang who ordered the police from all the prison areas to come to the front door for reinforcements." Qin Zhaoguo said, "After searching the scene, the special police team believed that the truck started to slide from the east slope of the detention center without driving. Due to inertial acceleration, Finally hit the wall of my courtyard."

"Nonsense!" Xiao Wentian roared, "Don't you know how to ask if you don't understand?"

"I made this decision after fully consulting Director Qin." Wang Xiaoming said weakly.

Qin Zhaoguo looked up at Wang Xiaoming, did not refute, and continued: "After the truck was towed away, the command center has been looking for the truck driver. At about 03:30, the truck driver was contacted and found that the truck was stolen that night. Commander The center contacted me at the time, but I thought that after the impact, I went to the main control room to check the monitoring immediately, and nothing unusual happened, so I simply thought it was an accident. This incident was my negligence Yes, I should take full responsibility."

"It's not up to you to decide who is responsible, it's your responsibility and you can't escape!" Xiao Wentian said angrily.

"Later, when I was in a drowsy sleep, I suddenly felt that something was wrong." Qin Zhaoguo said, "At about 04:30, I immediately went to the main control room to obtain the internal monitoring of each cell. It was found that 22 people from the sixth cell The prisoner disappeared. Later, I rushed into the prison area with the armed police, and found two policemen in the corner of the police office in the sixth prison district. One had already died, and the other suffered from severe mechanical asphyxiation. , is still in a coma."

"How is it possible? The passages in each prison area are monitored. How did people get there?" Xiao Wentian asked.

"At present, I haven't figured out what's going on." Qin Zhaoguo said, "But, there is a question, I, I still have to mention it."

"Say."

"During the defensive response to the front door, I found that the management police of the passage gate were the police in the general control room." Qin Zhaoguo said, "That is to say, after the vehicle hit the courtyard wall, the two policemen in the general control room were transferred to the passage gate. Play defense, the control room is empty at this stage."

"What? The Arabian Nights! Why are there only one group of police officers for two posts?"

"Director Wang said that it is necessary to determine the number of positions, and to merge some redundant positions. He thinks that no one enters and exits the passage gate at night, so there is no need to send someone to be on duty at the passage gate." Qin Zhaoguo said, "So, these two positions are merged."

"Bastard!" Xiao Wentian resisted swearing, "Who told you to do this? Have you reported it to the party committee of the Peace Bureau?"

After finishing speaking, Xiao Wentian cast a reproachful glance at Fang Weiguo, the deputy director in charge of supervision.At the beginning, Xiao Wentian was very opposed to political workers directly serving as chief officers of frontline law enforcement departments without training, but Fang Weiguo strongly recommended Wang Xiaoming, and he even spoke generously at the bureau party committee. Pushed to the very important position of the director of the detention center.Xiao Wentian once predicted that something might happen, but he never expected such a big thing to happen.

"Fixing jobs and posts is the general trend, and it is consistent with the Party Central Committee." Wang Xiaoming said, "This is also a common decision of our detention center leadership."

"I don't know about it anyway." Qin Zhaoguo couldn't help retorting.

"You, why don't you know? Ah, by the way, did you ask for leave that day? It's a personal matter?" Wang Xiaoming stood up and pointed at Qin Zhaoguo.

"Has the passage gate been opened?" Xiao Wentian glared at Wang Xiaoming, and Wang Xiaoming sat back to his original position with his head shrunk.

"It has been opened." Qin Zhaoguo said, "After the special police team searched the surrounding scene and closed the team, Director Wang ordered all the policemen in the supervision area and the armed police on duty to inspect the courtyard wall outside the detention center. After the inspection, the policemen Returning again and again.”

"Are the only policemen going in and out?" Xiao Wentian asked.

"That's for sure." Qin Zhaoguo said, "Everyone is wearing police uniforms. Although it can't be seen clearly at night, I don't think it's impossible for all the prisoners to go out? Oh, not to mention that everyone came back later."

"What about surveillance? Is anyone watching the surveillance video?" Xiao Wentian said.

"At [-] o'clock yesterday afternoon, the suspects returned to the prison area after the last time. We are now watching the monitoring of the sixth prison area and the key passages near the sixth prison area from six o'clock. We are watching now. "Fang Weiguo said.

"Who are the detainees in the sixth prison area?"

"A total of 22 people, all escaped." Qin Zhaoguo said, "Many of them were serious criminals. I read the files of all the prisoners, and seven of them were suspected of crimes committed by evil forces and gangs. The suspect of injury, one suspected of rape, one suspected of arson. Oh, and several suspected of negligent death and theft.”

"Theft?" Xiao Wentian said, "How can he get away with such a minor crime? Doesn't he know that escaping and committing a serious crime?"

"We are also very puzzled about this matter." Qin Zhaoguo said, "It is generally impossible for more than [-] criminal suspects from different sources to collude to escape from prison, because how can people's hearts be so unified? If one person leaks the secret, these people are all finished. Therefore, this matter is really strange. I suspect that it is most likely to be instigated by the seven underworld people, because two of these people are underworld leaders and have some reputation in the underworld. They use this to suppress people, even if the crime I dare not go against their wishes and escape from prison with them.”

"Take the structural diagram of the detention center." Xiao Wentian ordered.

A large schematic of the prison structure is projected on one wall.Xiao Wentian approached the wall, looked carefully, and frowned.

"Immediately retrieve the surveillance footage from the opening of the tunnel gate that night." Xiao Wentian said.

Soon, the projector began to play the image when the passage gate was opened that day.A large group of policemen walked out of the detention center through the gate in a loose manner.Xiao Wentian read the numbers silently.

After a while, the projector started to play the video of the policemen returning to the detention center.Xiao Wentian was still reciting the numbers silently.

"We have 34 prison areas, and every night there are two guard policemen in each prison area." Xiao Wentian said, "I counted just now, and there were indeed 32 policemen who went out through the gate. But when they came back, Only [-]."

"Huh?" Everyone sighed.

"This, this is not my fault!" Wang Xiaoming exclaimed, "The dregs of society are premeditated! I am not responsible! I cannot be responsible!"

"Whether you are responsible or not is not up to you!" Xiao Wentian said, "Who is watching?"

"The procuratorate is the sponsor, and the supervisory department of our bureau cooperates." Director Liu whispered from the side.

"Before they watch the surveillance, let me tell you how these suspects escaped." Xiao Wentian was furious, "Open the structure map of the detention center."

The policeman in charge of playing the slideshow was so frightened that he quickly switched pictures.

"Two police officers were injured, one dead and the other injured. However, there were quite a few people who left the prison area, and there were two less people who came back together, which means that among the thirty or so policemen, there were two prisoners." Xiao Wen The sky said, "I want to know why there are two criminals among you and none of you know?"

"At that time, all the lighting equipment was pointing to the outside of the courtyard, so the compound was very dark." A policeman in the prison area said, "And, to be honest, we have so many prison areas, each of which is relatively independent, so there is mutual influence. Colleagues I don’t know. No one will take it seriously when they see a few strangers in the crowd.”

"Okay, then I'll continue." Xiao Wentian said, "Why did the other [-] prisoners in the same cell disappear when two prisoners went out through the gate? It's impossible for the two of them to hide everyone. Did you take it in your pocket?"

Everyone shook their heads dumbly.

Xiao Wentian said: "Before the vehicle hit the courtyard wall, the two murderers were already in the police office of the Sixth Ward. Because the monitoring in the main control room shows all key passages, there is no real-time monitoring of the police office. One is because The rules of the detention center clearly stipulate that no one is allowed to bring the prisoner out after being admitted at night. The second is that the general control police are generally unwilling to pry into the privacy of the police. But sometimes, some police are eager for quick success. Confess that no matter what the time is, the interrogation will be done privately. Some policemen even took advantage of it and did not wear restraints on the prisoners according to the regulations during the interrogation! No matter how many times the order has been banned, they still do not change their minds!"

Several policemen lowered their heads in shame.

Xiao Wentian said: "Before the collision, the two policemen were attacked by two interrogates. Finally, in the surveillance corner of the office, they took out the policemen's keys and changed the police uniforms in the closet. The collision After the incident, through the intercom, the prisoners knew that all the policemen were going to gather in the front yard. Taking advantage of the chaos, they opened the doors of the three cells in the sixth prison area, and then went to the front yard pretending to be policemen, and left from the front yard. Why did they plan this way? ?”

Several people shook their heads.

"If these prisoners want to escape from the prison area covered by the sky, the only way is the sewer!" Xiao Wentian said, "All the sewers in the detention center have protective measures. How to protect them? I know! The part inside the prison, There are three fences. In order to facilitate cleaning, the police in the prison area have keys. But in order to prevent the possibility of collusion between inside and outside, these sewers lead to the exit outside the institute, and there is also a fence to seal this door. Only the leader of the supervision detachment has the key. The fence seals Living outside the sewer, the sewer is extremely narrow, and there is no way to destroy it from the inside of the sewer. Even the police in the detention center cannot escape the detention center through the sewer.”

Everyone was silent.

Xiao Wentian went on to say: "Then, the purpose of these two criminals who sneak out in police uniforms is to go to the outside of the sewer and destroy the fence, so that those who leave the prison through the sewer can return to the world of freedom."

Everyone looked surprised, nodded and thought: Indeed, this is the only way that makes sense.But in this method, every link is very dangerous, and every link must be seamless, and there is a risk of being discovered by the master controller.

"How long did it take from the incident of hitting the wall to the restoration of guards in the main control room?" Xiao Wentian asked.

"After hitting the wall, about 10 minutes later, the special police arrived. About 15 minutes later, the special police closed the team." Qin Zhaoguo looked at his notebook, obviously he sorted out a detailed record of the whole process, "After the special police closed the team, everyone closed I received the order and asked to go out and search. At this time, I found that the policeman who opened the gate was the general control policeman, so I immediately ran to the general control room. At this time, everything has returned to normal. This time, about 2 minutes. Added together, about 25 minutes .”

"This time is completely enough to carry out a well-premeditated escape plan." Xiao Wentian said, "After all, these 25 minutes only need everyone to enter the sewer and close the sewer entrance. It is enough."

"Then, the responsibility for this incident..." Fang Weiguo felt like a mud bodhisattva crossing the river.

Xiao Wentian said: "If there are always people in charge, it is impossible for so many people to enter the sewer under the watchful eyes of the cameras. If the police in the prison area are not transferred out, the two prisoners will not get out and open the sewer from the outside. The fence, then the prisoners in the sewer, it is impossible to escape the fence. Why is there no one in the general prosecutor? Why can the prisoners get out? Who is responsible for these two links, and who is responsible for the whole incident! In addition, the police did not comply with the regulations and were interrogated late at night. All the leaders of the department should be responsible for the leadership. I should also be responsible for the leadership because of my negligence in employing people.”

There was silence in the conference room.

After a while, the door of the meeting room was opened.

Two policemen in prosecutor's uniforms and two inspector badges on their chests walked into the conference room together.

"According to the monitoring and investigation situation," a prosecutor said, "the two on-duty directors of the detention center, Wang Xiaoming and Qin Zhaoguo, have been approved by the Nan'an City People's Procuratorate for suspected crimes of dereliction of duty and dereliction of duty. Criminal detention, this is a detention warrant."

Wang Xiaoming slumped on the chair all of a sudden.Qin Zhaoguo stood up with guilt on his face, signed the detention certificate, and stretched out his two wrists.

Qin Zhaoguo said to Xiao Wentian: "Director Xiao, I'm sorry for your cultivation, I'm sorry for the people, and I'm sorry for the police badge."

Xiao Wentian didn't even look at him, and said to the audience: "Director Fang, who is in charge of the supervision work, is responsible for the leadership, and he is suspended on the spot to accept investigation. I will wait for the provincial department and the municipal party committee to issue my punishment. Before the punishment is issued , I will temporarily direct the investigation of this case. Once I am suspended, Deputy Director Liu Anping will take over as the head of the task force."

3
The special case team was soon composed of heads of criminal investigation, special police, armed police and other departments.

The surveillance video of that night is being played on the projector.

It was exactly the same as what Xiao Wentian speculated.At twelve o'clock in the evening, two policemen from the Sixth Ward took the two suspects through the corridor of the Ward to the policeman's office.In the office, the two suspects were sitting in interrogation chairs, talking to the police all the time.At 12:30, probably at the request of the suspect, a policeman opened the handcuffs of the two.At one o'clock in the morning, the suspect who was talking suddenly launched an attack, attacked the police, and then forced the police to a surveillance corner.

About 10 minutes later, the two suspects took out their police uniforms from the office closet and changed into them, before re-entering the surveillance corner.At about 01:30 in the morning, it should be Wang Xiaoming's order that sounded on the walkie-talkie.The two quickly left the office, passed through the passage of the prison area, and opened the doors of the three cells.

At this time, all the suspects were already waiting at the door of each prison cell, obviously premeditated properly.

After the gate was opened, everyone took the keys from the two suspects, went to the entrance of the sewer, and opened the fence one by one.In an orderly manner, twenty suspects entered the sewer one by one, and closed the fence from the inside.

The whole process only took twelve minutes.

So far, everything is quiet.Until 45:[-] in the morning, Qin Zhaoguo rushed into the sixth prison area with armed police.

"After reading it, I was very confused." Xiao Wentian said, "All these loopholes were caused by Wang Xiaoming's temporary misdirection. Then, how did these criminal suspects predict Wang Xiaoming's mistakes?"

"I have to suspect that Wang Xiaoming may have some dealings with these prisoners." Director Liu said.

Xiao Wentian shook his head, and said: "I know Wang Xiaoming well. Although it can be seen from this incident that he is an idiot, he would not dare to commit such a heinous crime. Moreover, once this incident happens, , everyone will suspect him, and he is not a fool to commit such an obvious crime."

"However, it is unknown to call the guards, let the guards go out, and leave the main control room empty." Director Liu said.

Xiao Wentian frowned, and said: "There will be no one in the main control room during an emergency. This may be known to many people after the system is modified without permission. If you know the so-called fixed positions and staffing in the detention center, you will know that in an emergency , the general control police will guard the channel gate, so no one will watch the surveillance.”

"This can be explained." Director Liu said, "Our policemen and prisoners who know the internal situation may know about it. But what about calling the guards?"

"Whether the guards are summoned or not has no effect on their plan to escape this time." Xiao Wentian said, "There are only two police officers in the sixth prison area, and both of them were injured. The policemen in other prison areas will not come here either. If Wang Xiaoming did not give the order to leave the prison immediately , They also have the opportunity to sneak out at dawn, or find other excuses. After all, as long as everyone goes into the sewer, they can wait inside. Once the two of them sneak out, they can escape immediately. "

"Looking at the monitoring," Director Liu said, "The two murderers are hiding in a blind corner of the monitoring, and they seem to be waiting for Wang Xiaoming's order. It means that they probably know that a truck is going to crash into the wall to create chaos."

"That's for sure." Xiao Wentian said, "Such a coincidence must be premeditated. It's a trick of combining inside and outside."

"However, we checked and found that none of these 22 people had any abnormal contact with the outside world since they entered the detention center." The person in charge of the technical department said, "That is to say, the chief planner may It was planned beforehand."

"This point is hard to understand." Xiao Wentian said, "Ordinary people may not know that they will come in, and even if they know they will come in, they won't have to agree with the outside responders beforehand to start the escape plan on a certain day and at a certain time." .It really can't be explained."

"So there are still many strange things about this case." Chief Liu lit a cigarette and took a deep breath.

"There is another thing I can't figure out." Xiao Wentian said, "Among these people, some of them may be sentenced to death, but the vast majority of crimes will not lead to heavy sentences. The seven suspected crimes committed by evil forces, We speculate that the prison term is only 5-10 years. The heaviest of those who intentionally hurt is 7 years, and two of them may even be suspended. The crime of rape is only 5-10 years, and the crime of theft is even lighter. Yes. These people should know that the crime of organizing a prison escape or a violent prison escape is a felony. Why do they take such risks?"

"The only possibility is that the mastermind of this jailbreak case is very good at brainwashing." Director Liu said, "Judging from the fact that more than [-] people can work together, this person is quite skilled in psychological warfare."

"From the formal point of view, the most likely planners are the two people who killed the police." Xiao Wentian said, "If they are not planners, they should not be so easily used to kill people. And these two people, very Unexpectedly, it wasn't those two who could be sentenced to death!"

"Ah? No way?" Director Liu zoomed in on the video screenshot of the police office so that he could see the face clearly.

"If I'm not mistaken, these two people should be Hu Da and Hu Er who are suspected of crimes committed by evil forces." Xiao Wentian said, "The owner of King Kong Hotel was arrested this year because he was suspected of crimes committed by evil forces. Although these two people There are many crimes in oppressing the people, but there is no clear evidence of serious crimes such as murder and drug trafficking.”

"Since they won't give a heavy sentence, why do they want to kill people, or kill the policemen on duty?" Director Liu said sadly.

"It may be that the upstarts don't understand the law and think they will be sentenced to death, so they put all their eggs in one basket." Xiao Wentian said, "They are organized crimes, and they are likely to have the ability to brainwash. Coupled with their notoriety, other People dare not disobey."

"This is the only thing that can explain everything." Chief Liu said, "How long have they been locked up?"

A police officer at the detention center said: "The longest is two months, and the shortest is two weeks."

"It's unbelievable to be brainwashed in such a short period of time." Director Liu said, "Is it possible for these two black bosses to stay behind before they are arrested? The heavy truck hit the courtyard wall or something. Moreover, we have to consider the internal problems of our police.”

"This really can't be ruled out." Xiao Wentian said, "In the future, only those who are present today can know the orders of the headquarters, especially the orders involving secrets, so we must pay attention to them!"

The audience was silent.

"There is another problem, I don't understand." Xiao Wentian said, "Boss Hei can get out by himself? Even if he wants to save his remaining five brothers, he won't be able to fool everyone in the entire prison area." Right? The more people there are, the greater the risk, and they have to be brainwashed, is this necessary? What is his purpose for releasing so many prisoners? To develop the team?"

The audience was still silent.

"There are too many problems that are unclear in the case. To sum it up, it is how to cooperate with the inside and outside, how to understand the internal loopholes of the detention center, how to brainwash everyone, and why they are released." Xiao Wentian thumped the table and said, "Now I order : 2000. The city's special police detachment and armed police detachment mobilized capable forces and mobilized 22 people to carry out comprehensive control and search around the detention center. 22. The criminal police detachment mobilized capable squadrons in each responsibility area to find out the details of the 22 people, and Investigate where they may be hiding. [-]. All members of the technical squadron went online to conduct a comprehensive survey of sewers, trucks, and fences, and found as many fingerprints and DNA as possible, in order to provide court evidence to support public prosecution in the next step. [-]. Other technologies We used all the available surveillance of the city's traffic police and urban management to search and screen the portraits of the [-] people involved in the case. In short, we will try our best to arrest the [-] people involved in the case! The general principle is to start with serious criminals, planners, and socially harmful people. Start. Time limit, three months!"

Xiao Wentian also knew that three months was indeed a bit short.However, at this time, the military order had to be issued.He added: "In order to make it easier for all members of the special case team to identify each prisoner, the logistics team immediately made a link to the photos of 22 people and the information of each person, and sent them to the police mobile phones of each policeman. There are too many people. It’s not easy to distinguish, we are now numbering each prisoner. Hu Da and Hu Er, who pretended to be policemen and got out of the prison, were coded as prisoner A and prisoner B. The other prisoners were numbered from prisoner C to prisoner V according to the order in which they entered the sewer. Such a name is simple, easy to distinguish, and not easy to confuse. This work will be completed immediately without delay. I will immediately report to the provincial department, the municipal party committee, and the Ministry of Public Security. If the case is not solved within three months and all suspects are not arrested, all of us present Take the blame and resign, and ask for punishment according to the responsibility."

As soon as the military order was issued, everyone scattered and left, seizing this precious time.

Xiao Wentian sat on the chair, it was already past noon, but he didn't know he was hungry at all.He didn't know how he, the commander-in-chief of the project, could play the greatest role.

Just now, the Command Center of the Municipal Bureau called and read the instructions sent by the Ministry of Public Security, the Provincial Department, and the leaders of the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government one by one.It can be said that one is more important than the other.Xiao Wentian knew that soon, instructions from the Provincial Party Committee and the Central Committee would follow.He knew that this matter was important, and if it was not handled properly, many people might suffer.What's more serious is that it will make the people panic.Therefore, he decided that he could only give himself three months, not even one more day.

As the chief of the bureau, Xiao Wentian could not go to the front line of arrests, nor could he take the lead in rushing to the front line of investigation.After much deliberation, what he could do now was to take a look at the work of the criminal technology department besides being in command of the task force.

Having made up his mind, he invited Chief Liu to rush to the scene.

In order to prevent further accidents, the detention center has stepped up prevention efforts.The Nan'an City Detachment of the Armed Police Force sent an additional company of armed police to the detention center.At the same time, the police in all the detention centers worked in two shifts, and the number of guards in the prison area tripled every day.

However, this method of remedying the situation after a dead sheep is of no use to the arrest of the 22 criminals.

"The fingerprints and DNA of the 22 criminals were already extracted when they were put in prison." A forensic doctor said, "What we have to do now is to find the identifiable physical evidence and biological evidence of all 22 people along the entire escape route." In this way, evidence can be used to fix the crimes of 22 people and provide a basis for future prosecutions and trials.”

Xiao Wentian nodded, pointed to the sewer where the prisoner escaped, and said, "Are all the three fences opened with keys?"

A trace inspector nodded and said: "There is no trace of prying and pressure. Obviously, they were all opened with a key. We have extracted DNA from places that may have been rubbed around."

"Where are these keys usually placed?"

A detention center policeman said: "When the shift is over, there will be a bunch of keys. Follow the policeman on duty. This bunch of keys includes keys for each cell, office, passage and sewer. There are about ten of them."

"That is to say, you must know each key very well in order to know which key corresponds to which lock?"

"No. As long as you know the shape of each lock, you can tell which key opens which lock according to the size and type."

Xiao Wentian nodded, and wrote everything down in his notebook.

Afterwards, Xiao Wentian came to the policeman's office.

In the office, the interrogation chairs were still in their original positions, and the two stools that the police sat on were thrown to the ground indiscriminately.Because both policemen were injured by strangulation, no blood was left at the scene.

The forensic doctor stepped forward and introduced: "One policeman died. The cause of death was mechanical suffocation caused by strangulation. The other policeman was in a coma, which was also caused by mechanical asphyxia caused by strangulation, and the brain was caused by long-term hypoxia. The injury tool was theirs. own tie."

The spring and autumn long-sleeved outer lining of the 99-style police uniform is required to be tied with a tie.The murderer attacked suddenly, using the tie tied around the neck by the police as a tool.

"Aren't the two policemen struggling?" Xiao Wentian said, "From the surveillance, the murderer is monitoring the blind spot, and the murderer knows where the surveillance blind spot is. He also knows our master control, and usually only monitors the channel in real time."

"Judging from the traces at the scene, because the incident happened so suddenly, the two policemen did not expect that these two criminals, who were not highly sentenced, would commit murder." The forensic doctor said, "Therefore, there was almost no resistance. However, from the side of the murder scene Judging from the attached fingerprints, the murderers are undoubtedly Hu Da and Hu Er."

"It's normal." Xiao Wentian said, "Only if these two people claim to have clues at the same time, they will be brought out together. Different suspects in different cases claim to have clues at the same time, and the police will not interrogate them together."

"Also, after the murderer finished killing, he took the keys and police uniform directly." The forensic doctor said, "There was no extra action. That is to say, all of this was not a temporary intention, but premeditated. "

"This makes me even more convinced that the planners are these two people." Xiao Wentian said, "It's a pity that there are two policemen, alas. Let's go and see the outside of the sewer now."

Xiao Wentian and his group left the detention center on foot, and walked along the rugged path behind the detention center to a small river.On the bed of the creek, there is a sewer mouth with a fence.This is where the sixth prison area leads to the sewer outside the detention center.At this time, the fence at the entrance of the sewer has been opened.

"How did this fence open?"

"In fact, this fence is very strong." The trace inspector said, "It is impossible to open it manually. The key is also kept by the supervision detachment of the Municipal Bureau. Therefore, it took a lot of effort for the prisoner to open this fence."

Xiao Wentian saw that the fence at the entrance of the sewer had been completely deformed, and the copper lock cylinder was even distorted.

"At least, the two planners who escaped didn't have any lockpicking skills. They opened it entirely by brute force." The trace inspector said, "With the strength of our ordinary people, if we want to pry open this fence, at least Got 10 minutes."

"They have nearly half an hour to complete the entire escape plan." Xiao Wentian said, "There is plenty of time. Think about it, how can these two underworld bosses do such fine work? However, since they are big bosses, Why is it possible to complete such a perfect and sophisticated escape plan? It is really puzzling."

Xiao Wentian stood next to the sewer entrance and looked around. There was a cornfield in the distance, and in the distance there was a triangle formed by national highways, provincial highways and expressways.It can be said that as long as he can cross this small river and get into the cornfield, he can escape the police roundup no matter what.It seems that the difficulty of casting nets and rounding up the next step will be very great.The greatest hope is to count on the investigation and tracking of the Criminal Police Department.

"Collect the files of all those who escaped, mobilize all the internal monitoring of the detention center, and mobilize all the investigation and physical evidence materials we have now." Xiao Wentian said, "We need to see the next step, how we coordinate this case from an overall perspective."

Xiao Wentian, who got up early and had a high level of mental stress, was exhausted from the afternoon's survey work.Standing on the river bed, he staggered and nearly fell into the river, but was grabbed by Director Liu who had sharp eyesight and quick hands.

"Old Xiao, your health is critical, go back and rest quickly," Director Liu said.

"Rest? How can I rest in this situation?"

"We still have three months." Director Liu said, "Three months of continuous rotation, as long as the body is long, it will not be able to survive. Therefore, I think we need to have a division of labor so that we can use our resources reasonably. Body."

"You mean, the two of us stare at each other 24 hours a day?"

"As expected of an old partner." Director Liu smiled, "You can know everything I think. Well, I'm young, so today I'll watch first."

"No, the first day is the most important, I will come."

"Old leader, listen to me! You have a good rest, and you will have the strength to take over tomorrow."

At this moment, Xiao Wentian felt his head was groggy and his legs were trembling non-stop, knowing that his severe anxiety this day had directly caused his blood sugar to drop again.

"Alright then, you have worked hard." Xiao Wentian no longer declined.

At first, he knew that he couldn't hold on.Secondly, he also has a strong backing - Fu Yuanman.He thought, tonight, he can have a good chat with his old Taishan. After all, this old man in his 70s has worked in special criminal investigation positions for 50 years.

What kind of weird things have you never seen?What kind of vicious person has never been caught?With the assistance of Lao Taishan, he should be able to figure out a way of thinking, cut through the mess quickly, clear up the current chaotic situation, and provide prerequisites for the next step to break down one by one.

Thinking of this, his confidence seemed to increase a lot. He pointed out the car window and said to the driver, "Hurry up, No. 28 Huanghe Road, Huanghe Yu'an Community."

The car went around all the way, and soon arrived at Fu Yuanman's house, but it was the mother-in-law who opened the door.

"Mom, where's Dad?"

"Your father went to your house, haven't you seen him?"

"Oh, I didn't come home. When did he come to my house?"

"Haha, don't you know him as a dead old man? Thinking about grandson means thinking about grandson, and he is still stubborn. Tell me that you have a big case, and you need to help you."

"Maybe Dad is really here to help me." Xiao Wentian felt grateful, "I won't tell you anymore, Mom, I have to go back to see Dad."

"Looks like your dad won't be coming home tonight!"

"Anyway, I have a room for you and Dad at home." Xiao Wentian said, "It's also possible. I'm going to have a long talk with Dad tonight."

"Take it easy! Your father is 73!"

"Got it, Mom!"
