Chapter 42 Death of accomplice (1)
No.60 Chapter [-] The Death of Achang

After May 2009, the subtropical Yangtze City has been extremely hot. There is a seaside resort called Changhuan to the east of the city, 5 kilometers away from the city. It has unique scenery, including the sea, beaches, islands, mountain peaks, and seashores. The various forest landscapes echo each other, majestic, beautiful and magical.

The beach is located in the inland sea. The wide beach has gentle slopes and stretches for more than ten miles. It is the most ideal summer resort for citizens. Every weekend and holiday, it is crowded with tourists, who are intoxicated in the dreamy sea.

Today is the weekend. Jiang Yiming came to Changhuan Resort at the invitation of Li Yan. Li Yan envied the people surfing and playing in the sea, so she wanted to go into the sea with Jiang Yiming. But Li Yan couldn't swim, so she had to rent a lifebuoy and lie on it. Jiang Yiming pushed upstream on the sea.

The blue sky is like washing, the white sails are like snow, the green mountains are like black daisy, the gentle breeze is gently lapping the waves, and the sea water is gently kissing Li Yan's jade-like skin. There is a man beside her that she admires. The beautiful scenery, talented people and beautiful women, Li Yan feels like a dream Just as magnificent, she closed her eyes comfortably and let the wings of her dreams fly freely in the blue sky and sea...

Li Yan originally lay on the lifebuoy and was swimming backstroke. After a while, she wanted to change to the breaststroke position. When she turned over, the lifebuoy lost its balance. Suddenly, a large wave rushed toward Li Yan and overturned Li Yan's lifebuoy. Yan was caught off guard and fell into the sea with a "Ah" sound and quickly sank into the water. Jiang Yiming was more than two meters away from Li Yan. When he saw Li Yan falling into the water, he was stunned for a moment and then plunged into the sea to look for Li Yan. Unexpectedly, By 10 seconds, he caught Li Yan who was struggling desperately in the water. Jiang Yiming pulled her out of the water, but Li Yan was struggling, making Jiang Yiming's rescue very laborious. He grabbed her hand tightly and tried his best. They swam towards the beach. Fortunately, they were not far from the beach and soon pulled Li Yan onto the beach.

Jiang Yiming pressed Li Yan's belly on his knees so that she could spit out the water in her stomach. After Li Yan vomited more than a dozen mouthfuls of sea water, her face turned pale and she was in shock. She threw herself into Jiang Yiming's arms and held her tightly. He seemed to lose his life as soon as he left his arms. Jiang Yiming was at a loss, but he couldn't help but hug Li Yan in his arms. He gently patted her shoulders and comforted her and said: "Okay, don't Afraid, a false alarm, everything will be over..."

Li Yan slowly recovered from the shock and left Jiang Yiming's arms. She was a little embarrassed, but she had no regrets. She put her hand in his palm, spread her fingers apart, and interlocked with his. Jiang Yiming was a little hesitant. But he couldn't refuse, so he gently held her hand and walked towards the silent and deserted depths of the beach...

Jiang Yiming returned to the fresh water shower room, rinsed himself, put on his clothes, and subconsciously took out his cell phone to check. There were two missed calls: one from Wu Jiang; one from Director Wang.He thought there must be something going on in the team, otherwise Director Wang would not disturb him on Sunday. He pressed the callback button and got through Director Wang. Director Wang asked: "Captain Jiang, where are you?"

"I'm sorry, Director Wang, I was swimming at Changhuan Beach just now. Is there something wrong?"

"You kid, no wonder you didn't answer my call. Warden Ye of the No. [-] Prison in the city called and said that a reform-through-labor prisoner named Achang drowned in their prison. The prison guard said that Achang's death was accidental, but Achang's father disagreed with the prison guard's statement. In order to give a fair statement to the family of the deceased, Warden Ye asked us to go to the scene to investigate, so hurry up now, Zuo Li and Wu Jiang have already gone there first."

"Okay, I'll go." After Jiang Yiming hung up the phone, seeing that Li Yan hadn't come out of the bathroom yet, he called the phone. The phone rang for a long time before Li Yan picked up.He asked: "Li Yan, are you okay? Come out quickly."

"I was putting on makeup and came out." Li Yan came out five minutes later and asked, "What's the matter? You're so anxious?"

"If you want to leave the scene, you will be sent to the No. [-] City Prison."

Li Yan showed a hint of disappointment and said, "Brother Jiang, I thought I could watch the sunset and sunrise with you at the beach today!"

Jiang Yiming smiled apologetically and said, "Next time, there will be a chance."

Li Yan shook her hair, smiled, and didn't answer him. She started the car, increased the accelerator, and the car shot out like an arrow.The Second Municipal Prison is located in the northeast of Yangtze City, at the foot of Lianhua Mountain. It is closer from Changhuan Resort than from Yangtze City. An hour later, they arrived. Jiang Yiming and Li Yan said goodbye and walked in quickly. When she entered the prison gate and watched his fleeting figure, Li Yan felt a little melancholy in her heart.

The deceased's name was Jing Chengchang, and everyone called him Achang. He was 34 years old and lived in a small town in the northernmost part of the province. He had been jailed for 8 years and would be released in two years. During the period of reform through labor, his performance was Not bad, so he is expected to have his sentence reduced and may be released home within this year.

According to inmate Zhu San, the temperature at noon today reached 36 degrees. Achang felt extremely hot and wanted to take a bath in the river. He asked Zhu San to accompany him. Zhu San accompanied Achang to the river outside the labor camp to swim because Zhu San San's water quality was not good, so he lay down under a big banyan tree to rest.

Soon Zhu San went to bed. When he woke up, it was almost 3 o'clock, because they had to return to the team to work at 3 o'clock. Zhu San hurried to the river to find Achang, but there was no one on the river quietly. Achang's clothes It was still placed under the banyan tree. At that time, Zhu San thought: Could he have escaped from prison?But then I thought it was impossible. Who could be so stupid?He was about to be released after serving his sentence. How could Achang take that risk?
Zhu San suddenly had an ominous premonition: something might have happened to Achang. He searched along the river bank for nearly a mile, but there was no trace of Achang. Zhu San quickly went back to the team to call for help. More than 30 prisoners and prison guards were divided into two groups. One group went upstream and the other went downstream to search carefully. As a result, they found Achang's body under the downstream dam.

Achang's body was placed on the river beach. His belly was swollen with water like a pregnant woman who was eight or nine months pregnant. A group of flies were buzzing around above it.Zhu San and Achang were childhood friends. He said that Achang's water quality was very good. He could swim to the anti-shark net in the sea and then swim back to the beach. How could he capsize in the gutter?Could cramps in his hands and feet have caused him to drown?Jiang Yiming asked someone to transport Achang's body back to the team for an autopsy to determine the cause of Achang's death.

No.60 Section [-] Suspected Homicide
The autopsy results showed that no toxic chemicals were found in Achang's body, indicating that Achang was not murdered but died by accidental drowning.Jiang Yiming faxed the autopsy report to Warden Ye of the City's Second Prison. Warden Ye breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay now. It's useless for the family of the deceased to continue making trouble."

The next day Jiang Yiming went to work and was called to the director's office by Director Wang. Sitting in the office was an old man of about 60 years old. From his clothes and weather-beaten face, he looked like a farmer. When he saw Jiang Yiming, the expression on his face immediately changed. It becomes complicated, with uneasiness, timidity, and resentment, but mostly disdain.Director Wang introduced: "Captain Jiang, this is Achang's father. He came to my office early in the morning. He did not believe that Achang died of accidental drowning. He must have committed suicide. He asked us to open a case for investigation. You are responsible for this case. You take him there." Please discuss it in detail in your office." Director Wang turned to Achang's father and said, "Uncle Jing, don't worry, Captain Jiang is the best criminal policeman in our bureau. If it was a homicide, he will definitely get to the bottom of the case to appease Achang's innocent soul. .”

"Thank you, thank you, you are really our good director..." Uncle Jing held Director Wang tightly with both hands, and tears of gratitude overflowed from his eyes.

Uncle Jing followed Jiang Yiming to his office. Jiang Yiming made a cup of hot tea and handed it to him and said, "Uncle Jing, I never drink tea. This tea belongs to someone else. It has been here for a long time. Is it spoiled? You first Take a sip, and if it breaks, I’ll replace it for you.”

Uncle Jing was flattered, and his confrontational attitude eased a lot. He held the teacup in both hands, took a sip of tea and said, "It's not broken, it's not broken. It's very fragrant and delicious."

"Uncle Jing, you said Achang committed suicide. Can you tell me why?"

"First, my son looks like a fish in the water. Have you ever heard of fish drowning in water? In 1992, our county held a sports meeting, and my son won No. 5000 in the 1-meter swimming competition; second, I The night before my son died, I dreamed that he was drowned. He told me in the dream that he had been murdered. At that time, I thought the dream was very ridiculous. No matter how my son died, he could not be drowned. Captain Jiang , don’t laugh. When my son was young, I was working in the fields, far away from home. Suddenly I heard my son crying. I thought I heard wrongly. I stopped what I was doing and listened carefully. It was nothing. But as soon as I started working, my son's cry came again. I felt something was wrong, so I ran home immediately. When I saw it, I was so frightened that I couldn't speak. It turned out that a hungry wolf was holding my infant son in its mouth. I ran slowly towards the back hill, my lungs were so angry that I picked up the mortar on the wall and fired it into the air. The hungry wolf was so frightened that he quickly left my son and ran away. My son and I have an efficacious effect, my son is sure He was killed by someone, Captain Jiang, you have to avenge my son -" Uncle Jing's eyes shone with pitiful tears.

"Uncle Jing, the first point you said makes sense. I don't agree with the second point. However, based on the first point you said, we can open a case for investigation. Please wait patiently and we will definitely give you a true answer. Don't worry. Come on, okay?" Uncle Jing grabbed Jiang Yiming's hands tremblingly, kowtowed to him repeatedly, and almost didn't kneel to him.
