Riverside police

In the dead of winter, the river wind was howling, and the water splashing on the deck was frozen. It felt bone-chilling to stand on a construction ship with no buildings around to block the wind.

Construction workers on the shore and on the ship gathered together, using lights to watch the police officers at the water law enforcement base, whispering to each other. Leaving one's hometown to work on projects is inherently boring, and working on a river is even more boring. Finding a human arm in the river is such a big deal, so they naturally won't miss this opportunity to watch the excitement.

The three construction workers who first discovered and helped to salvage the arm looked horrified and hesitated to speak.

Han Yu squatted on the deck and carefully observed the arm for a while. With a heavy heart, he stood up and ordered: "Old Zheng, contact the Gaoru, Binjiang, and Dongqi police stations and the Lingtao Qidu Police Station to ask them to They immediately organized forces to search and salvage the corpses that might have drifted into their jurisdiction!"

"Yes!" Zheng, the deputy director of the Linghai Police Station of the Changhang Branch who is stationed at the Yangtze River Bridge Water Law Enforcement Base, did not dare to delay for a moment and hurriedly walked to the side and took out his mobile phone to make a call.

"Xiao Xu, contact Jiang Zhi quickly and ask Jiang Zhi to organize the criminal police to appear at the scene immediately."

"Yes, I'll contact you immediately!" After graduating from the police academy, he was assigned to the Binjiang Branch for three and a half years. Finally, he encountered a major case. Xiao Xu was extremely excited.

Han Yu didn't know and couldn't care about what the young subordinate was thinking, so he turned around and said: "Bureau Han, please contact the traffic control center and ask the traffic control center to urgently notify passing ships passing by the Binjiang waters to pay attention to the possibility of corpses on the river. ”

When others call "Han Bureau", Han Xiangning knows that they are calling him.

The junior called "Han Bureau", Han Xiangning didn't react for a while, until Director Qin reminded him, he quickly said: "Okay, no problem."

"Bureau Luo, the Binjiang waters are not only the jurisdiction of our Changhang Branch, but also the jurisdiction of your Water Branch! Please report to the horse bureau immediately, and also report to the city bureau as soon as possible. It is best to ask the city bureau's criminal police to come out to the scene. You guys The city bureau has a DNA bank. This arm has become corrupted. It may be difficult to extract fingerprints, but DNA should be able to be extracted. "

"Understood." From the moment he saw his arm, Luo Wenjiang realized that he would not be able to spend the upcoming Spring Festival peacefully.

"Uncle Qin, police information is an order. I will not accompany you. I will commandeer a few traffic boats and organize forces to search and salvage on the river."

"It's okay, you are busy with your business, solving the case is important!"

The Yangtze River Bridge construction site has the advantages of the Yangtze River Bridge construction site, at least there are more people and more ships.

Although Han Yu was not a professional in criminal investigation, he was very aware of the importance of the "golden twenty-four hours". He did not want to accompany Comrade Lao Qin anymore and immediately organized personnel to search the river.

Han Xiangning also had no time to spare. He first contacted the Traffic Control Center of the Binjiang Maritime Safety Bureau, and then contacted the Brothers Maritime Safety Bureau and Brothers Maritime Affairs Office on the other side of the river. After arranging everything, he accompanied Director Qin back to the public security barge.

Lao Qin had served as a leading cadre for so many years and knew the importance of maintaining the prestige of his subordinates at critical moments. He had always had doubts before, until he walked into the command and dispatch room of the public security barge and couldn't help but ask: "Ning Ning, just because I found a broken arm Isn’t it too arbitrary for Xianyu to just assume it’s a murder case and investigate it as a murder case?”

Han Xiangning did not expect that he would ask this question. He turned on the air conditioner and explained: "All kinds of work-related accidents often happen on the river, especially on ships. Not to mention broken arms and legs, there are also people who are shattered into pieces. Some people were caught in the anchor chain during anchoring operations. , some were cut into two pieces by broken cables, and some were crushed by ship propellers after falling into the water. Anyone who works on the river has seen these wounds more or less.

One look at the broken arm just now showed that it was not caused by a work accident. It is impossible for a normal person to chop off his own arm and throw it into the river, and it is equally impossible to chop off other people's arms and throw them into the river. There is only one possibility, and that is to kill and dismember the body. "

Lao Qin thought about the severed arm he saw just now, and suddenly realized: "So it's really a murder!"

"Human life is at stake, and the murder case must be solved. Xianyu is busy."

"No way, who asked him to do this job? Ning Ning, you have to support his work."

"I definitely support it, but I don't support him being the deputy director in charge of the Changhang Branch?"

"That's true."

…

At 21:16, the main responsible persons of the Criminal Police Detachment of the Changhang Branch, the Criminal Police Detachment of the Municipal Bureau, the Shuishang Branch and the Linghai Public Security Bureau rushed to the riverside one after another.

The bridge construction site was under construction day and night and was already brightly lit. With the arrival of so many police cars, the flashing police lights added a tense atmosphere to the riverside.

The shore was not the place to study the case, so everyone temporarily borrowed the public security barge from the water law enforcement base. Han Xiangning gave up his office space and moved it to the large barge.

As long as the case occurs on the river, the jurisdiction is not as clear as on the shore.

Who is the primary and who is secondary can only depend on the administrative position and administrative level for the time being.

Here are Han Yu, Jiang Zhi and deputy detachment leader Liu Guixiang from the Changhang Branch. The two deputy captains from the Municipal Bureau's Criminal Police Detachment are not very high-ranking but have very aloof status.

One is Cheng Wenming, a legend in the Binjiang Public Security System, who once "rided thousands of miles alone" to track down clues to a murder case and risked his own life to save his colleagues when a detonator exploded. One is a student of "Korean Strike" and the deputy captain of the technical brigade who graduated from the OU University.

The Water Branch is Director Ma Jintao and Deputy Director Luo Wenjiang.

The Yangtze River Bridge was built in Changzhou, and Lao Yang, the deputy director in charge of criminal investigation of the Changzhou Public Security Bureau, also hurriedly arrived.

Cheng Wenming has a resounding nickname called "Crazy Cheng", but he can't go crazy now. He was seriously injured while investigating an explosion, and his life was saved. It is said that when the doctor diagnosed him that he could only stay in bed for the rest of his life, he actually stood up again with strong perseverance. Although he was limping, it was a miracle.

Logically speaking, such a comrade should rest peacefully at home, but he insisted on working and even came here in the middle of the night.

The comrades at the water law enforcement base all respected him. They wanted to help him when they got on the boat and wanted to carry him on their backs when they went upstairs. However, he refused. It can be seen that he does not want to be regarded as a disabled person, does not want to receive too much attention, and does not want to be pitied.

Han Yu also admired such a hero from the bottom of his heart and asked with a smile: "Cheng Da, you are specialized in the art, and you are the most professional in detecting major and important cases. What do you think of this case?"

"Bureau Han, you are the deputy director in charge of the Changhang Branch. You are the most senior official here! The broken arm was also discovered by your branch. This case must be dominated by your branch. Besides, I only glanced at the broken arm a few times. I don’t have any other clues, let alone the fact that I’m not qualified to speak in front of the leaders, even if I were asked, I wouldn’t be able to tell you one, two, three or four.”

"Crazy Cheng" put out his cigarette butts, opened his notebook and prepared to take notes, pretending to be making soy sauce.

Han Yu had heard Ma Jintao, Luo Wenjiang and Jiang Zhi mention him more than once. He knew that this living first-class hero model had more personality, otherwise he would never have said the words "Your official is the biggest here", but Han Yu did not feel embarrassed. It's offensive, but it feels very friendly.

The master had the same personality back then, and the master's personality was much stronger than that of Madman Cheng. Besides, there is no one in the older generation who has no personality, such as "Old Marshal" or "Chiang Kai-shek". Even Wu Renguang, the former deputy director of Linghai Public Security Bureau, dared to slap the table with the director.

It's a bit ironic when you think about it. Back then, having a personality was the norm, and "Blind Wang" who had no personality was an anomaly. Now, on the contrary, cadres with the "blind king" style are the norm, while cadres with individual personalities have become an anomaly.

Han Yuzheng was secretly sighing, and the deputy director of the Changzhou Public Security Bureau, Lao Yang, said coldly: "Bureau Han, you take charge. We listen to you. If you need us to cooperate with you, just give us orders."

"Director Yang, this is probably a murder case with extremely negative consequences!"

"The same goes for murder cases. Jiang Shang's case was originally under the jurisdiction of your branch."

As long as it is a hot potato, push it out whenever there is an opportunity. All this is so familiar.

Han Yu was completely convinced and said helplessly: "Everyone, if I could have discussed the issue of jurisdiction with you a few years ago, now that the superiors have clarified the cross-regional jurisdiction of our Changhang Public Security Bureau over Jiangshang's public security, I would like to discuss it with you." You can’t even do Tai Chi.”

"Director Han, what are you talking about? Our Secretary Liu told us before coming here that we need our full cooperation and assistance! As long as our place is needed, you can speak up."

Now is different from before, there is really no way to argue.

Han Yu could only express his gratitude, and then asked Jiang Zhi to express his opinion first.

"Reporting to all leaders, I just looked at the severed arm with Tang Da and the forensic doctors brought by Tang Da. Through preliminary examination, Tang Da and the forensic doctors agreed that the severed arm belonged to a woman between the ages of 20 and 35. Because there is no For other body tissues, the term "time of death" is not appropriate, and only preliminary analysis shows that the time of arm amputation is more than 48 hours."

"That's all?" Han Yu asked in a low voice.

"Oh, by the way, what we found was a left arm!"

"Isn't this nonsense? The arms are just outside. Can I tell whether they are the left arm or the right arm?"

The immediate boss was unhappy, and Jiang Zhi was embarrassed and said with a grimace: "Han Bureau, there are too few clues..."

The words used by his old colleagues and subordinates were very rigorous and his speeches were very tactful. How could Han Yu not understand the implication of his words? He was silent for a moment and said meaningfully: "Everyone, I think it's not that there are too few clues, but that our ideas are too big." many!"

"Han Bureau, what do you mean by this?"

"Only a left arm was found, and no right arm was found. No other human tissue was found. And this is the Yangtze River. The possibility of other discoveries is very slim. It is completely unnecessary to open a case. It is so troublesome to open a case and investigate. Just investigate the identity of the victim. It's very difficult. No matter what happens, just ignore everything. Not only will it not be good for the New Year, it will even affect the crime detection rate, and solving the case will cost a lot of money. Where does the money come from? Why don't you just pretend that nothing happened? The broken arm is taken care of, and everyone goes home happily to celebrate the New Year.”

"Han Bureau, that's not what I meant." Lao Jiang said this, but did not dare to look at Han Yu.

"Crazy Cheng" was surprised. He raised his head and looked at Han Yu, his eyes were completely different from before.

In fact, he had heard of "Admiral Binjiang Navy" more than once, but he always felt that the name was not worthy of the name, and it might even be a propaganda. In short, he is not very fond of these "star leaders". "Korean Strike" is also famous, but in his opinion, "Han Strike" is just like that except for having higher academic qualifications and being a better person.

There are many leaders who are afraid of things and take responsibility. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be many cases that “can’t be solved or established”.

"Crazy Cheng" didn't expect that "Admiral Binjiang Navy" was not only not afraid of trouble, but also talked about Chiang Kai-shek unceremoniously in front of outsiders like them. He felt that tonight was not in vain, so he couldn't help but said: "Everyone, although we now have There aren’t many clues, but there are some clues from the broken arm.”

"Cheng Da, please talk first."

"OK."

"First of all, judging from the wound, the woman's left arm was not severed in a work-related accident. There are four obvious, continuous sharp injuries on the arm." Cheng Wenming was afraid that everyone would not have a direct impression, so he gestured and said coldly: "Everyone has gone to the vegetable market to buy meat, and you must have seen how people cut bones. The broken arm outside was cut off by someone using a knife like me!"

The immediate boss was determined to investigate, and Jiang Zhi could not object, so he hurriedly said: "The machete used by the suspect was very sharp. Because of the sharpness, the blade was very brittle. In one of the wounds on the arm bone, Tang Da and I found a small piece of metal left after the blade was broken, which means that the suspect's machete left a gap when he cut the woman's arm."

"That's right, people do, God sees! What do we do? We are police officers. Since we wear this police uniform, we can't be afraid of trouble. If we don't do anything, who will seek justice for the deceased?" Han Yu nodded with satisfaction, taking notes while motioning everyone to continue.
