"Dead by snake venom?" Zhou Botao asked in disbelief, holding the autopsy report.
"Yes, it's a snake bite." Su Wan sat on the big sofa, crossed her legs, one foot was bare, and the other put the shoe on the big toe, and said in a jittery voice, "Although I
There is no way to detect snake venom, but from all the signs, it should be a bungara snake."
"So there are snakes in the police station?!" Wu Mu said and subconsciously looked around the office.
The ecological environment of this time and space is naturally excellent, and there are many cases where people and animals live in harmony. Various snakes are not uncommon in the city of Guangzhou in the south, especially the various yamen they occupy after entering the city, most of which are hundreds of years old.
The old house is infested with snakes and insects. However, since Liu San installed smokers everywhere, they are rarely seen anymore.
"I wasn't bitten in the police station," Su Wan said. "There was a long process from being bitten to the onset of the poison. Wang Dong only entered the police station for a few minutes. He couldn't have been bitten in the police station."
"Is that on the road?"
"Someone killed him before we could." Zhou Botao threw a cigar to Su Wan and lit one himself. "It seems that Wang Xiaoniao has quite a few secrets."
"He was bitten by a snake, but he didn't know it? He was on his way to the brothel when he was arrested - shouldn't he go to a doctor immediately if he is bitten by a snake?" Wu Mu found it incredible.
"The bungara snake is different," Su Wan said. "The bite is shallow, the pain is not strong, and there are no obvious scars. People tend to ignore it, and when it attacks, it is hopeless."
"Someone had a bungara snake hidden in his body and killed Wang Dong?"
"I'm afraid that's the case." Zhou Botao said, "The mage we are arresting is from Yunnan and Guizhou - there are many snakes and insects in the mountainous area - and he has a strong background in witchcraft. This murderer is probably the fugitive Wu Zhiqi."
Since Wang Dong was most likely killed by Wu Zhiqi, he should have met Wu Zhiqi shortly before his arrest. Zhou Botao marked the location where Wang Dong was arrested on the map. Then based on the information provided by the police
The time of capture and death roughly marked his possible range of activities from the time he was bitten to the time he was captured.
"This range is not small." Zhou Botao studied the map carefully.
Wu Mu was more familiar with the situation in Guangzhou than Zhou Botao. He looked at it and said: "The place where he was arrested is close to Beicheng - I think Wu Zhiqi is probably hiding somewhere outside the Dabei Gate."
The outside of Dabeimen is sparsely populated and deserted. There are many ancestral halls and coffin shops. There are buildings with more dead people than living people everywhere. There is also a very large floating population. A large number of Guandi Temple people live in this area. Guangzhou City
The government's control over that area is very weak, and the Baojia system has not yet been fully established. It can be said that Wu Zhiqi is quite safe hiding there - and he can enter and exit the city at any time.
"We can focus our investigation there." Although Zhou Botao has never been a police officer, he knows that it is already very good to narrow down the investigation scope to this point.
"But the area outside the Great North Gate is large enough." Wu Mu knew that they had searched that area several times. Because the area was too large and they lacked strong intelligence support, they found nothing after several searches.
"There is a clue you can refer to," Su Wan interjected. "There are remains of lotus root slices in the stomach of the deceased - this thing cannot be preserved for a long time. It must have been freshly picked not long ago. If his last meal before death was...
If you eat it at that place where Wu Zhiqi is hiding, then there must be rivers or lakes around it."
Wu Mu's eyes fell on the map and said: "Liuhua Bridge..."
Li Ziyu has been busy handling handovers these days. He had just finished eating at noon that day, and as soon as he entered the door of the Public Security Department, he was called to him by the section chief.
"Xiao Li, you go home first and tidy up. At five o'clock in the afternoon, go to the backyard playground of the police station to report and gather. In the evening, there will be a centralized operation to improve public security in the city. After the task is completed, you go directly to Lingao in the evening. Don't worry about other things.
arranged."
Li Ziyu had no choice but to go home and notify her parents. She returned to the police station at 4:30 p.m. and immediately went to the backyard playground. The original backyard garden was converted into a playground. The moon gate in the past was still retained, but the pavilions, pavilions, and rockeries inside were still there.
All the flowers and trees were eradicated, and the river ponds were filled in, leaving only an empty flat land.
Normally there is no guard at the entrance to the playground, but today there were two people wearing black police uniforms with blue collars and blue hatbands guarding the Moon Gate. They had to check their credentials when entering or leaving.
It was Li Ziyu's turn to check the certificate. Not only did he double-check his photo, he also checked a list on the board clip - obviously only those on the list could enter the playground.
Li Ziyu felt an inexplicable sense of tension in his heart. He suddenly realized that today's action was not a city-wide public security improvement at all, but a particularly important special action.
After checking his ID, Li Ziyu entered the playground. As soon as he entered the playground, he was shocked. The playground was densely packed with people, a total of 200 people, all lined up. At this time, he saw Gao Chongjiu
While waving to him, Li Ziyu saw an acquaintance and hurriedly walked over. Unconsciously, she lowered her voice and said, "Master Jiu, are you here too?"
"Shh. Keep your voice down and stand next to me." Gao Chongjiu glanced at the person next to him, and a seat became available next to him. Li Ziyu quietly stood over.
"Master Jiu, is there a big case? I don't think it looks like you are going to improve public security..." Li Ziyu looked around and saw that most of the people around him had familiar faces. They were all people from the bureau. Some of them he knew were high-ranking officials in the past.
Chongjiu used a "brother" - Bai Shen Yamen, who was specially recruited this time.
"That's just an excuse." Gao Chongjiu knew that Australians attach great importance to confidentiality and would never tell anyone casually until the critical moment. He spoke in a very strict tone, which was different from the past yamen. "I think it is very likely that we will reveal the matter later.
case."
"Didn't you say that everyone was caught? The brothers in the interrogation department are as tired as dead dogs."
"I heard that the person behind the scenes has not been arrested. I think this time there is such a big battle, there is a high probability that we are going to arrest the person behind the scenes."
"Such a big battle!" Li Ziyu was secretly surprised, what a powerful figure the mastermind behind this was.
"I heard," Gao Chongjiu lowered his voice to almost a whisper, "the person behind this is capable of sorcery..."
This startled Li Ziyu, and he couldn't help but said nervously: "Monster!?..." Suddenly he realized that he spoke too loudly, and quickly lowered his voice, "Magic? This is no joke."
"You don't have to be afraid even if there are sorcery," Gao Chongjiu said nonchalantly, "Since ancient times, no sorcery can deal with official titles and imperial titles. Besides, the leader is naturally prepared with evil things to destroy evil."
"But I didn't see anyone taking the toilet all the way in..."
"Maybe it's a woman's confinement cloth." Gao Chongjiu said, "You don't have to worry about this. Look at how many people the chief has mobilized. Let me tell you: Look, here are our brothers, and over there is North Korea.
The people’s White Horse Team; over there is the Japanese pirates’ Ba Dao Team, and the National Army…”
Li Ziyu kept looking around. The entire playground was packed with people. The White Horse Team, the Saber Team, the National Army Anti-Riot Team... were piled up piece by piece like tofu. Because the uniforms were different at night, they could be seen clearly. He was tall and heavy.
Jiu touched Li Ziyu with his elbow and asked softly: "Boy, what did you see?"
"Well, there are fifty or sixty people from the White Horse Team and Ba Dao Team, and thirty or forty people from the National Army, and there are more than fifty of us. Huh? No, these people don't seem to be police." Li Ziyu looked back.
It seems that the policemen here are all standing loosely, biting each other's ears and looking around.
Although the more than twenty people over there were also wearing police uniforms, they were all wearing the same blue collar badges as the people standing guard in front of the Moon Cave Gate. They stood upright without moving, and they didn't even make a sound.
"This queue, this momentum, tsk tsk tsk." Li Ziyu said, "There is nothing like this in our bureau."
At this time, a few more police officers came and entered the queue. Gao Chongjiu coughed heavily and glared at them, and then they found a seat in the back row in a polite manner.
"Ayu, this is the Tiger and Wolf Master. With this momentum, how can the Ming Dynasty compare?" Gao Zhongjiu pursed his lips and said, "These people, I think these people may be the Jin Yiwei of the Song Dynasty."
"Ah?!" Li Ziyu almost screamed, and then he carefully observed the men in black standing motionless like sculptures. Although their uniforms were the same as those of the police except for their hatbands and collar badges, they
The armed belts were neatly tied, with their legs spread apart and their hands behind their backs, their faces expressionless and majestic.
"Look, these people have expressionless faces, but their eyes are cold and sharp. They are all...well, strict and calm people, but they are different from the arrogance of the factory guards." Gao Chongjiu said.
"Stop talking, don't move, and stand still." A female police officer came over, glanced at the police officers, and nodded: "Yes, everyone is here." After saying that, she stood at the front of the row. She
He turned to the police and said: "I am leading the team today. No need to ask any questions about what I am doing. Just follow the orders - don't worry, we are only responsible for leading the way and attacking."
"Section Chief, who are those people with blue-collar badges? Why are they so majestic?" Li Ziyu couldn't help but asked curiously.
"They..." After saying this, Lian Changyi's face couldn't help but twitch, and he turned his head and stopped talking.
Li Ziyu and Gao Chongjiu looked at each other, as if they had noticed something in each other's eyes, and there was a cold feeling behind their backs. They had now heard that Lian Changyi was Mu Ju's confidant, and this person was Mu Ju's confidant.
The female police officer specially brought in from Lingao by Bureau Mu actually became very angry when she talked about it, which made them even more sure of the fact that the man in black was the Jin Yiwei. (To be continued.).
