Criminal Investigation Notes
Chapter 34
Everything around him is hazy. Song Wen's eyes are a dark corridor. At the end of the corridor, a door is open. From the door, there is a slight air-conditioning, like an entrance to hell.The light in the door was on. It was a kind of crippling light. He walked forward step by step, as if he knew what was going to happen next, but he couldn't stop his footsteps or stop himself. Hands.
It was raining outside. He heard the sound of rain and thunder. The sound came from far and near, like drumsticks hitting the ground hard, and the sky and the earth were bursting apart because of the thunder. Song Wen almost suspected that a flash of lightning struck not far away.
In his memory, in the depths of his reason, Song Wen felt that this incident had happened, and everything was like a nightmare repeated countless times before... The door opened, and in front of him were several rotting corpses, in the air It was a heavy smell of blood, which was disgusting. Those corpses looked at him with their eyes open, and seemed to sit up at any time...
It's that dream again.
Song Wen opened his eyes abruptly, the curtains were not tightened, and a ray of sunlight came in from the gap.Without this nightmare, it would be an ordinary morning.Song Wen lay down and turned over. His heartbeat gradually returned to normal. He sat up from the bed, rubbed his eyes, and gradually became sober.
Song Wen never knew whether his life would be different if he hadn't opened the door back then.This incident has had some impact on him so far. He doesn't like small and dark rooms, elevators, or basements. As long as he walks in, his body will repel instinctively, his heartbeat will speed up, and his breathing will not be smooth. It was a sense of loss of control that disgusted him.
That happened when he was seven years old, when his family lived in Nancheng.Ten years ago, Nancheng was completely different from now. People’s clothes are plain and the Internet is not so developed. Apple’s mobile phones have just begun to spread. Only a small area in the center of the city is prosperous. The roads are disorderly and complicated. The subway has not yet been constructed. The old drainage system has long been in disrepair, and every time it rains, half a city can be flooded.
The seven-year-old Song Wen, just like his nickname, is a year old that pigs and dogs hate. He is extremely skinny. He defeated the world's invincible in the big class and dominated the entire kindergarten. The teacher asked his parents to come over and talk, parents When he would come back, Song Cheng would hit the palm of his hand with a paddle ruler, and would never stop until he got swollen.
But Song Wen also had the same stubborn temper as his father. He specifically antagonized Song Cheng. The mistakes can be admitted. He resolutely did not correct the problem. There was even a bad problem of running away from home. Song Cheng was so angry that Song Cheng drove a police car for private use. Looking for son all over the street.In the police station, Song Cheng is also a well-respected detachment leader. He straightened out dozens of monkey cubs, but he has been ruled by his own son every time.
Under such circumstances, Li Luanfang and Song Cheng had already reported Song Wen the name of the elementary school they were going to attend, and they only waited for him to go to school as soon as September arrived, so as to escape the pain of watching bear children.
It was a weekend in May. Suddenly a critically ill patient who suffered a car accident came to Li Luanfang's hospital. Several interns were afraid to perform surgery. She answered the phone at 4:30 in the afternoon and went out.
No one was cooking dinner, the father and the son stared at each other with big eyes. At six o'clock, Song Cheng took Song Wen out for a tooth sacrifice.
Song Wen still remembers that he had steamed buns with tomato and egg soup that night. The steamed buns were a lot of meat, but they were very salty. So Song Wen drank two more bowls of soup, but Song Cheng loved it. After that, I packed a few breakfasts for tomorrow. Just as the two drove home, Song Cheng suddenly received a call from the police station.
Song Wen didn't hear what the phone call specifically said. He just remembered that Song Cheng's face was particularly solemn at that time and explained to him: "When Dad will take you to a place, you must not run around." He turned the front of the car and drove in the opposite direction from home.
The rain outside the car was getting heavier and heavier. The tires slid across the road and kept humming. The water in a few places had passed the tires. The car was driving in the thick water, like a boat. Divide by.
Song Wen didn't know what happened, but he could see that his father's expression was extraordinarily serious. The car drove all the way to the outskirts of the city, and finally stopped in front of a dilapidated small building.In the sound of rain, Song Cheng comforted him a few words, put him in the car, and ran in in the rain.
After Song Cheng walked for two minutes, Song Wen regretted it. On this rainy night with black lights and blind flames, the car windows were dark and dark, and the sound of the rain seemed to hear the cry of beasts.For a boy who is only seven years old, it is horrible to be alone in a car. From time to time, lightning flashes in the sky, and then there is muffled thunder.
"Dad...Where are you?" Young Song Wen became more and more frightened. He opened the car door and dared to brave the rain and ran into the small building. The floor of the living room of the small building was covered with dust and dark red. Traces, various lines are drawn on the ground, and a person in a police uniform is talking seriously, no one is paying attention to him.
Song Wen couldn’t find Song Cheng’s figure anywhere. He kept walking in and down a staircase to the ground. It was an old basement with rough walls and water seepage, dust and cobwebs everywhere. I know how many years there is no one to take care of it. There is a room with a light on and the voltage is unstable. Sometimes the filament will suddenly become dim, and sometimes it will be exceptionally bright.Song Wen was scared again, and curiously leaned over...
Rain was rushing in the sky, thunder was constantly thundering outside, and the air was flashing, and the mottled shadows of trees were reflected on the walls, like ghost paintings in Liao Zhai.The door was hidden and not closed. Song Wen opened the door and saw the scene in his dream...
Song Wen was frightened that day. He was drenched in the rain and was sent to the hospital. Later, he had a high fever for a long time, and he was discharged and returned home after the fever subsided.The memory that followed was vague, only that during that time, Li Luanfang quarreled with Song Cheng every day because of this.Song Wen could hear them arguing in the living room every time he woke up.
"How did you become a father? How can you take your child to the crime scene? If you don't take him, there won't be such a thing!"
"Crying, crying, crying, you know crying, you can come back when you cry. For such a big case, the entire police station has passed. Can I not get there as soon as possible? And I told him not to run around, I How can you know it's such a coincidence?"
"Your responsibility is to blame the child. He was only seven years old. What did you know when he was seven? Seeing the murder scene is a lifetime shadow, and you drag him in! Why do you..."
Li Luanfang’s harsh voice was mixed with Song Cheng’s roar. After many rounds of arguing, there was always no difference between the winners and losers. His mother blamed his father for taking Song Wen to the crime scene, which was also the scene of a vicious case. His father blamed his mother for knowing him. He was busy at work and threw the child to him, not going home every day.
It’s said that the human brain selectively forgets things that they don’t want to remember, perhaps because of the continuous high fever. During that time, Song Wen has forgotten all the other things that Song Wen experienced. Even thinking of it will cause headaches, only those few things. The appearance of a corpse has been lingering when he dreamed back at midnight.
In order to keep Song Wen's mentality unaffected, Song Cheng also took him to see a psychologist several times, and what kind of so-called hypnotherapy, Song Wen passed by, answered some questions and then fell asleep.Song Cheng would also give him a bunch of pictures to look at and ask him various questions, but the more he asked, the more impatient Song Wen became, his mind was empty, and he couldn't think of anything.
That case seemed to involve a lot. After a while, strange people always appeared at home and nearby. Later, Song Cheng and Li Luanfang played a big game, and they divorced...
The news was like a sudden meteorite, smashing Song Wen who was only seven years old.Moreover, Song Cheng also revised the household registration and archives, applied for special protection to Song Wen's files, revised and sealed them, and among all the materials that could be found, Song Wen's father was his distant uncle Song Tao.When Song Wen saw Song Cheng, he could only call him uncle.Later Song Wen was sent to his grandmother's house to take care of him until he graduated from junior high school.
When he was young, Song Wen didn't know why this was. He was angry, complained, disappointed, cried, and made troubles. When he grew up, he could finally face all this calmly.
Later Song Wen learned that Song Cheng was dealing with an extremely dangerous case, the 519 project. He was afraid of injuring his family, so he made such an arrangement.There is a cabinet in my grandmother's home, which contains the documents of him and his mother, and there is also a suicide note written by Song Cheng, ready to be used at any time.
The 519 task force was established for a year, and then disbanded due to some reasons. The personnel at that time were dispatched to various places. Songcheng was transferred to the provincial bureau. After so many years, he has been promoted to the head of the provincial bureau.But from Song Wen’s point of view, he believes that Song Cheng has not fulfilled his father’s responsibilities and obligations. He hates Song Cheng from his heart, and he still doesn’t call his father too much. He counts the days he sees him every year with one hand. .
After Song Wen's high school, Song Cheng and Li Luanfang remarried, but Song Wen's household registration file was not restored for him, and it was still hung in the name of his distant uncle.
After Song Wen grew up, he deliberately confronted Song Cheng and embarked on the same road as his father. Until he graduated from the police academy, Song Wen did not hesitate to leave his father’s wings and return to his hometown in Nancheng. Song Wen came to Nancheng City Bureau to report At that time, Gu Ju was interviewing him. At that time, Gu Ju looked at his file and asked: "Oh, your surname is Song, and the director of the Provincial Bureau is also named Song. Do you know Song Ju?"
Song Wen shook his head: "I don't know. My father's name is Song Tao as written in the household registration book, and if my family knows the provincial chief, he won't start from the grassroots criminal police." He knows his household registration certificate and all relevant information is Song Cheng single-handedly changed it, the level of confidentiality was higher than Gu Ju, and it was impossible to find out through verification.
Gu Ju was right after thinking about it, and no longer doubted it.Let Director Song’s son work for three years under his own hands.The entire police station had no knowledge, and even now, few people knew this secret.
After becoming a criminal policeman, Song Wen has been entangled by that nightmare. He also wanted to know what happened that night and who were those people?Why did you die in that old building?He learned from the old criminal police that the 519 case was the most serious kidnapping and murder case in Nancheng in the past two decades. Three robbers kidnapped Nancheng’s richest man Ji’s couple at the time and asked for the password of the safe. , Took out 3.28 million cash and jewels, but the vicious robbers were not satisfied. They tied the hostages to the old building and continued torturing them, wanting them to tell more about the property.
No one knows what happened during that period. Just six days after the Ji family disappeared, someone anonymously called the police that traces of the culprits had been found in this suburban wood.What is strange is that after the police arrived, they found that the robber and the two victims died together in that old house. Judging by the degree of decay of the body, both the robber and the hostage died three days ago. Wing and fly.This case has never been solved, and even the Municipal Bureau has kept a secret about this matter. Everything has become a mist, submerged in the long river of time.
Adolescent Song Wen was extremely rebellious and bold. He often felt that he had seen such a terrifying hell on earth, and there was nothing to fear in the world.Later Song Wen found out that he was wrong. The real scary thing was not the dead, but the living. There were no ghosts in the world. Those who died could no longer jump up and stab others, but the living... can do everything.
He was no longer afraid of the corpse, but the dark basement remained in his subconscious. He rejected the elevator and the enclosed dark environment, and he still couldn't overcome it.
Song Wen retracted his thoughts, he suddenly remembered something, took out his mobile phone to check the date, it turned out that seventeen years have passed since that day.In seventeen years, he has grown from an ignorant child to a criminal police officer. Now, he no longer fears those corpses, but this mystery may never find the murderer.
After finishing the previous case, the team that Song Wen led finally came to rest.Since the night of the fight, Nancheng has never seen the sun again.
As soon as Song Wen got dressed, the phone rang, he picked it up and picked it up, and heard Zhou Yining’s voice coming over: "Team Song, it’s been more than a month since the newcomer came to you? ?"
Song Wen didn't know why Zhou Yining suddenly called to ask about Lu Siyu, and it was the morning before work. He put on his shoes and said, "Very good, obedient, smart, and easy to use." Having said that, I paused for a while, and remembered some details of the two cases, "But...I do think he...is different from normal people, there is something weird."
"I recently asked someone to check his files." Zhou Yining continued, "Then, I found something."
"What?" Song Wen frowned and asked.
"Generally speaking, a person's file reflects all the situation of a person. It is difficult to fake a file, but sometimes there are some special conditions." Zhou Yining paused, "That is the file modified by the police. In order to protect the witnesses, victims, related personnel, informants, undercover agents, etc. in the accident, the police will modify the files. This modification is traceless, and only high-level authority can query the modification records. When I searched, I discovered that his file may have been modified."
Song Wen frowned slightly when he heard this.
Zhou Yining continued: "The last person I found this kind of trace was you from Team Song."
Song Wen certainly knows why his files have been revised.And this means that the authority of the person Zhou Yining is looking for is even higher than that of Gu Ju: "So, what do you mean..."
Zhou Yining directly asked Song Wen: "Are you considering transferring him?"
Song Wen held the phone and thought for a moment: "Not necessary for the time being, I will check it out."
