The office of the Criminal Police Unit was on the third floor of the West Building. When Hu Changqing arrived at the Criminal Police Unit, he was warmly welcomed. Those who knew him and those who did not know him surrounded him to greet him. They all knew that the wife of the captain was from a noble family and his brother-in-law was a famous young master in Jiang City. They all came over to get close to him. Although the Criminal Police Unit was an important department of the public security system, it did not have much real power. If he took the opportunity to get to know Young Master Hu, he could borrow the face of the young master if he needed anything in the future. Moreover, he was the nephew of the chief police officer.
In the end, it was Gu Shaotang who heard the commotion outside and came out to rescue him. After entering Gu Shaotang's slightly messy office, Gu Shaotang led him to sit down and smiled."What a joke. The criminal police team is bitter and tired. They don't have any real power. If there's anything they need, they have to listen to others. In the future, if they have anything to ask of you, you can help them.”
Hu Changqing couldn't help but look at Gu Shaotang in surprise. It seemed that his brother-in-law wasn't as old-fashioned and unreasonable as he had imagined. His words were very good. It seemed that he had been too prejudiced in the past. Gu Shaotang knew that he would be transferred back to the criminal police force soon. After he left, these people would have a harder time. Although his relationship with Gong Tianying was quite bad in the past, after all, they were relatives. Everyone in the system would give in to him. It would be more convenient for his subordinates to do things.
At this moment, a policewoman came in with two bottles of mineral water. Gu Shaotang laughed and scolded,"You're quite enthusiastic this time. Usually, you don't even come when the guests are all talking.”The policewoman giggled and glanced at Hu Changqing again before leaving without paying any attention to Gu Shaotang.
Gu Shaotang looked at Hu Changqing helplessly and smiled."Why do you have the time to come over? Is there something wrong?”
Hu Changqing opened the bottle of mineral water and took two sips. He had just finished that matter and had not replenished his water. His mouth was really a little dry. He smiled and said,"I want to investigate someone. I need to borrow your computer.”
Gu Shaotang couldn't help but be stunned. He wanted to refuse, which was completely against his principles. However, he thought that his brother-in-law must have deliberately given him a chance to get close to him and wanted to repair their relationship. He had many acquaintances in the public security system, so there was no need for him to come to him. Then he thought about whether it was something that he couldn't let others know about, and his thoughts turned.
Hu Changqing saw that Gu Shaotang was silent and thought that he still couldn't get past his principles, so he didn't make things difficult for him. He said,"Brother-in-law, it's okay. I'll go to Uncle Liu's place later. I haven't come to see your working environment.”Hu Changqing wasn't dissatisfied, but he admired Gu Shaotang's persistence.
Gu Shaotang didn't say anything. He just got up and went to his computer. He entered his number and password and entered the internal search interface of the police. After he was done, he said to Hu Changqing,"What's there to be embarrassed about? I'm just worried that you'll do something illegal. I'm warning you, you don't have to do anything.”
Hu Changqing was surprised by Gu Shaotang's opening, but he still happily walked to the computer and said to Gu Shaotang, who was about to go out,"Why don't brother-in-law take a look with me?”
" I still have work to arrange," Gu Shaotang said tactfully." Take your time to investigate. Don't do anything illegal."”When he closed the door, he did not forget to remind her.
Hu Changqing stretched lazily on the chair and entered Su Wenguang's name. In a short while, all the information appeared. He was a first-class wanted criminal of the Ministry of Public Security. No matter how much he escaped, he could find any traces of an old man in that photo. The young man in that photo was about 25 years old. He had delicate features and handsome facial features. He was a very gentle and delicate young man.
Looking at the introduction of the case, Hu Changqing's heart couldn't help but feel numb. Twenty-five years ago, the family of five of the Deputy Chief of the Shigou City Police Department was killed by him. He also killed two armed police officers while fleeing, and stole two submachine guns, a pistol, and a lot of bullets. So the old man was really a heinous murderer. No wonder his eyes made people's hearts go numb. Could it be that he was vicious after killing someone?
Then, he went to the list of first-degree wanted criminals in the Ministry of Public Security. He was still on the list, but he was already very far behind. It seemed that after more than 20 years, they were not confident that they would be able to find this person. He could not help but return to the interface of the case. Damn it, what was the point of looking for him? He only knew his name and a photo of him when he was young. There was no DNA or fingerprints on file. However, the investigation skills that he had spent more than 20 years on did not have these. It seemed that Old Man Su could finally escape from his misery.
Hu Changqing closed the interface and returned to his previous position. He picked up the mineral water and drank it. He thought about how to settle Old Man Su. Perhaps Chen Tie could consider it, but he had to ask Old Man Su's opinion. He could finally start over again. He should not be willing to come into contact with those things.
At this moment, Gu Shaotang walked in with a heavy expression and said to Hu Changqing,""There's a case at Nanshan Hill. It's very tricky. I have to go to the scene quickly. I can't accompany you.”
Hu Changqing quickly stood up and said,"Yes, I've already checked."”He followed Gu Shaotang outside and found that the situation outside was completely different from when he had come. Everyone was nervously packing their things and getting into position, preparing to go to the crime scene, ignoring him.
Seeing Hu Changqing's questioning gaze, Gu Shaotang explained,""Five bodies were found under an unfinished building on Nanshan Hill. We'll only know the exact situation when we get there. I won't go down with you.”After saying that, he overtook Hu Changqing and walked out quickly.
Hu Changqing looked at Gu Shaotang's hurried steps and felt uneasy. This sudden case wouldn't cause any changes to his brother-in-law's transfer, right?
After finding out more about Su Wenguang, Hu Changqing decided to go to the riverside again in the afternoon to tell him what he knew and bring him some wine and daily necessities.
Hu Changqing stopped at the bank by the roadside and went down to withdraw 50,000 yuan. He had a handbag now, so he could keep more cash on him. Then, he went to the supermarket to buy some rice and oil, as well as toothbrush, toothpaste, and towels. Of course, the most important thing was Wuliang Ye. Considering that Old Man Su might come ashore soon, he bought a box.
When they arrived at the riverside, they found Old Man Su sitting on a huge river rock, staring at the rolling river in a daze. Hu Changqing didn't even notice when he stopped the car. He honked the horn and led the old man over.
When Hu Changqing got out of the car to move the things, the old man unconsciously came to his side and asked,"Didn't you say you'll come tomorrow? Why did you come in the afternoon?”His voice was as calm as ever, but Hu Changqing could hear a hint of urgency.
Hu Changqing picked up a few lighter things and left the heavier rice, oil, and wine to Old Man Su. He couldn't walk on the river rocks as if it was light. He had to be careful with his feet. As he walked, he said,"I went to investigate your case just now. I have a general understanding of the situation. It's not a big problem.”
Su Wenguang was carrying the rice, oil, and wine in his arms. When he heard Hu Changqing's words, he could not help but stop in his tracks. He hesitated and said,"You've read my dossier. Aren't you afraid of me?”
Hu Changqing didn't even turn his head and said," Old man, you must have your reasons for killing people. Besides, the you I know, other than being a little strange, there's nothing wrong with you. Aren't we friends?"”
When Su Wenguang heard Hu Changqing's words, his body couldn't help but tremble. His eyes were a little touched as he said,"It can be considered fate to meet little friend in this wandering world. It's my honor that you're willing to be friends with a sloppy old man.”
Suddenly, Hu Changqing smiled and said," Old man, you seem to be only in your fifties. It seems more appropriate to call you uncle. Why do you look so old?"”
When he didn't hear Su Wenguang's response, Hu Changqing immediately knew that he had misspoken. Looking at the old man's integrity, he definitely didn't think of committing crimes again in order to improve his life. He should have been living a life of eating and sleeping in the open. Moreover, he had to be afraid and bear the psychological guilt of murder. As he wandered about, he naturally aged very quickly.
He hurriedly placed the things on the bow of the ship and turned around to apologize. However, he realized that Su Wenguang was already beside him. He hurriedly took the things from his hands and placed them on the bow of the ship. Just as he was about to speak, Su Wenguang stopped him with his hand.
Su Wenguang walked to the water's edge with his hands behind his back. He looked at the mighty river and sighed." In life, everything is destined. In my early years, my master told me that I was destined to offend the heavens. I was impulsive and irritable. I would definitely cause trouble and commit murder. I was destined to live a miserable life. He told me to restrain my personality, or else I would definitely be destined. Unfortunately, I was young and ignorant. I didn't know how to restrain myself. I caused trouble and implicated my family. In the end, it led to a bitter fruit. Therefore, although I have reflected on my current situation, I don't regret it.”
Hu Changqing also followed him to the water's edge. As he welcomed the gentle river wind and listened to the old man's misty words, he felt like a scene from a movie had come alive. He smiled and said,"Old man, you finally look like an otherworldly expert now. Just like how you were with me at noon, you don't have so many emotions. The most important thing is that you're still alive and you even met me.”After saying that, he raised his hands and stretched lazily at Dajiang.
Su Wenguang turned his head and looked at Hu Changqing. He said solemnly,"You're my benefactor. When you took the initiative to look for me three years ago, I could tell from your face that you were a benefactor. I thought that I would continue to live like this with your help. I didn't expect that I would be able to go ashore.”
Hu Changqing only smiled indifferently and did not have much of a reaction. He treated the old man as a friend that he could talk to. He did not really care if he was a noble or not.
After that, Su Wenguang talked about his experience. The story was very old-fashioned, but it was constantly repeated in China. Su Wenguang was an orphan at the foot of Wudang Mountain. He was adopted by an old Taoist priest from an unknown Taoist temple on Wudang Mountain and taught him martial arts. Once, when he went to Shigou, he encountered the son of the deputy chief of the police department bullying a woman on the street. He acted bravely and saved the woman before returning to the mountain. However, not long after he left the mountain, he heard of a cruel tragedy. A woman was raped at home, and her parents were forced to go to the temple. In the end, the whole family committed suicide by drinking pesticide. After a little understanding, Su Wenguang knew that it was the woman he saved last time. He was furious and indignant. He killed the entire family of the police chief and tortured the evil young master to death. He originally wanted to kill the others, but the matter was exposed. In the end, he could only escape. Fortunately, he returned to the temple and received some guidance from his master before he escaped. Thus, he fled for twenty-five years. It was only seven years ago that he returned to Jiang City and settled down here. However, he did not dare to return to Ten Ravines to take a look.
This afternoon, Hu Changqing chatted with the old man for a long time. Even when the landscape lights of the riverside buildings were lit up, the old man still did not reply to whether he wanted to go ashore. However, when Hu Changqing got into the car and was about to leave, he found that he had opened a bottle of wine and was standing by the dim water. Facing the cool river, he was drinking wine and singing an unknown song. He was dancing with joy, looking crazy and frivolous.
