"His face?" Yan Ji was a little surprised.
Jiang Stops stared at him.
"… No, it was too dark at the time, and he had a gun in his hand."
"You didn't see what he looked like at all? Height, body shape, any physical characteristics? "
Yan Ji thought for a moment and said, "It was really hard to see clearly, but he wasn't short. His body shape should be medium, and he ran very fast."
Jiang Stops nodded and didn't say anything. After a while, he suddenly said, "This case can't be investigated any further."
His voice was very soft but firm. Yan Ji was already past the age where he would flip the table and leave without a word, but at this moment, his face still changed. "What did you say?"
"You can't find any direct evidence of Hu Weisheng's involvement in drug production. Under the circumstances where you can't get a confession, the best way to do it is not to detain him for the time being, or to continue the investigation with the direction of selling fake drugs. The dangerous part of this matter is that Hu Weisheng's actions not only violated the law, but also angered the drug cartels. The real vicious criminals are already involved, and the police will encounter unpredictable danger if they investigate further. "
Yan Ji looked straight into Jiang Stops' eyes. After a long time, he said in a soft but dangerous voice, "Why, because you're afraid of the criminals?"
Jiang Stops didn't answer the question directly. He said, "They have a very complete, immeasurable criminal network, stronger and more meticulous than you think …"
"Because of that bag of drugs?" His narration was interrupted by Yan Ji.
"…"
"That bag of drugs is unusual. You recognized the clues in it, didn't you?"
Before Jiang Stops could speak, Yan Ji stood up and was almost right in front of him. "That drug is the same as the fake Adelo that was sold to Feng Yuguang. That's why you want to hide it, right?"
Jiang Stops crossed his hands on the blanket on the hospital bed. He didn't react to the pressing question at all. Even his tone didn't change at all. "If you still want to talk about that bag of drugs, I'll tell you, I just want to keep it for myself."
The incandescent lights in the ward buzzed softly. Other than that, there was only the sound of their breathing on each other's faces.
Yan Ji slowly leaned back and stood up straight. It was as if the aggressiveness from before didn't exist at all.
"The day before yesterday, the parents of the deceased, Feng Yuguang, came to Jianning from Beijing and went to the morgue to claim the body."
Jiang Stops did not respond.
"The Feng family only has one son. His father runs a business, and his mother has been taking care of him full-time at home since he was young. Feng Yuguang is very filial. Although he is sometimes playful, he never forgets to call and send gifts home every New Year, holiday, or birthday of his parents. He is a famous and promising child among his neighbors and relatives. He is also the only hope and pride of his parents. "
"Every victim was once their parents' hope and pride," Jiang Stops replied.
"His mother is almost sixty this year. She couldn't take the shock and fainted when she saw the body. His father had been bawling in the meeting room of the Municipal Public Security Bureau. He kept banging his head on the table, and even the forensic doctors couldn't hold him back. At their age, they can no longer talk about having a second child as a pale consolation. They will live in pain and despair for the rest of their lives. Day after day, there is no end in sight. "
"Jiang Stops." Yan Ji called his name and said slowly, "The student who died painfully in the freezer was once a living person. He had parents, relatives, classmates, and friends. To you, he is just a simple 'victim' on the case file. To many people, he is their entire world. If the perpetrator is not brought to justice, he will be haunted by the rumors of being a drug addict and will never be able to rest in peace. If we, the police, don't clear his name, who can avenge him? "
"Why can't they avenge him?" Jiang Stops asked, "The other party used professional killers to clean up the mess. Do you think they will let go of Hu Weisheng, who exposed the new drug to the police?"
"If you were the victim, would you be happy that the murderer was killed?!" Yan Ji shouted, "We bring the criminal to justice, not only to comfort the victim's family, but also to deter more serious crimes in advance! If it is like you said, they have a whole drug network, how many more Feng Yuguang will be killed in the future? How many more grieving parents of the Feng family will we have to deal with at the scene of the corpse?! "
Yan Ji's low voice shook people, and it seemed that even the cracks in the walls and bricks were secretly trembling.
But Jiang Stops didn't even raise his eyebrows, and said lightly, "There is no need. Being a police officer is just a job. If you die, your parents will also be devastated."
Jiang Stops was the kind of person who looked very gentle from his facial features to his temperament. But that silk-like softness was only on the surface. His inner toughness and indisputability were innate. It seemed that no matter how generous the oath was, no matter how passionate the words were, they would not be able to move his firm and cold attitude in the slightest.
Yan Ji's Adam's apple moved up and down, as if he was holding back something. Then he suddenly said, "You said you wanted to take the bag of drugs for yourself."
Jiang Stops didn't say anything.
"But the blood test after your car accident showed that you didn't use drugs for at least two years."
"…"
"So, why would you, a person who doesn't use drugs, want to take the drugs home to practice high school chemistry experiments?"
"Just think of it as me wanting to sell it for money," Jiang Stops answered smoothly. He wasn't surprised that Yan Ji checked his medical record, "Is that strange?"
He answered so smoothly and without any psychological barriers. If it were someone else, they might have choked on the spot. But Yan Ji was an old criminal police officer for more than ten years. Before Jiang Stops finished his words, he laughed coldly, "Okay, it's not strange. But what I'm more interested in is that after the explosion of the plastic factory, you were officially confirmed as a sacrifice, but Yang Mei rescued you from the scene of the highway accident and brought you back to Jianning. There was a blank period in the middle, so I thought you were kidnapped by drug dealers. But you are the captain of the anti-narcotics branch. With such an important position, why weren't you tortured by drug dealers? "
