The next morning, seven o 'clock.
Jianning City Public Security Bureau.
Pa!
The curtains in the director's office were not drawn, and the sky was dim and blurry. The desk lamp, which had not been turned off all night, was still on, reflecting the two transparent evidence bags thrown on the desk.
Yan Ji wore a light blue uniform shirt, a third supervisor epaulet, dark blue police uniform trousers, and leather shoes for the first time in a long time. He had a rare serious temperament. He reached out and picked up the two evidence bags, frowning and looking at them carefully.
It was a slightly rusty bullet casing and a twisted bullet head.
"Can you recognize it?" Director Lu stood behind the desk with his hands behind his back and asked slowly.
In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Yan Ji's mind, like a computer's CPU filtering a large amount of data in an instant. Finally, the image froze in the middle of the night in the village of Jiangyang County a few months ago. At the critical moment when Fan Wu and the other desperadoes were about to pounce on them, Jiang Stops resolutely pulled the trigger with his index finger.
"… I can't recognize it," Yan Ji looked back at Director Lu and said calmly.
There was a limit to how much space the table lamp could illuminate. When Chief Lu stood up, his upper body was almost shrouded in darkness. The pair of eyes on his round face were exceptionally bright as they stared into the depths of Yan Xuan's pupils. "Even you can't recognize him? Then I'll remind you of a location, Jiangyang County. Do you have an impression? "
Yan Ji put down the evidence bag and smiled apologetically. "To be honest, Director Lu, I really don't understand what you're saying. Maybe it's because my grades in the police academy were average. I've returned the theoretical knowledge of firearms and bullets to the teacher in the past two years. It's really … "
"I thought that if there was only one person in the world who could recognize this bullet, that person would definitely be you." Director Lu interrupted him and finally laughed, returning to his usual smiling Maitreya appearance. "619 serial kidnappings, An Zhong, and you went to Jiangyang County to interrogate Li Yuxin. On the way back, you encountered Fan Wu's group attacking the police with guns. You, Xiao Zhang, and Li Yuxin were all shot. After that, Old Wei personally brought Huang Xing and the others to the scene to investigate. This 9mm Luger shell was one of the physical evidence brought back at that time. It was also the only shell shell that had a completely different primer and firing pin mark from the other shells. "
Yan Ji's expression changed slightly.
"The warhead was found in the crack of the back seat of the car after the Jiangyang County Police Station got out from the bottom of the river. Preliminary ballistics analysis shows that the warhead entered the water after hitting the target, and it happened to drill through the broken window and got stuck in the back seat. If it didn't enter the interior of the car, perhaps the police would never be able to salvage the warhead from the mud at the bottom of the river. But because of this coincidence, it was actually discovered by us. It can be said that justice has long arms, and justice has long arms. "
"… Does this warhead have any special characteristics?" Yan Ji asked cautiously.
"There are two." Chief Lu paused and said, "First, it has rifling."
Rifling?
The manufacture of professional gun barrels required high-end equipment controlled by the state. Therefore, whether the warhead had rifling was one of the key factors to distinguish between a homemade gun and a standard gun. The homemade guns and bullets used by Fan Zhengyuan and Fan Wu did not have rifling. But now, the bullet in the evidence bag had rifling. What did this mean?
A standard pistol had appeared at the scene that day. It was even possible that it was a military police gun!
"Second," Chief Lu stared at Yan Ji and said slowly, "Your blood was tested on this warhead."
Yan Ji's eardrums exploded. For a few seconds, he was in a mess and sat motionless in the chair.
"After interrogating Fan Wu, his confession proved my guess. The bullet at the scene was not fired from their gun barrel. In other words, other than Fan Wu and the others who were hired by Wang Xingye to kill Li Yuxin, there was another group of people, or rather, another gunman. This person only fired one shot. "
The office was silent. It was not yet time to go to work in the morning, so the city bureau building was still shrouded in silence.
Chief Lu's voice finally broke the silence.
"The target of this shot was you."
Yan Ji slowly loosened his grip on the evidence bag and leaned back in his chair. After a long time, he finally said in a low voice, "I didn't notice at all that day …"
"Working as a criminal police officer may make a lot of enemies, but I haven't seen many criminals who dare to retaliate against the leader of the deputy provincial public security detachment in my many years of being a police officer. Of course, few doesn't mean that they don't exist. You come from a good family and are full of confidence. Your usual style of doing things is very tough. It is possible that you have done something that made others hate you to death. Do you have any guesses in your heart? "
Yan Ji was silent for a long time and said, "I don't know."
When he said these words, he looked away. Chief Lu seemed to have noticed something from this subconscious movement. He narrowed his eyes and asked, "You really don't have any clues? Yan Ji, you are not the kind of person who doesn't know what you have done to make others hate you. "
Yan Ji repeated in a low voice, "I don't know."
He didn't even change his tone.
Chief Lu nodded. He seemed to know that Yan Ji would not say another word, so he stopped asking this question. "Have you found any abnormalities in your life since you came back from Jiangyang County, such as being spied on, followed, eavesdropped, etc.?"
In an instant, the image of the silver Hyundai Elantra that appeared and disappeared like a ghost appeared in front of Yan Ji's eyes. But as soon as this thought appeared, he cautiously pushed it back and said, "I haven't found anything for the time being."
Director Lu was noncommittal and said, "You must be very careful. If you can prove that this bullet came from a standard gun, or even a police gun registered in the public security system, then the situation will become quite complicated. Speaking of which, I have already asked Old Huang to compare the rifling data. All military and police guns must have rifling records. When the time comes, let's see if we can find anything."
Yan Ji nodded and forced a smile. He pointed to the two evidence bags. "Can I take a few photos?"
