"On June 18, 2003, a floating corpse was found in the waters of Xiaowan Lake in Hong County..."
The investigation report is written in great detail.
Yang Xiao roughly understood the ins and outs of the matter from this report.
The body was discovered by several villagers fishing nearby at noon on Monday.
The county criminal investigation brigade rushed to the scene after receiving the report.
It was Shi Tao, captain of the County Criminal Investigation Brigade, who was confirmed dead.
The Crime Squadron immediately took over the investigation of the case.
And report the case to the city bureau.
The Municipal Bureau’s Criminal Investigation Detachment dispatched criminal investigation and technical experts to Hong County.
Investigate with the Hong County Criminal Investigation Brigade.
After technical inspection, Shi Tao's time of death was determined to be twelve to twenty-four hours before the body was found.
That is the time from noon to early morning on Sunday.
After extensive visits, Shi Tao's fishing gear was discovered on the northern shore of Xiaowan Lake.
We also found multiple witnesses who confirmed that they saw Shi Tao riding a motorcycle to Xiaowan Lake on Sunday and fishing on the shore.
But no one found out when Shi Tao fell into the water.
The report also includes photos from the site survey.
Among them are several pictures that appear to be the locations where Shi Tao fell into the water.
The fishing rods, unfolded folding chairs and a professional fishing tackle bag were still on the lake.
In addition to photos of the scene investigation, there are also autopsy reports.
Judging from the autopsy report, Shi Tao's body suffered no trauma, which is consistent with the characteristics of death by drowning.
To be cautious, the Municipal Bureau conducted a more detailed investigation.
Still no clues were found to indicate foul play.
Finally, Guan Ye issued the death report.
It seems that the investigation was completed with the assistance of the Municipal Bureau. The report is signed by the Municipal Bureau's criminal investigation and technical experts. It is really not that Guan Ye did not investigate carefully.
The focus of the debate now is not how Shi Tao died, but whether he died while handling the case.
Shi Tao's family members pointed out that when Shi Tao went out on Sunday, he personally told his wife Zhou Liangyu that he was going out to handle the case.
For this reason, the bureau took the lead and conducted a second round of investigation seven days after Shi Tao's death.
The investigation this time is whether Shi Tao was performing official duties before his death.
Unfortunately, no one in the Criminal Investigation Brigade or anyone else in the bureau knew what case Shi Tao was working on, and the Criminal Investigation Brigade had no relevant records.
This is the official death investigation report that Yang Xiao is seeing now.
The conclusion is that Shi Tao took a weekend break and went fishing in Xiaowan Lake. He accidentally fell into the lake and drowned.
The only doubt is that the night before Shi Tao's death, Shi Tao made a call to Guan Ye that lasted 26 minutes and 38 seconds.
In this regard, Guan Ye specifically mentioned in the report that Shi Tao called him to learn about the situation in the two villages surrounding Xiaowan Lake.
Guan Ye was once a resident policeman in one of the villages.
I am relatively familiar with the situation in the Xiaowan Lake area.
As for the specific content of the call, it is also described in the report:
"Guanda asked me how many villages are around Xiaowan Lake?
I told him, two.
The east, west and south sides of the lakeshore are the responsibility fields of Cuiying Village, and a few acres of land on the north bank are the territory of Juxing Village.
He then asked how many households there were in Juxing Village.
I told him that there were 238 households with a registered population of 984.
This is the data from the eighth census. Our Criminal Investigation Brigade has specific data. Shi Da usually doesn’t like to read computer data. If he has anything, he will ask the people below us..."
Guan Ye also recorded his complaints in the report.
Perhaps to prove that he remembered the phone call that day clearly.
The report continues:
"...I told Guan Da that the freight train station in our county was built in Juxing Village, and the village has been demolished.
Eighty percent of the villagers have moved to newly built resettlement houses in the county.
There are not many people in Juxing Village now.
I asked Guan Da what he was doing in Juxing Village.
Guan Da didn’t say anything.
He finally said he would have a day off tomorrow and asked me to go on duty at the Criminal Investigation Brigade..."
The phone call didn't mention anything about working on a case or fishing.
Shi Tao seems to be very interested in Juxing Village.
It's a pity that Shi Tao didn't tell Guan Ye about his purpose of asking about Juxing Village.
It cannot be used as evidence that Shi Tao died in the line of duty.
Yang Xiao organized the reports and put them back into the document bag.
Only then did he realize that the sky outside the window had darkened.
Eight twenty-five!
Yang Xiao raised his wrist and glanced at the time.
He spent several hours in his office looking through documents.
At this time, the entire Public Security Bureau office building was empty.
As long as the lights are on in his office.
Yang Xiao locked the information and file bag into the iron cabinet, turned off the light and left the office.
Instead of returning to his dormitory, he came to the street outside the Public Security Bureau.
The canteen in this point bureau has long been closed.
He found a random restaurant on the roadside, ordered two stir-fried vegetables and a bowl of soup, and filled his stomach with rice.
There is nothing in the dormitory except furniture.
The luggage Yang Xiao brought from Chengdu was also very simple, only two police uniforms and a few changes of summer clothes.
Some bedding and daily necessities had to be repurchased.
Otherwise he would have to sleep on the bare Simmons tonight.
Fortunately, it's hot summer now, so a single sheet and an air-conditioning quilt can solve the problem.
As for other household appliances and tableware, you can wait to purchase them later.
Yang Xiao is ready to work in Hong County for a long time.
His father, Yang Zhennan, sent him here and would not transfer him back in three or two years.
Today is Yang Xiao's first day in Hong County.
The days are still long!
Boom boom!
The roar of a large-displacement engine could be heard on the street outside the restaurant.
Along with the roar of the engine, there were cheers and shouts one after another.
Yang Xiao raised his head curiously while holding his rice bowl.
Saw a dozen Yamaha motorcycles swaggering through the street.
Those who ride bicycles are all young men.
Their hair is styled exaggeratedly and dyed in various colors.
The same young girls were lying on the back seats of several of the motorcycles.
Everyone is dressed in a non-mainstream style.
They seemed to be cruising on the street, driving very slowly, twisting the accelerator from time to time, making the motorcycles erupt with a deafening roar.
With each roar, the team burst into cheers.
Everyone's faces were full of provocative expressions.
Anyone who expresses dissatisfaction will be scolded by these people, and they will even rush a motorcycle in front of them and raise the front of the car to threaten them.
These motorcycles drive majestically through the narrow streets, occupying almost the entire road.
Passing vehicles had to stop and give way.
The young man riding the bike looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old.
Still at school age.
Now he's wandering the streets.
In 2003, the mainland was impacted by the cultural impact of Hong Kong and Taiwan.
"Young and Dangerous", which was released on Hong Kong Island a few years ago, has entered the mainland, and gang culture is prevalent.
Many young people, especially inland young people with relatively closed information, imitate these seemingly cool film and television works after being exposed to them.
Even provincial capital cities like Chengdu have no shortage of such troubled teenagers.
They may have played it more exaggeratedly.
