Chapter 35: Thousands of Thousands of Things

Qi Shundong was sitting in his office listening to Zhang Lang's report.

We have mastered this situation at present and can't find any clues at all.Zhang Lang said at the end.

Qi Shundong dusted the ashes in the ashtray and said to himself: This fire was strange, and it was not the time to burn.

He paused, looked up at Zhang Lang and asked: Who do you think did it?

Zhang Lang said: There are three possibilities, one may be done by those who hate the Catholic church, and the other possibility, I suspect that the man who died outside may be that he tied the basement door and set fire to the church.

Then why did he be burned to death by himself?

Zhang Lang analyzed: According to the two experts, the church was poured with gasoline on the upper floor. After the fire was ignited, he might not have time to run out because the fire was too strong.

Have you figured out the identities of those naked men and women?

It was basically clear that they were all Catholics, many of them were couples. Judging from the situation on the scene, a religious ceremony was being held that night.Zhang Lang said.

What religious rituals are performed with naked body?

I can't say this, but according to some foreign data, some extreme religious organizations engage in some activities of gathering crowds and promiscuous activities. Most of these organizations are mysterious. After strict screening, the members held various ceremonies, and their behaviors are not understandable to ordinary people.So, the third possibility I mentioned is that these people may have committed suicide in a group.

suicide?

Qi Shundong shook his head.

If this case is ultimately classified as suicide, I think the families of the victims will definitely cause trouble, and they will feel that their dead relatives have been insulted.However, we will be more relaxed, and those matters are under the jurisdiction of the municipal government.

It is entirely possible that suicide is their way to salvation and the highest realm that their faith praises.Such cases occur frequently abroad, but have never been heard of them in China.

Qi Shundong seemed to be trapped in a mystery, but he was much more sober than Zhang Lang.

The most important task now is to visit the relatives and friends of the victims and understand the daily behavior of these people. I think it is impossible that there is no clue at all.In addition, the news media must strictly control it, only allow reporting on fires, and no matters on the proposal.

But the fire department disagrees. If it is a fire, someone will take responsibility. If it is a criminal case, they can turn it to the public security bureau.Maybe they would have let the news out long ago.

Zhang Lang said embarrassedly.

Qi Shundong slapped the table and said angrily: These people take advantage of the benefits and push the responsibility when they see them. Let Li Qing go to the municipal party committee and government to coordinate with the news reports.

Bureau Qi.Zhang Lang said sadly: Now a large number of police forces must be dispatched to handle this case, and the case of Shang Rong and Zheng Gang may not be taken care of for the time being.

Have you sent someone to monitor Lin Zihui and found any abnormalities?

I started to monitor for a while, but Lin Zihui ran around outside all day and it was difficult to monitor, so I only let them watch Shang Rong's home. Everything is normal so far. I see if it is removed. Shang Rong has almost become an old man now, and he knows what we do.

Zhang Lang said in frustration.

Qi Shundong was upset. He had never encountered such a situation in the past 30 years since he was a police officer. He knew that the other party was a criminal, but he was helpless. He was like the police in foreign movies who had to speak with evidence in everything. I don’t know if this is the progress of the judicial system or the shackles of the case handlers.

Originally, I mean to use him to lead Zheng Gang out. Now Zheng Gang has no road surface and he has disappeared. Do you think he has contacted Zheng Gang and reached an agreement? This is what I am most worried about.Once he and Zheng Gang settle and the two divide the stolen money, the case may become a unsolved case, and at least not to close the case within a few years.

Qi Shundong said worriedly.

I don't think it's possible.

Zhang Lang replied cautiously: If they had to do this, they would have done it long ago and would not have been delayed until now.Besides, Shang Rong is not the kind of person who shares money with others. No matter what he does, his ultimate goal is to revolve around Zheng Gang. If Zheng Gang doesn't die, he will not stop.

Qi Shundong sighed and said: Shang Rong doesn’t know where he has been hiding now. I don’t think he dares to show up in the city for the time being. As long as he is not in the city, Zheng Gang will not be active in this area. You should deal with this case first, as the urging is too tight.

Watching Zhang Lang walk to the door, Qi Shundong stopped him again.

He said thoughtfully: The collective suicide you just mentioned is not impossible. Check the information more to see if it can match our case. If the evidence is conclusive, the case will be closed early.

Zhang Lang walked forward and Li Qing came in.

After hearing the news of the church fire, Huiya Company expressed its willingness to invest 5 million to rebuild the church.They have contacted the city.People in the city knew that this was a criminal case, so they sent someone to ask for our opinions.Is this donation acceptable?

Li Qing said routinely.

Qi Shundong felt angry when he heard this. It seemed that anyone on earth already knew that this was a criminal case, Huiya Company?

Qi Shundong sneered in his heart. It seemed that Shang Rong was not willing to be lonely. Logically, he should have too little time to hide. Why did he feel unhappy if he didn't associate the arson case with him?

All these things have policy regulations, just let them do as required. We are the Public Security Bureau, not the Religious Affairs Administration Bureau.Qi Shundong said angrily.

Seeing that the director was in a bad mood, Li Qing didn't plan to stay for more.Turn around and go out.

Here Qi Shundong stood up, walked to the window, overlooking the pedestrians on the street, and said to himself: Shang Rong's true hero.
