In China, blackmailers are a very common phenomenon. We can often see news on television or on the Internet that an old lady has been run over by an electric car and blackmailed tens of thousands of dollars without getting hurt, and even more, that some old people have completely abandoned their social morals and become professionals, walking the streets in search of goals they think they can make a profit on.

Under the blue sky, we would often see such a scene on the streets where countless streams of people were streaming in and out of the city. We can hardly see the young people around the elderly who walk alone. They will choose the S-shaped route in front of the old people, and some timid people will avoid the plague in their hearts even if it is too far away.

We can't imagine what the older people are thinking, and we can't feel what the young people are worrying about.

Sometimes, we would see a group of people talking on the street. Sometimes they were here to watch the accident, sometimes they were here to catch Little San. Sometimes they were here to watch an old man lying on the ground.

Were these people cold and heartless? Or would this old man, lying on the ground, suddenly change his face?

The blackmailer has become a phenomenon, a culture, and the blackmailer has also gradually aged. If a victim, no matter how noble the moral standard is, is entitled to civil compensation by the state, why would they give it up?

This was abnormal!

The case of Ms. Qin's son was an unusual one. The parents of the defendant were completely unaware of the victim. Similarly, the accused did not tell his guardian who he had raped. Could it be that Wang Yang had something that was difficult to say at that time? Or was he threatened?

Shanghe County was a small city with a population of less than a hundred thousand.

Since we took over the case, there has been a strange kind of anger. I have the feeling that there's a big hand hanging over us, and even though we've found a lot of clues, we haven't been able to form a network until now.

He had wanted to find out more about the identity of the victim, but his file had been deleted. Fortunately, Wang Yang's mother was still alive. I asked him, "Which high school did your son attend all those years ago?"

"It's the fifth high school of this county!" Miss Qin said: "My Shanghe County's conditions are pretty good. What Wang Yang offered was a bargaining price, aiya, it's all my fault!"

I think she won't be able to recover for a while. I'll have Auntie Wang accompany her first, while I drove quickly towards the Fifth High School with my car.

The Shanghe County isn't too big, and in less than ten minutes of driving, we arrived at the entrance of the Fifth High School.

Looking around, the buildings of No. 5 High School were actually very old. Although the outer walls looked as if they had been renovated, the style of this building was probably something left behind from the 1980s.

When I opened the door of the reception room, I saw an old grandpa sitting in front of a writing desk, listening to an old-fashioned radio. I walked over and showed his my ID card, asking, "Grandpa, may I ask if Teacher Zhang Wei is there?"

"Let's go!" The grandpa said, "I left half a month ago!"

"Ah?!" This is too depressing, isn't it too much of a coincidence? Why did the person involved in this case leave or get knocked out?

"Then... "Then where did she go?"

The grandpa said, "I heard that he went to some farty place to teach. Isn't that a tiger?"

Longevity Day! My train of thought was completely disrupted. What was going on? I looked at the grandpa in front of me. I noticed that he was quite old. I asked him, "Do you remember a rape case in your Fifth National Male Middle School?"

"A rape case?" The grandpa thought for a while and said, "It really is like that!"

Seeing that there was still hope, I hastily lit a cigarette for the old man and asked, "Then do you know who the victim is?"

"Let me think!" The grandpa said: "That was very bizarre. I heard that a student raped a pair of cousins! "I'm not sure about the details, but the cousins left school later on, but there was one girl who seemed to have the surname Jiang …"

Jiang …! My heart skipped a beat. I suddenly thought of Jiang Shan. Could he be the elder brother of the victim? If that was really the case, could it be that he had killed Wang Yang in order to avenge his sister?

From the deletion of the file, it could be seen that there was definitely a traitor within the Public Security Bureau. Could it really be a river or a mountain? Before I could understand what was going on, the grandpa suddenly interrupted me and said: "You better not investigate this. Those who knew of this matter at that time either retired or were transferred away. The case is old and the murderer has also been sentenced. Why are you still investigating?"

After the old man finished speaking to me, he continued listening to the broadcast. He no longer paid any attention to me. Elder Liang and I walked out of the mail room, and just as I was about to close the door, I used the corner of my eyes to glance at the old man in the room.

At that moment, I seemed to see an almost imperceptible flash of anger in the old man's eyes, and I always thought it was an illusion, but as the door closed, I would never get an answer, because the door was actually locked by him.

Elder Liang turned around and looked at the window of the mailroom. When he was young, he stroked his beard for a few days and said: "This case is interesting, do you realize that a lot of the people who know about it are pretending to be ignorant?"

"En!" I nodded. "It's obvious that the old man knew about it. Why didn't he say it?" Was it fear or something else? "

"It's not fear!" Elder Liang smiled at me and said: "His speech was smooth and natural, and you don't realize it, but his expression is very natural. He has already treated that matter as his own, and he himself did not want to tell you.

Start thinking? What kind of thought was this? I started the car, while focusing on driving, I chatted about this case with the Elder Liang, and as we talked, we talked about Jiang Shan. I asked him, "What do you think about Jiang Shan?"

"Nice kid!" Elder Liang laughed, "You suspect that Jiang Shan is a spy?"

"En!" I nodded. "There are some doubts, but I can't be sure!"

I parked the car on the side of the road and took out my phone to send Wei Shijie a short message. I didn't choose to make a phone call. If Jiang Shan is really a spy, I'm very worried that there might be a bug hidden in our Task Force's conference room!

Wei Shijie quickly replied me with a text message, and after reading it, I called Auntie Wang. I let her ask for me if Wang Yang's best friend still remains in Shanghe County. Since we are unable to investigate from the school, then, his hoodlum friends, perhaps they have obtained some clues?

Ten minutes later, the Auntie Wang called me back. She said that Ms. Qin had been busy with business and had very little contact with her son's privacy. She didn't even know how many of his friends he had.

"Sigh!" I lay on the steering wheel gloomily, feeling a little stuffy in my heart. Whether it's the 12.1 major case or the case of the lotus root female corpse a few days ago, we will find out the murderer's true identity little by little in a few clues.

However, we can't find any clues on this case. It was impossible for a butt to descend from the sky, and the reason for the case had something to do with Spirit Realm Organization. Could it be that this strange case was really caused by Spirit Realm? I think only this mysterious organization would be able to do such a thing.

Driving the car on the road to Shanghe County Prison, which was my last stop and my last hope, I asked Elder Liang, "Do you think we'll be able to find anything in River Prison?"

Elder Liang laughed and said to me: "Do you have to find out something? The lack of a clue is also a clue! "

"Eh …" What kind of logic was this? I was a little dazed.

The Elder Liang said, "Ever since we took on this strange case, why couldn't we find any clues?"

I said, "Of course it's someone behind the scenes!"

"Hehe …" The Elder Liang smiled but didn't answer. As I focused on driving, I recalled all of the things that our Task Force had experienced during this period of time.

In the past few days, although we have obtained some clues, we were unable to link them together. Cheng Yuee, Wang Yang, Da Qiangzi, Da Qiangzi, as well as the village head of the Wealth Building Village, all of their paths were completely different.

A widow, a university student, an ordinary youth from the countryside, a village chief, a dead rapist, and a man whose buttocks he still couldn't find.

How could these things be linked together? Could it be that our investigation was in the wrong direction? This case does not fall into the category of normal cases at all?

I suddenly thought of the old man in the reception room. He was obviously a person who knew about this, but he chose to remain silent. No, it was not silent. Elder Liang said that his state of mind was called thinking from the start?

Could it be?! Suddenly, a light flashed in my head. Could it be that they did it on purpose? I said to Elder Liang: "Don't tell me everyone is lying to us?"

"It's opened up?" Elder Liang said, "This should be the case. The deleted documents and the concealment from the old man in the communication room, together with these things, we can determine that these people are intentionally protecting someone!"
