Chapter 383 Planning

Even on the train to Haiyuan City, Lu Qingliang had already sent the preliminary information about Zhao Zonghai to Lu Ming's mobile phone.

Zhao Zonghai, 52, is currently an electrical appliance maintenance worker. He cooperates with the after-sales service of several home appliance brands. He also undertakes some maintenance business on his own and is considered a semi-freelancer. The income is still moderate. It is possible to support a family, send children to school, and provide for the elderly.

His wife is a housekeeper and they have two children, one in college and one in high school. There is also an older brother who has settled in another city. My mother has passed away and my father is old. He had a microcerebral thrombosis a few years ago. His condition seems to be relapsing recently and he is currently recovering in the rehabilitation department of the hospital.

Recently, he has been staying in the hospital to take care of his old father.

I have some relatives and some friends, all of whom fall into the normal category of ordinary people. My hobby is fishing. When I have time, I often find a place to fish with some fishing friends for a few hours and a whole day. Sometimes I can’t find any friends and I will go alone.

No matter where you look, he is just an ordinary person.

But such an ordinary person appeared in Hu Shan's dream inexplicably, and the way and time of his death were specified.

At one o'clock in the morning on November 4th, he slipped and fell into the water and died...

Further details about Zhao Zonghai have not yet been ascertained. But at this moment, combined with the way and time of his death, Lu Ming immediately made a judgment in his mind.

Night fishing.

If Lu Ming himself was the mastermind behind the scenes, then if he wanted to plan Zhao Zonghai's death in a reasonable way, night fishing seemed to be the only solution.

After thinking about it, Lu Ming added another qualification, single player.

If he has companions, there is still a high probability of rescuing him.

However, even if he is alone, for an experienced fishing friend like Zhao Zonghai, is the probability of slipping into the water and drowning really high?

I'm afraid not.

After thinking about it again, Lu Ming added another condition, drinking.

"I wonder if this Zhao Zonghai has the habit of drinking alone, especially when fishing alone." Lu Ming thought secretly: "There shouldn't be many people who have this habit, right?"

After thinking all the way, Lu Ming finally arrived in Haiyuan City and met Zhang Dingshan and He Wei in a conference room of the Haiyuan City Public Security Bureau.

Zhang Dingshan was the first to arrive. After Lu Ming arrived, he said: "I have joined forces with the local public security bureau and mobilized guards to secretly conduct a comprehensive investigation of Zhao Zonghai's interpersonal relationships, hobbies, personality and other information through both real and online levels. These are his information.”

Lu Ming took it, glanced at the first page, and immediately saw a particularly important piece of information.

Zhao Zonghai can't swim.

Lu Ming nodded slightly and continued reading.

The subsequent information included information about every relative, friend, colleague, and acquaintance of Zhao Zonghai who was close to him or had frequent dealings with him. After an overview, Lu Ming's judgment became more certain.

"If I were the mastermind behind the scenes, I would definitely plan a night fishing to achieve the death of Zhao Zonghai who lost his footing and fell into the water at 1 a.m. on the 4th. Overall, night fishing is the easiest way to achieve this goal. , the most reasonable and most promising way to succeed.”

"Our judgments are consistent. So, the question now is, how to plan specifically?"

Once the method is determined to be “night fishing”, several of Zhao Zonghai’s fishing friends in the fishing circle must play a key role.

"To ensure that Zhao Zonghai chooses night fishing on that day...first of all, his old father who is recovering in the hospital needs to be settled. It is obviously impossible to go fishing at night while staying with him in the hospital."

"I have checked the hospital information and it is impossible for Zhao Zonghai's father to be discharged from the hospital in the short term."

"In this case, the only way is to have someone else take his place in bed. What is the relationship between his brother and him? What is the relationship between his brother and his father?"

Lu Ming carefully flipped through Zhao Zonghai's information about his brother Zhao Zongshan, savored it carefully, thought about it, and nodded: "The relationship between the two brothers is pretty good. Although there are occasional conflicts with my father, it is still normal. Category. Well, it can also be regarded as filial piety.

Since his father's condition worsened and he was hospitalized, the last time Zhao Zongshan came to stay with him in bed was more than 20 days ago. These days, Zhao Zonghai is always in bed with her. Logically speaking, it would be a few days before Zhao Zongshan came to replace him. "

"But Zhao Zongshan has been busy with work recently, so he probably doesn't have time."

"The latest additional information is coming."

Lu Qingliang said and uploaded some new information to the computer.

Due to time constraints, at this moment, even if the second operation team mobilized a large number of guards and local security officers to conduct investigations simultaneously on the Internet and in reality, they still could not find out all the information. It is still under investigation at this time, and new information will be added at any time.

Lu Ming looked at the latest added information and nodded: "This Zhao Zongshan has a hot temper. He is engaged in decoration work with a boss, but he can't stand the boss. There have been many conflicts between the two. Then It's easy to arrange. If it were me, I would arrange for Zhao Zongshan to quarrel with the boss again and then resign."

"Once he resigns, Zhao Zongshan will have time immediately. With his character, he will definitely choose to go to Haiyuan City to accompany his father."

"Zhao Zongshan is the first key figure."

He Wei picked up the pen, wrote Zhao Zongshan's name on the whiteboard, and then drew a circle.

"Okay. Now that Zhao Zongshan is here, Zhao Zonghai will have time to go fishing at night. However, having time does not necessarily mean that he must go fishing at night. Other drivers are needed."

Zhao Zonghai must have been exhausted physically and mentally after being in bed with him for a long time. Now that he has his brother in his place, he is more likely to choose to take a good rest for a few days.

"Yes, there needs to be a bigger drive."

Lu Ming flipped through the information again and noticed a detail.

"Zhao Zonghai bought all his fishing gear from a fishing gear store called 'Big Fish'. The owner of the fishing gear store is named Wu Hong, and he is an acquaintance with Zhao Zonghai. Zhao Zonghai has been interested in a high-end fishing rod for a long time, but because the price is too expensive , has been reluctant to buy it. If he buys this fishing rod, will the driving force be stronger? "

This is very possible. For anglers, new fishing gear is like a child's toy. Once you get it, you will have a strong driving force to use it immediately.

"The price inquiry shows that Wu Hong's purchase price for this fishing rod is 1,600 yuan, the selling price is 3,350 yuan, and the price quoted to Zhao Zonghai is 3,000 yuan. If I were to control it, I would control Wu Hong to continue to buy this fish. If the price of the rod is reduced, and the quotation is 2,500 yuan, and if there is a time limit, Zhao Zonghai is very likely to bite the bullet and buy it directly."

There is no such shop after passing this village. The price of the big toy you have been longing for has finally been reduced. If you don’t want to buy it, what are you waiting for?

"That makes sense."

Zhang Dingshan nodded: "So, Wu Hong is the second key figure."

He Wei wrote Wu Hong's name and continued to draw a circle.

"But it's still not enough. It's not enough to ensure that Zhao Zonghai decided to go fishing at night on that day, and it's not enough to ensure that he slipped and fell into the water."

He Wei thought for a while and said: "Perhaps we can arrange it this way. Let one of his fishing friends come forward to make an appointment with him. If someone makes an appointment with him, he will be more motivated to decide to go fishing at night. Moreover, Zhao Zonghai himself does not have time to fish. He has a drinking habit, so finding a fishing friend who has this habit and asking him to go fishing with him at night can also achieve the goal of getting Zhao Zonghai to drink too."

“Among his fishing friends, are there any who like to drink when fishing at night?”

Lu Qingliang quickly checked, picked up the phone and asked, and after more than ten minutes, a new message came up: "There is really one."

Lu Ming frowned and said, "If there is someone to keep him company, it might not be easy for Zhao Zonghai to drown."

He Wei said: "It's easy. Let this person come out to fish with Zhao Zonghai at night and drink together, but let him go home if there is an emergency around 12 o'clock. At that time, Zhao Zonghai became interested in fishing and started drinking. , he himself will probably stay and continue fishing at night and continue drinking.”

Lu Ming thought for a while: "Indeed. Then, this fishing friend, um, Horford, right? He is also a key figure."

He Wei wrote Horford's name and drew a circle.

Thus, three key figures were identified.

Lu Ming thought about it again and said, "Perhaps we should also include Zhao Zonghai's wife. Her husband has been staying with him in the hospital for a long time, and it is difficult to find someone to replace him. But when he goes fishing at night, his wife may be dissatisfied. This factor must also be considered."

Zhang Dingshan shook his head: "There is no need to consider this factor. Zhao Zonghai and his wife are not on good terms, and they have been sleeping in separate rooms for several years. If it were not for their children, the two would have divorced long ago. His wife wishes Zhao Zonghai would not come home."

Lu Ming nodded: "I see, then there is no doubt. Then the overall plan is as follows: Zhao Zonghai's brother Zhao Zongshan resigned and came to Haiyuan City to replace his brother and stay with his father. Zhao Zonghai had time, and then he saw the price of the new fishing rod that he had been longing for was greatly reduced. , gritted his teeth and bought it ruthlessly. It happened that Horford asked him to go fishing at night, so Zhao Zonghai decided to relax by fishing at night.

Horford had the habit of fishing and drinking at night, so Zhao Zonghai started drinking after being persuaded. At about 12 o'clock, Horford temporarily decided to go home because of something, leaving Zhao Zonghai alone.

Zhao Zonghai continued fishing and drinking. At 1:10 in the morning, he became dizzy due to drinking too much. He lost his footing and fell into the water. Because he was drunk, he could not climb out by himself, so he drowned. "

Lu Ming looked at several teammates: "Looking at Zhao Zonghai's overall information, I think that if we are the planners and have the ability to control people's choices to a certain extent, then in order to achieve the ultimate goal, do This kind of plan has the highest success rate, the highest reliability, and the simplest and fastest way. I will most likely choose this option."

Zhang Dingshan said: "Everyone can also think about it again and see if there is a better plan."

At this stage, we are predicting the plan of the possible manipulator. We have reason to believe that the manipulator has rich experience in doing this kind of thing. In this case, he can probably easily determine what the optimal plan is and ultimately implement that optimal plan.

What we are looking for is also the best solution.

The four people had a discussion, discussed the plan to achieve the ultimate goal from various details, and tried to achieve this goal through other paths. But in the end, they all found that although the other plans can also be achieved, they will involve more people and the operation difficulty will increase accordingly.

"This should be the plan."

Zhang Dingshan finally made a judgment: "In this case, the four key figures, including Zhao Zonghai, should be monitored in as much detail as possible.

It is necessary to clarify the scope of their activities, set up surveillance forces in every possible place, and monitor their every move and even every word as much as possible. At the same time, we must pay attention to being hidden and not being discovered by key people, especially the manipulator behind the scenes who may also be monitoring these key people. "

It's difficult to do this. At least the security officers of the local police department do not have this ability. But it doesn't matter. Operations Team 2 can mobilize well-trained guards.

"Zhao Zonghai, Zhao Zongshan, Wu Hong, and Horford are four key figures. Each of them has formed a professional surveillance team. I am in charge of Wu Hong and Horford, He Wei, you are in charge of Zhao Zonghai, and Lu Ming, you are in charge of Zhao Zongshan."

"yes."

The two of them agreed together.

Because Zhao Zongshan was in another city, Lu Ming had to set off overnight again and arrived in the middle of the night. After waiting for two hours, a professional security team of more than 60 people also arrived.

After meeting with the person in charge and informing them of the specific surveillance content, target information and characteristics, as well as action points, the more than 60 people immediately started work. Lu Ming stayed in the remote monitoring room, commanded and monitored operations remotely in real time, and was ready to deal with emergencies at any time.

More than 60 professionals, coupled with a variety of advanced equipment, are used to monitor an ordinary person, which is enough to detect whether the person turned over several times during the night, snored several times, or talked in his sleep. Got it crystal clear. At the same time, who is around him, what interactions occur, and who behaves suspiciously cannot escape their eyes.

Under this situation, Lu Ming saw Zhao Zonghai's brother, Zhao Zongshan, having breakfast that morning and riding his electric bike to the construction site again to meet with the owner of the decoration company.

The entire process was closely monitored by guards. However, Zhao Zongshan is not the core of surveillance. What the guards and Lu Ming were most concerned about was what was unusual about the environment Zhao Zongshan was in. For example, are there other people following him?

Zhao Zongshan came to a rough house where the decoration team had not yet started, and met the owner of the decoration company there. After a while, Zhao Zongshan's angry voice came from the monitor: "I quit!"

"Do you want to do it or not? If not, leave!"

The owner of the decoration company sounded even more angry than him.
