Chapter 1075

~7 min read 1,320 words

"Brigade Captain Hao, hello, hello." Jiang Yuan looked at the support team that had lined up and stepped forward to shake hands.

"Team Leader Jiang, you can just call me Old Hao or Zhichao." Brigade Captain Hao looked to be just 40 years old. At this age in the Criminal Investigation Detachment, he was in his prime. He was Dai Mingsheng's most capable subordinate, and every time they supported a district or county, Brigade Captain Hao's Second Brigade was always sent to the places that needed the most hard work.

Jiang Yuan had already finished the work of solving the case, his emotional intelligence online, and he laughed as he called him "Brigade Captain Hao."

Brigade Captain Hao waved his hand helplessly and called the team members over to line up and salute. This situation was relatively rare. Although the police are a disciplined force, in less formal occasions, the solemnity is not quite as high as in the military.

As for what counts as a formal occasion, the simplest classification is an occasion where a white-shirted officer is present.

Brigade Captain Hao was now giving Jiang Yuan the treatment equivalent to a white-shirted officer, and after everyone saluted, he also saluted and said: "Team Leader Jiang, Lanyue City Criminal Investigation Detachment Second Brigade, 21 members expected, 21 members present, please give instructions!"

Jiang Yuan could only return the salute, then after some fuss, he brought Brigade Captain Hao to a corner.

After moving away from the crowd, Jiang Yuan said: "Brigade Captain Hao, I have a suspect now, and I need to bring the person back."

"No problem." Brigade Captain Hao knew his mission before he came.

Jiang Yuan signaled, and Wang Chuanxing next to him handed a printed document to Brigade Captain Hao.

Brigade Captain Hao took it out and looked, his pupils shrinking.

The document contained the profile information of one person, Li Yujing. Brigade Captain Hao, who was familiar with the Li Yaoji case, immediately remembered that this person was one of Li Yaoji's illegitimate children.

"Are we arresting him directly?" Brigade Captain Hao had a moment of hesitation, not out of doubt toward Jiang Yuan, but out of concern that the procedure might be illegal.

For a case like this, the subsequent investigation would certainly be very strict, especially since the Li Yaoji family had money and influence; they would certainly hire lawyers later, and questioning the procedure was inevitable. Although it might not have much of an impact, the fewer troubles, the better.

Jiang Yuan nodded and said firmly: "Li Yujing is very likely the killer in the Li Yaoji murder case."

"Uh... wait? How did it directly become... no, how did we get directly to the stage of arresting the killer?" Brigade Captain Hao's emotional management completely failed. What was he here for? He was here to assist Jiang Yuan and conduct preliminary work for the investigation of the Li Yaoji murder case.

That is to say, Huang Qiangmin had requested not to mobilize too many people for the time being, so they could start with the preliminary work. Detachment Chief Dai Mingsheng had reluctantly stopped the general mobilization, but he had given repeated instructions and sent over his most capable Brigade Captain Hao and the Second Brigade.

Based on Brigade Captain Hao's experience, he, having intervened in the case during the early investigation stage, should have expected to spend several months on the Li Yaoji case.

Of course, as long as the case could be solved, he was willing.

Even if it took longer, it wouldn't be a problem.

And bringing some people involved in the case back for questioning or interrogation during the early stage was also a normal investigation process.

What was abnormal was that Jiang Yuan pointed directly at Li Yujing as the killer in the Li Yaoji case!

Brigade Captain Hao stared blankly at Jiang Yuan, completely unaware of what was happening.

"I made this judgment after reconstructing the crime scene and sorting out the case," Jiang Yuan explained to Brigade Captain Hao.

Brigade Captain Hao still stood there blankly, motionless. By common sense, he should have just listened to the order, but since Jiang Yuan had already said Li Yujing was the killer, how could Brigade Captain Hao just turn around and leave?

Seeing this, Jiang Yuan said: "You must have quite a few questions, so shall we chat first?"

Brigade Captain Hao hesitated: "Will it affect the case?"

"No, Li Yujing shouldn't know he's been targeted yet." Jiang Yuan had also conducted investigations and surveillance on this side. In fact, they had already located Li Yujing, but it wasn't appropriate for the guest troops from Jiang Yuan's cold case task force to make the arrest directly.

Brigade Captain Hao, unable to suppress his curiosity, said: "Then can I understand it this way: you have already solved the Li Yaoji murder case?"

"Basically, yes." Jiang Yuan paused, then added: "But I still need you to bring the killer back for verification. In addition, we also need more evidence."

"Did someone leak information to you?" Brigade Captain Hao could only think of this reason. Using the meritorious service of existing criminals to gain merit was the most common tactic for everyone.

Jiang Yuan shook his head and said: "I haven't received any information about the Li Yaoji murder case yet. This case was mainly analyzed through technical means. As I just said, it started with the crime scene reconstruction..."

Brigade Captain Hao looked at Jiang Yuan with a blank expression.

"Shall I explain it to you in detail?" Jiang Yuan asked.

"It would be best if you could explain it." Brigade Captain Hao hesitated for two seconds and said: "Of course, it would be more appropriate for me to directly execute your orders, but this news is too shocking..."

"Understood." Jiang Yuan smiled, then began to give Brigade Captain Hao a rough explanation of his technical route.

Although Brigade Captain Hao, Hao Zhichao, didn't understand everything, he was deeply shocked.

Jiang Yuan also took the opportunity to sort out his thoughts and added: "Speaking of which, some of Li Yujing's stakeholders should also be monitored. In this case, it's hard to say whether Li Yujing had accomplices."

General murder cases are basically committed by a single person, especially those involving crimes of passion or revenge. But for murder committed for profit, especially under the prospect of huge profits, it is very likely that a group with common interests will be formed.

Li Yaoji was the actual controller of a large group company, and his every move could affect the lives of thousands of people. Naturally, his death would also cause huge changes in the lives of many people.

Correspondingly, the killer who chose to commit the murder, out of self-interest or profit maximization, might also take the initiative to seek help.

Brigade Captain Hao agreed and said: "If it's not urgent, we can first make a list and then arrest everyone."

"The list can be made, and we can just secretly prohibit them from leaving the country. I think we can prioritize arresting Li Yujing, arrest him secretly, and then take further action after I verify his footprints and other information." After all, Jiang Yuan had solved the case through photos, so verification was still needed. Otherwise, if there was any mistake in the on-site survey that day, and they went on to arrest dozens or hundreds of people, causing chaos, it would be troublesome.

"Resolutely execute." Brigade Captain Hao understood immediately. After speaking, he hesitated for a few seconds and said: "In that case, the Li Yaoji murder case is effectively solved. Should we notify the Detachment Chief?"

Huang Qiangmin walked over slowly at this time, his teeth shining as he spoke: "No rush. Let's confirm Li Yujing is the killer first. If something goes wrong, it won't be good for the subsequent progress of the case."
