Chapter 303
Shen Shen Yaowei took his new partner, called a familiar auxiliary police officer from the Public Security Detachment, and followed the route set by Jiang Yuan, sweeping through small hotels, homestays, farmhouses, and rental houses alley by alley.
Searching carefully, there were surprisingly many places to stay near a village. In the city, staying in hotels or homestays requires very strict registration, but in rural towns, this kind of registration is very superficial.
Fortunately, for their own safety, and for the sake of ensuring that the house is not sold privately by the front desk, the bosses are always actively installing various monitoring cameras, so checking people is not too difficult.
Shen Shen Yaowei was mainly investigating with the auxiliary police officer Wang Wang Zhibing he borrowed.
Unlike what ordinary people imagine, auxiliary police officers are already an indispensable member of police activities. Especially in grassroots departments, the establishment of auxiliary police officers has long become tight. 300 people taking one auxiliary police quota was like a story before, but later it became normal.
And auxiliary police officers who have done it for a long time, doing it for ten or twenty years, are also numerous. Now it seems that many people will probably do it until retirement.
And after doing it for a long time in any position, experience and knowledge will naturally accumulate. Those who are slightly smarter can master many unique skills.
Like this Wang Wang Zhibing he found, he knows the rental houses and small hotels in every street and every place in the responsible area like the back of his hand.
This is also a skill. It's not just the familiarity of walking through streets and alleys, but also having considerable affinity; otherwise, just updating the news of those small hotels and rental houses would make his knowledge useless.
"Boss, have you seen this person?" The three of them were wearing plain clothes and entered a homestay, called out the boss, and it was a burst of language output.
The output was also mainly completed by the auxiliary police officer Wang Wang Zhibing; he knew these bosses too well, the regular ones are regular, and the irregular ones are also quite irregular, so he asked for monitoring footage and adjusted it to the time of the crime to watch.
If the monitoring footage time was too short, he would call out several waiters to ask, and leave a business card for the other party. Asking one homestay took about half an hour.
After going out, Shen Shen Yaowei said helplessly: "Our efficiency is too slow."
"It's not slow, the one just now was a bit troublesome. If there was monitoring footage, or if there was a small ledger, or payment records, we would have finished checking in ten minutes. This kind of homestay doesn't have many guests coming in all day." Wang Wang Zhibing was also very familiar with investigating things.
Shen Shen Yaowei tightened his face: "So many homestays, small hotels, and this kind of second landlord rental houses, how many days will it take to check?"
"You don't want to check it all by yourself, do you?" Wang Wang Zhibing found it funny, and seeing Shen Shen Yaowei's expression was quite serious, he couldn't laugh anymore.
Shen Shen Yaowei asked: "Can't I?" Wang Wang Zhibing said: "Really can't."
"Then the three of us check separately, three times the speed, how many days can we finish?"
"Captain Shen, if the three of us separate, the things you check first cannot be used as evidence, because the chain of evidence is incomplete. At most, it can be used as a clue to solve the case, but such an important clue, and it's a homicide case, the procuratorate will definitely ask carefully. By then, don't be scolded instead of getting merit."
Shen Shen Yaowei was stunned; he was not completely unreasonable: "I haven't thought of this yet."
"Right. Actually, investigation is a job for three people. Normal homicide cases, if investigating this kind, must send five. If it's an important clue and the range is large, it's appropriate to send dozens or hundreds of people."
Auxiliary police officer Wang Wang Zhibing hadn't participated in many major cases. Based on the cases he participated in, a scale of a hundred people was the limit.
Of course, this is also related to the region. For example, in the capital cities of Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, if there is a homicide case that needs investigation, they can organize thousands of people in minutes.
Therefore, the regional choice of killing is also very important. Ancient fierce bandits liked to live in places where three counties meet, where two prefectures meet, and places where nine provinces connect; those all have criminological support. Modern society has changed. Generally speaking, choosing... right, the safety is higher, and the difficulty coefficient is lower.
Shen Shen Yaowei also tasted the flavor at this time
, saying: "Does it mean that the clue I'm following is a line of investigation?"
"You... don't know?" Wang Wang Zhibing looked at Shen Shen Yaowei.
Shen Shen Yaowei said speechlessly: "I have never followed a cold homicide case."
To be precise, he had never really entered the investigation link of a cold homicide case. In the past, cold homicide case task forces, once they really found clues, were all mobilized by the whole detachment. Even if Yu Yu Wenshu didn't preside, he would hang his name and pay attention.
There are also cases where cold homicide cases are relatively valued, and deputy bureau chiefs or even bureau chiefs hang their names.
In this level of special task force, Shen Shen Yaowei's little background couldn't be used at all, and no one would allow him to track a line of clues alone. What if he startled the snake?
Startling the snake is still okay; most cold homicide cases only have that one clue, and the white shirts wish they could sniff it themselves, so where would it be Shen Shen Yaowei's turn?
It is only in Jiang Yuan's cold case task force that one is that Jiang Yuan's level is too low, and the resources he can mobilize are too few—Yu Yu Wenshu bought him over, wanting this cost-effectiveness.
Another one is that Jiang Yuan's case-solving speed is too fast, and the leaders above haven't had time to hold a meeting to assign tasks, and a cold homicide case might have already been solved.
Later, Jiang Yuan's case-solving speed was also far beyond the speed the leaders cared about. Plus, the resources he mobilized were always at the detachment level, so there was no need to engage in expansion.
From this perspective, Shen Shen Yaowei had already received unprecedented importance.
"How about it? Are we continuing to check?" Shen Shen Yaowei rarely asked the police officer who was his partner.
The partner said: "If the two of us go back to find Jiang Yuan now, even if we send more people to check this line, can the two of us be commanders?"
Shen Shen Yaowei still had self-knowledge: "That definitely won't work, even if sent, no one will listen to us."
"Then that's it. Work hard to check, we have a separate line of clues to follow; if we don't work hard, then go back and continue sitting in the office."
"Hey... continue checking." Shen Shen Yaowei wanted to understand a bit.
The partner police officer was not surprised and said: "People calculated it, not afraid that we won't work." Shen Shen Yaowei said with shared hatred: "Didn't expect it, the one from the county is also so ruthless."
"The most ruthless thing is that Jiang Yuan has extra clues, throwing them to us like bones. In other cold homicide case task forces, this kind of bone, everyone can't even grab it."
"What you said..." Shen Shen Yaowei couldn't refute, thinking carefully, it really was this truth. Instead, auxiliary police officer Wang Wang Zhibing was a bit curious: "I was also thinking before, what other clues does he have?"
"Captain Jiang, on the image investigation side, all the main road monitors have been checked, and the deceased was not found."
Miao Miao Liyuan, the police officer who volunteered to go to the Image Investigation Detachment to check the monitoring, sent the conclusion of the clue Jiang Yuan was most looking forward to after one day.
But there was no result.
Jiang Yuan's brow wrinkled slightly: "The deceased didn't get on the main road?"
"We checked the monitoring from April 17 to 22, especially the monitoring on April 17, we checked it several times, and didn't find the deceased." Miao Miao Liyuan was also a bit disappointed.
In this case, if the deceased could be found, then his fellow passenger, even if not the murderer, could definitely provide a lot of information.
"In that case... we can only expand the range." Jiang Yuan pondered for a few seconds and made a decision. Miao Miao Liyuan said: "I checked very carefully."
Jiang Yuan said very firmly: "I didn't say you didn't check carefully, but not finding the deceased means they might have taken other routes, or happened to avoid the monitoring. Expand the range and look for it; if you really can't find it, then we'll talk."
Tang Jia, in the office, heard the conversation between the two and interjected: "Why is it that they happened to avoid the monitoring, not deliberately avoided it?"
"This case, judging from the situation of the body, I am more inclined to believe it was an accidental death after drunkenness. The deceased should have been choked by vomit." Jiang Yuan said and added: "The deceased also had no reason to be murdered."
"Is the reason for rape not enough?"
"The deceased was physically strong and showed no signs of resistance... and there was no need to kill after fencing. If it was rape, it would be at most indecent assault; there was no need to kill." Jiang Yuan paused and said: "I basically agree with the autopsy conclusion. If it was an accidental death, there was no need for the murderer to avoid monitoring when leaving initially."
Miao Miao Liyuan was convinced and could only desperately urge his brain to think. Jiang Yuan didn't urge him either.
After a good while, Miao Miao Liyuan whispered: "Could it be riding a motorcycle and taking a small road?" Jiang Yuan looked at Miao Miao Liyuan.
Miao Miao Liyuan said: "Locals use motorcycles quite a lot, and it's possible they wore helmets. Locals don't wear helmets much, but some motorcycles don't take main roads, just take small roads, maybe just bypassing the monitoring."
Jiang Yuan said: "It's possible, then in this situation, how to check?"
"Then we have to go to the scene and look at the roads one by one; some might be checked, some might not."
"Okay, I'll report to Captain Yu." Jiang Yuan said and took out his mobile phone.
Miao Miao Liyuan suddenly became unconfident and hurriedly said: "This also doesn't necessarily mean we can find something."
"Find it as completely as possible. Especially the few hours after the victim left home. As for resources, don't worry." Jiang Yuan said very firmly.
Although the original task force spent a lot of manpower on the investigation, their investigation mainly focused on the local area, assumed the first crime scene was also nearby, and thought the time of death was the day the victim went missing. Naturally, they wouldn't spend too much effort on the route and video of leaving.
Jiang Yuan's expectation for monitoring was still very high.
The monitoring system around Changyang City is relatively complete. If the victim or the murderer didn't deliberately avoid it, the probability of being filmed is very high.
Even if a lot of manpower and material resources were spent in the end and no one was found, it could also prove some things in reverse. Moreover, the routes of Shen Shen Yaowei and Miao Miao Liyuan were not the only two routes.
The Micro-Evidence Laboratory was also conducting a new round of testing at Jiang Yuan's request.
