Chapter 320

~10 min read 1,936 words

As soon as the sun set, the temperature dropped.

The police officers in the office who should get off work did so, and those who just had a meal went to have a meal. Without waiting for any new ideas, new orders, or new meetings from above, seven or eight out of ten had already left. The remaining ones were notified by Yu Wenshu not to go back yet and to work overtime as usual.

Shen Yaoguo ran quietly to the Criminal Police Detachment, entered the door, and found Yu Wenshu and Jiang Yuan. Regardless of what they were discussing, he first asked: "Is there progress in the case?"

"Yes." Jiang Yuan nodded.

"What's the specific situation? Did you catch the person?" Shen Yaoguo asked in a low voice.

"You don't know?" Yu Wenshu's eyes glanced outside.

Shen Yaoguo laughed twice and said: "I couldn't possibly sabotage my own brother. I already said that I don't need him to tell me the progress of the case; I ask other people."

Yu Wenshu nodded, half-believing, and regardless of who he asked, he then recounted a few sentences of the newly learned case situation to Shen Yaoguo.

Shen Yaoguo listened carefully, and only when he heard the final Zhang Xiang did he say with some surprise: "Jianyuan's parking lot security guard? This Jianyuan Pharmaceutical is going a bit too far, isn't it?"

Jiang Yuan asked back: "What do they need this kind of parking lot security guard for?"

"To resolve conflicts or create conflicts. By the way, to distance themselves." Shen Yaoguo recalled and said: "In the early years, Jianyuan Pharmaceutical expanded and there was land acquisition. At that time, the contradictions were more prominent, so they learned to get some people. In recent years, it's mainly using these people to handle logistics and transportation."

Shen Yaoguo said, and then added: "You haven't eaten, have you? I ordered a few dishes, let's eat together and talk while we eat."

It's actually just dinner time now. Shen Yaoguo took out a large stack of boxes and opened them; they were very beautiful Japanese-style meal boxes.

"There's eel rice, beef rice, and for cooked food, there's grilled eel, grilled beef, grilled vegetables, and grilled fish. For raw food, there are several kinds of sashimi and sauces; choose what you like." Shen Yaoguo said as he took a portion of eel rice for himself and added: "I recommend the eel rice, live-killed eel, two pieces in a bowl of rice."

"Quite fancy." Yu Wenshu didn't stand on ceremony and took a portion of beef rice, opening it and eating without waiting for others.

By the time he finished eating, Shen Yaoguo had just finished the distribution work for everyone. He looked at Yu Wenshu helplessly and said: "You just didn't want to eat with me, did you?"

"You guys in public security have too many tricks." Yu Wenshu wiped his mouth and said: "Now we are actually just waiting to catch this Zhang Xiang. If we catch him, everything is easy to talk about; if we can't catch him, the case will be deadlocked again."

Yu Wenshu looked at Shen Yaoguo when he said the last sentence. The so-called "again" is similar to Shen Yaoguo's "again."

The reason this case became a cold case was that it was in Shen Yaoguo's hands. When it was done to the last step, only the step of catching the person remained, the main suspect ran away, thereby leaving hidden dangers.

But unlike the last time, this time it was Jiang Yuan who did the case to this step. If there are problems in the future, it should be Jiang Yuan's problem, not Shen Yaoguo's problem.

It's equivalent to a hidden danger transfer technique.

Moreover, looking at it now, it seems that it doesn't matter if Jiang Yuan leaves a tail to a case. He solves seven or eight cold cases a year, plus a larger number of current cases; what does it matter if one case has some problems?

But eight years later, things will be hard to say. At that time, Jiang Yuan might face the same distress. Of course, the premise is that he also got the investigation direction wrong.

Getting the investigation direction wrong is not strange; just correct it in time. In the process of solving a case, changing the investigation direction is a very common thing. But if you leave a tail, saying the case has been solved and only pursuit remains, then this investigation direction will be extra scrutinized.

Yu Wenshu was therefore not too happy, threw the beef rice box away, and said: "If this case is solved, then it's solved. If it's not solved, Branch Chief Shen, you have to compensate our Jiang Yuan."

The hidden danger is likely a matter of several years later; Yu Wenshu originally didn't have to worry so much for the rented Jiang Yuan. But this matter will sooner or later be known by Huang Qiangmin, and the latter will naturally explain it to Jiang Yuan.

Yu Wenshu was afraid that Jiang Yuan would be unhappy and either quit or use the detachment's resources to fight this case to the end. No matter which choice, he, Yu Wenshu, would be the one to pay the bill.

Thinking of this, Yu Wenshu's unhappiness increased by several layers.

Shen Yaoguo laughed a few times and immediately agreed. Anyway, his hidden danger was basically cleared. As for bleeding a little, he didn't care much.

Several people ate while waiting for news.

Not long after, news came back.

"Zhang Xiang's social security is still being paid at Jianyuan Pharmaceutical. He is at the branch in Changyang City and is already the deputy manager of the branch's warehousing department." Wang Chuanxing's report made several people in the office a little surprised.

"Still at Jianyuan Pharmaceutical, surprisingly." Shen Yaoguo said to himself: "This Jianyuan Pharmaceutical has something, being able to keep a person for so long."

"Can parking fees feed him full?" Yu Wenshu also said.

"I'll check them out properly later." Shen Yaoguo "hummed." For these large enterprises, he also has many ways.

Yu Wenshu then didn't speak, only ordered: "Pay attention to safety when catching people, must be strictly deployed, can't let people run away. Is Ma Jiyang there?"

"Yes."

"Give him the phone, I'll tell him a few words." Yu Wenshu almost sent out all the criminal police of the detachment, it's just that the one currently nearby happens to be Ma Jiyang's brigade.

For the Criminal Police Detachment, dozens of people catching one person is not considered a waste. When searching the mountains, teams of thousands or tens of thousands of people are also pulled together as soon as they are needed.

In this regard, the Criminal Police Detachment never talks about cost-effectiveness.

In the office, silence returned. The criminal police at the front had probably already started to deploy tactics and arrange positions.

Jiang Yuan and the others couldn't do anything either.

Jiang Yuan suddenly understood at this moment why leaders like to listen to subordinates' reports so much.

The leader cannot see the battle situation on the front line, especially for important cases. He doesn't even know whether everyone has won or not. At this time, if someone can report the battle situation to him, how happy he would be. If the battle situation is still a victory, how happy he would be.

As for those who don't like to report and complain that their talents haven't been valued, they have likely never been noticed by the leader.

Fortunately, Jiang Yuan and the others didn't wait too long.

Wang Chuanxing was the first to report the battle results: "Team Jiang, the person has been caught. The suspect had resistance actions, including his three little brothers who were also arrested. We are on our way back now."

Everyone in the office breathed a sigh of relief.

After another minute or so, Ma Jiyang called Yu Wenshu, which can be considered timely, and the content of the report was more, and the details were more abundant, but with Wang Chuanxing in front, it seemed not diligent enough.

"This Wang Chuanxing of yours has some future." Shen Yaoguo took the opportunity to send a WeChat message to his cousin.

Shen Yaowei returned an emoji. Jiang Yuan's cold case special task force was about to solve another cold case, which made the atmosphere in the group seem even more tense.

According to the tradition of the Changyang City Criminal Police Detachment, a cold homicide case means the merit shop opens once, and everyone wants to seize such an opportunity.

If they leave Jiang Yuan's cold homicide special task force, or Jiang Yuan leaves Changyang City, the same opportunity might have to be exchanged with three years of running around.

"Let Wang Chuanxing and the others search carefully, pack all the knives, screwdrivers, and such things, and bring them back. Also, take photos and send them directly to me." Jiang Yuan only finished eating the sashimi and wiped his mouth at this moment, and also came over.

Shen Yaowei was right there, hurriedly responded, and called Wang Chuanxing.

Shen Yaoguo was a little confused and asked: "Are you trying to find the murder weapon?"

After eight years, Shen Yaoguo didn't think the murderer would still keep the murder weapon with him. In fact, the murderer still lingering in Changyang City had already made him quite curious about these parking lot security guards.

Jiang Yuan shook his head slightly and said: "When I went to the warehouse to look, someone used a knife to poke my car tire."

"And then... no, can you tell which knife poked it?" Shen Yaoguo was a little confused.

Jiang Yuan felt he could tell, but he didn't say it so fully, only saying: "I'll take a look first, maybe."

"The knife marks on the rubber tire and the knife marks on the corpse shouldn't be the same thing." Shen Yaoguo didn't say anything more after saying this. If people want to look, let them look; it has nothing to do with him.

Soon, Wang Chuanxing's phone call came back. Shen Yaowei received it, pressed the speakerphone, and immediately said: "I've turned on the speakerphone..."

Wang Chuanxing said "Oh," and immediately said: "I am sending the knife mark pictures to the backend. That, there are quite a lot of knives here."

"What do you mean?" Jiang Yuan was a little confused.

"This grandson seems to like collecting some cold weapons or something. Axes, halberds, swords, and spears, he has them all. There must be twenty or thirty knives. Should we bring them all back?" Wang Chuanxing was also frowning at the scene; the quantity was too large, and it would definitely be more difficult to identify.

Jiang Yuan didn't care: "Bring them all back, send photos when you have time."

Wang Chuanxing hurriedly agreed, hung up the phone, and hurriedly organized the photos.

Shen Yaoguo laughed on the side. If these thirty-plus knife marks were to be carefully identified one by one, wouldn't it be night? Would normal events still be done?

Fifteen minutes later, Jiang Yuan raised his head and said: "It's him."

Shen Yaoguo was stunned: "You confirmed the knife marks? Don't you need to chop and poke some gel or something to test it first?"

"Yes, looking at the blade is also fine..." Jiang Yuan looked at Shen Yaoguo strangely. He just wanted to compare a tire mark, and the mark was already in his mind, so naturally, he could easily find the correct one among the thirty-plus knives.
