Chapter 356: Investigation Direction

Jiang Yuan, Mu Zhiyang, Liu Jinghui, and others walked out of Ma Zhongli's house gate together, braving the scorching sun.

They arrived in the afternoon, had dinner, and went to see the bodies. By now, it was almost afternoon again, which meant they had worked for a full day and night.

Everyone was a bit tired, but their spirits were still high.

By the car, Mu Zhiyang asked: "Where are we going next?"

"The investigation should be considered complete." Jiang Yuan looked at Liu Jinghui. Since he was a senior official from the provincial department, he had to be given a certain amount of respect.

Liu Jinghui thought about it and said: "I also feel there are enough clues. The criminal suspect can't just jump out all of a sudden. So next, it's a matter of screening and searching. Shall we go to the Chiyong City Bureau, meet with people, and talk about the situation?"

"Then the others can rest."

Jiang Yuan brought a group of people out for the convenience of investigation, but they weren't needed now.

Liu Jinghui didn't mind and just said: "Mu Zhiyang can come along; he can help run errands."

"Alright." Mu Zhiyang agreed super quickly.

The case had a lead; if he wasn't active now, was he afraid the credit would be too heavy later?

When Jiang Yuan's group arrived at the Chiyong City Bureau, the Chiyong City Bureau's investigation meeting was in progress.

Liu Zhengwei greeted the detachment leader and hurried out to welcome them, bringing only Yuan Ben with him.

After a cordial handshake, Liu Zhengwei's expression was still relaxed, and he asked with a smile: "I heard there are new clues again?"

"Yes, we have a small inference," Jiang Yuan said. The safe was a guess, and the way to open the safe was also a guess, so naturally, it had to be stated as an inference.

Liu Zhengwei acted happy and smiled: "Then you have to tell me."

Liu Jinghui had been "guiding" investigation work in various states and counties for many years, so he started simply: "We found traces similar to a micro-safe at the scene. The length and width were also similar to a micro-safe. We asked the woman's relatives and best friends and confirmed that she indeed had a micro-safe. Now the safe is not at the scene, so we suspect the perpetrator took it."

Liu Zhengwei nodded. This was still the train of thought of home invasion robbery. Regarding this point, Liu Zhengwei now also had a little doubt.

In the conference room just now, the train of thought of criminal police Old Feng was also very persuasive. Looking at several extermination cases that occurred in recent years, the most common motive for rural extermination cases was still emotion, or rather, emotional reasons.

The main reason was family conflict. Jiang Yuan's judgment was home invasion robbery, with the motive of money rather than people. Liu Zhengwei said a calm type of criminal police: "I have studied several extermination cases that occurred in recent years. Almost without exception, the criminal suspects have a relative or kinship relationship with the victim's family, and the reason for the perpetrator's killing is mostly family disputes." Everyone listened quite seriously.

Including the detachment leader. After the speech ended, he also praised: "Old Feng has studied it seriously. Indeed, the perpetrator killed four people in one go. This case is too big. A simple purpose of invading property doesn't quite fit common sense."

"In this way, Old Feng, you take your squadron and continue to dig along the line of kinship."

A dilemma encountered by the Chiyong City criminal police is that many investigation directions have actually been investigated before, and no clues were found. Now, re-verifying whether there can be a breakthrough is still hard to say.

However, no matter how difficult, the work had to be distributed.

The detachment leader arranged as best he could. By this time, everything was difficult, and the cost of solving the case was not even in the scope of consideration.

But regarding solving the case, he still didn't have much confidence.

Liu Jinghui is such a shrewd person, and having been a veteran investigator for 20 years, he could tell in a heartbeat that Political Commissar Liu's attitude had changed.

When dealing with criminal suspects, police officers use tricks and deception, but in real life, they are actually a bit too lazy to operate that way.

Liu Jinghui explained what he had discussed with Jiang Yuan before, which made Liu Zhengwei nod repeatedly.

"This is indeed a train of thought."

Liu Zhengwei agreed and said: "In this way, I will report to the detachment leader first."

"We'll go back first."

Liu Jinghui didn't want to have a conflict either. Everyone was here to do things. He just gave an extra reminder: "I don't know what the policy is here in Chiyong. If the steel cylinder is registered, it should be easier to check. But no matter what, the screening must be carried out as soon as possible. Otherwise, even if clues are found, the perpetrator might have run away."

Liu Zhengwei nodded repeatedly.

Liu Jinghui pulled Jiang Yuan and turned to leave.

Liu Zhengwei returned to the conference room and explained the conversation just now in detail.

The people in the conference room who were discussing Old Feng's train of thought suddenly became quiet.

The detachment leader hesitated for a moment.

He gave an "en" and said: "What he said also makes sense." Everyone else in the conference room didn't object for a while.

Guessing an investigation direction is easy, but firmly heading toward a certain investigation direction is actually not to be doubted.

Not long after, the police officers of the Chiyong City Criminal Police Detachment poured out of the nest, taking the district as a unit, and went everywhere to ask about individuals who had used or purchased gas cutting equipment recently.

This is a meticulous job, and also a hard job.

Hundreds of police officers were scattered, and it took a day and a half to run through all the outlets in Chiyong City, but the results were not optimistic.

To explain in three words, it was "none"!

"It seems this train of thought is also a dead end."

The detachment leader invited Jiang Yuan and Liu Jinghui to the meeting and showed the investigation results to both of them.

To Jiang Yuan, it felt a bit like "it's all because the enemy is too cunning."

Everyone entered the discussion of the investigation direction again.

Jiang Yuan closed his eyes and carefully recalled all the details of this case.

To be honest, the difficulty of this case is not in searching for information; information is excessive.

The key to the problem is how to narrow the scope and find the traces of the perpetrator.

"I suggest continuing to screen the counties and towns around Chiyong City." This time, Jiang Yuan didn't wait for them to discuss a result and insisted on the previous resolution.

The detachment leader hesitated and said: "This scope is quite large."

"I know."

Jiang Yuan's voice was very clear.

He also knew the pressure this detachment leader was facing, but solving cases was originally like this.

Extermination case, where is there an easy way to catch the criminal? ===== CHAPTER 357 =====

To explain it in three words: "There isn't any!"

"It seems this line of reasoning is also a dead end."

The detachment captain invited Jiang Yuan and Liu Jinghui to attend the meeting to show them the results of the investigation.

To Jiang Yuan, it felt a bit like the sentiment, "It's all because the enemy is too cunning."

The group once again entered into a discussion about the direction of the investigation.

Jiang Yuan closed his eyes, carefully recalling every detail of the case.

Honestly speaking, the difficulty of this case does not lie in searching for information; information is in surplus.

The key to the problem is how to narrow the scope and find the killer's trail.

"I suggest we continue to screen the counties and towns around Chiyong City." This time, Jiang Yuan did not wait for them to reach a conclusion and continued to insist on the previous resolution.

The detachment captain hesitated for a moment and said, "That scope is quite large."

"I know."

Jiang Yuan's voice was very clear.

He also knew the pressure this detachment captain was facing, but solving cases is just like that.

In a mass murder case, where is there ever an easy arrest?
