Chapter 53: Can Solve the Case

After lunch.

Wei Zhenguo took people and slowly came to the Criminal Police Detachment of Changyang City.

The Criminal Police Detachment of Changyang City, the provincial capital, is a large unit, with multiple criminal police brigades under it, and its level is the same as the Criminal Police Brigade of Ningtai County. The Criminal Science and Technology Center under its jurisdiction is also brigade-sized. Its laboratory scale is the largest and has the most types. In terms of quantity alone, it is several times that of the Provincial Department.

At the same time, the Changyang City Criminal Police Detachment also has its own office building, a large building with a total of 12 floors, which naturally carries a taste that small police stations cannot climb.

Inside the building.

Small conference room.

The air conditioner was buzzing, protesting that there were too many people in the room.

The chairs moved in temporarily were piled up in a mess, occupying the space. Even the spider plants on the windowsill were moved away, leaving only a few leaves scattered loosely on the ground, helplessly like a few crayfish being cleaned.

At this time, more than a dozen criminal police officers were sitting. The most conspicuous one was sitting near the door, with a big back head, and the hair color was dark and shiny with two bars and three stars.

Everyone came in and saw this one, and they would be shocked, feeling that this one was extraordinary—this age and this level were indeed very extraordinary.

Jiang Yuan entered the door, and his eyes couldn't help but wander on his big back head and shirt.

Other criminal police officers mostly had short hair that was easy to manage, and their shirts were messy and a bit dirty, while this one, the hairstyle was meticulous, and the shirt was clean and spotless. This felt like a hairless cat squatting among a group of long-haired cats, and it always felt strange somewhere.

"Everyone is here, let me introduce to you, this is the third-level senior police officer of the Criminal Investigation Bureau of our Provincial Department, Gao Qiang. Fourth-level senior police officer, Liu Jinghui." Sitting inside was the detachment captain of the Criminal Police Detachment, Yu Wenshu. Seeing Jiang Yuan and the others arrive, he immediately began to introduce.

Liu Jinghui was the young hairless cat with a big back head. He stood up politely and nodded to everyone.

Gao Qiang beside him was ordinary, about forty years old, and the clothes on his body were dirty without personality.

Criminal Police Detachment Captain Yu Wenshu introduced Wei Zhenguo and Jiang Yuan and others again.

Wei Zhenguo stood up very socially, apologized to everyone, and said: "The road conditions are not very familiar, and I might have come slowly, making everyone wait for a long time."

"It's okay, we calculated the time and came over," Yu Wenshu ended the topic with one sentence, and then began to introduce the criminal police officers of this team.

In a small conference room, criminal police officers from three levels gathered, making everyone realize that the case must have had a major change.

Within the police system, the relationship between the Provincial Department, the City Bureau, and the County Bureau is not a subordinate relationship, but only a business guidance relationship. This is similar to agencies such as the Department of Agriculture, the Department of Finance, or the Education Bureau.

The County Education Bureau must listen to the business instructions of the City Education Bureau, but when it comes to important issues such as personnel and financial power, the County Education Bureau listens to the County Government, and the City Education Bureau listens to the City Government, and they do not belong to each other.

Similarly, the Criminal Police Brigade of the County Bureau also listens to the County Bureau and the County Government in terms of personnel rights, and its business is also independent of the Criminal Police Detachment of the City Bureau. The Criminal Police Detachment of the City Bureau has its own criminal police brigade, and can only command its own criminal police brigade. When it comes to the County Bureau, it can at most supervise or provide business guidance.

When it comes to the Criminal Investigation Bureau or the Criminal Investigation Corps of the Provincial Department, its nature has not changed much, but the business component is less. The vast majority of provincial criminal investigation bureaus do not handle cases themselves, and the criminal investigation bureau is just an ordinary department within the Provincial Department.

However, such a concentrated provincial criminal investigation bureau, its internal personnel, not to mention that everyone is a master and expert, but those who can be sent to supervise the case are definitely not simple.

The participation of the Provincial Criminal Investigation Bureau also made the excitement of the criminal police officers present continue to accumulate.

"Next, I will read to you the relevant documents of the 326 disappearance case, now called the 326 kidnapping and homicide case, and the arrangement for reorganizing the special task force... The leader of the special task force is held by me, and the deputy leaders are Gao Qiang and Liu Jinghui respectively..." Yu Wenshu's responsibilities in the City Bureau are equivalent to Huang Qiangmin's responsibilities in the County Bureau, but the platform is 100 times larger.

Wei Zhenguo, deputy captain of the Sixth Squadron of the Criminal Investigation Brigade of Ningtai County Bureau, and Jiang Yuan and others had no chance to perform at the meeting presided over by Yu Wenshu, only listening to him read documents and speak.

It took nearly 10 minutes for Yu Wenshu to pull the topic back: "According to expert research and judgment, it is initially believed that the 326 kidnapping and homicide case, the main culprit Tan Yong, participated in more than one homicide case."

Woo woo woo.

The sound was the sound of an electric fan.

Everyone was very calm.

Seeing that people from the Provincial Department appeared, it was like digging out a man wearing your clothes from the wardrobe in the bedroom. He couldn't be here to repair the air conditioner.

Similarly, if the Tan Yong case only killed one person, the Provincial Department would send two people, wouldn't it be redundant.

"Director Liu, you say it." Yu Wenshu gave up the position.

"I'll say it here," Liu Jinghui stood up and said: "The 326 homicide case has several suspicious points. First, the main culprit Tan Yong claimed that he kidnapped Ding Lan because he failed to pursue love and was angry. His purpose was to throw her to the side of the highway to scare her, and then he was impulsive again, developing into rape... After rape, he wanted to take Ding Lan back to his house to kill and bury the corpse, but because of Ding Lan's begging, it turned into digging a basement to imprison her."

Liu Jinghui scanned the surroundings with sharp eyes and said slowly: "The most unreasonable place here is that Tan Yong took Ding Lan back to Changyang City. From Ningtai to Changyang City, he had to pass through toll stations and random inspections. Taking such a big risk just to take Ding Lan back to his vacant house to kill and bury the corpse is not reasonable. In the process of Tan Yong's confession, he must have concealed the key points."

Liu Jinghui looked at the reactions of the criminal police officers around him and continued: "Tan Yong is in engineering, knows how to use engineering vehicles, has familiar construction sites, and has many choices for abandoning corpses. He claimed to dig a basement to bury the corpse, and only decided to turn from burying the corpse to digging a basement because of Ding Lan's begging and active service... Is the difficulty and risk of doing this greater than burying the corpse in the wild or at a construction site? Is it necessary? Especially since digging the basement requires some machinery, it is not easy for Tan Yong to transport it specially..."

"In addition. Tan Yong committed at least four crimes, including the female corpse we dug out from the basement, who was also a prostitute. The subsequent three kidnappings of prostitutes did not leave much evidence, proving that his thinking was relatively meticulous. Why would such a person leave fingerprint evidence on Ding Lan's bicycle?"

Liu Jinghui looked at Jiang Yuan here.

Jiang Yuan looked at Liu Jinghui curiously. This was his first time participating in a special task force.

"What is Director Liu's inference?" Yu Wenshu knew that Liu Jinghui liked reasoning, and at the same time, he proved his strength in the Criminal Investigation Bureau with multiple reasoning, so he didn't go to challenge his "authority" at all.

Liu Jinghui looked around, seeing no one responding, he felt a little disappointed, raised his chin slightly, and said: "I tend to think that Tan Yong told part of the truth."

"You say." Yu Wenshu cooperated.

Liu Jinghui nodded with satisfaction and said: "First, leaving fingerprints shows that Tan Yong kidnapping Ding Lan might indeed be an impulsive act, but it is not a random crime. Because choosing Ding Lan as a kidnapping target is not as convenient as a prostitute. He could have completely chosen a target randomly in the provincial capital to complete his crime."

Liu Jinghui paused slightly and then said: "At the same time, Ding Lan's particularity as the first imprisoned female in the basement can indeed explain why he changed from burying the corpse to digging a basement and imprisonment."

Some people nodded, but most people were still calm. Liu Jinghui said here, it was just ordinary reasoning. Many people present could do it—it's just that most of the majority of people didn't dare to say it publicly so firmly.

Liu Jinghui enjoyed squinting his eyes. The place he liked most about reasoning was the power that erupted from calm.

After a simple description of the case, Liu Jinghui spat out the word he had stored for a long time:

"However! All these answers cannot explain why Tan Yong had to return to Changyang City!"

Liu Jinghui's suddenly raised voice attracted everyone's attention.

Several criminal police officers couldn't help but frown and think.

"Indeed, he could abandon the corpse on the spot, or go to the construction site he was familiar with, or even go to other counties and cities, but he shouldn't have returned to Changyang," a criminal police officer from the Changyang City Criminal Police Detachment pondered and said, and added: "He is a person who runs outside frequently, so he should have seen the road inspections in the provincial capital."

"That's right. The engineering company Tan Yong belongs to is under the Road and Bridge Group. It has businesses all over the province and also builds various highways, national highways, various toll stations, and inspection stations... So, he chose Changyang City, and there must be a very hard reason," Liu Jinghui said his inference and said: "I think Tan Yong has a familiar, verified corpse abandonment plan."

The criminal police officer who just spoke asked: "Maybe he just happened to think that a certain construction site in Changyang City was suitable? Like digging a pit?"

"Risking being caught halfway, driving more than 100 kilometers?" Liu Jinghui shook his head firmly: "If it's just a hypothesis or guess, it's not enough for a cautious engineering person to make such a decision. If it's not a verified corpse abandonment plan, if it's not because he used it and felt it was good, Tan Yong's most correct choice should be the construction site in Ningtai County. The local construction site Tan Yong is responsible for should be more convenient and less likely to be exposed than him going to the construction site in Changyang City that others are responsible for, right."

This is a very persuasive reasoning, and the questioning criminal police officer had to nod.

"Only with a verified corpse abandonment method would Tan Yong firmly risk being discovered on the road and return directly to Changyang City after the case. I suggest immediately interrogating Tan Yong, using Ding Lan as a breakthrough, and asking about his corpse abandonment method," Liu Jinghui said firmly and confidently.

A group of people could only listen quietly.

At this time, Yu Wenshu said: "Then follow Director Liu's arrangement and interrogate Tan Yong again. Let him think that he has a homicide case on his back, so it will be easier to speak. Director Liu, is that what you mean."

Liu Jinghui said: "That's right. Another thing, I think we can also ask what Tan Yong specifically did during the period after kidnapping Ding Lan. Since he decided to increase the crime, why didn't he go back to dispose of the bicycle? Did he forget, or did something else happen? I personally infer that he should have been delayed by something."

"Okay. Then that's it," the detachment captain made the final decision, and this matter was settled. And the Provincial Department also played a significant role.

Liu Jinghui smiled reservedly at everyone, waited for the detachment captain to finish, and left the small conference room first.

Jiang Yuan watched the shiny big back head disappear, walked out of the conference room, and went to a place with fewer people. He couldn't help but turn to look at Wei Zhenguo and asked: "Is this okay?"

Wei Zhenguo smiled as expected and said: "Does it feel very powerful?"

Jiang Yuan whispered: "He has no evidence at all!"

Yes, judging by Jiang Yuan's "many years" of forensic experience, the first thing he noticed was that Liu Jinghui was talking about reasoning, or speculation, or inference throughout the meeting, but the only thing he didn't say was evidence.

Wei Zhenguo looked left and right and said: "So, Director Liu is most famous for his reasoning style. He doesn't care about evidence, he always relies on reasoning to solve the case, and then lets other police officers run for evidence."

From school to work, Jiang Yuan's head was full of evidence and evidence. Now hearing Wei Zhenguo's introduction of Liu Jinghui, he was speechless and couldn't help but say: "Is this okay?"

"Senior police officer of the Provincial Department, people can solve the case however they want," Wei Zhenguo pulled Jiang Yuan away and emphasized: "The key is that people can solve the case." ===== CHAPTER 54 =====
