Police officer Chen Shu

Chapter 485 Kidnapping Case

Upon entering the police station, Lin Dakai and Lao Cheng discussed matters, focusing on the significance and purpose of the police station for Nxjiang's public security work.

Chen Shu didn't want to hear about these things.

Looking around, the first thing I saw was the familiar "Mediation Room". I walked over and looked inside, and saw several people sitting there. It seemed they were mediating a dispute.

Besides the mediation room, there is a household registration service point with female police officers on duty to the right of the entrance. Upon inquiry, it was discovered that temporary ID cards, entry and exit permits, and even driver's licenses can be reissued in other places at the station.

Chen Shu had to admire the efficiency of integrating traffic police matters into the police station.

To the left of the mediation room, there is an office with a small sign that reads "Warm Heart Station". Inside, four or five sanitation workers in orange uniforms are sitting, drinking tea and taking a break. Next to the sofa is a bookshelf filled with magazines and newspapers.

This police station is actually a miniature version of a police station, and it's quite cozy.

Chen Shu wanted to go upstairs to take a look, but seeing that Lin Dakai and the others were downstairs, he felt embarrassed to go upstairs alone.

"Hahaha!" Lao Cheng seemed quite happy, judging from his voice, they must have been talking about some interesting topics. "Professor Lin, it might be difficult to find a public toilet here, but a police station is only a few hundred meters away, and it's staffed 24 hours a day!"

"So if you're in a really urgent situation, you might as well go to the roadside police station to take care of your personal matters. Of course, this is not highly recommended, since you still have to go through security checks once you get inside, and you might not have enough time."

Everyone laughed, outwardly treating it as just a joke.

As Lao Cheng chuckled, his voice deepened: "Ke Shi City is the safest city, just because there are so many police stations and patrol cars on the streets; Ke Shi City is also the most unsafe city, just because there are so many police stations and patrol cars on the streets."

"."

The group's investigation at the police station concluded quickly, and they proceeded to the local police station as planned. Fortunately, there was one in an alley behind the police station, so, led by Lao Cheng, they went to the nearest police station.

As soon as I stepped into the duty hall of the police station, I heard some noisy noises coming from inside.

"Officer! My son has been kidnapped! You must arrest him!" A middle-aged woman grabbed a policeman's hand tightly and stared into his eyes as she shouted.

"Okay, okay. We will definitely investigate. You can go back and wait for our notification." The burly policeman advised kindly, his large, windproof ears quite eye-catching.

"Officer! The officers from the police station ahead advised me that it's good that my son is back and we didn't lose any money, and told me to just go back! I feel like they definitely won't help arrest them, so I can only beg you. I heard you're a criminal investigator, someone who specializes in catching criminals, so you must catch these bad guys!" The woman kept asking the police to arrest the people.

The big-eared policeman nodded: "Don't worry, I'll definitely investigate thoroughly when I get back!"

Seeing that the police officer seemed quite sincere, the woman took her son and left the police station.

"Hey, Captain Zhao, busy?" Lao Cheng greeted him.

The policeman turned around and was surprised to see that it was Zhao, the team leader from the Criminal Investigation Department, who had previously interacted with Chen Shu and others in the forensic laboratory.

Team Leader Zhao turned around and saw a familiar face. His eyes lit up and he immediately walked over. Since Lin Dakai was also there, whom he was meeting for the first time, the two exchanged polite introductions.

After the introductions, Lao Cheng and Wang Hao led Lin Da to the institute's conference room, having already informed the institute beforehand. Considering the frequent comings and goings of people at the institute, they decided to hold the meeting in the conference room.

Chen Shu, who was following behind the group, was grabbed by Captain Zhao: "Officer Chen, do you have a moment? I need to talk to you about something."

Chen Shu was getting a little tired of the research meeting and asked curiously, "Team Leader Zhao, just tell me what's wrong. I'll definitely help if I can." Team Leader Zhao was overjoyed and quickly pulled a file folder from his pocket and handed it to Chen Shu, then pulled him into an empty interrogation room next door.

Julie and Jiang Hai, who were walking ahead, looked at each other. One was wondering if there were any fresh corpses, and the other was wondering if they could solve another case. They turned around at the same time and followed each other into the interrogation room.

"Officer Chen, I've confirmed the suspect's identity, but we just can't find him. Do you have any ideas?" Captain Zhao asked anxiously, speaking quickly.

Chen Shuyi figured that Lin Dakai would be having a long exchange meeting with the police officers from the police station, and since he had nothing else to do, he agreed.

After sitting down, Chen Shu took out the documents from the file folder and began to look at them one by one.

Julie and Jiang Hai were reluctant to leave the interrogation room, so they moved their chairs to a corner and chatted quietly, looking quite interested.

About half an hour later, Chen Shu looked up as if to say something, but found Zhao's eyes shining as he stared at him. He felt a little embarrassed and said, "Zhao, I'm just rambling. You can take it as a reference, but the specifics are up to you."

"You say it, you say it!"

Chen Shu coughed, pulled out a transcript from the files, pointed to a line of text, and began to explain: "Captain Zhao, the key to this kidnapping case is here."

"What kidnapping case? Isn't it a murder case?" Captain Zhao leaned over, glanced at the transcript in Chen Shu's hand, and immediately slapped himself in the face.

"Officer Chen, I'm sorry, I took the wrong documents."

With an awkward smile, Captain Zhao pulled the kidnapping case record he had previously obtained from the police station from Chen Shu's hand and stuffed it back into the file bag. He then took out another copy from his pocket and pushed it over: "This is the correct one."

Chen Shu waved his hand: "It's nothing, it's nothing. I didn't hear what you said clearly before. I thought it was the kidnapping case you were talking about when you were standing at the door."

"Wait!" Captain Zhao suddenly realized what was happening and quickly put the murder case file back into his pocket, then took out the kidnapping case file from it and placed it on the table.

"Officer Chen, you're saying this is really a kidnapping case? You have leads that allow you to arrest the person?" Captain Zhao's eyes widened, his voice rising uncontrollably. "Look at the statement; there's nothing useful. The victim was just a child; there's no way he could provide any valuable clues!"

Chen Shu: "I worked in the police station for a few years and I know what the police officers taking statements are thinking. No one asked the family for money, and the son couldn't tell a coherent story when he came home. The guy taking the statement must be trying to downplay the seriousness of the matter, so he avoided mentioning the important issues in the statement."

"Although the money was not lost and the child was returned, the nature of the kidnapping has not changed."

Team Leader Zhao touched his nose, somewhat embarrassed: "Well, I'll arrange for someone to check the surveillance footage from that time when I get back to the team."

Chen Shu shook his head: "Since the police officer in this station made such a statement, he must have checked the surveillance footage. Either he didn't find anything suspicious on the footage, or the workload was too heavy and it would take a lot of time to investigate, and they didn't have the energy for it."

"Then what do you mean?"

Chen Shu pointed to a line in the transcript and said, "Look here, the victim said that during the time he was being held captive, he was always wearing a hood and had his hands tied behind his back with transparent tape. The tape was only removed when he ate or went to the toilet, and then it had to be put back on. This went on for several days and nights."

He paused, then turned a few pages and pointed to another passage: "When they let him go, he was still wearing a hood and his hands were tied. They took him away in a car and dumped him outside the town."

The words are the same, the content is the same, so why do different people draw such different conclusions?
Team Leader Zhao stroked his chin, somewhat bewildered.
