Detective: Open your eyes, I am handcuffed in the interrogation room.

Chapter 472 After New Year's Day, Hongzhong Branch
The murder case was investigated by the branch bureau and guided by the Criminal Investigation Detachment of the Municipal Bureau. The two cooperated and finally identified the suspect in half a month and successfully arrested him.

The suspect is a woman.

The victim was a man.

Cases of women killing men have become rare in the past two years.

After reading the files, Chen Yi understood the difficulty of solving the case. He also did not expect it to be a major case within a major case. He thought it was just an ordinary revenge killing or an impulsive murder.

The crime scene was in a nearby town. The wife beat her husband to death with an iron rod. There were fingerprints on the murder weapon, but the fingerprints were not those of the suspect.

After many twists and turns, the victim's wife was finally identified and a complete confession was obtained after three interrogations.

The suspect was a little clever. On the day of the crime, the victim's creditor came to see the victim and the two had a conflict. The fingerprints on the murder weapon belonged to the creditor, but he just gestured twice and did not take any action.

Because of the two gestures, the iron rod was covered with the creditor's fingerprints. The suspect used this iron rod to beat her husband to death.

During the short time of flipping through the pages, Chen Yi guessed wrong three times in a row. The final reversal surprised him. Why were all the cases in Yangcheng so troublesome? Was it because he had traveled through time?

He guessed wrong the first time and thought it was an ordinary case, but he didn't expect it to be a case within a case.

The second guess was wrong. He thought it was a premeditated murder, but he didn't expect it was a killing out of righteous indignation.

The third time he guessed wrong, he thought the suspect's motive was related to the victim's debt, which led to emotional discord, or domestic violence or something. Unexpectedly, it was none of those things, and it led to another case.

Oh boy, it would be great if I could come back. I could write a detailed chapter or two about this case. Now... it can be summarized in a few hundred words.

"There have been cases of Stockholm syndrome abroad." Chen Yi closed the file.

Stockholm syndrome refers to the situation where the victim of a crime develops a liking for the perpetrator. This disease is related to the human psychological protection mechanism, which produces obedience, a sense of worship of the strong, and a strong desire to survive when faced with the threat of harm.

They change from fear and hostility at the beginning to sympathy and identification. In serious cases, they may even join the suspects in confronting the police.

In a foreign case, a female victim was imprisoned for seven years and eventually fell in love with the male suspect. The two even got married. A few years later, the male suspect cheated on her, and the female victim was furious and reported him.

The case in Yangcheng was similar, the only difference was that the woman chose to beat her husband to death. According to her, at the time of the incident, the two had a quarrel over unpaid debts, and her husband got drunk and started fighting, and even tried to tie her up. This reminded the woman of her previous fear of men, and she killed him in resistance and anger.

At that moment, Stockholm syndrome seemed to disappear, there was no love, only hatred.

There are reasons for this case and the suspect is also a victim. She would not have been sentenced to many years, but her behavior of evading police investigation will increase the sentence.

If you surrender yourself, you will get a lighter sentence.

He Shixin: "I didn't expect the truth to be so outrageous. It was as if the anecdote had become reality and happened to me."

Chen Yi lit a cigarette: "We've seen it so many times that we're used to it. There's no problem. Take it back."

He placed the file on the edge of the table and stood up to put it away.

Staying at the Municipal Bureau in the morning, Chen Yi went to the Provincial Department in the afternoon to continue discussing the winter rectification operation with the Public Security Corps. In the evening, he took Fang Shuyu back home.

After a phone call in advance, Chen Zhiyao and Shen Ying both returned, and the family had a rare meal together.

The cross-river bridge incident seemed to have passed and no one mentioned it again. Shen Ying was concerned about Chen Yi's food and clothing as usual, while Chen Zhiyao was more concerned about Chen Yi's work situation.

That old song sings it very well: talk to your mother about life's troubles, and talk to your father about work matters.

No matter how busy or tired you are at work, you should go home often.

In the eyes of the elderly, being successful is really not the most important thing. Being healthy and happy, and having a meal with someone occasionally, is the greatest happiness.

The topic of marriage inevitably came up at the dinner table, and Chen Yi and Fang Shuyu agreed to listen to their elders.

Fang Shuyu had a little bit of social phobia to begin with, and Chen Yi also found it troublesome, so if it weren't for the pressure from the elders, she would definitely go on a trip and get married, and would not want to listen to the noise of firecrackers and music, which would have exhausted her life after a day of work.

After all, it only happens once in a lifetime, so just bear with it and it will pass.

He stayed at home tonight and went to work as usual the next day. A week passed like this and Chen Yi became familiar with some people in the provincial department.

Among those in the same position, Chen Yi is the youngest, and he is also Fang Songping's future son-in-law. His status is obvious, and everyone is very polite to him.

In fact, even without the help of the Fang family in the future, Chen Yi would be able to rise to the top just based on the cross-river bridge incident and the Qifeng Island incident, but there would be a limit.

If the Fang family helps, the upper limit will be even higher.

Maybe in another ten or twenty years, I can really reach Fang Songping's status.

Of course, this is a routine situation. Chen Yi always makes some big noise every now and then, and the provincial and ministerial leaders have long been accustomed to it.

Going to the grassroots for training can give you a joint investigation of 100 institutions. What can't happen? Everyone can foresee that the Dongzhou police force will probably produce an extraordinary figure in the future.

Tonight Chen Yi and He Shixin had dinner alone and found a food stall. The weather was already very cold, and it was a bit cold to eat in a food stall in this season. If they had a glass of draft beer, they would shiver.

However, the two are policemen and have good physical fitness. They are more resistant to cold than ordinary people. Food stalls also have advantages. The local atmosphere is not comparable to that of high-end restaurants, and one can truly relax.

After three rounds of drinking, they were slightly tipsy and talked about the future. Chen Yi would definitely stay in the position of deputy captain for a long time, as he would just be doing the job and would inevitably have to deal with major and extremely serious cases.

This is his strength, and people should play to their strengths and avoid their weaknesses.

As for He Shixin, he was transferred from Ningcheng to Yangcheng. To put it bluntly, he came to join Chen Yi. Once Chen Yi left, his position in the Yangcheng City Bureau would be somewhat awkward.

Others respect Chen Yi, but they may not necessarily buy into his ideas. It is even possible that Zhuo Yun’s words are more effective than his.

It's human nature, after all, the old team is more familiar.

Therefore, whether from an emotional or practical perspective, He Shixin is still more willing to follow Chen Yi.

After learning about He Shixin's new ideas, Chen Yi said that he could transfer him to the provincial department in the future. He could not guarantee the specific position, but at least his level would not change.

"It's a deal, don't leave me."

He Xin's face was flushed, and he was a little drunk. Joining the provincial department and staying in the municipal bureau are two different concepts, and the former has better development prospects.

In fact, with Chen Yi in front, there is no need to worry about the development prospects. No matter how fast Chen Yi climbs, he just needs to grab the rope and drink the soup to be full.

Why did I agree to let Chen Yi come to Yangcheng at that time? It was not just a personal emotion. Everyone wanted to move up and there was no conflict.

He knew that following Chen Yi would be the right path.

"Of course I won't abandon you, but don't walk too slowly. Information is developing very quickly, and we must be prepared to deal with new types of crimes at any time."

Chen Yi implicitly reminded He Shixin not to forget to improve himself. He would never look down on He Shixin, but of course the better the technical personnel, the better.

Comparing Zhuge Cong and He Shixin, it is hard to tell who is better for now, but it may become uncertain after a long time, after all, Zhuge Cong is too young.

Being young is an important advantage. You have a better ability to learn, are quicker to accept new things, have more jumping thoughts, are energetic, hardworking and innovative.

Of course, every advantage has its disadvantages, and Zhuge Cong is in a period of rapid growth.

When He Xin could understand, a trace of seriousness rose on his face. He not only agreed verbally, but also sounded a warning bell in his heart. It seems that Chen Yi has met many outstanding talents in this research. The two brothers had a long meal. If men are excited, they can't stop talking. They drank beer from the box until after twelve o'clock when Fang Shuyu couldn't help but call with a video call. Only then did the two of them pay the bill and leave with a sense of satisfaction.

"Your sister-in-law called me on video because she's worried that you'll go to the club?" He Shixin joked while drunk.

Chen Yi was shocked: "Ah? You want to go to the club? My sister-in-law will beat you to death if she knows. But it's very dangerous at this time. My sister-in-law will definitely check on you."

When He Xin reacted and was about to say something, he heard Chen Yi say, "I have an idea. My sister-in-law will definitely not check on us when we eat at 7 or 8 o'clock. Next time, we will go to the club first and then eat. It will be the opposite! Besides, the club is usually empty at mealtime, so the quality is good!"

He Shixin was stunned for a moment, then he was astonished by Chen Yi's beauty, and almost sobered up: "Fuck! It's you indeed!"

While chatting and bragging, the two of them took a taxi home drunk.

As the autumn wind gradually turns colder, Yangcheng quietly enters December from November. The change of seasons brings about a subtle change in temperature and scenery.

The temperature difference between morning and evening increased, causing fog to fill the streets in the early morning, and pedestrians changed into long-sleeved jackets to resist the gradually increasing cold.

On the street, a few stubborn yellow leaves were finally blown down by the wind, and the trees put on their winter attire, revealing a kind of quiet beauty in the midst of the bleakness.

It hasn’t snowed yet, but everyone is looking forward to it.

The winter public security crackdown and rectification operation led by the provincial department has officially begun. Chen Yi and the deputy chief of the Public Security Brigade came to the Municipal Bureau and held a meeting. The focus of the task fell on public security and criminal investigation. Cao Hui from the Public Security Team was also present.

He listened very carefully, taking notes quickly with his hands, afraid of missing a word.

The special operation is not only a deterrent to lawbreakers, but also brings tremendous pressure to the executors. They do not seek to make any achievements but to avoid making any mistakes. Everyone will be very busy before the New Year.

Chen Yi did not forget to call Meng Yi. This person has a special status in Yangcheng. The assets under him are the focus of public security crackdowns. The next three months will probably not be easy for him.

Normally you can wander in the gray area and no one will make a big deal out of it, but from December to February, things will be more strict and you have to be very white.

It's just a sacrifice of some interests. Meng Yi knows the importance of this and says he will definitely not cause any trouble to Chen Yi.

As both a friend and a benefactor, Meng Yi should unconditionally and fully cooperate with Chen Yi's work for both emotional and practical reasons.

During this period, he even removed the girls who were selling drinks and replaced them with burly men, all of whom were muscular. As expected, this caused dissatisfaction among the customers, who started to curse at him.

I want to vomit when I see those faces. Why buy wine? ? Buy some! Keep it for yourself!

Money is not important, safety is the most important thing, Meng Yi is too lazy to care.

Every disadvantage has its advantages. The person selling the drinks was replaced, but unexpectedly, those rich ladies became more excited and even openly flirted with the handsome guy selling drinks. They waved their hands and offered Spade champagne, asking him to drink with them.

Meng Yi was a little dumbfounded when he learned about this. He felt that he had discovered a new business opportunity, so he immediately increased their commission and encouraged them to sell as much as possible.

The style of painting suddenly changed. Chen Yi must have been speechless when he found out.

After New Year's Day, Chen Yi had nothing to do so he strolled to the Hongzhong Branch and knocked on Zhou Yebin's office door.

"Lao Zhou! I'm here to give you a gift!"

Chen Yi held his head high and chest out, and put two bottles of liquor and a box of tea on the table.

Zhou Yebin quickly stood up to make sure the door was closed, then turned back and whispered, "Be low-key. Can you be loud when giving gifts? What if you get reported? Come on, come on. You don't need to take the things, right? Let me see what it is..."

As he spoke, he actually went up and rummaged through it, carefully determining the value of the gift.

He is a good actor.

Chen Yi sat on Zhou Yebin's office chair, lit a cigarette and crossed his legs comfortably, saying, "It's so comfortable. Are you so free every day, Lao Zhou?"

Zhou Yebin casually put the liquor and tea leaves on the ground and said dissatisfiedly: "What are you talking about? How did you see me being idle? Since I came back from the research, I have been very pretentious. I have learned to put on airs."

Chen Yi exhaled smoke: "Speak properly, I am a third-level police inspector."

Well, this joke can’t be overcome.

Zhou Yebin complained: "I've never seen a third-level police inspector like you. You've been very busy recently. When a document comes down from your provincial department, the entire branch is working non-stop. All the police stations have transferred out all the police officers that can be transferred out. As the deputy director, I still have to keep an eye on it."

He is in charge not only of the Criminal Investigation Brigade, but also of several police stations.

Chen Yi smiled and said, "Be busy, the New Year is coming soon."

Zhou Yebin looked at Chen Yi and said, "You are quite free, and you still have time to come and hang out with me during work hours."

Chen Yi: "I'm not just wandering around, I have to supervise your work, Lao Zhou, how are you doing recently, are there any big cases?"

Zhou Yebin sat down and said, "There are no big cases. They are all trivial matters, such as theft, fighting, gambling and prostitution. Some people will become more excited the harder you crack down on them. They will go against the wind. Do you think they have a problem with their brains?"

Chen Yi: "You have misunderstood them. Many people don't know about the crackdown and are not that well-informed. Do you really think they are stupid?"

Zhou Yebin: "Didn't they release an announcement?"

Chen Yi: "What we can see is only part of it. Take away what we have heard, and then take away those who can smell the gunpowder, and the rest will be in trouble."

Zhou Yebin nodded: "That's right. We caught six prostitutes today and busted a den."

As they were chatting, there was a knock on the door. It was the captain of the public security brigade who came in. Seeing Chen Yi was there too, he quickly saluted.

"Team Chen."

Chen Yi nodded, indicating that the other party should talk about work.

"Director Zhou, I have something to report to you. One of the six guys is a keyboard player and is suspected of committing a criminal offense."

Zhou Yebin replied: "Follow the procedures and see if we can dig out the rest."

Security Captain: “Yes!”

Zhou Yebin: "What's your name?"

Security Captain: "Zou Liang."

Zhou Yebin: "Okay, got it."

The security captain left, and Chen Yi spoke up: "The keyboard player is suspected of assisting others in organizing prostitution, less than five years in prison, he is out of commission."

Zhou Yebin hummed: "These people like to take shortcuts. They usually make money easily, but once they are caught, they will regret it."

Chen Yi: “It’s an unexpected gain.”

The polarization of these six people is very obvious. Five of them were only detained and fined and will be released in ten days, but the remaining one will probably have to stay in prison for several years, and it is not known whether the money he earns is enough to pay the fine.

Fines and penalties are different. Fines are administrative penalties, while penalties are criminal penalties.

　I went to have my wisdom teeth removed today. I feel a little dizzy. I don't know if the anesthesia will hurt my smart brain. I should not use anesthesia. This little pain is nothing.
