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

Chapter 480: Investigate the murder first, Jiang Mingfu blocks the door
This was a very skilled thief. Apart from his body outline, he did not leave any clues at the scene. It was impossible to find this person through on-site investigation.

Hu Qingzhi has done everything that should be done.

The captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade went to investigate a theft case personally. Chen Yi had no doubt about his ability. It seemed that he had really met a master.

At present, we can only investigate from the side.

Compared to homicide cases, theft cases are really difficult. Although homicide cases are complicated, at least there are clues to follow and there is hope. But in this theft case, there is only one figure, and the possibility that the crime was committed by a stranger is very high. There are so many people, where can we find him?

Even Chen Yi fell silent after listening to Hu Qingzhi's description and reading the files.

There are two sayings in the industry: Theft cases are the most difficult to solve, and nine out of ten theft cases cannot be solved.

There are many reasons, such as: insufficient evidence, high incidence of roving crimes, too much time dragging on, etc.

As the saying goes, if you catch a thief, you must catch both the stolen goods and the person. When a theft has happened and there are very few clues left at the scene, the possibility of recovering the stolen goods is close to zero.

If the owner of the lost money had not been in a special position, this case might have been temporarily shelved and handed over to other police officers to follow up slowly. It would depend on luck whether the case could be found.

The Criminal Investigation Brigade is still very busy, there is nothing we can do about it.

It can be seen that Hu Qingzhi has a worried look on his face and really doesn't know how to check.

Jiang Yanyan wears the bracelet in public all day long, so there must be many people who know its value. Her connections have been checked, and the fact that a stranger or an outsider committed the crime has been basically confirmed.

A bracelet worth 100 million yuan, who would not have evil intentions? He fled abroad immediately after committing the crime, which was enough for him to live a carefree life.

"You're really looking for trouble."

Qin Fei and the others couldn't help but complain in their hearts.

This sentence cannot be said out loud, but it is okay to think about it. Rich people should understand the principle of not showing off their wealth, but they choose the method of preservation that is most likely to be lost: wearing it.

"Chen Yi, do you have any ideas?" Xia Lanshan asked.

The others also looked over, wanting to hear what new suggestions this expert in solving cases from Yangcheng had. They all agreed that theft cases were much more difficult to investigate than homicide cases, and everyone could even see the case becoming an unsolved case in the future.

Chen Yi frowned slightly and subconsciously reached for the cigarette box. Liang Qidong next to him moved quickly and took his own and handed it to him.

"Thank you." Chen Yi took the cigarette, lit it, took a deep breath, and said, "Let's not talk about the theft case itself. Does this tourism industry tycoon named Jiang Mingfu love his daughter or not?"

Xia Lanshan was surprised: "What do you mean?"

Chen Yi: "With 100 million on his back, if he were in the wilderness, he could be murdered or robbed. It's too dangerous. Fortunately, it's just theft. If it was kidnapping, he wouldn't even have to pay the ransom."

There's no need to pay a ransom to increase the risk. You can just take the bracelet away directly. There might even be a risk of being killed.

Xia Lanshan looked at Hu Qingzhi, who said, "We also think it's outrageous. We asked him and Jiang Mingfu said he only has one precious daughter, so of course he should give her the best."

Chen Yi: "How much is he worth?"

Hu Qingzhi: "Several billion, maybe."

Chen Yi thought about it and said, "It's still not right. If you had hundreds of thousands, would you spend 10,000 to buy a bracelet for your daughter?"

"That... that definitely won't happen." Hu Qingzhi smiled bitterly, "I don't understand the thoughts of rich people."

Chen Yi turned around and glanced at the theft case file again, saying, "Let's investigate the murder case first. I will be returning to Ruicheng with Captain Liang today. Captain Hu will continue to be in charge of the theft case. My personal suggestion is... we need to understand the question just now in depth. There are no clues anyway, so let's give it a try. Maybe the motive is not for money? If it's not for money, it will be much easier."

Hu Qingzhi nodded: "Okay, I'll remember it."

The meeting was very short. After reading the files, Chen Yi was ready to leave immediately. Then Xia Lanshan took a few people to get temporary guns, including Fang Shuyu.

The Type 92 has a larger magazine capacity and higher shooting accuracy, and everyone is relatively accustomed to using it, mainly for deterrence and self-protection.

The murderer in this case seems a bit dangerous. His killing method is weird, but his quick and decisive action is even more noteworthy.

Near the border, there are all kinds of people.

Hu Qingzhi continued to investigate the theft case, while the other members of the task force went to Ruicheng. If the case could not be solved, they would probably not come back in the short term.

It’s the same old saying: human rights come first, property rights come second.

"Chen Yi, safety comes first. Don't be reckless. Please."

Before leaving, Xia Lanshan gave him a warning, and a hint of pleading. He knew how fierce Chen Yi was. It was not something that ordinary people could do to massacre Qifeng Island. But even a horse can stumble, after all, they are only flesh and blood.

If Chen Yi had an accident in Yunzhou, how would he meet Fang Songping in the future, not to mention that Fang Shuyu was there too.

"Don't worry, I know what's going on."

After bidding farewell to Xia Lanshan, the group left the provincial department and prepared to take a bus to Ruicheng.

Ruicheng has an airport, but Liang Qidong drove here. Besides, a pistol cannot be brought on the plane, and the entire journey on the highway will take about seven and a half hours.

Before leaving the provincial department, the convoy was stopped. A Rolls-Royce was parked in front of the door blocking the way. The bodyguards standing guard around were all wearing suits. If you didn't know better, you would think they were "gangsters."

Chen Yi guessed who it was and opened the door and got out of the car.

Qin Fei and others took a few quick steps to protect Chen Yi and confronted Jiang Mingfu's bodyguards.

Jiang Mingfu is in his fifties or sixties. He is not a tall man. On the contrary, he is only about 1.7 meters tall. Standing there, he stands out a bit compared to the bodyguards.

However, the aura of the superior is hard to ignore, and his majesty is fully revealed. Although he is not tall, he stands there like a towering mountain, with the elegance of a gentleman, but also the oppression that comes to the face.

"Excuse me, is there anything I can do for you? If not, please move aside."

Qin Fei spoke first, neither arrogant nor humble. After following Chen Yi for a few years, he had learned not to bully the weak and not to submit to the strong. He was no longer a small policeman in the police station.

Jiang Mingfu moved his legs forward.

Qin Fei's eyes focused, and he and Fu Guoyong blocked it.

"Excuse me, please don't come near."

"Back off."

Jiang Mingfu smiled slightly: "Captain Chen's arrogance is even greater than Xia Lanshan's. He is good at controlling his subordinates. I can't even get close to him? The police and the people are like one family."

Qin Fei and Fu Guoyong turned around and saw Chen Yi raise his hand slightly, then they stepped aside.

Chen Yi stepped forward and said with a smile: "Mr. Jiang made such a big scene, no wonder my colleagues misunderstood. The police and the public are indeed one family, but we also have to guard against attacks on the police."

Jiang Mingfu found it interesting: "This is the provincial department. Do I want to die?"

Chen Yi: "Just kidding, what brings you here at this hour, Mr. Jiang? Are you here to see me?"

This guy is very well-informed. He arrived in Mingcheng last night and blocked the door today, probably because of a theft case.

"Has the task force leader been replaced?" Jiang Mingfu asked.

Chen Yi nodded: "It's a change. Captain Han had a minor accident and needs time to recover. During this period, I will be responsible for guiding the investigation of the case."

Jiang Mingfu had a smile on his face the whole time. "A 30-year-old deputy chief of criminal investigation is amazing. Although I am far away in Yunzhou, I have heard of Captain Chen's heroic deeds. It seems that my lost bracelet should be found soon. When the time comes, I will really thank Captain Chen."

Chen Yi: "It is my duty to investigate criminal cases. Don't worry, Mr. Jiang, I will do my best."

Jiang Mingfu looked at the people behind Chen Yi and asked, "Are we going to... Ruicheng?"

Chen Yi: "Yes."

Jiang Mingfu: "Captain Chen is showing favoritism. Isn't the theft case important?"

Chen Yi spoke calmly and honestly: "Compared with murder cases, theft cases are relatively unimportant."

Hearing this, Jiang Mingfu was silent for a moment, took a half step forward and whispered, "Captain Chen, can you help me find my daughter's bracelet first? If you can find it, I will reward you with an eight-digit reward."

Chen Yi looked at Jiang Mingfu deeply.

Eight figures? More than 10 million. You can be willful if you have money.

"It seems that this bracelet is very important to your daughter." Chen Yi said.

Jiang Mingfu sighed, "Yes, it is very important. She loved this bracelet very much. After she learned that it was lost, she was depressed all day and has lost several pounds now."

Chen Yi's mind raced, and he said, "If not, just buy another one. We should be able to find similar quality ones across the country. This isn't a rare antique."

Jiang Mingfu shook his head: "It's hard to find it in a short time. Besides, Yanyan has already developed feelings for it. Captain Chen may not know that high-end jadeite has spiritual energy."

Reiki?

Chen Yi just listened to it for fun, he didn't think a piece of stone could have any spiritual power.

Jade is just a stone, a special kind of crystal stone.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Jiang." Chen Yi said, "Our task force has its own pace of investigation. The murder case is the first thing to be solved. Don't worry, the Municipal Bureau's Hu Branch will continue to be responsible for the investigation of the theft case and will do its best to find the whereabouts of the stolen bracelet."

Jiang Mingfu: "I don't believe him. Captain Chen, can you switch with him and let him go to Ruicheng to investigate the murder case?"

Chen Yi: "..."

It's a good thing to be trusted by others, but Jiang Mingfu was somewhat self-conscious about his status and made arrangements casually.

Investigating cases is the duty of criminal police. Outsiders cannot interfere, let alone change it.

"No, I'm sorry."

Jiang Mingfu frowned: "Captain Chen, can't you take care of me? I'm the leading taxpayer in Yunzhou."

Chen Yi smiled and prepared to end the conversation: "After the investigation of the Ruicheng case is completed, if there is still no progress in the theft case, I will do my best to investigate it. Mr. Jiang, see you again if there is a chance."

Looking at Chen Yi's leaving back, Jiang Mingfu took out his mobile phone and called Xia Lanshan. Unfortunately, the other party's response did not satisfy him. He could only stand there, shaking his head helplessly, watching Chen Yi's car go away.

Inside the car, Chen Yi turned around and looked through the rear window at the gradually shrinking figure of the man, and his doubts deepened.

Is it the father's love as high as a mountain, or the specialness of the bracelet?

Both are possible. I only have one precious daughter like her, so I have to do my best to give her the best.

A bracelet worth 100 million is enough to attract attention even among the top families in the world.
