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

Chapter 600 Xigui County

Zhou Junjie confessed everything.

The reason why he wanted to kill Wang Yingjie was that when graduation was approaching, he suddenly asked for millions of dollars in hush money, which Zhou Junjie could not afford.

I really underestimated Wang Yingjie.

An introverted, honest, timid guy, I don't know whether he did it on impulse or had it planned in advance, but he opened his mouth and asked for a huge sum of millions.

Maybe he was afraid of being poor, or he knew that the Zhou family didn't lack this little money and would definitely give it to them.

But Wang Yingjie didn't know that Zhou Junjie's pocket was actually quite clean during his college years. Although he bought a very expensive car, spent a lot of money, and looked very glamorous in front of his classmates, all that money came from his credit cards.

Zhou Junjie's family has financial control over him.

If he was really asked to come up with millions of cash, he would have no way to do it. He couldn't even find anyone to borrow the money from, and selling his car wouldn't even make enough.

Wang Yingjie was very tough in his attitude and threatened to tell everything to others if Zhou Junjie didn't give it to him, which prompted Zhou Junjie to come up with the idea of ​​killing him to silence him.

"Why did you choose Shidu Town?" Chen Yi asked.

Zhou Junjie whispered: "I didn't choose Shidu Town. I was looking for a suitable opportunity. It just so happened that the opportunity was quite good in the early morning."

Chen Yi: "You are planning to take action during this trip, but you don't have a clear plan, right?"

Zhou Junjie: “Yes.”

Chen Yi: "You and Wang Yingjie broke up, why would he still come out with you? Because of Fan Wen?"

Zhou Junjie: "Yes, it's because of Fan Wen. Peng Xiao and I invited Fan Wen first. As long as Fan Wen joins the team, Wang Yingjie will also come."

Fan Wen didn't expect that she would indirectly become an accomplice. She had no ill feelings towards Wang Yingjie, but it was a pity that he was not her type.

Maybe... one of the reasons why Wang Yingjie asked Zhou Junjie for so much money was so that he could be more qualified to pursue her?

There is no answer to this question, only Wang Yingjie knows.

At this moment, the sound of a car engine and hurried footsteps were heard outside the door.

We have arrived at Shuishi Town Police Station.

The director attached great importance to the homicide and special case team and led the team personally. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Chen Yi sitting there, with five people sitting in front of him, and the atmosphere was a bit solemn.

"Chen Xun." A middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties walked over quickly, stretched out his hand and greeted Chen Yi.

Out of politeness, Chen Yi stood up and said with a smile, "Huang, right? I've heard a lot about you."

Huang Zhenbang, director of Shuishi Town Police Station.

This is the person he wants to see.

When the murder happened eight years ago, the first person to lead the police team to the crime scene was Huang Zhenbang, who was not the director at that time.

The two shook hands, and Huang Zhenbang smiled and said, "Chen Xun, you are too polite. I am Huang Zhenbang. Why didn't you tell me before you came?"

Behind him, the policemen from the police station looked at the young man shaking hands with the leader with curiosity, as they also came here because of his reputation.

The police inspector still hasn't given up on the case from eight years ago. The first task of the special case team established this time is the Ishidu Town case, which shows how much importance it takes.

But I don’t know if there will be any results this time.

They had heard about Chen Yi's ability to investigate cases, and they thought that even if the murderer could not be caught in the end, he should be able to advance the case and provide clues and support for subsequent detectives.

A complicated old case is essentially a relay race, and no one can guarantee whether it can be solved in the end.

Chen Yi explained: "I was just about to go to Shuishi Town, and now there's a murder. The murderer has been found and interrogated, so let's put him in cuffs."

"Have you found out?" Huang Zhenbang was surprised, but not surprised. He glanced over and locked onto Zhou Junjie who was under the control of the special case team, then waved his hand.

The police officer stepped forward, took out handcuffs, clamped Zhou Junjie’s wrists, and pulled him up from the stool.

Killing someone in front of the special case team, this guy is really unlucky.

I am afraid that this kind of treatment is unprecedented and will never be repeated.

It cannot be said that the special case team represents the pinnacle of criminal investigation in the country, but it is at least better than most criminal investigation brigades. The result speaks for itself. The case was solved in just one hour.

Not only was the case solved, but the interrogation was also over, which was extremely fast.

"Chen Xun, what should we do? Where should we send it?" Huang Zhenbang asked.

Chen Yi: "Send it directly to the Xigui County Criminal Investigation Brigade. I'll go with Chief Huang. It's a good opportunity that we don't have to go to Shuishi Town anymore."

There is only one purpose for going to Shuishi Town, and that is to meet Huang Zhenbang. Since the other party is already here, we can just go directly to Xigui County.

Huang Zhenbang had no objection and nodded, "Okay, take it away."

"Captain Huang, there is another person." Qin Fei spoke up, pointing at Peng Xiao, "This woman gave the victim an overdose of drugs, so she must be taken away as well."

Huang Zhenbang: “Uh.”

Wow, a pair of Crouching Dragon and Phoenix.

This Yunshui Inn is really poisonous. There have been troubles all the time in recent years.

"Huang...Captain Huang." Before leaving, the boss Wu Changchun greeted him. The two knew each other.

Huang Zhenbang looked over and said, "Old Wu, there are fewer and fewer tourists coming to the town now. You have to think about your way out. If it doesn't work, just close it and go back to Shuishi to do some other business."

There were indeed too many police reports at the Yunshui Inn. He hoped that Wu Changchun would quickly close the inn and turn the Shidu town into a completely uninhabited area, with no people left. Naturally, no one would call the police anymore.

Wu Changchun was helpless: "What Huang said is true, I will think about it carefully."

Huang Zhenbang nodded and followed Chen Yi out of the inn.

In the hall, only the boss and his wife and Fan Wen were left.

The boss and his wife were okay, but Fan Wen was in an awkward situation. There were four of them when they came, but now one was dead and she was left with two. She didn't even know how to go back.

Seeing that the police had left, Fan Wen reacted and quickly chased after them, asking if she could also be sent to Xigui County.

At this moment Chen Yi had already got in the car.

The police serve the people. Huang Zhenbang did not refuse Fan Wen’s request and asked the people below to make room in the car for Fan Wen.

This girl's experience is quite rare. She was fine when she came, but was left alone when she left.

It’s a blessing in disguise that I was not implicated.

The time of arrival at Xigui County was 6:30 p.m. We had been notified in advance on the road, so the leaders of the Xigui County Bureau were waiting at the door early and expressed warm welcome to the special case team.

Even those who had taken sick leave rushed over from home, not wanting to be noticed by the special case team.

Team leader Chen Yi has too many positions under his charge, and the inspectors' jurisdiction is too large. They dare not take the risk. If they are caught, the impact on them will be fatal.

Chen Yi's words can reach the police chief directly. No one wants to be in trouble at a critical moment. Even if you are sick, you can overcome it.

It was lunchtime and the leaders suggested going to eat first. Chen Yi skipped the red tape and got down to business first, handing Zhou Junjie and Peng Xiao over to Han Qiu, the captain of the Xigui County Criminal Investigation Brigade.

After explaining the situation, Han Qiu handed the two men over to the captain of the serious crime squad and accompanied them to the meeting room.

He knew that the murder at Yunshui Inn was just an accident, and Chen Yi came to Xigui County to deliver the person because of a case eight years ago. This case was the target of the special case team.

In the meeting room, tea was served. Han Qiu smiled and said, "Chen Xun is indeed not an ordinary person. He encountered a murder case suddenly, but he solved it before the people from Shuishi Town Police Station arrived. We are far behind."

The compliments were just for show. Chen Yi took a sip from his teacup and said, "It's just a simple murder case. It doesn't matter who goes.

Captain Han, do you still have the investigation records of the December 12nd case? "

"Keep it, it's ready." Han Qiu nodded, stood up and placed the documents in front of Chen Yi.

Chen Yi flipped through it.

The case was eventually handed over to the Jingcheng Criminal Investigation Detachment, but the three victims died too quickly, so the Xigui County Criminal Investigation Brigade was initially responsible for the investigation.

If the Jingcheng Criminal Investigation Team could intervene in advance, they might be able to find out how the victim teleported from Jingcheng to Shidu Town.

The conference room fell silent, and Chen Yi watched slowly.

The investigation process was normal and no new clues emerged compared with the files in Jingcheng. After receiving the alarm that year, the Shuishi Town Police Station immediately notified the Xigui County Criminal Investigation Brigade.

In order to save time, and considering that the sandstorm in Shidu Town was too strong and the body had to be moved as soon as possible, the Xigui County Criminal Investigation Brigade ordered its troops to split into two groups. The Shuishi Town Police Station sent the body to the Xigui County Funeral Home to be handed over to the forensic doctor, and then the Serious Crime Squadron set out to investigate the scene.

In this way, nothing will be delayed.

This happened in three consecutive murders.

After reading the investigation records, Chen Yi raised his head and said, "The order to transport the body as soon as possible was too hasty. At least it can't be done three times in a row. However, it takes three hours to get from Xigui County to Shidu Town, which is six hours round trip. It is understandable that we can't get to the scene in a short time."

He was not blaming Han Qiu, because the captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade at that time was not Han Qiu, and he had been transferred away.

At that time, Han Qiu was still the captain of the serious crime squad. Under the leadership of the captain, he was deeply involved in the investigation of this case until the Jingcheng Criminal Investigation Detachment officially took over.

Han Qiu said: "What Chen Xun said is right, let's sum up our experience."

He just subconsciously affirmed what Chen Yi said. In fact, he didn't know why he was so hasty. It seemed that there was no problem for the investigators and forensic soldiers to split into two groups to save time.

Chen Yi: "Call the medical examiner."

"Okay." Han Qiu turned around and ordered: "Is Lao Yang in the bureau today? Go and call him over."

The police officers took the order and left.

Chen Yi looked at Huang Zhenbang and said, "Captain Huang, you were the first one to lead the team to the crime scene, right?"

Huang Zhenbang nodded: "Yes, it was me. I wasn't the director at that time."

Chen Yi: "We won't talk about what's in the file. Did you observe the body carefully at that time?"

Huang Zhenbang: "No, I just cordoned off and protected the scene, removed the body, and then conducted a preliminary investigation.

Murder is a major criminal case, so we still have to wait for the county criminal investigation team to come."

Chen Yi: "How long have you known Wu Changchun?"

"Wu Changchun?" Huang Zhenbang almost didn't react when Wu Changchun was suddenly mentioned. "It's been many years, about ten years? We met after the Yunshui Inn was built."

Chen Yi asked directly: "Is there something wrong with this person?"

Huang Zhenbang's expression was slightly serious: "What does Chen Xun mean?"

Chen Yi: "We are talking about a murder case eight years ago. What I am referring to is of course his suspicion of committing the crime. Speak freely and don't be influenced by the current investigation results. Do you personally think he has a problem? Say whatever comes to your mind."

Huang Zhenbang did not answer immediately. This matter required caution. He thought carefully for a long time and said, "The murder happened near Yunshui Inn. It was inevitable that Wu Changchun would be questioned and investigated.

I have discussed this issue with Captain Han and Chai Zhi from Jingcheng. I really can't think of any reason why he would kill three victims. It's not even remotely related."

Chen Yi: "If we don't consider his motive, he would be highly suspicious, right?"

Huang Zhenbang nodded: "If we don't consider the motive, Wu Changchun is a certain suspect, I remember..."

At this point, he looked at Han Qiu: "I remember that Wu Changchun was not at Yunshui Inn when the three murders occurred, right, Captain Han?"

Han Qiu nodded and said, "Yes, Wu Changchun was not at Yunshui Inn during the three murders. He went out to get medicine for his son once, went out to buy goods once, and returned to Shuishi Town on his father's death anniversary."

Chen Yi knew about this matter; it was in the file.

It is precisely because of this that he focuses on Wu Changchun.

"Chen Xun thinks this is too coincidental?" Han Qiu asked.

Chen Yi: "It's a bit too coincidental."

Han Qiu: "But he was not at the crime scene, so he didn't have time to commit the crime."

Chen Yi asked back, "Who said the crime scene was in Shidu Town? The issue of the body's teleportation has not been clarified yet, so we can't easily draw any conclusions."

Hearing this, Han Qiu and Huang Zhenbang looked at each other in surprise and confusion. Ever since the Jingcheng Criminal Investigation Detachment began a comprehensive investigation into the victim's interpersonal relationships, they had no idea of ​​the progress of the case.

All we know is that the two most important points have not been broken through. In addition to the victim's interpersonal relationships, the other is why the victim could teleport from Jingcheng to Shidu Town in a very short time.

The modus operandi and motive for committing the crime remain a mystery.

"If there is anything that the Criminal Investigation Brigade needs to do, just give the orders, Chen Xun." Han Qiu made a statement on behalf of the Xigui County Criminal Investigation Brigade.

Huang Zhenbang also said: "Shuishi Police Station is also on standby at any time."

As we were talking about this, the door of the conference room opened and a middle-aged man walked in. He was wearing glasses and looked to be in his forties or fifties, not very old, but his hair was already a little gray.

An old medical examiner.

He is also the only forensic doctor in Xigui County.

This is the case in remote areas. There is still a long way to go in building a forensic team. Forensic medicine is a relatively scarce profession. It is difficult and time-consuming for the country to train people. In addition, the profession is not attractive enough, so there are few people willing to engage in forensic work for their entire lives.

Having finally learned the skills, I naturally didn't want to go to the remote Xigui County.

According to regulations, an expert report cannot be issued if there are less than two forensic doctors. However, they can first conduct an autopsy, record the inspection results in detail, strictly supervise the process, and then sign it together with forensic doctors from other places through remote discussion.

Or, directly request support from superiors.

There is always a way.

"Old Han, you're looking for me." Yang Hongyi said, and then looked at Huang Zhenbang and the six members of the special case team.

"Sit down and talk." Han Qiu motioned for the other party to sit down. "Chen Xun from the special case team needs to talk to you about the case eight years ago. You did the initial autopsy. Just answer truthfully."

Yang Hongyi's expression became serious, and his body movements became stiff: "Chen Xun."

Chen Yi smiled and said, "We are all family, relax. I didn't ask Forensic Doctor Yang to come here to discuss the autopsy results. I want to know more details.

Start talking from... the moment you learned that a body was found in the town of Ishidu, and continue until the end of the autopsy.

We are not in a hurry. You can speak slowly and strive to be accurate and detailed. The more detailed the better. Don't even miss the action of opening and closing the door when you leave the office."

Yang Hongyi didn't understand, but didn't dare to ask more questions. He began to recall and then told the story.
