The Bourne Counterattack

Chapter 167 Assignment

"Then what did you call me for, Labor Supervisor?" Cheng Mo was very curious. Robertson called him over just to tell him this.

Not to the point.

"Cheng Peisheng and the others cannot handle this case. I have suggested to Lao Ba that you be solely responsible for the investigation." Robertson said.

"If this case is just an ordinary criminal case, it would be reasonable for Detective Cheng and the others to investigate. If I intervene and take the case away, I'm afraid it will cause unnecessary conflicts?" Cheng Mo said. He didn't want to take the case in his heart. of.

"If you don't take over the case, the Japanese team will take over. Once they take over the case, the case may be out of control," Pride said.

"Well, it's not impossible for me to take this case, but this case involves Tongyuan Foreign Trade Co., Ltd. If I find something, how far can I go?" Cheng Mo asked after thinking for a moment.

Robertson and Pride looked at each other. They didn't know that if they really found out something, it would be troublesome to deal with it.

"If it was an ordinary criminal case, that would be the best."

This is not yet understood. Both Robertson and Pride hoped that this was an ordinary criminal case, so that Nojiri's death was an accident.

The accident cannot be blamed on the Bureau of the Ministry of Industry, and the Japanese will have no excuse to exploit the problem.

……

Therefore, as long as the other party does not go too far, he will not care about it. After all, the investigation of the case is more important.

The case is simple.

If it weren't for the fact that the concession could not expel the Japanese living in the concession, and all the Japanese were expelled, this matter would not have happened.

Even Cheng Peisheng misunderstood. When Cheng Mo took people to hand over the case, his team was full of hostility.

Cheng Mo really couldn't explain this kind of thing. There were some things that he couldn't tell the other party. What's more, even if he knew, the other party might not be grateful to him.

According to the description of Nojiri’s wife Keiko, Nojiri went to work well the first day. Before returning home from get off work in the evening, he called home and said that he was going to Xinghualou to buy her her favorite pastries. She was waiting at home. , waited until dark, but no one came back, so he went out early the next morning to search along his usual route home, and found his husband Nojiri, who had been dead for a long time, in a dead end alley.

But some people believe it.

Cheng Mo wanted to make more meritorious deeds, accumulate qualifications and be promoted to detective, and abruptly snatched the murder case of "Japanese Nojiri" from Detective Cheng Peisheng.

This kind of behavior of robbing people is very shameful.

"Thank you, Supervisor."

There was no way, the case was in his hands. Even though Cheng Mo didn't want to take over the case at all, the British had spoken, and he had to take it even if he didn't want to.

"Go ahead, if you need support, tell Pride directly and he will fully support you." Robertson patted Cheng Mo's shoulder affectionately and said.

"Understood." Cheng Mo thought so too, but I'm afraid the inside story of this case wouldn't be like this.

Although he was forcibly assigned a task, when it spread to everyone in the Laozha Capture House, it became a different version.

Then Keiko called the police.

After receiving the alarm, the Laozha Police Department quickly left the scene.

After collecting traces on the ground, the body was taken to the funeral home, and the next step was an autopsy. When Cheng Mo took over, the autopsy report had not yet come out, but it was probably coming soon. There was no room for delay in a homicide case.

The case can be solved within the golden forty-eight hours. If it exceeds this time, it will be very slim. Especially in the current concession, where the police force is limited, it will be even more difficult.

The scene is cordoned off.

Cheng Mo went to see it, but it was of little value, because before the blockade, many traces were destroyed. Even though it was a dead end alley, no one passed by it at night.

How Nojiri walked in, and why he entered an alley with no roads, is also bizarre.

If there is an explanation, it is that this alley was not the first scene of the murder.

Dumping the body after killing someone?

Is it necessary to leave it in this dead end alley, for fear that no one will find it? Otherwise, it would be cleaner to just put a set of sacks on them, tie them with stones, and sink them directly into the Huangpu River.

Isn’t this murderer’s brain not enough?

Of course, there is another situation where the murderer knows Nojiri, he leads the person to this alley, and then takes advantage of him and kills him.

But this requires establishing a premise, that is, the murderer knew Nojiri, otherwise how could he willingly follow him to such an alley?

As a result, the possibility of an acquaintance committing the crime is very high.

The Lao Zha Jia Fang political unit already had a lot of manpower, and the investigation of this case obviously required manpower. Naturally, Lin Huarong and his team were called over by Cheng Mo to participate in the case analysis meeting.

He can't always be excluded.

Cheng Mo briefly described the case, and then let everyone speak freely and work together. After all, no matter how powerful he is alone, he cannot compare with so many people.

"Old Lin, you have rich experience in handling cases. You go ahead." Cheng Mo named Lin Huarong directly.

"Detective Cheng, I think this case is more likely to be robbery and murder. According to Nojiri's wife Keiko's description, when he came home from work, he called and said he would go to Xinghua Building to buy snacks for her, but we were at the scene No snacks were found, and the briefcase he usually carried was not there. There are many cases of people killing for money every year." Lin Huarong cleared his voice and said.

Cheng Mo listened for a while. Although the probability of such an occasional case is very small, it is not impossible. Nojiri works in a foreign company and is well dressed. Such people usually have a small amount of money and can easily become the target of some people. Target.

"But according to the on-site investigation, no traces of struggle were found. If there is robbery and murder, at least there is a fight. After all, people who rob are all rushing for money. They will kill unless they have no choice." Xu Qinghe retorted. .

"What if it's a bandit who breaks into the concession?"

"What gangster dares to commit crimes in the East District, the most prosperous part of the concession..."

"Xu Qinghe, don't think that I can't do anything to you just because you're probing now!" Lin Huarong said angrily. It was obvious that the two of them had issues in the past.

"I'm just talking about the matter, Lin Tanmu, why are you anxious? If this case is so easy to solve, why would the superiors directly name us, Cheng, to take over?" Xu Qinghe said, he knew the inside story, this case was a British one The assigned case was not a case that Cheng Mo took the initiative to pursue.

Lin Huarong was stunned. He really didn't know this. He thought it was Cheng Mo who wanted to stand out and increase his halo. He didn't expect that the case was assigned by the superiors.

"Let me tell you clearly, the identity of the dead Nojiri is unusual. He is the Hongkou branch of the Black Dragon Society behind Tongyuan Matheson. Have you heard of Shitaka Kusumoto? He is the president of the Hongkou branch of the Black Dragon Society. He is also the Japanese ambassador. The director of the Shanghai Secret Service." Cheng Mo explained, "Everyone understands that this case is unusual."
