The Red Era: Living in Seclusion in a Siheyuan as a Boss

Chapter 672 Director Liu Yong of the Criminal Investigation Department!!!

Under the overall command of Liu Zhiye, the entire logistics department welcomed the end of 1998 in a state of efficient operation.

In the last days of the year, all work in the Logistics Department entered the sprint stage. The phone rang one after another in the office, documents and materials piled up like mountains, and everyone was busy.

After a rare few days of rest during the Chinese New Year, Liu Zhiye finally returned to the Liu family compound he had not seen for a long time.

In this courtyard that symbolizes the family's glory, the wintersweets are exuding fragrance, adding a touch of warmth to the cold winter.

As the de facto backbone of the family, the news of Liu Zhiye's return spread like wildfire.

From the afternoon to the evening, there was a constant stream of younger family members, distant relatives and neighbors coming to visit.

The living room was filled with the aroma of tea and the sound of laughter. The younger generation respectfully asked for life experience, while the elders inquired about work progress with concern. The whole compound was filled with a warm and peaceful atmosphere.

Liu Zhiye warmly greets every junior who visits him, and his gentle eyes reveal his sincere concern.

He carefully inquired about everyone's family situation, listened patiently to the challenges and gains they encountered in their careers, sometimes nodded in approval, and sometimes gave constructive advice.

Before leaving, Liu Zhiye always said a few words of encouragement: "Young people should be down-to-earth, but also don't forget to look up at the stars.

As long as we maintain this enthusiasm, we will be able to create a new world in the future.”

These words were like a gentle spring breeze, which made the younger generations present feel warm and encouraged.

Liu Yong was the last relative to visit Liu Zhiye.

As the newly appointed director of the Criminal Investigation Division of the Municipal Bureau, he is fully aware that this position carries the heavy responsibility of protecting the peace and security in the area, and he dares not slack off at all.

Liu Zhiye looked at his high-spirited nephew with eyes full of relief.

He analyzed the current situation of the public security system for Liu Yong in an earnest manner, and gave many forward-looking suggestions on everything from case investigation techniques to team building and management.

These experiences are the results of Liu Zhiye's memories from his previous life and the wisdom he gained from decades of working in the military and police system.

The person Liu Yong admires most is his uncle Liu Zhiye.

Every time he had a long conversation with this highly respected family leader, he felt refreshed and gained a lot.

Not only Liu Yong, but also his brothers Liu Wu, Liu Wen, Liu Xiaoqiu and others grew up listening to their uncle's legendary stories.

Those legendary life experiences full of passion, wisdom and courage have long been deeply imprinted in their memories.

Uncle Liu Zhiye is not only a role model in their hearts, but also a beacon that illuminates their life path.

His every word and action subtly guides the younger generation of the Liu family in the direction of progress.

This year marked the most critical turning point in the career of Liu Yong, who had been a police officer for many years.

As the saying goes, "When the spring breeze blows, the horse gallops, and one day can see all the flowers in Chang'an", just when Liu Yong was full of confidence and high spirits, another major case occurred.
At around 9 o'clock in the evening on the eighth day of the first lunar month, a large-channel bus on a certain route of the Yanjing Bus Depot No. arrived at the terminal.

At this moment, most of the passengers in the car had left, with only 5 people left.

There was a driver, two conductors, and the other two were drivers and conductors from other train crews - all of them were "insiders".

The female ticket seller at the front ticket counter was counting money to settle the bill, and the driver stepped on the accelerator and drove into the parking lot.

When the conductor was about to get off the bus, she said, "Look, hi! Whose suitcase did you forget to take? Here it is?"

Everyone followed her gaze and found a yellow cardboard box tied with plastic rope at the feet of the female conductor who was counting the money and in front of the double seat.

It is common for drivers and ticket sellers to find things left behind by passengers.

The general handling method is to take the luggage to the dispatch room or office and wait for passengers to come and pick it up. Those that have not been picked up for a long time will be handed over to the police station.

At that time, a driver suggested: "How about we open it and see what it is?"

"Isn't this bad?" said the female ticket seller who was counting the money.

"What's the big deal? We're just going to take a look!" the driver yelled.

So, the two nosy comrades squatted down and started tying up the cardboard box with the words "Super Fruit Tea" printed on it.

When I opened it, I found it was covered with newspaper. I lifted it with my hand and was frightened as if I had touched a snake by accident. I sat upside down with my hair standing on end.

The female ticket seller who counted the money leaned over and saw it, and suddenly let out a scream, and the paper bills in her hand flew all over the car like flowers scattered by a fairy.

The cardboard box showed pale, bloody human tissue and an arm...

The smell of blood filled the carriage, making people feel creepy.

Several people stumbled out of the car and described the horror and discovery to the people in the convoy.

In panic, the bus company employees, out of their responsibility as citizens, urged them to report to the bus station duty room number five, and then picked up the phone to call 110 to report the incident.

The bus dispatcher asked the driver: "Can you please move your bus first? Otherwise, the bus behind you will be blocked and unable to move forward."

The driver shook his head and said, "Well, please forgive me. Not only do I not dare to get on now, but I will have to ask the boss to change another car tomorrow.

Am I not unlucky?
He was driving around the streets with a 'dead body scene' and he didn't even realize it. It would be better to drive to the crematorium instead.

You can either find someone brave enough to go up, or wait for the police to arrive."

The dispatcher was at a loss when he heard this: "Okay! It's such a big deal, let's just wait for the police to solve it!"

Shortly after.

Police cars with flashing red lights drove into the parking lot from the direction of the city one after another.

After the criminal investigation personnel arrived, they restored the cardboard box to its original position according to the description of the person who first came into contact with the scene.

Then it is reopened, and each step is carried out strictly according to the on-site investigation procedures.

The beams of investigation lights and flashlights cut through the night, as if announcing that a particularly large and difficult homicide and dismemberment case had been officially accepted, and the work began from then on.

In the fleet office, investigation and interview work is being carried out at a rapid pace.

This bus runs from HF District along the southwestern edge of the capital to Qilizhuang in FT District. It has a long route, covers a large area, has many passengers and a complex composition, which brings great difficulties to the investigation.

According to the recollections of the Qianmen Ershen ticket seller, after this bus came out of the HD departure station, there were not too many people on the bus, probably because of the holiday, and the bus remained "all seated" for a long time.

When the train arrived at Gongzhufen Station, a large group of people suddenly got on and the carriage immediately became crowded. She also began to busy herself with selling tickets. If there were any suitcases, they would probably be there after that.

She vaguely remembered that there was a man standing next to her, about 30 years old, wearing a black leather jacket, but she didn't pay much attention to where he got on and off...

There is material of "value" and the conductor provides only this.

It's no wonder. It's around the Spring Festival, and many people are visiting relatives and friends. Plus, companies distribute food to employees, so carrying a cardboard box on and off a bus won't attract anyone's attention at all.

On-site investigation showed that this was a "Super Fruit Tea" packaging box produced by Tianjin Port Food Co., Ltd., with a production date of December 1998, 12. The criminals now filled it with human tissues, a total of 11 pieces.

In addition, the box also contained "Xiaguo Television News", "Yanjing Radio and Television News", "Southern Weekend News", wolfberries soaked in wine, pink toilet paper, a red brick, etc.

You can also smell alcohol...

During the Spring Festival, a serious criminal case of a serious nature suddenly broke out. The case was quickly reported through public security organs at all levels and finally reached the Criminal Investigation Department of the Municipal Bureau.

After receiving the report on the case, Liu Yong, director of the Criminal Investigation Department, immediately convened an emergency meeting of the criminal investigation system.

He slammed the table and stood up: "The nature of this case is extremely bad, a special case team must be set up immediately!

We have to race against time and strive to solve the case before the 15th, so that the people of the city can spend the Spring Festival in peace."

Subsequently, Liu Yong decided to take charge of the case personally, mobilize elite police forces, and launch a comprehensive investigation.

After the task force was established, the experienced Liu Yong discovered that the bus was obviously the scene where the criminal dumped the body.

This criminal act of killing, dismembering and dumping the body on public transportation is another prominent example since the body parts package was first discovered and seized on the 1979th "Yanjing-Dongdan" train on February 2, 25.

The criminals took advantage of the fact that buses have many passengers and high mobility, and went against the previous practice of dumping bodies in remote places, which shows that the criminals are cruel and daring. Objectively, it is an intrusion and threat to everyone's peaceful life, and a serious provocation to the "uncles in hats" represented by Liu Yong!
In the darkness of night, a sinister and ferocious face seemed to be mocking the investigators: I have come up with a new Sphinx mystery, do you have the ability to uncover the answer?

To solve this kind of murder case, we usually have to find out who the deceased is first?
The body parts were examined by forensic examination and modern equipment, and it was confirmed that the person was a male, had type O blood, and was killed within 0 hours.

In addition, there is another shocking news: the victim is a child, and his age and height have been measured.

After Liu Yong received the test report, he was furious: "This beast is so cruel and crazy. We must catch him and bring him to justice!"

That night, telexes reporting the case and searching for missing persons were quietly sent to grassroots police stations throughout the city via dedicated lines.

The task force's joint meeting to solve the case was held overnight under the chairmanship of Director Liu Yong, head of the Criminal Investigation Department.

At the case analysis meeting, criminal investigation experts including Liu Yong described and inferred the case.

Although the body parts were found in the FT area, two-thirds of this bus route runs in the HD, so the HD area should be the focus of our work.

Combined with the fact that there was a red brick in the carton, it is impossible for the criminal to add more trouble to move the body parts.
It was more like heading for a place with water, that is, a lake or a river, but changing one's mind halfway;
Considering the information provided by the driver and salesperson, the bus routes, especially the large transportation hub of Gongzhufen, should be the key areas for investigation...

The "2.24" investigation task force is composed of the Criminal Investigation Department, the Public Transportation Branch and the HD Branch.

We also made a full assessment of the conditions and circumstances of the crime, and from the results of subsequent investigations, the analysis was extremely accurate...

The next morning, several policemen came to the home of Wang Moumou, a cadre who worked in the urban construction department and lived at No. 113 Gongzhufen, and asked him about the situation of his son Wang Tao.

Wang Tao, 6 and a half years old, is in the first grade. He went missing while going to the toilet at around : pm yesterday afternoon and has not returned since.

Wang's wife repeated to the unfamiliar policemen what she had said when she reported the case last night:

"Yesterday afternoon, I boiled some hot water and prepared to wash the hair of the two children (Wang Tao is a twin), Huang Tao said he had to poop, so he tore off a piece of toilet paper and went out.

I was washing the eldest child, but Wang Tao hadn't come back yet. I was afraid that the child would go out and play in the yard again.
I went to call him, but he wasn't there in the toilet or in the yard. I searched everywhere, so I had to call his father.

His father came back and continued to look for him until after 8pm. There were people from the Yangfangdian Police Station living in our compound, so we told them and then we went to the police station together to report..."

Detective Li asked, "Where does this child usually go to play?"

Wang's wife replied, "They play in our yard. You see, this is a big compound with 70 or 80 households."

Xiao Li asked again: "How many toilets are there in your courtyard?"

The king’s wife replied, “The one in the southwest corner.”

Xiao Li nodded and asked, "...Does this child have any physical features? Like moles, scars, etc?"

Wang's wife thought for a while and answered, "The most prominent feature is that the little fingers on both hands are extremely short, and the length does not exceed the first joint of the ring finger. It is caused by genetics."

When Xiao Li suggested to the Wangs that they take some blood samples for testing, an ominous premonition loomed over them. They asked tremblingly, "Is it... something wrong with the child?"

"Well... it's hard to be sure at the moment." Xiao Li tried his best to choose his words: "There are some issues that need to be verified. In addition to the parents' blood samples, we also need to find the child's homework book and take it back. We will notify you in time if there is anything."

Xiao Li and his companions are all comrades in the investigation team.

After checking the missing persons telex release, they conducted targeted inquiries and screening, and identified the disappearance of Wang Tao reported by HD Yangfangdian Police Station as the focus. After this conversation, they have already made an estimate.

The next step is to wait for the test materials in hand to be scientifically verified.

The statement that "the little finger is extremely short" can be clearly confirmed on the hands of the corpse.

The investigation team then used the blood samples of the Wang couple and the blood of the body parts for DNA paternity analysis, proving that the body parts were Wang's flesh and blood;

The fingerprints on the body parts are exactly the same as the fingerprints on Wang Tao's exercise book...

It is certain that the deceased is Wang Tao.

As the times have changed, DNA paternity testing alone is an irrefutable scientific basis.

Criminal police like Liu Yong have a saying: If you can find out the source of the corpse, you are halfway to solving the murder case.

This discovery encouraged the police officers and criminal investigators from the police station who were involved in solving the case.

But Liu Yong's brows became more and more furrowed.

Wang Tao was murdered, and only a few hours passed from his disappearance to the discovery of his body parts. What does this mean?
A 6-and-a-half-year-old child has limited social circles, so there is no possibility that he would suddenly leave home for a long journey.

Children nowadays are incredibly clever. They are not the "beggars" as they were in the past, who can be lured away by giving them candy and big sour dates.

Besides, the Wang family is not a wealthy family and has no major grudges against anyone, so why would they need to kidnap a child?
Various analyses indicate that the place where Wang Tao was murdered was not far away, most likely in this hospital.

As for who did it and why, these are mysteries that need to be solved.

I say "this courtyard" because this dormitory is incredibly large. There are 14 formal houses in 80 rows. Except for the one for public use by the Family Committee, almost all the other houses are connected to serve as daily living quarters for each family.

The architectural layout of the courtyard is disorganized, but fortunately, everyone in the courtyard has one entrance and one exit and shares one toilet, which limits the possibility of the scene where Wang Tao was killed.

The comrades of the task force were divided into several groups and visited every household in the courtyard, mobilizing people with conscience and sense of justice to provide clues.

At 2 p.m. on February 27, another farmer found a cardboard box containing human tissue and children's clothes in a vegetable field in Yuejialou, Yuegezhuang, FT District.

Forensic identification confirmed that the human tissue found on the bus belonged to the same person.

An analysis of the gastric contents determined that the time of death was two hours after the meal.

When a sample was taken from somewhere on the boy's torso for inspection, a shocking report was obtained - J was found!
The discovery of the body, and especially the accurate report of the forensic doctor that the murder took place two hours after the meal, indicated that Wang Tao's disappearance and murder occurred at the same time, and the hospital found the basis for this analysis.

The special investigation team's visits are like the tentacles of an octopus, searching extremely sensitively and flexibly for corners that may be hiding filth and dirt.

Among these, many suspicious signs were identified, such as a family had poured blood that day, someone had injured fingers, there were bloodstains in the house, etc., but they were all denied one by one.

Finally, there was only one target left - Ge Yunhu who lived in No. 1, Row 6.

Ge Yunbao, male, 39 years old, is an assistant manager of a company in the urban construction system. He is considered a "young and promising" cadre today.

He, his wife and children lived in the sixth room in the row of houses next to the toilet.

The whole family rarely showed up after the Spring Festival. He told the police that he had just returned from visiting relatives in his hometown.

Ask him about his whereabouts on the day of the incident?
He said that he attended a celebration at noon that day and drank a lot of wine. He went home at around 2pm and went to bed. He didn't get up until the next morning...

Criminal investigation personnel found an English typewriter in his home, and the room was arranged like the residence of a "cultured person".

But Ge Yunbao's family raised pigeons - this is consistent with the discovery of pigeon droppings, high grains, and corn beans at the bottom of the "car body parts" box, and the requirement of "raising pigeons";
On his wine cabinet were wine soaked with "whips" and other medicinal herbs, which were similar to the wolfberries soaked in wine found on Wang Tao.

Also, Ge Yunbao's wife and children are living somewhere else these days.

Last night, February 2, when the task force members visited his home one by one, his door was closed and the lights were off, and no one opened the door when they knocked.

Later we learned that Ge Yunbao was in the house.

How to explain this?

On the morning of February 2, investigators visited his home for the second time. Before they even entered his home, they could already smell the pungent smell of Lysol - this was a new addition, and something that most other families did not have.

During the conversation, the technician "scanned" with a cold eye and immediately spotted the brown spots that non-professionals would not notice much.

A criminal police officer took out a test paper, wiped it, went outside and dipped it in the test solution he brought with him - it showed human blood reaction!

The case officer glared at Ge Yunbao and said, "Come on, put on your clothes and follow us to the police station."

Ge Yunbao's face turned from blue to white. He silently picked up the leather jacket on the bed, and shivered for a long time but couldn't zip it up.

He took out the key and prepared to lock the door, but the criminal investigation officer said, "Don't worry about it. Nothing will be lost."

Ge Yunbao never came back after that trip - because his fingerprints were left in many places - including on the cardboard box.
