Chapter 241 Discovery
The interrogation had to be stopped after two hours.

Because Chen Yunwei started to act up again, they were asking her about a case that happened just before her family left the country, which was also the time when she and Li Yancheng got married.

She didn't talk about the case properly, but started to reminisce about her married life, rambling on and on, but didn't get to the point.

Seeing this, Li Yancheng had no choice but to stop the interrogation and planned to rest for a while before talking any more.

The general situation of the case he asked about was that someone reported to the Dianhai District Public Security Bureau that the Chen family had hidden a standard firearm, which was a long gun.

In the early 1950s, the state adopted a series of measures, including the promulgation of laws and regulations, to control the circulation and use of guns, and launched gun confiscation activities to strengthen gun management.

These measures are mainly aimed at standard firearms.

Now that they have received a report in this regard, the comrades from the Public Security Bureau will definitely go to check, but they did not find the so-called standard rifle in the house where the Chen family lived at the time. Only a hunting rifle that was loaded with gunpowder from the front.

There were many such hunting rifles scattered among the people. They were not within the scope of the compulsory confiscation regulations at the time. It was only recommended to hand them in. After all, many people made a living by hunting in that era.

As for the Chen family, they were doing business before liberation on a fairly large scale. It was normal for them to have standard firearms at home, as they had handed them over before.

Now they only found a hunting rifle, and they didn't even know if it could still fire. The police officer who led the team to check thought that the informant had made a mistake, so he registered the hunting rifle and took it away. The matter was over at this point.

But half a month later, the whistleblower was stabbed in the heart in broad daylight on the street and died on the spot.

Killing people in the street is a very bad situation.

The Dianhai Branch quickly organized police forces to crack the case.

The incident happened very suddenly. When the reporter was walking on the road, there were basically no people within ten meters around him.

A witness said that he saw a man wearing a baseball cap walking towards the victim. The victim seemed to have turned his head to the side and looked across the street at that time, and no one knew what he was looking at.

The man in the baseball cap walked straight over and bumped into the victim.

The witness said that he felt strange when he saw the two people bumping into each other, wondering why they didn't look ahead on such a wide road. Then he saw the man in the baseball cap reach out and hold the victim, saying sorry two or three times before letting go and leaving.

From where he was standing, he could only see the back of the man in the baseball cap and could not see the victim's expression.

After the man in the baseball cap let go and left, he saw the victim standing still, slowly raising his left hand to cover his left chest. Only then did he notice that there seemed to be something where the victim's hand was covering.

Just then a middle-aged woman passed by and screamed, "Murder!"

After piecing together the circumstances of the incident, this is roughly the outline of the situation.

Even though it was a murder in the street, it happened so quickly that few people saw the whole process, and no one could describe what the man in the baseball cap looked like.

After taking over the case, the police officers of Dianhai Branch immediately analyzed that the motive for the murder should be revenge, and the murderer was a veteran who stabbed the heart with a knife, which is something an ordinary person could never do.

Now that we have the motive and the general situation of the perpetrator, and the identity of the victim, we can investigate the victim's surrounding relationships.

The question is, if ordinary people generally don't have many enemies around them, then what about a person who doesn't do his job properly and just steals, drinks and causes trouble all day long?

The police officers of Dianhai Branch found out more than a dozen people who had grudges against him and had threatened to make him suffer.

Not to mention those far away, there are two or three among his relatives alone.

Later, after careful investigation, an investigator from the Criminal Investigation Section of the Dianhai Branch set his sights on the Chen family, or more precisely, Chen Yungang, Chen Yunwei's younger brother.

His investigation encountered a lot of resistance because the Chen family was very cooperative when they first formed a joint venture, and many people spoke up for them, both openly and secretly.

In the absence of solid evidence, it was impossible for the investigator to bring Chen Yungang back for questioning.

And at this moment, the investigator who had set his sights on Chen Yungang suddenly died in his home.

The forensic conclusion was carbon monoxide poisoning, or coal gas poisoning.

It was winter at the time, and everyone had their stoves lit at home to keep warm. Every year at this time, there were many incidents of gas poisoning, and many of them resulted in death.

Although the police officers of Dianhai Branch suspected that their colleague's death was caused by human factors, they had no evidence or clues, so they could only close the case as an accident.

The reason why this case can be brought up this time is that Dong Qiuling gave a general account but could not explain the details. However, she said that Chen Yunwei must know the details because she learned it from her.

Asking Chen Yunwei about this case now is to give an explanation to the dead person. If the death of the investigator was really caused by the Chen family, then he must have found something in his private investigation of the Chen family.

If he was really killed by someone from the Chen family, then his death was in the line of duty and he should be named a martyr and be recognized posthumously.

It can also give some psychological comfort to the family of the deceased police officer.

……

The interrogation stopped and Li Yancheng walked out of the basement and lit a cigarette for himself.

He had roughly guessed what Chen Yunwei was thinking.

The reason why this woman kept wanting to see him was simply to awaken his former love for her and see if she could use him to escape.

Maybe in her opinion, the reason why Li Yancheng went to capture her this time and acted so cold and ruthless was that he hated her.

Hate is not scary. After all, the opposite of hate is love. Hate only exists when there is emotion. There are too many things that happen when love turns into hate and then hate turns back into love.

Li Yancheng saw from the memories he inherited that the original owner really loved Chen Yunwei, although it later turned into hatred. But if the same situation really happened to the original owner this time, no one knows what would happen.

Just as he shook his head to get rid of all these messy things, the door of the interrogation room on the other side opened and the head of the investigation department, Tian Linjun, walked out.

"Sincerity"

"Hey, Chief Tian"

Li Yancheng, who was squatting there, stood up and walked over.

"How's it going, Yancheng? Has Chen Yunwei said anything yet?"

"I have already started to explain, but the cooperation is still not very high."

"Haha, it's good that you've spoken up. It's better than saying nothing. And you have to come forward. Does she still have any illusions about you?"

Tian Linjun asked jokingly and threw a cigarette over.

"I think so."

Li Yancheng lit a cigarette with the fire in Section Chief Tian's hand and nodded directly without avoiding the topic.

Tian Linjun has worked in the Social Affairs Bureau for more than ten years and has seen all kinds of criminals. If he didn't have some skills, it would be impossible for him to get the position of chief of the investigation department.

"During the interrogation, she would occasionally mention some of the times when we were together.

I guess she wanted to evoke my memories, and then see if it was possible to use me to achieve some of her goals, such as escaping with my help.

In her eyes, I should be her only hope. In the following interrogation, she will not give up easily and will definitely continue to tease me through memories. "

"Yancheng, I actually think you can use this to get her to confess everything she knows as soon as possible."

"I've just thought about what you said. Let's give it a try. I don't know if I can pretend to be like that."

Li Yancheng smiled bitterly and shook his head. He never thought that one day it would be his turn to use his "sex appeal" to do something.

After saying this, he turned his head to look at the interrogation room behind Tian Linjun, raised his chin and indicated: "Are you interrogating the mastermind behind the case of the missing data in the instrument factory?"

"He can't be called the mastermind." Tian Linjun also looked back, then sighed and said, "He is at most an implementer. You should have a general understanding of this case. This guy is actually a messenger.

We have always believed that he was the planner, but from his fragmentary confessions over the past two days, we learned that the real planner was actually his superior, including the person who selected the targets to be won over.

His upline has always been hidden behind the scenes, and this guy doesn’t even know what his upline does.”

"Hasn't he met his boss online?" Li Yancheng raised his eyebrows. He learned a little about the case from Zhang Hongbing, but he was not aware that the person who was arrested was not the mastermind.

The person Tian Linjun was interrogating was Cao Wanquan, the one who took the photo.

When he first started to confess, Lao Xu and the others were very excited, thinking that as long as he started talking, the case would be solved.

At the beginning, it was indeed pretty much what they expected.

As soon as Cao Wanquan opened his mouth, he pointed out the three traitors in the instrument factory.

It was indeed Yin Anda who had disappeared, Wei Haiping who committed suicide by jumping off a building, and Shi Huaian that Shi Pingmei saw in the photo studio.

Oh, by the way, it should be noted here that Yin Anda was arrested yesterday on the train from Wuhan to Yangcheng, and will be escorted to Beijing by the railway police who arrested him tomorrow.

What Tian Linjun was most worried about happened. Wei Haiping, who jumped off the building and committed suicide, was the one among the three who knew Cao Wanquan.

It was with the help of Wei Haiping that Yin Anda and Shi Huaian were dragged into the trap by Cao Wanquan, who took advantage of their weaknesses and used threats and inducements.

But why Wei Haiping did this and how he got together with Cao Wanquan, his superior, is still unknown. We can only know the answer after we catch that superior.

What Cao Wanquan confessed in the past few days were three cases he had committed in the past.

But he cooperated with three different planners in those three cases, and many years have passed. If he confessed it now, apart from letting Lao Xu and others know that such things had happened before, nothing else would be gained.

Cao Wanquan kept asking them to ask Wei Haiping, saying that this person must know his superior, and he didn't know that this person had committed suicide by jumping off a building.

Lao Xu and the others were helpless. If they could ask, they would have done it long ago. Shi Huaian had already explained everything he needed to explain. How could they ask Wei Haiping, the dead man? Should they send someone to ask?

"He had seen them before, but they were always wrapped up so tightly that he couldn't see their faces at all. The only thing he could judge was their age, height and body shape.

According to our analysis, Cao Wanquan did not lie about this matter. What is certain is that he refused to cooperate when he was first arrested in order to give the people behind him enough time to move. His goal should have been achieved. "

"Hasn't our goal been achieved?" Li Yancheng spread his hands.

"Disrupt their plans and ensure the safety of the project information. As for arresting people, sometimes luck is needed."

"Haha, you are right. Judging from the actual situation, the strategic goal has been initially achieved. As for the results of the battle, let's continue to work hard to expand the results."

"By the way, Chief Tian, ​​who are the director and deputy director leading the team to arrest?"

"Oh, to cooperate with the Third Division's operation, they have a case to close today."

"No wonder, I was wondering why he brought so many people." Li Yancheng nodded in sudden realization.

"Okay, Chief Tian, ​​let's stop chatting and start working."

"Okay, go for it."

After saying goodbye to Tian Linjun, Li Yancheng first went to the lounge to call Zhang Hongbing out, and then the two of them walked to the room leading to the basement together.

Just as he was about to enter the house, a light bulb went off in his head and he suddenly thought of a question.

"Chief Tian, ​​wait a minute!"

"What's wrong Yan Cheng?"

Tian Linjun, who had already opened the door of the interrogation room, heard Li Yancheng calling him, reached out to hold the door, turned around and walked over here.

"You just said that Cao Wanquan refused to confess after being arrested in order to buy time so that the people behind him could move?"

"We analyzed and judged that this should be the case."

"But he doesn't even know who is behind him, what is he transferring?"

"Uh..." Tian Linjun was stunned and didn't know how to answer this question for a moment.

Yes, if what Cao Wanquan said was true, and he really didn't know the person behind him and didn't know where to find this person, then there was no need for that person to move because he was safe enough.

Just like Li Xueyi and Wu Lihua before, even though so many people were arrested before, these two people were sitting on the Diaoyutai because they knew very well that those people didn't know them at all.

Li Yancheng continued without stopping: "Chief Tian, ​​I personally feel that Cao Wanquan deliberately delayed time not to allow the people behind him to move, but to give that person enough time to clean up the mess."

"Clean up?" Tian Linjun frowned and said uncertainly: "Yancheng, do you mean that Wei Haiping was murdered?"

"It's very likely. Because according to Cao Wanquan's explanation, Wei Haiping was introduced by his superior, so Wei Haiping must know that superior. People like them will not develop subordinates at will.

Even if he is not sure, he will not tell his real intentions to his subordinates even if he develops them. For people like them who dance on the edge of a knife, safety is the first priority. Only when they are safe can they complete the mission. "

"But... the Security Department said that nothing suspicious was found at the scene where Wei Haiping jumped off the building..."

Just when he said this, Tian Linjun laughed at himself and shook his head: "I am stupid too. If Wei Haiping really died of murder, the person who killed him must have made all preparations and of course arranged the scene. How could he easily leave traces?

Wei Haiping's group held a day-long meeting on Monday. He was completely unaware of Cao Wanquan's arrest on Monday until he went out to buy groceries on Tuesday morning. After returning, he jumped off the building and committed suicide. There were no suspicious signs at the scene.

In this case, after investigation we will inevitably believe that when he was out buying vegetables he heard the news that the photographer in the photo studio was arrested, he knew that he was about to be exposed, and then he came back and committed suicide out of fear of punishment.

He calculated this move well, and it almost made him invisible.

He was able to be so calm and composed, and the people in the staff quarters of the instrument factory did not notice any strangers coming in and out that day, which means... this person is an acquaintance, and his appearance in the staff quarters would not be out of place, or simply he lives there. "

Tian Linjun's eyes became brighter and brighter.

He raised his hand and patted Li Yancheng on the shoulder: "Thanks to your reminder, otherwise we would have missed this clue."

"It would be nice if I could help."

"The security department has screened the instrument factory and the family compound countless times, but they still missed this person. This shows that this person should have never been included in the key population."

Tian Linjun frowned and muttered in disbelief: "Is it a child? Or an old man?"

"Chief Tian, ​​I think no matter what the reason is, no matter who he is, he has been able to survive the security department's investigations again and again. He must have some extraordinary qualities. So let's just let him think he is safe this time.

I think the reason why he set up this plan this time is simply to continue hiding his identity, so his purpose in doing so is obvious. If nothing unexpected happens, his target should still be the project team's information.

Now that we know his purpose, just inform the security department and everything should continue as usual, just wait with pockets open.

Now there is a key issue, which is that everything is just our speculation.”

Li Yancheng raised his hand and pointed at the interrogation room where Cao Wanquan was imprisoned: "The key point is actually there. This old guy may not even know that he is just a bait. He was thrown out just to attract our attention.

Chief Tian, ​​you still have to interrogate him carefully. Although he may not be clear about the entire plan behind him, he must have mastered part of it. "

Then he pointed out several small problems that he thought of one by one.

"Thank you, Yancheng. How about you come over and help me?" Tian Linjun made an invitation.

Li Yancheng smiled and shook his head without even thinking about it, "I have a lot of things to do here, so go ahead and do your thing. You know more about the case, and I only know the general idea, so I'll tell you everything."
