Chapter 371 Arrangement
"Uh..." Shen Changyou was stunned for a moment when asked, and hurriedly took out two photos from his notebook.

This is a photo of the deceased.

"It's tied in a knot. Director Sun, look, there are obvious marks of strangulation here. If it wasn't tied in a knot and was just strangled directly, there shouldn't be such marks on the back of the neck."

After looking at the photo carefully, Sun Yijuan nodded.

"Wait a moment. I'll call someone to send over a file. I remember seeing a case last year where the murderer seemed to have used the same method. I wonder if the case has been solved."

As she spoke, Sun Yijuan stood up, walked to the table, picked up the phone on the table, dialed the number, said a few words, hung up, and walked back.

"I remember that case also happened in Taifong."

"Director Sun, are you talking about the case at Taifeng Bedding Factory at the end of November last year?"

When he heard that it was the Taifeng case, Shen Changyou immediately thought of a case he had heard of before.

The Taifeng Bedding Factory belongs to the military. Although the employees there are not soldiers, they are all on the military staff. When a case occurs, the police generally do not intervene unless the military requests assistance.

It is obvious that the local police did not seek assistance in this case.

"Yes, it's that case. This case is in the hands of the Security Department of the Beijing Military Region. I only heard about it from others. I don't know the details yet. We'll take a look at it when the file is delivered.

If the modus operandi is really the same and we can combine the cases, it can also provide us with more clues.”

Having said that, Sun Yijuan turned her head and looked at Li Yancheng, who had been silent all this time.

"Yancheng, you called us together to discuss the case, why don't you say anything and just listen to us?"

"I always think about motive, what motivated the murderer to do this."

Apart from going to get the shovel just now, Li Yancheng really didn't say much for the past half day. Hearing the eldest sister's question, he frowned slightly and said.

"Motive? Killing Shen Wen should be for the gun, as for killing you..."

Sun Yijuan turned her head and looked at the other three people, and finally her gaze fell on Li Yancheng again.

"The motive for killing you is more vague. It could be because of your interrogation ability, or it could be because of the project you were involved in at the headquarters.

I guess only by catching the person, or even finding out the mastermind, can we know the motive."

"Bang Bang Bang"

Li Yancheng tapped the coffee table in front of him a few times with his fingers, as if to encourage himself for what he was about to say next.

"What I want to talk about is the murderer's motive for killing Shen Wen."

???

Hearing him say this, a big question mark appeared on the foreheads of the other four people.

Didn’t the murderer kill Shen Wen for the gun?
"Assuming that what Xiaotong said just now is correct, the murderer is Shen Wen, whom he met in the ghost market, and the two of them had a good relationship, or they did something shameful together.

So, when the conditions were convenient, why didn't the murderer kill Shen Wen quietly and take away his gun, but chose to go to his house in broad daylight to do it, which would have easily exposed him?

I think he had reasons to go, and he might have just taken the gun for convenience. His real purpose must be something else.

Changyou, didn't Shen Wen's wife say that other things were missing from the house?"

"Uh..." Shen Changyou was startled by Li Yancheng's sudden question, then shook his head and said, "She said she didn't lose anything else."

"Who is the person who reported the case?"

"A worker from their factory lived next door to Shen Wen's yard. We knew he was at home during the day yesterday. That worker also worked the night shift the night before.

According to him, he went to Shen Wen's house to borrow a screwdriver at around five o'clock yesterday afternoon. When no one answered the door after knocking, he leaned against the window and looked into the house.

It was dark at the time and the lights were off. He vaguely saw a person lying on the floor in the house. He felt something was wrong and ran to the local police station to report it.

After listening to Shen Changyou's words, Li Yancheng waved his hand and said, "What I said may not be correct. It's just a guess. I always feel that the murderer's motive is a bit strange. There must be other things here. Let's wait and see what news Zhu Yongyang can get tomorrow."

He had a headache. He was involved in analyzing the assassination case against himself. The anger in his heart really made him lose his basic judgment on many things, and it was difficult for him to calm down.

Seeing his irritability, Jin Zhihai exchanged glances with Su Xiaotong, then stood up and pulled Li Yancheng out of the house.

"Come on, Dacheng, I want to tell you something in private."

"What's wrong?" Sun Yijuan turned to look at Su Xiaotong in surprise and asked.

"Yancheng is a little restless and can't calm down. Let Zhihai talk to him."

"How can I not be annoyed? Anyone who encounters this kind of thing will be annoyed. This is not the first or second time that it has happened."

Sun Yijuan felt helpless. She had never expected that her beloved younger sister would marry a troubled man whose life was in danger at any time.

To be honest, dying on the front line of battle is a worthy death. People in this line of work all have this awareness and understanding, but being assassinated is nothing.

Su Xiaotong curled his lips, reached out for the cigarette on the table and lit one for himself.

"Sigh... Sister, I heard that the project that Yancheng is collaborating with the General Hospital is to study cancer, but the fact that you can intervene in this case shows that this project is not as simple as it seems.

I know the rules and I won't ask anything. What I want to say is, if the assassination last night was really aimed at this matter, shouldn't you also start investigating from other aspects?"

"You don't have to worry about this. The relevant investigation has already begun."

Sun Yijuan didn't explain anything, she just said it lightly.

Shen Changyou, who was standing by, also started to have a headache after hearing this. He had been wondering for a long time why the eldest daughter of the Sun family, who was in the army, was also involved in this case.

I'm also wondering if this person is involved in this in a private capacity. After all, the Sun family and the Luo family are relatives, and everyone knows that.

Now after listening to the conversation between the two, he finally understood how complicated this matter was. Who knows who might be involved.

hiss……

Thinking of this, he took a deep breath with a bit of toothache. He didn't know if his small body could withstand it this time.

Unlike the Luo, Su, and Sun families, the old man in his family has long passed away. He can hold this position at such a young age thanks to the care of the old man’s comrades.

But if he is really involved in some struggle, it is unknown whether the old man’s former comrades-in-arms can protect him.

But the case happened in the jurisdiction of their branch. It was impossible for him, the deputy director in charge of criminal investigation, to back down. He could only grit his teeth and go all the way.

"Why, are you scared?"

At this moment, Su Xiaotong suddenly raised his hand and patted Shen Changyou on the shoulder, and asked with a chuckle.

"How can I not be afraid?"

Shen Changyou just rolled his eyes.

"What are you afraid of? You are investigating the murder of Shen Wen. I didn't ask you to take over Yan Cheng's case. What do you have to be afraid of?"

That's easy to say!

Shen Changyou rolled his eyes again.

These two cases are actually the same case. If one is solved, the other will be solved naturally.

"How about this, Changyou? Tomorrow I'll ask someone to tell your leader to transfer you to guard the warehouse or the bridge. That job is easy and you won't offend anyone. What do you think?"

"Get lost, didn't I say I'd quit? What's the matter? You don't allow me to be afraid? This incident is clearly a provocation. Whoever backs down is a traitor."

Guarding the warehouse? Guarding the bridge? It would be better to just dismiss him and let him work as a policeman in the police station.

Deputy Director Shen almost vomited blood.

“Hahaha…don’t worry, brother, just investigate your murder case and don’t worry about anything else, I and Big Sister are here for you.

Damn, they even dared to touch our people, and they keep coming one after another. It's like a tiger that doesn't show its might but thinks we are sick cats. If I don't make some noise for them this time and let them see that the Social Affairs Bureau is not made of mud, I will write about Su in reverse in the future."

A fierce light flashed in Su Xiaotong's eyes, and a bloodthirsty and cruel look appeared on his face.

Sun Yijuan leaned back on the chair without saying anything. She just held a pencil in her hand and kept shaking it, with a cold look in her eyes.

For a moment, the room fell silent.

……

At the same time, Luo's

Mr. Luo had a meeting today, and it was already past eight o'clock when he got home.

When he came back and saw his little daughter at home, his originally calm face immediately turned gloomy.

Of course, he was not talking about his youngest daughter, but was remembering the repeated assassinations against his own son-in-law.

If what happened the night before yesterday made the old man a little angry, then what happened last night almost made him go crazy on the spot.

"Dad, you are back."

Seeing the old man come into the room, Luo Min, who was sitting on the sofa and talking to his mother, stood up.

"Sit down, Xiao Min, don't stand. Are you okay?"

The old man felt a little distressed when he saw his pregnant daughter.

"It's okay, Dad. Director Liu from the main hospital took my pulse last night, and Dacheng gave me an injection later so I could have a good sleep. Everything is fine."

"It's all right, it's all right."

Last night, the old man asked Luo Yang to go over there. He had been thinking about whether he should bring his daughter back first so that his son-in-law would have less to worry about. Later, his son called back and said that Yan Cheng had given her an injection and had put her to sleep. Only then did he feel a little relieved.

"Xiao Min, Daddy doesn't have any other intentions, but Yancheng's current situation..."

"Dad, I didn't want to come back to stay today, but I came back because I didn't want Dacheng to be busy with patients, worry about cases, and think about me.

I believe Dacheng will handle everything well.”

Looking at his daughter's tense face, the old man smiled and pointed at her.

"You know what I'm going to say before you interrupt me."

"I don't care what you want to say, I just hope you won't change our life and work so that we can live our lives well."

"Silly girl, Daddy doesn't intend to control you."

Luo's mother beside her also smiled and patted Luo Min on the back gently: "Don't be like your sister and get angry. Listen to what your father has to say first. Why do you think your father and I want to harm you?"

"No, Mom."

"Then just listen to your father quietly and then express your opinion."

As Mother Luo spoke, she reached out and pulled her little daughter back to the sofa, then she stood up to pour a glass of water for her husband.

The old man was not angry about his daughter's reaction, but just looked at her calmly.

"How about it, Xiao Min, are you willing to listen to Daddy now?"

"Dad, it's not that I don't want to listen to you, but you know that I'm already married and will have my own child soon."

Having said that, Luo Min put her hand on her bulging belly.

"I know that you and mom definitely want us, your children, to live a good life, but we hope to live a good life with our own abilities, rather than just being under your wings and enjoying your glory.

Of course, we are also very clear that no matter what, we are all your children, you are our pride, and the surname Luo is a label that we cannot wash away, and we have never thought about washing it off.

We just hope to be like you, Dad, and achieve something of our own.”…

At the same time, when the Luo father and daughter were having their first frank communication, in a large courtyard in Beijing, two men in their sixties who looked about the same age as Mr. Luo were also talking about something.

"I heard that Lao Luo lost his temper at the meeting just now?"

Blowing out the match that lit the cigarette in his mouth, one of the square-faced old men suddenly remembered what he had heard before coming here. He raised his eyelids and looked at the rather thin old man sitting opposite him and asked.

"Can you not lose your temper?"

Mentioning what happened at the meeting just now, the thin old man sighed.

He reached out and took out a cigarette from the cigarette box on the table, but did not light it. He just put it under his nose and sniffed it.

He doesn't smoke, he just smells it occasionally when he's upset about work or other things.

Sniffing the cigarette in his hand, he said: "Some people really go too far."

Having said this, his gaze suddenly shifted from the cigarette in his hand to the square-faced old man.

"Lao Zeng, who did this?"

"Uh..." The square-faced old man called Lao Zeng was stunned by the question.

He quickly realized what the person opposite him meant and shook his head.

"I don't know, I really don't know. As far as I know, it should have nothing to do with our people.

From Old Chen to Old Yan, many of them have been scared. If you ask if there is anyone who wants the young man to die, there must be some.

As long as he's alive, he's too threatening even if he does nothing.

However, no matter what they thought, no one with any common sense would dare to do this.

After what happened last night, I was a little worried, so I made some inquiries. Although I’m not sure if what they said is true, I feel like this incident really wasn’t done by someone from China.”

Lao Zeng's words made the thin man fall into deep thought.

He believed that Lao Zeng would never lie to him.

Not in China...

That means it's most likely the legacy of a case that guy handled before.

Thinking of this, he immediately thought of what happened to the Social Affairs Bureau in Hong Kong Island last year.

According to the information we got later, that kid and his gang turned Hong Kong Island upside down.

It's not just Hong Kong Island, even the people from the C Department of the Ugly Country were knocked down by them.

Now that so much time has passed, I think they should have completed the investigation.

After all, there must be some of them in the country.

"call……"

He exhaled lightly, reached out and picked up the phone on the table and dialed.

Seeing his actions, Lao Zeng, who was sitting opposite him, opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but after hesitating for a moment, he said nothing and just smoked quietly.

The outgoing call was quickly connected.

"Lao Fang, it's me."

……

"Um, sorry to bother you at this time."

……

"Lao Fang, I'm calling you to tell you what happened last night."

……

"No, no, no, Lao Fang, you misunderstood. I really didn't know about this matter. I won't hide it from you. Even if someone below did it, they couldn't tell me.

I believe you can understand what I mean. Putting aside his identity as a social affairs officer, this matter is actually not a big deal."

……

"Haha, Lao Fang, the main reason I called you is to tell you that you can actually look outside. I suspect this case is very likely not committed by someone in China."

……

"I really don't know anything. It's just that Lao Zeng came to talk to me and happened to mention this matter. I suddenly remembered that the kid and the second son of the Su family went to Hong Kong Island to carry out a secret arrest mission last year.

So much time has passed, I think Hong Kong and the U.S. should have investigated everything that needed to be investigated.

There are definitely people around us who are traitors, so even if those people don't know the relevant information accurately, for them, it is enough to know the general idea, and it is not important information.

Lao Fang, the possibility of those people taking revenge is very high."

……

"Don't get me wrong, I don't mean to divert your attention. You have people in Hong Kong Island, so why don't you investigate first?

What I said is just speculation.”

……

"Well, it's hung up!"

……

On the other end of the phone, Mr. Fang, who was about to leave, sat back at his desk with a frown on his face after hanging up the phone.

Why would he be so kind as to make this call and take the initiative to show his concern for the shooting case?
Does the weasel wish the chicken a happy new year?

Questions kept popping up one after another in Mr. Fang's mind.

He picked up a cigarette from the table and lit it for himself. The rising smoke made him squint his eyes.

If you say that person has good intentions, he doesn't believe it at all.

He also believed that if that person had any evidence, he would find a way to kill Yan Cheng.

One was surnamed Chen and the other was surnamed Yan. The departure of these two important figures made that person's heart bleed.

Not to mention that Lao Yan's son disappeared inexplicably, which made many people wonder if he wanted to wipe out the entire clan. Those who originally supported him began to hesitate because of this incident.

And all this is thanks to Yan Cheng.

Therefore, he was more convinced that the man definitely had no good intentions.

However, what the person said on the phone just now does make sense. We can indeed ask the people from the Second Department to check it out first. It won’t take much effort anyway.

As he thought about it, Mr. Fang put the cigarette in his hand into the ashtray, reached out for the phone and dialed it.

The first call rang for a long time but no one answered. After pressing the hook switch on the landline, Mr. Fang looked at the address book under the glass plate of the desk and dialed another number.

The call was quickly picked up.

"It's me. Ask your Director Zhong to call my office back."

"Good Chief"

……

"Jingle Bell……"

Less than five minutes later, the phone on Mr. Fang's desk rang.

"Hey"

"Mr. Fang, you are looking for me."

"Yuan Zhu, arrange for someone to inquire in Hong Kong Island. I suspect that the order to assassinate Yan Cheng was probably issued from there."

Mr. Fang didn't waste any time and went straight to the point after answering the phone.

Director Zhong on the other end of the phone frowned slightly after hearing what the old leader said.

"Mr. Fang, do you think that this assassination attempt on Yan Cheng is most likely a sequelae of last year's operation?"

"Yes, it's just a suspicion. Whether it's true or not still depends on the results of the investigation."

"I understand. I will immediately arrange for someone to send a message to them and ask them to investigate."

"Well, it doesn't need to be detailed, just the rumor is enough."

Groundless!
It’s been over half a year since the incident happened. If it wasn’t true, no one would spread such news.

"I know"

"Okay, how's their investigation going, any progress?"

“I was just talking to Xiaotong in the telecommunications room. Last November, there was a murder case at the Taifeng Bedding Factory, and the case has not been solved yet.

The murder method in that case was almost identical to the murder of Shen Wen, the security officer of Taifeng First Chemical Plant, which happened yesterday afternoon.

The person who was killed in that case also frequently went to the ghost market, but did not buy or sell anything.

Xiaowen and his friends judged that the murderer did not kill Shenwen because of the gun, and there might be other unspeakable things going on.

Taking the gun may be a simple act, or the murderer may have done it to cover up his tracks and interfere with the investigation, making us think he was going for the gun."

"Well, you guys coordinate this case with the army, and don't cause any misunderstandings."

"I understand, Mr. Fang."

"Okay, that's it. Report any new developments in the case to me at any time. If there's anything that needs coordination, let the headquarters handle it."

"Yes"

After hanging up the phone, Mr. Fang picked up the half-smoked cigarette that had long been extinguished in the ashtray and lit it again with a match.

The shooting case that occurred last night must be solved as soon as possible, and no mercy will be shown to anyone involved.

These are the exact words that Lao Wu said to him after the meeting.

He also said that if they couldn't protect even one talented person, then they should hand it over to the army. Anyway, the General Hospital was already drooling over Comrade Li Yancheng.

When Mr. Fang, who was the leader of the Social Affairs Bureau headquarters and a member of the Security Committee, said this, his face turned as black as charcoal.

But he just couldn't refute it.

The old man was very depressed.

call……

After exhaling the cigarette he had inhaled, General Fang put out the cigarette butt in the ashtray and stood up.
