Chapter 394 The second one

In just a few words, Lao Xu had already analyzed the motive behind the fire in Liu Qingchuan's house.

After saying this, he tapped the desk a few times with his fingers. Just when Su Xiaotong was about to say something, he spoke first.

"Sun River"

"arrive"

When Sun He heard the director calling his name, he stood up immediately.

"Sit down." Lao Xu raised his hand and pressed down.

"Next, you will continue to investigate Liu Qingchuan according to Director Su's instructions. The library guard said that the man had visited him several times recently.

The two of them must be friends, but they may have pretended that their relationship was not that close before. They have been meeting frequently recently, and they must be discussing how to commit a joint crime.

Combined with what Comrade Luo Yang said yesterday, Liu Qingchuan looked at Yan Cheng’s lover with a strange look…”

There is no need to continue talking here, Su Xiaotong and Sun He both understood.

It is very likely that the joint crime that Liu Qingchuan is going to participate in is related to Li Yancheng.

Just when Lao Xu and others were arranging the investigation of Liu Qingchuan in the office, a murder occurred in Yangchao District.

To be precise, someone found a body in the ruins of the Yangchao Bed Sheet Factory where a family compound was being built.

By the time the chief of the Criminal Investigation Section of the Yangchao Public Security Bureau and his men arrived at the scene where the body was found, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon on March 27th.

Seeing the chief of the criminal investigation section of the branch, Director Zhao of the local police station, who had brought people there first after receiving the alarm, came over to greet him.

"Old Wang, I haven't seen you for a while."

"I'd rather not see you."

Director Zhao was previously the deputy chief of the Criminal Investigation Division, and he and Chief Wang have been partners for many years.

"Let me first introduce you to the situation on the scene."

"You say..." Chief Wang of the Criminal Investigation Department glanced sideways at the body that had been pulled out of the foundation pit, and seeing that the forensic doctor had arrived, he did not rush over.

"The person who reported the case is a retired employee of the bed sheet factory named Yao Shumou, who is now in the police station. He said that he came here today to pick up a few bricks and found a person crawling in the foundation pit while walking around.

He called out a few times but no one responded, so he found a wooden stick and poked the body a few times. He found that the body was already stiff, so he quickly ran to the police station to call the police.

After we came over and brought the body up, Yao Shumou recognized it at a glance. The deceased was a truck driver from their factory named Wang Donghai.

Wang Donghai's neck was cut by a dagger from behind. This is the first scene. The blood splattered after the victim's neck was cut is in and beside the foundation pit.

At the same time, we found two sets of footprints near the bloodstains at the gate. After comparing the scene, we found that one set of shoe prints was the same as the shoes worn by the deceased, so they should have been left by the deceased.

The other group of footprints may be the murderer's. Judging from the traces left by the two groups of footprints, the deceased and the murderer knew each other, and they were walking side by side at the beginning.

When they reached the foundation pit, the murderer stood behind the deceased, and that was when he attacked the deceased. "

Director Zhao raised his hand and pointed as he spoke.

"Where are the family members of the deceased?" Section Chief Wang looked in the direction of his finger and asked.

“After the body was identified, she was taken to the police station. She said her husband told her yesterday afternoon that he had to work overtime to deliver goods to the county below and might not be home at night, so she didn’t care that he didn’t come home last night.

"Old Wang, when we came here, we found an empty oil barrel not far from the deceased, which held 20 kilograms. Considering Wang Donghai's identity as a truck driver, it is very likely that he brought this oil barrel."

Section Chief Wang turned his head to look at the foundation pit and saw the empty oil drum. His men were already collecting fingerprints.

Director Zhao did not stop talking.

"Do you think Wang Donghai might have secretly sold the fuel and had some conflicts with the buyer during the process, which is why...

After all, under normal circumstances, no one would come to this ruin in the middle of the night."

"Late at night? How do you know you came here in the middle of the night?" Section Chief Wang asked curiously.

"Oh, that's what the forensic doctor said. Before you came over, the forensic doctor conducted a preliminary examination and determined that Wang Donghai's death time should be about twelve hours ago.

It is now four o'clock in the afternoon, go back twelve hours and it will be four o'clock in the morning."

Section Chief Wang nodded and patted Director Zhao's arm: "Thank you, Lao Wang, you have done a lot for us."

"Haha, this is the area I manage. Of course I have to pay attention to it when a murder occurs. Don't be so hypocritical. I'll leave the scene to you. Please send someone to the station to take statements from the reporter and the family of the deceased. You can investigate the rest on your own.

By the way, Lao Wang, let me finally share my thoughts on this case. "

"you say"

"That empty oil drum. I personally feel that this case is closely related to that oil drum. Where did the oil go? Okay, that's all I have to say. I'll leave a few of you to maintain order at the scene, and I'll take the rest back with me."

"it is good"

After watching his old partner ask everyone in the institute to leave the scene, Section Chief Wang carefully walked around the marked footprints on the ground and came to the foundation pit.

……

At the same time, two investigators, Huang Zhennan and Gao Mantun, from the Investigation Section of the First Operation Division of the Social Affairs Bureau were driving to the Yangchao Bed Sheet Factory.

"Zhennan, you said that Liu Qingchuan is from Chengdong and Wang Donghai is from Yangchao. How did they become friends?"

"Who knows? Maybe they knew each other before liberation."

"Maybe." Gao Mantun turned his head and looked out the car window: "I just find it a little strange. Why is this Wang Donghai known to Liu Qingchuan's neighbors, but none of his close colleagues know him?"

"You'll know the reason when you meet him later."

To see people?

You can't see it anymore, all you see is a corpse.

When Huang Zhennan and Gao Mantun learned from the guard of the bed sheet factory that Wang Donghai had died at the construction site of the family compound, they were both stunned.

Su Xiaotong, who received the report, was even more confused.

The guard at the East City Library looked at the photo and identified Wang Donghai as the person who had been frequently looking for Liu Qingchuan recently. He was also the person yesterday afternoon.

Good man, they are determined to silence the witness.

"From the empty oil barrel, it seems that Wang Donghai was definitely involved in the fire at Liu Qingchuan's house this morning. After the fire, his accomplices killed him."

Having said that, Su Xiaotong paused, frowned, thought carefully for a while before continuing.

"If I'm not mistaken, there shouldn't be any accomplices like him among Wang Donghai's immediate circle of friends.

This person dared to kill Wang Donghai to silence him after setting the fire. He must have been certain that he could keep himself out of the matter. So, Old Sun, you make some arrangements. Continue to investigate the surrounding relationships of Wang and Liu. Don't miss any possibility. Then arrange for someone to conduct a detailed investigation of the fire scene and the scene of Wang Donghai's death. If you want to solve the case, you may have to go back to the traces left at the scene."

Sun He took the order and left, leaving Su Xiaotong sitting alone in the office looking at the case details recorded in the notebook.

He never imagined that so many things had happened since he received Luo Yang's call at eight o'clock last night asking him to help investigate Liu Qingchuan. It had not even been twenty-four hours yet.

There was a fire and a murder.

The key point is that they still haven't figured out the nature of this case.

He thought of what Luo Yang had told him, that there was something strange about the way this Liu Qingchuan looked at Luo Min.

Another purge operation against Li Yancheng?

But he always felt that this case should not be so simple.

Liu Qingchuan first committed suicide, and then his house was set on fire, killing his wife and children.

On this point, Su Xiaotong agrees more with Lao Xu's judgment.

The man surnamed Liu probably committed suicide out of fear of punishment.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

He is not even afraid of death and would rather commit suicide than surrender himself. His idea must be that his death will end the account.

This man surnamed Liu must be thinking that as long as he dies, no matter what he has done before, it will not have much impact on his wife and children.

But he didn't expect that his accomplices misunderstood him and thought he wanted to surrender, so they decided to strike first and set fire to Liu's house that night.

So, are they lurkers or...

The people on that committee and another group of people emerged in Su Xiaotong's mind.

He raised his hand and scratched his hair in annoyance.

It would be better if Wang and Liu were lurkers, but if they were...

If it really is those two groups of people, this case might end up being an unsolved case.

He doesn't like this feeling.

But there is nothing we can do.

Facing those two groups of people, he had no idea where to use his strength.

Ugh……

After staring at the notebook on the table for a while, he dropped the pen in his hand and leaned back in his chair.

No matter who they are, no matter what their motives are, all we can do now is to investigate step by step.

He raised his arm and looked at the watch on his wrist. It was almost six o'clock, so he stood up and walked out of the office. He also had to listen to the investigation report of Zhou Jianwen, the deputy captain of the second team, on the phone call from Yangcheng.

Just as he reached the door, he thought of something, turned around, walked back, picked up the photo of Wang Donghai on the table, stared at it, and walked out again.

……

5:40 pm, March 27, Office of the Director of the Social Affairs Bureau
"Old Guan, when will Comrade Yan Cheng's train arrive?"

"If it's not too late, it will be at 11 o'clock tonight. I have arranged for someone to pick me up at the station."

"Well, you've also read the Security Committee's documents. After this mission is over, let Comrade Yan Cheng focus his work on the research group at the military headquarters. You can talk to him tomorrow."

After nodding "OK", the director hesitated and said.

"Director Zhong, Comrade Yan Cheng has good medical skills. I have no objection to him joining the cancer research group at the military hospital, but I still reserve my opinion on leaving his post."

“Haha,” Director Zhong smiled and shook his head: “I don’t understand this order either, and I have argued with the leadership, but the committee has already issued a formal notice, and we can only execute it.

Alas... Yan Cheng is a capable guy. I didn't expect that his medical skills are even praised by the experts in the health care group.

Old Guan, you may not know this yet, but the leaders of the health department have contacted Mr. Wang and Mr. Fang several times, wanting to transfer Yan Cheng directly there, and the superiors of the main hospital have also contacted Vice President Sun.

If Elder Wang and Elder Fang hadn't refused to give in, Yan Cheng might have been transferred out of our bureau long ago."

Hearing this, the director curled his lips. Although he asked all the departments below to avoid asking Li Yancheng for help when handling cases, they should insist on handling cases independently and based on evidence.

But as long as this person is in their unit, how should I put it, that is a safety net. If this person is really transferred from their unit, even if he is still an interrogation expert appointed by the Security Committee, if they want to invite him back to help with the case, he will be an outsider.

Now when he heard that someone was planning to take advantage of Li Yancheng, the little flame in his heart started to rise.

But what's the use of getting angry? People are going directly to their superiors. Although he is the executive deputy director of the Social Affairs Bureau, he has no say in this matter.

"Director Zhong, do you think Elder Wang and Elder Fang can withstand the pressure?"

"If you ask me this, who should I ask?" Director Zhong spread his hands helplessly.

“It depends on what the higher-ups think. This is not something we can decide, but I personally think it’s unlikely that Yan Cheng will be transferred.

How should I put it? Although the work in our unit is a bit dangerous, Yan Cheng will face more dangers because he has mastered that special skill.

But generally speaking, those who want to move people in our unit will still think twice, and here, it is much more convenient to do many things. "

At this point, Director Zhong waved his hand and said, "Alright, old boss, let's not talk about him anymore. How is the investigation going with the phone call from Yangcheng on the third day of the Lunar New Year?"

"It's been too long, so we haven't made any progress yet. But I just heard from Comrade Guishan that they have discovered another case. No, it's now two cases, and it's very likely related to the sleeper."

"Oh? What case?"

"Speaking of which, this case is also related to Yan Cheng."

"Tell me about it in detail." When Director Zhong heard that it was related to the lurker and Li Yancheng, he immediately became interested.

"The incident started with Yan Cheng's wife, Comrade Luo Min. After Yan Cheng went on a business trip, the job of picking up and dropping off his wife every day fell on his wife's second brother Luo Yang.

When Luo Yang picked up Comrade Luo Min from get off work yesterday afternoon, he noticed that one of her colleagues looked at her in a strange way, so he called Xiao Tong and asked him to investigate this person.

Director Zhong, you should know that Mr. Luo’s youngest son has received several years of professional security training.”

"Yes, I've heard of it." Director Zhong nodded and motioned for the director to continue.

"The person Luo Yang asked Xiao Tong to investigate is called Liu Qingchuan, an employee of the East City Library. According to Xiao Tong's arrangement, he was originally going to be investigated today.

However, at about 2 a.m. this morning, a fire broke out in the home of Liu Qingchuan, killing all four members of his family.

Hearing this, Director Zhong raised his eyebrows but said nothing.

"It has been basically ascertained that the cause of the fire was arson, and that gasoline was poured on the Liu family's home. Most importantly, it has now been ascertained that Liu Qingchuan was already dead before the fire started."
