Restarting life by going to the countryside to support medical work

Chapter 398 Resistance
"Dong dong dong... dong dong dong..."

How long does it take to catch someone?
half an hour.

00:40 AM on March 28th.

With the cooperation of Director Zhang and Director Xu of the Finance Department, Cao Heguang was pinned to the ground by Su Xiaotong and his men before the sleepiness on his face had even subsided.

Su Xiaotong walked forward and squatted in front of Cao Heguang who was pinned to the ground. He reached out and grabbed his hair and lifted his head up.

At this time, the man surnamed Cao was still in a daze.

He didn't even realize why he was pressed to the ground. The stinging pain from his head forced his neck to move upwards with the force.

When he saw clearly that the person squatting in front of him was wearing a police uniform, he came to his senses a little and realized that he seemed to have been arrested.

but……

Why did they find themselves so quickly?

"What is your name?"

Just as Cao Heguang was stunned, he saw the young man who grabbed his hair and lifted his head up spoke.

"Cao...Cao Heguang."

"Do you know why we arrested you?"

"I don't know, Public Security Comrade, is it...is there some misunderstanding?"

"Misunderstanding?" Su Xiaotong smiled coldly.

"Do you know Liu Qingchuan?"

When he heard the name, Cao Heguang's pupils shrank involuntarily. It was indeed because of this matter.

but……

"do not know"

He didn't intend to admit it, because on the surface he really didn't know Liu Qingchuan, and he wanted to take a gamble that the police had no evidence.

"Don't know him? Haha, what about Wang Donghai?"

When this name came out again, Cao Heguang's heart sank to the soles of his feet. He couldn't understand why the police could find him so quickly.

Of course he knew that he must have left footprints at the scene, but with a population of several million in Beijing, how did the police manage to lock onto him in just twenty hours?

Moreover, the shoes he wore yesterday were borrowed from someone else and they didn't fit him well. It should have been impossible for the problem to be found on his head.

His mind raced. Although he knew that he might really be doomed this time, he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart.

"do not know"

"very good"

Seeing that he still denied it, Su Xiaotong smiled and patted Cao Heguang's face: "I hope you can keep your mouth shut to the end. It will be meaningless if you confess too early."

As he spoke, he released the hand that was holding the man surnamed Cao's hair. Just as he was about to stand up, he suddenly thought of something and continued, "By the way, Cao Heguang, I almost forgot to introduce myself. My name is Su Xiaotong. I'm not a police officer, but the deputy director of the First Action Division of the Social Affairs Bureau."

After saying this, he stood up and waved his hand: "Take it away."

Then he looked at Cao Heguang's wife and two sons who were immediately controlled in the house after the operation began.

"Take them with you."

And what about Cao Heguang?
He was completely dumbfounded at this point.

When he heard the three words "Social Affairs Bureau", he felt as if a basin of ice water was poured over his head in the coldest days of winter, and his whole body was frozen.

The Social Affairs Bureau, not the Public Security Bureau.

But why? Shouldn't murder cases be handled by the Public Security Bureau?
Of course he couldn't get the answer to this question now, because the moment he was pulled up from the ground, a black bag was put over his head, covering his eyes which seemed to be frozen.

Cao Heguang's wife and children were controlled on the bed. They had no idea what was going on. But it didn't matter anymore. Before finding out whether they were related to the case or not, they could not step out of the temporary cell.

"Please ask Director Zhang to come up as a witness. Search this house carefully."

After all the Cao family members were taken away, Su Xiaotong stood in the living room, looked around, and gave instructions to the people around him.

"Yes"

An hour later, after hearing the report that the Cao family's house had been searched and no other suspicious items were found, Su Xiaotong waved his hand to signal the team to disperse.

"Thank you for your cooperation, Director Zhang and Director Xu. Director Zhang, we will send you the relevant report after the case is concluded. Before that, I hope you can help appease the cadres and employees in your bureau as much as possible and ask them not to say anything nonsense outside."

"Please rest assured, Director Su."

Downstairs in the family building, Su Xiaotong walked over and shook hands with Director Zhang and Director Xu of the Finance Department respectively.

At this time, there were more than just the two of them downstairs. With such a loud noise and it being a quiet night, it would have been difficult not to hear it.

However, only a few other leaders of their unit walked to Director Zhang's side. After hearing that it was the Social Affairs Bureau who came to arrest Cao Heguang, the head of the Finance Section 1, they did not dare to ask any more questions.

After Su Xiaotong shook hands with the two men, he nodded to the others, then got on the jeep that had already driven in and led the team out of the Heavy Industry Bureau's staff compound.

Only a few leaders of the Heavy Industry Bureau, including Director Zhang, were left with serious looks on their faces.

"Lao Zhang, what on earth did Cao Heguang do wrong? Why didn't you tell me that the Social Affairs Bureau came to arrest him in the middle of the night?"

"I don't know exactly what I did wrong. When Director Su came to my house, he didn't say anything. He just asked me to cooperate in arresting him. He showed me a letter of introduction and an arrest warrant, and all the necessary formalities were in place.

Director Wang, you should also know that when the Social Affairs Bureau arrests someone, as long as the procedures are complete, no one has the right to stop it, otherwise they will be regarded as accomplices. I am old and I dare not put myself in trouble."

Director Zhang glanced at Director Wang who was sent by the committee and smiled with some disdain in his heart.

Why didn't you rush over to ask when the people from the Social Affairs Bureau were still here just now? Now that they have left, you come to ask me.

Haha, you guys are just jumping around in front of us, but when something really happens, you shrink back and dare not say a word.

Seeing that Director Wang looked constipated and didn't say anything, Director Zhang waved his hand and said, "Okay, go back and have a rest. We still have to go to work tomorrow, Comrade Xiuming."

"Director"

Hearing the director's name being called, Office Director Yang Xiuming walked over.

"Please arrange for everyone to go to the family compound early tomorrow morning and tell everyone, whether they are cadres, staff or family members, not to discuss what just happened in private, let alone spread it around."

"Ok"

"Yeah," Director Zhang nodded, turned and walked towards the staff building where he lived.

When the others saw that the director had left, they said hello to each other and left as well.

Only Director Wang continued to stand there for a while. Before leaving, he turned around and looked at Cao Heguang's house which had been sealed, with a gloomy look in his eyes.

……

When Cao Heguang, who was locked up in a backyard interrogation room, saw the young man who had just lifted his head, it was already past three o'clock in the morning of the 28th.

What he didn't know was that the reason for the delay of nearly two hours was that Su Xiaotong invited Deputy Director Yang from the Trace Examination Room of the Municipal Public Security Bureau to come and take a look at Cao Heguang's shoes that were taken from Cao's house.

After Deputy Director Yang confirmed that Cao Heguang's left shoes were more worn than his right shoes, and compared the footprints left by Cao just now, and confirmed that they were consistent with those left at the two crime scenes, Su Xiaotong came over with confidence and began the interrogation.

"Cao Heguang"

"age"

"Forty-eight years old"

"gender"

"male"

"Do you know why we arrested you?"

"Comrade, this is what I want to ask, I really don't know why you arrested me. No matter if you are from the Public Security Bureau or the Social Affairs Bureau, you have to provide evidence when arresting people. Do you rely on random arrests to solve cases now?
I don't know the two people you just asked about, and I don't know what happened. What rights do you have to arrest me?"

Cao Heguang was very cooperative in the first few questions, but when asked this question, I don’t know if he remembered that he couldn’t be so obedient, he started to become agitated.

If he hadn't been firmly fixed on that special chair, he would have looked so angry and glared that he would have wanted to eat the person alive.

Seeing that Cao Heguang, who had been brought back to the interrogation room, was still pretending to be stupid and weak, Su Xiaotong smiled faintly, stood up and walked out from behind the table, walked in front of Cao, and looked down at him.

"Cao Heguang, I told you just now when we were at your house that we are from the Social Affairs Bureau, not the Public Security Bureau. You should know clearly why we arrested you..."

"I don't know. I only know that you abuse your power and arrest people at will. I will sue you. I will report you to the higher authorities."

Before Su Xiaotong could finish his words, Cao Heguang interrupted him harshly.

"You can sue us if you want, but before you do that, explain clearly what you did."

"I have nothing to say. I didn't do anything."

"Cao Heguang, you don't think we would come and arrest you in the middle of the night without investigating anything, do you?"

"Who knows what's wrong with you?"

"Haha, I quite like the way you keep being tough. I hope you can stay tough forever and don't let me down."

Su Xiaotong smiled softly and patted Cao Heguang on the shoulder.

"Explain to me why there were your footprints at the fire scene of Liu Qingchuan's house."

"I don't understand what you are talking about. I don't even know the person you are talking about."

"Cao Heguang, do you think that if you steal a pair of shoes that don't fit someone else, we won't be able to find you because of the footprints left behind after you put them on?"

Cao Heguang pursed his lips and said nothing.

He didn't know what he should say, and he didn't understand the problem.

"Explain to me again why there were your footprints at the scene where Wang Donghai was murdered."

"Comrade, I don't know either of the two people you mentioned."

"It doesn't matter. If you don't know me, then I don't know you. But I want to tell you something."

Having said that, Su Xiaotong reached out to hold the baffle in front of the chair that fixed Cao Heguang, bent down and looked at him and spoke word by word.

"You may not know that when you and Wang Donghai set fire to the Liu family, Liu Qingchuan had already committed suicide by taking medicine. In other words, the fire you set killed Liu Qingchuan's wife and children, as well as his body."

唰

This time, Cao Heguang's face finally changed color, but it was fleeting.

If Su Xiaotong hadn't been staring at it, he might not have seen it.

This is enough.

Liu Qingchuan had committed suicide by taking poison before setting the fire.

This is the only sentence left in Cao Heguang's mind now.

He was a little bit unbelievable, but he suppressed his emotions and looked at Su Xiaotong who was bending over and standing in front of him.

He wanted to see clearly whether what the young man said was true or false.

Unfortunately, he couldn't see anything.

"Comrade, I don't understand why you are telling me this. Arson, suicide by taking poison, what does this have to do with me? I don't even know the two people you are talking about."

"It's okay. I'm just talking casually. Since you said you don't know him, then you don't know him. I'll give you some time to think about it slowly. When you figure it out, come find me."

Su Xiaotong didn't want to waste time talking to this guy named Cao for the time being. After saying this, he stood up and walked out.

"Wait, you can't just leave me here, I didn't commit any crime."

Seeing that everyone in the room was about to go out, Cao Heguang shouted loudly.

"You know best whether you have committed a crime or not. Your footprints were left at the scene. We have the power to keep you here until we prove that you are innocent."

bang
After hearing the door closing, Cao Heguang, who had been collapsed, took a deep breath, and his body collapsed, his face turning extremely pale.

Why? Why is this happening?

He really couldn't understand why the people from the Social Affairs Bureau would track him down so quickly.

Just by footprints?
In other words, who left any clues, Liu Qingchuan or Wang Donghai?

By the way, that person just said that Liu Qingchuan had committed suicide by taking medicine before the fire. What’s going on?
Cao Heguang felt that all these questions were about to burst his head.

can not be like this!

He took a few deep breaths and temporarily drove all those messy questions out of his mind. He thought that the first problem he had to face now was how to deal with the current situation.

First of all, he could be very sure that apart from footprints, he should not have left any other traces at the two crime scenes.

It should be said that he left those footprints intentionally.

In other words, the people from the Social Affairs Bureau should not have any other evidence.

As for whether the two dead guys left any clues, he planned to take a gamble.

After just over ten minutes, he had made up his mind to fight to the end.

In fact, it’s not that he really wants to hold on, but he is very clear that it has come to this, and whether he explains or not, the result he will face in the future will be the same.

In that case, he might as well keep his mouth shut. Maybe he can get a chance to escape death.

Su Xiaotong, who had dealt with such criminals for many years, certainly knew what this guy was thinking. The reason why he did not continue the interrogation was that he wanted to break Cao's psychological defenses by taking a roundabout way.

In fact, there is no other way to do this, as they really don't have any other evidence in their hands.

After coming out, Su Xiaotong brought his men to the interrogation room where Cao Heguang's wife was temporarily detained.

Less than ten minutes later, he came out again and walked into the interrogation room next door where Cao Heguang's son was held.

Less than ten minutes later, he came out again and came to the room where Cao Guorui, the second son of the Cao family, was imprisoned.
