Restarting life by going to the countryside to support medical work

Chapter 524 Finally
But what they didn't know was that the people who taught them didn't have any good intentions.

They just kept insisting on not explaining anything and were only helping the other party to buy time.

and……

Shortly after midnight on the 14th, Zhu Dongjun, who had led people to search Guo Mingyi's house, returned.

They brought back highly suspicious evidence, a pair of black thousand-layer cloth shoes with a little blood stain on the edge of the shoe. Also, a drop of splashed liquid of unknown origin was found on the black upper, which needed to be tested.

Finally, there is a hammer, a hammer that has been obviously cleaned. Who would have the leisure to clean this thing? Isn't it obvious that he is trying to cover up his guilt?

It doesn't matter if it's washed. According to Zhu Dongjun's experience, if this hammer is really the one that killed Yang Daguang, judging from the way his head was hit, there should be blood seeping from the gap between the iron lump and the wood.

These three items have been sent back to the Municipal Bureau's laboratory for testing overnight. All they have to do now is wait. This time, it's not just the three items that need to be tested, but also the blood types of all the young and old in the Guo family.

Of course, blood type tests can be done in Rouhuai without the hassle of sending them to the city.

The victims Yang Daguang and Guo Meihua had previously undergone blood type tests, and it was found that one of them was type O and the other was type A.

If testing can confirm that the bloodstains on the shoes found in Guo Mingyi's home are O type, and no one in the Guo family has this blood type, then it can almost be confirmed that Guo Mingyi was indeed at the scene.

Although blood type cannot be used to make a unique identification, what they need now is a high degree of probability. Only in this way can they prove that the direction of their investigation is correct.

Oh, Zhu Dongjun also brought back a piece of news. After he led people to search Guo Mingyi's house, he stopped by the commune clinic on his way back.

There was a doctor on duty in the clinic at night. Zhu Dongjun asked the doctor and confirmed that five days ago, Guo Mingyi's wife Xie Lingling had prescribed ten sleeping pills from him.

But the problem is, these medicines were not found in Guo Mingyi’s home. How could he take ten pills in five days?
The doctor said that if the person really took the medicine like this, the person who took the medicine should be in the hospital now and would not be alive and well.

The doctor's words indirectly confirmed that those medicines could not have been taken by Xie Lingling, but now the medicines are gone. Can we assume that those medicines were given to other people in the Guo family by her on the night of the 11th? That's why the other people in the Guo family slept so soundly that night and woke up feeling groggy the next morning?

Could it be that the couple committed the crime together?
No, as soon as this thought came into Li Yancheng's mind, he drove it away by shaking his head.

There are witnesses who can prove that Guo Mingyi returned to the village at dawn yesterday morning, and some people also saw him on the street of Qiaoba Commune the night before, but no one saw Xie Lingling there.

He didn't think that if the couple went out together late at night, they would separate.

Judging from the situation at the crime scene, there is no doubt that there were two perpetrators of the murder. If one of them was Guo Mingyi, who was the other one?

Now the only breakthrough is from Guo Mingyi.

Thinking that the two children might still be in the hands of another murderer, Li Yancheng threw the remaining cigarette on the ground, put it out with his foot and said, "Let's go. I won't wait for the test results. I will use my own method to meet this Guo Mingyi."

Zhu Dongjun, who was standing by, was shocked when he heard what his leader said. He could see that miraculous interrogation method again.

The reason why Li Yancheng never used that method was because he didn't want his subordinates to become dependent on him. Also, he wanted to change the habit of investigators who focused more on confessions than on evidence.

So in this case, he has been emphasizing the prohibition of using those methods during interrogation, but when he thought of the two underage children still in the hands of criminals, he felt that he could not delay it any longer. Well, he made an exception this time, hoping to rescue the two children.

Since he took action personally, naturally everything was no problem. Half an hour later, three jeeps filed out of the county bureau compound to arrest another, no, two other criminals.

Lin Wentao used to work in the Criminal Investigation Division of the Municipal Bureau. He had seen Li Yancheng's interrogation methods before, so he didn't have a strong reaction after seeing them again today. He just felt a little emotional. In this guy's hands, even a mute could be made to confess.

Wang Changhai, who was also at the interrogation scene, was completely stunned when he saw what was happening before his eyes.

"Director..."

After Li Yancheng and Zhu Dongjun went out and the somewhat listless Guo Mingyi was also taken out, Wang Changhai seemed to come to his senses at this time. He looked at Lin Wentao who was about to go out with an incredulous look on his face, intending to confirm with him whether what he had just seen was true or false.

He wondered if he was too sleepy and fell asleep while standing there and was dreaming.

Lin Wentao, who had already walked to the door, stopped and turned to look at his deputy who had the same reaction as he had when he first saw the scene. He chuckled and said, "Don't doubt your eyes. What you see is real."

"No wonder!" Seeing that Lin Wentao confirmed that what he had just seen was real, Wang Changhai said with some emotion.

"No wonder Director Li is the interrogation expert in the department at such a young age. No wonder the higher-ups made him the deputy director in charge of criminal investigation right after he arrived. It turns out our leader has this skill.

Director, doesn't that mean that any criminal can't hide in front of Director Li? "

"You're right." Lin Wentao nodded, but added: "Changhai, do you still remember what Director Li said at the first case analysis meeting yesterday?"

"Evidence is more important than confession?"

"Another sentence."

"You mean... even if there is no confession, we must prove him dead with irrefutable evidence."

"Yes, that's it."

Knowing that there was nothing to do for the time being and just waiting for news from the group of people who had gone out to arrest, Lin Wentao simply didn't rush out. He walked back from the door, sat down on the table, took out a cigarette and threw it to Wang Changhai.

"I talked to Director Li, and he told me that handling cases without confessions is only a long-term vision and is almost impossible to achieve at this stage. His current goal is to change the practice of our investigators relying on confessions to solve cases as much as possible.

Chang Hai, you are also an old criminal policeman. You should know that sometimes when handling cases, subordinates use many methods to obtain confessions. You should be very clear about the disadvantages of this. "

Hearing this, Wang Changhai nodded silently. Indeed, not to mention others, even he himself had used some means to solve the case.

Of course he knew what the consequences would be.

But sometimes there is really no other choice. The deadline for solving the case is just the word "deadline" which can cost the lives of these criminal police officers.

So...sigh...

But he can guarantee with a pat on his chest that in his more than 20 years as a police officer, he has never done anything that would have put him in a black and white position. He is worthy of the uniform on his body and the national emblem on his head.

But at the same time, he did not deny that there would definitely be problems of one kind or another, because he had seen them with his own eyes.

Focusing on evidence and neglecting confessions, or even handling cases without confessions?
He believed the first sentence, but he felt that the second sentence should be impossible to do unless he caught them in the act.

Otherwise, like the case they are currently handling, the criminals have completely destroyed the scene, so how could they possibly handle the case with zero confessions?

It is normal for him to have such thoughts, which are caused by the limitations of the times and his knowledge.

Technological development has not kept pace, and many investigative methods cannot be used even if they are known. That is why Li Yancheng said that handling cases with zero confessions is a long-term vision.

His current plan is to have investigators focus on finding evidence every time they receive a case, rather than getting angry at the suspect and making up some unfounded accusations.

Of course, his plan is a long and arduous journey and can only be achieved step by step. In Li Yancheng's view, if he can leave his name on the road of legal system construction, it will not be in vain.

"Our Deputy Director Li has a long-term vision and lofty ideals. Changhai, we are both only in our forties. As long as we can keep up with his footsteps, I believe the future will be different.

At this point I have to talk about the First Squadron of the Criminal Police Brigade..."

Seeing Lin Wentao mention the First Squadron again, Wang Changhai's face darkened. As the deputy director in charge of criminal investigation, when he learned that the First Squadron had been perfunctory during the visit, he really wanted to beat up those people.

It's okay to be lazy at ordinary times, we are all family, it doesn't matter if you talk about it behind closed doors, but they dare to do this in front of the leaders of the Municipal Bureau. They are really going too far.

"Changhai, my opinion is that the captain and deputy captain of the first squadron should be dismissed, and all the personnel of the first squadron, including the two of them, should be sent to the commune police station for training, and it should be a remote commune.

After this case is over, I plan to hold a team meeting and bring up this matter. What do you think?"

Without any hesitation, Wang Changhai nodded heavily as soon as Lin Wentao finished speaking: "Director, I unconditionally support your idea.

But all the personnel of the first squadron have been transferred away, how should they be replenished next? "

"You should discuss this with Jianshe. Oh, and about the punishment for Jianshe, he is the captain of the criminal police brigade. It is his responsibility if they fail to lead the team well. We can discuss how to punish him later. Let's solve this case first."

"Okay, but Jianshe can't be the only one to be punished. Shen Yongfeng, as the instructor of the Criminal Police Brigade, has also been held responsible for the situation the team has faced."

"Of course," Lin Wentao nodded in agreement.

It is rare that Wang Changhai supports Lin Wentao's work so straightforwardly for the first time. In return, Director Lin plans to hand over the subsequent personnel supplementation of the First Squadron of the Criminal Police Brigade to Deputy Director Wang.

Shen Yongfeng, the instructor of the Criminal Police Brigade, didn't know that while he was still lying in the hospital after having an appendectomy, a punishment had already fallen on his head.

However, he did not deserve the punishment at all. As the instructor of the criminal police team, it was his job to build the team's work style. There were problems with the team's work style, big problems at that. He was caught in the act by the city bureau leaders, so who else could he blame but him?

"Let's go, Changhai!"

Now that they had reached a consensus, Lin Wentao did not plan to stay here any longer. He got down from the table and said, "The case will be closed within 48 hours. This will be an explanation to the county."

At this time, it was already past one in the morning of the 14th. The crime occurred late at night on the 11th, or to be more precise, in the early morning of the 12th. The alarm was received at around nine in the morning of the 12th.

From the time the crime was discovered to the time the case was closed, this major criminal case involving two deaths and two missing persons was solved in 48 hours, which is already very impressive.

Now they are all waiting, waiting for the capture team to return triumphantly.

Li Yancheng stood in the yard and took the cigarette handed to him by Zhu Dongjun. Even though his mouth was tasteless from smoking, he still had to smoke. There was no other way. It had been more than 40 hours since they got up in the morning of the 12th. They didn't even have time to close their eyes. They could only rely on cigarettes and strong tea to survive.

"Director Li, do you think the person Qi Feng gave away this time could be the guy we've been looking for all these years?"

"Based on the continuity of the crimes, it must be him."

"You mean, it was because of that mistake that he attracted others and almost got himself killed, so after that, the murderer started to kill people the next time he committed a crime."

"Yes," Li Yancheng nodded.

"So did you tell me whether he had committed any crimes from May 1st to the August 28 Incident?"

"Probably not. Didn't Qi Feng say that the man most likely had a broken rib? For an old man in his 50s or 60s, it should take more than three months to recover from a broken bone.

So the August 28 incident was probably his first crime after May 1st.”

"A middle-aged man in his fifties or sixties." Zhu Dongjun repeated this sentence again, and then shook his head in disbelief.

"I really don't understand. Ten years ago, when he was in his 40s or 50s, he was addicted. That was understandable, but now at this age, why is he still so..."

He stopped here because he really couldn't find a suitable word.

Li Yancheng didn't respond. He actually knew there was a disease called hyperactivity disorder. He learned about it on the Internet in his previous life. It was a psychological disorder.

But it is not known whether the murderer also suffers from this mental illness.

In short, being sick is not an excuse to harm others at will. No matter what the reason is, it is necessary to bring him to justice.

Seeing that Li Yancheng didn't say anything, Zhu Dongjun asked again: "Director Li, do you still think that this criminal suffered a family tragedy, which is why he committed crimes again ten years later?"

"No," Li Yancheng waved his hand and said, "Since this person is very likely to have been committing crimes in the past ten years, but no one has reported it, and our grassroots work has not been done well, so we have never known about it.

In this case, the previous judgment conditions must also be adjusted accordingly, but... it is only changed to that he is currently single, or that he should always be single. "

Hearing this, Zhu Dongjun nodded. He thought so too.

The series of cases are already known to everyone. If he had a family and often went out late at night, he would have been suspected a long time ago, unless his job was very special and going out at night would not attract anyone's attention.

"There's just one thing I still don't understand." Li Yancheng continued, "How on earth did he know the footprints so well? According to Hu Rui, the man took a pair of crutches when he fled the scene, and he was wearing shoes on the crutches.

The criminal should have made a fake foot for the crutch. The purpose of doing so was to deliberately leave fake footprints at the scene to confuse us, or to mislead us.

So the question is, why is he so familiar with our case handling process? And how did he manage to leave the same footprints ten years later as ten years ago? "

Zhu Dongjun couldn't give an answer to this question. If he could answer it, then the case would be solved.

As soon as Li Yancheng finished speaking, Lin Wentao and Wang Changhai also walked out of the interrogation room.

He had been busy with interrogation and arranging arrests, and now all he had to do was wait. As soon as he came over, Lin Wentao began to review himself without any other nonsense.

Seeing this, Zhu Dongjun took a few steps to the side. Although he was the deputy chief of the Criminal Investigation Corps, the Rouhuai County Bureau had no affiliation with the Corps. The most he could do was to provide guidance to the Rouhuai County Bureau on criminal investigation business.

Now the main leaders of the Rouhuai County Bureau and the leaders of the Municipal Bureau are reviewing their work, so it is better for him to stay away and there is no need for him to join in the fun.

Seeing him stepping back, Wang Changhai quickly took a few steps to the side.

On this side, Li Yancheng didn't say anything, but just listened quietly while smoking. After Lin Wentao finished his self-criticism, he nodded lightly and said "hmm", without making any comments or giving any instructions.

As for Wang Changhai, he is not qualified to make a self-criticism directly to the leaders of the Municipal Bureau.

Li Yancheng's reaction made Lin Wentao a little unsure. He thought that no matter whether Deputy Director Li was angry or not, even if he criticized him or scolded him, it would be better than his current indifferent attitude.

Just when he was at a loss and didn't know what to do, our Deputy Director Li finally spoke. He raised his hand and patted Lin Wentao on the shoulder.

With just such a light tap, Director Lin's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down a little.

"You haven't done your job well. As a paratrooper, it is certain that your work is not going well. But no matter how difficult it is, since the organization has decided to let you take on this important task, you must find a way to do it well.

But what about you now? Wentao, your control over the entire county bureau is still too weak. Let me give you one year, from now until the National Day next year. If you still can't turn the current situation around, it only means that you are not suitable to be the top leader. By then, I will arrange a new position for you in the municipal bureau.

What do you think? Do you dare to take on this task? If you feel that you can't do it, don't force yourself, just find someone else.

But if you take on this task and don't do well during this period, or if we find that you are really not suitable for this job, the organization may replace you at any time.

Grassroots work is not easy, but it is very important. We cannot let the Rouhuai County Bureau be out of control."
