Animal Detective

Chapter 99 Positive Significance
Harbin City.

Chen Chao and criminal police officer Pan Shunrong were in charge of this route.

"I never expected this case to turn out like this." Pan Shunrong has been a criminal investigator for more than ten years, but this is the first time he has encountered a case like this.

Multiple people conspired together, and the plot was premeditated for two years.

Think about when he finally committed the crime.

Guo Chunping suddenly appeared in his office. He was the property security manager, and Liu Laibin must have seen him before, and might even be quite familiar with him.

When Guo Chunping bared his fangs, preparing to commit the crime, Liu Laibin might have been planning to call for help.

Ask your own company's employees for help.

As it turned out, every single employee who came in turned out to be the murderer who wanted to kill them.

How desperate that must be.

Pan Shunrong felt a chill run down his spine just thinking about such a scenario.

Chen Chao looked up and sighed deeply.

He has never handled a case like this before.
This was also the first time.

"Captain Chen, how should we handle this? Liu Laibin also committed a hit-and-run, and the circumstances are so serious. What about Li Weiqin and the others? Did they really just stand by and watch without doing anything? If they insist on their case now, we won't have any evidence," Pan Shunrong asked again.

Chen Chao's expression turned serious.

Four years have passed since the case, and Guo Chunping is dead. Many things can simply be attributed to Guo Chunping, since there's no way to verify anything now that he's dead.

Wang Yongde said that Guo Chunping planned this, and Chen Chao believed him. After all, Guo Chunping had been the deputy head of the security department for so many years, and his professional skills were not much different from those of the police.

But who can say for sure what the truth is?

What if it was Li Weiqin and his group who planned this?

He reminded Pan Shunrong to watch out for the car, then said, "Let's take it one step at a time and bring Li Weiqin back first."

Before long, they arrived at their destination.

In Erdaokou Subdistrict, Harbin, there is a residential community called Dongfanghongjun.

Ha Chun's colleagues followed and got off the bus together.

According to household registration information, Li Weiqin divorced his wife 10 years ago and has been living with his parents since returning from Nanjiang.

The group went upstairs and knocked on the door.

"coming."

The door opened, and a middle-aged man wearing glasses appeared in the doorway.

Seeing the large group of people at the entrance, especially the police badges they were flashing, Li Weiqin was stunned.

"Son, who is it?" someone was calling from inside the house.

"Nobody's here, just some police officers. They've come over to ask you a few questions." Li Weiqin quickly regained his composure, called out to the inner room, and then said, "My parents are old. Could you let me tell them first, and then I'll go with you?"

Chen Chao nodded slightly, but Li Weiqin's calmness weighed heavily on his mind.

He could predict that Li Weiqin would give the exact same answer as Wang Yongde.

Sure enough, after Li Weiqin was taken back to the police station for questioning, he gave the same testimony.

In September 2010, Guo Chunping found him, and after careful consideration, he chose to act on behalf of Heaven.

Li Weiqin angrily used the phrase "acting on behalf of Heaven" to explain his actions.

Then, like Wang Yongde and Sun Min, they arrived in Nanjiang in 11. Based on their previous experience in sales, they quickly became Liu Laibin's business manager.

When the crime was committed, just as Wang Yongde said, he only watched and Guo Chunping did it on his behalf.

Chen Chao was silent for a while, then asked in return, "I sympathize with your situation and feel that Liu Laibin's behavior was despicable and deserved to die. But have you ever considered that this was intentional homicide? Don't think that just because you didn't lay a hand on him at the last moment, you can get away with it."

“Your actions could be considered complicity. Even if the court finds your offenses to be relatively minor, it will still be a minimum of three years and a maximum of ten years. You are only 41 years old, you still have parents. If you go to jail, your life will definitely be affected. Haven’t you considered these things?”

Li Weiqin looked at Chen Chao calmly for a long time, then suddenly chuckled and said in a desolate voice, "My life was over when my son was abducted and died."

Chen Chao was speechless for a moment and could not say anything more. He raised his hand, signaling to take Li Weiqin away.

……

Shen Xin and Ding Yuwei arrived back in Nanjiang the next day.

Considering Sun Min's health condition and the fact that she couldn't be separated from Wang Yongde, they had no choice but to bring the elderly couple back with them.

Sun Min was sent to the hospital for treatment, while Wang Yongde was detained and had his statement retaken.

The other groups also returned one after another.

As expected, the population supply remained largely consistent across all groups.

The case investigation has reached a point where only some wrap-up work remains. Shen Xin was enveloped by a strange emotion.

Just like Poirot's moral dilemma in the end of Murder on the Orient Express, Shen Xin felt emotionally that if he hadn't started with the parrot, the case might not have been solved.

The scheme of Guo Chunping and his associates will forever remain unsolved.

And now, Guo Chunping has committed suicide by jumping off a building.

Li Weiqin and his five families also became accomplices, and each of them will have to pay the price.

And then there's Liu Laibin. Emotionally, Shen Xin feels that Liu Laibin deserves to die; he didn't lose out.

But when he thought of Tingting, he felt that although Liu Laibin was wrong, he didn't deserve to end up like this.

Shen Xin took a day off to clear his mind.

But he couldn't stay at home either, and for some inexplicable reason, he thought of Blue again and went to the zoo.

"They've laid eggs! Three eggs in one go, that's quite an achievement." Li Xiaobing said with a smile as he looked up at the tree hole above the parrot display area, which was not yet open to the public.

Blue was very responsible and always looked after Hua Hua.

However, when Shen Xin called out, it heard him, flapped its wings, and landed on Shen Xin's shoulder.

"Tingting, Tingting."

He shouted excitedly, as if he wanted to show Tingting his child.

Shen Xin's heart sank. The case was currently in the final stages of investigation, and Shi Yanhua had not yet been officially notified.

There's another version of the story about the five people.

That is, Guo Chunping once said that once the case is exposed, he would choose to jump off a building, and then his house and property could be sold to compensate Shi Yanhua, in order to get the five people to obtain a letter of forgiveness from Shi Yanhua.

This wasn't fabricated by the five people; there was a recording of Guo Chunping.

Fan Huizhen took it out.

Clearly, before taking action, Guo Chunping had considered as many consequences as possible and tried to mitigate the five people's guilt.

While feeding Blue, someone suddenly tapped me on the back.

Shen Xin shuddered in fright.

Turning my head, I saw that it was Ding Yuwei.

"How did you come?"

So you're not going to work anymore?

Ding Yuwei also picked up a nut and handed it to Bru to eat, then said, "Just like you, I took leave. I was originally going to talk to you, but you didn't answer my calls, so I guessed you might be here."

Shen Xin took out his phone, but there were no missed calls.

"What do you want to talk to me about?" Shen Xin forced a smile.

Ding Yuwei stepped forward and leaned against the railing, saying, "Do you feel guilty, like you shouldn't have investigated this case thoroughly?"

Actually, Chen Chao felt that Shen Xin was in a bad mood, so he asked Ding Yuwei to come over.

In Chen Chao's words, you two are partners, and if there's a problem with the partnership, you have to take responsibility.

Shen Xin didn't say anything.

Ding Yuwei said, "Actually, I also have this thought. I feel that Wang Yongde and the others are particularly pitiful, but we are police officers after all, and our duty is to find out the facts."

"You can think about it from another perspective. Take Officer Qin, for example. He had a cold case for several years, and he didn't solve it until he retired. Now that it's been solved, it's like a weight has been lifted off his shoulders."

"And those children who died unexpectedly, as their families, they should also want to know what really happened back then. That would be a comfort to them."

"So I think that clarifying this case will have many positive implications."

After saying that, he smiled at Shen Xin and asked if Shen Xin was in a better mood.

"No, don't try to persuade people next time, your skills are terrible." Shen Xin snorted, then couldn't help but laugh.

Ding Yuwei punched Shen Xin on the shoulder in a fit of anger.

"By the way, when I was leaving the branch office just now, I heard Captain Sun and Captain Chen talking, discussing having us continue investigating cold cases. Have you thought about what case we'll investigate next?" Ding Yuwei asked.

A case suddenly popped into Shen Xin's mind.

In 11, truck driver Xiao Hong was found dead on National Highway 319, which connects Nanjiang and Jigang.

Six years have passed since then.

Shen Xin thought of Guo Chunping, who had tirelessly investigated Liu Laibin along that road for a whole year.

So why can't we continue with Xiao Hong's case?
