You're supposed to be a security officer, what case are you solving?

Chapter 112 We Sneaked In!

Yulin Road Police Station.

In the deputy director's office.

Wen Jian sat in the chair, looking at Yang Jinwen with great curiosity, his eyes sharp but also a little bewildered.

It's like a hyena suddenly sneaking into a sheepfold.

Wenling, the little lamb, mistook it for one of her own kind.

Wen Ling looked at her cousin, who was gripping his thermos tightly, his eyes filled with wariness.

After they sat down, he didn't say a word, but stared at Yang Jinwen with a scrutinizing look.

Just as she was about to explain, Wen Jian suddenly asked, "Does my second uncle know?"

"Huh?" Wen Ling frowned: "Comrade Wen Jian, please correct your attitude and stop making wild guesses!"

Comrade Yang Jinwen is from our Criminal Investigation Brigade. We've come mainly to inquire about some things with you.

"Forget it." Wen Jian looked at her with utter disdain.

"Don't I know what kind of person you are? I've never seen you so serious since you were a child. The more serious you are, the more it proves that you have something on your mind. Everyone in our family knows you well."

Seeing his cousin's murderous glare, he quickly called out to Yang Jinwen, "Um... Yang Jinwen, right, Xiao Yang?"

Yang Jinwen nodded hurriedly.

How old are you this year?

"Uh……"

What is your family's social class?

Wen Ling quickly interjected, "Brother, we really have something to discuss, don't joke around! Don't talk about family matters during work hours!"

Wen Jian seized on her weakness immediately: "See? You've confessed without being asked!"

Wen Ling's face flushed red instantly, her cheeks puffed out, and she glared fiercely at her cousin.

Seeing that the two siblings were about to start arguing, Yang Jinwen quickly explained, "Director Wen, it's like this, I wanted to ask about missing persons cases in recent years, and Wen Ling happens to be free today..."

Before he could finish speaking, Wen Jian interrupted, "You want to ask about the missing female college student from the teachers' college across the street, right?"

Yang Jinwen nodded: "Yes."

Wen Jian frowned, his expression becoming noticeably more solemn.

"What has your criminal investigation team found? Did He Jinbo send you here?"

Yang Jinwen shook his head: "It was my own idea to investigate. Our captain and Captain Wen are still in Dong'an City and won't be back for a few days."

Wen Jian stared at him: "Explain yourself clearly. Why are you investigating? What are you investigating? What do you think is wrong? Ordinary missing persons cases wouldn't even reach your criminal investigation team. What exactly are you thinking?"

Seeing his firm tone, Wen Ling leaned close to Yang Jinwen's ear and reminded him, "This guy is also involved in serious cases at the station. He wanted to join the criminal investigation team, but his wish was not fulfilled."

So he's been harboring resentment and has a prejudice against you detectives. Don't back down, just confront him directly.

Wen Ling nodded very seriously, not caring at all whether her cousin had heard her or not.

They don't even try to hide their treachery... At this moment, Wen Jian felt exactly the same way as Maozi did yesterday.

Just two words: heartbreaking! Absolutely fucking heartbreaking!

Yang Jinwen, of course, did not listen to Wen Ling; women love to ruin friendships between men.

Men's feelings can be summed up in a single cigarette.

Yang Jinwen decisively took out a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes and handed one to Wen Jian.

Seeing that he was good at handling things, Wen Jian took the cigarette and, without hesitation, took out a lighter and lit it for Yang Jinwen.

Yang Jinwen quickly pushed the glass ashtray on the coffee table in front of Wen Jian so that he could knock off his cigarette ash.

Wen Jian tapped the coffee table with his fingers, clearly enjoying the gesture.

The movements were fluid and graceful. The two men exchanged a smile, and their feelings for each other quickly intensified.

Wen Ling had absolutely no idea how these two people had suddenly hit it off.

Yang Jinwen then revealed the disappearance of the female student from Chengnan Health School and shared his speculations.

Wen Jian became increasingly alarmed as he listened: "You're not the only one who suspects this."

Yang Jinwen pondered, "Did someone from the South City Criminal Police Brigade also inquire about this?"

“Just a few hours ago, two criminal police officers named Jiang Jianguo and Fu Yun went to the teachers’ college across the street after asking about the situation.”

Now Yang Jinwen understood that he wasn't the only one holding this view.

If Jiang Bala and Fu Yun did indeed have some doubts, then it would prove that their guesses might be correct.

People from both the south and north of the city came to the office to inquire about this matter, so Wen Jian had to take it seriously.

"Could these girls really have been murdered by someone? If so, this is a huge case!"

Yang Jinwen nodded: "So, in recent years, how many female college students from teachers' colleges have gone missing?"

Wen Jian leaned forward and pondered, "What I told them was that if they wanted to investigate, they should bring the cooperation documents from above, which need to be signed and stamped by the branch bureau leader. These two guys obviously don't have that."

It seems they're investigating separately, in the same situation as you.

Yang Jinwen deliberately said, "That's different. They are conducting investigations across jurisdictions, while we are only in one district."

Wen Jian shook his head: "That's not right! When it comes to serious criminal cases, there's no distinction between people. The important thing is to find out the truth."

If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known about the situation at Chengnan Health School. They were keeping it to themselves and didn't dare to speak frankly. As for the missing female student from the Teachers' College, I can't answer that for you right now either.

"So, I have their phone numbers. I'll call them over, and we can talk to each other. What do you think?"

Yang Jinwen nodded, "Of course."

"I'll make a phone call first, then ask the police officer in charge of missing persons cases about the situation."

After Wen Jian left, Wen Ling quickly said, "Yang Jinwen, he wants to set up a special task force at Yulin Police Station. He has quite the ambition."

Yang Jinwen smiled and said, "Looks like your dad is his idol? They talk and act in similar ways."

Wen Ling shrugged: "When we were little, we played cops and robbers. My cousins ​​all wanted to be the police and treated me like the bad guy. They all came to arrest me. I still remember that grudge to this day."

"And now? Is your whole family full of police officers?"

Wen Ling counted on her fingers one by one: "My grandfather, my eldest uncle, my father, my eldest cousin, my cousin's wife, my second brother, and that Wen Jian from earlier is my second brother, plus me..."

Yang Jinwen's eyes widened: "A family of police officers?"

Wen Ling shook her head: "No, I also have some relatives working in the city and the provincial capital."

Seeing Yang Jinwen's curiosity, she enthusiastically outlined their family structure, which could be summed up in two words: a wealthy and powerful family.

Wenling's grandfather used to work in the criminal technology department of the provincial capital; he was a senior forensic doctor and is now retired.

Wen Ling essentially inherited his mantle.

The two talked for nearly half an hour, which was the most in-depth and longest conversation Wen Ling and Yang Jinwen had ever had.

This made Wenling feel much better, sweeping away the gloom of the night before.

This is somewhat like a young couple in love, getting to know each other's family situations.

She was surprised to learn that Yang Jinwen's family consisted of two single men, one old and one young: "This won't do; there needs to be a woman in the family."

Yang Jinwen wholeheartedly agreed, as he had grown up eating the food of widows.

Whenever her father, Yang Dachuan, refused an offer, Yang Jinwen would go hungry. After a few days of hunger, she would go to another divorced woman with a child to freeload a meal.

When he was a child, the question he asked Yang Dachuan most often was: "Dad, will you two get together? If not, tell me in advance and give me more pocket money, so that you won't forget about me when you're busy with work and I won't have anywhere to eat."

Yang Jinwen recounted his ordeal, and Wen Ling, with tears in her eyes and overflowing with maternal instinct, offered him constant comfort.

Then she looked at the guy's height and found it suspicious.

Can someone who didn't have enough to eat as a child grow up to be 1.86 meters tall?
Wen Ling wanted to learn more, and at that moment, Wen Jian pushed open the office door and turned to them: "The people are here, let's go to the conference room."

Yang Jinwen breathed a sigh of relief and quickly stood up. If he continued chatting with Wen Ling, he would have to reveal the entire amount of his family's savings.

Upon arriving at the conference room on the first floor, Wen Jian pushed open the door.

Jiang Bala and Fu Yun stood up and narrowed their eyes slightly when they saw Yang Jinwen.

"Captain Jiang, Captain Fu." Yang Jinwen nodded; as a junior, he had to be polite.

Both of them nodded, and they were not as domineering as Yang Jinwen had imagined.

The Chengnan Criminal Investigation Brigade suffered a major setback due to the robbery of bus 705.

Liao Guohua tried to take credit but failed, and ended up getting himself into trouble. Yang Jinwen heard from Jiang Jianbing and the others that one of Jiang Bala's apprentices was named Qin Feng.

That night, he was shot by a thug. After being rushed to the hospital, he thought he was out of danger, but he still died from massive bleeding.

Even now, Yang Jinwen still clearly remembers Jiang Bala carrying him as he ran out of the stairwell.

While running, he shouted, "Xiao Qin, hang in there! Don't fall asleep! Master will take you to the hospital! Master will take you to the hospital right away!"

Yang Jinwen respects his opinion on this matter.

Wen Jian looked around the conference room and, seeing that no one else was paying attention, quickly closed the door and called to everyone, "Don't stand, sit down."

As Wen Ling had said before, this Wen Jian was ambitious.

After he sat down, he cleared his throat and said, "Since the teachers' college and the nursing school are in two different jurisdictions, and you're investigating the same things, let's not hide anything and just talk it out, okay?"

Jiang put one hand on the table and raised the other: "Let me ask a few questions first."

He looked at Yang Jinwen and said, "Were you sent by He Jinbo? Or did Zheng Kang send you to investigate these missing persons cases?"

Yang Jinwen shook his head: "Neither."

"What do you think?"

“Since 1992, female students from Chengnan Health School have been disappearing one after another, which is definitely suspicious. I tend to think that some of them may have been murdered!”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Bala and Fu Yun exchanged a complicated look.

The latter asked, "What clues have you found?"

Yang Jinwen leaned forward, not answering, but instead asking, "Captain Jiang, Captain Fu, it's my turn to ask you."

"Did you come here to investigate these missing persons cases on your own, or were you sent by the Chengnan Branch?"

“Hey, I’m talking to you…” Jiang Bala pointed at him.

Wen Jian interrupted him, saying with great distress, "Our three departments are cooperating, and we need to be honest with each other. Can't we have a little bit of the spirit of handling cases? I've already said it, let's not hide anything from each other!"

"Captain Jiang, tell me the truth, what do you mean by this?"

Jiang Bala pursed his lips and replied, "We also came here secretly to investigate."
