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

Chapter 149 His and Her Identities!

Four p.m.

Upon hearing that the identities of the sixth and seventh victims had been discovered, He Jinbo and Zheng Kang rushed to Annan Commercial Bank without stopping.

These two old guys aren't very good at solving cases, but they have an extremely keen sense of smell.

They vaguely sensed that the clue Yang Jinwen and Maozi were following might lead to a solution to the case, and they couldn't help but feel excited.

It's important to understand that identifying a body that has been disfigured or burned beyond recognition is extremely difficult.

Even with clearly recognizable unidentified corpses, it's not always possible to identify the deceased; funeral homes and hospital morgues have far too many such bodies.

But how many days did Yang Jinwen take? Just two days!

Although He Jinbo and Zheng Kang had already experienced Yang Jinwen's abilities firsthand, they still found it hard to believe.

They haven't forgotten how they got their current positions.

If it weren't for Yang Jinwen, where would they be now?
After the car stopped, the two old men went straight upstairs. Upon seeing Yang Jinwen, He Jinbo immediately smiled, even more warmly than he had with Lu Shaohua and Yang Guochang.

"Xiao Yang, oops, Captain Yang, have you really found out who these two people are?"

Yang Jinwen nodded, gestured with his chin towards them, and the four of them walked to a corner.

"Captain He, Master, we've already called. The feedback from head office is that Yu Lan hasn't gone to work since the morning of the 10th..."

"Are you sure?"

Yang Jinwen shook his head: "We still need to investigate carefully, but the undigested residue extracted from the gastric solution, as well as the traces of childbirth on corpse number seven, make me think it is most likely Yu Lan."

"Can we confirm that body number six is ​​Du Licheng?"

"There were ten people at the dinner. Apart from those two, the other eight are all at work as usual. I have already called the forensic doctor, Wen. We can't tell from their heights. It would be best to do a DNA test."

"DNA again?" He Jinbo stroked his chin. "Being able to find the person is already quite an achievement, and that's enough."

He looked at Zheng Kang: "Old Zheng, get a team of men and go to Yu Lan's house right now. Take her into custody! Especially her husband!"

"Ok!"

"We're going to Du Licheng's house now."

Du Licheng lived in Xingfu Community, a very common name, but at the time it was the best residential area in An'nan City.

Why? Because there's an elevator.

After getting the apartment number from the property management, He Jinbo found Building 5 and took the elevator to the tenth floor.

1002 is Du Licheng's home.

The cat knocked on the door, and a moment later, a woman opened it.

"Who are you looking for?"

He Jinbo said loudly, "We are from the Criminal Investigation Division of the Municipal Public Security Bureau. Is Du Licheng at home?"

Upon hearing this, Maozi touched his nose guiltily. These old-timers from the North City Brigade often used the detachment's name to swindle and cheat people. If they encountered a tough opponent, they would be dealt with sooner or later.

The woman looked surprised: "Police? What do you need Old Du for?"

He Jinbo didn't answer, but pushed open the door and went inside. Zheng Kang followed closely behind, his eyes scanning the room as if he were catching someone in the act, as if he wanted to find out who the adulterer was.

The woman was stunned; clearly, she had never encountered such an overbearing man before.

"No, what exactly do you want?"

He Jinbo withdrew his gaze and stared at her: "Where is Du Licheng?"

The woman crossed her arms, adopting a defensive posture: "I've gone on a business trip or for training."

Where are you going on your business trip?

"provincial capital."

"When did you leave?"

"The night of the 9th."

"Today is the 13th. He's been gone for four days. Have you spoken to him on the phone?"

"He's away on a business trip for half a month, he won't be back so soon."

Upon hearing this and seeing the woman's expression, Yang Jinwen knew that she was avoiding the question.

The relationship between the couple doesn't seem to be very good.

He Jinbo continued, "So you mean he didn't call home in these four days, and you didn't contact him either?"

The woman pursed her lips and remained silent.

Then, she sighed and walked into the living room.

Yang Jinwen noticed that she was holding her waist and there was a purple bruise on the back of her neck.

He Jinbo followed and heard the woman say, "He's busy with work and is a leader, so I usually don't disturb his work."

At this moment, Zheng Kang received a phone call. When he returned, he whispered to He Jinbo and Yang Jinwen, "Old Xu went to the head office to ask, and Du Licheng did indeed go to the provincial capital on the morning of the 10th for a business trip."

On the morning of the 10th, Du Licheng did not arrive in the provincial capital. It was on the afternoon of the 10th that the provincial capital called Anan Commercial Bank to report the situation.

The bank also notified the family, which means...

Zheng Kang glanced at the woman, but didn't finish his sentence.

He Jinbo stepped forward: "Ms. Xiang Chunxiao, you know that your husband, Du Licheng, has gone missing, right?"

Xiang Chunxiao sat on the sofa, arms crossed, her face indifferent.

"So what if I know?" She stared directly at the television screen opposite her.

"Don't you care where others are?" "That's none of my business."

"Is Du Licheng having an affair?"

Upon hearing this, Xiang Chunxiao raised her face and glanced at He Jinbo: "You already know, why are you asking?"

Do you know who he's sleeping with?

Xiang Chunxiao looked away and stared back at the television, her eyes flickering: "I don't know, and I don't care!"

Yang Jinwen walked around the sofa, stood opposite her, and said, word by word, "Yu Lan, this woman's name is Yu Lan."

Upon hearing the name, Xiang Chunxiao's gaze suddenly froze, followed by a look of panic.

Knowing he couldn't win her over here, He Jinbo then said, "Ms. Xiang, come with us."

After half an hour.

Department store in Annam.

When He Jinbo and his group arrived, Jiang Jianbing immediately led his men over.

"Are you sure the person is inside?"

"Yes." Jiang Jianbing nodded: "Yu Lan's husband, Zhao Jianxin, went in twenty minutes later."

"Is he alone?"

"She was holding a child in her arms, and our people are watching her from inside."

As He Jinbo pondered, Jiang Jianbing continued, "By the way, there's one more thing. Lao Xu and I searched all the trash cans at the train station and asked sanitation workers and homeless people nearby, but we couldn't find any discarded gasoline cans."

In addition, we also visited the area around the guesthouse, but we did not find any witnesses at the time of the incident.

That night and in the early morning, no one saw any cars or vehicles parked outside the guesthouse. I suspect that the group rode motorcycles, and that the crime was committed by locals from An'nan City.

As He Jinbo and his group walked towards the department store, they asked, "What else did you find out?"

Jiang Jianbing clicked his tongue: "Also, I heard that Chai Tao and his team caught a bunch of oil thieves and have already started screening people."

He Jinbo stroked his stubble: "What about the south side of the city?"

"Yan Bin and his team are digging deep into Yan Dahong's social connections, and they still believe that this group of people came for Yan Dahong."

Old Zheng, the loan shark you investigated last time, his name is Tian something, Yan Bin shut down his mahjong parlor and arrested all his gang.

That kid surnamed Tian is crying and begging in the detention center, saying he knows you and is asking everyone he knows to find your phone number.

Zheng Kang's face darkened: "I don't remember giving him my business card or saying my name."

Jiang Jianbing said, "If the police investigate him, they will definitely find out your identity. These people are very shrewd."

"Damn it," Zheng Kang cursed.

After the group entered, an old man from the Chengbei Brigade came over and gestured with his chin toward the second floor: "Captain He, Captain Zheng, Zhao Jianxin is in the children's clothing store upstairs, picking out clothes for his child."

"Bring the person down..."

Before He Jinbo could finish speaking, Yang Jinwen interrupted, "Captain He, let me go and make contact first?"

Zheng Kang frowned and said, "Isn't that unnecessary? We can just arrest them and interrogate them directly."

He Jinbo agreed: "That's right, Xiao Yang, no, Captain Yang, when we arrest people, we need to be multiple against one. Don't risk your life; your own life is the most important."

Moreover, we carried out the arrests with lightning speed. If done well, the suspects confessed on the spot, without even needing an interrogation room.

No wonder the last arrest operation was so disastrous, almost costing that female reporter her life. If they did it like that in the future, not only would they not get any credit, but they would also be publicly criticized.

Seeing Yang Jinwen frown, He Jinbo asked for his opinion: "So what are your thoughts?"

Everyone stared intently at Yang Jinwen, hoping he might have a better solution.

Yang Jinwen sighed softly, "They're holding a child. Yu Lan's child is only a little over a year old, right? What if the child gets hurt when we arrest them?"

After speaking, Yang Jinwen stepped onto the escalator.

He Jinbo and Zheng Kang watched his retreating figure and sighed deeply; they had naturally not expected this.

The older folks looked around nervously, lest the two leaders feel embarrassed.

In the 1990s, the development of police ideology still had a long way to go.

He Jinbo and Zheng Kang are considered relatively good; they don't force cases they can't solve, they don't act recklessly, and they don't transfer cases to the procuratorate without complete evidence.

I won't do what Yan Bin did, arresting people first and then figuring things out.

However, it is very difficult to change their mindset to pay attention to details and case-handling procedures.

Yang Jinwen arrived at the children's clothing store on the second floor and walked through the aisle.

Soon, a senior member of the team came over: "Xiao Yang, what brings you here?"

"Captain Wan, where is Zhao Jianxin?"

"Inside, she's wearing a black cotton-padded coat and holding a child with one hand."

Yang Jinwen followed his gaze and, sure enough, saw a man carrying a toddler girl, walking around the shelves, stopping and starting. When he saw clothes that fit, he took them off the clothes rack with one hand and showed them to his daughter.

As Yang Jinwen approached, he heard him ask, "Yangyang, do you like it? You can wear this red cotton-padded jacket for the New Year. You'll definitely look beautiful in it."

The little girl named Yangyang put her finger in her mouth and giggled.

Seeing her smile, Zhao Jianxin smiled too: "So you like it? Dad bought it for you? It's cold, we need to wear warmer clothes."

The little girl turned her head, her eyes sparkling.
