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

Chapter 155 Black Clinic
Yang Jinwen asked Gou Hao the question in front of him to confirm the truth of his inference.

Gou Li's colleague said that she asked for leave because she had an upset stomach.

Gou Hao also said that his sister got pregnant by Du Licheng.

Residents of Chunfeng Lane said that Gou Li disappeared after the 10th, which was the day after the incident.

When the criminal police team from the north of the city arrived, the small colored lights on the outer wall were not turned off, the door was not locked, and noodles had been cooked in an aluminum pot with three eggs.

By comparing several clues, it's highly likely that Gou Hao went to deliver food.

So where is Gou Li?

If Gou Li had been pregnant for a long time, her colleagues would have noticed. She would either have taken leave to give birth or had an abortion.

Abortions are performed either in hospitals or clinics.

Sure enough, Gou Hao's expression became confused.

He Jinbo suddenly realized what was happening and quickly called Wang Daquan from the joint defense team.

The joint defense team arrived quickly; none of them were wearing uniforms, only armbands to identify themselves.

After discussing it, the group decided to expand outwards along the streets of Chunfeng Lane.

Gou Hao remained seated on the bench, his expression shifting between light and dark.

But no one paid him any attention; only Yang Jinwen stood to the side, watching his expression.

Time passed slowly.

After a mental struggle, Gou Hao turned around and shouted, "I confess, I confess, don't go looking for my sister!"

At the same time, He Jinbo shouted from outside, "Take Gou Hao back! Gou Li has been found!"

Upon hearing this, Gou Hao's shoulders slumped, like a deflated balloon.

Yang Jinwen walked up to him: "Didn't you want to confess?"

Gou Hao glared at him fiercely; if his hands hadn't been cuffed behind his back, he would have pounced on him.

Cat stepped forward and smacked him on the back of the head: "Who are you glaring at? Let me tell you, you've got some nerve going against government agencies."

Yang Jinwen said, "Gou Hao, all the things you confessed to were fabricated, right? We'll have a proper talk after we catch Zhao Xiong and Kou Yong."

Then, Gou Hao was taken away by the criminal police.

Yang Jinwen and Maozi rode in Wen Mo's car, following He Jinbo and the others to the clinic a kilometer away.

The clinic's roller shutter door had been pulled up, and two light bulbs were hanging from the ceiling.

The joint defense team arrived first and had already taken the doctor at the clinic under control.

The so-called doctors are actually just quacks, most of whom do not have medical licenses.

He and his wife run the clinic together. They're okay at treating colds and giving IV drips, but they're only mediocre at everything else.

Every year, there are quite a few cases of people dying because of treatment at unlicensed clinics. Doctors there are often quite authoritative, and they can easily absolve themselves of any responsibility by spouting nonsense to the families.

There is a small room at the very back of the clinic with two beds.

Gou Li was lying on the bed by the window, with an IV drip hanging from the back of her left hand. On the table next to the bed was a lunchbox containing unfinished noodles and eggs.

She was pale and weak, unable to move.

Because too many people were crowding in, the joint defense team was asked to leave first, leaving only the criminal police team inside.

As soon as Yang Jinwen and Maozi entered the door, He Jinbo spoke.

"You're Gou Li, right?"

Judging by her appearance alone, she was not bad-looking. After all, girls who frequented the Golden Age cabaret were bound to be somewhat attractive.

Upon seeing a room full of people, Gou Li's eyes immediately filled with panic.

"Stop pretending, get up!" Jiang Jianbing said bluntly.

He Jinbo nodded, and Jiang Jianbing and a few other old men pulled Gou Li's upper body up and made her lean against the headboard.

Gou Li gritted her teeth, cold sweat beading on her forehead.

"You...what are you going to do?"

He Jinbo showed his identification and introduced himself, "We are from the North City Criminal Investigation Brigade. Do you know why we're looking for you?"

Gou Li shrank back: "I...I don't know."

"Do Zhao Xiong and Kou Yong know each other?"

Gou Li's expression grew increasingly confused, and sweat poured down her forehead.

"...What do you want with them?"

"Just answer whatever they ask you!"

"They went back to their hometown."

Where are they from?

"Wuyang Town, Lingmeng County".

"Your hometown is also Wuyang Town?"

Gou Li nodded, then asked, "What do you want with them?"

He Jinbo asked, "You don't know what they did?"

Gou Li shook her head: "I...I don't know."

When was the last time you saw them?

"Just a few days ago, one morning..."

"What specific day?"

"I took the day off on the 10th."

Where did you see them?

“My home is my brother’s video arcade.”

"and then?"

“My brother told them to take a nap first, and then they’ll go back to their hometown.” Gou Li didn’t hide anything and answered all the questions that needed to be answered.

At this time, He Jinbo had already gone out and called the Wuyang Town Police Station to see if the situation was true.

Yang Jinwen walked to the bedside and looked at Gou Li, who was covered in sweat.

What injury did you sustain?

Gou Li gritted her teeth and did not answer.

Yang Jinwen continued, "You really don't know what Zhao Xiong and Kou Yong did?"

Gou Li shook her head.

What's your brother's relationship like with these two people?

"What exactly do you want to ask? What happened to my brother and the others?"

Do you know Du Licheng?

Upon hearing the name, Gou Li's eyes widened in shock. Then, as if she had just realized something, her expression became extremely flustered, and sweat poured down her forehead.

Yang Jinwen noticed that something seemed off about her.

He reached out and pulled back the blanket covering Gou Li. Her lower body was covered in blood, which had stained the sheets and duvet cover red.

The cat standing to the side was startled. When had he ever seen anything like this?
Yang Jinwen called out to the outside: "Send a few people here, get him to the emergency room, quick!"

Wang Daquan rushed in with several members of the joint defense team. Upon seeing the situation, they quickly lifted Gou Li into the car.

The clinic doctor and his wife were sitting on a bench outside.

Both of them trembled with fright when they saw Gou Li being carried away.

After Yang Jinwen came out, he stared at them and asked, "How did you get them like this?"

The doctor, mustering his courage, retorted, "He was perfectly fine before; you scared him into this state."

"Get out of here..." Jiang Jianbing roared, "You quack doctor, you dare to frame us!"

Wen Mo said, "In a moment, have the joint defense team take them back, seal off this clinic, and prohibit it from operating again. Fine them if necessary, and detain them if necessary."

The boss's knees buckled, and he knelt directly on the ground.

He cried out, "No, please don't! I beg you, my whole family depends on this clinic for a living. Aren't you going to kill my whole family? I said the wrong thing, I deserve to die, please don't cut off my way to survival."

After saying that, the boss slapped himself repeatedly across the face.

Wen Mo quickly pulled him up, her tone becoming more amiable: "Do you have a medical license?"

The doctor didn't speak, he just cried.

“You have to take the exam, otherwise, we’ll have to shut you down. You’re in a business where lives are at stake. If someone dies in your clinic, they won’t come after you.”

Let me be blunt with you: we arrived just in time. If that girl had died here, and her family had come looking for her, you wouldn't have been able to escape.

What we need to arrest is her brother. He's a desperate criminal. You killed his sister, and he'll never let you get away with it.

So you'd better think this through. I'm trying to help you. Your family needs to live, and the patient needs to live too. Do you understand?

The doctor thought of the young man whose left side of his face had been burned by the fire, and a chill ran down his spine. He quickly nodded.

“I know, I know…”

"Alright, that's settled then." Wen Mo released him.

At this moment, He Jinbo ran in from outside: "The Wuyang Town Police Station reported that there are indeed two people there, living in a village not far from Wuyang Town."

Wen Mo asked, "Do you want me to provide you with support?"

He Jinbo shook his head: "We have enough people. Besides, we have the Wuyang Police Station to help us. It's just two people to arrest, no big deal."

He Jinbo would accept other cases, but this one, no one except the Chengbei Brigade is allowed to get involved. This isn't about merit, it's about promotion!
If someone is promoted to the position of deputy branch chief in the city, how many positions in the Chengbei branch would need to be vacated? Everyone should be promoted!
Yang Jinwen was about to say something when He Jinbo waved his hand and said, "There's no time to lose. Get in the car quickly. Arrest the man before dawn, bring him back to the Municipal Bureau, and report to Captain Wen. Be quick!"

At his call, the old men drove three cars straight to Lingmeng County.

Wen Mo returned to his car, took out his mobile phone, thought for a moment, and then called Chai Tao of the Jiaxing branch.

"Hey, Lao Chai?"

"Huh? Captain Wen, is there something you need?"

"It's so late, aren't you asleep yet?"

"Captain Wen is joking. Director Yang has demanded that the case be solved within a week, otherwise the provincial department will send people down. No matter what, we have to stand up for the municipal bureau."

"Thanks for your hard work."

"By the way, Captain Wen, what's up?"

Where are you on the investigation so far?

Chai Tao replied, "We've investigated all the gas stations in Jiaxing District and caught a bunch of fuel thieves. There's one fuel thief surnamed Chen. This old guy has a gang who have been bribing drivers in state-owned enterprises and large factories for years to steal gasoline and sell it."

These people buried the oil tanks in their cellars; they have several cellars!
We questioned them one by one, and he said that some gasoline would be stolen every month. He suspected that his subordinates were stealing it from him. We are investigating this line of work.

I figured that if we followed this lead, we'd definitely be able to trace the source of the gasoline that caused the fire at the guesthouse!

Chai Tao was very excited on the phone. He held back from saying more. There was a very important clue that only the Jiaxing Criminal Police Brigade knew. Everyone was ordered that anyone who told anyone would have their clothes stripped off.

Every month, exactly fifteen liters of gasoline were stolen from Chen Haozi's cellar oil tank, which was exactly the amount used by the Huoshao Guesthouse.

After listening, Wen Mo smiled and said, "Your Jiaxing Criminal Investigation Brigade did a great job!"

Upon hearing this, Chai Tao almost burst out laughing: "This is all thanks to the excellent guidance of Captain Wen and Director Yang, and our brigade's strict adherence to the city bureau's case-handling guidelines..."

Wen Mo interrupted him: "Can your side send out a team?"

"Oh? That's certainly possible..."

Wen Mo interrupted him again: "Send out a team, all armed, to Lingmeng County to meet up with He Jinbo and the others."

Chai Tao was startled: "What are Lao He and the others doing in Lingmeng County? Another big case?"

Wen Mo replied, "He Jinbo and his team have found the arsonist in the guesthouse murder case. But he's not in the city, and I'm worried about something going wrong. You should hurry and bring more people and all the police equipment."

Immediately, there was silence on the other end of the phone.

Wen Mo couldn't hear anything; it felt like he was conversing with a voice from the depths of the universe, leaving only ethereal, muffled noises...
