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

Chapter 187 The Father-in-Law's Raging Fury!

When Yang Jinwen and the others woke up, it was already evening. The snow was falling heavily outside, and a thick layer had covered the streets. Pedestrians hurried along, hunching their shoulders, heading home.

When Yang Jinwen and his group arrived at the county bureau across the street, Wen Ling was already waiting for them at the canteen entrance.

"The chicken soup has been simmering for several hours, and I saved the chicken leg for you."

The cat on the side asked, "Do I get a chicken leg?"

"Your master ate your portion, leaving you only the chicken wings."

"Chicken wings are fine too, since I had mutton soup for lunch anyway."

The other members of the Major Crimes Unit thanked her.

After waking up from a nap, Cai Ting was still very sleepy, but the cold temperature jolted her awake, and she started shivering from the cold.

Wen Ling pulled her along and said with a smile, "You have chicken legs too, eat well."

Cai Ting blinked, wondering why Director Wen's own daughter, the city bureau's chief forensic doctor, would treat her so well.
Wen Ling raised an eyebrow, her eyes seeming to say, "You know what I mean."

Cai Ting was a little confused; she didn't understand at all.

The chicken soup was indeed delicious; one sip warmed my whole body.

Wen Ling gently patted Yang Jinwen's arm: "I'll go to the conference room first."

"Okay." Yang Jinwen smiled and tore into the stewed, tender chicken thigh.

Cat, Yao Weihua, and Qi Bin watched with envy.

After dinner, the serious crime squad went to the conference room. Every old man there had a cigarette butt between his fingers, and wisps of smoke floated on the ceiling, making it look like they were cultivating immortality.

Wen Ling sat at the door, leaving it ajar, wearing a mask, as if she were looking at a group of mental patients.

When Yang Jinwen and his group went inside, they saw that there was only one seat left, as the other seats were already occupied.

Wen Mo pointed to the chair: "Captain Yang, you sit there."

"Okay." Yang Jinwen nodded.

At this moment, Wen Mo tapped on the table, signaling Wan Feng to start. The two exchanged some pleasantries, mainly about their determination to reopen the case and solve it.

Then, He Jinbo spoke up: "Since Captain Yang is here, I'll repeat myself. There are some things we didn't get out of Gao Mingliang when we were interrogating him before."

The most important points are as follows: Gao Mingliang said that when Zhao Daqing and Chen Li committed the crime and left, Gao Mingliang made an agreement with them that after his house was topped out, he would go to Yuncheng to meet up with the two of them. The specific time is the next day or the day after tomorrow.

Zhao Daqing and Chen Li usually frequented the area around Bailiqiao in Yuncheng, but Gao Mingliang didn't know exactly where they lived.

Zhao Daqing told him that once he arrived, he could call his pager, or Zhao Daqing himself would contact Gao Mingliang.

This clue is crucial; whether we can catch these two depends on it.

At this moment, Hu Zhiyong, a veteran criminal police officer from the Yuncheng Criminal Police Detachment, who was sitting next to Yang Jinwen, replied: "We are familiar with the Bailiqiao area of ​​Yuncheng. It is a place where many people from other places live. It belongs to the old city area and covers a large area."

Furthermore, I also called our branch team; they should already be conducting searches near Bailiqiao by now.

Yang Jinwen asked, "How was the investigation conducted?"

Hu Zhiyong had been there for a day and had already learned about the family annihilation case in Lingmeng County. He also knew that Yang Jinwen was the one who arrested the people, so he spoke very politely: "Based on this sketch of Chen Li."

Yang Jinwen nodded: "I can also draw Zhao Daqing's portrait. I'll go and draw it after the meeting."

Also, if we're still using the car to find the person, did Gao Mingliang mention the model and logo of Zhao Daqing's Jetta?

He Jinbo said, "Zhao Daqing is a very cunning person. He will most likely use a fake license plate. Gao Mingliang confessed that it was a Jetta CL, black, a very common model."

However, one important point is that a small piece of the left turn signal mirror was broken and taped back together.

Wen Mo asked, "Is this lead reliable?"

Zhang Yong gave him a look: "He wouldn't dare to lie."

Wen Mo nodded.

Hu Zhiyong chimed in: "I'm wondering if we could lure Zhao Daqing out by contacting his pager, and then have our detachment deploy officers to arrest them all at once?"

Upon hearing this, Wen Mo and Wan Feng exchanged a glance. Zhao Daqing was the mastermind behind the serial massacre of families. He was not only cunning but also possessed a certain degree of counter-surveillance ability.

If we contact him rashly and alert him, scaring him away, it will be a long time before we can catch him again.

Furthermore, the question of who the perpetrator belongs to is also worth discussing.

Therefore, when Wen Mo and Wan Feng contacted the Yuncheng branch to explain the situation, they never gave them Zhao Daqing's pager number, which caused some dissatisfaction on the other side.

Wen Mo said, "The city bureau leaders mean that to catch Zhao Daqing and Chen Li, we need to rely on the joint efforts of police forces from both places, and we can't fight alone."

Therefore, the Municipal Bureau has decided that we will send personnel to work with your Yuncheng branch to make the arrest.

Hu Zhiyong didn't have much time to think. He had been pursuing the murderer for two years, and he was willing to do anything as long as he caught the main culprit, Zhao Daqing.

He immediately nodded: "That would be best."

Wen Mo nodded and huddled with Wan Feng for a moment to discuss. He pointed at Yang Jinwen and said, "Captain Yang, you found the clues and you arrested Gao Mingliang. This time, you will lead the team to Yuncheng and you will select three people to go with us."

"Yes."

Yang Jinwen looked at the people in the conference room. Everyone was a little nervous, after all, capturing the person would be a great achievement.

However, Annam is more than a thousand kilometers away from Yuncheng, and it takes several days to get there by train.

Yang Jinwen, who was very tactful, said, "Captain Zhang, could you please come with me?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yong immediately beamed with joy: "No problem, it would be impolite to refuse."

Yang Jinwen pointed to Maozi and Yao Weihua: "If Maozi and Lao Yao don't have anything to do at home, come with me too."

Cat nodded hurriedly, but Old Yao was somewhat incredulous; he couldn't believe this task had fallen on his shoulders. He Jinbo also really wanted to go, but if he did, the Major Crimes Unit would be without a leader.

Seeing that the personnel had been arranged, Wen Mo said to He Jinbo, "Gao Mingliang still needs to be interrogated. We need to make sure that every word he says is true and valid!"
In particular, we cannot lie about the whereabouts of Zhao Daqing and Chen Li; this is crucial to ensuring that no mistakes occur during our arrest operation.

"Director Wen, don't worry, I'll outlive him even if it means it."

“Zhao Daqing is not a native of Yuncheng. Although he has lived in Yuncheng, I think there is another clue we can follow, and that is Chen Li.”

Chen Li's hometown is in Yuncheng. She has a family and a home. She hasn't been home for several years, so it's impossible that she hasn't gone back to see her children. Therefore, this clue is also very important.

The Yuncheng branch has already deployed personnel to stake out the area around Chen Li's house. This lead is effective long-term, but it's also the most prone to problems. Jinwen, once you get there, be sure to keep an eye on things.”

Wen Mo's way of addressing Yang Jinwen kept changing; sometimes she would use his title, and sometimes she would call him by his name.

Yang Jinwen naturally knew why he did this.

To put it bluntly, it's a bit like blurring the lines between public and private matters.

"I see."

"Alright, let's discuss the specific details further."

The meeting lasted until 10 p.m. Afterwards, everyone went to the cafeteria for a late-night snack.

Yang Jinwen and his three companions are leaving early tomorrow morning. Also, this is a welcome dinner for Hu Zhiyong and Chen Manqiu from Yuncheng.

Two people from the Yuncheng branch arrived, one of whom was Chen Manqiu. He wore glasses and looked more like a businessman than a criminal police officer.

After finishing their drinks, Wen Ling followed Yang Jinwen to the guesthouse and helped him pack his luggage.

Despite the claim of having luggage, Yang Jinwen actually had no luggage at all. He had come from An'nan City a few days ago without even bringing a change of clothes.

The same applies to Maozi and Yao Weihua. The county bureau does have standardized travel bags, but they can't accept them; it would be too conspicuous for the three of them to be carrying the same thing.

So Zhang Yong contacted a local clothing store and asked them not to close down. The group went there and each bought a travel bag.

Yao Weihua bought a brightly colored woven bag and deliberately rubbed it on the ground for a while, making it tattered. The clothes he chose were also very inconspicuous.

The climate in Yuncheng is not very cold, so they didn't bring many changes of clothes.

Yang Jinwen lived with Maozi and Qi Bin, but Maozi and Qi Bin tacitly wanted to go downstairs to see the snow.

It's so late at night, what kind of snow are you looking at?

Seeing their timid and withdrawn appearance, Wenling decided it wasn't wise to stay any longer, lest they catch a cold.

She patted Yang Jinwen's collar, looked up at him, her eyes sparkling: "I finally understand how my mother felt when Director Wen went on business trips before."

Yang Jinwen smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine."

Wen Ling nodded: "I'll stay in Lingmeng County for a few more days, finish writing the autopsy report, and then go back to An'nan City."

"Ah."

"Fool."

"Ah."

"All you do is 'hmm'? We've been dating for so long, and you've never even touched me."

Yang Jinwen held her hand and rubbed her palm.

Wen Ling's cheeks flushed crimson, even her ears turned red, and she asked in a low voice, "Are my hands warm?"

"warm."

"Then do you dare to kiss me?"

"What's wrong with that?"

"Then kiss me."

"So I really kissed him?"

"I'm not afraid of you. If you have the guts, give me a kiss."

"Then you're not allowed to shout?"

"Nonsense, my eyes are already closed."

Just then, a series of hurried footsteps echoed down the stairs of the guesthouse.

Wen Ling hurriedly opened her eyes, staring coldly at the direction of the stairs.

Maozi and Qibin had their hands in their pockets, with unmelted snowflakes still clinging to their hair and shoulders.

Cat lowered his head, walked to their side, and said, "We didn't mean to disturb you two. We just came up to let you know that Director Wen just arrived downstairs. I saw him carrying a briefcase, and there's definitely a gun in it. You can decide for yourselves."

Qi Bin also said, "Director Wen's face is terrifying, full of murderous intent, like he wants to devour people."

After saying that, the two of them went into the guesthouse room and slammed the door shut.

Wen Ling pouted and cursed, "You old geezer."

As she spoke, she patted Yang Jinwen's collar: "Remember to kiss me next time."

"it is good."

Yang Jinwen smiled and then, sure enough, heard hurried footsteps coming from the stairwell.

It seems that Maozi wasn't joking; Director Wen might really have him executed!
