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

Chapter 188 Chasing the Murderer in Yuncheng!

Two days later.

As soon as Yang Jinwen, Zhang Yong, Maozi, and Yao Weihua got off the train, they felt a surge of heat throughout their bodies.

When the train was in Sichuan Province, the weather was still very cold and snow could be seen. But as soon as we reached Yuncheng, everything outside the train window was lush and green, and the temperature suddenly rose to around 20 degrees Celsius.

Cat, who had never traveled far from home, exclaimed, "Our country is really big! The climate is completely different in the north and south."

Yao Weihua chimed in, "This is the Southwest, not the proper South."

Cat raised its head: "To me, everything except Qin Province is in the South."

"Ha." Yao Weihua chuckled, "You've never been to the north. The winters there can freeze your little Gigi solid."

The cat couldn't help but tremble: "I need to go to the toilet, where is the toilet?"

Zhang Yong frowned and said, "Didn't you know you needed to use the restroom on the train?"

"The train toilets are always packed with people, how am I supposed to use them?"

Yao Weihua sighed, "That's all alright. When we went back, it happened to be during the Spring Festival, and it was so crowded, sigh."

The cat handed the travel bag to Yao Weihua and hurriedly ran to find a toilet.

Yang Jinwen and the others went along too. The conditions on the train were indeed not good. It was crowded with people, and there were all sorts of smells, including foot odor, bad breath, and fart odor. It was quite uncomfortable.

Yang Jinwen seemed to remember that in his previous life there were high-speed trains, which were very fast. It would only take four or five hours to get to Yuncheng by high-speed train, let alone two days.

But the memory flashed by, and when he tried to recall it, he couldn't remember the specific details.

Cat headed straight for the toilet, but was stopped at the door by an old man wearing an armband. He held a wad of loose change in his hand and pointed at Cat, saying, "Young comrade, it's one mao for peeing and three mao for pooping."

Upon hearing this, the cat immediately became furious: "I already bought a ticket!"

"Buying a ticket is one thing, but charging for using the toilet is another. Hurry up and stop arguing, there are other people waiting in line behind you."

"No, who made that rule?"

"The rules are: don't bother me, take it or leave it!"

The cat gritted its teeth and pulled out five cents: "Give me four cents back."

"Small or big?"

"Pee!"

"You'll have to pay extra if you need to poop."

The cat glared at him angrily: "Hurry up!"

The old man asked, "Would you like some tissues?"

"Free?"

"Of course it's free, there's no charge."

"Give me a few."

The old man laughed and said, "It's just poop, right? Here, take your change. Someone will give you tissues when you go inside."

The cat had been tricked and gritted its teeth in anger, shouting, "I'm going to sue you! I'm going to make you pay me back those three cents!"

The old man sneered, "Public toilets everywhere charge money. Go ahead and sue. If you win, you'll be doing a national service, and I'll idolize you. Bah! You want to fire me, kid!"

At this moment, Yao Weihua stepped forward and asked, "Excuse me, where is a trash can?"

"There's a big trash can right up against the wall, didn't you see it?"

"thank you."

Yao Weihua smiled and followed Zhang Yong to the trash can, where he casually pulled out several glass cans of food he had eaten on the train.

The bottle cap was twisted tight, not a drop leaked, but the inside was full of yellow liquid, orange-yellow in color.

The old man stared wide-eyed at Yao Weihua as he pulled out several bottles and threw them into the trash can.

He cursed, "What a disgrace! To avoid paying for toilet use, they'd do something like this. A tin can can be used as a thermos. What a spendthrift!"

After saying this, Hu Zhiyong and Chen Manqiu came out of the platform, met up, and left the station. The two of them sat in another carriage.

Two vehicles from the Yuncheng branch were already waiting outside the station.

The two sides did not exchange many pleasantries and went directly to the Yuncheng Criminal Police Detachment.

Cat was visiting Yuncheng for the first time and was filled with curiosity about this warm, spring-like city. Everything was new and exciting to her.

Yao Weihua is a veteran criminal police officer with extensive experience and knowledge. He shared his knowledge of the culture and customs of Yuncheng with the two of them.

"So the girls in Yuncheng are gentler than those in our area. They have fair skin, can sing, and can dance. If you marry a girl from Yuncheng, it's like joining a performing arts troupe. It's a good deal and very satisfying."

Maozi pouted: "Old Yao, don't embarrass our An'nan Criminal Police Detachment. If others hear this, it will have a bad influence."

Old Yao rolled his eyes: "You, at such a young age, are already acting all serious. How will you get along with people in the future?"

Between men, sincerity boils down to two topics: women and offering cigarettes. Once you start talking, you'll instantly become familiar. Understand?

The head of the Yuncheng Criminal Police Detachment is Zeng Weiqiang. He is tall, with a full head of white hair, and rarely smiles.

He had just met Yang Jinwen in the reception room when he immediately asked, "Did you bring Gao Mingliang's pager?" Yang Jinwen was carrying a heavy responsibility, representing the An'nan Municipal Bureau. From the first sentence, he could tell that the branch captain in front of him, who had retired from the army, was trying to intimidate people with his imposing manner.

He replied neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Captain Zeng, the idea of ​​our municipal bureau leaders is that we will not take the initiative to contact Zhao Daqing."

In the first few days, we will still need to investigate Chen Li's hometown and use the vehicle as a clue to find her. If we still can't find her, we will contact Zhao Daqing by pager to see if there is an opportunity to arrest her.

Furthermore, if we proactively call Zhao Daqing, it would not only be easy to expose ourselves, but we also wouldn't be able to track his whereabouts.

Unless he actively paged Gao Mingliang, we cannot pinpoint the location of the phone number through the paging station's records.

If he had called a landline, it would have been even easier to find him.

At this moment, Hu Zhiyong, who was standing next to him, said, "Team leader, Captain Yang's suggestion is correct. We have analyzed it. If Zhao Daqing and Chen Li want to continue committing crimes in Yuncheng, they are a man and a woman and they don't have enough manpower. They will definitely page Gao Mingliang. We just need to wait."

Yang Jinwen said, "The clue we learned from Gao Mingliang is that the three of them did not steal much money in the case they committed in Lingmeng County."

The victim had only 1,300 yuan in cash at home. Gao Mingliang took 500 yuan, and Zhao Daqing and Chen Li each had 800 yuan.

Gao Mingliang confessed that Zhao Daqing wanted to first commit a crime in Yuncheng, and then use the money to buy guns on the black market.

He would then return to Yuquan County in the Northwest to seek revenge on the local gangsters, so we believe there's a high chance he'll contact Gao Mingliang.

Zeng Weiqiang narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "If he hadn't contacted Gao Mingliang and had instead partnered with someone else, and had committed another family annihilation case, what about the responsibility..."

Yang Jinwen squinted at him, then picked up his briefcase, pulled out a folder, and handed it to the other man.

"what is this?"

Yang Jinwen did not answer; his serious expression spoke volumes about his attitude.

Starting in 95, Zhao Daqing, Gao Mingliang, and Chen Li committed two crimes in Yuncheng, involving the deaths of four people. Although the Yuncheng branch of the criminal investigation team pursued the killers for several years, they made no progress.

Now that Gao Mingliang has finally been caught, the perpetrator has been identified, and the whereabouts of Zhao Daqing and Chen Li are known, they are now discussing the issue of responsibility for Zhao Daqing's latest murder.

Not only Yang Jinwen, but also Zhang Yong, Yao Weihua and Maozi looked very grim.

Zeng Weiqiang picked up the folder and flipped through it casually, and saw that there were sketches of Zhao Daqing and Chen Li inside.

The sketches were incredibly lifelike, completely unlike those half-baked experts from the Municipal Bureau. Whether it was Zhao Daqing or Chen Li, their facial features were remarkably clear.

Even Zhao Daqing's beard is depicted clearly, showing which side has more and which side has less.

Zeng Weiqiang felt that even the provincial department's specialists in sketching and portraiture might not be as skilled as the painters who created these two paintings.

With these two sketches, the investigation will be much easier.

As I said before, everyone needs to eat and shop. If we increase our efforts in screening, people will eventually be identified.

Furthermore, Yuncheng is the provincial capital, and its police resources are even better than those of An'nan City, which is why Zeng Weiqiang has such a tough stance.

He nodded and asked, "Your An'nan City does have some talented people. Who painted these two pictures?"

Yang Jinwen replied, "I drew it."

Zeng Weiqiang squinted: "You arrested Gao Mingliang too?"

"Yes," Yang Jinwen replied briefly, not wanting to say anything more.

As the captain of the criminal police brigade in Lingmeng County, Zhang Yong felt it necessary to say a few words.

He immediately said, "Gao Mingliang confessed that Zhao Daqing and Chen Li should be active near Bailiqiao. We have their portraits, and we also have people staking out Chen Li's house."

Thirdly, the Jetta they were driving had a broken piece of the left turn mirror, which was taped back together.

"If they're in Lingmeng County, we can find them in less than a day, no other matter what."

Zeng Weiqiang retorted directly: "Of course, Lingmeng County is such a small place. Alright, alright, Captain Yang, Captain Zhang, you've been on the train for two days, you must be tired."

Accommodation has been arranged for you. We can discuss it further after you've rested.

Yang Jinwen checked the time; it was only morning. They had slept for two days on the train, so what was there to rest for?

He said, "No need, we want to go see Baili Bridge."

"also."

Zeng Weiqiang pointed to his two subordinates: "Old Hu, take them to Bailiqiao for a stroll. Xiao Chen, come to my office in a little while."

The two of them responded in unison.

After leaving the reception room, Yao Weihua took out a cigarette and handed it to Hu Zhiyong.

Judging from Zeng Weiqiang's attitude just now, Hu Zhiyong is somewhat marginalized in the brigade. If he has a good relationship with the brigade leader, he will go to the office.

That's how it is when you're a leader. No matter how many years you've spent chasing a criminal, how hard you've worked, or even if your hair has turned white, so what? What the higher-ups want is results.

It would have been fine if the case hadn't been solved, but since another branch had solved it, the people above were even less friendly towards Hu Zhiyong.

Hu Zhiyong, on the other hand, did not have such psychological burden. He was a genuine veteran criminal police officer who did not care about gains or losses.

People like him exist in every criminal investigation team: stubborn, obstinate, and with an indomitable spirit. In addition to their duties as police officers, they have their own code of conduct.

Hu Zhiyong sighed and smiled bitterly: "Come on, I'll take you to Baili Bridge. I'll treat you to lunch and let you try some local dishes from Yuncheng."
