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

Chapter 211 All-Out Pursuit!

8:30 a.m.

The entire alley around the Yanzigou convenience store was cordoned off, forcing passersby to take a detour.

There are still people with nothing better to do, standing on the slope above the alley looking down.

After all, it's still the Spring Festival, and some people haven't gone back to work yet, so they just want to watch the excitement.

There was no shortage of sunflower seeds, so everyone held a handful, cracking them open and chatting.

"Have you heard? Zhou Qiuju's entire family is dead."

"Didn't we say we were going back to our hometown for the Chinese New Year?"

"Go back my ass, I was killed before the New Year."

"Are you talking nonsense? It's the Lunar New Year, it's creepy."

"Would I lie to you? Look at all these police officers standing outside. If no one died, why would so many people come? And over there, even the forensic doctor is here. How could it be fake?"

The man pointed to a Toyota Hiace parked diagonally below. A young female forensic doctor in a white coat, carrying a metal investigation kit, was walking towards the entrance of the convenience store.

A short man standing behind the man asked, "When did the police arrive?"

"I arrived very early this morning."

"So early in the morning? Who died?"

The man turned and glanced at the shorter man, asking, "You don't live here, do you?"

"Oh, my cousin's husband lives here. I came over for a visit."

After the short man finished speaking, he saw a tall man walking briskly down the slope.

Just as the other person was about to raise their head, he took a step back and covered his face.

At this moment, Yang Jinwen followed behind Wen Ling and looked at the people standing above. There were nearly a hundred people standing on the high ground, looking down at the small shop below.

The alley was blocked off at both ends, and people lived on the slope. The open space was very wide, so the locals who passed by all went around it from the top.

Seeing Yang Jinwen looking at these people, the two police officers from the police station shouted to their superiors, "Hey, stop looking, get out of here, there's nothing to see."

The timid ones left immediately, but some disobedient ones remained standing in place, not moving an inch.

The short man carried a plastic bag and left with the crowd, glancing down as he went.

As he walked up the slope to the edge of a bamboo grove, just as he was about to ride his motorcycle up the slope...

My shoulder was suddenly grabbed.

The short man quickly turned around and saw the tallest young man in the police force staring intently at him.

"What's your name?"

"you……"

Yang Jinwen snatched the key from his hand. He tried to take it back, but his hand was suddenly grabbed as well.

The cat asked, "I'm asking you, what's your name?"

"My name is Tian Hua."

"what is your job?"

"I was just passing by."

"Just passing by? What are you holding in your hand?"

"I got the rice cake from my cousin-in-law's house."

The cat asked, "Do you know the owner and his wife of the convenience store downstairs?"

"I……"

Yang Jinwen squinted and asked in a different phrasing: "What is your relationship with Zhou Qiuju?"

Tian Hua immediately replied, "What relationship do I have with her? I have no relationship with her!"

"Really? I think you're the one who killed him."

Tian Hua suddenly became anxious: "How could I have killed someone? You can't just arrest me and say I killed someone!"

To be honest with you, I often go to the convenience store to buy things, and I've only ever spoken to Liao Kai. I don't know Zhou Qiuju at all.

Yang Jinwen squinted: "When did you go?"

I went there once before the Lunar New Year and again on the second day of the Lunar New Year.

"What are you going to do?"

"What else can I do? Buy things."

"Wasn't Zhou Qiuju's convenience store open on New Year's Eve?"

Tian Hua shook his head: "Are you kidding me? The door was closed on the 26th of the twelfth lunar month. There was a note on the shutter saying that they went back to their hometown."

Yang Jinwen nodded and looked at Maozi: "Take him over first and have someone ask him in detail."

The cat nodded: "Okay, leave it to me."

Yang Jinwen called over several police officers, who took the man and the motorcycle into the alley. Then, he returned to the open field.

There were many onlookers, whispering and saying all sorts of things.

After listening for a while, Yang Jinwen called over several police officers from the local police station and took statements from some of the most boastful individuals on the spot.

When he arrived at the convenience store, Yang Guochang, Wen Mo, Lu Shaohua, and leaders from various branches of the bureau were all there.

No one was in the mood for pleasantries; they simply went inside, took a quick look, and then came out to form a circle.

Several leaders lit cigarettes for each other, their expressions grave.

Needless to say, this case was not a simple murder case, but a completely violent homicide case, and a series of murders at that. The negative impact of this case put everyone present under immense pressure!

After Yang Jinwen entered the room, He Jinbo, Zheng Kang, and others were standing at the door.

He Jinbo shook his head: "They're fucking inhuman! I'm going to have a smoke." Zheng Kang glanced at Yang Jinwen and said, "The man's name is Liao Kai, and the woman is Zhou Qiuju, who was assaulted by Jin Chao and caused his imprisonment."

Both of their heads were cut off.

Yang Jinwen stood at the door and saw the trace evidence team taking pictures.

After taking photos of the two bodies, Wen Ling took Zhang Lei to begin the autopsy.

Zhou Qiuju knelt on the cement floor beside the bed, with both her hands and upper body on the bed.

Her head was gone, and she was completely naked.

The sheets and blankets were covered in brown bloodstains, and blood was flowing onto the floor, where a large pool of blood had congealed beneath her.

Without a doubt, she was likely assaulted while her upper body was pinned to the bed, and after her death, she was hacked down by Jin Chao and his men...

The reason it happened after death is because there was very little splattered blood.

Distinguishing between splattered blood is easy: take a box of red dye and throw it forcefully at a wall or the ground; the resulting parabolic patterns of the blood droplets will be completely different.

Therefore, Zhou Qiuju's head was also cut off after her death.

In addition, her husband, Liao Kai, was lying on his side on the opposite side of the bed, his hands tied behind his back with hemp rope.

This method of binding is familiar not only to the forensic team but also to ordinary police officers at local police stations.

The rope was wrapped around the neck and tied behind the back along with the shoulders and forearms, which meant that the upper body was completely unable to move.

Anyone who has witnessed the execution of a death row inmate knows this method of binding.

Even if the identity of the murderer has not been found out yet, from this point of view alone, these people who committed the crimes all have prior convictions and have been punished.

There was a large pool of blood on Liao Kai's chest, indicating that he had been stabbed with a dagger.

The head was also missing!

At this moment, the room was filled with the smell of decay. Judging from the surface condition of Zhou Qiuju's body alone, she had been dead for at least a week.

After Yang Jinwen looked around for a while, Wen Mo walked to the door and called inside, "Wen Ling, Lao Song, further examination will follow later. Do you have the preliminary results?"

Wen Ling replied, "Although the methods of death are different, it can be confirmed that they were committed by the same group of people."

There is a body, and Wen Ling's statement is quite convincing. Judging from the severed neck of the deceased, it is at least 80-90% likely.

Song Jun is an expert in trace evidence analysis, and it's difficult for him to determine fingerprints and footprints in a short time.

However, he had also spent his entire life in criminal investigation and had seen countless crime scenes.

He was no stranger to such bloody scenes; he had a wealth of experience.

At the same time, he understood that the municipal bureau leaders needed results immediately and couldn't wait for them to conduct a slow investigation.

A moment later, leaders from various branches and frontline criminal police officers gathered at the entrance of the convenience store.

Yang Guochang asked, "Has the situation been clarified?"

Zheng Kang spoke first: "We just asked around, and the convenience store closes on the morning of the 27th of the twelfth lunar month..."

He took out a piece of paper that had already been put into the evidence bag: "There was a piece of paper stuck to the roller shutter door with tape. It was handwritten and said: Something came up in my hometown. I'm going back for a while."

The exact time of return wasn't written, and the handwriting was handwritten.

We found Liao Kai's ledger in the convenience store, but the handwriting didn't match.

Wen Mo asked, "So that means Zhou Qiuju and Liao Kai were murdered on the night of the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, or late at night?"

Yang Jinwen explained, "The 26th day of the twelfth lunar month is January 24th. Jin Chao was released from prison on January 20th."

He Jinbo said, "Chai Tao just called to say that Jin Chao will be released from prison on January 20th and go home for a visit. Then, on the afternoon of the next day, January 21st, Chen Zhen picked him up on his motorcycle."

In other words, three days later, Jin Chao sought revenge on Zhou Qiuju and Liao Kai by committing murder.

Wen Mo asked, "Have the motorcycle model and license plate been finalized?"

"A Qianjiang motorcycle, with a red cloth tied to the frame of the motorcycle mirror, no license plate? The Jiaxing Criminal Police Brigade, together with the patrol team, is searching Chen Zhen's residence."

Wen Mo then asked, "There were four perpetrators. Two main culprits have been identified. What about the other two? Have their identities been confirmed?"

He Jinbo shook his head: "I asked in prison. Jin Chao and Chen Zhen were the closest during his imprisonment. They were in the same cell."

The identities of the other two are currently unknown. However, Jin Chao told other prisoners in jail that once he was released, no other prisoner would have committed as many atrocities as him.

Yang Guochang silently uttered a curse, and everyone could guess what he was saying from the shape of his lips.

Yang Guochang waved his right hand and cursed out loud: "Fuck your mother! Treating human life like a game! I've never seen such arrogance!"

Wen Mo, you take the lead on this case, uniting all police units and brigades in the city. I've notified my superiors to have the Armed Police detachment cooperate with you!

From this moment on, we will make every effort to apprehend Jin Chao, Chen Zhen, and other perpetrators. Anyone who dares to resist arrest will be dealt with accordingly, dead or alive. Just leave one alive to confess the facts of the case!

Wen Mo nodded, his expression serious.

At this moment, he looked at Yang Jinwen, who immediately understood: "We need people to move the body. I'll go with forensic doctor Wen to investigate the scene."

Wenling understood that her father was worried about her safety.

She let out a soft breath and said, "Director Yang..."

Yang Guochang, his emotions running high, immediately said, "Go on."

"Team Leader Zheng and his team found the woman's head in the culvert. I just looked at it closely, and the cut doesn't match the cut on Zhou Qiuju's neck."

In other words, the female head was not Zhou Qiuju's.

In this way, the number of dead increased to five, all of whom had been beheaded...

"Fuck you!"

Yang Guochang cursed again and shouted to everyone, "Don't just stand there! Whether you're from the police station, the patrol team, or the criminal investigation team, give me a gun!"

I want to see just how much this guy is worth, daring to openly oppose us!
