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

Chapter 22 Arrest!

"Behave yourself!"

"Twist the other hand over!" He Jinbo shouted as he took out handcuffs from his waist and personally handcuffed him.

Thanks to someone's help, Yang Jinwen breathed a sigh of relief and quickly stepped aside.

After handcuffing the suspect, two veteran members of the serious crimes team grabbed his shoulders and pulled him up forcefully.

"Crouch down and don't move!"

"Lift your face up!"

The suspect not only didn't look up, but also spat out a mouthful of bloody water onto the ground, along with a tooth.

It's easy to imagine how fierce Yang Jinwen's lunge was; it was clearly driven by emotion.

He Jinbo glanced at him, and instead of criticizing him, he gave him a thumbs up.

Immediately afterwards, He Jinbo stepped forward, squatted down, grabbed the suspect's hair, and lifted his head up.

The cat held a flashlight and shone it on the person's face.

He Jinbo demanded sharply, "What's your name?"

"Li Hongbing!"

"Do you know why I arrested you?"

Li Hongbing pursed his lips and replied, "Kill."

Hearing this, He Jinbo and the other old folks around him finally felt relieved.

It's good that he admitted it; it saves us from having to deal with him in the interrogation room.

He Jinbo continued, "Anything else?"

Li Hongbing said viciously, "Dismember the body."

"What was the date of the murder? Who was killed? Where was the body dismembered? Explain clearly!"

"On the night of May 30th, I don't know who I killed, but it was a woman. The body was dismembered in the rented room."

Where was it killed?

"Inside an abandoned ancestral hall in the old city."

"Where did you throw the body?"

"In the reed marshes beside the Yanzi River at the Anan Steel Plant."

Although He Jinbo appeared very serious, he was actually very relieved. The date matched, the location matched, and with the dismemberment scene and the murder weapon found, there was absolutely no problem.

"Take them away!" He Jinbo ordered his subordinates.

Just then, Zheng Kang ran down the steps, his foot limping, clearly twisted.

Zheng Kang glanced at Li Hongbing first, then quickly asked He Jinbo, "Did he confess?"

He Jinbo nodded with a smile: "The dismemberment took place at his home, and the time and place match up."

After saying that, he looked at Yang Jinwen: "It was your apprentice who arrested him, so you deserve a third-class merit!"

Before Zheng Kang could react, he saw Yang Jinwen take a few steps up the stairs, block Li Hongbing's way, and look him up and down.

Li Hongbing looked directly into his eyes without flinching.

Yang Jinwen asked, word by word, "Did you really kill him?"

"Stop talking nonsense!" Li Hongbing licked his lips and blinked several times.

He Jinbo stepped forward and instructed, "Don't ask any more questions, take him to the interrogation room and we'll talk about it there."

Yang Jinwen hesitated, but the criminal police from the Major Crimes Unit had already taken Li Hongbing away.

Needless to say, He Jinbo and Zheng Kang both knew what Yang Jinwen was thinking.

Judging by appearance, Li Hongbing is at most 160cm tall. Whether he suffers from mental illness is currently unclear. Only the motorcycle used to dispose of the body matches the characteristics identified during the investigation.

Zheng Kang turned to Yang Jinwen and comforted him, "Xiao Yang, don't be discouraged. You deserve a lot of credit for solving this case, and you even caught the murderer yourself. No one will blame you."

He Jinbo chimed in, "That's right, that's how we solve cases. If one path doesn't work, we take another. As long as the final result is correct, that's all that matters." Maozi, standing nearby, was speechless. "What else are you complaining about? You got a third-class merit on your second day on the job. So many people envy you, and you're still putting on that sour face for me?"

Yang Jinwen ignored him and turned to run up the steps.

Zheng Kang shouted, "Where are you going?"

"I'm going to the dismemberment scene!" Yang Jinwen said without turning his head.

He Jinbo smiled and said, "Old Zheng, this apprentice of yours is going to have a hard time in the future!"

The cat said with a fawning look, "Right? I think so too."

He Jinbo glared at him: "You good-for-nothing! If you were even half as quick-witted as Yang Jinwen, I'd be burning incense in gratitude!"

--------------

A large crowd had gathered in front of Li Hongbing's house.

Lu Shaohua, Zhang Bin, and forensic doctor Wen Ling and technicians who were preparing to enter the venue.

Lu Shaohua reminded him, "When Lao Zheng and his team made the arrest, they went into the scene. When you are investigating, make sure to exclude their footprints and fingerprints, so as not to mix them up."

Ma Boming nodded: "Don't worry, Director Lu."

Wen Ling put on disposable gloves and shoe covers, carried a metal box, and was the first to enter.

She first looked around the living room, leaving it to the people Ma Boming brought, and then went straight to the bathroom.

Compared to the dirty, messy, and smelly living room, the bathroom was spotless and even smelled of fresh laundry detergent.

If you were to dismember a body, which place in the house would be the best?
The answer is definitely the restroom, which is not only convenient for accessing water but also for rinsing.

Even chopped-up bone fragments and meat scraps can be dumped down the drain.

The body had already been dismembered and disposed of, and no new bodies were found at the dismemberment site. Wen Ling could have stayed away from the scene, but Lu Shaohua summoned her specifically to find a few things.

Those are the internal organs of the victim, Huang Cuicui!

They are the heart, stomach, liver, and lungs!

The room was small and filled with waste paper that Li Hongbing had collected, and empty Arctic Ocean brand soda bottles were piled up in the corner.

With five or six people inside, there's simply no room to turn around. Either one person's back is facing another person's head, or turning around means bumping into another person's survey brush.

There was no refrigerator in the house, so Wenling had to go to the kitchen to rummage through pots and pans to make room for them to inspect the place first.

In less than half an hour, Ma Boming's technical team found the physical evidence piece by piece.

"It's these Warrior sneakers, size 41. The pattern on the sole matches the shoe print found at the crime scene."

"I found something here!"

A policeman pulled a snakeskin bag from under the cabinet. When the bag was opened, a bloodstained axe was found inside, with brown bloodstains covering the axe head and wooden handle.

Immediately afterwards, the police officer squatted on the balcony and used a cotton swab to scrape the bloodstains off the transparent plastic film.

Lu Shaohua and Zhang Bin stood at the door, glanced at each other, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Once the victim's bloodstains are tested at the Municipal Public Security Bureau's Evidence Center and confirmed to be Huang Cuicui's DNA, the chain of evidence will be complete. Then, a confession from the suspect, Li Hongbing, can be obtained, and the case file will be prepared and transferred to the procuratorate.

Seeing that Lu Shaohua looked exhausted, Zhang Bin said with concern, "Director Lu, you've been busy all day too. It's getting late. Leave this to me and you can go back and rest."

Lu Shaohua nodded: "Alright, everyone's tired. Tomorrow, let Old Fan from the canteen give everyone a little extra food, at least two chicken legs per person, and a big pot of braised pork."

Zhang Bin laughed and said, "After having a good meal, Lao Fan will definitely have to implement 'streamlining administration and delegating power' again for the next week, and he won't even be able to eat meat once a day."

Lu Shaohua laughed along, "There's nothing we can do. The city allocates too little funding to us each year. This investigation we're conducting today has already used up all the funds from the first half of the year."

“That’s true.” Zhang Bin nodded. Conducting a thorough investigation sounds simple, but it burns through funds. That’s money. Even if only a few hundred people eat instant noodles, it still costs a lot of money.

If it weren't for the relatively small amount of funding allocated to homicide cases in the first half of the year, the leaders of the branch bureau wouldn't have agreed to today's investigation, and it would only be for one day!
Fortunately, the outcome was good; the suspect has been apprehended.

Just as Lu Shaohua was about to leave, he saw a figure flash past him, as fast as a gust of wind.

As soon as Yang Jinwen entered the room, he shouted at the top of his lungs, "What physical evidence have you found?"
