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

Chapter 249 Case Closed! (Seeking monthly votes)
In the municipal bureau's conference room.

Wen Mo carefully examined Gong Zhen and Feng Yang's testimonies, sighed softly, and then glanced sideways at Wen Ling, who was sitting to the side.

"How did the forensic doctor assess Ding San's wounds?"

Wen Ling glanced at him and said, "The autopsy report is in your hands, and the findings are clearly written on it."

Wen Mo glared at her irritably. He picked up the forensic report and read softly, "The beating injuries on Lei Xiaokai and Xiao Xia were likely inflicted by Feng Yang, but the cause of their deaths was drowning."

According to Feng Yang's confession, he stuffed the two men and Ding San's body into the Audi and then pushed them into the river. At that time, Ding San was still alive and had a breath left.

In other words, the cause of death for all three people was asphyxiation, or drowning.

According to Gong Zhen's confession, she first killed Ding San with a wrench, then dragged Lei Xiaokai and Xiao Xia to the shore and drowned them in the water.

Their accounts differed, so there was no suspicion of collusion. Both confessed to killing the person themselves and were protecting the other.

The forensic report stated that Lei Xiaokai and Xiao Xia both had mortar under their fingernails, and the heels of their leather shoes were also covered with mortar and mud.

Therefore, by analyzing the details, we can determine who the main culprit is.

Hearing this, the old-timers in the conference room nodded silently. Normally, they would have showered Wen Mo with praise, but now no one spoke up, and no one wanted to show off.

Wen Mo said, "Deputy Captain He, aren't you going to share your thoughts?"

He Jinbo smiled slyly and said, "I will follow the instructions of the bureau."

Wen Mo turned his gaze to Yang Jinwen, who was sitting next to him: "Captain Yang, what do you think?"

"I will follow the instructions of the bureau."

Wen Mo squinted at Zheng Kang: "Old Zheng, what about you?"

Zheng Kang had no in-depth involvement in the case; he was only in charge of the arrest operation. Now that the suspect has been apprehended, neither he nor the Chengbei Criminal Police Brigade are responsible for the specific post-trial work, and he did not write the case file.

He replied, "Director Wen, I don't know much about this case. I just follow the instructions of the organization. Besides, isn't there a procuratorate? Since the two people's testimonies are inconsistent, we can let them conduct a trial. After all, it is their decision to prosecute and sentence that they make."

Wen Mo nodded: "Old Zheng is right. Alright, put this matter aside for now and write the case file. It's not too late to write it after the prosecutors have reviewed it."

This arrest operation shows that Annam is not peaceful. Many people are committing crimes. A happy couple was ruined by people like Ding San.

The Municipal Bureau has opened a complaint hotline and mailbox for the general public. We have received many complaints recently. We will investigate those that need to be investigated and arrest those that need to be arrested. As long as the evidence is verified, we will not tolerate any wrongdoing.

"Old Zheng, your North City Criminal Investigation Brigade, please cooperate with the Municipal Bureau to carry out this work effectively and eliminate these local thugs and hooligans who are harming the area."

Zheng Kang nodded: "I will follow the organization's arrangements."

"Alright, you guys go ahead with your work."

Wen Ling packed her things without saying a word, got up and left, glancing at Yang Jinwen before she left.

When Yang Jinwen looked up, Wen Mo was also staring at him.

After the meeting.

Wen Mo left satisfied, but Yang Jinwen did not leave. He Jinbo then chaired the next part of the meeting.

At this point, everyone was relatively more relaxed.

Jiang Jianbing, who hadn't spoken until now, asked, "Wait, what did Director Wen mean just now? Lao He, Lao Zheng, and Xiao Yang, what are you guys talking about?"

Director Wen said the main culprit was obvious, but I didn't see it at all.

While offering them cigarettes, He Jinbo said, "You only know how to arrest people. You should learn more about physical evidence and go to Ma Boming's forensic office more often. Don't just spend your days reading newspapers."

Jiang Jianbing shrugged: "I care about major news events, so what? Clinton's impeachment, the Asian financial crisis, and the return of Xiangshan'ao at the end of the year—aren't those things more exciting than what we're doing?"

Xu Guoliang nodded hurriedly: "That's right, that's right."

Jiang Jianbing stabbed him in the back: "That's bullshit! All you know is reading entertainment magazines. When have you ever read the news?"

Xu Guoliang glared at him: "What's wrong with entertainment magazines? My daughter likes to read them, so I'm just checking out her preferences. Is that bothering you? Besides, entertainment magazines have news too."

"That's right, there are bikini beauties too, it's all Hong Kong entertainment news, what's so informative about it?"

The two started arguing, and He Jinbo couldn't stand it anymore. He slammed his hand on the table and said, "Seriously, how did you two get to the vice-captain positions? Can't you stop arguing? Didn't you want to know who the main culprit is?"

"Come here, Yang Jinwen, you talk to them."

After stubbing out his cigarette in the ashtray, Yang Jinwen said, "Lei Xiaokai and Xiao Xia's shoes had thick layers of mud and gravel embedded in the soles, and their fingernails were also full of gravel. Based on this, we can tell that Feng Yang is lying, and it's highly likely that Gong Zhen killed them."

If, as Feng Yang confessed, he stuffed Lei Xiaokai and Xiao Xia into the car and then pushed the car into the river, then there wouldn't be any grit in the soles of their shoes, especially under their fingernails.

Moreover, people instinctively want to escape and will not willingly seek death. Even if their hands and feet are tied with ropes, they will try to break the window. However, after careful inspection of the Audi we salvaged, we found no such situation.

In other words, Lei Xiaokai and Xiao Xia were already dead when they were shoved into the car.

In addition, evidence can be found on their clothes to confirm this fact. Their clothes, especially the front of their clothes, were worn and covered with mud and sand.

Therefore, it was indeed Gong Zhen who killed them.

Yang Jinwen's judgment is reasonable and well-founded, based on physical evidence, and is very convincing.

Jiang Jianbing sighed, "So that's how it is. But it's a pity, Ding San really deserves to die."

He Jinbo took a drag of his cigarette, his mind filled with the scene of Feng Yang kneeling before his mother and the words, "The wheat is ripe, and I'll turn myself in to the police station after the harvest." He said, "Even so, Feng Yang is an accomplice. According to the usual court rulings, he will either face the death penalty or life imprisonment."

The meeting room fell silent; everyone felt uncomfortable.

Since they are all men, men tend to feel a sense of kinship and shared sorrow when dealing with men who have a spirit of dedication.

At this moment, Yang Jinwen tapped the table with his finger and said, "When Gong Zhen committed the murder, Feng Yang might not have been at the scene."

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes widened.

The cat's emotions were the most intense: "Captain Yang, what are you thinking about?"

He Jinbo warned, "Xiao Yang, don't talk nonsense. As a public official, don't try to exonerate people!"

Zheng Kang added, "That's it for this case. Old He is right, don't interfere."

Yang Jinwen shook his head: "Master, Captain He, I'm not making this up. Think about it, if Feng Yang was at the scene when Gong Zhen committed the murder, how could his testimony be so different from Gong Zhen's?"
Gong Zhen said he used a wrench to kill Ding San, and then dragged Lei Xiaokai and Xiao Xia to the shore to drown them.

But Feng Yang's version of events is completely different. He said he stuffed Lei Xiaokai and Xiao Xia into the car, pushed it into the river, and they drowned.

If he were at the scene, wouldn't he have known when Gong Zhen committed the murder?

When this question was raised, everyone was stunned.

Yang Jinwen continued, "When we interrogated Gong Zhen, she was too emotional. I felt that she still had something to say. If we interrogated her again, the truth might come out."

He Jinbo immediately made the decision, and the group rushed to the detention center.

When Gong Zhen was brought into the interrogation room, she was wearing a blue and white striped vest.

She looked pale and much more haggard.

Yang Jinwen didn't waste any words and said directly, "Feng Yang has been arrested."

Upon hearing this, Gong Zhen raised his face and replied, "I killed the man; it has nothing to do with him."

"I know, what I want to ask you is, where was Feng Yang when you killed Ding San?"

Gong Zhen rolled her eyes: "Where is he? He's... I remember, when I hit Ding San with the wrench, Feng Yang called out to me, he shouted, 'Don't kill him, hand Ding San over to the police...'"

At that time, I was out of my mind and couldn't hear anything. I only remember repeatedly swinging the wrench and hitting Ding San's head.

I was still not satisfied, so I staggered and dragged Lei Xiaokai and Xiao Xia to the shore, where they drowned one by one.

I was afraid someone would see them, so I moved their bodies into the car and locked the doors.

Then I saw Feng Yang standing next to me, panting, holding a bag of gauze in his hand.

He wasn't there when I killed him. He went to the pharmacy to buy gauze.

I thought he watched me kill, but he didn't, he wasn't an accomplice... he wasn't!

Yang Jinwen asked, "Does he know that Lei Xiaokai and Xiao Xia are dead?"

“He knew that my mind was completely blank at the time. I remember telling him with a smile that I killed them all, that I wanted them dead, and that I wanted to avenge Yan Jun.”

Feng Yang went to the car window and looked closely. He saw Ding San, who was already dead and covered in blood.

He only helped me push the car into the river; he didn't kill anyone, and he even tried to comfort me.

"Can you stand by what you say? Even if the prosecutors come and ask you, will you still say the same thing?"

"Yes, it's true, I killed him."

Yang Jinwen looked at He Jinbo, who exhaled and said, "Gong Zhen, do you know what the consequences of killing these three people will be?"

Gong Zhen raised her handcuffed hands, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and nodded, saying, "I know I will be sentenced to death. Will Feng Yang live?"
My wife, Yan Jun, loved his younger brother the most. He once told me that Feng Yang started working at a brick factory when he was sixteen to support his studies.

Feng Yang was not yet an adult at that time, and he helped his brother complete his studies. Yan Jun always said he was sorry to his younger brother.

"If Feng Yang can live, I don't care if I die, officer. I killed him; it has nothing to do with him."

Gong Zhen shook her head vigorously, tears streaming down her neck.

Yang Jinwen pursed his lips and replied, "No one can say for sure right now, but we will investigate the information you provided. We will inform you of the result after the court's verdict."

"Thank you, thank you." Gong Zhen nodded.

He Jinbo and Yang Jinwen got up and left, followed by Zheng Kang, Maozi and others.

As they walked out of the interrogation room and stepped onto the stairs, they heard a wild, animalistic wail coming from inside.

The old folks paused, looked up at the dazzling sunlight outside, the sun so bright it seemed to pierce their hearts!

　Due to censorship reasons, some parts of the first few chapters have been edited, but this does not affect the major plot. The main issue is that the phrase "handling and exploding" cannot be written, so corresponding edits have been made.

　　Now I have to correct my posture every day, and I have to wear a chaperone when I walk. I just went to see a traditional Chinese medicine doctor this afternoon, and they increased the intensity of the correction.

　　I'm currently ranked around 50th on the monthly ticket chart, all thanks to everyone's votes. I'm so grateful! Once I feel better, I'll definitely update more frequently.

　　I'm begging for your votes again, thank you so much!
