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

Chapter 276 Execution!

June 8th.

8 p.m., Anan City Detention Center.

A group of people, including officials from the court, the procuratorate, and propaganda officers carrying video cameras, stood in the courtyard of the prison cell.

The scene was silent, solemn, and dignified.

The court clerk entered with the judgment.

Then, a resounding reading was heard: "According to the Supreme Court's judgment, the defendant Jin Chao committed intentional homicide by killing six victims in succession. His methods were heinous, his crimes were extremely heinous, and his crimes are too numerous to mention."

...The defendant Jin Chao was sentenced to death and deprived of his political rights for life...

The Supreme People's Court has decided that the execution will take place at 7:30 a.m. on June 9th!

Defendant Jin Chao, what do you have to say?

A faint, almost inaudible voice came from inside the cell: "No."

"Make him sign and put his fingerprint on it!"

Then, the person reading the message continued, "What are your requests? You can make them now, and we will do our best to help you with them."

"I want to drink."

"Baijiu (Chinese liquor) or beer?"

"Liquor."

"Okay, what else?"

“Tell my wife and son that I’m sorry.”

"That's no problem. I can let you write a will."

A few minutes later, armed police officers, bailiffs, and court personnel carrying Type 81 rifles walked out of the cell.

A short while later, they entered another cell and called out, "Are you Chen Zhen?"

“Reporting to the court, my name is Chen Zhen.”

Say the name three times.

"My name is Chen Zhen, my name is Chen Zhen, my name is Chen Zhen."

"Take a look, this is the court's death sentence for you."

Chen Zhen was being held by the arms by two bailiffs, with two armed police officers standing behind him.

After quickly flipping through a few pages, the person reading the verdict began to read it aloud.

When Chen Zhen heard the words 'execution of death penalty', his knees trembled.

When he signed, his thumb trembled uncontrollably, and he only managed to press his fingerprint down smoothly with the help of the bailiffs.

After the person reading the message finished, they immediately asked, "Chen Zhen, what is your wish, and do you need help with it?"

"I don't want to die, I don't want to die..."

“If you kill someone, you must be prepared to be executed. You don’t want to die, and the innocent people you killed don’t want to die either.”

"I was wrong, I was really wrong. I shouldn't have acted out of loyalty to the underworld. I was blinded by passion and shouldn't have helped Jin Chao kill someone..."

None of the bailiffs, armed police, or the person reading the statement expressed any sympathy.

They've seen this scenario far too many times. They think they're above everyone else, disregarding the law and human life. They commit capital crimes and, even after being arrested, still cling to a sliver of hope. But once the death sentence is handed down, they immediately begin to reflect, regret, and grieve.

The reporters outside with their cameras, however, started to get interested.

When Jin Chao was sentenced, the man had no expression, which was not in line with the propaganda requirements.

Chen Zhen was a great mouthpiece for propaganda. Several propaganda officers held microphones and kept asking Chen Zhen all sorts of questions.

The most frequent question was whether he regretted it, whether he had done right by the victims, and whether he had done right by his family.

The third death row inmate was Du Jiang. When it was his turn, he was even more frightened than Chen Zhen, and he could barely stand.

The two bailiffs who held him down had a tough job, practically dragging his entire body down with them.

The two victims at the Yanzigou convenience store were killed because Jin Chaoqiang insisted on killing Zhou Qiuju, leading to his seven-year imprisonment. After his release, he conspired with Chen Zhen and others to murder Zhou Qiuju and her lover, cutting off their heads and throwing them into the Yanzi River.

Then, two more victims in the sports park were also murdered by them. The male victim was beheaded, and the female victim was assaulted in a public restroom. The two teenagers witnessed the murders!
Subsequently, Jin Chao and Chen Zhen followed a salesperson at the department store, assaulted and murdered her, cut off her head, and threw it into a culvert.

When Jin Chao fled, he killed Wan Dehai, who was going to the market, on the highway in Banchang Town, Sichuan Province. He then stole Wan Dehai's identity and fled to Suixian County, Hanzhong.

Six victims, resulting in tragedy for five families!
Of the five suspects, Du Yang was shot and killed on the spot by Yang Jinwen after he seized a police officer's pistol during the arrest.

Jin Chao, Chen Zhen, and Du Jiang were sentenced to death, while Bai Yu, Chen Zhen's brother-in-law, was sentenced to life imprisonment and was the only one who survived.

As dawn broke, an enforcement team composed of armed police and bailiffs arrived, and three prison vans also arrived one after another and parked in the yard.

The moon in the west had not yet set, but the dawn was already breaking in the east.

Because someone was being escorted to the execution ground today, the prisoners in the surrounding cells hadn't slept all night, and their feelings were a mix of emotions.

Murderers, in particular, are often unable to sleep, staring at the ceiling until dawn.

They knew that this day would come for them too.

Jin Chao was being held by bailiffs and armed police, wearing movable handcuffs and holding a bowl of noodles.

A tall figure walked into the cell.

He ignored it. Since the court verdict and the decision to enforce it last night, many people have come to see him.

Reporters and legal professionals all wanted to ask him some questions.

Some people even came up to him and asked if he would be willing to donate...

If he wants, his family can receive a sum of money.

"The treatment is quite good; they even serve oil-splashed noodles."

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Jin Chao's hand trembled.

He looked up at the tall, young man.

After glancing at it briefly, Jin Chao continued eating his noodles with large mouthfuls of his chopsticks.

After waiting for him to finish his noodles, Yang Jinwen asked, "I heard from the people at the detention center that you want to see me?" Jin Chao's bowl and chopsticks were taken away. He wiped his mouth with the back of his hand and laughed, "Didn't you say you wanted to watch me die? To see if I regretted it? To see if I would be scared to death? I just want you to know that I don't regret it at all."

Yang Jinwen squinted and laughed, "That's not important anymore, just go die."

Jin Chao stared into his eyes: "Even if I die, even in the underworld, I will continue to kill. Let's see what you can do to me!"

"The underworld has eighteen levels. Which level do you think you can go to?"

Seeing Jin Chao gritting his teeth, Yang Jinwen nodded: "Alright, there's nothing more to talk about between us. You've already been judged in the human world, and you'll suffer even more in the underworld."

Shortly after, the court officials shouted, "Bring the person out and let's move out."

Under the watchful eyes of the armed police, four bailiffs began to change Jin Chao's clothes, tied his arms behind his back, took him out of the cell, and put him in a car.

Subsequently, Chen Zhen and Du Jiang were also taken to two other prison vans.

These two people weren't as calm as Jin Chao; they refused to get into the car and had to be dragged in by the bailiffs.

Three prison vans, escorted by police cars, drove out of the detention center gates.

The three prisoners, sitting by the car window, looked outside. A cordon was set up on one side of the detention center gate, and their family members stood outside the cordon, watching helplessly as the prison van drove away.

Jin Chao saw his wife and his son who had never been to school.

Chen Zhen also saw his family members, who were almost crying and trying to rush over, but were stopped by the police.

As the sun rose, the three prisoners were led to the execution ground, kneeling side by side with black hoods over their heads.

When the time came, the court officials shouted, "Execute!"

Immediately afterwards, three enforcers, holding pistols, walked up behind them.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Three piercing gunshots rang out from the hilltop.

The rising sun shines warmly on the earth, heralding the arrival of a new day.

Yang Jinwen stood by the car on the highway, glanced at the execution ground, then took out his mobile phone, looked for a signal, and dialed a number.

The other person's voice was somewhat lazy, speaking with a thick Sichuan accent: "Hello? Who is this?"

"Team Leader Sun, this is Yang Jinwen."

"Oh, Captain Yang, what good news do you have to share with me?"

"Just letting you know that Jin Chao has been executed."

Sun Peng on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment before speaking: "It is indeed a happy occasion, Captain Yang. When are you free? Come over here, I'll treat you to drinks and hot pot."

"Forget it, neither of us has time."

"Aren't you afraid I'll embezzle the money you sent to Gouwa's family last time? It was several thousand yuan, more than a year's salary for me."

"If you've already embezzled, then so be it."

"Gouwa said thank you, and he wants to write you a letter. Also, Wan Dehai's wife has been sent to a mental hospital, and the doctor said there is hope for her recovery."

“That would be best, then there’s no need to write letters,” Yang Jinwen replied. He knew that mental patients couldn’t be cured so quickly, and that fighting mental illness was a very long process. Sun Peng said this simply to get Yang Jinwen to stop thinking about it.

Sun Peng said, "Gouwa has no idea who is helping him."

"Just say you're a police officer."

"Okay, I will definitely pass on those words to him."

"Okay, that's settled then. I'm hanging up."

"Good luck."

Wishing you peace.

After hanging up the phone, Yang Jinwen looked up at the hillside and saw two court forensic doctors rushing down the mountain, carrying metal boxes, and getting into an ambulance.

Yang Jinwen squinted slightly, turned his head, got into the police car, and drove back to the city bureau.

But he couldn't calm down. After thinking for a moment, he stepped on the gas and followed the ambulance at a distance.

Half an hour later, the ambulance drove to the courthouse.

Yang Jinwen finally breathed a sigh of relief, turned the car around, and headed towards the Municipal Bureau.

After he went into the office, Maozi was bragging to He Jinbo.

“Master, this time when I went out to handle a case, it was really dangerous. If I hadn’t been alert, the head of the security department would have shot me.”

Yao Weihua laughed and said, "Come on, let me tell you, when that bastard Ji Yuan drew his gun, Captain Yang, me, and Sister Cai all raised our guns. If he dared to shoot at you and Lü Weiwei, he would be riddled with bullets."

He Jinbo rolled his eyes at Yao Weihua: "That cat is pretty clever too, at least it managed to fool that Section Chief Ji."

Cat nodded: "That's right, I'm a very good actor."

Upon seeing Yang Jinwen enter, He Jinbo stood up and joked, "Oh dear, our Captain Yang has a fierce aura about him. Where did he go so early in the morning?"

"Let's see how it's implemented."

"Jin Chao?"

"Yes."

"I was wondering why I'd been in such a good mood lately; turns out this kid was carrying out his plan today."

After sighing, He Jinbo said excitedly, "This time you went to Dannan County to handle a case and successfully solved a serial murder case..."

Yao Weihua immediately interrupted him: "Captain He, there are two cases."

"That's right, there are two cases. I almost forgot. When you guys were telling me about this case, I found it very difficult to solve. It really took our Captain Yang to solve it. Anyone else would definitely not have been able to solve this case."

After this series of cases, our city's criminal investigation team has finally earned its pride! Let's see which of those local guys dares to look down on us now!

As He Jinbo spoke, he took out Zhonghua cigarettes and handed them out one by one, smiling broadly like a victorious general.

Yang Jinwen noticed that his expression was different from usual, so he asked, "Captain He, is there some good news?"

"Hey, I can't hide it from you, your father-in-law... no, Director Wen is getting promoted!"
