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

Chapter 287 Unfailing Accuracy!

Railway station police station.

Yang Jinwen stared intently at the screen of the old-fashioned computer, while several police officers from the local police station stood around him, all bending over to watch the monitor.

The image quality was very blurry. January 22nd was during the Spring Festival travel rush, and the passenger flow was extremely large, making it difficult to find passengers who matched the target.

I watched for several hours straight, and the police officers on duty changed several times.

It wasn't until 10 p.m. that the deaf-mute woman was finally spotted on the platform.

The time was 5:10 PM on January 22nd.

The train from Chengdu, Sichuan Province to An'nan City made a brief 15-minute stop in Dan'nan County.

Passengers returning home disembarked one after another. In the second carriage, a woman wearing a floral shirt stepped off the train.

She carried no luggage, looked around anxiously, and seemed very flustered and reserved.

"Is it her?" the police officer watching the surveillance footage asked.

Yang Jinwen nodded: "That's right."

The police chiefs breathed a sigh of relief. They were supposed to be off work, but they were forced to work overtime. Luckily, they found the person; otherwise, they would have had to stay up until the wee hours of the morning.

Yang Jinwen asked, "Where did this train come from? Which stations does it pass through along the way?"

A train timetable was posted on the wall. A policeman glanced at it and replied, "K121 comes from Chengdu, passing through Deyang, Mianyang, Guangyuan in Sichuan Province, Hanzhong here, and then to Dannan. The next stop is Annan City."

"Can you confirm where this woman boarded the train?"

The police officer reviewing the surveillance footage shook his head: "It's not easy to investigate."

"why?"

“She boarded the train without a ticket. You can see from the station's surveillance footage that this woman avoided the ticket inspectors.”

Yang Jinwen leaned over and stared at the screen, but could only see her back. She was indeed hiding from the ticket inspector wearing an armband, and her movements appeared very flustered.

The deputy director of the train station police station said, "Comrade Yang, if you really want to investigate, you can ask the train attendants on this train; perhaps you can find out the results."

"Yes, could you please do me this favor?"

"No problem, I have the train conductor's phone number, and this train will also pass through here tomorrow afternoon."

"Okay, find out where this woman got on the bus. It's very important to us. Thank you."

"You're welcome."

After Yang Jinwen left, several police officers from the police station discussed among themselves, "Really, I haven't even had dinner yet."

"Exactly, there's no overtime pay for working overtime."

The deputy director snapped, "What's there to complain about? It's all for the job, just cooperate."

A short while later, just as they were about to leave work, Yang Jinwen suddenly turned back, placed a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes tucked under his arm on the table, and said with a smile, "I'm sorry to have kept you all from leaving get off work. This is just a small token of my appreciation."

The deputy director immediately refused: "Comrade Yang, this is not appropriate..."

Yang Jinwen turned to leave, laughing as he said, "There's nothing wrong with it. Everyone can share it, one box each. It won't break any rules."

When he returned to the Danan County Criminal Police Team, Yao Weihua and others had already returned.

The five people gathered in the office that Fu Mingyuan had arranged for them.

Yao Weihua spoke first: "Captain Yang, Xiao Qi and I have been investigating for a day and we can confirm that Zhong Aihua should not have known the deceased."

Zhong Aihua's social circle is simple; he usually interacts with his colleagues, and aside from that, his main social circle is in An'nan City.

Even without him saying it, Yang Jinwen knew that it was unlikely that the deaf-mute woman knew Zhong Aihua.

"Sister Cai, have you and Brother Cat found out anything?"

Cat sighed, "Yin Hong is a very complicated woman..."

He was about to continue when he noticed Cai Ting staring at him, so he quickly raised his hand and said, "Sister Cai, please continue."

Cai Ting cleared her throat, picked up her notebook, and said, "Captain Yang, Yin Hong started working at the cosmetics counter in the department store last June."

According to the manager, she didn't apply for the job on her own; she was introduced by a man named Yuan Dajun.

Yuan Dajun knew the manager, who said that Yuan Dajun was a small business owner in Danbei Coal Mine and was quite wealthy.

We wanted to follow Yuan Dajun to investigate Yin Hong's identity, but we found out that Yuan Dajun disappeared last July.

Then we went to the coal mine and asked, and guess what?

Yao Weihua scoffed and laughed, "Yin Hong and this Yuan Dajun are lovers?"

Cai Ting snapped her fingers: "Old Yao is the most experienced. It's definitely a relationship between lovers, but it's more than that..."

"What do you mean?"

“We heard from the coal miners that besides Yuan Dajun, there was also Yuan Lang, who was Yuan Dajun’s younger brother, and Yin Hong was his lover.”

"Holy crap, really? Two brothers doing this..." Yao Weihua was too embarrassed to say the rest of his sentence.

Cat sighed, "Zhong Aihua knows nothing and has been kept in the dark all along. Zhong Aihua's mother's reminder is very reasonable; he can't handle women who are too beautiful."

Yang Jinwen frowned: "And then?"

Cai Ting shook her head: "That's it."

"You didn't investigate further?"

Cat continued, "We only asked at the guardhouse of the coal mine. Just as we were about to go in, the people inside the mine stopped us and told us to get lost."

Yang Jinwen asked, "How did Yuan Dajun disappear? Have you investigated?"

Cai Ting replied, "We went to the local police station to ask, and the police said that Yuan Dajun's family did not file a report at all."

Yao Weihua rolled his eyes: "He's been missing since July of last year, almost a year now, and he's still the owner of the coal mine. Why haven't his family reported him missing? Who's managing the business at the mine?"

"Yuan Lang."

The moment the name was uttered, everyone sensed a conspiracy.

Yang Jinwen checked the time; it was already past 11 p.m. “It’s getting late, everyone go and rest. Sister Cai, go and ask Captain Fu and the others about Yuan Dajun and the coal mine. We’ll go there tomorrow morning.”

"Okay." Cai Ting packed up her notebook.

It was dawn the next day.

The two vehicles headed towards Yuanjia Coal Mine in Danbei.

Cai Ting learned that the Yuan brothers ran an open-pit coal mine with only about fifty workers.

Moreover, Yuan Lang was a notorious local thug in Dannan County, and he had gathered a group of idle people under his command.

Fu Mingyuan asked the local security brigade about how Yuan Dajun disappeared and where he went, but they knew nothing about the situation.

Another piece of news is that Yuan Dajun divorced his wife last May, gave her a sum of money, and she is now living in An'nan City with their child.

The reason for the divorce is still unclear.

But Yang Jinwen and others felt that this must be related to Yin Hong.

After more than a decade of excavation and mining, the mountains of Danan County have lost their original landscape, with hills and cliffs dug out everywhere.

Yuanjia Coal Mine is no exception; it's located on the northern hillside, and once you drive up, the road is still a muddy gravel path.

As they approached their destination, Yang Jinwen looked out the car window and saw three low-rise buildings standing side by side at the mine.

There was no wall, only barbed wire connected by wooden stakes to prevent outsiders from entering.

As the car pulled up to the gate, the barking of wolfhounds echoed from the yard.

"Woof woof, woof woof..."

"Be careful," Yao Weihua warned everyone, but Yang Jinwen had already gotten off the bus.

Cai Ting also got out of the car and said, "When we came here yesterday, we saw that the wolfhound was tied up inside, so don't worry."

Before anyone from the mine appeared, a black-backed wolfhound, like a porcupine, swooped down from the entrance.

"Wang, wang!"

Cai Ting was startled and shouted, "Captain Yang, be careful! Quickly, hide behind the car!"

Yang Jinwen squinted, quickly lifted his clothes, took out a Type 54 pistol from his back waist, snapped the hammer, and pulled the trigger at the wolfhound right in front of him.

"boom!"

The bullet struck the gravel ground, the black-backed wolfhound paused, took a few steps back, whimpered twice, and then charged forward again.

"Wang Wang..."

Yang Jinwen remained unfazed and fired another shot.

"boom!"

This time, the bullet struck the wolfhound directly in the head, and a trickle of crimson blood seeped from its head. The wolfhound fell to its side on the ground, its four legs kicking wildly.

Immediately afterwards, a man ran out of the guardhouse. Seeing the wolfhound lying on the ground, he shouted with red eyes toward the bungalow behind it, "Help! Help! Someone's here! Someone killed our Blackie!"

Even without his shout, five or six people had already gathered at the entrance of the bungalow. They had seen Yang Jinwen kill the wolfhound when he fired the first shot, and they had witnessed it with their own eyes.

"Damn it, who is this? So arrogant!"

"Who the hell is he? Kill that guy! We can't let him get away with this! Brothers, grab your weapons!"

"Fuck him!"

"We can't spoil them!"

These people went back into the house, grabbed their weapons, and, armed with rifles and cannons, were ready to fight each other.

But then, a deafening roar rang in their ears.

"Put the gun down!"

"Put everything down, cover your head with your hands, and squat in the corner."

The two men in the lead turned around and saw two more people standing in the doorway, two pistols pointed at their heads.

The burly man at the head of the group cursed, "Fight!"

"We're from the police station. Don't gamble with your life. Put your gun down!"

The sound came from the room's window, where Cai Ting and Qi Bin stood, two black gun barrels pointed directly at them.

These people moved too fast. Before we could even react, they had already rushed through the door, headed straight for the house, and quickly subdued us.

“Let’s review this again. We are criminal investigators from the Municipal Public Security Bureau, here to investigate a case. You have no reason to go against us.”

The muscular man saw the tall man who had just killed the dog holding a gun in one hand and pulling out his identification in the other, showing it to them.

The burly man exhaled and ordered the four men beside him, "Brothers, put the stuff down."

Yang Jinwen pointed the gun at the ground: "Throw it on the ground!"

"it is good."

The strong man threw his homemade gun on the ground and raised his hands, and the others followed suit.

Yang Jinwen took a step closer and asked, "What's your name?"

"Yuan Hong".

"What is your relationship with Yuan Dajun and Yuan Lang?"

"They...they are my cousins."

"Oh, so it's your cousin."

Hearing Yang Jinwen's indifferent tone, Yao Weihua knew that these people were about to suffer.

Sure enough, he and Maozi went into the house, picked up the three homemade guns on the ground, and just as they stepped back, Yang Jinwen took a few steps forward and kicked the strong man in the stomach.

"Do you own dogs without leashes?! And you even dare to resist with guns! Who gave you the guts?!"
