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

Chapter 301 Searching for 'Crimson' (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
June 18th.

After two days of investigation and interviews, all the witnesses and physical evidence of 'Yin Hong' murdering Tao Jianye have been obtained.

Late on January 22, she took a taxi from Tenom district to Century Garden in the city. The taxi driver has been found, and it has been confirmed that 'Yin Hong' did indeed take his car before the incident.

Taxi driver Gong Biao played a crucial role in finding the person so quickly.

After getting out of the car, 'Yin Hong' bought eighteen bags of table salt at a convenience store outside the residential area.

In the kitchen trash can of apartment 1202 in Building F, the scene of the murder, the same brand, packaging, and quantity of table salt were found. After identification by the shop owner, it was confirmed that it was indeed sold in his shop.

The shop owner also recognized 'Yin Hong' as her; it was indeed her.

With witness testimony, the physical evidence from the scene can also be linked.

After careful examination of the scene, the technical police were able to match the 'crimson' color to the fingerprints, footprints, and even the curly hair.

In this way, the evidence is complete, showing that "Yin Hong" instigated and participated in the murder of Yuan Dajun and directly murdered Tao Jianye.

The two serious criminal cases are no longer cases in Danan County; the municipal bureau has taken them over.

In the conference room.

Yang Jinwen asked, "Director Wen, Captain He, has there been any news from Deyang?"

Wen Mo shook his head: "I just called this morning, and they are still verifying it. It will probably take a few more days."

He Jinbo said, "I contacted the railway bureau, and after their assistance in the investigation, it was confirmed that the woman named 'Yin Hong' got off the train at Deyang Station, and the staff at the station saw her."

It happened on the evening of January 23rd. She was wearing a scarlet coat, had her hair styled in large, wavy curls, and wore a blue scarf.

"Where is that deaf-mute woman?"

“‘Yin Hong’ is very recognizable; anyone who has seen her face can remember her appearance. As for the deaf-mute woman, the railway staff along the line didn’t pay much attention to her, but she should also have come from Deyang.”

Yang Jinwen pondered for a moment and said, "This case can't wait. 'Yin Hong' took Tao Jianye's gun. She'll definitely go back to take revenge on someone."

If they can't find the gun, they can look for a series of criminal cases that occurred in DY City after January 23rd, especially the homicides. They should focus on those cases; perhaps they can find some connections.

Wen Mo sighed: "That's what I told them, but as you know, it's better to avoid trouble. Besides, we're not from the same province, so some things are a bit difficult to handle."

Yang Jinwen squinted: "How about we go to Deyang ourselves?"

“I knew you were going to say that.” Wen Mo tapped his fingers on the conference table and asked, “Captain He, what do you mean?”

He Jinbo was flattered; as the deputy branch captain, this was the first time Wen Mo had asked for his opinion.

Wen Mo clearly wanted to delegate authority, and after July, he was transferred to the provincial capital.

He Jinbo had never been so serious before. He coughed twice and said, "I think we need to go there. After all, it involves two murder cases. If Deyang doesn't investigate, we can't just ignore it."

Wen Mo nodded: "Then let's do it this way. Jinwen, you select three men, armed with guns, and ask the finance department to approve some funding for you."

Yang Jinwen nodded: "Let's not delay, let's leave tonight."

Wen Mo squinted at him: "Don't be in such a hurry. Pack up this afternoon, hand over the things you're still investigating to your colleagues, and it won't be too late to leave tomorrow morning."

Yang Jinwen understood what he meant and had no choice but to agree.

Back in the office, Yang Jinwen called out directly: "Old Yao, Cat Brother and Sister Cai, you're coming with me to Deyang. We'll leave first thing tomorrow morning."

Sister Cai, please buy the tickets. Brother Cat, please go to the finance office to collect the funds.

Old Yao, you and Old Song from the forensic department, check the physical evidence and then sort out 'Yin Hong's' life trajectory in Annam over the past few years.

"See if we can find any clues, especially from people close to her. Ask them again in detail. Deyang is so big, and it's next to Rongcheng. We should try to find out the exact address of 'Yin Hong's' hometown as soon as possible."

After Yang Jinwen finished giving his instructions, the three people nodded and left the office.

Only Qi Bin sat in the chair, arms crossed, looking sullen.

Yang Jinwen sighed, walked over and sat down next to him, took out a cigarette and offered it to him.

Qi Bin thought for a moment and then took the cigarette in his hand.

Yang Jinwen took out a lighter and lit it for him, saying, "Don't be so discouraged. I'll take you next time, okay?"

Qi Bin took a drag of his cigarette, choked a couple of times, and said, "Captain Yang, can I be transferred to another team?"

Yang Jinwen squinted: "Do you think I've mistreated you?"

Qi Bin quickly shook his head: "No, it's because I'm not capable enough and I haven't done my job well."

"Who said that?"

"..."

"We have only completed the preliminary investigation of the two murder cases. There are still many details that we have not yet figured out."

For example, during the two years that 'Yin Hong' worked in the coal mine, who did she have the closest contact with? Could we dig out some more clues from these people?

Aunt Wang, who was closest to 'Yin Hong', I think she probably didn't tell the truth. She most likely knew where 'Yin Hong' was from. Could she have lied or told us the truth?

Also, regarding the details of 'Yin Hong' and Yuan Lang's murder of Yuan Dajun, should we re-examine this Yuan Lang?
Shouldn't we thoroughly examine the circumstances surrounding Tao Jianye's murder, including the case of Ge Qi, that despicable person?
When the case is transferred to the procuratorate, are we likely to miss any important clues?
Qi Bin, your job must be tough.

Cat Bro is thin-skinned and elusive, suitable for investigation but not so good at dealing with people, you know that.

Old Yao is a tough nut to crack; he's always slacking off. Asking him to investigate the details of a case is worse than killing him.

Sister Cai is the only female police officer in our team. She has a fiery temper and will arrest someone at the slightest provocation. This business trip is to apprehend a female suspect, so we definitely have to take her with us, no doubt about it.

When it comes to meticulousness, only you are so attentive.

Solving criminal homicide cases is not something that one or two people can accomplish; it is the result of our joint efforts.

"Have you thought this through? Do you want a transfer, or do you want to stay with our team?" Qi Bin gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and bowed his head in apology: "I'm sorry, Captain Yang, I acted impulsively."

Yang Jinwen patted him on the shoulder: "Let's crack this case together and add another medal to your uniform."

"Thank you, Captain Yang." Qi Bin nodded. "After you leave on your business trip, I will carefully review 'Yin Hong's' crime process and her life experience in An'nan City to make sure nothing is missed."

"Thank you for your hard work." Yang Jinwen stood up, preparing to go downstairs to deal with the forensic doctor, Wen.

Outside the office door.

Three heads, resembling those of hamsters, simultaneously tucked their heads back, tried to keep their steps low, and quickly ran down the stairs.

Yao Weihua said in a low voice, "How am I like a tough nut to crack? Captain Yang is framing me!"

Cat frowned: "I'm thin-skinned? Do you think I'm thin-skinned?"

Cai Ting was even more furious: "Captain Yang is so unfair, saying I have a bad temper? Do I have a bad temper?"

Yao Weihua and Maozi looked at her and nodded in unison: "Overlord Flower".

"Get out of here, you lot!"

Yang Jinwen shrugged as he watched the three people's backs.

This at least proves that they were not indifferent to Qi Bin's emotions and cared about his feelings; otherwise, they wouldn't have stayed to eavesdrop.

When Yang Jinwen arrived at the forensic room, Wen Ling was sitting in her office chair, her head resting against the back of the chair, her eyes closed as if she were dozing.

Hearing footsteps, she opened her eyes, her eyelids drooping: "Oh, Captain Yang, what a pleasure to have you here."

"You've worked hard." Yang Jinwen knew that she and Zhang Lei had just returned from the funeral home.

“I haven’t done the autopsy report yet.” Wen Ling stretched out her hand.

Yang Jinwen held her warm, soft hand gently.

"I'm going on a business trip to Deyang tomorrow morning."

"Be careful and watch your safety. That woman has a gun."

"I know."

"Also, don't get too smitten with her. I've seen her photos; she's stunning."

"I was completely captivated by her, which is why I decided to go on this business trip," Yang Jinwen joked.

"You dare!" Wen Ling raised his hand, wanting to bite it.

Yang Jinwen didn't dodge, and Wen Ling didn't actually bite down.

She let go of her hand and sighed, "But speaking of which, that woman is really pitiful. I just took a stroll around the technical team's office, and everyone there was talking about it."

"What did they say?"

"She didn't say anything." Wen Ling seemed unwilling to discuss the matter further.

Yang Jinwen said, "How about we have dinner together after get off work tonight?"

"Where should we eat? Your place?" Wen Ling blinked, her eyes sparkling.

"Anywhere is fine."

"Then it's settled. I'll go to your place. I won't go back tonight. Come find me after get off work. I'll get the autopsy report out now, and you can take a look at it tonight, so you won't be caught off guard when you go on your business trip tomorrow."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Yang Jinwen nodded.

After leaving the forensic room and going up to the third floor, he saw a familiar figure at the door of the office.

Zhong Aihua, dressed in a casual suit, lingered in the corridor.

Upon seeing Yang Jinwen, he immediately strode over and said, "Captain Yang, I've been looking for you for several days."

"What's the matter?"

"I just want to ask, have you found my lover's whereabouts?" Zhong Aihua's face was full of worry, and the whites of her eyes were bloodshot, as if she hadn't slept well for a long time.

"To be honest, I can't eat or sleep well right now, and I think about my wife all day long. Where did she go? Why did she leave without saying goodbye? I really can't understand it."

No matter what, I hope to find her. Even if she wants a divorce and doesn't want to live with me anymore, that's fine! But at least give me an explanation.

Yang Jinwen pursed his lips and asked, "You love her very much?"

Zhong Aihua smiled and nodded, seemingly embarrassed that the word "love" was coming from someone he didn't know very well.

Yin Hong's crimes were crystal clear, but Zhong Aihua had been kept in the dark about her past.

If you take Zhong Aihua to Deyang, you can use him as bait to lure out the 'Crimson' hidden in the shadows.

But for Zhong Aihua, it was such a cruel thing.

Yang Jinwen dismissed the idea and patted his shoulder forcefully.

"Forget about her, live your life well, and stop thinking about her."

Zhong Aihua didn't understand. He stared blankly at Yang Jinwen and asked, "Why?"

"There's no why. Many things in this world can't be answered, especially what you call love."
