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

Chapter 349 The suspect has been caught! (Seeking monthly votes)
Xia Hai compromised under the pressure, giving up resistance, and the murder weapon was identified.

Gao Jie and Feng Xiaocai were still somewhat dazed. They found it hard to believe that the murder cases from 96 and 97 had been solved so easily.

The family-oriented, seemingly honest middle-aged man in front of you is the murderer in two cases?
Both cases have become unsolved mysteries. The Third Brigade failed to catch the murderer, and the First and Second Brigades were also at a loss.

Because of these two cases, the original Third Brigade also had two criminal police officers dismissed due to an investigative error that led to the suspect Kou Tao falling from a height, and the brigade captain Gao Jie was transferred to the traffic police team.

Having endured two years of torment and the changes that have occurred, the two now find it all unreal that the murderer is right in front of them.

Besides them, the guards in the gatehouse also stared wide-eyed, especially Wu Daqing and Li Yang, whose veins were practically throbbing with excitement.

They thought it would be a simple investigation, a tedious job, but they never expected that the murderer would be caught on the second day of the investigation.

They looked at Yang Jinwen with disbelief in their eyes.

Yao Weihua and Maozi, on the other hand, remained calm, considering it to be an perfectly normal thing.

At this moment, Yang Jinwen had already recorded Xia Hai's confession of the crime using a tape recorder.

He ordered, "Take it back first!"

Yao Weihua and Maozi pulled Xia Hai up.

The other person struggled and said, "My wife and children..."

"Don't worry, we won't implicate innocent people," Yang Jinwen reassured him.

Yao Weihua and Maozi dragged him out the door without saying a word and took him to the police car downstairs.

At that moment, the bedroom door opened, and Cai Ting came out.

Gao Jie and Feng Xiaocai rushed over to check the situation inside the room.

Xia Hai's partner was holding the child, and her emotions were very stable. She didn't look like she had just fainted at all, and the child didn't have any rashes on her body.

Cai Ting shrugged: "Stop looking. Without some tricks, would Xia Hai confess so easily?"

Feng Xiaocai raised an eyebrow: "This is too..."

Cai Ting squinted and said, "False confession? Little Sprout, you followed these two cases. The two victims hadn't offended anyone, and they were suddenly killed. These two cases have only been solved now."

Whose family do you think is more innocent? Don't sympathize with anyone.

Gao Jie asked, "No, you and Captain Yang had already planned this? I didn't see you two..."

Cai Ting replied, "Is there any need to discuss this? To be honest, any one of the murder cases we investigated in Annam was a major case. It's just that Captain Yang doesn't talk about these cases. It's just a little trick."

Gao Jie turned around and looked at Yang Jinwen, who was discussing something with a few people.

"Xiao Cai, have a few people stay here, call the technical team and ask them to come and examine the scene. The rest of you come back with me and intensify the interrogation of the suspect, Xia Hai."

Feng Xiaocai nodded quickly: "Okay, okay, Captain Yang."

As Yang Jinwen went downstairs, he took out his mobile phone to notify the brigade.

Wen Mo, who was in the office, suddenly stood up after receiving a call from Yang Jinwen.

"Hello? This is Wen Mo."

"Director Wen, the man has been arrested."

Wen Mo gripped the phone receiver tightly, his voice trembling slightly: "Where did they arrest him?"

"Hongye Residential Area, the suspect is an employee of the Petroleum Bureau, named Xia Hai."

"Did you confess?"

"He confessed. Take him back to the brigade now."

"Well done!" Wen Mo waved his hand. "After the case is closed, I'll recommend your Third Squad for commendation!"

After Yang Jinwen hung up the phone, Wen Mo walked around the desk with a beaming smile.

Just then, Secretary Bai Cong walked in: "Boss, what's making you so happy?"

"The suspects in the 711 and 609 cases have been apprehended!"

Bai Cong thought he had misheard and hurriedly asked, "Only a few days? So fast?"

Wen Mo stretched out his hand: "Five days! Three days and three nights to review the papers, two days to investigate, today is the fifth day."

Bai Cong pursed his lips, unable to utter a word.

This is incredibly fast! These are two-year-old cold cases, one from a year ago, and not even new murder cases. The fact that they were solved so quickly is terrifying!

Bai Cong had worked in the detachment for several years, and he knew all too well the capabilities of the First and Second Detachments. The case-solving rate of these two teams was over 90%. No matter what, Yang Jinwen's Third Detachment could not compare to them.

But the facts are already clear: Yang Jinwen's Third Brigade has slapped the faces of the other two brigades with these two cases.

Cases that the First and Second Detachments can't solve, the Third Detachment will handle!

Just then, Captain Wu Kai happened to pass by the door and saw Wen Mo pacing back and forth in the office, looking quite excited. He asked curiously, "Director Wen, has the case been solved?"

Wen Mo stopped and looked at him with a smile: "Yang Jinwen has already caught the suspect and is now bringing him back to the branch."

Wu Kai's smile froze on his face.

I was just asking casually; I just wanted to make fun of you!

Wu Kai's lips twitched, and he immediately asked, "Are you sure it's the killer of the 711 case and the 609 case? Not the one who forced..."

Wen Mo glared at him fiercely: "We should both go and watch the interrogation. We'll understand once the results are out. These two cases have been shelved for two years; they're a stain on our Qincheng branch."

He emphasized the word 'stain,' clearly a slap in the face to Wu Kai. There was no need for Wen Mo to get angry with the First and Second Battalions; it was Wu Kai's lack of cooperation that infuriated him the most.

Wu Kai swallowed hard and nodded: "Okay, okay."

Less than ten minutes after he left, everyone in the Qincheng Detachment, from the top five floors to the bottom, knew that Yang Jinwen's Third Brigade had caught someone.

Immediately afterwards, a chorus of voices arose.

Both the first and second brigades gathered in the corridor.

"No way? You're really that lucky?" Ma Hui felt a sting on his face.

Sun Yue expressed his doubts: "Damn it, they must have just arrested people randomly! I think there's something wrong here, don't you think, Captain Shen?"

Shen Wenzhu squinted: "What do you think, Captain Lu?"

Lu Ruixiang, holding a thermos, shook his head and said, "Don't ask me, how would I know how they arrested people!"

Ma Hui said, "There's definitely something wrong. They must have found a scapegoat to close the case quickly..."

Gu Jun hesitated, but since it was the captain and deputy captain talking, he didn't dare to interrupt.

A few minutes later, a commotion broke out in the hallway.

"They're back! The men from the Third Brigade are back!"

"Look, the person has indeed been arrested!"

Lu Ruixiang and Shen Wenzhu stood in front of the railing, looking down at the group from the Third Brigade escorting a suspect toward the interrogation room at the far end of the first floor.

Immediately afterwards, the detectives who were idle upstairs ran downstairs.

Ten minutes later, the corridor leading to the interrogation room was packed with people.

Besides Wen Mo and Wu Kai, even Lu Ruixiang and Shen Wenzhu came over.

This includes the deputy captains of the two brigades, Ma Hui, and Sun Yue.

They were together, more intimate than ever before, whispering and talking amongst themselves.

After taking the men to the interrogation room, Yao Weihua took a break to use the restroom. When he returned, he saw the two men with shifty eyes and laughed, "Oh my, isn't this Captain Ma and Captain Sun?"
I heard someone say that if the Third Brigade catches the suspects in the 711 and 609 cases, you'll clean our toilets for a year?

“No, where did you hear that from?” Ma Hui frowned. “I didn’t say that.”

"Dare to say it but not admit it?"

Ma Hui pointed to Sun Yue next to him: "It was Captain Sun who made that boast, I really didn't say it."

Yao Weihua stared at Sun Yue with great interest: "Captain Sun, are you willing to accept the consequences of your bet?"

Sun Yue glanced at Shen Wenzhu beside him, who glanced at him with a livid face.

He craned his neck and shouted, "Who knows where you arrested this person from? We haven't even gotten their statements yet. We'll talk about it after we get their statements."

“You said it!” Yao Weihua pointed at him: “A deputy captain shouldn’t go back on his word.”

Sun Yue shrank back, glanced at Ma Hui beside him, and even had the urge to stab him twice. Their relationship was broken once again.

The interrogation room door was closed. The suspect, Xia Hai, sat in a tiger chair with his hands cuffed, but a U-shaped metal bar across his chest held his body tightly in the chair, preventing him from moving.

Two police officers on duty stood against the wall, right behind Xia Hai, looking down at him.

Every passing detective would peer through the small transparent window above the door, curious about what the suspect, whom the entire Qincheng branch had failed to apprehend, actually looked like.

At this moment, Yang Jinwen stood at one end of the corridor, explaining the investigation and arrest process to Wen Mo and Wu Kai. He also handed over the tools used in the crime that had been seized from Xia Hai's home to the technical team.

Although Xia Hai has confessed to the murder, many details are still unclear.

Interrogating a suspect requires careful planning to catch them off guard. Aside from the initial interrogation to gauge the suspect's attitude, all subsequent interrogations require thorough preparation.

Of course, this excludes advanced memory techniques.

The more Wu Kai listened to Yang Jinwen's story, the more he felt that this man was extraordinary.

Lu Ruixiang and Shen Wenzhu were also listening nearby and asked many questions.

Yang Jinwen's investigative approach involved combining profiles of criminal suspects with, in particular, geographical information from crime scenes, filtering them out one by one.

Of course, luck also played a major role.

Yang Jinwen took out a tape recorder from his pocket and recorded Xia Hai's confession of murder.

He turned on the recorder, and everyone present knew immediately that the suspect had been apprehended.

Xia Hai is most likely the murderer!

The reason it's almost certain is because they are still waiting for the test results.

Half an hour later, Wei Ming from the technical team arrived and nodded to them, saying, "The screwdriver matches the murder weapon from the 711 case, and the fruit knife matches the forensic results from the 609 case!"

Wen Mo narrowed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and said, "Then Xia Hai is the murderer, no doubt about it. Jinwen, take him down!"

Yang Jinwen nodded and called out to Gao Jie.

"Captain Gao, come in with me to interrogate him."

Gao Jie swallowed hard, hesitating to speak: "I..."

Wen Mo patted him on the shoulder: "Go ahead, you're involved in this case too!"
