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

Chapter 379 Wen Ling's Transfer!

December 8, 1998, 10:00 AM.

Qincheng Detachment, fifth floor criminal investigation conference room.

This meeting room is shared; it's not the private property of any particular brigade.

The entire process of a case, from its occurrence and investigation to its final closure, is completed in this office.

Whether it's the First Brigade, the Second Brigade, or the Third Brigade currently in the conference room, everyone must report the case situation to their superiors here.

The top leader holds positions in the city and provincial departments, so he focuses on the overall direction, but doesn't pay much attention to the specific work of each detachment.

Those who usually receive case reports are Wen Mo and Wu Kai. Unless it is a particularly serious criminal case, the top leader generally will not come.

This was the first time the Third Brigade had come to the criminal investigation conference room on the fifth floor.

The reason is simple: the previous two cases were solved too quickly, with the murderer being caught in just five days.

What does five days mean?

The technical team's investigation results might not even be available yet, and they might be preparing to provide clues to the frontline criminal police when, aha, the case has already been solved.

When faced with difficult and complicated cases, and lacking the resources to investigate them, frontline criminal police officers often urge the forensic department and technical team to quickly investigate and obtain results, even if it's just a tiny clue, as it provides a direction for the investigation.

However, the Third Brigade was the opposite. The murderer had already been caught, and the suspect's confession had been obtained. They were just waiting for the forensic report and the investigation results from the technical team to corroborate the details of the crime.

In fact, these documents are given to the procuratorate and the court for prosecution and trial. Veteran criminal investigators can tell whether the other party committed the crime simply by combining the case details and reading the suspect's confession.

But this only applies to veteran detectives with extensive experience; they have a keen eye for people.

Like He Jinbo, Zheng Kang, Wu Kai, and Lu Ruixiang from the First Brigade, they are front-line criminal police officers at the T1 level.

Yao Weihua, Jiang Jianbing, Xu Guoliang, and Shen Wenzhu, although holding high positions, are only T2 level.

People like Maozi and Cai Ting wouldn't dare to make a hasty judgment on a case.

If they dare to rely solely on testimonies and the circumstances at the scene to conclude that the other party committed the crime, they will produce some truly classic, illogical, and unreasonable statements.

If you didn't kill the person, then why were you around the crime scene?

You were the only one who passed by on this road at the time, and there are traces of you at the scene. If you are not the murderer, then who is?

This is no joke. Rookies below T2 level, with little experience, under pressure, and eager to solve cases, often do this kind of thing.

For example, a cat?
As for what kind of person Wen Mo is, Yang Jinwen wasn't entirely sure, but it wasn't hard to guess.

I heard that Lao Wen used to work in the Criminal Investigation Detachment of An'nan City. Even though he didn't have access to new criminal cases, he made a lot of contributions by solving cold cases and unsolved cases, which led to his promotion to the position of detachment leader.

Therefore, his ability should be higher than that of T1 level.

Later, Lao Wen became the deputy director, which was due to his appearance and, most importantly, his ability to drink.

Yang Jinwen guessed that his father-in-law must have been drunk one time and had sex with his mother-in-law, which led to Wen Ling's pregnancy.

Otherwise, it's impossible to explain why Wen Ling can drink more than her father, Lao Deng.

Besides drinking at gatherings, Wen Ling also had another occasion where she would drink, drink to her heart's content, and make Yang Jinwen feel dizzy and disoriented.

That is, every time she had sex, Wenling found a little trick to make herself feel good.

Every time Yang Jinwen was about to exert himself, Wen Ling would shout: "Wait a minute, let me have a couple of sips first."

She pulled a bottle of Red Star Erguotou from under her pillow, twisted off the cap, took a swig, and then, with a flushed face and a sly smile, said, "Go on."

Any man knows that at a time like this, what interest would you possibly have?

Yang Jinwen didn't take the initiative or put in any effort, but Wen Ling got excited and drank more than half a bottle of Red Star Erguotou before she took over tilling the land herself.

------------

"So, Li Song had been drinking before he was murdered?" Wen Mo squinted at the forensic doctor, Li.

Li Yuanquan squinted as he replied, "That's true. Although he wasn't drunk, his blood alcohol content was very high."

Yao Weihua squinted and asked, "Then who was driving?"

Cai Ting blinked and replied, "The second victim, Fan Chuanping, was murdered in the back seat of the van, so Li Song was the driver at the time."

The conference room on the fifth floor is always filled with smoke, and the ceiling has been stained yellow by the smoke.

Apart from Maozi and Feng Xiaocai, everyone in the conference room had a cigarette in their hand, like they were cultivating immortality.

Yang Jinwen doesn't smoke often, but to avoid secondhand smoke, he also smoked two Hongtashan cigarettes from Wu Kai.

Cat knew that Wu Kai usually smoked Huazi cigarettes, but he took out a Hongtashan cigarette. Cat's impression of the branch captain dropped a little.

Bah! He's not even as good as my master, He Jinbo!

My master would give out good cigarettes to everyone he met, and before going home, he would deliberately hide the good cigarettes in his pocket and replace them with five-yuan packs of Huang Hongmei cigarettes to deal with his wife's search.

Returning to the case, after the incident, the injured Fan Chuanping was taken to the hospital by the police from the local police station for emergency treatment, but he died despite their efforts.

In other words, the nature of this case has become serious, involving a shooting and two victims who are government employees. So the top leader called to inquire and demanded that the case be solved within a limited time.

Wen Mo was under immense pressure. He patted his desk and said in a serious tone, "Old Li, you're a forensic doctor. Stop keeping me in suspense and tell me the autopsy results." Li Yuanquan wanted to finish his story in one breath, but he couldn't resist the jerks from the Third Brigade who would analyze every single sentence he uttered.

Besides, he still had a cold and was having some difficulty breathing.

He intended to write the autopsy report and then hand it over to the Third Brigade for them to review, but Wen Mo was in such a hurry that he was also summoned.

He paused for a moment before replying, "The first victim, Li Song, died from a gunshot wound to the left chest, which pierced his heart."

I believe the killer must have shot the victim at close range, at a very short distance.

The warhead has been removed from the body and taken to the provincial department's evidence center for ballistic testing.

The bullet is a common 7.62×25mm, either a Type 54 or a Type 54 imitation. We'll have to wait for the forensic center to issue a report.

In addition, Li Song had bruises on his forehead, blood coming from his nostrils, and a broken nail on his right index finger with clothing fibers embedded in it, indicating a struggle.

Wu Kai nodded: "Old Li, you've worked hard. What's the condition of Fan Chuanping's body?"

Li Yuanquan waved his hand: "Director Wen, Captain Wu, find someone else. I'm too old, and last night I spent several hours in the snow, and then I went to the funeral home for an autopsy, it's really..."

Wu Kai quickly interrupted him: "Old Li, you absolutely can't give up. The New Year is just around the corner, and the shooting case is a case that our bureau and the provincial department attach great importance to. If you fall, how will we handle this case?"

At this moment, Wen Mo squinted, stuck his cigarette butt into the ashtray, and asked, "Can another district bureau borrow a forensic doctor?"

Wu Kai shook his head: "They're all mediocre, they don't have much experience."

"Could someone be temporarily transferred from the local area?"

"This……"

Wu Kai glanced at Yang Jinwen, who was holding a fountain pen and frantically writing something in his notebook without stopping.

He glanced at Lao Wen and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, realizing the meaning behind Wen Mo's words.

Wu Kai hesitated for two seconds, wondering whether he should do Lao Wen a favor, but Li Yuanquan beat him to it.

"Director Wen, this is what I'm thinking. You see, I'm about to retire, and my body can't take it anymore. If I get a headache or fever, I'll definitely hold everyone back."

What Captain Wu just said is correct. The forensic doctors in the district bureau are either forcibly assigned to be forensic doctors from hospitals or are graduates of nursing schools, and their experience is too shallow.

I recommend someone; she has a proper academic background and, although young, she has profound expertise in forensic medicine…”

As Li Yuanquan spoke, he stole glances at Wen Mo's expression. Seeing that Wen Mo's face visibly darkened, Li Yuanquan regretted that he hadn't spoken clearly enough.

He quickly added, "Of course, although she is a female forensic doctor, she is meticulous and hardworking. She often helps the criminal investigation team solve many major cases when they are stuck in a dead end."

She is not only a top student at the Public Security University, but also highly accomplished in forensic pathology, clinical medicine, physical evidence, toxicology, and anthropology.

She is much more meticulous than male forensic doctors. I think that forensic work should be done by women!

In addition, she is also our team leader Yang's fiancée.

Here, I want to clarify that I have no other intentions. I absolutely did not recommend forensic doctor Wen Ling because of Captain Yang. I, Li Yuanquan, genuinely believe that forensic doctor Wen is very good and is fully qualified to work in our Qincheng Detachment.

Besides, I'm retiring in a little over a year, and I'm very happy and honored that forensic doctor Wen is working in our team before I retire!

Why don't you just mention Wen Ling directly? Wu Kai rolled his eyes.

Yao Weihua and Cai Ting's hands trembled as they smoked. If it weren't for Li Yuanquan's last sentence, "She is Captain Yang's fiancée," they wouldn't have recognized Wen Ling at all.

When did Wen Ling become so amazing? Old Li described her as a shining example of women and a model of excellence.

Wu Kai stared at Li Yuanquan, never expecting that someone so old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, would be so cunning!

Then I thought again, Li Yuanquan is about to retire. He has dedicated his life to the public security cause. According to the unit's custom, it is customary to be promoted one level after retirement, but it depends on the leader's attitude towards you.

There is no doubt that Li Yuanquan wants to advance further before retiring.

The only person who could help him was Wen Mo, and the top leader would also be able to, but Li Yuanquan couldn't reach him.

Wu Kai thought to himself with disdain, "Li Yuanquan is cunning. He doesn't mention a word about the relationship between Wen Ling and Wen Mo."

Fearing that Wen Mo might be favoring the wrong person by nepotism, Li Yuanquan carefully said, "Director Wen, could you please understand that I'm an old comrade? My health really isn't what it used to be..."

Wen Mo squinted. He hadn't expected Li Yuanquan to do him a favor without prior notice or private communication.

He wondered to himself if there might be a trap involved.

Is someone trying to harm me?

He was the deputy director, the captain of the brigade was his son-in-law, and his daughter worked in the forensic department. Would this endanger his future career?

He glanced at Yang Jinwen, who was still writing something in his notebook and hadn't noticed the conversation in the conference room at all.

After thinking it over, Wen Mo nodded: "Then let's explain the situation to the An'nan City Public Security Bureau. If they can release the person and forensic doctor Wen agrees, then we can temporarily transfer him over to learn from forensic doctor Li."

However, I want to clarify one point: Forensic pathologist Wen's job transfer was not due to her relationship with Captain Yang; arranging accommodations for our colleagues' families was also part of her job duties.

Look at what you're saying. Without your father, the factory director, there wouldn't be this broadcasting station in the factory at all.
