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

Chapter 380 The Temperamental Sister Cai!
The autopsy of the victim, Li Song, was only halfway complete, and the report was not yet available, but it has been confirmed that he was shot at close range, possibly with a standard or replica handgun.

The second victim, Fan Chuanping, died despite all efforts to save him and needs to be sent to the funeral home for an immediate autopsy.

Wei Ming from the technical team went to the crime scene as soon as it was light, but no investigation results were found.

The snow was too heavy last night, and it was nighttime, so the survey could not be carried out at all.

To analyze the case, we can only start by tracing the movements of the victims, Li Song and Fan Chuanping.

In order not to waste time, Wen Mo said a few polite words and then asked Yang Jinwen's Third Brigade to start the investigation.

If it weren't for the need for the top leader and the procedures for handling the case, he wouldn't have bothered to hold this investigation meeting.

After all, the Third Battalion is different from the First and Second Battalions.

The Third Brigade was his direct subordinate, so Wen Mo didn't need to use cases to enhance his authority.

Wu Kai wanted to enhance his prestige within the Third Brigade, so he said, "I'd like to say a few words..."

Wen Mo interrupted him directly: "Time is tight and the task is heavy. Everyone, get moving! Report on the progress of the case investigation at any time. We must catch the murderer!"

Wu Kai had no choice but to swallow his words. Before Yang Jinwen and his Third Brigade solved the first two cases, Wen Mo was not so autocratic.

Old Wen, you've changed!

Wu Kai sighed and watched Yang Jinwen leave with his men.

Wu Daqing and Li Yang were already waiting outside the conference room; their identities did not qualify them to attend.

Yang Jinwen nodded to them, and then everyone gathered around him.

"Old Yao and Xiao Cai went to investigate the source of the guns, especially those who were involved in the underworld. They were very sensitive to guns and might know where the guns came from."

Sister Cai and Li Yang went to investigate the area around the Weihe Bridge, especially the homeless people living under the bridge.

Du Nansong said that the two suspects kidnapped the homeless elderly woman and put her in a car. The car was a red Buick with a license plate from Qincheng. In addition, there was a 3 at the end of the license plate.

Director Wen has contacted the traffic police to find the vehicle owner's information.

Cat Bro, Daqing, come with me to the shelter in Wutong Lane.

"Okay!" everyone responded and then hurried downstairs.

…………

nine in the morning.

The shelter in Wutong Lane.

The snow has stopped, but the snow on the road has not yet melted. Sanitation workers shovel the snow into the roadside sewers, waiting for it to melt naturally and flow into the drainage ditch.

The deputy director of the shelter was murdered, and the shelter staff had been waiting for the criminal police to arrive.

After Yang Jinwen and his group arrived at the location, the female director said with a sorrowful expression, "Police officers, you must catch the murderers! You can't let these people go! You absolutely can't!"

Yang Jinwen looked at the other person's face; the expression was genuine, and they truly looked very sad.

In addition to these staff members, Du Nansong and her adoptive father Du Feng were also present.

Yang Jinwen said, "Let's find a place to talk."

"Should we question them individually or together?" The director was very familiar with the procedure.

"Together."

"Okay." The director nodded and led everyone to her office.

"What kind of tea would you like?"

"No need," Yang Jinwen waved his hand.

After the group was seated, he looked at Du Nansong, who was sitting in a chair. She was pale and her eyes were swollen from crying, clearly indicating that she hadn't slept all night.

After the cat took out the tape recorder and pressed the switch.

Yang Jinwen asked, "Has Li Song offended anyone in the past?"

The director pondered, clearly unaware of the situation.

Du Feng, presumably instructed by Yao Weihua, replied, "Li Song has a bad temper. Outside of work, the people he interacts with most are me and Ya Tou."

I also wondered if Li Song had offended anyone. I've reviewed his social relationships; outside of work, his circle is very small, so he probably hasn't offended anyone.

Seeing that the situation was heading towards the shelter, the director quickly chimed in, "As for work, Li Song doesn't deal with people above him. Apart from me, he has a good relationship with Fan Chuanping. The two of them often get together for drinks after get off work."

"What about the situation at the shelters?"

The director frowned: "We're a clean, low-level government office, who would want to mess with us?"

Yang Jinwen squinted: "I've checked, and the annual funding allocated to your shelter is very small. Li Song also often uses his own salary to subsidize sick homeless people. Is that true?"

Upon hearing this, the director frowned slightly.

She hesitated for a moment before replying, "We discussed this issue last night. The murders of Li Song and Fan Chuanping have been reported to the relevant leaders, who are also very worried and have immediately launched an investigation."

But if you're talking about killing someone for money, I don't think anyone would have the guts.

Furthermore, Li Song wasn't in charge of the funding, nor had he written any whistleblower letters or targeted anyone; it's impossible that anyone intentionally killed him.

How do you know he didn't write a complaint letter?

"Uh……"

The director was speechless; she genuinely didn't know whether Li Song had actually done it.

She said, "Okay, I'll go and find out what's going on. If there is anything, I definitely won't hide it."

Yang Jinwen waved his hand: "This is a criminal homicide case, and it should be investigated by us."

He raised this question to warn the other party, so that the shelter wouldn't be implicated later.

It's the dead of winter now. If work stops, what will happen to the homeless? Will they be able to survive?

"Tell me about the red car that Li Song was following. There were two suspects who kidnapped an old lady. Are you aware of this situation?"

Clearly, the director probably learned about this situation from Du Nansong.

She shook her head: "I really don't know. Li Song is in charge of the rescue work."

Yang Jinwen looked at the other staff members, but they all shook their heads.

"You really don't know why Li Song is investigating those two people?" The director thought for a moment and replied, "That's just how Li Song is. He has to figure things out when he encounters these kinds of things. I wonder if it's human trafficking?"

Cat frowned: "Have you ever seen anyone kidnapping old women?"

"No, that's not the case." The director thought about it and realized it was impossible.

At this moment, Wu Daqing said, "Could it be organ trafficking?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes widened. If that were true, then this case would be incredibly lucrative.

"No, no..." The director shook his head: "If that were the case, it would be impossible to just kidnap someone. Blood would need to be drawn beforehand, blood type would need to be matched, and doctors would need to cooperate. The whole process is very complicated."

Yang Jinwen asked, "Has this old lady been to a shelter before?"

The director couldn't answer this question, and it was quite pointed.

If you were rescued by a shelter, then you probably had your blood tested.

Du Nansong finally spoke up: "I've never seen her before."

The director immediately said, "Nan Song comes to see her second uncle every week, but she has never seen him, so that means there is no such thing."

Cat blinked: "What about the other shelters? Qincheng is just one of your facilities."

"This... I don't know."

Yang Jinwen instructed Maozi: "Write it down and ask at other shelters, and also call some blood donation centers in Qincheng."

There are indeed many illegal blood traffickers.

"Okay," the cat replied.

Yang Jinwen looked at Du Nansong: "Are you alright now?"

"Th-thank you, I'm fine."

"Can you recall what the old lady and the two suspects looked like?"

Du Nansong cleared his throat: "I remember what the old lady looks like. The two suspects had their backs to me. I only know what clothes they were wearing and their height. I didn't see their faces."

"Describe it for me."

Yang Jinwen took out sketching paper and a sharpened pencil from his briefcase...

the other side.

The archway of the Weihe Bridge.

Although it didn't snow, the water plants on both banks of the Wei River were frozen, and only the river water in the middle flowed slowly.

The homeless people gathered at the third and fourth archways. Both sides of the archways were covered with netting to block the wind and supported by wooden stakes to prevent them from being blown away by the wind.

A dozen or so homeless people, both men and women, lived under the two bridge arches.

There were no homeless people or children suffering from mental illness, because Li Song and Fan Chuanping had already taken them to a shelter for assistance yesterday.

The archway was cluttered with salvaged household items, and straw, mats, and yellowed quilts were laid out on both sides.

The most common items were buckets, made of plastic or aluminum. Personal belongings were either placed in the buckets or stuffed into red and blue woven bags.

Before coming, Cai Ting and Li Yang bought some things, mainly food and warm clothes. The clothes weren't new, of course; they just happened to pass by a secondhand stall, and Cai Ting got out of the car and bought them—two whole bags full.

The path under the bridge is dangerous; you need to climb over the first two bridges to reach the third and fourth.

Unless they go out to find food or start a fire to cook, these homeless people spend most of their time huddled in their blankets.

There was no other reason than that I was cold and hungry, and simply didn't have the energy to move around.

So, all of the dozen or so homeless people were lying down.

When they saw outsiders enter, the homeless men only glanced at them, but as soon as they saw what Cai Ting and Li Yang were carrying, they immediately crawled out from under the quilts.

Cai Ting said to Li Yang, "Send it to them."

“Okay, Sister Cai.” Li Yang behaved very politely in front of her.

Cai Ting saw two women lying under a quilt, with a man in the middle.

What the fuck!

The man had long hair and yellow teeth.

Cai Ting looked around and realized that he was the strongest person in the area, like a wolf among a pack of weaklings.

The man sat up, took the instant noodles Li Yang handed him, and said with a look of disdain, "Is this all? No meat? Did you bring any cigarettes? Give me a few packs."

Cai Ting nodded: "We are from the Municipal Public Security Bureau. We're here to ask you some questions."

"You said."

"Two staff members from the shelter came to your place yesterday. You should remember them. They're missing now. Do you know where they are? Or if they've offended anyone?"

Upon hearing this, the man spat into the cement debris beside him: "Serves them right, those two should have died a long time ago. Damn it, they only give us cheap stuff, and they won't even give us cigarettes. They only help women and children, and they don't help us poor people."

“Exactly,” a woman sleeping next to him echoed.

In the distance, a few old men sleeping under their quilts chimed in, "Brother Ma is right. Why only take in women and children? Aren't we qualified? They say we're perfectly capable and can support ourselves. Screw them, they deserve to disappear!"

A homeless man named "Brother Ma" tore open a package of instant noodles, crushed them, stuffed them into his mouth, and grinned, "It's that guy named Li Song, right? Give me a pack of cigarettes, and I'll tell you who he offended."

Upon hearing this, Cai Ting's gaze sharpened as she looked at Li Yang, who was distributing food.

"Li Yang."

"Sister Cai, what's the matter?"

Cai Ting said, "Don't give them the things! Throw them all away!"

"what?"

"Throw them all into the river!"

As Cai Ting spoke, she squatted down and suddenly pulled off the tattered quilt covering Ma Ge.

The two women screamed, grabbed someone's blanket, and crawled inside.

Cai Ting pointed at Ma Ge's nose, squinted, and said, "You son of a bitch, didn't you hear which unit I work for? What are you talking to me like that? Believe me or not, I'll throw you into the river and let your mother freeze to death!"
