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

Chapter 431 Life-Saving Talisman! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

The police officers in the conference room were shocked when they learned that Wu Mingyu actually dared to come.

In particular, Yao Weihua and Cai Ting exchanged glances, looking eager to try.

Isn't this just walking into a trap? It saves us the trouble of arresting them.

Wen Mo, Wen Hesong, Wu Kai, and others were not so optimistic; their eyes were full of doubt.

Those across the table seemed to take it all in stride, as if it were no big deal.

Neither the written statement nor the recorded statement mentioned Wu Mingyu's name.

Therefore, it's difficult to definitively prove that he committed a crime!
Unless the case is investigated further!

Yang Jinwen knew this, and Wu Mingyu probably knew this too. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come, nor would he have dared to come. He might as well have just bought a plane ticket and gone abroad, then no one could have done anything about it.

Wu Mingyu must be feeling confident and has something to rely on.

Yang Jinwen pondered for a moment, then shifted his body, wanting to leave the conference room. Wen Mo glared at him and gently pressed his hand down.

At this moment, a middle-aged man with a badge on his chest and a higher rank than Wen Mo spoke up: "Director Wen, I had already thoroughly investigated this case before coming to Annan."

This case involves multiple shootings, and we must give an explanation to our superiors and the general public. We will show absolutely no leniency towards the suspects! They must be severely punished!

The confessions we have obtained now can also prove the criminal facts of Zhu Gui, Cao Xuan, and others.

Now that we have arrested two criminals, the most urgent task is to verify and confirm their statements, and to conduct a joint investigation by prosecutors and the police.

The specific victims, their families, and the whereabouts of the bodies all need to be thoroughly investigated.

Also, we should apprehend the criminal who is still at large as soon as possible.

Finally, there's Old Wu's child, Wu Mingyu, who's involved in the case. He's now explaining the situation himself..."

Wen Mo interrupted him, "Secretary Du, whatever you arrange, we will do."

The other person adjusted his glasses and nodded, saying, "Okay, then the prosecutors and police will form an interrogation team to ask about the situation."

At this moment, Yang Jinwen stood up.

"Sit down!" Wen Mo shouted.

"Director Wen, I..."

"Yang Jinwen, it's not your place to ask. Just watch from the side."

The middle-aged man with glasses looked Yang Jinwen over carefully, smiled at him, and then put away the documents in his hand.

"The task force holds routine meetings every morning and evening to discuss the case and strive to close it as soon as possible. This is a case that the provincial department and the provincial government are paying attention to. We can't let it drag on for too long, or it will have a bad impact."

As soon as he finished speaking, the leaders of the public security department met to discuss the details of the investigation.

Zhou Changyuan and Fu Mingyuan immediately rushed back to the scene to investigate and arrest the escaped criminals.

The An'nan City Criminal Investigation Detachment investigated the identity of the criminals and compiled the names, home addresses, and other information of the victims. No matter what the suspects said, the victims' testimonies were the most important.

In addition, the bodies of the two girls in the sinkhole behind the villa also need to be retrieved.

With many tasks and heavy responsibilities, the police officers who received the assignments immediately sprang into action, not daring to delay.

Yang Jinwen's Third Brigade was left out in the cold. Yao Weihua and Cai Ting both knew that what they would face next was either writing self-criticisms or serious disciplinary action.

Sure enough, after everyone in the conference room left, Wen Mo beckoned Yang Jinwen over.

"You turned off your phone, conducted an investigation without authorization, and disobeyed orders. Do you think the police station is your private property?"

Yang Jinwen's gaze remained neither humble nor arrogant: "Director Wen, that's not what I meant, but human lives are at stake, and it involves a suspected armed criminal..."

"Who told you we're not going to investigate this case? Do you want to be a hero?"

Wen Mo rarely lost his temper. He pointed at Yao Weihua, Cai Ting, Maozi, and the others: "If you want to be a hero, don't drag them down with you!"

Who doesn't have a family and parents? Who wasn't born of parents?

Take Comrade Jiang Mao for example. He was a country boy who finally got into police academy and worked his way up from a trainee officer to the present day, changing his rural household registration to that of an urban resident.

He brings so much honor to his family! This kid has had such a hard life! Yang Jinwen, you're doing this to harm him!

"And Yao Weihua..."

Seeing this, Yao Weihua quickly tried to smooth things over for Yang Jinwen: "Director Wen, actually I'm over forty, and I don't care much about the future..."

"Ha!" Wen Mo sneered, "You think I'm protecting you? You and Cai Ting are both deputy team leaders, not greenhorns!"
You are just like Yang Jinwen, unaware of the seriousness and danger of things!
Old Yao, you've been a police officer longer than Yang Jinwen, you're the senior officer, a veteran detective! Don't you know you should try to persuade him?

"I..." Yao Weihua wanted to refute, but when he saw Wen Mo's eyes, the words stuck in his throat.

Wen Mo launched into another tirade. The men from the Third Brigade stood ramrod straight, but none of them bowed their heads, appearing quite stubborn.

Seeing these stubborn mules, Wen Mo sighed: "Yang Jinwen, you take them and go with Director Zhou to investigate the scene. Make sure to catch the escaped criminals."

"Don't concern yourself with or ask about anything else; leave it to the provincial department and the procuratorate to investigate."

Yang Jinwen nodded: "I understand. Ask Wu Mingyu if I can sit in on the proceedings?"

"You!" Wen Mo gritted his teeth: "What exactly do you want?"

Yang Jinwen lowered his voice: "It's the same as what I told you before, Wu Mingyu is definitely the mastermind behind Lu Yong's actions, and Lu Yong gave false testimony."

Besides, someone must have leaked information to Wu Mingyu...

"Zhu Gui, Cao Xuan, and Dou Junhao are all dead. With no way to corroborate their statements, Wu Mingyu had the audacity to come to the police station." Wen Mo pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright, you can go and listen in, but you can't interfere with the interrogation."

"I know."

Yang Jinwen nodded and instructed Yao Weihua, Cai Ting, and others to investigate the scene first. He then followed Wen Mo to the Criminal Investigation Brigade.

This was the first time Yang Jinwen had met Wu Mingyu. Wu Mingyu was in his thirties, younger than both Zhu Gui and Cao Xuan.

He sat in the chair in the interrogation room, his hands on the table, head down, picking at his nails, appearing nonchalant and not at all nervous.

Yang Jinwen saw several people in suits and carrying briefcases in the corridor. One of them, a woman in her forties, treated the police and prosecutors around her with cold indifference and no politeness whatsoever.

"Let me explain the situation to you now. My client, Wu Mingyu, has been taking psychiatric medication. He suffers from moderate depression, epilepsy, and bipolar disorder..."

Upon hearing what she said, the police and prosecutors who were preparing to interrogate her frowned.

Shen Wenzhu came to Yang Jinwen's side and whispered, "That's Wu Mingyu's cousin, Qin Min, a very famous lawyer in Qincheng."

"Did you hear that? They've piled up all these life-saving charms. Even if the truth comes out in this case, the other person can get away with it. You've wasted your time."

Seeing that Yang Jinwen was squinting and didn't say anything, Shen Wenzhu continued, "Let me tell you, these rich and powerful people have countless ways to evade legal punishment, so don't work so hard when investigating cases in the future, lest you get yourself into trouble."

At this moment, several prosecutors held the mental evaluation report handed over by Qin Min. It did indeed have the seal of a mental hospital, and it was from several large hospitals.

Qin Min said, "Therefore, when you are questioning my client, someone must be present to avoid any unexpected situations. Please understand."

“Okay, let’s do it that way.” Du Jianhong nodded.

He was the highest-ranking leader in the investigation team, and once he spoke, Wen Mo and Wen Song couldn't say anything, so the prosecutors and disciplinary officials had no choice but to agree.

On the police side, Wu Kai was in charge of the interrogation, and two people from the discipline inspection and procuratorial departments were also taken in.

In addition, Qin Min also called a psychiatrist to accompany her.

Yang Jinwen followed Wen Mo and the others to the observation room next door and watched the interrogation through the observation window.

"Wu Mingyu, we are a joint investigation team composed of the Qincheng Public Security Bureau, the Discipline Inspection Commission, and the Procuratorate. We are here to question you regarding two recent serious criminal cases. Do you understand?"

Wu Mingyu, who was behind the table, looked up and smiled with a very contemptuous look in his eyes: "Okay."

Do you know Zhu Gui and Cao Xuan?

"know."

What is your relationship with them?

"Cao Xuan is my childhood friend, we used to be classmates, as for Zhu Gui, I'm not very familiar with him."

"According to our investigation, you have business dealings with Zhu Gui, is that right?"

"That's not right, I don't admit it."

"Have you been to the villa behind the Panying Coal Mine?"

“I’ve been there a few times; Zhu Gui invited me to visit.”

"When?"

"I forgot."

"What are you going to do?"

"Escape the summer heat."

"Zhu Gui, along with others, forcibly took several girls to another residence to provide for you..."

"Ouch, my head hurts..." Wu Mingyu suddenly cried out. He frowned, looking like he was in a lot of pain, and replied, "...I don't know anything about what you're talking about. I have no idea."

“There are witness testimonies that on the evening of August 13, 1995, you forcibly…”

Wu Mingyu interrupted Wu Kai: "Who said that? Find the person and let's see who dares to slander me!"

"You don't admit it?"

"Why would I admit to something that didn't happen? How would I know what Zhu Gui and Cao Xuan did behind the scenes? I'm telling you, the fact that I'm even here to explain is already giving you a lot of face, so don't try to frame me."

After saying that, Wu Mingyu chuckled twice, appearing completely unconcerned.

Wu Kai gritted his teeth, unsure how to proceed with the question. The other party not only had a close relationship with him but also had a life-saving guarantee. Even if his crime was confirmed, he could not be convicted through normal procedures.

At this moment, Wu Mingyu looked up and smiled, "I heard that the police officer in charge of this case is named Yang Jinwen?"

Wu Kai squinted: "What? You want him to ask you?"

"No, I'm just curious." Wu Mingyu grinned. "If you see him, please pass on a message to him for me."

"What do you want to say?"

Wu Mingyu leaned forward, his eyes filled with malice: "You want me dead? Not so easy! Just you wait and see!"

Upon hearing this, the pupils of all the interrogators present, including Wen Mo and others in the observation room, contracted!
Wu Mingyu did not admit to any illegal acts, but this one sentence indirectly indicates that he is the culprit!

He dared to say that simply because he knew the judicial authorities couldn't do anything to him; moreover, his words carried a threatening undertone.

The accompanying psychiatrist immediately tried to smooth things over: "Excuse me, everyone, he's having an episode. Could we end the questioning for now?"

Wu Mingyu also joined in the performance: "My head hurts so much, I need to take my medicine... Where's my medicine? My medicine..."

Standing in the observation room, Yang Jinwen felt a tremendous sense of powerlessness for the first time!
