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

Chapter 72 The Passing of an Era!

Time flies, and half a month has passed in a flash.

The two major homicide cases solved in June had complete chains of evidence, and the perpetrators confessed and accepted punishment.

Of course, Li Chao, the perpetrator of the 5*30 case, has already pleaded guilty, although it was without his consent.

Furthermore, the Provincial Department's Evidence Center conducted a second DNA test on the 6*14 case, confirming that the body fluids of Yang Hong and Wu Dayong remained in the body of the victim, Zhang Xiaoying.

Finally, they were taken to the crime scene and asked to identify the details of the murder.

The evidence chain is complete, the case is airtight, and the case has been transferred to the procuratorate; it's just waiting to be prosecuted.

The two men will undoubtedly be sentenced to death. As for Wang Caixia, the prosecutor's office is still determining her sentence, but she will likely be prosecuted for life imprisonment.

At this critical juncture, the court's judgment should be swift and not delayed until the second half of the year.

In the past two weeks, besides helping to write case files, Yang Jinwen and Zheng Kang have been riding their sidecar tricycles to handle criminal cases, mostly related to the eight major categories of criminal cases.

The so-called eight categories of criminal cases are intentional homicide, intentional injury causing serious injury/death, robbery, rape, bombing, arson, and poisoning.

Other crimes that seriously endanger public safety, including vandalism of transportation/power equipment.

This document, issued on August 25, 1983, formally outlines eight categories of serious criminal offenses.

Zheng Kang and Yang Jinwen were not handling new cases, but rather supplementing evidence from previous cases.

For example, in a case of murdering a wife, if the suspect refuses to provide the tools used in the crime, then you have to find these things.

For example, in a robbery case, the pre-trial officers inadvertently learned of a murder case from the suspect. Whether this case was true or false also needed to be investigated.

Of course, not everyone in the criminal investigation team would participate. Zheng Kang and Yang Jinwen went to the local police station and asked the local police officers to conduct interviews and investigations together.

Yang Jinwen followed his master to all the street police stations in the Chengnan Branch, and got to know all the police station chiefs in each jurisdiction.

Memories of past lives are becoming increasingly blurred, sinking into the subconscious, like a distant dream.

The year 97 that he is in now may be the real world.

The only thing he could clearly remember was the future of the people involved.

Because of the perfect solving of the two cases, He Jinbo, who had only been a deputy captain of the criminal police until retirement, now has the opportunity to replace Zhang Bin and be promoted to another rank.

So, whenever he had free time, He Jinbo would go to the canteen to help Lao Fan with tasks like picking and washing vegetables, taking over the work of the canteen aunties and earning their disdain.

Zheng Kang was also expected to become the deputy captain, but he scoffed at it and continued to do things his own way, always wearing a sour face and looking difficult to deal with.

These events have deviated from the historical trajectory, so Yang Jinwen no longer tries to delve into his memories, nor does he dwell on those predetermined cases.

What will happen will happen. If he actively intervenes, like in the 5*30 case, the more he does, the more mistakes he makes.

Human life is important, but the course of history seems to be even more important.

In Yang Jinwen's heart, the person he thinks about most right now is his father, Yang Dachuan.

He and Jiang Hong have been gone for more than half a month, and they only spoke on the phone once during that time.

Yang Dachuan and Jiang Hong arrived safely in Shenzhen. The two were overjoyed, like country bumpkins visiting the Grand View Garden, their eyes dazzled by the sights.

They said on the phone that Shenzhen and Annan are very different, and that the economic situation in almost all cities is stagnant.

But only Shenzhen presents a vibrant scene, with high-rise buildings under construction everywhere, and newly built roads that are not only wide but also clean. Businessmen from almost all over the country are there.

People were in high spirits and walked with a brisk pace.

Following Yang Jinwen's money-making strategy, Yang Dachuan took out his savings from many years and prepared to start with real estate.

In 1998, the land transfer system based on agreements, which was in place before the housing reform, was about to be introduced.

Yang Dachuan could use the name of industrial land to acquire land at low prices, such as land in Nanshan District, where the price was about 500 yuan/㎡.

After 2003, it was converted into commercial and residential land, increasing in value by more than 100 times.

The focus is on developing small-sized apartments (70-90㎡) to cater to laid-off employees of state-owned enterprises.

He'd find someone surnamed Ma when he had money, but that's a story for later. The prerequisite was that Yang Dachuan didn't have enough savings; he needed to earn his first pot of gold.

Yang Jinwen suggested that he and Jiang Hong resell television sets from Shenzhen to the mainland to see if they could earn some start-up capital.

At that time, smuggling CDs from Hong Kong Island was more profitable than drug trafficking, and the profit from a single television set was several times higher.

On this day at the end of the month, all police officers from the Chengbei Branch were not required to go out to handle cases.

Early in the morning, everyone was cleaning.

From the top leaders of the branch office to the guards and canteen staff, everyone was sweating profusely, but they were all busy and happy.

The atmosphere in each department was cheerful, and the tables and windows were wiped clean.

In the afternoon, Lu Shaohua and Secretary Wan Donglai personally replaced a brand new flag in the courtyard.

Until 10 p.m., all the police officers of the Chengbei Branch gathered in the canteen. Each of them held a small stool and sat properly in front of the TV according to their rank, waiting for the midnight bell to ring.

Yang Jinwen and Maozi sat at the back, surrounded by a sea of ​​people.

Wen Ling brought over a small stool, squeezed between them, and sat down. She then held out her hand: "Want some sunflower seeds?"

Yang Jinwen shook his head, and the cat grabbed a handful. The two of them furtively ate sunflower seeds.

Wen Ling asked in a low voice, "Yang Jinwen, once your master becomes the deputy captain, will you be able to handle cases independently?"

"I have to wait until my police officer ID is issued."

Wen Ling nodded: "You must be handling big cases; the people in the Municipal Bureau can't compare to you."

Yang Jinwen smiled and said, "The Municipal Bureau mainly guides our work."

Wen Ling shook her head: "They also want to handle cases now, to share the pressure on our branch. If you hadn't ruined Liao Guohua's case, he would have gone to the municipal bureau to work on criminal investigations."

Cat looked at her: "Did your dad tell you that?"

"What do you mean 'my dad'? He's referred to by his position, he's the Wen Detachment Leader."

Cat nodded: "Yes, Captain Wen. They wouldn't be trying to take Xiao Yang away, would they? He's taken three days off in the last two weeks."

Yang Jinwen also had this concern; he didn't want to work at the Municipal Bureau, at least not now.

Wen Ling shook her head: "Yang Guochang did want to transfer you, but Director Lu wouldn't allow it. Wen's team also supports Director Lu, saying that young people should be trained at the grassroots level first, and that they shouldn't take too big a step."

Cat agreed wholeheartedly: "That's true, it's easy to tear your balls."

"What did you say?" Wen Ling glared at him. "Cat, let me tell you, don't make dirty jokes about the forensic doctor, or I might..."

Wen Ling laughed viciously, and the cat felt a chill run down its spine when it saw her expression.

He had previously harbored fantasies about Wen Ling, but once he learned that she was the only daughter of the Wen branch of the municipal bureau, he immediately gave up the idea.

He was thinking of giving it to Yang Jinwen, but all he could think about right now was Zou Jiahui from the archives.

At this moment, Zou Jiahui would glance at him from time to time, seemingly very concerned about him.

This made the cat incredibly excited, regretting that she hadn't used Yang Jinwen's hair gel this morning to create a flashy hairstyle.

As he was lost in thought, a song came on the television, and he immediately turned his face away.

"The little river meanders southward, flowing to Hong Kong to take a look. My love, Pearl of the Orient, is your charm still as romantic as ever...?"

The harbor is bathed in the crescent moon light, the night is deep yet the lights are bright. The Pearl of the East Wind remains awake all night, keeping its promise through the changing times...

"Let the sea breeze blow for five thousand years..."

Then, a spectacular display of fireworks erupted over Annam, illuminating the entire night sky.

Inside the canteen of the Chengbei Branch, the veteran criminal police officers erupted in enthusiastic cheers.

An era has passed!
