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

Chapter 81 Taking Office! (Please read on!)

"no……"

Liang Xiaojun's eyes darted around: "Officer, please don't slander me. I really didn't know Tian Xiong and his men wanted to do this. They just came to have drinks with my brother and me. I really don't know anything else."

"Is that so?" Zheng Kang pointed to the interrogation room door: "There are twelve people in your room. Apart from Tian Xiong, who has been shot dead, there are ten others being interrogated."

Liang Xiaojun, listen carefully to me. If you confess honestly, I'll take your confession and walk out of this interrogation room first. That will count as a meritorious service.

If I'm the last one to leave this interrogation room, then you're the one with the most serious crimes, understand?

Yang Jinwen sat to the side, holding a pen, about to take notes, when he looked up and gave the other person a hard time.

"Attempted bank robbery, illegal possession of firearms, organizing a gang of thugs, and most importantly, two of our police officers were injured by you and their fate is still unknown."

"Liang Xiaojun, you'd better pray they don't get into trouble. Otherwise, every single one of you will be in trouble. You should think carefully about what fate awaits you."

Upon hearing this, Liang Xiaojun turned pale and his shoulders trembled.

These charges combined meant he was going to be shot. His heart pounded in his chest.

"Officers, my brother and I really didn't do anything. If you don't believe me, go ask Captain Liao."

They saw the shooting, and my brother and I were so scared we hid in the corner, too afraid to move. We didn't dare to confront you police officers.

Zheng Kang said impatiently, "Liang Xiaojun, you really don't intend to confess, do you? Even if what you're saying is true."

But the crime scene was in your own home, and you still think you're innocent? The prosecutor's office can charge you with the death penalty based on that alone!

"This...I..."

Liang Xiaojun was so frightened that he couldn't catch his breath. After coughing a few times, he said, "Officers, don't scare me. Just ask me whatever you want. I'll answer whatever you ask. Don't worry, I'll be absolutely honest. I swear to my mother."

………………

The criminal investigation team of the Chengbei Branch worked through the night. After grabbing a quick breakfast in the canteen and verifying the statements of the perpetrators, they rushed to the conference room.

Yang Guochang, Wen Mo, and Lu Shaohua were already waiting inside, along with Chai Tao from the Jiaxing branch.

There wasn't a single person from the Chengnan branch, not even the chief.

Even so, the conference room was packed with people, with people standing on both sides of the conference table.

Time was of the essence, and unlike usual, Yang Guochang didn't waste any words at the beginning; he tapped the table with his knuckles.

"Let's start with what happened last night. How's the interrogation of He Jinbo and Liang Xiaojun's gang going?"

He Jinbo stood up and replied, "Reporting to Director Yang, they have all confessed. We have also compared each person's statement in detail, and there are little discrepancy. The facts are clear."

"What's going on?"

"Last night, Tian Xiong brought his henchmen to find Liang Xiaojun and his brother. The group of them ate and drank in the house and discussed doing something big: robbing a bank."

But this is not very credible, because according to Tian Xiong's lover and younger brother, Tian Xiong had never mentioned this matter before.

He said this while he was drunk; he was probably just bragging.

Tian Xiong was a notorious thug in the eastern part of the city and the leader of the pickpockets. Liang Xiaojun and his brother were his followers.

Last night, when Captain Liao and his men broke down the door, Tian Xiong pulled out a replica Type 54 pistol he was carrying. As soon as Captain Liao and his men kicked the door open, that bastard opened fire.

Tian Xiong fired four shots, injuring two young police officers from the Chengnan branch. Then, Tian Xiong fled to the bedroom inside, attempting to escape by jumping out of the window…

At this point, He Jinbo turned and glanced at Yang Jinwen.

"At that moment, three comrades from our branch, Zheng Kang, Jiang Jianbing, and Yang Jinwen, were waiting downstairs, about to arrest Peng Yu who had jumped out of the window. Tian Xiong saw the police lying in wait below from the window, so he raised his gun and pulled the trigger downstairs."

If Yang Jinwen hadn't reminded them, Zheng Kang and Jiang Jianbing might have confessed...

At this point, He Jinbo touched his nose, feeling a little embarrassed as he thought about the slingshot Yang Jinwen was holding.

Yang Guochang frowned and said, "Continue, what happened next?"

"When Tian Xiong finished firing his gun and was about to jump out of the window, Yang Jinwen used a slingshot to knock him back."

Then, our men rushed into the bedroom. Tian Xiong still had one bullet in his gun and tried to shoot us, but he was shot and killed by Captain Liao.

"No..." Wen Mo looked surprised: "Yang Jinwen used a slingshot to shoot the person back? Where did he get a slingshot? When did your North City Branch get equipped with this thing?"

He Jinbo said with a wry smile, "This is the one I used to practice my marksmanship with; I gave it to him."

Why not give him a gun?

"Uh……"

Lu Shaohua quickly explained, "He's a new police officer, still in the probationary period."

Yang Guochang glanced at Yang Jinwen, who was tall and burly, standing against the wall, two heads taller than Maozi, making him the tallest person in the conference room.

"Nonsense! In times of crisis, you don't even trust your own comrades? Give him a gun, I said it!"

"Yes, yes!" He Jinbo nodded quickly, not wanting Lu Shaohua to continue the conversation.

Wen Mo asked, "I heard that Peng Yu, who jumped out of the window, was also arrested by Yang Jinwen?"

"He's the one who caught him."

Wen Mo nodded: "Good, handled very well! This matter will be recorded."

As soon as he said this, Wen Ling, who was sitting at the end of the conference table, turned her head and winked at Yang Jinwen, as if to say: See? My dad likes you.

Yang Guochang pondered for a moment and said, "This is also a major case. The facts of the crime are clear. The culprit, Tian Xiong, was killed, but the testimonies of the others are consistent."

The Chengnan Brigade mishandled this matter, causing serious losses! Wen and I just returned from the hospital; the two injured officers are still receiving emergency treatment.

The case at Fuqing Garden occurred in the eastern part of the city and was investigated by the Jiaxing branch of the Public Security Bureau.

As for Case 705, Director Lu, it will be handled by your North City Branch Criminal Investigation Team.

Hearing this, Lu Shaohua was not happy, and He Jinbo also looked distressed.

It is obvious that the five perpetrators of this bus robbery could not possibly still be in Annam City; they must have already fled to another city or province.

In a vast sea of ​​people, like finding a needle in a haystack, where do you even begin to search?

It would take at least a year and a half, or three to five years, or even five to six years, to bring all the perpetrators to justice.

Seeing their predicament, Wen Mo said, "This case is not something your North City Branch can handle alone. Our Municipal Bureau will fully cooperate and provide all necessary funding and technical support."

He Jinbo remained silent; all he could think about was endless visits and investigations.

And it's not just in Annam City; it could be all over the country. Searching for and tracking down these good people will be such a difficult and arduous task.

Yang Guochang didn't give them a chance to object: "It's settled then! Let's continue with the case. How did Liang Xiaojun and Liang Xiaobing's identity information appear at the East China Bus Station?"
