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

Chapter 95 The Chase!
five minutes later.

Yang Jinwen returned to his seat, where Wen Ling had already prepared his meal.

The lunchbox contained fragrant stir-fried pork with garlic sprouts and water spinach with pork cracklings, all covered with steaming white rice.

He glanced at Wen Ling and Maozi, then asked sternly, "Where's my chicken leg?"

Wen Ling blinked: "Chicken leg? What chicken leg?"

She was lying through her teeth; the chicken leg skeleton on the table looked like the human thigh bone that stood upright in her forensic lab.

Furthermore, she licked her thumb and forefinger, clearly indicating that she had just finished sneaking a bite.

"Eh……"

Yang Jinwen shook his head, picked up his chopsticks, and prepared to eat.

Just then, He Jinbo's shouts suddenly rang out from outside the cafeteria.

"Attention, everyone in the Criminal Investigation Team! We're heading to Dong'an City immediately! This business trip is on the list drafted by Director Lu, so please don't be reluctant."

Whoever's name I call, come here right now!

"Jiang Jianbing!"

"Xu Guoliang!"

"Yang Jinwen!"

"Jiang Mao..."

He Jinbo's voice, filled with confusion, echoed throughout every corner of the branch office: "Who is this Jiang Mao? When did we get a new guy in our office?"

Zheng Kang's voice also came through the loudspeaker. He smacked his lips and said, "This name looks familiar. I feel like I've heard it somewhere before."

Wen Ling chuckled and said, "Brother Cat, if you don't want to go, no one will find out that you've deserted. After all, Jiang Mao has nothing to do with you."

Cat has become completely immune to these people. He quickly ate the rice from his lunchbox and ran to the shelf where the lunchboxes were kept.

Yang Jinwen followed, and the two of them found He Jinbo and Zheng Kang's lunchboxes on the shelf and quickly ran to the display window.

Old Fan swung his large ladle and filled each lunchbox to the brim with food.

Yang Jinwen found a plastic bag and put their lunchboxes and his own together.

Just as the two were about to leave, Lao Fan called out, "Wait a minute."

Yang Jinwen and Maozi turned around, and Lao Fan picked up a dozen or so white steamed buns from the steamer, put them in a plastic bag, and handed them out the window: "Going to Dong'an City, it will take seven or eight hours on the road. Take these with you to eat on the way, and be careful."

Maozi took it and nodded, "Thank you, Uncle Fan."

When the two ran into the yard, He Jinbo was already waiting for them.

"What are you dawdling about? Captain Wen is still waiting for us at the Municipal Bureau!"

Yang Jinwen took out lunchboxes one by one: "I'll eat on the way."

He Jinbo touched his nose, chuckled, and shook his head.

Everyone received their own lunchboxes and split into two cars, driving out of the branch office compound.

When they arrived at the Municipal Public Security Bureau, Wen Mo was already waiting by the roadside, carrying a briefcase.

He had just gotten into the car when he waved his hand in front of his nose: "Oh my, is Old Fan cooking twice-cooked pork today? It smells so strong!"

"Captain Wen, would you like something to eat?"

He Jinbo handed over his lunchbox, which he had been holding back from eating, and now he was showing it off.

Wen Mo shook his head: "I've already eaten at the Municipal Bureau's canteen, but the cooking is much worse than Lao Fan's. When we get back, we'll have our celebration banquet at your branch bureau's canteen."

"That's great! My skills are pretty good too; I've learned a lot from Lao Fan," He Jinbo said with a fawning expression.

Wen Mo glanced at the driver and saw that it was Yang Jinwen, with Zheng Kang in the passenger seat.

"We're pressed for time, let's go." Yang Jinwen nodded and drove off.

Wen Mo placed his briefcase on his lap and said, "Let me explain the situation to you first. The director of the criminal investigation bureau in Dong'an City is surnamed Zhao, and the branch captain is named Luo Bing."

After receiving our call, they immediately launched an investigation in Dong'an City and were quite cooperative. When we get there, we need to be proactive too. We shouldn't assume that just because the perpetrators are on their side, we can stand idly by and watch.

He Jinbo nodded: "That's for sure."

"In addition, Director Yang said at the meeting yesterday that as long as we bring back the last two perpetrators, he will be promoted one rank, and that's not just talk."

As you know, these kinds of large-scale robberies, especially those involving two deaths and five perpetrators, are particularly serious.

No matter which city or county, it takes several years to catch the person, which is time-consuming and laborious.

This time, we caught three criminals in just one week, which was very fast and surprised the city bureau leaders.

Especially Director Yang, who had originally planned to spend the funds lavishly, but unexpectedly didn't spend any at all.

He Jinbo chuckled and said, "That's because the leaders are very good at commanding."

"is it?"

He Jinbo noticed something was off about the tone and touched his nose.

Wen Mo patted the front seat: "Yang Jinwen, tell me, what's the reason?"

Yang Jinwen was driving when he glanced at the rearview mirror and pondered, "I think it's a weakness of human nature. If Ma Dong hadn't lost control of his lower body during the crime and left us with clues, we wouldn't have been able to catch him so quickly."

Wen Mo nodded: "That's right, it's the weakness of human nature."

He took out Li Tianquan's and Yong Wancai's identification information from his briefcase and handed it to He Jinbo: "Take a look in the car."

He Jinbo handed a copy to Zheng Kang in the front row, and the two of them buried their heads in their books and read in silence.

Wen Mo glanced at Yang Jinwen, who was driving, and said, "Li Tianquan, a 41-year-old from Qinyang City, is in prison for theft and causing a third-degree disability."

Three years ago, after he was released from prison, he went back to his old ways, but he had never been caught and was considered a habitual offender.

He was married once, but his wife ran off with someone else, taking their child with her. His parents also died, so he is now all alone. This kind of person is extremely dangerous.

Yong Wancai, also from Qinyang City, was imprisoned for fighting and loan sharking, and was just released a year ago.

Although he has a family, the police station in his registered residence area reports that he hasn't returned home, called home, or sent money since his release from prison.

Yang Jinwen knew Wen Mo was talking to him, and he said, "So that means we can't trace them through their families?"

Wen Mo replied, "The provincial criminal investigation team has already placed people in their home, but I don't think it will have much effect."

Yang Jinwen glanced at the rearview mirror: "Captain Wen, I'm thinking that if these two want to pull off a big heist, and they specifically chose Dong'an City, and they even confidently told Bai Jianfeng that if they heard gunshots in Dong'an City, it meant they had struck it rich."

So I have two questions.

Wen Mo pushed up his glasses: "Go on."

"First, why did they choose Dong'an City? Is it because they are very familiar with this place? Is that why they chose to commit crimes in Dong'an City?"

Secondly, Li Tianquan invited Ma Dong, Sha Lei, and others to pull off another big heist. Had they already planned this in advance?
Or perhaps, if Li Tianquan and Yong Wancai couldn't handle it, were there other people involved?

Wen Mo squinted, paused, and replied, "Your thinking is on the right track. What we found out from the prison where Li Tianquan and Yong Wancai are serving their sentences is that, besides the two of them being the closest, there is another person named Zhang Tianqiao."

Zhang Tianqiao is a local of Dong'an City. He was imprisoned for fifteen years for manslaughter. He had good behavior during his imprisonment and was just released half a month ago.

Zhang Tianqiao used to work at an agricultural machinery factory. During his imprisonment, he mentioned to his fellow inmates that he had hidden a Type 56 rifle outside.

We can speculate that they're planning a big heist, likely targeting places like banks, securities firms, and jewelry stores.

He Jinbo's eyes widened, and Zheng Kang was also startled.

56?

This is seriously outrageous!
