Death sentence turned into acquittal? Who told him to be a detective!

Chapter 19 Director Du Tao!

Chapter 19 Director Du Tao!
Inside the Hanhai City Police Station.

Police Chief Du Tao looked at Chen Changchun with admiration and satisfaction in his eyes.

A snail case occurred in Hanhai City, which involved a death and was no small matter. Even he, the police chief, had to personally go to the scene to investigate.

He went there, and when he arrived, his heart sank, realizing how difficult the case was!

But unexpectedly
Three days!

No, the murderer was apprehended in less than three days!
Furthermore, the case includes a seven-year-old cold case and a four-year-old suicide case, and it also uncovers a case of someone taking the blame.
This is simply unimaginable!
Normally, it would be considered incredibly fast to complete these checks in half a month, but Hongfu District only took less than three days.
This is truly unimaginable.

"Captain Chen, please share your work experience."

Du Tao looked at Chen Changchun with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the captains of the other districts also turned their attention to the other party.

Feeling the many gazes directed at him, Chen Changchun's lips curled up slightly.

Hanhai City has three districts and nine counties. There is also a hierarchy of contempt among the criminal police brigades of the three districts, and Hongfu District, which is being exploited, is at the bottom of the hierarchy.

In previous years, they have received the least police resources and funding, and have been ridiculed a lot.

but now.
He can pull off a big show!
Recalling Wang Chao's demeanor back then, Chen Changchun calmly stood up and said:

"Case 20040601, the crime scene was on Hongfu Street."

"Based on the information at the scene, normally the police should have considered this a murder case, but that's not the case, according to..."

"Afterwards, the police contacted the deceased's family, but it was just a little bluff. Sure enough, at 11 p.m. that night, they gave themselves away and drove off into the countryside!"

As he spoke, Chen Changchun's gaze sharpened.

He found several photos among the documents he had brought and distributed them to the group.

Everyone looked down and saw that in the photo, several policemen were in a dark forest, forming a circle. In the center was a deep pit, and inside the pit, an undercover officer was holding a sack with both hands and pulling it out with all his might!

Everyone was surprised and looked at the other photos.

The other photos show sacks that have been pulled open, revealing skeletons when illuminated by light!

"Police took the remains to the funeral home."

As he spoke, Chen Changchun pointed to several other details on the skeleton.

"Based on the round shape of the pelvic inlet, it was determined that the deceased was female."

"Based on the fact that the sagittal suture of the skull is half closed and the coronal suture is closed, the age is estimated to be between 30 and 40."

"However, there was no osteophyte formation at the edges of the lumbar and thoracic vertebrae, so the deceased should be under 40 years old and under 35 years old."

"Based on this information, the police confirmed that the deceased was Zhang Cui from Chenjia Village, who had disappeared seven years ago!"

"At this point, the case is clear."

After saying that.

The expressions of the people around him varied.

Some people looked at him with surprise and muttered to themselves.

There were also doubts, wondering where the other party had found someone who could identify the remains.

As for Chen Hua…

As he spoke, Chen Changchun revealed a profound and unfathomable expression.

Have you ever heard of the 'Prisoner's Dilemma'?

The Prisoner's Dilemma?

What the hell is this?
Everyone was confused.

"Hey Chen Dadan, you're all retired from the army, what are you pretending to be, a scholar?!" someone couldn't help but say.

Chen Changchun's face was full of disdain.

"Look at you, so uncultured!"

"In short, you just need to know that Chen Hua gave himself away during the interrogation and that he was there to take the blame."

"And the only person he can take the blame for is Chen Dong."

Upon hearing this, everyone present hesitated, wanting to speak but holding back, and finally sighed.

Although they often criticize Chen Changchun, there are appropriate occasions for it.

They were all convinced that the snail case could be solved within three days, because if they were in charge, the case might have become a backlog.

Du Tao glanced at Chen Changchun but said nothing.

He looked at the time.

It was already late afternoon, almost evening, and after thinking for a moment, he spoke:

"Meeting dismissed."

Everyone in the office nodded.

The meeting itself was not to discuss Case 20040601, but rather to discuss the planning for the second half of the year in Hanhai City, focusing on the goal of becoming a 'civilized city'.

Chen Changchun's sharing of experiences was also aimed at preventing the recurrence of backlogged cases.

only.
As everyone stood up, taking their notes and preparing to leave...

Du Tao suddenly spoke up:

"Captain Chen, please stay behind."

Chen Changchun, who was about to leave, paused, not knowing what had happened, but did not leave.

After everyone had left.

Du Tao got up and walked towards the door.

"Squeak~"

The door was closed.

Du Tao turned to look at Chen Changchun with a smile.

"Chen Changchun, congratulations on your meritorious service." Chen Changchun, who was still puzzled, felt a chill run down his spine upon hearing this.

In the past, when Du Tao said this, it was never a good thing. Either they would ask him for talent, or they would make him work like a beast of burden!

Chen Changchun quickly spoke up:

"Director Du, you flatter me too much!"

"This is hardly a meritorious service. Such a heinous case happened in my jurisdiction. It's already a mercy from Director Du not to punish me."

Du Tao's lips twitched, thinking to himself, 'Why isn't this kid taking the bait?'

After thinking for a moment, Du Tao's expression hardened.

"Tell me, what exactly is this 'Prisoner's Dilemma'?"

Chen Changchun was about to speak when, a second later, he embarrassingly realized that he hadn't remembered everything at all.
He could only vaguely reply, "It's just two of those things."

Upon seeing this, Du Tao chuckled and said:
"Did someone tell you that?"

"Heh, do you think I don't know what kind of detective you are, old man?"

"The reasoning logic in this case is completely different from what you're used to. Tell me, which policeman solved it?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Changchun's face immediately fell.

His lips kept moving, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.

Finally, he sighed and said:

"Director Du, the brigade really has no talent. The most educated person in the whole bureau is my apprentice Wang Chao, and you know what kind of person he is."

Upon hearing this, Du Tao frowned, about to reprimand him.

But then Chen Changchun suddenly said:

"He's an unofficial staff member!"

"This kid is a capable person. He guided the entire case from beginning to end, including seeing through Chen Hua's attempt to take the blame."

Upon hearing this, Du Tao seemed to remember something. He raised an eyebrow and asked in surprise:
"Was the bonus application for him?"

according to rules.

If a citizen assists or provides information that benefits the police, the authorities should reward them according to regulations!
“Yes.” Chen Changchun nodded.

Du Tao's expression turned strange as he looked Chen Changchun up and down.

"Let an unofficial staff member guide the investigation?"

"You really dare to do that."

"This guy is pretty impressive. A bunch of police officers were helpless, but he took a look at the scene and actually solved the problem!"

Chen Changchun sighed. He couldn't do anything about it. The police station had a set of fixed procedures for solving cases. Once a case deviated from these procedures, it would become troublesome.

When the incident occurred, he realized that the case was very difficult, and he happened to overhear Wang Chao's words.

Why not take a gamble? It's just some money anyway.

After he said all these things.

Du Tao immediately frowned.

He didn't feel he had lost any dignity, but
How much did you spend?

Hanhai City's finances are very tight. Any money they have goes into training forensic scientists, leaving them with absolutely no money to invest in talent.

not enough
Chen Changchun said, "Three thousand for consultation fees, five thousand each for the brigade and the municipal bureau, totaling thirteen thousand."

One hundred and thirty thousand?

Du Tao was stunned, then suddenly asked, "Is a zero missing?"

Chen Changchun shook his head, "No, it's thirteen thousand."

In an instant, the conference room fell silent.

How much does it typically cost the police to solve a major criminal case?
Putting everything else aside, the police force alone is worth several times 13,000!
The other party will resolve this mess for 13,000.
Du Tao suddenly raised his head, looking at Chen Changchun with anger at his lack of ambition.

"You're not going to recruit someone like this? Don't come crying to me later that you have no one to rely on!"

Chen Changchun immediately cried out that he was innocent.

"Director Du, I tried to win him over, but he refused. His father's dying wish was for him to become a lawyer, and I can't make him go against that wish, can I?"

It was a last wish.
That's fine.

Du Tao sighed, still feeling somewhat anxious.

After thinking for a long time, he spoke:

"Your team should try to win him over."

"As for this incident, Hongfu District deserves credit for it!"

"We'll add more police cars and manpower to your brigade at the end of the year."

Upon hearing this, Chen Changchun was overjoyed and quickly saluted.

"Yes!"

After thinking for a moment, Du Tao pondered and then said:

"The case can now be handed over to the court."

Chen Changchun was taken aback, remained silent for a long time, and then sighed, this time in a much softer voice than before.

"Yes."
