Chapter 193 Does this criminal organization have a training center?

From that day on, Meng Lan also lived in Guan Xia's house.

The two-bedroom, one-living-room apartment was not very big, and it was a bit crowded for four people. But fortunately, they were all girls, so it was not inconvenient. Besides, it was only temporary, and everyone's attention was on the criminal organization, so they got along very well.

Xu Nian was very busy, and Guan Xia was not idle either. She stayed in the study all day long. In this busy state, five days passed unknowingly.

It was not until one afternoon when Xu Nian and Qi Bai came knocking on the door that Guan Xia realized that the rest of the people had returned from Shangshuang City.

After not seeing each other for a week, Qi Bai's dark circles had thickened again. At first glance, he looked like a panda, but he wasn't thinner, in fact, he looked a little stronger. Carrying a lot of things in his hands, he squeezed out from behind Xu Nian and said cheerfully, "Guan Xia, these are all my colleagues in Shangshuang City who asked me to bring you. Actually, there are more, but Brother Jiang and I split the luggage allowance, and it's not enough, so we had to have them express the rest. I couldn't remember your home address at the time, so I left it with Captain Xu. I'll have him pick up the package for you and bring it to your door."

Guan Xia looked at him in surprise, a little speechless, "You remember Xu Nian but not me? I live across the street from your Captain Xu."

Qi Bai chuckled sheepishly, put down his things, scratched his head, and said, "Isn't it because I've been staying up all night that my brain is so dull? I only suddenly realized it when I was going through security. Wang Yu even scolded me for being stupid several times."

As Qi Bai finished speaking, Wang Yu walked in carrying something and said, "Don't accuse me wrongly. I didn't scold you. Don't even think about ruining my image in front of Guan Xia."

Guan Xia only had time to say a few words before the two of them started bickering again like fighting cocks.

Xu Nian seemed used to it. He took the things from Wang Yu's hand, looked at Guan Xia and asked, "Where should I put the things for you? Should I put them in the living room first?"

Guan Xia glanced at Jiang Yingyao who came in with more food and said with a headache, "There's so much, I can't finish it. Let's divide it up and take some away. Otherwise, the house will be full and Pang Le and the others will have no place to sleep."

Although Guan Xia only took a quick glance, she noticed that they were all local specialties. They could be stored for a long time, but there were too many of them. She was afraid that they would expire before she could finish eating them, which would be a waste of other people's kindness.

Unexpectedly, her proposal was rejected by the seemingly easygoing Jiang Yingyao, who smiled and said, "Don't worry, we have them all, and our house is almost full. If you don't believe me, go downstairs and see, there's still some piled in the trunk. We drove three cars here just for these things."

Guan Xia was experiencing this kind of situation for the first time and was a little unsure how to handle it. Finally, Xu Nian said, "After all, you helped Shangshuang City solve such a big case. If we weren't in a hurry to leave, we would have been forced to stay and treated well once the case was over. These are just some local specialties, as a token of their kindness. Just accept them. If there's too much, share it with Pang Le and other friends. We can always finish it."

Guan Xia immediately glanced at Pang Le, and thinking of Pang Le's family and so many fellow apprentices, he felt moved and agreed, "Okay."

As soon as Qi Bai and the others came back, they felt that the house instantly became much more lively. After all the specialties were brought up and they exchanged a few pleasantries, everyone quickly got down to business, which could be considered a meeting.

For convenience, the meeting was held at Xu Nian's home. Meng Lan naturally did not participate. She stayed alone at Guan Xia's home to work remotely. When a group of people left, Meng Lan had a stern face and her fingers almost left afterimages on the keyboard.

After entering Xu Nian's house, Qi Bai familiarly moved out all the stools he could find. Xu Nian went to pour water, and everyone sat in a circle around the coffee table. Guan Xia was the first to look at Jiang Yingyao and ask, "Brother Jiang, since we left Shangshuang City, have you found any new clues in the case? Especially in the case of Wu Xingxian's silencing, are there any new progress?"

Jiang Yingyao put down the water cup he had just taken a sip from and said, "In the case of Kangjian Physical Examination Center, the subsequent investigation is just supplementing clues. It can't be said that there are any discoveries, but there are two things you should know."

Jiang Yingyao didn't like keeping people in suspense, so without waiting for Guan Xia to ask, he continued, "One is the fake Wu Yingze. After you left, we took advantage of the task force to meet the faker and roughly learned the whole story. The real Wu Yingze died in his second year studying abroad, the year he was kidnapped. After he was discharged from the hospital and returned to the country, he was replaced. It is said that his body was thrown directly into the river. There are crocodiles in rivers abroad, so it can be said that there was no trace of his body. In addition, the person who replaced him was about the same height and build as him, and he had plastic surgery to look like him. Although his face is a little different from the original, it can be considered plastic surgery to repair his injury, so he has not been exposed all these years."

Guan Xia frowned when he heard this, "Wu Xingxian didn't recognize him either?"

Jiang Yingyao said, "According to the imposter's confession, Wu Xingxian's attitude suggests he didn't recognize him. After all, from what we've found, Wu Xingxian and Wu Yingze had a close relationship before coming to Shangshuang City. But after arriving in Shangshuang City, I don't know what happened to Wu Xingxian. He was so busy that he barely saw Wu Yingze. Even during something as serious as his son's kidnapping, he barely showed up. So it's not surprising he didn't recognize him."

Guan Xia suddenly thought of something and asked, "What about that ex-girlfriend? She's the legal representative of Kangjian Physical Examination Center. What's going on with her?"

Jiang Yingyao said with a heavy expression, "He's dead too. He was silenced. I don't know how the National Security Bureau got the confession, but the imposter said he was silenced."

Guan Xia had expected this, but now that her guess has been confirmed, she is still a little disappointed. It's such a pity for such a young girl.

Guan Xia asked again, "How did she get targeted? And why did she have to be the one? And if they wanted to hide it better, shouldn't they find someone who has no connection to Wu Yingze?"

Jiang Yingyao explained, "The imposter took Wu Yingze's identity for money. He wanted to trade organs. He wanted Wu Xingxian to invest in such a large medical examination center. Even though Wu Xingxian only had Wu Yingze as his son, he had to be extremely cautious. So the imposter had no choice but to find an ally. However, his identity couldn't be exposed, and he couldn't withstand investigation. The girl was forced to flee and was then silenced. We later found out that even now, the girl's family still doesn't know she's dead. There are still people abroad pretending to be the girl, and they regularly contact her family to prevent them from noticing anything unusual and suspecting the imposter Wu Yingze."

Guan Xia was stunned when he heard this, but after thinking about it carefully, it made sense. After all, whether it was organ trafficking or impersonating Wu Yingze, once discovered, it would be a dead end.

Guan Xia calmed down for a few seconds, and Jiang Yingyao started talking about the second thing.

Jiang Yingyao looked at Guan Xia and asked, "I wonder if you still remember the names Lin Cheng and Xu Hongliang."

Suddenly hearing names that seemed familiar yet strange, Guan Xia took two seconds to recall and said, "Aren't these the two murderers of Wang Huiqin's parents and brother? I remember when you found out, they were both shot dead on the spot for resisting arrest."

Jiang Yingyao nodded and said, "Yes, it was them. When the Kangjian Physical Examination Center case was wrapping up, we later met with peripheral members similar to Geng Jing. However, unlike Geng Jing, those people had more experience and had been working as thugs for longer. Most importantly, they were all locals and had never left Shangshuang City. They had been involved in petty theft, kidnapping, and extortion since they were young."

Guan Xia understood something, her eyes lit up, and she asked Jiang Yingyao, "Have you asked them about Lin Cheng, Xu Hongliang, and other gang members?"

Jiang Yingyao nodded again and said, "Yes, we had hoped so. Who knew one of them actually knew, and he had even seen him. He said it was around the end of 2011, near the Chinese New Year, and he had just been released from prison a few days ago. Then, he met someone through an introduction. He didn't know the man's name, but he looked a bit like the person in the photo we handed him. The man said that he wanted him to join them to do something big, or something to accumulate merit. When he heard it, he thought it was a job like stealing corrupt officials, and he was excited to join. But who knew it meant killing people, and since he had no money, he didn't agree. As a result, he was ridiculed and mocked. He couldn't help but talk back, and ended up getting beaten up. So he was particularly impressed. Even after more than ten years, he still remembers this person."

Guan Xia sat up straight subconsciously after hearing this, and said thoughtfully: "At the end of 2011, I committed a murder, which also accumulated merits. Plus, this location in Shangshuang City..."

Guan Xia quickly figured something out and said with a cheer, "Based on these clues, these four people are indeed connected to that criminal organization, but they are clearly different. So they were sent by Wu Xingxian to Shangshuang City as a scout. If we push back further, it's very likely that Wu Xingxian and Wu Yang had a conflict in 2009 or 2010, or even fell out."

Jiang Yingyao said: "We also speculated so, so Wu Xingxian's case was not yet closed. As soon as we got this news, we returned."

No wonder several people came back earlier than Guan Xia expected. It turned out that they really got some important clues.

Guan Xia thought for a moment and asked again, "In the case of Wu Xingxian being silenced, besides this clue, have you found anything else?"

Jiang Yingyao shook his head. "The people who silenced us were very cautious. Before we returned, the task force hadn't gained anything."

Guan Xia sighed inwardly. Compared to the criminal organization centered around Wu Xingxian, the other group of people was more low-key and professional. Whether it was Lu Manqing or Wu Xingxian who were silenced, they cleaned up the mess very cleanly. In addition, it was so sudden that it was indeed not easy to track them down.

Thinking of Lu Manqing, Guan Xia couldn't help but turn around and look at Xu Nian again and ask, "Did your taxi application get approved when you came back? Do we know the follow-up investigation status of the clues we found earlier?"

Xu Nian said, "It's approved. I've been looking through the case files these past few days and have met with Director Ren several times. However, the case is too complicated, with many clues that are scattered, and I haven't been able to figure anything out."

Guan Xia perked up immediately after hearing this and urged, "Then tell me quickly, what are the subsequent clues?"

Xu Nian frowned and thought for a moment before he said, "Let's talk about it bit by bit, starting with the story of Lu Manqing being silenced."

This talk lasted nearly two hours, and Guan Xia Shui drank several cups of wine. Finally, he finished listening and had a general idea of ​​the clues the task force had obtained so far.

The task force was actually established before Lu Manqing was silenced. However, at that time, people only had a preliminary impression of the criminal organization and did not know much. In addition, they had to consider and coordinate the time of experts and public security officers from the provincial department, municipal bureau, and various branches. Therefore, the task force did not have many members. It was not until the night when Lu Manqing was silenced that the provincial department leaders were furious and all other cases had to give way to this one case. Only then did the number of members increase overnight.

With so many people investigating a case thoroughly, the subsequent progress would naturally be fast, but what was disappointing was that the investigation was not smooth. First, several criminals attacked the police convoy to silence Lu Manqing. It was confirmed through surveillance that there were a total of seven people that night, divided into two cars. Five people in one car attacked the police car carrying Lu Manqing, and two people in the other car attacked the car carrying Xu Nian and others following closely, and fled in two directions after the incident.

Both cars were sniper cars. They were obviously familiar with the nearby terrain and the distribution of surveillance cameras. Before the police chase after the incident, they successfully drove into a section of road without surveillance cameras and then disappeared.

The police organized a search team of thousands of people, searching parking lots, repair shops, and vehicle scrapping plants throughout the city, and also turned some nearby villages upside down, but they found no clues. The task force suspected that they might have escaped to other cities through some country roads that night, or simply sank the vehicle into unknown places such as lakes, rivers, and under cliffs.

There was no result from tracking the vehicles, nor from tracking the people. On the night of the incident, all seven people were fully armed, wearing hoods, hats, gloves, and even high collars. From the figures in the surveillance video, we can only judge their approximate age, gender, body shape, suspected occupation and physical condition. Not even a noticeable mole can be seen. In a city of millions of people, the search is like looking for a needle in a haystack. In any case, no criminal suspect who meets the expert profile has been found so far.

As for the gun, there are even fewer clues. At the beginning, the task force was worried that the organization would commit a crime soon after stealing the gun. However, almost half a year has passed and there has not been a single suspected case. Now it is impossible to speculate what the organization intended to do by stealing the gun.

As for the website address that Xu Nian and his team found through Zhang Weiyan, it became invalid the next day after they handed it over to the Internet police for investigation. The Internet police only traced the source to a foreign server. As of now, the investigation is still ongoing, but there is obviously no effective result.

When Guan Xia heard this, she asked, "What about the URL on the note Meng Lan received? Can it be opened?"

Guan Xia was actually very curious, but for safety reasons, none of them dared to use their own equipment to search, but instead handed it over directly to the task force.

Xu Nian’s answer was: that website address had been invalid for a long time, and the Internet police tried to track it down as soon as they got it, but it was also a foreign server, so they didn’t find anything.

Guan Xia was not surprised. After all, for that organization to grow so big, it must be very cautious.

The investigation into these specific clues yielded no results, but some discoveries were made in other areas, such as Lu Manqing, Feng Xingping, and Yao Qingyan.

The task force thoroughly investigated all their experiences from birth to the present, and found many suspicious points and some similarities. For example, Feng Xingping was once molested and sexually assaulted by his stepfather, but when he was 19 years old, his stepfather died of homicide. The cause of death was a stabbing in the heart from behind. There was also an eyewitness at the time of the crime, a 13-year-old child, but because the child was too frightened, he showed symptoms of short-term memory loss. Until the task force investigated, no suspect was found, but because of Zhang Weiyan's case, the task force easily linked the two cases together.

The task force also reopened the case and successfully identified the suspect from the surveillance video through some known clues and speculation. Unfortunately, they were a step too slow. The suspect had died just a week before they confirmed it, and the cause of death was suicide.

Through the criminal suspect who had committed suicide, the task force solved several unsolved cases in one go. They were all similar to the murder of Feng Xingping's stepfather. He was stabbed in the heart and died on the spot. It was very quick and clean.

When Xu Nian said this, Guan Xia couldn't help but mutter inwardly, "Does this criminal organization have a training center? Why are the members' killing methods so consistent?"
