Opening the files of the new era, looking at the whole country, it is simply as vast as the sea. With a population of 1.4 billion, even if only one in a thousand is a bad person, the crimes committed are innumerable. Among so many cases, there are a few cases that have gone through decades without any clear answers, and a large amount of manpower and material resources have been invested to this day. Here we have to mention the "Nanjing University" dismemberment case that shocked China and the world.

Nancheng University, a case in 1996. We have no intention of exploiting the death of the deceased, but every police academy student and every police officer has heard of this case and wants to bring the murderer to justice.

Bai Yulong was involved in this case.

The case had a huge impact and was widely reported. It can be said to be the worst case in Nancheng over the years. The victim was cut into 2,000 pieces and then cooked and scattered. The method was extremely cruel and much more serious than the "10.22" special case investigated by Bai Song and others.

At that time, Bai Yulong, who was the captain of the criminal investigation team and was dubbed an "expert in handling cases", had been working for nearly ten years. He was young, energetic and full of spirit. He had been used as a backbone force to support the investigation of this case across provinces.

Perhaps it was due to technical reasons, or perhaps there were too few clues. Almost all the people involved were investigated several times, and many were detained and released. But in the end, 15 years had passed by 2011, and the murderer was still at large, which is a pity.

After several months of hard work, Bai Yulong and his team still failed to solve the case, and the supporting personnel withdrew one after another. However, to this day, the Nancheng Public Security Bureau is still investigating the case, but there is no news yet.

Bai Yulong knew the whole story of the case very well, but some things were still confidential, so he could not explain them clearly to his son. However, the failure of the case directly led to a great setback in his self-confidence. The more confident and capable a person is, the more he will feel bad when he suffers a huge blow in his field of expertise.

"Dad, you were involved in this case? Oh my God, you didn't tell me!" Bai Song was a little shocked. This case was too famous. When he was in college, the teacher showed some slides of photos in class. Some students vomited when they saw the photos. As you can imagine, it was like hell on earth!

"No one was caught, so what's there to talk about?" Bai Yulong snorted. Later, something happened to him and he left the criminal police force. It was not unrelated to the failure of the "1.19" dismemberment case in Nancheng.

"That's also very powerful. Dad, tell me, how powerful is this murderer?" Bai Song said curiously.

"That's not necessarily true. I think the murderer is most likely an ordinary person." Bai Yulong warned, "Remember, don't underestimate anyone, even a harmless child. Don't get discouraged easily."

"Dad, don't worry." Bai Song patted his chest and assured.

…

Bai Song talked to his father on the phone for a while, and he felt more at ease. Police are a group of people with professional qualities. In short, they are still human. Unless they have the superpowers in novels, handling cases is a process of careful research and bold verification.

Knowing all these things, Bai Song called Xu Fang back and explained the situation. Xu Fang was very happy and it seemed that she shared the same view.

"Officer, you seem to be very busy lately." Xu Fang said.

"Yeah, I'm busy. I can't help it. It's work."

"Well, a few days ago, I went to your office and the people there said that you were seconded. Is there some big case?" Xu Fang was curious for some reason.

"Keep it a secret, don't ask, thank you." Bai Song suddenly thought of something: "Why did you go to the police station?" In Bai Song's impression, this Xu Fang was a bit of a homebody. What did he have to do with the police station?

"Okay, okay, it must be a big case. If there are any non-confidential cases in the future, remember to tell me about them. I am very interested in them." Although Xu Fang is not very courageous, he has a strong interest in various cases. He wanted to keep a pangolin as a pet, which is not an idea that ordinary people would have. Xu Fang said: "Go to the police station and sign the case filing notice. The cute little pangolin you took away last time, a handsome policeman in your station told me that a case has been filed for investigation. There is no victim in this case, but I am the person who reported the case, so the case was filed and I will be open about it."

"A case has been filed? What's the case?" Bai Song wondered why he didn't know that this case had been filed.

"It seems to be illegal trading of wild animals." Xu Fang said, "I heard that a police officer from your station went to southern Xinjiang Province some time ago and encountered a gang of wild animal poachers there. As a result, the testimony of this little pangolin matched that of a poacher there, so a case was opened for investigation."

Bai Song thought, maybe it was the man that Sun Yi and his companions caught when he first went to the village who confessed himself? Did Ma Zhiyuan really make him want to reform?

Isn’t this too coincidental???

Many things, when they are coincidental to a certain extent, become problematic...

After chatting with Xu Fang for a few words, Xu Fang said thank you and said he would treat Bai Song to a meal, then hung up the phone.

Bai Song took the car keys and walked into the building. When he reached the meeting room, he suddenly remembered where he had seen the manager of the gold shop.

The pangolin case, surveillance video.

Yes, that's him. The gold shop manager is a resident of Aihe Garden!

This is a problem. Aihe Garden is a nice house within the jurisdiction of Jiuheqiao Police Station, but it is considered very ordinary in Jiuhe District and even worse in Tianhua City. Would someone who can afford Vacheron Constantin live in Aihe Garden?

There is another question: how much can a manager of a gold shop earn even if he owns a small stake in the shop?

The crime of having a huge amount of property of unknown origin is a crime that can only be used to punish state employees. It cannot be used to punish the owner of a gold shop, no matter how much money he has. Bai Song knew this, so he thought about it and decided to pay attention to this person.

Back in the dormitory, Sun Jie was packing his things.

"What are you doing? Do you need my help?" Bai Song asked.

"No need. I don't have much to bring here. Just a backpack. I can pack it myself." Sun Jie said.

"What do you mean, Brother Jie? Are you leaving?" Bai Song was a little confused.

"Yes, the task force is going to lay off some staff, and I'm one of those being laid off, so of course I have to leave." Sun Jie said indifferently.

"Layoffs? Why lay you off? Brother Sun, I think you are very capable and professional." Bai Song was very puzzled: "Was it Captain Ma who let you go? Or was it those forensic doctors from the Municipal Bureau?"
