Let's take a rest first and we'll talk about it tomorrow. The case has been going on for so long, and we don't need another day to investigate. It's impossible to start investigating in the middle of the night.

Bai Song called Sun Jie and confirmed that there was nothing serious. He followed Captain Zhou back to the team and fell into a deep sleep.

For a gang-related case, the real investigation begins from the moment the perpetrators are caught by the police.

Last night, Bai Song and others had a good sleep, but more than a dozen police officers from Xinzhuang Police Station stayed up all night.

From the crime to the arrest of the person is only the beginning of the case. How to successfully arrest the suspect, enter the procuratorate procedure, and then continuously add evidence and materials, transfer it to the public prosecution department of the procuratorate, and then enter the court litigation procedure and sentence the suspect, is the end of a case.

Many people say that the police are tired, and this is mainly reflected in this aspect.

In the gang fight case last night, 12 suspects were summoned for criminal detention. The summons lasted only 24 hours. Within this period, all 12 suspects must be sent to the detention center for criminal detention, otherwise it would be considered a violation of the law. Criminal detention cannot be done with just a transcript. The procedures and evidence required can also fill a thick volume.

Early in the morning, the family of "Second Brother" went to the police station and signed. "Second Brother"'s family conditions are actually not bad, but he has watched too many movies from certain places since he was a child, and he worships the big brothers in society. He is idle all day long, and this time he finally sent himself to the police station. And he beat the police. When the family of "Second Brother" heard about this, they almost knelt down to the police. After that, the family told the police that they were willing to bear all the medical expenses, compensate for the losses and various expenses, and hoped to reach a settlement.

Some relatively minor public security cases, such as fighting, insults, and intentional damage to property, can be mediated. Once the two parties reach an agreement through mediation, the public security organs will not punish the offender. However, public security cases such as theft, fraud, gambling, prostitution, and all criminal cases cannot be mediated.

The reason is simple. You are not only harming the victim, but also damaging the social order and morality.

However, in the case of Bai Song, a settlement can be reached, that is, forgiveness. Once Bai Song and the other four people express forgiveness for the harmful behavior of "Second Brother" and others, then this letter of forgiveness is likely to affect the compulsory measures and final judgment of the procuratorate and the court. For example, the arrest measure is changed to bail pending trial, and the actual sentence is changed to suspended sentence.

In a nutshell, Bai Song and others can negotiate money with the other party's family.

…

Let’s put this matter aside for now. Most of the members of the task force attended the morning meeting.

Regarding the previous case of smuggling and illegal trading of wild animals, several police officers are still working on the case with the customs and the Forestry Bureau, and the work has not been completely completed. The rest of the people are all here.

The boy in the portrait has an ordinary appearance and is very thin. According to the portrait and the description of the man who sells the scraps, the boy is about 20 years old, about 1.8 meters tall, and weighs about 120 kilograms. He has no obvious facial features and is said to look a little tired.

In addition, the boy's student ID card is red. If it is indeed a university in Tianhua City, then it can be checked.

At noon, the man was found. The team led by Captain Ma personally found the man at Tianhua University of Media in Jiuhe District.

At this time, Bai Song was conducting an investigation at a university with Captain Zhou and others. After receiving the news from the detachment, they quickly returned to the team.

On the way, Bai Song couldn't help but admire the speed of Ma Zhituan and others...

When Bai Song and others returned to the team, the suspected man, the MPV business car, and two iron barrels all appeared in the Criminal Investigation Detachment. Captain Ma was in the conference room with a slightly gloomy expression.

Yes, two buckets.

One of the two iron barrels had been cut open, and the cut surface was very smooth. Team Ma was almost certain that this was done by a water jet cutter. They had not come across many such cases before, but having come across this case several times, they could basically tell the difference just by looking at the cut.

This iron barrel had been cut on three sides and then opened. The whole thing looked like an opened shell. There were obvious signs of charcoal burns on the inner wall of the barrel. Along with the barrel, there were also some barbecue grills and other things. It seemed that they had not been used for some time.

The other iron bucket was not opened. According to the man, he was planning to have a big party, but not many people came later, so one iron bucket was enough, so he did not move the iron bucket for the time being.

Ma's detachment had handled too many cases. The boy's name was Zhang Zuo. After a simple questioning, Ma's detachment had already reduced the boy's suspicion of murder by half. Zhang Zuo, this student, was obviously a playboy. He had unclear relationships with two or three girls at school, and his hotel check-in records could print several A4 sheets of paper.

Zhang Zuo's parents are both businessmen with a good family background, but they are not locals. His parents were afraid that Zhang Zuo would pick up girls everywhere at school, so they did not buy him a sports car or luxury car, but a mid-range MPV. However, it seems that this does not affect the second-generation rich's ability to pick up girls...

How many college students in 2011 can afford a car worth more than 200,000 yuan?

This MPV, with the rear seats folded down, can only accommodate two iron buckets at most. Therefore, there should be no problem with what Zhao Guofeng said.

Zhang Zuo is now being questioned. After Bai Song and others returned to the team, Ma Detachment was discussing these matters with everyone in the conference room. On the way to bring Zhang Zuo back, Ma Detachment had already understood the basic situation.

The cutting of this iron barrel was indeed done by a water jet cutting machine, and the place of cutting was the jade processing factory where Wang Qianyi had a stake. Zhang Zuo said that his father had business dealings with Wang Qianyi, and when he came to Tianhua City to study, his father had asked Wang Qianyi to take good care of him.

Zhang Zuo was a big spender and often went to Wang Qianyi's shop to buy jade and jadeite for girls, so he was very familiar with Wang Qianyi and the people in the processing factory. The prices of jadeite and other things were not transparent, and Zhang Zuo could get very low prices from Wang Qianyi. When he went out, he was told that the goods were worth thousands or tens of thousands, which was very attractive.

What does this mean? Is Wang Qianyi a suspect?

Although Wang Qianyi is currently in custody, there is no clear evidence pointing to him. If he hadn't been tied up in another case, he would have been released by now. But everyone seems to have a target: Wang Qianyi must have hidden a lot of things from the police, and he is a major suspect!

As for Zhang Zuo, there is no clue or evidence to detain him. He will be released after a detailed questioning. However, the iron barrel is temporarily confiscated. Regarding this, Zhang Zuo said frankly that if the police need it, he will give it to the police directly...

Bai Song has been frowning since he returned to the team.
