Chapter 92: Arrest on the spot

Chapter 92: Arrest on the spot

The first piece of body material found was a human nose.

Immediately afterwards, Wu Yongcheng contacted the Environmental Sanitation Bureau and dispatched seven or eight more fecal suction trucks.

Miao Cheng brought almost all the police officers from the Qishan Road Police Station to provide reinforcements.

It was not until 3:30 in the afternoon that the septic tank was completely drained and all salvage inspections were completed.

In the end, more than fifty body parts of varying sizes were found in the septic tank, and the city bureau's only two forensic doctors were dispatched.

They began piecing together the body on the spot for a preliminary autopsy and eventually came to a preliminary diagnosis.

The deceased was a female, approximately 1.58 to 1.62 meters tall, weighing 55 to 60 kilograms. She had been dead for more than a week, and her body parts were highly decomposed. It is estimated that a large number of small body parts have completely rotted away and cannot be salvaged.

All the body parts recovered were human tissues, including internal organs.

Apart from the phalanges of the fingers and toes, no other human skeleton parts were found.

Specific conclusions, including key information such as cause of death and identity confirmation, require further autopsy.

Although it could not be confirmed that the body parts were Zhang Hui's, the entire criminal investigation team immediately took action when the first body part was discovered.

There is only one goal, to capture Xu Jiaguang!

When Zhou Yi came before, he did not confirm whether Xu Jiaguang was at home, for fear of alerting the enemy.

It was useless for the security guard to ask.

After confirming the discovery of the body parts, Zhou Yi rushed out like a cheetah.

Wu Yongcheng was a beat slow, not because he didn't react, but because he didn't know Xu Jiaguang's house number.

Zhou Yi knocked on the door hard, but there was no response from inside the room.

Wu Yongcheng immediately ordered the door to be broken into, and then everyone entered Xu Jiaguang's house, and there was indeed no one inside.

Wu Yongcheng immediately arranged for the troops to split into two groups, and Qiao Jiali stayed behind to be responsible for the on-site investigation.

Chen Yan led people to Xu Xinxin's school, Jiang Biao led people to search nearby roads, and Wu Yongcheng and Zhou Yi drove to the auto repair shop where Xu Jiaguang worked.

Wu Yongcheng ordered: "If you see Xu Jiaguang, arrest him on the spot!"

"Yes!" everyone answered in unison.

On the way, Wu Yongcheng said, "Zhou Yi, I'm afraid your vacation will have to be canceled temporarily. Are you feeling well?"

"Don't worry, Captain Wu, I will definitely not fall behind."

Although the auto repair shop where Xu Jiaguang works is not a state-owned enterprise, it is an enterprise with local support, so it is not small in scale.

In order to avoid alerting the enemy, Wu Yongcheng and Zhou Yi did not make a big fuss, but first found the security department of the auto repair shop.

After confirming that Xu Jiaguang was in the factory today, he went to the factory to find Xu Jiaguang accompanied by the security officer.

On the way, the staff who didn't know their true intentions chatted with them, lamenting that Lao Xu was such a good man, but why his wife disappeared inexplicably, causing him to miss work for several days.

"Has Xu Jiaguang behaved abnormally recently?" Wu Yongcheng asked casually as he walked around the factory, as the area was quite large.

The security officer didn't realize the tone was off, and continued, "Old Xu's been in much better spirits these past couple of days. He even volunteered to stay overtime the night before yesterday, saying he wanted to catch up on work he'd missed. We tried to persuade him to put work aside and focus on family matters, but he wouldn't listen. He's just too serious and responsible."

"It's in the factory building in front." The secretary pointed ahead and said.

As soon as he finished speaking, a man walked out of the factory.

"You see, if you speak of the devil, he will appear."

Just as the clerk was about to call for help with a smile, Zhou Yi rushed out from behind him.

Wu Yongcheng reacted quickly this time and rushed over immediately.

But Xu Jiaguang also noticed the actions of the two men and turned around and ran away without hesitation.

In the blink of an eye, the three of them ran a long distance away, leaving only the clerk standing there in confusion, not yet realizing what was going on.

Suddenly, he seemed to understand something and slapped his thigh: "Fuck!"

Over there, Zhou Yi and Wu Yongcheng were chasing Xu Jiaguang closely, but the old guy ran very fast, and relying on the geographical advantage, he quickly ran out of the auto repair shop in a circle, and gradually widened the distance between them.

Especially Zhou Yi, although he has great explosive power, he had just suffered a knife wound in the abdomen not long ago. The intense exercise soon caused pain in the wound, affecting his movements.

Wu Yongcheng immediately saw Zhou Yi's situation and shouted as he ran, "Don't chase me, leave this kid to me."

Zhou Yi stopped and covered the wound on his stomach, feeling something sticky on his hands.

I raised my hand and saw blood, but not much.

His first reaction was, it’s over, I’m going to get scolded by my mother again when I get home.

Just as I took a breath, I suddenly heard the sound of a motorcycle behind me.

When I turned around, I saw that it was the security officer from the auto repair shop.

"Officer Zhou, get in the car." The officer stopped in front of him and said.

Zhou Yi ignored the bleeding wound and took a step forward.

The clerk turned the accelerator and the motorcycle rushed out.

In the blink of an eye, he caught up with Wu Yongcheng. Wu Yongcheng, who was running wildly with gritted teeth, glanced inadvertently and saw Zhou Yi. His face was obviously stunned.

"You kid..."

Zhou Yi only heard three words, because the motorcycle had caught up with Xu Jiaguang who was trying to escape.

"Lao Xu, it's never too late to mend your ways," the clerk shouted.

His shout immediately attracted Xu Jiaguang's attention, causing his running rhythm to become noticeably disrupted.

Zhou Yi seized the opportunity, regardless of the danger, jumped off the motorcycle and knocked him to the ground.

But the huge inertia caused both of them to roll forward several times. Xu Jiaguang, who was dizzy from the fall, struggled to get up and continue running, but Wu Yongcheng, who came from behind, pushed him to the ground.

"Xu Jiaguang, you are suspected of murdering your wife Zhang Hui. You are now under arrest according to law!"

"Let me go! Let me go!" Xu Jiaguang yelled at the top of his lungs.

But what responded to him were cold handcuffs.

When Xu Jiaguang was taken to the Santana of the Third Brigade, the security officer of the auto repair shop also accompanied him. Firstly, it was because of his help that Xu Jiaguang was captured. Secondly, the subsequent investigation work would definitely involve the auto repair shop, so he was taken back first to take a statement, which would also facilitate the subsequent work.

"Um, what's your name? Sorry, I forgot." Wu Yongcheng was driving and sitting in the front seat. He looked in the rearview mirror and asked.

"Zhang Lechao." He said with a smile. This time he helped the criminal police catch someone, which would be enough for him to brag about for half a year when he returned. Maybe he could even get a promotion.

"Oh yes, Zhang Lechao, thank you for your help."

"It's what I should do."

There were three people sitting in the back row, Zhou Yi and Zhang Lechao on each side, sandwiching the handcuffed Xu Jiaguang in the middle.

Wu Yongcheng glanced at Zhou Yi and asked with concern: "Zhou Yi, how is your wound?"

"It's okay, just a little bleeding. It's nothing serious. We'll just disinfect it later. Captain Wu, hurry back to the bureau. I can't wait to interrogate this guy."

Wu Yongcheng glanced at Xu Jiaguang in the rearview mirror. His expression was unusually calm.
