Chapter 173: An old case is revived
Seeing the two of them like this, Bai Jing smiled. After all, no one likes to work with someone who has different values from them.
"Okay, let's start now. I'll go ask Director Shao for an office for us." After the person was chosen, Bai Jing also started to go to the office location.
After all, everything related to the case needs to be kept confidential, and not everyone has the right to view it.
Director Shao was talking on the phone with his superior when he heard a knock on the door. He was unable to respond for a while. It was not until the phone was hung up that he went to the door and opened it himself.
Director Shao was a little surprised when he saw the person standing outside, "Why are you here? Is there something wrong?" It was said that this girl was having a conflict with Huayu.
He didn't know why this girl came to him today. What he was most afraid of was that this girl would ask him to deal with Huayu.
That guy is too dishonest. He has been cheating for a whole month. He is really conscienceless.
"Director Shao." Bai Jing called out respectfully, and then explained the purpose of her visit.
"I'm here to apply for an office." She took out the files. "I've taken over some old cases and wanted to see if I could find out anything."
When Director Shao heard this, he was delighted. "That's great! The room next to mine is empty, so I'll give it to you. Go find your Aunt Zhou later and ask her to arrange it for you. If you need anything, ask your Aunt Zhou."
Shao Guodong was also very generous. He gave it to her directly. Not only that, he also asked the logistics staff to cooperate. This was a treatment that no one else in the bureau had.
Only Bai Jing has this face.
"Yes, thank you Director Shao." Bai Jing happily took the note from Director Shao and went out.
Her departure made Director Shao feel a little unreal. After all, he thought that Bai Jing would complain to him about what Lin Huayu had done.
But she didn't.
Bai Jing had no idea that Director Shao had thought so much. She was naturally angry, but she had already finished the work. What was the point of causing trouble for him now? She could only wait for an opportunity to retaliate later.
I just haven't found the opportunity.
The news that Bai Jing was reinvestigating an old case spread quickly.
When the team members learned that Xiao Jianwen and Li Siyuan had taken the lead, they all hated them and said that Bai Jing was biased and that they had not received any good news.
Bai Jing, Xiao Jianwen and Li Siyuan had to treat each of their teammates to a chicken leg, and the matter was finally settled.
What’s infuriating is that someone from Captain He’s side also wanted to get involved and even went straight to Director Wang.
This made Bai Jing feel a little unhappy.
However, Captain He also said that if you don't obey Cong's orders, you will be sent back to the team directly and there will be no possibility of cooperation next time.
Since they were all in the same bureau, it was naturally difficult for Bai Jing to refuse. Besides, Director Wang had already spoken, so what else could she say?
Just accept it.
In this way, Bai Jing began to re-investigate old cases with her four team members. The first case was a missing person case.
The missing persons are a mother and daughter.
No one in the village knew where they had gone, and no one had ever seen them leave their home.
Such a case should not have become a cold case, but the town police investigated again and again and could not find out where the mother and daughter had gone.
Not only that, they naturally suspected that she was murdered. The first suspect was the person they lived with, her husband, her father.
Unfortunately, this person had an alibi. On the day of the incident, he was drunk and fell asleep at his uncle's house. He did not return until the next day, and when he got home, he was nowhere to be seen.
In this day and age, it is naturally impossible to get detailed clues. All we have are witnesses and physical evidence, and they are not complete.
After searching for a long time, they still couldn't find out where the two had gone. Later, their family members stopped looking for them. It has been seven or eight years now, and the man has remarried and had children. If Bai Jing wants to find out, I'm afraid the first step will be difficult.
After all, they have a new life and naturally don’t want to be disturbed by previous things.
"Xiao Jing, I'm afraid we need to communicate with the village leader about this matter." After reading all the files, Xiao Jianwen said.
Bai Jing was a little puzzled, "Why?" In her understanding, everyone should cooperate with the police in investigating a case. Why did she need the captain's approval to investigate a case in the village?
It was also due to her rigid thinking. The peace in later generations made Bai Jing take it for granted and she was unable to adapt to the situation for a while. Nowadays, the honor of a village is very important and no one wants to see something embarrassing happen in their village.
After the case was not investigated that year, the relatives of the missing person never looked for them again. It is precisely because of this that they are not taken seriously. If someone reminds them every day, even the most capable cases will have one or two people keeping an eye on them.
"Well, I know a little about this. I was working in the bureau back then." Although he was not the one who went out to the team, he had heard about this from his colleagues.
"Then Brother Xiao, please tell us." Bai Jing and Li Siyuan looked at him seriously. It would be great to have someone who knew the inside story.
"Okay, then tell me what I know." Xiao Jianwen didn't waste any time and immediately sorted out the information he knew and told it one by one.
As he was explaining, a man from Captain He's side spoke up, "I know about this. The original investigator of this case was Lao Zhou, but he's been transferred."
"You knew that too?" Bai Jing was really surprised. "Brother Yu, were you also in the bureau back then?"
This Brother Yu is the person that Captain He sent in. His name is Yu Yang, and he is only 28 years old this year. Logically, he should not know about the cases that happened in 1977 or 1978.
"Well, I had just started working then. I was recommended by the commune below, and I worked with Lao Zhou for a few months." Yu Yang nodded in response, recalling the past. "Lao Zhou often went to the countryside because of this matter. Logically, it wasn't our turn to take care of this matter. It should have been managed by the commune below."
"I heard from Lao Zhou that the missing mother and daughter's family came to the town to report the case in person, which is why the matter came to our bureau."
As Yu Yang revealed some information, everyone knew that the person who reported the case was the missing mother and daughter's eldest brother, who was also the girl's uncle.
He reported the case to the police saying that his sister and niece were eaten by his brother-in-law.
It was also a year of famine, but there had been no cases of cannibalism in their area. Everyone thought that he had a bad relationship with his brother-in-law and said that on purpose.
No one took it seriously at first, but when he reported the matter to the police station, the leader at the time directly assigned a few people to investigate.
I thought it was a false accusation, but unexpectedly, the mother and daughter of that family really disappeared.
Later, a formal case was filed and an investigation began into the disappearance of the mother and daughter. However, no matter how much they investigated, they could not find out that the mother and daughter were killed by their husband and father. No victims were found, no murderers were found, and no indirect evidence was found, so the matter was gradually dropped.
After listening to the words of the two insiders, Bai Jing felt a little uneasy.
She didn't see anyone, so she couldn't ask Xiao Jin to check on the mother and daughter. It seemed that she had to go there in person. Only in this way could she find out whether the incident was related to the husband.
"Since we have no clue, let's start from the beginning and sort it out. Let's go find the person who reported the case first." After Bai Jing sorted it out, he wrote a line on his notebook and spoke to everyone.
