Strange Case (XIV)
Shen Kuo was held in solitary confinement as a serious criminal. In view of his special abilities, Zhang Changming issued an order prohibiting anyone from visiting or talking to him. During the escort, he was even blindfolded.
To ensure that everything went smoothly, Shentu Zan and his teacher were specially invited to the trial.
The moment Shen Kuo saw the teacher, he burst into tears and confessed to his crime.
The teacher was extremely disappointed with him and still waited until the trial was over before leaving. He was very sad. When he first started teaching Shen Kuo, he was really ecstatic. There was finally hope in the field of hypnosis and he could finally proceed with the project he was working on. But who knew that he would go astray.
Without any communication, Shen Kuo knew what the teacher was thinking. After all, what he was best at was studying other people's psychology. He was like an abandoned child, completely lifeless. Even if he wanted to repent, it was impossible. His hands were stained with blood, and he didn't have much time left on earth.
Shen Kuo met Shen Tuzhan in prison and entrusted all his research topics to him, hoping that he could continue.
Shen Tuzhan did not accept it. He gave the project to the teacher. He had his own project and did not need to use other people's.
…
This major case manipulated by a master of hypnosis caused a sensation in the industry, became a typical case, was taken to various departments for study, and was included in textbooks.
Everyone who heard about the case admired Gu Fang. If it were someone else, they would probably treat the three cases as independent cases and would not dig deep into the truth behind the cases. If that were the case, the murderer would go unpunished and there would be more than three victims.
Gu Fang became famous in one battle. In the entire system, everyone who mentioned him would give a thumbs up.
Zhang Changming was once again singled out for praise by the provincial department leaders. First, it was Shen Xingyan who advanced the entire DNA technology a great deal, and now it was Gu Fang who solved a strange case. He can be said to have stole the limelight.
At the meeting, other people at the same level as Zhang Changming were a little jealous. "When it was only Gu Fang, we could still compete with you. After all, genius in solving cases is hard to come by. Now you have two great generals, one civil and one military. Your case-solving rate has skyrocketed. We can't catch up even if we try our best."
"Not only has the rate of solving cases increased, but the time it takes to solve a case has also been shortened. If this continues, none of us will survive."
One of them complained to Zhao Conggang, "Director Zhao, we also need talents."
Deputy Director Zhao Conggang said: "If you need talents, go find them and train them yourself. Why ask me for such people?"
"The credit can't be taken by Lao Zhang alone, we should share some of it with us."
"If you solve a major case, I will still give you the credit."
"Director Zhao, you are making things difficult for us."
Zhang Changming kept smiling, but he shouldn't show off too much at this time, because the first bird to stick its head out will be shot at.
Zhao Conggang didn't seem to intend to let him go. "Changming, tell me, what do you want?"
"All are subject to the leadership's arrangements."
Zhao Cong just unscrewed the lid of the thermos, took a sip, and then slowly screwed it back on. "Well, considering Gu Fang's outstanding performance in this case, he will be awarded a second-class individual merit, so that he doesn't have to ask me for more when the award is presented. As for the Second Detachment, they will be awarded a third-class collective merit."
Although there was some complaint in Zhao Conggang's words, there was no trace of it in his tone. When he mentioned Gu Fang, he even seemed a little happy.
Zhang Changming was secretly shocked. Gu Fang, this brat, was talking nonsense in front of Director Zhao again, but he was smiling. "I would like to thank the leader on behalf of Gu Fang. He is young and doesn't know how to speak. Don't take what he said to heart. I will teach him a lesson later."
Zhao Conggang waved his hand, "Don't make a big deal out of such a small matter. I like this young man very much. He has a good brain and a bright future."
This time, Zhao Changming was not shocked but frightened. If someone praised him for his bright future in front of so many people and this was heard by someone with ulterior motives, Gu Fang's future would be difficult. He looked embarrassed and said, "Director Zhao, please stop praising him. His tail is already up to the sky now. How can you praise him any more?"
Zhao Conggang laughed.
The others clenched their fists secretly as they listened to the conversation between Zhang Changming and Zhao Conggang. They just won the third-class collective merit before the New Year, and less than half a year later, they won the second-class individual merit and the third-class collective merit. Even if they make rockets, they are not as fast as them.
Zhao Conggang added: "Gu Fang is young and promising. This case has shown his outstanding investigative ability. After he has gained experience for another year or so, he can be transferred to the headquarters."
Zhang Changming was stunned. "Will he be too young to go to the headquarters?"
"We need young blood, and our investigative thinking needs to change. Take this case for example. If it was an old detective, would he have thought of hypnosis?"
Others whispered, indeed, no one would think of that thing, hypnosis? It all sounds mysterious.
Zhang Changming's old face turned red. "The leader is right. I reflect on myself. When the case first happened, I did think Xiao Gu was talking nonsense. Fortunately, I didn't force him to close the case." Zhang Changming was also a little scared. Fortunately, he gave Gu a week's time.
Zhao Conggang nodded, "Changming does a very good job in this regard. You should learn from him. For things that you are not sure about, you should boldly let go and let capable people below do it. Don't obstruct things without understanding them, and then blame others when things don't get done." Zhao Conggang expanded on this matter and gave a long speech.
A bunch of low-ranking officials were all listening to their leader's lecture with great energy, praising him from time to time and giving some applause. A meeting is very exhausting.
Zhang Changming brought the good news to the team, and the entire Second Detachment was filled with a festive atmosphere. After all, along with the medal came a bonus, a double reward of both spiritual and material, who wouldn't like that?
After a team cracked several child trafficking cases, they disappeared. Seeing that the Second Detachment had won the third-class collective merit again, he was so anxious that his face turned green. Unfortunately, Zhou Chengzhou is always elusive and the number of times we have seen him is very few.
Guan Shu and Deng Yu ran to Zhang Changming's office and asked for a reliable detachment leader.
When Zhang Changming learned that Zhou Chengzhou was so careless about his work, he called him over and gave him a good scolding.
Zhou Chengzhou also complained, "As a deputy director, I have nothing to do but investigate cases all day long. I don't have that much free time. It's already good enough that I can solve a child trafficking case."
Zhang Changming was so angry that he laughed. "You haven't even caught the main suspect, and you still have the nerve to say that you have solved the case. You are the deputy director, and you have your own work to do, but you can't neglect the work of the first team. I know it's unfair for you to take over as the captain of the first team. I have already applied for it, and someone will be transferred in the next few days."
Zhou Chengzhou was delighted when he heard this. "Why didn't you tell me earlier? I'll go and sort out the work and do the handover right away."
Zhang Changming waved his hands helplessly and told him to leave quickly, out of sight, out of mind.
…
Lingqi has also made significant progress. After investigating Yao Yong's social relations and visiting his former employer, it was discovered that his so-called work on the construction site was just a cover and he was actually related to an underground organization.
This underground organization engages in illegal activities that generate huge profits by trafficking in human organs.
Qiao Laoliu and several other villagers were deceived by Yao Yong to come to Jing City. They first worked as laborers on a construction site, and then they were secretly taken to have blood tests and organ matching. If the matching was successful, they were promised a large sum of money and lured into selling their organs and signing a confidentiality agreement.
Qiao Laoliu is one of them, and his kidney was successfully matched. Yao Yong fooled him, saying that people have two kidneys, and selling one is just like a normal person. The other party paid a high price. With this money, he no longer had to carry bricks on the construction site and could return to his hometown to live a peaceful and stable life.
Qiao Laoliu was moved by what he said and agreed to sell his kidney and signed the agreement. However, during the operation, an accident occurred and the person died.
The person in charge of the operation removed all his organs based on the principle of making the best use of resources, and sold them for a good price. Yao Yong also received a large sum of money.
Poor Qiao Laoliu, he became a desperate ghost without realizing it.
According to the information provided by Yao Yong, Ling Qi only found people who were in charge of external lines like Yao Yong back then, and there was no clue about the main leader.
Ling Qi wrote a report on the case and handed it in. There was only one sentence on it: the case must be solved thoroughly.
This case spans a long period of time and space, so it is not easy to solve it.
Ling Qi was so overwhelmed that he drove for several hours to Nanfu and caught Gu Fang who was about to get off work. He complained bitterly, "I thought it was just a simple old case, but I didn't expect it to involve so many people. I have a feeling that this case will become my lifelong regret."
Gu Fang advised him, "Don't be so pessimistic, think positively."
"I'm not pessimistic. Apart from the outside players, Yao Yong would rather take all the blame than reveal the names of other people. I guess the person behind this must be someone extraordinary."
“Is this underground organ trafficking organization still going on?”
"Well, otherwise I wouldn't have touched it."
"No one was caught?"
Ling Qi shook his head. "When I took people there, the building was empty. There was nothing but a cold operating table."
Gu Fang pondered, "I'm afraid someone leaked the news."
"Those who know the news are all insiders." Ling Qi smiled bitterly, "I really don't want to doubt my comrades who fought side by side, but I can't help it."
Gu Fang understood this feeling, just like Zhai Shibang back then, "Are there any suspects?"
Although Ling Qi looks big and strong, he is thoughtful and has already suspected someone. He sighed, "I really don't want it to be him. Gu Fang, I suddenly feel very sad. I have been a criminal police for so many years, but I can't find anyone I can trust. I have to run to you."
"You're welcome to come anytime. I'll help you with anything you can do with the case."
Ling Qi pinched his shoulders, "No wonder Mingxuan has been thinking about you all the time. I feel at ease when I am around you, let alone her."
Gu Fang glared at him unhappily, "Why did you end up talking about the case and bring it up with her?"
"You have no interest in her at all?"
"I just treat her as a sister."
"Mingxuan is indeed very strong sometimes, but she has a good family background. Maybe, no, she will definitely be able to help you in the future."
"I don't need it. I'm a man. I will fight for what I want."
"But some things cannot be obtained by fighting, especially in the career path."
"If I wanted to get promoted or make money, I wouldn't be a criminal police officer anymore."
"Okay! I like your personality, but it's a pity that you can't drink." He picked up the paper cup on the desk, "I'll toast you with water instead of wine."
Gu Fang picked up the water cup and clinked it with his, "Be careful when you get to Beijing. Safety comes first. If you lose your life, you won't be able to investigate any case."
"I know what's going on... Mingxuan came with me, you really don't want to see her?"
Gu Fang punched him, "Why are you mentioning her again?"
Ling Qi chuckled, "Why don't we go find Medical Examiner Shen? At this hour, I wonder if she's still in the medical examiner's office."
Gu Fang tapped his head from a distance and said, "Don't worry about our medical examiner. She can't possibly go to Beijing."
Ling Qi raised his eyebrow, "Oh, you're protecting me."
"She is the treasure of the Municipal Bureau. Believe it or not, Lao Zhang will fight you to the death."
"Haha, I don't care about him."
Gu Fang leaned back in his office chair, his eyes threatening, "Ling Qi, I welcome you to Nanfu, but you can't poach people."
Ling Qi did not show any weakness and looked back at him, "Are you worried that no one will walk your dog for you?"
Gu Fang: ...
"right."
Ling Qi laughed, "Gu Fang, it's you."
