Chapter 166 In My Name 02 Academic Misconduct
Chapter 2
Lu Changfeng's eyelids twitched, making him feel very uneasy.
When the group arrived at the suburban resort, the city bureau's criminal police captain was waiting for them at the scene.
Several people from the serious crime squad got out of the car, and the other party also got out of the car and walked towards them.
"Are you from the General Administration's serious crime unit?"
Yue Fanglin stepped forward to negotiate: "Leader of the Serious Case Team 9, Yue Fanglin."
The other party extended his hand and introduced his home address: "Criminal Investigation Detachment of the Municipal Bureau, Ouyang Ji."
"Hello."
The two sides shook hands briefly, and Yue Fanglin asked: "What's going on inside? Has the cause of the suspect's death been determined?"
Ouyang immediately invited them in, "The forensic doctor initially determined that the cause of death was drowning."
Then Ouyang called his men over and handed the things found next to the body to Yue Fanglin: "We found this in the swimming pool where the deceased died. It is because of this that we reported it."
It is a necklace with the symbol of the Judge.
Yue Fanglin passed it to Lu Changfeng.
"I haven't seen this thing on the market yet. It should be custom-made or made by myself. Let's see if we can extract useful information from it." After reading it, Lu Changfeng returned the thing to Ouyang Ji.
Ouyang immediately took back the evidence.
Lu Changfeng asked: "Captain Ouyang, who called the police at the scene?"
Ouyang led them inside and said, "This is a resort. The waiter comes to clean every day. This morning, I called the room to ask if we needed someone to come and clean the room or to order lunch or dinner. No one answered the phone after several calls. The manager was worried that something might have gone wrong, so he used the room card to open the door and found the deceased floating in the swimming pool."
"Did he come here alone?"
Ouyang shook his head and said, "No, they held an academic seminar in the suburbs a few days ago. After the seminar, everyone left. He felt very comfortable living here, so he stayed here alone."
Several people followed Ouyang into the place where the deceased lived, a small detached villa in the resort with a private garden swimming pool and beautiful environment.
Lu Changfeng said: "It shouldn't be cheap to stay here for one night, right?"
Ouyang nodded immediately: "It's not cheap, more than 6,000 per night."
"He paid for the days he stayed here out of his own pocket?"
"yes."
Jing Jue exclaimed in surprise, "Then he is quite rich and willing to live in such a high-end resort."
"He lives alone?"
Ouyang Ji felt like a prisoner with all these questions and answers, so he said, "He lives alone. My colleagues have asked the staff here about him, and they haven't found any signs of anyone else coming in and out of him during this period. Only his students have come to see him a few times."
"So he's just here for vacation?"
Yue Fanglin: "For a resort of this level, security shouldn't be a problem. How did the murderer kill the victim? How was the on-site investigation? Did you find anything else?"
Ouyang Ji said: "The fingerprints and footprints in the room have been compared, and most of them match the employees here and Shi Minjie himself."
"Most of them?" Lu Changfeng asked, "Then who do the remaining few who haven't been matched belong to?"
"During this period, the deceased's student came to visit him. That student lives quite far away. My colleague will go to find him to extract his footprints. It may take some time, but the result will be available tonight at the latest."
Ouyang immediately led them to the place where the body of the deceased was found. The resort consisted of single-family villas with good privacy. Even the small open-air swimming pool was separated by a high wall, making it almost impossible for someone to climb into the swimming pool from the outside to commit the crime.
There are also surveillance cameras around the corners of the house.
“Have the family of the deceased been contacted?”
Ouyang said immediately: "We have contacted the deceased's wife, who is also a university professor. She rushed back as soon as she received the news. We should be able to see her soon."
"The deceased's two children are both abroad. The elder son works in a foreign research institute, and the younger daughter is currently studying for a doctorate."
Considering the current security level of the hotel and the circumstances of the deceased's death, the serious crime squad is unable to make any judgment.
Ouyang Ji: "I asked the deceased's wife, and she said that the deceased had heart disease and high blood pressure. To be honest, if we hadn't found the necklace in the swimming pool, we would have thought it was an accidental death."
There were no signs of intrusion at the scene, and the deceased showed no signs of resistance, so it certainly didn't look like murder, but the Judge's mark had not been made public, so it was impossible for it to appear here for no reason.
Ouyang immediately said sincerely: "We really don't know much about the Judge. I can only investigate using traditional criminal investigation methods. You are specifically responsible for investigating the Judge case. I hope that our Municipal Bureau and your General Bureau can work together to investigate the case as soon as possible."
Generally speaking, the judge's cases take precedence over other cases. As an organization specially established for the judge, the serious crime squad has higher jurisdiction over cases than the local police.
Ouyang has already expressed the hope that both parties will work together, which shows that the city bureau's criminal investigation team does not want to give up power in this case.
Yue Fanglin and Lu Changfeng looked at each other. They both felt that solving the case was the most important thing. They were all in the same city and the same system, so there was no need to ruin their relationship.
Then he said: "We can set up a joint task force and work together to solve the case as soon as possible."
Ouyang immediately said: "The identity of the deceased is not simple, I believe you have also understood it?"
Yue Fanglin nodded: "I already learned about it on the way here."
Ouyang immediately told them the current situation: "The body has been taken back to the Municipal Bureau, and the forensic doctor is performing an autopsy. We have also retrieved the surveillance videos, and we have also visited the employees and residents of the resort. You can look through the visit records when you go to the Municipal Bureau. Is there anything else you need?"
The Municipal Bureau has already done a very detailed job. Lu Changfeng and Yue Fanglin couldn't think of anything else that needed attention, and they shook their heads.
"Since there isn't any, why don't you come back with me to the Municipal Bureau? We can have a meeting and you can teach us some investigation methods for cases related to the Inquisitor."
"good."
Yue Fanglin drove behind Ouyang Ji.
Jing Jue said: "What does he mean by this? Is he trying to sideline us?"
Yue Fanglin said: "It's not that they are sidelined, but it's true that they don't want to let go and help us."
"Why do you still care about this?" Jing Jue curled his lips.
Lu Changfeng said: "I can understand that. They are all outstanding people who can work in the Municipal Bureau. The case they are dealing with is such a big one. Even if the leader is willing to do it, the people who are willing to help others may not be willing to do it."
After all, this kind of case requires rewards based on merit, and after hard work, there has to be some reward to motivate people.
Jing Jue understood and no longer held a grudge.
His starting point is already very high compared to many people. Most people work in the public security system for their entire lives and rarely receive honorary awards.
The two parties met in the meeting room of the Municipal Bureau's Criminal Investigation Team.
Jing Jue's age is considered young compared to the city bureau's criminal investigation team, where the average age is 30, and he is the envy of many people.
Ouyang then briefly described the case and his eyes fell on the serious crime team. "I also hope that colleagues in the serious crime team can tell us how the judges should investigate."
Yue Fanglin asked Lu Changfeng to speak, but Lu Changfeng declined. Yue Fanglin knew that Lu Changfeng also hoped that he could show more himself, so he did not shirk his responsibility: "Based on our past experience, the judges have almost never killed someone by mistake, which means that the deceased must have done something bad in some way. The judge killed the deceased but did not tell us the reason because he hoped that we, the police, could find out what the deceased had done and give justice to the victims who had been hurt by the deceased. Therefore, our investigation of the judge's case is divided into two steps. One is to track down the murderer according to the existing conditions, and the other is to investigate the bad things the deceased had done."
"Everyone who can work in the Municipal Bureau has their own skills. Their traditional criminal investigation techniques are no worse than ours. I don't need to elaborate on where to start."
Everyone nodded.
Yue Fanglin paused and said, "As for what bad things the deceased did, we have to rely on field investigations. Judging from the current situation, we plan to start with the people around the deceased, including colleagues at work, students, and relatives at home."
"We don't know what bad things the deceased has done, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to investigate." said a colleague from the Municipal Bureau.
Yue Fanglin said: "Generally, the cause of death of the deceased is often related to the bad things the deceased did. We need to find out the cause of death as soon as possible and investigate accordingly."
Ouyang immediately asked his subordinates: "The autopsy report hasn't come out yet?"
"No."
Yue Fanglin said: "There is no need to rush for a moment. We can use this time to get a deeper understanding of the deceased. Knowing ourselves and the enemy will help us win every battle."
Zhou Yu has been digging deep for information related to Shi Minjie, trying to see if he can find any clues.
Zhou Yu looked through the Weibo updates of Shi Minjie and his wife. What the two intellectuals shared on Weibo were mostly knowledge content, and there was nothing related to their private lives.
Shi Minjie’s wife is Lan Qi. She graduated from the same university as Shi Minjie with a different major. Lan Qi’s father also has many students all over the world.
The couple are shining in their respective fields, and their two children are also doing quite well abroad. Zhou Yu really cannot find relevant information through the Internet.
So I went to the forum to see what content there was about university professors.
Unexpectedly, there were quite a lot of them.
Such things as academic misconduct, abuse of power, unethical teaching practices, economic exploitation, psychological oppression, etc.
Zhou Yu suddenly thought of Shi Minjie's many scientific research achievements, and wondered if he had also done something like misappropriating other people's achievements.
Or that he also sexually harassed his own students.
However, no matter how he searched, he could not find any relevant content.
Zhou Yu synchronized the information he found with others.
Jing Jue looked at these and said, "From the current situation, I think the judges have not yet handled repeated cases of the same type. Their purpose in committing crimes is still to have a certain degree of social representativeness."
Lu Changfeng nodded in agreement: "What do you think?"
Jing Jue: "The most common form of academic misconduct is the misappropriation of students' research results. From the perspective of the whole society, there are cases of misappropriation of other people's research results in all walks of life. I think this is the biggest possibility at present, that Shi Minjie is engaged in academic misconduct."
"That makes sense." Yue Fanglin touched his chin. "This is a good idea. The cases that the judge has committed so far do not have the same social type. Let's investigate more in this direction and see if we can find out anything."
