Chapter 303 Golden Treasure
Zhou Yi didn't react at the time. After a few seconds, he suddenly stood up.
It was like sitting up in shock from a dying illness.
But at this time, the old couple had already got off the train.
The old man's surname is Huang. They came to look for their son. The person who picked them up was most likely their son, named Jinbao.
Gold treasure!
The ruthless bandit who killed many people in his previous life, including Chen Yan? !
Zhang Xianglan was startled by him and asked quickly, "Officer Zhou, are you okay?"
Zhou Yi quickly leaned over the window and looked out. There were three big words hanging above the platform: Sushan Station.
Susan City.
That’s right, before Huang Jinbao turned into a gangster, he worked in an electric heating plant in Sushan City.
At this time, he was just an ordinary worker.
It was exactly one year since he committed his first murder.
In response to Zhang Xianglan's question, Zhou Yi shook his head slightly, then slowly sat down.
Huang Jinbao is not a criminal yet, so what’s the point even if I go to find the old couple now.
Moreover, Huang Jinbao's first murder and robbery was not in Sushan, but in the provincial capital.
If I want to stop this major gangster case, I must have a legitimate reason to appear in the provincial capital at least by April next year!
Soon, someone else came up and filled the empty seat.
There were two young girls sitting in the seats opposite.
Zhou Yi crossed his arms over his chest, staring at the scenery that was getting farther and farther away outside the car window, but all he could think about was the case files of the Huang Jinbao case.
Compared to Long Zhiqiang, Huang Jinbao is much harder to catch.
Because Long Zhiqiang was a gang member, and their modus operandi was to extort money through kidnapping, the more people there were, the bigger the target would be. If one person was arrested, others might be implicated, and it would take a process from kidnapping to ransom delivery.
The reason why Long Zhiqiang's gang has not been caught and the entire series of cases spans such a long period of time is because the main culprit Long Zhiqiang is cunning and cautious enough.
They roam around the country and break down into small groups when not committing crimes.
But Huang Jinbao is different. He was alone from beginning to end, and his method of committing crimes was simple and crude, which was robbery.
But unlike ordinary robberies, Huang Jinbao's robbery was extremely clean and efficient. He simply shot and killed the victim, stole the property, and walked away. The whole process took less than a minute.
This is also the reason why the Huang Jinbao case caused huge social panic. It is equivalent to you walking on the road, and suddenly someone passes by you. Without any nonsense, he shoots you to death, robs your money, and runs away.
No matter how terrifying a kidnapping case is, it has a clear target. The kidnappers led by Long Zhiqiang may not pose as much of a threat to ordinary people as human traffickers.
But this kind of ruthless robber is different, everyone can be a victim.
Moreover, because Huang Jinbao was a single person, he was very flexible in his movements. In addition, he would make disguises in advance before each crime, so his trace could not be found at all.
In the Huang Jinbao case, the search for Huang Jinbao took more than two months, and the police force involved was far greater than the city lockdown this time.
But even so, Huang Jinbao was able to escape from the encirclement, traveled to many places in the province, and finally arrived in Hongcheng quietly.
At that time, Hongcheng was also under martial law, and all police forces took turns patrolling 24 hours a day.
Chen Yan became suspicious of Huang Jinbao during patrol, but Huang Jinbao was extremely alert. Before Chen Yan could make any move, he drew his gun without hesitation and fired several shots.
At that time, Chen Yan and Huang Jinbao were at a crossroads in the city.
There happened to be a middle school nearby, and the incident happened in the evening when students were getting out of school.
In the subsequent case file analysis, the investigators' analysis and judgment of the situation at the time was that Chen Yan was cautious in order to protect the safety of the people around him and did not draw his gun and shoot immediately.
But Huang Jinbao had no scruples at all. He fired a total of six shots and then escaped.
Chen Yan pushed the student next to him away, resulting in himself being shot three times. The student was also shot, but fortunately the student was not in danger of death in the end.
Chen Yan was shot three times, one of which pierced the carotid artery in his neck, making him fatal.
He didn't bother to cover the bleeding wound. He used up his remaining strength, held the gun with both hands, and fired the last shot of his life.
The bullet passed through the frightened and confused crowd and hit Huang Jinbao's left thigh accurately.
It was this shot before his death that directly caused Huang Jinbao's subsequent movements to be impaired, making him unable to escape the encirclement and eventually captured.
In his previous life, in 1998, Chen Yan died heroically at the age of 26.
He was the number one hero in the case of the major gangster Huang Jinbao and was awarded the title of martyr.
The police number he inherited from his father was sealed forever.
"Are you okay?" Suddenly, the young girl opposite handed over a tissue.
Zhou Yi came back to his senses and found that there was a tear mark at the corner of his eye.
He took the tissue, said thank you, and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.
Outside the car window, the sky gradually darkened, and the green mountains and trees slowly turned into black shadows of varying distances.
As the conductor's announcement sounded, the next station to arrive was Anyuan Station.
Zhou Yi asked Zhang Xianglan to check her luggage, especially her wallet and ID, and then prepared to get off the bus.
Before leaving, he said hello to the girl who had just handed him the tissue.
As soon as he got off the train, Zhou Yi took a deep breath. Although the windows of the green train could be opened, the population density in the carriage was too high, and there was an indescribable smell.
There is a faint smell of moisture in the air.
"Ms. Zhang, it's probably going to rain soon. Let's go find a hotel near the Municipal Bureau and stay there first. We can go back to the Municipal Bureau tomorrow to look for someone."
The two left the train station and Zhou Yi took a taxi.
Not long after I got on the bus, it started to rain heavily. The raindrops as big as beans hit the window glass, making a rattling sound.
The driver kept cursing in the local dialect, and then complained in Mandarin about the bad weather, the difficult road, the distance being too close, etc.
Zhou Yi knew what the driver was hinting at. He just wanted to raise the price and ask for more fare.
But he would not indulge the other party. He would ignore it completely and pretend not to hear it.
Zhang Xianglan felt a little restless, always feeling as if she had done something wrong and owed the driver.
Seeing Zhou Yi ignoring him, the driver rolled his eyes, looked at the two of them in the rearview mirror and said, "Boss, are you traveling to Anyuan? Are you a couple? This is quite new. I see a lot of old husbands and young wives, but it's rare to see an old wife and a young husband."
These words, coupled with the driver's malicious and teasing tone, were obviously meant to disgust them.
Zhou Yi immediately flashed his police ID and said coldly, "You're so good at predicting things. Come back to the Public Security Bureau with me later and I'll figure out which law you violated with what you just said, okay?"
When the driver saw the ID, he was shocked and quickly said that he was just joking and talking nonsense.
Zhou Yi put away his ID and said coldly, "Drive carefully and watch the road."
"Okay, okay." The driver nodded repeatedly and didn't dare to say another word.
When they arrived at the hotel, the two got out of the car, and the driver stepped on the accelerator without looking back and disappeared into the rain.
"Officer Zhou, why is this person like this? He has such a dirty mouth." Zhang Xianglan said.
"It's normal. This is how the world is. There are good people and bad people."
"Officer Zhou, you are a good person." Zhang Xianglan said gratefully.
Zhou Yibao smiled and didn't answer, but he was saying in his heart: But I don't know whether your husband Li Youqiang is a good person or a bad person.
After Zhou Yi returned to his room, he called his parents to report that he was safe.
Then he called Wu Yongcheng again.
"Captain Wu, I'm in Anyuan now. I'll go to the Anyuan Municipal Bureau to see Captain Pan tomorrow."
"Okay, you've worked hard. But your nickname of "Human Radar" is well-deserved. You even helped the railway bust a theft gang by taking a train. The railway leaders came to praise you."
"That's not my fault. They provoked me. If we don't arrest them, it will make us Hongcheng police seem too easy to bully."
"Yes, they can only blame their bad luck for meeting you."
"Captain Wu, I have a question for you."
"What?"
"Which leader gave me the nickname Human Radar?"
Wu Yongcheng rolled his eyes and said without hesitation, "Thank you, Director Xie, thank you for praising you so much."
"So it's Director Xie. I'll definitely thank Director Xie in person if I get the chance."
"Tsk tsk tsk, how dare you bother the director with something like this?"
Zhou Yi smiled. Wu Yongcheng's acting was indeed inconsistent. "By the way, Captain Wu, did you guys make any progress today?"
When Wu Yongcheng heard him ask this, he immediately restrained his expression and said seriously, "It's a good opportunity to tell you about the investigation status of the three clues."
"We've already checked the train and long-distance bus stations, and the staff don't have any impression of Daqing. We've now issued a joint investigation notice to all cities. We're especially focusing on remote rural areas, and have asked local police stations to keep an eye out for any suspicious outsiders."
When it comes to situations like suspects escaping, both urban and rural areas have obvious advantages and disadvantages.
There are many people and police officers in cities, so the risk of exposure is naturally greater.
But precisely because there are so many people, suspects with strong anti-reconnaissance awareness can more easily take advantage of the situation, and their escape is also much more convenient.
Rural areas are vast and sparsely populated, so the frequency and scope of police patrols are limited. However, precisely because there are so few people, there is a disadvantage: any outsider who comes is particularly noticeable.
And unless you have your own transportation, escaping is difficult.
Zhou Yi and Lu Zhengfeng once caught a stupid thief, who escaped to the countryside and was reported by someone.
They rushed to the place he rented and found that the man had run away, so they drove after him.
As a result, when passing by a bus stop, Zhou Yi saw the suspect in the crowd at a glance.
Stop the car, arrest the person, and take him away.
When asked why he didn't leave, the suspect's answer was laughable.
He said he missed the previous bus and had to wait because there were no other buses nearby.
Wu Yongcheng continued, "Biaozi is still investigating that Dajun, but there's been no progress so far."
"Finally, regarding the direction you and Biaozi raised, Xiao Qiao went to the telecommunications bureau and inquired. They said Fu Daqing's original fruit shop phone number had been cancelled for several years, and the telecommunications bureau had no communication records. However, Chen Yan found out from the tax bureau that there was a self-employed individual who had a lot of account transactions with Fu Daqing. This self-employed individual was An Yuan."
"Take note of the information and mention it to Pan Hongjie tomorrow."
