Chapter 439: Investigate to the End (20 days of 10,000 yuan per day)



Chapter 439: Investigate to the End (20 days of 10,000 yuan per day)

Dong Lu did not die. Fan Tianyou probably ran out of strength when he made the last slash of the knife. The knife went through, but did not cause serious damage to her internal organs.

So the rescue was successful in the end.

But Zhou Yi was very confused, because the scene he saw downstairs was either his own hallucination or there was something beyond common sense in the dark.

At least in his mind, he clearly saw Xiao Bing and Dong Lu leaving hand in hand.

So he thought that Dong Lu left and followed Xiao Bing.

But in the end Wu Yongcheng told him that Dong Lu was rescued.

So he always had doubts about this in his mind.

It was not until two days later when Dong Lu woke up that he learned the truth.

The first thing Dong Lu said when she woke up was: "Sister followed brother."

Zhou Yi stood there in shock. So it was Dong Lu whose heart stopped beating? And the one who was rescued later was her Little Frost personality?

Zhou Yi told Director Sun about this guess, but of course he didn't tell him about the hallucination he had downstairs.

Director Sun later confirmed through treatment and testing that only Xiaoshuang's personality remained in Dong Lu's body.

Dong Lu's original personality disappeared.

Or dead, in other words.

Director Sun said that after multiple personality disorder is successfully cured, multiple personalities will be integrated into one of the personalities, and only one personality will remain in the end.

However, he had never heard of such a situation where personality disappeared due to external stimulation rather than fusion, which was of great value to the exploration and research in the field of mental illness.

Director Sun is willing to bear all medical expenses incurred by Dong Lu and continue to provide her with mental treatment until she is fully recovered and able to reintegrate into society.

The condition, of course, was that Dong Lu would be treated as a special case for him to conduct academic research and publish papers.

Moreover, the miraculous changes in Dong Lu also produced another special situation.

According to Director Sun, after multiple personality disorder is cured, the memories of the disappeared personality will be inherited by the retained personality, and the individual will be able to recall and understand all the memories of the disappeared personality from a first-person perspective. Although traumatic memories may still be painful when reviewed, they are no longer dissociated, fragmented, and uncontrollable.

So Dong Lu also has this characteristic, and the Xiaoshuang personality inherited most of Dong Lu's memories when he was awake.

After Dong Lu's body had almost recovered, Director Sun conducted a mental evaluation on her. Although her personality still retained its original closed characteristics, perhaps because she inherited Dong Lu's memory, she was not as completely closed as a hedgehog as before.

Moreover, she has a strong sense of trust in Zhou Yi because she said Zhou Yi is a good person.

Later, through Xiaoshuang's personality, Zhou Yi and others learned some unknown information about what happened to Dong Lu.

But that was after the grand case was completely closed.

Zhou Yi didn’t know what happened to Xiao Bing and Dong Lu in his previous life?

But it is highly likely that the truth behind the self-immolation was completely buried, and perhaps they will never know the truth behind the unprovoked disaster until their death.

In this life, Xiao Bing and Dong Lu found the culprit, but they paid a huge price.

Just like when Xiao Bing was forced to accept the 50,000 yuan and make a choice between Dong Lu's life and the truth.

Some things cannot be achieved at the same time, just like a balance, one side always has to pay a price.

Zhou Yi knew that tragedy was doomed for Xiao Bing and Dong Lu, and he could not completely save them no matter in which life.

That night, after Zhou Yi hung up the phone, Lu Xiaoshuang looked for Qian Hongxing, hoping that he could drive her to find Zhou Yi.

But Lu Xiaoshuang didn't know where Zhou Yi was. She tried to ask Zhou Yi, but Zhou Yi just told her not to worry and that everything was fine.

Qian Hongxing looked at Lu Xiaoshuang, who was sitting there blankly with red eyes, and asked his friends. He learned that there was big news just coming out of the Third Municipal Hospital, so he concluded that Zhou Yi must be there.

Then he asked Lu Xiaoshuang to go with him and asked his bodyguard Xiao Sun to drive him and Lu Xiaoshuang to the hospital.

When Lu Xiaoshuang saw Zhou Yi and threw herself into his arms, Qian Hongxing, who was not far away, put her hands in her pockets and looked at the two of them with satisfaction, a smile on her face like an aunt.

Lu Xiaoshuang looked up and asked Zhou Yi a question: "Professor Fan... is he the murderer?"

Zhou Yi hesitated and nodded.

"So...is this over?"

Facing Lu Xiaoshuang's question, Zhou Yi gritted his teeth and replied, "No, not yet!"

Then he told Lu Xiaoshuang to go back with Qian Hongxing first, and he would pick her up after he had settled everything.

Lu Xiaoshuang was reluctant to leave, but Zhou Yi smiled and touched her head, telling her that he would be fine and not to worry.

Lu Xiaoshuang then walked back, but it was only a short ten meters, and she looked back every few steps.

Qian Hongxing did not come over, but nodded tacitly to Zhou Yi from a distance.

When Lu Xiaoshuang walked to Qian Hongxing, Zhou Yi waved his hand, then turned and left without hesitation.

"I'm familiar with that look." Qian Hongxing said calmly, "Officer Zhou is going to fight."

Dong Lu was successfully rescued that night and was out of danger.

But Fan Tianyou was not so lucky. His condition was much worse than Dong Lu's. External injuries were part of the problem, but the main problems came from two reasons.

First, infection. Because of his dying struggle and the trauma caused by Dong Lu later, Fan Tianyou missed the best time for treatment and multiple internal organs were infected.

Second, falling. Although Liang Wei notified the fire department in advance to prepare an air cushion, the cushioning effect of the air cushion at the height of the 18th floor can only ensure that you will not be torn into pieces and smashed into pieces when you fall. Whether you can survive is determined by fate.

In fact, in Fan Tianyou's case, the fact that he did not die on the spot after falling was already God saving him.

But the bigger problem was that the fall caused multiple severe fractures in his spine, resulting in irreversible and massive damage.

After more than ten hours of rescue, Fan Tianyou's life was finally saved.

But the doctor said that the best outcome he would face would be high-level paraplegia, with all functions below the neck lost. He might even never wake up again and become a vegetable.

Zhou Yi didn't know if this was God's punishment for him.

But he didn't want Fan Tianyou to become a vegetable. He hoped that Fan Tianyou could wake up, answer all his questions, and then die.

Because the best outcome for him is high-level paraplegia, a criminal suspect who completely loses his ability to act. He will not be sentenced and will not bear legal responsibility. If his family does not care, he will eventually become a burden to society, and the country will have to provide him with assistance, wasting taxpayers' money.

The next morning, Zhou Yi woke up on a chair in the corridor outside the intensive care unit of the hospital. He was covered with a white coat. It was unknown which doctor who passed by had covered him with it.

He folded his white coat and placed it on the chair.

At this time, two people appeared at the elevator entrance. They were He Bin and a brother from the second team.

"Brother Bin, you're back from Huaixing." Zhou Yi shouted.

He Bin patted Zhou Yi's shoulder and said with emotion, "Thank you for your hard work. We will be responsible for 24-hour supervision of Fan Tianyou and Dong Lu. We will report any situation at any time. You and Chen Yan should hurry back to the bureau. Director Xie has a meeting at 8:30."

Zhou Yi then remembered that after Fan Tianyou was rescued, Liang Wei, Wu Yongcheng and others returned to the task force first, and he and Chen Yan stayed behind to guard him.

But when I woke up, I didn't see Chen Yan, so I couldn't help but look around.

At this time, another elevator door opened, and Chen Yan came out carrying a large bag of steaming buns and two cups of soy milk.

After saying hello to He Bin, the two prepared to return to the bureau.

Before leaving, Zhou Yi asked He Bin a question: "Brother Bin, what happened to Zhang Wenhua later?"

"After the incident, local colleagues and the Education Bureau launched an investigation into him. Although what he did to Xu Liu could hardly be defined as rape, Zhang Wenhua's mental state was extremely poor. With a little intimidation from the local police, he confessed to all his previous dirty deeds, including molestation and prostitution. A whole host of other issues."

This is not surprising. A beast in human skin who can do such a thing cannot be a first-time offender. It’s just that he has not been exposed for various reasons.

"The school has already expelled him and detained him. In short, his fate is as follows: his wife and children have been torn apart, and his reputation has been ruined." He Bin finished speaking, then pouted, "Serves him right! This scumbag deserves this fate."

Such a result is gratifying to everyone. Otherwise, it would be too easy for him to get away with it.

But there is still a beast in human skin who has not been brought to justice!

In the car, Zhou Yi ate a bun and asked, "Brother Yan, why did you buy so many buns?"

Chen Yan said embarrassedly, "When I was waiting in line, I overheard another customer talking to the woman selling buns. It seemed like her child was seriously ill, so I thought about buying more."

Zhou Yi looked down at the big bag of buns, which had already been given to He Bin and the others, and smiled helplessly.

"Have you eaten yet?"

Chen Yan nodded and said that he had eaten and could not eat anymore.

Zhou Yi burst out laughing. The three good students are so simple and kind.

Zhou Yi lifted the bag in his hand and said, "That's perfect. I'll distribute it to everyone during the meeting later."

"Tell me, why is this meeting held at the bureau and not at the task force?"

Zhou Yi shook his head. He really couldn't guess what Director Xie was thinking.

But what Fan Tianyou did yesterday must be a very serious problem.

Although the original large-scale case had an impact on society, it was still under investigation and was controlled and intervened. The news was spread by word of mouth among the masses, and no major media outlets were involved.

The greater impact is still within the grand system.

In the previous life, the influence spread only after the scope of the investigation was expanded, and the situation became uncontrollable.

But in this life, the decision to expand the scope of the investigation had just been made, and before the impact of the incident could be escalated, Fan Tianyou made such big news in full view of everyone in the city's busiest place.

This is no longer a matter of internal impact, but an impact on urban safety, which is what the higher-ups are most concerned about.

From Zhou Yi's perspective, this matter has actually become a sword of Damocles. It depends on how Xie Guoqiang plans to use this sword.

"We'll know in a moment."

In the sky, the warm morning sun shines on their faces.

All the main members of the task force were present in the meeting room of the Municipal Bureau.

Except for four leaders who haven't arrived yet.

Zhou Yi asked Shi Tao quietly, "Captain Shi, do you have any inside information?"

Shi Tao shook his head and covered his mouth and said, "I want to ask you something."

At this time, Xie Guoqiang walked in hurriedly, followed by Liang Wei and then Wu Yongcheng.

I didn’t see Ni Jianrong.

After closing the door and sitting down, Xie Guoqiang looked around and asked, "Do you all know what happened yesterday?"

Everyone nodded. How could they not know?

"The nature is extremely bad, the impact is extremely serious, and the consequences are extremely severe!" Xie Guoqiang said with a serious expression, using three "extremely" in a row.

Zhou Yi knew that he was about to draw his sword.

Sure enough, the next second, Xie Guoqiang said, "After overnight research and discussion by the provincial department and the municipal party committee, it has been decided to launch a comprehensive and detailed investigation into Fan Tianyou, Chen Gengyun, Liu Baoguo, and other suspects involved in the case. No one and no organization may obstruct the investigation, otherwise they will be severely punished according to law."

Xie Guoqiang pounded the table and said forcefully, "Investigate what needs to be investigated, summon those who need to be summoned, and don't hesitate. If anything goes wrong, I, Xie Guoqiang, will take the fall! If I can't handle it, there's Director Xu, and there's the law!"

"In addition, the Discipline Inspection Commission will send someone to cooperate with our work. If any violations of discipline or regulations are discovered during the investigation, the Commission will intervene immediately."

Sure enough, the impact of yesterday's incident caused the situation to escalate and some things were torn apart.

Zhou Yi didn't know if this could be considered a blessing in disguise, but at least the attitude of the higher-ups was very clear. They would investigate strictly, thoroughly, and thoroughly, and no one could hide anything anymore.

Basically, it was equivalent to achieving the effect that Zhou Yi had hoped for before. He couldn't just lock down Fan Tianyou and Chen Gengyun by himself, he had to mobilize the power of the organization.

"I have another announcement to make. Comrade Ni Jianrong has been temporarily removed from the task force due to suspected violations. I hope everyone will take this as a warning." Xie Guoqiang stood up and said decisively, "The meeting is adjourned."

This statement immediately caused surprise among everyone present, especially Shi Tao, who kept asking, "Oh my god, Ni Zhi...what did Old Ni do?"

Zhou Yi knew that Ni Jianrong might have really said something he shouldn't have said at the dinner on the evening of the 30th.

The fact that Director Xie can say it openly and brazenly shows that the problem is serious. His withdrawal from the task force is only temporary, and the supervisory department will definitely conduct further investigation later.

Ni Jianrong doesn't look like someone who could be a major corrupt official. Moreover, he is in charge of criminal investigation work, with Xie Guoqiang above him and Wu Yongcheng below him. It is unlikely that he would do anything to cover up the truth or bend the law for personal gain.

But those who like to hang out at dinner parties and build personal relationships are bound to be greedy and take small bribes. If you stand by the river too often, you will get your feet wet.

Captain Ni is probably in trouble this time.

He probably never imagined that the person he had dinner with would become a suspect in a major case and implicate himself.

After Xie Guoqiang left, Liang Wei and Wu Yongcheng began to direct the subsequent work.

Now the situation has become very clear. Fan Tianyou's dying struggle has undoubtedly confirmed that he is the murderer of the Hongda case.

This huge case involved not only Xu Liu's dismemberment and Lu Xiaoshuang's abduction and dumping of her body in a mine.

It also includes Xiao Bing's death later and Dong Lu's burn case eight years ago.

In other words, the Hongda case became a serial case spanning eight years, and the murderer in this case was Fan Tianyou.

Dong Lu's words, Fan Tianyou's self-destruction of the mine in Xinbei Town, and the piece of meat that Xiao Bing bit off were all evidence.

But there are still many doubts to be investigated and many gaps to be filled.

It also means that Fan Tianyou’s alibi needs to be reviewed and investigated again.

Those without alibis from two or more witnesses will all be re-investigated. Those with only one witness, or no witnesses but only physical evidence, will all be listed as key suspects.

The first and foremost of these is the alibi for visiting the graves on the night of the 28th.

Chen Gengyun is therefore a major suspect, and it is not ruled out that he may be an accomplice or even involved in the entire case.

Although Liu Baoguo's alibi was strong, the call to Xu Liu's pager came from his landline, so he had to provide an explanation. Furthermore, Xu Liu's information to his cousin Feng Qiang about his upcoming trip abroad might have been connected to Liu Baoguo and Chen Gengyun.

So the first order Liang Wei issued was to invite Liu Baoguo back and bring Chen Gengyun from the special task force back to the Municipal Bureau. In order to avoid interference, all subsequent interrogations would be conducted at the Municipal Bureau.

Then Liang Wei clearly integrated all current investigation directions and gave clear investigation instructions.

The first is the investigation into Fan Tianyou.

1. Investigate Fan Tianyou’s family situation, including his growth experience in his hometown and his social background.

Because when Fan Tianyou confronted Zhou Yi, he clearly stated self-denial, saying that he was born a mistake and should not have come to this world.

This shows that deep down in his heart he has a strong sense of self-denial, which is unlikely to have been formed in adulthood, because the self-abandonment and suicidal tendencies caused by the psychological trauma after entering society as an adult should be expressed as "my life is meaningless" rather than descriptions such as "born" and "coming to this world".

Therefore, this extreme emotion is likely related to his original family and growing environment, and may even be the root cause of the formation of criminal psychology.

Regarding this matter, Liang Wei has arranged for people from the provincial department to rush to Changfengling, Fan Tianyou's hometown, overnight. The foreign aid committee will personally visit and investigate in the mountainous area.

2. To investigate Fan Tianyou’s situation during his university years, the task force contacted and questioned each of Fan Tianyou’s undergraduate classmates one by one according to the list of his classmates.

Including all aspects of Fan Tianyou's personality traits, temperament, hobbies, etc.

Especially his relationship with Chen Lin, how did they meet, how did they get together, and whether they had any conflicts or quarrels.

Therefore, another investigation was derived around Chen Lin, and her college classmates, especially her roommates, were also contacted and visited one by one.

At the same time, we also need to find the local police station to find out about the death of Chen Lin and her mother from carbon monoxide poisoning.

3. Investigate Fan Tianyou’s current social relations, including colleagues and friends.

Understand Fan Tianyou’s current personal situation, interpersonal relationships, especially relationships between men and women.

Because he behaved abnormally in the matter of Lu Xiaoshuang, he was very concerned about whether Lu Xiaoshuang had a relationship with someone else.

And based on what he said during the confrontation, it was obvious that he had previously believed that Lu Xiaoshuang had had a relationship with Zhou Yi.

Combined with the fact that after Zhou Yi swore, he asked Zhou Yi to go to the mine in Xinbei Town to find Lu Xiaoshuang, as well as his remorse and the sorry he said when he talked to Lu Xiaoshuang on the phone.

This shows that he kidnapped and framed Lu Xiaoshuang entirely because of whether Lu Xiaoshuang was still a virgin.

If she is a virgin, she should not die; if she is not a virgin, she should die. This kind of psychological perversion is very serious, so we need to consider his personal emotional experience and whether he has suffered serious emotional trauma, which has led to psychological distortion.

However, there is still a question here. This extreme emotional motive of deciding whether to kill someone based on whether the girl is a virgin does not actually conform to a premeditated crime such as framing someone else.

Therefore, Liang Wei believes that there is a suspicion of accomplices in the crime.

The person with the greatest suspicion must be Chen Gengyun.

Because the clue about the Nokia ringtone provided by Lu Xiaoshuang matched Chen Gengyun's.

4. Investigate Fan Tianyou’s study abroad information.

Including the time of going abroad, the source of funds for studying abroad, and some circumstances of studying abroad.

Because Dong Lu's incident happened in November 1989, but Fan Tianyou's study abroad record started in August 1989.

There is an obvious time difference in between, so there is a high probability that data falsification is involved, and there may even be someone behind the scenes who is abusing their position to commit crimes.

In this matter, Liang Wei would directly use the authority of the Provincial Department Headquarters to find the immigration department to check Fan Tianyou's entry and exit records.

Information can be tampered with, but entry and exit records cannot be changed.

5. Conduct a comprehensive search of Fan Tianyou’s office and apartment.

At the same time, investigate Fan Tianyou's financial and asset status, as well as all communication records of his office landline and mobile phone.

Next is the investigation into Chen Gengyun.

First, the first thing to do is to search the Chen family’s old house to confirm whether it is possible that the Chen family’s old house is the first crime scene.

Because according to the current preliminary investigation, the old house where Chen Gengyun originally lived was not rented out, so it is very likely that the conditions for committing the crime were met.

2. Investigate Chen Gengyun’s financial and asset situation.

Although Director Xie said that what needs to be investigated should be investigated, there are still differences between Chen Gengyun and Fan Tianyou, so the investigation in this regard will be intervened by the Discipline Inspection Commission and assisted by the public security department.

Once any abnormal economic transactions involving the persons involved in the case are discovered, or any clues related to the case such as other real estate under Chen Gengyun's name are discovered, they will be immediately handed over to the task force for in-depth investigation.

3. Chen Gengyun’s car allocation.

This was found by Chen Yan at the traffic police brigade according to the direction Zhou Yi gave.

He didn't find any record of Fan Tianyou's traffic violations. After all, Fan Tianyou didn't have a driver's license. If he drove without a license, it would be recorded in his criminal record.

But he did find a record of Chen Gengyun's traffic violation. Following this record, he finally found a black Toyota Crown sedan.

This car is not in Chen Gengyun's name, but is an official car of Hongda Social Sciences College, but the daily use rights are in the hands of Chen Gengyun.

Therefore, during the previous routine investigation, it was found that Chen Gengyun had no car under his name, because the investment, insurance, maintenance, etc. of the car were all paid for by Hongda.

This car is the top priority target of investigation, because whether it is the kidnapping of Lu Xiaoshuang, the disposal of the body, or the murder of Xiao Bing, it may be related to this car.

Liang Wei's request to Qiu Zhiyong was that even if the car was disassembled into parts, he had to check every millimeter and not miss any place!

Fourth, Chen Gengyun’s social relationships, as well as the call records of his office landline and mobile phone.

What is particularly important is the call record around 3 pm on April 30th, because this time is exactly when Lu Xiaoshuang heard the phone ringing after she fell into a coma.

5. Check Chen Gengyun’s entry and exit records and customs records.

Chen Gengyun and Liu Baoguo traveled abroad very frequently due to their positions, and the drug that knocked Lu Xiaoshuang and Xiao Bing unconscious was an imported drug not available in China, but it could not escape the customs inspection records.

6. The cigarette butt found in the mine.

The extract from the cigarette butt has been sent for DNA testing and the results are still awaited.

However, there was no clear matching target when the sample was sent for testing, so even if the DNA was detected, we would not know who it belonged to.

But now Director Xie has spoken and the provincial department has issued instructions, so Chen Gengyun's DNA sample must be immediately extracted and sent for testing.

If this cigarette butt belongs to Chen Gengyun, he has to explain himself.

After Liang Wei finished speaking, Zhou Yi put forward two additional suggestions.

First, in the investigation of Chen Gengyun’s social relations, it is necessary to focus on whether he has ever had close contacts with companies or individuals related to coal mining.

Because not everyone has access to these abandoned mines in Xinbei Town, and it is unreasonable for Manhongcheng to look for a suitable place to dump the bodies in order to design such a frame-up plan.

So it is likely that he had come into contact with some people and things related to coal mines, and then remembered that this place met his requirements.

Second, there are some gaps in Chen Gengyun’s resume, namely the years from 1963 to 1964.

Why is it blank? Is it because the archives were lost over time, or is something being hidden intentionally?

Especially since Fan Tianyou was also born in 1964.

Zhou Yi even suggested that the provincial DNA laboratory check the blood relationship between Fan Tianyou and Chen Gengyun while testing their samples.

He suspected that the two years that Chen Gengyun was absent might have something to do with Fan Tianyou.

When these words were spoken, most people were surprised, except Liang Wei and Wu Yongcheng.

In fact, Zhou Yi was a little hesitant about this suspicion. If Fan Tianyou was Chen Gengyun's illegitimate son or his romantic debt, then Fan Tianyou was admitted to Hongda University, and fell in love with Chen Gengyun's daughter Chen Lin, and then accidentally discovered that the people they loved were actually siblings. This matter was too bloody.

But reality is sometimes very bloody, so it is better to check it out to be safe.

Liang Wei adopted Zhou Yi's two suggestions and directly included them in the investigation content.

Then it’s about Liu Baoguo.

Since Liu Baoguo's alibi has been verified and is very clear, the possibility of his direct involvement in the crime has been ruled out.

He had two main problems. The first was the phone call.

The vice-president's office is not a public phone in a roadside shop where anyone can call for fifty cents.

Either the call is from you, or it is from someone who has a close relationship with you, such as Chen Gengyun.

In short, this matter cannot be covered up by just getting angry. You have no place to complain even if you want to. If you don't turn around, they will keep wasting time with you. The first trial will take several hours, and they will ask you the same question over and over again to see what you will do.

Second, how much did he know about Dong Lu’s affairs back then and how much did he participate in them?

He was in charge of the graduate school work at that time, so it is impossible for him to be unaware of the inside story of this matter.

As for if this leads to other economic issues, that is the job of the Discipline Inspection Commission and has nothing to do with them.

In addition to these three suspicious targets, there are some final investigations.

1. Dong Lu’s “self-immolation” case was officially filed and investigated together with the Hongda case.

This includes looking for the manager of the graduate dormitory at that time, the school security staff who came into contact with the incident, another student in Room 404, Dong Lu's graduate school classmates, and other possible insiders.

As for the subsequent accountability after the matter is investigated, that is another matter.

Now we have to get to the bottom of this!

Second, take the photos of Fan Tianyou, Chen Gengyun and Liu Baoguo, and ask the witnesses to identify the channels for buying oil that had been checked before, especially the farmers' market.

A single eyewitness may not be able to form valid evidence, but multiple eyewitnesses can form a valid chain of evidence.

The same applies to witnesses wearing hats inside and outside the Hongda campus on the 29th.

And the prostitution solicitation flyers printed with Xu Liu's pager number that began to appear on April 13th.

3. Find the first crime scene.

This is always the most important physical evidence in a murder case.

Unless it is discovered during the investigation, such as the Chen family's old house, or other properties under Chen Gengyun's name, or the other party voluntarily confesses during the interrogation.

Otherwise, you still need to find the first crime scene.

Jiang Biao immediately stated that since the last meeting, he had reviewed the records of the carpet search from May 1st to 10th.

At present, more than a dozen areas with suspicious points have been identified, and grassroots police forces have been concentrated to conduct re-examination and investigation.

Zhou Yi didn't expect that Liang Wei could sort out the case so clearly so quickly, and at the same time, he implemented each work arrangement in an orderly manner, allowing all police forces to work at the same time, and almost all investigative directions were moving forward in parallel.

This not only makes the best use of manpower and resources, but also enables phased results to be achieved in the shortest possible time.

After all, he is a big shot in the provincial department, and he handled this big situation calmly and with ease.

But the only thing that made Zhou Yi feel strange was that Liang Wei never mentioned his name when arranging the work.

This made Zhou Yi feel very strange.

At this point, he certainly couldn't think that he was being treated coldly on purpose. He wasn't feeling uneasy, he just simply felt strange.

After the meeting, Liang Wei told everyone that time was running out and they should take action immediately.

In less than thirty seconds, everyone in the conference room left. Everyone was eager to try and couldn't wait to find out the truth.

Liang Wei and Wu Yongcheng didn't move, and Zhou Yi didn't move either, as if the three of them had a tacit understanding.

Liang Wei and Wu Yongcheng looked at each other and asked, "Zhou Yi, do you find it strange that we didn't assign you a job?"

Zhou Yi's expression was calm, but his eyes were determined as he said, "I choose Chen Gengyun!"

Liang Wei was slightly stunned, but immediately a smile of appreciation appeared on the corner of his mouth. He understood without being pointed out. This young man already possessed the charm of an excellent veteran criminal detective.

"Okay, then we'll take care of Liu Baoguo, and Captain Wu and you will be in charge of Chen Gengyun."

That’s right, when Liang Wei finished speaking, Zhou Yi figured it out. There was only one reason why he was not assigned any tasks, which was to interrogate Chen Gengyun and Liu Baoguo.

And he will definitely choose Chen Gengyun. He wants to confront this cunning old fox head-on.

In the interrogation room, Zhou Yi and Wu Yongcheng sat behind the table.

But the detention chair in front was still empty.

Since Chen Gengyun was still on the way from Hongda, it was almost time for him to arrive.

"Captain Wu, what did Ni Jianrong say at the dinner on the evening of the 30th?"

Wu Yongcheng narrowed his eyes, took a puff of his cigarette, and said, "It's nothing, really. He just said something a little too much. He was a little drunk at the time, and when Director Wang called, he didn't hear clearly, so he asked, 'What? Where were the body parts found?'"

"This has been confirmed with Director Wang, and colleagues who were at the scene that night also confirmed that he smelled strongly of alcohol."

Zhou Yi nodded. This was 100% against the rules, but it was not something he did intentionally.

With his rank as a detachment leader and the fact that he is a relative of someone else, the matter could be a big one or a small one.

But unfortunately, there is a suspect in this meal, and he may even be the murderer.

In the dismemberment case, after the murderer disposed of the body, he knew that it would be known to others sooner or later.

But when the police discovered it and to what extent they discovered it is actually difficult to know from the murderer's perspective.

Even if the police subsequently launch a large-scale search, the murderer will remain in a state of tension and panic until he gets concrete information.

This period of time is the easiest time to make mistakes. Even if you don't reveal anything, the psychological pressure will cause people around you to feel that your behavior is abnormal.

These details may sometimes be helpful.

What's more, the cases in this life are much more complicated than those in the previous life.

But Ni Jianrong's words directly let Chen Gengyun know that the police had found the dismembered body. With the psychological preparation in advance, it was easier for him to hide and disguise himself.

So Ni Jianrong is really unlucky.

"People should keep things simple. Criminal investigation requires a certain level of awe." Wu Yongcheng said, stubbed out his cigarette, and said, "A guest is here."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the interrogation room was knocked and then opened.

Chen Gengyun was brought in by the colleague in charge of escort and directly locked in a detention chair.

"Dean Chen, nice to meet you again." Zhou Yi said with a sneer.

Chen Gengyun looked a little tired, with heavy dark circles under his eyes, but there was still a kind of condescending arrogance in his eyes.

Zhou Yi didn't know whether he had a good mental state or he was so confident that he would not cry until he saw the coffin.

Liang Wei said that when Chen Gengyun heard the sound of the ambulance downstairs yesterday, his expression changed significantly. He must have guessed what happened.

This shows that he may have some knowledge of Fan Tianyou's injury.

But he had no way of knowing what happened in the hospital afterwards because he was forcibly detained in the task force and was under surveillance.

Liang Wei did not follow Director Xie's previous order to "release the person within twelve hours."

Therefore, the information gap here may be an opportunity for a breakthrough in the interrogation.

Chen Gengyun's expression was calm. He looked down at the detention chair that held him and said, "Comrades, this... seems a little inappropriate, doesn't it?"

"Really? Why is it inappropriate?" Wu Yongcheng asked.

This was the first time Chen Gengyun and Wu Yongcheng met. Chen Gengyun didn't answer immediately. Instead, he looked at Wu Yongcheng and asked, "Who is this comrade?"

"I'm the deputy chief of the Criminal Investigation Division of the Municipal Bureau, and Zhou Yi's supervisor."

"Oh, Captain Wu, huh? I've heard a lot about you."

Wu Yongcheng was delighted: "Oh, Dean Chen knows me."

Chen Gengyun laughed and said, "I've heard from some friends in the system that Captain Wu is a famous detective. Captain Wu is now at the deputy section level, right?"

Chen Gengyun and Liu Baoguo have completely two different styles. Liu Baoguo's arrogance is beyond words and very direct. He exudes a sense of contempt from the bottom of his heart, as if you are not in the same class as me.

Chen Gengyun was obviously much more approachable. He greeted everyone with a smile and was courteous to others. He made people feel that he was a humble and amiable person.

But Zhou Yi had experienced this man's hidden cunning. There was always a condescending tone in his words and deeds, as if he wanted to give advice on life anytime and anywhere.

This reminded Zhou Yi of Zhang Wenhua. This beast was doing something almost like seduction while talking about poetry, songs and life philosophy.

Wu Yongcheng raised his eyelids and asked, "Why, Dean Chen, are you planning to use your position as a division-level cadre to pressure me?"

Zhou Yi couldn't help but give a thumbs up in his heart. Captain Wu was really amazing. He immediately saw through the other party's little thoughts.

"President Chen, I'm calling you 'President' out of respect for you intellectuals, not for you. So you'd better understand. Here, there's only a distinction between police and criminal suspects. There's no such thing as this cadre or that cadre. Do you understand?"

Wu Yongcheng's words slapped Chen Gengyun in the face. His expression turned grim, and his smile froze. He asked doubtfully, "Suspect...suspect? Where did that come from? Is there some misunderstanding?"

Zhou Yi said, "Chen Gengyun, stop pretending. We already have evidence of Fan Tianyou's crimes. Does the abandoned mine in Xinbei Town sound familiar? Fan Tianyou himself told us about it! So you'd better not harbor any more hopes that you can get away with it."

Zhou Yi was not lying. The mine was indeed mentioned by Fan Tianyou himself, but he was unable to speak now.

If it were an ordinary criminal suspect, he would definitely panic after hearing such information. The most feared thing for a conspiracy criminal is being reported by his accomplice.

But Chen Gengyun's face was filled with confusion. He widened his eyes and asked innocently, "What mine? You can't just take his one-sided story."

It turns out that he won't give in so easily.

Zhou Yi took out his signed transcript and pointed to his alibi for the night of April 28th. "Then explain to me, what's going on with this alibi? How did you meet someone who couldn't possibly be in this place that night? Is this a ghost?"

Chen Gengyun narrowed his eyes, stared at the transcript in Zhou Yi's hand, and suddenly let out a long sigh.

"Actually, I've thought this day would come a long time ago."
