While investigating the remaining crimes, a robber named Yang confessed that he and a man nicknamed "Biaozi" had stolen fertilizers and soybeans from the production team. Biaozi was sentenced to six months in prison.
From then on, Biaozi's image, his walking posture, and the characteristics of his two footprints were firmly engraved in the mind of Captain Chen, an expert in footprint research.
His brain was like a computer that stored the characteristics of the footprints of many different types of criminals throughout the county.
Captain Chen squatted in front of the footprints, pondering for a long time, and finally said with determination: "The so-called Section Chief Cui of the Tiefa City Material Station and Biaozi from Kangtun Village are in the same group. The robbery of the Shishan Martyrs Cemetery was directed by Section Chief Cui."
"Could it be that Biaozi is back again, and this robbery was committed by the gang from Kangtun?" Director Shen, the director of Shishan Police Station, suddenly realized, "No wonder they chose the Martyrs' Cemetery to commit the crime. It turns out they are locals and are very familiar with the surrounding environment." "I am sure that this was committed by Biaozi, but the other two gangsters are not necessarily from Kangtun." Captain Chen continued to analyze the case.
"From the moment Section Chief Cui and Wang Deyin left the Zuixianju restaurant all the way to the Martyrs' Cemetery, Section Chief Cui was always in front. This suggests that Wang Deyin was an outsider who was not familiar with the roads and was simply following behind Section Chief Cui.
Biaozi, who was hiding in the Martyrs' Cemetery, also came from the direction of the station, judging from their footsteps. When he escaped after the robbery, he was in front of Cui Kehang's footprints, which shows that Biaozi was familiar with the geographical environment here.
The other two criminals just followed Biaozi, which shows that they are not familiar with the environment here. In particular, the murder weapon is a new foreign pickaxe handle, which looks like it was just bought by an outsider from the supply and trade cooperative in the Shishan area. If it was done by the Kangtun gang, they would not have taken a new foreign pickaxe handle from home..."
"This was a premeditated robbery," Meng Fanwu said with deep emotion. "It seems Biaozi has found a new boss. This new boss plotted to lure Wang Deyin to the Shishan Martyrs Cemetery and then deployed his thugs there. After the plot succeeded, he fled from Yangquanzi Railway Station overnight.
But judging from the clues provided by Wang Deyin, both criminals were bald and spoke with accents from Beijing and Jinzhou. They couldn't have been far from Shishan..."
Yan Haiquan, the head of the reconnaissance section, said: "Based on Biaozi's criminal pattern of combining fraud and robbery, Section Chief Cui is likely Biaozi's boss, and he must have a group of thugs under him who are always at his disposal.
According to Wang Deyin's confession, he went from Jinzhou Yan'an Hotel to Zhan'an Hotel to find Section Chief Cui at 4 pm and decided to pick up the goods at Shishan troops. When Wang Deyin was not paying attention, Section Chief Cui was able to command several gangsters around him to take a taxi and set off in advance to ambush at Shishan Martyrs Cemetery.
I saw a few young men on the donkey cart not far from the entrance of the Zuixianju Restaurant, clamoring for Wang Deyin to get on board. They were most likely a group of thugs instigated by Section Chief Cui. So, I believe that the thugs besides Section Chief Cui are not from Shishan or Jinxian, but from Jinzhou.
Captain Chen looked at his watch and saw that it was already twelve o'clock noon. Since the incident, he had led his comrades from the criminal police team to conduct an on-site investigation, which lasted until late at night.
Due to the pitch-black sky, the criminals' escape footprints could not be seen clearly, so they started tracking them at six in the morning when it was just light. After tracking for six hours, they arrived at Yangquanzi Railway Station, but the footprints suddenly disappeared. Based on the on-site analysis of the scouts, he made a prompt decision.
"It now appears that several criminals escaped by train from Yangquanzi. Whether they were on a bus or a truck, they have been on the run for more than ten hours. If they fled west without getting off the train, they would have reached Beijing by now. If they fled east, they have reached Changchun, but they may have gotten off along the way. If the criminals are from our Jinxian area, we will investigate and do everything we can to capture them.
Even if we are not from Jin County, we must get to the bottom of this matter. Therefore, I have decided: First, Comrade Shen Guoyu of the Shishan Police Station will immediately organize police officers to go to Kangtun Village to wait in the pit and set up a net. If Biaozi returns home, he will be arrested immediately;
Second, several scouts, led by Yan Haiquan, immediately went to several supply and marketing cooperatives near Shishan to investigate. Who sold the pickaxe handle left at the scene? Who bought it?
3. Meng Fanwu and Liu Wei, immediately contact the railway and explain the physical characteristics of the three criminals. At every station and every train, track down these three criminals. Do everything in your power to prevent Section Chief Cui and his gang from escaping..."
As expected, Song Zhijun led two of his men to rob Wang Deyin at the Martyrs' Cemetery, then fled the scene that night and walked to Yangquanzi Railway Station, climbed onto a westbound freight train, and got off at Shanhaiguan.
The short, bald-headed gangster was named Meng Qingqi, and the tall gangster was named Liu Shuming, nicknamed "Biaozi".
They are both from Jinzhou.
Song Zhijun bought two brand new, beautiful suits for Meng Qingqi and Liu Shuming at the Shanhaiguan Department Store, and stuffed the old clothes they wore when committing the crime into a trash can at the foot of the Great Wall.
Then they walked into a seafood restaurant and sat in a luxurious private room. Song Zhijun smiled at the pretty waitress and said, "Let's have fried sea sparrows that fly in the sky, braised kingfish that swim in the sea, clear-boiled yuan fish soup that crawls on the ground, and candied cucumber strips that grow in the soil. Then we'll have a seafood hot pot. We won't order dishes that are just in name only. If you like, you can order more. I'll also have a bottle of Moutai and six bottles of Tsingtao beer."
"Brother, what dishes did you order at Zuixianju in Shishan last night?" The short man Meng Qingqi asked with excitement on his face.
Song Zhijun chuckled and said excitedly, "I also ordered four dishes, including a seafood hot pot. However, the birds flying in the sky at Shishan were fowl, and the crabs were not fish. The owner was so happy when he saw me order over 150 yuan worth of food. I thought it was a waste of time, so I can eat the cooked crabs myself."
