Captain Liu was anxiously wringing his hands outside.
Then we saw Director Chen come out with two captains from the criminal investigation team, but their faces looked very grim.
Especially when Director Chen stared at me, it was like X-rays.
I felt like I had nowhere to hide.
"Director, the comrades are already in the conference room!"
"Alright, no need for a meeting. Call all the comrades out."
Aside from a few who stayed at the police station to handle normal duties, the others came with us, taking Jiang Tiecheng with them.
Where are we going?
"Machinery factory!"
"What is the director doing at the machinery factory? You...you don't actually believe Jiang Tiecheng's nonsense, do you? He's talking rubbish."
Captain Liu recalled what Li Jiefang had said yesterday: Li Jiefang hadn't revealed where the money was hidden.
However, he had already called his brother-in-law and told him to quickly move the money to another place.
It would be best to move it out of the machine factory to avoid any unforeseen problems.
"Captain Liu, whether the other party is making excuses or has actually found some clues, we must take this matter seriously."
This money is the hard-earned money of all employees, and we must be responsible to the people.
Finding this money is absolutely essential.
With Director Chen personally leading the team, Captain Liu had no chance to make a difference.
He did want to call his brother-in-law to let him know, but Director Chen could easily handle any excuse he made.
From the beginning, he has been accompanied by the captain of the criminal investigation team.
Captain Liu isn't stupid; with all his experience in police work, how could he not know that the other party was definitely spying on him?
Of course, they made it sound nice that they were helping him get familiar with the work.
Captain Liu felt uneasy, as if something bad was about to happen.
My only hope is that my brother-in-law will handle things cleanly and efficiently.
They arrived at the machine factory.
The arrival of so many people at the machinery factory immediately put the security guards at the gate on high alert.
After all, I've never seen so many police officers appear together before.
Factory Director Ma arrived with a forced smile on his face, wiping cold sweat from his brow, surrounded by other factory cadres.
"Captain Liu, who are these people?"
My heart was pounding as I saw Jiang Tiecheng in the middle of it all.
Most importantly, Jiang Tiecheng wasn't wearing a silver bracelet, which made Director Ma's heart leap into his throat.
Did those two idiots fail to get things done last night? I personally gave them the orders.
But the two of them never came back, and he thought the matter was already settled.
"Director Ma, this is Director Chen from our city, along with two captains from the Criminal Investigation Brigade."
We're here this time because of the major murder and theft case from last time.
Factory Director Ma hurriedly and enthusiastically said,
"Director Chen, Captains, I've been waiting for you!"
Such a big case happened in our factory, and now everyone is in a state of panic. None of the employees have received their wages.
Many people have come to me, the factory manager, and I'm at my wit's end. Please, please solve this case as soon as possible.
If we can't find this kind of wage, no one will be able to live in peace.
Director Chen nodded.
"Director Ma, don't worry, we're here specifically for this case."
Director Chen turned to look at Jiang Tiecheng.
"Xiao Jiang, this time it's all up to you."
Jiang Tiecheng nodded.
"Director Chen, don't worry. Since I'm so confident in saying this, I'm sure I can find it."
Factory Director Ma looked at Jiang Tiecheng and asked with a puzzled expression,
"Director Chen, isn't this the suspect in our factory's major murder and theft case?"
How did we bring him here?
"Director Ma, there has been new progress in the case, and we need to reinvestigate it. Director Ma, please cooperate."
Factory Director Ma immediately gave a wink to the workshop director behind him.
There are some things that he, as the factory manager, can't do in person, but others certainly can.
Sure enough, the workshop foreman immediately jumped out.
"Director Chen, although you are a leader in the city, this is a suspect in a major murder and theft case."
He's not even wearing handcuffs now. What if he escapes during this investigation?
He's responsible for the fate of 150,000 yuan in wages for all the employees in our factory.
A social scum like him should be locked up in the police station. How could they bring him out?
Isn't this giving him a chance to escape?
He stared angrily at Jiang Tiecheng.
Director Chen immediately put on a serious face.
"Before the investigation, this comrade was merely a suspect."
"We police officers have our own methods for handling cases and conducting our work; please do not obstruct our operations."
Director Chen walked straight inside with a cold face.
"Xiao Jiang will lead the way for us now."
The workshop foreman, his face pale, glanced at Factory Director Ma, who nodded at him.
The workshop foreman immediately understood and turned to leave, running straight into the workshop.
Jiang Tiecheng led everyone to the crime scene first.
Based on the new clues provided by the liberation, the fingerprints behind the safe have been collected.
Jiang Tiecheng then recounted the scene of the crime for everyone.
Jiang Tiecheng went directly to the third office next door.
The office staff were so frightened by the sight of so many police officers that they all stood in the corridor.
Jiang Tiecheng pushed the door open and went in, smiling as he spoke.
"Officer, all the offices on this floor were searched at the time, so I'm sure you searched this room as well."
There was definitely nothing found.
I'll point out which corners you might be in.
For example, there is a gap between the filing cabinet behind the office door and the wall, and this gap is just big enough for one person to fit in.
Because the gap between the filing cabinet and the wall is right in the blind spot of this door, no one can see it.
I am certain that the murderer did not leave this office that night; instead, he hid here.
After everyone had arrived at work the next day, he calmly opened the office.
I believe that most people would not notice this corner, let alone clean it, and the murderer would certainly not consider erasing his traces here.
There must be traces left by the murderer here—footprints, fingerprints.
Captain Liu looked at the narrow opening with a hint of fear in his eyes. How could he have known?
It was only when his brother-in-law brought that person back to the scene that he learned what the other party had done.
But I never expected that someone else would point it out so directly.
The police officer next to him went up to collect the evidence and quickly emerged from the gap, saying with delight.
"The captain has made a new discovery: bloody fingerprints and very clear footprints."
"What's most surprising is that this bloody fingerprint wasn't taken while wearing gloves."
On the contrary, the fingerprints were clear.
Captain Liu's head buzzed.
I overlooked this part.
