Serious Crime Unit 1

Chapter 696 The Disaster of Malfeasance (3)
"The best clue is to look for it from the family members of the victims in Luowan Village. This clue leads directly to the mastermind behind the scenes. Any murderer has a motive for killing. The five victims who were killed one by one must have some strength from the family members of the victims. It was done by someone who is powerful, has a high IQ, and has excellent network skills. Therefore, the scope of the suspect is relatively narrow. I believe that he will be able to be caught. It just takes a long time."

"Yes, the mastermind behind the scenes not only has financial strength, but also powerful network technology. Otherwise, he would not be able to master the whereabouts, hobbies, social background, etc. of the five deceased people. His hacking skills may be better than mine." Lu Yingying said.

"In the past, we were the ones who finally brought the mastermind to justice. However, this time it was proposed by Lu Haiming. If he was killed by the mastermind first, we may never be able to bring the truth to the world, and we did not discover the problem in time. This shows that there are flaws in my work and we need to reflect on it."

"Captain Jiang, we have received too many cases. Each case has been solved for less than a month, so there is almost no time for reflection. Besides, there is no perfect case solving in the world, just like there is no perfect crime. Please don't commit suicide. It's not too late to discover the problem now, you can fix it before it's too late." Wu Jiang looked at Jiang Yiming's self-blaming expression and comforted him.

"Old Wu, you are really our anchor. Okay, I won't regret the past. Doing the next work seriously is the final remedy."

"People must be sent to protect Lu Haiming. He is very likely to be the next murder target." Wu Jiang said.

"Lao Wu, don't worry. I have arranged for him to be put in the city bureau hotel and sent a protection team to protect him 24 hours a day. Now Zhou Ting and I are going to Luowan Village to visit the people, and Lao Wu and Xiao Ke are going to interrogate Yang Sihe. Gu Shitong, see if they are willing to tell you. If there are no clues, you two will go investigate Ding Qun and Lin Lihua. If there are not enough manpower, I will go to the No. 2 and No. 3 Major Crime Team to transfer people. We are competing for time with the murderer. The next target may be retired Vice Mayor Liu, because he was the one who ordered the internal handling of five dereliction of duty."

"Okay, let's compete with the murderer for the speed of life and death." Xiao Ke was most worried about letting the murderer succeed again.

"Captain Jiang, why don't you protect Vice Mayor Liu as well?"

"Okay, I'm going to report this to the Bureau. It would be ideal for better guards to protect Vice Mayor Liu. It would be safer if Vice Mayor Liu is hidden in the armed police force." Jiang Yiming stood up after speaking. After getting up and walking outside, Luo Jin said that he had not been assigned a task yet.Jiang Yiming asked him to look after the house.

Wu Jiang and Xiao Ke went to Hedong Detention Center to interrogate Yang Si. Although he had been sentenced to death, he had not yet been approved by the Supreme Court for execution.Facing Wu Jiang and Xiao Ke, he said that no one instigated him to murder Yang Min. The method of murdering Yang Min was told to her by Shi Xiangqi inadvertently. Because she had played the role of the victim before, he kept it in mind, and then hired Guan Renqing to murder Yang Min. Yang Min's family.

Wu Jiang and Xiao Ke interrogated him for a whole day, both soft and hard, but he remained tight-lipped and hard to dissolve.Judging from his expression, it seemed that no one was really behind the scenes.Wu Jiang felt that it was almost impossible to instruct him to kill his brother and his family behind the scenes, unless he had a strong desire to murder. In the end, they gave up this clue.

The next day, they went to interrogate Gu Shitong.After not seeing Gu Shitong for more than a month, he suddenly looked much older. Wu Jiang visually estimated that he had lost at least 10 pounds. His expression was haggard and his whole body was weak, as if he were made of dough.It can be seen that his desire to survive is very strong. If someone is looking forward to death, his eyes will not be full of anxiety and fear, and he will not lose so much weight at once.

Gu Shitong was surprised to see Wu Jiang and Xiao Ke: "Two police officers, isn't my case closed?"

"No, the case is far from over. The Bai Lu you murdered was the target of someone else's murder, and you became the scapegoat.
Fierce executioner, this is not groundless. Do you know the murder case of Yang Min's family?Yang Min and Bai Lu were colleagues from the Maritime Safety Administration 18 years ago. It would be more accurate to say that Bai Lu was Yang Min’s killer..."

"What? How is this possible? I have been dating Bai Lu for so long, but I have never heard Bai Lu say that she once worked in the Maritime Safety Administration." Gu Shitong looked at Wu Jiang in confusion, not believing what he said, so he interrupted What Wu Jiang said.

"It was an unspeakable incident of malfeasance. On the night of September 1999, 9, Bai Lu received a distress call from a fishing boat in distress to the duty room of the Maritime Safety Administration. She reported to Yang Min and asked the rescue ship to go out to sea to rescue people, but Yang Min Min and the other three watchmen drank a lot and were afraid that going to sea for rescue would lead to death, so they refused to go to sea. Bai Lu had no choice but to unplug the phone line..."

"Can you blame Bai Lu?" He was dissatisfied on Bai Lu's behalf.

"Bai Lu is definitely guilty. If this happened, we must be held accountable now, even criminally. After you were arrested by us, two more murders occurred in succession. The deceased were Ding Hui and Yang Min who were drinking and playing cards together. Zeng Chunhui, in the past three months, there have been five murder cases, all of which were committed by these five derelicts. Do you think this could be a coincidence?"

"It's definitely not a coincidence..." "So, we ask you to explain clearly to us the mastermind. This is a manifestation of meritorious service. The judge will consider giving you a suspended death sentence. Suspended death may reduce your sentence. If there is still meritorious service, it cannot even be reduced to In 10 to 15 years, if you refuse to explain, you will only die, and gods will not be able to save you."

"Officer Wu, I don't have a mastermind. I planned everything myself. My killing of Bai Lu has nothing to do with anyone else. I can't slander others just because I want to survive in this world, right? Isn't that adding guilt to crime?" His face was filled with emotion. Innocent expression.

"Did you also come up with the method of drowning Bai Lu with sea water in the bathtub at home?"

"Yes... Oh, no, no, I had someone send an email to my mailbox. The content of the email was a short story, about 11000 words in total. I read the novel carefully and thought it was a very perfect murder. Method, so I followed this method, and the result... I regretted it so much. My life was so beautiful, but not more than ten days later, I was thrown into prison by you..."

Wu Jiang watched his words and expression carefully and did not find that he was lying.However, Wu Jiang was afraid that he was disguised so well that his flaws would not be easily seen, so he continued to pursue him fiercely, interrogating him from morning to evening, but found nothing.It stands to reason that committing meritorious service to save one's life is the only chance for every death row prisoner, and he must cherish it. However, why doesn't Gu Shitong cherish it?The only result is that there is no mastermind behind him.

It's a pity that Ding Ming, Ye Yayi and Wang Wen all committed suicide, otherwise it would be a good clue.When Wu Jiang and Xiao Ke walked out of the Hedong Detention Center, it was already dark.Wu Jiang called Jiang Yiming and reported to him the interrogation situation.Jiang Yiming asked them to put down this clue first and asked Lu Yingying to check Gu Shitong's mailbox to see if there was such a letter. If there was, it meant that Gu Shitong was not lying, and it was possible to trace the other party's IP address.

Jiang Yiming asked them to keep an eye on Lin Lihua and Ding Qun first to avoid long nights and dreams.Because Yang Si and Gu Shitong couldn't escape, and Lin Lihua and Ding Qun could escape at any time.Once they escape, it is difficult to catch them.

Jiang Yiming and Zhou Ting went to Luowan Village to find out the family members of the victims.

Luowan Village is located in the northeast of the city, 78 kilometers away from the urban area, under the jurisdiction of Yanming Township, and 8 kilometers away from Xiang'ao Village. It is a small fishing village near the sea. At its peak, the village had a population of more than 5000, but now it only has a population of 1500. And half of the people went to work outside, so when Jiang Yiming and Zhou Ting walked into Luowan Village, they saw more than half of them were abandoned old houses.

There are few pedestrians in this huge village, and old people and children are walking slowly on the streets. The sea breeze here is particularly strong. When the wind blows, plastic bags and pieces of paper fly all over the streets, along with dust, flying into people's eyes.Those old houses are covered with wall-creepers, the greenery is intoxicating, and the scenery is unique.

Under the leadership of police officer Liu Zhen, they arrived in front of the village committee office building. This office building was very beautifully built, with glass walls in front and six floors in total. It shone faintly in the golden morning light. A very gorgeous office building, I heard it was built with donations from an overseas Chinese in the village.

Village director Wang Rende was already standing at the door of the village committee building to greet them.

Wang Rende is a young man in his early 30s. He wears a crisp suit, shiny leather shoes, and has a short haircut. He is tall and thin, but has an upright body, as if he was from the military. He shakes hands with them vigorously and his eyes are shining. He seems like a shrewd man.

Wang Rende took them into the office, where a young and beautiful woman made tea for them, and wiped the table and chairs with a towel. There were fruits and fresh chrysanthemums and roses on the table, as if to welcome the big boss. of.

"Director Wang, are you still doing this to us? We are very pragmatic now. These fruits and flowers are a waste of money." Jiang Yiming said with a critical tone.

"Captain Jiang, you have misunderstood. These flowers and fruits are grown by the villagers themselves. They send them for free because they want to advertise their flowers and fruits. Therefore, as long as there are guests, whether they are leaders or For ordinary guests, they will send flowers and fruits.”

"Oh, that's it. I blamed you wrongly. It seems that your villagers know how to do business very well. This is the best free advertisement. I'll buy some fruit later... Director Wang, do you know Wang Liquan?" Jiang Yiming didn't want to say anything anymore. Keep chatting.
