Detective: From the Police Academy

Chapter 340 Pull the rolling door and take action!
At dawn, all criminal police officers from Linjiang City and the three major branches were mobilized to start the operation to solve the [407 Major Murder Case].

Luo Rui only slept for an hour and got into the police car with red eyes.

Lin Chen also did not sleep all night. She stayed up all night and made a profile report of the suspect.

"Team Leader, do you think my analysis is correct?"

Luo Rui sat in the passenger seat and Tian Guanghan drove the car. They were going to the No. 1 Middle School in the city where the victim Xin Xiaoju studied to investigate the situation.

Cai Xiaojing's job was to receive the family of the victim Xin Wanchun, hoping that they would be able to provide more clues after their emotions stabilized, so she rushed to the funeral home before dawn.

After Luo Rui took the document from Lin Chen, he read it out loud:
[Preliminary speculation: In the 407 major murder case, the suspect was a middle-aged man with a height of 65 to 75 meters and a weight of to kilograms. He wore green liberation shoes. It was speculated that his financial ability was not very good. Moreover, when he committed the crime, he carried the murder weapon and a mask with him, which should be a premeditated murder.

The victim, Xin Wanchun, had no defensive injuries and was hacked to death when he was caught off guard. There were no signs of a struggle at the scene. It is speculated that the suspect knew the victim, but this person was not aware of Xin Wanchun's family structure, so that the victim's youngest son, Xin Xin, escaped.

The suspect's knife was powerful and heavy, and he killed multiple people in a row. He must be a regular knife user. After killing people, he cleaned up the scene and closed the door of the brick factory to delay the discovery of the bodies. He has a certain anti-reconnaissance ability and may have fled.

After listening to the story, Tian Guanghan said while driving: "If you ask me, the murderer must be a former worker in the brick factory. The fact that he was wearing Liberation shoes can rule out a lot of people."

Lin Chen retorted: "If that's what you said, then this person also carried a cloud-avoiding suit with him. Why did he carry this thing? If it were me, I think the murderer must have come for Zou Fang or Xin Xiaoju. It's very likely that he is someone Xin Xiaoju knows."

Tian Guanghan curled his lips and said, "Lin Chen, don't forget that Xin Xiaoju is a junior high school student. The only people she knows are teachers, classmates and workers in the brick factory. So, if we talk about teachers and students, how can they not wear liberation shoes? Isn't that the truth?

Xin Wanchun's brick factory is in decline now, but I heard that a few years ago, when he was prosperous, there were hundreds of people in the factory, many of whom were illegal workers without contracts, and there were also many young people who dropped out of school working under him.

These people all know their family, and the mother and daughter are both pretty, so it's normal for one or two of them to have bad intentions towards Zou Fang or Xin Xiaoju."

Lin Chen rolled his eyes immediately: "Forget it, what you said is so disgusting. I'm telling you, Lao Tian, ​​if you don't keep your mouth shut, I refuse to investigate with you."

"Don't be unwilling to listen. I am telling you the truth. There are many cases more disgusting than this one. You are still young and have little experience..."

"Old Tian, ​​I just want to say one thing."

"Oh?" Tian Guanghan glanced at the rearview mirror: "Can you convince me of this?"

Lin Chen chuckled: "Look, we're going to visit Xin Xiaoju's school, so our team leader won't go anywhere else, why does he have to go with us?"

Hearing this, Tian Guanghan raised his eyebrows and looked at Luo Rui, who was resting with his eyes closed: "Team leader, you don't agree with Lin Chen's opinion that the murderer is Xin Xiaoju's classmates and teachers, do you?"

"Nonsense!" Luo Rui didn't even open his eyes and replied, "He used to use a knife to kill five people in a row. That's it. Which teacher or student can do this?"

Tian Guanghan grinned: "Lin Chen, you see, the team leader also agrees with my opinion."

"I didn't say it had to be done by a teacher or a student. Why are you so proud?" Lin Chen thought for a moment and said, "But it's very unusual for the murderer to carry a cloud-avoiding mask with him. Usually, it's only committed by rapists..."

"Who said this thing must have been brought by the murderer?" At this time, Luo Rui opened his eyes and interrupted.

"what?"

"Uh?"

Lin Chen and Tian Guanghan looked at him at the same time: "No, Team Leader, isn't this what you said in the meeting before?"

"Is everything I said right?" Luo Rui rolled his eyes. "Can't I refute myself? During the entire case meeting, no one spoke. I was the only one talking nonsense. For such an important clue, no one refuted me. I feel chilled just thinking about it.

You two, as the core members of our criminal team, should chat more and think deeply about the problems.

Think about it, is it possible that this cloud-avoiding suit belongs to Xin Xiaoju?"

"Ah?" Tian Guanghan was surprised: "But...how old is she?"

He turned around hurriedly: "Lin Chen, you just started working not long ago, and you are a few years older than Xin Xiaoju. Do you think this is reliable?"

"What do you mean by 'I'? I'm telling you, Old Tian, ​​you are disrespectful to your elders. Whenever you find an excuse to tease someone, you bring it up with our female police officer. I'm going to file a complaint against you."

"Oh my god, I'm just asking about serious matters, what are you thinking?!"

Lin Chen thought for a moment and said seriously, "I don't know either. When we were in school, girls were very reserved. I didn't find any girl would..."

Luo Rui shook his head: "You have good grades, and those with good grades hang out together. Those with poor grades may not be able to play with you. I looked in Xin Xiaoju's bedroom, and the walls were covered with Xin Xin's certificates, but Xin Xiaoju didn't have a single certificate."

Lin Chen suddenly realized: "Team Leader, you came here with me and Lao Tian just to find out about this matter?"

"We have to find out the murderer's motive for murder. Otherwise, after we catch him, we won't have many clues and will be controlled by the murderer. During the interrogation, we can't just believe everything he says."

"The team leader is still careful."

Tian Guanghan also laughed happily: "See, the team leader is considering the interrogation. Our team leader is determined to catch the person."

Lin Chen pouted: "We may not be able to rescue the person. Didn't you see that as soon as the meeting ended in the early morning, the Kang Branch led people straight to the train station and bus station, and our city bureau's special police followed them."

Tian Guanghan sighed: "He is the captain of the detachment, and his position is higher than our team leader. Logically, we should all listen to him."

Luo Rui immediately said: "Don't sow discord. The higher-ups have issued a death order to solve the case within a time limit. The Kang detachment is also anxious. We are all on the same front and there is no distinction between the two. No matter who catches the murderer, it is for the victim to be vindicated.

Let me tell you, the only son of Kang's family is about the same age as Xin Xin. As a father, what do you think when he sees that child? "

"Indeed!" Tian Guanghan nodded hurriedly: "I saw the scene of the bedroom on the second floor of the brick factory yesterday afternoon, and suddenly I thought of my daughter...

Bah, bah...what nonsense am I talking about! My mouth!"

Tian Guanghan quickly slapped himself twice.

……

……

No. 1 Middle School is a key school in Linjiang City.

When Luo Rui and his friends arrived, it was just the time when students were going to school, and students in school uniforms gathered at the gate.

The school is a closed school. Once you enter the school, you are not allowed to come out for the whole day except under special circumstances. So before class time, students wander around the canteen near the entrance.

Tian Guanghan parked the car far away to avoid attracting the attention of students and their parents.

Luo Rui and the other two got out of the car and walked over. Lin Chen held a document and introduced as he walked: "Xin Xiaoju is a student in Class 8 of the third grade of junior high school. This class is a key class. The head teacher is Zhang Qiu, a female teacher."

Luo Rui nodded slightly, but Tian Guanghan was surprised and asked, "Students in the key class still have such poor grades?"

"I gave her money." Lin Chen replied, "Xin Xiaoju is a transfer student. She transferred to the No. 1 Middle School in the city when she was in the second year of junior high school."

After all the students entered the school, Luo Rui showed his ID to the school guard room and only entered the school after they informed the leaders.

At this time, the school did not have a dedicated police officer in charge, so the arrival of the police, especially the criminal police from the Municipal Bureau, made the security guards immediately alert.

"Three officers, please wait a moment. Our school's dean has come downstairs and will be here soon."

"Row."

After a while, a middle-aged man with a bald head and glasses came trotting over. Although he had an eager smile on his face, his brows were furrowed.

In addition to him, there were two male teachers, who should have been called here by him.

"Comrades from the Municipal Bureau?"

"We are from the city's criminal police detachment, and this is our deputy detachment commander Luo." As a qualified subordinate, Tian Guanghan quickly brought out Luo Rui's identity and title.

Upon hearing this, the leading dean was overwhelmed. Deputy captain?
So young? In addition to a hint of curiosity, he also felt worried. How could the deputy detachment come here in person?
He quickly recalled it in his head: "No, police comrade, nothing happened in our school recently?"

Lin Chen said: "We are here to look for Teacher Zhang Qiu. Please cooperate with us."

"Of course, of course, but you have to tell me what happened, otherwise I won't be able to explain to the higher-ups."

"I can only tell you that we are investigating a criminal case..."

Before Lin Chen finished speaking, Luo Rui said bluntly: "Xin Xiaoju, a student in Class 8 of the third grade of your school, and her parents were killed, along with two workers who lived in their brick factory. Do you understand?"

Upon hearing this, the dean broke out in a cold sweat.

The two male teachers behind him were also stunned.

"There is a principle of confidentiality in criminal cases. Since you asked and I answered, you will sign a confidentiality agreement. You can tell your boss, but you also need to sign a confidentiality agreement. And if this matter leaks out from your mouth, you will be held responsible."

The dean felt regretful for speaking too much.

As long as nothing happened at school, your city criminal police detachment can look for anyone they want.

Immediately, he did not dare to delay and led Luo Rui and his group to the faculty office.

"Um... Teacher Zhang Qiu, the Municipal Bureau... No, there are comrades from above who want to see you. All other teachers in the office, please leave."

Before everyone could react, the dean quickly kicked the teachers out of the office and considerately closed the door.

Zhang Qiu is a middle-aged female teacher, serious and rigid. She was also a little puzzled, especially when she saw the dean of studies running away as if he were avoiding a snake or scorpion, she felt very nervous.

After all, she was the one who taught the key class at the No. 1 Middle School in the city. Many parents of the students in this class were well-known figures in the city. Did she offend anyone by complaining in her heart?
But Luo Rui immediately dispelled her thoughts: "Teacher Zhang, please don't be nervous. We are from the city criminal police detachment. My name is Luo Rui. We are here this time to ask about Xin Xiaoju, a student in your class."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Qiu immediately asked, "Did something happen to her?"

"Why do you ask?"

"She didn't come to school yesterday. I called her home several times but no one answered. I was planning to visit her home after school today." Luo Rui sat down in a chair and sighed, "You guessed right. Something happened to her. That's why we are here."

"Are you criminal police?"

"Yes, I just said that."

"What happened to Xin Xiaoju?" Zhang Qiu stood up from his chair suddenly, knocking over the thermos cup on the table.

The look of concern she showed for her students didn't seem fake.

Luo Rui stood up the thermos cup: "She is dead, along with her family, so her parents can't answer your call."

For a moment, Zhang Qiu didn't move, but his expression suddenly stiffened.

After a long silence, Zhang Qiu choked in his throat, his eyes turned red, and he sat down in a daze.

The reason why Luo Rui revealed the case information was that he did not think the matter could be concealed. Xin Wanchun's family was murdered. Such a big thing would be known to everyone in the city within a day or two.

In order to attract Zhang Qiu's attention and to let her know the seriousness of the matter, Luo Rui did not intend to hide it.

What confidentiality agreement? The level of confidentiality of the police is that the case details and the investigation process will not be leaked. Wherever a murder happens, it will definitely be spread by nearby residents, not to mention such a big case that it cannot be covered up.

After Zhang Qiu recovered, Luo Rui nodded to Lin Chen, who handed him a set of prepared questions.

Luo Rui asked: "Teacher Zhang, did Xin Xiaoju have any abnormal behavior on April 6th?"

Zhang Qiu took a breath, suppressed his emotions, and replied, "I'm sorry, I failed in my duty. This child's grades are not very good, and she is also very stubborn. I arranged her to sit in the last row. On April 6, I didn't notice that she was any different from usual.

Besides, she was a day student, so I didn't pay much attention to her except during class time.

However, I heard something from her classmates: Xiaoju fell in love too early, and the person she loved was outside the school."

"Can this be confirmed?"

"This... I'll call that classmate over and you can ask him in person."

"Okay, thank you for your help." Luo Rui responded and saw Zhang Qiu stand up and walk towards the door. After opening the door, she closed it again.

Tian Guanghan walked to the door and pushed it open a crack, but saw that Zhang Qiu did not go to the classroom immediately. Instead, he squatted in the corridor, covering his face with his hands and crying loudly.

Tian Guanghan closed the door gently and sighed in a low voice: "It's not easy to be a teacher. There are good teachers and bad teachers. Teacher Zhang must feel that he didn't take good care of this child on weekdays. How come he couldn't bear it when he heard that Xin Xiaoju's family was gone?"

Lin Chen replied: "Think about it, how many teachers can encounter such a thing? Anyway, Teacher Zhang is still conscientious."

Not long after, Zhang Qiu put his arm around a girl's shoulder and brought her into the office.

The girl has delicate features and a timid expression.

Zhang Qiu said, "Don't be afraid, kid. Tell me again what you told me that day."

Luo Rui noticed that the girl was just pretending to be scared. Her eyes were darting around among them, revealing a strong curiosity.

"Is it about Xin Xiaoju?"

"Yes." Lin Chen replied: "Tell us in detail."

"who are you?"

Zhang Qiu said, "Don't worry about it. Hurry up and tell the police what you know."

Upon hearing this, Luo Rui, Lin Chen and Tian Guanghan all looked disheartened.

Sure enough, the girl opened her mouth into an O shape and immediately said, "I knew something was going to happen to Xin Xiaoju. Look, the police are here."

She was a little proud of her thoughts. Before Luo Rui could speak, she started talking to herself: "Xin Xiaoju fell in love prematurely. Her boyfriend is a gangster outside the school. He is several years older than her. And I saw with my own eyes that she went into the game hall outside the school with a long-haired yellow-haired guy."

Luo Rui stared at her: "Are you sure?"

"Of course I'm sure. I'm not the only one who saw it. Many of our classmates saw it. Xin Xiaoju's academic performance is not good and she often makes trouble for us. Many boys in our class like her. Isn't she just prettier than us? No, she's more mature..."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Teacher Zhang quickly scolded her, his voice choking with sobs: "Xiao Ju..."

Luo Rui shook his head and stopped her from talking: "My classmate, what's the name of this early love of Xin Xiaoju you mentioned? Where does he live?"

"I don't know their names, and I have no idea where they live, but there's a group of them who hang out in the game room at the intersection of the school in the afternoon and evening. They're easy to spot. This guy has a pierced left ear and a cross on his ear. He looks neither male nor female."

"Okay, thank you, you can go now."

"Uncle police, can I ask what happened to Xin Xiaoju?"

Luo Rui raised his eyebrows: "Do you want to know?"

"Of course, she's my best friend."

Zhang Qiu sighed, "Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask. Go back to class. By the way, you can't tell other classmates about this. If you tell anyone, I will...I will call your parents."

"Okay." The girl left angrily, and before leaving, she looked back at Lin Chen and Luo Rui.

After Luo Rui said goodbye to Teacher Zhang, the three of them went to the game hall on the street.

Although it is called a game hall, it is actually a billiard hall and an illegal internet cafe.

There are two nine-ball tables in the room outside, and two rows of game consoles against the wall. The innermost room, which is 100 meters away, is the Internet cafe.

At this time, the people who can hang out here are almost all gangsters and dropouts.

As soon as they entered the door, Luo Rui and the other two quickly covered their noses.

It was absolutely smoky in here, and there was no exhaust vent, so the room was filled with the pungent smell of smoke.

Three Shamatte guys were holding pool cues, smoking and playing pool. There were three stacks of playing cards and a pack of Marlboro cigarettes on the edge of the table.

When they saw Luo Rui and Tian Guanghan, the three shamattes just glanced at them with contempt. It was no wonder they looked at everyone in the same contemptuous manner.

But when his eyes moved to Lin Chen, a young man with a green hat on his forehead whistled and laughed evilly.

In the game room to the left of the billiard table, there were also a few people playing on the arcade machines. They were all malnourished and looked like they could be blown down by a gust of wind.

Seeing them, Luo Rui sighed, and Tian Guanghan also sighed.

The most difficult people to deal with are this group of people. They are not old enough and cannot take action. They are young and hot-tempered, and look down on everything. They will just come up and punch anyone they don't like.

Luo Rui cleared his throat, walked to the pool table, and asked, "Everyone, I want to ask you something."

As he spoke, he took out a Zhonghua cigarette from his pocket and handed one to each of the three young masters.

"Hey, Huazi." The green-haired man exclaimed: "Tell me, buddy, what's the matter?"

"I want to ask you about someone." Luo Rui took out a lighter and helped Green Hair light his cigarette. Because he was nearly 1.85 meters tall and the other party was only 1.6 meters tall, he had to stoop down.

Seeing this, Lin Chen rolled his eyes and whispered to Tian Guanghan, "Does our team leader need to be polite to them?"

"So what tricks do you have? You have never worked at the grassroots level. The biggest headache for grassroots police officers is not only the trivial matters of the residents in the jurisdiction, but also the most difficult ones to deal with are these people. You can't beat them, but if you scold them, they will scold you back. The crimes they committed are not serious, so most of the time, they can only be left unresolved. In serious cases, they are sent to correctional institutions, but they are released again in a few days.

You should notify his parents. They will still make a fuss with you. If they don’t make a fuss, they will just say, “You put him in jail and we will let him go.” If these people really do something, they are bolder than adults.

Especially in some counties and towns, people like them are the biggest headache for the police in the area! "

Although Tian Guanghan's voice was small, it could be heard faintly by the three Shamattes.

Luo Rui turned around and glared at Tian Guanghan, then turned his head and smiled: "Is Huangmao here?"

"Yellow-haired?" Green-haired's pupils shrank: "Why are you looking for him?"

Seeing that this guy was looking into the Internet cafe, Luo Rui understood what was going on.

"Well, Huangmao is my cousin..."

Luo Rui coaxed while gesturing with one hand behind his back.

Tian Guanghan and Lin Chen nodded slightly, and the two of them walked around the pool table and went into the inner room.

"I haven't heard that Huangmao has a cousin?" Green-haired frowned, and when he saw what Tian Guanghan and the others were doing, he got a chill in his heart and quickly stopped in front of Tian Guanghan: "What do you want to do?"

"Get lost!"

Tian Guanghan pushed him in the face with his big hand. The boy staggered and squatted on the ground. He suddenly shouted loudly: "Brothers, someone is looking for trouble, close the door! Call Brother Huangmao, grab your weapons, and kill them!"

As they were talking, the two shamattes in front of the pool table ran to the door, jumped up, grabbed the base of the rolling door with both hands, and pulled it down with all their strength.

"Wow!"

With a sharp sound, the lights in the billiard room dimmed.

Before Lin Chen could react, he saw a group of thugs armed with sticks running out of the Internet cafe.
