Detective: From the Police Academy

Chapter 392 Arrest!

Li Qiuju was about to speak when Fang Yonghui and Chu Yang ran into the store.

Fang Yonghui spoke first: "Luo Da, we have carefully inquired about the surrounding area. On the morning of the 6th of this month, someone suspected to be Lei Xiaojun came to Li Qiuju's store.

At the time, he was carrying a khaki backpack and wearing a black cap. One of the witnesses was from Yangzi Village and knew Yang Bing and even greeted him, but Lei Xiaojun didn't dare to recognize him.

Chu Yang also said: "Team leader, the school security guard across the street also confirmed that Lei Xiaojun did enter this store more than half a month ago."

In this way, the facts are beyond doubt. Lei Xiaojun borrowed his brother Yang Bing's identity and returned to Xuanhua County.

Li Qiuju originally wanted to lie and was thinking about how to deal with the situation, but when she heard these words, her mind went blank and she knew that no matter how much she tried to hide it, it would be useless and she might even get herself implicated.

If she faced jail time, her son, who was still in junior high school, would be finished.

Luo Rui turned to look at her: "Li Qiuju, you should understand that we have already checked what we should check, and we also know what we should know. I advise you to answer our questions truthfully now. Otherwise, you know what the consequences will be."

Li Qiuju exhaled, wiped her tears, and cheered herself up: "Officer, answer me first, why did my husband become like that? Is he..."

Luo Rui immediately interrupted her: "I can only tell you that because your husband did something wrong, he implicated a bunch of people...

If you want to fight for your rights and seek justice for your husband, you have to help us capture Lei Xiaojun, and then go to court with those people in the identity of your husband Yang Bing.

If you still insist that the man in prison is not your husband Yang Bing, then of course you can, but you and your children may never see him again... Do you understand?"

Luo Rui continued to explain the pros and cons to her: "I'm telling you the truth, Lei Xiaojun killed someone in Yonghe City, and he used your husband Yang Bing's identity to escape back to Xuanhua County. We are rushing here to arrest him.

Li Qiuju, think about it carefully, whether it is 'Lei Xiaojun' who is serving his sentence in Yuncheng Prison, or 'Yang Bing' who escaped back to Xuanhua County.

Both of these brothers have committed crimes and have criminal records. Your husband's previous plan has long been hopeless. You should not make the same mistake again and again. For the sake of your children's future, you have to cooperate with us, the police. Your children probably don't want to see the identity of 'Yang Bing' and bear the crime of murder for the rest of their lives, right?
It’s up to you to decide how to choose.”

hiss……

He Hongyu and Feng Jianqiu, who had been standing next to each other, looked at each other, and two words popped up in their minds: heartbreaking!

Even though Luo Rui is much younger than them, he is quite good at seeing through people's minds and winning over their hearts.

If it were them, they would just beat them with a stick and then give them a candy.

A woman like Li Qiuju looks like a very tough middle-aged woman, but this method may not necessarily work.

But after being hit by Luo Rui's words, she had already collapsed in her heart.

"Yes, Xiaojun came back on the 6th of this month..." Li Qiuju sat down in the chair and completely gave up resisting.

"The two brothers had discussed that Xiaojun could only return to Xuanhua County after my husband had served his sentence. Many people in his hometown knew my husband, and he was afraid that Xiaojun would be exposed, which would be the end of him.

Xiaojun did follow his brother's instructions and worked outside.

He came back on the 6th of this month, which scared me. I thought he had changed his mind, but he didn't say anything. He just said he wanted to go back to Yangzi Village. I asked him why, and he said he had been outside for too long and missed home.

I know he is lying. Xiaojun was sold by my parents-in-law when he was a child and has been living in Yuncheng ever since. This is not his home at all.

Moreover, my parents-in-law didn't know that the two brothers had exchanged identities. After Xiaojun returned, he told my parents-in-law about this.

But he didn't say that he had killed anyone, he just said that he had committed a crime and had to hide for a while. He also said that he would stay in the village and asked us not to call him Xiaojun. He would stay for a few years as my husband. My parents-in-law always felt sorry for him, so they agreed.

I have no choice but to ignore it...

But I didn’t expect that he would actually kill someone, I…”

Luo Rui narrowed his eyes and asked, "What date did he return to Yangzi Village?"

“I went back that same day.”

"He never came out?"

Li Qiuju shook her head: "I called back and asked, and my parents-in-law said that Xiaojun hasn't been out of the house recently."

"Are you on good terms with Lei Xiaojun?"

"It's not very good, but Xiaojun is a very righteous person. The reason why he agreed to swap identities with my husband was not only because my husband gave him a sum of money, but also because he was very good to my son.

He said before that he had no plans to get married in the future, and my son is the only child of the Yang family."

Luo Rui nodded slightly and said solemnly: "Li Qiuju, can you cooperate with our police to arrest Lei Xiaojun? It's not too late to make amends, understand?"

Luo Rui had said so many persuasive words before just to explain how the arrest operation should be carried out.

He Hongyu understood the situation in Yangzi Village. The roads in this place were blocked, and people had to walk on iron chains to cross the river. After crossing, they had to climb over two hills.

Lei Xiaojun escaped back and never dared to leave the village, probably because of this reason.

Even if a large number of police officers were sent into the village to arrest the criminals, if they offended the villagers, major mistakes might occur, which would make it difficult to report.

Not to mention, even if Luo Rui really brought people into the village, judging from He Hongyu's expression, he didn't seem to be very cooperative.

Rather than taking risks, it would be better to make some effort from Li Qiuju's side.

The woman had been controlled by Luo Rui. She nodded and said, "Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

------------

The sky gradually darkened and the temperature began to drop.

A river nearly fifty meters wide stretched before everyone's eyes.

There is no bridge over this river, only two iron cables leading to the other side.

It is the dry season in winter and the river is calm, but in the rainy season in summer, the river water rises sharply, which is particularly scary.

Listening to the sound of flowing water, Lin Chen's eyes widened: "Why not build a bridge?"

Luo Rui curled his lips: "What's the difference between what you asked and the question asked by Emperor Hui of Jin: Why don't you eat meat?"

Lin Chen sighed and said, "It's not like you can't even come up with this little money, right?"

A police officer from the local police station replied: "It's not a question of whether to build a bridge or not. When the mountains were closed for afforestation, the county wanted to relocate the village, but the villagers had lived in the mountains for generations and they just didn't want to. What can we do?

It's not just ours. How many villages are there like this in the whole country?"

"So that's the reason." Lin Chen understood: "In other words, the local authorities deliberately didn't build the bridge?"

Luo Rui was too lazy to listen to her arguing about this. He looked at the time and said, "There is still more than an hour left. We can't keep waiting here. We need a few more people to go to the other side."

Fang Yonghui rubbed his palms: "Luo Da, I'll go over."

Chu Yang also said: "I'll go too."

He Hongyu on the side quickly waved his hand: "There's no need for you, just let the police officers go over there, they are used to it, if you two fall into the river, it will be terrible."

Fang Yonghui retorted: "Captain He, you underestimated us. In the afternoon, I saw a few children carrying baskets and easily crossing the river on the iron chain. No matter what I say..."

Luo Rui waved his hand: "Don't argue, just listen to Captain He."

So, four policemen from the local police station put on their equipment, put on gloves, and stepped onto the iron chain.

There are two iron ropes, one above and one below, each thicker than a thumb, and the top one has two pulleys hanging on it.

The police officers easily climbed over in the dark.

After reaching the other side, the four people immediately found a place to hide.

Seeing that they were ready, Luo Rui turned to look at Li Qiuju: "Ms. Li, I hope you..."

Li Qiuju looked a little nervous and replied, "I...I know what to do."

"Okay then." Luo Rui looked at Lin Chen: "You are responsible for her safety. Don't make any mistakes."

"Director Luo, don't worry." Lin Chen blinked.

Afterwards, the group hid in the grass on the shore.

The plan was this: Li Qiuju called Lei Xiaojun during the day and said that she would be returning to the village in the evening and had a lot of things to bring with her. She couldn't cross the river by herself and needed him to pick her up.

This is a very common thing in Yangzi Village. Whenever villagers go to the town to attend the market, they will anticipate how much they want to buy and how many people will go.

After all, the things a person can carry when crossing a river are limited. If the load exceeds the limit, he can only make two round trips. Not to mention, if he carries too many things, he may fall into the river, which would not be worth the effort.

It doesn't mean that the only way to enter the village is by these two iron ropes. In fact, there is a stone bridge five kilometers downstream. But to get back to Yangzi Village from there, you have to walk at least ten more kilometers. So in order to avoid taking a detour, the villagers of Yangzi Village all cross the river on the iron ropes.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Li Qiuju took out her mobile phone and called Lei Xiaojun.

The call was answered quickly.

"Hey, Xiaojun, you haven't come yet?"

"It will take a while, sister-in-law, please wait."

"Okay, remember to bring the backpack, there are a lot of things..."

"I'm taking it with me."

After she finished speaking, Li Qiuju hung up the phone. Lin Chen, who was standing nearby, took Li Qiuju's phone after not hearing any problem.

"Ms. Li, remember, don't do anything rash. Think about your son who is in junior high school."

"I see."

Then, Lin Chen stepped aside and squatted down with Luo Rui.

Time passed slowly, until half an hour later, the light of a flashlight appeared on the hillside, staggering down the mountain.

Luo Rui held the intercom in his hand and said to the police on the other side: "Don't wait for him to cross the river, arrest him as soon as he arrives!"

"Understood!" the other party replied.

Seeing a figure carrying a bamboo basket appear on the other side of the river, everyone's heart was in their throat.

When the figure was still a dozen steps away from the iron chain, a loud shout came from the other side of the river.

"stop!"

"do not move!"

"Lei Xiaojun, we are the police, don't run!"

"Press him!"

………………

Luo Rui's people rushed out at once, staring at the other side. A figure was being held down by three policemen, and the flashlights were shaking and shining randomly, so Luo Rui and his group on the other side could not see clearly.

But then, with a "bang", a sharp gunshot pierced the night sky.

Luo Rui's heart trembled. Before they could react, someone on the other side suddenly shouted, "There's another person..."

"Quick, catch him, he's trying to grab my gun!"

"boom!"

Another gunshot!
While He Hongyu and Feng Jianqiu were still confused, Luo Rui had already climbed up the iron rope, with Fang Yonghui and Chu Yang following closely behind him.

Luo Rui had never encountered this way of crossing the river before. By the time he reached the other side with difficulty, nearly five or six minutes had passed.

As soon as his feet touched the ground, he hurried to the fallen man: "Are you okay?"

The police officer who fell to the ground said miserably: "That bastard hit me in the waist."

Luo Rui took a look at his wound and ignored him, rushing straight up the mountain.

The other three policemen were also chasing the two fleeing figures.

Luo Rui was very fast and took out a gun from his waist.

As he passed a fat policeman, the man gasped, "They took my gun..."

Luo Rui knew this man. He was the deputy director of the local police station. He was very fat, probably because he had been sitting in the office for too long and his legs and feet were weak.

At this moment, he was not worried about his police officers, but was afraid that his service gun would be lost. If it were not for this, he probably would not have chased forward at this risk of his life.

Luo Rui also felt that his physical fitness had declined due to lack of exercise in the provincial department in the past two months, but he ran fast and left three policemen behind him. Seeing the two figures in front of him fleeing to the other side of the mountainside, Luo Rui raised his gun without hesitation.

"boom!"

"boom!"

Luo Rui knelt on one leg and pulled the trigger twice in succession.

Seeing a figure in front of him fall down, revealing the back of the person in front, he pulled the trigger again.

"boom!"

The person in front fell directly on the slope, rolled down several times, and was blocked by a stone.

At this time, Fang Yonghui and Chu Yang passed by Luo Rui, holding a gun in one hand and a flashlight in the other.

Chu Yang checked the man who was hit by the bullet first. Seeing that he had no weapon in his hand and his injury was not serious, he immediately turned back and reported: "Safe, this man is Lei Xiaojun!"

Fang Yonghui ran down the slope, and before he could stand firm, he saw the man lying in front of the stone raising his hand.

Fang Yonghui's heart tightened, and he kicked over, just hitting the man's wrist. Then, the gun in the man's hand was thrown into the ditch.

"Damn it, you stole a gun and attacked a police officer. You are so brave!"

Fang Yonghui turned over and pressed down on the man's back.

The police officers who rushed over also swarmed over and held the man down, some pulling his arms and some stretching his legs.

The deputy director slid down the mountain and before he could stand up, he grunted and grabbed the man's hair, lifted his head up, and hit the man's face with the flashlight in his hand.

"Damn it! I was wondering who was so brave. It was you, Lao Yang!"

"Bah, let me go, how dare you arrest me, the youngest one!"

"You are crazy. Your youngest son killed someone outside, and not only did you refuse to cooperate with our police in arresting him, you even dared to snatch my gun. You really want to kill yourself!"

"Let me go, I didn't kill anyone, you're talking nonsense..."

"You people in Yangzi Village are really lawless. If I don't talk to you, you will be in big trouble." The deputy director stood up and slid quickly to the bottom of the ditch, ready to retrieve his pistol.

Luo Rui had just put away his gun when Feng Jianqiu and He Hongyu climbed up the mountain.

"Director Luo, are you okay?"

"They are the ones in trouble." Luo Rui nodded at the two suspects who were being handcuffed.

"What happened?" Feng Jianqiu asked. He just glanced at the fallen policeman and saw that he was not seriously injured, so he immediately ran up the mountain.

A policeman from the police station saw that he was being stared at by three pairs of eyes and dared not say a word.

Fortunately, after the deputy director picked up the gun, he ran up again, leaned on the stone, and said breathlessly: "The situation is like this, didn't Director Luo say that we should arrest Lei Xiaojun as soon as he shows up?
When we saw Lei Xiaojun, we immediately started to capture him. We had originally pinned him down, but who knew that this bastard... Yang Shusen was hiding behind us. He is the father of Yang Bing and Lei Xiaojun, and he used to be a hunter.

Yang Shusen quietly came up behind me, snatched my gun, and then fired two shots at us.

One shot hit our policeman, and the other shot missed, so... this time the father and son got away..."

Hearing this, Luo Rui sneered: "Are you saying that I shouldn't give you blind orders and randomly order you to arrest them as soon as possible?"

The deputy director didn't even dare to look at him and quickly waved his hands: "Director Luo, you misunderstood, that's not what I meant."

"Then the responsibility this time..."

As the captain of the detachment, He Hongyu hurriedly said upon hearing this: "This has nothing to do with Director Luo. It was you who didn't pay attention to the suspect's situation, which led to the arrest error. But fortunately, the person was captured..."

Before He Hongyu finished speaking, he saw the deputy director holding a gun and quickly pushed him: "How many years have you been a policeman? Why are you reaching for a gun~!?"

"I……"

"There are fingerprints on it. Did you know that? How are you going to explain this to your superiors? How are you going to write the report? You..."

He Hongyu wanted to kick him.

At this time, the two suspects had been brought up and Luo Rui was asked to identify their faces.

Lei Xiaojun was shot in the thigh and was limping on one leg. Chu Yang straightened his head and shone a beam of flashlight on his face.

This man looks exactly like Yang Bing from Yuncheng Prison, with no difference at all.

"What's your name?" Luo Rui asked immediately.

"My name is Yang..."

"Think it over carefully first!" Luo Rui said coldly.

Feng Jianqiu was very excited when he saw that the suspect who killed Zhang Liang was caught. He also shouted: "Let me tell you, we are from the Criminal Police Detachment of Yonghe City, Haidong Province. You should know why we arrested you?!"

----------

The next day, in the interrogation room of the City Criminal Police Detachment.

"My name is Lei Xiaojun. I was born in Yangzi Village, Xuanhua County, Guizhou Province. But my biological parents sold me to Wu County, Yuncheng when I was two years old, so I am considered a Yuncheng person."

At this time, after Lei Xiaojun's injuries were simply bandaged, he began to be interrogated remotely.

Luo Rui's shooting skills were very good, the bullet avoided the vital parts, and the bullet only grazed his skin and flesh, which only required a slight stitch.

Feng Jianqiu, one of the chief judges, asked first: "Do you know why we arrested you?"

Lei Xiaojun nodded: "I know, I killed someone."

After hearing what he said, Feng Jianqiu glanced at Luo Rui and immediately felt relieved. For a policeman, there was nothing more wonderful than the suspect himself admitting to the crime.

"Kill who?"

"Zhang Jing."

"anything else?"

Lei Xiaojun looked at Feng Jianqiu's eyes and said, "I just killed this woman."

"You're lying! Lei Xiaojun, let me tell you, you and your brother Yang Bing have violated the law by exchanging identities. And last night, you resisted arrest and escaped, causing injuries to the police officers in Xuanhua County. These crimes are no joke!

I advise you to tell the truth. Besides killing the victim Zhang Jing, who else did you kill?"

Lei Xiaojun was a little confused: "Didn't I tell you that I only killed one person? You can't frame me!"

"You insist on holding on to the evidence even though it's not in front of you, right? Well, tell me, where did you dump Zhang Jing's body?"

Lei Xiaojun swallowed his saliva and replied, "In the well behind the Chengbei Bus Station in Yonghe City."

"you sure?"

"Yes."

Just as Feng Jianqiu was about to get angry, Luo Rui kicked him lightly under the table.

After arresting Lei Xiaojun last night, Feng Jianqiu immediately notified the Yonghe Municipal Bureau. Li Xu must have told him something, otherwise, he would not have confused the priorities and arrested the first corpse found in the well.

Luo Rui understood what he was thinking. He hadn't said anything before because he wanted to see if Lei Xiaojun was related to the first corpse. But it was obvious that the other party was not lying. This case was most likely nothing to do with him.

Luo Rui ignored Feng Jianqiu's gaze and looked at the suspect, getting the interrogation back on track: "Lei Xiaojun, tell me why you wanted to kill Zhang Liang."

"I didn't mean to kill her..."

Lei Xiaojun sniffed, his eyes reddened: "It's all Peng Tao's fault. Peng Tao borrowed a lot of money from me, and he never paid it back. I had no choice but to find his lover.

On the night of December 3rd, I went to Baita Community to find Jiang Mei. I thought, if Peng Tao didn't return the money, I would ask Jiang Mei for it. Anyway, I couldn't let this guy have an easy time.

But Zhang Jing, the woman who opened the door, also had a good relationship with Peng Tao.

Both the aunt and nephew had had sex with Peng Tao...

I am jealous. I wonder why no one likes me. Is it just because he is good-looking?

Zhang Jing knew me, and I took advantage of her off guard and wanted to fuck her.

She resisted, and there was nothing I could do. I used a kitchen knife to scare her, but I accidentally hit her on the head.

I was scared and afraid that the police would catch me, so I ran back to the auto repair shop, got some disinfectant, and returned to Jiang Mei's house to clean up the blood stains. This disinfectant is very useful. I usually use it to clean stains in my car.

After I cleared all traces in the house, I took her away in a suitcase. I knew there was a well behind the bus station, so I threw the body into the well. "

Lei Xiaojun stopped talking and started to shed tears, seeming to regret what he had done.

Luo Rui did not feel a trace of sympathy in his heart, but stared at him intently: "When you dumped the body, was Zhang Jing still alive?"
