Detective: From the Police Academy

Chapter 447: Luo Yanwang is here, and all the bosses ran away!
The next day, afternoon.

A Coaster was parked in the yard of the Wucheng Municipal Bureau.

Yang Lixin and Xi Juan, who had been waiting for a long time, hurried forward and smiled the moment the car door opened.

"Welcome, Mr. Luo, come to our Wucheng to guide and assist in the [10*3 case]."

Luo Rui got out of the car, nodded, and shook hands with the two men: "Director Yang, Captain Xi, don't be so polite."

"Lunch is ready, let's eat first." Yang Lixin made a gesture of invitation.

Although he had met Yang Lixin in a video conference yesterday, now that he saw him in person, Luo Rui felt that this man was a bit smooth.

Such a heinous shooting incident happened in Wucheng City, but Yang Lixin did not seem to be in a hurry. Besides him, Xi Juan, the detachment leader, did not show much expression either.

"How about this..." Luo Rui said, "Send the meal to the conference room, and we can talk while we eat, okay?"

"This..." Yang Lixin nodded: "Mr. Luo is very busy and he doesn't forget about work even when he's eating. Well, let's talk while we eat."

The crowd parted, with Yang Lixin leading the way. Luo Rui and his group, carrying briefcases and standing tall, walked towards the building.

Lin Chen and Qiao Xue followed Luo Rui side by side. Lin Chen frowned and muttered, "Why do I feel like there's something wrong with the way these people look at us?"

Hearing this, Qiao Xue turned her head slightly and saw the policemen walking on both sides. They seemed very cautious and kept glancing at them out of the corner of their eyes from time to time.

Qiao Xue replied: "Maybe Mr. Luo is too famous."

Lin Chen shook his head: "No, I feel like they have an expression as if they are watching a show."

"Watch a show?" Qiao Xue pondered.

After that, the two stopped talking, and at this moment, a group of people walked into the conference room on the third floor.

The crowd sat on both sides, representing the Yunnan Provincial Public Security Department and the Urumqi Municipal Public Security Bureau.

Luo Rui frowned slightly, feeling that the other party obviously wanted to distance himself from him.

In that case, Luo Rui didn't say anything. He approached Chu Yang and talked, but had no intention of paying attention to him.

Seeing this, Yang Lixin on the opposite side looked slightly bitter and also chatted with the detachment leader Xi Juan.

The atmosphere was a bit awkward. If anyone was feeling uncomfortable, the people from the Wucheng Municipal Bureau were the most uncomfortable.

Soon, the city bureau canteen brought the food, including one meat dish, one vegetable dish and a soup.

Yang Lixin then smiled and said, "Mr. Luo, please have dinner."

Luo Rui smiled slightly and nodded to the people on his side, meaning that it was time to eat.

The meal was extremely uncomfortable, and Yang Lixin and Xi Juan had no appetite at all.

Luo Rui, on the other hand, held the chopsticks, ate the food slowly and leisurely, and made comments from time to time.

"This salad is good. It has cashews in it."

Lin Chen replied: "Mr. Luo, you can eat more cashews. I heard they are good for sexual performance."

"Really?" Luo Rui smiled.

The meal took half an hour. After taking away the dishes, the staff brought tea.

Luo Rui rinsed his mouth and then stared at Yang Lixin.

"Director Yang, is there anything you can't explain? Do you really welcome me, or do you think I've caused you trouble?"

Yang Lixin sighed, and then responded to his gaze: "Mr. Luo, let me be frank. When they heard that you were coming, all the entrepreneurs in Wucheng City, big and small, ran away."

"What?" Luo Rui didn't understand.

Yang Lixin complained: "This morning, I went to the city and heard about this. Although our Wucheng City is a small place, there are many wealthy people who are ranked among the best in the province. When they heard that you were coming, these people ran away without delay.

Originally, these people abandoned some projects that the city had developed in cooperation with them and went directly to other cities. For this, we were criticized by the city. "

"Oh..." Luo Rui felt a little toothache.

Lin Chen, Qiao Xue and others looked at each other, feeling somewhat amused and helpless.

Yang Lixin continued, "Boss Luo, I'm telling you the truth, please don't mind. They are just afraid that you are using the case as an excuse to investigate them.

"You handled a case in Haidong Province, not to mention the distant past. How many people were arrested in Linjiang City's Deep Blue Biotechnology half a year ago? These people are afraid. They can give up their business. Their mind is that they can't stay in the same city with you anyway."

Am I that scary? Luo Rui didn't think he had done anything wrong.

Lin Chen spoke for him: "Director Yang, Linjiang City Deep Blue Biotechnology Company and the criminal gang headed by Jin Hong have brought this upon themselves.

How many people have been killed in this kind of major criminal case? You should understand that as police officers, we will never tolerate it.”

"That's true, but..." Yang Lixin pursed his lips and continued, "But who among these businessmen has a clean bottom? They have all been involved in some illegal things, so they are afraid.

Moreover, I heard that the bosses of various enterprises in Yunnan Province are preparing to withdraw their capital and move their factories after hearing that you have taken office as the head of the Yunnan Provincial Public Security Department. This has alarmed the provincial governor.”

"Is this true?" Luo Rui looked at his own people in disbelief.

There was a laptop on Chu Yang's desk. He tapped the keyboard a few times and turned the screen to Luo Rui. "Team Leader, it seems like this is true. It's on the news."

Luo Rui moved closer to the computer and took a closer look. The news headlines were very sensational, such as the nightmare of the wealthy in Yunnan Province, the 'culprit' that would soon cause the economic downturn in Yunnan Province, how a criminal policeman could affect the GDP of a province, etc.

Luo Rui sighed and took a closer look at the content. Although the title was very eye-catching, the content was true and did not discredit him.

Moreover, the comments from netizens under the post were all positive, especially those regarding the investigation into DeepBlue Biotech. Netizens and ordinary people all shared the same hatred for the enemy and felt it was very gratifying.

If that's the case, then I did nothing wrong.

Moreover, his transfer was the result of Pan Hai's mediation in the Imperial City. If he had not discussed it with the leaders of Yun Province, he would definitely not dare to make the decision on his own.

This way, there is nothing to worry about.

Luo Rui coughed twice and looked at Yang Lixin: "Director Yang, how about I leave?"

"No, don't!" Yang Lixin quickly waved his hand and stood up: "Boss Luo, we are relying on you for this case. If you leave, wouldn't that be a slap in our face?"

"So what do you say we should do? Should we continue investigating the case?"

Yang Lixin looked embarrassed: "Of course we have to investigate, Mr. Luo, can we not involve the company or anything like that..."

Luo Rui interrupted him: "If it doesn't involve major illegal crimes, then there will be no problem."

"That's good." Yang Lixin wiped the sweat from his forehead. He was really afraid that Luo Yanwang would just leave, otherwise he would not be able to explain to the provincial department. At the same time, he also had to deal with the city. He hoped that Luo Rui would not be too harsh.

"Let's talk about the case." Luo Rui got to the point and stopped thinking about these messy things.

Now that the truth was explained, everyone felt a little relieved.

The people from the Wucheng Municipal Bureau were no longer restrained and prepared to hold the first criminal investigation meeting.

The conference room darkened, the electronic screen lit up, and photos and background information of the two victims appeared on the large screen.

Xi Juan stood under the screen and began to introduce the case.

"Mr. Luo, fellow provincial department comrades, the first robbery occurred on October 10th last month, after 30 o'clock in the evening.

The location is in the wholesale market in the north city, which mainly sells small commodities and other items.

The victim's name is Shi Zhiyuan, he is 46 years old and married.

Before he was killed, the wholesale market had already closed for business. The reason he remained in the building was mainly because several of his stores had received a batch of goods that evening and he needed to receive the goods in person.

Shi Zhiyuan has five stores in the wholesale market, most of which sell women's jewelry, such as earrings, rings, necklaces and other small items. He also does Taobao online. He has a studio in the wholesale market and has ten employees.

After the incident, our police officers visited and investigated and found that Shi Zhiyuan did not have any bad habits, and did not have many social engagements, and it seemed that he had not offended anyone.

Moreover, we also asked our comrades from the Economic Investigation Brigade to investigate his financial situation. Shi Zhiyuan has not made any large transfers or deposits or withdrawals of large sums of money recently.

Since the crime scene was at the south gate of the wholesale market, there was no surveillance at the exit of that road, so the murderer did not shoot..."

As she spoke, she clicked on the computer on the desk, and a slide show of the crime scene appeared on the big screen.

"As you can see, the victim Shi Zhiyuan was driving a red Toyota..."

Luo Rui saw the car parked at the exit of the south gate, down the slope.

The left driver's window was smashed, and the victim Shi Zhiyuan's head fell on the steering wheel, his hands hanging at both sides, his eyes open, revealing a look of fear.

In addition, there are photos of the body being carried down by the police.

Shi Zhiyuan's body was laid out on a white cloth. Three close-up photos showed that he was shot in the left shoulder, in the neck, and in the back.

There are also photos of the situation inside the car. The driver's seat and the car cushions are all clotted with blood.

However, the background of these photos is a bit dark, and there were police officers lighting the scene. It should have been dark when they collected evidence.

Xi Juan continued: "The technical police conducted a detailed investigation of the scene, and the forensic doctor also performed an autopsy. Combined with our team's judgment, it is speculated that Shi Zhiyuan was attacked by the gunman waiting outside after he drove out of the car at the time of the crime.

The glass of the driver's window was broken by a heavy object, but the window was not completely closed at the time and was still half open, and then Shi Zhiyuan was beaten to death.

The murderer fired three shots. The first bullet hit Shi Zhiyuan's left shoulder. Before he could defend himself, the second bullet hit the left side of his neck.

The wound was a penetrating wound and was also a fatal shot. The bullet was embedded in the passenger door.

At this time, the murderer fired a third shot, and the bullet broke Shi Zhiyuan's third vertebra!
The three shots were fired at close range, no more than two meters away. The shells retrieved from the scene were of 7.62mm caliber. Our technical police are still conducting ballistic tests.

Luo Rui frowned and asked, "7.62mm caliber? Are you sure?" Xi Juan nodded, "Yes."

Yang Lixin said: "It may be a modified black gun."

Luo Rui: "What gun fired the shot? This is important. Once the ballistic test is completed, report it immediately."

"Okay! I'll urge the technical department to hurry up." Yang Lixin agreed, and then looked at Xi Juan: "Captain Xi, please continue."

Xi Juan nodded: "The other is the robbery that happened on the first of this month at the intersection of Jianmin Road and Mayuan Road at 1:33 in the morning.

The victim, Xu Jie, was driving a black Ford car and was shot four times by two murderers while waiting at a traffic light.

It was also a close-range shooting, the killer was particularly ruthless and had a strong psychological quality. He immediately fled the scene on a motorcycle after killing the person. "

Xi Juan once again brought up the surveillance footage of the crime scene, and everyone in the conference room stared at the big screen.

Motorcycles are common vehicles for social use, but the helmets worn by the two murderers were racing motorcycle helmets, which covered their entire heads. It was impossible to tell whether they were men or women, let alone their faces.

After watching the video, Xi Juan said: "The victim, Xu Jie, is 36 years old. He was divorced three years ago and has a middle school child who lives with his ex-wife.

He runs two hotpot restaurants and a restaurant in Wucheng. We also checked his financial situation and found nothing unusual and no debts. Compared with Shi Zhiyuan, he is more social and has drinking parties almost every night.

At the time of the incident, he and several business friends had finished their meal at his own hot pot restaurant, drove home alone, and was then killed by the murderer.

Because the crime happened not long ago, we are still conducting an in-depth investigation. Preliminary findings are that the two victims, Xu Jie and Shi Zhiyuan, had no business dealings and did not know each other.

However, the bullet casings left at the scene were all of 7.62mm caliber, so it is speculated that the murders were committed by the same group of murderers, and this was their only interaction.

After Xi Juan finished speaking, she stood aside, waiting for comrades from the provincial department to question her.

Luo Rui thought for a moment and asked about the first case: "When Shi Zhiyuan was murdered, did you retrieve the surveillance footage around the crime scene? Did you see the figure of the robber?"

"Mr. Luo, the crime scene only has traffic surveillance at the entrance and exit near the main road. After we checked it, we didn't find any suspects."

Having said that, Xi Juan pressed the computer keyboard to display a few photos.

"The main road is on the right side of the South Gate, and the front of Shi Zhiyuan's Toyota is also on the right side. He should have come out from this side.

So we speculate that after killing the person, the murderer should have run into the alley on the left.

On the left is an old residential area with no surveillance facilities. It is also very complicated and the roads are winding.”

Luo Rui nodded: "If we judge that the murderer is not a random killer, then the murder of Shi Zhiyuan and Xu Jie must have been deliberate and premeditated, right?"

Everyone nodded. For such a big case and such a brutal attack, it would be a bit scary to say that they were randomly killing people with robbery.

This isn't America, so there are some serious problems.

Luo Rui continued, "They acted so quickly and were so good at stalking, more skilled than us police officers. These two guys were well prepared.

When Shi Zhiyuan was murdered, he stayed in the company until after 11 o'clock in the evening. How did the murderer know his movements during this period?
Xu Jie was also killed after midnight, after he came out of his own hot pot restaurant... By the way, how far was the crime scene of the second case from the hot pot restaurant?"

Xi Juan replied: "Two kilometers, less than two kilometers."

"Xu Jie was probably targeted by the murderer when he was having dinner. After he drove away, the murderer followed him on a motorcycle, looking for an opportunity to kill him.

If he hadn’t been killed at the intersection, he would have been attacked when he got off his bus on his way home.”

Yang Lixin nodded: "That's right, that's right."

Luo Rui asked: "Have you found the photos of the motorcycle?"

"Fake license plate." Xi Juan said: "The traffic police detachment is looking for this model of motorcycle, and the technical department is also investigating the surveillance along the second crime scene to track the whereabouts of the murderer."

Yang Lixin took over the conversation: "The faces of the two murderers could not be seen clearly, but their heights and physiques could be roughly estimated. At the second crime scene, the man who fired the gun was thin, over 1.75 meters tall, and he held the gun with one hand when he fired the gun.

The second murderer was between 1.65 and 1.7 meters tall. Both of them wore motorcycle gloves when they committed the crime, which made them look very professional and had a certain degree of anti-reconnaissance ability. "

Xi Juan pondered and said, "As long as we find the common points between the two victims, we can follow their social relationships and investigate the identity of the murderer."

"We must investigate, of course." Luo Rui replied, "We are now divided into several groups. I won't ask about the specific details, I will take care of the general direction.

Just as Captain Xi said, dig deep into the social relationship between Shi Zhiyuan and Xu Jie.

There's a saying, yes, it's called the 'six degrees of separation theory', which means you can get to know everyone in the world through six people.

These two people do business in the same city. It's impossible to say that they have no intersection!
Xu Jie runs a restaurant. It is possible that Shi Zhiyuan has eaten at his hot pot restaurant. Even if he has not been there, have his employees been there? Have his friends been there?
In addition, has Xu Jie ever been to the Beicheng Wholesale Market? Should we check this?

Also, even if they really haven't been to each other's living areas, have they ever been to a tourist attraction? For example, have they ever had a drink at the same bar?

They are both married. Are there any overlaps between the two families? Do their children go to the same school? Do their wives or ex-wives go to the same barber shop to get their hair done? And so on...

I am just giving an example. In the absence of any specific clues, we will investigate in this direction."

Yang Lixin smiled and said, "Mr. Luo's example is very vivid."

Xi Juan nodded: "Mr. Luo, I understand."

Luo Rui looked at her and said, "Well, you will be responsible for this matter.

It's still early, so my men and I will go to the crime scene and take a look around.

Director Yang asked two groups to search for witnesses around the crime scene. If they couldn't find anyone, they would follow the life trajectories of the two victims in the past half month.

The murderer must have visited this place many times. No matter how well they tried to hide their tracks, they couldn’t have done it so carefully.”

"Okay, I'll arrange it." Yang Lixin agreed.

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

After the meeting, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon.

Luo Rui and his group only drove two cars from Yun Province, a Coaster and a Toyota Prado.

So, Qiao Xue borrowed an off-road vehicle from the Wucheng Municipal Bureau, and the group went to the crime scene in two vehicles.

When Luo Rui saw Chu Yang about to get into Qiao Xue's car, he immediately shouted, "Chu Yang, come here and take my car. Yong Hui, you take Qiao Xue's car."

Fang Yonghui said with a smile: "Luo Da, this is not good, right? Aren't you trying to break up our golden boy and jade girl?"

"Don't forget, the two murderers we investigated were carrying guns..." Luo Rui didn't finish his words, but Fang Yonghui and Lin Chen both nodded.

If something really happened, Chu Yang and Qiao Xue would be together, and for each other's safety, they would definitely not be able to calmly judge the emergency.

After Chu Yang came over, Fang Yonghui patted him on the shoulder and handed him the key: "Drive it sparingly. I begged for this Prado from the provincial department's logistics department with great pride. You must take care of it like you would Sister Qiao!"

“Get lost!” Chu Yang cursed, “They are doing this for our team leader’s sake. Do you think you have such a big face?”

Fang Yonghui chuckled and walked towards the car behind.

"Sister Qiao, please don't drive. Give me the car keys."

Qiao Xue heard the conversation between Fang Yonghui and Chu Yang. She rolled her eyes and said, "Don't bother Officer Fang. Just sit down."

Two people got into the car and fastened their seat belts.

Qiao Xue inserted the car key into the console and followed the car in front of her, driving out of the Municipal Bureau compound.

Fang Yonghui picked up the walkie-talkie plugged into the car and asked the car in front: "Chu Yang, should we go to the first scene first, or the second scene?"

"The team leader said he didn't have enough for lunch, so he went to the second scene first. We just happened to be at the restaurant, so let's have a hot pot first."

"Is it true? Don't fool me." Fang Yonghui didn't think that these words were said by Luo Da. It was a bit like a false imperial decree in an attempt to fool him.

“Stop talking nonsense, just follow me.” Chu Yang snorted.

"OK!" Fang Yonghui said with a smile.

He put down the walkie-talkie and looked at Qiao Xue who was driving.

"Sister Qiao, don't look so downcast. If you are unhappy about something, just take it out on Chu Yang. If you feel bad, I will beat him up for you."

Qiao Xue glanced at him and said, "Officer Fang, can't you find a girlfriend to care about you? You keep chirping all day long, don't you feel annoyed?"

“I wanted to…” Fang Yonghui spread his hands and said with a sly smile, “But Chu Yang got there first.”

"Get out!" Qiao Xue cursed in a long tone.

Fang Yonghui touched his nose and said, "Look, we are either on a business trip or on the way to a case. We are always in danger. I will have time to find a girlfriend when we settle down. It's not like you and Chu Yang are together all day.

By the way, how far have you two progressed now? Apart from watching movies, no holding hands? Have you…"

Qiao Xue had a cold face. Having been a police officer for so many years, the way she looked at Fang Yonghui at this moment seemed as if she wanted to be a murderer for once.

"Okay, I won't ask, I won't ask." Fang Yonghui raised his hands to beg for mercy, and then said: "But then again, we sincerely hope that you and Chu Yang can be together. Not only us, but Luo Da also thinks so."

Qiao Xue said nothing and held the steering wheel tightly.

She waited for Fang Yonghui to continue, but he shut up.

"No, you're just saying half of the sentence. What do you mean?" Qiao Xue rolled her eyes at him.

Fang Yonghui shrugged: "Nothing, I just think Luo Da must have some regrets.

In the past few years, from forming a criminal team to working in the Haidong Provincial Department, all the way to Yun Province, some of our people have sacrificed, and some have left. I don’t know what Luo Da thinks. If I were him, I would definitely be very sad..."
