Siheyuan: I am Banggeng's uncle

Chapter 746 The Case Is Solved!

Qiu Xueping, who was about to gather his subordinates to search the factory area, heard Li Xianjin's shout and subconsciously stopped. He immediately asked Li Xianjin, "Captain Li! Has Director Jia found anything else?"

Upon hearing Qiu Xueping's question, Li Xianjin, remembering what Jia Dongming had just instructed him to do, immediately explained to Qiu Xueping, "Section Chief Qiu! As you just said, the motor is so large, it's not an easy task to set up a factory right under the noses of your security department."

"However, since that murderer dared to steal the motor, it means he was confident enough to get it out of your factory. After discussing it with Director Jia, we believe that the only people in your factory who could do this, besides the drivers, are the garbage collectors. Director Jia's suggestion is to check if any vehicles left the factory area today, especially the garbage trucks."

Upon hearing Li Xianjin's proposed investigation plan, Qiu Xueping's eyes lit up. He quickly said to Li Xianjin, "Captain Li! No matter what kind of vehicle goes out of our factory, it must be registered at the gate. Please wait a moment, I'll be right back."

Just as Qiu Xueping went to the gatekeeper to check the records, Jia Dongming wandered around the workshop again. After finding no other valuable clues, he walked out of the workshop.

When Li Xianjin saw Jia Dongming coming out of the workshop, he recalled the rumors about Jia Dongming that had been circulating recently, which made him sincerely admire Jia Dongming's criminal investigation abilities. He quickly stepped forward and asked Jia Dongming, "Director Jia! How was it? Did you find anything else?"

Upon hearing Li Xianjin's question, Jia Dongming subconsciously shook his head and smiled as he said to Li Xianjin, "Captain Li! It's already a huge achievement that we were able to discover the murderer's motive. As long as the railway factory's security department doesn't just go through the motions, I believe this case will definitely be solved today."

A dozen minutes later, Qiu Xueping, holding a registration book, ran up to the two men with an excited expression and introduced them to Jia Dongming and Li Xianjin: "Director Jia! Captain Li! According to the entry and exit registration book in our guard room, all the trucks that left our factory today were empty because they were going to transport raw materials."

"In addition, around 8 a.m., You Chengxu from the sanitation team of our factory's logistics department once took a truckload of garbage to the garbage disposal plant to dump it."

Upon hearing Qiu Xueping's explanation, Jia Dongming immediately asked Qiu Xueping, "Section Chief Qiu! Is this You Chengxu you just mentioned currently at the factory?"

When Qiu Xueping heard Jia Dongming ask about You Chengxu's whereabouts, he subconsciously shook his head and replied, "Director Jia! You Chengxu went home a dozen minutes ago."

Upon hearing Qiu Xueping's explanation, Jia Dongming immediately instructed Li Xianjin: "Captain Li! Take your men to You Chengxu's house right away, and compare the footprints you collected from the scene with You Chengxu's footprints. As long as the footprints match, everything will naturally come to light."

Upon hearing Jia Dongming's words, Li Xianjin immediately nodded and asked Qiu Xueping, "Section Chief Qiu! Where does You Chengxu live? Could you send someone with us to go there?"

Although a murder occurred at the railway factory, it was an unexpected incident, and the security department did not bear much responsibility. However, Sun Peng's death was caused by the discovery of a thief stealing the factory's motor lock, which means that the security department did not do its job diligently during the patrol. They bear an inescapable responsibility for Sun Peng's death and the theft of the motor. Although he is not the head of the security department, he cannot escape joint responsibility.

Thinking of the responsibility he would have to bear, Qiu Xueping wished he could tear You Chengxu to pieces. Faced with Li Xianjin's request, Qiu Xueping said with a face full of resentment, "Captain Li! I've already found out You Chengxu's home address. Now I'll personally accompany you there." Seeing that Li Xianjin and his team were going to arrest You Chengxu, Jia Dongming glanced at his watch and said with a smile, "Captain Li! I won't participate in the rest of the arrest operation. I'll take my leave now."

Upon hearing Jia Dongming's words, Li Xianjin quickly reached out and grasped Jia Dongming's hand, expressing his gratitude: "Director Jia! We owe you so much for this. On behalf of our Major Crimes Unit, I thank you. After this case is solved, I'll treat you to a meal."

After saying goodbye to Li Xianjin, Jia Dongming drove his jeep away from the railway factory, heading towards the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill, as everyone watched him go.

Just as Jia Dongming had predicted, when Li Xianjin and the others arrived at You Chengxu's house, You Chengxu, feeling guilty, suddenly changed his expression upon seeing Qiu Xueping and Li Xianjin, and turned to run away.

"Dingling! Dingling! Dingling!"

The next morning around nine o'clock, the phone in Jia Dongming's office suddenly rang.

Hearing the phone ring, Jia Dongming picked it up and politely greeted, "Hello! This is Jia Dongming. May I ask who this is?"

"Director Jia! Hello! This is Li Xianjin. The case at the railway factory, just as you predicted, was indeed committed by You Chengxu." Li Xianjin's warm greeting came immediately from the other end of the phone as soon as Jia Dongming finished asking his question.

Upon hearing Li Xianjin's account and learning that the murderer had been apprehended, Jia Dongming smiled and congratulated Li Xianjin, saying, "Captain Li! Congratulations on solving the case in just one day!"

Upon hearing Jia Dongming's congratulations, Li Xianjin showed a guilty expression and said to Jia Dongming, "Director Jia! Please don't make fun of me. Yesterday, we spent most of the day investigating the scene but couldn't find anything about the stolen motor. However, you only took one look at the scene and discovered that the motor was stolen, allowing us to follow the clues and successfully catch the murderer."

Upon hearing Li Xianjin's words, Jia Dongming displayed a humble expression and replied unhurriedly, "Captain Li! As soon as the railway factory workers arrive at work today, they will definitely discover that the motor has been stolen. At that time, you will also be able to find the murderer based on this clue. Therefore, since I am not involved in this case, solving the case is only a matter of time for you."

Upon hearing Jia Dongming's reply, and recalling Jia Dongming's speed in handling the case yesterday, Li Xianjin said to Jia Dongming with admiration, "Director Jia! When it comes to handling cases, I, Li Xianjin, have never admired anyone before. But from today onwards, I admire only you. When do you have time? Could you come to our branch and give a lesson to the comrades in our Major Crimes Unit?"

Upon hearing Li Xianjin's request, Jia Dongming replied humbly, "Captain Li! I wouldn't dare call it teaching; it's more like we're learning from each other!"
