Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 177 Seven Mental Illnesses

See? The case can still be used as gossip.

There are many such things in the system. As long as there is any major case, it will be reported soon.

Of course, except for those that need to be kept confidential.

"What case?" Li Jun couldn't help but ask.

Even he was intrigued.

"I don't know the details, I just know the general idea."

The police officer seemed to enjoy the feeling of being stared at and was deliberately keeping everyone on suspense.

"You are really good at pretending to be a big shot. Come on, tell me."

"Yeah, why keep it a secret?"

"Okay, okay, don't be impatient. Let me think about where to start." The police officer quickly formulated the words in his mind before slowly saying:

"It was initially a kidnapping case. The family members called the police on the day the victim disappeared."

"After waiting for several days, no ransom call came. Just when everyone thought something was wrong, the victim was found."

"I found it, but what I didn't expect is..."

Having said this, he took another deep breath.

"Are you itching for trouble?" Li Jun said through gritting his teeth.

Even Yu Dazhang clenched his fists.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him with a somewhat creepy look, the police officer shrank his neck and continued:

"The victim is crazy."

"He was walking down the street, mumbling all sorts of obscenities, and he didn't even respond to passing cars."

After hearing this, everyone looked at each other.

Yu Dazhang also looked at his colleagues around him in confusion and found that their reactions were similar to his.

There's nothing special about this case.

Since the person showed up on his own, it is very likely that this is not a kidnapping case at all.

Soon a police officer raised the question:
"The victim was mentally ill. He suddenly had a seizure on the day of the crime and ran away. There are too many such cases."

He expressed what was on everyone's mind.

Is such a case worthy of being investigated personally by experts from the provincial department?
When did the provincial and ministerial experts become so idle that they even take on cases like this?

"Just listen to me."

The police officer smiled, seemingly satisfied with everyone's reaction. He took another sip of the drink to moisten his throat before continuing:
"The victim was missing two fingers and the wounds had been treated and bandaged."

When everyone heard this, their expressions varied.

Two even touched their fingers.

Losing a finger would at least constitute a minor injury, but if it was a thumb that was missing, it would be considered a serious injury.

This is a straight-up criminal case.

“It doesn’t need to be that necessary for the provincial and ministerial experts to come in person, right?” This time it was Yu Dazhang who spoke.

He felt that even if this was man-made, it would not meet the standards of a major case, let alone alarm the provincial department.

"What if seven people in a row do this?" the police officer asked.

Now, everyone in the room fell silent.

After a while, Yu Dazhang continued to ask:

"All seven people disappeared first, then went crazy and came back on their own?"

"Yes." The police officer nodded and added:
"And all of them were missing fingers, the least was one, the most was six."

This case is indeed a bit weird...Yu Dazhang instinctively thought that this was the work of some pervert.

Same method, same formula, after seven people disappeared in a row, everyone went crazy.

Are you crazy about cutting your fingers?

Everyone had the same idea at the same time.

It was just gossip, so no one took it seriously. After chatting for a while, they automatically jumped to another topic.

"Let me tell you, there is another case..."

The meal lasted more than three hours. It must have been a long time since we had such a relaxing time. Everyone was in high spirits and became more and more excited as they talked.

During the meal, Yu Dazhang took the opportunity to go to the toilet and went to the bar to settle the bill. How could he really let Captain Li pay for the meal? Joking aside, he still had to take actual action.

The bonus for an individual first-class merit is 20,000 yuan, and for two people it is 40,000 yuan, so it is reasonable to treat them to a meal.

Although there are bonuses for collective contributions, everyone tacitly agreed not to mention it.

The collective bonus cannot be used for personal purposes and can only be used as funds for collective activities.

Especially gatherings of people within the system are very sensitive now. Sometimes the inspection is strict and individual payment is not allowed, let alone using collective funds.

The next day.

Criminal Investigation Detachment.

Yu Dazhang seemed a little absent-minded today.

After reading the case files for several days in a row without finding any breakthrough in the case, he now had to make a choice.

Should I keep this case pending or take it over?
To be honest, if he took over the case at this moment, he was not completely sure that he could win it.

Although he knew that there was something wrong with the housekeeper, he always felt that things were not that simple.

It wasn't until noon that he finally made a decision.

check!
Since my boss wants me to set up a backlog case team, I can't just back down.

In the afternoon, he told Captain Li about his decision to take over the case.

"Any clues?" Li Jun asked excitedly.

If the bureau's backlog of cases could really be solved, it would be even more gratifying for him than making a contribution.

As the captain of a detachment, he had four backlog cases on his shoulders, which was like owing a foreign debt.

Every time his leader asked if there was any new progress, he felt a heavy burden on his shoulders.

"No."

Yu Dazhang smiled and shook his head:

"Captain Li, you really think highly of me. If a case can be solved by just looking at the case file, then this case would not be my turn to investigate."

The meaning of his words was obvious.

The case file was compiled by the police officer who was previously in charge of the investigation. If there were any clues, they would have investigated it long ago.

"I believe you." Li Jun stared at him and said:
"You can ask for anything you need. No matter what the final result is, the detachment will support you."

Although it is just a short sentence, it reveals enough information.

Li Jun fully trusts him!

And it's without reservation.

"I will try my best." This is the only promise Yu Dazhang can make.

Then Ma Jian and another police officer named Liu Miao came to report to him.

The backlog case investigation team was formally established.

The three of them were originally from the same detachment and were familiar with each other.

The politeness was naturally omitted.

"Come with me to the Liu family." Without any unnecessary nonsense, Yu Dazhang gave the order directly.

Three people drove a police car to the villa where Liu Zhengyang lived.

Although Liu Zhengyang is gone, his son Liu Siyuan still lives here, and the housekeeper and servants are still the same people as before.

These are all recorded in the case files.

Even such details were not overlooked, which shows how careful the police officers who were compiling the case files were.

After revealing their identities, Yu Dazhang and the other two came into the villa.

He had contacted Liu Siyuan before coming, and the case file contained the contact information of Liu's family.

"Officer Yu, right?"

When Liu Siyuan saw the three of them, he greeted them:
"Please take a seat. You're welcome."

Then he asked for drinks.

Sitting on the sofa, Yu Dazhang asked:
"Is your sister not home?"

"She doesn't live here." When Liu Siyuan mentioned his own sister, he unconsciously revealed an expression of disgust:
"I told her so many times that dad died of illness, but she insisted on calling the police."

"Not only did it cause chaos at home, but my father's body wasn't cremated until a month later."
