Reborn in 97, I solved a cold case at the Municipal Bureau

Chapter 49 A life of hard work

These words were quite harsh, and Zhou Yi frowned immediately.

But he couldn't argue with the other party because of this. It was meaningless and not in line with the principles of a disciplined force.

"Then, Xu Jiaguang, come to the Municipal Public Security Bureau to find me at three o'clock this afternoon." Zhou Yi said loudly.

When they heard the words "Municipal Public Security Bureau", there was a sudden whisper in the crowd.

"The Municipal Public Security Bureau. You're so young and already working at the Municipal Bureau."

"Not simple, not simple. I thought he was just a small police officer from the police station."

Zhou Yi continued, "When the time comes, just tell them you're looking for Officer Zhou from the Serious Crime Squad of the Third Brigade."

As soon as the word "serious crime squad" came out, the crowd was immediately in an uproar. It was bad enough that they were from the Municipal Bureau, but they were actually from the Serious Crime Squad.

Upon hearing Zhou Yi's words, the man almost fell to his knees. Zhou Yi was quick to hold him up.

When leaving the crowd, Zhou Yi deliberately glanced at the old man who had just spoken in a sarcastic tone. This time, the other party did not dare to speak again.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Zhou Yi rode his bicycle straight to the Municipal Bureau.

On the way, he couldn't help complaining that he seemed destined to have a life of hard work.

That day, Chen Yan said that he had not arrived yet, but the case had arrived first.

As a result, I was able to take a case on my way to work on my first day today. No one else can do that.

As soon as Zhou Yi entered the gate of the Municipal Bureau, he saw a familiar figure.

"Brother Yan!" Zhou Yi greeted him warmly.

"Hey, Zhou Yi, you're here. Welcome, welcome." Chen Yan hurriedly went up to him and shook hands with Zhou Yi.

"I'll have to ask Brother Yan for more guidance in the future."

"Don't make fun of me, Captain Wu has already told me to learn more from you. He said you're quite talented at solving cases."

Zhou Yi thought to himself, I don’t have any talent at all. I just did the “exam questions” for twenty-three years more and accumulated experience.

"Don't listen to Captain Wu. He said that on purpose to put pressure on me."

"No, I witnessed your abilities in the Du Xiaolin case firsthand, and I sincerely admire you." Chen Yan said sincerely, "Do you know what Sister Qiao calls you?"

"what?"

"Little Detective."

Zhou Yi was suddenly at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He had no idea that his previous predictions had made Qiao Jiali admire him so much.

"Is Captain Wu here?"

Chen Yan shook his head: "Captain Wu followed Director Xie to the provincial capital."

"Going to the provincial capital?"

"Well, the issues that were involved in Zhu Xuejun's case were so huge that the provincial department leaders requested a special case report. So last night, Captain Wu received a last-minute notice from Director Xie and went to the provincial government with him."

"But he specifically asked me to take you to familiarize yourself with the environment first, and then he will give you a proper welcome when he returns in a couple of days."

As they walked and talked, Chen Yan suddenly lowered his voice and said, "But Brother Biao is already eager to try it, because Captain Wu hid two bottles of Moutai, and he has been thinking about it for a long time."

When Zhou Yi heard the words Jiang Biao and wine, he suddenly grinned, and the horrible memory came back to him.

Chen Yan took Zhou Yi to the personnel department to complete the entry procedures. Wu Yongcheng "kept his word" and indeed he was a "temporary worker".

However, the huge difference between Zhou Yi and ordinary temporary workers is that his file has been transferred from the police station to the municipal bureau.

This means that his "temporary worker" position is not a temporary secondment, but rather a "probationary period." This was probably something Wu Yongcheng had fought for.

After completing the formalities, Zhou Yi received his new ID. Looking at his young photo on the ID, Zhou Yi felt very confident.

Next, it’s time to really show your skills.

After completing the formalities, Chen Yan followed Captain Wu's instructions and took him to various departments to familiarize himself with the places.

In fact, Zhou Yi was more familiar with the structure of the Municipal Bureau than Chen Yan, but he still followed Chen Yan very humbly and greeted his new colleagues like a new criminal policeman.

I went straight to the forensic room and saw Xu Nian wearing a white coat and a mask inside.

"Forensic Doctor Xu." Chen Yan shouted.

Xu Nian turned around, glanced at the two people at the door, nodded, and turned around to do his own thing.

Chen Yan was stunned for a moment, then said to Zhou Yi awkwardly, "I guess Forensic Doctor Xu is a bit busy. Anyway, you two already know each other."

Zhou Yi didn't care too much. He said hello and followed Chen Yan.

Finally, it was the office of the Third Brigade. Qiao Jiali was in the office, expressing great enthusiasm for Zhou Yi's arrival.

After some pleasantries, Zhou Yi asked Chen Yan, "Brother Yan, have you made any progress on the Li Youqiang disappearance case I asked you to investigate?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yan couldn't help but laugh, "Captain Wu really got it right?"

"What did you say?" Zhou Yi looked confused.

"Captain Wu said you wouldn't be able to sit still. You'd be eager to investigate the case on your first day. He turned out to be right."

Zhou Yi smiled bitterly helplessly. It seemed that not only he knew that he was destined to be a hard worker, but Wu Yongcheng also knew it.

"In Li Youqiang's case, we sent his ID information to our colleagues in Anyuan City and asked them to assist with the investigation. We haven't received any feedback yet."

Anyuan City is the city mentioned by Li Youqiang's mother. It is the place where Li Youqiang went to work. It is a prefecture-level city in the neighboring province, about 500 kilometers away from Hongcheng.

"But we did find another clue, and that's about that Gua Ge. We found out that this Gua Ge's real name is Fu Daqing, a native of Hongcheng. He earned the nickname Gua Ge because he was in the fruit wholesale business in his early years."

"But his business failed a few years ago, and his wife ran away with someone else. He hasn't had a proper job since then."

"The exact relationship between him and Li Youqiang is still unknown. But one thing is very suspicious."

"What?" Zhou Yi asked hurriedly.

"Fu Daqing is also missing."

"What? How long has he been missing?"

"The exact time is unknown because Fu Daqing has no children, his wife left him, and he only has a father who suffers from Alzheimer's and is in a nursing home. We also learned from the nursing home that Fu Daqing hasn't visited his father in almost two months. The nursing home has tried to contact him many times due to unpaid bills, but has been unsuccessful."

"More than two months? It seems that Li Youqiang and Fu Daqing disappeared at about the same time." Zhou Yi had never expected that his mother's kind-hearted and unintentional act in the hospital might actually lead to a case.

At the same time, he also realized one thing, that is, in addition to the unsolved cases, there may be many similar headless cases of missing persons that have been completely buried in the riverbed of history.

Before his rebirth, Zhou Yi spent eight years in the Archives Department. In addition to the information on a number of unsolved cases, he also had impressions of many of the cases he had already handled.

Therefore, he could be sure that neither the disappearance of Li Youqiang nor the disappearance of Zhang Hui this morning had been investigated as criminal cases.

In this case, it may be filed as an ordinary missing person case.

It is also possible that because the case is from another province or city, Zhou Yi cannot access it.

There is even a possibility that the missing persons are completely forgotten, with no trace of their bodies found.

Life and death unknown.
