You're supposed to be a security officer, what case are you solving?

Chapter 86: Identity Revealed!

"What?"

Zheng Kang and Jiang Jianbing turned around and stared intently at the proprietress.

The latter sighed: "What I mean is, we know the name of the man who asked Nana to go upstairs."

"Why didn't you say anything just now?" Zheng Kang walked back, his face very serious.

Jiang Jianbing frowned. If they could find out the true identity of a criminal, they could lock onto the person immediately!
But the other party was clearly trying to hide something, and such a lack of cooperation would drive anyone crazy.

The proprietress pursed her lips: "It's not that we don't want to tell you, it's just that we're afraid to deal with you. Haven't we had enough bad luck already?"

She gestured with her chin toward Zheng Kang: "If it weren't for what this old comrade just said, I definitely wouldn't have told you."

Jiang Jianbing was furious: "If you don't talk, that means you're concealing clues to a serious criminal case, and I can arrest you!"

The proprietress spread her hands: "Look at me, I get ransacked by people like you several times a month, and they always talk to me like this. They even complain about the Zhonghua cigarettes I keep in my cabinet."

"Alright, alright." Zheng Kang raised his hand to stop the two from fighting.

The proprietress, seizing the opportunity, explained, "It's not that we don't want to tell you, it's that we're really scared! This group robbed a bus and killed two people. Who would dare to report them?"

We're just ordinary people, life isn't easy. Besides, it's not that I didn't want to tell you, I just wanted to wait until you left before making anonymous calls to provide clues. That way it's safer, right?

"You don't trust us?" Yang Jinwen laughed. "Are you afraid we'll pocket the reward money for providing clues? Or do you think we're in cahoots with these people?"

The proprietress chuckled awkwardly, "Who knows?"

"Alright, alright," Zheng Kang said impatiently. "Just tell us what's going on."

The proprietress nodded: "That girl just now was Nana. After the man called her upstairs, she glanced at his wallet on the bedside table while he was in the bathroom. There was an ID card inside."

Zheng Kang frowned, ignoring the question of why the girl was secretly going through other people's wallets; in the current situation, that was no longer an issue.

"What's this person's name? Where do they live?"

“His name is Ma Dong, and he lives at No. 312, the bearing compound of the tractor factory in Dayan City.”

"you sure?"

The proprietress nodded: "That's what Nana told me."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Kang and Jiang Jianbing exchanged a glance, both seeing shock in each other's eyes.

They identified the person so easily?

The two old men blushed as if they had taken an aphrodisiac.

Yang Jinwen was calmer than them, and took out two sketches to show the proprietress: "Who is this Ma Dong?"

"Just him."

This person had a buzz cut, a scar above his left eyebrow, single eyelids, a thick upper lip, but a slightly thin lower lip.

Half an hour later, He Jinbo and Xu Guoliang arrived with their men.

After discussing it for a while, the group quickly reported the matter to Lu Shaohua.

Lu Shaohua immediately called Wen Mo.

Then, He Jinbo and the others received orders to immediately head to Dayan City and meet up with Wen Mo.

The Chengbei Branch Bureau dispatched three vehicles and arrived at the Dayan City Bureau at 3 PM. The branch captain of the Dayan City Bureau, Gao Feng, received Wen Mo and the others.

After the group entered the conference room, He Jinbo immediately informed everyone present of the news.

Gao Feng dared not delay and immediately organized a team to investigate the situation and make the arrest.

It was seven o'clock in the evening, just as it was getting dark.

A dozen or so officers from the Chengbei Branch Bureau, along with over twenty plainclothes officers from the Dayan City Bureau, were stationed outside the tractor factory bearing compound.

The bearing compound was actually the staff dormitory of the tractor factory, also known as the dormitory building, which was called Khrushchev Building in earlier years.

The five-story brick-concrete building has 12 households on each floor, arranged in a row. However, counting all four sides, each floor has a total of 48 households.

The tenement building has two entrances and exits. The main entrance is on the east side because the tractor factory is located there. The top of the brick archway is inlaid with a five-pointed star and gear relief.

In addition, there is the fire escape staircase on the south side, with an iron cage welded to the bottom, but it has been vandalized.

The reason there are so few entrances and exits is mainly due to historical reasons. At that time, it was necessary to strictly follow the principles of wartime air defense and collective control.

At this moment, Zheng Kang and the others sat in the Santana, quietly waiting for the criminal police officers from the Dayan City Public Security Bureau to investigate.

After all, this is their territory, and it's not appropriate to directly interfere.

Yang Jinwen was a little worried: "Master, Ma Dong lives in a tenement building. If the other four criminals also live in the building, what if something unexpected happens during the arrest and they get away?"

Sitting in the passenger seat, Zheng Kang shook his head and said, "The Wen detachment will take this into consideration. Besides, isn't Captain He also there? They're not like Liao Guohua."

Jiang Jianbing, sitting in the back seat, shifted his position forward and said, "Old Zheng, Xiao Yang isn't worried about Captain Wen and Lao He; he's worried about the people at the Dayan City Bureau."

Zheng Kang shrugged: "So what do we do now? Are we just going to fight them head-on with only a dozen or so people from our North City Branch?"

Zheng Kang looked at Yang Jinwen, who was sitting behind the steering wheel: "If you ever become the head of the municipal bureau's branch, we'll be at ease working with you on cases."

Jiang Jianbing chuckled and said, "It's not impossible. I'm thinking that with the credit from the previous two cases, and if Xiao Yang gains some more experience, he'll be a squad leader."

At this rate, in less than five years he'll be the captain, then he'll marry Wen Ling from our forensic lab, and you'll go straight to the municipal bureau.

"Tsk tsk, Xiao Yang, give it your all and bring glory to our North City Branch. If that day comes, your Uncle Jiang will definitely set off two strings of firecrackers for you at the city bureau gate."

Zheng Kang laughed and said, "Don't show off, Lao Jiang. If you had the guts, I would definitely buy you a pack of cigarettes."

"Come on, you're so stingy! How much of my shampoo and soap have you and Lao Xu used? When have I ever seen you buy any? Shameless!"

Zheng Kang rolled his eyes at him: "The reward for case 530 is coming soon. Lao He said that each person in our major crime team can get three to five hundred yuan."

"By the way, Jinwen, you deserve the most credit, so your bonus is the same as Captain He's—eight hundred yuan each."

"Eight hundred yuan?" Yang Jinwen smiled. "Thank you, Master."

Jiang Jianbing was overjoyed: "Great! An extra month's salary! I have to hide it well, I can't let my tigress find out."

At this time, the night grew darker and darker until, ten minutes later, the streetlights outside the south gate of the tenement building suddenly turned on.

Yang Jinwen and his colleagues were unaware that the streetlights outside the tractor factory bearing compound, which usually turn on at 8 p.m. in the summer, were 40 minutes earlier than usual tonight.

Then, they saw He Jinbo leading Xu Guoliang and Maozi, sneaking across the street like two stray dogs with a little wildcat.

Jiang Jianbing quickly opened the back door and let the three wild animals jump into the car.
