Detective: From the Police Academy

Chapter 162: Important clues! (Combined chapter, please vote for me, thank you.)
On the outskirts of Linjiang City.

In a flash, a bright light suddenly appeared in the snowy night.

"boom!"

A crisp gunshot.

Li Xueming's head was pierced by a bullet, blood splattered everywhere, and the spurting blood splashed on the window glass of the passenger seat.

Then he slumped over the steering wheel.

Before Luo Rui could react, he watched his life die in an instant.

The gun was immediately pointed at Luo Rui.

"Don't move! If you move, I'll kill you!"

Luo Rui clenched his teeth and said nothing.

He knew that he could not resist at this moment. He was tied up in the car. If the other party fired a shot, he would be dead immediately.

While thinking of countermeasures, he looked forward.

Jiang Dawei had been kicked to the ground. One of the men took out a dagger from his pocket and knelt on one knee in the snow.

He grabbed Jiang Dawei's hair, and then a flash of cold light quickly flashed across his neck.

The gushing blood sprayed on the snow like a series of plum blossom marks.

The gangster holding the dagger grabbed a handful of snow from the ground, wiped his hands, then raised his head and looked over here.

He stood up, wiped his hands with snow, and walked towards the front of the car, facing the orange headlights.

Luo Rui squinted his eyes and saw his face clearly. There was a scar on his eyebrow and his eyes were fierce. It seemed that killing was a trivial matter for him, and he killed not only ordinary people.

There were five men standing in the snow, including the man with the gun.

The man walked to the car and pulled the door open with force.

At the same time, others immediately gathered around.

He waved to his subordinates.

Several people pulled Luo Rui out of the car and pointed a gun at his head.

The scarred man pried open Luo Rui's palm, put the dagger in his hand and shook it, then let Luo Rui hold the gun as well.

"I heard you're great at solving cases. Let me see how you clear yourself of suspicion!"

Luo Rui did not resist. Just as he was about to speak, a hood covered his head and his hands were tied behind his back.

He only heard the scarred man's voice: "Take the man away, and leave two people to clean up the scene!"

……

Four o'clock in the morning, Linjiang City Police Station, case handling hall.

Chen Hao looked at the two computers in front of him. The screen showed a robbery at a jewelry store in Guangxing City. Tang Seng had held the store manager hostage and was raising a hammer to hit the other person's hand hard.

On another computer, the screen was showing a video of Li Mina shot in the commercial plaza. She was seen quickly crossing the street and heading towards the jewelry store.

She was wearing a hat and carrying a backpack, and when she was at the store door, she looked left and right vigilantly.

In less than twenty minutes, she came out of the jewelry store and the three robbers passed by her, but there was no communication between the two sides.

She just disappeared from the surveillance video without a trace.

Yang Xiaorui checked the road surveillance footage around the commercial street, but did not see her again.

After the two videos ended, Chen Hao took out a cigarette and wanted to light it, but when he saw Hu Changyu beside him, he had to put down the lighter.

Wu Lei said from the side: "Master, judging from her height and posture, this woman doesn't look like X. Maybe, as Luo Rui said, she is just a scapegoat."

After watching the video comparison, Chen Hao felt the same way. If this woman was really X, then wouldn’t everything she had done before be in vain?

X has strong anti-detection capabilities and it is impossible for him to expose himself to surveillance.

Chen Hao pondered and said nothing.

Hu Changyu was about to speak when he saw Yang Xiaorui running into the case handling hall in a hurry.

She waved an A4 paper in her hand and shouted loudly: "Director Hu, Captain Chen, we found this woman!"

Several people suddenly stood up from their chairs. Hu Changyu immediately took the A4 paper, and saw that it was Li Mina's identity information.

Yang Xiaorui said: "I compared the faces in the database and found out that this woman's real name is not Li Mina at all, but Li Xue, 28 years old, from this city, and her home address is also available!"

Hu Changyu handed the information to Chen Hao, who squinted his eyes and looked at it carefully.

Li Xue, a native of Linjiang City, has her family address in a county town under the jurisdiction of Linjiang City, but her residential address is in Qingshan Community in this city.

Chen Hao: "Director Hu, I'm going to arrest him now!"

Hu Changyu nodded solemnly: "Thank you for your hard work! As long as we catch her, we will have evidence pointing to this X!"

Chen Hao did not delay and set off quickly with Wu Lei and a group of criminal police.

On the way, Chen Hao called Luo Rui, but the other party's phone was not answered.

The situation was urgent, so he had to put it aside for the time being. Luo Rui would inform him as long as he found any clues.

Half an hour later, in front of No. 4, Building 303, Qingshan Community.

Chen Hao took out his pistol and asked Wu Lei to knock on the door.

But no one responded from inside. The two looked at each other, Wu Lei took a few steps back, and then kicked the door open.

A group of people quickly ran into the house.

The room was dark.

Chen Hao quickly pressed the switch in the entrance hall, and the lights in the living room suddenly lit up.

Several detectives quickly checked the bedroom and bathroom, but found no one there.

Wu Lei put away his gun and said, "Master, this Li Xue must have escaped!"

Chen Hao looked around the bedroom with a cold face and found that the suitcase was still there, winter clothes were hanging in the closet, there were fresh vegetables and fruits that had just been bought in the refrigerator, and there were skin care products of all sizes on the bathroom counter.

Chen Hao had a bad feeling.

Because the door had just been forced open, the neighbors on both sides were alarmed. Several residents opened the door and saw a group of strangers standing in the corridor.

One of the middle-aged men was wearing pajamas, protecting his wife behind him, and asked vigilantly: "Who are you? You are banging on someone's door in the middle of the night. I'm calling the police right away!"

Wu Lei quickly held his ID in front of him and said, "Sorry to disturb your rest. We are police officers and we are investigating a case."

"police?"

At this time, Chen Hao walked out of the door and said to the man, "Yes, we are criminal police. Do you know the woman living in this room?"

When he heard that it was a criminal police, the man was no longer afraid, but replied: "I know her. I often run into her on the stairs, but I don't know her name."

Another resident said, "It seems her last name is Li, officer, has she committed any crime?"

Chen Hao said: "We are just conducting a routine investigation. Do you know what her job is?"

"It seems like he works in a nightclub, specializing in selling alcohol."

As soon as the man finished speaking, he noticed that his neighbors on both sides were looking at him strangely.

His face turned red and he quickly explained: "It's like this, I went to the nightclub with my friends to drink and I met her before."

Chen Hao: "What's the name of that nightclub? Did she come back tonight?"

"It seems her name is Kimberly, and she's over there on the commercial street. How would we know if she came back tonight? If you want to check, you can go to the security room and retrieve the surveillance. Our community just installed surveillance last month, so you should be able to check it."

Chen Hao nodded: "Thank you!"

After asking these questions, Wu Lei sent these people back to the house.

Chen Hao immediately took people to the security room and after checking the surveillance footage, he discovered that Li Xue had left home at noon yesterday and had never returned.

Where was she between twelve and two?
After two o'clock, after she came out of the jewelry store, she didn't go home. Where did she go?
If you want to escape, you can't leave your belongings behind, right?

When Chen Hao was lost in thought, the phone rang.

Yang Xiaorui said on the phone: "Captain Chen, the police station received a report from the local police station that a female body was found in the North City Garbage Transfer Station!"

Chen Hao's bad premonition became stronger and stronger. He asked, "Female corpse?"

Yang Xiaorui replied: "Yes, the sanitation workers found it when they were dumping the garbage."

Chen Hao hung up the phone and immediately took people there.

When they arrived, they saw that a cordon had been set up in front of the garbage station. Because it was after midnight, there were few people in the alley and the shops on both sides were closed.

Several yellow garbage trucks were parked on the side of the road, and two sanitation workers were talking to the local police.

Chen Hao showed his ID and the police officer immediately saluted.

"Where is the body? Who found it?"

The police officer replied: "Chen Zhi, come with me."

The police took Chen Hao to the place where the garbage was stored. Because the garbage was not sorted, the sanitation workers would sort and dispose of the large amount of garbage after collecting it.

Those that can be sold are sold, and those that are useless are landfilled on the outskirts of the city.

The police took Chen Hao to a small office where four people were sitting, two men and two women. The two women were elderly ladies and they all wore arm sleeves.

When they saw the police coming in, the four men immediately stood up, with panic in their eyes.

Policeman: "Chen Zhi, they are the ones who found the body."

Chen Hao said, "Tell me, what happened?"

"Officer, I'm the driver. We didn't know what happened. Lao Wang and I went to the city to collect garbage. When we came back, we dumped a box of garbage. There was a suitcase, which was quite new. You know our job requires us to sort the garbage. The two women in charge of sorting it were two female comrades, so the four of us opened the suitcase immediately, thinking there was something good inside. Who knew there was a body inside? We were terrified and called the police immediately."

"Which area are you responsible for garbage collection?"

"We are responsible for the Kimberly area. This suitcase was also placed in a trash can in a nearby alley."

Chen Hao narrowed his eyes: "Kimberly? Take me to see the body!"

Seeing that he looked unhappy, the police officer quickly led the way.

Next to the garbage sorting site, there was a piece of white cloth, and a woman was lying on it.

All of a sudden, Chen Hao didn't even dare to move forward.

Wu Lei noticed that he was slow in his steps and asked, "Master, what's wrong?"

"It's okay."

When the group came to the white cloth and saw the woman's face clearly, Chen Hao immediately froze.

"Damn it!" Wu Lei cursed loudly and kicked the waste cardboard box next to him.

The other detectives also sighed and shook their heads.

Chen Hao wiped his face with both hands and then cheered himself up.

He squatted down and looked at Li Xue lying on the white cloth. She was still wearing yesterday's clothes, but her hat and glasses were gone. Her face was black and there were purple marks on her neck.

She died of mechanical asphyxiation, commonly known as strangulation.

Before she died, she must have bitten her tongue, so her mouth was full of coagulated blood.

Chen Hao opened the briefcase he was carrying, took out a pair of disposable latex gloves, and then searched Li Xue's body.

Not long after, she took out a brown envelope from her coat pocket, which contained a stack of money, probably more than 10,000 yuan in cash.

Chen Hao handed the envelope to Wu Lei and continued to search.

Then he found a receipt and a beautiful box.

The receipt stated that the Future Buddha gold pendant was purchased from Wu Fu Jewelry Store for 6668 yuan.

The box contained the golden pendant of the Future Buddha.

The Future Buddha, also known as Maitreya Buddha or the Buddha from the East, is the Buddha in Buddhism who dominates the future world. This Buddha always has a compassionate heart.

……

Luo Rui was stuffed into the car with his hands tied behind his back.

The two men sandwiched him and didn't allow him to move at all.

He couldn't see or hear anything. No one was talking in the car, but the car just kept moving.

All Luo Rui could think about was Li Xueming and Jiang Dawei.

They always stood on Hu Changyu's side and regarded bringing criminals to justice as the first duty of criminal police.

Li Xueming is already in his forties, and his two children have not yet completed their studies, so they need a father.

Jiang Dawei was fifty-six years old and still working as a frontline criminal policeman. He was supposed to retire in four years, but this happened.

How sad it would be if their families knew they were dead!

Thinking about this, Luo Rui wanted to slap himself twice!

If I hadn't slept at that time, if I had discovered something strange earlier like I did last time, I wouldn't have let these people succeed so easily!
From what I know now, it seems that these people are coming for me.

At first, he thought these people might be X's men, but after thinking about it, something seemed wrong.

X is indeed cruel and ruthless, but he is also extremely cunning.

The wisest thing for X to do now is to take the five million and run away.

If not X, then who?
Luo Rui's brain was working rapidly. Was it the people from Luming Village? Or was it...

No, after all, those people are wearing leather clothes, they dare not and will not do things in such a despicable way.

Besides, others are in high positions of power, so if they want to take action against Wei Qunshan, they don’t need to do that to me.

Time passed slowly, and it seemed like a long time had passed before the car suddenly stopped.

Luo Rui was dragged out of the car, and then he was put into another car. Without stopping, the car drove away immediately.

During this period, Luo Rui was wearing a hood, so he could not see the situation outside.

He estimated the time and thought it should be almost dawn, so he probably still was in Linjiang City.

Besides, he was stuffed into the car instead of being put in the trunk, which might mean that the place where this group of people wanted to take him was probably somewhere in the city.

After a long time, the car stopped again and Luo Rui was taken out of the car.

The two men held him in the middle and walked forward with their steps.

After walking for about twenty minutes, Luo Rui's steps became shaky and he suddenly realized that he felt like he was on a boat.

ferry?
His mind shuddered, and the only person he could think of who was related to the ship was the big boss of Yuanfeng Fisheries, Yuan Biao!
Could it be that Yuan Biao did all this?
Why does he want to mess with himself?
Is it because of his son Yuan Shi?
Luo Rui didn't have time to think about it as he was suddenly pushed by someone. He staggered forward a few steps, thinking he might be pushed into the river.

Fortunately, his body did not fall into the air, and his feet touched an object that looked like a chair.

There was a "crunch".

He heard the door close.

Luo Rui was abandoned in a room on a ship.

He heard the sound of a whistle and the ship began to move, not knowing where it was heading.

……

In the box of Kimberly nightclub.

The manager of the nightclub is named Fan, a burly man. Although he is called a manager, he is actually the one who looks after the place and is also the captain of the security team. His main job is to prevent trouble in the nightclub, which is usually dealt with by Manager Fan.

People who can hold such positions are either retired soldiers or gangsters. It would be best if they have been in prison and have some prestige, so that others will be convinced by you and give you face.

Manager Fan was not afraid of the criminal police. It seemed that he had dealt with them many times and had become a veteran.

Chen Hao didn't waste time talking to him and directly took out Li Xue's photo and handed it to him.

"Do you know this woman?"

Manager Fan reeked of alcohol. He took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a deep breath.

He just glanced at the photo and immediately replied: "I don't know him!"

Chen Hao said coldly: "You really don't know him?"

"Officer, you woke me up before daybreak. Do you know that I just went to bed less than an hour ago? If I say I don't know him, then I don't know him!"

Hearing this, Wu Lei, who was standing aside, suddenly got angry and grabbed Manager Fan by the collar.

"You bastard! This woman was working here the night before yesterday, and you said you didn't know her? Your nightclub boy just admitted it, why are you still pretending to be stupid!"

Manager Fan threw his cigarette butt to the ground and said, "Who is the bastard? You are such a great policeman! I didn't do anything wrong. I don't believe you can arrest me. Let's see what you can do to me."

Because Li Xue was murdered, people needed to investigate the scene and the place where the body was dumped, so at this time, only Chen Hao and Wu Lei were left in the box.

Seeing this group of people were so aggressive and wanted to take action, Wu Lei became even more angry.

He held Manager Fan's collar with one hand and pointed at the group of younger brothers with the other.

"Let's see who dares to move! You want to attack me, right? Come on, I'll catch whoever comes up!"

Manager Fan yelled at his younger brothers, "Don't be a coward! If you are a coward, you don't deserve to work in this nightclub! Get out now!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his younger brothers became more and more daring. They picked up beer bottles and smashed them on the coffee table.

"boom!"

"boom!"

……

The base of the beer bottle was smashed, leaving only a sharp gap. They picked up the half of the beer bottle and pointed it at Wu Lei.

If this thing pokes your body, it will be full of holes.

"Release our manager!"

……

"Chiefdom of the underworld, right? Come on, if you have the guts! Come on, hit me!"

Although Wu Lei was not afraid, he was still a little worried, after all, they were outnumbered.

The two sides confronted each other and neither of them gave in!

At this time, Chen Hao looked at Manager Fan coldly: "I'll ask you again, will you cooperate?"

Manager Fan laughed and said in a slick tone, "Officer, I have cooperated with your investigation. What else do you want?"

Chen Hao nodded, then unzipped his purse and took something out.

When Manager Fan saw this, he raised his eyelids and the other brothers also widened their eyes.

But then he saw Chen Hao stuffing the thing into his hand.

Manager Fan quickly let go of his hand, and with a "bang", the thing fell to the ground.

Chen Hao took out a few tissues from the coffee table, covered the thing with them, then carefully picked it up and put it in his purse.

Manager Fan immediately understood what was going on. After all, he had been in prison and was very experienced.

"Officer, don't play with me!"

Chen Hao ignored him and looked at Wu Lei and said, "Let him go, let's go!"

Wu Lei immediately let go of his hand, then smiled at Manager Fan and said, "Just wait!"

Manager Fan was so frightened that he immediately chased after him: "Wait a minute, officer, I know this woman, her name is Li Mina!"

Chen Hao ignored him and prepared to leave.

Unexpectedly, Manager Fan fell to his knees with a thump: "Officer, don't play with me!"

Chen Hao then turned around and waved to his younger brothers. The group of people took one look at their servile boss and quickly ran away without waiting for him to say anything.

Sitting back on the sofa, Manager Fan poured a glass of wine and took a sip to calm his nerves.

"Officer, I'm not very familiar with this Li Mina. She used to be a princess at the Tianlong Hotel. Later, the Tianlong Hotel was investigated, so she came to our place. However, we have always been doing legitimate business here. Of course, we do not rule out some girls doing illegal things privately, but we absolutely prohibit it!

Li Mina made her living in this industry by selling alcoholic beverages, and she made more money than she did as a princess before. "

Chen Hao: "Has anyone contacted her recently?"

Manager Fan replied: "Many people have approached her, but they were all arranged to go out."

Chen Hao: "I mean, are there any strange people looking for her? For example, if she doesn't want to reveal her identity..."

Manager Fan: "Oh, now I understand what you said! However, I have never seen such a person. Guests are all here to have fun and make a lot of noise."

Seeing Chen Hao's face turn cold, Manager Fan became anxious. He stood up and said, "Officer, wait a moment. I'll go ask the people downstairs. There are a few girls who are very close to her. They may know something."

Manager Fan trotted away, and Wu Lei immediately came up to Chen Hao and gave him a thumbs up: "Master, you are the best!"

Chen Hao glared at him: "If I wasn't in a hurry, I wouldn't do this! Don't learn from me!"

Wu Lei nodded: "Master, I understand, you are doing this for Director Hu!"

Chen Hao said nothing more, but took out his cell phone and called Luo Rui, but the phone was still turned off.

His right eyelid kept twitching and he always felt something was wrong.

Before I put my cell phone into my bag, the phone rang.

He opened the screen and saw that it was a call from Hu Changyu.

After answering the call, the other party only said one sentence: "Chen Hao, tell Luo Rui to keep moving forward!"

Hearing this, all the blood in Chen Hao's body froze. He hesitated for a moment, then immediately stood up and rushed out of the nightclub like crazy.

The snow was still falling, but the day had not yet come.
