Detective: From the Police Academy

Chapter 179 Unsung Hero
Guangxing City, Provincial Department.

The secretary put an investigation report on Zhu Yong's desk.

"Captain, I just found out."

"Oh?" Zhu Yong put on his glasses and picked up the report to read it.

After a while, he opened his eyes wide and asked in disbelief, "Are you sure the content of the investigation is 100% true?"

The secretary nodded: "It should be true. We found a witness and the surveillance camera also captured him."

As he spoke, the secretary took out a printed photo from his briefcase and handed it to the leader.

After reading it, Zhu Yong felt his heart sink.

He did not dare to delay, picked up the investigation report and photos and stood up.

"Don't spread this matter."

The secretary nodded quickly: "Captain, I know."

Zhu Yong walked out of the office and knocked on Wu Chaoxiong's office door.

When he heard the word "Come in", he immediately pushed the door open and closed it behind him to prevent outsiders from hearing the conversation that followed.

Wu Chaoxiong looked at him: "What's wrong? You don't look happy."

Zhu Yong handed him the report and photos. "Director Wu, this is what our subordinates found out."

Wu Chaoxiong picked up the investigation report and started reading it, then picked up the photo and took a look.

Although the picture quality is blurry, one can recognize at a glance that this person is Luo Rui.

He stood in front of the mailbox and put a letter into it. Before putting it in, he looked around to see if anyone was watching him nearby.

In fact, it is not difficult to find out who sent the anonymous letter to Platinum City.

When the Qin Province called to inquire, Wu Chaoxiong had to investigate. As a leader, he couldn't just let his subordinates do whatever they wanted.

The 88 case, from 88 to now, it has been eighteen years, it can be said to be the case of the century, with such a great impact that it is known to everyone, young and old.

An anonymous letter shocked the police community in Qin Province, and they spared no effort to reopen Case 88. This was too mysterious.

Wu Chaoxiong threw the report on the table with a serious expression on his face.

He didn't say anything, so Zhu Yong had to stand there in silence.

After a long while, Wu Chaoxiong ordered: "Call Wei Qunshan to me!"

Zhu Yong hurriedly did as he was told. He knew the seriousness of the matter. But before he took out his cell phone, Wu Chaoxiong's secretary knocked on the door and poked his head in.

"Director Wu, Director Wei Qunshan from the Haijiang Branch wants to see you."

"Tell him to come in!"

Wu Chaoxiong sat in the chair without moving, with a sullen look on his face.

After Wei Qunshan came in, he first greeted Zhu Yong, and then looked at Wu Chaoxiong.

"Director Wu."

Wu Chaoxiong narrowed his eyes and asked, "What's the matter? What do you want to talk to me about?"

Wei Qunshan, an old fox, could tell at a glance from his leader's cold expression that he had already guessed what was going on.

"It's like this, I've found out who wrote the anonymous letter!"

Wu Chaoxiong looked at Zhu Yong, who shook his head slightly, meaning that he did not reveal the information himself.

"Who?"

"Luo Rui!"

Wei Qunshan placed the rubbing in his hand on Wu Chaoxiong's desk.

"There is a notebook on Luo Rui's desk, and he has torn off two pages. As long as we call Qin Province to inquire, we can compare the letter paper with the torn edges of the notebook and it will definitely match.

And I copied the last page, which is about the 88 case. In the letter, Luo Rui analyzed the murderer's motives and the clues that the Platinum City Police Department missed that year..."

Wu Chaoxiong stretched out his hand to stop him from continuing.

Zhu Yong turned his head slightly and looked at Wei Qunshan out of the corner of his eye.

He was a little confused. Why did this old fox sell out Luo Rui so quickly?

After all, Luo Rui is the head of the criminal team of the Haijiang Branch, and everyone knows that he is Wei Qunshan’s favorite!

Otherwise, when Wu Chaoxiong first learned about this, the first person he would look for was Wei Qunshan.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and none of the three spoke.

Wu Chaoxiong frowned and was about to speak.

At this time, the secretary was knocking on the door again.

Wu Chaoxiong shouted impatiently: "Come in, what's the matter?"

The secretary was so frightened when he heard this that he pushed open the door and said, "Director Wu, the TV is broadcasting live that the murderer of the 88 case has been found in Qin Province!"

"what?!"

Wu Chaoxiong stood up immediately, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes trembling.

Zhu Yong was also startled and asked quickly: "What's going on?"

The secretary swallowed his saliva and repeated, "After DNA screening, Qin Province has found the murderer of the 88 case. Now the Qin Provincial TV station is broadcasting the arrest of the murderer!"

The three of them heard it clearly now.

Zhu Yong looked at Wu Chaoxiong in amazement, and the latter also had an expression of disbelief.

They didn't expect that the Qin Province's investigation was so fast and they got the results in such a short time!

This is a case that has remained unsolved for eighteen years!

Instead, a barely perceptible light flashed in Wei Qunshan's eyes. He picked up the remote control on the coffee table, turned on the TV opposite the sofa, and tuned it to Qin Province TV Station.

Wu Chaoxiong immediately walked out from behind his desk.

Three people stood in front of the TV, staring at the screen without blinking.

The background of the picture is a residential building. A female reporter stands in front of the building with a microphone in her hand. Behind her are fully armed special police and criminal police.

[Some time ago, the police extracted DNA samples from the entire county's population of 88. After a week of screening, they finally compared the DNA of the murderer's collateral relatives, and thus found the murderer who committed the major cases that year!
Now, the police have located the murderer, who is hiding in this residential building.

At this moment, a large number of police officers are conducting arrest operations inside.

Starting from 88, after years, the case was finally solved and the truth was revealed. The police have been investigating and have never given up!
Even after so much time has passed, the police have never forgotten the eleven victims!
We are now broadcasting live the police arrest operation, please follow the camera...】

As soon as the reporter finished speaking, the camera turned to the criminal police entering the residential building.

Then, the camera moved forward and shook violently, but it always followed behind the criminal police.

Wei Qunshan knew this criminal policeman, he was his old friend, Zhao Changgen!
Many years ago, when they were still students in the police academy, they studied and trained together in Imperial City. The first time he ate mutton soup steamed bun, it was Zhao Changgen who took him there.

The camera followed Zhao Changgen all the way to the third floor of the residential building.

A group of special police gathered in front of the door. When they saw Zhao Changgen coming, they made way and let him stand in front of the door.

Zhao Changgen took out his gun and waved behind him.

Just as they were about to break down the door, it opened from the inside.

A middle-aged man, with his head down, knelt on the ground with a plop.

He put his head in his hands and gave up trying to escape or struggle.

The murderer of Case 88 was right in front of him. Zhao Changgen seemed to find it hard to believe that he had been chasing him for eighteen years but he didn't expect that the other party was such an ordinary person.

Years of imagination made him think that the murderer must be an extremely cunning and strong man!

But the man in front of him was too ordinary. If he were thrown into a crowd, he would be hard to find.

Zhao Changgen was a little stunned. Before he could give any orders, several criminal police officers walked up to him, and after seeing the man's face clearly, they immediately subdued him.

A pair of cuffs were put on the man's wrists.

The murderer was led out of the corridor by the criminal police, and he was not wearing a hood on his head.

The crowd watching from across the street immediately shouted, "Murderer!"

"You beast, you killed so many innocent people, go to hell!"

"You killed such a young child. You...you will go to hell!"

……

Although there were no relatives of the victim at the scene, ordinary people were filled with righteous indignation and cursed. If it weren't for the police maintaining order, they would probably rush up and beat the murderer severely.

The eighteen-year pursuit of the murderer finally came to an end at this moment!

In front of the TV, people from all over Qin Province breathed a sigh of relief.

The eleven victims can finally rest in peace!
At this time, in Wu Chaoxiong's office.

Zhu Yong looked at his leader blankly: "Why do I feel like I'm dreaming? Such a big case, which lasted for so many years, is solved just like this? Tracking the murderer through the DNA of the murderer's collateral relatives? Is this the method Luo Rui came up with?"

"I'm afraid that's the case!"

Wu Chaoxiong handed him the copy that Wei Qunshan had just brought. "Isn't it written very clearly here? But there is one thing. How did Luo Rui know that there would be relatives of the murderer in that small county?"

Wei Qunshan replied: "He should have cross-checked the location and time of the murderer's crime and came to the conclusion. We still have to ask him for the details."

Wu Chaoxiong rolled his eyes at him and said, "Old Wei, I was wondering why you came here in such a hurry. I thought you were here to complain about Luo Rui, but I didn't expect you were here to take credit. Did you know that there was a result in Qin Province?"

Wei Qunshan laughed twice, and then said, "It's true that nothing can be hidden from Director Wu. I called Zhao Changgen this morning, but even if I can't catch the murderer, I will report Luo Rui's case."

"You are an old fox! If Hu Changyu were as cunning as you, he wouldn't..."

Wu Chaoxiong sighed and didn't continue speaking.

Wei Qunshan also shook his head. When he mentioned his old comrade-in-arms, he seemed very melancholy.

However, this is not the time to discuss this topic.

Zhu Yong asked: "Should we call Luo Rui over?"

Wu Chaoxiong was pondering, but at this moment, the telephone on his desk rang.

After he answered the call, he put down the receiver and pressed the hands-free button.

Li Hui, the head of the Qin Provincial Department, spoke in the office: "Old Wu, how is it? Have you found this person? Who wrote the anonymous letter? Did you watch the live broadcast on TV? The murderer has been caught! Please help us find this unknown hero. All the police officers in Qin Province and the families of the victims should thank him!"

Hearing this, Wu Chaoxiong was suddenly speechless and could not utter a word.

He, Zhu Yong and Wei Qunshan looked at each other, especially Wei Qunshan, who slowly shook his head.

Wu Chaoxiong had no choice but to cough twice: "Director Li, we have already checked this matter. It is indeed an anonymous letter written by one of our internal staff."

When the other party heard this, he immediately asked: "That's great, what's his name?"

Wu Chaoxiong said: "Director Li, I'm sorry, I can't tell you his name."

The other party hesitated for a long time, then said disappointedly: "I understand your concerns, but please, you must thank him for me! He did a great thing, but his contribution cannot be known to the outside world, which is a pity!" Wu Chaoxiong nodded: "I will, Director Li, you have worked hard for so many years. Now that the case has been solved, you can relax a little. When the conditions are ripe, I will tell you his name!"

"Okay, it's a deal!"

"A word is settled!"

After hanging up the phone, Wu Chaoxiong looked at the two of them.

"This Luo Rui, I never thought he was so capable. Qin Province is thousands of kilometers away from here, but he helped the Qin Provincial Police solve the case just by looking at some information! What do you think we should do? Should we reward him?"

Zhu Yong and Wei Qunshan both shook their heads. The latter said, "Let's just pretend we know nothing. After all, Luo Rui is too young. He just won the first-class individual merit and the second-class collective merit a month ago. Besides, he hasn't graduated yet. He has won too many merits. I'm afraid he won't be motivated in the future."

Zhu Yong didn't think so: "Old Wei, I don't like what you said. You can't give him no reward at all, right? Otherwise, how can he be motivated in the future?"

Wu Chaoxiong took over the conversation: "The reward should still be given, but we will wait until he graduates and joins our police force. In addition, the letter Luo Rui sent anonymously is enough to show that he has no utilitarian motives and is sincere in wanting to solve this case."

Wei Qunshan nodded in agreement: "Indeed, he is a rare talent!"

The three of them fell silent, each thinking about how to treat this kid in the future.

It is obvious that Luo Rui's ability has exceeded the expectations of the bosses. If he is trained, he may very well be the most amazing crime-solving genius in Haidong Province!
……

the next morning.

As soon as Luo Rui came out of the training room, Mo Wanqiu pulled him and asked him to sit on the sofa.

"Hey, look, the TV is all about this news. I heard that the Qin Provincial Police solved the big case from eighteen years ago!"

Luo Rui narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the TV. The screen was reporting a press conference of the Qin Province police.

Because there were a large number of victims and the investigation took a long time, making it a major case of the century, the person sitting in the center of the press conference was the director of Qin Province, Li Hui.

He had a head full of white hair and was wearing a uniform. He answered every question from reporters.

When talking about how they changed their thinking on solving the case and captured the murderer in one fell swoop, Li Hui raised his head and looked towards the camera.

[This is thanks to the help of an anonymous person. It was he who helped us change our way of thinking and found the murderer's collateral relatives through large-scale DNA screening, which allowed this century's biggest case to be successfully solved. Thank him! But dear journalist friends, I'm sorry that I can't say his name! ]

Li Hui's words immediately aroused the curiosity of the reporters, and they began to whisper to each other. The reporters kept asking questions, but Li Hui did not answer.

Mo Wanqiu glanced at Luo Rui and said sarcastically, "Luo Rui, if you ask me, this unknown person is much more capable than you. Look at him, he did such a great deed but he didn't even reveal his name. Unlike you, you solve cases just to make money!"

"Yes, yes, you have a point!"

Luo Rui knew she was joking, but he still answered according to her wishes and was too lazy to argue with her.

He stood up, walked to the dining table, made a cup of instant coffee and drank it slowly.

Mo Wanqiu sat cross-legged on the sofa, picked up the remote control and wanted to change the channel.

But at this time, the TV screen turned to the victims' families.

The families of the eleven victims sat in the last row of the press conference, including men and women, elderly and children.

They looked sad, with tears on their faces.

The microphone was pointed at a middle-aged woman with a haggard face and sheepskin gloves on her hands. She held up a photo of a little girl and said to the camera with a sob, "Thank you...thank you for helping us! Although I don't know your name, I will remember your kindness for the rest of my life!"

A 30-year-old man also sobbed loudly, "Thank you, my mother's spirit in heaven can rest in peace now!"

This man's mother was the first victim eighteen years ago, when he was only twelve years old.

……

The family members of the victims all expressed their gratitude and bowed to the camera, and Mo Wanqiu's tears suddenly flowed.

At this moment, Luo Rui's body froze. He suppressed the throbbing in his heart and murmured in a weak voice: "You're welcome. This is what I should do!"

Mo Wanqiu seemed to have noticed something. She turned around and stared at Luo Rui with a hint of suspicion in her eyes.

"This unknown person, could it be you?"

Luo Rui quickly suppressed his emotions and denied, "How is that possible! Didn't you say that I solved the case to make money? For such a big case, I must get a lot of bonuses, right? If I don't make money, would I be stupid? If I don't make money, how can I support you in the future?"

Mo Wanqiu rolled his eyes and said guiltily, "It seems so. You are so greedy... But I don't eat much."

She felt guilty saying this, after all, the coffee table was full of snacks that had just been eaten, and even the packaging bags were still there.

Luo Rui went to the bedroom to change his clothes and prepared to go to school.

Before leaving, he asked, "Why, you're not going to class?"

Mo Wanqiu lay on the sofa and stretched lazily: "Sorry, I don't have class in the morning!"

"Lazy guy!" Luo Rui cursed.

He opened the door, but stopped to ask, "Where's your dad? Why haven't I seen him these past few days?"

Mo Wanqiu said angrily, "He's almost obsessed. He doesn't even go to the company. He stares at several computers every day, staring at the stock market without blinking. He never leaves his chair. My mother is almost going crazy with him."

When Luo Rui heard this, he quickly put on his shoes and went downstairs.

When he arrived at Mo Liguo's door, he banged on it.

He Chunhua's angry voice sounded behind the door: "Who is it? Why are you knocking so hard? Is my door yours?"

Luo Rui shouted: "Aunt He, it's me, Luo Rui!"

Hearing the sound, He Chunhua opened the door, and the displeasure on his face had already been hidden.

The more the mother-in-law looked at her son-in-law, the more she liked him. In her mind, Luo Rui was no longer the little gangster he used to be, but a rich son-in-law.

She asked with concern: "Looking for Wanqiu? She went to school an hour ago."

Go to hell, this woman is lying on the sofa in my house eating snacks.

Aunt He, you still don’t understand your daughter!

However, Luo Rui did not say this out loud, but replied: "No, I'm looking for Uncle Mo, where is he?"

When she heard her husband's name, He Chunhua immediately frowned and let Luo Rui into the house.

"Look, he's in the study. He's going crazy. He doesn't eat or sleep. He's almost become a god!"

Luo Rui quickly ran to the study and pushed open the door, only to see Mo Liguo with disheveled hair and untidy beard, staring at the data chart on the computer without moving, as if he had been injected with chicken blood.

When he saw Luo Rui, he jumped up.

"You came just in time. I didn't even have time to call you. We made a profit!"

Of course Luo Rui knew that he had made money. If he had not been delayed by study and training in recent days, he would not have thought about stocks now.

"How much did you make?"

Mo Liguo's eyes were red as he spoke a lot of professional terms, but Luo Rui was confused and interrupted him immediately: "Just tell me, how much did I earn, how much did you earn? Also, I asked you to open an account for my friend, how much did he earn, can you tell me the number?"

Mo Liguo sat back in his chair, calculated with a calculator for a while, then looked up: "This is not easy to calculate. In terms of numbers, excluding the principal, our total profit is 65 million, and your friend's account has made a profit of almost 400,000!"

Chen Hao's 5,000 yuan made a profit of 400,000 yuan?
That was impossible. Luo Rui used his own money to add to the principal of Chen Hao's account.

When he heard this number, he lost his initial excitement. He thought he had earned 100 million, but his excitement was in vain.

Seeing Luo Rui's expression, Mo Liguo asked in confusion, "So much money, and you still think it's not enough?"

"It's not much anyway. It's not worth it for me to rush downstairs and knock on your door."

Mo Liguo said earnestly, "Boy, greed leads to loss. Too much is as bad as too little. I have made so much money that I want to sell all my stocks."

Luo Rui immediately said, "No, wait a little longer. When you have 100 million, call me again. Uncle Mo, I can tell you that it will be difficult to encounter a bull market like this again in the next few years."

Mo Liguo also found it unbelievable. Although he planned to stop, he couldn't help but feel itchy in the face of huge profits.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, go slower!"

Luo Rui patted his father-in-law on the shoulder and said, "Uncle Mo, you've worked hard. I'll leave first."

After leaving the study, Luo Rui saw He Chunhua sitting on the sofa, cracking melon seeds, and couldn't help but say, "By the way, Aunt He, Mo Wanqiu is upstairs in my house. She skipped class."

When He Chunhua heard this, he immediately stood up from the sofa, picked up the feather duster and ran upstairs.

"You stupid girl, you tricked me into going to school, now I'll teach you a lesson! I'll beat your butt to pieces!"

Luo Rui couldn't help but shudder when he thought about that scene.

……

That evening, Haijiang Branch.

Du Feng and Cai Xiaojing rushed into Wei Qunshan's office one after another.

The latter was watering a pot of green plants on his desk. He was in a good mood and humming a song.

Du Feng glanced at Cai Xiaojing, then shouted to Wei Qunshan: "Director Wei, the 88 major case in Qin Province has been solved!"

In fact, Cai Xiaojing also came to ask this question, because both of them are front-line criminal police officers and are very busy with work, and they only found out about this matter today.

Wei Qunshan didn't even raise his head and replied, "It's broken, so what are you panicking about?"

Du Feng asked doubtfully: "Could it be Luo Rui?"

Cai Xiaojing also opened her eyes wide and looked at her leader.

Wei Qunshan then raised his head and said, "Yes, it was the anonymous letter he wrote."

Du Feng took a deep breath and said, "Why not make it public? If we make it public, we can suppress the city bureau. Wu Dahao is very arrogant now. He has solved many old cases. It's only the beginning of the year, and their case-solving rate is almost higher than ours!"

Wei Qunshan glanced at Cai Xiaojing and saw the smile on her lips, and he knew that she was happy for Luo Rui.

When Cai Xiaojing saw her leader's gaze, she quickly put away her smile.

Wei Qunshan looked at Du Feng again: "They are the Municipal Bureau, which is our superior unit. You still want to surpass them in solving cases. You are really greedy. Why don't you compete with the Linjiang City Police Department?"

Du Feng curled his lips: "There is Chen Hao in the Linjiang City Police Department, who can compare with him?"

Wei Qunshan put down the kettle and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. No one of you is allowed to tell anyone about what Luo Rui did."

Du Feng said angrily: "Okay, but I really feel sorry for Luo Rui."

Wei Qunshan rolled his eyes at him and said nothing more.

Du Feng and Cai Xiaojing were just about to leave when they saw Chu Yang running over.

"Captain Du, Captain Cai, we just received a report from the public that a female corpse was found near the cement factory!"

There had not been a murder case in Haijiang District for two months. Upon hearing the news, Du Feng quickly perked up.

The two immediately went downstairs, got in the police car, and headed to the crime scene.
