Detective: From the Police Academy

Chapter 204 Major clues
Eleven o'clock in the evening, Shanghe Community, Room 306.

Li Nong's wife Chi Ai brought two glasses of water and handed them to Luo Rui and Fang Yonghui who were sitting on the mahogany bench.

The door of the study was open, and from the living room one could see a boy who looked like a junior high school student doing his homework in the study.

He was not concentrating, his eyes looked towards the living room from time to time, and the tip of his pen had turned into a black ink ball on the textbook.

Chi Ai walked over, closed the study door gently, and then returned to the living room.

"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry to bother you so late."

Before Luo Rui could speak, Fang Yonghui spoke first.

After all, Li Nong was Fang Yonghui's superior. Although he did not accept him as an apprentice, he followed Li Nong for several days and they had some friendship.

Chi Ai sat on a chair with her hands on her knees. Her eyes were red and swollen and her face looked tired.

"Even if you didn't come, I would have to look for you. Lao Li has been missing for two days. What happened to him? Did he die? Or did he do something to let the organization down? You have to give me an explanation!"

As soon as he entered Li Nong's house, Luo Rui looked around carefully. The furniture in the house was very simple and there was not a single valuable item.

A photo of the family of three was hung in front of the TV. Li Nong was wearing a police uniform, and he and his wife were holding their three-year-old son.

This is a completely ordinary policeman's home.

If there is anything worth showing off, it is the police hat and navy blue police uniform hanging on the coat rack in the entrance. They are ironed straight without a single wrinkle.

As the captain of the criminal police brigade of Shahe County, Li Nong is very busy at work and it is common for him to stay up late and work overtime.

His wife used to be a nurse at the county people's hospital. After her son entered junior high school, she quit her job and focused on taking care of her husband and children at home.

Chi Ai's words choked Fang Yonghui, who was completely unable to respond.

Luo Rui was also slightly moved. He had checked the information in detail in the afternoon. Chi Ai noticed that Li Nong was missing and a sum of one million was suddenly transferred to his bank card.

She chose to call the police immediately and called Lu Kangming directly.

This woman is very responsive and decisive. Being a housewife for many years has not made her lose her judgment.

There is no doubt that she understands her husband, trusts him, and knows the risks he will face.

It is for this reason that Luo Rui felt he should come here.

"Ms. Chi, the last phone call between you and Li Da was at 12:50 on September 3rd? What did he say at that time?"

Chi Ai pondered for a while and said, "I called him because he didn't sleep the night before and was reading materials in the study. He left the house without even eating breakfast in the morning. At noon, I called him to tell him about his son's school. The call lasted only one minute. He was very anxious at the time and hung up after a few words."

"In the afternoon, his phone was turned off and I couldn't find him. At 6 o'clock that evening, a text message on my mobile phone showed that someone had transferred 1 million yuan to my bank card. I called my husband again, but his phone was still turned off, so I called the police!"

Luo Rui asked: "Do you know who transferred the money to your bank card?"

Chi Ai shook her head and asked the second question that Luo Rui wanted to ask.

"Bank accounts are very private. Apart from my husband, only my former employer, the County People's Hospital's finance department, knows my account because this bank card is my salary card."

The bank card has been used as evidence, and the county bureau has commissioned the information department of the municipal bureau to investigate the bank that transferred the money and the specific remitter.

As for Chi Ai's bank card account, where did the other party get it from? It would probably be difficult to investigate!
Luo Rui nodded, and then said: "Ms. Chi, please think carefully, what was Li Da reading in his study the night before he disappeared?"

Chi Ai shook his head: "I don't know. When he was working, he wouldn't let me into the study. He even complained that I was nagging when I poured him a glass of water."

Luo Rui asked: "Can I go into the study and take a look?"

Chi Ai stood up: "Okay."

Luo Rui went with her. Although it was called a study room, there were actually not many books in it. The bookcases were filled with the children's old textbooks and study materials.

Seeing someone coming in, Li Nong's son put down his pen and looked at Luo Rui.

Chi Ai explained: "My husband doesn't read much, unless he is dealing with official documents at night. He is in this study room, and usually my son uses it."

After she finished speaking, her son asked, "Mom, is Dad really missing?"

Chi Ai glanced at him and said, "Go back to your bedroom!"

"Will my dad be in danger?"

"I told you to go back to the bedroom!"

The boy stood up and put away the textbooks on the desk, saying, "My dad must have gone to find someone!"

Luo Rui was checking the bookcase. When he heard this, his eyes froze. He turned around and asked, "Who is he looking for?"

"Look, this is the person!" He opened the cover of the math textbook and saw a name written on the title page.

"My dad always writes on my textbooks. If he can't remember something, he just takes it from my textbooks or papers from the desk and uses it."

Luo Rui quickly grabbed the math textbook and saw a name on the title page: Lin Jinquan.

"Are you sure this was written by your father on the night of September 2nd?"

The boy nodded solemnly: "I'm sure, school starts on September 1st, and my math textbook was just handed down, it's brand new!"

He took out old textbooks and exercise books from the bookcase, flipped through them and said, "Look, these were all written by my dad!"

After Luo Rui took it, he saw some numbers and simple scribbles. Many of them were sudden inspirations about a certain case that were casually written down.

Lin Jinquan?
Luo Rui thought about it in his mind. This was a completely unfamiliar name. Even in the task force meeting, this person's name had never appeared.

He called Fang Yonghui, and the two of them searched the desk for a long time, but there were no other recent records except the name in the math textbook.

Luo Rui patted the boy on the shoulder: "Thank you!"

The two were about to leave, but they saw Chi Ai standing there in a daze, her eyes lowered, her arms folded across her chest, thinking about something.

"Ms. Chi?"

Chi Ai exclaimed, raised his head, and said in a deep voice: "Lin Jinquan, I seem to know this person."

……

At twelve o'clock in the evening, Luo Rui had just got into the car when he received a call from Zhao Ming.

"Luo Rui, I've done what you asked me to do. Should I send it to you via QQ or fax it to you?"

"I'm going back to the bureau now. I'll give you a number and you can fax it to me!"

"Well!"

"Brother Ming, thank you. When I return to Guangxing City, I will give you and Uncle Zhao a bottle of Moutai each!"

"You're welcome. Don't send my dad any wine. If you want to send anything, just give him tea."

"Row!"

Luo Rui hung up the phone. Zhao Ming's skills were indeed very good. His father, Zhao Chunlai, was also a senior forensic doctor, registered with the provincial department. Both father and son were treasures. He would have to trouble them many times in the future, so he had to maintain their relationship.

Half an hour later, the two returned to the county bureau. The lights on the upper floor of the Criminal Investigation Brigade were on, and there was no sign of getting off work. They must be still investigating the murder case of Yan Yun and his wife.

For homicide cases, especially current ones, there is a saying that there is a golden 72 hours. Whether it is the evidence at the scene or the memory of the witnesses, they are the clearest at that time. If the case is not solved within 72 hours, the difficulty of solving the case will increase exponentially.

As the deputy captain, one can imagine the pressure He Bing is under.

Walking through the corridor and arriving at his office, Luo Rui saw a vertical stainless steel sign nailed to the side of the office with the name: Shahe County Criminal Group.

It goes without saying that this must have been made overnight by someone Sun Gong had ordered to do so.

He knew that Luo Rui was somewhat unhappy with him and was showing it.

After pushing the door open, Zheng Rong, Yang Bo and Peng Jie immediately stood up. Sun Gong was sitting against the wall, looking a little listless, but he still stood up.

"Master, did you gain anything?"

Zheng Rong nodded: "We went straight to find the car. Li Da's Ford did enter Huangsha Port, but Huangsha Port is too large. In addition to the port, there is also a town next to it. To find the person and the car, we must have the help of the police dog squadron, and we still need to organize manpower. It's a bit difficult for just a few of us."

After several hours of investigation, Yang Bo figured it out: "I don't know what Chief Lu is thinking. He should have cast a wide net to search for the suspect long ago. Although the Criminal Investigation Team has a murder case to investigate, it's OK to organize ordinary police officers to conduct a carpet search. We're sure we'll find the suspect."

Luo Rui didn't say anything. After waiting for a while, the fax machine next to him rang and spit out a piece of A4 paper.

Sun Gong hurried over and handed the information to Luo Rui.

This is the surveillance footage that Luo Rui sent to Zhao Ming, but the picture is clearer and Li Nong's profile can be seen clearly, including the thing on his knees.

It was a document, and on the title page it read: Huijing Biopharmaceutical Company.

"What is Li Dacha doing?"

Zheng Rong also came over to take a look, and asked with some confusion.

But Fang Zhihui next to him suddenly changed his expression.

Luo Rui narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Sun Gong: "You should get off work first!"

It was already early morning, and Sun Gong could no longer hold on. But after hearing this, he hesitated for a moment and said helplessly, "Okay, fine, I'll go!"

This is clearly an attempt to exclude him, and even a fool can see that.

After he left, Luo Rui was not in a hurry to analyze the clues found today, but looked at Yang Bo and Peng Jie.

The two felt embarrassed being stared at and looked at each other for several times.

Yang Bo asked, "What's wrong? Did I make a mistake?"

Peng Jie was also puzzled: "You are not going to chase us away too?"

Luo Rui shook his head and looked at a few people.

"What I'm going to say next is very important. Everyone listen carefully. We are a team now. There are some things that we can't hide from each other. Without this sense of trust, we can't continue the investigation. But at the same time, we can't tell outsiders about the clues we find. This is very important!

The withdrawal of the task force is most likely due to an insider! It could be someone from Shahe County or the city. I don’t want one of us to be a traitor. If that’s the case, I don’t need to tell you what will happen to us!”

Yang Bo and Peng Jie opened their eyes wide. Although they had already guessed this was the case, since Luo Rui had said it, their guess should be correct.

Luo Rui's warning is not groundless, it is something that must be said.

Yang Bo, Peng Jie, and Zheng Rong all nodded solemnly.

There is no need to question or argue. If you are not a spy, you naturally have a clear conscience!

I feel somewhat confident that I can still stand in this office.

Fang Yonghui agreed with this. A few hours ago, when they came out of Gu Zhiliang's villa, Luo Rui had told him everything in detail, about the task force, what Li Nong was investigating, who was related to his disappearance, etc.

Fang Yonghui is still so shocked that he is speechless. Shahe County is really a den of dragons and tigers, deep and unfathomable.

Then, everyone started working for several hours.

It was not until three o'clock in the morning that the five people could no longer bear it and fell asleep in their office chairs.

At eight o'clock in the morning, the office door was opened and Sun Gong brought breakfast.

Several people went to the bathroom to wash their faces and started eating breakfast without even brushing their teeth.

Luo Rui chewed the dough sticks while looking at Sun Gong: "Take us to the armory later."

"Ah? You want to get a gun?" "Why?"

Sun Gong said with difficulty: "This, you have to talk to Director Lu or Political Commissar Yang."

"Row!"

Luo Rui stood up from the chair and was about to go out, but he saw Lu Kangming appear at the door, looking at the sign outside the door.

"Shahe County Criminal Team, not bad!"

Luo Rui stepped forward and greeted him: "Good morning, Director Lu."

"Good morning, Director Lu!"

……

Fang Yonghui and Zheng Rong also greeted them. Yang Bo and Peng Jie were both local police officers. They had no position and no merit. They had never met such a high-ranking leader before and could only see him at conferences or when the leader came to inspect the station.

The two were a little nervous and quickly put the soy milk in their hands on the table.

Lu Kangming looked at Zheng Rong.

"Old Zheng, long time no see!"

"Director Lu, you are getting younger and younger." Zheng Rong joked and lowered his head to take a sip of soy milk.

Lu Kangming laughed: "You, I remember fifteen years ago, when I transferred you to the Criminal Investigation Brigade of the County Bureau, you didn't come, saying that you wanted to serve ordinary people. Now seeing you following Luo Rui to handle cases, I feel a little dazed."

Zheng Rong didn't care: "If it weren't for my apprentice, I wouldn't have gotten involved in this matter."

Lu Kangming hummed and said, "Director Pang has submitted your retirement application, and I have also submitted it to the county party committee. You should receive a notice in the next few days. You have lung cancer, how can you not go for a check-up! You have served the people for a lifetime, you can't go to work while you are sick!"

Zheng Rong nodded and said meaningfully: "Okay, let's wait until my apprentice has established a firm foothold!"

Lu Kangming chuckled. Zheng Rong's words had multiple meanings, but he was too lazy to delve into them.

Then, Luo Rui said, "Director Lu, we plan to equip them with guns!"

Lu Kangming's expression immediately changed, and he asked with wide eyes, "What did you find out? Any clues?"

Luo Rui nodded slightly, but didn't say anything specific.

Lu Kangming knew that he had concerns, but the issue of carrying guns was a serious matter and he couldn't ignore it.

"You come with me!"

Luo Rui had no choice but to follow him, and the two of them entered Yang Yunqiao's office.

……

Lin Jinquan was born in Shahe County, Linjiang City.

He disappeared on May 1st fifteen years ago. Before his disappearance, he was a medical representative of Huijing Biopharmaceutical Company.

Huijing Biopharmaceuticals is a Sino-foreign joint venture located in Linjiang City.

The reason why Li Nong's wife knew Lin Jinquan was that before she got married, she was a nurse at the County People's Hospital.

At that time, Lin Jinquan would go to the county people's hospital once a week to sell their pharmaceutical factory's medicines to the hospital director and president.

Because he is from Shahe County and his hometown is also in Shahe County, this is his main battlefield.

A week before he disappeared, Huijing Biopharmaceuticals fired him on the grounds that he had embezzled company property. However, strangely, the company did not report the case to the police nor did it ask him to compensate for the losses.

A few hours ago, Fang Yonghui checked Lin Jinquan's registered residence and found that his hometown was in Huanggang Township, Huangshagang.

It is not difficult to guess why Li Nong wrote down this name, took the information of Huijing Biopharma, and drove to Huangsha Port.

He must have wanted to go to Lin Jinquan's hometown to look for clues, because Lin Jinquan had a wife there and they had no children.

……

At nine o'clock in the morning, a Mitsubishi SUV was driving on Shahe Avenue.

Fang Yonghui said as he drove: "Lin Jinquan's wife was Gan Yongfang. She was only 20 years old when she married Lin Jinquan. After he disappeared, Gan Yongfang married a ship captain. Her current husband is Ma Shubing.

Ma Shubing has a dredging ship and works for the Wuyuan sand quarry all year round.

This is the information Fang Yonghui had found out before. Because time is tight, he only has time to tell Luo Rui and others now.

Upon hearing about the Wuyuan Sand Mining Ground, Luo Rui, who was sitting in the passenger seat, touched the pistol on his back.

The same was true for Zheng Rong and Yang Bo, with serious expressions on their faces. As Peng Jie was an auxiliary police officer, he was not qualified to carry a gun and could only use a telescopic baton.

Moreover, everyone was wearing stab-proof clothing, and the car was equipped with explosion-proof shields, steel forks, etc.

Half an hour ago, Luo Rui told Lu Kangming and Yang Yunqiao the clues he had found.

No matter what, they are the bigwigs in Shahe County’s public security system. Luo Rui cannot hide it, let alone act alone and let the criminal team become lone wolves.

Yang Yunqiao suggested sending more manpower, but Luo Rui thought that they should find out the situation first.

If he finds Li Nong's whereabouts or encounters any obstacles, he will notify the county bureau immediately.

Moreover, in order to cooperate with Luo Rui's investigation, the Criminal Investigation Brigade has suspended the homicide investigation at this time, and the police dog squadron and the special police squadron are on standby at all times!
In the car, everyone was silent.

Yang Bo and Peng Jie, in particular, were very nervous.

Luo Rui sought their opinion, saying that if they did not want to go with them, they could stay in the county bureau, but neither of them agreed.

This is not alarmist!

Li Nong is the captain of the criminal investigation team, but he could still disappear. You can imagine how dangerous this is.

Lin Jinquan was a medical representative of Huijing Biopharma. He was dismissed for embezzling company property, but the company did not report the case or hold him criminally responsible.

And a week later, on May 1st, Lin Jinquan disappeared. The public announcement was that he had fled because he had embezzled company property.

On the same day, Gu Zhiliang set fire to Zhang Jun's fishing boat.

If Zhang Jun was making the D on the boat, then we can infer what the company's property that Lin Jinquan embezzled might be?
Fifteen years ago, the DP that appeared in Linjiang City was Bing!
Ephedra jian is the main raw material.

Huijing Biopharma is a Sino-foreign joint venture, with foreign capital accounting for the majority, so the county bureau has called the municipal bureau, hoping that the Linjiang City Narcotics Squadron can find some clues from it.

The Mitsubishi SUV drove towards Huangsha Port, and we could already see dredging ships parked on the sand river on the left.

A few minutes later, Luo Rui opened the car window and looked at the surveillance camera on the right.

It was here that Li Nong was captured on camera by road surveillance.

Ma Shubing's home is in a town, a three-story building with a small store downstairs. Next to the store is a small restaurant where several people are sitting, eating.

This street is located in a slightly prosperous area, with supermarkets, fruit stalls and snack bars everywhere.

The road was covered with dust and the apples and bananas at the fruit stalls were covered with pieces of corrugated cardboard.

Fang Yonghui parked the car on the side of the road. Before Luo Rui got out of the car, he noticed that several people in the snack bar raised their heads and looked at him.

Zheng Rong also noticed that these people were all young people, their eyes were wandering and they were not focused.

Luo Rui turned around and looked at Zheng Rong: "Master, Yonghui and I will get off the car first, you stay in the car. Peng Jie, you sit in the driver's seat, and don't turn off the engine!"

Peng Jie said, “Okay!”

Zheng Rong retorted: "Why? Do you think I'm too old? If you ask me, I'll get off the car with you and Yonghui will stay in the car.

You two are both 1.85 meters tall, one is 1.9 meters tall, and I can tell at first glance that there is something wrong with you!
I am different. I look like an old man at first glance."

Luo Rui thought about it and it was not wrong, but Zheng Rong was about to retire...

Before he could say anything, Zheng Rong had already opened the car door and got out.

"Yonghui, stay in the car and keep an eye on those guys!"

"no problem!"

Luo Rui also got out of the car quickly, and then glanced at the restaurant next door, only to see a young man put down his chopsticks, took out a cigarette case, and seemed to be going to the door to smoke.

Luo Rui withdrew his gaze and followed Zheng Rong to the entrance of the convenience store.

There was a plastic curtain covering the door, and it seemed that the air conditioner was on inside.

Zheng Rong lifted the door curtain and Luo Rui walked in with him.

Seeing someone coming in, a woman in her thirties behind the counter immediately stood up, holding a sleeping girl in her arms. The girl was only three years old.

Seeing that the two people who came in didn't look like they were buying anything, she immediately asked, "You..."

"Hello, I'm looking for someone."

Luo Rui and Zheng Rong looked at the photo and found that the woman was Lin Jinquan’s ex-wife, Gan Yongfang.

Upon hearing this, Gan Yongfang's face immediately showed a look of panic.

"I... I'm selling things. Please leave. I don't have the person you are looking for here..."

Without waiting for her to finish her words, Luo Rui took out Li Nong's photo and handed it to her.

"Did this person come to see you?"

Gan Yongfang didn't even look at the photo and shook his head vigorously: "No, no... I don't know him!"

Luo Rui and Zheng Rong looked at each other, and then Zheng Rong said, "Look carefully, his name is Li Nong, and he is a policeman. He did come to your place on the afternoon of September 3rd!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a man walked in from the back door of the convenience store.

"Go! Go! Who are you? You? If you don't want to sell anything, get out!"

Luo Rui blocked him in front of him, took out his ID and put it in front of him: "Ma Shubing, the police are investigating the case, you'd better cooperate."

When his name was called, Ma Shubing swallowed his saliva and whispered, "You'd better leave here quickly and don't kill our family!"

"Kill you?"

Luo Rui narrowed his eyes slightly, Ma Shubing's face looked sad, and his throat kept shaking.

At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside.

"Master, you keep an eye on them. I'll go out and take a look."

Luo Rui lifted the door curtain and ran out immediately, only to see that the Mitsubishi car had been surrounded by a dozen thugs.

The leaders were several people in the restaurant. One of the burly men in the lead shouted, "Come on, everyone! These people are here to collect debts. Lao Ma's family owes usury, and these people are here to move things. They also want to take Lao Ma's wife to the county to sell her body!"

"We can't let them move the things. Old Ma finally found a wife and had a daughter. We can't let these debt collectors bully us!"

"Smash their cars! Smash their cars! The people of Huanggang Township are not so easy to bully!"
