Detective: From the Police Academy

Chapter 290 New Suspect

Jiuling Coal Mine, 1:00 p.m.

The coal mine is very large. According to statistics after bankruptcy liquidation, the annual coal output is 120 million tons, supporting tens of thousands of people in Jiuling Town.

Logically speaking, if the business is managed well, it will not result in losses.

But everyone knows that whether a company can make money or not does not depend on your management ability, but on the faces of others.

Even if you are a strong enterprise like Wan Da, if you want to develop locally, you will still be restricted by certain bigwigs.

The coal mine is located halfway up the mountain, with a road leading directly to Jiuling Town.

The road is a bumpy dirt road, and because the coal mine has been abandoned for more than ten years, the road is overgrown with weeds.

Lin Chen sat in the passenger seat. As the police car moved forward, she looked at both sides of the road.

An abandoned shack appears from time to time on both sides of the road.

These shacks were small shops run by locals in the early years, some selling breakfast, some selling fruits, and some being simple convenience stores.

Lin Chen saw that the door of a bungalow was open, the door panel had rotted, and there were two smashed slot machines inside.

In those years, workers in the coal mines were paid in cash and there was no such thing as paying taxes.

This money is either used for food and drink or for gambling. No matter which construction site it is, as long as the company pays cash, gambling is inevitable.

Those who are married and have families are fine, but those who are single or can feed the whole family go to the gambling table as soon as they get the money, and lose all the money they have worked hard for a month in one night.

At this time, the rain was still falling and the wipers on the windshield were constantly scraping away the water stains.

Because the road was so bad, the police car drove very slowly, swaying from side to side.

After Lin Chen glanced at the tablet, he turned to look at Wang Mu who was sitting in the back seat.

"Director Wang."

Wang Mu opened his eyes and asked, "What's wrong?"

"The anti-trafficking office has replied."

"What did they say?"

"Although the technical team conducted DNA tests on the five dead children, these children did not have specific appearances and could not be compared with the missing database, so they did not know where these children came from or who their parents were."

"Idiot!" Wang Mu cursed.

Lin Chen stuck out his tongue and said nothing.

Kang Bolin, who was sitting on the side, moved his butt and glanced at Wang Mu out of the corner of his eye.

"Liu Jiafu runs long-distance passenger transport, and there are only a few places. Let them contact the local city and county bureaus to compare their missing persons database! Moreover, the skeletons of the five children can determine their ages. According to their age groups, we can identify the parents of the abducted children and do DNA testing. Even if it costs a lot of money, it is worth it!

These five children have been buried in the cellar for more than ten years. If we don't find their biological parents, are we still qualified to be police officers? "

"Yes!" It was Kang Bolin who answered. After all, Lin Chen was from the provincial department, and the anti-trafficking office might not believe her.

He picked up the phone and dialed a number.

Wang Mu raised his hand and said, "Also, Liu Jiafu and Ding Li have been trafficking XX for so many years, it's impossible that they are the only ones, they must have accomplices, either in Linjiang City or in other provinces, tell the anti-trafficking office and the local police station to dig deep into Liu Jiafu's whereabouts over the years and control all these people!"

"I understand." Kang Bolin gritted his teeth.

This case involves too many things, from the initial bus robbery and murder case, the car accident resulted in the death of two police officers and the injury of Wan Mingxia, and then there was the trafficking of children and illegal workers, as well as the Jiuling Coal Mine's cover-up of illegal workers and mine accidents. These cases accumulated together are simply a shocking case.

Even if one case is picked out individually, it would be a shocking case, not to mention that these cases are connected together.

But fortunately, the media has not yet received any definite news. They only know about the bus robbery and murder case, and have not reported the case on a large scale.

Kang Bolin finished the call and just put down the phone when it rang again.

He glanced at the screen and said, "It's Luo Rui's call."

Hearing this, Lin Chen turned around and stared at him curiously.

Wang Mu also sat up straight.

Kang Bolin looked at their expressions, answered the call, and turned on the speakerphone.

"Luo Rui?"

"Lao Kang, I just finished interrogating Shi Mingdong..."

Wang Mu immediately snatched the phone from Kang Bolin and urged, "What did he say?"

Luo Rui paused for a moment on the phone, then recounted the interrogation record in detail.

"According to Shi Mingdong's confession, Jiuling Coal Mine did employ illegal workers, and the whereabouts of the other three children remain unknown.

In addition, more than one mine collapsed, and the No. 13 mine, the innermost of the mine, collapsed at the same time. This incident was covered up by the person in charge of the coal mine. "

Hearing this, several people in the car were startled.

Wang Mu asked quickly, "Covered up? How did you cover it up?"

"When the accident happened 13 years ago, the firefighters and police officers who rushed to the scene counted the registered workers at the coal mine and found that only six workers were killed. However, Mine No. was a half-mined mine and was not recorded.

Besides, these illegal workers don’t have ID cards, so their information won’t appear on the list of employees…”

At the end, Luo Rui added: "They have been forgotten!"

They have been forgotten!
These words echoed in everyone's ears, like a heavy hammer, hitting everyone's heart.

After a long silence, Wang Mu asked, "Luo Rui, what do you want us to do now?"

Lin Chen looked at her master in surprise. She understood her teacher's character. He always had his own opinions on the direction, especially when it came to criminal investigations. He would not tolerate anyone else interfering. But now, he began to seek Luo Rui's opinion.

Luo Rui pondered on the phone: "Among the children Liu Jiafu sold to the mine, in addition to the two children beaten to death by Jia Quan, there is another one. I think he should be the mastermind of the robbery and murder case, Nie Lin. As for the others, they may be in the No. 13 mine shaft."

Wang Mu swallowed his saliva and said, "I understand. I will call for help immediately, send more people, and dispatch large excavators. I will do whatever it takes, even if it means digging out every mine."

"Okay then, let me handle this Jia Quan..."

"Row!"

"Director Wang, let's keep in touch. That's it for now."

"Wait a moment!"

Luo Rui was about to hang up the phone, but was stopped by Wang Mu.

Wang Mu licked his lips: "Luo Rui, you did a great job!"

Luo Rui was stunned on the phone for a moment, then replied: "Thank you."

After hanging up the phone, Wang Mu sighed and returned the phone to Kang Bolin.

"Call for backup, and... call the city bureau and ask them to bring Shi Mingdong here."

Kang Bolin responded and quickly contacted people.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the rain was still falling and the sky was so low that it made it hard to breathe.

The area around the No. 13 mine shaft of Jiuling Coal Mine is filled with large machinery. In addition, hundreds of people from the police, fire and engineering teams are wearing raincoats and standing on the ground covered with coal ash.

As Shi Mingdong said, the No. 13 mine is separated by an iron fence twenty meters away, and outside the fence is the coal mining area.

That year, the mine where the collapse occurred was 13 meters away from here, but the rescue team was there, while no one at Mine No. cared.

A rain shelter was built on site, under which were placed a row of chairs, several tables, and piles of mineral water and instant noodles.

Because it was raining and the sky was dark, three large searchlights were set up on the site, and the lights were aimed at the No. 13 mine under the cliff.

Shi Mingdong sat in a chair and saw the scene, feeling a chill in his heart.

Seeing several people wearing police raincoats approaching, he quickly stood up.

"Several police officers."

Kang Bolin had a blank expression on his face. He wiped the rain off his face and asked, "Shi Mingdong, let me ask you again, are you sure that all these children are buried under the mine?"

Kang Bolin had no good face towards this old man. When Kou Tao and Wu Qiang were arrested, he invited this old man to question him, but the other party did not tell him about this matter.

If it wasn't really impossible to conceal it any further, Shi Mingdong probably wouldn't have spoken out until now.

Shi Mingdong understood his situation. Although he did not participate in the murder, he would be charged with the crime of harboring and concealing a crime, so he answered very positively.

"Eleven years ago, the first collapse occurred in Mine No. 13 at a.m. I saw workers going down the mine.

Xin Zongliang and Hong Wei originally planned to keep it secret, but who knew that half a day later, Mine No. 8 also collapsed.

When they reported the accident, they only reported Mine No. 8. When the rescue workers arrived, they were only carrying out rescue work at Mine No. 8.

No one cares about Mine No. 13..."

Kang Bolin gritted his teeth and said, "Shi Mingdong, you have kept it a secret for so many years! Do you know that you are no different from a beast?!"

Shi Mingdong's face turned red, and he immediately lowered his head, not daring to say a word.

"I'm telling you, don't even think about getting away with such a serious accident!" Kang Bolin was still not satisfied and kept cursing.

Wang Mu waved his hand at him, then asked Shi Mingdong, "How deep is Mine No. 13?"

"This is a newly developed mine, and it's not mature yet. I remember the depth was less than 300 meters."

"Three hundred meters!" Wang Mu was stunned.

At this time, a man wearing a yellow safety helmet and a raincoat came over.

Kang Bolin hurried over and asked: "How is the situation in the mine?"

The person in charge of the engineering team made a bitter face and shook his head: "I have tested it. The preliminary estimate is that the bottom of the well is 259 meters, and 150 meters are underwater. It will take several days to pump out the water.

There is also a landslide below. We have to dig several dozen meters to get to the bottom, and it is very dangerous.”

"Then add a few more pumps!"

The person in charge hesitated, rubbed his hands, and looked like he had something to grievance.

Kang Bolin sighed and said, "Okay, pay more! You tell me a number and I'll give it to you in batches."

"That's fine! I'll arrange it right away."

The rain was getting heavier. A dozen workers in raincoats, under the light of searchlights, carried eight pumps and walked towards Mine No. 13.

In less than an hour, the equipment was set up.

Then, eight water pipes rolled on the ground and were pulled into a deep pit in the coal mine.

Immediately afterwards, there was a loud bang, and eight pumps started at the same time.

The eight shrunken water pipes immediately swelled up, and the turbid black well water poured into the deep pit...

Eleven o'clock at night.

Linjiang City, Liyuan Community.

This is a relatively high-end residential area, and you can only enter after the security guard lets you in.

Even if the owner drives back, he can only honk the horn.

There were two security guards on duty in the security room. They were sitting in front of the monitors, holding bowls of instant noodles.

Tian Guanghan, who was wearing a security uniform, muttered, "If you ask me, just arrest him directly. He may not take the bait if he stays here in the middle of the night."

Su Mingyuan took a sip of soup and smacked his lips, "You know nothing. Jia Quan will be caught sooner or later. He can't get away. The most important thing now is to catch Nie Lin. He is the most dangerous."

Tian Guanghan put down the instant noodle box and burped. "Who knows if Nie Lin will come to seek revenge."

"If you want to complain, go find your team leader, don't complain to me!"

"Hey, if I had the guts, I would have been the captain of the criminal police team long ago." Tian Guanghan curled his lips: "But then again, compared to guarding Liu Yong in the hospital, it's better to guard him here. At least there is a chance to make meritorious service."

Su Mingyuan sighed: "This Liu Yong is also a pitiful man."

"Who says it's not true? Anyone would go crazy if they were in his place. Not only was he trafficked, but he was also abused by Liu Jiafu and Ding Li."

Su Mingyuan frowned and asked, "Old Tian, ​​do you think he is pretending to be crazy?"

"What do you mean?"

"Look, according to the clues we found, Liu Yong was already in his teens when he was abducted. Logically, Liu Jiafu and his wife must have sold him to the coal mine as an illegal worker, but because he was mentally ill, the mine didn't want such a person, so Liu Jiafu kept him and treated him as his own son.

If he was a normal person, would he have been sold? He is alive today only because he pretended to be crazy."

Tian Guanghan rolled his eyes: "Are you Sherlock Holmes? If Liu Yong pretended to be crazy, could he have pretended to be crazy for more than ten years? Besides, the doctors have confirmed that he does have mental problems."

Su Mingyuan was not convinced: "Anyway, I think Liu Yong is not that simple. We stayed with him in the hospital for two days, and he didn't cry or make a fuss. He was just fine."

"Why is he acting like nothing happened? The team leader asked him questions at noon, but he acted like a fool and forgot all the questions he answered before. Besides, Liu Jiafu and Ding Li don't care about him. The couple spent so much money to find a daughter-in-law just to have grandchildren.

The son is not his own, and although the grandson is not related by blood, he is a legitimate descendant of the Liu family, which is better than being kidnapped."

Su Mingyuan sighed: "What's the difference between this person and a beast..."

Before he finished speaking, the phone rang.

Tian Guanghan took out his cell phone and glanced at the screen: "It's the team leader."

After answering the phone, Tian Guanghan said: "Jia Quan is back!"

In less than two minutes, car horns were heard outside the community.

Tian Guanghan took out the remote control and pressed the button.

They didn't dare show up, but just stood in front of the window, watching the electric fence move away and a BMW drive into the community.

Jia Quan was driving the car, and a beautiful woman was sitting in the passenger seat.

Tian Guanghan complained: "What a dog, relying on his brother-in-law, driving a luxury car, living in a high-end community, and finding such a beautiful lover!"

Su Mingyuan did not reply, but picked up a document from the desk. There was a photo of Jia Quan in the upper right corner. After comparing the two, he said, "It's definitely him."

The file records Jia Quan's detailed information. He is 38 years old, married, has a pair of children, and his wife and daughter live in another community.

Half a month ago, he got a mistress and usually stayed overnight at her place.

Since the Jiuling Coal Mine went bankrupt and its owner Xin Zongliang fled, Jia Quan has not worked for more than ten years, but still lives a well-off life. No one knows where his money came from.

Tian Guanghan and Su Mingyuan were called here to wait. Of course they knew that the other party had two lives on his hands, and those were the lives of two children.

When Tian Guanghan saw Jia Quan’s face full of flesh, he felt so angry that his teeth itched.

Even so, in order to catch the mastermind of the bus robbery and murder case, they dare not arrest anyone on their own.

Su Mingyuan returned to the monitor and the screen showed a white BMW parked downstairs of a garden house.

Jia Quan's residence was on the second floor. After getting out of the car, he put his arm around his mistress's shoulders and walked into the corridor.

The surveillance cameras were temporarily installed in the afternoon. There are a total of eight surveillance cameras surrounding the garden house. There is no blind spot. Once a suspect appears, he will be discovered immediately.

Moreover, all the residents on the first and third floors of this garden house were persuaded to leave, which means that in the entire building, there are only Jia Quan and his mistress, and...

At this time, footsteps and voices were heard in the corridor.

"Jia Quan, tell me the truth, when will you divorce your wife?"

"Why do you want a divorce? Isn't it good enough now? I live with you every day, and you're still not satisfied?" Jia Quan put his arm around his mistress' shoulders with a lit cigarette in his mouth.

"That's different! How can I marry you if we don't get divorced?" The woman pouted unwillingly.

Jia Quan pinched her buttocks and said, "How about this, wait until my two children grow up, then we can talk about this. I tell you, my wife has known about you for a long time. If it really doesn't work out, it won't be a problem for the three of us to live together."

"Tsk, you wish!"

"No, this is normal. My brother-in-law is like this when he is abroad. He enjoys the happiness of having two wives."

When talking about this, the woman's eyes flashed with hesitation, and then she asked: "I heard that your brother-in-law was very rich before?"

"That's right!" Jia Quan replied, but then he sighed: "But things are different now. Ever since the coal mine accident, my brother-in-law has been hiding abroad and has not come back in all these years."

The woman blinked. "Where abroad? How about... we go on a trip next month and go see him?"

Jia Quan frowned: "Do you know him?"

“I can meet a boss like your brother-in-law, do you still have a chance?”

Jia Quan smiled and said, "That's right, tonight we..."

The two of them went upstairs chatting and laughing, but the door on the first floor was suddenly pushed open a crack, and their backs were seen as they went up the stairs.

Fang Yonghui and Yang Bo immediately came out of the room and followed him upstairs quietly.

At the corner of the corridor, after seeing the two men enter the room, they returned to the room on the first floor.

Fang Yonghui took out his cell phone and called Luo Rui.

"Team leader, the target has returned home."

Five minutes later, Luo Rui and Chu Yang walked into the security room.

Chu Yang saw the instant noodles on the table, swallowed his saliva, and said, "I'm starving, do you have any more instant noodles?"

Su Mingyuan replied: "Yes, I'll make it for you right away."

Luo Rui sat down in front of the monitor and looked at the eight surveillance images.

Monitors No. 1 and No. 2 both face the windows on the second floor of the bungalow, a front balcony, and the bedroom balcony at the back.

A cat curled up on the balcony, motionless.

Tian Guanghan stood aside and asked, "Team leader, we didn't find any suspicious people tonight. Do you think Nie Lin will come?"

Luo Rui shook his head: "I don't know."

Tian Guanghan was speechless for a moment: "No, team leader, you don't know either?"

Luo Rui took the instant noodles brought by Su Mingyuan, put them on the table, and replied: "I'm not a god, how can I know Nie Lin's whereabouts."

"what?"

Tian Guanghan was a little slow to react. He complained in his heart, you are one of the best detectives in the whole Haidong Province, but you are so unreliable.

Seeing that the three people present were looking at him, Luo Rui had to speak: "I was thinking, if Nie Lin was really the illegal worker who was trafficked to the coal mine by Liu Jiafu, and Jia Quan beat his two companions to death at that time, he must have known about this.

But I am not sure whether he will come for revenge. He killed Liu Jiafu and Ding Li, and even spared gangsters like Liu Jinhan and Zhang Shirong. This proves that he is a man who will take revenge.

If he really wanted to kill Jia Quan, he should have started with Jia Quan, but why he would attack Liu Jiafu and Ding Li first? I don’t understand.

Now the Linjiang Municipal Public Security Bureau has dispatched thousands of police officers to patrol the streets in an attempt to find Nie Lin, but in the past few days, he has disappeared without a trace.

He must be hiding somewhere, planning his next opportunity for revenge.

We are betting that he will come to find Jia Quan!"

Hearing this, several people looked at each other. Luo Rui could see that their eyes were clear and stupid, and they obviously didn't understand what he said.

"But..." Tian Guanghan hesitated: "It's not a solution for us to just wait here."

Luo Rui was too lazy to pay attention to Lao Tian. He picked up the instant noodles on the table and started eating them in big mouthfuls.

Nothing happened until 11:30 p.m.

Luo Rui finished his noodles, lit a cigarette, and glanced at the monitor.

On monitor number one, a woman pushed open the glass door to the balcony.

She was wearing a white dress, had fair skin and her hair was loose.

She walked to the edge of the balcony and picked up the black cat lying on the balcony railing.

Her lips moved, but I couldn't tell what she was saying.

Then she carried the cat back into the room and closed the glass door.

Luo Rui narrowed his eyes slightly and turned to look at Chu Yang: "Have you checked the identity information of this woman?"

Chu Yang quickly opened his laptop and placed it on the table.

"When I checked Jia Quan's identity today, I also checked this woman's background in the police system. Her name seems to be..."

Chu Yang retrieved an identity document from the computer and moved the screen in front of Luo Rui.

"It says here that this woman's name is Wen Jie, she's 20 years old, dropped out of high school, and works in car sales..."

"Wen Jie?" Luo Rui kept repeating the name.

Suddenly, he stood up from his chair, startling Chu Yang and the others.

At this moment, Luo Rui's mind flashed back to the time when he questioned Liu Yong yesterday and he heard the other party scream like crazy:
[We...we shouldn't have let them go, we shouldn't have, ah...it hurts, Xiaojie, my body is on fire, my eyes are pierced! Ah, Xiaojie, run quickly, if we are caught by Liu Jiafu, we will all die! ]
