Detective: From the Police Academy

Chapter 306 Hunting the murderer
Eight o'clock in the morning, Shipan Village.

A two-story self-built house with white tiles on the front and cement on the sides was surrounded by police officers.

There is a pond in front of the house, and there are paddy fields on both sides and in front of the pond.

It was deep winter and the crops in the paddy fields had long been harvested. A group of ducks were walking in the paddy fields, looking for rice left behind in early autumn.

When Dong Jianmin and Lu Peng rushed there, the police had already surrounded the house. The front-line criminal police from the two counties were at the front, and several of them had raised their guns and pointed them at a middle-aged man in a green military uniform standing in front of the door.

The man was leaning against the door, holding a hatchet in his hand, the blade pointed at a middle-aged woman in a black down jacket.

"What's going on?" Dong Jianmin felt a headache because the previous news did not say that the criminals had taken hostages.

The person who answered him was Pang Zhong, a veteran criminal police officer from Pingyang County: "This man is called Niu Yu. When we checked his home, we found a motorcycle. His age also matches, and his height and weight are similar, especially..."

Pang Zhong pointed to a row of autumn corn hanging under the window on the left side of the door.

The orange autumn corn is very eye-catching.

When Ding Wei, who was standing nearby, saw this thing, he quickly instructed the publicity officer to take pictures of the entire scene.

Dong Jianmin was also an experienced criminal policeman. Out of caution, he asked, "What's his name? Did he admit that he was the serial killer? And where are his footprints?"

Pang Zhong shook his head: "What happened was that when we first saw his shoes, the woman came to borrow something. Who knew that he would hold the woman hostage with a knife? We didn't have time to ask."

Dong Jianmin glared at him, then he remembered that the other party was a criminal police officer from Pingyang County, and it was normal for him not to know the local situation.

He quickly found the village secretary and the police officers to assist in the investigation.

After some inquiries, he finally found out.

Niu Yu, a native of Shipan Village, Longshan Town, Fukang County, had lost his parents long ago. He was a only-son family member for three generations and had few relatives.

He is 37 years old and unmarried. If this person is really the murderer, then in 97, he would be 28 years old, which is quite consistent with the murderer's age. Besides, their height and weight are similar. A suspect of this level can completely match the characteristics of the murderer.

The hostage held by Niu Yu was his neighbor. She had come to borrow something in the morning, but when she was questioned by the police, she stayed a little longer out of curiosity. Who knew that she would be so unlucky and be held hostage by the person she dealt with all day.

After becoming familiar with the situation, Dong Jianmin did not dare to delay any further.

The subordinates brought stab-proof clothing and a police helmet.

The helmet is still very important, especially the hatchet in the suspect's hand. The blade is sharp and one chop can cut off half of the head.

The police officer in front automatically made way for him, and Dong Jianmin walked to the front, which was the courtyard.

He was only twenty meters away from Niu Yu and didn't dare to go any further.

Niu Yu strangled the woman's neck with his left arm and swung the hatchet in his right hand while shouting frantically: "If you come over here again, I'll kill her!"

Dong Jianmin first glanced at the propaganda officers on his left and right, who were carrying cameras and recording videos.

This made him a little nervous. He licked his lips and shouted to Niu Yu, "Don't get excited, don't get excited. Release the person first. If there is anything, let's sit down and talk, okay?"

Niu Yu's eyes turned red as he shouted, "What the hell are you talking about? You're here to arrest me!"

Hearing this, Dong Jianmin perked up and asked hurriedly, "Do you know why we arrested you?"

Niu Yu licked his dry lips and glanced casually to the left.

This direction is the location where the police searched for the bodies of three women late last night. It is three kilometers away from here.

Dong Jianmin's heart sank. Although he had not yet collected any traces of the other party, he became more and more certain that the other party was a suspect.

At this time, the woman held hostage by Niu Yu was so nervous that she couldn't speak and her whole body was shaking.

The blade was across her neck, and the skin on her neck was already bleeding.

Lu Peng quickly called over several criminal police officers who were good at shooting, and they spread out and looked for shooting positions. As long as the other party made a mistake, they would shoot directly, but they must not kill the person.

Dong Jianmin continued to ask: "Did you kill the three female corpses in the cave?"

Hearing this, Niu Yu smiled sideways and did not answer.

"You were probably responsible for the three cases in Pingyang County in 97, 98, and 99, right?"

The police officers at the scene held their breath, waiting for the other party to admit it, but Niu Yu licked his lips and replied, "It's not me."

Dong Jianmin frowned and asked, "It's not you? If it's not you, why are you holding someone hostage?"

"But I was the one who dumped the body there."

Hearing this, Dong Jianmin's eyes widened and his heart was in turmoil.

"You didn't kill the person, so what's the point of helping them dispose of the body? Who told you to do that?"

Niu Yu swallowed his saliva and said, "I promised them that I must keep it a secret."

Dong Jianmin was stunned for a moment and hadn't figured out the logic behind this.

Sudden……

"boom!"

"boom!"

Two consecutive gunshots rang in his ears. Dong Jianmin was a little dazed. He shrank his head and saw the police officers behind him rushing over.

Niu Yu, who was standing in front of the door, fell down all of a sudden, and the woman he was holding rolled and crawled out from his wrist, and was then grabbed by a policeman who ran forward and pulled her behind him.

Other policemen swarmed up and pinned Niu Yu down like a human pyramid.

"Damn it, be quiet!"

"You bastard, when I checked you, I saw something was wrong with you. You even dared to take hostages!"

……

Seeing that the person had been controlled, Ding Wei pulled the propaganda officer and walked straight forward, with the camera almost pointing at Niu Yu's face, and started recording wildly.

Dong Jianmin and Lu Peng also hurried forward, and after the police lifted Niu Yu up, they pressed him down on the bench in front of the door and asked him to sit down.

The veteran criminal policeman Pang Zhong squatted down immediately, lifted Niu Yu's legs, and then took away the Liberation shoes he was wearing.

A group of people quickly gathered around and looked at the size of the shoe soles.

Because the soles of his shoes were covered in mud and cow dung, Pang Zhong didn't mind. He used his fingers to feel around and then the size of the shoes came out.

Lu Peng said: "40 yards, it's not him!"

Tang Kai, who shot the gangster earlier, put away his gun and said confidently: "It's hard to say. Footprints can be very different. I think it might be him."

"Tell me, who told you to throw the body into the cave?" Dong Jianmin asked directly. The man was shot in the shoulder and waist, but the bullet was not powerful enough to kill him immediately.

In any case, there is obviously no problem with the police's judgment. Even if Niu Yu is not the murderer, he is an insider.

Now, the entire town of Longshan is searching for the suspect, and it has caused quite a stir. If we don't find out the murderer's whereabouts in time and let him get away, it will be disastrous.

Although Niu Yu was handcuffed, his shoulders were still held down tightly by several criminal police officers, preventing him from moving.

"Give me a cigarette and I'll tell you!"

Dong Jianmin nodded slightly. A policeman took out his cigarette, lit it with a lighter, took a puff, and put it to Niu Yu's mouth.

He held the cigarette in his mouth and took several deep puffs until half of the ash fell into his crotch. Only then did the police take the cigarette butt away.

Dong Jianming said: "You can tell me now."

Niu Yu did not answer directly, but asked first: "I want to ask, how will I judge?"

"Now you care about this!" Tang Kai teased and wanted to grab his head, but was blocked by Lu Peng.

Dong Jianming was a little impatient: "Tell me what you did first."

"Okay!" Niu Yu sniffed, no longer intending to keep it secret, and began to confess: "The murderer is called Niu Qiang, from the same village as us. He killed the three women in the cave. He gave me money, 300 yuan per woman, and asked me to help him throw them into the cave."

"Niu Qiang?" Dong Jianmin quickly looked at the police officer beside him.

At this time, a man stood up and answered: "We haven't found this person yet..."

Niu Yu smiled and pointed forward.

The row of police officers standing in front of him quickly made way.

Niu Yu raised his chin and said, "It's across the street, in the three-story building. Niu Qiang doesn't live in the village, but his parents are at home."

The police looked forward and saw a yellow dog barking loudly in front of the house 300 meters away. An old man and an old woman were standing at the edge of the yard with their bowls in hand, staring at them curiously...

……

……

Shahe County, County People’s Hospital.

Three police cars were parked at the hospital gate.

After Luo Rui got out of the car, he walked straight towards the hospital building without even closing the door.

Lin Chen, Fang Yonghui and others gathered behind him, all of them were tall and strong.

Anyone who sees such a group of arrogant people surrounding them would quickly avoid them.

The patients in the hospital were no exception and all avoided the area, thinking that the person was a family member who was causing trouble in the hospital.

However, a woman in a white coat and glasses in the hospital lobby quickly came forward.

"you are……"

"Half an hour ago, we talked on the phone..."

"Captain Luo, right?" The woman smiled and said, "I'm sorry, you're too young. I can't confirm it."

"Are you Dean Zhang?" Luo Rui asked.

"It's me." Director Zhang made a gesture to invite him in, and as he went upstairs, he said, "You called us to ask us to help find male patients who have been admitted to the hospital for three years and are between the ages of 18 and 35. We have indeed screened several patients with sexual dysfunction."

"Is there a list?"

"Yes, yes, it's in my office, just follow me."

Soon, the group went to the office on the third floor.

Dean Zhang took out a list and handed it to Luo Rui: "These five people are of the right age, but they are not hospitalized for a long time. You know, if they stay in the hospital for three years, no one can afford the medical expenses.

The people on this list have to be hospitalized once a year, but the stay is not long, and they will be discharged once their condition stabilizes.

Most of them suffer from diseases that require long-term treatment, such as cancer, etc...."

Luo Rui listened to her while looking at the list.

The list is very detailed, including the patient's name, age at admission, and symptoms, but there is no specific place of origin or address.

Lin Chen also stood on tiptoe to watch, then she stretched out her hand and pointed at one of the names.

This man's name is Qian Hao. He was admitted to the hospital on November 96, 11 at the age of 18. His medical record stated in detail that he suffered from systemic lupus erythematosus.

"Lupus?" Fang Yonghui blinked. He didn't know there was such a disease.

Dean Zhang stopped talking and gave him a scientific explanation: "This disease is more common in women, with a male-to-female ratio of 10:1. Qian Hao is the first male patient we have received since the establishment of our hospital. Of course, my specialty is not this, but our county hospital has no way to treat this disease. I remember that the attending physician at the time suggested that he go to a provincial tertiary hospital, but he didn't have that much money.

This disease is also an autoimmune disease that affects multiple systems and organs and has multiple autoantibodies. Its main manifestations are fever and joint and muscle symptoms. Severe cases can also harm various organs in the body.

Qian Hao's symptoms were relatively good at the time, but he would come to the hospital for hospitalization every year..."

Luo Rui looked at the medical records and said, "After 2000, there is no record of his hospitalization."

Dean Zhang agreed, "That's right. I don't know how he is now."

Luo Rui read the medical records but didn't understand anything.

He asked, "Who was the doctor who treated him at the time? Can you call him over?"

"Okay, this is Director Xiao from the Rheumatology Department. Please wait a moment." After saying that, Dean Zhang picked up the phone on the table and dialed the number.

During this time, Tian Guanghan and others stood in the corridor, looking at the facilities in the hospital.

Su Mingyuan whispered to Yang Bo: "Do you know what's going on in Fukang County and Pingyang County?"

Yang Bo was stunned for a moment and rolled his eyes at him: "You ask me, who should I ask?"

"Actually, think about it, these two counties are really unkind. They were about to find the murderer, but they threw us off. Didn't you see the look on Director Lu's face? He was almost mad with rage."

Tian Guanghan interrupted and said, "It's normal. My old boss Yang Qian in the Haijiang Branch also used to do this. This kind of play is very disgusting and it's unpopular."

Fang Yonghui curled his lips: "I heard that the people from the provincial departments and ministries are on their side?"

At this time, Lin Zeng came out of the office and heard this. He said, "That's where the smell of blood is. That's how propaganda is done."

Tian Guanghan wanted to make a few sarcastic remarks, but a doctor in a white coat passed by him.

The man was wearing a mask. He looked at Tian Guanghan and the others suspiciously, then went straight into the office.

He knocked on the open office door.

"Vice President, I need your signature for this."

Dean Zhang nodded, took the document, picked up the pen, signed his name, and handed it back to him. "Thank you for your hard work."

"Thank you, Vice President. You go ahead and do your work first." After saying that, the doctor walked out of the office. Before leaving, he looked at Tian Guanghan and the others.

After this man left, a Mediterranean doctor came.

As soon as he entered the room, Dean Zhang immediately introduced him: "Director Xiao, this is our Shahe County Criminal Police Captain, Captain Luo."

Luo Rui greeted him and then asked him to explain Qian Hao's situation.

Although more than ten years have passed, the other party's memories are still very clear.

After all, lupus erythematosus in rheumatology is also a relatively rare disease.

After listening, Luo Rui asked: "How did Qian Hao perform during his hospitalization?"

Director Xiao frowned and recalled, "He was a very clean person, a bit of a germaphobe. Every time I went to check on him, his bed was the cleanest and neatly folded. I saw him eat an orange, and he had to peel off all the fibers before putting it in his mouth, so I had a deep impression of him."

Hearing this, Qian Hao's suspicion grew stronger and stronger, and Fang Yonghui and others who were surrounding the door all squeezed in at once.

Lin Chen also opened his eyes wide and asked hurriedly: "Does he suffer from any sexual dysfunction?"

Director Xiao blinked and nodded: "Yes, when he was admitted to the hospital in 96, he went to the men's department for consultation..."

At this point, he suddenly raised his head and said, "Just now, that Doctor Niu is a male doctor. I recommended him to Qian Hao before. If you have any questions, you can ask him. He should know better than me."

Luo Rui nodded: "Lin Chen and Fang Yonghui. The two of you go find that doctor Niu and ask about Qian Hao's condition."

"Okay." Lin Chen agreed.

The two men then left the office.

Director Xiao was curious for a moment and asked, "Captain Luo, may I ask, what did Qian Hao do?"

"It's not convenient to talk about this." Luo Rui put away the list and looked at Dean Zhang: "Do you know the home address of this Qian Hao?"

Dean Zhang nodded: "Yes, the hospital has a copy of his ID card. Please wait, I will find it for you."

Soon, a piece of A4 paper came out of the copier.

Luo Rui took it out of the machine and held it in front of him.

Name: Qian Hao.

Date of birth: April 1970, 3

Birthplace: Changqiao Township, Pingyang County...

The photo on the ID card is blurry, but you can tell that this is a very handsome person with no obvious facial features.

He was admitted to the hospital in 96. Huang Yan was killed on January 95, 1. If he did it, he was only 22 years old at the time.

At this time, Chu Yang asked from the side: "Team Leader, is this the person?"

The reason he asked this was because this did not completely match Lin Chen's criminal profile from a few days ago.

Lin Chen's other profile of the murderer was correct, except that the murderer's birthday was not January 1nd.

"It's very likely!" Luo Rui replied, "At least the criminal profile Lin Chen made is more consistent with this person."

Then, Luo Rui immediately took a photo with his mobile phone and sent it to Li Nong, who was still investigating at the textile factory, asking him to find out the relationship between Qian Hao and Huang Yan.

After receiving the photos, Li Nong called immediately.

After discussing it, the two decided that the most important thing was to find out the whereabouts of Qian Hao first.

So, under Luo Rui's instructions, Yang Bo and Tian Guanghan immediately took people to Qian Hao's hometown. Because his address was in Pingyang County, they had to notify the local bosses.

Tian Guanghan and Yang Bo didn't dare to stay long and left immediately, contacting Luo Rui later.

At this time, Luo Rui thanked Dean Zhang and walked to the hospital corridor with Chu Yang and Su Mingyuan.

Luo Rui went downstairs while calling Lu Peng.

Chu Yang followed behind him and asked in a low voice: "Team Leader, why don't we go catch people together?"

While waiting for the call, Luo Rui replied, "We made such a big noise, maybe Qian Hao has already escaped. We will rush over after Lao Tian and the others have confirmed that he is the person."

"Okay!" Chu Yang responded.

At this time, Su Mingyuan asked a female nurse passing by: "Hello, which floor is the men's department on?"

The nurse pointed downstairs: "The corner of the second floor."

"Okay, thank you."

The three of them went downstairs. As soon as they reached the second floor, Su Mingyuan glanced downstairs and frowned.

"Hey, isn't that the doctor from before?"

At this moment, the phone next to Luo Rui's ear was connected, and Lu Peng said unhappily on the phone: "If you have something to say, just say it!"

Luo Rui rolled his eyes and explained the situation in detail while listening to the noise on the phone. The other party seemed to be interrogating someone and he could vaguely hear the conversation.

As he spoke, he looked at Lin Chen and Fang Yonghui walking towards him.

Lin Chen said, "Team Leader, Doctor Niu is not here. The nurse said she had something to do and went out."

Su Mingyuan blinked and pointed downstairs: "Isn't that him?"

Chu Yang also took a look: "Why is he running?"

Lin Chen looked down and saw the doctor taking off his white coat and walking out of the hospital gate.

At this time, Luo Rui frowned, listening to the noise on the phone, and Lu Peng hung up the phone.

Luo Rui looked at Lin Chen who was coming down the stairs in a daze: "Do you know the name of this Doctor Niu?"

Lin Chen turned around and said, "It's written on the door of his office, his name is Niu Qiang, team leader, wait, I'll call him back."

Luo Rui swallowed his saliva and sneered.

Chu Yang was unsure of his laughter: "Team Leader, what are you doing?"

Luo Rui immediately ran down: "This Niu Qiang is the murderer B, arrest him, arrest him!"

"Oh my god!" Chu Yang was stunned for two seconds, and so were the others.

Then, everyone reacted at once.

Especially Su Mingyuan, he ran down the stairs in three or two steps.

He followed closely behind Luo Rui. The two of them ran so fast that when they ran out of the door, Niu Qiang was standing on the side of the street, as if he was ready to hail a taxi.

Su Mingyuan didn't dare to say a word. He was about to catch up, but Niu Qiang looked back and saw two people chasing him desperately. Niu Qiang's face froze and he ran away.

"Damn it, stop! Damn it." Su Mingyuan wanted to rush over, but a car drove over and blocked his way.

At this time, Luo Rui jumped up, stepped onto the hood of the car, and jumped directly over.

Su Mingyuan supported the front of the car with his hands and went around.

Niu Qiang had already run into the alley opposite, and Luo Rui followed closely.

The two men were getting closer and closer, until they were only 20 or 30 meters apart. Luo Rui lifted the hem of his clothes, took out his gun, opened the safety, and fired a shot directly into the air.

"boom!"

"Stop, don't be afraid. If you run again, I'll shoot!"

Niu Qiang was startled and just glanced back before continuing to run forward.

If you stop at this time, you will die, but if you escape, you will have a chance of survival.

Luo Rui followed closely, but he was in better physical condition, and he shouted as he ran, "I'll count to three!"

"First warning!"

"Third warning!"

Luo Rui just squatted on the ground, raised his gun, and pulled the trigger without even aiming.

"boom!"

The bullet spun and hit Niu Qiang's left thigh directly.

The power of police bullets is small. After being shot, Niu Qiang only hesitated for a moment but did not stop.

At this time, Su Mingyuan and Fang Yonghui chased after him, and the two of them pounced on him like vicious dogs pouncing on their prey.

Seeing Niu Qiang being pinned to the ground, Luo Rui stood up, put away his gun and walked forward. He heard the grunts and laughter of Fang Yonghui and Su Mingyuan, as well as the panting of Lin Chen coming from behind.

It seemed like the three of them had worked together to catch a big fish, and they wanted everyone to come and see it. However, there were no police officers in charge of publicity to film and take pictures, which everyone felt was quite regrettable.
