Detective: From the Police Academy

Chapter 329 Special Case
March 22nd, 8 a.m.

Linjiang City, cross-river bridge.

The bridge is 1023 meters long, spanning Linjiang City and Huining City, with four lanes and guardrails in the middle.

At this time, two police cars merged into the emergency lane one after another.

There was a row of police cars with flashing red and blue lights parked in front, and a cordon had been set up to prevent outsiders from entering.

After Luo Rui got off the car, Han Dong immediately came forward and said, "Deputy Captain Luo."

"Hello, Captain Han." After saying hello, Luo Rui didn't waste any time and immediately asked, "Did the victim fall into the water from here?"

As he spoke, he moved closer to the bridge railing and looked down.

The river is wide and the water is turbid.

"Yes." Han Dong replied: "I have just measured it. The height of the bridge from the river surface is 23 meters."

Luo Rui put his hands in his pockets. This location was only five kilometers away from where they camped yesterday.

At this time, the river was shrouded in fog and there were ships passing behind the bridge.

Zhang Jichun was lucky. If his body had hit the oars and been torn into pieces, he would have been unlucky.

"Tell me about the situation?"

Han Dong responded, called Fang Cong, and took the investigation records from him.

Cai Xiaojing and her group immediately gathered around, ready to listen to the investigation results.

Since the branch has asked the municipal bureau for assistance, it is natural that they must grasp the clues obtained after the preliminary investigation.

This morning, Luo Rui originally planned to go directly to Gaoping Branch, but Han Dong called and said that he had found the place where the victim fell into the water.

Han Dong coughed and said, "Let me first talk about the victim. Zhang Jichun is a professor at Linjiang City College of Arts, now 56 years old. His wife is Huang Li, the director of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Anzhen Hospital. In addition, the two have a daughter who is already an adult and teaches at Linjiang City Yuying Primary School."

"The autopsy report is out. The victim Zhang Jichun had bruises and contusions on his body. Our forensic examination showed that both injuries were consistent with drowning. For example, bruises were caused by the body touching the river surface, and contusions were probably caused by the body encountering obstacles while in the river..."

At this point, Tian Guanghan quickly asked, "Um...Captain Han, I have a question for you."

Han Dong had no objection, as the other party was a member of Luo Rui's criminal team. He had helped them solve many major cases in the past two years and naturally had a keener sense of smell than the criminal police in his own team.

When it comes to an investigative situation, everyone in the criminal police team, regardless of their position, speaks freely, and what they hate most is analyzing the case seriously in a meeting room.

As long as leaders are involved, it is completely impossible to have a brainstorming session.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Tian Guanghan licked his lips embarrassedly and lowered his voice several degrees: "I just want to ask, has the victim's body been eaten by fish?"

"Ah?" Han Dong was stunned for two seconds, then suddenly realized: "You ask this..."

Fang Cong smiled and lowered his head behind him. Seeing Luo Rui's glare, he quickly covered his mouth and forced himself to cough twice.

"That's true." Han Dong showed the autopsy report seriously, turned a page, and pointed to a few photos attached to the paper: "Here, after the victim fell into the water, his shoes and socks were washed away by the river water. His toes and fingers are like this... Look, our forensic doctor judged that these tiny bite marks should have been gnawed by fish and shrimp..."

"Okay, I understand." Tian Guanghan replied, his face turned pale, and then he closed his mouth tightly.

Before he could react, a "vomit" sound was heard, and Su Mingyuan was already facing the river, vomiting loudly.

Tian Guanghan couldn't bear it any longer, so he quickly held onto the railing and vomited out all the breakfast he had eaten that day.

The situation suddenly became tense, and Lin Chen vomited, then pressed his chest tightly to prevent himself from vomiting.

Luo Rui frowned, took the autopsy report from Han Dong, took a look at it, and saw that the scars on the toes of the corpse were not caused by fish bites. The forensic doctor wrote very clearly that these were clearly scratches.

Han Dong saw Luo Rui's unhappy expression and quickly said with a smile: "Deputy Captain Luo, don't mind, I was just joking."

Fang Cong behind him tried hard not to laugh.

Hearing Han Dong say this, Tian Guanghan turned around and was about to start cursing.

Luo Rui pointed at a private vehicle on the emergency lane and quickly asked, "Is that the vehicle driven by the victim?"

Han Dong knew that Luo Rui was trying to help him out, so he immediately returned to his work: "Yes, it was a black Honda."

At this time, the technical investigation police had already opened the car door, and two investigators wearing gloves and hoods were getting into the car to check.

Luo Rui put his hands in his pockets and walked over there, while Han Dong followed and explained: "We confirmed the identity of the victim yesterday morning, and then found this place based on the location of the mobile phone and the trajectory of the vehicle.

When we arrived, the traffic police almost towed the car away."

Luo Rui stopped and looked at both ends of the bridge. The nearest road surveillance was on the crossbeam of the bridge a hundred meters away.

Han Dong said: "We have already sent someone to check the surveillance footage, and we will have news soon."

Luo Rui nodded: "Well, the identity of the victim is clear, and there is surveillance, which must have captured the victim falling into the water. This case is not difficult. You Gaoping Branch can investigate it yourself. We will not get involved."

His voice was so loud that everyone around him could hear it.

Han Dong's face tightened, and he immediately said, "No, Deputy Captain Luo."

Luo Rui squinted at him and said, "This case isn't that difficult, is it?"

Han Dong now understood that he had just made a joke and offended the other party.

"Hey..." He sighed: "Deputy Captain Luo, come with me."

Han Dong walked to the side and saw Luo Rui following him, then whispered: "This case is a bit special. Only you can investigate it, otherwise we can only hand the case over to other departments."

Luo Rui frowned. He did not go to the Municipal Bureau this morning, and Lu Kangming and Kang Bolin did not mention anything special about this case. Could there be some hidden story?
"Is there something wrong with Zhang Jichun?"

Han Dong nodded, then shook his head: "It's not certain yet, but his old classmate Qiu Mingjie is an old professor in our institute. He was killed at home in the early morning of the 19th..."

"so what?"

Han Dong looked around and saw that no one was eavesdropping. He whispered, "A lot of US dollars and Hong Kong dollars were found in Qiu Mingjie's home."

"Is he Room D?"

"Then I don't know." Han Dong frowned and said, "On the morning of the 19th, we were the ones who called the police. We also found the US dollars and Hong Kong dollars. Then someone came to take over immediately. Then the next day, that is, on the evening of the 20th, you happened to find Zhang Jichun's body.

These two people are old classmates and have a close relationship, so our branch leaders know that this case is difficult, so they ask you to assist in the investigation."

Luo Rui blinked and said thoughtfully: "In this case, why not just hand it over to the special department for processing?"

Han Dong said in embarrassment: "We did want to, but they didn't say anything. You said there was a murder, so we can't investigate it. We can't not investigate it. If we find a key clue and someone else takes it away, it will be in vain."

"So... you just want me to take the blame?"

Han Dong quickly shook his head: "How can that be possible! Deputy Captain Luo, your criminal team is full of elites, and your awareness is relatively high, better than us. Of course, our branch office hopes that you will come to investigate."

"Don't... Han Dong, don't flatter me. I know the rules very well. If I'm not careful, I'll be in trouble."

"Deputy Captain Luo..." Han Dong was about to make an excuse, but Fang Cong came running over: "Captain Han, the surveillance video of the bridge has been sent."

"Okay, let's go and take a look." Han Dong responded and took two steps forward, but Luo Rui still stood there and took out his mobile phone from his pocket.

Cai Xiaojing was standing by the bridge, and was about to lead people through the cordon. When Luo Rui saw her, he immediately reached out to stop her: "Don't go in, everyone turn around."

Cai Xiaojing quickly stopped and looked at him in confusion.

"Listen to me, don't go to the scene, don't watch the video, wait until I finish the call."

Cai Xiaojing nodded, then called on others to leave the cordon.

Han Dong heard Luo Rui's voice and shook his head helplessly.

After the call was connected, Zhu Yong's voice came into Luo Rui's ears.

"Good boy, there is no need to come to the temple, tell me, what's the matter?"

Luo Rui walked aside and explained the matter in detail in a low voice.

"I understand. Wait for my call!"

After Luo Rui hung up the phone, Cai Xiaojing and others hurried to his side: "What's wrong?"

Luo Rui shook his head and said nothing. He just watched from a distance as Han Dong and a few others gathered in front of the hood of the car, watching the surveillance video.

About half an hour later, Luo Rui's cell phone rang.

After answering the call, he found that it was not Zhu Yong who called, but Wu Chaoxiong.

Luo Rui looked at Lin Chen and avoided the crowd.

"Luo Rui, I already know the situation, but the nature of the case is not as serious as you think. Just investigate normally."

"Director Wu, are you sure everything is alright?"

Luo Rui was very panicked. If Qiu Mingjie was really a spy, he couldn't be alone. If he pulled out some infamous people, things would become difficult.

"If I say it's okay, then it's okay, but this case is somewhat dangerous, and when you investigate, you must first ensure your own safety.

In addition, the person investigating Qiu Mingjie's case is named Li Peiwen, and she is from Guoan. If the other party needs your cooperation, don't refuse. "

Luo Rui raised his eyebrows, pondered for a moment, and asked: "Does Lin Chen want to..."

"She is your subordinate, you decide for yourself."

"Okay, I understand."

After hanging up the phone, Luo Rui nodded to Cai Xiaojing, then pulled up the cordon and led the way inside.

Seeing this, Han Dong smiled.

Luo Rui looked at him coldly, showing little enthusiasm: "Captain Han, have you found any clues?"

"Here... look..." Han Dong turned the laptop on the hood of the car and faced the screen towards Luo Rui.

He was about to speak, but Luo Rui reached out and closed the notebook.

After getting it, he handed it to Chu Yang.

Han Dong's face choked for a moment, and he was immediately dumbfounded: "This..."

"We will take full control of the case. Captain Han, you can leave now."

"No..." Han Dong opened his eyes wide, but couldn't say anything.

Previously, the other party did not want to be involved in this case at all costs, but now he showed two faces and even took away all his investigative rights. Han Dong complained in his heart that this was obviously a joke on him... Is it really that serious?

Not to mention Han Dong, several of his subordinates also had grim faces.

"Captain Han, this is for your own good. Since you said that this case is very special and you want us to investigate it, then your team had better not touch it." After that, Luo Rui raised his voice and shouted to the surrounding police officers: "All front-line detectives should withdraw, and the on-site investigation and technical investigation should stay and continue their work.

After you go back, you will be given a confidentiality agreement. All information about this case must not be leaked. If you violate the agreement, you will understand the consequences. "

Hearing this, the expressions on both sides were different.

Tian Guanghan chuckled and walked up to Fang Cong: "Boy, you were the one who laughed at me just now, do you still find it funny now?"

"Uh……"

Fang Cong opened his mouth and glanced at his captain.

The front-line police officers from the Gaoping Branch all gathered together, craning their necks, with grim expressions and looks as if they were ready to have a fight.

Han Dong sighed slightly: "Everyone has heard clearly what Deputy Captain Luo said just now. Now everyone should leave and hand the case over to the Municipal Bureau for handling."

After hearing what he said, Luo Rui thanked him.

Han Dong's expression was uglier than crying. It was the first time he had in-depth contact with Luo Rui. Just the night before, the two of them were sitting in the camp eating, talking and laughing. He didn't expect that after only one day, the other party would be so tough?

"Deputy Captain Luo, I'll leave it to you then." Han Dong said and left without looking back.

"Wait." Tian Guanghan shouted.

Han Dong turned around and looked at him coldly.

Tian Guanghan glanced at the other person's hand and said, "Captain Han, have you forgotten something?"

Han Dong snorted and threw the autopsy report in his hand into his arms.

Seeing these people driving away, Tian Guanghan felt much relieved.

Luo Rui showed no expression, he clapped his hands and said: "We are now officially taking over this case, everyone cheer up.

Chu Yang, turn on the computer, let's check the surveillance video on the bridge first."

"Yes." Chu Yang placed his notebook on the hood of the car and brought up the screen.

There are a total of 20 surveillance cameras on the bridge, 10 of which are on the left side of the bridge, that is, the surveillance cameras on the bridge deck from Huining City to Linjiang City.

Chu Yang called up the surveillance video, and everyone gathered around to check it one by one.

The time was March 19th, at 11:10 p.m.

There were not many vehicles on the bridge. A white Audi came from Huining City.

This car is now parked in the emergency lane and belongs to the victim Zhang Jichun.

The two surveillance cameras when coming from the bridge head showed nothing unusual.

Zhang Jichun was sitting alone in the driver's seat, with no one else in the car.

Until the third surveillance camera, you can see a black Mitsubishi SUV following the white Audi car, driving at a very fast speed.

In the fifth monitoring, the Mitsubishi car was about to touch the Audi car.

From the surveillance footage, we can see two men sitting in the Mitsubishi SUV, both wearing masks and caps. Not only that, the driver was also wearing white gloves.

Their faces were completely invisible, but both of them were wearing blue work uniforms.

At this time, Zhang Jichun in the Audi car glanced at the steering mirror and realized that he was being followed. He looked panicked, drove with one hand and took out his mobile phone with the other hand.

But then, the Mitsubishi car hit from behind...

The two cars drove out of the surveillance blind spot at the critical moment.

Chu Yang quickly opened the sixth surveillance video.

The video has been playing for several minutes. This should be the video that Han Dong wanted Luo Rui to watch earlier.

Chu Yang pulled the progress bar back and saw that the Mitsubishi car had surpassed the Audi car and its body was lying across the front of the Audi car.

Zhang Jichun quickly got out of the car and ran to the guardrail of the bridge.

The surveillance camera was located on the crossbeam of the bridge, at a very high height, and because the street lights on the bridge were dim, Zhang Jichun's face could not be seen clearly.

But judging from his actions, he was obviously panicked.

The two men in the Mitsubishi car got out quickly, and the man wearing white gloves pulled out a pistol from his waist.

Seeing people taking out weapons, Zhang Jichun supported himself on the railing with both hands, jumped up and straddled the railing, but he did not jump down immediately and seemed to be saying something.

The two men also put away their pistols, and they were only five meters away from Zhang Jichun.

From the picture, the two parties seemed to be talking, and the two men were trying to get close to Zhang Jichun.

However, two minutes after the video started playing, Zhang Jichun dived headfirst and jumped into the Linjiang River with resolute determination.

The two men hurried forward and looked down.

Seeing that the person was gone, the two men looked at each other and muttered a few words. One of them drove the Mitsubishi car to the side, got out, and then he and his companion pushed the Audi car to the emergency lane next to it, and then drove away quickly.

After watching the video, Luo Rui said to everyone: "Let me tell you one thing first. I'm sure you all understand that this case is not an ordinary criminal case. It involves a spy organization. This is different from the cases we have solved in the past and is somewhat dangerous.

Let me make a few points first. First: After we had a clear understanding of the situation at the scene and everyone returned to the Municipal Bureau, everyone went to the equipment department to collect guns and countless bullets.

Second, the SWAT team will assist us. In any dangerous situation, do not rush to the front and make sure you have your own safety. For example, if you find a suspect, you must stay calm and do not act on your own, even if the suspect has the potential to escape! Do you understand?"

"Yes!" everyone replied in unison.

"Okay, now that we've watched the surveillance video, let's talk about what we think."

Cai Xiaojing spoke first: "From the way they hold their guns, these two criminals look like professional killers."

Lin Chen also said: "I agree with Captain Cai's speculation. The guns used by the two criminals are Walther P99, semi-automatic pistols. Such standard pistols are generally not available to domestic criminals."

There is no need to explain these two points, everyone is very clear about them, otherwise Luo Rui would not appear so nervous.

Tian Guanghan said: "Let me ask a few questions..."

He pointed to the Audi parked in the emergency lane and said, "First, why didn't the criminals drive away the victim's car?"

Fang Yonghui said: "Old Tian, ​​you didn't watch the video carefully. After the victim got out of the car, he pulled out the car key. Otherwise, how could these two guys push the car?"

"Then why was the car parked in the emergency lane for two days? Didn't the traffic police do anything about it?"

Yang Bo coughed and replied, "I ignored it on purpose."

"How to say?"

"How much does it cost to park for a day? Do you understand?"

"Damn it!" Tian Guanghan cursed.

At this time, Chu Yang said: "When the victim fell into the water, he was holding the car keys and mobile phone in his hands, and the victim wanted to call someone, but the phone fell into the river with him. It is difficult to salvage the phone. We can only go to the telecommunications company to check the call records."

Cai Xiaojing glanced at the surveillance video: "Also, late at night on the 19th, two gangsters followed the victim and stopped him on the bridge. From the conversation between the two parties, it seems that the gangsters did not want to kill him..."

Lin Chen nodded: "Looking at the situation at the scene, either the criminals want to ask something from Zhang Jichun, or they want to take something from him."

Luo Rui thought about it and began to assign tasks: "Chu Yang and Su Mingyuan, you two go to the telecommunications company and check Zhang Jichun's call records to see who he called last.

Lao Tian and Yang Bo, you two go to the traffic police station and trace the movement of the Mitsubishi car and find it for me.

Fang Yonghui and Lin Chen, go to the victim Zhang Jichun's workplace and home and talk to his colleagues and family first.

Zhang Jichun's Audi was driven from Huining City. He was drunk and driving under the influence before his death. Can you find out who Zhang Jichun had contact with last? "

"Yes!" everyone answered and took action.

Luo Rui and Cai Xiaojing walked to the side of the Audi.

The three technical investigation police officers at the scene were already waiting.

Luo Rui asked: "Did you find anything?"

The leading police officer replied: "We extracted a lot of hair and fingerprints from the car."

"anything else?"

"Nothing."

"Zhang Jichun is a professor at the Normal College. Could it be that he didn't have a briefcase with him?"

"Indeed not. The car is very clean."

“Is there a dashcam?”

"No."

Luo Rui sneered: "From today on, the three of you will cooperate with us in investigating this case. Take the collected evidence to the Municipal Bureau laboratory to screen the fingerprints and hair in the car. In addition, drive the Audi to the Municipal Bureau Traffic Team and have them dismantle the car."

"Ah?" The three people looked at each other.

"What? I'll call your branch leader. As long as the case is not solved, you will stay in the city bureau."

The three people were dejected and had to agree.

After the scene was completely cleared, Luo Rui and Cai Xiaojing were just about to get in the car when they heard a sharp horn.

Luo Rui looked at the road and saw a domestic off-road vehicle parked on the opposite side.

The car window was rolled down, and a man in a black suit was staring at him in the driver's seat, and there was a woman sitting in the passenger seat.

Before Luo Rui could see her face clearly, the woman had already opened the car door and walked to the guardrail with the man in the driver's seat. The two of them climbed over the guardrail one after another and walked towards Luo Rui.

If they drove directly here, they would need to turn around under the bridge, but these two people obviously did not intend to do that.

The woman was also wearing sunglasses, a grey jacket and had short hair.

She looked very capable, with a hint of heroism between her brows.

"Linjiang City's deputy detachment commander Luo Rui, right?"

"you are?"

"Guoan, Li Peiwen."
