Chapter 346 Case closed
seven in the morning.

At Linjiang City Police Station, Tang Zhiguo had just arrived at the office when Lu Kangming followed him in.

Tang Zhiguo did not get a good rest the whole night, as he had been waiting for news about the [407 Major Murder Case]. His superiors demanded that the case be solved within three days, and this was already the third day.

He didn't receive any news last night and originally wanted to call Kang Bolin and Luo Rui to ask about the investigation, but he finally held back, mainly because he was afraid of interfering with the investigative direction of the front-line police officers handling the case.

Seeing his red eyes, Lu Kangming blinked hard and wanted to show a sad face, but he slept too well and didn't worry about Luo Rui's failure to solve the case.

"Director Tang, you were in a meeting in the city yesterday afternoon, and I didn't dare to inform you that Deputy Commander Luo raided an underground casino in our city and arrested the female criminal named 'Dong Meng' and her accomplices."

Tang Zhiguo frowned: "Dong Meng? I seem to have heard this name somewhere."

Lu Kangming nodded: "This woman is suspected of multiple violent crimes, but we have no evidence to arrest her, and she is also called the underground queen of Linjiang City by those people in society."

Hearing the sound of the excavator next to the building, Tang Zhiguo quickly closed the window and muttered, "Construction started so early in the morning. It's been so noisy all day that I can't have a moment of peace and quiet!"

He pointed to the sofa next to him, and two people sat down. He nodded: "I have some impression. Is this woman a famous gangster leader?!"

Lu Kangming glanced out the window. He knew very well that the two buildings next to him had to be built magnificently and grandly in accordance with Tang Zhiguo's requirements. After all, this was a symbol of political achievement.

In this way, the budget has been exceeded, and not just by a little bit. The Guoan Department does not provide unlimited aid, and the funds are limited. The Municipal Bureau has also contributed funds, but there is still a big gap.

Tang Zhiguo went to the city for a meeting yesterday, just for this matter. Seeing his gloomy face, Lu Kangming understood and stopped keeping him in suspense. He said, "Director Tang, this is not the key point. The key point is that Deputy Branch Luo and his men destroyed this underground casino. In addition to bringing back the people, they also confiscated a lot of gambling money!"

Upon hearing this, Tang Zhiguo perked up, his eyes sparkling: "How many are there?"

Lu Kangming extended a slap.

Tang Zhiguo swallowed his saliva and said, "Five hundred?"

"Ten thousand!"

Lu Kangming completed the last word and continued, "In addition, Dong Meng and his core members were brought back to the Municipal Bureau as soon as possible. Deputy Branch Officer Luo asked me to call someone to interrogate them first. I called the Economic Investigation Detachment over and found out that Dong Meng not only had a slush fund, but also bank accounts and many stocks. Add them together, and it's about this number!"

As he spoke, Lu Kangming stretched out his hands and raised ten fingers.

Tang Zhiguo was stunned for a moment, uttered "Ha", and then slapped his thigh.

At this moment, the sound of the excavator next to my ears seems so wonderful and not noisy at all.

"This Luo Rui is such a lucky guy!"

Lu Kangming quickly took credit: "Who said it wasn't true? Luo Rui didn't hand the man over to the public security detachment, but brought him directly back to the Municipal Bureau and handed him over to us. This guy is really cunning..."

"No!" Tang Zhiguo had already stood up, he shook his head and said: "He is not cunning at all, he is just helping me out of my urgent need. No matter what, these gambling funds must be reported to the two courts. Even so, our two buildings can get another sum of money through the city.

Good! Good! Luo Rui is good! No wonder Director Wei said he is smart and clever! "

Lu Kangming chuckled and said, "Who said it wasn't true? A few years ago in Shahe County, Luo Rui helped me a lot. If it weren't for him, I would have retired long ago."

Tang Zhiguo breathed a sigh of relief, but the burden of the [407 Major Murder Case] ​​weighed on his mind again.

Seeing that his frown had not yet relaxed, Lu Kangming wanted to say a few words of comfort, but at this moment, there was a knock on the office door.

"Come in."

The door was gently pushed open, and Tang Zhiguo's secretary poked his head out: "Director Tang, Team Kang and Deputy Team Luo are back, and the suspect in the [407 Major Murder Case] ​​has been arrested."

"What?!" Tang Zhiguo was shocked: "Is the news true?"

The secretary nodded: "It's true. The suspects have been taken to the interrogation room."

Hearing this, Tang Zhiguo and Lu Kangming looked at each other, and the former laughed out loud: "This Luo Rui is incredible!"

Lu Kangming also smiled and said, "Director Tang, shall I go take a look first?"

"Let's go together!" Tang Zhiguo took Lu Kangming's arm, and the two of them went downstairs with a happy face.

……

……

In the interrogation room.

Huang Jian had his hands handcuffed and was sitting in the interrogation chair.

His hair was a mess, like a chicken coop, and he had dark circles under his eyes.

Luo Rui and Lin Chen were in charge of the interrogation. After two days and one night, no one had a good rest. However, it was important to start a preliminary trial immediately after catching the person. It was like a blind date, and both parties were testing each other's bottom line.

The police need to find out from the suspect which clues have been missed so that they can check and fill in the gaps later.

The suspects are also unsure how much key evidence the police have. Some suspects will hope for luck, while others will simply collapse. As soon as the interrogating officer opens his mouth, they deny all the facts of their crimes.

"Person being interrogated, please tell us your name, age, occupation and place of origin?"

"My name is Huang Jian. I'm from Linjiang City and I'm currently unemployed."

Luo Rui stared at him, leaned forward, and asked word by word: "Do you know why we arrested you?"

Huang Jian's eyes wandered around and he shook his head: "I don't know."

This meant that he wanted to resist, so Luo Rui asked, "Do you really not know, or are you pretending not to know? If you don't know why we're arresting you, then why are you running?"

"I didn't know you were police officers." Huang Jian raised his head and met Luo Rui's eyes.

"Who do you think is here to arrest you?"

"I……"

"Tell me clearly, who wants to arrest you?"

"I do not know."

"Where were you between 11pm and 2am on April 6th?"

"I can't remember clearly."

"Really?" Luo Rui said calmly, but his eyes were very sharp: "I'm telling you, your brother-in-law, Xin Wanchun, and his family of three were killed, along with two workers who lived in the brick factory, a total of five people, all killed between midnight and 2 a.m. on April 6th!
We found the only survivor at the crime scene, Xin Xin, do you know this little boy?"

Upon hearing this, Huang Jian's pupils shrank and his expression became uncertain. This was the first time he showed panic.

"According to Xin Xin's accusation, you stopped him at the school gate after school at 5pm on April 6th and told him that you would go to his house that night. You instigated Xin Xin to help you open the gate of the brick factory at 11pm that night. Your reason was that you had some disputes with his father Xin Wanchun and Xin Wanchun didn't like you. Is that right?!"

Huang Jian hurriedly shook his head, but cold sweat had already appeared on his forehead: "No... No, he is lying! He is a child. You police can't convict me based on the words of a nine-year-old child."

"It's not our turn to convict. This is the job of the procuratorate." Luo Rui stared at him intently: "It doesn't matter if you don't admit it..."

As he spoke, Luo Rui opened the door of the interrogation room and took several large transparent bags from a police officer.

As soon as Luo Rui took the interrogation table, Huang Jian couldn't help swallowing his saliva after seeing the things, and the sweat from his forehead dripped onto the interrogation table.

"Huang Jian, this was found in your home. Does this knife look familiar to you? In addition, there is the bloody shirt you were wearing when you killed someone, and the pajamas of the victim, Zou Fang. You can't deny it, right?"

"No, it's not me. I didn't kill anyone!" Huang Jian made a final resistance: "Someone must have secretly put these things into my house. I didn't know there were these things..."

"Oh!"

Luo Rui slammed the table and said, "Every piece of evidence here has your fingerprints and biological samples. When you raped Xin Xiaoju, you used a cloud cover. You took this thing away and wrapped it in Zou Fang's shirt. There is your DNA on it!

Your fingerprints are also on this murder weapon, and when you used this knife to cut Xin Xiaoju's throat, the blood stains on the blade were also stained with Xin Xiaoju's hair!

There is evidence and witnesses, and you still dare to deny it?"

Hearing this, Huang Jian looked like he had just been pulled out of the water. He was sweating profusely, breathing rapidly, and his eyes were dead. He had been in a posture of resistance, but now, he had collapsed in the interrogation chair, with no strength left in his body.

Tang Zhiguo and others who were watching the interrogation in the observation room had already realized that the witnesses, physical evidence, the crime scene, and the five bodies were all linked to the suspect, and there was no way around it.

In the interrogation room.

Huang Jian didn't speak for a long time. Luo Rui was not in a hurry and just stared at him.

The seconds on the dial on the wall move 'clang clang', indicating the passage of time.

About half an hour later, Huang Jian licked his lips and said disheartenedly: "I admit that I killed Xin Wanchun's family of three and Yong Jian and his wife."

Luo Rui sat up straight and breathed a sigh of relief: "Did you commit the crime alone, or did multiple people do it?"

Luo Rui has not forgotten Huang Jian’s ex-wife, Xin Wanchun’s younger sister, Xin Qiu.

"I did it all by myself."

"Why did you kill so many people?"

"because……"

Huang Jian sighed: "Xin Wanchun borrowed a loan shark and asked me to be his guarantor. Later, he couldn't pay back the money, so the loan shark asked me to pay it back.

Xin Wanchun's brick factory was a shell, and he was addicted to gambling, losing everything he had. The loan sharks forced me to pay back the money, knowing that I had a deposit. I didn't dare to fight them, so I helped him pay back the money, a total of more than one million yuan, and I took it all out.

I approached Xin Wanchun many times about this matter, but he refused to see me and turned me away. "

"Then you don't have to kill anyone for this, right? There are five lives in total, and you kill them just because you want to?"

Huang Jian shook his head: "It's not all because of this. What makes me angry is that I later found out that Xin Wanchun had borrowed money from this loan shark again, and the loan sharks were a group of hooligans who opened several casinos, and Xin Wanchun was one of the gamblers.

He used the brick factory as collateral to borrow money and gamble at the same time. He used to have a big business and had found many wealthy people to gamble with this gang.

The high-interest loan he owed before was actually the result of a collusion between him and those loan sharks. They were just using me as a scapegoat to get me to help him pay back the debt.

I was taken advantage of by Xin Wanchun and all my money was lost. I was so angry that I wanted to get the money back.

But Xin Wanchun refused to see me, so I had to find Xin Xin and ask him to help me open the door.

This child is a good one. When his aunt and I were not divorced, he was the closest to me. He promised to help me open the door late at night on April 6th.

Before I went there, I thought that if Xin Wanchun didn't agree to pay back the money, I would perish along with him and he would have no chance of having an easy life.

I remember that late at night on April 6th, I stayed under the wall for a long time. Xin Xin was afraid that I would wait too long, so he threw a ball of paper to me from the second-floor window and said that there were guests at home and his father was entertaining them, so he asked me to wait a while.

I waited until 11:30. After these people left, Xin Xin opened the door for me. I also found out that the guests Xin Wanchun received were actually the loan sharks. I knew the driver with glasses. He brought people to collect the 1 million yuan.

"After I entered the house, I saw Xin Wanchun and Yong Jian were the only ones in the living room on the first floor. They were both drunk, and as soon as I smelled the wine, I knew it was good wine. I had nothing left, but he still had money to eat and drink, and he teamed up with that group of loan sharks to cheat me.

I asked him to pay back the money, but he laughed at me, insulted me, and said some very unpleasant things. I couldn't bear it and chopped him with the knife I brought!
Xin Wanchun's worker Yong Jian was not a good person either. He joined in scolding me, so I killed him too.

After killing two people at once, I got so angry that I thought we were going to die anyway, so I might as well kill them all. I took a knife to the kitchen and killed Yong Jian's wife.

After killing these three people, I ran to the second floor. When Zou Fang saw me holding a knife, she started shouting loudly, "I... I don't know what happened at that time, but I just didn't want to let these people go."

Xin Wanchun harmed me, and I didn't want his family to have an easy life, so I did this to Zou Fang...

She ran to protect the children, and when she ran into the children's bedroom, I hacked the door open, stabbed her in the back, and then killed Xiaoju..."

When it comes to this name, Huang Jian lowered his head and didn't want to continue talking.

Luo Rui didn't let him go: "Huang Jian, why did you do that to Xin Xiaoju? Do you know that she is still a child?!"

"I... I didn't want to either. I don't know what state I was in when I killed someone. It was like... it was like that person was not me. Afterwards, I regretted it very much. I felt sorry for the mother and daughter."

"Are you and Xin Xiaoju on good terms?"

"I…I don't want to talk about her anymore."

"So the relationship is not bad?"

Luo Rui stared at him intently: "According to what we have learned, your sister-in-law, Zou Fang, is also a good woman. She treats the workers well and is also very good to you.

According to your ex-wife Xin Qiu, when you first got married, Xin Wanchun strongly disapproved of your marriage. Xin Wanchun thought you were poor and had no future, but Zou Fang protected you and even lent you money so that you could do business and contract construction sites. You did quite well in those years, and it was all because of Zou Fang's help.

Also, when you divorced Xin Qiu, Zou Fang also protected you. Xin Qiu originally wanted your house, but it was your sister-in-law who persuaded her to leave it to you.

You should understand all this without me having to explain it.”

Hearing this, Huang Jian sniffed and shed crocodile tears. He stammered, "That's what Xin Wanchun said to me that night. When I got married, he thought I was poor and said that he helped me and lent me money, but that money was not lent by him, so I was determined to kill him.

But I... I don't know what happened to me at that time, I got so excited that even my sister-in-law and niece..."

Luo Rui was unmoved by his words and then asked, "Then why didn't you kill Xin Xin?"

Seeing Huang Jian about to speak, Luo Rui said again: "Think it over carefully before you speak, and don't lie."

"At this point, I have nothing to hide." Huang Jian nodded heavily.

"After Xin Xin opened the door for me, he went to the second floor. He didn't see me kill anyone. When I went to the second floor, I was dealing with Zou Fang and Xin Xiaoju, so I didn't pay attention to him.

Until I pinned Xiaoju down on the bed, Xin Xin crawled out from under the bed and ran out. He was very fast. I searched for him in the brick factory for a long time but couldn't find him. I was very panicked at the time, thinking that I had killed so many people and I had to escape quickly.

I had no choice but to lock the gate of the brick factory and climb over the wall to escape."

“After I got home, I changed my clothes and immediately wanted to run, so I went to the bus station and hailed a bus outside the station.

But after arriving at the service area, I thought I would not be able to escape. Xin Xin knew that I was the one who killed his parents and sister. If the police caught him, he would definitely tell them about me.

So, I wanted to take the risk and stay in the service area for one night, and return to the city to find the child before the police suspected me. But I didn’t expect that you would act so quickly and find me almost that night..."

Luo Rui's heart trembled: "If you find him, what are you going to do to him?"

Huang Jian replied: "I want to take him with me."

"Really?" Luo Rui sneered: "Don't you want to harm this child?"

"I……"

Luo Rui stood up and cleared the materials on the table: "Huang Jian, I'll tell you the truth, Xin Xin didn't betray you."

"Why?" Huang Jian opened his eyes wide.

"Think about it yourself." Luo Rui didn't plan to continue dealing with him.

The three hours of the initial interrogation have passed. Huang Jian will face multiple interrogations in the future, but this is no longer Luo Rui's business.

Luo Rui and Lin Chen walked out of the interrogation room, while Tang Zhiguo, Lu Kangming and others had already walked out of the observation room.

Seeing Luo Rui, Tang Zhiguo clapped his hands with great joy.

With such a senior leader like him taking the lead, the surrounding police officers had no choice but to applaud.

"Luo, good job! Really good!"

Luo Rui smiled shyly and wanted to say: Calling others by their job titles at work is of course a joke. He knew that the other party was calling him by a nickname and in such a gentle tone, which was a sign of kindness and enthusiasm.

"This is all thanks to the good leadership of Director Tang, Director Lu, and Team Kang. If it weren't for our concerted efforts, this [406 Major Murder Case] ​​would not have been solved in such a short time. This is everyone's credit."

Hearing him say this, Tang Zhiguo laughed even more happily, and Lu Kangming was also so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. As for the credit, of course, everyone should share it equally.

If an ordinary, inconspicuous criminal police officer solves a case, his credit may be taken away by others and he may not get anything. Who told you to keep a low profile and no one knows who you are?

But Luo Rui is different, his reputation is well-known.

As long as he is involved in a case, no matter whether he takes the lead in solving it or not, the top leaders and grassroots police officers will give him a thumbs up, saying that Luo Saohuang is awesome!
This was very embarrassing. For example, Kang Bolin, as the captain of a detachment, although his position was one level higher than Luo Rui and he was also a leader, he should have reached out to grab the credit, and it would have been justified for him to do so because he was under my leadership. However, he did not have this opportunity. Not only did he not have this opportunity, he also became a foil.

Kang Bolin sighed. Thinking about the poor performance of his group last night, he felt a headache. It was clearly their side that had locked on the suspect first, but in the end, he let him escape.

Not to mention, while I was still wandering around the service area, Luo Rui had already led his men to catch someone on the highway. It all took less than an hour.

Although Luo Rui didn't say anything, Kang Bolin felt aggrieved.
This person is afraid of comparison. The more he compares, the more frustrated he becomes and the more he loses self-confidence.

At the beginning, Kang Bolin thought that if Luo Rui was transferred to Linjiang Municipal Bureau, the two sides would cooperate with each other to improve public security and crack down on crime. After his wish came true, he now realizes that he has become a foil.

It's like a virgin who thinks he can easily beat a powerful old A8, but he is beaten by the opponent and can't last a minute. After the fight, he still says calmly, "You are still good."

Isn't this an insult?
At this time, when everyone was expressing their praises to Luo Rui, he heard Kang Bolin sighing slightly.

He also felt a little uncomfortable. He didn't want to arrest anyone personally in last night's operation. God knows how you, Old Kang, led the team.

After returning to the office, the criminal team was excited and beaming with joy.

Before, when facing the praise from leaders, of course we had to pretend and act humble, but now, everyone let go.

Solving another case means credit, bonus, and opportunity for promotion, and it will be a highlight on everyone’s resume.

Fang Yonghui waved his fist happily: "Team Leader, how many cases have we solved at the Municipal Bureau?"

Yang Bo counted on his fingers: "Look at your memory. The dismemberment case, the espionage case and this major murder case, a total of three major cases."

Tian Guanghan asked, "Our credits haven't come down yet, right?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "How can it be so fast? The previous dismemberment case is still in the prosecution stage."

Su Mingyuan said: "If you ask me, our team leader will definitely be promoted again."

"Don't talk nonsense." Cai Xiaojing interrupted him: "The Kang team is still here, don't say anything that will affect unity."

Chu Yang blinked, hesitated for a while, and finally said, "I saw Team Kang go to Director Tang's office earlier."

Lin Chen sighed: "What else can we talk about? He must have gone to admit his mistake."

Cai Xiaojing said with a straight face: "Don't dwell on this matter all the time, let's talk about something else.

By the way, Luo Rui, that rich second-generation guy named Yuan Shi has been put in the detention center. He asked the prison guard to call you this morning and said he wants to report him for meritorious service. His father Yuan Biao also came to the Municipal Bureau today to look for you. He is still in the bureau now. Do you want to go meet him?"

She turned her head and saw Luo Rui sitting in a chair. She didn't know when he had fallen asleep...
