Detective: From the Police Academy

Chapter 400 The secret in room 8!

"Liu Panpan, you'd better tell the truth. As long as you tell the truth, we will try to show leniency to you!"

Ordinary people who commit crimes for the first time are usually unable to resist the combination of soft and hard tactics. After the policy is announced, they will generally give in. Those who are more stubborn will also think twice.

Liu Panpan had been in business and had been working in society for many years, so he naturally had some confidence. But when it came to the word "trafficking", anyone would be scared.

The police are not fooling you. Over the years of promoting drug prohibition, this legal knowledge has been deeply rooted in the bones of the people - those who sell cannabis, or more than 50 grams of methamphetamine, or huge quantities of other drugs may be sentenced to death.

Liu Panpan naturally knew that she could not escape, and fear appeared in her eyes.

"I...I am innocent, officer, I am innocent..."

"Injustice?"

Liu Panpan burst into tears, her shoulders shaking. "I didn't sell anything at all. It was Mr. Xiao Ma who asked me to buy these things for him. He asked me to pass the money to the seller..."

When he heard that she was going to confess, Chu Yang's tense face relaxed a little.

"Can you assure me that your testimony is true?"

"Yes!" Liu Panpan nodded quickly: "I am telling the truth. I will say so even if I stand in court."

"Since when did Ma Kang ask you to buy pirates for him?"

"Three years ago, it was all horses at first, then ice or sea **."

"We investigated your transfer records and found that the amount every month was huge. Two or three people simply couldn't use up all of it. Besides him, who else was involved?"

Liu Panpan took a breath and said, "Boss Xiao Ma... No, Ma Kang has several circles of car friends. In addition to using the goods himself, he also provides them with goods."

"Do you know these people's names?"

Liu Panpan shook her head: "I'm not sure about this."

Lin Chen raised his head and said, "Think carefully, give a name, and prove that the other party was involved. This will count as a meritorious service for you."

Liu Panpan blinked her eyes to squeeze out the tears. After thinking for a long time, she replied, "I seem to know someone. I heard Ma Kang mention him. He seems to drive a Lamborghini. His nickname is 'Big Stick'. I don't know his real name."

Lin Chen glanced at him and wrote down the name in his notebook.

Chu Yang continued to ask: "Who supplies you?"

"A man nicknamed 'Golden Leopard', I don't know his real name."

"Have you ever seen him in person?"

"I've seen it."

"Where does he live?"

Liu Panpan shook her head: "I don't know."

“How do you trade?”

"I'm in the liquor business, and I'm considered a second-level agent. Whenever I need goods, I just call him, and he'll ask the driver to deliver the goods. The goods are sealed in cloud-proof bags, which are about the size of a finger, and then thrown into the foreign liquor and sealed again.

A truckload of wine can hold about a hundred cartons, thousands of bottles of wine, and the goods hidden inside are difficult to find. He also said that even drug-sniffing dogs can’t smell it.”

"Do you have his contact information?"

"some."

Chu Yang hesitated for a moment and asked, "Do you have anything else to say about Ma Kang?"

Hearing this, Liu Panpan raised his head and asked, "Can this be considered as a meritorious service?"

"As long as it is true, the procuratorate will determine the sentence at its discretion."

"I..." Liu Panpan gritted her teeth and said, "I won't be able to get out of prison anyway..."

After comforting herself, she made up her mind, raised her face and said, "Ma Kang is a pervert. He has a sexual fetish and he uses drugs to control those women!"

"How did you know?"

"He once said this when he was high. He said he had a harem and he would kill any girl who didn't obey him."

........................

----------

In the conference room, everyone stared at the surveillance screen. Feng Jianqiu smacked his lips and said, "Harem? Do you really think you are the emperor?"

Zhang Bo crossed his arms and said, "Of course not. This is a big fish. Our anti-drug detachment has a lot of work to do. Li Zhi, let's discuss whether we should work together or split up into two lines?"

Li Xu looked at Luo Rui and asked for his opinion.

"Let's investigate them separately. There are two cases of headless corpses, and Su He was beheaded in front of so many people. We haven't even figured out the identity of the murderer. This case is a bit complicated, and the Criminal Police Brigade can't spare the police force to work with you on the case."

Zhang Bo nodded: "Okay, that's what I mean. I'm going to be busy now. Let's keep in touch if there's any news."

Seeing him turn around and leave, Luo Rui hurriedly said, "Wait a minute."

"what happened?"

"Don't move the man nicknamed 'Big Stick'. He may be related to these two murders. How about we, the Criminal Police Brigade, take charge?"

"No problem." Zhang Bo didn't take it seriously. "This guy can hang out with Mr. Xiao Ma, so his identity must be extraordinary. He has a name and a surname, so he can't get away. What I want to catch now is the supply channel. These people are scum!"

After saying that, Zhang Bo took his men away, ready to get ready for a big fight.

In the conference room, Feng Jianqiu and Li Xu looked at Luo Rui, who sighed and said, "After asking so many questions, they all seem to be related to drug trafficking. Su He didn't take drugs either. What is her relationship with Ma Kang?"

Feng Jianqiu pondered and said, "How about we try him first? I think we can definitely find out something."

Li Xu nodded: "We have to bring him to trial as soon as possible. If it's too late, I'm afraid Ma Hongtao will use his connections to smooth things over, and our Director Jiang won't be able to handle the pressure."

"Okay, then let's meet him first!" Luo Rui stood up.

--------------

Ma Kang had been locked up in there for five hours. If his hands and legs had not been handcuffed, he would have probably smashed the interrogation table.

He was still wearing the pajamas he had worn this morning, his face was pale, his hair was messy, his eyes were red, and he looked like a mixed-breed dog, mentally deranged, the kind that wanted to bite anyone he met.

With a creak, the door of the interrogation room was pushed open, and Luo Rui's face appeared in the darkness.

Ma Kang looked up and stretched his body forward. The handcuffs jingled and he wanted to rush forward, but the handcuffs bound him tightly.

"Let me go, fucking! Let me go... Do you know who I am? I'm the prince of Jiashang International Hotel. Believe it or not, I'll get someone to kill you!"

Luo Rui turned a deaf ear to him and slapped his thigh nonchalantly with the document in his hand.

Fang Yonghui also followed in and gently closed the door of the interrogation room.

"You are all dogs, guard dogs, how dare you bite me! I will kill you!"

In addition to Ma Kang, there was also a doctor in a white coat in the interrogation room. He quickly stood up, walked to Luo Rui, and whispered, "Director Luo, he is addicted to drugs and is not very clear-headed."

"You mean we can't try it now?"

The doctor shook his head: "You have to wait."

Luo Rui frowned and asked, "Is there no way to wake him up quickly?"

Doctors say: "People who use drugs for a long time and in large quantities may experience more severe withdrawal symptoms, and these symptoms may last longer.

This is because their bodies have adapted to high doses of drugs, so after they stop using them, it takes longer for the body to adjust and recover.

Of course there are ways to make him sober, but the risk is too great. If something goes wrong...

Besides, even if the interrogation reveals something, his statement cannot be used.”

"Okay, I understand." Luo Rui said, "I'll ask him two questions and then leave."

As he said this, he walked up to Ma Kang. At this moment, Ma Kang fell into depression again. He looked listless and seemed to be very afraid of the cold. His body kept shaking and saliva was flowing from the corners of his mouth.

"Stars, so many stars, catch the stars..." This is an hallucination.

Luo Rui came up to him, stared into his bloodshot eyes, and asked word by word: "Ma Kang, how did Cao Huanlei die?"

Ma Kang looked dazed: "The sun is out, three suns, so dazzling, three suns connected, the world is going to be destroyed, haha... stinky bitch, stinky bitch actually dared to go against me, stinky bitch..."

"Is Cao Huanlei a stinky bitch?"

"Stinking bitch..." Ma Kang murmured, with no specific content in his words.

Luo Rui sighed, stood up, and looked at Fang Yonghui: "Let's go."

As soon as the two men came out of the interrogation room, they saw Zhao Ming running towards them in a hurry.

"Director Luo, didn't I ask you to wake me up?" Zhao Ming looked annoyed, his eyes puffy: "I slept till now, and I fell into a deep sleep."

Luo Rui smiled and said, "It's okay, you should get some more sleep and don't stay up like this."

Zhao Ming pulled his hand: "Come with me."

At this moment, Luo Rui suddenly remembered what Zhao Ming said in the early morning about his discovery.

Such a technical expert, with such a confident look on his face, would not have made Zhao Ming so excited if it wasn't a particularly important clue.

Luo Rui quickly told Fang Yonghui: "Call everyone over."

"Okay." Fang Yonghui trotted away.

Luo Rui followed Zhao Ming to the Municipal Bureau's laboratory, and others followed.

There is a three-dimensional image on Zhao Ming's computer screen. It is a piece of object the size of a fingernail, surrounded by dotted lines. It seems to be a photo taken under a microscope and magnified countless times.

"What is this?"

Before Zhao Ming could speak, Sun Zhihao, who was squeezed behind Fang Yonghui and Chu Yang, immediately started to explain: "Isn't this what Sister Qiao and I found in Cao Huanlei's bedroom?"

Luo Rui turned his head and stared at him: "Tell me clearly, how did you find out?"

Sun Zhihao said quickly, "There was a Winnie the Pooh on the wardrobe in Cao Huanlei's bedroom. This thing was sewn into the Winnie the Pooh's eyes. After Sister Qiao extracted this thing, she immediately asked Zhang Yong to take it back to the Municipal Bureau for identification."

Zhang Yong, who was hiding on the side, nodded immediately: "Yes, I handed this thing to Director Zhao as soon as I returned to the Municipal Bureau."

Zhao Ming said, "I stayed up all afternoon yesterday and finally figured out what this thing is."

Luo Rui leaned forward and looked at the computer screen.

Zhao Ming immediately sat in the chair, holding the mouse, and while turning the 3D image on the screen, he said, "This thing is made of plastic. Look, the edge is jagged. It should be a broken piece of a component." Luo Rui narrowed his eyes and said, "What is it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Ming had already turned the piece 180 degrees, and then two letter numbers appeared on the right side of this thing: SN.

"This?" Luo Rui suddenly understood.

Zhao Mingdao: "I searched the Internet based on these two letters and found that this fragment is a miniature monitor launched by Sunny in recent years. This fragment should be the invisible shell of the monitor."

"Monitor?" Lin Chen smacked his lips. "Does that mean someone put this monitor in Winnie the Pooh and has been monitoring Cao Huanlei?"

"It's possible." Fang Yonghui analyzed: "Let's not forget that Cao Huanlei was also a model of Jiashang Media. When Sun Zhihao and Qiao Xue were investigating her case, they happened to find Su He. Before they could get any clues, Su He was killed..."

Sun Zhihao interrupted, "Yesterday afternoon, Sister Qiao and I both felt that Su He must be someone special. No matter what we asked her, she avoided the question and refused to cooperate. That's why Sister Qiao and I chased her to Jiashang International Hotel..."

Luo Rui pondered and said, "Well, Chu Yang, take Sun Zhihao to Su He's house and see if there will be any discoveries."

"Yes, let's go right now!"

"Chu Yang, Lin Chen, follow me." Luo Rui walked out of the Municipal Bureau building. Just as the three of them were about to get in the car, he suddenly saw Qiao Xue following him and knocking on the car door.

Qiao Xue smiled and said, "Director Luo, where are we going?"

Luo Rui hesitated and shook his head gently, which was considered a compromise: "Let's go to Jiashang International Hotel."

When Luo Rui investigates a case, he usually operates in two vehicles. This is for greater maneuverability. If an emergency occurs, one vehicle will be too passive and it will be easy for unexpected situations to occur and they will be unable to cooperate with each other.

So Luo Rui drove the car himself, Qiao Xue sat in the passenger seat, and Fang Yonghui and Lin Chen's car followed behind them.

Qiao Xue changed into a black turtleneck sweater, which just covered the marks on her neck.

The snow outside has stopped, and sanitation workers are using snowplows to clear the snow on the road. The temperature is extremely low and the humidity is very high, so the windshield is often covered with a layer of white mist.

Luo Rui started the wipers, and the windshield made intermittent "scratching" sounds.

Qiao Xue looked out of the car window and saw people walking in the park and children making snowmen of various shapes, big and small.

There was only her and Luo Rui who was driving in the car, so the atmosphere was tense and neither of them spoke.

Finally, while waiting for the traffic light, Qiao Xue turned around and said, "Director Luo..."

Luo Rui nodded as a response, but did not turn around to look at her.

Qiao Xue thought for a moment and continued, "What did my uncle tell you?"

Luo Rui tapped the steering wheel with his fingers and smiled: "He said you are a good policeman."

Qiao Xue smiled slightly: "Impossible, every time my uncle sees me, he says I'm stupid and stubborn."

"As a criminal police officer, as long as the investigation direction is right, I will stick to it until the end. My master is actually such a person."

Qiao Xue nodded: "I know, otherwise he wouldn't have almost died while investigating Gu Zhiliang's traitor gang."

Speaking of this, Luo Rui also sighed. At that time, he was still a rookie who had just joined the police force. He saw Zheng Rong being stabbed by the murderer. At the moment of life-threatening, the old man didn't care about himself at all and told him to chase the murderer quickly.

If Yang Bo and Peng Jie had not acted quickly, drove at full speed and sent him to the hospital in time, he would have died gloriously.

Qiao Xue bit her lip and said, "Director Luo, my uncle also told me about you."

"Oh?" Luo Rui was a little curious. As he drove through the traffic light, he asked, "What did he say about me?"

"He said you were a natural detective and asked me to learn from you."

"Not really." Luo Rui smiled and said, "I'm just lucky."

Good luck? Being promoted to deputy director at the age of 24? Qiao Xue thought to herself, if this is good luck, does it mean that God is chasing you to give you a job?

As they were talking, four people in two cars arrived at the Jiashang International Hotel.

After showing their ID to the front desk, they took the elevator to the 8th floor. When they arrived at Presidential Suite No. , Luo Rui looked at the white seal on the door and his expression froze.

Lin Chen spoke first: "It seems that someone has tampered with the seal?"

Chu Yang and Qiao Xue took a closer look and saw that the originally smooth seal had become wrinkled and the edges were raised, obviously having been peeled off by someone.

"Who did it?" Fang Yonghui frowned: "I'll go get the manager."

Luo Rui reached out and removed the seal. Lin Chen took out the room card, which he had just gotten from the front desk. After swiping it on the sensing area, the door opened with a click.

Luo Rui pushed the door open and carefully observed the furnishings in the presidential suite, but there was no difference. After this person came in, he didn't seem to move anything in the living room.

Luo Rui stepped into the bedroom on the right, stood in the middle of the room, looked around, and frowned.

Seeing his appearance, Qiao Xue asked in confusion, "Director Luo, what's so special about this place? How could someone break in?"

Lin Chen also said: "Yes, is there any secret hidden in this presidential suite?"

Luo Rui said nothing, looking at the bedroom closet, bathroom, and a row of bookshelves.

There are not many furnishings in the room, but it is luxurious. The furniture and appliances are all foreign brands and are very valuable.

"Get a marble."

Lin Chen was surprised: "What is that?"

"Have you never played marbles? Give me some glass marbles."

"I'll go!" Qiao Xue trotted out.

Not long after, she came back with hundreds of marbles in a paper box and said, "I found these in the game room outside the hotel. I need to return them later."

After Luo Rui took it, he came to the middle of the bedroom, then squatted down and poured the glass marbles in the box onto the smooth wooden floor.

With a "crash" sound, hundreds of red, green and red marbles poured out and slid towards the wardrobe.

During this time, a dozen marbles were blocked by the coffee table at the end of the bed and stopped at the foot of the coffee table.

"What is this?" Lin Chen blinked: "This floor is uneven."

Luo Rui stood up and said, "When I searched this room this morning, I felt that there was something wrong with this bedroom. Such a high-end hotel cannot have such a mistake."

Qiao Xue's eyes turned, and suddenly she understood: "Director Luo, do you mean that there is a secret room in this presidential suite?"

"It's very likely." Luo Rui pondered, "This is the 18th floor. There can't be a basement. The most likely possibility is that there is a side room behind a wall."

As he spoke, Luo Rui walked towards the wardrobe embedded in the wall.

At this moment, Lin Chen said, "It's very strange. There is a cloakroom next to the entrance of the presidential suite. Ma Kang's clothes are hung there. It's very strange that there is a wardrobe in the bedroom."

Luo Rui reached out and slid the door of the closet open. Unlike ordinary closets, this closet had no horizontal bar in the middle. It was a large open space with a clothes drying rack inside. The most clothes were hung in the direction near the bathroom, while the left side was empty.

Luo Rui immediately ordered: "Take all the clothes away."

Qiao Xue and Lin Chen started to work, pulling down all the clothes and clotheslines and throwing them onto the bed.

Then, the entire closet was empty.

Luo Rui leaned his head in and knocked on the door behind the closet.

"Boom, bang..."

He knocked at them with his knuckles.

His heart sank until the knocking sound turned into "dong dong".

"This place is empty, right here." Luo Rui turned around and said, "Hurry up and find where the switch is."

Hearing this, Qiao Xue and Lin Chen quickly searched the room.

I searched the bedside table lamp, under the bed, next to the coffee table, and in the closet, but there was no mechanism that could be opened.

After a long time, Lin Chen spread out his hands: "No."

Qiao Xue also shook her head helplessly: "I didn't find it either. Is it because there is no mechanism and it is not set up in the bedroom?"

"Then go out and find it!"

After hearing this, the two of them immediately walked out of the bedroom.

This presidential suite covers a total area of ​​more than 400 square meters, with four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a dressing room, a storage room, and a luxurious small cinema and game room.

The search took a lot of effort. Lin Chen and Qiao Xue wore disposable gloves and rummaged through the drawers, but found nothing.

It's not that nothing was found, but some sex toys were found, the most eye-catching of which was a thorny object.

Lin Chen looked at the thing in his hand, his face flushed: "Bah, so shameless!"

Qiao Xue glanced at him and shook her head slightly.

Because of excessive exercise, both of them felt hot inside. They returned to the bedroom and wanted to report to Luo Rui, but saw that he was in the bathroom in the bedroom.

There was a huge frosted glass separating the bathroom and the bedroom, and I could vaguely see his figure inside.

Lin Chen walked to the bathroom door and said helplessly: "Director Luo, I didn't find the mechanism you mentioned."

Qiao Xue was a little anxious and asked, "How about I call a professional to come over?"

Luo Rui didn't say anything or look back, but walked to the bathtub and looked at the metal handle on the side of the bathtub.

There are three such metal handles, all golden in color.

Luo Rui bent down, grasped the first handle and twisted it gently. The sound of water rang in his ears and the ceramic bathtub began to fill with water.

Then, Luo Rui turned it off, skipped the second handle, and directly turned the third handle.

He just pulled it up gently when a slight noise came from the bedroom.

Lin Chen and Qiao Xue were shocked and quickly retreated to the bedroom, only to see the door panel behind the wardrobe rise up, revealing a gap that was three people wide and nearly two meters high.

Luo Rui stepped out of the bathroom and saw this scene, and he had a bad feeling.

He immediately walked towards the dark room in the closet. As soon as he entered, he felt dizzy and dazed.

As Lin Chen and Qiao Xue squeezed past him, Luo Rui found the switch and turned on the white woven light on the ceiling.

Lin Chen and Qiao Xue leaned over to look, and immediately showed stunned expressions.

There were countless photo frames hanging on the three walls, and the scenes in each frame were extremely explosive...
