Detective: From the Police Academy

Chapter 459 Once suspicion arises, the crime is established!

Six thirty in the morning.

Xishuang City, County People’s Hospital, the entire building is surrounded by a cordon and outsiders are not allowed to enter at will.

Several policemen guarding the scene sat in a tent, keeping watch on their surroundings without blinking.

A moment later, a county police car drove in from the gate, followed by a white Toyota Prado and a silver Coaster.

The four policemen on duty immediately ran out of the tent and stood straight.

After the car stopped next to the wall, Luo Rui and his group got out and looked up at the floor of the building.

Dong Jianhui pointed to the floor and said, "Boss Luo, Chen Fangliang escaped from the bathroom on the fifth floor. That window is in the bathroom."

Lin Chen held up his briefcase and asked, "Director Dong, do you mean that the suspect jumped from that window?"

"That's not possible. It's unlikely that someone could run away after jumping from such a high place." Dong Jianhui shook his head. "The scene is still under investigation. There should be a result by now. Shall we go up and take a look?"

Luo Rui nodded, and led by Dong Jianhui and Geng Lu, the group raised the cordon and walked towards the stairs.

From the first floor to the fifth floor, there is a fire door on each staircase platform, leading to the various departments on each floor. The fifth floor is the Department of Hepatology.

Go up the stairs and you can see the restroom opposite.

There was also a cordon outside the restroom, and outside the cordon was a row of yellow signs that read: Temporarily out of service.

The bathroom door was open, but no one was inside investigating.

But there were two people sleeping on the bench in the corridor on the right, and there was a row of metal exploration boxes on the ground.

Geng Lu immediately walked over and kicked the two men awake.

"What happened? Why did you fall asleep?"

A fat man heard the familiar smoke-filled voice of the captain, and immediately opened his eyes, sat up, shrank his neck and replied: "Our squadron leader said that there is nothing to investigate, the matter is very clear."

"Is the situation very clear? Let me tell you, this scene is very important. If you miss any clues, Director Dong and I will not forgive you!"

The fat man complained: "Captain Geng, then you have to talk to our squadron leader. We are not in charge. We are just following the instructions."

Geng Lu glanced at Luo Rui behind him, and seeing that he didn't notice them, he whispered, "Go call your squadron leader."

The fat man propped himself up, twisted his fat body, and ran towards the lounge provided by the hospital.

At this moment, Luo Rui handed the briefcase to Lin Chen, put on disposable shoe covers and gloves, raised the cordon, and walked carefully towards the bathroom door.

This was a very small restroom. When he entered from the door, he saw three doors on the left and a men's urinal on the right wall.

A red fire extinguisher fell on the wall near the door.

In addition to the dried blood stains on the floor of the bathroom, there was also a layer of dry powder.

Luo Rui was observing carefully and hadn't said anything yet.

Dong Jianhui, who was standing behind him, waved to another on-site investigator and shouted in dissatisfaction, "It's been a day and a night, and you haven't collected the evidence yet? Are you so careless?"

The short inspector had a bitter look on his face: "The squadron said that you have to bring people to see it anyway. After you have finished looking, we will... do it again."

"Asshole, you are kidding me!" Dong Jianhui said angrily, "How does this Guo Lexuan do things?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a young woman's voice rang out in the corridor: "Director Dong, if you are not satisfied, just fire me!"

Hearing this, Luo Rui turned around and saw a tall woman with a ponytail and in uniform standing outside the cordon.

She reached out her hand: "Mr. Luo? Are you Mr. Luo?"

Luo Rui took off his gloves and shook hands with her: "Hello."

"My name is Guo Lexuan." The woman grinned and pointed at Dong Jianhui: "I am the 'bastard' that Director Dong mentioned."

Luo Rui nodded, expressionless.

Fang Yonghui, who was standing outside, opened his eyes wide and whispered into Chu Yang's ear: "This female police officer is very elegant and beautiful."

Lin Chen rolled his eyes and said, "What? Are you tempted?"

Fang Yonghui simply straightened the hem of his clothes and said, "Do you think I have a chance?"

Qiao Xue shrugged: "You have no chance, people are always looking at Mr. Luo."

Guo Lexuan took out a disposable blue latex glove from his trouser pocket, blew into the mouth of the glove with his mouth, and then put on the glove neatly.

She raised the cordon, went in, took a quick look, and immediately said, "Boss Luo, Director Dong, we investigated the scene all day yesterday, and the general situation is clear."

Dong Jianhui asked first: "What do you mean?"

Guo Lexuan didn't even look at him, but stared at Luo Rui and said, "The suspect's way of escaping is very simple. Someone helped him subdue the two prison guards and opened the shackles on his hands and feet."

Dong Jianhui glanced at Luo Rui, winked and said: "Don't say that nonsense..."

Guo Lexuan interrupted him: "There is factual basis for this. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the fire extinguisher matches the wounds on the back of the heads of the two prison guards, and they were all attacked from behind.

We extracted several fingerprints from the bottle of the fire extinguisher, and after comparison, we confirmed that this fingerprint was Huang Fade's.

If nothing unexpected happens, he must have knocked out two prison guards, and his blows were too strong, almost killing them. Then he snatched the keys from the prison guards and let the suspect go.

In order to prevent the unconscious prison guard from arresting the suspect, Huang Fade fired a fire extinguisher, which is how the yellow dry powder on the bathroom floor came from.

Guo Lexuan pointed to the yellow number plate marked on the bathroom door.

"Judging from the suspect's footprints, he opened the shackles and fled all the way downstairs. The scene was that simple."

Luo Rui frowned: "In other words, this Huang Fade helped Chen Fangliang escape?"

"Yes!" Guo Lexuan nodded.

Dong Jianhui glared at her and said, "Stop talking nonsense. Just investigate the scene. Don't worry about anything else."

Guo Lexuan blinked and looked at Luo Rui: "Boss Luo, is the provincial department's technical team still short of people? Do you think I can work with you? I really can't stay in Zhangshui County anymore."

Hearing this, Luo Rui felt a toothache.

Dong Jianhui's face turned pale: "Xiao Guo, what's wrong with you? At this critical moment, do you want to piss me off to death?"

Guo Lexuan spread her hands and said, "Director Dong, since you don't like me anyway, I might as well find another way out. If you really drive me away in the future, will I still be able to make a living?"

"You..." Dong Jianhui was so angry that he was speechless.

Guo Lexuan shrugged: "By the way, what I said just now was not nonsense. The two prison guards have woken up, and they said it themselves."

"Why didn't you say it earlier!" Dong Jianhui stamped his feet.

Luo Rui glanced at Guo Lexuan, then quickly left the scene with Dong Jianhui.

In the inpatient ward, four plainclothes police officers were guarding the door, always on guard against the people around them.

Seeing a large group of people coming this way, the leading deputy captain of the criminal police team immediately stepped forward to greet them.

"Director Dong, Captain Geng, these two people have woken up."

"Why didn't you notify me immediately?" Dong Jianhui said dissatisfiedly.

Without waiting for the other party to answer, he let Luo Rui out and said, "This is Mr. Luo from the provincial department. The arrest is now being led by comrades from the provincial department. You two should get to know each other."

Luo Rui's name had long been known throughout the police system of Yunnan Province. His reputation as the man who single-handedly scared away the wealthy people of Yunnan Province had long been well-known.

They had also heard about the major X-cult case in Wucheng City, so they naturally did not dare to underestimate Luo Rui.

Luo Rui exchanged a few pleasantries with them, opened the door and left the ward.

The two prison guards had gauze wrapped around their heads. When they saw someone coming in, they immediately struggled to get up.

Luo Rui pressed his hand towards them and said soothingly, "You are injured, just lie down, I will just ask a few simple questions."

"By the way, I'm Luo Rui from the Provincial Criminal Investigation Corps. I'll be the one leading the investigation of this case." Luo Rui showed his police officer ID to the two people.

The older prison guard swallowed his saliva and nodded: "Officer Luo, I have heard of you, please feel free to ask."

Geng Lu wanted to pull a chair over for Luo Rui to sit on, but Luo Rui raised his hand to refuse.

"What's your name?"

"Yan Hao."

"Did you see the people who attacked you?"

"Yes, it's Doctor Huang from our prison."

The prison guard on the other bed also quickly replied: "I saw it too. At that time, I was about to take... 3371, the prisoner named Chen Fangliang, to the toilet cubicle. I turned around and saw Huang Fade coming in with a fire extinguisher. He raised his hand and hit Lao Yan on the back of the head."

Yan Hao nodded: "Huang Fade was very ruthless, and I had no time to hide. I was standing at the door with my back to him."

Luo Rui waved his hand: "You speak one by one."

Yan Hao pursed his lips and said, "Then let Xiao Liang tell the story. I fell to the ground immediately after being hit. I don't know much about what happened afterwards."

The young prison guard named Xiao Liang nodded and said, "After Lao Yan fell to the ground, I heard some movement, and just when I turned my head, dry ice was sprayed on my face.

Then, my neck was strangled by the handcuffs on 3371's hands. I touched the pistol on my waist, but before I could take it out, Huang Fade hit me hard on the forehead with a fire extinguisher.

I hadn't fainted yet, and Huang Fade was about to continue beating me, but 3371, who was holding my neck, shouted something at him, and Huang Fade stopped immediately.

Luo Rui narrowed his eyes and asked, "What did 3371 yell at that time?"

“He said: Don’t beat him to death.”

"Are you sure you heard this?"

"Yes, he was right behind me. I heard it clearly. Then 3371 knocked me out. I don't know what happened next."

"Where's the other person?" Luo Rui asked, "I remember there were three people guarding 3371."

Dong Jianhui replied, "This man is called Song Ming. He is 3371, Chen Fangliang's supervisor. He said that he went to get Chen Fangliang's medical report and found no one in the reception room. After searching around, he found three people lying on the floor in the bathroom." Dong Jianhui pointed to the two prison guards and said, "Besides them, there is also Huang Fade. His head is covered in blood. The doctor's examination showed that his brain was bleeding and his skull was damaged. He is still in a deep coma and has not woken up."

Luo Rui frowned and asked, "How did he get injured?"

Dong Jianhui said nothing.

At this time, Guo Lexuan, who was outside the door, crossed his arms and leaned sideways to answer: "He must have been beaten to death by 3371. We also extracted the man's fingerprints on the fire extinguisher."

Luo Rui rolled his eyes and said, "That is to say, Huang Fade helped Chen Fangliang escape and subdued the two prison guards. When Huang Fade wanted to kill the prison guards, Chen Fangliang warned him not to kill them.

But then Chen Fangliang killed Huang Fade who helped him?"

Guo Lexuan nodded: "That's probably the situation."

Dong Jianhui was puzzled and asked, "That's not right. If Huang Fade helped 3371 escape and caused his injuries, shouldn't we conceal his criminal process?"

Guo Lexuan leaned against the door and shrugged. "Director Dong, where is there a case of a perfect cover-up of a crime scene? I think Huang Fade must have intended to die by helping 3371 escape.

As a doctor in the system, I think it is unlikely that he would take such a big risk to help the prisoner escape if he had no reasons. "

Dong Jianhui asked: "How do you say that?"

Luo Rui narrowed his eyes: "Huang Fade must have felt that as long as he was dead, the judiciary would not be able to judge him. According to the principle of presumption of innocence, even if he was found guilty, the court would not be able to convict him."

Guo Lexuan smiled and said, "Mr. Luo is very clear about what he wants. That's what I mean. No matter how many clues and evidences we find pointing to him at the scene, as long as he is dead, he will not be tried in court."

Upon hearing this, Dong Jianhui's expression changed. He pointed at the deputy captain and said, "Go tell the director of the county hospital to wake him up quickly. If they can't cure him, transfer him to a large hospital in the provincial capital. Don't waste time here."

The criminal police captain nodded and immediately ran to make arrangements.

Geng Lu reminded: "Boss Luo, Director Dong, now that we have almost understood the case, should we hurry back to the bureau?
Chen Fangliang's whereabouts are still unknown. We organized police forces to search for him for a day and a night, but no news came back. If he escapes, we will be helpless."

Dong Jianhui nodded quickly and looked at Luo Rui.

Luo Rui pondered and said, "Director Dong, this case is not complicated. Arresting the suspect is the most important thing. You are also familiar with Zhangshui County. You go back to the bureau first. I will go to the prison to ask about the situation later."

Dong Jianhui nodded: "Okay, I'll send a few people to follow Mr. Luo to make it easier for you to do things."

Guo Lexuan, who was outside the door, took over the conversation: "Director Dong, leave it to me. I don't have anything to do anyway."

"You?" Dong Jianhui frowned: "Come back to the bureau with me..."

Before he finished speaking, Guo Lexuan sneered: "Uncle, if you don't agree, I will resign, I'm not kidding!"

When Dong Jianhui saw that she had revealed the identities of the two people, he gritted his teeth, turned around and left without saying a word.

Guo Lexuan shrugged, looked at Luo Rui and said with a smile: "Boss Luo, how can I cooperate with you?"

"There's nothing to cooperate with. I'm not mute." Luo Rui took the briefcase from Lin Chen and walked towards Huang Fade's ward.

Lin Chen, Qiao Xue and Chu Yang hurriedly followed.

Fang Yonghui fell behind and smiled at Guo Lexuan who was still in a daze, "Officer Guo, don't be offended. Our CEO Luo is actually a very nice person. He was just joking with you."

Guo Lexuan took off her gloves and followed Fang Yonghui, walking side by side, while holding out her hand: "What's your name?"

"My surname is Fang, Fang Yonghui." Fang Yonghui laughed and shook hands with her cordially.

"I heard that you came here from Wucheng?"

"Yes, I just solved a big case in Wucheng."

"The major X-cult case at Shangyao Reservoir?"

"Yes." Fang Yonghui glanced at her and said, "You know that too?"

"The news spread throughout the police system of Xishuang City, and more than 30 people were arrested. This big case has not happened in our Xishuang City for many years."

After saying that, Guo Lexuan sighed, "I really envy you guys for being able to follow Mr. Luo around to solve major cases. There aren't even a few murders in Zhangshui County in a year."

"That's not bad, is it?" Fang Yonghui said enviously, "Unlike us, we have to run around all year round, and sometimes we can't even have a hot meal."

Guo Lexuan narrowed her eyes and looked at him sideways: "Tell me, what method should I use to join you?"

"Uh..." Fang Yonghui was speechless: "I'm afraid this is difficult, right? Not to mention whether your county bureau will release him, the provincial department may not agree, unless you have some connections..."

Guo Lexuan pointed to Luo Rui's back and said, "Boss Luo should be able to decide on personnel appointments."

"He..." Fang Yonghui looked at Guo Lexuan's thin face, her peach blossom eyes still shining, and said inexplicably: "Our CEO Luo is not interested in women."

Hearing this, Guo Lexuan paused and squinted at him: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"I'm sorry, I said the wrong thing." Fang Yonghui quickly apologized.

Unexpectedly, Guo Lexuan added: "Mr. Luo is young and promising. I wonder if he is married?"

Fang Yonghui's face darkened, he felt ashamed, and said hurriedly: "She's been married for a long time, and she has a child. You can't afford to offend her."

Huang Fade’s ward.

Luo Rui looked at his condition, turned to the attending doctor who had been waiting in the ward and asked, "Can it be cured?"

"It can't be cured." The doctor handed Luo Rui a medical report in his hand: "The patient's brain is damaged, and there is a lot of blood congestion in the brain. Most importantly, the patient has advanced lung cancer."

This is equivalent to issuing a death notice.

Luo Rui raised his eyebrows: "In other words, there is no hope of survival?"

"Yes, even if you transfer the patient to a large hospital in the provincial capital, he won't live more than half a year."

Luo Rui nodded and looked at Guo Lexuan: "Where are his family members? Find his family members here."

"You ask me, I ask..." Guo Lexuan wanted to retort out of habit, but then she realized what she was doing and hurriedly said to the deputy captain standing next to her: "Deputy captain, the family members, come here quickly."

The deputy captain rolled his eyes and replied, "Huang Fade divorced five years ago. His daughter lives abroad and his ex-wife works in the provincial capital."

"So he works and lives alone in Zhangshui County?"

"Yes."

"What about his financial situation? Why did he help Chen Fangliang escape? Was it because of money? Or was it some other reason?"

The deputy captain shook his head: "We are still investigating this."

Luo Rui nodded. It had been a day and a night since Chen Fangliang escaped. The county bureau had organized police forces to capture him, and there were no extra manpower to conduct an investigation.

"Let's go to Zhangshui Prison and ask."

When I walked out of the hospital, it was already bright outside.

Luo Rui and his group did not have breakfast, so they had to buy some fried dough sticks and soy milk at the hospital entrance.

Guo Lexuan insisted on riding in the same car with Luo Rui. Lin Chen was eager to protect his master, so he gave the passenger seat to her.

Guo Lexuan drank soy milk and turned around to ask, "Boss Luo, can you tell me about the Wucheng case? I'm quite curious."

Luo Rui didn't even raise his head: "There's nothing to say."

Lin Chen chewed on a dough stick and said indifferently, "That's right, what's there to say? Isn't it just destroying a X-cult gang? There are so many major cases like this in Haidong Province."

Guo Lexuan was not polite either, and sneered: "Then the public security conditions in your Haidong Province need to be rectified."

"You..." Lin Chen sat up: "Officer Guo, what do you want to do? Why do you have to pester us?"

"You're wrong. I want to investigate the case with Mr. Luo." Guo Lexuan shrugged: "I made it very clear."

Lin Chen said, "If you have the ability, you can go to the provincial department to work on your relationship. Do you think our Chief Huang agrees?"

"Huang Weidong?" Guo Lexuan blinked and said nothing more.

Zhangshui Prison.

When Luo Rui arrived, the deputy warden was already waiting outside the gate.

"Boss Luo, please follow me. I'll take you to the cell to check out the situation."

Luo Rui nodded and walked into the Zhangshui Prison with high walls and wide gates.

"This 3371 lives in cell 12 in block C. Because he is an economic offender and has good behavior, the guards are quite nice to him. Moreover, 3371 has a good relationship with his cellmates. We really don't understand how he could escape from prison."

The deputy warden doesn't know yet that Huang Fade is the mole.

Luo Rui did not expose the secret. He followed him through several doors and took many twists and turns to reach cell No. 12.

Knowing that he was coming, many prison guards stood outside the cell, and the door of the cell was open.

The faces of these prison guards were livid. Although they did not speak, they looked at the prisoners in the cells with eyes that showed great vigilance and disgust.

Chen Fangliang's escape from prison broke the delicate balance established between prison guards and prisoners.

The nineteen prisoners in the cell stood beside their beds, all with their heads lowered and their hands on their trouser legs.

After Luo Rui entered, he smelled a strong smell of urine and cigarettes. This unpleasant smell seemed to have seeped into the walls, and as long as there were people living in the cell, it could not be dissipated.

The deputy warden pointed to bed number 16 inside.

"This is where Chen Fangliang sleeps. We haven't touched his things. Apart from some books and clothes, there is nothing special."

Luo Rui took the disposable gloves handed to him by Lin Chen, put them on, then walked to the bed and picked up a few books on the bedside.

Chen Fangliang is an economic criminal, but the books he reads are not economics books, but philosophy books, including Jung's works and Hegel's "Principles of Right Philosophy".

Luo Rui looked through the books one by one, holding the book in one hand and quickly flipping through the pages with the other.

Suddenly, a note fell out from the pages of one of the books, swirled, and landed on the ground.

Luo Rui bent down, picked up the note, and held it in front of him.

There was a line of words written neatly on it: "Once suspicion arises, the crime is established."
