Chapter 473: Efforts
early morning.
Bai Jian, who hadn't eaten all day and night, stared at the large office of the Criminal Police Brigade with red eyes, watching the list increase and decrease on the wall in front of him.
He dispersed almost all the people under his command. Of the more than 100 criminal police officers, more than 20 went to Majiazhuang, 50 or 60 people went to surrounding villages respectively, and the remaining 50 or 60 people were divided into units of four. They were sent to nearby villages, towns, cities and counties, and some were sent to detention centers and prisons.
All the criminal police officers do is interrogate transcripts, and the content is actually the investigation of people who have been released from prison in Majiazhuang and nearby areas.
This kind of work can be said to be simple and simple, but it really needs to be done step by step. If there are no omissions, it will most test the grassroots security and governance capabilities. For example, in big cities in Europe and the United States, where the police and residents do not trust each other, similar work cannot be carried out at all.
The criminal police team in Shiting County often does similar work. In fact, Bai Jian's command to solve crimes mainly relies on investigation.
Contrary to what ordinary people imagine, normal criminal police officers, especially veteran criminal police officers, actually don’t have much more criminal investigation skills than criminal investigation enthusiasts. To be precise, less is normal.
As for what veteran detectives rely on to solve crimes, in addition to their accumulated experience and word-of-mouth experience, they rely more on serious and fierce eyes, serious and fierce expressions, serious and fierce laws, plus diligent legs and feet. Some luck.
Now, it's time to use your legs and luck.
Although he was full of expectations, Bai Jian didn't know whether the murderer was really among the ex-convicts, let alone when he would be able to find out. It was this expectation and worry that made Bai Jian's emotions so powerful. became mobilized.
It's like gambling, but much more exciting.
When ordinary people gamble, they mostly gamble their money and wealth, but what Bai Jian is gambling now is other people's lives!
One corpse and three corpses, burglary and murder, every word is an aggravation of the death penalty. As long as this person is caught, even if he has performed major meritorious services, he will not be able to escape the death penalty. At most, it will be implemented two years late.
"Captain Bai, how are you?" Huang Qiangmin came in with a smile that looked like a debt collector.
Bai Jian was a little afraid to see him now. He quacked twice before saying, "What can we do? It's just a family investigation."
"Don't be anxious. It's better to take three steps slowly and not miss a trace." Huang Qiangmin's attitude was unexpectedly modest, and it also soothed Bai Jian's mood.
As the captain of the criminal police brigade, Bai Jian knew how anxious everyone was in this position. If the Rottweiler has a bad temper, then if you look at the captain of the criminal police team, you will think that the Rottweiler is already a gentle dog.
In an instant, Bai Jian came to his senses: "Are you afraid that I won't be able to catch anyone and your Jiang Yuan's reputation will be ruined?"
Huang Qiangmin smiled and admitted: "We have been traveling across Shannan for so long, and the number of fatal cases we have detected is more than that of a county bureau. If something goes wrong because you did not investigate carefully, then you will really be cursed. "
"It's just checking a few villages, that's not it." Bai Jian curled his lips.
Huang Qiangmin smiled: "It's best if everything goes smoothly. If it doesn't work, you can also ask Xu Taining to come over."
Bai Jian was stunned for a moment, and his brows slowly wrinkled: "Are you threatening me?"
"What kind of threat is this?" Huang Qiangmin smiled, showing his canine teeth, and his expression was clear and threatening.
If the 3 yuan Yangchun noodles are not good, we will eat the 300 yuan crab roe noodles.
Huang Qiangmin is not exaggerating, but given the current reputation of Jiang Yuanji's special class, if he insists on inviting Xu Taining, Shiting County will probably not be able to hold on.
The lives of one and three corpses are accumulated. As long as there is a chance to detect it, why don't you invite Xu Taining?
You said you have no money. The Qinghe Municipal Bureau and the Provincial Bureau will probably fund part of it, and the Shiting County Bureau will provide part of it. It is only natural that all employees will work overtime to participate.
If you don't agree - if you don't agree, you will break the eucalyptus yourself. If the communication is not good, the above may be a time-limited crackdown.
If you don’t understand the pressure involved, you can imagine a student who cannot solve the last additional question when taking the final exam. At this time, the teacher suddenly announces that the exam is within the time limit, but he must complete the additional question. questions, and are ranked based on the scores of additional questions.
In this world, not a single zero is completely without consequences.
"Don't think that the criminal police teams in every county are like yours in Ningtai County." Bai Jian was indeed a little afraid of Huang Qiangmin, and he was also a little worried that the case would not be found out, and he was even more afraid that the legendary Xu Taining would fight for a crime. The son will let the county bureau owe the famine... However, Bai Jian's tone is not soft at all.
Huang Qiangmin stared at Bai Jian and said, "Our Ningtai County's criminal investigation ranking has always been above yours in Shiting County."
"You just have money, and you have college forensic doctors like Jiang Yuan. But the technical and tactical level of our frontline criminal police is definitely not inferior to that of big cities!" Bai Jian looked extremely confident.
Huang Qiangmin didn't bother to refute, and instead said: "When you screen the right people, gather a few people, and send them to Jiang Yuan once. He will watch at any time. If the murderer is found, there is no need to continue screening. The scope can be expanded, Don’t shrink, those who have been detained by the security can be considered..."
"I know." Bai Jian paused and then said, "Jiang Yuan, don't miss it."
"Don't worry." Huang Qiangmin smiled as if he was about to grow teeth.
…
Majiazhuang.
Mu Zhiyang followed the criminal police from Shiting County to question each family and take notes.
The work he did was very peripheral. The serious criminal police and local police, led by village cadres, questioned the families related to the victim Ma Jun one by one.
Shiting County made a key list of villagers who had grudges or even hatred with Ma Jun.
Everyone has been resting and raising here for hundreds of years. Some have close relationships, while others have deep grudges. Bai Jian is more concerned about the hatred. After all, the little benefit of Majiazhuang is not worth killing three people.
The criminal police he sent out naturally gave priority to questioning the villagers and their relatives on these lists.
Mu Zhiyang and Jiang Yuan were sent to strengthen the forces here, and naturally they were sent to do less important inquiries. Even so, the criminal police from Shiting County did not trust them too much and still sent people to follow them.
Being a criminal police, no one trusts anyone, just like an occupational disease that will exhaust yourself to death.
Mu Zhiyang's disease is lighter.
He has been with Jiang Yuan for too long. He has carried out Jiang Yuan's orders many times, so he has to believe in some things.
During the interrogation record in Majiazhuang, Mu Zhiyang did not have the urge to get any information. He just chatted with the old people at home.
The village is now inhabited by old people and children. They chat all day long and have talked about everything. Occasionally, there is something new, which comes out in the morning and spreads all over the village in the evening.
A young man like Mu Zhiyang, wearing a police uniform and willing to chat with old men and women, is almost more popular than Ma Jun's death story.
Logically speaking, everyone had nothing to hide. Ma Jun is from Majiazhuang. The whole family died with only one son left. Now he has gone to Changyang City to work. The villagers should help the police find the murderer.
However, the police asked everyone to describe the criminals among their relatives and friends, which made everyone a little bit grumbling.
Mu Zhiyang went to several houses and had some experience here. He chatted with them and asked with a smile: "You don't usually deal with the police, right? What should you do if things are lost in the fields?"
"If there are fewer things in the fields, it is not lost. If people take away the good ones, it is equivalent to helping others for a while. If they lose the unsuccessful ones, it is a waste of things, and no one will call the police." The old lady sat in the kitchen, lighting a firewood to smoke meat while chatting with Mu Zhiyang and others.
There is a tradition of smoking meat around Shiting County, and the place is too humid. If the meat is not smoked, the pigs of the Spring Festival will not be eaten until March or April of the following year, and maggots will grow.
The traditional smoked meat in Shiting County is hung on the stove, and it is smoked during daily cooking. However, people now eat more meat, and just hanging a few pieces of meat on the stove is not enough. The old men and women in the village are also responsible for supplying smoked meat to their children. Some people will smoke more and sell them to peddlers walking around the streets to earn a little living expenses.
Mu Zhiyang smelled the smoked meat and continued to talk to the old lady about it. He didn't have any tasks anyway, so he went out for a day.
After a while, when talking about lost things, the old lady said: "In the village, Ma Zhongmou's eldest grandson used to be the most naughty. He stole my smoked meat to sell for money, and then took the money to play games in the town. That kid has grown up and he won't come back now."
The old lady poked the fire, letting the smoke rise, and then said: "Now the land in the village is barren, and no one eats the things grown, even the smoked meat is not stolen."
Mu Zhiyang searched his notebook and said: "What is the name of the eldest grandson of Ma Zhongmou you are talking about?"
The old lady recalled and said: "Ma... Jiuhuang."
"Oh, then this Ma Jiuhuang, has he been in jail?" Mu Zhiyang made a note.
"He didn't go to jail, so he didn't go to jail. He just took some bacon."
"Oh, where did he work later? Did he work?"
"I don't know. Ma Zhongmou died a few years ago. He didn't have a happy life..."
Mu Zhiyang made a record, chatted with the old lady for a few more words, and then made another record.
When he came out and met another family, Mu Zhiyang still chatted in the same way, and took out the information he had just obtained, and talked about it and verified it by the way.
Speaking of which, Mu Zhiyang was very familiar with the investigation. He participated in the investigation organized by Xu Taining two or three times. The experts from the provincial department brought by Xu Taining, or the experts from Changyang City and other places, helped Xu Taining to direct, etc., and they would also give some brief training every time.
Now Mu Zhiyang is naturally incapable of doing the investigation and command by himself, but he has done a pretty good job when he participated in the investigation.
He took the interrogation records of five families in a row, and half a day had passed.
Mu Zhiyang reported to the captain of the criminal police squadron in charge, and found the addresses of several people who were checked out, and sent information to the local criminal police according to the place.
There are dozens of criminal police in Shiting County, and they are now floating outside. The addresses of the people who were checked out, which place they belong to, the local criminal police will continue to inquire and investigate.
As for the local criminal police, although they can ask for help or accompany the case, it is not very realistic to borrow them to directly handle the case.
After finishing his work, Mu Zhiyang returned to Shiting County, slept well that night, and went to help again the next day.
This went on for two days, and then on the third day, Mu Zhiyang got up early and went to the police station to take a car. He saw Bai Jian and others, who were already well-coiffed and powdered, standing on the steps early and posing.
"What is this?" Mu Zhiyang had some expectations, and hurriedly grabbed the familiar criminal police to ask.
"Hey, Officer Mu is here." The criminal police shouted, but attracted Bai Jian and others.
Mu Zhiyang was pushed to the bottom of the steps in a daze, and also started taking pictures.
"Xiao Mu is here."
"Team Mu, look here."
"Mu Zhiyang, you've worked hard."
The familiar scene and the familiar discourse system made Mu Zhiyang subconsciously touch his arms and legs, thinking: Could it be that I was injured two days ago, but I didn't know it?
Fortunately, Wang Chuanxing ran over and whispered to Mu Zhiyang: "The murderer is Ma Jiuhuang, the roommate of the detention center you pulled out."
Ma Jiuhuang is just a fellow villager of Ma Jun. The two are relatives beyond the fifth generation of kinship. The roommate in the detention center is an extremely fragile connection. Mu Zhiyang was surprised and said: "Can such a distant relationship be connected?"
"With so many factors such as height, weight, age and shoe size, there are not many criminals with previous criminal records who can meet the requirements." Wang Chuanxing paused and said: "Ma Jiuhuang is already a habitual thief. I heard that he can make meritorious service, and he has worked hard."
