Chapter 551 Du Xun Disappears
The factory owner is Kou Wenhao, Kou Chaoyi's younger brother, quite young. When he was arrested, he was sleeping with his girlfriend at home. He had no idea what happened in the factory and had not received any information in advance.
Meng Yi's approach was right. He asked people to keep an eye on the bald man and his men. Otherwise, they would have called and informed Kou Wenhao, who had heard the news, and immediately left Yangcheng.
He couldn't run away, it would always be troublesome.
It was five o'clock in the morning.
Kou Wenhao was already sitting in the interrogation room, and other factory leaders, including workers, were being detained.
In the case of uncertainty about the number of people involved, anyone from the hardware factory had to be brought back for questioning.
In view of the large number of people in the factory, Zhang Jingang mobilized more than a hundred police officers from the branch and police station after reporting it, and took action and opened the trial at the same time.
Chen Yi himself did not expect that he would be involved in such a big case just by going to the Internet cafe to surf the Internet.
Of course, it was also thanks to Meng Yi.
As a policeman, Chen Yi could not have conducted a comprehensive investigation of Kou Chaoyi without any clues or doubts.
Meng Yi was a free man, and he had some personal emotions. He simply disliked Kou Chaoyi.
"Has the news been blocked?"
Before Chen Yi entered the interrogation room, Zhang Jingang, who came from home, asked at the Municipal Bureau.
The case of illegal manufacture of gun parts is indeed a bit sensitive, and he must come.
It is best to digest this case internally and not make it public. Even if it is made public, it must wait until everything is settled.
In fact, most criminal cases are like this. Cases that are made public before they are closed are basically because they have been seen by the public and cannot be concealed. In this case, a notice can only be issued first to tell everyone that the case is under further investigation and to wait patiently for the results.
Unclosed and open cases will only bring greater pressure to the criminal police handling the case, which is disadvantageous rather than beneficial.
"Don't worry, Director Zhang, it has been blocked." Chen Yi nodded.
He had repeatedly told Meng Yi not to spread the news. Fortunately, there were not many people entering the factory warehouse. They were all Meng Yi's confidants and were trustworthy. They would not go out and talk nonsense.
"That's good." Zhang Jingang said, "Interrogate first, and report to the provincial department three hours later."
Chen Yi entered the interrogation room.
Kou Wenhao was in his thirties. His clothes were messy, probably because he was sleeping when he was arrested.
When he saw Chen Yi appear, he looked helpless and hopeless, and he looked like he had accepted his fate.
Gun parts were found in the factory. Everyone must have been controlled. There was no chance.
This was different from murder. Murder could still try to deal with the police. As long as the illegal business was exposed, there would be no variables.
Chen Yi sat down and interrogated step by step.
Kou Wenhao confessed to the illegal manufacture of gun parts. The buyers were from abroad, and he was also suspected of smuggling out of the country.
There were actually not many people involved in the factory, only about one-fifth, and the remaining four-fifths made regular hardware accessories. These people had no idea that the factory was still producing illegal items.
As for the bald man, he was also unaware.
That group of people were just security guards hired by Kou Wenhao at a high price. They issued a death order that outsiders were not allowed to enter or leave the hardware factory. If anyone broke in by force, they would be dealt with as long as no one was killed. He would take care of the compensation and bail.
But he didn't expect that the person who broke in this time was a ruthless person. The "social big brother" he hired at a high price didn't even dare to move.
Finally, they talked about Kou Chaoyi.
"Kou... Chaoyi?" Kou Wenhao's depressed mood reacted, and he looked up and said in surprise: "What does this have to do with my brother? Didn't he open a private middle school and be the principal?"
Chen Yi was not affected by Meng Yi's preconceived ideas, and asked normally: "The factory used to belong to Kou Chaoyi, right?"
Before the interrogation, He Shixin had already checked the hardware factory thoroughly. The person who built the factory was Kou Chaoyi, and later it was transferred to his younger brother Kou Wenhao because of poor management.
It was not free, he paid for it.
With this money plus a loan, Kou Chaoyi built Qingshi Middle School and returned to his old business.
Kou Wenhao replied: "Yes, it was his before, but he transferred it to me because he lost money and couldn't continue. I used to be a manager in other factories and have business experience."
"Experience?" Chen Yi sneered, "With experience, why don't you do business properly and produce gun parts?"
Kou Wenhao was speechless and lowered his head again.
I don't know if this guy is careless or has a strong psychological quality, or if he is desperate. He is about to face a sentence of more than ten years or even life imprisonment, but he is still calm.
It's normal, he won't cry loudly in the interrogation room.
According to Kou Wenhao, Kou Chaoyi did not participate in the criminal act of manufacturing gun parts, which means that Meng Yi's investigation may have some errors.
No one can avoid looking at people through the crack of the door.
If others did not give up Kou Chaoyi, the police would not take summons measures against Kou Chaoyi.
The factory has been sold, and there is no reason to interrogate Kou Chaoyi. This is what Meng Yi said himself.
After asking a few more questions, Chen Yi left the interrogation room.
This case is not small, but not complicated. The factory was sealed and handed over to the procuratorate, and the case was closed.
…
When all the relevant personnel were interrogated, Chen Yi called Meng Yi.
“Kou Chaoyi was not involved? How is that possible?!” Meng Yi was quite surprised and suspected that he had heard it wrong.
Chen Yi: “Meng, what makes you think Kou Chaoyi was involved?”
Meng Yi: "My subordinates said that Kou Chaoyi has been in and out of the factory many times. He has sold the factory, how can he still go there often?"
Chen Yi: "I have asked Kou Wenhao. Kou Chaoyi does go to the factory often, just to visit. After all, it is his own factory, and he will feel emotional after selling it."
Meng Yi was helpless: "It really has nothing to do with him?"
Chen Yi: "From the clues we have so far, there is no evidence pointing to Kou Chaoyi's involvement in the case. You just hate him and want to send him in. After finding out there was a problem with the factory, you naturally placed the crime on him."
This statement is relatively straightforward and true.
After the last Guan Xinmei incident and the student union incident, Chen Yi also didn't like Kou Chaoyi, but his dislike didn't mean he could be arrested on trumped-up charges.
Seeing Meng Yi's silence, he smiled and said: "Although Kou Chaoyi should have nothing to do with this case, you at least assisted the police in finding a den for illegally manufacturing gun parts. It is a great achievement. I will help you apply for a reward."
Meng Yi was in a bad mood: "Goodbye, I'm not short of money, and I don't want a certificate. I'm not a primary school student."
"No?" Chen Yi sighed, "Well, this time you helped the police discover a major illegal crime and successfully solved it. If you were a police officer, you would have at least received second-class merit. Unfortunately, you are not a police officer.
However... this situation is specific and special. If you file it, you will be able to enjoy the green channel for administrative services of the public security organs in the future. Any needs will be dealt with first, no rewards will be given, just hang up first. "
Green channel?
These four words cheered up Meng Yi: "Wait a minute, don't worry about it yet. Who said I don't want rewards? I'm just kidding you."
Dealing with the police involves too many aspects of daily life. If you have a green channel, don't waste it. Speaking out will also save you face.
Who would have thought that Lizhi Meng Yi, who once smashed a bottle of wine across the street, would now be able to enjoy the privileges granted by the police for meritorious deeds and be whiter than ordinary people.
Chen Yi smiled and said: "Okay, I will apply later. When you have time, come to the city bureau to take a transcript. After all, you broke into someone else's factory. Just explain the matter clearly. I have already explained it."
Meng Yi: "Understood."
The phone hangs up.
Chen Yi went to Zhang Jingang to report the situation.
…
On the other side, Qin Fei and Xia Lan, who were not involved in the case, have begun to visit graduates of Qingshi. Some of these students have gone to college, and some have dropped out to work.
The ratio is half and half, but it is different from what I imagined. I thought it would be difficult for students who graduated from Qingshi to successfully pass the college entrance examination.
Whether it is a vocational college, a junior college, or an undergraduate degree, for students, as long as they go to school, it is better than working part-time, and they will at least be more comfortable for a few more years.
Because of the large number of visitors, Qin Fei applied to Chen Yi for additional police force, and the latter agreed.
Unlike the case of illegally manufacturing gun parts at the hardware factory, Kou Chaoyi was suspected of obscenity, so he could be investigated in a targeted manner.
Things that have been done will be thoroughly investigated, and things that have not been done will not be unjust.
Lin Chen heard about this two days later. At this time, his task at Shixin had already been completed. After half a day of psychological construction, he came to Chen Yi's office.
They were relatives behind closed doors, so Lin Chen called him brother-in-law.
Chen Yi was processing documents and said without raising his head: "You want to go investigate the case with Xia Lan."
Lin Chen never dared to play tricks with Chen Yi and admit it honestly.
Chen Yi stopped talking and continued busy.
Lin Chen didn't bother him, just stood there and waited quietly.
After more than ten minutes, Chen Yi put the documents together, leaned on the chair, took out a cigarette and lit it, and then looked at Lin Chen standing in front of him.
"Is it to investigate the case, or to chase the girl." Chen Yi said with a smile.
Lin Chen thought for a while and said, "Half and half."
Chen Yi: "No, it's 100% to chase girls. If it weren't for Xia Lan being in this detective team, you wouldn't come to me."
Lin Chen wanted to refute, but didn't dare.
"It's human nature, go ahead."
Chen Yi didn't intend to say anything to the other party. Police officers are also human beings. Since Lin Chen came to the Municipal Bureau's Criminal Investigation Detachment, he has performed well in all aspects.
At the same time, he also has a strong sense of learning, which is what he is most satisfied with.
If you chase girls, just chase girls, it doesn't matter.
"Thank you, brother-in-law, I'm leaving then!"
Lin Chen couldn't wait to leave the office and took out his mobile phone to call Qin Fei.
Just as he arrived at the door of the city bureau, a middle-aged man walked towards him. He was also walking very fast, and the two of them bumped into each other without noticing.
"Sorry, sorry, I was too anxious." The middle-aged man apologized quickly after stabilizing himself.
Lin Chen just frowned, quickly relaxed his eyebrows, and asked: "What are you doing?"
Middle-aged man: "I'm looking for... Captain Zhuo."
"Captain Zhuo?" Lin Chen waved his hand to signal the other party to come in, "It's right inside."
Middle-aged man: "Okay, thank you, I'm sorry for causing you any trouble."
After watching Lin Chen leave, he quickly entered the city bureau and soon met Zhuo Yun who was working.
"Mr. Du, why are you here?"
Zhuo Yun knew him, Du Xun's father. When he was dealing with the beating incident in the student union in Qingshi, he met many parents, among whom Du Xun's father was the most impressed.
Because Du Xun's case was the latest, he was locked up in a small dark room, and he had other injuries on his body, which were relatively more serious in nature.
And when he was beaten, Chen Yi was right next to him.
His priority was Du Xun's case.
If the perpetrator had not finally obtained the forgiveness of the victim and the victim's family, there would definitely be a stain in the file, and he might even be put in a correctional facility. It would not be as simple as paying some money.
Du Xun's father was very anxious: "Captain Zhuo, my son is missing. I went to the school to look for him, but he was not there."
"Missing?!" Zhuo Yun's face changed slightly, "Have you looked in all the places you should look for him?"
Du Xun's father said: "We have looked everywhere, but he is not at his grandparents' place, and we have asked relatives, but they have not seen him."
Zhuo Yun frowned, thought for a moment and stood up: "Wait a minute."
He went to the captain's office.
Upon learning that Du Xun was missing, Chen Yi suddenly had a bad premonition, and then left the office with Zhuo Yun to meet Du Xun's father.
Missing cases are generally not under the jurisdiction of the Criminal Investigation Detachment, but since the family members came in person, of course they have to find out, not to mention that the missing person is a student of Qingshi.
"Mr. Du, this is our captain Chen Yi." Zhuo Yun introduced.
Hearing this, Du Xun's father quickly extended his hands and said politely: "Captain Chen, hello, hello."
"Mr. Du, please sit down and tell me the details. When did you find out that he was missing?"
Several people sat down and listened to what Du Xun's father said.
It has been more than a week since Chen Yi and Meng Yi left Qingshi. Qingshi resumed weekends, but Du Xun did not go home.
Du Xun did not have a mobile phone because Qingshi did not allow him to bring it, so Du Xun's father went to the school to look for him.
Most of the students had left school, and Du Xun was not among the students who stayed.
Classrooms, playgrounds, dormitories, every toilet including the women's toilet...every place that could be found was searched, and Du Xun was indeed not in school.
The small dark room in the playground was demolished a week ago, and there was no dead corner where people could hide.
After listening, Chen Yi said: "Mr. Du, excuse me, has he contacted his mother?"
Du Xun said that his mother ran away with someone.
When mentioning his wife, Du Xun's father looked unnatural and sighed: "It's been many years since we last saw each other. There's no way we can have any contact."
Chen Yi: "You don't have any contact information either?"
Du Xun's father shook his head: "No."
Chen Yi: "Well, let the police look for him. Can you go back and wait for news? Don't be idle. Think carefully about where he might go.
Don't worry too much. A student who has been in a high-pressure environment for a long time suddenly gets freedom and may go somewhere to play."
Preliminary inference, did he go to an Internet cafe?
Du Xun could sneak out to surf the Internet in the environment of Qingshi. Now that he has free time, it's hard for him to resist.
Du Xun's father thought about it and felt that it made sense. He was relieved a little. He thanked him and left the Municipal Bureau.
"Distribute the task of finding people and ask the police in each jurisdiction within a radius of 50 kilometers to go to the Internet cafe to look for him." Chen Yi said to Zhuo Yun in the Municipal Bureau.
Zhuo Yun nodded: "Yes, I'll go now."
Chen Yi: "Also, go retrieve the surveillance footage from Qingshi and its vicinity to determine the direction Du Xun left. It would be best if we can find him directly."
Zhuo Yun: "Understood."
