Chapter 585 Detention Center

Chen Yi did not notify him in advance before coming, so the detention center he sees now is the most real detention center.

Just after breakfast time, police officers from the prison were passing by carrying iron buckets together, and others were carrying leftover pickles and steamed buns.

When the two sides met, several policemen reacted for a while and quickly put down the iron barrels.

"Team Chen!"

Chen Yi nodded in response and took a look at the contents of the iron bucket. It was the remaining cabbage.

Cabbage, steamed buns, and pickles are the three meals a day in the detention center. Occasionally, they cook some white porridge.

The food is not good, but detainees can spend money to buy instant foods such as instant noodles, braised eggs, ham sausages, etc. Unfortunately, it is difficult to get hot water and can only be brewed with warm water.

I came here to be punished, not to enjoy myself. The maximum detention period was ten days, and the endurance was over.

Compared with the detention center, the conditions are pretty good.

Waving his hands to signal a few people to get busy, Chen Yi clasped his hands behind his back and continued walking forward. The place is so big and can be visited in two minutes.

Someone has already called the director to inform him.

The director of Yangcheng No. 3 Detention Center, Gao, is assigned to the deputy department, one level below Chen Yi.

The floor-to-ceiling windows in the corridor are transparent, and you can see the courtyard. Surrounding the courtyard are prison cells, and beyond the prison cells are walls with barbed wire on top.

There is no restaurant in the detention center. The only place to eat is in the courtyard, where you eat while squatting.

No one will escape from the detention center. The main reason is that there is no need to escape after being detained for a few days. If you escape, the nature of the detention will change. The secondary reason is that no one has the courage.

It's just an ordinary violation of the law. If you don't dare to commit a crime, how can you have the courage to escape?

Ahead, we can see many detainees returning to their cells, so there is no need to call.

After returning to the cell, the projector will be turned on and TV series will be played to kill time.

Further on, we reached the place where we queued up to make phone calls.

Chen Yi stopped. A prison policeman was maintaining queue discipline. He would kick anyone who was impatient and eager to leave the queue to watch.

"Still looking! Is there anything interesting to see?!"

The other party didn't dare to resist and was honest.

The prison policeman who had been following Chen Yi coughed quickly when he saw this.

The man looked over, and after recognizing Chen Yi, his whole body tensed up and he subconsciously stood at attention.

Chen Yi ignored it and shifted his gaze.

In a place like this, human rights are relative. If you dare to break the law, you will have to bear the consequences of being disciplined.

There are gangsters, gamblers, prostitutes... there are all kinds of people doing this. The prison police will definitely not be able to say to you politely: Brother, can you stop reading? Wait in line, thank you.

A prison police officer who just joined the job may say a few words, but as time goes by, he will use the simplest method.

I come into contact with all kinds of illegal people every day, which makes me feel exhausted.

Seeing that Chen Yi was not going to pursue the case, the man breathed a sigh of relief and continued to maintain queue discipline, but his movements of hands and feet were much restrained.

The director came soon after hearing the news.

"Captain Chen!"

The sound came before anyone arrived. Chen Yi turned around and saw a middle-aged man walking towards him with his hand extended.

The two shook hands.

Chen Yi expressed his intention to come, and the director was very happy. He turned around and shouted: "Tan Dong! Who is Tan Dong? Bring him here, bring him here!"

Tan Dong was waiting in line, not knowing whether to call a friend or a family member. He was taken away by the prison police in a daze and stood in front of Chen Yi.

He didn't know Chen Yi, nor did he know the director.

Strictly speaking, he didn't know anyone in the detention center.

"Captain Chen, why don't you go to my office?" the director suggested.

There are no interrogation rooms in detention centers.

"No, just chat here." Chen Yi looked at Tan Dong. He was wearing a blue uniform vest and his hair was messy.

His facial features are not bad, and if he dresses up a bit, he looks human-like.

If you have some money on hand, picking up girls won't be a problem.

The director asked: "Should we avoid it?"

Chen Yi responded with a smile: "No, let's listen to the story together."

The director hummed, and he and Chen Yi looked at Tan Dong. The suspect who was personally interrogated by the deputy captain of criminal investigation and the captain of the criminal investigation detachment was probably related to the criminal case.

And it is a relatively serious criminal case.

This was often the case in previous years. He was originally detained, but new clues were discovered along the way, so administrative detention was directly turned into criminal detention. He was taken from the detention center and sent to a detention center. The change from food and clothing to punishment became a crime.

"Who are you?" Tan Dong was a little timid. Even a fool could see that the young man standing in front of him... had a high status.

Chen Yi: "You don't need to worry about who I am. Just chat for a few words and I'll leave. About Shidu Town."

When he heard the words "Shidu Town", Tan Dong's body trembled visibly, and his eyes showed panic.

"Shi... Shidu Town?!" He obviously didn't want to remember it, and he might have forced it to forget, but Chen Yi was reminded of it again.

Chen Yi ignored the other party's fear and asked, "When did you go to Shidu Town?"

Tan Dong swallowed. With so many policemen surrounding him, he didn't dare to refuse to answer. He bit the bullet and said, "Da... about five or six years ago."

Chen Yi: "What were you going to do? Tell me exactly what you saw."

Tan Dong's memories were somewhat scattered, the chronological order was reversed, and his expressive ability was even more limited. However, by combining all the words, Chen Yi roughly understood the other party's experience.

A few years ago, Tan Dong took his new girl to Jingcheng for a trip, and then from Jingcheng to the small town of Shidu, wanting to see what the once prosperous Shidu City looked like now.

It was the girl who suggested it. That girl likes adventure and often pays attention to weird places all over the country on the Internet.

The small town of Shidu is nicknamed the "Ghost Town". Since it is so close, of course you have to visit it.

According to Tan Dong, Shidu Town is not completely deserted. There are still people occasionally, mostly young people, who are curious and want to see the ghost town.

Wherever there are people, there is business, so there is a hotel run by locals in the desolate town of Shidu.

When Tan Dong went there, there were quite a few people living there.

It is said to be a hotel, but the name is quite retro, called Yunshui Inn, which is full of poetry.

You can eat, live, and sell some daily necessities, cigarettes.

Tan Dong stayed for two days and ran away on the morning of the third day.

Because I saw ghosts for two days.

The first ghost floated past the window, and the second ghost hung on a dead tree outside the town, swaying with the wind.

At this point, Tan Dong's face turned pale and his lips trembled.

The director and the prison police looked at each other with strange expressions. They were both relatively firm materialists, and naturally they would not believe in ghosts and gods.

Either he saw it wrong, or it was imaginary, or someone was pretending to be a ghost.

There is no fourth possibility.

Chen Yi listened very seriously and asked, "Did everyone else see it? Did your girlfriend see it too?"

Tan Dong said: "Everyone saw the ghost floating through the window, but I was the only one who saw the ghost hanging on the dead tree, and some people called the police."

Chen Yi: "What happens after calling the police?"

Tan Dong: "The police came in an hour and found nothing."

Chen Yi took out his mobile phone and opened the map, asking Tan Dong to mark the approximate location of Shidu Town.

He enlarged the map and calculated. The nearest police station in Shidu Town was the Shuishi Town Police Station. Judging from the distance, it would indeed take an hour for the police to arrive at the location of Shidu Town.

Tan Dong did not lie about this matter. He should have really been to Shidu Town, and Jingcheng is indeed a tourist city. It is not very far from Shidu Town, about six hours.

"Is Yunshui Inn normal? I mean the staff inside." Chen Yi thought for a moment and continued to ask.

Tan Dong was deeply impressed and said: "There are only three people in total, a boss, a chef and a waiter. That waiter is very strange! He has dark circles under his eyes and a pale face, which is eerie. He always looks sideways and peeks at people, which is very uncomfortable!" "

At this point, he shuddered again, and it seemed that he was really frightened.

Chen Yi: "Is anyone hurt?"

Tan Dong: "That's not true... maybe it's because there are too many people. The Yang energy is strong, but it's not necessarily the case that there are few people. There were dozens of people staying in the hotel at that time."

The director and others smiled and shook their heads. They became more and more nervous as they talked. They didn't know what kind of case Chen Yi was investigating. They had all been investigated in Jingcheng.

Thousands of kilometers.

"How did your girlfriend react?" Chen Yi asked.

Tan Dong: "I was scared too. I broke up with her when I got back. Who the hell did you take me to a place like that! You must never touch a girl with a sick mind like this in the future!"

Everyone looked at him a little strangely, it was not certain who was sick.

"Are you sure there were no casualties?"

"Casualties? No, no." Tan Dong shook his head.

"Where's the financial loss?"

"No."

Chen Yi realized that the time was wrong. If he could enter a top-secret case, it would be impossible for no one to die.

Did people die after the haunting, or did people die before the haunting, or has it always been haunted?

Maybe...it's haunted by dead people, right?

When there are dead people, there is material to make a big fuss about, just like in a haunted house.

Only when someone has died can people be reminded of it.

Since someone is pretending to be a ghost, the three locals from Yunshui Inn are the most suspicious.

There must be a motive for everything you do. No one was harmed and no money was lost during the two days Tan Dong lived there. It is unlikely that it was just a scare, right?

He became interested. When he went to the Imperial City and read the detailed files, he would know the whole story.

Tan Dong left and started queuing again.

Perhaps because of Chen Yi, the prison police asked him to insert himself into the seat just now, and it was his turn soon.

"Captain Chen, why don't you come to my office for a cup of tea?" the director invited.

Chen Yi declined politely: "Forget it, I have something to do back at the provincial office. Sorry to bother you, you are busy."

When he turned to leave the detention center, a short man who was queuing up to make a phone call suddenly stood up and shouted: "Fishing law enforcement! I want to report it!"

Chen Yi stopped and turned back.

The director was about to send Chen Yi out, but he almost didn't react at this moment and said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about! Stand back!!"

The man has mustered up the courage and will not stop. He must have seen Chen Yi's extraordinary status.

Chen Yi didn't react much and looked at the other person carefully.

He is only 1.6 meters tall, very thin, wearing a white shirt under a uniform blue waistcoat, with dark complexion, eyebrows and eyes, and a bit weak from overindulgence.

"I didn't do anything!" The man seemed to be holding back his anger and gave up.

Chen Yi raised his hand to stop the director from intervening, but the latter was not afraid. He didn't arrest the person anyway, he was only responsible for guarding him.

"Why did you come in?"

Man: "Whoring...but I didn't do anything!"

Chen Yi: "You didn't do anything? Did you chat with the woman?"

The man opened his mouth, not daring to look at Chen Yi: "Let's chat..."

Chen Yi: "Have you agreed on the price?"

The chat records are evidence, and they must have been recorded. Now almost no one dares to make a false case. Since they are here, there must be facts.

The man looked unnatural: "We have negotiated... But I was caught by the public security brigade as soon as I arrived. I didn't see the woman at all. Isn't this fishing enforcement?!"

Chen Yi said: "After you get out, you can find a lawyer to ask. As long as the price is negotiated, it is illegal. Even if the transaction is not completed, you can be detained according to the law.

Also, it looks like this is not the first time for you. Do you need to thoroughly check your transaction records, mobile phone chat records, and call records to see how many times you have done it in half a year.

Just a reminder, the prosecution period is half a year."

There are only zero and countless times of prostitution, otherwise the other party will not be able to get in.

Man: "I..."

Chen Yi: "Anything else?"

The man lowered his head, his face was hot, and he felt like a clown.

Chen Yi turned and left, and the director and others hurriedly followed.

When they reached the door, Chen Yi asked, "Who arrested that man just now?"

The director was not sure, so he looked at a subordinate, who answered, "The plainclothes brigade of Hongzhong Branch."

The plainclothes brigade and the public security brigade are both responsible for public security violations.

Chen Yi said to Qin Fei, "Call the branch and ask who is in charge of this case. If the person in charge gives a warning, just say it's my idea. If he doesn't agree, let him go to the provincial department to find me."

One thing for one thing.

The man was definitely not wronged, but the police in charge of this case must have violated the rules.

"Yes." Qin Fei took out his mobile phone.

The sudden change made the director frightened, thinking that the rumors about Chen Yi were indeed true, and he was a very difficult person to mess with.

"Captain Chen, what's this?"

Chen Yi: "Just pretend that what happened just now never happened. Since he dared to stand up, he must be dissatisfied. The plainclothes brigade used the woman to lure him out. Both sides are wrong, but the weak endured and the strong were fine."

There is no strict boundary for fishing enforcement. Take the anti-drug team as an example. It is a common method to play the role of a buyer to lure out drug dealers. In order to fight against drugs, any method is acceptable as long as the result is achieved.

But it cannot be advocated for other crimes.

"Captain Chen, take care."

Watching Chen Yi get in the car and leave, the director breathed a sigh of relief and asked everyone to return to their work.

Whether to punish or not, it has nothing to do with him anyway.

After leaving the detention center, Chen Yi went straight to the provincial department. He Shirong should have arrived now.

As for the case in Shidu Town, he was more and more curious at the moment. What link was wrong with the case that He Shirong called weird?

Is it weird death or weird crime?

There are still many phenomena that cannot be explained by science. People's cognition is also different. Even elementary school students may know the material principles that doctors do not know.

Perhaps, it just happened to hit the knowledge blind spot of most criminal police officers.

Perhaps, the suspect's methods are too sophisticated.

In this case, Chen Yi has no pressure to look beyond the surface to the essence. Since it has happened, there must be a special way to do it.
