Chapter 815 follows closely, another murder case occurs.
The subsequent investigation was relatively simple.
During the investigation of Zhang Wei, a large number of telephone communication records were discovered between Zhang Wei and the deceased Li Baotong, indicating that the two had known each other for a long time.
Zhang Wei once ran a food company, but it went bankrupt due to poor management, leaving him with a large amount of debt. He and Li Baotong were partners at the time, with Li Baotong investing 10 yuan. The investment also went down the drain.
However, this incident led to their separation. Zhang Wei tried several more business ventures, but none of them succeeded. Li Baotong, on the other hand, made a considerable amount of money after several attempts, gradually accumulating a substantial fortune. It was this realization that led Zhang Wei to decide to defraud Li Baotong.
However, during the subsequent fraud, Li Baotong discovered the problem and confronted Zhang Wei, leading to a conflict between the two. In reality, Zhang Wei's actions were not clever at all. Although he impersonated Song Jiang, the police investigation revealed that Song Jiang's protective umbrella was completely ineffective for Zhang Wei.
The investigation into the case progressed much faster than the investigation into the Qin Chuan incident. Li Ming and his team conducted a thorough investigation of Zhang Wei and arrested him the very next day. Facing police interrogation regarding Li Baotong's death, Zhang Wei offered no resistance and confessed everything during the interrogation.
According to Zhang Wei, he had an argument with Li Baodong, but he didn't actually intend to kill him. He claimed that Li Baodong was accidentally pushed off the windowsill. However, the police clearly do not accept this account.
Based on the situation at the scene, Li Ming and his group believed that Zhang Wei's killing of Li Baotong was premeditated murder, mainly because Song Jiang's blood was found at the scene.
Song Jiang's blood was lost three days before the incident when blood was collected in the village for a medical examination. This means that Song Jiang's blood was stolen by Zhang Wei at that time. When he stole Song Jiang's blood, he had already planned to murder Li Baotong and frame Song Jiang for killing Li Baotong.
After all, the account Li Baotong transferred the money to actually belonged to Song Jiang. This meant the fraudsters could be identified as Song Jiang, and given the presence of his blood at the scene, the police would naturally focus their attention on him. Zhang Wei hadn't anticipated that his little trick would be so easily exposed to the police.
After the case was investigated and concluded, Qin Chuan, as the director of the Public Security Bureau, no longer had much involvement or oversight. The remaining tasks, such as interrogation, data compilation, and transfer to the court, were handled by Li Ming and his team.
In the coming period, Qin Chuan will continue to visit and investigate grassroots police stations to understand the situation at the grassroots level.
In just two days, Qin Chuan visited three police stations and discovered that the public security situation in Dongchuan City was indeed far from optimistic. Sure enough, there were frequent major cases; he had handled two such cases in less than a month since he arrived, and the local police stations were also handling quite a few cases.
Previously, robberies still occurred frequently at the local police station, perhaps one or two per week. However, after the crackdown on organized crime, robberies have decreased, but thefts have increased, along with numerous cases of disorderly conduct, fights, and brawls. These cases are relatively easy to solve. Most of the disorderly conduct cases involve people drinking and causing trouble; the fights are similar – people might get into an argument after having a few drinks, and then it escalates into a brawl.
Overall, the current situation in Dongchuan City is that the people are known for their fierce and unruly nature. They may not be well-organized, but the frequency of serious crimes is relatively high.
A month passed quickly. Qin Chuan had just established himself as the director of the Dongchuan City Public Security Bureau and had a basic understanding of the situation. Although he hadn't visited all the police stations, he had a clear picture of the basic situation.
As a result, one month and three days after he took office, Lu Chuan had just finished a team meeting early in the morning and hadn't even entered his office when his phone rang.
When Qin Chuan saw the caller ID showed Li Ming from the Criminal Investigation Division, his heart skipped a beat. The last phone call he wanted to answer was from Li Yingying; he knew that calling her was never a good thing.
really.
A male corpse was found in an abandoned warehouse in the southern suburbs of Dongchuan City. The body was found in a gruesome manner, and the preliminary judgment is that it was a homicide.
Not long after, Li Ming, the head of the Criminal Investigation Detachment, rushed to the director's office to report the situation. Li Ming looked grave, with a slight sheen of sweat on his forehead. After standing still, he quickly gathered his thoughts and said, "Director Qin, the victim's name is Song Ming, 35 years old, living alone, and working as an accountant at a small trading company in the city. The person who reported the case is a scavenger from the neighborhood. This morning, he went to the warehouse area to look for scrap as usual, and found the warehouse door ajar. Out of curiosity, he went inside to check and discovered the body."
Qin Chuan frowned as he listened attentively to Li Ming's report, nodding slightly from time to time to signal him to continue.
Li Ming continued, "We immediately cordoned off the scene, and technicians are conducting an investigation. From the initial findings, the scene is very chaotic, with obvious signs of a struggle. The debris that was originally piled up in the warehouse is scattered all over the floor, some old wooden crates have been overturned, there are irregular footprints on the ground, and several drag marks of blood."
Upon hearing this, Qin Chuan immediately stood up. "Let's go, let's go to the scene." The two quickly drove to the crime scene. When they arrived at the abandoned warehouse in the southern suburbs, the area had already been cordoned off, and uniformed criminal investigation officers were busily moving around the scene. Qin Chuan and Li Ming crossed the cordon and entered the warehouse.
The warehouse reeked of a pungent stench of decay and rust. The light was dim, with only a few rays of sunlight straining through the cracks in the dilapidated roof. Song Ming's body lay sprawled in the center of the warehouse, surrounded by a large pool of dried, dark red blood, resembling a horrifying sight. His face was contorted, his eyes wide open, filled with terror and despair. A deep wound ran down his neck, nearly severing his carotid artery; the jagged edges of the wound clearly indicated repeated slashing with a sharp weapon.
The corpse had obvious bruises and abrasions on its wrists, as if it had struggled to break free of its restraints before death. Its clothes were disheveled, its shirt was torn with buttons scattered on the ground, its pants showed signs of being pulled, and its pockets were turned inside out and were empty.
Qin Chuan crouched down and carefully examined the wounds on the corpse, gently touching the edges of the wounds to feel their depth and angle. He also observed the distribution of bloodstains around the corpse, noting that the direction and range of the blood splattering were very regular, seemingly indicating the location and actions of the murderer.
