The crackdown on organized crime began with the arrest of the mother-in-law.

Chapter 814 Case Analysis Meeting, Next Step

It was already noon when the incident occurred. After the on-site investigation, everyone worked through the night, especially those involved in the on-site investigation and forensic examination. After a busy night, Li Ming organized a case analysis meeting early the next morning, as requested by Qin Chuan.

A tense atmosphere filled the conference room.

Everyone was exhausted, and there seemed to be a heavy atmosphere in the air.

Qin Chuan sat at the head of the conference table, his gaze sweeping over every criminal police officer present, from Li Ming, the head of the criminal investigation detachment, to the key personnel of the technical department.

"Let's review the situation at the scene first." Qin Chuan's voice broke the silence, and his gaze fell on Li Ming. "Li Ming, you tell us the results of the scene investigation."

Li Ming nodded, opened the folder in his hand, and began to report in detail: "The scene was located in a residential building on Jianshe Road. The victim, Li Baotong, lived on the fifth floor. When we arrived at the scene, we found Li Baotong's body lying on the sidewalk below. Our initial assessment is that he jumped from the bedroom window. The on-site investigation revealed some obvious scratches and bloodstains on the windowsill. Preliminary tests showed that the bloodstains were not Li Baotong's, but rather a mixture of at least two different types of blood."

Qin Chuan frowned slightly, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes: "Two kinds of bloodstains? What does that mean?"

At the crime scene, Qin Chuan had already made a basic judgment: since no scratches or wounds were found on Li Baotong's body, the marks and bloodstains found on the windowsill were questionable. Qin Chuan had already arranged for the on-site investigators to carefully examine the bloodstains and the core sample, and now, sure enough, some clues have been discovered.

Moreover, the fact that two different types of blood were mixed together indicates that there must have been other people present at the scene, not just Li Baotong.

“We conducted DNA testing on the bloodstains and found that one of the bloodstains belonged to a person named Song Jiang,” Li Ming continued. “But after further investigation, we discovered that Song Jiang was just an ordinary farmer, and his identity information had been stolen.”

"If it was stolen, why was his blood found at the scene?"

A hush fell over the conference room; everyone was stunned by the discovery. Qin Chuan frowned, a thoughtful look in his eyes: "Any other findings?"

Although Song Jiang was just an ordinary farmer, the presence of his blood at the scene suggests that, regardless of whether someone impersonated him to swindle Li Baotong's money, Song Jiang appeared to have been present at the scene of Li Baotong's death.

“Not only that, we also found some hair on the windowsill that didn’t belong to Li Baotong.” Li Ming picked up a report and continued, “These hairs, after DNA testing, matched another DNA found in the bloodstains. This means that, besides Li Baotong and Song Jiang, there may be a third person at the scene.”

Qin Chuan's pupils contracted slightly as various possibilities began to surface in his mind. If there really was a third person at the scene, then Li Baotong's death was very likely not suicide, but a meticulously planned murder.

"Does the forensic team have any leads?"

"The forensic doctor conducted a preliminary examination of Li Baotong's body and found some suspicious traces." Li Ming's voice interrupted Qin Chuan's thoughts. "There are multiple signs of struggle on Li Baotong's body, which indicates that he may have experienced a fierce struggle before his death."

At the same time as the crime scene in Qin Chuan, they also found a blood-stained shirt. However, this shirt did not actually belong to Li Baotong; it was given to him by the suspect during the murder. Further confirmation is needed. Currently, relevant technical analysis is being conducted, hoping to extract some clues related to the suspect.

"How's the identity investigation going on Song Jiang's side?"

Qin Chuan frowned and then asked.

"Director Qin, we have conducted an in-depth investigation into Song Jiang's identity," a criminal investigation team member from the technical department interjected. "Song Jiang is an ordinary farmer. His identity information was stolen and used to open a bank account. The fraud gang received more than 300 million yuan from Li Baotong through this account."

"Song Jiang is right here in Dongchuan City. We've already contacted him through the police station, and he hasn't left his village at all. But we've made a significant discovery: three days ago, Song Jiang and his group collectively stepped in the village to collect blood. This blood sample was supposed to be for a medical checkup, but Song Jiang's sample is missing!"

Oh?

Song Jiang's identity was stolen, and a bank account was opened to receive the 300 million yuan that Li Baotong had been swindled out of. At the same time, his blood was also lost.

This is interesting.

Mixed bloodstains were found on the windowsill at the crime scene, one of which belonged to Song Jiang. However, the police station confirmed that Song Jiang had not left the countryside in recent days. So how did his blood end up on the windowsill? Was someone deliberately framing him?

"How are the results of the text message survey?"

"Director Qin, we have already investigated Li Baotong's communication records and bank accounts." The criminal investigation team member from the technical department picked up a report and continued, "We found that Li Baotong has made several large transfers in recent months, all of which pointed to Song Jiang's account. In addition, there are some suspicious call records on Li Baotong's phone, all of which show the same unknown number."

Qin Chuan then asked, "What were the results of the number investigation?"

“We discovered that the owner of this unknown number is a man named Zhang Wei. Zhang Wei is unemployed and has been frequently visiting high-end venues in recent months, and there has been a large amount of unexplained money flowing into his account.”

Last night, after investigating information about Zhang Wei, the police conducted a more in-depth investigation and discovered some suspicious circumstances. Zhang Wei originally had little money and was unemployed without a proper job, but recently he seemed to have suddenly become rich. He frequently visited high-end places and even kept several college students as mistresses. There were large amounts of money flowing in and out of his accounts.

"Okay, the next focus will be on investigating Zhang Wei."

The case analysis meeting ended quickly. Qin Chuan was very satisfied with the Criminal Investigation Division's investigation, scene analysis, forensic examination, and other aspects. It was quite remarkable to obtain so many clues in such a short time, especially considering the suspect was involved. After setting up Song Jiang as a cover, they were still able to follow the trail to Zhang Wei.
