Chapter 370 Serial thefts!
Chapter 370 Serial thefts!
When Jia Dongming heard what Li Xidong had said, a serious expression immediately appeared on his face. He asked Li Xidong in a serious tone, "Director Li! When did these cases happen? Where do the people whose houses were robbed live?"
Li Xidong heard Jia Dongming's question and introduced with a serious face: "Xiao Jia! The first theft happened in Dongzhimen. The resident who was robbed was a deputy director of a department store. In addition to the money stolen from his home, several cartons of cigarettes were also stolen."
"After receiving the report, the Dongzhimen police station immediately investigated the crime scene, but did not find any valuable clues. Three days later, another family in Dongzhimen was also robbed. The man of that family worked at a grain station, and more than 300 yuan was stolen from his home, along with a large number of bills."
"The two consecutive thefts made the Dongzhimen police station pay great attention to them. They conducted a very strict investigation in the area under their jurisdiction and even increased patrols at night. As a result, another theft occurred in Di'anmen. The resident who was robbed was the deputy director of the supply and marketing cooperative."
"After receiving the alarm, Luoshahai Police Station immediately sent people to the scene, but they also did not find any valuable clues. As a result, Jingshan Police Station also received a report last night that a resident's home in its jurisdiction was robbed. The thief also left a provocative note at the scene, which was obviously a provocation to our Dongcheng Branch."
"Because of this series of thefts, the people in our Dongcheng District are in a panic. Many people dare not store valuables and cash at home. Some families even leave one person at home to guard against theft. The Municipal Bureau called me this morning and asked our Dongcheng Branch to solve the case within three days."
Jia Dongming frowned when he heard what Li Xidong said. He said to Li Xidong with a serious expression, "Director Li! From what you just said, we can conclude that this thief specializes in stealing from cadres' homes. However, there is no pattern to the places where he commits crimes, which makes us a little hard to guard against. So it is obviously not an easy task to solve the case within three days."
As the director of the Dongcheng Branch, Li Xidong knew clearly that it was not easy to solve this series of theft cases within three days. Li Xidong was not dissatisfied with Jia Dongming's answer. He said to Jia Dongming in a very serious tone: "Xiao Jia! I know that it is indeed very difficult for you, the Serious Crime Squad, to solve this theft case within three days, but this is an order issued by the Municipal Bureau. Even if it is difficult, you must go all out."
When Jia Dongming heard Li Xidong's instructions, he showed a helpless expression on his face and said to Li Xidong: "Director Li! Our serious crime team will definitely go all out to solve this theft case as soon as possible."
When Li Xidong heard Jia Dongming's promise, a satisfied smile appeared on his face. He said to Jia Dongming in a very cordial tone: "Xiao Jia! Then I will wait for good news from your serious crime squad."
"Brother Dongming! What happened?" Qin Huairu saw a solemn expression on Jia Dongming's face after he answered the phone, and asked Jia Dongming with concern.
When Jia Dongming heard Qin Huairu's question, he immediately put away the solemnity on his face, revealed a warm smile, and said to Qin Huairu with a smile: "Huairu! It's just some work matters, it's not a big deal."
Having said this, Jia Dongming immediately changed the subject and said to Qin Huairu, "Huairu! I have already asked Li Huaide for your brother's work quota. This weekend, you go back to Qinjia Village and tell your parents about the work quota. As for their plan to let your brother work in the city, let your parents figure it out. Don't get involved."
Qin Huairu was a smart woman. When she heard Jia Dongming's instructions, she immediately understood what he meant. She nodded and replied, "Brother Dongming! I will listen to you."
After hearing what Qin Huairu said, Jia Dongming raised his wrist to check the time and said to Qin Huairu, "Huairu! Go back to work first. I have to go to the branch. If you have anything to say, wait until I get home in the evening." Jia Dongming rode his bicycle and quickly arrived at the branch. When he walked into the serious crime brigade and saw the police officer on duty in the brigade, he immediately asked him, "Yuan Yilong! Has the criminal investigation brigade sent the files of the serial theft case?"
When Yuan Yilong heard Jia Dongming asking about the files of the serial theft case, he immediately reported, "Deputy Captain! The files have been sent to your office."
After hearing Yuan Yillong’s report, Jia Dongming nodded with satisfaction and then walked towards his office.
When he arrived at his office, Jia Dongming saw the file on the desk. He put the briefcase in his hand on the desk, then picked up the file and began to read it carefully.
From the contents recorded in the files, Jia Dongming knew clearly that this was a very skilled thief, and the targets of his thefts were all families with jobs, and some were cadres' families. This showed that this thief was definitely a bold and careful person.
After Jia Dongming finished reading all four files carefully, he picked up the note left by the murderer. Jia Dongming immediately smelled a faint smell of tobacco from the note. Jia Dongming saw the crooked and provocative message on the note, and finally understood why the Municipal Bureau issued an order to solve the case within three days.
After Jia Dongming put away the files, he picked up his briefcase, walked out of the office quickly, came to the office of the Serious Crime Squad, and shouted to Yuan Yilong who was on duty: "Yuan Yilong! Come with me to the house where the robbery happened yesterday. Let's go to the scene and take a look."
When Yuan Yillong heard Jia Dongming's instructions, he immediately picked up the belt on the desk and followed Jia Dongming out of the office.
The two men rode their broken tricycle and soon arrived at the door of the fourth house on Jingshan Street that had been robbed.
Jia Dongming looked at the small courtyard in front of him and was about to knock on the door when it suddenly opened. A middle-aged woman walked out of the courtyard. When she saw Jia Dongming and Yuan Yilong standing at the door, she immediately asked them impatiently, "Comrade Public Security! Has the thief who stole from our house been caught by you?"
When Jia Dongming heard the middle-aged woman's question and thought of the deadline for solving the case given by his superiors, he immediately introduced himself to the middle-aged woman: "Auntie! My name is Jia Dongming, and I am the deputy chief of the Criminal Investigation Brigade of the Dongcheng District Public Security Bureau. This is my colleague Yuan Yilong. The main reason we came here this time is to re-investigate the theft scene and then find you to learn more about the specific circumstances of the theft."
