Chapter 676 An unexpected discovery!
Chapter 676 An unexpected discovery!
Li Xianjin and Wang Bin watched Jia Dongming staring at the ground and walking towards the bushes not far away. The two looked at each other and then followed Jia Dongming towards the small pavilion.
Soon the three of them arrived in front of the almost abandoned pavilion. When Jia Dongming saw the traces of fighting on the ground, a gleam flashed in his eyes. He said to Li Xianjin and Wang Bin with confidence: "Captain Li! Wang Bin! If I'm not mistaken, this is the real crime scene."
Li Xianjin followed Jia Dongming with curiosity and came to the almost abandoned small pavilion in front of him. The traces left on the ground also caught Li Xianjin's attention.
When Li Xianjin heard what Jia Dongming said, he looked at the traces of the fight on the ground and the remaining bloodstains, which made him feel extremely ashamed. He said to Jia Dongming, "Captain Jia! We have always believed that the crime scene was over there in the canal, but we didn't expect that our direction of investigation was wrong from the beginning. If Director Zhong hadn't invited you here, we would definitely have investigated this case in the wrong direction."
After hearing what Li Xianjin said and seeing the ashamed expression on his face, Jia Dongming smiled and comforted him, "Captain Li! Although you mistook the second scene for the first scene at first, this mistake will only cause you to take more detours in the process of handling the case. I believe that you will eventually be able to find out the identity of the deceased and successfully solve the case."
As investigators of the Serious Crime Squad of the FT District Public Security Bureau, they were so careless when they went to the scene that they mistook the second scene for the first scene. This made Li Xianjin clearly aware of the shortcomings of their Serious Crime Squad in handling cases.
Facing Jia Dongming's consolation, Li Xianjin said with a face full of shame: "Captain Jia! We are the serious crime team. We should not make mistakes like this. When I return to the bureau, I will definitely call all the team members to hold a meeting on the mistakes made in this case. Only!"
"Captain Li! Let's talk about this matter later. The most urgent thing is to quickly inspect the scene and see if we can find some valuable clues there." When Jia Dongming heard Li Xianjin's self-criticism, he interrupted him before he could finish his words.
Li Xianjin, who was in the process of self-criticism, heard Jia Dongming's reminder and remembered the purpose of their coming here. He nodded quickly and replied: "Captain Jia! You are right. The most urgent task is to find clues and strive to bring the murderer to justice as soon as possible."
When Jia Dongming heard what Li Xianjin said, he smiled and nodded, then turned his attention to the crime scene and began to look for some valuable clues at the crime scene.
"Captain! Look, there is a briefcase here." More than ten minutes later, Wang Bin, who was looking for clues in the bushes, suddenly saw a briefcase covered by dry grass. An expression of surprise immediately appeared on his face, and he hurriedly shouted to Jia Dongming.
As for the briefcase Wang Bin mentioned, Jia Dongming had already discovered it through the Eagle Eye scan when he just arrived at the small pavilion. When he heard Wang Bin's shout, he pretended to be surprised, walked quickly to Wang Bin, and asked curiously: "Wang Bin! What briefcase is this?"
“Ding-dang! Ding-dang!”
The moment Wang Bin saw the briefcase, he immediately took out a pair of gloves from his pocket. After he put them on, he bent down and picked up the briefcase. He also weighed the briefcase. A crisp sound came from the briefcase, which made Wang Bin say to Jia Dongming, "Captain Jia! This is the briefcase. I can feel the weight and the sound coming from the bag. I guess there must be a lot of things in it."
When Jia Dongming saw the briefcase in Wang Bin's hand, he did not reach out to take it immediately. Instead, he took out gloves from his pocket. After he put on the gloves, he took the briefcase from Wang Bin and opened the zipper of the briefcase under everyone's curious gaze.
When he opened the zipper of the briefcase, the first thing that caught his eye was a certificate, a thick notebook, and some money and bills. When Jia Dongming saw the certificate, he immediately took it out of the briefcase and opened it in front of the two people. The first thing that caught his eye was a one-inch photo, and in the corner of the photo, there was an official seal.
"Hey! Isn't this the work ID of Stationmaster Liu from our FT District Grain Station? Could it be that he left this briefcase here? How is this possible?" When Li Xianjin saw the photo on the work ID, an expression of shock immediately appeared on his face, and he exclaimed.
When Jia Dongming heard Li Xianjin's exclamation, he glanced at the name Liu Pingjiang written on his work permit and asked Li Xianjin curiously, "Captain Li! Do you know this Liu Pingjiang?"
When Li Xianjin heard Jia Dongming's question, he immediately introduced him to Jia Dongming: "Captain Jia! This Liu Pingjiang is the deputy director of our FT District Grain Station. We have met several times because we are in the same district."
After hearing what Li Xianjin introduced, Jia Dongming first handed his work permit to Wang Bin, and then took out the notebook from his briefcase. As a result, several golden small yellow croakers appeared in everyone's sight.
"Why are there so many small yellow croakers in Stationmaster Liu's briefcase?" When Li Xianjin heard the sound coming from the briefcase, he looked into the briefcase. An expression of surprise appeared on his face again, and he couldn't help but exclaimed.
Jia Dongming looked at the notebook in his hand and the small yellow croaker hidden under the notebook. He vaguely felt that the cause of death of the unknown victim in this case should be related to this briefcase, and the murderer was most likely Liu Pingjiang.
However, Jia Dongming did not speak out his thoughts. Instead, he handed the briefcase to Wang Bin and then opened the notebook in his hand.
Jia Dongming only flipped to the first page. When he saw the contents of the notebook, he immediately closed it again. His expression immediately became very solemn. He said to Li Xianjin in a serious tone, "Captain Li! I originally thought this was just an ordinary homicide case, but I didn't expect that this case would actually involve another more serious case. Now we must rush back to the Municipal Bureau immediately. You should come with us."
When Li Xianjin saw the small yellow croaker in the briefcase, he was very surprised at first. When he recovered, he immediately realized that this case was no longer an ordinary case.
Seeing that Jia Dongming only glanced at the contents on the first page of the notebook and immediately closed the notebook again, Jia Dongming's reaction undoubtedly confirmed Li Xianjin's guess.
When faced with Jia Dongming's request, Li Xianjin naturally could not refuse, and replied seriously: "Captain Jia! I understand what you mean, don't worry, I will definitely cooperate with you in your work."
When Jia Dongming saw that Li Xianjin agreed to his request, he immediately stuffed the notebook in his hand into his pocket and said to Wang Bin in a serious tone: "Wang Bin! This briefcase is in your care. Let's go back to the bureau right now."
