Chapter 677 A shocking case!

"Comrade Dongming! Didn't you go to the Fengtai Branch to assist in solving the case of the unidentified male corpse? Why are you back so soon? Has the case been solved?" At around eleven o'clock in the morning, Jia Dongming brought Wang Bin and Li Xianjin to the office of Captain Zhang Zhitao. When Zhang Zhitao saw Jia Dongming and others walking into the office from outside, a puzzled expression appeared on his face, and he asked Jia Dongming curiously.

When Jia Dongming heard Zhang Zhitao's question and thought of the contents recorded in his notebook, he reported to Zhang Zhitao in a serious manner: "Captain! After I arrived at the Fengtai Branch, I went to the scene and found a new clue. If this clue is true, this case is not a simple murder case, but a murder case involving corruption."

Zhang Zhitao frowned when he heard Jia Dongming's report. He asked Jia Dongming with a serious expression, "Comrade Dongming! You said that the case of the unidentified male corpse in the FT area was probably a serious corruption murder case? Are you sure it's true?"

When Jia Dongming heard Zhang Zhitao's question and thought of their hairstyles at the scene, he immediately put his briefcase in front of Zhang Zhitao's desk and reported to him in a serious tone, "Captain! The situation is like this. After we arrived at the Fengtai Branch, we went to the crime scene accompanied by Comrade Li Xianjin, the captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade and the Serious Crime Brigade of the Branch. From the traces left on the lawn, we suspect that the traces left at the scene are likely to be a deliberately fake crime scene by the murderer in order to disrupt our investigation direction."

"So based on this discovery, we conducted a secondary investigation of the scene, and finally based on some footprints and clues left at the scene, we found that an abandoned small pavilion about 300 to 400 meters away from the scene was the real first scene."

"So we started searching the surrounding area with the small pavilion as the center, and finally found the briefcase in a very hidden bush. In it, there was a work permit, a notebook, and seven small yellow croakers."

"The owner of the work permit is Liu Jiangping, deputy director of the FT District Grain Station, and the notebook records Liu Jiangping's account book of using his position to resell grain and exchange old grain for new grain."

"Combined with the traces of fighting left at the scene, I initially have two suspicions. The first suspicion is that the deceased was an accomplice of Liu Jiangping. Because of the uneven distribution of the spoils, he tried to use the evidence to blackmail Liu Jiangping, but was silenced by Liu Jiangping."

"Another possibility is that the deceased was a thief who stole Liu Jiangping's briefcase by chance and found the account book and small yellow croaker inside. The thief was not satisfied with the money in the briefcase and tried to use the account book to blackmail Liu Jiangping. In the end, Liu Jiangping killed him because they failed to reach an agreement."

After hearing Jia Dongming's report, Zhang Zhitao finally understood why Jia Dongming brought Li Xianjin and Wang Bin with him when he came to report on his work.

Zhang Zhitao picked up the briefcase that Jia Dongming had placed on his desk, took out his work ID from it, opened it and took a look. After confirming the authenticity of the work ID, he took out the account book.

Zhang Zhitao opened the account book. When he saw the contents on the first page, he quickly closed the book like Jia Dongming did. He said to Jia Dongming in a serious tone, "Comrade Dongming! The three of you wait in my office for a while. I'll go to the director's office and be back soon."

Zhang Bin could never have imagined that an ordinary homicide would turn into a corruption and murder case. Thinking of the case analysis that Jia Dongming had just reported to Zhang Zhitao, Zhang Bin suddenly became excited.

After watching Zhang Zhitao walk out of the office, thinking about the nature of this case, Zhang Bin said to Jia Dongming excitedly: "Captain! That Liu Jiangping is only a deputy station chief. With his ability alone, there is no way he could replace the new grain in the granary with old grain without anyone noticing, and then make personal profits from it."

"If the higher-ups open an investigation into this case, I think it will definitely be a shocking case. I just don't know if we will have the opportunity to participate in the investigation of this case."

Before at the small pavilion, Li Xianjin did not see the contents of the account book, but he saw the seven small yellow croakers in the briefcase clearly. At that time, Li Xianjin's first thought was that these small yellow croakers must be the stolen money embezzled by Liu Jiangping.

At first, Jia Dongming asked Li Xianjin to come with him to the Municipal Bureau. Li Xianjin thought that this case involved other departments, so Jia Dongming asked him to go to the Municipal Bureau. It was not until he heard what Jia Dongming reported to Zhang Zhitao that he realized that this case was no longer an ordinary homicide. When Li Xianjin heard Zhang Bin's words and saw the other party's excited expression, thinking about the sensation that would be caused once the investigation of this case began, Li Xianjin could not help but pour cold water on Zhang Bin and said, "If this is just an ordinary homicide, it will definitely be investigated by our serious crime team, but now the nature of this case has changed. If the superior becomes an investigation team, it will also draw elite soldiers from various departments, and it will not be our turn, so I advise you not to have such fantasies."

Zhang Bin, who was in a high mood, heard the cold water poured by Li Xianjin, and the flame of hope in his heart was instantly extinguished. He replied in agreement: "Captain Li! You are right. This case is no longer an ordinary criminal case. It also involves corruption. If the superiors set up a special task force, they will probably draw elite troops from various departments. It is indeed not our turn to intervene."

After hearing Zhang Bin's answer, Li Xianjin looked at Jia Dongming, who had been sitting in front of the sofa in silence, and asked him curiously, "Captain Jia! To what extent do you think this case will be investigated?"

Although Jia Dongming only looked at the first page of the account book, he could see the contents of the account book clearly through his Eagle Eye skill. It was for this reason that he brought Zhang Bin and Li Xianjin to Zhang Zhitao's office to keep it confidential.

After hearing Li Xianjin's question, Jia Dongming pondered for a moment and said to Li Xianjin in a serious tone, "Captain Li! No matter what level this case will be investigated to, it has nothing to do with us. Let's just wait here for Captain Zhang to come back and see what the superiors are planning."

When Li Xianjin heard Jia Dongming's answer and thought about the change in the nature of the case, he couldn't help but sigh, "Captain Jia! If you hadn't come to our branch to guide our work this time, we probably would never have thought that the small pavilion was the first crime scene, let alone found the briefcase hidden in the bushes."

"The investigation process of this case is undoubtedly a heavy lesson for me. I must learn from this lesson and never make similar mistakes again."

Hearing Li Xianjin's sigh, Jia Dongming thought about the criminal investigation technology of that era and replied modestly, "Captain Li! This matter is not your fault. After all, many of our comrades have just transferred from the army to the local area, and their criminal investigation capabilities are still in the exploratory stage. It is inevitable that some negligence will occur during the case handling process."

When Zhang Bin heard Li Xianjin's compliments to Jia Dongming, he thought of the case Jia Dongming had just investigated two days ago, and said to Li Xianjin with admiration, "Captain Li! If he is second to none in terms of our captain's ability in handling cases, I don't think anyone would dare to claim to be first."

"Take the case we just solved a few days ago. Almost everyone believed that Guo Jianbin had absconded with the money. Without any clues, it was almost impossible for us to arrest him and recover the silk factory's wages. As a result, our team leader solved the case in just half a day and successfully recovered the silk factory's wages."

When Jia Dongming heard Zhang Bin's words and saw the other party's admiring expression, he immediately reminded Zhang Bin: "Zhang Bin! The reason why I was able to solve that case was entirely due to chance, and in our municipal bureau, there are many comrades who are better at criminal investigation than me, so you must never say similar things in the future."

After the case of the silk factory's salary being embezzled was solved, the entire investigation process of the case was spread throughout the municipal bureau from the mouths of the people involved in the investigation, and then to each branch. For many investigators, the investigation process of this case can definitely be described as educational.

Yesterday, after Li Xianjin learned about the investigation process of this case, he simulated in his mind, if he was responsible for investigating this case, where should he start? And how should he investigate this case? As a result, Li Xianjin found that if he was responsible for investigating this case, he would never associate the body dismemberment case of the garbage disposal plant with the salary case of the silk factory, let alone solve the case in half a day.

Li Xianjin, who wanted to ask Jia Dongming for advice, heard Zhang Bin mention this case and asked Jia Dongming humbly, "Captain Jia! I heard that the murderer Shen Zhongming made a detailed plan to steal the silk factory's salary and even found a scapegoat. When you were investigating this case, what clues did you use to combine the two cases into one and suspect Shen Zhongming?"

When Jia Dongming heard Li Xianjin asking about the silk factory salary case and saw the other party's humble expression, he introduced in a serious manner: "Captain Li! The most crucial clue in this case is actually the garbage disposal plant where Shen Zhongming dumped the body parts. Because the people who usually go there are garbage cleaners and some children from the neighborhood. When we were tracking down Wang Mazi's whereabouts, we found that Shen Zhongming was a garbage collector. This finally made me think of the headless body in the garbage disposal plant."
