I don't want to solve the case when I'm a little policeman.

Chapter 919 Asking for help
Zhang Qingmin, one of the accomplices in Aunt Mei's case, had been imprisoned three times for child trafficking. In 2023, he was executed by lethal injection by the Intermediate Court of a city in southern Guangdong Province.

The Provincial Department of Southern Guangdong Province teamed up with several cities to form a special task force on Zhang Qingmin. Two years later, they investigated the crimes he had committed while searching for the nine children he had abducted.

Until he was executed by lethal injection, the police in Southern Guangdong Province recovered six children, and two children have not yet been found.

The task force at that time wanted to follow the clues and find Aunt Mei from Zhang Qingmin. However, they teamed up with police from many places and used high-tech investigation methods, but could not find the real Aunt Mei.

The simulation portrait of Aunt Mei was made by Expert Lin, the chief simulation portraitist of Dongshan Province. He made the simulation portrait based on the description of an old man named Zhang who lived with Aunt Mei and his daughter.

After the portrait came out, only the old man surnamed Zhang and his daughter said they were very similar. However, the police used the portrait to conduct a comprehensive investigation, and the family members of the abducted children used the portrait to search for them.

The results were not optimistic. No one said they had seen the woman in the portrait.

The old man surnamed Zhang had lived with Aunt Mei, so there was no way he was wrong. He had no reason to worry about deceiving the police with his daughter, and Expert Lin's simulated portrait couldn't be wrong either...

Therefore, the police officers handling the case at the time came up with two conjectures. One was that Aunt Mei always wore a mask or disguised herself whenever she was not at home, including when she lived with Old Man Zhang.

Second, she later underwent plastic surgery.

But after Zhang Qingmin was arrested, he had seen the simulated portrait, but unfortunately he said he couldn't remember what Aunt Mei looked like.

"Team Leader Xu...Team Leader Xu..."

Xu Zheng was immersed in memories by Li Hui's suggestion. He had already read the case file of Zhang Qingmin in Nanyue Province four or five times. Unfortunately, he had no chance to see the prisoner who had been executed by lethal injection again.

"Oh, I suddenly remembered the Zhang Qingmin case handled by Southern Guangdong Province." Xu Zheng looked at the person who woke him up. It was the criminal investigation expert from the Criminal Investigation Corps of the Southern Guangdong Provincial Department who just followed Li Hui's suggestion.

The surname is Cao, Cao Hanshan, who is about forty years old. He is also an extremely experienced investigator and participated in the entire "Zhang Qingmin case" that year.

Xu Zheng was a little embarrassed and got distracted while others were speaking, "Old Cao, let me ask you a question. Please be honest.

I remember that Zhang Qingmin once said in the case file that he thought Aunt Mei was from Songze Town, Shengshan County, Southern Guangdong Province.

But at that time, you didn’t find any trace of Aunt Mei there, and no one knew who Aunt Mei was...

After all these years, do your local police still send people to conduct surveillance? "

For key suspects in extremely serious cases, the police station in the jurisdiction of their residence has the task of arresting them. The statute of limitations varies, but most of them are within three years and more than one year.

It has been 2023 years since Zhang Qingmin was executed in 15. For such a long time, the local police must not have been conducting arrests.

However, Cao Hanshan understood the meaning of Xu Zheng's words, which was to remind him to contact the Songze Town Police Station quickly and organize manpower to investigate the whole town.

See if Aunt Mei has been back now or in the past few years.

"Team Leader Xu, you are reminding us that after so many years, we have not paid attention to Aunt Mei for a long time. I will call back later."

At this time, someone asked Cao Hanshan again, "Old Cao, in addition to the two people Zhang Qingmin and Zhou Ping who were sentenced to death, I remember that there were two others who were sentenced to life.

One man was sentenced to ten years.

Are they still alive now? "

Cao Hanshan chuckled, showing his yellow teeth, "I have found out the current situation of the three people before.

The two people serving life sentences are still there and are being held in a prison in Yangcheng.

The person who was sentenced to ten years has been released and is now farming in their hometown.

I have contacted the local police station and asked them to check this man's current situation. He is 59 years old. He has been in prison for ten years and his wife and children are separated.

He was in poor health and old, so he farmed and raised chickens in the countryside of his hometown. It was said that he had rarely left the town except for medical treatment. "

At this time, Liu Bin asked: "Old Cao, didn't you interrogate them before? Can you tell me how much they know about Aunt Mei?"

When this topic was brought up, Cao Hanshan subconsciously reached for a cigarette in his pocket, but soon realized that this was not his original unit.

Seeing this, Xu Zheng raised his hand slightly and said, "Smoke as much as you want. Just make a judgment. I understand. I won't let you get intoxicated in the smoke, and you won't be able to burst out your inspiration."

"Ha ha…"

Everyone laughed kindly, and then one by one took out the cigarettes in their pockets, with various brands, and gave way to each other, or exchanged smokes with each other.

Many people even enthusiastically gave Xu Zheng cigarettes, but he did not smoke.

Previously, because he, the leader of the task force, did not smoke, a group of smokers could only endure it during the research and judgment. Now, as soon as they let go of their restraint, the entire conference room was filled with smoke in just a moment.

There were three other lesbians in the conference room. They were helpless about this. They knew they couldn't stop their colleagues from enjoying their hobbies, so they could only roll their eyes and glance at the smoker next to them who looked contented.

The second-hand smoke was even more pungent. Xu Zheng had no choice but to tell Zhu Qing, "Zhu Qing, please open the window. It's okay. We don't need to strictly enforce the confidentiality agreement in our conference room. I don't believe there are accomplices in Aunt Mei's case hidden in the provincial hall."

At this time, someone followed Xu Zheng's joke and shouted at the criminal investigation expert of Yunshan Provincial Department: "Haha, Lao Gu, admit it quickly, are you an accomplice in Aunt Mei's case?"

Expert Gu was just feeling comfortable while smoking a cigarette. Hearing this, he was stunned for a moment, and said with a helpless smile: "I think so, but it's a pity that I'm not the right age."

The main time of activity in Aunt Mei's case has not been determined, but based on the confessions of Zhang Qingmin and others, it can be judged that she committed the crime from about 2003 to 2017.

Twenty or thirty years have passed now. Look at the human trafficker Guo Yiming. He was in his prime when he participated in Aunt Mei's crime. But twenty years later, he has become a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties.

Maybe it was because Xu Zheng relaxed the ban on smoking, or maybe it was because of the few jokes just now. The atmosphere at the scene was much more relaxed than before. Everyone was joking about Lao Gu, "Haha... Lao Gu is feeling guilty. Hurry up and confess, have you had plastic surgery?" Or someone who pretended to be someone else and got into our midst?"

"I think all the brothers in Yunshan Province, except Lao Qiao, are somewhat suspicious. There is no other way. You are the most likely to sell the stolen goods in Aunt Mei's case.

The second is Guishan Province.”

At the beginning, Zhang Qingmin and Zhou Zhouping mostly abducted children from Southern Guangdong Province and sold them to Yunshan and Guishan Provinces through Aunt Mei.

Therefore, Zhang Qingmin, Zhou Zhouping and their accomplices, a total of five people, all firmly believed that Aunt Mei existed.

What's puzzling is that no matter how hard the police checked, they couldn't find out whether she existed. Seeing that their jokes were getting more outrageous, Xu Zheng patted the table and said, "Okay, let's get down to business.

After talking for a long time, no one came up with a feasible solution. Why, you were asked to write two thousand words of investigation ideas, but you didn’t even start writing? "

As soon as this investigation idea was mentioned, the expressions on everyone's faces became visibly uncomfortable, the smoke in their noses became thicker and thicker, and some people's eyes turned red.

Xu Zheng was really afraid that the smoke in his lungs would come out of his eyeballs, "Since no one has said anything, well, now that the study and judgment is over, I will give you half a day and one more night.

At eight o'clock tomorrow morning, Zhuqing will put together their investigation ideas, and I will take a look at them. "

After saying this, he stood up and walked out of the conference room immediately without waiting for anyone's reaction. The case was now stuck at a bottleneck, or it could be said that it never got to the point in the first place.

Therefore, if we continue to study and judge, we cannot waste everyone's time and suffer in their second-hand smoke.

Zhu Qing reacted quickly and immediately followed Xu Zheng out of the conference room, out of the smoke. She breathed a sigh of relief and trotted to keep up with Xu Zheng.

“Director, are you going back to the hotel or to the office next?
Yunshan Province has arranged an office for you. I have visited it and it has furniture and various facilities. "

Xu Zheng waved his hand, "Forget it, I want to go out for a walk. Check out what interesting scenery there is in Spring City. It's not far from here. Let's take a break."

This is the advantage of being a leader. There is no need to do everything personally. Once the tasks are handed down, someone will naturally work hard. If he still analyzes the case file one by one like before, that is not what a leader should do.

Zhu Qing seemed to have a strategy already, so he immediately took out his mobile phone and said with great joy, "Then let's go to Dianchi Lake, which is not far from us. There are seagulls, cableways, and cruise ships there.

Looking at the entire Dianchi Lake from a high place, you can have a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery, which will make people feel better and relax. "

"You, I see you spend all your time on travel guides." Xu Zheng glared at her, "Go and invite Tao Luna over and ask her to be your tour guide.

If she doesn't have time, forget it. "

Tao Luna is a female criminal investigation expert from the Yunshan Provincial Department. She is less than forty years old. She looks like a straightforward and capable strong woman. She loves to smile, and her two dimples are very obvious when she smiles.

Xu Zheng did not seek her out as a tour guide because of her beauty. The main reason was that this woman was from a minority group, the Pumi, a minority with only over 40,000 people.

The fact that she was able to stand out from the hundreds of thousands of police officers in Yunshan Province shows that she has extraordinary abilities, but what Xu Zheng values ​​​​more is her resume.

This woman has not been working in the provincial department. On the contrary, she has worked her way up from the township police station through performance.

And the goal is very pure. He only works in criminal investigation, economic investigation, cyber police and other police types. He has never done this before, and his work location spans many cities and counties in Yunshan Province.

It can be said that the resume covers half of Yunshan Province.

This is what Xu Zheng values ​​​​about her. Grassroots workers know more about what is going on in Yunshan Province. The more places they work, the more they know.

Before long, Zhuqing invited Tao Luna over.

"Team Leader Xu, how come you feel like visiting Dianchi Lake? This is not like you. Rumor has it that you are a super workaholic." As soon as they met, Tao Luna stretched out her hand to Xu Zheng and joked.

Xu Zheng stretched out his hand to shake her hand. It loosened at the touch, but he also found a lot of calluses on her palm, especially the hard one on the tiger's mouth, which must have been caused by frequent practice of marksmanship.

"It's a waste of time to persist in work without a clue. Why not relax while you have time."

"Then I will take advantage of the leadership and give myself a holiday." The smile on Tao Luna's face remained unchanged, but a trace of doubt flashed in her heart. She had not found any calluses from Xu Zheng's palm just now.

It can't be said to be smooth and delicate, but it definitely doesn't look like the hand of a person who often holds a gun.

You must know that there are rumors within the system that Xu Zheng is a sharpshooter, and so-called sharpshooters are fed by bullets. If they practice a lot, they will naturally have thick calluses on their hands.

Xu Zheng couldn't help but guess that the seemingly easy-to-talk woman in front of him was already secretly wondering whether he was really capable. Looking at the time, it was just 2:30 in the afternoon, "Sister Tao, does she have a car? Can we take your car there?"

"It's definitely okay. Just wait a moment and I'll drive."

After all, this was a private matter, and none of them wanted to travel by bus. Soon, the three of them arrived at Dianchi Lake and took the ropeway directly to a higher place.

Looking at the beautiful scenery of Dianchi Lake, Xu Zheng felt that his mind suddenly opened up, and the gloomy energy he had accumulated for many days disappeared. If there weren't so many tourists here, he would have wanted to roar loudly.

Sure enough, beautiful scenery can make people forget their worries and make people want to get rid of the shackles of the world involuntarily.

Tao Luna watched Xu Zheng relax, as if he really came to see the scenery. She tentatively said: "Team Leader Xu, don't look at the pleasant scenery of Dianchi Lake, but there have been many murders here, including love killings, suicides, booby traps... There are also various forced cases, and there are still many unsolved cases.”

As soon as the woman opened her mouth, Xu Zheng knew something was wrong, but he invited her here, so he had to cooperate with her, "Oh, it seems that Sister Tao has handled cases here."

As long as there are tourist areas with water and scenery, I can't say that there have been cases in all tourist areas, but there are indeed many scenic spots where cases have continued.

Tao Luna stopped beating around the bush and took out her cell phone to find a surveillance video and handed it to Xu Zheng, "I have a case that happened here.

I also asked team leader Xu to give me some guidance. "

Xu Zheng pretended to be interested, "Then let me give it a try, but let's agree first. After all, we are out to play. I will take a brief look first. If you don't see it, Sister Tao, don't laugh at me."

He took Tao Luna's cell phone. There was not only one surveillance video on it, but a total of 32 cameras.

These are all cameras on the Dianchi Lake Ring Road. The contents of the videos are very uniform. They are all pedestrians passing by on this road.

Because vehicular traffic is prohibited, the cameras cannot capture cars.

"Team Leader Xu, these camera surveillance videos involve a robbery and murder case. The suspect did not flee Dianchi Lake directly from the crime scene.

Instead, he took the road around the lake and hid in Dianchi Lake.

The difficulty we have now is that we don't know exactly which camera position the suspect escaped from. "

Xu Zheng nodded to express his understanding. There were 32 cameras surrounding Dianchi Lake, which meant that he had to find the suspect's escape direction in these surveillance videos.

This gives the Yunshan Provincial Police a direction for investigation and allows them to focus their investigation along the direction in which the suspect fled.
