Chapter 1159 Arrest
It was only noon when the trio rushed to the crime scene in the county town below Chunlin at lightning speed.

Without even taking a break to eat, he went straight to the crime scene.

The scene was very lively at the moment. The victims' families were crying not far away, and the police were helplessly trying to comfort them.

On the other side, there were busy comrades investigating the scene.

I got to know the person in charge of the site through business exchanging compliments. To be honest, it can't be considered as bragging, after all, Wang Yan is really awesome.

In the past, when he was a train police officer catching thieves on the train, he had already made a great name for himself in the Northeast. Now he led a team to clear the backlog of cases in Liaoning Province, and solved hundreds of cases in a year. His name spread to Beijing, and he was naturally very famous in the Northeast.

After this, the on-site personnel introduced the situation.

"The deceased, Liu Guifen, 32 years old, a printing factory worker, disappeared on her way home last night. Her family called the police early this morning, and someone said they saw someone digging a pit to bury the body here last night. The forensic doctor said that Liu Guifen was hit hard on the back of her head and had two knife wounds in her chest and abdomen, and eventually died of blood loss. A large amount of blood was found at the scene, and according to the forensic doctor's judgment, Liu Guifen was alive at the time.

She watched the murderer dig a pit, was thrown into the pit by the murderer, and then bled to death. All her belongings were taken away, and there were no signs of violation. The murderer was cruel, mentally abnormal, and extremely evil. Just as you have judged, he killed for the sake of killing.

He hadn't dug very deep yet, so he left his hand out, revealing his little finger. Fortunately, you had informed us of the situation long before and sent us photos. As soon as we confirmed that it was done by one person, we mobilized police forces to block the county, guard all exits, and conduct searches."

I had already re-photographed Ding Guian's photos, developed a bunch of them, and sent them to various units, and they were finally used this time.

"Good! Very powerful!" Wang Xin laughed, "If he gets away, who knows how many people will be harmed. Let's see where he runs this time."

"It's thanks to you that you have done your job well and worked tirelessly for such a long time and have a lot of information." The on-site leader was very polite and gave him face.

Ma Kui looked at Wang Yan and said, "The town is surrounded now, are you still looking for it?"

"Since we are here, let's look for him. Firstly, we need to save as much police force as possible. It's very cold, and the comrades are freezing outside, and they may be misunderstood by the people who don't know the truth. Also, it's a precautionary measure. Ding Guian is very brave, and with such a big commotion, he might be able to escape. After all, not every comrade has a photo, so there are bound to be weaknesses."

"I don't quite understand. How do we find it?" The on-site leader was confused.

"Following the footprints. It rained a bit yesterday, so the ground is muddy and the footprints are deep. I'll try to find the person by following the footprints. Even if I can't find the person, I'll try to find the general area. After all, this town is not big, but it's not small either."

After explaining this, Wang Yan lowered his head and began to look at the footprints. After a simple identification, he walked through the almost trampled outer land, found more footprints further out, and continued tracking.

The damage to footprints is indeed serious. After all, people have started their work and life for the day, and they are very active. It is not easy to track footprints. Sometimes, you lose the trace completely while chasing them, and you can only go around in circles, expand the scope little by little, and continue to look for footprints.

Of course, he is not always so blind. After all, Wang Yan can also analyze psychology.

If they were out at night to commit crimes, or if they were on the run, they could not bring along a knife, but a pickaxe for digging holes. So the whereabouts of the tools was a problem.

The police searched the surrounding area for a whole morning, but could not find the pickaxe. So the most likely possibility is that it was returned, which is indeed ironic, but it is true.

Because Wang Yan really found footprints in a nearby house with a low wall and no dogs nearby...

"That's pretty damn particular."

This is what Wang Xin said, and it is also the collective thought of his comrades. It feels a bit absurd.

After finding the footprints coming and going, Wang Yan analyzed them and continued to search along the footprints. He finally found a bridge hole, where there was a damp quilt, food residue, an empty Erguotou bottle, and many scattered cigarette butts.

Wang Xin looked at the mud marks on the tree, then climbed up the tree, put his hands on the tree, and looked around. He saw the figures busy moving back and forth at the crime scene in the distance.

He climbed down the tree with ease: "Wang Yan, you are right, he really stayed here to watch the scene. He is really brave."

The on-site leader who had been following Wang Yan couldn't help but frowned. He said, "So it seems that he probably didn't return to the town? Then our encirclement was in vain?"

Ma Kui shook his head. “Not necessarily. It was morning when you came here. It took more than two hours from the decision to seal off to the time when the personnel were in place. Ding Guian didn’t sleep much all night and drank a pound of wine. He needs to rest now. He is probably still in town.”

"Let's keep chasing."

Wang Yan agreed with Lao Ma's words and continued to follow the footprints.

But contrary to expectations, the footprints eventually disappeared on the road.

"He got on the cart." Wang Yan said, "Donkey cart! Heading south, that's Chunlin! Judging from the level of donkey dung, it must have been five hours by now. It's about the time you guys came here, around nine in the morning."

"It's less than ten kilometers from here to Chunlin. The road is flat here, and the donkey can trot there in an hour. We just met our comrades who came over."

The on-site leader was experienced. Without saying anything, he turned around and began to arrange the work. "Li Zi, go and quickly arrange for people to ask around, who drove to Chunlin, including those on the road, where they went and what they were doing. Hurry up."

"Then do we continue the investigation?" The man called Li Zi did not move, but asked this question.

Li Zi, most likely his last name is Li, which is the name a leader uses to address his subordinates, roughly equivalent to Xiao Li.

The on-site leader did not answer, but looked at Wang Yan. Following his gaze, everyone looked at Wang Yan.

Wang Yan smiled, nodded to Li Zi, and pointed at him: "You can become a high official."

Then he looked at the on-site leader and said, "Let me check nearby to see if they really took the donkey cart and went to Chunlin."

Then he kept circling around, expanding the scope to check for footprints.

After all this, he nodded and said, "Let's withdraw, and focus on checking this road. Ding Guian didn't get enough rest in the northern area of ​​Chunlin, and I don't know where he is sleeping at this time. In addition, when comrades evacuate, it's best to take another road and don't destroy the traces on this road again. I want to check along the way to prevent Ding Guian from getting off the car halfway."

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away." The on-site leader readily agreed.

Wang Yan shook his head and smiled, without saying anything more, and continued to stroll along the south side of the road towards Chunlin.

I watched Wang Yan leading the way, and then I looked at the dozen or so policemen following not far behind, constantly checking both sides of the road. Further behind, there were several cars and motorcycles, which were moving and stopping.

Wang Xin put his hands in his sleeves, sniffed and said, "Old Ma, there are a lot of cunning people here. If Ding Guian runs away, the trouble will fall on us."

"What does it have to do with you? How old are you?" Old Ma glanced at him. "He is the leader, an expert in footprint identification. He made the decision. People followed his advice. If something goes wrong, he will be held responsible. What does it have to do with us?"

"Tsk, look at you, we are together, aren't we? He is also your son-in-law." "Let's talk about something."

Wang Yan in front said without turning his head: "It's no big deal. If we seal off the town with all our heart and find nothing after all the hard work, the superiors will blame us on one hand, but the brothers who worked so hard will not feel good.

Now listen to me, the initiative of the case is handed over to me, and the comrades here cooperate with the action, then everything is my problem. What can their leaders do to me? Can our leaders still point at me and scold me?

Of course, if nothing is found, there must be something to say about mobilizing so many troops. But it is not a big deal for them, and it is not a big deal for us either. So we have to handle this matter, for your benefit, for my benefit, and for everyone else. Okay, stop talking about it, as if we have something wrong with us. "

Will there be any problems?
Wang Yan thinks not. He doesn't think Ding Guian has such strong vigilance and ability.

A thief and robber, who has no military experience, knows how to hide himself out of instinct, and he is able to hide himself, not because he is strong enough. It is because of the large number of people, the vast area, the relatively weak criminal investigation technology of the police, the lack of talent, and the lack of rich means that he was able to get away with it.

Now someone named Wang is chasing him and has already caught him. Moreover, he has more manpower and can check everywhere. Can Ding Guian still survive?

As expected, when Wang Yan and others were almost at the outskirts of Chunlin, a jeep drove over quickly from a distance and stopped in front of them.

The man called Li Zi almost jumped out of the passenger seat and rushed to Wang Yan in one step. He shouted, "Captain Wang! You are amazing! We caught him! He is in a guesthouse. When we went over, he was sleeping soundly, snoring loudly.

I pushed him down on the bed and gave him two big slaps. After he woke up, he stopped struggling and admitted that he was the one who killed the person.

"Okay, let's go quickly, we want to participate in the interrogation." Lao Ma took over the conversation and spoke directly.

Wang Yan coughed and said, "Old Ma, please be aware of your identity."

"Yes, he is the leader. You spoke before the leader gave any words?" Wang Xin joined in.

"Get out of here! Leave now."

"I have repeatedly stressed that you should not bring personal relationships into work..."

"Are you done yet?" Old Ma glared.

Wang Yan laughed out loud, and the atmosphere suddenly became relaxed. Before, everyone had to speak in a low voice, but now everyone was laughing.

Immediately, everyone got in their cars and headed to the Chunlin Public Security Bureau, where they were going to interrogate Ding Guian...

During the interrogation, Ding Guian confessed everything and said everything he knew.

Just as it was played in the original play, and just as Wang Yan had judged before. Ding Guian accidentally killed someone during the robbery, and then felt the excitement and pleasure of killing. As for deliberately leaving a signature contemptuous gesture, it was purely to see if the police could catch him.

Wang Yan did not take credit for the case. He kept the files previously collected and compiled by Ma Kui and Wang Xin and handed them over to the police in Chunlin to complete the chain of evidence and close the case.

Of course, even if they don't take credit, the contributions of Wang Yan's trio cannot be erased. In the early stages of the case, Ma Kui and Wang Xin were the ones running back and forth, constantly investigating. After that, Wang Yan systematically analyzed the case, confirmed that Ding Guian faked his death and was actually the murderer, and spread the word in advance to police units across Northeast China to assist in the investigation, and finally tracked down the murderer through footprint identification.

These are all contributions that cannot be erased. Of course, the comrades who provided help during the process also have the same merits.

The trio did not stay long. After learning the situation, they stayed for a day and then drove back to Ningyang to continue their work and life.

In a blink of an eye, autumn goes to the east and snow falls in the vast land.

Around noon that day, Wang Xin received a phone call. He laughed and said to Wang Yan, "You've heard the call. Let's go to a restaurant. I'll treat you."

"Who is it?" Wang Yan had some guesses, but still asked.

"It's the one I mentioned to you before, the one who saved me and Lao Ma in Harbin. His name is Jia Jinlong. I left him my address at the time, thinking that if anything happens in the future, I can let him know. After all, he is my savior. Without him, Lao Ma and I would be dead or disabled. Now he is also doing business, traveling all over the country. It just so happens that he has some business in Ningyang this time, so he thought of coming to see us and get to know us. He won't come during the Chinese New Year."

Wang Xin said, "In the state-owned restaurant, let Lao Zhou cook. Do you want to go?"

"Who wouldn't want to eat the free lunch? I'll spend all your pocket money on it." Wang Yan simply put down the pen he was using to write his professional book, stood up and put on his coat, "Let's go, Lao Ma."

Lao Ma stood up with a smile and put on his coat as well. The three of them went out chatting and laughing, crunching on the unmelted snow, and went to the state-owned restaurant near the train station.

The Lao Zhou that Wang Xin mentioned is the master chef here, and his cooking is very delicious. According to Wang Yan's evaluation, he has reached the middle level of Level 4, which is already very good. Many people go to Lao Zhou to ask for help when they have wedding ceremonies or wedding banquets.

When the three of them came in, they were stamping their feet at the door when they heard a greeting from the corner: "Uncle Ma, Wang Xin."

As he spoke, the man stood up and walked over.

"What's the point of welcoming someone in just two steps?" Old Ma smiled and shook his head, then pointed at the man and said to Wang Yan, "Let me introduce you. This is Jia Jinlong, Xiao Jia, and this is..."

"I know you, Officer Wang Yan." Jia Jinlong quickly grabbed Wang Yan's hands with both hands, holding them with moderate strength. "In fact, I've seen you guys catch thieves on the train before. I always take the Ningyang-Harbin line. Officer Wang is really a good policeman. He makes us feel safe and comfortable while riding."

"It's what I should do, to serve the people."

"Good, the people's police serve the people, that's good." Jia Jinlong was excited and respect was written all over his face.

Wang Yan nodded with a smile: "Sit down and talk."

"Yes, yes, yes, look at me, hurry up and sit down." Jia Jinlong greeted them, and diligently served cigarettes and poured tea for everyone, "Oh, I see Officer Wang, and I also see my good friend whom I haven't seen for a long time. I have to drink something today. Oh, look at my head..."

He leaned forward and whispered, "Is it okay to have a drink at noon?"

"It's not a violation if he treats us, but it is if you do." Wang Yan raised his head at Wang Xin.

Wang Xin smiled and said, "No problem. Let me make it clear. I'll treat you. I know you're richer than us, but since you're in our territory, you should save some money."

"If you ask me to pay, I'll be angry with you." Jia Jinlong responded with a smile.

As they chatted back and forth, reminiscing about past stories of saving people and being saved, the four of them laughed and had a good time...

I would like to express my daily gratitude to the good brothers who vote monthly, recommend and read quietly for their strong support!
