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

Chapter 858 Late stage gastric cancer
On the 2026th day of the first lunar month in , just after the Lantern Festival, the capital has returned to its usual bustle, bustling with traffic and pedestrians, and bustling with activity.

In a metropolis with a population of over 20 million, the average number of deaths every day is around three to four hundred, so if someone dies somewhere, the impact will not be very large.

At around three o'clock in the morning that day, Chang Lele, who had been working the night shift all day, carried her bag as usual and walked straight up the dark stairwell in high heels to the room on the third floor that she shared with others.

She works as a nightclub salesperson in a bar in Sanlitun, commonly known as a bar girl.

Chang Lele sniffed and felt that there was a strange smell in the stairwell today, and she felt disgusted. This must be the fermentation produced by a drunk tenant who vomited it out.

"Hey, if you keep persisting, maybe you can win the lottery you bought today."

She could only comfort herself like this. Living in the capital was not easy. A girl like her from Beijing, with two bachelor's degrees, could maintain her current life here, let alone buy a house.

Seeing those colleagues who were prostitutes and prostitutes, dressed in gold and jade, moving from this shabby old house to a house with an elevator, she thought about going to sea more than once. She was confident that she could rely on her beauty and figure.

Definitely not inferior to those colleagues who have undergone medical aesthetics.

But she is still a woman to pursue. At the age of 26, she still firmly believes that as long as she takes the right path, success will come sooner or later.

Opening the door, Chang Lele immediately covered her nose. The house she rented was filled with a strong strange smell. She even smelled the smell of blood, and the source of the smell was...
She turned on the light and saw that the door to the roommate living in the master bedroom was wide open.

The doors to the other two rooms, including her own room separated by the living room and balcony, were closed.

"Meijuan, are you there?" Chang Lele bravely called out, but she didn't hear a response. She mustered up the courage to walk to the master bedroom. With just one glance, she yelled in fright.

It turned out that in the master bedroom, her roommate Du Meijuan was lying on the bed wearing a pure white wedding dress, but the strange thing was that a fruit knife was inserted into her chest at the heart.

What's even weirder is that there is an extremely pale man lying next to her on her 1.8-meter bed.

The man was wearing a suit and tie, and seemed to have a smile on his face.

Chang Lele was frightened. She knew this man, who was Du Meijuan's boyfriend, but that was not the point, because this man died in an accident the day before yesterday. Why was he here again now?
The police station in the jurisdiction rushed to the scene quickly. Chang Lele didn't sleep that day, except that when she closed her eyes, she remembered the scene on Du Meijuan's bed.

Also, she has lost count of how many people have recorded statements for her.

She even had the feeling that the policemen looked at her not with sympathy, but with suspicion, as if she, the one who called the police, was the real murderer.
Xu Zheng briefly read the files on this case, and the first person to suspect was Chang Lele.

Basically, in the handling of criminal cases, the first suspects suspected by the police are the people who reported the crime. There are many reasons. Chang Lele and Du Meijuan have a bad relationship, and the other three girls who live with them all know it.

Although the two did not quarrel in person, the police knew from their communication records that they must have had conflicts.

Chang Lele labeled Du Meijuan a "flatbed bus".

Du Meijuan labeled Chang Lele "White Lotus".

The confessions of their other three roommates also confirmed the differences between the two of them, because they both worked in bars, one was a performer but not a prostitute, and the other was a prostitute but also a prostitute.

It's hard to deal with it by nature.

In particular, Chang Lele complained more than once that Du Meijuan clearly had a boyfriend, but her private life was still so dissolute, and she even occasionally brought guests back to rent a house.

This made the conflict between them deeper and deeper.

In addition, they live together and often see each other, which leads to more minor conflicts in daily life.

If it weren't for the cheap rent here and the proximity to work, one of them would have moved away long ago.

"Mr. Yan, you specifically found out about this case. Could it be that you have made a new discovery?" Xu Zheng felt that there were many strange things. When the police from the police station arrived at the scene, they immediately sealed off the entire building.

Even surveillance in the community and surrounding areas was mobilized.

On-site inspection and trace inspection, as well as the criminal police brigade in charge of the case at the time, all sent people over to look for clues at the scene more than once.

But unfortunately, in the room of the deceased Du Meijuan, in addition to the traces of her and her boyfriend, the fingerprints and DNA belongings of five other men were found.

It's just that these five people were all Du Meijuan's previous guests, and they all had alibi, proving that they had no time to commit the crime during the time of Du Meijuan's death.

Therefore, after the entire investigation, there are many problems before the police.

Du Meijuan died of a broken heart. The murder weapon was the fruit knife. The fingerprints on the knife belonged only to her boyfriend, but her boyfriend died on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

So who stole Du Meijuan’s boyfriend’s body from the funeral home?
Who killed Du Meijuan and then framed her boyfriend?

What puzzled the investigators at the time most was that they could not find out who stole the body from all the cameras in the funeral home and nearby, including the driving recorders of the past few days.

The murderer cannot be pinned down.

Why did the murderer let Du Meijuan and her boyfriend lie on the bed wearing suits and wedding dresses? This is another puzzling question.

In short, the investigation unit that investigated the case at the time, and the task force that was restarted twice later, basically investigated everything that could be investigated, but the real culprit was not found.

Mr. Yan pushed up the reading glasses on the bridge of his nose, "I have no new discoveries. When I was talking to you yesterday, I happened to be re-reading this case. I thought you were here, so I wanted you to try it.

Maybe this is God's will, and I want you to solve the case and find the real culprit, and end the regrets of the investigators.

It comforts the deceased and relieves the pain of all those who cannot let go of this case.

For example, the person who called the police, Chang Lele, as far as I know, ten years have passed and she should be 36 years old this year. She is alone. It seems that if this case is not solved, she may be alone for the rest of her life. "

Some people have great psychological endurance, while some people have particularly poor psychological quality. Chang Lele is such a person, and the impact of the death scene on her can slowly fade away.

But ten years ago, everyone, including the police, suspected that she was the real culprit. She just called the police. As a result, she lost her job and was kicked out by her landlord.

Du Meijuan's family members cursed her wildly.

Even her own family sometimes looked at her with suspicion, let alone her neighbors.

As an ordinary person in this situation, the only choice she could make was to drift back to her hometown from the north, and then go out to work from her hometown.

Xu Zheng re-read Chang Lele's confessions, no less than ten of them, from the initial one taken by the police at the police station to the most recent one taken from her when the case was restarted three years ago.

Maybe Chang Lele was too nervous and would automatically go into a defensive state and take the initiative to forget some things, especially her recent confessions.

Many details were inconsistent, and she muttered to herself many times in her confession that she couldn't remember clearly.

It's not that she can't remember, but that she instinctively wants to forget these things.

This situation is very common. Ordinary people will be worried for several days when they help an old man on the road. They have to go to the police station to record a statement, and they may even get involved in a lawsuit.

As the first caller in this case, Chang Lele will be regarded as the first suspect every time the case is restarted.

Mr. Yan's implication just now was very clear, telling Xu Zheng not to disturb other people's lives if there was no conclusive evidence, or if there were major discoveries made during the investigation. Xu Zheng opened the video of Chang Lele's first confession recorded by the case handling unit, and asked casually: "Mr. Yan, if you say that you found this case at will.

I don't believe it. "

The first written confession was signed by Yan Xinhua. It was obvious that this was Mr. Yan's name, and this case was also the one he handled back then.

"The brat is still a good boy when he sees through it but doesn't tell it." Mr. Yan complained helplessly: "This case seems simple.

The murderer stole the body of the victim's boyfriend from the funeral home and faked the crime scene.

However, it has been restarted several times over the years, and the investigators have started from the victim and her boyfriend, as well as her colleagues and friends, to all the surrounding relationships, including prostitutes.

Checked everything.

The case was never solved.

I...I asked you to help me out of selfish motives. I was indeed the deputy director in charge of the case back then.

Ten years have passed.

well…"

Xu Zheng felt deeply helpless from Mr. Yan's words. No policeman did not want to solve the cases he had handled before retiring, and no policeman did not want to retire with glory.

But things are fickle, and there are very few criminal investigation policemen who can persevere until retirement without regrets. No one can solve the case 100%.

Neither can Xu Zheng.

Without a system, he would probably still be working as a patrol policeman at Liulihe Police Station, let alone solving the case.

Zhu Qing comforted the old man on the side, "Mr. Yan, what you said is that you are only in your early seventies and you have another twenty or thirty years to live.

Could definitely see this case solved. "

"Birth, old age, illness and death are all God's will. Speaking of which, I have to thank Xiao Xu." Mr. Yan suddenly cheered up as he spoke, his face flashed red, his eyes sharp and determined, "The euthanasia bill is your responsibility. Ming took the lead in promoting it.

Although it is now being piloted in some areas.

But I was ready to apply for euthanasia.

Haha... When I really can't hold on any longer, I will die with dignity no matter what.

By the way, I donated this piece of stinky skin. "

"What are you..." Xu Zheng's heart tightened, and he had an ominous premonition.

Mr. Yan smiled freely, as if he was no longer a mortal, "Stomach cancer, late stage!

It has started to spread, and there is no need to treat it. So I recommend all the treatments such as chemotherapy and traditional Chinese medicine.

With this time, I might as well work at my desk, just in case I solve another case before I die. "

Xu Zheng looked at Mr. Yan carefully. The old man's face was rosy and shiny, his eyes were slightly cloudy, but he was still energetic.

It doesn't look like a patient with advanced gastric cancer.

Of course, this isn't his comeback.

"Why, are you worried about when I will die?" Mr. Yan saw Xu Zheng and Zhu Qing becoming heavy, and said with a hearty smile: "Life is rare in seventy years, and I can live to this age.

I have done something practical for the people in this world, and I can go down to meet those seniors with peace of mind.

What do you think I have to regret? "

Xu Zheng nodded, calmed down, and smiled again, "You are right, living a long life does not mean living a wonderful life.

Since you want me to reopen the case, you can, but I have one more condition. "

"Oh, it's different after a trip to southern Guangdong Province. I learned how to negotiate terms." Mr. Yan became interested and took a sip of tea from the large porcelain vat. "Let's talk about it. If you want people, you still need money."

Xu Zheng shook his head, "No, it's just about seeking power. As the saying goes, the name is not justified and the words are not justified. We are now working in the Fugitive Pursuit Bureau.

You have to tell the Capital City Bureau that I want to work part-time as a consultant for their City Bureau's Criminal Police Detachment.

Of course, if you still have some appeal, I can also serve as the captain of the city bureau's backlog team. "

"puff!"

Mr. Yan squirted all the tea on the file in front of him, coughed twice, pointed at Xu Zheng, shook his head and smiled bitterly, "The position of consultant is nothing.

But the captain of the backlog team is at the senior level, so you dare to think about it.

But... I personally think you are qualified. "

Xu Zheng knew that no matter how powerful and influential the old man was, he couldn't do it. He settled for the next best thing, "Then the position of leader of the backlog task force, is that okay?"

Generally speaking, task forces are formed on a temporary basis, regardless of level, but there is also a point where they are part-time or multi-tasking, which is very common in the system.

But most of them have a real job, and others have part-time jobs.

The leader of the task force is between reality and fiction. In this case, he can legitimately use the police force and resources of the Beijing City Bureau.

The most important thing is that after the case is solved, he can legitimately receive corresponding rewards and credits.

Otherwise, he could only help the city bureau's serious crime team solve cases like he did several times before. When the case was solved, he didn't get the merit medal, but only a small bonus and thanks from the city bureau.

"The brat's calculations are quite deep, and he won't suffer at all, okay!" Mr. Yan finally agreed, "Restarting this case should have been the job of the city bureau, and it has to be in their name.

But since you want to take the helm and build your own manpower, then I will risk my old face and let you give it a try. "

Xu Zheng thanked him quickly, and Mr. Yan agreed by saying this. If he could enter the capital city bureau based on this case, then he would naturally have two formal jobs.

Of course, his current file is still in the Pingjiang Provincial Fugitive Pursuit Office, and he is still on secondment, but after the expiration of one year, he will definitely be transferred to the Special Investigation Division for Overcoming the Backlog of Homicide Cases in the Fifth Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security.

At that time, he will also take up the work of the Beijing City Bureau.

Then he earns performance with his left hand and merit with his right hand. As long as one unit can produce good results, it will be profitable for him.

Regarding the question of whether he could take over the job concurrently, Xu Zheng did not consider this. At worst, he would focus on hard work with one hand and strict management with the other.
