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

Chapter 916 South of Caiyun
Xu spent one day at home and took the high-speed train back to the capital early the next morning. Now, as the head of a small department, he is much busier than before.

In addition to business work, there were many meetings that he had to attend in person. After not going back, he flew to Chuncheng, Yunshan Province with several leaders of the ministry supervision team for Aunt Mei's case after two days of meetings.

In Spring City in the second half of the first lunar month, the temperature was much higher than in Beijing. After getting off the plane, Xu Zheng looked at the blue sky here, and a melody echoed in his ears...

South of the colorful clouds, on the top of the Hidden Dragon, on the shore of the Erhai Lake, wherever the heart desires, the beautiful Lijiang, the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, the Butterfly Spring, the shore of the Lugu Lake, a paradise on earth, a paradise on earth, although it is far away, there is nothing to stop it...

It is said that this place is full of scenery and beauties can be seen at every step. Unfortunately, he is not here for tourism, let alone to meet beauties, but to investigate a backlogged case.

Different from the past, Xu Zheng was under great pressure in handling the case this time, so much so that he had some insomnia these days. It was true that so far in Aunt Mei's case, the police had too few clues.

And he had just taken up the post of director of the Operations Division for the Backlog of Homicide Cases. If the Aunt Mei case was handled without even sparking a spark, then the prestige and honor he had accumulated before would be lost.

To put it simply, it will be difficult to lead the team in the future.

"Xiao Xu, let's go directly to the Yunshan Provincial Department and meet with our colleagues in the task force."

The person who spoke was Deputy Qian Yiwei who led the team. He was Xu Zheng’s immediate boss and the leader of the supervision team. He acted very neatly. Not only did he refuse to notify the comrades here to pick him up when he came to Chuncheng, he also asked him to go straight to the airport. Provincial Department.

Xu Zheng naturally had to listen to his leader. There was no one to pick him up at the airport, so the group chose to take a driverless taxi to their destination.

On the way, Xu Zheng was invited by Deputy Qian to take a ride in a car. Perhaps the taxi had a driving recorder and monitoring equipment, but the two did not discuss the case.

Instead, he talked about the achievements of the Yunshan Provincial Police over the years, “When talking about the police work in Yunshan Province, we have to mention an unjust, false and wrong case.

You should know about the case of Du Xinwu from the Spring City Drug Rehabilitation Center in 98, right? "

Xu Zheng nodded. He had read about that case in an extracurricular journal when he was in school. What were the real details? Whether it was true or not in journals and on the Internet, he couldn't believe it now.

Qian Yiwei continued, “Many people only focus on Officer Du’s case, but ignore another case that proved that he was wrongly accused.

That is, the real culprit in Officer Du’s case is a railway police officer in Yunshan Province.

What this person did is even more outrageous. Alas... I will go back and tell you the inside story when I have a chance. "

Xu Zheng was a little curious. The real culprit in Officer Du's case was also a policeman. He knew about this, but he could not find out what this person had done from journals and the Internet.

All I know is that it was this railway police officer who killed Officer Du’s wife and colleagues.

"Department Qian, did our ministry send a supervision team to Spring City for Officer Du's case?"

Qian Yiwei laughed at himself, "I told the outside world that there was no such thing. In fact, I had read the file at that time. At that time, Yunshan Province hired polygraph experts from ministries and commissions.

But...you saw the result.

In addition, the system in that era was not as perfect as it is now. The sky was high and the road was far away, and the budget for handling cases was insufficient...

There are many reasons. It is impossible for the ministry to send a supervision team or inspection team just because there is a murder case in the local area.

Usually it’s a simple matter of understanding.

I say all this just to tell you that Yunshan Province is different from other places. First, there are many ethnic minorities, and laws and local customs are sometimes contradictory.

Second, it is close to the Golden Triangle and has many vicious cases.

three.
Anyway, due to various factors, our colleagues in Yunshan Province are relatively rough in handling cases. Do you understand what I mean? "

Xu Zheng nodded. He had actually heard of it. It was said that his colleagues here even retained the "traditional interrogation methods", especially to deal with those who manufacture and sell illegal drugs.

That's even more arbitrarily greeting them.

Two years ago, he came here to handle an anti-trafficking case, and all his contacts were colleagues in the anti-trafficking field. He had never cooperated with criminal investigators and special police. This time, he mainly cooperated with criminal investigators from Yunshan Province.

"Criminal investigators from the Qian Department, Southern Guangdong Province, Guishan Province and Southern Fujian Province, have arrived at the Yunshan Provincial Department, and a task force composed of the four provincial departments, although Yunshan Province is the main body.

But I believe that in front of such peers, even if they want to handle the case roughly, others will not agree. "

This is good for the work under the supervision of ministries and commissions. Several provinces can be united to form a task force, which not only facilitates case handling, but also can take care of each other. However, this time, investigators from Yunshan Province will be the main body.

After all, most of Guo Yiming's criminal activity areas are in Yunshan Province.

As for Aunt Mei, her area of ​​activity is very large. She basically commits crimes in several provinces in South China and Southwest China.

Soon the car arrived at the destination, and Xu Zheng hurriedly stretched out his watch to scan the QR code to pay. After getting off the car, a small group of people was already standing at the door of the Yunshan Provincial Office. It seemed that they had received the news and specially greeted him at the door.

After a few words of greeting at the door, the Deputy Executive Office of Yunshan Province came forward to receive Qian Yiwei and his party. It was not lunch yet, so the Qian Department asked to hold a small meeting first for everyone to get to know each other.

Because it is jointly organized by several provinces, and there are many members of the supervision group from ministries and commissions, it is said to be a small meeting, but the number of members is quite large, plus several leaders from Yunshan Provincial Department.

The conference room with more than thirty people was full.

Of course, the task force certainly does not have that many people. The supervision group, like Qian Yiwei, has several leaders. They are not responsible for specific matters, and many of them take credit in name only.

Excluding several leaders from Yunshan Province, plus Southern Guangdong Province, they only have one investigator from each province participating in the task force.

In the end, there were only 12 members of the task force.

Among them, there were only four people in Xu Zheng's department, including him, Li Hui and Liu Bin.

Zhu Qing successfully squeezed into the task force this time by virtue of his status as Xu Zheng's assistant.

Five criminal investigation experts from Yunshan Provincial Department have joined the task force.

Of course, the 12-member task force is only the main member of the case handling team. Others, such as others in the Homicide Backlog Division, must also be on call at any time to help provide various technical support and investigation directions.

The Yunshan Provincial Department will also provide a large number of police personnel to the task force to facilitate various investigations and interrogations.

So after calculation, there may be hundreds, thousands, or even more police officers involved in this case.

After several leaders and members of the task force introduced themselves, Xu Zheng was responsible for presiding over the work of the task force, so he briefly stated the current progress of Aunt Mei's case.

He first asked Zhuqing to project the photo collected by the human trafficker Guo Yiming onto the big screen, and then began to talk about the case, "Everyone should know that by now.

We can only study the truth of Aunt Mei's case from the mouth of the human trafficker Guo Yiming and this photo.

There are eight people in the photo. Among them, Guo Yiming is currently being held in a detention center in Spring City. The second person on the left, Zhang Qingmin, has been executed in 2023.

But it is a pity that the confession left by Zhang Qingmin does not contain any clues about the truth of Aunt Mei's case and her whereabouts. He also did not explain anything about his accomplices and Guo Yiming.

In addition to the two of them, there are six other people in the photo, including the first one from the left and the third one from the right, a man and a woman. According to double investigations on the intranet and the police station in the jurisdiction where the two of them are located.

He died in 2015 and 2018 respectively, and his household registration was cancelled.

As for the death certificate issued by the police at that time, it is still being verified whether it is the two people themselves.

The other four people, two men and two women, were not identified by the intranet or the Sky Eye system. It is possible that they wore disguises or fake hoods when taking the photos.

There is another possibility that they are not Chinese.

This is my personal guess, and I can’t confirm it yet. I will send you their specific information later. "

Qian Yiwei then said: "The ministry and the higher authorities attach great importance to Aunt Mei's case and attach great importance to it, so everyone must handle this case clearly and make every aspect, especially the details, as perfect as possible.

Just now Xu Zheng guessed that there were foreigners in this photo, so everyone should find them.

If you need to handle cases across borders, I will apply for all the procedures. "

The Executive Deputy Office of Yunshan Province also quickly stated, “We provide various supports to the task force, and all police dispatch and investigation work will be completed on time.

Speaking of which, most of the abducted children involved in the Aunt Mei case in recent years came from Yunnan and Guizhou, and our place is the hardest hit area.

Therefore, all of us in Yunshan Province have made every effort to cooperate with the task force and investigate the truth about Aunt Mei’s case.”

Xu Zheng silently listened to the leaders' "high-level advice" and did not take their requests to heart. The Aunt Mei case lasted for more than thirty years, during which time some of the suspects were probably dead.

Even the real culprit behind the case has died long ago.

Therefore, the so-called truth is no longer important.

Of course, this was just Xu Zheng's own thoughts. As the meeting ended, his thoughts were brought back to reality. It was just time for lunch, and the Yunshan Provincial Department provided lunch.

It is said to be lunch, but it is actually a simple work meal, except that the samples are richer than usual and there are more special dishes.

The canteens of government agencies basically follow the same process, buffet mode, where everyone picks up food at will and then finds a seat to sit.

In the past, Xu Zheng was low-ranking and young, so he could sit wherever he wanted, but now that his rank has increased, he could only sit with the leader.

When I sit with them, I basically won’t discuss the case during the meal, but will only talk about daily trivial matters.

Fortunately, he ate quickly.

After the meal, as soon as Xu Zheng sent the plate to the recycling dining cart, Qiao Zhenjun from the Yunshan Provincial Anti-Human Trafficking Office came over and greeted him warmly, "Xiao Xu, come and sit at my place.

There were too many people just now, so I didn’t have time to chat with you. "

In fact, Xu Zheng had just greeted Qiao Zhenjun, but due to the occasion and the large number of people, he only said a few words. Now that everyone had taken the initiative to invite him, of course he couldn't refuse.

It just so happened that he also had something to ask Qiao Zhenjun.

Qiao Zhenjun's office is also inside the Yunshan Provincial Department. As soon as Xu Zheng sat down, he quickly made a pot of tea and brought it over, "Try our special tea here, Tuocha."

Tea culture, like wine culture, is one of the ways for Chinese people to communicate. Xu Zheng has long been accustomed to this. He picked up the tea cup and admired it before tasting it. "The color is dark and moist, the soup is clear, and it has a fragrant fragrance and a mellow and sweet taste." .

Very different from the green tea we have there.

It’s true that the soil and water support the people. "

Qiao Zhenjun was overjoyed when he heard this, as if he had met a confidant, "Haha, Xiao Xu is right, although our Yunshan is most famous for Pu'er, but I personally prefer drinking Tuocha.

Especially Xiaguan Tuocha, I have a special liking for it.

Come on, I prepared this for you in advance. Let’s see if it’s enough for you to drink while you’re working here. "

As he spoke, Qiao Zhenjun took out two large bags of Tuocha. The packaging was not very fancy, but it was absolutely authentic. "Don't worry, drink whatever you want. I'll still have it after you finish it. If you like to drink Pu'er or Dianhong."

I'll prepare it for you again. "

Xu Zheng hurriedly declined, "Director Qiao, this is enough, please don't spend any more money."

Qiao Zhenjun's gratitude to Xu Zheng was as deep as the Erhai Sea, not only because of his daughter's matter, but also for the matter of this task force.

If he hadn't cooperated with Xu Zheng several times, he might not have had the chance to join the task force on Aunt Mei's case this time.

After all, anti-trafficking work is different from criminal investigation. Many times when it comes to specific criminal investigation work, the case is often snatched away by the criminal investigation team.

Fortunately, part of Aunt Mei's case involved anti-trafficking work, and at Xu Zheng's request, he, as the actual person in charge of anti-trafficking work, also became a member of the task force.

"Xiao Xu, is your next step going to start interrogating the human trafficker Guo Yiming?" After three rounds of tea, Qiao Zhenjun finally talked about work matters.

Xu Zheng shook his head, "This is a tough one. Alas... It's my fault too. At that time, I only wanted to secretly send him back to China, but he turned into Guo Yiming when he returned to China.

But in this way, we will not be able to pursue his illegal and criminal activities abroad. "

An investigation would be equivalent to confessing that the police of the flower-growing country used illegal acts to kidnap a legal Thai citizen. In this way, Guo Yiming can apply for diplomatic protection.

People in Thailand can also use this to sue the police of the flower-growing country.

Not only can Guo Yiming's illegal behavior in Thailand not be mentioned, the domestic police must also deny his Thai identity. However, the only crime he has committed is the kidnapping of Qiao Zhenjun's daughter Qinglan.

As for the robbery and murder case, there was still no evidence found that Guo Yiming was the murderer.

So based on the existing evidence alone, whether he would confess to Aunt Mei's case or not, Xu Zheng could guess the outcome without a trial.

But no matter how difficult it is to interrogate Guo Yiming, we still have to get the truth about Aunt Mei's case from his mouth. There is nothing we can do about it. There are eight people in the photo, but the police only caught him now.

Xu Zheng has been thinking about this matter these days and has no breakthrough, especially when he thinks of one of the accomplices in Aunt Mei's case, the prisoner named Zhang. If he had not been shot, would he have revealed the truth about Aunt Mei's case?

Xu Zheng is not sure about this issue, but it is probably impossible, because if the prisoner named Zhang had confessed earlier, he would have confessed when he was sentenced to death in order to obtain a reduced sentence.

But there are no ifs in the world!
