Chapter 976 Detailed
Standing in the internal toilet of the Criminal Police Brigade, Jiang Yuan listened to Cui Qishan's words. He had already guessed something in his heart, but he still asked: "Just say it directly."

"Okay." Cui Qishan took a long breath and said, "I'll make it short. Yesterday morning, Xiao Si and another young criminal guard, Chang Xue, were interrogating a suspect. Halfway through, at two o'clock in the morning, the suspect asked to go to the bathroom, so Wei Chang Xue brought him to the bathroom, handcuffed him next to the toilet, and let him go to the bathroom on his own. As a result, the suspect disappeared. At 6 o'clock in the morning, the two reported that the suspect had escaped."

In just one sentence, Jiang Yuan was able to detect several violations.

Jiang Yuan didn't comment, and asked: "What do you want to do by looking for me?"

"It would be best if we could catch him." Cui Qishan noticed Jiang Yuan's expression while speaking, sighed helplessly, and then said, "The suspect is involved in a series of burglary cases and has the ability to unlock doors. In theory, he is indeed capable of escaping independently. Although Xiao Si has a bad mouth, I still believe in him. So, at the very least, I believe he will not torture people into confessing."

We are all criminal police, so we all know where the core point is.

The person running away and the file being lost are the most shameful things for a criminal policeman, and they are also things that will inevitably lead to punishment.

But there is a difference between punishment and disciplinary action.

If the person simply ran away, it would be a very stupid punishment, but if he could be found, it would be acceptable.

But if they cannot be found, all the violations here will become problems.

Is it necessary to continue the interrogation at two o'clock in the morning?
Was the location and procedures of the interrogation in compliance with regulations? Given the conditions of the Zhengguang Bureau, it was unexpected that the suspect was allowed to escape. Moreover, why did the suspect escape? Was there any torture involved?
If the inspectors follow up on this point, how can I prove myself?

Finally, if the thief simply ran away and disappeared, that would be one thing, but what if he continued to commit crimes? What if he was out there with no food or clothing, committed a robbery, or even broke into a house again, which led to another robbery? What if the robbery evolved into a murder...

There are more than 2000 police stations and more than to police stations across the country, not counting the independent criminal police teams at all levels. If a suspect escapes, there is always a certain probability of it happening. The police are well aware of the subsequent problems and hidden dangers.

Jiang Yuan had roughly understood what Cui Qishan wanted, so he asked first, "The person who ran away at 2 a.m. reported at 6 a.m. Did they investigate on their own during the four hours in between?"

"Yes." Cui Qishan said calmly, "They went to find the surveillance cameras and tracked the suspect based on the surveillance. They found that he climbed out of the bathroom window, climbed a tree on the side wall, jumped out of the courtyard wall, stole a shared bicycle, rode west for a few kilometers, and then disappeared from the surveillance."

"Completely disappeared?"

"When Xiao Si reported to me at 6 o'clock in the morning, Tao Zhi asked the image detection people to help look at it. After that, we chased him for a few more kilometers, but couldn't catch up with him." Cui Qishan let out a breath, feeling annoyed for a while.

Jiang Yuan then looked carefully at the bathroom window and asked, "How serious is this suspect's case?"

"Burglary, serial crime, repeat offender, it's still uncertain whether it's a single person or a gang, the total amount of theft is over a million, if sentenced, 7 years is possible." Cui Qishan exhaled, and said, "The suspect is in his 30s, has no children, no wife, and doesn't want to go to jail, so he would rather abscond or run away, which is also possible."

There is a lot of common understanding in the communication between police officers, and this is true for Jiang Yuan’s questions and Cui Qishan’s answers.

Life on the run is not easy. With the development of electronic investigation technology in China, especially the application of big data, the convenience of life for fugitives has been greatly reduced. Therefore, some friends who often commit crimes will start to discuss whether to surrender themselves.

As for the suspect in front of us, it is unrealistic to want to escape for a long time. A simple way is to put his information online (online pursuit), and just by comparing the portraits of people in various regions, it may be difficult for him to escape. It is even more difficult for him to use various public services.

Therefore, some fugitives whose crimes are not too serious, although they have not been caught, their lives are becoming increasingly difficult. In the end, some of them may live a life even more miserable than in prison, and many of them voluntarily surrender themselves.

Corresponding to the suspects, those who are generally sentenced to three or four years in prison are actually not worthwhile to abscond. A sentence of seven years is indeed a relatively long time, but if you run away from the police station, you will obviously go online, and if you are caught again, you will be sentenced heavily, so it is not very cost-effective.

However, this incident was quite tragic for Cui Qishan's team, especially the two police officers on duty, Xiao Si and Wei Changxue.

Jiang Yuan shook his head slowly. He had just carefully examined the windowsill, and then looked at the pried open handcuffs and other items. He shook his head and said, "There are indeed traces of self-opening, but these don't prove anything..."

"We are now worried that the suspect may flee abroad." Cui Qishan said helplessly, "It's almost the end of the year, and if this matter is not resolved in the next two days, Xiao Si will be ruined."

The first two days are the most important for catching a fugitive. The suspect will have no money or property on him, and even food and lodging will become a problem. Once he shows up, he may be arrested.

But if these two days are delayed, the difficulty of finding someone will definitely double.

"Okay, I'll help you find someone and let Political Commissar Huang talk to Director Tao?" It was obviously impossible for Jiang Yuan to take the case like this.

“Okay, okay…” Cui Qishan held Jiang Yuan’s hand tightly and said sincerely: “Captain Jiang, on behalf of the entire team, I thank you… When this case is over, I will find a few bodies for you…”

"No need to be so polite." Jiang Yuan held down Cui Qishan, who was about to make a move, and asked, "Where's Xiao Si?"

"I'll take you there." Cui Qishan took Jiang Yuan out.

Outside the door, Wang Chuanxing, Mu Zhiyang and others were staring with detective expressions on their faces.

"Meet the person first." Jiang Yuan didn't explain much and called Huang Qiangmin first.

After walking a short distance upstairs, I entered a small room. When I opened the door, I saw Xiao Si and another young criminal policeman sitting opposite each other.

When he saw Cui Qishan coming in, the young criminal police's eyes instantly turned red.

Cui Qishan laughed twice: "Look who I brought to you. Now that Captain Jiang is here, even if the suspect is covered in dust, we can still sweep him back!"

Cui Qishan then said to Jiang Yuan, "Wei Changxue is a new criminal police officer in our brigade. He is a very honest young man. Xiao Si is his master. Xiao Wei, didn't you keep saying that you haven't met Captain Jiang? Captain Jiang flew here specially this time."

Wei Changxue looked dejected: "But it's probably too late now."

"Who told you it's too late? The prisoner has only been on the run for 12 hours. We have plenty of time." Cui Qishan wanted to correct Wei Changxue's attitude.

Wei Changxue looked at Xiao Si and whispered, "My master said so."

"Old Xiao!" Cui Qishan looked at Xiao Si angrily.

"I didn't say anything." Xiao Si's mood wasn't good either, he even frowned a little.

"You didn't say anything, but you scared Xiao Wei like this!" Cui Qishan said seriously: "Just tell me what you said."

Xiao Si also sighed and said, "Xiao Wei asked me if I had encountered similar things before. I told him that I had not encountered it, but we did have suspects who escaped before. I introduced the circumstances of these cases one by one, from the end to the beginning, and the endings of these predecessors."

"There's no good ending." Wei Changxue's tone was full of giving up.

"Do you think I'm telling you a love story?" Xiao Si pouted: "For something like this, being punished is the best outcome."
