Chapter 6 chapter Five

Gao Dong was sitting in the office, looking at the file repeatedly, thinking about the direction to solve the case. Jiang Wei pushed the door open, sat down in front of him, and put down a stack of documents in his hand. "Have you found anything?" Jiang Wei frowned and shook his head: "There is no progress in the forensic team's work. Except for this footprint left on the scene, it is difficult to make a major breakthrough." Gao Dong nodded. This result was not what he expected, because after several on-site searches, no other physical evidence was found. "We have basically asked about Wang Baoguo's wife, relatives, friends, and colleagues. His general relationship has been registered in the file, but from his family and colleagues, we can't find anyone who would want to kill him. he."

Gao Dong frowned and said, "How long has Wang Baoguo been working in your county?" "Eight years." "In the past eight years, he has always had grudges against others, right?" Jiang Wei nodded: "There should be minor festivals, but it seems that there is no one who has a real hatred against him. Even if someone doesn't like him, hates him, or even hates him, but he is the head of the procuratorate after all, and it is okay to be dissatisfied with him." Dare to show it." Gao Dong narrowed his eyes slightly, and analyzed: "Generally, there are three possibilities for this typical vendetta: one is economic disputes; the other is emotional disputes; the third is work conflicts. You should focus on investigating these."

"Well, this part of the work will continue to deepen, but for the time being, I haven't found any specific objects that can be suspected." Gao Dong took out a cigarette, threw one to Jiang Wei, lit it himself, took a puff slowly, and asked, "How is the economic situation in Wang Baoguo?" "It's okay, just some favors and extra benefits at work." The "extra benefits" Jiang Wei mentioned naturally refers to the income other than Sunshine's salary, but it is not a big deal at all to be a leader at this level. Gao Dong continued to ask: "Does he have any shares in companies in the society?"

"No, he is a foreigner. He has a daughter who is still studying, and his sister is in business, but he didn't participate. We asked his wife, and his wife also said that he just bought a house for investment by himself, and had no partnership with anyone to start a business." "It seems that the economic dispute does not exist, but what about the relationship, does he have any women outside?" "We asked others, and they revealed that Wang Baoguo had a relationship with a female primary school teacher a few years ago, and that teacher was transferred to the city to teach. We learned from various sources that the teacher has a family, although he may still be with her now. Wang Baoguo has contacts, but the contacts will not be too frequent, and the criminal motive is basically ruled out. Few people know about this matter. The husband of the teacher has been working in the urban area recently and has never left, so the possibility of crime is ruled out. In addition, Wang Baoguo There is no fixed mistress outside, at most she is a lady in an entertainment place, and she is just acting on occasion."

"What about work?" "Wang Baoguo has a stable personality and knows how to measure. I haven't heard of anyone in the procuratorate or other units who are particularly at odds with him." Gao Dong clenched his cigarette between his teeth and pressed his hand on his forehead: "Looking at it this way, this case is a bit difficult to handle." Jiang Wei said: "Boss, although the current situation is not very optimistic, I think the problem still lies in the interpersonal relationship. Because this case is a typical vendetta, it must be that our interpersonal investigation is not deep enough. After all, the murderer is usually afraid of Wang Baoguo. Identity, no matter how much hatred and dissatisfaction you have in your heart, you will not express it easily, so you need to dig deep enough in your interpersonal relationship."

Gao Dong nodded, and said, "You're right. The sooner this job has results, the better. If the time drags on for a long time, even if a possible suspect is found, the evidence will be destroyed by the murderer. It's easy to deal with. Another thing you need to know is that the murderer knows Wang Baoguo's residence, that is to say, it is more likely that the murderer is an acquaintance." "That's not necessarily the case. Maybe the murderer found Wang Baoguo's residence through tracking?" Gao Dong shook his head: "The possibility of knowing Wang Baoguo's specific residence by tracking is not high. One is that the Jinxing community usually has strict security, and there are many surveillance probes, so it is difficult to track and it is easy to leave evidence. The second is that the opportunity of a power outage prompted the murderer to kill. This is a temporary opportunity, not an opportunity that the murderer can predict in advance. The power outage announcement was posted the day before, and the murderer killed the next day. In just one day, it is difficult for the murderer to track down the specific residence. Of course, you can also arrange for someone to investigate Check the surveillance a few days ago to see if anyone has followed Wang Baoguo, but I think there is very little hope."

At this time, someone knocked on the door of the office, and a criminal police member from the county bureau ran in and said, "Boss, Bureau Gao, we got a clue when the police visited just now. At about eight o'clock the night before yesterday, someone was walking three streets away from the Jinxing community. I saw a person hurrying by on the street. It is not yet possible to judge whether the person seen by the witnesses is the murderer." Gao Dong hurriedly asked: "What are the characteristics of the person seen by the witnesses? Is there a knife in his hand?" "I didn't see if there was a knife. At that time, there was a power outage on the road and it was very dark. The witness was about five or six meters away from the man. He said that he looked at the back and looked a bit like Ye Yuanchao, the deputy director of the police station. He greeted him, but the man did not respond. , went straight away. He couldn’t tell who he saw. Our police have been visiting the neighborhood for the past two days, and we just asked about it today, and we don’t know if this information will be related to the case.”

Gao Dong pursed his lips: "Is this the only clue so far?" "um, yes." "Okay." Gao Dong was a little helpless, "Then you can continue to investigate." After the police officers left, Gao Dong snorted and said, "It's almost winter now. There were few people walking around at night, and there was a power outage. Now I can't even find any witnesses. After two days of investigation, I only asked about this." A dispensable clue. The witness did not even see who the other party was, nor did he see whether there was a knife in his hand, let alone determine whether what the witness saw was the murderer."

Jiang Wei said: "I guess the murderer should have hidden the dagger in his clothes after the murder." "That's for sure. If the murderer was walking down the street with a long dagger, even a power outage would bring many witnesses. By the way, just now your people said that the witnesses saw that person's back like who?" "Ye Yuanchao, deputy director of the county police station." "Deputy director of the police station? Is he related to Wang Baoguo?" Jiang Wei thought about it, and said: "It's not directly related, but indirectly." He shook his head and said, "But it's impossible, Lao Ye is an honest person, although he's not in a good mood recently, he won't commit murder of."

"What do you mean by being in a bad mood recently?" Jiang Wei hesitated for a moment, then hesitated, "Boss, don't you City Bureau know anything about this?" Gao Dong looked at him strangely: "What do I know, I don't know the people in the police station below you." "Well... that's how it is. You know the Secretary of the County Commission for Discipline Inspection, right?" "Looks like an old man surnamed Shen? I met him at a meeting in the city, but I can't remember it right now." "His name is Shen Xiaoxian, he has been an official in the county for decades, and his relationship is very strong—"

"I've heard that his comrade-in-arms seems to be the leader of the province." "That's right, he's an energetic figure anyway." "So what's the matter?" "A year ago, his son Shen Hao fell in love with Ye Yuanchao's daughter Ye Qing. Shen Hao was a playboy and often played with various women outside. After Ye Qing knew about it, she proposed to break up. But Shen Hao disagreed, and the two sides had conflicts. Arguing, this kid got angry and ran over Ye Qing to death, afterward—" Gao Dong's face suddenly changed, and he interrupted: "Wait a minute, you said you deliberately hit someone to death!" Jiang Wei showed embarrassment: "Yes." Gao Dong asked coldly, "Why hasn't this kind of criminal homicide been reported to the city?" According to regulations, all criminal cases must be reported to the Municipal Bureau. Gao Dong is the deputy director of criminal investigation of the Municipal Bureau. He has read most of the files, especially murder cases. He must have the impression.But he never knew about it, apparently the county didn't report it. Jiang Wei lowered his head: "This... this matter was not filed because... because Shen Xiaoxian entrusted many connections, several departments in the county suppressed the matter together and treated it as a traffic accident." Gao Dong snorted coldly, took out a cigarette and lit it: "Are you involved in this matter?" Jiang Wei hastily shied away: "Director Shao personally decided on this matter. I didn't intervene. He just told me that this is not a criminal case and we don't need our criminal investigation team to come forward." Gao Dong let out a long puff of smoke, and said coldly: "You have been an official outside for several years, and you don't say hello to me when you encounter problems." Jiang Wei hastily denied: "It's nothing, this... this case is the provincial and county leaders interceding, and asked all relevant units not to report to the above." Gao Dong sighed: "You really have no part in this matter?" Jiang Wei resolutely said: "At most, I know about it. Our criminal police were not involved in this matter from the beginning to the end." Gao Dong pursed his lips, frowned and said: "Okay, I believe you, don't mention this matter again in the future, and I never know about it. I must tell you a few words. If you encounter such a thing in the future, tell me in advance Say hello. Do you think that this kind of thing will be fine if you suppress it in your county? Do you think that a few leaders can open their mouths to completely resolve the matter? Your experience is too short! This kind of case is extremely easy to overturn! Chaos, there is no guarantee that one day the world will suddenly turn upside down, and all those responsible will be held accountable. It is not that this kind of thing has never happened, so read a few more history books when you have time!" Jiang Wei was terrified by Gao Dong's calm and prestige words, lowered his head and blushed and said, "Boss, I will definitely ask your opinion first in the future." "Forget it, you are also a deputy director now, so I don't need to say anything else. Go ahead and talk about Ye Yuanchao." Jiang Wei calmed down his emotions, and said again: "After several units jointly identified it, it was dealt with as a traffic accident. The Shen family compensated the Ye family nearly one million yuan in compensation. But Ye Yuanchao's wife disagreed. Their family is an only child. It's gone all of a sudden, no wonder she can't accept it. She has been clamoring to petition, asking the murderer to pay for her life without compensation. Ye Yuanchao is an honest man, and has been trying to persuade his wife not to make trouble. As a result, her wife suffered from depression, and her condition became worse and worse. Seriously, in the end, he committed suicide by jumping off a building just one and a half months ago. Since then, Ye Yuanchao has seldom spoken, and has a sad face all day long, and people at the police station say that he is drinking heavily now and doesn’t care about his business anymore.” Gao Dong nodded: "He is also a hard-working man. Then he has something to do with Wang Baoguo?" "There is no direct relationship. The indirect relationship is that Wang Baoguo was also the leader who coordinated Ye Qing's case. When Ye Yuanchao's wife went to the procuratorate, Wang Baoguo didn't want to make matters worse, so he called Ye Yuanchao. People from the county, the Public Security Bureau, and the police station came together to persuade him. Later, Wang Baoguo said harshly, saying that if his wife came to make trouble again, he would be arrested and sent to a mental hospital. Ye Yuanchao begged everyone for forgiveness. After all, everyone understood and comforted him , let him take care of his wife's affairs, and let work go for a while." Gao Dong pondered for a moment, making the image of Ye Yuanchao clearer in his mind. After a while, he asked, "Does Ye Yuanchao know Wang Baoguo's home address?" "You know, leaders at all levels of the political and legal system in the county have registered their address books. Lao Ye is the deputy director of the county police station, so he must know." Gao Dong thought for a while, and said: "I think this is the case. The people below will continue to visit the surrounding areas of the incident, and at the same time arrange for people to record the witnesses' statements in more detail. In addition, they will send people to investigate Ye Yuanchao. Recent whereabouts, especially the movement of the night before yesterday." Jiang Weidao: "I think it's impossible for Ye Yuanchao. He is an honest man, everyone recognizes him as a good man. After Ye Qing's death, he has been persuading his wife not to make trouble. Besides, even if he is provoked and wants revenge, he should find Shen Xiaoxian , has nothing to do with Wang Baoguo." Gao Dong nodded: "What you said makes some sense. The witnesses didn't see it clearly. They only said that Ye Yuanchao's back was like Ye Yuanchao. But now we don't have any other clues. Let's check this line first." "Should I ask about Ye Yuanchao's whereabouts directly, or what?" Gao Dong thought for a while, and said, "Don't ask directly. We just went to investigate a person based on a single witness saying that he saw a person with a back like Ye Yuanchao. The impact is not very good. A witness saw that person hurried past It is not certain whether the person is the murderer or not. The second is the murderer, and his back looks like Ye Yuanchao, so it does not mean that it is him. The third is that I also feel that an honest person like you said will not kill people, even if he wants to kill I will not look for Wang Baoguo if you have a wronged person and a debtor. You suspect that people in the system are not very good. You go to their police station first to ask about the situation and check their attendance records. By the way, don’t let your criminal police officers do this. , Let other people find a reason to understand."
