With Fan Huajing's confession, the bone china case is roughly 70% complete, with Tian Yuanguo and Mo Zhongyun remaining 20%, and the last 10% still missing the first crime scene.
Over the next week, the task force took turns interrogating Tian Yuanguo. Even with Fan Huajing's identification, he still refused to admit that he and Qi Yuanhai killed the 13 female victims.
During this week's interrogation, not only Xu Zheng and Zhou Fangben were at a loss, but also the various criminal investigation and interrogation experts and criminal psychology experts at the provincial level were at a loss.
Unfortunately, no surveillance cameras or mobile phones captured the Tian Yuanguo brothers’ criminal process.
Tian Yuanguo was stubborn and insisted not to plead guilty. He also refused to admit the evidence presented by the task force, and he also refused to admit his relationship with Fan Huajing.
And Mo Zhongyun, he refused to admit that he participated in the murder of the victims. He only admitted that he did have sex with them. At that time, he just thought it was a trap designed by the twin brothers to win over him, but he only admitted this.
Of these two people, Tian Yuanguo has no father, mother, or relatives. Qi Yuanhai's posthumous son cannot shake his determination, so he has no flaws in his body. Mo Zhongyun is afraid of death, and he also knows that Qi Yuanhai is dead, and Tian Yuan Guo is tight-lipped, but as long as he insists, his current crime alone cannot sentence him to death.
Everyone weighs the pros and cons, but Mo Zhongyun knows better. Even after repeated interrogations, he can't get a confession from him.
When the case reached this point, Xu Zheng and Zhou Fangben talked about it first. They both believed that if the case continued to be delayed, the so-called truth would not be discovered and there would be no way to provide evidence, which would make the case fall into a conflict between "objective facts" and "legal facts."
So far, Xu Zheng and his task force can only achieve legal truth. As for the objective facts, that is, what is the truth, if they cannot get the confessions of Tian Yuanguo and Mo Zhongyun, they can only hand over the case to the case handling detachment.
Let them review and supplement the details of the case, then hand it over to the procuratorate, and finally wait for the court to hear it. This is a long and boring job that will basically not be completed in less than a year.
Therefore, during this period, the work of collecting criminal evidence against Tian Yuanguo, Mo Zhongyun and several others cannot be stopped, but these tasks are no longer the work of the task force.
The task force spent another week working with colleagues from the case handling detachment to sort out all the details of the bone china case, and finally the day came to disband.
Not perfect. Xu Zheng felt that the handling of the case was very imperfect. In addition to not obtaining the confessions of the two suspects, the scene of the first crime was not determined. However, Tian Yuanguo, as the first murderer of the victim, could not escape. dropped.
Unfortunately, only Mo Zhongyun was there.
Not only Xu Zheng was dissatisfied with this result, but also other members of the task force. On the contrary, several leaders felt that the case had been handled well to this point.
No, Peng Wanyou, Liao Hai and Jian Xueqing all attended the last meeting of the task force. The leaders verbally praised each member of the task force. The police propaganda department will not publicize this case to the outside world, except for the three former colleagues involved. Also, the victim in this case met a tragic end and should not be known to the outside world.
However, Director Peng and Mr. Liao both said that they would report the performance of the task force to the provincial department, and there would be a high probability of a collective third-class merit award.
It can be regarded as the superior leaders' recognition of the hard work of the task force for more than a month.
Xu Zheng naturally looked down upon this third-class collective merit, including the third-class individual merit. However, it was better than nothing. He readily accepted it in front of the leader and took the opportunity to ask for a few more days off.
After all, no one has had much rest this month.
When Peng Ting heard his request, he laughed directly and said, "How about this? I'll give you three days off. It happens to be Friday today and you'll go back to work next Tuesday. How about that?"
Everyone's faces looked strange when they heard this, because these three days happened to be the legal holiday of New Year's Day, and the co-leaders set the meeting time for today just to use the New Year's Day holiday to give them a holiday!
He is so scheming, worthy of being a leader, he is indeed extremely shrewd.
Everyone was dissatisfied, but did not dare to contradict Peng Ting in public, so they all looked at Xu Zheng.
Xu Zheng had guessed this result from the beginning. He originally thought he would be given an extra day off. After all, Monday was New Year's Day, but when he saw everyone's eyes asking for help, he could only pretend that he couldn't see it.
It's not that he doesn't dare to ask Director Peng for an explanation in public, but it's only one month before the Chinese New Year. He is also a section chief himself, and there are task targets for the work at hand, whether it is too much or too little.
"Ting Peng, if that's the case, our task force will disperse as soon as the meeting is over, okay?"
Xu Zheng meant that he was not going to attend the afternoon class. Peng Wanyou smiled slightly, nodded, thought about it again and explained to everyone why it could only be a third-class collective merit, "We know that there are people in our task force. You will feel that this bone china case is serious, the murderer is cruel, and there are many suspects... the difficulty of handling the case is no less difficult than some cases.
But why give you third-class merit?
There are naturally many reasons for this. In addition to the fact that the Qi Yuanhai brothers and Mo Zhongyun have already been arrested and brought to justice, more importantly, this case involves colleagues from other departments within our system.
Therefore, the leaders chose to deal with it coldly, neither publicizing it to the outside world nor praising you in a high-profile manner, but their ability to handle cases was noticed by the leaders. This is a hidden score.
Don't underestimate these hidden points. Sometimes, they will provide you with indispensable points for promotion.
When the time comes, don’t blame me for not reminding you. "
Peng Wanyou definitely said this to his own people behind closed doors. That is to say, the members of the task force have been working under him for more than two months. They have feelings for each other and he is optimistic about this group of people, so he said this.
How can everyone not understand that the leader is willing to tell you the truth and treats you as one of his own? This is not a simple relationship between colleagues.
Relying on his youth, Situ Yao squinted his small eyes and smiled broadly, "As soon as I heard the leader's words, I felt like I was pumped with blood, and I was full of energy. In order to get my personal third-class merit as soon as possible, I Mr. Peng, all leaders, please take a look at my next performance."
Yao Ke'er raised his eyebrows, no wonder this little friend was thrown here by the economic investigators. He always didn't care about the many unspoken rules in officialdom.
To show my loyalty, Team Leader Xu and Team Zhou haven’t said anything yet, why are you suddenly showing up? This is a system, not a classroom where you can speak freely like a school.
Xu Zheng was not angry, and saw Yao Keer anxious for Situ Yao. He smiled and said, "Ting Peng, you see, some of our colleagues are quite enlightened.
Well, during these three days of vacation, Situ will be on duty here to cooperate with the work of the case handling detachment.
What do you think? "
Peng Wanyou laughed loudly, pointed at Xu Zheng, smiled at Liao Hai and Jian Xueqing and said: "Look, look, this guy is still giving me problems.
Put away your little thoughts, don't work overtime, take vacations, and strive to make new achievements in the last month of the year.
Situ, can you do it? "
As soon as Situ Yao said what he just said, he knew that he shouldn't speak first. The situation was wrong. When Xu Zheng asked him to work overtime, he felt so uncomfortable!
In the end, Peng Ting made the decision and allowed him to take a vacation, but he asked himself if he could make new contributions, which he definitely couldn't do.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly this time and understood that Director Peng was asking him on the surface, but in fact he was asking Xu Zheng. When he saw the director nodding, he replied loudly, "Report to Director Peng and resolutely complete the task."
The words were few and clean. Everyone smiled and understood the meaning, but at the same time they were curious about why Xu Zheng was so sure that he would be able to make new achievements in such a short period of time.
You know, his next mission is to arrest the A-level wanted criminals issued by the ministries and commissions of Pingjiang Province.
When did Class A wanted criminals become a prostitute?
Can it be so easy to catch?
Everyone didn't believe it, but their hearts were full of expectations.
Naturally, Xu Zheng would not boast before completing the task, nor did he inform Peng Ting and Jian Chu which wanted criminal he chose to arrest.
Because the system sound has not sounded for a long time.
After the meeting ended and the task force was officially disbanded, the system's voice rang in Xu Zheng's mind. He quickly returned to his office, closed the door, and quietly browsed the system contents.
[Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully detecting the bone china case. The system will reward the host with the accurate location of a random A-level wanted criminal. 】
[Ding, Class A wanted criminal Ma Yuying, female, Han nationality, born on September 3, 1990, registered place: No. 126, Group 25, Hengjie Village, Zhongcheng Street, Linwu District, Yangzhou City, Pingjiang Province, ID number:... ...
He was suspected of major fraud and has not been arrested so far. 】
[Ding, the system rewards the host. This mission is precision navigation, which lasts for one month. There will be rewards for completing it. There will be no reward for not completing it. 】
As soon as the system finished speaking, the system map automatically appeared in Xu Zheng's mind. This time the map system automatically locked on a certain community in the Magic City. Looking at its location, it turned out that it was either rich or expensive.
Binhe No. 1 Courtyard is located on Zhongshan South 1st Road, Huangpu District. It is said that the house price is 150,000 per square meter. The people living there are either big stars or big businessmen. Anyway, they are all very rich.
It is said that there is a high-end club of more than 8,000 square meters in the community, and there is even a football field. In this kind of community, ordinary people, including small policemen like him, cannot even enter without the guidance of an acquaintance.
The more Xu Zheng thought about this community, the more he felt that this Class A wanted criminal was not as easy to catch as he had thought before. Sure enough, the system was a trap and would definitely not give him a very simple job.
In this month's time, can he still catch Ma Yuying?
At this time Xu Zheng fell into deep thought...
He originally thought that with accurate positioning, he could use simulation portraits and other technical means to determine the identity of the wanted female criminal and then arrest her. However, now that he saw this community, he felt even more chilled.
In such a high-end community, if the wanted criminal does not go out, it will not be easy for him to enter. In such a community, even if you rent a house, the owner and the property owner will ask you to provide some asset certificates to prove that you are not here to fish for money. , which also proves that you are qualified to live in this community with them.
The wanted notice released contained various information about Ma Yuying, as well as her photos. Xu Zheng looked at her in detail for a while. She had an ordinary face, with slender eyes, a small turned nose, and a heart-shaped mouth. Judging from her appearance, she should be a person who is good at dealing with people. A person who always smiles when interacting with people.
This photo of Ma Yuying should be the photo on her ID card. She is really without makeup. Xu Zheng used a pen to draw a sketch for her, then helped her add makeup to remove the shortcomings on her face, and then manually beautified her face...
Soon, a fashionable girl with a fox-like face, a peach blossom face, and a cheerful smile appeared on the paper. At first glance, she was naturally very beautiful. The most important thing was that with Xu Zheng’s beauty, her eyes turned into She has almond-shaped eyes.
This type of woman is born to be a salesperson, because when she smiles with her eyes, she gives people a convincing power, and she is the kind with her own temperament.
Unfortunately, 45-year-old Ma Yuying committed a major fraud in Yangzhou City 10 years ago, when she was 35 years old, in 2025, and has not yet been brought to justice.
Xu Zheng needs a formal investigation to check the specific facts of the case, but considering that this woman has not been caught for so many years, it means that it is basically impossible to start with her case itself.
So what should he do now?
It's impossible to wait at the door of that high-end community every day waiting for Ma Yuying to meet by chance, right?
But this is not very realistic, because the probability of living in that community and walking out is very small, and this is also a stupid method. More importantly, what does he do now under the various big data in this society? Everything must be justified.
Otherwise, before he can check others, someone will check him.
Just when Xu Zheng was having a headache about how to get it, there was a sudden knock on the office door, and then Long Chuchu walked in, "Director, Team Zhou said that everyone will have a dinner together at noon."
This is what should be done. Xu Zheng stood up immediately, put Ma Yuying's matter behind him, and prepared to study it when he went to work next week, "Then what are you waiting for? However, this can't be said to be a break-up meal. , but a celebration banquet.
Have you agreed on where to go? "
Of course, the celebration banquet must be eaten outside, and this meal can be reimbursed internally. Of course, the standards cannot be too outrageous. The meal was over in less than an hour without drinking.
After Xu Zheng finished eating, he did not go home immediately, but went to Zheng Heming's studio.
Now, two months have passed since the first tranche of funding, and now the second tranche of funding has arrived. The studio has also found an additional large conference room in the provincial hall for office use.
Because the research company that the studio cooperates with has fed back a lot of materials one after another, these materials have to be sorted out, and special simulation portraits have to be classified, and then computer experts will write algorithms based on these materials and conclusions.
It's easy to say, but in fact the workload is very heavy, time-consuming and expensive. We haven't given subsidies to the five or six experts and professors who came to help. Otherwise, their salary alone would be the minimum per person per month. Twenty to thirty thousand, maybe.
Currently, the project is still in the initial stage of collecting a large amount of materials, and no results have been produced. However, everyone is becoming more and more confident in the results of the project. The main reason is that Xu Zheng has spent the past two months studying and sorting out these materials with these experts and professors.
Everyone made slight progress.
Especially Xu Zheng, his ability to simulate portraits has reached the master level, and the success rate of portraits has increased a lot. Now they have collected more than 500 cases of abducted children in Binh Giang, Truong Binh, and Guishan provinces. I did a simulation portrait.
In two months, he helped more than 50 families find their abducted children.
In the past few months, Zheng Heming Studio has been continuously helping local police detect abduction cases. It has not only been recognized by superior leaders, but also received unanimous praise from the media and netizens across the country.
Like Xu Zheng, several professors and experts have not publicized it on the Internet. Currently, only the leader of the project, Zheng Heming, has appeared a few times. He has no choice but to go when the provincial department and the Ministry of Public Security award awards.
Not to mention how many medals and certificates Zheng Heming and his studio have received, he promised himself that after the Chinese New Year, he would be able to obtain the honor of a first-class model.
This honor is even rarer than first-class merit. It is the highest honorary title awarded by the Ministry of Public Security to public security personnel, and it is also the highest reward. The bonus alone is 80,000 yuan.
Moreover, with the honor of being a first-class model, Xu Zheng's children can be directly recommended to study in ordinary public security colleges and universities in the future.
For him personally, he can be promoted to the police rank in advance, and if he dies, his posthumous honor will be far greater than that of other colleagues. More importantly, his name will be recorded in the historical files of the Ministry of Public Security.
Also, in Gu Liangjun's words, he will only be 27 years old later this year and should be the youngest police officer to receive this honor in police history.
