When Ling Xu saw this, he found that there was a gap on the file, so he asked Peng Zhengang what was going on? At this time, Jiang Yue walked over, pointed to the lines that Ling Xu had just finished reading and said: "The above ones are those that Shi Fanglei and they investigated, and in the more than two months from the case to Shi Fanglei's dismissal, Shi Fanglei and they found out such contents. ”

"Before you came, Political Commissar Peng praised you a lot, and said that you were as powerful as Sherlock Holmes, listening to what Political Commissar Peng said, Squadron Leader Huang and I were all full of expectations for you." As he spoke, Jiang Yue opened the material paper and pointed to the information behind him: "These materials are the clues that I investigated with Political Commissar Peng and Squadron Leader Huang, we have re-sorted out the entire case, you can take a closer look, you may be able to find out useful information." ”

"Political Commissar Peng is talking about fun, don't believe it." With a modest remark, Ling Xu continued to look through the dossier.

Mao Jinfeng was killed at 9:20 a.m. on 8 May, when he was driving a police car to a meeting at the county bureau, when the vehicle passed through the intersection of Xinshi Street in the county seat, the left front wheel of the police car suddenly burst a tire, and the vehicle lost control and hit a truck head-on, killing Mao Jinfeng on the spot.

After the accident, the truck driver Geng Demin was charged, and then the criminal police team and the traffic police brigade rushed to the scene to collect evidence, and checked the surveillance cameras near the intersection and the pictures taken by the truck dashcam, Shi Fanglei, the head of the criminal police brigade at the time, did not think much about it, thinking that it was just a traffic accident.

But just when Shi Fanglei was about to write the closing report, a member of the Third Squadron of the Criminal Police named Ren Changlu tried to restore the left front wheel of the punctured tire when sorting out the scene, but he accidentally found that there was an inconspicuous hole on the inside of the punctured tire, as if it had been pierced by an object such as a steel nail, in addition, there was a circle of not very obvious burn marks around the hole.

After this discovery, Ren Changlu immediately reported to Chen Xintang, the leader of the third squadron at the time, and heard the content of Ren Changlu's report, Chen Xintang immediately asked the people of the technical department to re-collect evidence on the police car driven by Mao Jinfeng.

There are three squadrons under the Pingjin County Criminal Police Brigade, each squadron has its own township in charge, and criminal cases occur in these townships, which are first reported by the police station to the squadron in charge, and after the squadron receives the case, they usually send people to investigate, if the nature of the case is too serious, and the squadron's ability cannot be detected, then they will be handed over to the brigade office, and the captain will set up a special team to accept the case.

The third squadron of the criminal police manages three towns and one township, and Chengguan Town happens to be the jurisdiction of the third squadron, and the intersection of Xinshi Street where Mao Jinfeng had an accident belongs to the jurisdiction of Chengguan Town.

After Chen Xintang investigated for two days, he handed over the case to the brigade office on the grounds that he was not capable of investigating and handling the case, and after the then captain Shi Fanglei took over the case, he immediately set up a special case team, which was personally led by Du Jiancheng, the instructor of the criminal police brigade, and investigated for a few days, Du Jiancheng did not gain anything, and after that, Shi Fanglei also applied to the criminal investigation detachment of the city bureau for support on the grounds that he was not capable of investigating and handling the case.

Jiang Yue was the instructor of the Second Brigade of the Municipal Criminal Investigation Detachment at that time, and after receiving the application of the Pingjin County Criminal Police Brigade, Hong Haijiang, the political commissar of the detachment, sent Jiang Yue to take people to Pingjin County to investigate the case, but he did not expect that when Jiang Yue led five subordinates to Pingjin County, Shi Fanglei handed over the file and led Jiang Yue and others to the scene, and then left it alone.

Suppressing the anger of Shi Fanglei, Jiang Yue took people from Pingjin County to investigate for a few days in an attitude of being responsible for the case, although Jiang Yue had the intention to find out the case, but they were not familiar with the place, and Shi Fanglei did not provide them with any help, after checking for a week, Jiang Yue did not find any clues, and had no choice but to return to the detachment to resume his life.

Ling Xu already knew what happened later, because the case could not be solved for a long time, the provincial/departmental and municipal bureaus ordered the Pingjin County Criminal Police Brigade to solve the case within a time limit, but Shi Fanglei failed to solve the case within the specified time limit, and was held accountable by the province/department, and Shi Fanglei, Du Jiancheng, and Chen Xintang were all dismissed.

After Peng Zhengang, Jiang Yue, and Huang Yanchen took over the case, they conducted an investigation around Mao Jinfeng's social circle, and made a list of people who had contradictions with Mao Jinfeng, and there were a total of 16 people on the list, all of whom were well-known figures in Pingjin County.

Seeing that no results could be found in this direction, Peng Zhengang and the three changed their strategy and launched an investigation from Mao Jinfeng's activities before he was killed, and as a result, Peng Zhengang found out one thing, Mao Jinfeng had led a team to seize the Haojue Business Hotel in the county before the accident, and Yu Shansen, the chairman of the hotel, was criminally detained on suspicion of opening a gambling/court from the hotel.

Since the detention center of the Pingjin County Bureau has been merged into the city bureau, all the suspects in the county who have been criminally detained are held in the city detention center, and once they are sent to the city detention center, then the county bureau cannot supervise and dispose of the detainees, in other words, as long as the suspect is sent to the city detention center, the county bureau has no right to decide on the release or reduction of the suspect.

Before Yu Shansen was detained, Cao Shangru had called Mao Jinfeng and asked him to open up to Shansen, leave Yu Shansen's matter to the county bureau to solve, and don't send him to the city, but Mao Jinfeng did not carry out Cao Shangru's order, and still sent Shansen to the Jinan City Detention Center.

But at this juncture, someone came out with a news, Mao Jinfeng found a briefcase when cleaning up Yu Shansen's office, which contained a list and more than a dozen recordings, which were secretly recorded by Yu Shansen when he was bribed, in order to leave a hole card for himself at a critical time, but he didn't expect those things to be obtained by Mao Jinfeng, Mao Jinfeng wanted to hand it over to the discipline / inspection / department / door after reading the things in the briefcase.

After Ling Xu saw this, there was a hint of thought on his face, looking at Ling Xu's expression, Peng Zhengang's expression was a little solemn: "You also thought of it?" ”

After speaking, Peng Zhengang paused, and then continued: "It is said that Cao Shangru's name is on that list, perhaps this is also the reason why Shi Fanglei, Du Jiancheng, and Chen Xintang are unwilling to investigate the case deeply. ”

Ling Xu pondered for a moment, then asked, "Can this matter be confirmed?" ”

After hearing this, Peng Zhengang waved his hand at Huang Yanchen, and after a while, Huang Yanchen handed a list of calls to Ling Xu: "I secretly investigated the call records of Cao Ju and found that he had very frequent contact with Yu Shansen, on the day Yu Shansen was detained by Mao Jinfeng, Cao Ju made 8 calls to Mao Jinfeng, and after Yu Shansen was detained, Cao Ju made 15 calls to Mao Jinfeng in one day, which is very unreasonable." ”

Hearing this, Ling Xu nodded, he didn't speak, but read all the information in the file, and looked at the photos again, and finally, he returned the file to Jiang Yue, and said in a deep voice: "You are responsible for investigating that briefcase to see if the list and recording exist?" As for me, I'll check Cao Shangru......"
