Chapter 0001: A Difficult Case

Next Chapter

February 15, 1936, Hangzhou, No. 22 Taipingfang, meeting room of the Zhejiang Provincial Capital Police Department.

"Three days, three whole days! There are more than 2,000 people in the whole world, and no one has found even a trace of clues about the robbery and murder of the Cao family ancestral hall! Director Zhou Fengshan slapped the table with his palm, "Is Lao Tzu's annual millions of yuan spent on dogs?" ”

It's no wonder that Zhou Fengshan was furious, it was really this matter that embarrassed him too much.

Three days ago, a burglary and murder case occurred in the jurisdiction of the Second Sub-Bureau, the janitor of the Cao family ancestral hall was killed, and more than a dozen ancestral tablets inlaid with gold leaf were stolen.

The Cao family ancestral hall is the ancestral hall of Cao Huowang, deputy director of the Civil Affairs Department.

According to the system at that time, the police department of the provincial capital of Zhejiang was under the jurisdiction of the Zhejiang Civil Affairs Department. The funds and supplies of the provincial capital police station must be reviewed and allocated by Deputy Director Cao every month.

Now that Deputy Director Cao's ancestral tablet has been stolen and the janitor has been killed, how dare Zhou Fengshan snub? He personally sat in charge, transferred all the veterans in the bureau to solve the case, and at the same time released more than 2,000 police officers from the whole situation, and devoted all his strength to investigate the case.

But who would have thought that three days had passed, and seven or eight veterans who had solved the case plus more than 2,000 police officers had found nothing.

On Cao Huowang's side, he made several phone calls every day to inquire about the progress of the case. In the first two days, Deputy Director Cao was polite, but on the third day, when he heard that there was still no progress in the case, Deputy Director Cao finally couldn't hold back his anger and scolded Zhou Fengshan directly on the phone!

Zhou Fengshan naturally understood Cao Huowang's mood, because the longer the time dragged on, the greater the possibility that the ancestral tablet of the Cao family would be destroyed.

But understanding is understanding, as the number one person in the Zhejiang police circle, Zhou Fengshan is the first time he has been named and scolded by his mother, but he can't refute it.

So put down the phone, Zhou Fengshan immediately summoned the head of the bureau and seven or eight experts in solving the case to the conference room, and went straight to the frenzy.

The people in the conference room were silent, everyone lowered their heads, and no one dared to face Zhou Fengshan's anger.

This next week, Fengshan will be even more annoyed, "You are all dead, can't you?" Anyway! Believe it or not, you forced Lao Tzu to be anxious and took off all the dog skins on your bodies? ”

As soon as these words came out, Du Chenghu, the chief inspector who had just rushed back from Nanjing, knew that he could not be silent any longer. He was not afraid that the skin on his body would be peeled off, but that his old boss Zhou Fengshan was really anxious.

"Bureau," Du Chenghu said, "I think if you want to solve this case, you have to ask someone to come out." ”

"Who?" Zhou Fengshan's spirit was shocked, and his eyes were firmly fixed on Du Chenghu.

"Lin Jiangbei!" Du Chenghu replied word by word.

"Lin Jiangbei?" Zhou Fengshan felt that this name was very familiar, but he couldn't remember it all of a sudden.

"It is Lin Jiangbei, who graduated from the fourth phase of our Zhejiang Police Department and is currently being trained in the sixth phase of Class A of the Special Police Training Class of the Central Police Research Institute." Du Chenghu reminded in a low voice.

In addition to the director of the provincial capital police department, Zhou Fengshan also has a position, which is the principal of the Zhejiang Police Academy. Before Du Chenghu went to the Inspectorate of the Police Department as the chief inspector, he was the director of the Academic Affairs Office of the Police Academy.

Lin Jiangbei is the only one among the 79 students in the fourth phase of the Zhejiang Police Department who has achieved excellent results in all subjects, and because of his outstanding results, he was recommended to enter the Central Police Research Institute, that is, the sixth phase of the Hangzhou Special Police Training Class A of the well-known Intelligence Department of the Lixing Society.

As the principal of the police academy, Zhou Fengshan naturally heard the name of Lin Jiangbei, an honor student. It's just that the focus of his work is mainly on the side of the police station, and his impression of Lin Jiangbei is naturally not as deep as Du Chenghu, who personally presided over the teaching affairs at that time. At this time, after Du Chenghu's reminder, he naturally remembered it.

"So it's him?" Zhou Fengshan thought about it, but his heart was still full of doubts, "There are so many veterans in the bureau who solve cases, he is a student with only theoretical experience, even if his grades are excellent, can he do it?" ”

"Bureau," Du Chenghu said, "Do you remember the Japanese instructor Yamada Ichitaka who served as a criminal investigator at the police academy?" ”

"Do you mean Kazutaka Yamada, who served as the head of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department in Japan? How could I not remember? In order to invite him to come over and teach crime search, our police academy spent a sky-high price! It's a pity that he insisted on returning to China last year. Otherwise, this case will be found in him......"

Speaking of this, Zhou Fengshan couldn't help but sigh heavily, and his words were full of resentment and regret.

"Before Yamada returned to China, I had a meal with him." Du Chenghu said, "At the dinner table, when Lin Jiangbei was mentioned, Yamada Yilong was full of praise. It is said that Lin Jiangbei is a rare criminal investigation genius, and his attainments in criminal investigation far surpass him. The reason why he quit his instructor at the police academy and insisted on returning to China was because he often felt a sense of powerlessness that could not be taught when facing Lin Jiangbei! ”

"Huh? Is there such a thing? Is Lin Jiangbei really so powerful? Zhou Fengshan's eyes widened in disbelief.

"It's not just Yamada Kazutaka, who mentions Lin Jiangbei among the instructors of our police academy, don't say that he is a demon who is rare to see in a hundred years?" Du Chenghu shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Professor Mao Xian, you know, right?" The dignified professor of surgery at the School of Medicine of National Peking University, who came to our police academy to serve as a forensic instructor, was also shocked by Lin Jiangbei's talent in forensic science, saying that Lin Jiangbei alone could promote the level of forensic medicine in the Republic of China for at least 20 years. ”

"Since Lin Jiangbei is so powerful, why didn't you recommend it to me earlier?" Zhou Fengshan slapped the table heavily.

"Bureau, didn't I just come back from Nanjing?" Du Chenghu spread his hands helplessly and looked around the conference room, "Besides, I didn't expect that so many veterans in the bureau would ...... the case."

"Alright, don't say anything!" Zhou Fengshan waved his hand, "You leave with me immediately now and invite Lin Jiangbei over!" ”

*************

Hangcheng, Shangcangqiao, Zhejiang Police School.

In a brightly lit classroom, a middle-aged instructor in his early forties stood on a podium, holding a sketched portrait in his hand, and was furious at the more than 30 students in the audience.

"Look at Lin Jiangbei, what level is it? With just a few strokes, the characters are vividly outlined. Look at you guys again, what kind of shit are drawn? If you use your portraits to find Japanese spies and suspects, I'm afraid that the captors will be exhausted to death, and you won't be able to catch a figure, right? ”

The more than 30 students in the audience were scolded with red faces and red ears, but they did not dare to make a sound.

Although they have become official agents of the Intelligence Department since they entered the Hangzhou Type A special police training class of the Intelligence Department, no one dares to be presumptuous in front of this middle-aged instructor named Liang Dingming.

Because Liang Dingming is a great painter who is as famous as Xu Beihong and is known as the four masterpieces of painting, he is deeply respected by the leader. Even Duan Yinong, the director of the Intelligence Department, was respectful when he saw Liang Dingming, compared to what they were the pawns who had just joined the Intelligence Department.

At the same time, the second student sitting on the left side of the front row was secretly smiling bitterly.

Instructor Liang can be called a master in the world in painting, but he is a little low in terms of emotional intelligence. Isn't this roasting him on the fire?

This student is Lin Jiangbei, the author of Liang Dingming's sketch portrait, a native of Luocheng, Henan.

In the last life, Lin Jiangbei was a young and promising chief forensic physician and an outstanding party member of the Tianzhong Provincial Public Security Forensic Center, but he inexplicably traveled to the Republic of China and became a student of the fourth phase of the Zhejiang Police Academy. Then, because of his excellent results in all subjects, he was recommended to enter the Hangcheng special training class of the Intelligence Department for training, and also became a full member of the Intelligence Department.

From an outstanding party member in the previous life to an intelligence agent in this life, the span is too big. But for Lin Jiangbei, he couldn't choose.

Because the Zhejiang Police Academy itself is under the control of the Intelligence Department. In addition to Duan Yinong, director of the Intelligence Department, who personally served as a political commissioner in the Zhejiang Police, up to Zhou Fengshan, the principal of the Zhejiang Police, to the secretary of the commissioner's office, the director of the Academic Affairs Office, and the director of the Training Office, down to the captains and political instructors of the police academy, all of them were selected by Duan Yinong from the Intelligence Department.

In this case, if the intelligence department takes a fancy to a certain student of the Zhejiang police and intends to make him an official member of the intelligence department, he must not refuse!

Fortunately, Lin Jiangbei has gone through the experience of the previous life and knows that whether it is the Intelligence Department or the Party Affairs Office, there are many members of the underground party. The so-called being in Cao Ying's heart is in Han, since those underground party old-timers can do it, there is no reason why he can't do it when it's his turn.
