Chapter 32: Case Progress
Qiu Yeming is the chief of the police department of XX City, and he has been sitting in such a position since he was in his early 30s, which can be said to be the time of the spring breeze in life. However, recently, he couldn't eat or sleep because of a case.
Here's how it happened: some time ago, there was a homicide in the city of XX. The location is on the Feilong Bridge not far from XXXX University. Because the murder occurred in the vicinity of the university, it attracted wide attention from the public and the media. In order to increase the public's trust in the police station, Qiu Yeming boasted about Haikou on the spot at a press conference. It was promised that the police would quickly crack the case within a week and give the people an explanation.
In fact, the deceased in the case was just a ruffian who often moved around the local area. People don't care too much about the case itself. Rather, there is a large part of those who have been persecuted by the ruffians of the land who secretly rejoice. What everyone is more concerned about is the cause of this case and its internal connection. Will there be a safety impact on the surrounding residents and students at the school?
However, what Qiu Yeming never expected was that. The XX City Police Department, which is usually powerful, has hit a wall this timeγγγγγγ
Originally, he didn't think too much about it. I thought it was just an ordinary case like before, but with my years of experience and the excellent ability of the police department to solve the case. It should be easy to call it a day.
But......
A week passed without the slightest progress in the case. I don't know if it was accidental or artificial, the monitoring equipment on the Feilong Bridge was damaged that night. As a result, the police department was unable to view the footage from the bridge that night. There were no traces left on the murder weapon, and no fingerprints were found. There is not even a trace of a fight on the bridge, which makes people wonder if the deceased jumped on his own!
After the autopsy report came out, the police determined the time of death of the deceased that night. However, no witnesses were found.
In the end, the police really had no other way. We started with people who had conflicts with the deceased in the recent past and had a motive to kill, and checked all the relevant people with motives to kill. However, everyone has an alibi.
Seeing that it has been almost two weeks, there has been no progress in the case, but Qiu Yeming praised Haikou again at the press conference. The media didn't do it, and immediately picked up the promise that Qiu Yeming had said a week ago, and wrote it in the newspaper: Director Qiu of XX City praised Haikou, and it was difficult to judge the case.
Qiu Yeming glanced at the newspaper on the table, sighed helplessly, and his intestines were full of regret. I was annoyed by my behavior at that time.
But regret is regret, but this case still has to be decided. Qiu Yeming lit a cigarette, took a puff gently, and leaned back in his chair. Sorting out his thoughts in his head, looking for a breakthrough in the case.
Suddenly, his eyes were drawn to the calendar on the table. The calendar doesn't show today's date, it's a calendar left over from his previous director. Because he respects the old director very much, Qiu Yeming has never moved the calendar on the table, and he still maintains the same appearance as when the old director left.
In the corner of the calendar is written a sentence: "Look at the problem outside the box and look at the big picture." These are the words that the old director left for Qiu Yeming when he left.
"Look outside the box and see the big picture... Qiu Yeming silently recited these words in his mouth, his fingers kept tapping his knees, thinking about the meaning.
Suddenly, Qiu Yeming seemed to think of something, and his eyes lit up. Immediately snuff out the unfinished cigarette in his hand in the ashtray and take out a stack of papers. This is the recent criminal file of XX City, which was specially sorted out by Qiu Yeming.
Qiu Yeming quickly flipped through the archives, looking for them at a glance. In the end, Qiu Yeming took out a few pages and put them on the table to study them carefully. Gradually, a look of surprise and excitement emerged.
"Sure enough!" Qiu Yeming looked at the pages that he pulled out, and felt that he had gradually found a breakthrough in the case.
"Director Qiu!" At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in. Qiu Yeming raised his head slightly and called.
A young man dressed in a police uniform pushed open the door and walked in.
"What's the matter?" Qiu Yeming hurriedly asked without waiting for the other party to close the door.
"Chief, the witness has been found!" said the young policeman as he closed the door, his face excited.
"What witnesses? β
"Oh! What kind of eyewitness could it be, it's the eyewitness to the 'Flying Dragon Bridge Murder Case'!" the young police officer was anxious, patted his thigh, and hurriedly said.
"Oh, is it?" Qiu Yeming was happy in his heart, and felt that the case was getting more and more eyebrow-raising.
"You go and take that witness to the interrogation room. Also, help me gather everyone. I happened to find something interesting here. Qiu Yeming folded the pieces of paper he took out and said to the young officer.
Different from his calm tone, Qiu Yeming's heart was magnificent at the moment: Look at it, murderer. I, Qiu Yeming, will definitely pull you out with my own hands!

"Senior Sister Wang Yao, your red coat is so beautiful! What brand is it? Did you buy it online?" On the stairs of the bishop's building, a group of freshman girls surrounded a senior red-clothed senior sister, asking questions all the way.
"Thanks, though. You can't buy this, my mom made it for me. The girl known as Wang Yao replied with a smile. It was the sophomore sister who led Lin Peng to the freshman dormitory at that time.
"Wow~ Senior sister's mother is so amazing!" Several girls cast admiring and envious glances.
"No, my family runs a tailor's shop. As long as there are good fabrics, it is not difficult to make one or two beautiful clothes. Looking at this group of innocent and lovely elementary school girls, Wang Yao covered her lips with her hands and smiled.
"Haha, if you want to, you can tell Senior Sister Wang Yao. Order a few pieces from your Senior Sister Wang's house, Senior Sister will definitely make it cheaper for you!" At this time, the young man who was walking in front of everyone turned around and said with a smile.
"Oh, Mr. Gu, you're kidding me again!" Wang Yao suddenly stomped his foot in a panic.
"I'm also taking care of your family's business, do you think my face looks like a joke?" Gu Qingyuan deliberately stretched his face, pretending to be serious, causing the girls below to laugh.
"Really, I won't tell you!" Wang Yao looked away with blushing cheeks, said in a coquettish voice, and walked quickly upstairs.
"Oh, Teacher Gu bullied the senior sister!" the girls immediately began to coax.
"Hey, hey, don't talk nonsense. I just made a small joke, it's your senior sister Wang Yao who is too nervous. Gu Qingyuan hurriedly waved his hand and said with a smile.
"Hey, don't you think Teacher Gu is very handsome?" In the crowd, a girl pulled another girl next to her and whispered.
"Of course! Mr. Gu is only 28 years old this year, and he is funny and approachable. The principal placed his trust in him and held important positions in both the student council and the club. I've heard that this year's admissions officer is just him!"
"Wow, that's amazing. β
"Is that the principal?" I don't know who said it, this time even Gu Qingyuan heard it and looked around. I saw Principal Liang walking with a man in a suit.
"Teacher Gu, Teacher Gu?" Looking at Gu Qingyuan's sudden serious expression, a group of girls became overwhelmed.
"Ahh Gu Qingyuan immediately turned around and regained the smile on his face full of spring just now.
"Really, the teacher will pretend to be poor. β
"What's the matter, the teacher is really poor~"
The group laughed and disappeared into the dark corridorγγγγγγ
