Chapter 360: The situation escalates again
In the interrogation room, Xu Lang was silent again because he was not questioning.
Xu Lang and several of them had ugly faces, especially Xu Lang, who did not get any useful clues from Chang Hongyun, and what he said was the information that the police already had, and if they continued to interrogate, the effect was not great, Xu Lang and they had to start from other aspects to obtain new evidence, and this was also a matter of no choice.
"That's all for today."
After being silent for a long time, Xu Lang finally spoke.
Ding Haoqiong and Lai Pi's faces were gloomy, silently packing up the materials on the interrogation table and preparing to leave.
"Officer Xu, may I ask when I can leave?"
Chang Hongyun raised his wrist and looked at the valuable watch on his wrist and asked.
Watches are a symbol of a man's wealth, just like women will buy a lot of jewelry and luxury goods to dress themselves up, perhaps, some rich people don't like to drive luxury cars, live in villas, and dress very plainly, but their temperament and watches are very particular, Chang Hongyun's watch is worth a lot of money, if Xu Lang their current income, it is estimated that it will take many years to afford such a piece.
"Until the problem is investigated, you can only stay here for the time being." Xu Lang said lightly.
"Officer Xu, let me remind you, I am a law-abiding person, if you have evidence to prove that I have committed a crime, I don't have any opinion on arresting me, but now you have no evidence in your hands, you can only detain me for twenty-four hours, and now, it has been almost twenty-four hours since I was arrested, can I go?" Chang Hongyun said in a flat tone.
Hearing this, Xu Lang stopped, turned his head, looked at Chang Hongyun, and found that the other party was looking at him with a smile.
"Don't worry, we'll find evidence, by the way, I forgot to tell you, your detention has been extended, it's forty-eight hours now, and of course, if we find new clues and evidence, we can extend the detention time again." Xu Lang said with a smile.
Chang Hongyun didn't speak anymore, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and his face became gloomy, obviously, he was very dissatisfied with this result.
"Rest well, we'll talk to you again."
After saying this, Xu Lang took Ding Haoqiong and them out of the interrogation room, leaving Chang Hongyun to sit alone in the interrogation room.
————
Walking out of the interrogation room and coming to the office area, Xu Lang slammed the documents in his hand on the desk, and shouted loudly: "Damn, come to this with Lao Tzu, this old fox." ”
The interrogation was inconclusive, Xu Lang was very irritable and annoyed, this is normal, in fact, not only Xu Lang is like this, but also Ding Haoqiong and Lai Pi who participated in the interrogation.
Lai Pi looked at the angry Xu Lang, thought for a while, and said, "Brother Lang, haven't they already confessed to Chen Zhen, you can let them testify against Chang Hongyun, see how he still quibbles?" ”
Xu Lang didn't speak, raised his head, and glanced at Lai Pi.
Ding Haoqiong shook his head and said on the side: "This is the most direct way, but we can think of it, Chang Hongyun will definitely think of it, he must have thought about how to deal with it, I am worried that if we do this, not only will we not achieve the expected results, but also let him find our flaws and make us completely fall into a passive situation." ”
"Is it just going to go on like this? After forty-eight hours, you let him go? Lai Pi was also excited.
As soon as Lai Pi's words came out, Ding Haoqiong stopped talking, they all knew one thing very well, that is, if they didn't find new and powerful evidence to prove Chang Hongyun's guilt in the next 24 hours, when the forty-eight hours came, whether Xu Lang wanted to or not, they would have to release the person, and releasing the person was a very simple matter, but if you want to arrest Chang Hongyun again, there must be sufficient evidence, not just a few words that can be solved by suspecting.
In addition, let Chang Hongyun go, with his ability and experience, what if he takes the opportunity to abscond? Chang Hongyun may not choose to do this until the police find sufficient and strong evidence, but this possibility cannot be ruled out, in many previous cases, it is not that similar things have not happened, if it really comes to this time, it is very difficult to arrest Chang Hongyun.
"Evidence, evidence, we still have to find sufficient evidence."
Xu Lang said helplessly.
Lai Pi and Ding Haoqiong glanced at each other, and they both saw the worry in each other's eyes.
Xu Lang gradually calmed down, and he asked Ding Haoqiong, "Has the investigation of Chang Hongyun's company been conducted?" ”
"Oh, Luo Jiayan has already brought someone there, and the police department has also intervened in the investigation, and the customs have also notified it." Ding Haoqiong said.
Xu Lang nodded, just do it, I hope there will be results.
"By the way, how is Chang Hongyun's bodyguard interrogating?" Xu Lang asked again.
Lai Pi shook his head and said, "After the interrogation, there was no result, he didn't say a word and chose to be silent. ”
Hearing this, Xu Lang's eyes dimmed a little, obviously, it is not realistic to open a breakthrough from Chang Hongyun's bodyguard Yu Liang, if he can take Yu Liang so easily, Chang Hongyun will not take the initiative to mention Yu in the interrogation just now
Liang, and Dong Wenzhuo, Chang Hongyun's other bodyguard, is still lying in the hospital, unconscious, and he is the person closest to Chang Hongyun, so he should know a lot of things, but he is also in a coma now, otherwise, it will be a good way to open a breakthrough from him.
In fact, Dong Wenzhuo's arrest, Xu Lang felt that Chang Hongyun should be planning to abandon the pawn and protect the car, and Dong Wenzhuo has not been with Chang Hongyun for a long time, so he shouldn't know much, otherwise, he would not arrange for Dong Wenzhuo to leave with Chen Yuzhen and Chen Zhen, of course, if Dong Wenzhuo wakes up, then everything is easy to say, the key is that he is unconscious now.
The problem of Song Jin and others is now basically clear, and the facts of their crimes, in the Changkuai company where they work, as well as their residence, and according to their confessions, the evidence found by the police is enough to prosecute them, but if they want to prove Chang Hongyun's guilt through these evidences, it is still not possible.
First, the activities they are engaged in in smuggling and trafficking of wild protected animals do not have any literal documents, and they pay attention to paying money with one hand and delivering goods with one hand, and the goods are brought directly to S City by Song Jinzhong from Hengtong County, and directly handed over to Chang Hongyun and their hands, as for the money, it is directly given in cash, and these money are directly in the hands of Chen Zhen, and the money is not given by Chang Hongyun in person, but someone specially sent it over, and the people who send money are different every time, Chen Zhen doesn't know what these people are called. Naturally, they could not be found.
Second, Song Jinzhong is more like an intermediary, responsible for the intermediate links, as for other things, they don't know much, even if there is a lot of evidence now that these things are related to Chang Hongyun, but Chang Hongyun is only suspicious.
Now, if you want to make Chang Hongyun confess, there are only four ways.
First, open a breakthrough from Chang Hongyun himself, and this method, Xu Lang and they tried just now, obviously it didn't work.
Second, open a breakthrough from the people around Chang Hongyun, but the people who are very close to Chang Hongyun, except for the employees of his company and two bodyguards, there is no one else, and the two bodyguards, one is silent, not a word, the other is unconscious, as for the employees of his company, there are many people, and it takes time to investigate, and time is exactly what Xu Lang lacks most now, and Chang Hongyun's relatives, his wife and children have been abroad very early, and they have been living abroad for many years, and they have not come back for many years. Even if Xu Lang and they let their relatives come back, it is estimated that the effect will not be great, not to mention, it will take time to contact them and let them come back, and more importantly, they are no longer the nationality of Huaxiaguo, which will bring new obstacles to the police.
Third, it is to find evidence of Chang Hongyun's criminal activities in a short period of time, however, it also takes time.
Fourth, find Uncle Li and his group and start from the source, as long as Uncle Li and others are arrested and explain the problem, then Chang Hongyun will definitely not be able to escape.
There seem to be many solutions, but either it doesn't work, or there is a lack of time, which makes Xu Lang feel very helpless and powerless.
Since Xu Lang came back from Chenjiahe Village, he has been busy investigating these things, and he has actually been worried about the progress of Tian Yongchun and their side, however, so far, there is still no new progress on Tian Yongchun's side, and they have not found Uncle Li and others, as for Chen Guodong, the people of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection have been working intensively, and Chen Guodong has also taken the initiative to explain the facts of his crime, but about Chang Hongyun, he only knows that there is this person, and he doesn't know what Chang Hongyun is doing.
Passive Xu Lang They are very passive, and the investigation has also reached an impasse.
In addition to the fact that Chang Hongyun's affairs have not progressed, there is another thing that makes Xu Lang feel big.
The bones found in the cave in Chenjiahe Village have been as high as fifty-two, and the autopsy of the forensic doctor Qin Mingyue and other forensic doctors showed that these deceased were all women, and they all had a history of childbirth, which shows that fifty-two women have been killed, and this is still judged by the police according to the corpses, in addition to these fifty-two who have been killed, there are no other victims, it is not clear for the time being, however, Xu Lang can be sure that there are still victims.
A case, with so many victims, is unheard of, and it is also the case with the largest number of deaths in S City in recent years, who are they? Where do they come from? What was your occupation? None of this is known.
Now, except for knowing that these victims are all women, they are not very old, the youngest is only sixteen years old, and the oldest is only in his early thirties, and there is no way to know the others, and, according to the results of the forensic autopsy, the time of death of these victims occurred in the past two years, and the most recent corpse was half a month ago, that is, before Chen Qiumin was killed.
At the scene where the corpses were found, their belongings were not found, and no documents were found that could prove their identities, so it was impossible to quickly determine the source of the corpses and find clues based on the source of the corpses.
Of the fifty-two corpses, except for three corpses that were charred by the fire, some of the other corpses were already ossified, some were highly decomposed, and only a small part still retained some of the physical characteristics of their previous lives, but it was also difficult to determine their identities through this information.
Of course, the easiest way is to use technical means to do 3D face technology restoration, but it also takes time, and it is a lot of time.
And with the successive big actions of the police in recent days, even ordinary citizens have noticed that something is wrong, not to mention those media reporters, although the relevant departments have done the corresponding work, but, about the fire in Chenjiahe Village, the explosion time of the office building of the Hengtong County Public Security Bureau, and the arrest and investigation of Chen Guodong, the former director of the Hengtong County Public Security Bureau, have also been reported in the news one after another, and the news about the whole village of Chenjiahe Village participating in criminal activities has not been reported for the time being, but Xu Lang knows, It will definitely not be long before this matter will be reported.
If this news is reported, it will cause a great social sensation and a wave of public opinion.
Murder cases are not uncommon, but vicious cases like Chenjiahe Village are unprecedented, and once they are reported, the impact can be imagined.
The bombing of the office building of the public security bureau in a county town has been very unfavorable to the image of the police, and it was the former director who carried out the explosion, which is even more unfavorable, and if the people know that in a small mountain village, not only the whole village commits a crime together, but also smuggling wild protected animals, trafficking infants, murder, surrogacy and so on, then, what kind of terrible consequences this will cause, Xu Lang does not dare to think.
As the investigation of the case deepened, the more Xu Lang knew, the more uncomfortable he felt, and at the same time, he also felt terrified, whenever he thought of Chenjiahe Village, he felt as if he had returned to a primitive society, human life, in that village, was like a cargo, an object, a piece of garbage, so worthless.
Xu Lang used to think that the evil of human nature, no matter how evil, would have a bottom line, but in the case of Chenjiahe Village, Xu Lang did not see the bottom line, the only bottom line is that there is no bottom line, morality, conscience, and law are all there, Xu Lang really doesn't believe that he lives in a new era.
————
After interrogating Chang Hongyun, Xu Lang and the others began to focus their investigation on Chang Hongyun, and everyone was very busy.
In the afternoon, Xu Lang suddenly received a call from Tian Yongchun.
On the phone, Tian Yongchun told Xu Lang one good news and two other bad news.
The good news is that they have finally found the hiding place of the villagers of Chenjiahe Village, which is indeed in a secret base left over from history deep in the mountains.
One of the bad news is that although they found the hiding place of the villagers, when they carried out the arrest, there were problems, first, the large number of opponents hindered the arrest operation, and second, they could not be sure for the time being, whether all the villagers were involved in the criminal acts, and it was impossible to give the order to arrest and shoot them on the spot, so there was a stalemate and confrontation.
In the process of confrontation, there was a shootout between the two sides, the battle lasted for a long time, there were many dead and wounded, not only the police died, but also many villagers died, the fighting has subsided, most of the villagers have been killed or arrested, most of them are women and children, and some villagers have chosen to flee, and the police have launched a pursuit.
The second bad news is that in the process of confrontation and fighting, the police did not find Uncle Li and Chen Qiang, and it was the village chief Chen Weiguo who commanded the resistance, and Chen Weiguo had been killed by the armed police on the spot.
After knowing that there were weapons hidden in the cave, Tian Yongchun and Director Du had urgently mobilized troops to participate in the battle after discussion, and the central side also knew about this and had sent special personnel to the scene.
After hearing the news, Xu Lang's mood at that time was not only shocked but also shocked.
He thought that the police would find the villagers of Chenjiahe Village, and he also thought that the other party would resist in the process of arrest, but Xu Lang never thought that there would be a battle, it was incredible, this was a peaceful era, there was actually a battle, what did it mean, Xu Lang knew very well in his heart.
Tian Yongchun did not elaborate on the number of casualties on the phone, but from Tian Yongchun's tone, Xu Lang could hear that the number of casualties was certainly not a small number, otherwise, there would not have been armed police, special police, criminal police, and people's police, and troops would have to be mobilized to participate in the battle, and the central government would not have sent people over at the first time.
However, this sudden battle was quelled, although the cost was very high, Xu Lang should be happy, but he still couldn't be happy, because, in addition to the people who were killed and arrested on the spot, there were also a small number of people who absconded with guns, they are now a group of lost dogs, it is extremely dangerous, if they are not captured or killed as soon as possible, once they are allowed to flee the mountain, then, the damage caused is very serious, Xu Lang thought of this, Tian Yongchun must have also thought of it, Xu Lang believed that he would be able to handle this matter.
There is another point that Xu Lang is most concerned about at present, that is, the disappearance of Chen Qiang and Uncle Li, where did they go? Where is it now? What are you doing? This is the key, if you don't find them as soon as possible, Xu Lang is worried that there will be new changes, and solving this series of cases as soon as possible is the top priority, as for other things, how the follow-up superior leaders will deal with the aftermath is not something Xu Lang should think about now.
