June 27th

"What? Why do you say that if you don't let it be checked, you won't let it be checked? We worked so hard to check before, is it all in vain? Ge Bin shouted.

Just after 8:30 a.m. on June 27, in the small conference room on the fourth floor of the Shibei Police Station, Deputy Director Cui was convening a meeting of Huang Fangyuan and his group.

Early in the morning, Xu Wenbiao, the captain of the criminal investigation detachment, called Deputy Director Cui and informed him that because the murder case of Beijiang Middle School was in urgent need of manpower, the leaders of the bureau decided to let Huang Fangyuan and them withdraw from the special case team of the series of knock-on cases, and instead devote themselves to the investigation and handling of the homicide case of Beijiang Middle School, and assist the serious crime team of the sub-bureau to carry out their work under the guidance of the criminal investigation team. The previous series of knock-on projects were temporarily shelved due to the lack of progress. That's why Ge Bin shouted loudly in the conference room.

"We've finally made some progress in our previous case, so why do we have to look into another case? Didn't the murder case of Beijiang Middle School have Lao Tang and his team assisting the task force in the investigation? Ge Bin couldn't understand the leader's decision, "If they really lack manpower, can't they still transfer the community police to help?" Isn't it natural to let the police from the community policing group in charge of Bac Giang Middle School assist in handling the case? ”

"If you want to say that it is right, your group should take it even more seriously." In the face of Ge Bin, who reacted so fiercely, Deputy Director Cui said sharply, "It's good that Beijiang Middle School is under the jurisdiction of the community police, but it is also within the jurisdiction of your area of responsibility, and you, as the police in the area of responsibility, should take over the case." ”

"But ......," Ge Bin wanted to continue arguing.

"Don't talk about it." Huang Fangyuan stopped Ge Bin with his words, "We should obey the leader's arrangement." ”

After finishing speaking, Huang Fangyuan took a few puffs of his cigarette. In fact, he was also very unconvinced, and he was harboring a fire in his heart. But in front of the juniors, he had to refrain from having a seizure, so he had to keep smoking violently.

Huang Fangyuan and others joined the special task force of the Beijiang Middle School homicide case on the same day. Since the place where the crime occurred was within the jurisdiction of the Shibei Police Station, Huang Fangyuan noticed that since yesterday afternoon, personnel from the Criminal Investigation Corps of the Municipal Bureau have been stationed in the small conference room on the fourth floor of the police station. Sure enough, the on-site command of this case was set up at the Shibei Police Station. In addition, yesterday morning, Deputy Director Cui and others were summoned to a meeting of the sub-bureau, mainly to participate in the first case analysis and discussion meeting of this case.

In a series of investigations carried out in the early stage, thanks to the full cooperation of the informant, the investigators of the criminal squad, with the full cooperation of Lao Tang and his group, and after one day and two nights of hard work, have determined that a certain student studying at Beijiang Middle School is suspected of committing a major crime. They took a screenshot of the student's facial image captured by the surveillance camera at the school gate on the day of the crime, and took it to the teachers and students of the second grade of junior high school for identification, thus confirming the identity of the student. The suspect's name is Hu Yong, a student in the second (3rd) class of the school. However, because Hu Yong has not been to school since the incident, and he has not even been absent from the final exam, the teachers and students at the school do not know his specific whereabouts.

The police officers who handled the case searched all the places he frequented on weekdays, but found nothing, and even his parents could not contact him. They also carefully reviewed the surveillance footage around the school after the incident to determine Hu Yong's escape route. However, due to the limited coverage of the probe, he was never seen again after he was finally caught entering a small area. Now, the first task in front of Huang Fangyuan and them is to find out the whereabouts of the student and arrest him.

According to another clue that the task force had grasped in advance -- Hu Yong was very addicted to the Internet and often skipped class to play online games in Internet cafes on weekdays -- it was decided to carry out a carpet search of the major Internet cafes in the jurisdiction, and perhaps he could trace his whereabouts.

In accordance with the roster provided by the public security detachment of the Jiangbei District Public Security Bureau, the special case group sorted out all the Internet cafes in the Shibei Police Station's area and adjacent jurisdictions, divided them into key areas for visits, and sorted out priority levels, and then divided all the personnel that can be mobilized at present into several units in groups of two to arrange for the implementation of their respective visit tasks.

Huang Fangyuan was tasked with visiting several key Internet cafes in the area under the jurisdiction of the Paimo Shibei Police Station, including several Internet cafes around the community where Hu Yong had last lost his trace during the previous surveillance and tracking.

Since Hu Yong had not yet received his ID card, the members of the task force suspected that he might have fraudulently used another person's ID card to go to an Internet café to register for the Internet. However, in the process of preliminary verification, they checked all the people around Hu Yong who may have been impersonated by him, and found that none of them had recently registered for Internet access at Internet cafes. As a result, the members of the task force also thought that in order to make a profit, some Internet cafes would provide Internet access services for them even knowing that they were minors, and even provide them with ID cards to register for Internet access. In addition to the purpose of making money, this kind of behavior is mainly to cope with the inspection of law enforcement officers and evade punishment. It is precisely for this reason that the task force has no choice but to dispatch a number of personnel to carry out a carpet door-to-door search of these Internet cafes one by one.

At around 7:30 p.m. that night, Huang Fangyuan and Ge Bin successfully captured Hu Yong, who was selflessly typing on the keyboard and mouse, in a private Internet café hidden in the community. This neighborhood is exactly where Hu Yong disappeared a day ago. When he was arrested, Hu Yong looked surprised when he faced the police who suddenly appeared in front of him, as if he never expected that the police would find him.

Under the instruction of the leaders of the special case group, the Shibei Police Station carried out interrogation of Hu Yong overnight.

In the interrogation room, Huang Fangyuan and Lin Xuan sat at the interrogation table, and there was a computer on the table, which was used by the police handling the case to make records. Hu Yong sat across from them with his head drooped, and the long battle in online games made him a little sluggish and listless at the moment. Since Hu Yong was only 14 years old and a minor, the police found his parents. His interrogation was also carried out in the presence of his parents.

"Do you know why we brought you to the police station?" Lin Xuan asked.

The interrogation lasted nearly half an hour.

Hu Yong kept his head down and clasped his hands on his knees. Hearing the policeman's questioning, he didn't raise his head, but just shook his head gently.

"Why didn't you go to school these two days? Didn't even take the final exam? Lin Xuan continued to ask.

"I don't want to go to school, I can't do those exam questions at all, and it's in vain to go." Hu Yong still lowered his head, but this time he answered the policeman's question, and his voice was very calm.

"Did you know you were in trouble?" Lin Xuan asked again.

Hu Yong nodded and said softly: "I know it's wrong, and I won't steal my parents' money to play games online in the future." ”

In the face of such a "surrender", Lin Xuan seemed a little crying and laughing, he turned his head to look at Huang Fangyuan, as if he was asking him for help. He really didn't know how to go on trial. Obviously, Hu Yong's "acting skills" are too good, and he has met a strong opponent.

Huang Fangyuan was also frowning at the moment. Since entering the interrogation room, he has been carefully observing Hu Yong's every move. His reaction was too calm, unusually calm, neither stubbornly resisting, nor immediately confessing, and always remained silent. This silence is very different from the relief shown by suspects in other major criminal cases after they are caught, and is more like a fearless and respectful attitude.
