On the afternoon of June 25

At around 11 o'clock in the afternoon, Huang Fangyuan, who had just left Shibei Hospital, immediately drove back to the Shibei Police Station after receiving a call from Lin Xuan. However, halfway through the car, Huang Fangyuan received a call from Lin Xuan again, and was told that because Deputy Director Xia wanted to communicate with the media in person, Deputy Director Cui had already taken a reporter from Pujiang Evening News to the sub-bureau and asked him to rush there as soon as possible.

At half past one in the afternoon, Huang Fangyuan sat in the conference room of the criminal investigation detachment of the Jiangbei District Public Security Bureau, where the official reception of Pujiang Evening News reporters was held. Previously, in order to ease the atmosphere between each other, Deputy Director Xia also personally invited the media to have lunch in the large canteen of the sub-bureau. At present, in addition to Deputy Director Xia, Deputy Director Cui of the Shibei Police Station, Huang Fangyuan and Wang Xiangrui, there are also Captain Xu of the Criminal Investigation Detachment and Captain Qi of the Serious Crime Team, as well as some of the criminal police officers involved in the investigation of this case. In addition, the director of the Political Division and the Chief of the Publicity Section of the Department responsible for external publicity and reception of the sub-bureau were also present at the scene.

Deputy Director Xia answered every question from the reporters and patiently explained to them. On the premise that public security secrets are not involved, the investigation work currently being carried out by the criminal investigation detachment and the police station was fully explained.

After more than two hours of Zhou Xuan, a reporter from the Pujiang Evening News said that they would not publish a report on the case for the time being, but they would follow up on the progress of the case at any time.

After sending off the media reporters, it was already 4 o'clock in the afternoon. Deputy Director Xia summoned everyone except the Political Department to continue the meeting. The atmosphere at the venue was extremely serious, and everyone held their breath.

"Old Xu, what's going on? Haven't the people in your team been in contact with the victims' families all the time and are doing work, why did they suddenly go to the media? Although Deputy Director Xia spoke in a low voice and in a relatively flat tone, everyone present could hear the questioning element in his tone.

Lao Xu, Xu Wenbiao, the head of the criminal investigation detachment, 51 years old, has also been working in the grassroots criminal investigation post for many years. I don't have much desire for leadership positions, but God seems to favor him very much, and the journey from police to leader can be described as smooth. Originally, he just wanted to spend his term of office peacefully - not seeking merit, but seeking no fault - seeing that his term of office will expire in less than a year, he is glad that all kinds of public security and criminal cases in his tenure are relatively stable, and there are no major and vicious cases. He also felt pressure in the face of repeated instructions from his superiors to solve the case as soon as possible.

Deputy Director Xia paused and continued: "The continuous occurrence of homicide cases, and the modus operandi is basically the same, and the location of the crime is not fixed, which has formed a hot spot in our Jiangbei District, which has caused uneasiness among many residents, and all kinds of rumors have also come one after another. The lack of progress in the case is already a great difficulty, and if it is reported by the municipal media again, how serious will the consequences be? We will be the center of attention of the whole city, and we will also cause panic among the people of the whole city. Have you ever thought of such consequences? ”

"It's because we didn't do our job well and didn't do a good job of communicating and explaining to our families. As a leader, I did not supervise the work of my subordinates and had to take some responsibility. Captain Xu Wenbiao made a sincere review.

"Now is not the time for a review, think about what to do next." Deputy Director Xia calmed down his emotions for a while, "Let's talk about the next work measures." ”

"First of all, we must send someone to communicate with the family of the victim Li Gendi, and do a good job of comforting and explaining......" Xu Wenbiao reported to the leader while thinking about the next step.

"It would be better for the families of several other victims to visit together to prevent similar incidents from happening again." Deputy Director Xia interjected and gave further instructions, "In order to prevent the transmission of bad feelings, by the way, I will touch the bottom again to see if the families of several victims still have contact with the media in private." ”

"Okay. I will arrange for someone to implement it as soon as possible. After Captain Xu Wenbiao replied solemnly, he continued to report, "Regarding the investigation of the case, our work at present is still continuing to find clues to the suspect. The Shibei Police Station has made some progress before, and although it turned out that it was not the suspect who was caught, which seemed to be a waste of time and police resources, it was not a completely meaningless operation for us. At the very least, we ruled out one case and narrowed the scope of the investigation. We're going to focus on the first and third cases......"

"Lao Xu, I'm sorry, I'll interrupt again." Deputy Director Xia interjected again, "Before going to the city bureau meeting in the morning, you called me and told me that the suspect in the second case had been caught, right?" I didn't have a chance to hear your report in a hurry, so let's talk about the specific situation now. ”

"The person was caught by Lao Huang, he knows best, let him talk about it." Xu Wenbiao pointed at Huang Fangyuan. Deputy Director Xia nodded, and then began to listen carefully to Huang Fangyuan's report.

The meeting lasted for nearly two hours, and the time had reached 5:53 p.m., in the conference room of the Criminal Investigation Detachment of the Jiangbei District Public Security Bureau, under the chairmanship of Deputy Director Xia, the meeting continued. At this time, Deputy Director Cui received a phone call, and the phone number showed that it was from the director of the Shibei Police Station. The content of the phone was not long, and only a few short words were spoken on the other end, but Deputy Director Cui's face instantly turned pale. After hanging up the phone, he quietly got up and walked to Captain Xu's side, bent down and whispered in his ear. The meeting in the conference room was interrupted for a while.

At this moment, the mobile phone in Huang Fangyuan's pants pocket also vibrate. He pulled out his phone and glanced at it, then answered it.

"Boss, how's the media interview?" Lin Xuan's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"I was scolded so bloody." Huang lowered his voice and said angrily, "You kid, are you too bored on duty, and you have nothing to do to call me to taunt me?" ”

"Boss, no, I have a very important matter to report to you." Lin Xuan complained, "We need to go to the temple to burn high incense recently, and this unfortunate thing is one after another, and it is endless." ”

"Less nonsense, talk faster." Huang Fangyuan endured his temper that was about to explode.

"There was another murder half an hour ago." Lin Xuan said dejectedly.

After Huang Fangyuan heard the words "murder", his head exploded. He nervously asked, "Where?" ”

"Bac Giang Middle School." Lin Xuan replied, his tone sounding extremely serious at this time.

"What's going on?" Huang Fangyuan unconsciously raised his voice, which also attracted the attention of Wang Xiangrui beside him. "Is it still a knock-on case?"

"Yes and no."

"What do you mean yes and no?"

"Boss, don't worry, I'll tell you more about the situation." Lin Xuan obviously felt Huang Fangyuan's nervousness from the voice on the other end of the phone. "Half an hour ago, a man in his thirties came to report that someone had died in Bac Giang Middle School. I happened to be at the reception window and received him. He said he was a security guard at Bac Giang Secondary School. After school in the afternoon, he went to inspect the school building according to the regulations, and helped lock the doors of the classrooms that were not locked. When he went up to the third floor, he heard an argument in the teacher's office at the end of the hallway, and he walked over to see what was going on. As soon as he reached the door, he saw a man who looked like a student rushing out of the teacher's office and bumping into him. After the student hit him, he ran up the stairs without looking back. As he approached the door of his office, he saw a teacher lying on the ground, covered in blood. He realized something was wrong and called the police. ”

"Bloody?" Huang Fangyuan Fox wondered, "Could it be that someone attacked him from behind and knocked his head off?" ”

"The exact extent of the injuries is unclear, and the answer will only be available after the criminal department and the forensic doctor have visited the scene."

"Did the informant go to the police station by himself?" Huang Fangyuan then asked.

"Yes. Beijiang Middle School is next to us, and he came to report the crime by himself. Lin Xuan replied.

Huang Fangyuan's brows furrowed again, and he continued to ask, "Was the teacher dead when the security guard found him?" ”

"I haven't asked the details yet." Lin Xuan thought for a while, "When he came to report the case, he said that his first reaction after seeing the body was to run away in fright, and then he ran downstairs and felt that he should call the police, so he ran here." ”

"At the moment, it seems that this should be an independent case, and it has little to do with the case we have in hand." Huang Fangyuan tightened his eyebrows, "Who is going to the scene now?" ”

"Director Liu took Lao Tang and his comrades to the scene."

"Okay, I'll talk about the details when I get back."

As soon as Huang Fangyuan hung up the phone, Wang Xiangrui came over and asked what happened. Before Huang Fangyuan could answer, he heard Deputy Director Xia's deep voice sound again. He was both dissatisfied and helpless with the successive major criminal cases in the northern part of the city, so he had to instruct them: "Deputy Director Cui, you can take them back to the office to see the situation first." ”

The three of them received the order without ambiguity, and immediately got up and left the conference room.

After Huang Fangyuan and the others left, Deputy Director Xia said to Xu Wenbiao and Captain Qi: "You should also hurry up and learn about the situation of this case." If there is a murder, you must report it to the Criminal Investigation Corps immediately. After that, Deputy Director Xia sighed, "I also have to think about how to report to the director." ”
