"The city bureau attaches great importance to the case, but don't feel pressure, I will let all departments fully support and cooperate with you. For so many years, big and important cases, ups and downs, I haven't seen anything, your ability is obvious to all. Meng Moming motioned for Wu Ping to sit down on the sofa, and poured a cup of freshly brewed Longjing tea for Wu Ping.

Since eating this bowl of rice, Wu Ping has been following Meng Moming. The police station, the public security brigade, the criminal investigation brigade, and the county bureau have been working together for more than ten years, and they have established deep feelings and unswerving trust with each other.

"You are still so hot and resolute, but this time is different from the past, Deputy Lin is ready to be transferred to Linxian County as the director, you know. Personally, he very much does not want to set up this special task force, and if the case is not solved, he will not be able to go to Linxian County to take up his post one day. So, he's got a bit of an opinion about you. You have to relax your heart and be patient. Meng Moming took out two hibiscus king cigarettes, handed one to Wu Ping, and lit one himself.

Meng Moming has been from the police of the grassroots police station all the way to today's position, in addition to his strong ability, but also because of his good character: tolerant and generous. He can tolerate people's shortcomings and use people's strengths, and always gives the people around him a very comfortable feeling and wins the hearts of the people. And the most important thing is that he is upright, he is impartial.

"Meng Ju, you know my character, except for the case, I definitely don't have any other thoughts. Everything I did was to get the case to the bottom of it as quickly as possible, and I didn't think about it that much at the time. Deputy Lin has an opinion, and I can't help it. "Wu Ping speaks straightforwardly, never beating around the bush, in front of his immediate boss and even in front of a bigger leader. With his ability and qualifications, he could have been promoted to deputy director a long time ago, but it was because he was too straight and offended many people that he lingered in the position of captain. However, Wu Ping's interest in solving the case is very much, and he enjoys the psychological satisfaction brought to him by solving the case, and as for the ups and downs of officialdom, he doesn't particularly care.

"That's it. Don't talk about that. You concentrate on your case, and I'll take care of the rest. Although the team leader is me, there are a lot of things; Deputy Director Lin is about to take office, and it is estimated that he will not be able to spare any time to ask about the case. So, it's actually up to you. Meng Moming snuffed out the cigarette butt, took a sip of tea, and continued, "The case that is on fire, tell me what you think." ”

"My gut tells me it's not as simple as a misfire. It will not be a single independent suicide or homicide, and it will definitely be inseparable from the cases of Wu Changan and Zhou Guoqiang. Maybe it's a serial murder ......," Wu Ping replied.

"You can't just rely on intuition, what clues do you have at the moment? Forget it, let's finish first......" Meng Moming felt that he shouldn't interrupt Wu Ping's words, and asked him to continue.

"First of all, let's talk about the Li Chuang case. Judging from the situation at the scene, it is more likely that Li Chuang died from homicide, and it should have been killed first, and then the murderer set the fire, which can be known after the forensic doctor examines the body. At the scene, we found two things: one was the firing pin on the murder weapon that killed Zhou Guoqiang, and the other was the ID card left under the body. The ID card was destroyed by fire, leaving only the name column'Cao...... The word 'sheng', the word in the middle is not clear. From this point, my judgment is: if it is suicide, the person who died is Li Chuang, that Cao ...... He has nothing to do with the present case; If he killed, the person who died was Li Chuang, that Cao ...... Life is the murderer, and of course, the murderer can also be someone else. Now the difficulty is that it is impossible to determine the identity of the deceased. Wu Ping finished his thoughts on Li Chuang's case in one breath, took out a cigarette from the cigarette case on the coffee table, and lit it.

"Well, the analysis is clear and comprehensive, what about the rest?" Meng Moming asked.

"Let's talk about the cases of Zhou Guoqiang and Wu Changan. In fact, it is uncertain whether there is a connection between the two cases. Speaking of Zhou Guoqiang's case alone, there has been no progress recently, and I was in distress, but I didn't expect to find an important clue at the scene of the fire - that is, the firing pin found in Li Chuang's room that you just said was exactly the same as the one on the catapult that killed Zhou Guoqiang. I've been to the evidence room and the original firing pin is still there. So, what was the use of the firing pin found in Li Chuang's room? Perhaps, Li Chuang is the murderer who killed Zhou Guoqiang. ”

"As for Wu Changan's case, we have also found a breakthrough - the matter related to the educated youth has begun to investigate. Following these lines of thought and the clues found, I think there will be progress soon. I won't report the specific work, so I won't delay your time, right? Wu Ping wanted to leave, he felt that he had lost a lot of time.

"Want to go? Yes. I don't want to hear about the specific work, just tell me the results. Don't waste your precious time, go for it. ”

Wu Ping got up and took his leave.

Meng Moming threw the remaining box of cigarettes on the coffee table to Wu Ping, "Take it, pay attention to safety." ”

Wu Ping grabbed the cigarette, "Meng Ju, you are too stingy, give another pack." ”

", so greedy, hahaha." Meng Moming let out a hearty laugh, he was very confident in Wu Ping's ability to solve the case.

Wu Ping turned around and walked away.

I have to go to Guangong Town Middle School again.

On the way, in the car, Liu Debao reported to Wu Ping on the completion of the task: about Li Chuang, before and after the fire, no one had seen him, and no one had seen anyone looking for Li Chuang or going to Li Chuang's room. Several teachers who like to run in the morning told the investigators that when they ran yesterday morning, the side door next to the school gate was already open, and the door of the security room was also open, but Li Chuang was not seen. About Cao ...... Sheng, after the comrades in charge of household registration worked overtime overnight, they found three people with similar names in the county, one was named Cao Liansheng and the other was Cao Baosheng. "And one more, do you know who?" Liu Debao asked.

"I know I'm still asking you to check? Say it. ”

"We all know Cao Guisheng, deputy director of the county education bureau."

"He? Deputy Director Cao? yes, how did you forget him. ”

"Captain, I've always had a question, I don't know whether to say it or not." Liu Debao asked, looking at Wu Ping.

"Say."

"Does the person who died have to be Li Chuang?"

Wu Ping was stunned. Before this, no one had thought about it: must the person who died be Li Chuang? Liu Debao's question pierced Wu Ping's brain.

Not necessarily.

Then, the ID card under the deceased belonged to the deceased himself, not Li Chuang snatched it from the murderer, Wu Ping clapped his palm, "Immediately arrange someone to investigate Cao Liansheng and Cao Baosheng, Deputy Director Cao, you go with me tomorrow." If three Cao ...... Life is alive, then, it can be temporarily stated that the person who was burned to death was Li Chuang, if ......"

"If a certain Cao ...... Sheng is missing, so Li Chuang will become the murderer who absconded. Liu Debao added.

Wu Ping was very pleased that his apprentice Liu Debao grew up quickly.

At this time, Wu Ping's BP machine rang, and a colleague from the identification department sent a message that the autopsy had ended.

"Wu team, you got a new machine, when did it happen? Really rich, what brand? After Liu Debao finished speaking, he reached over and touched the screen of the BP machine.

"Watch out for the screen, hairy. Motorola, I just bought it yesterday and I'm going to be broken by you. ”

Liu Debao rolled his eyes, "Stingy." It's not a wife, so I can't touch it yet. ”

"Well, it's more expensive than my wife." Wu Ping glared at Liu Debao, "Drive well, your train of thought has been disrupted by you." Sure enough, the deceased did not die from the fire, the murderer killed him first, and then set the fire, and the deceased's respiratory tract was clean. ”

"What about the cause of death?" Liu Debao asked.

"Poisoning, that's the main reason. The medical examiner found a residue of rat poison in the stomach of the deceased. The amount is not very large, the kind that cannot be immediately lethal. The second is suffocation, which should have been caused by the murderer's hand pinching or using ropes, wires and other things to strangle the neck, because the body was charred, so it could not be seen from the outside. ”
