Chapter 19: Follow-up

The Black Thorns Detective Agency entered the moment of the sage after the storm, Wu Feng chewed crispy bones to replenish bone bud cells, Zhang Dali sat behind his desk smoking cigarettes one after another, and Tang Xiaowu hid in the room and didn't know what he was doing.

Wu Feng combed through the flaws in this operation in his mind, thinking about whether he had left clues for the police station.

On the whole, the operation was well prepared, and the process was very smooth, the only episode was that Wu Feng himself fell into a deep sleep in the middle, but fortunately, Zhang Dali's follow-up was good enough, which can be called perfect.

However, whoever walks through it will inevitably leave traces, and there is no such thing as a perfect crime. As long as the police department is willing to spend energy and time, the case of Wei Tao's murder will be investigated by the Black Thorn Detective Agency sooner or later.

The key is whether the police will do it.

Wu Feng thinks this is unlikely.

Wei Tao's case is actually two cases now, one is Wei Tao's corruption case, and the other is the murder case of Wei Tao, Wei Bo, and Li Qiang.

Wei Tao has corrupted so much money, and such a major corruption case, it is like a piece of fat, which will firmly attract the attention of the police department.

It is not just a corruption case, it is also the capital for the promotion of police officers, and it is their ladder upward.

As for the murders of Wei Tao, Wei Bo, and Li Qiang, who cares? Is this murder bigger than a corruption case?

In terms of influence in public opinion, the latter is not worth mentioning at all compared with the former.

There are also human and time costs for police officers to handle cases, and they also need to emphasize performance.

The physical evidence of the former is conclusive, and the cash in the study can be promoted and raised if it is done well, and the latter has few clues, even if he tries his best to find out the real culprit, he can save himself some qualifications at most.

Do you still have to choose which case to handle?

As for Wei Tao, Wei Bo, and Li Qiang's murder cases, how to explain and close the case, just set a burglary and murder case to be closed, Wu Feng has been a criminal police officer for ten years, and he knows the case-handling routines in the police station well.

Wei Tao's father and son are dead, and there is no family to investigate, as for Li Qiang's family, Li Laifu is too late to avoid suspicion now, he will not make up for this case, at most find a detective agency and investigate in secret.

To say that there is no entanglement between Li Laifu and Wei Tao, fools don't believe it.

One is the richest person in Yangming City, and the other is the most powerful person in the police department, money and power are like Ximenqing and Pan Jinlian, if they don't have a leg, Wu Dalang doesn't believe it.

After thinking about this case, Wu Feng's mood suddenly relaxed.

But he looked around, broken doors and windows, smashed desks and chairs, and a computer with only one monitor, and he was a little upset, which would cost a fortune.

Moreover, Li Fang's parents' hospitalization deposit was paid by him, and the treatment fee was also paid by his credit card, which is another amount of money.

Wang Meimei's rent is also about to expire, and the gap of 30,000 yuan has not yet been settled.

If you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are, there are places to spend money everywhere.

Wu Feng suddenly thought of the suitcase in Wei Tao's house, he remembered that the suitcase was full of money, and he brought the suitcase to Wei Bo's room at that time.

Wu Feng glanced at Zhang Dali, this kid wouldn't have brought the suitcase back, right?

As soon as Zhang Dali learned to smoke, he knew that if he smoked three or two puffs, he would have to cough for a long time, he was not smoking, this was masochism.

This is traumatic stress disorder after homicide.

"Did you notice a suitcase yesterday?" Wu Feng asked.

"Brother Feng, I got the suitcase back, it's Tang Xiaowu's." After Zhang Dali finished speaking, he took another sharp breath and continued to cough.

Wu Feng went upstairs and knocked on Tang Xiaowu's door.

This little girl didn't go out for a long time, she was counting money in the room, the suitcase was opened, it was empty, and bundles of banknotes were neatly stacked on the floor, and it seemed that she had finished counting.

"How much is it in total?"

"Two million."

Wu Feng nodded, very satisfied with this amount, if the money is not much, it is really difficult to fight it.

"You calculate the cost of repairing the first floor, plus the rent, and the medical expenses I paid to Li Fang's parents, take out the money, and make a bank card with the rest of the money and give it to Li Fang's parents."

"Why do you want me to do the math? Won't you and Zhang Dali count? Tang Xiaowu asked.

"What did you study?"

"Accounting."

"You are the most professional in managing money here, who are you not counting? By the way, there is also an informant fee, 10,000 yuan, which must also be taken out. ”

Tang Xiaowu's thinking is a little messy, is this just that the more you know, the more work you have to do?

However, because of Li Fang's revenge, she was in a good mood at this time, so she didn't bother with Wu Feng.

In the next few days, the days passed quite peacefully, the first floor of the Black Thorn Detective Agency was renovated, with new glass doors, tables and chairs, and by the way, a partition was made on the first floor to separate a bedroom for Zhang Dali.

Originally, Wu Feng planned to let Zhang Dali live in Wu Wei's room on the second floor, but he didn't expect Tang Xiaowu to strike first and grab it in advance.

In line with the principle of economy, Tang Xiaowu believes that there is no need to purchase computer hosts, and the pink notebook can be used for a few more years.

After Li Fang's father's operation, his condition stabilized, and the two elderly people did not want to continue to be hospitalized, so Zhang Dali helped them go through the discharge procedures and sent them back to their hometown.

For that bank card, the two old men shirked for a long time, they didn't want it, the murderer of their daughter was dead, and they had already received the best comfort.

In the end, it was Tang Xiaowu and Zhang Dali who persuaded for a long time, and the two old men accepted the bank card, after all, they had nothing to rely on for the rest of their lives, and if they didn't have any money to support their future lives, it would be too sad for this day.

During this period, Wang Xueqian also made a phone call, saying that she had an unexpected gain in Wei Bo and Li Qiang's new mobile phones.

The police found a large number of photos and videos in the cloud space of the new mobile phone, from which they found evidence that Li Fang was imprisoned and tortured to death.

In addition to Li Fang, there are videos of several other girls, after investigation, all of them are girls who have disappeared in Yangming City in recent years.

People are inert, and murderers are no exception, and when a method of disposing of a corpse is found to be effective, it is often used many times, because if a new method is developed, there will be new variables and challenges.

Therefore, the murderer of serial murder often adopts the same method of killing and disposing of the body.

To paraphrase the concept of traditional Chinese medicine, this is called not effective.

The police sent frogmen to salvage in Yangming Lake for a few days, and sure enough, they found the bodies of the girls, and of course, the bodies of Wei Bo and Li Qiang were also recovered.

Regarding Deputy Sheriff Wei Tao, the police found an encrypted file in his computer, and after cracking it, they found that it recorded his corrupt accounts in detail, among which the most frequent and largest amount was Li Qiang's father, Li Laifu.

For the homicide cases of Wei Tao, Wei Bo and Li Qiang, no one in the police station wants to take care of it, because if you try your best to solve the case and catch the murderer who acts for Tianxingdao, not only will it not do much good, but you will be scolded to death by the media and the Internet army.

The police are not stupid, and no one wants to do such a thankless task.

But there must be an explanation for this case, and in the end, under the instruction of Sheriff Zheng He, several old police officers touched a fish and found a substitute for the dead ghost, and solved it in a low-key manner.

The process is like this, a few old police officers picked a few bastards who have been traitors for many years, folded their names on paper, and finally touched them, and whoever they touched was the ghost of the dead.

After listening to Wang Xueqian's description, Wu Feng was completely relieved, and the follow-up troubles were eliminated.

A different kind of satisfaction and sense of accomplishment rose in Wu Feng's heart.

Yangming City should be grateful to him, his arrival changed the fate of some people in Yangming City.

If he hadn't crossed over here, there would definitely be more girls thrown into Yangming Lake by Wei Bo and Li Qiang in the future.

But Wu Feng can only choose to hide his merits and fame.

Wu Feng, Zhang Dali, and Tang Xiaowu took the time to go to the Detective Association in Yangming City, and Wu Feng was successfully promoted from a five-star assistant detective to a one-star practicing detective, and was eligible to receive a bounty task from the Detective Association.

Zhang Dali and Tang Xiaowu also registered and became one-star assistant detectives.

Wu Feng took over the bounty assignment for Li Caihui's bizarre death, and he has been studying the case files for the past few days, which are the first-hand information recorded by the police after they arrived at the scene.

Li Caihui, female, 30 years old, was hanged on the balcony of her home on Christmas Eve, and the autopsy results showed that the time of death was between 10 and 12 o'clock on Christmas Eve.

Photographs from the scene of the crime show that Lee's hands were tied in front of her with a strap, the sling was a men's belt, her feet were half a meter above the ground, and there was nothing to step on under the body.

As a result, the police preliminarily determined that Li Caihui had killed him.

Sleeping pills were detected in Li Caihui's stomach, and there were no traces of struggle or resistance at the scene.

The surveillance video at the door of Li Caihui's house shows that at 10:10 p.m., Li Chengdong, the owner of Li Caihui's entertainment company, entered Li Caihui's house, stayed for half an hour and left.

At 11 p.m., Lee Chae-hui's boyfriend, Han Jae-sung, entered Lee Chae-hui's house and stayed for 45 minutes before leaving.

Han Jae-sung is the crown prince of the Tongtian Consortium, which is one of the top five consortia in the Dark Moon Republic, with a market value of over 100 billion, involving industries such as real estate, energy, electricity, oil, entertainment, media, etc.

Li Caihui's entertainment company is actually controlled by the Tongtian consortium.

Both Lee Sung-dong and Han Jae-sung were silent about police questioning, refusing to admit to the killing.

These two men have deep pockets and hired top lawyers, and the police have no other way to deal with them, and all they can do at present is to restrict them from leaving the country.

It is basically not feasible to try to solve the case from the confession of the suspect.

Lee's family is currently fighting over the inheritance and is ignoring the case.

The one million bounty for this bounty mission was spontaneously raised by Lee Chae-hui's fans.

Bounty assignments are a bit different from those commissioned directly by the client, in that they are open to all practicing detectives and do not require a deposit upfront.

Remuneration is only available to the detective who solves the case first, and it is a contest of intellect, and not only does the laggard not receive a bounty, but the expenses incurred during the investigation have to be paid out of their own pockets.

In addition to the deposit required for the tasks directly entrusted by the customer, the customer also needs to pay the remuneration in stages as the investigation progresses, so as to prevent the customer from defaulting on fees.

Wu Feng is also worried about this, at present, there are only more than 3,000 yuan left in the cash of the Black Thorn Detective Agency, and if he wants to investigate this case, even the transportation expenses are not enough.

After all, you can't solve the case just by looking at the file, and you have to visit the scene on the spot, travel, accommodation, and informant fees, all of which cost money.

If you want to start the investigation of this case, you must first earn some start-up capital.
