Chapter 510: Chapter 420: The Inescapable Net (Seeking Subscriptions!)_1
Elsewhere.
Upon receiving Tang Yi’s response.
A furor once again broke out in the conference room as everyone incredulously read the report in front of them.
In this report,
Little Two had listed all the uncertainties regarding these three pending cases and presented a detailed logical reasoning process, which was so verbose that the rationale had over one hundred thousand words. It was incredibly airtight, to such an extent that even professionals would struggle to find any flaws.
The uncertainties addressed in this report were not just concerning the lack of motive and evidence. There were also problems with the witnesses’ testimonies. Even aspects that were previously deemed as undisputed were one by one refuted by Little Two.
Now, after such extensive analysis, it became evident that these cases were riddled with major issues.
The individuals present who read this report,
Fell silent.
The message coming from them was quite simple.
If the criminals were indeed guilty, then there would be no problem, but if questions arose, then they wouldn’t assist. Should the evidence they provided later prove insufficient, they would be forced to abandon the case.
No one could believe that within less than an hour, one hundred cases were analyzed entirely, and these three cases were thoroughly dissected. It was unbelievable.
One case even explicitly pointed out that at least three witnesses were lying.
Seeing all this,
They didn’t know how to react. These were significant cases from all over, while the majority were acceptable; however, three of them surprisingly contained so many discrepancies. Wasn’t this questioning the competency of their subordinates? 𝚗o𝚟pub.𝚌𝚘𝚖
Although unrelated to themselves, quite a few people had flushed faces. All eyes were curiously trained on the liaison officer who had provided these hundred reports, waiting to hear his explanation.
"Director Ye, what should we do? They demand that you must re-record the testimonies and provide video footage of the testimonies. Otherwise, they will disregard these three cases. Considering you have delivered problematic cases, you will only have one hundred manhunt slots for the coming week," said the director sitting in the first position, slowly.
This was Tang Qing’s point: if there are problematic cases, you can’t ignore them and give me new cases to replace these slots. If the dossier isn’t sent over, then Tang Qing can pretend they didn’t see it. But since it has been sent over, it became a relevant issue.
If you don’t show enthusiasm in solving cases, then sorry, I am not kind enough to handle your work.
Due to the extensive scope of this office’s operations, several related departments have sent their representatives to be based here permanently. A Deputy Director named Ye Shen was dispatched from the police headquarters and was promoted to Director upon his arrival here. This was considered a step up for him. His job was relatively relaxed, his primary responsibility was to act as a liaison officer. Every day, he forwarded information about missing children that was sent to him.
Upon hearing this,
Ye Shen was also unsure, as this was forwarded from the headquarters, how could he possibly know. However, buried grievances were emerging within him. They should have at least reviewed them, now look at the mess, they only had a hundred slots for a week.
"Director, I’ll check with my leader immediately and send the information over for verification," said Ye Shen, promptly began operating his computer. Using the internal secured email, he sent the information to the liaison department at headquarters.
This is a department that operates around-the-clock.
Moreover, it was just the start of the morning shift.
After sending the email,
Ye Shen hurriedly made a phone call,
Reporting this matter to his immediate superiors.
His superior was also shocked by the news. Damn, they had made a fool of themselves. Someone managed to point out their mistakes one by one. On a Monday morning, they simply wouldn’t let people live peacefully.
Straight away,
Ye Kun’s superior called in about ten criminal investigation experts to the meeting room. They carefully studied these three case files, comparing them to commentary provided in the report.
Half an hour later,
"Perfect, the report is too rigorous. Leader, the logical reasoning process of these three cases could be written into textbooks."
"Exactly, can I copy this later to study it further? This style of writing is simply outstanding."
"These people are so annoying, even resorting to perjury."
"How do the people at the bottom work? How do their teachers teach them? Couldn’t they see so many uncertainties?"
"They should all go back to the police academy."
"..."
The experts came to a consensus, which was that these three cases indeed had, as the report stated, many uncertainties. Two of the cases even seemed like they could be the result of framing or careful scheming.
This time, Ye Kun’s superior was enraged.
Hence, they quickly issued a formal order to re-record the testimonies immediately today.
Ye Shen also received a reply.
The others watched him.
With a bitter face, Ye Shen said, "Everyone, the headquarters has sent a message. There are significant issues with these three cases. Testimonies will be recorded again today, and it can be completed by tomorrow night at the latest."
"In other words, there isn’t enough evidence for these three people," confirmed the Director.
"Yes, these were backlogged cases reported from the lower level. We thought there were no issues, but unexpectedly in fact..." Ye Shen couldn’t continue. It was too embarrassing. His own people didn’t discover anything, yet all the dirt was dug up by others. It was absolutely terrifying. As for this group of people, he genuinely admired them to the point of being speechless.
It would be great if they could help solve the cases.
Thinking of this, Ye Shen felt this was a good topic to propose later on. He didn’t expect the other party to seek their help, but they were just as proficient in criminal investigation. Thinking of this, Ye Shen felt a chill in his heart - combining this prominent figure from the internet world who is proficient in law and criminal psychology would definitely be a headache for any opponent.
"Alright, let’s reply to them. We should upload the video of the testimony they need by tomorrow night at the latest. Make sure to keep it confidential. Dismissed," the director concluded.
Everyone dispersed after the meeting.
But the aftermath was far from over.
It’s still morning.
Everyone had just started work.
The leader was furious.
Damn it, is this kind of case they submitted a slap in the face?
The orders were passed down layer by layer, all with dissatisfaction, ordering the local area to retake the testimony of three cases immediately.
The order was received.
The local area initially didn’t think it was a big deal, what’s going on, was there someone appealing to the Supreme Court?
But when the local criminal investigation personnel saw this document marked red in dozens of places, they were left speechless. Damn it, how did they not find so many doubts at the time? This time they lost face and even threw it to the headquarters.
Damn.
"Quick, organize a team, complete the tasks assigned by the superiors before tonight, and arrest those clear liars." A bureau chief roared, pounding the table.
The subordinates accepted the command and left.
Half an hour later.
In the interrogation room.
A man was wearing handcuffs, with a slightly puzzled look on his face. He was brought here as soon as he started work, and he didn’t get any reply no matter how he asked on the way.
Two interrogators interrogated.
"Zhou Ming, why did you lie to us last time, perjured." The male interrogator said coldly.
Hearing these words, Zhou Ming knew what was going on, and explained in a panic: "I...I didn’t lie, I told the truth last time." Thinking of the case last year, Zhou Ming panicked. He had helped a rich second-generation who accidentally killed three people to perjure, framed the neighbor’s child who was in senior high school, and took a hush fee of 200,000. That kid is still missing, and the child’s parents died of depression last year, leaving behind a sister with no one to take care of.
"Hmm, the truth? When did you last see him go home with an axe?"
"Half past ten at night."
"Half past ten? Your wife says you always go to bed early."
"I was busy at work that day and got home a bit late."
"Busy at work? Your company never works overtime, and you didn’t have any overtime records at the time. Where did you work overtime?"
"I, I might have remembered wrong, got held up with other things."
"You remembered wrong? Got held up? Hmm, you remembered wrong last time, but you remembered it this time, you have a good memory. Why did your bank account have an extra 200,000 RMB on April 9th last year, the day after you gave your testimony?"
"It was borrowed from my relatives." Zhou Ming’s voice started to tremble.
"Really? Why don’t we know about your relatives being billionaires?"
"An adopted relative, an acknowledged relative."
"You..."
At this time, a person walked in, whispered a few words in the male interrogator’s ear, and then the interrogator looked at Zhou Ming with a strange look, which made Zhou Ming feel terrified.
"Slap..."
The male interrogator slapped the table in front of him, which scared Zhou Ming and made him jump up, sweating profusely.
"If you still don’t confess, others have confessed, and it was you who colluded to take money and frame others. He was drunk that day, but he just went to dance at the nightclub with his classmates, and didn’t kill anyone. The axe was said to be thrown into someone else’s woodshed in the backyard by you. You also threatened that person and scared him into running away from home, his whereabouts unknown. If you don’t talk anymore, don’t blame me for not giving you a chance." The interrogator said coldly.
Seeing that the matter was completely revealed.
Zhou Ming’s psychological defenses broke down.
"I, I confess, it was that kid, Zhong Hao, who did it. I saw him kill those people with my own eyes. Our deputy factory director was also there. Zhong Hao also gave me 200,000 hush money. In the end, I threw the axe into Zhang Du’s house and persuaded Zhang Du, who was a little confused after drinking, to escape out of guilt, intending to frame this case." Zhou Ming confessed truthfully.
"Humph, scum."
He then asked a few more details and all the people involved.
He walked out the door.
The head of the criminal investigation team walked into the leader’s office.
"Bureau Chief, the murderer is Zhong Hao, the sole child of the owner of Fly Luck Real Estate. He bribed several witnesses to perjure and frame Zhang Du. What should we do?"
"What to do? Arrest him immediately! The headquarters is paying attention to this case all the time, and it is even said that the boss has thumped the table. Regardless of who, arrest him! No one can surpass the law. Act immediately. If the person escapes, you will have to explain to the headquarters yourself." The bureau chief slapped the table and said.
"Yes, complete the task."
Half an hour later.
Zhong Hao was arrested.
Confronted with the ironclad facts, he, who was not very mentally strong, collapsed instantly and pleaded guilty.
Even Zhong Hao’s father tried to exert his influence.
But this was a case that the headquarters was paying attention to, and no one’s influence would work.
