CHAPTER 75: CHAPTER 75: THIS TIME, WE FIGHT FOR THE HONOR OF THE POLICE FORCE!

Because of one phone call, Mr. Ma’s mood again hit rock bottom.

The joy of successfully rescuing the hostage dissipated instantly.

Solving the case within three days, what kind of international joke is this?

Perhaps Mr. Peng, who has just come to Jiangcheng to take office, doesn’t understand the difficulty of this case.

However, Mr. Ma deeply understands, as he is the person responsible for investigating this case.

This case, after a year and a half of investigation by the special task force, has not achieved any substantive progress.

In the past 8 years, Jiangcheng’s criminal investigation has repeatedly started discussions on the case, but all have ended without resolution.

Currently, three suspects have been identified, but these are based on subjective analysis.

If they form an alliance and refuse to speak, denying the facts of the crime.

Even if everyone is convinced in their hearts that they are the culprits, it is unable to bring them to legal punishment.

After all, any case handling must be based on evidence.

Thinking of this, Mr. Ma frowned once again.

Moments later, he turned to the special police captain beside him and said, "The remaining work is for you to handle, I have more important matters."

"Yes, Mr. Ma."

Then, Mr. Ma came to Li Jian’s side and said, "Quickly organize the criminal investigation team for a meeting in the conference room."

"Mr. Peng demands the case to be solved in three days, we don’t have much time left."

Hearing "solving the case in three days," Li Jian’s pressure multiplied instantly.

He asked in surprise, "Solve the case in three days?"

Mr. Ma nodded and said, "I know solving the case in three days is very difficult."

"But this is Mr. Peng’s requirement, we must strictly execute it."

"Whether the case can be solved depends entirely on the spearhead efforts of your criminal investigation team."

minutes later, the criminal investigation team’s conference room was filled with people.

Mr. Ma opened his mouth and said, "Comrades of the criminal investigation team, I apologize for keeping everyone here for a meeting even though it’s already off work hours."

"This afternoon’s hostage rescue action was very successful, and you should all leave early to rest."

"However, I’ve just received a notification from above, regarding the massacre case from 8 years ago, city leaders require us to solve it within three days."

As soon as the words fell, the venue instantly broke into quiet discussions.

Three days! Isn’t this a joke?

An unsolved case for 8 years, asking us to solve in three days?

Back then, the special task force had nearly 80 criminal investigation experts, lasting over 500 days, yet the case wasn’t solved.

A three-day deadline is simply absurd.

.....

Li Jian clapped his hands and said, "Comrades, please be quiet for a moment, let’s listen to Mr. Ma continue speaking."

Mr. Ma said, "Three days is indeed very pressing."

"I was once a member of the criminal investigation team, I know the difficulty of solving cases."

"Especially concerning this massacre case, it’s even tougher."

"However, after this case is restarted, altering the investigation direction revealed three suspicious individuals."

"Currently, the analysis of this case is very sound, I recognize the reconstruction of the murder scene."

After a slight pause, Mr. Ma said, "Criminalized thousands, investigate the world."

"This has been my belief in criminal investigation work for 30 years."

"I believe the criminal investigation team is a powerful collective, certainly able to withstand pressure at critical moments and tackle this tough case."

"This long-unsolved case has a bad impact on the image of the police team, we must innovate, bravely fight this time. With real case-solving results, win the honor for the police team."

Finally, Mr. Ma stood up, saluted everyone.

He spoke solemnly, "I entrust this case to all of you."

The entire meeting was very oppressive.

This was Mr. Ma’s first time during a meeting, publicly saluting to make a request.

After the meeting ended, everyone moved into action.

Initially, Lei Ming and Qin Yan were interrogated, without significant effects.

Now, the third suspect Wang Chuang has been captured, becoming the priority target for interrogation.

9:30 p.m.

Li Jian and Chen He entered interrogation room number 3 to start the interrogation of Wang Chuang.

Chen He said, "Honesty brings leniency, resistance incurs severity."

"Now, beginning interrogation, please answer our questions truthfully."

The man nodded, appearing very cooperative.

Then, Chen He asked, "What is your name? Where do you work? Where do you live?"

"My name is Li Yong, I am 35 years old, serving as general manager at Yanfei Electronics Factory, living in Jianghe Riverfront District One."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen He said, "Is your name incorrect?"

The man said, "The ID card is right in front of you."

"This was issued to me by the police station, it can’t be fake, right?"

Chen He said sternly, "Your name isn’t Li Yong, your name is Wang Chuang."

Instantly, the man’s eyes widened.

He suddenly realized something, then asked, "Is Qin Yan still here?"

Li Jian said sternly, "Answer our questions."

"Let’s be clear, this is our interrogation of you, not your interrogation of us."

At this moment, the man moved back a bit, leaning on the chair.

Li Jian asked, "The murder case 8 years ago, you shouldn’t forget, right?"

The man remained silent, just staring at Li Jian and Chen He.

"Back then, you three entered the victim’s home together and killed the entire family."

"Throughout the years, haven’t you had nightmares?"

The man still remained silent.

After a brief pause, Li Jian said, "Your gang of three, all are here."

"The other two are in the adjoining interrogation rooms 1 and 2."

"When disaster comes, each will fly away."

"Whoever of you three first confesses, stating the others’ crimes, will be meritorious."

"If you acknowledge your crimes at the beginning and unmask the crimes of others, you likely won’t face dire consequences."

The man still remained silent.

He only looked blankly at Li Jian and Chen He.

Then, Chen He again asked other questions.

However, each time after speaking, the man only communicated with eye contact, without any verbal response.

Like this, the interrogation lasted nearly an hour.

Finally, Li Jian said, "You can choose not to say anything."

"But, you cannot stop the other two from speaking."

Chen He said, "Think carefully, opportunities missed will not come again."

Subsequently, the two stood up, opened the door, and walked out of the interrogation room.

Standing in the corridor, Li Jian, Chen He, were both smoking.

"Mr. Li, is the interrogation over?"

Chen He asked.

Li Jian said, "We just threw out the bait for him to weigh in his heart."

He raised his head and looked at the sky.

"Tonight’s moon is round and big."

Suddenly, he noticed the lights were still on in the criminal investigation building’s conference room opposite.

Li Jian asked, "Is there still someone in the conference room?"

"Seems like Jiang An!"

"When I left, I saw him reading the case files."

Li Jian extinguished the cigarette butt in his hand and said, "Let’s go! We’ll sit in the conference room, and see what Jiang An is pondering."

At this moment.

Inside the criminal investigation team’s conference room.

Jiang An was fully focused on the scene photos, corpse photos.

Until Chen He tapped his shoulder, Jiang An realized someone had entered the conference room.

He suddenly turned around and said, "Mr. Li! Mr. Chen!"

Li Jian asked, "What are you thinking?"

"Thinking so deeply?"
