Chapter 423 Class A Wanted Order

The next day.

Two silver-gray Coasters parked in the yard of Qingyang Municipal Bureau.

At this time, the yard was full of people, all of whom looked worried and sad.

Seeing the car door open, the city bureau leaders headed by Pan Changfeng rushed forward to greet Zhu Yong and Wang Mu who got off the car.

These two are the captain and deputy captain of the provincial department’s Criminal Police Corps, internally known as the Criminal Investigation Bureau. Their presence, of course, represents the highest authority in the police system.

Pan Changfeng’s heart sank to the bottom, but he still smiled on the surface. He shook Zhu Yong’s hand and greeted him warmly: “Captain Zhu, Deputy Chief Wang, thank you for your hard work.”

Zhu Yong had a cold and solemn expression. He simply shook hands with the other party. When he saw Sun Kang standing behind Pan Changfeng, he hurried forward.

“Old Sun, I’m so sorry.”

Sun Kang hadn’t slept all night, and his hair had turned white. He forced himself to stay awake and nodded, “Captain Zhu, it’s okay, I can hold on.”

Zhu Yong sighed, then looked at the crowd and asked, “Where is Director Luo?”

The detachment leader Chen Changyi immediately replied: “I just contacted him. Director Luo…he hasn’t woken up yet.”

“Okay, let’s go in first.” Zhu Yong didn’t care and waved his hand.

A group of staff members got off the two Coasters and walked towards the municipal bureau building one after another, carrying briefcases in their hands.

Zhu Yong held Sun Kang’s wrist affectionately and walked in front.

This sent a signal, causing Pan Changfeng to have a bad feeling.

He hurriedly took two steps back and whispered to Chen Changyi, “Old Chen, something doesn’t seem right to me.”

Chen Changyi glanced at the figure in front of him, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.

“If you know anything, just tell me.” Pan Changfeng was anxious.

“It’s like this, Director Pan, Captain Zhu and the others went to the city right after they got off the highway. They came here from the city.”

Upon hearing this, Pan Changfeng almost fell to the ground and couldn’t even walk.

Chen Changyi did not help him, but just sighed slightly.

Qingyang City is only a third-level prefecture-level city, and it cannot be compared with provinces and cities like Guangxing.

There is a huge gap between the positions of Pan Changfeng and Hu Changyu, and the latter also holds a concurrent position in the provincial department.

In addition to the provincial department, the municipal bureau’s superiors also include the municipal government, but mainly the municipal government.

Zhu Yong first went to the city to communicate, and his purpose was self-evident.

When he saw that Zhu Yong had completely different attitudes towards himself and Sun Kang, Pan Changfeng realized that he was about to retire early.

Secretary Dakang abandoned Zhao Donglai.

He stepped up the stairs tremblingly, as if he had suffered a stroke and all the strength in his body seemed to have been drained away.

After entering the conference room, everyone took their seats.

Zhu Yong paid close attention to the circumstances surrounding Sun Zhihao’s death, and inquired in detail about the [Case 404] and [Case 718].

But the participants were not paying attention to this. They knew that Luo Rui was not there and Zhu Yong was just asking routine questions and did not want to understand the case in depth.

Sure enough, an hour later, the door of the conference room was pushed open, and people in uniforms and carrying briefcases came in one after another.

When they saw them, everyone’s expressions froze and they quickly lowered their heads.

Afterwards, Pan Changfeng, Chen Changyi and others stood up tremblingly and were taken away with pale faces.

The meeting room was so silent that you could hear a pin drop, and no one dared to speak.

A moment later, Luo Rui came in with his men.

As soon as he came in, the people from Qingyang Municipal Bureau breathed a sigh of relief, indicating that the matter was over and there would be no more trouble.

Luo Rui nodded to Zhu Yong and Wang Mu, then pulled a chair and sat down.

“I heard that you slept for a day and a night?” Zhu Yong approached him and asked in a low voice.

Luo Rui nodded: “Yes.”

“It’s right to get a good rest.” Zhu Yong sighed.

Luo Rui pursed his lips, glanced at Sun Kang across the table, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Zhu Yong said, “It’s just as you thought. Director Sun has already informed our provincial department of his suspicions about the [718 case].”

Luo Rui nodded and stopped worrying about this issue.

Zhu Yong straightened his face and looked across the conference table.

Because of the relationship between Sun Zhihao and Sun Kang, he had to recuse himself from the case, but he could attend the trial as an observer.

At this moment, the responsibility of presiding over the work of Qingyang Municipal Bureau fell on Han Bin.

This person is the second-in-command and has been in charge of the financial power of the bureau. He doesn’t know much about criminal investigation.

Zhu Yong immediately said: “We have roughly understood the case. Next, our focus is to find out the origins of this group of people and bring them to justice, so as to be worthy of Comrade Sun Zhihao.

The Qingyang Municipal Bureau and the Provincial Department’s working groups will work together to set up a special task force, with Luo Rui as the team leader. Do you have any opinions?”

Han Bin nodded hurriedly: “We will follow your arrangements.”

“Okay then.” Luo Rui leaned forward: “Let’s not talk about anything else now, let’s just talk about the case. How was your investigation yesterday?”

Han Bin had no idea, and he didn’t care about it. He looked at Sun Kang for help, and the latter said to Cao Yang, who was sitting at the end of the conference table: “Captain and deputy captain are not here, you speak.”

Cao Yang swallowed his saliva. With the burden falling on him, he felt the pressure doubled.

The scene of taking people away before was still lingering in his mind. It was so scary.

He licked his lips, trying to be a nobody, but Sun Kang immediately yelled, “Why are you still standing there? Hurry up.”

Cao Yang had no choice but to stand up and walk to the big screen.

He cleared his throat and said, “I…we have been investigating for a day and a night, and now we can basically confirm that the people who attacked Haozi…and attacked Sun Zhihao should be the same people in [Case 404] and [Case 718].”

“How did you prove it?” Luo Rui asked.

Cao Yang avoided his gaze and replied, “The suspect in [Case 404], Deng Mowei, has carefully identified these two men. Their height and appearance match those of the gangsters who attacked her that night, and…”

He took a deep breath, glanced at Sun Kang, and said, “Sun Zhihao was stabbed thirteen times in the chest. The forensic autopsy found that the murder method was very similar to the murder method of the two victims in the [718 case].”

At this point, everyone in the Qingyang Municipal Bureau lowered their heads in silence.

Luo Rui closed his eyes. He understood that if he did not dwell on proving the doubts in this case, but instead ignored the attitude of Qingyang City Bureau and continued the investigation, Sun Zhihao might not necessarily have been killed.

“Has the identity of the deceased criminal been found?”

Cao Yang nodded and looked at the big screen. A photo appeared in front of everyone.

Name: Liu Xu.

Age: 26 years old.

Occupation: Security guard in a residential area.

Native place: Qingyang City.

marital status: Single.

Residential address: Room 11, Unit 301, No. , Tiexin Road, Qingyang City.

Cao Yang said: “Liu Xu is not well educated. He started working right after graduating from high school. He has been working as a security guard for several years. As for his social connections, our people are investigating. We have also sent people to stake out where he lives.”

Luo Rui nodded and said, “At that time, I sent Fang Yonghui and Sun Zhihao to keep an eye on the people involved in the [404 case]. It was because of this Zhang Youer that Sun Zhihao was killed. Have you found her?”

Cao Yang shook his head: “We checked the hospital’s surveillance and found that yesterday morning Zhang Youer took the elevator to the 12th floor of the inpatient department, and immediately took another elevator downstairs and left the hospital.

We have already detained her mother, Tang Leru, but she knows nothing. Zhang Youer’s whereabouts are still unknown, and we have also sent people to track her down.”

It was obvious that the girl acted as bait to lure Fang Yonghui and Sun Zhihao to the ambush point set by the criminals, so that Sun Zhihao was attacked.

There is no doubt that Zhang You’er was an accomplice of this group of people. The death of her father Zhang Guanglu was probably deeply related to her.

Luo Rui pondered for a while, then talked with Zhu Yong for a while, and said to everyone: “I think we should stop worrying about case analysis, cast a wide net and find the person directly.”

After hearing what he said, everyone immediately perked up.

Luo Rui glanced at everyone: “First, find Zhang Youer. If we find her, we can track down this group of people. Second, investigate Liu Xu’s social relationships. Third, send someone to investigate the mysterious woman in the court when Kong Zhijie was on trial!

You need to show your ID card when you attend the court hearing. Find this woman for me.

In addition, the key point is to find out the relationship between Zhang Youer and Liu Xu, how Zhang Youer got in touch with this group of people, these people may be of different professions, and they committed the crime with the same purpose. “

“Yes.” Cao Yang agreed and began to assign personnel. Then, everyone started to take action.

———-

A cordon was set up at the door of Room 11, a residential building facing the street at No. 301 Tiexin Road.

Two policemen were on duty at the door to prevent unauthorized persons from disrupting the scene.

When Luo Rui arrived, there were two surveyors working in the room.

He asked, “How’s it going?”

An investigator stood up, patted his waist, and shook his head, saying, “We didn’t find any useful physical evidence. Apart from confirming the identity of the suspect, we got nothing.”

Luo Rui stood at the door and looked at the small rental house with a frown on his face.

The furnishings in the room were simple. There was no other furniture except a bed, a wardrobe, a table and two stools.

Lin Chen behind him took the information handed over by the police, looked at it, and said: “Director Luo, the local police have visited and investigated and found that Liu Xu is an introverted person with few friends. During his work, he has never had any conflicts with the owners. He is an inconspicuous person…”

Luo Rui listened and walked into the house.

He reached out and opened the closet, and saw a pair of red boxing gloves hanging on a hanger in the closet.

Then he turned his attention to the gap between the wardrobe and the wall, where dumbbells, arm trainers and other fitness tools were placed on the floor.

Lin Chen followed his gaze and said, “This Liu Xu really likes fitness. The place he goes to most after get off work is the gym.”

Luo Rui didn’t say anything, but opened the drawer of the bedside table and found a piece of advertising paper from the scattered items inside. This was a promotional paper for a boxing gym. In addition to the boxer’s pose, there was also an address and contact number printed below.

“Let’s go and take a look at this place.” Luo Rui called.

The boxing gym is not far away, on the top floor of a building on the commercial street in the city center.

After Luo Rui and his group arrived, Lin Chen and Zhang Yong went straight to the front desk, while he and Fang Yonghui walked towards the training ground inside.

There are two rings built in the center of the venue, one of which is empty, and on the other one, the boxing gym coach is training with clients.

Soon, a receptionist in sportswear and a ponytail came over. She was holding a pile of information in her hands and greeted Luo Rui with a smile: “Hello, do you two want to practice boxing?”

Luo Rui looked at the familiar environment and thought he had returned to his previous life.

At that time, he was competing for the boxing championship when he was knocked back by his opponent’s punch.

“Hello, sir…”

At this time, Luo Rui came back to his senses and shook his head gently: “No need to greet us, we are just taking a look.”

The receptionist curled her lips and said, “Okay, if you need anything, just tell me directly.”

Not long after, Lin Chen hurried over and whispered in Luo Rui’s ear, “I found out that in addition to being a security guard, Liu Xu used to practice boxing here, and he also served as a sparring partner in the boxing gym for half a year.”

“Where’s Zhang You’er?”

Lin Chen shook his head: “There is no record of Zhang Youer at the front desk.”

Fang Yonghui asked, “Director Luo, do you suspect this group of people are related to this boxing gym?”

Luo Rui did not answer directly, but ordered: “Find all the clients that Liu Xu has contacted and with whom he has practiced before.”

“Okay.” Lin Chen took Zhang Yong and Fang Yonghui and ran to the front desk again.

Luo Rui walked around the boxing gym, and after a while, he heard a fierce argument coming from the front desk.

“The police are amazing!”

“I’m telling you, if you want us to show you the membership list, you can, but bring me a search warrant!”

Lin Chen said to the staff inside with a cold face, “Just cooperate when I tell you to. Why are you wasting your words?”

A young man in a yellow sportswear shouted, “I’ve already said, you can cooperate, but please show us your search warrant! You police and firefighters come here every day, and there’s always something wrong here or there. You want to mess with us ordinary people, don’t you?”

Lin Chen gritted his teeth and said nothing more.

Fang Yonghui was still furious after Sun Zhihao’s death. He crossed the front desk and grabbed the young man by the collar: “What are you talking about, kid?”

“You want to hit someone, right?” the young man immediately yelled, “Everyone come and see, the police are beating someone, beating someone…”

Hearing his shout, the people in the boxing gym immediately gathered over. Among them were several strong boxers who stared at Fang Yonghui and the others with murderous eyes.

At this time, Luo Rui walked over slowly, separated the crowd, blocked Lin Chen behind him, and said to the group of muscular men, “Please cooperate with us. We are performing official duties and do not want to cause trouble.”

“Cooperation, bullshit!” The coach who had just sparred with him on the ring said, “You only know how to bully the weak. You have no skills at all.”

Luo Rui ignored him, and then raised his chin to Fang Yonghui: “Let him go, don’t be impulsive.”

“Mr. Luo.” Fang Yonghui’s eyes turned red.

Fang Yonghui reluctantly let go of his hand, and Lin Chen said, “I’ll ask someone to bring the search warrant.”

Luo Rui nodded, dragged a chair and sat in the corner.

Seeing the police compromise, the people in the boxing gym did not leave, but gathered around and stared closely at Luo Rui and the others.

Not long after, Luo Rui’s cell phone rang. After he picked up the phone, Cao Yang immediately said on the phone: “Director Luo, we found the person!”

Luo Rui narrowed his eyes slightly: “Who did you find?”

Cao Yang’s tone was very excited: “[718 case], the mysterious woman who was listening in the courtroom!”

“What’s your name?”

“He Ying.” Cao Yang raised his voice: “This woman went to the court to listen to the trial with her own ID card. The household registration system has retrieved all her background information. You would never guess what this woman’s occupation is. She is the owner of a boxing gym!”

“I’m in the boxing gym now.” Luo Rui said.

“What?” Cao Yang was stunned on the phone.

Luo Rui asked: “Have you compared He Ying’s photos?”

Cao Yang said hurriedly: “We compared them. We took her photo to Deng Mowei for identification and confirmed that it was her.”

Luo Rui nodded and stood up. After hanging up the phone, he went straight to the front desk and asked, “Where is your boss He Ying?”

When these people heard this, their hostility towards Luo Rui grew stronger.

“I’m asking you a question.” Luo Rui raised his voice and shouted to the coach who had just spoken rudely to him, “I’m only asking this once. If you refuse to cooperate, I will immediately charge you with helping a criminal suspect escape and take you away!”

Seeing Luo Rui’s fierce eyes, the coach was not afraid at all. Instead, he clenched his fists and said with a smile: “I won’t cooperate. What do you want? If you have the guts, let’s have a fight. If you beat me, I’ll tell you.”

“Heh…” Luo Rui sneered and kicked him hard.

The man wanted to block but failed. He was kicked hard on the knee. He wanted to punch back immediately, but Luo Rui pulled out a pistol from his waist.

“Assaulting police officers, helping criminals escape, arresting people!”

As soon as Luo Rui finished speaking, Fang Yonghui and Zhang Yong took out handcuffs and walked forward. The coach’s eyes were fixed and he dared not move.

Half an hour later, Cao Yang arrived with a team including plainclothes detectives and uniformed police officers, a total of dozens of people.

He said hurriedly, “Director Luo, He Ying’s phone is off and no one is at home. We have sent someone to stake out near her home.”

“And her relatives?”

Cao Yang took a bottle of mineral water from the front desk, unscrewed the cap and took a big sip, then replied, “I also sent someone to control her, but this He Ying was divorced five years ago and has no children. Less than half a year after the divorce, her husband drowned.”

“Don’t worry about that for now, the main thing now is to catch the person.”

“Yes.” Cao Yang responded, and then said: “I just heard that Liu Xu used to work in this boxing gym?”

Luo Rui nodded: “Yes, this boxing gym should be the place that connects this group of people.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Chen and Fang Yonghui came over in a hurry. The former said excitedly, “Director Luo, after identification by the people in the gym, the identity of the other gangster has been found out. His name is Song Zelin. He practices boxing here and is a high school physical education teacher. The school he teaches is the high school that Zhang Youer attends.”

Upon hearing this, Cao Yang waved his fist and said, “Damn it, I finally found it!”

Luo Rui said coldly: “Issue a wanted order for the entire province, A-level!”

Cao Yang nodded: “I’ll do it right away!”

———-

Late at night half a month later.

A white car with a body covered in mud appeared in a small border town connecting Haixi Province with the outside world.

The buildings in this small town are gray, and since it is not market time, the streets seem deserted.

The man driving the car was wearing a black baseball cap. He glanced warily at the police station across the street, then turned the car around and drove towards a shabby hotel behind the town.

The man in the baseball cap and the woman in the passenger seat got out of the car and walked straight into the hotel.

“I need a room.”

The boss, who was watching TV while cracking sunflower seeds, asked without even turning his head, “What’s the price range? How long will you stay?”

“Just stay for one night, just book a room.”

The middle-aged boss turned his head and glanced at them: “Show me your ID card.”

The man in the baseball cap took out his ID card and handed it to the boss.

The boss didn’t even check whether the ID card was the same as the real person. He just handed the key to the other party after a simple registration.

“One hundred a night, one hundred deposit, two hundred in total.”

After receiving the money, the boss ignored him and continued watching TV.

After getting the key, the two men looked at the dark street outside the hotel and then went upstairs.

After inserting the key and opening the door, the two of them let out a deep breath.

The woman lay exhausted on the bed, staring blankly at the moldy ceiling.

The man put his travel bag on the ground, sat down in a chair, and said, “The money is almost gone.”

The woman said nothing.

The man continued: “I said the money is gone!”

The woman then turned to look at him: “Didn’t you withdraw tens of thousands of dollars in Linjiang City?”

The man sighed and said, “It cost 20,000 yuan to buy a second-hand car. Besides, you have been eating good food and buying a lot of things in the past half month. This money is definitely not enough.”

The woman was silent for a moment, then said, “Old Song, how about we turn ourselves in?”

“What a joke!” The man stood up and glared at her fiercely: “He Ying, you were the one who dragged me into this.”

The woman said slowly: “We can’t escape, we killed JC…”

The man sat back in his chair, his throat rolling, “We had no choice. We were too confident. We shouldn’t have let that woman go in the first place. If that woman had kept her mouth shut, how could the police have tracked us down?”

“Wrong!” The woman glared at him. “We shouldn’t have attacked that policeman.”

“It’s too late to say all this.” The man thought for a moment, and then he gathered his confidence: “It’s okay. It’s been half a month, and the police haven’t been able to catch us. As long as we escape and go out through that line, these police will never be able to catch us.”

The woman frowned and said, “Something’s not right.”

The man asked, “What’s wrong? Don’t scare yourself.”

The woman looked at him and said, “Before I ran away, I did a detailed investigation. For the last case we worked on, someone from the provincial department came, and the leader was a policeman named Luo Rui.

This policeman is very capable and has solved many major cases. Given his style, it is impossible that half a month has passed without any movement from the police.”

Hearing this, the man sneered: “Don’t think too much. Even if those policemen were useful, we wouldn’t do these things…”

The woman shook her head with a serious expression. She walked to the window and looked cautiously at the dark street. She said to herself, “All along the way, I always felt like I was being watched by the police. It seemed like those policemen deliberately didn’t arrest us…”
