Notes From A Criminal Investigation 8 Chapter 3

In the summer in Jiangzhou, the sun rises early. It is already light at five in the morning, and it is easy for people to find the body if it is dumped at this time.

After comprehensively analyzing the above conditions, Owen came to a conclusion: the place where the body was dumped was most likely further upstream, not within the urban area of   Jiangzhou, and might even be within the territory of Changqing County.

Ma Xiaobing said: "Owen, if Chen Zhi wanted us to handle this case, he would have given us the task long ago. He hasn't let us take over yet, so he will probably hand it over to Li Ming. Measuring the flow velocity is like a couple recognizing their relationship - it's a waste of time."

"I have seen the body parts in the Jiangzhou River. I would feel upset if I didn't measure the flow rate."

At this time, the phone rang. After Owen answered the phone, he said to Jiang Keyang: "I thought it was the captain's call to hand in the task, but it turned out not to be. Teacher Park is here, in the old criminal police building, and has something to talk to me about. Please invite the two engineers from the Water Conservancy Bureau to have a simple meal."

Jiang Keyang said: "Li Ming was already under a lot of pressure because he hadn't caught the murderer of the revenge murder. You solved a series of big cases, which put him under even more pressure. Li Ming wanted to use this dismemberment case to prove himself."

Owen said, "Let me correct you. It was a group that solved the case, not just me. To be honest, solving a case sometimes depends on luck, and we were lucky."

Jiang Keyang said: "Not everyone can have sh!t luck. The people who arrived at the scene today included the Xicheng Police Station, the Xicheng Criminal Investigation Brigade and us, and we were the only ones to measure the flow rate. We measured the flow rate and ran along the Jiangzhou River, and we might have sh!t luck. You will never have sh!t luck if you just talk about it in the office."

Owen laughed and said, "You are just bragging!"

Jiang Keyang said: "That's the fact."

Owen drove back to the old Criminal Police Building. Cars from Yangzhou, the provincial capital, were parked in the yard of the old building, and a "rustling" sound came from the information room on the fourth floor. Hearing this sound, Owen's mind flashed with the image of Lao Pu from the Provincial Public Security Department wearing red sneakers and waving a folding fan.

Lao Pu, Marcus, Director Lao Jiang and Wang Hua sat together, holding cigarettes between their fingers, chatting animatedly. Although the door was open, the room was still filled with smoke, and Owen felt like he was being hit by nicotine when he entered. Lao Pu was indeed dressed in a cool way, wearing red sneakers and holding a folding fan. He pointed to an empty seat with his fan and motioned Owen to sit down.

Owen greeted everyone, pulled out a chair and sat next to Wang Hua.

When Wang Hua first joined the 105th special case team, he had a big belly and difficulty bending over. He couldn't see his instep when he lowered his head. Under Marcus's supervision and encouragement, he insisted on exercising. Now his belly has completely deflated, and his whole body has shrunk. He has restored the normal body shape of a middle-aged man, and his spirit has greatly improved compared to when he was fat. He whispered to Owen: "We are discussing the new situation of Leo's case."

Lao Pu waved his folding fan and said, "There were no clues in the Leo case at first, but now we have tracked down Julian, who used the alias Wu Xinsheng. Our work has been very effective. The provincial department's special action on unsolved homicide cases has been brewing for a long time, and a lot of experience comes from the Jiangzhou 105 special case team. I agree with Lao Zhu's judgment that Julian is indeed a major suspect."

Marcus picked up the thermos cup, drank a sip of hot water, chewed the two wolfberries in his mouth, and then said slowly: "So far, there are many suspicious points about Julian, but there is no direct evidence to prove that Julian, who used the alias Wu Xinsheng, is related to these things. This is the biggest difficulty in this case. Wu Xinsheng changed his household registration in Huzhou, and his household registration was completely legal on the surface. After we reported the situation to the Huzhou Public Security Bureau, they attached great importance to the matter and conducted a thorough investigation of the problems in the household registration management in Gaoma Town, Mingyang County. As a result, 63 illegal household registrations were found. There are many ways to falsify household registrations, some of which are to use false materials to deceive the public, and some are to use false materials to deceive the public. Some took advantage of the police's carelessness to get away with it, some were internal collusion, some directly instructed their subordinates, and some took advantage of system loopholes to profit from the chaos. The police officer who handled Julian's household registration took advantage of his position as the household registration police officer of the police station, and colluded with others one after another. Under the pretext of settling college and university graduates, he entered population information into the computer out of thin air, and processed false household registrations for 63 people in Gaoma Town, Mingyang County, Huzhou City. Julian was one of them. The police officer, deputy director and director of the police station who handled the household registration have all retired. Now they have been detained and are expected to spend their old age in prison. It's a pity that they retired but can't spend their old age in peace. "

Director Jiang, who never tolerated any injustice, said indignantly: "This is his own fault. Don't try to steal. If you do, you will be caught. These people are too greedy and lawless."

Marcus took another sip of wolfberry water and said, "When the Huzhou police investigated Julian, Julian bluntly admitted that he had made a fake household registration. According to him, the fact that Gaoma Town Police Station made a fake household registration was a semi-open secret in the local area, and many people knew about it. After his father died, Julian could not get out of the shadow of his father's suicide for a long time. He changed his name to Wu Xinsheng just to cheer himself up. Julian also admitted that he had a nose surgery, which was very frank. Apart from the fake household registration, we really can't do anything to Julian. Julian is Zhu Qi's lover, and he is involved in the Huang Dasen bombing case and Qiu Hongbing's dismemberment case. He also has contacts with Xiao Xiao. He is a very complicated person. Owen, bring the whiteboard over and list Julian's basic situation."

Owen dragged over the whiteboard and wrote down Julian's main experiences according to the chronological clues.

1. On September 24, 1999, Yang Guoxiong committed suicide by jumping off a building.

2. On September 7, 2000, Yang Guoxiong's wife Wu Jianing passed away due to illness.

3. In April 2002 (the exact date cannot be verified), Julian left the Affiliated High School of Jiangzhou College and came to Qinyang No. 5 High School.

4. On November 12, 2003, Julian dropped out of Yangzhou University of Electronic Science and Technology at the age of 18.

5. In July 2005, Julian changed his name to Gaoma Town, Mingyang County, Huzhou City.

6. In 2008, Julian appeared next to Zhu Qi under the name Wu Xinsheng.

After writing Julian's main experience, Owen put down his pen and said, "From Yang Guoxiong's suicide to Julian's dropping out of school, this experience is continuous and there is circumstantial evidence. From dropping out of Yangzhou University of Electronic Science and Technology to appearing beside Zhu Qi, there is no circumstantial evidence for this experience, and we cannot track his whereabouts. During this period, Julian changed his name to Wu Xinsheng and had plastic surgery on his nose."
