Chapter 32
Heping road police station, Fuyang district.
At noon, the sun was blazing, and there was no sign of last night's storm as if it had never happened. The long alleys were bustling with excitement, shouts, cars honking and yells. People came to the police station to do business, and electric vehicles crowded from the parking shed all the way to the road.
A girl in a white dress staggered and stopped in the alleyway.
"....." With the rapid rises and falls of her chest, she let out an indistinct gasp and looked at the door of the police station with wide eyes. Several students passed by waving their school bags around and looking back at her with curiosity.
At last, as if she had made up her mind, she took a staggering step forward.
"Beep-"
The car honked, slowly drove up to the girl, and suddenly lowered its window, then a fierce, low voice came from the inside:
"Come up!"
It seemed as if the young girl was pricked by a hot needle, her footsteps stiffened.
A few curses came from inside the car, and then someone opened the door, grabbed the girl, and dragged her straight inside!
".......!"
The young lady let out a brief low-pitched scream, and then seemed to not dare to speak and did not make any more sounds.
The car door was slammed shut again, and the car window rose up, passing by the police station gate, and driving out of that winding alley.
--
Jianning City Public Security Bureau.
"How the fuck do you work, a few grown men let a little girl run away from under their noses, are your heads full of shit?!"
With a loud noise, Yan Xie smashed the stack of files on the conference table, and all the three or four policemen were so red in the face, none of them dared to raise their heads.
"Stupid! Ignorant! Fooled by a girl!" Yan Xie pointed at them one by one, the whole floor could hear his scolding: “Don't stay in the investigation team in the next quarter, go back to the logistics and eat dirt! Come back when you've passed the top three assessments and if you fail, stay at the police station for the rest of your life!"
The door opened, and Qin Chuan covered his mouth with one hand, coughing awkwardly.
"That... Lao-Yan, Ding Jiawang and his wife have both been arrested and they are being interrogated separately in the two interrogation rooms. "
Yan Xie coldly snorted, turned around and stormed off in a huff as several criminal policemen were still shivering.
"I don't know." Ding Jiawang sat in the shadow of the interrogation room, with noticeable blue and black eye circles, and his voice was hoarse but decisive: "Ding Dang is my daughter, but she is already a big girl, she usually lives on campus so she doesn’t come home and I can’t ask about her affairs.”
Yan Xie stood outside the single way glass window, wearing a Bluetooth headset, and the air pressure around him was so low, that it seemed he’d make it snow in June at any time.
This state of his clearly affected the men in the interrogation room, so much so that when Ma Xiang opened his mouth, there was not enough air for Ding Jiawang: "Our investigation discovered that your daughter Ding Dang had been driving a red Toyota Camry in and out of the mall many times. But the car was registered in the name of your wife's niece Liu Wanqiu by some illegal means. Don't you know anything about this?"
"I don’t know. I have no idea what car she drives."
With a loud bang, Ma Xiang got up and slapped a high-definition surveillance shot in front of Ding Jiawang: "That’s a lie!"
Ding Jiawang’s breathing sped up.
——In the picture, the red Camry was at the entrance of the International Financial Center shopping mall. The Ding family was coming out from the open car door.
"This is from the mall video surveillance footage from the Spring Festival." Ma Xiang said coldly, "You don't know she has a car, so are you in a fucking hearse?!"
“...I thought it was her classmate's," said Ding Jiawang, with trembling lips, "She told me it was her classmate's car, so I didn't ask more questions."
Resembling a scoundrel, Ma Xiang looked condescendingly as he straightened out the outer collar of his police uniform: "I'm telling you, out of the two interns you brought in, Feng Yuguang died for no reason, and Chu Ci's fate is unknown at the moment. This case is no longer something you can handle with resistance. Now that your daughter is missing, regardless if she’s on the run or has been kidnapped by a drug dealer, the possibility of her being safe is very slim. You'd better cooperate with the police immediately. In the best case you’ll at least be able to save your daughter's life. "
Ding Jiawang, who always seemed to be vulnerable, suddenly spoke up hoarsely to retort, asking: "How do you know it wasn't Chu Ci who kidnapped My daughter?"
"You-"
"My daughter is missing, and I'm the most anxious as her father. Instead of quickly solving the case and helping me get my daughter back, why did you bring me and my wife to the police station? "
Ma Xiang focused on the table: "We have sufficient evidence..."
"Even if my daughter really bought a car pretending to be her cousin, it's not a criminal offence, is it? How many years do you get for buying a car under another name?”
Ding Jiawang's face was pale and his hands under the table were trembling, but the fear of his life being ruined gave him some kind of power which helped him to withstand Ma Xiang's storm-like interrogation:
"One car alone and you’re already saying that my daughter was involved in drug trafficking. I also said that the car was not my daughter's at all! Do you have any proof? Do you have the license plate number? Who knows if you cops just can't solve the case so you’re using a minor mistake to make my daughter take the blame for everything?!"
Yan Xie kicked a chair over.
He doesn't have sufficient evidence!
The red Camry’s license plate was taken off before it was burned, and the engine and identification number had long been worn off. The relationship between the vehicle, which was used by the criminals, and the Ding family, and even the suspicion of Ding Dang, was based on a vague premise - Jiang Ting’s deduction based on the license plate number.
But deduction is not a criminal investigation. Reasoning is about exciting ideas, ups and downs, beautiful endings; criminal investigation involves a lot of boring repetitive work, all manpower and material resources are spent in the pursuit of empirical evidence, as well as the organization of a complete chain of evidence.
If they wanted to nail Ding Jiawang, they had to get something substantial.
The mobile phone shook in his pocket, a text message from “Lu” arrived:
"Did you find the electrician?"
Yan Xie's face was as heavy as water, he waved to stop the policeman who had the courage to come forward, picked up the chair that had been kicked down by him, went to the windowsill in the corner, pressed the voice button and whispered, "Found him. There are eight or nine technicians in charge of power line maintenance in the chemical factory, and one of them, Wang Le, did not come to work for two days. According to his family, he lost more than $100,000 in gambling some time ago, the entire sum had been borrowed from loan sharks, and he had a solid motive to commit the crime. "
Another text message flashed up: "Mobile location?"
"Gee, why the fuck do you need to tell me that? The day before yesterday at 8:30 p.m. he called his wife to say he wasn't coming home for dinner, and that was the last call he made on his cell phone. Lao Huang asked people to make an urgent positioning. "
The phone went silent.
Yan Xie stared at the darkened screen and suddenly had an unexplained thought: “Why didn't he reply to me?”
“Was I too harsh? Is he unhappy with me?”
As soon as this idea arose, Deputy Chief Yan was almost shocked by his own delicate, girlish mind. Right after that, the phone buzzed again and lit up in front of his eyes.
“Ding Jiawang didn’t confess?"
...This guy. Yan Xie unconsciously let out a sigh of relief, saying to himself that this guy was like a clairvoyant.
"Yes, I don't think so." Yan Xie whispered: "I've sent people to check the bank accounts of Ding's family and all his operations in the chemical plant, but even if we find evidence that he secretly used the controlled raw materials, it's difficult to immediately make this bastard talk. “Hey, Captain Jiang, do you have any ideas? Messing with the air conditioner and making it spray ice on the suspect doesn’t count. "
There was no reply from “Lu”, not even the "typing" logo could be seen. Thirty seconds passed, one minute passed. The minute hand moved two or three spaces.
…… It can’t be, even Jiang Ting is helpless? Yan Xie thought unexpectedly.
"I really don't want it. Take it back." In the restaurant's private room, Jiang Ting pushed away Yang Mei's soup spoon several times. Frowning he said, "I'm not Yan Xie, what did you order this big bowl of pig brain to make up for?"
Yang Mei: "Don't type on your cell phone. Have a good meal. The bastard with the surname of Yan is just using Jiang Ge as his permanent worker..."
Yan Xie had a weird expression on his face, and couldn’t help but look at the phone every few seconds. After he looked at it almost more than ten times, suddenly someone banged on the door twice, and then Director Huang of the technical detective rushed in: "I’m saying Lao Yan! That girl with the surname Ding—"
Buzz--
Voice!
Yan Xie almost picked up the case file and gagged Huang Xing's mouth, and immediately put the phone to his ear to listen to the message and heard Jiang Ting’s stable, calm voice:
"Ding Jiawang's wife, Zhang Jiao, is a housewife who has never worked outside. She has limited experience and social relations, so the possibility of Ding Jiawang telling her the specifics of the criminal record of Chi Rui and others is almost non-existent. In other words, Zhang Jiao does not understand whether the criminal records of these outlaws is gun-making, drug trafficking, or rape and murder."
"A mother gives birth to a daughter, and her daughter is very beautiful. What is her biggest worry? From this point of view, it's very easy to target the biggest fear in the mother's heart and break down her defense line. "
When the voice stopped, Yan Xie slowly put down his phone and thoughtfully took a breath.
"Lao Yan!" Huang Xing finally seized the opportunity to speak, and couldn't wait to say, "Don't be surprised. The Heping Road police station in Fuyang District has just received a notice of a coordinated investigation. They told us that they had found the trail of that girl Ding Dang-she got into a black car less than 100 meters from the door of the police station, and the surveillance video arrived!"
Like a flash of light, Yan Xie interrupted Huang Xing: "What was she doing at the police station?"
Huang Xing didn't respond.
"She went to turn herself in, or to expose someone." Yan Xie mumbled, "But halfway there...the black car blocked her way... maybe she was followed or even stopped by someone, maybe there were several men in the black car...more dangerous than Zhang Jiao thought...”
Huang Xing was confused: "What?" What did you say? "
‘Not enough time to explain. Just listen to me”, Yan Xie casually patted Director Huang on the shoulder and strode out: "Send me the video surveillance footage from the Fuyang district police station, and I will personally interrogate Zhang Jiao!"
.
In the private room of the restaurant, Jiang Ting released the voice button, put down his mobile phone, and just picked up the spoon again, when suddenly he felt a cold, resentful glare from across the room.
"..." Jiang Ting asked cautiously: "What's wrong?"
Yang Mei was wearing a new green dress from the spring-summer collection by an international brand, had light makeup and pure girl perfume, and the legendary chopped male lipstick. She revealed a pair of eyes from behind a large sea bowl of pork brains stewed with asparagus, blinking for a long time before slowly asking, "Who's beautiful?
“?”
"I occasionally feel that I am also very beautiful. Do you also think so? "
Jiang Ting: "..."
The room was very quiet, Jiang Ting’s soup spoon froze in mid air while he pondered for a long time under the expectant gaze from across the room.
"That girl is suspected of drug trafficking, order yourself some pig brains." Jiang Ting smiled slightly, decisively spreading the flames of war to the east he added : "Yan Xie is the most beautiful."
.
“……”
The door of the interrogation room was hurriedly pushed open. Zhang Jiao, like a ghost enclosed in an invisible prison, shivered violently and raised her head. Yan Xie pushed the door shut with his hand and strode into the room, placing the laptop on the small interrogation iron table:
"Zhang Jiao?"
"....."
"My colleague said that since you stepped into the door of the Municipal Bureau, you have only said:" My throat is sore, and I can only speak when I see a lawyer "- Is that right?”
Zhang Jiao closed her wrinkled mouth tightly, cowering, timid and alert.
It is true that she was in poor health, and long-term chronic diseases made her unfit to work outside, but Ding Jiawang's income as a private engineer was not enough to support a pampered wife at home. Yan Xie's stern eyes swept over the corners of her eyes that were covered with crow's feet, loose bags under her eyes and bitter lines on both sides of her nose. Ignoring her evasive smile, he snickered offhandedly, pulled up the security camera footage on his laptop and clicked play.
"No need to talk, see for yourself."
The scene captured by the HD surveillance camera showed a crowded street at midday. The girl in the white dress was wrapped in the flow of people coming and going, she was staggering inconspicuously, her weak back resembled an ant that could only be crushed at any time.
Zhang Jiao's drooping eyelids gradually widened, and her pupils tightened like thorns. A black Alto pulled up in front of the young girl, and a man's hand stuck out of the door dragging her daughter inside!
"...Dang...Dang!"
Zhang Jiao hadn’t spoken for several hours after entering the interrogation room, and her sudden cry was extremely hoarse. But Yan Xie ignored it, took out several pieces of paper from the computer bag and put them in front of her: "Do you know who is in that car?"
Zhang Jiao glanced at Yan Xie's fingers and saw the large black letters printed on the header of those papers that said - a coordinated investigation notice.
She kept her mouth shut like an old clam.
"What did Ding Jiawang tell you? The salary of chemical factory employees is too low these days. I'll do some business with some friends, so don't tell others'? Or 'Those officials are greedy, and good people don’t become bosses. If I risked everything like those friends of mine, my family would become rich."
Yan Xie looked at Zhang Jiao's face that gradually kept getting paler and paler, and said mockingly, "Ding Jiawang probably didn't tell you what crimes those so-called friends had committed, did he?"
Zhang Jiao watched helplessly as he moved his hand away, and several notices of co-investigation with clear portraits on the front came into view.
Wang Le, Chi Rui, Hu Weisheng-Yes, she knew all those people and saw them more or less around her husband. But the words printed under those familiar faces were so strange, "child molestation", "robbery and rape", "rape and murder" ….
Zhang Jiao's brain was buzzing and her eyes went black.
"Your daughter was taken away by them at the gate of the Heping Road police station. What did she want? Turn herself in or report them?” Yan Xie paused and smiled mockingly: "But it doesn't matter what she thinks. This girl has been missing for almost four hours. I think what should have happened has happened already. If your throat is uncomfortable for a while longer, the police can only pray that we’ll be lucky and keep at least a 1% chance of finding her corpse intact."
"Save-- help her!" Zhang Jiao screamed desperately, "Please help her! I said, I said! She's innocent. She doesn't know anything!"
Yan Xie slowly stood upright and stared from top to bottom at Zhang Jiao's tear-filled eyes.
"Wuhai, they have a 'laboratory' in Wuhai." Zhang Jiao could not stop sobbing: "I don't know exactly where it is. It should be a factory. They rented it in the name of processing moulds and packaging-- save my daughter. Dang Dang was harmed by her father. Those people were brought home by him. She is really very pure."
Yan Xie finally lifted his head and gestured to the single-way glass window that couldn't be peeked into from the outside.
In the other room outside the glass window, numerous detectives and technical investigations quickly got busy.
"How did Ding Jiawang harm her," Yan Xie asked in a deep voice, "Did he also know about Ding Dang's dating Hu Weisheng?"
Zhang Jiao seemed to find it hard to say anything, and nodded with a shiver.
"Hu Weisheng was more than ten years older than Ding Dang and didn’t have much money, what did Ding Jiawang see in him? Drug channels?"
Zhang Jiao's trembling frequency became more pronounced when she heard the word drug trafficking, almost like the dead leaves about to float down from the branches, but she still managed to barely squeeze out the voice from her throat, "Hu- Hu Weisheng had a bag of powder that's particularly - particularly powerful, worth lots and lots of money. They said if they could analyze the structural formula and make the same thing, they'd make enough money for the rest of their lives..."
At that moment, Yan Xie's face changed dramatically, and so did the faces of many policemen outside the interrogation room.
"What kind of powder? Is it blue? " Yan Xie cried out, "where did Hu Weisheng get this bag of blue powder?"
"I don't know, and I don't know exactly what's going on -" Zhang Jiao wailed, nodding and shaking her head, looking confused.
“I just heard... I heard that that powder could be addictive with little amount, even if it was watered down and only stained the skin. Once when Hu Weisheng got drunk he bragged that he used to work for a particularly big boss and had stolen the packet when no one was looking, and that if only he could figure out the recipe, he’d become rich for the rest of his life. He’d be rich... You have to save my daughter, please. I really don't know anything anymore. Dang, she's innocent!....."
Yan Xie hurriedly walked out of the interrogation room, and several policemen rushed forward, but he did not stop, shaking the several newly issued assistant inspection notices in his hand.
“ Someone hurry up and take these papers to the shredder. Remind me to treat the art team of the propaganda department to chicken legs when the case is solved! Bring me copper hydroxide, and then go with me to examine that grandson Ding Jiawang! Ma Xiang goes next door to pick up Diao Yong!"
The hands moved in response, only Gao Panqing took two steps and suddenly came back to his senses, "Wait Yan Xie- we have fooled Hu Weisheng with the copper hydroxide, but Ding Jiawang, who specializes in medical chemistry, may not be able to..."
"You understand nothing." Yan Xie was impatient, "Who told you that I'm going to use copper hydroxide to catch Ding Jiawang, from the beginning until now our target leading to the breakthrough has been Diao Yong, do you understand?"
"!" Gao Panqing was so enlightened, he almost flew up on the spot, turned and floated away on the soles of his feet.
"--And you, by the way." Suddenly Yan Xie caught a glimpse of Han Xiaomei standing behind the table. He seemed to remember something and pulled her into the corner.
"D-deputy Chief Yan."
"Regarding the information related to the 'blue drug' that was just given by Zhang Jiao, including the so-called particularly powerful boss.. you’re not allowed to mention a word to consultant Lu without my permission."
Yan Xie stared into her eyes and said, "Do you hear me?"
Han Xiaomei stood up and said, "Yes!"

Zhang Jiao hadn’t spoken for several hours after entering the interrogation room, and her sudden cry was extremely hoarse. But Yan Xie ignored it, took out several pieces of paper from the computer bag and put them in front of her: "Do you know who is in that car?"
Zhang Jiao glanced at Yan Xie's fingers and saw the large black letters printed on the header of those papers that said - a coordinated investigation notice.
She kept her mouth shut like an old clam.
"What did Ding Jiawang tell you? The salary of chemical factory employees is too low these days. I'll do some business with some friends, so don't tell others'? Or 'Those officials are greedy, and good people don’t become bosses. If I risked everything like those friends of mine, my family would become rich."
Yan Xie looked at Zhang Jiao's face that gradually kept getting paler and paler, and said mockingly, "Ding Jiawang probably didn't tell you what crimes those so-called friends had committed, did he?"
Zhang Jiao watched helplessly as he moved his hand away, and several notices of co-investigation with clear portraits on the front came into view.
Wang Le, Chi Rui, Hu Weisheng-Yes, she knew all those people and saw them more or less around her husband. But the words printed under those familiar faces were so strange, "child molestation", "robbery and rape", "rape and murder" ….
Zhang Jiao's brain was buzzing and her eyes went black.
"Your daughter was taken away by them at the gate of the Heping Road police station. What did she want? Turn herself in or report them?” Yan Xie paused and smiled mockingly: "But it doesn't matter what she thinks. This girl has been missing for almost four hours. I think what should have happened has happened already. If your throat is uncomfortable for a while longer, the police can only pray that we’ll be lucky and keep at least a 1% chance of finding her corpse intact."
"Save-- help her!" Zhang Jiao screamed desperately, "Please help her! I said, I said! She's innocent. She doesn't know anything!"
Yan Xie slowly stood upright and stared from top to bottom at Zhang Jiao's tear-filled eyes.
"Wuhai, they have a 'laboratory' in Wuhai." Zhang Jiao could not stop sobbing: "I don't know exactly where it is. It should be a factory. They rented it in the name of processing moulds and packaging-- save my daughter. Dang Dang was harmed by her father. Those people were brought home by him. She is really very pure."
Yan Xie finally lifted his head and gestured to the single-way glass window that couldn't be peeked into from the outside.
In the other room outside the glass window, numerous detectives and technical investigations quickly got busy.
"How did Ding Jiawang harm her," Yan Xie asked in a deep voice, "Did he also know about Ding Dang's dating Hu Weisheng?"
Zhang Jiao seemed to find it hard to say anything, and nodded with a shiver.
"Hu Weisheng was more than ten years older than Ding Dang and didn’t have much money, what did Ding Jiawang see in him? Drug channels?"
Zhang Jiao's trembling frequency became more pronounced when she heard the word drug trafficking, almost like the dead leaves about to float down from the branches, but she still managed to barely squeeze out the voice from her throat, "Hu- Hu Weisheng had a bag of powder that's particularly - particularly powerful, worth lots and lots of money. They said if they could analyze the structural formula and make the same thing, they'd make enough money for the rest of their lives..."
At that moment, Yan Xie's face changed dramatically, and so did the faces of many policemen outside the interrogation room.
"What kind of powder? Is it blue? " Yan Xie cried out, "where did Hu Weisheng get this bag of blue powder?"
"I don't know, and I don't know exactly what's going on -" Zhang Jiao wailed, nodding and shaking her head, looking confused.
“I just heard... I heard that that powder could be addictive with little amount, even if it was watered down and only stained the skin. Once when Hu Weisheng got drunk he bragged that he used to work for a particularly big boss and had stolen the packet when no one was looking, and that if only he could figure out the recipe, he’d become rich for the rest of his life. He’d be rich... You have to save my daughter, please. I really don't know anything anymore. Dang, she's innocent!....."
Yan Xie hurriedly walked out of the interrogation room, and several policemen rushed forward, but he did not stop, shaking the several newly issued assistant inspection notices in his hand.
“ Someone hurry up and take these papers to the shredder. Remind me to treat the art team of the propaganda department to chicken legs when the case is solved! Bring me copper hydroxide, and then go with me to examine that grandson Ding Jiawang! Ma Xiang goes next door to pick up Diao Yong!"
The hands moved in response, only Gao Panqing took two steps and suddenly came back to his senses, "Wait Yan Xie- we have fooled Hu Weisheng with the copper hydroxide, but Ding Jiawang, who specializes in medical chemistry, may not be able to..."
"You understand nothing." Yan Xie was impatient, "Who told you that I'm going to use copper hydroxide to catch Ding Jiawang, from the beginning until now our target leading to the breakthrough has been Diao Yong, do you understand?"
"!" Gao Panqing was so enlightened, he almost flew up on the spot, turned and floated away on the soles of his feet.
"--And you, by the way." Suddenly Yan Xie caught a glimpse of Han Xiaomei standing behind the table. He seemed to remember something and pulled her into the corner.
"D-deputy Chief Yan."
"Regarding the information related to the 'blue drug' that was just given by Zhang Jiao, including the so-called particularly powerful boss.. you’re not allowed to mention a word to consultant Lu without my permission."
Yan Xie stared into her eyes and said, "Do you hear me?"
Han Xiaomei stood up and said, "Yes!"
