I'm not a super cop

Chapter 18 An Old Case

"Here, hold out your hand...um, all right."

Xiao then took a step back, looked at the shining handcuffs, and thought they were very beautiful.

"Police, Comrade Police, what do you mean?"

Zhou Kelin looked at the handcuffs on his wrists in disbelief, and then murmured after being stunned for a long time.

"Zhou Kelin, right? You seriously injured a person in a certain county of Anhui Province last month and have not recovered yet. You are already wanted."

Xiao Ran looked at the bewildered Zhou Kelin, and said solemnly, but depending on the situation, Kelin probably didn't know what he had committed this week.

"This, this is impossible! Slow down and let me slowly..."

Zhou Kelin patted his head, raised his head and asked, "Is there still time for me to run?"

Xiao Ran was also taken aback when he heard this, and pointed to the handcuffs on his hands in surprise: "Is it time for you to put them on? Stay and drink tea!"

Zhou Kelin slumped on the stool, seeming a bit unacceptable: "I just kicked him, why did he get seriously injured?"

"The femoral head—that is, the thigh root is broken. When I return to your local area, I will explain the situation at that time. If it is clear, the punishment may be smaller."

Xiao Ran's tone was very gentle. This person is not a bad person. If he was a bad person, the eyes of justice must have warned him. Maybe it was an unintentional mistake.

Zhou Kelin covered his face and cried, "Why did I kick him..."

"What's going on here?" Zhang Lei hurried over and asked in a low voice.

Xiao Ran briefly explained the situation, and Zhang Lei opened his mouth in disbelief: "There is also such a good thing waiting for you—"

Before he finished speaking, the fellow came to his senses, jumped up regretfully and glared at Xiao Ran, saying: "I'll go to Xiao Ran and you pick my peaches, this should be my credit!"

"It was you who forced me to do it for you." Xiao Ran spread his hands, his expression a little frightened.

Zhang Lei looked lonely, and said with nothing to love: "Your uncle, you are really lucky. I have been sitting here for more than half an hour without seeing a single bird!"

"Luck is sometimes linked to looks." Xiao Ran smiled slightly and raised his brows.

Zhang Lei's face darkened: "So?"

"You're not as good-looking as I am."

"Your uncle, I want to break up with you!"

Zhang Lei clutched his chest, it was heart-piercing pain...

After lunch, the team took a short leisurely break. Xiao Ran sat in his seat and continued to read the old cases in H City.

Although the cases that Xiao Ran participated in were solved quickly these days, these are just a few exceptions. The progress of many criminal cases is still very difficult. The solution of each case is the result of the joint efforts of a large number of police officers.

Perhaps everyone pays more attention to the outstanding role played by the star police, but Xiao Ran knows that more credit should be given to those colleagues who silently visited. It is their sweat and persistence that made it possible accumulated clues.

In particular, the resolution of some old cases was limited by the social development and technological means of the year. Many cases could only be shelved temporarily, but shelving does not mean giving up. These old cases were assigned to various teams and were brought up again whenever they had the opportunity.

It is precisely because of the persistence of groups of police officers that old and unsolved cases continue to be announced to be solved, and the victims are given a belated justice.

The file Xiao Ran was looking at was one of the unsolved cases taken over by the third team, a homicide case by electric shock 13 years ago.

The location of the incident was located in a basement hotel back then. People's economic conditions were not high at that time. In order to save money, some tourists preferred to live in such a small hotel.

There are no single rooms in the hotel, all rooms are shared by three people. Since the passengers living in the rooms do not know each other, theft often occurs.

According to the check-in registration at the hotel, the investigators learned that the victim in this case was named Li Jiaguo.

The time when he received the report from the hotel was August 8 of that year, and he had just checked into the hotel two nights ago.

According to the information in the file, when the waiter went in to clean the room at first, he didn't find anything unusual about the victim, but thought Li Jiaguo was sleeping.

It wasn't until two days later that there was a peculiar smell coming out of the house, and when the waiter entered the house again to clean, he realized that something was wrong, because the waiter found that the victim had been in the same position for so long.

The waiter stepped forward to touch the victim, and found that the victim had no temperature on his body, and there was blood on the corner of his mouth. When he sniffed again, he found that the victim was not breathing.

After receiving the report, the criminal police team in Hangzhou City quickly dispatched the police, but since the scene had been cleaned by the waiters, no usable traces could be collected.

After examining the body, the forensic doctor found burn marks on the victim's chest. After a comprehensive judgment, he believed that Li Jiaguo died from an electric shock.

According to the judgment of the forensic doctor, the investigators at that time inspected the room where the accident occurred again, and found that in the room where Li Jiaguo lived, there was only one power socket on the wall.

From this, the investigators believed that the perpetrator should have connected the wires to lead the current to the bed where Li Jiaguo was resting.

After careful observation, the investigators finally found that the vents on the walls of the room showed signs of passive movement.

After opening the vent, investigators found a tangle of wires, a knife wrapped in two purchase receipts, and four fingerprints, but only one of the four fingerprints could be identified.

It is a pity that this fingerprint is also incomplete, only a quarter of the complete fingerprint.

The purchase order wrapped with the knife belonged to Li Jiaguo, so the police determined that the wire and knife should be the murderer's tools, and the fingerprints were naturally left by the murderer.

After checking the check-in registration form that day, the police found that there was only one person named Li Yiqing who lived in the same room with Li Jiaguo that night.

The investigators determined that this person named Li Yiqing was suspected of committing a major crime. However, because the hotel occupancy was irregular at that time, the police found after investigation that the ID number filled by this person named Li Yiqing was completely fabricated.

The work unit that Li Yiqing filled out was a traditional Chinese medicine hospital in a certain city in Jilin Province, and the investigators rushed to this hospital. After questioning, they found that there was no employee named Li Yiqing in this hospital at all.

Obviously, all the information registered by the suspect is false.

At this time, the police who visited the victim's hometown sent a message. After understanding, the victim Li Jiaguo was 28 years old, worked in a state-owned enterprise, and had just been married for a year.

According to Li Jiaguo's wife's recollection, Li Jiaguo treated people kindly and never had any enemies. When Li Jiaguo came to H City on a business trip to pick up goods, he carried a family heirloom of jade around his neck and 1 yuan on his body.

Thirteen years ago, 13 yuan was equivalent to the total annual income of a Yinshi family. However, when the investigators searched for Li Jiaguo's belongings, they did not find jade or cash.

Obviously, the murderer killed for money.

In the next two years, the investigators continued to visit and found that after this case, several similar cases of murder for money occurred in neighboring cities and neighboring provinces.

However, limited by the technical means of the year, no useful information was found, and in the fingerprint search of the whole province led by the provincial department, the technicians did not find the same fingerprint.

It has been 13 years in the blink of an eye, and most of the old detectives who handled the case have retired, only this fingerprint is quietly lying in the file bag, quietly waiting for the day when the truth will be revealed...

Xiao Ran took this incomplete fingerprint photo, looked at it quietly, and silently imprinted all the details into his mind.

Perhaps he will not encounter similar fingerprints in many years to come, but as a criminal policeman, he must make preparations for each case and be prepared.

"Xiao Ran, here we are..."
