The Heavens of Film and Television: From Serving as a Soldier

Chapter 214: The True Stratagem 6
In the distance, there was a lot of noise in the captain's office. Xiao Wang was arguing with Deputy Captain Liu Zhi.

Zhou Xun, who had just walked out of the door, rushed in and said, "Hey, Old Liu heard that you returned victorious. How about we choose a place to catch your breath in the evening?" Zhang Yang followed closely behind, and Guan Hongfeng also walked in.

Deputy Captain Liu said, "It's okay. I heard that a murder occurred when I came back and you were busy at the scene. I won't disturb you." He looked at Zhang Yang and said, "This is Xiao Zhang who just came. I heard that you are from the Municipal Bureau. You have a bright future. Do a good job." After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave. Unexpectedly, when he turned around, he saw Guan Hongfeng.

"Captain Guan, welcome. Come back and support our work."

Guan Hongfeng nodded slightly and saw the case file in Deputy Captain Liu's hand. "Even though you have been working for such a long time, if you really encounter a difficult case, you can't do it without your participation."

Guan Hongfeng just looked at Zhou Xun and said, "As I should. Why don't you guys talk first? I'll go to the meeting room first."

Zhang Yang was also about to follow him out, but Zhou Xun said, "Xiao Zhang, you stay here first." Guan Hongfeng went out after saying that.

After watching Guan Hongfeng leave, Deputy Captain Liu said, "Zhou Xun, you are fooling around."

"Don't come at me, the leader approved it."

"Okay, I asked. You were the one who started this."

"Old Guan was able to solve the case, which is equivalent to saving lives in disguise. It can also help us get back some talented people who graduated from the police academy. Even if I was the one who did it, solving the case and saving lives is always right."

"Don't you think about why he came back to this useless police consultant? He has a purpose. Now you have given him the opportunity to come and go as he pleases. What if he steals Guan Hongyu's case file?"

Zhang Yang then said, "Deputy Captain Liu, you are going too far. Captain Guan is a police officer. He understands the importance of the case files and would never steal them."

Zhou Xun nodded and said, "Zhang Yang is right. Besides, the case file is in my office. He will be more worried about losing it than we are."

"How are you sure?"

"Lao Guan has been in charge of the team for so many years, he must have a few confidants, and he knows everyone's IQ. If this volume is really lost, you will definitely put the suspect label on his forehead immediately."

"I don't care what you say. I will keep this file for the time being." After saying that, he was about to leave with the file.

Zhou Xun said, "No problem. This case will be yours. If Guan Hongyu catches us, we can exchange our official titles. Good luck."

"Patron Zhou, let me tell you, you called back the family of a criminal suspect, a scum who was expelled from the police force, to participate in the work of the police force. If anything goes wrong, you will be held fully responsible."

"I will take the responsibility that I should take. If I can't take it anymore, I still have you. Besides, you have to know that it was Lao Guan who fired our team, not us."

"Zhou Xun, I'm telling you, I don't care about these. I just know that he is a relative of the suspect, that's enough." He then took the case file and said, "I'll take this."

Zhou Xun's expression changed and he said, "Wait a minute, I'll tell you, Liu Changyong, you're much older than me and I should call you Brother Liu, but I'm the captain of this detachment and you're the deputy captain, so you should just call me Captain Zhou from now on."

Liu Changyong glanced at Zhou Xun and left.

Zhang Yang watched him walk out and said, "Captain Zhou, you played really dirty. Do you really think Teacher Guan can't see it?"

Zhou Xun just smiled, picked up a cigarette and lit it, and said, "If Guan Hongfeng wanted to see this case file, he would have found a way to see it a long time ago. The archives room and the municipal bureau archives room have backup copies, but he just wanted to see it from me."

Zhang Yang nodded and said, "We can't let someone lose their job just for a case file."

Zhou Xun said, "You should go out too. Don't forget your job and your police uniform."

Zhang Yang went to the meeting room first, and Zhou Xun planned to go there after finishing his cigarette.

In the conference room.

When Guan Hongfeng saw Zhang Yang walk in, he knew that Zhou Xun's trick had worked, and he could only smile bitterly in his heart.

Soon Zhou Xun came in and said, "Xiao Zhou, you are responsible for recording." Then he came to Guan Hongfeng. As soon as Zhou Xun sat down, Guan Hongfeng said, "What do you mean? Are you kidding me?"

"What are you brushing? What did I do?"

"Where's what I want?"

"Liu Changyong took the case file away."

"I didn't expect him to do this to you."

"Did you not expect it or did you calculate it accurately?"

Zhang Yang said at this time: "Captain Zhou, let me introduce the male corpse that was found this morning."

"The male corpse found this morning was confirmed to be a person who was arrested for gang-related crimes and released after serving his sentence. His name is Qi Weidong. He was released at 9:30 yesterday morning. Officer Zhao introduced the traces."

Zhao Qian said: "The deceased was carrying a black shoulder bag, which contained a certificate of release from prison, an expired ID card, 297.6 yuan in cash, 60 cents of which was coins. A pack of Baisha brand cigarettes, a lighter, and a bunch of keys. There was an invoice from Tianbao Trade City for 7,499 yuan, but no specific items were written and no corresponding items were found. The invoice was dated yesterday, and there were two mint candies, which should be the kind given by the hotel."

"These are the only items found at the crime scene. There are photos and a list. Please take a look." He handed it to Zhou Xun and continued, "The crime scene is in the old city west of Huquan Road in this district. The buildings in this area are scattered and the entrances and exits cannot be defined by roads in the usual sense. The murderer could move around in this area by climbing over the wall or using the back door."

"There is a north-south interchange about 75 meters from the main road on the south side, extending northward to three exits. Each intersection is equipped with fixed barrier posts, which basically eliminates the possibility of motor vehicles entering and exiting. After a preliminary visit, we found that more than half of the houses in this area are rented to migrant workers. The local police station will deliver the population registration form tonight."

"There are five surveillance cameras within a 300-meter radius of the crime scene, which basically cover the four intersections radiating from the crime scene. Two of them are traffic surveillance cameras, and three are security surveillance cameras. The surveillance data is being retrieved, but we still need to coordinate with the Traffic Management Bureau to cut off the time period. It should be delivered tomorrow."

Zhou Xun asked, "How is the visit to the witnesses going?"

Xiao Zhou was stunned and said, "Huh?"

Zhao Qian continued, "The police station is still conducting interviews, but there has been no progress so far. We suggest that we restore the victim's location and route based on the physical evidence and expand the scope of the interviews to try to find eyewitness clues."

Guan Hongfeng said, "Let's put it this way for now. Based on the condition of the victim Qi Weidong's body and Captain Zhou's visit, we currently know that Qi Weidong should have drunk with a former subordinate named Yaoji last night, but he didn't drink much. Afterwards, he had a physical conflict with more than two people. This was before he was actually attacked, and I don't think the injuries on his body were caused by the previous attack."

Zhou Xun said: "To put it bluntly, the two brothers that Yaoji sent to look for him were indeed beaten up by Qi Weidong, but Qi Weidong himself was also beaten up, and the one who beat him up was an expert."

"Ouch, but the one with the knife..."

Zhang Yang said: "The one who uses a knife is definitely an expert. I should have some say in this."

Zhou Xun said, "Tell me about it."

Zhang Yang immediately pulled out a knife from his waist and said, "This is a military knife given to me by my instructor. I carefully looked at the slashes on Qi Weidong's body. All 34 of them avoided vital parts. This kind of slashes is not something that ordinary people can do, not even police officers can do. He must be a veteran, a special forces soldier, or a member of the armed police internal security force."

"Although I can't see any pattern in these wounds, anyone who can do this can definitely inflict these 34 cuts and slashes on vital points within three seconds." Zhang Yang said, "First you have to know how to attack the vital points so that you can better avoid them, just like learning martial arts by getting hit first."

Guan Hongfeng nodded and said, "Zhang Yang is right. Among the thirty-four cuts and slashes, only two appear to be defensive wounds. This means that Qi Weidong had no power to resist when facing the murderer."

Zhou Xun said, "I agree with the technical team's suggestion. Following up on Qi Weidong's relics may be of some value. When visiting, each field investigation team must combine the physical evidence information and try to find a breakthrough. That's it."

"Scattered"

After the meeting, Zhang Yang walked at the end and looked at Zhou Shutong and said, "Don't be in a daze during meetings in the future. You were asked to come to the police force to learn and practice, not to fantasize."

Xiao Zhou nodded and said, "I understand."

Zhang Yang smiled. The naive child was about to be sold but he was still smiling while helping others count money.
