I made a copy at the police station

The renovation of Li Xiang's hometown has also spread in the village. Li Xiang, who everyone used to look down on, has now made a comeback. Various medals are brought home. Village cadres and town cadres also come to his home to express condolences. This time their family wanted to build a house, and the procedures went through the village and town, and they all got the green light.

Of course, not all people in the village are good people. Some people smile with you on the surface but stab you behind your back. There are many such people in the countryside.

Seeing that Li Xiang has become prosperous, those people who suffer from red eye disease don't like other people's kindness, and secretly report Li Xiang for corruption and bribery. Otherwise, where will the money come from to build a house?

For this matter, the Jinghai Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection also secretly investigated Li Xiang's financial transactions, but found no problems, so they left it alone.

Of course, Li Xiang didn't know this.

After the house in his hometown was settled, he and Feifei went to Jinghai City, contacted the landlord, and decided to return the house first.

The house has just been rented for two months and has been vacant for one month. Including liquidated damages, it is three months' rent.

In other words, they stayed for a month and paid three times the rent, which made Li Xiang feel bad. Before this, he would have been able to live with the money for a year.

After greeting the landlord, Li Xiang moved their things out, folded down the back seats, loaded a cart full of things, and moved them to the provincial office.

"I originally promised to go to the institute for this house, and the rent would be reimbursed. Now that my project is completed, I don't know if the rent will still be reimbursed."

Li Xiang still has some money left to renovate his family's house. When it comes to money, he can save as much as he can.

After cleaning up the house, he was ready to go find Li Zhongqing.

It's time to start a new challenge.

It was rare for Li Xiang to wear formal uniform, with the rank of third-level police inspector. Except for the time he wore it on the podium that day, he had never worn it before.

After putting it on this time, I looked in the mirror and realized that it was quite handsome.

After sorting out his clothes, Li Xiang went to the provincial office with his head held high.

Arriving at the door of Li Zhongqing's office, Li Xiang straightened his collar again, and then gently knocked on the office door:

"Report."

"Please come in!"

When Li Zhongqing saw Li Xiang coming in, his eyes lit up: What a handsome young man!

Especially this police uniform made Li Xiang's figure stand out even more.

"Are you done with everything?" Li Zhongqing asked proactively.

"I'm done with my busy work. Now I can devote myself to investigating the case at any time. Please ask the leader to assign tasks."

"Okay, in that case, I will supervise the handling of the 3 case for the third time and set up a 21 case task force. You will be the leader of the task force. The administrative level is deputy director level and you will be directly responsible to me. Regarding the candidates for the task force, each department selects people. If you can’t make up your mind, I will select someone for you.”

"Thanks to Mr. Li for your hard work."

Regarding the selection of personnel, it would be fine if he was in the Jinghai City Public Security Bureau. He has a wide network of contacts there and is relatively well-known. If there is a shortage of people for the task force, there will be a lot of people rushing in, so there is no need to worry about recruitment. dissatisfied.

But now that he is in the provincial department and has almost zero personal connections, it is still difficult to form a task force.

He has no requirements for the members of the task force, as long as they can do practical things.

It would be great if Li Zhongqing could help him match this team.

"No problem. You haven't been in the provincial office for a long time and you don't know many people. In this case, I will assign 20 people to your team. If the number is not enough, you can continue to increase it."

"It's enough for the time being. If there are new clues, a large number of people will be needed to investigate. If there are not enough manpower, I will apply to you."

Li Zhongqing nodded and continued: "I have also arranged a deputy team leader for you, named Wan Shuan. He was the leader of the last critical team and he knows a lot about this case. Let him assist you. Learn the details of the entire case as soon as possible.”

In order to let Li Xiang become familiar with this case as soon as possible, Li Zhongqing planned to transfer the original team leader who investigated the case.

This shows how seriously he attaches importance to the formation of the task force.

"That couldn't be better."

There are advantages and disadvantages to having someone familiar with the case.

The advantage is that a familiar person can help Li Xiang understand the details of the case as soon as possible and know some details of the case.

But there are also disadvantages, that is, it is easy to fall into previous misunderstandings and follow the previous investigation route again. If you follow the same old path, the case still cannot be solved.

This requires Li Xiang to make reasonable use of this person.

At this time, Li Zhongqing picked up the landline phone on the table and dialed a phone number: "Hey, Lao Fan, come to my office."

"I called Fan Yonglin over to prepare the task force, and asked him to cooperate with you. If you have any questions, you can contact him. This is not the first time you have dealt with each other. If you have any questions, it's easy to talk to him."

"Thank you, Mr. Li."

After a while, Fan Yonglin knocked on the door and came over.

"Old Fan, there is something you need to coordinate."

"No problem. If you have anything to do, just give the leader a direct order." "Don't pretend to be serious, it's like this. I'm going to restart the 3 skull mystery case again and set up a task force. Li Xiang will be the leader of the task force, and then all the people will be involved. Shu An will be transferred here as the deputy team leader, and finally 21 elite soldiers will be transferred from various departments to form a task force, and you can arrange the office space."

"Yes, the task is guaranteed to be completed."

"Li Xiang, just follow Bureau Fan to prepare."

"Yes."

After leaving Li Zhongqing's office, Li Xiang followed Fan Yonglin to his office, and the two discussed the next work arrangements together.

The next step is to form a task force, select and allocate personnel, and arrange office space.

Li Xiang also participated in a personnel selection interview. He also read the files of all transferred personnel and issued transfer orders to his unit after agreeing.

The office space was also solved under the coordination of Fan Bureau, and the accommodation problem of the transferred personnel was also solved.

All preparations are basically completed.

A week later, all relevant personnel had arrived. The fastest one to arrive was Wan Shuan, who was also the deputy leader of the task force. He helped Li Xiang solve a lot of preliminary preparations.

For example, the case files and relevant evidence have been received at their office, and the members of the task force are classifying and managing these files.

Followed by Yang Ming and Li Yue, they had worked together in Miao Frogland before, and they had also made meritorious service after coming back. They went to the criminal investigation unit. This time they wanted people. Li Xiang saw their names and came over conveniently.

When Yang Ming and Li Yue came over and saw that the team leader was Li Xiang, they immediately showed surprised expressions: "Captain Li, are you there too? When did you come to the provincial office? You don't know how to contact us, so we brothers can help you. .”

"I've been here for a while and I'm quite busy with work. Now that I have the chance, I'll transfer you to the task force."

"It's great to be able to work together again."

The two of them had long regarded Li Xiang as their idol, and they were very cordial.

This made people who came later think that these two groups were a special task force that relied on flattery.

Before the registration deadline, everyone arrived, so Li Xiang organized a meeting for everyone:
"Everyone is here, let's have a brief meeting first. During this time, everyone who came early has already known me, while those who came late may not know me yet. Let me introduce myself briefly. My name is Li Xiang. He is the leader of the task force. Next to me is Wan Shuan, the deputy leader. He has participated in the investigation of this case and is relatively familiar with it. Now, Wan Shuan will introduce to you the basic situation of this case. "

Hearing Li Xiang's roll call, Wan Shuan stood up.

The people transferred to the task force this time are basically around 30 years old, and they are all elite soldiers selected by Li Xiang.

Only Wan Shuan is 45 years old and has some stubble on his face. Year-round exposure to the sun has resulted in dark skin on his face. His heavy police work has made him look a little vicissitudes of life. He can only be heard using his slightly hoarse voice. The voice said: "I am ashamed to say that it has been 3 years since the mysterious case of 21 occurred. In the 15th and 5th years, we established attack teams respectively, and once again listed this case as a key investigation case. This is the second time I have The leader of the task force, but unfortunately, this case was not closed in my hands, and it has become a knot in my mind. I hope that the task force established this time can crack this hard nut and put an end to my problem. This knot."

Wan Shuan first introduced the background of the case, and then started to get to the point: "The place where the case occurred is located in Chengzhong Village in the north of the city. It was developed relatively late, and most of the housing is mainly employee dormitories. I initially investigated At that time, the area was being demolished, but fortunately no one had been relocated. I understood some of the situation. Now that it has been completely demolished and high-rise buildings have been built, the place where the crime occurred cannot be restored. However, when the crime occurred, the police who were dispatched at that time I still took a lot of photos, so I can use them to restore them.”

Wan Shuan then pasted the photos of the scene in the evidence bag one by one on the case analysis board.

"The overgrown wasteland you see is the scene of the crime. The first person to find the body was named Zhang. He was a retired male teacher. He was bored at home when he saw the wasteland next to him. I thought it was a pity that it was deserted, so I wanted to renovate the land and grow some vegetables. During the process of loosening the soil, I dug up the bones, so I immediately called the police."

"The police rushed to the scene quickly and dug out all the bones. Through on-site investigation, the police found that the body was also wearing a women's T-shirt, a pair of bell-bottom pants, and a pair of shorts. Apart from that, no other traces were found. Value clues. Preliminary judgment at the scene is that this is a murder case."

"After the incident, the first task was to determine the source of the corpse. Since the corpse at this time was already in a skeletal state, it would take several years to form this state. This means that the specific time of the incident cannot be determined. Related The physical evidence at the scene has also disappeared with the passage of time, making it very difficult to find the source of the body."

"At that time, the police were divided into two groups, one conducting autopsies and the other investigating and visiting missing persons. The forensic doctor found through the autopsy that the deceased was a female, about 20 years old, give or take 3 years, and about 1 meters tall. There was a slash mark on the top of the left temple. The deceased was suspected to have been killed by a kitchen knife. Due to the severe ossification, the forensic doctor was unable to deduce the exact time of death. Fortunately, the DNA biological specimen of the deceased was extracted, but it was a pity that it could not be compared. match."

"The key to solving the case is to first determine the time of death so as to narrow the scope of the investigation. Through visits, we found that this wasteland was not deserted five years ago. There was an old man walking like this at that time, but later the old man passed away and no one was there. After sowing, the shortage subsided, so the police focused their investigation on all the missing women in the five years from 2003 to 2008. Through the investigation, they found a total of 67 missing women with police records, and all of them were included in the investigation. After checking, no one matching the conditions was found.”

Knowing that he was going to return to the task force, Wan Shuan took advantage of the opportunity of moving the case to once again strengthen his impression of the case.

He knew that Director Fan transferred him to the task force again, obviously because of his understanding of the case.

However, five years have passed and he can't remember many details.

In the past few days, he had gone through the files again and remembered all the details of the case.

"To this end, the police spent a lot of manpower and material resources to conduct house-to-village investigations. All women who had not returned from working for many years, or who had been out of contact for many years, were re-registered. At the same time, another The police team also conducted a large-scale search of the tops and pants extracted from the scene, but no valuable clues were found. The investigation of the case reached a deadlock, and in the end due to lack of clues, it was dropped."

"With the advancement of criminal investigation technology, this case has been brought up again. We have used powerful DNA data comparisons but still have no results. We have repeatedly established files, transcripts, and testimonies, and we have gained nothing. At that time, skull recovery technology had been circulated. We invited the well-known Professor Liu Shaoming to restore the skull, but because of the two scars on the skull, the restoration results were somewhat biased. We visited the people again based on their appearance after restoration, but there was still no result."

With Wan Shuan's introduction, other members of the task force also had a clear understanding of this case. The reason why this case is a mystery is because there are too few clues left to the police.

"Captain Li, the basic situation of the case is this."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work. Please sit down."

Li Xiang motioned for Wan Shuan to sit down first, then looked at everyone and said, "What do you think about this case?"

"This is simply an unsolved case. It's very difficult."

"Yes, now this place has been demolished, and it is even more difficult to find the original people to understand the situation."

"All the clues to the case 20 years ago have been buried in the long river of history. It feels like there is no way to start."

The people who can join the task force are all elites from various units. At this time, even they feel that they have no idea where to start investigating this case. (End of chapter)
