Detective: Open your eyes, I am handcuffed in the interrogation room.

Chapter 634 Destruction of the Family
This urban village has been basically abandoned, and 90 percent of the residents have moved into apartment buildings, so the actions of the Economic Investigation Detachment did not attract attention.

It is precisely because of this that Tang Hongyi chose to directly surround them with great fanfare rather than arresting them secretly to reduce the impact.

Boom boom boom!
There was a knock on the door, echoing down the alley.

After waiting for a while without any response, the police officer continued knocking.

After five minutes, no one opened the door, so the officer sought instructions through the microphone: "Tang Zhi, what should we do?"

Tang Hongyi did not hesitate: "Break the door!"

"Yes!"

boom!
The sturdy door-breaking hammer hit the iron sheet hard, and with a deafening explosion, the door flew open. Several police officers from the Economic Investigation Brigade rushed in with guns, ran through the yard at the speed of a 100-meter race, and kicked the front door open.

Just as he was about to go in, the police officer in the front saw something, his face suddenly changed, he quickly gestured and yelled: "Stop!!"

The arrest operation came to an abrupt halt. Several police officers standing at the door were horrified and retracted their raised feet before they even landed to prevent damage to the scene.

In front of him was a shocking death scene.

Next to the coffee table not far from the main entrance, a man was lying face down in a pool of blood, with three or four bloody marks on his back, as if he had been stabbed several times in succession.

The distance was a bit far, so it was impossible to tell whether he was dead or alive by his body temperature and heartbeat, but the blood around him had already coagulated, and corpse spots appeared on the man's body, so he was definitely dead.

Several people did not dare to step forward and had to wait for Tang Hongyi to arrive before making a decision.

Tang Hongyi's footsteps were heard soon, and everyone made way.

Seeing the situation inside the house, Tang Hongyi's expression changed and his face suddenly became extremely ugly.

The man's appearance was vaguely recognizable as Ji Jingfu. He did not expect that just when he had locked down the identity of the suspect in the case, he found that the other party had been killed during the arrest.

He didn't know what had happened, and the most important thing right now was to contact the criminal investigation team immediately to handle the matter.

Economic investigation cannot solve homicide cases.

"Is there anyone in there?"

Tang Hongyi shouted.

“Is there anyone inside?”

"You, go in and take a look. Be careful, walk along the edge and don't destroy the scene."

There are four people in Ji Jingfu's family. One of them is dead and there are three left. We need to determine the condition of the other three. If anyone is injured, call an ambulance immediately.

The police officer took the order: “Yes!”

Tang Hongyi took out his cell phone and prepared to call the Hongzhong Branch. He thought for a moment before pressing the dial button, and finally called Lu Zhengkai first, asking him to report to Zhou Yebin.

The Economic Investigation and Criminal Investigation departments will probably have to cooperate in investigating this case. He still prefers to trust the Criminal Investigation Detachment of the Bureau. Although this is under the jurisdiction of the Hongzhong Branch, at least the Criminal Investigation Detachment should be involved.

Lu Zhengkai was in a meeting at the police station investigating another case when he received a call from Tang Hongyi. The two talked for a while. At this moment, the police officer who had gone in to check other rooms came back, walking very fast and saying, "Tang Zhi! They're all dead!!"

There was undisguised shock in his voice.

The seriousness and severity of the case rose several levels the moment it was confirmed that Ji Jingfu's entire family was dead.

"What?!" Tang Hongyi couldn't believe it. "Two children died too?"

The police officer nodded affirmatively: "Dead!"

"Fuck! What a beast!" Tang Hongyi cursed the murderer's ancestors, and then shouted into the phone: "Lu Zhi! The whole family of four is dead! The two children are less than ten years old!"

There was silence on the other end of the phone for three seconds. Lu Zhengkai also needed time to absorb the information. Soon, a voice rang out: "I will report to Director Zhou immediately!"

He put down the case in his hand, left the meeting room and went to find Zhou Yebin.

Office of the Deputy Director.

Zhou Yebin stood up suddenly, his expression became extremely serious, and he immediately issued an order, asking the Municipal Bureau's Criminal Investigation Detachment and the Branch Bureau's Criminal Investigation Brigade to rush to the scene to investigate.

"Yes!"

Lu Zhengkai gathered the team and set off.

Lu Guangjun from the branch also received orders from his superiors and led a team to Xintou Town.

An hour later, the urban village in Xintou Town was filled with police cars, cordons were set up inside and outside, and there was a checkpoint every three steps, attracting many nearby residents and passers-by to watch, wondering what big thing had happened.

Crime scene.

A pedal has been built for the on-site investigation, leading directly from the door to all the rooms. The on-site investigators and forensic doctors carefully step on the pedal to enter and exit, conducting preliminary investigations and autopsies.

In the courtyard, three team leaders were communicating.

Tang Hongyi has already recounted the entire process. The Economic Investigation Brigade has been looking for Ji Jingfu during this period. They just locked down his location today, but they did not expect to see this scene when they were arresting him.

Destroy the whole family.

It has been a long time since I heard of a family massacre, and now it happened in Yangcheng.

If the on-site investigation cannot identify the murderer in a short period of time, such as finding fingerprints or DNA, the provincial department will definitely set up a special task force.

The case of annihilating a whole family is already a major criminal case.

"Tang Zhi, does he have any enemies? Or are there interested parties who have been silenced?" Lu Guangjun asked Tang Hongyi.

Tang Hongyi was unable to answer this question. From the beginning to the end, the Economic Investigation Detachment's target was only Ji Jingfu, and no other major suspects were found to be involved in the case during the process.

Upon learning that Ji Jingfu was the biggest boss behind the scenes, Lu Zhengkai frowned. If that was the case, the probability of silencing him would not be high, and silencing him would not require killing the entire family!

There is really no need for the other party to silence the whole family. It will not gain any benefit except attracting more police to participate in the investigation of the case.

Unless there is a grudge.

Lu Zhengkai tends to believe that there is a grudge, but now is not the time to analyze it. He needs to wait until the results of the on-site investigation come out.

Half an hour later, Zhuo Yun left the scene and came to the yard, and took off his mask, gloves and shoe covers.

"Lu Zhi, Tang Zhi, Captain Lu."

Lu Zhengkai and Tang Hongyi nodded, and Lu Guangjun responded: "Deputy Zhuo."

Tang Hongyi asked: "What's the situation? Tell me."

Zhuo Yun took a deep breath, suppressed his anger and said, "According to the preliminary forensic identification, the victim Ji Jingfu's wife died of rape and murder. No body fluids were found. The cause of death was excessive blood loss due to a ruptured carotid artery, which means her throat was cut. Ji Jingfu had four penetrating wounds on his chest. He was stabbed from the front with a dagger, causing massive bleeding in his internal organs and death. The other two..."

He paused and continued, "The other two had their mouths sealed and their hands tied behind their backs. They were raped and their throats were slit. The cause of death was suffocation caused by the slit throat. There was no body fluid remaining." The last sentence stunned Lu Zhengkai and the other two. They almost suspected that they had heard it wrong.

After realizing what was happening, the three of them became furious.

"What kind of beast is this? You have lost all conscience, right? You are a psychopath, right?" Lu Zhengkai cursed. "Fuck!"

No matter what infuriating things Ji Jingfu had done, what does it have to do with his innocent descendants?
Every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt has its creditor. No matter how much you vent your anger, you should not involve innocent people.

Lu Guangjun and Tang Hongyi were not idle either. They continued to greet the murderer's ancestors. Just as Lu Zhengkai said, this person is no longer a human being and has no mercy at all.

I haven't met such a madman in a long, long time.

"Go on!" Lu Zhengkai gritted his teeth, took out cigarettes and handed them to several people, hoping to use nicotine to calm his emotions.

Zhuo Yun said: "The murderer had premeditated the murder. We have not found the fifth person's footprints at the scene yet, but there is a half footprint outline left near Ji Jingfu's body, extending from deep to shallow all the way to the door. The footprint has no sole pattern and is very flat. He was wearing shoe covers.

Also, Ji Jingfu's wife had already packed her luggage, and it was speculated that she was about to run away.

Judging from the approximate time of death, if Ji Jingfu had not been killed, Tang Zhi’s arrest operation would have been in vain.”

Tang Hongyi was surprised: "He was going to run away a long time ago? How long has he been dead?"

Zhuo Yun: "The forensic doctor said it would take about thirty hours. The exact time requires us to go back to the police station for a full autopsy."

Thirty hours...

Tang Hongyi thought about it. Thirty hours ago, he had not yet received Ji Jingfu's portrait.

Is your nose so sharp? You can detect the crisis in advance and prepare to run away.

in case……

There is no if. Things have already happened, and now it’s not just Ji Jingfu who is dead.

"Anything else?" Lu Zhengkai continued to ask.

Zhuo Yun said: "I judged that Ji Jingfu had not returned when the murderer committed the crime. This is also the reason why the body was lying not far from the main gate. The murderer should not have come for Ji Jingfu. After killing Ji Jingfu's wife and children, he happened to meet Ji Jingfu who was returning home. After the two sides met, there was a fierce fight. During the process, Ji Jingfu was stabbed four times and died on the spot."

Lu Zhengkai turned his head and glanced at the half bloody footprint extending at the door. If Ji Jingfu was at home when the murderer committed the crime, there would not be such footprints left. The best explanation was that they met by chance when the murderer left after committing the crime.

Aren’t you here for Ji Jingfu?

Lu Zhengkai was a little unsure. If he was not here for Ji Jingfu, then investigating Ji Jingfu's interpersonal relationships would be meaningless.

Could it be that the murderer had a grudge against Ji Jingfu’s wife?

"Investigate carefully and don't miss any details," said Lu Zhengkai.

Zhuo Yun: "Yes!"

After killing four people in a row, the murderer might leave DNA and fingerprints, but the murderer even brought shoe covers, so the criminal investigation team needs to be prepared to get nothing.

The three captains left the yard to look for surveillance, but unfortunately the location of the urban village was too remote, and there was a lack of private surveillance as the residents were alone. There were either no surveillance cameras around or the surveillance cameras had fallen into disrepair and were broken, so there was little hope.

At the intersection, Lu Guangjun put out the cigarette in his hand and said, "This person has a certain anti-reconnaissance ability and should not ignore the surveillance. Even if we are lucky enough to take a picture of him, I am afraid we can only get a silhouette."

Lu Zhengkai looked into the distance and said, "Turn right ahead and you will reach the national highway. There are a lot of surveillance cameras there. If he came by car..."

As he said this, he turned his head and looked behind. The place was even more remote, and there were few buildings, not to mention surveillance. The murderer might have dived into the wilderness after committing the crime and chose the safest way to leave Xintou Town.

"Captain Lu, have your men go to the wilderness over there and move forward in a carpet-like manner to see if there are any suspicious footprints. If there are, try to find anything left behind by the murderer."

"Also, search all nearby trash cans and empty houses."

Lu Zhengkai issued instructions.

The murderer's tools may be carried with him or discarded at random. If they can be found, it will be a major breakthrough, especially the murder weapon and condoms.

"I'll ask the Economic Investigation Team to search the house and rummage through the trash cans." Tang Hongyi took the initiative to speak.

After all, the dead person was a suspect in the hands of the Economic Investigation Detachment, and they could not stay out of it. At least they could still help today. More people meant more strength, and they would talk about it later when they received orders from above.

Lu Zhengkai did not refuse. Now is the stage of collecting evidence at full speed, the faster the better, the more comprehensive the better.

The sun sets, the sky is filled with rosy clouds, and night is about to fall.

The trash cans and surrounding houses were searched, but nothing suspicious was found.

The people from the Criminal Investigation Brigade have also returned and also did not find anything in the wilderness, but this does not prove that the suspect did not escape from the wilderness. The soil is very hard in this season, and it is normal to leave no traces if you avoid weeds and walk slowly.

The body has been taken away by the Municipal Bureau. After exchanges between the leaders of the Municipal Bureau and the branch bureau, given that the severity of the case was beyond imagination, it was finally decided that the case would be led by the Criminal Investigation Detachment.

Currently, the case has been reported to the provincial department, and the investigation will not be suspended until a new order is issued.

The three captains are still at the crime scene.

The survey pedal had been removed, and when they walked into the room, the first thing they saw was the line that secured Ji Jingfu's body, which roughly restored the shape of his fall.

Further ahead is the master bedroom, which is the scene of Ji Jingfu’s wife’s death. The bed sheets are soaked with blood, which has long since dried up. One can imagine how tragic the scene was.

Further ahead is the master bedroom, where two children lost their lives at an ignorant age, and in the most heart-wrenching and empathetic way.

The young mind is completely unable to understand why it is experiencing such painful torture. At the same time, it may also be suspecting that the world it lives in is simply hell and that all the previous happiness was fake.

The three of them stayed in the master bedroom for a long time. They were tired of cursing and only silent silence remained.

Lu Zhengkai slowly clenched his fists, unable to bear watching any longer, and turned away.

He no longer cursed the murderer for his inhumanity. As a policeman and the captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade, all he could do was to catch this bastard as soon as possible and find out what kind of devil in human skin he was.

Although the forensic doctor has left, the technical investigators are still working, extracting clues from all angles. Even the slightest negligence may allow the suspect to slip through their fingers.

That night, as expected, the provincial department's order was quickly issued and a special task force was established to investigate the major family murder case.

The detachment leader Lu Zhengkai served as the leader of the task force, and Tang Hongyi from the economic investigation team and Lu Guangjun from the criminal investigation brigade of the branch were both included.

Whether the murderer was targeting Ji Jingfu is still in the speculation stage, so Tang Hongyi’s role is indispensable and the case of buying and selling invoices needs to be further investigated.

It is not about merging the cases, but conducting them simultaneously to find the overlapping points.

Chen Yi was lying on the sofa watching TV when he received the call from the provincial department.

The special case team is in Yangcheng. Chen Yi has a direct relationship with Yangcheng and is the deputy chief of the Criminal Investigation Corps. Therefore, the provincial department and the municipal bureau cannot let Chen Yi sit idle. They hope that he can come to the special case team to assist in the investigation as a consultant.

Not to mention Chen Yi's ability to investigate cases, just by showing up, the morale of the task force will definitely be boosted. This is the prestige he has earned over many years of hard work.
