Daily life of slaying demons in the government

Chapter 177 Find a Breakthrough

Yang Qian had just arrived in Jizhou City yesterday, and he hadn't even warmed up yet, so he was naturally not familiar with the roads in the city. He had called the two people from the Patrol Office to help him find his way.

"You two were involved in the Yun family's case. What do you think?"

On the way, Yang Qian held the knife in one hand and put the other hand behind his back. He did not ride a horse or a car, but walked slowly on the street. Sometimes he would even stop and take a closer look when he saw something he had never seen on the roadside. After all, Jizhou Prefecture was separated by three cities for hundreds of miles, and many things were different from those in the three cities.

"Sir, we were just running errands with Xiao Yun at the time and didn't actually do anything, so we can't tell you anything."

Feng Song and Ma Dayuan were both about 40 years old, which was not considered old in the police station, but they were also considered senior. However, their faces looked much older than their actual age, and Yang Qian believed them if they said they were 50 years old.

At this time, Feng Song spoke first. There was some hesitation in his eyes, but he was ready to push it away without thinking.

Ma Dayuan next to him was in almost the same state. He shook his head when Feng Song spoke.

However, since Yang Qian had already asked about it, he naturally wouldn't let the two of them get away with it.

So he continued, "Running errands? Not really? After the Yun family got into trouble, I remember you were the first one to arrive at the scene, Feng Song? And then when investigating the Yun family's enemies, you were the main player, Ma Dayuan, right?

Haha, it’s strange why I know it so clearly?
It's very simple. Your names are written on the documents, and everything you did is clearly recorded. I guess someone doesn't want to be involved in this case so they don't dare to take the credit from you. Right?"

Ma Dayuan snorted and said in a muffled voice, "Merit? What kind of merit can a case that is left hanging have? It can only be nailed to the file and laughed at for being incompetent."

"How can you be incompetent? I've read the case files. There was nothing wrong with the way you two handled the situation. You even reacted very quickly. There were basically no blind spots in the visits and investigations you did. When the case is closed, you two will definitely be credited."

Yang Qian was chatting with the two of them with a smile on his face, seemingly casually. At the same time, he sensed that there seemed to be someone following him in front and behind. They were very professional, definitely not like those of the police or the underworld. Rather, they looked like the elite spies in the army that Yang Qian had come into contact with when he was the vanguard commander of the bandit and demon extermination in Sandao City.

But can we place elite spies in the army to keep watch in the city?

Is this something a human could do?

Yang Qian felt that the situation in Jizhou Prefecture was becoming increasingly difficult.

I didn’t realize it when I was in Sandao City before, but now I know that being up high is not always easy, but rather full of twists and turns.

Feng Song and Ma Dayuan certainly didn't have Yang Qian's ability to sense the presence of elite spies on a busy street. They still despised Yang Qian's words in their hearts.

"Case closed? Lord Yang, don't you know that the Yun family case has been unsolved for almost two years? The witnesses are dead, and the physical evidence was burned down along with the evidence building. It's impossible to close this case."

Feng Song and Ma Dayuan were both deeply sentimental and lonely. But they also completely disagreed with Yang Qian's words "case closed".

Yang Qian still smiled and said, "The characteristic of unsolved cases is that the evidence is often completely cut off, and it seems that there is no way to investigate further, so it remains unsolved.

But when I was in Sandao City, I handled many unsolved cases and old cases, some of which were even more than ten years old. I was able to solve them all.

Do you know why? "Yang Qian's reputation in Sandao City is not small, but in Jizhou City, it's just so-so. At most, they would just say "this guy is good at handling cases" and leave it at that. No one cares about how he is.

Now, hearing Yang Qian talking about the past, especially about the past achievements in unsolved cases, Feng Song and Ma Dayuan also became serious at the same time. They are all veterans in this field, and naturally know how difficult unsolved cases are. They never thought that Yang Qian could solve many unsolved cases in Sandao City, even cases from more than ten years ago?

Without waiting for Feng Song and Ma Dayuan to reply, Yang Qian gave his own answer, saying, "Real unsolved cases are really difficult to solve. It really depends on luck, and the possibility is even smaller than picking up gold on the road.

But sometimes unsolved cases are not really unsolved cases. For example, the so-called unsolved cases I handled in Sandao City more than a decade ago were not dead ends in the investigation at all, but obstacles or walls were set up artificially on the road to investigation. It made the case seem like it was impossible to move forward, but in fact it was not.

As long as we can find a sledgehammer and break down the wall, there will be a passage behind it, and the case will be solved."

The principle Yang Qian talked about is actually very simple, but it is definitely not easy to do.

But there is a world of difference between "not easy" and "impossible". So this seemingly casual conversation made Feng Song and Ma Dayuan stop in their tracks and their eyes sparkled.

"Are you sure, Lord Yang?" When Ma Dayuan reacted, he found that Yang Qian had already taken a few steps ahead, and hurriedly chased after him.

"Not really, I just feel that our brother shouldn't have died in vain. There has to be an explanation! Don't you agree?"

This sentence immediately made Ma Dayuan and Feng Song's eyes red.

My own brother!

That’s right, the Yun Family Case refers to the murder of Yun Dingpeng, a former police inspector. The so-called abandoned garden in the north of the city is actually the former residence of the Yun family.

Yun Dingpeng, Feng Song and Ma Dayuan were all detectives from the same period, and the three of them had a good personal relationship.

Of course, Yang Qian didn't know about the friendship between Feng Song, Ma Dayuan and Yun Dingpeng. He just simply felt that there might be a breakthrough in this case. At the same time, he could stand on the moral high ground of "helping his brothers to avenge themselves" to see if he could break through the situation in the Patrol Case Division.

Now seeing Feng Song and Ma Dayuan's slightly red eyes, Yang Qian understood that his idea should have come true.

At least these two people are now willing to follow his lead instead of continuing to procrastinate and do things perfunctorily.

"I don't care what kind of life you had in the Patrol Office before, or how much you suffered. If you have a job, you have to do it seriously. Being afraid of things, afraid of death, afraid of trouble, and hesitant are not reasons for you to do nothing. If you were really afraid of this and that, I believe you would have been transferred to other trivial jobs long ago. Right?"

After saying that, the three of them fell into silence.

Along the way, Yang Qian was still strolling leisurely. But Feng Song and Ma Dayuan had frowned and no longer looked impatient. Instead, they seemed to be in a state of hesitation, entanglement, or even anxiety.

Before they knew it, the three of them had finally arrived at the north of the city. In a relatively clean and spacious back street, there was a house that looked quite shabby, with even one of the seals on the door missing.

"Master Yang, this is the abandoned garden of the Yun family."
