But now, damn it, Zhou Chen is here, but he has become his boss. Who is leading whom here?

He just couldn't understand how Zhou Chen, who had just arrived at the criminal police team, could become the squadron leader?

In fact, he really didn't know. When Zhou Chen was a train policeman, he cooperated with the criminal police team to solve cases. Not to mention that Zhou Chen had solved several major cases. He was well-known to the leaders of the Railway Bureau. In addition, Captain Jiang valued him very much, so he was appointed as the squadron leader as soon as he arrived. Although it was abrupt, it was reasonable.

Not to mention Wang Xin, even Ma Kui was surprised. Zhou Chen's move was equivalent to an airborne attack.

But Ma Kui reacted quickly. After Zhou Chen finished speaking, he immediately took over the conversation, took the initiative to say hello and introduced himself.

The others followed suit and introduced themselves.

Perhaps they felt somewhat surprised, but this was already a settled matter, and they naturally did not want to offend their future superiors.

In addition to Ma Kui and Wang Xin, the other three are Tao Jianguo, who has worked in the criminal police team for five years, Cao Yu, who has worked there for more than four years, and Feng Qingxiang, who has been in the criminal police team for less than two years.

After Zhou Chen got to know them, he took the initiative to invite them to have dinner together in the evening. After chatting for a few words, he went to Captain Jiang's office alone.

Captain Jiang had been waiting for him for a long time. When he saw Zhou Chen coming in, he immediately greeted him warmly.

"How is our criminal police team?"

"very good."

"I asked you to come several years ago, but it has been delayed until now. But it is not too late now."

Captain Jiang was very happy that Zhou Chen could come, because he had always been optimistic about Zhou Chen. He fully supported Zhou Chen's position as squadron leader, otherwise things would not have been so smooth.

"Although our Criminal Police Brigade is divided into several squadrons, we have always cooperated with each other. You are so smart, you should understand what I mean?"

Zhou Chen nodded and said, "I understand. Captain Jiang, don't worry. I will consult with my seniors and build good relationships with them..."

In the workplace, no matter what you do, interpersonal relationships are indispensable, and he believes that he has no problem in this regard.

Chapter 1376 Analysis of the dismemberment case, getting on the Ningha line train again

"The Fourth Squadron was established because of you. It is inevitable that there will be criticisms, but I believe in your ability. These will definitely not be a problem for you."

Captain Jiang wanted to recruit Zhou Chen into the criminal police team, so he had naturally inquired about Zhou Chen a long time ago. He also heard Captain Hu's evaluation of Zhou Chen. Although Zhou Chen is young, he is very experienced and mature in his work and has a calm and composed personality. He is a good leader.

"But there is a difference between our criminal police team and the passenger police team. Performance is very important. There are no slackers in the criminal police team, because slackers can't survive in the criminal police team."

Zhou Chen nodded to show that he understood. When he was in the passenger police team, his behavior was relatively Buddhist, but that didn't mean he was a very Buddhist person. As long as he wanted to, he could change at any time.

"Captain Jiang, you have transferred five people from other squadrons to me. Will they have any objections?"

Captain Jiang smiled and said, "Don't worry about this. It's only temporary. Since the team has decided to establish a fourth squadron, we are naturally prepared. New members will join next year, and by then all squadrons will be fully staffed."

After hearing this, Zhou Chen felt relieved. He was not afraid of anyone, but he did not want to have conflicts with his colleagues as soon as he arrived at the criminal police team.

The specifications of their Railway Criminal Police Brigade are similar to those of county-level cities in later generations, and four squadrons are actually not too many.

"Although your squadron has just been established, you can't just sit there idle. Tasks must be assigned. However, since it has just been established, I will assign you a few cases that are suitable for you first."

"It's been so long since we found any results for the dismembered body case you found on the train. This case has been handled by Lao Ma and Wang Xin, and now it has been transferred to your Fourth Squadron, and you will continue to be in charge."

"There are two more cases. One is the drug trafficking case on the train. This is a major case that was discovered a few years ago, but after so many years, it still has not been solved. Three of you in your squadron have served as train police officers. It is best to hand this case over to you."

"The other one was also a case on a train, but it was a theft case. In just one week, our Ningyang Station alone received more than a dozen reports from the public that a thief had appeared on the train. A total of three trains were robbed. We checked with other stations and found that the amount of money stolen was more than a thousand yuan."

A thousand dollars may not be a lot for an average family a dozen years later, but in 84, it was a huge sum of money.

Especially since this happened so many times in less than a week.

Zhou Chen frowned and said, "There are many thieves on the train, but under normal circumstances, those thieves rarely steal in such a high-profile manner. The louder the noise, the easier it is to be caught. This situation is not ordinary. It must be a gang, and it is not an ordinary gang."

He has been a train policeman for seven years and he has caught over a hundred thieves. Most of the thieves are sneaky and would retreat after stealing one or two things. Except for those thieves who are confident that they have superb skills or those with a crazy personality, there are very few thieves who would steal so many things in a row with such fanfare and momentum.

Captain Jiang said, "You are an expert in this area. I guess no one in our entire criminal police team knows more about these petty thieves than you, so I feel relieved to leave this case to you."

"Captain Jiang, rest assured, I will do my best."

On the train, the thing that train attendants deal with the most is undoubtedly petty theft. Zhou Chen has been a train attendant for seven years. With his keen sense of smell and subtle observation skills, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a thief killer. When it comes to catching petty theft, he can definitely be called an expert.

"There is a big difference between the Criminal Police Team and the Flight Police Team. You will slowly adapt to it in the next few days."

"Yes, Captain Jiang."

Zhou Chen left Captain Jiang's office and came to the office area belonging to their Fourth Squadron.

The Criminal Police Brigade is quite large, and each squadron has its own work area. However, at this time, most people are no longer working here, and have gone out to work on their own.

The criminal police team is responsible for handling cases and they are on the road all year round. Especially for a criminal police brigade like theirs that is affiliated with the Railway Bureau, the total number of days they can stay in the office is probably less than two months in a year.

Zhou Chen called the five people from the fourth squadron together and began to assign tasks.

Because of the limited number of staff, only six people, he temporarily assigned two people into a group. He and Zhao Qingxiang were in one group, Ma Kui and Wang Xin were in one group, and Tao Jianguo and Cao Yu were in one group.

Zhou Chen and Ma Kui's teams took the Ningha line respectively to investigate the theft and drug trafficking cases. Tao Jianguo and Cao Yu stayed in the criminal police team temporarily to provide support at any time.

Of course, this is not fixed and can be changed at any time.

The people in the Fourth Squadron had no objection to this. Tao Jianguo and Cao Yu were even happy about it. After all, in their opinion, staying in the team and waiting for support was not much different from taking a holiday. It was much more comfortable than running field work outside all day.

The action will start tomorrow. Zhou Chen first took the files of the three cases and examined them carefully.

In fact, these cases are all those that have appeared in TV dramas, and he has a general idea about them, but solving them is not that easy.

Needless to say, no one knows where Ding Guian is now. He may have changed his name. We have to wait until the gang of thieves take action before we can meet them. With so many routes, no one knows which one they will appear on.

In comparison, the drug trafficking case is easier to grasp because he knows that Jia Jinlong from Harbin is a member of the drug trafficking case. Although the plot finally shows that Jia Jinlong is the boss of the Harbin drug trafficking gang, it is not clear how big their line is, and it is even hard to say whether Jia Jinlong is the leader of that line.

Zhou Chen gathered everyone together and started the discussion.

"Let's not discuss the drug trafficking case for now. The theft case requires a vehicle investigation, so it's not easy for us to discuss it right now. So let's talk about the dismemberment case. Wang Xin, tell us about the investigation process of this case."

Wang Xin's face straightened, and he said slowly: "The first scene of the dismemberment case was discovered at Songlin Railway Station, and later..."

Previously, this case was mainly handled by Ma Kui and Wang Xin. Although Tao Jianguo and the other two knew about this case, they did not have much contact with it, so now they all listened very carefully.

"What we can confirm now is that the deceased is Ding Guian. As for who the real murderer is and why he committed such a crime, we have not yet found out."

Zhou Chen asked: "Let me ask you a question. How did you determine that the deceased was Ding Guian?"

Wang Xin was stunned for a moment, then said: "We investigated the local missing persons, the characteristics of the body, the blood type..., and we are almost certain that the deceased is Ding Guian."

"almost?"

Zhou Chen interrupted Wang Xin and asked in a deep voice, "Can the police use the word almost to describe a case?"

Wang Xin was nervous when he saw Zhou Chen's serious expression, which was totally different from the relaxed look they had when they were together in the past. Not to mention, Zhou Chen looked quite scary.

It was Ma Kui who came to his rescue and said, "Captain Zhou is right. We police cannot use the word 'almost' when handling cases. In this case, there is indeed no definite evidence to prove that the deceased is Ding Guian, but we don't have any more evidence or gains now. What do you think, Captain Zhou?"

Zhou Chen tapped the table lightly. Under everyone's gaze, several minutes passed before he spoke again.

"First of all, I want to ask a question, what was the purpose of the murderer doing that?"

Ma Kui and several others gave their answers one after another. Some said that he wanted to hide something, some said that the murderer was a lunatic, some said that they wanted to cover up evidence or the cause of death, and some said that it was for the convenience of transportation, etc.

After listening to them, Zhou Chen nodded.

"What you said is all right and possible. Although evidence is needed to solve a case, we also need to open our minds and think about the murderer's purpose. We can even analyze the purpose by putting ourselves in the shoes of the murderer."

"I have a hypothesis. Listen to me. If I say that the real murderer of this case is Ding Guian, do you think it is possible?"

"what?"

Wang Xin stood up in shock and looked at Zhou Chen in disbelief: "Ding Guian is the murderer? How is that possible? This is absolutely impossible."

Tao Jianguo, Cao Yu and Zhao Qingxiang were all shocked, obviously frightened by Zhou Chen's idea. The deceased became the murderer, although it was just a hypothesis, you can't make it up.

However, the veteran detective Ma Kui frowned at first, and then began to think seriously.

"The murderer is Ding Guian, Captain Zhou, why do you have such an assumption?"

"Since it is a hypothesis, we should think boldly, because often the most unlikely is the truth. If you follow my thinking and assume that Ding Guian is the murderer, then is everything that happened later a possibility?"

Wang Xin said, "I think it's impossible. We have already done an autopsy. The deceased is an adult male with type B blood. Everything matches Ding Guian. You are now assuming that Ding Guian is not the deceased, but the murderer. Isn't this too absurd?"

"No, no, no."

Without Zhou Chen saying anything, Ma Kui refuted Wang Xin and said, "According to Captain Zhou's hypothesis, it is not impossible. If Ding Guian is the murderer, his purpose in handling the body is to cover up the identity of the deceased and make us believe that the deceased is him, thereby disrupting the direction of our investigation..."

The more he spoke, the brighter Ma Kui's eyes became. The expressions of Wang Xin and the other three also kept changing.

After Ma Kui finished speaking, the younger Zhao Qingxiang couldn't help but say, "If that's really the case, then it's quite possible."

Tao Jianguo said calmly: "But this is just a hypothesis after all. We need evidence to handle cases. Hypotheses and guesses are useless."

"So, we have to investigate. Previously, we started the investigation with Ding Guian as the deceased. Now we will not abandon the previous investigation direction, but at the same time add another investigation direction to find this Ding Guian."

Zhou Chen's words made Ma Kui agree: "I think we can give it a try."

The squadron leader and the most senior Ma Kui both agreed, and naturally everyone else had no objection. After all, this was a big case, and even if the process was complicated and troublesome, if the case could be solved, it would be a respect for the deceased, so everyone was very enthusiastic.

Wang Xin was a little scratching his head. The direction of investigation that Zhou Chen mentioned was completely different from their previous investigation direction. If they investigated in this direction, then all previous inferences and investigations would have to be started all over again.

When it was time to get off work, Zhou Chen took a few people from the Fourth Squadron to a restaurant and had a good meal, but they didn't drink any alcohol.

The next day, the Fourth Squadron began to act in groups, with two groups following the vehicle for investigation and one group staying in the Criminal Police Team.

A few days passed in a flash. Unfortunately, Zhou Chen and Ma Kui and their group of people who followed the car did not encounter the so-called thief king and his gang of thieves.

Ma Kui and Wang Xin went to Songlin again and deliberately watched Ding Guian's house for a few days, but unfortunately, they found nothing.

On this day, Peng Yongli was having a weekend break, so Zhou Chen rode his bike to the school to pick him up and brought him back to the compound. As soon as he arrived at the gate of the compound, he saw Yao Yuling standing at the gate and talking to a man.

Zhou Chen recognized the man. He was Jia Jinlong. He had seen him once on the train before. He was beaten by the group of people selling roast chicken and was recorded in the dining car.

The appearance of Zhou Chen and Peng Yongli made Yao Yuling a little nervous, but Jia Jinlong greeted Zhou Chen openly.

"Hello, Officer Zhou. Do you remember me?"

Zhou Chen said calmly, "I remember, I heard Uncle Ma and Wang Xin say that you helped them when you were in Harbin, and now you are getting along well with them. Why, are you here to see Uncle Ma and the others?"

Jia Jinlong said with a smile: "Yes, Uncle Ma and his friends have helped me. I came to Ningyang on a business trip and just happened to come and visit them."

"Okay, then you get busy first."

Zhou Chen replied, then walked into the compound with Peng Yongli.

In the evening, Wang Xin came to find Zhou Chen and asked him to go over for a drink. He also mentioned Jia Jinlong and said he wanted to introduce him to him, but Zhou Chen politely declined.

A day later, Zhou Chen was going to take the Ningha Line train again.

Before leaving, Peng Yongli gave Zhou Chen a handbag.

"This time when you go to Harbin, please deliver these to my home for my dad. They are all clothes and shoes I bought for him, as well as some food."

Zhou Chen took the handbag and said, "Okay, I'm going to stay in Harbin for a few days this time, I'll give it to your dad then."

This time, Zhou Chen took the same bus he used to take before, and he met his old teammates before he even got on the bus.

"Zhou Chen." "Brother Chen." "Brother Chen."

Yu Xingguo, Qin Yan and You Yuejin greeted Zhou Chen happily when they saw him.

Zhou Chen also happily hugged them and patted Yu Xingguo's arm: "How does it feel to be a senior sheriff?"

Yu Xingguo smiled happily: "Thank you, I know it was you who recommended me to the leader, otherwise I would not have been able to become the chief of police."

Zhou Chen said: "Who said that? With your qualifications and abilities, you are fully qualified for the job. Don't underestimate yourself."

After he left, Yu Xingguo was promoted and became the captain of the flight attendant in this group. After he left, the team arranged for another person to take over.

Qin Yan and You Yuejin were still the same as before. The more active Qin Yan even asked Zhou Chen in a low voice whether he was in the car to handle a big case this time, and Zhou Chen answered with a smile.

When I met Lu Hongxing, Cai Xiaonian and others in the car, I was not as excited as when I just met Yu Xingguo and others. After all, we are from the same hospital and see each other often.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 1377: Sacrifice one's own relatives for the sake of justice? Persuade the father-in-law to surrender?

In the carriage, a group of people surrounded Zhou Chen.

Cai Xiaonian looked at Zhou Chen in front of him and said with a smile: "This is the first time I see you in plain clothes on the bus, not in police uniform. I'm a little uncomfortable with it."

Zhou Chen had only been away from their team for less than a month, but he always felt as if a long time had passed. Without Zhou Chen in the car, he really lost someone with whom he could talk freely.

Although the colleagues in the car were all acquaintances, there were differences between acquaintances. Zhou Chen and he were childhood friends, and they could talk about anything, but that was not possible with others.

So after Zhou Chen left, he was really not used to it for a while. Several times when he looked for the train attendant, he inexplicably wanted to call Zhou Chen to solve the problem.
