The world of film and television begins from childhood

As the deputy director of criminal investigation, Gao Chao certainly wanted to make meritorious contributions. After all, he was only in his thirties. If he made more meritorious contributions, he would still have hope of being transferred to the criminal police team of the branch. Even if he could not be the captain of the criminal police team, he could be transferred to another jurisdiction as the director as soon as possible with his meritorious services.

As long as there is hope, he certainly wants to catch the murderer himself, but if there is really no other way, he can only hand over the news and intelligence to the criminal police team.

"So we don't have much time left. Everyone, just hold on for a few more days. No matter what the final result is, after it's over, I will make the decision to give you two days off."

When they heard that they could have a holiday, everyone in the car showed joy.

Being a policeman in a police station is very respectable, but it is also really tiring, especially in the Balihe Police Station. There are so many trivial matters and endless things to do every day. It is really difficult to have a day off, let alone rest for two days at once.

Another two days passed, and although everyone took turns to take a day off, they were still very tired.

Zhou Chen and veteran police officer Xu Hua were in a group. They spent the whole day hanging around Hesheng Community and Xiangfu Huating Community.

Xu Hua took out a cigarette box and lit a cigarette: "Zhou Chen, do you want a cigarette to wake yourself up?"

Zhou Chen shook his head and refused: "No, Brother Xu, I don't like it, and I don't need it to refresh myself."

Xu Hua smiled and said, "You are a young man after all. We old guys are really no match for you. You have been the most energetic these days. It seems that Chief Gao was right to call you over."

Although Zhou Chen is a newcomer, everyone has been together for the past few days, and the views of several old policemen on Zhou Chen have greatly changed.

Not only is he energetic, but he is also very good at dealing with people. He often helps them with patrol duties at night so that they can have more rest.

They originally thought that Zhou Chen would be the first one to give up, but unexpectedly, Zhou Chen not only persisted, but also did more than them. They couldn't help but admit it.

"I just rely on my youth, but Brother Xu, is it really useful for us to crouch like this? It feels like looking for a needle in a haystack."

Zhou Chen thought that he had good eyesight and some experience in handling cases, but he felt that this operation was too rough.

Xu Hua smiled and said, "You are not wrong, but handling a case is never smooth sailing, especially if you want to handle a big case, it is even more difficult. We don't have as many people as the criminal police team, nor do we have so much high-tech and talent. If we want to make a contribution, we can only use this stupid method."

"Gao has more experience than us. What we can think of, can he not think of it? But he still let us do it, which shows that he still has some confidence. Of course, it's also a matter of trying our luck. If it works out, everyone will be happy. If it doesn't, it can only be attributed to our bad luck."

Zhou Chen understood what Xu Hua meant. Not only Gao Chao wanted to make a contribution, but Xu Hua and his team did the same. Solving a murder case and catching the murderer is much more impressive than dealing with those trivial matters. Who doesn't want to move up?

It's not just newcomers like Zhao Jiwei who want to engage in criminal investigation, but veteran police officers do the same. It's just that the goals of newcomers and veteran police officers are different.

Especially for a deputy director like Gao Chao who is in charge of criminal investigation, he would naturally prefer criminal investigation cases rather than dealing with trivial neighborhood disputes every day.

Like the case handling in TV dramas, it starts with a lot of high technology, and then involves various psychologists, forensic doctors, computer monitoring experts, profilers, portrait artists, etc.

Many municipal bureaus may not have such configuration, let alone police officers in police stations like theirs, who are even less likely to have such conditions. They can only use this relatively primitive method to ambush and arrest people.

"I'm going to buy two bottles of water."

Zhou Chen felt a little thirsty, so he told Xu Hua and walked to the small supermarket at the entrance of the community to buy two bottles of water.

After getting the water and paying the bill, Zhou Chen turned around and walked out of the supermarket. However, at the door, he was suddenly bumped by someone. The other person did not apologize and just walked into the supermarket.

Zhou Chen frowned and looked back. When he saw the other person's profile, his expression suddenly changed.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 1035: Arrest and return to justice, busy Balihe

Since he was here to ambush someone, Zhou Chen had naturally seen photos of the murderer, and more than one. The other party's appearance had long been imprinted in his mind.

Although it was just a quick glance back, he was able to spot the problem with his keen sense.

The man who bumped into him was wearing a baseball cap, had a beard, and was wearing a short-sleeved T-shirt. He looked like an ordinary passerby.

But when Zhou Chen looked at him from the side, he found that this person's profile was 70% similar to the murderer Wang Yuan they were waiting for.

He was a cautious person to begin with, so when he spotted someone who looked 70% similar to him from the side, he became extremely alert and instinctively wanted to go over and grab the other person.

But just as he raised his foot, he remembered that he was not in ancient times and his identity was different. If he went over to arrest someone so rashly, even if he caught the real murderer, with Wang Shouyi's temper, he would definitely scold him for half an hour.

He was not afraid of Wang Shouyi, but he didn't want to be scolded by Wang Shouyi. This old director really had a lot of reasons, just like Tang Monk chanting sutras.

He was determined and not afraid of being hypnotized, but his ears really didn't want to suffer.

Also, what matters in the workplace is not only ability, but also social skills. If this person is really the murderer Wang Yuan, he did everything by himself, and there would be no chance for others to show their abilities.

Although it sounds tiring, since this is my identity, I have to do things that fit my identity.

So he left the small supermarket temporarily, but he kept his eyes on the entrance of the small supermarket. At the same time, he made a few gestures to Xu Hua who was smoking on the side of the road.

Xu Hua was smoking, but his eyes always inadvertently swept across the faces of passers-by, and then pretended to be lazy and idle.

But when his eyes swept across the small supermarket and saw Zhou Chen's gesture to him, he stopped smoking, nodded imperceptibly, then casually threw the cigarette butt on the ground, crushed it with the sole of his shoe, and then slowly walked towards Zhou Chen.

"what happened?"

"Found the situation, maybe the target."

Zhou Chen lowered his voice and spoke into Xu Hua's ear, which made Xu Hua's face change drastically, but soon returned to normal.

"In the supermarket?"

"Wearing a hat, a dark blue T-shirt, and a beard."

Xu Hua nodded and said, "I'll go in and buy a pack of cigarettes. You call Gao Suo and the others."

"Okay, Brother Xu, be careful. The other party was able to escape for so long, so he must be very vigilant."

"I'll pay attention."

As he said that, he walked into the small supermarket leisurely and started chatting with the owner of the supermarket.

Zhou Chen took out his cell phone and quickly called Gao Chao.

A few minutes later, the target was seen walking out of the supermarket, holding a white plastic bag filled with various snacks.

The target suspected to be Wang Yuan lowered the brim of his hat, walked away quickly, and walked into the Xiangfu Huating community.

Xu Hua walked out of the small supermarket quickly, exchanged a glance with Zhou Chen, and then the two of them walked into the community from two directions, hanging behind the target.

Half an hour later, Zhou Chen got on the car at the gate of the community.

There were several people sitting in the car, and they all came over.

"Zhou Chen, what's the situation?"

"Director Gao, I think he is our target, Wang Yuan. He lives in a garage, but his behavior is very suspicious. Although his appearance has changed, his past is still recognizable."

"Where's Brother Xu?"

"Brother Xu is watching over there."

Gao Chao nodded: "Although there are similarities, we can't act rashly. Watch for a while. If we are sure it is the target, we will immediately arrest him, and then return to the station as quickly as possible, and try not to alarm the people around."

"Yes."

At Gaochao's instruction, several people dispersed around the community, while Gaochao followed Zhou Chen to observe near the garage where the target lived.

"Brother Xu." "Gao Suo."

"how is the situation?"

"After he went in, he never came out. It was already late afternoon and the garage was dark, but he never turned on the lights and the door was closed, so we couldn't see what was going on inside. However, the garage only had this one door and a small window at the back, but people couldn't get out."

Gao Suo hesitated for a moment and said, "There is only one door, which makes it easy. I will go find out who the landlord of this garage is and see what's going on. You guys stay here and watch for now. Don't alert the enemy."

"Don't worry, Chief Gao. We will take turns to keep an eye on it."

This stare lasted until noon the next day.

Gao handed the lunch box to Zhou Chen and asked, "How is it? Hasn't it come out yet?"

Zhou Chen was not polite, he picked up the lunch box and opened it: "He didn't come out, we have someone watching him all the time, he hasn't left the house since he bought something at the supermarket yesterday afternoon."

"Although it's normal not to go out for a day, I went to ask the landlord of this garage this morning. This guy came here two months ago. Because it's a rented garage, I didn't see his ID card, and he didn't sign a contract. I only know his name is Zhuang Yun, but it should be an alias."

Gao Chao's face was serious. "I've asked Brother Xu and the others to use the surveillance cameras in the community. Zhou Chen, I know you are very good at watching the surveillance. Later, when Da Liu comes to watch, you can check the surveillance to see if you can find clearer photos. However, we don't have much time left. In our situation, we can't delay, so we have to be quick."

Zhou Chen took a few mouthfuls of rice. He was really hungry after staring for so long. He couldn't sleep well and had to concentrate, which consumed a lot of his body's energy. He needed to use food to replenish his energy.

Fortunately, he has the skill of a big eater, and the function of his stomach has been greatly enhanced. He can quickly absorb energy from food to restore his strength.

"I understand, Chief Gao, I'll go over and check the surveillance later."

When Zhou Chen arrived at the property monitoring room, Ren Zhigang was already in the monitoring room watching the video.

"Zhou Chen, you're here. Come on, sit down and read. I've been reading for a while and I feel a little dizzy."

Ren Zhigang is an old policeman. He is not very familiar with surveillance equipment and his eyesight is not very good. It is really difficult for him to look for people through surveillance. So when he saw Zhou Chen, he felt like he saw a savior and quickly gave up his seat.

Zhou Chen didn't beat around the bush and sat down directly. Then he looked through the video folder, eliminated most of the time, and found a time when there were fewer people to record the video.

Seeing Zhou Chen making a selection and then looking at the route at four times the speed, Ren Zhigang was numb.

If he watched it normally for a long time, he would feel dizzy. Zhou Chen even sped it up four times. Could he really find the problem?

However, thinking about the diaper-taking case that Zhou Chen had helped solve before, which was the surveillance video that Zhou Chen watched, he was no longer surprised. But the four-times viewing speed made him even more dizzy. After staring for a while, he quickly shifted his gaze.

Under normal circumstances, the surveillance video of a community can be kept for a month, but it is obvious that the surveillance video of this community was cut corners and was only kept for seven days.

Zhou Chen was very quick. In just one hour, he found the target in the surveillance video. It was very similar to the one he saw at the entrance of the small supermarket.

He was not in a hurry, he just chose the best angle, took a screenshot, and continued watching.

In one afternoon, Zhou Chen watched almost half of the video and took four screenshots in total.

"Zhou Chen, how is it?"

Chief Gao had arrived a long time ago, but he didn't disturb Zhou Chen because he saw he was busy. Now that he saw Zhou Chen stopped, he came over to ask.

Zhou Chen rubbed his eyes and said, "There's a high possibility that this guy has a problem. I watched the surveillance video of his route out of the community, and he only appeared four times in the video in a week. That means he went out four times a week, and each time he came back within an hour."

"The most important thing is that this person has never ordered takeout."

"Generally speaking, people who can do this are either deep-seated otakus or have problems."

"Sergeant Gao, please take a look at these pictures I found. These are the clearest ones I found. Although they are not completely clear, they still have a certain resolution."

Gao Chao looked at the picture on the computer, immediately took out his mobile phone, opened Wang Yuan's photo and compared it.

"picture."

Zhou Chen nodded and said, "Yes, after zooming in, it does look very similar. There aren't so many coincidences in the world. This person should be Wang Yuan."

Gao Chao showed a happy expression: "Very good, we can close the net now."

He had endured all this time just for this moment, so he was very excited.

Gao Chao made the decision, and Zhou Chen and the others naturally had no objection. To be honest, everyone was very tired after being outside for more than a week. Although they were also tired at the police station, at least they could go home. But here, they couldn't even go home.

When it comes to arresting people, Gao Chao was naturally experienced. He found the landlord and tricked the target into opening the door, and then the people who were hiding rushed forward immediately. Wang Yuan didn't even have a chance to resist and was pinned to the ground and controlled.

Although Wang Yuan is a murderer, he is the kind who kills on impulse and is not an experienced old criminal. Being able to escape for more than a year is already considered to be quite capable, but facing the police who outnumber him several times, he really has no room for resistance.

After catching Wang Yuan and confirming his identity, they left as quickly as possible and returned to Balihe Police Station three hours later.

This time they returned in triumph, and naturally received a warm welcome from the entire institute. Director Wang Shouyi even came down personally to greet the hero, and praised everyone, especially Zhou Chen, whom he praised many times.

Zhou Chen had even been an emperor, so this kind of small scene certainly couldn't make him proud. On the contrary, Gao Suo and the others all had smiles on their faces, but they weren't very proud.

In the crowd, Li Dawei stood with the four newcomers, and they all looked at Zhou Chen with envy as he was being watched.

"Come to think of it, this seems to be the second time Zhou Chen has caught a murderer. The first time was with me."

Li Dawei held his chin up. Although he was envious, he was still happy for Zhou Chen.

A few days ago, he was in a bad mood because of his father Li Yisheng, and only recovered in the past two days.

Xia Jie and Yang Shu were also envious, but they also knew their own situations. It was too unlikely for them to be like Zhou Chen, not to mention that Gao might not necessarily look down upon them.

The person I envy the most is naturally Zhao Jiwei.

For others, crouching without freedom for more than a week would be a torture, but if it were him, he would definitely flock to it.

"You have all made great contributions, but I am still wandering around the community."

Yang Shu and Xia Jie glanced at him and said, "How can I be better than you?"

After making a fuss for a while, Zhou Chen carried the basin to the sink and began to brush his teeth and wash his face.

"Here, here you go. Your beard is so unkempt. Go shave it."

Zhou Chen turned around and saw Xia Jie. He smiled and took the razor from her hand. He said, "Why didn't you bring a mirror with you when you only brought me the razor? If you shave my handsome face, wouldn't I be at a big loss?"

"You're asking for a lot. Wait."

Xia Jie rolled her eyes at Zhou Chen, but still walked in. After a while, she took out her small mirror and handed it to Zhou Chen.

"Thank you."
