Chapter 860 One wave subsides, another rises: The Li Family Village Murder Case
Qin Chuan raised his head, his eyes revealing approval: "Li Ming, well done! Tell me the whole investigation process in detail."
Li Ming organized his thoughts and began his report: "We initially found the body of the deceased, Chen Jianfeng, in the vineyard, and confirming his identity was extremely difficult. Through interviews with vineyard growers, we learned from Wang Baoguo that Chen Jianfeng had worked for him and then suddenly resigned. Following this lead, we confirmed the deceased's identity. Afterward, the investigation into Chen Jianfeng's interpersonal relationships made a major breakthrough. We learned from his coworker, Li Zhaokai, that Chen Jianfeng had a close relationship with Wang Juan."
Qin Chuan nodded slightly and listened attentively.
Li Ming continued, "We found Wang Juan and learned that she had an improper relationship with Chen Jianfeng, and that Chen Jianfeng suddenly disappeared before the incident. At the same time, we discovered that Wang Juan was involved with more than just Chen Jianfeng; she also had dealings with Song Baodong and others. During our interviews with Wang Juan's neighbors, we learned that we heard sounds of arguing and fighting coming from Wang Juan's house the day before the incident."
“This is a crucial clue,” Qin Chuan interjected.
Li Ming agreed: "That's right, Director Qin. We followed this lead and identified Song Baodong. During a raid on Song Baodong's residence, we found bloodstained clothing and a suspicious shovel. DNA testing confirmed that the bloodstains matched Chen Jianfeng's. Faced with irrefutable evidence, Song Baodong confessed to the crime. He admitted that he was unhappy with Chen Jianfeng's relationship with Wang Juan, which led to an argument and fight with Chen Jianfeng. He accidentally killed Chen Jianfeng with a vase and then buried the body in the vineyard with a shovel."
After listening, Qin Chuan pondered for a moment and then said, "The successful resolution of this case is inseparable from everyone's efforts. From the scene investigation and clue tracking to the interrogation of the suspect, every step was crucial. However, we must also learn from this experience and pay more attention to details and improve efficiency in future case investigations."
Li Ming nodded in agreement: "Director Qin is right. We spent a lot of time confirming the identity of the deceased in this case, and we will optimize the relevant procedures in the future. Moreover, when investigating suspects, we need to broaden our thinking and not let go of any possible clues."
Qin Chuan gave a detailed report on the case investigation to the city government. Now, Qin Chuan is eligible to attend the city's Standing Committee meetings.
This is a very positive and obvious signal.
When the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee holds a meeting, in addition to the recorders, those who are generally able to attend the meeting should be added as members of the Standing Committee during the current election.
Qin Chuan's appointment to Dongchuan City was directly ordered by the Provincial Public Security Department.
Moreover, Qin Chuan performed very well in Nanchuan City. While there, he did not concurrently serve as a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and the Vice Mayor. Now that he has returned to his home province and come to Zhongchuan City, it is believed that he will achieve this very soon. This achievement is worth inquiring about, and once he reaches this level, it means that Qin Chuan has already entered the ranks of deputy director-general level officials.
It's worth noting that Qin Chuan is only 26 or 27 years old, not even 28, and at that age, he's already a deputy director-general level official, and a tenth-level deputy director-general, which is quite rare nationwide.
There are quite a few division-level cadres in their twenties nationwide, especially some technical cadres who enjoy division-level benefits. They are quite numerous, but those with real power at the division-level are not so many, such as a county party secretary at the division-level, or a public security bureau chief at the division-level. These powerful departments and positions with real authority at the division-level are relatively rare.
If Qin Chuan could rise to the rank of deputy director at this age, he would be an extremely rare individual.
But then again, is Qin Chuan, as a deputy director-level official, qualified to serve as the director of the Dongchuan Municipal Public Security Bureau and concurrently as a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and the deputy mayor?
The answer is obvious. Qin Chuan's banknotes are quite abundant within the public security system, not to mention the medals he can wear all over his chest. After all, Qin Chuan is a national model worker recognized by higher authorities.
With this honor, it wouldn't be surprising if Qin Chuan took on any position.
Of course, the specific time when he can take office depends on the arrangements of the province, so Qin Chuan is only practicing attending meetings and cannot express his opinions for now.
Recently, Dongchuan City has seen a surge in criminal cases, but under Qin Chuan's leadership, the Municipal Public Security Bureau has made remarkable progress. Almost all cases have been investigated and resolved in a very short time.
In the past, the work of the Municipal Public Security Bureau actually involved most of the Municipal Party Committee's resources. This was because when a case occurred, if the Municipal Public Security Bureau couldn't handle it, the pressure from higher authorities was immense, and the Municipal Party Committee had to share the burden and devote a great deal of energy to guiding the Municipal Public Security Bureau in handling cases.
However, case handling isn't like promotions where anyone can simply decide who gets promoted, even if they're not very capable. After some experience, they shouldn't cause too much trouble. But case handling is about doing what you can, and if you can't, no one else matters. If even the professionals in the Public Security Bureau can't handle things, then the bigwigs in the Municipal Party Committee are useless. So, cases that can't be solved remain unsolved, and all that added pressure just doesn't work.
But things changed after Qin Chuan arrived. Before the municipal party committee could even inquire about the progress of the case, Qin Chuan would usually come and report on it proactively. And after two or three reports, the case was basically solved, which made the people in the municipal party committee very happy.
Unfortunately, it didn't work out.
On this day, while Qin Chuan was attending a meeting of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, a secretary of the Municipal Party Committee came in and whispered something in Qin Chuan's ear, forcing the secretary to leave early.
Another major case has occurred!
half an hour ago.
The urgent ringing of the telephone shattered the tranquility of the Criminal Investigation Division office. Li Ming had just finished some finishing touches and was about to take a short break with his team when he heard the ringing. He quickly picked up the receiver.
"Hello, this is the Criminal Investigation Division. What's the situation?" Li Ming's tone was calm, but his eyes revealed a hint of vigilance.
An anxious voice came from the other end of the phone: "Captain Li, a murder has occurred in Lijia Village, Jianshe Township. Li Chenhao and Song Juanjuan, who had been married for only three months, have been killed!"
Li Ming's heart sank. "Okay, we'll head over right away. What's the situation on the ground?"
"The person who reported the case was the mother of the deceased, Li Chenhao. She went to deliver breakfast to the young couple in the morning and found the door open. When she went in, she saw the two of them murdered and was so frightened that she immediately called the police. After receiving the report, our police station immediately cordoned off the scene. The scene is currently well protected, but many villagers have gathered around to watch."
Li Ming hung up the phone and immediately gathered his team: "Comrades, we have a new case. A murder has occurred in Lijia Village, Jianshe Township. A newlywed couple has been killed. Get ready quickly, we're leaving right away!" The team members sprang into action, preparing their equipment.
