The police lights flashed silently, and the cars on both sides of the road consciously gave way.
Captain Chen Wangjun pursed his lips and drove in silence. Fan Mingyu, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, didn't say anything.
Both of them were veterans of the Shangjiang Security Agency. Because the leaders of both sides were at loggerheads, the relationship between the two was also very subtle. There was intense competition between them, but they also admired each other.
In this line of work, those who were truly capable would always be respected.
The Phoenix Bar case was led by Chen Wangjun, but there were no clues. The case of the Zhang brothers' accidental deaths was led by Fan Mingyu, but there was also no progress.
This time, the people who died in Guanjiang Square were of high status, and the Security Bureau was under a lot of pressure. Although Shen Jun wanted to watch Guan Honghe's drama unfold, on the surface, he had to do his best to help. Fan Mingyu was also assigned to the task force by him.
Of course, this was also to let Fan Mingyu supervise Chen Wangjun. After all, this was an earth-shattering case. As the deputy director, Fan Jun had to know everything.
Chen Wangjun and Fan Mingyu both knew each other's motives. Although they weren't enemies, they couldn't get along. Moreover, Chen Wangjun had a dull personality and didn't like to talk much.
The two of them sat in the same car, and the atmosphere was very gloomy.
Fan Mingyu thought that the two of them would be working together for a period of time in the future. This kind of interaction was too awkward, and it would have a great impact on their work.
She took the initiative to break the silence and said, "Officer Xu is very emotional about Gao Zhengyang."
"Yes." Chen Wangjun responded. Although it was only one word, it expressed his agreement and willingness to communicate.
Fan Mingyu also heaved a sigh of relief. It was good that the other party was willing to cooperate. She said, "I've investigated Gao Zhengyang's file, and there's nothing strange about it. It's just that I've been writing novels online for the past few months and earned some money, but that's nothing. "
Chen Wangjun nodded. "Twenty Years in the Underworld. It's quite well written."
He had seen too many hooligans in his line of work, and 99% of them ended up miserable. "Twenty Years in the Underworld" was written about the cruelty and terror within, which made him feel quite emotional.
He paused for a moment before continuing, "The Xu family is a noble family, and they don't even think highly of a lowly person like Gao Zhengyang. The relationship between the two sides is said to be very strained. "
Chen Wangjun wasn't a good person, but he was very good at doing things. As for Gao Zhengyang, who was related to this case, he had already investigated him thoroughly.
Fan Mingyu asked tentatively, "Captain Chen, do you think Gao Zhengyang is a suspect?"
Chen Wangjun was silent for a moment before saying, "Apart from me, everyone else is a suspect."
"Uh …"
Fan Mingyu was a little embarrassed. Chen Wangjun's train of thought was really different from ordinary people. But there was nothing wrong with saying that.
She thought for a moment and said, "I think this case is similar to the Phoenix Bar and the Zhang brothers …"
A real detective solving a case was completely different from the detective in movies and TV shows. Of course, reasoning and analysis were important, but it was just a way of thinking.
Psychological analysis, in particular, could only play a supporting role in the investigation process. It was even more impossible to profile the murderer as soon as he saw the crime scene and accurately pinpoint the characteristics of the murderer.
Make bold assumptions and verify them carefully. In the end, it all depended on the evidence. Only when the witness and material evidence were complete and irrefutable could the case be closed.
With the advancement of modern technology, there were cameras everywhere, and there was even the Heavenly Eye System that was connected to the Federation's network. It was impossible for the murderer to leave no traces behind.
Therefore, solving the case was just a matter of cost. As long as the police were willing to invest, there was no case that couldn't be solved.
However, the Phoenix Bar case and the Zhang brothers case had both invested a lot of police force, but there had been no progress. In particular, the Phoenix Bar case was clearly a murder, but no clues were found at the scene.
Within the Security Bureau, all the detectives who knew about the case were amazed. It was simply impossible for there to be no clues left at the scene of a murder.
People made mistakes and left all kinds of traces. Especially during a struggle, how could there be no traces at all? But the truth was strange.
Chen Wangjun had racked his brains for the case, but no matter how much he investigated, there were no clues. The only clue was the phone call the boss made before he died.
But after observing Xu Jing for two months, there was no discovery. Today, Xu Jing fell to his death in Guanjiang Square. It was a particularly strange way to die.
Due to his many years of experience in criminal investigation, Chen Wangjun also felt that this case was related to the Phoenix Bar case and the Zhang brothers case. He didn't expect Fan Mingyu to think so too.
He looked at Fan Mingyu and asked, "Why do you think the three cases are connected?"
Fan Mingyu said without hesitation, "Because it's so strange!"
On the surface, the three cases didn't seem to be directly connected. There were no similarities in the modus operandi or the victims. However, the crime scenes of the three cases were extremely clean, as if a ghost had killed someone and left no traces behind.
Chen Wangjun nodded. Fan Mingyu's summary was very good.
He asked again, "Why do you think the murderer did this?"
Fan Mingyu had a lot of speculations about this, but she couldn't find a reasonable explanation. She said, "The murderer could have killed the victims in the simplest way, but he chose to kill them all by throwing them to their deaths. His intention should be very simple, to mislead us."
She organized her words and continued, "He used a strange method to cover up his identity and motive."
Chen Wangjun glanced at Fan Mingyu again. She was indeed a good detective for a woman to think so much. He asked again, "Then how did the murderer kill Xu Jing and the others?"
Fan Mingyu couldn't help but shake her head. "I originally thought that the simplest way would be to use a springboard. He put the person on it and then used the springboard to bounce the person up and fall to his death. It's also possible that he used some kind of super springboard. It's also possible that he used a helicopter … "But we didn't find any traces at the scene."
No matter what kind of tool was used, it would be hard not to leave traces. Of course, the rough cement floor of the square could also be protected from leaving traces.
The problem was that it was very troublesome to do that, and not something that could be done by one person.
Judging from the crime scene, the murderer had only killed them for a short time. The victims were clearly conscious when they died. They weren't puppets that could be manipulated however they wanted.
Fan Mingyu felt that it would be very difficult to do it so cleanly and without leaving any traces.
After a moment of silence, Chen Wangjun said slowly, "I've thought about what you said, but it would require at least three people to cooperate and enough time. I don't think that many people would be involved in this case. "
Fan Mingyu felt that Chen Wangjun hadn't finished speaking, so she couldn't help but ask, "Captain Chen, what do you think?"
Chen Wangjun hesitated for a moment. He and Fan Mingyu were on opposite sides, so logically speaking, he shouldn't talk to Fan Mingyu. However, these cases had troubled him for a long time, and he really needed to communicate with someone. Fan Mingyu's mind was very clear, and she was a good person to communicate with.
Moreover, if he couldn't solve this case, his career would come to an end. There would be no point in worrying about human relations.
He said his deduction, "Actually, the simplest way is to grab the victims and throw them to their deaths."
"How is that possible?"
Fan Mingyu immediately retorted, "Do you know how much strength it would take to throw a fifty-kilogram object ten meters into the air?"
Chen Wangjun nodded. He was also half an engineering student, so he naturally knew how much strength it would take. The physical fitness of modern people was getting better and better, but there was still a long way to go.
He seemed to be explaining, but also seemed to be talking to himself. He said in a low voice, "This is the only explanation that makes sense. In this world, there will always be some things that exceed common sense … "
Fan Mingyu didn't say anything else. She felt that Chen Wangjun's idea was too ridiculous and unscientific.
When they arrived at Gao Zhengyang's house, Fan Mingyu and Chen Wangjun spoke again, "I'm going to knock."
Chen Wangjun held the gun under his ribs and nodded to indicate that he was ready.
Although it was unlikely that Gao Zhengyang was the murderer, and it was even less likely that he would resist them. But he still had to do the necessary preparations.
Knock knock knock.
Fan Mingyu knocked on the door three times and waited for almost a minute before someone answered lazily, "Who is it?"
"A detective from the Security Bureau."
Fan Mingyu said loudly, "We need your assistance in the investigation. Please open the door."
After a while, the door opened. Gao Zhengyang was wearing a short-sleeved shirt, shorts, and slippers. He stood at the door and looked at Fan Mingyu and Chen Wangjun. "Detective?"
"This is my ID." Fan Mingyu saw how relaxed Gao Zhengyang was and felt relieved. She handed the ID to Gao Zhengyang.
Gao Zhengyang glanced at it casually and returned the ID to Fan Mingyu. "What do you want to ask?"
Fan Mingyu said, "I'm sorry, please put on your clothes and come back to the Security Bureau with us to make a detailed statement."
"I'm not going." Gao Zhengyang refused casually and turned to close the door.
Fan Mingyu quickly reached out to hold the door open and said seriously, "It is a citizen's duty to cooperate with the Security Bureau's investigation."
"I don't want to fulfill my duty. Is it illegal?" Gao Zhengyang asked indifferently.
"It's illegal." Chen Wangjun warned sternly. "And it's a serious violation. Depending on the seriousness of the case, you can be detained for three to fifteen days."
Gao Zhengyang smiled. "I don't know much about the law, but I have a lawyer. I need to ask a lawyer."
He took out his phone and looked like he was really going to call a lawyer.
Fan Mingyu quickly tried to persuade him. "Mr. Gao, there's no need to go through so much trouble. You can come with us to the Security Bureau and make a statement. If you find a lawyer, we'll apply for an arrest warrant. After all, you're an important suspect in a major murder case! "
Gao Zhengyang glanced at Fan Mingyu. "Last night, a group of people came to my house and smashed and seriously disturbed the security. None of you did anything about it. Now you say I'm a suspect. What are you thinking? "
Gao Zhengyang swung his hand and pushed Fan Mingyu's hand away. He then slammed the door. "Don't talk nonsense. You need evidence."
"He's very arrogant."
Fan Mingyu was a little surprised. According to the file, Gao Zhengyang was very low-key and introverted. The person in front of her was very arrogant.
"Maybe he's rich. Maybe he's angry about what happened yesterday …"
Chen Wangjun said thoughtfully, "Maybe he did it on purpose."
Chen Wangjun took out an arrest warrant from his pocket and handed it to Fan Mingyu. "Since he's not cooperating, we can only take him by force."
Fan Mingyu looked at Chen Wangjun. He had already applied for an arrest warrant. He was determined to get Gao Zhengyang!
