The next morning, when Wang Xue opened the door of the interrogation room, she saw Fan Debiao leaning on the chair with his head down. Wang Xue thought he was asleep. She walked over and pushed him. As a result, she found out that he didn't respond. Wang Xue pushed him again, and Fan Debiao fell directly from the chair. His whole body was lying on the ground.
Wang Xue looked at him and saw Fan Debiao's pupils dilated. There was a huge mark on his neck, and his eyes were bloodshot. Wang Xue looked at Fan Debiao's mouth and saw that his tongue had turned purple-black.
Fan Debiao was dead. He was strangled to death in the Public Security Bureau. With such a big thing happening, Wang Xue immediately reported it to the higher-ups. The first to rush over were the branch captain, Guo Lei, and the team leader, Fu Pengchao. When Guo Lei saw that the suspect died in the interrogation room of the Public Security Bureau, he immediately ordered the scene to be sealed off and reported to the bureau chief. When Mi Yi heard the news of Fan Debiao's death, he was shocked. An important criminal suspect and an important clue were broken just like that. Moreover, the person died in the Public Security Bureau. If this case couldn't be solved, it would be the number one scandal in the Public Security Bureau this year. Mi Yi couldn't be the bureau chief anymore. He couldn't even think about his position as the deputy head. He could go home and mop the floor.
Mi Yi immediately ordered a thorough investigation of the case. Everyone who was on duty in the Public Security Bureau last night was not allowed to leave without permission. They had to be monitored 24 hours a day until the murderer was found.
When the bureau chief spoke, the entire Public Security Bureau was mobilized. All the police officers who were on duty last night were arrested. Everyone had to be interrogated strictly. Wang Xue immediately went to the monitoring room to check last night's surveillance video. However, she didn't know why half of the cameras in the bureau were broken. The ones in the interrogation room and the corridor were broken. Only a few at the door were working. However, the Public Security Bureau was a super large unit. There were hundreds and thousands of people going in and out every day. It was impossible to thoroughly investigate everyone, which made the case more difficult.
When Guo Lei found out that the surveillance system was broken, he knew that it was obviously sabotaged by someone. When he summoned the person on duty who had been watching the surveillance last night, he was told that there was no one on duty last night. Xiao Wu, who was supposed to be on duty, had suddenly taken a leave of absence because his wife was having a baby, so there was no one on duty last night. Xiao Wu was most likely the suspect, so Guo Lei immediately ordered for Xiao Wu to be summoned for questioning.
But when Lil Wu arrived, according to his testimony, his family, and the hospital's testimonies, Lil Wu had not left the hospital at all last night. So who was the murderer? The case had once again entered a dead end.
After a whole day of interrogation, almost everyone in the Public Security Bureau was interrogated. However, everyone was either not on duty last night or had an alibi. The people on duty had colleagues who could prove that they had been together last night. Guo Lei had no choice but to temporarily stop the interrogation of the internal personnel. He turned his attention to the periphery and began to interrogate whether a stranger had sneaked into the Public Security Bureau to commit a crime last night.
But after a night of investigation, Guo Lei was depressed to find that there were no cars passing by the Public Security Bureau last night. Jiangnan City was not a first-tier city, but only a third-tier city. Moreover, it was winter now. The temperature at night was as low as minus one or two degrees. There were not many cars on the street, let alone people. The investigation had once again reached a deadlock.
The next morning, in the bureau chief's office, the atmosphere was dull and serious. Mi Yi and Wang Huasheng sat on the sofa and kept smoking. Wang Xue and Guo Lei stood in front of them, not daring to even breathe loudly.
After a while, Wang Huasheng suddenly said, "You two are derelict in your duties. You knew that Fan Debiao was an important witness, but you two didn't send someone to watch him when you left. This caused him to be killed. Now that he is dead, the clues are broken. Tell me, how can this case be solved? The leader of the provincial office knows about this. He has already given a death order. He wants us to solve all three cases within a week. If we can't solve it, you, and Bureau Chief Mi will all have to be laid off! "
"What, a week? Dad, are you kidding me? How can a week be enough for such a complicated case? I think it will take at least a month! "Wang Xue said with grievance.
Wang Huasheng waved his hand angrily and said, "Don't call me dad. We are working now. You and I are superior and subordinate. I don't have such a careless daughter like you. An extremely important suspect actually died in your hands. Tell me, can you bear this responsibility?"
Wang Xue was reprimanded by her father to the point that she almost cried. She pouted, and her cigarette was filled with tears. "Yes, Secretary Wang!"
Mi Yi, who was sitting on the other side, hurried to be the peacemaker when he saw the father and daughter's anger. He said, "Hey, Xiaoxue, don't be impatient. You have to use your brain and use your own thinking. Think about it, if a criminal dares to kill someone in our Public Security Bureau so openly, what does it mean? It means that the murderer is very familiar with the internal department of our Public Security Bureau. He even knows which corner has a camera and which camera is broken. So, you have to work on our internal personnel. Some things found at the crime scene are very likely to be left behind by the murderer. You have to think carefully."
Just as Mi Yi said this, Wang Xue suddenly remembered an important clue. She said, "Oh ya, Bureau Chief Mi, we found a burned filtered cigarette at the crime scene. This brand is very special. It is a high-end cigarette. Among the internal personnel of the Public Security Bureau, there are not many people who can afford this kind of cigarette."
Mi Yi nodded with appreciation. "Yes, you see? I just said to use my brain, and you thought of an important clue. Very good. You immediately investigate this clue. See which comrades in our internal personnel smoke, and which comrades smoke the kind of cigarette left at the crime scene. Anyone who smokes that kind of cigarette, no matter who it is, give me a strict investigation!"
Wang Xue and Guo Lei gave a conditional salute. "Yes!"
The two of them retreated from the bureau chief's office and prepared to investigate the internal personnel again. At this time, a police officer ran in front of them.
