Chapter 1738 I am just a rookie in front of him
Li Xiangnan's discovery boosted the morale of the entire task force.
Now, thanks to the efforts of many comrades, the portrait of the murderer is gradually becoming clear.
The murderer was familiar with prison operations, proficient in pharmacology and chemical drug preparations, and had superb knot-tying skills.
Now another piece of information has appeared to lock down his identity.
That is, he most likely has a criminal record, and the case is related to the symbol of snake.
Guo Qian immediately issued an order: "Everyone, Team One, keep a close eye on the prison and investigate suspected perpetrators. Teams Two and Three, do your utmost to search the entire city. No, we must also radiate to the surrounding areas and identify all individuals with criminal records who share these characteristics! Consultant Li and I will go to the Ministry of Public Security!"
When the fifteen members of the First Team of the Criminal Investigation Brigade heard the news, they were instantly energized and immediately got to work.
Seeing Liu Yiming and two new colleagues hurriedly moving a lot of old files back from the archives, Li Xiangnan called home and reminded everyone, "Investigating the case is important, but you also have to take care of your health. Take turns to rest and don't overwork yourself. This is a long-term job!"
He had a hunch that the reason the murderer was so brazen was probably because his case was not so easy to find.
"Got it, Consultant Li. Please go see your father-in-law right away. We're still waiting for your good news!"
Li Xiangnan smiled slightly and then left the office.
Song Zimo was sitting in the corridor, snoring with the cotton pillow given to him by the clerk Xiao Liu. He was woken up by Li Xiangnan and others, and followed them out of the Public Security Building with sleepy eyes.
"Ah, eh... Brother Nan, where are we going so late?"
"Let's go back to the Qin family first and meet my father-in-law!" Li Xiangnan waved his hand and led him into the jeep.
Song Zimo was a little curious and couldn't help asking, "Brother Nan, you must have a clue, right? Can Uncle Qin help you?"
Guo Qian said enviously, "We have some clues, but I trust Consultant Li's intuition! If we find a case related to the snake symbol, we might actually find information about the murderer!"
"Snake?" Hearing this, Song Zimo was full of doubts.
Guo Qian smiled slightly, "Xiao Song, you don't know this, right? When all of us were at our wit's end, your brother Nan found a way to solve our case!"
"Tsk!" Song Zimo gave a thumbs-up. "It's said that my brother Nan is not only a medical genius, but also the best in the public security field!"
"Brother Yi?" Guo Qian was stunned, then burst into laughter, "That's indeed the case!"
The three of them drove a jeep in the dark and hurried to the Qin family compound. They hurriedly walked in and saw Qin Kunlun sitting on the sofa in the living room in his pajamas.
"Dad!" Li Xiangnan said apologetically after entering the room, "Sorry to bother you with your rest!"
Qin Kunlun looked at his watch and a look of heartache appeared on his face.
"I heard from Ruobai that Xiao Guo dragged you to investigate a case? Is there a clue?"
Guo Qian, standing behind Li Xiangnan, saw Qin Kunlun looking at him and quickly raised his hand. With a look of awe on his face, he said, "Minister Qin, I'm sorry to bother you. I have a clue..."
"You, can't try to bully my son-in-law to death!" Qin Kunlun couldn't help laughing when he saw his expression.
Guo Qian had met Qin Kunlun several times, but never in such a relaxed environment, nor had he been so close. Hearing his teasing, he felt deeply moved. He smiled awkwardly and said frankly, "Advisor Li is such a formidable investigator. In front of him, I, the Criminal Investigation Team Leader, feel like a rookie!"
"Hahaha, you bastard!" Qin Kunlun laughed heartily, tapped Guo Qian with his finger, and narrowed his eyes to reveal crow's feet. "As expected of Zhang Tiancheng's disciple, your temperament is exactly like his!"
At this point, he made eye contact with Song Zimo and pointed at the brewed tea, "Xiao Song is here too, sit down and have a cup of tea first!"
After the greetings, Qin Kunlun changed the subject and asked his son-in-law, "You asked me if I was home so late, saying you were looking for clues. What do you mean?"
"dad!"
Facing his father-in-law from the Ministry of Public Security, Li Xiangnan had no reason to hide anything, so he told her everything about the Xu Sheng case. Finally, he asked, "I just want to ask you, have you noticed any major cases involving the snake symbol in recent years?"
Qin Kunlun smoked a cigarette with a frown on his face. He recalled things seriously for a long time before shaking his head.
"no!"
Hearing his father-in-law's affirmative answer, Li Xiangnan subconsciously exchanged glances with Guo Qian and Song Zimo, and his heart suddenly sank.
My father-in-law is the head of the Ministry of Public Security, so he must be involved in many major cases.
Could it be that the crime committed by the murderer of Xu Sheng was not a serious one?
Did I misunderstand the importance of the other person?
Why did the murderer make it so ritualistic?
To someone who doesn't understand, this is completely meaningless!
"But perhaps I'm just ignorant and haven't heard of this! Perhaps it happened before I took office..."
But soon, his father-in-law's words made Li Xiangnan regain his confidence. His eyes lit up and he said, "Dad, you are not ignorant. Look..."
"You brat!" Qin Kunlun smiled subconsciously as he spoke. "I'll call the Ministry. You go directly to the Criminal Science and Technology Section and ask them to arrange for the file to be retrieved. Xiao Guo, you've got a letter of introduction, right?"
Before the establishment of the Major Cases Section of the Criminal Investigation Bureau in 83, most of the major cases were assigned to agencies under the Public Security Administration Bureau.
Guo Qian stood at attention and said, "It has been handled, leader. Thank you for your assistance in investigating the case!"
"You kid, you should get to the bottom of the case as soon as possible!" Qin Kunlun smiled, picked up the phone and started making a call.
Li Xiangnan breathed a sigh of relief, and his father-in-law nodded. He also had the cooperation documents from the Municipal Bureau, and the files and information from that year in the department could be retrieved!
As long as the murderer of the Xu Sheng case has committed a crime before, no matter where he is, it will be recorded!
Although he could apply to the Ministry for access to some information with the documents, following the procedures would inevitably waste time. Li Xiangnan couldn't wait, and neither could this case.
Ding Erpian's accident again proved that the murderer's behavioral logic had been planned long ago.
If we wait any longer, who knows who will have another "accident"!
"Dad, thank you so much!"
After his father-in-law hung up the phone and said that he could go directly to the department as there would be someone on duty at night, Li Xiangnan hurriedly thanked him.
"I understand how you feel, and I don't want to see anyone else get into trouble! Hurry up and go!" Qin Kunlun didn't want to let his son-in-law worry, and stood up to see him off: "Ruobai has been taken to the Song family by Song Yi for a vacation these days. I'm relieved that she's taking care of your family! There's nothing to worry about at home, just investigate the case and find the murderer for me!"
"Yes!" Li Xiangnan stood at attention, then led Guo Qian and Song Zimo and drove hurriedly into the night.
But for three consecutive days, the results of the large-scale investigation were disappointing.
There are some cases in Yanjing City and several surrounding cities that meet some individual characteristics, but are there any that meet all the conditions at the same time, especially those related to the snake symbol?
Li Xiangnan's situation was not going well either. He had looked through all the files from the past five years, and his search had expanded from homicides to unsolved cases of suspected suicides, but he had not found any suspects who matched the description.
Guo Qian and Song Zimo were lying on the ground among the files, with two pairs of panda eyes, looking extremely depressed.
"Brother Nan, I'm going crazy. I feel like I'm going blind!"
"Xiao Li, is it possible that the previous case actually occurred before your father-in-law took office, before he entered management?"
Li Xiangnan squatted on the ground with a frown on his face.
"Then review all the old cases, especially those unsolved cases with special and distinctive methods, and look for any traces related to snakes!"
He looked at Guo Qian and Song Zimo and said seriously, "This time, let's go back twenty years!"
