South to North: A Prison Guard at the Beginning

Chapter 254 Investigation clues

On the afternoon of September 7, Yuan Mu and his group of ten people took a train to Haidai Province and arrived at their destination on the morning of September 8.

At this time, a car from the Provincial Public Security Department had arrived outside the train station to pick them up, and everyone got in the car and went to the guesthouse to settle down.

On the morning of September 9, in a conference room of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, there were already quite a few people sitting there, most of them were police officers and some leaders of the Municipal Party Committee.

The case was introduced by a deputy director of the Provincial Public Security Department, who shared their latest clues.

This case is not only a headache for Qing City, but also for the provincial party committee and government, as well as the municipal party committee and government. This incident has caused a certain degree of social panic. The most urgent thing now is to catch the murderer and punish him.

"Comrade Jiang Nan, Comrade Yuan Mu, we invited you here this time to see if you can give us some constructive suggestions. We have caught this murderer for more than a month, but he can actually commit crimes continuously under our noses!" Public Security Director Liu Bing said helplessly.

How could they not feel helpless? The provincial public security bureau and the municipal police jointly investigated the case, using almost all the resources of the province, but they just couldn't catch this person. Can you believe it? They have tried all the methods they could, but it was useless. Now they are afraid that the murderer will commit crimes again, which is really embarrassing.

"Vice Governor Liu, can I take a look at the body of the deceased first?" Yuan Mu looked at Liu Bing and said. This Liu Bing is not only the director of the Public Security Department, but also the vice governor in charge of politics and law.

"Of course there is no problem. The body of the deceased is now stored in the city funeral home and you can view it at any time." Liu Bing nodded.

"Okay, then please send someone to take us there." Yuan Mu nodded.

Yuan Mu had already discussed the autopsy with Jiang Nan before coming here. Although Jiang Nan was the leader of this mission, he also had the right to follow the case.

"No problem. Xiao Zhao, take your comrades from the Ministry of Public Security to the funeral home." Liu Bing nodded and pointed to a person, who was the director of the Qing City Public Security Bureau, Zhao Xinjun.

In a morgue in Qing City Funeral Home.

This morgue was set aside by the funeral home to store the five victims. Because the case has not been solved yet, the five bodies cannot be buried or cremated for the time being.

The people from the funeral home pulled one of the bodies out of the freezer. Yuan Mu, Jiang Nan and several members of the investigation team all wore masks and moved closer. Liu Jun lifted the white cloth, and a naked body appeared in front of everyone.

As soon as the corpse appeared, everyone frowned tightly, and some people even felt a little uncomfortable, because the corpse was too miserable. It was Han Qian's corpse.

Han Qian's body showed obvious signs of having been beaten. There were bruises on her face, neck, body, and legs, and an obvious wound on her chest, but these were nothing compared to the injuries to her lower body and anus.

The most important thing is Han Qian's lower body, which is even more horrible at this moment.

"What a huge hatred this must be, it's so harmful to others!" Jiang Nan frowned, feeling somewhat reluctant.

"Pull out the other bodies!" Yuan Mu gave the order without thinking too much.

Soon, five bodies appeared in front of everyone. Relatively speaking, Han Qian's body was the worst, while Zhao Xuemei suffered the least. Of course, this was relative.

"Director Zhao, have you investigated the social relationships of these five people?" Yuan Mu turned and looked at Zhao Xinjun.

"Well, we have investigated it a long time ago. These are the family backgrounds and social relations of the five deceased." Zhao Xinjun nodded and handed Yuan Mu a document.

Yuan Mu took the document and gave half to Jiang Nan before starting to look through it. However, he did not find anything wrong. Except for Han Qian, the other four were all very honest and ordinary people.

Han Qian is very beautiful, so it is rumored that she is a bit fickle and is coveted by many people. The scope of this investigation is too wide.

And because of her job as a reporter, it is inevitable that she will attract some people and cause some trouble. Yuan Mu would not be surprised if she had enemies, as the profession of reporter is inherently dangerous.

It's still okay in this era, but in the future, those journalists will write everything for the sake of traffic, and countless journalists will die in vendettas every year.

After leaving the funeral home, Yuan Mu and others held a meeting to study the case and shared their opinions, but no one made any good discoveries.

"Director Jiang, I have a solution that is not a solution." Yuan Mu thought for a while and then looked at Jiang Nan.

"Tell me about it." Jiang Nan handed Yuan Mu a cigarette and said.

"Think about it, Han Qian was tortured so badly before her death. Two possibilities cannot be ruled out. First, there is a grudge between Han Qian and the murderer. Second, the murderer is extremely mentally abnormal."

"Of course, both possibilities are probably correct. Then we can start with Han Qian's work. Let's investigate the articles that Han Qian wrote before her death and find out if the content of these articles is unfavorable to certain people."

"Well, what Director Yuan said makes sense. Then let's open up this first route. Xiao Wang, you and Xiao Zhang will handle this matter. Let the people from the Municipal Bureau cooperate with you to investigate at the newspaper where Han Qian works." Jiang Nan took a deep puff of cigarette and nodded.

"Okay, Director Jiang!" The two young men stood up and nodded.

"Director Yuan, do you have any other suggestions?" Jiang Nan continued to ask.

"And there's this student, Sun Qiaoqiao. We can go visit her school and see if there are any witnesses."

"But the local police have already used this method. They have visited the school several times but no one has discovered this." Jiang Nan frowned.

"Local affairs are local affairs. Now that we are here, we have to re-investigate. After all, we didn't join the investigation at that time, right?" Yuan Mu waved his hand.

"Well, there is no better way now, but at least we should get started." Jiang Nan hesitated for a moment and then agreed with Yuan Mu's opinion, and immediately pointed out two people to do it.

"There are also Li Li and Roman. One of them is a textile factory worker and the other is a middle school teacher. Although the local police have visited both places, we still need to re-investigate and find clues in the chaos."

"And as for Zhao Xuemei, I plan to go to Zhao Xuemei's home in person and talk to her family about the case. With so many deaths, I don't believe that there won't be any clues." Yuan Mu said with narrowed eyes.

"Then Director Yuan, let's do as you say first. After the investigation is completed, we will sit down and have a meeting to share the clues we have obtained." Jiang Nan actually had no other choice but to do this for now.
