In the evening, He Chengfeng held a small meeting with several case investigators in his office, and the formal host police officer Huang Mao was also there.
"How do you say that?" He Chengfeng frowned and smoked. He took a big drag, glanced at the cigarette butt sideways, and felt that it could be lit again. He took another deep puff before putting it into the ashtray.
"No, it's hard to get through with the legal system." A policeman shook his head and said simply.
"It's a murder case. It can't be solved so easily. It's a big deal. Just take your time." Another old comrade didn't care and even took the time to go and beg for a cigarette from Cheng Feng.
This guy has a very good nose. Once he smelled it, he knew that the deputy captain, who was famous for smoking and tea in the brigade, had gotten good cigarettes from somewhere. Another glance at his stingy look of reluctance made him even more sure.
The quick-reacting old detective shamelessly scraped a cigarette from He Chengfeng's hand, placed it under his nose and took a puff. He then leaned back on the sofa happily and started smoking.
Fortunately, this guy has a good sense of responsibility. For the sake of Yan, he didn't forget to put forward constructive suggestions while enjoying himself: "Heda, don't worry. Give me thirty-seven days, even if you dig three feet into the ground, I will do it."
I’ll give you an explanation!”
Depending on the severity of the case, criminal detention can be as short as three days and as long as 37 days. During this period, the police handling the case must report to the procuratorate for arrest.
For small cases with solid evidence, seven days is enough.
For homicide cases, the time limit is usually set at thirty days, but may be extended to thirty-seven days.
Such a long day not only gives the police handling the case sufficient time to collect and organize evidence, but also allows room for communication with the person in charge of the procuratorate.
The difference between large and small cases lies in the fact that the police handling the case can predict the court's sentencing time for the suspect.
Within three years, and the crime committed is not within the scope of the eight unforgivable crimes. As long as the criminal suspect has a good attitude, the police will take the initiative to get a bail and help fight for a suspended sentence. There is no need to spend money on a lawyer.
For more than three years, 99% will be detained and 99.9% will be arrested later.
Nowadays, we are promoting the integration of arrest and prosecution, and the prosecutor who approves the arrest will be the public prosecutor sitting across from him during the trial in the court. If he is arrested, he will definitely have to fight to the death to prosecute, otherwise he will be slapped in the face.
He Chengfeng was so angry at this old man that he slapped his chest so loudly that he was going to give him an explanation?
What to explain?
Get bail or let him go?
"Haha, give me an explanation? When the time comes, go to the procuratorate and give an explanation!"
He Chengfeng slammed the table hard and shouted: "This is a murder case! Are you still planning to delay it? Let me tell you, Lao Mao, do you want to delay the case, or do you want to take off your clothes?"
Lao Mao shrugged, noncommittal, but the deputy captain in front of him kept glaring at him angrily. He had no choice but to change the subject and asked: "By the way, will the arrest report be handed over to Xiao Huang when the time comes?"
During the period of criminal detention, the public security organ shall report to the procuratorate to arrest the criminal suspect, which is referred to as "reporting arrest".
Huang Mao had just come to the Criminal Investigation Brigade and had never handled a criminal case before. Without a full set of experience, he naturally couldn't take over this murder case.
"Huh, what a beautiful idea! You handle the case, and Xiao Huang signs it. If you fail, I'll cut your head off!" He Chengfeng snorted coldly, raising his hand like a machete to scare the other party.
However, he also knew that they were all old-timers, so he just walked around the scene, and finally threw away the half pack of cigarettes in his hand.
From the moment he walked in, the guy's eyes never left the cigarette case.
"no problem!"
This old man in Cheng Feng's eyes took the cigarette, stood up, and saluted his deputy captain at attention.
He Chengfeng waved his hand absentmindedly.
I got a clue from Chen Shu earlier. He was a little too excited. He patted his chest in front of the captain and made a decision that would be broken in three days.
There is not much difference in procedure and law whether the criminal suspect reports to the procuratorate for arrest on the 3rd or the 30th.
But under the leadership's nose, the difference is much greater.
And He Chengfeng's ears were quite sensitive. After reporting his work to the team leader, he left the office and closed the door for a short while.
He clearly heard the other party calling their director.
The content was more exaggerated than what he reported.
He said yes, the case has been solved.
Broken? Broke your paralysis! Why is this kid so restless? He brags to the director before even reporting his arrest... He Cheng Feng selectively forgot the oath he made when he just reported to work.
He resented the lack of steel, but if the case really had to be delayed until the 30th, or even the arrest report on the 37th, he wouldn't be able to live with it.
"Let's go! Let's break up the meeting!"
He Chengfeng waved his hand in pain. He only had the last pack left on hand, and he had to save it for pens after the case was solved.
He said it was a breakup, but actually he and Cheng Feng found a reason to send away the irrelevant people.
He grabbed Huang Mao, who was walking at the end, put on a smile that he thought was very practical, and asked: "Huang Mao, are you free? Give Officer Chen a call."
Huang Mao is simple, but not stupid.
He knew very well why the deputy captain in front of him, who used to walk around the unit with a straight face every day, had been so cheerful towards him these days.
"Dududu."
"Hello? Huang Mao, what's going on?"
"Need direct evidence?"
A familiar voice came from the microphone.
When He Chengfeng heard this, he clearly noticed the surprise in the other person's microphone.
Yes, there is no one who, considering his own case, would not seek help from the masters in his own unit, but instead call colleagues from other units for help and advice.
Not to mention, this unit is thousands of miles away from them.
He Chengfeng has been a policeman for more than 20 years, and this is the first time he has experienced such a thing. Ten thousand grass and mud horses ran through him in his heart.
If the captain hadn't been such an idiot, bragging in front of the director so early, why would he have done such a shameful thing?
"..."
The microphone was silent for a long time. Just when He Chengfeng was doubting his life and felt that he was going to be hung up and beaten by the leader this time, there was a sound from the other side.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Listening to his ears at this time is no less than the sound of nature.
"Huang Mao, are you still in charge of the case now?"
"..." Huang Mao said nothing, turning to look at the deputy captain with his ears pricked up.
He Chengfeng suppressed his voice and said quickly: "You must host it. Didn't I tell you during the meeting earlier that I asked Lao Mao to sign with you?"
In fact, Qiantou and Cheng Feng were planning to let Huang Mao sign with Lao Mao.
When the police handle a case, any procedure requires the signature of two police officers with law enforcement powers.
One is the organizer, with the signature at the front, and the other is the co-organizer, with the ranking at the back.
However, Huang Mao knew that with his current skills as a three-legged cat, he might have to mess up the matter if he really took charge.
Although it is co-organized, the rewards afterwards are also indispensable.
He accepted the kindness of the impatient leader.
"Ahem." Huang Mao's cough made He Chengfeng feel nervous, "Yes, Mr. Chen, I still have to sign the case."
"That's good. Now that you have found the shoes, only the missing rope is left. This rope was cut from the rope used by the deceased to hang himself. You can check it out by comparing the joints.
.”
"Chen Da, do you know where the rope is? We checked Zheng Jie's surveillance several times, but we couldn't find any trace of the rope. There is no reason for such a long rope to disappear out of thin air.
.”
Yes. In order to find this second rope, they opened their eyes wide and flipped through the surveillance video frame by frame.
But Zheng Jie, who appeared in the video wearing short sleeves and shorts, had no place for him to take the rope out of the room.
Including the room he stayed in, He Chengfeng and others had already looked through it countless times, but they couldn't find anything.
The rope that can be hung from the fourth floor is so long, it's like the quality control has disappeared, and there is no trace of it at all.
After finding it, both Cheng Feng and Cheng Feng were a little doubtful whether there was such a so-called second rope.
Hearing this, He Chengfeng took a deep breath and felt a little nervous, just like when he was a child watching the testimonials at the end of "Detective Conan".
He couldn't help but hold his breath.
"You are going in the wrong direction."
The microphone on the opposite side emitted a gentle laugh, and his words were confident and certain.
"Zheng A-mei is the hotel cleaner. Since Zheng Jie knew to let her enter the deceased's room and lock the window, he would definitely let her enter his room, and then justifiably take away the second rope left inside.
"If nothing else goes wrong, she would have taken the opportunity to clean the room where Zheng Jie lived, hide the rope in the hotel's cleaning truck and take it away. There are many and miscellaneous things on the car, and you may not be able to find it in the video.
"Look through the surveillance cameras of her in the hotel these days, and you will definitely be able to find her!"
boom!
He Chengfeng slapped his palm on the desk, tears filling his eyes.
Done!
It’s so damn hard!
Phew, I can finally swing my arms in front of the director, throw a pack of yellow cigarettes on his desk, and then blow hard!
As I get older, this is the only hobby I have left.
