Chapter 872: Knowing Inadequate and Forging Forward
"Investigating cases requires using your brain. If you are placed in this position, you must be willing to study the skills of handling cases and strive to improve your professional level. You cannot do things in such a haphazard manner.
If Mr. Yong hadn't invited me here, I wouldn't have known that my case-handling team was so untested and that their professional skills were so unqualified.
My face has been humiliated by you, but as the leader of a bureau, this primary responsibility lies with me.
Now that you already know where your own gaps lie, you must ‘know your shame and then be brave, know your shortcomings and then forge ahead’.
I am taking this opportunity to discuss the case today as a reminder to you, and I will not be so polite next time."
Mr. Mai from the police station said to his subordinates very seriously.
After hearing what Director Mai said, the police officer who was in charge of leading the team yesterday also stood up and said together with the detective beside him: "I will never let down the expectations of the bureau and I will never embarrass the bureau."
Officer Mai from the police station snorted coldly at this and said nothing. It was obvious that his anger at the irresponsibility of his subordinates had not dissipated because of their statements.
Yong Ming waited until they sat down again and said, "Mai Ju, do you think there is such a possibility?
In other words, there are two identical snuff bottles.
It turned out that Deng Chengfeng picked up the snuff bottle to look at, but it was later switched.
The powdery snuff contained in the snuff bottle originally placed on the tea table is non-toxic.
Therefore, this snuff bottle of unknown origin did not arouse the vigilance of Deng Chengfeng and the people in the tea house.
They just regarded it as an unknown guest who left it inadvertently when he went to the tea house to buy tea and sat down to drink tea and chat.
So, although this snuff bottle is not an item of the tea house, since it is a harmless guest's item, it is not a big deal to put it on the tea table for receiving guests.
Later, when the guest remembers that the snuff bottle is lost and returns to the teahouse to look for it, it will be convenient to retrieve it and return it.
Against this background, when Zhang Taijiang came to the tea house, perhaps out of curiosity or out of personal need, Zhang Taijiang picked up the snuff bottle that had been proven to be non-toxic and tested the snuff it contained.
used.
However, the snuff bottle placed on the tea table at this time, although it still looked like an ordinary snuff bottle, had actually become a murder weapon.
As a result, Zhang Taijiang mistakenly used poisonous snuff without knowing it, which led to unexpected events, leading to a murder case that occurred without warning."
After Yong Ming finished speaking, he looked at Chief Mai of the police station to see what kind of reaction he would have after hearing what he said.
Yong Ming's words made the police station's Mai Ju fall into deep thought.
This kind of analysis can indeed explain why the snuff bottle taken from the crime scene did not have Deng Chengfeng's fingerprints on it.
The snuff contained in the snuff bottle is mixed with a highly toxic substance similar to potassium cyanide. Once inhaled into the body, the poison will become toxic in a very short time, and the poisoned person is hopeless.
The murderer used such a highly toxic and quick-acting poison because he did not want Deng Chengfeng to stay out of the incident.
After all, Deng Chengfeng was the only person sitting at the tea table with Zhang Taijiang at that time, drinking tea and chatting together.
The murderer's operation can be described as "killing two birds with one stone", and it can be called vicious and insidious.
He not only killed Zhang Taijiang through poisoning, but also implicated Deng Chengfeng in the murder case, making him the biggest suspect of murder and losing his personal freedom.
We don’t know what kind of relationship this murderer has with Zhang Taijiang, but we know that he must have a sinister plot against Deng Chengfeng.
This made Bureau Mai of the police station start to think about the background motive of this murder case, which may have ended up being for the business of the "Ruixiangxuan" tea house.
As for Zhang Taijiang, the victim in this case, perhaps he was just a "chess piece" used by the murderer to achieve his purpose.
His misfortune is that without knowing it, others found out about his living habits and found the value of using him.
Then, by conducting detailed searches and interviews on Zhang Taijiang's social relationships and life trajectory, we will definitely be able to discover clues about the murderer involved in the case.
Once there are new clues to the case, there is hope for the case to be solved.
It is impossible for anyone to solve even a relatively uncomplicated case without conducting an in-depth investigation and obtaining clues to solve the case.
After thinking of this, the police officer, Mr. Mai, knew that his detective, who was responsible for investigating the poisoning and murder case at the "Ruixiangxuan" teahouse, was passively sabotaging his work.
It has been five days since the incident occurred, but there has been no major progress in the investigation of the case. It cannot but be said that there are man-made reasons involved.
After considering this, the police officer, Mr. Mai, looked at Yong Ming calmly, feeling that in his words just now, it seemed that Mr. Yong was hinting at him for something else.
This case of poisoning and murder was by no means the work of one person. It was accomplished with the cooperation of many people inside and outside.
So what role did his subordinates play in this case?
When Bureau Mai from the police station contacted him, he became even more suspicious after hearing the report on the case at the recent homicide investigation briefing a few days ago.
At that briefing meeting, the detective responsible for investigating the case sitting next to him had expressed his opinions on the case to him as the head of the crime-solving team he led.
As a special case-solving team set up by the bureau for the "Ruixiangxuan" teahouse poisoning and murder case, they unanimously determined that Deng Chengfeng was the biggest suspect in the case. However, they were unable to make a final conclusion about the case due to the lack of direct evidence.
At that time, I had given instructions on this situation, asking them to break the usual way of solving the case, expand the scope of the case investigation, and send people to conduct overt and covert investigations. This influential murder case would definitely be solved.
breakthroughs in aspects.
Now it seems that my instructions have not been seriously implemented by the case-solving team, and the investigation of the case has been at a standstill.
Faced with such an abnormal working situation, Mr. Mai in the police station couldn't help but feel a strong sense of vigilance.
This was originally an inconspicuous homicide case among the many cases that the police station was responsible for handling every day, and there was only one victim in the case, so it was not considered an "important case".
Unexpectedly, in the process of investigating this murder case, which was not an "important case", such a complicated situation would arise. This was something that the police station's Mai Bureau did not expect.
