Chapter 1224 Case closed
When Martina's ex-boyfriend Marco was taken to the Criminal Police Detachment, he was only a little panicked.
He had been in China for several years and knew what China's policies were like. Moreover, this was not his first time in a police station - a few years was not enough for him to understand the difference between a police station and a criminal police detachment.
Meng Chengbiao was responsible for interrogating Marco, and he was accompanied by a grassroots police officer with a TOEFL score of 110.
As expected, Marco, who obviously knew Chinese, quickly began to explain his identity as a pure American and why he did not understand Chinese technical terms.
At this time, the young grassroots police officer next to him began to translate in fluent American English.
Standing outside the interrogation room, Liu Jinghui couldn't help but roll his eyes as he looked inside through the one-way glass: "The Beijing Police Department is really full of talented people. He speaks English so fluently and is a second-level superintendent."
"Graduate students are awarded the title of second-class police inspector. We can't control this." Cui Qishan watched from the side and said, "However, this kind of person can usually go to a popular unit. If he comes to the Criminal Police Detachment, the First and Second Brigades will also fight for him."
"It's quite useful." Liu Jinghui pouted.
"There are few useful people." Cui Qishan is the captain of the Fourth Brigade and has the least experience, so Xiao Si and others who were not wanted by the Seventh Brigade were sent to him. It is normal to say that grapes are sour when you can't eat them.
The two of them just chatted briefly before things started to happen in the interrogation room.
Although foreigners often talk about the right to remain silent, not many suspects can actually do so. If they could, lawyers wouldn't have to warn their clients every time, "Don't say anything before I arrive."
Although Marco had served in the navy and knew some anti-reconnaissance techniques, overall, he was still a young man with American arrogance and naivety. Otherwise, he would not have chosen such an extreme and technically difficult way to express his emotions.
A skilled interrogation expert like Meng Chengbiao only threatened him a few times, and then told him a lie that he would be alive if he confessed, citing the different nationalities. Although Marco didn't quite believe it, he was still tricked into talking a little bit.
When Marco began to describe his love with tears in his eyes and described Martina's death as an accident during sex, Cui Qishan was already laughing happily.
Meng Chengbiao waited until Marco told him how he rode his bike to Avi's apartment at night, how he chose the climbing route, how he knocked on the door to enter Martina's room, and how he left. He then asked Marco to sign before he shouted, "Martina was strangled to death, not sexual asphyxiation!"
Marco naturally didn't want to admit it and kept denying it.
Even though he was not very sensible, he knew that killing someone in China could result in a death penalty.
Meng Chengbiao would not go along with him at this time. He laid out evidence pile by pile, creating a sense of oppression.
He actually had time pressure, but Meng Chengbiao showed it not. Marco didn't know how long he needed to hold on, nor did he know how much time had passed.
This is also a trick used in interrogation. It is the same reason why there is no watch in the casino. The excitement of gambling can easily make people forget the passage of time and think that only a short time has passed, but in fact a long time has passed. The suspect being interrogated feels threatened and painful, and the days are like years, so it is easy for them to exaggerate the speed of time.
The only thing Marco can look forward to is his foreign identity, but it is obvious that as a mere nobody, he will not be "rescued" quickly.
"That's basically it." Liu Jinghui was bored and turned to Jiang Yuan and said, "We know the motive and means. We also know the transportation and route he took. If we check the surveillance, we should be able to find the time of the crime. The rest is to find the tools used to commit the crime, as well as the clothes and shoes he wore at the time... What do you think?"
Jiang Yuan touched the one-way glass with his hand and said, "This thing is pretty good. I used to see it on TV a lot."
Liu Jinghui also touched it with his hand: "It's really good. They can't see us or hear us talking in the interrogation room. We can see them clearly. If a leader comes to listen to the interrogation content, it will be easy to perform."
"Indeed." Jiang Yuan nodded in agreement.
Beside him, Xiao Si quietly poked Cui Qishan.
Cui Qishan turned his head, glared at Xiao Si, and whispered, "It's none of our business!"
Xiao Si rolled his eyes at Cui Qishan and said directly: "Captain Jiang, then help us with another case."
Cui Qishan was stunned, and immediately realized that this really concerned him. Based on his understanding of Jiang Yuan, whenever he came, Jiang Yuan would handle a few more cases before leaving. Although they were all cases of the Zhengguang Bureau, they were not necessarily all cases of the Fourth Brigade.
Cui Qishan quickly followed up, "Captain Jiang, we do have a few interesting cases recently."
"Tell me about it." Jiang Yuan didn't hesitate and asked directly.
Cui Qishan blinked, and a string of cases flashed quickly through his mind. For a moment he was a little hesitant about which one to talk about.
Xiao Si said at this time: "I have been working on a case recently, but there is still no clue. A college girl has disappeared, and now I am not sure where she went..."
"How long has he been missing?" Jiang Yuan asked.
"It was two days when we reported the case. Now it's almost a week." Xiao Si added, "We checked the surveillance video and I asked a familiar expert to take a look. We only found out that she went to climb Jinshan Mountain on her last day. We didn't find her at the ticket office or the entrance of Jinshan Mountain. However, we only reviewed the video once."
Xiao Si inadvertently exposed all the disadvantages of the image detection team with just one sentence.
Although surveillance is good, even with the help of AI, it is still possible to miss something when there are too many people. In addition, due to time factors, for places with large traffic such as ticket offices and scenic spot entrances, it is necessary to check repeatedly to be sure that this person has not passed by. The time and manpower required can be imagined.
As for places like airports and train stations, gait systems and facial recognition are used for surveillance. They are not required to identify all people, but only to find suspects or people about to commit crimes among the people who can be identified. There is no need to give a "yes" or "no" answer, so the pressure is naturally much less.
Jiang Yuan looked at Cui Qishan and Liu Jinghui thoughtfully.
It is not easy to define a missing person case. It is not uncommon for the victim to return after a few days. However, seven days of disappearance is indeed a long time...
Cui Qishan naturally knew about this case. Seeing that Xiao Si had already said this, he said, "The disappearance of this girl does seem to be a case. We also asked her at school. Her study and life at school are relatively normal. Her academic performance is average. She has a good relationship with her roommates. She is also cheerful and outgoing. She likes to participate in various activities. She has also gone hiking on weekends several times..."
Cui Qishan: "The girl's parents are both ordinary people. Her father is an employee of a state-owned enterprise in Shanyuan Province, in a technical position, and earns about 100,000 yuan a year. Her mother sells insurance, and she doesn't always make money every year, and sometimes she's in debt. The previous generation is also there, and they all have similar conditions. From what we know, there are no particularly sharp conflicts."
In fact, most of the cases that can be deliberately pushed forward by the police officers in charge of the case are somewhat particular.
Especially for a criminal police like Xiao Si, no matter what he said, his ability was beyond reproach, and he worked in the criminal police detachment of the Beijing Branch, and he could even be said to be one of the higher level criminal police. Ordinary cases were not easy to solve, but he could basically solve them after handling them for a while.
Now, only seven days have passed since the disappearance case, and he has handed it over to Jiang Yuan. Although it also means striking while the iron is hot, it also shows that there are some unexpected aspects of the case.
Jiang Yuan then looked at Liu Jinghui and said, "Director Liu, can you follow me first? I will tell Political Commissar Huang later."
There are procedures for accepting cases, and cases in Beijing should not be underestimated. The rules must be followed. Liu Jinghui came from a provincial department, was good at reasoning, and was a senior police chief who did not lead troops. He had sufficient armor, so it was suitable for him to explore the bottom first.
