Diary of a Criminal Investigator
Chapter 931: Community Water Delivery Worker
Construction Road Police Station.
When Lu Chuan arrived, the police station was in the middle of a meeting.
"Recently, the authorities have deployed a campaign to crack down on organized crime and eliminate evil. This will be our main task for the upcoming period."
The police station chief, Liang Xiaojun, was conveying the directives from the higher-level meeting.
Suddenly, the meeting room door was opened.
Liang Xiaojun looked up, about to reprimand: "You..."
But he didn’t finish his words: "You, you... Captain Lu... Why are you here?"
When Liang Xiaojun saw it was Lu Chuan, he quickly paused the meeting.
"You all continue, I’ll accompany Captain Lu for a moment."
Of course, Liang Xiaojun was familiar with Lu Chuan. Construction Road Police Station also belongs to the High-tech Zone Branch Bureau, and he had seen Lu Chuan many times during meetings.
Of course, Liang Xiaojun was just a police station chief and couldn’t compare in status to Lu Chuan, the captain of the Criminal Investigation Team.
In the office, Lu Chuan didn’t stand on ceremony but directly inquired: "Director Liang, I’m here to know about the case from half a year ago, the Third Middle School jumping incident."
Third Middle School jumping case?
When Liang Xiaojun heard it, his expression changed immediately.
"Captain Lu... this matter... how did you find out?"
Seeing the other party’s reaction, Lu Chuan knew that he was aware of it.
"Was an investigation filed at the time?"
Liang Xiaojun didn’t answer immediately but thought for a moment: "The specific situation was half a year ago, I don’t remember very clearly, but it seemed that a case wasn’t filed because of insufficient evidence. I need to ask the officers who handled the case back then."
Not aware?
Lu Chuan surely wouldn’t believe that.
According to normal procedures, Qin Ruirui’s matter should have led to a case investigation, but the fact that it wasn’t suggests something’s off.
"Director Liang, do you know what the biggest issue facing our High-tech Zone Branch is recently?"
Of course, Liang Xiaojun knew this.
He not only knew but knew very well because Zhang Haibin was a distant cousin of his.
The whole family of Zhang Haibin was killed; it was a massacre case.
"I know, it’s the case of Zhang Haibin’s family being murdered..."
Hm?
Liang Xiaojun was suddenly taken aback.
He was well aware of these cases and knew the High-tech Zone Branch was busy with this case, especially Lu Chuan’s Criminal Investigation Team, who probably hadn’t slept for a couple of days, focusing entirely on this investigation.
But Lu Chuan, who was supposed to be busy with this massacre case, suddenly appeared in his station. What’s the matter?
Adding on to the case of the girl jumping from a building six months ago, Liang Xiaojun suddenly thought of something.
"Captain Lu... you coming here, is it because the girl who jumped six months ago... is related to my cousin... and the murder of Zhang Haibin’s family?"
Cousin?
Lu Chuan immediately understood.
"You mean... Zhang Haibin is your cousin?"
Liang Xiaojun nodded awkwardly: "A distant cousin..."
Lu Chuan frowned: "Director Liang, you should be aware of the current state of Zhang Haibin’s family murder case."
"Tell me about the case from six months ago, why wasn’t it filed?"
"This matter..."
Liang Xiaojun knew this couldn’t be kept hidden anymore.
"Captain Lu, back then the situation was like this..."
As it turned out, Qin Ruirui’s father did report to Construction Road Police Station, but because Zhang Haibin had a word with Liang Xiaojun, the case wasn’t filed then.
"Of course, the main issue was indeed insufficient evidence at that time. They only provided a short video, but we couldn’t directly prove that the girl’s jumping had anything to do with Zhang Tao."
No relation?
Lu Chuan frowned: "Director Liang, does telling me this serve any purpose now? How many times did Qin Ruirui’s father come? What really happened back then?"
What really happened...
Liang Xiaojun of course knew what happened. Because of Zhang Haibin’s word, he took the lead and didn’t file the case back then.
Moreover, back then Zhang Haibin wanted to settle it privately and had offered 100,000 yuan, but the other side refused.
Qin Ruirui’s father visited the police station multiple times, and even went to the school several times, but due to Zhang Haibin’s influence, the matter quietly passed.
Later, Qin Ruirui’s father stopped coming. Liang Xiaojun thought the matter was over, but he didn’t expect it to be connected to Zhang Haibin’s family murder.
"Captain Lu, the murder of Zhang Haibin’s family... related to this matter..."
Lu Chuan shook his head.
This matter, initially just aroused Lu Chuan’s suspicions and Sun Biao also suspected that Qin Ruirui’s father might be a suspect.
But now, it was almost certain.
Because as Lu Chuan entered the police station, Wang Zhaokai found information on Qin Ruirui’s father.
The man had been working as a water delivery person in three neighborhoods near Zhang Haibin’s house since three months ago.
He still delivers water as of now.
Moreover, Zhang Haibin’s family used water delivered by him.
Currently, Wang Zhaokai had already sent people to detain him.
Lu Chuan came to the station wanting to understand what really happened back then.
From the motive perspective, his daughter was harassed by Zhang Tao and jumped in distress; after seeking help from the school and being ignored, then the police station not filing a case.
What can a migrant worker do?
Half an hour later, Lu Chuan met Qin Ruirui’s father, Qin Wushuang, in the Criminal Investigation Team’s interrogation room.
Qin Wushuang, a good name.
However, Qin Wushuang didn’t live up to such a good name.
On the interrogation chair, Qin Wushuang’s face was worn, appearing to be over fifty, but in fact, he was not yet forty.
Lu Chuan personally conducted the interrogation.
"Qin Wushuang, where were you on the night three days ago?"
Qin Wushuang glanced at Lu Chuan, his voice calm: "At home, sleeping."
Sleeping?
Lu Chuan knew the other party wouldn’t confess so easily, so he came to interrogate personally.
"Qin Wushuang, let’s not talk about the case now, let’s discuss... Qin Ruirui."
Upon hearing his daughter’s name, there was a flicker in Qin Wushuang’s eyes, but he still remained silent.
Lu Chuan continued: "We have investigated the events from six months ago thoroughly. Your daughter was harassed by Zhang Tao and jumped from the school bathroom in distress, resulting in her current paralysis."
"Harassment?"
Qin Wushuang suddenly got agitated: "Officer! That little bastard attempted rape!"
"And you police just brushed it off as harassment?"
"Hahaha, but heaven has eyes. I heard their entire family got killed, they deserved it!"
"Deserved it?"
Lu Chuan suddenly said: "Zhang Tao deserved it, Zhang Haibin deserved it, but did their children also deserve it?"
"While killing, when you attempted rape on Zhang Mei, did it never occur to you that you were being a beast as well?"
Qin Wushuang’s eyes dodged: "I... I don’t know what you’re talking about. Their family being killed, what’s it got to do with me?"
