Chapter 52 Inviting the Enemy into the Trap
"Boss, would you like to come in and sit for a while? I'll get you a glass of water."
"No need. Since Xiaomi isn't here, I'll find someone else," Cao Dahua said seriously.
"No, boss!" Wang Aimi's father ran up to Cao Dahua in a few steps, a fawning smile on his face. "Boss, can I have your phone number? When my son settles down and contacts home, I'll have him come back to work for you!"
"What's so good about working in eastern Guangdong? It's far from home, and I've heard it's chaotic. Stepping out of the train station is like passing through the gates of hell. Every month you see dead bodies of unknown origin on the street. My hometown is much better; at least I can save money on temporary residence permits."
"What if he doesn't come back? Wouldn't that waste my time? Maybe I should just give up?" Cao Dahua continued his act.
"He'll definitely come back, he'll definitely come back! If he doesn't, I'll break his legs!"
"Okay! Then write down my phone number?"
"Sigh!" Wang Aimi's father returned home, grabbed a pen and a small phone book, and asked, "Boss, what's your last name?"
"His surname is Cao! His phone number is 139 5321 XXXX." Cao Dahua directly gave Xu Bin's phone number. "Ten days, I'll wait ten days at most. If I don't see him in ten days, then I'll find someone else."
"Don't worry, Boss Cao, you'll definitely see Xiaomi within ten days!"
"Hmm!" Cao Dahua put his hands behind his back, turned around and left.
"Boss, let me see you off!"
"No need, he's such a big boss, does he need you to take him home? Go back." Hou Er waved his hand, stopping Wang Aimi's father in his tracks.
Once out of the alley and sitting on the motorcycle, Cao Dahua grinned. "If he can come back on his own, it'll save us the trouble of going to eastern Guangdong to arrest him, and it'll also save us some money."
"Brother Cao is amazing! This move is called 'luring the enemy into a trap,' right?" Hou Er said with a smile, flattering Cao Dahua.
"Don't worry, if he really sold that gun, you'll definitely get your reward!"
"Well, thanks, Brother Cao."
"Where are you going? We'll take you there," Wu Song asked.
"No need, I'll walk back." Hou Er raised his arms and immediately did two chest-expanding exercises. "To strengthen my body, improve my physical strength, and protect our motherland."
"..." Cao Dahua glanced into the depths of the village, understood, and immediately rolled his eyes at Hou Er, "You kid, do something worthwhile, or you'll end up in my hands again someday."
"Brother Cao, are you kidding me? Your Third Squad is a serious crime squad, how could I fall into your hands? Besides, I've already reformed inside, and I've turned over a new leaf since I came out."
"That would be for the best! Okay, if you're not coming with me, then I won't bother with you anymore. Go back by yourself."
……
The master and apprentice went straight back to the branch office.
Even though a very serious case just happened today, you're still sitting in the office.
Xu Bin was at his workstation.
"Old Xu, I have an important lead!" Cao Dahua immediately reported the situation to Xu Bin to prevent him from revealing anything after receiving the call.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely give you a good performance." After saying that, Xu Bin raised his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose. "This case is finally showing some promise!"
We've been given a deadline to solve the case within a month, or we can forget about any rewards, and our annual bonus will probably be gone too.
I was just worrying about it, and you guys gave me some good news!
Taking a deep breath and then exhaling slowly, Xu Bin looked at Old Ma, the scribe who had taken over the task of investigating Wu Song and Cao Dahua's master-disciple relationship today, starting with the missing gun.
"Arrest Wang Aimi as soon as she returns. I have a feeling she's met the murderer in the Shulin family case!"
"no problem."
"Don't be careless. Although the probability is low, what if this guy is the murderer?" Xu Bin added.
Don't worry!
……
It's 10:30 p.m.
Wu Song closed the forensic medicine book he had borrowed from the branch office's reading room and nodded with satisfaction. "I've learned a lot! It's just that I feel like I won't be able to use some of it."
When they arrive at the scene, there are professional forensic doctors present, and it's impossible for someone as self-taught as me to get involved.
I've been studying for months, but I've never had a chance to use my skills!
"It's always good to have more skills; you never know when you might need them!" Cao Dahua patted Wu Song on the shoulder. "Learn as much as you can."
"Wu Song, what book are you planning to read next?" Lin Wenshu looked up, adjusted his glasses, and asked.
"What? You want to recommend it?" Ma Dazhi rolled his eyes at his apprentice. "Don't recommend it. If you let Wu Song read your detective novels, you're just misleading him."
"I'm recommending serious books," Lin Wenshu said. "You won't need forensic medicine, and you won't need knowledge about trace evidence examination either. You can't just steal the jobs of the technical investigation guys, can you? I think you can look at books on criminal psychology or micro-expressions."
The latter lets you tell if a suspect is lying, but the former is even more powerful; experts in criminal psychology can deduce what kind of person the killer is based on the crime scene.
"Then tell me, what kind of person is the murderer in today's Shulin Family case?" Ma Dazhi asked in return.
"This is used to deduce the killer in a series of murders. Besides, I said it's something only an expert could deduce, but I'm not an expert."
"I think you could study criminal psychology," Cao Dahua nudged Wu Song with his elbow. "It's much more useful than studying forensic medicine or anything like that."
"Hmm, I'll find a book on this topic for my next book."
"Captain Cao, the deceased's son, Gao Yajun, has returned and is now in the autopsy room."
"Let's go! Let's meet them."
The master and apprentice waited so late at the team's office just to wait for him. Upon hearing this, they immediately got up and went to the dissection room.
Standing at the entrance to the forensic autopsy room was a well-dressed woman in her thirties, wearing a gold necklace.
"Hello, what is your relationship with the deceased?"
"I'm their daughter-in-law! Officer, you must help my parents-in-law get revenge!" The other person immediately grabbed Cao Dahua's arm, his face filled with deep worry.
"Revenge?" Wu Song frowned. "Do you know who killed your in-laws?"
"I know!"
"Who?" Wu Song and Cao Dahua asked in unison.
"I can't talk about this." The deceased's daughter-in-law pushed open the door to the autopsy room. "Yajun, the officer in charge of this case is here. He's asking if we know who Mom and Dad had a grudge against!"
Gao Yajun, who was also wearing a gold chain, wiped his eyes upon hearing this and walked out of the dissection room. "My fourth uncle, because he was responsible for taking care of my grandparents and often gambled away money, caused conflicts between my parents and them. He once said that he would kill my parents. I just didn't expect that he would actually do something so ruthless."
Gao Yajun gritted his teeth. "My dad is his older brother!"
