Diary of a Criminal Investigator

At this moment, in the Crime Scene Investigation office.

Liu Guodong, Lu Chuan, and others have packed up and are ready to go home and rest.

After nearly a week in the team, there’s finally a major breakthrough in the case today.

"So Wang Fugui was just... directly arrested?"

Yang Sen was still a bit incredulous; the legendary entrepreneur from back in the day was arrested just like that.

"What’s so strange about it? The video Lu Chuan and the others found is direct evidence. If Wang Fugui and his people can’t explain it, they should prepare to head inside and operate a sewing machine."

Old Bai snorted twice and continued, "Over the years, how many big shots in Haizhou City have been taken down? Which one of them wasn’t influential in their time? Didn’t they all get arrested just like that?"

"Now, it depends on whether there are more cases or secrets to uncover from the Songbei Mining Group, and whether there will be a breakthrough during the interrogation of Wang Fugui and Song Junwu."

"I think there definitely will be. Wang Fugui and Song Junwu have been here for nearly a week, and I feel it’s about time. Not many can hold out that long."

"These are not for us to handle. This time, our Crime Scene Investigation team has truly made a name for itself; solving the case means we take the top credit!"

Old Bai’s sentiment was accurate; the critical video evidence left by Wang Mingshan was discovered by them.

It could be said that this video completely changed the course of the case.

"Tomorrow’s the weekend. Can we take a break?"

"Pretty much, now it’s just interrogations left. We’ve basically completed all our work here."

The work of the Crime Scene Investigation team shouldn’t be described as completed, but rather as overachieving.

The next day, Saturday, Liu Guodong sent a message in the group, stating that the Crime Scene Investigation office would be closed today and tomorrow for rest.

The action team wasn’t as lucky; these two days were their busiest. Action Group One and Two moved separately to verify the leads provided by Song Junwu.

The information from Song Junwu was even more than Qin Yong had anticipated.

First, they aimed to capture the tow truck driver, Old Mo.

According to Song Junwu, Old Mo was hidden by them within a subsidiary’s abandoned mine of the Songbei Mining Group.

The abandoned mine has a history of over 30 years, with complex and numerous passageways, and no map. If alerted, finding someone hiding in there would be extremely difficult.

Because it was Song Junwu himself who arranged for Old Mo to hide, tricking Old Mo out for capture by contacting him would be more secure.

"Doesn’t he know you’ve been arrested?"

"Definitely not, because my communication with Old Mo was one-on-one. Only the people inside the group know about my and Wang Fugui’s arrests. They don’t know where Old Mo is hiding, so they have no way to inform Old Mo. They also can’t contact him."

"As long as Wang Fugui hasn’t contacted them during this time, there should be no issue."

Qin Yong shook his head. Wang Fugui was under strict surveillance, and during the interrogation, he remained silent. At the same time, external pressure on Qin Yong increased. But trying anything shady within the Criminal Investigation Team was impossible.

Currently, everyone who has tried to intercede in Wang Fugui’s case has been documented by Qin Yong.

Some of these intercessors may be misled, but most have issues. Since the case has reached this stage and Song Junwu has confessed so much, no one will escape.

Leaving the mine, Old Mo looked at the long-lost sunlight with a goofy smile.

He thought everything was over, as if things would go peacefully as before. He would return to the No. 94 Market to run his favorite fish stall again.

Over the years, Old Mo’s life had been simple. He hadn’t bought a house or a car and continued to do the work he did back then.

For him, killing people and killing fish... there was not much difference.

At night, he’d go home and cook a fish for his elderly mother, who loved the fish her son prepared.

However, Old Mo’s mother didn’t know how many families could no longer expect their son or child’s father because of her son.

Ambushed outside the mine, Zhang Hui and others did not act as soon as Old Mo left the entrance. Instead, they waited for him to walk dozens of meters before covering the back and blocking the entrance, leaving Old Mo with no escape.

"Stop! Police! Don’t move!"

Old Mo looked at the approaching detectives in horror... How could this be?

Facing the arrest by more than a dozen police officers, even if Old Mo was more vicious, he could only be captured without resistance.

"Do you know why you are being arrested?"

"Speak, what’s your name?"

"Chen Mo."

Old Mo’s real name was Chen Mo.

A name that even Old Mo himself had almost forgotten.

He didn’t know when people around started calling him Old Mo.

"Has Song Junwu been arrested?"

Old Mo knew that if Song Junwu hadn’t been arrested, he wouldn’t have received this call.

If something happened to Song Junwu, could Wang Fugui still remain unscathed?

"Still worried about whether Song Junwu has been caught? You should worry about your own problems first."

"Take him away!"

An hour later, in the third interrogation room of the Criminal Investigation Team.

Old Mo had been handcuffed and shackled, sitting in the interrogation chair, with Zhang Hui conducting the interrogation himself.

"Five years ago, did you kill the policeman Wang Mingshan?"

"Which one are you talking about? Five years ago, I killed two police officers, both buried under the Lion Mountain Bridge."

To everyone’s surprise, Old Mo openly admitted to his murders without any concealment.

"I don’t ask names when I kill, just kill. Wang Fugui tells me who to kill, and I do it."

"Under the Lion Mountain Bridge, I’ve killed eight people in total."

"Apart from under the Lion Mountain Bridge, there are four people buried in the foundation of the Songxiang County District."

"In the corridor of No. 98 Mine, where I just hid, there are remains of three more people."

Zhang Hui recorded while feeling shocked.

Because the police had only discovered the eight skeletons under the Lion Mountain Bridge, the cases Old Mo mentioned about the Songxiang County District and No. 98 Mine were ones the police hadn’t known about.

Afterwards, Old Mo confessed to all his crimes in detail.

"Did Song Junwu know about all these crimes?"

Old Mo shook his head, "He knew about the Lion Mountain Bridge, but not about the bodies elsewhere."

"The deaths under the Lion Mountain Bridge were ordered by Wang Fugui, either through Song Junwu or directly instructed by him to me."

"For instance, the two police officers from five years ago were ordered by Wang Fugui through Song Junwu and then by Song Junwu instructing me to do it."

"But there were also two people, a man and a woman, who were directly ordered by Song Junwu, and Wang Fugui seemed unaware of that."

"The people in Songxiang County District and No. 98 Mine were directly instructed by Wang Fugui, with no one else knowing."

"Do you know about the two mining accidents at Songbei Mining Group?"

"I don’t know about that. I just kill people."
