Chapter 1330 - 1256: Expected Value
Bringing all the dozen or so middle-aged men surnamed Fan from Fan Family Village into the police station did indeed cause some disturbance in the village.
Fortunately, with Wei Shikan’s reminder, the town had informed the village chief in advance and dispatched several village officials to assist and explain. It took the whole day to pacify everyone, mainly to prevent them from collectively going to the police station to wait.
Even so, the county leaders were very concerned. Whether criminal cases are solved is actually not too much of a concern for county-level leaders, but the disruption of stability is something higher-level leaders cannot accept.
Liu Wenkai also tried to deploy criminal police skilled in interrogation from various teams in the criminal investigation squad to simultaneously take statements from the dozens of people, to complete the task quickly and send them back.
In the village, most matters cannot be hidden. Many people live in the city and may not know how many people live next door after ten or eight years, but in the village, it’s inexplicably well-known if the neighbor’s aunt has an affair with someone else’s father-in-law.
The criminal police hoped to gather some information from the relatives of the suspects.
If that doesn’t work, then they would have to meticulously take notes and do the reconciliation, a step that is quite troublesome and also one of the pleasures of many detective novels — distinguishing who is telling the truth and who is lying, or which parts are true and which are false from everyone’s uncertain speech...
Even Liu Jinghui, who was attending a meeting in the provincial capital, made a phone call amidst his busy schedule to ask if he needed to help...
The suspect and his accomplice didn’t give Liu Jinghui that chance.
Jiang Yuan received a call and told him in a tone of regret: "The suspect has confessed and has also disclosed that his father helped in transporting the body. Of course, he didn’t know at the time that his wife wasn’t dead. Moreover, the suspect’s father has also been interrogated and admitted to lending the vehicle and following through the entire process of disposing of the body."
