Chapter 775: Chapter 774: Sensationalist Exaggeration_1 Chapter 775: Chapter 774: Sensationalist Exaggeration_1 “Huo Beijiang?” The chief thought for a moment and then realized that the Huo Beijiang Ying Jiuming was talking about was the one who had visited the county’s public security bureau in the past. Before Ying Jiuming was transferred, he often mentioned him. It was said that they had a good relationship and Beijiang was a soldier.
“Chief, this could be a problem!” Ying Jiuming couldn’t help but remind, “Huo Beijiang works in the Northern Military District and is very influential. Now that his mother has been killed , from the Provincial Department down to the county public security bureau, no one is going to have it easy.”
“Really? You’re not just trying to scare me?”
“Would I dare? You’re my former superior.” Ying Jiuming took another puff of his cigarette, the siren of the police car got closer. He estimated that it must be the people from the city bureau.
“Did you call the city bureau here?”
“Yes! We must find the murderer no matter what.” The only thing he was thankful for was that he was here, otherwise this murder case would surely be treated as a suicide.
And a seamless suicide at that.
“Inspector Ying!” A police officer hurried over, “We interviewed everyone in the vicinity, and no one saw any strangers entering the town.”
Ying Jiuming furrowed his brows. There were no fingerprints left on the scene, and no strangers seen entering the town. No leads at all, it seemed the case was at an impasse. The incident had happened, and he didn’t know how to explain it to Huo Beijiang.
But he could definitely catch the murderer before Huo Beijiang arrived.
“Keep searching. If necessary, expand the search to the surrounding villages and towns, and then to the entire county. Don’t miss a single lead, check them all one by one,” he instructed.
The officers turned pale. That was a lot of work. They would never be able to check them all!
Just then, the city bureau’s police cars arrived. More than a dozen cars stopped, and three to four policemen got out of each car. It seemed all the detectives from the city bureau had been dispatched.
Ying Jiuming dropped his half-smoked cigarette on the ground and stomped on it. “Manpower is not a problem.” he said. He had already reported to the city bureau leader and requisitioned all the available manpower.
They were all experienced detectives who knew that the victim in this case was no ordinary person. If things went awry, the consequences would be severe. Without wasting time in discussions, they nodded in acknowledgment and promptly joined the investigation.
The forensic team from the city bureau entered the crime scene directly.
“Inspector Ying! We found a bicycle in the alleyway opposite the Huo’s. By its model, it seems to belong to a student from Qi Li Middle School.”
Ying Jiuming waved his hand to have someone show the way, and they all followed.
The alleyway was dark and narrow at night. As the rural living conditions improved over the years, the one-story houses nearby had all added another story, which made the alley appear even more secluded.
“Inspector Ying, look. Standing here one can clearly see the main entrance to the Huo’s house.”
“Judging by its condition, the bicycle has been well maintained and obviously in regular use. We surmise that the owner of the bicycle could be the only eyewitness to this murder.”
Hearing that there could be an eyewitness, all the officers on the scene were energized.
“Take photos and bring them to me. Go to Qi Li Middle School and question everyone individually. We must find out to whom this bicycle belongs.”
