Chapter 43 Collecting Criminal Cases

  Cheng Bin listened to Liu Li's words, and was so angry that he almost fainted. He pointed at Liu Li with his hand, his whole body shaking as he said: "Nonsense! Of course there is one person left who didn't file a complaint against you, because that person's status changed from suspect to victim!"

  Yu Dazhu was originally going to come in, but after you busied yourself for a while, he not only didn't have to come in, but also saved on compensation. He certainly wouldn't complain about you. But if even he complained about you, then as the deputy squadron leader, you'd be finished.

  "Right, right, right. The leader criticized me correctly, I will reflect on it and think it over." Seeing Cheng Bin getting angry and trembling all over, Liu Li didn't bother to argue with him and instead sincerely expressed that he would reflect on his own mistakes.

  "Don't just talk the talk, really reflect on it. In the future, don't lead the team in playing cards and mahjong again. Think about the consequences. You always win and never lose, who would still play with you? If this matter is reported to the director, I reckon the inspection team will come looking for you guys soon."

  In addition, the local police station does not report cases, you can take the initiative to communicate with them, usually more exchanges and emotional communication, don't always think of ways to deceive people, after developing feelings, they will naturally report the criminal cases in their hands.

  There are still three months to go before the year-end review, at that time each squadron will have to show off their achievements, our criminal police team will show off their achievements, and other squadrons such as the public security brigade will not be idle either. This third squadron was established with my strong support, you don't want me to be laughed at by others, do you?

  This time the complaint was inquired by the bureau, Yu Guang's complaint belongs to malicious complaint, the bureau doesn't care about it. However, the complaints from the three witnesses were investigated by the bureau's discipline committee and found to be basically true.

  Considering that you are also for the sake of solving the case, and the witness previously intentionally concealed the facts, almost causing Yu Dazhu to be wrongly detained, so they themselves must also bear some responsibility, therefore the bureau will no longer investigate this matter further.

  Now you write a self-criticism, especially you, it should be written more deeply. Who made this idea come out of you? After finishing writing, go and apologize to the three witnesses, and this matter will pass like this.

  But from now on, I will never allow witnesses to be forced to testify in this way again. If something similar happens again, I won't be able to protect you either. Usually, strengthen the discipline of the team and tidy up internal affairs.

  In the future, when handling cases, remember to bring your ID and wear your uniform, so as not to be complained about for unstandardized law enforcement again. By the way, why do you always borrow other people's uniforms? Didn't the bureau issue one to you? In the future, change into your own uniform, don't always wear others'. Seeing Liu Li's attitude was still okay, Cheng Bin's anger dissipated a lot.

  After coming out from Cheng Bin's place, Liu Li directly returned to the team. At noon, he had lunch in the second-floor cafeteria and then went downstairs to the police station for a stroll. He came to Director Li Shan's office, where Liu Li sat down and chatted with Li Shan for a while, feeling that their relationship had improved significantly. Then, he walked towards Instructor Zhang Shi's office.

  In the afternoon, Liu Li asked Zhang Tao to drive him to Lanyu Town Police Station and Litown Police Station. This was Liu Li's first visit to a local police station for work exchange since he took office as deputy commander.

  Liu Li discussed the recent cases with the leaders of the two police stations and also mentioned the previously withheld criminal cases. Upon hearing this, the leaders of the two police stations thought Liu Li had come to settle old scores, as they had all heard about Yu Guang's case and had some understanding of Liu Li's style.

  When Liu Li mentioned the case that was being detained, the leaders of the two police stations had already made preparations to hand over half of the fine. However, after Liu Li finished speaking, he immediately left and didn't mention anything about splitting the quota or the fine. Seeing Liu Li's carefree departure, the leaders of the two police stations exchanged a bewildered glance with each other.

  Liu Li's last stop was the Dizhen Township Police Station. When he arrived at the station, he felt like he had returned home. After seeing Du Zhiqing, Liu Li felt a deep sense of closeness. Knowing that Liu Li had arrived, Instructor Feng Yong, Deputy Director Tian Hu and Zhang Liang came to meet him one after another.

  Everyone chatted with Du Zhiqing in his office, just as a crowd came to handle business. Du Zhiqing let everyone disperse and waited for the crowd to leave before asking Liu Li's intentions with a smile.

  As for Du Zhiging, Liu Li did not hide anything from him. He told him about the situation of each police station handling criminal cases and detaining people. After listening to Liu Li's words, Du Zhiging comforted him with a few words, saying that such things were unavoidable, after all, it involved fines, and each police station had to strive for more revenue.

  Seeing Liu Li worrying about not receiving any cases for the third team, Du Zhiqing hesitated for a moment before telling Liu Li that a criminal case had actually occurred in Dizhen Township last month, but he hadn't reported it. He asked Liu Li if he would take on the case.

  After hearing Du Zhiqing's words, Liu Li looked at him in surprise: "Isn't that so? Old Director, you also privately detained criminal cases? Just say it straight, how much fine did you get? Considering you took care of me before, let's not split it evenly, just give me one-third."

  "On the one hand, you quickly fell asleep, who told you I was fined?" After scolding for a moment, Du Zhiqing explained: "This criminal case that I seized, not only did I not get a single fine, but I also lost over 10,000 yuan."

  Because this case is a case of stolen cattle, the victims are an elderly couple in their 70s. The old couple has three sons and one daughter, but after the children got married and moved out, the old couple lived alone in their old house.

  The old couple's house was empty and bare, with nothing in it. Their three sons each gave them 50 yuan a month for living expenses. When their daughter came home, she brought some flour and oil for the old couple. The old couple relied on this meager allowance to get by.

  The old man worked hard all his life and built high-brick houses for his three sons, hoping that one of them would be willing to support him in his old age. However, after they got married, none of the sons mentioned letting their parents move in with them.

  In order not to trouble the children, the old couple had no choice but to continue living in their dilapidated old house. As they were no longer capable of working, the couple raised some chickens and ducks, relying on selling eggs to earn a living.

  In addition to these chickens and ducks, the old couple also raised three cows because they had three sons. They planned to give one cow to each son's home after the cows grew up, so that the three sons would not fight over the distribution of the cows.

  However, ten days ago, the old man heard a noise in the yard while he was sleeping. He got up and found that the cow tied to the tree had been untied, and two black shadows were leading the cow away. Seeing this, he immediately knew that someone had come to steal the cow, so he hurriedly shouted loudly.

  Upon hearing the old man's shout, the black shadow dropped the cow in his hand and ran away. As he was leaving, one of the black shadows picked up a brick and threw it at the old man, hitting him right on the head. However, the old man didn't have time to check his injury and hurriedly went out to count the number of cows.

  It wasn't until now that they realized two of the three-headed plowing cows were left, one of which had been stolen by someone. The old man put on his clothes and went out to chase after it, following the cow's hoof prints to the highway behind the village, where there was no trace left. It is likely that the thief loaded the cow onto a vehicle and escaped from here.
