Chapter 66

New book in pink seeks support, collection, and recommendations! This week, I've been promoting with underpants, but the effect hasn't been great, not really helping with collections and recommendations. So it all depends on everyone's support. I sincerely ask everyone to give me a few more recommendations, so I have a chance to show up on the charts. I bow in gratitude!

"Right now, we have a few cases that are wrapping up, but those are being handled by the others. You two should follow me first to get familiar with the work."

Wei Zhengming still placed a lot of importance on Li Xiangdong. No matter what, this kid had quickly achieved a first-class merit after a third-class merit, which made him a promising seedling worth cultivating, especially since he was personally handed over by Director Jing.

Li Xiangdong and An Jiaoning nodded. Being able to follow the captain showed that he valued them, and there was nothing wrong with learning more from the captain.

For the whole morning, there wasn't much real work. The two mainly focused on getting familiar with the environment and tidying up their desks.

Lunch was in the police station's canteen, which was really quite good. It was open 24 hours a day, and the quality of the food was excellent. The leadership of the police station placed great importance on this, as the police profession is quite special, so the logistics must be well-supported.

"I never thought you would come to the Major Case Team."

After all, they were classmates, so during lunch, the two new rookies naturally sat together. Li Xiangdong looked up and said to An Jiaoning.

"Hehe, why can't I come to the Major Case Team? What? Do you have gender discrimination!"

An Jiaoning's response was quite sharp, and Li Xiangdong quickly surrendered.

"By the way, where's Hu Ying? You two were always inseparable, like scales and weights. You came to the Major Case Team, where did she go?"

Li Xiangdong asked casually.

"She went to the Traffic Patrol Brigade."

"Ah? To there! I heard it's very tough there. New recruits have to patrol the streets for at least two years."

Hu Ying and An Jiaoning's choices really surprised Li Xiangdong. He wasn't particularly familiar with them during school, but he knew their family backgrounds were quite extraordinary.

He originally thought that even if they joined the police force, they would definitely go into logistics, household registration management, or the immigration bureau. He never thought these two would be assigned to the front lines.

"Right! She's currently on duty at the Jinsong Road intersection."

As she spoke, An Jiaoning's phone rang. It was a voice message from Hu Ying, complaining about how tiring it was to stand all morning.

An Jiaoning smiled and shook her phone at Li Xiangdong, who also smiled and nodded.

"Eat quickly, finish up and get back to the office, we have a task."

Just as the two were slowly enjoying their lunch, a gust of wind blew past. They looked up to see their teammate Old Zhang, who was carrying his tray to the return area. After placing the tray, he turned and went back to the office building.

Looking up again, they saw several colleagues also getting up from various corners of the canteen and heading back.

Li Xiangdong and An Jiaoning no longer had the heart to eat slowly. Li Xiangdong quickly finished his meal in a few bites, while An Jiaoning could only eat half and leave the rest.

The two hurried back to the office, where Captain Wei had been waiting for them for a long time, and the other team members had already set out.

"You two, follow me."

Wei Zhengming didn't waste any words and turned to leave. The two could only follow him, puzzled.

They left the building and got into Wei Zhengming's Jeep. Wei Zhengming took out the police lights from under the seat, attached them to the roof, and sped out of the police station compound.

On the way, Wei Zhengming briefed them: "This afternoon, someone reported an incident in Luli Village in the western suburbs. The local police station sent people to check, and it turned out that the Lu family had suffered a mass murder. All four family members were killed, except for the youngest son, who was playing at his uncle's house and stayed there, thus escaping the tragedy."

Wei Zhengming drove while explaining the case, and Li Xiangdong and An Jiaoning listened attentively. This was their first case after joining the team, and it was a major one.

The requirement for solving murder cases was very strict, even to the point of demanding that all murder cases be solved. A single murder case was already a major case, let alone a mass murder of a family of four!

Luli Village was located at the foot of Xifeng Mountain in the western suburbs of Huanghai City. Originally, it was a village mainly engaged in agriculture, but with the expansion of Huanghai City in recent years, it had become a new urban-rural fringe area.

Unlike the clean and tidy urban-rural fringe area of Li Xiangdong's hometown, Longtou Village, this area was characterized by dirt, disorder, and poor conditions.

It was home to a large number of migrant workers and recent college graduates, with a high population flow and poor public security. There were hundreds of major and minor cases each year, and at least a dozen involving murder.

However, such a mass murder case was rare, not just in Luli Village but in Huanghai City as a whole. Any such case would make national news.

When Wei Zhengming drove them to the scene, the other team members had already arrived and were collecting evidence inside.

As soon as Wei Zhengming got out of the car, he was called away by the local police station leadership to discuss the case. Clearly, with such a major case, the local police station leadership was in a bind and could only hope that the Major Case Team would solve it quickly to reduce their pressure.

Wei Zhengming wouldn't be back for a while, and he hadn't given Li Xiangdong and An Jiaoning any specific instructions. The two began to walk around the perimeter of the victim's yard.

From the outside, it seemed that the victim's family was well-off. They had a standalone house near the entrance to the village, close to the expressway, with a yard covering about 500 square meters.

The high red brick walls had broken glass embedded in the cement top for security. What surprised Li Xiangdong the most was that there were surveillance cameras at several corners of the yard.

"This Lu family doesn't seem so simple!"

Li Xiangdong muttered, and An Jiaoning nodded in agreement.

For a family to have such a strong security awareness, with high walls and cameras, it was far from what a typical farming family would do.

At the gate, the two put on shoe covers and entered the yard. The yard was paved with smooth cement, and on the right side was a garage containing an Audi and a Porsche Cayenne, indicating that the family's economic status was quite high.

Could it be a robbery-murder!?
