Chapter 549 The Last Chance

The next morning, at the Criminal Investigation Brigade of the Maping District Branch of the Dongzhou Public Security Bureau.

Detective Nie Chaofan made a cup of strong tea as usual, rubbed his forehead that was swollen from working all night, and leaned on his desk and sighed.

As a man over 40, he could no longer do the job of a criminal policeman.

He never got off work on time. Working all night was the norm. It was normal to get caught in the rain all day. No matter how late he got off work, he had to go to work normally the next day. He also went on business trips frequently, which could be said to be a must every month. At least a week, at most half a month, or even a whole month or even longer away from home.

But these were all his own faults.

Criminal police are said to be busy, especially those in the serious crime squadron. Sometimes they may not be home for several days or nights, or they may go on a long-distance business trip at any time, regardless of day or night.

But no matter how busy they are, there are also free times. Even animals cannot have time to rest.

There were no cases, so he could eat, drink and sleep, and even clock in at work and leave. The leaders generally turned a blind eye.

Cases could not happen every day; colleagues would take turns to help with the work.

But Nie Chaofan was different. He was going crazy wanting to be promoted. First, he had no connections, and second, he had no background. He could only work hard like crazy. When a case came, he went; when an errand came, he took it.

There was always a small hope in his heart, hoping that he could get a position after leaving the Criminal Police Department and being transferred to the grassroots level, even if it was just a deputy director of a police station or a deputy captain of a traffic police squadron, he would be satisfied.

But twenty years later, Nie Chaofan, who had solved countless cases, finally made himself the most experienced criminal policeman in the Criminal Police Department. A criminal policeman is still just a criminal policeman after all.

Seeing that he was too old to bear the fatigue of work, the leader advised him to work as a policeman in the police station to retire, or to work in the traffic police team as a guard. At Nie Chaofan's age, no one would give him a quota.

But Nie Chaofan was unwilling to accept it. He worked hard for 20 years and didn't care about his family. In the end, he could only retire as a small policeman.

His parents accused him of being unfilial, and his children accused him of being irresponsible. Even his wife, who had supported him in the early years, now only regarded him as a roommate. Such sunk costs were too high.

He gritted his teeth and asked the leader to transfer him to the serious crime squadron and give him the last year, hoping to solve a major and serious case with influence and fight for this last way out.

The leader knew his knot, and after sighing, he agreed to it and made a one-year appointment.

But now more than half of the year has passed, and there have been frequent property infringements, online frauds, and organized crimes in the jurisdiction, but there has not been a single eye-catching murder case.

It seemed like the whole team went out to catch a suspect last night.

Nie Chaofan, who had been a criminal policeman for half his life and was transferred to the serious crime squadron at the last minute, felt complicated. He didn't know whether he should be happy about the good public security or annoyed about his destined dull fate.

"Detective Nie! Something big happened!" A young man in plain clothes rushed into the office with a nervous look.

The hand holding the teacup suddenly tightened, and Nie Chaofan's heart palpitated for a moment, but his face remained calm: "Xiao Ma, what happened? You are so flustered, do you still look like a criminal policeman?"

Wipe off the cold sweat on his forehead, Xiao Ma exhaled and said: "Detective Nie, the command center has transferred a police report, saying that a female corpse was found on the side of Dongmu Road. The head and neck are covered with a black vest, and the lower body is naked lying in the ditch."

After a pause, the young policeman Xiao Ma's tone showed a few traces of excitement, or anger: "It's a girl, Detective Nie, this is a rape and murder!"

Here it comes!

The last chance!

Nie Chaofan's scalp instantly went numb, his adrenaline surged, his heart beat like thunder, his eyes widened like cowbells, staring at Xiao Ma who pushed the door in.

"Let's go!"

He said hoarsely, suppressing his voice, and stood up with his hands on the table.

Funeral home, forensic room.

In addition to Ma Ping's own forensic doctor Lao Cao, Dongzhou City Bureau also sent four forensic doctors.

According to the rules of the Municipal Bureau, major murder cases, such as multiple corpse cases, dismemberment cases, and corpse burning cases, can all require the Municipal Bureau forensic doctors to come to support, and sometimes the lower-level units cannot refuse.

"It seems that there are no major cases in the city this year, otherwise they would not rush to do this dirty work." As the owner of the autopsy room, Lao Cao stood by the door and complained idly.

"One more person, more strength."

Nie Chaofan, who was anxious to solve the case, hoped that the four forensic doctors of the Municipal Bureau could really achieve some results, even if they could share some of the credit later. Now, because the victim of Gong Sui rape and murder involved a woman, the media fermented and in just half a day, it has set off an uproar in society.

In addition to attracting the extreme attention of the director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, the city's top official also expressed his concern about the case, and privately indicated that the bureau should inform him of the progress of the case at any time.

So, more than a dozen people were stuffed into the autopsy room at once today.

In addition to the six genuine forensic doctors, there were four police officers in serious cases, a leader of the criminal branch of the Municipal Bureau who came to guide the case, and several officers from the branch office who came to coordinate or do publicity work.

It is said that the city government also sent a liaison officer, but at this time he was accompanied by the branch to eat and drink and stay, so he did not cause trouble. But the pressure from the superiors can be seen.

The old air conditioner in the anatomy room squeaked, but it still couldn't withstand so many people gathering in this small room. If corpses could talk, they might have to shout "crowd someone to death".

Nie Chaofan saw that everyone had been frozen for a long time and had not started working, so he had to urge the only forensic doctor he knew, Lao Cao, to start quickly.

Lao Cao pouted: "With so many leaders here, why should I join in the fun?"

Lao Cao is nearly fifty years old. He has been working as a rookie forensic doctor for thirty years and has been promoted to a senior forensic doctor after just entering criminal investigation. To say what I saw the most, it was probably these messy corpses.

It is no exaggeration to say that I almost vomited.

Besides, given his age, he would retire soon, so he didn't want to bother at all. If it weren't for the fact that there was no independent forensic doctor in the team, he would no longer want to take on the task of autopsy.

Nie Chaofan could only coax: "Old Cao, you are the director of the department, and this is your territory. How dare they move if you don't say anything?"

Lao Cao chuckled: "You've got the credit for me, so you don't want me to lie down for a while?"

Nie Chaofan pointed at the naked female body on the autopsy bed: "Old Cao, how can you bear to ignore the girl in such a miserable state? If you delay it any longer, the suspect will run away! These forensic doctors from the city bureau have delicate skin and tender flesh. Go to the relevant city bureau. I guess you don't have any actual combat experience. If something happens, you will look at me one by one. I will see where your waste is. Lao Cao, you need to take action to deal with this. live!"

"Okay, please don't put a high hat on me, Lao Cao, I can't bear it." Lao Cao, who is nearly fifty years old, rolled up his sleeves and started to put on latex gloves, "But I only care about this little girl. For the sake of face. Hey, I haven’t even started to enjoy life yet, and I’m going to suffer this crime. If I catch someone, I’ll definitely shoot him.”

"You, what's your name? Come quickly and carry the body!"

"You, the one with glasses, I'm talking about you, go and take out the camera from the cabinet, and I'll leave it to you to take pictures!"

Lao Cao stared at his eyes, changed from his previous behavior, and shouted with red eyes: "Work! Work! Get moving! Fuck his grandma!"
