CHAPTER 34: CHAPTER 34: JIANG 3’S RESURGENCE CASE (PLEASE BOOKMARK AND VOTE FOR MONTHLY TICKETS)

Luo Fei felt a surge of excitement when he heard Wucheng announce his name, as receiving a personal third-class merit was a great encouragement for him.

Honestly speaking, having lived two lifetimes, Luo Fei had never received any honors worth mentioning. Although he had been awarded once before, it didn’t compare to this personal third-class merit.

As for his achievements before crossing over, he had nothing noteworthy to mention.

Luo Fei quickly went on stage.

Wucheng handed Luo Fei the certificate and medal, then looked at the people below and said, "In the investigation of the Su Xiao case on July 18 and the Tang Youquan case on August 12, Comrade Luo Fei’s performance was outstanding; it can even be said that without his excellent performance, these two murder cases would not have been solved so quickly."

"Although Comrade Luo Fei is a new officer, the excellence he demonstrated in solving these two cases is undeniable. The Captain of the Criminal Police, Zhao Donglai, and even the Captain of the Anti-Drug Team, Wang Qianqian, have given him high praise. I hope all our comrades can learn well from Comrade Luo Fei, and I also hope our team will have more outstanding officers like him."

As soon as Wucheng finished speaking, applause erupted from the audience.

Luo Fei was also very excited; he first saluted Wucheng, then saluted his colleagues in the audience.

Wucheng patted Luo Fei on the shoulder and encouraged him, "Keep working hard."

"Yes, I won’t let the leadership’s concern be in vain."

After Luo Fei, it was Yang Mei’s turn, but Yang Mei received a personal commendation.

When the commendation meeting concluded, Luo Fei and the others left the Criminal Police Team, and it was already eleven in the morning.

Luo Fei didn’t return to the police station immediately with his colleagues; he wanted to withdraw the bonus he just received for the personal third-class merit.

Luo Fei was the only one from the police station who received a commendation this time, so he went alone to withdraw the money.

When Luo Fei returned to the police station after withdrawing the money, Zhou Weimin called Luo Fei into the office and gave him three thousand yuan.

Now Luo Fei had a total of six thousand yuan in cash.

The police station officially closed at five.

To celebrate receiving the personal third-class merit, Luo Fei specifically went to the market and bought a lot of food, including a free-range chicken, oysters, and lobsters, spending over four hundred yuan in total. Considering Luo Fei’s salary, it was a bit extravagant, but it was worth it.

When Luo Fei returned home, Wu Yan was initially unhappy to see Luo Fei buying so many things, but she became happy as soon as Luo Fei mentioned he earned a third-class merit.

Luo Hao and Luo Xiaoxiao were thrilled to see all the delicious food that Luo Fei had bought.

Wu Yan had originally thought of inviting their uncle and second aunt, but Luo Fei called Wu Yan aside and told her that he had actually solved Wu Yu’s case, so he didn’t want to invite their uncle and others, as it would only remind them of Wu Yu.

Hearing this, Wu Yan fell silent, as she hadn’t expected that Luo Fei was the one who cracked Wu Yu’s case. Of course, given the nature of Wu Yu’s crime, Wu Yan wouldn’t foolishly say that Luo Fei shouldn’t have arrested Wu Yu.

Although they didn’t invite their uncle and second aunt, the family had a very happy dinner overall.

Luo Fei gave five thousand yuan to Wu Yan, asking her to save it for the rent later.

Wu Yan worked in the school cafeteria, and her employment was temporary, meaning she was paid when there was work but not when there wasn’t, so it wasn’t very stable.

A week had passed since the commendation meeting.

On Wednesday, the sky was gloomy and overcast, with clouds hanging low, making it feel oppressive.

At noon, Luo Fei and the others were eating in the cafeteria. The An Yuan Province news channel was broadcasting news about an extremely heinous murder case that occurred yesterday in Daxing Town, Guangyuan County.

In Daxing Town, a 35-year-old villager named Zhao You, his 29-year-old wife Liu Yan, and their three-year-old daughter Zhao Ya were killed and their bodies discarded alongside the road during a post-dinner walk on the road surrounding the town, after which villagers passing by discovered the bodies and reported the incident.

The local police officers and the Guangyuan County Criminal Police Team immediately arrived at the scene to conduct investigations and autopsies.

It was confirmed that Zhao You and his wife Liu Yan died from excessive bleeding after being stabbed by the perpetrator, while their three-year-old daughter was strangled to death.

Subsequently, the Guangyuan County detectives conducted inquiries among the Daxing Town villagers, some of whom described seeing a bald stranger in his middle age on the day of the incident. Based on the villagers’ descriptions, the person resembled Jiang Sanqiang, a fugitive on the Ministry of Public Security’s most-wanted list.

"Has Jiang Sanqiang reemerged to commit crimes after disappearing for so long?" Liu Haiquan couldn’t help but gasp as he watched the news on TV.

Zhang Haiyang frowned and said, "This guy is a complete lunatic now. He can kill anyone at will, yet he’s maddeningly rational. He seems to kill randomly, but he doesn’t, always choosing the right time and place, and he escapes the scene safely right after the murder. Such killers are the hardest to deal with."

As everyone was discussing, in the work group chat, group leader Zhou Weimin tagged everyone, instructing them to finish their meals quickly and gather in the conference room at twelve-thirty.

Luo Fei thought that Zhou Weimin’s urgency to hold a meeting was likely due to Jiang Sanqiang.

At twelve-thirty, everyone in the police station assembled in the conference room.

While everyone was discussing why Zhou Weimin was rushing them to a meeting, Zhou Weimin entered with a heavy and serious expression, one that hadn’t been seen in a while.

"Has everyone seen the latest news from An Yuan Province about Jiang Sanqiang that was published at noon today?" Zhou Weimin asked the crowd below.

The police officers below nodded in response.

Zhou Weimin continued, "Just now, the Guangyuan County Criminal Police have confirmed that the murderer of the Zhao You family triple murder in Daxing Town is indeed Jiang Sanqiang, who is currently wanted nationwide by the Ministry of Public Security."

"The provincial public security department immediately issued an order to capture Jiang Sanqiang. The first order is for the four districts and counties surrounding Guangyuan County—Ningjiang County, Dayan County, Hucheng County, and Dongping County—to rapidly dispatch officers and arrive in Guangyuan County within three hours to assist local police in capturing Jiang Sanqiang, ensuring his arrest."

"Second, during the capture of Jiang Sanqiang in Guangyuan County, the four districts and counties bordering Guangyuan County—Ningjiang County, Dayan County, Hucheng County, and Dongping County—must set up roadblocks at all entry and exit routes, conducting comprehensive searches on all vehicles and suspicious individuals entering or exiting the county, to prevent any chance of Jiang Sanqiang escaping."

"These are the orders just received from the provincial public security department. Upon receiving the orders, the Criminal Police Team has immediately sent elite personnel to Guangyuan County to capture Jiang Sanqiang. Director Wu has instructed several police stations to quickly set up roadblocks in their jurisdictions, searching all vehicles and suspicious individuals entering and exiting. Now, I will assign tasks."
