9 AM.
Including Xu Chen and Niu Bin, the Chengnan Branch sent a total of eight people to the Linjiang County Bureau in three police cars.
Linjiang Immortal was also a county under the jurisdiction of Jiang Prefecture.
Xijiang County was west of Jiangzhou, while Linjiang County was southeast of Jiangzhou.
More than an hour later, Xu Chen and the others arrived at the Linjiang County Police Station.
Because Xu Chen represented the municipal bureau.
Linjiang County Bureau Chief Hong Jingyu and Deputy Bureau Chief Zhao Wending welcomed Xu Chen's arrival on behalf of Linjiang County Bureau.
Hong Jingyu and Zhao Wending had never seen Xu Chen before.
However, Xu Chen's reputation had been too resounding these few days.
The news of solving three cases in three days had already spread throughout the police system of Jiangzhou City.
After the welcome and greetings, Xu Chen came to the conference room of the Linjiang County Criminal Investigation Unit.
The captain of the Linjiang County Criminal Investigation Unit was called Wang Shuai.
He was about forty years old, with big ears, a square face, and wide lips.
"Section Chief Xu, what should we do next?" he asked Xu Chen.”
Although the case happened in the southern district, the buyer was from Linjiang County.
If the case was solved, the Linjiang County Bureau would also be credited.
Other than the people from the Chengnan Branch, the rest of the people in the meeting room were all members of the Linjiang County Criminal Investigation Team.
They were all sizing up Xu Chen curiously.
As the Linjiang County Bureau was too remote, compared to Hong Jingyu and the other leaders of the county bureau.
They were even more unfamiliar with Xu Chen. The rumors they heard were second-hand and would be more or less distorted.
Xu Chen had already made ample preparations before he came.
He commanded in an orderly manner,
"These fifty-one people are distributed in Changhe Village, Qijiang Town, and Tongyuan Town.”
"Everyone, split into three groups. Let the police station cooperate and investigate these three towns separately. Investigate and interrogate the families of the deceased.”
"Inform me immediately once you know the seller's information.”
"Alright, Section Chief Xu." Wang Shuai nodded quickly.”
After the order was given, the criminal investigation team members of the two county offices began to move.
Xu Chen and Niu Bin were in charge of the county bureau.
Once the list was locked, it was not difficult to find a buyer.
The next step was the difficult part.
The first was, of course, to find and arrest the seller, who was the corpse thief.
The second was even more difficult.
For the families of the victims in Chengnan District, they were more concerned about whether they could return the bodies of their families.
As for the buyers in Linjiang County.
This meant that they had to dig up the graves of their loved ones and return the corpses they had bought.
This matter might encounter a lot of resistance.
After the three groups split up, the investigation of the case went smoothly.
At noon, they found a buyer when they found the third shop in Qijiang Town.
The pressure brought by the police was still very strong.
The buyer quickly revealed the whole story and told the seller that he was from Qijiang Town.
Xu Chen immediately ordered after receiving the news.
"Arrest the seller immediately. They must have accomplices.”
"Arrest the buyer and bring him back to Linjiang County Bureau.”
"The rest of you continue to investigate."
......
At two o'clock in the afternoon, a corpse thief was caught and brought back to Linjiang County Bureau.
The facts were clear and the evidence was conclusive. The corpse thief confessed everything, including his two accomplices and the buyer.
His two accomplices were from Taoxi Town and Xishui Town respectively.
The task of capturing these two people was handed over to the Chengnan Branch.
Before four o'clock in the afternoon, the other two corpse thieves were caught at home and brought back to the Chengnan Branch.
At around five in the afternoon, the eight buyers were found and brought back to the Linjiang County Bureau.
Niu Bin said excitedly,"Section Chief Xu is indeed extraordinary. He solved the corpse theft case in less than a day."”
The criminal investigation team members of the Chengnan Branch also looked at Xu Chen with admiration.
Because of this case, they had been busy investigating in the fields for a long time, but they had no results.
Until Xu Chen arrived.
However, there was no joy or excitement on Xu Chen's face.
To the police, the case was considered solved once the corpse thief was arrested.
What was left was to deal with the aftermath.
However, for Xu Chen, only by burying the stolen body in peace could he complete his mission.
"Continue interrogating the buyer and ask him to return the body. If the buyer has a good attitude, you can deal with him lightly.”
......
At eleven o'clock in the evening, Xu Chen returned home exhausted.
After interrogation by the police, the eight buyers agreed to return the bodies under pressure.
Compared to whether the deceased was happy underground, they were obviously more concerned about whether they would go to jail and how long they could stay in jail.
The next morning, Xu Chen came to Jiangzhou City's Civil Affairs Bureau to attend a meeting.
The person presiding over the meeting was a city leader in charge of civil affairs in Jiangzhou City.
Xu Chen represented the Jiangzhou Municipal Bureau in the meeting.
Xing Wuzhong represented Chengnan Branch, and Hong Jingyu represented Linjiang County.
Other people attending the meeting were the leaders of the Civil Affairs Department, Linjiang County, and Chengnan District.
The leaders of Taoxi Town, Xishui Town, Longqi Town, Changhe Town, Qijiang Town, and Tongyuan Town.
As well as the families of the eight victims.
There were also two reporters present.
The police had limited authority, and the Criminal Investigation Department was only responsible for solving cases.
This case involved two counties, with both living and dead people.
In the end, the corpse had to be buried back in the original grave.
They had to work together across departments.
This was supposed to be a coordination meeting for the aftermath of the corpse theft case.
However, Xu Chen felt that it was a commendation ceremony.
The city leaders first expressed their gratitude for the investigation of the case.
Thank you, Jiangzhou City Bureau, Chengnan Branch, and Linjiang County Bureau for their hard work and cooperation.
He had finally solved these bizarre corpse theft cases.
Next, it was Xu Chen's turn to speak on behalf of the municipal bureau.
There was always a draft for this kind of meeting, and it only needed a little editing.
On behalf of the municipal bureau, Xu Chen thanked the two branches for their cooperation.
It was the police's duty to solve the case and also an explanation to the victims.
In the end, Xu Chen also expressed his expectations. He hoped that the eight stolen bodies would be buried in peace, so that the dead could rest in peace and the living could be at ease.
Xu Chen's words were flawless. After he finished speaking, he sat back in his chair and let Xing Wuzhong speak.
However, in the meeting room, everyone's surprised and curious gazes did not shift. They still fell on Xu Chen.
It was still the same question.
Xu Chen was too young.
He looked like he was in his twenties.
However, Xu Chen was a section-level leader in Jiangzhou City's police station.
This was something that no organization had ever heard of before.
It was no wonder that they were surprised and curious.
Xing Wuzhong and Hong Jingyu finished speaking.
The city leaders began to arrange for the burial of the corpses.
These matters were mainly resolved by the civil affairs department and a few towns. There was no need for the police to worry.
At eleven o'clock in the morning, the meeting finally ended.
Xu Chen originally wanted to leave, but he did not expect to be stopped by an old man in his sixties.
The old man was the grandfather of one of the victims. His grandson had died from drowning. He was only in his teens and was in middle school.
Less than two months after the burial, the body was stolen.
He fell to his knees and kowtowed to Xu Chen with tears in his eyes.
"Thank you, Section Chief Xu, for finding my grandson's body. Thank you so much.”
When the other seven family members of the deceased saw the old man kneel, they followed suit and kowtowed to Xu Chen to thank him.
This scene was captured by the reporters in the back row.
