Diary of a Criminal Investigator

Seeing the other party trying to escape, Lu Chuan suddenly accelerated and tackled Chen Zheng to the ground.

"What’s your name!"

Lu Chuan twisted Chen Zheng’s hands behind him and shouted sternly!

"Chen... Chen Zheng."

At this moment, Chen Zheng’s face was pale. After being knocked down by Lu Chuan, his left cheek had scraped against the ground and was slightly skinned.

"Do you know why you’re being arrested?"

"I... don’t know..."

At this moment, Chen Zheng knew he was done for.

The police found him, and resisting would be meaningless, but he still wanted to try.

Their robbery was planned perfectly; the police couldn’t possibly find them.

Moreover, he didn’t bring all the stolen money back, only took 150,000 yuan, 100,000 of which was for his parents.

"Don’t know? Then what are you afraid of?"

"I... I didn’t run, I just came out to use the restroom..."

"Hmph, still trying to be tough?"

"You really thought lying on the rooftop of a self-built house would make you invisible to the police?"

"Did you really think your robbery plan was flawless, leaving no evidence?"

"Using fake guns to rob a bank, you three are really bold! Fool!"

After subduing Chen Zheng, Lu Chuan immediately put handcuffs on him.

"Get up!"

At this moment, Wang Song and Song Mingguang, who were preparing to outflank from behind the courtyard, also appeared in the yard.

Seeing that the person was subdued, both put away their guns.

"What’s going on here?"

"Who are you?"

"Why are you arresting my son?"

The real parents from inside the house saw their son handcuffed and started shouting loudly.

Wang Song stepped forward, pulling out his credentials.

"We are the police. Your son, Chen Zheng, is suspected of robbing a bank. We are arresting him according to the law!"

"What... rob... rob a bank?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Zheng’s mother fainted, eyes rolling back.

Luckily, Wang Song quickly supported the old woman, preventing her from falling to the ground.

"Mom!"

Seeing his mother faint, Chen Zheng shouted anxiously.

At this moment, village head Wang Changjun and team leader Chen Hao also entered the yard.

With such a commotion, neighbors came out to see and watched the scene as Chen Zheng was already in handcuffs.

"What’s going on?"

"Little Zheng got caught?"

"Are they the police?"

"What did Chen Zheng do? What crime did he commit?"

"I heard he robbed a bank."

"Damn....?"

Seeing more and more people gathering, Wang Changjun instructed Chen Hao to maintain order.

"Everyone stop watching, go back and do your own things. Let the police do their work, go home, hurry!"

Unlike the timid Chen Hao seen at the town police station in front of Li Donglin, Lu Chuan and others, he sounded loud and full of energy in front of his team members.

With the forensic skills rewarded by the system, Lu Chuan stepped forward to check on Chen Zheng’s mother.

He checked her pulse and pinched her philtrum. Soon, the old woman slowly regained consciousness.

"Just a sudden rush of emotions, she’s fine now."

"Are you alright, my dear? Go lie down inside for a while."

Chen Zheng’s father helped his wife up and into the house.

Staying outside wasn’t an option either.

Li Donglin instructed Lu Chuan to take Chen Zheng inside as well.

Three people were involved in the robbery; only one has been captured now, and the whereabouts of the other two are still unknown.

So the most urgent thing now is to find the other two through Chen Zheng, to capture all the suspects involved.

"Chen Zheng, we have solid evidence of your crime; we found a strand of your hair at the crime scene."

"Comparing it with Chen Tianbao’s DNA samples revealed evidence of your crime."

"Your only way out now is to actively cooperate with us, to catch the other two. This way, you might have a chance to redeem yourself and earn a lighter sentence."

"Son, what were you thinking!"

Chen Zheng’s father suddenly rushed over and slapped Chen Zheng!

"Our old Chen family may be poor, but we’ve never had anyone break the law. How could you rob a bank? Are you mad?"

"You are our only son. If you’re gone, what will happen to your mother and me?"

"Quickly cooperate with the police and tell them everything about your accomplices. Redeem yourself, so you can come out soon."

Seeing his father in tears, Chen Zheng couldn’t control his own tears from flowing.

"I’ll talk, I’ll tell everything!"

Chen Zheng confessed clearly.

"This robbery was all planned by Li Chuan."

"Zhang Xiaohu and I just followed his orders..."

Chen Zheng’s confession about the robbery was much more detailed than Chen Tianbao’s.

After the robbery, Chen Zheng hid on the roof of a self-built house, and Zhang Xiaohu was the one in the sewer. The one who escaped across the road, who they still didn’t figure out how he left, was Li Chuan.

"Our escape routes and how to evade police pursuit were all planned by Li Chuan. We just followed his orders, but he didn’t tell us how he escaped, only that we shouldn’t worry, he had a plan."

"Do you know where Li Chuan is now?"

"I don’t know that. Li Chuan told us not to contact each other after the robbery, to lay low for a while."

"After the robbery, I left Binzhou City immediately."

"I stayed in a county town hotel for two nights."

"I just returned home today."

The reason Chen Zheng stayed in the county for two nights was because the hotel offered not only accommodation but other entertainment facilities. Having money, Chen Zheng spent two days there before coming back today.

"But I know where Zhang Xiaohu is now. He didn’t go back to his hometown; he went to Dongzhou City to see his ex-girlfriend."

"Dongzhou City?"

"Yes, when we were working in Binzhou City, Zhang Xiaohu met his ex-girlfriend through an introduction. They were about to get married, but because of the dowry, Zhang Xiaohu’s family couldn’t afford it, so they broke up."

"Now with money, Zhang Xiaohu plans to reconcile with his ex-girlfriend and get married."

"Do you know the exact location?"

"I only know it’s in Yellow Water County in Dongzhou City, not the exact place."

"By the way, his girlfriend’s name is Chen Xiaojuan, I know her name."

In a county, finding someone should not be difficult if you know the name.

Upon hearing this, Wang Song went outside to make a phone call, asking the provincial technology center for assistance in the investigation.

"As for Li Chuan, I really don’t know his whereabouts. After we left, I haven’t been able to contact him, and his original phone number is no longer in use."

"I tried calling him yesterday, but his phone was off."

Chen Zheng’s confession was detailed, but he knew little about Li Chuan’s situation.

After getting a rough understanding of the situation, Li Donglin decided to split up into two groups.
