After hearing this, Chen Side snorted coldly and said disapprovingly: "Will I lose my official position because of him?"

"Yes, as long as you kill Zhao Yiran today, I dare say that your official position will be lost!" Chu Mufeng said decisively.

"Are you scaring me?" Chen Side's expression darkened.

"No, no, Director Chen, I didn't mean to scare you, I just told the truth."

"Think about it, how many people are staring at the bottom of your butt, hoping that something will go wrong on your side so that they can replace you."

"If nothing else, let's just say that right now, how many people are silently paying attention to this execution ground, and they are all waiting for you to shoot because of your impulse."

Having said this, Chu Mu Feng pointed at the Hanyang gun and said: "As soon as your gun fires, I dare say that the petition against you will be handed over to Director Yan's desk in the blink of an eye. When the time comes, let Yan

What should the director do?”

"Maybe Director Yan will protect you, but do you think this kind of protection can be done without paying some price?"

"You did not have enough evidence and killed Zhao Yiran without trial. What kind of behavior is this? It is obviously lawless and perverting the law for personal gain."

"Without a court verdict or even a full investigation, you acted impulsively like this. Isn't it a crime?" Chu Mufeng said plausibly.

"Yes, maybe you will say that there is a reason for doing this, because you are angry because Chen Jianbin was killed, but are others willing to listen to such a reason?"

"What is a legitimate reason for you is also a legitimate excuse for others. It is a charge that no one can refute. They will even use newspapers to publicize it, confuse the public and arouse public outrage!"

"So, Director Chen, is it worth risking your own future just to vent your anger? Have you considered Director Yan's feelings in doing this?"

Chu Mufeng did not take Zhao Yiran seriously from beginning to end, and all he talked about was the gains and losses of Chen Side's move.

Listening to his words, Chen Side's expression changed uncertainly, and finally he sighed.

"Yes, Captain Chu, you are right. I was indeed impulsive this time, but I am so angry! You must know that Chen Jianbin is not only my nephew, but also the inspector of the Xianzhang Branch."

"Tell me, can I not be angry that the dignified inspector died like this in the branch warehouse?" Chen Side's anger surged when he thought of his nephew who was burned like coke.

"Emotionally speaking, if I were to encounter this kind of thing, I would be angry. If my people were so unclear and died, I would also like to arrest all the suspects."

"But from a rational point of view, Director Chen, as police officers, we must not act based on our whims. We must always rely on truth and evidence. We cannot kill a good person by mistake, and we cannot let a bad person go. Otherwise, aren't we going to let the real culprit go free?"

Chu Mufeng spoke sincerely.

"Are you so sure that Zhao Yiran is not the murderer?" Chen Side glanced at the figure who was tied up.

"To be honest, I'm not sure!"

Chu Mufeng did not take the responsibility, but said calmly: "Director Chen, I came here just to investigate the truth of this case. If Zhao Yiran is really the murderer, he should be shot to death!"

"If he is not the murderer, we will get to the bottom of it and dig out the real murderer and bring him to justice. What do you think?"

"Chief Chu, you are now a famous detective in the police department. Okay, I will trust you just once, and I can leave this case to you for investigation." Chen Side nodded.

"Then thank Director Chen for the face." Chu Mufeng said with cupped hands.

"Wait a minute, I have one more condition!"

"Speaking!"

Chen Side raised his finger and said: "You must give me a result within a week. In addition, since you have come to plead for Zhao Yiran, you must prove that this matter has nothing to do with him, otherwise he will not be able to get away with it!"

"Does it prove that he has no reason for this? This matter is easy to handle!" Chu Mufeng smiled slightly and said quite confidently.

"How to prove it?" Chen Side didn't believe it.

"Director Chen, please move over and go to the logistics warehouse of your branch and we will find out!" Chu Mufeng pointed to the police lane parked not far away.

"Take him over together." Chen Side said.

Xianzong Branch, Logistics Warehouse.

A group of police officers from the Xianzhang Branch were discussing in whispers.

At this time, they all knew Chu Mu Feng's identity, so this discussion naturally revolved around him.

"This guy is the detective of our police department. He looks young. Can he solve this case?"

"Isn't it obvious what to do with it? It's not like you don't know that everyone in Chen Jianbin was burned down."

"That's right, it's clear that it was Zhao Yiran who did it. He will admit everything once he's sentenced to death. There's nothing left to investigate. Why bother wasting your time!"

"But having said that, you can just investigate the case. Why do you want us to bring so much firewood and straw?"

"I don't know, I'm just trying to be mysterious!"

…

Although the previous warehouse was not grand, it was neat and tidy at least.

But what about now? It’s completely in ruins, with cracked walls covered in black ash, everything in the warehouse burned to ashes, and the floor is in a mess.

"Director Chen, actually I just wanted to ask, how did you determine that the person who was burned to death was Chen Jianbin? As far as I know, the body was completely burned to char and was no longer human!" Standing in front of the ruins, Chu

Sheppard turned sideways and asked.

This question is very important. You must know that in this era, there was no DNA identification technology or skull recovery technology.

If the person who was burned to death was not Chen Jianbin, but someone else, although Chen Side could get angry, he would never be so impulsive. This is human nature.

"Captain Chu, although the body was burnt badly and its appearance cannot be distinguished, there are some things that cannot be burned away." Chen Side said as he took out a blackened badge from his pocket.

"This is the badge our branch originally issued to Chen Jianbin. Each badge has the owner's name and number. Others can be faked, but this one can be faked?"

"What's more, when fighting the fire, someone once saw that the person in the sea of ​​​​fire was Chen Jianbin. At that time, he was already burned by the fire."

Oh I got it.

That being said, there seems to be no problem.

If we can be sure that the deceased is Chen Jianbin, we will save a lot of unnecessary trouble.

"Please put down all straws, please."

At Chu Mufeng's greeting, bundles of straw were piled on the ground. After seeing that they were almost there, Chu Mufeng stepped forward and took out a match and lit the straw directly.

This move made Chen Side and others on the side look confused.

"What do you think he wanted to do by burning the straw?"

"Don't ask me, I don't know either."

"Humph, you're still a detective. I think he's pretending to be a ghost on purpose!"

…

Chu Mufeng had no intention of explaining more to everyone's whispers.

It wasn't until the fire burned out that he stepped forward, sending ashes flying everywhere.

"Director Chen, where did you find Chen Jianbin's body in the warehouse?" Chu Mufeng turned to ask.

"It should be right at your feet!" Chen Side took two steps forward, looked at it and said.

"good!"

Chu Mufeng nodded, squatted down, waved his hand, and blew away the grass ash on the ground, only to see traces of a corpse appear on the ground strangely.

"This is?"

Chen Side approached and asked in a tight voice: "Is this..."

"Yes, these are the traces left on Chen Jianbin's body after he was burned."

While looking at it, Chu Mufeng said slowly: "Song Ci, a forensic scientist in the Song Dynasty, once had a forensic treatise called "The Collection of Abandoned Wrongs", which mentioned that he used flax to draw corpses to determine the cause of death.

"

"The book says this. When the human body is burned by flames, the grease will naturally seep to the ground. If it is grilled with fire, the grease will come out and stick to the soot. Then the body position of the deceased before being burned will be

The shape will appear.”

"If the deceased was burned to death while he was awake, he would definitely struggle, which is also a normal reaction. If he struggles and twists, the spilled grease will never turn into a human form."

"If the deceased was killed in advance or burned to death after being stunned, then the grease would not be able to scatter in all directions, because the deceased would not move. In this way, the spilled grease can form a complete human shape. This is what is called

Paint corpses with flax.”

After saying this and giving everyone some time to react and think, Chu Mufeng continued to raise his hand and point to the ground.

"Director Chen, you see, the shape of this corpse is very intact. It was formed naturally from the spilled grease. What does it mean? It means that when Chen Jianbin was burned to death, he was either unconscious or already dead."

"No matter what it is, it should have nothing to do with Zhao Yiran. Because if he did it, Chen Jianbin would never be able to obey and would definitely struggle to resist."

Hearing this, Chen Side couldn't help asking: "Chief Chu, how can you be so sure that Chen Jianbin was not knocked unconscious by Zhao Yiran after he came to the warehouse? If so, Chen Jianbin was also unconscious and burned to death!"

"Good question!"

Chu Mufeng clapped his hands and said bluntly: "Director Chen, this involves a question of time and alibi."

"As far as I know, Zhao Yiran was not here when the fire broke out in the warehouse, but was eating in a restaurant outside. Many people can testify to this, right?"

"Yes, yes, yes! Director Chen, I was eating in the Eight Immortals Building opposite the branch." Zhao Yiran, who was not far away, heard and shouted hurriedly.

"Let me ask, Zhao Yiran was not on duty when the incident happened. How could he knock Chen Jianbin unconscious and then set fire to destroy the body and eliminate all traces? Unless he has the ability to clone himself!" Chu Mufeng said calmly.

"This..." Chen Side couldn't help but ponder.

That being said, this seems to be the truth.

When I first learned about this situation, I didn't think much about it. I thought that since Zhao Yiran was in charge of the logistics warehouse, he would definitely not be able to escape if there was a fire here.

When the fire broke out, Chen Jianbin happened to be burned to death inside again, so the murderer must be Zhao Yiran

Now after what Chu Mufeng said, if I think about it carefully, maybe someone framed me!

When it comes to strict discipline and the courage to fight, Chen Side is definitely a hero, but when it comes to solving cases, Chen Side, the boss, is really not very good!
