Chapter 7: The Dark End of Spring
"Even if you don't say anything, we know the truth of everything." Team Xiao sat across from Song Ke and his lawyer, and he put the photo of the girl he had just found on the table.
Song Ke looked at the photo and trembled his lips and couldn't speak, the lawyer saw Song Ke's reaction and quickly fell into Song Ke's ear and whispered to him not to say a word for a while, but Song Ke didn't listen to it at all, he trembled a few times, and Team Xiao could almost clearly hear the sound of Song Ke's teeth colliding, and finally Song Ke spoke: "How did you find Luo Lei's photo?" β
Team Xiao sneered after hearing this: "It's easy to find out in the number of jΓΉ libraries, you killed those girls because of Luo Wei, right?" β
Song Ke was still silent, and Team Xiao didn't force him, so he said to himself: "I don't know about the matter between you and Luo Wei, but I'm sure you like this girl in the photo, otherwise these victims won't be dressed up as Luo Wei by you in the end." β
"Officer Xiao, my people at the time didn't admit anything, and I think what you just said could only be your own subjective assumptions." The lawyer interrupted Team Shaw.
"But how do you explain the two-hour gap between 7:30 in the morning and 9:40? Can he tell us where he was? Team Xiao turned their gaze to Song Ke's lawyer.
The lawyer straightened his shirt slightly: "My client has short-term amnesia, and I think that under the weight of the current pressure, my client may not be able to fully recall what happened. And you have no direct evidence that my client is related to the cases you have just described. β
Team Xiao raised an eyebrow: "Short-term amnesia? β
"Yes." The lawyer added, "I can ask Song Ke's doctor to give you a hospital certificate." β
"Don't bother." Team Xiao glanced at his phone, "I'll help him remember." β
The lawyer was about to say something, but Team Xiao immediately continued: "This Luo Lei should be a very important person to you, we have checked your background, you have been at your grandmother's house until you were 14 years old." Because your mother was unmarried and conceived to give birth to you, but after remarrying, she had no time to take care of you, and you were sent to your grandmother's house to know that your grandmother died of illness before you were taken home by your mother. Your heart is rejecting this family, but except for this girl named Luo Lei. You can tell from the way you dress up the victim and say what she looked like when she was alive. If you look at the victims in these photos, the clothes they wore when they were found were exactly the same as the clothes in the photos of Luo Lei. Teacher Lu on the side took out a photo of the victim when he was found.
Song Ke looked at these photos and smiled slightly, the lawyer's eyes flashed when he saw this situation, he stopped Song Ke from looking at these photos, but Song Ke ignored him and smiled happily at these photos. He smiled and glanced at the 6 photos, paused for a while on Luo Wei's photo, and then locked his eyes on Du Ting's photo, but after a while, Song Ke suddenly showed a fierce light.
Sure enough, it was him, Team Xiao confirmed in his heart, he glanced at Teacher Lu who was sitting next to him, and Teacher Lu nodded slightly at him. If he wasn't a murderer, he would be very afraid to see the photos of these corpses, but Song Ke didn't, he showed a state of fascination and excitement, just like he wanted the arsonist to visit his arson site again to be satisfied, non-impulsive murderers like to look back on their own killing process, Song Ke's state can clearly see his connection with the whole case.
"Slut." Song Ke looked at the photo and scolded.
The lawyer wanted to stop Song Ke, but Song Ke seemed to be completely immersed in his own world, laughing and scolding for a while.
"My client is not in good shape and is not suitable for trial, and I will apply for early bail." The lawyer looked at Team Xiao and said.
Team Xiao glanced at him contemptuously: "I think this time I may not be able to fulfill your wish." We have just obtained definite evidence, and your client Song Ke already has direct evidence of the involvement in the case. Xiao team raised his mobile phone and showed the lawyer the message sent to him: the missing person has been successfully found, and the clothes of the previous victim have been found in an apartment rented by Song Ke, and they have been sent to the technical department of the bureau for examination.
Team Xiao took back his mobile phone and looked at the lawyer in front of him calmly.
When we saw Du Ting again, her condition was much better, and she looked at us who walked into the ward suspiciously. Her brother quickly stood up when he saw us, and he held Li Jing's hand: "Thank you." Turning his head, he said to his sister, "These are the two benefactors who brought you out." β
"Thank you." Du Ting thanked us softly, and the way she smiled was very similar to Luo Lei.
I looked at Li Jing, who was silent for a moment and said, "Miss Du, can I ask you a few questions?" β
Du Ting looked at Li Jing's expression and glanced at her brother who was standing next to her hospital bed at a loss.
Her brother soothed her shoulder and asked Li Jing, "Is there something wrong?" β
Li Jing hesitated for a moment: "Well, because although we rescued your sister Du Ting, we still have no direct evidence to prosecute the suspect who harmed your sister, and we were able to find this suspect thanks to the help of the families of the previous victims." So now I hope that you and your sister will cooperate with us to provide evidence so that we can prosecute the suspects. so that the other victims can rest in peace. β
"But how can we help?" Du Tao asked.
Li Jing looked at Du Ting: "I hope Miss Du can help us recall the things before and after the robbery." β
Du Ting thought for a while: "I received a call from Designer Song the night before, because the small dress that I ordered in Ouqida two weeks ago had been ready, and he said that it would be very inconvenient for me to pick it up from the company, so he wanted to help me send it over." The place he crossed was only one street away from my house, and I agreed. When we met later, he opened the car door and pulled out a bag of clothes, and just as I tried to open it, he lost consciousness. I'm sorry. Du Ting covered her mouth and cried and apologized to her brother.
"It's okay, you're fine." Du Tao comforted his sister.
Li Jing waited for Du Ting to calm down and then asked, "Du Ting, you mentioned the car just now, do you remember what kind of car it was?" β
Du Ting thought for a while: "I don't remember clearly, it seems to be a white Touareg, and there is a smell of cologne in the car, but I can't remember the rest clearly." β
Seeing that Du Ting's face was getting paler and paler, Li Jing didn't want to ask anything more, he bowed a little and walked out of the ward with me.
Out of the door of the ward, Li Jing called Shi Hao: "Shi Hao, help me find out who has a white Touareg in Song Ke's name or among the relatives and friends around him who has a white Touareg or a white SUV of the same type, if you find it, apply to the Xiao team for a search warrant, which may contain information about other victims." β
In the evening, the technical department came to confirm that the clothes found in Song Ke's apartment room had blood stains, and they coincided with the DNA samples of several previous victims, and they were taken to the victims' families for identification, and it was indeed confirmed that the clothes belonged to the previous victims.
And Shi Hao also found out that Song Ke's mother did have a white Touareg in her name, and found DNA blood stains on one of the victims in the fabric of the Touareg seat. Although there has always been a lawyer's obstruction, under so much physical evidence, Song Kezhong just admitted his crime.
"I've always loved Lore, she's the most beautiful person I've ever met since I left my grandmother. I knew that my father was a murderer, so by the time I returned to my mother, I had already been branded as a son of a demon in my stepfather's heart. So he kept blocking my relationship with Lolei, including sending me abroad was my stepfather's idea. After I returned home, I married Luo Lei, her father, who was my stepfather, was adamantly against us, and finally Luo Lei died in a car accident when she ran away from home. After Lore left, I had no reason to stay there again. I heard that there was an apartment on Sycamore Road where I could see my lover in the underworld, so I rented that house, but nothing happened. Knowing that on the first anniversary of Luo Lei's death, I saw a girl who was almost exactly the same as Luo Lei when I was working in the store, I knew that my Luo Lei was back, and we were dating, but my Luo Lei was different, he was not as docile and obedient as before, she actually forgot all about us, and called me crazy. So I know I'm fooled, she's not my Luo Lei, Luo Lei won't yell at me, cry won't call me a pervert, Luo Lei will only gently stroke my hair and say she loves me. So those women were demons, and they had taken Lolei's soul, so I killed them. I didn't attend Lolei's funeral because Lolei's father was against my appearance, so I held a separate funeral for her. Every year from now on, I will see people like Lolei. Luo Lei was reluctant to leave me, so every spring, Luo Lei would come to see me and leave, but one year Luo Lei left early, and she didn't look good at all, and I helped her dress up for a long time before she dressed up as her favorite. Finally get her where she needs to go. Luo Lei is very kind, and he comes back to see me every year when the flowers bloom. Song Ke's eyes were empty and confused, but there was a weird smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Then why call the family?" Team Shaw asked him.
"I'm going to let her dad know that we're still together in the end." A strange smile appeared on Song Ke's face.
