Chapter 59: Damn It's Me
Mo Xiaochuan is really going to work hard.
There's no way, it's already at this juncture, it's really impossible to fight!
It's a big deal to take a leave of absence tomorrow and lie comfortably in bed for a day, eat and make up.
At the moment, Mo Xiaochuan wanted to know what Zhou Meizhen was hiding!
After making up his mind, Mo Xiaochuan stood up tremblingly under the support of Section Chief Wang, moved to the table step by step, and looked at Zhou Meizhen a little weakly.
The eyes are as blue as the ocean.
"No, no, you didn't work overtime that night, but left the unit on time, where did you go? What did you do? What is it that is worth hiding for you for a whole decade?"
Mo Xiaochuan's voice sounded like some kind of mysterious hypnosis, although it did not directly affect Xiong Qian and Xiao Huang's bodies, it made the two of them feel a little numb in their scalps.
Section Chief Wang is worthy of being an old fritter, in this case, he knew that he had to take the lead in stabilizing the situation, so he immediately pulled Xiong Qian and Xiao Huang by the hand, and signaled the two of them not to talk much.
Zhou Meizhen looked directly into Mo Xiaochuan's eyes, and her body began to tremble slightly involuntarily, as if she was resisting something.
"I ......"
Zhou Meizhen only said one word, the green tendons on her neck had already bulged out fiercely, her lips were bloodless in an instant, and her fingers were white, looking like an epileptic patient who was about to develop the disease.
"I got home from work on time that day. ”
After saying this, Zhou Meizhen seemed to have suddenly unloaded the thousand catties of boulder that had been pressing on her heart for ten years, and the strength of her body was taken away, and her eyes were no longer the-for-tat confrontation with Xiong Qian before, but flashed with tears, as if she would burst out of her eyes at any time.
Mo Xiaochuan gritted his teeth and tried to persevere: "And then?"
"Then, I cooked for Miao Miao, because I asked Xiao Zhao from the unit to dance, and I went out...... Originally, it was my ...... who died that day."
Zhou Meizhen finally couldn't hold back the tears in her eyes anymore, and broke down and cried in front of Mo Xiaochuan, and her heart was pierced in an instant.
Mo Xiaochuan took a deep breath, waved away the silhouette of the nine-tailed fox in his mind, and collapsed on the chair in great prostration, looking at Zhou Meizhen opposite, his eyes were compassionate, but he didn't even have the strength to comfort her.
The three of Section Chief Wang next to them looked at each other, they never thought that the truth was like this.
It turned out that Zhou Meizhen had moved countless houses in the past ten years and fabricated false confessions to the police, just for such a simple reason.
Remorse.
If she hadn't gone out dancing that day, she might have died.
In a sense, this is completely in line with Mo Xiaochuan's speculation at the beginning.
The reason why Miao Miao's case is the most special case in the entire "Shancheng Corpse Annihilation Case" is because the victim's age does not meet the murderer's consistent goal of committing the crime, and in addition, the murderer changed his modus operandi for the first and only time, and did not choose to cut his throat with a knife, but suffocated the victim to death with a belt.
Finally, what is different is that in the Miao Miao case, the murderer did not cut the victim's body tissues and organs and take them away.
The above discrepancies of evidence once made Mo Xiaochuan suspect that Miao Miao's case was not committed by the murderer of the Shancheng corpse annihilation case, but after reading all the police files, Mo Xiaochuan knew that this case was at least ironclad in terms of the identity of the murderer.
Because Miao Miao was also sexually assaulted by the murderer, and the murderer left DNA in her body.
Until this moment, Mo Xiaochuan finally understood why the murderer suddenly changed his way of committing crimes.
Because it was an accident.
His original target may have been Zhou Meizhen.
However, because Zhou Meizhen went out dancing that day, the murderer pounced, and then temporarily made up his mind after seeing Miao Miao, which made this most special case.
Mo Xiaochuan could understand Zhou Meizhen's state of mind at this time, but he still felt that the other party was still hiding something.
If Zhou Meizhen just caused Miao Miao to be killed because she left home for dancing, and thus regretted it to this day, her reaction should not be so big.
Xiong Qian was also keenly aware of the problem, and in the past ten years, he has visited all the families of the victims, and many of them have blamed themselves for the tragedy.
For example, why didn't I pick up my wife from work that day, why did I quarrel with my sister in the morning, causing her to not come home on time after work and was killed, and why she didn't support her daughter when she wanted to move and change jobs, maybe such a tragedy would not happen again after moving, etc.
But most of these people can slowly come out of the shadows and face a new life with the passage of time.
Why is Zhou Meizhen still so obsessed with going out to dance that day?
So seeing that Mo Xiaochuan was sweating profusely and had no strength to move again, Xiong Qian chose to stand up and whispered to Zhou Meizhen: "Even so, Miao Miao's death is not your fault, and you didn't know that such a thing would happen......"
At this time, Zhou Meizhen has been completely defeated, like a cracked floodgate, and the emotions that have been suppressed for ten years are vented in an instant, and it is very difficult to close it again.
Therefore, Xiong Qian's comfort, instead of playing any positive role, made the sorrow in her heart deeper and deeper, and the tears couldn't stop flowing out, and even made it a little difficult for her to breathe.
"No...... You guys...... You don't know, you don't understand, I ...... I've probably seen him. ”
Zhou Meizhen's words sounded a little vague, and she didn't specify who the so-called "he" was, but those present, including Mo Xiaochuan, Xiong Qian, Section Chief Wang, and even Xiao Huang, all understood Zhou Meizhen's words.
Mo Xiaochuan's eyes widened suddenly.
Section Chief Wang shot a ray of light from his eyes.
Xiao Huang swallowed hard.
And Xiong Qian said with an incredulous face: "You, you mean, you may have seen the murderer?"
Zhou Meizhen didn't nod or shake her head, but said to herself: "Just me, when I went out and went down the stairs, I saw a man wearing a hat and carrying a bucket of mineral water on his shoulder, sneakily walking to our floor and stopping, I, I didn't think much about it at the time, and later, later, ......"
Zhou Meizhen couldn't speak anymore, and her crying gradually covered all her emotions, but it made Mo Xiaochuan and the others shudder.
When Zhou Meizhen went out dancing on the day of the crime, she happened to meet the murderer who was about to commit the crime?
And the two also took a photo?
Regardless of whether this is consistent with Mo Xiaochuan's speculation at the beginning, the murderer will step on a little bit in advance before making a move, at least, this is a major breakthrough!
In this description of Zhou Meizhen, there is a very crucial detail.
She saw that the murderer was carrying a bucket of mineral water on his shoulder when he went upstairs!
