The investigation of a case is often a process of solving a mystery, and this process is often like a ghost hitting a wall, returning to the original point again and again.

After Xu Lang came out of the temporary headquarters, he found Ding Haoqiong and asked him to contact the members of CSY to prepare to leave here and return to S City.

Ding Haoqiong was naturally very confused about Xu Lang's request, after all, there were still many things to do here, and it was not appropriate to choose to leave at this point in time, but after seeing Xu Lang's firm and dignified face, Ding Haoqiong did not ask anything, but gathered all the members of CSY one by one, and then drove away from here.

Leaving with Xu Lang and them was Chen Lingxuan, the only woman who was brought out by Xu Lang from Chenjiahe Village, in addition to Chen Lingxuan, Qin Mingyue also took away the corpses and corpses found at the scene.

On the way back, Qin Mingyue told Xu Lang that in the deep mountains, in addition to the six charred and carbonized corpses found in the fire, a total of nearly thirty corpses were found in the cave, and these corpses were cleaned up one by one and taken back to S City by Qin Mingyue for a detailed autopsy, which would be a huge amount of work.

On the way back, Ding Haoqiong drove, Xu Lang sat in the co-pilot, while Chen Lingxuan and Luo Jiayan sat in the back, Qin Mingyue, Lai Pi and Fan Yang sat in a car behind.

For Xu Lang suddenly asked them to leave at this time, all the members of CSY were puzzled, Ding Haoqiong was strange, there was still a lot of work to be done here in Chenjiahe, Xu Lang, as one of the first people to arrive here, he should know a lot of things, but he chose this time, he was very puzzled.

Fan Yang is puzzled, although the scene was destroyed by the fire, but now the fire has been extinguished, it is the best time to investigate the scene, now, it is raining heavily outside, if you do not investigate the scene in time and fix the evidence, then, many clues will disappear with the rain, she is very puzzled.

Qin Mingyue felt that although no corpses were found in the village of Chenjiahe Village, so many corpses were found in the caves deep in the mountains of the village, and further excavation was needed to see that there were no new corpses at the scene.

Although everyone has their own ideas and incomprehensions, since Xu Lang asked for this, they naturally have no opinions.

The car is driving on the muddy road, the speed is very slow, after all, the road here is really difficult to walk, there are no guardrails installed on both sides of the road, one is not careful, the car is likely to rush out of the road because of the tire skidding, so Ding Haoqiong, who is responsible for driving, is very concentrated.

From the moment Xu Lang got into the car, he leaned on the co-pilot's seat, looking at the pouring rain outside the window, his eyes were foggy, he didn't know what he was thinking, Ding Haoqiong looked at Xu Lang many times out of the corner of his eyes, and wanted to ask Xu Lang several times, why he chose to go back at this time, but when he saw Xu Lang's contemplative appearance, he chose to be silent, not to mention, now is not the time to ask about this, after all, there is still an outsider sitting in their car.

No one spoke in the car, and the atmosphere was very depressing, just like the sky outside at this time, so oppressive that people couldn't breathe freely.

Ding Haoqiong drove intently, Luo Jiayan's baby face also showed a rare solemn expression, and Chen Lingxuan was the most relaxed person, she looked at the scenery outside the window, maybe because she finally left here, not only did she not feel lost, but she was a little excited, as for Xu Lang, she completely fell into contemplation.

When the car passed by Ding Haoqiong and they came, when the road was blown up, it was found that the collapsed highway had already been urgently repaired, and the landslides on both sides had been cleaned up, as for Hengtong County, which was not far away, it seemed to be the same as usual, so quiet and lively, it seemed that nothing had changed because of last night's explosion, the only difference was that there were police everywhere here, and there were police cars flashing police lights.

There was nothing to say all the way, and everyone just rushed back to CSY when it was dark.

After returning to CSY, Xu Lang asked Luo Jiayan to make a note for Chen Lingxuan, and called the others together for a simple meeting.

At the meeting, Xu Lang didn't say much, just asked everyone to reorganize the information in their hands, and then, focus on investigating Chen Qiumin's case, as well as a series of cases caused by Chen Qiumin's murder case, as for what everyone should do, there is no need for Xu Lang to say more, they all know it in their hearts.

After the meeting, Qin Mingyue and Ren Xue entered the forensic autopsy room, because there were too many corpses brought back, Qin Mingyue and Ren Xue alone would definitely not be busy, Xu Lang temporarily transferred the forensic doctors of the second criminal investigation team, as well as some forensic doctors from several other divisions to help, and now Tian Yongchun, the director of the Public Security Bureau of S City, and Ning Yanran, the deputy director, are in Chenjiahe Village, and they naturally have no opinion on Xu Lang's requirements.

Xu Lang asked Lu Xing, who stayed in CSY, about the interrogation of Chen Zhen and others, and learned that except for Chen Yuzhen who took the initiative to confess the facts of the crime, no one else had the intention of speaking, and the search for Chang Hongyun continued, and he himself had not been arrested.

A lot of the information reported by Lu Xing to Xu Lang is bad news, and the only good news is that the media in S City don't seem to be aware of what happened in Hengtong County, and there are no media reporters going there to interview and report for the time being, however, Xu Lang doesn't think that media reporters with a keen sense of smell will not be aware of these things, and the only explanation should be that the superiors asked them not to report for the time being

That's it.

After the meeting, Xu Lang had no intention of resting, nor did he go home, he took Ding Haoqiong directly to the detention center, preparing to meet Chen Zhen and others in person.

————

In the detention center, in an interrogation room, Chen Zhen fixed one hand to the interrogation chair with shiny handcuffs, and the other hand was bandaged and hung around his neck, while one of his legs was also wrapped in gauze and stretched straight on the ground, while Chen Zhen was opposite an interrogation table, and the back of the interrogation table was empty, only a few empty chairs.

Xu Lang stood in the observation room next to this interrogation room, watching everything in the interrogation room.

The pre-trial personnel in charge of interrogating Chen Zhen in the detention center were looking at Xu Lang with an interrogation record at this time, telling about the interrogation process and the results of the interrogation.

In fact, Xu Lang didn't need to listen to it to know that the biggest result now is that there is no result, yes, so far, Chen Zhen still hasn't explained any problems.

After Xu Lang looked at it for a while, he turned his head to the pre-trial personnel and asked, "Where is Chen Yuzhen?" ”

"She's in the interrogation room next door."

Xu Lang nodded and said to Ding Haoqiong: "Let's go, let's go meet this woman." ”

The pre-trial officer immediately opened the door and took Xu Lang and them to the interrogation room next door.

"Click."

As the door of the interrogation room was pushed open, Xu Lang and the others appeared at the door of the interrogation room, which immediately attracted the attention of the woman sitting on the interrogation chair in the interrogation room.

Chen Yuzhen's appearance is not particularly outstanding, but she is not ugly, her slightly dark complexion makes the eyes of people who are used to seeing fair skin shine, at this time, after she saw Xu Lang, her eyes narrowed slightly, and her brows were slightly wrinkled, obviously, she recognized Xu Lang.

If it was a few years ago, Xu Lang would not have such a high degree of recognition, but now, it is actually very easy to recognize Xu Lang, as long as you see a man wearing a police uniform and with long snow-white hair, you will know that this person must be Xu Lang.

After the door of the interrogation room was pushed open, Xu Lang did not stop, and went straight to the middle of the interrogation table and sat down, while Ding Haoqiong sat on Xu Lang's left hand, and the pre-trial personnel of the detention center sat on Xu Lang's right hand after closing the door.

After Xu Lang sat down, he did not greet politely, but went straight to the point.

"Name."

"Chen Yuzhen."

"Age."

"Twenty-five."

"Gender."

"Female"

"Origin."

"Chenjiahe Village, Zhuping Town, Hengtong County, S City."

Whatever Xu Lang asked, Chen Yuzhen immediately answered, obviously, after she was arrested, the people in the detention center had already interrogated her, and she also knew the routine of the police questioning.

After asking a few basic questions, Xu Lang looked at Chen Yuzhen and asked, "Do you know me?" ”

Chen Yuzhen raised her head and looked at Xu Lang, hesitated for a moment, nodded but said, "I know, but I haven't seen it." ”

"Now that you know me, it should be clear that I will ask you what questions I will ask you next, and I hope you can cooperate with our work." Xu Lang said in a flat tone.

Chen Yuzhen nodded again.

"You and Chen Qiumin are fellow villagers and young people, right?"

"Yes, we are a village, and we grew up together."

"Do you know about Chen Qiumin's murder?"

Chen Yuzhen nodded and said, "I know, when his body was found, I knew it." ”

"You saw Chen Qiumin's body?" Xu Lang asked.

"Nope."

"Who else did you grow up with besides Chen Qiumin?"

"Chen Zhen, who was arrested with me, Chen Wang, who has been killed, and Chen Shan."

"Anything else?"

"Oh, and Chen Bo and Chen Qiang."

Hearing Chen Yuzhen say this, Xu Lang was slightly stunned, and then suddenly suddenly.

Before, when Xu Lang and Luo Jiayan went to Chenjiahe Village for the first time to investigate, they learned that there were only four people of the same age who had a good relationship with Chen Qiumin, and at first, Xu Lang thought that there were only four people, but with the deepening of the investigation, as well as the previous incident in Chenjiahe Village, Xu Lang found that they were wrong, and Chen Qiumin and they had a good relationship, there should be more than these four people, there should be other people, and sure enough, Chen Yuzhen's confession determined the conjecture in Xu Lang's heart.

"How did Chen Qiumin die? Did you kill it? Xu Lang asked straight to the point.

Chen Yuzhen hurriedly shook her head and said: "I don't know how Chen Qiumin died, I only know that he died, I only know that he died, I heard Chen Zhen say that he was killed by someone, as for the specific details, I don't know." ”

"According to our investigation, a few of you left Chenjiahe Village more than two years ago, right?" Xu Lang asked.

"Yes."

"Where did you all go after you left Chenjiahe Village? Is it S City that came directly? ”

"Yes."

"Then what have you done since you came to S City?"

Chen Yuzhen was silent, as if she didn't want to speak, but when she saw Xu Lang's slightly embarrassed and scarred cheeks, there was also Xu Lang's ice

After the cold eyes, Chen Yuzhen still opened her mouth and began to explain in detail.

————

Chen Qiumin, Chen Zhen, Chen Wang, Chen Shan, Chen Bo, Chen Qiang and Chen Yuzhen, the seven of them are of the same age, and they are from the same village, so the relationship is naturally very good, among these seven people, the oldest is Chen Zhen, who is twenty-five years old, and the youngest is Chen Shan, and among these people, the best relationship with Chen Qiumin is not Chen Wang, who has been killed, but Chen Shan.

The seven of them are considered a small group, and when a group is formed, there will naturally be a leader, and to Xu Lang's surprise, Chen Qiumin is their leader, not Chen Zhen, who looks smart.

According to Chen Yuzhen, in their small group of seven people, Chen Qiumin is the most flexible, the most daring person, and the person with the most leadership potential, and he has been like this since he was a child, and although Chen Zhen looks very smart, he is also the most educated among them, in fact, he is a role similar to a military advisor.

Chen Wang is the most timid, he loved to cry the most when he was a child, and he is also a person who is very rough in everything.

Chen Shan is the most ferocious one among them, when they were in elementary school and junior high school, they were bullied by children in other villages, and it was Chen Shan who fought every time, don't look at his age, but, when it comes to fighting, he is the most ruthless, and he likes to play behind the back.

Chen Qiumin was very fat when he was a child, and his personality was also weird, in addition to having a good relationship with the people in the village, he was very insidious to outsiders, and children were together, it was inevitable that there would be some bumps and bumps, and conflicts were inevitable, Chen Qiumin because of his body, he couldn't fight, and other children often bullied and ridiculed Chen Qiumin's obesity, and even, there was once a group of children a few years older than them who blocked Chen Qiumin in a dry toilet and beat him and urinated on him.

After Chen Shan knew about this, he went to find this group of children alone, and on a dark and windy night, he attacked these children who were several years older than him alone, and his way of doing it was very insidious, that is, he hit the stuffy stick in the back, knocked people unconscious, and threw them directly into the dry toilet, if it wasn't for the adults to find out in time, these children may have died in the toilet at that time, and when they were rescued, they didn't know who hit them.

Chen Qiang is the son of Chen Weiguo, the head of Chenjiahe Village, although he is the son of the village chief, but when he is with Chen Qiumin, he can only be regarded as a fart, compared to other children, Chen Qiang is a person with a greater sense of justice, however, it is precisely because of this that he has not been very accepted by Chen Qiumin and them, after graduating from junior high school, he has been staying in the village, rarely leaving Chenjiahe Village, and occasionally leaving, it is Chen Weiguo who asked him to go out to do errands.

As for Chen Bo, Chen Yuzhen has the least impression of him, and the most vague, she only remembers that Chen Bo loved to cry when he was a child, and he was also the most bullied person among them, after he graduated from junior high school, he left the village, I don't know where he went, but, after a few years, he went to the Hengtong County Public Security Bureau as an auxiliary policeman, until a few years ago, he became a regular, they had the least contact with Chen Bo, and the relationship was the weakest.

And Chen Yuzhen herself, she is the only girl among the seven people, so she is considered a vase in the group, don't look at Chen Yuzhen's average appearance, but she has her own little abacus since she was a child, and after knowing that Chen Qiumin is their boss, she often deliberately pleases Chen Qiumin, which is normal among children.

According to Chen Yuzhen's own words, before graduating from junior high school, they often played together, but, after graduating from junior high school, Chen Zhen was admitted to high school, went to the county to study, and later took the college entrance examination and was admitted to the university, he came to S City to study, as for Chen Bo, after he graduated from junior high school, he left the village and went to the county, and Chen Wang, at first, also stayed in the village, and later, followed Chen Qiumin's parents to go out to work, however, after Chen Qiumin's parents died, he returned to the village.

About two years ago, three months after Chen Qiumin's parents' affairs were dealt with, Chen Qiumin suddenly called them together, and then left Chenjiahe Village with them and came to S City.

After arriving in S City, they first went to S University and found Chen Zhen, who was in his senior year, and then, Chen Zhen dropped out of school not long after.

After they came to S City, they first found Song Jinzhong, and several people founded Changkuai Transportation Company together, of course, it was Song Jinzhong who paid the money, so the boss of the company was him, and Chen Zhen served as a manager in the company after dropping out of school, in fact, the real boss of Changkuai Company is Chen Qiumin.

After the establishment of Changkuai Company, their main business was to run transportation on the surface, but in fact, it was to transport some wild protected animals from Chenjiahe Village that Chen Yuzhen did not know where to get them to S City and hand them over to a person named Chang Hongyun.

Chang Hongyun was first contacted by Chen Qiumin, but later, he handed over the business with Chang Hongyun to Chen Zhen.

A few people in the company, either Song Jinzhong's relatives, or people from Chenjiahe Village, never recruit people from outside, and every time after doing a single business, Chen Yuzhen and a few of them can get a part of the money, and they get a lot of money, but at Chen Qiumin's request, they can't show their heads and can't do business on their own, as for what the money is used for, whether it is saved, or to buy luxury goods, or to spend time drinking, he doesn't care, in short, Chen Qiumin just asked them not to expose themselves.
