Chapter 37: The Broken Horn
Time passes slowly, and for some it may be a long night, but for most, it will soon pass, whether it is noisy or quiet. As a ray of morning light crosses the sky, the east gradually turns white, and a new day begins.
After a heavy rain, Yucheng at this time was a little cool. The sky was gloomy, like a human face with lingering anger, covering the entire sky, the entire Yucheng, boring and depressed. In the public security building, a young man leaning on a chair slowly opened his eyes at this time.
His gaze was as sharp as a knife, as if he could penetrate everything in the world. He looked around, and eventually, his eyes fell on a couch not far away, where there was a little girl sleeping soundly. The little girl was cute and cute, and there was a slight snoring from time to time. At this moment, the young man's eyes softened, and a smile appeared on his originally stiff face.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Just then, there was a knock on the door, and a young detective walked in.
"Team Zhang......"
"Shhhh Be quiet! Zhang Yijie pointed to the sleeping little girl and said, "Xiao Wang, what's the matter?" ”
"Bureau Yang instructed you to arrange for all the women you brought back from the No. 9 warehouse of the Rich Man last night to be repatriated this morning." The criminal policeman who spoke was Wang Jian, and he was one of the criminal policemen who followed Zhang Yijie last night.
"In such a hurry?" Zhang Yijie frowned. Yang Qingyun also mentioned this matter last night, and he came in a hurry to urge this matter this morning, he always felt that something was wrong, and he couldn't say it, after all, he just made a record for them hastily, and it was a bit unreasonable to be so eager to repatriate.
"Yang Ju said that they are all poor people, and some of them have been imprisoned for two or three months, so it is better to send them back to reunite with their families as soon as possible, so that they can also calm people's hearts!" Wang Jian looked at Zhang Yijie's expression and hurriedly spoke.
Zhang Yijie paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, glanced at the sleeping little girl, seemed to think of something, and said to Wang Jian: "Xiao Wang, in this way, you go and bring that Yu Jing, I have something to ask her."
After Wang Jian left, Zhang Yijie came to the window, opened the window, and a clear stream poured in, Zhang Yijie took a deep breath, and was suddenly refreshed, and his tiredness was swept away.
After a while, Wang Jian led Yu Jing in. At this time, Yu Jing, after a simple grooming, looked dignified and decent, and the woman who was unkempt and had a bloodshot mouth last night was like two people. Except for her eyes, which are still a little red and swollen, she is still in good spirits in other aspects. At this time, she was, without a doubt, a beautiful woman.
As soon as Yu Jing walked in, Zhang Yijie greeted him.
"Miss Yu Jing? Come, please be seated! Zhang Yijie beckoned Yu Jing to sit down across from him.
Yu Jing looked at the little girl all night, nodded, and said as soon as she sat down, "I don't know what happened to Team Zhang looking for me?" Do you still need to record a statement? ”
"Not really, there's something I want to ask you!" Zhang Yijie smiled.
"Thanks to Team Zhang for rescuing our sisters, what Team Zhang wants to ask, just open your mouth, I will definitely cooperate, and I will know everything and say everything!"
"Hmmm! Good! Zhang Yijie said, took out a few photos from the drawer, and handed them to Yu Jing, "Do you know this person?" ”
Yu Jing glanced at the photo, she was calm at first, but as she took a second look seriously, she then fluttered, stood up, looked suspicious, took the photo in her hand, looked at it repeatedly, and after a while, said in a trembling voice: "She...... What's wrong with her? ”
Zhang Yijie looked at her expression, he knew that the two of them knew each other, and the relationship was not shallow.
"Sorry, she's dead!" Zhang Yijie sighed.
"Dead, dead!" Yu Jing muttered softly, as if she had lost her strength all of a sudden, and sat down suddenly.
"Two days ago, at the Yangtze River crossing on Harmony Avenue, she was hit by a car and died on the spot, and the perpetrator has turned himself in. Because no eyewitness was found, our announcement was also issued, and her body has not been claimed by anyone, and her identity has not been confirmed. Zhang Yijie took out a cigarette and was about to light it, but when he saw the little girl who was sleeping sweetly, he put the cigarette down again.
"Condolences? What do I have to mourn! I should hate her. Yu Jing smiled miserably, her eyes sad, and looked at the woman in the photo.
Judging by the photos, this is a very Peugeot woman. She was lying on a bed and seemed to be sleeping peacefully. If you don't pay attention to her pale and bloodless face, this is a moving woman. She had apparently been carefully groomed, with a white cloth over her. The background color of the photograph is monotonous and bleak, there are only two colors, one black and one white, and she lies there quietly, lonely and desolate.
If Wu Zhiyuan was here, he would definitely recognize that this was the woman who asked her for help on the edge of the Yangtze River when he first arrived in Yucheng, especially her terrible roar before she died: You are accomplices of the murderer! Wu Zhiyuan may not be able to let go of this sentence for the rest of his life.
As Edmund Burke said, "The only necessary condition for evil to triumph is for the righteous to stand by!"
Yu Jing clutched the photo tightly and continued: "Her name is Yu Yan, and she is a good sister who grew up in the same village as me. Two months ago, I was going to work in Zhejiang, but I heard that there were many factories there, which was easy to get a job. At this time, Yu Yan suddenly went home, dressed in gold and silver, and asked me to come to Yucheng with her, she said that working in a factory, not to mention hard and tired, and the salary was low, it was better for the two sisters to work hard in Yucheng, and it was good to have a care. I thought about it, so I came to Yucheng with her. ”
Unexpectedly, after coming to Yucheng, the high-paying job in her mouth was to be a so-called account manager in a night club, singing with people, drinking, and even ...... Even accompany someone to bed. She also said that this is only the first stage, and when it is done, it can be reused, promoted, and can interact with those celebrities, fame and fortune, and when we have a certain amount of savings, we can go home in style, build a house for our family, and we can also start our own business, run a store by ourselves, and live a good life......"
Yu Jing said, tears fell quietly, but she didn't realize it at all.
"I didn't promise her, and in the end we had a fight, and I was about to go home, but unexpectedly, at this time, several men rushed in, took me away, and locked me in the warehouse. As I was taken away, I heard her interceding for me, calling my name, and that was the last voice I heard her. ”
Yu Jing said and spoke, and finally couldn't help it and cried. Zhang Yijie sighed again, handed her a tissue, and asked softly, "Can you tell me where you lived before?"
"Happy Community, 8 units, 8 buildings, 8 floors, 801 rooms." Yu Jing wiped away her tears and said after thinking for a while.
"Happy community?" Zhang Yijie thought for a while, looked up at Wang Jian who was standing beside him, "Go and find out whose name this house is, and then arrange for two people to go to the scene to see if they can find any clues." ”
"Team Zhang, no need! I know this house, it is a three-bedroom suite under Wang Wen's name, we have investigated, and we have also visited the surrounding residents, it is empty, nothing was found, there is only a family on the third floor of that building, and we didn't ask any useful clues! Wang Jian said on the side.
"Under Wang Wen's name?" Zhang Yijie frowned.
"That's right, Team Zhang!" Wang Jian suddenly remembered something, "On the night of the deceased's accident, the power supply in the happy community was cut off for a period of time, and the power supply was cut off. ”
"Did you get your fingerprints?" Zhang Yijie asked eagerly.
"Nope! That house has not been inhabited for at least a month, otherwise it would not be easy to find that anyone has entered it. Wang Jian shook his head.
Zhang Yijie was slightly disappointed, turned his head to Jing and said, "Do you have any relatives in Yu Yan's family?"
"There is also an old mother who can no longer see, it is my aunt!" Yu Jing was still sobbing.
Zhang Yijie stood up, patted her on the back gently, and said softly: "Don't worry, I will do my best to solve this case and give justice to the victim!" You stay here with Xiao Nannan, wait for her to wake up, so that she will not be afraid! Her parents came overnight last night, and it should be almost there, so you can hand her over to her parents when the time comes. Yu Yan's body will be cremated in the afternoon, so you can go to see her for the last time, after all, a sister, and by the way, take her ashes home and bury them! It's also a fallen leaf! ”
After Zhang Yijie finished speaking, he glanced at Wang Jian and strode towards the door.
"Team Zhang, where are you going?" Wang Jian asked after him.
"Go to the detention center and interrogate Hu Chengjiang!" Zhang Yijie said in a deep voice.
"Hu Chengjiang?"
"It's the perpetrator who killed Yu Yan!" Zhang Yijie said as he walked.
"Team Zhang, what about the things arranged by the Yang Bureau? Besides, you haven't washed your face yet! Or ......"
When Zhang Yijie heard this, he stared at Wang Jian, and said coldly: "In this series of murder cases, if there are still people who continue to commit crimes, and people continue to die, and there is no progress in the case, then what face do I need?"
After Zhang Yijie finished speaking, he didn't care about Wang Jian anymore, and walked towards the door with a tiger step, and at this moment, Yang Qingyun walked in, and the two almost collided.
"Team Zhang is in such a hurry, where are you going?" Yang Qingyun asked, holding a document in his hand.
"Go out, is there something wrong with the Yang Bureau?" Zhang Yijie's footsteps stopped.
"Oh! That's right, the people we sent to Liu Fang's house have news! Yang Qingyun said, handing the document to Zhang Yijie.
Zhang Yijie roughly flipped through it, and his face became more and more unsightly.
"The comrades of our criminal investigation team went over and prepared to arrest Liu Fang, but they didn't expect her to die at home. The preliminary judgment was that it was a suicide, and the time of death did not exceed 24 hours. also left a suicide note, which roughly talked about how she started a family and how she committed crimes. Involved in illegal detention, human smuggling, operating sex venues, buying murder, etc., the suicide note was all confessed. The incident of the No. 9 warehouse was also mentioned, and the girl who was hit by a car and died two days ago, and the suicide note specifically mentioned that the deceased's name was Yu Yan, and she sent someone to chase and kill her because she escaped. Liu Fang was so remorseful that she committed suicide in fear of sin! Yang Qingyun said beside him.
"Yang Ju is sure that this suicide note is Liu Fang's own handwriting?" Zhang Yijie stared at Yang Qingyun and said.
"Undoubtedly, the relevant departments have already identified it!" Yang Qingyun nodded and said affirmatively.
"This case is just a bit of an eyebrow, Liu Fang suddenly committed suicide, and left a suicide note, Yang Ju, don't you think this is trying to cover up?"
"At least I can give the public an explanation for the time being, the commotion in the past two days has been too big!" Yang Qingyun spread his hands and sighed.
"Confession?" Zhang Yijie sneered, "Does the Yang Bureau want to close the case?" Liu Fang is just a substitute for the dead ghost, the real murderer has not been caught, the public has confessed, but what about the victim? Yu Yan is still in the morgue, there are so many people on the street, and there is not a single witness! At first, it was treated as an ordinary traffic accident, can she die blindly? and Liu Feng, who is only eight years old, eight years old! What is his sin? was shot in the head, who will give him an explanation? Hum! ”
"It's useless for you to be angry with me! The case is serious, you have to take it one step at a time, right? Yang Qingyun looked bitter.
"Deputy Director Yang has been working hard for days, you are resting here, and by the way, I will appease the emotions of the women brought from the No. 9 warehouse, they need to make further records! I can't solve a case by sitting in the office! Zhang Yijie said, turning his head and Wang Jian let out a low voice, "Xiao Wang, let's go!" ”
"Young man! Ay! Yang Qingyun looked at Zhang Yijie's back as he strode away, sighed, and then walked into the office that originally belonged to him.
Zhang Yijie and the others set up the car and came to the detention center in the dust, at this time it was already dawn, the sky was still overcast, and only the wind kept blowing. As soon as they arrived at the door, Zhang Yijie and the others were stopped by two guards.
"Stop! What for? One of them shouted, swaggering.
"Our criminal investigation brigade came to interrogate a person." Wang Jian stepped forward and handed him the documents and formalities.
The guards restrained their expressions, took the documents in Wang Jian's hand, glanced at them casually, and said lightly: "It turned out to be the criminal investigation team, wait, I'll notify our leader!"
When Zhang Yijie heard this, his brows furrowed, but he didn't say anything.
After a while, an emaciated middle-aged man walked out, and when he saw Zhang Yijie and the others at a glance, he stepped forward enthusiastically and said: "It turned out that Captain Zhang was here, and the little one has never been far away, forgive me!"
"What a head, and a small one! Why does Director Shi sound like an underworld every word? Zhang Yijie snorted coldly, "Don't talk nonsense, I'll come over to interrogate Hu Chengjiang!" ”
"Hu Chengjiang?" The director of the detention center frowned.
"Why, Director Shi still doesn't let us see him?" It was Wang Jian who spoke, walked directly in front of him, and said in a cold voice.
"Ouch! How dare I! Team Zhang, you're from Beijing, how dare I slack off! Director Shi touched his chin and said curtly, "It's really unfortunate, Hu Chengjiang committed suicide last night and stabbed his throat with a toothbrush, and the body has been transported!" ”
"What?" Wang Jian directly lifted Director Shi's collar.
"I'm so sorry!" Director Shi said tremblingly.
"Forget it, Xiao Wang, let's go!" Zhang Yijie waved his hand to Wang Jian, and the two returned to the off-road vehicle.
"Liu Fang is dead, Hu Chengjiang is dead, they are all suicides, this is too coincidental, Team Zhang, what should we do next?" As soon as he got in the car, Wang Jian couldn't wait to ask.
"Let's go back first!" Zhang Yijie stepped on the accelerator, and the off-road vehicle galloped away, leaving only a place of smoke and dust.
"Walk slowly, don't send it!" Director Shi nodded behind him, seeing that the off-road vehicle was getting farther and farther away and disappearing in front of his eyes, he spat at the foam and said with pity, "Cut, what a thing!" ”
At this time, in a mansion in Yucheng Central, next to the swimming pool, there was a gentle middle-aged man, who was sipping tea comfortably, and next to him, a burly young man was standing.
"Chen Xi, that girl is okay!" The middle-aged man asked nonchalantly.
"It's fine!" The words of young people are very simple, neither humble nor arrogant.
"Hmmm! Tomorrow my partner is here, be sure to teach me well, don't make any more moths for me! The middle-aged man took a sip of tea and continued to ask, "What about Liu Fang?" Is it dealt with? ”
"It's all taken care of, boss!"
"Haha! Well, it's not in vain that I have worked hard to cultivate you, not bad! The middle-aged man laughed, and then his expression became calm again, "Go and bring Huang Li to see me, and cause my family Xiang'er to hurt like that, it's time to give me an explanation!" ”
"Yes! Boss! After the young man finished speaking, he left unhurriedly, his steps heavy and powerful.
After the young man left, the middle-aged man's eyes instantly became deep, he lifted the exquisite teacup, took a sip lightly, closed his eyes slightly, and said casually: "Good tea!"
P.S. Rushing to the manuscript with illness, rushing out a long chapter, it's late, sorry.
