Chapter 70: Truth
I don't know if it was deliberately left by the murderer, there are a lot of traces in the hole, fingerprints, and shoe prints can be clearly found, but it will take some time to identify and compare.
Promise stood at the window, looking at the people in the interrogation room.
Zeng Jianrong sat quietly, no matter what he asked, he had to think about it for a long, long time, and then stared at people stupidly, but he didn't say a word, neither justifying himself nor admitting his guilt.
"Can you convict him?" Zhao Songquan asked.
"You saw him kill someone, he just painted, painting is not illegal, right?" Guan Yizhou retorted.
"But you didn't see that he didn't kill anyone, he cooperated with the murderer to commit the crime, and he was an accomplice."
"What about the evidence? We have no evidence. ”
Zhao Songquan took a puff of cigarette, he had to admit that Guan Yizhou's rebuttal was very reasonable, they really had no evidence in their hands, even Qin Cong, they didn't see Zeng Jianrong kill people directly.
Zeng Jianrong can also defend himself, he was coerced or hypnotized, and made paintings in an unconscious form.
After a while, Ouyang Ye brought a girl over, it was the daughter of Mu Ningqiu and Zeng Jianrong, they knew that Zeng Jianrong would not say anything, so they could only let him speak with affection.
The little girl obviously recognized him, and rushed over at once, crying and calling her father, Zeng Jianrong seemed to be a little moved.
"Our only request is for you to explain who the real murderer is." Ouyang Ye said at the right time.
Zeng Jianrong looked at his daughter, and then his eyes drifted to the promise, saying, "The only person who has really seen him is her." ”
Xu was a little stunned, why did this matter come to his head again? If she hadn't stayed at the police station all day, she would have become a suspect directly.
"How do you know I've seen him?"
After waiting for a long time, Zeng Jianrong didn't say a word.
At this time, Guan Yizhou said that there was news from the hospital, Lan Zhiyu woke up, and promised to ask Ouyang Ye to see it immediately, Ouyang Ye surprisingly agreed to let her go, but asked Brother Zhao to accompany him, and promised to readily agree.
Lan Zhiyu didn't suffer any substantial damage, she just fainted at the time, not only her, but the other women did not receive any substantial damage, as for whether she made the painting first, or died first, this statement is also different.
Zeng Jianrong's painting technique is very fast, in the case of Lan Zhiyi, he made the painting first, and then put the person in, while in the case of Shangguan Xinlan and Mu Ningqiu, Shangguan Xinlan was nailed to the wall first, and then the painting was made.
As for the reason for this, it must be related to the planner, regardless of whether Zeng Jianrong and Lan Zhiyi participated or assisted in the case, but the man in black is definitely the planner, the technique is clean and neat, the posture and demeanor are just right, and he has a very good grasp of every detail.
Only by standing outside the body and observing the overall situation can we find fault and examine the details one by one, this murderer is definitely a troublesome object.
After entering the house, Lan Zhiyu stared at her without blinking, as if he wanted to stare her out of a hole directly.
"Do you have something to say to me?" Xu Promise sat next to her and asked first.
Lan Zhiyu moved, struggling to sit up, promising to help her up and hold her cushion.
"Don't you remember?" Xu Promise paused for the task at hand, had he really been here before?
"I've forgotten a lot of things, but what happened at the time, can you tell me?"
Lan Zhiyu glanced at Zhao Songquan and didn't speak, Zhao Songquan found a reason to go out with interest.
"Zeng Jianrong was trapped in the cave for three years and couldn't get out, do you know what he ate in order to survive?"
Xu Promise looked at her in a daze, could it be that he was eating······
"Yes, you guessed right, it's human flesh."
Lan Zhiyi paused and continued: "Mu Ningqiu's case, Zeng Jianrong did not participate, he did it alone. After learning that they didn't hand you over, he tricked Mu Ningqiu out and coaxed Mu Ningqiu that he could take her to see Zeng Jianrong, and then watch Mu Ningqiu eat the poison. And that day, after Mu Ningqiu died, Zeng Jianrong ran out without knowing why, he watched from a distance as you carried Mu Ningqiu's body away, he probably wanted to do something, and was about to report to Shangguan Xinlan, but he didn't expect that Shangguan Xinlan had been nailed to the wall by that person. ”
According to that person's imperceptible hypnotic technique, it is entirely possible to trap Zeng Jianrong, but what role does Lan Zhiyu play in this matter, how can she know so clearly?
"What about you? Where have you been all these years? ”
Xu Yu was afraid of irritating her, so he asked softly.
"Me? I hid under Qiaodu Mountain for eight years, paying attention to every move there every day, until not long ago, he suddenly came to visit, forcing me to find Ouyang Ye and hand you over, Zeng Jianrong and I were just his slaves, that night, he was in the villa opposite, watching Ouyang Ye protect you tightly. ”
"So, that night, you were trying to use me to find the hole?"
Lan Zhiyu nodded and said, "That cave entrance, only you have entered it openly and honestly, and you came out unharmed, I guess, you must have some special way to find the cave directly." ”
"Can you tell me what happened to you that night eight years ago?"
Lan Zhiyi's hand suddenly clenched, her eyes were full of hesitation, it was obvious that this incident had a great impact on her, she closed her eyes, and finally opened her mouth.
"I was pulled into that stone house, I struggled with my backhand, trying to escape, but I was stabbed directly in the stomach, I watched my blood soaked in the police uniform, but I didn't close my eyes, I don't know if it hurts, just very, very scared. I saw him undress me, then kicked away the woman next to me, put me in the middle, I couldn't move, I could only watch as she cut my arteries, let my blood go, and finally stabbed me in the heart, I stared at the knife on my heart, and saw what he had been drawing on the ground, throwing me next to me like throwing away an unused toy. ”
Maybe it was very real for her at the time, but now, in the eyes of the promise, since she was okay now, it was obviously an illusion, and the illusion was too real to make her feel like she was in the middle of it, in horror.
"The moment before I closed my eyes, I saw you suddenly intruding, you looked at me in a panic, picked up the knife on the ground, and stabbed the man, and then, I didn't know anything. When I woke up again, I was already in the hospital, and I woke up intact, but in front of me, in my mind, all I could not get rid of, was full of blood, the feeling of blood slowly draining, the feeling of suffocation of a knife in my heart, all pressed on my body, making me more and more afraid. I was in a mental hospital, I saw you, you stood far away, waved at me, said you were going home, in the blink of an eye, you were gone, I knew, you must know everything. ”
Things are becoming more and more bizarre, and the promise is becoming more and more confused, eight years ago, did she come here, everyone's description, witness with her own eyes, why can't she remember?
Turning around, it's all back to me, what the hell is going on? Was everyone's eyes wrong, or was there something wrong with her memory?
Lan Zhiyu also seemed to have a lot of questions to ask her, but she could only regretfully tell Lan Zhiyu that she really didn't remember anything, Lan Zhiyu looked at her, nodded in disappointment, and didn't say anything.
After returning to the police station, from afar, I heard Guan Yizhou boasting to Yan Luoshu, saying that Ouyang Ye's ability was really impatient, and he actually pried out a lot of things from Zeng Jianrong's mouth.
Promise to look at the light and shadow in the distance, and the shadows of the trees that come down must hide the dark side that no one knows. She seems to be able to understand the reason why Zeng Jianrong didn't open his mouth, whether it was forced or not, eating this is a sin that is difficult to speak.
Ouyang Ye showed her the record, and he also marked out the key points very carefully, and even asked the reason for Zeng Jianrong and Mu Ningqiu's divorce.
It turned out that Mu Ningqiu inadvertently broke through the ghost cave once very early, but she didn't feel terrifying, she only felt that the painting was very good-looking, but she couldn't draw it, she described the appearance of that picture to Zeng Jianrong over and over again, especially late that night, she held the child and asked him to get up and draw that picture for her.
He asked her if she loved him or his painting skills, and she didn't even think about it, so she said, "I only love that painting."
He suddenly understood what she wanted, and the demonic image was completely deeply rooted in her mind, and she had no idea that it was a brutal murder.
He drew her that picture, and she agreed to a divorce.
He ran back and forth again and again, just to see her and the child, and every time she didn't care, it deeply hurt his heart, but he couldn't control himself, he didn't dare to remarry her, and he wandered in his thoughts.
Until that time, she was kidnapped, and in order to save her, he went to that cave, and then was trapped inside, never to get out.
Many things are already clear, as for Zeng Jianrong's judgment, that is the judge's business.
However, in this case, the real murderer was not found, and all the people did not relax for a moment, and in Zeng Jianrong's description, Xu Yu went to the cave once in the past three years, and almost fought with that person, he was a man after all, she was at a disadvantage, and the moment she was pushed off the cliff, what she was holding tightly in her hand was the black cloth that the person covered his face, so Zeng Jianrong thought that only Xu Yue saw his true face.
However, Xu Promise felt that this judgment might be wrong, regardless of whether she remembered that she had been to the cave or not, but Zeng Jianrong was in a state of hallucination at the time, and what she saw was not necessarily real.
