Yan Ruyu stretched out his hand and patted Wu Cuo's head twice, "You can think so, the old man is very pleased." ”

"Get out!" Wu turned his head away, "Don't argue, I have a headache." ”

The recovery of the body lasted for three days, and the city hall even hired an excavator to dig out all the mud from the blisters.

The stench of Fruit Ridge was so bad that the birds weren't flying around there, and I wonder how the forensic doctors dug out the corpses from the mud that was swirling with all kinds of bugs.

It can't be called a corpse anymore, but it would be more appropriate to say that it is a scattered white bone.

No, more than one.

In total, the medical examiner found three skulls and three pelvic bones. Two adults, one child.

Unfortunately, the murder weapon, the hammer, was not found.

After an examination of the skeletal morphology, all three were male.

After screening and comparing the time of death and DNA, it was determined that the corpse with the latest time of death was Zhou Xizheng.

"First report the remaining two white bones to the database, notify the police station near Guoziling, see if there are any missing people reported around the time of death, and ask them to bring the DNA of the missing person to compare." Wu Cuo arranged his work in an orderly manner.

"Gotcha." Minghui immediately entered the state and took charge of external liaison. The rest went to the autopsy room.

Xu Xinger was examining Zhou Xizheng's bones, and when he saw Wu Cuo coming in, he said: "There are multiple blunt force wounds on the skull, and the wounds are concentrated on the face. ”

Wu mistakenly said: "Can you judge the characteristics of the murderer from the wound?" Like posture or something. ”

Xu Xinger shook his head, "The skull is not in good condition, many broken bones have been lost, and conventional methods will definitely not work, let me think about it." ”

Wu mistakenly said, "You bother", but his heart has sunk to the bottom.

He also saw the condition of the corpse, just a few dry bones, and if he wanted to identify the murderer based on this, it was simply embarrassing Lao Xu.

When Wu Cuo walked out of the autopsy room, Yan Ruyu was walking here, and as soon as he took a look, he asked, "I heard that the body was fished out?" ”

"Hmm."

"Let's go, interrogation."

"Do you have a way to pry Zhang Xiaochun's mouth open?"

"It's not a solution, it's just that I flipped through the cases of Zhang Shuping, read the trial results of a few similar cases, chatted with the judge in your name, and found something interesting."

Interrogation room.

Recently, Zhang Xiaochun has been spending more than ten hours in the interrogation room almost every day, and his whole body is lifeless, his eyes are glazed, and he seems to be about to merge with the chairs and walls in the room.

Yan Ruyu and Wu entered the room by mistake, and he didn't take a second look.

Yan Ruyu didn't care about his attitude, and said straight to the point: "I'll call home later, let your mother come to see you, the case is about to be over."

Zhang Xiaochun's eyes lit up, "Really? ”

"Yo, you can talk." After a pause, Yan Ruyu said, "Your father turned himself in, do you know about this?" ”

Zhang Xiaochun nodded.

"Whether he is a murderer or not, you know best."

Zhang Xiaochun didn't speak.

Yan Ruyu continued: "Four years ago, your father was diagnosed with stomach cancer and had a total gastrectomy, and then he was controlled by drugs until half a year ago, when the cancer cells were found out, and at that time it was already in the advanced stage of stomach cancer.

I don't know if it's lucky or unlucky, I killed a human life in vain, and I don't have to pay any price. ”

"Can I get out?" Zhang Xiaochun asked.

"Get out?" Yan Ruyu didn't even bother to give him a look at the fool, "You think too beautifully, your father did take the charge of murder, but it was only a homicide, and the subsequent disposal of the body and cleaning up the scene were all done by the two of you together."

At first, I couldn't understand why he didn't take all the blame and let you take secondary responsibility when he wanted to save you.

It wasn't until I checked the medical records that I understood that this was all he could do for you.

On the day of Zhou Xizheng's death, your father's gastrectomy operation had just been completed less than a month, so to speak, as soon as the old man was discharged from the hospital, he faced the situation of family falling apart, his daughter wanted to commit suicide, Zhou Xi was coming out from time to time to blackmail you, and then his daughter disappeared again, and his wife collapsed, not to mention a patient who had just undergone major surgery, even a normal person couldn't survive.

So, naturally, three days before Zhou Xizheng's death, you had sent the old man to the hospital.

Incision infection, high fever.

The doctor had to open the wound that the old man had already begun to heal and treat the pus.

This postoperative infection is the most painful to deal with, the patient will become very weak, the doctor suggested that the old man be hospitalized again, he refused, looked for his daughter with a high fever, and prepared a fake funeral for his daughter with you.

But his body really couldn't bear it, on the morning of the funeral, he still fainted, and there was an emergency record, I think the funeral was almost canceled, right? Is it the old man who insisted? He really loves his family, his wife, and you, and you, have you forgotten all of this, right?

Such a frail old man, who had been busy at the funeral for nearly a day, and finally arrived at the scene of the murder, did he still have the strength to pick up a hammer and kill a person? I'm skeptical.

However, this did answer my question, why didn't he say that he did the disposal of the body and clean up the scene by himself?

He couldn't say that, he knew that he couldn't do it at that time, and he would be exposed. He can only settle for the next best thing, and take the most critical criminal acts on himself.

In order to protect you, he really did everything. ”

Zhang Xiaochun's gaze began to become dull again, and it seemed that he was about to break the jar.

Yan Ruyu continued: "Of course, it doesn't matter what I suspect, at this juncture, the two suspects have all arrived, and the murder scene - your family's old house - has narrowed the scope of the murderer to two people.

When multiple suspects commit a crime together, there are many who pass the buck to each other, and there are many elders who shield the juniors.

Your situation, don't think it's special, who can stump it?

Truth be told, the judges have seen a lot.

At this time, the most important thing is the judge's attitude......"

Although Zhang Xiaochun deliberately looked away and didn't look at Yan Ruyu, he listened very carefully, and his eyes purred from time to time.

"Anyone can see that your dad is protecting the calf, and your dad is useless, terminally ill, out of humanitarianism, he has to be released for treatment after the sentence.

Of course, the judge is not stupid, so although your dad pleaded guilty, the final result is likely to be a heavy sentence for both of them, with 50 boards each. ”

Zhang Xiaochun frowned slightly.

Yan Ruyu sneered, "For homicide, if you are not sentenced to death, you will burn high incense."

I just want to remind you that we don't need any confession from you since your dad turned himself in, so just keep silent. ”

"No!" Zhang Xiaochun finally shouted.
