Chapter XXIII: Valley of the Dead 8
At the moment when I was about to despair, Xiao Ke surprised us, and the four of us quickly dug up, exposing the kitchen of Duan Yu's hometown.
Four heads! The bones of four adults!
The head and other bones were there, and there was no sign of dismemberment on the bones, and all four of them died in Duan Yu's kitchen.
I felt a sense of accomplishment, but the scene in front of me was a bit shocking. We took good photos, fixed the position of the bones, extracted some bones and took them back for DNA testing and routine poison testing, and began to return to the ground.
After a stressful day of adventure, the speedboat was carrying us towards the dam, and I suddenly felt a little bit of affection for the island, didn't I? The first time I saw this island, it was like a familiar thing to me.
We shifted our attention to Duan Yu in the disappearance case, but Duan Yu is dead, and this mystery is probably going to be a mystery forever, even if it can be established that Qi Meng was indeed at home that night, not as reflected in the materials, she came back before the reservoir was impounded, and she did have dinner with her grandparents and parents that night, she may know about Duan Yu's killing of her family, what can she do? After all, Qi Meng is also dead.
We bought our plane tickets and were going to go back tomorrow, and of course they could handle the interrogation themselves. Out of curiosity, I offered to meet this sharp-eyed man that night, and Xiao Ke agreed, and we went to the felon's interrogation room together, Wu Ping sat in the interrogation chair, handcuffed on his wrists, and shackled on his ankles, his sharp eyes became dull, and I sat across from him, across a large rectangular table, and I looked at him and didn't say a word.
Xiao Ke asked, "How?" Still don't want to make it clear? ”
Wu Ping sat silently, as if he was asleep, without raising his head.
There is a kind of person like this, you ask you, he doesn't answer you, he thinks that in this way he can evade responsibility, in fact, as long as we have something in our hands, we are not afraid that he will not say anything.
I look at him half-dead, as if he is going to fight to the end, in fact, now I understand in my heart that according to the current situation, the killing of Qi Meng's family should have nothing to do with him, it is nothing more than to figure out his criminal motive for killing Qi Meng and Duan Yu, why did he admit to killing but not confess the motive for the crime?
I fell into deep contemplation again, is there anything unspeakable about Wu Ping? I couldn't figure it out. Generally speaking, since he confessed to the murder, and he killed two people, it was obvious that he would be sentenced to death, so why would he conceal the motive for the crime? Could it be a moral dilemma? There are often suspects who are saddled with moral shackles and would rather die than confess their moral corruption.
My heart suddenly lit up, in terms of motives, why did I first suspect that he had killed Qi Meng and killed Duan Yu by the way? Isn't it just affected by the disappearance of Qi Meng's family?
My original train of thought was that Wu Ping killed Qi Meng, and Qi Meng's family disappeared, so Wu Ping may have something to do with the disappearance case, Wu Ping killed Qi Meng to cover up the disappearance, and Wu Ping's main purpose in killing Qi Meng this time was to kill Qi Meng, and by chance killed Duan Yu by the way.
Such a psychological stereotype makes me suspect that Wu Ping is only targeting Qi Meng, but now Wu Ping has no direct relationship with the disappearance case, and the entire chain of analysis is broken, that is, Wu Ping's murder this time is not necessarily aimed at Qi Meng, but it may also be Duan Yu!
Yes, if it was aimed at Duan Yu and killed Qi Meng by the way, why couldn't it be like this?
Or was the killing against two people? Qi Meng and Duan Yu?
I racked my brains and thought, under what circumstances would Wu Ping kill them?
Some motives must be clarified by Wu Ping, otherwise it is impossible to imagine, and I began to interrogate Wu Ping: "Wu Ping, why did you kill them? ”
Wu Ping may have heard a girl's voice and was stunned for a moment, but he sat there and didn't move, and he still didn't react.
I think there must be something unspeakable, if you are tough, he may be tougher than you, maybe for his situation, he may be more cooperative, and it is also a common heart attack technique used by Liu Da, so I said: "Wu Ping, now the facts of the crime are ironclad, you must not be able to escape responsibility, there are some things that only you know, if you don't say it, you will be held in your stomach, it will be uncomfortable, maybe if you say it, it will be better." ”
When Wu Ping saw me say this, his eyes seemed to have some light, and it turned out that his sharp eyes had something to say.
Wu Ping said that he wanted to smoke a cigarette, Xiao Ke lit it for him, he took a deep breath, as if he hadn't smoked for ten years, he spat out a smoke ring, and then said, "She is my little mistress." ”
I was taken aback, this is something I never expected, did Wu Ping want to complicate the problem and reduce his guilt from the motive?
I asked suspiciously, "Are you talking about Qi Meng?" ”
Wu Ping replied, "Yes, it's Qi Meng. ”
Wu Ping took another puff of cigarette and continued: "She's not a good thing, she got along with me only a month after she came back this time and got married, and then Duan Yu found out about us at my house and wanted to kill me, so I killed both of them together." ”
Is that so? It seemed to make sense from a reasonable point of view, so I continued to ask: "Why did Qi Meng get along with you after a month of marriage?" ”
Wu Ping was silent, I knew that there was a new problem here, it was impossible for a woman to be married for a month and get along with a bearded neighbor for no reason.
Wu Ping didn't speak for a long time, and I began to ask the following question: "Then why did you dump their bodies in the reservoir?" ”
As soon as Wu Ping heard the reservoir, he seemed to be very sensitive, he was stunned again, the cigarette in his hand almost fell off, and he said angrily: "Where you come from, go back, this woman is definitely not a good person!" ”
Wu Ping calmed down for a moment and said, "You think I'm a bad person, but in fact, I was killed by this woman." Three years ago, what happened under the reservoir in the Valley of the Dead, if you don't talk about it, you won't believe it. ”
What's going on under the reservoir? Could it be that it's about Qi Meng's family? Is Wu Ping still related to this matter?
I wanted to test the truth, so I followed his words: "We all know what is going on under the reservoir, you carved the four words on the back door of your house, right?" ”
Wu Ping's expression was a little flustered and a little excited, he seemed to be about to drown someone who grabbed the straw: "Yes, I carved it, I originally wanted to be a good person after I was released from prison, but this life was too hard, so I encountered that." ”
Wu Ping raised his head and looked at me with suspicion: "Have you really gone to the reservoir?" It's incredible, and I'm sure you'll prove my innocence! ”
Wu Ping looked up to the sky and cried: "But but, what's the use of this, I have already killed two people, and this woman hurt me!" ”
I knew that the attack had already begun to work, and it seemed that he had let go of his baggage, so I comforted him and said, "If you can cooperate with us honestly, we will also try our best to help you." ”
When Wu Ping calmed down, he began to tell his story: "Here's the thing, the night before the immigration, in fact, the last group of people was left with the Qi Meng family, and the others had already moved to the immigrant village one after another, and I had already moved away, and the few in Qi Meng's family were all old and stubborn, and they had to leave on the last day." ”
"I was reluctant to build that house, which was built with the money I earned from honest part-time work after I was released from prison, and I couldn't move it away, and I was about to fall silent under the water, and I was distressed, so I went back from the migrant village that night to take one last look, and when I got back there, it was already dark."
"When I walked under the big camphor tree, I heard Qi Meng's house seemed to be quarrelling, so I leaned over and listened, but I didn't expect that Qi Meng and Duan Yu were quarrelling, Duan Yu was scolding Qi Meng for being crazy, how could he do such a thing that exterminated the family, Qi Meng said that it was not for her to marry Duan Yu, so she had to do this kind of thing, and said that the rest of the things were for Duan Yu to deal with, otherwise she would turn her face with him."
"I listened outside for a while, and I didn't know what was going on inside, and then I heard someone smashing things inside, and I felt that the conflict was about to escalate. I hesitated, although I didn't have much friendship with Qi Meng's family, but I thought that when we were neighbors, we always had to persuade them when they quarreled, and we were still neighbors in the newly assigned houses in the immigrant village. So, I pushed open the door of her house and walked in, they didn't seem to hear me entering, maybe they didn't expect anyone else in the village, I heard them arguing in the kitchen, so I walked into their kitchen, and as soon as I entered, I was stunned. ”
"There are four corpses lying on the ground in the kitchen, they are Qi Meng's grandparents, parents and parents, I realized why they quarreled just now, when I was six gods and no master, Duan Yu took a kitchen knife and rushed over, I realized that he was going to kill people, and when he pounced, where was he my opponent, I grabbed his kitchen knife with my empty hand, stuck his neck with one hand, and pressed the kitchen knife on his neck with the other hand, but then Qi Meng said, if you kill Duan Yu, I will go to the police, saying that you did all four on the ground, No matter how you plead, who will believe you, a thief, will depend on who the police believe. ”
"Where do I want to kill someone, I was scolded by Qi Meng, I think it seems to make sense, after I came out of prison, I often felt the distrust of others, so I let go of Duan Yu, Qi Meng said that if I dare to make a public announcement about it outside, I will rely on my head for those four corpses, just like that, I was cheated by her for three years."
After listening to Wu Ping's explanation, I thought to myself, things seem to be like that, but the most critical location of the corpse is wrong, Wu Ping said that it was in the kitchen of Qi Meng's house, and the location of the body we found in the water was in Duan Yu's house.
So I asked, "Wu Ping, are you sure you saw the corpse in Qi Meng's kitchen?" ”
Wu Ping said: "I'm sure I will never forget this kind of thing for the rest of my life." ”
