At nine o'clock in the evening, Xu Yi and I returned to the police station. The atmosphere in the police station was very depressing, and everyone already knew about Jiang Jun's accident. The deputy captain of the criminal police in charge told me that the person sent to Zhou Xiaoruo's school to investigate had returned, and no one knew how the painting in Zhou Xiaoruo's textbook came from.

They questioned many of Zhou Xiaoruo's classmates and teachers, and when they took out the photos of the painting, many of them were frightened. They also told us that the homes of the people brought back from the abandoned factory had been searched by the criminal police in charge.

Because there were too many people to sit in the interrogation room, the criminal police vacated many offices, and when I walked into the interrogation room, the criminal police were interrogating Zhou Guang and his wife. Zhou Xiaoyu, the child of Zhou Guang and his wife, was sitting outside waiting, he was crying very sadly, and as soon as Zhou Guang and his wife were arrested, the police station notified their relatives in accordance with the procedure.

Due to the strange behavior of Zhou Guang and his wife, the police have officially defined them as suspects.

Xu Yi and I were both dirty, and we were still stained with dirty water from an abandoned factory. After we came in, the criminal police officer in charge gave me a place, and everyone had gloomy faces, and Jiang Jun's affairs made everyone's mood not very good. I sat down in front of Zhou Guang and his wife, and before I could speak, Zhou Guang begged me to let them go.

Zhou Guang's wife was whimpering and crying, and her eyes were swollen.

The criminal policeman sitting next to me listened to the annoyance and slapped the table fiercely: "Shut up all for me!" Jiang Jun's injuries are all because of you, no matter how noisy you are, believe it or not, I will smash a big hole in your head! The criminal policeman said, deliberately clenched his fist, and was so frightened by the criminal police, Zhou Guang immediately closed his mouth.

He pointed to Zhou Guang's wife again: "And you, stop crying, if you haven't done anything bad, are you still afraid that we will wronged you?" ”

After the episode, Zhou Guang's emotions finally calmed down.

"Tell me, Zhou Xiaoruo was not killed by you." I asked with a blank face.

Zhou Guang immediately denied it, I had no substantive evidence for the time being, and after asking a tentative question, I changed the question. I asked them why they wanted to go to the abandoned factory, and they hesitated for a long time, and finally we were pressured to tell the truth. Mr. and Mrs. Zhou told me that they went to the abandoned factory just to make money.

They joined an organization, which was founded by the man who smashed Jiang Jun, and the criminal police told me that after interrogation, the identity of the man had been found out, and he was a native of Guangdong City, named Sun Zaiyun. Zhou Guang and his wife joined this organization by a friend by chance, and the friend claimed that Sun Zaiyun can do anything, whether it is seeking wealth or curing diseases, Sun Zaiyun can do it for others.

One word immediately popped into my head: cults.

Zhou Guang was confused, paid an entrance fee of 20,000 yuan, and joined Sun Zaiyun's organization. 20,000 yuan was not a small amount at that time, which shows how deeply Zhou Guang was confused. Zhou Guang said that the organization has a meeting every week, and at the meeting, everyone's faces will be painted with the "divine blood" of Sun Zaiyun's mouth.

Sun Zaiyun said that this "divine blood" could satisfy all their wishes, and Zhou Guang's absurd remarks attracted the ridicule of the criminal police present, and the identification results of the "divine blood" they applied to their faces had come out, and it was just ordinary duck blood. At this time, someone knocked on the door and came in, it was another criminal policeman, he was holding a file bag in his hand, and after handing it to me, he said that everyone else had completed the preliminary interrogation, and it was someone else's interrogation record.

I flipped through it, except for Sun Zaiyun, everyone has confessed truthfully, everyone's statement is similar to Zhou Guang, and everyone is an organization that has been confused. Sun Zaiyun refused to say anything, so I decided to ask Sun Zaiyun in person after I was done, and I felt that this person was not simple.

"Did Sun Zaiyun usually ask you to do anything?" I asked.

Zhou Guang nodded: "Will send us some books for us to read." ”

Me: "What book?" ”

Zhou Guang: "There are a lot, some about business, and some about healing. ”

Me: "No? ”

Zhou Guang said no, and I asked them why they passed out in the abandoned factory. Zhou Guang said that he and his wife suddenly woke up and wanted to quit the organization today, but Sun Zaiyun refused, and at the instigation of Sun Zaiyun, everyone knocked the two of them unconscious, and said that if we hadn't arrived in time, they wouldn't know what would have happened.

It was a period of the Strike Hard Campaign, and according to the relevant administrative regulations, it was a felony to join such an organization, especially the leader of the organization, Sun Zaiyun. If they really want to quit this organization, it is not impossible for Sun Zaiyun to kill people for fear that they will leak the news.

"Comrade policeman, we really know that we are wrong, please let us go." Zhou Guang pleaded with me again.

"Do you think you'll be able to get out so quickly by joining such an organization?" The detective sitting on my side slapped the table again.

Zhou Guang wailed, saying that he still had a child to take care of. Considering that Zhou Xiaoyu was still a minor, the criminal police promised Zhou Guang that the police station would take care of Zhou Xiaoyu for him in the past two days.

When he came out, Zhou Xiaoyu was still sitting outside, he took my hand and begged me to release his parents. I sighed and let people take Zhou Xiaoyu down.

Accompanied by the criminal police, I interrogated Sun Zaiyun. Sun Zaiyun sat on the chair, his legs crossed arrogantly, he was not afraid of the police at all, and he refused to say a word.

"If you are honest, the law may give you a light sentence." I said to Sun Zaiyun.

Sun Zaiyun was very disdainful: "What about the law, I still eat when I go in, and after I come out, I still make money like this!" ”

Sun Zaiyun not only has no intention of repenting at all, but also has a very bad attitude, he founded such an organization, he was convicted, plus he was suspected of intentional injury, he didn't want to think about it for more than ten years.

"Why did you choose an abandoned factory?" I asked.

When asking this question, Xu Yi also set his eyes on Sun Zaiyun's face.

Sun Zaiyun: "I can choose where I want, you can take care of it?" ”

Sun Jae-yun didn't cooperate at all, and there was no way for the questioning to continue.

In desperation, Xu Yi and I walked out, and the police are investigating further information about Sun Zaiyun.

Standing in the hallway, I lit a cigarette. Xu Yi said that maybe it was just that Sun Zaiyun's case happened to involve an abandoned factory, and if it couldn't be found, there was no need to investigate it again. And Xu Yi felt that Zhou Guang and his wife did not have anything to do with Zhou Xiaoruo's death, because there was no evidence that Zhou Guang and his wife had a motive to kill Zhou Xiaoruo.

I didn't jump to conclusions too early because the detectives who searched the group's homes hadn't come back yet.

After a cigarette, the group of criminal policemen finally returned, and as Zhou Guang said, a lot of books were indeed found in everyone's home. These are just very ordinary books, about business, about curing diseases and health, you can buy them for a few dollars in a second-hand bookstore, and everyone has paid a membership fee of 20,000 yuan for these books.

I focused on the books I had recovered from Zhou Guang's house, and I was reluctant to give up any clues, so I flipped through them one by one with gloves on. There were dozens of books, large and small, and it took a long time to turn them page by page, during which several detectives advised me not to read them again, saying that they were just ordinary books.

As they spoke, I finally realized that something was wrong.

The cover of one book was no different from the other books, but a few pages were not very flat compared to the others, as if they had been dismantled and reglued. I flipped through the pages, and sure enough, there were traces of rebonding. I looked at the contents of these pages carefully, and all the records on them were the methods of sacrifice and punishment of the ancient primitive tribes, and the most shocking thing to me was that there was a way to peel the skin.

The people of the primitive tribe believed that by peeling off the human skin and inserting the bamboo pole into the body to hang it, the human soul could be completely wiped out, which could not only play a role in punishment, but also would not have a wronged soul to ask for life.

"Quick, look through all the pages, page by page, and see if anyone else's book has the content on this page!" After I showed the contents of the page to the others a few times, I strode forward with the book and I thought of a possibility......
