The criminal police rummaged through the information for Xu Yi and me for a long time, and finally found the contact information of Sun Zaiyun's brother again, his name is Sun Xiang, and he is close to fifty years old. After dialing Sun Xiang's phone, it took a long time for someone to answer, and a very slow-talking man's voice came from the receiver, asking who I was.

"Hello Mr. Sun Xiang, I have something I want to ask you." I spoke very politely.

But the other party didn't appreciate it, and the strange thing was that I didn't even indicate my identity, and Sun Xiang guessed it. He said that if we were for his brother's business, there would be no need to say more, and he also said that Sun Jae-yun's life and death had nothing to do with him. I didn't even have time to say more, Sun Xiang hung up the phone.

When I dialed it again, the phone was no longer available.

Xu Yi sighed, "Is there no way?" ”

I thought about it carefully and found Wang Xin. Wang Xin agreed to my request without even thinking about it, and I borrowed some people from him. Some of them went to investigate the information about the abandoned factory, and some went to Sun Xiang. The police had previously found Sun Xiang's family based on the household registration information, but Sun Xiang's neighbors all said that Sun Xiang had moved a month ago and the household registration information had not been updated, so the police had no way to find out where Sun Xiang was for the time being.

As for Sun Xiang's phone number, his neighbor also gave it to the police. The criminal police told us that Sun Xiang's home was very broken, because they were only routinely arresting and informing the family, so they did not investigate in detail.

After the assignment was assigned, we had to wait slowly in the police station. Since the factory has been abandoned for a long time, it is not so easy to find out the information of the factory, and it is not a simple matter to find Sun Xiang, so we have not been able to wait for any good news all day.

Jiang Jun didn't go back to the police station until we were about to go back to Wang Xin's house, and when I asked him where he went, he wouldn't say.

After returning home, Jiang Jun locked himself in his room without even eating.

"Jiang Jun, what's wrong?" Xu Yi looked at Jiang Jun's confined door and asked.

We were eating at the dining table, Wang Xin glanced in the direction of Jiang Jun's room, shook his head and said that he didn't know either, but he told us not to worry. Originally, Wang Xin and I were going to discuss with Jiang Jun at dinner time about letting him follow me, but in this way, we didn't have a chance to talk about it.

When I went back to the room, Xu Yi leaned on the bed very worriedly, I didn't pay attention to it at first, but slowly, Xu Yi's face became very ugly, and after questioning, she said that she was thinking about what happened to her disappearance for a few years. Looking at her pale face, I comforted her and told her not to think about it if she had a headache.

But Xu Yi shook her head, and her expression became very serious.

"Li Ke, I don't want to be your burden anymore." Xu Yi took my hand and said.

I was stunned: "Xu Yi, what are you talking about." ”

Xu Yi sighed, she said that she felt that since she came back, she was not the same as before. After a few cases, instead of helping me, she caused me trouble and even danger several times, and she didn't want to do it again, so she decided to cheer up.

To be honest, Xu Yi is indeed different from her before.

Before her disappearance, Xu Yi was also very thoughtful, and often brought me unexpected help, but now, she has been completely affected by the vague memories in her head. She is still a person who has been declared missing, and if I hadn't asked Zhao Da for a certificate from the public security organ, she wouldn't even be able to take the train.

"Xu Yi, I didn't treat you as a burden." The reason why I will investigate is because of Xu Yi, she is my girlfriend, and there have been so many dangers, no matter where I go, I will take her with me.

Xu Yi still insisted on her statement, saying that she must cheer up and not cause me any more trouble. After saying that, Xu Yi lay down on her side, I called her a few times and she didn't answer, but I knew that Xu Yi was pretending to be asleep, because her breathing was not very steady.

I sighed, turned off the light and lay down.

When we went out of the house the next day, Jiang Jun left home early in the morning, and when we arrived at the police station, Jiang Jun did not come to the police station. After Wang Xin listened, he made a call to Jiang Jun on the landline in the office, Jiang Jun did not answer, Wang Xin, who had been calm, finally got angry, he put the earpiece on fiercely, and asked people all over the police station, but no one knew where Jiang Jun went.

Wang Xin slapped the table and shouted angrily: "A criminal police officer of the criminal police brigade is inexplicably playing missing, in case there is any urgent task!" ”

Several other criminal policemen in Wang Xin's office didn't even dare to breathe, and I knew from their appearance that Wang Xin definitely didn't lose his temper often. After losing his temper, Wang Xin asked everyone to report the latest progress of Zhou Xiaoruo's skinning case.

After investigation, some teachers and students finally remembered that there was a time when Zhou Xiaoruo was a little abnormal compared to usual. That period of time happened to be the time when the old man died, and because of the long time, everyone couldn't remember it clearly, and it took a lot of effort for the criminal police to get this confession that had a great effect.

During that time, Zhou Xiaoruo often wandered in class, and he sat in the classroom after class and did not go out for activities, but after about two weeks, Zhou Xiaoruo slowly returned to normal. In normal times, this confession may not play a role in proof, but if it is combined with the surveillance footage of this case and Zhou Xiaoyu's confession, it plays a role in indirect supporting evidence.

Whether it was intentional or not, the old man's death did have something to do with Zhou Xiaoruo, and Zhou Xiaoruo was also worried because of this, but maybe it was because of the long time, no one found out about this matter, he finally put his mind at ease, and his mood slowly returned to normal.

There was also the scalpel brought back from the first crime scene and the human skin of Zhou Xiaoruo's body, and the identification department also gave a further identification report. All kinds of evidence point to the fact that the person was indeed killed by Zhou Xiaoyu.

Zhou Guang and his wife screamed in the detention room all day long, saying that they were the murderers, and asked the police to release Zhou Xiaoyu, but to no avail. Xie Jing told me that whenever he saw the photos of Zhou Xiaoruo's body and the broken eyes of Zhou Sheng's parents, he wanted to kill Zhou Xiaoyu.

Zhou Xiaoyu's household registration information clearly records Zhou Xiaoyu's date of birth, and those numbers should be the last people in the police station want to see at this moment.

Xie Jing originally wanted to start with whether Zhou Xiaoyu was in the same party or whether someone instigated him, but he failed, and he simply did not have enough evidence to support his conjecture. Although the case has not yet been handed over to the procuratorate for prosecution, everyone has already thought of the outcome, and no one will be criminally responsible for this cruel criminal case except for civil compensation.

Xie Jing and I both asked people to investigate the person who pried open the door of Zhou Guang's house in the surveillance footage, and the people in the entire community asked all over it, but no one knew who that person was. His purpose is unknown, and judging from the current clues, it is likely that he pasted the contents of the book about peeling.

Xie Jing also doubted whether it was that person who instigated Zhou Xiaoyu to kill people, but Zhou Xiaoyu denied it, and then thought about it, if that person could really instigate Zhou Xiaoyu to kill, there was no need to sneak into Zhou Xiaoyu's house and glue those pages, and it would be faster to give the method directly to Zhou Xiaoyu.

That's when I got a phone call.

"I want to see Zhou Xiaoyu." After hanging up, I made a request.

Xie Jing was very happy to hear this, "Do you have a way to get him to change his confession?" ”

I shook my head: "Based on the current evidence, there is no evidence at all to say that someone instigated him." "I don't want to believe that a kid of this kind can do this, but I'm telling the truth," but this is the last chance. ”

Since the case was solved that night, I haven't seen Zhou Xiaoyu again, and Wang Xin directly agreed. Under the leadership of Xie Jing, Xu Yi and I met this child. He was sitting quietly at his desk with his head bowed, his back to a window that was sealed with iron railings.

Sunlight shone in from the outside, leaving a projection of him on the table.

After we came in, Xie Jing called him a few times, but Zhou Xiaoyu still lowered his head, we couldn't see his expression clearly, listening to his even breathing, I was more sure of the thought in my heart......
