"If you kill someone, even if you deny it, I will find evidence to convict you." My tone was firm: "But if you don't kill, even if there is more evidence against you, I will exonerate you, provided that you fully cooperate with me." ”

Sun Zaiyun lowered his head, he was thinking about it. At this time, a criminal police officer sent me a file, and he quietly told me that this was Sun Zaiyun's details. Due to the rush before, the police only investigated Sun Zaiyun's name and household registration, and no other further information was investigated.

I opened Sun Zaiyun's information, Sun Zaiyun is a native of Guangdong City, 42 years old, his parents died when he was a child, he has only one elder brother, and he lives in a small town in Guangdong City, but it is said that Sun Zaiyun and his brother broke up a few years ago, and the police called to inform his brother, and the other party hung up the phone in anger.

It is worth noting that Sun Zaiyun has been in prison three times, once for theft and twice for robbery. I now kind of understand why Sun Jae-woon did not cooperate with the police investigation in this way, because his criminal record made him hate the police. I closed the information and asked Sun Zaiyun if he had thought about it.

Sun Zaiyun was just about to speak, the door of the interrogation room was opened again, and it was Xie Jing who came in, and he did not come with me to interrogate Sun Zaiyun. Xie Jing shouted to me excitedly: "Professor Li, Zhou Guang and his wife admit that they killed Zhou Xiaoruo. ”

I was stunned, Zhou Guang and his wife were still crying and denying it last night, why did they suddenly change their words today?

Before I could react, Xie Jing pointed at Sun Zaiyun again, and he said that Zhou Guang and his wife also admitted that the book was given to them by Sun Zaiyun privately, in order to plot to kill Zhou Xiaoruo, who knew the truth. Hearing this, Sun Zaiyun finally became anxious, his two handcuffed hands slammed on the table, and scolded Xie Jing: "Dead policeman, don't talk nonsense!" ”

Sun Zaiyun finally realized the seriousness of the situation, he turned around and said to me anxiously: "I admit everything else, but I didn't kill anyone, and I don't want to be sentenced to death!" ”

"You still want to quibble!" Xie Jing was annoyed and yelled.

I stood up and stopped Xie Jing, and I told him that I was going to interrogate Zhou Guang and his wife again in person. Xie Jing glared at me and started a fire: "What do you mean by this, are you suspecting that I lied to you?" ”

I didn't answer Xie Jing's words directly, I told him that Wang Xin had also handed over the case to me, and I could make my own decisions. Xie Jing was angry, but then he was relieved, and he looked at me mockingly: "I want to see how embarrassed you are about to be a famous professor!" ”

After Xie Jing finished speaking, he walked out without looking back, he meant to let me go by myself.

Due to the conflict between me and Xie Jing, the other criminal policemen on the side did not dare to speak, Sun Zaiyun finally believed me, he swore to me that he did not kill anyone, and begged me to help him. I nodded, and asked him to wait for me here, I had to go and see what happened to Zhou Guang and his wife first.

There must be something wrong with them changing their confessions so abruptly and making incriminating confessions. When I came out, Xu Yi secretly asked me if it was Xie Jing who tortured Zhou Guang and his wife to extract a confession, and I was so suspicious in my heart, but when I met Zhou Guang and his wife, I denied this idea.

Outwardly, they were not injured.

I was not at ease, and expressed my attitude to Zhou Guang and his wife: "You just need to tell the truth, if someone persecutes you, I will seek justice for you." ”

Zhou Guang sighed, he said that no one forced them, they figured it out themselves. Zhou Guang said that his big mistake had been made, and he hoped to accept the punishment of the law, get the forgiveness of his brother's family, and also hoped that his children would not be affected by him. Zhou Guang burst into tears, and as soon as he cried, his wife also cried.

"Okay, since no one is persecuting you, then tell me what your motive was for killing Zhou Xiaoruo, as well as the process and location of the killing." I asked.

Zhou Guang spoke without even thinking about it.

He said that our previous analysis was very correct, when Zhou Xiaoruo was playing at their home, he overheard the conversation between the husband and wife, and learned that they had joined this kind of organization. Zhou Guang explained to me that Zhou Xiaoruo was 14 years old, and the school often propagated the idea of resisting cults, so Zhou Xiaoruo knew the horror of such organizations.

Zhou Guang's explanation made my confession even more suspicious, but I didn't interrupt him and let him continue.

Zhou Guang said that after they were found out about joining the cult, they immediately went to find Sun Zaiyun, so Sun Zaiyun gave Zhou Guang the book and asked him to kill Zhou Xiaoruo. Zhou Guang tried to lure Zhou Xiaoruo out many times, but Zhou Xiaoruo looked at him like a ghost, and didn't dare to open the door at all.

On the day of the move, Zhou Guang asked his wife to deliberately support their children, and he went in and out of the back wall, in order to avoid all the cameras in the community, and waited for Zhou Xiaoruo to go home at the dark entrance of the building, and after Zhou Xiaoruo came back, he beckoned Zhou Xiaoruo to go over, saying that as long as he kept it a secret for him, he would take him out to buy things immediately. But Zhou Xiaoruo was still very scared and didn't listen to his coaxing at all. So Zhou Guang waited there, and finally, Zhou Xiaoruo opened the door and came out, Zhou Guang was overjoyed, because Zhou Xiaoruo finally took the bait.

After that, Zhou Guang excused himself to go home to withdraw the money and asked Zhou Xiaoruo to go out of the community to wait for him, and he climbed over the wall and went out of the community.

"When you go out to buy something, why does Zhou Xiao want to change into a clean school uniform that he doesn't like?" I asked.

Zhou Guang couldn't answer, he said that he didn't know what Zhou Xiaoruo thought.

I remained silent and asked, "The location of the killing and the skinning process." ”

Zhou Guang said that the place where he killed Zhou Xiaoruo's body was found was the same place where Zhou Xiaoruo's body was found, and they killed and skinned Zhou Xiaoruo according to the method taught by Sun Zaiyun, and also pierced Zhou Xiaoruo's body with a bamboo pole and hung it on the hillside. After that, they replaced all the bloody sand and soil from the scene and cleaned up the traces of the scene.

I felt more and more that something was wrong, "What about the tools of the crime?" ”

"Thrown."

"Where?"

Zhou Guang lowered his head and thought for a long time, and finally rubbed his temples and replied that I was too nervous at that time, and he had forgotten where he threw it. When it came to the details of the peeling, he also didn't explain it clearly on the grounds that he was too nervous to remember clearly.

After Zhou Guang finished speaking, I didn't speak immediately, the interrogation room was very quiet, and I could hear everyone's breathing clearly. Zhou Guang's breathing was steady, not at all like lying, and his wife was sobbing all the time.

I kept staring at Zhou Guang, and Zhou Guang didn't avoid my eyes.

"Tell me, what's going on with that painting?" I asked.

Zhou Guang was stunned for a moment and asked me, "What painting?" ”

I stood up, and I told Zhou Guang that the interrogation was over. Before going out, I turned my back to Zhou Guang and said, "Although I don't know why you say that, I will find out ...... fact."

After coming out, Xie Jing stood outside waiting for me, he asked me very proudly if I had asked what was wrong, I didn't want to deal with him, so I just bypassed him and left. I called Wang Xin and asked him for a few people he trusted, and soon, these people came to the office to find me.

I assigned them tasks: one person went to check the surveillance cameras at the gate of the community and the door of Zhou Guang's house on the day of Zhou Xiaoruo's disappearance, another took people to look for traces of Zhou Xiaoruo's body, and the other took a book recording the skinning method to the identification department for testing.

After explaining the task, I came to Sun Zaiyun again, he has been waiting for me for a long time. When he saw me come in, he stood up nervously and asked me how I was doing. I told Sun Zaiyun everything Zhou Guang said to me, and he was furious when he heard it, and he cursed very ugly words in his mouth.

After Sun Zaiyun's anger was all vented, I asked him again very seriously: whether he really did not instigate or plot murder.

Sun Jae-yun replied with certainty that he didn't, and asked me to help him.

Sun Zaiyun was not afraid of going to prison, but he was afraid of the death penalty, so he mastered his mind, and the next interrogation went very smoothly. Sun Zaiyun said that he had been setting up the organization for two years, and that he had found a lot of targets, observed their lives for a long time, and then made chance encounters and calculated what had happened to them, and in this way, some superstitious people believed what he said.
