Chapter 385 - A Shocking Turn of Events!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
On a bench outside the police interrogation room, Zhou Ze and An sat side by side.
It was very lively outside the police station. The media who had heard the news were like sharks who had smelled blood. They crowded together, but they were all stopped.
The police station gave the explanation that the case was still under investigation. They would hold a press conference later to announce some details of the case. Of course, the reporters would not be idle either, at this time, they could also rush the draft and bring the public back to the body dumping case that happened in Tongcheng 16 years ago.
Of course, some reporters were still discussing how to spread the news in order to get more attention,
for example:
“Why did the lonely old man become a murderer?”
“The indifference of children and society turned the old man into a Demon?”
“Dig out the truth behind the old man becoming a murderer!”
“If you want to cry, Save Our Old Man!”
..
The old man wanted to commit suicide, but Zhou Ze saved him. Of course, the reason for saving him was definitely not to let him live, but to feel that such a straightforward way of dying was indeed too easy for him.
This case could be said to be solved very quickly,
at the same time,
it could also be said that it was solved very slowly.
The thin and tall female criminal police officer passed two cups of coffee, then sat down on the chair opposite Zhou Ze and began to send messages. Although the murderer was caught, there were still many details that needed to be dealt with in this case.
“Have you found the identities of the two victims in the house?”Zhou Ze asked.
“Not at the moment, but it should be soon. Because the time of death was relatively short, the original employer should not have noticed the disappearance of the two people.
“However, according to the statements of the other residents in the apartment, the couple should be a young couple or a couple. Because they often saw them buying vegetables and bringing them back, they should be working in Tongcheng, “They rented and lived in Yang Kewang’s house.”
Yang Kewang was the name of the old man.
“However, Yang Kewang must have done a very detailed treatment after the murder. Our investigators were unable to find any clues in the house that could prove the identity of the deceased, such as cell phones, ID cards, and so on. They did not find a single one.”
“It’s been 16 years, and the body is right in front of us. It’s actually so difficult to find the identity of the deceased.”
Zhou Ze sighed,
after all.,
this wasn’t some mountainous road, such as Xichuan or the highway in Tibet. To be honest, cutting people to death and throwing them into the ditch on the side of the road was really the best place to destroy the body.
But this was Tongcheng, a modern city with a dense population in the coastal area.
“In another 16 years, this problem will probably be solved. When the identity information collection is further spread, and the whole population is covered, things will be simple.
“But don’t worry, it’s only a matter of time before we find out their identities.”
Just as he finished his sentence.,
the female criminal police officer’s cell phone rang. She picked up the call and said to Zhou Ze,
“The identities of the two deceased have been verified. They are a young couple from XX province who went to Tongcheng to work.”
Zhou Ze nodded. The female criminal police officer immediately went to report the news and got up to leave.
Zhou Ze reached out and gently rubbed the bridge of his nose.
“People are really not that precious,”Lawyer An said. “Don’t look at how the lives of modern people seem to be very fulfilling
But in reality.,
if you don’t order takeout, receive express delivery, or log in to the chat APP.,
just leave your phone there.,
see if he’ll make a call in a day.
In this world, there are celebrities, famous people, and big shots, but most people are actually dust, like leeks planted by the roadside.
There’s really not much difference between being there and not being there.
“In most people’s lives, they just come quietly and then go quietly.”
“What exactly do you want to say?”Zhou Ze looked at Lawyer An and asked.
“What I want to ask is, don’t the muscles on your arm hurt?”As he said this, Lawyer A grabbed Zhou Ze’s arm and rolled up his sleeve. “That old man may be short, but if you hold him with one hand, your muscles will be pulled, right?”
“Yes.”
“Let me help you massage.”
Lawyer An began to massage Zhou Ze’s arm,
needless to say.,
it was really effective,
the arm that had felt slightly torn from the tug gradually began to stop hurting.
“You’re quite suitable to open a massage parlor.”
“You’re also quite suitable to open a lock-picking company.”
At this moment.,
Old Zhang walked over with a stack of things in his hands,
when he saw the two men pulling and pulling on the bench in front of him.,
Old Zhang suddenly felt a little sick in his heart. He coughed to show that he existed.
However, the two men still went their own way.
“He confessed, right?”Zhou Ze asked.
“He confessed everything. His attitude was very cooperative. He said that his only hope was to reward him with a peanut as soon as possible, so his confession attitude was very sincere.”
Hearing these words, Zhou Ze suddenly felt a little boring,
he even lost the intention to personally punish that guy.
A person who had long lost all hope, a person who was bent on death, it was very difficult to torture him to any pleasure.
“However, there’s another thing that’s giving me a headache right now.”Old Zhang scratched his hair, looking very troubled.
“What is it?”
“It’s the victim of the case from 16 years ago.”
“Why? Her identity hasn’t been confirmed yet?”
“No.”
“The old man didn’t say anything?”
“He did. He said he forgot. He only remembered that he saw her on the street and followed her all the way here. He doesn’t know the exact identity of the victim.
He only remembered that it was a short-haired woman, probably in her twenties.”
Old Zhang’s face was a little heavy when he said these words. The reason why he insisted on investigating this case all these years and didn’t hesitate to ask his boss for help was that he wanted to get justice for that poor girl who didn’t know her identity.
But now that the real murderer was caught.,
and the identity of that girl.,
was still unclear.
Old Zhang was sometimes very stubborn and stubborn,
this certainly made people feel that he was somewhat difficult to get along with,
but from another perspective, this kind of quality in him was indeed lacking in the current society.
If he was just an ordinary police officer, Zhou Ze probably would not have bothered to help him to be reborn.
“However, he told us where the girl’s bones were buried 16 years ago,”Old Zhang said. “Also, some of the girl’s belongings were buried with her.”
“Bones?”
“Yes, Bones. He told us that he only cut off the flesh on his body and deliberately preserved the integrity of the bone structure.”
“16 years have passed. I don’t think they did any good protection when they buried her.” Zhou Ze sighed. “Let’s go and take a look.”
“Are we still going?” Lawyer An was a little tired. He was not interested in detective games, but he could not hold back his boss’s high spirits.
“Let’s finish what we started,” Zhou Ze said.
“Okay, let’s go.”
Salted fish indeed needed to turn over occasionally,
only then could he allow the sun to even out his body.
..
Yang Kewang told him that the place where he buried the body was behind a kiln in Guanyin Mountain town.
In the past 16 years, he had not gone to see it. He said that the woman he had killed had actually been by his side for the past 16 years.
He was already used to the feeling of her being by his side.
Of course, such words would not be recorded. It was also to prevent this guy from trying to play tricks with his mental illness.
However, Zhou Ze knew that this guy was not deliberately playing tricks.
The police took Yang Kewang with them,
it was an indispensable part of the judicial investigation process to let the criminal suspect go to the scene to state the case
Moreover,
yang Kewang himself had to go to the scene to provide a definite location.
The kiln had long been closed down, but it was still preserved. A few years ago, it was originally intended to be a commercial development, but because the developer wanted to play tricks on the commercial land and residential land, it had never been given, as time passed, this land was temporarily put on hold.
Opposite the kiln was a small river. Yang Kewang pointed at the river in front of him and said,
“It’s about here. Anyway, I buried it on the other side of the river. Don’t worry, it should be dug up. Back then, I even wrapped a plastic bag around her.”
Yang Kewang had always been calm,
he was so calm that it was as if the whole thing had nothing to do with him.
With his attitude, he really wanted people to go up and beat him up, but they were probably already looking forward to death. Whether you beat him up or not, it really didn’t matter to him. He might even beg you:
Harder, harder!
The tools had been prepared long ago. Apart from the policemen who were responsible for maintaining order in the surroundings to prevent the onlookers from approaching, the rest of the policemen were all digging with a shovel!
The area given by Yang Kewang was really not big, but if you said it was small, it could not be considered small just by using shovels to dig.
Zhang Yanfeng had originally brought two shovels to look for Zhou Ze,historical
but.,
when he approached Zhou Ze, who was sitting under a tree to enjoy the shade,
he noticed that Zhou Ze’s gaze carried a hint of warning as he looked at him and the extra shovels in his hands.
He hesitated for a moment,
Zhang Yanfeng still did not continue to send it over.
Lawyer An was drinking water while fanning himself. “Boss, I suddenly thought of something.”
“What is it?”
“If one person’s cell phone is handed over to another person to operate, does that mean that most people would be hard to find even if they died directly?”
“Found it!”A policeman shouted.
It was very quick.
Zhou Ze got up and walked over. He saw a long thing wrapped in a white plastic bag.
The forensic doctor went forward and used a small knife to cut open the plastic bag, revealing the bones inside.
Immediately.,
a foul stench assailed his nostrils.
The surrounding people immediately covered their noses,
Zhou Ze and the forensic doctor looked at the Bones Together,
suddenly.,
Zhou Ze and the female forensic doctor said in unison:
“This is a male corpse!”
Although the flesh and bones of the corpse were no longer there, professionals could still tell at a glance whether it was a male or a female.
Old Zhang was stunned. “A male?”
“Reporting, captain, I’ve dug up something here too.”
“Reporting, I’ve got something here too!”
“Reporting, I’ve got something here too.”
“I have it here too!”
“Captain, I have it here too!”
“Report..”
