dead innocent

Out of the gate, Chu Xingyun didn't even look straight at the Haval parked diagonally behind, and walked straight forward in the same direction as the front of the Haval.

He is very familiar with Heping Avenue. After walking a few steps, he turned left into an alley. After entering the alley, his expression changed suddenly. He put away his mobile phone and ran forward. At the end of the alley, he turned left again. Unknowingly, he circled back to the position behind the black Haval.

The black Haval was parked at the intersection of the street. Although the people in the car did not expect to be surrounded by roundabouts, they were also very alert. They saw Chu Xingyun suddenly appearing like a ghost from the rearview mirror, and they were about to flee immediately.But Chu Xingyun moved faster than him, rushed to the driver's window one second before he started the car, and punched through the window glass and landed on his temple!

The people in the car were tilted to the side by his punch, and before they had time to react, Chu Xingyun pulled out the car keys.

Chu Xingyun's hand and the car window glass died together. Although his fist was hard, countless wounds were cut on the back of his hand, and blood immediately covered his entire right hand.He put the car keys into his trousers pocket, grabbed the man in the car by his collar and dragged him out, and pulled out a sharp piece of broken glass stuck in the car window by hand.

The man naturally wanted to fight him, so he swung his fist at his face.

Chu Xingyun took a step calmly as if he had been prepared, sideways dodged his punch, then raised his hand to grab his wrist, and used the force of his punch to help the fire again, as if he was Pulling his arm forward like a piece of rag, the sound of bones tearing was like the sound of cloth breaking.

Abandoning one of his arms was not enough, Chu Xingyun immediately bent his elbow and turned back all the force of the punch, and hit the man's neck backwards with his elbow.

The man was thrown back a few steps by his elbow, head tilted and shoulders slumped, struggling to fight him, gritted his teeth angrily and sent his left hand out again.

Instead of hiding, Chu Xingyun faced him instead. During the two steps towards him, the shattered glass that had just been pulled out from the car window was caught between the fingers of his right hand, and only the tip of the glass two or three inches long was exposed. Then He clenched his fist and stabbed the man's waist!

Although he avoided the kidneys, the severe pain from the sharp weapon's entry made the man trying to attack him uncontrollably let out a howl. The strength in his whole body was released like a flood, and the pain hit everywhere, his face was pale. Nearly passed out.

Chu Xingyun held his left arm against his already swollen neck, and pressed him against the wall with all his strength, the glass tip fixed between his fingers was still embedded in his flesh, and asked with gloomy eyes: "Are you honest?"

The man was only shivering, he couldn't even say a word, his throat was gurgling, as if he was scolding his mother.

Chu Xingyun sneered, pressed his shoulders to make him turn and lie on the wall, pulled out the belt on his waist, cut his hands behind his back and fastened a fastening buckle firmly.

He Cheng stood in front of the door and waited for less than 5 minutes, when he saw Chu Xingyun came back wrapped in a murderous look, and brought back a man, the man's miserable appearance made him frown.

Although Chu Xingyun is good at skills, he has never been so cruel to people, and he always points to the end and keeps a sense of proportion.People have never been punished to death like this.

Chu Xingyun pressed the man straight past him, then took out the key card to open the door of the villa and pushed the man in. After He Cheng also came in, he closed and locked the door.

He Cheng looked at the man who was lying on the ground with a piece of broken glass stuck in his waist, and asked indifferently, "Who is it?"

Chu Xingyun took off his wet, cold and heavy jacket, wiped off the blood on the back of his hand and threw it on the floor. The hostility between his brows had not dissipated, and he said coldly: "The people who follow us."

After speaking, he turned and walked into the bathroom on the first floor, and came out after a while with a clean blanket and towel.He threw the blanket to He Cheng, then picked up the kettle on the counter in the kitchen and took a pot of cold water, took the kettle and towel and returned to the side of the man who fell down in the living room and yelled at his mother.

He Cheng could see that, he planned to use "torture".Although I don't know why Chu Xingyun is so irritable this time, so impatient, and so anxious to make a quick decision.But he didn't interfere, but avoided it from a distance.

Ignoring the man's yelling and Chu Xingyun's pressing questioning, He Cheng took off his drenched windbreaker, put a blanket over his body and poured himself a cup of hot tea, then sat on the sofa in the living room with the teacup in hand, folded his arms Lazily and weakly lowered his eyes, he looked at the water pattern on the cup surface expressionlessly, and listened carefully to the movement over there.

"Who is following you? I don't even know who you are!"

"I don't know who we are? Then let me tell you now, your grandfather is Chu Xingyun, the captain of the Criminal Investigation Detachment of the Yinjiang Public Security Bureau. You don't need to know who the man sitting over there is. In your ears you have lost your life. Now it's your turn to tell me, who sent you with us?"

"Since you are a policeman, then you have to produce evidence to prove that I followed you. Not only do you have no evidence, but you beat people. Can the police beat people casually?!"

"Your mouth is really hard. A few months ago in the parking lot of the hospital, downstairs of the Ark Building, the person who followed us was not you? If you want evidence, I will adjust the surveillance and give you the evidence."

"I have been to the hospital and the Ark Building so what? Yinjiang City is your territory? I have been there to monitor you?!"

Chu Xingyun found that he had a hard stubble. This man obviously received more professional training. He is very strong and good at sophistry. It is difficult to pry his mouth open with conventional interrogation methods.In the past, he still had the patience to talk to him, but now that He Cheng is threatened again and again, he has no place to vent his pent-up anger, and this unlucky guy hit him muzzle.

Chu Xingyun clamped his chin, forced him to turn his face to look at himself, and sneered: "Friend, I don't scare you, if you don't tell who sent you to follow us, today you have to lie Carried out of the house."

The man's eyes widened, and cold sweat broke out endlessly on his face: "You are a policeman, you dare not kill people."

Chu Xingyun narrowed his eyes slightly, and sneered: "I dare not?"

As he said that, he glanced at the towels and cold water on the floor, changed his mind temporarily, stood up and walked towards the living room, stopped in front of He Cheng and tore off the tie on He Cheng's neck, then took the tie and walked to the living room. In the kitchen, I took out a whole box of brand new western-style knives and forks from the closet.

Returning to the man, Chu Xingyun raised one foot and stepped on his chest, lowered his eyes and smiled slightly at his astonished eyes, and said: "The last time I asked you, who sent you to follow us?"

His eyes were too frightening. The man finally sensed that the danger was approaching. He struggled and twisted vigorously under his feet, howling, "You are a policeman, and the police cannot kill people!"

Chu Xingyun frowned impatiently, did not continue to talk nonsense with him, covered his eyes with He Cheng's tie and tied a knot behind his head, stepped on the twisting chest of the man with his feet, and lifted the corners of his lips like a smile Fei smiled and said, "Be careful, don't move around."

As if throwing a dart, Chu Xingyun blindfolded and shot down the western knife.

"what!"

The Western-style knife that had been forcefully poured seemed to have eyes, and it slashed across the side of the man's face impartially, pierced it on the floor, and cut a bloody gash on his earlobe.

Although the wound was not serious, but Chu Xingyun was blindfolded, he didn't know where the knife would be pierced. This kind of life was treated like a joke, and the unknown sense of being threatened at any time made the extremely brave and strong man confused. Struggling and howling.

Chu Xingyun tilted his head slightly, as if he was catching his position with his ears, and seemed to enjoy the game with his lips curled up. Under his frightened and angry gaze, he took out a table knife from the box again, and made sure he was The position of the knife in his hand was shot towards the position of his head.

This knife was dangerous, if the man hadn't turned his head to dodge in time, it would have pierced his forehead.

This policeman is not interrogating him, he is murdering!

The man's howling was shrill and angry, even if he was complaining, he was begging for mercy.But Chu Xingyun won't end the game if he can't hear the answer he wants.

Sitting on the sofa in the living room, He Cheng watched the scene of Chu Xingyun's questioning, his heart was hanging high, and his heart trembled with every knife shot from his hand.

He knew that Chu Xingyun was not ignoring human life, he did not want to be involved in a murder case at all, he was just gambling.I bet that his psychological endurance is stronger than that of men, and he is not the first to persist in losing in this confrontation.The tension in Chu Xingyun's heart is no less than that of the man who was attacked by his dining knife. He is under more pressure and has more responsibilities on his shoulders, but he must win.

Fortunately, he really won. After he threw out the seventh knife, the man finally broke down and gave the answer he wanted.

"It's Zou Yuheng! Zou Yuheng hired me to follow you!"

Chu Xingyun held a table knife and stood still for a moment, then took off the tie covering his eyes, revealing a pair of dark and cold eyes: "Say clearly, who are you following?"

"You, follow you!"

"……why?"

"I don't know, I just get paid to do things."

"That time in the hospital, you followed me too"

The man was terrified by him, and he knew everything like beans: "That time I went to follow a woman, the woman you arrested."

woman?Liu Jiamin?

Chu Xingyun squatted down, patted his face with the table knife that he hadn't had time to shoot, and asked with a smile: "Except for me, who have you followed?"

The man kicked a few times, and said: "The first time, I followed the woman who was arrested by you. The second time, I followed the old man who was looking for a son-in-law. The third time, I followed you from Heping Avenue to the Ark Building. The fourth time, It's now."

The woman who was arrested was Liu Jiamin.The old man looking for his son-in-law is Wu Yaowen.

"Are you sure you're following me, not He Cheng?"

"I'm sure."

Chu Xingyun dragged the scarred man up and locked him into the bathroom, locked the door of the bathroom and called Fu Yi, telling him that there was a thief here, and asked him to come and arrest him.

After locking the bathroom, he went upstairs to He Cheng's room to find a set of clean clothes, then went downstairs and returned to the living room, standing in front of He Cheng.

"Change clothes, let's go."

He Cheng didn't expect to hear Zou Yuheng's name from that man's mouth. After he was surprised, he thought about it for a while, and felt that there was nothing surprising.These sons and brothers, none of them have one or two shady cases in their hands.He just couldn't think of why Zou Yuheng would send someone to follow Chu Xingyun. If he was following him, then he could still retrieve the suspicious points from the intersection of the two, but he was following Chu Xingyun. Chu Xingyun was just a policeman. He doesn't know the "insider information" and has no power in his hands. Why is he following a policeman?

wrong.

When Chu Xingyun called Fu Yi, he suddenly figured it out.

Although Chu Xingyun is just a policeman, he is not an ordinary policeman. He has handled Jiang Zhaonan's case, and the closest Jiang Zhaonan left before his death was Zou Yuheng.Furthermore, the man said that he had been assigned by Zou Yuheng to follow Wu Yaowen. Both Jiang Zhaonan and Wu Yaowen were part of the past Duke Butterfly case. Since Zou Yuheng was also secretly involved, does that mean that Zou Yuheng was also one of them?

He told Chu Xingyun the clues he thought of, but Chu Xingyun said: "The key person is not Wu Yaowen, but Liu Jiamin."

He Cheng took off his shirt, put on a sweater that Chu Xingyun handed him, and asked in surprise, "Liu Jiamin?"

Chu Xingyun took the wet clothes he had changed, fixed his eyes on his two hard and deep collarbones, but his thoughts went somewhere, and said in a deep voice: "Well, Liu Jiamin. It's the first time I saw that black car Harvard is in the parking lot of the hospital. Later, because the car no longer appeared, I did not continue to investigate and ignored it. The second time was downstairs in your company. At that time, it was confirmed that the murderer was Jiang Zhaonan. I thought he was from Jiang Zhaonan. , Now that Jiang Zhaonan is dead, this car appeared again, and it was ordered by Zou Yuheng but not Jiang Zhaonan. I think I missed something from the beginning."

He Cheng understood, what he said was the beginning of the case, and what really involved Jiang Zhaonan was the Duke Butterfly case.But they all ignored that Jiang Zhaonan's first investigation into the case was not the Duke Butterfly case, but the case of the three children killed by Liu Jiamin and Shi Xiaohui.Later, the incident of being followed in the parking lot of the hospital happened to testify that Jiang Zhaonan was not related to several children, but Liu Jiamin, who tried to commit suicide after being arrested.

I didn't expect that after such a long time, today, I have to go back to the place where the case started.

He Cheng had already guessed where he was going, but he still asked, "Where are we going?"

Chu Xingyun helped him straighten his coat collar and said, "Go to Liu Jiamin."

Liu Jiamin is serving his sentence in the Suburban Women's Prison. Although Chu Xingyun has few close friends, he has a lot of acquaintances, even in the Women's Prison.

It was lunch time when they went, and a female prison guard they knew well took them to the visiting room, and within 5 minutes, Liu Jiamin arrived.

Because Chu Xingyun fulfilled his promise, maintained her victim status during the trial, helped her reduce her sentence for two years, and helped her place her mother in a nursing home with good conditions, so the imprisoned woman but The still proud female teacher is willing to see him.

Liu Jiamin has lost a lot of weight. Her formerly plump and long face is now deeply sunken. The jade-white skin that was well maintained in the past has lost its pretty color due to the life of atonement. Her spirit is the same as her hair. decayed and yellow.

If he didn't recognize the arrogance and indifference in her eyes, Chu Xingyun would not dare to compare the woman in front of him with the proud female teacher that day.

"How is my mother? Is she in good health?"

This was the first sentence Liu Jiamin said when he saw him. There were no pleasantries or detours, leaving aside all the sophistication of the world.

"I don't have time to visit her recently. If her physical condition allows, I will bring her to see you next week."

Liu Jiamin lowered her head to cover her red eyes, sat on the glass wall and put down the microphone to soothe her emotions for a while, then held the microphone up to her ear, and asked in a no longer so cold tone: "What's the matter with you?"

Chu Xingyun's right hand was habitually placed on the table, and the index finger tapped the table slowly and rhythmically, saying: "About Jiang Zhaonan."

When Liu Jiamin heard this name, a gleam of coldness flashed across her lowered eyes, and the corners of her lips gently opened a faint arc, revealing the cruel and satisfied smile that Chu Xingyun was familiar with, and she said: "I knew you would come to me."

"So can you tell me now? The part of the truth you kept from me."

He should have thought earlier that when Liu Jiamin was tricked by four children into going up the mountain, she went to Lvyuan Villa to find students, but met Jiang Zhaonan and had an accidental miscarriage.At the beginning, he made the assumption that it was raining heavily that night, and she didn't fall very much, leading to a miscarriage.But the incident of being stalked later made him think that perhaps Jiang Zhaonan had something to do with Liu Jiamin's miscarriage. If not, why would Zou Yuheng, who was related to Jiang Zhaonan, send someone to follow Liu Jiamin?

Thinking of the day when Jiang Zhaonan went to the police station to 'identify' the suspect, Liu Jiamin's mood fluctuated abnormally, and even wanted to snatch his gun, and shouted hysterically, 'It's you!my child!my child! '

At that time, I only thought that this woman was stimulated and was talking nonsense, but ignored the two words 'it's you'.

So he boldly overturned the previous speculation, if Liu Jiamin bumped into Jiang Zhaonan on the way to find students, was selected by Jiang Zhaonan as the next victim, and lost his life under his pursuit, but lost his own child.Then the culprits that caused her miscarriage were the four children, and Jiang Zhaonan.

But Liu Jiamin did not seek revenge on Jiang Zhaonan, and even met Jiang Zhaonan twice at the police station and did not recognize him.Explain what?Did she forget his appearance or was Jiang Zhaonan hiding his own appearance?Like... with a butterfly mask.

Liu Jiamin seemed to be listening to a student's report. After listening to Chu Xingyun's latest inference, there was an appreciative smile on his face, and he said, "You are really amazing."

Chu Xingyun ignored her ambiguous compliment and asked, "Am I right?"

Jiang Zhaonan is dead, Liu Jiamin has no scruples anymore, so he said: "Yes, what you said is all right."

Thinking of that night, on the mountain road, she was followed by a black car like a prey, and the rain was too heavy, so she slipped.The black car stopped behind her, the two headlights pierced the cold rainy night, the lights in the car were not turned on, the windshield was pitch black, she couldn't see the people inside, and she didn't know who drove her away like a plaything.

Just as she was crying for help, the door of the black car opened suddenly, and a man stepped out from the passenger seat with a cold silver mask on his face...

"I'm a good fortune teller, and I only got rid of him after I ran into the dense forest."

"So that day at the police station, you recognized Jiang Zhaonan the second time you saw him?"

"That's right, I remember his eyes, but I don't dare to say it out. Jiang Zhaonan is a high-ranking government official, and I don't have any evidence. Even if I say it, it's useless, and it will also hurt my mother."

Chu Xingyun could understand her concerns, but Jiang Zhaonan was the only one in her words, not Zou Yuheng. If Zou Yuheng didn't participate, why would Zou Yuheng send someone to follow her?Even later, Duke Butterfly was exposed by Xia Xinghan, and the person following Wu Yaowen was still Zou Yuheng.

More importantly, Jiang Zhaonan was among the people whom He Cheng used as a witness to call the police to 'identify' Liu Jiamin that day, and Zou Yuheng who was ignored by them as a spectator.

Thinking of that day, Chu Xingyun couldn't help being annoyed. He only thought that Zou Yuheng was an outsider, a spectator who went to see the excitement, but he didn't expect that Zou Yuheng was also one of the members who 'identified' Liu Jiamin.

But Liu Jiamin said: "I have never seen Zou Yuheng, and there was only one person who got off the bus that night."

Chu Xingyun held his forehead, frowned and fell into deep thought.

If the stalker captured by him didn't lie, then Zou Yuheng must have participated in Liu Jiamin's tragedy. Besides, He Cheng also said that Zou Yuheng was the closest to Jiang Zhaonan.If you use the logic of doubting the relationship between Jiang Zhaonan and Zou Yuheng to approach Rose Manor, then Zou Yuheng's intention to transfer Rose Manor to Jiang Zhaonan will have to be complicated...

Suddenly, he frowned, and suddenly raised his head to stare at Liu Jiamin: "You said, in the car chasing you that night, a man opened the passenger door and got off?"

Liu Jiamin couldn't help being a little nervous: "Yes."

"Are you sure it's the co-pilot, not the driver's seat?"

Liu Jiamin thought for a moment and said, "I'm sure."

Chu Xingyun was silent for a long time, and leaned back into the back of the chair as if he was relieved, with a smile on his face: "That's right."

He Cheng, who had been listening beside him for a long time, couldn't help asking: "What's wrong?"

Chu Xingyun turned his head to look at him, his eyes were as black as night, without a gleam of light, and said: "There is still one person in the car."

"...You mean, Zou Yuheng is also in the car?"

Chu Xingyun nodded, and smiled with emotion: "Unexpectedly, Zou Yuheng is also a member of Duke Butterfly."

In this way, all doubts can be explained clearly.
