dead innocent

Chu Xingyun has seen too much of the suspect's recalcitrance and sophistry.In the case of witnesses, material evidence, murder motives, and murder methods all established, the defense of Fang Junhai and Liu Ru seemed extremely weak.

That night, Fang Junhai and Liu Ru were detained pending trial.

The evidence left by the deceased Zhou Shiyang, the statement made by Manager Zhang of the Shu Palace, and the murder weapon found in Room 105.In the face of all these crimes, the charges of any suspect can be confirmed, and the transfer to the court for trial is only a procedure.

Chen Zhiyang made a phone call when he walked out of the interrogation room, telling him that the hair and fingerprints found in Zhou Shiyang's car had been confirmed and indeed belonged to Fang Yu.That is to say, Zhou Shiyang is an important suspect who took Fang Yu away and caused her disappearance, and his whereabouts are still unknown.

When Zhou Shiyang's suspicion of the cause of death was clearly proved, Zhou Shiyang's charges were also confirmed.

Perhaps, as He Cheng said, he died not innocently.

Zhou Shiyang's case came to an end, and now he should cooperate with Chen Zhiyang to search Fang Yu's whereabouts with all his strength.Fang Junhai said that a thief broke into his home on September [-]st, and it was Qin Xiao.This statement has credibility for Chu Xingyun. The first time he saw Qin Xiao in the Shu Palace, he saw that there was a mysterious and complicated relationship between him and Zhou Shiyang.If they made an appointment to meet at the Shu Palace to hide from others, then the secrets they kept were also shady.

Zhou Shiyang lied to He Cheng to cover up Qin Xiao, and Qin Xiao concealed from the police that the reason for going to the Shu Palace was to cover up Zhou Shiyang. If Zhou Shiyang was responsible for Fang Yu's disappearance, then Qin Xiao must be an insider.

At the first time, Chu Xingyun contacted Qin Xiao and asked him to go to the police station immediately to cooperate with the investigation.In less than 10 minutes, Qin Xiao's spokesperson, Lawyer Xu, arrived and brought proof that Qin Xiao was not in Yinjiang City on September [-]st and [-]nd.

Lawyer Xu provided a round-trip air ticket to Yinjiang and Bali, and a receipt issued by the hotel where Qin Xiao stayed. These evidences showed that the thief Fang Junhai met on September [-] was not Qin Xiao. Qin Xiao was on the beach at that time. Playing waves and beautiful women.

Chu Xingyun started to investigate the authenticity of these bills, and the airlines and hotels gave definite answers, and the evidence was true.

Surprisingly, Qin Xiao was able to get out of the mud and wash himself clean without any stains.

Now that Qin Xiao's line is broken, he can only search for Fang Yu in the whole city, maybe Fang Yu can tell them the final answer.Dial up the intertwined collateral branches and uncover all the confusing crimes and truths.

Zhou Shiyang's car was pulled back and placed in the underground garage. Although Chen Zhiyang had searched the car, Chu Xingyun still came to the underground garage and stayed alone with the car for a while.

His angles for collecting evidence have always been tricky, and evidence-searching dogs are not as sensitive as his sense of smell.

This Ruitu is still very new, both inside and out. If it weren't for the severe impact on the front of the car, it could even be treated as a new car.

Chu Xingyun walked around the car, then stopped in front of the rear tire, squatted down and looked at the dried cement in the tire gap, and then stretched out his hand to buckle it down a little.

He is not Sherlock Holmes, so it is impossible to deduce the previous route of this car from the dirt on the tires. At most, he knows that the places where this car has been are repairing bridges and roads or passing by construction sites where high-rise buildings are being built.However, Yinjiang City is such a big city that construction is being broken in almost every direction, and it is also a mystery whether the cement was stained on September [-]st.

Therefore, although the cement is a clue, if the investigation continues according to this clue, it is estimated that all the team members will scold him.

Chu Xingyun threw away the cement block, stood up and opened the rear compartment, and saw that it was empty and there was nothing.

He thought that Chen Zhiyang said that Fang Yu's hair and fingerprints were found in the back seat of the car, which meant that Fang Yu got into the car proactively and unprepared, which could show her familiarity and trust in the owner of the car.Now it has been verified that the driver was Zhou Shiyang, which is also in line with the previous speculation.

He closed the trunk, leaned on the car cover, lowered his eyes and frowned in thought.

There are only three remaining doubts——

One, where is Fang Yu?

Second, who is the person who sneaked into Fang Yu's room and stole things?

Three, what is that person looking for?

Suddenly, Zhou Shiyang's face flashed in front of his eyes again.If Zhou Shiyang took Fang Yu away between six o'clock and seven o'clock, the worst plan would be to kill her. It wouldn't take long to kill a girl and throw her body away.Maybe, he still has time to break into Fang Yu's house on the way back, sneak into Fang Yu's bedroom, and look for things?

Chu Xingyun felt that he had found the direction in the fog. If this line is correct, Zhou Shiyang took Fang Yu away and killed her, and then sneaked into Fang Yu's bedroom after throwing the body, it means that he did not find Fang Yu. Only when you want something, will you venture into Fang Yu's house.

In other words, what Zhou Shiyang was looking for directly caused Fang Yu's disappearance or death.But what is that thing?Where?Why did Fang Yu become its owner?

Chu Xingyun took two steps back, observed the car again from a global perspective, and dragged in another innocent character——Qin Xiao.

If Qin Xiao, Zhou Shiyang, and Fang Yu were related in some way, now that Zhou Shiyang was dead and Fang Yu was missing, there was only one Qin Xiao left.Does that mean that what Zhou Shiyang is looking for is also closely related to him?If Qin Xiao was related to Fang Yu's disappearance and Zhou Shiyang's death, then he must also be related to that thing, which meant that Qin Xiao would definitely have a next move.

Chu Xingyun’s tightly wrinkled eyebrows raised slightly, and a slight sneer appeared on the corner of his lips. His eyes were cold and sharp, like a knife splitting the fog in front of him, as if he saw this scene after the fog. The man behind the two murders

He didn't believe that Qin Xiao was so clean. Since everyone was not that clean, the sewage would be muddied sooner or later.He wanted to see if Qin Xiao could split through the muddy water and get out cleanly.

The higher authorities asked them to solve the case within a week. The criminal police who participated in Zhou Shiyang’s case in the past two days had all had lice. Now that Zhou Shiyang’s case has come to an end, Chu Xingyun let them go home to rest, and transferred several people to work night shifts.

Fu Yiben could go home with the big team to rest, but he took the initiative to stay and work overtime, taking over from colleagues in the technical team to search all the vehicle repair information in Yinjiang City within two days before and after September [-], from insurance companies to various auto repair stations , as long as the damage to the front of the car is serious, he will integrate the information and list it in the register.

Chu Xingyun pushed open the door of the empty police office, only Fu Yi was left inside.

"Why don't you get off work?"

Chu Xingyun went to the water dispenser to get a glass of water, walked over and sat on the desk in front of him.

Fu Yi was more tired than him, he at least ran out for a day, and Fu Yicai stayed in the office almost until he became delirious and mentally exhausted.

He took off the black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose. After working for a long time, his eyes are not resistant to the high-intensity light stimulation of the computer screen. A protective film in the shape of cicada wings has spontaneously formed in his eyes, which makes his eyes look strange in the middle of the night. Blurred, tired, and soft.

"If I get off work, you will be left alone. Are you busy?"

Fu Yi pinched his brows and smiled lightly.

Chu Xingyun stood behind him and turned over two pages of the vehicle maintenance records he found, jokingly said: "You are the benchmark in our team, so you must not be exhausted at work, or you will recruit new people in the future How could I fool people when I was young, joining our criminal investigation team can also become a man with a happy family and a successful career."

He talked too much about such jokes, and usually Fu Yi would respond with a few words and then laugh it off, but today he didn't respond.

Chu Xingyun looked back at him and saw that his face was exposed to the strong light of the screen, and the brow bone and bridge of the nose were painted with a layer of very cold light, like the cold glow of a cold blade flowing under the light.

His eyes were bottomless, and two light spots were faintly printed on his pupils, which looked like two dots of light like beans in a dark valley.

Chu Xingyun's sense of smell, which has always been dull in emotion, was finally sharpened at this time, and he saw the obvious depression and depression on Fu Yi's face at a glance.

"What's wrong? Sister-in-law, did you two quarrel?"

Fu Yi hid the worry on his face, smiled a little weakly, lowered his head and wiped his glasses, and said, "No, you're right, it's time to go home."

Having said that, he put on his glasses again and leaned over the computer, looking at the record sheet intently.

Chu Xingyun sent a text message to He Cheng with his mobile phone, and then dialed Gao Yuannan's phone number. Gao Yuannan picked up after a long time, and seemed very tired, speaking in a low tone.

"did you find it?"

he asks.

Gao Yuannan said: "I can't get into the Intranet of the Police Department, so I can only collect information based on some information circulated on the Internet."

After all, it was not a legitimately assigned task, Chu Xingyun did not put pressure on her, and said: "I can find as much as I can, just find out who the death row prisoner was, and I will find you later."

After hanging up the phone, he saw a figure standing at the door out of the corner of his eye, and when he looked up, he realized that it was Yang Kaitai.

Yang Kaitai was carrying two packed suppers, and stood at the door with a worried and hesitant look.

Chu Xingyun called him in, took the food box in his hand, and said straight to the point: "What do you want to say."

Standing beside Fu Yi, Yang Kaitai frowned and bit his lips for a moment, then looked up at Chu Xingyun unwillingly, and asked: "Captain, is the murderer really Fang Junhai and his wife?"

Chu Xingyun looked at him silently for a moment, then said with a serious face: "Do you think it's Qin Xiao?"

Yang Kaitai nodded heavily: "Yes."

Chu Xingyun lowered his eyes and took out a cigarette, lit it, and smiled: "Evidence."

A trace of panic flashed in Yang Kaitai's eyes: "But——"

"But you have no proof."

Chu Xingyun held a cigarette against the corner of his lips, looked at him with a half-smile and said: "You preconceived that Qin Xiao was the murderer, and all your efforts later were to convict Qin Xiao, but now there is evidence to prove that Zhou Shiyang was killed. It’s not Qin Xiao. You are discouraged, angry, or your desire to avenge Zhou Shiyang has failed. So even with the overwhelming evidence, you are still unwilling to let Qin Xiao go. Sanyang, let me tell you However, you are a criminal policeman, and your duty is to reveal the truth, not guess the truth based on your subjective speculation, and you cannot put yourself into the case. Otherwise, you will get lost."

Yang Kaitai stared at him blankly with clear black and white eyes, seemingly understood what he said, but still stubbornly said: "No, captain, I think Qin Xiao is—"

Chu Xingyun's face darkened, and he said in a cold voice: "Your feeling? If we solve the case according to our feeling, wouldn't it be easy for us to sit in the office every day and meditate and make a wish?! If you think Qin Xiao is the murderer, then Show evidence, you not only have no evidence, but also ignore the evidence you have found, and now talk to me about your feelings? Are you God, Comrade Yang Kaitai? Who do you think you can be responsible for what you say now?!"

Yang Kaitai was stunned by his scolding and was stunned.

He could hear that Chu Xingyun was not reprimanding him for overthrowing the hard work of the whole team of police officers, but reprimanding him for his work attitude.From the first day he joined the Criminal Investigation Team of the City Bureau, Fu Yi and Chu Xingyun repeatedly taught him not to act emotionally during the investigation process, and to maintain a calm and on the sidelines attitude at all times.But now he ignores all the efforts of his colleagues, and even wants to go his own way to overturn the closed case, just because of the anger and unwillingness in his heart.

Chu Xingyun was right, he put himself into the case, blinded by hatred and guilt.His position is no longer fair, he just wants to convict Qin Xiao and avenge Zhou Shiyang.

Chu Xingyun rubbed the whole cigarette into the palm of his hand, and then threw it into the trash can: "I will give you a day to think about your identity and what you should do. If you don't adjust your mentality, you will be fucked." Go home and go to bed early! I will give you a week off!"

Yang Kaitai has been with him for three years, he has a well-behaved and docile personality, has always done things safely, and has not made any major mistakes, so this is the first time he has heard such serious words from him.As if five thunderbolts had struck the top, he was stunned by his yelling, and the water in his eyes trembled.

After a while, he said, "I see, Captain."

Yang Kaitai lowered his head, bit his lip, controlled the trembling mist in his eyes, finished this sentence in a low voice, then turned and walked out of the office.

While he was leaving, Fu Yi stood up a little flustered, and said to Chu Xingyun with complicated and worried eyes: "He is still young."

Chu Xingyun flicked his hair irritably, sighed heavily, and said: "His mentality is wrong, if he doesn't correct it now, it will be difficult for him to break it in the future."

"Are you so sure that Qin Xiao must be clean?"

"I'm not sure, I just know that the clues and evidence we found cannot be ignored. We are not only responsible for the dead Zhou Shiyang, but also for Qin Xiao!"

Fu Yi didn't say anything, walked out of the office and followed Yang Kaitai's direction.

Chu Xingyun sorted out half of his materials and archived them, then mentioned the midnight snack bought by Yang Kaitai, went out and turned into the technical team office.

At this time, Gao Yuannan was the only one left on the technical team who stayed up late and worked overtime.

The girl in light casual clothes put on a colleague's coat and sat at a desk with only one computer on.

The surrounding darkness enveloped her, but her expression was very stable and peaceful.She seems to have gotten used to working alone in the night when no one is around. The dark night brings her a peaceful mood and broad thinking. She is the kind of person who can enjoy the dark night.

She seems to have been born to avoid light, and grew up in the dark.

Gao Yuannan has always had such a cold and withdrawn personality, and she is vigorous and meticulous in her work.But in private, no one saw her smile.

Chu Xingyun's sudden intrusion caught her attention. Chu Xingyun saw the cold light of the screen reflected in her eyes flickering rapidly for a few times, and then stood up slowly with his hands on the table: "Captain Chu."

The coat on her shoulders fell to the ground with her movements, and Chu Xingyun pressed his palm to her, saying: "Sit." Then he picked up the coat that fell on the ground and helped her put it on her shoulders.

"Mutton powder, are you used to it?"

Chu Xingyun put the supper on her table, then habitually bent down and put his hands on the back of her chair, looking at her computer screen and asking.

The smell of mutton was very strong, but Gao Yuannan felt a little uncomfortable on his face, he avoided the supper a little bit, and said in a voice that was too calm and cold compared with other girls of the same age: "I like to eat light food. A little."

Chu Xingyun took the mouse from her hand, browsed down the information she compiled, and said with a smile: "Yes, every time you go out for dinner, you basically order vegetarian dishes."

Perhaps Chu Xingyun's posture of holding her in his arms at this time is a bit too intimate for her. Gao Yuannan lowered his eyes and gently folded his arms, saying: "Because my family pays attention to health preservation, it affects my lifestyle and eating habits.”

Chu Xingyun dealt with it casually: "That's very good, a healthy lifestyle is something that many people are missing."

Then he put down the mouse, straightened his back and looked at the computer and asked, "Is that all?"

Gao Yuannan said: "At present, we can only find so many. The details of the case are gone. We can only find some media reports and a court judgment from the newspapers of the year."

"The interrogation video and court video from that year are all gone?"

Gao Yuannan shook his head: "I can't find it."

Chu Xingyun looked at the information that could be read in one or two pages, and couldn't help being secretly annoyed.

If the crimes back then were as thick as a Journey to the West book, the only material left in front of us is only an abridgement of a few hundred words.

Only now, after seeing the remaining judgments from the court, did he know the name of the bastard who kidnapped He Cheng.

Yuan Pingyi, this person is called Yuan Pingyi.

He wanted to see the murderer's face clearly, but the picture quality in the early years was blurry, and in the photo, only half of his face was exposed surrounded by the bailiffs. He couldn't see anything except that the man had a hooked nose. out.

"print it out."

Chu Xingyun said this, and then sat down beside her.

After the information was typed out, he collapsed on his lap and turned it back and forth several times before summing up the process of Yuan Pingyi's arrest from the limited written records.

On August 2004, [-], a mother who lived in a border town lost her daughter. The mother searched the neighbors before finding a witness who witnessed her daughter's whereabouts.

The witness said that she saw her daughter go to the neighbor's house next door. She immediately went to the neighbor's door, but no one answered, so she chose to call the police.The police attached great importance to this case and immediately dispatched an elite armed police force to carry out the arrest overnight. However, when the police arrived, the building was empty and only He Cheng was left as a prisoner in the whole house. Yuan Pingyi and the girl disappeared together.

After the police rescued He Cheng, they found the bodies of the five missing children in the yard. The bodies were wrapped in white lime to prevent them from emitting a bad smell. The bodies with varying degrees of decay lacked kidneys. Neatly placed in the kitchen refrigerator.

Yuan Pingyi is an out-and-out perverted killer. After he escaped with the girl, his whereabouts are unknown, and the information he left behind was all false, causing the police to fall into a bottleneck again.Two months later, another kidnapping case occurred in a city thousands of miles away from his hometown. Perhaps God finally opened his eyes. Yuan Pingyi encountered a car accident while fleeing with his child, and was taken down by the police when he woke up.

He confessed to the crimes he committed. He didn't even ask a lawyer, but confessed the crimes he committed. When asked about the whereabouts of the last girl, he even cried bitterly, saying The girl is dead.

Half a month later, Yuan Pingyi was sentenced to death without any dispute.

Although there is no detailed case in this outline, it can be regarded as well-organized. It fully explained the process of Yuan Pingyi's arrest and confirmed his death.

But is Yuan Pingyi really dead?

If he was already dead, then who gave He Cheng the 'gift'?

Although perverted killers do not lack admirers with the same abnormal psychology, He Cheng said that no one else knew about the white bear except that person.

So he had to prepare for the worst and investigate the dead demons as if they were alive.

He asked Gao Yuannan to look up all of Yuan Pingyi's information, and within a minute, Gao Yuannan called this person out.It's just that there is nothing bright about this person's file. He was unmarried until his death, and the resume on the file was only updated until he graduated from college. Even the crimes he committed were skipped, and he was sentenced to death directly at the end of the file.

"Print out all his information, and then you can get off work."

Ten minutes later, Chu Xingyun took the documents and Gao Yuannan walked out of the office building in the early morning night, standing under the bright light of the Pearl Tower in the city center, Chu Xingyun said: "I will take you home."

Except for Qiao Shishi and a few other female colleagues, Gao Yuannan's attitude towards all male colleagues was relatively alienated and indifferent, so she declined Chu Xingyun's kindness and said: "No, my family will come to pick me up."

While talking, a white car slowly stopped on the side of the road at the entrance of the Municipal Bureau, and the two low beams on the front of the car flashed twice quickly.

Gao Yuannan said goodbye to him, then trotted towards the white car, opened the passenger door and got in, the car drove away from the city bureau quickly.

Chu Xingyun returned to his car, did not leave in a hurry, but took out his mobile phone and called Chen Zhiyang.

Chen Zhiyang was troubled by Lan Ruitu's driving route. Hearing that Chu Xingyun asked him to go out for a drink now, he scolded him a few times, and then hung up the phone neatly.

Chu Xingyun tapped the steering wheel unhurriedly with the documents in his hand, and dialed the phone back to him in an unusually good-tempered manner.

"There's something good for you to see."

This time he strikes first.

Chen Zhiyang asked: "What? Have you found Fang Yu?"

Chu Xingyun looked at the Pearl Tower standing in the center of the city, and a very cold smile appeared on the corner of his lips slowly, and said: "Bifang Yu's case is much more interesting, are you interested?"

Unsurprisingly, Chen Zhiyang was aroused by him and asked him to meet at a private restaurant in Dongcheng District.

Chu Xingyun hung up the phone and drove out of the city bureau to Dongcheng District.
