Zhou Ze and Lawyer An sat side by side on a bench outside the police station's interrogation room.
It was very lively outside the police station. The media who heard the news gathered like sharks smelling blood. They crowded together, but they were all stopped.
The police said that the case is still under investigation and a press conference will be held later to announce some details of the case. Of course, the reporters will not be idle either, and they can also use this time to finish their articles and take the public to review the corpse disposal case that occurred in Tongcheng 16 years ago.
Of course, some reporters are still discussing how to unfold the next news to gain more attention.
for example:
Why do lonely elderly people become murderers
"Does the indifference of children and society turn the elderly into demons?"
"Uncover the truth behind the old man turning into a murderer!"
《I want to cry, please save our elderly! 》
… …
The old man wanted to commit suicide, but Zhou Ze saved him. Of course, the reason he saved him was definitely not because he wanted him to live, but because he felt that such a quick death was indeed too easy for him.
This case was solved very quickly.
at the same time,
It can also be said that it breaks very slowly.
The tall and thin female detective handed over two cups of coffee, then sat down on the chair opposite Zhou Ze and began sending messages. Although the murderer had been caught, there were still many details in this case that needed to be dealt with.
"Have you found out the identities of the two dead people in the room?" Zhou Ze asked.
“Not yet, but it should be soon. Since the time since their death is relatively short, their original employers may not have noticed their disappearance yet.
However, according to the testimony of other residents in the apartment building, the man and woman should be a young couple or a lover, because they are often seen buying groceries together. It is estimated that they are workers in Tongcheng and rented in Yang Kewang's house. "
Yang Kewang is the name of this old man.
"However, Yang Kewang must have done a very detailed job after killing someone. Our investigators were unable to find any clues in the house that could prove the identity of the deceased, such as a cell phone, ID card, or anything like that. Not a single one was found."
"It's been sixteen years, and the body is right in front of us. It's surprisingly difficult to find the identity of the deceased."
Zhou Ze felt a little emotional.
after all,
This is not a mountain road in the mountains, like the roads in Xichuan or Tibet. To be honest, if you kill someone on those roads and throw him into the ditch nearby, it would be a perfect place to destroy the body and cover up the traces.
But this is Tongcheng, a modern coastal city with a dense population.
“I think this problem will be solved in another 16 years. When identity information collection is further promoted and covers the entire population, things should be simple.
But don't worry, it's only a matter of time before we find out their identities."
As soon as the words fell,
The female detective's cell phone rang, she answered the call, and then said to Zhou Ze:
"The identities of the two deceased have been verified. They were a young couple from XX Province who came to Tongcheng to work."
Zhou Ze nodded, and the female detective immediately went to report the news and got up and left.
Zhou Ze reached out and gently rubbed the bridge of his nose.
“People are really not that precious.” Lawyer An said, “Don’t be fooled by the fact that modern people’s lives seem to be very fulfilling;
But in reality,
If you don't order takeout, receive express delivery, or log into chat apps,
Just put your phone there.
See if he gets a phone call one day.
In this world, there are stars, celebrities, and big shots, but the vast majority of people are actually dust, like leeks planted on the roadside.
There is really not much difference between it being there and not being there.
Most people come into this life quietly and leave it 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 in your arms hurt?" Lawyer An grabbed Zhou Ze's arm and rolled up his sleeves. "Although the old man is short, if you grab him with one hand, your muscles will be strained."
"Um."
"Let me rub it for you."
Lawyer An began to massage Zhou Ze's arms.
Don't say,
It really works.
The arm that used to feel a slight tearing sensation when pulled gradually stopped hurting.
"You're quite suitable to open a massage parlor."
"You're also suitable to open a locksmith company."
At this time,
Lao Zhang came over with a stack of things in his hand.
Seeing two men arguing with each other on a bench in front of me,
Lao Zhang suddenly felt a little disgusted and coughed to show his presence.
But the two still went their own way.
"He confessed, right?" Zhou Ze asked.
"He confessed everything and was very cooperative. He said his only wish was to be rewarded with a peanut as soon as possible, so his confession was very sincere."
After hearing these words, Zhou Ze suddenly felt a little bored.
He even lost the desire to punish that guy himself.
It is difficult to get any pleasure from torturing a person who has already lost all hope and is determined to die.
"However, there is one thing that is really bothering me right now." Lao Zhang scratched his hair, looking very embarrassed.
"What's up?"
"The victim of the case sixteen years ago."
"Why, her identity hasn't been confirmed yet?"
"No."
"The old man didn't tell me?"
"He confessed that he had forgotten, and only remembered seeing him on the street and following him all the way. He also had no idea about the identity of the victim.
I just remember that she was a short-haired woman, probably in her twenties."
Lao Zhang's face looked a little heavy when he said these words. The reason why he had insisted on investigating this case all these years and even asked his boss to help was because he wanted to seek justice for the poor girl whose identity was unknown.
But now the real murderer has been caught,
The identity of that girl,
Still unclear.
Sometimes Lao Zhang is very stubborn and obstinate.
This certainly makes him seem a bit difficult to get along with.
But from another perspective, this quality of his is indeed lacking in today's society.
If he was just an ordinary policeman, Boss Zhou probably wouldn't have bothered to help him be reborn.
"However, he told us where he buried the girl's body sixteen years ago," Lao Zhang said, "and buried with it were some of the girl's personal belongings."
"Bone?"
"Yes, the skeleton. He confessed that he had only cut off the flesh from his body and deliberately preserved the integrity of the bone structure."
"Sixteen years have passed. I guess it wasn't properly protected when it was buried." Zhou Ze sighed, "Let's go and take a look."
"Are you still going?" Lawyer An was a little tired. He was not interested in detective games, but he could not stand his boss's high spirits.
"Let's have a beginning and an end." Zhou Ze said.
"Okay, go ahead."
Salted fish does need to turn over occasionally,
This will allow the sun to bask you evenly.
… … …
Yang Kewang confessed that he buried the body behind a kiln factory in Guanyinshan Town.
He hasn't visited her in the past sixteen years. He said that the woman he killed had actually been by his side for the past sixteen years.
He had gotten used to having her around.
Of course, such words would not be recorded, which could prevent this guy from trying to play tricks with the gimmick of mental illness.
However, Zhou Ze knew that this guy was not playing tricks on purpose.
The police took Yang Kewang with them.
Allowing the suspect to go to the scene to testify and state the facts of the case is an indispensable part of the judicial investigation process;
Furthermore,
Yang Kewang himself also needs to go to the scene to provide a confirmed location.
The kiln factory has closed down long ago, but it has been preserved. A few years ago, there was a plan to develop commercial land here, but because the developer wanted to play tricks on commercial and residential land, the land was stuck and not given. Over time, the land was temporarily shelved.
Opposite the kiln factory was a small river. Yang Kewang pointed to 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 digable. I even wrapped it in a plastic bag."
Yang Kewang remained calm.
So calm, as if the whole thing had nothing to do with him.
His attitude really makes people want to beat him up, but he probably already wants to die. It doesn’t matter to him whether you beat him up or not. He may even beg you:
A little harder, a little harder!
The tools had been prepared long ago. Except for the police officers who were responsible for maintaining order in the surrounding area and preventing the onlookers from approaching, the rest of the police officers were holding shovels and starting to dig!
The range given by Yang Kewang is not really big, but if you say it is small, it is not small if you just dig with a shovel.
Zhang Yanfeng was holding two shovels and was ready to look for Zhou Ze.
only,
When he approached Zhou Ze who was sitting under a tree enjoying the cool,
He noticed that Zhou Ze was looking at him and the extra shovel in his hand with a warning look.
After a moment's hesitation,
Zhang Yanfeng still didn't send it over.
Lawyer An drank some water and fanned himself, "Boss, I suddenly thought of something."
"What's up?"
"That is, if a person's mobile phone is given to another person to operate, does this mean that most people will be difficult to detect even if they die?"
"Found it!" a policeman shouted.
It's very quick.
Zhou Ze stood up, walked over, and saw a long object wrapped in a white plastic bag.
The forensic doctor stepped forward and cut open the plastic bag with a knife, revealing the bones inside.
Immediately,
A foul odor hit my nose.
Everyone around immediately covered their noses.
Zhou Ze and the forensic doctor looked at the corpse together.
Suddenly,
Zhou Ze and the female forensic doctor said in unison:
"This is a male corpse!"
Although the bones and flesh are no longer there, professionals can still tell at a glance whether it is a man or a woman.
Lao Zhang was stunned for a moment, "Male?"
"Captain, I found it here too."
"Report, I have some here too!"
"Report, I have it here too."
“I have some here too!”
"Captain, I found it here too!"
"Report… … "
