Yang Nankeruo is still alive and should be 27 years old this year.
Three years ago, he lived in Lucheng, a small town near the border in the north, which was very far away from Luocheng. He once studied in a third-rate university in the provincial capital of his hometown. After graduation, he returned to Lucheng and found a leisurely job. He set his sights on a house in the center of the city. His parents, Yang Juncheng and Huang Xia, paid the down payment. My sister Yang Yan, who is five years older, supports her monthly payment.
With the help of his family, Yang Nanke's life was very enjoyable. Before the age of 24, he made several girlfriends one after another, but they didn't get along for a long time. As soon as he returned to his parents' house, he was nagged by Huang Xia.
The Yang family is not a wealthy family, but Huang Xia and Yang Juncheng both have stable jobs and their incomes are above average in Lucheng. As the youngest son in the family, Yang Nanke was doted on and grew up. He couldn't listen to discipline and became angry when he was disciplined. After parting ways with his girlfriend again, he quarreled with Huang Xia at the dinner table, threw his chopsticks and left, leaving a sentence in the corridor "Don't fuck me again".
Huang Xia was also angry, and it was useless to appease Yang Juncheng and Yang Yan.
Yang Yan suggested cold treatment first. Anyway, the younger brother has a house, a job, and an income. He can't freeze if he is not hungry. The family is separated for a period of time, and the younger brother will come back naturally after he understands it.
Half a month later, Huang Xia missed her son, but after a call, Yang Nanke's cell phone had been shut down. She took Yang Juncheng and hurried to the community where Yang Nanke was located, took the spare key to open the door, and found that the tables, chairs, and sofas were covered with gray cloths, and the breath of life had long since disappeared.
Huang Xia panicked immediately. The couple went to Yang Nanke's company to inquire, and the person in charge was full of surprise, "Yang Nanke resigned ten days ago, saying that he wanted to see the scenery that he had never seen before. Hey, it's actually a resignation tour, and young people have no sense of responsibility and are always moving. I just want to see the world. What, you don't know?"
Knowing that Yang Nanke was on a trip and not an accident, Yang Juncheng was a little relieved, but Huang Xia was still frightened and washed her face in tears, "I shouldn't have quarreled with Ke'er, it's all my fault, he must have quarreled with me. , I went out for a trip when I was in a bad mood. He was alone, what should I do if something happened on the road? "
Yang Juncheng persuaded Huang Xia to go home, but the couple did not have the awareness of calling the police. They could not contact Yang Nanke until a month later, so they went to the police station with Yang Yan to report.
Yang Nanke was traveling and cut off contact with his family by himself. In fact, he did not agree with the conditions for filing a case. But in small cities, no matter what kind of business, the operability is relatively high.
With the help of the Yang family, the police started a case investigation and determined that after Yang Nanke resigned from the company, he traveled by car, and the last time he left his identity information was in a village 900 kilometers away from Lucheng.
The Yang family begged the police to continue the investigation, but in this case, further investigation is likely to be a waste of police force. Finally, the police collected Yang Nanke's DNA information at Yang Nanke's house.
It was this missing person's DNA information that determined the source of the residual blood in Hou Cheng's basement.
There is a picture of Yang Nanke on the internal system of the public security, a young man who is clean and handsome.
Xiao Yu'an passed the photo to Mingshu who was still in Qingyue Village. Mingshu found Hou Ximei and Wang Youqun, and both nodded, "It's him! What I see is him!"
After learning from Xiao Yu'an that his melon field had been opened, Hou Cheng's mood became very unstable.
At present, he still refuses to admit to killing Yang Nanke.
"Why do you say I murdered? Just because of that little blood?" Hou Cheng called Yang Nanke "Little Dragon", which was probably the pseudonym Yang Nanke used to travel by car, "Xiaolong lives in my house and helps me clean up the basement. He broke his skin and bleed a little, so you think I killed him? You can go to Qingyue Village and ask, someone must have seen him leave my house at that time! I didn't kill anyone!"
In Hou Ximei's testimony, Yang Nanke did leave from Hou Cheng's house one morning.
But this does not prove that Hou Cheng is innocent.
Hou Cheng could completely let Yang Nanke leave on purpose. When Yang Nanke walked out of Qingyue Village from the sight of the villagers, he would catch up quietly and bring Yang Nanke back by car for a reason that he had thought in advance.
Hou Cheng's house was originally in the corner of Qingyue Village. Yang Nanke was sitting on a tricycle. As long as it was well shielded, it was easy to avoid everyone's sight.
Xiao Yuan observed Hou Cheng for a while, and suddenly the topic changed, "Okay, let's not talk about Yang Nanke for the time being, let's talk about your parents first."
Hou Cheng's face became extremely ugly, "You are not qualified to disturb their rest!"
"Then what qualifications do you have to bury them in the melon fields?" Xiao Yuan said: "The government protects the past burial tombs, but this does not mean that you can dig up the bones buried in the burial tombs and bury them in the melon fields. ."
Hou Cheng gasped, "They are my parents, I can bury them wherever I want! The graves are too far away from me, I can't feel them, how good they are buried in the fields, so close to me, I work every day. If I can see them, they also look at me, and bless my melon fields with good harvests!"
Xiao Yu'an said, "I have never seen someone as filial as you."
This remark obviously stimulated Hou Cheng, and Hou Cheng's eyes burst with light, "Of course! I love my parents, I always feel that they are still by my side, I am not married, and have no children, and I accompany them day and night, of course I The most filial person in the world!"
A person who considers himself the most filial.
A man who ignored the village elder's father.
Hou Cheng and Hou Pao, a bizarre motive that conforms to the logic of Hou Cheng's behavior appears faintly.
Xiao Yu'an had already grasped this point and asked, "So for you, do people who have no filial piety deserve to die?"
Hou Cheng was immersed in a strong sense of self-appreciation, and said loudly: "Unfilial to parents is the greatest sin! Not only should you be killed, but you should also be cut into pieces!"
Xiao Yu's heart sank.
Hou Pao may have been killed for being unfilial, and Yang Nanke was killed because of his unfilial piety.
Some people deserve to die.
The heart of the tomb is not only "hunting the devil" in the book, but also raised the "hunting devil" butcher's knife in reality.
"I didn't kill anyone." Hou Cheng gradually calmed down, "Xiaolong just stayed at my house for a few days, and I don't even know his real name!"
Xiao Yuan shook his head, "Are you willing to plead guilty unless I find Yang Nanke's skeleton?"
Hou Cheng's eyes were as huge as lamps, and he stared at Xiao Yu'an arrogantly but fearfully.
"The case has been investigated for the sake of it. Everything you've tried so hard to hide is being uncovered by me and my team members." Xiao Yuan stood up, cold and dignified, "We can even find Yang Nanke's bloodstain, can't we find it? His skeleton?"
Hou Cheng couldn't help shaking, his shoulders collapsed, as if he had thought of some possibility, the fear in his eyes overwhelmed the arrogance, "You..."
"You advocate 'demon hunting', and before writing the 'demon hunting' into the book, you have already completed the real 'demon hunting'." Xiao Yu settled down, "Not only that, you also learned from the experience of killing Yang Nanke. Inspired by it.”
Hou Cheng's eyes widened, almost reaching the limit.
"So the killing process you write is always so vivid, so... exciting." Xiao Yu'an lowered his eyelids under the bright light, "When I read your first book, I thought about why your protagonist would put one of the victims inside Cemetery, this is so unreasonable, where is the cemetery where he can jam people? Isn't it easier to expose himself to the police's sight? Just now I suddenly realized that you are a typical 'art comes from life' ."
Hou Cheng's face was pale, and his wrinkles kept shaking.
Xiao Yu'an said: "More than ten years ago, you dug your parents out of the tomb and buried them in the melon field without knowing it. The tomb was vacant immediately, and you stopped taking care of it and left it desolate. Three years ago, you killed the unfilial Yang Nanke in the basement of your house. When the smell of the corpse became more and more obvious and you had to move the corpse away, you were scared, confused, and didn't know where to bury it. It's not safe for you, except your own melon fields, no matter where you throw the body, you are worried about being discovered. But burying your own parents in the melon fields and burying another Yang Nanke is a blasphemy to your parents. "
Hou Cheng shook his head, "No, it's not like that!"
Xiao Yu'an ignored it and continued: "Then where will it be buried? Where will it not be found? You suddenly think of the grave of Qingyue Village, and the tomb on it will not be removed for at least the next thirty years! "
"Ah!" Hou Cheng roared and slammed his fist on the interrogation table.
"Death is a great thing. You transfer Yang Nanke's body to your parents' tomb. This is indeed the safest way." Xiao Yu'an said, "Now, do you still think I can't find Yang Nanke's skeleton?"
"What?" Mingshu said in shock, "Yang Nanke is in the tomb of Hou Cheng's parents?"
"Yes." Xiao Yu'an's voice came from the phone, "I have discussed with the Hua team, and a team of special police will be sent over immediately. Once the people arrive, you will immediately seal the grave and open the tomb of Hou Cheng's parents."
Mingshu took a deep breath.
Opening a tomb in the countryside is a no-brainer, so Xiao Yu'an and Hua Chong sent special police here.
Not long ago, he had such concerns on the tomb mountain. He heard the village cadres repeatedly stress that "death is the greatest", so he did not open the tomb.
Now Xiao Yuan said with great certainty that Yang Nanke was buried in the tomb of Hou Cheng's parents.
Then the burial tomb had to be opened.
It was midnight when the special police arrived in Qingyue Village. When I heard that the police were going to open a tomb in the grave, almost all the villagers came out. Several village officials wanted to stop them, but they received a call from Hou Jianjun halfway through.
Hou Jianjun stayed at the city bureau, his voice was too old, "Let them go! Let them go! Hou Cheng has committed a crime, let's not cover him up!"
Under the leadership of the village cadres, the villagers retreated out of the warning zone one after another.
Half of the tomb hill was illuminated as bright as day, and Ming Shu stood by the tomb and watched the tomb sealer open with his own eyes.
The two coffins were placed side by side in the tomb, which made people feel a little chill.
The tomb sealer put down the cement board and stepped aside, unwilling to touch the coffin.
In the hearts of ordinary people, it is not auspicious to open the tomb of someone who has passed away for decades.
Ming Shu raised his chin towards Fang Yuanhang, "Let's come."
The lid of a pair of coffins was removed, and the inside was empty and nothing.
The detectives looked solemn. Although they were used to seeing all kinds of corpses, this was the first time they had picked up coffins to find bones.
The cover of the second coffin was also slowly removed, and what appeared inside was a huge cloth bag full of old bloodstains.
An unpleasant odor filled the air, and many criminal policemen pulled the masks on their faces.
"I... I'm fucked!" Fang Yuanhang swallowed hard, holding the corner of the cloth bag with his gloved hand.
The cloth bag is not heavy and can be pulled out with one hand.
The forensic doctor cut open the bag, and everyone frowned.
Soon after the corpse was ossified, the soft tissue was gray and attached to the bones like mud.
"This is Yang Nanke." Fang Yuanhang looked at Mingshu, "Is there anyone else besides him?"
Mingshu didn't answer and asked the forensic doctor, "Can you preliminarily determine the cause of death?"
The forensic doctor picked up the severely damaged head and said after a moment: "The brain suffered a blunt blow."
A cruel picture unfolded in front of Mingshu's eyes - three years ago, in the dark basement, Yang Nanke was looking at something, completely defenseless, Hou Cheng quietly appeared behind him and raised the tool hammer in his hand.
Before sunrise, the bloodstain test results came out. The blood on the cloth bag and the blood in the basement belonged to Yang Nanke.
At the same moment, his father Yang Juncheng and his sister Yang Yan had arrived in Los Angeles, and waiting for them was a pile of cold bones.
Yang Juncheng collapsed on the spot, crying in the city bureau, his voice echoed in the hall illuminated by the rising sun—
"Who killed my son!"
"why why?"
"Nanke! My son! Dad, I'm sorry for you!"
Finally unable to deny it anymore, Hou Cheng heard Yang Juncheng's shout, and suddenly let out a strange and permeating laughter.
Ming Shu personally sent Yang Nanke's skeleton back to Luocheng, and he didn't sleep all night. At this time, he slapped the interrogation table like a gavel.
The laughter stopped abruptly.
Hou Cheng bulged his eyes, and after a brief stunned start, he started slowly, "Yes, I killed Xiaolong, because he deserves to die! Why do you judge me?"
Mingshu said coldly: "You killed someone, committed a crime, and still want to escape the punishment of the law?"
Hou Cheng shouted, "I didn't kill anyone!"
Mingshu said, "Have you forgotten? You said just a minute ago that you killed Xiaolong."
"But I didn't kill people." Hou Cheng said excitedly: "I killed demons! The ones I called to kill were also demons! They have a human skin, and they are no longer human!"
Mingshu said word by word, "You are finally willing to admit that you wrote a book calling for murder!"
"Some people deserve to die! They deserve to die!" Hou Cheng suddenly stretched out his right index finger and middle finger, poking his eyes, "I can see much better than you police officers! You are wearing police uniforms, Putting on the air of greatness, but you only know how to protect the devil, and you say that sin will not kill you, you are all the accomplices of the devil, you should die too!"
Xiao Yuan folded his arms beside the monitor and watched the situation in the interrogation room.
Mingshu was not provoked, "You think Yang Nanke deserves to die? Why? Didn't you kill him to make a fake identity for yourself? Play your trick of reversing and reversing?"
Hou Cheng's hands were already handcuffed.
He was writhing frequently, making bursts of noise.
"Yang Nanke is not filial." He said, "I'm helping his parents get rid of harm!"
Mingshu said sternly: "Full of nonsense!"
At this time, in the reception room of the Criminal Investigation Detachment of the Los Angeles City Bureau, Yang Juncheng, who was full of white hair, was crying almost unconscious, and Yang Yan was also unable to cry.
In the distant city of Lu, Huang Xia fell ill after hearing the news of her son's murder, and is still in the hospital for rescue.
Yang Nanke has been missing for three years. Under the circumstance that the police can do nothing, the Yang family has never given up hope. They have been searching for their son's whereabouts by their own methods and waiting for their safe return.
Even though Yang Nanke was unfilial, they chose to forgive.
Their biggest wish is to see Yang Nanke standing in front of them again, even if they continue to be awkward about changing girlfriends, even if they continue to ask the family for money.
Hou Cheng actually said that by killing Yang Nanke, he was killing Yang Nanke's parents.
How absurd this is!
Mingshu couldn't help but think of Lu Kun.
After killing the two children, Lu Kun also said that they deserved to die, that he was killing the people.
But no matter how evil the child is, it should not be judged by Lu Kun's knife.
Yang Nanke's unfilial filial piety should not be judged by Hou Cheng.
These people under the banner of "some people deserve to die" have gone utterly insane.
In an extremely excited state, Hou Cheng began to tell the story of the killing of Yang Nanke—
Three years ago, on the way back to Qingyue Village from the town, Hou Cheng was stopped by Yang Nanke, who was carrying a travel bag.
"Uncle, can you take me a piece?"
Hou Cheng didn't like interacting with people, but Yang Nanke insisted on getting on the bus.
On the way, Yang Nanke kept talking, almost conspicuously telling his experience of traveling from the northern border to the south.
Hou Cheng asked, "You're young, so you don't work anymore?"
"What's your job?" Yang Nanke said disdainfully, "I have only one son in my family, and I have an older sister who is already married. My parents bought me a house, and the monthly payment is paid by my older sister and my brother-in-law. Now I am a family with a house. Sooner or later the house at home will be mine too, work is so tiring, why don’t you come out to see the great mountains and rivers of the motherland, and go home and eat the old man after you finish your money!”
Hou Cheng stepped on the brake and looked back at Yang Nanke.
Yang Nanke was stunned by the unexpected brake, and his forehead almost hit the iron door.
He said half-jokingly and half-seriously, "Uncle, are you kidding me?"
A fierce indignation welled up in Hou Cheng's chest.
Unlike Yang Nanke, whose parents are still alive, he lost both parents when he was a teenager.
He was born in Qingyue Village and lived with his father Hou Jiangfeng and his mother Xu Hong for eleven years.
At that time, he was not withdrawn, just introverted, and he preferred to go to the fields to help his parents with farm work rather than playing with children of the same age.
The old man in the village said that the child is too clingy, like a girl.
When I was 11 years old, it was raining all spring and summer, and the melon fields were hit by disasters. Every household had no harvest. It was almost impossible to open the pot. Hou Jiangfeng said to Xu Hong, Xiaocheng cost a lot of money to go to school. I went to work in the city, and you were at home. Rest well and take care of the children.
Xu Hong insisted on sending Hou Jiangfeng into the city, but CMB encountered a landslide on the road, and a carload of people was buried inside. When the troops arrived, Hou Jiangfeng and Xu Hong were both dead.
Hou Cheng became an orphan and lived alone on pension, old house, and melon fields. His greatest regret in adulthood was that he did not have the opportunity to honor his parents.
More than ten years ago, he dug up the bones of Hou Jiangfeng and Xu Hong and buried them in the melon field. He imagined that every watermelon produced was a gift and blessing from his parents.
What he despises the most is an unfilial son like Yang Nanke who is in the midst of happiness and does not know his happiness.
