"I have an impression of this person." Li Xiang pointed to Kitano's photo and said eagerly, "It's him."
"have you seen?"
"He has been following Chen Nian."
Zheng Yi and Lao Yang looked at each other, then looked at the head teacher, who asked, "Did you see clearly?"
"Of course, I've seen him twice, sneaking behind Chen Nian, but she didn't notice." Li Xiang described in detail to the police how he and Chen Nian were on the same road twice.
After that, Zheng Yi nodded, indicating that he could leave.
Lao Yang opened the notebook to record, and there was one more objective evidence.
Then Xu Miao also came to testify, saying that he had seen Beiye at the gate of the school, and he kept staring at her with a half smile. Because he was a good-looking boy, she thought he was interested in her.
Xu Miao said: "It turned out that he was looking for a target."
More evidence of him wandering around the school, picking out girls with his eyes, and even stalking.
The news of the Raincoat Man's arrest spread widely among the classmates. Classmates who had been to the teacher's office to talk to the police, such as Li Xiang and Xu Miao, were surrounded by people as soon as they returned to the classroom to inquire about the situation.
Chen Nian sat on his seat and endorsed the letter, turning a deaf ear. There are only 2 days until the college entrance examination. As things came to an end, she didn't have the slightest expectation for this exam.
Halfway through, I heard the students talking:
"It's locked up. Can't visit, can't visit."
"But he has no father or mother, and no one will see him."
"Who said he didn't have a mother?"
"Hehe, speaking of his parents, a mouse will burrow, and a rapist's son is also a rapist."
"It's still a level up, and I've become a murderer."
The language is magical enough. Listening to civilization, every sentence stabs the spine and cuts the bone.
Chen Nian got up from his seat and walked out, bumping into Li Xiang head-on. He sighed for the rest of her life: "Chen Nian, I said at the time that the boy was following you, you still don't believe it."
Chen Nian's face was pale and expressionless.
The whole school knew that she almost encountered an "unexpected event", and the classmates took turns to come to comfort her.
The concern and comfort are real, as are the curiosity and inquiries.
Chen Nian didn't answer at all, and Xiaomi blocked her and drove away the "reporters" who came to ask questions.
At this moment, Li Xiang said these words, Xiaomi gave him a warning look, Li Xiang was annoyed again and apologized quickly.
Chen Nian left the classroom.
But he couldn't live in peace anywhere, and when he went to the corridor, he met Zheng Yi and others who just came out of the head teacher's office, and it was too late to escape.
Zheng Yi asked Lao Yang and the others to go first and come to see Chen Nian's situation. She was indifferent, not in a bad mood, just like her usual self.
He asked a few questions about his studies as usual, and she answered tepidly.
At the end, Zheng Yi said: "Don't be affected by recent events, calm down and prepare for the exam, and don't put too much pressure on yourself."
Chen Nian lowered his head and nodded.
Zheng Yi remembered the time when he sent her to and from school. She seldom answered what he said, and always nodded or shook her head. But she wasn't like that back then. At that time, he could feel her mood, at ease and vaguely happy; unlike now, it was as silent as stagnant water.
He looked down at her, and suddenly realized that her ponytail was not as well combed as before, and a lot of broken hair fell out, fluffy, like a drooping sunflower.
She was not in the mood to speak, and he was worried about putting pressure on her here, so he said, "I'll go first, and when you finish the exam, I'll invite you to dinner."
Chen Nian raised his head and asked, "That person..."
She hesitated, he waited,
"Will you go to jail?"
"Definitely. If it weren't for age, it would have been life or death." Zheng Yi said, looking into her eyes, she said, "That's a pity."
Zheng Yi added: "Wei Lai is dead, but I will take care of Luo Ting and the others."
Chen Nian didn't speak, his face was as pale as ever, without any fluctuations.
Zheng Yi walked down the stairs, feeling ironic again.
He had dealt with the case of "contradictions" between Zeng Hao and Wei Lai, as well as the unfounded case of Hu Xiaodie. At that time, Luo Ting and the others were just as disobedient as Wei Lai. But this time, Luo Ting and others were shocked by Wei Lai's death, and they restrained.
"Officer Zheng!" A greeting brought him back to his senses, it was Zeng Hao.
Zeng Hao had a good impression of him and greeted him warmly. Zheng Yi's greetings were nothing more than words of encouragement for the exam.
At the end, he asked, "Is Chen Nian alright this time?"
"When you encounter that kind of thing, you will feel a little down, but she is very quiet and doesn't talk much. So she doesn't seem to have changed." Zeng Hao thought about it and said, "Chen Nian is the kind of person who is very good at hiding his emotions. "
Zheng Yi nodded as understanding, and said, "You are classmates. The exam is about to take place. Help her, encourage her, and encourage her. Like you, she has also been bullied."
"I know that she and I belong to the same country." Zeng Hao said, remembering something, and said, "However, Wei Lai should not have left her any shadows."
"How to say?"
"I feel." Zeng Hao said, "When Wei Lai didn't disappear before, I was 'reconciled' with Wei Lai. At that time, all the blame was on Chen Nian. I apologized to her. But Chen Nian said that someone protected her. ."
Zheng Yi was taken aback: "When did you say that?"
…
Zheng Yi was heartbroken and remorseful; he didn't know if the person Chen Nian was talking about was him, but he didn't protect her well.
He could clearly feel that Chen Nian had fortified him.
The case was clearly about to end, but it always gave him an inexplicable confusion.
He walked out of the corridor, stood under the bright sun and took a big breath.
Young laughter came from overhead.
Zheng Yi looked up and saw that many students on the teaching floor were tearing up books, and colorful paper planes filled with handwriting were flying all over the sky, cutting the sunlight into pieces.
The teenagers laughed and laughed. Youth, how wonderful.
…
Zheng Yi led someone to search Kitano's house and found no new clues, except for a few strands of hair that looked like Chen Nian. Considering that Chen Nian was the target of Kitano's attack and was brought home by Kitano, this is not much evidence.
Zheng Yi deliberately flipped through Shimo Kitano's books. There were only a few of them, but they were all comics.
He roughly deduced Kitano's daily reading type, and then thinking about the corpse swamp, he gradually dispelled Kitano's suspicion of choosing there to preserve the evidence of the corpse. It is said that it is just that there are few people who are far away and it is not easy to be discovered.
Zheng Yi remembered a case that Lao Yang had told him about. Once a prisoner murdered someone and wanted to bury him in the asphalt so that he would not be found. He never imagined that after many years, the body did not decompose, but the evidence was completely preserved and he was arrested. Grasp.
In reality, there are always unexpected Skynets and Divine Retributions, which catch criminals by surprise.
Just like Kitano, he only thought that no one would go to the swamp, but he did not expect that the body and evidence were well preserved.
Back at the bureau, when Lao Yang brought the first two girls who were victimized to identify people, Zheng Yi asked, "What was the result of the identification?"
Lao Yang said: "The two girls both said that they felt that Kitano's body was very similar to the person who violated them."
Zheng Yi was silent for a moment and said, "Show me the transcript."
The first two rape victims wrote: "...it seemed like he was... messy, unsure,... it's been a long time,... a bit like... "
Zheng Yi said: "It's just 'like'."
Lao Yang looked at him for a while and put him on his shoulder: "Zheng Yi, do you have reservations about this case?"
Zheng Yi told the truth: "It feels very strange. I couldn't find any clues in the early stage, but in the later stage, it was as smooth as opening the gate and releasing the water."
"You have little experience." Lao Yang said, "Many cases cannot be explained with common sense. Some suspects struggle to try and investigate many times, but they can't find the key flaws; some suspects don't care about the case. Attitude, once caught, spit everything out, neither embarrassing the police nor embarrassing yourself.”
"I know that. Everyone's attitude towards life is different." Zheng Yi said, "But Lao Yang, I think we still have to search Houshan in a carpet-like manner. The last time we searched Houshan's plan, the suspect suddenly The capture was interrupted."
"You want to turn the whole mountain?" Lao Yang said, "Three days ago, we took Kitano to the back mountain to identify the location of the crime. Colleagues from the forensic team dug up the soil and tested the blood reaction from the soil. Kitano's own hair, he didn't pay attention when he buried the blood, and a hair was lost inside, the evidence is more conclusive."
Zheng Yi was speechless after hearing what he said. After a long time, he asked himself, "But what if there are other places?"
Lao Yang didn't hear clearly: "What?"
"nothing."
Seeing that he still had something on his mind, Lao Yang said: "Also, the knife thrown in the river was recovered, and the murder weapon was completely consistent with the wound of the deceased. However, after soaking in the water for too long, nothing could be extracted, but the blade was still on the edge. There is a slight blood reaction. The forensic department is trying to see if it is human blood. If you are lucky, you may be able to determine the blood type.
—Chen Nian was caught on the spot that time, plus his own admission, all descriptions are in line, what do you doubt? "
"There's one more thing I don't understand."
"What's up?"
"He was careful and thoughtful enough to remove all the clothes of the deceased. Why are the shirts stained with the blood of the deceased and the raincoat still there?"
"I didn't keep it. The shirts and raincoats were all found by us in the garbage dump near the factory. They were burned, and it took a lot of effort to collect evidence."
"This discard range is too close."
"I asked him, and he said that he had no intention of missing his shirt when cleaning the clothes, and then he didn't move for a long time. He relaxed his vigilance thinking that it was all right, and burned it at home and threw it out."
This explanation is also reasonable.
But Zheng Yi still finds it strange. He always thinks that when he burns things, he should burn all the scum, instead of leaving small but deadly evidence.
However, this may be because he thought too much.
This case is indeed closing.
The rainy season has passed for a long time, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter.
On June 7, the temperature reached 38 degrees. The air conditioner or fan in the examination room is adjusted to the maximum, so that the candidates are not affected by the hot weather.
Just when Kitano's case was about to come to an end, Zheng Yi began to investigate Chen Nian's bullying. The person who passed by the day of the bullying, the boy who disappeared with Wei Lai, vaguely thought that Wei Lai's disappearance was inseparable from that incident, but it happened. The process of that event was blurry.
In addition, he also began to investigate Kitano's friends.
The class where Kitano was studying broke up early, and the classmates went their separate ways. The teacher gave him a very poor evaluation, which was almost the criminal portrait described by Lao Yang, withdrawn and indifferent, and so on.
But Zheng Yi still found the auntie and a few classmates in the orphanage, and found out that he had two close friends: Dakang and Lai Zi.
Lai Zi went to Guangdong, Dakang stayed in Xicheng, and had already found an auto repair shop to work.
On June 8, near noon, Zheng Yi found the repair shop under the scorching sun. Dakang was repairing his car. After listening to his explanation, he immediately turned his face and drove him out, even yelling: "You are all criminals! "
"What kind of rapist? He's not that kind of person at all. I know a lot of people who break the criminal standard, and meet that standard, so why don't you arrest them all? You discriminate against him just because his parents are not good. His father is a prisoner, so he has to be?"
Zheng Yi stopped him and said, "He admitted it himself."
Dakang said: "It must be you who persecuted it."
"This is not ancient times, no one forced him. I came to you just to investigate this matter more clearly."
However, in addition to subjectively believing that Kitano was not a prisoner, Dakang had no objective evidence. Zheng Yi specifically asked when several cases occurred, but Dakang was not with Kitano at the time of the incident, and he could not think of an alibi.
Zheng Yi asked, "Where's another friend named Lai Qing? You call and ask."
"Lazy," Dakang replied angrily as he tightened the screw with the wrench, "I couldn't get in touch for a long time. I had a fight with him, and he was very angry."
Zheng Yi had an impression of Lai Zi. Back then, Lao Yang's list of twenty or thirty suspects included this young man named Lai Qing, and he had all kinds of information on his height and weight. Speaking of them, the three of them are really about the same height and thinness.
He felt that he had failed again and walked out of the auto repair shop, but there was an inexplicable trace of strangeness in his mind. He retrieved a photo from his phone, walked back to Dakang, and asked, "Have you seen this girl?"
Dakang wiped the sweat off his forehead, leaving a black mimeograph. He squinted for a while. In the photo is a girl in a school uniform with a ponytail and thin arms and calves.
"I'm not sure if it's her."
"she?"
"Well. I think I have seen this woman." Dakang said, "Xiao Bei said he sent her money. A lot of money."
