Detective with Mind-Reading Powers in the '90s

In 1991, Zhao Xiangwan entered Hunan Police Academy, but a late-night knock on the door threw her into a chaotic family drama.

When her eleven-year-old adopted sister, Meimei, lost her younge...

Chapter 66 Heart Anchor

Chapter 66 Heart Anchor

◎The net of heaven is vast and wide, nothing can escape it◎

The serious crime squad keeps receiving good news.

When the Fan family's ancestral tomb was dug up, Ruan Wu's body was found.

Nguyen Wu's family thought he had committed some crime and had fled, and they had a glimmer of hope that he would come back, so they kept his belongings intact. The police took several sets of fingerprints, selected Nguyen Wu's, and compared it with the fingerprints of the 3rd Hospital shooting case, which was a perfect match. Although there was only half a fingerprint, it could still be used as valid evidence to support the case.

The victim of the reservoir dumping case has found his family. Yan Yi is 19 years old this year, a freshman. He worked in a bar during the summer vacation to earn tuition fees. However, he met Fan Hongwei and Cao Deren, who bullied him because he was from another place, raped him and killed him. After comparison, the semen remaining in Yan Yi's body matched that of Fan Hongwei and Cao Deren, and Yan Yi's teeth and finger joints also had human tissue, which all matched Cao Deren's DNA.

The Criminal Technology Center established by Miao Hui provided great support for this case.

In the early 1990s, DNA testing required comparing basic charts section by section, which was time-consuming and labor-intensive. Miao Hui organized a special team that worked around the clock and completed all the testing work in just one week.

The serious crime unit immediately applied for an arrest warrant and arrested Fan Hongwei and Cao Deren. The director of the Urban Construction Bureau, Yang Xugang, accepted the summons.

After being arrested, Fan Hongwei felt that his life had taken a sharp turn for the worse.

He was the only son in the family. His parents had three daughters before giving birth to him. He was treated like a treasure and was spoiled. If he wanted to pick the stars in the sky, his father would immediately build a ladder for him. If he wanted the moon in the water, his mother would immediately jump into the lake.

When he grew up, he was physically strong and loved to stir up trouble. He skipped school all day and made friends with gangsters. Seeing that he was not good at studying, his parents gritted their teeth and sent him to practice martial arts. After several years of study, he gradually made some progress and rarely had any opponents in a fight.

Seeing that Fan Hongwei was still idling around at the age of 20, his father Fan Xingfu retired early and let him take over as a truck driver for a transportation company. After less than two years, he got into a fight with his colleagues and sent three people to the hospital. Fan Hongwei himself didn't care, but Fan Xingfu was very scared. He gave gifts and said nice things, begged Cai Chang of the Wufulu Police Station for help, emptied his family's savings to pay compensation, and finally cleared his criminal record. Unexpectedly, the transportation company still fired Fan Hongwei.

Fan Hongwei became an unemployed vagrant.

After that, Fan Hongwei's life suddenly seemed to be on a roll. He hooked up with the leaders of the Urban Construction Bureau, drove a car, got into the system, married a doctor in the hospital, had a son, and became the director of the demolition office. Every year during the Qingming Festival, when Fan Xingfu visited his ancestors, he would bring his children and grandchildren to thank the ancestors for their blessings. First, he thanked the Fan family for continuing to carry on the incense; second, he thanked his son for his successful career.

Fan Hongwei thought that his life would always be smooth.

He never thought about it at all. He just picked up his wife from get off work and showed his affection in a small restaurant on the way. He just didn't like Qiao Mo and taught him a lesson. He just flirted with Ji Zhao and took advantage of him secretly... Then, his life suddenly entered the darkest moment.

First, one of his eyes was gouged out and the eyeball was removed;

Then, she was tortured by Gu Wenjiao on the hospital bed. Ten fingernails were pulled out and all the finger bones were broken. The ten fingers are connected to the heart, and the pain was heart-wrenching!

Before he had a chance to ask his parents for help, Gu Wenjiao reported him for murder, with Cao Deren's recording as evidence. The police quickly detained him and did not allow him to contact the outside world.

Gu Wenjiao's "care" made Fan Hongwei regret it!

Especially when he saw the private parts covered by the dirty rag began to turn red, swollen and shiny, he knew it was over. His life, his pride, his masculinity, were all over.

Gu Wenjiao did what she said and successfully treated Fan Hongwei's vital edema and inflammation, and glomerular necrosis, so the doctor had to recommend removal. The doctor's diagnosis, the family's opinion, the consent form for surgery... the procedures were completely compliant and legal.

Even if the Fan family came to make trouble, they could not blame the hospital at all. At most, they could only scold Gu Wenjiao for being ignorant. How could she so rashly agree to such an operation that would end her family lineage?

From the hospital, directly to the police station, Fan Hongwei didn't even have a chance to see his family. In the end, he could only humble himself and beg Gu Wenjiao: "Wenjiao, my parents are old, I'm worried about their health, can you let me talk to them?"

Gu Wenjiao looked coldly, "Don't worry. I've told them that the leader has sent you and Cao Deren on a business trip and they are not in the city for the time being. I also told them that it is a critical time for your promotion, so don't go to your unit to ask, so as not to affect your career. Your parents have always been proud of you and are looking forward to your promotion and wealth. After I said this, they will definitely stay in the old house of the transportation company and will definitely not find the hospital."

Seeing that pleading was useless, Fan Hongwei could only grit his teeth and curse: "You vicious woman, you shall not die a happier death!"

Gu Wenjiao found this extremely ridiculous and laughed out loud: "Aren't you the one who will die a miserable death?"

Fan Hongwei had no choice but to accept the current predicament.

However, he still had a glimmer of hope - if he refused to plead guilty, there might still be a glimmer of hope.

The day finally arrived when the police interrogated him.

Considering that the suspect had just undergone surgery, the serious crime team temporarily set up a single ward as an interrogation room.

Like the interrogation room at the Public Security Bureau, it also had a blue-gray terrazzo floor and snow-white walls, the only difference being that on one wall there were eight large characters written: "Severe punishment for resisting, leniency for confessing."

Two tables used exclusively in the hospital were connected in a straight line, with four chairs behind them.

Xu Songling and Gao Guangqiang were in charge of the interrogation, Zhu Feipeng was in charge of taking notes, and Zhao Xiangwan was in attendance.

Facing the table was a hospital bed with raised railings. With his head wrapped in gauze and one eye exposed, Fan Hongwei, who had just undergone a ball removal surgery, was half-sitting on the bed, with his hands handcuffed to the bed railings, accepting police interrogation.

Fan Hongwei looked reluctant, closed his eyes and refused to respond.

The serious crime unit has seen many suspects like this. Interrogation is a psychological warfare. The police currently have sufficient evidence of murder, but they also need Fan Hongwei to confess and explain the crime process.

Xu Songling signaled Gao Guangqiang to start.

Gao Guangqiang coughed: "Fan Hongwei?"

Fan Hongwei: …

Gao Guangqiang: "Did you kill Ruan Wu?"

Fan Hongwei: …

Gao Guangqiang: "Do you know Yan Yi?"

Fan Hongwei: …

However, his eyebrows moved slightly.

After asking a few more questions and still getting no response, Gao Guangqiang's voice gradually became louder: "Do you know Cai Chang? Why do you want to kill him?"

Fan Hongwei finally opened one eye and glanced at Gao Guangqiang: "Oh, it's Officer Gao."

New and old hatreds surged in his heart. Even after seeing Fan Hongwei in such a miserable state, Gao Guangqiang still couldn't let go of his hatred: "Cai Chang helped you so that you didn't have a criminal record, so that you could enter the agency. Why did you kill him?"

Fan Hongwei curled his lips and said, "What do you think Tsai Chang is?"

Gao Guangqiang slammed the table and said, "At least he helped you, but you are repaying kindness with hatred!"

Fan Hongwei snorted and closed his eyes again, unwilling to speak any more. The anesthesia had worn off and he felt unbearable pain in his lower abdomen, and hatred suddenly rose. Thinking that he had committed such a serious crime and would be sentenced to death, why should he give in to the wishes of these policemen and explain everything clearly?

Zhao Xiangwan whispered something in Xu Songling's ear.

Xu Songling nodded.

Zhao Xiangwan tiptoed out of the ward, and when he came in, he brought Gu Wenjiao in.

Gu Wenjiao cut her hair short and wore a white coat, looking capable and energetic.

Xu Songling said: "Fan Hongwei, you should know this person, right?"

Fan Hongwei opened his eyes again and his pupils shrank.

[This vicious woman, what is she doing here! She has made me neither human nor ghost, she is really not a human being. 】

Hearing that Fan Hongwei finally had some emotional fluctuations, Zhao Xiangwan smiled slightly, gave up his chair to Gu Wenjiao, and stood beside her.

Xu Songling said: "You killed Gu Wenjiao's mother Zhou Jinfeng, didn't you?"

Fan Hongwei finally spoke: "No."

Xu Songling asked: "It was Cao Deren who killed him, wasn't it?"

Fan Hongwei didn't say anything.

Xu Songling's attitude was very relaxed: "You're still keeping it a secret for him? You're quite a brother."

Gu Wenjiao suddenly interrupted, "I have waited ten years for revenge for my mother's murder. You know I am very persistent. It doesn't matter if you don't tell me. Anyway, it's either you or Cao Deren. I will not let either of you go."

Fan Hongwei's voice was a little hoarse: "How else do you want to report it? It's just a matter of a bullet. In another 18 years, he will be a good man again."

Thinking of the past, dark clouds gathered in Gu Wenjiao's eyes.

"Who said it was just a matter of a bullet? As the saying goes, a son pays his father's debts."

Fan Hongwei's heartbeat suddenly quickened, and he looked at the calm Gu Wenjiao in disbelief: "That's your son too!"

Gu Wenjiao shrugged nonchalantly, raised her right hand slightly, and patted her knees twice: "After I gave birth to Tianbao, your parents watched their grandson like the apple of their eye, fearing that I would lead him astray. Tianbao originally hated my control and preferred to be close to his grandparents. I don't mind."

Fan Hongwei felt a little flustered.

[This damn woman wouldn't really have any evil intentions, would she? My thing was cut off, so I won't have any more children in this life. Tianbao is my only root. I'm going to die, but I still expect Tianbao to burn incense and send me paper money. If this damn woman really abuses Tianbao, wouldn't I be too ashamed to see my ancestors in the underworld? No way! ]

Zhao Xiangwan heard what Fan Hongwei was thinking, reached out his hand and gently placed it on Gu Wenjiao's shoulder, patted her lightly, and moved her to continue.

Before Zhao Xiangwan brought Gu Wenjiao in, he agreed on a secret code with her: clapping once meant encouragement, and they continued talking in this way; clapping twice meant stop, and they needed to change the way they said it before continuing.

After Gu Wenjiao woke up in the hospital, the first person she saw was Zhao Xiangwan. Under her guidance, she gradually opened up her heart and became more dependent and trusting of Zhao Xiangwan. Although Zhao Xiangwan was younger than her, he was more insightful than her and knew Fan Hongwei's psychological activities very well. She could do whatever Zhao Xiangwan said.

Encouraged by Zhao Xiangwan, Gu Wenjiao felt at ease, knowing that the less she cared about Tianbao, the more afraid Fan Hongwei would be.

Gu Wenjiao continued to speak, and before she spoke, she raised her hand and patted her knees twice: "You and I have been married for so many years, you know what kind of person I am. Ten years have passed since my mother was murdered, and even my father has forgotten about her and remarried and had children. Only I have been chasing the murderer. It turns out that the murderer I have been chasing for ten years has always been by my side. Do you think... my hatred can be eliminated by a bullet?"

Fan Hongwei didn't say anything, but his eyes began to wander unconsciously, which meant that he was getting nervous.

Zhao Xiangwan smiled and winked at Zhu Feipeng, signaling him to pay attention to Gu Wenjiao's right hand.

Communication between people is a process of constantly exchanging information. We can influence the other person's psychological state by releasing specific information, which is the anchor of the mind.

The influence of the mind anchor is varied. It can be a habitual action or some repetitive words. Through these actions, the psychological suggestion is constantly strengthened and finally revealed in the other party's actions.

For example, kindergarten teachers can reward children with a red flower when they are well-behaved and complete their tasks conscientiously. If this rewarding behavior is repeated, the children will unconsciously pursue the red flower and work hard to become better.

——This is a successful application case of the anchor effect.

What Gu Wenjiao had to do now was exactly what Zhao Xiangwan had taught her, which was to repeat a simple action over and over, implant an anchor in Fan Hongwei's mind, and strengthen the impression through language, so that Fan Hongwei would gradually believe one thing: Gu Wenjiao did not care about Fan Tianbao, and even hated him.

In fact, everything Gu Wenjiao was doing was a repetition of what Fan Hongwei had done to her. Whenever she mentioned divorce, Fan Hongwei would punch her and say he would kill Fan Tianbao, so much so that this incident became a psychological shadow in her mind, and she never doubted whether it was true or not.

Fan Hongwei's heartbeat began to speed up. He knew how persistent Gu Wenjiao was. Previously, Gu had used her persistence to get information for him, but what if this persistence turned into hatred for him and was transferred to Fan Tianbao?

"Snap! Snap!" There were two more soft sounds. This was the sound of Gu Wenjiao slapping her knees.

"Fan Hongwei, after your eyes were poked out, did your heart also go blind? You killed my mother, I hate you so much that I gnashed my teeth and wanted to kill you with a knife. If it weren't for the police comrades who advised me not to sacrifice myself for a scumbag like you, I would have risked my life to kill you, your parents, and all your family members! I work in a pharmacy and can get all kinds of medicine. I have the ability to do this, do you believe it?"

Fan Hongwei's heart was about to jump out of his throat, and his voice was extremely dry: "You, you are so cruel!"

"Snap! Snap!" There were two more soft sounds.

Gu Wenjiao sneered, "I'm cruel? Can I be as cruel as you? You killed my mother, yet you still had the nerve to pursue me. You controlled me to get information from the police, and cursed me countless times as a coward who dared not go upstairs. It was a physical and mental blow. I really regretted giving birth to a bastard for you!"

The word "bastard" successfully angered Fan Hongwei. He slapped the bed railings, making a "bang, bang" sound: "That's your son, your son!"

[Tianbao is my son, the root of my Fan family, I absolutely cannot hand him over to this vicious woman! ]

Gu Wenjiao felt Zhao Xiangwan's gentle pressure on her shoulder again, once, only once.

Gu Wenjiao is completely relieved

——Very good, Fan Hongwei’s weak spot is his son!

As long as a person has something to ask for, there is a way to break down his defenses and make him confess his crimes honestly.

"Pa! Pa!" Gu Wenjiao slapped her knees again.

"What's wrong with being my son? The Fan family has only one son for three generations. You are already a eunuch, so it is impossible for you to have another son. I am only thirty years old, still very young. As long as I want, I can remarry and have children, no matter how many I want!"

Gu Wenjiao paused for a moment and said, "Oh, yes, according to the family planning policy, a couple can only have one child. But it's not a big deal. At most, you can resign from your job and pay a fine. If that doesn't work out, you can marry a foreigner. Anyway, you only have Tianbao as your son in this life, but I... can have as many children as you want at any time."

At this point, how could Fan Hongwei still have the mentality of taking chances? He was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead: "Wen Jiao, what do you mean by this?"

"Snap! Snap!" After two sounds, Fan Hongwei's eyebrows twitched twice, which meant that his mood had been affected by this repetitive sound.

Gu Wenjiao continued to add: "I don't mean anything. I just want to tell you that the police have solid evidence now. It doesn't matter whether you admit it or not. You will definitely die. I am very happy, really. After waiting for ten years, the murderer of my mother was finally caught. My wish has been fulfilled. The rest is revenge. You'd better resist to the end and stay in jail for a while. As for me, I will take Tianbao to my side and raise him, just like you treated me."

A calm smile appeared on Gu Wenjiao's face: "Tianbao looks like you, how great. Whenever I see his face, I can think of you, the murderer who killed his mother. I tortured him, beat him, and cursed him every day, making him tremble, be cautious, and submissive, trying to please me in order to live. Oh, by the way, you once said that if I divorce you, you will throw Tianbao downstairs and kill him. I think this method is also very good. If someone in your family dares to pester me and insists on competing with me for custody, making me unhappy, I will throw Tianbao to death and then pretend to be sad. Haha, no one will suspect that a mother will kill her child, right?"

"Pa! Pa!" After the sixth clapping of the knees, Gu Wenjiao laughed out loud, her laughter extremely happy.

"Fan Hongwei, you can die in peace. I am Tianbao's mother and legal guardian. If you die, Tianbao will be legally under my care. I will change Tianbao's surname to Zhou, as a way to atone for my dead mother..."

"No! No——" Fan Hongwei's fear finally reached its peak.

He began to struggle desperately, shouting, "You can't change your surname, you can't change your surname, Gu Wenjiao, you can't change your surname. You hand Tianbao over to my parents, and let them take care of him. I will atone for the mistakes I made, I will atone for them."

Gu Wenjiao raised her hands and hit her knees hard, saying angrily: "You killed my mother! You killed my mother! She was a kind and enthusiastic nurse. She just wanted to persuade the couple upstairs not to fight. How did she provoke you or anger you? You just shot her to death! The crime you committed cannot be redeemed even if you die ten thousand times! If you can't redeem it, then use your son to redeem it."

Even if his nails were pulled out, his finger bones were broken, or his eyes were blinded, Fan Hongwei had never been so scared.

He was not afraid of death, nor of his crimes being exposed. He was afraid that his bloodline would be cut off, that he would let down his ancestors, and that no one would burn paper money or send him money after his death.

Fan Hongwei had little education and despised social rules, but because he was spoiled since childhood, he was taught that: you are the root of the Fan family, you are the treasure of the Fan family, you must carry on the bloodline of the Fan family, otherwise you will be sorry for your ancestors, and your parents will not be able to rest in peace when they die.

Influenced by his surroundings, Fan Hongwei attaches great importance to bloodline inheritance.

He was not afraid of being shot, nor was he afraid of retribution falling on himself. After all, he had experienced everything from eating, drinking and having fun. But... he was afraid that retribution would fall on Fan Tianbao.

This mentality made him subconsciously panic when facing the threat from Gu Wenjiao.

Once panic sets in, there is no way out.

Fan Hongwei roared: "Gu, Wen, Jiao! Tell me, what do you want? I just beg you to let Tianbao go, please let Tianbao go!"

Gu Wenjiao turned to look at Zhao Xiangwan who was standing behind her, her eyes filled with heavy sadness.

It turns out that whoever cares more loses.

I only hate myself for not realizing it until today.

Gu Wenjiao slapped her knees hard, the sound was so loud that it echoed in the empty ward.

"Confess all your crimes, not a single word can be missed! Why did you kill Cai Chang, how did you kill Cai Chang, why did you rob Xiong Tao's house, how did you kill a family of three and my mother; oh, yes, there are also Ruan Wu and that college student named Yan, seven lives, explain them all clearly! If you lie even a little bit, then the son will pay for the father's debt!"

The constant sound of "pa, pa" mixed with her voice exerted great psychological intimidation on Fan Hongwei, and tears of regret finally flowed.

With tears and snot all over his face, Fan Hongwei no longer had any image to speak of. He did not ask for acquittal, but only asked that his son not be abused: "I'll tell you! I'll tell you!"

Gu Wenjiao had already broken Fan Hongwei's psychological defenses, and all that remained was to inquire about his motives and process for committing the crime.

What Gao Guangqiang cares most about is why Tsai Chang was killed.

What Gu Wenjiao was most concerned about was why they chose to rob Xiong Tao.

Xu Songling needs to know, besides Fan Hongwei and Cao Deren, who else is involved and whether there is any dereliction of duty by the police.

And all of this will be answered as Fan Hongwei tells the story.

The parents of Cai Chang, Fan Hongwei, and Cao Deren were all employees of the provincial transportation company. The three of them grew up together and often played together when they were young. In the summer, they played in the water with their bare bottoms, and in the winter, they played snowball fights in their padded jackets and pulled icicles off the eaves. They had a lot of fun.

There was no difference when they were young, but they became different later. Fan Hongwei and Cao Deren grew more and more crooked and refused to study, while Cai Chang grew more and more lovely and did very well in school.

By the time he was in his twenties, when Fan Hongwei and Cao Deren were sent to the police station after a fight, Cai Chang had already graduated from the police academy and was assigned to the Wufulu Police Station as a police officer.

When Fan Xingfu saw Cai Chang, he knelt down and begged. Cai Chang grew up in the transportation company and often ate at Fan Xingfu's house when he was young. He played the family card and had no choice but to help them clear their criminal records against his conscience. He also used his police identity to get the victim's family to forgive and accept compensation from the Fan and Cao families.

After this incident, Cai Chang was entangled by Fan Hongwei and Cao Deren.

Fan Hongwei and Cao Deren thought that they were childhood friends with Cai Chang, and now they had a police officer to back them up. How cool is that! No matter who they beat or hurt, if there was a police officer to report the incident and speak for them, nothing would happen.

Cai Chang was in great pain. He could only blame himself for being soft-hearted for the moment and not being able to stand the elders kneeling down and begging. That's why he helped them once. Who knew that he would be entangled by them endlessly?

Once you help, you will do it again.

Yang Xugang, then deputy director of the Urban Construction Bureau, was arrested for soliciting prostitution. Fan Hongwei and Cao Deren, who were fired by the company, were having a hot relationship with him, and they patted their chests and guaranteed on the spot: It's a small matter, this matter is my childhood friend's responsibility, I promise to help you close the case, and not leave any trace.

This time, Yang Xugang sent cigarettes and wine to help. Cai Chang couldn't resist the temptation and thought it was not a big deal, so he helped.

However, what Tsai Chang didn't know was that for some things, once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back, and if you make a wrong step, all of them will be wrong.

Once you are dragged into the abyss of sin by the evil dragon, you will only sink deeper and deeper.

Once, twice, three times...When Cai Chang realized something was wrong, he began to refuse.

Fan Hongwei finally had a spy in the police station, so why would he let him escape? His face changed, and he took out the evidence of Cai Chang's bribery and threatened to report him.

Tsai Chang had no choice but to cooperate with him.

With the help of Fan Hongwei and Yang Xugang, Cai Chang solved several suspicious cases in succession. His path to promotion was smooth and he was soon promoted to the position of deputy director of the police station and was equipped with a gun.

The moment he saw the gun, Fan Hongwei, who was unwilling to be ordinary, suddenly had an idea in his mind: I want to do something big!

Cai Chang had become increasingly disobedient. He would make excuses for anything he was asked to do, and even dared to confront him after becoming the deputy director of the police station, saying that if he continued to talk too much, he would have them all arrested. Fan Hongwei and Cao Deren discussed privately and decided to kill Cai Chang, steal his gun, and then rob a bank. They would steal millions and live a life of luxury from then on.

Fan Hongwei and Cao Deren acted on their words. They were bold and reckless, and they wanted to leave their names in history, even if it was infamy, it was better than a dull life. The first time they killed someone, they were not panicked and calm.

The two were familiar with Cai Chang and his movements. They knew that Cai Chang was a little excited when he got his gun and often hung it on his waist to show off. So they hid in the deep alley and waited for Cai Chang and Gao Guangqiang to finish drinking and go home alone. Fan Hongwei hit Cai Chang on the back of the head with a hammer. He was a martial artist and his moves were fast, accurate and ruthless. After the hammer came down, Cai Chang didn't even have time to groan and died on the spot.

Cao Deren was worried, so he took a knife and stabbed him three times in the left chest.

After confirming that Cai Chang was dead, Fan Hongwei and Cao Deren grabbed the gun and ran away. When they checked the next day, they found that there were eight bullets in the gun, and they were so excited that they shouted on the bed, ran to the wild and tried to fire two shots, and shouted to the sky with great pride: I have a gun!

Hearing this, Gao Guangqiang suppressed his pain and asked, "How do you know how to use firearms?"

Fan Hongwei said nonchalantly: "Cao Deren and I have both served in the militia and received training. This Type 54 pistol is very simple, powerful, and accurate."

Gao Guangqiang asked: "After Tsai Chang was killed, did no one investigate you?"

Fan Hongwei showed a hint of sarcasm on his face. "It took only an hour to wait, kill and rob. I had already discussed it with Yang Xugang. We found a karaoke hall to drink and sing. A group of men and a few princesses were waiting for us. Cao Deren and I went out for a while, robbed the guns and came back. We continued to play until dawn. There were so many people in the karaoke hall, and the lights were dim. It was impossible to tell that two people came in and out. It was a perfect alibi.

After Cai Chang became the deputy director of the police station, his appetite became bigger and bigger. He often used Yang Xugang's prostitution to ask for money and wine. Yang Xugang had long wanted to kill him. Knowing that we were going to take action, he prepared a hammer and a sharp knife in advance and put them in the spare compartment. Let's put it this way, the three of us are an iron triangle. Cao Deren and I are responsible for murder and arson, and Yang Xugang is responsible for promotion and wealth. Yang Xugang kept his promise and promoted me after the storm passed. "

So that's how it is.

When Gao Guangqiang heard him say that Tsai Chang was sliding further and further down the road toward the abyss, he couldn't describe the feeling in his heart and he let out a long sigh.

Alas! When a person dies, it is like a light going out. From now on, there is no more connection. So be it.

Xu Songling asked: "Didn't you say you were going to rob a bank? Why didn't you do it later?"

Fan Hongwei continued to speak.

The idea of ​​robbing a bank was inspired by a movie. Fan Hongwei and Cao Deren thought that as long as they had money, they could stop the money transport truck and steal a lot of money. However, after following the money transport process of the bank for a few days, they found that it was a fantasy for the two men to rob a bank.

All procedures are strict and standardized. Even if they have guns, they can't succeed in robbery. Even if they kill people or rob cars and get money, they probably can't get far. They will be caught by the police soon or even killed on the spot. Even if they get the money, they won't live to spend it.

So, the two changed their minds and decided to break into the house and rob it.

The reason they chose Xiong Tao was because they had seen him many times in brothels and knew he was rich. Moreover, Xiong Tao loved to show off, often showing off his banknotes. He also said that he never trusted banks and kept all his money at home.

Xiong Tao is the director of a savings bank. He is an expert at corruption and bribery, and has made a lot of money privately. He has a bad relationship with his wife Hu Linzhen, they quarrel every day, and he often hangs out in brothels.

Fan Hongwei had an evil idea and arranged everything. When "Huo Yuanjia" was popular on the air, he took Cao Deren and his new brother Ruan Wu, and went to Hu Linzhen's house openly with a bag of fruits.

They had followed Xiong Tao before and had already prepared a good location. They knocked on the door and said they wanted to thank Dr. Hu for delivering their wives' babies, and then they entered the house smoothly.

Everything that happened afterwards was completely consistent with Gu Wenjiao's memory.

The first loud noise that Gu Wenjiao and Zhou Jinfeng heard was Cao Deren drawing his empty gun.

When the ending song was heard, there was another loud noise coming from upstairs. It was Fan Hongwei who was irritated by the incompetence of his men. He roared, grabbed the gun, and shot Xiong Tao dead with one shot.

Next, Cao Deren became a little braver and rushed into the bedroom and shot Hu Linzhen.

The shot missed the target and Hu Linzhen struggled to get up. Cao Deren fired another shot.

It was after this shot that Zhou Jinfeng could no longer sit still and insisted on going upstairs to check.

Ruan Wu was frightened by the blood, and when he heard the knock on the door, he looked at Cao Deren nervously. Cao Deren, who was furious, walked to the door, motioned Ruan Wu to open the door, and shot Zhou Jinfeng in the head again.

Five shots in total.

Four lives.

There were originally eight bullets in the gun. Two were fired during field tests and five were fired during the burglary, leaving one bullet left in the gun.

Fan Hongwei stripped off the gold watch on Xiong Tao's wrist, then searched the bedroom, taking away all the gold jewelry and cash. He dropped his gun and hurried downstairs.

The journey was extremely smooth and I didn't meet anyone at all.

The three returned to their lair, divided the stolen goods, and went about their business as if nothing had ever happened.

Fan Hongwei has been a driver for so many years that he has a lot of labor insurance white gloves. He has also watched police and gangster films on TV and knows that one must be careful not to leave fingerprints when committing a crime. That's why he wore gloves when committing a crime.

Because they only met Xiong Tao by chance in a brothel and had no interaction in their daily lives, the police missed Fan Hongwei and his group in the investigation;

Because the three men fled quickly and continued to work at the Urban Construction Bureau after the murder, without showing any signs of abnormality, they were not listed as suspects;

Because of Xiong Tao's previous experience, the three men did not show off after taking the money and acted in a low profile, so no one suspected or reported them.

Fan Hongwei was bold and careful. He knew that the police had very strict management of guns. Since there was only one bullet left, he simply left the gun at the scene to avoid further investigation.

Fan Hongwei even thought of having Cao Deren, Ruan Wu and others perform a hero-saving-a-beauty drama, marry Gu Wenjiao home, and use Gu Wenjiao's obsession with the case to inquire about the progress of the case.

At first, Fan Hongwei was a little restrained, until Gu Wenjiao gave birth to a son, and he thought he had Gu Wenjiao under control, and then he began to act recklessly. He started with a slap in anger, and gradually developed into a one-sided beating. Once Gu Wenjiao resisted, he threatened to kill his son. Gu Wenjiao was kind-hearted and had a strong maternal instinct. In addition, she had broken up with her family and was weak and alone, so she was gradually controlled by him.

Gu Wenjiao's surrender made Fan Hongwei start to swell.

Xiong Tao didn't dare to wear his gold watch, so he sold it when he was on a business trip, but he couldn't forget the stylish gold watch, which gradually became an obsession. So he asked Yang Xugang to bring him one when he was visiting abroad, and he wore it every day.

The pleasure that conquering Gu Wenjiao brought him gradually disappeared with the passage of time. Gu Wenjiao seemed to be a quiet person, but she had an indescribable stubbornness in her bones. No matter how she was beaten or scared, she always had an indescribable determination in her bones. This made Fan Hongwei a little frustrated, so he began to seek excitement outside.

If playing with women is not exciting enough, then play with men.

If spending money isn't enough, then just force it.

Time and again, no one ever sued him, and no one dared to confront him.

Fan Hongwei became more and more arrogant until he saw the beautiful Ji Zhao in a hot pot restaurant. He made a bet with Cao Deren that he would have a kiss with her. Cao Deren, who was drunk, went forward and tried to touch Ji Zhao's face.

Unexpectedly, he kicked a piece of iron plate.

——The people at the table are all from the serious crime squad.

——The leader is Xu Heimian, a man who strikes fear into countless criminals and no one dares to challenge him.

——Among the people having dinner, there was one person named Gao Guangqiang whom Fan Hongwei really disliked seeing.

——The pretty and harmless Ji Zhao turned out to be a rose with thorns. After a disagreement, she poked out one of his eyes.

At this point, Fan Hongwei laughed at himself and said, "Maybe, this is fate." He had been living under the radar for so many years without any problems. How come he was targeted by the serious crime squad just as he started to act in a high-profile manner?

Gu Wenjiao heard this and slapped her knees hard: "Pa! Pa!"

She sneered, "You deserve it! What do you mean by fate? It's just that even God can't stand it and wants to deal with you bastards!"

Fan Hongwei looked at her steadily: "I, I have confessed everything. Can you promise me to hand Tianbao over to my parents to take care of? As long as you take the initiative to give up the right of custody, I will answer whatever you ask."

[Anyway, I am already a useless person, and there is no point in living. I just hope that everything goes smoothly for Tianbao. At least I am not a sinner of the Fan family.]

Zhao Xiangwan raised a question: "The footprints at the scene showed that none of you three walked with your feet turned inward, but I saw that Cao Deren walked with his feet turned outward."

Fan Hongwei glanced at her and then noticed this little policewoman.

With her before Ji Zhao went crazy.

Gu Wenjiao was also with her before she went crazy.

Fan Hongwei couldn't help but wonder: "Who are you?"

Xu Songling was most afraid that Zhao Xiangwan would be remembered, so he shouted, "Who cares who she is? Answer the question!"

Fan Hongwei had no answer, so he could only answer honestly: "We were all trained militiamen, so we walked very standardly. Later, Cao Deren ate too much and became as fat as a pig, so he walked more and more outward."

Zhao Xiangwan suddenly realized: So that's how it is.

The trial lasted the entire morning. Fan Hongwei was already frightened by Gu Wenjiao and was afraid that she would harm his son.

He answered whatever I asked and was very cooperative.

Gao Guangqiang asked: "Why did you bury Ruan Wu in your ancestral tomb?"

Fan Hongwei smiled bitterly and said, "Killing a person is easy, but disposing of the body is difficult. We tricked Ruan Wu into coming to my hometown and secretly killed him, but what about the body? My family happened to be renovating our ancestral tomb, so in the middle of the night when no one was around, we dug up the grave and buried him and my grandfather together."

Gao Guangqiang asked: "Aren't you afraid that your grandfather will crawl out of the grave and come to settle accounts with you?"

Fan Hongwei showed no remorse: "He is my grandfather, I have nothing to fear. My family has only one son for three generations, my grandfather will definitely protect me if anything happens."

Gao Guangqiang continued to ask: "You killed Yan Yi, why did you dump the body into the reservoir?"

Fan Hongwei said, "Didn't I just say that it's easy to kill a person, but it's hard to deal with a body. I originally wanted to do the same thing as I did with Ruan Wu, digging a hole to bury him, but I couldn't find the right tools at the time. When I thought about the reservoir next to us, I just threw him into the water. We put the guy in a woven bag, tied it with a few hemp ropes, hung cement blocks on it, and threw it into the water. I thought it would be fine. Isn't that how it's played on TV? Kill someone and throw them into the river, and no one will notice. Who knew that after just a few days, the body would float up! I tied a lot of cement blocks under the body, how come it didn't sink?"

Zhao Xiangwan looked at the three police officers present.

Xu Songling closed his mouth and said nothing. Gao Guangqiang snorted, obviously unwilling to tell him the answer. Zhu Feipeng was young after all, and couldn't help but said, "Idiot! As the corpse decays, it will produce more and more decaying gases, turning the corpse into a huge human-shaped balloon, and the corpse will slowly float to the surface. If you want to prevent the corpse from floating to the surface, unless..."

At this point, Zhu Feipeng met Fan Hongwei's eyes that were eager to learn, and said, "Even if the body doesn't float up, the stench from the decaying body can be smelled from more than ten meters away. Do you think you can do it without anyone noticing? Ridiculous!"

[Why should I tell you to place an object at least three times your own body weight on top of a corpse? If you criminals have learned this, how will we police solve crimes in the future?]

After hearing this, Zhao Xiangwan also had a new understanding.

——There is no perfect crime, all crimes have flaws.

As the saying goes, Heaven's net is vast and wide, and nothing can escape it. So that's how it is.
