Chapter 216 He is a fake

"Three stab wounds. Except for the first one which was a little crooked, the other two were fatal." Jiang Yingyao briefly examined the body and explained the situation while taking off his gloves.

Zhong Xiaoyu was shocked when she heard this. "This organization is really crazy. If they keep going like this, I guess the armed police will intervene by noon at the latest, right?"

Zhong Xiaoyu said this and looked at Captain Zhang.

Captain Zhang sighed and said, "We actually anticipated that organization would retaliate, but we didn't expect it to be so swift. At around 4:00 a.m., the fingerprint comparison results weren't even back yet, but the first wave of retaliation had already begun."

Pang Le subconsciously said, "Could it be like the last time we met in Shuangshi, trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain?"

After Pang Le said this, he realized that Captain Zhang had said that Wu Yang had been arrested.

Guan Xia felt something was amiss and frowned, saying, "Something is indeed amiss."

Guan Xia had a guess in her mind, but when the words came to her lips she felt it was inappropriate to say them out loud.

Although she had never met Wu Yang formally, from what they knew, that man did not seem like someone who would surrender. Another point was that if he really surrendered, there would not be such a large-scale retaliation. It was impossible that the organization was whimsically threatening the police in this way to release Wu Yang.

Guan Xia thought about it and started to doubt whether the person Captain Zhang mentioned as being caught was actually Wu Yang.

Thinking of this, Guan Xia looked at Captain Zhang and said, "Captain Zhang, do you want to stay and handle this case? Then we..."

Guan Xia was interrupted by Captain Zhang before she could finish her words. He looked at the time on his wrist and said, "I've already notified the local police station. Wait a few minutes. We'll leave as soon as they arrive."

Upon hearing this, Guan Xia could only stand there patiently.

Although he said he was waiting for someone, Captain Zhang was not idle. He was busy running around with several criminal police officers. After seven or eight minutes, a team of criminal police arrived. Then he hurriedly handed over the work and got back into the car with Guan Xia and the others.

As soon as they got in the car, Captain Zhang urged them to get going quickly. He then turned to Guan Xia and said, "We just did a quick check on the identities of the three deceased individuals using their ID cards. Now we can confirm that this is indeed another act of revenge by that organization."

Guan Xia sat up straight after hearing this and looked at Captain Zhang and asked, "What do you mean?"

Captain Zhang said, "The three people who were murdered, two men and one woman, were a family of three. Although they appear to be normal people on the surface, the middle-aged man among the three, the son of the elderly couple, is actually a mental patient. I wonder if you have heard of the 0225 case in our city four years ago."

Guan Xia and the others naturally didn't know. Only Ji An said thoughtfully, "I do know a little bit. It's about the incident where three men and one woman were killed in a KTV during the Lantern Festival."

Guan Xia and Pang Le were both shocked when they heard this. "The murder happened in a KTV, and on the Lantern Festival?"

Captain Zhang nodded. "The murderer is the son of the three people killed today. He had been diagnosed with schizophrenia long ago, but he hid it very well. Apart from his parents, none of his friends or relatives knew about it until he killed someone that day. He then revealed it to escape legal punishment."

Guan Xia gasped when she heard this, "Did he kill someone because of a sudden illness?"

Captain Zhang gave a wry smile and shook his head. "We don't think so, because he had a very clear motive for murder, but also because his schizophrenia is real, and he kept feigning insanity during interrogation, saying it was his alter ego that killed people, not the real him. So we have no way of telling whether he was conscious at the time of the murder, or if he was truly ill."

Guan Xia sighed after hearing this. It seemed that although Captain Zhang and the others believed that the middle-aged man was conscious when he killed people, the murderer's mental illness ultimately had an absolute advantage, so that he was still at large despite the conclusive evidence.

Pang Le asked, "Although a mentally ill person who kills someone can't go to jail, they should still be locked up in a mental hospital, right? How come the murderer we saw today is moving around freely?"

Captain Zhang said only four words: "Release on medical parole."

Several people listened with mixed feelings and didn't know what to say.

It wasn't until a few minutes later that Ji An spoke again, "Captain Zhang just said that there was a very clear motive for murder in that case. What was that motive?"

Captain Zhang spoke gravely, "According to the survivors' confessions, the murderer actually set up a trap on the day of the incident. He said he had a crush on a girl but didn't know how to pursue her, so he wanted to ask them for advice. Everyone was supposed to be at home for the holidays, but when they heard it was such an important matter, they all went. Unexpectedly, they started arguing, especially the first victim. She was the first to argue with him, and the argument was the most intense."

Guan Xia and the others listened quietly without interrupting. Captain Zhang continued, "According to the survivors' confessions, they were actually quite happy to see the murderer wanting to pursue girls. After all, they had known each other for so many years, and two of them were married with children. Naturally, they wanted the others to live well, so everyone was very enthusiastic in helping out with suggestions at first. Some suggested sending flowers, some offered to pick them up from get off work, and some suggested seeing what the girl liked and catering to her preferences. Until the first girl who had a conflict with the murderer casually asked how old the girl was, and the murderer hesitated. Everyone felt something was wrong, and only after repeated questioning did the murderer speak up, saying that the girl was 17 this year, but would be 18 soon, and that he really liked her."

Captain Zhang said: "When the girl who asked the question heard that the girl was only 17, she was stunned. According to the survivor's statement, the girl jumped up and yelled at the murderer, saying, 'You're a pervert, you're still in high school, you're a pedophile, and you're so young and you're still interested. Don't you think about how old you are?' That girl has always had a bad temper. Over the years, everyone has been scolded by her, but no one has taken it seriously. They even helped the girl condemn the murderer. Who knew that the murderer suddenly went crazy, saying that he had known that everyone looked down on him and thought he was not worthy of the girl. Then he reached out and slashed the throat of the girl who had scolded him first."

Captain Zhang paused here, then sighed, "Because we were in a KTV, the lighting was very dim. No one could see clearly at first. It wasn't until the girl whose neck was cut fell on the sofa that people realized what was happening. But during that time, the murderer had cut two more people in a row. The last one was trying to subdue him with the rest of the people, so I rushed forward first and was also cut."

Guan Xia felt it was a pity. Judging from Captain Zhang's description, both the first female victim who jumped up and cursed, and the last victim who rushed forward to subdue the murderer, were brave, resourceful and kind people. It was a pity that they lost their lives in an ordinary gathering just because of such a lunatic in their circle of friends.

Pang Le was filled with righteous indignation when he heard this and wanted to say something, but the car they were riding in had already entered the Jianyang Municipal Bureau. In the huge yard, people were constantly running around and cars were driving in and out. It looked very busy. Seeing this, Pang Le could only hold back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

As soon as the car stopped, Captain Zhang got out in a hurry, followed by Guan Xia and the others. They didn't even have time to meet up with Xu Nian and the others who were in other cars, and they trotted up the stairs behind Captain Zhang.

Guan Xia and the others were so intent on Captain Zhang's figure that they didn't even notice him climbing several floors. That was until Captain Zhang saw a figure stop and hurriedly chased after him, asking, "Director Gao, which interrogation room is the suspect Wu Yang being held in? I've already brought Expert Guan and the others back. Has the suspect confessed anything in all this time?"

Director Gao was in uniform, tall and imposing. He looked very dignified despite his unsmiling expression. He glanced at Guan Xia, forced a smile, and shook her hand before saying, "He's in the interrogation room on the far right on the third floor. I just went to check it out five minutes ago. The interrogation expert from the provincial department is still working on it."

Wu Yang hadn't spoken yet. Captain Zhang said with some disappointment, "This bastard is really stubborn. He still wants to resist at this time."

It can be seen that Captain Zhang must have a good relationship with Director Gao, so he dares to curse like that.

Director Gao cursed as usual, then, as if realizing Guan Xia and the others were present, he awkwardly patted Team Leader Zhang and scolded him, "We're police officers, not thugs. How can you be so foul-mouthed? If you do it again, I'll issue a disciplinary notice."

Captain Zhang only just realized that there were more than just the two of them at the scene, and his expression was a little embarrassed for a moment, but he quickly saluted and said in a serious tone, "Got it. Director Gao, please rest assured. I will never do it again."

Captain Zhang laughed again and asked, "Director Gao, should I take Expert Guan and the others to the third floor? I remember that although Expert Guan doesn't have much interrogation experience, she's very talented and can always get confessions that other colleagues can't. I'll take her with me."

Director Gao slapped Team Leader Zhang with the documents in his hand in annoyance and glared at him, saying, "Go ahead. Since the higher-ups have entrusted you with the task of entrusting Guan to this expert, you should treat him well and don't lose face for our Municipal Bureau."

Captain Zhang chuckled and said "got it", then he pulled Guan Xia along and trotted down the stairs again.

Guan Xia then realized that Captain Zhang had led them to the fourth floor in one breath. No wonder Guan Xia always felt a little out of breath.

There are more people on the third floor than on the fourth floor, but everyone is busy coming in and out, and some people are even talking on the phone while looking down at documents.

In order to avoid bumping into people, Guan Xia and the others walked in a twisting way in the corridor on the third floor, giving way to one person and then another, and finally arrived at the interrogation room that Director Gao mentioned.

As soon as she entered the small room where she could observe the interrogation, Guan Xia immediately turned on the system's shared vision, and then opened her eyes wide in shock. Her premonition was right. The person captured by Captain Zhang's colleagues was not Wu Yang at all.

Although Guan Xia had never formally met Wu Yang, she knew that based on the crimes Wu Yang had committed and the lives he had taken over the years, if she could see his soul light ball, it would definitely turn red and black. Even the blood color wrapped around Wu Xingxian's soul light ball made his soul look like a red balloon, and Wu Yang's red would only be more intense than his. So when she saw that the blood color on this person's soul light ball was not as good as Wu Xingxian's, she knew that this person must be a fake.

It looked like Wu Yang had indeed escaped. Guan Xia turned off the system's shared vision and looked at Captain Zhang and said, "I can confirm that the man in the interrogation room is not Wu Yang. He is a fake."

There were many people watching the interrogation. When Guan Xia said this, everyone looked at her. No one showed any doubt, but just frowned with a look of surprise and uncertainty.

Others might not know Guan Xia, but Captain Zhang, who had worked with her on the Shuangshi case, trusted her very much and only asked, "How confident are you?"

Guan Xia said firmly, "Ten points."

Captain Zhang's expression immediately grew serious. He hurriedly pulled out his phone and said, "Okay, wait here. I'll contact you now."

Captain Zhang finished speaking and hurried out the door to make a phone call. Pang Le squeezed through the crowd to get a better view. After taking a few glances, he came back to Guan Xia and sighed, "This resemblance, if you hadn't told me, I would never have noticed. Such a lifelike stand-in must have been prepared a long time ago. It's even more like the imposter in Shangshuang City. No wonder I felt strange when Captain Zhang said Wu Yang was captured. So that's how it is. It seems that the so-called revenge action at around four in the morning was actually the same as the smokescreen thrown by the imposter to attract our attention. Maybe that time was when he escaped."

After confirming that the person who was captured was just a substitute, some unreasonable points made sense. It was not that Wu Yang surrendered unexpectedly, but that he had already prepared a way to escape.

What's more, maybe they escaped earlier than Pang Le guessed. Guan Xia thought that Meng Lan and her biological sister were attacked in the early morning. Maybe they had already escaped at that time, when the third attack on them failed and they were caught by them.
