Chapter 76
The Mu family case was closed with the death of Li Guizhi.
Daxi Daily was the first to report the Mu family case and published the crimes committed by Mu Xingwang. The Ying Zhihe case came into the public eye, and public opinion continued to spread, with increasing influence.
Although Ying Zhihe had died, she came back into the public eye because of the three people who were killed in the Mu family. Public opinion urged the Ying Zhihe case to be re-investigated, and finally several black sheep were caught.
When the black sheep were found, it caused a big shock in Hong Kong. The public's trust in the government dropped sharply.
In order to restore its credibility, the Kowloon Police Department held a press conference under the circumstances to review the situation to the public.
The morning sun shines into the office of the serious crime unit through the window. The long desk is covered with the victim's information. In the corner, the green fig tree stretches out its small leaves, showing its most beautiful posture towards the sun.
Zhou Fengxu is writing a closing report at the desk, with a cup of fresh milk and two eggs next to the report.
"You guys tell me, is Mr. Mu guilty of a crime?" Shi Boren crossed his legs and played banana tossing, with a newspaper spread out on the table.
"If... it is, will it affect my skin?" Gan Yizu lifted the black jacket he was wearing, even though plainclothes officers rarely wore military uniforms.
"Uncle Zhong, what do you think?" Shi Boren looked at the corner.
Luo Qizhong sipped fresh milk, cracked the egg along the table and slowly peeled it, "Mu Kuan used his power to cover up his son's crimes, causing Ying Zhihe to jump off the building and die. In the end, dying under Li Guizhi's knife can be considered as paying off his debt."
Shi Boren sarcastically said, "I don't know if Mu Kuan regretted what he did when he died."
Chu Yueqing happened to hear the last sentence when she opened the door with the sugar water bag. She smiled slightly, "Talking about regret is disgusting."
Mu Kuan only regretted not knowing in advance that Mu Xingwang was not his biological son until his death.
But she knew people like Mu Kuan too well.
Even if he knew the truth at the time, he would still choose to keep it for his own reputation. Then abandon Mu Xingwang.
"That makes sense. People like this don't deserve sympathy."
The banana was thrown into the air and fell on the table. Shi Boren stood up to help carry the sugar water, and as soon as it was put on the table, he opened the bag with a drooling expression.
"Xingxing, how did you know that I wanted to eat sweet soup? Did you mention it specifically for me?"
Luo Qizhong poked his head over, "The sweet soup you had last time was from Chu's?"
"Oh." Shi Boren handed him a portion, "Does it taste good?"
"It's really good." Luo Qizhong took the sweet soup with a smile and gave Chu Yuexing a thumbs up, "Uncle Zhong has been in Hong Kong for decades, and he has tried at least a dozen time-honored sweet soup restaurants. Chu's sweet soup is just one word, delicious!"
Chu Yuexing felt happy to be praised, her eyebrows and eyes seemed to be filled with water, "Thank you for the recognition, you can come in anytime when you pass by my store next time."
"Huh? You have a store?" Zhou Fengxu finished writing the closing report and put the sweet soup on the table.
"Well, I just saw a storefront on Miao Street, and they are already working on the renovation." Chu Yueqing nodded. He helped find the store after talking with Zhang Jiande yesterday.
Chu Yueqing didn't think much about it. After paying the money, she asked Zhang Jiande to arrange the renovation.
If it was someone else, Zhang Jiande would definitely refuse. The other party was Xing Xing, who knew nothing about decoration. He was also worried that Chu Yueqing would be cheated, so he contacted an old friend who was engaged in decoration.
When the decoration is completed, Chu Yueqing will be notified directly.
Looking around, Gan Yizu was staring at her in a daze. She smiled and said, "While everyone is here, why don't we start?"
When Zhou Fengxu asked Chu Yueqing to come over to help.
Shi Boren had already notified his colleagues in the same group, and no one in the office was surprised.
Several people sat in a circle in the office.
Zhou Fengxu explained the specific information of the girl's case. "The girl's name is Zheng Xinya. She was just eight years old when she died. There are six people in the family. Zheng Xinya is the oldest child."
As he said, he passed the information to Chu Yueqing for easy viewing.
"The above is Zheng Xinya's date of birth."
In addition to Zheng Xinya's date of birth, the A4 paper also recorded a family photo.
The five people were happy together. The young father was holding his wife's shoulders. His wife was holding a baby in her arms. In front of the couple stood a big and a small child. The whole family smiled at the camera.
The oldest one was Zheng Xinya.
Chu Yueqing looked at the girl's childish smile in the photo and couldn't bear it. She raised her eyes and asked, "Sir Zhou, do you know the details?"
"Yes."
Zhou Fengxu waited for her to receive the information, clasped his hands and continued: "On August 7, 1976, the family went to the park for a picnic. At three o'clock in the afternoon, Zheng Xinya's father returned to his residence to work. At four o'clock, Zheng Xinya also said that she wanted to go home. Because her younger brother kept complaining that he had not played enough, Mrs. Zheng asked Zheng Xinya to go back first."
"According to the victim's family members, the two places are very close, only ten minutes away. Usually, Zheng Xinya would go out alone to play with classmates and was able to go home."
"At 6 o'clock in the afternoon, Mrs. Zheng returned home and found that her eldest daughter, who should have returned earlier, was missing. When asked, Mr. Zheng replied that he had been working and did not see his eldest daughter return home."
"At 10 o'clock in the evening, after searching in his classmates' and friends' homes to no avail, Mr. Zheng called the police. The first thing the police did after receiving the call was to treat it as a kidnapping and missing person case. It was not until 6 o'clock in the morning on the 8th that a girl's body with her head cut off was found in the trash can."
"The case was transferred to the serious crime team. The autopsy results showed that the girl's lower body was torn and bruises were found on the connection of the severed head."
"Due to the long time, the scene can no longer be restored. There is no fingerprint information and no other valuable clues."
Zhou Fengxu also had an abnormal headache when he saw the files left by the police officer. He even wanted to travel back to that year and inspect the scene himself.
With few clues and the fact that 18 years have passed, it is extremely difficult to solve the case.
This is also the reason why Zhou Fengxu sought the intervention of metaphysical forces.
I want to see if I can get some useful information from a new angle.
After receiving the information, Chu Yueqing paused, looked at the others and asked, "If I intervene in the case, do you have any opinions?"
Helping the police solve the case will also be a merit. However, this is not a trivial matter. After intervening with the authorities, the nature will become complicated. If you want to intervene, it will definitely bring about many chain reactions.
Therefore, it is also important to confirm the opinions of other members of Team D.
"Go ahead, do it boldly." Shi Boren immediately raised his hand to agree.
"Brother Xu's calculation was incredibly accurate. If you can really help with this case, we will give you half of our salary."
"It doesn't have to be so much." Chu Yueqing looked at Gan Yizu and Luo Qizhong again.
"I agree." Gan Yizu raised his hand.
"I agree too." Luo Qizhong, as the oldest police officer, also raised his hand.
Zhou Fengxu put away the information and nodded, "Please."
Chu Yueqing nodded, then calculated the girl's birth date and eight characters. After calculating, she had a general direction.
"Zheng Xinya's birth chart shows that she will have a great disaster. She just encountered a hurdle at the age of eight and failed to overcome it. The hour of Hai matches her fate, which is very unlucky. She should die at nine o'clock in the evening."
Zhou Fengxu looked at Shi Boren, who immediately took out a notebook and wrote it down.
While Chu Yueqing was calculating, her third eye slowly opened. She could see some fragmentary images of the past.
When the eight-year-old girl was about to enter the house, a middle-aged man suddenly appeared on her left. He waved to let the little girl pass.
The little girl ate the candy he gave her and passed out.
Chu Yueqing rubbed her forehead. The merits she had gained from sending Li Guizhi last night were wasted. Her skills had not reached the peak of her previous life, and her third eye was sometimes effective and sometimes not.
She ignored the pain in her forehead, put down her hand, and combined the eight characters to quietly calculate according to the picture just now.
"The murderer lives in the same building as the Zheng family, and Zheng Xinya is very familiar with him. His age is roughly..." Chu Yueqing paused, calculated for a while, and then said.
"Around sixty years old." She
even calculated the age!
It was the first time for Luo Qizhong and Gan Yizu to see Chu Yueqing fortune-telling, and everyone's eyes widened.
Chu Yueqing looked at everyone in silence and blinked uncomfortably, "This information... is it useless?"
Zhou Fengxu saw the frequency of the girl's blinking, and smiled: "It's useful, don't worry."
"Oh." Chu Yueqing breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's more than useful, it's simply too useful!" Shi Boren's expression was exaggerated. "Age, residence, and gender have all been calculated. We can check the information of the residents in the building, verify and arrest them, right?"
"No, we still need evidence to calculate the specific information." Zhou Fengxu frowned, "Ask metaphysics to intervene, not to let you be lazy."
Besides, the law does not believe in metaphysics.
Metaphysics is completely impossible to be used as evidence to convict the murderer.
Fortunately, there is already a general direction.
He believes that if he investigates according to the direction, he will always find evidence to bring the murderer to justice.
An hour later, Chu Yueqing got up and left. She shook her head when she saw the check Zhou Fengxu handed over, "Let's wait until the case is solved before paying."
Seeing that she was unwilling to accept it, Zhou Fengxu smiled and said, "Are you worried?"
"Yeah." Chu Yueqing admitted, "It's too young."
The case was not solved and the murderer was not caught. She really didn't feel at ease even if she took the money.
"Let's go. We have to hurry to Miao Street to start work."
The sun was high in the sky, and the golden sunlight shone on the girl's fair and smiling face. She waved and walked down the steps of the police station.
Shi Yubing appeared out of nowhere, holding her chest with her hands, looking at the girl who was getting farther and farther away in surprise, "How did you know that the higher-ups issued a notice to hire technical assistance in order to improve the efficiency of solving cases in the police station?"
Zhou Fengxu stretched out his hand and put the check into his trouser pocket, "Madam, I'm not omnipotent. When the higher-ups just gave the order, how can I get the news immediately?"
"Really." Shi Yubing smiled, "So now you know? Every serious crime department has the opportunity to hire external assistance, but... do you believe in metaphysics? Would it be better to ask the Forensic Science Department to borrow someone?"
She was still quite surprised to hear that Zhou Fengxu had invited a master to tell fortunes.
Officer Zhou, who was always cold and only focused on solving cases with evidence, also believed in metaphysics?
Originally thought he could get the other party to talk, who knew that Zhou Fengxu would just withdraw his gaze.
"Whatever you want. I am only responsible for solving the case."
Shi Yubing smiled.
Sure enough, the iron-faced police officer Zhou's tone was as hurtful as always.
A long line had formed on this side of Temple Street.
Chu Yueqing followed the old rules, parked the stall and moved out the small table, leaving the first two customers who wanted to have their fortunes told.
She just sat down and looked at the young man before he could even speak.
The young man sat down miserably, as if he had an emotional breakdown and cried on the table.
Chu Yueqing was stunned and blinked, "People... There are no hurdles in life that cannot be overcome, don't cry."
The young man raised his head, his eyes on his handsome face were as red as a rabbit, he sniffed and didn't speak yet.
Chu Yueqing could clearly hear the rumbling sounds in his stomach due to hunger.
The young man was stunned.
Then, he burst into tears again.
"There is no hurdle in life that cannot be overcome, but my hurdle is too difficult to overcome."
