Chapter 23: Sacrifice for the sake of justice
Lu Bai observed the small house. "Your father? What happened to him?"
The girl sat down on the bed, pulled up her schoolbag, and said lightly, "I suspect he has committed murder."
How could such young girl's words be so shocking?
Li Ziyu saw that there was only a set of bowls and chopsticks on the table, and then looked at the girl in front of him.
She had a clue in her mind, so she asked, "Does your father not care about you? You said he killed someone, is it because he heard someone died?"
Without knowing whether this incident is directly related to the case, the details of the case cannot be disclosed.
The girl pointed inside the house and said, "Do I look like someone is watching me?"
She changed the subject, "I know you found a female corpse, and I know who it was."
Lu Bai said sternly, "Little girl, you must be responsible for what you said."
The girl shrugged, "I'm responsible. Do you need me to go back and help you take notes?"
Lu Bai and Li Ziyu looked at each other, and after some hesitation, they took the man back to the police station.
Police station, criminal police office.
Lu Bai continued to ask questions as usual, "Name, age."
"Wang Jucai, 17."
Lu Bai smiled subconsciously, "Why did your father give you this name?"
Wang Jucai said in an aggressive tone, "Because he hopes that he can have money to spend even if he doesn't work."
Lu Bai captured the key information in this sentence, "Does your father have no job? What is his name? When was the last time you saw him?"
Wang Jucai spread his hands and said, "He has no job. His name is Wang Kaixuan. I haven't seen him for half a month."
Li Ziyu stopped recording and asked, "I haven't seen him for half a month. How do you know that he killed someone?"
She became more and more interested in this father and daughter. They were willing to sacrifice their own family for the sake of justice.
Wang Jucai took out her cell phone. Since she was not a suspect at the moment, she was not taken to the interrogation room and her personal belongings were not confiscated.
She found a phone call dated exactly at the early morning of the 19th.
She said: "He called me and asked me to take a leave from school and go back home for a few days."
Lu Bai took the phone and asked, "How do you know if the victim is related to your father?"
Even the forensic doctor couldn't restore the victim's face, but a little girl was so sure about it.
Wang Kaixuan sighed, "Because my father is a gigolo, he hooked up with a rich woman a few years ago, and he comes home less and less often. He gives me a living allowance every month."
"Last month he told me that he would be paying my living expenses a few days later, and then he disappeared."
She pursed her lips and said, "When you were digging the septic tank today, I saw it. The clothes on the body were soaked, but I knew her. She was the rich woman my father was dating. Her name was Zhang Jin."
Wang Jucai half-raised himself, walked up to Lu Bai, and opened the photo album.
Pointing to a photo inside, "This is it. It's a photo of her and my dad."
Li Ziyu also came over to take a look. The clothes in the photo were indeed somewhat similar to those on the corpse.
Li Ziyu raised his eyes and looked at the girl, "Do you know where she lives?"
"It's a neighborhood in the new district. I forgot what it's called, but it's right under the elevated road. You can go look for it."
Lu Bai took new photos from his phone to collect evidence, and called Zhang Hai over, "Take another statement from her, Zi Yu, let's go."
In the car.
Li Ziyu felt that things were not as clear as they seemed. "Wang family father and daughter, do you feel something is strange?"
Lu Bai tapped his fingers on the steering wheel. "Daughter, report your father for murder. She hates her father very much."
She is still in school. If her father is arrested, her living expenses and tuition fees will all be interrupted.
Even if there is no emotion, for your own sake, you won't report it so easily.
Li Ziyu stared, "It seems that some of the relationships have been investigated."
The car drove down the overpass and before we turned, we arrived at a residential area that looked fairly new.
Lu Bai looked over there, gave a direction, and drove into the community.
The community's security guard was dozing off and casually lifted the pole for Lu Bai.
Lu Bai stopped the car and lowered the window. "Master, I want to ask you about someone."
The master half opened his eyes, "Coquettish?"
Lu Bai opened the photo he had just taken on his phone and asked, "Have you seen this person before?"
The eldest master waved his hands and said, "If you don't know me, what are you doing here? Which building are you going to?"
Lu Bai took out his ID and said, "Police, investigating the case, have you seen this person?"
Even though the security guard was experienced, he still felt a moment of nervousness when he saw the police officer's ID.
He was completely sleepless. "I've seen her. She lives in Building 3. I don't know the exact location. She often comes to us and says that other people's renovations are disturbing her. She's very upset."
Lu Bai was just about to start the car and drive in when he heard the old man sound as if he had eaten something.
He leaned against the window of the security booth, his eyes sparkling, "What happened to her?"
Lu Bai rolled up the car window and said, "Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask."
The car stopped in the road parking lot and Li Ziyu stretched her body. She had been working on cases until late at night these past few days and her old bones were really about to fall apart.
Lu Bai hooked his arm around her shoulders and said, "Let's go. This building has at least thirty floors. How long will it take to find it?"
【Find me and die! 】
"......"
[I am so annoyed. Working is annoying enough, and now I have to deal with such a grown woman. It is so difficult.]
The veins on Lu Bai's forehead jumped. What are you yelling about? Huh! Such a big one! A woman!
[However, how come she is not embarrassed at all? I said she was drunk and said nonsense, but now she doesn't even try to hide it. She is really thick-skinned.]
Lu Bai could no longer bear it, "Li Ziyu, if you have any opinions about me, you can just tell me directly."
However, she showed no intention of retracting her hand.
Li Ziyu blinked and said calmly, "I have no opinion about you."
[Did she take the wrong medicine? Why is she so crazy? I will take her to the temple to pray when she is resting. Don't tell me she is possessed by something.]
【All day long, he keeps talking nonsense.】
The elevator went up to the top floor.
Lu Bai's hand was always on Li Ziyu's shoulder. She was very calm. Li Ziyu seemed to be used to it and was not troubled at all.
【Wait, what's that smell?】
Li Ziyu raised his eyes and looked at the floor number on the elevator display.
[21st floor, was it the 21st floor just now? Is that... a bloody smell? ]
The next second after hearing the voice in his heart, Lu Bai pressed the button for the 23rd floor.
The elevator stopped on the 23rd floor and the door slowly opened.
In front of me was a whole piece of wood with a pungent smell of paint.
Li Ziyu frowned slightly, closed the elevator door, and pressed the button for the 21st floor.
As the elevator door opened again, the smell of blood and decay that rushed into Li Ziyu's nose made him feel a little nauseous.
The front door was very clean, as if it had been swept by someone.
The half-open door and the dim light in the room prompted the two to move closer.
[Such a strong smell, why didn't anyone notice it? And no one called the police? With such a strong smell, I'm afraid everyone's blood would be drained! ]
