Highway Burial Case (VII)
After Wu Yan killed Shen Baokun, he made an appointment with Qiao Shengjie in his name, and the location was Wu's house.
Qiao Shengjie was very scared, but he went anyway. He was afraid that if he didn't go, Shen Baokun would cause trouble. So when he arrived at the place, he didn't see anyone. After waiting for a long time, when he was about to leave, he met Wu Yan.
Wu Yan took Shen Baokun's ID card to gain Qiao Shengjie's trust. He told Qiao Shengjie that Shen Baokun was in a grove, and he would lead the way to which grove.
Cursing, Qiao Shengjie followed Wu Yan to the former pig farm, where Wu Yan had laid out electrical wires in advance. After Qiao Shengjie was electrocuted, Wu Yan took out a confession he had written in advance, bit Qiao Shengjie's finger, pressed his fingerprint, killed him, and buried him in the woods.
After Shen Baokun and Qiao Shengjie were killed, Bai Wei and Mai Jiang became alert. They agreed to run away together, but Wu Yan was faster than them and kidnapped Bai Wei.
Just then, a road was being built in the shantytown, and Wu Yan went there as a temporary worker. While paving the road, he suddenly had an inspiration and came up with the idea of killing Bai Wei. He cut off Bai Wei's tongue in advance so that he could not call for help. One night, when he was working alone, he buried Bai Wei alive.
As for Mai Jiang, he didn't wait for Bai Wei, and was afraid, so he decided to run away alone. He bought a ticket and took a bus to another place, but he was unfamiliar with the place and had no skills, so he had to do odd jobs everywhere. He really couldn't bear the hardship, so he returned to Nanfu three months later.
He felt that after such a long time, Bai Wei would not come to see him. He felt comfortable for a few days at first, and then suddenly one day he received a message from Bai Wei. Bai Wei said that he had hidden in the deep mountains and forests, where he was very safe and could hunt game, so he asked him to go too.
Mai Jiang thought Bai Wei was dead, but he didn't expect that he was still alive, so he went happily. Unexpectedly, at the top of the mountain, he saw Wu Yan, who had been waiting for a long time.
It was too late for Mai Jiang to regret. He knelt down and begged Wu Yan to let him go. He only stole money, did not kill anyone, and did not rape his mother.
But Wu Yan was already blinded by rage and there was no way he would let Mai Jiang go.
He approached Mai Jiang step by step, and Mai Jiang turned around and ran, but he forgot that Wu Yan had set a trap here a long time ago. Mai Jiang missed a step and fell off the cliff.
Wu Yan looked at his rolling figure with cold eyes, without a trace of warmth.
He was afraid that Mai Jiang was still alive, so he went to the bottom of the cliff to confirm. When he felt his breath with his fingers and found no trace of heat, Wu Yan smiled with satisfaction.
My parents’ revenge has finally been taken! His wish has been fulfilled.
After reading the notes, Gu Fang was unable to speak for a long time. Wu Yan planned step by step with careful thinking and killed four people in one fell swoop.
Shen Xingyan walked over quickly and took out the test report. "The hair found on Bai Wei's body was confirmed to be Wu Yan's hair. The bloodstains found in his bathroom were confirmed to be Shen Baokun's."
Gu Fang read the report and took it together with his notebook into the interrogation room. Wu Yan saw the familiar black cover and curled his lips, "You searched my house?"
"The procedure was legal and I applied for a search warrant."
"Those are just my imaginary notes. They don't count."
"We already have other evidence." Gu Fang put the report in front of him. Wu Yan glanced at him, his expression froze, and he lowered his eyelids. "I was too eager for revenge and neglected the details. I shouldn't have killed Shen Baokun at home. I once thought about killing him at the place where my parents died tragically, so that he could atone for my parents' sins.
But the place is now secluded, and taking him there will inevitably arouse suspicion. I still have to kill the other three, so I can't alert them. ”
"I don't understand why you wrote a novel to expose yourself? If it weren't for your novel, we might not have been able to track down this serial murder case."
"In that case, my parents' tragic death will be covered up forever. They deserve peace. Shen Baokun and his men are murderers and should be judged by the world. I will be the sacrifice."
"You think that if you do this, they will be at peace. If they were alive, they would hope to see you have a happy family and a wonderful life."
Wu Yan smiled, but a tear fell from the corner of his eye. "But they died, leaving me alone in the world. ... They will be sentenced to death. I can finally see them. I miss them so much."
…
The case was over and the Second Team was able to take a break. Shen Xingyan got busy. The provincial department organized forensic doctors from various counties and cities to participate in training, and Shen Xingyan was the instructor.
Shen Xingyan not only had to train them on how to extract DNA from skeletons, but also had to answer some of their wild questions.
For example, what exactly is DNA, why is it different for each person, why DNA cannot be tested on hair without scalp, and what is paternity testing?
DNA is an unfamiliar word to some people. In some places, DNA technology has not even been popularized. Older forensic scientists find it unbelievable.
Shen Xingyan's training progress is very slow, she needs to start from the most basic. In addition to giving lectures, she had to look up various documents to prepare for her lessons. If she couldn't find the information, she could only ponder and look for it in the knowledge of later generations.
Shen Xingyan's training was praised by provincial department leaders. He did not expect that a forensic doctor who had graduated from university would have such a broad range of knowledge. This also allowed him to see the future recruitment direction, which is to select more talents from universities to fill the forensic team, which would greatly improve the efficiency of solving cases.
Zhang Changming also received a call of praise from the provincial department leaders, who praised him for his keen eye for talent and for finding rare talents for the police system. Zhang Changming accepted the compliment with a smile and modestly stated that he would continue to work hard in the future to find more and better talents for the police system.
Gu Fang was right next to him when he answered the phone. Gu Fang smiled, waited for him to hang up the phone, and said sarcastically: "How shameless! Is Xiao Shen the talent you are looking for? It's me! I am the one who has a keen eye for talent!"
Zhang Changming chuckled, "I know you are a hero in our bureau. So, next time I go to the provincial department, I will focus on mentioning you to the leaders."
"No, I don't want those false names."
"That's perfect. I like fame. Give me all the fame."
Gu Fang: ...
Old fox.
Shen Xingyan trained continuously for half a month and his voice became hoarse, so he was able to take a break.
Seeing this, Zhang Changming directly approved a week's leave for her so that she could have a good rest and relax her throat.
The entire Municipal Bureau was so jealous that their eyes turned green with envy. When had Zhang Changming ever been so generous? It was unprecedented that he could approve three days of leave.
Zhou Chengzhou ran up to him and said, "Director Zhang, you can't just focus on the forensic doctor. Our first team has also worked hard. We have successively busted three human traffickers and saved many families. You have to tell the leaders of the provincial department about this. When you hold the commendation meeting, please also praise us. You can't just give all the credit to the second team and the forensic doctor's office."
Zhang Changming was drinking tea and snorted when he heard this. "The human traffickers' den you seized was said to be three, just temporary resting places. None of the leaders were caught, they were all small fry. If I report this to the provincial department, won't I be slapped in the face by those old men in the provincial department?"
Zhou Chengzhou was unhappy. "The minions are also criminals. We can't erase our contributions just because they are small."
"Who said you didn't make any contribution? At least you caught a few leaders."
Zhou Chengzhou rolled his eyes. "It's not that easy. We spent a long time to find these few dens. I don't believe that the Second Detachment can find the leader of the human traffickers."
"Catching the human traffickers is your case, how come it involves the Second Detachment? Chengzhou, you need to calm down and stop thinking about taking credit. Go back and learn from Zhenhai."
Zhou Chengzhou's eyelids jumped and he laughed dryly. "I know. I'll go back to the team first. I have a lot of things to do. By the way, when will the captain of the first team take office? I can't stand it anymore. I'm too tired."
"The provincial department has not yet decided. You will have to work hard for a while."
Zhou Chengzhou went out with a sigh, and Zhang Changming stared at his back with a dark look in his eyes.
…
Shen Xingyan slept until nine o'clock before getting up. Her throat hurt as if a knife was cutting it. She opened her mouth and made a hoarse sound. She was afraid that she would not be able to speak for the next few days.
After washing up, I cooked millet porridge and eggs. I broke the eggs into pieces, mashed them into the porridge, and ate them slowly. It was difficult to swallow each time.
After dinner, I took a few pills and turned on the TV. Just as I watched the beginning of the show, the doorbell rang. Shen Xingyan went to open the door, saw Song Xijun, smiled and invited her in. Pour some water and put it on the coffee table.
Song Xijun kicked off his shoes, stepped on the floor barefoot, climbed onto the sofa and nestled inside. "I heard that you are now a popular figure in the provincial department. My classmates are all asking me about you and asking when we can get together."
Shen Xingyan rolled his eyes and said in a hoarse voice: "Don't listen to hearsay, I'm just going to give a lecture."
Song Xijun was startled, "Why is your voice like this?"
"I was teaching in class."
Song Xijun was shocked. "It seems that being a celebrity is not easy. I'll give it up and wait until you get better."
"How's it going over there?"
"Since Mo Xuyan was arrested, I have written follow-up reports on the case. The sales of Xiangwan Evening News have fallen, but the sales of our daily newspaper are slowly recovering. I mentioned the serialization of martial arts novels to the editor-in-chief, and the editor-in-chief said that as long as we find a good story, we can serialize it. I am looking for one now, and I have also tried to write a little. I brought it here, you can show it to me."
Shen Xingyan waved her hand, "You can let me do an autopsy, but forget about asking me to read a novel."
"Just look at what I wrote from the perspective of an ordinary reader and see if it's attractive enough." Song Xijun took out a stack of papers from her bag. The words on it were densely packed, and it was estimated that there were dozens of pages.
The corners of Shen Xingyan's mouth twitched. She called this a little bit.
The story was about a young man who was a hero and it was obvious that it was imitating Mo Xuyan. Shen Xingyan put it down after reading a few pages.
Song Xijun was originally very excited and nervous. Seeing this, he slumped his shoulders in disappointment and said, "I knew it wouldn't work."
"Your writing is very good and can attract people to read it, but I think it is still lacking something for serialization in newspapers. I can't tell you what it is. Why don't you show it to people in the industry? Their opinions will be pertinent. Don't be discouraged. Nothing can be achieved overnight."
"I know. I'll ask Sister Hong for help." Seeing Shen Xingyan's face full of questions, he explained, "Sister Hong is my editor. She has a solid cultural foundation and has read many books. She should be able to guide me."
"That's the best. It's better than a layman like me."
The two were chatting while watching TV. Song Xijun was hungry, and Shen Xingyan said that there was some noodles at home and he was going to cook some noodles for her. Then the doorbell rang again.
Song Xijun ran over to open the door and was startled when he saw someone outside. "Who are you looking for?"
The man was stunned for a moment and said, "Does Shen Xingyan live here? I'm her classmate."
Song Xijun looked her up and down. She was nearly 1.7 meters tall, with a high ponytail, a denim jacket, blue jeans, and a pair of hiking shoes. There was a slight smile on her lips and her eyes were sharp.
Song Xijun nodded, wondering if there was such a person among Shen Xingyan’s classmates?
