Chapter 106 Orphan
◎Then why are they separated now?◎
After staying in the hospital for a full week, Zhao Xiangwan felt that he had gained weight.
Looking at her arms that were becoming increasingly round, although Luo Danfeng and Zhou Fangxi repeatedly asked her to take the opportunity to rest, Zhao Xiangwan really couldn't lie down any longer and asked to be discharged from the hospital.
The stitches were removed and the wound healed well.
Zhao Xiangwan returned to work and received applause.
"The hero returns!"
"This year's Advanced Individual Award must be given to Xiang Wan."
"The child's parents sent a banner and hung it behind your desk. What do you think? Are you happy?"
Zhao Xiangwan raised his head and turned to his desk. On the white wall behind him, there was a new banner with four large golden characters "Act Bravely for What Is Righteous" written on it.
The little girl is safe and sound, and the family is happy and complete. This sense of accomplishment is quite strong.
Thinking about it now, I still feel a little scared.
If he hadn't happened to run into the case team, this man would have slashed at innocent children with a steel knife. It was just after school, and the crowd was so dense. If he had swung the knife and blood flowed like a river, how many families would have shed tears? How many parents would have been heartbroken? The consequences are worrying.
After thanking everyone for their concern, Zhao Xiangwan still couldn't forget the drunk man's thoughts before he stabbed someone, and asked: "Did he confess? Why did he kill the child?"
Gao Guangqiang smiled and shook his head: "You, you seem to be more and more like a workaholic. You fought with criminals on the way to dinner and risked your life to save a child. As soon as you were discharged from the hospital, every word you said was about work."
Zhu Feipeng knew she couldn't sit still: "After several interrogations, he just said he was drunk and impulsive. We investigated his social connections and found out he was an unsuccessful bank clerk. He was recently scolded by his boss for making a few mistakes in the accounts, so he got drunk, took out a knife and chopped anyone he saw. He must be crazy."
Zhao Xiangwan asked: "Does he have a wife and children?"
Zhu Feipeng nodded: "Yes. Do you think he is sick? He has an eight-year-old daughter, but he still wants to kill children. What a bastard!"
Zhao Xiangwan asked again: "Have you seen his wife and children?"
Zhu Feipeng frowned and answered, "No. He said his wife took the children back to their hometown, but he didn't tell me the specific reason. His wife doesn't have a job and has been recuperating at home. His daughter just started the third grade of elementary school. According to the class teacher, it was only a week after the start of the school year, but he hurried to the school and said that his daughter had to go back to her hometown with her mother for something and asked for a month's leave."
When asked more specific questions, Zhou Rulan produced several interrogation records.
"The murderer's name is Min Chenghang. He works at the Jinsui Bank on Xinhua Road as a teller. His performance in the company is average. His leaders describe him as average in business ability, honest and conservative, always on time for get off work and never overtime. His colleagues describe him as taciturn, not fond of chatting with others, and not easy to get along with. His neighbors describe him as a good family man. His wife has long since retired and is in poor health. She has been seeing doctors and taking medicine all year round. His daughter is well-behaved, sensible, good at singing and dancing, and very beautiful."
Zhao Xiangwan glanced at Zhou Rulan approvingly and asked, "Min Chenghang didn't explain his motive for the attack?"
Zhou Rulan shook her head: "Personally, I think he is lying. A man like him was abandoned by his parents when he was young and grew up in an orphanage. He cares a lot about his family. His wife is unemployed and his daughter is eight years old and in elementary school. He has to support both of them. He can't make such an impulsive decision."
Liu Liangju also agreed with Zhou Rulan's point of view: "Yes, I also think that his excuse that he was in a bad mood after being scolded by his leader and suddenly became drunk and crazy is untenable. Oh, yes, there is one more thing..."
Liu Liangju paused for a moment. "It's the beginning of the new school year. If I put myself in his shoes, I would never let my daughter Liu Lizi take a leave of absence from school unless there was something urgent. However, Min Chenghang asked for a full month's leave for his daughter. When we asked him where his wife and daughter were and whether they kept in touch, he always avoided the topic and said that something happened at his parents' home and they would report it when they returned. I also felt that this matter was suspicious."
Zhao Xiangwan asked: "Where is his wife's family home? Can we ask the local police to help investigate?"
Liu Liangju spread his hands and said, "No one knows where his family is. We checked the household registration book and found that his wife, Min Jiahuai, is also an orphan. He and his wife grew up together in the Ci Xin Orphanage and they have a very deep relationship. I wonder if Min Jiahuai has found his biological parents recently? If Min Chenghang hadn't said it, no one would have known about it."
Things suddenly became confusing.
Thinking of the key information revealed in Min Chenghang's voice on the day he took action, Zhao Xiangwan pondered in silence.
【I'm sorry, kids.】
[If I don't want to live anymore, then no one else should live anymore! 】
[If my daughter can't survive, no one else's child can survive either——]
First, Min Chenghang was forced to do it. He felt guilty and sorry for the children. That's why he drank so much alcohol, which makes people bolder.
Second, Min Chenghang's daughter was in danger, and there was a high possibility that she was being restrained and forced to kill the child. Otherwise, Min Chenghang would not have said "My daughter can't survive".
What on earth forced Min Chenghang to change from an honest bank clerk to a murderer?
Zhao Xiangwan had a hunch that he had to get to the bottom of this matter, otherwise a major case might happen right under his nose.
While Zhao Xiangwan was pondering, Zhu Feipeng took out the photo of the steel knife and examined it carefully. Suddenly, he found a clue and said to Zhu Kang excitedly, "Hey, do you remember that there was a burglary in Zhu City two years ago? At that time, the Zhu City Public Security Bureau issued a cooperative investigation order to us and invited Ji Zhao to draw a portrait? This knife looks familiar, and his chopping posture, isn't it a little familiar?"
Zhu Kang nodded after he was reminded, "It seems so. I remember it was a case handled by three teams, right? A family of three was hacked to death, and all the belongings in the house were looted. Afterwards, the hostess described the appearance of the murderer after she woke up. The murderer was successfully arrested and brought to justice. After the identification, the evidence was confirmed. The prosecution filed a public prosecution, and in the end the court seemed to have sentenced him to suspended death sentence, right? I remember that the steel knife left at the scene was exactly the same as this knife."
Zhu Feipeng and Zhu Kang immediately became interested. It was an old case from two years ago, but they didn't expect to find similarities with Min Chenghang today. Was it a coincidence or a connection? Could they be members of the same gang? The two immediately stood up and ran to the Serious Case Team 3 to check the files and learn more details.
Zhao Xiangwan sat down and carefully looked through Min Chenghang's personal information and interrogation records.
The key now is to find Min Chenghang's wife and daughter and learn the details. Or, to ask Min Chenghang what kind of situation his wife and daughter are facing and what those people behind him want to do.
It is very difficult to pry open Min Chenghang's mouth. He can even put his life, reputation and work aside, so this matter must be of great importance.
About an hour later, Zhu Feipeng and Zhu Kangxing rushed back.
"Comrades, a great discovery! A great discovery."
"I'm afraid this time the three groups will be impressed."
Everyone started moving.
Gao Guangqiang was originally transferred from the Serious Crime Unit 3 and was very familiar with the personnel there. He stood up and asked, "Why, what did Unit 3 say?"
Ai Hui loves to join in the fun, and asked excitedly: "What did you find? Why do the three groups need to be re-examined?"
Even Zhou Rulan, who was the quietest, raised her head and pricked up her ears to pay attention to what was going to happen next.
Zhu Feipeng opened the case file and put the two photos of the murder weapon together: "Take a look, do you think the murder weapons are similar?"
Everyone came over to check it out.
Liu Liangju raised his eyebrows: "You know what, they really look like each other."
This is an open-circuit machete with a relatively thin blade, about 4 mm thick, a blade length of 240 mm, and a weight of about 600 grams. This machete is a controlled knife and ordinary people cannot buy it at all.
The same machete was used once in a home robbery two years ago and this time in a murder at the gate of an elementary school.
Is Min Chenghang related to the murderer of this robbery?
Zhu Kang took out the murderer's photo and asked everyone to take a closer look: "Look, this is the murderer we caught based on the female protagonist's statement. It was identified as him."
It's no big deal when they see this, everyone is stunned.
"Oh my god! This is too similar!"
"I can't say they are very similar, they are exactly the same."
"What happened? Is this a mistake?"
When it came to the possibility of arresting the wrong person, Gao Guangqiang became nervous: "Xiao Fei, did the murderer confess his crime after being arrested?" If the wrong person was arrested, then... Group 3 would be completely slapped in the face.
Zhu Feipeng said: "On November 6, 1993, a two-story bungalow near Zhushi Railway Station was robbed. The first floor had two floors facing the street, doing construction materials business, and the second floor had two bedrooms and a living room, where a family of three lived. The murderer first pried open the closed door on the first floor, searched but did not find any cash, so he went upstairs from the left outdoor stairs and pried open the door. Because the noise was too loud, the Male and female owners were alarmed and came out of the bedroom to check. He swung a knife at them, slashed them several times and knocked them to the ground, then calmly robbed the house of all its belongings, and in the process he also chopped down a crying three-year-old child."
Liu Liangju's heart sank, and he asked, "Is the child okay?"
Zhu Feipeng said: "The family of three was rescued and their lives are safe, but the child was stabbed twice in the head and suffered serious injuries, which damaged his intelligence. The male owner was left with a disability and still walks with a limp, and the female owner had scars on her face, which disfigured her."
Everyone shook their heads and sighed: How terrible!
Zhu Feipeng continued to talk about the case: "This case was too brutal and had a bad impact in the local area. It alarmed the provincial department, which ordered a quick search for the murderer. Xiang Wan, do you remember? At that time, the Zhushi Public Security Bureau did not have a criminal portrait painter. After hearing about Ji Zhao's reputation, they came to ask him to paint a portrait. He completed the portrait based on the description of the hostess who was less injured at the time, and quickly locked in the murderer and arrested him."
Zhao Xiangwan nodded. She had an impression of the case. Although she did not participate in the whole process, she helped communicate because Ji Zhao needed a portrait. Although it was midnight, the hostess had turned on the light and saw the murderer's face at that moment, so the description was very complete. Two years later, Zhao Xiangwan had forgotten the murderer's appearance, but now seeing the photo in front of her, her memory was awakened. It was just that the drunk man had a scruffy beard at the time, which was quite different from the portrait, and she did not recognize him at first.
At the time, she felt that the murderer was extremely arrogant.
Normally robbers would wear masks when breaking into a house, but he was different. He just pried open the door with a knife and hacked anyone he saw, regardless of whether they were dead or alive. He took the money and left.
The murderer was named Qiu Sanyong, and was called a "violent bandit" by newspapers at the time.
Zhao Xiangwan asked: "Did the murderer confess his guilt?"
Zhu Feipeng shook his head: "No, Qiu Sanyong was very stubborn and refused to plead guilty. But according to eyewitnesses, a yellow taxi was seen downstairs at the crime scene that night. Although Qiu Sanyong argued that he was drunk and slept at home, his whereabouts on the night of the crime became a mystery due to the lack of witnesses. The footprints were matched, and the machete in the photo was found in his house. The key point was that the hostess recognized him at first sight during the identification process and said it was him. After all the evidence was collected, the prosecution filed a lawsuit and the court tried the case. I remember that he was sentenced to death with a two-year reprieve in the end, and he should be serving his sentence in Shazhou Prison now."
Zhao Xiangwan asked again: "What is the basic situation of the murderer?"
Zhu Kang looked at the file and answered seriously: "Qiu Sanyong was born in Houwan Village, Tianwu Township, Luo County in 1962. He joined the army after graduating from high school. He served as a car soldier and a military gun inspector. After demobilization in 1983, Qiu Sanyong joined Zhushi Transport Company. In 1986, he became a taxi driver. His income level was considered high at the time, but I don’t know why he was never satisfied with the status quo. He drank and boasted with his comrades and friends. In his words, he felt that God was unfair and wanted to get rich overnight. He got married and had a son, but the relationship between the couple was strained after marriage. Two years later, they divorced and the son was raised by his ex-wife."
Zhao Xiangwan thought thoughtfully: "He has been a car mechanic and a gun inspector? This shows that Qiu Sanyong is very familiar with car repair and guns. If such a person is dissatisfied with the status quo and wants to take revenge on society, he will be very destructive."
Zhu Kang nodded and said, "Yes, so when he was arrested, although he did not plead guilty, the court found him guilty because the chain of evidence was complete and clear."
Zhu Feipeng said: "On the day of the incident, he said he drank with friends and got drunk. He fell asleep as soon as he got home. When asked why he had a knife at home, he said he bought it and put it in the taxi for self-defense. He was wearing Jiefang brand rubber shoes, and the shoe prints matched."
Gao Guangqiang asked: "Is there any blood on the knife?"
Zhu Feipeng replied: "The knife has been cleaned countless times and no blood stains were found."
Gao Guangqiang asked again: "Where is the blood-stained shirt?"
Zhu Feipeng: "It must have been thrown away. No one found it at home."
Gao Guangqiang frowned: "Where are the belongings?"
Zhu Feipeng: "When we caught him, it was already a week after the crime. He drove to Xing City with two friends, stayed in a hotel, went shopping, and drank. I guess he spent all his money."
Gao Guangqiang continued to ask: "Didn't they say that gold jewelry was also taken away? Have they been disposed of?"
Zhu Feipeng was a little speechless, and after thinking for a while, he said, "It seems... he sold it, but he didn't tell me how to sell it."
Zhao Xiangwan said, "Is this what you call a complete and clear chain of evidence? He drove out with his friends for a week. Who were these friends? Did they explain where they were going? What did they do that week? Are there any witnesses?"
Zhu Feipeng pushed all the information in the file in front of her: "Look for yourself, these peripheral investigations are quite detailed. It is precisely because Star City is involved that Zhu City asked our Municipal Bureau to cooperate. At that time, the investigators of Group 3 visited Qiu Sanyong's whereabouts in Star City and arrested a group of people from underground banks and underground casinos. It can be basically determined that he did it!"
Zhao Xiangwan took the file and quickly skimmed through it while asking, "Since it's certain that he did it, then what do you mean by saying that this time the Serious Case Team 3 will take notice?"
When this was mentioned, Zhu Feipeng's eyebrows immediately danced with joy: "I have an idea, I don't know if it's right. I suspect that the three major crime teams arrested the wrong person! Min Chenghang and Qiu Sanyong are twins, or brothers, but I don't know why they were separated for many years. The person who robbed in Zhu City was Min Chenghang, but because he was in Xing City and had been working honestly in the bank, no one suspected him, and no one reported him. Qiu Sanyong was in Zhu City, and he was a taxi driver, so he knew many people, so he was recognized and arrested."
From the photos, Min Chenghang and Qiu Sanyong look very similar, both have diamond-shaped faces, high cheekbones, thick eyebrows, brows and eyes that tilt downward, thick lips with slightly rounded corners, and look simple and honest. If you must find a difference, Min Chenghang grew up in an orphanage, was a bit malnourished, and was relatively thin, while Qiu Sanyong was stronger because he had served in the military.
Twins? Brothers? Considering that Min Chenghang grew up in an orphanage, this is indeed possible.
Gao Guangqiang said, "What are you waiting for? Let's start the trial right away. Xiaofei, Xiaokang, Xiangwan, the three of you come with me."
If the wrong person is caught, that would be a big deal!
Although the Xing City Public Security Bureau was not the main organizer of this case, as a co-organizer, they would also feel embarrassed.
Qiu Sanyong refused to plead guilty, but was imprisoned for two years. Now you say we made a mistake? Where is the credibility of the public security, procuratorial and judicial organs?
Zhao Xiangwan walked and thought.
Min Chenghang lived in Xing City and had a family. Why did he go to Zhu City to commit a crime late at night?
Where did he buy the machete?
Why did he suddenly get drunk and hack people in the street this time?
Zhu Feipeng was still immersed in excitement, and he kept muttering as he walked: "Do you think this can be regarded as the law of justice? I guess this guy was drunk and couldn't help swinging the machete, and we caught him. I didn't expect that he would expose himself!"
Gao Guangqiang stopped Zhu Feipeng with a cold face: "Don't be prejudiced! Since the court was able to convict Qiu Sanyong, it means that there was sufficient evidence. How could it be so easily overturned? Besides, even if it is really a wrong verdict, why are you so excited? Because of the negligence of our investigators, the real culprit was hidden and the innocent person was sent to prison. Is it glorious? "
After being yelled at by the team leader, Zhu Feipeng immediately became dispirited and dared not say anything.
In the interrogation room, Min Chenghang, with a haggard face and untidy beard, looked nervously at the four police officers who came in.
When he saw Zhao Xiangwan, his pupils shrank.
【She's fine.】
【Fortunately, she is fine. 】
[Since I've been caught by the police, my mission is halfway accomplished.]
Zhao Xiangwan sat down, his uniform straight and his attitude calm.
Min Chenghang lowered his head, pursed his lips, looked at the floor beneath his feet, and waited for the police's interrogation.
Gao Guangqiang asked again: "Min Chenghang, tell me the truth, why did you swing a knife and chop people in the street?"
Min Chenghang answered honestly: "I was a little confused after drinking. I don't know how I took the machete and walked out onto the street. Then you stopped me and asked me questions. I was very nervous and you shouted that. I was so scared that my mind went blank and I subconsciously chopped with the machete. As for who I chopped, I really didn't pay attention."
Gao Guangqiang asked back: "Who was it that was chopped? Did you really not notice?"
Min Chenghang replied in a low voice: "Yes."
Gao Guangqiang shouted, "Raise your head and take a good look at who she is."
Min Chenghang raised his head, followed the direction of Gao Guangqiang's finger, looked at Zhao Xiangwan, and pretended to be surprised: "Did I chop her? Sorry, police comrade."
If Zhao Xiangwan hadn't heard his thoughts as soon as he came in, he would have been fooled by him.
Gao Guangqiang said sternly, "You recognized her as soon as she came in. Why did you lie to us?"
Learning micro-expression behavior is nothing but an intuition for experienced criminal police.
But at a glance, Gao Guangqiang could tell that Min Chenghang was lying.
Min Chenghang glanced at Zhao Xiangwan again and nodded perfunctorily: "She wasn't wearing a police uniform at the time, so I really didn't recognize her."
[Whether you can recognize it or not, what does it matter? 】
【Why do these police officers keep getting tangled up in these matters? 】
[They didn’t let me take the initiative to explain, saying it had to be natural. Oh! What does it mean to be natural?]
When Zhao Xiangwan heard this, his eyes narrowed and dimmed.
They? Who are they? Let's not interrupt his train of thought. Let's hear what he has to say next.
Gao Guangqiang emphasized: "Min Chenghang, you hacked people in the street. This is a heinous crime. We must inform your family..."
Before he could finish his sentence, the word "family" immediately changed Min Chenghang's expression: "No, don't inform them. My wife is in poor health and my daughter is only eight years old. Don't let them know about my situation."
Gao Guangqiang said coldly, "You also know that your wife is in poor health and your daughter is only eight years old? Then do you know that once you go to prison, their lives will be difficult? Your wife has chronic nephritis and needs to take medication all year round. She cannot do heavy physical labor, and your daughter is still in elementary school. Let me ask you! Before you drank and swung the knife to attack people, didn't you think about them?"
Min Chenghang's eyes gradually turned red as his inner thoughts were touched upon. He gritted his teeth and tried hard to control his emotions, but his ups and downs of his chest and his heavy breathing betrayed his suppressed pain.
【Do you think I want to? 】
【Who told them to get that piece of shit out? 】
[They kidnapped my wife and children, what can I do? ]
Zhao Xiangwan is now able to confirm that Min Chenghang's wife and children were kidnapped, and he was forced to hack the children to death with a knife according to the kidnappers' demands.
Now comes the new problem – which dog thing to get out?
Zhao Xiangwan was a little suspicious, but not sure, so he looked up at Zhu Feipeng.
Zhu Feipeng accepted Zhao Xiangwan's signal and picked up the steel knife in the transparent evidence bag: "Knife, where did you get it from?"
During the previous interrogations, Min Chenghang resisted passively and did not say a word.
I don’t know if it was because he met Zhao Xiangwan today or because he had an appointment with the so-called “them”, but in any case, Min Chenghang was very cooperative during this interrogation.
Hearing Zhu Feipeng's question, he looked up at the knife in front of him and said expressionlessly, "I bought it."
"Where did you buy it?"
"There's a small market at the train station. There's a lot of stuff on the second floor. They say knives are regulated, but as long as there are people who want to buy them, there will be people who sell them."
Zhu Feipeng and Gao Guangqiang exchanged a look. Damn it! Investigate and deal with it immediately.
But the most urgent task now is to find out the source of the knife and understand Min Chenghang's motive for murder.
"Which store did you buy it from? When did you buy it?"
Min Chenghang's eyes flickered: "I forgot."
Zhu Feipeng slammed the table and raised his voice suddenly: "Min Chenghang, you have already made a big mistake. Only by telling the truth can you get lenient treatment. Think about your wife and your daughter. Do you want to never see them again?"
Min Chenghang lowered his head and answered reluctantly: "I don't remember the name of the store anymore, I just know the owner's name is Aqiang."
In Zhu Kang's notebook, he wrote down the name "A Qiang".
Zhu Feipeng asked again: "Why did you buy a knife?"
Min Chenghang turned his head and said in a low voice: "I like it."
Zhu Feipeng didn't hear clearly: "What?"
Min Chenghang raised his voice a little: "It's a hobby. I like collecting knives, and I saw this shape was interesting, so I bought it."
An honest and unsociable bank clerk whose hobby is collecting knives? Isn't he afraid of scaring the children?
As expected, Zhu Feipeng asked, "Does your daughter know about your hobby?"
Min Chenghang shook his head: "I don't know. I didn't dare to scare the child, and I usually couldn't bear to spend money on it, so I often went to the small commodity market at the railway station to shop. It was just a coincidence that day, and I had some money on hand, so I bought it, and kept it in the drawer, so the child didn't see it."
Zhu Feipeng asked again: "When did you buy it? Why did you have some spare money?"
Min Chenghang answered fluently: "In July, the company just issued half a year's performance awards."
Zhu Feipeng tried to verify: "Did you buy it two months ago?"
Min Chenghang nodded: "Yes."
There are no problems at this point in the interrogation.
Zhu Feipeng suddenly went straight to the point: "What were you doing on the night of November 6 two years ago?"
Min Chenghang raised his head suddenly, with an abnormal excitement in his eyes: "What did you say?"
【Here it comes, the police finally asked this question.】
Zhu Feipeng asked again: "What were you doing after 10 o'clock on the evening of November 6, 1993?"
Min Chenghang opened his eyes wide, opened his mouth, and looked panicked.
However, his panicked expression stayed on his face for too long and looked fake.
In the theory of micro-expression psychology, micro-expressions are the natural expression of the inner heart. They are short-lived facial expressions that humans make unconsciously when trying to hide certain emotions. They usually stay on the face for no more than 0.2 seconds. Min Chenghang's panic expression that stayed on his face for more than a second is obviously a pretense and deliberate.
Seeing Min Chenghang so flustered, Zhu Feipeng stared into his eyes and continued to ask: "Think carefully, that day was Saturday, where were you?"
Min Chenghang's gaze turned to the upper left of his sight line, which represented memories, not fabrication.
"Comrade police officer, who can remember two years ago so clearly? I was in Xing City the whole time two years ago and never left. If it was a Saturday, I would usually watch TV with Shuangshuang after get off work. My Shuangshuang was six and a half years old and in elementary school. If you are talking about two years ago, in 1993, Shuangshuang had just started elementary school and didn't have much homework, so I watched TV with her. Children are so cute, singing and dancing along with the TV."
Zhu Feipeng observed his micro-expressions and verified what Xiang Wan said, and felt a strong sense of disharmony in his heart. If he was telling the truth, didn't it mean that he didn't leave Xing City on November 6, 1993? Then... was Qiu Sanyong really the one who broke into the house and robbed it?
Zhu Feipeng did not give up and asked again: "Who can prove that you were in Xing City that day?"
Min Chenghang's eyes wandered: "I was at home with my children, my wife and children knew it. But it's been so long, who can remember it so clearly?"
Zhu Feipeng tried to use Zhao Xiangwan's interrogation method: "There must be someone who can prove it, right? Neighbor? Friend? Colleague? Or leader?"
When the word "leader" was mentioned, Min Chenghang's eyelids twitched, and he was obviously nervous.
Zhu Feipeng's eyes lit up: There's hope!
His eyes sparkled and he said loudly, "Very good. Can your leader prove that your whereabouts are correct? Which leader? The account manager, the branch manager, or..."
Zhu Feipeng once again grasped the change in Min Chenghang's expression: "Very good, it seems that the account manager can prove your whereabouts!"
[Very good, this policeman is very good.]
【Feedback will be available soon.】
Min Chenghang's thoughts made Zhao Xiangwan more confused.
He gradually aroused the suspicion of the police. What was he trying to do? What was his ultimate purpose in going to such great lengths to exonerate Qiu Sanyong?
The more you give, the more you get.
——Zhao Xiangwan understood this principle very well.
All she can do now is wait and see.
Zhu Feipeng raised another question. He held up a photo of Qiu Sanyong before he went to prison and showed it to Min Chenghang: "Look carefully, do you recognize this person?"
Min Chenghang took a closer look, his expression a little exaggerated: "Who is he? Why does he look so much like me?" He suddenly became excited, leaning forward, wanting to throw himself on the table: "Is he my brother? Who are my parents? Why did they abandon me to an orphanage?"
Zhu Feipeng looked at Min Chenghang suspiciously: "You don't recognize him?"
Min Chenghang shook his head repeatedly, his expression unable to hide his longing: "I don't know him, who is he? Tell me, who is he? Where is his ancestral home? Does he have a father?
Mother? Do you have any brothers or sisters?"
[Who knows who he is? I only know that they are all for him! ]
[This dog, if it weren't for you, Jiahuai and Shuangshuang wouldn't have been taken away! ]
Zhao Xiangwan did not interrupt Min Chenghang's performance.
His wife and daughter were kidnapped. In order to fulfill the kidnapper's request, he conscientiously played the role of a robber who hid his burglary in his heart but accidentally revealed his true colors after being drunk.
What a qualified actor.
After asking this question, Zhu Feipeng felt he had nothing to say, so he turned his gaze to Zhao Xiangwan, who had been sitting next to him without saying a word.
Zhao Xiangwan bowed slightly and asked a few questions unrelated to the case.
"Min Chenghang, were you abandoned in an orphanage when you were young?"
"Yes, the caregiver at the Cixin Orphanage said that I was left at the gate in the spring of 1960."
Spring of 1960? Then he and Qiu Sanyong, who was born in 1962, are not twins. They may be brothers.
"Did you have any identification information on you at the time?"
Children who grew up in an orphanage are very sensitive about their backgrounds and are very eager to have a family. Min Chenghang was not disgusted by Zhao Xiangwan's questions, but took the initiative to strike up a conversation.
"No. From 1959 to 1961, our country encountered severe economic difficulties and agricultural production dropped sharply. I was born at a bad time. My family probably couldn't support me, so they abandoned me. I can actually understand my parents' feelings. The director said that the orphanage took in many children in those years. If it weren't for the help of kind people and national policies, our group of children would have starved to death."
"I heard that you and your wife met in an orphanage?"
When talking about his wife, Min Chenghang's eyes softened noticeably, and it was obvious that the two had a very good relationship.
"Yes. Jiahuai was brought here in the summer, a few months younger than me. I heard from the nursery staff that she was as thin as a bean sprout at the time, and people thought she would not survive. But she was very resilient and survived, and she became more and more beautiful. It's just that because of her congenital defects, she could not gain weight. After giving birth to Shuangshuang, she was diagnosed with nephritis. There was nothing we could do, it's a disease of the rich, and we could only take care of her slowly."
Zhao Xiangwan continued to ask: "What is so particular about your names?"
Min Chenghang had not expected the police to be interested in these things, but he was very excited and answered in detail: "All of our children have the same surname as the donor, Min. The first character of the name is arranged in order of Cheng, Jia, Li, and Ye, corresponding to the time of the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter when they were sent here. The last character is found in the dictionary. I was sent here in the spring, so I was named Min Chenghang. My wife was sent here in the summer, so she is named Min Jiahuai."
Zhao Xiangwan smiled and nodded: "What about your daughter?"
Speaking of the one he loves, Min Chenghang wiped away his previous dejection, his eyes sparkled, and his speech became faster: "We both have the last name Min, so our daughter is called Min Shuangshuang. Jiahuai and I grew up in an orphanage. We received government funding to finish junior high school. I went to a bank school, and she was recruited to work in a factory. We grew up together. We would divide a steamed bread into two halves to eat, and we couldn't bear to leave each other for a moment, so the child was called Shuangshuang. In pairs, never separated."
Zhao Xiangwan changed the subject: "Then why are you separated now?"
In the last second, the spring breeze brought back warm memories.
The next second, the cold wind and rain pierced my heart.
Min Chenghang suddenly became stiff.
His neck became extremely stiff, his back stood straight, his eyes suddenly turned cold, and he stared straight at Zhao Xiangwan.
[Is she trying to dig out my heart? ]
[How could I bear to be separated from Jia Huai? She and I have been together since we were old enough to understand. We eat together, sleep together, play together, study together, and hold hands wherever we go. We have never had relatives to love us since we were young, so we are each other's relatives.]
【After having Shuangshuang, our family is finally complete. I cried all night while holding Shuangshuang in my arms. My name is Min Chenghang. My last name is from a donor, and my first name was determined by time and the dictionary. Only Shuangshuang is my flesh and blood, the closest person to me by blood.】
Zhao Xiangwan interrupted his self-sensational speech: "After you cut me, I was sent to the hospital. My parents, grandmother, and boyfriend took turns to look after me. Bonito soup, dragon bone soup, pork liver soup, milk, fresh fruit... all kinds of food were brought to me in a constant stream. My grandmother told me not to eat soy sauce to avoid scars; not to eat chicken or lamb to avoid getting angry; my parents told me not to fight too hard and not to risk my life to save others."
Min Chenghang was attracted by her words and yearned for that warm scene.
[That's great! This police officer is so lucky. If I could enjoy all of this, I would be willing to be stabbed ten times by her.]
Zhao Xiangwan suddenly stopped describing, with a sneer on his face, and looked at Min Chenghang quietly.
Min Chenghang met her gaze blankly: "What's wrong? Go on, keep talking, I want to hear it."
Zhao Xiangwan said calmly, "This week, I've been enjoying the warmth of my family in the hospital. But what about you? Are you alone in the detention center confessing your sins?"
Min Chenghang was struck directly in the heart by her words, and his thick lips were trembled slightly.
Zhao Xiangwan continued to provoke him: "Where is your wife Min Jiahuai? Where is your daughter Min Shuangshuang? Where are they? Why don't they come to see you?"
Min Chenghang suddenly became furious, stood up abruptly, and hit his head hard with his handcuffed hands.
"Bang! Boom!"
This act of self-mutilation was immediately stopped by public security police.
Min Chenghang glared at Zhao Xiangwan: "Shut up, you shut up!"
Zhao Xiangwan placed his hands on the table, straightened his body, and his eyes suddenly became sharp: "You want me to shut up? Unless you tell me where they are now? Are they safe?"
