Chapter 88: Heartbreak
◎He could have really possessed all of this!◎
Gou Weiping couldn't understand why he was captured so quickly, but Zhao Xiangwan knew it very well.
Since arriving in Kyoto, Zhao Xiangwan has been pushing the case forward step by step at his own pace.
The first step is to enter the crime scene, recreate the crime process, and find places that match the details provided by Zhao Chenyang;
The second step is to join the serious crime team to familiarize yourself with the cases, quickly integrate into the team with a strong attitude, and participate in criminal portrait work;
The third step was to induce the only eyewitness, Feng Jianlie, to enter a hypnotic state and reproduce the memory scenes, so that Ji Zhao could complete the portrait.
The fourth step is to participate in the investigation of the serious crime team, cleverly insert the details provided by Zhao Chenyang into the task arrangement, lead Sun Xiu to find important evidence, narrow the scope of investigation, find the suspect's place of work, and finally quickly arrest the murderer because of the very rare surname "Guan".
With the solving of this case, the profession of criminal portrait painter officially entered the public eye.
Previously, people did not know much about criminal portraits. The norms and standards for portraits of wanted criminals did not take artistic quality into consideration, so not many people paid attention to them.
However, in this case of Gou Weiping, from the wanted warrants published in newspapers to the cooperation orders posted everywhere, Ji Zhao's works are so artistic and appealing that they make people feel breathless at first sight. Whether one knows Gou Weiping or not, they all have a deep impression in their minds.
No matter who you are, when you see this kind of painting, you can't help but say: "Oh my god! Is this a high-definition photo? It's so well drawn."
When they see Gou Weiping, everyone will open their mouths and eyes wide and say: Damn! They look so similar.
Some studios even kept Ji Zhao's portraits as examples for students to imitate and learn from.
The reporter reprinted Gou Weiping's portrait, with the title: "Heaven's Net" and the caption: The net of heaven is vast and wide, nothing can escape it.
There is also a picture title: "A Glimpse", with a caption: Just a glance in the crowd and you're thrown into jail.
There were even newspapers that publicly solicited entries for prizes, attracting countless readers to submit their works.
For a while, Ning Qingning, a criminal portrait artist from the Xishan District Public Security Bureau, was pushed to the forefront.
Ning Qingning was speechless. Facing the media's praise, he hurriedly explained: It was not drawn by me, it was...
But the leader interrupted him with a smile: Lao Ning, you are too modest. Lao Ning is a rare talent in our system. He works hard and is self-taught. He has made innumerable contributions to the field of criminal investigation and portraiture.
Ning Qingning wanted to say something, but was stopped by Qin Yongbing. After Qin Yongbing whispered a few words into her ear, Ning Qingning sat down obediently and said nothing more.
Qin Yongbing said: "I asked the Hunan Provincial Department, Miao Hui said that Ji Zhao is just a specially appointed expert, not a staff member, and should not be publicized. Ji Zhao himself is also unwilling to show up. You just have to accept this credit."
Ning Qingning was a straightforward person. After claiming the credit for Ji Zhao, she felt guilty and asked blankly, "No position? He is so awesome, then give him a position. How can our Ministry of Public Security let such an outstanding criminal portrait artist go? Is it difficult to give him a position?"
Isn't it said that special cases should be handled specially? Such an outstanding criminal portrait artist, even if he has personality defects and language barriers, should be retained by all means. Not only should he be given a regular position, but also conditions such as high salary and flexible working hours can be negotiated.
Qin Yongbing sighed: "I know that too. I also wanted to recruit Ji Zhao, but Miao Hui refused to give in."
Sun Xiu had a good impression of Zhao Xiangwan and urged, "Captain Qin, dig Zhao Xiangwan here as well. This girl is not only able to communicate with Ji Zhao, but is also calm and generous, and she is also a lucky general. If she hadn't mentioned the small forest, I wouldn't have been able to find the forest near the Xiang'an Road bus station, find Wen Qianyu's schoolbag, narrow the scope of the investigation, and find out his last name is Guan so quickly!"
Fan Wenguang also smiled and said, "Yes, Zhao Xiangwan is indeed a lucky general. I heard from Sun Xiu that it was she who hypnotized Feng Jianlie and made him say that his hair looked like it had just been cut. That's when I thought of tracing the barber shop. How many psychologists in our police force have the ability to hypnotize? Tsk tsk tsk... Talent, if we don't grab such talent, I'm afraid the Hunan Province won't let go."
Qin Yongbing smiled bitterly and said, "Do you think I don't want to? Zhao Xiangwan is a very tight-lipped girl. If I hadn't asked Miao Hui, I wouldn't have known that she was just a sophomore at the Public Security University! She's still studying, how can we dig her out?"
Sun Xiu stood up immediately and said in disbelief: "She is so young? This is too amazing. When I was a sophomore, I only knew how to play basketball all day and didn't know anything else."
Xiao Hai shook his head: "This kid is not something that can be found in a pond. We may not be able to dig him out."
Li Ji said slowly, "We'll talk about whether to dig or not later. Right now we still have some funds in our bureau, so let's apply for a bonus for them. After all, they made this trip, it's not easy."
Ouyang Ding squeezed his eyes and said, "Do you know where they stayed when they were in Kyoto? Four Seasons Hotel! I'm afraid they wouldn't be interested in our small bonus."
Li Ji said: "Don't worry about whether they have money or not, we just need to do what we should do."
After much discussion, everyone came to a conclusion: send the bonus first, build a good relationship, and then think about the rest later. If you encounter a difficult case, you might as well ask Zhao Xiangwan and Ji Zhao to take over and help.
Gou Weiping is arrested. His fingerprints, shoe prints and DNA tests all match. The case has been solved and what awaits him is trial and execution.
Zhao Xiangwan retired after completing her mission and came to say goodbye. Qin Yongbing handed Zhao Xiangwan two envelopes filled with thick bonuses and warmly invited her and Ji Zhao to stay for a few more days to have a good time in Kyoto.
Zhao Xiangwan took the envelope and made a request: "I would like to ask Captain Qin to arrange for me to meet Gou Weiping."
Rao Xiang and Jiang Tinglan both wanted to confront Gou Weiping in person, wanting to know why he had brutalized Wen Qianyu and to hear him say sorry in person. Although the person has passed away, the living people still can't get over it. It seems that only by figuring out what happened that night can they truly let go of the past and live bravely.
This has become their inner obsession.
But they couldn't see him, so they came to beg Zhao Xiangwan. Zhao Xiangwan had been an intern in the serious crime team for a year, and of course he knew that it was still the investigation stage and the victim's family could not see the suspect.
They cannot see him, but Zhao Xiangwan, as an investigator, can see him.
Qin Yongbing glanced at her and said, "Alas! The suspect's attitude is very uncooperative. We have all been very angry recently. Wouldn't it be a waste of time for you to get involved?"
Zhao Xiangwan shook his head: "It is still in the investigation stage. Although all the evidence has been collected, we still need the suspect's confession to understand all the details of the crime. Let me meet Guan Weiping and let him hear what the deceased's family thinks. Let him know that the Wen Qianyu he killed was not just a living life, but she was also a college student with a bright future and the hope of her parents. Maybe it can arouse his conscience and make him plead guilty."
In Zhao Xiangwan's opinion, it would be too easy for such a vicious and cruel criminal to be killed by just shooting.
It is essential to comfort his heart and make him repent.
Qin Yongbing thought about it and nodded: "Okay, I'll arrange it."
That afternoon, Zhao Xiangwan met the murder suspect Gou Weiping through the iron fence.
After being arrested, Gou Weiping actually relaxed a lot. He ate well and slept well, which was better than hiding in the mountains and sleeping in the open air. His face gained some weight.
He knew that he had no way out since he was caught, so he became self-destructive. No matter what the police asked him, he kept silent and was full of rebelliousness, as if he was shouting: If you want to kill me, just kill me. After I die, I will be a good man again in 18 years.
When the police brought him to the interrogation room again, handcuffed him to an iron chair, Gou Weiping lowered his head and closed his eyes, ignoring everything in front of him. In his opinion, interrogation was bullshit, and he would die anyway, so he might as well be single for once.
On the other side of the iron fence, Zhao Xiangwan sat behind a square table. Rao Xiang's old face, whose eyes had been weeping dry, flashed through his mind.
Rao Xiang cried to Zhao Xiangwan: "I waited all day just to see him walk out of the police car in handcuffs. It was that man who killed my child. My child just turned 20 this year. She studied hard to learn skills abroad and planned to come back to work in international trade, but... her life came to an abrupt end just like that."
There was silence in the interrogation room and no one spoke.
Zhao Xiangwan looked at Gou Weiping quietly, and Zhao Chenyang's words flashed through his mind: This man was not arrested until more than 20 years later. He opened a shop and made a lot of money. He got married, had children, and raised two dogs. He had a good reputation in the local area.
A cold light flashed in his eyes, and Zhao Xiangwan pursed his lips. Very good, your life ends here, and you will never have a career, a family, or offspring.
The sound of breathing could be heard. After waiting for a long time with no one asking any questions, Gou Weiping finally lost his patience, raised his head and opened his eyes.
He was a little surprised. In addition to a familiar-looking young policeman, there was also a beautiful young woman sitting opposite him.
Zhao Xiangwan wore a snow-white shirt and a light blue pleated skirt, looking cool and beautiful.
Her style is different from that of Wen Qianyu, whom he killed.
At this moment, Gou Weiping suddenly realized that there were countless beautiful women in this world. He had the opportunity to meet a gentle and beautiful girl, fall in love with her, get married, have two smart and lovely children, listen to them calling him dad, and enjoy the happiness of family life.
But he destroyed all of this by himself.
Wife, son, daughter, family, career...none of these things could exist for a dying man like him.
Gou Weiping finally began to regret it.
This is the moment I've been waiting for!
Zhao Xiangwan slowly opened his mouth: "Is the situation still stable?"
Gou Weiping answered mechanically: "Yes."
Zhao Xiangwan asked him: "Why did you kill Wen Qianyu?"
Gou Weiping did not answer, but turned his head to look out the iron window. There was nothing there, no blue sky, no white clouds, and no birds flying.
【What is this murder? I don’t know why. 】
[I lived to the age of 25 and had never tasted the taste of a woman. After being a bachelor in the army for a few years, I couldn't suppress the urge at all, so I secretly went out to have sex with a prostitute. Damn, it felt so good. It was a pity that I was later reported and caught red-handed, and was expelled from the army.]
[I was fired if I wanted to. A man should be able to survive anywhere. I was too embarrassed to go home, so I decided to go to Kyoto to see what I could do. I found a construction site and worked there for a while, earned a little money, and found two women. Damn, it was too expensive!]
Hearing this, Zhao Xiangwan clenched her fists. The uncontrollable anger in her heart made her breathing quicken involuntarily.
【Kyoto is great, there are beautiful women everywhere, and the prettiest ones are the college students who smile, walk briskly, and hold books as they walk past the construction site. They are educated and well-mannered, they know everything, and they speak as crisply as orioles. Whenever I see them, I feel like bugs are crawling out of my bones, and I feel itchy all over.】
[I was thinking, if I go to a nearby university, maybe I can charm some innocent girls and make a girlfriend?]
[It was raining that day, and the simple shed made me feel uncomfortable, so I took an umbrella and went out. I arrived at the bus stop, looked at the names on the bus stop, found a university name, and got on the bus.]
【Kyoto University of International Business and Economics? This name sounds very high-class. The girls who study here must be rich and noble. The rain was getting heavier. I walked into the school with an umbrella. No one cared who I was. I walked along the quiet road and saw a big building with lights on. That should be where the university students study, right?】
As Gou Weiping's voice flowed, Zhao Xiangwan seemed to see that scene.
【Through the glass window, I could see the classroom clearly. There was a blackboard, a podium, chalk, neatly arranged seats, and a girl wearing headphones sitting quietly by the window. She lowered her head slightly, revealing a snow-white neck, as beautiful as a swan. I looked for a while, but there was no one around her. The heavy rain made everyone hide indoors. I suddenly became brave - the opportunity was right in front of me, why couldn't I give it a try?】
【I saw her get up and pack her bag. I was afraid she would leave, so I hurried into the teaching building. The security room was opposite the entrance, but I saw someone sleeping on the table inside. I guess he didn't know anything. I walked past the security room quietly, turned left into the corridor, and opened the classroom door. 】
[She was standing, carrying her schoolbag and about to leave. We stood face to face, and a flash of panic flashed in her eyes. I smiled and greeted her, asking if we could be friends. She called me a psychopath and walked past me.]
[It was raining heavily outside the window, and the raindrops hitting the window made a loud noise. I saw her snow-white neck, and I could no longer control my inner impulse. I raised my hand and chopped her off with a knife. She fainted and fell softly into my arms.]
[The classroom was too bright, and anyone passing by outside could see what I was doing. So I picked her up and took her to the storage room in the stairwell. I noticed it on the way to the classroom, and it was not locked, so it was hidden and safe.]
【Afterwards, the girl came to her senses and I threw her down with my schoolbag. The books in the bag were so heavy that blood was flowing out of her. I then strangled her neck with both hands until she was no longer breathing, and then I let go. Seeing her dead, I was a little panicked and lost interest. The jacket I was wearing was a new piece of clothing I had just bought recently, and the hem was stained with a lot of blood. I was afraid that I couldn't wash it clean, so I got up and went to the bathroom. Unexpectedly, the security guard saw me, so I had to run away.】
【Halfway through the run, I was soaked through and suddenly came to my senses. If someone found out that I had killed someone tonight, the train station and bus station would be closed, and I wouldn’t be able to escape. So, I turned back, carried the body out and threw it into the sewer, unconsciously holding the bag in my hand, not knowing where to throw it.】
After hearing this, Zhao Xiangwan already understood the entire process of the case.
She clenched her fists, her eyes gleaming coldly: "You know what? Actually, when you stuffed her into the vagina, she wasn't dead, she was just unconscious."
Gou Weiping stared at Zhao Xiangwan blankly: "Impossible, I clearly smashed her to death at that time!"
Zhao Xiangwan's voice was as cold as autumn rain hitting Gou Weiping's face: "The forensic examination results show that she died of drowning."
Gou Weiping let out an "ah" and stared at Zhao Xiangwan blankly.
[Is she not dead? I thought she was dead. Oh! If I had known that she was not dead, why would I have thrown her into the sewer? She was not dead. She was sentenced to rape. She could have been released after a dozen years in prison. I was not old at that time. It was not impossible for me to start over, lower my profile, marry an ordinary woman and spend the rest of my life. Oh! I am smart at one moment and foolish at another. ]
Gou Weiping's voice was a little dry: "I really thought she was dead at that time. It was the first time I did such a thing, and I was still afraid. When I saw her eyelids move, I knew she would wake up. Thinking that she had seen my face, if I let her live, I would definitely go to jail. I haven't lived enough. I just came out of that military camp with strict discipline and strict management. I don't want to go to prison again. I want to make a lot of money and live a good life."
Zhao Xiangwan: "So? Because you are afraid of losing your freedom, you choose to lose your life?"
Gou Weiping was choked by her words and didn't know what to say for a long time.
Yes, just because he was afraid of going to jail, he now has to be shot. This, this, this... The more he thought about it, the more upset he became. Gou Weiping suddenly started to talk more.
"When I threw her into the sewer, I thought she was dead. I didn't really want to kill her. It was just because she was too pretty and too arrogant. It wasn't my fault. Really not me."
I'm not afraid of you talking too much, I'm afraid of you not talking.
I'm not afraid of your sweet words, I'm just afraid that you are determined to die.
Only by giving you hope and then slowly and bit by bit extinguishing the flame of hope, can your repentance be true repentance!
As Zhao Xiangwan began to speak more, his eyes sparkled and he entered a state of high concentration.
"I heard that after you return to Yan County, you plan to buy a store and do building materials business?"
Gou Weiping listened to her chatting with him, and his tense nerves suddenly relaxed: "Yes."
"The country is promoting economic construction. In the future, ordinary people will have to buy houses on the market. Your decision is very far-sighted. In less than five years, you will become a wealthy man in the county. In ten years, you should be able to expand your building materials business to the provincial capital. It is not a dream to have a large family. You will be famous in the Guan family."
After hearing what Zhao Xiangwan said, Gou Weiping straightened his back: "Right? That's what I think. Although the army expelled me, I have been an engineer for so many years and I am not unfamiliar with the construction industry. I have worked on several construction sites in Kyoto for three months. I have seen a lot and learned a lot. I am confident that I will become a rich man in the future."
Zhao Xiangwan nodded: "That's true. In our lives, as long as we have the right direction and work hard, we will definitely have good results. You are a smart person, good at observation, courageous, charming, and daring. Our Captain Qin once said that talents like you, no matter what industry you are in, as long as you are willing to work hard, you will definitely be able to stand out."
Gou Weiping smiled and his eyes sparkled. "Right? I think so too. I was one of the people in my town who had served in the army. After they were demobilized, they were assigned to county government units and had public jobs. I was not good at studying, so I thought about joining the army before I graduated from high school. I was in good health and well-educated, so I became an engineer in the army. I had the opportunity to enter the military academy and become an officer, but I couldn't stand the loneliness, violated the army's discipline, and was expelled."
When talking about the past, Gou Weiping seemed to be talking endlessly.
Zhao Xiangwan asked at the right moment: "And then?"
The past is like the wind. Gou Weiping shook his head with a little melancholy: "I was fired. Where is my future? In fact, I was still very upset at that time. I was too embarrassed to go home, so I came to Kyoto to find a way for the future."
Zhao Xiangwan said, "You have a good eye. Going into the building materials business is a very good choice. I have a friend who is engaged in real estate development. He made more than 8 million yuan when he just started. This business is really profitable."
Gou Weiping's eyes lit up: "Eight million?! This business really makes money!"
[As long as I have money, I can find any woman I want. Pure, seductive, cultured, and romantic, I can choose whatever I want.]
Zhao Xiangwan raised his eyebrows slightly. This guy has always been thinking about women.
Zhao Xiangwan said, "As long as you continue along this path, with your ability, making money will not be a problem at all. Are the women in the town pretty? There must be a lot of people who like you, right?"
Qin Yongbing pushed open the door of the interrogation room, and Sun Xiu, who was in charge of taking notes, stood up. Qin Yongbing motioned him to sit down, and he stood aside to listen and see what Zhao Xiangwan wanted to ask.
I didn't expect to hear this sentence as soon as I came in, "Are the women in the town pretty?" Qin Yongbing couldn't help but look at this girl with beautiful eyes and eyebrows. Young people nowadays are really interesting. What methods do they use to interrogate murderers?
Gou Weiping didn't notice anyone coming in. His mind was distracted by Zhao Xiangwan's words: "I just got home and someone came to my mother to ask about a blind date. The women in our town may not be as knowledgeable as those in Kyoto, but they are simple and gentle. I walked around the town that day and saw several beautiful women."
Zhao Xiangwan said: "Yes, find a sensible and gentle wife, give birth to two obedient children, and then make money..."
Gou Weiping took over her words and began to imagine the future: "I'll find two more beautiful lovers, go to some romantic places, spend a lot of money, and have any woman I want."
Zhao Xiangwan suddenly shut his mouth and raised his eyes to meet Gou Weiping's.
Gou Weiping was just thinking happily, but suddenly Zhao Xiangwan stopped talking. This made him feel as if he was being woken up in the middle of taking a shit. His face suddenly turned ugly, and he urged: "Why don't you talk?"
Zhao Xiangwan's eyes were like lightning, staring at Gou Weiping closely, with a blazing fire burning in his eyes, burning Gou Weiping so much that he suddenly became at a loss: "What's wrong with me?"
[Did I say something wrong? I was just reminiscing about the past and looking forward to the future. That's right.]
【Why is she looking at me like that? What did I do wrong? 】
[Oh, by the way, I killed someone...]
Zhao Xiangwan continued to wait.
[I killed someone, I was arrested, and it all became a dream.]
[Making money, having a wife, children, or a beautiful lover, all of these are just thoughts.]
If the regret just now was just a flash of thought, the regret now is real and profound. Zhao Xiangwan listened carefully and encouraged him gently about his past, participated in his future decisions and praised him sincerely, and was more positive than he was about his beautiful future, describing an incomparably beautiful picture.
It was as if time had suddenly fast-forwarded, the murder episode was forgotten, and Gou Weiping had already started a successful business, had a happy family, a red flag flying high in the house, and colorful flags fluttering outside the house...
The picture is so beautiful, but the power button is suddenly pressed. No matter who you are, you will feel uncomfortable.
Gou Weiping's hands began to tremble, causing his shoulders to twitch. A sharp pain came from his heart, stabbing him and causing his entire body to tremble.
I’ll kill you while you’re sick!
Zhao Xiangwan finally spoke.
Her voice was as cold as iron and hard as ice, as if a sharp knife was cutting into Gou Weiping's heart, which was already aching with regret and remorse.
"What a pity, everything no longer exists."
"If you hadn't killed someone on impulse, you might have bought a store in town and started going on blind dates arranged by your parents."
"When you meet a girl you like, she has a rosy face and may not be elegant enough, but she adores you and likes you. She feels happy when she walks down the street with your arm in hers. In her heart, you are tall, mighty, capable, and responsible, a man worthy of entrusting her life to. In her heart and eyes, there is only you. She will kiss you tenderly and dedicate everything to you."
"This girl has a beautiful body that matches yours perfectly. When you two get married, you will feel like the happiest man in the world because she loves you, she desires you, she praises you, and she says you are the best man in the world."
Gou Weiping was in so much pain that he couldn't breathe. He could have really had all of this!
"A year later, your eldest son was born. When you looked at the baby in the cradle, with a face that looked just like yours, you felt that it was all worth it."
"Your business is growing bigger and bigger, and you have more friends. The Guan family is proud of you. Whenever there is a festival or celebration, they will definitely invite you to sit at the front table."
"You have become a star in your business, you have appeared on TV, you have had many women, but you still love your wife the most. She takes care of the housework at home, gave birth to another daughter for you, helps you raise your parents, and takes care of everything at home and outside. Although her face is frosted,
There is only you in her eyes. She thinks you are her heaven and her whole world."
The veins on Guan Weiping's forehead were exposed. He suddenly raised his chin and pounded the armrests of the iron chair with his hands like a madman, shouting, "Stop talking! I beg you, stop talking!"
Zhao Xiangwan sneered: "Is it beautiful? What a pity, none of this belongs to you."
“Ahhh—”
Gou Weiping began to wail. He wanted to reach out his hands to take back everything that originally belonged to him, but... his hands were bound tightly to the iron chair, and the handcuffs hit the chair with a loud noise.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Every sound seemed to hit his heart hard.
The pain is unbearable.
Time can't be brought back, what's lost is lost forever!
Zhao Xiangwan took out Wen Qianyu's photo, held it high, and faced Gou Weiping.
"Open your eyes and take a good look! This is the person you killed. Her name is Wen Qian Yu!"
There was a dignified righteousness in Zhao Xiangwan's voice, which made Gou Weiping feel panicked and forced him to look up at the photo.
This is an artistic photo taken when Wen Qianyu was 18 years old. Rao Xiang is sitting, smiling tenderly, while Wen Qianyu is standing, with her hands on her mother's shoulders. The mother and daughter are leaning on each other, full of happiness.
"Did you see that? She was born by a father and raised by a mother, so she should have a bright future!"
"You want to open a building materials store and make money while the city is undergoing massive construction; she wants to study abroad and learn professional knowledge about international trade so that she can do business with foreigners and make money from them in the future."
"You have dreams, and so does she! You want to find a woman who loves you, marry her, have two children, and become the glory of the Guan family; she also wants to be together for the rest of her life, have a beautiful baby, and become the pride of her parents."
It was as if a sharp arrow pierced his chest, and Gou Weiping finally felt guilty.
When I killed someone before, I only wanted to satisfy my momentary pleasure. I just wanted to rape her and not let her find out or call the police afterwards, so as not to let her ruin her life.
But he never thought that it was also a living life.
Her name is Wen Qianyu? It's a really nice name.
Her mother, in the photo, looked very well-maintained, gentle and kind. But what I saw at the gate of the Public Security Bureau that day was an old woman with a haggard face and completely white hair. Was she sad because her daughter died? It was raining hard at the time. The old woman didn't bring an umbrella, so her hair was wet, and I seemed to hear her cursing. What was she cursing about?
Gou Weiping tried hard to recall in his mind, it seemed like he was scolding him to die a miserable death?
Without her curse, could he still be alive? He killed someone, dumped the body into the sewer, and escaped. Could he still be alive?
Zhao Xiangwan continued to stab him in the heart: "Wen Qianyu originally planned to go back to the dormitory with her roommates. The reason she stayed in the study room was because she had not finished a set of listening test papers. Isn't such a hardworking and goal-oriented person very similar to you? Originally, you and she would have become the best in society, but you ruined everything."
“Ahhh, wuwuwu…”
Gao Weiping burst into tears, his sobbing voice sobbing.
All the police officers in the interrogation room looked disdainful: What's the point of crying now? What were you doing before?
Zhao Xiangwan finally stood up, walked to the iron fence, shortened the distance between him and Gou Weiping, held up the photo high, and spoke with deep emotion in every word.
"You should have a successful family and career, and a bright future with everyone praising you."
"Originally, Wen Qianyu should have studied and laughed with girls of the same age."
"Your parents should be proud of you."
"Wen Qianyu's parents should be proud of their daughter."
"But all this, all this beauty, has been destroyed by you!"
"There is only this part of your life, and you can never go back."
"You shameless murderer, go to hell and repent!"
The sharp pain in the heart kept reminding Gou Weiping not to listen anymore, not to think about it anymore, what was done was done, there was no way to regret it.
But Zhao Xiangwan's voice seemed to carry a cold murderous intent, forcing him to look up and look at the photo.
With tears in his eyes, Gou Weiping seemed to have returned to that rainy night.
What if he just admires the students studying hard on the university campus from a distance and doesn't get close to them?
If he opened the door and saw Wen Qianyu, should he say a few polite words to her and not get angry even if she rejected him?
If he saw that beautiful figure and smelled the girl's fragrance, would he be able to suppress the impulse that was clamoring in his body?
Maybe, everything will be different.
He will open a small shop in Yan County.
Wen Qianyu will continue studying and studying on her own at university.
He will meet a nice girl through a blind date.
Wen Qianyu will have a love affair on campus.
Originally, these are two life lines that will never intersect, why do you have to commit a crime?
Gou Weiping lowered his head, hunched his shoulders, and buried his face in his hands, which he could not raise because of the handcuffs, and murmured, "I plead guilty, I plead guilty..."
Zhao Xiangwan looked at Sun Xiu, who was in charge of taking notes, and said, "I'll leave the rest to you."
Having said that, she turned and left.
Although the murderer was caught and confessed, the people he killed will never come back to life.
White shirt and blue skirt.
Just like a lotus in full bloom, exuding a lingering fragrance in the cool air.
Walking out of the gate of Xishan District Public Security Bureau, Zhao Xiangwan saw Rao Xiang waiting at the door. He finally found a place to put the sadness in his heart. He stretched out his arms to hug her and whispered, "I will help you, help Wen Qianyu vent her anger."
Rao Xiang hugged Zhao Xiangwan tightly: "Thank you, thank you, you are a good girl."
Jiang Tinglan burst into tears: "Xiang Wan, thank you."
The schoolbag was found, and Jiang Tinglan finally understood why Wen Qianyu suddenly wanted to go home on Saturday night. Because she said she was cold, and thinking that she only had one coat, Wen Qianyu planned to go home and find two old clothes for Jiang Tinglan.
Wen Qianyu was afraid that she would forget, so she wrote a line of words next to the English listening test paper.
——Remember to bring Tinglan's coat.
Zhao Xiangwan quickly adjusted her emotions and said to Rao Xiang, "No life can be repeated. Auntie, do you want to live this life in sorrow, or fulfill Wen Qianyu's dream on her behalf?"
Rao Xiang stared at Zhao Xiangwan blankly: "Qianqian wants to study abroad and work in foreign trade."
Zhao Xiangwan said, "You are only forty-five years old." If a person can live to eighty, Rao Xiang still has thirty-five years.
Rao Xiang's eyes suddenly shone with an extremely bright light: "Can I? Can I really do it?"
Zhao Xiangwan nodded: "As long as you want, everything is in time."
Rao Xiang's state of despair finally changed, and he began to think about this possibility. Zhao Xiangwan heard her thoughts, smiled, straightened up, and looked at Jiang Tinglan.
Jiang Tinglan seemed to understand something, and she straightened her back and said with tears in her eyes, "Don't worry, Xiangwan." Jiang Tinglan did not say the rest.
Some things are more powerful if kept in mind than spoken out.
Leaving Kyoto with Ji Zhao, sitting in the sleeper car of the train, looking at the telephone poles moving backwards outside the window, Zhao Xiangwan's heavy heart became relaxed.
An unsolved case that would have taken more than 20 years to be solved was quickly solved due to the intervention of himself and Ji Zhao.
Gou Weiping will not have a chance to enjoy life, he will be punished by law.
Wen Qianyu's mother would not have waited for more than 20 years for justice. She would have let go of her hatred and lived a good life.
As soon as Zhao Xiangwan and Ji Zhao got off the train, they were taken to the serious crime team by Xu Songling. As soon as they entered the office, they were warmly welcomed by everyone.
"The hero returns!"
"It brings honor to our Hunan Provincial Public Security Chief."
"The Ministry of Public Security has heard about Ji Zhao's ability to paint portraits. Director Xu's phone is about to explode!"
"Ha ha ha ha--"
The laughter and cheers were about to blow the roof off.
Returning to the familiar environment and seeing the familiar smiling faces, Zhao Xiangwan felt warm in his heart and said, "Don't worry, the Kyoto police can't poach me and Ji Zhao."
Xu Songling was waiting for this sentence, and laughed: "Not bad, not bad, I said it, how could Qin Yongbing dig up the apprentice I cultivated with great difficulty just by opening his mouth?"
A childish voice sounded at the side: "Great!"
Zhao Xiangwan quickly turned his head and saw a three-year-old little girl with a flowery hairstyle, big eyes, and a pink mouth. When she spoke, her two rabbit teeth were exposed. She was so cute.
Zhao Xiangwan was a little surprised and looked at Liu Liangju: "Senior Brother Liu, is this your Liu Lizi?"
Liu Liangju picked up the cute little girl and smiled until his eyes narrowed into a line: "Isn't it my baby Liu Lizi? Come, say hello to Sister Zhao."
Liu Lizi leaned in her father's arms, grinned, and waved to Zhao Xiangwan: "Hello, Sister Zhao."
Zhao Xiangwan smiled and joked: "Your father is my senior brother, you have to call me aunt."
Liu Lizi twisted her waist and said, "It's my sister!"
Zhao Xiangwan took out a candied haws from her bag, unwrapped it and handed it to her: "Good girl, I'll treat you to a candied haws."
Kyoto's Tanghulu is a specialty. Zhao Xiangwan likes the small-packaged ones, so he bought a big bag to give as gifts. A toothpick strung two hawthorns in candied sugar, bright red, juicy, sour and sweet, very delicious.
As soon as Liu Lizi saw the candied haws, he immediately smiled with his eyes narrowed and held them in his mouth happily.
Zhao Xiangwan asked casually, "Senior Brother Liu, why did you bring Li Zi to work today? Don't you usually send him to kindergarten?"
Unexpectedly, this question brought out Liu Liangju's deepest thoughts.
"Hey, isn't my wife a teacher at Santai Road Primary School? Usually, she sends Liu Lizi to the nearby Santai Road Kindergarten. This time, a murder occurred in the dormitory building of Santai Road Primary School. The school was suspended for a day and all teachers were questioned. No one was taking care of Liu Lizi, so I had to bring her back."
Zhao Xiangwan asked: "If elementary schools are closed, kindergartens should open."
Liu Liangju sighed: "The child of the family where the murder occurred also attends the Santai Road kindergarten. The Santai Road police station has filed a case and the kindergarten teacher is also under investigation. I was afraid that no one would take care of Li Zi, so I brought her here."
Zhao Xiangwan said "Oh".
After hearing about the murder, the others became interested: "Brother Liu, come on, tell us about it."
He Mingyu rolled his eyes at them and said, "Are you workaholics? You all get all worked up when you hear about a murder case. We have a rare moment of leisure today, so we mainly want to welcome Xiang Wan and Ji Zhao, welcome them, clean up the mess, and celebrate their success. Let's not discuss the case at this time, okay?"
Liu Liangju laughed when he heard this: "Yes, yes, I shouldn't have said these things. Anyway, the case is now taken over by the Santai Road Police Station. It's not my responsibility, so I can relax. Today, let's celebrate for Junior Sister Xiang Wan!"
Zhao Xiangwan waved his hands and said, "It's nothing. The main reason this time is that Ji Zhao showed up. With his portrait, everything becomes much easier when looking for clues and finding people. The Xishan District Public Security Bureau is also generous. They put a reward of 10,000 in the newspaper and posted tens of thousands of copies of the portrait. Gou Weiping's portrait can be recognized at a glance. Wherever he goes, there are crowds of eyes staring at him. The human wave tactic works."
As he was introducing his experience of the trip to Kyoto, someone knocked on the door and came in. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Xu Songling: "Director Xu, there was a murder on Santai Road. Please ask for support from the police station."
Everyone's eyes were focused on Liu Liangju's face.
