Chapter 240 Chapter 240 Amen, may you bless me, this is too scary...
Although the cave was cleaned every time, some tissues that were difficult to completely eliminate after burning seeped deep into the soil.
Seeing the traces that were so charred that their original appearance could not be seen, everyone was shocked. They couldn't imagine how the group of glamorous-looking women outside could be so cruel to harm these young children.
Qiu Jiang felt relieved after seeing the traces they had extracted.
As long as they can be convicted, everything is fine.
She was relieved, but she didn't know that Deng Xingwang was almost angry to death.
"If you hadn't told us ahead of time that you were planning to expose yourself to elicit their confessions, I would have rushed in and beat them up when I heard someone hitting you."
Deng Xingwang poured her water to wash her face while he was angry.
Obviously he was really angry.
"But Captain Ji was the one who was so angry that his hands were cracking." He quietly leaned in front of her and said to her.
Qiu Jiang was holding water in her hands, preparing to wash her face. When she heard the words, she paused for a second and looked into the distance to see the person in charge arguing with the leaders who had rushed over, the families of the people who had been arrested, and the media who happened to be there.
Although he has a very sour face, he is able to calm the situation.
This is what the person she likes should be like.
The corners of her lips curled up slightly as she splashed water on her face and rubbed it, mumbling, "I'm just worried that all the evidence at the scene will be cleared, so I thought it would be good to get more confessions."
Who knew that the woman would just start beating people up as if her secrets were exposed.
But she retaliated on the spot.
The itching powder was first thrown at the person who hit her. She had smeared itching powder on her face and hands just in case, so when the person hit her, she was hit the first time.
When I saw her being escorted out just now, her hands were covered with red marks from scratching herself, some of which were even bleeding.
Even if there is a grudge, it is now settled.
But these people have not yet paid off their debts to those little girls.
The thought that they burned girls just for those vague wishes made her feel absurd and disgusted.
I can't understand why some of them are high-level intellectuals and could believe such unrealistic words. They were actually instigated by a few words and thought that the fictitious evil god could help them realize their wishes of having their husbands love them more, becoming more beautiful and richer, and having more sons.
It's really shocking. I can't believe that such an outrageous thing can be true.
Deng Xingwang also sighed, "Who says it's not true? I just heard that most of the families here are well-off. Some of them may not have much money, but they've hooked up with rich men, so they probably have quite a bit of money. Their lives are far better than those of ordinary people. I can't believe they have anything to be dissatisfied with."
"Greed is like a snake swallowing an elephant. In the end, it is greed that harms people."
A familiar cold voice sounded.
Qiu Jiang and Deng Xingwang looked together.
The ones who came were Pi Lu, who had been acting as their makeup artist today, and her girlfriend Lu Yuexin.
Seeing her look up, Pi Lu sighed helplessly, "How can you clean your face like this?"
She took out makeup remover wipes and makeup remover water from her bag and gently removed her makeup.
Qiu Jiang stood obediently and let the cool liquid paint on her face. Only after her face was wiped three times was Pi Lu allowed her to rinse it with water again.
Deng Xingwang hurriedly continued pouring water.
She washed her face again and finally felt that the pores on her face had opened up and she felt quite comfortable.
Only then did she finally have time to ask what she meant by what she had just said.
But Pi Lu looked at Lu Yuexin.
At this time, Qiu Jiang keenly noticed that Lu Yuexin's mood was a little abnormal.
She suddenly had a guess.
“Could it be…”
Lu Yuexin frowned, with many complicated emotions flashing in her eyes. She was silent for two minutes before she spoke.
"One of the people you arrested is someone I know. She was my college classmate. We were very close back then. Later, I went abroad to study, and she stayed in Hong Kong. When I came back, I heard she was the mistress of a man older than her father. I don't understand why she did that, but she said she didn't want to live the hardship she had before, and that man was very kind to her."
"I couldn't persuade her. Later, due to some things, we rarely saw each other. When we met again, I saw marks of beatings all over her body. I asked her if she was bullied, and she said it was all her fault for not giving birth to a son because she was pregnant with daughters. She deserved the beatings. Later, she got pregnant again..."
She paused here, her brows furrowed even more.
Qiu Jiang asked tentatively, "This time it's a son..."
Lu Yuexin still couldn't continue, and finally Pi Lu couldn't help but sneered first, "Yes, he is a son, but he is someone else's son."
Qiu Jiang: "..."
Was she switched, or did she give birth to a child with someone else?
Not only her, but several other policemen who were listening also pricked up their ears curiously.
Seeing that Pi Lu was still angry, Lu Yuexin pulled her back and said, "Alu, let me talk."
Qiu Jiang's eyes moved between the two of them, and she always felt that there was something else going on.
"Aling finally had a son, but he was not hers. She then gave birth to a daughter, but she died shortly after birth. The color of her body was strange, as if she had eaten something unclean. I was afraid that Aling couldn't bear it, but the person who was with her in the hospital at the time switched the son of another woman who had given birth that day with the stillborn. I happened to see it, and I tried to stop them. However, the woman said she was a distant relative of Aling and that her daughter shouldn't have gotten pregnant out of wedlock. Now that Aling had given birth to a stillborn baby and wanted a boy so much, she thought it would be better to switch the two children. This would give Aling her wish, and also give my grandson, who should have been thrown away, a good place to go."
"I couldn't accept this ridiculous behavior, so I tried to stop them. But when Aling woke up and heard she had given birth to a son, she was ecstatic. When she found out I didn't want the child to see her, she went crazy and yelled at me, saying I was jealous and couldn't stand her doing well. Aloo happened to hear it and scolded her. She also dragged me away and told me not to get involved in this matter anymore."
"I was young and impulsive at the time, and I thought A-Lu couldn't tell right from wrong, so we had a big argument. Later, my parents instigated it, thinking she was angry and abandoned me, which is why we were apart for so long."
This incident had always been a thorn in her heart until she met Pilu again in Anxi, when the two resolved the misunderstanding.
Also because they were dissatisfied with their parents secretly finding Pilu to threaten her, the two of them have been staying in the mainland for the past year.
It was not until their cousin Lu Jianian brought the news that their father was not in good health, and that he knew his mistake and would not hinder them anymore, that the two of them returned to Hong Kong recently.
Who would have thought that something like this would happen just after I arrived at the banquet?
After this was said, Qiu Jiang finally guessed how Sister Hong was trying to trick these people.
"Are you guessing that Sister Hong is using this method to fulfill their wishes, making them believe in the effectiveness of the sacrifice, and then using their participation in the ritual of burning people as a handle to blackmail them?"
Ji Mingcheng, who had managed to stabilize the situation temporarily, summarized it this way after hearing her words.
Qiu Jiang nodded. "Yes, I think we can search for evidence from this angle. After all, with so many people involved, she can't possibly do everything perfectly."
"I understand. I'll immediately have someone investigate based on this clue."
"That's good."
After saying this, Qiu Jiang still had something to say, "Whether it's Sister Hong, these women who believe in cults, or those parents who sacrificed their daughters, it's really disgusting. Those children were so young, and they were burned to death because of their evil thoughts..."
Qiu Jiang knew that people's hearts were sometimes dark and terrifying, but she didn't know how parents could bear to kill their other daughter for the sake of a son.
Even though she had seen many cases of favoring boys over girls in so many cases, it was rare to see such cruel and brutal means.
Especially after seeing the whole process of the girl being burned to death, she felt a wave of complete despair sweeping over her whole body.
And how terrified must the little girls be who couldn't even escape and were eventually burned to death by the scorching flames.
As soon as she closed her eyes, the scenes of weak figures unable to escape from the flames echoed before her eyes, and she felt a little cold all over.
Ji Mingcheng understood her pain and sadness and hugged her gently.
"At the very least, we will give them an explanation and make sure those who harmed them face justice."
Qiu Jiang leaned against his chest to digest the surging emotions. After a long moment, she suddenly emerged from his embrace and looked up at him. "So, Captain Ji, you have to handle this case beautifully, or I won't agree."
She tilted her head slightly, as if asking him for a definite answer.
Ji Mingcheng solemnly promised, "Absolutely."
She finally smiled and breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, Ren Wu, who had gone with others to look for Sister Li and the other person who were hiding in a warehouse, finally arrived.
"Captain, we've found the person. He's only slightly injured, but he's in good spirits. He's been taken to the hospital by ambulance."
"That's good."
Qiu Jiang calmed herself down, cheered herself up and patted him on the shoulder, "Well done, you are worthy of being an elite of our Peng City."
"I...an elite!" Ren Wu's eyes lit up and he laughed without any restraint.
"Yes, you were able to work together with others to complete the task even though you were unfamiliar with the place. That's really amazing."
After becoming the captain, Qiu Jiang adhered to the principle of beating when necessary and praising when necessary, absolutely maximizing the emotional value.
No matter what others think, she thinks the effect is very good. Everyone is much more motivated to work and solve the case. Even though her mood is up and down at this time, she has not forgotten what the captain should do.
She has become a qualified captain who can stand on her own in a place where he can't see.
When Ji Mingcheng saw the interaction between them, he felt a surge of pride in his heart.
It’s a pity that I couldn’t witness it with my own eyes, which is a bit regrettable.
However, when all the things came up next, he quickly pulled himself out of his personal emotions and worked hard to be the impartial and decisive Inspector Ji.
As participants in the case, Qiu Jiang and the other two naturally had to go to the Xiangjiang Police Station to give their statements.
Obviously, Ji Mingcheng had made arrangements in advance. He only said that they came to Hong Kong for tourism and accidentally discovered the crime. In the end, they were good mainland colleagues who were willing to risk their lives to help the Hong Kong police solve the case.
It was normal for the people in Group 5 to listen to him, but this time even the mobile forces nodded repeatedly, believing him without a doubt.
One of the reasons was that they were temporarily transferred here today and did not understand the process of solving the case or the roles played by Qiu Jiang and others. Another reason was that they suspected that she was a wizard and it was best not to offend her easily.
Besides, they did help them solve the case, so it’s better to have less trouble than more, so they just believe whatever they say.
After all, they definitely don't want that itch that makes them want to die to come back to them.
It's so scary.
Amen.
