Chapter 17: Not only did the interrogation fail to clear her name, you also resented...
When Secretary Liao knocked on the door and entered the office, Captain Song was sitting at the table. He looked up and said, "Captain, I brought Xiao Shen here."
Captain Song hummed and said, "Okay, go out and do your work first."
Secretary Liao said "OK" and turned to leave. Shen Qingye walked in, closed the door, and stood in front of the desk: "Team Leader, you're looking for me."
Song Lianfeng put down the pen in his hand, looked up at her, and after a while, he sighed, stood up, and walked around the office without saying a word.
Shen Qingye's eyelashes were half drooped, and his expression remained unchanged.
After a long while, Song Lianfeng stopped, looked at her, and said, "I didn't sleep well last night."
Shen Qingye raised his eyes.
Song Lianfeng put his hands behind his back and walked unsteadily, saying, "I was wondering, did I see it wrong, or did they just send you home? It has nothing to do with the case? But then I thought, although I am old, I am not so old that my eyesight is blurry."
After hearing this, how could Shen Qingye not understand what was going on? Before getting on the bus yesterday afternoon, she heard someone calling her and it was not an illusion.
Her lips moved, and she spoke hesitantly: "Detachment..."
Song Lianfeng stopped, stood in front of her, and asked, "Xiao Shen, what did you tell me the day before yesterday? You said you knew it, and I believed you, but... is this how you know it?"
Shen Qingye opened his mouth and said, "Team Leader, I know the suspect has been arrested and he shouldn't be in danger, so I went..."
Song Lianfeng couldn't help but raise his voice a little: "You also said that he was a suspect, and you also said it should be!"
"What if that person is not the murderer? What if the real murderer is still guarding there? What if he is in danger?"
Shen Qingye argued: "We have already obtained sufficient evidence. The chance that the murderer is out there is very small—"
"But it's not impossible!" Song Lianfeng interrupted her: "During the investigation, any situation may occur. Danger is always unknown. If you can know it in advance, it is not dangerous!"
Song Lianfeng took a deep breath and said, "Xiao Shen, you should know what I am talking about and what I mean."
Shen Qingye's eyelashes trembled, and she wanted to say that she knew, but her lips felt dry and she couldn't open her mouth.
Song Lianfeng said earnestly, "Old Gao said that you have a calm personality and don't make people worry, and I believed it. But how can I explain to Old Gao about your current situation?"
Shen Qingye said softly: "I will tell Uncle Gao myself."
Song Lianfeng's eyes widened: "From what you said, there will be a next time, right?"
Shen Qingye stopped talking.
She couldn't make any promises.
The girl is tall and slender, and the way she lowers her head is really something that makes people feel soft-hearted.
Song Lianfeng was silent for a long time, and finally couldn't bear to say anything, so he slowed down his tone and said, "Xiao Shen, it's not that we don't agree with you doing this job, but you are a smart kid, you should know your own identity and the current situation."
He took two steps forward and said, "Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about your mother and your uncle Gao."
"They can't afford any more accidents."
Shen Qingye pursed her lips and her face turned a little pale.
-
Interrogation room.
Cai Chengyong was brought out early in the morning and stayed in the dark room for a long time before he finally heard some noise coming from outside the door. Looking up, I saw three tall men walking in one after another.
He curled his lips and said, "Comrade police, do you want to leave me alone for another day?"
Yue Lingchuan was obviously in a good mood. After sitting down, he smiled and said to him, "No, we are here now."
Cai Chengyong lazily leaned back in his chair, tilting his head: "Why did you bring me here so early in the morning? Haven't I explained everything I could? Police comrade, there's no point in wasting your breath on me, right?"
Yue Lingchuan retorted: "Hey, why is it meaningless?"
He tapped the thick stack of documents on the desk and said, "Thanks to you, our entire team was busy for two days and finally had a good sleep last night."
Cai Chengyong's eyelids twitched, his eyes flashed across the stack of white documents, and he said immediately, "Really? I didn't sleep well last night. The bed in your detention room is too hard."
Wei Zhengyi couldn't help but say, "It's a little hard, but at least it's still usable, don't despise it. In the future, maybe you won't even be able to sleep on this kind of bed."
Cai Chengyong sneered, "Police comrade, don't scare me. I won't admit to something I haven't done, and don't even think about prying anything out of me."
"You're saying it as if we were forced to confess under torture." Yue Lingchuan said with a smile, "We live in a society ruled by law now, and we also believe in handling cases according to the law. We would never dare to use the old society's methods."
He leaned lazily on the back of the chair: "Don't worry, since you haven't done anything, let's just chat. Aren't you bored staying in that detention room alone?"
Cai Chengyong smiled: "It doesn't matter to me. I can be anywhere as long as I don't waste the time of the police officers. Your time is so precious. I want to get rid of harm for the people, right?"
Wei Zhengyi nodded: "It is indeed precious, but don't worry, there is still time to talk for a while."
Cai Chengyong's handcuffed hands slumped. "That doesn't matter. Officers, whatever you want to talk about, I'll accompany you to the end."
Yue Lingchuan seemed confused and thought for a while, then said, "Then let's... talk about things related to love. Hey, you are 23 years old this year, aren't you married yet?"
Cai Chengyong was stunned for a moment. He obviously hadn't thought that he would ask this question. Even if he was smart, he was a little confused at the moment. He could only say: "Officer, what's wrong with 23? The national law stipulates that we can't not get married?"
"No, how can that be possible." Yue Lingchuan said, "I'm just curious. If you don't get married, won't your father urge you? Isn't the old man anxious to have a grandchild?"
Cai Chengyong frowned and said, "It's none of your business whether I urge you or not, police comrade. What do you want to ask? Can you just say it directly?"
Yue Lingchuan shook his head: "Look at your bad temper. We have already said it, just chat casually." He then said: "It's really good that your father doesn't urge me. It's not the same in my family. My family members urge me a lot, especially my mother. During the Chinese New Year, she told me that if I don't bring a wife back this year, I won't be allowed to enter the house. It's annoying, really annoying."
Cai Chengyong was completely confused. What a mess. Before he could say anything, Yue Lingchuan asked again: "Hey, if you're not married, have you ever been in a relationship?"
He looked curious and gossipy. Cai Chengyong couldn't figure out what he was thinking. He could only speak irritably: "No, no, I said no. It's not your case. What does it have to do with whether I'm in a relationship or not?"
Yue Lingchuan didn't seem to hear what he said next, and just asked: "You really haven't talked about it?"
Cai Chengyong slammed the handcuffs: "Are you done yet——"
"So you and Zhang Cuimei are just in a physical relationship?"
Cai Chengyong opened his mouth to say something, but his head suddenly buzzed and he calmed down instantly.
He squinted his eyes and looked at Yue Lingchuan. His body slowly relaxed. He was no longer as irritable and impatient as before. He grinned and said, "Comrade police officer, what did you say? Zhang Cuimei? Who is that?"
Yue Lingchuan raised his eyebrows: "Don't know him?"
Cai Chengyong shrugged: "I haven't heard of it."
"Tsk, so heartless, after all, I have been with you for such a long time." Yue Lingchuan stared at his face without blinking. Cai Chengyong's eyes flickered slightly and said, "Comrade police, I know you are anxious, but you can't put all the blame on me, right? I just don't know her."
Yue Lingchuan chuckled and said, "Then why did someone see you enter Zhang Cuimei's yard at night? And why did we find male hair on the bed in Zhang Cuimei's bedroom and extract your DNA from it?"
Yue Lingchuan picked up a report and tapped it at him: "Do you want to see the test results? See if we are putting the blame on you?"
Cai Chengyong's jaw tightened slightly, and his eyes swept over the report. Jiang Cheng stood up and put it on the table of the interrogation chair: "Take a good look at it."
Cai Chengyong stared at him fiercely, but Jiang Cheng didn't care and turned around and returned to his seat.
Cai Chengyong then lowered his eyes and looked at the black words on the white paper.
After a moment, his Adam's apple couldn't help but move.
Yue Lingchuan crossed his fingers: "Do you have anything to say?"
Cai Chengyong lowered his head, his hair covering his facial features, making it impossible to see his expression. After a long while, he raised his head, his expression as usual: "Okay, I admit that Zhang Cuimei and I were together for a while."
He raised his chin slightly and said in a very natural way, "Her husband died. I'm not married. What's wrong with having sex with him? I didn't do it. Police comrade, it's a matter between us, so it's none of your business, right?"
Yue Lingchuan: "Are you admitting it now? Didn't you just say you didn't know him?"
Cai Chengyong said confidently: "This has nothing to do with your case, and it's not something glorious. I don't want to talk about it, is that okay?"
Yue Lingchuan nodded: "Okay, why not? You have the final say on what you want to say and what you don't want to say." He then said: "But who told you that this matter has nothing to do with our case?"
Cai Chengyong looked at him, and Yue Lingchuan smiled warmly, picking up another report: "This is the DNA we extracted from Zhang Cuimei's hair, and matched it with the body of the first victim. The results show that they are the same person."
"In addition, we also found a lot of bloodstains on the walls and floor of Zhang Cuimei's kitchen. After identification, these bloodstains undoubtedly belonged to the victims."
Yue Lingchuan stared at him intently: "Cai Chengyong, now that things have come to this, the evidence is irrefutable, do you still want to quibble?"
-
At the same time, in another interrogation room.
Zhou Qiming knocked on the table with a sullen face: "Cai Limin, I advise you to tell the truth and stop this meaningless resistance."
Cai Limin raised his eyelids, looking a dozen years older than when he first came in. He said, "I don't know. Police comrade, if it's mine, I recognize it; but if it's not mine, I don't know."
Luo Kaiyang pointed silently at the document: "I still say that, our police have enough evidence, even if you don't say anything, we can convict Cai Chengyong. What's the point of you resisting here?"
Cai Limin closed his eyes: "I don't understand."
Zhou Qiming looked at him for a long while, then suddenly laughed: "Cai Limin, you are so protective of your son, what do you think he would do if he knew that you killed his mother?"
Cai Limin's hands on the table trembled slightly, and in the end he said the same thing: "I did it, I admit it."
Zhou Qiming nodded: "Okay, you know, then I'll tell you something you don't know."
He leaned forward and said, "Have you heard of the twenty-year statute of limitations?"
Cai Liming lifted his drooping eyelids and looked at him.
Zhou Qiming explained: "What this means is that if you kill someone but no one knows about it within 20 years, then even if someone finds out that you killed someone after 20 years, the law will not hold you accountable."
Cai Liming's eyes moved.
Zhou Qiming said: "This is an item stipulated in the Criminal Law, not something I made up."
Cai Limin raised his eyes and looked at him.
Zhou Qiming smiled gently: "Guess how many years have passed since you killed Lu Xiuqin?"
Cai Limin's breathing became slightly heavier.
Zhou Qiming's smile grew brighter: "Sixteen years."
He spoke with regret: "If you just hold on for a few more years, you won't have to worry about this matter being exposed. If you work hard for a few more years, save more money for retirement, retire happily, and live a comfortable life in the future, how happy." He shook his head and sighed: "What a pity, what a pity, Cai Chengyong's incident happened, and because of Cai Chengyong, your story was also exposed."
"Just think about it. You've lived half your life and are about to retire and enjoy your life, but you've been dragged down by him and will have to spend the rest of your life in jail."
"You tried so hard to cover it up for him. Will he still appreciate your kindness after he knows the truth?"
Cai Liming's hands were shaking slightly.
-
In the office.
Song Lianfeng coaxed him: "Do you like solving cases? Do you like the process of solving cases? Or do you like the satisfaction of catching the criminals?"
"But the real life of a criminal police officer may not be as beautiful as you think, nor as heroic as it is shown on TV. What they have to face on a daily basis may be endless and boring interviews, questioning, investigations, and record-taking. Working overtime and staying up late is the norm. It is possible that they can't find any clues about the case even after working for months."
He said, "If you don't like civilian jobs, you can try other positions. For example, forensic doctors and trace detectives also assist in solving cases and play a significant role. We have had several cases before where forensic doctors provided key clues, which enabled us to identify the murderer as quickly as possible and arrest him in one fell swoop. If you are willing, you can also give it a try."
Shen Qingye was silent for a long time, and finally spoke: "Uncle Song, I understand your thoughts, I know you care about me, and I know my current situation."
"But I...still stick to my idea."
Song Lianfeng's face changed, and he was about to say something, but Shen Qingye spoke first: "I'm not being willful, nor am I fooling around, I've thought it over carefully."
She looked at Song Lianfeng and said word by word, "Yesterday, in Zhou Meihua's case, I was the first to notice the clues about the murderer. I was also the first to notice the footprints on the air conditioner outdoor unit, and assisted Captain Yue in arresting Li Dazhi in one fell swoop."
"Today, I was the first to notice that the bodies of those serial murders were all dumped in the south of the city, and I deduced that the murder scene might be Cai Chengyong's hometown. It was also me and Team Leader Yue who found Lv Xiuqin's body under the persimmon tree. I was also the first to find the cellar and found the murder weapon hidden by Cai Chengyong, which provided the most crucial evidence for this case." She took a deep breath and said seriously, "Uncle Song, I'm not saying this to ask for credit or reward. I just want to prove that I have the ability to do this."
"If I really don't have the talent for this, then I won't force myself. But now it's proven that I can do it, and I can do it well. I have the ability to seek justice for the victims and bring the murderer to justice."
"Then I can't just turn a blind eye and continue to live a stable, ordinary life."
Song Lianfeng sat on the sofa, looked up at her, and didn't speak for a long time.
The girl has a slender figure, but her shoulders and back are straight, her eyes are firm, and her whole body exudes an uplifting temperament. Anyone who sees her will have to say that she is definitely a good criminal police seedling.
Song Lianfeng closed his eyes and said tiredly, "So, you insist on doing this job, right?"
Shen Qingye bit her lower lip and said, "Uncle Song, I will do my best to ensure my safety."
"I want to try it."
Song Lianfeng looked at her for a long time and finally sighed deeply.
He slowly leaned back on the sofa and said helplessly, "I know how good you are. Lao Gao told me that when you were in the police academy, you were among the best in your major, and your ability in criminal investigation was also remembered by countless professors.
"He said that you spend as much time on combat and firearms training as students majoring in the same discipline; in every combat class, among a group of grown men, only a few can beat you.
"He said you are smart and sharp, your personality is not at all stable for your age, and you have your own opinions.
"You're also said to be wild, let me take a closer look." At this point, Song Lianfeng smiled and said, "I didn't take it seriously at first. She's just a girl, how wild can she be? Can she be as wild as those guys under my command?"
"Today I have finally seen it."
Shen Qingye opened his mouth: "Uncle Song..."
Song Lianfeng raised his hand to stop her from talking, and continued, "Yesterday, Yue Lingchuan also came to see me. When he talked about you, he said that you are sharp and decisive, careful and cautious, and have a plan in mind. You are a good candidate for a criminal police officer."
He shook his head and laughed, "It's really hard for him. In all my years on the team, this is the first time I've seen him praise someone so much."
Shen Qingye's eyes moved slightly, and he was a little surprised.
Song Lianfeng looked at him and continued, "Such a talented person, do you think I am attracted to him?"
He stood up and said, "Pingjiang City is developing better and better, and various criminal incidents are emerging one after another. The criminal police force needs to be expanded. At this time, a criminal police seedling with a keen sense of smell and extraordinary talent appears. How can I not be tempted?"
He stood in front of Shen Qingye: "If this was anyone in our team, I would have released him without hesitation and asked him to report to the Serious Crime Squad. But this person has to be you, Xiao Shen!"
"If you think about it carefully, it's not surprising. As the saying goes, like father, like son. Your father is an excellent criminal policeman and a well-deserved hero! Your mother is also a courageous and resourceful female entrepreneur who built her business from scratch. As their daughter, how can you be any worse?"
He said earnestly: "But sometimes we can't just consider talent and ability when doing things, we also have to consider realistic factors! Xiao Shen, how can you reassure your parents and so many people who care about you?"
Shen Qingye's lips moved for a while, and finally she said with red eyes and hoarse voice: "But Uncle Song, you also said that my father is a hero, and my mother is also an outstanding person. Then, as their daughter, how can I be content with being ordinary?"
Song Lianfeng looked at her and his brows slowly frowned.
Shen Qingye raised his eyes again, his eyes were already a little moist: "When I was a child, I said that I wanted to be a criminal police when I grew up. My father told me how dangerous and busy it was to be a criminal policeman, but he said that if I really wanted to take this path, he would support me. He said that I was his pride, and he said that he believed that I would become an excellent criminal policeman."
"Now that I have the ability, if I really choose to live a so-called ordinary life for the sake of stability and peace, will my father be disappointed in me if he finds out?"
She used to be content with the status quo, but if she chose to escape the storm under the protection of her family and elders after having that kind of ability, wouldn't she be disappointing her father's expectations?
Shen Qingye believed that her father would rather see his daughter as an eagle soaring in the sky rather than a bird staying in a cage.
Song Lianfeng looked at the somewhat unfamiliar girl in front of him and felt that he had never really seen her clearly during the past few months in her team. Now I understand why Lao Gao had repeatedly told him to pay more attention to this girl, saying she was wild, opinionated, and stubborn.
He walked to the desk, closed his eyes, sat for a long time, and then sighed: "If you are really determined, I can't stop you."
Shen Qingye's eyes moved slightly.
Song Lianfeng looked at her and said, "I will not cover up anything for you in this case. I will have the people in Group 3 write down the details of what happened and the results, and submit them to the bureau and the provincial department."
He said: "When the time comes, when Lao Gao asks you about it, you should think about what to say."
This means compromise.
Shen Qingye's eyelashes trembled slowly, and her voice was slightly hoarse: "I know, I will tell Uncle Gao. Thank you, Uncle Song."
"No need to thank me." Song Lianfeng stretched out his voice, walked to her side, patted her shoulder, and said with a complicated look: "You are very good. I believe you can become a good criminal policeman like your father."
He paused, then added: "I don't want you to be like him."
Shen Qingye's eyes suddenly became hot.
-
Cai Chengyong looked at the thick stacks of documents, his breathing gradually became disordered, his jaw tightened, his fingers hanging on the table bent, and obvious blue veins were visible on the back of his hands.
After a moment, he sneered and changed to a more comfortable sitting position, with an arrogant and contemptuous attitude: "What does that have to do with me? Police comrade, I just slept with Zhang Cuimei for a few times, and left when I woke up. I don't know what you said."
Yue Lingchuan continued, "In addition, we also found a kitchen knife and a chopping board in the cellar of Zhang Cuimei's house, and extracted the victim's blood and your fingerprints on them. What do you have to say about this?"
Cai Chengyong's eyes moved, but his expression remained the same. He said, "Oh, the kitchen knife. I used it a few times. I was hungry a few nights, so I cooked a few meals. As for the blood and stuff, I don't know."
Jiang Cheng looked at him, his eyes slowly darkened, and Wei Zhengyi couldn't help but frowned. They had long known that Cai Chengyong was difficult to deal with, but they did not expect that in the face of such solid evidence, he could still calmly say no.
Yue Lingchuan laughed when he saw this and said, "You and your father are really alike."
Cai Chengyong paused. He was already used to the policeman's inexplicable words, so he followed his words and said, "He is my father. I must look like him."
“No, no, no.” Yue Lingchuan shook his head: “I mean, your attitude of refusing to admit anything is exactly the same.”
Cai Chengyong looked at him, and Yue Lingchuan continued: "But no matter how much he argued, didn't he still confess in the end?"
After he finished speaking, he seemed to remember something and looked at Cai Chengyong with a smile: "By the way, you don't know yet, right?"
"Cai Limin has confessed everything."
Cai Chengyong's face finally darkened. He stared at him with sinister eyes for a long while before he said, "Confess? What did he confess? He didn't kill the person, so what is there for him to confess?"
Yue Lingchuan asked: "Who told you that he was involved in this incident?"
Cai Chengyong's eyelids jumped and he suddenly had a bad feeling.
Yue Lingchuan slowly flipped out a document, shook it at him, and said word by word: "Investigation report on the case of Cai Limin murdering his wife and burying her body."
Cai Chengyong's face changed suddenly.
Yue Lingchuan changed another document, stood up and pressed it on his desk, moved his fingers down, and looked at him without blinking: "This is your father's confession. On it, there are his own fingerprints."
He placed his hands on the table, half bent over. His sturdy body was extremely oppressive in the dim environment, and his eyes were dark. "He confessed in person how he knocked out Lü Xiuqin, put on her clothes to deceive you and the neighbors, brought her home, killed her, and buried her under the persimmon tree in your yard—"
Cai Chengyong did not lower his head to look, but instead raised his head with a stiff neck, nostrils flared, and stared at him with wide eyes.
Yue Lingchuan did not back down, and asked quickly: "You didn't expect it? Your mother didn't run away. For more than ten years, she has been in your yard, under your persimmon tree! Have you seen that tree every time you go home? Have you eaten the fruit from that tree? Have you ever stood under that tree?"
"You never know, one day you'll be standing on your mother's bones, eating persimmons grown from her bones and blood!"
Cai Cheng stood up abruptly, his eyes bloodshot: "You are talking nonsense!"
"Whether it's nonsense or not, you can tell by looking at it yourself." Yue Lingchuan pressed on, his voice rising an inch: "Not long after your mother left, didn't your father repaint the walls of the house? What did he tell you? He said that your mother despised him for being poor and having no future, and he said that if he made the house look better, your mother might come back! I tell you, he was lying to you all the time!"
"He painted the wall because it was covered with your mother's blood. On such a rainy day, the walls and the ground were covered with bloodstains, just like Zhang Cuimei's kitchen! That night, she was strangled to death by your father. You should know how helpless and painful she was, right? Just like those women you killed, can you imagine it?"
"After the wall was painted, did you ever touch it? Did you ever think that your mother would come back one day? No! Your mother is lying coldly under the persimmon tree, her blood is covered by the white wall, and her beloved son is being instigated and deceived by a murderer and regards her as an enemy!"
"You're talking nonsense!" Cai Chengyong screamed, his eyes red. "You said all this, you said all this! You're lying to me, you must be lying to me!"
"You will know whether I lied to you or not if you take a look. The evidence is all here, the information is all here, why don't you take a look!" Yue Lingchuan slammed the table heavily, stood up straight, and looked at him with contempt: "You dare not."
Cai Chengyong's chest heaved violently, his hands clenched into fists, and he stared at him for a long time before he suddenly snatched the paper from his hand.
He quickly scanned it and suddenly laughed out loud: "Look, look, it says here that she had someone else outside and she was the one who wronged my dad first!"
Yue Lingchuan shook his head, as if mocking his naivety: "The person is already dead, what exactly happened is not up to your father to decide."
"Think about it yourself. How did your mother treat you when you were a child? Your neighbors and villagers in your hometown all said that you were obedient and sensible in the past. It's obvious that your mother taught you well. Was she gentle and patient? Did she think of you first when she had something delicious?"
"She has been married to your father for ten years and has given birth to you for eight years. If she really has a first love and wants to leave, when can she not leave? When can she not leave?"
"What reason could make her give up her husband of ten years, her son of eight years, and her hard-earned stable life? A first love? Do you believe it?"
Cai Chengyong yelled at him: "If it wasn't her fault, if she didn't have someone else outside, why would my father kill her?"
"What about you? Why did you kill those women? What did they do wrong?" Yue Lingchuan didn't give him a chance to respond, and pressed on: "You know it's not her fault, you're just a coward, you just don't dare to admit it! Don't dare to admit that it was Cai Limin who killed your mother! It was also Cai Limin who caused you to be called a motherless child and a bastard since you were a child!"
"It's all Cai Limin's fault that you are like this now!"
"Bullshit!" Cai Chengyong screamed, "It's her fault, it's all her fault!"
"It's not her fault, it's you! You're stupid and incompetent! You've been deceived and misunderstood your mother for nearly twenty years, and she's been accused of running away with a man for nearly twenty years!"
"Not only did you not help her clear her name, you also resented and hated her! You even killed so many poor women like her!"
"They deserve to die, they deserve to die!" Cai Chengyong said with a sinister and crazy expression: "All women deserve to die, they all deserve to die. It's her fault, it's her fault!"
He looked at Yue Lingchuan fiercely and said with a distorted smile: "Do you know? When I was fucking those women, they kept begging me, begging me to let them go, begging me to spare their lives. But don't they like men? Don't they want to run away with men? I satisfied them, hahahaha, I satisfied them!"
"They are on the chopping board, just like pigs in a slaughterhouse. What's the difference between them and animals? There is no difference! Hahaha, abandoning your own children is no different from animals!"
Yue Lingchuan stood up straight and looked at him expressionlessly: "You are the real beast."
"What have I done wrong? What have I done wrong?" Cai Chengyong said confidently: "It's all their fault, it's all their fault!"
Yue Lingchuan took a deep breath, not wanting to waste any more time talking to him, and turned around and walked behind the table.
Jiang Cheng and Wei Zhengyi were together, and they also had expressions that were unbearable to watch.
Cai Chengyong sat in his seat in a daze, and kept muttering: "I am not wrong, I am not wrong."
-
After a long silence, Cai Limin finally spoke, his voice hoarse and difficult: "You said that the murder weapon was found in the cellar of Widow Zhang's house?"
Zhou Qiming and Jiang Cheng looked at each other, somewhat surprised: "You don't know?"
Cai Limin shook his head tiredly: "I don't know. He never told me these things."
Luo Kaiyang asked: "Then how did you help him?"
Cai Limin said: "I helped him find a single, beautiful girl from a nearby factory area who was not from the local area, and helped him guard the factory gate to prevent him from being discovered for driving secretly..."
As Cai Chengyong grew up, his ideas gradually became more sophisticated. Cai Liming could neither persuade him nor stop him. When he first realized what he had done, he found it a little absurd and unbelievable. He never expected that after many twists and turns, his son would end up following his old path.
But what can we do about it? That was his son. What else could he do except try to cover up for him?
Zhou Qiming asked: "So you just watched him walk step by step to where he is now? And finally he ended up in this hopeless situation?"
Cai Liming closed his eyes, looking old, and said nothing.
…
The doors of the two interrogation rooms were opened almost at the same time. Yue Lingchuan looked at the two people on the other side of the corridor, walked over, lowered his eyes to look at the documents in their hands, raised his eyebrows and asked: "Did Cai Limin give up?"
Zhou Qiming: "Give it up."
He asked again: "Is everything going well for you?"
Before Yue Lingchuan could speak, Wei Zhengyi couldn't help but give him a thumbs up: "Brother Qiming, the boss really means this!"
Zhou Qiming was a little surprised: "Really? It seemed like it was quite lively just now."
"That's right!" Wei Zhengyi shook his head and sighed, "It's really a psychological tactic! Cai Chengyong is so strong mentally, but he was almost driven crazy by the boss. You didn't see what he did just now. It feels like his entire cognition over the years is about to collapse."
Luo Kaiyang said proudly: "Can our boss's reputation be exaggerated? He was a well-deserved legend in the police community of Pingjiang City at that time!"
A group of people were laughing and joking. Yue Lingchuan rolled up the documents and knocked on them one by one: "Alright, stop playing tricks. Now that you've given up, finish the paperwork as soon as possible. The bureau and the provincial department are waiting."
The group of people were in a relaxed mood. Luo Kaiyang said, "Isn't it quick? It's a simple matter that can be solved in less than an afternoon."
Yue Lingchuan glanced at him: "Really? In that case, then this job is up to you. Give me the stuff before Friday."
Luo Kaiyang's face suddenly turned bitter, and he hurriedly stepped forward: "No, boss, I just said it casually..."
Wei Zhengyi couldn't help but burst out laughing when he saw this, and the usually reserved Jiang Cheng also curled up the corners of his mouth.
They walked down the stairs and when they reached the third floor, they ran into Shen Qingye who had just come up.
After these two incidents, Luo Kaiyang looked at her with new eyes and immediately greeted her warmly: "Xiao Shen, where have you been?"
Shen Qingye smiled and said, "Something happened. The detachment asked me to come over."
She looked at their relaxed demeanor and thought: "Look at you guys...did you manage to get through this tough situation?"
"We've got it done!" Wei Zhengyi waved the document in his hand and said with a smile, "Both the father and the son have given up. We've finally solved this matter."
Shen Qingye said: "Thank you for your hard work."
Wei Zhengyi waved his hand and said, "It's really thanks to you this time. Otherwise, we don't know how long we would have to be busy."

"Oh, Captain Yue," she said, "Captain Song wants you to come over."
Yue Lingchuan raised his eyebrows: "Let me pass?"
Shen Qingye pursed her lips: "Maybe he was talking about what happened yesterday."
She looked at him and said, "If he asks about me...just say that I insisted on going yesterday, and you couldn't do anything to me, so you took me with you."
Yue Lingchuan looked at her deeply, met her somewhat uneasy gaze, and smiled slowly after a moment: "Don't worry."
He stuffed the documents in his hand into her arms: "I know what's going on."
Shen Qingye held the documents in her arms, watched his leisurely back as he slowly walked down the stairs, and blinked slowly.
…
The group continued to walk towards the office. As Luo Kaiyang was talking about the interrogation, Shen Qingye suddenly asked:
"So, Zhang Cuimei was really the first person Cai Chengyong killed?"
