Chapter 89 Sewer Yue Lingchuan couldn't help but be dazed for a moment.
"What are you doing? Why are you arresting me?"
The yellow-haired young man was still yelling. Li Mingliang frowned and put his hands on the back of his head, saying, "Behave yourself!"
The opponent was pinned to the ground, his neck twisted wildly, but he couldn't break free at all.
Li Mingliang looked back at Shen Qingye and asked doubtfully, "Xiao Shen?"
Shen Qingye glanced at him, his eyes swept across the silver chain around his neck, ignoring the noisy voices that only he could hear, and said, "I just saw him."
Captain Yang's eyes sharpened, and Shen Qingye explained: "When we were upstairs an hour ago, he appeared nearby, but I didn't pay attention to him at the time. But now--"
Before she finished speaking, everyone understood what she meant.
Now, with the temperature outside at over 30 degrees, this man is wandering here again, his whereabouts are suspicious.
Captain Yang stared at him with his eyes downcast. His face darkened instantly, looking very intimidating. "Tell me, what are you doing here?!"
The young man pressed his cheek against the ground, his eyes wandering and uncertain, and said stubbornly: "What's wrong with me being here? Who said I can't come here? Do I need a reason to come here?"
The situation was urgent just now and no one paid attention to it. But now after careful observation, I found that the other party's voice was quite young. Although his face was made up, you could vaguely see that his facial features were still somewhat childish.
Shen Qingye frowned.
Li Mingliang said in a cold voice: "Are you from here? Are you just wandering around here?"
The young man said in a weak voice: "Why don't I live here?"
Captain Yang stared at him closely: "Where do you live? Take us there?"
The young man blinked in panic: "Why should I take you there? If you say I will take you there, I will -"
With a "bang", Li Mingliang slammed the ground next to him and raised his voice, shouting: "I'm warning you, don't try to be cunning here! There was a murder case in this area some time ago. Your whereabouts are suspicious. We have reason to suspect that you are the murderer!"
The young man's head shrank, obviously startled. Captain Yang fixed his eagle eyes on him, and his voice was as cold as an ice cone: "I'll ask you again, what are you doing here?"
The young man finally stopped insisting on going home by himself. He hesitated for a long time before whispering, "I, I'm here to look for a friend!"
"Where is your friend?"
"He, he's not home today."
"It's okay, you can just take us to his house and we can wait."
The young man was sweating profusely: "I, I don't know where his home is. We, we usually meet outside..."
Captain Yang looked at him solemnly: "Outside? Where outside specifically?"
The young man opened his mouth, his throat moved, and his eyes blinked rapidly.
"Can't tell? Then let me ask you again, why did you run when we called you just now?"
“I, I…”
He talked to me for a long time but couldn't figure it out. Shen Qingye chuckled and said, "Why, you can't make it up?"
The young man looked up at her with an angry look. It was her. It was she who suddenly spoke just now. If it weren’t for her—
Yue Lingchuan frowned, took a step forward, and half-blocked Shen Qingye.
Shen Qingye didn't care at all, just looked at him, his eyes as calm as a deep pool: "Since you can't make it up, why don't I help you tell it."
"Let me guess. Your home is probably not that close to here, and you don't have any friends nearby. So you came here... to observe the police?"
The young man's pupils suddenly shrank. Shen Qingye listened to the chattering of the necklace, extracted important information from it, and did not miss any of his subtle expressions. He stepped forward and said, "You want to see what the police have found out during this period of time and whether they have found any clues. After all, although you wiped off the fingerprints on the knife at that time, you still can't help but worry about whether there will be traces left. If the police have any gains, you can also make preparations in time."
She took another step forward and half-knelt in front of the young man, looking down at him: "You still want to know whether the police have found the thing you hid."
The young man breathed rapidly, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, and he said in a timid tone: "You, you are slandering me!"
Shen Qingye uttered an "oh" and narrowed his eyes, saying firmly: "You are very worried that we will find that thing."
"Why? Because... there are traces of you on it?"
The young man's breath was slightly choked, Shen Qingye raised his chin slightly: "Let me think, how did you take such a big thing out? With a bag?"
The other party's eyes flickered, and Shen Qingye asked again: "What bag? Woven bag? Luggage bag? Or...the plastic bag from Ruan Hongling's house."
"I see. You put it in a plastic bag from her home." Shen Qingye looked at him and smiled slowly. "When you threw the plastic bag away, did you think that your fingerprints would remain on it?"
The young man was getting more and more panicked. He stiffened his neck and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? What murder, what head? I have no idea!"
Shen Qingye watched him struggling desperately and even somewhat out of control, with a calm smile: "It seems I was right."
She tilted her head and said slowly: "I did ask you to throw that thing away."
Captain Yang was watching from the side, and seeing that she almost completely controlled the other party's emotional state, he couldn't help but look at Yue Lingchuan, and he became more curious and concerned about this little girl.
The young man's chest rose and fell violently, and he looked at her with a look that almost spitted fire, but he still forced himself to calm down: "Is this how you policemen slander others? I understand that you are eager to solve the case, but you can't just put the blame on others casually, right? I don't even know what case it is, let alone where that head you are talking about is!"
Shen Qingye looked at him and suddenly laughed. Captain Yang and others standing by also had a hint of smile in their eyes.
The man was startled when he saw this, his mind racing, trying to recall what he had just said. Shen Qingye had already given him the answer:
"When did I say that thing was the head of a dead person?"
The young man was startled and stared at her blankly.
Shen Qingye had already stood up and looked down at him with a gentle smile, but his tone was inexplicably cold: "As far as I know, when the police broke into the house, they were the only ones who saw the body. Even the neighbors of the deceased did not know the specific situation of the body. How did you know that the head of the deceased was missing?"
"Who told you that?"
The young man looked at her pretty face, his eyes fixed on the sun, and felt a little dizzy. His throat was dry and his voice moved slightly, and he heard a very loud gurgling sound, which was particularly obvious in this space.
"I..." he began hoarsely.
Shen Qingye tilted her head slightly and looked at him leisurely: "Hmm?"
"Go ahead."
Captain Yang's face darkened: "At this point, you still want to quibble?"
He tightened his grip on his arm and heard him yell, "Why don't you tell me now?"
The young man's face turned pale, but he still insisted that he knew nothing. Shen Qingye sighed and said, "You still don't want to say it."
The young man stared at her intently, and Shen Qingye nodded in understanding: "It's okay, I'll guess again."
When the young man heard these familiar words, his heart skipped a beat and he almost instantly remembered what had just happened.
He couldn't help shaking his head in his heart. No, no, the place where he was hiding was very secretive. She couldn't possibly -
"Your home is probably not very close to here, and this is a residential area with many people around. It's obviously not a good place to dump a body."
"In addition, during this period of time, police dogs also searched, and sanitation workers did not call the police or find anything unusual. Therefore, the place where you abandoned the head should be quite far away and in a deserted place."
The young man pursed his lips. Shen Qingye completely ignored his opinion and spoke to himself: "This residential area is in the middle of Huangning District. To the south, you have to pass through a large night market residential area, which is quite risky. To the east, it is close to Zhongyuan District and Shangyang District, and there are no remote places. To the west is Huilin County, out of the city. I guess your home is not in Huilin County, right?"
The young man's jaw tightened. Shen Qingye withdrew his gaze with satisfaction and continued, "Then after you killed the people, you should have gone north."
"If I remember correctly, the northern part of this area belongs to the township, so there shouldn't be many people coming and going at night."
She looked at the young man's increasingly tense expression, smiled gently and said, "Where did you throw the head?"
Her calm eyes slowly turned cold:
"The weeds by the roadside?"
"A small forest along the way?"
"Or an abandoned house? In a ditch? Or buried under a tree?"
The young man listened to her guess and his expression unconsciously relaxed, but Shen Qingye smiled: "It seems that neither is true."
"Then let me think about it... It's been almost a week since the crime happened. In this weather, the head will definitely rot and stink... Is there a hidden place where no one will find it?"
"Not in the water..."
"Is it underground?"
The young man's face trembled slightly, and Shen Qingye suddenly realized: "Oh, it seems that it is really underground."
"It's underground, not under a tree, not in the woods." Shen Qingye's eyes lit up, and he suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly said, "You didn't throw the head into the sewer, did you?"
The young man suddenly raised his eyes to look at her, with a look of surprise and astonishment.
Shen Qingye smiled happily when he saw this: "Yeah, I guessed right, it really is in the sewer."
The young man's face turned pale instantly.
......
Ten minutes later, under the questioning of the veteran criminal police, the young man finally couldn't bear it anymore and confessed the exact location of the head.
Ten minutes later, the group drove at top speed and finally stopped on the side of a road seven kilometers away from the crime scene.
Captain Yang took out the iron rod he bought on the road and inserted it into the hole of the manhole cover at an angle. After prying and twisting it, he finally pried the manhole cover open a little. Then Yue Lingchuan and Li Mingliang stepped forward together to lift the manhole cover. With a "bang", the manhole cover fell heavily to the ground.
No one cared to look at it any further, so Shen Qingye took out the flashlight he brought with him from the car and shone it inside -
This is a rainwater well. Fortunately, there has been no rain in Pingjiang recently, so there is only a shallow layer of water underneath, and it is almost dry.
That is why the red plastic bag stands out in the dim sewer.
"Hahaha!" Captain Yang suddenly laughed out loud and patted Shen Qingye on the shoulder: "Good guy, good guy!"
He looked at Shen Qingye with clear praise, and his previous contempt had long since disappeared: "Xiao Shen, Xiao Shen, this time it is really thanks to you! You are our great hero!"
Captain Yang seemed to be too excited. He slapped Shen Qingye's shoulder with his big hand. "Bang, bang, bang", Yue Lingchuan frowned.
He pulled Shen Qingye behind him. Captain Yang paused and glared at him. Yue Lingchuan said seriously, "Master, let's get the people from the Trace Inspection Team here first."
Captain Yang paused and glanced at him again. He inexplicably felt that this boy seemed a little unhappy.
Weird.
He scratched his head, feeling happy in his heart. He laughed twice, walked to the side, took out his cell phone and made a call.
Only Shen Qingye was left standing aside. He raised his hand and rubbed his shoulders with a grin. He met Yue Lingchuan's caring gaze, was silent for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing.
His eyes were bright and there was no trace of the pressure he had shown during the interrogation just now.
Yue Lingchuan couldn't help but be dazed for a moment.
