Chapter 208 208 I feel the future is smooth
In addition to the murders of Lü Xiangmei and Li Song, Li Feng also confessed to the murders of three young people in the village.
This case is pretty much what Guan Xia and the others expected. Li Feng treats Li Miao as his own property, as a replacement for the deceased Lv Xiangmei who stayed by his side. Although the two hate each other, because Li Miao looks a bit like Lv Xiangmei, Li Feng will never allow Li Miao to leave him, not even if they are in a relationship. She cannot belong to another person, she can only belong to himself.
So several young people who pursued and harassed Li Miao most enthusiastically were dealt with by Li Feng. Because he was very rich and had made great contributions to Lijia Village, he deceived the parents of the three young people under the pretext of introducing jobs and let the three of them leave the village without arousing any suspicion.
He kidnapped the three people as soon as they left the village. He left enough audio and video footage for subsequent plans. After completing these preparations, he stabbed the three people to death and buried their bodies in the ancestral tomb of Lijia Village.
Li Feng sneered in disdain at Guan Xia's questioning about the list of his accomplices. Although he was old, he still had enough strength and experience. He didn't need any accomplices at all. He could do all these things by himself. The most important thing was that the three young men were stupid, especially stupid. They believed everything he said. So he knocked the three of them down with drugs without any effort. It was so easy to catch them, so the subsequent actions were naturally easy to accomplish.
By the time Li Feng finished explaining everything, mixed with lies and truth, it was already past two in the afternoon.
Guan Xia took one last look at Li Feng, who was slumped in the interrogation chair, and then she and Pang Le opened the door and left without looking back.
Both the middle-aged female police officer and the criminal police from other jurisdictions were surprised that they could get Li Feng to speak, so Guan Xia had to cheer herself up and chat with them for a while before she could leave.
As soon as they reached a secluded corner, Pang Le asked with a thoughtful expression, "Guan Xia, how true do you think Li Feng's words are?"
Guan Xia pondered for a moment and said, "Probably one percent true and nine percent false."
Pang Le was a little shocked when he heard it. "This Li Feng looks like an honest man, but he is such a liar. Let me tell you, if I hadn't known some of the truth about this case in advance, I would have actually believed it."
Guan Xia said: "If he wasn't so good at disguising himself, how could he have thrived in Lijia Village and deceived Li Miao for so many years?"
Pang Le reacted, "That's right, but I'm still a little curious. Do you think he's really that cold to Li Miao in his heart? I always feel that what he shows and what he says are a bit inconsistent. And the fire that night, although Li Miao's actions were unexpected, it also started too smoothly. Do you think he really didn't notice it at all? Or is he really old and dying, so he's a little slowed down, allowing Li Miao's plan to succeed."
Although Li Feng was successfully arrested, his non-cooperation led to many doubts in the case. Not only Pang Le, but Guan Xia also had some things she couldn't figure out.
Guan Xia raised her wrist to check the time again. Seeing that there was still plenty of time, she thought for a moment and said, "Maybe he's not that cold-blooded. Maybe in his heart, he still has some sincerity towards Li Miao. But now that things have developed to this point, whether it's true or not is no longer important. After all, Lv Xiangmei did die at the hands of Li Feng, and the deception and control that Li Miao suffered over the years are all real. Now that he's been arrested, the death penalty is bound to be waiting for him."
Pang Le sighed and said, "That's right. I hope everyone handling this case can move faster and send him to the execution ground before he dies of his illness. I don't want such a demon to die in his hospital bed at all."
Just as the two of them were chatting here, they heard someone calling them from a distance, "Guan Xia, Pang Le."
Guan Xia raised her head and saw the dusty figures of Qi Bai and Jiang Yingyao. Zhong Xiaoyu and Wang Yu were also there. Because they had not slept all night, they both had obvious dark circles under their eyes, especially Wang Yu. Perhaps he had finally relaxed and couldn't help yawning when he walked over.
Seeing her yawning, Guan Xia couldn't help but yawn too. Now, as if yawning was contagious, several people yawned one after another before gathering together again.
The first question Guan Xia asked when she saw them was, "Has Xu Nian been contacted by the task force?"
Wang Yu said, "I've received it. We're having a meeting in the small conference room on the third floor. Once we've discussed the case and completed the handover, we can leave."
While everyone breathed a sigh of relief, they were also a little worried. After all, compared to the case in Lijia Village, the next case was more difficult.
Seeing Qi Bai's bitter face, Guan Xia simply changed the subject, "Brother Jiang, did you find anything last night? We just finished interrogating Li Feng. He said that the young people in the village he killed died from being stabbed in the chest with a sharp weapon. Do your preliminary autopsy results confirm this?"
Jiang Yingyao nodded and said, "The local criminal police team that went to search for the bodies yesterday brought a forensic doctor with them. Not only the three bodies, but even Li Song's ribs had cut marks from a sharp weapon. I think it must have been left when the weapon pierced his chest."
Qi Bai suddenly said, "It seems that Li Feng's killing skills are really not that good. He has killed so many people, but he hasn't improved at all. However, his killing methods are quite consistent with that of the criminal organization. They all like to kill with one blow. I wonder if he learned this from Wu Yang. Because he is used to it, everyone imitates him."
Guan Xia said, "That's possible, but I remember that the murder weapon in the rainy night murder case on May 23 that we're going to investigate next didn't seem to be a knife."
Wang Yu said, "I remember it too. It was a broken piece of steel bar. But it does match the cause of death of Li Song and the others. They were all stabbed in the heart. However, in the Yuye case, the victim was stabbed from behind, and there was an open wound on the back of his head."
Upon hearing this, Qi Bai immediately moved behind Jiang Yingyao and gestured, "There's an open wound on the back of his head, and the fatal wound was stabbed from behind. It's obvious that the murderer must have first injured the deceased with a weapon, knocking him to the ground and even causing him to be unconscious, and then delivered the fatal blow. From this perspective, the murderer is actually inexperienced in killing. If it was really Wu Yang who did it, even if it wasn't his first case, it must have been done with his limited experience. He might have left behind some important evidence."
Guan Xia glanced at Qi Bai and asked, "When you noticed this case, didn't you contact the criminal police team in charge of it?"
Qi Bai moved out from behind Jiang Yingyao again, scratched his head, and said, "I had this idea at the time, but Captain Xu stopped me. He said that if it was really Wu Yang who did it, given his cautious nature, he would probably send someone to monitor the case. If we rashly go and inquire, we might alert the enemy."
Guan Xia has almost forgotten what Wu Yang looks like. Even after seeing his photo, he cannot form an effective memory. Instead, the more he learns about the criminal organization, the more he has a deeper understanding of Wu Yang.
For example, he is shrewd, bold, and cautious. Based on their superficial understanding of the criminal organization, if they rashly contact the people involved in the case, it is indeed possible to alarm him.
Thinking of this, Guan Xia nodded, "That makes sense. Since we're going to alert them sooner or later, we might as well just go over there. This way we can buy time and delay him from discovering us."
Everyone was silent for two seconds. Zhong Xiaoyu rubbed her eyes and said, "Sister Ji called me. She said Ping'an is much better. Even though she's not here, with Ning Xin's parents taking care of him, Ping'an's emotions are stable and he's not afraid anymore. Sister Ji said she's ready to join us."
Zhong Xiaoyu said as she looked at Guan Xia and asked, "Should we have Sister Ji come here, or go directly to Quming City?"
Wu Yang went to high school in Quming City. Since they wanted to investigate his high school case, they naturally had to go to Quming City. Guan Xia really didn't expect that it would be less than half a month since she last went to the Quming City Welfare Home, and she would have to go again.
After thinking for a moment, Guan Xia nodded and said, "Okay, but for safety reasons, it would be best if she could find a hotel near the police station after she arrives."
Guan Xia was really worried. Li Feng had been arrested for almost a day and a night. According to the scale of the criminal organization, Wu Yang should have received the news. It was really dangerous for Ji An to act alone.
Just as Guan Xia was hesitating whether to let Ji An come to find them first, she heard Qi Bai say, "Brother Lu is alone now, too. Why don't I give him a call and ask him to go to Quming City and keep Sister Ji company first?"
Everyone immediately looked at him. Pang Le asked in surprise, "Is he okay? Has he come out?"
Qi Bai shook his head and said, "I don't know. Anyway, I called him and sent him messages before, but he didn't answer or reply. Later, we had to investigate the case, and Captain Xu was keeping an eye on him, so I didn't try again. But it's been more than ten days now. Given Brother Lu's personality, he should be better, right?"
Qi Bai looked at Wang Yu, then at Guan Xia, blinked, and said, "How about I ask Captain Xu first? I remember Captain Xu seemed to have received a call from Brother Lu the night before last. Since he was willing to call Captain Xu, he must have moved on, right?"
Guan Xia recalled the last time they met, when Lu Tingfeng's eyes were red and his face was murderous. She was really unsure of his condition.
After hesitating for a long time, Guan Xia finally said, "Forget it. If Lu Tingfeng hadn't asked, we shouldn't force him. How about this? Sister Ji should come and meet up with us first, and then we'll go to Quming City together. At this time, there might be flights from Shangshuang City. We plan to leave in the evening, so we'll still make it."
Zhong Xiaoyu agreed after hearing this, "Okay, I'll call Sister Ji now and ask her to leave immediately."
Qi Bai also said: "Then I'll call Brother Lu to see how he is doing now. If he doesn't answer, it means he can't join us in investigating the case now."
The people who had just gathered dispersed again. Pang Le dug into his pocket, took out a piece of chocolate, handed it to Guan Xia, and said, "Eat something sweet to replenish your sugar. Look at your face, it's all pale. It suddenly occurred to me that we didn't even have breakfast and stayed up all night."
After Pang Le said this, Guan Xia realized that she was a little hungry. She couldn't help but smile, took the chocolate, split it in half, handed half to Pang Le, then peeled off the outer packaging of her own half and stuffed it into her mouth. "Actually, I didn't have three meals a day like this before. When I was rushing to finish my manuscript, I only had one meal a day for many days in a row, so it's okay now. But for the sake of my health, I still have to eat well in the future after that criminal organization is uprooted. After all, our good days are just around the corner."
Pang Le also slowly ate his half of the chocolate, thought for a moment and asked Guan Xia, "Are you in love with it now?"
Almost half a year later, Pang Le asked her the same question again. Guan Xia was stunned again, and after a few seconds she said, "Maybe I'm in love with it."
Because she has been busy solving cases non-stop, Guan Xia has never thought about this issue. However, since the system was upgraded again, she has more expectations for the future. If it weren't for that criminal organization, she would have completely broken free from the shackles. She can investigate cases when she wants to, and not investigate when she doesn't want to. There will no longer be anything that binds her and forces her to run for safety.
But thinking back carefully, everything she had experienced before was really fulfilling. She saved many people. Not to mention maximizing the functions of the system, at least she lived up to its name.
Thinking of this, Guan Xia's expression relaxed. Why think so much? She was born into this world, and no matter her previous struggles or current efforts, it was all for the purpose of living a free and easy life with plenty of money in the future. Now her goal has been half achieved. As long as that criminal organization disappears completely, she can really live a life of financial freedom and freedom.
Thinking of this, Guan Xia felt that all the fatigue in her body disappeared, and she felt that the future was bright and clear, attracting her to rush forward.
