Chapter 83 Human Sacrifice (Part 2)
It takes an hour and a half to get to Kejia Village. After sleeping all the way, they felt refreshed when they woke up.
According to the address in hand, they quickly found Ke Dongnan's residence, but found the door closed.
After a careful observation, Ye Bai said with certainty: "The door lock is not dusty, and there are obvious signs of being touched. Someone must have gone out."
Just then, the lady next door came out with a basin, apparently going to feed the chickens.
She noticed Han Jianye and his group, so she took the initiative to talk to them: "Are you here to look for Dongnan? I saw him carrying a hoe and going out this morning. He must have gone to the fields."
Han Jianye asked politely: "Auntie, do you know the exact location of the field he went to?"
"It's right by the river next to the village. It's easy to find." The old lady answered enthusiastically.
With the guidance of the old lady, the four of them immediately headed towards the river.
Han Jianye suddenly felt the coolness of raindrops on his neck. He looked at the palm of his hand and confirmed: "It's raining."
The rain was not heavy, but they still quickened their pace and ran towards the river in the field.
Just then, a man on a bicycle rode past from the opposite direction. He lowered his head to avoid the rain and passed by them.
Ye Bai only took a quick glance, but immediately recognized that the man was Ke Dongnan whom they were looking for.
He hurriedly grabbed Han Jianye's arm and said excitedly: "Captain Han, Ke Dongnan just rode over there on a bicycle."
Han Jianye turned his head quickly and saw only the back of a person riding a bicycle. He asked, "Are you sure it's him?"
Ye Bai nodded firmly: "It's definitely him."
"Why don't you chase them!" Han Jianye immediately gave the order.
At this time, Ke Dongnan had no idea that he had been targeted. All he wanted was to go home and collect his clothes.
He was totally overwhelmed when he was suddenly surrounded and pulled off his bike.
"Who are you? Why are you arresting me?" Ke Dongnan asked loudly.
Han Jianye showed his ID and said seriously, "We are from the public security department, Ke Dongnan, you are suspected of three murders and you need to go back with us for investigation."
"How is this possible? How is this possible?" Ke Dongnan kept repeating this sentence.
Han Jianye looked directly into Ke Dongnan's eyes, "How is it impossible? Do you think you have done it perfectly and we can't catch you?"
The rain was getting heavier, and they braved the heavy rain to rush back to the police station. In the car, Han Jianye asked Ke Dongnan: "Why did you kill someone?"
Ke Dongnan hung his head and asked, "Did anyone give me money?"
"How much? Who gave it?"
"I used to work as a security guard in a villa area. I met a driver who asked me if I wanted to get rich. He said money was not a problem and he would pay me a high salary as long as I got the job done."
Ke Dongnan continued to recall, "I heard that the other party was a wealthy woman whose son died. One night, she had a dream that her son was very lonely and wanted to find a girl of similar age to accompany him in the burial. This matter had to be done secretly and could not be spread to others..."
Han Jianye urged him: "Then what? Go on, who is the person who contacted you and what is his name?"
Ke Dongnan sighed and continued, "His name is Li Zhimu, and he is the personal driver of that rich woman. He said that wealth and honor come from risk, and he offered me 300,000 yuan afterwards and asked me if I would do it. He also said that as long as we cover it up well, those girls' deaths in the mountains will not be discovered, and by then, if time is delayed for too long, the police will naturally not find me."
Ye Bai took over the conversation, "Do you believe what Li Zhimu said?"
"I don't believe it either, but the other party gave too much." Ke Dongnan said excitedly: "What if you didn't find me? With this money, I can get married and start a small business."
Han Jianye asked him: "What did you do after that?"
"Li Zhimu said he would give me half a month to find young girls between 20 and 22 years old. He also gave me four red skirts and said his boss had already asked someone to calculate the time and said he would start on the night of September 9. I couldn't find four girls at once, so I found a cousin I knew. I knew his family was not well off and he owed a lot of money, so I told him about it. Afterwards... I gave him 100,000 yuan as a reward. For the specific situation, go to Li Zhimu. He is the middleman and knows the most."
"Who is this cousin you're looking for? What's his name?"
"His name is Shen Lanshan."
Han Jianye's brows were solemn, and he thought: It seems that Shen Lanshan did not lie, and he did accept the 100,000 yuan in stolen money from Ke Dongnan.
Ye Bai asked again: "You haven't told me yet, how can we find Li Zhimu?"
Ke Dongnan confessed, "I have his contact information." Then he asked to see all the calls, "The second phone number is his."
Han Jianye looked directly into Ke Dongnan's eyes and said sternly, "I'll give you one chance. I need to know where Li Zhimu is now. I'll call him. You can find a reason to ask him out, or ask him where he is?"
Ke Dongnan nodded quickly, "Okay, okay, I'll cooperate. I will definitely cooperate."
The car was very quiet, and everyone held their breath. Han Jianye turned on the hands-free and called Li Zhimu, only to hear the other party say, "Didn't you say not to contact me again after the matter is settled?"
Ke Dongnan glanced at Han Jianye, then began to laugh, "Brother Li, I want to do some small business, but I don't have enough funds. Can you... give me some more money?"
"How much do you want?"
"I want to open a chicken farm, but I don't have enough capital, 100,000 yuan. Can you give me another 100,000 yuan?"
Li Zhimu snorted coldly, "How about I give you 1 million?"
Ke Dongnan glanced at Han Jianye and continued, "Brother Li, you are kidding me, are you really going to give me 1 million?"
"You know you're kidding."
"I...I..." Ke Dongnan didn't know how to respond, and looked up at Han Jianye for an answer.
“.......”
Li Zhimu paused and then said, "How about this, I'll tell the boss to give you another 50,000. Come to the old place to find me at 10 o'clock tonight, and I'll wait for you here. This is the last time I'll give you money."
"Okay, okay, I'll go tonight. Thank you, Brother Li."
Ke Dongnan was sweating with excitement. His lips and hands were shaking when he spoke just now. Then he looked at Han Jianye and asked, "Is this okay?"
"Okay, but where is the old place?"
"It's where I worked before, No. 5 Fangtingge Villa."
Han Jianye turned his head and looked at the other people in the car. It seemed that tonight would be another sleepless night.
After returning to the police station, they handed the person over to others for more detailed interrogation. They were going to hold a meeting to prepare for the deployment of tonight's operational mission.
Ye Bai raised a key question: "Li Zhimu agreed to Ke Dongnan so quickly, is there any fraud?"
Liao Wei said disapprovingly: "That's not the case. Ke Dongnan was just caught by us and is still hot. The news won't reach them that quickly, right?"
Han Jianye stood quietly by, cigarette in hand, listening to their detailed analysis.
Ye Bai turned to Liao Wei and continued to explain his point of view: "But you have to understand that many rich people are not stupid, especially those assistants who have always followed the big bosses. Their insights and thinking are far beyond the reach of ordinary people. Today they can use the most vulnerable part of human nature to manipulate the lower class people to do their bidding; tomorrow, they can use the same method to kill people with borrowed knives. In the face of money, human nature cannot stand the test, and any useless pawn can be discarded at any time."
Su Wan also expressed his opinion: "What you two said makes sense, but we still have to go to Fangting Pavilion Villa, but how do we get in?"
Han Jianye gently twisted off the cigarette butt and said firmly: "Find someone to pretend to be Ke Dongnan to meet Li Zhimu, and we will ambush around and wait for the opportunity."
The question that worries everyone is who will impersonate Ke Dongnan.
Everyone present looked at each other, and finally turned their eyes to Su Wan.
Su Wan was ashamed: "What are you doing!? (′ω｀)"
Qi Xiaolei smiled and said, "Captain Su, among all the people here, you are the only one with a similar height and body shape to Ke Dongnan. If you wrap a few more pieces of cloth around your belly, you will look even more like him."
"Go away, it's not funny at all." Su Wan refused decisively.
He thought: Wow… If you want to act handsome, you don’t think of me, but if you want to act old, you choose me.
I don't want to do this job anymore. (┯_┯)
At 9:30 p.m., Su Wan, whose protests were in vain, finally completed Ke Dongnan's makeup with the help of several female criminal police officers.
Everyone present pursed their lips and dared not laugh out loud. To say that the makeup was very similar was not entirely so. To say that they were not similar was still about 60% similar. After all, when it came to the wig, Ke Dongnan's different feeling came out.
Su Wan turned to look at Han Jianye, with a tone of grievance, "Captain Han, I want to ask for a subsidy for work-related injuries."
Humph, I'm extremely hurt right now because they are all laughing at me. (ˇˇ)
"Okay, as long as the mission is completed, I will pay you out of my own pocket." Han Jianye said seriously.
Then he turned around, looked up at the ceiling, and tried his best to suppress the upward curve of his lips.
He thought: I am a highly educated person, I cannot laugh in front of others. (￣▽￣)
Ye Bai glanced at Han Jianye and found that the corners of his mouth were twitching. He thought that he must be laughing as well.
On the way out, Han Jianye repeated again: "Su Wan will go in later. We will all be waiting for you outside the villa. Be careful."
Su Wan had already hidden his pistol. "I understand. We will act according to the situation. As long as the plan succeeds, I will capture Li Zhimu directly, and you can come in to support me."
Ye Bai looked up at the sky. It was drizzling today. He looked at Su Wan's figure and for some reason he always had an indescribable feeling.
He just looked at Su Wan and said with concern: "Captain Su, be careful."
"I know." Su Wan, wearing a raincoat, got into a taxi they arranged, preparing to drive to Fangting Pavilion Villa alone to meet Li Zhimu.
