Chapter 69 Chapter 69 Happy Birthday to You
Zhou Mingyuan, who was caught red-handed, was handcuffed and hooded and taken into a waiting police car.
The red and blue police lights broke through the thick dark morning fog before dawn, drove out of Tongrong River Park, where many evildoers were buried, and arrived at the Handong Provincial Public Security Bureau at dawn.
This serial murder and dismemberment case that had disturbed the people of Jingzhou for months finally came to an end.
Victory was just around the corner, and everyone was extremely excited facing the extremely heinous suspect.
Director Zu had not come to work yet, so Tan Li decided to go all out and, without even sleeping, dragged Zhao Zhuoqun to start interrogating him directly.
After Zhou Mingyuan was arrested, he didn't say a word and just sat quietly in the chair.
No one knew what he was thinking, but when faced with the charges brought by Tan Li, he admitted them very readily.
"...I did it," Zhou Mingyuan said expressionlessly. "From the moment I killed the first person, I knew this day would come. There's no excuse."
"..." Zhao Zhuoqun sighed, "Even if you know the consequences, you still want to kill people?"
"Yes." Zhou Mingyuan's eyes seemed frozen. "I have never regretted it for a single day."
Ji Yinhe, standing outside the interrogation room with his hands in his pockets, couldn't help but shook his head.
If the murderers she met in Jiangtan had motives, then this man killed innocent people simply because he hated homosexuals and was afraid of becoming one of them. He was simply born a bad person!
She was sighing as she watched Tan Li meticulously taking notes when Guan Ye suddenly opened the door and patted her shoulder. "Your uncle and aunt are here again early this morning."
Ji Yinhe exclaimed, "Ah!" "I almost forgot about them... Where are the victims rescued from the cellar?"
"In the duty room, Director Lu had a few of his men do a preliminary checkup on him. He seems fine... When I passed by just now, I heard him repeatedly thanking you."
"...Thank me?" Ji Yinhe pointed at his nose and laughed helplessly, "Okay, I'll go see what's going on."
He went upstairs and into the duty room. Lu Xiaoyan had already finished her work and was sitting at the table writing an inspection report. When Ji Junjie saw her, he let out a howl with tears in his eyes and pounced on her like a puppy.
"Sister! My dearest sister!"
Ji Yinhe got goosebumps from being so nauseating, and took a step back calmly, "I heard you want to thank me?"
The Ji family has excellent genes, and the facial features of the brother and sister are somewhat similar, but Ji Yinhe's face is bold and beautiful, while Ji Junjie's looks too delicate and fancy. In Lian Qiao's words, it's a bit like a "fresh meat".
At this moment, Ji Junjie blinked his peach blossom eyes, his face still covered in dust from the cellar. "Of course! If it weren't for you, I would have died right there! Honestly, I'm not afraid of being dismembered after death, but that man actually chopped off my thing and stabbed my butt with a dagger..."
He suddenly covered his mouth before the words and said sullenly, "Even if I'm good-looking and easily attracted to men and women, you can't do this to me!"
"..." Ji Yinhe frowned and was about to ask Ji Junjie to control his mouth and not say anything, but he caught a glimpse of the usually serious Lu Xiaoyan's lips curving up.
Comrade Xiao Ji was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Director Lu had such a gentle and kind side!
She grabbed her brother's ear and pulled him off the cot. "Okay, let's go. Uncle and aunt are here to pick you up."
Ji Junjie's playful expression immediately fell, and he followed Ji Yinhe out of the duty room with his head lowered.
When Qian Fang and Ji Jianhua saw that their son was unharmed, they immediately rushed over with joy.
Ji Yinhe stood with his hands behind his back and took a few steps back, watching the three of them perform a sentimental drama.
"...Son! Be a good person next time and stop hanging out with those shady people!" Qian Fang hugged her son and sobbed and wiped away her tears. "Your dad and I were really scared this time!"
"Go back to Jiangtan today!" Ji Jianhua said seriously, "Go back and find a job and focus on your studies! Your mother and I absolutely don't agree with you going out on your own until you mature!"
"..." Ji Junjie rolled his eyes helplessly, "Why don't I even have a little freedom..."
"Little brother, you have to fight for your freedom by yourself." Ji Yinhe stretched out a finger and shook it, then went back to the desk to get the registration book. "Okay, sign and leave your contact information. There is still some follow-up work, so please cooperate."
"Okay, okay!" Ji Jianhua nodded gratefully to Ji Yinhe, and seeing his wife take the initiative to speak, "I have discussed with your aunt, and your grandfather's situation, our family will take the initiative to support him in the future, so your parents don't have to worry about it."
Ji Yinhe crossed his arms, thinking to himself, you guys have taken so much advantage of me, this should be your duty, why are you pretending to be so generous...
It's time to go to work now, and people are coming and going at the door.
There were some things she was not comfortable saying here, so she just smiled politely, told them to finish their work, and sent them out of the provincial department.
On this side, Ji Jianhua and Qian Fang took their restless son to stop a taxi and got in. On the other side, Lu Zheng happened to drive a Grand Cherokee out of the parking lot, followed by a police car carrying the technical team.
Ji Yinhe turned around in the warm morning light and saw Lu Zheng lowering the car window. He asked with a gentle look, "Didn't you go to the interrogation?"
"No." Ji Yinhe shook his head and couldn't help laughing. "I've confessed everything. There's nothing to ask."
"It seems you prefer challenging work." Lu Zheng tilted his head towards the passenger seat. "Would you like to investigate the dismemberment scene?"
"Go!" Comrade Xiao Ji raised his eyebrows and climbed into the car happily.
The cellar where Zhou Mingyuan imprisoned Ji Junjie was where he killed and dismembered people. In addition to the body parts thrown everywhere, there were also heads and torsos, all buried in the land around the recycling station.
The lingering stench of garbage just covers up the stench of corpses and blood.
The Grand Cherokee stopped by the Tongrong River. The people Lu Zheng had transferred from the Municipal Bureau and the Public Security Bureau had already dug up most of the scene.
The remaining body parts, as well as the deceased's remaining clothes, shoes and bags, were also neatly stacked in the cleared space.
As soon as Lu Zheng and Ji Yinhe got out of the car, a technician came over to report: "We've finished excavating everything. We can invite the forensic doctor in, but..."
Ji Keji glanced at Ji Yinhe and swallowed the second half of his words.
Lu Zheng said calmly: "Just say it."
"..." The technician scratched his head, "The reproductive organs are gone."
"Oh, Ji Junjie told me on the way back to the provincial office from the crime scene." Ji Yinhe continued with a smile, "Zhou Mingyuan threw him into the river to feed the fish!"
The technician exhaled, "Okay, now that makes sense..."
Lu Zheng hummed, put on his gloves, and handed a pair to Ji Yinhe, "Then let's get to work."
Comrade Xiao Ji nodded and followed the pace of the expert from Lu University happily.
Under his patient actions, I quietly learned the knowledge of physical evidence investigation.
Although Zhou Mingyuan has pleaded guilty, the tragic scene at the scene is truly chilling.
Ji Yinhe thought silently in his heart that he would find a chance to have a good talk with such a pervert after he was imprisoned!
In this way, her criminal profiling system can be built more completely!
*
Comrade Xiao Ji's first case after arriving at the provincial department was concluded so smoothly.
The crackdown team became famous overnight, and several reporters came to interview them.
The news was broadcast back and forth on the provincial satellite TV and the municipal news station. Even Rao Zhenghao and Tang Ci, who were far away in Jiangtan, called to congratulate.
After the file was transferred to the procuratorate, Comrade Xiao Ji was completely relieved. He took advantage of his leisurely weekend to call Lao Ji and Ms. Lian.
Ji Jianguo and his wife had already heard the whole story from Ji Jianhua and Qian Fang, who came to apologize sincerely. They knew that their daughter not only caught the real murderer, but also rescued Ji Junjie and taught the vampires in the family a lesson.
So, Comrade Ji was in a good mood and asked, "Your birthday is coming soon. Do you want to go home and spend it with your parents?"
Ji Yinhe exclaimed, "Wow!" She had been so busy lately that she almost forgot about it. She flipped through the calendar in a panic, "Yeah, but Dad, that day was Wednesday, and I had to go to work..."
Lian Qiao's voice came from the receiver, "I just made a cherry blossom flavored cake. Are you really not going to come back and try it?"
"Oh..." Comrade Xiao Ji couldn't help swallowing his saliva as he thought of Ms. Lian's superb cooking skills. "I do... but work is more important! Oh, by the way, there's a great Western restaurant on Gangyue Road in Jingzhou. I'm going to buy a small cream square there next Wednesday to celebrate!"
"Well..." Ms. Lian sighed softly, "Then I'll have to take the whole cake all to myself!"
"Mom works the hardest, so of course she should eat the best food!" Ji Yinhe flattered Lian Qiao sweetly.
However, she promised her parents that she would celebrate her birthday well. But on Wednesday, the team suddenly received a case of falling death.
Ji Yinhe ran around the site all day long, and even his three meals were just steamed buns with pickles.
After I finished organizing the materials in my hands, I looked down at my watch and found that it was already past ten o'clock!
The western restaurant must be closed at this time!
Comrade Xiao Ji sighed helplessly.
It seems like I'm going to spend my 22nd birthday hungry...
She put on her bag, stood up dejectedly, walked to the door and turned on the desk lamp.
With a "click", the entire corridor fell into darkness.
However, a tall and slender figure stood quietly in front of the corridor not far away.
Even though there was only the hazy night sky before her eyes, she instantly recognized who that figure belonged to—
"Teacher Lu?" Ji Yinhe asked in confusion, "Are you still off work?"
Lu Zheng walked towards her with steady and powerful steps, and only picked up the paper box in his hand when he was in front of her.
"...For you." He chuckled, his voice swaying gently in the warm spring night, "Happy birthday to you."
"Ah, thank you..."
Ji Yinhe took the paper box, opened it and saw that inside was the cream cube that she almost missed!
"You... bought it after work?"
"Yeah." Lu Zheng nodded, shifted his gaze away from the pair of bright black eyes, took out a candle and matches from his bag, and gently lit a flame for her.
The golden-red light creates a bright little world.
Ji Yinhe suddenly felt warm in his heart, and his eyes also felt warm, as if something was sprouting from the depths of his heart and crawling towards his tear glands.
Lu Zheng smiled and reminded: "...It's time to make a wish."
"Oh..." Ji Yinhe sniffed, quickly closed his eyes, clasped his hands together like the characters in Hong Kong movies, and devoutly said a wish in his heart.
After a few seconds she opened her eyes and blew out all the flames.
There was a pause of several seconds in the darkness, and the two of them stared at each other for a moment. Ji Yinhe suddenly came to his senses and raised his hand to turn on the ceiling light.
"..." Lu Zheng coughed lightly, took a step back calmly, lowered his head slightly to cover his slightly red ears.
Ji Yinhe was completely oblivious. She carelessly cut the cake in half and said with a smile, "Guess what wish I just made?"
Lu Zheng's heart skipped a beat. "...What?"
