Chapter 103: No Daylight 32 The New Year is all about happiness. …
Chapter 32
Yang Chuan is brought to justice, and it will be New Year's Eve in two days.
Jing Jue asked Lu Changfeng: "Should we go back to Yancheng to celebrate the New Year, or stay here?"
"Let's go when we can buy tickets."
It is very difficult to buy high-speed train tickets or air tickets during the Spring Festival travel rush, unlike normal times when you can just go wherever you want.
Jing Jue didn't care. As long as he could be with Lu Changfeng, it didn't matter where he spent the New Year.
I bought the plane ticket for the morning of New Year's Day, returned to Yancheng in the afternoon, and was able to pick up Chunlai in the evening to celebrate the New Year together.
Zhou Yu had created a database before, and according to the information provided by Yang Chuan, he found the posts that Yang Chuan had posted that year from his past speech records.
After screening all the comment IDs under several posts, a person named Light of Justice came into Zhou Yu's sight.
After further investigation, we found that the Light of Justice was very active in the forum, and his findings were found under the posts of several cases involved in the past.
Zhou Yu found out his current location based on the IP address, which was in Jinhai next to Yancheng.
While Jing Jue and Lu Changfeng were still staying in Yancheng to communicate with Yang Chuan because they couldn't buy tickets back to Yancheng, trying to get more information about the judge from him, Zhou Yu and Yue Fanglin set out for Jinhai. With the cooperation of the Jinhai police, they brought this light of justice back to the police station for investigation.
The Light of Justice’s real name is Liu Ben, he is 42 years old this year. He used to have a good job in a multinational company. After working abroad for several years, he bought a villa worth seven million in Jinhai. At that time, he was the most famous person.
Unexpectedly, seven years ago, when he was 35 years old, he was laid off by a multinational company. However, due to his age, many companies did not recruit employees over 35 years old, or could not give him the salary he wanted.
After a long time, the savings were almost exhausted, and it was difficult to maintain the high standard of living. The house mortgage payments were stopped and people were put on the list of dishonest persons.
Now he has no house and is renting an old, run-down house on the outskirts of the city, making a living by delivering takeout.
In his spare time after delivering food, he is active in the Qingsheng Forum.
After bringing the man back to the bureau, Zhou Yu immediately checked all his electronic devices and found a large number of chat records in them. It was not difficult to see from these chat records that he was also a person who believed in fighting violence with violence.
"Light of Justice, why did you give yourself such a name?"
"Just take it as you like. It's justice. Who doesn't want it?"
Yue Fanglin: "I see that your past chats are full of hostility. The way to solve injustice is to kill the people who create injustice. Everything can be solved by killing. Is this what you call justice?"
Liu Ben said: "It's just something I said online. I didn't really kill anyone."
Zhou Yu pulled up his past speech records in several cases. "Just talking about it, how could it be such a coincidence that it is related to the case that the judge has recently committed? From the chat records, we can also see that you attach great importance to those who share the same views as you. You actively discuss various types of unfair incidents with them, and your words are full of the purpose of fighting violence with violence. There are thousands of people who have private messages in your backstage chat alone."
"I was just expressing my own opinions and didn't actually kill anyone. This at most means that I'm an internet troll. Is this against the law?"
Yue Fanglin showed Liu Ben the posts related to several recent cases handled by the judge. "There are messages from you under the posts related to these cases. How do you explain this?"
"I have been active on the forum for a long time. There are only so many posts published on the forum every day. As a highly active user of the forum, I read and comment on almost every post. Isn't it too arbitrary for you to think that I am related to these cases based on these facts?"
Zhou Yu listed the chat records of his private contact with others one by one: "From your chat records with other people, it is not difficult to find that you first connected with them privately and became friends with them. Every day, you shared some posts of the day through private messages in the background. After he became completely familiar with you, you added his contact information and switched from contacting on the forum to contacting on other social software."
"And the people you chose have highly similar opinions and views to yours. If you are really just highly active on the forum as you said, why did you switch chat platforms to contact these people? What did you talk about after switching platforms?"
"That's all we can talk about. We switched chat platforms to better communicate," Liu Ben explained. "As you can see, we share the same views and had a very good chat. There's nothing wrong with exchanging contact information."
"I have exchanged contact information with thousands of people, and I have had good chats with thousands of people. Can I still chat with so many people I have good relationships with?"
Liu Ben: "It's not like I'm in contact with thousands of them at the same time. As time goes by, friends from different periods of time also change. Some people become quiet and some people occasionally send a few messages. What can't I talk about?"
"Then how do you explain that these people have joined the organization of the Inquisitors?"
The people in the overseas chat group they discovered some time ago came from all walks of life and different professions, but what they had in common was that they were all veteran users of suicide forums.
The person who invited them to the group had a good chat with them in the comment section of the forum, and then they started chatting with them via private messages. After they became familiar with each other, they exchanged contact information. After a while of chatting well, they were invited to a large group, where everyone chatted together. Then they were managed to chat with them privately, step by step, until they were guided to join a small group of independent judges.
The time from being selected to being confirmed to join the judges is very long. They will also examine the new members to confirm that their ideas are exactly the same as those of the judges, and would rather have no one than have someone who is not qualified.
Everyone who joins the Judge has gone through layers of tests.
Almost all of those who joined the Inquisitors had their own stories. They encountered different difficulties and were treated unfairly in different time periods.
For example, Liu Ben, who is sitting in front of them, had a very generous annual salary before he was laid off by the multinational company. He would not have been among the layoffs in normal circumstances, but because his competitor was more favored by the regional president, he was put on the layoff list.
Zhou Yu had previously recorded the IDs of those who joined the Judge on the suicide forum, and the overlap rate was very high with the list of private contacts found by Liu Ben.
Eight of these people had private contact with Liu Ben, exchanged contact information with him, and then Liu Ben pulled them into the large chat group.
"You can say that I'm giving you a chance. But if you insist on not crying until you see the coffin, don't regret it when the time comes."
Now this series of evidence is enough to prove that Liu Ben is a member of the Judges. In their organization, his main responsibility is to discover potential members who may become their members.
Yue Fanglin said: "If we don't have solid evidence, we won't arrest anyone rashly."
The two sides were in a stalemate for a long time, and Liu Ben was defeated.
"As you can imagine, I am indeed a member of the Inquisitors. In the organization, I am responsible for finding those who may be developed into members through forum discussions."
Yue Fanglin asked: "Who is your superior? What is his position? What is his main responsibility?"
Liu Ben said: "My superior is the group leader. As for the group leader's superior, I don't know. I am only responsible for finding people who can be developed into an organization. I am not responsible for anything else. I pull these people into the group, and my task is completed. After these people join the group, others will be responsible for assessing and observing them to see if they can become a member of the judge."
Zhou Yu opened Liu Ben's phone and asked him, "Who is your superior?"
Liu Ben found the contact information of that person and said, "It's him. I don't know anything else."
"How did you join this organization?"
Liu Ben said: "In my early years, I often hung out on Tieba. I accidentally discovered this forum, and then I registered as a user of the forum. I was quite active in the forum. Later, someone often contacted me privately, and we gradually got to know each other. During the process of getting along, he revealed the news of the Judge to me bit by bit. I recognized the concept of the Judge and was developed into a member of the Judge, becoming a discoverer responsible for developing and expanding the team."
"But I don't know much about the organization. Although I hate evil, I don't dare to kill anyone. Over the years, I have only been responsible for helping to develop and expand the team. I have never participated in any killings."
Zhou Yu asked, "Do you know your superior's private information?"
Liu Ben shook his head: "I don't know. We usually don't reveal personal information to each other."
Zhou Yu was not particularly worried about this. Nowadays, all chat software has real-name authentication, so it is not difficult to find the other party's personal information.
Yue Fanglin informed Lu Changfeng of the progress they had found, and Lu Changfeng breathed a sigh of relief.
After going through several cases, from the very little information in the beginning to gradually discovering the members of their organization, following the clues bit by bit, one day, we will be able to get to the bottom of them. Whether these people hiding in the dark are human or ghost, the truth will come out one day.
The person was taken back to Yancheng Detention Center for detention, and Yue Fanglin and Zhou Yu were able to return home and spend the New Year with their families in peace.
Yue Fanglin took a lot of videos of spring for Lu Changfeng.
Chunlai didn't feel uncomfortable at all in Yue Fanglin's house. Yue Fanglin's mother also liked kittens very much. She prepared a lot of delicious food for Chunlai and played with Chunlai using a cat teaser.
On New Year's Eve, Wang Qi wanted to invite Lu Changfeng and Jing Jue to his home for dinner. Lu Changfeng thought it would disturb them too much and politely declined, but Wang Qi insisted on taking them to his home to celebrate the New Year. After Wang Qi invited them again and again, Lu Changfeng couldn't refuse. He took Jing Jue to buy some things and followed Wang Qi home for the reunion dinner.
The New Year’s Eve dinner was very splendid, with a table full of dishes. It had been a long time since Lu Changfeng had a New Year’s Eve reunion dinner with such a festive atmosphere.
Mingtang did not have a holiday for the Chinese New Year this year. His parents spent the New Year with him in Chuncheng. Mingtang's mother prepared a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner. Under the guidance of Mingtang's mother, Qiu Shaoyang made braised prawns.
Yue Fanglin's ex-wife brought her children to his house to have New Year's Eve dinner with him and his mother.
Zhou Yu, his wife and daughter spent the New Year's Eve reunion at his father-in-law and mother-in-law's home.
Each family’s New Year’s Eve dinner has its own characteristics, but what remains unchanged is the affection and warmth of family reunion.
Seeing that they were all posting pictures of their New Year’s Eve dinner, Lu Changfeng couldn’t help but take photos and send them to the group to share with his friends in the Serious Crime Squad and the former Serious Crime Brigade.
After the New Year’s Eve dinner, Wang Qi’s wife wanted to take the children to their grandparents’ house. Lu Changfeng and Jing Jue didn’t want to stay any longer, so they took a taxi back to the hotel.
When they passed by the river bank and saw someone setting off fireworks, they got out of the car early.
Fireworks are set off in many places during the Spring Festival, and corresponding policies have been introduced in various places one after another.
Instead of setting off fireworks everywhere, which is difficult to manage and creates safety hazards, it is better to concentrate them in one area and designate areas where fireworks can be set off. People can set off fireworks freely within the area where fireworks are allowed, and will be fined if they set them off outside of this area.
Concentrating them together is convenient for control and also satisfies those who want to set off fireworks.
Jing Jue ran to the fireworks stall and looked at the dazzling array of fireworks on the stall. The urge to set off fireworks reached its peak.
Lu Changfeng walked over slowly and said, "If you want to release it, just let it go."
As he said this, he picked out a few larger ones.
The boss recommended this to Lu Changfeng: "This one looks really good when it's released. It's selling really well this year. It looks like a peacock spreading its tail. Believe me, you won't regret it if you release it."
"If it doesn't look good, I will come and settle the score with you."
The boss patted his chest and said, "Go ahead and put it up. If it doesn't look good, I'll give you my money back."
After carefully selecting, Lu Changfeng took out fireworks worth more than 500 yuan. Jing Jue said, "Isn't that a bit too much? Just enjoy it for a while."
"The New Year is all about having fun." Lu Changfeng stuffed the things into Jing Jue's hand, asked the boss for two lighters, and walked towards the riverbank.
