Chapter 159 Under the Sunshine 09 Death and Debt Cleared
Chapter 9
After listening carefully to Yue Fanglin's words, Jing Jue felt that Yue Fanglin was right.
Every rumor is like a sharp knife.
Yue Fanglin said: "Now we should not dwell on why no one has come forward to identify Wang Changshou's threatening behavior. What we should do is to investigate everything and seek justice for the victim."
The judge killed Wang Changshou, and the police have to find the murderer who killed Wang Changshou.
Wang Changshou has been using his status to molest children in the local area for many years, and they want to seek justice for the children.
Jing Jue was helpless: "The debt is settled when the person dies, but how can those who were sexually assaulted and molested by Wang Changshou seek justice?"
Yue Fanglin said: "At least we should investigate clearly what Wang Changshou did and make it public so that other people in this community can know what kind of person the real Wang Changshou is. This is better than doing nothing."
Jing Jue lowered his eyes and said nothing.
Lu Changfeng noticed Jing Jue's mood and patted his leg.
Jing Jue raised his head again and calmed down.
Sometimes Jing Jue feels that being a policeman is also powerless. The bad guys are right in front of him, but they are dead while the victims are still living in pain.
Lu Changfeng and Jing Jue said: "Justice delayed is justice delayed, and at least it can bring some comfort to the victims."
Jing Jue said gloomily: "He has lived happily for decades. If he doesn't live happily for a day, there may be a victim who falls into his hands."
Lu Changfeng: "Then we should find out the truth, let it come to light, and let the hidden darkness have nowhere to hide. Wang Changshou did not die of old age, he died painfully in despair and torment. It is our responsibility as police officers to find out the murderer, but we also have morality in our hearts and our own judgment of right and wrong. This does not mean that we agree with Wang Changshou's behavior."
Yue Fanglin took over the conversation and said to Jing Jue: "This also does not mean that the judge's lynching of Wang Changshou was correct."
There is still a long way to go in popularizing legal education. One day, when traditional concepts are no longer cannibalistic and everyone unites to protect the victims instead of allowing rumors to cause secondary harm to the victims and become a topic of entertainment for others after dinner, then when someone is illegally harmed again, someone will bravely stand up.
Those who did not come forward to report Wang Changshou did not do anything wrong. They just wanted to protect themselves from secondary harm.
Lele is brave, Xiaomei and Xixi are also brave.
The man who told about being sexually assaulted by Wang Changshou was also brave.
The woman who said that she only needed my testimony was certainly very brave.
The prerequisite for protecting others is to protect yourself first.
Lele's mother, Xiaomei's grandmother, and Xixi's mother were not sensitive enough about the fact that their children were molested. However, after hearing their children confess the fact that they were molested, they showed concern and felt sorry for their children, and felt guilty in their hearts.
Jing Jue nodded: "I understand."
Yue Fanglin clapped his hands and drew everyone's attention back to the case. "Based on the results of the current investigation, we can almost assert that Wang Changshou has been molesting school-age children in the Garden Community for the past few decades. Based on this, I boldly speculate that the judge's actions this time are closely related to the recent hot topic in public opinion."
"Child molestation is a very serious social phenomenon in today's society. Many cases of molestation are hidden. For example, people like Wang Changshou are very enthusiastic about children and are even bold enough to attack children in front of their parents or relatives. No one would suspect that he is molesting children."
"Without anyone revealing that Wang Changshou was a pervert who molested children, he became the target of the judges. From the time the incident first fermented in online public opinion to Wang Changshou's death, it took only five days. I don't think the judges could have targeted Wang Changshou so quickly through online information or the information sources we have, and selected the place and method of killing him."
"So I speculate that the murderer in this case, that is, the judge, could be a child that Wang Changshou had molested, or someone who knew about Wang Changshou's molestation of children. Judging from common sense, I think the former is more in line with the logic of thinking."
Lu Changfeng said, "I support Captain Yue's point of view. It is not easy to follow the hot spots and plan a murder case in a short period of time. The situation at the scene is enough to show that the murderer did not kill in passion, but had a premeditated plan. He must have known Wang Changshou's whereabouts very well. In addition, in a situation like this where the murderer decides to kill in a short period of time, the murderer is often not well prepared and is prone to reveal flaws."
"Now our investigation can be roughly divided into three directions." Lu Changfeng stretched out three fingers. "The first line is to continue tracking Wang Changshou's whereabouts on the day he disappeared, retrieve surveillance videos along the street, and confirm his disappearance location. The second line is to continue to visit and investigate in the community, determine the list of people who were molested, and make it as detailed as possible. Those who are in the city will be the focus of observation. Those who came back before the incident and left after the incident should also be observed. Ask them for their alibis during the time period of the incident on that day, which can be verified at any time. Those who do not have a clear alibi will be investigated first. The third line is to first find out what kind of eel was taken out of Wang Changshou's body, and where it is generally common. If it is an alien species, check all the merchants selling eels in the city. If it is local, ask from many aspects where there are more eels, visit and investigate to see if there are any suspicious people who have bought or caught eels. This thing definitely did not enter Wang Changshou's intestines for no reason."
Zhou Yu immediately searched for eels when Lu Changfeng mentioned them, and added to Lu Changfeng's words in a timely manner: "Eels usually appear from May to August, with a suitable temperature between 25 and 28 degrees. They usually appear in places with dense aquatic plants and gentle currents, such as lakes, ponds, and rice fields. There are relatively few rice fields in Yangcheng, and aquatic species are not well developed. There is a lot of quicksand in the river. Only in the north of the city where there are dense aquatic plants are there more eels. Most of the local eels are shipped from other places."
Wang Changshou's body was found in an abandoned river in the north of the city, where there are many eels. The murderer was also familiar with the north of the city and Wang Changshou.
Lu Changfeng added: "We need to first determine the range of Wang Changshou's activities. Wang Changshou's range of activities plus people who frequently move around in the north of the city are the ones we will focus on investigating."
The place where Wang Changshou's body was found was too remote. The river channel had been abandoned for some years and many local people didn't know about this place. However, the murderer knew it very well and it was very likely that he lived nearby.
Captain Liang asked his subordinates: "Have you all understood the direction of the investigation determined by Team Lu?"
A room full of police officers said in unison: "Got it."
"Once you understand, take action. We are all born and raised in Yangcheng. Such a big thing has happened in Yangcheng. We must investigate this case thoroughly and give an explanation to the people of Yangcheng."
Captain Liang looked at the four members of the serious crime team and said, "Captain Yue, Captain Lu, what are your plans? Which route do you plan to investigate from?"
Lu Changfeng said, "I want to go to the crime scene first and make a decision after I come back. Without an on-site investigation, we only know that this place is very remote and we don't know the specific situation, which is not conducive to my analysis of the case."
Captain Liang immediately said, "It was my negligence. I should have arranged for you to conduct a field investigation."
Captain Liang looked at the time and saw that it was getting dark. He said, "How about this? You guys get some rest tonight. Tomorrow morning, when you're well rested, I'll take you to the site for an investigation. It's too late to go now. It's pitch black and you can't see anything."
Lu Changfeng nodded in agreement.
Captain Liang said: "Since you have come all the way to Yangcheng, we should treat you to some Yangcheng specialties. I will treat you to a meal tonight to welcome you back."
Yue Fanglin waved his hand: "Don't bother, let's eat after the case is over."
Captain Liang was also a down-to-earth person: "Okay, it's settled. We'll eat at the celebration banquet then."
After the direction of the investigation is determined, what remains is to slowly solve the problems over time, which cannot be rushed.
Yue Fanglin also does not advocate that everyone should work too hard, to avoid people getting tired before the matter is fully investigated, and reminds everyone to take a rest in time.
The next morning, the serious crime team, accompanied by Captain Liang, went to the first crime scene.
It took half an hour to drive from the city bureau.
The road passes through a small town, which is about three kilometers away from the town to the city center. There is a bus on this route.
But if Wang Changshou himself was picking up bottles, he would definitely not run so far.
Those students also knew about this place by chance. After taking the bus to the town, they walked about three kilometers to reach the abandoned bridge.
Lu Changfeng had been observing carefully along the way. After he could see the bridge hole from a distance, he asked the detachment leader: "Why is there a concrete pier bridge in such a place?"
The detachment leader said: "There are a lot of mountains in our area. There are some houses behind the mountain opposite the bridge. In the early years when there was no concrete bridge, students or villagers had to walk three kilometers up to get here and come from the narrower river channel above. It was extremely inconvenient to travel. Later, the government built roads to all villages and constructed this concrete bridge to facilitate students to go to school and villagers to travel."
"Then why is this place abandoned now?"
Captain Liang explained: "The national policy is good. We have arranged resettlement housing for those who live on the other side of the mountain. We have arranged for them to live in the town, so that their medical care, education and life can be guaranteed."
"Another reason is that many areas here are relatively dry. During the dry season, water supply in many places will be a problem, so a reservoir was built upstream to store water. On the one hand, it can prevent a large amount of silt from entering the river and causing silt accumulation in the river. On the other hand, it can improve the water supply for residents and use water to generate electricity to solve the electricity problem."
"Of course, Yangcheng no longer has electricity shortages now, and can even transmit electricity to other places, but more than a decade or twenty years ago, there were still electricity shortages."
In the world of young people, power outages are rarely seen. Even if there is a power outage, it is only because of power maintenance.
People like Captain Liang who have lived here since childhood would have power shortages when the power supply was unstable or there were too many people using electricity. At that time, every household had to prepare some candles at home as a backup.
Lu Changfeng expressed his understanding, saying that finding out the reason why the place was abandoned could help him solve the case.
