Chapter 44: Teenager's Elegy 22: A Missing Link
Chapter 22
Yue Fanglin passed the interrogation record sent by Captain Zhao to Wang Qi, who passed it to his partner, who then interrogated Sun Junwei based on Captain Zhao's interrogation testimony.
One thing within another.
However, they still have no clue who poisoned Tang Wenxuan and five others.
The nights in the mountains are dark and quiet.
This kind of darkness can completely swallow people up, leaving you pitch dark when you stretch your hand out, and not seeing the stars or the moon when you look up.
Faced with multiple testimonies, Sun Junwei continued to deny it and demanded that the police produce evidence, arguing that failure to do so would be defamation against him.
He had no direct contact with the Jiang family, nor did he give any money to the Jiang family from his account.
The person involved with the Jiang family is Lou Xingning, but Lou Xingning has already fled abroad due to embezzlement, so there is no evidence at all.
The person who had contact with the Jiang family from the beginning to the end was Lou Xingning. There is no direct evidence to prove whether Lou Xingning was instructed by Sun Junwei.
Therefore, Sun Junwei has the right to remain silent unless the police can provide evidence to prove that he was the one behind everything.
The serious crime squad was not too surprised after learning the results of the interrogation.
Even if such a thing were to be done, it would be impossible for the person himself to do it in person.
Sun Junwei's son is now in a vegetative state and there is no way he can speak. Lou Xingning has fled abroad and there is no way he can come out to testify.
Lu Changfeng said: "Send someone to find Lou Xingning's family members to see if they know anything. Maybe we can get some evidence from them."
"There are also people who have been keeping an eye on Fang Shengjie's family for more than a year. If we follow this line of inquiry, we may find something."
Yue Fanglin said, "Someone has to negotiate with the Jiang family about these things. Even if Lou Xingning is a scapegoat, someone should help him complete these things. All the people who were close to Lou Xingning should be investigated. The managers and staff of the resort at that time can also be questioned one by one."
Lu Changfeng nodded in agreement: "There will definitely be traces of what has been done. If we follow the clues, we will always find something. Fang Shengjie has evidence that Sun Junwei's son raped Jiang Yue."
If the evidence is true and can be used, it can also confirm the authenticity of the testimony of Fang Shengjie and others.
Before dawn the next day, everyone had gathered at the police station.
Wang Xuze's father led them to the back mountain where Jiang Yue was buried.
Jiang Yue's grave is just a simple little mound of earth, without even a tombstone. The grave is covered with weeds. Even if someone passes by, they will just think it is a small mound that has been there for who knows how many years.
Lu Changfeng and his colleagues brought tools. There was not even a coffin in the grave. When the grave was built, they just used a piece of plastic sheet to wrap Jiang Yue up, dug a hole and buried her on the spot.
After digging only half a meter down, they found the plastic sheet wrapped around Jiang Yue.
The back mountain is a shady slope with little sunlight, a lot of fog in the mountains, and sufficient surface water. The plastic sheeting wrapped the body quite tightly, and the moisture in the soil seeped into the plastic sheeting, forming local corpse wax, which was very helpful for forensic autopsy, as the corpse wax could preserve a large number of traces on the body.
The medical examiner put the body and the plastic sheet into a body bag and took it back to the bureau for an autopsy.
The serious crime squad had almost finished investigating everything in Bailong Town, and returned to the city with several members of the Tangma family involved.
Jiang's father was also transferred to the Qiancheng City Bureau by Captain Zhao and his men.
Now we are waiting for the forensic autopsy results to reconstruct what happened to Jiang Yue.
When the serious crime team returned to the Qiancheng City Police Station, Sun Junwei had already been released because the summons time had expired.
He said nothing during the 24 hours he was summoned by the bureau for investigation.
During the meeting, Wang Qi's partner expressed his concerns. "If we can't prove that Sun Junwei is related to this case, it's impossible to summon him for investigation. His son is now lying in the hospital in a vegetative state. Even if we can prove that his son killed Jiang Yue, we can't pay a heavy price for it because he is already a vegetative state. We can't put a vegetative person in jail. I think we should be prepared to prepare new identities for Fang Shengjie's family and be ready to send them out of Yancheng at any time."
Yue Fanglin and Lu Changfeng nodded in agreement. "Your idea is correct. We do need to make preparations for both scenarios. Let you take charge of this matter."
Wang Qi said: "Don't worry, we will take care of it."
Lu Changfeng: "We should remind Fang Shengjie about this in advance." He asked Wang Qi: "Did the people who went to Fang Shengjie's house to protect him have any new news?"
"They are not squatting and guarding Fang Shengjie, but they have demarcated an area by locating their mobile phones. Once the Fang family leaves the area they have circled, they will immediately get the news and rush to intercept them." Wang Qi replied: "We plan to take Fang Shengjie's family out of the city to lure them out."
After investigating the case so far, it is almost certain that the judge targeted Tang Wenxuan and the other four because they brutally murdered Jiang Yue, and Jiang's father and the people in the town all sacrificed Jiang Yue for their own interests.
Continuing the investigation along the line of Jiang Yue, we found out what Sun Junwei's son did to Jiang Yue, and then found out that Fang Shengjie was threatened.
What they have to do now is to get to the bottom of Jiang Yue's affairs. First, they have to get the evidence from Fang Shengjie, and second, they have to find out whether Sun Junwei is behind this.
After the meeting, Lu Changfeng and Zhou Yu went to the hospital for treatment. After such a long time, their illnesses were not considered serious, but they had not recovered.
After examination at the hospital, both of them were given intravenous drips.
While on IV drip, Lu Changfeng and Zhou Yu began to review the case information.
Soon Lu Changfeng discovered some problems from the evidence currently available.
He said to Zhou Yu who was standing beside him: "If I remember correctly, this case started with Jiang Yue's death and ended with the five families discussing compensation with Jiang Yue's father. There is still a missing link in the middle."
Zhou Yu thought about it carefully, but couldn't figure out what was missing: "No, there is no problem with the entire logical chain."
Lu Changfeng asked: "How did Jiang Yue's father know that his daughter was killed by the son of the Tang Ma family?"
Jiang Yue's body was in the back mountain. If no one saw it, how would he know?
The people in the Thomas family would not be stupid enough to go to their house and confess, holding such a big handle in their hands.
The investigative perspective of this case was voluntarily stated by Wang Xuze's father, and then the testimonies of the Tang Ma family and the confession of Jiang's father confirmed the authenticity of what Wang Xuze's father said.
From yesterday to today, they have experienced so many things that they have no time to calm down and sort out the existing evidence and fill in the gaps.
Zhou Yu carefully thought back to the information he had received during this period and said, "This link is indeed missing."
Lu Changfeng immediately called Yue Fanglin.
Originally, Yue Fanglin and Jing Jue were going to go to the hospital with the two of them, but Lu Changfeng felt that he and Zhou Yu could help each other, so he kept them in the bureau and would pass on any news.
Yue Fanglin answered the call quickly and asked, "Is everything going well for you in the hospital?"
Lu Changfeng said: "Everything is going well. Zhou Yu and I are both applying the medicine and will go back after we are done."
"That's good." Yue Fanglin asked, "Then why did you call me?"
"Go find Jiang Yue's father and ask him how he knew that Jiang Yue was killed by five people led by Tang Wenxuan."
"Okay, I'll take Jing Jue to ask now."
Lu Changfeng hummed, "Okay, then I'll wait for your news."
After Yue Fanglin hung up the phone, he met Jing Jue's worried gaze and said, "Captain Lu and Xiao Zhou are fine. Come with me to find Jiang Yue's father and find out some information."
"Captain Lu, do you have any new suspicions?" Jing Jue asked.
Yue Fanglin and Jing Jue walked together and said, "He asked me to ask Jiang Yue's father how he knew that his daughter was killed by the son of the Tang Ma family."
Jing Jue thought about it and realized that there was indeed no answer to this question. Only those who had experienced it could know the answer.
Jing Jue followed Yue Fanglin to meet Jiang Yue's father.
"Wang Xiaoya told me."
Yue Fanglin asked: "Who is this Wang Xiaoya?"
Father Zhou: "She has a good relationship with Jiang Yue, but they are not in the same class. Her home is behind ours. She goes to school with Jiang Yue every day and goes home together after school. That day, she waited for Jiang Yue to finish school together. Jiang Yue asked her to go first, so she went first. Later, she realized that she forgot to take the key to her house, so she went back to school to get the key. She saw Jiang Yue being dragged away by Ma Shanping and Tang Wenxuan, so she followed them. As a result, she saw what happened and ran to my house to tell me."
"Where is Wang Xiaoya now?"
Father Zhou shook his head: "Wang Xiaoya's father took the bribe and promised not to tell anyone about the matter. After graduating from junior high school, we don't know where her family went."
After walking out of the detention center, Yue Fanglin immediately called Wang Qi and asked him to help look up Wang Xiaoya's information to see if he could contact this girl, who was very important to their investigation of the case.
After receiving the news, Wang Qi immediately sent someone to investigate.
According to the information, Wang Xiaoya has changed her name. Her mother's surname is Song, and she is now called Song Yuting.
Her mother married and moved to Bailong Town from another place. Now the whole family’s household registration has been moved out of Bailong Town and settled in her mother’s hometown.
Wang Qi contacted Wang Xiaoya's mother Song Fanglan, who worked with her husband in a factory in the coastal area.
Upon learning that it was a call from the police because of Jiang Yue's matter, Song Fanglan hung up the phone directly and refused to answer further calls.
Wang Qi had no choice but to find Song Fanglan through the local police and ask her to cooperate with the investigation.
After all this trouble, Lu Changfeng and Zhou Yu returned to the bureau, and Wang Qi had just found out about Wang Xiaoya's current situation.
She no longer continued her studies and instead went to a makeup training institution to learn makeup. Song Fanglan gave them Wang Xiaoya's latest contact information.
Based on this contact information, Wang Qi called Wang Xiaoya.
After a long communication with Wang Xiaoya, she was willing to tell what happened that day.
It’s basically the same as what Jiang’s father said.
Wang Xiaoya witnessed the crime. She dared to go to Jiang Yue only after Tang Wenxuan and others left. But Tang Yue was already dead. She took a shortcut to find Jiang Yue's father. Jiang's father went into the mountains with her. When they returned, Jiang Yue was already dead.
Wang Xiaoya wanted to call the police, but Jiang's father held her down and forbade her to do so. He sent her home and told her not to tell anyone about it, saying it was for her own good.
At that time, Wang Xiaoya was also frightened by this incident. She followed Jiang Yue's father's arrangement and went home without telling anyone about it.
Wang Xiaoya was still confused and had no idea what was going on until late at night when Jiang's father and the Tang Ma family came to her house. They forced her father to accept the money and told her not to tell anyone, otherwise their family would pay a heavy price.
Under such circumstances, even if Wang Xiaoya knew the truth of the matter, she did not dare to say anything.
The family could only wait for an opportunity to plan to leave. They changed their names, their household registration information, and cut off contact with everyone they had before.
According to the investigation of the police officers in the bureau, Wang Xiaoya's identity showed that she had not returned to Zhengcheng in the more than one year since she left.
Wang Qi also asked her if she knew what had happened to Jiang Yue. Wang Xiaoya said that before Jiang Yue was killed, she knew nothing about it. It was only later that she heard them talk about it and learned what had happened to Jiang Yue.
