Chapter 153 Yang Xiujuan
Zhou Yi's words made everyone suddenly realize.
Yes, intellectual disability is usually either congenital or caused by brain nerve damage due to a high fever when the child is very young.
When have you ever heard of someone with intellectual disabilities developing a mental illness? Although I can't say it absolutely, generally speaking, the probability of this happening is extremely low.
Jiang Biao clapped his hands and said, "Yeah, why didn't I think of this? Zhou Yi, you're smart. I almost got tricked by him. Looks like I'll have to interrogate him again later."
When Zhou Yi said this, Wu Yongcheng was also stunned. He really hadn't thought of this. People tend to form inertial thinking, and the more experience they have, the easier it is to form it.
"Zhou Yi, tell me what you think."
"Okay, Captain Wu," Zhou Yi said. "I think Yang Xiujuan is mentally ill. I've had close contact with her, and she shows no signs of intellectual disability. She can understand what I say, but she also fiercely resists anyone approaching her. Therefore, my conclusion is that Jiang Aqing's long-term abuse and imprisonment of Yang Xiujuan has led to her severe mental illness."
"Furthermore, I even doubt whether the person imprisoned in the pigpen is actually Yang Xiujuan. This is a question mark."
Director Wang's heart tightened and he asked, "What does this mean?"
"I suspect this woman isn't Yang Xiujuan at all, but a woman from another place who was trafficked and whose name is unknown. Yang Xiujuan definitely existed and was probably born with an intellectual disability, but she might be dead. The current Yang Xiujuan was imposed on this woman by someone who used her identity."
Zhou Yi's speculation was very bold, but also very scary.
A woman was trafficked to a remote and backward rural area.
What’s even more terrifying is that no one knows her last name or given name, whose daughter or sister she is, and she has even been stripped of her own name and identity.
Like mud, she was put into a bottle named Yang Xiujuan.
Moreover, if Zhou Yi's guess was confirmed, the local cadres in Liyang County would be completely furious.
Wu Yongcheng suddenly took a breath of cold air.
Zhou Yi, who exposed this, is probably going to be put in jail.
Wu Yongcheng immediately made a silent decision that he had to take responsibility for this matter and not expose Zhou Yi.
Otherwise it will be detrimental to his future development.
I no longer care about it, since I am alone anyway.
"Ahem." Wu Yongcheng cleared his throat and said, "We need to be cautious in this direction, but we also need to investigate thoroughly. Director Wang, I'm going to have to trouble you to quickly verify Yang Xiujuan's identity."
Director Wang nodded and said, "Captain Wu, you're too polite. This is what we should do. I'll make the arrangements right away."
"If you discover this type of impersonation, please report it to me immediately. I will report it directly to Director Xie and the provincial department in the name of the Municipal Bureau's Criminal Investigation Detachment, requesting province-wide assistance in the identity check. At the same time, please ask the provincial department to contact the public security departments of various provinces to assist in investigating and verifying the identities of the missing persons."
Everyone's face was solemn. First, this was a huge investigation project. Second, if it really came to this, not only the province, but the whole country might know about it.
Apart from Wu Yongcheng, who else present had experienced such a big thing?
"Zhou Yi, you're not as familiar with Yang Xiujuan as Director Wang and the others, so let it go for now. Focus on finding Jiang Zhichao."
Zhou Yi nodded in agreement, Wu Yongcheng's deployment was also very reasonable.
Then Chen Yan talked about the interrogation of Jiang Baogen. From the results of the interrogation, Jiang Baogen knew about Jiang Aqing selling his daughter, but comparing the confessions of both sides, he should not have been involved.
As for the matter of Yang Xiujuan, Jiang Baogen's explanation was basically the same as Jiang Aqing's. They both said that Yang Xiujuan, who had mild mental retardation, was married to Jiang Aqing through a matchmaker, and was later imprisoned because she became mentally ill.
"I didn't think anything was wrong at first, but if Zhou Yi's speculation just now is the truth, then it means Jiang Baogen is lying and concealing something. There's no way he doesn't know about this." Chen Yan said angrily.
Wu Yongcheng: "Well, we need to continue questioning Jiang Baogen. Maybe we can shed some light on the matter. And it's not just Jiang Baogen. Director Wang, everyone in the village over the age of 35 should be questioned. This kind of thing can't be hidden from the entire village."
Director Wang has turned into a nodding doll in the car today, nodding constantly and then asking his subordinates to implement the orders.
However, there are more than 300 people in Sanpo Village, and at least half of them are adults over 35 years old, which is a huge workload.
But he didn't complain at all. Zhou Yi felt that Director Wang was very similar to his previous director Jin Lei. Both were good policemen who served the public and made silent contributions.
This case discussion meeting went on very quickly, and was completely different from the meeting he had just had with Village Chief Chen. Wu Yongcheng had made all the arrangements.
At the end of the meeting, Wu Yongcheng said, "Director Wang, this conference room will serve as our temporary office for the Third Brigade. I don't think we'll need to go back tonight."
Upon hearing this, Director Wang immediately said that he would have to clean up the duty room and use it as a temporary lounge for them.
But when I turned around, I found that everyone in the institute who could be assigned a job had already been assigned one.
Director Wang rolled up his sleeves and said, "I'll do it myself."
Before Wu Yongcheng could stop him, Director Wang ran out.
"You all go ahead on your own. I have to call the director." As he said that, Wu Yongcheng took out his cell phone.
"If Xiao Qiao comes back, please ask her to come here immediately so we can find out about Yang Xiujuan's situation. Oh, and remember to call Director Wang."
As soon as Zhou Yi and the other two walked out of the door, they saw Qiao Jiali rushing towards them with a plastic bag in her hand.
"Where is Captain Wu?" Qiao Jiali asked.
Jiang Biao said, "I'm waiting for you."
The four of them returned to the house. Chen Yan had just entered the door when he ran out again to call Director Wang.
Wu Yongcheng was calling Director Xie when he saw them and quickly finished his report.
After hanging up the phone, Wu Yongcheng pointed at Zhou Yi and said, "Director Xie just told me to tell Zhou Yi to go out less in the future. If you go out, you will definitely run into a big case."
Everyone knew that Wu Yongcheng was joking to liven up the atmosphere.
After Chen Yan and Director Wang came in, everyone sat down. Wu Yongcheng asked, "Xiao Qiao, tell me about the situation at the hospital."
Qiao Jiali's expression was clearly dismal. "Captain Wu, let me just highlight the key points. The doctor at the township hospital gave Yang Xiujuan a preliminary examination. She was in very poor physical condition, suffering from numerous injuries, both new and old. Besides her injuries, she also had some other obvious medical conditions, such as gynecological issues. The doctor wanted to draw blood for a test, but Yang Xiujuan's reaction was so intense that the procedure was impossible."
"The doctors at the township hospital initially diagnosed Yang Xiujuan with a severe mental illness, with signs of mental disarray, emotional agitation, and a tendency toward self-harm and self-abuse. They explained that their facilities were limited and that they could only address her external injuries. They couldn't conduct further examinations, especially regarding her mental health. They recommended that we send her to a larger hospital as soon as possible."
Such a result made everyone present feel heavy-hearted.
Wu Yongcheng said, "Then send him to the Municipal Hospital as soon as possible and find the best psychiatrist to do an evaluation."
Qiao Jiali said: "I have contacted the Third Municipal Hospital. They have agreed to accept Yang Xiujuan. They will send an ambulance to pick her up."
"Well done. Can Yang Xiujuan communicate?" Wu Yongcheng asked. If he could communicate with Yang Xiujuan directly, it would save a lot of effort in investigation.
Qiao Jiali shook her head helplessly. "I tried, but it didn't work. She would occasionally respond to what I said, but most of the time she didn't speak, and it was basically impossible to communicate. However, when the doctor was about to draw blood, Yang Xiujuan's resistance became very intense, and she even shouted a few words. Judging from her accent, it didn't sound like local dialect."
Sure enough, this matches the information Zhou Yi said.
Even if she is mentally ill and has lost her sanity, human language function is an instinct. In this case, what she said must be the dialect of her hometown.
"Xiao Qiao, go back to the hospital and accompany Yang Xiujuan to the Third Municipal Hospital for treatment. We need to learn more about her condition, especially to determine whether her mental illness is congenital or acquired," Wu Yongcheng said. "Also, find a tape recorder. If Yang Xiujuan speaks again, record her voice and consult with some language experts to see if you can identify the dialect."
Wu Yongcheng's words were quite precise. China has countless dialects, and even the most formidable experts can't be proficient in them all. You can tell where a dialect originates just by listening. However, each dialect has its own language family. As long as you determine the general direction and then seek assistance from local public security departments, it will be far more effective than searching for a needle in a haystack.
Qiao Jiali stood up immediately: "Okay, Captain Wu, I'll go right away."
"Oh Zhou Yi, is this yours?" Qiao Jiali handed the plastic bag she was holding to Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi opened it and saw that it was his coat. When he rescued Yang Xiujuan before, she was naked, so he put it on her.
As soon as the plastic bag was opened, an unpleasant smell came out, but compared with the smell in the pigpen, it was just a drop in the ocean, the tip of the iceberg.
"Zhou Yi, I really admire you. You didn't mind the dirt or the smell, and you even protected her dignity." Qiao Jiali said with emotion, "As a woman myself, I want to thank you on behalf of Yang Xiujuan."
Zhou Yi looked at his smelly and stained coat in the bag and sighed.
Wu Yongcheng clapped his hands and shouted, "Now is not the time to be sad. Don't forget our responsibilities and mission. Find out the truth and give the victim a fair explanation!"
