Chapter 191: The Strange Smell
Feeling the footsteps approaching her, Deng Xiuzhen tensed up with tension. The rope seemed to have cut into her flesh and she could no longer feel the pain.
Li Zhigang walked up to Deng Xiuzhen, picked her up, and turned to walk towards the window.
"Zhigang, what are you doing?" another person asked.
"Let's see if this woman can still stand. I'm going to try something new." Li Zhigang said as he started to untie the rope on Deng Xiuzhen.
The ropes on his body and legs were untied, but one hand was still tied.
Li Zhigang wrapped the rope around the window frame and pulled it again. Deng Xiuzhen felt like her hand was going to break, and she couldn't pretend anymore because of the pain.
She used her untied hands to pull the cloth out of her mouth and screamed for help.
"This is a good height!" Li Zhigang looked at Deng Xiuzhen who was hanging there with only her toes touching the ground, and an evil smile appeared on his face.
He stretched out his hand and pinched Deng Xiuzhen, and said with a lewd smile: "It feels good, cooperate with me, if I am happy, I might let you go."
As he said this, he reached out to pull Deng Xiuzhen's clothes. Deng Xiuzhen used her movable hand to slap him with all her strength.
But Li Zhigang dodged it with a quick move.
"Bangzi, this woman is a bit fierce, you should come too..."
"Bang!" With a loud bang, Li Zhigang fell to the ground.
Cai Bang felt something was wrong and ran towards the door quickly, but as soon as the door opened, he was knocked down and handcuffed.
"Xiuzhen! Xiuzhen!" Tian Guoqiang crawled into the room and untied the rope on Deng Xiuzhen's hands.
"Tian, Tian..." Deng Xiuzhen really fainted.
When I woke up, it was already the next day.
"How do you feel?" Seeing Deng Xiuzhen wake up, the accompanying female police officer hurried forward to ask.
"Where's Director Tian?" Deng Xiuzhen looked around blankly, saw the IV bottle, the infusion needle in her hand, and the hospital bed and sheets. Only then did she calm down and remember that she seemed to have seen Tian Guoqiang before she fainted, so she asked hurriedly.
"Director Tian has gone to investigate a case. How do you feel now? Can you speak? If you can, tell us about the situation." The policewoman held Deng Xiuzhen's hand to prevent her from accidentally moving around and causing the infusion needle to leak.
"Could you please call Chief Shimoda for me? I have something to tell him." Knowing that she was in the hospital and there were police officers around her, Deng Xiuzhen felt safe. But she didn't dare to trust strangers, even if they were police officers.
Tian Guoqiang came over soon after receiving the call. He told Deng Xiuzhen that Li Zhigang and his gang had all been arrested, as well as Li Xiaomei and Cai Bang.
But they all said they only caught you. As for Liu Youzhen and Tan Yanlin, they all said they didn't see them.
"Yanlin was not found?" Deng Xiuzhen panicked. Wasn't Tan Yanlin also arrested by them? They were all arrested at the same time, so how could Tan Yanlin not be found?
"Those guys are repeat offenders, and it's hard to get them to tell the truth. It's just that the woman is a little timid, and she told everything she knew, but there was nothing valuable. If we can't find Liu Youzhen and Tan Yanlin, we can't confirm that this group of people hurt them, and we can only convict you for this incident, and the crime won't be too severe." Tian Guoqiang frowned, feeling very distressed. Those guys had a strong anti-reconnaissance awareness and were not afraid of death, so they couldn't get anything out of them.
"Didn't they see Tan Yanlin?" Deng Xiuzhen asked persistently.
"That Li Xiaomei said she saw the two of you enter the alley, and then she called someone over. Then she tied you up, and she didn't see Tan Yanlin during this time.
She said she really just wanted to teach you a lesson, but who knew that these people were not human at all and had no intention of letting you live. "Tian Guoqiang looked at Deng Xiuzhen worriedly.
Then he said: "I called your phone but it was turned off, so I went to your house to look for you, and I saw someone rummaging through your house and then went to the bank to withdraw money.
I suspected that something must have happened to you, so I followed them quietly and saw them go to the old alley of West Street.
I remembered that you said Liu Youzhen also disappeared from the old alley of West Street.
We quickly dispatched police forces to quietly surround the house. We were a step slower, and you suffered so much. "Tian Guoqiang felt a little guilty.
What he didn't say was that Deng Xiuzhen could have been rescued earlier, but when he saw Cai Bang coming, he was thinking about whether he could catch a few more fish, so he delayed time.
It was not until he heard Deng Xiuzhen's screams that he gave the order to take action, fearing that something might happen. He punched Li Zhigang directly from the window.
Deng Xiuzhen described in detail how she got to the old alley of West Street, what they did there, why Tan Yanlin disappeared, and the stench that the old man complained about.
Speaking of the smell, Deng Xiuzhen suddenly remembered something in her mind, something she had always ignored: the smell came strangely and at the right time.
"Director Tian, please send someone to search the entire area immediately and don't miss any house!" Deng Xiuzhen said anxiously.
"What's wrong?" Tian Guoqiang asked.
"A few days ago, the old people said that someone used a pressure cooker to press meat, and that was when Liu Youzhen disappeared. Then there was this stench. I suspect they used another method to dispose of the body! And I heard that Li Zhigang say that the body was dismembered..." Deng Xiuzhen hurriedly told the story she had heard.
Tian Guoqiang was a very brave man, but he still felt a chill down his spine when he heard this: Cutting a person into pieces and then using a pressure cooker to cook them, this was too horrifying to even hear! He could totally believe that there were such perverted and vicious people in the world!
But every story Deng Xiuzhen told basically became the key to solving the case.
He quickly stood up and prepared to dispatch police forces to the old alleys of West Street to check every house, any house with a frame.
"Director Tian, let me go with you!" Deng Xiuzhen shouted.
"You are weak and need to rest, so don't go. Just have a good rest!" Tian Guoqiang said.
"No! I have to go!" Deng Xiuzhen pulled out the IV drip on her hand, got out of bed and put on her shoes.
"Press it down quickly, it's bleeding!" Tian Guoqiang reminded.
Deng Xiuzhen quickly pressed the needle hole, looked up at Tian Guoqiang and said, "Director Tian, let me go. I have a feeling in my heart, but I just can't grasp it. Let me go and take a look, maybe I can remember what it is."
"Well, okay!" Tian Guoqiang said after a moment of hesitation.
Soon everyone arrived at the alley of West Street, and Deng Xiuzhen saw the police conducting a carpet search.
She walked quickly to the old lady's home, not knowing how the old lady was doing. When she was arrested that day, the old lady seemed to have come out, and she didn't know if those people had hurt her.
"Grandma Liao! Grandma Liao!" Deng Xiuzhen shouted and walked in.
"Is that Xiao Deng?" The old man's hoarse voice came from the inner room.
Deng Xiuzhen quickly replied: "Grandma Liao, it's me. How are you? Are you okay?"
"I'm fine. How about you? Are you okay? Who were those people who came that day? Why did you leave with them without saying a word?" The old man was lying on the bed, his voice a little weak but clear.
