Chapter 029 Trigger Game Case Closure

Ye Sangsang checked the case concerning Lin Xue, not the case concerning his death, but the case in which he was imprisoned before.

If Lin Xue's situation is confirmed, then the logic of why the other party died will become clear.

Twelve days have passed since the game mission began, and Ye Sangsang still has no clue about the real murderer. Even she feels a little stressed.

The contents of the files were very complicated, and because it had been several years, it was painful to read them, just like the case of Qin Jiang's wife and children. It might be because of her generation, she was used to using electronic equipment for everything, and basically realized paperless office.

She can almost remember everything she sees. Why almost? Because she always feels that her brain is not as good as before after taking the medicine, and her memory is not as good as before, so she can no longer remember everything she sees.

As he turned the pages, Lin Xue's experience emerged.

This guy, like Killmat, was also convicted of theft, but he was in a gang and was caught red-handed and sent to prison for three years.

The opponent was just like Killer Matt, a worthy friend. When he was caught, he squatted down and held his head, and was almost beaten to death.

You know, in the early 1990s, people were quite tough.

How to say it.

It's an ordinary criminal record.

However, among the names of the gang members given, Ye Sangsang saw a name that looked familiar.

Zhao Tianman? That's how they knew each other.

Ye Sangsang felt that it was time for her to look at Zhao Tianman's file again.

After she told Gu Ling, Gu Ling arranged it for her.

After reading it, Ye Sangsang took over and continued to read Zhao Tianman's file.

Who is the real murderer that this man knows and who lived in his house? The other party is really cunning. Although he lived and slept there, he did not leave any fingerprints or hair.

The files on Zhao Tianman have even more pages. This man was imprisoned three times.

However, hard work pays off, and Ye Sangsang finally found the familiar name hidden in the other party's pile of files.

A familiar name is naturally a name that you have seen before.

"Feng Yude." she read.

Gu Ling leaned over to her head and looked at the name. "What's wrong with this name?"

"Tell me about it?" Zheng He is now particularly impressed by Ye Sangsang. Although Ye Sangsang is a newcomer, he is actually a "monster".

Of course, the word "monster" here is a compliment.

[Hurry up and tell me! I'm not smart, please tell me more clearly. ]

[Seeing Sangsang reading these files, I am dumbfounded. I also want to know.]

[Please be more straightforward, like me: Wife, please tell me! ]

Ye Sangsang looked at the two expectant people, and perhaps the audience watching the live broadcast, and slowly said: "He is the kidnapper who kidnapped and brutally killed Qin Jiang's wife and children."

Gu Ling and Zheng He were both shocked and their scalps went numb. They both looked at the file at the same time.

"In other words, Zhao Tianman and Feng Yude knew each other many years ago, and Zhao Tianman knew Lin Xue?" Gu Ling analyzed.

"So it is very likely that Lin Xue knew this Feng Yude," Zheng He stretched out his hand and pointed at Lin Xue's name. "From this point of view, the murderer's purpose in killing Lin Xue is not that simple, right?"

Ye Sangsang lowered her eyes, thought quietly and said: "I think Captain Chen might know these people, Zhao Tianman and Lin Xue, in fact, he is very familiar with them, so he chose to let us not investigate at the beginning. The murderer also knew that he knew the existence of these two people, so he deliberately killed them and let Captain Chen interfere, making this wrongful case..."

[Really, there is no last resort! ]

[If Sangsang hadn't found a breakthrough, this case would have ended like this. ]

[I apologize. I used to doubt Captain Chen, thinking that he judged Qin Jiang wrong without any evidence. I didn't expect that he was also part of the plan, and the murderer used his knowledge to do these things.]

[I am the only one who thinks that the murderer really hates Qin Jiang to the core! ]

Everyone in the live broadcast room was shocked by the sudden operation, and even Captain Chen's question had an answer.

Gu Ling and Zheng He looked at each other, and then they suddenly understood.

Many times, what they think is unreasonable may be reasonable in the eyes of others, right?

Thinking of this, they both smiled bitterly.

Ye Sangsang didn't say anything. She looked at Lin Xue and said, "There's one more thing. I guess Lin Xue is related to the kidnapping of Zhao Tianman and Qin Jiang's wife and children. It's been seven or eight years, so it's not easy to investigate. So we need to work overtime."

Captain Chen would naturally ask, but he certainly didn't know much. If he knew there was such a person who hated Qin Jiang, he would definitely not stop revenge.

So we won't get many clues by asking Captain Chen, and they still have to rely on themselves.

Zheng He and Gu Ling quickly agreed. The most direct way was to ask someone like Zhao Tianqi, who was Zhao Tianman's only relative.

Another thing is to find the kidnapper's family and get information.

Finally, all they need to do is to confirm the DNA information of the deceased.

Fortunately, the technical side is already doing the comparison. The workload is a bit large and they are also busy. We may have to wait until this afternoon or evening. They are not sure about the exact time.

Ye Sangsang and Zheng He went to investigate, while Gu Ling went to ask Captain Chen and Zhao Tianqi.

This way, we can split our forces into two groups and save time.

By the way, let Captain Chen know that this matter is not over yet.

Under the scorching sun, Ye Sangsang and Zheng He arrived at the home of Feng Yude, the kidnapper.

According to the address, the two drove directly to the community, went up to the third floor according to the address, and knocked on each other's door in unison.

The person who opened the door was a gray-haired old man. He was stunned when he saw the two people, and numbly made way when he heard that they were police officers.

"Are you here to tell me the news of my granddaughter's death?" the old man turned around and said as he walked.

Ye Sangsang and Zheng He looked at each other. Among the missing girls of appropriate age, there turned out to be the kidnapper's daughter.

Zheng He sighed inwardly, Ye Sangsang's guess was really amazing.

Although they were certain in their hearts, they could not say anything without real evidence. They could only say, "We want to know from you whether your eldest son knew these people back then."

He placed the two photos on the glass tea table in front of the old man and motioned for him to take a look.

Perhaps the old man had gone through a lot of hardships, or perhaps he was heartbroken, for he didn't say anything. Instead, he sighed and picked up the photo and put it in front of his eyes.

After looking for a while, he called to his mother-in-law in the kitchen, "Old woman, come and see if you know these two people."

A somewhat hunched figure came out of the kitchen, stood beside her husband, picked up the photo and started looking at it.

"I know him. What's his name..." She thought for a moment. "His name is Zhao Tianman. He's also a thief. The one next to him seems to be surnamed Lin. He used to goof around the streets with my unpromising eldest son."

"What? What happened?"

The old woman asked Ye Sangsang and Zheng He.

Ye Sangsang lowered his eyes and said, "They have some things to do. Let's investigate. Do you remember that your eldest son kidnapped a mother and son? What happened to these two people?"

The room fell silent for a moment. Even if he was useless, Feng Yude was still their child. When they mentioned the dead, they became more silent.

After a while, the old man sitting on the sofa spoke up, "No, that evil creature did it all himself."

“However, the police who came to investigate us also asked this question,” the old woman added.

Ye Sangsang changed the topic and asked, "During that time, have you met the two people? Or in other words, in fact, all three of them hate the husband of the kidnapped person. What is the grudge between them? Can I know?"

Although it was written in the file, she wanted to understand the actual grudge more clearly.

She felt that some things were not that simple.

The old man thought about it and remembered something. "Before the kidnapping, I didn't know about the three of them. Zhao Tianman seemed to have been arrested. I only knew that my son was close to Lin Xue. He also went out to do something. Qin Jiang seemed to be investigating them at that time. When I went upstairs once, I occasionally heard them say a few words and then stopped after they were done."

His son is dead, the old man just tells the whole story, there is no point in covering it up.

"Okay, thank you. Regarding what happened before your granddaughter disappeared, do you think there is anything unusual? Did she make new acquaintances?" Ye Sangsang asked.

When the two elderly people heard about their granddaughter, they looked a little sad. The old lady said, "I don't know much, but I know that during that period, she was holding her phone all day and smiling all the time. She went out in the evening more than half a month ago and never came back. We thought she was going to buy something, but we didn't expect that her phone couldn't be reached after she left, so we called the police."

Ye Sangsang took note of the situation and said, "As for your granddaughters, we will actively look for them..."

“La la la la…”

At this time, Zheng He's phone rang.

Zheng He stood up and subconsciously walked out to answer the phone, but his face froze in the next second and he turned around to look at the elderly couple sitting on the sofa or half leaning on the sofa in the living room.

He was a little reluctant, but still said: "The DNA results are out, and the deceased is confirmed to be your granddaughter..."

The two were a little confused and asked.

Zheng He repeated what he had just said.

The two men were sure that something had happened to their granddaughter, and tears immediately welled up on their faces.

Zheng He comforted the two men and contacted the old man's second son before leaving and returning to the team.

The clues they have now are that Feng Yude and Lin Xue not only know each other, but Qin Jiang also found out on his own what the other party was doing back then.

Maybe it was not only because of the previous grudges, but also because Qin Jiang investigated them and hindered their interests, so his wife and children were kidnapped.

The identity of the deceased was also confirmed: Feng Lian, the daughter of kidnapper Feng Yude.

"Check her call records to see who asked her out. Also, check her social software, such as Penguin, and have someone crack it to look at the chat records." Zheng He expertly arranged what he wanted to check.

The other person's phone is gone, so these are the only things I can check.

The two returned to the team, and Gu Ling also came back with the inquiry records.

"Zhao Tianqi confessed that Zhao Tianman was very close to Feng Yude and Lin Xue. The three of them seemed to have drawn a lot of blueprints and had guns in their hands. But Zhao Tianman was arrested for theft before he could do anything." She paused. "As for Lin Xue, he didn't know, but this person is not a good person. His personality and courage seem small, but he really wants money."

"They didn't intend to rob a money transport truck! It was just that Qin Jiang found out and sabotaged it before they could complete it. They held a grudge against him, so they kidnapped him. Lin Xue was definitely involved, but he was timid and cunning, so he might have defected before he killed the hostages."

Zheng He speculated.

Gu Ling nodded. "Because Qin Jiang conducted the investigation privately, not many people know about it."

"Okay, we've confirmed our guess. Let's start with Feng Lian and find out who contacted her!" Zheng He said energetically.

Ye Sangsang suggested, “We can check if anyone was with Zhao Tianman when they rented the house where the murder took place.”

If so, that would be another clue.

On Zhao Tianqi's side, Ye Sangsang picked up the portrait and the drawing board and decided to see who the other party had seen.

I was too busy before and didn't have time to make a profile of the suspect as an eyewitness.

Gu Ling and Zheng He nodded in agreement, divided the work among themselves and went about their respective duties.

Ye Sangsang walked through the corridor and found Zhao Tianqi who was still in the interrogation room.

Zhao Tianqi was obviously a little afraid of Ye Sangsang. He felt that this girl seemed to be able to read his mind and easily saw through his inner thoughts.

"Officer Shen," he spoke after a while.

Ye Sangsang sat down, put the drawing board in place, picked up the pen and put it on the drawing paper, "Come on, tell me, what does the person in Zhao Tianman's house look like."

"...Okay," Zhao Tianqi nodded and began a brief description.

His description was very vague, because although they had met and talked more than once, they were always in relatively dim light or simply sat down at the small building of the scrap factory to chat at night.

The other person was very much what he wanted, the chat was very pleasant, and he understood the dissatisfaction in his heart.

Zhao Tianqi kept talking, and Ye Sangsang didn't interrupt him. She just listened to him while the paintbrush in her hand kept moving.

Half an hour later, Ye Sangsang stopped writing.

She looked up at Zhao Tianqi, stood up, walked to his side, and handed him the drawing board in her hand, "Is this person the one you are talking about?"

Zhao Tianqi took it blankly, looked at the painting on the drawing board, and his eyes suddenly widened.

"You...how do you know he looks like this!" Zhao Tianqi looked at Ye Sangsang in astonishment and muttered, "It seems I was right that day..."

Ye Sangsang lowered her eyes, "Please check and see if there are any differences in the details."

"Oh oh oh, okay, okay," Zhao Tianqi looked at it carefully.

After a while, he shook his head. "Exactly the same. Very similar."

【Aaaaah, I'm really curious about what the painting looks like! 】

[Super intelligent system, turn the camera to me! ]

【Hurry up, I'm so curious! 】

Perhaps sensing the voice from the live broadcast room, the super-intelligent system turned the camera and aimed it at the drawing board in Ye Sangsang's hand.

【!!! How could this happen! 】

[This person…]

[So, there was nothing wrong with Sangsang's profile last time, right? ]

The portrait in Ye Sangsang's hand was exactly the same as the surveillance footage of the South Street corpse dumping that was previously described.

In other words, this person has a face similar to Qin Jiang.

This is a bit scary.

Ye Sangsang didn't say much, just turned around and left with the drawing board.

Zhao Tianqi scratched his head, not knowing how Ye Sangsang drew that picture. It was too similar.

Back in the office, Gu Ling slid her office chair over to Ye Sangsang and asked, "How about the portrait?"

"Let me see?" Zheng He put down the documents in his hand and came over.

Ye Sangsang spread his hands sideways and wrote a portrait.

The two profiles caught the eyes of the other two people. Gu Ling and Zheng He looked at each other in surprise.

These two paintings are surprisingly similar.

They all knew Ye Sangsang's ability, so she wouldn't have deliberately drawn Qin Jiang. If she wanted to convict Qin Jiang, there would be no need to create another drawing.

The existence of a second photo proves that Zhao Tianqi also saw this face.

"I understand. When the two sides were confronting each other, Zhao Tianqi might have thought that Qin Jiang would not shoot..." He thought it was a double-edged sword, so he just ran away.

Unexpectedly, Qin Jiang is a policeman, how could he allow a knife-wielding, dangerous robber to run away. He may have just wanted to restrict the other party's mobility, or maybe wanted to hit him in the thigh, but he didn't expect Zhao Tianman to run out to block the shot.

This speculation caused the two to fall silent.

I have to say, this is very convincing.

Ye Sangsang looked at the two people, "This case is a bit complicated." She pointed at the two profiles. "If my profile is correct, you can see that the two look different. This proves that the murderer is just imitating Qin Jiang, which means he has a certain ability to disguise himself."

"The clue is broken again!" Gu Ling's face was full of anger.

Zheng He's serious expression and disguise showed that they didn't even know each other's true identity.

They just tried to log into the Penguin account and found that all the records had been deleted. The account that was not authenticated by real name was cancelled half a month ago, so it was impossible to find out who the user was.

The same goes for the mobile phone number, which was an anonymous SIM card and has now been cancelled, so there is no way to check it.

Are we really going to close the case as Qin Team being the murderer?

In other words, the existing evidence cannot prove his innocence.

Zheng He put his fingers into his hair, brows furrowed. They checked around but couldn't find any breakthrough.

This case is extremely difficult.

Ye Sangsang held the profile portrait in his hand, his eyes indifferent, "Announce to the public that this case is closed and the murderer has been caught."

Without looking at the two people, Ye Sangsang chose to freeze time and performed other operations.

To confirm her guess, she tried to click the end button of the game mission.

In this holographic game, the investigator can choose to close the case at any time.

But the case must be closed after the mission is completed, such as when there is overwhelming evidence and the murderer is sentenced.

Now she wanted to try whether the game system copy identified Qin Jiang as the murderer.

She guessed, yes.

Sure enough, the next second, the game system popped up a window.

[The player has filed for case closure and is currently sorting out the evidence...]

[Evidence confirms that Qin Jiang is the murderer? ]

[Yes or No. ]

Ye Sangsang chose no and chose to report an error.

It is in the instructions for use. If you have any questions, you can choose to close the case and then report the error.

Then Ye Sangsang turned on the error report.

[The player's error report has been received... The error report is correct... Repairing...]

[Ding, the system has triggered the end of the game copy "Brutal Carnival", but there is a case report error, and the whole server is being notified...]

[Ding, repairs completed, the game copy "Brutal Carnival" has been opened for derivative deduction, and the case completion date has been increased by 10 days. ]

【Thank you to the players for fixing the internal test bug and reporting the case content. The reward is 1 attribute point. 】

At the same time, in another live broadcast room, the host of ID Internet Detective was preparing to formally submit the game copy closure.

Sitting at the desk in his office, his face was full of complacency.

He was going to take the first place in this case! He held out his finger, ready to click the button to close the case.

But what popped up was not the case closing screen, but the game announcement.

After reading the announcement, the smile on his face froze.

A new game announcement appeared in front of him.

[Ding, the new bug in the "Brutal Carnival" copy has been fixed, the game copy "Brutal Carnival" has opened derivative deductions, and the case completion date has been increased by 10 days. ]

【Thanks to the player: [Ye Sangsang] for fixing the internal test bug and reporting the case content. 】

【If you have any questions, please call Star Ring Games, the official phone number of the game is: 10092123. 】
