Gu Weimin paused here, picked up the cold tea on the table and drank it all, "We called the local police station where his two wives lived, and the police reported that they had not seen the two wives return to their parents' homes in all these years.
Therefore, I think the situation reported by the gangster should be true, and Cheng Baogen is indeed a suspect of murder.
Later we searched Cheng Baogen's house again. We dug almost three feet into the ground, but we didn't find any body.
So, I came here today to take Jiang Jiang to Cheng Baogen's house to search and see if we can find the bodies of those two women."
Chu Jingqiu thought for a moment and asked, "Director Gu, how long have both of Cheng Baogen's wives been missing? Haven't their families looked for them for so long?"
Gu Weimin thought for a moment and said, "According to our investigation, Cheng Baogen is a thief and a lazy man, so he can't find a wife locally.
Ten years ago, he followed a distant relative to the mountain province and brought back a wife from the mountains.
The family was extremely poor, so Cheng Baogen used two bags of corn and ten yuan to bring home a beautiful young girl.
His first daughter-in-law was Ding Cuicui. Shandong Province was far away from here, so Ding Cuicui's family sold her to Cheng Baogen, and the two sides rarely had contact.
After bringing their daughter-in-law home, Cheng Baogen and his mother both tortured her. Cheng Baogen loved drinking and would beat her every time he drank too much. The neighbors around could hear Ding Cuicui crying almost every day.
Less than three years after they got together, Ding Cuicui mysteriously disappeared, and Cheng Baogen told the public that his wife had run away with another man.
For this reason, he even went to his father-in-law's house in Shandong Province to look for her, but he couldn't find her.
Ding Cuicui's family thought she had really run away with a strange man.
Feeling that he could not hold his head up in the surrounding area, he broke off his relationship with Ding Cuicui.
Cheng Baogen brought back another widow from the village next to Ding Cuicui. Her name was Yan Fengcai.
She was bewitched by Cheng Baogen's sweet words and followed him back without asking for a penny of betrothal gift.
At the beginning, Cheng Baogen had restrained himself a little, and Yan Fengcai was even pregnant. Everyone thought that Cheng Baogen had really reformed this time and was going to live a good life.
Who would have thought that just when Yan Fengcai was more than three months pregnant, Cheng Baogen ran out again to drink with that group of thugs.
It is said that one time when Yan Fengcai came home drunk, he actually found a pair of women's underwear in his pocket.
Yan Fengcai started to make trouble with him, and he got angry and grabbed her hair and started beating her, which resulted in Yan Fengcai having a miscarriage.
Since then, Yan Fengcai never got pregnant again, and Cheng Baogen started beating her even more severely.
After two and a half years, Yan Fengcai suddenly disappeared. Cheng Baogen told others that Yan Fengcai had stopped living with him because of his drinking and had returned to her hometown.
Chu Jingqiu nodded. "According to that calculation, these two people have been missing for at least four years. After all these years of being exposed to the wind and rain, I think it would be difficult for Jiang Jiang to find their bodies based on the smell."
Gu Weimin frowned, "We have no other choice. The crime of murder is punishable by death.
Cheng Baogen acted like a dead pig, unafraid of boiling water, and insisted that he had not committed murder. We did not find any evidence, so there was nothing we could do to him.
Chu Jingqiu suddenly thought of the hypnotic pill that had made Yue Wenli tell the truth. She smiled and said, "Director Gu, we can try to hypnotize Cheng Baogen and trick him into revealing the whereabouts of those two women."
Gu Weimin looked at Chu Jingqiu doubtfully. "Chu Zhiqing, I've only heard of this kind of thing. I've never seen hypnosis before. Can it really work? Furthermore, testimony obtained through hypnosis cannot be used as evidence to accuse Cheng Baogen."
"I know, but we can use his explanation to find the remains of the two women. Then we'll have evidence.
We have no other options now, so we can try this method, which is also the only option.”
"Okay, without further ado, let's go now!"
Gu Weimin drove a sidecar motorcycle and took Chu Jingqiu to the town police station.
When they arrived at the town police station, Gu Weimin immediately interrogated Cheng Baogen. He questioned Cheng Baogen according to the old rules. Cheng Baogen still argued that he was cheated on by his two wives and he was the victim.
Chu Jingqiu calmly handed Cheng Baogen a glass of water and put the hypnotic pill in it.
Cheng Baogen didn't suspect anything and picked up the water glass and drank it all.
In fact, Cheng Baogen could be hypnotized just by the hypnotic pill in the space, but in order to avoid suspicion from Gu Weimin and others, Chu Jingqiu had to pretend. She took out a pocket watch from her bag and shook it in front of Cheng Baogen.
Cheng Baogen said puzzledly, "Chu Zhiqing, what are you doing? You're swaying back and forth in front of me, making me dizzy."
Chu Jingqiu tricked him, saying, "This is a lie detector game. Do you dare to stare at my watch? If you don't dare, it means you are lying and there must be something wrong."
Cheng Baogen sneered, "You can't get any useful information out of me, yet you resort to such devious tactics!
I said, I didn't kill them. They are my wives. A husband and wife are bound by a hundred days of grace. How could I bear to kill them!
Chu Zhiqing, you can test me as much as you want. I'm not afraid of my own shadow. If I say I'm not lying, I'm not lying."
Chu Jingqiu swung the pendulum and used relaxing words to induce Cheng Baogen to relax.
Cheng Baogen looked at Chu Jingqiu as if he were a fool, staring at the pendulum with disdain, turning back and forth as the pendulum swung.
Soon, his eyes became blurry, and not long after, he fell asleep leaning on the chair.
