Chapter 224 They...
During the conversation, Deng Zhuo noticed Luo Rui's movements. He frowned slightly, but didn't take it to heart.
Seeing him walking into the bedroom quietly, he withdrew his gaze and stared at Lan Baorong in front of him.
There were not many people in the room. Apart from him and Luo Rui, there were two criminal policemen, one was his subordinate and the other was the person brought by Luo Rui, who seemed to be named Qi Lei.
Others are visiting outside, looking for the driver of bus No. 6 four years ago and the passengers who took this bus at that time.
Lan Baorong kept silent and refused to cooperate.
Deng Zhuo scratched the back of his head in distress. At this time, he heard Luo Rui's voice coming from the bedroom.
"Old Qi, get the camera! Quick!"
Qi Lei frowned and strode over.
Lan Baorong suddenly raised his head and saw someone breaking into his grandson's bedroom.
He stood up, rushed over, and said: "What do you want to do? Break into my house without my permission. I will sue you in court!"
Deng Zhuo quickly followed, Lan Baorong was already there Pushing Qi Lei away, he ran into the bedroom.
"Don't move! I now suspect that you are the murderer of Kuang Mei! I have the right to arrest you!"
Luo Rui turned around, took off the metal handcuffs very quickly, and put the other person Cuffed.
“Fuck you, why are you arresting me!”
Lan Baorong was almost seventy years old, but he was strong and resisted fiercely.
He raised his cuffed hands and prepared to put it on Luo Rui's neck, but Qi Lei immediately held him down.
The other detective who followed also quickly held down his shoulders.
Deng Zhuo looked at Luo Rui with a livid face.
Luo Rui stepped aside and let Deng Zhuo walk into the bedroom.
He saw the blue butterfly card belonging to Kuang Mei lying quietly in the half-open drawer.
Deng Zhuo's pupils tightened and he felt that all the blood in his body was flowing backwards.
For four years, everyone always thought that the high school girl Kuang Mei was overwhelmed and ran away from home, but no one expected that her personal belongings would appear in the drawer of Lan Hanwen's bedroom.
If it hadn’t been for the K301 train robbery and murder case, if it hadn’t been for Luo Rui, this blue hairpin might have been kept in this drawer forever.
In addition, there are two things inside, the girl's bracelet and the colorful keychain. Do these belong to one girl or two girls?
Is this Lan Hanwen's trophy?
Deng Zhuo remembered the question Luo Rui asked a few hours ago. He asked himself if he had compared it with other unsolved disappearances and homicides...
Thinking of this, Deng Zhuo swallowed a sip of saliva, looked behind him, and loudly ordered: "Take Lan Baorong back for interrogation!"
Half an hour later, in the interrogation room.
Lan Baorong was sitting in the interrogation chair. His expression had calmed down, but his eyes were very sharp, as if he was thinking about countermeasures.
After Deng Zhuo sat down, he read out the suspect's rights and obligations, and asked about his name, place of origin, etc.
Then he pulled out Kuang Mei's photo from a pile of documents, turned over the photo, pinched a corner of the photo with two fingers, and held it in front of Lan Baorong's eyes.
“Have you ever seen this girl?”
Unexpectedly, Lan Baorong avoided his eyes and replied, “I don’t know her!”
Deng Zhuo was not as polite as before. He slammed the table and shouted: "Look at me carefully. Are you really not familiar with me, or are you pretending not to be familiar with me?"
Lan Baorong squinted and stared at Deng Zhuo: "Officer, don't scare me. I have seen more dead people than you."
Deng Zhuo pursed his lips and said: " I know that you were a hero in the past, and you have contributed to the country and shed blood. Because of this, you should not hide the facts. Lan Baorong, your grandson Lan Hanwen is now in the detention center of Shahe County, you really Intend Ignore the law and protect him?"
"My grandson didn't kill anyone, he has mental illness!"
"Didn't kill anyone?"
Deng Zhuo took out another photo. , put it in front of his eyes: "Then tell me, where does this blue hairpin come from? Don't tell me, he is a boy, he still needs such a thing?"
"I don't know!" Lan Baorong refused to cooperate.
Deng Zhuo asked: "On May 3, 2004, it was raining that night. Where was Lan Hanwen?"
"I don't know!"
"Look carefully Look, look at her! Her name is Kuang Mei, and she goes to the same high school as Lan Hanwen. She disappeared one month before the college entrance examination, and her family had been looking for her for four years! Her parents had not slept a single day, and had been waiting for her to come back.
We extracted a trace of hair from the blue butterfly hairpin! , after DNA comparison, the hairpin does belong to Kuang Mei!
Not only that, the bracelet and key chain also come from two different girls!
What exactly did Lan Hanwen do? ! "
"I...I don't know! "
"Old man, three girls, three families, the youngest girl is only 13* years old, do you really not think about them? Their parents are still suffering! ”
Lan Baorong’s eyes quickly passed over the photo in Deng Zhuo’s hand, and then he closed his eyes tightly and gritted his teeth.
After a long time, he sighed slightly, opened his eyes, and replied: "I don't know!"
...
In the observation room, Li Nong punched the wall: "mouth It’s so tough!”
Luo Rui really wanted to go to the trial himself, but he was a guest soldier, and these cases happened in Huining City, so he had no right to host them.
The group of people walked into the conference room. The director and political commissar of the Daning branch were already waiting.
Unlike the daytime meeting, it was already late at night and the conference room was packed with people.
No one of the criminal policemen in Daning Branch could have imagined that the disappearance case would escalate into a homicide case, and the homicide case would escalate into a serial homicide case.
Of course, everything must be based on the premise of finding the body, but everyone understands that the body may be found, but no living person will be found.
After all these years, the three girls have zero chance of survival.
Deng Zhuo presided over the meeting, and photos of the three girls appeared side by side on the big screen.
They are Yan Xiao (13 years old), Tian Panpan (15 years old), and Kuang Mei (17 years old).
They disappeared on June 28, 2002, July 1, 2003, and May 3, 2004.
There is almost one disappearance case every year. The difference is that the home addresses and living areas of the three girls are not in the same place and belong to the jurisdiction of other branches.
The same thing is that they are both girls and have no strength to restrain themselves, and it rained heavily on the day they disappeared.
As we all know, crimes committed in heavy rain are particularly difficult to investigate because evidence is easily lost, road surveillance cameras are blurry, and there are very few pedestrians on the road, either holding umbrellas or walking in a hurry. The field of vision is so poor that no one will notice anyone.
In other words, if the three girls were really killed and the murderer waited for heavy rain to commit the crime, then the murderer had a certain degree of premeditation and had a strong ability to grow.
After identification by the biological laboratory, the girl Yan Xiao’s DNA was extracted from the bracelet, and Tian Panpan’s fingerprints were also found on the keychain.
What worried the police the most was that when the parents of the missing girls identified their personal belongings, they felt a huge sense of despair that made all the detectives present red-eyed.
Yan Xiao was only 13 years old when she disappeared. Her sister had made the bracelet for her. If she were still alive, she would be an adult now and would be at the age to go to college.
When her sister saw the bracelet, she immediately hugged her family and cried, bursting into tears.
Tian Panpan was 15 years old when she disappeared. When the police found her parents, they watched helplessly as the police inserted the key into the keyhole of their home. The moment the keyhole was turned, their parents' hearts were shattered!
For five years from 2003 to 2008, Tian Panpan’s parents ignored the danger, refused to listen to dissuasion, and insisted on not changing the locks. They just hoped that their daughter would be able to open the door of her home one day when she returned home.
Kuang Mei was 17 years old when she disappeared. The blue butterfly hairpin she was wearing when she disappeared was a birthday gift from her mother. When her mother saw her personal belongings when she disappeared again, she had already shed tears. Like a spring.
The atmosphere in the conference room was solemn. Deng Zhuo calmed down and said, "I just came out of the interrogation room. Lan Baorong refused to cooperate. No matter what I asked, he said he didn't know!"
The director frowned and said, "Can we get any clues from Lan Hanwen's parents?"
"Lan Hanwen's parents are in Shahe County now." After saying that, Deng Zhuo looked at Li Nong.
Li Nong stood up, took out his cell phone and shook it: "I have already called the county bureau, and our colleagues there have brought these two people under control."
Three A girl has disappeared. As Lan Hanwen's grandfather, Lan Baorong is suspected of covering up, but it is still unclear whether his parents knew about it. It is right to control the person first.
As everyone knows, some major suspects will do some very extreme things if they know that the police are investigating them.
At this time, Luo Rui said in a deep voice: "The girls' personal belongings alone are not enough to convict Lan Hanwen. The most important thing for us now is to find their whereabouts, or... Corpse!”
Everyone present was silent. Deng Zhuo gritted his teeth and said: "Let's first take a look at the situation of the other two girls when they disappeared. Let me introduce..."
"The situation we learned from the police stations in other jurisdictions is , Yan Xiao disappeared at 7:30 pm on June 28, 6 years ago. At that time, she had just returned from self-study at school.
She had just entered junior high school, and the distance between school and home was only one kilometer. They were all walking home without the company of their classmates.
It was raining heavily that day and she didn’t bring an umbrella, so she went home in the rain. During this period, she was still in a print shop because of the heavy rain. After hiding in the rain for a while in front of her door, the owner of the print shop saw her and was the only witness to the disappearance.
After that, Yan Xiao went home in the rain and never saw her again. .
The place where she disappeared was only 500 meters away from her home. There was a park next to it and a river below the park. "
Deng Zhuo paused and picked up another file. These things are all existing. When he was reported missing, there were files left.
"The next year, that is, in 2003 Tian Panpan disappeared on July 1st. Her family lives in the east of Huining City. The school is far away from home, and she usually has to take a half-hour bus ride.
Because the area was being renovated at the time, after getting off the car, she had to walk through a deserted construction site to get home. "
Speaking of this, Deng Zhuo hesitated for a moment, and then said: "These two cases were also regarded as disappearance cases at the time! ”
When Luo Rui heard this, he shook his head in disappointment.
If Kuang Mei’s disappearance can be reluctantly classified as a disappearance case, the disappearances of Yan Xiao and Tian Panpan are also classified as disappearances, which cannot be justified.
Two young girls disappeared. It cannot be said that there is no possibility at all, but the probability is very small, and the situation of being killed is the highest.
There must be negligence and dereliction of duty here. If we could investigate seriously at that time...
Catch Lan Hanwen, Kuang Mei may still be alive, and Wang Jialing will not die!
But all this is irreversible!
In the conference room, the criminal police officers in Huining City had very unhappy expressions. Although the two cases were not within their jurisdiction, they belonged to the same system, and they all looked a little embarrassed.
At this time, an old criminal police officer raised his hand and said: "As for Tian Panpan, being classified as missing, there is a reason for this."
The director nodded slightly, meaning to let him continue. Go on. The old detective said: "If I remember correctly, on July 1, 2003, it rained heavily that day, and the city was seriously flooded. The streets were flooded. I participated in the rescue. The terrain in the east of the city was very high, and many houses were damaged." It was washed away. I think the police station in the jurisdiction will treat this case as...after the flood recedes..."
Friends who often commit crimes know that it is normal for people to die in such extreme bad weather.
The director's face looked a little better and he said: "Then look for the bodies first, follow the radius where the three girls disappeared, and search around. The other thing is to look for witnesses!"
But everyone knows that several years have passed since the incident, and the places where the three girls disappeared were all in the city, not in the wilderness. If the bodies could be found, they would have been found long ago.
The director also knew that this possibility was very small, and said: "In addition, the most important thing is to pry open Lan Baorong's mouth! And Lan Hanwen, who is now in the Shahe County Detention Center, Captain Li, See if you can go back in person and interrogate me again. "
This is the shortest way and the least expensive investigation plan. As long as Lan Baorong and Lan Hanwen open their mouths, they can save a lot. funds, and the case can be settled easily.
Li Nong nodded, and he and Luo Rui rushed back overnight. As for the rest of the Seventh Squadron, they continued to stay in Huining City and participated in the search for the girls' bodies.
……
The next day, Shahe County Detention Center.
Zhou Xia slightly looked at Lan Hanwen sitting opposite, with a distressed expression on her face.
In terms of age, Lan Hanwen was actually her junior brother. When she was a junior, he had just entered the university campus.
The two met in the school library.
Lan Hanwen always sits quietly in the corner of the library every weekend, holding a book in his hand, and reads it all day long.
Zhou Xia is also a frequent visitor to the library. She went to the cafeteria for lunch at noon. When she came back, Lan Hanwen was still sitting there, motionless, without eating lunch.
At first, she thought that the other person’s family conditions were not good. Once, she packed a box of food in the cafeteria and gave it to him.
But who knew, when he raised his head, she found that his face looked very much like his father when he was young.
Zhou Xia was stunned at that time. Her father was also a poor student and couldn't have enough to eat.
The two got to know each other like this, and over time, their relationship became closer and closer.
She likes this junior brother, and often asks herself in her heart, is she in a romantic relationship, and is she normal?
When she introduced Lan Hanwen to her father, her father was also stunned at the time. The two even compared some things in front of the mirror, and they were indeed very similar.
Lan Hanwen's academic performance was outstanding, and Zhou Xia's father gradually fell in love with this boy.
But the two have not confirmed their relationship!
On the eve of graduation, Zhou Xia took the initiative to show her goodwill and opened a hotel room. She also bought aromatherapy and pajamas for this purpose, but Lan Hanwen did not come, which shocked her.
She knew that Lan Hanwen's demand was very strong, otherwise he would not have hugged her and raised and lowered his hands in the corner of the library.
That kind of animal-like outburst made Zhou Xia obsessed.
After that, Zhou Xia and Lan Hanwen spent less time together and away from each other due to graduation work reasons, but the practical step never happened.
Lan Hanwen's personality was very introverted and quiet, and he rarely made dates with himself. Zhou Xia remembered that the only two dates he proposed were both on rainy days.
Would you like to relax outdoors on a rainy day?
Zhou Xia wanted to agree, but due to working hours, she did not attend the appointment.
This time, Lan Hanwen was in jail, and Zhou Xia thought that she had to rescue him no matter what.
“You suffered!”
Lan Hanwen shook his head and said with a smile: "Thank you, senior sister."
A smile also broke out on Zhou Xia's face: "Don't say thank you to me, no matter what, I will help you! Why are you You have never told me that you suffer from schizophrenia?"
Lan Hanwen tilted his head and said in deep thought: "I'm afraid you will leave because of this. Fire me."
"Fool, how is that possible!" Zhou Xia promised: "When you come out, if you don't want to take the prosecutor's exam, come to our law firm."
Lan. Han Wen grinned: "I still want to be a prosecutor and bring the most vicious criminals to court. This is my ideal."
Zhou Xia frowned: "I know, but..."
Lan Hanwen leaned forward. "Sister, believe me, I didn't kill anyone!"
Zhou Xia smiled bitterly: "I know, otherwise I wouldn't be here. It's good to be a prosecutor. As long as you are proven innocent, I won't Keeping a record of the case is not enough, we have to sue the Shahe County Bureau.
Only if the matter gets bigger will your dream of being a prosecutor be realized.”
"That's necessary!"
"By the way, the court date has been set, in one month."
Lan Hanwen nodded: "Don't worry, I'm waiting."
Zhou Xia took a deep breath and stood up. : "Take care of yourself and take good care of your body."
"I know, senior sister."
Zhou Xia walked out of the detention center and took back her personal belongings at the counter. After turning around, she I saw two people walking in.
Both of them were wearing uniforms, and one of them, he knew, was dark-looking.
"Officer Luo?" Zhou Xia held her briefcase and walked over to greet him.
Previously, Luo Rui and Li Nong returned to the county bureau and explained the situation to Lu Kangming. They changed into uniforms, notified the detention center, and immediately came to interrogate Lan Hanwen.
I didn’t expect to meet Zhou Xia here.
Before Luo Rui spoke, two more people ran in from outside the door.
Zhou Xia squinted slightly and saw that it was Jiang Gang, the prosecutor in charge of the case, and his partner.
As a result, she frowned and her eyes became alert.
"Jiang Jian, what are you doing?"
Luo Rui took over the conversation and said, "Lan Hanwen is being interrogated!"
A flash of light flashed in Zhou Xia's eyes Doubt: "Looking at your battle, are you going to be tough?"
Luo Rui smiled slightly: "Lawyer Zhou, I think you are overthinking. We are interrogating Lan Hanwen because of other cases!"
"Other cases?" Zhou Xia was surprised and walked forward. A few steps.
"I tell you, Lan Hanwen is innocent. If you force a confession, I will accuse you then!"
Luo Rui stared at her and asked: "Do you have any Have you ever gone out on a date with Lan Hanwen on a rainy day?"
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Xia was stunned, her eyes were filled with confusion. She didn't understand why Luo Rui asked this question.
Only she and Lan Hanwen know the relationship between the two best, and this is not involved in the case. How did Luo Rui know?
Seeing Zhou Xia stunned, Luo Rui looked directly into her eyes and said word by word: "You are so lucky to be alive until now."
After saying that, the group of people Show your ID and documents at the counter, and then walk into the interrogation room under the guidance of the guards.
When Zhou Xia came back to her senses, they could no longer be found.
Half an hour later, Lan Hanwen was brought into the interrogation room.
When he saw Luo Rui, his body stiffened slightly, but immediately became relaxed again.
Because Lan Hanwen has a mental illness, the walls of this interrogation room are covered with soft cushions, and his feet, hands, and waist are restrained.
If something happens to him here, things will become difficult to say.
Luo Rui did not give him a pair of movable handcuffs like he did during the first interrogation, but kindly gave him a glass of water to relax him.
If there were no disciplinary requirements, due to his status, he would have wanted to step forward and punch Lan Hanwen directly.
He believed that people without faith would never be able to endure it.
But it’s not legal!
Besides, if you dare to do this when the facts are unclear, what if the suspect is innocent?
You know, no one knows this better than Detective Nie.
In addition to the recorder, Luo Rui and Li Nong sat at the table. Jiang Gang and his partner each took a chair and sat behind them.
The four people were sitting at attention, and the police and prosecutors were interrogating them together. This battle was a bit big.
Lan Hanwen's eyes were filled with uncertainty as he stared at Luo Rui and Li Nong.
But both of them were preparing the information on the table, saying nothing or looking up at him.
And there was no eye contact between the two people. They seemed to be busy with what they were doing.
Luo Rui was writing something with a pen, and Li Nong was answering the phone, nodding from time to time. After talking about important things, he got up and walked to the corner to discuss something with the prosecutor.
Time passed so slowly, and the interrogating police officer didn't ask a word.
Lan Hanwen was getting more and more irritated. He licked his lips and couldn't help but ask: "What...what do you want to ask?"
Luo Rui raised his head and glanced at him A glance, but still no words.
Lan Hanwen clearly saw that the other person's eyes were like looking at a death row prisoner, disgust, hatred?
No, but indifference.
Lan Hanwen swallowed, trying to calm down.
Until half an hour later, the temperature in the interrogation room was getting hotter and hotter, and his mood was getting more and more irritable.
He couldn't help but say: "What on earth do you want to do? I am innocent! I am unjust!"
But still no one paid attention to him.
Until sweat broke out on his forehead and he felt more and more anxious, the door of the interrogation room suddenly opened.
Luo Rui shouted something outside, and a police officer ran over and handed him a pile of information.
Then Lan Hanwen saw two guards from the detention center passing by the door with a person between them.
The expression on the face of the suspect being escorted by the guards was calm, but his eyes glanced towards the interrogation room...
After the two looked at each other, Lan Hanwen's pupils dilated sharply. , his face was ashen...
And Luo Rui gently closed the door of the interrogation room.
He turned around and looked back at the demon's face...
