301. Chapter 300 Looking for the Corpse


Chapter 300 Looking for the Body

The muscles in the corners of Zhang Xiaolong’s eyes twitched, and he said word by word: "I know where the victim’s body is..."

The interrogation room suddenly became quiet. , only the sound of heavy breathing came and went.

Half of Zhang Xiaolong’s face is in shadow and half is under bright light.

He stared at Luo Rui closely, the corners of his mouth raised, and his head involuntarily raised a few points, completely losing the previous fear and humility.

Zhang Xiaolong seemed to have been waiting for these earth-shattering words for a long time, with teasing, anticipation and great excitement in his eyes.

Friends who often commit crimes should know that whether it is at a wine table or in prison, once you hear someone bragging about the things they have done, such as killing someone, , where the body was buried, etc., you must listen attentively and write it down carefully in a small notebook.

This is a life-saving charm!

Especially in prison, there are many such things. Reporting and meritorious service is the best opportunity to reduce the sentence for meritorious service.

Your sentence may be shortened by several years and you may be released from prison early.

Zheng Rong relied on Zhang Xiaolong's criminal evidence and went all the way to pry out the clues of "122 Extraordinary Serial Murder Case" from Zhang Xiaolong. At this time, when the other party finally said it, his whole demeanor completely changed.

From the initial confidence, to now I feel timid and a little afraid of Zhang Xiaolong.

This kind of psychological change, simply put, is the change of attack and defense.

Whether it is an interrogation, a conversation with the boss, or a regular diplomatic meeting, it is a verbal and psychological competition between the two parties. Of course, when the police face a suspect, it is the pressure of the entire judicial system on natural persons. There is a huge gap, and it is difficult for anyone to stabilize their psychological defense.

But Zhang Xiaolong knew how important the clues he had were, so he dared to set fire. Even if he burned people to death, he could still survive.

It's like two goalkeepers kicking the ball at each other, each having to guard the net behind them to prevent the other from hitting it.

At this time, the ball was kicked to Zhang Xiaolong's feet, and he took the initiative.

Zheng Rong leaned back, leaned on the back of the chair, and glanced at Luo Rui.

Luo Rui was originally leaning on the chair with his arms folded. At this time, he leaned forward, put his hands on the table, and stared at Zhang Xiaolong.

In other words, Zheng Rong has completed his mission and now hands over to Luo Rui.

"Tell me, what conditions do you want?"

Zhang Xiaolong leaned back, his handcuffed hands still resting on the interrogation table.

"Call your director! I don't think you are qualified to talk to me!"

Luo Rui smiled and looked behind the one-way glass.

A few seconds later, the door of the interrogation room was opened, and Lu Kangming and Li Nongmai walked in.

Both of them were wearing police uniforms and had serious faces. During the first interrogation, they stayed in the observation room. They both heard what Zhang Xiaolong said.

Lu Kangming frowned, standing in front of the interrogation table, staring at Zhang Xiaolong: "I am Lu Kangming, tell me, what conditions do you want?"

Zhang Xiaolong was shocked by the other party's courage. After a moment, which only lasted a few seconds, he licked his lips and said with a smile: "Not guilty."

"What a beautiful idea you have! "

Lu Kangming put his hands behind his back and snorted coldly: "I tell you, Zhang Xiaolong, the fact of your crime is unquestionable and the evidence chain is complete. The arson caused the victim to have third-degree disability. According to your crime At least ten years in prison, and now you want to be innocent, do you think our judiciary is a joke?”

Zhang Xiaolong smiled: "You are the director, right? Director Lu, in that case, we have no need to talk."

Lu Kangming gritted his teeth, feeling very complicated. The price the other party asked for was too high. If one day Not going to jail would be a trample on the judicial system, and there would be no way to explain to the victim.

Luo Rui sneered and looked at Zheng Rong: "He is charged with the crime of arson and the crime of organizing prostitution. Let's fix the evidence first. The file is ready and the case will be handed over to the prosecutor. Let's take it with him. "Detention center!"

There was no mention of [122 Major Case] ​​in this sentence, which made Zhang Xiaolong's heart sink. He suddenly felt uncertain. The expression on his face changed again and again. It was more different than before during the interrogation. Still panic sometimes.

"Okay!" Zheng Rong agreed.

Luo Rui stood up and patted the hem of his clothes.

Everyone left the interrogation room. Zheng Rong continued the interrogation without mentioning the [122 Major Case]. He was just finalizing the prostitution and arson case of Zhang Xiaolong's organization.

Luo Rui and others did not leave directly, but stayed in the observation room next door.

At this time, Zhang Xiaolong was surprised and uncertain, his expression was in a trance.

He was in a state of confusion, wondering in his heart, did the police really not intend to make a deal?

This is the [122 Serial Murder Case], a major case that has been in the dust for fifteen years in Shahe County, and it is a well-known case. Do the police really not intend to solve it?

An hour later, Zhang Xiaolong’s complete confession came out.

Zheng Rong and the recorder mutually reviewed the confession. After confirming that it was correct, the recorder stood up and gave the dozens of pages of confession to Zhang Xiaolong for confirmation.

Zhang Xiaolong swallowed a mouthful of saliva, took it with a fearful expression, and looked down.

He was in a daze and didn't see anything. Anyway, he only knew that with this, he would be finished for the rest of his life.

Ten minutes later, Zheng Rong twirled his ballpoint pen: "Have you finished reading? If you have no problem, just sign."

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaolong raised his head and asked: "Um... Officer Zheng, do you really not want to sign?" Are you planning to solve the [122 Major Case]?”

Zheng Rongdao: “You also know that the [122 Major Case] ​​is the most serious criminal case in our Shahe County in the past few decades. From the beginning of the century to the beginning of the century, our police never gave up on solving the case. They would not give up before, and they will not give up now and in the future.

But the state has national laws and families have family rules. You, Zhang Xiaolong, take this case. Come threaten us, do you think we will make a deal with you?"

Zhang Xiaolong said vaguely: "But..."

"Nothing but!" Zheng Rong interrupted him and ordered the recorder: "Let him sign and stamp it!"

The recorder nodded, came to the table, picked up a gel pen and red clay.

Earlier, the recorder had a pen in the breast pocket of his jacket, but when he got closer to the suspect, he took it off.

The pen tip is also a sharp weapon and the suspect is not allowed to touch it.

This thing is easy to be ignored, but among the human organs, the eyes are the weakest.

It can pierce the eyeball.

The recorder handed the pen to Zhang Xiaolong and asked him to write down his name.

Zhang Xiaolong held the pen, his mood fluctuated. He knew that if he signed this, he would be finished.

He gritted his teeth and begged: "Officer Zheng, we are old acquaintances. In this way... you call the director back and we can discuss it again. The sentence can be halved. As long as you agree, I will report the clues of [Case 122] immediately Tell you! I promise!" Zheng Rong smiled and said: "Half the sentence? Zhang Xiaolong, do you know what it means to tell us who the murderer is? If it's broken, then it's qualified.

Stop wishful thinking and sign quickly. By the way, the detention center is full. You should know that there are a lot of people in detention recently. You have to squeeze in with the big brothers in society. If you meet an enemy, I advise you to ask the police officer of the detention center to change it for you. In a cell, others have made themselves miserable even before they enter the prison. ”

When he heard this, Zhang Xiaolong’s face fell, and his hand holding the pen was shaking.

He understood where the detention center was and what Zheng Rong’s words meant. It would be fine if he didn't grasp such an important clue, but he knew it clearly but refused to tell the inmates in the prison who wanted to reduce their sentences. Prisoner, if he knows this, he will be the target of others' crimes.

These prisoners with blood on their hands will not be so gentle to him.

He is the best now. The situation is to get benefits before signing. Once you go to jail, it's over, it's too late, there is no good ending!

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaolong's heart skipped a beat and he put down the pen in his hand.

“I only want five years, and my sentence will be reduced by five years!”

Zheng Rong had no expression on his face and remained unmoved.

Seeing that the other party refused, Zhang Xiaolong had to plead: "Four years! Four years, the head office, Officer Zheng, no more!"

"Deal!"
< br>

Zheng Rong smiled, and the pen he turned in his hand fell on the table, like a pebble falling into water.

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaolong exhaled a breath of exhaustion, leaned back and leaned into the interrogation chair.

Zheng Rong didn't make his own decision. Lu Kangming's orders were always transmitted through his headset.

Not long after, the door of the interrogation room was pushed open and a group of people walked in.

Lu Kangming smiled, looked at Zhang Xiaolong, and asked: "Are you rich?"

Zhang Xiaolong frowned, not knowing what the other party meant. He cursed in his heart, could it be...

"You still have to plead guilty in your case, but you need to hire a civil lawyer first and let the lawyer go to the victim of the arson case. Talk to the other party, and you can compensate as much as you can. It is best to ask the other party to issue a letter of understanding. Do you understand?"

Zhang Xiaolong opened his mouth and said in surprise: "You still have to pay?"

"What do you think, if you cause someone else a third-degree disability, you will be jailed? "

Zhang Xiaolong nodded: "Okay, I will listen to you."

After chatting, Lu Kangming looked at Luo Rui and nodded lightly.

After a few people left, of course, Lu Kangming and the others were still in the observation room. It was impossible for such a big case to just leave and let it go.

When there is a new murder case, the director in charge of criminal matters has to go to the scene, not to mention [122 Serial Murder Case].

Luo Rui sat back in his chair and grinned.

“Now, am I qualified to talk to you?”

Seeing his smiling face, Zhang Xiaolong shrank his neck. He always felt that he was being plotted, and it must have a lot to do with the dark guy in front of him. But now that the matter is at this point, if he doesn't open his mouth, he will probably be paralyzed when he comes out of prison.

Zhang Xiaolong licked his lips and recalled: "I saw this demon killing people late at night on January 22, 2000. It was raining that day in Longshan Town, Fukang County. At night I and Several people drank together until late at night.

After drinking, I rode my bicycle away alone. Because I drank too much, I had an urgent need to urinate, so I got off the car and went to pee in the reed marsh. It's dark, there's no point in the sky Starlight, I saw a man squatting in the reeds, holding a flashlight in his hand.

I was shocked. This man must have done nothing good in the middle of the night.

At first. , I thought it was two The young lovers were doing wild things, but the more I watched, the more something was wrong, because the woman's hands and feet were tied, her lower body pants were taken off, and something was stuffed in her mouth. She couldn't make a sound, she just cried.

The man's back was turned to me, he took out the guy and stood next to the woman's head.

I was so frightened that I hid in the reeds and remained motionless until the woman stopped shouting, then I dared to look.

I was even more frightened when I saw it. I saw the man holding a shovel and digging a hole...

I didn't dare to stay in that place for a long time, so I escaped quietly. "After Zhang Xiaolong finished speaking, he seemed to be frightened, with a look of fear and uneasiness in his eyes.

Zheng Rong's face was livid: "Why didn't you call the police after you escaped?"

"This..." Zhang Xiaolong was speechless.

"Do you know that if you had called the police at that time, we would have caught this murderer! This man has been killing people since 1995. If you include the victim you mentioned, according to our police What we know is that five women were murdered, and one woman suffered from severe mental illness.

Not to mention, from 2 000 years later, let’s not talk about whether this demon still kills people. Zhang Xiaolong, Zhang Xiaolong, are you really..."

Zhang Xiaolong's face turned pale: "Officer Zheng, it's not that I didn't want to call the police, you know that killing people at that time It’s a very common thing, and...and my background is not very clean, I’m afraid you’ll arrest me.”

Zheng Rong endured the anger in his heart and gritted his teeth: "Because of Zhang Xiaolong's concealment, more innocent people may be killed. These crimes of yours are not worth the unjust death of a victim.

If this The devil is still killing people, just wait!"

Zhang Xiaolong was sweating profusely and was speechless in fear.

To say that he felt guilty, it definitely didn’t exist, but he was really afraid that the police would reveal their powerful relationship.

At this time, Luo Rui squinted and looked at him: "Have you seen the murderer's face?"

Zhang Xiaolong shook his head: "No, this person has his back to me the whole time, but he is not tall, only about 1.7 meters tall. He is wearing a green military coat and has a crew cut."

"Then how do you know? Is this person the killer in 1995?”

Zhang Xiaolong opened his mouth, and for a moment, he didn’t know how to answer.

He lowered his head, pondered for a long time, and said slowly: "Because I saw this woman with corn cobs stuffed in her mouth, which are corn cobs. A week later, I went back to Longshan Town specifically to find out who The woman is missing.”

“Do you know the woman’s name?”

Zhang Xiaolong shook his head: "I don't know. I haven't heard of anyone missing in the town. Besides, there are not many people missing in Shahe County every year. I guess everyone is not surprised."

Luo Rui stared at Him: "Do you know anything else?"

"That's all I know."

"Then let me ask you, besides seeing the suspect and the victim, did you find any means of transportation at the scene? For example, cars, motorcycles? Bicycles?"

"No, Luwei It was just under the road, and I was the only one on the road.”

Seeing that Zheng Rong had nothing to ask, Luo Rui said to Zhang Xiaolong: "Be prepared and take us to identify the scene!"

Zhang Xiaolong nodded, he was completely caught.

What he was thinking about now was no longer whether or not to commute his sentence, but secretly praying to the murderous demon nine years ago to never commit another crime again, otherwise, he would most likely end up with him.

……

……

In Shahe County, the atmosphere in the conference room was unusually solemn.

The big leader sat at the top with a solemn expression and did not say a word.

At this time, all criminal police officers of all sizes in the county were called back.

Those who have cases in hand will drop the cases under investigation, and those who are still conducting follow-up investigations on special operations will be handed over to the police station in the jurisdiction.

Hundreds of police officers gathered in the conference room, some sitting and some standing.

Those who knew the situation did not dare to say anything, and those who did not know the situation did not dare to ask.

After a while, Lu Kangming stood up from his chair. He coughed twice and told the latest clues about the "122 Extraordinary Serial Murder Case".

Although the police officers who have been employed in the past ten years are confused, they have no feelings at all.

But the old detectives suddenly exploded.

Especially the older generation of police officers headed by Zheng Rong were stunned and biting their cheeks.

From 1995 to now, the investigation of a huge serial murder case that has lasted for nearly fifteen years is about to be restarted, and no one can hold back their emotions.

For a while, the conference room became noisy, with whispers and discussions.

The rookie looked at his master, and the master looked at his master, and the detectives from the previous two generations had expressions of expectation on their faces.

Lu Kangming briefly said some words of mobilization. He didn't say too much. He was mainly afraid that the case would not be taken down and it would become a regret, which would be ridiculous.

[122 Extraordinary Serial Murder Case] ​​Starting in 1995, including the initial investigation stage, up to now, a total of three task forces have gone through.

At that time, criminal investigation experts came from the city and the province, but at that time, effective investigation methods were relatively backward, and Shahe County was located in a remote area, with three counties connected, and the personnel composition was complex, so no new clues were found every time. It failed every time.

In the past fifteen years, Zhang Xiaolong has been the only witness to this case.

Restarting the investigation is a matter of course!

Don’t think that reopening an old criminal case is easy. It means burning funds, spending a lot of time and money, and other cases have to give way.

Lu Kangming looked at the crowd and said sonorously: "This time, I, Old Lu, will risk everything. Even if we spend all the funds, we will win this case!"

Hearing what he said, everyone immediately became excited.

Lu Kangming began to assign tasks and ordered the police officers to take out all the information investigated by the previous task force. If they should be re-visited, they should be re-visited. If they should be technical appraisals, continue to do so.

Li Nong also quickly took the bus to Pingyang County, preparing to join forces with Pingyang County Director Lu Peng, because the three victims were from their side.

The murder case discovered after 2000 was in Fukang County. Lu Kangming personally contacted the local county bureau.

This case is no longer a major criminal case at the end of the century, but spans a century.

Lu Kangming also reported it to the municipal bureau and provincial department.

The municipal bureau had too much time to take care of the previous case, so the provincial department sent special personnel, and the ministries and commissions also prepared to send police officers from the propaganda department to use this case as a model. Once the case is solved, it will be Nationwide notification and publicity.

……

……

Two hours later, a dozen police cars drove out of the county bureau gate one after another.

When the vendors across the street saw this situation, they all smacked their lips and whispered among themselves, wondering where another murder had occurred.

Luo Rui sat in the passenger seat and contacted Zhao Ming on his mobile phone. The other party arrived in Shahe County in half an hour. Luo Rui asked him to go directly to the scene in Fukang County.

Lin Chen was sitting in the back seat, and sitting side by side with her were two police dogs, Xiao Mu and Xiao Mao.

The trainer drove the car and stared at the rearview mirror reluctantly.

I am afraid that the two babies will recognize the thief as their mother.

Xiao Mu is a strictly trained cadaver dog, while Xiao Mao is a half-grown pup who is still in the learning stage.

Lin Chen rubbed the dog hair on Xiaomao's neck: "Good dog, don't be afraid when you see the corpse later. This is your first time appearing on the scene. You must be brave and calm. Look, senior brother, Are you very calm?”

Xiao Mu squatted in the chair and wagged his tail.

Lin Chen smiled.

She raised her head and looked at Luo Rui's back: "Team leader, I didn't expect that I would encounter such a big case just after I came here. Do you think this murderous demon is still committing crimes? The most important thing for us now is to find corpses.”

Luo Rui glanced back at her: "This is already being done. Chu Yang and the others are now investigating the women who disappear around January 22nd every year. The scope has been extended to the whole city."

"They have been investigating for so many years. Before I caught this devil, I kept thinking about what kind of person he would be."

Luo Rui snorted coldly. : "He doesn't have a nose and eyes, does he have three heads and six arms?"

Lin Chen pondered: "Fortunately, we are here. If it were abroad, this devil would definitely be publicized as evil, just like Hannibal That's it."

"How can it be so mysterious?" Luo Rui answered absentmindedly, looking worried.

An hour later, the rural road outside Longshan Town in Fukang County was already full of police cars.

The local police arrived first and had organized manpower to cordon off the outside of the reed marsh.

At this time, it was the afternoon, and the warm winter sun was setting on the horizon.

The withered yellow reeds swayed with the cold wind, looking desolate.

Because this place is not far from the town, all the townspeople who heard the news rushed over to watch the excitement.

No one knew what happened, everyone pointed at the reeds.

After Lu Kangming got out of the car, he walked towards an old man in uniform.

This old man is Dong Jianmin, the director of Fukang County.

After receiving Lu Kangming’s call, he brought people over as soon as possible.

At this time, his face was full of sorrow, and he even skipped greetings and said directly: "Bureau Lu, you won't trick me, right? [122] The murderer of the major case has really committed a crime in our county?"

Lu Kangming looked solemn: "Do I dare to talk nonsense about this matter? This case has been on hold for so many years, and now there are new clues. It is also a murder case that has not been discovered since the beginning of the century. I must take responsibility for talking nonsense!"

"Well, if that's the case, let's let the police dogs go up and see if we can find the body."

Lu Kangming nodded and called for the handler of the police dog squadron.

The trainer held the dog leash in his hand. He squatted down and whispered a few words to Xiao Mu, who was eager to try.

Then, as soon as he let go of the rope, Xiao Mu jumped into the reed swamp...

Xiaomao squatted on the ground, whined, swung his tail, and jumped into the grass...
