The identification results came out one after another.Ding Shaodong's fingerprints were consistent with the fingerprints on the courier bag Ji Shang received and the fingerprint on the second floor of Yi Shaoqing's death scene.

The scalpel that Ding Shaodong voluntarily handed in was also consistent with Wang Jingping's tongue wound in the first case and Zhang Chuang's wound marks in the last case.

When Ding Hengyuan was summoned for 24 hours, the owner of the farmhouse provided the police with the contact information of a guest.The guest confirmed that Ding Hengyuan had been sitting near Zhang Chuang and fishing on the afternoon of the day the case occurred.Because they saw the video of Ding Hengyuan and his daughter, the two chatted about their families and work on the way.

Ding Hengyuan left the police station.Ding Shaodong was arrested.When Han Xun learned that Ding Shaodong had surrendered, he let go and admitted that he did not kill him.

The reason why he tried to take over everything at first was because he wanted to help Ding Shaodong cover up, and secondly, because he really wanted to kill those people himself.

Ding Shaodong's motives are obvious, the inside story of the crime is clearly explained, and the physical and witness evidence is sufficient. This serial case that lasted for two months seems to have come to an end.

Even the police officers of the Second Criminal Investigation Team upstairs who seldom visited came here from time to time to inquire about the progress, and they all said that they would like to congratulate the special case team in advance for cracking this serious serial case.

Members of the special case team, who have always been tight-lipped, were happy to reveal a little detail. The investigation phase of the case has ended, and the next step is to transfer it to the procuratorate for litigation.

The procuratorate still has a waiting period to make a decision on cases transferred by the public security organs.The case procedure was carried out in an orderly manner, and no other disturbances occurred.

Time passed like this for half a month.

Ji Shang woke up one morning in early autumn, and a memo message 'teacher's birthday' popped up on his phone.

The crape myrtle flowers outside the window are completely withered, and the world full of flowers is no longer there.But in the gradually bleak autumn scene, silver osmanthus popped up quietly. Although it was not as dazzling as the blooming flowers, it carried the dark fragrance in the breeze.

In the gap between the change of vegetation, the earth is weak, but the vitality is always there.

Ji Shang sent Yin Hao a message, "Teacher's birthday is tomorrow, and I'm going to Beijing."

People from the Second Squadron were recently temporarily transferred to the First Criminal Investigation Team to assist in the investigation of a large-scale telecommunications fraud case.The whole team stayed up late and worked overtime, and Yin Hao hadn't gone to see Ji Shang for a week.

Seeing the news that Ji Shang was going to Beijing alone, Yin Hao was extremely depressed.It was not enough to intercede with Cao Weiwei of the first team, and Zeng Xian, the captain of the second team.At any rate, Zeng Duiwang transferred him to another shift, allowing him to return to Beijing to visit his parents in time for the Mid-Autumn Festival in two days.

The last time when Hu Yongyu met Jishang in Yunpan, Jishang also mentioned his birthday. Maybe Hu Yongyu was afraid that Jishang would be exhausted by the long journey to Beijing, so he said at that time that there would be no birthday party, just a family gathering have a meal.

Ji Shang originally planned to send a gift to Hu Yongyu before his birthday, but someone in the alumni group made a start, saying that this year coincided with Hu Yongyu's appointment as vice president, so it was a double blessing, and he wanted to hold a grand birthday for his teacher feast.

Ji Shang moved the idea of ​​going to Beijing in person, and he made an appointment with a few other classmates who didn't stay in Beijing not to tell Hu Yongyu in advance, which was a surprise for him.

Ji Shang couldn't accommodate Yin Hao because he made an appointment with other students.The two arrived in Beijing one after another, and they didn't have time to meet each other before going to Hu Yongyu's birthday party.

The birthday party was sponsored by Hu Yongyu's previous students. The hospitality was hard to turn down, and Hu Yongyu could only accept it after some refusal.Many of the students he brought out were well-known figures in the political and business circles, which brought him a lot of credit and made it inconvenient for him to insist on refusing.

The birthday party is held in the hotel's largest and most luxurious banquet hall.All the people who entered the venue were dressed up with invitation letters. Ji Shang and the others who wanted to surprise Hu Yongyu almost couldn't get in, so Hu Yongyu came out to pick them up in person.

Hu Yongyu's expression seemed to be more than shocked, with his mouth half-opened and frowning, maybe because of the high temperature in the banquet hall, his cheeks were slightly red and his temples were slightly moist.When he saw Ji Shang, Hu Yongyu was stunned for a few seconds before saying: "You bastards, why don't you tell me in advance if you want to come."

Most of the faces at the banquet were unfamiliar to Ji Shang.However, there is always a lot of chat content such as "General Manager X", "Bureau X", and "Inspector X" among the people's voices.

After Hu Yongyu gave a speech to express his gratitude, the emcee came to the stage and introduced the next process in a mysterious manner, saying that it was a birthday gift carefully prepared by Hu Yongyu's students. The applause from the audience must last for more than one minute before the emcee showed everyone this mysterious gift.

Ji Shang stood at the corner of the banquet hall near the door, watching the stage.When the applause sounded, a middle-aged woman in a long black dress walked up to him.With appreciative eyes, looked at him.

"You are a season merchant, right?" the other party asked.

"I'm Ji Shang, may I ask who you are, ma'am?" Ji Shang was somewhat familiar with this well-dressed woman with smiling eyes, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him.

"My name is Xia Juan." The lady replied, and then smiled again: "I am Yin Hao's mother."

A few question marks floated in Ji Shang's mind, and then he became a little at a loss. He hurriedly said, "Hello, Aunt Xia, it's such a coincidence that you are also coming to Professor Hu's birthday party?"

Xia Juan smiled and waved her hands: "The birthday party is organized by our company, I just came to visit the venue, mainly to see you."

"Come and see me?" Ji Shang was puzzled, as far as he knew, Yin Hao hadn't told his family about his relationship with him.

Xia Juan paused, and said with a smile: "Yin Haoshun mentioned that you came to Professor Hu's birthday party, no, he is in the cloud disk thanks to the care of friends like you, and I heard that you also helped him solve the case. I thought I should thank you in person."

Ji Shang said modestly: "Aunt Xia, you're welcome, and I didn't do much. Yin Hao is a very competent and smart police officer. Even if I don't provide any help, he can solve the case quickly."

Xia Juan nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, although Yin Hao of our family has a temper like his father's and is a bit straight, he is still a good person. He looks good, has a good body, and has a stable job. Neither his father nor I have the same personality. Give him any financial pressure. He is very stubborn, no, it should be said to be persistent. As long as it is what he wants and the answer he wants to find, he will hold on to it. I can't be more stubborn than him..."

The master of ceremonies was counting down the applause that lasted for 1 minute, and the count reached one. In addition to the applause, there were gradually excited noises in the venue one after another.

Ji Shang felt strange listening to Xia Juan counting Yin Hao's various advantages in his ear, but he couldn't concentrate on thinking about it for a while.He just stared nervously at the huge white screen behind the emcee for a moment.

"One minute is up." The master of ceremonies smiled coquettishly, and pressed the play button, "The answer to the mystery will be revealed soon."

The picture played on the screen seems to be the same night.In the center of the picture, there is a low gray wall under the night light. When you look up, you can see a man with a wet body tied to a tubular metal object.

The camera shakes for a while, the buildings in the distance are high and low, and the lights are lit up. This scene is on the rooftop.And the man whose life was hanging by a thread in the picture began to speak slowly to the camera.

"My real name is Zeng Wenlong, my father's name is Zeng Xian, and my mother's name is Fu Qiuyue. During the summer vacation 12 years ago, I took my cousins ​​Zhang Chuang, Yi Shaoqing, and Wang Jingping with me..."

People in the banquet hall gradually realized that the content of the picture was abnormal. It was not like a well-prepared gift, much less like a cute and noisy little prank. This picture should not appear on an occasion like today.

Xia Juan was attracted by the discussions in the venue, looked up at the screen, and was quite frightened by the content of the screen.She hurriedly reached out to grab Ji Shang beside her, wanting to ask him what's going on.

"season……"

But at some point, Ji Shang, who was still beside Xia Juan just a moment ago, had disappeared.Xia Juan didn't even have time to say the ultimate purpose of coming to the banquet to meet Ji Shang tonight.

The man tied up in the center of the screen spoke intermittently.

"When we came out of the game hall, we saw her walking with her classmates carrying a few gifts. According to what they said, it should be her birthday that day. Originally, a boy asked her out at night, but it seemed that he didn't show up for a long time. , let her pigeons go. I...I just thought about buying some gifts for her, maybe I took advantage of the opportunity to show my favor to her, and she agreed to date me."

"I really didn't want to hurt her. I bought flowers, candles, and cakes. However, when she arrived at the sunflower field in Huatai Village, she found that the boy she was waiting for was not there at all. She turned around and left. Not to me either."

"My cousins ​​Zhang Chuang and Yi Shaoqing were both there. I couldn't get off the stage, so I wanted to show her some color. I really didn't want to hurt her, nor did I want to violate her. I asked them to help her out on impulse. She pressed it down, wanting to take some indecent photos of her and show them to her classmates and the boys she likes. It will wipe out the nobility in her eyes."

"But who knew she was yelling all the time. I was afraid of being heard, so I asked someone to cover her mouth."

A deep and depressed male voice outside the picture asked, "Who covered her mouth?"

"Yi, Yi Shaoqing."

Zeng Wenlong, who had been lowering his head, unwilling to look directly at the camera, suddenly raised his head with a click.The bangs that were wetted by the unknown liquid trembled in front of the forehead, and the eyes that were so stimulated that they were red and weeping, and could hardly be opened, suddenly opened with pain, and a cluster of dancing flames were reflected in the eyeballs.

Zeng Wenlong hurriedly changed his words: "It's me, it's me. At first it was Yi Shaoqing, but then it was me, and I covered Ding Sixin's mouth and nose until..."

Zeng Wenlong lowered his head again: "Until she stopped struggling, and then, we found out that she didn't pass out, she seemed to be out of breath."

"Then, you didn't save her, but simply set her on fire?" In the voiceover, the man said every word, gnashing his teeth, his breath uncontrollably rising and falling.

"No." Zeng Wenlong shook his head crazily, "I was so scared at the time, I didn't know what to do. I called my family."

"Who to call?"

"My dad picked it up at the beginning." Zeng Wenlong said: "He said that we are under 16 years old, and we didn't kill people on purpose, so we won't go to jail, so let us call the police and surrender. But later, my mother overheard, She disagreed, she said that the stigma on her back..."

"Stigma?" The man's laughter was ironic and sharp.

"It will affect my future, and even my father's official career, and the reputation of the whole family will be ruined. So, so my father taught us..."

Yi Shaoqing and Zhang Chuang were arranged to go back to Huatai Village to find fuel, while Zeng Wenlong stayed in the sunflower field to guard Ding Sixin's body.

No gasoline was found at Wu Yingzi's house, so Zhang Chuang took away several bottles of spirits from the house.Following Zeng Xian's instructions, they doubled up the scene and even put candles on the cake to light it up, creating an accident scene where a fire was caused by a careless date.A fire burned all traces of them.

Yi Shaoqing, who stayed in the village, waited until the fire gradually spread up the hillside, and began to call for help, and pulled Wang Jingping out of the house, and ran towards the hillside with the villagers who were rushing to the sunflower field, mixing with the firefighting team.

The panicked and anxious villagers who have no time to worry too much have become their best witnesses.
