After Zeng Wenlong finished speaking timidly, he looked up and found that the camera he had been refusing to look at and tried to avoid had been put away by the man opposite.

The man pulled out the memory card, threw the camera aside, took out a small metal box, and put the memory card in it.

After finishing all this, the man looked up at Zeng Wenlong, and said calmly, "Say goodbye to this world!"

Zeng Wenlong was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized the meaning of the man's words.

"I've already said everything, what else do you want? You promised to let me go! I was not yet 16 years old at the time, and I never thought of killing Ding Sixin. I didn't do it on purpose, it was just a mistake! Even the law will not try Me! Why are you?" Zeng Wenlong panicked, gradually revealing his usual arrogance and arrogance in his deep fear, from groveling to furious.

"Why?" The man sneered, "You are so ridiculous. Why, just because you are guilty with me, cut into pieces, skinned by cramp, burned in flames, death a thousand times or ten thousand times is not enough, and you can't change it. Take her life back, but not mine..."

The man suddenly stopped talking, and flames jumped out of the lighter, reflecting on his sad and resentful face.

Zeng Wenlong realized that his confession could not make a man take his life.He turned his head and glanced at the bottomless building, and he didn't dare to worry too much, and began to struggle to break free from the ropes on his hands and feet.

Falling down is death, burning to death is also death, no matter how stubbornly resisting, there is a chance of survival than sitting and waiting for death.

"Help! Kill someone! Help..."

While breaking free from the ropes that bound his hands and feet, he looked around, thinking that someone else could appear on this deserted rooftop.

Xiao Xiao smiled and the blowing wind made Zeng Wenlong's cries for help seem intermittent and slurred.Suddenly he spotted a figure by the door leading to the rooftop.

For a moment, Zeng Wenlong kept yelling at the figure as if he was grasping at a straw.

Zeng Wenlong's change caught the attention of the man in front of him.The man then turned around and looked towards the shadow by the door.

Ji Shang walked from the dark shadow to the lamp, and said softly, "Xiaoyuan."

"Little Nine."

Ding Hengyuan said in a flat and gentle tone as if he knew Ji Shanghui would arrive, "You're here."

……

On the day Ding Shaodong surrendered, it was eleven o'clock in the evening when the interrogation ended and the results of the fingerprint and knife test were compared.

The last light in the criminal investigation building went out.Yin Hao and Ji Shang left the criminal police team, instead of returning to Xianxiao, they drove straight to Cao Weiwei's house.

Cao Weiwei received the two of them in his home study in his pajamas. From the first meeting of the three of them, Cao Weiwei brought in Yin Zhuowen who was far away in Beijing.

Ding Shaodong and Han Xun's testimonies were consistent, the results of fingerprint identification and murder weapon identification were clear, and Ding Hengyuan's alibi was also confirmed by the new witnesses.Judging from the motivation and witnesses and material evidence, it undoubtedly points to Ding Shaodong.

In fact, Cao Weiwei is already thinking about ending the investigation process and starting to hand over the case to the prosecution.But she was unable to make this decision.Because the inspection team has already locked down the traitor in the "Hu Lei" operation, that is, Zeng Xian, her old colleague who has worked with her for many years, the captain of the second criminal investigation team, and the intended successor of the deputy chief of the police station.

And the Fu Qiuyue that Ji Shang Yin Hao found out was Zeng Xian's wife.Zeng Xian and Fu Qiuyue also have a son who immigrated abroad many years ago. His Chinese name is Zeng Wenlong.

Judging from the existing clues, this Zeng Wenlong is the fourth boy who played the role of mastermind in Ding Sixin's case according to Ji Shang.

The serial case in charge of the special case team is inextricably linked with the restarted operation to protect buds.Alarming any one of these lines may affect another case, so Cao Weiwei had to be cautious at every step.

Yin Hao handed over the relationship diagram drawn by Ji Shang to Cao Weiwei.Cao Weiwei glanced at the relationship diagram, then left the study with a heavy expression, and returned about a quarter of an hour later.

Cao Weiwei turned on the remote video equipment, and handed the character relationship diagram to Ji Shang.

Ji Shang glanced at it, then handed it to Yin Hao.In the places where he marked question marks above, Cao Weiwei has already completed the names of people and the relationship between characters.

The video equipment was connected, and the images of the three people in the house appeared on the big screen. Cao Weiwei clicked the mouse to switch, and the frame of the three people's images shrank to the upper right of the screen, and a middle-aged man appeared on the big screen.

This man was in his early fifties, with sharp eyebrows, a straight nose, and a square face. Although he was wearing dark home clothes, he was upright and upright.

Cao Weiwei said: "This is the person in charge of the inspection team, and also the person in charge of the Lei protection operation after the restart, Yin Zhuowen, Director Yin. He will participate in the entire meeting today, and will issue decisions and instructions directly."

Ji Shang heard Yin Hao mention this name.But even if Yin Hao didn't mention it, he could tell from Cao Weiwei's introduction that the other party was Yin Hao's father who worked in Beijing.

Ji Shang was taken aback for a moment, and in a blink of an eye, seeing Yin Hao's complexion obviously darkened, he had no choice but to calm down as soon as possible and break the embarrassing situation: "Hi, Ju Yin."

Yin Zhuowen said indifferently: "Hi Jishang, thank you for your help to our police."

Ji Shangdao: "It's just helping friends as much as I can, and besides, Team Cao will pay wages."

When Ji Shang said this, he glanced at Yin Hao.Yin Hao was also looking at him, and at the same time, Yin Hao quickly restrained his expression, and gave Ji Shang a smile with no one in his eyes.

Yin Zhuowen cleared his throat and said, "Ji Shang, let's start."

Ji Shangdao: "Tonight, Yin Hao and I came to Captain Cao for two things. The first thing is that in the serial case, the evidence points to Ding Shaodong, and his confession seems to be logical, but he is only a participant. The murderer of this case There is another one, Ding Hengyuan. But I suggest that the Cao team end the investigation stage and start the procedure of transferring the case to the prosecution."

Yin Zhuowen frowned, but said nothing.

Cao Weiwei asked: "Why are you so sure that Ding Hengyuan is another murderer? Yes, although his motive is the most obvious, but don't forget that he had an alibi during the three murders." Cao Weiwei paused, and then said: " Also, since you are sure that Ding Hengyuan is another murderer, Ji Shang, why did you ask me to end the investigation and transfer the case in advance?"

"Captain Cao, let me answer your first question first." Ji Shang said in a calm manner: "Ding Shaodong's confession sounds like he is trying to dispel suspicion for his son Ding Hengyuan, but in fact his words are not completely unbelievable. It tends to be true and false. Ding Hengyuan did not participate in Wang Jingping's case, which should be true. Because after Wang Jingping's death, I received a sunflower package, and my behavior of being hit by a motorcycle was not a part of the plan. For example, after Ding Hengyuan learned that Ding Shaodong was related to the Wang Jingping case, he temporarily added remedial measures in order to remove my suspicion in the eyes of the police. In addition, it is not true that Ding Shaodong apologized to me. It was indeed because of me, Ding Hengyuan, 12 years ago. Did not go out to pick up Ding Sixin."

"The father and son should never have thought of escaping legal sanctions from the beginning of the plan. What they cared about was how to keep one of them as much as possible. Even if they were arrested, they could not be arrested at the same time. Only in this way can Continue the revenge plan and kill all four people who murdered Ding Sixin back then, leaving none behind. Ding Shaodong's fingerprints appeared on the express package, which shows that Ding Hengyuan is the one who was saved in the plan. I speculate that he is from the Wang Jingping case. Started to join the revenge plan."

Yin Zhuowen, who had been silent all the time, questioned during the pause of Jishang: "Until now, all I have heard are your speculations."

"The testimonies of Ding Shaodong and Han Xun, as well as Ding Shaodong's sound action ability, can already be confirmed from the side. It is very likely that Ding Hengyuan did not participate in Wang Jingping's case." Ji Shang continued calmly, "As for Yi Shaoqing's case, although Ding Hengyuan has a perfect Alibi, but Yin Hao and I found evidence of his participation in the case."

After Ji Shang finished speaking, he looked at Yin Hao. Yin Hao had already turned on his laptop, and he clicked on a few videos: "Han Xun confessed that after leaving the rehabilitation hospital on August [-], he stole a car for set-up. I, and then drove this car to the unfinished villa of Kuang Jie’s lover on the top of Xiping Mountain, and found a job with low wages. The workers on the construction site have confirmed this part of the situation. The car entered on August [-]. After Xiping Mountain, it has been parked next to the construction site. On the morning when Yi Shaoqing’s case happened, this car disappeared together with Kuang Jie’s mother and daughter.”

Cao Weiwei said: "Yes, both Han Xun and Ding Shaodong have confessed that this car is the vehicle used by Han Xun to transport Kuang Jie's mother and daughter down the mountain. And Ding Shaodong sneaked out after being sent back to the rehabilitation hospital by his son on the day of the crime. Hospital, rushed to the industrial park."

"This is the strange thing." Yin Hao continued: "After Kuangjie's mother and daughter disappeared, Deng Deng and I went to Changping Nursing Home to investigate the situation. When Ding Hengyuan and Ding Shaodong left, I helped put Ding Shaodong's wheelchair on the car .Dante Hengyuan prevented me from opening the trunk, but asked me to put the wheelchair in the back. He said that there were too many things in the trunk, but then we checked the previous video and found that when they arrived at Changping Nursing Home the day before, the wheelchair was in the back What was in the trunk during this period? Why did Ding Hengyuan prevent me from opening it? Besides, the body and tires of Ding Hengyuan’s car were full of sludge, and it was parked all night in the rainy night. Where did the sludge come from? place?"

Yin Zhuowen asked on the screen: "You mean, Kuang Jie's mother and daughter were in Ding Hengyuan's trunk?"

Yin Hao nodded, "This shows that Ding Hengyuan knew about the whole thing and even participated in it."

Ji Shang added: "If you follow this logic, after kidnapping Kuang Jie's mother and daughter, they couldn't predict the time when the road will be restored in advance. If the mother and daughter were left in Han Xun's car or in the villa on the mountain, it is very likely that they will be killed by nearby migrant workers. So that night, Kuang Jie and her daughter were transferred to Ding Hengyuan's car. After the power was restored, Ding Hengyuan drove away immediately. Han Xun's confession shows that although he has been following Ding Shaodong's instructions out of self-blame and guilt To act, but he doesn't know what the purpose of doing all this is. So in Changping Mountain, in order to prevent Han Xun from knowing the inside story and disrupting the revenge plan. Ding Hengyuan and Ding Shaodong will definitely prevent Han Xun from seeing Yi Shaoqing as much as possible, so the only The best way was to move Kuang Jie's mother and daughter into Han Xun's car on the way down the mountain before the monitoring was restored, and let Han Xun himself exchange with Ding Shaodong. Ding Shaodong drove Kuang Jie's mother and daughter to the industrial park, and Han Xun disguised as Ding Shaodong Sent to Ziyang Rehabilitation Hospital."

Cao Weiwei waved his hand: "There is a big loophole. Ding Shaodong has been in the Zaolin Industrial Park, Ding Hengyuan is in the operating room of the hospital, and Han Xun is in the Ziyang Rehabilitation Hospital. So who sent Kuangjie and her daughter home?"

"At first we didn't know that Ding Shaodong's mobility was a disguise, so we missed many details." After Yin Hao finished speaking, he looked at Ji Shang again: "But after listening to Ding Shaodong's confession, when Ji Shang re-checked the video last night, , I found a suspicious point. At the rehabilitation hospital that afternoon, the nurse pushed Ding Shaodong into the garden to bask in the sun. After the nurse left, Ding Shaodong wandered around in his wheelchair and disappeared for two full hours."

"Is this enough time to go to the industrial park to pick up Kuang Jie's mother and daughter and send them back?" Cao Weiwei asked.

Ji Shang affirmed: "We checked the distance and avoided the rush hour, which happened to be enough. It also coincided with the time when Yi Shaoqing arrived at the industrial park. This also explained what the police couldn't figure out at the time. The kidnappers were in When the ransom was not received, the hostages were sent home in advance."

Yin Zhuowen said: "The evidence is not sufficient."

Ji Shangdao: "Ju Yin, what if I add my witness?"

"You? Witness?" Yin Zhuowen asked puzzled.

Ji Shangdao: "Ding Hengyuan and I were assigned to live in the same room that night. In Ding Shaodong's record, the glass of water that Ding Hengyuan drank that night was actually given to me. But I only drank half of it, and I woke up at night Once, when I found no one in Ding Hengyuan's bed, I was in a daze and thought I was dreaming. Thinking about it now, he did leave the room."

Yin Zhuowen frowned deeply, and after a while he said, "Let's talk about the third case, Zhang Chuang's case, how can Ding Hengyuan's alibi be explained?"

"This case is easier." Yin Hao chuckled, "The so-called witness is not a witness at all. He heard 'Ding Hengyuan' video chat with his daughter, and 'Ding Hengyuan' chatted with him about his family and work , show him the photos on his cell phone. This is a deceiving way. Because of the other party's series of behaviors, the witness subconsciously compared the man sitting next to him chatting and fishing with Ding Hengyuan who appeared repeatedly in the photos. So when the local police interrogated him with Ding Hengyuan's photo, he insisted that Ding Hengyuan was sitting next to him that day. In fact, the sun was strong that day, and both he and 'Ding Hengyuan' were wearing sunshade masks, only half of them were missing. face."

Ji Shang added: "We called this witness last night. At first he insisted that Ding Hengyuan was sitting next to him and told us not to wrong good people. But when we asked if we saw Ding Hengyuan take off the sun visor , but he hesitated to answer."

After Ji Shang finished speaking, he looked up at Yin Zhuowen who was looking down in thought on the screen, and then at Cao Weiwei who was also thinking.Judging from the expressions of these two people and the time of silence, their inferences, although they still need to be supplemented with evidence, have been accepted.

Yin Hao touched Ji Shang's foot under the table, and raised his eyebrows at Ji Shang with the winning ticket in hand, Ji Shang also smiled and nodded slightly.

Yin Zhuowen suddenly cleared his throat again, and said in a deep voice: "Ding Hengyuan is still so suspected, why do you suggest that the police end the investigation and transfer the case? Isn't it right to continue the investigation, add evidence, and arrest Ding Hengyuan?" ?”

Ji Shang shifted his gaze to the screen and said sternly, "This is related to the second thing we need to do with Captain Cao tonight."

Yin Zhuowen said: "By the way, you said at the beginning that you were looking for Captain Cao tonight for two things. Then tell me what is the second thing?"

Just as Ji Shang was about to speak, Yin Hao interrupted him and said, "The second thing is for me to say, it's easier for me to say."

Cao Weiwei, Yin Zhuowen, and Ji Shang looked at Yin Hao at the same time, but the emotions in these three gazes were completely different.Some people are puzzled, some are dissatisfied, and some are grateful.

Yin Hao looked at Ji Shang, trying to find a tactful excuse, but found it difficult.Ji Shang raised his eyebrows and smiled at him, as if saying, don't pay too much attention to his feelings.

In the exchange of eyes between the two, Yin Zhuowen coughed abruptly again: "I can't fart for a long time. Ji Shang, why don't you say it."

Yin Hao turned to the screen and said seriously: "I can, I'll do it."

"While waiting for the results of the fingerprint and murder weapon identification in the afternoon, I went to Chenxing Middle School." Yin Hao finished speaking and looked at Cao Weiwei, "I don't know if Captain Cao still remembers that in the case of Wang Jingping, he was beaten up on Binhe Road that night , and accidentally ran into Chen Qianyi's student, Zhang Weidong. We went to school in the morning to look for Gan Luoluo but couldn't find him. Later, this kid called me and told me that he overheard Gan Luoluo calling An Wei, and Gan Luoluo agreed to talk to An Wei. Wei fell in love, and asked An Wei to help her find a place, and she wanted to hide for a while."

Cao Weiwei asked in surprise: "Why did Gan Luoluo hide? Is she really related to the Beilei organization? Someone threatened her? Why did you report it now? We should send someone to protect her immediately."

Ji Shang said indifferently: "The one who is willing to hide is me."

The surprise on Cao Weiwei's face intensified: "Because of Ji Shang?"

Yin Hao said: "Actually, Ji Shang had doubts a long time ago, but it was only suspicion. We had no evidence at all. After I found Gan Luo, she finally told me the truth. When she returned home from the summer camp, she met her at the airport. Ji Shang. And the person who hugged Ji Shang warmly at the airport and looked very close was the man who bought Gan Luoluo Chuye through the Beilei organization."

"Who?" Yin Zhuowen asked.

Ji Shang said word by word: "My graduate tutor, Hu Yongyu."

That person once said to Ji Shang: "Your world is not only black and white, but also gray areas. This is very dangerous."

That person also encouraged him earnestly: "Maybe it is the truest you. You have to face your gray area. If you just avoid it blindly, you will be constrained and you will never experience true freedom."

Ji Shang thought that the "face-to-face" that Hu Yongyu said was to encourage him not to escape, and to control him after recognizing himself, but he never thought that the "face-to-face" that Hu Yongyu said was to imply that he would release the monster in his heart.

The study suddenly fell silent, and a needle could be heard.The name Hu Yongyu was no stranger to Yin Zhuowen and Cao Weiwei. Hearing this name at this moment was indeed beyond their expectations.

Yin Hao broke the silence and continued: "Gan Luoluo confessed that the woman who introduced her to this sale was the woman who was with Zhijie back then and also introduced Dai Wan to work on the Luoshen. Because Gan Luoluo was very cooperative, Beilei organized She was not strictly monitored. After she arrived in California, she was taken away from the summer camp by a man and sent directly to the hotel where Hu Yongyu was. The man asked Gan Luoluo to call him Brother Zeng. Gan Luoluo had heard that Brother Zeng was with a man named Zhang Chuang's people made a phone call. Although Gan Luoluo's description of the call was vague, we can judge from Brother Zeng's tone of the call..."

Yin Hao looked down at Ji Shang's character relationship diagram, and continued: "He should be Zhang Chuang's cousin, the fourth boy involved in Ding Sixin's case, Zeng Wenlong."

Ji Shang continued: "We don't know what step the review team has found in the Beilei organization, but they haven't closed the net for a long time, so there should be still a lack of evidence. If Gan Luoluo and Hu Yongyu can become evidence, I think this should be enough .”

Ji Shang also looked down at the name Cao Weiwei added on the relationship map: "Also, Zeng Wenlong, this person will definitely return to China. Ding Shaodong tried his best to dispel Ding Hengyuan's suspicion. From the very beginning, he left Ding Hengyuan's alibi everywhere because He wants to save his son Ding Hengyuan? Does he want him to escape legal sanctions? If he really wanted to save him, Ding Shaodong would not have drawn Ding Hengyuan into the revenge plan from the very beginning. So his purpose of doing this must be to get rid of all those who harmed Ding Sixin Get rid of all the murderers. Even if Zeng Wenlong is abroad, Ding Hengyuan must have a way to get him back."

Yin Zhuowen, who had been silent all this time, suddenly raised his head: "So, you suggest that Ding Shaodong be the murderer to end the investigation of the serial case and hand it over. This will allow Zeng Wenlong and his father Zeng Xian to relax their vigilance, so that Zeng Wenlong's worries will be reduced, and the chance of returning to China will be reduced. big."

"Also, if Zhang Chuang and Zeng Wenlong are the manipulators behind the Beilei organization, then after Zhang Chuang's death, it is more likely that Zeng Wenlong will return to China to deal with the aftermath." Ji Shang paused, then said: "Even with these reasons It is not enough for Zeng Wenlong to take the risk of returning to China, but I believe Ding Hengyuan still has a backup."

"After all, he was the last person Zhang Chuang saw before his death. How much did Zhang Chuang confide to him in order to survive? Will these things prompt Zeng Wenlong to return to China?"
