soldiers in front

Peng Jiashu thought to himself; I can finally take revenge.

There was a ball of anger in his eyes, followed by flames of hatred and resentment. He stared at Xia Bingyang like a Jedi counterattack, wanting to bite off every word: "Yes, Min Chengzhou is the murderer who killed that woman! I Saw him kill that woman with my own eyes!"

Xia Bingyang looked at Peng Jiashu without ups and downs, saw the light in his eyes eager to be affirmed, and saw the burning anger in his eyes.

Xia Bingyang suddenly felt a little tired, he frowned slightly, closed his eyes and rubbed his forehead, and said, "Did you really see it?"

Peng Jiashu's expression was almost crazy and said: "I saw it. I was hiding on the balcony at that time. I wanted to sneak in and kill him, but I saw the shadow of a woman behind the curtain, and that woman was Ran Jie. I thought it was me. I went to the wrong room, and when I was about to leave, I heard Ran Jie go to open the door, and then...then Min Chengzhou walked in, he knocked out Ran Jie, first raped her, and then killed her!"

As he said that, Peng Jiashu nodded nervously, as if he was affirming himself, and said to himself repeatedly: "Yes, that's it, it was Min Chengzhou who killed Ran Jie, Min Chengzhou was the murderer, he killed Ran Jie Jie..."

Ren Erdong didn't wait for Peng Jiashu to finish, he pulled Xia Bingyang up from the ground, held Xia Bingyang's arm and asked in a low voice: "Whose case are you investigating now? Hong Xin or Ran Jie?"

Xia Bingyang looked at Peng Jiashu who was talking to himself and said, "Only by finding out whether the person who killed Ran Jie was Min Chengzhou can Hong Xin's case be overturned."

Ren Erdong suddenly tightened his grip on his arm, gritted his teeth and said, "You are crazy, you even suspect that the murderer of Hong Xin is Bureau Min!"

Lou Yue couldn't stand it any longer, she stepped forward to stand in front of Xia Bingyang, and said, "Even if Bureau Min used the presumption of guilt approach in handling the case back then, leading to a wrong case, you have no evidence to suspect that Bureau Min is the murderer. Now you Doubting Bureau Min in a confession is any different from Bureau Min suspecting Peng Mao and Peng Jiashu based on the presumption of guilt?"

Li Zhiming couldn't talk to him, but he squeezed over and looked at Xia Bingyang nervously.

Xia Bingyang turned his gaze around their faces, and forced a smile: "You think I'm guiding Peng Jiashu to kill Min Ju?"

Ren Erdong glanced at Peng Jiashu, leaned into Xia Bingyang's ear and said, "I beg you to calm down, you said earlier that Bureau Min had no motive to kill Ran Jie, and Bureau Min's killing of Ran Jie to blame Peng Jiashu was just our guess." , No evidence has been found yet. You can’t convict Bureau Min on the basis of Peng Jiashu’s own words.”

Xia Bingyang said: "You are wrong, I don't want to convict Min Ju, I want to clear the name for Min Ju."

Lou Yue said: "Clear the charges? What are you talking about?"

Xia Bingyang looked at Peng Jiashu, and said calmly: "I don't know whether Bureau Min wants to frame Peng Jiashu for murder. But I can confirm now that Peng Jiashu is trying to frame Bureau Min for murder."

Xia Bingyang pushed away Ren Erdong who was standing in front of him, took two steps forward, squatted down in front of Peng Jiashu, and before he could speak, Peng Jiashu grabbed his arm.

Peng Jiashu's whole body seemed to be completely reborn, his eyes sparkled with excitement, and he said to Xia Bingyang: "Officer, I can testify. I saw Min Chengzhou murder with my own eyes, so I can testify in court!"

Xia Bingyang let him hold her arm, and just smiled lightly: "Really? Can you testify?"

"I can! When will I appear in court?"

Xia Bingyang patted the back of his hand, comforted him first, and then said: "Did you forget that Min Chengzhou is dead."

The light in Peng Jiashu's eyes dimmed for a moment, and he was at a loss for a moment, before he said, "It doesn't matter, as long as he can be judged as a murderer, as long as he can be judged as a murderer..."

Xia Bingyang looked at him, and said in a deep voice, "So the way you avenge Min Chengzhou is to make him a murderer?"

Peng Jiashu gritted his teeth viciously and said, "He deserves it!"

Xia Bingyang lowered his eyes sadly, bent the corners of his lips meaninglessly, and said, "He doesn't deserve it. He is a policeman, and it is his duty to investigate cases. He should suspect all suspects."

"But my dad didn't kill anyone! He doesn't believe my dad!"

"On the basis of the evidence he has found, he has reasons not to believe your father."

"I don't care! My dad was wronged by him, he forced my dad to death!"

Xia Bingyang sighed softly, put his hand on Peng Jiashu's shoulder, felt that Peng Jiashu's body became stiff with his touch, but soon, Peng Jiashu relaxed.

Xia Bingyang said: "So, just like Min Chengzhou once 'wronged' your father for killing Hong Xin, you will now 'wrong' Min Chengzhou for killing Ran Jie, right?"

Peng Jiashu thought he had gained his trust, so he relaxed in front of him, but he relaxed too much for a moment, and when he heard this, he just stared at him blankly, and after a long time of dullness, he suddenly said, "I didn't! I saw Min Chengzhou with my own eyes. Killing, I saw it with my own eyes!"

Sensing that he was emotional, Xia Bingyang pressed his shoulders hard, and said in a serious tone: "Are you sure you saw it with your own eyes? You said that you were hiding on the balcony when the murder happened. There was a pair of white curtains on the balcony. You just You can see the figure inside, have you seen the face of the murderer?"

Peng Jiashu started to panic, looked around, and said stubbornly: "It's Min Chengzhou, it's Min Chengzhou who killed Ran Jie!"

Xia Bingyang said: "Even if you insist that you saw Min Chengzhou kill someone, I can't accept your statement, because the relationship between you and Min Chengzhou is too complicated. You hate him and want to kill him yourself. Based on this alone, the court will not Trust your testimony."

Peng Jiashu looked at him helplessly: "Then what should I do?"

Xia Bingyang patted him on the shoulder and said: "Min Chengzhou is dead. With your identity and position, you can't pour dirty water on him. Now there is only one way to avenge your father."

"any solution?"

Xia Bingyang said solemnly: "Cooperate with us, cooperate with the police, tell everything, and find the real murderer."

Peng Jiashu shrank his shoulders and hugged his knees, hiding like he was afraid of something.

Xia Bingyang looked at him and asked, "Are you going to let your father die innocently?"

Peng Jiashu choked up and said, "No, my dad didn't kill anyone, he is innocent."

"Then you trust the police and cooperate with me to find the real murderer, so that your father can be cleared."

The word "believe in the police" is too far away for Peng Jiashu. He looked at Xia Bingyang with tears in his eyes, shook his head stubbornly and said, "I don't trust the police, I only trust you."

Xia Bingyang smiled sadly, and said: "Then you just trust me, do whatever I tell you to do. You can't lie to me, and you can't try to use the loopholes in the law to pour dirty water on the dead Min Chengzhou. You are not doing this for you Father's revenge, he just insulted a criminal policeman who performed his duties. Do you understand?"

Peng Jiashu was stunned for a long time, then wiped away the tears from his face, and looked at Xia Bingyang with all his reliance, his eyes were brave and determined like never before, and cried, "I see, I'll listen to you, and I'll tell the truth."

Xia Bingyang looked at him, tears seemed to wash away all the sluggish and cowardly look on Peng Jiashu's face. At this time, Peng Jiashu was just a 26-year-old boy with firm eyes and slightly childish eyes.

Ren Erdong took the crying Peng Jiashu to the bathroom to wash his face, then brought him back and let him sit at the end of the conference table.

Xia Bingyang sat directly opposite him, a notebook was placed in front of Li Zhiming ready to record, and the camera on the side was facing Peng Jiashu.

Peng Jiashu's pent-up grief was finally vented, and he cried for a while, and even now he still couldn't recover, and was in a daze.

Ren Erdong opened his hand and shook it in front of him. Peng Jiashu followed his palm with his eyes calmly. Ren Erdong led his eyes to the camera and said, "Smile."

Peng Jiashu grinned stiffly, and Ren Erdong clicked his tongue: "It's over, I'm so stupid to cry."

Xia Bingyang glanced at him, pushed a glass of untouched water in front of Peng Jiashu, and said, "You can say whatever I ask you later, and don't ask questions that I haven't asked, do you hear me?"

Peng Jiashu said: "I heard it."

Xia Bingyang exhorted: "Tell the truth, just tell what you saw, and you must not make your own guesses. Are you clear?"

Peng Jiashu nodded obediently: "Clear, officer."

Xia Bingyang gave Li Zhiming a startling look, looked at Peng Jiashu and asked the first question: "July 7, 12:7 pm, the night of Ran Jie's death, where were you?"

"In Lido Hotel, on the balcony of room 40F."

"Why is there"

"I, I wanted to take revenge on Min Chengzhou, so I followed him to the Lido Hotel."

"What did you see?"

"I saw the figure of a woman in the room."

"Is it Ran Jie?"

Peng Jiashu looked up at Xia Bingyang, Xia Bingyang nodded towards him.

So Peng Jiashu said: "I didn't see her face, I only saw her shadow, but that woman has long hair, and her figure is very similar to Ran Jie."

"What happened next?"

"I waited for 2 minutes and heard someone knock on the door. Then I saw a man and a woman in the room. The woman was soon knocked out by the man, and her voice could no longer be heard."

"Go on."

"I was scared when I saw her being knocked out, and then I hurried back to the hotel and left."

"Who is that man? Did you see his face?"

Peng Jiashu looked at Xia Bingyang again, Xia Bingyang was still watching him calmly.

Peng Jiashu paused for a while before saying, "I didn't see his face, only his shadow."

Xia Bingyang said again: "So you can't be sure that the man who walked into the room on the 40th floor is Min Chengzhou?"

Peng Jiashu just repeated in a low voice: "I didn't see his face, so I don't know if he is Min Chengzhou."

"You didn't see Ran Jie being killed, you only saw Ran Jie being knocked out?"

"Yes, I was afraid of being discovered by the people inside, so I hurried away when I saw the woman lying on the ground."

Xia Bingyang raised his hand and pressed down, and Li Zhiming turned off the camera.

"Peng Family Tree."

Xia Bingyang looked at Peng Jiashu and shouted.

The Peng family stood up and looked up at him: "Police officer."

Xia Bingyang smiled: "My surname is Xia."

Peng Jiashu also smiled: "Officer Xia."

Xia Bingyang nodded slightly, his expression became serious again, and said: "Just now, a corpse was dug up in Bafang Street, Dafeng Road. The deceased was a woman, about 20 years old. She was sexually assaulted, her lower body was naked, and her hands were covered with underwear. tied behind your back."

Peng Jiashu was at a loss for a moment, then suddenly understood his words, and said excitedly, "Then Hong Xin was also killed by this person?"

Xia Bingyang looked at him with dark eyes, and said, "Maybe there is Ran Jie."

Peng Jiashu was stunned for a moment, suddenly felt needles on his back, and said in fear: "The man I saw on the balcony was the murderer who killed Hong Xin back then?" over him.

Xia Bingyang said: "Not necessarily, I have another guess."

Everyone present listened attentively.

Xia Bingyang pondered for a moment, and said: "The person who killed Hong Xin was always free, and the possibility of him continuing to commit crimes cannot be ruled out. The fatal wound on Hong Xin's neck was on the right side of the neck, indicating that the murderer was left-handed, and today The fatal wound on the neck of the excavated female corpse is on the left side of the neck, indicating that the murderer is right-handed. Including Ran Jie, who died on July 7, the wound was also on the left side of the neck. The modus operandi of these three murders is roughly the same , There is only a slight difference. There are two reasons for this difference, either the murderer who killed the corpse of Bafang Street and Ran Jie was imitating the crime, or the murderer changed his modus operandi, and for some reason, killed with his right hand instead. "

Ren Erdong asked him: "You don't doubt Bureau Min anymore?"

Xia Bingyang said: "Even if I doubt Bureau Min, I can only suspect that Bureau Min killed Ran Jie. There is no evidence to suspect that he also killed someone three years ago. Furthermore, if I doubt Bureau Min, then the participation from 12 years to Now there are three people involved in the three murder cases, the real murderer, the imitation murderer, and Bureau Min." After speaking, he looked at Ren Erdong with a faint smile: "Isn't it chaotic?"

Ren Erdong tapped his fingers on the table, meditating without answering.

Lou Yue said again: "How can we advance now?"

Xia Bingyang said: "At least it has been confirmed that the person who killed Ran Jie might not be Bureau Min, then this person may be the person who killed the female corpse in Bafang Street three years ago. Now there are two investigation routes, or treat these three murders as a crime." One person did the investigation, or the three murders were investigated as if two people did the investigation."

"Did two people do it? Is it the copycat crime you said?"

Xia Bingyang leaned back on the back of the chair, looked at the ceiling and muttered: "That's right, according to the current situation, the first line of investigation doesn't work. The case started with Hong Xin, and the evidence for Hong Xin's case is even more lacking. I can only use the second way of thinking, and I'm still a little confused."

Lou Yue felt unreliable: "You want to check the female body in Bafang Street?"

"Otherwise? Hong Xin's murder case and Ran Jie's murder case are both dead ends. The only turning point now is the Bafang Street female corpse case."

Lou Yue agreed with his plan for the time being, and then asked, "Okay, where do we start?"

Xia Bingyang was silent for a long time, then suddenly raised the corners of his lips, and said with a slight smile: "It starts with imitation."

Seeing his mysterious appearance, Ren Erdong wanted to kick him from under the table, but as soon as he stretched his leg over, Xia Bingyang lifted his foot to dodge him.

Xia Bingyang ignored him, turned to Li Zhiming and said, "Find me all the newspapers that reported on the case of hiding corpses in the bridge cave for 12 years."

In less than 10 minutes, Li Zhiming found all the online and offline reports.

Xia Bingyang said: "Enter keywords to search, the characteristics of the wound, the modus operandi, etc. Also, see which media posted the photos of the scene."

Li Zhiming searched diligently within the area he had drawn, and said after a long while: "Team leader, the place where the body was found was too remote, and the media didn't take photos of the scene. The photos they released were only photos of Hong Xin before he was alive."

Hearing what he said, Xia Bingyang felt half confident, and asked again: "How detailed is the report?"

"Rape first, then kill, and dump the body in the old bridge hole. Almost every media outlet wrote about it. They didn't write about the detailed process of committing the crime. The focus was on the suspected murderer, Peng Mao."

Xia Bingyang lowered his eyes and said with a slight smile: "In other words, the media did not expose the murderer's modus operandi." As he said that, he raised his eyes to look at Ren Erdong and Lou Yue and said, "Then how did the imitator know?"

Ren Erdong was startled: "Damn, that's right, the victim's hands were bound with underwear, and a penetrating wound was created on the victim's neck. If it's a coincidence, it's a fucking coincidence!"

Xia Bingyang said coldly: "What a coincidence, this is a picture of a gourd."

Lou Yue said: "Since the media did not expose the modus operandi, this person still committed the crime according to the murderer's method of killing Hong Xin, there is only one explanation, this person has access to first-hand information."

Xia Bingyang said, "Not only the police who handle the case know, but also him."

After speaking, he turned to look at Peng Jiashu.

Peng Jiashu suddenly became the center of attention, and he sat there blankly and at a loss.

Xia Bingyang looked at him and asked, "Did you tell anyone else the details the police revealed?"

Peng Jiashu blushed slowly, lowered his head and hesitated for a while as he recalled some unbearable memories, and said, "Also, there is Huang Yong."

"Who?"

"They all call him Brother Yong. He is the boss in the prison. It is his people who beat and torture me every day."

"How did he know your identity?"

The Peng family blushed angrily, gritted their teeth and said, "It was the prison guard who said that I was the son of a rapist and murderer. Huang Yong kept forcing me to say how my dad raped Hong Xin and how he raped her. Killed. I didn’t want to say it, but he beat me and pushed me into the potty to eat shit. I couldn’t help it, so I told him again and again.”

Peng Jiashu shed tears again, with a stubborn and humiliated expression.

Xia Bingyang knew that this Huang Yong should be a prison tyrant, because he bribed the prison boss, he became the king and hegemony, doing whatever he wanted.

"Have you given him all the details?"

Xia Bingyang asked.

Peng Jiashu choked up and said, "If I don't tell, he will beat me to death. Once he forced me to swallow a fishbone, but the prison guards didn't care."

Xia Bingyang glanced at Li Zhiming, and Li Zhiming quickly retrieved Huang Yong's information from the internal system, and immediately said: "Team leader, I found it. Huang Yong was sentenced to 08 years in prison in 10 for being involved in gangsters and abetting murder." In 09 and 12, his sentence was commuted twice, and he was released from prison on August 16, 8. In 23, Bafang Street had not yet been built into a business district, and it was a dilapidated tube building. Huang Yong lived there after he was released from prison. Film tube building!"

Ren Erdong immediately stood up, looking at Xia Bingyang ready to go, just waiting for his order to arrest him.

Xia Bingyang glanced at the computer screen unhurriedly: "Can you find out where Ran Jie was on the day of the accident?"

Li Zhiming tapped on the computer for a while, and said, "I found his credit card swiping records. He bought a set of knives at Jinming Department Store on Chunxi Road at 7:12 p.m. on July 3." He turned his head to look at Xia Bingyang: " There are only two intersections between Jinming Department Store and Ran Jie's flower shop."

When two coincidences collide, it is more than just a coincidence.

Xia Bingyang stood up slowly, raised his hand and stroked his hair back vigorously, staring at the door with piercing eyes: "Fuck | fuck, dig him out!"
