Chapter 266 (1/2)

Aoki thought for a long time before deciding to find Yu Jianguo first.

When he went to the criminal investigation team to ask about Zhao Pengcheng and Yu Jianguo, Shi Dazhuang felt strange. While asking Hu Xing to get the file, he asked, ”the case of these two people has been closed long ago. Why do you ask them?”

Aoki asked, ”how many years was the final sentence?”

Shi Dazhuang said: ”Yu Jianguo seems to be seventeen years. Zhao Pengcheng is relatively heavy. He was sentenced to death with a reprieve because he was suspected of intentional homicide.”

Hu Xing found the file and showed it to Qingmu.

”Isn't Yu Jianguo the mastermind? Why is he sentenced to 17 years?” Aoki asked while reading the file.

Shi Dazhuang said, ”Yu Jianguo is mainly connected with several criminal gangs, but he is not the main member of the gang. The reason why he and Zhao Pengcheng committed the crime together is to avenge Zhao's sister. Zhao Pengcheng was the main murderer, and Yu Jianguo was only an accomplice. Moreover, he later made meritorious contributions and helped us catch several gangs and human traffickers selling organs.”

Aoki found the part about the vegetable on the file, read it for a long time and asked, ”did Zhao Pengcheng explain the reason for taking away the vegetable's brain?”

Hu Xing replied: ”I remember this very clearly, because when you were hypnotized and interrogated, I was interrupted by my phone. Later, when you interrogated Zhao Pengcheng, I asked this question. According to his account, it was to practice surgical techniques, because he was a general surgeon and had no chance to perform extracerebral surgery. And the vegetative organ had been emptied, so I just practiced I had a brain operation. ”

”Is this statement too reluctant?”

”We also feel that this motive is not tenable. In the process of committing a crime, people must be in a high state of tension. How can they still spend time and energy to practice brain surgery at the risk of being found after the operation fails?” Hu Xing said.

”Then why did you accept this statement again?”

”Because we can't find out his motive for lying, this statement not only can't commute his sentence, but also may make the trial judge think he has lost his humanity and aggravate the sentencing,” Shi Dazhuang said, ”After you opened the door for us and asked Zhao Pengcheng to confess Yu Jianguo, Zhao's psychological defense line has been opened. He explained all the crimes, including the other two cases we didn't know. From the common sense, he has no reason to lie about this detail. And whether he lied or not, this confession has no impact on our criminal investigation work, I think We just record it truthfully for the reference of the prosecution and the judge. ”

Aoki nodded and almost understood. He originally suspected that Jianguo was an alien, because when he hypnotized Zhao Pengcheng last time, he didn't find anything abnormal about the conscious body itself. Now it seems that Zhao Pengcheng is more likely.

It is impossible to verify whether the vegetable's brain is infected with gray brain virus, but judging from Zhao Pengcheng's modus operandi and his subsequent confession, it can be basically determined that it is him.

”Is the identity information of the dead vegetable still there?” Aoki asked.

Hu Xing helped him turn the file to the back, pointed to one page and said, ”here it is. The deceased was a returned overseas Chinese and had many industries at home and abroad. Except that his daughter was in the United States, his family lived with him in Wuzhong.”

Aoki looked at the man's introduction carefully, wrote down his name and asked Hu Xing, ”your family has contacts with these rich businessmen. Did you know this man before?”
