C60 (1/2)
After talking with Auntie Wang on the phone, Wei Shijie and I rushed back to the Public Security Bureau. Although Liao Mengfann is unconscious, her life is not in danger. The Public Security Bureau has sent a female colleague to take care of her, although I really want to stay and take care of her, I have more important things to do.
After returning to the Public Security Bureau, I presided over a separate meeting on Task Force. This meeting was originally hosted by the Elder Liang, but since the old man gave me this lead in Yongan City, he gradually started to view me as the substitute team leader for his Task Force. I was really inexperienced, moreover, right now my pillar, Liao Mengfann, was also unconscious. At that time, I felt extremely helpless.
However, from a different perspective, I am still considered a seven foot man. As a man, you can't let me fall at such a crucial moment, my dad won't forgive me, Liao Mengfann will look down on me, and I definitely won't forgive myself!
Looking at the three familiar faces on the table, I let out a long sigh of relief. After burying my feelings in the depths of my heart, I lit a cigarette and said to everyone: ”We've found the first dead body on the butt. It's confirmed, it's indeed Wang Yang!”
I continued, ”So far, the identity of the first victim has been identified, but there is a contradiction here …”
”Zhou Xiaoxiao, Da Qiangzi, and the village head of the Wealth Gathering Village have all participated in the second case. However, up until now, we have not found any witnesses in the first case, and the witness in the second case is a lunatic. We have not found a single piece of direct evidence in our hands to hold them accountable!”
I continued, ”At the moment, Zhou Xiaoxiao's position can only be suspended. I think we should start by investigating him from the beginning. His social relations before she goes to jail, as well as the person he raped, are all important matters that we need to investigate.”
”We still need to investigate Zhou Xiaoxiao, Da Qiangzi and the village head, and see if they have anything to do with Wang Yang, especially that girl Zhou Xiaoxiao. She has her suspicions, what exactly is her role in this case?” I added, ”The identity of Zhou Xiaoxiao's boyfriend is also very important. If we compare Zhou Xiaoxiao to the culprit, will she take revenge because of her emotional injury?”
Wei Shijie said: ”Leave the social relations between Wang Yang and the criminals to me. I can infiltrate the local archives and very soon, I can find the identity of the female student he raped!”
I nodded, then said to Wei Shijie: ”Go and check Zhou Xiaoxiao's university records at that time, her enrollment time, as well as her knowledge etc. It would be best if you could find her university instructor at that time, and we'll contact him as soon as possible to see if we can find out the identity of her boyfriend!”
”Sure, no problem!” After Wei Shijie finished speaking, he took his computer and started working.
Brother Huang and I, as well as the Elder Liang, continued our discussion. Elder Liang told us that he wanted to be an investigator, but I felt that this method wasn't appropriate.
The old man shook his head, then slammed the table and said: ”Look at County Head Mu's condition, he can still wander around for the people of Shanghe County, do you think that I, this old man, can still stay idle in the office? Isn't this just embarrassing the Task Force? ”
In the end, I decided to follow Elder Liang, while Brother Huang continued to return to the Estuary Village. Although Cheng Yuee did not find anything abnormal, I still felt that she had played a role in this case.
Although this is my personal guess, ever since Liao Mengfann and I met, I seem to have been affected by her. I feel that my sixth sense is also gradually becoming more accurate.
I stood up and patted Brother Huang on the shoulder, then said to him: ”Brother Huang, thank you for the hard work, the conditions there are difficult, after the case is over, let's go back to the capital to have a drink!”
”Hehe, alright!” Brother Huang held my hand and said: ”It's all because of this case, we are family, there's nothing that can't be considered as hard work, I'm leaving first!”
After Brother Huang left the conference room, I dialed Wang Meiqing's aunty's number. I really wanted to meet Wang Yang's family, maybe through them, I can find out more valuable things.
Aunt Wang Meiqing said that they would be at the Shanghe County Public Security Bureau in an hour. She gave me a suggestion on the phone, saying that Wang Yang's mother dotes on her son, and she hasn't told Wang Yang's mother about the news that Wang Yang has been killed yet. She told me to investigate using a tactful method and not tell her the truth directly.
I agreed to Auntie Wang's request. I have lost my mother since I was young and I understand this pain very well. Wei Shijie was still busy at the side, his fingers continuously flying around the keyboard, looking very beautiful.
After a while, Wei Shijie's forehead was covered in perspiration, his expression was serious, he would occasionally stroke his nose, and occasionally he would continuously shake his head, looking a little anxious. I felt that something was wrong with his condition. In the past, when he played computer games, he would always be very calm. What was wrong with him?
I walked up behind him and asked, ”What's the matter?”
”Strange!” Wei Shijie did not look at me, but stared at the file on the screen and said: ”I transferred information about Wang Yang, but his information was purposefully deleted, and very thoroughly deleted, and there is no way to recover it!”
”You can't do it either?”
