In a luxurious hotel room in Fu Lai City.
Zhao Yu poured himself a glass of red wine. As he sipped it, he flipped through the information in the yellow notebook.
Even though he had already memorized all the information, he still read it very seriously.
What Zhao Yu was looking at was information related to the Huayun Mountain massacre.
On a rainy night nine years ago, a disaster befell a mansion in the Huayun Mountain Villa District.
Ji Kai, a senior engineer in the Huayun Mountain Science and Technology Park, and his family of four were murdered in their home. In addition to Ji Kai and his young wife, there was also their son and daughter. The son was eight years old, and the daughter was only five years old!
As soon as the murder case came out, it caused a sensation all over the country and attracted the public's attention. The murderer's cruelty was appalling, and the nature of the case was very bad. The police immediately put in all their manpower to investigate.
Originally, the residential area was equipped with strict surveillance equipment, and the murderer's fingerprints and footprints were left at the murder scene. Logically speaking, the case should not be difficult to solve.
Unfortunately, the heavy rain on the night of the crime changed everything.
That heavy rain was the worst that Huayun Mountain had seen in decades.
Not only did the heavy rain cause a power outage in the residential area, but it also destroyed a lot of outdoor evidence, making it impossible for the police to determine the murderer's escape route.
It was also because of the heavy rain that the police could not find a single eyewitness, which increased the difficulty of the investigation.
The police had no choice but to use the tactic of using numbers to search every house in the nearby villages and towns, looking for suspicious targets, and comparing their fingerprints.
But in the end, it was all in vain.
Such a vicious case naturally attracted the attention of the Central Criminal Division. For nine years, it had been listed as one of the five major cold cases, and the investigation had never stopped.
But the strange thing was that the murderer had disappeared without a trace, as if he had evaporated from the face of the earth.
The police judged from the traces at the scene that there were at least three criminals at the scene. Judging from the footprints, the height of the three was between 1.7 and 1.8 meters.
In addition, the police also judged from the messy traces at the scene that the murderer was very flustered when he committed the crime. It was probably their first time committing the crime, and there was no careful planning.
Secondly, the police also found that the window on the second floor of the villa had obvious signs of being pried open, and there were footprints and water stains in the area inside the window. It was suspected that the criminals had broken into the villa through the window.
Moreover, in many rooms of the villa, there were traces of rummaging. It was suspected that the criminals came to steal property.
In addition, according to the investigation, Ji Kai's family had wanted to visit his parents in Xiakou that night. The family of four had left the villa by car, but because of the heavy rain, they were worried that something might happen, so they decided to return to the villa at the last minute.
Therefore, from the very beginning, all the criminal investigation experts, including Captain Jin, believed that the massacre of the Hua Yun Mountain sect was most likely caused by an accident.
Perhaps the criminals sneaked into the villa just to steal the property, but unexpectedly, Ji Kai's family suddenly returned and bumped into them.
Because of this, an argument broke out. The criminals were worried that Ji Kai would recognize them, so they killed Ji Kai's entire family!
Hua hua …
Hua hua …
He didn't know if it was a coincidence or if it was a fitting scene.
Just as Zhao Yu was looking at the information, it suddenly started raining outside the window!
Although the rain was not heavy, it reminded Zhao Yu of the night of the Huayun Mountain tragedy.
Everything seemed to have been predestined.
If it had not been for the rainstorm, perhaps the criminals would not have thought of stealing. If it had not been for the rainstorm, Ji Kai's family would not have returned halfway, and they would not have met with such a tragedy. If it had not been for the rainstorm, at least the police would have been able to find the culprit.
Zhao Yu held his wine glass and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window. Through the window, he could see that the long street outside the hotel was already covered in rain!
Under the streetlights, where the light shone, he could see clear lines of rain. They were like a string of sharp arrows falling on the road, causing splashes of water …
Gulp …
Zhao Yu took a sip of wine, and once again recalled all the memories of the Hua Yun Mountain massacre case in his mind.
Ever since he had gotten the yellow notebook and decided to solve the five cold cases, Zhao Yu had been very concerned about the massacre case.
If it were not for the fact that the other cold cases were old, he would definitely have investigated this case first.
Later, after the experience of solving the other cold cases, Zhao Yu became even more interested in this case. He even developed an obsession that he could not get rid of. He wanted to solve this case as soon as possible, catch the cruel murderers, and bring them to justice!
After that experience, Zhao Yu's view of the Huayun Mountain Case had changed. He began to wonder if there were other possibilities regarding the truth of the case.
Could there be another reason why the culprit had brutally massacred Ji Kai's family? What if … the culprit had purposely disguised it as an attempted theft, or an accidental murder?
Although Ji Kai's resume looked very simple, behind his glamorous identity, was there some unspeakable secret? And that secret was the real reason for the massacre?
Hua hua …
At that moment, the rain outside the window was getting heavier. Even through the window, Zhao Yu could feel the damp air blowing against his face.
Sigh!
Zhao Yu sighed and switched on his phone again. He looked through the latest information that the Hua Yun Mountain police had sent them.
Unexpectedly, with the three murderers surrendering themselves to the police, Zhao Yu's previous conjectures had been completely overturned!
According to the confession of the three murderers, there was nothing wrong with the police's judgment. Their original motive was to steal something!
Fifteen kilometers away from the Hua Yun Mountain villa area, there was a remote mountain village called Lingyuan Village.
Ma Liqun, Gong Peiwang, and Ma Juncai were all villagers from the village.
Back then, although they were all young men in their early twenties, they were already married and had their own wives and children.
The village was not rich to begin with, and there was a disaster that year. Forced to make ends meet, the three of them decided to go out and work to support their families.
The three of them went to Xiakou and worked at a construction site for more than half a year. They could have earned a considerable amount of money.
But he never expected that the construction company would suddenly go bankrupt, and the foreman would run away to collect the money.
Not only did the three of them not earn anything, but they also spent all of their savings! In the end, they had to borrow tickets from other workers to go home.
Originally, they did not intend to go home, but seeing that the New Year was approaching, and they were worried about their wives and children at home, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and take the train back.
On that train, when they saw the other workers in high spirits, the three of them became more and more depressed. The more they thought about it, the more they felt wronged.
For the past six months, they had been living frugally. Almost every meal was porridge and steamed buns. But in the end, they had received such an outcome. Naturally, they were upset.
