In the past nine years, the three people who had committed such a shocking crime had been living in Weizhou.
Ma Liqun had opened a mobile phone shop in Weizhou. Although the business wasn't too good, it wasn't a problem for him to make ends meet.
Gong Peiwang worked in a cable factory, while his wife worked in a pharmaceutical factory.
Ma Juncai was the only one who was doing well out of the three. He had established a housekeeping service company and was doing well. His annual income was around 100,000 yuan.
The three of them had moved their families to Weizhou. Not only did their children go to school in Weizhou, Ma Juncai and Gong Peiwang even had a second child …
On the surface, the three of them were living the lives of ordinary people. Although they weren't rich, they were getting by.
However, under the surface of their ordinary lives, the three of them were living in extreme pain and suffering from heavy mental pressure.
That stormy night in Huayun Mountain had become an eternal nightmare. It had taken root in the three of them and couldn't be erased.
Although they were living every day, the three of them felt like they had become empty shells of zombies. Every day, they lived in fear and guilt. They didn't know why they were happy.
The smiles on the faces of the three of them seemed to be cursed. In the past nine years, their families had never seen them smile sincerely, nor had they seen their eyebrows relax in relief …
Under such strong mental pressure, the three of them looked old even though they were young. Ma Liqun had long lost his hair. Gong Peiwang had hair, but it was all white. As for Ma Juncai, he was so thin and weak that he looked withered. He looked like he had one foot in the grave …
According to the three of them, one of the things they often did was to buy sleeping pills. Without sleeping pills, they wouldn't be able to sleep peacefully even once!
The three of them often gathered together to drink, but none of them spoke at the table. It was truly "drinking" …
Furthermore, they knew that the police wouldn't let their guard down after committing such a heinous crime. Thus, they were constantly worried that the police would suddenly barge in and handcuff them!
All these years, they paid the most attention to legal programs. Every time they saw news of old cases being solved by the police or criminals who had been on the run for many years being caught by the police, they felt upset.
They always had the illusion that the people who were handcuffed on TV were themselves …
As the Headless Female Corpses Case, the Reservoir Dismembered Corpse Case, the Devil Case, and the Rural Homicide Case were solved one after another, their psychological state became more and more serious.
Especially after learning that three of the unsolved cases had been solved by Detective Zhao Yu, who was known as the Unsolved Cases Cleaner, in a short period of time, the three of them felt even worse. They didn't want to eat or drink, and were restless. They didn't have the mood to do anything else.
During this period, Ma Juncai and Gong Peiwang were hospitalized, and their minds were on the verge of collapse …
Under such pressure, the three of them already had the idea of surrendering themselves to the police. Now, of the five unsolved cases, only Hua Yunshan's case was left. They felt that the chances of them escaping by a fluke was almost zero. There was no way to escape!
Just then, the Hanging Coffin Case suddenly appeared. When the three of them learned that the detective who was investigating the Hanging Coffin Case was the famous Zhao Yu, they were extremely nervous.
As a result, in less than a week, the Hanging Coffin Case was announced to have been solved. This undoubtedly overwhelmed the last straw of hope for the three of them.
They had already determined that after Zhao Yu solved the Hanging Coffin Case, he would never let go of the Hua Yunshan Case, which was close at hand!
As long as Zhao Yu was in charge of this case, they would have nowhere to run.
The three of them had read the details of the Headless Female Corpses Case and the Devil Case, and they knew that compared to criminals like Li Fei and Han Kuan, they were worlds apart.
If even such people couldn't beat Detective Zhao Yu, then three small fries like them wouldn't be able to.
So, after a strong mental struggle, the three of them unanimously decided:
Instead of waiting to be arrested, it was better to stand up and surrender!
Of course, the three of them also made it clear that Detective Zhao's fame was only an incentive for them to surrender!
The reason why they chose to surrender was more because of the guilt they had suffered for so many years. They didn't want to live in fear, fear, and numbness anymore!
Therefore, surrendering was also a kind of relief …
Croak …
Just as Zhao Yu was looking through the information, there was a sudden clap of thunder outside the window, and the rain became heavier in an instant.
Zhao Yu took a sip of red wine and thought to himself, Is there going to be a rainstorm tonight?
I wonder if this rainstorm is a special memorial for Ji Kai's family?
Zhao Yu was considered a veteran in the detective world. After looking at the entire case that the murderer had told him, he could basically determine that the incident was true!
This case was different from the major unsolved cases he had solved before. Although the nature of the case was bad, it was not as complicated as other cases.
There shouldn't be any framing, deceit, or other human factors involved in this.
Therefore, with the three people surrendering, the Hua Yunshan Case could basically be declared closed!
From today on, the yellow notebook in his hand would officially become a historical relic. The five ticks on the first page represented that the five major unsolved cases had all been closed …
Hua hua hua …
Looking at the heavy rain outside the window, Zhao Yu couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
In fact, he had already expected this disappointment, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly and affect his state of mind so much!
Sigh!
Thinking back, ever since he had become a police officer, a large part of Zhao Yu's journey was inseparable from the yellow notebook.
It was through the investigation of the five major unsolved cases that he had matured and improved today. Without the yellow notebook, Zhao Yu really didn't know what he would be like right now.
Whether it was dedication or hard work, for a long time, just like the miracle system in his brain, he had developed a dependence on the notebook.
Now that he realized that the notebook could be retired, he couldn't help but feel a little reluctant to let go. Of course, what was difficult to let go was not the notebook itself, but the feelings that came from investigating the five major unsolved cases!
Croak …
Another clap of thunder sounded, and the rain splashed against the floor-to-ceiling window. It was as if the whole world was immersed in the rain …
This rain … is really not light!
Zhao Yu thought to himself. He suddenly remembered that he still had one thing to do. Since the cold period of the miracle system was over, should he open a hexagram?
He wondered, as the Huayun Mountain Case was nearing its end, would there be another high-level miracle event?
Thinking about how the system was always unpredictable, Zhao Yu couldn't help but look forward to it. He wondered what kind of weird hexagram he would get today?
He immediately opened the system and opened a new hexagram.
In the end, the word "Zhen Li" appeared on the interface, which made Zhao Yu quite disappointed. "Bro system, you really have a personality. I was hoping that you would be unpredictable, but you're actually following the rules!
Sigh!
Just as Zhao Yu was feeling disappointed, the door suddenly opened. He saw a dripping wet Miao Ying quickly enter the room.
"Wow … the rain is so heavy," Miao Ying quickly took off her jacket and said, "I thought it would only be two steps, and I wouldn't need an umbrella, but I'm still drenched. So unlucky …"
Looking at the beautiful woman with long wet legs standing in front of him, Zhao Yu's eyes flashed with desire.
"Hehehe," he thought. "Since the notebook has made me feel down, and the system is not helping, then tonight … I'll have to find some fun myself!
