"No matter what the result is, there was a murder on Yongjin Island, and someone died!" Wu Xiumin said on the phone. "The Maritime Bureau couldn't find a suitable lighthouse keeper for a while, so they let Liu Caiyun, the wife of the original lighthouse keeper, continue to guard the lighthouse. She continued to pay her salary and guard the lighthouse. "
Wu Xiumin paused for a moment, then said, "However, since the accident, the public has been boiling over. However, more people were inclined to the crew's side, thinking that Cai Xiangbin was innocent. If Cai Xiangbin was really a brutal murderer, why didn't he kill Liu Caiyun as well? Even if he didn't kill Liu Caiyun, why didn't he find a way to escape? "
Wu Xiumin paused for a moment, then said, "It is said that when Cai Xiangbin was caught, he was still sleeping in his room. If he really killed someone, he shouldn't have been in that state!
However, the police had to judge the case based on the facts. All the evidence was against Cai Xiangbin, and Liu Caiyun insisted that Cai Xiangbin murdered and raped her.
In the end, under such circumstances, the court could only sentence the sailor, Cai Xiangbin, to death! But … Maybe the Cai family found someone else, or maybe the judges thought that there might be a loophole in the case, so they didn't execute him. Instead, they commuted the sentence to death with a reprieve.
The Cai family still had some influence in Quliang. They firmly believed that Cai Xiangbin was innocent and had been wronged by Liu Caiyun. So, after Cai Xiangbin was sentenced, the Cai family made a lot of noise and propaganda to convince all the people in Quliang that Cai Xiangbin was innocent.
At that time, if Liu Caiyun hadn't been living on Yongjin Island, I'm afraid that people would have drowned her. People called her a murderer, a slut, a vicious woman, and so on … "Wu Xiumin paused for a moment, then said," Maybe because of the fear of gossip, Liu Caiyun couldn't stay on the island any longer.
"Perhaps because gossip is a fearful thing, Liu Caiyun couldn't stay any longer. She only stayed on the island for half a year before she suddenly left." Wu Xiumin then said, "Team leader, I got this information from an old cadre of the Maritime Bureau, so it should be more accurate than what people say.
"He said that after the lighthouse keeper's wife had left, a nameless grave had mysteriously appeared on the island, and that the grave stood in the backyard of their house.
"Some people said that Liu Caiyun died. Someone buried her, and her body was buried in the grave. Others said that the wife of the lighthouse keeper was pregnant with a child, but the child didn't survive, so she buried it in the grave …
"At that time, Liu Caiyun left suddenly and didn't leave anything behind. The Maritime Bureau reported it to the police, and the police searched for it as a missing person.
"However, because Liu Caiyun didn't have any immediate family members, after the search was fruitless, the matter was slowly put on hold. As for whether the new grave had been dug up or not, no one knew. Then, with the wind and rain, the small grave gradually disappeared!
"After Liu Caiyun disappeared, the Maritime Administration sent many new lighthouse guards over, but none of them could stay on the island. At that time, people by the sea were superstitious. Coupled with such a murder case, who dared to stay there? "
Wu Xiumin then said, "Maybe in order to find a reason to leave, the lighthouse guards began to spread rumors that there were female ghosts on the island and that they often heard the cries of female ghosts. As a result, no one dared to go there!"
"After a few years, the role of the lighthouse gradually declined, and the Maritime Bureau never sent anyone to Yongjin Island again. That's when the story of the lighthouse guards finally came to an end. But, since then, no one has seen Liu Caiyun again."
"Oh …" Zhao Yu nodded, then said to Wu Xiumin, "Wu, there are still a few things that I need you to do. Gao wants to get the DNA of the three people. Although they may not be alive now, as long as they can find their immediate family members, they can still be identified. So, you are responsible for looking for them!
"Don't worry. I have already informed Captain Dou, and he will send someone to assist you. First, you need to retrieve the records of the case, and then you can look for them. So, you can go to the Quliang Police Station first! "
"Okay, but …" Wu Xiumin said, "Leader, I suddenly remembered something you said before. You once said that the island murder case may have been caused by an accident. The murderer originally wanted to kill one person in the crew, but because of an accident, he killed more people. So … The cause you mentioned … Could it be because of the grudge between Liu Caiyun and Cai Xiangbin? "
"Oh?" Zhao Yu was a little surprised.
"Do you think that Liu Caiyun's disappearance had something to do with the Cai family?" Wu Xiumin said. "The Cai family was angry that the lighthouse guard's wife had hurt Cai Xiangbin so badly, so they imprisoned her and forced her to change her confession or bully her by other means.
"Then, after so many years, someone came forward to avenge Liu Caiyun?" Wu Xiumin said seriously. "So, the murderer just wanted to kill the editor, Cai Jinda! But, unexpectedly, there was an accident at the scene, so he had no choice but to kill more people! My God … "After Wu Xiumin said this in one breath, she was shocked by herself." When did I become so imaginative? "
"Um … But, no matter how imaginative you are, you still have to think about it!" Zhao Yu nodded in affirmation, but in his heart, he felt that Wu Xiumin's idea was a little too wild.
After hanging up the phone, he hurried to the whiteboard and began to add more information.
Cai Jinda was Cai Xiangbin's nephew.
Zhao Yu drew a line on the whiteboard, connecting the two names together. Then, he drew many blank circles next to Cai Xiangbin's name.
These circles meant that if he wanted to find out what happened to Liu Caiyun, he should ask the elders of the Cai family, especially Cai Jinda's father.
However, Cai Jinda's father had been dead for many years, and the other Cai brothers were all dead. If he wanted to continue, he could only start with Cai Jinda's mother or other older women.
But … Would these women know the inside story?
At this point in the case, Zhao Yu became more and more worried that he might have gone off-topic. Was a name lawsuit from so long ago really related to the island murder case in front of them?
In the beginning, Zhao Yu had been confident and had never wavered. But now, he felt that the clue was getting further and further away from him. It was getting more and more vague.
At two o 'clock in the afternoon, some of the evidence that Gao Facai had sent over had been safely delivered to the command ship. Among the many pieces of evidence, there were important items such as the mobile phones of the deceased and the cameras used by the crew.
According to the procedure, the police needed to check all the electronic materials to see if there were any important clues. Naturally, the special investigation group could not handle such a large workload, so they needed the assistance of the professional staff of the Quliang Police Station.
Therefore, under the command of Bureau Chief Wang Chenggang, a large number of experienced police officers were transferred over to help with this heavy work. Before starting, Bureau Chief Wang repeatedly emphasized the importance of this work, asking them not to miss a single frame of the video and to check it carefully.
Unexpectedly, after all the arrangements were made, Zhao Yu did not stay on the ship to direct the work. Instead, he said a few words to Zeng Ke, then borrowed a speedboat from Bureau Chief Wang and headed for the land.
Neither Zeng Ke nor Bureau Chief Wang knew where Zhao Yu was going, so they were naturally curious.
However, Zhao Yu knew very well what he was going to do. That day, although he had gotten the same Gen Li hexagram as the day before, the location of the side adventure had changed.
Through the map, he found that the side adventure would take place near the beach in Quliang. At such a moment, Zhao Yu naturally couldn't miss such an important side adventure, so he drove the boat to the beach ahead of time.
Thinking back, the side quest had helped Zhao Yu a lot. Even during the Headless Female Corpses Case, it was thanks to the side quest that he had found important clues.
