Yang Zhengqi, who was restoring the crime scene in all seriousness, cursed all of a sudden, shocking everyone at the scene.
However, when they saw Yang Zhengqi's severed arm, which was covered in blood and was tied together with half of the thick multi-legged poisonous insect's body, they could not help but feel a chill run down their spines. They had the urge to curse in their hearts.
Song Xinghe even turned the urge into reality. "F * ck my ancestors, what the hell is this?!"
Regardless of whether the Western Sichuan people believed in witchcraft or not, those strange cultures would inevitably accompany them as they grew up. Finding a poisonous insect's carcass that was so big that it did not look like a poisonous insect at the crime scene was undoubtedly the last thing that the Western Sichuan police wanted to see.
"Could it be a toy?" After a moment of silence at the crime scene, Wu Min, who was recording the crime scene, blurted out with a pale face.
Naturally, nobody answered such a childish question. Even Wu Min blushed after she asked the question.
In the end, Yang Zhengqi, who had the highest position at the scene, was the first to calm down. He said, "Ignore the insect carcass for now, let's continue with our work. Lil Wu, pay attention to the recording.
After A cut off his arm, he began to run to the kitchen. At the same time, C and D began to move as well, rushing to the kitchen.
The three of them eventually destroyed the kitchen door, but their target escaped through the window. Judging from the size of the kitchen window, the target should be very skinny. The footprints under the window in the courtyard also proved that.
After the target escaped, A began to chase after him. There was a pause here, perhaps he had a brief confrontation with the target, then A died on the spot.
After A was C, looking at the traces, C suddenly lost his ability to move for some reason when he was charging at the target. Considering the fact that he was kneeling when his abdomen was torn open, I boldly assume that the reason should be fear.
After C died, the killer targeted D. D died near the door. His body moved, but my preliminary judgment is that he must have wanted to escape and was killed … There's half of D's abdomen, which is the remaining half of the big insect. Everyone, please be careful not to be poisoned when we collect evidence later.
Do not record the following words. In summary, I conclude that for A and B's deaths, the murderer could be considered to have acted in self-defense, C's death was somewhere between self-defense and excessive self-defense, and D's was completely intentional murder.
Next, I would like to question the witnesses of this case. Is my description of the case and my final judgment correct? "
After saying that, Yang Zhengqi walked to Zhang Lisheng's side and stared at him with bright eyes.
It was dead silent. After being stunned for a while, Zhang Lisheng said expressionlessly, "I fainted after escaping from the kitchen. I don't know anything else."
"What happened before you fainted?"
"Before I fainted, I saw a poisonous bug bite the man with the hole in his neck. I don't know anything else."
After listening to Zhang Lisheng's answer, Yang Zhengqi stared at him for a while and suddenly asked, "How old is he?"
No one answered.
After a while, Song Xinghe asked, "Chief Yang is asking you, Village Chief Tao. How old is this kid, no, young man?"
"Maybe 14, I don't think so," Tao Lielin mumbled with his head down seeing that he could not escape.
The deputy village chief, who was a soldier before, had heard that minors below the age of 14 did not have to bear any criminal responsibility.
Yang Zhengqi became quiet for a while and said in his deep voice without asking anything, "Xu Qiang, bring the first team to collect evidence at the scene.
"Li Hao, Wang Yang, bring the suspect back to the team. Remember to control him well.
"Guangsheng, don't worry about anything. Go to the county bureau's household registration department to verify the suspect's age. We must get the most detailed record.
"I'm going to meet the second and third team now to see what they've found from investigating the situation in the village."
Hearing Yang Zhengqi's order, the Qu County crime squad's police officers looked troubled. None of them moved.
Li Hao, who was ordered to escort Zhang Lisheng, bit the bullet and said, "Chief Yang, I think this is just an accident caused by a poisonous insect. The people who died are all active robbers, so why don't we not bring so many people here …"
"Comrade Li Hao, the nature of the case must be determined by evidence and investigation," Yang Zhengqi said in an unusually serious manner, "Moreover, no matter what the nature of the case is, we can't just close such a major criminal case.
"I received a call from Bureau Chief Xiangguo when I was on the way to Guawo Village. He said that according to the report from the network supervision department of the municipal bureau's information department, the photos of this murder case in Guawo Village have already made it into the top 1,000 cool photos on America's WeChat Twitter.
"What is this? This is the international influence. Our county has been doing tourism promotion for so many years, but it's not as' outstanding 'as those few photos combined.
"The county's county government has called an emergency meeting and decided to report the case to the higher-ups as soon as possible. The working group from the provincial office might be on their way now …"
"The top 1,000 cool photos on America's Twitter!
Just a case in this village, it … it's only been a while. I-It can't be. "
"This is the network society, the characteristic of the information society. Just like what the advertisement said, it's the era of 'the internet has no boundaries, the earth is the village'.
Alright, I explained so much because I understand your difficulty. Don't do it again. Get to work now. "
"Yes, captain." Li Hao saluted and replied with a bitter face after understanding the seriousness of the matter. Later on, he escorted Zhang Lisheng out of the old house with Wang Yang who had a stiff expression on his face.
On the mountain road in the village, Li Hao forced a smile all of a sudden and said, "Little brother, I'm also an old Miao with the surname Hua. It's my superior's order to escort you. Please don't blame me if I offend you or make a mistake."
"Don't worry, police bro. You're doing your job, you can't help yourself." Zhang Lisheng expressionlessly lowered his head and looked at the stone road under his feet while replying softly.
A conversation between a police officer and a criminal suspect that was out of the era would undoubtedly be very strange if it happened in a big city like Shanghai. However, it seemed very harmonious when it happened in the Western Sichuan Miaowei land that was shrouded in a dense forest that seemed to have never changed since ancient times.
Zhang Lisheng's reasonable answer made the police officer who escorted him feel relieved. Li Hao and Wang Yang did not bother him along the way from Guawo Village to the county town because of his silence.
The office of the Qu County Public Security Bureau's Criminal Police Unit was not in the county public security bureau. Instead, it was a small courtyard in a building that was less than 500 meters away from the county bureau.
Due to the special nature of the criminal police's work, the courtyard was filled with police cars. After Wang Yang entered the Criminal Police Unit, he turned his car around for a long time but he still could not fit into any of the narrow spaces.
"Damn it, I'm going to scratch Team 4's broken car if they keep leaving their cars like that." Wang Yang cursed while clenching his teeth as he was annoyed. It was normal for him to curse as a police officer who worked in the criminal investigation work at the grassroots level.
"Alright Wang Zi, even if you smashed their car, it's the government who paid for it.
Alright, reverse the car here, I'll send this little brother Zhang Lisheng to the office to wait for Chief Yang. "
"Sure, I'll get food for the three of us later and add two more dishes," Wang Yang nodded and said.
"Don't forget to buy a few more drinks," Li Hao added on purpose. He opened the car door and got off the police car with Zhang Lisheng.
At the same time in Guawo Village, Yang Zhengqi who was interrogating Guawo villagers and tourists with his underlings received a call from criminal police Long Guangsheng who went to the Qu County Public Security Bureau's Household Registration Department to verify Zhang Lisheng's actual age.
"Old friend, if you can recall what you heard last night, please inform the police station. This is a vicious criminal case. For your own safety …" Before Yang Zhengqi picked up the phone, he did not forget to remind a skinny old villager.
"What case? It'll be weird if he doesn't die after breaking into the Guawo Village's Zhang family's house.
They say that the Zhang family's' old men 'are rich, rich, rich. Think about it, if they're really rich, can they be from the Zhang family?
"Kid, you're so polite, I'll give you a piece of advice, don't get involved in this …"
Yang Zhengqi did not know how many times he had heard the same thing the entire morning. He felt like his head was buzzing, he said to the police officer next to him, "Daiwa, come and record a statement for this friend, I'll pick up the phone." He then ran out of the bamboo building.
Yang Zhengqi picked up the phone after taking a few breaths of fresh air, "Guangsheng, how's it going? How old is the suspect?"
"Chief Yang, the suspect turned 16 on the 6th of June this year."
"This matches the situation that we found out. A junior high school student, he's born to be a ruthless character.
I'll request for an arrest and get ready for interrogation … "Yang Zhengqi said excitedly after finally hearing a piece of good news the entire morning.
"There's one more thing, Chief Yang," Long Guangsheng said hesitantly in the phone, "The evidence to confirm the suspect's exact date of birth is the copy of his birth certificate.
The certificate was written in English.
The graduate student Xiao Liu who just came from the Household Registration Department and I finally understood it completely after looking at it for a long time. The suspect was born in St. George Hospital, Brooklyn, New York, America. He's an American citizen and his mother is an American too. "
"What?" Yang Zhengqi was stunned and said in shock.
"The suspect's birthplace is America and he has an American citizenship. According to the household registration record, he was brought back by his father when he was a month old and registered a household registration," Long Guangsheng said softly.
"He's a kid who lives in a remote mountainous area in Western Sichuan, how can he be an American? What kind of international joke is this?
Moreover, if he's really an American, how can he register a Chinese household registration? How did he go to school and study since he was young? "
"Chief Yang, Xiao Liu has studied the Nationality Law in university. She said that as long as one of the parents of a minor is Chinese, as long as they meet certain conditions, they can register a Chinese household registration.
This is an area where ethnic minorities gather, so the household registration management is much more lax than the provinces in China. It's even easier to enroll in a school in a mountain village, wouldn't it be … "
"Alright, stop talking. This is a secret for now," Yang Zhengqi frowned and said to the phone.
