Jiang Yuecheng told everyone to split up and search. Wei Muran and Zhang Ming went south along the village, and Qi Youxuan quickly followed. They found an abandoned factory not far from the village. The factory's gate was locked, and the iron railings, chains, and locks on the gate were all rusted.
Qi Youxuan looked at the lock, but his fingers didn't touch it. He pointed, "Recently, someone has been opening the lock frequently, and there's rust in the middle of the chain."
Qi Youxuan took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped it lightly on the middle of the chain. Sure enough, the handkerchief was stained with brown debris and powdery substance.
"But the lock and the part of the chain near the lock are very smooth. This is because someone often touches it." Qi Youxuan pointed at the lock. This time, he didn't need to touch it to see it with the naked eye.
"I asked the village chief just now. This factory has been abandoned for two years, but there's always someone guarding the gate, and the key is in that person's hands." Zhang Ming said, and took out his phone to call Xing Jiadong, "Jiadong, go find the village chief and tell him to bring the factory's gatekeeper here."
Then, he informed Jiang Yuecheng and told him to bring people here quickly.
Not long after, Xing Jiadong brought the village chief over. Beside him was a man in his fifties with white hair. He wore a navy blue cotton coat with the front open, revealing a white vest inside.
"He said if it's lost," Xing Jiadong said unhappily, and even glared at the gatekeeper.
"What happened?" Zhang Ming looked at the gatekeeper suspiciously.
The gatekeeper was so scared that he waved his hands, "Police comrade, you can't suspect me. I'm an honest person, and I've never done anything bad. At most, I'm greedy for small gains. This key was lost three months ago. Although this factory is abandoned, it used to produce chemical products, so I'm afraid there's something wrong with it, so I still have to keep an eye on it. Give me eight hundred dollars a month, until the factory is cleaned up. Actually, it was cleaned up three months ago. This factory has to be demolished, and the land has to be sold, so before it's sold, I'm responsible for bringing people here to take a look. I... I'm afraid if people find out that I lost the key, they won't use me anymore, and I'll lose eight hundred yuan a month for nothing. "
"How did you lose the key? Think carefully, or we'll bring you back to the police station for questioning, and then you'll be a suspect," Zhang Ming said. Zhao Yiyang had already called the nearby locksmith.
The gatekeeper was so scared that he shivered and almost cried, "Police comrade, I'm really innocent, I... I don't dare, police comrade."
"Then think carefully," Zhao Yiyang said in a deep voice.
"I … I remember that three months ago, a company sent a representative to look at the land. They did not intend to demolish the factory. They said that if it was suitable, they would buy the factory as well. The original owner was very happy. This way, the factory could be sold for a lot of money. That representative asked me to open the door, and went in to take a look. After I sent him away, I didn't check to see if the key was still there. A few days later, I planned to come back, but I found that the key was gone. "Yang, and Shen, and Yu.
Everyone heard that something was wrong. Zhang Ming immediately said, "Give us the contact information of the company that contacted you three months ago, as well as the contact information of the original owner of this factory. Give us both."
"Okay." The gatekeeper took out his phone and gave the numbers to Zhang Ming.
The locksmith also came and pried open the door lock. Jiang Yuecheng had people set up a cordon outside, and he led the people in.
The factory had been abandoned for two years, and no one had cleaned it. There was a thick layer of dust on the ground, and there were no lights inside. It was bright outside, but it was pitch black inside. Everyone held up their flashlights, and under the light, the dust in the air became more obvious.
There was still a moldy smell in the air. Wei Muran subconsciously leaned toward Qi Youxuan. He secretly tugged on Qi Youxuan's arm and whispered, "Could it be my mind playing tricks on me? Why do I smell a faint smell of blood? "
"It's not your imagination," Qi Youxuan said calmly, "I smell it too. This way. "
Qi Youxuan unknowingly walked to the front and led the way. Wei Muran remembered that he didn't have any training. She was afraid that he couldn't avoid danger, so she hurriedly walked to her side, and seemed to want to put him behind her.
In the dark, her hand was caught by his warm palm, and she heard his gentle murmur, "There's no reason for the woman I like to protect me. If you get hurt, it's because I'm useless."
After saying that, he protected her behind him.
In the dark, Wei Muran felt her face was burning hot, as if there was hot smoke coming out of her ears. Her brain was buzzing, and she couldn't think at all.
But she didn't pull her hand out, and let Qi Youxuan hold it. Her ears were burning as he pulled her away, and she didn't think about whether they would be seen.
Zhang Ming was the first to see it. With a sneaky smile, he turned the flashlight elsewhere. Jiang Yuecheng's expression froze for a moment, and then he looked away.
Wei Muran was walking when his palm was suddenly scratched, and a numb and itchy feeling came from his palm.
"Qi Youxuan!" Wei Muran gritted his teeth and warned with his head down.
"Don't move, we're here." Qi Youxuan's voice sounded serious, but after he said that, he pinched her hand again, and his thumb rubbed back and forth on the back of her hand, obviously flirting with her.
Wei Muran wanted to pull her hand back, but she was already in a wolf's den, and he held on tightly.
"There's blood here," Qi Youxuan suddenly said.
He focused the flashlight on the wall, where the wall and the ground intersected, and there were bloodstains. Qi Youxuan walked closer. "The blood isn't dry yet!"
Jiang Yuecheng reacted quickly, and immediately took out the walkie-talkie to inform the colleagues who stayed outside. "They just ran, go after them!"
The others continued to check with Qi Youxuan. Wearing white gloves, Zhao Yiyang grabbed a rope. "There are bloodstains on this rope."
Qi Youxuan suddenly squatted down. "Who has a clean handkerchief?"
Hearing that, Jiang Yuecheng and Wei Muran handed over a handkerchief at the same time. The others didn't even carry tissues with them.
Qi Youxuan was surprised that Jiang Yuecheng actually had this habit. He glanced at the handkerchief Wei Muran handed over, ignored it, and took Jiang Yuecheng's.
Wei Muran pursed her lips and put it away unhappily.
Qi Youxuan glanced at her with a faint smile. "The residue here might be the stuff that flows out after a man and a woman did it. You don't want your handkerchief to get stained, even if you throw it away afterward."
Wei Muran was stunned, and instantly felt uncomfortable all over. She was no longer angry, and watched as Qi Youxuan put on the gloves, used Jiang Yuecheng's handkerchief to glue the liquid on the ground, and put it into the bag.
"..." Jiang Yuecheng looked at her handkerchief stained with something, and she felt uncomfortable all over.
"Why didn't you use your own handkerchief?" Jiang Yuecheng asked through gritted teeth.
"Oh, there was rust on it just now. I was afraid it would affect the appraisal quality," Qi Youxuan said very seriously.
Jiang Yuecheng: "..."
At this moment, Jiang Yuecheng's walkie-talkie rang. "Captain Jiang, we didn't find him."
"Got it. Let's go back and bring the gatekeeper back," Jiang Yuecheng said.
...
Back at the team, Zhao Yiyang and Xing Jiadong went to ask the gatekeeper what the representative looked like when they went to see the factory three months ago.
Qi Youxuan stood in front of the whiteboard with a pen in his hand, and spoke as he made some simple notes. "The person who kidnapped Zheng Wentao and Zheng Xiaorui is the same person, but the residue in Zheng Xiaorui's body shouldn't be the kidnapper's. Zheng Wentao and Zheng Xiaorui both had severe whip wounds, but other than that, there were no other injuries. The factory was very dirty, but there was one place that was very clean, and there were obvious traces. "
Qi Youxuan pointed at a photo. "Here, there must have been a chair. The kidnapper is a germaphobe, so the person who forcefully hugged Zheng Xiaorui isn't the kidnapper. This means that either he found someone to humiliate Zheng Xiaorui, or he had an accomplice, or another person was also kidnapped and forced to hug Zheng Xiaorui. I'm more inclined to the second possibility.
"Most people with germaphobe have a strong desire to control. He didn't kill Zheng Wentao himself, but led Zheng Xiaorui to kill her own grandfather. As for Zheng Xiaorui, he didn't do it himself, but let another person hug him and kill him. Such a person wouldn't look for someone to cooperate with. "
Qi Youxuan tapped the desk with the pen. "Back then, Zheng Xiaorui caused Li Anqi to be hugged and commit suicide, but Zheng Wentao used his connections to suppress this matter. The murderer kidnapped Zheng Wentao and forced them to kill each other, threatening Zheng Xiaorui with their lives. If Zheng Xiaorui wanted to live, she had to kill Zheng Wentao. At this moment of life and death, Zheng Wentao felt that he was old, and if he had to choose, he had to give his granddaughter a chance to live, so Zheng Xiaorui stabbed Zheng Wentao to death. This is also why the first two stabs weren't deep, and you could see the hesitation of the person who stabbed him. After all, he had to kill his own grandfather with his own hands. "
"And Zheng Xiaorui was forcefully hugged and fell from a high place, just like Li Anqi back then." Qi Youxuan tapped the pen with his finger, turned back to the whiteboard, and wrote, "The kidnapper was a male, around 25 years old, and looked ordinary, not easy to remember. He looked gentle, short-sighted, and wore glasses. He had mysophobia, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and habitual small gestures. Maybe he didn't even notice it himself. "
Qi Youxuan turned around and said to Zhang Ming, "You said that Li Anqi's brother didn't return to China, so who else was close to Li Anqi back then? The boy that Zheng Xiaorui liked was very outstanding in school, which means that Li Anqi had something outstanding and attractive about her, so it wasn't as simple as a male voice. Check all the people that were close to Li Anqi back then. Also … "
Qi Youxuan narrowed his eyes. "High school is a place where all kinds of gossip and rumors spread easily. You can start from this aspect. Get a hold of Zheng Xiaorui's graduation photo and check it. "
"You said that he was around 25 years old, but if he was Zheng Xiaorui and Li Anqi's classmate, the age doesn't match," Zhang Ming said.
"Did Li Anqi have a boyfriend back then? It's not common for high school students not to have puppy love, "Qi Youxuan said.
"I'll check it out." Zhang Ming nodded and went to check.
Xing Jiadong and Zhao Yiyang came back, and Zhao Yiyang handed a portrait to Jiang Yuecheng. "This is the portrait according to the gatekeeper Li Fusheng's description."
Jiang Yuecheng's expression changed, and he handed the portrait to Qi Youxuan. "This matches the characteristics you mentioned just now."
"Is Li Fusheng still here?" Qi Youxuan looked up and asked.
"Yes, I didn't let him go." Zhao Yiyang saw that Qi Youxuan and Jiang Yuecheng looked serious, and he became nervous.
Qi Youxuan nodded. "I'll ask him again."
Surprisingly, this time, Xing Jiadong didn't retort unjustly. Zhao Yiyang followed Qi Youxuan into the interrogation room.
Li Fusheng saw the two of them come in, and he was anxious and nervous. "Why aren't you letting me go? I really didn't do anything. "
"I know, I still have some questions to ask you. Think about it carefully," Zhao Yiyang said.
Qi Youxuan sat opposite Li Fusheng, and he asked calmly, "Think about it carefully. Three months ago, when the representative went to look for you, was there anything strange about his behavior? No matter how strange it was, as long as you thought that ordinary people wouldn't do that, and you thought that he was making a fuss over nothing, it would be considered strange. Think about it, when he did something, you secretly sneered at him, thinking that he was too nosy. "
At first, Li Fusheng was still very confused, but after listening to Qi Youxuan's words, he understood more and more.
He nodded, and he remembered. "If you want to talk about such strange things, there are indeed such things. He is very particular about cleanliness, to the extent that he is sick. There are more dirt roads in our village, especially the road to the factory. It is all dirt. As he walked, he frowned. Once he reached the entrance of the factory, he first took a handkerchief to wipe his leather shoes clean, then threw the handkerchief away, and took out a small bottle of hand sanitizer to wash his hands. "
"Isn't the door locked? He took out another handkerchief and held it on the chain through the handkerchief. "Li Fusheng curled his lips." I don't know why he brought so many handkerchiefs with him. "
"When I opened the lock, I accidentally touched him. He immediately bounced off and shouted at me unhappily," Don't touch him. "Li Fusheng snorted." Do you think I care about touching him? "
"Because there was no light inside, I carried a flashlight. I heard a puffing sound next to me. When I turned around, I saw that the man kept patting his sleeves and clothes as if there was dust on them. After patting, he washed his hands with hand sanitizer, and then patted his sleeves again. When he came out of the factory, I saw that his face had turned green. Seeing that he was really quite pitiful, I didn't argue with him. But he was so focused on cleanliness that he probably didn't pay attention to what was inside the factory. "
After Qi Youxuan finished asking, he went out with Zhao Yiyang and let Li Fusheng go.
After a while, Zhang Ming came back with two photos. "This is Zheng Xiaorui's high school graduation photo. There is someone in the photo that matches what you and Li Fusheng described."
Zhang Ming pointed at a man sitting on the left side of the first row and showed him a two-inch ID photo. "His name is Dong Zhengfeng. He used to be a language teacher at the First Experimental High School, which is also the high school that Zheng Xiaorui and Li Anqi attended. When Li Anqi jumped off the building, he happened to be at the bottom. He watched as Zheng Xiaorui jumped into a puddle of blood. According to the teacher who still teaches at that school, his first reaction was to grab Li Anqi. His feet were in a puddle of blood, and his hands and clothes were stained with blood. Since then, Dong Zhengfeng seemed to have been infected with mysophobia. He washed his hands several times a day, and when he used chalk in class, he would use a handkerchief as a cushion. This was considered a mental illness, so he went to see a psychiatrist. But now, it seemed that the results were not very good. Coincidentally, after Zheng Xiaorui graduated, he also resigned. A teacher who was familiar with him knew that after he resigned, he didn't go to another school to teach. Instead, he went to work for a food company. And that company did consider building a factory in Nanshan not long ago. "
"Go find Dong Zhengfeng immediately!" Jiang Yuecheng didn't dare to delay a moment. He brought his people to Dong Zhengfeng's company. Wei Muran naturally followed, but Qi Youxuan didn't follow.
The case was almost solved, so he had to think about his own matters.
...
Wei Muran thought that Dong Zhengfeng would definitely abscond and wouldn't let them catch him so easily. Obviously, the others thought so too. Even Jiang Yuecheng was a bit surprised when he saw Dong Zhengfeng sitting in the office as usual.
After they explained their intentions, Dong Zhengfeng was even more surprised, but he didn't panic. He even looked puzzled, thinking that they must have misunderstood.
Wei Muran thought that Dong Zhengfeng's acting was too good, or he was really wronged. However, she believed in Qi Youxuan's judgment. But looking at Dong Zhengfeng, she felt that no matter how good a person's acting was, it shouldn't be like this.
Dong Zhengfeng didn't panic or escape. He even cooperated and followed them back to the police station.
Qi Youxuan didn't interrogate him personally. He only looked at the situation through the glass.
Dong Zhengfeng didn't admit to Zheng Wentao and Zheng Xiaorui's deaths. He was even very surprised.
"What can you see?" Jiang Yuecheng stood together with Qi Youxuan.
Qi Youxuan frowned. "He didn't lie, but he did kill them."
Jiang Yuecheng was stunned. What kind of logic was that?
"My deduction can't be wrong. He did kill them." Qi Youxuan squinted and said, "But his reaction shows that he didn't lie."
Zhao Yiyang and Xing Jiadong really couldn't get anything out of him, so Jiang Yuecheng could only let Dong Zhifeng go on the lie detector.
Seeing that Dong Zhengfeng was on the lie detector and was still calm, Jiang Yuecheng was a little impatient. "Mr. Qi, you can't make us waste time just because you are confident that your inference is correct. We can only lock him up until tomorrow at most, and then we have to let him go."
Qi Youxuan frowned and thought for a long time. He suddenly said, "It's an hour and a half from Nanshan to his company. The blood in the factory hasn't dried yet, and there's still one person in his hands. If he goes back to the company immediately, he won't have time to deal with those things. Check his car! "
Qi Youxuan looked at Dong Zhengfeng through the glass and found that his feet were rubbing the ground uncomfortably.
"His shoes are dirty," Qi Youxuan suddenly said.
Jiang Yuecheng was confused. He didn't understand what he meant.
"His shoes must be stained with something. That's why a person with mysophobia like him is so uncomfortable," Qi Youxuan explained.
Jiang Yuecheng immediately told Zhao Yiyang and Xing Jiadong to take off Dong Zhengfeng's shoes.
Dong Zhengfeng, who had been very calm, suddenly resisted and refused to let them take off his shoes. Zhao Yiyang and Xing Jiadong wanted to hold him down, but he became even more hysterical. "Don't touch me! It's dirty! Don't touch me! "
Xing Jiadong twisted his arm behind his back and pressed his upper body against the table. He held his arm with one hand and pressed his head tightly against the table with the other.
"Let me go." Dong Zhengfeng's voice suddenly changed. It wasn't as panicked as before. It was very calm, even cold, as if it didn't have a trace of human emotion.
Xing Jiadong couldn't see it, but Zhao Yiyang, who was beside him, noticed that even Dong Zhengfeng's expression had changed.
"Let me go. You don't have to take off my shoes." Dong Zhengfeng said coldly, "Although I didn't kill Zheng Wentao and Zheng Xiaorui, I did kill them. You don't have to check. I admit to all of this. "
Xing Jiadong let go of him in shock. Seeing Dong Zhengfeng's cold and mocking face, he felt a chill in his heart.
"He's timid. He doesn't know what I've done. It's useless to ask him. You won't get any results," Dong Zhengfeng said mockingly.
"You …" Xing Jiadong looked at him in bewilderment.
"Split personality." The door was suddenly pushed open, and Qi Youxuan's voice came through.
Jiang Yuecheng followed him in and closed the door.
Dong Zhengfeng smiled and didn't deny it.
"Does he know about your existence?" Qi Youxuan asked.
"Maybe. I think he should know. As long as he's asleep, I'll appear. Sometimes, when he's in a violent state, I'll also appear. When he's in control of the body, I know what happens. But when I'm in control, I don't want him to know, so he doesn't know. However, while I was in control of this body, I did a lot of research on Zheng Wentao and Zheng Xiaorui, including the rapist. There were a lot of photos in his house. One day, he found them. He was startled and burned all the photos. Then, he pretended that nothing had happened. But I know he knows and is just avoiding it. "
"Since you've admitted it so readily, why don't you tell us clearly? Don't make us ask you one by one. Why did you kill Zheng Wentao and Zheng Xiaorui? "Jiang Yuecheng asked.
"Can't you guys guess the reason? That year, Zheng Xiaorui caused Li Anqi to be raped and committed suicide. Zheng Xiaorui didn't get the punishment she deserved and was even indulged by Zheng Wentao. Zheng Wentao covered up for his granddaughter and ignored justice. Since the law didn't punish them, I did it myself. "
"I first kidnapped Zheng Wentao, then used him to lure Zheng Xiaorui out. I tortured them and made them whip each other. If the whip was light, the person who was whipped would receive a heavier whip. So, none of them dared to go easy on them. Each whip was more ruthless than the other. "Dong Zhengfeng's expression gradually became crazy, and his eyes lost focus.
"The two of them whipped each other until they didn't have any strength left. I threw a knife between them. Whoever grabbed the knife first would kill the other person and live." Dong Zhengfeng sneered. "Zheng Wentao really dotes on his granddaughter. Zheng Xiaorui went crazy to grab the knife, but Zheng Wentao didn't move at all. Maybe he saw Zheng Xiaorui's actions and was bitterly disappointed, so he took the initiative to let Zheng Xiaorui kill him. "
"That Zheng Xiaorui is really cold-blooded and selfish. She can even kill her own grandfather. She was afraid of the first two knives, but from the third knife onwards, she became more and more crazy and almost couldn't stop. The knife stabbed into Zheng Wentao's chest, and blood sprayed on her face. "
Qi Youxuan's heart stirred. The report from Bai Foo also said that Zheng Wentao's blood was in Zheng Xiaorui's body.
"How can we let a coward like Zheng Xiaorui, who is afraid of death and can even kill her own grandfather to live? She's a scourge as long as she's alive. She can harm Li Anqi in the past, and now she can kill her own grandfather with her own hands. What won't she do in the future? That Zheng Wentao is also pitiful. He gave his all to raise such an ingrate. Zheng Xiaorui's death can be considered as me getting rid of a scourge for the people. "
"She has to pay for what she did to Li Anqi in the past. So, I found the hooligan who forcefully hugged Li Anqi back then and caught him. He deserved it. I personally whipped him until he was in despair and didn't dare to disobey me. I told him to forcefully hug Zheng Xiaorui, so he had to do it. If he wanted to live, I told him to push Zheng Xiaorui down from the roof of the factory. He had to do it. "
