chasing the dark

Chapter 245 Gathering Evidence
Although Lei Yongnian said that the person was found, the people present knew that it was impossible to find a living person.

"Has the murderer been caught?" Jiang Yu asked.

"I caught it. It's a ruffian from the same village as the old Duan's family. When he went back to his hometown, he met this guy bullying a little girl. He was caught by the old Duan and sent to the police station. He was imprisoned for two years. After he came out, he held a grudge. That day, he happened to see the old Duan's daughter-in-law. Go out of the village by yourself, and follow."

Lei Yongnian did not go on to talk about the process, but said: "Unfortunately, it took more than six months, one corpse and two lives. The old Duan was performing a mission outside at that time, and both mothers and daughters had already been buried when they found out. This matter is right. He was hit too hard, and later lost an arm, so he simply gave up the idea of ​​remarrying."

It is not news that the police or their family members were retaliated against, but it is heart-wrenching every time it is heard.Especially those like Duan Baili, who obviously wanted to uphold justice, but ended up ruining their families.

After taking a sip of the wine, Lei Yongnian waved his hands: "It's all in the past, as the old Duan said, when he retires, he will return to his hometown, tidy up the house, and live there for the rest of his life."

"What about you? What are your plans in the future?" Ye Zhanzhou asked suddenly.

"Me?" Lei Yongnian was stunned, "I really haven't thought about it, maybe I should continue to hang out in Mingyang. I am old and can't walk anymore, so I will find a nursing home."

He is also single now, but unlike Duan Baili, he has a son who married his ex-wife when he divorced.But no matter what, he was his own son, even if the bones were broken, the tendons were still connected.

"I never thought about finding another one, or...remarrying?" Ye Zhanzhou asked.

Lei Yongnian shook his head helplessly: "I am like this now, so I don't want to drag others down."

Ye Zhanzhou meant something: "Haven't you thought about changing your way of life?"

Lei Yongnian laughed at himself: "I'm a very stupid person, and I admit death. If I can find out what happened back then, I will naturally be able to change my way of life."

……

With Ye Zhanzhou's help, Jiang Yu was also granted a three-day vacation.

The two were not idle, and through the household registration system, they found Ji Lesheng's wife, Gu Yumei.

After Ji Lesheng passed away, Gu Yumei did not remarry, but lived alone with her children.Today, their son Ji Tianze is already a doctoral student majoring in architectural design.

The couple still live in the old house where Ji Le lived, an old house of more than 80 square meters with three bedrooms and one living room.The house is a bit old, but Gu Yumei tidied it up extraordinarily clean and tidy.

"Officer, this old plan has been going on for almost ten years, why do you want to ask about the past again?" Gu Yumei asked after putting two glasses of water in front of the two.

Ye Zhanzhou didn't answer her question directly, but asked instead: "Auntie, can I ask your opinion on the case of Jigong being killed?"

Gu Yumei folded the front of the cardigan and sweater: "The case has been judged, so what else can I say?"

"To tell you the truth, the two of us felt that this case was suspicious, so we came here to look for you." Ye Zhanzhou no longer circled around.

Gu Yumei's eyes lit up: "Is it going to be re-examined?"

"To be precise, we need to re-investigate." Jiang Yu glanced at Ye Zhanzhou, saw him nod slightly, and continued, "However, it is our personal behavior now. Whether we can reopen the case depends on how much evidence we can produce .”

Gu Yumei was a little dazed: "I don't quite understand what you mean."

Jiang Yu was about to explain to her when he heard the sound of a key opening the door.Then, a tall, thin young man wearing glasses pushed the door open.

"Mom, I'm back." Seeing the two strangers sitting on the sofa, he smiled slightly, "Are there any guests?"

"Tianze, it's just in time for you to come back." Gu Yumei introduced, "These two are Officer Ye and Officer Jiang from the Municipal Public Security Bureau, and they are here to talk about your father's case."

Ji Tianze changed his shoes and entered the room, first he said hello, and asked the same words as his mother: "It's been more than ten years, why did you bring this up all of a sudden?"

Jiang Yu had no choice but to repeat what he had just said to Gu Yumei.

Ji Tianze's comprehension ability is obviously much stronger than his mother's, and his thinking is also more agile.

He frowned slightly and thought for a moment, then asked, "Is my father's case related to the two of you?"

Jiang Yu nodded calmly: "My father is the prosecutor of the Municipal Procuratorate. If nothing happened to him, he would have been the public prosecutor you saw in court back then."

Gu Yumei obviously still didn't understand, but Ji Tianze was surprised: "You mean... your father had an accident because of this case?"

Jiang Yu took a deep breath and said, "In the second year after Jigong's accident, there was a piece of news that the prosecutor's family was wiped out. I don't know if you have any impression?"

"Yes." Ji Tianze stared at her and nodded, "Because of my dad, I paid more attention to news about the legal system during that time, and I did see it."

He hesitated for a moment, and tentatively asked: "Then you..."

"It was my parents and grandfather who died. I was at school that day, otherwise I wouldn't have the chance to sit here now." Jiang Yu closed his eyes, discarding the tragic scene that flashed in his mind, and opened his eyes again after a few seconds , "When they were killed, my dad was investigating the case of Ji Gong's murder. Therefore, I have reason to think that the two cases are related."

"I'm sorry," Ji Tianze showed an apologetic expression, "I remember that the murderer was quickly caught and sentenced to death. What do you mean...that case also has problems?"

Ye Zhanzhou patted the back of Jiang Yu's hand lightly, and said, "Mr. Ji, we are indeed suspicious. That's why we want to collect evidence so that we can reopen the case."

Ji Tianze obviously had some hope for this, he asked, "How sure are you?"

"No one can guarantee this." Ye Zhanzhou spread his hands, "But if you don't do anything, it must be zero."

Listening to their conversation, Gu Yumei seemed to realize something.

She pulled her son: "Tianze, I think it's better to forget it, your father has been gone for so many years, it doesn't matter if you check it or not."

"Mom, why don't you care?" Ji Tianze pushed his glasses, "My dad was beaten to death, but the murderer didn't even sit in jail. Don't you think he was too wronged?"

"Whether wronged or not, they are all dead. We still have to look forward. You will graduate in two years. Don't delay your studies because of this."

Both Ye Zhanzhou and Jiang Yu could tell that the mother and son had doubts about Ji Lesheng's death.It's just that Gu Yumei is more concerned about her son, she doesn't want to delay the future of the living because of the dead.

This kind of thinking is not wrong from a certain point of view, but it also shows that they will provide some useful clues even if they have no evidence.

However, as outsiders, they have no position to persuade.What's more, the current investigation is just their personal behavior.Whether it can continue or not depends on whether Ji Tianze can convince his mother, Gu Yumei.
