chasing the dark

Chapter 59 The Truth
Jin Zhaoshou lived to be almost 50 years old, and for the first time realized what it means to be on pins and needles.

He stayed in the office all day, and occasionally glanced at the pager on his belt.

But every time the phone or pager rang, he was afraid of hearing bad news.

What should come will always come. When he was about to get off work, he received a call from his wife. He only said that Yan Zi had a stomachache, and the phone was hung up.

Jin Zhaoshou didn't even have time to ask for leave, so he told his colleagues that something happened at home, so he hurried back.

When he got home, the scene in front of him became a nightmare for the rest of his life.

The single bed was already stained with blood, and the daughter was lying on it, her eyes staring at the ceiling.

The wife was covered in blood, sitting on the ground with no expression on her face.

"Swallow died just like that. Her mother and I drugged her to death." Jin Zhaoshou said in a hoarse voice, "It's all my fault. I shouldn't be at work that day. If I was at home, I might remember to call an ambulance. ... Swallow can still save a life."

This incident that happened more than 20 years ago made Jiang Yu angry.

The doctor clearly said that they should be observed in the hospital with medication, but the couple refused to listen.

Presumably the clinic that sold them the medicine was also a black clinic. They only knew how to make money and dared to sell the medicine without knowing anything.

But facing the dying old man in front of her, she couldn't get angry, so she could only take a deep breath to calm the resentment in her heart.

Ye Zhanzhou picked up the water bottle on the bedside table, and put the straw to Jin Zhaoshou's mouth.This is what Vice-President Nie specifically told me to feed her every half an hour, and only need to suck two or three mouthfuls at a time.

After feeding the water, Ye Zhanzhou asked Jin Zhaoshou to continue talking.

In fact, he could have guessed without saying that they built Jin Yan's body under the stove.

But only if he said it himself, can it be regarded as a complete confession.

Although it is said that evidence is more important than confession, with a complete confession, the case will be sorted out more smoothly.

After Jin Zhaoshou explained all the truth clearly, he let out a long breath of relief.

It can be seen that after telling the secret hidden in his heart for more than 20 years, he has relaxed.

Ye Zhanzhou looked down at him and asked, "Vice President Nie said you were seriously ill, you were confused and understood at the moment, did you pretend?"

"You can see this?" Jin Zhaoshou grinned his lips, "I know they overheard me talking in my sleep, so I can only pretend to be confused. But the diseases... are all real, and I don't have long to live gone."

After a short pause, he asked, "What are you going to do with the swallow?"

"After the identity is confirmed, notify the family members to claim it." Ye Zhanzhou replied.

"But I am like this now..." Jin Zhaoshou sighed.

Ye Zhanzhou said: "You can entrust a relative to do it on your behalf."

"Since Swallow left, we have lost contact with our relatives." Jin Zhaoshou sighed again, "I signed a power of attorney myself and asked the nursing home to handle the funeral."

Jiang Yu remembered that Sister Zhao in the community had said that Jin Zhaoshou's wife's nephew had visited them a few years ago.

So he said, "Doesn't your wife have a nephew? We can help you contact him."

Jin Zhaoshou shook his head: "Forget it, when I kicked him out back then, I wouldn't have the face to see him. Besides, it's been more than ten years, who knows if he's still living in his original place."

"There is one more person." Ye Zhanzhou looked at Jiang Yu.

There is still one?Jiang Yu suddenly realized: "Yin Guohua, why did I forget him."

Hearing Yin Guohua's name, Jin Zhaoshou had a remorseful expression on his face: "I'm afraid the person he hates the most in his life is me."

"I don't know what he thinks of you, but he won't ignore Jin Yan." Ye Zhanzhou said, "Yin Guohua is still single now, and he has been waiting for Jin Yan."

……

"Deputy Team Ye, what should we do next?" Jiang Yu asked this question immediately after leaving Yixin Elderly Care Center.

Now, she admires Ye Zhanzhou from the bottom of her heart, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as worship.

"You don't need to ask." Ye Zhanzhou walked to the car without turning his head, opened the door and got in the car.

Jiang Yu trotted around to the co-pilot, but before he could sit still, he asked, "Deputy Captain Ye, why are you so sure that Jin Yan's body is hidden under the stove?"

Ye Zhanzhou started the car and said, "Didn't Jin Zhaoshou admit it all?"

"I was asking, before he admitted."

"Before that, did I say anything?"

Uh... I haven't really said that.He only said that Jin Yan was at home.

This whereabouts can be interpreted as a specific location, or as news.

If Jin Zhaoshou had no ghosts in his mind, he would only understand that the police had found clues in his home.But in fact, he built the stove himself. Of course, he preconceived that the police had found the body.

After figuring this out, Jiang Yu raised his thumb and praised sincerely: "Deputy Captain Ye, I'm convinced, your word game is really good!"

"Are you convinced?" Ye Zhanzhou automatically ignored the second half of her sentence.

Jiang Yu nodded again and again: "I am convinced to take it away!"

"Just accept it." Ye Zhanzhou raised his thick eyebrows slightly, "Do you still dare to act in private in the future?"

"That's absolutely impossible!" Jiang Yu said sternly, "Deputy Captain Ye, I promise, I will obey orders in the future and report to you first if I have any ideas."

Ye Zhanzhou glanced at her: "You said this yourself, don't go back on your word!"

"No regrets, no regrets." Jiang Yu repeatedly promised.

Ye Zhanzhou nodded in satisfaction, and then said: "Actually, I didn't play word games. I just started from the other party's mentality and used topics to guide his thinking direction. The old paragraph should have told you in class."

The old Duan did say that by taking advantage of the psychological weakness of being a thief with a guilty conscience, he used hints to make the other party mistakenly think that the police had fully grasped his crime.

After pondering for a while, Jiang Yu said, "Deputy Captain Ye, you are amazing! I have to tell Teacher Duan later, this is more vivid than the example he gave us before."

The little girl's rainbow fart blows a little too much.But...it feels good.

……

The first thing Ye Zhanzhou did when he returned to the bureau was to find Qiao Mingshan, the deputy director in charge of criminal investigation.

After all, the Jin Yan case was discovered by them in the process of handling the case, and the case needs to be transferred through normal procedures to close the case.

Ye Zhanzhou concealed his visit to Jin's house at night and reported the case.

Then he tuned out a section of the audio on the phone for Qiao Mingshan to listen to.Of course, the audio is also a short section with the beginning and the end.

After listening, Qiao Mingshan asked suspiciously: "I don't believe it's such a coincidence, the old man has kept it a secret for more than 20 years, and he told you when you asked me?"

"It's not a coincidence," Ye Zhanzhou said, "to put it bluntly, Jin Zhaoshou is now the person who is lying half of his body in the coffin. As the saying goes, when a person is about to die, his words are good. After all, Jin Yan His daughter, I didn't say it before, because there is no suitable opportunity. As soon as we appeared, he was moved."
