Serious Crime Unit 1

Chapter 405 Bone Cave (13)
"It seemed to be a cloudy day. After breakfast, my sister and I made an appointment to go to Wugong Mountain to pick magnolia bark seeds. We packed the food in lunch boxes, which was for lunch, because we planned to go home until late in the evening. We walked to Nanlinkeng and looked for Magnolia officinalis among the woods.

"Maybe we were lucky. Just after lunch, we came across a Magnolia officinalis tree full of magnolia bark. I climbed up the tree to pick it, and my sister picked it under the tree. After a while, we picked it. The two backpacks were full, so I went home happily, but unexpectedly I lost my silver bracelet and was severely beaten by my aunt."

His eyes flickered and his gaze was erratic. Zhu Gang knew at a glance that he was lying. Experienced criminal policemen did not use testers to deal with ordinary suspects.

"You don't even draft a lie. I already know that you didn't pick a single magnolia root that day. You went home empty-handed, and you went home before lunch. You must have encountered something extraordinary at that time. , otherwise with your stubborn character, you will never come back empty-handed!

"Not only that, you didn't go to Nanlinkeng at all, but to Niujiaoao. This was not just imagination, but a rigorous investigation. That's why we found you. Why else would we spend a lot of manpower and material resources to find you? ?”

"Oh, yes, I remembered it wrong. We went to Niujiaoao that day. Because it rained, we ran home as soon as we arrived at Niujiaoao, so we didn't pick Magnolia officinalis. Alas, I have been picking it every day in the past few years. I was doing the barbecue in black and white, and I suffered from a severe lack of sleep, and my memory is a lot worse."

"Stop pretending, let me tell you. You and your sister arrived at the foot of the cliff of Niujiaao and saw a Magnolia officinalis tree. At this time, Lin Yifeng from Shuikou Village, Huangting County also saw it. In order to collect Magnolia officinalis, you There was a dispute, and you killed Lin Yifeng.

"In order to bury the body, you threw him into the tomb robbery hole, and then picked up a lot of stones and threw them down. In the process of throwing the stones, your silver bracelet accidentally fell into the hole. On October 10 this year, Xie Shiqing of Beiwang Village I accidentally fell into the cave and found Lin Yifeng's skeleton. When we were looking for physical evidence, we found your silver bracelet. Is that true?"

"No... that's not the case. I'm only 9 years old. How could I stone an adult who is much taller than me?"

"If it wasn't you, how did you know that Lin Yifeng was stoned to death?" Zhu Gang stared at him fiercely. He did not dare to look directly at Zhu Gang and turned his head to one side, as if to avoid the burning flames. , he knew that he had exposed his flaw, and his face turned red with anger, like a defeated rooster.

"I hope to be honest and explain things clearly so that we don't have to spend a lot of police force to collect evidence. Besides, you were only 9 years old at the time. You are not legally responsible for killing Lin Yifeng on impulse. We have invested a lot of police force in the investigation. It's just In order to give comfort to Lin Yifeng’s relatives and an explanation to the masses..." Zhu Gang said in a persuasive manner.

"No, I didn't kill anyone. You can't accuse me unjustly. If you have evidence to prove that I killed someone, I am willing to take all legal responsibilities!" He said resolutely.

Before they came, they had visited a large number of villagers. They all knew that Ji Xianwei had a very stubborn personality and it was difficult to convince him. Therefore, Wu Jiang thought it would be difficult to tell the story of the crime and the motive from him. Therefore, Wu Jiang suggested that he go back to the Songyin County Bureau. Say it again.

So they ended their questioning of Ji Xianwei.

On the way home, Zhu Gang asked: "Angkor, what should we do next?"

"If we continue to investigate, we must give an explanation to the family members of the deceased." Wu Jiang said, looking at the clear blue autumn sky outside the car window.They were taking the coastal highway. At this moment, a group of seagulls flew over the blue sea, shouting "Oooooo", the sound was loud and high, as if they were declaring war on evil.

"I think even if we know that the murderer is Ji Xianwei, we have no evidence to prove that he is the murderer."

"It should be possible, right? For example, it was a hot summer day when the crime occurred. Ji Xianwei must have been very nervous when he committed the murder, and he would have left key evidence such as body fluids at the scene." Che Xiaolin said.

Wu Jiang replied with a smile: "Even if Ji Xianwei had a bunch of DNA samples left at the scene, it would be useless, because after ten years of wind and rain, all the samples have been degraded."

"Without exclusive evidence such as DNA and fingerprints, the prosecutor's office may dismiss the case and be unable to prosecute Ji Xianwei."

"Even if there is exclusive evidence that Ji Xianwei is the murderer, the judge will not sentence a 9-year-old murderer." Zhu Gang said. "Although the silver bracelet is not the key physical evidence, if we find more witnesses, the judge will consider how to punish Ji Xianwei, such as sentencing the guardian to compensate the deceased's family, or to apologize to the deceased's family. In short, we must let Ji Xianwei The guardian must be convinced and let the truth be known to the world!" Wu Jiang said decisively.

"I think of one person, and that is Ji Xianwei's sister Ji Xianyan. She is a witness and may have participated in the crime. If the truth can be told from her, our case can be closed." Zhu Gang suddenly thought of Ji Xianyan.

Ji Xianyan is 20 years old this year. I don’t know why, but she married Zhao Liming from Shangduan Village when she was 18 years old. I heard from the villagers that Ji Xianyan has a gentle and cowardly character and has no independent opinions. She is completely different from Ji Xianwei’s character. She is also very kind and even kills chickens. He didn't dare to look at it. She probably wouldn't be involved in the crime, because Ji Xianwei might have committed manslaughter in a fit of rage. Zhu Gang felt that he should get in touch with Ji Xianyan, and maybe he could get the answer from her mouth.

They also learned from the villagers that after August 2006, 8, until their siblings graduated from junior high school, they no longer dared to go to Niujiaoao. Ji Xianwei had a young friend named Ke Xiangbei. It turned out that they often went there. He cut firewood or collected herbs in Niujiaoao, but he invited Ji Xianwei several times. As soon as he heard about going to Niujiaoao, his face turned ugly and seemed to be very scared. This showed that Ji Xianwei was suffering in his heart.After all, they are children, and their psychological quality is not as good as that of adult repeat offenders.

Considering that he had to face the suspect, Zhu Gang called Lu Yingying and drove together to Shangduan Village to visit Ji Xianyan.

Ji Xianyan lives in the northeast of Shangduan Village, 5 minutes away from the village center. She and her husband Zhao Liming met while working in the Yangtze River, fell in love, and got married on National Day in 2014.Although they did not receive a marriage certificate because they were not old enough to get married, they gave birth to a daughter that year and became a de facto marriage. They only had to wait until Ji Xianyan turned 20 to apply for a new marriage certificate.

Ji Xianyan lives in a half-new brick house with only two floors. It was built in the late 80s. Although the design and lighting of the house are not good, Ji Xianyan has kept it clean and planted many orchids in the small yard. , walked in, and the fragrance filled the courtyard, Lu Yingying couldn't help but blurt out: "In summer, light and spring, deep lily flowers are blooming, and a stem with several stamens is randomly slanted..."

"Which talented girl is singing softly in my yard?" Suddenly, a woman's head popped out from the window on the second floor. She saw four or five policemen and village directors standing in the yard admiring the orchids. She quickly ran down from upstairs to greet them. Go sit in the living room and boil water with the electric kettle to make tea.

Lu Yingying felt strange. The sky was clear today and the temperature was pleasant. Most women went to work in the fields. Why did she stay upstairs and not even notice so many guests entering the yard?Could it be that she was too involved in her work?
Lu Yingying looked at Ji Xianyan. She was thin and had good facial features. Although she was not very beautiful, she looked very elegant and calm because of her bookish temperament. She also had a touch of sadness. She seemed to have experienced countless setbacks and ups and downs, which made people unable to help but Heartfelt love.There are very few girls with such good temperament in rural areas.

Lu Yingying didn't know how to talk to her, because the fact that she could sing this sentence in a low voice showed that she was not an ordinary person, and she married early, fell in love and had children early, which was something that most girls were not willing to do, no matter the city now Girls or rural girls are not willing to bury their youth prematurely.

"What were you busy with upstairs just now? So many of us walked into your yard, and you didn't notice it. You didn't come out until I spoke." Lu Yingying wanted to have a routine with her in order to shorten the distance between them, Criminal Minds This is how learning is taught.

"Oh, really? Am I so slow to react?" She didn't seem to believe it. "Don't laugh at me. I'm writing an online novel. Although there are currently no readers subscribing, I am young and I use it as a test piece. My childhood dream was to be a writer and poet. My husband went to work, and I gave my daughter to my mother-in-law. My husband said that he is now responsible for raising my daughter and me. Ten years later, I will be responsible for raising my husband and daughter." She said since Gu smiled, his face full of confidence, pride, and a sense of happiness.

Lu Yingying found it unbelievable that there was a young woman dreaming of being a writer in this remote country!She is like a pearl accidentally left in a mountain village by a god.Lu Yingying was moved by her, because when she was a child, Lu Yingying also dreamed of becoming a poet as talented and courageous as Li Qingzhao.

"Wow, I admire you so much. What is the name of your novel? Where was it published?"

"It's called "Landscapes of Deep Affection and Light Love". It has 12 chapters and a total of 5 words. It tells the story of a rural girl who has been baptized in the city and returns to the countryside to start a business. At the same time, she also gains a beautiful love."

"It's a good story. I'll go check it out when I have time... However, today we are here to ask for your help. Please tell the truth. You are an educated person and know that you will be held legally responsible for lying." Lu Yingying was afraid Arouse her disgust and try to smile as brightly as possible.

"What's the matter? Just ask, I will tell you the truth." Her smile was shallow, and there were two dimples around her mouth, which were charming.
