Chapter 38 The Longtan Island Massacre (9)
"Yes, he said that he hoped to reconcile with a friend from many years ago through this event. He said that he had a little misunderstanding with that friend in the early years, and then that friend left his hometown and lost the relationship between them. However, he recently heard that this friend is back, but he doesn’t know how to get back together with him. Both he and this friend liked adventure activities like treasure hunting, and they met through such activities. That's why I wanted to do this kind of treasure hunt, hide something they both know somewhere on the island, and then ask this friend to find it, so as to rebuild their relationship, but he didn't want to let only his name It seems too pretentious for friends to participate, so I want to make the event bigger and let all interested people participate. He said that he will give me a reminder about the treasure, and only his friends will understand what this reminder is It means that others can't understand it at all. At that time, he has found a friend, and I have earned enough popularity, a win-win result, why not do it!"

"Do you believe in such a bad reason?"

"I don't know why I believed it by mistake."

"A strange coincidence? I think it's because of the money! If you didn't have the 50 yuan, you wouldn't have agreed!"

Yao Shun's words hit the nail on the head, and Liu Chenglin nodded embarrassingly.

"Then have you met the person who contacted you?"

"No, no, we have always been in touch by phone. He said that he didn't want to be too public, lest his friends know that he deliberately arranged it, and it would delay the matter."

"What about the money and the so-called tip? How did he give it to you?"

"One morning, as soon as I arrived at the travel agency, I saw a package at the door, which said I received it personally. When I opened it, I saw the money and the piece of paper that reminded me of the treasure, so I believed it was true. That’s why we started this event.”

"50 is enough to allow you to engage in such an activity without seeing anyone and making sure that the matter is true or false. Do you know the possible consequences of this? Money can make ghosts grind, it seems reasonable That's right." Yao Shun reprimanded unceremoniously.

At this time, Liu Chenglin already felt that something went wrong in the treasure hunt, but because of a guilty conscience, he didn't dare to ask more questions, so he could only lower his head in silence.

Although the excuses given by the people who asked Liu Chenglin to engage in the treasure hunt were well-founded, they simply did not stand up to careful scrutiny.

That person said before that he and his friend had a little misunderstanding in the early years, and then the friend went away and lost contact with each other, but now that the friend is back, he is very clear. If it is explained by a friend of a friend who has learned about the situation, and can barely make sense, then the hint about the treasure is unavoidably false.

The person said that only his friends could understand the meaning of the reminder of the treasure, and he was worried that it would be too contrived to only let this friend participate, so he wanted to make the event bigger, but when his friend saw the reminder, he would not agree. Do you understand everything?So what's the difference between directly finding someone to invite friends to hunt for treasures with reminders and organizing a treasure hunt like this now to ask friends to hunt for treasures?Anyway, as long as a friend sees the reminder, everything will be clear, so why bother to spend 50 to hold a treasure hunt?And how can he guarantee that his friends will definitely participate in the event?If your friends don't read the newspaper, or can't participate because of something, doesn't that mean the activity is for nothing?
Obviously, the person who planned the treasure hunt behind the scenes deliberately wanted to hide some things from the beginning, and what is the relationship between this person and the murders?Does he have anything to do with the jewelry robbery that year?

Just when Yao and Shun were at a loss, the scout who was in charge of investigating "Douzi" who had a close relationship with He Yaoyang received good news that "Douzi" had been found. It turned out that he had been arrested half a year ago for drug trafficking.

"Douzi"'s real name is Chen Bing. Because of his short stature, he was nicknamed "Douzi". After entering the drug rehabilitation center, he took drugs again, and his family ignored him and kicked him out of the house, leaving him to fend for himself. After he had no money for drugs, he started a business of selling, feeding and smoking. , was arrested for drug trafficking six months ago.

The atmosphere in the interrogation room was dull, "Douzi" Chen Bing looked sleepy, yawned non-stop, and sat on the chair limply like a puddle of mud.

"Officer, what time is it! Don't you all need to sleep?"

Chen Bing rubbed his swollen eyes with a dissatisfied expression.

"It's only 1 o'clock in the morning, so it's not too late! It's much earlier than you used to go to the bar all night. I know you're sleepy, but I'm sleepy too. If you can tell the truth, If the explanation is clear, then we can all go back to sleep early." Yao Shun said.

"Officer, I have already explained what I should explain. What else do you want me to explain? I have nothing to say. Hasn't the judge already sentenced you? Isn't that enough?" Chen Bing was impatient asked rhetorically.

"You're talking about drug trafficking, and I'm going to ask about something else."

Hearing this, Chen Bing stared at Yao and Shun suspiciously, and said, "Other things? What other things? Police officer, you can't just wrong me! I have already explained everything that should be explained, and there is nothing to hide."

"I won't go around in circles with you anymore, do you know He Yaoyang?" Yaoshun asked bluntly.

Chen Bing blinked his small eyes that were so small that there was only one slit, and replied: "No, I don't know."

"I don't know? What about He Wenhui? He is your neighbor, or a classmate from elementary school to junior high school. Don't tell me that you don't know him either."

"You said He Wenhui! Yes, how could I not know him! But he left a few years ago, and I don't know where he is now." Chen Bing yawned and replied weakly.

"He Wenhui is He Yaoyang, and He Yaoyang is He Wenhui, don't you know? Let me tell you, Chen Bing, don't give me a sloppy eye there. If the police can interrogate you so late, there must be something wrong, and they have certain evidence, otherwise Do you think we have nothing to do and make fun of you in the middle of the night?" Yao Shun sternly reprimanded.

"It's not that I don't know, it's just that we haven't been in touch since he left ten years ago, and he never took the initiative to contact me in these years. If it wasn't for the police officer, you reminded me just now, I really forgot about him It's gone." Chen Bing defended himself.

"What about the previous one?"

"Officer, although I had a close relationship with him back then, it has been so many years. As I said just now, if you hadn't reminded me, officer, I would have almost forgotten him. Forget it, how can you remember those old things? Instead of wasting time on me, why don’t you go to him directly? I’m really sleepy now!” Chen Bing yawned and continued his foolish way Attitude.

"Crack!" Yao Shun slapped the table heavily, glaring at Chen Bing angrily, his two sharp eyes shot straight at Chen Bing like two sharp swords glowing with cold light. Trembling, he, who was still tired before, immediately sobered up a lot.

"Officer, I really don't know!" Chen Bing said with an aggrieved face.

"Don't give me this trick, don't think you can fool me, I might as well tell you frankly, He Yaoyang is dead, you don't know about him, who else knows?" Yao Shun questioned.

"What! He's dead?" Chen Bing asked in surprise.

"He was killed two days ago."

"Officer, this matter has nothing to do with me, I have been locked in prison all this time!"

"Did I say you killed it? Why are you nervous? Do you have ghosts in your heart?" Yao Shun questioned.

"No, no, I'm not nervous, and I didn't, I didn't kill people, why, how could there be ghosts in my heart." Chen Bing stammered nervously.

"Whether there are ghosts or not, you know best in your heart." After Yao Shun glared at Chen Bing, he continued: "If you don't have ghosts in your heart, why are you nervous?"

Facing Yaoshun's questioning, Chen Bing was speechless and could only bow his head silently.

"Lift up your head!" Yao Shun shouted.

Hearing this, Chen Bing quickly raised his head again. At this time, because of his nervousness, his forehead was covered with beads of sweat.

"You're not going to say it yourself, are you?" Yaoshun continued to press forward step by step.

"I..." Chen Bing wiped the sweat from his forehead, and swallowed the words again.

"Well, I'll show you three things first."

Yao Shun walked up to Chen Bing with the promotional coloring pages of the treasure hunt, the reminder paper of the treasure hunt, and the photo of the robbed jewel "Qin Niangzi".

"This copy is what He Yaoyang tightly held in his hand before he died; this copy is a reminder of this event; and this copy was robbed in a jewelry robbery case ten years ago. A photo of the jade 'Qin Niangzi'."

Yao and Shun handed the three pieces of physical evidence to Chen Bing, and when Chen Bing took the photo of "Lady Qin", he heard Yao and Shun talk about the jewelry robbery case ten years ago, he suddenly felt like an electric shock, and his hands slammed The ground trembled, and the photo fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Yao Shun frowned slightly, and then the corners of his mouth rose slightly, but soon returned to normal. At this time, he seemed to have some confidence in his heart. He bent down and picked up the photo of "Lady Qin", and sat down in satisfaction. Back to the interrogation table.

"After reading these three pieces of physical evidence, is there anything you want to tell me?"

Yao and Shun were not in a hurry at the moment, because judging from Chen Bing's reaction just now, it was obvious that he knew something, and the key to solving the case probably lay in him.

"No...no." Chen Bing stammered nervously.

"No? It seems that you don't want to confess yourself, right! Chen Bing, I've given you the opportunity. Since you don't want to say it, let me do it." Yao Shun paused, and continued: "He Yaoyang is dying. I was holding the promotional coloring page of this treasure hunt tightly in my hand, there must be some reason for it, maybe this is a clue he left to solve the case, following this clue, I found out about this treasure hunt , from which we found the second piece of evidence, that is, the reminder paper of the treasure hunting activity with a pattern drawn on it. According to this pattern, we found the body of the jewel "Qin Niangzi" who was robbed that year. Through comparison, it was confirmed that The pattern on the reminder paper is the robbed jewelry 'Qin Niangzi'. So far, the three clues can be said to be completely connected together. In addition, the jewelry robbery case ten years ago has not been solved yet, and He Yaoyang is also famous for his cruelty on the road. Yes, so I have guessed that He Yaoyang had something to do with the robbery that year, and his death is very likely related to the jewelry robbery. Chen Bing, you can disregard the relationship with He Yaoyang, but it is only limited to him The ten years in the field, what about ten years ago? You say you don’t remember, do you think I will believe it? Back then, He Yaoyang was not found because of the limited clues in the case, and you were naturally not included in the investigation , but now the clues have appeared, do you think you can get away with it by saying 'I don't remember'? If you think that everything can be done in a casual way, you won't be caught in jail, our police handle the case You have already experienced the ability, so you should be very clear about it, so I don’t need to say more about it, right?”

Yao and Shun's deduction seemed to be on point. After Chen Bing heard it, he seemed more nervous than before. He lowered his head restlessly, and kept wiping the sweat off his face with his hands, trying to calm down his nervous mood. , but when he looked up and saw two sharp gazes from Yao and Shun, he hurriedly lowered his head again.

"What? Are you guilty? If you haven't done anything wrong, what are you afraid of? Raise your head and look at me!" Yao Shun shouted sharply.

Chen Bing's head was lifted up like a spring, but he just glanced at Yao and Shun, and he didn't dare to look any further, but he didn't dare to lower his head again, so he could only turn his head to one side to avoid the two Dao made him feel the eyes of fear.

"You can keep silent, but our police will never stop the investigation because of your silence. The robbery ten years ago was a big case, and so is the murder ten years later. Since the two are involved, then Our police will definitely investigate to the end until the truth is found out. All those involved in the case should not escape easily. You can say that you don’t know anything now, but if we find out that you deliberately concealed important information If so, then you can judge for yourself what the result will be!"

After Yao Shun finished speaking, he got up and prepared to leave the interrogation room. Naturally, he would not leave easily. The reason he did this was to put pressure on Chen Bing and further break down his psychological defense. Judging from Chen Bing's state, his psychological The line of defense began to shake as early as the moment he heard about the "jewelry robbery ten years ago". Now he only needs to put in a little more effort, and he will naturally tell the whole story.

When Yao Shun walked up to Chen Bing, Chen Bing finally "surrendered". He stammered and begged: "Police... Police officer, don't... don't go, give... a... a cigarette, okay?"

Yao Shun stopped in his tracks, glanced at Chen Bing, deliberately hesitated for a moment, then lit a cigarette and handed it to Chen Bing.

Chen Bing took the cigarette with trembling hands, then put it in his mouth and inhaled violently. After a while of puffing, his nervousness seemed to ease a little.

"Officer, if I confess everything I know, will my sentence be reduced?"

Chen Bing looked at Yao and Shun pitifully, and his voice was vague and small. If it wasn't for the unusual silence in the interrogation room, no one would have heard what he was saying.

"I'm not going to hide it from you. It doesn't matter what I say, but if what you say helps the police solve the case, then it is a meritorious service. I will ask the judge to reduce your punishment or reduce your sentence." Yao Shun said sincerely Said.

"Then let me tell you, since He Yaoyang is dead anyway, I have nothing to be afraid of." Chen Bing took his last puff of cigarette, then breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "He Yaoyang really hasn't looked for me all these years since He Yaoyang left. , I really don’t know much about him, but he did look for me ten years ago, before the jewelry robbery happened, but I’m not sure that it must be related to the jewelry robbery.”

"We'll check if it matters. You just need to tell what you know."

"It's like this. Just half a month before the jewelry robbery, He Yaoyang found me. He asked me to help me get four guns and some bullets. He said that no matter how much money, no matter what kind of guns, as long as they can Just arrive. To be honest, he is famous for being cruel and ruthless. He can beat people half to death in normal fights. If he really had a gun in his hand, he would not have killed anyone. I asked him at the time, asking for a gun What to do, he told me not to worry so much, the more I know, the sooner I will die, he told me to just get the gun, don't ask anything else, and told me not to leak the news, otherwise I will turn my face and be ruthless .I knew he could do what he said, so I didn’t dare to ask any more questions. He gave me 30 yuan at that time, saying it was for my hard work, and the money for the gun was not included. He also said that if I didn’t With the money, he asked someone else to find a way. 30 was in front of me at the time, how could I not be tempted, just as I was tight at the time, so I agreed for the sake of money.”

"Why did He Yaoyang ask you to help him get a gun?"

"On the one hand, because I have been friends with him for many years, he trusts me and knows that I will not talk nonsense, and on the other hand, because I know a man named 'Old Eight', this man can make guns, and once drinking I mentioned it to He Yaoyang."

"What's the full name of 'Lao Ba'?"

"Feng Bo, because he is the eighth in the family, everyone calls him 'Old Eight'."

"Well, you continue."

"This 'Old Eight' is also an addict like me. He quit smoking and quit smoking. We also met in a drug rehabilitation center. He said that his father used to work in an arsenal, and he learned how to cook from his father when he was young. The craftsmanship of guns, every time he becomes addicted to drugs and has no money, he relies on doing this to earn some drug money. He said that he never sells guns to people on the road, because those people are cruel, and the guns will definitely be in their hands. In the event of an accident, most of his guns were sold to some businessmen, because these people are rich, and besides collecting them, most of them buy guns for self-defense. No matter how small things are, they will become big. None of these businessmen are willing to get into trouble, so the guns are safe in their hands. And he only sells to acquaintances, and he has been safe and sound, and has not caused any trouble. I I found 'Lao Ba' and asked him to make four guns. I didn't dare to tell him that He Yaoyang wanted guns. After all, let him know that people on the road wanted guns. He would definitely not do it, so I said yes. A business friend likes hunting, and loves guns, so I want to ask him to make a few collections, and go hunting in the mountains when he is free. He agreed without saying a word, and then I paid him ten. Ten thousand deposit."

"Do you see the 'Old Eight' in this photo?"

Yao Shun handed to Chen Bing the photo of the suspected gun dealer who was killed that year, and Chen Bing nodded after looking at it.

"And after that?"

"Afterwards, 'Lao Ba' asked me to wait for the news, and said he would contact me when it was ready. After about a week or so, he contacted me to pick up the gun. I told He Yaoyang at that time, and he said that I don't need to pick it up. He wanted to pick it up in person, to see how the goods were, so as not to be cheated by others, so I told him the address of 'Lao Ba', and the news came out the next day that the jewelry store was robbed and opened A few shots killed a guard. At that time, I was too scared to go out. I contacted He Yaoyang immediately and asked him if he had anything to do with the robbery. After he hung up the phone, he rushed to my house and was vicious. He told me, let me mind my own business, keep my mouth shut, don't ask any questions I shouldn't ask, and don't say a word I shouldn't say, especially about buying a gun. He would not be merciful, and then threw me another 20 yuan, and then left, and I have not contacted him again."

"Then he didn't say exactly whether the robbery had anything to do with him?"
