Uneasy

Chapter 8 The funeral will be held at night (1)

When receiving Chen Ziyan's call, Zhou Yuanyi was in a bad mood.

very bad!

Feng Shu's parents rushed to the city from a distant village, Xiao Gao from the technical department immediately rushed over, took blood samples from their bodies, and sent them to the medical testing center for DNA comparison testing.

Even if the police station applies for a DNA comparison test due to the needs of the case, it still has to pay a fee to the medical testing center.After Zhou Yuanyi finally applied for the funds from the leader and transferred them to the account of the medical center, he saw Xiao Gao rushing to his office and said something that made him extremely depressed.

It wasn't until the blood was drawn and the examination fee was paid that Feng Shu's parents told Xiao Gao with a desolate expression that Feng Shu was not their biological son. 28 years ago, when they were collecting firewood in the mountains, they accidentally picked up a baby wrapped in a cotton sheet - that baby was Feng Shu.

No one knew who Feng Shu's biological parents were. The DNA comparison test was meaningless at all, and the conclusion was definitely a mismatch.This does nothing to identify the skeleton's owner.

This really made Zhou Yuanyi very angry.

Feng Shu's parents are also true, why didn't they tell Xiao Gao these words an hour earlier?But he thought about it again, as the parents of the deceased, they were already suffering enough, and such a mistake was inevitable.He had no choice but to bite the bullet and call the leader, hoping to find the medical testing center to recover the testing fee.But it is estimated that it will be difficult. Who would like to spit out the meat that has been swallowed in the mouth?Looking back, if the leader wanted to use this as a reason to deduct his bonus, there was nothing he could do about it.

And then, the results of the investigation about Sanpi and Xiaowen were also sent to him.

Yesterday afternoon, Sanpi told the leader of the newspaper office that he went out for an interview. The interviewee was the boss of a private motorcycle manufacturing company, but the boss of the motorcycle factory said that no one came to interview him yesterday afternoon.Sanpi is lying!Why is he lying?His flaw made the case investigators vaguely see the dawn of solving the case.

However, when the police found Sanpi to verify the situation, he said confidently that in order to watch the European Champions Cup final late last night, he slept at home all afternoon to recharge his batteries.As for the interview, just call the manufacturer and fax a press release, and then ask the boss’s secretary a few questions on QQ, and with your own writing, you can create a detailed interview with the characters.

It's just an unspoken rule in the press.

So yesterday afternoon, he was sleeping at home all the time.He was single, which meant that no one could alibi him.

Sanpi was taken to the police station. Zhou Yuanyi stared at Sanpi and said, "Do you know? If you can't find an alibi, then you will be in big trouble."

Sanpi smiled nonchalantly, and replied: "Don't scare me. Even if I can't find evidence that I was sleeping at home yesterday afternoon, you can't find evidence that I went to the crime scene! As the police, you A presumption of innocence should be made - I am innocent until there is no evidence that I am a criminal! You should release me immediately, and then look for evidence against me. I am the director of the supplement department of the newspaper, and there are many legal manuscripts , the relevant legal common sense is naturally understood. Of course, I believe that you will find no evidence for the accusation, because I have indeed been sleeping at home!"

Indeed, there is nothing wrong with Sanpi's words.So after Sanpi was released, Zhou Yuanyi looked extremely depressed.

As a freelance writer, Xiaowen spent all yesterday afternoon writing at home.Unlike Chen Ziyan, she didn't have the habit of writing while surfing the Internet, so she didn't leave a proof of her absence on the Internet.Although she took out a bunch of manuscripts written yesterday afternoon, who can prove that these manuscripts were all written yesterday afternoon?

Xiaowen is suspected, but there is also no evidence that she has been to the scene of the crime.Besides, such a frail woman like her doesn't seem to have the strength to kill a strong man like Feng Shu, let alone with such a cruel method.

Of course, if she paid for the murder, that would be another matter.

After talking with Feng Shu's parents and his colleagues, Zhou Yuanyi learned that Feng Shu didn't seem to have any enemies.Although Feng Shu seemed to have some small financial problems, it was nothing more than secretly swallowing a little of the author's royalties.But as the editor in charge of a publishing house, even if the author is paid less, the editor in charge and the author have negotiated with each other. After all, these days, many authors would rather share part of the manuscript fee with the editor than want their own books to be published.Anyway, no author has ever taken the initiative to stand up and report to the publisher's leadership that Feng Shu had embezzled part of the manuscript fee.It seems that it also belongs to the scope of the unspoken rules of the publishing industry.

I checked Feng Shu's cell phone, and the address book included people from all walks of life.In the directory of its key contacts, there are all so-called literary young women.What's more unfortunate is that most of the literary young women are not locals, and there is no record of their recent trips to this city.As for a small number of local literary young women, after investigation, it was found that they all had alibi.

This case seemed to be coming to a dead end, so Zhou Yuanyi was even more depressed.

Just when he was most depressed, Zhou Yuanyi received a call from Chen Ziyan.When he heard that the boss of a building materials company was missing, he didn't cheer up, because he thought that such a case should be reported to the nearby police station, and there was no need to bother the criminal police.But when he heard Chen Ziyan say that the word "Last Judgment" burst out of the mouth of the mysterious man wearing the bronze mask, and it was strikingly similar to Chen Ziyan's thriller novel, Zhou Yuanyi couldn't help but take a deep breath—— —Maybe there is a breakthrough in the case.

In an air-conditioned coffee shop full of green landscape plants, Zhou Yuanyi saw Chen Ziyan and the weeping Zhao Yaxue.

Zhao Yaxue said that usually after work, Wang Shengyang would go straight home and never stay outside for a while.But yesterday until dinner time, Wang Shengyang didn't come back.Called his phone, but turned off the phone, which has never happened before.

"Could it be that the phone is out of battery?" Zhou Yuanyi asked tentatively.

"Impossible!" Zhao Yaxue said categorically, "I will charge his mobile phone every night and prepare a spare battery in his bag."

Zhou Yuanyi couldn't help letting out a sigh inwardly.Such a wife is really scary, with such strict surveillance, how dare Wang Shengyang steal food outside?

"Something must have happened to Sheng Yang! Was he kidnapped? Was he killed? What should I do if he dies?" Zhao Yaxue cried loudly in the cafe regardless of her image.

Zhou Yuanyi hurriedly persuaded: "Don't worry too much. If your husband is really kidnapped, at least his life can be guaranteed. Before getting the ransom, the kidnappers would never dare to tear up the ticket. However, if it really happened In this case, you should go home immediately. If you miss the extortion call from the kidnappers, it would be terrible!"

"Ah!" Zhao Yaxue exclaimed, jumped up like an electric shock, packed up her things and ran out of the coffee shop.She has to go home and wait for the call.

Before Zhao Yaxue left the coffee shop, she did not forget to ask Zhou Yuanyi for his phone number.When asking for the number, she blinked and said to Zhou Yuanyi: "I've never seen a policeman as handsome as you, let's keep in touch when we have time."

Seeing the twitching fat on the fat woman's face, Zhou Yuanyi couldn't help shivering, and sour water gushed from his stomach.

Seeing the obsessive look in Zhao Yaxue's eyes, Zhou Yuanyi wondered if she really cared about her husband that much.

But anyway, Zhao Yaxue left the coffee shop.But at this moment, Zhou Yuanyi never expected that this was the last time he saw Zhao Yaxue alive.

After seeing off the plague god, Zhou Yuanyi sat down again and asked Chen Ziyan about Tang Yifei's encounter with the masked man in the parking lot on the second floor of the building.

After listening to Chen Ziyan's narration, Zhou Yuanyi felt that things were not as simple as he imagined.

Maybe the man wearing the bronze mask is not a perverted pervert, but he has more dangerous motives.

What is the relationship between the masked man and Wang Shengyang?Why did he take the initiative to put his hand to Tang Yifei's mouth?

Wang Shengyang suddenly disappeared at this time. Did he want to leave his fat wife and find another way of life, or was he really kidnapped?
Reminiscent of the masked man's attempt to blame him, could Wang Shengyang be kidnapped by the masked man?

Is there any connection between the "Last Judgment" spoken by the masked man and Chen Ziyan's new novel?If there is a connection, it is definitely not a good sign.In the last related case, Feng Shu was "washed up". What kind of terrorist incident will happen this time?Will Wang Shengyang become the next victim of the terrorist incident?
But why did everything that happened have an astonishing coincidence with Chen Ziyan's novel?Are these two things related?Is the mysterious man wearing a mask the murderer who killed Feng Shu in the rental house?

A series of questions confuse Zhou Yuanyi's mind like paste.

It is a pity that the surveillance cameras in the underground parking lot did not record what happened at that time. This is really a pity.

After Zhou Yuanyi recorded the main points of Chen Ziyan's narration, he immediately said that he would take this incident seriously and find Wang Shengyang and the mysterious man wearing a mask as soon as possible.

Of course, if Wang Shengyang disappears, the possibility of him being killed cannot be ruled out, so Zhou Yuanyi is going to call Xiao Gao, the forensic doctor of the laboratory, and ask him to go to the bedroom of Wang Shengyang's home, extract Wang Shengyang's hair samples, and obtain DNA samples—— It will play a key role in identifying the corpse in the future.

But before Zhou Yuanyi dialed the number, his cell phone rang.It was the forensic doctor Xiao Gao who called.

There was a little panic in Xiao Gao's tone, and he shouted loudly: "Captain Zhou, come back quickly, Feng Shu's family has found a mage to come to the mortuary, and he must perform a ritual ceremony for the deceased, and bring a Feng Shu's skeleton returns to the countryside for burial!"

"Mage? Jurisprudence? Did you make a mistake? You really played the piano!" Zhou Yuanyi was really angry this time, "Why can't you handle such a small matter? Do you do rituals? What kind of rituals are you going to the mortuary of the police station? It's really inexplicable !"

Xiao Gao emphasized his tone, and said: "Team Zhou, you don't know, this Feng Shu is a minority in a remote area, and the clan has traditional religious beliefs and customs. They call people who die unexpectedly 'violent deaths', and they must be found The bones are buried at night, which is called "night burial". It is said that only in this way can the soul of the deceased be rested in peace and can shelter future generations. They now want to take Feng Shu's bones back to his hometown for "night burial". But now The case has not been closed yet, so we did not agree to allow Feng Shu's family to take away the bones. They made a big noise in the yard outside the mortuary, and invited officials from the Municipal Bureau of Ethnic Affairs and Religious Affairs. so much pressure……"

What a troublesome matter, Zhou Yuanyi could guess what kind of chaos the police station is now.What annoys him the most is that other people are looking for trouble. Now it seems that he has to go back to the bureau.As for the investigation of Wang Shengyang's disappearance, it seems that we have to wait a little longer.He apologized to Chen Ziyan, grabbed his briefcase, and left the cafe quickly.

The moment he went out, he saw two people walking into the cafe slowly - it was Xiaowen and a fair and clean young man.He had seen that man before. Last night when he went to the fan restaurant to look for Chen Ziyan, he had seen him in the private room. It seemed that his name was Mo Feng.

Maybe Mo Feng is Xiaowen's boyfriend, Zhou Yuanyi guessed.However, he didn't pay much attention to it. He didn't even say hello, so he got into the off-road police car parked outside the cafe, and drove away with the siren on.

At this time, Zhou Yuanyi's mood was even worse than early in the morning.

Chen Ziyan also saw Xiaowen and Mo Feng.

Holding the cup calmly, he quietly walked behind Xiao Wen and Mo Feng.He didn't mean to eavesdrop on the conversation between the two, he was just a little curious whether Mo Feng was Xiao Wen's new boyfriend.

Secretly, Chen Ziyan felt a little unworthy for Feng Shu.In the past, he had heard that Xiaowen was Feng Shu's rumored girlfriend, and this matter seemed to be spreading in the circle. In addition, Xiaowen was originally a popular female writer who wrote emotional novels, with trendy thinking and open style, even if the rumors were It's really no surprise.

But now that Feng Shu's body was still cold, Xiaowen and Mo Feng were in a pair, which inevitably made Chen Ziyan feel resentful.

However, standing behind the two of them, Chen Ziyan didn't hear the tender and affectionate conversation between the two of them. They were just exchanging their views on a new stream-of-consciousness novel written by a famous writer.The terminology is quite professional, and even Chen Ziyan can't understand some words.It seems that this Mo Feng is not an idiot in the middle of a golden jade, which makes Chen Ziyan have a good impression of this young man, and he also wants to join the discussion between the two.

So Chen Ziyan walked up to Xiaowen and Mo Feng generously and said hello.

The two were taken aback, they didn't expect to meet an acquaintance in this cafe, they immediately invited Chen Ziyan to a seat, and they discussed literary topics together.

The three of them first discussed recent hot issues in the literary world, and Chen Ziyan found that Mo Feng had his own opinions, which won his heart.After chatting for a while, Chen Ziyan brought the topic to his new work.But to his dismay, although he sent an email to Xiaowen, Xiaowen was busy with drafting these days, so she never opened her mailbox to check her emails.A slap failed, so Chen Ziyan had no choice but to withdraw the topic silently.
