Li Yi was the leader of this assault operation, and also a battle-hardened expert in solving cases.
When he took people into Wude Village and controlled all those villagers who were still sleeping, the crime scene of the Lin family had not been dealt with yet. After half of the night’s fermentation, the bloody smell and rotten odors in the room were more intense, and the scene was tragic. Even Li Yi could not help frowning.
What kind of hatred could make a person cut five other people like this? The other five dead were also men, why could not they beat one murderer?
Maybe it was a group fight at the beginning? Li Yi thought it was better not to conclude interrogating the murderer and witnesses.
In truth, he had read the crazy post on the Internet before he came here. He did not know the person who posted it. The most skillful network experts in the police team could not check the IP address of the person who posted the post, but one thing was sure, the other side was on the mountain and had deep hatred with the people in the village.
When reading this post, he was also quite angry. As a policeman, he always used justice as his motto and firmly believed in the rightness of the law. However, reading the description in this post about the miserable life of the girls abducted to the mountain, even he had an impulse to kill everyone in this village directly.
He restrained his temper and waited in the Lin family’s courtyard for his men to bring all the villagers here.
“She’s come for revenge. She’s come for revenge.”
Lin Youde, who first brought here, seemed to be very bewildered. He kept repeating a sentence in his mouth.
“Who is going to take revenge?” Li Yi’s eyebrows jumped, instinctively that he (she) from the murderer’s mouth might be the key to the problem.
“Who?”
Lin Youde lowered his head and shrank into a ball, just as Li Yi approached him.
“Ghost!” He was smiling. His face had covered with blood and minced meat. He was like a devil, with his mouth was wide open, his eyes covered with blood. He suddenly looked up.
The sudden action scared a few timid policewomen on the side to look around quickly, only to see nothing, then slowed down their heartbeat.
Li Yi’s resistance to pressure was unmistakably better than these little policewomen. At this time, he had determined that Lin Youde was pretending to be crazy and played dumb. There were no supernatural beings in the world. As a firm materialist, Li Yi saw the people who pretended to be insane and played dumb after these crimes and tried to evade the responsibility of the law by this kind of behavior.
Lin Youde’s acting skills were truly higher than those people, almost bluffing Li Yi. But this did not mean that he would be led away by him. The tragedy in the truth inside the room was a ghost crime.
“Captain, the villagers have all brought. We checked the identity information, and the dead in the room are Zhang Fugui and his three sons, as well as Lin Youcai, the younger brother of the murderer.”
“Also, there are 13 women who aren’t on the population registration in the village, as well as eight foreign men. After interrogation, seven of the eight men are fleeing traffickers. The trafficker, Lai San, tries to escape with hostages and is hit by our police officers on the right leg. Now he has made a simple bandage and has been detained. The thirteen women are confirmed to be trafficked women. Five of them just delivered today, and eight other women have delivered in succession in the past ten years. According to the inquiry, there are five women besides them, with four women who committed suicide. One woman broke into the back mountain in the process of escaping and was killed by wild animals. Our people have gone to the back mountain to find her body.”
Even with psychological preparation, the present police officers could not help but lament for the poor girls, especially the five girls who died in their prime of life.
Some people, who had followed and tried to find their daughters, were almost knelt on the ground. Their legs were soft. They were afraid that one of the five dead girls was their child.
The women, who originally came for hope, the weaker ones had begun to cry. They grabbed all the things they could catch and fought against traffickers and villagers under the government’s control.
Those who wanted to defend and resisted, being controlled by the armed forces, many of them were armed police with children. They could feel the feelings of these family members. They seemed to be on the fence on the surface, but they indeed stopped those villagers and traffickers so that the out-of-control family members could fight harder.
Although it violated the regulations, who cared about it at this time?
There were no police in Li County. After all, there was absolutely no reason to suspect that such a big case happened in the area. It was the local police station and the lawless elements who were in collusion or deliberately condoned. This time, the police force sent from the city and the surrounding areas did not understand the situation in Li County. Naturally, they would not have any sympathy for these villagers.
“Eight? Is there another identified foreign male?”
Li Yi, a veteran criminal police officer, soon found that his subordinates had missed one without saying anything.
“There’s also a tourist who went up to see the sunrise. But he was trapped in the mountain by the heavy rain. We investigated his identity, and he’s just a common suspended college student. There’s no doubt about it.” The little police officer looked at the record and told the captain.
“Out of school and in the mood to see the sunrise?”
Li Yi looked in the direction of the small police officer’s vision. He saw Yan Chu standing under the eaves, empty within three meters. His eyes squinted. His years of experience in handling the case told him that this man was very problematic.
Some people thought his intuition was absurd, but to the extent of Li Yi’s style, his one was often more reliable than anything else.
The young man across from him had a delicate and refined appearance, but from him, Li Yi saw the antisocial behavior and reeking of blood air that even the serial killers did not have.
Immediately Li Yi decided to make a further investigation of that Yan Chu.
There were too many doubts about him.
“Mom, Dad!”
Several young girls from afar thought their lives had been ruined. Unexpectedly, they got saved. When they saw their family here, they immediately ran towards them and cried.
“Mom, Second Aunt, Third Aunt, Second Uncle, Third Uncle, how about my dad? Why didn’t my dad come?” A delicate and pretty girl was about to cry and become a crybaby person. This week was the most terrible week she had experienced.
“Your father is in the hospital. Now that you already found, he’ll be better soon.” A woman in her 40s or 50s was hugging the girl tightly. She was reluctant to let go, for fear that the child would disappear in the next second.
It was natural to be happy to find their children and some who did not find their children were crying again.
This experience of allowing hope and yet feeling despair was too painful.
“Yinyin, do you think what Brother did is right?”
Yan Chu looked at this scene not far away and said softly. Li Yi, who had been watching him silently on the other side, thought that it was even more strange. How could he still talk to himself?
The little girl in the state of the soul could not give Yan Chu the answer. In fact, in the original self’s heart, he also had resentment against these living girls. He was also a child who had suffered such an ordeal. Why did his younger sister die, and they lived well? So when he slaughtered a whole village, he did not let go of those women who abducted as well.
His final tenderness was his only mistake because the women in the village had been numb for a long time, and the three girls with hope in their eyes. He thought that his younger sister must be the same as them, begging him to appear when she was most afraid.
So he let the three girls go and caused him to be arrested by the police before the plan to be completed.
Although Yan Chu got influenced by the monstrous hatred of the original self, he still had his thinking and reason, so he chose to save those girls.
He thought that this was what Yinyin, a kind girl, wanted to see.
Standing beside him, the little girl who no one could see at the moment crooked her head, but her terrible appearance became a little simpler.
She felt that the man next to her seemed to be crestfallen. She did not want to make the other person sad. She learned the actions that the other party had done these days and tried to hold his hand. As long as she shook his hand, he would be happy.
But she forgot that she could not touch the man beside her.
“Good child, good Yinyin.”
Yan Chu took the initiative to hold the little girl next to him. She was pretty happy, and the blood flowed faster in her eyes.
Li Yi watched Yan Chu’s action after talking to himself, and he was even more puzzled.
All the people had taken down the mountain. Some innocent children were taken away by the policewomen to take care of them. The influence of this matter was so bad that it could not be solved by four characters of no law, no duty63no law, no dutyeven if a certain behavior should be punished by law, but many people do it and it is not easy to punish them.
There were still some police forces on the mountain, who were responsible for staying at the investigation site and looking for the bones of the poor girl buried in the mountains.
When the villagers had been taken away, they shouted that they were innocent. The police had no right to arrest them. There were indeed several families who had not participated in the population trade. But at the same time, they also convinced other families in the village to trade women and helped to hunt down the abducted girls when they escaped. If they were innocent, they could not be charged.
Unfortunately, according to the law of the present day, these villagers who were shouting their innocence could be released at most for several days. In reality, if it was not because of the evil influence of this incident, it might not be necessary for several days.
Even the buyers who participated in the population trade, according to the current law, could not be held up for many years. Also, the crime of forcing women to have sexual relations was only ten years at most. The charge was too light. For these remote people, life in prison might not be different from that at home, and it was not a punishment at all.
Several police officers who were familiar with the process of handling a case should have foreseen the attacks on the government and the law by those netizens. But they did not want to let these disgusting people directly shoot themselves.
The legislation was rigorous work. Traffickers had short sentences because they usually had information about human trafficking, and most of them had hostages when they were arrested.
Once the traffickers had the same high penalties as drug dealers, the consequences were likely to be a group of gunmen who, once found, fired and hurt the hostages, or other worse outcomes.
Therefore, this issue had been mentioned all the time. But before there was enough basis to guarantee, it was sad and helpless to change the cause of those penalties.
Along the way, besides those people’s swearing and the crying of some family members who did not find their children, the investigators were very quiet all the way.
The police station of Li County was temporarily confiscated, while the police officers of the original police force were temporarily suspended.
Although Yan Chu had not any questionable points, as a person who stayed in the village during that time, he was also asked to remain and recorded his confession before leaving.
He was taken to an empty room by a policewoman. There was only one table with three chairs in it, and he sat on the side of only one chair. The policewoman gave him a cup of hot tea and told him that the police force was in short supply now. Maybe it might be his turn to leave after he recorded the future news.
Yan Chu did not drink that cup of tea. He sat in his chair for an hour or two, never changing his posture from beginning to end.
Li Yi looked at the monitoring screen and a copy of the information handed over by the people around him. He had a good idea. He took several stacks of information and went to Yan Chu’s room.
“Yan Yin is your sister, isn’t she?”
This was the first sentence he said when he came in.
