I hastily washed my face and rushed to the meeting room of the Public Security Bureau without even brushing my teeth.
Inside the meeting room, all of us from Task Force were present, while County Head Mu, Jiang Shan and a few other local colleagues were seated on both sides of the table.
Looks like everyone woke up earlier than me, I apologised to everyone and nodded, then sat beside Liao Mengfann. As soon as I sat down, I felt as if my right foot had been kicked.
I turned my head and saw Liao Mengfann looking at me reproachfully. She whispered to me, "Next time, be careful. We've been waiting for twenty minutes for you. You haven't even woken up from the phone call!"
"I'm sorry!" My face was very red at the time. I said, "After seeing that mirror yesterday, my body was a little weak. Sorry!"
"I know!" Liao Mengfann kicked my foot again, and said: "I understand! County Head Mu is about to manage the meeting! "
While speaking, County Head Mu nodded to everyone present. His body was not well, after just saying that one sentence, he immediately started coughing. He spat on the tissue. Although he folded the tissue very quickly, I could vaguely see that there was a hint of red on the tissue. Did he cough up blood?
County Head Mu took a sip of water and said to everyone: "My fellow colleagues, this morning, the 110 command center of the Public Security Bureau received a report from the police. A young man called Wang Yang disappeared after he was released from prison, and the time he was released was exactly fifteen days ago.
"He's been missing for fifteen days. Why did he only report it?" I wonder why his family didn't pick him up at the jail when he was released half a month ago. Judging from the reaction of this Wang Yang family member, his family shouldn't have given up on him yet.
County Head Mu said, "Originally, Wang Yang's date of release was yesterday, but he performed well in the prison, so his punishment was reduced by half a month. His family found out yesterday that he had already left prison early!"
Professor Liang interrupted and said, "After a majority of the prisoners are released from prison, they will mostly go back to their old ways. Why is this Wang Yang in prison?"
"Rape!" County Head Mu drank another mouthful of water and the water cup covered his eyes. He said: "When he was in junior high school, he raped two girls from his school. Because he was not yet eighteen years old, he did not receive a severe punishment."
I asked Jiang Shan: "Have you managed to contact this Wang Yang family member? It would be best to do a DNA test to see if that man's butt was Wang Yang's! "
Jiang Shan sighed and said, "I've already contacted him. His family is currently rushing to the Public Security Bureau. However, our county's conditions are limited. We can't do DNA identification, so we can only seek help from the provincial government!"
"I'll go!" Aunt Wang Meiqing said: "So far, there is no clue to the case. Except for the two cut buttocks, we can't find any remains of any human body or human bones. After checking, I found out that the dead body of the male was around 20 years old, it fit Wang Yang very well, I want to give it a try! "
"Let me call the department!" Elder Liang took out his cell phone and said: "If those guys don't give us some pressure, I think this matter won't be easy to handle. It's hard to get people to do things for us!"
Elder Liang used a phone to solve the problem at the top, after which, Aunt Wang Meiqing returned to the county's Medical Examiner's Office. Wang Yang's family members were about to arrive, she still had to draw their blood.
Since arriving at Shanghe County, Elder Liang and Aunt Wang Meiqing have been useless. Not only the two of them, everyone in our Task Force has been wandering around in this chaotic circle.
In fact, we really don't want that dead person to be the one we have our eyes on. In our hearts, we all hope that he is still alive, living well.
Only the five of us from Task Force remained in the room. Jiang Shan and County Head Mu left after the meeting, and that business project in the county has been progressing very well, so County Head Mu cannot miss this chance. He said that this is the only chance we have to change our Shanghe County.
I looked at County Head Mu's back as he wasted away. I felt extremely sad in my heart. Maybe not from the beginning?
Wei Shijie had already returned from Riverside Village. I stretched lazily and asked him, "What did you and Jiang Shan find out?"
Wei Shijie said: "I found Zhou Xiaoxiao's matchmaker, but I don't have any important clues. and the matchmaker are relatives, Zhou Xiaoxiao's mother and the matchmaker are playmates, when they are idle, they decided to talk about it!"
I shook my head. If what Cheng Yuee said was true, then this situation was definitely not right. Zhou Xiaoxiao had a boyfriend, how could she agree to the matchmaker's marriage? I asked Wei Shijie: "Did you find anything else about Zhou Xiaoxiao?"
Wei Shijie said: "Her mother said that she used to have a boyfriend, who seemed to have studied geography and mapping. However, the two of them broke up and Zhou Xiaoxiao suffered a setback and didn't go out to find a job. Instead, she ended up marrying Da Qiangzi!"
"What's her boyfriend's name?" Liao Mengfann asked.
"I don't know!" Wei Shijie sighed, and said: "Her mother played mahjong all the time, and did not care about these things, Zhou Xiaoxiao did not say anything either!"
…
Silence fell upon the room. Everyone was thinking about their own problems. Even now, there was no relationship between the case and mine. This case gave me a chaotic feeling, as if I had fallen into a huge whirlpool. No matter how hard I tried, I was unable to escape its shackles.
Liao Mengfann, who had a lot of inspiration for solving cases in the past, also became silent. Her brows knitted tightly, no one knew what she was thinking about. Wei Shijie also brought out the laptop that he had never left behind. Brother Huang also sat on a chair and looked up at the dark sky.
Elder Liang sat alone at the conference table, silently drinking his tea. He pursed his dry lips, breaking the long silence.
"Everyone, don't feel pressured!" Elder Liang told us: "All cases have flaws, as long as the culprit is a human, it is impossible to not have flaws!"
Liao Mengfann shook her head and asked: "The key point is that this case is too unorthodox. The number one suspect is injured, and I feel that Zhou Xiaoxiao does not have the ability to kill."
"That's right!" I said, "Those two buttocks were cut off by someone using an iron saw. Moreover, the place where the corpse was thrown was tens of miles away, could Zhou Xiaoxiao do it by herself? Or did Zhou Xiaoxiao only play the role of throwing corpses around in this case? "
I continued, "Currently, Zhou Xiaoxiao is extremely uncooperative with our investigation. We don't have any direct evidence, so it's impossible to interrogate him forcefully.
I cursed angrily. Elder Liang smiled at me and said, "Young people, don't be emotional. Have you all forgotten about that mental illness called Second boy? He only provided the location of Zhou Xiaoxiao's corpse, what about the time? What about the surrounding environment? Did he say that? "
"That's right!" I fiercely slapped my thigh. Elder Liang was right, other than providing the name Zhou Xiaoxiao, he did not say anything else. Could he be hiding something?
I helplessly shook my head. Liao Mengfann's hypnosis can only be used once a month, and Second boy is extremely uncooperative under normal circumstances. What should I do? I explained the difficult situation to everyone, and everyone started to silently ponder.
…
"I have an idea, I don't know if it'll work or not!" Brother Huang who had been silent all this time suddenly said: "Can we trick him?"
"Tell me your method!" The Elder Liang was interested.
Brother Huang said, "Didn't he want to eat butt? Can't we make a fake butt for him? For example, make a butt-shaped cake? "
"I think it's feasible!" Liao Mengfann interrupted, "I used my hypnotism to coordinate with him, he shouldn't be able to find out that it's fake!"
"Ah?!" I kicked Liao Mengfann's leg and whispered, "Isn't it only once a month?"
After Liao Mengfann finished listening, she suddenly stomped on the back of my feet. She shook her head and said, "It's fine, just rest more! And … Don't talk nonsense next time! "
That depression of mine, what the heck was I spouting? You told me yourself, okay?
That's not right! I suddenly thought, wasn't what I just said a little too straightforward? Yes, it was said that once a month, it was inevitable that Liao Mengfann would not think too much into it!
In this poor region of Shanghe County, it was not easy to make a cake. If you want to make a butt-shaped cake, it's even more difficult. In the end, there was no other way around it. Brother Huang and I ran to the provincial capital.
At that time, the shop assistant in the cake shop looked at Brother Huang and me with a weird gaze, but there was nothing we could do.
After the cake was done, we immediately got up and hurried back to Shanghe County. During this period of time, we had already gone through five car crashes, and two tyres had exploded twice. By the time we reached Shanghe County, it was already past ten in the morning of the second day.
When we opened the cake box, a musty smell instantly wafted out. Smelling the smell, everyone covered their noses, Wei Shijie flapped his nose with all his might and said: "How are we going to eat this?"
I was a little helpless, this place is too depressed. I circled around the smelly cake and suddenly thought of a very important problem. I clenched my fist and said to everyone: "I think that Second boy will definitely like this cake!"
"Think about it!" I smiled and said, "Didn't he like to be left behind? Aren't they all stinky? "It's just right for that!"
"To think that you could think of such a thing!" Liao Mengfann was amused by me. She helplessly looked at the smelly cake and said: "However, this is the only way!"
