"Are you saying that the girl who was raped by Wang Yang … "That's not right!" I said, "The one behind the girl!"
"Ha ha!" Elder Liang stroked his beard, "I really like your bold hypothesis, failing to discover anything is actually a kind of discovery. When we can't find any clues, it also provides us with clues!"
"That's right!" I chuckled and said, "It seems like our Task Force has fallen into a whirlpool. However, I feel that we should be able to figure it out very quickly!"
I said, "We were all knocked unconscious by the Second boy's words. We had always wanted to find out the motive of Zhou Xiaoxiao and the rest for the crime and their relationship with the deceased. However, they could not link the two of them together."
"Under normal circumstances, the one who was related to Zhou Xiaoxiao was the second one, but up until now, we have been unable to find the true identity of the second female corpse, and the first one was unable to form a proper connection with Zhou Xiaoxiao, so we have no way of finding out!"
I slowed down my car, opened the window and lit a cigarette. I continued to say, "Shanghe County is a small town, the way the two dead men died is the same, and Time of Death are almost the same. I can confirm that this was definitely not an imitation of the culprit."
I pointed to the prison ahead and said to Elder Liang, "The first victim is a criminal, is it possible that the second victim also came from there?"
"What do you think?" Elder Liang asked me in a low voice. I noticed that his expression was solemn.
I said, "The criminal could not have come all the way to the Estuary Village to throw the body away. The murderer must have been a local. If the outsider had the time to throw the body away, he could have completely destroyed the body and erased all traces of it!"
"Secondly, the reason why we can't find the identity of the deceased might be because they lost their connection with their family!" I pointed to the prison in front of us and said smilingly, "In the entire Shanghe County, perhaps only this place has lost contact with their family?"
Elder Liang nodded, "If it wasn't for Wang Yang's mother, we might have had to spend a very long time to find this place!"
The prison in front of me was getting closer and closer to me. From a distance, the high walls of the prison looked like a door that separated the world from the world.
The first door was actually two different worlds!
What were the prisoners thinking as they sat on the ground and looked up at the sky? Homesickness? Or the girl in the distance?
I slowly stopped the car. Before I entered the prison, I sent Wei Shijie a short message. In my text message, I told him to investigate the number of criminals currently held in Shanghe County Prison, as well as all the criminals who were released from the prison. I also told him to pay special attention to the movement of criminals in Shanghe County Prison.
I showed the staff member of the prison the special certificate for Task Force. When the staff member saw our certificate, he was very surprised.
After about 5 minutes, I saw a middle-aged fatty with a fierce-looking face run into the reception room. After he ran in, he grabbed my hand. "Aiya, two big figures have come. I …"
That fat guy was a little excited, he panted and said, "I have long heard about Task Force!" While speaking, I saw the fatty looking at Elder Liang beside me with gleaming eyes. His hand that was holding onto me was currently trembling a little, "Could this be the renowned Professor Liang Shouyuan?"
"Ha ha!" Elder Liang waved his hand and said, "It's just an old man!"
Elder Liang shook hands with the Warden as he spoke. "We have something to trouble you with!"
"No trouble, no trouble at all!" The Warden rolled his eyes and said, "To be able to help Task Force is my honor!"
I caught sight of the actions of the warden. I felt that his enthusiasm was a bit overdone, and it seemed fake. I took out my Monarch Hibiscus and handed him one, saying, "Have any of your prisoners been released recently?"
"Ah …" "Ah, this!" "I'll take you to the information room," the warden said.
Walking along the long corridor of the prison, I could see through the glass window that there were a lot of prisoners doing exercises. There were about two hundred of them, so I asked Warden Zhai, "How many prisoners are in the prison right now?"
"Sigh!" Chief Zhai sighed, "Shanghe County is a poverty-stricken county, the poorer it is, the higher the crime rate is. Also, Shanghe County is the only place in this province where felons are imprisoned, it's hard to manage!"
"There are 15 prisoners on life imprisonment, 308 prisoners over 20 years, 600 prisoners over 15 years, and 700 prisoners under 10 years. Sometimes there are even prisoners on death row!" The warden pointed to a small two-story building not far away from the prison. "There are four hundred women prisoners in that prison."
"Hmm?" Something is not right. Haven't we already banned the method of male and female prisoners? When I asked the warden what was going on, he said to me, "It's in the middle of nowhere, and there's no money allocated. Where are we going to build a new prison?"
The country cannot possibly give up on this place. At this moment, I sympathized with County Head Mu, he alone manages this poverty-stricken county, how difficult is it for him to manage alone, I wonder how the process of him recruiting for business is going?!
Arriving at the prison's information room, I smoothly obtained all of the prison personnel transfer files for the past half month. Warden Zhai had the staff to help us print out the files, and I also had him help me transfer the transfer files from the women's prison.
The Elder Liang and I drove out of the prison, and after a few turns, I stopped the car.
I took out the file information from the back seat. The information on it was very official, and I did see Wang Yang's name on it. But unfortunately, other than the ID number and the prisoner's address, there wasn't even a contact number.
Over a period of half a month, 35 prisoners, 28 males and 7 females, were released from prison. The average age of these people was all above 30 years old, and only Wang Yang was at the time, 20 years old.
"Will there be a second victim among these seven women?" I told Elder Liang: "It's too taxing to investigate this file. Our manpower is limited, it looks like we need to find a shortcut!"
Beep, beep, beep...
When the phone rang, I picked up the phone and saw that it was actually Wei Shijie.
"Is there any news?"
"No!" A loud noise came from the other side of the phone, he said, "Brother Little Chuan, something happened in the Public Security Bureau, a large crowd is here to cause trouble! Furthermore … And they even brought a human butt, there was actually a third victim! Even the television stations have come! "
"I'll be there shortly!" I told the Elder Liang about it as I was driving. He thought for a while and said, "I always felt that it happened too suddenly!"
I nodded. "That's right, the first case was exposed only because of the reporters, and the second was reported by the village head. However, Second boy's statement stated that the village head was also involved in this case, but the third case? "How did it get to the Public Security Bureau?"
I'm glad my car didn't break down this time. Half an hour later, I parked the car in front of the Public Security Bureau. At this time, the front of the Public Security Bureau was filled with onlookers. Some people were even holding a white banner with the slogan "Mu Shangfeng, get out of Shanghe County" written crookedly in black ink.
A few reporters with cameras were now filming the footage. I saw a tall, thin man with glasses, doing a news report in front of the cameras.
At this moment, County Head Mu and Jiang Shan were maintaining order in the crowd. In front of them, there was a temporary stretcher made from firewood sticks, and the stretcher was covered with a white cloth.
Opposite County Head Mu was an old man wearing a straw hat. The old man was gesturing in front of County Head Mu, and from the looks of it, he was probably scolding him.
"You'd better not go down!" Looking at these people, I felt that it was somewhat dangerous. If they were to make a move, what would happen if Elder Liang was injured? I said to him, "I'll go take a look!"
Just as he opened the car door, he saw the old man spitting furiously at the ground, "Mu Shangfeng, are you still a f * cking county magistrate? What did you make of this Shanghe County? In broad daylight, you just lie on top of my toilet. Tell me, is this Shanghe County still under the control of the Communist Party? "
"I heard that two days ago, he also found a place to stay. Hurry up and give us an explanation!" The old man's saliva flew out, "And our Lu family's shack for poverty alleviation, it's already been two years, why hasn't it been peeled off? Did you secretly kick the Pocket? "
"Be careful when you speak!" Jiang Shan looked at the old man with unfriendly eyes, "County Head Mu is not that kind of person, he has already fought for him, wait for a while!"
"Wait my ass!" The old man scolded: "The Lu family's shacks don't even have any f * cking wild vegetables left, what are we waiting for?! "Mu Shangfeng, f * cking hurry up and get off the stage. We originally agreed on a deal last year, but now you f * cking want to block it. That's money!"
Cough cough cough!
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew in from the surroundings, causing County Head Mu to cough violently. He was in a very weak state, so Jiang Shan hurriedly supported him by the arm. He waved his hand, looked at the old man, and said: "Those trees are all wealth ah … …" It's an old tree that's lived for hundreds of years, we can't kill it. What should we do about our descendants? "
"Descendant?!" The old man threw the straw hat on his head onto the ground, "Fuck, what about the next generation? They're all about to starve to death, what do they care! "Fellow villagers, let's all shout together!"
Mu Shangfeng, get the hell out of Shanghe County!
Mu Shangfeng, fuck …
Mu Shangfeng, quickly arrest the murderer. If you can't, your entire family will die!
Perhaps it was because of his excitement, County Head Mu's body started to tremble violently. The river initially wanted to pull him into the Public Security Bureau, but there were too many people surrounding him, he was already surrounded so that not even a drop of water could leak out. There were also some reporters who were not afraid of danger and continued to record images of County Head Mu's surroundings, completely disregarding his physical condition.
I tried my best to squeeze out of the crowd, but just as I was about to squeeze in, I saw that the old man's hand suddenly had an extra pole, and County Head Mu was standing not too far away from him. I saw that he raised the rod, and smashed it towards County Head Mu's head!
