Chapter 30 Ending
The facts of Zhou Yanchen's crime are clear and the evidence is conclusive.
The police found the first scene where the three victims, Zhang Wen, Lin Wei and Chen Li, were killed in the abandoned Cheng'an Hospital. The bloodstains and related evidence at the scene all indicated that Zhou Yanchen was the murderer.
As for the innocent Zhang Ziang and his assistant Shen Qing, with the assistance of Interpol, their bodies were found in the house that Zhou Zhengguo gave to his son as a coming-of-age gift for his 18th birthday.
The body was built into the wall and no one has ever found it.
Because no one except Zhou Yanchen himself could enter the house, and in the past year, Zhou Yanchen pretended to be Zhang Ziang to transfer money to his family and send emails to Zhou Zhengguo, and no one was suspicious.
He took over Zhang Ziang's clinic and used it to serve his cruel plan, which he managed to keep secret for a whole year.
Zhou Zhengguo and Liang Jing have suffered a serious illness and are still in the hospital.
Lin Wenjue and Luo Xun went to interrogate Zhou Yanchen, but he refused to cooperate and only said one thing, that he wanted to see the policeman who arrested him.
Luo Xun called Chi Xialai: "He won't cooperate, he just wants to see you."
"Why do you want to see me?" Chi Xia was puzzled: "Captain Luo, I don't want to see you."
"Give me a reason?" Luo Xun asked her.
"The evidence is irrefutable. He has to admit it even if he doesn't want to. There's no need to meet him."
Chi Xia said as a matter of course.
Lin Wenjue laughed: "Chi Xia, let's meet him and see what he wants to say. This is also our job."
Ever since she joined the task force, Lin Wenjue had great goodwill towards her, and since he had spoken, it was difficult for Chi Xia to refuse.
She nodded. "Okay."
Chi Xia entered the interrogation room and saw that the gentle and elegant Zhou Yanchen was in a dishevel. When he saw her come in, he smiled and sat up.
"What do you want to say?" Chi Xia sat down and asked him.
Zhou Yanchen looked at her with a half-smile. He glanced around, his eyes resting on the one-way glass, and then he looked at Chi Xia meaningfully.
"What can't be said?"
Chi Xia saw what he meant and pointed to the monitor: "Every word we say here will be recorded. This is the rule."
"Aren't you afraid that I will say something that will embarrass you?" Zhou Yanchen said.
Chi Xia laughed: "You want to embarrass me? Are you referring to your so-called psychological warfare, such as saying that you and I are the same kind?"
Zhou Yanchen was stunned.
"That's not necessary, Mr. Zhou."
Chi Xia looked at him and said calmly, "Your ability is not good enough for me."
Zhou Yanchen saw the mockery and contempt in her eyes. She saw through his purpose from the moment she came in.
He's already in jail, yet he still wants to disgust others.
"Let's talk about something useful. Why does Chen Li have scars of sexual abuse? Did she wake up during the process?"
Zhou Yanchen stared at her for a few seconds, then suddenly laughed. He said, "Yes, because she woke up suddenly. I didn't expect her to wake up. She shouldn't have laughed at me. Why did she laugh at me? What qualifications does she have to laugh at me?"
"why not?"
Chi Xia said in a cold voice: "She is laughing at your self-degradation, don't you know?"
"How is she better than me?"
Zhou Yanchen's smile was cruel: "I won't let her die cleanly!"
"Whether she is clean or not has nothing to do with her body."
Chi Xia looked at him with disgust: "Her soul is clean, that's enough."
Zhou Yanchen was silent for a while, then smiled to himself.
Chi Xia asked again: "Are there any other victims we haven't found yet?"
"have."
"Where is the body?"
"We're all going to die anyway, so why should I tell you? Just take your time to look for it. If you find it, it'll be your credit."
Zhou Yanchen smiled, as if he had the upper hand again.
"It doesn't matter."
Chi Xia stood up: "It does not prevent the law from judging you, but we will find out."
She was too lazy to listen to his nonsense and turned away.
"But it's all my fault!"
Zhou Yanchen's voice sounded from behind: "I am obviously a victim as well. You clearly understand my pain, don't you?"
Chi Xia paused, she turned and looked at Zhou Yanchen: "Pain is not a reason for you to kill people. There are so many people in this world who live in pain, but most of them have never hurt others."
"You used your pain as a knife to stab innocent people who should have lived well. Mr. Zhou, I've said before that, except for your parents, no one will forgive you, no one will feel sorry for you, and no one will empathize with you."
"have!"
Zhou Yanchen's voice was torn: "You don't understand, there are people in this world who are just like me, they feel my pain, they understand my heart, but you don't know it yet!"
Chi Xia snorted coldly and didn't care about his words. She walked out and saw Luo Xun and Lin Wenjue. They looked at her with complicated eyes.
"Okay, leave this to us."
Luo Xun spoke first: "You should go to the infirmary to change the medicine."
Chi Xia smiled at them, climbed down the stairs and left.
"Luo Xun." Lin Wenjue watched Chi Xia leave: "What kind of person do you think Chi Xia is?"
Luo Xun laughed at him: "It's only been a few days, how can I know what kind of person she is? I say, Lao Lin, don't you like her very much? Why are you talking about this now?"
"I do like it."
Lin Wenjue patted Luo Xun on the shoulder: "I think that our Chi Xia is more than just smart, our task force has a treasure!"
"Let's go. I don't believe we can't pry open his mouth." Lin Wenjue smiled and entered the interrogation room.
Luo Xun: Is it that necessary?
…
Zhou Yanchen's case has come to an end.
As for those victims , Zhou Yanchen remained silent in the end. Even if Luo Xun and Lin Wen joined forces, they could not get the information out of his mouth.
The remains of Zhang Ziang and his assistant Shen Qing were returned to their hometown a year later.
Qin Mei's condition is a bit serious. She has just passed the critical period in the past two days, but she is still unwilling to see anyone. The police can only delay the meeting with her.
Liang Jing is still in the hospital, but Zhou Zhengguo, despite his illness, came out to bury his student Zhang Ziang, and went to the Shen family in person to apologize.
Shen's parents were heartbroken. Zhou Zhengguo fell to the ground and was injured during the scuffle, but he just stood up, wiped the blood off his face, and waved his hand to refuse Chi Xia and others' help.
"I owe it to others. This injury is nothing compared to what I have done."
He aged many years overnight, his body became hunched and his face looked haggard.
After handling related matters at the police station, he said to Chi Xia before leaving: "Officer Chi, you are right, I created this devil myself. If...if..."
"No ifs, Dr. Zhou."
Chi Xia knew what he wanted to say: "It's not all your fault. Everyone has a dark side. Some people are willing to degenerate, while others are striving to improve themselves, such as Zhou Yanchen and you. Some people go astray because of a combination of factors. You don't have to put all the blame on yourself. You and your wife still have a long way to go."
Zhou Zhengguo sighed and stopped the topic. If not him, who else could he blame?
He'll have to blame himself for the rest of his life.
The father didn't say anything else. He turned and walked out, but suddenly stopped.
"Doctor Zhou, is there anything else?" Chi Xia asked when he stopped.
Zhou Zhengguo came up again and took out a piece of paper from his pocket: "Here, I don't know if it's useful to you, I found it in Xiaochen's room."
Chi Xia took the note with an account number on it and looked at Zhou Zhengguo inquiringly.
"This account is closely connected to Xiaochen. A few years ago, Xiaochen went to meet the other party."
Zhou Zhengguo said: "I tried to add it, but the other party did not agree."
"Maybe, he's just an ordinary netizen?" Chi Xia said.
Zhou Zhengguo shook his head firmly and said, "No, now that I think about it, everything started after he met this netizen."
Chi Xia 's eyes narrowed.
"You don't know, Xiaochen is a child with a talent for medicine. He had already promised me that he would choose medicine. He wasn't obsessed with painting or anything like that, but we still had a fight over it. He went to meet this online friend, and after he came back, everything was different."
Chi Xia took out his cell phone to add that account.
"it's useless."
Zhou Zhengguo said: "After you came to our house, I immediately added you again, but you had already cancelled your account."
This is a bit of a problem.
After seeing Zhou Zhengguo off, Chi Xia told Luo Xun about this.
Luo Xun stared at the note for a long time and finally came to the conclusion that this thing was just a guess now. They had no clues and could only let it go for now.
Chi Xia didn't refute, but nodded: "Then I will go write the closing statement."
Luo Xun watched her return to her initial stupid state, his eyes full of inquiry.
