Chapter 38 The Truth
December 13, 2010
Early in the morning, as soon as Zhou Ning entered the office, he saw Zhao Xinli mopping the floor.
He was so diligent that Zhou Ning felt a little overwhelmed.
"How do you help me mop the floor?"
Zhao Xinli put the mop at the door and came over with a smile on his face.
"I'm not trying to show off. Besides, the trial ended very early last night. The boss asked me to wait for you to arrive, sort out all the city bureau's test results and your autopsy report, and submit them directly to him."
Zhou Ning was not surprised by this result, but the report had already been given to them . As for the test results, the email address was public and everyone in the team could log in.
Obviously, Zhao Xinli felt that he was in a heavy mood yesterday and wanted to come over to chat.
In fact, Zhou Ning had already figured it out last night, but facing Zhao Xinli's kindness, he could only follow his intentions and continue talking.
"Did Wang Yi confess?"
Zhao Xinli breathed a sigh of relief, pulled a chair, sat opposite Zhou Ning and began to tell the story.
"When Captain He went to take the people away, he saved his face and handcuffed them before getting on the car. When he arrived at the team, he asked a question, "Did you arrange the person who gave my daughter a physical examination this morning?" Captain He nodded, and Wang Yi asked for a cigarette, and then began to explain.
When you performed the autopsy, didn't you say that the deceased's nose bridge showed signs of healing? That means Wang Yi was the one who beat him. On November 6, Wang Yi's wife was on a business trip, and he brought his children to visit Yu Jingwei's home. The adults were drinking upstairs, and the two children came downstairs to play in the square.
Then, Wang Yi's daughter Wang Xinyi was missing, and Yu Jingwei's daughter Yu Leilei went home to call for help. Yu Leilei said that they were playing hide-and-seek , and an old man gave them candy. Later, no one knew where Wang Xinyi had hidden.
Several half-drunk people started going downstairs to look for the child. They checked the surveillance cameras and asked people in the community. Finally, they saw Wang Xinyi running out of Building 18. An old man behind her pulled her sleeve, and her hair was all scattered. The child screamed in fear.
Wang Yi quickly ran over, knocked the old man down with one punch, picked up his daughter and kept comforting her. Wang Xinyi was scared. Wang Yi asked Wang Xinyi what was wrong. The child was trembling, crying and shouting that she wanted to go home and didn't want to play here anymore.
When Yu Jingwei and Song Luqing saw the old man being knocked down, they were worried that the other party would blackmail them, so they dragged Wang Yi away. The drinking party naturally ended. When they got home, Wang Yi coaxed his daughter for a long time and she stopped crying. But Wang Xinyi never said what happened.
That night, Wang Yi's wife came back and found that his mother-in-law had suddenly passed away. The couple hurriedly sent the child back to their grandmother's house and rushed to deal with the funeral. It was a week later when they returned home.
When I came back, I found that the child's walking posture was not right, so I took the child to the hospital for a check-up and found the injury to the vulva. Finally, after counseling at the psychiatric department, the child told me the whole process. Anyway, it was not a human being, and I stuffed the child's mouth... with something."
Zhou Ning clenched his fists. Not to mention Wang Yi, his blood rushed to his head just listening to him. This guy is just an old beast.
Zhao Xinli patted Zhou Ning on the shoulder and continued.
"Wang Yi was anxious and wanted to call the police, but his wife stopped him. After all, it had been so many days since the incident, and the child was taken to his home when it happened. No one would believe him if he told his wife about it. He agreed with his wife on the surface, but Wang Yi felt uncomfortable.
On November 28, Yu Jingwei contacted Wang Yi and said that he was going on a trip and asked him to help look after the dog and just come over to feed it once a day. Wang Yi agreed and went to Yu Jingwei's house that night .
Then he took a telescope and began to observe Chen Zhenya's whereabouts. Knowing that he came back late from fishing and that no one lived upstairs, he also peeked at him entering the door password. On the evening of December 1, after get off work, he sneaked into the deceased's home.
When the deceased returned home and took off his coat, Wang Yi, who was hiding in the second bedroom, rushed out and strangled the old man's neck. The old man thought he was a thief and said he would give him money if he let him go, one or two million would be fine. Wang Yi cursed and tightened the nylon rope.
After strangling the man to death, he chopped the man's face with a kitchen knife from the victim's home, then closed the door and left. Two days later, he felt that this was not the right way to deal with it, and it would be safer to throw the body into the river.
So in the early morning of December 4, he returned to the scene, packed up the bodies, and transported them back to Yu Jingwei's home, but he didn't expect Song Luqing to find cigarettes and disrupt his plan."
After hearing these words, Zhou Ning sighed and threw a cigarette to Zhao Xinli. The two of them just smoked without saying anything else.
Zhou Ning recalled what Zhao Xinli had said and suddenly stopped smoking.
Zhao Xinli looked up at Zhou Ning and raised his hand to stop him.
"No, don't say that Chen Zhenya deserved to die. We all know that he deserved to die, but Wang Yi violated the law. This is not for us to decide. We should prepare the evidence, especially the rice liquid you found and the transcript of the fat aunt. It can be regarded as an indirect proof."
Zhou Ning shook his head and patted the fat man on the shoulder.
"Don't interrupt me, that's not what I want to talk about. When Chen Zhenya was being strangled, the first thing he thought of was to give money to Wang Yi, right? He asked for one or two million yuan?"
Zhao Xinli was stunned for a moment, then nodded, and then looked confused.
"what do you mean?"
"It's nothing. This person is a retired employee of the Finance Bureau. The bureau said it was because Chen Zhenya was dishonest with a female colleague. I think it's not just that. Even though he's dead, we can still check his financial income.
After all, supporting a child studying and living abroad is very expensive, even for a civil servant. Besides, it is difficult for him to support the family with just his normal income.”
Zhao Xinli thought about it and frowned slightly.
"You mean, he's a corrupt official? But this is an economic case... Wait, do you want to help Wang Yi from this perspective?"
Zhou Ning shook his head.
"I just think it's okay to do it while mowing the grass and hunting rabbits. It just needs to be checked by the economic investigation. I think Xu Da is willing to do such a thing."
Zhao Xinyi nodded vigorously. Zhou Ning was smart and he agreed with this point. Such a scumbag really couldn't die so 'quietly'. People had to know what kind of person he was.
"I'll go talk to Xu Da."
Zhou Ning raised his hand to stop Zhao Xinli.
"Don't worry. If the family of the girl that the fat aunt mentioned can come forward to testify, it will be beneficial to Wang Yi's trial. After all, the person is dead, and they have nothing to worry about. This is all we can do."
Zhao Xinli sighed and went out. Liu Yongxin looked at Zhou Ning at the door and walked in with a smile. Obviously, Liu Yongxin heard all the words that came after that. Zhou Ning lowered his head slightly. As a forensic doctor, he shouldn't give more opinions.
But Liu Yongxin didn't say anything else. He walked up to Zhou Ning and patted him on the shoulder.
"You have done a good job. I think Wang Yi will thank you. As a father, he knew the result when he took this step. Otherwise, he would not have confessed so readily after being arrested."
Zhou Ning shook his head.
"I don't want Wang Yi to thank me. I just hope that when Wang Xinyi grows up, she won't be criticized by others. After all, she is only eight years old. I will always remember the innocent smile on that little girl's face."
Liu Yongxin put away his smile and sighed.
"I've said before, in our line of work, what we see most every day is the worst side of human nature. Don't let the case affect you. After all, this is just the beginning of your career. By the way, have you ignored Dr. Lu recently?"
Zhou Ning was stunned. Liu Yongxin's turn was too sudden, which made him pause for a moment. But after thinking about it, it seemed that he really hadn't contacted Dr. Lu recently. He did leave him messages on QQ several times.
"No, I was busy learning painting with Teacher Xia a few days ago, and then I was busy with this case. Why did Dr. Lu look for Xu Da?"
Liu Yongxin waved his hand, pointed at his phone and said:
"Dr. Lu called me. It was on the 10th when we went to the scene. You went upstairs to investigate and your phone was turned off, so he called me. When I asked the Municipal Bureau's Inspection Center for help this time, someone asked me about your situation. It seems that the article in that journal caught their attention. You have become famous."
Zhou Ning was a little surprised. After all, those who have worked on these papers know that some academic papers published in journals are basically for evaluation and professional titles. There is not much real weight in them, and few people read them carefully. It seems that this forensic medicine journal is quite different.
Thinking about the portrait restoration technology he got last time, Zhou Ning pondered for a moment. There was no problem with this technology, but how many skulls could be restored by one person?
Now is the era of new technology. I have heard that some people abroad have researched related software, but I have not heard of any practical application. This is a good direction, but I still need to develop my own abilities.
Liu Yongxin poked Zhou Ning's arm and looked at him in confusion.
"Hey, what are you thinking about? Did you hear me? Tell me what you've been working on lately. When you don't have any cases, you're always typing away in front of your computer. Can you tell me something?"
