Chapter 1271: A lonely figure
“Hmm…There are basically no more problems!” After coming out of the interrogation room, Zhao Yu said to the criminal Police captain,”but I also need all the videos of the interrogation, as well as the trial records of your police force, and the forensic evidence of the forensics team.”
“Oh …” The criminal Police captain didn’t expect Zhao Yu to be so strict, so he quickly nodded and agreed.”Okay!” I’ll inform them to get it done. Um … Do you want to take it back to the hotel, or …”
“How can we bring such an important thing back to the hotel?” Zhao Yu said seriously,”just give us a clean office!”
“Oh … Alright, alright!” The captain of the criminal Police team hurriedly agreed.
“One more thing …” Zhao Yu said.”In the next few days, keep your distance from the media! After we’ve finished the investigation and submitted it, the criminal Division will arrange a formal press conference!
“After all, the Huayun mountain case has a serious impact. In addition to taking care of the domestic public’s mood, we also have to take into account the foreign public opinion. So, we have to be well prepared in order to …”
As they spoke, the three of them walked along the corridor. Before Zhao Yu could finish his sentence, he suddenly saw an old man, who was not wearing a police uniform, sitting on the long bench outside the monitoring room.
It was a woman in her 60s. She was dressed in black silk clothes, her figure was thin, and her face was Haggard.
Seeing the old man, Zhao Yu suddenly stopped and looked a little surprised. Under such circ.u.mstances, there should not be any outsiders outside the interrogation room where the Huayun mountain criminals were held.
“Oh … Oh …” The captain of the criminal Police team hurried forward and greeted the woman.”Auntie, you’re here!” Didn’t I ask Xiao Zhao to accompany you? Where is she?”
“Oh …” The woman quickly stood up and said very politely,”h.e.l.lo, Captain MA. I saw that you were so busy, so I let Xiao Zhao do her work!” Although I’m alone, I can still take care of myself!”
“I see!” The captain of the criminal Police quickly pointed at her and introduced her to Zhao Yu and su lingyue,”leaders, this is Ji Kai’s mother, Ms. Shen Shuwen!”
“Oh …” Zhao Yu finally understood why there was such an “outsider” here. It turned out that she was the victim’s family.
“Police officers, you’ve worked hard for our family’s case!” Mrs. Shen greeted Zhao Yu politely.
Although it was only a brief greeting, Zhao Yu could tell from her speech and behavior that Ji Kai’s mother was a very cultured person.
“h.e.l.lo, Auntie!” Miao Ying saw that the old man’s eyes were red and swollen, and his face was Haggard. She suddenly felt a sense of sympathy for him, so she quickly and politely asked,”you … You came alone?”
“En!” Madam Shen sighed,”something happened to my children and my wife left me a few years ago! I’m all alone now …”
“I see …” Miao Ying realized that her words might have hurt the other party’s sore spot. She suddenly looked guilty and did not know how to comfort him.
“But, don’t worry …” Madam Shen said sincerely,”my niece is on her way here!” Officer, you’re all busy, don’t … Don’t worry about me! Hurry up and get busy!”
“This …” Looking at the lonely old man and thinking of the tragedy that had happened to him, the three of them felt bad.
“Um … Aunty, about the interrogation record …” The captain said.”It’s not that I don’t want to show it to you, I’m just worried that after you read it, it will bring back those bad memories and you won’t be able to bear it!” There’s no one to accompany you, this … How can this be!”
“Captain MA, you don’t have to worry about me,” Madam Shen said seriously.”My tears have long run dry! It’s been nine years. I’m glad I can still see the moment the murderer is caught!
“So, please, let me see the interrogation record! Let me know what happened that night …”
“This … This …” Captain MA was obviously in a difficult position.
“Captain MA!” Miao Ying said,”according to the regulations, except for special reasons, the victim’s family has the right to know the truth of the case. Let Auntie take a look!”
“Like this!” She immediately stood beside the old man and held his arm.”Let me accompany you, Auntie!”
“No, there’s really no need!” The old man quickly waved his hand.”I don’t want to give you trouble!”
“It’s okay, my job is done!” Miao Ying said enthusiastically,”come on, I’ll go with you!”
“Well …” Captain MA didn’t waste any more time.”Okay, please wait a moment. I’ll get someone to arrange it and find a suitable place!”
“How about this …” Miao Ying pointed to the monitoring room.”This will do! We will be waiting for you here! Zhao Yu, you go and do your work!”
Seeing that Miao Ying was so active, Zhao Yu didn’t say anything, so he followed Captain MA to another office to start organizing and supervising his work.
Although Zhao Yu had basically understood the case through the interrogation of the criminals, he still read through the information very carefully, not wanting to miss any suspicious points.
He had checked the entire process from the criminal turning himself in to the confession of the case, but he did not find anything suspicious.
Hmm …
He took out his notebook and made some notes.
He wondered if he should make a trip to Weizhou the next day to find out more about the three of them.
If there weren’t any more problems, his supervision work could almost be finished!
In that case, the Huayun mountain ma.s.sacre case could be closed!
Just as Zhao Yu was sorting out the information, Miao Ying finally returned.
“How is it? Is the old man alright?” Seeing Miao Ying, Zhao Yu asked her out of concern.
“The old man is really strong! Although I couldn’t help but cry when I saw the incident, it’s still better!” Miao Ying saw that there was no one around, so she held Zhao Yu’s arm and sighed.”Poor thing! If it wasn’t for those three d.a.m.ned murderers, the old man would be enjoying his family life right now!
“But now, every time I see her lonely back, I feel terrible!” Miao Ying said sadly,”why is there such a cruel sin in this world? It’s so unfair …”
“Don’t think too much!” Zhao Yu patted the Beauty’s shoulder and comforted her,”life is unpredictable. There are many things that can’t be controlled by human will!”
“Ji Kai’s mother was a reporter,” Miao Ying said.”No wonder I felt that her name was familiar from the beginning. She used to write many well-known articles, so she was very famous!
“AI! I really didn’t expect that this kind of misfortune would befall her …”
“Oh … So you’re a reporter!” Zhao Yu nodded slightly and said thoughtfully,”no wonder Captain MA refused to let her see the case file! If Shen Shuwen were to report about the Huayun mountain case, then it’s very likely to influence the orientation of public opinion. By then, it might have a certain impact on the trial of the case!”
“Oh? Shouldn’t it be like this?” Miao Ying said indignantly,”my son, daughter-in-law, grandson, and granddaughter were all killed by the murderer! He didn’t even allow the person involved to express his opinion and relieve his grief and anger? What kind of logic is that!”
“But … The murderer turned himself in after all …” Zhao Yu said, embarra.s.sed.
“So what if I turn myself in? Can surrendering themselves erase their crime of murder?” Miss Miao was angry.”Zhao Yu, don’t you always say that you must pay for your debts and that you must pay with your life for killing? Don’t you think that those three people should be sentenced to death? to pay with their lives to comfort the victims?”
“I don’t know …”
Zhao Yu shook his head indifferently. In a trance, he seemed to have returned to the time when he solved the lost hand case, when he faced li dan. He was even more confused about the values behind the case, and could not make a judgment.
