Chapter 52: The Underworld

"This..." Jiang Yuan didn't know how to comfort people, and was even more shocked by Wei Zhenguo's words.

The case of Ding Lan's disappearance had just been completed, and a body had been dug out. Wei Zhenguo now mentioned his wife's disappearance, which easily made people think in a bad direction.

Wei Zhenguo lit a cigarette, and smoked until the smoke was thick, and then said: "I went on a business trip, and when I came back, I couldn't find anyone. The phone was not connected, and there was no news. Team Huang and others also helped to look for her, but there was no result. The clues left... can't be said to be any clues... Haha, I'll ask forensic doctor Jiang to take a look later."

"Okay... okay." Jiang Yuan didn't dare to say what he could do. The criminal police's wife was missing, and the bureau must have mobilized a lot of forces to search for her. If they still couldn't find her, then it was not a problem that could be solved by big talk.

"Let's go, go to the hotel and have a sleep, there will be work tomorrow." Wei Zhenguo was just trying to get rid of his emotions, not expecting Jiang Yuan to help. Jiang Yuan stands out in the criminal squadron of Ningtai County, but in Changyang City, his height is not so obvious. There are many technical experts in the municipal bureau and provincial department. Huang Qiangmin was invited in the past, but there was still no clue.

As a criminal policeman, Wei Zhenguo actually knows clearly that some cases cannot be solved, and some cases are solved by luck.

Like in TV dramas, a case happens, and the forces of all parties are gathered instantly to get to the essence of the case... Speaking of it, this is indeed the best procedure and way to solve the case. But in reality, some cases will not be discovered immediately when they happen, and they will not be taken seriously immediately when they are discovered. Even if they are taken seriously, various mistakes will often occur...

Even Wei Zhenguo himself, when he couldn't find his wife, didn't think of reporting the case and preserving evidence at the first time. Even if he is a criminal policeman, he would not think that a major case that would affect the whole family would happen around him at the first time.

Wei Zhenguo started the car lightly and drove back to the hotel.

Several people returned one after another. Although they had a lot to say, they chose to sleep first.

Jiang Yuan was no exception. With so many things on his mind, he still couldn't resist the sleepiness. He slept until the next day before he woke up.

The next day.

Noon.

The sun rose, the sun was bright, and everywhere was warm.

In the small lobby of the small hotel, most of the people checking in and out were relaxed, and many of them had smiles on their faces, indicating that they had a good night last night.

The green ivy on the small coffee table was also juicy and green, and it looked like it had been taken care of by many people.

Several criminal police who had just been shrouded in the shadow of society were suddenly shrouded in the sunshine of society. For a while, they were a little uncomfortable.

"It feels like I went to the underworld to fight and returned to the world of the living." Mu Zhiyang took a bottle of Pulse and drank it with relish.

Wei Zhenguo stretched and said, "At most, we went to the underworld to do odd jobs."

"It seems so. We only arrested Tan Yong."

"There are too many of these ghost things." Wei Zhenguo said and sighed.

Mu Zhiyang knew why his master was depressed, and hurriedly asked: "By the way, has Tan Yong died?"

Wei Zhenguo said "yeah", and said: "He died. I'll go over and take over."

"It's good that he died." Everyone was very happy. The days of squatting were so hard, but there was finally some results.

As they talked, several people went out and found a small restaurant to sit down.

Jiang Yuan sat down and asked by the way: "What was Tan Yong's initial motive for committing the crime? Was it to pursue Ding Lan? Or what?"

This was an answer that the evidence could not provide, and Jiang Yuan was also a little curious.

"It's about the same. Ding Lan likes handsome guys... the word Xiaomu said..." Wei Zhenguo patted his head and forgot the word.

"Face dog." Mu Zhiyang added.

"Yes, that's it." Wei Zhenguo said, "She changes boyfriends very quickly, and she probably has one-night stands often, but she always asks for the guy who loves her face..."

Mu Zhiyang said softly, "Master, that's not how you use this word."

"In short, Tan Yong saw Ding Lan changing boyfriends so frequently, and he became lustful." Wei Zhenguo lit up a cigarette and started puffing smoke: "According to his account, he gave Ding Lan a gift once, but was rejected, and invited her to dinner, but was also rejected. Then, Tan Yong had other ideas."

The other criminal police saw Wei Zhenguo smoking, and they all reached out for cigarettes... They took all the cigarettes from Wei Zhenguo's hand and started puffing smoke.

Jiang Yuan silently took out a box of Zhonghua from his pocket and threw it on the table. He didn't smoke, but he had money.

Mu Zhiyang unceremoniously tore open Jiang Yuan's Zhonghua cigarette, handed it to Wei Zhenguo first, and said, "Master, please continue."

"In the end, it should be that he met Ding Lan on the road, and Tan Yong stopped her. The two of them had a disagreement, and Tan Yong beat her. Later, he forced her into his car." Wei Zhenguo sighed and said, "Tan Yong said that he originally wanted to throw Ding Lan to the side of the highway to scare her, but he couldn't help but raped her."

Several people listened silently, and no one was interested in commenting.

"That house was originally a house for mortgage that Tan Yong got in his early years. Later, due to the purchase restriction, it was registered in the name of a distant relative in his village. He brought Ding Lan there, and initially planned to kill and bury the body. Later... It is said that at Ding Lan's pleading, he decided to dig a basement, and Ding Lan also helped dig the basement." Wei Zhenguo shook his head and said: "Later, the three women were prostitutes, including the dead one. After being deceived by Tan Yong to play with them, they also dug a basement. If he didn't catch anyone this time, he might kidnap people and expand the basement."

"Did Tan Yong kill the dead woman? Because she was disobedient?" Mu Zhiyang asked.

"Tan Yong didn't admit it. He just said that he saw someone dead when he went there one day. He didn't ask in detail, and he couldn't get any information. However, this answer may not pass the test." Wei Zhenguo said.

Mu Zhiyang said disdainfully: "If he said he didn't kill the person, then he didn't kill the person? The basement is full of evidence against him."

"The higher-ups definitely want to make it an ironclad case, so getting a confession is still very important. Of course, Tan Yong doesn't admit it, mainly because he doesn't want to die." Wei Zhenguo took a deep puff of cigarette.

In this land, confessions are always more important than physical evidence, especially outside the judicial system. When a murderer keeps repeating "I'm innocent", even if all the evidence points to him, in the eyes of many people, convicting him, especially when it comes to the death penalty, is still imperfect.

For criminal police, getting a confession and convincing the suspect is also a crucial link, and as long as it can be achieved, they are still inclined to do so.

Mu Zhiyang curled his lips and said, "Why is he still alive?"

"Who knows. But if he escapes from the murder case, there is a relatively high probability that he will be sentenced to suspended death penalty." Wei Zhenguo said here, and seeing the dishes coming up, he simply waved his hand: "Let's eat, let's not talk about them. Later, I heard that the provincial department will send people over, so go back and clean up."

"Provincial department?" Jiang Yuan was a little confused.

The name of the provincial department sounds very big, but in fact there are not many staff. Ordinary murders are not the province's turn to pay attention. Of course, this case has a great influence, but it is over, and the remaining case handling links are at best useless.

Unless...

Jiang Yuan guessed: "Did they find out something new during the trial?"

"Maybe." Wei Zhenguo acquiesced and said: "It is impossible for the people in the underworld to always abide by the law."
