Chapter 563: Qingshi Case Closed
After listening to all the recordings, Chen Yi realized that the case had come to a complete end.
The recordings were supporting evidence and also important evidence for getting Guan Xinmei's confession. With both witnesses and evidence, she could no longer make any excuses or fabricate any lies.
The source of the tragedy was Fu Peilan, and the fuse was Qingshi.
Without Fu Peilan, Guan Xinmei would not have killed people in Qingshi, and without Qingshi, Guan Xinmei would not have made her first kill.
Everything was destined.
In this case, most of the victims were more or less at fault. The only truly innocent ones were probably Xu Chaoyue and Du Xun.
Regarding Xu Chaoyue's affairs, we need to hear what Guan Xinmei herself has to say.
Leaving the office, Chen Yi entered the interrogation room.
Guan Xinmei sat there in handcuffs. After Chen Yi came in, she looked up at him expressionlessly.
There was no opening speech or "warm-up". All the evidence was placed in front of Guan Xinmei, and the recordings echoed in her ears.
"Heh."
Halfway through, Guan Xinmei chuckled, with a strong sense of sarcasm on her raised mouth.
I don't know whether she was mocking the police, Kou Chaoyi, or the victim, or even herself.
Chen Yi leaned against the wall and looked at her, saying, "I sympathize with your experience, but you have killed too many people. I won't comment on Sun Menglan, Fu Peilan, and Xu Chaoyue's mother, but Xu Chaoyue and Du Xun have never offended you."
When mentioning Xu Chaoyue, Guan Xinmei's smile was restrained and she slowly closed her eyes.
It can be seen that she should have feelings for Xu Chaoyue. A girl with such an experience as her will no longer have a sense of trust in anyone unless there is a budding of love.
"Tell me about him." Chen Yi said.
Xu Chaoyue is the starting point of the interrogation.
Guan Xinmei's eyes did not open, and her memories came to a few years ago, when she and Xu Chaoyue first met.
Xu Chaoyue is younger than Guan Xinmei, and the two are in a sister-brother relationship. Chen Yi didn't expect that the burst of feelings was because of the hero saving the beauty, which is quite bloody.
At that time, Sun Menglan was still there, and Guan Xinmei, like other students, was under the shadow of the student union.
When Guan Xinmei was bullied, Xu Chaoyue stepped forward to help her, but he was beaten by the student union.
Since then, the two have known each other and quickly became familiar with each other.
Xu Chaoyue is a warm man, who made Guan Xinmei feel the warmth she had never felt before. Her broken heart gradually began to recover and she forgot the darkness she had encountered.
"Will you be my girlfriend?"
This is the first time in a teenager's life that he mustered up the courage to express his true feelings.
Maybe it's not the last time, but the first time is always the purest, without any desire or interest.
"I do."
This is the first time in a girl's life that she accepted a boy's confession.
Maybe it's not the last time, but the first time is always the most heart-warming and the most yearning, full of expectations for the future.
Chen Yi listened silently, and the police officer in charge of recording recorded the whole process without missing a word.
Every bit of learning and every bit of life is very beautiful.
There is no early or late love. It is the most beautiful encounter in life, not bound or restricted by time and space.
Everyone's emotional trajectory is unique. Some people may meet the person who makes their heart beat when they are young, while others may meet true love after experiencing more life experiences.
Early love can make people feel the passion and innocence of youth, while late love is more mature.
There is a difference, but it is definitely not the difference between early and late.
Chen Yi looked at Guan Xinmei from time to time. At this moment, the other party's face finally had a happy smile that a normal girl should have, until... came to Sun Menglan's death.
"She beat me, I can still bear it, but she also likes Xu Chaoyue, I can't bear it, that is the last straw that broke the camel's back."
Hearing this, Chen Yi was slightly stunned.
Sun Menglan likes Xu Chaoyue?
Kou Chaoyi did not say this, which means Guan Xinmei never mentioned it to Kou Chaoyi. She just mentioned that she killed Sun Menglan because she was bullied and accidentally killed someone.
So that's it.
Sun Menglan chased Guan Xinmei to the dormitory to teach her a lesson. There were other reasons behind this targeting.
"I didn't mean to kill him..."
Guan Xinmei's voice was filled with tears, and tears could be seen falling from the corners of her eyes.
Chen Yi did not interrupt, and the other party's memories should have come to the grove.
"Guan Guan, you have become the same as them, right? Kang Qin has to listen to you, right?"
Under the dim moonlight, Xu Chaoyue questioned Guan Xinmei, who bowed her head and remained silent.
At this point in time, Fu Peilan was already dead, and Guan Xinmei was no longer the Guan Xinmei she used to be.
Two lives were enough to completely change a person, causing Guan Xinmei's already twisted and dark heart to explode, and even the purest love was powerless to change it.
"Answer me!!"
"Answer me!"
Xu Chaoyue kept asking, even though he already had the answer in his heart, he wanted to hear Guan Xinmei say it herself.
"Are you still the gentle and quiet Guan Xinmei?"
This made Guan Xinmei look up, the moonlight splashed over her, and there seemed to be a cold light in her pupils: "In Qingshi, gentleness and quietness cannot survive."
"Cannot survive?" The disguised admission made Xu Chaoyue emotional, "What do you mean by cannot survive! What about me? Am I not living well? Aren't they living well? How can they not survive!"
It is incomprehensible that a boy like Xu Chaoyue, with such a good character and outstanding values, would be sent to Qingshi by his family.
Maybe he is too playful and doesn't study hard.
Having a good personality doesn’t mean you can resist the temptation of entertainment, nor does it mean you are good at studying.
“You don’t understand.” Guan Xinmei said.
Xu Chaoyue said angrily: “Yes, I don’t understand. I don’t understand what you and Principal Kou were doing that night. I don’t understand who you put in the car. Your mother came that day. Was it her?”
Guan Xinmei’s face changed: “You are monitoring me?”
Xu Chaoyue: “How can I not monitor you? You are so close to Principal Kou, and you won’t tell me even if I ask you!”
The scene described ends here. Guan Xinmei raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her face, causing the handcuffs to rustle.
Chen Yi: "Then what?"
Guan Xinmei said: "He persuaded me to change, persuaded me to leave Qingshi, persuaded me to go to the Education Bureau with him to report, and also... persuaded me to surrender."
Chen Yi: "In other words, he was the only student in the school who dared to speak out, but because of you, it was put on hold for a long time."
Guan Xinmei: "Yes."
Chen Yi: "In the end, you killed him."
Guan Xinmei: "Yes."
Chen Yi sighed. This was the most regrettable victim in this case. He was positive from beginning to end and never had any bad intentions towards Guan Xinmei, but ended up dead in the end.
He died at the hands of his first love.
"Tell me the name of the man who took you away for three days and three nights."
This made Guan Xinmei tremble like a conditioned reflex, and a rare flash of fear flashed across her expression.
Devils also have weaknesses and have past events that they don't want to recall.
There is no such thing as a born devil.
"I... I don't know the name." Guan Xinmei shook her head.
Chen Yi: "You remember his appearance, right?"
Guan Xinmei was silent for a moment, and said coldly: "I will never forget it in this life."
Chen Yi felt that the police had saved the man's life this time.
If Guan Xinmei is given a chance in the future, she will probably die miserably, far more miserably than Sun Menglan and the other five.
And she herself will also complete six kills.
The interrogation continued, and Guan Xinmei confessed everything. Qingshi was no longer a school for her, but a modern feudal kingdom.
Everyone was under control.
She liked this sense of control, so she did not leave after the college entrance examination and chose to stay.
Finally, Lin Chen came in and drew a portrait of the last suspect, with a high accuracy rate. The computer search quickly locked the identity.
A very ordinary person, a department manager of a company.
Zhuo Yun led the team to set off immediately, and when the other party just arrived at the company and was ready to go to work, he was copied back.
In the interrogation room, the man confessed what he had done that year and took Guan Xinmei away at a price of 10,000 a day.
What awaits him will be a fixed-term imprisonment of more than five years.
This incident left a huge psychological shadow on Guan Xinmei, and she will never be able to let it go for the rest of her life, but she may not be able to finish her life.
For such a vicious serial murder, the probability of death is very high. It cannot be said that you have psychological problems, unless it is mental.
The entire criminal investigation detachment sighed at the final result of the case. They thought it would end with Kou Chaoyi, but they didn't expect it to be reversed to the original victim Guan Xinmei.
Everyone felt both illusory and chilling.
Chen Yi personally went to the provincial department to report the details of the case. After discussion, the provincial department decided to keep it strictly confidential and not make it public for a long time in the future.
The nature is too bad, and it will also have a bad impact on other students in Qingshi.
Living with a murderer all day, timid students will have psychological problems after learning about this.
Chen Yi did not go back for lunch, and chose to solve it in the provincial department. He was the deputy chief of the criminal investigation of the provincial department.
With Fang Songping.
The father-in-law and son-in-law ate canteen food in the office, which was very warm.
"If the psychologist hadn't told you that Guan Xinmei had a problem, would this case really have been closed by Kou Chaoyi?" Fang Songping chatted while eating.
Chen Yi took a sip of water and said, "Maybe. I didn't realize Guan Xinmei was involved in the case at that time. However, Kou Chaoyi's confession is questionable, especially the motive for committing the crime, which lacks sufficient rationality.
Sun Menglan and the other four are fine, but Du Xun's death is incomprehensible. I originally planned to find the murder weapon and investigate Kou Chaoyi's past, but I didn't find the murder weapon and got stuck there."
Fang Songping nodded: "Any criminal policeman who encounters this case will end it after finding Kou Chaoyi. This is not a problem of ability. Taking the blame is the most troublesome, and the murder process he confessed is completely consistent with the scene.
You just said to investigate Kou Chaoyi's past. Do you mean psychological motivation?"
Chen Yi: "Yes, Kou Chaoyi killed Du Xun just for the sake of killing, similar to antisocial personality. I need to determine whether he has been stimulated. Now it seems that if I really go to investigate, it should be a fruitless result.
At that time, I have to think carefully about whether there is a problem."
He was chatting with Fang Songping to review and self-examine, rather than finding excuses for his omissions.
Doing more hypothetical reviews will be helpful for future investigations. If you encounter similar or similar situations again, you need to be cautious to prevent the occurrence of false and wrongful convictions.
Fang Songping: "If you suspect that something went wrong, it's hard to associate it with Guan Xinmei, right?"
Chen Yi: "It's good to have one point. Professor Liu gave me this point. If she didn't give it, I believe I can find it myself."
Fang Songping: "For example?"
Chen Yi: "For example, Kang Qin, Director Shen of the Education Bureau said that Qingshi has not changed after rectification, and the bullying behavior has intensified. After implementation, Kang Qin will inevitably be investigated and interrogated.
From her mouth, perhaps Guan Xinmei's situation will come out.
I admit that the direction of this case was deviated at the beginning, but I still firmly believe that the truth will not be buried as long as you are sharp enough.
Although failure is the mother of success, the criminal police profession does not allow failure. Failure is a fatal blow to the victim. I hope that all criminal police will never have the experience of failure. "
Fang Songping smiled and said: "This sentence is quite high. What do you think after the term of office is over next year?"
Chen Yi finished eating and wiped his mouth with a tissue: "Isn't it normal to stay in office?"
Fang Songping: "Remaining in the provincial department and detachment leader, isn't the pressure too great? How about temporarily handing the detachment to He Shixin? In Dongzhou, he should be considered the elite of the police force second only to you."
He Shixin is only a few years older than Chen Yi. He was promoted to deputy detachment leader of the criminal investigation detachment like Chen Yi, and he can be called young in the whole country.
Chen Yi: "That won't work."
Fang Songping is an old fox and has long seen through Chen Yi's thoughts: "You want to keep him by your side, right? Take him with you when you go to the Imperial City in the future? "
Chen Yi denied: "I didn't say that."
Fang Songping reminded: "Be careful, don't pull the mountain head."
As a father-in-law, he can say some things more seriously.
In the officialdom, he has walked more roads than Chen Yi has crossed bridges.
Chen Yi took out a cigarette and flicked it upside down, and said with a smile: "Dad, if there really is such a day, it's not a bad thing. The solid city wall needs to concentrate elite forces to attack a little. What I want is the actual effect, not the human relationship.
With the Fang family and grandpa, sometimes you can actually do a little too much. "
Fang Songping thought about Chen Yi's words and finally nodded: "That makes sense. Do you want to hear what I talked about with He Shirong?"
"Oh? "
Chen Yi perked up and took the unlit cigarette out of his mouth.
After returning from Sendong Island, Fang Songping said he would have a discussion with He Shirong. He has been busy with Qingshi's affairs these days and almost forgot about it.
Fang Songping said: "He wants to bring you into the Criminal Investigation Bureau, grant you the rank of Second-Class Police Commissioner, and entrust you with important tasks within three years. "
Chen Yi raised his eyebrows.
It's quite sincere.
Second-level police commissioner is a professional and technical title in the public security organs, usually awarded to those who have rich experience and professional skills in public security work.
Although it is not a management position, it is not a nominal position, and it has practical significance and role.
Level deputy director.
Currently, police commissioners in the domestic police force are usually responsible for handling complex cases, guiding young police officers and participating in the formulation of police strategies.
The requirements are very high. In addition to professional skills, they must also have leadership and teamwork capabilities, because they may be sent to the front line at any time to participate in or even promote various investigations and crackdowns not limited to criminal crimes.
Second-level police commissioner can be awarded by the provincial department, but if Chen Yi wants to make it in Yangcheng, he may have to wait for many years.
"What do you think?" Fang Songping asked.
Chen Yi said: "Dad, didn't you just say that I was too young? And what about waiting for Shuyu to get pregnant. "
Fang Songping was puzzled: "Did I say that? When? "
Chen Yi was speechless. You have changed so quickly. It has not even been a month.
No need to think about it. He Shirong might have said something to him on the phone. Both parties have reached an agreement on something.
