33. The Best Brother in the World
Li Yi was the leader of this assault, and he was also a battle-hardened expert in solving crimes.
When he led his men into Wude Village and controlled the villagers who were still sleeping, the crime scene of the Lin family had not been processed yet. After fermenting for most of the night, the bloody smell and corruption in the house became heavier. The scene was so tragic that even Li Yi couldn't help but frown.
What kind of hatred could make one person hack five other people like this? The other five dead were also men, so why couldn't they beat the murderer alone?
Maybe it was a group fight at the beginning? Li Yi thought it was better not to draw conclusions before interrogating the murderer and witnesses.
In fact, he had read the crazy post on the Internet before he came. He didn't know who the person who posted the post was. The most powerful network expert in the police force couldn't find the IP of the poster, but one thing was certain, the other party was on this mountain and had a deep hatred with the people in this village.
He was also very angry when he read this post. As a policeman, he always took justice as his motto and firmly believed in the correctness of the law. However, after listening to the description of this post and the miserable life of the girl who was abducted to the mountains, even he had the urge to kill everyone in the village.
He restrained his temper and waited in the Lin family's yard for his men to bring everyone in the village.
"She's here for revenge, she's here for revenge."
The first person to be brought over was naturally Lin Youde, who was locked in the next room. At this moment, he seemed to be completely insane, and kept repeating a sentence in his mouth.
"Who's here for revenge?" Li Yi's eyebrows jumped, and he intuitively felt that the murderer's he (she) might be the key to the problem.
"Who?"
Lin Youde lowered his head and huddled into a ball, just when Li Yi approached him.
"Ghost!" He laughed, his face was covered with blood and broken meat, just like an evil ghost, his mouth was wide open, his eyes were full of bloodshot, and he suddenly looked up.
The sudden action scared the timid policewomen nearby and they looked around quickly. Seeing nothing, they slowed down their heartbeats.
Li Yi's stress resistance is obviously better than these young policewomen. At this time, he has basically determined that Lin Youde is playing mad and stupid. There are no ghosts in this world. As a firm materialist, Li Yi has seen these people who play mad and stupid after committing crimes and try to evade legal accountability by such behavior.
Lin Youde's acting skills are obviously better than those people. He almost scared Li Yi, but this does not mean that he will be led astray by him and really believe that the tragic situation in the house is caused by ghosts.
"Captain, everyone in the village has been brought here. We have checked their identities. The dead in the house are Zhang Fugui and his three sons, and Lin Youcai, the murderer's younger brother."
"In addition, there are thirteen women in the village who are not on the population registration form, and eight outside men. After interrogation, seven of the eight men are roving human traffickers. The trafficker leader, Lai San, tried to take hostages and escape, but was shot in the right leg by our police officers. Now he has been given a simple bandage and has been detained. The thirteen women are confirmed to be trafficked women, five of whom were just sent here today, and the other eight women were sent here in the past ten years. According to inquiries, there are five other women besides them. Four women committed suicide, and one woman broke into the back mountain while fleeing and was attacked and killed by a wild beast. Our people have gone to the back mountain to look for the bodies of the victims."
Even though they were mentally prepared, the police officers present couldn't help but lament for those poor girls, especially the five girls who died in their prime.
Some of the people who followed and tried to find their daughters almost fell to the ground with weak legs. They were so scared that one of the five dead girls was their child.
The women who came with hope, the weaker ones, had already started crying, grabbing everything they could grab and hitting the controlled traffickers and villagers.
Those people wanted to resist, but they were controlled by the armed team. There were also many armed police with children who came this time. They could understand the feelings of these family members. On the surface, they seemed to be fencing, but in fact they were stopping the villagers and traffickers, so that the out-of-control family members could hit harder.
Although it violated the regulations, who cares about it at this time.
There was no police from Li County present. After all, such a major case happened in the jurisdiction, and the higher-ups had every reason to suspect that the local police station and the lawbreakers were in collusion or deliberately condoned. This time, the police were dispatched from the city and the surrounding areas. They had no understanding of the situation in Li County, and naturally they would not have any empathy for these villagers.
"Eight? Has the identity of the other male outsider been confirmed?"
Li Yi is an old criminal policeman, and he soon discovered that his subordinates had missed a person.
"Another one is a tourist who went up the mountain to watch the sunrise, but was trapped on the mountain by heavy rain. After investigating his identity, he was found to be an ordinary college student on leave, and there was no doubt about it." The young police officer said to the captain while looking at the record.
"You are on leave and still have the mood to watch the sunrise?"
Li Yi looked in the direction of the young police officer's sight and saw Yan Chu standing under the eaves, with no one within three meters. His eyes narrowed. His years of experience in handling cases told him that this person was very problematic.
Some people think intuition is ridiculous, but to the extent of Li Yi, their intuition is often more reliable than anything else.
The young man opposite him looked delicate and weak, but Li Yi saw the hostility and bloodiness that even serial killers did not have in him.
Li Yi immediately decided to conduct a further investigation on Yan Chu.
There were too many suspicious points about him.
"Mom, Dad!"
Several young girls who came from afar originally thought that their lives were ruined, but they did not expect that they were saved and saw their families here. They immediately ran towards them crying.
"Mom, second aunt, third aunt, second uncle, third uncle, where is my dad, why didn't my dad come?" A pretty little girl almost cried into a tearful person. This week was the most terrible week she had ever experienced.
"Your dad is in the hospital. Now that you have found him, your dad will get better soon." A woman who looked to be in her forties or fifties hugged the girl tightly, unwilling to let go, fearing that the child would be gone in the next second.
Those who found their children were naturally happy, and some who did not find their own children hugged each other and cried again.
This experience of giving hope and feeling despair is too painful.
"Yinyin, do you think your brother did the right thing?"
Yan Chu looked at the scene not far away and said softly. To Li Yi, who had been silently watching him on the other side, it was even more strange. Why was he still talking to himself?
The little girl in the soul state could not give Yan Chu an answer. In fact, in the heart of the original body, he also had resentment towards these living girls. They were also children who suffered such hardships. Why did his sister die, but they were alive and well? So when he slaughtered the entire village, he did not let go of those women who were also abducted.
The last time he was soft-hearted was his only failure, because the women in the village had long been numb, and the three girls still had hope in their eyes. He thought that his sister must be the same as them at that time, begging him to appear when she was most afraid.
So he let the three girls go, and he was arrested by the police before the plan was completed.
Although Yan Chu was affected by the original body's monstrous hatred, he still had his own thinking and reason, so he chose to save those girls.
He thought, this is what Yinyin, the kind girl, wanted to see.
Standing beside him, the little girl, who could not be seen by anyone except him, tilted her head, and her terrifying appearance had a hint of innocence.
She felt that the man beside her seemed very sad. She didn't want to make him sad, so she tried to hold his hand like the actions he had done these days. As long as she shook hands, he would be happy.
But she forgot that she couldn't touch the man beside her.
"Good boy, good Yinyin."
Yan Chu took the initiative to hold the little girl beside him. His soul was very happy, and the blood in his eyes flowed more rapidly.
Li Yi looked at Yan Chu's action after talking to himself, and he was even more puzzled.
All the people were taken down the mountain, and some ignorant children were also taken away by the female police to take care of them. The impact of this incident was too bad, and it was not something that could be solved by the four words "no law, no responsibility for the masses".
There were still some police officers on the mountain, responsible for staying behind to survey the scene and finding the bodies of the poor girls who were buried in the mountains.
When the villagers were taken away, they shouted that they were innocent and the police had no right to arrest them. To be honest, there were indeed a few families who had not participated in human trafficking, but at the same time, they also condoned other families in the village to trade women, and helped to catch the kidnapped girls when they escaped. If they were innocent, they were definitely not.
Unfortunately, according to the current laws, these villagers who shouted that they were innocent would be released at most in a few days. In fact, if it were not for the bad impact of this incident, they might not even need a few days.
Even those buyers who participated in human trafficking would not be imprisoned for many years according to the current laws. In addition, the crime of forcing women to have sex with their will would only be ten years at most. The crime was too light. For these poor and remote people, life in prison might not be much different from life at home. It was not a punishment at all.
Several police officers who were familiar with the case handling process had already anticipated the criticism of the government and the law by those netizens on the Internet, but they themselves wanted to let these disgusting people be shot directly.
Legislation is a rigorous work. The reason why the sentencing of human traffickers is low is that they usually have information about human trafficking and most of them have hostages around them when they are arrested.
Once the sentencing of human traffickers is as high as that of drug dealers, the consequence is likely to be a group of armed criminals who will open fire and injure hostages once they are discovered, or other worse consequences.
Therefore, this issue has been mentioned all the time, but it is sad and helpless that the penalties cannot be changed before there is sufficient evidence to guarantee it.
Along the way, except for the cursing voices of those people and the crying of some family members who have not found their children, the case officers were very quiet throughout the whole process.
The police station in Li County was temporarily requisitioned, and the police officers in the original police force were temporarily suspended.
Although Yan Chu had no doubts, as a person who stayed in the village during that time, he was also asked to stay and record his confession before leaving.
He was taken by a female police officer to an empty room with only a table and three chairs. He sat on the side with only one chair. The female police officer gave him a cup of hot tea and told him that police force was in short supply and it might be late for him to give his statement. Then she left.
Yan Chu did not drink the cup of tea. He sat on the chair for one hour, two hours, without changing his posture from beginning to end.
Li Yi looked at the surveillance footage and the documents handed over by the people around him. He had an idea in his mind. He took a few stacks of documents and walked towards the room where Yan Chu was.
"Yan Yin is your sister, right?"
This was the first sentence he said after entering.
