Chapter 13 Three Roses Tattoo (5)
Near midnight, Wang Shiqi opened the door lightly, and found Zheng Yuan was still sitting at the table waiting for him, with his black-backed head resting on his lap for him to scratch, humming comfortably.No one said hello, nor did the dog. Wang Shiqi took off his shoes and entered the house. When he got closer, he saw his gun, six bullets, a kitchen knife, a boning knife, and a Scissors, a little silver light reflected in Zheng Yuan's hand - it was the ring.At that time, Zheng Yuan was both water and oil, and finally faded and returned it to him. He turned his head and threw it away. It took midnight, and he couldn't calm down. He found it again with a flashlight, and it has been up to now.

"If you dare to lock the door, don't be afraid of me rummaging around." Zheng Yuan turned the ring calmly, "By the way, the password of the safe is too easy to guess, I advise you to change it quickly."

Wang Shiqi's back felt cold for a while, he rushed forward and grabbed all the things on the table into his hands, turned around and found no place to put them, finally threw them into the closet, and hurriedly locked it.Zheng Yuan's voice chased after him: "Don't worry, there are ways to die if you really want to die. There is water and electricity, and the gas in your house hasn't been turned off yet."

Wang Shiqi was already in a bad mood, but when he heard this, he jumped up angrily. He turned around and supported Zheng Yuan's wheelchair, and approached him head-on: "Old Zheng, you can't do this."

"Why can't I? You can. You've been busy for the past two days. I'm not here. Wu Hui was interrogated smoothly. How about it? Are the charges charged? The new case and the old case are settled together. Congratulations, isn't it in the credit book?" Do you want to write down a large amount again?"

"Yeah! My trial went well! I'm very happy! What's the matter!" Wang Shiqi's voice also rose, "Xu Ziqian's case was solved! The dismemberment case ten years ago was also solved! Yes, and your wife We fell asleep! She slept with me! She slept with me to hide what happened that night! She figured it out and I can't tell it! She likes women, you know? The woman she likes is also a drug dealer, you know? She married you because you are a bully!"

Zheng Yuan didn't say a word, his eyes were as frightened as a frightened bird, he wanted to hide left and right, but there was nowhere to hide, he could only lower his head deeply.Wang Shiqi stretched out his hand to hold his shoulder, forcing him to continue to face himself: "I know I'm usually not a thing, but I never wanted to hurt you, whoever wants to hurt you, I will fight him hard, do you understand? Xiaoye is good to you , I gave you a home and a son, so I can’t say anything. She’s dead, and you don’t want to live anymore. I still have to investigate this case. Five years, ten years, the boss is about to suspend me I have to investigate, am I doing it for myself? I am doing it to give you an explanation!"

Wang Shiqi's words were hard and sharp, but when thrown to the opposite side, it was like a stone sinking into the sea, without the slightest splash of resistance.He was a little scared, gasped for breath, and hung his heart in vain, until big tears gushed out of Zheng Yuan's eyes and ran across his cheeks.He withdrew his hand like an electric shock and said, "Don't cry, I..."

"I know." Zheng Yuan drooped the corners of his eyes, his voice suppressed in his throat, "I've always known."

Wang Shiqi didn't go deep into what he knew, so he felt even more sad.He is Lao Zheng, a friend who has been with him for more than 20 years. He should not be treated like this. I should have protected him. Who would have thought that one wrong step, one wrong step, has brought him to this situation.

Wang Shiqi straightened up and patted Zheng Yuan on the shoulder: "Go and wash your face first, and get a good night's sleep. This will not happen again in the future, I promise." He opened the bag, and put a document bag and a key into the bag gently. On Zheng Yuan's knee: "Here are all the case materials. I will read them when I get up tomorrow. After that, you have to go, seek death, and kill me. I won't stop you. This is the key to the closet." After he finished speaking, his whole body felt relaxed, It seems to have explained the future in advance.When standing under the nozzle to take a shower, he even hummed a song after a long absence.

Wang Shiqi thought he was dead.

The pillow was loose and the quilt was soft. He got up in the smell of fried eggs and staggered to the living room. The morning news was broadcast on the TV. There was porridge and vegetables on the table. Zheng Yuan sat by the window, licking his fingers. A strip of bacon was fed to his dog, and the sun lightened his hair a little.He looked at the gentle fine lines in the corners of his eyes, and felt in a daze that he must be dead. He was shot and collapsed by Zheng Yuan in his sleep, and he went to heaven, otherwise he couldn't live so well all of a sudden.He didn't wake up until he saw Xu Ye sitting across from him - wait, there is no such wretched person in his paradise.

"Captain Wang." Xu Ye nodded at him, with an unnatural expression on his face, he probably didn't expect Zheng Yuan to open the door for him.Wang Shiqi swayed to the edge of the chair with his eyelids propped up, and just reached out to squeeze a fried dough stick, when Zheng Yuan's voice sounded next to him: "Have you brushed your teeth?"

"……No."

"Go brush your teeth and wash your face first."

Wang Shiqi let out an "oh", stood up again, and swayed into the bathroom.While squeezing the toothpaste, someone was talking outside. He turned the water to the minimum and listened carefully. It was Xu Ye's voice.

"...I know you have good intentions, but after all, you are not a policeman...Wu Hui has already been recruited...Now the case is reopened as a serial murder case."

Unable to hear Zheng Yuan's words, Wang Shiqi turned off the faucet with his toothbrush in his mouth, and simply stuck it to the door.

"... I looked at the police force with the surname Wang, what kind of momentum was it back then, a young talent, now it has been so many years, and he is hanging on this case... You... You have a deeper friendship with him than I do, It seems that the clouds are about to open and the moon is shining, so please help. Let him solve the case smoothly, and the old director can breathe a sigh of relief..."

After a while, Zheng Yuan replied: "I see." Just this sentence, followed by the "buzzing" news broadcast sound on the TV.Wang Shiqi was a little confused, and pressed his ears tighter, and suddenly the door of the bathroom was pulled open.

"Have you heard enough?"

Wang Shiqi was so frightened that he swallowed toothpaste froth.He stood upright, quickly shook his head, rolled his eyes, and nodded again, Zheng Yuan looked too lazy to be familiar with him: "Come out quickly after cleaning, the dishes are cold."

Wang Shiqi walked out of the bathroom again and Xu Ye had already left, leaving only the half-drunk black tea behind.He pushed away the cup and sat down. Zheng Yuan handed over a bowl: "While it's hot." He lowered his head to drink the porridge, but glanced at the opposite side from the corner of his eyes. seen it already.

"Just say what you want, don't be sneaky." Zheng Yuan slowly picked up his cup and took a sip of coffee, "Want to hear my opinion?"

Wang Shiqi nodded quickly, and Zheng Yuan tapped the thick stack of records below with his fingers, saying: "If Wu Hui needs to be convicted, these should not be enough." He picked out a few pages and laid them out in the middle of the table: There is no murder weapon, no eyewitnesses, only his own confession, if you want to convince the public, you need key evidence."

"You..." Wang Shiqi looked at him cautiously, "You don't object anymore?"

"You have your reasons for finding him, and it's not a bad thing to follow your train of thought before finding evidence to support my argument." Zheng Yuan leaned back in the chair, crossed his fingers on his chin, and his gaze recovered Sharp and measured: "But I won't stop contradicting you. Ready?"

Wang Shiqi sat up straight unconsciously.

"The first doubtful point: You said that the commonality of the three victims is the rose tattoo on the back waist, but this pattern itself is very common and is easily chosen by women, especially some practitioners in the customs industry. These women usually live in Gray area, maybe even the name and identity are false, no one will care even if they disappear and die, if the murderer has a preference for women with rose tattoos, why not choose an easier target?"

"I think it's the exact opposite of what you think. This may be the reason why he chose these three victims—with rose tattoos, but they are all normal women in the eyes of the world. I suspect that the suspect may have been hurt by similar women, so Paranoid about finding eligible victims, which explains why he waited so long to target a third person."

"The next point of doubt is age. Although the ID card is fake, according to the bone age identification and my confession, the age is determined to be about 25 years old. The dismemberment case of the girl in Nancheng and the Xiaoye case both occurred in 2004. At this time, Wu Hui was at most 14 years old. age, it seems too much to accomplish such a complex organized crime at this age."

"Age is not a hindrance to crime. The youngest murderer on record now was only 10 years old, from Liverpool, who conspired to abduct and torture a 1993-year-old in 2. Premeditated, not casual, targeting strangers, all fit the bill A profile of organized crime." Wang Shiqi clicked on the map of Wuhui's rented house on the table, "Most of the perpetrators' first sex crimes are located closest to their homes or workplaces, and they like to return to the crime scene after the crime is committed. Satisfy myself with memories. The first case happened in Nancheng, and Wu Hui's current residence is also in Nancheng. I have every reason to suspect that he is looking for past memories."
