The bullet passed through Nguyen Hui's shoulder. After going to the hospital for emergency treatment, the police immediately brought her back and began the interrogation.
Facing the interrogators, Nguyen Hui looked pitiful, and even cried, but she refused to give anything up.
"It's the same result again." Chen Shi said, "These professional criminals are all hardheaded."
Lin Dongxue comforted him, "When my brother was an interrogator, this kind of thing was normal. These people knew that they couldn't escape from their crimes, and they’d meet the same end whether they talked or not, so they would simply die with their lips zipped. Some people had simpler motives and would talk when they entered prison in exchange for some benefits. The credit would then then be given to the prison officers."
At this moment, Nguyen Hui seemed to be saying something on the monitor screen. The interrogator busied himself writing it down, and then picked up the interphone.
Chen Shi's cell phone rang, and the interrogator said, "Captain, she confessed where the bodies had been abandoned. They are in..."
After listening, Chen Shi was both heartened and disappointed. What was heartening was that they finally had some results. What was disappointing was - "In the end, not a single victim was saved."
"Didn't we save one? Although he lost his stomach."
"I'll arrange for someone to bring the bodies back so that everyone doesn't have to work overtime tonight. After busying ourselves for a few days, we can finally rest for a while..." Chen Shi turned around to leave.
"Hey, Captain, it's 5:00, should we..."
Chen Shi slapped his forehead. "You go and inform them. I’ll go to the office to change my clothes."
When he went to the office, Chen Shi took off his police uniform and put on his civilian clothes. When he was about to turn off the lights, he found a piece of paper on his desk.
When he picked it up, Chen Shi's eyes widened, and he quickly ran to the Information Department to ask them to check for a certain person.
Upon seeing the results on the screen, Chen Shi muttered to himself, "That's it! So it was like that!"
"Captain, Captain." Lin Dongxue's voice came from the corridor.
"I'm here." Chen Shi walked out.
"Why did you leave the office without saying anything? Let's go!"
"Look at this." Chen Shi stuffed the DNA identification result in his hand into hers.
"No way!!!" Lin Dongxue's astonishment was beyond description. "The blood on the kk’s sole really came from one of the victims. Liao Chunhuang is the person behind the scenes. He does have money, underworld connections, and he also knows of the ritual. But... what about the motive?"
"What do you think is the point of resurrecting a person for only one day?"
"Don't be mysterious and just tell me."
"The most significant meaning of the one-day resurrection is the judicial significance. For example, if I killed a person and that person was resurrected, even if he was resurrected for only one minute, my murder charge would be invalidated judicially."
"Could it be that the person Liao Chunhuang wanted to resurrect was the one his wife killed? His wife’s elder brother?"
"Yes, Xu Rongrong's elder brother Xu Song was born on February 19th, 1973. We actually hadn't thought of it even though it had already appeared in front of our eyes. It took a few detours before we discovered this. If kk hadn’t stepped on this drop of blood by mistake, everyone would still be in the dark!" The feeling of sudden realizations always brought a kind of thorough rejuvenation. Chen Shi wondered if his thinking had become dulled after spending two months in the detention center since he had only figured it out now.
"Everyone hasn't gotten off work yet. I'll call them, and we’ll prepare to arrest him!"
"No, no..." Chen Shi considered. "This drop of blood found on kk can't prove where it came from. When we go tonight, we will search carefully and find this key evidence. Go to Old Peng to get some cotton swabs and reagents... Let everyone have a good time during the Mid-Autumn Festival. If they were called back after we said they could get off work, how much would they hate me in their hearts?"
Lin Dongxue also smiled. "Should we bring a gun?"
"No, Liao Chunhuang still doesn’t know that we know. There won’t be any risk tonight."
"To be on the safe side, I'll still carry a gun."
"That’s okay too."
Tonight was the Mid-Autumn Festival. People from all walks of life were preparing to go home and reunite with their loved ones. There was a round of ice in the sky
