Chapter 172 Entering the Lamb Village Again
In front of the slightly quaint gate of Anzhen County Public Security Bureau, the sun shines on the ground, reflecting a golden color. Director Fu, dressed in a neat police uniform, stands at the door early with his team, with a warm smile on his face, looking towards the end of the road from time to time, looking forward to the arrival of Xing Zhongxing's team.
After a while, the roar of a police car came from afar, and Wang Weidong drove the police car steadily and slowly stopped in front of the Public Security Bureau.
The car door opened and Xing Zhongxing got out first. He walked with steady steps and a warm smile on his face. The team members behind him also got out one by one and walked towards Director Fu's team.
The two sides held hands tightly together. That strong handshake seemed to convey mutual trust and determination to cooperate. Everyone expressed their pleasure in cooperating. The atmosphere was harmonious and warm.
Director Fu smiled and gestured for him to come in, his gesture was elegant and friendly. Xing Zhongxing said with a smile: "Director Fu, aren't you in a hurry? Now that we are here, you are not in a hurry anymore?"
Director Fu laughed heartily and said: "No matter how anxious you are, you have to eat first. I left you starving last time. If you neglect me again this time, the people who use you will have no confidence!" Haha... everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard it.
"Director Fu, you are too polite. As long as it is business-related, you can use the people as you like." Xing Zhongxing said sincerely.
As they chatted happily, they walked into the kitchen in the yard with a relaxed pace. In the kitchen, a sturdy chef was concentrating on cooking, and the food in the pot exuded waves of tempting aroma under his skillful stir-frying.
Xing Zhongxing saw at a glance that the table was filled with delicious dishes. The sweet and sour fish was golden in color, and the sauce on the fish was crystal clear, as if telling of its deliciousness.
The glutinous rice steamed spareribs exudes a unique aroma, and the white glutinous rice wraps the tender spareribs, making people salivate;
The rich aroma of old hen stewed with mushrooms fills the whole kitchen, the deliciousness of mushrooms and the mellowness of old hen are perfectly blended;
The red tomato juice of the pork slices in tomato juice makes people's appetite increase. The pork slices are tender and juicy. Every dish makes people unable to resist their appetite.
Wang Weidong and Xiao Hai smiled and hugged each other's shoulders. Wang Weidong patted Xiao Hai on the shoulder and said, "Director Fu, you are spending a lot of money!"
Xiao Hai said with a smile: "These are local specialties. The chicken and fish raised at home are fresher and have no additives than those in your big cities. They are purely green and pollution-free."
Wang Weidong's eyes flickered, as if he saw hope for the future, and he said covetously: "If this investigation case is thoroughly handled, perhaps your poor and remote place will also undergo earth-shaking changes!"
Director Fu smiled and arranged for everyone to sit down. He happily supported, "Hey, you hit the point this time. It is possible that this time there will be a big change as you said!
Come on, eat it while it's hot, you're welcome. After dinner, we'll take a nap in the dormitory and set off at five in the morning so we don't have to go into the mountains in the dark."
Xing Zhongxing politely picked up the chopsticks and said, "Director Fu, please start eating together. We won't be polite. Thank you for your hospitality."
Director Fu’s position sounds very majestic. His straight back and determined eyes reveal the temperament of a leader, but he does not have the slightest official airs and is very down-to-earth.
Everyone happily enjoyed this wonderful moment with the sumptuous dinner carefully prepared by Director Fu. Laughter and joy echoed in every corner of the kitchen, adding a sense of warmth and anticipation for the upcoming cooperative mission.
The dim interrogation room was filled with a depressing atmosphere. Wei Guoqing walked into the tense room with a solemn expression, holding the folder tightly in his hand.
Niu Xiaobei had already been locked in the chair. His body was a little stiff and he sat very still, as if he was trying to appear submissive.
Two police officers were guarding him on the left and right, closely watching Niu Xiaobei's every move, not daring to slack off in the slightest.
Wei Guoqing walked straight to the desk opposite and sat down slowly. His eyes revealed a solemn expression, as if he could see through everything.
He cleared his throat and asked seriously, "What's your name?"
A trace of impatience flashed across Niu Xiaobei's face, and he replied in a bad tone: "Haven't you already asked?"
Wei Guoqing's voice became even colder, and he reminded him sternly: "Cooperate with us and strive for sentencing. You need to know what your current situation is."
Niu Xiaobei curled his lips helplessly and said with an unhappy look: "Niu Xiaobei."
Wei Guoqing continued to ask: "How did you get to know Duan Zicheng?"
Niu Xiaobei closed his eyes slightly, as if trying to recall the past scenes. After a moment, he slowly said: "A bar!
He drank a lot that time and seemed a little crazy. He took out a lot of money and spent it recklessly in the private room.
I took him home that day, and he was accompanied by his father’s secretary and a contractor.”
"Do you know someone named Caiwei?" Wei Guoqing suddenly asked.
"Caiwei?" Niu Xiaobei's face instantly turned a little frightened, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.
Wei Guoqing's many years of interrogation experience enabled him to keenly capture this subtle change in Niu Xiaobei. His heart tightened, and he realized that Caiwei might have an important connection with the case.
Wei Guoqing continued to ask: "Niu Xiaobei, if you confess everything now, your sentence will be lenient."
Niu Xiaobei's face showed a complex expression of fear and self-blame, and he said slowly: "Caiwei is a high school student. Because her parents are divorced, she can only live with her grandmother.
Two years ago, her grandmother was hospitalized due to illness and needed a huge amount of medical expenses. She had no choice but to ask her friends to introduce her to a bar hostess because it was easier to make money that way.
Caiwei was a pretty girl, and Duan Zicheng once fell in love with her. That night, Duan Zicheng called the bar owner and arranged to meet him at the hotel.
I drove Caiwei there that day. After we arrived at the hotel room, Duan Zicheng gave me a tip of 1,000 yuan and let me go.
The next day when I saw Caiwei in the bar, she looked very ugly, pale without a trace of blood, and there were several bruises on her arms. It should be easy for anyone to guess that she must have been raped by someone!"
Wei Guoqing couldn't help but feel angry when he heard this, but he knew that as a policeman he had to remain calm.
He suppressed his anger and continued to ask, "Where is Caiwei now?"
Niu Xiaobei's voice was trembling, with fear mixed with self-blame, "She's dead."
Upon hearing this, Wei Guoqing stood up suddenly, his eyes wide open, and asked in shock, "Dead? How did she die?"
Niu Xiaobei took a deep breath and continued, "Duan Zicheng once went on a cruise and called the bar owner to ask Caiwei to accompany him for drinks.
The boss said he would give her 100,000 yuan as a service fee. The hospital kept asking for the surgery fee, and despite a mental breakdown, she still agreed to the boss's request.
I drove her to the cruise ship, Mingliang and Shan Zhiqiang were there. Duan Zicheng gave Caiwei a set of sexy lingerie and asked her to wear it to accompany the guests on the deck. Caiwei was determined not to do so at first and asked him to transfer the money to the hospital immediately.
Duan Zicheng was quite righteous and immediately transferred the money to the hospital. Caiwei was forced to wear sexy lingerie. The girl was so beautiful that Duan Zicheng, under the influence of alcohol, made a move on her on the deck.
Caiwei felt that her self-esteem was greatly humiliated, and finally she jumped into the sea.
After listening to Niu Xiaobei's statement, Wei Guoqing's eyes suddenly burned with flames of anger, and that anger seemed to devour all the evil in the world.
He clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force, and his body couldn't help but tremble slightly, his whole body was like a volcano about to erupt;
Her hatred towards Duan Zicheng had reached its peak, and she only wanted to bring him to justice immediately and seek justice for poor Caiwei.
Afterwards, Wei Guoqing quickly took action and interrogated Mingliang and Shan Zhiqiang one by one. The cramped interrogation room was filled with a solemn atmosphere that made people feel depressed.
With his keen insight and rigorous work attitude, Wei Guoqing carefully screened the confessions of the three people, did not miss any clues, and made every effort to verify Niu Xiaobei's confession.
During this difficult process, he gradually uncovered the reason why Duanzi became his nightmare every night, and the truth about Caiwei's death gradually surfaced.
At this moment, the air in the interrogation room seemed to have solidified. In the silence, the only sounds were Wei Guoqing's heavy and suppressed breathing and Shan Zhiqiang's slightly trembling narration.
Wei Guoqing demonstrated the sacred duties and responsibilities of a police officer through his actions.
On the winding mountain road, the members of Xing Zhongxing's team and Director Fu's team once again carried their heavy bags and climbed hard towards Xiaoyang Village with firm but slightly tired steps.
The sunlight shone on their bodies, reflecting their sweat-soaked clothes, but their eyes revealed a kind of determination and persistence.
It seemed that with the previous experience, although the journey was still difficult, they felt more calm this time and no longer felt helpless and confused like last time.
They supported each other along the way, moving forward along the familiar yet unfamiliar mountain road. Finally, at noon when the sun was shining brightly, they arrived at the Little Sheep Village.
This quiet little mountain village is now shrouded in sunshine, but it seems to be filled with a different atmosphere.
The few of them walked straight to Qiu Baochang's house with ease. Along the way, the tranquility of the village formed a sharp contrast with their inner anxiety.
At this moment, Qiu Baochang, Manfu, Luo Gouzi, and Cuiying were sitting around the kang.
The faces that showed the vicissitudes of life were covered with clouds of sorrow. The atmosphere in the room was dull and depressing, as if the air had become heavy.
They were all worried about what was happening in the village, and confused about how to punish the seriousness of future events; the unknown was the greatest fear in people's hearts.
At this moment, they heard footsteps coming from far away into the yard. When Chief Qiu heard the sound and was about to get off the kang, Xing Zhongxing and Director Fu had already opened the door curtain and walked into the room.
When Captain Qiu saw them, he showed a surprised expression on his face and said, "Director Fu, Captain Xing? Why are you here?"
Director Fu was still smiling, as if he wanted to break the depressing atmosphere, and said, "Hey, everyone is here! It's great, let's sit down and have a good chat!"
Manfu and Luo Gouzi looked unhappy. Manfu frowned and said, "You've taken everyone away. What else are you talking about?"
Luo Gouzi also echoed, his eyes revealing dissatisfaction and confusion. They didn't understand what these people were coming back for, and their worries and uneasiness became stronger and stronger.
Cuiying watched all this silently. She knew that when the investigation team came back, things would not be that simple.
