“So, our first guess was right!” Zhao Yu said. “Because Cai Xiangbin’s family had done terrible things to Liu Caiyun, she wanted to take revenge! That might be the reason why she wanted to kill Cai Jinda.”
“Mr. Gao!” At this time, Zhang Peipei couldn’t stand listening to Zhao Yu anymore, so she whispered in a low voice, while pulling Gao Facai’s sleeves, “You see? How can he do this? He’s going against the rules.”
“Huh?” As they were all in such close proximity to one another, of course, their conversation did not escape Zhao Yu’s ears. He bluntly said to Zhang Peipei, “Who are you to criticize me? How am I going against the rules?”
“Hmm…” Zhang Peipei stepped back from Zhao Yu in fear.
“Peipei…” Gao Facai quickly went in front of Zhang Peipei, but the stubborn girl still spoke to Zhao Yu with an attitude of total disobedience, “You beat them! Tortured them… Extorted a confession!”
Zhao Yu stared at her with his evil-looking eyes. Zhang Peipei had no reaction, but the two men who were beaten were shivering all over.
“Well, you are just an assistant, so how dare you question me?” Zhao Yu began to roll up his sleeves.
“Leader Zhao…” Seeing that things were not going well, Gao Facai urgently tried to calm Zhao Yu down.
“Come on…” Zhao Yu said, while he pointed to the two men. “Let those two tell the truth. Come on… Talk!”
When Zhao Yu roared at them, they shook all over.
Cai Jinda’s second uncle nodded his head nonstop as he said, “We fell from our bikes, and it had nothing to do with this officer!”
“Yes!” The third uncle nodded his head and agreed. “We cooperated with the police. When this officer came to talk to us, we took the initiative to explain it all!”
The second uncle’s nose was still bleeding as he said, “My eldest brother really went too far! What he did to Liu Caiyun is really shameful.”
“Yes!” Another man wiped the bloodstains from the corners of his mouth, then said, “Thanks to the police’s investigation, we now have the truth!”
“Alright!” Zhao Yu said impatiently. “Hurry up and go to the interrogation room to put on record exactly what happened that year.”
After that, he deliberately walked up to Zhang Peipei. Then, without saying anything, he snorted and turned away.
Zhang Peipei was frightened to death, so she trembled violently. She had never seen a policeman like Zhao Yu before.
A few minutes later, in the police office.
“Group leader? Is it really that simple?” Zeng Ke scratched his head and asked. “Cai Jinda’s second uncle and third uncle know what happened, so you just moved your fists and solved everything? We even were thinking of opening the coffin yesterday!”
“They confessed that after Cai Xiangbin’s sentence, they and their eldest brother went to the island to negotiate with Liu Caiyun and ask her to dismiss her charge!” Zhao Yu said. “But, Liu Caiyun refused, insisting that the murderer was Cai Xiangbin! Later, when their negotiation didn’t go well, things got out of control!”
Zhao Yu then went on, “While they were arguing and pushing, Liu Caiyun’s clothes were torn. Then, when the three brothers saw that, they pushed Liu Caiyun down on the ground and did that horrible thing to her.”
He shook his head. “After that, they worried that Liu Caiyun had their liquid in her, so they forced her to clean herself up and threatened to come back later if she disagreed with their proposal. My guess is that Liu Caiyun knew then that she had to flee Yongjin Island right away!”
“Oh my!” Zeng Ke was shocked. He then asked, “Since they made her clean their fluids from herself, is it possible for Liu Caiyun to have gotten pregnant from this assault?”
“The two brothers said that, after the first time, the eldest brother might have come to the island secretly again without them,” Zhao Yu said. “But, that’s just speculation!”
“Although the eldest is definitely guilty, the two brothers are hardly innocent!” Zeng Ke clenched his fists angrily. “After all, that’s rape!”
“Captain Dou is the eldest one’s child, so at least we can confidently say that the eldest is guilty!” Zhao Yu said. “When I gave them the blood test, the third brother insisted that he didn’t participate in the rape, but just offered some help!”
He shook his head. “But, the second one was different. That fellow’s eyes didn’t look right. Although he refused to admit his guilt, we should interrogate him carefully!”
“Okay. I will inform Bureau Chief Wang to submit him to a strict interrogation to make sure that the facts are clear!” Zeng Ke said. “Even if the crime was committed decades ago, they still cannot be allowed get away with it!”
“It’s alright. Wu Xiumin has already talked to me!” Zhao Yu said. “Liu Caiyun’s situation has been stabilized. So, it won’t be long before the interrogation can continue! As long as she is willing to tell the truth, none of them can get away!”
“Wow… Also, I wonder how Captain Dou would react if he knew that he killed his brother?” Zeng Ke asked.
“Well… He has to face it sooner or later!” Zhao Yu said. “Let’s get down to business. Do you handle what I asked you to do?”
“Oh, team leader! Don’t you believe in my ability yet?” Zeng Ke smiled slightly as he spoke, “Not only have I finished the task without leaving any trace, but I even made it look like an accident!”
“Good… That’s good…” Zhao Yu thought for a moment, then said, “Oh, I heard that Bureau Chief Wang contacted the Marine Police to salvage the body of Guo Yihang!”
“Um… Yes! Although the chance is slim, according to the procedure, no matter how difficult it is, they need to try to salvage it! Bureau Chief Wang went to the Marine Police last night!” Zeng Ke waved his hand as he spoke, “Maybe this morning, we should take Captain Dou to identify the position?”
Zhao Yu shook his head and sighed. “Seven lives lost… I didn’t expect that it would be such a sad story.”
As often occurred after the completion of a case, Zhao Yu could not find a clear right or wrong point in this isolated island murder case. The deceased victims did all kinds of bad things, while the murderer’s motive for killing almost seemed justified. Regardless, the crime was heinous and horrible!
Looking at it solely from the perspective of the legal system, Zhao Yu could differentiate right from wrong, but if he looked at it from the perspective of morality, Zhao Yu felt confused.
Suddenly, Zhao Yu’s mobile phone rang. It was Chen Zhuo, the liaison officer, calling.
“Leader Zhao! We’ve just received emergency orders!” As soon as the call went through, Chen Zhuo’s impatient voice was heard over the phone, “You must return to the Criminal Division to report before 8 o’clock tomorrow morning! Please note that all members of the Special Investigation Group must be present!”
No way! Zhao Yu thought of his hexagram as he asked, “What’s the matter? Didn’t I tell you? I’m still at the finishing stage, as there’s another old case that hasn’t been cleared up yet!”
“Rest assured. It’s a good thing!” Chen Zhuo said. “Tomorrow morning, the Criminal Division will hold a grand press conference regarding the closure of the Headless Female Corpses Case! This is the largest conference that has been held by the Criminal Division in the last 10 years. Leaders at all levels will come to participate. As our biggest star, you can’t miss it!”
“The Headless Female Corpses Case? A press conference? What do you mean?” Zhao Yu frowned. “Can’t they wait for two days?”
“My God, what are you talking about…” Chen Zhuo had just asked this, when a woman quickly grabbed the phone from him and said to Zhao Yu over the phone, “Zhao Yu! I am Jiao Guofeng. Hurry up and put down any work at hand, as tomorrow morning, you must return to the Criminal Division!”
She then added, “Also, as the team leader, you have to prepare a speech, mainly about the Headless Female Corpses Case. Make your team members write it for you if you have to, then send it to me immediately!”
“Division Chief Jiao?” Zhao Yu heard Jiao Guofeng’s familiar voice. Only then did he realize that tomorrow’s conference must be quite important.
She then said, “Zhao Yu, I first want to congratulate you on breaking the Yongjin Island case, but the final work will be handled by their local Provincial Office!” Division Chief Jiao said. “You and your people must come back now. The Headless Female Corpses Case has been listed as a super-large case countrywide, and it has always attracted the attention of many people. Therefore, your detective skills have won great honor for our Criminal Division.”
She went on, “The Bureau Chief is very happy. In fact, he specially prepared this grand press conference to announce the results to the outside world. Tomorrow, the Publicity Department, TV stations, the largest news platform, as well as relevant units will all be in attendance. So, be sure to prepare your speech! Zhao Yu, you and your Special Investigation Group are going to be famous!”
Zhao Yu then asked without hesitation, “Then, is my promotion on the agenda?”
