Detective: From the Police Academy

Chapter 376 Go to hell!
"White Northwest?"

After Luo Rui received Chu Yang's call, he was stunned for a moment.

The person on the other end of the phone continued, "Team leader, we have interrogated Bai Zhanfei for eight hours. Five years ago, the TT-33 Soviet-style pistol was indeed in Bai Xibei's hands. Moreover, Bai Xibei did not suffer from Alzheimer's disease at that time. It is very likely that he killed the five children!"

"What did Bai Kangyong say?"

"We haven't interrogated him yet."

Luo Rui pondered and said, "Well, you can start the trial right away. Don't ask directly about the [1*23 case]. Just ask about the movements of Bai Kangyong's family on January 1 five years ago. Don't point to the possibility that Bai Xibei committed a crime, so as not to alert him. I want Bai Xibei's alibi for that day!"
If you can't get anything out of Bai Kangyong, go ask all his relatives and make sure they tell me where Bai Xibei was on the day of the crime!"

"understand!"

After hanging up the phone, Luo Rui looked at the yellow paper money scattered high in the sky, and his heart sank to the bottom.

"What's wrong?" Cai Xiaojing came over and handed him the buns and soy milk that had just been brought up the mountain.

"Chu Yang and Su Mingyuan have already identified the suspect."

"Found it?" Cai Xiaojing frowned: "So fast?"

Lin Chen at the side quickly asked: "Who is the suspect?"

"White Northwest."

"Him?" The two were shocked: "How could it be him?"

Luo Rui did not answer, but took out his cell phone and first called Hu Changyu to report the situation, and then called Xie Wanli.

"Hello, Mr. Luo? I'm back in the province. What can I do for you?"

Luo Rui said directly: "Find me some experts in neurology who are the most authoritative and have the best medical skills in the industry."

Xie Wanli was stunned for a moment on the other end of the phone, a little confused: "Boss Luo, this...can I ask what happened? Who is sick?"

"This is my personal matter, go and do it quickly."

Seeing him say this, Xie Wanli stopped asking questions: "Mr. Luo, when I was studying abroad, several of my classmates were studying medicine. They know some authorities in neurology. I can try to contact them.

But those foreigners ask for a high price, and it will cost a lot to invite them to come to our place.”

Luo Rui looked at the three skeletons lying on the white cloth and gritted his teeth and said, "I want a team of experts. No matter what the cost, no matter how much it costs, bring all the people to me within two days."

"I'll do it right away."

Hearing Luo Rui's tone that did not allow for refusal, Xie Wanli did not dare to neglect it. After hanging up the phone, he quickly put aside the work at hand and immediately looked for an expert in neurology and brain science for Luo Rui.

--------------

The next day, it rained.

In the county bureau's meeting room, bean-sized raindrops hit the window glass, making crackling sounds.

In the conference room, the atmosphere was stagnant and filled with smoke, and everyone felt like a huge stone was blocking their hearts.

Finding a corpse is one of the most important pieces of evidence for conviction.

Identifying the suspect is the final step in solving the [1*23 case].

But no one in the county bureau or the criminal squad was in high spirits.

The main reason is that the suspect Bai Xibei suffers from Alzheimer's disease, scientifically known as Alzheimer's disease, which undoubtedly poured cold water on the investigation of the case.

There was a glass ashtray in front of Shen Huaimin's desk, filled with burnt cigarette butts.

He sighed and said, "Since Xiang Ke's body was dug up at the construction site in the southern suburbs in March this year, our county bureau has held many criminal investigation meetings. We have discussed the identity of the murderer, human traffickers, hunters, or perverted loners, but we never thought that the murderer would be someone like Bai Xibei. How did this bastard get sick!"

Xu Chengzhi shook his head: "After working so hard for so long, I thought this case would see the light of day, but who knew it would end up like this? The case is solved but it's as good as not solved at all!"

Tian Guanghan immediately asked, "Is this old man pretending to be sick?"

Luo Rui said, "It's unlikely. Bai Xibei was not a good guy when he was young. He committed many crimes. If he wanted to escape the punishment of the law, he didn't need to pretend to be sick. It's been five years since this happened. He has plenty of time to escape the country.

Besides, Xiang Ke was buried at a construction site in the southern suburbs. His son was working on this project. If he was pretending to be crazy, he would not have moved the body and left Xiang Ke's body exposed."

Lin Chen replied, “After we came down the mountain yesterday, we sent people to the county hospital. Bai Xibei is now being held in solitary confinement in a ward because he was shot twice when he and Bai Kangyong were arrested, but neither was fatal, so he is still recuperating.

We asked a doctor to diagnose his condition and reviewed his medical records over the past five years. We also consulted relevant personnel from the North Suburbs Sanatorium and found out that Bai Xibei was indeed diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease five years ago.

The first time he went to the hospital for treatment was on May 2004, 1, four months after the [23* case] occurred.

In addition to the county hospital, the provincial and municipal Grade A hospitals, and the imperial capital hospital all have records of his medical treatment. So it seems that his illness is a fact, and it should be true."

After Lin Chen finished speaking, Cai Xiaojing continued, "We have asked his attending physician, Bai Xibei is not completely demented. He is awake for one or two hours every day."

Luo Rui asked: "Is there any pattern to follow?"

He still remembered the first time he met Bai Xibei, he spoke clearly and logically, and he could remember things.

"He only regained consciousness intermittently, and the doctor didn't know when he would wake up."

Luo Rui looked at Chu Yang who had rushed back from the provincial capital, and the latter said: "From what we have investigated, we know that Bai Xibei is most likely the murderer of [1*23 case], there is no doubt about it.

According to Bai Kangyong and his relatives, Bai Xibei went out early in the morning on January 2004, 1. He did not say what he was doing, but he was wearing a windbreaker, hiking shoes, and a pair of carbon fiber gloves. In foreign countries, this type of gloves is mostly used for target shooting or military gloves. His outfit showed that he was going into the mountains to hunt!

Zhao Chunlai followed up, “Our forensic department has sent the biological samples to the Municipal Bureau’s Physical Evidence Center. After adding a stopper, the results will be out tonight.

We have also conducted a detailed identification of the remains of the three dolls. I am inclined to believe that these three dolls are Xiang Ming, Wu Yue and Ren Xiaoyong who have been missing for five years. This can be judged from their bone age and height, as well as the clothes excavated by Captain Xu.

Corpse No. 0.6, please look at the big screen. He was shot in the back, and the shrapnel was embedded in the second vertebra, cm to the right. Later, we also found shrapnel in the left back of his head.

In other words, the doll was shot twice from behind, one in the back and one in the back of the head."

"The same thing happened to corpse number two. He was shot twice in the back, near the waist and shoulder blade, but neither of them was fatal. I speculate that he died of excessive bleeding, or he was buried alive while he was unconscious and had not yet died, resulting in suffocation!

As for the exact cause of death, you will have to ask the suspect."

"Corpse No. 3 was shot in the face. It was fatal. He died on the spot. And it was shot at a short distance..."

Zhao Ming took over Zhao Chunlai's words: "I guess the distance should not exceed ten meters, between ten meters and five meters, the murderer shot the child in the face!
The child watched the murderer kill him!
The type of bullet used by the murderer was a shotgun bullet, not a TT-33, which is consistent with our previous speculation that the murderer was carrying a pistol and a rifle when he committed the crime.

As for the type of bullet and the type of long gun that could fire it, we have verified the results.”

Hearing him say this, everyone looked over.

TT-33 has already locked onto Bai Xibei. If the rifle can also be proven to be the type of gun used by Bai Xibei, then the case will be solved.

Zhao Ming did not keep the secret, but spoke directly: "This rifle is indeed Bai Xibei's! After Bai Kangyong's criminal gang was arrested, the county bureau searched their residence and hideout carefully. We have compared the rifle confiscated from Bai Kangyong's villa, which is Bai Xibei's bedroom, and it is definitely this gun!

Only by going to the Municipal Bureau's Physical Evidence Center and conducting a ballistic test can this evidence be secured!"

After these words were spoken, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and then frowned.

[Case 1*23] has been solved so far and the suspect has been identified.

But what makes people feel unwilling is Bai Xibei’s current situation. He suffers from Alzheimer’s disease and the court is unable to try him, let alone bring him to justice.

Xu Chengzhi threw the cigarette butt in his hand into the ashtray and said, "Except for the burial site, we dug in the mountains all day yesterday and did not find the little girl's body, but we did find the children's clothes, as well as firecrackers and toys in their pockets.

We compared the holes on these clothes with the injury assessment that Forensic Doctor Zhao just mentioned, and they are indeed consistent with the scene of the crime.

The muzzle of the gun appeared on the clothes and was compared with the three corpses.

We can conclude that corpse No. 1, the one shot in the back and back of the head, belongs to Xiang Ming, who was wearing a brown doll costume at the time.

Corpse No. 2 belonged to Ren Xiaoyong, who was shot twice in the back by the murderer.

Corpse No. 3 belongs to Wu Yue. There are no holes in his clothes, but there are large bloodstains on his collar and chest, which is consistent with the diagnosis of being shot in the face. "

Having said this, everyone looked at Luo Rui.

Judging from the cause of death and the way he was shot, it is pretty much the same as what Luo Rui speculated about the murder, but the details still need to be carefully considered.

Shen Huaimin said: "Xiang Ming was wearing a doll costume at the time. He was shot in the back and the back of the head. Could it be that he was killed by Bai Xibei by mistake?
Then, Bai Xibei realized that he had killed the wrong person. When the other children saw this, some were terrified, and some chose to run away. At this time, Bai Xibei decided to kill them all, so he shot the children continuously to silence them?"

Luo Rui shook his head: "We need Bai Xibei's confession to know what happened at that time. Captain Xu, please continue."

Xu Chengzhi nodded: "There are two more things. First, the clothes that Xiang Ke was wearing when he was killed were buried together with the clothes of the other three children.

Second, we didn’t find Xiang Tao’s clothes.

The current situation is that Xiang Tao is still missing. Our work has not stopped. There is still a search team of several hundred people in the mountains, continuing to expand the search area.

Captain Luo, Director Shen, don't worry, we will find this child even if we have to dig three feet underground!"

Luo Rui asked: "Why were Xiang Ke's clothes buried with the other three children?"

Lin Chen suddenly realized: "Yes, wasn't Xiang Ke killed at the South Suburbs construction site? His body was also found there. Why did his clothes appear in the mountains?"

Xu Chengzhi: "Maybe when Bai Xibei was burying the body, he took off his clothes and brought them into the mountains to bury them with the other children's clothes?"

Tian Guanghan shook his head: "Isn't this a waste of time?"

Cai Xiaojing made a note in her notebook, then looked up and asked, "Is there something hidden in this?"

Luo Rui looked at the picture of the corpse on the big screen and said slowly: "Perhaps there is a possibility..."

"Perhaps Xiang Ke had been subdued by the murderer, who took off his clothes. At this time, he took the opportunity to escape. He ran naked and barefoot in the snow and ice, and kept running. He was eventually caught up by the murderer at a construction site in the southern suburbs. The murderer then killed him and buried his body on the spot."

Hearing this, everyone in the conference room gritted their teeth and was speechless. Luo Rui said solemnly: "As for the truth, we have no choice but to pry open Bai Xibei's mouth!"

Xu Chengzhi stood up at once and said, "I will go to the mountain now to look for that little girl. I will not come down the mountain until I find her!"

Having said that, he set off without stopping with all the people from the county bureau.

Luo Rui also stood up: "It's time for us to meet this old guy!"

----------

County Hospital.

Four criminal police officers took turns guarding Ward No. 5. The order they received was that no one was allowed to approach. Even doctors and nurses had to be checked before entering the ward.

At this time, seeing a large group of people coming, the criminal police immediately recognized that the leader was the dreaded Luo Yanwang.

"How is Bai Xixi's condition?"

The leading detective replied: "The doctor just checked him. His injuries are stable, but his mind is still not clear."

"Go get the doctor!"

"Yes!"

Luo Rui pushed open the door of the ward and immediately smelled a foul odor.

Bai Kangyong and others were arrested, and none of his family members and relatives were clean. They were all detained in the detention center, so Bai Xibei had no one to visit or serve him.

After Luo Rui entered the room, he took a look at the bed sheets. The stench was coming from the quilt. It was obvious that the old man had defecated.

Bai Xibei is 69 years old this year. Half of his hair is white and his waist and abdomen are wrapped in white bandages.

Seeing a group of people coming in, he raised his face, his eyes were confused and his expression was dull.

"You...who are you?"

Luo Rui stared at him without saying a word.

"Who am I? Why are you locking me up?" Bai Xibei shook his hands. His left and right hands were handcuffed to the hospital bed, and so were his legs.

Luo Rui still didn't answer, but just stared at him coldly.

After a while, the attending doctor was brought in by the criminal police.

The doctor knew Bai Xibei and also knew that Taihe Group had collapsed and Bai Kangyong had been arrested, so he tried to appear cautious for fear of causing any trouble.

Luo Rui looked at the doctor: "When will he wake up?"

"Ah? This... this is hard to say. The patient's condition is getting worse and worse. A few days ago, he was still lucid for a while every day, but now he is in dementia almost every day."

"Give me a way, I want to talk to him!"

"This..." The doctor said in embarrassment: "The only thing we can do is wait until he wakes up."

"Okay, I'll wait!" Luo Rui replied, and then looked at Lin Chen and Chu Yang: "Prepare all the interrogation materials, bring in a table and two chairs, and keep the camera ready. We'll just wait for him to wake up!"

Lin Chen said: "I'll go right away!"

Then, the ward was vacated and tables, stools, computers, cameras, etc. were all prepared.

This ward was used as an interrogation room.

Luo Rui called the attending doctor over and said, "You stay here. If you can't hold on, call two more doctors to monitor Bai Xibei's condition at all times. If you notice that he wakes up, inform us immediately!"

The doctor nodded quickly. Luo Rui was so busy talking to him that he didn't tell him his identity. He took the opportunity to ask someone about it and found out that this young man was the Luo team that brought down the Taihe Group. Of course, he didn't dare to neglect him.

Luo Rui, Cai Xiaojing, Lin Chen and Chu Yang were staying in the ward. Besides them, there were two doctors in white coats.

Time passed slowly. During this time, the doctors kept observing Bai Xibei's condition, but they all shook their heads. Bai Xibei was still in a state of amnesia.

This situation continued until the evening, and Bai Xibei still didn't wake up.

Cai Xiaojing and a few others couldn't bear it anymore, so they replaced them with Fang Yonghui, Tian Guanghan and Yang Bo to continue on duty in case he woke up at any time.

Luo Rui never left. When he was hungry, he ate in the ward. When he was sleepy, he took a turn sleeping on another bed.

------------

After two days in a row, Bai Xibei was in a daze and the attending physician could hardly hold on any longer. Fortunately, a group of doctors who came from the provincial, municipal and imperial capital replaced him.

These people were hired by Xie Wanli at a high price. They were all experts in the field of neurology. There were one or two people who did not buy into her account, but after hearing that it was a case involving the murder of five children, they were no longer so aloof.

The county hospital had never seen these industry bigwigs before. The director and others were immediately alarmed and were extremely attentive.

In response to Bai Xibei's condition, the hospital immediately held a targeted treatment meeting.

The most authoritative expert among them said that in Bai Xibei's case, the hope of treatment is slim, but not impossible.

But Luo Rui’s requirement was that he must wake up immediately.

The experts gave a way to forcefully awaken his memory, and he could give it a try.

Luo Rui had no objection, so on the morning of the third day, the experts entered Bai Xibei's ward.

Luo Rui and others were waiting in the corridor.

Lin Chen sighed, "I heard from Captain Xu that Xiangnan is like crazy. He has been staying in the mountains for the past few days, following the police to search for his daughter Xiangtao's body. He has not slept for two consecutive days and has not eaten or drunk anything.

You said, his dead children appeared in his dreams and asked him to find their bodies, why didn't God have mercy on him anymore?"

Cai Xiaojing sighed and said, "The cruelest thing is that you always give people a glimmer of hope, but they can never catch it."

Chu Yang shook his head: "I dare not even think about how desperate he would be as a father if Xiang Tao's body was found again."

Tian Guanghan: "I think it's hard to find the body of the girl in the mountains. Maybe she wasn't buried in the mountains. Think about it, the clothes of the four boys were buried together. Bai Xibei couldn't have missed the girl's clothes.

We had to pry it out of this old man's mouth. We endured it for several days, but this bastard just wouldn't wake up."

Yang Bo said: "Maybe this girl is still alive?"

Fang Yonghui: "This possibility is too small. How could someone like Bai Xibei let her go? Even if Xiang Tao ran down the mountain at that time, why didn't she run back home? She was only five years old at the time."

Su Mingyuan: "According to your speculation, did Bai Xibei bring Xiang Tao down the mountain? What did this old beast do? Damn it, I wish this old thing would be shot immediately. Such a person deserves death!"

"Come on, death penalty?" Tian Guanghan shook his head: "Unless God opens his eyes and a miracle happens."

"That won't let him get away with it!"

As soon as Su Mingyuan finished speaking, the door of the ward was suddenly pushed open, and the expert wearing tortoise-shell glasses hurriedly asked, "Where is your Luo team?"

"Professor Han, the team leader has gone to the bathroom."

"Call him over quickly, the patient is awake!"

When Su Mingyuan heard this, he hurried to the bathroom. Everyone else also perked up and immediately became excited.

Luo Rui had just come out of the bathroom. When he heard about this, he ran while shouting, "Chu Yang, Lin Chen, prepare the interrogation records! Quick, quick!"

A crowd of people immediately rushed into the ward.

Luo Rui pushed the doctor away and looked at Bai Xibei, seeing that his pupils were clear, and then looked at Professor Han.

Professor Han nodded slightly and stepped aside.

At this time, Chu Yang behind the table said: "Team Leader, I'm ready!"

Lin Chen followed up: "I'm ready too!"

Tian Guanghan: “The camera is on!”

Hearing this, Luo Rui turned around and stared at Bai Xibei.

"Tell me, what's your name?"

The muscles on Bai Xibei's face twitched. He looked back at Luo Rui, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said nothing.

"Now tell me, what's your name?!"

The more Luo Rui asked this, the smile on Bai Xibei's face grew wider.

This damn thing wouldn't laugh for no reason. There is no doubt that this bastard has woken up!
Luo Rui was furious and his whole body was shaking. He changed his tone and said, "Bai Xibei, do you know that Taihe Group has collapsed? Bai Kangyong, Lu Wannian, and Bai Zhanfei have all been arrested. Zhang Ru and Pan Hai were both shot dead by our police!
Your son, your nephew, and your family will all stand in the judgement seat, and what awaits them is the punishment of the law, the death penalty! Bai Xibei, do you understand what I am saying?"

Suddenly, Bai Xibei's smile froze, his eyes seemed to spit fire, and the metal handcuffs on his wrists shook.

He was struggling, he wanted to resist, he made humming sounds, and saliva oozed from the corners of his mouth.

Professor Han quickly took out a miniature flashlight and looked into Bai Xibei's eyes: "He is going to become demented again. Ask whatever you want to ask."

Luo Rui approached him, his eyes sharp, the anger in his heart bursting out like a mountain torrent.

"Bai Xibei, tell me, where is the girl named Xiang Tao among those children you killed?"

"Bai Xibei, if you don't confess, I will invite the world's most authoritative neurosurgeon to cure you at any cost, and then let you stand in the judgement seat and finally shoot you! Let you, the old beast, go to hell, and your family will be together in the eighteenth level of hell!
Even if I can't cure you, I will throw you into a mental hospital and torture you every day, making your life worse than death! I, Luo Rui, will keep my word!"
