Animal Detective

Chapter 142 The Old Case of Yanling
"What about the knife?" Sun Zhao pressed.

Sun Yongxi looked impatient. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly turned his head and walked directly into the main room.

He turned around suddenly.

It was as if the two were chatting when the other person suddenly turned and left, leaving Zhao Tianxing completely caught off guard.

By the time Zhao Tianxing realized what was happening and tried to stop him, Sun Yongxi had already entered the main room. Under Zhao Tianxing's gaze, he took two steps to the low table against the wall and grabbed a kitchen knife from the table.

It seems he usually cooks here.

"do not move!"

Zhao Tianxing shouted and immediately reached for his waist, pulling out his pistol.

Shen Xin immediately drew his pistol.

Given the unclear situation and the fact that they were suspected murderers, all four of them carried guns.

The problem is, having a gun in hand, whether or not to fire it is another question.

Zhao Tianxing retreated into the courtyard, where he and Ding Yuwei flanked Sun Yongxi.

The colleague from Liqiao Town who was outside also rushed in and pulled out a baton.

Sun Yongxi, clutching a kitchen knife, walked out of the main room as if he hadn't seen anything, pointed the knife at Sun Zhao, and shouted, "Aren't you annoying? What do you want?"

Holding the gun in both hands, Sun Zhao winked at Shen Shi and shouted, "Sun Yongxi, I'm just asking you a question."

“You’ve already asked them all!” Sun Yongxi still looked impatient.

Shen Xin kept backing away.

Shen Xin understood Sun Zhao's gaze.

At this point, a pistol is no match for a can of pepper spray.

Fortunately, there were some on the bus.

After taking a few steps back, Shen Xin immediately turned around and rushed out of the courtyard.

Liu Dan outside was terrified and said in a panic, "Officer, he... he's confused, please don't kill him!"

Shen Xin ignored her, opened the glove box, took out the pepper spray, and rushed back.

In the courtyard, Sun Yongxi, holding a knife, told Sun Zhao and the others to get lost.

Seeing Shen Xin return with the chili water, Sun Zhao quickly gave Zhao Tianxing and Ding Yuwei a wink.

Shen Xin didn't hesitate. He aimed and sprayed out a tube of pepper spray.

With a scream, Sun Yongxi instinctively covered his face.

Zhao Tianxing and Ding Yuwei lunged forward simultaneously.

Zhao Tianxing swiftly grabbed the arm and the knife, while Ding Yuwei grabbed the leg.

With a quick move, he took Sun Yongxi down in an instant.

"What are you doing? My eyes!" Sun Yongxi struggled fiercely, but Zhao Tianxing held him down tightly.

Shen Xin immediately rushed forward, kicked away the kitchen knife, and pulled out handcuffs to cuff Sun Yongxi.

“This guy…” Zhao Tianxing opened his mouth to curse, but suddenly felt Sun Zhao’s sharp gaze and immediately shut up.

Sun Zhao glanced at Sun Yongxi, who was struggling and screaming, and gestured to Ding Yuwei to take him to the car first.

"Zhao Tianxing." Sun Zhao looked around and said, "I'm leaving this to you. Try your best to find the murder weapon."

Six years have passed, and that little knife is probably long gone.

Moreover, no knife was found on Sun Yongxi when he was taken into custody.

But we still need to look for it.

"Captain Sun, I was wrong." Looking at the yard full of garbage, Zhao Tianxing's face changed, and he hurriedly begged for forgiveness.

Sun Zhao ignored him, turned to Shen Xin, and asked, "Little Shen, let me test you. Do you have any ideas?"

Sun Zhao seemed to have noticed the problem as well.

Shen Xin immediately said, "Captain Sun, even if Sun Yongxi is indifferent to human life, he was too decisive in his actions. Moreover, after killing someone, he hid the body and searched for valuables. Do you think the Xiao Hong case might not be his first case?"

Sun Zhao laughed, patted Shen Xin on the shoulder and said, "Not bad, you're quick-witted, you're thinking the same thing as me."

Zhao Tianxing hurriedly added, "Captain Sun, I thought of that too."

Sun Zhao ignored him, pointed to the room, and gestured for him to get to work instead of just sitting around.

Sun Yongxi was quickly taken back to the branch office.

Meanwhile, support from the branch office also rushed over to assist the technical investigation team in collecting evidence at the scene.

Still rummaging through the trash.

Anyway, when Zhao Tianxing came back, he smelled of garbage and his face was much paler.

Did you find it?

Shen Xin was writing a case file when he asked with amusement.

Zhao Tianxing immediately raised his middle finger.

"By the way, is that grandson dead yet? Did he kill anyone before?" Zhao Tianxing asked. Shen Xin nodded.

After bringing Sun Yongxi back to the branch office, he was immediately interrogated.

Just like his admission of killing Xiao Hong, Sun Yongxi confessed decisively. Before killing Xiao Hong, he had indeed committed another crime.

It was in November 2010.

He was released from prison at the end of 06 and began wandering around in 07.

It started at Yanling.

I wandered around shopping malls and train stations.

I suffered a lot of disdain and bullying along the way.

Then in September of 2010, something happened.

“A few thugs, probably after drinking, picked a fight with him. They not only beat him up, but one of them even urinated on his head.”

Shen Xin sighed softly.

Zhao Tianxing immediately frowned, then said, "So he took revenge?"

Shen Xin nodded and said, "He was the one who committed the murder at Feilong Internet Cafe in Yanling City on November 3, 2010."

Around 11 p.m. that night, the victim, Deng Xiaojun, came out of the internet cafe and was stabbed to death in the middle of the road less than 50 meters away.

That was 10 years ago, there were few road surveillance cameras, and Feilong Internet Cafe was an illegal internet cafe located on a remote side road, so no witnesses were found when the incident occurred.

Deng Xiaojun did not die immediately. He was stabbed nine times and crawled for more than ten meters before dying from excessive blood loss.

The Yanling police also conducted a multi-faceted investigation into this case.

Because Deng Xiaojun was a petty hoodlum with complicated social connections and many enemies, the investigation went on for a long time but the murderer was never found, and the case eventually became a cold case and was shelved.

Who would have thought that the murderer would be Sun Yongxi?

It was around that time that he bought a folding knife.

After killing Deng Xiaojun, he left Yanling and came to the neighboring Nanjiang.

According to him, he had a knife in hand and had used it to threaten other homeless people and demand money from them.

Then, after the Lunar New Year, they murdered Xiao Hong and stole over four thousand yuan in cash and a mobile phone.

He sold the phone to a passing traveler for 500 yuan near the train station.

"It wouldn't be a loss to arrest him then." Zhao Tianxing snorted, then suddenly sat up straight and asked, "He's not mentally ill, is he?"

Mentioning this made Shen Xin a little depressed.

During the interrogation, it was obvious that Sun Yongxi was not quite right in the head.

It may be related to his mother's death, as well as his long-term stay indoors during childhood, which led to his overly withdrawn personality.

"I can only say I hope he's not mentally ill," Shen Xin said.

Zhao Tianxing nodded and said, "Then doesn't this mean we've solved two cold cases? Yanling should thank us properly."

The case, which started 10 years ago, is now seven years old.

Shen Xin nodded.

We've already notified Yanling; the Criminal Investigation Division will be here tomorrow.

Zhao Tianxing got up, stretched, and said, "Anyway, the case is solved, which is a good thing. I'm off work, time to go to sleep."

After saying that, he left quickly.

Shen Xin took a deep breath and continued writing the case file.

Just like Zhao Tianxing said, no matter what, it's a good thing that the case has been solved.

For everyone, this is an explanation.

The next day, Xiong Yongjian, deputy captain of the Yanling City Criminal Investigation Detachment, arrived at the branch office.

He was a middle-aged man in his forties, with graying temples and rough skin.

He and Sun Zhao seemed to be quite familiar with each other; he didn't come empty-handed, but brought two bottles of good wine.

Sun Zhao accepted it directly, but he was still not satisfied.

"We offered a reward of 200,000 to solve this case. Shouldn't Yanling show some appreciation in return?"

Xiong Yongjian immediately pretended to be confused and changed the subject, saying, "Sun Zhao, you guys are something else. What were you thinking? You even offered a reward online. The key is that you actually found the witness from six years ago."

"Our Director Li said that I need to learn from you and gain some experience."

Sun Zhao smiled and waved to Shen Xin beside him, then patted Shen Xin on the shoulder and said, "You want to learn, right? Learn from this kid. He's the one who came up with all these ideas. He's also the one who built that short video account."

The mention of short video accounts immediately made Xiong Yongjian's eyes light up.

"Young and promising."

Xiong Yongjian warmly grabbed Shen Xin's hand, his face beaming with smiles, and then said, "I've followed that account too. What's the deal with those three police dogs you filmed? Did you train them yourselves?"

Xiong Yongjian's eyes light up when he talks about police dogs.
