You're supposed to be a security officer, what case are you solving?

Chapter 65 The Hidden Corner!
"what is her name?"

"I...I don't know."

He Jinbo gritted his teeth: "Did you kill him?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Dayong immediately replied, "Officer..."

"Don't call me 'comrade'! Who's your comrade?!" Zheng Kang shouted. "Answer the question directly!"

Wu Dayong's face froze, and he shook his head vigorously: "I...I just said that Yang Hong killed the person. He cut the woman's throat."

At that time... at that time, blood... blood was everywhere!
I...I was terrified too..."

He Jinbo said, "Tell me from the beginning: how did you plan to kill them? Who came up with the idea? Who broke down the door? What tools did you bring?!"

Wu Dayong not only stumbled over his words, but his body was also trembling so much that his clenched fists kept pounding the table.

He paused for several minutes before speaking: "It's...it's Wang Caixia. She and her husband were laid off at the beginning of the year and had no income, so Wang Caixia went to sell silver."

Yang Hong and I often played mahjong at Liu Dong's place. Liu Dong was an organizer of selling silver, and Wang Caixia was his partner. They were cousins.

A few days ago, Wang Caixia told us that the owner of a noodle shop on Jianmin Road is quite wealthy and even feeds her child imported milk powder.

Yang Hong joked that since he was so rich, he could ask her for some money to spend.

I didn't pay attention at the time, but two days later, Wang Caixia and Yang Hong came to me and asked if I dared to go out and do a job.

I asked, "How do we do it?" Wang Caixia said, "Go to the noodle shop owner's house and get some money."

I didn't want to go at first. I wasn't laid off, unlike Wang Caixia who had no income. Yang Hong had just been released from labor camp and didn't have any money. The money she used to play mahjong was borrowed from me.

But Yang Hong said it was just a burglary; they would find the money and leave. The police weren't that powerful and wouldn't be able to find them. Besides, they didn't know the noodle shop owner or her family.

And just like that, I agreed.

On the night of the 14th, Yang Hong and I played mahjong at Liu Dong's place as usual. Wang Caixia went to follow that woman, and as soon as she went home, Wang Caixia would come back to inform us.

It wasn't until 11 p.m. that Wang Caixia came to find us. I rode my motorcycle with Yang Hong and Wang Caixia and went to Wutong Lane..."

At this point, He Jinbo interrupted him: "What time was it?"

"I don't know, I didn't check the time."

"You go on."

"At that time, the lights were off in the house, and the woman must have been asleep. Yang Hong then asked Wang Caixia to go to the alley entrance to keep watch."

We covered our faces with Wang Caixia's silk scarf, and then Yang Hong shone a flashlight on me while I used the crowbar I had brought to pry open the door..."

"How many times did you pry it open?"

"Two times."

What happens after you enter?

"Yang Hong rushed in first and just happened to run into the woman standing at the door of the room. Yang Hong immediately restrained her and asked her where she kept the money."

Did she tell you?

Wu Dayong nodded: "She didn't say anything at first, but when Yang Hong took out the knife, she started talking."

He Jinbo asked, "Did you take the money first, then rape Zhang Xiaoying, and finally kill her?"

"Yes."

"What did you do after you got the money?"

“I thought that was enough after I got the money, but who knew that Yang Hong saw that the woman was pretty, so she dragged her back into the house and tied her hands behind her back with a rope…”

"Stop here!"

Zheng Kang stared intently at Wu Dayong and asked, "Did the victim struggle at the time?"

Wu Dayong shook his head: "No."

"She didn't struggle at all?" "It seems not. Yang Hong even said that this girl was very obedient, didn't make a sound, and didn't seem interested at all. Moreover, she even tried to push forward, saying that she would cooperate with Yang Hong if they went to the main room."

But Yang Hong ignored her, pulled down her pants, and stuffed them into her mouth.

Upon hearing this, Zheng Kang raised his head, rubbed his forehead, and glanced back, his eyes meeting Yang Jinwen's.

He clearly remembered that earlier that day, on the way to make the arrest, Yang Jinwen asked Wang Caixia if she had heard any shouts from inside the house at the time of the incident.

Zheng Kang couldn't bear to hear Zhang Xiaoying's desperate cries, so he sternly reprimanded her.

Moreover, Yang Jinwen said that this clue was very important.

Now Zheng Kang finally understands why Yang Jinwen asked that question back then.

Seeing that his eyes were glazed over, He Jinbo was about to continue the interrogation when Zheng Kang tugged at his arm.

Zheng Kang stared intently at Wu Dayong and asked, word by word, "After you broke in, besides the victim Zhang Xiaoying, was there anyone else?"

"other people?"

Wu Dayong repeated the sentence, then his eyes widened in surprise.

"Have you seen that child? Have you? Answer me!"

Zheng Kang's emotions suddenly erupted. Before He Jinbo could stop him, he suppressed his emotions, clenched his fists tightly, and the veins on his arms bulged.

Wu Dayong immediately realized: "Oh right, and the child... Wang Caixia said that this woman brings the child home every night..."

At that moment, everyone in the interrogation room immediately understood.

When Zhang Xiaoying saw Yang Hong show off the knife, she immediately revealed where she had hidden the money and begged them not to harm her in the room.

At the time, she did not resist at all, and even cooperated with these two beasts!

Even when subjected to the greatest humiliation, even when her throat was cruelly slit by the murderer, she remained silent, clenching her teeth and not uttering a sound.

Because the child, the child is inside the house!
The criminal investigation team of the Chengbei Branch carefully examined the scene.

Inside that bed was a bamboo cradle, where the child named Fanfan must have been sleeping.

Because there was a mosquito net hanging on the bed, it was not easy to be discovered.

Throughout the entire process of Zhang Xiaoying's murder, she never thought about how to save her own life, but only about how to prevent the two murderers from discovering her child!

She protected that young life until her death.

She saved the child!

Thinking of this, not only Zheng Kang and He Jinbo, but also Jiang Jianbing and Xu Guoliang had red eyes, some with their hands on their hips, some with their heads down, and some with their faces turned away.

They struggled to suppress the turbulent emotions surging within them.

Yang Jinwen stood in the corner, his face upturned, his eyes fixed on the ceiling.

In the early hours of the day the incident occurred, how desperate must a frail mother be? Even in hell, she was still thinking of her child.

How desperate she must have been before she died!

Imagining the scene of the crime, Yang Jinwen felt suffocated, a feeling of air stuck in his chest.

He took a deep breath.

May your spirit in heaven see that we have cleared your name.

Yang Jinwen seemed to see Zhang Xiaoying's face on the ceiling. The image of her carrying the child on her back that night at the noodle shop appeared in his mind again.

Immediately, he heard Zheng Kang lose control of his emotions and rush towards Wu Dayong in a rage, but he was held back by He Jinbo and others...

"I fuck your mother!"
