Detective: From the Police Academy

Chapter 245 The final truth
"Hey, when will the ambulance arrive?

"Yang Bo squatted down and shouted while checking Guan Peng's injuries.

"Ten minutes! How is he?" Chu Yang was controlling the old lady Xie Minhui.

Neither of them dared to be careless at all. They didn't expect that a murder would happen right under their noses.

Fortunately, Yang Bo acted quickly. After hearing the shout, he ran upstairs without stopping.

At this time, Xie Minhui was still shouting loudly.

"Catch him, catch him, why are you arresting me? He killed my son, he killed my son!"

Shen Chunmei on the side also calmed down. She swallowed and wanted to say something, but when she saw the scissors on Guan Peng's chest, she was frightened again and broke into a cold sweat.

Yang Bo looked at Chu Yang and said, "Hey, why are you standing there? Call Luo Da and inform him."

"Yes, yes, notify the team leader."

Until now, the two still didn't know Guan Peng's background. Chu Yang quickly took out his phone and dialed the number, but the call was suddenly hung up.

When he was getting anxious, Luo Rui and his group appeared at the door.

Seeing the situation inside, everyone was stunned with surprise.

Luo Rui immediately ordered: "Quick, carry him downstairs!"

Chu Yang briefly explained the situation, and Luo Rui looked at Xie Minhui. The old lady had disheveled hair and a fierce look in her eyes.

"Take her back and don't let anyone get close to her!"

"Understood!" Qi Lei and Tian Guanghan ran over quickly, held the old lady, and took out handcuffs.

Xie Minhui wanted to resist, but Luo Rui ignored her.

He called Fang Yonghui and Yang Bo to carry Guan Peng downstairs.

Five minutes later, the ambulance arrived. Luo Rui and Cai Xiaojing showed their credentials to the doctor and got in the car together.

The ambulance drove out of the community in the dark night.

in the car.

The doctor was checking Guan Peng's wound. There was an old pair of scissors stuck in his chest, and his hand looked like a butterfly's wings.

"Doctor, how is he doing?"

"Not too optimistic!"

The doctor only said this one sentence, then started connecting the ECG monitor and putting Guan Peng on a ventilator.

"Please, please save him!"

The doctor didn't say anything. With the help of the nurse, he began to perform first aid.

Luo Rui watched the electrocardiogram curve continue to drop, and heard a "beeping" sound in his ears.

The ambulance was driving fast on the city road. The neon lights at night penetrated through the car window and hit Guan Peng's face.

The doctor was busy for a while, then took off his mask and shook his head at Luo Rui: "He's dying!"

Luo Rui's eyes were blank for several seconds, then he blinked.

Cai Xiaojing said from the side: "He's awake!"

Guan Peng stretched out his weak right hand, took off the oxygen mask, and murmured something in a low voice.

Seeing this, Luo Rui quickly lowered his body and put his ear close to his lips.

Guan Peng grabbed his hand all of a sudden, and seemed to be holding it with all his last bit of strength.

After a few seconds, his hands dropped.

His life was like a kite with a broken string, and his consciousness flew into the void.

The doctor checked quickly and shook his head: "No breathing, no heartbeat!"

Luo Rui raised his head, and his strength seemed to be exhausted at once.

"Thank you, doctor. Please send the person to the funeral home!"

"Okay!" The doctor knocked on the front panel and informed the driver.

Cai Xiaojing noticed that Luo Rui looked strange and asked with concern: "What's wrong? What did Guan Peng say?"

"The boy Shen Lan gave birth to is Shen Hai's!"

"what?"

Cai Xiaojing was stunned and completely frightened. She couldn't react for a long time.

"She... they're not..." She couldn't get the words out.

Luo Rui had no answer, so he took out his cell phone and called Yi Chunlin.

"I have the key to the lab. I'll call Director Zhao and ask him to come with me. However, the DNA matching results won't be available until daybreak at the earliest!"

"Row!"

……

Haijiang Branch.

Xie Minhui was locked in the interrogation room and her daughter was also looked after by a female police officer.

The scene has been handed over to Du Feng, so everyone in the special criminal team has returned to the office.

Qi Lei yawned: "I didn't expect Guan Peng to appear in the old lady's house."

Chu Yang said: "Yang Bo and I have been guarding there for a whole day. How did Guan Peng get in?"

Tian Guanghan said: "I asked the security guard of the community before, and he said that he saw this guy on the rooftop these two days. The security guard thought he was a resident of the community. It is estimated that Guan Peng has been hiding on the rooftop."

"Why did Guan Peng kill the old lady?"

Qi Lei yawned again: "Who knows? I think that old lady is not a good person. She can kill people with just a pair of scissors. Have you ever seen such an old lady?"

Fang Yonghui: "I asked her daughter, Shen Chunmei said that the old lady was quite superstitious. She put a pair of scissors under her pillow to ward off evil spirits so that she could sleep well at night."

Tian Guanghan agreed, "Don't mention it, this is a weird thing. If the old lady wasn't superstitious, she wouldn't have put a pair of scissors under her pillow and stabbed Guan Peng. She would definitely not have survived tonight."

Qi Lei curled his lips and crossed his hands behind his head. "It's not that mysterious. This is just because you did something wrong and you are afraid of ghosts knocking on your door in the middle of the night."

Tian Guanghan glared at him and wanted to refute, but saw Luo Rui and Cai Xiaojing coming back, and everyone stood up immediately.

Luo Rui immediately asked: "Where is Xie Minhui?"

"In the interrogation room."

"Okay! Let's pry her mouth open now!"

Luo Rui took off his coat and prepared to change into his uniform. He glanced at Cai Xiaojing and said, "You come with me."

"Row!"

Ten minutes later, two men walked into the interrogation room with documents in their hands.

Xie Minhui had cursed enough. Her face was ashen and her eyes were closed. When she saw someone coming in, she slowly opened her eyelids.

Luo Rui noticed that the paper cup on the interrogation table was empty, and the police officer on duty did not refill her water, probably to avoid her continuous verbal abuse.

After Luo Rui sat down, Xie Minhui raised her eyes and wanted to stand up, but the police officer behind her immediately held her shoulders.

"Do not move!"

"What do you want to do? That murderer broke into my house and wanted to kill me. Why are you arresting me?"

Cai Xiaojing explained: "Xie Minhui, this is a normal inquiry by our police, please cooperate!"

"You only know how to bully us ordinary people. You have locked me up here for several hours. I am old, can I withstand such torture? Let me out! I want to see my boss."

She didn't give any face at all, nor did she care about the authority of the police, and she cursed at them by taking advantage of her seniority.

"You are such a useless person. You don't do your job all day. You can't catch the murderer, but you arrest an old woman like me. Is it so easy to be a police officer?"

……

Xie Minhui kept cursing and twisting her body back and forth in her chair.

As for such a talkative old woman, Luo Rui knew there was only one way to make her quiet and honest.

He said to the officer on duty in the interrogation room, "Put handcuffs on her!"

The police officer had been scolded for several hours and had long lost his patience. When he heard the interrogator's instructions, he didn't even ask whether he wanted to wear removable handcuffs or handcuff him directly on the interrogation table.
They chose the most direct method, holding down Xie Minhui's hands, handcuffed her to the table, and tied her to the back of the chair with a belt.

"You bunch of scum, you want to die, bullying an old woman like me, wuwu... My son is dead, and you are still bullying me like this!"

Xie Minhui burst into tears, with snot and tears streaming down her face.

Luo Rui tried to communicate with her: "Xie Minhui, can we talk?"

"Talk, I'll talk to you! After we're done, I'll go to court and sue you!"

"Row!"

Luo Rui asked the questions according to the normal procedure, and after getting the answers, he asked the first question of the case.

"Why did Guan Peng want to kill you?"

"Who? Who is Guan Peng? The man you mentioned who broke into my house in the middle of the night? How would I know who he is? It must be him. He must have killed my son's entire family! You didn't catch the murderer, but I did! Officer, you should ask him this question!"

As soon as Luo Rui heard this, he knew that this old lady was not easy to deal with. Moreover, her thinking ability was very strong and her logical ability was fine. She was not at all hysterical as she pretended to be.

"Guan Peng told me that he killed you because he wanted revenge. What revenge did he want?"

When Xie Minhui heard this, she was suddenly stunned and her eyes wandered.

"Speak! If you don't tell the truth, we police have the right to detain you, and you won't even be able to hold your son's funeral!"

Xie Minhui swallowed her saliva and asked in a low voice: "That... girl, I want to ask you, is the gangster who broke into my house dead?"

Her eyes were fixed on Cai Xiaojing, wanting her answer.

As for Luo Rui, it seemed that he caused her a lot of pressure.

Cai Xiaojing raised her head and answered seriously: "His name is Guan Peng. Before we entered the interrogation room, the doctor had already resuscitated him. He is still alive."

Xie Minhui blinked in surprise: "Ah, he didn't die even after this?"

Luo Rui stared at her closely: "You really want him to die? Why?"

"He killed my son! He didn't deserve to die? How are you a policeman?"

"Wrong! Shen Hai was killed by Shen Lan!"

Hearing this, the wrinkles on Xie Minhui's face disappeared and veins bulged.

"His chest was full of holes. Shen Lan stabbed him one by one. He died a horrible death!"

"That bitch, did she do it? Oh, that bitch, I said, she is not a human being, she even killed the parents who raised her, is she a human being?"

"Damn it, I really shouldn't have wanted her in the first place!"

Luo Rui heard the crux of the matter: "Isn't Shen Lan the biological child of Shen Hai and Peng Ruzhen?"

Hearing this, Xie Minhui immediately shut up.

"We will be able to find out the truth about this matter sooner or later. Technology is very advanced now. We are already doing DNA testing and will have the results soon. Old lady, don't waste our time and don't talk nonsense with us. Just tell us the truth." Luo Rui guessed that Xie Minhui must have thought that the police did not have too many clues, so she had been playing the innocent role and was fearless. Now when asked about the key points of the case, her face changed many times.

Luo Rui continued, "We found out that in the early morning of March 2003, 3, Shen Lan gave birth to a baby boy in the hospital. She went there alone without any family members to accompany her. Later, you took the child away, right?"

"Where is the child now? Is he still alive?"

Xie Minhui's body trembled several times, her face was gloomy, but she remained silent.

Luo Rui and Cai Xiaojing looked at each other. He felt a pang in his heart. Xie Minhui's silence was very abnormal.

His heart sank, and he asked, "Did you kill that child?"

Luo Rui felt that his voice had changed and his tone was trembling.

Silence, deathly silence.

After a long while, Xie Minhui looked at the police officer standing on the right and asked, "Young man, could you please pour me a glass of water?"

The police officer glanced at Luo Rui, and Luo Rui nodded.

After pouring the water, the police officer also put a straw into the cup.

Xie Minhui lowered her head and drank a few sips, then closed her eyes, then opened them again and said slowly: "Xiao Lan is not my biological granddaughter, she was adopted by my daughter-in-law Peng Ruzhen.

My son and daughter-in-law have been married for several years, but they don't have any children. A hospital check-up didn't reveal any health problems, so they thought about adopting a child.

At first they wanted a boy, but which family would be willing to give a boy away?

When Xiaolan came home, she was only half a year old. My son and daughter-in-law treated her very well and raised her like their own daughter.

I discovered this very late, when my little grandson Xinxin had already been born.

I noticed that Peng Ruzhen looked unhappy and she often quarreled with Shen Hai, and the atmosphere at home was getting worse and worse.

Finally, Ruzhen told me what happened, and after Xiaolan grew up, she came to see me privately many times!
But I am too embarrassed to say it out loud when something like this happened!

My son runs such a big business and the whole family depends on him for a living, and he often helps his brother and sister, right?
I can’t destroy this family, and Ruzhen must think so too, so we just endure it silently…”

"You've been enduring this silently?!" Cai Xiaojing's whole body stiffened, and she felt as if all the blood in her body had frozen. "It's not you who are enduring this!"

Luo Rui suppressed his inner impulse, patted her hands and calmed her down.

Xie Minhui continued: "At the end of 2002, Xiaolan came to see me again. She was already in college at that time. She cried to me and begged me to save her. She opened her clothes and I found out that she was pregnant! Because it was winter and she was wearing a down jacket, I didn't see it at first.

I was really scared. Her belly was already very obvious and it was impossible for her to have surgery. What could I do? I could only ask her to stay at my house first. The due date was in March of the following year. I packed up my things and asked her to go to the hospital..."

Luo Rui asked: "Why didn't you go with us?"

Xie Minhui sighed: "Because I was a vegetarian during those days and couldn't see blood."

"Where's the kid?"

Xie Minhui was silent for a long time, and then replied: "Officer, don't ask about the child. I can only tell you that it is my son's bloodline. I didn't kill the child!"

Suddenly, Luo Rui slammed the table, and the documents on the table jumped up due to the vibration.

"Xie Minhui, I'm telling you, you're helping the evil! Shen Lan has been asking you for help for so many years, why didn't you help her? You're also a woman, are you just going to watch her bear such a tragic fate?"

"Misery?" Xie Minhui suddenly laughed: "Officer, you have never been poor, have you? She eats and drinks from our Shen family, and we support her to go to college, what else do you want? Haven't you seen her original family? They are so poor, and in that mountain, they don't even have the conditions to go to school!"

"Officer, you just said that Shen Lan killed her family? Killed my son? Is that true?"

Luo Rui did not answer her, but asked again: "Tell me, where is the child?"

Xie Minhui turned her face away and started playing dumb again.

No matter how Luo Rui asked, she just wouldn't say a word.

It was already after midnight and daybreak was approaching.

Luo Rui and Cai Xiaojing left the interrogation room, and Du Feng and Wei Qunshan walked out of the observation room.

Both of them shook their heads, sighing over this tragic incident of an entire family being wiped out.

Du Feng said: "Although this old woman acted in self-defense, she did commit murder. We can keep her in custody for a while. We are not afraid that she will not speak."

Wei Qunshan nodded, looked at Luo Rui, and patted him on the shoulder: "Well done! Although the murderer is dead, the case has been solved. You should organize the files and send them to the procuratorate."

"Okay!" Luo Rui replied, a little listlessly.

"Go ahead, everyone go take a break."

Luo Rui and Cai Xiaojing returned to the office. The other team members were still there. Some were asleep on the table, while others were looking at the materials in their hands.

Seeing them come back, everyone woke up.

Qi Lei rubbed his eyes and checked the time: "It's five o'clock in the morning!"

Fang Yonghui had been up all night, his eyes were red, he looked at Luo Rui: "Luo Da, did this old woman confess?"

Luo Rui nodded, exhaled, and said, "The situation is roughly clear now."

Hearing him say this, Chu Yang immediately asked: "Team Leader, the person is dead, there is no direct confession or witness, we don't know how to write this file, can you tell us?"

"Row!"

Luo Rui stood up and walked to the clue board: "I am just speculating out of thin air. There may be some mistakes in the details, but based on the two sentences Guan Peng said before his death, the final result should be correct. Director Zhao will have to re-investigate the scene afterwards."

"Guan Peng said he only killed one person, Shen Xin. He also told me whose child Shen Lan gave birth to. Late at night on November 11th..."

Shen Lan stayed in her bedroom as usual. To her, this home was like a devil's den.

She endured for many years, enduring endless torture...

In fact, she had long wanted to escape, escape far away, but there was always something in her heart that she couldn't let go.

That was the child she gave birth to five years ago.

The child was taken away by the grandmother and then handed over to that beast. Shen Lan asked about the whereabouts of the child many times but received no answer.

This is her weakness and the reason why she continues to live in this world.

She stood in the bathroom, looking at herself in the mirror. Her face was pale, like a little white rabbit.

The child must be found!

Take the children and escape from this place, hide far away, and start a new life.

In order to pry open their mouths, Shen Lan took out a plastic bag from the cabinet under the sink.

After opening the plastic bag, she found the fruit knife she bought today.

Holding the hilt of the knife tightly, Shen Lan's whole body was trembling, but when she thought of the misfortune she had suffered, her blood began to boil.

She put the knife on the countertop, took out a rubber band, tied her hair, then picked up the knife again, walked out of the bedroom barefoot.

She thought she should change her clothes. Wearing a black dress would restrict her movements.

But she knew that if she continued to hesitate, she would lose her courage.

After walking out of the bedroom, Shen Lan saw that the bedroom diagonally opposite was open and her younger brother Shen Xin was playing games inside.

She just glanced at it and then walked downstairs barefoot.

She saw the man sitting at the dining table, holding a pen in his hand, writing something on a piece of paper.

Peng Ruzhen stood aside and watched him sign his name. She sneered and said, "That's it. We will live our own lives from now on!"

There were two copies of the divorce agreement. Peng Ruzhen took her own copy, folded it, and put it in her pocket.

"I'll make two dishes for our last dinner!"

After Peng Ruzhen finished speaking, she looked at Shen Lan, and a look of deep contempt and viciousness flashed in her eyes.

Shen Lan clearly remembers how she viewed herself over the years.

Ignoring and indifference are the greatest harm!

Peng Ruzhen snorted coldly, as if she had seen something dirty, turned around and went to the kitchen, and closed the door.

Shen Lan put the knife behind her back and slowly walked towards him.

He frowned slightly, dragged his chair and turned around.

"Xiaolan, you've seen it too. Your mother and I are divorced. We can live together in the future..."

Shen Lan's heart sank to the bottom. She had originally planned to ask about the whereabouts of the child, but now, seeing his face, grievance and anger burned in her heart like a spark.

She pulled her hand out from behind, gripped the hilt of the knife tightly, and stabbed it in.

The back of the chair was against the dining table, so he did not fall over.

Shen Lan pulled out the knife and continued to stab. She stabbed several times. All she could see was blood spurting out, which sounded as pleasant as the sound of the wind.

He started running towards the living room, yelling.

Shen Lan ignored him, walked to the kitchen, opened the door, and walked behind Peng Ruzhen.

She had already noticed something unusual in the dining room. As soon as she turned around, she felt a chill on her neck.

Suddenly, the carotid artery in the neck was cut, and blood spurted onto the kitchen counter like a faucet being turned on.

Shen Lan breathed rapidly and felt her adrenaline surge.

She returned to the dining room with a knife in hand and saw the man collapsed on the sofa, while her brother Shen Xin was standing on the stairs, staring at her.

Then, Shen Xin rushed over like a madman.

Shen Lan ran around the dining room and then ran upstairs. When she reached the third floor, she was caught up by Shen Xin. His brother knocked her to the ground, lifted her head and slammed it hard on the ground.

Afterwards, he was still not satisfied, so he pulled out the electric wire on the coffee table, wrapped it around Shen Lan's neck, and strangled her to death.

After doing all this, Shen Xin was also shocked.

He calmed down, then returned to his bedroom and continued playing the game...

"After that, Guan Peng came to the villa and saw the situation on the first floor. When he found Shen Lan, she was already dead. He knew what happened without asking. So, he picked up the knife that Shen Lan dropped, pushed open Shen Xin's bedroom, and killed Shen Xin.

Guan Peng should know about Shen Lan's situation, and I think he erased the traces of Shen Lan's murder because he didn't want Shen Lan to be blamed."

After hearing Luo Rui's speculation, everyone sighed, as if the scene of the crime was happening right in front of their eyes.

Qi Lei raised his hand: "Guan Peng has the key to the villa? How did he get in?"

"It's not clear yet, and we need to investigate further. In addition, Guan Peng should have known that Shen Lan was pregnant and the child was his, so he killed her. He then wanted to continue committing crimes and wait for an opportunity to kill Xie Minhui. He should have wanted to find the whereabouts of the child."

Cai Xiaojing crossed her arms, her face somewhat sad: "He probably wanted to fulfill Shen Lan's last wish."

Qi Lei suddenly thought of something: "No wonder Peng Ruzhen would choose a lover so young. She must have been influenced. What the hell are these two people?"

Luo Rui let out a breath, stood up and looked at the photo on the clue board. Shen Lan's appearance seemed to have changed, and her facial lines seemed to have become softer.

Her eyes were fixed directly on the detective present.

It's already bright outside the window.

The autumn sun rose, and a ray of crimson light came in from the window and shone on her face...
