Reborn in 1995, Criminal Investigation Records

"So, you mean that Lin Feifei angered the murderer by writing down her past experiences and wanting to publish them!" Xiao Jiale excitedly summarized after listening to Zhou Yang's explanation.

"Then what is it?" Wang Chao exclaimed.

"Yes! The murderer is the person Lin Feifei described, the one who least wanted things to be exposed!" Dai Yan flipped through the magazine without looking up.

"But with nearly 200 million permanent residents in Ning'an, where are we going to find this murderer?" Wang Chao's excitement cooled instantly. He took out a crumpled cigarette pack from his pocket and lit it with a snap.

"Easy to find!" Dai Yan held up the magazine in his hand. "That person should be her classmate, a boy, who recently attempted suicide and is now using a wheelchair!"

That would be...!

Many people have one name in mind – Ren Fu!

This person is Ren Jing's younger brother. Years ago, for some unknown reason, he became disabled and lost his ability to work, and could only rely on a wheelchair.

Many people had memorized the contents of the case file, so when Dai Yan only mentioned it, they instantly came up with the answer.

After investigating Zhao Jun and Li Hanlu's identities and connections, as well as their relationship with Wu Jinhua, the group began to investigate the network of relationships among them. Ren Fu came into the group's view at that time, but due to his health condition, he was immediately ruled out.

The first body was someone sweeping sugar, and the second body was someone riding a bicycle; neither of them seemed to have anything to do with a person in a wheelchair.

"If that's the case, then this Ren Fu..." Wang Chao slammed his hand on the table, his voice trembling with excitement, "Hired a murderer! That bastard, he actually hired a murderer!"

Everyone raised their hands to their foreheads, and Xiao Jiale reminded them, "Brother Chao, whose employer allowed the murderer to dismember the body and arrange the remains...?"

"They paid too much..." Wang Chao instinctively wanted to retort, but seeing the unfriendly expressions on everyone's faces, he had no choice but to shut up.

"Is he faking it?" Liu Chengyu looked at Zhou Yang.

"It might have been true before, but killing Zhao Jun aroused his physical urges!" Zhou Yang speculated.

Zhou Yang has Ren Fu's diagnosis report in his hand, which shows that the work done at the time was thorough. It shows that there was a burst fracture at the thoracolumbar junction (T12-L1) with incomplete spinal cord injury.

This incompleteness is the problem. If it were completely damaged, he would never be able to stand up again, or even control his central nervous system, and would be unable to be a man.

However, the biggest challenge is that all of this is still just speculation, and there is no evidence to prove it.

"Glasses, you've been looking at it for so long, what does it say?" Wang Chao asked, nudging Dai Yan, who was still flipping through a magazine, with his shoulder as everyone quieted down.

"It's similar to Zhou Yang's previous speculation, but it also explains a few points!" Dai Yan looked up: "First of all, the girls went to catch cicada nymphs that night, and later they accidentally discovered someone doing 'that' in the wild. Just as they were about to leave, the other party actually came up to them and gave them some benefits..."

"And that boy lost his abilities due to the drugs, so he jumped off the building. He didn't die, but he broke his leg!" Dai Yan said, his eyes filled with astonishment as he looked at Zhou Yang.

Zhou Yang had read these magazines in the car earlier. Many of the events in them were recorded by Lin Feifei in the form of novels, but there were also some vague parts, such as the death of the fruit shop owner and Zhao Jun's imprisonment, which were not written.

However, the most important condition was retained: the man lost his ability to work, but survived and ended up in a wheelchair.

In Zhou Yang's view, this might be the reason for her disappearance.

......

After careful analysis and judgment, everyone unanimously agreed that Ren Fu was a prime suspect in the crime.

Based on the unusual information Fang Duo and Zhou Yang brought back about Ren Jing, the task force decided to place Ren Jing under 24-hour surveillance.

The other two teams were divided into two groups: one to find key clues and the other to continue searching for the missing Lin Feifei and Ruan Jinyin, creating the illusion that the police still did not know the murderer.

"I think we should just go find that kid, pick him up and see if his legs are still usable!" Wang Chao had just bought cigarettes and handed one to Zhou Yang.

Zhou Yang waved his hand in refusal: "Without evidence, even if he can leave, what does that prove?"

Wang Chao muttered as he lit a cigarette: "Liu Dajing is planning to find those witnesses and those thugs on the motorcycle. Hopefully, it'll be effective!"

Zhou Yang nodded, but he didn't have high hopes. He knew that ordinary people who hadn't been trained had a very small chance of seeing through the disguise. Moreover, due to repeated recollections, they might even imagine things that didn't exist, which could sometimes hinder the investigation.

"How is it?" A deliberately lowered voice sounded beside the two of them, and Xiao Jiale bent down and came to them.

"Why are you here?" Wang Chao glared at the other person.

"Don't rush, Glasses Bro is watching from behind!" Xiao Jiale shrank his neck. He really disliked people giving him nicknames, like "Police Chief". On the other hand, he was quite familiar with calling Dai Yan.

"Don't worry, there are guards on three sides. Unless this guy can burrow underground, he won't escape our encirclement!" Xiao Jiale said, then looked intently at Zhou Yang: "I have an idea!"

Because of the distance, and since it was Ren Jing's work hours, and the distance between them wasn't far, I went to Ren Jing's place and found her bicycle in a secluded corner.

Therefore, he specifically checked Ren Jing's shift schedule. If Ren Fu was the murderer, then it was highly likely that Ren Jing's bicycle was the vehicle Ren Fu used to dispose of the body on the road near the Xiangjiang Restaurant that morning.

If the fingerprints of the motorcycle thugs are found on that bicycle, does that mean that Ren Fu is the murderer?

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yang slapped his thigh. How come he hadn't thought of that?

"It's feasible, this idea is feasible, as long as he didn't... wipe the bicycle beforehand!" At this point, he was a little uneasy. After all, this guy even cleaned up the cigarette butts at the scene, so would he leave such a big flaw on the bicycle?

Finally, after Xiao Jiale's report, a few people from the technical team came and thoroughly examined the bicycle inside and out. Why not push it back to the station?

The main concern was that Ren Jing might notice something amiss and potentially tip off the killer, making things more difficult for the police.

As expected, there was only Ren Jing's fingerprint on it.

"Damn it, be careful!" Wang Chao cursed.

However, unlike Wang Chao's attitude, Zhou Yang's brows showed a hint of joy.

"Yangzi, you're trying to solve a case because you're delusional? How come you didn't find anything wrong with the tests? You're just having a good laugh." Wang Chao stuffed a cigarette butt into his mouth and waved his hand back and forth in front of Zhou Yang.

"I had some doubts before, but now I can be sure!" Zhou Yang said, looking at his clenched fist.

"Brother Chao, imagine you have a family of three, a bicycle, and in just half a month, would you have only a few scattered fingerprints on it?" Zhou Yang said with a smile to Wang Chao.

"No way!" Wang Chao shook his head after a moment's thought. Even if he had only ridden it for two days, there wouldn't be just a few fingerprints on the handlebars. Putting everything else aside, just the actions of pushing, riding, parking, and locking the bike would leave more than a few fingerprints.

"You mean?" Wang Chao's face lit up with joy.

Zhou Yang nodded: "He didn't dare gamble, he didn't dare gamble that there weren't any of those thugs' fingerprints on it, but he couldn't separate them, so he could only wipe it all off, even though it would arouse our suspicion, but he had no other choice!"
