Reborn in 1995, Criminal Investigation Records

As Zhou Yang reviewed Ren Fu's statement, he had to admit that even though he had anticipated it, the way the murderer said it still shocked the investigators.

Why put the deceased's hands and feet onto the model? In Ren Fu's words, it's because these women are beautiful but ruthless. He misses the days he spent with them and misses every inch of their skin.

But it was that filthy mind and filthy body that stained everything. He wanted to purify them; these filthy bodies would only ruin his artwork.

As for why he destroyed Zhao Jun's fingerprints, face, and birthmark, Ren Fu's answer was that Zhao Jun was different from them. Li Hanlu, Ruan Jinyin, and Lin Feifei deserved to be pointed at and gossiped about by the world even after they died.

But the innocent Zhao Jun should not be treated this way, so he thought of keeping Zhao Jun's identity a mystery forever.

"That's utter rubbish!" Zhou Yang cursed. "Rubbish logic! Just because you don't want to, you're going to peel off my skin and disfigure my face. If you really don't want to, then why don't you just not do it?"

As for why he returned to the scene, it was because he guessed the police's investigative approach based on some information. Since it was his first time handling a case, he was afraid of leaving too many clues, so he dressed up and returned to the scene to sweep away the cigarette butts he had left there.

Including the locks of this household, which he took and swapped with the locks of the neighboring family who only came home for holidays.

As for whether the other party will frequently return after learning about the terrible events that occurred in the house next door, that remains to be seen.

When Zhou Yang arrived in the courtyard, he saw Wang Chao squatting in a corner, squinting and puffing out smoke.

Seeing Zhou Yang approach, the other man grinned, stretched out his right leg, and pulled a cigarette from his pocket, handing it to him: "Calm down!"

Zhou Yang paused for a moment, then lit the cigarette. The pungent smoke entered his lungs, and his eyes glazed over for a fleeting instant.

There are still many doubts in this case, but to be honest, he's not very interested anymore. He's obsessed with catching the murderer, and he's not really interested in the murderer's motives, except for the needs of the case.

Especially in cases of serial murder committed with such a wicked intent, no matter how you try to whitewash it, the act of killing cannot be erased.

The rest is up to my colleagues. They will definitely do their best to ensure the case isn't rejected by the authorities.

With this thought in mind, Zhou Yang continued smoking and felt his body becoming lighter and lighter.

Immediately afterward, a series of footsteps interrupted his thoughts, and Fang Duo accompanied Ren Jing out of the police station.

Fang Duo glanced at the two people squatting together, and after recognizing Zhou Yang, she glared at Wang Chao reproachfully. The meaning in her eyes couldn't be clearer: "You've corrupted me!"

When Zhou Yang saw that it was Ren Jing, he stubbed out his cigarette butt under Wang Chao's distressed gaze and asked, "Sister Ren, are we going back?"

"Well, Officer Zhou, no matter what, Xiao Fu is my own brother. I watched him grow up since he was a child..." Ren Jing said, a trace of sorrow on her face.

"Are they shoes?" Zhou Yang asked.

"What?" Ren Jing was taken aback.

"You must have noticed something was wrong with his shoes back then. When we searched for them, we found that the shoes were missing, right?" Zhou Yang looked at the other person.

"I'm sorry, I still can't accept that my brother is the murderer. He's just a child..." Ren Jing's eyes welled up with tears again, and her voice was tinged with sobs.

Zhou Yang pretended not to see it: "Do you know why Ren Fu has recovered but is still in a wheelchair?"

Ren Jing looked at her with a hint of doubt. She really didn't know this. Because of this, she thought the other party was preparing a surprise for her, so she didn't expose her. She even bought the other party a pair of brand-name sneakers to encourage her.

Although she noticed a tiny red mark on the heel of the shoes.

Although she didn't tell anyone and just secretly wiped them off for him, the shoes were indeed gone today.

"Because he hasn't finished killing the people he wants to kill!" Zhou Yang looked at the woman in front of him, who had forgotten how to sob. "He still needs this wheelchair identity to deal with the last remaining person, the only one who knows the truth!"

After saying that, he called for Wang Chao to leave, without looking at Ren Jing again.

This may sound harsh, but if Ruan Jinyin and Lin Feifei hadn't been discovered in time, they probably wouldn't have survived much longer, given that they were already unconscious.

People who pretend to be deaf and dumb for the sake of their own loved ones, while putting others in danger, do not deserve sympathy.

......

"Bang!" Liu Chengyu slammed the case file in his hand heavily on the table, picked up the tea mug, found it was empty, and angrily slammed it on the table again.

For a moment, no one dared to utter a sound in the room. After exchanging glances for a while, they finally focused their attention on Dai Yan, since he had just been interrogating Liu Da.

"Mental illness!" Liu Chengyu sighed, slumped into a chair, and shakily pulled out a crumpled cigarette pack from his pocket, only to find it was already empty.

"Ren confessed that he cooked and ate the internal organs. This was something a quack doctor from his childhood had told him that could cure diseases!" Liu Chengyu said, his anger blazing.

Although once their task force solves the case, completes the supplementary materials, and has solid evidence, the rest is no longer their concern.

But he felt extremely displeased that such a vicious and ruthless person, whom he had gone to great lengths to capture, was not sentenced to death because of his mental illness.

Because the law stipulates that mentally ill persons cannot be prosecuted unless it can be confirmed that the other party was mentally sound at the time of the crime, but this proof is too difficult.

"He said he's a lunatic?" Fang Duo frowned when she heard this after returning.

"Yes, he said he was diagnosed with some mental problems when he was a child!" Dai Yan said, spreading out his palms with a bitter expression.

"When and where was the diagnosis made?" Xiao Jiale immediately seized on the loophole in the other person's words: "In 79, the country's criminal law only stipulated the relevant procedures for forensic examination, and it wasn't until 89 that a unified forensic examination system was established! So..."

"So whether Ren Fu says he has a mental illness now or that he had a mental illness when he was a child, it doesn't matter to us whether he has one or not. The most important thing is that it needs to be recognized by a professional institution!" Dai Yan adjusted his glasses, looking somewhat agitated.

After a short while, Liu Chengyu's expression softened. He awkwardly picked up the teacup and slowly poured hot water into it using the teapot.

The steaming water obscured his face: "Actually, these are all matters for the prosecution. Our work is just finishing up. Some things are beyond human control!"

These words seemed to be spoken to everyone, but also to himself.

Zhou Yang rode his old bicycle home, and before he even entered the house, he could hear cheerful laughter coming from inside his own home in the hallway.

The fact that the sounds from the third floor could reach the first floor speaks volumes about the cheerful atmosphere.
