Reborn in 1995, Criminal Investigation Records

"Did you figure anything out from your previous conversations?" Fang Duo spoke up in the silent carriage, as they were still some distance from the station.

Zhou Yang nodded: "Do you remember when I asked Yao Fengshou why Zhong Tao had decided to release Gong Xiaojun, what was his answer?"

"I know!" Fang Duo continued, "He said this has nothing to do with Zhong Tao, and he doesn't want anyone to die or anything!"

"No!" Zhou Yang shook his head: "The order is wrong!"

"order?"

Fang Duo opened her mouth slightly and looked at Zhou Yang: "Me?"

After receiving an affirmative answer, she recalled, "He must have said he didn't want him to die..."

"Yes!" Zhou Yang clapped his hands. "Right here! He first hurriedly denied wanting Gong Xiaojun dead, then seemed to realize something and said that this had nothing to do with Zhong Tao, and then he lost control of his emotions!"

Finally, Zhou Yang repeated once again: "The order cannot be messed up! Absolutely not!"

Fang Duo solemnly replied, "I understand!"

"Are you absolutely certain that Zhong Tao and Yao Fengshou are the ones who kidnapped Gong Xiaojun?!"

Zhou Yang shook his head and pinched the bridge of his nose: "Investigating cases requires evidence, and we have no evidence!"

Fang Duo turned her head and glanced at the boy who was half-lying down, holding onto the handrail with one hand. She always felt that Zhou Yang seemed to be hiding something in his heart.

Why do you seem so burdened with worries at such a young age?

After a moment of internal grumbling, Fang Duo ignored it, lightly pressed down on her foot, and sped the car toward the Municipal Bureau.

Upon arriving at the Municipal Public Security Bureau, before the car had even come to a complete stop, Zhou Yang opened the door, jumped out, and immediately headed to the evidence room to search for physical evidence from the 7.6 case.

The hacksaw, fire tongs, and other tools were all there. Finally, he pulled out three bags. One of them contained a baseball cap, another contained a long hair, and the last one contained a pair of brown sunglasses.

Liu Da went to find Gong Hongxing but hasn't returned yet. Although Zhou Yang has applied for official promotion, he is still a trainee police officer.

"I'll go with you!" Fang Duo appeared at the door of the evidence room at some point and said to Zhou Yang, who was staring blankly at the objects.

"Very good!" With these things in hand, Zhou Yang and Fang Duo set off for the detention center.

According to procedure, once the bureau transfers the case to the procuratorate, it signifies the end of the public security organ's right to proactively investigate the case.

Unless the supervisory authority returns the case, requesting the bureau to conduct further investigation.

Fortunately, the case file has just been sent to the prosecution, and the warrant for changing custody should not have been delivered to the detention center yet, so we can take advantage of the time difference.

Gong Xiaojun died yesterday, and Ren Fu had been in the detention center for several days, so they did not have the time to commit the crime. Zhou Yang's questioning was to clarify the connection between the two cases. Whether it can be used as evidence is irrelevant.

The detention center and the municipal bureau are located in the same compound, connected by a small internal passageway.

It's an old building, which is convenient for interrogation and escort, and also allows for resource sharing in terms of security.

"Oh? Didn't you say you wouldn't see me? Why are you here today?" Ren Fu was brought in handcuffed, and his eyes lit up when he saw Zhou Yang.

Zhou Yang didn't waste any words and directly placed several photos in front of the other person: "These things are yours, right?"

Ren Fu didn't care. His handcuffed hands jingled on the table as he picked up the photo and glanced at it: "It's mine!"

"Where did you go on July 6th?" Fang Duo asked.

"July 6th, July 6th..." Ren Fu muttered, a hint of reminiscence in his eyes: "First, we went to that small courtyard, carried out Zhao Jun's limbs and the model's body, then found some tools and rushed to Xiangjiang Square. Luckily, I had dealt with it beforehand, otherwise, there would definitely have been blood and all that along the way..."

Zhou Yang tapped the table with his knuckles: "When did you go to see Yao Fengshou?"

"Who?" Ren Fu's mouth opened slightly, a fleeting look of confusion crossing his face. "Who did you say?"

"Yao Fengshou, that's the guy at the grain recycling station!"

"Oh, him!" Ren Fu realized. "He was just doing his duty, nothing more! He was just helping out!"

"Who sent you? And who did you pass the message on to?" Fang Duo raised her head, her eyes fixed on Ren Fu.

"I don't know!" Ren Fu thought for a moment, then shook his head and replied, "That person just left a note saying that there was my DNA in the square, and that I should disguise it and dispose of it. Then they asked me to help them find out someone's physical characteristics..."

"What do you need me to inquire about?" Zhou Yang leaned forward slightly, his eyes fixed on Ren Fu.

"I forgot!" Ren Fu frowned and slapped his forehead. "Why weren't you there when I saw you? My memory's been bad these past few days!"

"Go ahead!" Fang Duo slammed her hand on the table, her tone stern. "Watch your attitude!"

"What's wrong with my attitude?" Ren Fu looked at Fang Duo, unable to hide his sarcasm. "Besides, I've already confessed my crimes. Unless you tell me who else has died?"

Zhou Yang glanced at Ren Fu, then stood up: "Let's go, Sister Duoduo!"

As he was about to leave, Zhou Yang turned to look at Ren Fu, who was still sitting there: "This is most likely the last time we'll see each other. In the next life, be a good person!"

Ren Fu grinned, "Thank you for your kind words!"

......

"Sister Duoduo, calm down. It's not worth it. Besides, didn't we already get the information we wanted to know?" After getting in the car, Zhou Yang could only try to comfort Fang Duo, who was still fuming.

"But..." Fang Duo said, then sighed, "That's true, we can't expect someone to be kind even when they're about to die!"

Then, the small space fell silent again.

This trip left both of them feeling even heavier.

If what Ren Fu said is true, then it means that there is someone behind him who helped him commit crimes, and this person is also related to the current Gong Xiaojun case.

The most troublesome thing is that the other party not only knows some counter-surveillance knowledge, but also helps these criminals to complete their crimes.

Good result! The murderer in the Gong Xiaojun case is this person, and he will be brought to justice!

The worst-case scenario—soon afterward, the Gong Xiaojun case was solved, and the murderer was still not this person!

"Where do we go next?" Fang Duo finally spoke after a long silence.

"Zhong Tao!" Zhou Yang exclaimed, "Find Zhong Tao! If Zhong Tao was the one who tried to harm Gong Xiaojun at the end of last month, what was his motive?"

The two men were clear about their motives, but knowing them was one thing, and hearing them from the other's mouth was another.

When the two had previously investigated Gong Xiaojun's social connections, they learned that he was involved in a Q-snake incident. It was highly likely that the victim was Zhong Yue. However, according to the investigation at the time, Gong Xiaojun had a complete alibi.

But why would Zhong Tao pin this on Gong Xiaojun?

Why did it take place at the end of June, five years later?

Since you've already done this, and could have killed the other person in just a few more minutes, why did you give up? Were you scared, or did you regret it?

These are all things that need to be clarified.

However, when the two arrived at the registered address and the work address provided by Yuan Lili, they could not find Zhong Tao anywhere.

Zhong Tao has disappeared!
