Chapter 51 Ascending to Heaven or Escaped to Earth?
"Then what are we waiting for?" Wang Chao exclaimed excitedly, clenching his fists and pounding them a few times. "Arrest them!"
Previously, it was all Zhou Yang's speculation. Although it sounded reasonable, it was still a bit far-fetched. It was impossible to arrest someone based on mere guesswork.
But things are different now. Now it's Liu Da who's speaking. He's been a criminal investigator his whole life and is also the deputy leader of this special task force. His experience and judgment are beyond question. Since he said it is true, it's highly likely.
"Arrest him? Where's the evidence? What can prove he did it?" Liu Chengyu's eyes widened. "Witness testimony? Physical evidence? Fingerprints, blood samples, or that DHA thing?"
"But..." Wang Chao wanted to say something, but was silenced by the other person's glare.
"Brother Chao, this suspect is different from the others!" Zhou Yang patted the other man on the shoulder. "If we're not careful, this could become a cold case, and we might not even find Ruan Jinyin or Lin Feifei's remains!"
"Huh?" Wang Chao's eyes widened. Was it that scary?
In the past, if someone was suspected like this, they would have been taken directly to the station and interrogated intensively until they confessed. Why go through all this trouble?
Initially, Liu Chengyu had the same idea. He came tonight to do ideological work on Zhou Yang. After all, the case had been going on for so long, and if a suspect was brought out, the higher-ups could continue to support him.
Then, trusting Zhou Yang, the two went together to find Ren Fu, in order to "stir up trouble."
But after this trip, he completely rejected his previous idea—this person cannot be arrested unless there is solid evidence; otherwise, this case may really remain unsolved!
Not only that, but there is a high probability that the other party will continue to commit crimes!
Having been a police officer for so long, he prided himself on having seen all sorts of criminals, but this was the first time he had ever encountered a criminal who was practically playing his cards right in front of him and whose words were full of provocation towards the police!
He couldn't express his feelings, but Ren Fu's behavior and words tonight were provocation!
"Hey, what are you thinking about?" Wang Chao asked, noticing that Zhou Yang hadn't said anything.
"Master, do you think he will feel humiliated by our visit tonight and want to teach us a lesson?" Zhou Yang carefully chose his words.
"He's gone too far, and he's even giving us face..." Wang Chao was saying indignantly when Liu Chengyu shoved him aside.
"You mean?"
Zhou Yang nodded: "He'll most likely take action tonight!"
Wang Chao's eyes widened. The suspect's actions? That could only be one of a few things: escape, destroy evidence, or commit another crime.
If, as Zhou Yang said, they really want to teach them a lesson, then they will most likely continue to commit crimes. However, considering that two people are still missing, it is very likely that a new 'model' has appeared!
But they've all fenced off each other's yards!
Wang Chao looked up at the sky, then shook his head. He then looked down at his feet and was shocked. Could that person be able to burrow underground?
But even if he burrows underground, we're not afraid!
Liu Chengyu immediately notified the local police station to expand the observation point outward by 500 meters, then 1000 meters, in two layers. He also transferred police officers from other brigades to ensure this was a safe operation.
Whether you go to heaven or burrow underground, you still have to appear on the road. As long as you appear, we can hold you down!
It's important to understand that catching a suspect now and finding two bodies on him is a completely different matter from the suspect throwing away two bodies and then being caught!
It's no exaggeration to say that if two more corpses were to be unearthed, Liu Chengyu might have to retire early. As for how he managed to endure it in his previous life, Zhou Yang had no memory of that.
"Master, I think it's very necessary for us to ask Ren Jing to go to the bureau again!" As Zhou Yang listened to Liu Chengyu's instructions, he couldn't help but recall the scene from that afternoon when Ren Jing walked out of Renfu's courtyard looking lost and dejected.
Ren Jing must know something!
Otherwise, she wouldn't have had that expression; either Ren Fu admitted it himself, or she discovered it herself.
Therefore, it is highly likely that Ren Jing has evidence!
"Okay!" Liu Chengyu didn't ask why. Instead, he immediately sent someone to the leather factory to find Ren Jing. Then, under the pretext of cooperating with the investigation, they were taken to the Municipal Bureau to await questioning.
Next, Zhou Yang briefly recounted his conversation with Ren Jing that afternoon, as well as Ren Jing's demeanor when she left after delivering the food, to Liu Chengyu. There was absolutely no need to worry about the veteran detective's intuition.
"Master, it's so late, is there still anyone at the power company?" Zhou Yang wanted to confirm a suspicion in his mind.
"I don't know, but we can have Yan Zhi contact you!" Liu Chengyu turned his head.
"Okay, let's hurry up then!"
......
Nearly three days had passed since the first body was discovered. According to the previous timeline, Ren Fu was about to begin his third body disposal. Police were deployed to Xiangjiang Plaza, Xiangjiang Restaurant, and Ren Fu's residence.
If we follow the other party's usual mindset, they will most likely take risks, even at the risk of being arrested, and will most likely act, just as Zhou Yang said, by provoking the police.
He turned his gaze back to Ren Fu's house, which was dark and gloomy, like a cold-blooded beast ready to devour its prey.
About half an hour later, the pager that Liu Chengyu had placed here went off. Its eerie green light was particularly glaring in the night. He had placed it here before he left.
Seeing the string of numbers above, Zhou Yang grabbed a jacket from the car: "Brother Chao, I'm going back to the station first!"
Wang Chao nodded, knowing that Ren Jing or the power bureau had given a reply.
He walked to the jurisdiction of the local police station, borrowed a bicycle, and rushed to the municipal bureau under the cover of night.
It must be said that the moon of this era was truly bright, comparable to the low-powered streetlights of later generations.
"Ren Jing definitely has something to do, but it will take some time. Also, the documents you requested should be delivered in about ten minutes!" Upon hearing the commotion, Liu Chengyu immediately came out and informed Zhou Yang.
"Hmm, how's Ren Jing's mood?" Zhou Yang parked his bicycle and casually asked Liu Chengyu.
"Not so good, this woman just seems really awkward!" Liu Chengyu snapped a cigarette and gave his summary.
Zhou Yang nodded. That's right, she's a bit of a wimp. When she found out what her good classmates and friends were doing, she immediately distanced herself from them. Whether you call her cowardly or law-abiding, it shows her true nature.
But now, as she realizes that her own brother may be the perpetrator of this serial murder case, her values and fundamental beliefs begin to struggle.
She wouldn't make a scene, nor would she cry alone; what she showed was a conflicted attitude.
Is her husband home?
After receiving a negative answer, Zhou Yang pondered for a moment: "We could have Sister Fang Duo bring two colleagues to her home to keep her child company, or bring them to the bureau!"
"Yeah, I had the same thought just now!" Liu Chengyu said, hurriedly taking two more puffs, pressing the cigarette butt against the wall, and leaving in a hurry.
At that moment, it seemed as if the master and disciple had switched places, but neither of them noticed.
Not long after Fang Duo left, a person hurriedly rode a bicycle into the yard.
