Chapter 9 The Real Killer is Apprehended



Chapter 9 The Real Killer is Apprehended

"What are you crying for? If you don't want anyone to know, don't do it in the first place. You should have thought of this when you did it." Xu Bin impatiently pulled out handcuffs and cuffed the man in black, smoothly continuing to extract information about the man's crimes. "You know what crime you committed, right?"

"I know! Someone killed someone."

"Who did you kill?"

"That son of a bitch Hou Tao."

The three exchanged glances again.

really!

It seems he really is the murderer in that case!

"When was the murder?"

"Eight o'clock last night."

"Get in the car!" Wu Song grabbed the man in black and, together with Cao Dahua, escorted him to the Beijing Jeep that the group had driven when they arrived.

"Hey, what's wrong? What's wrong? Why are you arresting my husband? What did he do wrong?" The woman in her thirties who had been sitting in the back seat of the man in black ran over and asked anxiously.

"Are you his wife?" Xu Bin stood in front of the woman, separating her from the man in black.

"yes!"

"Which unit in the steel mill do you work for?"

"Oh, I'm from the finance department."

"So, do you know Hou Tao?"

Upon hearing this name, the woman glanced at her husband, her eyes becoming complex, filled with doubt, regret, and fear.

"Shutong, you stay here and watch over her. We'll send someone to pick you both up later."

"How about our security department sends someone to your branch office to assist with your investigation?" Deputy Director Zhao Xing suggested.

"Thank you very much!" This was obviously more appropriate, so Xu Bin did not refuse.

"Hey, you're too kind. We've been wanting to know who killed those two people in the factory for a long time. Now that you've caught them, we can feel more at ease in the future."

Besides, we're practically brother units, so helping each other out is only natural.

As the security department of a steel plant with 8,000 employees, they also carried guns.

They have pistols, submachine guns, and rifles.

There were even two anti-aircraft machine guns stored in the warehouse.

Many people would move between the security departments of state-owned enterprises and the police departments.

Saying it's a sister company isn't a big problem.

"Get on the bus!"

Wu Song shoved the man in black into the car, and he and his master Cao Dahua sandwiched him between them.

Xu Bin lit a cigarette, immediately started the car, and drove towards the branch office.

……

In the interrogation room of the Chengbei Branch Police Station.

The lighting wasn't good.

The man in black sat in the interrogation chair.

Wu Song and Cao Dahua stood in the corner.

Xu Bin, a veteran police officer and recorder from the pre-trial team, sat opposite the man in black.

Xu Bin raised his hand to adjust the table lamp, and the light suddenly shone on the face of the man in black.

"Name!"

"Wang Heng".

"Date of birth!"

"September 23, 1937."

Educational background.

"junior high school."

"Profession."

"No, unemployed." Wang Heng said, then immediately explained, "I used to have a job, working in the security department of a machinery factory. But the factory closed down in 95, and after receiving a resettlement fee, I became unemployed. Now I usually pick up some garbage and do odd jobs to make money."

"Do you remember what you said when we arrested you?"

"I remember, I killed Hou Tao."

"Okay, then answer whatever I ask." Xu Bin took a sip of water. "What's your relationship with Hou Tao?"

"It's alright."

"Then kill him?"

"He was my wife's boss at the steel mill, and he had an affair with her... an improper relationship."

"When was it discovered?"

"Last July, I discovered that Hou Tao's name was written on her butt."

"And then?"

"I went to find Hou Tao, wanting to make a big deal out of it. He threw out 800 yuan and told me he would give me 800 yuan every month. To be honest, at my age, I'm quite open-minded about relationships. So much money a month, whatever. I know someone who and his wife were both laid off, and he still takes his wife to the hair salon every day. At least I'm all alone."

"Hmm?" Xu Bin frowned. "Then why did you suddenly want to kill him?"

"I didn't care if they didn't let my daughter know about this. Even if she did find out, it wouldn't matter. I can just get a divorce. Marriage is a matter of personal freedom."

But I never expected that he would target my thirteen-year-old daughter, asking me how much she cost, and saying that even though I was unemployed and divorced my wife, the child would definitely stay with her.

I have a feeling that this pervert is targeting my daughter.

Not long ago, my wife told me that another person in their factory had been murdered and turned into a scarecrow.

I was thinking, it's bad enough that I've been made a living turtle, but he still wants to mess with my daughter. I might as well go all the way and kill this guy and turn him into a scarecrow. Then the police will definitely think it was the killer of the scarecrow case and they won't be able to find my name.

We did it right away.

Later, I rented a yard, built a frame exactly like the murderer's, and checked the weather forecast every day. Knowing that it was going to rain last night, I ran out and called Hou Tao from a public phone, asking him to come out and discuss the price. I called him into an alley and hit him with a hammer.

Then I put the sack over his head, rode the tricycle back to the yard, strangled him with a rope, and then rode the tricycle to the vicinity of Jixiang Village, tied him to a frame, and left him not far from the roadside. I heard that in the previous two cases, the victims were wearing red hats, so I put a red woolen hat over his straw hat.

"Are you taking your wife to work today?"

"yes!"

"Did you deliver often before?"

"No! I don't know what happened. I just wanted to go to where my wife works. I thought I would be very happy if I went to the entrance of their factory's finance department. I didn't expect to be caught by you as soon as I delivered it there."

"That's still not right!"

Wang Heng frowned. "I accept that you caught me, but isn't your investigation a bit too fast?"

Logically, shouldn't you have just discovered Hou Tao's body at that time? How could you be waiting for me at the finance office entrance?

wrong!

How did you know I would go to their factory's finance department?

After Wang Heng's head was grabbed, it was a complete mess. Only after he told everyone everything did he feel much more relaxed and his mind returned to normal.

Once he sorted things out, he realized something was wrong.

She quickly raised her head and stared intently at Wu Song. "You were the one who told me to stop, saying you were a policeman. How did you realize something was wrong with me?"

"Eyes."

"You tricked me!" Wang Heng exclaimed, trying to stand up but bumping into the interrogation chair. He sat back down, glaring at Wu Song with resentment. "If I had kept riding forward, would nothing have happened?"

"The net of heaven is vast, and though its meshes are wide, nothing escapes it; you'll be caught sooner or later!"

Wu Song has already set his sights on him.

Even if he has a strong mental fortitude and manages to escape that hurdle, he still can't withstand a comprehensive investigation of the situation around him.

It was only a matter of time before he was arrested.
