Detective: Open your eyes, I am handcuffed in the interrogation room.

Chapter 628: Identity in doubt, bloody incident in the early years

Chen Yi stepped into the main hall again.

Auspicious incense has a wide range of uses, and it is not surprising to see it in homes. What is strange is that you cannot see the burning point, nor can you find the place for gods or the deceased.

It is impossible for a home in a poor mountainous area to burn auspicious incense for no reason. It must be for memorial service or offering.

But...where is the spirit tablet?
I didn’t see the spirit tablet.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Yi walked to the inner wall opposite the door, squatted down and carefully observed the hard floor.

The floor had been swept, and it had just been swept. He reached out and touched a small dent and some cracks, then looked up at other places.

"Connect the four points. There used to be a table here. Judging from the length and width..."

Chen Yi stood up and walked to the bedroom on the right. He estimated that the dark red square table inside was of the same size and should have been moved from the main hall.

Touch the table, it's clean.

I smelled the tabletop and it had a very light smell, as if it had some fragrance.

“This is a spirit table.”

Chen Yi immediately made a judgment. Before he came, the spirit table originally in the main hall was moved to the bedroom, and the spirit tablet on it was taken away and hidden.

Zhong Liyun’s sudden arrival could not be a coincidence.

Then, it must be him who did it.

Why did he do this? Whose spirit tablet did he not want him to see?
The special case team came to Jijia Village to investigate Ji Hao. Is the name on the tablet related to Ji Hao?

The spirit tablet could never be discarded casually. If it was hidden, it would be in these three rooms and one living room. A thorough search would surely find it.

However, there is no case at the moment, and Ji Hao is not a suspect in any case, so it is not appropriate to forcibly search Ji's house.

Thinking of this, Chen Yi walked out of the main hall.

Everyone looked over.

Chen Yi glanced at Zhong Liyun, then turned to look at Ji Lao San and asked, "Uncle, who is the one offering sacrifices in the room?"

Ji Laosan was caught off guard and his face changed suddenly. It was obvious that he had cleaned it up and hid it very secretly, so it should be impossible to find it.

Zhong Liyun's eyes also fluctuated violently. Although he appeared calm on the surface, his heart was already experiencing huge ups and downs.

"He smelled incense. My bad."

Zhong Liyun immediately realized the problem, lowered his head slightly, and slowly closed his eyes. He understood that when Chen Yi began to suspect that someone was paying tribute to the dead in the house, he had already made a direct inference to the truth in his mind.

If he can't even do this, it is impossible for him to be valued so much by the Imperial City and entrusted with important tasks.

"No... no memorial service. You are cursing our family, right?" Ji Lao San was angry again. This time Chen Yine could clearly see that he was using his anger to cover up his guilt.

"Is it your Ji family? Or... Ji Hao himself?" Chen Yi continued to ask.

This time, Ji Laosan couldn't help himself and subconsciously glanced at Zhong Liyun.

Following Ji Laosan's line of sight, Chen Yi also shifted his gaze to Zhong Liyun.

Zhong Liyun wanted to say something, but finally closed his mouth, turned around silently and prepared to leave.

"Director Zhong." Chen Yi stopped him, "Can we chat? You should know who is the one who is paying respects inside, right? And... you were the one who moved the memorial table away, just before we got here."

Zhong Liyun paused, but did not stop. He continued walking and was about to walk out of the door.

Qin Fei and Teng Dabin, who were closest to him, moved sideways and stood in front of Zhong Liyun.

Zhong Liyun couldn't leave anymore, so he turned his back to Chen Yi and said, "Chen Xun, you should know that you can't get anything from me, so why waste your time?"

Seeing that Zhong Liyun seemed to be bullied, the villagers outside the door swarmed in, pushed Qin Fei and Teng Dabing away, and protected Zhong Liyun in the center.

"What are you doing? What are you doing?!"

"Jijia Village doesn't welcome you, leave now!"

"Come on!"

A group of people glared at the special case team and ordered them to leave.

Some young and middle-aged villagers rolled up their sleeves and even picked up hoes, as if they were ready to fight with the special case team.

Chen Yi was in a trance for a moment, and his memory instantly went back to when he faced Yue Qing in Yunzhou. At that time, the nearby villagers also shared a common hatred for the enemy and risked their lives to protect the benefactor who cured their illness.

Yueqing's death has always been a thorn in Chen Yi's heart. Although it is the duty of a criminal policeman to investigate the case, it was his appearance that led to Yueqing's suicide.

The scene at this moment seems like going back in time.

"Mr. Zhong...take care." After a few seconds of silence, Chen Yi spoke.

The villagers were not happy: "Mr. Zhong is a guest of our Jijia Village. You can leave whenever you want. You! You! You leave quickly!"

Criminal police must have extremely strong beliefs and the ability to accept.

They are the people who are clearly fighting against crimes and protecting the property safety of the masses, but now they are standing in opposition to the masses and are not understood. This kind of situation happens from time to time.

People with a bad mentality are likely to doubt the meaning of their work and eventually begin to think about quitting.

Except for Teng Dabin, all the police officers present were very experienced. They were still deeply touched at this moment, and felt that the police badges on their heads did not seem to be as bright and dazzling as before.

"Walk."

Chen Yi took the lead and walked out of the yard under the gaze of all the villagers. Zhong Liyun didn't say a word during the whole process, and he had nothing to say either.

Returning along the same route, the atmosphere in the special case team was somewhat depressing until Chen Yi spoke up to break the silence: "Call the Criminal Investigation Brigade of the Shanhai Branch, monitor Ji Hao's ID card, and prohibit him from leaving the country until the facts are clarified."

When did you take out your cell phone?

Zhong Liyun's silent attitude made Chen Yi guess that the person who was paying tribute to Old Man Ji at home was most likely Ji Hao, so everything could be explained.

Ji Hao, the ruthless man who once joined a gang under Zhong Liyun, was not a young man from Jijia Village.

The real Ji Hao is dead.

How he died is not important. What is important is that the current "Ji Hao" has used Ji Hao's identity and has become the chairman of Haijian Credit Company.

He also realized that he had made a mistake in judging something when he met "Ji Hao" at Haijian Company.

Ji Hao is hostile to the entire police system. He originally thought it was because of the gap between the rich and the poor, but now it seems that is not the case.

Dissatisfied with the police system and without an identity, Ji Hao's past experiences have already been roughly summarized.

He Shixin quickly hung up the phone and said, "The head of the Shanhai Criminal Investigation Division said that they will deal with it immediately. Ji Hao cannot go abroad until the restrictions are lifted.

Captain Chen, what's going on? "

Qin Fei and the other three also looked over, but they actually didn't understand.

Chen Yi did not explain, but only said one sentence: "Ji Hao should be dead, the Ji Hao we saw was fake."

"what?!"

The five people were shocked. This result was really unpredictable. Was it just like the case in Shidu Town? Was their identity replaced?
He Shixin: "Old man Ji has been hiding this matter, which means that he voluntarily gave up Ji Hao's identity and allowed Zhong Liyun to use it. Is that right?"

Chen Yi nodded: "Yes, my son's identity has been lent out, but Jijia Village is located in the mountains and we are not afraid of being exposed, so we still set up a spirit table at home for memorial service. Zhong Liyun is very smart. He is worried that we may suspect Ji Hao of having problems and conduct in-depth investigations, so he came to Jijia Village one step ahead and asked Old Man Ji to temporarily put away the spirit table. What does this mean?"

He Shixin: "It means... Ji Hao's identity must not be exposed. Once it is exposed, there will be big problems."

Chen Yi: "Yes."

While quickly descending the mountain, he expressed his judgment.

There were many illegal residents in the early years, but Ji Hao was definitely not an ordinary one, otherwise Zhong Liyun would not be so nervous, and there was no need to use someone else's identity to replace him. The former might be hiding an unknown secret.

Coupled with the strong dissatisfaction that "Ji Hao" expressed towards the police system, it is reasonable to suspect that this person is most likely a wanted criminal by the police, or a major suspect in a certain case.

Judging from Zhong Liyun's character, he should not protect a vicious criminal, which means that "Ji Hao" may have been wronged or had deep hatred. Although the latter's behavior was a serious crime, Zhong Liyun understood it.

By searching all the major case files in Jiangzhou in this way, perhaps the true identity of "Ji Hao" can be found.

"After getting in the car, do this right away." Chen Yi said finally.

When is new: "Understood."

……

While the vehicle was moving, the special case team was on the way back to Dongli.

This trip to Dongli brought unexpected gains that even Chen Yi had not expected. He originally wanted to see what the Yunjie Group was like, but it eventually involved "Ji Hao".

The six members of the special case team all had a hunch that the secret hidden in "Ji Hao" was probably no small matter.

There is still half an hour to reach the border of Dongli. By now, when will the new investigation results be available?

"Hao Ji?" Seeing this name, He Shixin instantly became energetic.

Isn’t Hao Ji the opposite of Ji Hao?

"It seems we have found something." When a new case that happened thirty years ago was brought up.

One of the victims, Hao Ji, was only seven years old at the time. His father had died early, and his mother had to struggle to raise Hao Ji and his fourteen-year-old sister alone.

It is a bit difficult, but the family of three is happy and there is still a sense of happiness.

However, all this was ruined by two demons.

The case took place in Chongcheng.

At two o'clock in the morning, two suspects broke into Hao Ji's home and committed a brutal murder. Hao Ji's sister and mother were raped and murdered, and the family's finances were looted. The seven-year-old Hao Ji escaped because he was strangled and pretended to be dead.

Such a major case shocked the municipal bureau and even the provincial department. After receiving the report, the entire city was immediately under martial law and a carpet search was conducted for the murderer. The two suspects were arrested in just three days.

Due to their age, the two suspects were sentenced to twenty years in prison and were released from prison twelve years later after their sentences were commuted.

However, the two men disappeared mysteriously shortly after they were released from prison and have not been found to this day, either alive or dead.

One, missing in Chongcheng.

The other one disappeared in Dongli.

The police immediately identified the suspect Hao Ji, but Hao Ji also disappeared after the two were released from prison, and no one knew where he went.

The Chongcheng police also came to Dongli to search, because the last person released from prison disappeared in Dongli.

When He Xin's voice fell, the car fell into silence, and even Qin Fei, who was driving, couldn't help but release the accelerator.

The answer is obvious.

Ji Hao, should be Hao Ji, took action immediately after the two murderers were released from prison and avenged his mother and sister in the simplest and most direct way.

It is definitely impossible that he is missing. He must be dead, and I'm afraid he died a very tragic death.

No wonder he didn't have a good face towards the special case team. His childhood experience was really miserable to the extreme.

Chen Yi opened the car window and lit a cigarette. The smoke quickly drifted away with the strong wind, and the scenery outside the window seemed to be covered with a layer of gray.

"Hey." After an unknown amount of time, Su Ying sighed, "Team Leader, I just joined the special case team and haven't known you all for long, but I can swear on my character and my life that if you don't plan to investigate further, I will never reveal a single word to anyone in the future."

Teng Dabin turned around and said, "I support you, scumbag...if you die, then die."

Chen Yi exhaled smoke and said, "You think too simply. Hao Ji's case is definitely not the only one. When his heart was filled with hatred, he had undergone a drastic change.

Especially after his hands were stained with blood, it was difficult for him to have mercy on anyone other than his enemies.

Zhong Liyun is a delicate gray, while Hao Ji is a deep black. We have all seen Ji Hao. Now when we think back, don’t we feel that the word danger is written all over his body?”

Su Ying fell silent. If Hao Ji had other cases on hand, that would be a different matter.

"Should we... notify the Chongcheng police?" He Shixin asked.

It is conceivable that once the Chongcheng police knew of Hao Ji's whereabouts, they would immediately gather a team to attack and quickly control him.

Hao Ji is highly suspected of committing the crime.

"No." Chen Yi rejected, "Don't notify me yet."

He just said he would not notify, without explaining why.

Teng Dabin said: "Chen Yi, could Zhong Liyun have guessed something? Maybe he has called Ji Hao? What if he runs away?"

Chen Yi: "As long as he doesn't leave the country, it's fine. And I don't think he will run away."

Teng Dabin: "Why, he didn't run away even though his identity was discovered? He won't be able to explain himself once the DNA test is done."

Chen Yi: “Guessed.”

Teng Dabin: “Uh.”

As they were talking, they arrived at Dongli. Qin Fei asked about the next destination, and Chen Yi said he would go directly to Haijian Credit to meet Ji Hao.

However, when the special case team arrived at Haijian Credit, they were told that Ji Hao had already left.

At the same time, Ji Hao's secretary gave a letter to Chen Yi, saying that the chairman had instructed that it must be delivered personally to a person named Chen Yi, and that the other party would definitely come to the company.

"Sealing with wax? So solemn." Chen Yi took the envelope and opened it directly in front of the secretary.

I thought I would see a long article, but when I opened it, there was only one sentence: See you at the back mountain of Jijia Village at nine o'clock tomorrow morning, you will be alone.

Chen Yi didn't know the situation.

Did Zhong Liyun and Ji Hao say something, or did Ji Hao realize something and make his own decision?

The plot develops much faster than expected. After suspecting that the real Ji Hao is dead, the fake Ji Hao immediately takes action.

He didn't run away, nor did he think about confronting the special case team. Instead, he made an appointment to meet in Jijia Village. It seemed that he wanted to... be honest with each other?
Why should we meet in Jijia Village to be honest with each other?

"Call him." Chen Yi said.

He Xin took out his phone and dialed the number, then said the next second: "It's turned off."

Chen Yi thought for a while, then handed the envelope and letter to Qin Fei.

The special case team left Haijian Credit.
