Eyes that are the same as those of evil

Chapter 9: The Elopement Murder Case
As the case gradually became clearer, the Criminal Investigation Team 2 split into three groups.

A passerby led Luo Zhiyong to identify the crime scene and recreate the situation, hoping to find out where Liu Guanhua's body was hidden.

The group continued their tireless search for the whereabouts of Liu Guanhua's body.

The last group of people investigated Luo Mei's electronic products and interrogated Luo Mei and Wang Yong again.

The investigation quickly yielded useful information: while Tan Jia was taking Luo Xiaomin to eat McDonald's Crispy Chicken, Xiao Chen and the others returned with Liu Guanhua's body.

“I searched places I thought were impossible, including rivers, sewers, mountains, and even industrial shredders in factories. I never imagined they would bury the body in a new grave a kilometer away from where they dumped it!”

He had handprints on his face, which gives an idea of ​​the fierce struggle he had with the locals over digging up the grave.

Forensic pathologist Lao Li gave him a thumbs up and quickly took the rotting corpse back to the laboratory.

An expedited examination revealed that Liu Guanhua's cause of death was simple: a blow to the back of his head causing intracranial hemorrhage. His time of death was close to the time of Mi Junfang's murder.

The old car cover that wrapped the body was still being examined for fingerprints, and the moment to find the second killer was just around the corner.

Luo Zhiyong was taken back to the interrogation room, where a photograph of Liu Guanhua's body was placed in front of him. It was in its original state, with soil from the fresh grave still clinging to the rotting flesh.

He was so frightened that he vomited on the spot.

"You weren't afraid when you were killing people, but you are now afraid when you see a corpse! Tell me, who was with you in committing the crime and moving the body? Luo Mei? Or Wang Yong?" Zheng Yan asked coldly.

"No..." After vomiting, Luo Zhiyong looked even older and more disheveled, but he still shook his head. When he couldn't speak, all he could do was shake his head. When he could speak normally again, he actually confessed to the crime of killing Liu Guanhua.

"I did it all by myself. He deserves to die too. He seduced my wife and tried to run away with other women... It was me. I killed them all by myself. They were adulterers. They wanted to run away together, so they should die together too." He became calmer and calmer as he spoke, and even started laughing at the end.

Zheng Yan laughed too: "Do you think we police are stupid? Do you know where the body was found? Or answer me, why did you kill two people but dispose of the bodies separately? Why is there only Mi Junfang's blood on your clothes?"

Luo Zhiyong really couldn't answer. Zheng Yan's smile vanished, and he slammed his hand on the table with a loud bang.

"Even now you still won't confess! You believed him when he said he could take care of your children while you're in prison? After something like this happened, would you rather entrust your two children to Wang Yong or Mi Junfang's parents? If you entrust them to them, your two children will be reborn today and join you tomorrow!"

The roar made Luo Zhiyong's expression go blank for a moment, and his lips trembled.

Zheng Yan added, "Now, besides you, we mainly suspect Luo Mei as the other murderer. She has a strong motive, and there are many inexplicable behaviors..."

"It wasn't her! It wasn't her!" Luo Zhiyong suddenly lunged at the table in front of him, shouting frantically. When he saw Zheng Yan's indifferent expression, his lips moved several times before he finally gritted his teeth and said ferociously, "It was Wang Yong, that damned dog Wang Yong!"

The interrogation room door was deliberately left open, and the sounds coming out were clearly audible to Wang Yong outside.

However, the interrogation of Wang Yong did not begin immediately. Instead, he was locked in a well-soundproof interrogation room and left alone for several hours.

When he was fidgeting, sweating profusely, and his expression kept changing, Zheng Yan and Tan Ming went in with good news from the technical and forensic examination.

"Wang Yong, this was a murder targeting you..."

"I didn't! It wasn't me! It was Luo Mei! Luo Zhiyong was protecting his sister. I had no reason to kill Mi Junfang. I was just playing around with her and I didn't hate her. Why would I kill her? Only Luo Mei hated her and wanted to smash her face!" He blurted out a long speech in a panic, wishing they would arrest Luo Mei immediately. He didn't even consider that she was his wife of more than 20 years and the mother of his children.

Having witnessed too many hypocritical and disgusting people in this interrogation room, Tan Ming didn't even blink, and continued to take out a few more photos and reports.

"This is the car cover that wrapped Liu Guanhua's body. After comparing the serial numbers, it's the one your family used for a year and a half. There are your fingerprints on it, including on the body."

“These are the shoe prints left around the grave where the body was hidden. After examination, they match your shoe prints. Luo Zhiyong and Luo Mei had no idea where the body was hidden. Only you, because you attended the funeral a week ago, were able to find the new grave in the dark.”

"This is your call log with Luo Zhiyong..."

With all the evidence laid out before him, Wang Yong, in his panic, still managed to find loopholes, claiming that at most he had made a mistake by helping Luo Zhiyong dispose of the body, and that he had committed murder, which he denied.

“It doesn’t matter if you don’t admit it. With this evidence and Luo Zhiyong’s confession, it’s enough to convict him.” Zheng Yan’s attitude was relaxed, as if the case had really been investigated and closed.

Tan Ming chimed in: "According to Luo Zhiyong's confession, this was your idea. It was you who first suggested finding someone to have an extramarital affair with Mi Junfang. It was also because of you that Liu Guanhua was pushed and shoved, causing him to hit a rock and suffer a brain hemorrhage that he died. After Liu Guanhua died, you persuaded Luo Zhiyong to kill Mi Junfang to prevent the news from leaking out. After the murder, you even told him to dispose of the body to try to pin the blame on Liu Guanhua, because you were certain that we wouldn't be able to find you and that you hid the body there."

It all sounds like "it's all your fault," as if Luo Zhiyong is shifting all the blame onto him.

Wang Yong, unable to contain his anger any longer, swelled up his hunched back with furious sarcasm: "He's just a coward, a spineless coward! He only knows how to hide behind others and pretend to be a good guy. Do you think I could persuade him if he didn't want to? What a load of rubbish! He's the one who brought me home to drink, he's the one who knelt down and begged for my forgiveness first, he's the one who asked me how to shut Mi Junfang up!"

Zheng Yan and Tan Ming exchanged a glance and said, "Then you should honestly explain everything."

...

Actually, things started very simply.

Wang Yong got drunk at Luo Zhiyong's house. Seeing that Mi Junfang was prettier than Luo Mei, who was out of shape at home, he became so lecherous that he wanted to take advantage of her while she was sleeping.

When Mi Junfang woke up, she cried and hit him. He and Luo Zhiyong were afraid that this would cause shame to both families if the matter got out, so they knelt down and begged her for forgiveness. In order to shut her up, they even gave her tens of thousands of yuan.

The matter should have ended there, but Wang Yong felt that Mi Junfang's behavior of keeping quiet after taking the money was no different from that of a prostitute, so he became increasingly frivolous and often went to Luo Zhiyong's house, wanting to "rekindle their relationship".

Mi Junfang was naturally unwilling, and even dared not stay at home for long. She even threatened to tell everyone about it. After it happened once or twice, and repeated many times, Wang Yong and Luo Zhiyong felt that they couldn't be threatened any longer, so they came up with an idea—

Find someone to seduce Mi Junfang, catch them in bed together, and Mi Junfang will have something on them, so she won't dare to make a fuss anymore. They might even have a reason to get the money they gave her back.

The person they were looking for was Liu Guanhua, whom Wang Yong had hooked up with using a female alias on a very niche dating app.

—Upon hearing this, Zheng Yan and the others were speechless. Although they had seen many bizarre behaviors over the years of handling cases, the idea of ​​a man in his forties using a female account to seduce his sister-in-law was still something that deserved a "Holy crap!"

They wanted leverage over Liu Guanhua, and Liu Guanhua wanted money. That's how the three of them formed an alliance. But at that time, neither of them knew that Liu Guanhua was a robber.

Luo Mei: Those two despicable men, one slap with the left hand and two slaps with the right!
