Chapter 58 Arresting People! (Please continue reading and vote with monthly tickets.)
Lane 1, Wenhua Road.

The alley is narrow and winding, with densely packed red brick buildings on both sides, and a jumble of electrical and telephone wires covering the more than three-meter-high ceiling.

A dozen or so sparrows perched on the power line, sticking their rear ends out and preening their feathers as they chirped and chattered.

A group of police officers in patrol uniforms ran over, startling the sparrows away.

A fledgling bird flew low and quickly passed over Yang Jinwen's shoulder.

Zheng Kang greeted Wang Daquan, and the fledgling flew high into the sky above his head.

With his belly round and bulging, Wang Daquan gasped, "Captain Zheng... we found it!"

Zheng Kang hurriedly asked, "What did you find out?"

"That woman was a prostitute named Wang Caixia. She rented a bedroom from her cousin in building number 23. Before the incident, she was working as a prostitute!"

Yang Jinwen hurriedly asked, "Are you sure?"

"Sure!"

Zheng Kang quickly shouted, "Lead the way!"

Wang Daquan wanted to walk slowly, but Zheng Kang and Yang Jinwen ran very fast, so he had to struggle to keep up.

Building No. 23 is also located in Wenhua Lane 1, which is known as Chicken Coop.

The reason for this name is self-evident: once night falls, even Guan Yu riding Red Hare would have to pay a toll before escaping the clutches of evil.

When Zheng Kang and Yang Jinwen arrived at the location, the entrance to the wall was already filled with patrolling police officers. Inside was a courtyard with several five-story red brick buildings.

Jiang Jianbing was already standing at the door, with a middle-aged man wearing a thick gold chain squatting in front of him, his hands behind his head, looking very well-behaved. He was clearly a man who had been subdued by the government.

Zheng Kang rushed over and hurriedly asked, "What's going on?"

Jiang Jianbing replied, "This man is called Liu Dong, and the woman in the portrait is his cousin, named Wang Caixia."

Yang Jinwen glanced at the man and asked, "Did he recruit himself?"

"He's a seasoned pro. If we don't catch him, he won't confess anything. There are several gangs involved in prostitution and buying and selling sex in this alley. It was his colleagues who reported him."

Zheng Kang waved his hand: "Stop rambling, getting the information is the priority."

Immediately, he took the notebook Yang Jinwen handed him and showed Liu Dong the sketch he had drawn the night before: "Look up and take a good look. Is this really your cousin?"

Liu Dong nodded.
Where does she live?

"Second Lane of Wenhua Road, right next door."

Which residential complex? What's the address?

"Inside the iron gate, there is room 301 in unit 1 of building 3."

Zheng Kang straightened up and sternly ordered the surrounding police officers, "Arrest them! Seal off Second Lane on Wenhua Road!"

Immediately afterwards, no fewer than one hundred people from the criminal investigation team and the joint defense team rushed to the second alley of Wenhua Road.

The joint defense team blocked off both alley entrances and other possible access points.

At this time, it was already evening.

The alley faces north and is already in the shadow of the setting sun; half of the alley is bright, and the other half is dark.

The rusty double iron doors were shrouded in darkness. Zheng Kang, Jiang Jianbing, and others, carrying guns, led the group straight to the third building.

Yang Jinwen followed behind them, carrying a rubber baton because his police ID hadn't been issued yet.

The group split into two groups. One group went around to the back to prevent the suspect from jumping out of the window, while the other group stormed into the stairwell and stomped upstairs.

The residents coming downstairs saw them and were so frightened that they all gave way.

Yang Jinwen asked an old man who was throwing away trash, "Sir, hello, we are from the Criminal Investigation Brigade. May I ask which family lives in apartment 301 upstairs?"

Zheng Kang and Jiang Jianbing had already gone upstairs when they heard his question and immediately stopped in their tracks.

The old man frowned and asked, "Yang Qi, why is your criminal investigation team looking for him?"

Yang Jinwen continued, "Does Wang Caixia also live in 301?"

“They’re a couple, you bunch of country bumpkins…”

Yang Jinwen ignored him.

Zheng Kang and Jiang Jianbing strode up to the third floor, where room 301 was right in front of them.

Zheng Kang shouted to the police officers standing in the stairwell, "Those with guns, come forward! And bring up another female officer!"

Wang Daquan led a policewoman onto the stage and whispered a few words to her.

Zheng Kang nodded to these people, then reached out and knocked on the door.

"Bang, bang, bang..." After a few knocks, a woman's cautious voice came from inside the door:

Who's outside?

The policewoman replied, "Hello, we're conducting a census."

The woman inside the door asked in confusion, "A census?"

"That's right, we'll ask every single household. Please open the door, we'll leave after we've asked."

There are only two people in my family.

The policewoman smiled and said, "Ma'am, we just need to look at the household registration book."

The woman inside the door remained silent.

A tense silence fell over the atmosphere.

Just as Zheng Kang was gesturing, preparing to have someone force the door open, the door creaked open.

Before the woman could even extend her hand, the door was suddenly flung open.

Zheng Kang and Jiang Jianbing rushed in immediately and pinned the man down.

Without even watching the arrest process, Wang Daquan and Yang Jinwen led their men straight to the living room, bedroom, and other rooms to investigate.

This apartment was very small, with only two bedrooms, and the inspection was completed in a short time.

Wang Daquan shouted, "There's no one in either bedroom!"

Yang Jinwen also reported: "I've checked the bathroom, kitchen, and balcony, and there's no one there!"

At this moment, the woman was already handcuffed, her hair was disheveled, and her face was pale.

Jiang Jianbing lifted her up from the ground and immediately asked, "What's your name?"

The woman's eyes were filled with panic, and her whole body was trembling: "Woof...Wang Caixia."

"Do you know why I arrested you?"

Wang Caixia didn't answer, her eyes fixed on the floor.

The household registration booklet she had been holding earlier lay on the floor, its pages now covered in several footprints left by the police officers who had entered the room.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Zheng Kang squatted down and stared into her eyes: "At dawn on June 14th, in the red brick bungalow at No. 11 Wutong Lane, a woman named Zhang Xiaoying was murdered. Not only was she insulted before her death, but her throat was also slit by the murderer!"

"Wang Caixia, tell me now, did you do it with other people?!"

Wang Caixia remained silent, but her cheek twitched.

Yang Jinwen bent down to pick up the household registration book from the ground, dusted it off, and folded it neatly in his hand.

Wang Caixia shifted her gaze to Yang Jinwen's hands, her eyes narrowed, and she finally spoke: "Yes, we killed them."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Kang's face contorted with rage: "Besides you, how many others are there?"

"two."

"What's your name? Where are you?"

Wang Caixia swallowed hard and replied, "Wu Dayong and Yang Hong. They're waiting for me at the bus station."

Why are they waiting for you at the bus station?

“After my husband withdrew the money, I took the money and left Annam with them.”

Upon hearing this, Zheng Kang and Yang Jinwen exchanged a glance.

"Master, the situation is urgent, we cannot conduct the trial here."

Zheng Kang nodded and looked at Jiang Jianbing: "Old Jiang, you notify Captain He, let's go to the bus station together and interrogate her on the bus!"
