1PIAADITSB Chapter 40

“Song Yang, do you know what you’re saying?” Bureau Chief Zhou stared at him intently.
“I know,” Song Yang said, lowering his head.
“Give me a reason, a reasonable one.”
“We all believe that the murderer in the professor’s case is Wang Jie, who committed suicide.” Song Yang withstood the pressure, stood up, and took out a USB drive. “Please watch this video, everyone!”
The projector played Wang Jie’s video on the screen.
Everyone watched with extreme attention.
“I’ve confirmed with the appraisal department that the video hasn’t been tampered with. It’s a genuine video,” Song Yang added.
The woman in the wedding dress and the people from the Mamian organization were completely exposed to everyone in the Investigation Bureau for the first time.
Wang Ya, Li Xin, and others hadn’t directly participated in the professor’s case, so they didn’t know too many details.
But Team Leader Yu and others, who had completely handled the case, were very clear about it.
Zhao Digang quickly asked, “Where did the USB drive come from?”
“It was found at Wang Jie’s house,” Song Yang replied.
“That’s impossible.” Zhao Digang frowned, “We searched Wang Jie’s house inside and out. We never found anything like that. Where did you find it?”
“This…”
Song Yang was rendered speechless by the question.
The video came from Jiang Ge, and she indeed hadn’t explained where in Wang Jie’s house the video was found, and more importantly, he hadn’t asked.
‘Why? Do I trust that reporter?’ This thought arose in his mind.
“Song Yang, I hope you can give me an explanation,” Wei Zheng Rong stared at him. “If you can’t give a convincing reason, I think you’ll have to accept an investigation. You’re an Investigator; you should understand.”
“Old Wei, what do you mean?” Team Leader Yu slammed the table and questioned him.
“Team Leader Yu, is there anything wrong with what Old Wei said?” Bureau Chief Zhou retorted.
Team Leader Yu’s expression twitched, and he stopped arguing.
Song Yang suddenly felt immense pressure and could only remain silent.
“Unless!” Zhao Digang spoke again at this moment, “This video was taken away before we went to the scene.”
“So, someone came to Wang Jie’s house beforehand? Song Yang, was that person you?” Wei Zheng Rong followed up.
“It wasn’t me. I didn’t go,” he shook his head.
“Then where did this video come from?” Zhao Digang stared at him intently.
The corners of Song Yang’s mouth twitched, but he didn’t answer.
Zhao Digang’s words just now flashed in his mind.
‘So, the reporter actually went to Wang Jie’s house in advance? If she went to her house during the gap between Wang Jie being killed and the arrival of the Investigators, that means she saw the first-hand death scene, and as long as she was willing, she could easily take away some other evidence.’
‘She might even have altered the crime scene?’
Song Yang’s expression changed slightly. However, the reporter hadn’t mentioned any details.
Moreover, she had previously contacted him to provide the video.
‘What exactly does this madwoman want to do?’
It had to be said that this girl’s psychological resilience was astonishing.
“If it wasn’t you, then it’s the person who gave you the video,” Zhao Digang continued. “Wang Jie’s death scene was very clean, which is one of the reasons why we determined it was suicide. Use your brain, Song Yang. Do you still want to protect that suspect?”
“If the video content in this USB drive is fake, then the broadsword, the broadsword placed on the windowsill, where is it? None of us at the scene found the broadsword.”
“So, there are two possibilities: first, this video is fake. Second, someone took the broadsword.”
“Song Yang, which one is it? Did you take the broadsword?”
Song Yang calmed himself. He admired Zhao Digang’s observational skills. After only watching it once, he could grasp the suspicious points. An experienced Investigator was indeed impressive.
“Or are you saying that there’s no one who gave you the video at all, and you did everything?” Wei Zheng Rong pressed on step by step.
Song Yang pursed his lips, feeling immense pressure.
Bureau Chief Zhou spoke at a critical moment, “Old Wei, what’s wrong with you? How can you interrogate our colleagues using coercive methods? Everyone, restrain yourselves.”
After criticizing the two, he said with a kind expression, “Song Yang, don’t mind them. They’re just people with this kind of personality. Besides, you’re also an Investigator and should know that the truth is the most important thing for every Investigator, so it’s understandable that the process is a bit extreme, right?”
Song Yang nodded.
Bureau Chief Zhou continued, “Since that’s the case, then tell us everything you know. Who’s the person who gave you the video? Only if you say it will the suspicion towards you decrease, isn’t that right?”
“The person who gave me the video…” Song Yang showed a troubled expression.
He was also very concerned about the broadsword issue. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have exposed Jiang Ge’s intention to frame him earlier.
“Bureau Chief Zhou, isn’t the focus now on the Three Sages Park case? How did it get dragged into another case?” Team Leader Yu suddenly spoke up again in a lazy tone. “Just because it was suggested to compare the identity of the deceased with the identity of the deceased girl in the closed professor’s case, you’re forcing your colleagues like this. Isn’t that against the rules?”
“Have you all forgotten the human head at the scene of the professor’s case?” He continued, “Because the current college student’s body is missing a head, it seems reasonable to suspect that it’s Feng Zhizhi’s body, right?”
The three glanced at Team Leader Yu in turn, as if trying to discern his meaning from his eyes, but the latter looked at the office desk with an unchanged expression.
Not getting the desired answer, the three instantly extinguished the fire. Bureau Chief Zhou then changed the topic back to the case, “Whether the deceased Feng Zhizhi is related to the 299 case is currently unknown. The forensic doctor has given an accurate result. Her body shows varying degrees of comminuted fractures.”
“Moreover, the head is missing. It has been compared with the head at Chen Feng’s case scene, and it fits perfectly. In other words, that head is Feng Zhizhi’s head.”
“The rest, Old Wei, you can explain.”
After saying so much, Bureau Chief Zhou stopped, seemingly tired. He took a sip of the light tea he carried with him and handed over the subsequent speaking rights to Wei Zheng Rong.
“Judging from the scene, Feng Zhizhi seemed to have been dismembered by the murderer and stuffed into birdcages.” Wei Zheng Rong made public the photos taken at the crime scene.
“These birdcages range from wooden to stainless steel to iron, various materials and various shapes.”
“Moreover, each birdcage contains remnants of Feng Zhizhi’s body parts.”
“Too cruel!” Zhou Ling exclaimed.
The others also remained silent after hearing this.
“It’s still unknown what the murderer was trying to do with the birdcages. But the degree of cruelty is appalling.”
Giving a look, Zhao Digang continued, “There are still many footprints at the scene, but the person with the most footprints must be the suspect.”
“In addition, the birdcages have the murderer’s fingerprints on them. In other words, as long as the fingerprints are compared, it will naturally be clear who the murderer is.”
“For the next action, Ning Juan, you will lead. The Feng Zhizhi case is handed over to your team. Any questions?” Wei Zheng Rong instructed.
“Team Leader Wei, is it too risky to hand it over to our team?” Zhou Ling was the first to raise a question.
However, Ning Juan slammed the table, stood up, and declared presumptuously, “Team Leader Wei, rest assured if you hand it over to us. I will definitely bring the criminal back to you.”
The other Investigators didn’t speak. Even Wang Ya, who was a workaholic, didn’t chime in.
The Feng Zhizhi case was so strangely placed on Song Yang’s team’s shoulders.
