Chapter 17
Yang Zhengqi, who was initially re-telling what was happening at the crime scene in all seriousness, yelled a foul word out of nowhere, causing the crowd on site to be stunned .
However, as they looked upon the corpse that Yang Zhengqi was investigating, the same urge to curse fell upon them . In addition to the broken neck on the victim's corpse, tied to the victim's arm was half of a gigantic venomous worm, with its many legs filled with blood . As they looked at the creature, a chill went down their spine .
Song Xinghe turned the urge into reality . "F*cking hell, what the hell is that?!"
Whether those who were born and bred in Western Sichuan believed in witchcraft, the mysterious culture was imprinted on them as they grew up . What was left of the venomous worm was so big that it did not seem like a venomous worm at all . Without a doubt, this was the last thing that a Western Sichuan police officer would have wanted to see in a crime scene .
The silence at the crime scene was unbearable . "Could that be a toy?" Wumin asked . Just as the words slipped her tongue, her face turned pale .
Naturally, nobody would respond to such an immature question . Moreover, Wumin's face was flushing after asking that question .
Eventually, Yang Zhengqi, who held the highest position at the scene, was the first to calm down and say, "Let's ignore the worm carcass now . Let's proceed to finish the work . Xiao Wu, please record properly . "
"After person A chopped his arm off, he ran into the kitchen . Person C and person D also started moving and dashed toward the kitchen as well .
"These three people eventually broke the kitchen's door, but the target that they were chasing after escaped from the window . Looking at the size of the kitchen window, the target must be skinny and small . The footprints under the courtyard window prove this point as well .
"After the target escaped, person A began chasing after him . There's a pause here, perhaps he had a short confrontation with the target . After this, person A died on the spot .
"After person A was person C's turn to die . Looking at the marks, person C suddenly lost his ability to move for some reason as he dashed toward the target . Combined with his ripped abdomen and his kneeling pose, I dare presume that the reason is fear .
"After person C died, the murderer then targeted person D . Person D died near the entrance, and there was little movement from the corpse . However, from my preliminary speculation, he must have attempted to escape at that time and was killed after that . As for the remainder of the big worm in person D's abdomen, do be careful and exercise caution when performing forensics later . Do not be poisoned .
"Don't record what I'm going to say now . Combining everything that I've said just now, I speculate that the murderer must have killed person A and person B to protect himself, person C's death happened during and in between his process of defending himself, while person D's death was completely intentional .
"I would like to proceed to ask the witness of this case . Are my description of the case progress and the last speculation right or wrong?"
After saying that, Yang Zhengqi walked next to Zhang Lisheng and looked straight at him with a piercing gleam .
It was dead silent around . After a short moment of hesitation, Zhang Lisheng said without any expression on his face, "I passed out after escaping from the kitchen, I don't know anything else that happened after that .
"Then how about before you passed out?"
"Before I passed out, I saw a venomous worm biting the person who has a hole on his neck from the kitchen window . I don't know anything about the rest . "
After hearing Zhang Lisheng's answer, Yang Zhengqi looked closely at him for a while and asked all of the sudden, "How old is he?"
Nobody there answered that .
A while later, Song Xinghe then helped to ask, "Chief Yang is asking you that, Chief Tao . This kid, no, how old is this lad?"
"I think 14, shouldn't be 14 yet . " Noticing that he could not get away with that, Tao Lielin mumbled with his head held low .
"This deputy village chief, who used to be in the military, claimed that he heard from somebody before that an underage adult below 14 doesn't have to bear any criminal liabilities . "
Yang Zhengqi took a moment of silence and did not ask anything anymore . He then said with his deep voice, "Xuqiang, you'll bring Squadron 1 to do an on-site forensic investigation .
"Lihao, Wangyang, you guys will bring the suspect back to the force, remember to manage him well .
"Guangsheng, you don't have to bother about anything . Go to the County Registration Bureau to verify the suspect's age . Make sure you obtain the most detailed record .
"I'll meet Squadron 2 and Squadron 3 now to see what they've got from investigating the situation in the village . "
Hearing Yang Zhengqi's instruction, all of the police officers from the Qu County Criminal Police Force showed an uneasy expression and none of them began to move .
Lihao, who was instructed to escort Zhang Lisheng, said while biting the bullet, "Chief Yang, I think this is simply an accident where a venomous worm attacked the victims . The victims are all active robbers, we should not make a scene out of this…"
"Comrade Lihao, the nature of the case must be determined by the evidence and the conclusion from interrogation . " Yang Zhengqi, who was oddly serious, said, "Moreover, no matter what the nature of the case is, we can't just close such a major criminal case hastily .
