Above is the entirety of my testimony.
墨書 Inktalez
"Above is the entirety of my testimony.。Officer Zheng, isn't it obvious? I am the mastermind behind these several cases of human trafficking."
In the airtight interrogation room, the middle-aged man calmly recounted the entire process of the crime, with his eyes lowered, making it difficult to discern his expression. Due to years of working in the fields, the man's face still bore traces of sunburn, and there were some faint mud spots on his knees and cuffs.
Zheng Yi walked slowly to the interrogation window, gazing solemnly at the man inside. Wang Mingyang, male, 53 years old, residing at Fenghuang Village 45, makes a living by farming, and is currently detained by the Inspectorate on suspicion of trafficking women. Zheng Yi mentally constructed Wang Mingyang's profile, carefully pondering over his testimony.
"Captain Zheng, the suspect has finished his statement. Should we move on to the next step?" The police officer in the interrogation room pushed the door open and waited for Zheng Yi's instructions.
As time passed by, Zheng Yi fixed his gaze firmly on Wang Mingyang's face, his brow furrowing deeper and deeper. Inside the interrogation room, the man, who had previously kept his eyes lowered, seemed to sense something and slowly raised his head, turning towards the direction of the window, locking eyes with Zheng Yi.
In that moment of eye contact, Zheng Yi suddenly realized something, his pupils dilating. "No, Wang Mingyang is lying. He is not the killer!" With these words, Zheng Yi swiftly ran outside.
Three days ago, inside the police station of City A.
"In just 7 days, our city has experienced 5 consecutive cases of missing persons, all of whom are women aged 20-35. These serial cases have caused great social panic, and the provincial public security bureau has ordered our station to solve the case within 5 days and find these missing women."
In the spacious office, the voice of Director Wang echoed throughout the entire space. A heavy shadow filled every corner, and a thick haze of anger and frustration covered everyone's faces. "Zheng Yi, as the captain of the criminal investigation team, I believe in your abilities. I expect to receive the case statement in five days," Director Wang said.
Zheng Yi's expression was stern as he replied decisively, "Yes, I will ensure the task is completed!"
As the meeting was about to end, a police officer hurriedly knocked on the door and entered. At this moment, he completely forgot about etiquette and composure, trembling as he shouted to the director, "Report... Report to Director Wang, Director Liu's daughter went missing at the Fenghuang Village intersection an hour ago!"
As soon as the words were spoken, everyone in the office changed their expressions. Director Wang's hand, which was tidying up the materials, suddenly stopped, and his sharp eyes stared at the newcomer like an eagle. "Population Management Bureau Director Liu Changsheng? This criminal is too bold, it's simply a provocation to the police and society!"
Not far away, Zheng Yi and his good buddy Yang Huai exchanged a sidelong glance, and both saw complex emotions in each other's eyes.
"Liu Wang, female, 24 years old, daughter of Liu Changsheng, the director of the Population Management Bureau in City A, currently an intern journalist at A Broadcasting and Television Station." After the team member introduced Liu Wang's basic information, the big screen immediately showed the surveillance video of Liu Wang when she went missing.
The surveillance camera is located above the convenience store at the entrance of Fenghuang Village. The footage shows that on the afternoon of October 16th at 5 o'clock, Liu Wang arrived near the convenience store by car and seemed to have a dispute with the person in the driver's seat when leaving, forcefully closing the passenger door. Shortly after, the vehicle immediately left the surveillance area, and Liu Wang walked alone towards the entrance of Fenghuang Village.
A man pushing a garbage cart approached wearing a mask and a special protective suit for pesticide spraying, so Zheng Yi and others were unable to see the man's face clearly. As he passed by Liu Wang, Liu Wang suddenly collapsed to the ground and did not move.
Subsequently, the man carried Liu Wang into the garbage truck and left the surveillance area. This marks the end of the last segment of surveillance footage showing Liu Wang.
Zheng Yi repeatedly reviewed the video footage. As it was dusk and the location was remote, there were no pedestrians on the road, and only the vehicle carrying Liu Wang was seen. Therefore, there were no witnesses to the scene before and after Liu Wang was taken away.
"What about the villagers of Fenghuang Village? Has anyone seen the man in the surveillance footage?" After Zheng Yi posed the question, the team member responsible for gathering information hesitated, with an uncertain expression.
"Speak up, why are you hiding information? This is a matter of life and death!" Zheng Yi raised his eyebrows and shouted.
"A colleague from the office has already gone to the scene for investigation, but there's still no... result." The team member squeezed out the answer like squeezing toothpaste.
"If there's no result yet, then speed up the progress. What's the big deal?"
"Captain, there's something strange in Fenghuang Village!" The team member mustered up the courage and laid out all of his concerns, "After the brothers who went to survey went into the village, they all got lost. There's no one in the village, and all the houses are empty!"
The other members of the team began to whisper to each other.
"Oh?" Zheng Yi shifted his gaze away from the surveillance video and stared unwaveringly at the reporting team member.
"So... so far, the brothers have not seen any villagers, and we haven't been able to gather any useful clues," the team member explained nervously.
Zheng Yi's mouth lifted into a meaningful smile, "It looks like this village is not simple." He picked up the car keys on the table and with a twist of his finger, his eyes were full of interest as if he had found his prey. "Let's go and see for ourselves."
