Chapter 57 Humbert Humbert

Xu Wenchao seemed to be out of breath. He didn't even have time to think about how the police found the house, or whether he had left any traces on the car. He knew the moment he heard the address. Done.

His tinnitus lasted for half a minute, and he sat there like a clay sculpture and wood carving, leaving behind the police officers on the opposite side, the eye-catching surveillance cameras, and the small dark room, and drowned in his own world.

Xu Wenchao is a highly educated person with even above-average intelligence.

He knows right and wrong, he can clearly recognize the red lines drawn by law and morality on the ground, he knows what he is doing, and he knows the consequences. At the same time, he still can't stop. He covers up his crimes as carefully and thoughtfully as possible. Erase all traces that can be erased.

For many years, he felt like a person floating on the water, with his upper body exposed in broad daylight, among ordinary people, thinking about life like ordinary people, agreeing with most people's opinions, but he never went to See below.

Because his lower body was immersed in the icy muddy water.

He was divided into two parts for a long time, until just now, a powerful external force forced his exposed upper body into the muddy water. His nose and mouth were suddenly soaked with the stench and cold "liquid", and he gasped for a while. Don't get angry.

Luo Wenzhou waited patiently for him for a while, then continued: "The photos you took are clear enough, you can see a few pits on your face, we've already gone to verify the identities and summoned them one by one—by the way, if there is contact information And the mailing address is even better, why didn't you organize one by the way?"

Xu Wenchao's scattered gaze fell on his face along with the voice. After a while, his pupils finally focused, and he reacted to Luo Wenzhou's words.

"It's useless," he said.

Luo Wenzhou: "What did you say?"

"It's useless," Xu Wenchao said softly, "you can't find any evidence, and it's impossible for them to admit it."

The criminal policeman next to him was finally woken up by his boss and the arraignment. He finally kept up with the progress of the day through the reminder of his colleagues in the earphone. He suddenly got out of anger and slapped the table: "We can't find it. To the evidence?! The bloodstains and murder weapons in that room are not evidence? Clear photos are not evidence, what the hell do you want?"

Xu Wenchao gave him a fixed look, and there was almost a bit of pity and sadness in his eyes.

"But those photos are from years ago," he said.

The angry detective was inexplicable, and wanted to grab the collar of the hooded bird and shake it twice to make him speak human words, but Luo Wenzhou already understood.

The "diners" that Su Luozhan referred to have always just bought girls and never participated in the follow-up processing. Do they know what will happen to those girls?

They must know, but they may not admit it—

I don't know where the girl came from, I was just introduced by an acquaintance, just a few times.

How could it be abducted? How can you die? They clearly told me that it was all voluntary.

Even if the corpses are found, they should have been cleaned up, and it is difficult to find traces. The police may not find direct evidence to prove that they are related to several recent kidnapping cases of children, and the photos in the urns can only be found. Prove that they had raped girls at that time.

If the photo was taken before the “crime of prostituting young girls” was canceled, then according to the so-called principle of “respecting the old and the lesser” in the criminal law, even if Lang Qiao captured all the five people in the photo, he might have just arrested them. A few wretched men who "prostituted young girls", pay more money, and at best they will be released after three or five years.

And in this major case spanning more than 20 years, are there really only these five perpetrators?

"How to judge other people's affairs, that's our public prosecutor's business, thank you for taking care of us." Luo Wenzhou said without changing his face, "It's impossible to send a pennant to you if you think about us, it's better to take care of your own first. Well, as far as I'm concerned, others may be able to get away with it, but you, Xu Wenchao, will not be able to escape if you participate in the serial kidnapping of children, killing and throwing corpses, what do you have to say?"

"In the end, all the results are borne by me as an outsider. When I think about it this way, I think it's ridiculous." Xu Wenchao spread his hands in front of him and spread it out gently, he said, "I'll be honest, I have never touched Su Luo Zhan, I haven't touched any of them, I haven't taken a penny from this, I'm not a beast."

Luo Wenzhou was almost at a loss for words: "Then what are you doing? Just take pictures and do the aftermath? You really are a living Lei Feng."

Xu Wenchao said, "I'm here for Su Xiaolan."

He said, and lowered his eyes slightly, his eyes seemed to fall far away: "The first time I saw Su Xiaolan at school, I was attracted to her, she has a very special thing about her, I have never been there. I have seen it on any girl. I tried my best to get close to her, but she was too withdrawn, and she was often absent from work, as if no one knew her whereabouts except the head teacher-the head teacher at that time was Wu Guangchuan... Second, even the new head teacher often doesn't know where she is, and I just found out that she seems to be around Wu Guangchuan alone."

"You started following Wu Guangchuan before Guo Heng?"

"I don't need to follow him, I can see him from the window every day. I rent a house near the school - you have already found the house - my mother was studying with me at the time, but she had to take care of the elderly in the family, and she often ran around, except for three meals. I basically live alone for the rest. Su Xiaolan is my first love, the kind I think about day and night." Xu Wenchao smiled, showing Luo Wenzhou a "every man understands" expression, "Once I woke up in the middle of the night, Holding a photo of her secretly taken during the school celebration, leaning on her head to relax her mind, my head was just against the window, and the curtains were not drawn in summer, I saw Su Xiaolan and Wu Guangchuan go home."

"midnight?"

"It should be said that it was the middle of the night," Xu Wenchao said, "Wu Guangchuan was very cautious."

"Later... I saw something completely beyond my imagination - you know the imagination of teenagers is mostly hazy - I was so shocked that I forgot about anger and jealousy. Then I came back to my senses and felt something was wrong, Wu Guangchuan But teacher, isn't this a crime?"

"I felt disgusted, and I suspected that she was not willing. So I set an alarm clock, secretly prepared a telescope, and used the camera and lens that took a long time to grind at home."

Luo Wenzhou held down the colleague who wanted to interrupt Xu Wenchao, slowly turned the pen between his fingers a few times, and asked calmly, "Then how did you find out that Su Xiaolan was not a simple victim? I think Wu Guangchuan shouldn't take the kidnapped girl home, right?"

Xu Wenchao closed his eyes and showed a somewhat self-deprecating smile: "I didn't know what to do for a while, I was thinking about her day and night, and thinking of her made me feel sad and longing, and I felt grief and anger. I tore Wu Guangchuan. Once I couldn't help it, lied to the teacher, asked for sick leave to find her, and happened to see her with a girl I didn't know. After a long time, the news of the girl's disappearance spread and it was also on the local news. At that time, I had a vague ominous premonition, and I went to her house the next day in the name of sending homework, and saw her cutting a skirt... ...that's... the one the girl wore that day."

"She panicked and begged me not to tell anyone, I was terrified, really terrified, I couldn't even think about what was going on. I felt like the sky was falling... but in the end... I couldn't bear it anymore. , I agreed to her." Xu Wenchao stretched out his hand to cover his face, "I am the monitor, just say a word to ask for sick leave, the teacher believes me and doesn't even read the slip, but for her, I peeped, lied, and covered up the crime... I took my normal life for the past ten years into it... She ruined me, she completely ruined me, and I still like her so much."

Luo Wenzhou pressed on: "Did you meet Su Hui at the Su family back then?"

Xu Wenchao shook his head: "Then I may not be able to sit here and talk to you."

Hearing this, Luo Wenzhou didn't ask any further questions for a while. He lightly pressed his thumb against his sun, and said politely, "Do you mind if I smoke a cigarette?"

Xu Wenchao: "Can you give me one too?"

Luo Wenzhou nodded very generously and handed it over: "I don't see that you are addicted to smoking."

"I don't," Xu Wenchao's fingers were still trembling when he took the cigarette, but his tone was slightly relaxed, "I only smoke one or two with others when socializing occasionally. It's too painful, these things have been in my heart for more than 20 years, and I have always pretended that there is no such thing, even the closest people know about it."

"Well," Luo Wenzhou glanced at the phone, Tao Ran and Lang Qiao were still still, the cigarette eased the atmosphere between the police and the suspect a lot, he said rather calmly, "I can probably understand—can say What did you think when you helped Guo Heng investigate Wu Guangchuan?"

"I thought she was being coerced by Wu Guangchuan at the time." Xu Wenchao breathed out a cigarette, "I promised Su Xiaolan not to call the police or tell anyone else, or she would be finished. I had a whimsical idea at the time... A little boy is always a hero. Doctrine, I want to settle Wu Guangchuan myself and rescue Su Xiaolan. When I was following Wu, I was discovered by that uncle. He was investigating secretly, and I was also investigating secretly. We are all for the people I love. I feel sorry for him. , Besides, it's more secure to have an adult by your side - but I never imagined that he would stab Wu Guangchuan to death, if I had known, I would definitely not have helped him."

Luo Wenzhou: "Why?"

"That man is crazy, fortunately I didn't tell him what Su Xiaolan gān, and fortunately Wu Guangchuan was stabbed to death before he had time to speak, otherwise she wouldn't have escaped that day." Bai Yan, with a blurry face, "I'm afraid for her now when I think about it."

"I'm afraid for her," Luo Wenzhou looked at him with some meaningful eyes, repeated it gently, and asked again, "After Wu Guangchuan died, how was your relationship with Su Xiaolan?"

Xu Wenchao was silent for a while, as if he felt the collar strangling his neck, he raised himself with difficulty and moved.

"Su Xiaolan wasn't coerced at all, she was voluntary. She was born a poppy growing in a rose bush, and her roots were poisonous—and she actually... still really likes that one..." Xu Wen Chao raised an arm and wiped his face with force, "After that incident, her whole body withered, she was just walking dead, I couldn't believe it. Can you imagine that kind of powerlessness? I You have to pretend you don't know and save a lot of pocket money to buy her time from her mother once."

"Wait." Luo Wenzhou paused, "Su Luozhan can't be your daughter, right?"

"No," Xu Wenchao denied without thinking, "I have never touched Su Xiaolan, and I bought her time just to spend time with her, not like you think."

"She's so vicious and perverted, but I still love her, I can't stop her, and I can't stop myself..."

The criminal police, who had been tortured by the victim's family for a whole day, heard this, and could hardly bear it. He seemed to want to bào immediately, smashing Xu Wenchao's literary head into a slag cake, and once again being cast by Luo Wenzhou's iron-like hands Pressed on the spot: "Boss!"

"I still have a few things to ask," Luo Wenzhou gave his colleague a calm look. "Xu Wenchao, when did you start helping Su Xiaolan deal with the aftermath, and what role did you play in it?"

"After Su Hui's death," Xu Wenchao thought for a moment and sighed, "it's been ten years since Su Hui was alive, Su Xiaolan wanted her to die every day, but when she really died, she felt isolated and helpless. The chess and card room that I opened will also be demolished. Su Xiaolan said that she doesn't trust others and can only ask me for help. What can I do? I have no bottom line for her."

"It happened that the house in Xiangyang Community was mainly going abroad. I had a good income at that time, and my family gave me some money. I had some savings in my hand, so I bought the house, but they were in a hurry and kept paying it back. I didn't have time to transfer the property." Xu Wenchao lowered his head, "I gave her that house."

Luo Wenzhou said with an "oh", "I get it roughly, Su Xiaolan started out as a girl, became a pregnant woman without a girl, and then became a mother with a child. Basically, she was in a public car and someone wanted to give her her seat. She used this to lower the vigilance of the victim, abducted and kidnapped children, sold them to perverts, and then killed them. You provided a venue, and you were also responsible for cleaning up the corpses. How do you do it? Divide the corpse, and find another place after the corpse is divided. Once lost, am I right?"

Xu Wenchao took a deep breath, covered his face, and did not refute.

"She died, but the nightmare wasn't over yet. I found out that the child... Xiao Luozhan is a complete copy of her. I didn't meet the conditions for adoption. That child actually... She actually contacted those people in private - you know I heard on the radio that the girl in Xiling was missing, and then when you called the Public Security Bureau to ask about the case from more than 20 years ago, I was in my heart How shocked?" Xu Wenchao looked at Luo Wenzhou with red eyes, "You guys caught me, it's my release, I don't need to..."

Luo Wenzhou's phone vibrated lightly, and Lang Qiao's message came in: "Boss, you've caught that bastard! I've seen the photo and still don't admit it, I have to say I don't know, you wait for me to find others. a few!"

"Wait, I still have a question." Luo Wenzhou was unmoved by his confession of "heart weeping and blood", he put down the phone, and his tone changed suddenly, "You said you can't control Su Luozhan. , you don't know anything, right? Why didn't the girl say that? She said that the two of you cooperated very well. You dressed up as an old blind man and followed Zhang Yuchen. Let Su Luozhan take the opportunity to appear and deceive the child's trust. Is there such a thing?"

The criminal model of this gang has always been dominated by the Su family. The "innocent" buyers just spend money to enjoy it and refuse to take risks. Then the victim should be selected by the Su family. From the selection of the target to the start of tracking and abduction It should be a complete and rigorous process. Staring at Chenchen more than a month ago, gradually acquiring her regularity of activities, and then making a decisive move at the right time - this is in line with the pattern.

That is to say, the "criminal gang" model they envisaged before, that is, several suspects choose their own targets, and then use the little girl Su Luozhan as the bait to abduct the victim's direction is impossible

Xu Wenchao is too smart, he can analyze the evidence found by the police as soon as possible after the shock, and shrewdly shirk his responsibilities by sticking to the facts as much as possible - just out of a sense of protection, just a helper to dispose of the corpse The accomplice, but inadvertently cooperated with Su Xiaolan's diary and recruited the core criminal pattern of this case.

That is to say, there is no one else who is following Chenchen, it must be him, he is not a passive shield at all, he is one of the active criminals!

Why did Qu Tong's case "become a branch outside the festival" in the middle?

Why did Xu Wenchao get arraigned for the Qu Tong case, and from the police's attitude, he pointed out that Su Luozhan was so shocked when he imitated the case 20 years ago?

Because the Qu Tong case was completed by Su Luozhan on her own initiative, the girl was indeed "out of control", she was trying to get rid of this "cleaner" she despised, and took over the "private work" of one of the guests!

"Xu Wenchao, you found out about the relationship between Wu Guangchuan and Su Xiaolan, you feel disgusted, and you suspect Wu Guangchuan, but you didn't tell anyone, but started peeping and filming yourself." Luo Wenzhou stared at him, not giving him any time to react. " Is it good-looking? Is it fun? Do you still remember it after many years?"

Xu Wenchao's face was pale, and his mouth was tightly pursed, but his pupils were slightly enlarged, his throat moved involuntarily, and thin sweat came out from the tip of his nose.

"You said that you saw Su Xiaolan with a strange girl, so you didn't come up to say hello. Why? Can't you say hello to your classmates when someone else is there? Or did you not say hello at all?" Luo Wenzhou suddenly stood up and grabbed it. Living on Xu Wenchao's collar, "Su Xiaolan was cutting a floral dress at home, and you bumped into it, how did you bump into it, eh? Didn't she hide it before she opened the door? Because you broke in, you took advantage of Su Hui's absence to break in. Entering a room with only one girl... Xu Wenchao, what were you thinking at the time?"

"I do not……"

"You haven't touched those girls," Luo Wenzhou lowered his voice and whispered in his ear, "because you can't stand up at all, you put a thirteen-year-old picture of Su Xiaolan in front of her ashes, and deceived herself and posted it on the glass window. Old photos from 20 years ago, because you are obsessed with Su Xiaolan, who is cold, perverted, and cruel to girls of the same age without hesitation, instead of being frightened by Wu Guangchuan's death, you can only be controlled by her perverted mother and you the 'sheep'."

"I ask you, do you only get excited by watching her commit a crime like she did back then, and only by watching her dispose of the body?"

Xu Wenchao could hardly stand upright, and weakly clenched Luo Wenzhou's hand: "I..."

"Why do you suddenly want to marry Su Xiaolan? Because you saw that Su Luozhan 20 years later has grown into what she looked like back then. Do you want to be Wu Guangchuan—"

"You're not a beast? Of course you're not a beast. A beast is pretty good. If you can live and eat ròu, you deserve it too?"
