    Chapter 161 Edmund Dantes (thirty-two)

    "The original site of the Heng'an Welfare Institute is in the outskirts of Yancheng City, but it is too old, and it has long since been converted into a ski resort," Zhou Huaijin showed the things he got from his old Filipino servant in the temporary holiday villa. Look, "This person—this girl's name is Su Hui, Mr. Fei told me that this is a very important person, and she was once one of the girls adopted by the Heng An Welfare Institute."

    The whole audience was silent, because no one except Zhou Huaijin didn't know "Su Hui", so there was no need for him to specifically tune it.

    Su Hui sold her own daughter for money, and then the crime escalated, using her daughter to abduct and sell other girls, abducting, selling, and killing a complete set, and passed this set on for three generations.

    The girl in the old photo was born with beautiful eyes and beautiful eyes. With a little dressing up, she can get a pleasing human landscape. Who can see that she has a lot of blood debts on her hands? It wasn't until more than ten years after her death that the crime was revealed to the world.

    What makes people stubborn is that in this sensational crime that lasted for more than 20 years, the ending of the three culprits could not be satisfactory - Su Luozhan was under the age of fourteen and was exempted from criminal punishment, while Su Xiaolan and Su Huidu had already died, lying on the bodies of the girls drunk and dreaming to death. In the end, apart from her ethereal reputation, she never paid any price for it.

    "The balance of income and expenditure of private welfare institutions has always been a problem. Generally, there are two ways in the end. Either find a way to 'transfer from the public' to the public, or find a fixed long-term donation. In the early years, some overseas Chinese invested in the construction of welfare institutions. It was one of them. Later, it was probably because the donor died unexpectedly, and this orphanage was unsustainable, so let it go." Zhou Huaijin paused, "Its donor is Zhou Yahou—I was thinking just now, Yang Bo's Mother and Su Hui are both orphans, and they both come from Yancheng. At that time, the city was not expanded. How many people could Yancheng have, and how many orphanages could there be? Is it possible that they came from the same orphanage?"

    "Pretty-looking ones are sold abroad at high prices, and the rest are picked and connected with human traffickers to flow into the human trafficking market." Luo Wenzhou thought for a while, then nodded slightly, "This idea has some truth, but there is a small problem— According to their practice of 'raising children and selling children', Heng'an Welfare Institute not only has a source of income, but it should also be very profitable. Even if there is no donor like Zhou Yahou, it should not close down, right?"

    Xiao Haiyang said, "It could also be a case of unidentified incident and it was sealed up?"

    "The orphanage was closed down because of human trafficking. Even if this kind of thing didn't make a big splash, it would definitely leave a record." Luo Wenzhou shook his head, "It won't disappear without a trace."

    Everyone was tired for a while, and they didn't have any ideas. They all quieted down, and no one said a word for a while.

    At this time, Zhou Huaijin suddenly cleared his throat and broke the silence: "I think... I plan to go back to Zhou's old house immediately."

    Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, Zhou Huaijin added: "I followed my mother's guidance and left Zhou's headquarters on a random excuse for vacation. After I found the old Filipino servant, I heard these horrible things from her mouth. After that, I went back to China to look for Mr. Fei. I didn’t have time or thought to investigate Zhou Yahou carefully. If everything is really inseparable from the orphanage he donated to, I think, as long as it’s a human being What you have done can't be completely without traces, there must be clues."

    "If that's the case, then I can understand now why they are chasing you so viciously," Luo Wenzhou said slowly, "Mr. Zhou, it's probably not safe for you to go abroad by yourself. If you don't wait two days, I'll find a way. Find someone……"

    "I can accompany me," Lu Jia said next to him, "I can bring a few more brothers to accompany Mr. Zhou. Don't worry, the private bodyguards you pay for will not be safer than us."

    "Going abroad is not a random flight to Hainan Island," Luo Wenzhou frowned, "I'm afraid it's not convenient for you to apply for a temporary visa now."

    "The visas are all ready," Lu Jia smiled and saw his teeth out of sight, looking at the extra wealth, "Mr. Fei said before that this year's employee benefit is to let us go abroad together for a lap, but I thought it was for nothing. It's done, and it looks good now."

    Luo Wenzhou was stunned: "When did it happen?"

    Lu Jia: "Last fall, when he was just discharged from the hospital, he made a statement."

    Zhou Huaijin couldn't help but widen his eyes - Fei Du once asked him to meet at the hospital, gave him a breakdown of the suspicious details of Zheng Kaifeng's murder of Zhou Junmao, and reminded him to go back and check his mother's last words, not long after he left , Fei Du immediately started to make Lu Jia and the others prepare to go abroad... There are so many countries and attractions in the world, why did he arrange the "vacation" destination there?

    Did he set it up since then?

    Zhou Huaijin could hear it. Of course, each of the sensitive detectives understood better. Lu Jia accepted everyone's attention with great equanimity.

    "Let's split up early tomorrow morning," Luo Wenzhou was the first to withdraw his gaze, "You guys go check the Zhou family's old house, we're here to find out if there are any clues about the Heng'an Welfare Institute, keep in touch at all times, and be sure to be safe—don't do anything right now. Think about it, take the time to rest, and keep your spirits up."

    Everyone was accustomed to listening to his orders, so they stood up in unison and went back to their rooms, intending to make up for the grievances of sleeping in the cat's nest the night before by taking advantage of the rare six stars to live in, but Xiao Haiyang's footsteps stopped, look. Luo Wenzhou, who moved his mouth to the light without moving, said, "Captain Luo, are you still asleep?"

    "There's no news from Xiaowu, I'm a little worried, just wait." Luo Wenzhou waved his hand, "You go first."

    Xiao Haiyang said "oh" and was fooled away by him.

    Luo Wenzhou was alone in the huge living room. He stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, and when he looked up, he saw the Orion constellation hanging above the sky. The three big stars juxtaposed outline the dazzling "Orion Belt", which is slowly displayed in the night sky.

    Luo Wenzhou originally took out the cigarette case, pinched it in his hand and looked at it. He didn't know what to think, and stuffed it back into his pocket. He pushed open the window and took advantage of the cold wind of the winter night to wake up. Just a few words made Luo Wenzhou uncontrollably miss Fei Du. Although the time apart was not as long as a short trip, he had the illusion that he had never seen Fei Du in his life.

    When Fei Du was just discharged from the hospital...the two of them had a very delicate relationship at that time. Fei Du was full of sweet words, but not a single word of truth. On the one hand, he warned himself not to be too hasty, and on the other hand, he wished that he could immediately grab someone in his hands.

    Luo Wenzhou remembered that Fei Du was in a bad mood at the time. He seemed to be able to sleep anywhere anytime, anywhere. Even Luo Yiguo didn't pay much attention to it. Occasionally, he could be seen sitting on the balcony in a daze, not saying a word, just thinking. look.

    What was he thinking at that time?

    At this time, someone suddenly said behind him: "President Fei said that everything should have a source, and those who seem bizarre often also have an bizarre past, and by tracing back to that source, some things can be much simpler. "

    When Luo Wenzhou turned his head, he saw Lu Jia strolling over with his arms dangling. The gunshot wound on his arm was like a bit of oil to him, and it had no effect. Lu Jia casually sent out a large box of nuts from the small refrigerator he paid for and opened it. He gave it to Luo Wenzhou: "Are you going to eat it?"

    "...Don't eat it," Luo Wenzhou looked at the small hole on the back of Lu Jia's hand, "I've eaten up my eight-pack abs, what am I going to do in the future?"

    Lu Jia shuddered at Luo Wenzhou's brazenness, and hurriedly opened another bottle of Coke, shocking himself.

    "What are you thinking?" Lu Jia asked, "Why did Mr. Fei make so many arrangements in advance?"

    "Zhou Junmao and Zheng Kaifeng joined forces to kill Zhou Yahou in order to seize the Zhou family's property. After more than ten years, their company has not yet established a firm foothold in the country. Murder, although it may seem that the methods are different, in fact, the two cases are similar—both are collaborative crimes, both require a certain level of trust between the conspirator and accomplices, and both are murders disguised as accidental,” Luo Wenzhou said in a low voice. Sheng said, "Zhou Junmao and Zheng Kaifeng will be like 'dogs pulling three shits', changing people to cooperate every time, and throwing their own handles all over the world? So there must be some degree between the two cases. It's a reasonable guess, and it's not surprising that he made arrangements in advance, it's just a little earlier than others thought."

    Lu Jia was wearing short-sleeved sleeves, and sipped on an iced cola with the cold wind outside the window. As if the cold and heat were not invading, he quietly glanced at Luo Wenzhou without saying a word.

    Luo Wenzhou paused: "Why, are you afraid that I will think that his scheming is too deep and his foresight is too suspicious?"

    Lu Jia shrugged noncommittally: "Not everyone can accept people like us... who have secrets and trauma, and are separated from others by a layer or something."

    "Brother," Luo Wenzhou patted him on the shoulder, and said earnestly, "You always care so much for someone who has a master. It's easy to get beaten up when you go out."

    Lu Jia smiled "haha": "President Fei saved my life, what's the point of being beaten up for him?"

    Luo Wenzhou: "Fei Du is very kind to you."

    Lu Jia: "Is it bad for you?"

    "Generally speaking, I will coax people with my mouth, never take the initiative to live at home, and only move a little and turn a little, and I'm still getting old when I'm fine," Luo Wenzhou said with an expressionless face at first, "It's very Uneducated."

    Lu Jia was speechless, with a look of contempt of "dog boy and boy showing off every day".

    Luo Wenzhou couldn't help laughing again: "What did you mean by 'trauma' just now?"

    "I don't know, he never mentioned it," Lu Jia hesitated and said, "it's just a feeling, the kind of feeling that you don't trust outsiders and are precarious. Sometimes you feel that you are very close to him, as if you are within your reach, As soon as he looked up, he was suddenly far away."

    Luo Wenzhou paused.

    Fei Du's vague memories, the coughing that couldn't stop, the strange stress response, the tense body in front of the basement... This was a typical post-traumatic stress disorder.

    But Fei Du didn't say anything that day, and let him pass by again.

    What happened in the memory that he had forgotten?

    After such a long period of time, Luo Wenzhou felt that he was busy tearing down the skin of Fei Du's paintings every day, and after tearing them off one after another, it was like a Russian nesting doll. Until then, he finally felt that he It's only as thin as a cicada's wings from the last core——

    At this moment, Luo Wenzhou's phone rang. He looked down and saw that the caller ID was "Xiao Wu." He quickly cleared his mind and picked it up.

    "Boss," Xiao Wu said in a low voice over there, "We have found the warehouse they used as a stronghold. These people are very vigilant. Yang Xin knows us again and has never dared to get too close. The brothers have been lying in ambush here for a day. , It happens that there are few people outside now, and we are ready to make arrests immediately."

    "Well," Luo Wenzhou nodded, "be careful."

    "Apart from Yang Xin," there was another person, Xiao Wu, holding the phone between his neck and holding the binoculars, said to Luo Wenzhou, "It seems that the Zhu Feng you mentioned is the woman whose man was stabbed to death by a mental illness. Around seven in the evening, with another group of people."

    Luo Wenzhou frowned deeply, remembering what Fei Du hastily said to him before he left—

    The album plan summarizes the characteristics of criminal psychology, and there is no need to include impulsive murder of incapacitated people in the research plan. Fan Siyuan also said that he has only done six cases...

    So, is there a possibility that this mentally ill murder case was not one of the cases that Fan Siyuan included in the album plan? It was someone who secretly mixed it in, and then imitated Fan Siyuan's "lynching" by imitating the criminal, and killed the mentally ill murderer.

    In this way, after Fan Siyuan disappeared, the case would naturally be planted on his head and would not attract attention!

    But there are some problems here: First of all, it must be ensured that Fan Siyuan is dead or missing, otherwise once he is arrested, what he has done and what he has not done will soon be found out. Attracting the attention of others - this is easy to explain. Fan Siyuan absconded after killing people. Although he has not officially issued a wanted notice, he is also one of the potential wanted criminals. The wanted criminals are the collectibles of "those people". It should be the best in the "collectibles", and it is good enough to be put in a glass cover, so it should be protected soon, and the inner ghost knows that he will never fall into the hands of the police.

    However, why bother to kill a mentally ill patient?

    "Received," Luo Wenzhou said to Xiao Wu, "Zhu Feng is an important witness, and he must be caught alive."

    Xiao Wu hung up the phone and made a gesture to his colleague next to him. Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, snipers quickly arrived. The special police were trained to approach the warehouse from three sides.

    Suddenly, a man walked out of the warehouse. He was probably on a night patrol. He was too keen. As soon as he took a step, he immediately smelled something wrong in the air. A special policeman not far away responded very quickly. It flew out and hit the man impartially. The man immediately fell back. The moment he fell, his outstretched arm moved something, and the sharp siren suddenly screamed. Get up, the lights in the warehouse are all on!

    "Go straight in! Block the back door!"

    "Hurry up!"

    The silhouettes of people passed by quickly, and then, the gunshots that made people's hearts tensed!

    Xiao Wu’s scalp exploded—Luo Wenzhou had instructed beforehand that there were important witnesses here, and Yang Xin was with them again, so try not to hurt them, the police wouldn’t shoot first, then…

    If Yang Xin just knew about it and didn't report it, just ran away, or even deliberately let Xiao Haiyang discover the hospital's killer, etc. for some purpose, this is not a big problem of principle, if she cooperates afterwards and is a martyr Family members can even be exempted from punishment, but now openly resisting arrest, illegal possession of guns, and confrontation with the police, the sex is different!

    Xiao Wu gritted his teeth, put on his body armor and rushed out.

    Although the people in the warehouse had weapons, they were really at the level of a mob—especially when they parked their cars together, their means of transportation were under control, and the SWAT police on the outside made a brightly lit encirclement, and sirens were chaotic. Sound, completely blocked in the warehouse.

    The sniper shot one at a time, knocking down the two people who were guarding the door. The bullets all hit the thighs, and even the positions were basically the same. Before the two could react, they were controlled by the police who broke through the window. The man rushed in and caught three or four people outside the warehouse. Then, he saw a white down jacket flashing and heading towards the small building behind the warehouse. Xiao Wu turned around and chased after him.

    The sporadic gunshots were especially harsh in the night, and the smell of gunpowder wafted in the cold air, pouring into the lungs, scorching and choking,

    Xiao Wu growled: "Yang Xin! Come out for me!"

    As he broke into the small building, a bullet also came in from a distance, and there was a crisp sound of "crashing", and the figure who was hiding behind the glass window quickly dodged, and Xiaowu shouted at the walkie-talkie with all his guts: "Who the fuck did that? Don't shoot!"

    While scolding, he chased him out, remembering that the first time he went to Lao Yang's house when he was at work, the girl who was about to take the college entrance examination couldn't solve the problem, and she refused to eat because of her anger. While trying to tutor the little junior sister, it turned out that this group of waste snacks had already returned the "Periodic Table of Elements" to the middle school teacher, and several people laughed at each other for a meal...

    The one who was hiding behind the window just now didn't seem to be Yang Xin, but a woman. She was a little thin, and seemed to be getting older. The closer Xiao Wu chased him, he recognized that it seemed to be Zhu Feng.

    He pounced on him regardless, Zhu Feng grabbed the clothes on Zhu Feng's back, and smashed something at him, Xiao Wu swiftly avoided and slammed the woman's wrist, Zhu Feng " Ah." With a sound, the weapon in his hand fell to the ground.

    Xiao Wu gasped and handcuffed her: "Where is Yang Xin? You still have..."

    There was a sudden gunshot behind him.

    Xiao Wu froze.

    At that moment, he didn't feel any pain, just felt that the whole person was pushed hard, and there was a "hum" in his mind.

    A bullet went through his neck, and the girl in the white down jacket shook her hands and opened her eyes in disbelief.

    Xiao Wu fell sideways, rolled uncontrollably towards the corner, twitched all over, and met Yang Xin's blank stare.

    "you……"

    He tried to make a mouth shape, but he couldn't make a sound.

    Your mother just failed the rescue and was in the hospital...

    Xiao Wu thought.

    Why don't you go back?

    Why are you so ignorant?

    He prepared a lot of lessons, but he didn't expect them to be in vain.
