Liu Yufei transferred the information to the tablet and delivered it to the next interrogation room.
Xu Dayuan skimd through it, chuckled, and waved at Liu Yufei, who quickly stepped out. Xu Dayuan turned the tablet towards Wang Guangren.
"Take a look at what we’ve found. Ge Hong is your ex-wife, right? Such a rich history you two have. It seems you also received a call and are aware of Ge Hong’s current situation. It’s no wonder you harbor even more resentnt towards this kind of woman."
Zhou Ning clutched his phone and walked to the corner of the observation room to dial Cui Lili’s number.
He had always harbored a doubt. The two brothers each had short marriages that ended in divorce, and neither had children. The village gossip could be exaggerated, but such rumors wouldn’t spread if no one started them.
The ones who could have spread such rumors must have known so insider information. However, it was impossible to find the ex-wives of Wang Guangli and Wang Guangren at this ti. One had incomplete household registration information, and the other changed her phone number constantly, so all hope was placed on Cui Lili.
After about a dozen rings, Cui Lili finally answered the phone.
"Mrs. Cui, are you busy right now?"
"If you have sothing to say, just say it. Don’t beat around the bush with ; it’s a waste of ti that way."
Zhou Ning felt sowhat embarrassed and quickly said,
"It’s like this, about the blood samples of Wang Guangli and Wang Guangren that we sent for testing yesterday, is there any problem with their DNA, like gene mutations that could affect fertility?"
"I knew you would ask this. I just observed the comparative diagrams and noticed so problems too. I’m transmitting the docunt to you now. Take a look at it. The brothers have a DNAH1 gene mutation, which is a pathogenic variant that can cause spermatogenic arrest due to flagellar defects and multiplicity of malformations.
Such spermatozoa lack mobility and can lead to absolute infertility. In severe cases, you can see underdeveloped features just like a newborn, as normal motility cannot be completed. Certainly, one of their parents, likely the mother, might be a carrier of the genetic defect."
After a few beeps, Zhou Ning received the email.
"Thank you, Mrs. Cui. This comparison ca just in ti. I’m going to hang up now."
Zhou Ning hung up and promptly sent the email to Liu Yufei’s tablet. She opened and downloaded the file; after all, Zhou Ning had just used speakerphone for the call, but the information on the file was not visually clear.
"These two brothers, their educational background is marked as middle school. Do you think showing them such an obscure docunt could have any shocking effect?"
Mr. Zhao ca over, rubbing his nose with a mischievous grin, and said,
"Give the tablet; I know what to do. The trick we used last ti worked well. Regardless of their education, the most direct thod is to show them directly. Without clothes to hide behind, what else is there to obscure?"
Zhou Ning pondered for a mont. Last ti Cui Guanglin resorted to this tactic as a last resort. However, Liu Yufei was making sense, talking about genetics with them indeed lacked intimidation. He nodded slightly and looked towards Liu Yufei.
"Mrs. Liu, could you please step aside for a mont and let Mr. Zhao give it a try?"
Mr. Zhao, with his chubby face, quickly darted out.
Liu Yufei huffed.
"Step aside for what? Haven’t I seen deford before? Can’t I have a look too?"
Zhou Ning imdiately lost his retort and hurriedly pressed his face against the one-way glass.
By this ti, Mr. Zhao had already entered the interrogation room and pulled Xu Dayuan and He Chunyang to one side, whispering in their ears for quite so ti while showing them the tablet. After seeing Xu Dayuan nod, Mr. Zhao approached with a beaming smile.
He Chunyang followed as well, his temper now flaring the most. After the county had been restructured, this was considered the biggest case the sub-bureau had handled, and it was right before the Spring Festival, which truly added to the trouble.
He swiftly unlocked one side of the handcuffs and yanked the man up, hanging the handcuff on a high pipe. Wang Guangren was forced to raise one hand high, while his other hand remained on the small table.
In such a posture, his right foot couldn’t even touch the ground. His face showed panic as his right foot continuously kicked.
"Are you trying to torture into a confession, to coerce into a false admission? Didn’t you say there are caras all around here—do you intend to break the law in the na of enforcing it?"
Mr. Zhao leaned in closer, patting Wang Guangren’s shoulder.
"Don’t rush, buddy. Civilized society, how could we possibly torture you? We’re just going to perform an inspection. I’m from the Technical Division of the Municipal Bureau. Don’t worry, just a physical examination. After all, the report shows that both you brothers have abnormal genes. We just need to confirm it, no need to be afraid. It’s just a photo!"
As he spoke, He Chunyang, who had been unnoticed before, ca to the side, reached out and yanked down Wang Guangren’s pants, straight to the ankles in one go, leaving him stark naked on the spot.
Wang Guangren was stunned for a mont before starting to curse, shouting indistinguishable words.
Mr. Zhao crouched down, got close, and clicked twice, taking two photos. Apparently unsatisfied, he frowned and peered out from behind the cara.
"Mr. He, don’t let him twist around. The photos are a bit blurry. It’s already so small, and if the photo’s even blurrier, you won’t see anything at all."
Such a sentence was the utmost humiliation.
In the observation room, Mr. Bai couldn’t stop laughing, slapping the table and pointing at Mr. Zhao, saying:
"This guy, how can his mouth be so sharp? I hadn’t noticed before."
Liu Yufei couldn’t see what was happening from her angle and could only see Mr. Zhao with a serious face. She also couldn’t help but laugh.
"This psychological strategy isn’t bad. No wonder the boss likes to have Doctor Zhou and Mr. Zhao assist with the interrogation. At crucial monts, you can be of help, specifically targeting the most painful spots of the cri suspects. This way, their psychological defenses collapse."
Liu Yufei spoke quite professionally. Zhou Ning didn’t respond.
In the interrogation room, after Mr. Zhao finished taking photos, he showed them to Xu Dayuan. Wang Guangren continued to struggle, but both his hands were restrained. The more he struggled, the lower his pants slid, and his shorter right foot had already slipped out from the trouser leg. By this ti, he was already in tears and snot.
He stopped cursing altogether, his emotions completely shattered, and he pleaded:
"Please, pull my pants up. I’ll say it, I’ll say everything. I killed all these people, and the one I wanted to kill the most was Ge Hong. But no matter how I tricked her, I couldn’t lure her back, or else I would’ve made it twenty.
As for that Zhu Yuzhen you ntioned, I really didn’t know her na. When I shocked her, I got tangled with a motorbike, lost my balance and she fell with . She kept yelling and trying to escape. I panicked because I obviously couldn’t catch up with her.
I opened my backpack, took out the wrench to throw at her, and just then, my brother rushed over from behind. He stepped on the woman’s skirt, picked up the wrench and smashed her face with it. I got up and rushed over to shock her again, then I stripped her clothes and dumped her down the well. When I threw her in, she was still alive."
Such a confession stunned everyone.
Xu Dayuan waved his hand, and Mr. Zhao pulled Wang Guangren’s pants back up. He Chunyang also unlocked his handcuffs. Mr. Zhao quickly slipped out, both Mr. Bai and Liu Yufei giving him thumbs up.
Mr. Zhao, showing his teeth in a grin, didn’t dare to chat, and stood obediently behind Zhou Ning, both looking into the interrogation room.
With his pants pulled up, Wang Guangren cald down, wiping his face clean of tears and snot with his sleeves, and began to confess. Apart from Zhu Yuzhen, the remaining eighteen were all killed by him alone.
As for the process of the murder, it was much as Zhou Ning and his team had analyzed. He generally loitered around bars, approaching hostesses who were out alone.
He usually started by offering four or five hundred yuan, pretending to be very shy, which ant the victims seldom had their guard up. Then he would drive the victims to the well at Sanquan Bay, shock them, strip them naked, smash their faces and heads, and dump them into the well.
Watching Wang Guangren sign his confession, Mr. Zhao approached Liu Yufei.
"Mrs. Liu, according to what Wang Guangren said, that Zhu Yuzhen was injured by Wang Guangli but didn’t die at the ti. What’s the usual sentence for this kind of thing?"
Liu Yufei crossed her arms.
"In the 2003 Lanzhou City Qilihe murder and dismbernt case, two people assisted the murderer in dismbering and disposing of the body and were sentenced to 20 years in prison. In the 2009 Jiangli City case where a female university student was murdered and dismbered, the main culprit’s boyfriend assisted her in stabbing the victim and harbored the main culprit afterward. He was sentenced to death with a two-year reprieve. What do you think will happen to him?"
