Chapter 7 features another individual

Wang Gang also saw this book and sneered, saying: "A patricide reading a book about fathers?"

Upon hearing my words, everyone finally realized the gravity of the situation. Previously, the case had shown no leads, but in the last day, it had progressed rapidly, like a waterfall cascading down. Everyone's mindset had become somewhat restless, forgetting some of the most basic details. I asked Yang Xiaojun: "The report on the force exerted on the ligature marks on Li Tang's body shows..."

Zhang Dongcheng nodded

Captain Shi stepped forward and handcuffed Zhang Dongcheng, then said: "You know why we are here, right"

Captain Lu was clearly taken aback. If that is the case, then Wang Guihua must not be the murderer. Wang Guihua is left-handed, while the murderer is not. It is likely that Wang Guihua herself has not considered this difference, which will fundamentally change the direction of the case. Captain Shi walked in and whispered a few words to Captain Lu. He took out the murder weapon while wearing gloves. Captain Lu held Wang Guihua's hand, and after comparison, it was found that Wang Guihua's fingers were shorter. If she had been holding the murder weapon to commit the crime, the corresponding blood mark would have been longer. Captain Shi walked in and whispered a few words to Captain Lu.

This evening, I have been unable to fall asleep. This is the first criminal case I have participated in; I was filled with excitement beforehand, but when I actually encountered it, I realized that behind every criminal case lies a tragedy, a tragedy woven together with blood and tears, and I truly cannot feel any excitement.

Wang Guihua did not say this during the interrogation! "I am still being 'controlled' by Yang Xiaojun," I couldn't help but continue to ask: "If a person is left-handed, they would hold the knife in their left hand when committing murder, right? Zhang Fushun was stabbed seven times; there must be fingerprints on the knife, are they left-hand fingerprints?"

He stood motionless, like a statue, or like a scarecrow in a wheat field. The glow of the sunset illuminated the courtyard, and the cicadas were calling from the trees. In the distance, the faint sounds of villagers talking could be heard. Zhang Dongcheng seemed to exist in a different time and space from all of this. He had not even taken off his shoulder bag, which hung down to the ground, and that book lay on the ground. I clearly saw the full title of the book: "Niuniu: A Father's Notes," written by Zhou Guoping

I said to Wang Gang beside me, "Go apply for an arrest warrant; there is no one else but him who could be the murderer." However, Wang Gang looked somewhat puzzled and turned to ask me, "An arrest warrant? Who are we arresting?"

Upon hearing my question, Yang Xiaojuan felt as if she had been enlightened, understanding my meaning. After a brief contemplation, she said: "The indentation on the right side is deeper, while the left side is shallower; the murderer is likely not left-handed!" However, Wang Gang dismissed this with disdain: "What if the murderer is deliberately faking it?"

Zhang Dongcheng has always been under surveillance. We arrived at Zhang Dongcheng's home, which is also the home of Zhang Fushun and Wang Guihua. The summer days are long; although it can be considered evening, the sky is still bright. As we pushed open the gate of Zhang Dongcheng's yard, we saw him moving a small stool to sit in the center of the yard, looking up at the sky, lost in thought.

I have always remembered Deputy Director Li's words, which also serve as my bottom line as a police officer: never wrongfully accuse an innocent person, and never let a guilty person go free. The crowd silently watched Deputy Director Li, who at that moment took out his phone, dialed the director's number, and said in a somewhat flattering tone: "Director..."

The person answering the phone was my father. He asked, "Why are you calling home in the middle of the night? Is something wrong? Don't be afraid, take your time to speak..." Although I am already 24 years old, in front of my father, I still feel like a child who has not grown up. His tone was somewhat anxious, filled with concern.

Captain Shi finished speaking and did not look back, walking straight out of the interrogation room. Upon hearing his words, Wang Guihua was suddenly stunned, fell silent, and tears welled up in her eyes, eventually streaming down her face. Yang Xiaojun also secretly wiped her tears. I patted her shoulder, and she said to me: "No matter how strong a woman is, she is still just a woman"

Deputy Director Li understood the subtext of Secretary Wang's words; solving a case would yield performance metrics for that case. Moreover, Wang Guihua had already confessed to her crimes, so why complicate matters further? Wouldn't it be a happy resolution for all to close the case here? Deputy Director Li let out a cold laugh and then said, "Secretary Wang, I hope this is the last time you say such things."

Upon hearing Wang Gang's words, Zhang Dongcheng cracked a smile, but the smile was so tragic, resembling a winter melon with a split skin. Zhang Dongcheng is a few years younger than I am, at an age when one should be achieving great things, yet he will spend his prime years in prison

When we arrived outside the interrogation room, Wang Guihua reiterated her criminal offenses. However, this time Captain Lu focused the questioning on the Li Tang case. Captain Lu asked, "Please repeat how you killed Li Tang."

It was already 1:00 when the call ended, in the quiet of the night, a warm current surged from the depths of my heart, lingering for a long time, this is home

Hi! The father said: "Your mother is right next to me. As soon as she saw it was your call, she got up early. Our son is calling us, come over and listen. I don't want to say much, I'm going to sleep now!"

The person next to me, Yang Xiaojuan, glanced at me and softly said, "It is that stone..."

This question may no longer need to be asked. If a suspect who has not committed murder admits to having killed someone and leaves behind the murder weapon and clothing, it indicates that once she is suspected by the police, she is already prepared to confess. The knife used for the murder was discarded by someone else, and she did not find it, hence it was not left behind. Why would she do this? I believe that she is primarily a mother and only secondarily a suspect

Wang Guihua seems to have become numb, her gaze hollow, as if she has completely lost her faith in being human. She gestures in the air with her hand: "This is how I am, and then I killed him." Through the one-way glass, we all noticed that the actions Wang Guihua performed were directed at the deceased, not away from him.

Handwriting identification has now been generally categorized into nine major types, including overall characteristics, local features, writing style characteristics, and pairing ratios, among others. I am not an expert in this area, but I have a basic understanding. However, Captain Lu has confirmed that Wang Guihua indeed writes with her left hand. Ironically, it is precisely because Wang Guihua did not attend school for many years that she was never corrected by her teachers regarding this 'bad habit'; otherwise, we would not have discovered that Wang Guihua is left-handed

"You are truly not a man!" Wang Gang didn't even bother to look at Zhang Dongcheng: "You actually let your own mother take the blame for what you did! If it were a few years ago, your teeth would have already fallen to the ground!" I heard the sound of Wang Gang's clenched fists cracking; I had previously heard Captain Shi say that Wang Gang came from a single-parent family and was raised by his mother.

Wang Guihua spoke very quickly, revealing his inner anxiety: "The jump rope is on me, you have also found the dagger, and there are bloodstains from Zhang Fushun on that piece of clothing of mine, what else do you want from me?"

The subsequent matters are beyond the level of someone like me to hear, as Deputy Director Li is busy trying to salvage the situation. We also dare not delay, hastily springing into action. Captain Lu is responsible for continuing the interrogation of Wang Guihua, while we go to search for the dagger. The bloodstains on the dagger have already congealed, forming the imprint of a hand, specifically that of the right hand. We also dare not delay, hastily springing into action.

"The interrogation of Zhang Dongcheng will begin tomorrow. Everyone is tired tonight, so let's rest well," said Captain Shi as he brought Zhang Dongcheng back to the bureau

Captain Shi sighed and then said: "I am also a father, I understand. Zhang Dongcheng has already admitted it."

Mother picked up the phone, and a series of questions came at me like a machine gun, catching me off guard: "Son, how is your workplace? Is anyone bullying you? How's the weather there? Have you found a girlfriend? Weren't you supposed to be sleeping? Why are you crawling in front of me? Go sleep your sleep..."

Captain Shi sat down and then said: "Go ahead, tell me, who is the murderer? You are left-handed, while the murderer is not."

Deputy Director Li's assistant, Secretary Wang, said: "Director, the materials have already been prepared and submitted to the higher authorities. Now to overturn this is even more embarrassing than having a special investigation team sent down from above!" Although Secretary Wang's voice was not loud, we all heard it clearly. Indeed, this is a hundred times, a thousand times more embarrassing than having a special investigation team sent down.

I asked several questions in succession, and everyone present realized the seriousness of the situation. Deputy Director Li shouted, "Captain Lu, bring Wang Guihua back immediately! It is not time for the handover yet!" Upon hearing this, Captain Lu dashed out of the conference room in a single leap, his speed comparable to Bogut.

Captain Shi continued, "That person is your son, Zhang Dongcheng"

As he spoke, Deputy Director Li stood up and bowed to me earnestly, which made me feel a bit shy. Deputy Director Li then said: "Nothing is more important than capturing the real murderer. As police officers, we must not wrong an innocent person, nor let a guilty one escape. This is our principle and our bottom line. Don't be fooled by my middle-aged figure; I carry more than just drinks in my belly."

Yang Xiaojuan shook her head and then said decisively: "It is important to understand that it is very difficult for a person to change their dominant hand. Strangling from behind requires immense strength, and no murderer can achieve such precision! However, there is indeed a situation where a left-handed person commits murder but leaves deeper marks on the right side."

Speaking, Yang Xiaojuan used me as a demonstration. She took off her work badge, bent it into a noose, and slipped it around my neck. Grasping the rope with both hands, she turned around, and we presented ourselves back to back. Yang Xiaojuan said: "Using the strength of the back to kill will be faster. In this way, it is exactly the opposite of the previous situation. Although she is left-handed, there will still be a deeper mark on the right side."

"It's nothing much," I said with a smile, "I just missed you and wanted to give you a call. How is my mom?"

Wang Guihua's lifeless eyes suddenly widened, revealing a hint of panic. Then, she tried her best to conceal her emotions, but a mother's instinct to protect her child could not be hidden. She shouted: "I killed the person, I killed Zhang Fushun, I also killed Li Tang, I admit to all of it, what more do you want!"

I made a phone call home, completely unaware that it was already past eleven o'clock at night

Wang Gang understood exactly whom to arrest and has already applied for it
