Chapter 220 Will Someone Come to Silence Me?
After all, ordinary people have not received professional training and cannot beat the police at all. The middle-aged man was defeated after a few rounds.
According to the middle-aged man, he received a text message saying that the police had found the murderer but had been covering him up. If they made a fuss, they could force them to hand over the murderer earlier, so that they could demand compensation.
"So, just based on a text message, you dare to come to the Public Security Bureau and cause trouble? That person didn't do you any good?! You'd better tell the truth. When we find out, the nature of the matter will be different."
Several people looked around, and one of the older men raised his hand and said, "Old Lu gave me three hundred yuan and asked us to accompany him." He pointed at the middle-aged man who had taken the lead.
"What?! Lao Lu gave you 300 yuan, but he only gave me 200 yuan." A younger man turned and glared at the middle-aged man, "You have to pay me 100 yuan later, or I will never forgive you."
"We didn't receive the text message. He was the one who told us." The other people also pointed at Lao Lu.
The middle-aged man was sweating, and Qi Lei looked at him with amusement.
"Will you confess yourself, or wait until we find out?"
"I have no choice." Lao Lu wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Lao Lu borrowed tens of thousands of yuan in high-interest loans for gambling. He was unable to pay it back when it was due and had to hide from place to place. This morning, he was blocked in an alley by the loan sharks.
He was so scared that he knelt on the ground, kowtowed and begged for mercy. He knew these people's methods. The mildest punishment was that the victim would have his hands and feet broken, and the worst was that his life would be in danger.
But unexpectedly, the leader told him that if he could get the job done, the debt would be written off and he would also pay him a reward of 10,000 yuan.
When he heard about this good deal, which didn't involve him having to kill anyone or set anything else on fire, he agreed. They even paid him five thousand up front and would pay him another five thousand after the job was done.
He just lied, there was no text message at all.
Su Xiaoxiao and her team quickly found the two people from the media. They were actually so-called marketing accounts who were paid to do things.
As long as someone pays, they can write anything that is a lie, not to mention the issue of the credibility of government departments. As long as it is made public, no matter whether the truth is what others say, it can at least attract attention and traffic.
They did receive information telling them what time and where to be today and what exciting things to see.
Not to mention that they had the news in advance, even if they had no news, as long as someone was causing trouble, they would be able to smell the scent and come over, not to mention there was money to be made. They even had the manuscripts ready, and when the time came, they would add a few photos, and they would get the guaranteed traffic.
Although the disturbance caused by the victim's family was resolved in time, there were onlookers at the scene and some self-media people who still posted the news online. Once the incident became a hot topic, the attention it received increased exponentially.
Not surprisingly, the Municipal Bureau was once again criticized and became a hot topic.
Now, not only Captain Zhai and Deputy Director Qi were reprimanded, but Director Sun and Deputy Director Li were also reprimanded by the city leaders, who asked them to solve the case as soon as possible and give the public an explanation.
The Municipal Bureau issued a police report on the same day, explaining today's situation. It was someone who deliberately caused trouble. Please do not believe the rumors. We will report in a timely manner after the case is solved.
The serial murder case had been unsolved for three years, but was brought back into the public eye because of this incident.
Captain Zhai called everyone to a meeting. Previously, not too many police forces were used on this case, but now due to the pressure of solving the case, more people are needed to participate.
Qi Lei informed everyone of the current situation.
Regarding this incident, the team members generally believed that the real murderer might be anxious and wanted to prove Lu Cheng's guilt and close the case as soon as possible, so he wanted to use the pressure of public opinion to force the police to close the case as soon as possible.
However, Su Xiaoxiao has a different opinion.
"I originally thought so too. The murderer used public opinion to force us to solve the case as soon as possible because the current evidence all points to Lu Cheng.
He was the first person to discover the deceased Zhao Meng three years ago. He was the most likely person to cut off Zhao Meng's hair to fake the scene. Not long after that, his wife Yin Yi received 200,000 yuan in her account, and the source of this 200,000 yuan could not be explained.
Now several wigs were found in his room, two of which were tested and matched the hair of two of the deceased. Some women's products were also found. All this indicates that Lu Cheng may be a pervert.
In addition, he had lost his memory, so even if the case was closed as a psychopathic murderer, he would not be able to refute it.
But, I just thought about it again.
If they really wanted to pin the blame on Lu Cheng, they shouldn't have attracted media attention. The less attention they drew, the easier it would be for them to do something. Moreover, if they bribed so many people to do something, it would be easy for us to find out, which would make us think that someone was framing Lu Cheng.
The murderer has been hiding for so many years. The less he moves, the harder it is for us to find him. The more noise he makes, the easier it is for him to reveal his flaws.
So, I think the one who caused the trouble was not the murderer, he is not that stupid. It should be someone else, as to who it is, I have not figured it out yet, but give me some time, I should be able to find out. "
Having said this, she paused. Seeing that the team members were all thoughtful, she exchanged glances with Qi Lei, and Qi Lei nodded to her.
"In fact, there is one more thing that Vice President Qi didn't mention just now. Lu Cheng actually didn't lose his memory."
What? No amnesia! The team members all had shocked expressions on their faces.
“Yes, he was pretending to have amnesia because he felt someone was trying to kill him. Before he knew who it was, he could only pretend to have amnesia to protect himself.
He also provided a piece of information. He said he met a person at the entrance of the alley where he found Zhao Meng. He told the police officers who responded to the call about this situation. However, when we read the transcript, we found that there was no record of this.
It is not clear who lied.”
This was roughly the situation. After Su Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she sat down and Team Leader Zhai arranged the next steps for everyone.
That night, Su Xiaoxiao took Xiaoyu to wait at the door of Lu Cheng's house.
"Do you think anyone will really come?" Xiao Yu asked.
"I don't know, maybe."
Su Xiaoxiao thought that the bait had been put down, and whether the fish would be caught or not was no longer under her control.
This was something she and Qi Lei had discussed. Today's commotion must have disrupted the murderer's plans, so why not just let them make matters worse?
That's why she spread the news that Lu Cheng did not lose his memory and that he saw someone during the meeting. If there was really something fishy going on among them, the murderer would definitely receive the news.
They are betting whether someone will come to kill and silence them.
But this matter couldn't be known to others, so Su Xiaoxiao brought Xiao Yu over, and Deputy Qi was guarding on the other side of the road.
As the two were talking, a motorcycle quietly drove over and stopped next to Lu Cheng's house.
