Chapter 42 The Real Killer is Captured
(The first 41 chapters are blocked; read them tomorrow.)
May 16th, Sunday.
It's been a week since I returned from Shanghai.
During this week, Wu Song didn't encounter any cases that required the Major Crimes Unit's intervention, nor any major operations that required their participation, so he had a relatively leisurely time.
"what!"
"A small bottle of Erguotou will leave you feeling refreshed and invigorated the next day!"
At seven o'clock in the morning, I sat up on my specially made iron bed, got dressed, and pulled open the curtains.
Light snow had already begun to fall outside.
"The snow isn't heavy!"
Opening the windows to let in some fresh air, Wu Song once again stepped into the kitchen, which felt somewhat cramped for him.
Today, I not only have to bring food for my older brother, but also sell fish for him, Wuqiang.
It's giving, not helping.
My older brother is going on a blind date.
Thinking that his elder brother was finally taking care of his marriage, Wu Song smiled knowingly.
Last night, I talked with my older brother for a long time.
Marry a virtuous wife.
Don't worry too much about appearance; being virtuous is the most important thing.
What good is beauty if you have a heart of stone?
Wu Song couldn't help but think of his sister-in-law, whom he had killed with his own hands in his previous life.
In any case, we can't let this modern-day big brother repeat the same mistakes.
Another plate of Yangzhou fried rice, plus a bowl of seaweed and egg drop soup.
After quickly finishing the meal and packing it in a food box, Wu Song rode his Yangwuyang Honda 125 to the market and handed the food to his older brother, Wu Qiang. "Brother, after you finish eating, go buy some new clothes, get a haircut, and take a shower. Don't worry about me here."
"Taking a shower is necessary, out of respect. But a haircut is unnecessary. Your brother isn't some handsome young man; he's over thirty. Why does he care so much?"
After quickly finishing his task, he instructed Wu Song, "Don't get into conflicts with anyone," and then left.
"Avoid getting into conflicts with people?"
Wu Song shook his head and smiled.
Very few people would argue with him. Even if someone wanted to get angry, their eyes would instantly become clear after seeing Wu Song's height and build.
The only group that could be considered to have a dispute was the group of people I met on that bus when I first arrived in this thousand years later.
As for that group of people...
If they were all moving quickly, it might have already been over 100 days.
"Boss, clean this fish for me."
"Okay!"
……
It's 1:30 PM.
Big Brother Wu Qiang is back.
"Xiao Song, this is food I packed for you from a restaurant I passed by on my way back. Are you hungry? Eat up."
"Brother, how did the blind date go?"
"With your brother involved, of course there's no problem." The eldest brother, Wu Qiang, beamed. "Today's blind date went quite well; who knows, you might have a sister-in-law soon!"
"Then I'll have to give you a big red envelope."
"Hey, Xiao Song, did you catch that criminal you arrested in Shanghai?"
"No!" Wu Song shook his head. "They're probably hiding in some city. With over a billion people, they're hard to find!"
"Hey, why would anyone kill someone out of the blue?" Wu Qiang sighed, then smiled and gestured with his chin towards the door. "Not many people will be buying fish this afternoon, so go ahead and do what you need to do."
"I'm off then! I'll ride my motorcycle and enjoy the breeze."
"Ride slowly!"
"Don't worry, bro."
Arriving at a nearby parking lot, Wu Song got on his motorcycle and rode aimlessly through the streets of Gotham.
And that's why Wu Song did this.
Going for a drive is only one reason.
Wu Song mainly wanted to see if he could encounter any murderers shrouded in black mist on the streets.
We can light an extra stick of incense then.
Although we hadn't found the murderer in the previous few trips, who knew we wouldn't find him this time either?
If you happen to run into one, it'll be a bonus.
After cycling through one street, there's another street to go.
Watching all sorts of people on the road, Wu Song didn't find it boring at all, and just rode from street to street.
I rode from 2 o'clock until almost 5 o'clock.
The sky was getting dark; the sun was about to set.
Wu Song also decided to go home after cycling the last street.
I had only ridden a hundred meters when I arrived at the entrance of a residential area. I saw a woman wrapped in a down jacket walking inside, and black mist was rising from her body!
"I've searched high and low, but I haven't found it anywhere!"
Finally, I've encountered someone with black mist surrounding them!
Wu Song even felt his heart beating faster.
I've been wandering around the streets for so long, I don't even know how much gas I've spent.
In the end, it wasn't all for nothing!
Stop the motorcycle.
Considering that not everyone would lose their composure upon hearing that someone was arresting them, Wu Song did not resort to trickery to avoid alerting the suspect. Instead, he wanted to first ascertain the suspect's identity and address before conducting further investigation.
Therefore, Wu Song strode past the woman from her left at a speed much faster than she could.
Then, he casually glanced at the residential buildings and people to his left rear, before turning his head to look at the woman to his right rear.
When you see the other person.
Wu Song felt as if his heart had been suddenly squeezed.
Although the other person wore black-rimmed glasses and had thick bangs that reached above their eyes.
But that face shape, those eyes.
Wu Song will never forget!
They won't admit their mistakes.
"Li Ailian!"
As soon as Wu Song uttered those three words, the woman stopped and looked at him.
A hint of surprise flashed across her face, followed by a faint smile.
Which bureau are you from?
"Chengbei Branch Criminal Investigation Brigade, Major Crimes Unit 3!"
"You guys are pretty impressive!" Li Ailian raised her hands and stretched them out in front of her, laughing as she said, "Actually, I would have turned myself in even if you hadn't caught me. I just didn't expect you to come so quickly. There's no time like the present, so let's do it today."
You don't need to go through all that trouble, playing mind games with me, setting traps for me, or trying to find out anything. Just make an outline, and I'll tell you everything.
"Confess?"
"Of course!" Li Ailian nodded with a smile. "The fact that Liu Jianshe has come out means that you've seen through my plan."
In that case, I'd rather hide everywhere, live like a rat, and then one day be recognized by someone, or be found by you, and sentenced to death.
Rather than that, I'd rather take on what I'm supposed to do first, and then I can live my own life after I'm released.
"Hmm?" Wu Song raised an eyebrow. "You murdered Li Yanan and Zhang Weida, so why do you think you can still get out and live your own life?"
"You've found him? You went to Shanghai?" Li Ailian sneered. "Yes, I killed both of them."
"So you still think you can get out?"
Wu Song took out the handcuffs he was carrying and cuffed his hands.
If Li Ailian is imprisoned for murdering two people, there's a 99% chance she'll be executed without any consequences.
Everything Li Ailian was thinking was pure wishful thinking.
"Slow down." Li Ailian smiled slightly at Wu Song. "I'm pregnant. Don't accidentally hurt the baby in my belly."
