Chapter 164 Where Is the Body?
Wu Xiaoli refused to cooperate, so the interrogation had to come to a temporary end.
The three of them came out together, and Yan Zhan looked very relaxed. Seeing that Cen Lian was still frowning at Wu Xiaoli in the interrogation room, he said, "Don't worry, Captain Cen, she will confess in two days. Her mental defense has collapsed."
"I know this. I suspect that she didn't dismember or dump the body," Cen Lian didn't give a reason, "so I just tried to trick her. Her subconscious answer didn't seem to be fake."
Speaking of this, Yan Zhan's expression became serious again.
"I also noticed that she was nervous after answering your question. It should be related to the eldest daughter Liu Xue you mentioned."
Cen Lian finally succeeded in leading Yan Zhan's thoughts to Liu Xue, "I think it's difficult for her to dismember the body by herself with her body that has just given birth for less than five months, so let's try with her three adult daughters."
Yan Zhan nodded, and seemed to agree with Cen Lian's idea.
Forensic Doctor Lin held the interrogation record in his hand and said confidently: "From the questions and answers between you, I can be sure that she has no mental illness with a high probability. Of course, intermittent mental disorders and other diseases cannot be completely ruled out. This requires more rigorous identification."
Cen Lian knew that when Forensic Doctor Lin spoke, she had the habit of not speaking full words after years of studying medicine. The fact that she could say the four words "high probability" showed that Forensic Doctor Lin herself was completely sure that Wu Xiaoli did not have any mental illness.
"Let the procuratorate worry about this," Yan Zhan had already set his sights on Wu Xiaoli's daughter Liu Xue, "Summon Liu Xue first, and I don't know if they have found anything at Wu Xiaoli's home."
Cen Lian originally wanted to go to the scene, but it was difficult to direct other people's attention to Liu Xue if he did not participate in the interrogation, so he could only call Wu Qiushan.
The call was answered by Yuan Chenxi.
"Captain, Brother Yue is extracting hair, is there anything?" There were several people walking and talking on the other end of the phone, and they should still be searching Wu Xiaoli's house.
"Tell Brother Yue that we now suspect that her daughter Liu Xue may have participated in the dismemberment of the body. After we finish investigating Wu Xiaoli's house, we will go directly to Liu Xue's house. The search warrant is being applied for." After saying this, Cen Lian added, "I will go there in a while, and we will meet at Liu Xue's house then."
Yan Zhan and his men went to Liu Xue's house to look for someone just like in the morning, and Cen Lian followed them.
Considering the possibility that there might be remains of the body, forensic doctor Lin also followed.
Tang Hua stepped on the accelerator, and his mind was filled with the interrogation he had just heard at the door.
They drove this car from Kang'an City, and there were only four of them in the car.
Wang Yuanteng didn't say much, and it was unknown what he was thinking. Tang Hua asked curiously, "So do you really think that her daughter assisted her in dismembering the body?"
"Not necessarily assisting," Cen Lian recalled the criminal record he had seen, "From Wu Xiaoli's expression, I feel that she really didn't know about dismembering the body."
Just now during the interrogation, when Wu Xiaoli heard her say dismembering the body, her subconscious reaction was not "I didn't dismember the body" but "I didn't dismember the body", which means that her focus fell on "whether the body was dismembered" rather than "whether I dismembered the body".
This means that either Wu Xiaoli didn't know about dismembering the body at all, or she already knew about it but didn't want to expose it.
Cen Lian was not sure how deep the mother-daughter relationship between her and Liu Xue was, but from Wu Xiaoli's current performance, it seemed more likely that she didn't know about dismembering the body at all.
If this is true, it means that Liu Xue's dismemberment was carried out without Wu Xiaoli's knowledge.
Before the car drove to Liu Xue's house, Cen Lian had been thinking about various possibilities in his mind, even whether her husband might be an insider.
But after seeing her, Cen Lian had only one thought in his mind - it was probably she who did it.
Because Liu Xue looked at them with an expression of relief that was hard to describe.
"You are finally here," she even smiled, "After ten years, I can finally sleep well."
Yan Zhan immediately realized what Liu Xue meant.
"Did you dismember and dump the bodies of those children?" He immediately stood in front of Liu Xue, and several other criminal police officers also surrounded her.
"I'll go with you," Liu Xue looked back at the empty house, "I thought I could keep it a secret for a while, but fortunately the third child had finished his political review last year."
Cen Lian looked inside the house and realized that Liu Xue's husband and children had moved out, and she was the only one in the house.
Liu Xue reached out to Yan Zhan, put on the handcuffs without any resistance, and even took the initiative to get into the police car.
Forensic doctor Lin looked at the changes in front of him, and only put on shoe covers and walked into the house after confirming that the two female clerks brought by Yan Zhan were enough to take Liu Xue back.
This is a rural courtyard with some years, two floors, and some fruits and vegetables planted in the backyard, which is no different from other courtyards of neighbors.
After a simple tour of the house, Lin Forensic Doctor came to the backyard and quickly found a new soil that seemed to have been turned over recently.
"Let's dig it up here," she was not sure whether the body was buried in the backyard, "there may be something inside."
The two criminal police quickly dug up the place where Lin Forensic Doctor said, but there was no body inside, only the clothes Yang Linxuan was wearing when he disappeared and the small backpack he was carrying.
Wu Qiushan had already arrived at this time, so he directly carefully extracted the things and took them away.
After standing up, Lin Forensic Doctor saw a slope outside through the door of the backyard.
It seemed that someone had turned it over.
"What is that place over there?" She asked the village chief who had followed her.
Because there was no building at the location of the mound, it seemed that the whole village had deliberately avoided it.
The village chief became hesitant after seeing the mound.
After hearing the movement, Cen Lian exchanged glances with Forensic Doctor Lin.
Before the village chief could say anything, Tang Hua and Cen Lian turned over the new soil in the mound.
But after a few shovels, more than one infant skeleton was dug out.
Seeing this, Lin Forensic Doctor came over and saw another body that was turned out from the deep because Tang Hua worked too hard.
It was the skeleton of a baby, who looked like he had just been born.
The village chief cleared his throat awkwardly.
"That's where the children who died at birth were buried here." He explained.
Tang Hua dug silently. When Cen Lian helped Lin the forensic doctor to clean up the baby's skeleton, he found the skeleton of a child who looked less than three years old.
"He was also born dead?" Tang Hua asked loudly.
The village chief took a look and said, "He was accidentally drowned."
Tang Hua snorted coldly and simply dug up the whole pile of earth with several other policemen who came to help.
Thirteen skeletons were neatly lying inside.
Except for the two that Liu Xue had dismembered and buried, the rest were all the skeletons of babies less than two years old.
Without exception, they were all baby girls.
Lin the forensic doctor sighed, but didn't know what to say.
