Detective From the Future

Chapter 162: Unexpected harvest.

Cao Yang was stunned for a moment and said puzzled: "Mr. Police officer, stop joking, who wants to kill me?"

"Follow us to the police station, and I'll tell you the details," Li Hui said.

"I can't leave now, I have a canteen to run," Cao Yang was a little embarrassed.

"It's your life that matters, or the canteen that matters, how come you don't want to know what's going on," Li Hui snorted.

"Mr. Police officer, if you really have something to say, say it directly, why should I go to the police station?" Cao Yang frowned.

"What we are going to tell you has to do with a criminal case. What if people come to your canteen and hear what we are going to tell you?" Han Bin asked.

"Okay, wait a minute; I'll change my clothes," Cao Yang said, turning and walking towards the backyard.

Han Bin and Li Hui also followed him into the backyard, and after entering the garden, Li Hui couldn't help but complain: "It's already the end of September, why are there so many flies?"

Han Bin frowned and found there were indeed a lot of flies in the garden. Many flies surrounded the open space on the left side of the yard. On the left side of the yard, there was a small vegetable field with cilantro and shallots, but the right side was empty, nothing was planted in it and there were no flies. When Han Bin approached, he slightly smelled a stench, and maggots could still be seen in the ground. Flies flew overhead and maggots crawled on the ground. Han Bin was fully aware of the problem, pointed to the ground, and winked at Li Hui. Li Hui understood and picked up the shovel leaning against the wall.

"Mr. Police officer, let's go," Cao Yang came out of the house.

"Cao Yang, why is this land empty?" Han Bin asked.

"Oh, it was planted with leeks before. My daughter was too naughty. She pulled out all the leeks, and I didn't plant anymore," Cao Yang explained.

"Scallions and cilantro are on the other side, I think they look pretty good, why didn't your daughter take them out?" Han Bin asked.

"My daughter doesn't like eating cilantro," Cao Yang said.

There's too much superficiality here, and it's possible for kids to tear up vegetables, but it's highly unlikely that a single vegetable will be uprooted without destroying other plants.

Shortly after the headless body was discovered, the task force started looking for Li Tao, but there was no news of Li Tao. The members of the third team discussed and analyzed that Li Tao might be worried about the murder of the hit man being discovered, so he ran away in fear that he would be drawn into this crime, but Han Bin considered this possibility unlikely. Li Tao was very persistent in killing Cao Yang, and the hit man failed, so he would probably use other means. Now it seems there is another possibility; Li Tao is dead.

Thinking of this, Han Bin said to Li Hui next to him: "Dig here, please Li Hui."

Li Hui walked to the open space and prepared to dig with a shovel.

"Mr. Police officer, what are you doing? Why are you digging my land?" Cao Yang rushed over and asked.

"We are investigating a murder case, please cooperate with the police," Han Bin said: "Do not disturb our work,"

Cao Yang grabbed the shovel and stopped Li Hui from digging.

At that time, there is nothing to be polite about. Han Bin touched the electric baton hanging from his waist and snarled: "Go to the wall."

"Hold your head in your hands and squat down," Han Bin said.

"Yes, Mr. Police officer," Cao Yang was stunned, his forehead was already sweating.

With Han Bin controlling Cao Yang, Li Hui was able to dig in peace. The shovel is lowered to dig in the ground formerly planted with maggots. Li Hui dug several shovels in a row. About half a meter deep, the shovel couldn't remove any more soil, it encountered something solid. Removing the layer of soil, he discovered a black plastic sheet covered in maggots. The plastic sheet was torn with the shovel, and a rotten human leg appeared inside.

Although Li Hui was prepared, he couldn't help but take a few steps back; the smell was too overwhelming. After seeing Li Hui's actions, Cao Yang stood up and looked around.

"Clap!"

Han Bin took the electric baton from his belt and pointed at Cao Yang's nose: "Don't move, get down."

"Ah! What's wrong?" Cao Yang panicked.

"Get down," Han Bin growled dryly.

"I, I..."

Cao Yang wanted to say something, but when he saw the electric baton in Han Bin's hand, he was loose and still squatted on the ground as instructed. Han Bin stepped forward quickly, pressed his knee against Cao Yang's back, prevented him from getting up, chained his hands, and heaved a sigh of relief.

"Get up."

Cao Yang stood up and shouted: "You police can't arrest people without a warrant, and I'll sue you, you insult people!"

Han Bin took Cao Yang to the pit: "What is this?"

Cao Yang glanced up, his body softened and collapsed on the ground

...

Half an hour later, Zheng Kaixuan came to the scene with the forensic and technical team. The corpse was so badly decomposed that it was impossible to identify its appearance and the identity of the deceased could only be determined by DNA identification.

Han Bin and Li Hui escorted Cao Yang to the Qingdao Third Criminal Investigation Team Branch and went to the interrogation room. Cao Yang was a bit helpless, and his hands were shaking violently.

Han Bin opened his notebook and regularly asked: "Name, age, sex, function,..."

"I... my name is Cao..."

Cao Yang hesitated for a long time and didn't say a whole sentence.

Han Bin walked over to the table and waved his hand: "Don't be nervous, take a deep breath."

After a while, Cao Yang calmed down:

"Cao Yang, my name is Cao Yang, I really haven't committed a crime, I'm 40 years old..."

"..."

"Whose body in the yard?" Han Bin asked.

"I don't know, I really don't know."

"Is this the late Li Tao?" Han Bin asked.

"Li Tao, I don't know him, how could I kill him."

"You don't know him, but he knows you and hired someone to kill you, so you have a strong motivation to kill him," Li Hui interjected.

"I really don't know him. I'm too shy. I dare not even turn off the lights at night when I sleep alone. How could I kill someone," Cao Yang said while crying.

"Then explain to me why there is a corpse in your yard," Han Bin asked.

Cao Yang hesitated, opened his mouth, then lowered his head.

"Speak."

"I don't know what to say," Cao Yang said.

"Knock Knock."

The door to the interrogation room was knocked on twice, then the door opened, and Qiao Zi Ming from the forensic department came in and delivered a report to Han Bin.

"Thank you."

Qiao Zi Ming nodded, looked at Cao Yang, and walked out. Han Bin lowered his head and carefully looked at the document. This is the autopsy report of the deceased. The time of death was around August 30 and the cause of death was poison.

After reading the report, Han Bin made up his mind and asked: "Where were you on August 30?"

"I don't remember I think That day, that day I remember, it seems like I went to work somewhere else."

"Where did you go? What time did you leave? Who can prove it?"

Cao Yang remembered for a moment and then said: "I left at eight o'clock in the morning, with two people from the same village, one named Zhao Xu Xin and the other named Wang Zi Shan."

"When did you come back?"

"September 10."

Han Bin again returned to the original topic, asking about the corpse. Cao Yang closed his mouth again. Twenty minutes later, Han Bin interrupted the interrogation.

The Major Crimes Unit's task force was dismantled, but its office still remained reserved for the third team due to the investigation of the hit-and-run murder case. As soon as he entered the office, Zheng Kaixuan asked directly: "How was the interrogation?"

"Cao Yang refused to confess and gave an alibi, which needs to be confirmed," Han Bin said.

"As soon as we ask about the corpse, this kid pretends to be stupid, and there must be something wrong," Li Hui snorted.

"You said, is Li Tao deceased?" Sun Xing asked. After this last disambiguation, he became much more cautious.

"According to the current situation, it is very likely that the deceased is Li Tao, but if you want confirmation, you should wait for the DNA comparison results," Zheng Kaixuan spread his hands.

"Tsk tsk, if the corpse is really Li Tao's, this whole thing is fucking bullshit. Li Tao hired a murderer to kill Cao Yang, but he didn't kill Cao Yang. The two murderers killed each other and one of them finally managed to kill and throw off his fellow's body into Moon River," Li Hui said.

"However, this Cao Yang looks cowardly, and it looks like he doesn't dare to kill," Wei Zi Mo said.

Li Hui reached out and patted Wei Zi Mo on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Dude, remember one sentence, don't bully honest people, otherwise, it will be too late to regret it."
