I Get A Random New Occupation Every Week - Chapter 2379

Chapter 2379: Chapter 2380: Ma Haiqiang Will Also Die Chapter 2379: Chapter 2380: Ma Haiqiang Will Also Die Gloom and terror swept over the three in an instant.

Lin Yi looked into the old woman’s eyes and saw they were resolute, without the slightest hesitation, as if she could truly foresee something.

“Old woman, who is the other person you are talking about?”

“It’s Ma Haiqiang.” The old woman’s tone remained assertive, “He and Fang Daye both have to die.”

Ma Haiqiang!

“Do you know something inside?”

“That fox was discovered in his factory, and Fang Daye killed it. The two of them killed it together and ate the meat,” the old woman babbled:

“Fang Daye is dead, and Ma Haiqiang’s retribution is coming soon…”

The old woman walked towards the darkness ahead with one hand behind her back and the other holding onto a walking stick, clattering along.

Muttering as she went.

“They’ll all die… all die…”

The cold night wind blew through the white lanterns, over the paper effigies of cattle and horses in the yard, and onto the three people.

As if it were seeping through their skin and into their bones.

“Lin Bro…”

Zhang Zixin was a bit scared and stood next to Lin Yi, grabbing his arm.

“It’s nothing, there are no such things in the world, don’t be afraid.”

“But she said that Ma Haiqiang will also die, this is…”

“That man has been caught by us, that’s his retribution,” said Zhang Peng.

“Hope so…”

“What are you doing?”

As the three were startled, Gu Yiran came out of the yard.

“Ji Qingyan,” Zhang Zixin greeted her.

“How’s the situation inside? Did you find anything?”

“The time of death was about twenty hours ago, according to the family’s statement, it happened not long after leaving home.”

“Is there anything peculiar about the coffin?”

Gu Yiran shook her head, “It’s just a very ordinary coffin, no traps or tricks.”

“The problem now is that the coffin has always been there. If the killer wanted to put the victim inside, it would be a tough task. Dead bodies are very heavy, and it’s almost impossible for one person to handle.”

Everyone agreed with Zhang Zixin’s statement.

Unless it’s the Central Guard Brigade or well-trained special forces soldiers, other people would find it difficult to accomplish this task.

From the situation at hand, this was the biggest doubt.

Lin Yi pondered in his heart, if it were him, opening the coffin lid and moving the body wouldn’t be a problem. The greatest risk would be being discovered by others.

It had to be done in the shortest time possible.

But this does not fit with the usual logic of murder.

Because it’s easy to expose oneself.

“What work is still unfinished?”

“We’re almost done. The colleagues inside are discussing autopsy with the family to see if they have the willingness.”

Gu Yiran tucked her hair back, “What’s left is to take the related relatives back for investigation.”

“Did you show the two hairs found on the victim’s face to others?”

Gu Yiran nodded, “Other colleagues took a look and felt like the hairs might have come from an animal, like a husky, or other pet dogs like Samoyeds, or cats, possibly.”

“But it seems they don’t keep these animals at home.”

“Lin Bro…” Zhang Zixin mentioned, “Could it really be fox fur?”

“Hard to say, but it’s possible.”

Gu Yiran glanced at the two.

“Do you two know some other news?”

Lin Yi did not hide anything and told Gu Yiran about what had just happened.

Her brows furrowed tightly, “Even if it’s fox hair, such claims are a bit far-fetched. In this world, there are no such outlandish things.”

“Ji Qingyan, we can’t just deny it outright,” said Zhang Zixin:

“There are many things in the world that sciences cannot explain. I’ve encountered them when I was young.”

“Don’t talk nonsense,” Gu Yiran said sternly:

“Mind your identity. If someone with intentions hears about this, you won’t be able to work at the police station in the future.”

“Understood, Ji Qingyan.”

“The exact source of the hair is not yet determined. Let’s first take it for testing.”

After that, Lin Yi checked the time, “Let’s also head back, and talk to Brother Hui and the others about this.”

“Let’s go.”

Lin Yi and the group drove away from Xiangyang Village.

By the time they returned to the Xinshan branch office, it was past eight in the evening.

“How’s the situation there? Any progress?”

Since Zhang Hui and Zhu Junchi had other matters to attend to, they didn’t go to Xiangyang Village and were waiting for their return.

After listening to Lin Yi and Gu Yiran, the two exchanged glances, both feeling at a loss with a sense of not knowing where to start.

“The killer is quite interesting, he even placed two hairs on the face,” Zhu Junchi said with a cigarette in his mouth: “This kind of case is really uncommon.”

“So it means the killer is smart,” said Zhang Hui:

“Although what he did is very risky, it also creates interference for us. If his plan succeeds, it can reduce the risk of being discovered. From the current situation, he has achieved his goal.”

Zhang Hui flicked his cigarette ash, “The next focus of work is to find the Wuling Hongguang that the victim drove away, and then investigate his family. The killer is very likely someone from the village.”

“And that old woman, she should be checked too, too damn eerie,” said Zhu Junchi.

“Right, we should also investigate her, let’s split into two groups,” said Zhang Hui:

“I’ll look in the matters of the car, Old Zhu, you lead people to investigate the statements, Lin Yi, you two go check out that old woman, see if there are any clues.”

“Alright.”

Lin Yi nodded in agreement, “We brought in a person called Ma Haiqiang tonight. He should be locked up inside, right?”

“He’s inside, we’re almost done questioning him,” Zhang Hui said:

“He has a small fertilizer factory in Xiangyang Village, he’s a bit of a big shot up there, acts rather wildly, but he really hasn’t committed any serious crimes. Mostly just fights, not enough to warrant a sentence.”

“So it’s just detention for seven days.”

“Let’s see how it goes first. We contacted Zhang Long, and he also has the intention to mediate. I plan to have him come over tomorrow, to see if the two can agree.”

Lin Yi nodded and didn’t say anything else.

For ordinary civil disputes, the majority of them are handled through mediation, paying a bit of money would do.

Moreover, if one hasn’t committed any major crime like murder or arson, it’s difficult to proceed with a more serious punishment without it being justified.

“I’ll go have a look.”

“I’ll come with you.”

Lin Yi and Gu Yiran went to the interrogation room together and saw Ma Haiqiang who was locked up inside.

“Officer Lin, you’ve come.”

Ma Haiqiang greeted Lin Yi with a smile, showing none of his domineering demeanor.

“Stop smiling for a moment. I have to tell you something, Fang Daye is dead,” Lin Yi said indifferently.
