Chapter 281: The Haunted House

Chapter 281: The Haunted House

“Is your family that rich?”

Zhou Ze gave Zhang Yanfeng a cigarette and asked.

There was a reason why he asked this question.

Moreover, Zhou Ze felt that this reason was very relevant to him because it was related to him. At least for a while, it was like this.

What was the difference between a nephew and a nephew?

A nephew was the child of your sister and your brother-in-law. It did not take your family name.

A nephew is your brother. A brother is your sister-in-law. A sister-in-law"s child has the same family name as you.

A child born in your own family is a nephew. A child born in another family is a nephew. Because your sister and sister are married to another family, the child born is also another family"s.

Of course, there was a special case. This special case was that if that person was a son-in-law who came to visit, it would be different.

If boss Zhou hadn"t interfered, Xu Le"s status at that time would have been similar to Zhang Yanfeng"s brother-in-law"s treatment.

“In the past, my family opened a small factory. When my parents were around, they arranged this marriage for my sister. My father was also a police officer. My mother used to manage the factory. “After my sister got married, the factory"s matters were basically left to my brother-in-law to manage. I"m not good at doing business anyway, so I didn"t bother to put in any effort.

“After the incident five years ago, the factory stopped working. My parents also pa.s.sed away a few years ago because of this incident.”

When Zhang Yanfeng said these words, he was like an outsider. This was his professional instinct. He was a veteran criminal police officer, so he naturally knew that some emotional things were not suitable to be brought into the work.

“Wait a minute.”

Zhou ze raised his hand in puzzlement,

“Your brother-in-law has already gone in, right?”

“Yes, he has gone in because of the crime of torture.”

“Then who hung up the villa and sold it?”Zhou ze asked curiously.

Yingying had already transferred the ownership of this villa, so this property, which was officially owned by Zhang Yanfeng"s sister"s family, was now considered Yingying"s property, which was also Zhou Ze"s property.

“Sold?”Zhang Yanfeng frowned. Obviously, he didn"t know about this.

“Yes, it should have been bought by my family.”

“You bought this house?”

“Can"t I?”

“You…”Zhang Yanfeng didn"t know what to say.

“So if you don"t come to beg me for help this time, I will come to take a look. No matter what, I have to clean up some of my own house.”

“Maybe my brother-in-law"s relatives are selling the house. At that time, my brother-in-law"s name was also written on the house.”

“This is your family"s business. Anyway, it"s reasonable and legal for me to buy a house here.”

“It"s just a house. What I want is the truth. The truth about the death of my sister and my two nephews,”Zhang Yanfeng said in a deep voice.

It"s just a house..,

zhou Ze took a deep breath,

heavens.

This villa had not been cleaned for a long time. Zhang Yanfeng would come over from time to time, but it was unrealistic to ask him to clean the entire place with a broom, mop, and cloth.

The sofa was also covered in a layer of dust. Zhou ze blew on it and then sat down. He asked,

“Tell me more about the specific situation. I haven"t finished reading the file. It was suicide by poison, right?”

“Yes, a suicide by poison. At that time, my sister and her two children snuggled up to each other and died there.”

“Where?”

“On the sofa where you"re sitting now.”

“…”Zhou Ze.

Zhou ze even turned his head to look, but he didn"t see anything. Of course, he wasn"t so scared that he jumped up. Boss Zhou had seen all kinds of storms, so why would he be afraid of this?

“Since it"s a suicide, why is it related to your brother-in-law?”Zhou Ze was a little puzzled. “Hey, could it be that you"re deliberately discouraged?”

This was just a joke. Zhou Ze still believed in Zhang Yanfeng"s integrity. He was a good policeman and wouldn"t do such a thing.

“This matter involves my relatives, so I avoided it, and it wasn"t a case that I handled specifically.

At that time, the one who found the body was the nanny who came to clean the house every day. She called the police.

When the police examined the body, they found that my sister and her two children had obvious marks of being tied up and abused. Moreover, there were old and new marks, which proved that they had been abused and abused for a long time.

Therefore, the police"s investigation concluded that they decided to commit suicide because they couldn"t tolerate long-term domestic violence and abuse. My sister did something stupid, and she took her two children and poisoned herself.”

“Isn"t the case very clear?”Zhou ze asked.

“My brother-in-law didn"t admit it,”Zhang Yanfeng said.

“But he was still sentenced.”

“Although it wasn"t murder, he was sentenced to ten years. The reason was imprisonment and abuse, which led to serious consequences,”Zhang Yanfeng said.

“So, what"s the reason for you to continue investigating?”Zhou ze asked curiously.

The case was really clear.

“My brother-in-law isn"t like that. Although he"s a visiting son-in-law, our family treats him very well. My parents are even closer to him than they are to my own son.”

Zhou Ze picked his ears,

everyone in the family said the same thing,

zhou Ze could guarantee that when doctor Lin"s parents told their relatives about him, they would also say that they treated this son-in-law very well. However, this son-in-law was now an ingrate who didn"t even return home.

“My Sister"s personality is also very good. She is very gentle and considerate.”

Zhou ze dug his ears again. Every brother said the same thing.

“My brother-in-law"s person is also not bad. I personally met him back then and also pa.s.sed the test. He is not that kind of person.”

“People change,”Zhou Ze comforted.

For some reason, after listening to this narrative, Zhou Ze felt that Zhang Yanfeng was like a child who was throwing a tantrum.

F * ck,

can these be considered as a reason?

He is good and we are good,

this was just like the per capita income from the survey,

who would believe it?

“I have seen and examined the bodies of my sister and her two children.”Zhang Yanfeng sat down on the floor, not caring about whether the floor was dirty or not. Of course, Zhou Ze felt that this fellow"s body was dirtier than the floor, it was full of the look of a dirty cop from a TV series.

However, this kind of dirty cop was very popular with young female police officers.

This case was not organized by Zhang Yanfeng, but with his ident.i.ty, there was no problem for him to look at the files and the bodies.

“There are indeed a lot of scars and bruises on her body, and they are very serious. There are both new and old injuries. It seems that some of the injuries have been there for years.

“Ever since my sister got married, she has basically been taking care of the children at home. She rarely goes out and has little contact with the outside world. She is a full-time female writer and likes to stay at home.”

“And then?”Zhou Ze yawned.

“But, the problem is that a week before the murder, when my son had just finished his college entrance examination, I took him to the water park to play. I took my nephew and niece with me.”

At this point,

zhang Yanfeng"s eyes suddenly turned red. Like a hungry wolf, he roared at Zhou Ze:

“I swear, at that time, I saw that my nephew and niece did not have any injuries at all!

“Then this d.a.m.n…”

“A week later, when they died…”

“Where did those shocking old injuries come from? !”

Zhou Ze was stunned.

A week before the murder, Zhang Yanfeng had brought his son, nephew, and niece to the water park. The two children must have been wearing swimsuits, and the nephew must have only been wearing a pair of underpants. Zhang Yanfeng, an old criminal policeman, would definitely be able to tell at a glance whether he was injured or not.

If he was certain that there were no injuries, then there definitely weren"t any.

If there were, there was no need to wait for the murder to happen. Zhang Yanfeng would definitely have gone to find trouble with his brother-in-law with a gun that day.

This was strange,

after a person died..,

there would be more wounds on their body? And they could even make old wounds?

Zhou Ze had heard that some antiques could be aged. The real thing could be made into a paste. Calligraphy and painting could be aged. But the wounds on a dead person"s body could also be made?

“So, this is the reason why I think there is a problem with this case!”Zhang Yanfeng took a deep breath and exhaled heavily. “It is also the reason why I believe what my brother-in-law said. He did not abuse my sister and the two children.”

“But what you said can not be used as evidence,”Zhou Ze said.

Zhang Yanfeng nodded. “Yes, what I said can not be used as evidence. Moreover, the forensic examination has confirmed that the two children have been tortured for at least two years.”

Zhou ze stood up and looked around.

“If that"s the case, then the matter is a little unbelievable.”

“I"ve been investigating this case for a long time, but I didn"t have any leads until I got to know you. I feel that if you"re willing to help me, you can definitely help me find a breakthrough.

“That iron chain tortured me for 20 years, and it was also you who solved it.”

“Don"t be in such a hurry to flatter me. You want to say that there"s an inhuman factor behind this case, right?”

“Dong Dong Dong! Dong Dong Dong Dong!”

At this moment, the sound of a collision suddenly came from upstairs.

Zhou Ze and Zhang Yanfeng looked at each other and directly rushed up the stairs.

“That is the bedroom, my sister"s bedroom.”

The sound came from that side.

Zhang Yanfeng directly knocked open the door.

But there was nothing in the bedroom.

However, even Zhou Ze could confirm that the sound just now was indeed coming from here.

“Dong Dong Dong… Dong Dong Dong…”

The voice came again!

“Under the bed!”

Zhang Yanfeng immediately took out his gun and kicked the bed away.

Under the bed,

there was actually a teddy covered in blood,

it was moving its body from side to side and kept waving its claws.

Even when someone came, it continued to wriggle as if it did not notice.

Zhou Ze squatted down and reached out to press down on the Teddy. The Teddy was still struggling in pain, as if it was enduring some kind of torture.

But soon..,

it stopped moving.

Lying on the ground on its last breath, there was not much spirit left in its eyes.

“Someone else"s pet ran in?”Zhang Yanfeng pointed at the dog tag on the Teddy and said.

This was obviously someone else"s pet. It was definitely not some stray dog.

“Don"t worry. Look here.”

Zhou ze pointed at the wounds on Teddy"s body,


“These wounds have already healed. They"re old wounds..,

these are wounds that have just opened up. They haven"t scabbed yet.”

As he said that..,

zhou ze turned his head to look at Zhang Yanfeng and asked,

“Does it look like your sister?”
