I'm just a trainee police officer. I don't really want to solve the case.

Chapter 112 Imitation Crime

Originally, Su Xiaoxiao didn't notice Jiang Hong. When they were chatting with the taxi driver that day, he was not among the drivers they were paying attention to.

It was one of the restaurants where several taxi drivers had their regular meals. Most of them ate boxed lunches. They sat around a simple dining table and a few plastic stools.

At that time, there were several tables there, all occupied by taxi drivers, and the table where Jiang Hong was sitting was at the very edge.

She didn't pay attention to them at first, until she heard them talking about cat, Jiang Hong turned around and looked.

When he turned back, Su Xiaoxiao saw the scratches on his neck, which seemed to be those of a cat's claws.

Later, he didn't look back, but Su Xiaoxiao noticed that his ears were always moving. She knew that this would happen when someone was concentrating on listening.

This made her suspicious, so after returning home, she asked Xiao Yu to collect all the information of the taxi drivers.

This investigation actually led her to a discovery.

"Don't you know what you are talking about? Yes, I don't keep cats, but I just can't stand seeing people abusing and killing cats." Jiang Hong's body straightened up and he took a defensive posture.

"Why are you so nervous? I just want to chat with you. Look at the scratches on your neck. Was it caused by a cat? I guess you had a cat when you were a child. Maybe you liked cats, but I don't know what happened later that made you unwilling to touch cats again."

"No, I've never had a cat."

"Don't deny it so quickly. I haven't finished yet. Let me guess what happened to you when you were a child? We just found an old neighbor of yours, the one you called Fang Bo. Do you remember him?"

Su Xiaoxiao observed Jiang Hong's expression and a hint of panic flashed in his eyes.

"Fang Bo said that you loved cats when you were a child. When your mother died, she left you a cat. But later, your father married a stepmother, who brought a son with her. The boy was a few years older than you and always bullied you. He also didn't like cats.

Fang Bo said that one day it was raining and your cat was killed by someone. It died a tragic death and its body was thrown into the garbage dump. He said you cried for a long time and never kept a cat again.

Let me guess, how did your cat die? Was it killed by your brother? "

Su Xiaoxiao stopped and observed Jiang Hong's expression. He looked very unhappy. No one would look unhappy if their scars were exposed by others.

"It shouldn't be your brother who killed the cat. I think you killed the cat yourself. You certainly didn't want to kill your own cat, but you had no choice. Your brother was very strong and you couldn't beat him. Between saving yourself or the cat, you chose yourself.

The cat grew up with you. It didn't believe you would kill it until it died, right? It scratched your neck when it was dying. If you had treated it well, it might not have left such a deep scar, but you didn't. You felt that you deserved it and it was God's punishment for you.

Since then you have never kept a cat again, and even started to be afraid of cats.

This incident had a great impact on you. I thought it just scratched your neck, but it actually scratched you elsewhere, right?"

Su Xiaoxiao looked at Jiang Hong's beardless, somewhat feminine face.

"Don't say anymore, don't say anymore!" Jiang Hong covered his ears with his hands.

“Because you killed a cat, not only did you get a scar on your neck, but you also became inhumane in the future, so you are so hateful.

What you hate is not that these people killed cats, but how come these people can still live well after killing cats?! They should be punished just like you!

22 years ago, you punished two women, one named Hao Jie and the other named Yuan Xiuli. You did not actually violate them because you could not do it. You just pretended that they were violated, so the police did not find any residue in their bodies. Your purpose was just not to make their lives easier.

The man you killed 15 years ago was called Yu Ankang. He was actually your stepmother's brother. You felt that he forced you to do it, but you were punished, but he was not. So, you found him many years later. You didn't want to kill him, but just wanted him to suffer the same pain as you.

But unexpectedly, after so many years, his body was still strong, so strong that you couldn't knock him out with a stick, so you had no choice but to stab him with a knife. You saw him lying in a pool of blood, and you were very panicked. You called the police from a public phone, hoping to save his life, but unfortunately it was too late when the police arrived.

After that, you didn't dare to do it again for many years, until Liu Cheng killed the cat.

You live in Xiangyang Community, and you saw him hit a cat to death that night. You didn't intend to hit him, but he acted like a good person and advised others to be careful not to hit cats when driving.

This made you very uncomfortable. He killed several cats, but not only was he not punished, others even praised him for being kind. This was simply unfair, so you started your punishment again.

Including this time with Jia Shuai, you heard me say that the police couldn't do anything to him, so you decided to punish him yourself.

Jiang Hong, am I right? "

Jiang Hong put down his hands that were covering his ears, raised his eyes and looked at Su Xiaoxiao, a bitter smile appeared on his face. This woman was too powerful, she actually guessed everything.

His life was ruined by a cat, and he has been living under its shadow. If he had been brave enough to disobey his brother, or to release the cat secretly, things might not have turned out like this.

"I plead guilty." He gave up struggling.

Qi Lei, who was listening to the trial in another room, frowned. Jiang Hong admitted that he did what happened to Hao Jie and Yuan Xiuli, and also admitted that he accidentally killed Yu Ankang and Liu Cheng. The only thing he did not mention was Jiang Minmin, and Su Xiaoxiao did not ask about Jiang Minmin either.

This means one thing, Jiang Minmin's case was not committed by him, and he could not have done it.

Because Jiang Minmin was really raped and she gave birth to Zhou Xiaomei, so the murderer was not Jiang Hong, but someone else.

After Jiang Hong finished taking the statement and was taken away, Su Xiaoxiao came to see Qi Lei.

"You already knew that Jiang Hong was not the murderer in Jiang Minmin's case?" Qi Lei asked.

"I actually don't know. I just thought of it when I was interrogating him. He didn't have any beard on his face and looked a bit like a eunuch, so I guessed that he was inhumane. I didn't expect it to be true."

Su Xiaoxiao touched her nose. She didn't expect that she had guessed it right.

They solved four old cases at once, but then the question arose: who committed Jiang Minmin's crime?

"I now have an idea. Jiang Minmin's situation seems to be exactly the same as the previous two cases, but the murderer is not the same. So there is only one possibility," said Qi Lei.

"You mean a copycat?"
