In a room of a luxury hotel in Fu Lai city.

Zhao Yu poured himself a glass of red wine, and as he sipped, he flipped through the information in the yellow notebook.

Even though he had already memorized the information, he still read it very seriously.

What Zhao Yu was looking at was naturally related to the Huayun mountain massacre case.

On a rainy night nine years ago, a disaster befell a mansion in the Huayun Mountain Villa area.

Ji Kai, the senior engineering designer of Huayun mountain Science and Technology Park, had his family of four murdered in their own home. In addition to Ji Kai and his young wife, there was also their son and daughter. The son was eight years old and the daughter was only five years old!

As soon as the murder case came out, it immediately caused a sensation throughout the country and attracted a high level of attention from the people. The murderer’s cruelty was outrageous, and the nature of the case was very bad. The police immediately put in all their manpower to investigate.

Originally, the neighborhood was equipped with strict surveillance equipment, and the murderer’s fingerprints and footprints were left at the crime scene. Logically speaking, the case should not be difficult to solve.

But unfortunately, the heavy rain on the night of the crime changed everything.

The heavy rain was one that had not been seen in Huayun mountain for decades.

The storm not only caused a power outage in the community, but also disabled all the monitoring equipment. It also destroyed a large amount of outdoor evidence, making it impossible for the police to determine the escape route of the murderer.

It was also because of that storm that the police could not find a single witness, which increased the difficulty of the investigation.

The police had no choice but to resort to human wave tactics. They deployed their forces to search every house in the nearby villages and towns, looking for suspicious targets and comparing their fingerprints.

But in the end, it was all in vain.

Such a vicious case naturally attracted the attention of the central Criminal Division. For nine years, it had been listed as one of the five major unsolved cases, and the investigation had never stopped.

However, the strange thing was that the murderer had disappeared without a trace and never surfaced again.

According to the traces at the scene, the police determined that there were at least three criminals at the scene. Judging from the footprints, the height of the three people was between 1.7 to 1.8 meters.

In addition, the police also judged from the messy traces at the scene that the murderers were very panicked when they committed the crime, so it should be the first time they committed a crime and they did not plan carefully.

Secondly, the police also found obvious signs of prying open the windows on the second floor of the villa, and there were footprints and water stains inside the window area. They suspected that the robbers had broken into the villa through the window.

In addition, there were traces of rummaging in many rooms of the villa, so it was suspected that the robbers were here to steal.

In addition, according to the investigation, it was close to the end of the year. Ji Kai’s family had originally wanted to visit his parents in Xiakou that night. The family of four had already driven out of the villa, but because the rain was too heavy, they were worried about danger and decided to return to the villa at the last minute.

Therefore, from the very beginning, all the criminal investigation experts, including Captain Jin, had agreed that the Huayun mountain massacre was likely to have been caused by an accident.

Perhaps the robbers had sneaked into the villa just to steal some property, but they had not expected Ji Kai’s family to suddenly return and bump into them.

As a result, the two sides had a dispute. The robbers were worried that Ji Kai would recognize them, so they killed him and his family cruelly!

Hua Hua …

Hua Hua …

He didn’t know if it was a coincidence or if it was just for the occasion.

Just as Zhao Yu was looking through the information, it suddenly started to rain outside the window!

Although the rain wasn’t heavy, it reminded Zhao Yu of the heavy rain that had occurred on the night of the Huayun mountain tragedy.

Everything seemed to be predestined.

If it wasn’t for the storm, perhaps the robbers wouldn’t have tried to steal. Without that storm, Ji Kai’s family would not have returned halfway and would not have suffered a calamity. At least the police could lock onto the murderer without the storm. And maybe, there weren’t that many ‘maybe’s in the world …

Zhao Yu held his wine glass, stood up, and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window. Through the window, he could see that the long Street outside the hotel was already covered in rain!

Under the streetlights, where the light could shine, clear lines of rain could be seen. They were like a string of sharp arrows, falling on the road and causing water to splash …

Gulp …

Zhao Yu took a sip of his wine and recalled all the memories he had about the Huayun mountain massacre case.

When he had first obtained the yellow notebook and decided to solve the five major pending cases, Zhao Yu had been very concerned about this family massacre case.

If it weren’t for the fact that the other cold cases were old, he would definitely investigate this case first.

Later on, after he had solved other unsolved cases, Zhao Yu was even more determined to solve the case. He even had a lingering obsession, so he wanted to solve the case as soon as possible, catch those brutal murderers, and bring them to justice!

And it was after those experiences that Zhao Yu’s view of the Huayun mountain case had changed. He started to wonder if there were any other possibilities regarding the truth of the case.

Could there be another reason for the murderer to ruthlessly exterminate Ji Kai’s family? What if … The murderer deliberately disguised it as an attempted theft and an accidental murder?

Although Ji Kai’s personal resume looked very simple, was there any hidden secret behind his gorgeous identity? And that secret was the real cause of the tragedy?

Hua Hua …

At this time, the rain outside the window was getting heavier and heavier. Even through the window, Zhao Yu could feel the cold and wet air blowing against his face.

AI!

Zhao Yu sighed, then turned on his phone again and read the latest information that the Huayun Mountain Police had sent to him.

Unexpectedly, after the three murderers turned themselves in, Zhao Yu’s previous conjectures were completely overturned!

According to the statements of the three murderers, there was no problem with the police’s judgment. Their original purpose was to steal!

15 kilometers away from the Huayun Mountain Villa area, there was a remote mountain village called Cemetery village.

MA Liqun, Gong peiwang, and MA juncai were all villagers of the village.

At that time, even though they were both young men in their early 20s, they had already married and had their own wives and children.

The village wasn’t rich to begin with, and there was a disaster that year. Forced by their livelihood, the three of them decided to go out and work to make up for their family expenses.

The three of them went to Xiakou and worked at a construction site for more than half a year. They could have earned a considerable amount of salary.

However, he never expected that the construction company would suddenly go bankrupt, and the foreman would run away for money.

Not only did the three of them not earn anything, but they had also spent all their savings! In the end, they had to borrow the tickets from other workers to go home.

Originally, they did not plan to go home. However, seeing that the new year was approaching and that they were thinking about their wife and children at home, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and board the return train.

On the train, when they saw the other workers ‘happy and jubilant expressions, the three of them felt more depressed and aggrieved …

For half a year, they had been scrimping and living frugally. Almost every meal they had was porridge and steamed buns. But in the end, this was the result they had gotten in exchange. Naturally, they felt very uncomfortable.

In the end, it was the older MA Liqun who first suggested to “earn some money” before going home. And this idea immediately received the approval of the other two …
