Chapter 583: Chapter 583: Meritorious Service to Atone for Crime
Sun Yu was taken down just as he stepped out of the car.
This guy is the number three suspect, an overweight fat guy.
At this point, there was no need for Lu Chuan, the crime scene detective, to get involved.
The arrest operation arranged by Qin Hui was very meticulous, with the armed police, SWAT team, and public security personnel each performing their duties, completely eliminating the possibility of escape or harm to others.
Sun Yu was tackled by three plainclothes officers.
One person grabbed his legs from behind, while two came from the side and twisted his arms behind him.
Just the move to grab his legs, causing Sun Yu to fall forward, left the big fat guy bewildered.
Not to mention the continuous arrest actions that followed.
Sun Yu had no chance to struggle at all.
"What’s your name?"
The fat guy grimaced in pain and only came to his senses after a while.
Often walking by the river, how can you not get your shoes wet? Sun Yu’s hands were certainly not clean with just the one case in Tianzhou City.
Just the bald man, as Qin Dejun confessed, held at least two lives.
"Sun Yu."
"Do you know why we’re arresting you?"
Spit!
Because of the recent tackle, Sun Yu’s face hit the ground first and was now a bloody mess, spitting out a mouthful of blood foam.
"Widow Zhao from Wangzhuang?"
"Or was it my boss?"
The moment he said this, everyone felt a chill in their hearts.
This person... is indeed involved in a major case!
Lu Chuan knew about what Qin Dejun had confessed.
According to Qin Dejun’s confession, back when Sun Yu was a chef, he killed a restaurant owner he’d once had a conflict with.
Five years ago, Sun Yu and Qin Dejun also committed a kidnapping together.
After getting the money, they killed the victim.
However, Widow Zhao from Wangzhuang...
"Take him away!"
Meanwhile, in Tianzhou City, the operation to capture the number one suspect had also concluded.
But unlike the task in Qinzhou City, there was a small incident there.
The suspect was extremely vigilant and noticed the plainclothes officers when being arrested.
He directly jumped from the fourth floor of his house.
Fortunately, the downstairs area was blocked and the police were lying in wait, preventing his escape.
At the time, jumping from a four-story height, though not fatal, the criminal suspect broke his left leg.
According to Lu Chuan’s footprint analysis, the number one suspect was suspected to have an old fracture in his right leg.
Unexpectedly, this time his left leg was also broken.
After being captured, facing Qin Dejun’s testimony, resistance was obviously meaningless.
Half a month ago, Qin Dejun and Sun Yu came from Qinzhou City to find Wang Hu to discuss a big deal.
However, while having hot pot, they had an argument with the victim’s family.
"At that time, I didn’t think about anything else, just wanted to kill those three."
"Killed them and killed them, it’s not like it’s my first time."
Sun Yu appeared indifferent, not caring at all about the fact he killed people.
"How did you catch my brother-in-law? We should have only left footprints at the scene."
"I saw on TV, it seems like you can’t catch people just with footprints, right?"
"Alright, let’s talk about the Widow Zhao in Wangzhuang."
The Criminal Investigation Team in Qinzhou City had already looked into this.
It’s in a place called Wangzhuang Town in the suburbs of Qinzhou City where Sun Yu once ran a restaurant for two years.
The Widow Zhao he mentioned was called Zhao Chunyan.
She disappeared ten years ago and was never found.
Unexpectedly, this case was also his doing.
"Nothing much, back when I had a restaurant in Wangzhuang Town, I got to know the Widow Zhao, she was after my money, and we had an affair."
"As a result, she wanted me to divorce and be with her."
"I refused, and Widow Zhao threatened me, saying she would tell everyone about us if I didn’t agree."
"At that time... I knew how formidable my brother-in-law was... If Qin Dejun found out I was fooling around, he probably would’ve killed me, so I killed the Zhao woman."
"What did you do with the body?"
"Made it into hot pot."
Hot pot?
"At my hot pot restaurant back then, after killing the Zhao woman, I cut up the body in the back kitchen, then froze it, and gradually put it in the hot pot bit by bit."
"Served it to customers in the hot pot?"
Sun Yu nodded, "Just gave it as free meat, these bumpkins were thrilled."
"But I was afraid they’d find out, so I only gave a little each time, and it took about half a year to use it all up."
"What about the bones?"
"Threw them in with the big bones to boil, made them into soup as a base."
...
Sun Yu knew the gravity of his crimes, so he confessed everything about his past misdeeds.
"Officer, do you think... I’m going to get the death penalty?"
Death penalty?
"Sun Yu, you’ve killed four people, and your methods were extremely cruel. Don’t you think you deserve the death penalty?"
"Oh, well, okay then, it’s all the same. I was hoping to make merits to atone..."
Make merits to atone?
The interrogating officer perked up immediately at this.
"Sun Yu, although you committed capital crimes, if you have significant meritorious actions, we will certainly report it to the relevant departments truthfully. As for whether you’ll get the death penalty, we don’t have the final say."
Sun Yu had just mentioned that half a month ago he went to Tianzhou City for a big score.
So, what exactly was the big score?
Sun Yu thought for a moment, "Can I have a cigarette?"
The pre-trial officer nodded, personally lighting one for him.
He smoked for a while before speaking.
"What I’m going to say is definitely a big deal, even Qin Dejun and the other two don’t know."
"Whatever... Whether it gets my sentence reduced or not, I’ll just do something good for society before I leave."
"This time I went to the provincial capital to lay a path."
"What path?"
"Fake currency!"
Fake currency?
When Sun Yu mentioned fake currency, Li Donglin, who was watching the entire interrogation in the monitoring room next door, immediately stood up.
Li Donglin hadn’t been idle for the past half year.
Apart from major criminal cases investigated by the major crime squad, Li Donglin had been closely following a counterfeit currency case for the past half year.
Since October last year, reports of counterfeit currency began appearing intermittently in certain areas of the provincial capital.
And it wasn’t just one or two cases; in a short time, more than a dozen similar cases were reported.
As soon as the cases were reported, they attracted significant attention from the provincial department, with Li Donglin personally overseeing the case tracking and investigation.
In fact, counterfeit currency tends to appear frequently, but usually at relatively low frequency.
For ordinary people, they might not encounter counterfeit currency even in a year or several years.
But the high frequency of these cases indicated that the counterfeit currency wasn’t the kind that had circulated in the market before.
There was now new counterfeit currency entering the market.
And judging by the quantity, it was considerable.
Despite significant human and material resources invested by the provincial department over the past half year, only a few small clues were uncovered, with no clear understanding of the source of the counterfeit currency.
Unexpectedly, a clue emerged from Sun Yu.
