"And the homeless artist who was burned to death in the fire was not the homeless artist himself, but the missing son of a local wealthy businessman."

"This awakened Yuan Jialiang, and he suddenly realized that the fire that happened 15 years ago might not be what he imagined at all."

"Finally, Yuan Jialiang began to investigate based on clues from the comics and gradually discovered that in Wangchao Town, the son of a furniture factory owner disappeared, and that person was Zhao Xiaobin."

"And Zhao Xiaobin and I had conflicts before we disappeared. Because I knew Xiao Mengqi, he naturally thought that maybe I was causing trouble in all of this."

"Because he knew the cause of the matter, Yuan Jialiang quickly realized that Xiao Mengqi had actually drawn the truth into the comics long ago, so Yuan Jialiang took the initiative to contact me and wanted to ask for an explanation."

"Then what did you tell him?" Officer Wang asked.

Zhao Junbo moved his body again and said slowly: "I asked him if he was Yuan Jialiang? He was silent."

"From that moment on, I knew clearly that he was Yuan Jialiang. I said, if you want to know the truth, just listen to me and I will tell you the answer."

"Moreover, I also made an appointment with him for him to come to Wangchao Town."

"Did he agree?" Gu Chen asked.

"Agreed, he agreed." Zhao Junbo nodded slightly and gasped:

"This Yuan Jialiang is really good, but I know clearly that Yuan Jialiang actually has no idea. He doesn't know if all this is true? Or is it because of the fire that year that made Xiao Mengqi stimulated, or some kind of

Creative inspiration?”

"That's why I drew these contents into her "Ghost King" comic."

After breathing heavily and trying to calm down, Zhao Junbo said again:

"Of course, in order to confirm this, we must first know the condition of the charred corpse."

"The time I arranged to meet with Yuan Jialiang was the time of the Wangchao Town Blueberry Picking Festival."

"Because at that time, many tourists and merchants from out of town will rush to Wangchao Town to participate in this annual event, so everyone's attention will be focused on the Blueberry Picking Festival."

"In this way, I can solve the problem one-on-one with Yuan Jialiang."

"That's not right." After hearing what Zhao Junbo said, Gu Chen also corrected him: "But this Yuan Jialiang arrived at Wangchao Town before the Blueberry Picking Festival in Wangchao Town, and he arrived in advance."

"That's right." Seeing Gu Chen's question, Zhao Junbo also confessed frankly: "Because Yuan Jialiang wants to know the truth, he must confirm the condition of the body."

"Because he was also in Jiangnan City 15 years ago. The sponge factory fire, Zhao Xiaobin's disappearance, and Xiao Mengqi's suicide by jumping into the river were actually relatively close in time."

"Therefore, Yuan Jialiang probably knows that the so-called wandering artist back then is still buried on the mountain near Wangchao Town."

"As long as he finds a way to prove that the body is not a homeless artist, then he will have the initiative."

"Then why didn't he call the police? Let us the police come to solve this problem?" Lu Weiwei also felt very strange.

After all, it would be more comfortable for the police to take action in this kind of matter.

But Zhao Junbo shook his head and said: "You take it for granted, this matter has happened for 15 years."

"Many people who experienced the events of 2015 have little memory, and even many people who experienced it are no longer in Wangchao Town."

"At this time, you, a foreigner, suddenly went to Wangchao Town and told the police that the person buried in the coffin was not a wandering artist. Do you think anyone would believe it?"

Zhao Junbo also asked this question. Everyone looked at each other and felt that it was understandable.

After all, if he was the one who took over the case, everyone might be confused, and they wouldn't start mobilizing troops just based on Yuan Jialiang's guess, and they might express more doubts.

"That's why Yuan Jialiang was worried about this, so he thought of coming to Wangchao Town 10 days in advance. The purpose was to dig out the charred corpse by himself and then conduct an appraisal, right?" Gu Chen asked.

"It's ridiculous, right?" Faced with Gu Chen's question, Zhao Junbo also smiled slightly and shook his head helplessly:

"At that time, I was actually paying attention to every move in Wangchao Town every day, because I knew that I asked Yuan Jialiang to come to Wangchao Town to meet him at the Blueberry Picking Festival."

"But will Yuan Jialiang meet me on time honestly? I don't think so. After all, there is no trust between us."

"Since Yuan Jialiang suspects that I am the murderer who killed Xiao Mengqi back then, he will definitely not believe the lies I said."

"If he wants to take the initiative during the meeting, he must have some necessary clues."

After saying this, Zhao Junbo himself laughed out loud, shook his head, and said mockingly: "This Yuan Jialiang is an idiot. He thinks he is a policeman? Or is he touching Colonel Jin?"

"Just one person, single-handedly, came to Wangchao Town 10 days in advance."

"Does he really think this is his home court? Haha, actually he doesn't know that from the moment he entered Wangchao Town, he was in my sights."

"As someone who has been staying in Wangchao Town for a long time, every move of Yuan Jialiang cannot escape my observation."

"From that time on, I discovered that Yuan Jialiang would go to the nearby mountains every morning when he left early and returned late at night."

"And what is there on that mountain that Yuan Jialiang deserves to go to? I guess there is only that burnt corpse."

"So I concluded that Yuan Jialiang would go to the mountain to dig up corpses."

"But in order to avoid exposing his behavior, Yuan Jialiang only carried some portable tools with him, just small tools."

"And I watched all of this secretly, because I had been secretly observing Yuan Jialiang's every move during those days."

"I discovered that after he exhumed the body, he secretly moved it to another location."

"I guess he might have noticed, and maybe I would have noticed the importance of this body."

"Because if the charred body is not found, then after the police intervene, they will not be able to determine the true identity of the charred body."

"In this case, the person lying in this coffin can only be a wandering artist, not him, Zhao Xiaobin."

"But because Yuan Jialiang came here alone, he did not dare to reveal the matter to others, so he could only exhume the body and then move it to another location for burial."

"Finally, bury the empty coffin in the soil again."

At the end of the speech, Zhao Junbo was also out of breath.

And Gu Chen finally figured out the whole story.

Yuan Jialiang was the one who worked together for a long time to excavate and move the corpses and bones from beginning to end.

Gu Chen raised his head and stared at Zhao Junbo in front of him, and asked: "What happened next? Did you have murderous intentions? How did you kill Yuan Jialiang in the ancient temple on the mountain?"

"Ashamed." After hearing what Gu Chen said, Zhao Junbo couldn't help but shake his head and sighed:

"Originally, I already knew about Yuan Jialiang's transfer of corpses and bones, so I thought that I would take the opportunity to solve this problem under the pretext of asking him to meet."

"Because I know that there is a hermit living in the ancient temple building. His name is Zhou Zheng. He is also a foreigner. He usually goes out regularly."

"So you took advantage of this opportunity to invite Yuan Jialiang to this building to discuss matters?" Gu Chen asked.

"Yes." Zhao Junbo did not deny it and explained honestly: "I have no choice but to invite him, Yuan Jialiang, to this building to discuss matters, because I want to divert the attention of your police and make your police mistakenly think that...

Yuan Jialiang's death is related to the reclusive Zhou Zheng."

"After all, if Yuan Jialiang died in Zhou Zheng's bedroom, then Zhou Zheng obviously couldn't explain it clearly."

"But I remember that Zhou Zheng locked the door when he went out, but you..." Lu Weiwei thought something was wrong when she thought of this.

But Zhao Junbo admitted generously: "This is nothing? Because I have some friendship with this Zhou Zheng. Zhou Zheng once invited me to his residence, but because he came to the mountain, Zhou Zheng lost his key."

"While I was worrying about this matter, Zhou Zheng found a spare key in a corner of the house and opened the door."

"Originally, I thought that this guy would change the locks because of this, but he didn't. It wasn't until later when I was going down the mountain that I accidentally picked up a bunch of keys in the grass on a slope and found out that they belonged to Zhou Zheng."

"But I had already gone down the mountain, so I thought I would find time to return it to him another day."

"But as I went back and forth, I gradually forgot about this. It wasn't until I received a call from Yuan Jialiang, and then later, Yuan Jialiang secretly moved the corpses and bones on the mountain."

"I thought, maybe we can use Zhou Zheng's residence to solve the problem of Yuan Jialiang."

"So I asked Yuan Jialiang to go up the mountain while Zhou Zheng was out, and opened the door with the key I picked up."

"That is, in Zhou Zheng's residence, I used Zhou Zheng's tableware to poison Yuan Jialiang's drinking water."

Sighing heavily, Zhao Junbo looked at Gu Chen feebly, and then said: "I think you, the police, know what happened next. You should be able to detect that the deceased Yuan Jialiang died of poisoning."

"Yes, we did detect this." Officer Wang said.

Zhao Junbo nodded silently: "So, this is how Yuan Jialiang died. I even removed all traces of me at the scene."

"Because from the beginning, I paid special attention to my own traces. I originally thought that after dealing with Yuan Jialiang, I would quietly move Yuan Jialiang's body."

"What a coincidence. Just when I was about to move the body, I noticed some movement at the bottom of the mountain. Only then did I realize that it was Zhou Zheng who had returned early."

"But at the same time, there are a group of strangers around Zhou Zheng, especially you, Gu Chen. You were very brilliant at the poetry competition at the Wangchao Town Blueberry Picking Festival. I also noticed you at that time, so I also know your true identity.

identity."

"Because, in order to avoid being discovered, I could only escape temporarily, and that's why you found Yuan Jialiang's body in Zhou Zheng's bedroom."

"So that's it?" Listening to Zhao Junbo's story, Lu Weiwei was stunned and said, "So that's it, you were at the scene of the crime?"

"That's right." Zhao Junbo lowered his head and said in frustration: "If I had acted faster, maybe I wouldn't have been discovered."

"But against all odds, I never expected that Zhou Zheng would come back early."

"And not only that, Zhou Zheng also brought you back together, which made me a little at a loss at that time. I could only give up moving the body and hide quietly in a corner of the forest by myself."

"I just watched you enter the room and find the body."

"Then how did you get down the mountain?" Gu Chen was also very curious. He didn't seem to have seen any trace of Zhao Junbo on the mountain road.

But Zhao Junbo chuckled and said: "It's very simple. There are several mountain roads. The one I took is not on the main road, so I need to take some more detours, but it is relatively secretive."

"If I take a small road, I won't meet you. That's how I left."
