Lin Shuyue didn't even bother to go to the toilet. She immediately picked up the newspaper and read it carefully.
This 2012 newspaper reported that the rape and murder of sisters in Suishan Village was the first case committed by Duan Taoyong. Because of his strong ability to survive in the wild and his familiarity with the environment behind the mountain, he managed to escape the joint search by the armed police and villagers. In the following eight years, Duan Taoyong made a living by doing odd jobs and occasional petty theft. When he was required to have his ID card checked, he fled like a frightened bird without even asking for his salary.
He is very cautious and cunning.
In order to evade police pursuit, Duan Taoyong fled everywhere, his footprints covered Guangdong Province, Guangxi Province, Hunan Province, Sichuan Province and his hometown Yuzhou.
Every time he moved to a new place, he would have one or two more lives on his hands, all of them were underage girls, the oldest of whom was no more than sixteen years old.
The only male who was seriously injured and disabled was the villager who went up the mountain to search for him on the day of the incident!
Because there was little surveillance in those years and Skynet had not yet been fully implemented, and Duan Taoyong was very cautious, he would quickly hide in the mountains whenever he sensed the slightest sign of trouble, making it difficult for the police to find his whereabouts.
Over the years, the police never gave up on tracking him down, and finally brought him to justice eight years later and sent him to court to stand trial by the people.
In addition, this report also details Duan Taoyong's growth history.
It all started with Duan Taoyong's biological father. His father was a son-in-law who lived with the wife's family. He was often bullied by his father-in-law, mother-in-law and brother-in-law at home. People said that he was an honest man who spoke little.
But in front of the young Duan Taoyong, this honest man showed a different face. He treated his own son as a punching bag. Under years of beating and abuse from his father, Duan Taoyong became cowardly and weird. He never played with his friends. Instead, he went into the mountains alone and stayed there from morning to night.
Compared with his father, his mother was a kind mother who loved her eldest son Duan Taoyong very much. After he committed the crime, the only thing he couldn't let go of was his mother. He even left a note for his younger brother asking him to take good care of his mother when he escaped.
At the end of the newspaper, according to the confession of Duan Taoyong's mother, she had secretly helped her son many times, tipped off the police when they visited and investigated, and kept silent about the matter.
She was sentenced to three years in prison for the crime of harboring and harbouring criminals.
Lin Shuyue's gaze stayed on the sentence 'he actually had ten lives on his hands' for a long time. She felt that the two bricks she threw yesterday were not light. A scum like Duan Taoyong should not be let off so easily!
Fortunately, Duan Taoyong was arrested eight years in advance, and she indirectly saved the lives of the other eight young girls. Thinking of this, the haze in Lin Shuyue's heart finally dissipated, and her heart was filled with great satisfaction and sense of accomplishment.
A few seconds after reading, the newspaper instantly turned into starlight.
"Come out for breakfast." Lin Shuxing's voice came from outside.
It was getting bright outside. Lin Shuyue walked out of the house, washed up, and sat at the table.
Luo Zhengjun pushed the door open and came in, holding a plastic bag containing steamed buns, dumplings and tea eggs.
Lin Shuxing came out of the kitchen carrying a bowl of white porridge. Luo Zhengjun naturally stepped forward to take it and helped to serve the dishes. He had prepared these in advance.
The taste was especially good, the steamed buns were soft and delicious, the soup dumplings were fresh and fragrant, the tea eggs were salty and chewy, the kimchi was crispy and spicy, and paired with the fragrant and soft cold porridge, Lin Shuyue was eating so much that she couldn't even lift her head.
"Brother Zhengjun, your cooking skills are so good, better than those in restaurants outside. Working in the garment factory canteen really buries your skills." Lin Shuyue said sincerely to Luo Zhengjun.
Luo Zhengjun has a square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he looks honest when he smiles.
Lin Shuyue and Lin Shuxing are 50% similar, thanks to their parents' good looks, each one is more beautiful than the other.
Lin Shuxing has had many suitors over the years, and their conditions are much better than Luo Zhengjun. The reason why Lin Shuxing chose him is that she valued this man's character. When they first started dating, he took the initiative to express his willingness to support her sister's schooling and help her find her younger brother.
He even handed over his passbook. Lin Shuxing naturally did not accept it, but he was very touched in his heart.
Luo Zhengjun glanced at Lin Shuxing and said, "Your sister and I are planning to do just that. My contract at the garment factory lasts for another month. We plan to open a small shop at the entrance of the village next month and sell breakfast in the morning and noodles on weekdays."
The village where the Lin family lives is called Pingsha Village. The area facing the street is now full of shops selling all kinds of things. There are several shops selling breakfast and noodles alone, as well as some stir-fry restaurants.
They are not large in scale.
Lin Shuyue thought for a moment and said, "There are many breakfast and noodle shops, and the competition is too fierce. Business must be difficult. I think brother Zhengjun, you and my sister should order a cart and go to the wholesale market to buy vegetables. Your yard is not small, so you can make fast food at home and push it to the nearby construction site to sell."
"It costs a lot of money to rent a house for a month. You should start with a small business. If the business is good, then consider renting a store with a good location. With a large flow of people, the business will naturally be good. Of course, it would be best if you could buy a store for yourself. Even if you don't run your own business, you xan rent it to others. It's so cost-effective."
In the future, Pengcheng will be one of the four first-tier cities. With the development of real estate and the tilt of policies, housing prices will skyrocket. Those who came to Pengcheng to make a living in the early days, as long as they are determined to buy a house here, will not have to worry about food and drink in the future.
If you are lucky, you will not encounter demolition, not to mention! Which popular shop in the city center is not worth tens of thousands? If you buy a few in advance, it will be like a hen that lays golden eggs.
Who among the young people of today doesn't have the dream of being a landlady? Thinking of this, Lin Shuyue's heart was so hot. She was already transmigrated, and if she didn't seize the tail of the reform spring breeze, it would be a mistake!
When Lin Shuxing heard about buying a shop, her eyes lit up.
Luo Zhengjun smiled innocently, looked at Lin Shuxing and said, "I listen to your sister. Your sister is the boss at home."
Lin Shuxing blushed and looked at Lin Shuyue, very proudly, "My sister is a college student, she is well-informed, and what she said is correct, let's do it!"
Lin Shuyue finished the last mouthful of porridge, touched her round belly, put on her bag and left.
Luo Zhengjun and Lin Shuxing collected the dishes together, and they discussed the fast food stall that Lin Shuyue mentioned.
"Zhengjun, go ask where we can order a dining car later. We'll ask Shuyue for her opinion then. I'll go to the wholesale market to check out the prices of vegetables."
Luo Zhengjun still said the same thing: "I'll listen to you."
Lin Shuxing smiled very sweetly.
Lin Shuyue took the bus to the company. Metropolitan Daily is a well-known newspaper in Pengcheng. The newspaper is located in Dingsheng Building, the most prosperous building in Pinghu, occupying a whole half floor and also has a separate cafeteria.
There were not many people around at this time, so Lin Shuyue found her workstation and sat down.
Although home computers were not yet common in every household in 2004, office computers were very popular in places like Shenzhen, which was close to the port city, and employees were naturally equipped with computers for work.
Lin Shuyue had only seen this kind of white, big-backed computer on TV. She pressed the power button on the black host, and after some trial and error, Lin Shuyue quickly got the hang of it and operated it skillfully.
At 7:30, more and more people came to work. The office was filled with the aroma of coffee. Everyone chatted and started their day's work.
Soon the editor-in-chief arrived. He greeted the news department, and the reporters stood up and went to the editor-in-chief's office.
The Metropolitan Daily has a total of ten reporters, including interns, and the division of reporters in different areas is not so strict. It is not uncommon for reporters in the social area to accidentally take pictures of celebrity scandals.
When everyone arrived, Wang Mingzheng's face was gloomy, and he said, "A criminal case happened in Suishan Village yesterday, but because it is remote, not many people went there. When we got the news and rushed over, we couldn't get any valuable clues."
"The situation is the same in all major newspapers now. I don't care what method you use, just give me a valuable report as soon as possible! It would be best if we can interview the police who handled this matter, and try to get our Metropolitan Newspaper to publish a detailed exclusive tomorrow morning!"
Everyone looked at each other and said nothing.
The rape and murder happened suddenly. When the reporters received the news and rushed over, the murderer had been arrested. The murder scene was also cleaned up. The reporters who rushed over could only interview the people around. There was no trace of the police.
As for the murderer's younger brother, he was so scared that he didn't dare to go back to the rental house, and the victim's parents were in no mood to be interviewed. In short, they didn't catch up with anything hot.
In this morning's newspapers, all major newspapers only gave brief introductions, trying hard to get more details and clues about this horrific murder case.
Wang Mingzheng slammed the table and shouted, "I heard yesterday that a female reporter followed the police and villagers to search the mountain. Look at her news acumen! Isn't this the kind of person we need when reporting news?! Unlike you, who can only wander around the streets outside, hoping that the first-hand news will bump into you!"
Lin Shuyue's master Huang Qiang had already said with a smile: "Which newspaper is this female reporter from? So brave!"
Wang Mingzheng said unhappily, "I asked, but no one knew which newspaper she was from."
"If I knew which newspaper she was from, I would definitely poach her and give her a reward of 2,000 yuan!" There are many female reporters nowadays, and many of them are courageous, but those who are courageous to this extent are rare.
When Lin Shuyue heard this, her eyes showed a subtle yet excited expression. The starting capital for her dream of becoming a landlady was here!
She raised her hand and asked obediently, "Editor-in-chief, are you really giving a 2,000 yuan reward?"
Wang Mingzheng had a very weak impression of the intern Lin Shuyue. Seeing that she was well-behaved and good-looking, he smiled and nodded: "Editor-in-chief, I never brag."
Lin Shuyue groaned, took out the camera hanging around her neck, pulled out one of the photos, and handed it over: "Editor-in-chief, I am the female reporter from yesterday. This is the evidence I accidentally captured of the murderer's intention to commit another crime."
Everyone was stunned and gathered around Wang Mingzheng in surprise, craning their necks to look.
Duan Taoyong was seen raising an axe with a fierce look in his eyes, and chopping at a male victim fiercely, with even a bloodthirsty smile on his lips. This shocking scene frightened them.
Wang Mingzheng's eyes lit up and he became more and more excited the more he watched.
"Okay, okay, print this photo quickly! We'll use this photo for tomorrow's front page headline. It's absolutely exclusive!"
This murder case is very popular at the moment!
He strode back and forth in the office, as if he had already seen the scene tomorrow morning when their Pengcheng Metropolitan Daily would be placed in the newsstand and snapped up by citizens with amazement!
He turned to look at Lin Shuyue, his expression was so amiable, in stark contrast to the expression of a stepmother just now: "Xiao Lin, right? You should go to the Public Security Bureau as soon as possible and try to find out more details, especially the murderer's growth background. This needs to be dug deeper."
Amid everyone's incredulous gazes, Lin Shuyue nodded calmly.
Wang Mingzheng made a call to the Finance Department immediately, saying, "Xiao Chen, give Lin Shuyue from the News Department a 2,000 yuan bonus. Hurry!"
After hanging up the phone, Wang Mingzheng announced the adjournment of the meeting.
Lin Shuyue followed her colleagues out. Before leaving, her master Huang Qiang patted her on the shoulder and said with relief: "This time, you will definitely be able to stay."
"Oh!"
With an ambiguous sneer, a young man wearing glasses walked past her and said disdainfully, "It's just shit luck."
Lin Shuyue was puzzled at first, then smiled and said, "Oh, some people don't even have shit luck, how pitiful."
"Lin Shuyue, just wait and see!"
Lin Shuyue didn't have time to pay attention to him. She put on her bag and camera and went to the police station.
