Criminal Investigation Notes
Chapter 41
It was already half past six in the evening, and the sky gradually dimmed. The orange-red sunset and the blue night in the sky blended together, like an extremely beautiful watercolor painting.A few people stood or squatted in the graveyard at the head of the village, but they didn't want to appreciate the beauty of the mountain village here.
Hearing what Lu Siyu said, Zhang Dahai frowned and rationalized his thoughts: "Then, the child might be the first victim? He was the beginning of this extermination case. Their whole family died of the same murderer. The murderer killed the child and was still unwilling to kill him, and killed their whole family a few months later?"
Everyone was silent for a while. They recalled the whole case, which contained many details. They didn't feel special when they first learned about it, but now they think about it carefully.There was still a strong smell of carrion in the air, but because of the long stay at the scene, everyone got used to it.
Lu Siyu had a stomachache again, stood up and leaned against the tree with a pale face, and kept his head down and closed his eyes in silence.He pondered for a moment, figured out some reasons, and said, "I think there are two possibilities. The first is the one you said."
"What about the other?" Zhang Dahai asked in surprise.
"The other, I'm afraid the child was killed by his own father."
While speaking, Lu Siyu lowered his head and looked at the child's corpse. The corpse's eyelids had been partially decomposed, and a pair of eyeballs protruded, looking like a dead eye.
Seeing the puzzled expressions on everyone’s faces, Song Wen wanted to understand the links and explained for him: "The child went out with Zhou Chuguo. What happened? You can only listen to Zhou Chuguo’s words. I heard from the village before. People have said a detail. People on both sides of the strait have never heard the child's call for help. It is possible that it is because of Zhou Chuguo's hand that the child did not ask for help, because it was originally someone he trusted. The child was brought out by Zhou Chuguo. Yes, he told the people in the village that the child had disappeared. He had time to commit the crime, and he blocked the autopsy several times afterwards, probably because he was afraid of being discovered."
Lin Xiuran also reacted, lowered her head and thought, and added: "If Zhou Chuguo killed the child, the chicken drumstick might have been bought for the child because he was guilty, and he coaxed the child to the stream." If you do, many things can make sense.
This view sounds incomprehensible at first, but it is related to what Zhang Dahai said earlier that the child's father often beat and scolded him, and in the end the child bought chicken drumsticks for the child before his death, which was a bit chilling behind his back.
Listening to Song Wen and Lin Xiuran's words, Zhang Dahai's lips were trembling. He hardly knew the village where he grew up. They all said that tiger poison does not eat children. How could the murderer of the child be his father?This is even more unbelievable for him than the current switch case: "Zhou Chuguo is usually a little stricter on his children. He is not crazy. Why did he kill his own child? He was still a boy. His motivation is what?"
Song Wen looked back at the bones, recalling the information he had said before, "As for the motive..." At this point, his eyes narrowed, his brows frowned, his eyes trembled slightly, and he suddenly figured out what was in it. Link.
"Have you noticed that at home, they didn't set a spiritual position for the child, and there was no trace of the grave on the grave. The people in the village said that there was crying by the creek, and it might be Yang Li secretly paying homage." Song Wen said here. Looking at Zhang Dahai, "When I was asking about my child with the people in the village, the people in the village were a little hesitant. At that time, I didn’t understand, but now I finally understand. The child’s life experience, isn’t it? What is the problem?"
Zhang Dahai was stared at by Song Wen and lowered his head: "Well, there is such a bit of rumors in the village, but those are all jokes by the villagers."
"Speak clearly." Song Wen continued to press him.
Zhang Dahai swallowed and said, "Okay, I said, you have seen Yang Li's body, it looks pretty watery, and people in the village suspect that Yang Li might have brought her man a green hat. However, This is the case in the village. There are always these gossips and gossip, whether they are real or fake, they are all true, but in fact most of them are fake. Everyone is just gossip."
"Regardless of whether the rumors are true or false, Zhou Chuguo believes it." Song Wen's pupils were bright, and his eyes were black and white, as if he had insight into everything: "He is going to kill this child, probably because he thinks this is not his son, or He said, it doesn’t matter whether it’s his son, he thinks it’s more important whether it’s his son."
Song Wen continued to analyze: "Zhou Chuguo is an accountant, conservative in thinking, a bit dogmatic, his house is very clean, all habits remain unchanged. Rumors can kill people, maybe he is from the details of his usual life, and some peace His wife’s words aggravated his doubts. People like him cannot accept his wife’s infidelity, let alone accept that the children he has raised for many years are not his own."
"At first, Zhou Chuguo might have only doubted his son's birthplace. Gradually, the speaker was unintentional and the listener was interested. Zhou Chuguo took this matter as his own knot, and the green on his head was like a thorn in his heart. Whenever I see a child, I cannot sleep at night."
Song Wen continued to reason about the case, "His attitude towards his family is getting worse and worse. This emotion accumulates as the child grows up. Zhou Chuguo didn't have the courage to take the child to test whether it was his own. Instead, he was cruel and chose In another extreme solution, that day, he took the child out of the house, went to the grocery store in the village to buy a quick chicken drumstick for the child, and then the two went all the way to the stream..."
The tragedy happened.
Xiao Meng, the little policeman on the side, asked doubtfully: "I suspect it is not my son, why not divorce?"
Zhang Dahai thought of something: "Probably I think it will be difficult to find a wife if it is divided, and the family ugliness can't be exposed... At that time, I still remember that after the child died, Zhou Chuguo comforted Yang Li, saying that they were still young and would come back to regenerate."
"Who owns the child, obviously requires laboratory tests to be able to make a conclusion, and the face shape and features are not necessarily accurate." Lin Xiuran said, and the car arrived, and they put the child's body in a body bag and transported it to the funeral home. Check in more detail.Wait for the results of the DNA to be finalized.
Song Wen walked over and took out the room card opened for Lin Xiuran, Lin Xiuran waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I must be sleeping in the town tonight. It doesn't matter if I can sleep."
When everything was in order here, Lin Xiuran and Lao Li rushed to the funeral home together.Song Wen turned his head and looked at Zhang Dahai: "What other stories are there in this village that you didn't tell us? Who is the man who has a relationship with Yang Li?"
Zhang Dahai said: "You just analyzed that, but I remembered that there are really old things about this family. Before Yang Li married to Zhou's family, she had a partner in the village called Xue Jingming. Speaking of it, this person is still a bit close to the Zhou family. Xue Jingming's mother and Zhou Chuguo's mother are cousins."
"A few years ago, Xue Jingming and Yang Li were in love with each other. They were the envy of everyone in the village, but Xue Jingming's father died early and his family was poor, so he couldn't pay the bride price. For this marriage, Xue Jingming and his mother I went to various relatives to borrow money, and even went to Zhou’s family. But after all, Xue’s mother was just a widow who had lost her husband. The relationship between relatives had long been broken. In the end, they didn’t borrow much. After they drove out, the marriage didn't happen. Later, they did not expect that Yang Li married Zhou Chuguo and was picked up by his relatives. Mother Xue became seriously ill and returned to the west within a few years."
"Furthermore, on the Zhou family's side, Yang Li later married Zhou Chuguo and gave birth to a son soon after the past. At that time, the old man of the Zhou family was still there and hosted a hundred-day banquet for the children. But... Then everyone discovered that Zhou Chuguo It has a single eyelid, but the child has double eyelids. Zhou Chuguo has a long face, but the child has a round face and does not look alike..."
Song Wendao: "So it sounds like Xue Jingming is very suspicious. Why didn't you talk about such an important matter earlier?"
Zhang Dahai's neck shrank from being cursed by him: "These two families have long since stopped contacting each other. If there are grievances, they are all the same. Even if Xue Jingming is angry, he won't get revenge for several years, right? I thought the child's death was an accident, so I didn't think about it."
When Song Wen heard this, he took off the disposable gloves, wrapped them up and was about to throw them away, turning his head to look at Zhang Dahai and Xiao Meng who were still in a daze: "What are you doing in a daze? Now that you have talked about that Xue Jingming, This person has serious suspicions. Confirm as soon as possible whether he is still in the village. Also, it is unethical to find young people in the village to fill the pit.
"Well, who is Xue Jingming?" Xiao Meng on the side interjected and asked Zhang Dahai: "I have been in the village for so many years, and I haven't heard of this person."
Zhang Dahai said: "It's the nine fingers. According to the one who dropped one finger, the famous old bachelor in the village." Everyone in this village usually talks, using nicknames rather than real names. Xue Jingming and this little policeman are a generation behind. It is normal for him not to know the name.
Xiao Meng said, "Isn’t that a famous filial son nearby? When his mother was seriously ill, he never abandoned him. And he likes children very much, and he often goes to schools and kindergartens to give advice." The children divide the candy, and I saw once, he was talking with Zhou Chuguo’s son."
Song Wen frowned slightly after hearing this: "Perhaps it was his behavior, coupled with the rumors in the village, that made Zhou Chuguo determined to kill his son."
Lu Siyu interrupted and asked: "What kind of work does this Xue Jingming you talk about?"
Zhang Dahai said: "He used to help people decorate and do some carpentry work. Later, when he was working, he was cut off by a chainsaw and couldn't work anymore, so he made a living by picking mountain products."
Song Wen analyzes: "If he has ever been a carpenter, maybe he has learned some electrical connection skills from an electrician. In this way, his career is right. If Xue Jingming thinks that the child belongs to him, he accidentally learns that Zhou Chuguo killed him on purpose. If the child is killed, it is very likely to do extreme things like killing the door. This is probably the motive for the killing of the switch."
By now, most of the evidence has been collected, and the logic has been straightened out.
Zhang Dahai arranged his thoughts on the side: "Then the source, maybe Zhou Chuguo killed the child, and Xue Jingming killed their whole family?"
Of the two cases, the child drowning case came first, and the switch case came later. It seemed that there was no connection, but in fact this child drowning case was the cause of the whole incident.
Song Wen: "Existing clues are inferred to be like this, and maybe there are details that we don't know yet. If this is the case, we have to catch Xue Jingming and ask."
Zhang Dahai asked again: "Then who owns this child?"
Song Wendao: "Wait for the DNA test results." Before there are results, their inferences are only inferences. Now they have the cigarette butts left by the murderer, Zhou Chuguo and the child's corpse. Just find Xue Jingming and get his DNA. , Everything can come to light.
Zhang Dahai scratched his head and asked, "I understand your logic, but why did Xue Jingming kill Yang Li? After all, that is the woman he had been better off before."
Song Wen thought for a while: "For so long, Xue Jingming's initial desire for Yang Li's feelings has turned into hatred long ago, and after the death of the child, he felt that Yang Li also had a certain responsibility. As for For Zhou Mu, it was probably related to the fact that he had gone to Zhou’s house to borrow money and didn’t marry Yang Li in the end. However, these two people were not the main ones he wanted to kill. He was mainly for revenge on Zhou Chuguo, assuming Zhou Mu and Yang Li He had a strong sense of prevention, and he didn't rush forward after Zhou Chuguo was electrocuted. Then those two people might get away with it."
Zhang Dahai was persuaded by Song Wen, and he nodded on the side: "The details have been checked, and the height of the man is also consistent. Don't think he is a little hunched, but he is not low. Xiao Meng, call Xiao Zhang, go He called over."
The more they analyzed, they felt that the suspicion of this person was greater. Song Wen frowned and said: "Don't call here, hurry up, just find someone to visit his house. We will rush over." He thought for a while. Then he said: "People who go to see must pay attention to safety, and just confirm whether they are at home." If Xue Jingming is the murderous murderer, I am afraid that he would have been a desperate for a long time, and it may be dangerous to approach rashly. .
Zhang Dahai just woke up like a dream. He made a phone call and asked his legs to go to Xue Jingming's house first. The call came after a short time. Xue Jingming's door was closed and he asked his neighbors, saying that he would watch at 8 o'clock in the morning. When he went out, he packed a backpack and carried it, and asked him where he was going without reply.
Zhang Dahai hurriedly took them into the village and crossed a few streets to the door of Xue Jingming's house. This place is located on the south side of the village. The door is a bit old and the paint is mottled. The lights were all lit up, but it was pitch black here.Several people stood outside the door, Lu Siyu turned the phone into a flashlight mode, first took a photo on the ground, and then said: "The footprints are the same." After speaking, he looked at a cigarette butt at the door, "The cigarette brand Same thing."
"This is the eighth achievement." After Song Wen finished speaking, he drew his gun from behind and kicked open the confined courtyard with a kick.After a bang, the door opened.Song Wen checked that there was no movement inside, then entered, and said to Zhang Dahai behind him: "Pay attention to protect the scene, call the physical evidence personnel over, extract the physical evidence, and block this place."
Zhang Dahai sighed and hurried to call.
Song Wen entered the door, and Lu Siyu was looking at him with his mobile phone behind him.
The white light cut through the darkness, and the contents of the room gradually became clear.
This is a single man's home. There are two rooms open. The room is clean. The room in the front has two beds. Obviously, they have been cleaned. It is not messy.Close to the inside, there is an old TV, and some award certificates are neatly pasted on the wall, and the handwriting has long been illegible.Song Wen saw a dark green thing hanging by the door, and walked in to see that it was a long raincoat.Song Wen remembered the words of the villagers before, and turned around and nodded to Lu Siyu. The murderer was most likely this person.
"Is there any discovery inside?" Zhang Dahai's voice came over. The room was completely dark. He had just finished the phone call and called someone over. At this time, he entered the door and was about to turn on the lights. Suddenly, Lu Siyu thought of something and whispered. :"Be careful!"
In the darkness, Zhang Dahai was taken aback by Lu Siyu, a little puzzled.
With the light of the flashlight, Lu Siyu approached the light switch, checked it carefully, and then carefully picked up a piece of exposed copper wire with the wooden chopsticks placed on the side table.The lights here have already been transformed and turned into a trap.
Song Wen also saw the wire at this time. If you touch it in the dark, it will easily cause new casualties. Fortunately, Lu Siyu discovered it. He cursed in a low voice: "Damn, it's cruel."
Zhang Dahai thought of the tragic condition of the corpses in the morning. He only felt that he had recovered his life. The cold sweat broke out all over his body. He stroked his chest and said: "Scare me, little brother, you saved my life. Ah, when this case is over, I must invite you to drink to thank you."
Lu Siyu looked up at him coldly, and rebuffed like a golden word, "I don't drink."
Zhang Dahai was prepared to slap her ass as she wanted, but he was choked by these four words, choked there, unable to speak.The police service level in this city is good, but why are they so unreasonable...
