Criminal Investigation Notes
Chapter 126:
At this time, upstairs, Song Wen is already standing at the door of 603. This is an old-fashioned house. The door is double-layered. The outer layer is an iron anti-theft door. The inside is an ordinary wooden door. 603 faces south. There is a balcony on that side. They have confirmed before they came up that the balcony windows are tightly closed.
This place is an old community, there is no thermal insulation layer, it is relatively easy to break through, if the murderer is really inside, there is basically nowhere to hide.
Song Wen held a gun in his hand and lowered his voice, "According to the previous clues, the suspect should know that the police are pursuing him today. He may not be inside, but everyone should be careful and be prepared."
"Understand!" The team members nodded one after another.
The six team members who followed were divided into three groups. Song Wen and Fu Linjiang stood on the left and right sides of the door. The other two team members stood two meters outside the door. The last two were ready to respond at the turn of the stairs.
Someone immediately took out the tool and began to open the security door outside.The old anti-theft door was quickly opened, and then the wooden door inside was also opened by tin foil.
Fu Linjiang first came to the door, slammed the gun with both hands, and kicked the door in front of him heavily with his leg.Hearing a bang, the door opened in response, and Fu Linjiang raised his gun and shouted: "Police, don't move!"
The four team members held their guns and scanned it for a week. No lights were turned on in the room, and there was no one inside. Although it was the top floor, there was only one balcony where light could come in. At this time, the curtains in the room were a bit dark.
Fu Linjiang, Song Wen and the two team members who came in searched the bathroom, kitchen, cabinet and under the bed and so on. They confirmed that there was no one inside. Then they turned on the light and said to the people outside: "Safe!"
Song Wen looked at the room in front of him. It was only about fifty square feet. A narrow living room connected to a small balcony. There was no dining room. The kitchen and bathroom were very small and old. Then there were two bedrooms. One was Xie Jianing's father and stepmother. The other room is Xie Jianing’s room.
There is not much furniture in the room, only beds and some tables, chairs and benches. In the living room there is an old sofa with a sponge and a small coffee table. There are two cabinets on the side of the living room.
Xie Jianing’s room was the smallest, only about six square meters. Except for the desk, chair and wardrobe, it was the single bed against the wall.
"Team Song, here are some women's stockings..." Fu Linjiang opened the drawer under the coffee table, facing a box full of neatly laid out ladies' stockings, feeling cold behind his back.Several of the stockings also marked the time with a note on them, and those times were the date of the victim's victimization.
"Sure enough, it's this pervert!" another team member said angrily, "Where did he escape now?"
Song Wen frowned slightly, those stockings were displayed carelessly by the murderer in the most conspicuous coffee table in the room, presumably he was not afraid that the others in the family would know...
At this moment, Song Wen smelled a strange smell, it was a faint fishy smell, which made people sick.Following the smell, he walked to the balcony, and as soon as he entered the balcony, he saw a huge white freezer.
This freezer is also old and has been used to turn yellow. It is probably placed here to replace the function of the refrigerator.
At this moment, the freezer was energized, making a buzzing sound peculiar to electrical appliances, and the smell that made Song Wen feel unpleasant was emitted from the freezer.
Song Wen looked down at the freezer, with some vague premonitions in his heart. He pinned the gun behind him, put on his gloves, and then forcefully pulled the door of the freezer upward.
Obviously, the freezer had not been opened for a while, and the walls of the cabinet were covered with white frost, and the cold air radiated out, meeting the air on the balcony and condensed into white smoke.
In the freezer, there is not a variety of foods like ordinary households, but a charcoal bag full of activated carbon.In the gaps between the charcoal bags, a clump of brown-red curly hair was exposed...Song Wen used his fingers to remove several bags of activated charcoal nearby, revealing more from below, that was the body of a woman...
As the freezer was opened, the nauseating smell became stronger. It was the smell of frozen corpses.
Song Wen frowned and said, "Linjiang, inform the forensic doctor that there is a corpse here."
Then he picked up the intercom and said: "Si Yu, it's safe here. We found some stockings of the victim and a corpse. You bring Xie Dongqin up and we ask him some questions."
Lu Siyu was standing downstairs in a daze. The intercom in his hand suddenly rang. Hearing what Song Wen said, he and Wang Chen took Xie Dongqin upstairs.
The door was ajar and the police officers were searching the house. Lu Siyu stood at the door and sniffed. There was a smell in the air, a strange and familiar smell...
Lu Siyu pulled Xie Dongqin into the house, let him sit on the sofa first, and then he walked to the balcony, where the smell became stronger.
Song Wen was facing an open freezer, watching him walk over, and whispered: "The deceased lived with his stepmother before."
Lu Siyu saw the woman's face. He took the gloves Song Wen had handed over, stretched out his hand, and fiddled with the charcoal bags. From below, a pale foot soon appeared again, with dark red stains on the toes. Nails...
Under the freezer, there was a corpse that had been frozen into dried meat.
The woman was curled up before she was in this freezer. The corpse had been frozen to grayish white, her skin was dry and cracked, and her limbs were stiff and could not be straightened.As the charcoal bag was taken out, more parts of the female body were exposed.
Song Wen leaned forward to see that it was a complete female body.
Lu Siyu lowered his head and whispered: "About forty years old, a woman strangled her neck and died. She has been freezing for more than half a year. It should be his stepmother..."
If calculated on the basis of half a year, the death of the woman before them was earlier than the first serial case they discovered, that is to say, Lu Siyu's inference is not wrong.
This is the first hidden case.
Lu Siyu's brows furrowed deeper, and he turned to ask Song Wen: "How much information do you know about the murderer?"
Song Wen described what Xie Dongqin said in a low voice before, and after Lu Siyu heard it, he bowed his head in thought.
Xie Jianing’s father may have a violent gene. His mother was killed by domestic violence, but this stepmother continued to abuse him. After his father went to jail, Xie Jianing’s hatred was transferred to her stepmother. The awakening of a perverted personality eventually caused He did something like this...
At this time, Fu Linjiang came to the report again: "Song team, we have searched almost, and some traces of filling shots were found on the table... The suspect may have a gun. And I asked the team members to ask. The neighbor on the opposite side said he had seen Xie Jianing half an hour ago. He carried a box in his hand and was walking out. There was something in his arms, wrapped in clothes, and he couldn't see clearly."
Song Wen turned his head and asked Xie Dongqin sitting on the sofa in the living room: "Does Xie Jianing have a gun."
"... My nephew, when he was a child, went uphill with his father to beat rabbits... He used a fog gun... Could it be that he sneaked it over?" Xie Dongqin hesitated.
Song Wen continued to ask him: "Do you know where your nephew might go?"
Xie Dongqin shook his head: "I...My nephew has no friends, and he doesn't have any other relatives in Nancheng. I don't know, where will he escape..."
Fu Linjiang thought for a moment: "The previous telephone line report also said that he was eating at a nearby restaurant at noon. It seems that he found out that he was wanted at that time, so he hurried back here to pack his things... and he was going to flee. Where to go?"
"Notify all train stations, bus passenger stations, especially the port and field teams to strengthen their defenses." Song Wen quickly ordered, he thought for a moment and then said, "He took the gun and was wanted again, in a crowded place. I can't go far at all..."
Lu Siyu on the side suddenly moved his eyes and said softly: "Team Song, I have a way to know where Xie Jianing is." His eyes fell on Xie Dongqin, and then he said, "But... you have to Let these team members withdraw, I have something, I want to ask Xie Dongqin alone."
Song Wen heard what he said and said to Fu Linjiang: "Linjiang, you should take the other team members down first. Let's ask Xie Dongqin a few words, and we will come down later."
Fu Linjiang gave a hum, and immediately led the other players down.
For a while, only Song Wen, Lu Siyu, and Xie Dongqin were left upstairs.
Lu Siyu walked to the door, plugged the door lock, and then walked to Xie Dongqin's side and asked: "Old man, let me ask you a few words. Did you come to the police station to report your nephew?"
"Yes, I saw the show on TV, so I came over." Xie Dongqin said, "Comrade police, I have already told you all that I know. If you don't believe it... if you don't believe it, ask your captain." He didn't know why. Lu Siyu was a little scared, and turned his gaze to Song Wen as if calling for help.
Song Wen also understood at this time, and Lu Siyu suspected that Xie Dongqin was hiding something.For this old man, he always felt that he had reservations and didn't dare to believe it all, because the previous process was simply too smooth, and it was so smooth that he suspected that the old man was just to lead them here and delay time.
Song Wen folded his arms on the side, not ready to say anything, waiting for Lu Siyu to ask.
Lu Siyu stared at Xie Dongqin with a pair of eyes: "Your hometown is Gancheng. The tradition there is patriarchal, and there is even a custom of letting your nephew inherit the inheritance. You have no children. Xie Jianing works at your dock. You have always taken good care of him. You came to the city council to report him today. Is it really your own idea?"
The corners of Xie Dongqin's mouth twitched: "Comrade police, whose idea is what you said?"
Lu Siyu looked at him with sharp eyes and said, "Xie Jianing asked you to come, right?"
Xie Dongqin exclaimed: "How is this possible?! How could my nephew let me report him?" He retorted, but his voice trembled.
"I am afraid that there are three points for this purpose. The first is to make you separate from him, the second is to get a bonus for reporting, and the third is to use you to buy time for him. Your nephew feels that since he can't hide, Then this bounty is worse than giving it to the uncle who treats him well." Lu Siyu took a step forward while speaking, "And you brought us here to buy him time and let him escape, right? You? Tell us, where Xie Jianing will be now?"
Xie Dongqin stepped back and moved his body, almost shrinking his body into the old sofa. He shook his head, swallowed and said, "I don't know." But at this time, his voice and movements have betrayed him. .Both Song Wen and Lu Siyu saw the clues.
"Your gaze has been looking at the ground, it means you are lying, you wipe the sweat on your forehead, it means you are nervous, you have looked at your watch several times, it means that the time is approaching..." Lu Siyu said, suddenly squeezed He licked his lips, walked to the sofa and pulled up the old man, dragging him to the balcony.
His next action is to push away the remaining charcoal bags in the freezer.The female body in the freezer showed more.
Xie Dongqin didn't take any precautions. He looked down and felt the cold air coming over him, and a female corpse appeared in front of him.He yelled in panic: "You...what are you going to do?!"
"This is what we found at your nephew's house." Lu Siyu spoke and looked at the woman lying in the freezer. "As a relative of the deceased, I hope you can help us identify the corpse. Do you know her?"
It was already 6 o’clock in the evening, and the sky was sunset like blood. On the small balcony, Lu Siyu turned on the light, and the cool white light shone on the female corpse. Under the light of those lights, the ice on the corpse was frozen. There was a sullen light.
The female corpse is about forty years old, her eyes are slightly open and her mouth is open.She leaned her head to the side, seeming to be leaning softly on her shoulders, but she was actually stiff when she was frozen. There were obvious red bruises on her pale neck. Because of the long-term freezing, the woman’s skin was dry and cracked. Presents a grayish-white color, which is the color of the dead.
Xie Dongqin's eyes were full of panic, and he replied with trembling: "I recognize...I know...I am my younger brother, the younger sister-in-law I married later."
Lu Siyu continued to ask: "Then do you know when she was killed?"
Xie Dongqin: "I probably...probably...I haven't seen her for three months...I don't know her death clearly..." His gaze was dodged, and he dared not look at the female body in front of him.
Lu Siyu: "According to the degree of freezing of the corpse, at least half a year or more. At that time, your sister-in-law should have died. There is a red mark on her neck, she was strangled to death..."
Xie Dongqin trembled: "I also just learned about the murder of my nephew. I don't know where he went. If you ask me here, it's a waste of time."
"You are still lying." Lu Siyu shook his head in disappointment.He continued to coldly said, "Xie Dongqin, your nephew killed at least four people. He is a perverted murderer. If you protect the murderer, you are also an accomplice. If you help let him go today, there will be more people. Die in his hands again."
A cold sweat broke out on Xie Dongqin's forehead: "I don't know! The matter of my nephew has nothing to do with me!"
There was no expression on Lu Siyu Junxiu’s face. He stroked the corpse in the freezer with his fingers: "You are optimistic about this face. This person is your brother-in-law. You should have seen her more than once. She used to be A living person can cry, laugh, and hurt. Did she even pour you wine, hand food, and talk to you every Chinese New Year?
"I...I don't know, I really don't know... You let me go..." Xie Dongqin trembled. In his mind, he recalled the woman in front of him without freedom, and recalled their past meeting. Recalling the tone of the woman's words, he was anxious to leave here. The corpse made him very uncomfortable.
It's one thing to display a corpse in front of you. It's another thing that the corpse is someone you know. The corpse is not only your own, but it's also killed in vain. The corpse is so miserable. This is a completely different concept.
At this time, Xie Dongqin's forehead showed cold sweat.
When he was young, Xie Dongqin was also regarded as a person. There were so many workers under his staff that he was taught to obey him. His younger brother was a bastard, but he stopped talking when he saw him. His nephew... He just knew it, but that was a serial killer who killed several people.
In his life, he had never been afraid of anyone, but at this moment, facing this young and handsome policeman, he was afraid...
The other people Xie Dongqin had met were hot, bursting at best, but the person in front of him was cold.He has a calmness that is not suitable for his age, and is extremely keen, as if in his eyes, all secrets do not exist, and all lies will be exposed.
What is even more frightening is that facing the corpse, he does not have the fear that ordinary people should have...
Looking at Lu Siyu, Xie Dongqin felt that he was being hung on the torture frame. It seemed that a sharp knife would pierce his body in the next moment... He could not predict what the person in front of him would say. What will be done...
At this moment, Lu Siyu licked his lower lip and pulled him once. The old man's body was pressed against the freezer, and the distance between him and the corpse suddenly narrowed.
Xie Dongqin was so frightened that his legs were weak, and he almost fell into the freezer, holding on to the side of the freezer to stabilize his body.He could even smell the stench of the corpse.
"Ah! Help!" Xie Dongqin yelled frantically.Anyone who faced a cold corpse like this would be scared to go crazy.
Song Wen finally understood why Lu Siyu asked him to send other people away.
Xie Jianing's escape was planned with Xie Dongqin, but Xie Dongqin didn't know that his nephew had killed his sister-in-law long ago and frozen in this freezer.Lu Siyu is now taking advantage of this, hoping to force him to tell the truth.
Lu Siyu watched Xie Dongqin struggling, his face was indifferent.This kind of him made Song Wen a little strange, but Song Wen fully understood his behavior.
They have no time.
Now Xie Jianing cannot be allowed to escape, let alone more people killed.
And Xie Dongqin is their only breakthrough at present.This old man is helping out of family affection, but he doesn't seem to know what he is doing and what serious consequences it will cause...
On the surface, this is an informal interrogation.
But in reality, this is a contest between righteousness and evil, and between good and evil.
Can't lose, can't withdraw.
They must break through Xie Dongqin's psychological defense in a short time.
Xie Dongqin finally stood up straight and took a step back, clenching his hands with tension.
"Death, you don't seem to understand, what this matter means to life... I don't know what Xie Jianing did?" Lu Siyu's voice became colder and colder, as he spoke and pushed away The female corpse's hair hanging down, and the hair that half-covered her face was lifted away. The female corpse's face was exposed, and her half-open eyes were looking directly at Xie Dongqin.
Xie Dongqin stood so close, he could see the pores on the female corpse's face, and felt the slightest coolness. The female corpse looked at him with half-open eyes, staring at him...
Lu Siyu continued: "This woman was killed by your nephew, and he has killed four lives. According to the law, he will be sentenced to death, he will become a wanted criminal, and he will never be there anymore. Wherever you can settle down, you can only save him for a while by helping him escape, but not his entire life."
Song Wen also looked at Xie Dongqin. He could feel that the old man was tripped by family affection. He said next to him: "If Xie Jianing just left like this. A crime like yours with a serious cover-up will be Sentenced to three to ten years in prison, and even you have to pay compensation to the victim's family. Think about it, is it worth it for you to help your nephew? How old will you be when you are released from prison?"
Xie Dongqin shook his head: "I...I don't know..."
Lu Siyu stood in front of the freezer, his delicate face was stained with ice, and he did not seem to have the slightest emotion, like a white poisonous snake spitting out a letter: "Look at her eyes and remember what she looks like now. , You can also reach out and touch her skin to feel what a dead person looks like!"
Lu Siyu was talking, and he used the hand that touched the corpse to pull Xie Dongqin, "I have read your information, you have a daughter, she is about the age of some of the dead, if it is your daughter who died What?!"
"No...I...I..." Xie Dongqin trembled, but his brain was not under his control. He followed the policeman's words and thought about it. In an instant, the image of his daughter overlapped with the dead in front of him...
Lu Siyu walked over and grabbed Xie Dongqin's wrist. Xie Dongqin opened his eyes in panic. The coldness hit his heart, the temperature of death.
Now on the balcony, because the freezer is wide open, the temperature is much lower than normal, but now, the sweat on Xie Dongqin's face is visibly condensed on his forehead and is about to roll down.
Lu Siyu stared at his eyes tightly, and forced him to ask: "You work at the dock all year round. If you want to send your nephew out, the first reaction is to ask a boat to take him away, right?"
Xie Dongqin was already in a mess, nodded subconsciously and shook his head in panic.
"To tell you the truth, there are already police ambushing at the dock. What do you think your nephew would think when seeing them?
Xie Dongqin's eyes widened, and he suddenly thought of a possibility.
"He will feel that you pretended to help him delay time, in fact you betrayed him?"
"I...I..." Xie Dongqin stammered, he had not thought of this possibility before.But if the police were really at the dock... he felt cold all over and was about to suffocate.
Lu Siyu continued to coldly said: "Do you think that if your nephew escapes by chance today, will he be grateful to you?" Then he shook his head and asked himself, "No, he will hate you, it is very likely that he will come back. Will kill your family."
Xie Dongqin looked at him, the police in front of him grabbed him with cold hands, and his eyes were also cold, reminding him of the dead man lying in the freezer... jailed, compensation, his family...
Xie Jianing might be able to kill the whole family.
When Xie Dongqin first helped Xie Jianing, he did not expect so much, but at this time, his line of defense was finally defeated...
"Tell me, what time is that ship?" Lu Siyu asked the last question.
"Yes... It's six forty-five..." Xie Dongqin was frightened and started to cry, the old man completely broke down, "He is at the dock... I arranged for him to take him out to sea..."
Only then did Lu Siyu let go. Xie Dongqin covered his face with his hands in shock, shaking all over, he cried and shrank from the corner: "What can I do... That is my nephew."
Song Wen knelt down and asked Xie Dongqin, "What does the boat look like?"
Xie Dongqin's body trembled, and continued crying: "I...I don't know, I am a snakehead who asked a friend to contact me. I only have one phone call... They only answer acquaintances... I spent 200,000 dollars. I bought a place for him, boarded the ship at 6:45 tonight, and sent him out of South City..."
It's six forty-five, now it's almost halfway through six o'clock, there are still fifteen minutes left before the ship...
