Criminal Investigation Files

It was already past 06:30 in the evening, and the sky was getting dark gradually. In the sky, the orange-red sunset blended with the blue night, like a beautiful watercolor painting.A few people stood or squatted in the cemetery at the head of the village, but they had no intention of admiring the beautiful scenery of the mountain village here.

Hearing Lu Siyu's words, Zhang Dahai frowned and straightened his mind: "So, the child might be the first victim? He was the beginning of this extermination case. Their whole family was killed by the same murderer. The murderer didn't feel relieved after killing the child, and killed their whole family a few months later?"

Everyone was silent for a while. They recalled the whole case, and there were many details in it. They didn't think it was special when they first learned about it.There was still a strong smell of rotting corpses in the air, but everyone got used to it after staying at the scene for a long time.

Lu Siyu had a stomachache again, stood up and leaned against the tree with a pale face, lowered his head and closed his eyes in silence.He pondered for a moment, thought through some reasons, and said, "I think there are two possibilities, the first one is the one you mentioned."

"What about the other one?" Zhang Dahai asked in surprise.

"The other one, I'm afraid the child was killed by his own father."

While talking, Lu Siyu lowered his head and looked at the child's corpse. The eyelids of the corpse had been partially rotted, and a pair of eyeballs protruded, looking like he was dying.

Seeing the puzzled expressions on everyone's faces, Song Wen wanted to understand the link, and explained for him: "The child went out with Zhou Chuguo. What happened, you can only listen to Zhou Chuguo's side story. I heard it from the village before." Someone mentioned a detail. People on both sides of the strait have not heard the child's cries for help. It may be because of Zhou Chuguo's hands that the child did not ask for help, because it was originally someone he trusted. The child was taken out by Zhou Chuguo Yes, he was the one who told the villagers that the child was missing, 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 came to his senses, lowered his head and thought for a while, and added: "If Zhou Chuguo killed the child, maybe the chicken leg was bought for the child because of his guilt, and he coaxed the child to the side of the creek." If so, many things can be explained.

This point of view sounds incomprehensible at first, but in connection with what Zhang Dahai said just now, the child's father often beat and scolded him, and finally bought chicken legs for the child before the child died, which makes people feel chills behind.

Hearing 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 tigers do not eat their offspring. How could the murderer of the child be his own father?This is even more inconceivable than the electric door case in front of him: "Zhou Chuguo is usually strict with children, and he is not crazy. Why did he kill his own child? He is still a boy. His motive may be What?"

Song Wen looked back at the corpse, recalling the information he said before, "As for the motive..." At this point, his eyes narrowed, his brows frowned slightly, his eyes trembled slightly, and he suddenly figured out what was involved. link.

"Did you notice that at home, they didn't set up spiritual tablets for the children, and there was no trace of the grave. People in the village said that there was crying by the stream, and it might be that Yang Li was secretly offering sacrifices." Song Wen said here Looking at Zhang Dahai, "When I inquired about the child with the people in the village, the people in the village were a little hesitant. At that time, I couldn't figure it out. Now I finally understand. The life experience of this child, isn't it? What is the problem?"

Zhang Dahai was stared at by Song Wen, and lowered his head: "Well, there is a little gossip in the village, but those are all jokes by the villagers."

"Speak clearly." Song Wen continued to press him.

Zhang Dahai swallowed his saliva and said: "Okay, as I said, you have seen Yang Li's body before. It looks quite fresh. People in the village suspect that Yang Li may have given her a man a cuckold. However, This is how it is in the village, there are always these gossips, idle gossip, whether it is true or not, they are all true, but in fact most of them are false, just gossip that everyone has to worry about."

"Whether the rumor is true or not, Zhou Chuguo believed it." Song Wen's pupils lit up, his eyes were black and white, and he seemed to have insight into everything: "He wants to kill this child, probably because he thinks it's not his son, or Said, it is not important whether it is his son, he thinks it is more important whether it is his son."

Song Wen continued to analyze: "Zhou Chuguo is an accountant, conservative in thinking, a bit dogmatic, his house is cleaned very clean, and all his habits remain unchanged. Rumors can kill people, maybe he is based on the details of his daily life, as well as some peace and harmony. A few words from his wife have aggravated his doubts, and a person like him cannot accept his wife's infidelity, let alone accept that the child he has raised by his side for many years is not his own."

"In the beginning, Zhou Chuguo might just have doubts about his son's background. Gradually, the speaker didn't care, and the listener was interested. Zhou Chuguo took this matter as his heart 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 infer the facts of the case, "His attitude towards his family members is getting worse and worse. As the child grows up, Zhou Chuguo does not have the courage to take the child to test whether it is his own. Another extreme solution, that day, he took the child out, went to the grocery store at the head of the village and bought a quick chicken leg for the child, and then the two of them came to the creek..."

The tragedy happened.

Xiao Meng, a little policeman at the side, asked suspiciously, "I suspect it's not my son, why didn't you get a divorce?"

Zhang Dahai thought of something and said: "Maybe I think it will be difficult to find a wife after they are separated, and the family ugliness should not be publicized... At that time, I still remember that after the child died, Zhou Chuguo comforted Yang Li, saying that they are still young, and they will be born again."

"Who the child belongs to, it is obvious to have a laboratory test to be able to make a conclusion, and the face shape and characteristics may not be accurate." Lin Xiuran was talking, and the corpse truck arrived. They put the child's body in a body bag and transported it to the funeral parlor. A more detailed inspection.Wait for the DNA results to come out before making a final conclusion.

Song Wen walked over and took out the room card that had been opened for Lin Xiuran. Lin Xiuran waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I will definitely sleep in the town tonight, and I don't know if I can sleep."

When everything was settled here, Lin Xiuran and Lao Li got into the car and rushed to the funeral home together.Song Wen turned his head to look at Zhang Dahai again: "What other stories in this village have you not told us? Who is the man related to Yang Li?"

Zhang Dahai said: "After your analysis just now, I remembered that there are really old things about this family. Before Yang Li married to Zhou's family, she had a girlfriend in the village named Xue Jingming. Speaking of which, this person is somewhat related 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. However, Xue Jingming's father died early and his family was poor, so they could not afford the dowry money. For this marriage, Xue Jingming and his mother I went to various relatives to borrow money, and even went to Zhou's house. But after all, Mother Xue is just a widow who lost her husband, and her relationship with relatives has been broken long ago. In the end, they didn't borrow much at all. After being kicked out, the marriage failed. Later, they didn't expect Yang Li to marry Zhou Chuguo, but was picked up by their relatives, and Xue's mother became seriously ill in a fit of anger, and died a few years later."

"Let's talk about the Zhou family. Yang Li later married Zhou Chuguo and gave birth to a son soon after. She has single eyelids, but the child has double eyelids, Zhou Chuguo has a long face, but the child has a round face, it doesn't look very similar..."

Song Wendao: "It sounds like Xue Jingming is very suspicious. Why didn't you say such an important matter earlier?"

Zhang Dahai was so scolded that his neck shrank: "These two families have long since ceased contacting each other. If there are grievances and grievances, they are all from the past. Even if Xue Jingming is aggrieved, he will not come to revenge after several years, right? Before I thought the child's death was an accident, so I didn't think about it."

Hearing this, Song Wen took off the disposable gloves, wrapped them up and prepared to throw them away, and turned to look at Zhang Dahai and Xiao Meng who were still dazed aside: "What are you doing in a daze? Since we have all mentioned that Xue Jingming, This person is a serious suspect, please confirm whether he is still in the village as soon as possible. Also, ask the young people in the village to fill this hole. It is immoral to dig a hole and not fill it.”

"Well, who is Xue Jingming?" Xiao Meng interjected and asked Zhang Dahai: "I have been in the village for so many years, but I have never heard of such a person."

Zhang Dahai said: "It's Nine Fingers, the one who lost one finger, a famous old bachelor in the village." Everyone in this village usually talks by nicknames more than their real names. Xue Jingming is a generation behind this little policeman. It's normal that he doesn't know the name.

Xiao Meng snorted, and then picked up the number, "Isn't that man a well-known dutiful son nearby? When his mother was seriously ill, he never left him. And he likes children very much, and often goes to the nearby schools and kindergartens to give The children were sharing candy, and I saw him talking to Zhou Chuguo's son once."

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 does this Xue Jingming you are talking about do?"

Zhang Dahai said: "He used to help people decorate and do some carpentry work. Later, when he was working, he was sawed off by a chainsaw and cut off a finger. He couldn't work anymore, so he made a living by picking mountain products."

Song Wen analyzed: "If he had worked as a carpenter, he might have learned some skills in connecting electricity with an electrician. From this point of view, his career is right. If Xue Jingming thought that the child belonged to him, and accidentally learned that Zhou Chuguo killed him on purpose. If you have a child, it is very likely that you will do such an extreme thing as destroying the family. I am afraid that this is the motive for killing the electric switch."

By now, most of the evidence has been collected, and the logic has been straightened out.

Zhang Dahai sorted out his thoughts on the side: "Then the source may be that Zhou Chuguo killed the child, and Xue Jingming killed their whole family?"

Among these two cases, the child drowning case came first, and the electric door case came second. It seemed that they were not related, but in fact, the child drowning case was the cause of the whole incident.

Song Wen: "The existing clues deduce that this is the case. 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 does this child belong to?"

Song Wendao: "Wait for the DNA test results." Before the results are available, their inferences are just inferences. Now they have the cigarette butts left by the murderer, the bodies of Zhou Chuguo and the child, as long as they find Xue Jingming and get his DNA , everything can be revealed.

Zhang Dahai scratched his head and asked, "I understand your logic, but why did Xue Jingming kill Yang Li? After all, she was the woman he had a good relationship with before."

Song Wen thought for a while: "It's been so long, Xue Jingming's initial desire for Yang Li's feelings may have turned into hatred, and after the child's death, he felt that Yang Li also had a certain responsibility. As for For Zhou's mother, it probably has something to do with the fact that he went to Zhou's family to borrow money back then, but he didn't marry Yang Li in the end. However, these two people are not the ones he mainly wants to kill. He mainly wants to avenge Zhou Chuguo. Suppose Zhou's mother and Yang Li are married. If Zhou Chuguo didn't rush forward after getting an electric shock, those two people might have escaped."

Zhang Dahai was persuaded by Song Wen, nodded aside and said: "The details have been checked, and the height of the man is also in line. Although he is usually a little hunchback, he is not short. Xiaomeng, call Xiaozhang, go He called."

The more people analyzed, the more suspicious this person became. Song Wen frowned and said, "Don't call me over, hurry up, just find someone to go to his house to have a look. We will rush over there immediately." He thought for a while He also said: "Those who go to see must pay attention to safety, just confirm whether they are at home." If Xue Jingming is the murderer who wiped out people, he is probably already a desperado, and it may be dangerous to approach rashly .

Zhang Dahai just woke up like a dream. He made a phone call and told him to go to Xue Jingming's house first. After a while, the call came. The door of Xue Jingming's house was closed. He asked the neighbors, and they said he would visit at [-] o'clock in the morning. When he went out, he packed a backpack and carried it on his back. He asked him where he was going, but he didn't reply.

Zhang Dahai hurriedly led them into the village, and walked through several streets to the door of Xue Jingming's house. All the lights were turned on, but it was pitch black here.A few people stood outside the door, Lu Siyu switched his phone to flashlight mode, first took a picture of the ground, and then said, "The footprints are the same." After speaking, he looked at a cigarette butt at the door, "The brand of the cigarette Same."

"It's probably this one." After Song Wen finished speaking, he drew the gun from behind and kicked open the gate of the confinement courtyard with all his strength.After a bang, the door swung open.Song Wen saw that there was no movement inside, then entered, and said to Zhang Haihai behind him: "Pay attention to protecting the scene, call the physical evidence personnel, extract the physical evidence, and seal this place."

Zhang Dahai sighed and hurried to make a call.

Song Wen entered the door, and Lu Siyu was behind him using his mobile phone to take pictures.

The white light cut through the darkness, and the things in the room gradually became clear.

This is a single man's house. There are two rooms in total, which are connected. The house is fairly clean. There are two beds in the inner room. It is obviously cleaned up and not messy.Near the inside, there is an old TV, and some awards are neatly pasted on the wall, and the handwriting has long been illegible.Song Wen saw a dark green thing hanging near the door, walked in and took a look, it was a long raincoat.Song Wen remembered what the villagers said before, turned around and nodded at Lu Siyu, the murderer was very likely to be this person.

"Did you find anything inside?" Zhang Dahai's voice came over. The room was pitch black. He had just finished calling and called for someone to come over. At this time, he was about to turn on the light when he entered the door. Suddenly, Lu Siyu thought of something and called out in a low voice. :"careful!"

In the darkness, Zhang Dahai was stunned for a moment, but was pulled away 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 section of exposed copper wire with the wooden chopsticks placed on the table next to it.The lights here have already been modified and made into traps.

Song Wen also saw the wire at this time. If he touched it in the dark, it would easily cause new casualties. Fortunately, Lu Siyu discovered it, and he cursed in a low voice: "Damn, it's so cruel."

Zhang Dahai thought of the tragic situation of the corpses in the morning, and only felt that he had saved his life. He was sweating all over his body, and he stroked his chest and said, "I was scared to death, little brother, you just saved my life." Ah, when this case is over, I must buy you a drink to thank you."

Lu Siyu looked up at him coldly, and rebuffed his words like gold, "I don't drink."

Zhang Dahai had prepared a stomach full of flattery and wanted to pat him, but was hit by these four words, and he choked there for a while, speechless.The professional level of the police in this city is good, but why are they so unreasonable...
