Criminal Investigation Chronicle

Zhao Lei found out that there was something hidden in this case, so he called Lin Chong. Lin Chong happened to be on summer vacation at the police academy and was free. After Zhao Lei told Lin Chong the details of the case, Lin Chong went to Zhang Wu and Hu Fei's hometown a few times. Go to investigate Zhang Wu and Hu Fei by yourself.Zhao Lei checked the situation of the two at the construction site according to the construction site where the two worked.

The troops were divided into two groups, and Zhao Lei found the person in charge of the construction site. Coincidentally, this construction site was originally in charge of Lu Qiu (one of the five missing persons above), and the person in charge of the construction site was changed only after Lu Qiu disappeared in March.The new person in charge is Huang Fuqiang, a fat man with big arms, round waist, and fleshy body. After Zhao Lei revealed his identity, Huang Fuqiang nodded and bowed, and passed Zhao Lei a cigarette.

Zhao Lei didn't answer, but just asked: "What impression do you have of Zhang Wu and Hu Fei who used to work at your construction site? Why did they leave the construction site?"

Huang Fuqiang scratched his head, lit a cigarette, thought for a while, and said: "Officer, those two you are talking about, I remember, they are quite capable, but they have a bad temper, and once thought that my salary was low , I quit after a fight with me. But police officer, you should ask about it, the wages I pay are higher than when Lu Tou was here before, and the nearby construction sites belong to my company. "

Zhao Lei asked again: "Are you familiar with Lu Qiu?"

Huang Fuqiang shook his head: "I'm not familiar with it. We used to belong to the same construction company, but each had its own area. After Lu Tou was killed, I was transferred by the company to take charge of his business."

Zhao Lei asked some other questions and asked Huang Fuqiang to leave after recording.Then Zhao Lei asked other workers on the construction site. The workers said that Zhang Wu and Hu Fei were both very capable and had a good relationship with the workers. After hearing that they were shot to death during the robbery, the workers were very surprised. In their eyes, Neither of these men was a heinous gangster.As for why the two left the construction site, there are different opinions. Some people said that they agreed with Huang Fuqiang, while others immediately said otherwise, saying that the two left the construction site because of family matters. The good relationship has changed jobs, and some people say that the two have a very good relationship with Huang Fuqiang, and it is impossible to fall out with Huang Fuqiang for wages.Zhao Lei asked many workers, but after Zhao Lei's investigation, it was found that the two did not engage in other jobs after leaving the construction site.

Back at the police station, Zhao Lei contacted Lin Chong, but Lin Chong's phone was disconnected. Zhao Lei was a little worried, so he contacted the local police. The police told Lin Chong that there was basically no signal in the village he was going to. news.

According to the investigation, the police found the residence of Zhang Wu and Hu Fei, which was an old rented building. Zhao Lei came to the residence of the two and found a medical record from the residence. This medical record belonged to Hu Fei, which said that Hu Fei had a tumor.After Zhao Lei checked with the hospital, it proved that Hu Fei had a tumor in his brain and urgently needed craniotomy, which was expensive.Zhao Lei deduced that Zhang Wu and Hu Fei should have learned that Hu Fei had a tumor and needed surgery, but they didn't have enough money in hand, so they took the risk and robbed the gold store, but before they robbed the gold store, someone Zhao Lei was notified, and then Zhao Lei who rushed over caught up with Zhang Hu and Zhang Hu. Seeing that there was no hope of escape, the two took hostages and were shot dead.

This is basically the case, but who is the person who called Zhao Lei?Why did he know that Zhang and Hu were going to rob that gold shop?That person was obviously not an accomplice of Zhang and Hu, but he knew who they were robbing, and notified Zhao Lei in advance to make Zhang Hu have nowhere to escape. □□, in that case, in order to ensure the safety of the hostages and prevent them from causing more serious consequences, the police had no choice but to shoot them dead.From this, Zhao Lei analyzed that this was more like a conspiracy to kill someone with a borrowed knife!

From the perspective of social background and interpersonal relationship, Zhang and Hu arrived in Yanjing at the beginning of the year, and their work experience was only working on the construction site. There is no useful information about the rest. Zhao Lei decided to use the experience of the two on the construction site as a breakthrough.Zhao Lei thought for a long time, when his cell phone rang, it was Zhao Lei's wife, Cao Meng, who asked Zhao Lei to take her for a prenatal checkup after get off work.Zhao Lei hung up the phone with a sweet face. His wife Cao Meng is a nurse. Zhao Lei was injured in an arrest operation and was taken care of by Cao Meng. The two fell in love and married naturally. Now Cao Meng is six months pregnant. Today It was the day when the doctor ordered a prenatal checkup.

Zhao Lei accompanied his wife through the prenatal examination, and the test results showed that everything was normal. Although Zhao Lei couldn't let go of the case, he was also full of joy when he saw his beloved wife and his wife's growing belly, and the haze in his heart was swept away.

When he was about to leave the hospital, Zhao Lei remembered that this was the hospital where Hu Fei had been treated. He heard that the oncology department of this hospital was very famous. Zhao Lei asked his wife to wait in the corridor and went to the oncology department by himself.In the oncology department, Zhao Lei asked several doctors, and a young doctor with glasses remembered Hu Fei's situation, so he chatted with Zhao Lei.

The old doctor said: "Hu Fei came with a tall and thin man that day. When he came, he was in a bad condition. Hu Fei had nosebleeds all the time. After a CT scan at the outpatient clinic, it was found that Hu Fei had a tumor in his brain. The old doctor put Hu Fei was admitted to the hospital and told him that his condition was serious and he needed an operation, but the operation fee was very high, and he needed regular chemotherapy after the operation. After Hu Fei asked about the operation fee, he called someone. I don’t know who he called. I only heard that [-] yuan was said there, but [-] yuan is not enough even for the operation fee, let alone the chemotherapy afterwards, if this kind of operation is performed without chemotherapy, the cancer cells will continue to spread soon..."

Zhao Lei didn't know anything about surgery, so he hurriedly asked, "Do you know who Hu Fei called? What else did they say, please recall carefully."

The old doctor said again: "I really don't know who it was called to, but after I heard him call and say [-] yuan, not long after, Hu Fei's expression changed and he said, 'Really, okay, okay, I know It's over', after saying this, Hu Fei hung up the phone and was about to be discharged from the hospital, and Hu Fei's expression at that time was a little strange, it was not the kind of despair that is often seen on the faces of tumor patients, but very happy and excited." The old man The doctor drank his saliva and added: "He said he would come back to the hospital for treatment in a few days and asked me to prescribe some medicine for him."

Zhao Lei watched as Hu Fei was discharged from the hospital on August 8, a week before the robbery.Zhao Lei asked the technicians to retrieve Hu Fei's call records.

Then Zhao Lei left the hospital with his wife, sent her home and returned to the police station.Sitting in the office, Zhao Lei began to reason seriously according to the clues provided by the old doctor.In the afternoon, Zhao Lei left the police station and went to the robbed gold shop first.

There were only two employees in the gold store, and one of them was the employee who was watching the store when the robbery happened that night.Seeing that there were no customers in the store, Zhao Lei came over and asked the staff: "Does your gold store close at 8 pm? Are there any customers at night?"

The employee replied without hesitation: "Yes, there is usually no business in our store at night, so we close on time at 8 o'clock. It happened to be a coincidence that day, a customer came to pick up the ring, and he came a bit late. He finished picking up the ring at 8:10 o'clock. Min, I was about to close the door when the robbers came."

Zhao Lei thought to himself, if Zhang Wu and Hu Fei were going to rob, they must have already stepped on it, knowing that the gold store closed at 8 pm, and there was no business at night; and seeing that there were customers in the store, in order to avoid accidents, they should be outside the store The robbery was carried out after the person had left. In this way, after the customer had left, at 8:10, Zhao Lei seemed to have thought of something, and immediately asked, "What does the customer who took the ring look like? Is there any information about him?"

The employee replied: "There is no information. He came to order the ring in advance. After paying the deposit, we issued him a receipt and agreed a date. He came to pick it up without even leaving a phone call."

Zhao Lei asked again: "What does that person look like? Is his surname Huang?"

The employee shook his head, rummaged through the counter, took out a receipt slip, pointed to the slip and said, "The customer's surname is Wang, here he signed for Mr. Wang, and he looks nothing special, neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin. , in his thirties, a very ordinary person."

Zhao Lei took the slip away as evidence, thinking that if it was really his setup, there would not be such an obvious loophole left.

After leaving the gold shop, Zhao Lei came to the construction site and saw the fat Huang Fuqiang pointing on the construction site.Huang Fuqiang also saw Zhao Lei, and immediately ran over and said, "Officer, what instructions do you have?"

Zhao Lei stared at Huang Fuqiang for a while, and Huang Fuqiang felt a little uncomfortable, so Zhao Lei asked, "How is your personal relationship with Zhang Wu and Hu Fei?"

Huang Fuqiang said: "There is no personal relationship, just acquaintance."

Zhao Lei said again: "Is it just acquaintance? I heard from the workers that you are very generous. You often invite workers to eat and drink after get off work, but you are very considerate to Zhang Wu and Hu Fei."

Huang Fuqiang smiled awkwardly, and then said: "Since you know the police officer, I will tell the truth. I actually have a good relationship with them. These two young people are both foreigners, and they have only been on the construction site for a short time. But they work very hard. I like them very much. When I saw them, I remembered the time when I first entered the society. At that time, I was not so fat and I was good at work. But At the beginning, the salary was very low. Thanks to the appreciation of the boss, he gradually promoted me, so I can be what I am today. I saw the shadow of my youth in them, so I took extra care of them. I said that I have no personal relationship with them, but it is because I heard that the two of them committed a crime, and I was afraid that I would also be held responsible."

After hearing what Huang Fuqiang said, Zhao Lei continued to ask, "Do you know that Hu Fei has a tumor?"

Huang Fuqiang looked surprised: "No way, Hu Fei is so young."

Zhao Lei carefully observed Huang Fuqiang's demeanor, and said, "Ask again, why did Zhang Wu and Hu Fei leave the construction site?" Judging from the time, Zhang and Hu left the construction site at the end of June, while Hu Fei found out that he had a tumor in early August. However, it cannot be ruled out that Hu Fei left the construction site due to physical discomfort.

Huang Fuqiang said: "As for why the two of them left, I really don't know. They were going to leave that day, and I tried to persuade them to stay, but I insisted on not staying. I even invited them to have a drink. It's a pity to say that. If the two of them had been working on the construction site, I don’t think they would have gone astray, embarked on the road of robbery and crime, and ended up like this.” As he spoke, Huang Fuqiang’s eyes were moist with tears.

Zhao Lei didn't give Huang Fuqiang time to cry, and said sharply, "You said you didn't know that Hu Fei had a tumor, so how do you explain this call record?" After speaking, Zhao Lei took out a piece of paper from his body and threw it on the ground.

Huang Fuqiang was so frightened that he immediately knelt on the ground, crying and saying: "The police are wronged. I admit that Hu Fei called me that day and said that he had a tumor and asked for a lot of money for treatment, but I can only give [-] at most. Come……"

Zhao Lei asked again: "How do you explain the latter?" In fact, Zhao Lei just typed something casually on the paper. With the existing technical means, it is impossible to retrieve the detailed content of Hu Fei's call records. Talked to Huang Fuqiang on August 8th.

Huang Fuqiang cried and said: "Comrade policeman, I said that although I can only give out [-] yuan, in order to comfort Hu Fei, I said that I will find a way to ask them to go to the restaurant they often go to discuss at night, and promise to help them solve the problem." Treatment costs."

Zhao Lei picked up the paper on the ground and asked again: "Then how did you discuss it, and what method did you think of to help him pay for the treatment?"

Huang Fuqiang was still paralyzed on the ground, and said in a crying voice: "I can think of any way, that is, treat them to a meal, and comfort Hu Fei. I said to give him [-] yuan first, and let him do the operation first. Find a solution for the rest. I just feel sorry for him, otherwise why should I give him [-] yuan to let him have an operation, comrade police, you must investigate clearly, I am innocent."

Zhao Lei didn't pay attention to the fat man in front of him, but he had some calculations in his heart: this fat man looks like a waste, but he is erratic, inconsistent, obviously told a lot of lies, but pretends to be innocent.

In the afternoon, Zhao Lei sent people to watch Huang Fuqiang, and went back to the police station by himself. As soon as he arrived at the police station, he received a call from Lin Chong.After listening to what Lin Chong said, Zhao Lei fell into deep thought.Lin Chong will arrive tomorrow.At this time, Xiao Wang, who was staring at Huang Fuqiang, called and told Zhao Lei that Huang Fuqiang had gone to the flower shop. It was the same flower shop where Zhang and Hu had taken the owner of the flower shop hostage.

Zhao Lei asked Xiao Wang to watch at the door of the flower shop, and if Huang Fuqiang made any changes, he would be arrested immediately.A few minutes later, Xiao Wang called and said that Huang Fuqiang had bought a few bunches of flowers in the flower shop and left without any unusual behavior.
