Special Case Investigation Team VI

"Let's go, take us to the hospital to meet this Ma Liang." Cheng Jin handed Ye Lai the case file in his hand, and said to Mu Ying, "Bring Ma Liang's statement that you recorded earlier."

"Okay." Mu Ying agreed without hesitation.

Wang Tianzhi suggested: "It's almost time for lunch, why don't we have lunch first and then go to the hospital in the afternoon?"

"Is the food in your cafeteria delicious?" Xiao An asked.

ah?Wang Tianzhi hesitated for a moment, then said conservatively: "We can also go out to eat."

"Deputy Bureau Wang, you are busy with your work, don't worry about us, we won't starve ourselves." Cheng Jin got up and greeted Mu Ying, "Let's go."

Wang Tianzhi looked at Mu Ying, wanting to hint him to walk slowly, and to tell him something, but Mu Ying walked so fast that he could only sigh secretly.

Everyone got in the car, Bu Huan turned on the map navigation on his mobile phone, and said, "Boss, go to eat first?"

"it is good."

Bu Huan: "I want to eat rice, how about you?"

Others had no objections, Xiaoan said: "I have very low requirements, as long as it is delicious."

Ye Lai said with a smile: "Your request is already very high."

"Then find a restaurant that is delicious and serves meals." Bu Huan looked at Mu Ying, "Brother Mu, you know this place well, can you introduce one to us?"

Cheng Jin said: "It's better to go to the hospital and drop by, so as to save too much time."

Mu Ying was very satisfied with what Cheng Jin added. He even hoped that these people would go to the hospital for business first, and then go to eat.

He thought for a while and asked, "Do you eat things like pig ears, pig intestines, chicken offal, and chicken feet? I know a store that does a good job of making these. His store has been open for more than 20 years."

Bu Huan: "I can."

"I can do it too." Xiaoan said, not to be outdone.

Ye Lai smiled and said, "You can try it."

Han Bin didn't say anything.

Yang Simi looked at Cheng Jin, and Cheng Jin asked, "Cold dishes?"

Mu Ying: "The store also has hot dishes and other dishes. The ones I just mentioned are classic signature dishes."

"Okay, let's go then."

On the way, Cheng Jin read Ma Liang's statement.

Ma Liang has been idle since he was young. His biggest hobby is playing cards and mahjong, and stealing when he loses money.

One night he went to steal something again, and stole to Xiang Fang's house. While searching for money, he accidentally woke up Xiang Fang and her daughter. He threatened them with a knife to keep quiet and tied them up.

Then he asked where Xiang Fang's family's money was kept. After getting the money, he was afraid that Xiang Fang would call the police, so he killed her. The little girl saw his face and couldn't keep it, so he killed the little girl too. .

Ma Liang mentioned several details:

The rope he used to tie Xiangfang's mother and daughter was a twisted rope, and he tied a bow when tying the knot.

He covered the heads of Xiang Fang's mother and daughter, and covered them with fur clothes.At that time, he was rummaging through the money Xiang Fang hid in the closet. When he turned around and saw Xiang Fang looking at him, he casually grabbed a fur coat from the closet and threw it on the bed, covering Xiang Fang's mother and daughter's heads.

He originally wanted to use that fur coat to smother Xiang Fang to death, but the other party struggled so much that he had no choice but to stab her to death with a knife instead.

These details were only known to the police, and even Yan Shucheng couldn't explain these things clearly.

Cheng Jin asked Mu Ying: "If Ma Liang wasn't the murderer, how did he know these details?"

Mu Ying: "He may have seen the scene. He went to Xiang Fang's house to steal something that night, but when he went, Xiang Fang was already dead."

Cheng Jin: "He said that he wanted to smother Xiang Fang to death, but later changed to stabbing them to death with a knife. This is not something that can be said just by watching the scene."

Han Bin answered: "The autopsy report said that Xiang Fang had inhaled fluff from the fur coat in her respiratory tract. So what this person said has been verified. Xiang Fang was indeed covered with a fur coat."

"I know." Mu Ying said, "I think Ma Liang was bribed by someone, and someone told him these details that only the real murderer and those who have handled the case know."

"Been bribed, you mean he was bribed by Yan Shucheng, the murderer you identified?" Bu Huan asked.

Mu Ying hesitated and said, "I think it's possible."

Ye Lai looked at him sideways: "Isn't Yan Shucheng still in jail? The people he can contact are limited, who can help him do this?"

"I don't know, maybe he used some method to contact someone?" Mu Ying said.

Xiaoan sighed decently: "Hey, uncle, you are a bit of a shameless person. If you can't prove that the other party has a problem, then the other party's confession is valid. It's impossible for everything to go according to your wishes."

"..." Mu Ying's face was a little bit bad, and he said breathlessly, "I have a suspect, Yan Shucheng's current lawyer Zhao Leyu, this person went to the prison to give a legal education course a few years ago, I doubt Yan Shucheng since then, So I started planning to get Zhao Leyu to help him reverse the case."

Han Bin: "How did he persuade this lawyer to help him reverse the case? Use his frankness to convince the other party that he is innocent, or use money to impress the other party?"

Mu Ying didn't know.

"Is Yan Shucheng rich?" Bu Huan asked.

Mu Ying hesitated and said: "His family used to be relatively rich."

"Before? Now you have no money?"

"I heard that there was a problem with his family's business, and even the house was sold. It should be that he has no money."

Han Bin said, "Then he didn't impress the lawyer with money."

Xiao An was curious: "What did his family do before?"

"Hicraft business." Mu Ying said, "Yan Shucheng's father is a well-known jade carver, Yan Shucheng himself can also carve, he can do everything, I have seen his works, he can do jade carving, silver ornaments, jewelry, etc. , The things he made are, how should I put it, quite clever."

"It sounds like he's quite powerful, and you seem to appreciate him a little bit." Xiao An said, "Then why do you insist that he is a murderer?"

Mu Ying shook her head: "I'm not admiring him, it's because the things he made give people a very vivid feeling, the carved bugs seem to be alive, very creepy."

Xiao An blinked: "Oh, so you said he's 'very smart', you didn't mean to praise him."

Mu Ying said again: "I will never forget the first time I went to see him. He came out of the studio, his whole body was pale and pale, only his eyes were red and bright—"

Xiao An was surprised and said: "Ah? Why is it red?"

Han Bin: "Bloodshot." Instantly broke Mu Ying's magical description.

"Oh." Xiao An muttered, "Uncle, you are quite good at telling stories, you may consider starting a side job of telling stories online."

Mu Ying: "..."

"Brother Mu, please continue." Ye Lai said with a smile.

Mu Ying searched for feelings, and said, "I asked him if he knew Xiang Fang's mother and daughter..."

"Who?" The memory went through the years, and came to 18 years ago. The tall and thin Yan Shucheng put his hand on the door frame of his studio and asked impatiently, "Who do I know?"

Mu Ying told him the information about Xiang Fang's mother and daughter in detail, and told him that Xiang Fang's neighbors had seen him come out of Xiang Fang's house.

"Oh, I remembered, big sow and little sow." Yan Shucheng said, "I know them, what's wrong?"

Mu Ying suspected that she heard it wrong: "Sow?"

Yan Shucheng showed a cold smile: "Well, the mother and daughter are as fat as pigs, and they like to hum when they talk. You can't say they look like pigs, but they are exactly the same."

The young Mu Ying was stunned for a moment, and said, "...they are dead."

Yan Shucheng said indifferently: "Oh? It's finally out?"

"..."

Now, Mu Ying said to Cheng Jin and the others: "He knows Xiang Fang's mother and daughter, and looks down on them very much. He gives me the feeling that he doesn't take human life seriously. People are like pigs in his eyes. It doesn't matter if you kill them." .”

Yang Simi yawned, leaned on Cheng Jin's shoulder, and said, "If you don't take human life seriously, it doesn't mean you will kill someone."

Cheng Jin stroked Yang Simi's hair, but said nothing.

Mu Ying: "Anyway, he gave me a particularly strange feeling. Later we focused on investigating him, and sure enough, he was the murderer."

"Your 'sure enough' is inaccurate, and now there is another murderer." Xiao An said.

"... Now this is fake."

"But it seems real at the moment, more so than you think."

"..."

Bu Huan said: "The restaurant is coming soon, let's eat first, and then continue talking about the case after eating."

Everyone looked out of the window, Mu Ying said: "Go ahead, turn the corner ahead, the shop is in the alley."

Entering the alley, I came to a dilapidated small shop.

There is a large pot of lo mei on the counter at the door, and an old menu is posted on the wall.

They ordered three dishes of lo-mei, or pots, three stainless-steel pots of signature lo-mei, two pots of spicy one and one pot of non-spicy, and ordered a few more signature dishes.

The boss saw how many people there were, and greeted them: "Sit upstairs."

There is another floor upstairs, but it should be separated, the floor height is very low, and the head will soon reach the ceiling, which makes people feel very depressed.

But eating is sitting and eating, and it's okay.

There is no air conditioner, so the boss brought up two floor fans to blow on them, which was fine.

The lo mei tastes good, but the spicy ones are very spicy, and the non-spicy ones are salty, but it's a real meal with rice.

Yang Simi insisted on eating spicy food, his cheeks turned pink and his forehead and nose tip were sweating.

Cheng Jin reached for the paper towel, then paused, the paper towel here was very poor quality, gray and rough.

Han Bin sat diagonally across from him, and Cheng Jin's actions were all seen by him. He took out a pack of tissues from his bag and handed it to Cheng Jin.

Cheng Jin took it, and took out a tissue to wipe Yang Simi's sweat.

Mu Ying looked at the package of paper towels that Han Bin took out, which was very beautifully packaged and looked very high-end at first glance, and then at the inferior paper towels supplied by the store on the table, the unsophisticated string in his head was suddenly connected, and he was a little bit He thought anxiously, these "inspectors" from the capital seemed to be exquisite people, shouldn't he bring them to eat in this kind of restaurant?

"Delicious, refreshing!" Xiao An also took out a tissue to wipe off his sweat.

Ye Lai smiled and said, "And it's cheap."

Bu Huan: "Well, I think the large intestine is the most delicious, it's soft and waxy, and it's clean—"

Xiao An interrupted him: "Don't remind me of its function in life!"

Han Bin: "Too fat."

Seeing that they were enjoying their meal, the anxiety in Mu Ying's heart disappeared, and she said with a smile: "Fat intestines, we don't peel off the fat here, fatter tastes better."

After a while, the hot dishes came up, and one of the pots was so huge that it looked like a washbasin. This dish was sauerkraut and chicken offal. The vegetable stalks are also sour and have a crisp taste, but I can't tell what kind of dish it is.

Cheng Jin asked, "What kind of dish is this?"

"Sauer cauliflower stalks." Mu Ying said, "Remove the flowers on the white cauliflower, leaving only the stalks, and make the stalks into sauerkraut."

Cheng Jin picked up another cauliflower stalk and said, "It tastes good."

Yang Simi held out the bowl to him, and he picked up a few slices for Yang Simi as well.

"Unexpectedly, our boss likes to be a vegetarian," Bu Huan joked, "but he is really not a vegetarian."

"..." Mu Ying laughed dryly twice.

Cheng Jin doesn't like to be vegetarian, he's quite balanced, but the sauerkraut here is pretty good. "Eat your meal, no, let's eat more vegetables, I think I ordered too much, I guess I can't finish it."

Bu Huan held up the chopsticks to pick up the vegetables: "You can finish the non-salty ones, but there is nothing to do if it is too salty."

Mu Ying: "It's salty for dinner." Bu Huan said earlier that he wanted to eat.

"It's quite a meal," Bu Huan sighed, "but I've already eaten 3 bowls of rice, so I'm full."

The bowls here are not small, like Xiao An, she can't finish a bowl, but she can still eat more dishes.

At the end of the meal, except for the non-spicy salted pork, the other dishes were almost finished.

"I'll pack this." Mu Ying took more than half of the salted pork and went downstairs to find the boss.

Cheng Jin: "Bu Huan, hurry up and pay the bill." Don't let Mu Ying settle the bill.

"Oh, good." Bu Huan ran down the stairs to catch up with Mu Ying.

Ye Lai smiled and said, "Old Mu is a nice guy."

Xiaoan: "It's very down-to-earth."

"I care more about his ability to work." Cheng Jin said, "Let's go."

Everyone pack up and go downstairs.

After Bu Huan and Mu Ying came out, everyone got in the car and continued to the hospital.

Twenty minutes later, they came to the hospital ward.

Ma Liang is very thin, with a lot of wrinkles on his face. He looks no longer young, but in fact he is only in his early 40s.

Facing Cheng Jin and the others, Ma Liang was a little nervous and stumbled when speaking.

After chatting for a while, Cheng Jin asked, "Why did you think of stealing from Fang's house?"

Ma Liang: "I've seen her before. I've seen her play mahjong with others. I heard that she is very rich. I'm short of money, so I decided to go to her house to steal money."

"Why are you short of money?"

"Playing mahjong is relatively big, and I lost a lot of money."

"Well, then you went to steal money, how did you steal it?"

"Climb the window. She lives on the third floor. There is a small window on a protective window. I got into her house through that small window."

"What kind of window?"

"This way—" Mu Ying wanted to help explain.

Cheng Jin interrupted him: "Let him speak for himself."

Mu Ying closed her mouth, and Ma Liang said: "Her family is rich, and air conditioners were installed at that time, and there is a small window that can be opened on the protective window of the window near the outside unit of the air conditioner, which is usually locked with a small lock." If you open the small lock, you can push open the small window, and you can get out from there, and the small lock is easy to open."

"Why is that protective window so strange?" Xiao An asked.

Ma Liang looked at her and explained: "Little girl, you have never seen such a window, have you? It is convenient to go out. If the air conditioner is broken and needs to be repaired, then you can go out directly by opening the small window, otherwise you have to dismantle the entire protective window." come down."

Cheng Jin: "You entered Xiang Fang's house, what happened after that?"

Ma Liang continued: "I went to find where the money was hidden in her family. Most people hide money in the bedroom, so I went to the bedroom to look for it. The mother and daughter were sleeping and snoring very loudly, so I didn't worry. I was looking for something, and then they suddenly stopped snoring, which surprised me. I thought I was discovered, but it was not, they just turned over.

"But I was very angry because I couldn't find anything, so I went to the kitchen and took a knife and put it in my hand. Later, when they really woke up, I threatened them not to make a sound, and asked them to tell me about her family Where is the money hidden...Later, I was afraid they would call the police, so I killed them."

"Tell me how you tied them up."

"I put the knife on the little girl's neck," Ma Liang swallowed, "forced her mother to bind her legs first, then forced her to bind her mother's hands, and then asked her to bind her own legs , and then I tied her hands."

"Is that so?" Cheng Jin said, "In the previous statement, you said that you tied up the mother and daughter yourself."

"...Yes, I was afraid that they would not tie them tightly, so I tied them up again." Ma Liang said nervously, "Uh, I didn't make it clear before."

"Now show us how you tied it." Cheng Jin looked at the others and asked, "Did anyone bring the rope?"

"Yes, are the shoelaces okay? My shoelaces are getting long." Xiaoan squatted down to untie her shoelaces. She was wearing a pair of colorful sneakers, and the tying of the shoelaces was very complicated. But it looks good, but it is estimated that it will take a lot of time to wear this shoelace.

When Xiao An was untying his shoelaces, Cheng Jin continued to ask Ma Liang: "It is said that the rope you used at that time was twisted rope?"

"Yes, she has a big roll of that kind of rope in a drawer at home, and I'll use that."

"What about the rest?"

"……what?"

"rope."

"Oh, I used the leftover rope, I don't remember... oh no, I took it home, I took the leftover rope away." Ma Liang nervously wiped his forehead with the back of his hand.

"Is it long enough?" Xiao An untied the shoelaces.

"It's long enough, no wonder you tie it like a flower on your shoe." Bu Huan took the shoelace and handed it to Ma Liang, "Come on, tie me up."

"..." Ma Liang took the shoelace and wrapped it awkwardly around Bu Huan's wrist.

Nan Xiaoan took a video with his mobile phone next to him.

After tying it up, Cheng Jin looked at it, opened the case file again, compared it with the photos inside, then closed the case file, and said, "Go and try that twisted rope."

Ye Lai looked at Mu Ying: "Brother Mu, do you know where you can sell that kind of rope?"

"……Let me ask."

After that, Mu Ying and Bu Huan went to buy rope, and the others stayed in the hospital waiting for them.

Xiao An put the shoelaces back on the shoes. The way of putting them on was indeed very complicated. Xiao An had to compare it with the shoe on the other foot while wearing it, for fear that it would be asymmetrical.

Cheng Jin continued to ask Ma Liang various questions, from the details of the crime to his psychological dynamics, he repeatedly asked them tirelessly.

Especially the murder process, he asked Ma Liang to describe it many times.

The more Ma Liang spoke, the more nervous he became, and he even shivered a few times unconsciously.

Finally he couldn't take it anymore, and couldn't help but said: "If I knew what would happen after I surrendered, I wouldn't surrender myself."

Leaning on Cheng Jin's shoulder, Yang Simi, who was drowsy, opened his eyes: "Don't you want to repent before you die? People who really want to repent will not be impatient."

Ma Liang: "..."

Xiao An: "Yes, Uncle, you killed two people, such a big crime, how can you get impatient because we asked you a few more questions?"

Ma Liang smiled wryly: "...I'm not impatient, I just feel very uncomfortable, can the doctor give me a painkiller injection first?"

Cheng Jin looked at him and asked Ye Lai to ring the bell to call the doctor.

After the doctor came, he gave Ma Liang an injection.

When the doctor left, Han Bin chatted with him and learned that Ma Liang had no money to pay for the medical expenses. His current medical expenses were paid by the hospital for him, and the public security bureau would pay for him in the future.

It is almost suspected that Ma Liang turned himself in just because he had no money for medical treatment and wanted the government to pay for his medicine.

Two hours later, Bu Huan and Mu Ying came back after buying ropes. They didn't buy the same ones, but only similar ones. They bought several kinds, and they were all round ropes, unlike Xiaoan's shoelaces, which were flat.

Ma Liang tied the rope to Bu Huan's hands several times.

Xiaoan made a video while others were watching. Mu Ying looked at Cheng Jin, and Cheng Jin looked down at Ma Liang's movements with a calm expression.

After coming out of the hospital, it was getting late and it was time for dinner.

Mu Ying asked: "Is there any more food?"

"Yes, but don't be too salty, and don't want stewed vegetables. Eat something else. What do you think?" Bu Huan asked the others.

Others said yes.

"Is home cooking okay?" Mu Ying asked again.

"Okay, we can only afford home-cooked food." Bu Huan said, "If you want to eat well, you have to go to Cengfan."

Mu Ying didn't understand, but he didn't ask in detail, since everyone is not familiar with each other, so it's not good to ask more.

Everyone got in the car, Bu Huan set up the navigation, and then started the car.

Mu Ying looked at Cheng Jin: "Cheng Zu, do you think Ma Liang is telling the truth?"

"It's generally true."

"In general? Is that not true enough?" Mu Ying asked.

"What do you think?" Cheng Jin asked back.

Mu Ying: "I think he's just a thief, and he probably doesn't have the guts to kill people."

"But he is also a gambler, and the probability of a gambler killing someone is quite high," Ye Lai said.

Bu Huan echoed.

Han Bin: "He seems to be a little afraid of bloody scenes. When he was asked to describe them carefully, he couldn't explain clearly. However, even a timid person, as long as his emotions are up, he would dare to kill under the control of adrenaline. You might not remember how it all happened.”

Bu Huan complained about him: "You first said that he might have a problem, and then made it right for him. You didn't say anything."

"Is there something wrong with his rope?" Xiao An asked.

She felt that Cheng Jin asked Ma Liang to tie the rope many times, maybe there was something wrong with that step.

Ye Lai: "It looks similar to the rope tied on the victim's body in the file."

"Yeah." Cheng Jin didn't say anything, but said, "Let's go see Yan Shucheng tomorrow."

The restaurant for dinner is not in the alley, but in the "suburbs", surrounded by vegetable fields.

It is said that as long as it is a vegetarian dish, it is grown by the boss himself. It is fresh and free of pesticides. It is not only delicious but also healthy.

The restaurant is a large tin shed, and of course there is no air-conditioning. Fortunately, it is late now and the temperature has dropped a lot. Otherwise, it would be too hot even with an electric fan.

Everyone sat down at tables covered with plastic tablecloths.

Looking around, there are chickens and dogs on the ground, all of which can walk freely. Among them is a little black dog, which is chubby and has bright eyes, which is particularly eye-catching.

Yang Simi went over to tease it, pushed it down, and stroked its belly.

Cheng Jin walked over and took out his mobile phone: "Simi look up."

Yang Simi looked at him.

Click, Cheng Jin took a photo, clicked on the photo to take a closer look, the light was not good, but the atmosphere was warm, he was satisfied.

Yang Simi: "I'm right here, what are you doing looking at the photos?"

Cheng Jin put down his phone, looked down at Yang Simi and the puppy, and said with a smile, "Why does this dog look like a bear?"

"Yes, chubby, he looks like a bear lying on the ground." Xiao An also ran over.

At the other end of the dining table, Bu Huan stared at a mighty rooster and said, "That chicken is good, how about asking the boss to cook it for us?"

Ye Lai: "Come on—"

Mu Ying thought that the girl was soft-hearted and couldn't bear to kill, but Ye Lai continued: "It takes a long time to kill now, and it takes a long time to pluck chicken feathers."

"We have time," Bu Huan slapped himself on the arm as he was talking, and it was a big mosquito, "Forget it, forget it, I don't know how much blood I will lose while waiting for the chicken .”

Ye Lai took out the essential oil and gave it to him.

"I have it too." Despite saying this, Bu Huan still took Ye Lai's and used them.

Han Bin: "Boss, is there any mosquito coil?"

"Yes, yes." A middle-aged aunt came over to help them light the mosquito coils.
