Wrongful Death Criminal Investigation

"What are you going to do next?"

When several people walked out of the interrogation, Mingtang asked Qiu Shaoyang.

Qiu Shaoyang said: "Let me go through the existing files first. Could you please help me sort out the list of policemen who handled the case of dismemberment in the slaughterhouse 30 years ago, their contact information and home addresses?"

"Yes." Ming Tang easily agreed to his request.

After Yu Zhixuan pleaded guilty, Mingtang and Lu Changfeng started to prepare for the formalities and handed over to the procuratorate. There are still many things left.

Qiu Shaoyang stared at the files in the lounge. In fact, he had read all these files eight years ago. He had read every word over and over again, and he was familiar with punctuation. A breakthrough can be found.

The photos of the crime scene 30 years ago have begun to turn yellow, giving him a unique sense of age.

Qiu Shaoyang put together all the photos of the crime scene 30 years ago, which can basically restore the scene at that time.

According to the file, the first person to find the body was the slaughterhouse keeper, who came to open the door in the morning, ready to start a new day's work.

But when he opened the door and saw the dead body hanging inside, he was scared to pee on the spot.

Those of them who work in the slaughterhouse have never slaughtered pigs, horses, cattle and sheep, but there are people hanging in front of him, so how can he not be afraid?

When he calmed down a bit, he hurried to the town's public phone to call the police. He shouted and ran along the way, and many people living in the town were alarmed by him. They ran to the scene of the crime to see what happened. Some daring ones went directly to the scene of the crime. There were no less than [-] sets of footprints on the scene. It was impossible to confirm which set was left by the murderer, let alone some daring ones even moved the corpse. Before the police arrived, Many body parts were removed from the hooks by those people and placed on the ground, resulting in serious contamination of evidence.

After the efforts of forensic doctors, all the corpses were finally stitched together. There are a total of 4 corpses, a man, a woman and two children.

The man's name is Zhang Yi'an, who is considered to be a relatively wealthy person in the town, and the woman's name is his wife, Liu Xiaojuan, and the two children are their children.

In their bodies forensic detection detected a large amount of phenobar/bital sodium, which is a sedative-hypnotics drug. Village slaughterhouses in the 90s were not as industrialized as they are now, and slaughtering was almost done by human hands. Therefore, the pigs would be injected with sleep-sedative drugs the night before the pigs were slaughtered, so that they could be slaughtered the next day.

And because the control at that time was not strict, many people would steal the medicine from the factory and go out to make some money at a low price. In those days, people who resold human organs generally did not directly administer anesthetics in order to ensure the freshness of their organs. This kind of sleeping and calming drugs, so this kind of drugs are very widely circulated on the black market.

Investigating who stole the medicine from the factory would not be a breakthrough at all. The surveillance in those days was not as perfect as it is now. There was almost no surveillance in the villages and towns, and even computers were very luxurious, so there was no such thing as surveillance video. , it is impossible to check.

If you want to know who has entered and exited the crime scene, you can only rely on substantive evidence.

Every employee in the factory, from top to bottom, even the old man who watched the door was investigated. Almost 200 police forces were mobilized, and as many as 317 people were investigated, but nothing was found. The investigation of the entire case continued. For three months, it was not possible to find out who was suspected of committing the crime.

Although there were janitors in the factory, they did not close the back door at all that night, and the janitor fell asleep early because of drinking.There is nothing to steal in their factory. The pigs are all brought in from other places, and they are basically slaughtered and taken away on the same day they are pulled.

Therefore, the uncle at the door didn't know when the corpse was hung in the factory, and he was still woken up by the management who went to open the door of the workshop.

Many people go in and out through the back door when going to work, so no beneficial clues can be extracted from the back door.

"咚咚-"

There was a knock on the door of the lounge, and Ming Tang stood outside the door with a drink in one hand and documents in the other.

"Come in." Qiu Shaoyang said to him.

Mingtang put the documents in front of him, "It's been sorted out, there are no cases in these two days, I will accompany you to visit."

Then he put the drink in front of him, "I asked Tang Yan, Tang Yan said you like to drink jasmine tea, not too sweet things, so I ordered a cup without much sugar, I don't know if you still like it now .”

"Love." Qiu Shaoyang smiled at Mingtang, "Thank you."

"Did you find anything in the dossier here?" Ming Tang asked.

Qiu Shaoyang shook his head, took the drink that Mingtang bought for him, took two sips, it was still a little sweet, he couldn't eat too sweet things, it would cause toothache.

"I've read all the dossiers, and I didn't find any problems. Have you found any connection between Yu Zhixuan and the case 30 years ago?"

Ming Tang shook his head, "Yu Zhixuan is a very strange person, he went abroad with his father 30 years ago, and then returned to China 14 years ago to start a business with his friends, and he has not been found to have any contact with all the relevant personnel in the two cases. "

"Thirty years ago, he was only eight years old. At that time, if he was studying in the village or town, it was difficult to find his traces. Unlike today's children who study, they will have school records. In the 30s and [-]s, It was only at the beginning of junior high school that I started to have student status."

There was no electronic informatization back then, and it is really difficult to find those things on the Internet now, "Well, let's take a photo of him now. He must have had a passport when he went abroad 30 years ago. He must have a passport 30 years ago. The passport photo was also called out, and I went to find the aborigines near the slaughterhouse to see if anyone could recognize him, as long as people have survived in this society, they will definitely leave traces.”

"it is good."

Qiu Shaoyang said: "Even if there is no such person, it doesn't matter, as long as he is in our hands, we still have a chance to know who that person is from his mouth."

Mingtang doesn't know what caused him to look at Qiu Shaoyang like a little devil now, listless and bad, and he doesn't know when he will give you a big blow.

"Okay, then I'll start preparing, just call me when you go out."

The first person Qiu Shaoyang wanted to visit was Zhao Tongfeng, who was in charge of the case back then. He has retired for more than ten years and is now enjoying his old age in a nursing home on the outskirts of Shicheng.

He called the nursing home in advance and asked about Zhao Tongfeng's current situation and his own wishes. After getting the answer in the affirmative, he went to the nursing home with Ming Tang.

When passing by a flower shop, Qiu Shaoyang asked Mingtang to stop, he was going to buy a bouquet of flowers, how could he come to visit empty-handed.

Ming Tang followed suit and bought a bunch.

"I'll just buy it, what else do you want to buy?" Qiu Shaoyang felt that it was unnecessary.

Ming Tang explained: "There was a retired anti-narcotics policeman in that nursing home. He was targeted by drug dealers, and his family members were brutally killed by drug dealers. Only one youngest son survived. His son and I were classmates in the police academy. The relationship is very good. When he graduated from university, his youngest son was sacrificed in a capture operation, and now he is the only one left. I want to visit him by the way."

In peaceful times, anti-narcotics police is the most dangerous profession.They are located in the southwest of the motherland, and they are the first line of defense of the motherland. Every year, countless anti-drug heroes sacrifice their young lives for this. They fight for the motherland and the people, and finally become a tombstone with no name. , still standing in the southwest of the motherland, although their bodies are no longer there, their spirits are still there.

Qiu Shaoyang's uncle also died in the line of duty while chasing down drug dealers, so he hated those drug dealers, producers and addicts a thousand times over.

If money can be used to keep anti-drug heroes from harm, he is willing to spend all his money in exchange for the safety of all anti-drug personnel who are fighting on the front line.

Arriving at the nursing home, Qiu Shaoyang found the person who communicated with him on the phone at that time, and under the guidance of the other party, he met Zhao Tongfeng.

Zhao Tongfeng was in the room, wearing a police uniform that had been washed white, his hair was already gray, and he still looked energetic.

The person who brought him said: "I heard that you are coming, the old man has changed into the police uniform he has worn all his life."

Seeing this scene, Qiu Shaoyang felt a little sore in his eyes, and stepped forward quickly, "Captain Zhao."

Zhao Tongfeng looked him up and down, "You are the one who said on the phone that he would come to see me, I can recognize your voice."

Qiu Shaoyang nodded, "It's me."

"I didn't expect that after 30 years, there are still people investigating the case of that year." Zhao Tongfeng lamented the passage of time.

Qiu Shaoyang said: "Their only hope is the police. If we don't even help them, who else will help them find the truth and seek justice?"

"Well said." Zhao Tongfeng straightened his clothes and said, "More than ten years ago, someone said the same thing to me. He was as firm as you are now. His name is Qiu Shenglin."

"He is my uncle." Qiu Shaoyang said.

Zhao Tongfeng stared at Qiu Shaoyang for a moment, then nodded, "Let me just say, you look familiar, but I don't remember where I met him. So you are his nephew."

Zhao Tongfeng sighed: "He is a good policeman. He came to me 15 years ago during the case of hanging corpses of fans. I had just retired at that time. He asked me carefully about the details of the case of hanging corpses in slaughterhouses." 11 years ago in the winter, he called me and said he was coming to see me and confirm some things with me by the way.”

Qiu Shaoyang was speechless for a while in surprise, "You mean, he had new clues back then?"

"Yes." Zhao Tongfeng sighed, "It's just that I didn't expect that he ran into an absconding drug dealer on the way here, and had a car accident while chasing the drug dealer, and died on duty. It broke."

"It turns out that he came to see you."

After 11 years, he didn't know why his uncle came to Shicheng that day.

It turned out that it was for the case of hanging corpses in slaughterhouses.

"Yes." Zhao Tongfeng said regretfully: "He has never given up on investigating the case back then. I was shocked to see the news of his accident in the newspaper. It's a pity that a policeman like him is so good... ··”

Qiu Shaoyang's tears rolled in his eyes, his family will always be his injury, and anyone who mentions it will make him feel uncomfortable.

Mingtang stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder as a sign of comfort.

Zhao Tongfeng said: "If you want to know anything, just ask, and I will tell you everything I know."

Qiu Shaoyang eased his emotions, adjusted his state, opened the stool and sat down, opened his notebook, and started his questioning.

"I have read the dossier of your investigation back then, but the dossier is not recorded in such detail. Is there anyone in the investigation that makes you feel suspicious, but for some reason, it is not written in the dossier .”

Zhao Tongfeng thought about it carefully, "I sorted out the files at the time, so I was very impressed. To tell you the truth, I didn't give up on this case until I retired. I basically have impressions of all the people who have been investigated. None of them are particularly suspicious."

"The group of people we suspected at the beginning, after our investigation, finally had an alibi, so they were all excluded." Zhao Tongfeng said, "Then we sorted it out again, and there was still nothing new. Even two We have investigated whether the child has provoked anyone and caused his death, otherwise there would not have been more than 300 investigation files. It can be said that we have investigated all the people related to their family all over."

Qiu Shaoyang thought for a while, and guided: "This person is not particularly eye-catching, he even looks very honest, and he often comes into your sight during the investigation, but he has a perfect alibi, and was excluded by you. He may have a very close relationship with the victim's family, so even if they have conflicts, outsiders will not know. Other people have very good evaluations of him, so none of you suspect him. "

According to the characteristics described by Qiu Shaoyang, Zhao Tongfeng would think according to his memory, and after maybe 5 minutes, he still shook his head, "There is no such person. Zhang Yi'an and his family are very rich in the town, more or less they don't treat others Seriously, so everyone’s evaluation of their family is not very positive, and the employees in the factory are the same, accusing him of treating employees very harshly on weekdays. If such a person really exists, I can’t be unimpressed.”

"Then have you seen the parents of the deceased? Why weren't the parents of the deceased killed by the murderer?" Qiu Shaoyang asked.

Zhao Tongfeng said: "The victim and his parents lived separately. Although they both lived in the town, Zhang Yian and the others lived in the newly built house after they got married, while Zhang Yian's parents lived in their old house. According to neighbors They said that Zhang Yi'an's parents also lived with Zhang Yi'an at first, but when the two children grew up, they were very mischievous, and the two old people were in poor health, so they moved back to the old house where there were many relatives. Zhang Yian is not the only child of the old man, and all board and lodging are in Zhang Yian's elder brother's house, and Zhang Yian pays the food money of the second elder every month."

"What kind of person is Zhang Yi'an's elder brother?" Qiu Shaoyang asked.

Zhao Tongfeng said: "I used to be the driver for Zhang Yi'an's factory, but then I got into a car accident and lost a leg, so I just stayed at home, basically relying on Zhang Yi'an to support him, and he was able to do some manual work and earn some change. "

"So, the relationship between the two brothers is not bad." Qiu Shaoyang said: "What kind of person is Zhang Yi'an's sister-in-law?"

"His sister-in-law works in a factory in the city and returns home once a month. She seems to be a woman who can endure hardships." Qiu Shaoyang said: "She was in the city on the night of the incident, and the people in the dormitory can prove it for her."

Qiu Shaoyang took out the photo and handed it to Zhao Tongfeng: "Look at this person, do you have any impression?"

Zhao Tongfeng held up the photo, looked at it carefully under the sun, and shook his head: "I haven't seen it before."

"What about this one?" Qiu Shaoyang handed over Yu Zhixuan's photo back then.

Zhao Tongfeng looked at it more carefully this time, and stayed silent for a longer time, "I probably haven't seen it before."

After speaking, he took the photo and looked at it for a while, and finally insisted that he hadn't seen it.

30 years have passed, even if you have seen it, if you just glance at it, you may not have much impression.

"You suddenly gave me these two photos. Did he have anything to do with the case back then?"

"There are some."

Zhao Tongfeng asked: "What's the relationship?"

It was inconvenient for Qiu Shaoyang to disclose the details of the case, which made him a little embarrassed.

Zhao Tongfeng nodded understandingly, "Okay, I know, it's confidential."

Qiu Shaoyang smiled lightly.

Mingtang said: "This person is the murderer of the hanging corpse case we investigated yesterday. This case has some similarities with the case of that year, so we suspect that he is somehow related to the murderer of that year."

"That's it." Zhao Tongfeng fell into deep thought, took the photo over and looked at it carefully.

Qiu Shaoyang could see that he was really trying hard to remember if he had ever met this person.

After a long time, Zhao Tongfeng sighed, "I have no impression, but you can ask other police officers who handled the case, maybe someone has seen it. You can also ask the aborigines in the town at that time, if this person is in their town It appeared on the Internet, maybe some people still have the impression."

Leaving from Zhao Tongfeng's side, Qiu Shaoyang accompanied Mingtang to meet the retired anti-narcotics policeman.

Ming Tang comforted him, "We still have a chance."

Qiu Shaoyang smiled, "Yes."

When they went, people were not in the room, but basking in the sun in the back garden downstairs.

Mingtang and Qiu Shaoyang went downstairs, turned around the intersection and came to the back garden. A row of elderly people sat around together, and a radio was placed on the table, playing Beijing opera.

"Uncle Yuan." Ming Tang called out.

An old man with gray temples turned his head and saw Ming Tang, showing a kind smile. There was a hideous scar on the old man's forehead.

Uncle Yuan stood up and walked to Mingtang on crutches, "I haven't seen you for a long time, how is your father?"

Ming Tang nodded, "They are all fine, how are you recently?"

"Okay, everything is fine."

With Mingtang's support, Uncle Yuan walked to the pavilion and sat down.

Uncle Yuan looked at Qiu Shaoyang kindly, "Young man, you are Mingtang's new colleague."

Qiu Shaoyang nodded, "Hello, Uncle Yuan, my name is Qiu Shaoyang."

"A good name, and good looks." Uncle Yuan looked at Ming Tang again, "Jiang Qiao and the others also came to see me two days ago, and asked me about you. He is very good now, and he is a member of the anti-drug brigade. Captain."

Ming Tang was startled.

Uncle Yuan took Mingtang's hand and said, "Jiang Qiao is one year younger than you, and the child can walk. Why are you not in a hurry. I want to talk about hugging the child before dying."

Mingtang smiled awkwardly, "I'm afraid it won't work for the past two years. I'm now the captain of the Serious Crime Squad. I handle various cases every day. I'm so busy that I don't have time to fall in love."

"Mr. Lu Xun once said: Time is like water in a sponge. As long as you are willing to squeeze it, there is always some time. Don't use time as an excuse. Can a criminal policeman be busier than a drug police officer? Everyone has time to get married and have children. You don't, you have to pay close attention to personal issues."

Uncle Yuan looked at Qiu Shaoyang, "Xiao Qiu, you are so good-looking, you must know a lot of girls around you, and you should also help our Mingtang to find more girls to see if there is any suitable for him, and if so, you can introduce him One, to solve his personal problems."

Qiu Shaoyang nodded with a smile, "Uncle Yuan, don't worry, I will help you to keep an eye on it, and if there is a suitable one, I will be the first to introduce it to him."

At their age, you can't avoid the issue of urging marriage even if you want to avoid it.

Qiu Shaoyang has been urged many times, and he can be regarded as a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water. He has summed up his experience, anyway, don't be tough, just promise first.

Ming Tang forced a smile on his face, and the two chatted with Uncle Yuan for half an hour before leaving.

In the car, Mingtang and Qiu Shaoyang said, "Don't take what Uncle Yuan said seriously, I really don't need to find a partner."

"Don't talk too much, it's usually easy to slap your face." Qiu Shaoyang said with a smile, "What if you meet love around the corner."

"I really don't have time."

"Mr. Lu Xun said..."

"Stop it, I don't care what anyone said, I don't want to be in a relationship right now, I just want to start a career." Ming Tang said solemnly.

Qiu Shaoyang asked: "Then what if you meet someone you like?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Qiu Shaoyang: "...In case, I mean in case, you assume, if such a person really appears, would you choose to fall in love with him, or would you choose not to talk about it?"

Mingtang thought for a while, "That depends on how much I like him."

"The kind I like very much, the kind that can't live without him."

Ming Tang put on a mask of pain, "I'm almost 30 years old, and I'm no longer the kind of innocent boy in his teens or 20s who blushes when he sees other people kissing him. In this world, no one leaves Who can't live."

"You really are..." Qiu Shaoyang was speechless, "It's not romantic at all, and it's not without reason that you're single."

"What about you?" Mingtang looked at him, "If you met such a person, what would you do?"

Qiu Shaoyang said: "I don't know, I haven't met anyone I particularly like so far, so I don't know what I will do."

Ming Tang was a little surprised, "Have you never been in love?"

"No." Qiu Shaoyang said: "I didn't meet anyone I like in college. I didn't think about it after I came to work. After I went abroad, I came into contact with all kinds of things, but they didn't feel right, so I haven't talked about them."

"I thought, your appearance is at least the type that you have talked about ten or eight times."

"Do I look flamboyant?"

"That's not true. The main reason is that you are so handsome. You have only been in the bureau a few times, and all the police girls in the bureau are attracted by you, and they don't even chase after their idols."

"Who stipulates that handsome people must fall in love." Qiu Shaoyang said: "Lu Changfeng is much more handsome than me, isn't he also single?"

"There's a reason why he's single." Mingtang said: "With his bad mouth, who can stand him, such a handsome guy, why does he have such a mouth?"

"His usual communication seems quite normal, and I don't see much damage."

Mingtang clicked his tongue twice, "He has almost taken all the bamboo shoots on the mountain. You have had too little contact with him. If you have more contact with him, you will know that his mouth is like a machine gun, and even the director has shot through it."

Lu Changfeng, who was writing the closing report in his office, sneezed.
