Wrongful Death Criminal Investigation

After leaving the nursing home, Mingtang drove to Zeyang City where the slaughterhouse case was located.

Zeyang Town 30 years ago has now been renamed Zeyang City, which belongs to a county-level city.Compared with Zeyang 30 years ago, earth-shaking changes have taken place. Zeyang Town 30 years ago was in the mountains. It took one or three hours to drive from Zeyang Town to Shicheng City. It only takes one hour from the district to Zeyang Town.

Before arriving in Zeyang, Ming Tang had already contacted the local Public Security Bureau.When they came to investigate the old cases of the year, they naturally sought the assistance of the police who were familiar with the local area, so that they could get twice the result with half the effort.

Zeyang City is under the jurisdiction of Shicheng City, and Mingyao, director of the Shicheng Public Security Bureau, is Mingtang's father.

The car was parked at the entrance of the Zeyang City Public Security Bureau. The Zeyang City Public Security Bureau is as big as a sub-bureau in the city, with a police force of [-], but in a small city like Zeyang City, there is not a single major case all year round.

Looking back on the past, the biggest case should be the case of hanging corpses in slaughterhouses back then. Not to mention that everyone knows about it, but people who are a little older still have a certain understanding of this case.

Hearing that they are coming in the explanation hall, the Bureau has already prepared the materials they need in advance.

As soon as Mingtang finished registering at the gate, several police officers walked out of the city bureau.

Looking at the police ranks on his shoulders, Mingtang probably guessed their identities and walked over quickly.

"Captain Ming, I'm Liao Hanqi, director of the Zeyang City Public Security Bureau." The short and fat man at the head smiled and held out his hand to Mingtang.

Ming Tang immediately reached out to shake hands, "Hello Director Liao, I'm sorry to trouble you this time."

"No trouble." Director Liao said repeatedly, then pointed to two men and a woman behind him and said: "These are Deputy Director Zhou Lingling Zhou, who is in charge of criminal investigation. Liao Guoming, the head of the criminal investigation detachment. Xiao Haoyu, the vice-captain of the Criminal Investigation Detachment."

After Ming Tang shook hands with them and greeted them, he introduced Qiu Shaoyang to everyone, "This is Qiu Shaoyang, a specially appointed consultant from our Spring City Public Security Bureau, who is in charge of the investigation of this case with me."

Director Liao quickly handed over his hand, "Hello, Consultant Qiu."

Qiu Shaoyang shook hands with Director Liao briefly, and then shook hands with other people in turn.

"Then let's talk inside." Director Liao greeted the two of them to go inside.

The director's office is on the fourth floor. Director Liao greeted everyone to sit down, and then a policeman brought tea.

Qiu Shaoyang and Mingtang sat on the side.

The director pointed to the two of them and said, "These are all locals. You can ask them if you have any doubts or questions about the case 30 years ago."

The few people in front of them seem to be quite old, and maybe they will really have unexpected gains this time.

Mingtang said: "That's right, we came here rashly this time to investigate a person."

"Who?" Director Liao asked.

Mingtang took out the photo of Yu Zhixuan from his notebook and handed it to Director Liao, "This man is Yu Zhixuan, and he is the murderer of a case we handled yesterday. Through investigation, we found that he may have happened in this city 30 years ago. Therefore, the main purpose of coming to this city this time is to visit the aborigines near the slaughterhouse and see if anyone has any impression of this person."

Director Liao was later transferred to Zeyang City as the director. He was dispatched, and his ancestral home was not in Zeyang City, so it was useless to look at the photos.

But he is the highest official here after all, it is impossible for Ming Tang to bypass him and pass the photo directly to other people, it is disrespectful to him.Even if he is the son of the director of the Shicheng Public Security Bureau.

Director Liao handed the photo to Zhou Lingling, "Deputy Director Zhou, take a look."

Zhou Lingling picked up the two photos and looked at them carefully. She felt unfamiliar and shook her head: "I don't have any impression."

After speaking, he handed the photo to the criminal investigation captain and deputy captain.

The two looked at each other and shook their heads.

"If it's someone from Zeyang City, I can check his details for you."

"No need." Ming Tang said, "He is not from Zeyang City."

"Then how could he have something to do with the case 30 years ago?" Xiao Haoyu asked puzzled.

Mingtang smiled: "It is inconvenient for us to disclose the details of the case, but through our conversation with him, we found that he knew who the murderer was, but he was unwilling to cooperate and tell the police about the murderer. He was very clear about the details of the crime scene that year. , so we infer that he must have been to the scene of the crime, so we infer that he should appear near the slaughterhouse."

"That's quite reasonable." Director Liao nodded, looked at Xiao Haoyu, and arranged: "Xiao Xiao, go and sort out all the information about the aborigines in the town back then, and see which ones are still in this city, and arrange for people to immediately To conduct a visit and investigation, and give me a result in the shortest possible time."

"Yes." Xiao Haoyu went out with two photos.

Mingtang and Qiu Shaoyang looked at each other, Qiu Shaoyang raised his eyebrows.

Director Liao said: "You two haven't eaten yet, why don't we go out to have a meal together?"

It's time for dinner, and as the bureau chief, he must do his best to be a landlord no matter what.

"It's free to go out to eat, just eat in the cafeteria. I have official duties and time is precious. When the case is solved, let's get together again."

"That's okay, we'll eat in the cafeteria." Director Liao and Criminal Investigation Detachment Captain Liao Guoming said, "Xiao Liao, tell the cook in the cafeteria to make some small dishes, and let the two of you try our Zeyang specialties."

After speaking, he looked at the two of them again: "I don't know if you two have any taboos." After all, he is the leader of Zeyang City, and Qiu and Ming are guests, so he should treat them well.

Qiu Shaoyang and Mingtang shook their heads one after another.

Director Liao played tricks on Liao Guoming, and Liao Guoming left.

"Our place is relatively small. Over the years, there has only been one big case. If this case can be solved, it will be a great thing."

Mingtang smiled.

Qiu Shaoyang didn't say anything about it, so what if the case is solved, the murderer is long gone, what else can he do?Digging up the grave and throwing up the ashes?

Chief Liao chatted with Mingtang about a lot of things, most of which were words of praise for us, such as those who are young and talented, and Qiu Shaoyang didn't join in their conversations very much, so he was called out occasionally. Two sentences.

About 10 minutes later, Liao Guoming came and asked them to eat.

Only then did Ming Tang barely escape, and Qiu Shaoyang could see that he was not a person who was good at talking with others.

It's not that Qiu Shaoyang is not good at it, but that he doesn't want to.He's just a consultant. After the case is over, he has nothing to do with these people.

Besides, the unavoidable entertainment in the business field, bragging rainbow farts to each other, Qiu Shaoyang is really annoyed, he doesn't want to talk to people if he can't talk to others.

Mingtang deliberately slowed down and walked side by side with Qiu Shaoyang, so that he would not be dragged by Director Liao to say that.

There were quite a lot of people in the cafeteria, as soon as Mingtang and Qiu Shaoyang walked in, they attracted everyone's attention.

However, the two of them had long been used to being appreciated as mascots, so they sat down with Director Liao calmly.

The surrounding policemen whispered, neither Qiu Shaoyang nor Mingtang distracted them.

Zeyang City is located at the junction of Chuncheng and Shicheng, and the distance to both places is actually about the same, so there is nothing special about Zeyang cuisine, which is the dish that people in the two cities usually eat.

In comparison, Spring City's dishes are a little more mixed. After all, it is a city mainly developed by tourism, and it brings together delicacies from all over the country.Shicheng takes the nostalgic route, relatively speaking, it has more features.Zeyang is a combination of these two places.

Qiu Shaoyang has a slightly heavier taste in food, he likes to eat salty, fragrant and spicy food, as long as he puts chili, he can eat anything.

Mingtang's family eats lighter food, so he can't eat anything that is too spicy.

Coincidentally, the cook in this cafeteria tasted spicy, Qiu Shaoyang ate it just right, but Ming Tang felt that it was a bit spicy, and there was no soup on the table, so he could only rely on rice to suppress it.

When Director Liao saw it, he thought he was hungry, so he asked someone to replace him with a big bowl of noodles.

Mingtang has never died so cruelly in his life.

Compared with Qiu Shaoyang holding a palm-sized bowl, he is really too good to eat.

He looked at Qiu Shaoyang for help.

Qiu Shaoyang held back a smile to help him share a little, and stretched his neck to look around.

Zhou Lingling asked, "What is Consultant Qiu looking for?"

Qiu Shaoyang said: "The dishes are a little bit spicy. I have eaten light food abroad these years. Suddenly, I can't stand eating such spicy food. I want to find a glass of water."

"I'll get it for you." Saying that, Zhou Lingling got up to get two glasses of water, one for him and one for Mingtang.

Ming Tang hurriedly said: "Thank you Deputy Director Zhou."

"No thanks." Deputy Director Zhou smiled.

Mingtang drank two big saliva in a hurry, then he felt less choking, and cast a thankful look at Qiu Shaoyang.

It took half an hour to finish the meal, but in the past, Ming Tang could finish a meal in 5 minutes.

"Will the two of you be in Huichun City tonight? Or stay with us." Director Liao asked the two of them, so that he could make arrangements for them.

Mingtang looked at Qiu Shaoyang and asked for his opinion.

Qiu Shaoyang said: "I'm staying here for the night. It takes two hours to drive back and forth, and it's troublesome to run around. We will go shopping in the city later, and I have to trouble Director Liao to give us a map of the town back then. We want to go around on the ground."

"Yo, that place has now been pushed and built into a residential area."

Qiu Shaoyang said: "It doesn't matter, let's take a look at it casually, and treat it as digestion after a meal."

"Alright then, I'll have someone prepare it for you later."

Qiu Shaoyang originally wanted to find a hotel to stay in, but Director Liao was too enthusiastic and insisted on arranging accommodation for them, so Qiu Shaoyang and Mingtang lived in the guest house next to the City Bureau.

The appearance of the guest house seems to be quite old, at most it is at the level of a three-star express hotel. The rooms are not big, but they are fairly tidy. Considering that it is public expense, Qiu Shaoyang and Mingtang chose a double room, which is also convenient for two people to discuss the case. .

When I was a policeman, sometimes I didn’t even have a hostel to live in when I was handling cases in a township. I either lived in the car or stayed at other policemen’s homes for a night. Now I have a three-star guesthouse. , You can still take a bath, Qiu Shaoyang is quite satisfied.

On the other hand, Mingtang looked inside and out of the house, and looked at Qiu Shaoyang, "Why don't I live here and give you a slightly higher-end room."

He is a person who still lives in the police dormitory. The environment is not known to be much better than the police dormitory, but he is worried that Qiu Shaoyang is not used to living in it.

"The most high-end ones here are not that high-end. You might as well go out and buy me a 20-bed silk quilt to spread on the bed."

Mingtang: "..."

"I'm not as precious as you think." Qiu Shaoyang said: "My family has a lot of money, and I'm indeed a rich prince, but that doesn't mean I can't suffer. To me, how deep is the misunderstanding."

"That's not really..." Mingtang defended habitually, but he found that he really had nothing to justify. In his eyes, Qiu Shaoyang was a golden lump that needed to be held with both hands. It hurts.

Qiu Shaoyang asked, "Which one do you sleep in?"

Ming Tang awkwardly said: "It's all fine."

Qiu Shaoyang lay down on the bed closest to him, touched a pillow from behind, hugged him in his arms and said, "Little brother, brother, I was the first in every subject in the police academy back then, don't think that brother is like Duo Jiaohua .”

What Qiu Shaoyang said made Mingtang's face look a little warm. What Qiu Shaoyang said was true, and Qiu Shaoyang was indeed much older than him.

Lu Changfeng is also older than him, but Lu Changfeng never calls himself an elder brother.This was the first time someone claimed to be his brother in front of him, and he didn't know how to react for a while.

It was also the first time for Qiu Shaoyang to see a 1.9-meter-long man with red ears in front of him, so he stopped teasing him, "I'll buy some clothes when I go out later, I don't know if I'll stay here for a few days Woolen cloth."

"Tomorrow Monday, can you not go back to the company?" Ming Tang asked.

Qiu Shaoyang kicked off his shoes, put another pillow on his back, leaned against the head of the bed and said, "I'm not the only one in charge of the company, there's nothing I can't do without me."

"Just don't delay your work."

Ming Tang sat on the bed, flipping through his notebook.

Qiu Shaoyang propped his head on one hand and looked at his serious appearance, thinking of his former self.

"Look what I do."

Qiu Shaoyang said: "I see that you are very serious. I think it is very good. If every policeman can be as serious as you, then there will be many fewer unsolved cases in this world."

"Don't say that." Ming Tang said, "I was only doing what I was supposed to do. Every policeman has this respect for this profession."

"Do you believe what you say?" Qiu Shaoyang smiled, and he didn't want to argue with him. The police is also a profession, and there will be his professional rules. A policeman who works hard will fish in troubled waters.

Not every policeman can be like Mingtang, who can put all his mind on the case, and Qiu Shaoyang can't selfishly ask every policeman to have the same standard as Mingtang, everyone's starting point is different.

Therefore, a rare police officer like Mingtang is even more rare to recruit.

Ming Tang said, "It's not easy being a policeman."

"I know."

At this time, their door rang, Mingtang got out of bed to open the door, and there was a little policeman standing outside the door.

"Captain Ming, this is the topographic map you want from 30 years ago. Do you need anything else? Just tell me if you need it, and I will prepare it for you."

Mingtang took the topographic map and thanked him, "No need, this is enough."

After closing the door, Mingtang unfolded the topographic map, Qiu Shaoyang changed his face and patted the empty space in front of him, "Put it down, let's take a look together."

Mingtang sat on the floor, he was tall and his position was just right.Qiu Shaoyang lay on the bed, propping his head.

To say that they are also very careful, they prepared a map of the year and a map of the present for them, worrying that they could not find the location, they specially marked the corresponding location for them.

The original slaughterhouse is now a residential area, and the original location of the victim's house is also marked on the map, and the straight-line distance is about one kilometer.The main reason is that the location of the slaughterhouse is on the edge of the town, and the location where the victim's family lives is also at the very edge, and there are no other people living nearby. This is to create a natural environment for the murderer.

Qiu Shaoyang said: "I still stick to my original point of view. The murderer cut up the victim's family just to vent his anger."

Mingtang nodded.

"Don't you think that this case is full of loopholes?" Qiu Shaoyang asked.

Qiu Shaoyang pointed to the map, "There is no dispute that the murderer was a premeditated murder."

Mingtang rested his head on his left hand, and rubbed the index finger and thumb of his right hand nonchalantly, "The distance from the victim's home to the slaughterhouse is one kilometer in diameter. According to the interview and investigation of the surrounding people at that time, they did not hear any strange sounds that night. It also said that there were no traces of cars or other auxiliary tools, so it can be inferred that the blood-stained sheets found at the scene were used by the murderer to wrap the victim's body. The victim's family was divided into 76 pieces, large and small, A total of 300 kilograms of weight is required, even for my body, it is difficult to carry 300 kilograms of broken corpses on foot for 1.5 kilometers."

After Ming Tang finished speaking a long list, he raised his head originally to ask Qiu Shaoyang's opinion, but suddenly met such an ambiguous gaze, and froze in place for a moment.

"What are you looking at······"

Qiu Shaoyang blinked his affectionate eyes twice and said, "I appreciate you."

Ming Tang thought in his heart: It is absolutely unnecessary.

But he said, "There's nothing to admire."

However, he didn't dare to meet Qiu Shaoyang's gaze.

Qiu Shaoyang said: "You are indeed capable of securing the position of Captain of the Serious Case Brigade, and you are more clever than I imagined."

Ming Tang was embarrassed by the praise.

Qiu Shaoyang said: "In this respect, you are also very talented."

"But it's still far behind you. You can always catch clues keenly."

Qiu Shaoyang shook his head: "It's not forever, I also have cases that I can't solve."

Mingtang said: "I've never met anyone smarter than you. When others think of 1, you've already thought of 3. I probably won't be able to catch up with you in my life."

"You don't need to chase me, just be yourself and follow your own rhythm." Qiu Shaoyang said: "Our starting point and height are different, and we are destined to be unable to be on the same level, but your level is far beyond other People. There is only one Einstein, but hard work can have many. I seldom praise others, but you are really outstanding. I just need to give you a point and you can understand what I mean immediately. For 31 years, you It's the first one. Mingtang, you are special, at least to me, you are. Therefore, don't belittle yourself, and don't compare yourself with me."

"Try your best and strive to be the best. This is the word given to me by one of my mentors, and now I send it to you."

Ming Tang was very moved, he always felt that he had many shortcomings.Before he met Qiu Shaoyang again, the other party was always standing on the top of the pyramid in his heart, but now, Qiu Shaoyang seemed to be standing beside him, accompanying him towards the top of the pyramid.

"Thank you."

Qiu Shaoyang smiled slightly, "You deserve it."

Qiu Shaoyang leaned back on the bed, put a pillow under his head, lay on his side and looked at Mingtang and said, "There is no means of transportation, and the murderer can only rely on manpower to transport the corpse to the slaughterhouse, and it is difficult even for you to carry it." The [-]-jin corpse was walked for one kilometer, which means that the murderer either traveled between the crime scene and the corpse dumping scene many times, or he had accomplices. Which one do you prefer?"

"I'm more inclined to the latter." Ming Tang said.

"why?"

"I think it's very difficult for one person to complete such a complicated murder plan." Intuition is such a wicked thing sometimes.

"I think the same as you." Qiu Shaoyang said, "If the murderer is one person, then the case is too seamless. How can the murderer ensure that the back door must be unblocked? How can the murderer ensure that the uncle who guards the door will not wake up and find out? His behavior? But if there are many people cooperating, it will be easy to explain. We all testify together and prove to each other that it is not easy to be discovered, so everyone has an alibi."

"It's kind of like Murder on the Orient Express."

Qiu Shaoyang smiled, "I have this feeling, which can also explain why none of the 317 people under investigation fit my profile of the murderer."

"If this is really the case, then we will hardly seek justice for the victim." Ming Tang sighed, unless they can produce substantial evidence.But 30 years have passed, and many evidences have long since disappeared. 30 years ago they escaped the sanction of the law, 30 years later they will not be so stupid as to send them to your door.

But in the final analysis, all of this is just their speculation. Maybe the murderer really has such good luck. No one dares to make a conclusion until the end of this matter.

Qiu Shaoyang thought of Yu Zhixuan's determined eyes at that time, and it was almost impossible for Yu Zhixuan to identify the murderer back then.

You can't hypnotize Yu Zhixuan, induce a confession, or make a false confession.

There is a sense of powerlessness that the murderer is right in front of your eyes, but you just have nothing to do with him.

Unless they find the most direct evidence, the case may remain unsolved.

He didn't discover any clues about what happened to his uncle back then.

Mingtang has also been thinking about what they have missed.

Who is the person Yu Zhixuan is unwilling to confess?

Mingtang's cell phone rang at this moment, and the caller ID was Liao Hanqi, and Mingtang opened the call.

"Mingtang, the person you want to investigate has a clue."

"So fast." Ming Tang was a little surprised, it's only been a few hours.

Liao Hanqi smiled and asked, "Would you like to come to the bureau?"

"We're coming over here."
