Wrongful Death Criminal Investigation

The two left with Zheng Wen's notebook, Zheng Wen sent them to the stairs, and saluted them with a standard salute.

Qiu Shaoyang stood still with Mingtang, and saluted him back.

Qiu Shaoyang has not saluted for eight years, and his movements are still standard.

"Old Zheng, take care of your health, we will leave first."

After speaking, Mingtang and Qiu Shaoyang went downstairs together.

Mingtang and Qiu Shaoyang always kept a distance of half a body, "Are you going to visit the next one directly or go back to the guest house?"

Qiu Shaoyang said without hesitation: "Go back to the guest house, I want to read Zheng Lao's notes from beginning to end first, and then make the next arrangement."

Ming Tang didn't say anything more, the two walked out of the residential area where Zheng Wen lived, the car parked across the road, Ming Tang pressed the car key to unlock it, and walked across the road with Qiu Shaoyang.

As soon as they reached the middle of the road, a roar came to their ears.

Before Qiu Shaoyang had time to find the source of the sound, he had already crashed into the arms of an explanation.

It was Mingtang who dragged him into his arms, and Mingtang's clothes smelled like tobacco.

At that moment just now, Qiu Shaoyang only felt a strong wind blowing past his waist. He looked in that direction and could only see a car and motorcycle flying towards the other end of the street at super fast speed.

Mingtang let go of Qiu Shaoyang, and asked with concern, "Did I bump into you?"

Qiu Shaoyang shook his head, still a little scared, but what would happen if the car hit him: "I'm fine, thanks to you just now."

"It's good that people are fine, I'm scared to death." Mingtang took out his mobile phone and quickly called the police: "Hey, command center, I'm at the entrance of Tongfu Community on Yanhe West Street, and there is a person riding a motorcycle speeding from west to east Driving, not wearing a helmet, almost hit a pedestrian, please call the police quickly."

Mingtang looked at the gradually shrinking figure and flew out in a whimper. The motorcycle hit the ground and spiraled forward, and then hit a tree by the street, and the people on the car were hung on the branches.

Mingtang: "..."

Qiu Shaoyang: "..."

Ming Tang turned to the phone and said, "He was in a car accident last second, call an ambulance."

After finishing speaking, Mingtang hung up the phone and looked at Qiu Shaoyang: "Want to come with me?"

Qiu Shaoyang looked at the person hanging on the tree. At the speed at that time, if Qiu Shaoyang was knocked out, he would have a concussion if he was knocked out, otherwise he would not have hung himself up to four or five meters up high branches.

After Mingtang asked, he ran towards the scene of the car accident, followed by Qiu Shaoyang.

This is a downhill road, there are many speed bumps on the road, the speed is probably too fast, the speed bumps directly bounced him away, and the scene that Mingtang saw him being directly hung on the tree appeared.

Ming Tang walked in and took a look, there was no blood on the ground, and no obvious scratches on his body, it should have just been hung on a tree.

The man waved to Mingtang and Qiu Shaoyang: "Brother, help me."

Mingtang sneered, "Aren't you quite capable? If you have the ability to get down by yourself."

"Don't, brother, help me, I'll give you money."

Mingtang asked: "How much?"

The man said: "500."

Mingtang said with disgust: "I'm sorry, there is no shortage, I'll spend 5000, let you hang on it for a day, how about it."

"Fuck you, don't go too far!"

Mingtang snorted coldly, "Am I going too far? Then you almost bumped into my person just now, so you are not going too far? Since you are in such a hurry to die, why should I save you?"

Qiu Shaoyang was shocked by Mingtang's sudden words of "I am someone", but he also observed the young man hanging on the tree. Not only was he not afraid at all when hanging so high, he even showed a very exciting feeling, a little abnormally excited, Qiu Shaoyang walked up to Mingtang and said, "I suspect he is taking drugs."

Mingtang, who has been working as an anti-drug policeman for several years, knew this kid immediately when he saw him. He nodded to Qiu Shaoyang and confirmed his thoughts. Mingtang walked around the young man and asked, "Do you know me?" What is it for?"

"I don't care what you do, you put me down quickly, or I won't kill you when I get down." The man on the tree spoke boldly, without feeling that his current situation was very dangerous.

Mingtang smiled, walked towards the slope directly in front of the person on the tree, and stepped back a few steps to ensure that the person could see him clearly. He took out his police ID card, "Police, I am now There is reason to suspect that you are taking drugs."

"I didn't take drugs!" The man on the tree retorted fiercely, but now he was hanging on the tree, and his movements were very restricted.

"what colour?"

"White."

Mingtang let out a heck, "You, hang around and wait for the police to come."

It was also the first time Qiu Shaoyang saw such a bright hall.

Zeyang City is not big in the first place, and there happened to be a community police station nearby, so people came very quickly.

The two policemen came up from the bottom of the slope. When they saw a person hanging from a tree branch on the slope, they were completely dumbfounded.

Ming Tang gave the two policemen a vivid description of the whole process of how he was hung up.

The two policemen couldn't hold back their laughter after hearing this.

They are professionals and generally don't smile unless they can't hold back.

This is the first time someone has hung on a branch.

"Smiling fart, hurry up and help me down, believe it or not, I will look at your heads and kick them like a ball."

"Pfft—" Qiu Shaoyang was overwhelmed by his words.

As the man gradually came up, the style of painting gradually went astray.

"Bold and unreasonable, why don't you kneel when you see me!" The man pointed at one of the smiling policemen who were leaning back and forth, with a very fierce tone, "How dare you laugh at me! Come on, let me drag him out and cut him off!"

Then he named the rest of them one by one, "And you, troublemakers, are all troublemakers, all of them will be beheaded."

Mingtang kindly reminded, "The Qing Dynasty has been dead for more than 100 years!"

"Nonsense, you've only been dead for more than 100 years, come here, why don't you come here, drag this rambunctious troublemaker out and behead him!"

Qiu Shaoyang and Mingtang looked at each other.

Since he was four or five meters above the ground, the police had no choice but to drag him down directly, so they called the firefighters and asked them to come and help.

And they are one, and they listened to a piece of stand-up comedy for free below.

Just now I kept saying that I called myself, but now I have made a 180-degree turn.

First, he performed a recitation of the text for them, and then sang after reciting it, and then began to tell them jokes, until the firefighters rescued him from the tree, he had already changed four jokes.

Two firefighters used ladders and mats to get him down from the tree, and he hugged one of the firemen's arms along the way: "Don't go, don't go, you saved my family, I have nothing in return, and I am willing to show you my body." May."

The little brother of the firefighter looked as if he had eaten a rotten egg, and pushed him away in disgust.

Two policemen went up to restrain him, one on the left and the other on the right, and prepared to take him back to the city bureau, but his act of being a monster has not stopped. Give this slave a chance and let this slave serve you."

The other firefighter brother was already out of breath.

"Xiao Wu, in my opinion, you just follow him." The firefighter who collected the equipment joked with a smile: "Hahahaha."

"Get out." The firefighter named Xiao Wu blushed from their little ones, stuck into the fire truck and never came out again.

The man was still shouting, "My lord, my lord, don't sell this slave."

Qiu Shaoyang was already laughing to the ground, Mingtang was not much better, and today's source of happiness is there.

The person was taken away by the police, and the firefighters also withdrew. Qiu Shaoyang and Mingtang walked back slowly.

Qiu Shaoyang was still reminiscing about the scene just now, "Are all the ones who got high like him?"

Mingtang said with a smile: "He can only be regarded as an entry-level person. There are many more exaggerated than him, imagining himself as Jesus, who is here to save all living beings. The anthropomorphic ones are fine, and there are also those who bark like dogs and crow like chickens. Yes, meowing like a cat. I’ve seen someone who insisted on stripping the police, and two or three policemen couldn’t hold him down, so they had to be sedated.”

"Hahaha." Qiu Shaoyang laughed until his stomach ached.

"If you take hallucinogenic drugs, the situation will be even more serious." Mingtang dragged him to the sidewalk, telling him an interesting story that happened when he was in the anti-drug detachment, "We went to the KTV for a surprise inspection at night, and encountered a The room was poisoned with hallucinogenic drugs, and the group of demons danced around. In their eyes, we outsiders all turned into toads, and they communicated with us all the time."

"There is also a ghost. After taking the medicine, I have hallucinations, and everything I see is ghosts."

Qiu Shaoyang sighed sincerely, "It's not easy for the anti-drug police. They have to greet such a group of people every day."

Mingtang said: "I really didn't get used to it at first, but after a long time, I became immune."

The two got into the car, and twenty or ten minutes had passed. Ming Tang glanced at the time, and it was past eleven o'clock, and it was almost time for lunch. Ming Tang asked, "What are you having for lunch?"

Qiu Shaoyang thought for a while and said, "Find a restaurant and eat whatever you want. I'm not very hungry right now."

"I'm not hungry yet, let's go back to the guest house first, how about ordering takeaway when I get hungry later?"

Qiu Shaoyang accepted the proposal.

Back at the guest house, the two of them sat on the floor and began to look through Mr. Zheng Wen's notebook.

The main reason is that the environment of this hostel is not good. There is not even a table in the room, and the two of them can only use the bed as a table.

The first few pages of Zheng Wen's notebook basically recorded content related to the scene.From these few pages of records, it can be seen that Zheng Wen is really a layman in the face of criminal investigation.

Starting from the seventh page, it is the people he visited and investigated.

The two read the notes carefully, for fear that they would miss the key point due to negligence.

Zheng Wen interviewed a total of more than 200 people. Almost all of these people were residents near the scene of the crime. He asked a simple question, but someone did mention that they saw Zhao Wan appearing on the night of the crime. the victim's home.

But he drank too much alcohol at the time, and he was a little unconscious, and he was not sure whether he had misread it or it really appeared.

Hearing that Zhao Wan was in the city that night, he didn't dare to speak out what he had no evidence for, so he didn't tell the police at all during the police investigation.

According to the records, this person was called Gao Xiaoguang, and Mingtang immediately asked Director Liao to check all the information on this person named Gao Xiaoguang for him.

Among them, a man named Liang Zhu mentioned it to Zheng Wen, saying that he saw Wei Hai entering Zhang Yi'an's house on the day of the crime.

At that time, Wei Hai's wife and children were living in the city, so he would go back to the city to be with his family on Saturdays and weekends, and live in the town the rest of the time.

This point did not appear in Zhao Tongfeng's case file.

There was nothing worth noting about the other people's answers, but looking back, Qiu Shaoyang and Mingtang were both surprised.

Judging from the degree of smudging in the two parts, there should be a long period of time between the analysis of the case and the previous analysis, which can be regarded as a piece of Zheng Wen's diary.

-

The time was in the winter of 1996. It was snowing lightly that day. Someone in the town invited someone to dinner for their birthday. Zheng Wenhe and the birthday person were distant relatives. They often played together when they were young. This face should be given, so he went.

Almost all the people at the birthday party left that night, and the rest of them had grown up playing games since they were young. Everyone used to work in Zhang Yi'an's slaughterhouse. Close to home, since Zhang Yi'an died, the slaughterhouse closed down and they lost their jobs, so they can only go out to work separately, sometimes they don't see each other once a year, and they never get together.

Someone asked about the follow-up of the year, so they naturally talked about Wei Hai.

"Let me tell you something that none of you know." One of the men said mysteriously, his name was He Xian.

"What?" The others looked at him expectantly.

He Xian said: "One night I went to my third uncle's house for dinner, and when I came home late, when I passed by Wei Hai's house, I saw Wei Hai and Zhao Wan making out."

"Huh?" Everyone else was surprised.

He Xian seemed to have predicted their reaction, "I knew you would have this expression, but I really didn't lie, the two of them definitely have an affair."

In order to deepen the credibility, He Xian added: "When I was shopping in the city, I also saw them shopping together several times."

"No way, isn't Wei Hai his wife and child?"

The other said, "You don't understand this, it's unbearable to be lonely, Zhao Wan's looks and figure are absolutely amazing, when Zhao Wan was still working as a financial manager in the factory, didn't she often get close to Wei Hai?" ? It is said that the two of them knew each other a long time ago, whether they were classmates in elementary school or junior high school. Rumors about the two of them have been spread in the factory for a long time, and Zhang Yilian is disabled again, so he can't satisfy her."

"So she is such a woman." Others sighed.

"I actually have a pretty good impression of her. Sure enough, people can't be judged by appearances, and seas can't be measured."

-

Qiu Shaoyang and Mingtang looked at each other. Isn't the amount of information in this diary a bit too much?

Zhao Wan and Wei Hai had an affair.

Wei Hai appeared at Zhang Yi'an's house that afternoon, and Zhao Wan appeared at Zhang Yi'an's house that night.

Zheng Wen's suspicion of Zhao Wan, and Qiu Shaoyang's own profile of the murderer, Zhao Wan is very suspicious.

Qiu Shaoyang felt that there were a lot of doubts about Zhao Wan, "I think we need to check the alibi of Zhao Wan and Wei Hai again."

Mingtang agrees with Qiu Shaoyang's idea very much.

Soon they received two messages, one was from Bureau Liao, Gao Xiaoguang had passed away the year before last.The other one was sent by Chen Yanjia, which was the alibi of Wei Hai and Zhao Wan.

Wei Hai's alibi was very simple, saying that he was at home in the city that night, because he and his wife divorced, so no one could prove it, but because he had no motive for killing, he was excluded.

Zhao Wan's alibi that night was jointly provided by his department head and other department staff.

Qiu Shaoyang decided to visit the people on the list and talk to them about Zhao Wan.

Now the main direction is Zhao Wan and Wei Hai. Wei Hai's alibi is not valid. In comparison, Zhao Wan has much more doubts.

Two of the people who provided Zhao Wan's alibi back then have passed away, and the other two live in the urban area of ​​Shicheng City. Qiu Shaoyang and Mingtang decided to use the afternoon to visit them and see Can you find any clues.

After retreating from the guest house, the two said goodbye to Director Liao and went straight to Shicheng.

Shicheng Mingtang is very familiar with it.

The person they visited first was Li Sisi, 64 years old and in good health.He lived in the old residential area in the east of the city. Qiu Shaoyang and Mingtang stood outside the door. After confirming the address, they knocked on the door of their house.

After a while, the door opened a crack, and it was opened by a young girl. The other party saw two big men standing outside the door, and asked cautiously, "Who are you looking for?"

Qiu Shaoyang smiled politely, "Hello, kid, we are from the Spring City Public Security Bureau. Is this Li Sisi's home?"

The little girl looked the two of them up and down, and after confirming that they were not bad people, she opened the door.

Mingtang is still reminiscing about the words of being Qiu Shaoyang. "We are from the Spring City Public Security Bureau." He said it so smoothly.

"My grandma is still sleeping, I'll call her for you." The little girl turned and walked towards the bedroom.

It's also because they didn't look carefully when choosing the time, and chose the time for a nap at noon to come to the door.

The two were in the living room for about 2 minutes, and an old man with gray hair walked out of the bedroom.

Qiu Shaoyang and Mingtang stood up, and the old man looked at the two of them, "What do you want from me?"

Mingtang directly showed his police officer ID, "I am from the Criminal Investigation Detachment of Chuncheng City Bureau. I came to you this time to learn about your colleague Zhao Wan 30 years ago."

"30 years ago?" The old man looked at the two in confusion.

Seeing that Li Sisi didn't seem to have much memory, Ming Tang dug out the photo of Zhao Wan in his phone and handed it to her, "This is the person, grandma, see if you still have any memory."

Li Sisi took the phone and looked at it carefully from a distance. The expression on his face gradually changed from blank to clear, "I have an impression, but it's very vague."

"It's like this. You helped her make an alibi 30 years ago, so we want to ask you to verify the authenticity of her alibi." Qiu Shaoyang said. The old man could hear clearly.

Li Sisi sighed, and said to the two, "30 years ago was really too long, I can hardly remember those things. Including the photo you gave me, I can only say that it looks familiar. Guy can't figure it out."

Leaving Li Sisi's house, Qiu Shaoyang and Mingtang both sighed.

I just hope that the other one won't be like Li Sisi, who doesn't know or remember anything, then the case will fall into a passive position.

The person they are looking for is Yang Qingqing, who is 56 years old and much younger than Li Sisi.

When seeing this Yang Qingqing, Qiu Shaoyang and Mingtang both breathed a sigh of relief.

She was about to turn 60, but she looked like she was in her 40s. She was very enthusiastic about them. Hearing that they were here to investigate Zhao Wan back then, she also cooperated very well and took the initiative to tell the police what she knew.

"In my memory, Zhao Wan is a very powerful woman. She has a ruthless style and is beautiful. There are many men in our factory who want to chase her, but her private life should be quite chaotic. I have seen her more than once. Seeing that he was dating different men, and there were rumors that she was the young lover of our company's senior management."

Qiu Shaoyang and Mingtang glanced at each other, and they both saw disbelief in each other's eyes, "Then can you still remember what she did on the day you gave her the alibi? She was there the whole time. Is it in your sight?"

"Oh, comrade policeman, if I say I'm not here, did I make a false certificate? Is it against the law?" Yang Qingqing worried.

From her reaction, Qiu Shaoyang and Mingtang saw that she should have clues.Mingtang replied: "No, as long as it's not deliberately concealed, it doesn't count."

"That's absolutely not." Yang Qingqing said quickly, heaving a sigh of relief, "Well, I also remembered it after the fact. In this life, I did such a thing that made me feel guilty, but I was really scared at the time, and I didn't feel guilty. Dare to speak to the police.”

As a result, 30 years have passed since she concealed it. She is almost 60 years old, and she has few years to live. There are still people who look up what happened back then. She thought that she would never have a chance to tell it in her life.

Mingtang comforted: "It's okay, just tell us what you know now."

"We were both on the night shift at the time. I did see her when I was at work, but we were in different areas. I remember that I clocked in with her on the night shift, and clocked in with her after work." Yang Qingqing recalled: "But During the few hours in between, I really didn’t see her. That night my child was sick and wanted to ask her to help me and look at the area I was in charge of, but I couldn’t find anyone. Later, I asked other people to help. At that time, I called her She didn't answer the phone, and then she called me back at dawn and said her phone was in the locker."

"Then why do you feel that something is wrong?" Mingtang asked.

Yang Qingqing said: "But when I was in the workshop, I saw that she had called people on her mobile phone. Later, I also asked people in other areas, and they said that she had never been there that night."

"When the police came to the door, I had no evidence at the time, and her clock-in and clock-in records were complete. It was hard for me to get to that position. I didn't want to not explain the situation to the police just because she offended the leader. "Yang Qingqing was a little annoyed: "But after thinking about that day carefully, something was really wrong. No one can prove that she never left the factory."

What Yang Qingqing did at the time was not incomprehensible. This clue was an important breakthrough for Qiu Shaoyang and the others.
