Detective: From the Police Academy

Chapter 338 Find Him!
Luo Rui squatted down, knelt on one knee, and looked under the bed.

All he heard was a low whimper and a pair of bright yellow, timid eyes staring at him.

At this time, Cai Xiaojing and Lin Chen came to the door.

When the two saw his actions, they were stunned.

"Be good and come to me." Luo Rui shouted under the bed.

"Woooo..."

Lin Chen also lay down and saw a half-grown yellow dog under the bed.

Luo Rui stood up and ordered, "You come and get it out."

"Me?" Lin Chen pointed at his nose.

"If it's not you, then it must be me? I have killed before, and this dog can smell my scent."

Lin Chen curled his lips and walked carefully to the end of the bed, and Cai Xiaojing followed him to the head of the bed.

After a while of teasing, the two of them finally managed to get the dog out.

Lin Chen held the little thing in her arms. The little yellow dog's eyes rolled around and he buried his head in her arms. She felt a tender feeling in her heart.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, we are the police, we won't hurt you."

Cai Xiaojing clapped her hands, looked around the room, and found many bloody footprints at the scene, but they had all been wiped.

But there was no plum blossom mark of a dog's paw.

She said: "At the time of the incident, the dog should have been hiding under the bed."

Luo Rui nodded: "Yes, it is a witness."

As soon as he finished speaking, he looked into the pool of blood. Although the traces at the scene had been cleaned up, a pair of child's footprints could still be seen leading to the door.

There were no lines on the footprints, so he must have run out barefoot.

Luo Rui pondered: "In addition to this dog, the little boy named Xin Xin should have also been hiding under the bed at the time."

He hurried downstairs and saw Han Dong already gathering police officers in the yard.

"Captain Han, was the gate locked or open at the time of the incident?"

Han Dong blinked and couldn't answer, because he had only been there for a short time and didn't know the specific situation well.

At this time, Tian Guanghan ran in from outside the door with a transcript in his hand.

After Luo Rui took it, he just glanced at it, then raised his head and said, "The person who called the police claimed that when they came here in the morning, the gate was locked from the inside. The brick factory is surrounded by walls that are nearly three meters high, and there is only one entrance and exit, the gate.

The victim, Xin Wanchun, his wife and daughter were also killed. Only his son Xin Xin is missing. I speculate that he was not kidnapped by the suspect. The little boy is still in the brick factory.

Now, all of you, search the brick factory carefully, don't leave any corner untouched!"

"Yes!" the police officers in the yard answered in unison.

Han Dong arranged: "One team will go to the kitchen, another team will go to the factory, and another team will go to the brick kiln. Search it carefully!

I tell you, this is the only child left in this family, and I must find this child no matter what!"

"Understood!" The police officers from Gaoping Branch immediately took action.

Luo Rui took Cai Xiaojing and Lin Chen with him to look for him.

The brick factory is very large and covers a lot of land, so there shouldn't be only these few workers.

Lin Chen explained: "Xin Wanchun had a big business in the past few years, but the economic situation has been bad in recent years. The city generally doesn't use red bricks now, so the bricks fired by this factory are almost all sold to private houses in towns and villages."

At present, the motive for murder in this case is still unclear. Xin Wanchun is the owner of a brick factory, so it is inevitable that he will have disputes with others. Therefore, Lin Chen immediately started to check Xin Wanchun's background information.

Luo Rui just nodded and walked quickly into the brick kiln.

It was indeed as Lin Chen said, the huge brick kilns were all cold, and there was a large area of ​​mud embryos on the construction site outside, which had long been dried by the wind.

The brick kiln was pitch black. After Luo Rui went in, the police searched inside with flashlights.

Luo Rui walked along a row of shelves, shouting as he walked, "Xin Xin, are you in there? We are police officers, you are safe. If you are hiding in there, come out quickly."

Seeing him shouting like that, Lin Chen and Cai Xiaojing also walked around, put their hands to their mouths, and shouted the child's name.

"Xinxin, don't be afraid, we are the police, you are safe."

Suddenly, there were noises coming from the brick factory.

Lin Chen was still holding the little yellow dog in her arms, and the small body was trembling slightly in her arms.

At this time, a policeman came over and shook his head at Luo Rui: "Deputy Luo, there's no one here. The child should not be here."

"Did anyone from the kiln go to look at it?"

"They have all been searched carefully."

"Search again!"

"Ok."

Luo Rui frowned and walked towards the factory where the finished products were piled up.

Lin Chen followed, and just as she stepped in, the little yellow dog in her arms started barking.

Luo Rui turned around and saw a little boy squatting and hiding in the gap between two rows of red bricks.

He was pale, folded his arms, and looked over here.

"Xiao Huang..."

Luo Rui's heart trembled, and Lin Chen also opened his eyes wide.

"Wang Wang..."

"Xiao Huang..." The boy's voice was choked with sobs. He was barefoot and his face was covered with dust.

When they suddenly saw him, not only Luo Rui and Lin Chen, but Cai Xiaojing also felt numb all over.

In this family, only this young boy is still alive. He witnessed his father, mother and sister being killed.

How cruel this is!!

Cai Xiaojing burst into tears and choked up, "Don't be afraid, kid. We are the police."

Lin Chen also wiped the tears from his cheeks and pulled at his uniform: "Xin Xin, you are safe."

When the boy saw the uniforms they were wearing, he burst into tears.

"Wow... I want my mom, I want my sister, my dad is dead, they are all dead."

"Don't be sad. Don't worry. We will definitely catch the murderer who killed them." Luo Rui promised: "Come out."

The gap was too narrow and they couldn't get in at all.

Hearing the noise, the police who were searching immediately rushed over.

Luo Rui quickly reached out to stop them.

But the boy lowered his head and just shed tears silently.

Luo Rui picked up the little yellow dog that was struggling in Lin Chen's arms, squatted down, and put the puppy on the ground.

The little yellow dog barked twice, then stepped on all fours and trotted into the gap.

The puppy came to the boy's feet and whimpered softly.

Seeing this, the boy held the puppy in his arms and put his face on its furry back.

"Xiao Huang, it's just you and me...it's just you and me...wuwu..."

……

……

Ten o'clock in the evening, in Conference Room No. 1 of the Municipal Bureau.

Whether it is the police, criminal police, forensic doctors, or the criminal police brigades from the three branches, they all gathered here.

Hundreds of people, some sitting, some standing, all with serious expressions and no words.

The case was serious, so even Tang Zhiguo, who was not in charge of criminal investigation, was present.

After he asked someone to close the door, he stood in front of the table and looked at Luo Rui: "Is the child comforted?"

Cai Xiaojing helped answer: "In the reception room, Lin Chen is with me."

"Can I ask you a question?"

Luo Rui shook his head: "He was frightened and a little unconscious. I called a doctor, and he told me to take it slow. The child's grandparents are in the countryside, and I have contacted them. My men are taking them to the funeral home to identify the body. They will probably be here in the second half of the night."

"Okay." Tang Zhiguo responded and looked at everyone: "Although this case did not turn into a family massacre, a total of five people died. This is the most tragic and cruel case among the new cases in recent years!
Without further ado, the provincial department and the city have asked us to solve the case within a time limit and bring the murderer to justice!"

Tang Zhiguo said the last sentence to Luo Rui, and everyone was looking at him. It was obvious that Luo Rui was given high hopes.

"Deadline for solving the case?" Luo Rui pondered: "How long?"

Tang Zhiguo raised three fingers: "Three days, within three days, I want the suspect's name!"

Lu Kangming on the side blinked and shouted to everyone, "Why are you still standing there? Who will tell us about the case first?"

Tian Guanghan raised his hand and said, "Let me go first. After we arrived at the scene, we immediately took statements from the three people who called the police.

The three men arrived at the brick factory one after another, within five minutes of each other.

The first person to arrive was Zhou Xiaoquan, a local, 43 years old.

Because the brick factory started work at nine o'clock, he arrived at the factory at eight fifty. Seeing that the door was not open, he shouted inside a few times, but no one answered.

After that, it was a worker of Shen Weihua, who was from another place and came on a motorcycle. Then came the distant cousin of the brick factory owner Xin Wanchun, named Xiang Qiang, 28 years old, a local, with a criminal record for theft, had been in jail, and used to be a gangster.

The three men first knocked on the door, but no one responded, so Zhou Xiaoquan and Xiang Qiang sent Shen Weihua to the wall.

The first person to see the murder scene was Shen Weihua. After he went in, he saw two dead people in the living room. He crawled to open the door of the brick factory and let his two companions in.

Hearing that someone had died inside, Zhou Xiaoquan didn't dare to go in. He only took a look at Xiang Qiang in the living room, but was also frightened. So the three of them called the police.

I checked with our technical detectives and found Shen Weihua's footprints on the wall near the gate. In addition, there were also his and Xiang Qiang's footprints in the living room, which is exactly the same as what they said."

Kang Bolin asked: "Who called the police?" "The one who called the police was Shen Weihua."

"Bring up Xiang Qiang's identity information." Kang Bolin instructed a logistics police officer. Obviously, Xiang Qiang, who had a criminal record, was the focus of his attention.

Luo Rui said: "Old Tian, ​​please continue."

"it is good."

Tian Guanghan licked his fingers, turned a page of the transcript in his hand, and continued: "There were five workers in the brick factory, plus the victim and the victim's family, a total of nine people.

The first day, we got off work at nine o'clock in the evening.

Shen Weihua and Zhou Xiaoquan had dinner and were the first to leave at 9:30. They said that before they left, there was nothing unusual in the brick factory, and the proprietress Zou Fang even gave each of them a bag of fruit.

Next was Xiang Qiang. He left at ten o'clock, had dinner and watched TV for a while, then rode his bike back to his residence.

Xiang Qiang was a little dishonest, and his statement was somewhat different from that of the other two people who called the police.

For example, both Shen Weihua and Zhou Xiaoquan said that Xin Wanchun and Zou Fang were very nice people, and they never withheld their wages and often gave them benefits. Even if there was an emergency at home and they needed money, Xin Wanchun would give them an advance on their wages.

But Xiang Qiang thought that Xin Wanchun was very stingy and was very strict with him, especially the boss's wife Zou Fang, who was never in a good mood towards him on weekdays.

Moreover, because Xiang Qiang had committed a crime, was married, had children, and his family conditions were not very good, Xin Wanchun only gave him a quarter of his salary every month, and the rest was transferred to his wife's card on a monthly basis. Therefore, Xiang Qiang had a lot of complaints about Xin Wanchun and Zou Fang. "

At this point, Luo Rui asked, "Did Xiang Qiang say this himself?"

Tian Guanghan shook his head: "This is the transcript of Zhou Xiaoquan and Shen Weihua. Xiang Qiang himself did not say this."

Thinking of this, Luo Rui pondered: "Xiang Qiang has no comments on Xin Wanchun's family?"

Tian Guanghan quickly took the transcript from Yang Bo and read several pages in a row. He replied, "No, he just talked about what he saw at the crime scene this morning. He didn't mention anything else."

Then, Luo Rui looked at Tian Jing: "Director Tian, ​​can the time of death be determined?"

As a forensic doctor, Tian Jing usually strives for perfection and doesn't speak easily, but at this moment, she doesn't dare to do so.

A total of five people died, and their deaths were horrific. If she still maintained the rigorous spirit of a forensic doctor, her leader would scold her.

Tian Jing sighed: "The first to be killed were the three people downstairs. Xin Wanchun and his worker died in the living room, and the worker's wife died in the kitchen. All three were hacked to death, and there were also signs of a struggle. As for the time of death, it is initially determined to be between midnight and 2 a.m. yesterday.

The two female victims upstairs were also killed at the same time, within 15 minutes of each other.

Tang Zhiguo asked: "What did the crime tool look like?"

Lu Kangming said: "There are signs of rummaging in the house, could it be a robbery?"

Luo Rui also spoke at the same time: "Old Tian, ​​these three..."

Seeing this, Tang Zhiguo and Lu Kangming quickly shut up, raised their hands and gave the initiative to Luo Rui.

"Old Tian, ​​have you asked for the alibis of the three people who called the police the night before?"

"We did ask. Zhou Xiaoquan's wife works in the factory area, and he lives with his wife and daughter. We went to visit him this afternoon, and his family members testified that Zhou Xiaoquan was at home from late last night to the next morning, and did not go anywhere.

We found no evidence of lying by the family.

In addition, Shen Weihua is from another place and has a girlfriend, but his girlfriend works the night shift and cannot testify for him.

However, Shen Weihua lives in an apartment building. We checked the surveillance footage and found that he did not go out again after returning home.

As for Xiang Qiang, this guy left the brick factory at ten o'clock and rode his bicycle to the food stall to drink with friends, but he left at twelve o'clock in the evening.

He said that after that, he returned to his rental house, but there was no surveillance in the rental house, and he lived alone in a single room, so we are currently unable to confirm his confession. "

Kang Bolin couldn't help but ask: "Old Tian, ​​when you asked Xiang Qiang to take his statement, how did he behave?"

Tian Guanghan shook his head: "Chu Yang took his notes, I just reported."

Chu Yang immediately stood up and replied, "Captain Kang, Su Mingyuan and I collected Xiang Qiang's statement. We both agree that Xiang Qiang showed signs of lying and must have concealed something."

"Where is he now?"

"All three are in the interrogation room."

Tang Zhiguo quickly instructed the police officer beside him: "I will issue a subpoena. Take Xiang Qiang to the interrogation room first and leave him alone for a few hours. Later, Luo Rui, you will interrogate him!"

"Okay." Luo Rui agreed.

Then, Tang Zhiguo looked at the trace inspection department.

"Tell me, what is the situation like on the scene?"

The head of the technical department stood up and said, "Time is tight and the situation is complicated. My people are still working overtime to investigate. I can only provide the following information now.

First, the building in front of the brick factory, which is the crime scene, is not only where Xin Wanchun’s family lives, but the first floor is also where the workers eat and move around.

We collected footprints of many people on the first floor. After comparison, we found that in addition to the workers in the brick factory, there were also several groups of footprints, hair and fingerprints of strangers.

As for how many people there are in total, I can’t be sure now.

Second, we collected a lot of footprints on the floor in the corridor leading to the second floor and in the living room on the second floor. Among them were Xin Wanchun’s family, the female victim who was killed in the kitchen, Xiang Qiang mentioned earlier, and several groups of strangers.

Third, the rooms on the second floor, especially the bedroom where Xin Wanchun and his wife lived, were searched by the suspect, and Xin Wanchun’s backpack, suitcase, wardrobe, drawers, etc. were all opened.

Xin Wanchun's wallet, bank card, and his wife Zou Fang's wallet and jewelry were not found. These items are the most common and it is speculated that they were taken away by the suspect.

Fourth, the crime scene had been cleaned up, and the suspect had a certain degree of anti-detection capability, because the victim Xin Wanchun's bedroom should be the "cleanest" scene, but no fingerprints or hair of the suspect were found in the wardrobe, drawers, etc. "

Kang Bolin frowned: "So you mean that we can't find the suspect through physical evidence?"

The other party said in embarrassment: "Captain Kang, I didn't say that firmly, but I'm not so absolute either. Our technical department needs time. Even for the footprints, we need time to compare.

By the way, speaking of this, I can give you two pieces of information. "

Kang Bolin hurriedly said: "Please go ahead."

"It's like this. We found a bottle of leftover liquor in Xin Wanchun's cabinet. This bottle was placed on the outside. We extracted two people's fingerprints from the bottle."

Luo Rui asked, "You mean, Xin Wanchun entertained people with drinks the night before the incident?"

"It is still unclear who left these two fingerprints. As for when the alcohol was consumed, I don't know either. I'll have to rely on you to investigate.

The second piece of information is that we found two footprints on the wall behind the brick factory, which may belong to the suspect. "

"Okay, please compare these two footprints first."

Then, Luo Rui continued: "I checked the scene in the bedroom on the second floor. In addition to taking away the victim's belongings, the suspect also took away something else."

The technical director asked, “What is it?”

After all, this was the scene he was investigating, and he didn't feel like he had missed anything.

"The victim, Zou Fang, was killed together with her daughter, Xin Xiaoju. Xin Xiaoju was violated by the suspect. Her clothes were all in the bedroom, but Zou Fang's top was missing. It must have been taken away by the suspect."

Kang Bolin frowned and asked, "Why take this away?"

Luo Rui waited for the technical director to speak. The other party thought about it and nodded quickly: "This is my oversight..."

Tian Jing continued, "Just as Deputy Branch Luo said, all of the victim Xin Xiaoju's clothes are there, and they were torn by the suspect. These things are in our forensic department. But the victim Zou Fang's top is definitely not found."

"In addition, no fingerprints or hair were found on Zou Fang and Xin Xiaoju's bodies, and no vaginal discharge was found either. However, we have conducted a preliminary inspection of Xin Xiaoju's body and found that she had indeed been violated and had lacerations.

The suspect should have used a rain shelter when committing the crime.

In addition, some clothing fibers remained in Xin Xiaoju's nails during her struggle, and our laboratory is currently testing the material of these fibers.

So, Deputy Commander Luo, when you arrest a suspect, it is best to find out what clothes he was wearing at the time. This is one of the evidences related to conviction. "

"I see. Director Tian, ​​have you come to a conclusion about the murder weapon?"

Tian Jing stood up, connected her laptop to the projector, and projected the wounds on the five victims onto the big screen.

Luo Rui looked at it for a long time, then began to reconstruct the crime scene.

“The first people to be killed were Xin Wanchun and a worker named Yong Jian.

Xin Wanchun was stabbed in the chest with a wound about ten centimeters long. Next was Yong Jian, who was stabbed on the left forearm. Judging from the direction of the knife, the murderer had his back to the door and was facing Xin Wanchun and the other man head on.

Xin Wanchun had no defensive injuries. It should be that the murderer attacked him unexpectedly. After knocking him down, the murderer used the knife to chop at Yong Jian, who blocked it with his left arm. You can see the wound on his left side, and his bones were broken.

This shows that the murderer was extremely ruthless and did not hold back at all.

Then, the murderer continued to swing the knife, and this time the knife hit the right side of Yong Jian's head, near the temple.

Yong Jian fell to the ground and later died.

At this time, Xin Wanchun was still alive, and the blood under his body showed signs of dragging backwards, so he must have been crawling while injured.

But the murderer did not let him go and stabbed him in the neck.

After killing the two men, the murderer ran straight to the kitchen next door, with blood dripping from the knife..."

"Everyone has been to the scene. The kitchen of the brick factory was built separately, right next to the residential building. However, the murderer went out of the living room and then walked to the kitchen next door.

The door leading to the kitchen at the innermost part of the living room is very small and is a metal door. The murderer went to the kitchen from here. Does this mean that the murderer is very familiar with the environment of the brick factory?

Furthermore, if the female victim who died in the kitchen was not present when the murderer committed the crime, how did the murderer know that there was someone in the kitchen?
I have seen the scene. When I came in through the front door, I couldn't see what was going on in the kitchen at all because the door was at the back of the residential building. Even if the lights were on inside, I couldn't see anything.

Moreover, the murderer committed the crime at midnight, so why was the kitchen lady in the kitchen? This is also a suspicious point, but combined with the previous investigation results of the technical staff, it is possible that Xin Wanchun had dinner and drank with someone on the night of the crime. "

"After killing people on the first floor, the murderer went straight to the second floor. At this time, the proprietress Zou Fang had already noticed something and she rushed into the two children's room immediately.

The murderer chased after her and broke the door handle when closing the door. There were knife marks on the door. He slashed Zou Fang on the back.

At that time, Zou Fang's daughter saw the criminals breaking in and began to call for help.

The murderer was afraid that outsiders would hear it. Of course, no one near the brick factory could hear the girl's loud cries.

The murderer also thought of this after Zou Fang lost his resistance, so he became evil-minded towards Xin Xiaoju.

After finishing the crime, the murderer killed the victim Xin Xiaoju, picked up Zou Fang's shirt, wrapped the bloody knife, cleaned up the crime scene, closed the door, and escaped by climbing over the wall behind the brick factory.

At the time of the incident, the victim Zou Fang's son Xin Xin and the little yellow dog were hiding under the bed. She failed to protect her daughter, but she saved her son's life.

The murderer was an extremely cruel person. He was familiar with the environment of the brick factory, but he did not know the family situation of Xin Wanchun. Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why Xin Xin survived. "

As soon as Luo Rui finished speaking, the door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open.

Lin Chen stood outside the door, gasping for breath and shouting, "Team Leader, Xin Xin spoke up. He said he saw the murderer's face!"
