Detective: From the Police Academy

Chapter 339 I Saw the Murderer
Linjiang Municipal Bureau, reception room.

There was a bucket of cold instant noodles on the table with a plastic fork still stuck in the seal, but it had not been eaten.

The boy Xin Xin sat in the chair next to him, holding the little yellow dog that depended on him for life in his arms.

When the door was pushed open, both the man and the dog raised their heads in panic, with expressions of vigilance and timidity on their faces.

There was a circle of police officers outside the corridor, but no one came in. They all watched with bated breath, fearing that the slightest noise would scare the boy.

Xin Wanchun's family of three were killed, and only this nine-year-old child was left alive. It can be said to be a blessing in disguise.

At the most dangerous moment, his mother Zou Fang tried desperately to protect her two children, but in the end she only saved him.

In this major murder case, the surviving Xin Xin was the last eyewitness, so his statement was the most important, which was also the reason why the police officers from the Municipal Bureau gathered here.

Kang Bolin wanted to go in, but was stopped by Tang Zhiguo: "Let the female comrades go and ask."

"Okay then." Kang Bolin agreed and instructed his subordinates, "No need to take him to the interrogation room. Just take the statement here. Hey, set up the camera quickly."

Subsequently, the persons scheduled for questioning were Lin Chen and Cai Xiaojing.

Both of them are policewomen, which naturally gives people a sense of trust, and they are both wearing uniforms.

Cai Xiaojing sat opposite Xin Xin with a notebook in hand. There was no table between them. She tried her best to create a relaxed conversation environment for the child in front of her.

Lin Chen was sitting at the table with a laptop on it.

After Tang Zhiguo nodded to Cai Xiaojing, the latter leaned forward, looked at Xin Xin, and a smile appeared on her face.

She tried to ask in a gentle tone: "Child, what is your name?"

"Xin...Xin." The boy answered but did not raise his head.

"How old are you this year?"

"Nine years old."

"What are your father and mother's names?"

When asked about this, Xin Xin burst into tears: "My dad... my dad's name is Xin Wanchun, and my mom's name is Zou Fang."

His emotions suddenly surged: "Uncle, aunt, they are dead, they were killed, and my sister too! I saw the murderer! I saw him!"

"Child, don't get excited." Cai Xiaojing held back her tears, left the chair, and squatted beside him: "Tell auntie, what happened at that time?"

This was the cruelest question, which made the boy recall the scene of his parents being killed and moved all the detectives present.

Cai Xiaojing could hear sighs coming from the corridor, one after another. Some detectives could not bear to watch any longer and turned their heads away.

Especially some newbies who are not very experienced in the world, they bit their cheeks and clenched their fists.

Lin Chen couldn't help but cover his mouth, gritted his teeth, then took out a few tissues from the table and handed them to Cai Xiaojing.

Cai Xiaojing wiped away the boy's tears and said, "Son, tell your aunt what happened that night. Don't be afraid. You are safe now. There are police officers like me around you. They will definitely catch the murderer and help your parents get revenge."

As a police officer, you must never say the word "revenge" casually.

But Cai Xiaojing still spoke out that her father also died in an investigation of a drug case, so she felt the loss of her family most deeply.

Sure enough, these words worked. The boy raised his face, which was covered with tears and snot.

……

……

Interrogation Room No. 1.

Luo Rui did not wait for the result of the interrogation of the boy upstairs. The case was serious and the time was too urgent. The higher-ups had a deadline to solve the case, so the pressure could be imagined.

Luo Rui pushed open the door and took Tian Guanghan into the interrogation room.

Xiang Qiang was not restricted in his freedom. He just sat in the interrogation chair with a look of surprise and doubt on his face.

When he saw someone coming in, he wanted to stand up, but the situation he was facing now made him alert, so he decided it would be better for him to sit down and not make any unnecessary movements.

At least I was not handcuffed, and the police officer who brought me here said that it was just a simple interrogation and not forced detention.

However, he was still very nervous. The environment in the interrogation room was already very oppressive, and he had experienced it himself, so he couldn't help but feel nervous.

"Bang!"

A pile of documents fell on the table, giving Xiang Qiang a fright.

Tian Guanghan began to inform the people being questioned of their rights and obligations.

After that, Luo Rui stared at him closely: "What's your name? Tell me your age, home address, and ID number."

Xiang Qiang licked his lips and said, "Officer, I have already made a statement during the day. Why did you bring me here?"

"I emphasize again, I ask, you answer, understand?"

"Then I choose not to say anything." Xiang Qiang wanted to struggle: "You are treating me as a suspect in the murder of my cousin's family. If I say something wrong, won't you send me to jail? No, this is a capital crime.

Officer, I didn't kill anyone. How many people in this world would dare to commit such a serious crime?"

Luo Rui sneered: "You didn't hear what I said clearly, right? Name, age, address, are you going to tell me or not?"

Xiang Qiang crossed his arms, turned his face to the side and began to resist.

"Okay." Luo Rui stood up and said to Tian Guanghan, "Let's not ask anymore. This person has no name or surname. He should be an illegal resident. According to the regulations, illegal resident can be detained indefinitely..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiang Qiang's face changed. He had not killed anyone in the first place, and the police had no evidence. As long as 24 hours passed, he would be free again.

But if you are a black household...

Xiang Qiang quickly blurted out all his identity information, even telling every detail about his wife's affair.

Hearing this, Luo Rui's face darkened: "I didn't ask about your wife. Tell me where you went after get off work at the brick factory on the evening of April 6th."

"Didn't I already say that?" Xiang Qiang complained, but when he saw Luo Rui's dark face, he sighed, "I left the brick factory at ten o'clock, drank with a few friends downstairs of my rental house, and then returned to the rental house around twelve o'clock in the evening."

lie!

Xiang Qiang answered while touching his nose and glancing upward with his left eye.

"Can anyone prove that you stayed in the rental house all night?"

"I live alone, who can prove it for me? Officer, I am telling the truth! My cousin's family was killed, it was definitely not me. Besides, if I did it, why would I go to work at the brick factory the next morning?
If you don’t believe me, you can ask Shen Weihua and Zhou Xiaoquan, they can testify for me.”

"I didn't say you killed anyone!" Luo Rui gave him a reassurance.

Just as Xiang Qiang looked relieved, Luo Rui continued, "But there is evidence that you returned to the brick factory after midnight on April 6. What did you do?"

"Ah?" Xiang Qiang was panicked: "I... I didn't..."

"You're lying!" She pointed at his nose and said, "I'm telling you, we've already found the people you drank with. They accused you of threatening to kill Xin Wanchun that night!"

Xiang Qiang quickly explained: "I didn't, officer, they are talking nonsense, I...I was just saying that in anger, think about it, my cousin, of course, he is not my cousin, he transferred all my salary to my wife's card, how can I not hate him!

But if you say I killed him, I definitely wouldn't dare to do that. No, you just said I didn't kill anyone, why did you change your mind now?"

"Then tell me clearly where you were going after midnight on April 6th. If you don't tell me clearly, you can't even think of leaving this door!"

Xiang Qiang's face was uncertain. After a mental struggle, he sighed and said, "Yes, after drinking that night, I returned to the brick factory. But you have to believe me, I didn't kill anyone."

"You speak first."

"Okay, actually I'm going to see Lao Yong's wife."

"What?" Luo Rui's face choked: "The old Yong you mentioned is Yong Jian?"

"Yes!" Xiang Qiang said, "I... I had some relationship with his wife. I was drunk that night and his wife was not around, so I... Anyway, I didn't kill anyone."

Luo Rui frowned and asked, "Please be more specific. What time did you return to the brick factory?"

"It was already late at night when I arrived at the brick factory. I didn't pay attention to the time, and before I left, I called Wang Qiaozhen.

We usually do... uh, that stuff in the kitchen.

But when I arrived, I called her again and she said that my cousin had guests at his house and was drinking, so she didn't have time tonight.

I was drunk at the time and kept pestering her. I told her that it didn't have to be done in the house.

So I called her out and made love with her for a while..."

"Wait a moment." Luo Rui picked up Tian Jing's forensic record book.

During the initial autopsy of Wang Qiaozhen, no residual semen was found on her body, and the woman was nearly fifty years old.

This shows that the two people did not have any substantial sexual relations that night.

"Did she tell you who Xin Wanchun entertained?"

Xiang Qiang shook his head: "No, but Wang Qiaozhen's husband Yong Jian was also there to drink with us."

"What happens after this?"

"I left after that, and I was also afraid that Yong Jian would find out about my relationship with his wife."

"Did you hear or see anything at that time?"

Xiang Qiang recalled and then nodded: "Yes, I remember when I was riding my bicycle away, Xin Wanchun's son saw me in front of the second-floor window."

When he said this, he slapped his thigh and said, "Officer, is that kid still alive? He can testify for me! I heard that his whole family died. Could the kid have been killed too?"

……

……

Reception room.

The boy Xin Xin shouted: "It was Xiang Qiang, he killed my father, my mother, and my sister!"

Hearing this, Cai Xiaojing quickly asked: "How do you know it was him?" "I saw him!" Xin Xin said excitedly: "He was the last one to leave our house. Before that, I was watching TV with him in the TV room.

After that, I got up at night to pee, and from the living room window, I saw him riding his bike, just behind the fence!"

Hearing this, the criminal police in the reception room were shocked. Kang Bolin almost ran away and prepared to go to the interrogation room, but was stopped by Tang Zhiguo: "Why are you in such a hurry? Can the person still run away?!"

Cai Xiaojing continued to ask: "Did you see him enter the factory?"

"No, but he and Aunt Wang were hiding behind the wall. I saw Aunt Wang kneeling in front of him. I don't know what she was doing."

"You mean this woman named Wang Qiaozhen went out to meet Xiang Qiang?"

"Yes."

"Besides this person, who else was in your house that night?"

"There were a few people. They came very late. My sister and I had already gone upstairs to sleep. My dad was greeting them."

"Who are they? Do you know their names? Do you know what they look like?"

Xin Xin shook her head: "I can't remember."

Cai Xiaojing patted his knee gently with her right hand: "Think about it carefully and see if you can remember it?"

Time passed slowly. Xin Xin gritted her teeth and tried hard to attend the meeting, but she finally shook her head, looking very annoyed: "I'm sorry, I'm useless, I'm useless, I don't know."

"Don't be sad, don't force yourself." Cai Xiaojing comforted: "What happened after this? What happened?"

"My sister and I shared a bedroom. My dad bought us a bunk bed. My sister and I had been fighting over the upper bunk. That night, I didn't beat my sister. No, I gave up the upper bunk to my sister.

Woohoo...I should be the one to die, not my sister.

If I hadn't given it to her, she would have survived...

I don’t know what time it was. I just remember that my mother suddenly rushed in and scared me awake. I heard someone pushing the door outside and my mother held it tightly.

She told me and my sister to hide. I was timid, so I took Xiao Huang and hid under the bed. My sister didn’t have time to...

Later, I heard a man's voice. I heard him beating my mom. My mom fell to the ground. Then my sister... my sister...

Wuuuu... I didn't dare to make a sound, I was very scared. I used one hand to cover Xiao Huang's mouth tightly to prevent him from shouting. I saw that my mother was dead, her body was covered in blood, and my sister kept shouting and begging for mercy...

Auntie, it’s me who’s to blame, it’s me! I shouldn’t have given the upper bunk to my sister so that she could survive… wuwu…”

Xin Xin was extremely sad, and the cry that came from her heart and lungs was breathtaking.

Cai Xiaojing quickly turned her face away, tears falling silently.

Lin Chen was also biting his lips, his fingers stroking the keyboard stiffly, and he had no strength to type at all.

Tang Zhiguo coughed and pinched his thigh.

He squatted down and stared into the boy's eyes: "Son, tell your uncle, did you see the gangster who broke into the bedroom?"

"Woo woo... I only saw him wearing a pair of green Liberation shoes... I could recognize his voice, but I didn't see his face. But I knew it must be Xiang Qiang. It was him. He was the one who killed my family!"

"Why do you say that?" Tang Zhiguo asked, "Is this person's voice the same as Xiang Qiang's?"

"No... No, wow, I killed my sister..."

Xin Xin's words were already unclear, he looked too excited, and his eyes were red and swollen because he had been crying for too long.

Cai Xiaojing couldn't bear to see him like this, so she had to ask Tang Zhiguo for help with a questioning look.

Tang Zhiguo sighed and stood up: "Take good care of this child and wait until he calms down."

Hearing this, Cai Xiaojing hugged the boy and said, "Don't cry, you have to be brave. Your parents and your sister all hope that you can be strong. Auntie promises you that we will catch the murderer, we will!"

……

……

Four o'clock in the morning, criminal investigation meeting room.

Even at this point, the criminal police of the Municipal Bureau did not put down their work and were fully focused, determined to bring the murderer to justice.

The forensic department worked overtime to perform the autopsy overnight, and the on-site investigation continued to send back information from the crime scene, and the police's investigation work was also in progress.

Tang Zhiguo ordered that a specific action plan must be put forward before dawn.

Most people had dark circles under their eyes, holding a cup of coffee in their hands, taking a sip from time to time to cheer themselves up.

If you don’t like coffee, just make a cup of strong tea and take big gulps.

These two items are indispensable in the criminal police office. If you put them in a drawer, you never know when they will be lost.

Luo Rui asked Fang Yonghui to go outside and fetch several boxes of Red Bull and put them on the conference table. Whoever wanted one could take it.

In this case, Lu Kangming has become a foil. Tang Zhiguo is in full charge, with three branches connected to the municipal bureau to focus on solving the case.

For a moment, the sound of knocking pull rings could be heard in the criminal investigation meeting room.

Tang Zhiguo also ordered a bottle of Red Bull. Lu Kangming helped him open the pull ring. While drinking, he looked at Luo Rui and said, "Deputy Branch Officer Luo, tell me, is Xiang Qiang suspected of murder?"

Luo Rui shook his head: "I didn't get anything out of him. This kid has shifty eyes. According to his confession, he returned to the brick factory, but did not go in. He had an affair with the victim, Wang Qiaozhen, outside the wall. After that, he left.

However, I tend to rule him out as a suspect for now. This guy doesn't have the guts to kill so many people in one go."

Then, Cai Xiaojing also handed Xin Xin's transcript to Luo Rui, who, after reading it, passed it to Tian Guanghan and others in turn.

After everyone finished their drinks, Tang Zhiguo asked, "Tell me, where should we start?"

When he asked this question, he looked at the leaders of each branch, with his eyes focusing on Han Dong.

After all, this case occurred within the jurisdiction of Gaoping Branch.

However, Han Dong shrank his head and avoided looking.

The deadline is three days to solve the case, and whoever answers will be responsible.

Because Luo Rui had promised before, Han Dong and others set their sights on him.

If this case is solved, it will be progress and achievement. If it is not solved, it will be a step backward and will leave a stain on the future.

Luo Rui said: "It's very late now, I won't say anything high-sounding, so as not to disturb everyone's rest. We still have a tough battle to fight in the next few days.

I'll arrange the tasks.

Captain Han, the case happened in your jurisdiction and you know the situation best. Xin Wanchun has been doing business for so many years, and you need to investigate who he has offended and who he has dealt with.

In particular, workers who used to work in brick factories and still live in the city will be screened in particular, and no one will be left out.

I want a list of these people after twelve o'clock tonight."

Han Dong nodded quickly: "I understand, I promise to complete the task."

"Chu Yang, Su Mingyuan, Yang Bo." Luo Rui looked at the two of them and said, "Xin Wanchun had a social gathering on the night he was killed. Several people came to the brick factory to eat and drink. Go and find out the identities of these people.

That night, Xin Wanchun drank a bottle of expensive high-end liquor. It was possible that the person he entertained was a business person. Let’s start from this clue.”

"Yes!" the three answered in unison.

"Lin Chen, Tian Guanghan, go to Xin Xiaoju's school and check. Xin Xiaoju was a junior high school student in the city's No. 1 Middle School. Find out who she had contact with before her death."

"clear."

Luo Rui then looked at Kang Bolin and said, "Captain Kang, please find someone to check for people who have been involved in harassing women or have a history of raping women.

I just called our technical investigation colleagues and they said that no cloud cover box was found in the victim Xin Wanchun's home. We need to find out whether Xin Wanchun and his wife have any purchase record.

Director Tian said that the murderer used a cloud-avoiding condom when he violated the victim Xin Xiaoju. Was this thing from the victim's home or did the murderer bring it with him?

If the murderer brought this kind of thing with him, then the nature of the case would be different. It would not be for money or revenge, but he just wanted to deal with Zou Fang or Xin Xiaoju.

Judging from the scenes where the victims were killed, they most likely knew each other, otherwise it would be impossible to explain how the murderer got in. Moreover, judging from the scene where he killed Xin Wanchun and Yong Jian, the two sides were in a confrontation.

Moreover, the time was after Xin Wanchun had finished entertaining the guests. After all, the round table in the living room on the first floor had been cleaned up, and there was no leftover food on the table.

After killing the victim, the murderer stole the victim's belongings, locked the door of the brick factory, and then escaped through the back wall. He definitely did not want the workers who came to work the next day to discover the murder scene in time. The murderer was buying time for himself, and he might be able to escape!
That child... Xin Xin had seen the murderer's feet. The murderer was wearing green Liberation shoes, and there were footprints of crawling on the back wall. The size of the footprints was a size 41 shoe print.

Before the meeting, I compared Xin Xin's statements with the footprints left on the wall, and the facts were consistent.

So what we are looking for now is a middle-aged man who wears size 41 Liberation shoes, is between 65 and 75 meters tall, and weighs between and kilograms.

He didn't have much money, so it was impossible for him to take a plane. The only options he could use were cheaper means of transportation such as trains and buses, or he could escape in a private car!
Kang Detachment, please immediately notify the bus station, railway station, and deploy personnel to check the illegal taxi drivers in this city to see if there are any suspicious persons escaping.

In addition, when the murderer left the crime scene, in addition to stealing money, he also took away the victim Zou Fang's top, which was a white pajama with lace on the front. He must have used it to wrap the tools used in the crime.

If the murderer escapes, he can’t possibly take these things with him, so we also need to notify the sanitation workers in the city to offer a reward to them if they find bloody clothes or the tools used in the crime! "

"I'll go right away!" Kang Bolin immediately set off and began to arrange the tasks.

Luo Rui's analysis was well-reasoned, especially regarding the clue of Biyuntuo. Although he did not say it explicitly, it had already pointed out the nature of the case.

Tang Zhiguo raised his eyebrows. Being able to summarize clues and distribute tasks in a short period of time, Luo Rui's brain was very quick and he already had the ability to be a detachment leader.

Kang Bolin was so eager to take action, it was obvious that he wanted to arrest people according to Luo Rui's analysis. He was trying to steal the credit.

Tang Zhiguo couldn't help but complain in his heart, it's time to let Old Kang move around and stop occupying the toilet without doing anything.

Afterwards, snoring sounds were heard one after another in the conference room, corridors, desks and other areas. Everyone took the opportunity to sleep for two or three hours before dawn so that they could cheer up and start to act.

Luo Rui was not sleepy at all. As soon as he closed his eyes, he could recall the boy hiding in the cracks of the brick wall.

He was so helpless, sad and scared.

Seeing my parents and sister being killed with my own eyes, how cruel and brutal it is!
Anyone who commits a serious crime must pay with his life!

Luo Rui looked at the dark ceiling and gritted his teeth.
