Detective: From the Police Academy

Chapter 344 The real murderer!

Linjiang City, Suburban Funeral Home.

Cai Xiaojing was sitting in the reception room, accompanied by the chief forensic doctor Tian Jing.

Sitting across the table were Xin Wanchun's immediate family members.

Xin Wanchun's mother passed away a few years ago. His father is already in his seventies and the skin on his face is wrinkled like chicken skin. When he heard that his son's family was killed, the elderly man was in great pain and tried hard to hold back his tears.

In addition, Xin Wanchun also has a younger sister who got married and then divorced. She hugged Xin Wanchun's only son Xin Xin, holding a tissue in her hand and wiping the tears from her face.

Cai Xiaojing had faced many victims' families before. Although she had adjusted her mindset long ago, she still felt sad when she faced Xin Xin, the only survivor.

Xin Wanchun's sister Xin Qiu said, "Officer, when will the bodies of my brother and his family be returned to us?"

Before Cai Xiaojing could speak, Tian Jing next to her answered first: "If you want to sentence the murderer of Xin Wanchun to death, then it is best not to burn the body first. Once the case is confirmed, their bodies will naturally be handed over to your family members."

The old man pleaded, "I checked the almanac and next Wednesday is a good day. I want to bury them on that day. Is that okay?"

Cai Xiaojing sighed and changed the subject: "Old man, this is the case. Our police are doing their best to hunt down the murderer who killed your son and his family of three. I have a few questions for you now. If it's convenient, can you answer them?"

"Ask." The old man nodded.

"Has Xin Wanchun offended anyone in his business over the years?"

The old man didn't live with his son, so naturally he didn't know and had to look at his daughter.

Xin Qiu recalled: "My brother used to run a big business, so it was inevitable that he would offend some people. In recent years, the brick factory's business has plummeted, and many workers have been laid off. He also had many disputes with suppliers and was sued twice."

The materials Cai Xiaojing is holding in her hand include investigation records in this regard, which she had just obtained.

"Who are the people most likely to cause trouble for Xin Wanchun?"

"I don't know about that." When Xin Qiu answered, Xin Xin kept his head down with red eyes.

Cai Xiaojing looked at him: "Xiao Xin, do you remember anything? For example, that night..."

Before she finished speaking, Xin Qiu hurriedly said, "Officer, don't ask anymore. The child is still young. Such a big thing happened and he was so frightened. I don't want him to recall what happened that night."

"It's like this..." Cai Xiaojing quickly explained: "He is the only surviving victim in this case. He can be said to be half an eyewitness. His confession is very important for us to track down the suspect."

Xin Qiu shook her head: "Even so, I don't agree that Xin Xin should be hurt again. He is still young and has a long way to go. If his childhood is traumatized, my brother and sister-in-law will be sad in heaven."

"is it?"

Hearing this, Xin Qiu frowned and was about to get angry, but when she saw the policewoman in front of her didn't even move her lips, she quickly turned around.

I don't know when, several strangers were standing behind me.

Cai Xiaojing stood up from her chair and introduced: "Old lady, Ms. Xin, this is the deputy chief of our criminal police detachment, Officer Luo."

Luo Rui extended his hand to the old man: "Hello, I am the lead police officer investigating this case."

Hearing this, the old man suddenly became emotional: "Officer, you must catch the murderer who killed my son and his family. They died tragically. My son's neck was cut off. My daughter-in-law and granddaughter..."

"Don't worry, I will do my best." Luo Rui replied and looked at Xin Xin, the nine-year-old boy, who was standing aside with red eyes and tears flowing down.

His aunt Xin Qiu also wiped her tears and said, "Officer Luo, what did you mean just now?"

This was half a question, but Luo Rui first glanced at Xin Xin, then answered: "There are some problems with this child's previous transcript. We need to question him again."

These words were very formal, and Luo Rui's voice was cold, without any emotion.

Cai Xiaojing and forensic director Tian Jing immediately felt something was wrong.

Xin Qiu retorted: "No, I have just explained to the female police officer that you can't catch the murderer by yourselves, and you can't keep holding my nephew. He is still young, and if he has mental problems, you will be responsible."

"Okay, we'll take responsibility!" Luo Rui agreed readily.

Xin Qiu still refused and hugged the boy to himself, but the old man next to him said, "Qiu'er, let them ask. Your brother and sister-in-law died in an unclear way. The sooner the police catch the murderer, we can also let your brother and his family rest in peace soon."

After thinking for a while, Xin Qiu nodded in agreement.

Seeing that she had given in, Luo Rui immediately called Lin Chen and Chu Yang. The former turned on his laptop and the latter turned on the law enforcement recorder.

In addition to Chu Yang, Fang Yonghui and Yang Bo also turned on their law enforcement recorders and filmed from different angles.

Cai Xiaojing was even more confused when she saw this scene. She wanted to ask Luo Rui what happened first, but seeing his livid face, she did not dare to speak.

There were three chairs opposite the table, the old man sat at the back, Xin Xin sat opposite the table, because he was still young, he needed a guardian to accompany him, so Xin Qiu sat next to him.

Seeing that everything was ready, Luo Rui said, "Xin Xin, look up and look at me."

Hearing this, the boy still lowered his head and did not put his hands on the table. Instead, he crossed his hands and placed them on his abdomen.

Xin Qiu advised: "Xin, look at the police uncle, answer whatever he asks, and if you feel uncomfortable, tell your aunt, okay?"

But Xin Xin didn't move, with her hands tightly clasped together.

Seeing his look, Luo Rui felt something was wrong.

Earlier, when Cai Xiaojing and others were questioning him, Luo Rui was facing Xiang Qiang in the interrogation room, so he did not realize that there was something wrong with the boy at the first time.

But now it was full of loopholes. The boy was too nervous. He pursed his lips tightly and didn't dare to look up. He just cried.

Xin Qiu sighed helplessly: "I think forget it, let's not force it..."

But then, there was a "bang!"

Luo Rui slammed the table hard, and the water in the paper cup on the table spilled out.

Not only Xin Qiu, but everyone around was startled. Xin Xin's head shrank and he raised his head vigilantly.

Luo Rui blurted out: "Xin Xin, let me ask you, did you open the door and let the murderer who killed your family in?!"

When these words were spoken, Cai Xiaojing and Tian Jing, who were previously confused, opened their mouths wide, not to mention Xin Xin's aunt Xin Qiu and grandfather.

For a moment, everyone was stunned.

Even Xin Xin's expression froze. A great panic flashed in his eyes. His body trembled and his teeth chattered.

Xin Qiu reacted and thought this was too absurd, and immediately wanted to refute it, but Luo Rui continued to yell: "Xin Xin, at 11:30 pm on April 6th, was it you who let the murderer into the house? Answer me!"

Luo Rui's voice was deafening and scared everyone. And because he was too tall, had a dark complexion, and a pair of eyes like those of a vicious snake, it was difficult for ordinary criminal suspects to resist him, let alone a nine-year-old boy.

Xin Xin's body was shaking like a sieve and she burst into tears.

"woo woo woo woo……"

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have let him in. I killed my parents and my sister. I was wrong, I was wrong... wuwu..."

His aunt, who had been trying to comfort him, froze with an expression of disbelief on her face.

Cai Xiaojing and others also turned pale.

Luo Rui breathed a sigh of relief, and his tone softened: "Xin Xin, tell me, who was the person you let in that night?"

"I..." Xin Xin was out of breath and couldn't speak.

Xin Qiu and the old man both realized the seriousness of the problem, and they hurriedly urged: "Tell me, Xiao Xin, who did you let into the house?"

"Don't be afraid, Xin, Grandpa is here, tell me, who is this person?!"

"Yes...it's my uncle!"

boom!
Xin Qiu was knocked down again and his mind went blank.

The old man was also stunned with shock.

Luo Rui remained calm and continued to ask, "What's your uncle's name?"

It was Xin Xin who replied: "Huang Jian."

As soon as the name came out, Chu Yang at the side quickly retrieved the person's identity information from the police system.

After the data came out, he immediately showed it to Luo Rui, and Cai Xiaojing also quickly stared at the screen.

Name: Huang Jian.

Age: 41 years old.

Native place: Native of Linjiang City.

Occupation: Construction team contractor.

Home address: Room 11, Building 2, Chunyuan Community, No. 802, Jianshe Road, Linjiang City.

Luo Rui looked at Fang Yonghui: "You, Yang Bo, and Su Mingyuan, take people to this place immediately. Don't alert the enemy. First, check the surveillance in the community and investigate the situation to see if Huang Jian has escaped!"

"Yes!" Fang Yonghui and the other two agreed and immediately turned around and left.

"Captain Cai, notify Captain Kang to check the ticket records for leaving the city at the train station and bus station. Oh, we were going in the wrong direction. The suspect Huang Jian has a certain amount of financial strength and may have fled by plane. The airport must also be checked in detail."

"I understand." Cai Xiaojing was still in shock, her eyes never leaving Xin Xin. She didn't expect that the child would lie when she questioned him for the first time.

No one would have thought that a nine-year-old child, and the only surviving son of Xin Wanchun, would deceive the police in such a serious criminal case.

"Impossible, impossible, how could Lao Huang kill someone? How dare he?"

At this time, Xin Qiu shouted hysterically, she hugged her nephew's shoulders, her voice trembling: "Xin'er, tell your aunt, was it really your uncle who asked you to open the door?"

"Aunt, that is my uncle. After school that day, he stopped me at the school gate and said he would come to my house in the evening and asked me to open the door for him. I asked him why he asked me to open the door. He said that my father and mother would not let him in, and he had something to ask my parents, so I agreed."

This definite answer made Xin Qiu's head buzz. He could not hold on any longer and fainted on the spot.

Although she and her partner have divorced, she still finds it hard to believe this result.

Luo Rui remained unmoved and called the police to take the woman away, leaving the old man sitting numbly in the chair with a sad expression.

He looked at Xin Xin again. The boy seemed relieved to have told the truth, but tears kept flowing down. The regret and pain in his eyes did not seem to be fake.

"Xin Xin, tell me in detail what happened that night. Don't leave anything out. Do you understand?"

……

……

At eight o'clock in the evening, Linjiang City ushered in darkness.

The street lights on the road lit up one after another. Luo Rui, Cai Xiaojing and Lin Chen were sitting in the car.

The bright yellow street lights flashed across their faces.

Cai Xiaojing kept her eyes fixed on the receding street lamp. She sighed, "I never thought that this boy would lie."

Luo Rui drove the car and glanced at her: "Don't blame yourself too much. Xin Xin knows that she has made a big mistake, but she doesn't dare to tell the truth."

"But...but his parents and sister were killed. How could he...how could he have the guts to lie about such a serious matter?"

Lin Chen was sitting in the back seat, sighing. She said, "No matter how young they are, as long as they are human, they will cover up their mistakes. This child is immature and afraid that others will know the big mistake he made, so he can only lie.

Fortunately, we got him to tell the truth. If he had kept it secret, not only would the case have come to a dead end, but it would have caused him a lot of harm in his future life."

Cai Xiaojing held her forehead and said, "I don't know how I will face these children in the future. Human nature is so complicated. Are we all born with evil thoughts?"

Luo Rui consoled him: "Don't be so extreme. This kid doesn't have any evil intentions. I just said that he simply doesn't want others to know that he killed his parents and sister. It's that simple."

Cai Xiaojing sighed again and stopped talking.

Soon, Luo Rui drove the car into Chunyuan Community on Jianshe Road.

Fang Yonghui, who was in the security room, came out immediately and said, "Master Luo, we have checked the surveillance footage. At 11 o'clock yesterday morning, Huang Jian came out of his home with a black travel bag. He must have fled."

"Have you been to the house?"

"Not yet. Yang Bo and Ming Yuan are guarding Huang Jian's door."

"Come on, let's go take a look."

The group arrived at Building 2 and took the elevator upstairs.

Yang Bo and Su Mingyuan immediately stepped forward, and the latter said, "Team leader, according to the neighbors next door, this Huang Jian and Xin Wanchun's biological sister got married ten years ago and divorced three years ago. Huang Jian gave Xin Qiu a divorce settlement. The house here is under Huang Jian's name. He has been living here."

"Why did they get divorced?"

"It is said that it was Xin Qiu who filed for divorce because Huang Jian was infertile. Moreover, Huang Jian had contracted a project together with his eldest brother-in-law, Xin Wanchun."

At this time, Chu Yang took the locksmith upstairs.

Because of the police's endorsement, the locksmith only took a few minutes to open the door. Chu Yang offered him money, but he refused. Before leaving, he only left a sentence: "Serve the people!"

Huang Jian's residence is a two-bedroom apartment with very old furniture and appliances.

As soon as the group entered the room, they began a search.

Luo Rui stood in the living room and shouted, "Everyone, search carefully. Don't miss the kitchen and behind the refrigerator."

"Understood!" everyone replied.

Luo Rui saw that there was a photo frame upside down on the counter under the TV. After he picked it up, he saw that the photo inside the frame was a family portrait.

The so-called family portrait actually consists of Xin Wanchun's family, plus Huang Jian.

But from the photos, it is impossible to tell what kind of grudge Huang Jian has against this family.

"Team leader, we found this thing hidden under the laundry table."

At this time, Yang Bo walked out of the kitchen with a large black plastic bag in his hand.

After opening the plastic bag, inside was a bloody jacket and a pair of Liberation shoes with blood stains. In addition, there was also the double-breasted pajamas that the victim Zou Fang was wearing when she was killed.

There were congealed blood stains all over my pajamas!
Luo Rui immediately asked: "Where are the tools used to commit the crime?"

"Here!" Fang Yonghui came out of the bedroom, holding a long machete with a bent blade in his hand. "I found this under the bed, wrapped in a big cotton-padded jacket."

Lin Chen said, "This proves that Huang Jian is the murderer of the [407 Major Murder Case]. There is no way he can escape."

Just in case, Luo Rui took out the shoes that Huang Jian usually wore from the shoe cabinet and compared them with the Jiefang shoes. They were the same size.

Moreover, among these physical evidences, as long as Huang Jian’s fingerprints or biological samples are extracted, it will be truly confirmed that he committed the crime.

"Captain Cai, take these things back to the Municipal Bureau and ask the technical team to identify them immediately. I want the results tomorrow morning!"

"Okay." Cai Xiaojing took Chu Yang and took the things back first.

Then, Luo Rui called Kang Bolin to inform him of the current search situation.

Unexpectedly, the other party acted quickly and had already locked onto Huang Jian's whereabouts.

……

……

At two o'clock in the morning, at a highway service area 100 kilometers away from Linjiang City.

Luo Rui and his group rushed over to meet up with Kang Bolin.

Because it doesn't arouse suspicion, everyone drives private vehicles.

In addition to Luo Rui's criminal team, the first team of the Municipal Bureau is also here.

A dozen people were lurking in the car.

Luo Rui got into Kang Bolin's car. When Kang Bolin saw him, he immediately patted him on the shoulder and said, "Deputy Captain Luo, good job! You only spent a few days to solve the case in the three-day deadline given by the higher-ups? Less than two days!"

“Lao Kang, don’t be afraid of flattery, just tell me the situation first.”

"Okay!" Kang Bolin said, "Call me and tell me the suspect's name, so I can investigate. The airport and train station all use real-name registration. If I ask someone to check and there's no such person, then the only one left is the bus station.

The situation at the bus station was more complicated. We watched the surveillance footage for several hours and locked onto Huang Jian. He was wandering around the bus station at 1 p.m. on April 7.

Because you need to use your real name to buy bus tickets now, he didn't go into the station and hid on the roadside to stop a bus.

Moreover, the bus they stopped was heading to another province. We immediately notified the person in charge of the bus station and asked him to call the driver of the bus and send him a photo of Huang Jian for identification.

The driver told us that Huang Jian got off the bus at the service area and never got back on the bus. I guess Huang Jian was hiding in the service area.

This service area has a canteen and two hotels. My men are investigating right now. Once we find out where he is hiding, we will arrest him immediately!"

Hearing this, Luo Rui pondered and said, "What does it mean that he got off the bus midway? Doesn't he plan to run away?"

Kang Bolin smacked his lips and said, "He probably hoped that we policemen would not be able to catch him."

"Maybe."

Kang Bolin looked at him: "Luo Rui, I'm curious, how did you break through this case?"

"That little boy lied."

"Ah?" Kang Bolin was stunned: "Is this true? Don't lie to me."

"Why would I lie to you? Believe it or not."

"No, when Captain Cai questioned the child, we were all there, Director Tang, Director Lu, and me... dozens of detectives were watching, but we didn't notice anything abnormal about the child. How did you see that?"

When this question was asked, the detectives who were sleeping in the van pricked up their ears.

On the one hand, they knew that Luo Rui was really awesome, and the cases he solved were the kind that ordinary criminal police would only encounter a few times in their lifetime. On the other hand, they didn't realize that the kid named Xin Xin was lying.

Luo Rui curled his lips: "Do I need to explain this? It's obvious. You were misled by him at the time. Xin Wanchun's family was killed, and only this child was left. Although we are criminal police, we are also human beings. We have sympathy and we can't wait to catch the murderer and give justice to this child."

"Yeah, your analysis makes sense." Kang Bolin smacked his lips and nodded.

"Also, I raided a casino this afternoon. Do you know Dong Meng? She is said to be the underground queen of our city. The gambling money we brought back to the Municipal Bureau was several million. From her mouth, I found out that the guests Xin Wanchun received that night were Dong Meng and her accountant. The accountant saw Xin Xin opening the door for the murderer..."

As soon as he said this, the detectives in the van lost their sleepiness and sat up one after another, with shocked expressions on their faces.

Kang Bolin was also frightened and could not speak for a long time. He asked with trembling lips: "You...did you solve a major gambling case while investigating this case? And did you bring back several million gambling funds that could be confiscated to Director Tang? And did you find out who Xin Wanchun met on the night of the crime? And did you find key clues? And finally locked down the identity of the murderer?"

Luo Rui nodded: "It seems so."

"I'm going to do this, you..." Kang Bolin pointed at his nose: "Are you a congenital holy body? How can you handle so many things in just one day?"

Luo Rui shrugged, and the detectives in the back seat of the van also widened their eyes: "Deputy, I remember that the first-class medal and plaque for the spy case that your criminal team cracked last time haven't come down yet? This time you cracked another one, you..."

"Deputy Branch Luo, are you still short of people in your criminal team? Do you think I can do it?"

"Deputy, I also graduated from the police academy and have been a police officer for ten years. I think you really need me!"

"Yes, detachment, if you are short of people, please tell us and we will definitely..."

"Go, go!" Kang Bolin interrupted the group of birdmen: "Do you take me seriously? Isn't Deputy Luo your leader? If you want credit, you have to learn from him!"

Kang Bolin sighed. Compared with other people, there is a world of difference between them.

He was feeling depressed when a figure came to the car and knocked on the window.

The plainclothes policeman nicknamed "Ma Gan" whispered: "Team, we have determined where Huang Jian lives. It's in the hotel in front, room 206.

He checked in at 5pm on April 7 and never left the room.”

"Target spotted. Everyone in the team, get out of the car and arrest him immediately!" Kang Bolin shouted into the intercom and pulled the car door open.

More than a dozen figures suddenly jumped out of several nearby cars, many of them with guns drawn, and ran towards the hotel gate in the shadow of the service area...
