Detective: From the Police Academy

Chapter 389 How does an inmate commit a crime outside?
How could a prisoner who had been serving a three-year prison sentence commit a murder a month ago?

Lei Xiaojun was serving his sentence in Wu County, Yuncheng, while Zhang Jing was murdered in Yonghe City, Haidong Province, thousands of miles apart.

How did he kill people?

This incredible thing instantly confused all the participants present.

At this time, it was already evening. In the criminal investigation meeting room of the Municipal Bureau, Luo Rui and his team and the criminal police of the Municipal Bureau gathered together to summarize and analyze the clues they had found during the day.

The above-mentioned question is like a dark cloud hanging over everyone's heart.

"Killing people across space? Could it be like in the movies, this person has superpowers? I don't believe this conclusion." Feng Jianqiu shook his head and said, "Needless to say, someone must have used Lei Xiaojun's identity information."

To be safe, Li Xu did not say anything, but turned to look at Luo Rui: "Director Luo, what do you think?"

Zhang Liang's case was turned into a homicide investigation, and the suspect was identified in less than two days. All the clues were discovered by the people brought by Luo Rui, so his judgment was of course crucial.

Luo Rui said without hesitation: "I agree with Feng Zhi's opinion..."

He originally wanted to say that there is nothing in this world that is beyond human cognition, but suddenly he remembered that when he was investigating a case in Fengshui County in the first half of the year, Xiang Nan, who was a family member of the victim at the time, found the bodies of four children by searching for corpses in dreams. To this day, he still can't figure this out.

"Okay then." Li Xu said immediately, "I'll send someone to Yuncheng Wu County to check and see if this Lei Xiaojun has grown wings."

"This case is a little unusual. Let me take someone with me."

"Director Luo, it's over a thousand kilometers, it's exhausting. I think we should just forget it and let the criminal police from the city bureau do the errands."

Luo Rui shook his head: "What about the second body that was fished out of the well?"

Li Xu frowned: "What do you mean?"

"It's obvious that these are two different cases." Luo Rui leaned forward and said, "What I mean is that our provincial department's people went to Yuncheng, and the comrades from the Municipal Bureau are more familiar with the situation in this city, so we still have to do our best to investigate this case."

Hearing this, Li Xu looked at Feng Jianqiu, who understood and asked, "Director Luo, what is your judgment?"

Luo Rui pondered and said, "Let's talk about Zhang Jing's murder first. His body was thrown into the well to prevent it from being discovered. However, Lei Xiaojun's handling method was completely different from the previous murderer. Do you all agree with this?"

Li Xu nodded slightly, and Feng Jianqiu replied: "You can think so."

"My opinion is that in both cases, the first suspect disposed of the body by cutting the victim into pieces and not throwing the head into the well. Not only that, the victim's clothing and other related evidence were not found, which clearly indicated that the suspect had disposed of the body in advance.

The suspect obviously did this to prevent our police from finding out the identity of the victim.

He hid the body and hid the head somewhere else. If the suspect was Lei Xiaojun, it would be unlikely that he would be so careful. This method of committing the crime is very likely to be done by a local.

Only people living in Yonghe City are afraid of being found by the police, and I speculate that the victim may also be a local.

If the victim was from another place, it would be very difficult for the police to search and the suspect would not hide the body in two places.

In short, the suspect handled this case with extreme caution, which is very suspicious.

Lei Xiaojun was not a local, so his way of handling the bodies was a little rough because he had safety expectations and thought that as long as he escaped from Yonghe City, the police would not be able to do anything to him.

Moreover, let’s not forget that after Lei Xiaojun dumped Zhang Jing’s body, he also threw her suitcase into the drainage ditch. If it was the same murderer, he would never do that.”

Li Xu really wanted to express his own inference, thinking that it was because Lei Xiaojun intended to escape that he treated Zhang Liang's body so roughly, but seeing that Luo Rui's expression became more and more solemn, he did not dare to say it out loud.

Just then, the door of the conference room was pushed open and a policeman strode over.

He did not avoid other people, but handed a document in his hand to Li Xu, and then said: "Li Zhi, this is a fax sent by the Yuncheng police. The person in the photo is Lei Xiaojun."

Li Xu quickly picked up the fax and took a look. The paper was still emitting residual heat, so the police must have taken it away as soon as possible.

After taking a look at it, he handed it to Luo Rui.

As soon as Luo Rui got it, everyone gathered around him, and Cai Xiaojing also held a copy of Lei Xiaojun's ID card in her hand.

Comparing the two photos, Lin Chen was surprised and asked, "Is it really the same person?"

"Damn!" Fang Yonghui shouted, "Exactly the same."

Obviously, everyone thought that someone must have impersonated Lei Xiaojun's identity, but even if it was someone else, the two people should not look the same.

"Hey, interesting." Luo Rui raised his eyebrows and handed the document to Chu Yang: "Go find Peng Tao and see if it's this person."

Chu Yang did not take the documents, but ran out of the meeting room immediately.

At this time, Peng Tao had just been released and was picking up his belongings at the counter in the detention room. He was then brought to the conference room by Chu Yang.

Seeing that the conference room was full of police officers staring at him hungrily, Peng Tao thought that the police could not catch Lei Xiaojun and were going to take him as the target. He was so scared that his legs began to tremble and his heart was in his throat.

Chu Yang comforted her, "Don't be nervous. I asked you to come here so that you can recognize me..."

He handed the faxed document from Yuncheng to Peng Tao: "Take a closer look and see if this person is Lei Xiaojun."

Peng Tao relaxed a little, took a quick look, and immediately said, "It's him. I'd recognize him even if he turned into ashes!"

Chu Yang said: "I asked you to look carefully, look a few more times."

Hearing this, Peng Tao had no choice but to lower his head and continue watching. After a while, he frowned and raised his face: "This... has he been arrested?"

It's no wonder he thought so. The man in the photo was wearing a prisoner's suit with a blue background and white stripes and had a shaved head. Despite this, this man was indeed Lei Xiaojun. Peng Tao had no doubts.

"Okay, take him away." Luo Rui ordered.

After the people left, Luo Rui looked at Li Xu, and the latter naturally knew the meaning of this look.

He hesitated for a moment and said, "Then do as Director Luo said. Director Luo, you go to Yuncheng, and our city bureau will investigate another murder case. However, Director Luo, our city bureau has limited funds and cannot compare with the provincial department..."

Luo Rui understood what he meant and replied, "It's okay, I can just take three people with me. You can afford the expenses for four people, right?"

Li Xu smiled sheepishly and said, "That's natural, that's natural."

--------------

Early the next morning.

In an off-road vehicle heading to Yuncheng, Luo Rui and Lin Chen sat in the back seat, Fang Yonghui was driving, and Chu Yang was sitting in the passenger seat.

Except for Luo Rui, the other three people were very excited.

Lin Chen, in particular, was looking forward to the business trip. She said, "I heard that there are many fun places in Yuncheng. If the case wasn't urgent, I would have wanted to have fun for a few days."

Fang Yonghui and Chu Yang were not very interested in going out to play. What made them happy was that Luo Rui was nostalgic and took them with him on the business trip.

When they returned to the guesthouse last night, Luo Rui did not let them discuss it at all, but directly designated the candidates. This made the new arrivals Qiao Xue, Sun Zhihao and Zhang Yong very hurt, and all three of them looked frustrated.

However, Luo Rui also gave a reason. He asked these three people, under the leadership of Cai Xiaojing, to assist the Municipal Bureau in solving the "Headless Dismemberment Case". Compared with the cases where the suspects have been identified, this case is more difficult and can better demonstrate their abilities.

After hearing this, the three people felt a little better, but they also felt a sense of urgency. To put it bluntly, coming to the provincial department is of course a gilded job, but at the same time they also have to demonstrate their abilities, otherwise Luo Rui might fire them.

Early in the morning, the three of them rushed to the Municipal Bureau without even having breakfast. Of course, Qiao Xue came from the Yonghe Municipal Bureau, so Sun Zhihao and Zhang Yong naturally followed her lead.

Cai Xiaojing's role is to communicate with the provincial department and report the work content of the homicide crackdown team on a daily basis, but she does not specifically participate in the investigation of criminal cases.

Fang Yonghui and Chu Yang took turns driving and it took them ten hours to reach Wu County in Yuncheng and head straight to the suburban prison.

After getting off the bus, the four people took off their down jackets, and Lin Chen's white sweater was also thrown on the seat. They were only wearing an autumn shirt and a coat.

It is still snowing in Yonghe City, and the temperature in Yuncheng is indeed around 20 degrees Celsius, which is very suitable for a winter vacation.

Seeing them get off the car, several people standing at the prison gate immediately came over to greet them.

"Hello, Director Luo. I'm from the Yuncheng Branch. My name is Zhang Qiang."

"Hello, Captain Zhang." Luo Rui shook hands with him and greeted him.

Standing next to Zhang Qiang was a short, fat, middle-aged man who introduced him, "This is Warden Liao from Wu County Prison."

"Director Luo, just call me Lao Liao."

Luo Rui nodded. After a few people exchanged pleasantries for a while, he asked, "Where is the young soldier Lei?"

Zhang Qiang frowned and said, "Director Luo, you have come from afar and drove for more than ten hours. Aren't you in a hurry to interrogate now? There is nothing else in Wu County, but the fish is delicious. How about we eat first? I can entertain you?"

Warden Liao also nodded hurriedly: "Captain Zhang is right. Let's eat first? It won't be too late to interrogate him tomorrow morning."

Luo Rui took a look at the expressions of these two people and felt that something seemed to be wrong.

He had seen this kind of rhetoric a lot. Whenever someone came from above, the locals would first treat him to a banquet and a drink. After that, everyone became brothers. If they found out anything, they would at least give him some leniency.

But Luo Rui is not subordinate to them, and Yuncheng is not under the jurisdiction of Haidong Province. The other party is so enthusiastic, there may be something fishy going on.

Thinking of this, Luo Rui was even less likely to accept their move: "Let's bring it up for trial first. The case is urgent. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come so quickly. Yonghe City is still waiting for my feedback."

Seeing him say this, Zhang Qiang and Warden Liao looked at each other, and the latter had no choice but to nod: "Okay, then we'll bring him in for questioning first."

Luo Rui wanted to walk to the prison gate immediately, but Zhang Qiang pulled him aside: "Director Luo, there is something I need to tell you first."

"You speak."

"It's like this. Lei Xiaojun was imprisoned three years ago. In the second year of his sentence, he got into a fight with another prisoner..."

At this point, Zhang Qiang pointed to his head and said, "There's a problem here."

Luo Rui narrowed his eyes and looked at him: "Are you stupid?" Zhang Qiang nodded: "Yes, that's right."

"Does that mean we can't bring him to trial?" Luo Rui added, "Why didn't you tell us about this in advance?"

Zhang Qiang sighed: "The prison has neglected this matter, so I am embarrassed to tell you. You see, Lao Liao is old and will retire soon. If...right?"

Luo Rui looked at him carefully. Zhang Qiang did not avoid his gaze and did not seem to be lying.

"Let's take the person away first. Lei Xiaojun is detained here, and I can't take him away. This is a murder case in Yonghe City, and we must get to the bottom of this case."

"Okay then." Seeing that Luo Rui did not pursue the matter, Zhang Qiang quickly whispered a few words to the prison warden Liao who was standing nearby.

Afterwards, the group entered the prison gate.

Because it was not a relative visiting but a police interrogation, Lei Xiaojun was escorted into the reception room by two prison guards.

According to the rules, Luo Rui, as a police officer from another place, could not be questioned alone. The prison and Yuncheng police had to be present. Warden Liao and Zhang Qiang sat in chairs on the side, watching the conversation between the two parties.

Lei Xiaojun was convicted of theft in Yuncheng, a minor crime, so the prison authorities did not handcuff him.

"sit down."

At the request of the prison guards, Lei Xiaojun obediently sat in the chair opposite Luo Rui and the others, but with his head lowered and his hands crossed on his abdomen.

Luo Rui observed him for a while and didn't see any external injuries.

Lin Chen immediately spoke: "Lei Xiaojun, we are criminal police officers from the Public Security Department of Haidong Province. This is our director Luo Rui. I am Lin Chen. We are here to question you about a case that happened in Yonghe City. I hope you will cooperate."

Hearing this, Lei Xiaojun seemed unmoved and still kept his head down.

Seeing this, Luo Rui shouted: "Please raise your head."

But Lei Xiaojun still didn't listen and just played with his fingers.

Seeing that the situation could not progress further, Warden Liao nodded slightly to the prison guard standing aside. The latter came over, patted Lei Xiaojun on the shoulder, and said, "XXXX199601, raise your head."

Unexpectedly, Lei Xiaojun shuddered and immediately raised his face.

Luo Rui looked at the prison guard thoughtfully: "He is quite cooperative with you."

The prison guard was tall and strong, with narrow eyes and a slight smile. He explained: "Lei Xiaojun was injured in prison. He has a problem with his brain and has become stupid. He is unfamiliar with his own name, so we usually call him by his number. So, if you want to ask anything, just call his number."

Luo Rui stopped talking to him and looked at Lei Xiaojun, trying to ask: "199601, do you know your name?"

Lei Xiaojun shook his head as if he had dementia.

Lin Chen looked at Luo Rui and leaned over to whisper in his ear: "Director Luo, how can you ask this? You won't get anything out of it."

Luo Rui was also in a bad mood, but he didn't give up and continued to try to communicate with Lei Xiaojun: "Lei Xiaojun, do you have a twin brother?"

But the other party still didn't say anything, just smiled foolishly.

With no other options, Luo Rui had to give up and ordered the prison guards to take the man away.

Afterwards, the prison provided documents about Lei Xiaojun's sentence. He was sentenced to five years in prison by the court three years ago for burglary and the amount of theft was huge.

Lei Xiaojun has served three years in prison. Apart from that, Lei Xiaojun's family situation is very simple. His parents were buried in a mudslide. He happened to be in junior high school at the time and was a boarding student, so he escaped.

After that, because there was no parental supervision, Lei Xiaojun dropped out of junior high school and began to hang out in society, where he engaged in fighting and petty theft.

Although I am already in my twenties, I have never been married.

According to the household registration book, he is the only one left now and there is no twin brother at all.

Seeing this, Lin Chen felt that his brain was short-circuiting: "No, this doesn't make sense. If there are no twin brothers, then who killed Zhang Liang in Yonghe City?

Moreover, Peng Tao, the owner of the auto repair shop, and the apprentice had carefully identified the person in the photo and found that it was Lei Xiaojun. This was too unbelievable. "

"If it doesn't work, I would bring Peng Tao and other related people to Yuncheng and let them identify him."

Chu Yang handed a document in front of everyone: "Look here, this is the blood sample test done by Lei Xiaojun during his imprisonment. After all, it is not as reliable as technology. We just need to compare the DNA of the two people and the results will come out."

"This is the best way." Luo Rui nodded, and then looked at Lin Chen: "Call Yi Chunlin immediately. Didn't they extract hair from Lei Xiaojun's pillow? Tell them to do a DNA test as soon as possible."

"Okay, I'll notify him right away." Lin Chen held the phone and asked, "What about Lei Xiaojun in Yuncheng?"

"Let's do the same. I'll tell the prison authorities that we don't want the DNA report they have now."

"understand!"

Luo Rui stood up and found Warden Liao to explain the situation. He thought he would encounter obstacles, but the other party agreed so readily.

When Zhang Qiang heard about this, he immediately called the technical staff of the Yuncheng City Bureau, and under Luo Rui's nose, they extracted a blood sample of Lei Xiaojun. In order to avoid any mistakes, Fang Yonghui and Chu Yang followed the technical staff to the physical evidence center.

The two of them stayed in front of the glass door of the evidence center all the time, and took turns going to the restroom. If the technicians doing the experiment had not disagreed, they would have wanted to go in with them, for fear of any mistakes.

You have to know that after all, this is not under the jurisdiction of Haidong Province. If something non-compliant happens, it cannot be constrained by the law and we can only argue with each other.

The results were not out until the next morning.

Chu Yang and Fang Yonghui were so sleepy that they fell asleep on the floor in front of the laboratory. Luo Rui and Lin Chen, who had rested all night, came over and let them sleep for a while.

At noon, the door of the laboratory was finally opened, and a technician in a white robe handed the appraisal report to Luo Rui.

He just took a look at it and handed it to Lin Chen, then immediately called Yi Chunlin.

"Director Luo, give me a fax number. Our results are out. I'll send them to you right away."

After hearing this, Luo Rui asked the technician for a fax number and reported it to Yi Chunlin who was far away in Yonghe City.

At this time, Chu Yang and Fang Yonghui had also rested well and rushed over together.

Four people stood by the fax machine, staring at each other.

Fang Yonghui said, "Lin Chen, let's make a bet."

Lin Chen curled his lips: "Okay, then I'll bet that the DNA test results will be different."

"No, why did you say what I said?"

"So what? Even a fool knows that Lei Xiaojun from Yuncheng can't commit a crime in Yonghe City. Isn't this obvious?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the fax machine suddenly made a sound, and then a piece of A4 paper came out.

Lin Chen hurriedly grabbed the paper, and Chu Yang and Fang Yonghui followed closely. The three of them compared them carefully, and then they raised their eyes and looked at Luo Rui who was standing there without moving.

Luo Rui shrugged and said with a smile: "The identification results are the same, right?"

"Team leader, it's amazing, how did you know?" Lin Chen swallowed his saliva.

Fang Yonghui asked, "What's going on? Could it be that the same person really committed the crime?"

Chu Yang shook his head: "Impossible!"

He snatched the faxed appraisal report from Lin Chen, and then compared it carefully with the report from Yuncheng: "You see, there is still a difference. There is only one possibility in this situation..."

Luo Rui took over his words: "Identical twins!"

"That's right!" Chu Yang nodded.

Lin Chen frowned, "That's impossible. Lei Xiaojun's household registration doesn't show that he has twin brothers."

"Don't worry." Luo Rui looked relaxed. "If you want to know the result, let's wait a little longer. I contacted Director Zhao last night. I sent him the fingerprint film of Lei Xiaojun extracted from the prison. He is responsible for fingerprint comparison. Even if they are identical twins, their fingerprints are different."

In less than a moment, Zhao Ming called, and then the four of them waited by the fax machine, waiting for the documents to be faxed over.

After the identification document was sent over, Lin Chen was the first to get it. She looked at the last line of text, which showed that the fingerprint comparison between 'Lei Xiaojun' in Yuncheng Prison and 'Lei Xiaojun' who committed a crime in Yonghe City was unsuccessful, and they were two different fingerprint membranes.

"Damn, now it's clear." Fang Yonghui wiped a sweat and let out a breath.

After Lin Chen handed the identification documents to Luo Rui, he said, "So what we are looking for now is the identical twins who stole Lei Xiaojun's identity?"

Chu Yang nodded: "Lei Xiaojun's parents are now dead, and there is no way to find out. They must have abandoned one of the twins after giving birth to them, or sold it. So if we want to track this person down, we can only start from Lei Xiaojun's hometown."

Fang Yonghui shook his head: "How can we investigate this? Even if we find out the identity of the person who committed the crime in Yonghe City, so what? Where did this person escape to after killing Zhang Jing? We have no idea.

Luo Da, if it really doesn't work, we still have to start from the Yonghe City bus station to find out where this person has fled to."

Luo Rui kept staring at the appraisal report without saying a word, as if he was lost in some thought.

"Mr. Luo?" Fang Yonghui called again.

Lin Chen teased, "Director Luo? You don't believe this result, do you? Or have you just not figured it out?"

At this time, Luo Rui's eyes lit up slightly. After glancing at them, he asked, "What do you think, is this person in Yuncheng Prison Lei Xiaojun? Could it be that he...impersonated Lei Xiaojun's identity?"

Hearing this, Lin Chen and the other two instantly opened their eyes wide, as if they were about to grow a brain...
