Same crime

Chapter 119

Three years ago, at around one o'clock in the morning on a certain summer day, a group of young people who had just vented their energy from a karaoke bar stood drunkenly on the side of the street and stretched out their hands to hail a taxi.Because it was late at night, these people didn't look like they were easy to mess with. A few passing taxis stepped on the accelerator, and no one paid any attention to them.

After waiting for half an hour, Zhang, who lives nearby, finally sent everyone away, and then wandered back.

Zhang has two ways to go home from here. One needs to climb over the overpass and walk for about 5 minutes; the other needs to pass through an abandoned construction site, and the exit is the gate of the community.This construction site was originally the third phase of the community project. Because the developer lost all the construction funds in Macau gambling, and people ran away, the construction period was postponed. After stopping for three years, the land has been so deserted that no one cares about it.

Gradually, in order to take a shortcut, many people directly removed a few baffles around the construction site, and forcibly stepped on a few new roads among the overgrown weeds. In summer, not only are there more grass and mosquitoes, but also many people defecate, pee, and throw garbage here, and the inside is stench.Gradually, people are unwilling to go from here, and would rather go around and climb the overpass.

Zhang drank too much, feeling drunk, and just wanted to go home early to sleep. When faced with the choice of the way home, he gave up the option of the overpass, and decided to walk straight back to the community from the abandoned construction site.

Just like that, enduring the pungent stench, he walked unsteadily across the grass. After a while, he felt covered in mosquitoes and itched, so he quickened his pace.

As he was walking, he suddenly stopped and kicked something soft, almost tripping him. He turned on the flashlight of his mobile phone and bent over to check it cursingly. It didn't matter, it scared his drunk It's time to break up.

It was a black plastic bag with its mouth open. When the bag was opened, there was a pungent smell of blood. The inside was full of pieces of meat, dripping with blood.He originally thought it was a piece of meat discarded by a vendor in the nearby vegetable market, but when he saw a sudden hand, he immediately understood what it was. He quickly took two steps back, fell to the ground, and called the police trembling.

The police sent out late at night and sealed off the scene. After investigation, it was found that this was a sensational corpse dismemberment case. The deceased Xie was a young girl in her youth. The murderer killed the girl with extremely cruel means and chopped her body into pieces. After that, they were thrown in several places in Zhangzhou, which cast a terrible shadow on Zhangzhou at that time, and the social impact was extremely bad.

The case has been investigated for about a month. Although some evidence has been obtained, there has been no substantial progress.

After listening to Qin Zhengzheng's narration, Gong Yuezhao frowned, and cursed "pervert". She couldn't even eat the pot of grapes on the table, and pushed it far away from herself.

Qin Zhengzheng said: "I also heard about this case in Suijiang at the time, and discussed it with my police school classmate who worked in Zhangzhou. He told me that the Zhangzhou police quickly got a concrete idea of ​​the suspect. They identified the suspect as a middle-aged male with a height of 170 centimeters and a fat body, but at this time, as other bags of body parts were found one after another, trace investigators and forensic doctors successively discovered Items that belonged to different people and did not belong to the deceased himself, the case began to fall into difficulties at this time, the police believed that the perpetrator was not just one person, but a gang, the number of gangs is unknown."

"Before that, didn't you leave any DNA or something like that?" Gong Yuechao asked

Qin Zhengzheng shook his head, "The surface of the corpse has been thoroughly cleaned, and several murderers have teamed up to decompose the corpse. The murderer's modus operandi is very meticulous, and there is no comparison of the evidence left behind to produce any results."

"What about surveillance?" Gong Yuechao had studied anti-reconnaissance for revenge before, and he was very professional step by step.

"Several burial sites are not equipped with monitoring. Before they committed the crime, they should have stepped on it."

"No wonder."

Qin Zhengzheng continued: "However, the Zhangzhou police have never given up on solving this case these years. When I was working on the archives, I went through the case file thoroughly. I think there are still many details worth deliberating. Team Li and I After the discussion, Captain Li said that they had already thought of what I said at the time, but after a long time, there were many things, and I didn't have time to think about this case."

"Then does this case have anything to do with what you said before?" Gong Yuechao asked.

Qin Zhengzheng paused while speaking, frowned and thought for a while, before saying: "Yes, it is precisely because of this that I want to bring these two cases together and let outsiders analyze them for me."

"Okay, tell me." Gong Yuechao became curious.

"The thing is like this." Qin Zhengzheng said: "A few days ago, a worker who was carrying out afforestation in the rainy season in Xingwang Mountain, Nanwan Town, Nanbin District, was driving a hook machine to level the land. For the spoiled body parts, because the scene was destroyed, we can only hope for an autopsy. As a result, the corpse is highly corrupted, and it is only a part of the body. Now it is difficult to determine the source of the corpse, so... we have been doing it for a while. Working overtime for this case." He pursed his lips, looking very helpless, "We are still at a loss."

"So you think this dismemberment case is related to the last dismemberment case?"

Qin Zhengzheng nodded and agreed with Gong Yuechao's statement, "This is just a small idea of ​​mine, but in fact the two cases have too little connection with each other, and I have no evidence to prove that they are committed by the same person. No body parts have been found."

"Wait." Gong Yuechao interrupted Qin Zhengzheng's words, as delicate and sensitive as him, frowned and thought for a while, then asked, "You mean Xingwang Mountain in Nanwan Town?"

"Yes." Qin Zhengzheng opened his eyes wide, and asked Gong Yuechao curiously, hoping to get some inspiration from him, "Teacher, do you have any clues?"

Gong Yuechao took out his mobile phone from his pocket, waved his hands at Qin Zhengzheng, and said, "Don't talk, I'll call Gu Ming and ask a question."

Qin Zhengzheng was quiet, waiting for Gong Yuechao to call.

Gong Yuechao said a few words to the phone, and then paid attention to what the other party was saying. After a while, the call ended, and after hanging up the phone, he said to Qin Zhengzheng: "The person we went today is called Xie Pingyuan, mainly I want to buy his quarry as the site for the production line of environmentally friendly building materials. We just talked about things at the Nanwan Town Government. We haven’t had time to visit the quarry. We originally made an appointment on Friday morning, but you Having said that today, I asked Gu Ming again, and he said that the site of the Pingyuan quarry is at the foot of the south side of Xingwang Mountain."

Qin Zhengzheng didn't seem to understand what Gong Yuechao said. Just as he was about to ask his own question, he suddenly thought that the victim who took up the case three years ago was also surnamed Xie.Only then did he understand what he was doing. He stood up abruptly, walked to the door, and rushed out after taking his bag.

Gong Yuechao chased after him and grabbed him, asking: "It's late at night, why are you going?"

"I'll go back to the police station. You're talking about me...I have to go back and see what the name of the victim's family is. I didn't pay much attention to this at the beginning."

Gong Yuechao took off his bag and hung it on the hanger at the door, and said slowly: "You understand what I mean, but this is just our inference, there is no evidence at all, so don't be impulsive."

Qin Zhengzheng's hot-blooded personality that can't calm down just complements Gong Yuechao's mature, steady but somewhat meek temperament. He stood still and looked at Gong Yuechao's smiling face, because he was hit by some clue. The beating heart suddenly calmed down.

"It was originally a matter of no interest, and maybe it was just a coincidence. If the family members took notes at the time and you read the entire case file, then I mentioned that you are not very familiar with the name Xie Pingyuan, but suddenly I thought of this, and it's just a coincidence." I just wanted to offer you a possibility." Gong Yuechao took his hand and sat back in the living room, patiently talking to him in detail.

"Hmm, I probably know what you mean. The victim in that case three years ago was named Xie, and the victim in this case was found near the quarry in Xie Pingyuan, so you think this matter is related."

"Yes." Gong Yuechao nodded. "Tomorrow, you can go to see the names of the family members of the victims in the case three years ago. In addition, you should also ask the forensic doctor about the approximate time of the burial case a few days ago. In fact, the two may have nothing to do with each other, but we just think about it."

"You are so reasonable." Qin Zhengzheng threw himself into Gong Yuechao's arms with a smile, "Teacher, you are really amazing, thank you."

"You also helped me a lot. It just so happens that I'm going to see what Xie Pingyuan wants in the next few days."

This was an irrelevant matter, and Gong Yuechao was unwilling to connect the matter, but there was something involved in the dark, which made him have to think about it.

Feng Pei's work efficiency was very high, and when he came to pick him up for work the next day, he handed some things about Xie Pingyuan that he checked last night to Gong Yuechao.While listening to the soothing music, Gong Yuechao flipped through Feng Pei's neat handwriting, and found some problems after turning two pages: "Xie Pingyuan's real name is actually Xie Xin?" He asked doubtfully.

Feng Pei nodded and said, "Xie Pingyuan is a bit superstitious. He has many elements, gold and soil, and there is gold in his name, so he gave himself an alias. Friends and colleagues are used to calling him that. , In fact, he ignored that the name of his ID card is Xie Xin." Feng Pei continued to explain what he had recorded, "Not long after the accident in his quarry, he divorced his original wife, and later claimed that the original wife took his daughter to go abroad Yes. When he was at a loss for compensation, a rich woman helped him pay the money, and he has been working as a husband for that rich woman and helping her with business. The two have a good relationship. Until last year, rich woman Divorced her husband, he remarried with a rich woman, and the two of them went for test-tube babies, and they just had a son a while ago, and now they are living a happy life, not short of money." Feng Pei opened it and took out his mobile phone Handed it to Gong Yuechao, "In the photo album are photos of him with his ex-wife, daughter, current wife, and son."

Gong Yuechao opened the photo album, and there were two photos in it. Xie Pingyuan's daughter was very similar to him. She was a gentle lady, and her ex-wife had gentle eyebrows.On the other hand, the rich woman is a bit forceful, holding her son and snuggling in his arms doesn't have the tenderness of a little woman.

"Tsk tsk tsk, this person is really..." Gong Yuechao returned the phone to Feng Pei. He couldn't agree with Xie Pingyuan's view of feelings, but he was driven to the point of desperation. It's understandable.Gong Yuechao was thinking about how to communicate with him, especially when the other party was not short of money.He suddenly thought of what happened to Qin Zhengzheng last night. Today, when he saw Xie Pingyuan's information, he knew that the thoughts and ideas he had provided might be useless, and he felt a little regretful.

Feng Pei didn't go to Nanwan Town with them yesterday, so he asked Gong Yuechao why he was looking for this.

Gong Yuechao came back to his senses, talked briefly to Feng Pei, and sighed, "The most troublesome thing is that this person is not short of money. It's a headache for him to keep refusing to lower the price."

"Checking this won't change anything."

"That's right." Gong Yuechao put the materials into his bag and said, "But at least we understand him, let's take it one step at a time. If it doesn't work, we'll choose another place. Brother Cheng pushed me to the front of this matter. I won't be able to back down anymore, when I get to the company, I will discuss with Brother Cheng and Brother Ming how to proceed."

Gong Yuechao looked out the window, the breakfast in early autumn, the air was refreshing, the sky was high and the clouds were light, and it was spotless.

This would be a good start, Gong Yuezhao thought.
