Serious Crime Unit 1

Chapter 12 The Price of Cheating (2)
"The hostess of Room 402, Lei Fangfei, is Ma Minghua's mahjong friend. She made an appointment with Ma Minghua last night to go to the mahjong parlor to play mahjong together this afternoon. After lunch, Lei Fangfei knocked on Ma Minghua's door. She pressed the button for 5 minutes. No one answered the doorbell, so she called Ma Minghua's phone. Unexpectedly, Ma Minghua's phone rang in the room, but no one answered. She felt it was strange. She and Ma Minghua had known each other for several years, and the two had become silent. The good sister who didn't tell her, to put it harshly, would stop to answer her phone even when Ma Minghua was making out with her husband. She suspected that something might have happened to Ma Minghua, so she leaned down and looked in through the gap between the door legs. When she saw it, she was shocked. A stream of blood flowed from the bedroom to the living room. Of course, the blood had solidified at this time, and I could smell a strong smell of blood, so I called the police immediately."

"Let's go back to the team first." Jiang Yiming thought it might be a Hongxing cheating case. He didn't like this kind of case where people were killed directly with a knife, because the opponent was not clever and had no technical content, but every one Life is worthy of respect. No matter what the case, he must take it seriously. It doesn't matter whether he likes it or not, otherwise he is not a good policeman.

Section No.17: Interviewing Suspicious Persons

Ma Minghua's husband Xiao Qing sat in the reception room of the Criminal Police Team and was questioned by Jiang Yiming. His expression was extremely sad and haggard.

"Do you love Ma Minghua very much?" Jiang Yiming asked.

"of course."

"How much love?"

"Hold it in your mouth for fear of melting, hold it in your hand for fear of flying away."

"Does she love you?"

"What do you mean? Of course she loves me." He was a little unhappy.

"Has she offended anyone? Or does she have any enemies?"

"I don't know. She is laid off and spends most of her time in the mahjong parlor. I am a photographer, running around and very busy. Her life trajectory rarely intersects with mine."

"Where were you on July 7th?"

"I attended a photography awards ceremony at the Binhe Market, and one of my works won the third prize."

"Who can prove it?"

"This meeting is hosted by the Binhe City Photography Association. There are 26 photography enthusiasts from various counties and cities across the province attending the meeting with me. I have their address book here. You can call to check." Xiao Qing said Give this small address book to Jiang Yiming.

"What about the night of the 5th?"

"On the evening of the 5th, my classmate Lu Xiaohua invited me to have dinner at the Crystal Palace Restaurant. We drank and reminisced about old times. We drank until 8 o'clock before going back to the hotel to sleep. Because I drank too much, I slept until the next morning."

"Where do you live?"

“Room 1808, River View Hotel.”

"Okay, let's talk about this today. If you find anything new, please call me." Jiang Yiming handed Xiao Qing a business card and asked him to go home.

At this time, Wu Jiang and Zuo Li came back from the outside investigation. Seeing their relaxed and happy appearance, they must have gained something. Zuo Li sat down and deliberately sighed and said: "Alas, it's all in vain again."

"Then why are you still sitting here? Find clues quickly." Jiang Yiming said with a deliberately cold face.

"Zuo Li, don't be ridiculous. Captain Jiang, through our investigation of Lei Fangfei, she said that Ma Minghua has a lover named Luo An, who is the deputy director of the Municipal Construction Bureau. I know this man. He is a wealthy owner who often hangs out. He belongs to the upper class and is said to have a promising future. This person is 1.65 meters tall, which matches the size 39 shoe print we extracted from the scene. We also conducted a survey on the residents of Quanyuan Community. Neighbors said that they occasionally saw Luo An and Ma Minghua having sex. Yes, I think this Luo An is suspicious, how about we send him in for questioning?" Wu Jiang asked.

When they detained Luo An for interrogation, they were more cautious and tried to avoid attracting outside attention. Firstly, there was no conclusive evidence, and secondly, they considered his future. It is not easy for the country to train a cadre.

When Luo An was brought in, his expression was surprised, confused, uneasy, and innocent. However, he quickly calmed down. After all, he had been in the officialdom until he was 38 years old, and he had the restraint to remain calm in times of crisis.

Luo An answered truthfully some of the non-core questions. Jiang Yiming was not optimistic about this, because the calmer his opponent was, the harder it was to get a true confession from him.

Jiang Yiming asked: "Luo An, do you know why you are invited here?"

"How do I know? I still want to ask you!"

"Do you know Ma Minghua?"

"We know each other, what's wrong?" Luo An was stunned for a moment and said.

"What is your relationship?"

"We are just friends. She is a mahjong player I met at the mahjong parlor during the Lantern Festival this year. What do you mean? You won't suspect that I killed Ma Minghua, right? You must have evidence. I am a national cadre trained by the Communist Party. You You can't doubt me for no reason, you have to be responsible." Luo An acted condescending and innocent.

Jiang Yiming smiled and deliberately relaxed his tone: "I don't doubt that you killed Ma Minghua, but according to our investigation, we found that your relationship with Ma Minghua is extraordinary. Since you are a state cadre, you shouldn't hide anything from us."

"Those are the rumors of some talkative women. Do you believe them?" Luo An was a little anxious.

"Okay, since you don't admit this fact, let's change the topic. Where were you from 7pm on July 5th to 10am on July 7th?" "I kept watching TV at home that night and went to bed at 6:1. I'll sleep until 10 o'clock the next day, and then go to the bureau to work after breakfast." He answered very simply, as if he already had a plan in mind.

"What show are you watching?"

"Watch episodes 8 to 3 of Part 4 of CCTV 6's TV series "Detective Detective Di Renjie."

"Who can prove it?"

"My wife, oh, and my son." Luo An said firmly.

"Tell me about the plot of the TV series."

Luo An was very eloquent and spoke vividly about the TV plot. He spent nearly half an hour describing it, and the result was similar to the plot of episodes 3 to 4 of Part 6 of "Detective Detective Dee"... Of course, this doesn't mean anything, Luo An can Buy the DVD of "Detective Di Renjie" before committing a crime or after committing a crime.

Jiang Yiming asked Luo An to see if there were any problems with the transcript. Luo An read it, said there was no problem, signed it, and walked out with relief.

No.18 The suspicious man’s wife
Zuo Li asked Jiang Yiming: "Captain Jiang, do you think there is anything wrong with him?"

"what do you say?"

"I think he is a playboy, especially his eyes, which shine like a pervert."

"Have you ever seen a pervert? Have you ever been molested?"

"Fuck you, I think you look like a big pervert." Zuo Li thought of the woman driving the BMW and felt a little sad.

"Okay, let's get down to business. There should be something wrong with Luo An, but we can't confirm it until we investigate. Let's go and get to work. Let's go meet Luo An's wife."

Luo An's wife is Zhang Fang, who works as a doctor in a private hospital. She is 36 years old. She is a woman with neither appearance nor figure. Although her face has been modified with high-end cosmetics, it still cannot make up for her old age and haggardness. She looks like she is in her 40s. It stands to reason that a family like theirs should live a good life, but why is she so old?And there is a hint of melancholy between the eyebrows?Jiang Yiming called her into an empty office. Zhang Fang was not surprised, but this made them feel strange.

Zhang Fang asked them first: "What do you want from me?"

"Do you know where your husband was on the night of July 7th?"

"He's watching TV with me at home, what's wrong?" She said calmly.

"Does your husband socialize a lot?"

"Of course there are more. Although he is a deputy director, the chief director has liver disease, so he is responsible for most of the dinners and banquets."

"Then how come he has time to watch TV with you all night?" Jiang Yiming looked at her intently.

Zhang Fang's expression suddenly felt a little unnatural, and she hurriedly said: "To be precise, he is not watching it with me, but he loves it. He has watched "Detective Di Renjie" 1 to 3, and he wants to watch more."

"After watching "Detective Detective Dee", what else did you watch on TV?"

"After reading it, we washed up and went to bed."

"Is there anything missing from your house recently?" Wu Jiang suddenly asked.

"No, why do you ask?"

"Really? Where are the crocodile leather shoes your husband is wearing?" Wu Jiang sneered.

Zhang Fang was stunned for a moment, shocked, and then said as if waking up from a dream: "Oh, my husband's leather shoes were stolen by a thief half a month ago. Thank you for reminding me. How did you know that our leather shoes were lost?"

"This is our secret, no comment."

They walked out of the hospital, and Zuo Li asked Wu Jiang: "Old Wu, how did you know that Luo An's family lost their leather shoes?"

"I lied to her. One of the shoe prints we extracted from the scene was a crocodile brand leather shoe. These shoes cost more than 2000 yuan a pair. According to the theory, only wealthy people like Luo An would buy them. This is also consistent with the shoe rack in his home. The size of his shoes matched. If he had been to the scene, he would have thrown away the shoes. By the time we came to investigate, Zhang Fang and Luo An had already confessed. When we asked about Luo An’s leather shoes, she would definitely say they were stolen. The thief stole away, but I didn’t expect that she would fall into my trap immediately.”

"Haha, Old Wu, I didn't expect you to be so smart. In 100 years, you will definitely be the Secretary-General of the United Nations that you dream of." Zuo Li joked.

They all agreed that Luo An and Zhang Fang colluded in the confession, but they could not find evidence to prove this.
