Serious Crime Unit 1

Chapter 350 The destroyed little flower (6)
"Have you ever been to Li Xiang's bedroom before 8 o'clock in the morning on August 15?"

"No, why should I go to her bedroom?" After saying that, he suddenly got up and ran out.

Zhu Gang thought he was going to run away, so he caught him and shouted loudly: "If you still want to run away, do you believe I will beat you up?"

"Ah ah ah, officer, I didn't run away. It's raining. I have to collect the quilt..." Ma Zhengcai's hand was twisted by Zhu Gang and he screamed.

"You are not allowed to go anywhere. Getting the quilt wet is a small matter, but killing someone is a big deal. It will kill you..." Zhu Gang pushed Ma Zhengcai smoothly and asked him to sit on the bedside to answer the question.

At this time, Wu Jiang found a pair of size 39 leather shoes from Ma Zhengcai's kitchen. There was no brand. They were probably made by handmade shoemakers on the street. The pattern on the soles was exactly the same as the prints of one of the shoes on the scene. Wu Jiang came to him and asked: "Are these shoes yours?"

"Yeah, I've been wearing these shoes for three years. What happened to these shoes?"

"Are you sure you didn't go to Li Xiang's bedroom in the days before 8 o'clock in the morning on August 15th?"

"Yes, I've definitely never been there!"

"But after comparison, the sole pattern of this pair of shoes is exactly the same as one of the shoe prints we had at the scene of Li Xiang's death. How do you explain it?" Wu Jiang asked unhurriedly.

Ma Zhengcai's eyes rolled in his sockets for a while, then he suddenly patted his head and said, "Oh, I remembered it. On the morning of August 8, Li Xiang met me on the road and told me that the energy-saving lamp in her bedroom had burned out. , asked me to help her change a new light, and I ran to help her install the light without saying a word, so there must be my shoe prints in her bedroom."

"Why didn't you admit to going to her bedroom just now?"

"Isn't this... Li Xiang dead? I'm afraid that you will doubt me, and I'm afraid of being wronged, so it's better to do one less thing than one more thing." Ma Zhengcai said softly, for fear that if he spoke too loudly, he would be kicked and punched. After all, I had raped Li Xiang, so it was normal for the police to beat me.

"You're talking nonsense! Li Xiang was raped by you and hates you so much that she will come and ask you, a beast, to help her change the light bulb?" Zhu Gang said loudly.

"This is absolutely true. If you don't believe me, you can go check it out. Don't you have some fingerprint identification method? If you see if there are my fingerprints on the light bulb, you can prove whether I am telling the truth."

"No, even if the light bulb has your fingerprints, it doesn't prove that you are telling the truth. After you kill Li Xiang, you can replace the light bulb in her bedroom with the light bulb you prepared in advance. We don't believe your trick." Zhu Gang stared at Looking at him, his heavy eyes made Ma Zhengcai unable to lift his head.

"Then I have nothing to do. You want to sentence me to death, so I have to admit it. My life is not worth anything anyway. I can take it away at any time." Ma Zhengcai looked pitiful.

"Where were you from the night of August 8th to the early morning of August 14th?" Wu Jiang felt that what Ma Zhengcai said might be true, so he asked from a different angle.

"Oh, I remembered it. On the afternoon of August 8, I went to the city to get medicine. My blood sugar was very high. I had been taking medicine for many years. When I stopped taking medicine, I felt dizzy. I slept in a hotel in the mountains at night. I won't go home until the evening of the next day. If you don't believe me, you can go investigate." He seemed to have suddenly grasped a life-saving straw.

"Okay, we will confirm it. If you lie, we have the right to detain you." Wu Jiang said.

"Police officer, this is a matter of life and death. How dare I deceive you?" Ma Zhengcai deliberately avoided Zhu Gang and looked at Wu Jiang and said confidently.

Wu Jiang extracted Ma Zhengcai's fingerprints and shoe prints. Then everyone came out of Ma Zhengcai's house and went to Li Xiang's bedroom. They folded down the light bulb on the ceiling. Che Xiaolin took out iron powder to paint his fingerprints, and sure enough, Li Xianghe was found on the light bulb. Ma Zhengcai's fingerprints, however, cannot be used as alibi.

After everyone returned to the county town, Che Xiaolin and Chen Li went to the Shanliren Hotel to check the surveillance video. The results proved that Ma Zhengcai was indeed sleeping in the hotel at the time of Li Xiang's death. Therefore, his suspicion was eliminated.

Zhu Gang led everyone to continue to visit and investigate in Shuimen Village. The two groups worked for three days, and even visited households at night. Because many villagers went to work in the mountains during the day and went home at night, the visits at night were more accurate and missed. There are very few people, unless the suspect absconds after committing a crime.

They went door to door and asked every villager, hoping that someone had seen the murderer entering Li Xiang's home. However, after interviewing more than half of the villagers, no one saw the suspicious person entering Li Xiang's home.They extracted the shoe prints of the interviewees in the hope of identifying the suspect. Since the shoe prints at the scene were owned by men, they only extracted the male shoe prints, thus reducing the workload.

Because among the four suspicious shoe prints, two people have been excluded, one is Li Fengshu and the other is Ma Zhengcai.There are only two other suspected shoe prints that have not been found, one pair is size 41 slippers and one pair is size 44 Playboy leather shoes. Because there are still 20 households that have not been investigated, it is not certain whether the suspect is from the village.

Size 41 slippers are not branded shoes. There are no less than 20000 manufacturers of such slippers in the country, and there may be several in one county, because as long as there are shoe molds, they can be produced, and the wholesale price of the shoes will not be higher than 20 yuan. , especially popular among middle-aged and elderly people. There are so many manufacturers of this kind of slippers that the computer database cannot compare them.Therefore, it makes their investigation more difficult.

Of course, the print on this pair of shoes is unique, that is, the soles are so worn that the original pattern can hardly be seen, especially the heels, which are even more worn and almost worn through.It stands to reason that this kind of shoes has been thrown away by the owner long ago.And the suspect still wore it when entering the scene. It can be seen that the suspect is a person with a poor financial foundation and should be an elderly person. Today's young people will not be so self-conscious, and they will not buy such tacky slippers to wear.Of course, this is just a common sense analysis, and it cannot be certain that it is middle-aged and elderly people.

On the afternoon of August 8, after Wu Jiang, Che Xiaolin and Chen Li finished visiting a house, they walked out of Yangdao Lane. A passenger tricycle stopped beside them. A child and an elderly person got out of the car. The child He quickly jumped into the arms of his mother who was waiting on the roadside. After the old man got out of the car, he saw three policemen and was stunned for a moment. His surprise did not escape Wu Jiang's eyes.

Wu Jiang saw that he was wearing an old slipper and was about 1.75 meters tall, so he stopped him and said, "Uncle, are you from this village?"

He nodded and wanted to walk away, but Wu Jiang refused to let him go: "What's your name?"

"Oh, my name is Luo Xiaoqiu." His expression was unnatural, as if he was afraid of something.

"Where do you live? Can we go sit at your house for a while? There are some things we want to ask you."

"This... this... can you please call the door manager here too?" He seemed to think that Men Deqing would not suffer any disadvantage if he was present.

"Director Gate has gone to the township government for a meeting. This is a routine visit for us. Don't worry. Every household has to accept our inquiries. If you don't believe me, you can ask your relatives, friends and neighbors." Wu Jiang persuaded patiently.

"Okay, my home is at No. 14 Yangdao Lane, come with me."

Luo Xiaoqiu was about 65 years old. One time, his wife and son were riding into the city by car. The car rolled over from the top of the mountain into a 128-meter-deep ravine. All five people in the car were killed. He was already 5 years old at that time. He was already in poor health. , this blow caused his liver disease to relapse. From then on, his life was extremely difficult, let alone remarriage.

Over the years, his health has been up and down. When he was in good times, he tended the fields, planted some rice and vegetables, and transported the extra vegetables to the market to sell. He could barely have enough food and clothing. However, when he was 55 years old, after research by the village committee, he It was decided that he would be included in the five-guarantee household, with an annual income of more than 3000 yuan, which increased year by year. By 2015, it had exceeded 6000 yuan. This was his only source of income.

Luo Xiaoqiu lives in a bungalow with a brick and wood structure, which was newly built with funding from the township civil affairs office and the government. Although it is not big, it is spacious enough for one person to live in. The room is clean and tidy, and the farm tools and cooking utensils are placed in an orderly manner. It can be seen that he is a passionate person. As a man of life, illness and the loss of his wife and children cannot defeat him.

After the two parties sat down, Wu Jiang's eyes were erratic, as if a disaster was imminent. Was there something wrong with him?Most people don't feel so uneasy about interacting with the police.

Wu Jiang asked him to take off his slippers and show him, and he did so.Wu Jiang turned the slippers over and observed the sole pattern. This was a pair of size 41 slippers, made of inferior plastic. Its size was the same as the size 3 41 shoe print at the scene, but the sole pattern was different and the degree of wear was also different. The difference is that Wujiang has been engaged in trace inspection for 21 years. It can be judged that the shoes are not suspected slippers without comparing photos of shoe prints.

"We passed by your door the day before yesterday and saw that your door was locked. Where have you been these past few days?" Wu Jiang's tone was very soft, completely opposite to Zhu Gang's style.A good questioning tone and method may allow the suspect to relax and answer questions more clearly.

"Oh, I went to the city. My brother's daughter married a city man. Her child was one month old. I went to drink the full moon wine."

"On what day did you leave Watergate Village?"

"The day before yesterday, that is, August 8th."

"Li Xiang is dead, did you know?"

"I know, the whole village knows."

"Have you been to Li Xiang's house before 8 a.m. on August 15?"

"No, why would I go to her if we are not related to each other?" He answered calmly, as if he had thought up the lines as an actor. This made Wu Jiang feel something was wrong, because he had never answered so calmly before.

"Uncle Luo, you are supported by the state. You must tell the truth. Concealing the truth is against the law. Those who break the law will be revoked from the state's support."

"Every word I say is true and will definitely stand the test of time."
