Serious Crime Unit 1

Chapter 359 The insulted old man (3)
"I have been running a business for 23 years. I don't know the situation of the villagers, so I dare not doubt anyone... I hope you can catch the murderer as soon as possible so that my mother can be buried in peace as soon as possible. I will sponsor 10 yuan to give it to you Half a month, otherwise the sponsorship will be forfeited.”

Zhu Gang looked down on wealthy people like him: "Our case handling funds are paid by the state, so we don't have to worry about Mr. Yang. Of course, Mr. Yang is a taxpayer, and you have already paid for us. But it is unreasonable and unscientific to set a time for the criminal police to handle the case. Yes, handling the case relies on the efforts of the criminal police and luck. If you are lucky, it can be solved in a few days. If not, it may take decades. After 28 years of unremitting efforts by the Chinese criminal police, the Baiyin City serial rape and murder case has been solved today. We just arrested the criminal suspect Gao Chengyong, you should have seen today’s headlines, right?”

At this time, Yang Xiong answered a phone call. After he hung up the phone, he told Zhu Gang that something was urgent and he had to leave. He would come back in a few days to inquire about the progress of the case.Zhu Gang waved his hand to let him go.It can be seen that Yang Xiong did not really take Wang Lili's death to heart.

Zhu Gang suddenly had an idea: Will Yang Xiong kill Wang Lili in order to get rid of her burden?
Che Xiaolin had already driven Wu Jiang and the others to Kaoshan Village. Zhu Gang did not go with them because he was hosting Yang Xiong. After closing the door of his office, he drove to Kaoshan Village alone.

A group of Wu Jiang and Che Xiaolin, and a group of Chen Li, Xiao Ke and Lu Yingying, visited the mountain village in the hope that someone would see the murderer entering the scene at the time of the crime.

Wu Jiang and Che Xiaolin came to Wu Derong's home. They needed Wu Derong's cooperation. Wu Derong was less than 40 years old. He was of medium height, chubby, and had lost half of his hair, especially his forehead, which was almost barren.The skin color is dull and yellowish, as if he is a patient with liver disease.He is a very straightforward person and has a bad drinking ability, but he dares to fight hard and never admits defeat.

"Officer Wu, I heard from my father yesterday that there might be a Xuande incense burner in Wang Lili's house, and the thief should be targeting the incense burner."

"Oh?" Wu Jiang also likes to read books collecting antique cultural relics in his spare time. He has a friend who is a very magical collector. He once told Wu Jiang about the origin and price of Xuande: Xuande furnace is the first time in Chinese history to use yellow Brassware made of copper.This exquisite copper furnace was personally supervised by Emperor Xuande of the Ming Dynasty, which is extremely rare in history.

Xuande furnace uses color as the highlight and the base color blends in.This Xuande furnace is made of brass, with "Xuande Year of the Ming Dynasty" written on the bottom in regular script. The furnace body is regular in shape, honest and yet smart and delicate. It is quite elegant as a study display.Use it to burn incense, and the heaviness of hundreds of years of history will overflow with the incense, showing the purity and sophistication of the copper furnace.The current auction price is more than 500 million yuan.

But Wu Jiang believes that it is unlikely that there is an authentic Xuande stove in this remote area. If there is, it has long been in the hands of famous people or on the international market. However, even imitations are very precious. The exquisite ones cost several hundred thousand yuan, and the rough ones cost several hundred thousand yuan. A little bit costs tens of thousands of yuan.If Wang Lili had counterfeit goods hidden in her home and were seen by outsiders, she would probably hire a thief to steal them.

Wu Jiang didn't quite believe what Wu Derong said. He thought Wu Derong might have heard wrongly, so he went to Wu Derong's father to confirm that his father lived with Wu Derong's eldest brother in the last house on the top floor of the village. The house was new. It is built, very spacious and bright, and the decoration is fashionable and gorgeous. It is very different from the mud houses at the bottom of the village.

Wu Derong's father's name is Wu Xueming. I heard that he attended a private school and was considered a cultural person in the village. He had been the village secretary for 30 years.He is 76 years old this year, but he is still in good spirits, with sharp ears and eyesight, and clear thinking. This is beyond Wu Jiang's expectation.

"Uncle Wu, let's ask you something." Wu Jiang sat opposite him. Wu Xueming was weaving a bamboo basket with bamboo strips. He put down the bamboo strips in his hand and nodded to Wu Jiang.

"I heard that Wang Lili has a Xuande furnace hidden in her home, right?" Wu Jiang said a little louder, fearing that he wouldn't hear.

"I also heard from others that I have never seen this copper furnace before."

"Where did you hear this from? Can you tell me the situation? This will be very helpful for us to solve the case." In order to express his sincerity, Wu Jiang moved the small stool forward a little.

"I heard what Wang Zhongwen said, but I don't know if it's true. Wang Lili was very beautiful when she was young. Every capable person in the village wanted to fall in love with her, and Wang Zhongwen was no exception..."

"Uncle Wu, wait a minute, who is Wang Zhongwen? Where is he from?"

"Oh, he is from the same village and is two years older than me. He was a tomb robber when he was young. He was very courageous. He often went to cemeteries alone to rob tombs. He never sold the stolen antiques and hid them all in a secret cave. During the Cultural Revolution, the Red Guards arrested him for interrogation and ordered him to tell where he hid the antiques. He insisted that there were no antiques and that it was others who slandered him.

The Red Guards became so angry that they broke one of his legs and forced him to confess, but he refused to admit it. Finally, they released him home because there was no evidence.

"After the reform and opening up, the antique market gradually became active. Wang Zhongwen would bring one or two antiques to sell from time to time and earn a lot of money. He was the first in the village in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation. He felt that he was the most capable of seducing Wang Lili.

"So we started to take action. Because Wang Lili's husband was relatively cowardly, and Wang Zhongwen was tall, handsome, and generous, he finally coaxed Wang Lili into bed and became his mistress. By this time, they were already in their 50s, but Wang Lili Still as young as 30 years old, Wang Zhongwen is very obsessed with her.

"However, something happened later and they completely severed their relationship. It turned out that Wang Zhongwen entrusted a Xuande furnace to Wang Lili for safekeeping. Because the copper furnace was extremely valuable, Wang Zhongwen was afraid that it would be stolen by others, and even suffered death for it. Robbery is possible. "Because Wang Zhongwen found that he was being followed every time he entered the mountains, he had to be on guard.However, two years later, when Wang Zhongwen asked Wang Lili to return the Xuande furnace, Wang Lili immediately turned against him and said that he had never given the Xuande furnace to her for safekeeping.

"Wang Zhongwen couldn't stand the fact that she had embezzled his Xuande furnace, so he went to her house with a knife to kill Wang Lili. However, Wang Lili's son Yang Xiong knocked him to the ground, stepped on his face, and told him not to harass his mother again. Otherwise, hit him every time you see him.

"Yang Xiong has a good relationship with the police and secretary in the town, and there are a group of gangsters who call him brothers in the society. Wang Zhongwen is old and frail, and all his children have pustules. Therefore, he is no match for Yang Xiong in any aspect. He had no choice but to tolerate it.

"From then on, Wang Zhongwen never looked as rich and wealthy as before. As he got older, his anger gradually disappeared. This is probably what I know."

Wu Xueming picked up an old tea cup with the words "Agriculture Learn from Dazhai" written in red paint, took a sip of water, and then wiped his mouth.

"Uncle Wu, do you think Wang Lili will swallow Wang Zhongwen's Xuande furnace?"

"Nine times out of ten, Wang Zhongwen told me that someone offered him 10 yuan to buy his Xuande stove. Think about it, 30 yuan 10 years ago is equivalent to more than 100 million now. In the face of huge interests, the relationship between men and women That emotion is as light as bamboo film. I heard that Yang Xiong sold the copper furnace and started to build a factory in the city. "

Wu Jiang was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Yang Xiong, as a member of the Standing Committee of the County CPPCC, had made his fortune by eating black money. Of course, this was just a one-sided statement that Wu Xueming heard from Wang Zhongwen, and it was not credible.If Wang Lili was really killed by Wang Zhongwen, then Wang Lili died for Yang Xiong: "Uncle Wu, do you think Wang Zhongwen will kill Wang Lili because of this?"

"I don't dare to say this nonsense. It is difficult to know the heart of a person."

"There are no outsiders here, and everything you say will be kept confidential. This is our principle, so feel free to say it."

"If anyone cheats me like that, I will definitely remember this hatred for the rest of my life!" Wu Xueming laughed.

"Thank you, Uncle Wu. You have done me a great favor. I will definitely visit Wang Zhongwen at his home after the case is solved." Wu Jiang and Che Xiaolin said goodbye to Wu Xueming. After walking out, they called Wu Derong and prepared to visit Wang Zhongwen at his home.

They came to Wang Zhongwen's house in Wujiang. His family lived in the center of the village. Almost every villager living in the center of the village in China was a great person. At least they were once prosperous, or their ancestors had a unique status, because the growth of the village was all caused by the villagers. The center expands outward.Just like in big cities, wealthy people live in the city center.

Wang Zhongwen lives in a relatively new house. Although the structure is not as beautiful as the current house, someone who built a brick-concrete building more than ten years ago is remarkable.When they approached Wang Zhongwen's home, Wu Derong pointed to an old man chopping firewood at the door and said, "Officer Wu, he is Wang Zhongwen."

When Wu Jiang saw it, he was very surprised. Wang Zhongwen was 78 years old. He raised a big ax high and struck a piece of wood with as much strength as a young man. He roared "hehehehe"... The mountains and rivers here are really nice, and the old people he met are all very healthy.

When Wu Xueming said that Wang Zhongwen might kill Wang Lili, Wu Jiang didn't quite believe that he could break Wang Lili's hyoid bone. Only when he saw Wang Zhongwen did he believe that he had the strength to strangle Wang Lili to death.

Wujiang and the others came to Wang Zhongwen. He was concentrating on chopping firewood. When he saw two policemen looking for him, he quickly put down his ax and asked them to come into the house to talk.

Wang Zhongwen is a tall, thin old man, with wrinkles on his face as deep as tree bark, high cheekbones, slightly pale skin, and a pair of vivid eyes.

"Uncle Wang, we want to know something about Wang Lili from you, and we hope you will cooperate with us." Wu Jiang took the tea cup from Wang Zhongwen and placed it on the coffee table.
