Serious Case Tracking

Chapter 4 The Strange Will
The detailed autopsy report and the preliminary autopsy results at the scene did not have much difference in the time and cause of the death of the deceased. The time was confirmed to be between 10 and 11 p.m. Fracture, through the analysis of scars on the skull of the deceased, it was determined that the murder weapon was a hammer.

As for the two sets of shoe prints found at the crime scene, the results of laboratory analysis have also been obtained. The two sets of shoe prints are from the same pair of men's leather shoes of size 42, and the owner of the shoes is between 1.75 meters and 1.80 meters tall and weighs about 70. Kilogram.According to the analysis of another set of shoe prints found at the scene that entered the scene from the outside, the owner of the shoes entered the crime scene very calmly and stayed in the living room for a period of time.

The shoe prints that entered the crime scene and the bloody shoe prints left after the crime came from the same pair of shoes. The owner of the shoes entered the crime scene calmly, and Wei Qiuyuan was killed without warning. No traces of prying and chiseling were found on the door of the room at the scene. Based on all the doubts, the conclusion reached directly pointed to the clue of an acquaintance committing the crime.

Although there is still no clue about the identity of the suspect, the scope of the investigation has finally been narrowed.

If an acquaintance commits the crime, and it is a vendetta, it is very reasonable to start the investigation from Wei Qiuyuan's interpersonal relationship. It's too simple.

Because the focus of the case was on acquaintances committing the crime, the investigation first focused on Wei Qiuyuan's four children.

According to preliminary investigation, Wei Qiuyuan opened a store specializing in mahjong products in the city, which was managed by his four children. However, his four children did not live up to expectations. They all lost at the gambling table, so that life was difficult, and they often asked their father Wei Qiuyuan to borrow money to survive.The second daughter, Wei Yannan, lived pretty well at first, and her husband, Huang Lei, had his own company. However, due to the financial crisis, the company went bankrupt and owed a debt. In the end, Wei Qiuyuan paid for the son-in-law to pay back the money.

It can be said that from the perspective of interests, Wei Qiuyuan's four children all have motives for committing crimes, and the reason for this motive is money. After Wei Qiuyuan's death, his inheritance must belong to the four children, which is also the reason for his four children. Things that children need.

Although the motive for committing the crime seems to be valid, there seems to be some problems, that is, the method of the murder. Wei Qiuyuan's death is obviously a vendetta. Although his four children are likely to commit the crime because of profit, but after all That was their biological father, so how could he be so cruel?Almost smashed Wei Qiuyuan's head.And even though they were short of money, Wei Qiuyuan didn't ignore them. Instead, he helped as much as he could. To put it bluntly, their father was their cash machine, so how could they kill their father?Doesn't this mean that they have cut off their own source of income?
Another point is that Sparrow Village is more than 400 kilometers away from the urban area. After getting off the expressway, there is still a section of rugged and difficult mountain road. There must be a means of transportation, so the surveillance video of the highway before and after the incident is the key.

But what about people from the village?But the villagers are grateful to Wei Qiuyuan for making them rich, so who would have such a great hatred for him?
In addition, was the murderer premeditated or impulsive?The scene of the crime was the living room of Wei Qiuyuan's house. I believe that the hammer should not have appeared in that kind of place. No clues were left behind, the whole process of committing the crime was cautious, and the possibility of premeditation was very high.

Premeditated, acquaintances commit the crime, the murderer is a man, vendetta. Although these clues cannot directly point out who the murderer is, they at least point out a direction for the investigation at this stage.

But when the case was being investigated in full swing, the investigator in charge of the investigation in Sparrow Village called, saying that Wei Qiuyuan's four children had a quarrel with the villagers because of the will, and they almost got into a fight, and shouted Said the will was fake, said that the villagers killed Wei Qiuyuan in order to swallow their family's property, clamored to call the police, and asked the police to verify the authenticity of the will.

Hearing the news, Meng Shaohui rushed to Sparrow Village immediately, and saw four angry people in the living room of his eldest son Wei Dongsheng's house.And Wei Qiuyuan's second wife, Feng Yao, was sitting quietly by herself. Besides the five members of the Wei family, there was also a very well-dressed young man who wore glasses and had a briefcase on his lap. It looks like it should be a lawyer who came to announce the will.

After Meng Shaohui revealed his identity, the four angry people immediately surrounded him. You and I shouted excitedly, the voice was not only loud, but also chaotic, so that Meng Shaohui didn't say a word about what they were talking about. listen in.

"Enough!"

Meng Shaohui roared unbearably, and the roar shocked the four of them immediately. They immediately quieted down and stared at Meng Shaohui in a daze.

"Sit down for me first, how can I understand what you are saying when you are arguing like this?" Meng Shaohui scolded angrily.

Seeing the anger on Meng Shaohui's face, the four of them didn't dare to be presumptuous anymore, and immediately returned to their respective seats and sat down, but none of them dared to speak first, they all just looked at Meng Shaohui, as if waiting for him to ask questions.

"You are?" Meng Shaohui walked up to the well-dressed young man and asked.

"I'm a lawyer from Tianzheng Law Firm, and my name is Lan Chengzhi."

As he spoke, the young man took out a business card from his briefcase and handed it to Meng Shaohui.

"Law firm?" Meng Shaohui glanced at the business card and asked, "Wei Qiuyuan's will is in charge of your firm?"

"Yes, Mr. Wei Qiuyuan personally came to our law firm three days ago and entrusted us to be responsible for the distribution of his estate after his death." Lan Chengzhi replied seriously.

"Can I have a look at the will?"

"This..." Lan Chengzhi looked at Wei Qiuyuan's four children with a look of embarrassment.

"Let the police officer see it. Anyway, I have to hand it over to them for appraisal." Wei Dongsheng said coldly.

"That's right, just what you say, a little lawyer, is not enough to convince us that this will is true." Wei Xiluo echoed.

Meng Shaohui took the yellow document paper bag handed over by Lan Chengzhi, and took out the will from it. The content of the will was not printed by computer, but all handwritten.

I, Wei Qiuyuan, now distribute the property I own as follows: the daily affairs and business operations of the mahjong factory in Majong Village are all in the charge of the Majong Village Committee, and my four children are not allowed to interfere.And I own 50% of the shares in the mahjong factory, of which 10% is distributed to my wife Feng Yao for retirement.All my inheritance including cash, bank deposits and real estate will belong to one of my four children, Wei Dongsheng, Wei Yannan, Wei Xiluo and Wei Beigui, after meeting the following conditions.In addition, the remaining 40% of the shares of Mahjong Factory will also be owned by one of my four children after meeting the following conditions, but the shares cannot be transferred or sold to people outside the Wei family or Mahjong Village for life. or sold, the shares in his hands are automatically deemed void, and the Majong Village Committee can unconditionally own all the shares in his hands.

Wei Qiuyuan really considered it thoroughly. The mahjong factory was an industry he had worked so hard to build, and his four children were all addicted to gambling. In order to prevent them from losing money to those who have no money to sell the factory shares in the future, he would waste all his hard work over the years. That's why I explained the shares of the Mahjong Factory in particular. What's more, for any child who holds the shares of the Mahjong Factory in their hands, as long as they don't transfer or sell them, it is undoubtedly equivalent to an extra "long-term meal" ticket".

If my four children want to inherit the property mentioned above, they must find out the secret of "Bird Homing". The time limit is one year. During this period, all properties will be kept by Tianzheng Law Firm.Within one year, if only one of my four children finds out the secret of "Finch Homing", then he can inherit all my inheritance including cash, bank deposits and real estate alone, and also owns 40% of the mahjong factory shares; if two people find it, then my entire estate including cash, bank deposits and real estate will be divided between them on the principle of equal distribution, and the shares of Mahjong Factory can also be owned by each of them 20%; if three people find , all equally distributed as above, and so on.If none of my four children can find out the secret of "Birds Homing" within a year, then all my cash, bank deposits and real estate will be donated to charity by Tianzheng Law Firm. The remaining 40% of the shares in the Mahjong Factory in Mahjong Village that I own are all owned by the Village Committee of Mahjong Village.

"A bird coming home?"

Meng Shaohui searched for the memory of these three words in his mind, because he felt as if he had seen them somewhere.

In particular, within a year of searching for the "birds returning to their nests", my four children are not allowed to leave the sparrow village for half a step. As for daily needs, their families can bring them into the village. The debt payment can be paid by Tianzheng Law Firm from a part of my estate, and I will not be responsible for any debt issues after that.In addition, if one of the four children is found to have left the village without authorization, the person who is found to have left the village will be deemed to have given up the inheritance automatically.The above is the entire content of the will, made by myself, Wei Qiuyuan, and my last wish. I hope that my wife Feng Yao and my four children Wei Dongsheng, Wei Yannan, Wei Xiluo, and Wei Beigui can strictly abide by the content of the will. Wei Qiuyuan, XXXX Year 10 27th.

After reading all the content of the will, Meng Shaohui finally understood why Wei Qiuyuan's four children almost fought with the villagers. Judging from the entire content of the will, it seems that Wei Qiuyuan did not want to hand over the inheritance to the four children easily. more beneficial to the villagers.However, Wei Qiuyuan finally took care of his family, and finally made a special statement to pay off the debts for the four children first.

At this time, Meng Shaohui suddenly remembered that there seemed to be a doggerel engraved on the stone tablet at the entrance of Sparrow Village, and the title of the poem was "The Sparrow Returns to its Nest".
