Serious Case Tracking

Chapter 71
The investigation of Wang Wei was finally not in vain. The investigators dug up a key clue. A few years ago, Wang Wei had entered a drug rehabilitation center. According to the records of the drug rehabilitation center, at the same time, Du Ping had also entered the drug rehabilitation center. Been in rehab.The appearance of this clue also surprised Meng Shaohui, and he quickly interrogated Wang Wei in order to make a breakthrough in the case as soon as possible.

"Wang Wei, this is the second time we have talked in the interrogation room, and I hope it will be the last." Meng Shaohui said seriously.

Wang Wei looked up at Meng Shaohui timidly, but didn't speak, as if he still had lingering fears about the scene of being picked up by Meng Shaohui like a chicken.

"This is the record of your last interrogation. There are some things I don't understand. I want to ask you again." Meng Shaohui opened the record, flipped through a few pages, and continued: "You said someone added you QQ, let you do things for him, and then promise to give you a sum of money for drug use, right?"

"Yes, yes." Wang Wei replied in a low voice, but he didn't dare to look up.

"Then let me ask you, how did the other party know your QQ number? And how did they know that you took drugs? Tell me!" Meng Shaohui asked sharply.

"I, I don't know." Wang Wei replied timidly.

"I don't know? What about Du Ping? Don't tell me you don't know him either."

Hearing this, Wang Wei suddenly became nervous, and his body began to tremble slightly.

"Since I can ask you about this, it means that we have enough clues in our hands. The reason why I am asking you now is because of your good performance in the last interrogation, and I want to give you a chance to make meritorious service. As for whether you want it or not, it’s up to you, I’ll give you 3 minutes to think about it.”

After Meng Shaohui finished speaking, he stared at the wall clock on the wall without saying a word. The air in the entire interrogation room seemed to freeze at this moment. The wall clock on the wall made a ticking sound as usual, but at this moment Wang Wei heard it so harshly, the tense atmosphere made his breathing more and more heavy, and beads of sweat from his forehead slid down his cheeks.

"I, I said." Just 2 minutes later, Wang Wei couldn't stand it anymore, and he opened his mouth tremblingly: "Can, can you give me a cigarette?"

Meng Shaohui lit a cigarette and handed it over, Wang Wei took it and quickly took a few puffs, as if this could relieve his inner tension at the moment.

"I hope you can explain the matter completely and thoroughly this time." Meng Shaohui said.

"Definitely, definitely." Wang Wei nodded desperately, "Du Ping and I met in a drug rehabilitation center. Back then I was arrested for taking drugs and sent to a drug rehabilitation center, while he was sent there by his father. "

"Then what about your relationship with Du Ping?"

"It's very iron. We both grew up in single-parent families, and the family conditions are very good. Perhaps because our family backgrounds are relatively similar, we can chat very well. After leaving the drug rehabilitation center, we often eat and drink together. Have fun, and call him a brother."

"How much do you know about Du Ping?"

"Well, we seldom talk about personal matters together. We mostly eat and drink together, pick up girls, take drugs and so on. There is nothing to talk about in private matters at all. I remember one time, it should be the first time his father just passed away. For three days, he treated guests to dinner and went to a five-star hotel. After that, he paid for all the clubs and saunas. I was very curious at the time, where did he suddenly get so much money, because before all his money came from him Dad took it, but after his dad passed away, he lost his source of income. Later, when I was in the sauna, I asked him secretly, and he told me that he found an 'automatic teller machine' and wanted to You can have as much money as you want, but this is a secret, and you can’t tell anyone. Du Ping is like this, he is very tight-lipped, and if he doesn’t want to say it, it’s useless for anyone to ask.”

"Then he disappeared suddenly three years ago. Did he look for you before he disappeared?"

"Yes, I remember it was a night three years ago, probably in March, but I can't remember the exact date. He contacted me that night and said he was staying in a small hotel and told me to immediately I went there. I heard his voice on the phone was very anxious, so I rushed there immediately. When I arrived, I saw that he looked a little flustered, and I asked him what happened. Borrow some money from me and hide outside. I asked him if he found an 'automatic teller machine' before? He said that the man was bankrupt and could no longer give him money. I saw that he was very nervous. I didn’t dare to be negligent, so I scraped together 4 yuan for him overnight. After he got the money, he left me a QQ number, and if he had anything to say, he would leave a message for him. If he was online, he would reply to me. There was no news after that.”

"No audio at all? Then how did the person who added your QQ number know your QQ number, and how did he know that you took drugs? I have given you the opportunity. If you still want to hide something, what are the consequences? What should you do?" Know."

"After he left back then, there was really no news. I didn't lie!" Wang Wei said with an innocent face, "Actually, I have contacted him in these years, and the main reason is to know how he is doing outside. , but I left him a message on QQ, but he never replied to me. Until one day two months ago, he sent a message to my QQ, saying that he introduced someone to me, and said that the other party wanted to ask me for help. After the matter is completed, I will be paid a sum of money, which is to repay the interest of the 4 yuan he borrowed from me. After that, I added the other party according to the QQ number he told me, and you all know what happened next. gone."

"What about Dupin? Where is he now?"

"He didn't say anything, he just told me not to ask too many questions, he said he would promise not to harm me."

"Recall carefully, during the time you knew Du Ping, were you familiar with the name Chen Haitao? Have you ever heard Du Ping say anything about Chen Haitao?"

After thinking for a while, Wang Wei said: "I remembered, this person is Du Ping's father's student, Du Ping had brought him out to play with us several times, and this person paid for it every time, Du Ping Ping said that the relationship between Chen Haitao and him is to take advantage of each other and get what they need."

After the second interrogation of Wang Wei, Meng Shaohui's thoughts on the case became much clearer, and he felt that he had gradually drawn closer to the murderer.

It is not difficult to see from Wang Wei's confession that Du Ping also played a certain role in several cases, and Du Ping and the murderer should have known each other. As for Du Ping's other role in the case besides contacting Wang Wei What kind of role is unknown for the time being.

Another point is the relationship between Du Ping and Chen Haitao. Judging from the time when Du Ping was rich as described by Wang Wei, it is obvious that the source of the money was Chen Haitao, because after Du Maoshan passed away, the only thing left to Du Ping was It is obvious that there is a problem with Du Ping being able to squander so much money without selling the house, and Du Ping also told Wang Wei himself that he found an "automatic teller machine" He could have as much money as he wanted, and besides Chen Haitao, Meng Shaohui really couldn't think of another person who fit this status back then.

The most important thing is the scene that Wang Wei said he saw Du Ping three years ago. According to the time Wang Wei recalled, this time in March coincides with the time when Chen Haitao was killed. From all kinds of suspicious signs, it is not difficult to see that there must be some relationship between him and Chen Haitao's murder, or he is the real murderer of Chen Haitao.

However, Du Ping surfaced, which made Meng Shaohui a little puzzled. The motive of the murderer was analyzed before as revenge, but the only common feature that Li Jian and others could make the murderer have a motive for revenge was that they secretly collected the research materials of the golden silkworm. It was sold to overseas medical research institutes for profit. If the murderer was motivated by this, then a necessary prerequisite is that the murderer has a direct relationship with Chen Haitao.If it is Du Ping, he does have a direct relationship with Chen Haitao. According to the information provided by Sun Jun, it is very likely that Chen Haitao and Du Ping conspired to kill Du Maoshan and stole the research materials of Golden Silkworm. Ping also suddenly had money after Du Maoshan's death, and the money was very likely given to him by Chen Haitao.

Judging from the previous relationship between Du Ping and Chen Haitao, it is indeed possible for him to kill Li Jian and others, because Li Jian and others sold his father's research materials privately, but he did not get any benefits. It makes sense, but the biggest question is, where did the golden silkworm that Du Ping used to kill people come from?He has never learned any knowledge related to biology, even if he has research materials, it is impossible to reproduce the golden silkworm.

Suddenly, Meng Shaohui felt as if he had been drawn into a maze again. The first was the golden silkworm, and then the clue was the mysterious waiter. With the development of the case, Chen Haitao's unsolved case was naturally revealed. During the investigation, Du Ping became a suspect in Chen Haitao's case, but he disappeared. However, with the arrest of the mysterious waiter Wang Wei, Du Ping appeared in the investigation again, and he also played the role of a substitute for Wang Wei and Wang Wei. The role of the middleman in the murderer's matchmaking.On the surface, everything that happened seemed to be logical, but Meng Shaohui was always uneasy in his heart. He always felt that there was a mysterious force secretly fueling the flames.

"Captain Meng, there is news about Du Ping." The investigator rushed into Meng Shaohui's office and said excitedly.

This news really surprised Meng Shaohui, he hurriedly asked, "What's going on?"

"Someone called the police just now, saying they knew Du Ping's whereabouts and gave us an address."

Meng Shaohui hurriedly took the address and glanced at it. It was written on the address of a small hotel located in the fringe area of ​​urban and rural areas. He immediately asked, "Who called the police?"

"The number shows that it is a mobile phone number, but the other party did not disclose their identity. We have already checked the number, and it is a newly opened number. The only call is the alarm call. After that, this number has been shut down."

"So strange? Go and see if it's true or not."

Meng Shaohui took several investigators and drove quickly to the small hotel in the urban-rural fringe that the informant said. Along the way, he frowned and was full of thoughts. Even he himself didn't understand why this happened. Logically speaking, he knew He should be excited when he found out about Du Ping's whereabouts, but he couldn't be happy at all. He kept thinking in his heart that the police didn't issue a warrant to arrest Du Ping. What purpose did the reporter call to report on Du Ping? whereabouts?Who is the identity of the informant?Why did he know Du Ping's whereabouts?Could he have anything to do with several cases?If so, then why did he shake Dupin out?What is the purpose?

A series of unanswered questions lingered in Meng Shaohui's mind for a long time.

As soon as the car stopped, Meng Shaohui and several investigators quickly entered the small hotel. After checking with the hotel waiter, they learned that there was indeed a man living in Room 307 as mentioned by the reporter, but his name was not Du Ping. The name was Wang Hao, but through the waiter's description of his physical characteristics, Meng Shaohui concluded that this person was Du Ping.

After Meng Shaohui learned about the various furnishings in the guest room from the waiter, he immediately began to deploy operations, leaving three investigators on standby on the first floor, and he personally led the rest of the investigators carefully to the front of room 307 on the third floor.

Meng Shaohui first leaned on the door and listened carefully. Judging from the noisy sound coming from the room, it should be coming from the TV. He didn't waste any more time and gently inserted the key into the lock. Slowly turn the key.

With a "click", the moment the door lock was unlocked, Meng Shaohui pushed the door open with lightning speed and rushed in, followed by the other investigators, while the man in the room was leaning on the bed and watching leisurely. Watching the TV, seeing someone rushing in, she was so frightened that she rolled from the bed to the floor.

Seeing this, Meng Shaohui and the investigators moved as fast as lightning, and they rushed forward and pressed the man firmly to the ground, but the man still tried to resist. His hands desperately tried to break free and reached into his trouser pockets, but they were quickly detected The police officer pinched his hands behind his back, and the gleaming handcuffs snapped on with a "click", and the man stopped struggling and obeyed obediently.The investigators stepped forward to set him up, and found a dagger and a small packet of white powder from his trouser pocket.

"What are you doing? Why are you arresting me?" The man yelled at the investigators after being erected.

"What's your name?" Meng Shaohui asked.

"Wang Hao, I didn't break the law, why do you arrest me?" The man continued to shout.

"Du Ping, do you need your friend Wang Wei to identify you?"

Meng Shaohui winked at the investigator, and soon Wang Wei was brought into the room.

"Du Ping, this is your good brother! Don't tell me you don't even know him!" Meng Shaohui said coldly.

Seeing Wang Wei, the man who called himself Wang Hao suddenly sat down on the ground, like a rooster who had been defeated in a fight, with his head drooping and he no longer had the arrogance he had when he was clamoring before.

Du Ping in the interrogation room remained silent all the time, just lowered his head and fiddled with the handcuffs in boredom, and occasionally raised his head to look around, but he didn't dare to look directly at Meng Shaohui sitting across from him.

"Du Ping, you are sitting here today, do you think you can get by without saying anything? After hiding for so many years, you should know everything in your heart." Meng Shaohui said calmly.

"I'm just taking drugs! At worst, go to a drug rehabilitation center." Du Ping said disapprovingly.

"Drug addiction? Drug rehabilitation center? It's not just these!" Meng Shaohui picked up Wang Wei's interrogation transcript and said, "This is the confession of your good brother Wang Wei. Are you interested in reading it?"

"I, I'm not interested. Do you believe the nonsense he said when he was drugged and delirious?" Du Ping said disdainfully.

"Nonsense? Is it also a lie that you gave him a chance to make money?" Meng Shaohui put down the transcript and said with a serious expression, "Du Ping, do you think we will believe it just because of your nonsense? You can Left? You don't even look where this is!"

"Hmph! Anyway, I didn't break the law."

"Didn't break the law? Okay, then let's talk slowly, from the beginning."

Meng Shaohui was not in a hurry, because he knew that Du Ping was a tough "bone". Just because he introduced someone who might be the murderer to Wang Wei, he couldn't convict him at all. To defend himself, Meng Shaohui planned to dismantle his psychological defense step by step.

"Let's talk about your father Du Maoshan first! If I remember correctly, he died of a heart attack, didn't he?"

"So what?"

"When the incident happened, there were only you and his student Chen Haitao at the scene, and you called the ambulance, but unfortunately, when the doctor arrived, your father had already passed away, and before your father passed away, a copy of the experimental The research materials were handed over to Chen Haitao, the whole process is roughly like this, right?"

"You ask knowingly." Du Ping turned his head away impatiently.

"However, I don't think it's that simple. You and Chen Haitao have to prove everything to each other, and there is no third party to testify. That is to say, you can say whatever you want. I think there should be a second question about your father's death. This version." Meng Shaohui paused, and continued: "According to Sun Jun, another student of your father, it is impossible for your father to easily hand over the experimental data to someone, and he is not very satisfied with Chen Haitao. Chen Haitao knows this very well, that's why he tried his best to get close to you, to curry favor with you, and even pay for you when you went out to have a good time. His purpose of doing this is only one, to let you steal your father's research materials for him, and you It is also very clear that this is a profitable thing, because your father has already spent almost all the money on the coffin because of you, a prodigal son, and there is not much inheritance left to you, so you must Find a backer before your father passed away, to be precise, it should be a golden mountain that you can rely on in the future, and Chen Haitao is the perfect candidate for this "golden mountain". You and Chen Haitao went home to steal your father's research materials, It was discovered by your father, which caused him to have a heart attack. Afterwards, you testified on behalf of Chen Haitao that it was your father who handed over the research materials to him before he passed away. From this point of view, you can also be regarded as killing your biological father. murderer."
