Chapter 1255 Fanjia Village

The questioning did not last long.

After Meng Chengbiao made the siblings cry, the two began talking to each other and began to express the doubts they had over the years.

"Although there were other women who ran away in the village, most of them were childless women. At least, they didn't run away after being married for more than ten years."

"The women who left tried to take as much money as possible. Some would borrow money and then run away. Those who didn't have any gold jewelry would leave behind."

"When other people left, they would more or less say goodbye to their children. No one ran away without saying a word."

Based on this, Meng Chengbiao began to ask about the hammer, and asked more about the situation during the days when their mother was away.

The days when their mother left were unforgettable for the siblings, who were only teenagers at the time. Under Meng Chengbiao's guidance, their memories became clear and specific.

No one said "father" for sure, but the questions and answers all revolved around him.

In the observation room, Huang Qiangmin and others were smoking one cigarette after another and had lost interest in chatting.

After working as a criminal police for a long time, I can guess most of the details of some cases without the insiders telling me. It's like falling in love, getting married, and getting divorced. Of course, there are some weirdos who can do something special and become popular on the Internet, but most of the time, the life experiences of ordinary people are so ordinary, so ordinary that even the aunties on the street have chewed them over.

However, even if everyone can guess the direction of these cases and events, it is still very sad when they are really confirmed.

Of course, what is more important is the question of how to convict the suspect.

The police need evidence to investigate a case.

Under the current circumstances, even if the suspect confesses, the evidence is too thin.

Jiang Yuan confirmed the identity of the deceased and immediately pointed the finger of suspicion at the deceased's husband - his wife had been missing for several years but he did not report it to the police. It was clearly his wife who was hit by a blunt object and thrown into the river, but in his mouth she became a woman who abandoned her husband and children. These contradictions made him as obvious as a light bulb.

But all this evidence is circumstantial.

The crime scene is uncertain - Jiang Yuan has already gone to Fanjia Village to look for it, but rural houses are different from urban residences. There are many cameras in the city, and most activities are indoors. Cases of murdering wives and husbands are often concentrated in buildings. If there is no redecoration, the use of reagents such as luminol can make it relatively easy to find bloodstains and other evidence indoors.

The lifestyle in the countryside is different. People tend to like to be outdoors, and many murders occur in yards or outdoors. If you spray luminol indoors and no blood is found, there is basically no hope of finding blood elsewhere.

In addition, after eight years, the murder weapon is likely to have disappeared.

There can be many motives for murder, but none of the contradictions are so profound that one must kill. Instead, there are reasons not to kill.

Therefore, the purpose of Meng Chengbiao's questioning was to try to find an eyewitness or an accomplice, or at least an insider - there were many relatives from the same clan and clan in Fanjia Village, and they all lived together. According to Meng Chengbiao's experience, after a suspect killed someone, he would most likely consult someone or even ask someone for help, and afterwards, he might accidentally let something slip.

The most likely thing to happen here is to let something slip. There are too many similar situations. It is actually very difficult to keep one's mouth shut, especially when there is tremendous psychological pressure.

Meng Chengbiao was questioning in the interrogation room while Jiang Yuan and his men were strolling in Fanjia Village.

Fanjia Village is only 10 kilometers away from Ningtai County. It is convenient for villagers to travel back and forth. There are still to people living in the village. Jiang Yuan deliberately walked along the riverside. It is a single lane built during the period of connecting all villages with roads. The lane mainly leads to nearby towns, and there are several branch roads leading to neighboring villages.

The body dumping site determined by the database is probably about thirty or forty meters away from the nearest driveway in a straight line, but the road is difficult to walk on. It is a slope with a drop of about 10 meters. There are all kinds of miscellaneous wood in the middle, some as high as two stories high and some as short as one meter.

Jiang Yuan got out of the car and walked along the path trampled by people. Naturally, the path was winding and rugged. It almost made an S-bend and one more corner before reaching the river. The total route was more than 100 meters, and there were two places in the middle with a drop of more than one meter. The heavily armed criminal police who came with him, such as Mu Zhiyang, needed to grab the tree trunk next to them to jump down, otherwise they would easily roll over.

"It's impossible to carry the body down by oneself." Mu Zhiyang was already sweating when he walked to the river.

"It's hard to say..." Shen Yaowei often climbs up and down to carry equipment, and he has some experience. He said: "In this terrain, if we put the body in a bag, a sturdy bag, and drag it along, it will slide all the way down, but it will be easier to carry it on the flat ground."

"That will leave a very long mark."

“There’s no way to prove it now.”

"He's not sure if there's any police investigation in person. Should he consider this issue? Another thing, does he have a suitable bag?"

"Suitcase?" Maki Zhiyang suggested the classic corpse container.

"If you don't consider the traces, the effect is about the same." Jiang Yuan nodded slowly: "They are both difficult, barely feasible, but in fact still difficult."

Investigative theory holds that 100 meters is the limit for dumping a body on foot. This number is not just a random guess, but a summary of various practices.

Many people may think before committing a crime, "I have gone through great hardships, I have fought tirelessly, I have worked day and night, I can surpass the limits of ordinary people" - have you ever broken through the limits of ordinary people before? Don't you know it? Even if you just traveled through time yesterday, you will know it if you try it today. In fact, you don't need to kill someone before trying again.

As far as transporting corpses is concerned, buying a pig for testing may be a bit expensive, or you can get a friend drunk and try it - there is a difference in difficulty between transporting living people and dead people. Because of the distribution of gravity, transporting a dead person is more difficult than transporting ordinary objects of the same weight.

In addition, when transporting corpses, time factors and tension will cause the movements to become deformed and the difficulty to increase. Especially for those who are doing it for the first time, the accelerated heart rate alone will waste a lot of energy.

Finally, transporting corpses and killing people are often a continuous action. Generally speaking, before transporting a corpse, you have to make the corpse yourself first. Unless you use methods such as poisoning, the process of making a corpse tends to be intense and is enough to exhaust the physical energy of a normal person.

During this period, there will always be fierce psychological games, especially when someone is killed without preparation. Whether to dispose of the body, bury it, or hide it first, what method of transportation to use, etc., all require a certain amount of physical strength and energy. For middle-aged friends, this step alone is already exhausting.

"It's unlikely that the suspect dumped the body alone. We should give priority to the possibility that someone helped." Jiang Yuan recalled this and asked, "Who are his other immediate family members?"

"The suspect's parents are both here, and he has an older brother and an older sister. His sister was married and no longer lives in the village, but his brother is still here. In addition, the suspect has more than a dozen cousins."

"Ask them one by one. Take them back and ask." Jiang Yuan made the decision immediately.

"Do you want to ask your cousins ​​too? They are from the same village. Will there be a problem of too large a scope of impact?" Wei Shixun had been following without saying a word, but at this moment he became subconsciously sensitive.

Jiang Yuan shook his head: "The deceased may have been in shock when he fell into the water, and was not dead yet. Therefore, those who accompanied the suspect to dump the body were also murderers. If you count it this way, the blow is not big. By the way, don't bring up this issue during the interrogation."
