Back to 1990. Criminal Investigation

After tattooing the rat jumping up and down on the corpse, they fled quickly. Maggots crawled out of the corpse, and only a rough outline could be seen on the face of the corpse. Everyone endured nausea and put the corpse into a body bag and transported it back.

Leng Jiucheng found the ID card of the deceased from the room. Fan Zheng, 26 years old, was confirmed to be the brother Dao they were looking for.

Fan Zheng, nicknamed Brother Dao, is a gangster in this area. This person has been working under Wang Renzhong. On the night of the incident, someone confirmed that Brother Dao was called out by Wang Renzhong, and then disappeared.

First, Chi Rui bullied the Chen family. Chen Ling wanted to protect the family, but her own strength was too weak, so she thought of starting with Chi Rui's daughter, Chi Xinrui. Because of this, Chen Ling killed Chi Xinrui in the previous life.

In this life, a new suspect, Fan Zheng, appeared, but Fan Zheng died again, and people would never be able to open their mouths. In 1990, DNA technology was not yet popular. If no evidence could be found on the body, Fan Zheng's death would directly lead to the case. dead end.

After dealing with all matters at the scene, Leng Jiucheng rushed to the forensic room. He preliminarily deduced that Fan Zheng died on the same day as Chi Xinrui. The fatal wound was in the back and he was killed with a single knife, except that a red button was found in Fan Zheng's trouser pocket.

Fan Zheng died of a knife wound, but no murder weapon was found at the scene of the crime or on the body. After the murder, he knew to take the murder weapon away, which shows that the murderer had made preparations before the murder and was a thoughtful person.

Leng Jiucheng took the red button he found on Fan Zheng's body to the evidence. After comparing the button, it was the one missing from Chi Xinrui's skirt.

Chi Xinrui was not killed by the murderer of the Hongyi serial murder case. This point has long been settled. Originally, Chi Xinrui was the first person Chen Ling killed, and the modus operandi had nothing to do with the Hongyi serial murder case. The way of death has changed, and there is no evidence that Chi Xinrui's death is related to Chen Ling.

It is recorded in the file of the previous case that Fang Yuanyuan’s body was found in the ancestral grave of Ding Chong’s family, but there was no body of Fang Yuanyuan in the ancestral grave. Originally, things were changing in 1900. This time, Leng Jiucheng could not rush to investigate the case according to what he remembered, but only based on the current situation. The evidence traces the crime and finds out Fan Zheng's motive for the murder.

Fan Zheng lost his father when he was young, and lived with his mother since he was a child. He has two older brothers and one older sister. Now his elder brother and older sister are married and have their own families. together.

Fan's mother rushed to the police station. When she heard the news of her son's death, she cried and fainted at the police station. Only her sister came with her. The two brothers never showed up. According to Fan Zheng's sister, Fan's mother loved Fan Zheng too much, which caused Fan Zheng to grow up. When he was not doing business, he went around borrowing money from relatives and friends, but his family members avoided mentioning him. He died for several days without his family members finding out.

The family knew very little about Fan Zheng's situation, so they could only go to h to find the gangsters who often hang out with Fan Zheng. These people generally revealed a problem. Fan Zheng had a habit of gambling, and gave away all the money he earned from helping others. When he went to the casino, it was a pity that he was unlucky and lost every time. He wanted to get the money back, but he got deeper and deeper, and owed a lot of debt.

Relatives and friends borrowed all the money, and no one would lend him any more money, so they ran to borrow money from usury, and the result was more and more money, and they were often beaten if they didn't pay the money. He once threatened that as long as he could make money, he would kill anyone. This state has been maintained until the accident.

Fan Zheng often hid everywhere, disappeared for several days and did not show up, this time the disappearance was ignored.

On the day when Chi Xinrui's case happened, Fan Zheng was drinking with his friends. Halfway through the drink, Wang Renzhong called him away. As for what Wang Renzhong asked him to do, no one around Fan Zheng knew, and no one saw Fan Zheng after that day.

According to the results of the interview, there are two possibilities for what happened to Fan Zheng. First, Wang Renzhong ordered him to kill Chen Ling and was silenced afterwards. Second, Fan Zheng died of the loan sharks.

Leng Jiucheng and Li Xunbing split into two groups. Li Xun went to investigate the usury owed by Fan Xunzheng, and Leng Jiucheng sent someone to take Wang Renzhong to the police station.

Wang Renzhong combed his hair back, treated people very politely, looked gentle, and didn't reveal a bit of hooliganism on his body.

The policemen who responded to the inquiries were very friendly and answered all the questions they asked positively. Wang Renzhong said that he went to Fan Zheng that night because of the usury creditor Fan Zheng owed. Fan Zheng repays the debt.

The opponent was very powerful, Wang Renzhong said all the good things, and paid back part of the money for Fan Zheng. This matter was temporarily over, and it was over, but he was very upset, so he called Fan Zheng over and scolded him severely. Fan Zheng is gone, the conversation scene was in the hotel box, not only their internal personnel, but also the hotel staff were present, many people can testify.

The conversation went so smoothly that the interrogating police officer had nothing to ask, and quickly came out of the interrogation room, "The captain asked all the questions he should have asked. If what Wang Renzhong said is true, Fan Zheng should not have been killed by Wang Renzhong."

Leng Jiucheng looked down at Wang Renzhong's information in his hand. Wang Renzhong's parents died early, and he grew up eating a lot of food. He learned to look at people's eyes and do things when he was a child. Brother, the police suspected that he was engaged in prostitution|trafficking|drugs, etc., but Wang Renzhong did not leak anything, so the police did not find any evidence.

People with similar strength to Wang Renzhong have all been arrested and brought to justice. Only Wang Renzhong is still active, and his strength is growing day by day. The police have been watching him, but they still can't find any evidence.

Even if such a person presents real evidence, he may not necessarily admit it, let alone without evidence, and he can't get the result in a few words. When Wang Renzhong is called, he only wants to have a preliminary judgment and impression.

Wang Renzhong came out of the interrogation room, walked to Jiuzheng and stopped, stretched out his hand and said, "You are the new police officer Leng, I have admired you for a long time."

Leng Jiucheng lowered his eyes to look at the outstretched hand, and said with a light smile, "You're welcome, I may ask you to help us again in the future." He was smiling, but he never extended his hand to shake Wang Renzhong.

Wang Renzhong withdrew his hand indifferently, "It's my duty to help you solve the case. Besides, Fan Zheng has been with me for so many years, so I can't let him die for no reason. This is hard work for you."

Leng Jiucheng smiled and said nothing, Wang Renzhong also smiled back, and the moment they passed each other, both of them put their smiles back.

Criminal investigation work in real life is far less magical than in detective novels. Solving a case requires a lot of manpower and constant visits to verify the situation. It is tiring and boring. This is especially true in 1990 when criminal investigation technology was not yet developed. Every time a new clue is obtained, It takes a lot of time to verify and verify.

Wu Li Xun, who went to verify the situation at night, came back to report the situation at the same time. Li found Fan Zheng's creditors, and the creditors took out a huge amount of IOUs. Fan Zheng had indeed owed a lot of foreign debts from gambling. I also contacted Wang Renzhong, and all these facts are true.

After Wang Renzhong helped Fan Zheng repay a small amount of money, the creditor never found Fan Zheng again. Fan Zheng usually hides in Tibet, like a mouse, as long as he avoids the creditor, he can stay in any environment. This time, Fan Zheng disappeared for five or six days. , The creditor also searched many places, but could not find anyone. It was not until the police came that they found out that Fan Zheng was dead.

Li Xun: "Judging from the past cases of death due to usury, creditors usually don't kill people with a knife. In order to make the other party repay the money, creditors try their best to torture, usually tortured or beaten to death. Fan Zheng was killed with a knife, and Behind the scenes, I don't think it's the work of loan sharks."

"Fan Zheng's knife wound was a surprise attack on his back. If he died, the creditor would not be able to get the money. Killing him with a knife would do more harm than good to them. It should not have been done by the creditor." Leng Jiucheng looked very similar to Gao Qingwu, "How are you doing?"

"I went to the restaurant that Wang Renzhong said to verify. There were nine people including the waiters in the restaurant that night. The confessions of these nine people were basically consistent with what Wang Renzhong said. Wang Renzhong scolded Fan Zheng because of his debts He is gone, Fan Zheng and Wang Renzhong's gang is not very high-ranking, no one goes out to see him off, and no one knows his whereabouts." Gao Qingwu took a peek at Leng Jiucheng, "Both lines are broken... what next? manage?"

"Wang Renzhong wants to kill people, but he doesn't have to do it himself. Those under his command arrange anyone randomly, and they are willing to help him with things. We still have to watch them carefully." Leng Jiucheng took out a cigarette and gave it to Li Xun and Gao Qing, "Fan Zheng It may be related to Chi Xinrui's case, it's not easy to investigate, I'm tired these days, go back to rest early today."

As soon as Leng Jiucheng arrived home, Ding Chongbian came in, "Brother Leng, how is Chi Xinrui's investigation going?"

Since Ding Chong was in his third year of high school, he didn't show up at Leng Jiucheng's house for some days. Every time Leng Jiucheng came back from work, he would see Ding Chong writing in his room. This time he gave up his study time because of Chi Xinrui's case. Chi Xinrui is not familiar with him, so he came to inquire about the case, but he wanted to know whether it was related to Chen Ling and his gang. Thinking of the matter between Ding Chong and Chen Ling in the previous life, Leng Jiucheng felt a sense of irritability that had never come, and he was in no hurry. He answered Ding Chong and asked, "You care so much about Chen Ling?"

Ding Chong was taken aback by the question, not because he cared about Chen Ling. He dropped out of school recently, and sooner or later he stopped walking with him, and other people rarely came to him. He is alone, those good memories of his friends are still in his mind, unwilling to believe that the memory has gone wrong again, he is eager to know if his friend will do something like that, "Bai Jian dropped out of school, I don't believe they will kill people, so Want to know the result."

Leng Jiucheng has forgotten some things about Ding Chong, and the deep hatred brought about by 2021 has gradually dissipated in the trivial daily life. Ding Chong in the past is no longer important. The boy who is worried about his friends is the real one. He couldn't help but raised his hand and touched the top of Ding Chong's head, "The case is a bit complicated, and there are no clear clues yet."

The outstanding intimacy made Ding Chong subconsciously take a step back, avoiding Leng Jiucheng's palm, and muttered: "I'm not a child..."

Leng Jiucheng took out a cigarette and squeezed it between his fingers without lighting it. He said disapprovingly, "Who says 17 years old is also a child's?"

Ding Chong: "..."

At that time, Leng Jiucheng saw him as if he was an enemy. In order to get close to him, he said a lot of nonsense, but he didn't expect Leng Jiucheng to remember those words, "I'm going to be an adult...you can't... ... Treat me like a child again..."

Leng Jiucheng raised his head to look directly at Ding Chong, and said inexplicably, "Adult?"

The cold eyes made Ding Chong's heart beat faster, he hurriedly turned his head to avoid Leng Jiucheng's sight, and asked eagerly, "Has Wang Renzhong checked?"

Ding Chong is more familiar with Wang Renzhong than the police, maybe he can get some clues from him, Leng Jiucheng asked: "Can you be sure that what Chen Ling said to you is 100% true?"

"It doesn't feel like lying."

"But on the night of the incident, Wang Renzhong and his men ate at the restaurant until the early hours of the morning, and went to the dance hall in the middle of the night. During the whole process, people proved that he had no time to kill people."

"Wang Renzhong won't do it himself, have his men checked it?"

"A suspicious one was found, but it was already dead. The time of death was the same day as Chi Xinrui."

Ding Chong scratched his hair, "Why... so, if it's not Wang Renzhong, who else would attack Chi Xinrui?"

Leng Jiucheng put the cigarette between his fingers and lit it up, "Wang Renzhong wants to stop Chi Rui from embarrassing the Chen family. There are many ways. There is no need to kill Chi Rui's daughter. This matter will do more harm than good to him. Tomorrow I'll ask Chi Rui, and I'll know if Wang Renzhong got involved."

"Then I'll come to see you tomorrow night." Ding Chong turned around and wanted to leave.

Leng Jiucheng raised his hand and grabbed the man, "He is dead, whether Chen Ling and the others did it, it can't be changed, don't get involved in this matter anymore."

In memory Ding Jianmin was a loving and loving father, but in reality he drank and committed domestic violence and killed people. The friends in his memory were carefree and happy together for many years. What about reality?Ding Chong didn't know that his father was not what he remembered, and he was very afraid that his friends were not what he remembered. Bai Jian never dropped out of school in his previous generation, but now he suddenly dropped out. Coming out became an existence inseparable from them, Ding Chong couldn't pretend that nothing happened, "I want to know the answer."

Seeing Ding Chong's firmness, Leng Jiucheng let go of his hand, "The dead man was named Fan Zheng, nicknamed Brother Dao. He met Wang Renzhong before he died. We found a button belonging to Chi Xinrui on the body. Chi Xinrui probably died of In Brother Dao's hands, the motive for committing the crime has not yet been found, and the motive for committing the crime may be related to Brother Dao's own death. That is to say, Chi Xinrui and Brother Dao died directly and indirectly in the hands of one person. If gang fights among hooligans are excluded, Then this matter may have something to do with Chen Ling and the others, even if the murderer is not Chen Ling, she can't get away with it."

Why is there only good in memory?Is rebirth just to let him see the good memories shattered a little bit?Ding Chong's face sank like water.

Leng Jiucheng tentatively asked, "If they really are the ones who murdered, what would you do?"

"I won't do anything, leave everything to the law." Regardless of whether he is a father or a friend, the consequences of breaking the law are the same. Ding Chong will not do things that violate morality and laws for the sake of family and friendship. What makes him sad is why his memory is missing?These residual memories are like a beautiful illusion, and I walked into the illusion with hope and expectation, only to find that it turned out to be bones and blood, and the expectation was pulled out in an instant, leaving devastated.

Leng Jiucheng's hanging heart fell to the ground, and he didn't say any more.

Ding Chong went home without sleep all night, and got up early the next day to study the questions. Zhang Juan was busy in the kitchen in a red dress, humming a song, like a happy oriole, completely different from Ding Chong who had not slept all night and looked gloomy.

"Recently, there are perverted murderers who only pick on women who wear red dresses. Mom, you can wear another dress." Ding Chong reminded Zhang Juan while chewing on a steamed stuffed bun.

"Recently, your Uncle Gao picked me up from get off work. It's not like walking alone is fine."

"Which Uncle Gao?" Recently Ding Chong was busy studying and didn't pay attention to his mother's affairs.

"It's the Gao Mingjun in the lower court of Bairen's family." After Zhang Juan finished speaking, she avoided her son's sight and went to the side to get busy.

Only then did Ding Chong remember that Gao Mingjun lived next door to Bairen’s house, an unmarried old bachelor in his 40s, and seeing his mother’s dodging eyes, he vaguely understood, “I don’t care if you are in a relationship, but it’s not peaceful recently. There are so many people in contact with, you should stop wearing a red dress, it’s always good to be on guard.”

"This is the skirt your Uncle Gao gave me. He likes red. Today is his birthday. I'll only wear it once. It's fine."

Regardless of age, people in love are all the same. Ding Chong smiled and didn't care about Zhang Juan anymore. He got up and picked up his schoolbag and went to school. After a busy day, Zhang Juan didn't go home at night, and the barber shop was closed. , Zhang Juan has always been punctual and never fails to go home, and she hasn't come back until early in the morning.
