Tiger Police

Chapter 443 Seems to be the truth

"The next thing is the important point." Hu Pingtao said seriously: "Infidelity in marriage is very common, and it is not special to happen to Gong Xinxia. The problem is...she and Liao Cunxue were not married for a long time, and then the couple had conflicts. , she aborted the child she was pregnant with, and then met Zhang Hao while playing mahjong."

Xing Le was confused when he heard this: "This is normal!"

Hu Pingtao glanced at her: "Let me give you a hint: Zhang Hao and Liao Cunxue have known each other for a long time."

Xing Le was still confused: "It's nothing! They used to be colleagues in the advertising company, but they lost contact with each other. They both live in the same city. Zhang Hao didn't know that Liao Cunxue was married, and that Gong Xinxia was his wife. .”

Hu Pingtao smiled and shook his head: "Okay! Let me change the question: Xing Le, if you have a boyfriend, you have met your parents, and you have decided on a date to get married. Then around this wedding, what are you going to do now?"

Xing Le concentrated on thinking, and replied: "Denovate the new house, take wedding photos, order banquets, send invitations..."

Hu Pingtao interrupted her: "That's right, send invitations. The second question: who will you notify to come to the wedding?"

Without even thinking about it, Xing Le opened his mouth and answered: "Is there a need to ask? Of course they are relatives and friends."

Hu Pingtao continued to ask: "We don't talk about relatives, we only talk about friends. Do you only invite friends who are particularly close? Or are ordinary friends also invited?"

This question is a bit difficult to answer, Xing Le's expression began to become twitchy: "...Of course everyone I know has to send invitations. That...First statement! I'm not coveting the red envelopes from others, mainly for marriage. The matter must be announced to the world. Otherwise, it will be hard to say when we meet in the future, and those who were not invited will think that I deliberately alienate them... Wait, this... It seems..."

Xing Le's expression changed suddenly, and then he gasped for air with a hiss.

At the same time, Tan Tao and Ding Yi also reacted.

Ding Yi opened his mouth excitedly and shouted: "Zhang Hao used to be Liao Cunxue's colleague."

Tan Tao's voice was even louder: "Liao Cunxue didn't send an invitation to Zhang Hao when he got married!"

Xing Le stomped his feet vigorously, clenched his hands into fists and waved it in the air a few times, yelling repeatedly: "You two, don't mess up! I obviously thought of it first, okay?"

When several people happened together, the commotion was too great.It was like a quarrel, and people from the office next door ran to the door one after another to see what was going on here.

Hu Pingtao hastily raised his hand, and made a comforting gesture: "Keep your voice down. Those who know us know that we are discussing the case, and those who don't know think we are discussing matters!"

After being told this, several people were a little embarrassed, and Xing Le, who made the most noise, also sat on the chair in embarrassment, with his head bowed and his face blushing.

Hu Pingtao slowed down his speech and said seriously: "Liao Cunxue also values ​​money very much. I suspect that the reason why he chose Gong Xinxia to marry is largely because of the savings in Gong Xinxia's bank. Regardless of this, the marriage alone In fact, Liao Cunxue will definitely invite everyone he knows to the wedding."

"why?"

Hu Pingtao asked himself and answered: "Because I can collect money!"

"When I was at the sub-bureau, I asked Gong Xinxia's parents: When she got married, the banquet was set by Liao Cunxue. In the Wanhe Hotel, the standard was 450 yuan per table. The banquet of this specification was barely mid-range and low. There are fish and meat, but don’t even think about high-end dishes such as seafood. Most of the people invited to the wedding are from the village, and there are some distant relatives. The kind with a big family... But after the settlement, the money received was quite a lot. Except for the wedding banquet expenses, there was still more than 100 yuan left."

Tan Tao nodded again and again: "In fact, most of the wedding treats can make money. I have a few friends who got divorced after getting married, and then got married again after finding a suitable one. They always hold big banquets just to collect money."

Ding Yi said faintly from the side: "The second marriage still engages in such tricks... Is this a loss of morality, or a distortion of human nature?"

Xing Le covered his mouth and laughed straight: "I didn't see it! Xiao Ding, you have a sense of justice. In this way, let's make an agreement! I won't give red envelopes when you get married, and I will definitely be there for the wedding banquet. Drink for nothing."

Ding Yi became anxious all of a sudden: "Hey, I'll just say it casually, what do you mean?"

Hu Pingtao raised his hand to stop them, and said solemnly: "Liao Cunxue is a guy who loves money. To put it bluntly, he is a miser. He is calculating Gong Xinxia's savings and wants to buy a house in the village for subletting. After being rejected, the relationship between husband and wife took a turn for the worse... For someone like him, it is impossible to let go of the opportunity to get married and make money. Not to mention relatives and friends, I guess Liao Cunxue will have the cheek to send invitations to people who only meet once .”

"But he just didn't notify Zhang Hao!"

"Liao Cunxue said it himself. When he was in the advertising company, he and Zhang Hao had a very good relationship. They often got together to drink when they were free."

Speaking of this, Hu Pingtao raised his voice: "There is a key factor in this--Liao Cunxue has kept Zhang Hao's phone number. Later, Zhang Hao and Gong Xinxia secretly developed into a lover relationship. Liao Cunxue didn't know anything. He He took the initiative to call Zhang Hao to come to his house for dinner. Until then, Zhang Hao didn’t know that Gong Xinxia was Liao Cunxue’s wife.”

With a sigh of relief, Hu Pingtao looked around and asked slowly in a low voice: "Do you believe this kind of words?"

Tan Tao frowned and shook his head: "Boss, I didn't think there was anything wrong at first. But now hearing what you said, there are too many flaws in it."

Ding Yi felt the same way: "Yes! Whether Liao Cunxue bought an electric car for Gong Xinxia, ​​or Gong Xinxia asked Zhang Hao to meet in Wetland Park, none of this makes sense."

Xing Le's eyelids twitched slightly, and she thought of a very terrifying possibility: "...Zhang Hao and Gong Xinxia met while playing mahjong. Could it be...he had discussed with Liao Cunxue before to do this? "

Hu Pingtao didn't answer directly: "Zhang Hao said that Liao Xinxia discussed the future relationship between the two of them the night they had dinner at Liao Cunjia's. In all fairness, Gong Xinxia does like Zhang Hao, but she still loves him so much. Otherwise, there would be no such thing as "a long-term couple or a short-term couple."

Xing Le was very smart, and she knew everything. She quickly asked, "You mean, Gong Xinxia's death has something to do with money in the final analysis?"

Hu Pingtao said with a smile: "When we handle the case, we must first find the motive for the murder. Think about it, now that Gong Xinxia is dead, who is in the best interest?"

Tan Tao blurted out: "Her parents, and family members."

Hu Pingtao turned around and asked, "Why?"

Tan Tao replied: "Because all property under Gong Xinxia's name belongs to the immediate family."

Xing Le frowned and asked, "That's not right! Shouldn't it be Liao Cunxue?"

Tan Tao reminded: "Gong Xinxia and Liao Cunxue have done pre-marital property notarization. After she died, Liao Cunxue won't get a penny."

Xing Le stared wide-eyed, turned to look at Hu Pingtao, and asked in disbelief: "Could it be that the murderer is Gong Xinxia's family? Oh, no, I mean, apart from Zhang Hao and Liao Cunxue, even her family was also involved?"

Hu Pingtao shook his head and explained: "We checked and found that Gong Xinxia's family members had no time to commit crimes. In fact, when the body was identified in the bureau, I dismissed the idea from the emotional performance of Gong Xinxia's parents—— They do have a motive for committing the crime, but there is a high probability that the old couple will not be the murderers."

Ding Yi asked suspiciously: "Director Hu, what do you mean... the murderer is Zhang Hao?"

Hu Pingtao replied: "Zhang Hao's suspicion is far more than that of Gong Xinxia's family. But have you ever thought about what role her husband Liao Cunxue played in this case?"

"Whether the person who sleeps with me every day has cheated or not, the husband should feel more or less."

"In addition, when Zhang Hao talked about his dinner at Liao Cunjia's home that night, I think there is something wrong with it. Just imagine—the male master was drunk and slept on the bed in the bedroom, leaving the mistress with friends Continue to eat and drink in the living room... Hehe, if it was you, would it be like this?"

Tan Tao said frankly: "If it is a very close relationship, a friend who knows everything, I think it is still possible."

Hu Pingtao added: "The problem is that Liao Cunxue and Zhang Hao haven't seen each other for several years. Why did he suddenly call for dinner on a whim? Or is he at his own home?"

Xing Le's eyes flickered, and he asked tentatively, "You mean... Liao Cunxue has a problem?"

Hu Pingtao glanced at her sideways: "These words came from Zhang Hao's mouth."

Xing Le finally understood Hu Pingtao's hint. She felt a chill in her heart, couldn't help trembling, and even changed her tone of voice: "You mean... Zhang Hao conspired with Liao Cunxue?"

Hu Pingtao nodded: "From the beginning, I felt that there were too many strange things in this case. Collusion, both of them are murderers, this is the most reasonable explanation."

Tan Tao stood up from his chair and said excitedly, "Then what are you waiting for? Arrest Liao Cunxue immediately, and everything will be clear after the interrogation."

Hu Pingtao looked up at him: "There is one more crucial question—why did Liao Cunxue kill Gong Xinxia?"

Xing Le asked puzzledly: "Didn't you just say that it was for money."

Hu Pingtao asked back: "But you also said that Gong Xinxia has done pre-marital property notarization. Even if she dies, Liao Cunxue still cannot get her deposit in the bank. The money belongs to Gong Xinxia's parents, and there is no half relationship with Liao Cunxue. Dime money."

Ding Yi asked: "Does Gong Xinxia have other properties that we don't know about?"

Hu Pingtao shook his head: "It's unlikely. The money a person can earn is limited. Gong Xinxia's education and ability are there. With reference to her age, she can calculate her overall income after work. Compare her bank Deposits, there is not much difference in this regard.”

Xing Le thought of another possibility: "Did Gong Xinxia ever buy a welfare lottery and win a big prize? Of course, I am just giving you an example. If Gong Xinxia got a large sum of money due to some accident, she would definitely not tell her family, let alone I won't let Liao Cunxue know."

Hu Pingtao said: "It is possible, but the probability is very small. In fact, it is very clear to check her bank account. Gong Xinxia does not carry too much cash with her, and she will choose to deposit the money exceeding a certain amount. "

Tan Tao was thoughtful: "That is to say, the reason why Liao Cunxue and Zhang Hao conspired to kill Gong Xinxia must be for money. But the question now is, where is the money that they fancy and think that they can definitely get it?" ?”

Ding Yi also nodded in agreement: "Yes! Where does the income come from after they kill people?"

When Hu Pingtao was thinking about problems, he was very addicted to smoking.He lit another cigarette, lost in thought.

After a long time, he said slowly: "Last time when I learned about the situation from Liao Cunjiao, he mentioned one thing."

Xing Le frowned and asked, "What matter?"

Hu Pingtao shifted his gaze to Xing Le: "He said... ask the office to issue Gong Xinxia's death certificate to him."

Xing Le nodded: "I remember, he said so."

Hu Pingtao's eyes flickered: "Why is he in such a hurry to ask for this kind of thing?"

"Let me see, under what circumstances would a death certificate come into play?"

"...insurance...life insurance!"

Hu Pingtao threw away the half-smoked cigarette in his hand, and stood up suddenly from the chair with a "whoosh".

He issues orders with great speed.

"Let's split up: Tan Tao, you follow me to Yanhe New Village to arrest Liao Cunxue."

"Xing Le, you and Xiao Ding call the major insurance companies to check Gong Xinxia's ID number and see what kind of insurance she bought before she died."

……

The process of arresting Liao Cunxue went smoothly, but he has been pleading his innocence since his hands were handcuffed.

"Why did you arrest me?"

"I'm a good person!"

"Officer, did you make a mistake? You just came to my house before, and I didn't do anything illegal!"

"You can't do this, you let me go quickly."

The yelling and begging continued until he was taken into the police station and sent to the interrogation room.

After confirming the direction, Xing Le and Ding Yi's progress is also very smooth.

Hu Pingtao is still the presiding judge.

He stared at Liao Cunxue who was fixed on the interrogation chair opposite, and said flatly: "Be honest and explain the problem!"

Liao Cunxue looked anxious: "Officer, I don't understand what you are talking about. I didn't do anything, what do you want me to tell?"

Hu Pingtao has seen a lot of similar situations, and he doesn't accept this at all: "Let me remind you, if you take the initiative to explain the problem, we can count you as having surrendered. This is your last chance."

Liao Cunxue still frowned, and complained vigorously: "I didn't break the law! What did you want me to say?"

Hu Pingtao decided not to entangle with him anymore, and asked directly: "How did your wife Gong Xinxia die?"

Liao Cunxue shook his handcuffed hands, his eyes were full of astonishment: "Drown! You already know, why are you asking?"
