Tiger Police

Chapter 563 Historical Issues
He was in the army at the time, and his family introduced him to a woman named Wang Qiong.

The two later got married and divorced.

Zhang Yixuan just finished writing the materials in hand at this time, raised his head, and said to Hu Pingtao: "This case is still quite bizarre. Wang Qiong's family has always said that Xie Anguo abused her. Later, the two divorced, and one night Wang Qiong cried After half a month, someone found a female corpse by the river, and the Wang family went to see it and determined that the deceased was Wang Qiong."

Hu Pingtao frowned and asked, "It's just that the family members decided that no autopsy was done?"

Zhang Yixuan explained: "An autopsy must be done. But it was different at that time! A few decades ago, the DNA testing technology was far from the level it is now. Besides, it was very troublesome to do DNA at that time. It’s better to think of one thing less, as many cases only need some evidence to be useful.”

Hu Pingtao heard Zhang Yixuan's voice-over, and asked, "So?"

"So the person in charge of the case at the time... thought that Xie Anguo was highly suspected of committing the crime." Zhang Yixuan replied.

The more Hu Pingtao listened, the more confused he became: "They are husband and wife! Besides, Wang Qiong ran out on the night of the crime. What does it have to do with Xie Anguo?"

"The main reason is that when Wang Qiong ran away, he chased him out." Zhang Yixuan explained: "That night, many people saw the couple running out one after the other, and the Wang family was also there."

Hu Pingtao frowned even deeper: "This doesn't explain anything! No one saw Xie Anguo commit the crime, not even biological evidence."

Gu Dewei was listening all the time.He also shook his head at this: "Tiger...captain, you should read on! To be honest, I have handled quite a few cases, but this murder case is still outrageous."

In the past, he was used to calling Wang Xiongjie "Team King", but Gu Dewei found it a bit awkward to call him "Team Tiger".

Hu Pingtao continued to read the case materials in the file as promised.

Xie Anguo is from Ninghai Village, Gudu District.The local police quickly arrested him, but no matter how interrogated, Xie Anguo refused to admit that he had killed Wang Qiong, and at the same time he kept complaining to the judiciary.

Because Xie Anguo refused to admit it, the relevant organization formed a joint department to carry out a comprehensive trial of the case, and at the same time conduct an autopsy on the female corpse found by the river.

It was found that the deceased was about 50 years old.

Wang Qiong was only 26 years old.

Seeing this, Hu Pingtao couldn't help yelling: "What's the trick? An old woman in her 50s is just hanging out with a woman in her 20s. Who was handling the case at that time?"

Zhang Yixuan has already learned about this case in detail, and has been angry and emotional.At this moment, he was very calm, and said lightly: "It's normal, not surprising. The laws of our country are getting better little by little. If you think about the crackdown back then, how many people were arrested across the country? Before that, the society The atmosphere is really bad, there are idle people everywhere, not to mention robbery, mainly gangs and gangs fighting with each other, which seriously threatens the property safety of the people, and even endangers their lives."

Hu Pingtao was deeply touched by this: "Yes! At that time, our country had just gone through a special period. During the reform and opening up in [-], many policies were concentrated together, people were impetuous, and many unqualified law enforcement personnel mixed in The public security system has led to a large number of unjust, false and wrongly decided cases."

Zhang Yixuan said: "At that time, some cases were not investigated at all. The investigators only looked at the surface, and even judged the case based on their feelings without evidence. Let's talk about the case of Xie Anguo! When the deceased was found at that time, the cause of death should be determined first, and it was determined whether it was homicide." It was suicide, or it was caused by an accident. In the end, the cause of death was not even revealed, so I was busy concluding that the deceased was Wang Qiong, and that Xie Anguo was the murderer... In such a situation where nothing was clear, the suspect was investigated. Filing a criminal case is an extremely imprecise approach."

Hu Pingtao nodded with a serious expression: "In the past, some people... did not do human affairs for nothing. But now, this kind of thing has been completely eliminated."

Zhang Yixuan said: "In short, this case has historical reasons, and there must be elements of injustice, falsehood, and wrongdoing, but after all, it is an old case decades ago, and the unclear parts... well, it's really hard to say."

Hu Pingtao listened and looked down, but the more he looked, the more he was surprised: "Xie Anguo was imprisoned for 23 months and then released?"

"Because there is not enough evidence." Zhang Yixuan explained: "The concept of law enforcement at that time was different from what it is now. This is to prevent the suspect from running away. Xie Anguo couldn't swallow this breath, and he has been petitioning since he came out."

Hu Pingtao put down the documents in his hand and asked, "Is there any result in the petition?"

"No." Zhang Yixuan shook his head: "But Wang Qiong's family didn't think so. They believed that Xie Anguo killed Wang Qiong. Since then, they often went to Xie's house to make troubles and rob other people's things. Xie Anguo was forced to die. The only way is to run away from home."

Hu Pingtao concentrated and remained silent.

He had stayed at the police station for a long time, and he was very familiar with civil disputes, and he also knew that many villagers made troubles just for money.

Especially in this case where the two parties divorced and the woman died for no reason, the family members of the deceased would often use this as a pretext to continue the quarrel in the man's house for a long time.

If the man's attitude is tough and the family has a large population, the woman will definitely bully the weak and be afraid of the hard, and stop her efforts.

But if the man's attitude is weak and there are few people in the family, the woman will definitely bully others.

He tapped the files on the table a few times with his fingers, raised his head, and asked Zhang Yixuan who was sitting opposite: "Is there any new clues in this case now?"

"Clues..." Zhang Yixuan hesitated for a moment, and replied: "During this time, Xie Anguo has been to the bureau several times, saying he was reporting the situation."

Hu Pingtao was quite surprised when he heard this: "Didn't you just say that this person was so disturbed that he ran away from home?"

Zhang Yixuan nodded: "This is the previous file record. Xie Anguo left the provincial capital and went to the coast, where he did business with his friends. He came back a few years ago to investigate the case clearly."

"As for what he said about the situation...According to him, there is something wrong with the Wang family. Wang Qiong is not dead, it is estimated that she was hidden by her family."

Hu Pingtao narrowed his eyes: "Is there such a thing?"

Zhang Yixuan said: "The female corpse found by the river was obviously much older than Wang Qiong. Although the identity was not confirmed, it is certain that it was not Wang Qiong. Moreover, Wang Qiong has never been seen since then and has been in a state of disappearance."

Hu Pingtao asked: "Does it mean that Xie Anguo found Wang Qiong?"

"He didn't say anything." Zhang Yixuan emphasized his tone: "Just a while ago, the case we were handling was in the final stage, and the two ends were too busy. At that time, Xiao Gu received Xie Anguo. You have to ask him for the specific situation."

Gu Dewei said from the side: "Xie Anguo's words were a bit ambiguous. He didn't provide any specific clues. He only said that there was something strange about this case, and that neither the higher-ups nor the people in the village treated him fairly. He also said that he had been bullied by the Wang family all these years. We came forward to solve the problem for him."

Hu Pingtao asked seriously: "What problem does he want to solve? Personal reputation? Or economics?"

"It's all there!" Gu Dewei said: "He didn't say it clearly, he just kept complaining. Anyway, that's probably what he meant."

Hu Pingtao thought for a moment, then asked: "I read the information just now, Xie Anguo is from Ninghai Village in our district?"

"Yes." Zhang Yixuan replied.

Hu Pingtao stood up from the chair: "Let's do this! Taking advantage of nothing to do today, little Gu Ni and I will go to Ninghai Village for a run."

Zhang Yixuan asked curiously: "Why, do you think there is something wrong with this case?"

Hu Pingtao explained: "Xie Anguo was arrested and released back then. No matter who changed him, he couldn't swallow it. , It is very difficult to investigate. But he is a local, and the villagers know everything, and can understand many things."

"In short, some of the mistakes of the year must be corrected on our hands."

"Issues left over from history must be resolved, and cannot be ignored just because it is an old case. If Xie Anguo is innocent, we must give him justice."

……

Ninghai Village is on the edge of Dianchi Lake.

The Dianchi Lake in the past is not what it is now.The "Five Hundred Miles of Dianchi Lake" written by Sun Ranweng in the long couplet of Daguanlou is truly sparkling and vast as far as the eye can see.

The reclamation of land from the sea is also caused by historical reasons. The so-called "begging for grain from Dianchi Lake" seems to be just a joke now, but this terrible mistake can no longer be changed.

Xie Anguo's home is easy to find——Hu Pingtao and Gu Dewei drove into the village in a police car, and they can find out if they ask anyone.

"That murderer lives at the east end of the village."

"Are you looking for Lao Xie's house? Go straight along this road, turn left when you encounter a fork, and then turn right twice in a row. The three-story building diagonally opposite the small square is."

"You police are here to arrest him, right? His house lives next to the small square. The first floor has a red brick wall, and the second and third floors are painted white. It's easy to find."

Most of the houses in Ninghai Village are old houses, half of which are old adobe houses, and about half of them are flat brick and tile houses.There are also small buildings with two or three floors, but the number is not many, and there are no more than ten buildings in total.

Xie Anguo's home is one of them.

Gu Dewei drove, holding the steering wheel, and slowly drove into the village: "Boss, it seems that Xie Anguo has a bad reputation in the village!"

Hu Pingtao said lightly: "It's normal. You can tell by looking at the houses in this village. There is a huge gap between the rich and the poor. Those who have no money look down on the rich and envy and hate them. The proportion of the crowd is very important. It will suppress the rich, and vice versa. In fact, there is no standard of good and evil in this kind of thing, that is, when I see you having a good life, I am jealous, and I feel uncomfortable in my heart, and then I find fault with you, hurt you, and poke you in the back backbone."

"Didn't Xie Anguo run away from home a few years ago? I guess he did earn some money outside. After he came back, he built a new house, and the villagers thought it was hard to see. After all, Xie Anguo had served a prison sentence before, so these people had some doubts in their hearts. It's normal to think."

The car drove into the small square, and quickly found Xie Anguo's home according to the previous villagers' instructions.

Hu Pingtao knocked on the door.

Seeing the two policemen in black uniforms, Xie Anguo was stunned.

Hu Pingtao was also looking at him.

Xie Anguo is thin and tall, although he is old, he looks very energetic.I don't have much hair, so I shaved it all off.Standing upright with a straight back, it is probably a habit brought over from the army in his early years.

Hu Pingtao asked: "Are you Xie Anguo?"

The other party came back to his senses, opened his mouth slightly and nodded, and asked anxiously, "You... what do you want from me?"

Hu Pingtao showed a gentle smile on his face: "Don't be nervous, I just want to ask you to understand the situation, nothing else."

Xie Anguo was a little undecided, hesitated and asked tentatively: "You are... I haven't seen you before!"

Gu Dewei interjected from the side: "We are from the District Criminal Investigation Team. You still know me, right? You came to the bureau a few days ago, and I was the one who received you."

Xie An Guo raised his hand and patted his forehead lightly, suddenly realized: "Yes, yes. Look at my memory, you... your surname seems to be Gu, right?"

Gu Dewei smiled and nodded: "My name is Gu Dewei."

He then introduced: "This is our captain, his surname is Hu, the tiger of a tiger."

Xie Anguo quickly stepped aside to get out of the way, opened the door, and welcomed the two of them in.

Hu Pingtao took a closer look at the house. It was quite spacious, and the yard alone had an area of ​​more than 30 square meters.A circle of flower beds was built inside the wall, half of which were planted with flowers and plants, and half of which were planted with green onions, ginger, and leeks. Grapes were planted in the middle of the courtyard, and a cement platform was also built, which was quite rural.

"You did a good job! It looks like a small villa." Hu Pingtao pointed to the vines in the middle of the yard and asked deliberately: "As far as your living conditions are concerned, you should be one of the best in the village, right?"

"Hehe, it's okay!" Xie Anguo scratched his head, showing off a little bit, but also a little embarrassed: "The policy has been good these years, and there are quite a lot of rich people in the village. My house is really nothing."

"Well, let's go into the room first!" Xie Anguo asked while making a fuss, "Do you want tea or coffee?"

Hu Pingtao walked up the steps, observed the furniture in the living room, and asked with a smile, "Why do you like coffee?"

Xie Anguo led them into the living room, and explained: "I used to beg for a living outside and learn from others. At that time, it was really hard and tiring. Sometimes I would be busy until two or three o'clock in the middle of the night, and at five o'clock the next day I need to get up. I can’t bear the sleepiness, so I can only drink coffee. That comes quickly, and I will be very awake after drinking a cup.”

Gu Dewei said: "Let's drink tea! This is good."

There is a large tea table in the middle of the living room.Hu Pingtao sat down on the sofa, pointed to the tea table and asked, "What business did you do on the coast?"

This kind of tea table originated from the coast and gradually spread to the inland.

"Make clothes." Xie Anguo replied: "In the beginning, I got the goods from acquaintances, and then I got in touch with the factory."
