Tiger Police

Chapter 582 Understanding
Ding Jian asked: "So you believe that someone intentionally poisoned?"

Hu Pingtao sighed: "To be honest, I'm not sure. But judging from the current situation, this is the most reasonable explanation."

While talking, the phone rang.

It's Zhang Liming's number.

Hu Pingtao picked up the phone and turned on the speakerphone: "Hey, how's your check going?"

Zhang Liming said: "I just checked, there is such a case... Ah, no, it is not classified in the case file, but in the accidental death group."

Hu Pingtao narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "Are you sure it's not a murder?"

Zhang Liming explained on the phone: "The deceased's name is Chen Yonglu, right? His wife's name is Liu Xiao'e? If only Chen Yonglu's name is there, I might make a mistake. Because there are many people with the surname Chen in this area, and they are common surnames. Songyang Town is surrounded by villages. There are also many people with the word "Fu Lu Shou" in their names. Just say "Lu"! There are all kinds of Yonglu, Fulu, Tianlu, Qiulu, and Xianglu. If you just said "Chen Yonglu" before , there are more than a dozen people with the same name and surname. But if you add your spouse, Liu Xiaoe, then there is only this one file.”

Hu Pingtao couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "You are still talking about the same thing."

Zhang Liming explained: "That's what it is! Since you asked me for help, I must help you figure it out."

Hu Pingtao put away the smile on his face, and asked seriously: "Have you found out, Chen Yonglu really fell off the cliff by accident?"

Zhang Liming said: "Can I still lie to you? Those are old files more than ten years ago. They are stored in the computer and there are paper files. The matter is very simple. Chen Yonglu came to the town to sell mushrooms, and then had dinner in the town , there are three people with him, a family, three father and son. The father is Liu De, and the two sons are adults, named Liu Yonggui and Liu Yongmao. It happened to be the rainy season when the incident happened. I usually pick wild mushrooms and come to the town to sell them to the purchase point. When Chen Yonglu and Liu's father and son came out of the village, two groups of people from the same village also met them on the road."

"At that time, mushrooms were sold in the town. At least five people testified that it was the Liu family and his son who invited Chen Yonglu to a nearby restaurant for dinner. In the restaurant, there were seven other people who testified that there was wine on the table. But specifically, it was the Liu family who bought it. It was bought by Chen Yonglu, which is no longer known.”

Hu Pingtao listened here and nodded slightly: "That is to say, they must have drank wine when they ate...how much wine is there?"

Zhang Liming said: "Three bottles of Yunnan Qing, I don't know whether it is 42 degrees or 54 degrees. Because the packaging of the two wines is the same."

Yunnan Qing in old packaging is very cheap and can be bought in any country grocery store and restaurant in those days.

Hu Pingtao asked: "Did Chen Yonglu and Liu's father and son leave together after dinner?"

Zhang Liming replied: "No. This was an important verification point at that time—the Liu family and his son left after eating half. The time was around 06:30 p.m. that day. The last bus from Songyang Town to Maguhe Village was at [-]:[-]. [-], they walked from the restaurant to the station, just in time."

Hu Pingtao frowned and asked, "Why didn't the Liu family father and son take Chen Yonglu with them?"

Zhang Liming replied: "This is also recorded in the archives. At that time, it was Lao Teng and Teng Xinrong who were in charge of the investigation. He has now been transferred to the provincial department. The records in the archives are written like this: Chen Yonglu's mushrooms sold for more than 300 yuan. He is very happy. I asked Liu's father and son to have dinner, and he bought the wine. Because of his great interest, Chen Yonglu drank nearly two bottles of wine in one go. Liu's father and son saw that the time was almost up, and urged him to leave, otherwise he would not be able to catch the last train. .”

"But Chen Yonglu was already drunk at the time, and refused to get up for anything. He also yelled that he was not full and asked the restaurant owner to add more food. The Liu family and his son couldn't wait, so they left early."

Hu Pingtao continued to ask: "Are there any witnesses?"

Zhang Liming replied: "There are six of them. They were all eating in restaurants, including the owner of the restaurant. According to him, the Liu family and his son paid for the meals and drinks before leaving, so he didn't care. He just looked at Chen Yonglu. If I drank too much, I fell asleep lying on the table halfway through my meal."

Hu Pingtao asked: "When will Chen Yonglu leave the restaurant?"

"Around [-]:[-]." Zhang Liming replied: "This time is still very accurate. Because the provincial TV station broadcast TV series and martial arts movies that night, the restaurant owner was busy watching them, and the TV was placed in the lobby, so when Chen Yonglu woke up, He also went over to ask: Do you want to call home, or find a hotel in the town to rest."

With a solemn expression, Hu Pingtao picked up the phone and brought it to his lips: "Old Zhang, let me tell you the truth! This case involves quite a lot. If it happened recently, I will definitely investigate it to the bottom. But it is ten years away from now." It has been many years, times have changed, and you were not the specific person in charge at that time... In this way, from the perspective of a bystander, talk about your views on this case."

Zhang Liming said with a smile on the phone: "You, you... I knew you would say that. Let me declare first! I have already said that this is an accidental death, not murder. If you have accurate evidence, then You can fix it all you want. But if you don't, don't mess around."

Hu Pingtao said with a smile: "I understand the rules, that's why I said, I want to hear your opinion. After all, this matter has nothing to do with you. The eyes of outsiders are often much clearer than insiders."

Zhang Liming didn't procrastinate: "Okay! Then I'll talk about it. As I said before, this matter was handled by Lao Teng. At that time, he was the director here, so his signature was in the archives, and he There are testimonies of various witnesses, as well as photos taken at the scene. The state of the deceased is still quite miserable, after all, he fell from a cliff tens of meters high. An autopsy has also been done, and it was found that the alcohol content in Chen Yonglu exceeded the standard, and he had reached the level of drunkenness degree."

"I usually like to drink a few sips. From my own experience, if the alcohol intake reaches the level of Chen Yonglu at that time, I will definitely be top-heavy, let alone walking, I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to speak. But you know, drinking In fact, he is very clear-headed, and he should know what he is doing, or what he wants to do."

"Think about it differently. If I was in Chen Yonglu's position at the time, I would definitely go to the town to find a hotel, or a quiet place, and get some sleep."

"As for walking such a long mountain road and going home blindly...Maybe Chen Yonglu wants to save money and doesn't want to sleep outside. But if it's me, I can't save money like this!"

Zhang Liming is very slippery.What should be said seems to have been said, but in fact what he said has no reference.

Hu Pingtao chatted a few more words casually, then hung up the phone.

Ding Jian was listening, quite dissatisfied: "This Zhang Liming, he speaks so hesitantly. He is not cheerful at all."

Hu Pingtao explained: "It cannot be blamed on him. He is going to take a second job, and he will come back sooner or later. He just takes care of the daily life over there, and it is not his turn to deal with the case. Besides, it has been more than ten years since Chen Yonglu's case. It is already very good that Zhang Liming can help to check the information."

As he spoke, he clicked on the phone's address book.

Ding Jian watched Hu Pingtao's operation and asked, "Do you still need someone?"

Hu Pingtao gave a "hmm" and replied, "I'm looking for Teng Xinrong. Zhang Liming said that he was the person in charge at that time."

When the phone was connected, Hu Pingtao called out: "Brother Teng."

Teng Xinrong's laughter came from the other end of the phone: "Why did you think of calling me, kid? Is there something wrong?"

Hu Pingtao met Teng Xinrong through Ran Hongjun.After returning from a mission abroad, Ran Hongjun called some acquaintances in the hall and made an appointment for a meal.With Teng Xinrong's upright personality and Hu Pingtao's background in a military family, the two saw each other well and became close.

"Brother Teng, I really have something to do with you." Hu Pingtao talked about Chen Yonglu's fall from a cliff on the phone, and then talked about the current Cao's poisoning case: "I asked Zhang Liming, and he said about Chen Yonglu's case. Brother Teng was the one who handled it back then. I want to ask, is there any doubt about this matter in your opinion?"

"Chen Yonglu? Is his wife Liu Xiao'e?" Teng Xinrong has a good memory: "I know this matter well. That's right, I did it."

"If you want to talk about doubts, this is really not... I understand what you mean, don't worry! Chen Yonglu did fall to his death by accident. He was rushing home and drank too much alcohol. It happened that it rained a few days ago and the mountain road was slippery. He fell from the mountain and the forensic medical examination results showed that he died at the scene."

Hu Pingtao asked: "What I want to know is, what role did the Liu family and his son play in this?"

Teng Xinrong was silent for a few seconds, then sighed: "Since you asked, I'll tell you. In fact, at that time...my thoughts were the same as yours now. I think this is not an ordinary accidental death, it should be murder."

"Anyone who has a deep understanding of this matter will think that the Liu family and his son are suspected of crimes. But these three people are very cunning, and they have not left any evidence. Whether it is inviting Chen Yonglu to sell fungi in Songyang Town, or eating and drinking, In the end, Chen Yonglu was thrown in the restaurant and they left on their own, and there was nothing wrong with everything.”

"Liu De's daughter, Liu Xiaoe, married Chen Yonglu, and both sides are in-laws. To be honest, when I first heard about this, I couldn't help it, and cursed a few times in private. What about you... Liu Xiaoe was only so old at that time Not even 3. What about Chen Yonglu? He is six years older than Liu De. Later I learned that this marriage was done for money. Dead, but no matter what, she is still a young girl after all! Chen Yonglu gave [-] yuan as a bride price, and Liu De is equivalent to selling his daughter."

"I was at the scene that day, and Liu Xiao'e was crying like something with a big belly... Then she fell on the road and the child was gone."

Teng Xinrong's voice was a little dull on the phone: "Since then, I have felt that this case is tricky. I think the same as you. It is very likely that Chen Yonglu did not fall and died by himself. But after checking and checking, there is no change, and I also searched for it. No leads."

"The Liu family and his son have sufficient alibi. But no matter who was in my position at that time, they all know that this is pure nonsense."

"That bastard Liu De... Speaking of this guy, I can't help but want to scold him. It's been so many years, I've always remembered this. I've seen people who are greedy for money, but I've never seen anyone who is greedy for money like him. Good one Daughter, he just made it like that. Liu Xiaoe's facial features are natural, you know this? It could have been avoided, as long as Liu De's wife went to the hospital for a checkup when she was pregnant. But he didn't go, just to save that A bit of travel expenses. As a result, the daughter was born so hard to see, Liu De...isn't this a waste of people!"

"When I was investigating in Maguhe Village, I heard people in the village say: In fact, Liu De wanted to kill Liu Xiao'e a long time ago. She was only a few months old at that time. Liu De felt that she was a daughter anyway, and she would lose money when she grew up. Besides, Liu Xiao'e was born with cleft lips, so she won't be able to marry when she grows up. Instead of raising her at home and wasting food, it's better to kill her as soon as possible."

"Fortunately, Liu De's mother, that is, Liu Xiao'e's grandma, forced her granddaughter to go and raise her by herself. This is what happened later."

"Xiao Hu, let me tell you, Liu De's hit hit definitely wanted Chen Yonglu to die. The thing is obvious, Chen Yonglu has no parents, no children. Although he has a few relatives, they don't communicate much at ordinary times. They are the kind who hardly move around. .Chen Yonglu is... Generally speaking, he is quite diligent, and he has saved some money. But he is uneducated and has a rude temper... Well, let me explain! When I said he saved some money, I meant food Maguhe Village is very poor, and the government's support policy was implemented later. In the early years, people there could only farm the land, or go out to work. Chen Yonglu actually can't earn much money selling grain every year, but he One good thing is that she can be patient and endure hardships, so she has cows, pigs, and so on. Liu Xiaoe bought a few sheep after she got married, and there are more than 30 chickens in the family, which is considered a very good family in the village.”

"Because the people in this village know the basics, and because Chen Yonglu was very brave when he was young, drinking and fighting, and his reputation in the neighborhood was not good, no one wanted to marry his daughter to him. Moreover, Chen Yonglu also had his own ideas. It seems that A good-looking woman requires a lot of bride price, which is equivalent to emptying the family at once, so Chen Yonglu never got married until the matchmaker came to ask him if he was interested in Liu Xiaoe."

Hearing this, Hu Pingtao was a little confused, and asked suspiciously: "What on earth is Chen Yonglu thinking? You don't want someone who is good-looking, but you have to find someone like Liu Xiao'e who is naturally disfigured?"

Teng Xinrong explained: "You don't understand, you haven't been to Maguhe. If you go, you stay there for a year or so, I guess you can understand what Chen Yonglu thinks."

"Money is only real if you hold it in your own hands. As for the wife... For the men over there, it's just a tool to carry on the family line. If you find a charming star, it's useless at all over there."
