Attending ex-girlfriend's wedding, arresting the groom's officer on the spot

The body was sorted out by the forensic doctor, who then went back to collect information related to the autopsy, which was done by Wang Zhaokai and his team of people.

The results of the DNA information comparison will not be available until tonight at the earliest, so during this period of time, Lu Chuan and his team carefully asked Zhang Datou about the specific circumstances of the missing case 5 days ago.

The person who reported the case was Li Xiaofeng’s wife Zhang Yan.

In the police station, Zhang Datao was giving a detailed introduction to the case at that time.

The technicians had already returned to the Criminal Police Brigade with the body, but Lu Chuan, Wang Zhaokai and others did not need to go back. DNA information comparison was relatively simple and the technicians could do it, so Lu Chuan did not need to worry about it.

So he stayed here to study the circumstances of the missing case. Judging from the current signs, it is very likely that the deceased was the missing person at that time.

"The missing person is Li Xiaofeng, a permanent resident of the village. His father Li Dagui and mother Qin Cuihua also live in the village."

There is relatively little information recorded in the missing case file, but Zhang Datou was the one who followed up on the case personally at the time, so he is very clear about all the details.

"But the person who reported the missing person was not Li Xiaofeng's father, Li Dagui, but his wife, Zhang Yan."

"Five days ago, on March 5, we received a call from Zhang Yan saying that her husband Li Xiaofeng was missing."

Zhang Datao turned on the projector while introducing.

The photo above shows a middle-aged man who appears to be in his 30s, with unkempt hair and looking very listless.

But the location of this photo is very interesting, this is a detention photo.

Zhang Datao went on to say, "This person is Li Xiaofeng, who is addicted to gambling. He was dealt with by the police station more than ten years ago. He has been a gambler for several years and we have cracked down on him several times."

Speaking of this Li Xiaofeng, some policemen in the police station knew him. He was a frequent visitor. Around the Spring Festival, as long as gambling was cracked down, there was a high probability that this person would be caught.

During the Spring Festival this year, the police station found him playing cards during a routine inspection. There was no money on the table at the time, but they were given a verbal warning.

"Now they have learned to be smart. When playing cards, they don't put money on the cards. The price of each card is calculated after the game. And now they don't transfer money. They pay in cash."

Zhang Datao has been working as a grassroots policeman in the police station for many years and has been there for quite a while. He is very familiar with such trivial matters and such tricks.

However, because there was no substantial evidence, Zhang Datou and his team could not take the person away directly. They could only give a verbal warning at the time.

As the saying goes, to catch an adulterer, you have to catch two people at the same table. The same goes for gambling at mahjong. You have to see if there is money on the table.

"What was the specific situation of the disappearance?"

Wang Zhaokai asked.

Zhang Datao went on to explain.

"We have actually been following up on this case over the past few days. We received the call at about 3pm on March 25, five days ago, when we were about to get off work."

According to Zhang Datao, the person who called to report the case was Li Xiaofeng's wife Zhang Yan. According to Zhang Yan, the real time when Li Xiaofeng disappeared was actually the morning of March 3, which was seven days ago.

"According to Zhang Yan, Li Xiaofeng left home seven days ago and never came back."

Li Xiaofeng left home without eating breakfast that morning. Zhang Yan asked him what he was doing, but Li Xiaofeng did not answer at that time. However, after he did not come back for a day, Zhang Yan called Li Xiaofeng, but the phone was turned off and Li Xiaofeng could no longer be contacted.

"Why didn't Zhang Yan call that day?"

Lu Chuan asked.

Since Li Xiaofeng disappeared on the 24th, why did Zhang Yaner call the police only in the afternoon of the 25th?

Zhang Datao explained: "We were also surprised at the time. Since Zhang Yan could no longer contact Li Xiaofeng, it seemed that Li Xiaofeng had already shown obvious signs of disappearance."

"The reason was that the two had a quarrel on the night of the 23rd, and Li Xiaofeng even beat his wife Zhang Yan. When we received the call and went to investigate, Zhang Yan'er still had bruises on her face that had not yet disappeared."

Zhang Datao continued: "Zhang Yan thought her husband had gone out to gamble again, so she turned off her phone so he wouldn't find her. The next morning she found her husband hadn't come back yet, and that's when she realised something was wrong.

However, on the morning of the 25th, Zhang Yan did not call the police. Instead, she called Li Xiaofeng's father, Li Da Kui, and told him that Li Xiaofeng was missing.

When Li Dagui heard his daughter-in-law Zhang Yan talk about this, he was shocked and immediately rushed back from Tianzhou City.

"Tianzhou City?"

Wang Zhaokai asked: "Are Li Xiaofeng's father and mother not in the village?"

Zhang Datao shook his head. "Li Xiaofeng owed a lot of gambling debts in the past few years. Li Xiaofeng's father sold his house to pay off his debts. He had no place to live, so he went to Tianzhou City to work. On the one hand, he paid off their debts, and on the other hand, he supported his son's life."

It turns out that Li Xiaofeng is the only son in the family. Apart from an older sister, he is the only child. His father Li Dagui and mother have doted on him since he was a child.

The consequence was that Li Xiaofeng dropped out of school very early. After dropping out of school, he stayed at home all the time. He was unemployed and did not farm or go out to work. He just lived off his parents.

Fortunately, Li Dagui was very capable and had saved some money in the village over the years, so he found a wife for Li Xiaofeng. Everyone thought that Li Xiaofeng would feel at peace after getting married, but unexpectedly, something went wrong after the marriage.

After getting married, Li Xiaofeng became even more idle. Not only did he not work properly, but he also became addicted to drugs. In the past few years, he went out to gamble every day and owed gambling debts of more than 100,000 or 200,000 yuan.

The money used to pay for Li Xiaofeng's marriage and build a new house for him had already emptied the pockets of Li Dagui and his wife.

In order to pay off Li Xiaofeng's gambling debts, Li Dagui had no choice but to sell the house.

Zhang Datao was quite familiar with Li Xiaofeng's situation. He went on to explain: "Li Dagui had a good network of contacts in the village. After paying off his son's gambling debts, although he lost his house, he still had the possibility of making a comeback. He borrowed 15 yuan from relatives and friends to contract the riverside land in the village."

"He originally thought that he would make some money from this river beach land and then build a house, but he didn't expect that there would be a heavy rain and flood that year, and all the river beaches were flooded. His 15 yuan was directly wasted, and his family's life began to suffer from then on." (End of this chapter)
