Serious Crime Unit 1

Chapter 830 The final truth (4)
Du Qingjiang said that he and Zhao Yixiu did have a tryst in the park that night, and they had sex on a bench, so his semen would remain in Zhao Yixiu's body.Of course, shoe prints and fingerprints were left on the floor and benches.However, Zhao Yixiu's parents did not admit that Du Qingjiang and Zhao Yixiu were lovers. Du Qingjiang must have wanted to rape Zhao Yixiu but was rejected. He became angry and strangled Zhao Yixiu to death with a ribbon. After venting his anger, he ran away.

The police also sided with Zhao Yixiu's parents, believing that Du Qingjiang strangled Zhao Yixiu to death, and then went to Luoji Food Stall on Dongjiang Road to drink to prove his alibi.

Du Qingjiang refused to admit that he had strangled Zhao Yixiu. He believed that some gangster must have seen Zhao Yixiu's beauty and relatively revealing clothes. He was motivated by sex and wanted to do something wrong. But when Zhao Yixiu refused, he became angry and strangled her to death.

The police believed that Du Qingjiang's statement was illogical. Since the murderer wanted to commit rape, why was there only Du Qingjiang's semen in Zhao Yixiu's body?
Du Qingjiang could not explain this problem. The police interrogated Du Qingjiang for two months. In the end, Du Qingjiang admitted that he had strangled Zhao Yixiu. However, in court, Du Qingjiang recanted his confession and said that all his statements were made by the police. As a result of torture, he definitely did not kill Zhao Yixiu.

The lawyer also defended Du Qingjiang's innocence. He listed many similar cases and overturned all the police evidence. However, the chief prosecutor Tang Mingshi and the presiding judge Fang Weihai both believed that Du Qingjiang's criminal facts were clear and the evidence was conclusive and sufficient. The complete chain of evidence finally gave Du Qingjiang a suspended death sentence.

The whole case is like this.On the surface, this case can indeed form a complete chain of evidence. After seeing it, most people will not think that this is an unjust case. When the No. 1 Serious Case Team investigated the suspect, they did not take the dead person into account. The suspects were included in the scope of the investigation, so Hu Ke and Du Qingjiang were missed.

The key to the case is: Are Du Qingjiang and Zhao Yixiu a couple?To prove this, we have to find Du Qingjiang's friends from back then, such as Jiang Wei.

In the Zhao Yixiu case file, 18 relatives and friends of Du Qingjiang and Zhao Yixiu were interviewed by the police. They all said they did not know the relationship between Du Qingjiang and Zhao Yixiu. Among them, Jiang Wei was Du Qingjiang's best friend, and he also said no. Understand their relationship.

But why did Jiang Qi call Du Qingjiang in the first place to tell him that his girlfriend Zhao Yixiu had been murdered?This is very strange. If you want to solve this mystery, you must re-interview the 18 people who were questioned at that time. Jiang Yiming first thought of Jiang Qi.

Jiang Yiming found Jiang Wei's contact information. He called Jiang Wei and said he wanted to visit him, and he agreed.Jiang Qi is now the general manager of Huada Hotel, a four-star hotel, which shows that Jiang Qi is doing well.

Jiang received Jiang Yiming and Zhou Ting in his office: "Captain Jiang, you are distinguished guests. What kind of tea would you like to drink? I have many famous teas here."

"General, we are used to living a simple life, so there is no need to be particular. We are here to handle the case." Jiang Yiming replied politely.

"Handling cases? I am a good citizen and I will never do anything illegal. My experience as a soldier and a co-op has strengthened my will not to deviate."

"We are here for Du Qingjiang's case. We have seen Zhao Yixiu's case. The criminal police who handled it at that time also visited you. The transcript states that you did not know that Du Qingjiang and Zhao Yixiu were a couple, but you were the first A man called Du Qingjiang to tell him that his girlfriend had been killed. Isn't this inconsistent?"

"Du Qingjiang has been dead for many years, so there is no point in saying this, right?"

"It makes sense because he is involved in a serial murder case." Jiang Yiming looked at him sincerely.

"Okay, then I'll tell the truth. Du Qingjiang and Zhao Yixiu are indeed a couple, and they have been in a relationship for at least half a year. I even went with them personally to help them open a house, because Du Qingjiang had no income, so I went to help They paid for it.”

"Why did you say something against your will, causing your good friend Du Qingjiang to be convicted of murder?"

"It's not that I want to say something against my will, but Cheng Guihui and they want me to say something against my will. I was criticized by my boss for saying that they were a couple, and I also lost my job as a police co-ordinator. Eight of my friends spoke for Du Qingjiang. , so they were arrested by the police under various pretexts, and five of them were even sentenced. Do you think they are powerful after returning?"

"Oh, if there is such a thing, why doesn't anyone expose it?"

"The environment at that time was too harsh, it was so dark. Anyone who spoke for Du Qingjiang was in trouble. I can guarantee with my personality: Du Qingjiang would never kill Zhao Yixiu. Du Qingjiang protected Zhao Yixiu as a goddess. Why? Maybe he strangled her, Du Qingjiang was more unjust than Dou E..." At this point, he choked up a little.

"Thank you for your sincere help. With your words, we can guide our reconnaissance direction." Jiang Yiming stood up, shook hands with him, and then walked out of Jiang Wei's office.His heart felt like a big stone, very heavy.

Jiang Yiming and Zhou Ting interviewed five more people who had been sentenced to different sentences. They all agreed that Du Qingjiang was tortured to extract confessions by Cheng Gui and the others, and that it was an out-and-out injustice.

Jiang Yiming sat at Fang Lihua's desk and reported to him on the secret investigation of Du Qingjiang these days.After hearing this, Fang Lihua asked in surprise: "You guys, restarted the investigation of the Du Qingjiang case, why didn't you report it to me?" "We didn't restart the investigation process. In order not to alert the snake, we just investigated in secret. If Du Qingjiang is like Hu Ke, If you commit suicide, there will be no survivors. A case without survivors is not perfect. I'm sorry, Fang Bureau."

"Just don't treat me like an outsider on your guard." Fang Lihua took a sip of water from the special teacup on the table and said with a smile.

"Fang Jue, I need your strong support. How dare I treat you as an outsider? To be honest, so far, we have all made assumptions and speculations. There is no evidence to prove that Du Qingjiang faked his death, because it is very difficult for Du Qingjiang to fake his death. , Cooperation from all parties is required, but Du Qingjiang should have been wronged, he did not kill Zhao Yixiu, he was tortured by Cheng Guihui and others to extract a confession."

"We cannot restart the investigation of the Zhao Yixiu case. You know, it is difficult to overturn these old cases and will encounter great resistance from all parties. We need to find evidence that Du Qingjiang committed suicide before we can confirm that Du Qingjiang Not the murderer who did not murder Tang Mingshi and Fang Weihai."

"So, I am here today to ask for your support. Only by opening the coffin and conducting an autopsy can we prove whether the deceased in the tomb is Du Qingjiang. Maybe there is nothing in the coffin."

"Oh, didn't Du Qingjiang be taken to the crematorium for cremation?"

"No, Du Qingjiang is a minority, and the government allows them to be buried. Du Qingjiang probably took advantage of this and faked his death. If my inference is correct, there should be no Du Qingjiang's bones in the coffin."

"Do you want me to find a way to do ideological work for Tongdu people?"

"If Du Qingjiang really faked his death, then no one can do anything to understand the ideological work of Du people, because he must be the mastermind, or at least an accomplice. All I need is your permission to open the coffin and conduct an autopsy. According to relevant laws, the public security department must pass a certain The procedure can force the coffin to be opened and an autopsy conducted.”

"There are doubts about the case. Of course we have the right and responsibility to open the coffin and conduct an autopsy. Even if Du Zimin strongly objects, it will be useless. I agree with your approach." Fang Lihua nodded to Jiang Yiming.

"Thank you Fang Ju for your support. Now I feel reassured." After saying that, he walked out of Fang Lihua's office.

It was a sunny day. As soon as everyone got to work, Jiang Yiming led the No. 1 Crime Team to Tomb No. 17, Row 27, Lingbaoshan. Du Qingjiang was buried here. Everyone took shovels, hoes and pry tools to pry open Du Qingjiang. On the grave, I soon saw the rotting coffin.

They worked together to drag the coffin out of the tomb, and then pried open the lid of the coffin. Everyone was very surprised when they saw it, because there was a white skeleton lying inside. The skeleton's eye sockets were very large, and its mouth was open, as if scolding them for interrupting. His sweet dream.

"Captain Jiang, how could this happen? Are all our assumptions wrong?" Xiao Ke looked at Jiang Yiming and asked. Jiang Yiming was deep in thought and did not answer.

"Xiao Ke, don't worry, maybe this skeleton is not Du Qingjiang's, but someone is trying to hide it..." Luo Jin said to Xiao Ke, then took out a tape measure, measured the length of the skeleton, and said while measuring, "The skeleton The length was only 168 centimeters. According to the formula for the degree of flesh decay, the deceased could not have exceeded 175 centimeters, which was at least 5 centimeters shorter than Du Qingjiang."

"In other words, after Du Qingjiang was buried, he was dug up again late that night, and then someone put another body in the coffin to replace Du Qingjiang. Even if the police opened the coffin for an autopsy, they would not be afraid of being identified?" Zhou Ting asked.

"Yes, Du Qingjiang, like Hu Ke, successfully completed the golden cicada's escape plan and continued to live in a corner of the city. He worked hard for more than ten years, waiting for the best time to kill Tang Mingshi and Fang Weihai." Jiang Yiming replied.

"As long as we bring the skeleton back to the criminal police team and conduct DNA testing on the skeleton, we will know whether the skeleton belongs to Du Qingjiang. Technology is the best tool to break superstition." Luo Jin said.

So, they took the skeleton out, put it on a plastic sheet, wrapped it well to avoid damage, and then carried the skeleton to the car and transported it back to prepare biological samples from the dental pulp for DNA comparison.

Then everyone stuffed the coffin back into the grave, blocked it with stones, and erected the tombstone, making it look like it was before digging, so as not to let outsiders know.

"If the skeleton is not Du Qingjiang, then who is it? Will Du Qingjiang kill others to replace himself?"
