Chapter 108: Follow the clues (please subscribe, please vote!)
After forensic autopsy, the deceased who was dug up from the grave was aged 35-39 years old, died around November 2021, and was 11cm tall.

Based on the information given by the forensic doctor, Li Xiang and Party Secretary Li comprehensively sorted out the situation of the [-] households in Lijia Village.

But after research, they found no qualified candidates.

"No, let me help you ask a few villages next door to see if they have any clues."

Party Secretary Li also knew the Party secretaries of several surrounding villages, so he volunteered that he could help.

"That's a good feeling."

Under the coordination of Party Secretary Li, Li Xiang and the others got in touch with the Party Secretaries of several surrounding villages and learned more about the population situation of their village with them.

After some understanding, they all said that in their village, there was no situation in their village where just one person in the family disappeared without reporting the matter as Li Xiang said.

Generally, there are only a few hundred households in a village, and everyone knows each other's situation. If not, then the locals are basically excluded.

"Who could it be? Is the processing factory recruiting employees from outside the city?"

Li Xiang was puzzled, but at present this was the only explanation.

"It seems we have to start investigating from that piece of clothing."

After going around in a circle, Li Xiang returned to the starting point again.

We still have to start investigating from that piece of clothing. After all, that piece of clothing is one of the few clues the police have.

Just as Li Xiang and the others were on their way to the processing plant, he suddenly received a call from Party Secretary Li. The village party secretary from Wujiadai next door called Party Secretary Li. He suddenly thought of someone, but he couldn't be sure.

With the news, Li Xiang and Mao Ji immediately turned around and went to the village party secretary's house in Wujiadai to learn about the situation.

"I suddenly thought of someone, but I'm not sure."

"Uncle Wu, it's okay. If you have any clues, you can report them. We will go back to verify the specific situation." This is the purpose of the visit. They will encounter various small clues, and what they have to do is to verify these clues and see if they are correct. Does this case help?

"The fourth family at the west end of the village is Wu Guihua's family. His family originally had five children. Later, because of poor family conditions, they gave away a young son. This young son was found back three years ago, but after living for a while , it was said that he had returned to his adoptive parents, so I didn’t take it seriously. Later, thinking about it, his age and height are consistent with what you said, but I don’t know if it’s him.”

After understanding, Wu Guihua's family had three sons and two daughters. The poorer they were, the more they wanted to have children. Later, they were unable to raise them, so they gave away a younger son. This younger son had the same surname as his adoptive father: Gu Hongye.

After Li Xiang and the others learned about this situation, they immediately came to the place mentioned by the village party secretary, the fourth house at the west end of the village, Wu Guihua's house.

Arriving at the door of his house, the environment inside can be described as a house with four walls, which is not an exaggeration.

Other people's exterior walls can still be painted with a layer of cement, but their homes are just red bricks without any modifications, and their doors are also stained with rust.

Li Xiang knocked on the door, and after a while an old man who looked very old opened the door.

"Hello, are you Wu Guihua's family? We are from the Jinghai City Public Security Bureau."

"Yes, what's the matter with you?"

"That's right, do you know Gu Hongye?"

Hearing Gu Hongye's name, the expression on Wu Guihua's face dropped visibly: "Are you here to find him? He has returned to his own home."

"We are not here to find him. We are here to find out about his situation. Can we have a brief chat with you?"

Wu Guihua hesitated for a moment, then let Li Xiang and the others enter the house.

Walking into the house, there is still one word, poor.

There are no decent household appliances at home. The only household appliance that counts is the light bulb.

"Are you alone at home?"

"Yes, the old lady went to her second daughter's house."

"Then why don't you come along and enjoy the happiness?"

"When people get old, they no longer burden their children. It's an eyesore." There was no complaint in Wu Guihua's tone. Some of them were just seventy years old, and they could see through the indifference of human nature.

"There are no clean stools at home, so feel free to ask if you have anything."

Wu Guihua sat down on the bed at home. The bed and quilt were extremely dirty, but as a single old man at home, he didn't expect it to be very clean.

"When did Gu Hongye come back?"

“It was 20 years ago, I don’t remember the exact time.”

"Then when did he leave?"

"About 21 years, I don't remember the exact time."

"Then where is his adoptive parents' home?"

"In Jishi Town next door, his adoptive father's name is Gu Dahai."

Li Xiang and the others focused on Gu Hongye's situation, including the situation with his adoptive parents. Through the conversation, they did not find anything unusual about Wu Guihua. However, when they talked about Gu Hongye, the old man complained, saying that he was too lazy to eat. , just drove him back.

"Okay, Uncle Wu, you go ahead and get busy, and we'll go back first."

After bidding farewell to Wu Guihua, Li Xiang and the others rushed to Jishi Town next door without stopping to find Gu Dahai to verify the situation.

If Gu Hongye really just returned to his adoptive parents, then this line would be broken. They would still have to start with the clothes and start sorting out the clues again.

Based on the address provided by Wu Guihua, Li Xiang and the others successfully found Gu Dahai's home. After some inquiries, they learned that Gu Hongye never came back after returning to his biological parents' home.

"Didn't go back? So Wu Guihua lied?"

In other words, the deceased was most likely Gu Hongye.

"Let's go find him again and see what he says this time."

Then Li Xiang and the others returned to Xinqiao Town again and came to Wu Guihua's home in Wujiadai.Maybe he didn't expect that the police would be so efficient.

"We just went to Gu Dahai's house. Gu Hongye didn't go back to that house at all that year. Do you know where he went?"

"Not home? My legs are on him. How could I know where he has gone? Don't bother me old man. I really don't know where he has gone. When I sent him away, I just pretended that I had never given birth to this child. ”

Wu Guihua's attitude changed obviously this time, and he became more impatient with Li Xiang's inquiries.

Li Xiang and Mao Ji looked at each other, and they both understood the message in each other's eyes: There's something wrong!

Immediately, neither of them took the initiative to challenge him, but followed his thoughts and said, "Okay, if you have any news about Gu Hongye, please inform our police as soon as possible. This is my phone number."

After Mao Ji gave his phone number to Wu Guihua, he took Li Xiang and left.

In the car, Li Xiang said with certainty: "It seems that we have found the source of the corpse."

Gu Hongye's age and height basically matched the characteristics of the deceased, and he was a local. At the same time, he disappeared, which fit in the police's screening range for the deceased.

"If the source of the body is Gu Hongye, then why did Wu Guihua hide it from us? Does he know who the murderer is? Is he covering for the murderer?" Mao Ji guessed.

"Maybe he is the murderer."

Li wanted to recall that when Wu Guihua just took the interview notes, the other party expressed a lot of dissatisfaction with Gu Hongye in his words, talking about idleness, but this wouldn't kill him, right?
"He is so young and very old. It is not easy to kill a 35-year-old young man, right? And you can see the chopping of the bones, which is not something an old man can accomplish."

Mao Ji felt exactly the opposite. If the deceased was really Gu Hongye, then he was willing to believe that Wu Guihua was an insider rather than the murderer.

"Let's not talk about this now. The top priority is to determine the identity of the deceased first. Whether it is Gu Hongye or not is still unknown. We are reasoning and reasoning now. The deceased is not him, and everything is in vain."

"That's true. It's easy to verify the identity. Just collect the DNA of Wu Guihua and his wife and send it to the laboratory for comparison."

"If the deceased is really Gu Hongye, and Wu Guihua is an insider, I'm afraid he won't cooperate with us in collecting blood, right?"

If their guess is true, then Wu Guihua must know that the body has been dug out at this time, and the police are also investigating at this time. They will definitely further interfere with the police's sight. If they want to collect their blood samples, there will be no way So easy.

"It's simple. When the time comes, let's let our technical police disguise themselves as medical examiners from health centers and go to rural areas to provide voluntary physical examinations for the elderly."

Mao Ji disagreed. There are many ways to collect their blood samples. They have rich experience in solving crimes and often encounter this situation. Every year, volunteer workers from the health center in the village go to the countryside to participate in free clinics and provide medical services to the lonely elderly people in the countryside. Free physical examination, and the police can use this name to obtain their blood samples.

"That's a good way."

Li Xiang didn't expect that there was such a cool operation, so he would avoid alerting Wu Guihua.

Therefore, Li Xiang and the others reported the situation of today's investigation to Team Cao, who asked the leader to coordinate with the town health center to organize a free clinic and collect Wu Guihua's blood.

The plan went well. The next day, a free clinic convoy from the town drove to Wujiadai. Along with the car were technical policemen from the Jinghai Public Security Bureau, disguised as free clinic staff, and went to the countryside to participate in free clinic activities.

When collecting blood for Wu Guihua, he had no doubts and even asked the doctor at the free clinic to measure his blood pressure and blood sugar.

After collecting Wu Guihua's blood sample, the technical police immediately sent him back to the laboratory for expedited DNA comparison.

Three hours later, the data came out.

"How is it? Are the data compared?"

Seeing everyone's eager anticipation, Zhou Man returned to the office with the report and said with certainty: "Yes, the deceased is Gu Hongye."

"Great, now let's see what Wu Guihua has to say."

There is no doubt that Wu Guihua lied in front of the evidence. He must be an insider. He said before that Gu Hongye returned to his adoptive parents' home. It was not just an excuse. On the one hand, he told the villagers, and on the other hand, it was also used to confuse the police. investigation.

It's just that he thought the police were too simple. If a murder occurred, the police would not give up so easily. As long as there were clues, they would follow the clues and pursue them.

Li Xiang and the others did not waste time. After getting the test report, they went to Wu Guihua's house in Wujiadai with Mao Ji again.

An hour later, Li Xiang and the others stood at the door of Wu Guihua's house and knocked on the door.

"What are you doing here again? I told you, I don't know where Gu Hongye went." Wu Guihua became impatient after seeing Li Xiang and the others.

Li Xiang came here for the third time, which made him feel a little uneasy and uneasy, as if he knew something was about to be exposed.

"You don't know, but we already know. Do you want us to say it here?"

Wu Guihua sighed when he heard Li Xiang's words, and then opened the door and let Li Xiang and the others in.

Then he walked into the room without saying a word. At that moment, Li Xiang could clearly see that his back was hunched a lot.

Li Xiang and the others followed him. It was still the same room and the same bed. But at this time, Wu Guihua silently took out his dry cigarette, took out some shredded tobacco from the cigarette bag and filled it, then took out the match and said, "Stick it." A ignition sound.

suck~
The whole set of movements is very slow but smooth. After taking a deep breath, he blows out the smoke ring and shows an expression of enjoyment.

Li Xiang said they didn't rush him and just looked at him quietly.

"Yes, I killed people."

When Wu Guihua admitted that he had killed the man, Mao Ji immediately retorted: "Impossible. Your son is 35 years old and in his prime. Even if you kill a pig for you, you may not be able to handle it, let alone a big job." People."

Wu Guihua did not retort, but puffed on the cigarette holder, puffed it out, and after taking three or four puffs, he said: "My youngest son came back three years ago. When he first came back, he was still helping us with everything at home." , but as time goes by, human nature is exposed. They are lazy, have no long-term ambition, and refuse to work hard. After working in the factory for two days, they feel tired and can’t go back. .”

Like a memory, Wu Guihua's eyes were unfocused, and he just looked out the window, and then he smoked cigarettes one after another.

"What kind of money can I have? He robbed and spent all the money I spent growing food. The living expenses that my other children gave me were taken away by him without even covering the bags. If I didn't give it to him, he would beat me. Old man, with my old arms and legs, how could I withstand his beating? There was no way, and all the money I had later was given to him."

"But he was still not satisfied. He came back drunk that day and asked me for money. I gave him all my money, so where could I have any more money? He didn't listen. I didn't want to give him any money because I didn't want to give it to him. Even He also took out a hatchet and threatened me with giving me money, and I really had no money at that time.”

Hearing this, Li Xiang felt a little confused and couldn't help but interrupt Wu Guihua: "Do your other children know about this situation?"

"I know, but what can they do if they know? What can you do to a rogue? They are also afraid of getting into trouble. Once this dog-skin plaster sticks to them, they can't shake it off."

The deep helplessness in Wu Guihua's words is indeed touching. The saying that the most humble person is invincible probably refers to this kind of person.
