I made a copy at the police station

"Liu Tingting, 38 years old, from Haozhou, married, married to Jiangzhou. If this photo hadn't looked so similar to her, I might have ignored her. After all, the address and age didn't match up. Then I changed my mind. Look, this is an unsolved case. If her family did not call the police, she would not be marked as a missing person, so her age should be pushed forward at least 15 years. The most important thing is that her current ID card has expired. It has never been reissued.”

A lot of information is reflected in the public security household registration system.

Liu Tingting's photos still show her appearance when she was about 20 years old.

This is why the system can compare him.

"Who is her husband?"

Now that she has a target, the one person Li wants to target is her husband.

This is also the logical inertia of the police in handling cases. If one of the husband and wife dies, the probability that the murderer is the other half is very high.

"Lin Dazhuang, a native of Jiangzhou, was punished by public security last year for soliciting prostitution. He now lives in Room 7, Unit 204, Building [-], Luyuan Community, Jiangzhou."

"Li Yue, take a group of people and go to Haozhou to find Liu Tingting's family and collect their DNA biological materials to confirm their identity."

"Yes." Li Yue was very straightforward. He immediately called two people, brought their tools, and went on a business trip with him. A group of people bought tomorrow's train tickets.

"Yang Ming, you and I go to Jiangzhou."

Li Xiang also had some doubts in his heart. He didn't know if this person looked like Liu Tingting, or if she was Liu Tingting.

Lin Dazhuang was from Jiangzhou, and Liu Tingting married in Jiangzhou. If she really died, why was she buried in the provincial capital?
Or is it that the young couple went out to work, and Lin Dazhuang returned to Jiangzhou alone after killing Liu Tingting?

What is the truth requires them to go to Jiangzhou for on-the-spot investigation.

"Go back and get ready. This trip may take two days. Bring a change of clothes."

"Yes."

The two groups of people each took their own tasks and were ready to set off.
-
Early on the next morning, Li Xiang and the others drove a police car and set off for Jiangzhou.

After driving for two and a half hours, we got off the expressway and headed straight to Luyuan Community.

After another half an hour, we finally arrived at our destination and parked the car in the parking space in front of Unit 7, Building [-].

The group went to the door and knocked.

dong dong dong~
There was no response at the door.

"Maybe he went to work, wait."

Then he returned to the car and began to follow him, waiting for Lin Dazhuang to get off work before getting out of the car.

At noon, Yang Ming went to buy some instant noodles, and everyone ate some casually.

It was not until 6:00 in the evening that Li Xiang finally saw Lin Dazhuang coming back on an electric bicycle.

"Let's go, Lin Dazhuang is back."

Everyone got out of the car and stopped Lin Dazhuang at the door of the unit building in the community.

Although Li Xiang and others were dressed in police uniforms and got out of the police car, Lin Dazhuang still subconsciously said nervously: "Who are you? What do you want to do?"

"Is your name Lin Dazhuang?"

"My name is Lin Dazhuang."

"Hello, we are from the investigation team of the Provincial Public Security Department. We need to ask you about some things. Is it convenient for you?"

"Investigation team of the Provincial Public Security Department?"

Lin Dazhuang is an honest and honest man. After hearing what Li wanted to say, his legs trembled with fear and even his voice trembled: "What are you looking for me for?"

"We would like to know something about your wife Liu Tingting."

After Li wanted to finish, everyone stared at Lin Dazhuang, wanting to see his reaction when he heard the words "Liu Tingting".

"Liu Tingting?"

Lin Dazhuang was stunned at first, and then asked nervously: "What are you looking for her for?"

"She's dead."

Hearing that Liu Tingting was dead, he was stunned again. Then he glanced at Li Xiang and others, and seemed to understand something: "I didn't do it."

"We didn't say it was you who did it, we just need you to cooperate with the investigation."

Before there was any evidence to prove that Lin Dazhuang was the murderer, the police only had suspicions. Under this premise, they were looking for relevant clues.

"It's okay to stand at the door. Come upstairs with me and sit in the house."

After Lin Dazhuang saw that someone was paying attention to their situation at the door, he felt that it would be bad to continue standing here, so he prepared to bring the police to his home.

Li Xiang nodded and followed Lin Dazhuang to Room 204.

After Lin Dazhuang opened the door, he said to Li Xiang and the others: "I didn't know you were coming. The house is a little messy. You guys sit on the sofa for a while and I'll boil some water."

"Don't bother, let's ask a few questions and leave."

Li Xiang thought that after they entered the house, they smelled a smell that they didn't know whether it was smelly socks or the smell of the bathroom. In short, the smell in the house was not good.

The house is not a little messy as Lin Dazhuang said, but very messy. Dirty clothes are thrown everywhere, and stinky socks are here and there.

The shoes piled at the door are messy and dirty, and the bowls in the kitchen that were eaten yesterday have not been washed yet.

In short, after entering the house, Li Xiang and the others felt that this person lived a sloppy life and the house was messy and unmanaged.

"Okay, whatever you ask, I'll tell you, is Liu Tingting really dead? I didn't kill him."

Lin Dazhuang was a little nervous and stumbled when he spoke.

Li Xiang could feel that his nervousness was not because he had a guilty conscience, but because he was really very timid, the kind of nervous reaction that ordinary people would have when seeing the police.

Yang Ming knocked on the table and corrected: "Are you asking us or are we asking you?"

"Ask me, ask me."

Hearing Yang Ming's serious tone, Lin Dazhuang felt a little embarrassed.

"Who are you Liu Tingting?"

"She's my wife."

"How is your relationship as a couple? Do you often quarrel?"

Lin Dazhuang was a little worried that if he answered that the couple had a bad relationship or had a quarrel, the police would mistake him for killing him, so he replied: "We have a good relationship and don't quarrel much. I really didn't kill him. We just had a quarrel 18 years ago." After the quarrel, she packed up her things and ran back to her parents' house, and never came back." "Don't we rarely quarrel? Why did you say that after the quarrel, she packed up her things and ran back to her parents' house? Which of your words is true? ?You know you are legally responsible for lying to the police."

Hearing Yang Ming's stern question, Lin Dazhuang became even more panicked: "Don't speak, don't lie. Quarrel between husband and wife is inevitable. As the saying goes, quarrels at the head of the bed and at the end of the bed. That time I didn't expect that she would have another fight after she ran back to her parents' home." He didn’t come back either.”

"Didn't you go look for her when she didn't come back?"

"I called her and she said she didn't want to have sex with me. I said I would go to her hometown to find her, but she asked me not to go, saying she had gone to the provincial capital."

"Then did you go to the provincial capital to look for her?"

Lin Dazhuang shook his head: "No, I get carsick. I haven't traveled far since I was a child."

"Who can testify?"

"The boss of our unit, Huang Lichun, has been my colleague for more than [-] years. I have been working there and rarely ask for leave."

Later, Li Xiang and others learned about the relationship between him and Liu Tingting, and learned that Liu Tingting had always been relatively strong in the marriage. If he was slightly unsatisfied, he would often beat and scold him, and Lin Dazhuang would sometimes fight back.

After all, Liu Tingting is a woman. Once Lin Dazhuang takes action, she will definitely suffer. She will be beaten until her nose is bruised and her face is swollen, and then she will run back to her parents' home.

In the past, Lin Dazhuang said good things and she came back.

But after that time, I really never came back.

Fortunately, there were no children between the two, so Liu Tingting left relatively decisively.

Since then, Lin Dazhuang has never married again, nor does he have much grooming. He has lived alone for 18 years.

The house is a mess, and I am too lazy to clean it up, so I spend another year in a muddle.

"This is my phone number. If you recall any important clues, you can call me to report it."

"well."

Lin Dazhuang took the business card, glanced at it, and pressed it under the glass of the coffee table.

After coming out of Room 204, Yang Ming couldn't help but said: "I think this Lin Dazhuang is very suspicious. The relationship between their husband and wife is already tense. He looks like an honest person, but in fact, the most terrifying thing is when an honest person goes crazy, and he does not rule out murder." possibility."

"Let's not guess here. Didn't he say that he has been working in the company these years? We will find out if we go to his work and ask."

Li wanted to unlock the police car, and the group of people got into the car and planned to go to a place to have dinner first, then find a hotel to stay, and go to his work unit tomorrow to verify the situation.

Lin Dazhuang is an assembly worker in a pump and valve factory. He is considered a skilled worker and his salary is between [-] and [-] yuan. For him, a single man, one person has enough to eat and the whole family is not hungry. The salary is not low, and he can afford to pay the administrative fine.

Early the next morning, Li Xiang and the others went to this unit and found the workshop director and Huang Lichun who Lin Dazhuang mentioned.

I learned some information about Lin Dazhuang from them.

According to their reports, Lin Dazhuang had no other problems except that he liked to pinch his feet. He spent more than half of his monthly salary on this. When asked if he had ever taken a long vacation 15 years ago, they said he had not.

Although Lin Dazhuang is lazy, he rarely asks for leave, because here he will deduct 200 for a day's leave, which means he can pinch his feet twice, and he can't bear to do so.

So I rarely ask for leave.

After understanding the situation with them, Yang Ming was a little confused: "Isn't it him?"

"We can't decide now. We need to get more evidence. Their testimony can only be used as a reference. After all, more than ten years have passed. It's not certain whether they still remember it. Sometimes, people's memories are also different. You’ll lie to yourself.”

"Yes, it's like the Mandela effect. Not to mention that one person's memory may be wrong. Different people around the world have different memories of the same thing. I remember that in the song "Love Me China", it was '56 A nation, 56 flowers', but in fact the lyrics are '56 constellations, 56 flowers'."

"Haha, me too. There are many things like this. Therefore, until there is no definite evidence, Lin Dazhuang's suspicion cannot be ruled out. Now let's look at the situation on Li Yue's side. We will continue to focus on Lin Dazhuang's social relations here. Investigate it.”

The words are divided into two parts.

Li Yue took a group of technical police officers to Haozhou by train and found Liu Tingting's home based on her household registration address.

Liu Tingting has a sister named Liu Jiao, and there is only one old mother left in the family. Her father died three years ago.

When the old mother learned the news brought by Li Yue, she almost collapsed.

"My son, why did you leave first? Before your father died, he was still asking where the eldest daughter had gone."

Seeing her crying sadly, Li Yue had no choice but to comfort her: "I'm not sure yet that she is your daughter. We came here this time to collect DNA biological samples from you and Liu Jiao and take them back for comparison."

"As a mother, do I know if she is my daughter? I haven't been home for so many years, and I have been worried about whether something happened to him, but I didn't expect that something happened to her."

Although the old mother was sad, she still cooperated with Li Yue and mentioned the collection of DNA biological building materials.

At this time, he received a call from Li Xiang.

Li Xiang told him about the situation there, and asked him to learn more about Liu Tingting's situation here, especially whether there was anything abnormal the last time she went home.

After the information sharing between the two parties, Li Yue also made adjustments to the old mother's confession.

After hanging up the phone, Li Yue said to the mother and daughter: "There are still some things we need to understand with you. After all, Liu Tingting has been dead for more than ten years, and many clues have been lost in the long river of time. If you want to find out, Catching the murderer is impossible without your help."

"Just ask, we'll tell you what we know."

Liu Jiao saw her old mother crying so sadly that her tears kept flowing down.She could only answer for her mother.

She is also very sad that her sister died, but the most important thing now is to find out the truth about her sister's death and seek justice for her.

"When was the last time Liu Tingting came back?"

"In July 18 years ago, I remember it was the rainy season. It was raining heavily. She was soaked all over. She ran home crying and had some scars on her face. When we saw her like this, we knew she was I quarreled with Lin Dazhuang again. This time she came back crying and said she wanted a divorce, but my dad didn't agree. He said that the tongue and teeth are so closely related that there are times when they bite. He also said that my parents have been quarreling all their lives, and they have been gone for the rest of their lives. . He is an old tradition and feels that a divorced woman is unlucky and will have a bad reputation if she speaks out."

Liu Jiao said a lot at once, and Li Yue could generally hear it. Liu Tingting and Lin Dazhuang often quarreled.

After every quarrel, Liu Tingting would run back to her parents' home to get a divorce, but his father would persuade her to break up, and Lin Dazhuang would coax him back with some kind words.

But something unexpected happened this time.

"and after?"

"My sister stayed at home for a month and then went back, but since then, she has never been back."

"Then did you keep in touch after she returned?"

"I occasionally contacted him to ask how he and his brother-in-law were doing and when they were going to have children. At that time, she would just go off on a joke and then gradually lose contact with her."

"Didn't you go look for her when we couldn't contact her?"

"How to look for it? My parents have never traveled far in their lives. I was just married at that time, and I had a baby to take with me. I couldn't go out, so I didn't look for it. At that time, we thought the best. If we don't come back, we won't quarrel. As long as she lives a happy life, it is better than anything else. Who knows that she actually..." (End of Chapter)
