serious crime

Chapter 23 The Dark Night Demon (9)
"In fact, the matter is basically the same as the rumors. Because Liu Jun was often taken care of by Zheng Hui's family when he was young, he respects Zheng Hui's family very much. As long as their family asks about anything, Liu Jun will help him if he can. , in this village, the only person Liu Jun doesn't mess with is Zheng Hui's family. When Liu Jun and I got married, it was reasonable to invite Zheng Hui's family as VIPs. Zheng Hui was envious of all the beautiful things in the village. Since then, she often ran back to the village to find Liu Jun's business. In fact, I knew what kind of medicine she was selling in her gourd, but she never said anything. Because I believe in Liu Jun. However, because Liu Jun has a work shed on the mountain where he quarries, sometimes when he gets busy, he doesn't come back to sleep. Therefore, Zheng Hui has an opportunity to make something that shouldn't happen happen. What happened one night in winter that year is still fresh in my memory. Liu Jun didn’t come back to sleep that night because of his busy work, but the temperature cooled down that night. I was worried that the quilt in his work shed was too thin, so I gave him a gift. I went to the bed, but when I got outside the shed, I heard the voices of him and a woman coming from inside. I looked in through the crack of the door and saw him and Zheng Hui lying on the bed naked. I was really shocked at that time. The quilt in his hand also fell to the ground, and the sound alarmed Liu Jun. He opened the door and saw me, also surprised, but I didn’t say anything at the time, turned around and went home. I came back, and kept begging for my forgiveness, saying that Zheng Hui took the initiative to seduce him for money. Seeing him begging for my forgiveness, I really couldn't bear to say anything more. What kind of man is he in front of outsiders? I know very well that he begged me like that, which shows that he really cared about me, and I didn't want to make a big deal at that time, so I forgave him. After that incident, he and Zheng Hui really lost contact , but the good times didn't last long. After three months, he got together with Zheng Hui privately again. Because Wang Yuzhu worked outside for many years, he often went to Wangjia Village in the middle of the night to fool around with Zheng Hui. I once said I passed him, but he told me not to worry about it too much, saying that he was just playing with Zheng Hui, and when he had played enough, he would know how to go home. Hearing what he said, my heart was cold at the time, but what could I do? At that time, my grandma had passed away. If I got divorced, how would I live alone? I really couldn’t imagine it. After I calmed down, I thought about what he said, and I thought it was right. I’ve had enough fun. Just go home, yes! Go home, I don’t really want much, I just want to have a stable home.”

At this point, Li Ping lowered her head with a choked voice, and tears rolled down her haggard face. The happy smile on her face that recalled meeting Liu Jun until she got married had already disappeared at this moment.

Seeing this, Yao and Shun hurriedly handed over the tissue. He knew very well that for any woman, it is impossible to be indifferent to her husband fooling around with other women, and the pain in her heart is beyond the reach of ordinary people, so he did not Instead of urging Li Ping, she quietly waited aside, waiting for her to calm down.

After a long time, Li Ping's emotions gradually calmed down. She wiped away the tears from her cheeks and said with a choked voice, "Officer, I'm sorry for taking up so much of your time."

"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry." Yao Shun smiled.

"I've been holding these words in my heart, and I didn't say them for the first time until today. I feel much more comfortable in my heart."

"It's really not easy for you to persevere alone."

"Well, there is no way. Life is impossible to be satisfactory. Only people adapt to life, and it is impossible to make life adapt to people." Li Ping said helplessly. Ups and downs, I believe she will not have such deep feelings.

"Did Liu Jun maintain a close relationship with Zheng Hui until he disappeared?" Yao Shun continued to ask.

"Yes, after Zheng Hui's house caught fire, Liu Jun also disappeared. I tried to inquire about his whereabouts, but there was no news. I really don't know where he went and why he disappeared. I don't expect anything extravagantly, I just hope that he can come back and let this family look like a home." Li Ping's voice choked up again.

"The night Zheng Hui's house caught fire, did Liu Jun go to see Zheng Hui?"

"I, I don't know." Li Ping replied hesitantly.

"I don't know, or I don't want to say it!"

"I..." Li Ping was speechless for a moment.

"Do you suspect that Liu Jun set the fire?"

Li Ping looked at Yao and Shun in surprise, with an incredulous expression as if asking "how did you know that".

"On the night of the fire, Liu Jun went to see Zheng Hui, and then a fire broke out, and four members of Zheng Hui's family of five died in the fire, and Liu Jun also disappeared afterwards, so you suspect that Liu Jun set the fire. As for the reason for setting the fire, it was very simple, because Wang Yuzhu was at home at that time, and when Liu Jun went to find Zheng Hui that night, he was bumped into by Wang Yuzhu, and there had been rumors in the village that Zheng Hui had a man outside, so the two had a dispute, and Liu Jun was used to being domineering in the village, and no one dared to provoke him. He never thought that Wang Yuzhu would dare to confront him head-on, so he became angry and set fire to Wang Yuzhu's family. Afterwards, he was worried that the incident would happen, so he ran out of the village and hid stand up."

"I, I have thought about it, but, but I don't, I don't believe that he would do that. Although he is rampant in the village, murder and arson are capital crimes. He will definitely not do it. Police officer, I beg you to Find out, I believe Liu Jun is innocent." Li Ping cried excitedly.

Seeing this, Yao and Shun hurriedly comforted him: "Don't get excited, calm down, although my guess just now is the same as what you think in your heart, but it's still just a guess, and no one can say that it's true until there is no real evidence. the truth."

"Although I thought about it that way, I believe he will never do that." Li Ping sobbed.

"In order to find out the truth, I hope you will stop hiding anything."

"Well, I will definitely not hide it anymore." Li Ping nodded sincerely.

"Recall carefully, before Liu Jun disappeared, did anything special happen, or did you say anything to you?"

"This..." Li Ping fell into deep thought, and she finally said after a long time: "I remember that not long before he disappeared, he came back angrily one day, and said that two little bastards dared to tell the truth. We must find an opportunity to teach them a lesson. At that time, I didn't dare to ask him because he was angry. Later, I heard from the villagers that after Wang Yuzhu came back, his son told him that Zheng Hui had a man outside. As a result, Zheng Hui quarreled at home for three whole days, so I guessed that the two little bastards he was talking about probably referred to Wang Yuzhu's two sons."

"After the fire that night, did Liu Jun go home? Even if he wanted to escape, he must come back to get some luggage and money!"

"No, all his things are still at home. As for the money, he keeps it in his passbook, which he always carries with him."

"Is it true that Liu Jun has no news after he disappeared? Or did he look for you, but you didn't say anything to protect him?"

Hearing this, Li Ping's crying red eyes suddenly showed sincerity and sincerity, and at the same time she replied affirmatively, "I am not defending him. Since he disappeared, he really hasn't looked for me again. If he has , even if he tells me that he set the fire and he wants to escape, I will definitely follow him."

Yao Shun got up and was about to leave, but when he reached the door, he stopped again. He turned around and asked, "I suddenly thought of a question, do you know if Zheng Hui has had an abortion?"

Hearing this, Li Ping was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "Officer, do you mean that Zheng Hui aborted an abortion for Liu Jun?"

"Well, I don't know, just ask casually."

"I really don't know what happened between them. Liu Jun never mentioned Zheng Hui in front of me, so I really can't answer your question."

Yao and Shun had no doubts about Li Ping's words. Of course, it was not entirely because of what she said, but because of the sincerity in her eyes. He believed that a person's words may be deceiving, but eyes cannot be faked. .

However, what is the relationship between Liu Jun's disappearance and the current murder case? Even Yao and Shun can't give an answer. Even he himself was a little confused.

crazy continuation
After Yao and Shun left Li Ping's home, they visited and investigated the medical clinics in the two villages and the county seat, but they found nothing about Zheng Hui's abortion, and Yao and Shun asked scouts to investigate Liu Jun's bank book. No valuable clues were found, because Liu Jun's bank passbook has never been used after he disappeared, and the money in it has never changed. It can be said that the investigation in Wangjia Village and Shitou Village did not lead to the case breakthrough progress.

However, the scout who was in charge of investigating the fact that the three victimized women went to the hospital to have an abortion found clues.

According to the memories of the doctor in charge of Xiao Honghong’s abortion at the hospital, on the day Xiao Honghong went to the hospital for abortion, a man and a woman accompanied her. One of the women was her friend. Through identification, the doctor recognized her at a glance. The female friend who accompanied Xiao Honghong on the day of departure was Li Yan, the No.3 victim, and the man was Li Yan's boyfriend.And Li Yan's boyfriend also confirmed this point, because Xiao Honghong and her boyfriend had broken up, so she asked Li Yan to accompany her to the hospital for an abortion, and he drove them to the hospital that day.

Although the emergence of this clue is not enough to prove the identity of Wang Baocai's murderer, it finally allows the three victimized women to have one thing in common, that is, they were all related to the abortion before they were killed.

But there is one thing that makes Yaoshun feel a little confused. Hu Jing and Xiao Honghong went to the hospital to have an abortion, but Li Yan didn't have an abortion. She just accompanied Xiao Honghong to the abortion. Why did she have to kill her?
"Could it be that anyone who has anything to do with abortion will die? If so, wouldn't Wang Baocai go around the hospital casually and find many targets?" Yaoshun frowned and pondered, "Is there anything in common that I haven't found? "

Afterwards, Yao and Shun went to the whiteboard used to analyze the case, erased all the content on it, and wrote new content:

From the two relationship diagrams drawn by Yao and Shun, we can clearly see the relationship between Wang Baocai's family members and the relationship between him and the victim.

In the first family member organization chart, the relationship between Zheng Hui and Liu Jun attracted the most attention of Yao and Shun. According to the information provided by Liu Jun’s wife Li Ping, it is certain that there is indeed an improper relationship between men and women between Liu Jun and Zheng Hui. , and because Brother Wang Baocai reported the improper relationship between Liu Jun and Zheng Hui to Wang Yuzhu, Liu Jun once said in front of Li Ping that he would teach Brother Wang Baocai a lesson.

"Could it be that Zheng Hui did not set off the fire at Wang Baocai's house, but Liu Jun? Because Zheng Hui was pregnant with Liu Jun's child, she wanted to use this as a bargaining chip to threaten Liu Jun and Li Ping to divorce, and Liu Jun didn't want to divorce Li at all. Ping got divorced, so he set fire to kill people, and Liu Jun was worried about the incident, so he fled out of the village and hid." Yao Shun said to himself.

On the surface, such an explanation seems reasonable, but it is somewhat illogical.Li Ping knew the relationship between Liu Jun and Zheng Hui for a long time. Even if Zheng Hui was pregnant, Liu Jun didn't need to worry that the exposure of his relationship with Zheng Hui would affect his relationship with Li Ping. He could definitely give Zheng Hui a sum of money. , Let her kill the child.Moreover, Liu Jun has been taken care of by Zheng Hui's family since he was a child. Li Ping also mentioned this point. Although Liu Jun ran rampant in the village, he respected Zheng Hui's family very much. Help if you can. In this village, the only person Liu Jun doesn't mess with is Zheng Hui's family. Although people like Liu Jun are evil, they are very loyal and understand the principle of repaying favors. He can't In order to conceal the relationship with Zheng Hui's lover, he set fire to kill his benefactor.

Another point, Li Ping once mentioned that Liu Jun once threatened to teach Wang Baocai brothers a lesson, if he set fire to teach them a lesson, it should not be possible to implicate Zheng Hui's mother and son, but the fact is that Zheng Hui and her son Zheng Peng also All perished in the fire.And if Liu Jun really set the fire, why didn't Wang Bao confess to Liu Jun afterwards, because he was afraid of Liu Jun's revenge and dared not speak up?Or is there another secret?

What's more, Liu Jun's behavior is also very abnormal. No matter whether his feelings for Li Ping are true or not, it is completely unreasonable for such a big incident to disappear without saying a word. At least he can return home on the night of the arson. The family confessed before fleeing.Even if he escaped from the village without saying a word, he could ask someone to go back to the village to find out what happened afterwards. Wang Baocai did not report his crime, and everyone in Wangjia Village thought that Huo was Zheng Hui who was admitted to university because of jealousy of Wang Baocai's brother. If he let it go in a fit of anger, then Liu Jun would have no reason to give up everything he has now and abscond.He had been in prison before, and he was tyrannical in the village, so he didn't look like such a timid person at all.What's more, the most unreasonable point is that his bank passbook has never been used since he disappeared, and there is not a penny in it. Li Ping said that Liu Jun has always carried the passbook with him. If he really absconded It's impossible not to take out the money and bring it with you. Is it because you are afraid that withdrawing money will reveal your whereabouts?Or some other reason?
For a while, Yao and Shun couldn't figure it out, and then he turned his attention to the relationship diagram between Wang Baocai and the victim.

The only thing the three female victims have in common so far is the matter of "abortion". However, although they are all related to abortion, Li Yan, the No. 3 victim, did not really have an abortion. The identity accompanied No.2 victim Xiao Honghong to the hospital to have an abortion. Logically speaking, she should not be the murderer's target, but in fact she was killed. What's the problem?Could it be that the murderer thought that Li Yan accompanying Xiao Honghong to the hospital to have an abortion was an act of "helping the evildoers", so he wanted to kill her as a punishment?

Another point, if Wang Baocai was really deformed due to psychological trauma in his childhood, which prompted him to commit murder, then he should also hate women like Zheng Hui, but it is impossible to know whether Zheng Hui was pregnant or not. After investigation, and none of the three victimized women was similar to Zheng Hui, then why did Wang Bao hold hatred for these women who had gone to the hospital to have abortions, so that he had murderous intentions?

Staring at the whiteboard in front of him, looking at the character relationship diagram he drew on it, facing a series of puzzling questions, Yao Shun closed his eyes, frowned, and fell into deep thought.

After a long time, Yao Shun suddenly opened his eyes. He picked up the photos of the three victims from the table when they were killed, and looked at them carefully. Finally, his eyes fell on the faces of several victims.

He noticed that after several victims were killed, their upper and lower bodies were severely damaged, but only their faces remained intact without any damage.If it was guessed before that Wang Baocai had hatred for the deceased, that's why he wanted to kill and destroy the body, then why didn't the face of the deceased be destroyed?
If cutting the upper body of the corpse with a knife can be interpreted as an act of venting hatred in the heart; and splashing the lower body of the corpse with sulfuric acid can be interpreted as a punishment for abortion women, then only the face of the deceased is left intact , how to explain it?
"What is the special significance of doing this?"

Just thinking of this, the screen of the mobile phone on the table lit up, and then there was a burst of melodious music, which interrupted Yaoshun's thoughts. He glanced at the wall clock on the wall, and the time had already pointed to 5 o'clock in the morning. His heart suddenly "thumped", and the melodious music from the mobile phone sounded like the bells from hell, so sharp and piercing.

Sure enough, Yao and Shun were shocked by the news from the other end of the phone. He froze in place for a while without any reaction, until the other end of the phone called him three times before recovering.Putting down the phone, he quickly drove to the place where the investigator said the incident occurred.

This is a relatively remote path. It was just dawn, and no pedestrians were seen on the road, but the silence had already been broken. What broke the atmosphere of silence were police cars with flashing red and blue ceiling lights and busy criminal investigators. .

As soon as Yao Shun arrived at the scene of the crime, he couldn't wait to run to the corpse next to the trash can. He squatted down and removed the white cloth covering the corpse. Sure enough, it was exactly the same as the previous murders. The dead were all women, and their faces were intact. , his body was severely damaged by sharp weapons, and his lower body was corroded by sulfuric acid.

"Beast! Bastard!" Yao Shun scolded furiously.

"Captain Yao, the deceased was killed about 5-6 hours ago. As for the cause of death, I believe I don't need to explain it to you!" said the forensic doctor.

Yao Shun nodded silently, and then he noticed a black plastic bag half a person's height beside the corpse.

"What is this bag?" Yaoshun asked.

"We will conduct a detailed inspection to see if we can find some clues for the corpse."

"Well, I'm waiting for your report."

Yao Shun suppressed the anger in his heart. He knew very well that scolding is nothing but a venting of emotions. After venting, he must calm down. Only in this way can he see the case more clearly.
