Thirteen deadly sins
Chapter 6
Chapter 6
After Lao Xia's introduction, I got to know Luo Zhe, the young deputy captain of their Criminal Investigation Brigade.The young man is very eloquent, saying that I will provide you with a case as material, which is regarded as a meeting gift.So he told me about a case that once Xia Jianfeng was hospitalized due to injury, and he, the deputy team leader, presided over the investigation.In the end, he said humbly, without Master's guidance, I really wouldn't be able to solve this case. When it comes to handling cases, I have to learn from Master.

No. 24 Huangshu Street, Xiulin City is a commercial and residential building built in the 80s. The first floor is a shop, and the second floor and above are residential buildings.Among the shops on the first floor, there is a "Cao Ji Grocery Store". The owner is Cao Yibao, 40 years old, divorced and single. He does business on the first floor and lives in Room 402 on the fourth floor.The grocery store was doing well, so I hired a clerk to help with it.The guy's name is Ah Feng.
This morning, Ah Feng came to work and waited at the door of the grocery store until after nine o'clock, but the boss Cao Yibao still didn't come downstairs to open the store. He felt a little strange and climbed up to the fourth floor to knock on Cao Yibao's door. The anti-theft door was locked from the inside. , no one answered the door.He yelled a few more times, but no one answered.Cao Yibao's bedroom was next to the corridor, and Ah Feng walked to the window. There was an anti-theft net outside the window, and the window inside was half opened.He put his hand through the anti-theft net, lifted the curtains, and saw Cao Yibao was naked, with his feet on the bed, but he was lying on his back on the ground.
Ah Feng thought that he accidentally fell out of bed while sleeping, and after a closer look, he saw him hanging on the edge of the bed motionless, with faint blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, so he realized that something had happened, and quickly took out his mobile phone to call the police.
After receiving the alarm, Luo Zhe, the young deputy captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, led a team of police officers to the scene of the incident.
But facing the security door locked from inside, the police were helpless.
In the end, Luo Zhe had no choice but to ask someone to find a pair of large iron scissors, cut a hole in the anti-theft net of the bedroom window, and asked someone to get into the house and open the burglar door from the inside, so the police were able to enter the scene.
The forensic doctor squatted beside Cao Yibao for a short examination, shook his head at Luo Zhe and said, "No breathing, no heartbeat, and dilated pupils on both sides, it can be confirmed that he is dead."
According to the preliminary forensic examination at the scene, Cao Yibao died of potassium cyanide poisoning, and the time of death was between ten o'clock and twelve o'clock last night.
The staff Afeng identified that the magnetized cup used by the deceased was placed on the table in front of the bed, and half of the tea in the cup had been drunk. After on-site inspection, the tea did not contain cyanide.After careful inspection by trace inspectors, no traces of cyanide were found in the house.
Luo Zhe put his hands behind his back and turned around in the bedroom of the deceased.
According to Ah Feng, Cao Yibao runs a grocery store and is financially well-off, but he is very frugal, which can also be seen from the layout of his home.
The layout of the bedroom is very simple, a bed, a table, and a TV. There is a small safe under the table. On the table are sundries such as TV remote control, calculator, ledger, inflator, telephone, tea box, etc.
Cao Yibao's pajamas were taken off and thrown aside, leaving the bed in a mess, showing that the deceased had struggled before dying.
If it was suicide by taking poison, there was no need to take off naked, and there was no trace of cyanide in the house, so the police preliminarily concluded that it was homicide.
Luo Zhe turned out of the room, exhaled, and observed the building he was in by the way.
This is an old gray building with a long corridor in front of it. There are ten families living in a row inside the corridor, and the street is downstairs on the outside of the corridor.
The stairs are at the east end of the corridor, and the deceased Cao Yibao lived in room 402, which is the second room on the side of the stairs.
That is to say, if someone wants to enter his house, he must pass by the door of room 401.
Luo Zhe was watching, and scout Xiao Li ran out to report: "Team Luo, we found a female pubic hair on the deceased's bed, and, after forensic examination, the deceased had sexual intercourse before dying."
Luo Zhe sighed and said, "That's good, naked death, pubic hair, sexual behavior, put these key words together, if this case is exposed by the media, it's no wonder it doesn't cause a sensation in the whole city."
Xiao Li looked at both ends of the corridor, smiled wryly, and went into the room while shaking his head.
At both ends of the corridor, many spectators had already surrounded. If it hadn't been stopped by two plainclothes policemen, the door of Room 402 would have been blocked.
Luo Zhe thought about it, walked towards the other end of the stairs, and asked loudly, "You, who is the resident of 401?"
"I, I, I am."
A long-haired young man in the crowd jumped up with his hands up.
Luo Zhe signaled the policemen who were maintaining order at the scene to let him in.
He took the young man aside, handed him a cigarette first, and then asked, "Did you see anyone entering and exiting Room 402 last night?"
The young man was quite proud of being able to smoke the cigarette handed by the police uncle, and he exhaled the smoke ring and said, "Well, I kept the door closed last night and surfed the Internet at home, but I didn't notice anyone passing by in the corridor."
Luo Zhe asked: "Then at night, did you hear any noise in the next room?"
The young man looked into Cao Yibao's room, with an ambiguous smile in his eyes, and said, "I live next door to Lao Cao, what night did I not hear any noise?"
Luo Zhe frowned and asked what happened?
The young man told him that this old Cao has two problems, one is stingy and the other is lust.I used to see him take girls from the hair salon outside to his home, and the noise he made at night was almost like an earthquake.Later, someone in the building talked about Lao Cao, and Lao Cao seemed to restrain himself a little, not daring to bring a cock wife upstairs, but at night, he could still hear Lao Cao’s heavy breathing like an old cow coming from the next room from time to time. A woman's cry of joy.He didn't see Lao Cao leading the women past his door, and he didn't know how he secretly got those women into the house.
Luo Zhe asked, "What about last night?"
The young man said: "It was the same last night. The woman screamed, the man gasped, and the bed creaked. I, an unmarried young man, could hear my ears warming and my heart beating. I almost couldn't control myself."
Luo Zhe asked, "When did you hear the voice?"
The young man said, "It should be around ten o'clock at night."
Luo Zhe asked, "How long did that sound last?"
The young man said: "Less than 10 minutes. I remember this very clearly, because Lao Cao usually has to toss for at least half an hour before finishing work, but last night he died shortly after the start. I was still thinking, Lao Cao This guy looks really old. Who knows that something happened to Lao Cao when he woke up today and saw a few police cars parked at the top of the stairs. I heard that he died naked, right?"
Roger nodded yes.The young man shook his head and sighed: "There is a knife on Sezi's head!"
Luo Zhe stared at him and asked, "Do you think Cao Yibao's death is related to women?"
The young man spread his hands and said, "It goes without saying, it's not obvious."
Luo Zhe asked: "Do you know the woman that Lao Cao usually brings home?"
The young man said: "Some know it, some don't, but it's usually the lady from Lichun Hair House at the end of the street."
2
Lichunfa House is hidden on the second floor of a residential building at the end of Huangshu Street. It is closed during the day and open at night.
When Luo Zhe came to this hair salon in casual clothes with Xiao Li, it was eight o'clock in the evening, and the hair salon was bustling with activity.A row of young women in miniskirts and cleavage were sitting on a couch, and several men were flirting with them.
Seeing a guest coming in, a fat woman about 40 years old came up to her with a smile and said, "Boss, why don't you play with two young ladies!"
"Are you Mommy?" Luo Zhe glanced at her, took out his police officer ID and shook it at her.
The fat woman's face turned pale with fright, and she trembled all over.
Luo Zhe said: "Don't panic, we're not here to fight pornography today, I just want to ask you a few questions, if you answer honestly, at least I won't mind your business tonight."
The fat woman nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, okay."
Luo Zhe showed her a photo and asked her, "Do you know this person?"
The fat woman took a look, nodded and said, "Yes, his name is Cao Yibao, and he runs a grocery store on this street."
Luo Zhe asked: "I heard that he is a frequent visitor here?"
The fat woman obviously already knew the news of Cao Yibao's naked death, so she hesitated to answer.
Luo Zhe rolled his eyes and said, "Do you want me to close your shop immediately?"
"Don't, don't..." The fat woman became anxious now, and hurriedly said, "Cao Yibao is divorced, there is no woman around, and he has some spare money, so he often comes to our place to ask a lady to take him home for fun."
Luo Zhe asked: "On March [-]th, that is, last night, did he come to your store to call Miss?"
The fat woman shook her head and said, "No."
Luo Zhe stared at her and said, "You'd better think about it before answering me. According to what our police have, there was a woman in his room last night, and this woman is most likely the murderer who poisoned him."
"He really didn't come to our place last night to call Miss." The fat woman's expression became serious as she said, "Not only did he not come last night, but he hasn't visited our place in the past month or so. "
Luo Zhe said: "Really? Then is it possible for him to go to another place to call Miss?"
The fat woman shook her head and said: "Probably not. Cao Yibao is a stingy person. The reason why he frequents our place is because our price is cheap. In other places around here, there are ladies who sit on the stage at the hotel. Our place is more than twice as expensive. He is reluctant to spend this unjustified money."
Luo Zhe was dubious about her words, glanced at the ladies in the room, and asked, "Are all the ladies under your command here?"
The fat woman said, "Yes."
Luo Zhe said: "You tell them not to do business or go out tonight. Later I will call someone to collect their DNA samples and take them back for comparison. We found the hair left by the murderer on Cao Yibao's bed , as long as you do a DNA comparison, you can know if it has anything to do with the girls under your command."
The fat woman nodded and said, "Okay, okay."
A few days later, the results of the comparison came out, and none of the [-] girls in the Lichun hair house matched the DNA of the pubic hair left on Cao Yibao's bed.
The possibility of Miss Li Chunfawu committing the crime was basically ruled out.
The police also visited the hostesses in some nearby restaurants and hotels, but did not find any clues.
Once when Luo Zhe went to Xinghui Hotel to investigate, he happened to meet the mother of Lichun Fawu walking out of the four-star hotel with a man on her arm.
Because she was a little familiar with Luo Zhe, the fat woman spoke a little presumptuously, and said, "Sir, are you going to the hotel to find beautiful women?"
Luo Zhe said, "No, let's investigate Cao Yibao's case."
The fat woman curled her lips and said, "You don't have to bother to come to such a high-end place to find clues, Cao Yibao, that cheapskate, wouldn't go to such a high-end place to find women even if he was killed."
Luo Zhe said: "But the night he died, he did find a woman."
The fat woman said: "There is only one possibility, he is looking for a woman who is cheaper than our Lichun hair house."
Luo Zhe said: "Didn't you say that your Lichun hair house is the cheapest here? Is there any lower price than yours?"
The fat woman laughed and said, "Sir, you really don't understand. Our lady in Lichunfawu is indeed the cheapest one. It is impossible for Cao Yibao to find a cheaper one than ours, but he can find one for free."
Luo Zhe was startled, and asked, "Are there any free ones?"
The fat woman said: "Of course, for example, if a woman finds him rich and becomes his girlfriend, isn't that free?"

Luo Zhe returned to the bureau thoughtfully, Xiao Li greeted him, and said excitedly: "Captain Luo, we have a clue about Cao Yibao's case."
It turned out that Xiao Li and the others visited all the residents of the building where Cao Yibao lived, and none of them saw a woman entering or leaving Cao Yibao's residence on the night of the incident.
Just when Xiao Li was a little discouraged, a motorcycle driver who had been soliciting passengers nearby for a long time provided the police with a useful clue.
At around nine o'clock when the incident happened, the motorcycle driver had sent a woman from Xincheng District to No. 24 Huangshu Street. He saw the woman enter Room 402 downstairs.The woman was about 30 years old, her plump thighs were wrapped in transparent glass stockings, she was wearing a pair of white sandals on her feet, and she had light makeup on her face, she looked pretty.
According to his description, the police initially suspected that the woman he carried that night should be Cao Yibao's ex-wife Ruan Huichang.
Later, the police found a photo of Ruan Huichang and showed it to the motorcycle driver, who said it was her.
According to police investigation, Ruan Huichang was a salesperson in a jewelry store. She divorced Cao Yibao five years ago, and later fell in love with a supermarket buyer named Zeng Xian.The two have been living together, but not married.A year ago, Zeng Xian resigned and opened his own electric mahjong machine marketing store, but the business was not good.
Xiao Li asked: "Captain Luo, do you still remember the safe in Cao Yibao's bedroom? After our technicians managed to open it, they found that Cao Yibao kept some cash, passbooks and gold utensils in it, and a IOU. It shows that at the beginning of this year, Ruan Huichang borrowed 10 yuan from Cao Yibao, and the interest was very high."
Luo Zhe patted his thigh and said, "That's right."
The mother of Lichun Fawu said that Cao Yibao found a girlfriend for free, but she was only half right. Cao Yibao found his ex-wife Ruan Huichang.
Ruan Huichang borrowed money from him and couldn't repay it for a while, so Cao Yibao used this as an excuse to force her to have a relationship with him.For more than a month, Ruan Huichang was often called to the house by Cao Yibao. Because she was afraid of meeting acquaintances, she always avoided others when she went upstairs. Therefore, although the days were long, the neighbors on the left and right never saw her at the door of Cao Yibao's house.
Cao Yibao's demands became more and more frequent and unbearable. Finally, Ruan Huichang, who had suffered so much humiliation, couldn't bear it anymore. When Cao Yibao called her again to satisfy her animal desires, she quietly took the poison she had prepared in advance.
Although the details of Ruan Huichang's committing the crime still need further deliberation, the motive, time and method of committing the crime are all clear.
Luo Zhe asked Xiao Li to immediately take someone to the jewelry store where Ruan Huichang worked, and collect her DNA samples without touching her, and compare it with the female pubic hair left on Cao Yibao's bed.
A few days later, the results of the comparison came out, and they were in perfect agreement.
Luo Zhe immediately ordered: "Arrest Ruan Huichang immediately!"
When Ruan Huichang was "invited" to the Public Security Bureau, she just got off work from the counter of the jewelry store. Just in his early thirties.
After reading her ID card, Luo Zhe knew that this woman was actually only two years younger than Cao Yibao, and she was 38 years old this year.
After the suspect was captured, the police officers in the task force were very excited, and the interrogation started overnight.
Luo Zhe asked Ruan Huichang straight to the point: "Do you know why we invited you here?"
Ruan Huichang said nervously, "Is it because of Cao Yibao's case?"
Luo Zhe nodded and said, "It's good that you understand. Tell me, why did you poison your ex-husband?"
Ruan Huichang originally thought that the police called her to help investigate the cause of Cao Yibao's death. After hearing this, she realized that the police regarded her as a murderer. She immediately jumped up from the chair, but was pushed down by two policewomen next to her.
Ruan Huichang took a breath and said, "You, what are you talking about? I didn't kill Cao Yibao. His death has nothing to do with me."
Luo Zhe stared at her and said coldly: "Someone saw you walking into Cao Yibao's residence after nine o'clock on the night of the incident."
Ruan Huichang was startled, the expression on his face changed, his voice lowered, and he said, "I did go to his house that night, but I came out soon."
Wen Li, a female police officer who participated in the interrogation, said: "Now, you are still lying? We extracted your pubic hair on Cao Yibao's messy bed. How do you explain it?"
Ruan Huichang looked at Luo Zhe and another male policeman present, her face flushed suddenly, and she was speechless for a while.
Luo Zhe said with a sullen face: "We found the IOU in Cao Yibao's safe that you borrowed 10 yuan from him at the beginning of this year. The repayment deadline is March [-], which is the day Cao Yibao was poisoned and killed. We have investigated However, Cao Yibao has a lecherous problem. After divorcing you, he often went to the hair salon to find a lady, but in the past month, he never went out to see a lady again. But according to our investigation, there are often reports of women in his room at night Voice. If I'm right, that woman is you, isn't it?"
Ruan Huichang shook her head feebly and said, "No, it's not me..."
Luo Zhe stared at her and said, "No, it's you. You borrowed 10 yuan from Cao Yibao. Seeing that the repayment deadline is approaching, you are unable to repay the huge sum of money. Cao Yibao became lustful for your ex-wife. Use this IOU as an excuse to coerce you into having a relationship with him."
Ruan Huichang's eyes turned red, and she almost shed tears, saying: "It's true. But I, I didn't..."
Luo Zhe pressed on step by step, and said: "No, you have. Since about a month ago, you have been forced by him. You often come to his house at night to satisfy his animal desires. He once promised you that as long as you Be there on call, satisfy his request, and return the IOU to you when the IOU expires, and the debt between you will be written off, right?"
Ruan Huichang said: "Yes, he did say that..."
Luo Zhe said: "But on March [-]th, when the final repayment deadline came, he suddenly regretted it. Not only did he not give you the IOU, but he also continued to pursue debts from you. Your month of humiliation did not bring you back What you want, you feel that you have been greatly deceived, and you can’t help but feel evil. In fact, you have long been prepared to die, so you have prepared poison in your handbag in advance. At this time, you quietly sprinkle the poison into A can of drink, and tricked Cao Yibao to drink it. Because the portion was enough, Cao Yibao struggled to die in just a few minutes. Then you quickly wiped off the traces left by yourself, picked up the can of Cao Yibao After drinking the poisoned drink, he quietly left his residence. But you must have never dreamed that a single hair you accidentally left on Cao Yibao's bed would expose all your crimes, right?"
When Ruan Huichang heard this, her expression suddenly became agitated, and she whimpered, "No, no, it's not what you said at all. I didn't poison Cao Yibao, and I didn't kill him. He, he did threaten me with an IOU, asking me to Have sex with him, have sex with him. But I already have a boyfriend now, I love him, and I don’t want to do anything wrong to him, so I refused Cao Yibao’s request, and I told him that I will pay back on the repayment date no matter what. I returned the money to him before. On March 10th, I finally got together [-] yuan. That night I went to his house by motorcycle to pay him back the money.”
According to Ruan Huichang, after she returned the 10 yuan to Cao Yibao that night, she asked him for the IOU.Unexpectedly, Cao Yibao picked up the calculator on the table and pressed it, and then told her that she still owed him 2 yuan in interest.
She was in a hurry at the time. In order to make up the 10 yuan, she had already tried her best. Now even if it killed her, she couldn't come up with another 2 yuan.In desperation, she broke her heart, took off her clothes and lay on Cao Yibao's bed, and said to him: "Didn't you always want mine? Come on, I'll give it to you now, but the interest I owe , have to be written off."
Unexpectedly, Cao Yibao, a miser, faced her naked body, but made his own calculations.
He curled his lips and said, "Hmph, once I touch you, the interest of 2 yuan will be gone. No lady in the world is that expensive. I don't suffer from this. Besides, I have found someone now, and I don't need a penny." Hua, you can still serve me happily. The interest of 2 yuan is not less than a penny. For the sake of our husband and wife, I will give you another three days. Once the three-day period is over, I will If you want compound interest, you will be charged interest in addition to the interest."
Ruan Huichang saw that he was cold and unmoved, so she couldn't help feeling ashamed and angry, put on her clothes, and walked away in a hurry.
Cao Yibao cursed some dirty words behind him, and locked the anti-theft door heavily from the house.
It was not until the next afternoon that Ruan Huichang learned of Cao Yibao's death.
She was both surprised and happy in her heart, she was surprised that she had been to Cao Yibao's residence last night, and wondered if she would get into trouble because of it.The joy is that once Cao Yibao died, there would be no head of debt and no owner, so naturally the 2 yuan interest would never be repaid.
Policewoman Wen Lixiu frowned, looked at Ruan Huichang and said, "You mean, because you took off your clothes and lay on Cao Yibao's bed, it's not surprising that you left body hair on his bed, right?"
Ruan Huichang nodded and said, "It should be like this."
While observing the expression on the other person's speech, Luo Zhe asked, "When did you leave Cao Yibao's residence that night?"
Ruan Huichang said: "I arrived at his house at 09:30 in the evening and stayed in his house for less than half an hour. It should have been before ten o'clock when I left."
Luo Zhe asked: "Who can prove that you left before ten o'clock in the evening?"
Ruan Huichang shook her head and said: "No one can prove it. My current boyfriend is narrow-minded and likes to be jealous. I am afraid that others will see it and spread it to his ears, so I am very careful every time I contact Cao Yibao. When I went to his house, I did not Let others see it, and be very careful when you come out, avoiding the eyes and ears of everyone in the corridor."
Luo Zhe said: "That is to say, you have no way to prove that you really left Cao Yibao's residence before ten o'clock in the evening?"
Ruan Huichang lowered her head.
Luo Zhe looked towards the policewoman Wen Li, who had a suspicious expression on her face.
Luo Zhe stood up and said sternly to Ruan Huichang: "The evidence the police have now is very unfavorable to you. You can't produce any evidence to prove that what you just said is true. We are skeptical of your confession. I will give you one night It’s time for you to think about it carefully, and I’ll ask you again tomorrow. If you don’t tell the truth, then the only one who suffers in the end will be yourself.”

Early the next morning, the police interrogated Ruan Huichang for the second time.
Ruan Huichang's hair was disheveled, her eyes were red and swollen, and she was staring blankly at the corner of the wall. She probably didn't sleep in the detention room last night.
Luo Zhe knocked hard on the table, Ruan Huichang was startled, and then raised his head.Luo Zhe looked sternly, stared at her and asked, "Ruan Huichang, have you thought it through yet?"
Ruan Huichang's expression was a little numb, she looked up at him, nodded slowly, and said, "I, I've made up my mind."
Luo Zhe said: "Then let me ask you again, did you kill your ex-husband Cao Yibao?"
Ruan Huichang was in a trance, her head was shaking slightly, she couldn't tell if she was nodding or shaking her head, and she murmured: "No, no, I, I didn't..."
At this moment, investigator Xiao Li broke in, called Luo Zhe to the door, and said out of breath, "Captain Luo, we have a new clue."
In a family on the fifth floor of the building where Cao Yibao lived, there was a boy who was in the third year of high school. Because he was in school during the day, Xiao Li and the others did not inquire about all the residents in the building a few times before. to that boy.Last night, Xiao Li came to that building again to look for clues. The boy just came back from his study next night and provided him with a clue.
At 10:30 p.m. on March 30th, he came home from his evening self-study at school. When he went up the stairs, he saw a man in front of him, and turned into the fourth floor from the stairs.At that time, the lights in the corridor were dim, and he could only see the man from behind, about [-] years old, tall and thin, with a crew cut, wearing a white shirt and glasses.
Luo Zhe asked: "Have you investigated whether that man is a resident of the building?"
Xiao Li said: "I have investigated, not to mention the fourth floor, but there is no such man in the whole building. I asked other residents on the fourth floor if there was such a guest who came that night, and they all said no. So I suspect……"
"There is no need to doubt." Ruan Huichang, whose will was almost broken, overheard the voice outside the door, and suddenly sighed, "You don't need to wrong others, Cao Yibao...I killed..."
Her statement was basically consistent with Luo Zhe's reasoning yesterday.
She was unable to repay the huge sum of 10 yuan, and Cao Yibao asked her to repay the debt with her own body, so she had to agree with humiliation.Unexpectedly, at the last moment, Cao Yibao refused to return the IOU to her, and still urged her to repay the loan.In fact, Ruan Huichang is not a completely unscheming woman, she has been guarding against Cao Yibao's trick for a long time, so she has already made preparations for death, and prepared poison in her handbag.At that time, in a fit of anger, he became murderous towards Cao Yibao, and quietly sprinkled poison into the drink he drank.After Cao Yibao was poisoned to death, Ruan Huichang cleaned up the scene carefully and left quietly.Originally, she wanted to take away her IOU, but Cao Yibao locked the IOU in the safe and couldn't get it, so she had to give up.
After listening to Ruan Huichang's confession, Luo Zhe couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. This sensational naked corpse case finally came to light.
He stared at Ruan Huichang and asked, "Now there is one last question, how did you lock the door of Cao Yibao's residence?"
Ruan Huichang was a little stunned, and said, "I went out and locked his door."
Luo Zhe said with a downcast face: "When the case happened, the door of Cao Yibao's residence was locked from the inside. I have carefully checked the lock on the anti-theft door. Under normal circumstances, the hidden lock inside cannot be locked from the outside. Tell me honestly, what method did you use to turn the crime scene into a secret room?"
"Secret room?" Ruan Huichang asked with a blank face, "What secret room?"
Luo Zhe said angrily: "Now, you still pretend to be confused with me?"
"When I, I left, I closed the door, no, no, it was locked, the door was locked..." Ruan Huichang said incoherently here, her face suddenly turned pale, her lips turned purple, her hands covered her chest, and her face was exposed. With a painful expression, his body tilted, and he slid off the chair and fainted to the ground.
Luo Zhe was startled, and hastily stepped forward to check. Seeing that her eyes were closed tightly and her breathing was rapid, and she was not pretending, she realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly shouted: "Call the doctor quickly."
The doctor arrived quickly, and after a brief examination, he said, "She has a heart attack and needs to be sent to the hospital immediately."
Luo Zhe and Wen Li had no choice but to carry Ruan Huichang into the ambulance and send them to the Municipal People's Hospital.
The doctor worked for a long time and finally stabilized Ruan Huichang's condition, but she was still in a coma and never woke up.
Luo Zhe asked the doctor when she would wake up?
The doctor said that she had a heart attack, she was strongly stimulated, and fell into a deep coma. We can only stabilize her condition. As for when she will wake up, it depends on her.
Luo Zhe was in a hurry, grabbed the doctor's white coat and said loudly, how can that be done, she is our suspect, and a murder case is still waiting for her confession.
The doctor glared at him and said, what's the matter, this is a hospital.Here, there are only patients, not prisoners.We can only do our best. When she will wake up depends on her own will.
Luo Zhe stood there in a daze, speechless for a long time.
He called two policewomen to guard Ruan Huichang.
When he walked out of the ward, Wen Li suddenly said to him: "Captain Luo, should we go and see Captain Xia?"
The "Team Xia" she was referring to was Xia Jianfeng, head of the Criminal Investigation Brigade of the Municipal Public Security Bureau.
It was only then that Luo Zhe remembered that Lao Xia was wounded by a homemade pistol while arresting a drug dealer some time ago, and he has been recuperating in the People's Hospital.He nodded and said, "Okay, let's go and see the old captain, and ask him about the current case by the way."
Xia Jianfeng lived in the surgical ward 824. He was lying on the bed reading a book bored. When he saw Luo Zhe and Wen Li visiting him, he couldn't help grinning happily.
Luo Zhe and Wen Li sat down and chatted with the old captain for a while, Xia Jianfeng asked what happened in the bureau recently?
Luo Zhe told him about the case of Cao Yibao's naked death.
Finally, Ruan Huichang has admitted that she is the murderer, and now there is only one last question that we have not figured out, which is how did Ruan Huichang lock the anti-theft door of Cao Yibao's residence from the inside when he left, and set up the scene as a secret room?During the interrogation, she herself had a vague memory and didn't speak clearly. In the end, she was in a hurry and fainted from a heart attack.The doctor said that he didn't know when he would wake up.
After Xia Jianfeng listened, he threw the book in his hand aside, sat up straight and asked, "Did that woman really deny the fact of the crime last night, but this morning she suddenly bowed her head and confessed?"
Wen Li nodded and said, "That's right, keeping her in the detention room for one night will make her more honest."
Xia Jianfeng sighed and said, "I think what you haven't figured out now is definitely more than the last question. Ruan Huichang denied it in every possible way yesterday, but after listening to Xiao Li's new clue this morning, she suddenly changed her mouth and admitted that Cao Yibao killed herself. Do you think there is a problem here? Also, Xiao Luo, I am not criticizing you, you listened to the latest clues of the case reported by Xiao Li at the door of the interrogation room, and let the suspects in the room hear your voice, which is against the regulations."
Luo Zhe blushed, and said: "At that time, Xiao Li was too excited because he had a new clue, and he was in a hurry to report it to me, so he didn't pay much attention."
Xia Jianfeng nodded and said, "Go and investigate the situation of Ruan Huichang's new boyfriend right away to see how their relationship is? How is his financial situation? It would be best if you could get me a full body photo of him, and, By the way, bring all the information about this case and show it to me."
Although Luo Zhe was full of suspicion, he still took the order and left.
In the afternoon, he went to the ward to report to Xia Jianfeng that Ruan Huichang had a good relationship with her boyfriend Zeng Xian. Although they were not married, they had been living together.Zeng Xian now runs an electric mahjong machine sales shop, but the business is not good and he has been losing money.Ruan Huichang borrowed money from her ex-husband Cao Yibao to use it as working capital for his business.
Luo Zhe then showed Zeng Xian's photo to Xia Jianfeng. The man in the photo was about 30 years old, over 1.8 meters tall, thin, with short-cut hair, and wearing a pair of myopia glasses.
Xia Jianfeng pointed to the photo and asked, "Did you see anything?"
Luo Zhe glanced at the photo and said inexplicably, "There's nothing wrong."
Xia Jianfeng said: "Didn't Xiao Li say in the morning that someone saw a tall, thin man with glasses go to the fourth floor where Cao Yibao lived on the night of the incident?"
Luo Zhe looked at the photo and suddenly understood: "So you suspect that the man with glasses is Ruan Huichang's cohabiting boyfriend? Why didn't I think of that."
Xia Jianfeng said: "Oh, Ruan Huichang is much more sensitive than you. As soon as she heard you mention the man with glasses, she already guessed that it was her boyfriend."
Luo Zhe understood what he was thinking, and continued his words: "Ruan Huichang thinks that the man with glasses is Zeng Xian. Zeng Xian followed her secretly and found her coming out of Cao Yibao's house. Being jealous by nature, he thought she and her ex-husband had rekindled their old relationship. , with hatred in her heart, so she secretly poisoned Cao Yibao to death. In fact, Ruan Huichang's confession yesterday was true, but this morning when she heard that a man with a flat head and glasses went to the fourth floor on the night of the incident, she immediately thought of the murderer It must be her boyfriend Zeng Xian. She has too much affection for him, and she doesn't want Zeng Xian to become a murderer because of herself, so she immediately admits that Cao Yibao killed herself. She wants to take the blame for Zeng Xian."
Xia Jianfeng nodded and said: "That's right, she really thinks so. She usually watches a lot of detective TV, and she can fabricate some details of the crime by herself, but how to lock the door from the inside and turn the scene of the crime into a secret room?" One point, she hasn't done it, so she can't answer it if you ask her."
Luo Zhe said, "I will arrest Zeng Xian immediately."
Xia Jianfeng waved his hand and said: "Don't be so anxious, first send someone to monitor him, do a peripheral investigation, and find out where he was when the crime happened."
Luo Zhe straightened his body and said, "Yes." He immediately took Xiao Li there.
In the evening, when Luo Zhe came to report the situation to Xia Jianfeng, he was a little listless.
Luo Zhe said: "Captain Xia, we have already investigated. On the night of the incident, Zeng Xian had been repairing the mahjong machine with two workers in the store. He never left from eight o'clock at night to twelve o'clock at night. He has sufficient Alibi. The man who appeared on the fourth floor of Cao Yibao’s residence was not him at all.”
Xia Jianfeng said "Oh" and said, "So, Ruan Huichang was wrong, and we were wrong too."
5
Sitting on the hospital bed, Xia Jianfeng spent one night carefully reviewing all the pictures, investigation records, interrogation transcripts and other materials of Cao Yibao's murder case.
Early the next morning, he called Luo Zhe to the hospital and showed him a photo.
Luo Zhe saw that it was a panoramic photo of Cao Yibao's bedroom at the scene of the crime, including a bed, a table, a TV, a safe, and a naked corpse.
He frowned and said, "We have searched the scene carefully, is there anything wrong?"
Xia Jianfeng pointed to the table in the photo and said, "Do you see what's on the table?"
Luo Zhe looked at the photo again. In the photo, there were magnetized cups, TV remote controls, calculators, ledgers, inflators, telephones, tea boxes and other sundries on the table, but he still didn't see anything wrong.
Xia Jianfeng said: "Judging from the layout of Cao Yibao's house, he is a very practical person. You can see that everything in his house, including sundries, has a clear purpose, and nothing is superfluous. of."
Luo Zhe nodded and said, "That's true. Others say he is a stingy person, and it seems to be true."
Xia Jianfeng asked: "Did you find anything like inflatable balls, swimming rings, inflatable toys in his house?"
Luo Zhe shook his head and said, "No."
Xia Jianfeng said: "That's right. Let's see what this is again?" He clicked on the photo with his finger.
Luo Zhe took a closer look, and he was referring to the miniature foot-operated air pump on the table.
Xia Jianfeng said: "There is nothing in his house that needs to be inflated. Why is there this air pump? And it is placed on the table next to the bed. Obviously it has just been used and has not had time to put it away."
Luo Zhe was completely confused. He looked at the old captain and said, "Old Xia, don't be fooled. Tell me what you think. I'm dying of anxiety."
Xia Jianfeng smiled and said: "Didn't Cao Yibao tell Ruan Huichang that he has found someone now, and he doesn't need to spend a penny, so he can still serve him happily? After investigation, Cao Yibao did not find someone again after the divorce." Girlfriend, who can make him not spend a minute, but can serve him happily?" When he said this, he tapped his finger on the air pump twice.
Luo Zhe suddenly understood: "You don't need to spend a penny, that's just sex dolls."
Xia Jianfeng said: "That's right, it's this thing. I heard that the current sex inflatable doll can be made like a real person. It not only has the functions of a woman, but also imitates the voice of a real person. In short, it can do anything that a woman can do to a man. Do."
Luo Zhe said: "You mean, Cao Yibao thought it was not worthwhile to go to the hair salon to call the lady, so he spent money to buy a sex doll and came back. In the past month, the screams of women in Cao Yibao's room were actually made by this sex doll , isn’t it? You wouldn’t say that Cao Yibao was killed by an inflatable doll, would you? Also, we didn’t find any inflatable doll in Cao Yibao’s house, could it be that it ran away after killing people?”
Xia Jianfeng nodded and said, "That's right, the two questions you raised are the crux of the case. If Cao Yibao really had sex dolls in his room, where did they go? Now we have to find a way to determine whether Cao Yibao really used an inflatable doll." .Only when this is confirmed can we proceed with the investigation.”
Luo Zhe said: "It's not difficult to find out. There are not many ways to buy such things, except for buying in adult products stores, which is online shopping. Cao Yibao doesn't know how to use a computer, so we can only buy them in adult products stores. We only need You can find out by investigating the surrounding adult goods stores."
Luo Zhe immediately took action. Together with Xiao Li, each led a team to investigate the adult goods stores in the city.They took a photo of Cao Yibao and went to every adult product store to ask if the person in the photo had ever bought an inflatable doll in the store?There are not many people who buy this thing. If you have done such a business, the shopkeeper will generally remember it.But the police asked all the adult goods stores in the urban area, and they all said that there were no such customers.
When Luo Zhe was discouraged, the owner of an adult product store told him that in this city, besides some adult product stores, there is another place where you can buy inflatable dolls, and that is in the northern suburb of the city. Chaoming Plastic Factory.The sex inflatable dolls sold in all adult goods stores in Xiulin City, no matter what brand, are produced and supplied there.If you are greedy for cheap, it is not uncommon to buy an inflatable doll back from there at the ex-factory price.
Luo Zhe also learned from A Feng, a guy at the Caoji grocery store, that Cao Yibao buys some plastic products in the grocery store from this Chaoming Plastic Factory.
Luo Zhe thought this was a clue, and immediately led Xiao Li to find the Chaoming Plastic Factory in the outskirts of the city.
The Chaoming Plastic Factory was built on a small hill in the suburbs. Due to environmental pollution, there was no vegetation around it, and it became a barren hill.The factory mainly produces plastic products for daily use, and also produces some counterfeit sex inflatable dolls.
The factory manager, surnamed Xie, is bald, short and fat, with a businessman's insincere smile on his face.
Factory manager Xie told the police that the inflatable dolls produced in his factory were all counterfeit products.They first buy some samples with better sales from the Internet, and then the special designers in the factory make a little modification, and then they can turn them into their own products for mass production.
Luo Zhe asked Cao Yibao if he ever came to the factory to buy an inflatable doll?
Factory Manager Xie said yes. About a month ago, Cao Yibao came to the factory to buy goods, and he took a fancy to an inflatable doll, so he pestered him to buy it at the ex-factory price.
Luo Zhe asked Cao Yibao which inflatable doll he liked?
Director Xie said that the inflatable doll he bought was a sample just designed by our factory's designer, and there was only one, which happened to be bought by him.Usually the products in our factory are designed according to the appearance of the heroine of Japanese AV movies, but the inflatable doll seems to be designed to look like a Chinese woman, with a melon-seeded face and willow-leaf eyebrows, which is very beautiful.
Luo Zhe asked: "Where is that designer? We want to meet him."
Director Xie said: "Don't mention it. He designed the inflatable doll and placed it in his office. At that time, he went out for some reason. Cao Yibao passed by the door of his office and saw the inflatable doll. He liked it very much. Then I bought it. At that time, I thought that I would just wait for the designer to come back and make another one. Unexpectedly, the designer lost the inflatable doll when he came back, and he was furious at me and told me to ask Cao Yibao for the sample. What did I think? There is a reason to buy something and want it back, so I didn't agree. As a result, this kid slapped the table and resigned."
Why did a small designer get angry at the boss because of a blow-up doll, and resign in anger?Luo Zhe felt that there must be something wrong.
He asked Director Xie what was the designer's name and where did he live?
Director Xie said his name was Ji Hua, but he didn't know where he lived.However, when he entered the factory and signed the labor contract, he left a copy of his ID card, which can be checked.
Factory Manager Xie asked someone to find a copy of Jihua's ID card. Luo Zhe saw that the address written on it was No. 7, Datong Village, Tiaoguan Town, Xiulin City.
6
It was already afternoon when Luo Zhe and Xiao Li drove to Tiaoguan Town.
The police car stopped in front of Gate 7 of Datong Village.
It was a one-story house, with mottled walls and dark wooden doors, showing that the house had been around for some time.The two doors were tightly closed, and a large iron lock was hung on the door.
Luo Zhe asked the neighbors left and right, is there a young man named Ji Hua living in this house?
Neighbors say yes.
Ask again, do you know where he is now?
The neighbors shook their heads and said they didn't know, and said that he didn't have a job now, and he often went out to hang out during the day and only came back at night.
Luo Zhe looked at the iron lock on the door, and decided not to wait for Jihua to come back, and searched the house first.
He called back to the bureau and told Wen Li to quickly complete the search warrant and send it over immediately.
An hour later, Wen Li drove there with a search warrant in hand.
Luo Zhe pried open the iron lock on the door of Jihua's house, and pushed the door open to enter. The room was dimly lit and looked gloomy and damp. It was difficult for him to find the electric light pull cord and turn on the light bulb in the room.
The house is not big, the furnishings are simple and messy, a typical bachelor's house.Walking from the main room, there is a small study room. There are some books on art design on the bookshelf. There is a group photo on the desk. A young man wearing glasses is hugging a girl in a white skirt, smiling sweetly. Warm.
Further back is the bedroom.
Luo Zhe opened the door and walked in. The light in the bedroom was even more dim. When his eyes just adjusted, he suddenly found a woman standing beside the wooden bed, a naked woman.
Luo Zhe couldn't help being startled, and when he took a closer look, he realized that it was an inflatable doll, with a height of more than 1.6 meters [-], fair skin, plump breasts, and a faint smile on his melon seed face. The image is vivid, almost no different from a real person.
He walked closer and took a closer look, and suddenly felt that this woman seemed familiar. He turned around and compared it with the group photo on the desk outside. Isn't this inflatable doll the woman in the photo?
He took a photo of the inflatable doll with his mobile phone and sent it to Director Xie. Director Xie called back and said that it was this inflatable doll that he bought for Cao Yibao, but he didn't know how it came back to Jihua.
Luo Zhe asked if it was possible that he made another one himself?
Factory manager Xie said it was impossible. He left the factory without any tools or materials. What would he use to make an inflatable doll?
Luo Zhe asked Director Xie if he knew Ji Hua had a girlfriend?
Director Xie said he knew it, but I had never seen it, only heard of it.It is said that his girlfriend and he were in the same class from middle school to university, and they were childhood sweethearts, but the girl broke up with him suddenly a few months ago and went to Hong Kong with a rich old man.
After thinking for a while, Luo Zhe copied Ji Hua's photo and sent it to Ah Feng, a clerk at Cao Ji's grocery store.
Ah Feng said that this man had gone to the store to find Boss Cao two or three times, as if he was looking for something back from the boss, and the two had a quarrel the last time.
Luo Zhe let out an "oh", and understood in his heart.
His childhood sweetheart's girlfriend suddenly changed her mind, which hit Jihua hard. He took advantage of the convenience of his work and designed an inflatable doll according to his girlfriend's appearance.In a fit of anger, he fired his boss.
He approached Cao Yibao several times and wanted to return his "girlfriend", but Cao Yibao naturally refused.
In order to get back his "girlfriend", Jihua murdered Cao Yibao.
On the night of the incident, the thin man who the high school student saw turning from the stairwell to the fourth floor was Ji Hua.
Just as Luo Zhe was thinking, he suddenly heard a neighbor calling Ji Hua's name outside.
He ran out to take a look, and saw a tall, thin man wearing glasses, with his head down, looking preoccupied, coming from the corner of the road.
Suddenly, he looked up and saw the police car parked in front of his house, his expression changed, he turned around and ran away.
"Jihua, stop, you can't run away!"
Luo Zhe recognized him as Jihua in the photo, shouted, and strode to catch up.Xiao Li also followed closely.
After a short run, the road came to a close, and a small river blocked the way.
Ji Hua looked back at the police who were chasing him, then turned a corner suddenly, and climbed up a four-story unfinished building on the side of the road.
Luo Zhe and Xiao Li chased after him without hesitation, rushed to the top of the building, and saw Ji Hua standing on the edge of the roof without guardrails.
"You, don't come here, or I will jump from here!" He yelled at the two policemen.
Luo Zhe knew that this was the roof of the fourth floor, and if he jumped off, he would surely die.
He hurriedly stopped, stood a few meters away, and said calmly: "Jihua, you stand in the middle first, and speak slowly if you have something to say."
Ji Hua was emotional, waving his arms wildly, and shouted: "What else is there to say? My girlfriend Meimei has changed her mind. I devoted all my efforts to designing and manufacturing an inflatable doll exactly like her. I treasured it, but who knew it was sold to Cao Yibao, a pervert, by the profit-seeking factory manager. I went to Cao Yibao to ask Meimei back, but he not only refused to return it to me, but also said lewdly that Meimei’s voice calling the bed was real. It sounds good, she smells so good... I can't tolerate this wretched man defiled Meimei, and that night, I poisoned him with potassium cyanide and took my Meimei back..."
The police have been disclosing to the outside world that Cao Yibao was killed by poison. As for what kind of deadly poison he died of, no one knows except the police insiders.
Since Jihua can say that Cao Yibao died of potassium cyanide poisoning, it seems that what he said is true.
Luo Zhe was about to ask him about the details of the crime, when Ji Hua danced and danced with emotion, suddenly his foot slipped, he leaned back, and fell straight down the stairs.
Luo Zhe hurried to catch up, only to hear a "bang" from downstairs, looking down, Ji Hua had fallen to the ground on his back, blood gushing out, staining the ground red.
The two ran downstairs, and Jihua was out of breath.

When Xia Jianfeng was discharged from the hospital, Luo Zhe and Wen Li went to pick him up.
Xia Jianfeng asked Cao Yibao if the case was solved?
Roger said it was broken.
Xia Jianfeng glanced at him and saw that his face was sullen and listless, he was a little strange, and asked why he was still so sullen since the case had been solved?
Luo Zhe told him how he went to find Jihua, and finally said that although the case was solved, there are still many details that have not been clarified, such as how Jihua poisoned him and how he opened the door from inside. Lock it up, and arrange the scene into a secret room.There are no answers to these key questions, and the case is a poor one.
Xia Jianfeng thought about it after listening, and asked him: "Have you seen that inflatable doll?"
Luo Zhe said: "I have seen it, it is very beautiful, very lifelike, just like a real person."
Xia Jianfeng asked: "You are talking about the state of it being full of air, what will happen if you release the air inside?"
Luo Zhe said: "If you release the air, fold it up, you can put it in your pocket and take it away. It is very light. I have to say that the design is very clever. In this regard, Ji Hua is a genius."
Xia Jianfeng put his hands behind his back, took a few steps forward, and suddenly raised his head and asked, "Have you searched Ji Hua's residence, and have you seen long bamboo poles or fishing rods in his room?"
Luo Zhe said: "Yes, there is a telescopic fishing rod in his house, which is less than one meter long when it is retracted. If it is straightened, it will be seven or eight meters long."
Xia Jianfeng's eyes lit up, and he said, "That's right, why Ji Hua didn't leave any trace in Cao Yibao's house, it's because he never entered the house at all. Why he can arrange the scene into a secret room, it's because The person who locked the door was not him at all, but Cao Yibao."
Xia Jianfeng reasoned that on the night of the incident, Ruan Huichang left Cao Yibao's house. Cao Yibao locked the anti-theft door from the inside. Then he took out the inflatable doll, inflated it with an air pump, put it on the bed, and went to the bathroom to take a shower.At this time, Ji Hua, who had planned for a long time, sneaked to his window, "fished" the inflatable doll to the window with a fishing rod, and smeared poisonous water dissolved in potassium cyanide on the mouth and chest of the inflatable doll through the anti-theft net. Then put the inflatable doll back in place.When Cao Yibao got out of the shower, while using the inflatable doll, he inhaled the poison by kissing and biting the mouth and chest of the inflatable doll, and fell to the ground a few minutes later.At this time, Jihua "fished" the inflatable doll to the window, released the air, and took it out of the anti-theft grid.
After hearing this, Wen Li found it incredible, and asked, "Is it true that someone would kill someone for an inflatable doll?"
Xia Jianfeng said thoughtfully: "In Ji Hua's eyes, it's not just an inflatable doll, but his girlfriend Meimei, and even Cao Yibao is not just Cao Yibao, maybe in his eyes, it has turned into an inflatable doll that snatches his daughter away." A rich Hong Kong man of a friend. If that's the case, it's not surprising that he did the killing."
Luo Zhe looked at the old captain with admiration, his frown finally relaxed.
After answering the phone, Wen Li said, "The doctor said that Ruan Huichang has woken up from a coma. Shall we go and see her?"
Xia Jianfeng nodded and said, "It should."
(End of this chapter)
After Lao Xia's introduction, I got to know Luo Zhe, the young deputy captain of their Criminal Investigation Brigade.The young man is very eloquent, saying that I will provide you with a case as material, which is regarded as a meeting gift.So he told me about a case that once Xia Jianfeng was hospitalized due to injury, and he, the deputy team leader, presided over the investigation.In the end, he said humbly, without Master's guidance, I really wouldn't be able to solve this case. When it comes to handling cases, I have to learn from Master.
1
No. 24 Huangshu Street, Xiulin City is a commercial and residential building built in the 80s. The first floor is a shop, and the second floor and above are residential buildings.Among the shops on the first floor, there is a "Cao Ji Grocery Store". The owner is Cao Yibao, 40 years old, divorced and single. He does business on the first floor and lives in Room 402 on the fourth floor.The grocery store was doing well, so I hired a clerk to help with it.The guy's name is Ah Feng.
This morning, Ah Feng came to work and waited at the door of the grocery store until after nine o'clock, but the boss Cao Yibao still didn't come downstairs to open the store. He felt a little strange and climbed up to the fourth floor to knock on Cao Yibao's door. The anti-theft door was locked from the inside. , no one answered the door.He yelled a few more times, but no one answered.Cao Yibao's bedroom was next to the corridor, and Ah Feng walked to the window. There was an anti-theft net outside the window, and the window inside was half opened.He put his hand through the anti-theft net, lifted the curtains, and saw Cao Yibao was naked, with his feet on the bed, but he was lying on his back on the ground.
Ah Feng thought that he accidentally fell out of bed while sleeping, and after a closer look, he saw him hanging on the edge of the bed motionless, with faint blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, so he realized that something had happened, and quickly took out his mobile phone to call the police.
After receiving the alarm, Luo Zhe, the young deputy captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, led a team of police officers to the scene of the incident.
But facing the security door locked from inside, the police were helpless.
In the end, Luo Zhe had no choice but to ask someone to find a pair of large iron scissors, cut a hole in the anti-theft net of the bedroom window, and asked someone to get into the house and open the burglar door from the inside, so the police were able to enter the scene.
The forensic doctor squatted beside Cao Yibao for a short examination, shook his head at Luo Zhe and said, "No breathing, no heartbeat, and dilated pupils on both sides, it can be confirmed that he is dead."
According to the preliminary forensic examination at the scene, Cao Yibao died of potassium cyanide poisoning, and the time of death was between ten o'clock and twelve o'clock last night.
The staff Afeng identified that the magnetized cup used by the deceased was placed on the table in front of the bed, and half of the tea in the cup had been drunk. After on-site inspection, the tea did not contain cyanide.After careful inspection by trace inspectors, no traces of cyanide were found in the house.
Luo Zhe put his hands behind his back and turned around in the bedroom of the deceased.
According to Ah Feng, Cao Yibao runs a grocery store and is financially well-off, but he is very frugal, which can also be seen from the layout of his home.
The layout of the bedroom is very simple, a bed, a table, and a TV. There is a small safe under the table. On the table are sundries such as TV remote control, calculator, ledger, inflator, telephone, tea box, etc.
Cao Yibao's pajamas were taken off and thrown aside, leaving the bed in a mess, showing that the deceased had struggled before dying.
If it was suicide by taking poison, there was no need to take off naked, and there was no trace of cyanide in the house, so the police preliminarily concluded that it was homicide.
Luo Zhe turned out of the room, exhaled, and observed the building he was in by the way.
This is an old gray building with a long corridor in front of it. There are ten families living in a row inside the corridor, and the street is downstairs on the outside of the corridor.
The stairs are at the east end of the corridor, and the deceased Cao Yibao lived in room 402, which is the second room on the side of the stairs.
That is to say, if someone wants to enter his house, he must pass by the door of room 401.
Luo Zhe was watching, and scout Xiao Li ran out to report: "Team Luo, we found a female pubic hair on the deceased's bed, and, after forensic examination, the deceased had sexual intercourse before dying."
Luo Zhe sighed and said, "That's good, naked death, pubic hair, sexual behavior, put these key words together, if this case is exposed by the media, it's no wonder it doesn't cause a sensation in the whole city."
Xiao Li looked at both ends of the corridor, smiled wryly, and went into the room while shaking his head.
At both ends of the corridor, many spectators had already surrounded. If it hadn't been stopped by two plainclothes policemen, the door of Room 402 would have been blocked.
Luo Zhe thought about it, walked towards the other end of the stairs, and asked loudly, "You, who is the resident of 401?"
"I, I, I am."
A long-haired young man in the crowd jumped up with his hands up.
Luo Zhe signaled the policemen who were maintaining order at the scene to let him in.
He took the young man aside, handed him a cigarette first, and then asked, "Did you see anyone entering and exiting Room 402 last night?"
The young man was quite proud of being able to smoke the cigarette handed by the police uncle, and he exhaled the smoke ring and said, "Well, I kept the door closed last night and surfed the Internet at home, but I didn't notice anyone passing by in the corridor."
Luo Zhe asked: "Then at night, did you hear any noise in the next room?"
The young man looked into Cao Yibao's room, with an ambiguous smile in his eyes, and said, "I live next door to Lao Cao, what night did I not hear any noise?"
Luo Zhe frowned and asked what happened?
The young man told him that this old Cao has two problems, one is stingy and the other is lust.I used to see him take girls from the hair salon outside to his home, and the noise he made at night was almost like an earthquake.Later, someone in the building talked about Lao Cao, and Lao Cao seemed to restrain himself a little, not daring to bring a cock wife upstairs, but at night, he could still hear Lao Cao’s heavy breathing like an old cow coming from the next room from time to time. A woman's cry of joy.He didn't see Lao Cao leading the women past his door, and he didn't know how he secretly got those women into the house.
Luo Zhe asked, "What about last night?"
The young man said: "It was the same last night. The woman screamed, the man gasped, and the bed creaked. I, an unmarried young man, could hear my ears warming and my heart beating. I almost couldn't control myself."
Luo Zhe asked, "When did you hear the voice?"
The young man said, "It should be around ten o'clock at night."
Luo Zhe asked, "How long did that sound last?"
The young man said: "Less than 10 minutes. I remember this very clearly, because Lao Cao usually has to toss for at least half an hour before finishing work, but last night he died shortly after the start. I was still thinking, Lao Cao This guy looks really old. Who knows that something happened to Lao Cao when he woke up today and saw a few police cars parked at the top of the stairs. I heard that he died naked, right?"
Roger nodded yes.The young man shook his head and sighed: "There is a knife on Sezi's head!"
Luo Zhe stared at him and asked, "Do you think Cao Yibao's death is related to women?"
The young man spread his hands and said, "It goes without saying, it's not obvious."
Luo Zhe asked: "Do you know the woman that Lao Cao usually brings home?"
The young man said: "Some know it, some don't, but it's usually the lady from Lichun Hair House at the end of the street."
2
Lichunfa House is hidden on the second floor of a residential building at the end of Huangshu Street. It is closed during the day and open at night.
When Luo Zhe came to this hair salon in casual clothes with Xiao Li, it was eight o'clock in the evening, and the hair salon was bustling with activity.A row of young women in miniskirts and cleavage were sitting on a couch, and several men were flirting with them.
Seeing a guest coming in, a fat woman about 40 years old came up to her with a smile and said, "Boss, why don't you play with two young ladies!"
"Are you Mommy?" Luo Zhe glanced at her, took out his police officer ID and shook it at her.
The fat woman's face turned pale with fright, and she trembled all over.
Luo Zhe said: "Don't panic, we're not here to fight pornography today, I just want to ask you a few questions, if you answer honestly, at least I won't mind your business tonight."
The fat woman nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, okay."
Luo Zhe showed her a photo and asked her, "Do you know this person?"
The fat woman took a look, nodded and said, "Yes, his name is Cao Yibao, and he runs a grocery store on this street."
Luo Zhe asked: "I heard that he is a frequent visitor here?"
The fat woman obviously already knew the news of Cao Yibao's naked death, so she hesitated to answer.
Luo Zhe rolled his eyes and said, "Do you want me to close your shop immediately?"
"Don't, don't..." The fat woman became anxious now, and hurriedly said, "Cao Yibao is divorced, there is no woman around, and he has some spare money, so he often comes to our place to ask a lady to take him home for fun."
Luo Zhe asked: "On March [-]th, that is, last night, did he come to your store to call Miss?"
The fat woman shook her head and said, "No."
Luo Zhe stared at her and said, "You'd better think about it before answering me. According to what our police have, there was a woman in his room last night, and this woman is most likely the murderer who poisoned him."
"He really didn't come to our place last night to call Miss." The fat woman's expression became serious as she said, "Not only did he not come last night, but he hasn't visited our place in the past month or so. "
Luo Zhe said: "Really? Then is it possible for him to go to another place to call Miss?"
The fat woman shook her head and said: "Probably not. Cao Yibao is a stingy person. The reason why he frequents our place is because our price is cheap. In other places around here, there are ladies who sit on the stage at the hotel. Our place is more than twice as expensive. He is reluctant to spend this unjustified money."
Luo Zhe was dubious about her words, glanced at the ladies in the room, and asked, "Are all the ladies under your command here?"
The fat woman said, "Yes."
Luo Zhe said: "You tell them not to do business or go out tonight. Later I will call someone to collect their DNA samples and take them back for comparison. We found the hair left by the murderer on Cao Yibao's bed , as long as you do a DNA comparison, you can know if it has anything to do with the girls under your command."
The fat woman nodded and said, "Okay, okay."
A few days later, the results of the comparison came out, and none of the [-] girls in the Lichun hair house matched the DNA of the pubic hair left on Cao Yibao's bed.
The possibility of Miss Li Chunfawu committing the crime was basically ruled out.
The police also visited the hostesses in some nearby restaurants and hotels, but did not find any clues.
Once when Luo Zhe went to Xinghui Hotel to investigate, he happened to meet the mother of Lichun Fawu walking out of the four-star hotel with a man on her arm.
Because she was a little familiar with Luo Zhe, the fat woman spoke a little presumptuously, and said, "Sir, are you going to the hotel to find beautiful women?"
Luo Zhe said, "No, let's investigate Cao Yibao's case."
The fat woman curled her lips and said, "You don't have to bother to come to such a high-end place to find clues, Cao Yibao, that cheapskate, wouldn't go to such a high-end place to find women even if he was killed."
Luo Zhe said: "But the night he died, he did find a woman."
The fat woman said: "There is only one possibility, he is looking for a woman who is cheaper than our Lichun hair house."
Luo Zhe said: "Didn't you say that your Lichun hair house is the cheapest here? Is there any lower price than yours?"
The fat woman laughed and said, "Sir, you really don't understand. Our lady in Lichunfawu is indeed the cheapest one. It is impossible for Cao Yibao to find a cheaper one than ours, but he can find one for free."
Luo Zhe was startled, and asked, "Are there any free ones?"
The fat woman said: "Of course, for example, if a woman finds him rich and becomes his girlfriend, isn't that free?"

Luo Zhe returned to the bureau thoughtfully, Xiao Li greeted him, and said excitedly: "Captain Luo, we have a clue about Cao Yibao's case."
It turned out that Xiao Li and the others visited all the residents of the building where Cao Yibao lived, and none of them saw a woman entering or leaving Cao Yibao's residence on the night of the incident.
Just when Xiao Li was a little discouraged, a motorcycle driver who had been soliciting passengers nearby for a long time provided the police with a useful clue.
At around nine o'clock when the incident happened, the motorcycle driver had sent a woman from Xincheng District to No. 24 Huangshu Street. He saw the woman enter Room 402 downstairs.The woman was about 30 years old, her plump thighs were wrapped in transparent glass stockings, she was wearing a pair of white sandals on her feet, and she had light makeup on her face, she looked pretty.
According to his description, the police initially suspected that the woman he carried that night should be Cao Yibao's ex-wife Ruan Huichang.
Later, the police found a photo of Ruan Huichang and showed it to the motorcycle driver, who said it was her.
According to police investigation, Ruan Huichang was a salesperson in a jewelry store. She divorced Cao Yibao five years ago, and later fell in love with a supermarket buyer named Zeng Xian.The two have been living together, but not married.A year ago, Zeng Xian resigned and opened his own electric mahjong machine marketing store, but the business was not good.
Xiao Li asked: "Captain Luo, do you still remember the safe in Cao Yibao's bedroom? After our technicians managed to open it, they found that Cao Yibao kept some cash, passbooks and gold utensils in it, and a IOU. It shows that at the beginning of this year, Ruan Huichang borrowed 10 yuan from Cao Yibao, and the interest was very high."
Luo Zhe patted his thigh and said, "That's right."
The mother of Lichun Fawu said that Cao Yibao found a girlfriend for free, but she was only half right. Cao Yibao found his ex-wife Ruan Huichang.
Ruan Huichang borrowed money from him and couldn't repay it for a while, so Cao Yibao used this as an excuse to force her to have a relationship with him.For more than a month, Ruan Huichang was often called to the house by Cao Yibao. Because she was afraid of meeting acquaintances, she always avoided others when she went upstairs. Therefore, although the days were long, the neighbors on the left and right never saw her at the door of Cao Yibao's house.
Cao Yibao's demands became more and more frequent and unbearable. Finally, Ruan Huichang, who had suffered so much humiliation, couldn't bear it anymore. When Cao Yibao called her again to satisfy her animal desires, she quietly took the poison she had prepared in advance.
Although the details of Ruan Huichang's committing the crime still need further deliberation, the motive, time and method of committing the crime are all clear.
Luo Zhe asked Xiao Li to immediately take someone to the jewelry store where Ruan Huichang worked, and collect her DNA samples without touching her, and compare it with the female pubic hair left on Cao Yibao's bed.
A few days later, the results of the comparison came out, and they were in perfect agreement.
Luo Zhe immediately ordered: "Arrest Ruan Huichang immediately!"
When Ruan Huichang was "invited" to the Public Security Bureau, she just got off work from the counter of the jewelry store. Just in his early thirties.
After reading her ID card, Luo Zhe knew that this woman was actually only two years younger than Cao Yibao, and she was 38 years old this year.
After the suspect was captured, the police officers in the task force were very excited, and the interrogation started overnight.
Luo Zhe asked Ruan Huichang straight to the point: "Do you know why we invited you here?"
Ruan Huichang said nervously, "Is it because of Cao Yibao's case?"
Luo Zhe nodded and said, "It's good that you understand. Tell me, why did you poison your ex-husband?"
Ruan Huichang originally thought that the police called her to help investigate the cause of Cao Yibao's death. After hearing this, she realized that the police regarded her as a murderer. She immediately jumped up from the chair, but was pushed down by two policewomen next to her.
Ruan Huichang took a breath and said, "You, what are you talking about? I didn't kill Cao Yibao. His death has nothing to do with me."
Luo Zhe stared at her and said coldly: "Someone saw you walking into Cao Yibao's residence after nine o'clock on the night of the incident."
Ruan Huichang was startled, the expression on his face changed, his voice lowered, and he said, "I did go to his house that night, but I came out soon."
Wen Li, a female police officer who participated in the interrogation, said: "Now, you are still lying? We extracted your pubic hair on Cao Yibao's messy bed. How do you explain it?"
Ruan Huichang looked at Luo Zhe and another male policeman present, her face flushed suddenly, and she was speechless for a while.
Luo Zhe said with a sullen face: "We found the IOU in Cao Yibao's safe that you borrowed 10 yuan from him at the beginning of this year. The repayment deadline is March [-], which is the day Cao Yibao was poisoned and killed. We have investigated However, Cao Yibao has a lecherous problem. After divorcing you, he often went to the hair salon to find a lady, but in the past month, he never went out to see a lady again. But according to our investigation, there are often reports of women in his room at night Voice. If I'm right, that woman is you, isn't it?"
Ruan Huichang shook her head feebly and said, "No, it's not me..."
Luo Zhe stared at her and said, "No, it's you. You borrowed 10 yuan from Cao Yibao. Seeing that the repayment deadline is approaching, you are unable to repay the huge sum of money. Cao Yibao became lustful for your ex-wife. Use this IOU as an excuse to coerce you into having a relationship with him."
Ruan Huichang's eyes turned red, and she almost shed tears, saying: "It's true. But I, I didn't..."
Luo Zhe pressed on step by step, and said: "No, you have. Since about a month ago, you have been forced by him. You often come to his house at night to satisfy his animal desires. He once promised you that as long as you Be there on call, satisfy his request, and return the IOU to you when the IOU expires, and the debt between you will be written off, right?"
Ruan Huichang said: "Yes, he did say that..."
Luo Zhe said: "But on March [-]th, when the final repayment deadline came, he suddenly regretted it. Not only did he not give you the IOU, but he also continued to pursue debts from you. Your month of humiliation did not bring you back What you want, you feel that you have been greatly deceived, and you can’t help but feel evil. In fact, you have long been prepared to die, so you have prepared poison in your handbag in advance. At this time, you quietly sprinkle the poison into A can of drink, and tricked Cao Yibao to drink it. Because the portion was enough, Cao Yibao struggled to die in just a few minutes. Then you quickly wiped off the traces left by yourself, picked up the can of Cao Yibao After drinking the poisoned drink, he quietly left his residence. But you must have never dreamed that a single hair you accidentally left on Cao Yibao's bed would expose all your crimes, right?"
When Ruan Huichang heard this, her expression suddenly became agitated, and she whimpered, "No, no, it's not what you said at all. I didn't poison Cao Yibao, and I didn't kill him. He, he did threaten me with an IOU, asking me to Have sex with him, have sex with him. But I already have a boyfriend now, I love him, and I don’t want to do anything wrong to him, so I refused Cao Yibao’s request, and I told him that I will pay back on the repayment date no matter what. I returned the money to him before. On March 10th, I finally got together [-] yuan. That night I went to his house by motorcycle to pay him back the money.”
According to Ruan Huichang, after she returned the 10 yuan to Cao Yibao that night, she asked him for the IOU.Unexpectedly, Cao Yibao picked up the calculator on the table and pressed it, and then told her that she still owed him 2 yuan in interest.
She was in a hurry at the time. In order to make up the 10 yuan, she had already tried her best. Now even if it killed her, she couldn't come up with another 2 yuan.In desperation, she broke her heart, took off her clothes and lay on Cao Yibao's bed, and said to him: "Didn't you always want mine? Come on, I'll give it to you now, but the interest I owe , have to be written off."
Unexpectedly, Cao Yibao, a miser, faced her naked body, but made his own calculations.
He curled his lips and said, "Hmph, once I touch you, the interest of 2 yuan will be gone. No lady in the world is that expensive. I don't suffer from this. Besides, I have found someone now, and I don't need a penny." Hua, you can still serve me happily. The interest of 2 yuan is not less than a penny. For the sake of our husband and wife, I will give you another three days. Once the three-day period is over, I will If you want compound interest, you will be charged interest in addition to the interest."
Ruan Huichang saw that he was cold and unmoved, so she couldn't help feeling ashamed and angry, put on her clothes, and walked away in a hurry.
Cao Yibao cursed some dirty words behind him, and locked the anti-theft door heavily from the house.
It was not until the next afternoon that Ruan Huichang learned of Cao Yibao's death.
She was both surprised and happy in her heart, she was surprised that she had been to Cao Yibao's residence last night, and wondered if she would get into trouble because of it.The joy is that once Cao Yibao died, there would be no head of debt and no owner, so naturally the 2 yuan interest would never be repaid.
Policewoman Wen Lixiu frowned, looked at Ruan Huichang and said, "You mean, because you took off your clothes and lay on Cao Yibao's bed, it's not surprising that you left body hair on his bed, right?"
Ruan Huichang nodded and said, "It should be like this."
While observing the expression on the other person's speech, Luo Zhe asked, "When did you leave Cao Yibao's residence that night?"
Ruan Huichang said: "I arrived at his house at 09:30 in the evening and stayed in his house for less than half an hour. It should have been before ten o'clock when I left."
Luo Zhe asked: "Who can prove that you left before ten o'clock in the evening?"
Ruan Huichang shook her head and said: "No one can prove it. My current boyfriend is narrow-minded and likes to be jealous. I am afraid that others will see it and spread it to his ears, so I am very careful every time I contact Cao Yibao. When I went to his house, I did not Let others see it, and be very careful when you come out, avoiding the eyes and ears of everyone in the corridor."
Luo Zhe said: "That is to say, you have no way to prove that you really left Cao Yibao's residence before ten o'clock in the evening?"
Ruan Huichang lowered her head.
Luo Zhe looked towards the policewoman Wen Li, who had a suspicious expression on her face.
Luo Zhe stood up and said sternly to Ruan Huichang: "The evidence the police have now is very unfavorable to you. You can't produce any evidence to prove that what you just said is true. We are skeptical of your confession. I will give you one night It’s time for you to think about it carefully, and I’ll ask you again tomorrow. If you don’t tell the truth, then the only one who suffers in the end will be yourself.”

Early the next morning, the police interrogated Ruan Huichang for the second time.
Ruan Huichang's hair was disheveled, her eyes were red and swollen, and she was staring blankly at the corner of the wall. She probably didn't sleep in the detention room last night.
Luo Zhe knocked hard on the table, Ruan Huichang was startled, and then raised his head.Luo Zhe looked sternly, stared at her and asked, "Ruan Huichang, have you thought it through yet?"
Ruan Huichang's expression was a little numb, she looked up at him, nodded slowly, and said, "I, I've made up my mind."
Luo Zhe said: "Then let me ask you again, did you kill your ex-husband Cao Yibao?"
Ruan Huichang was in a trance, her head was shaking slightly, she couldn't tell if she was nodding or shaking her head, and she murmured: "No, no, I, I didn't..."
At this moment, investigator Xiao Li broke in, called Luo Zhe to the door, and said out of breath, "Captain Luo, we have a new clue."
In a family on the fifth floor of the building where Cao Yibao lived, there was a boy who was in the third year of high school. Because he was in school during the day, Xiao Li and the others did not inquire about all the residents in the building a few times before. to that boy.Last night, Xiao Li came to that building again to look for clues. The boy just came back from his study next night and provided him with a clue.
At 10:30 p.m. on March 30th, he came home from his evening self-study at school. When he went up the stairs, he saw a man in front of him, and turned into the fourth floor from the stairs.At that time, the lights in the corridor were dim, and he could only see the man from behind, about [-] years old, tall and thin, with a crew cut, wearing a white shirt and glasses.
Luo Zhe asked: "Have you investigated whether that man is a resident of the building?"
Xiao Li said: "I have investigated, not to mention the fourth floor, but there is no such man in the whole building. I asked other residents on the fourth floor if there was such a guest who came that night, and they all said no. So I suspect……"
"There is no need to doubt." Ruan Huichang, whose will was almost broken, overheard the voice outside the door, and suddenly sighed, "You don't need to wrong others, Cao Yibao...I killed..."
Her statement was basically consistent with Luo Zhe's reasoning yesterday.
She was unable to repay the huge sum of 10 yuan, and Cao Yibao asked her to repay the debt with her own body, so she had to agree with humiliation.Unexpectedly, at the last moment, Cao Yibao refused to return the IOU to her, and still urged her to repay the loan.In fact, Ruan Huichang is not a completely unscheming woman, she has been guarding against Cao Yibao's trick for a long time, so she has already made preparations for death, and prepared poison in her handbag.At that time, in a fit of anger, he became murderous towards Cao Yibao, and quietly sprinkled poison into the drink he drank.After Cao Yibao was poisoned to death, Ruan Huichang cleaned up the scene carefully and left quietly.Originally, she wanted to take away her IOU, but Cao Yibao locked the IOU in the safe and couldn't get it, so she had to give up.
After listening to Ruan Huichang's confession, Luo Zhe couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. This sensational naked corpse case finally came to light.
He stared at Ruan Huichang and asked, "Now there is one last question, how did you lock the door of Cao Yibao's residence?"
Ruan Huichang was a little stunned, and said, "I went out and locked his door."
Luo Zhe said with a downcast face: "When the case happened, the door of Cao Yibao's residence was locked from the inside. I have carefully checked the lock on the anti-theft door. Under normal circumstances, the hidden lock inside cannot be locked from the outside. Tell me honestly, what method did you use to turn the crime scene into a secret room?"
"Secret room?" Ruan Huichang asked with a blank face, "What secret room?"
Luo Zhe said angrily: "Now, you still pretend to be confused with me?"
"When I, I left, I closed the door, no, no, it was locked, the door was locked..." Ruan Huichang said incoherently here, her face suddenly turned pale, her lips turned purple, her hands covered her chest, and her face was exposed. With a painful expression, his body tilted, and he slid off the chair and fainted to the ground.
Luo Zhe was startled, and hastily stepped forward to check. Seeing that her eyes were closed tightly and her breathing was rapid, and she was not pretending, she realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly shouted: "Call the doctor quickly."
The doctor arrived quickly, and after a brief examination, he said, "She has a heart attack and needs to be sent to the hospital immediately."
Luo Zhe and Wen Li had no choice but to carry Ruan Huichang into the ambulance and send them to the Municipal People's Hospital.
The doctor worked for a long time and finally stabilized Ruan Huichang's condition, but she was still in a coma and never woke up.
Luo Zhe asked the doctor when she would wake up?
The doctor said that she had a heart attack, she was strongly stimulated, and fell into a deep coma. We can only stabilize her condition. As for when she will wake up, it depends on her.
Luo Zhe was in a hurry, grabbed the doctor's white coat and said loudly, how can that be done, she is our suspect, and a murder case is still waiting for her confession.
The doctor glared at him and said, what's the matter, this is a hospital.Here, there are only patients, not prisoners.We can only do our best. When she will wake up depends on her own will.
Luo Zhe stood there in a daze, speechless for a long time.
He called two policewomen to guard Ruan Huichang.
When he walked out of the ward, Wen Li suddenly said to him: "Captain Luo, should we go and see Captain Xia?"
The "Team Xia" she was referring to was Xia Jianfeng, head of the Criminal Investigation Brigade of the Municipal Public Security Bureau.
It was only then that Luo Zhe remembered that Lao Xia was wounded by a homemade pistol while arresting a drug dealer some time ago, and he has been recuperating in the People's Hospital.He nodded and said, "Okay, let's go and see the old captain, and ask him about the current case by the way."
Xia Jianfeng lived in the surgical ward 824. He was lying on the bed reading a book bored. When he saw Luo Zhe and Wen Li visiting him, he couldn't help grinning happily.
Luo Zhe and Wen Li sat down and chatted with the old captain for a while, Xia Jianfeng asked what happened in the bureau recently?
Luo Zhe told him about the case of Cao Yibao's naked death.
Finally, Ruan Huichang has admitted that she is the murderer, and now there is only one last question that we have not figured out, which is how did Ruan Huichang lock the anti-theft door of Cao Yibao's residence from the inside when he left, and set up the scene as a secret room?During the interrogation, she herself had a vague memory and didn't speak clearly. In the end, she was in a hurry and fainted from a heart attack.The doctor said that he didn't know when he would wake up.
After Xia Jianfeng listened, he threw the book in his hand aside, sat up straight and asked, "Did that woman really deny the fact of the crime last night, but this morning she suddenly bowed her head and confessed?"
Wen Li nodded and said, "That's right, keeping her in the detention room for one night will make her more honest."
Xia Jianfeng sighed and said, "I think what you haven't figured out now is definitely more than the last question. Ruan Huichang denied it in every possible way yesterday, but after listening to Xiao Li's new clue this morning, she suddenly changed her mouth and admitted that Cao Yibao killed herself. Do you think there is a problem here? Also, Xiao Luo, I am not criticizing you, you listened to the latest clues of the case reported by Xiao Li at the door of the interrogation room, and let the suspects in the room hear your voice, which is against the regulations."
Luo Zhe blushed, and said: "At that time, Xiao Li was too excited because he had a new clue, and he was in a hurry to report it to me, so he didn't pay much attention."
Xia Jianfeng nodded and said, "Go and investigate the situation of Ruan Huichang's new boyfriend right away to see how their relationship is? How is his financial situation? It would be best if you could get me a full body photo of him, and, By the way, bring all the information about this case and show it to me."
Although Luo Zhe was full of suspicion, he still took the order and left.
In the afternoon, he went to the ward to report to Xia Jianfeng that Ruan Huichang had a good relationship with her boyfriend Zeng Xian. Although they were not married, they had been living together.Zeng Xian now runs an electric mahjong machine sales shop, but the business is not good and he has been losing money.Ruan Huichang borrowed money from her ex-husband Cao Yibao to use it as working capital for his business.
Luo Zhe then showed Zeng Xian's photo to Xia Jianfeng. The man in the photo was about 30 years old, over 1.8 meters tall, thin, with short-cut hair, and wearing a pair of myopia glasses.
Xia Jianfeng pointed to the photo and asked, "Did you see anything?"
Luo Zhe glanced at the photo and said inexplicably, "There's nothing wrong."
Xia Jianfeng said: "Didn't Xiao Li say in the morning that someone saw a tall, thin man with glasses go to the fourth floor where Cao Yibao lived on the night of the incident?"
Luo Zhe looked at the photo and suddenly understood: "So you suspect that the man with glasses is Ruan Huichang's cohabiting boyfriend? Why didn't I think of that."
Xia Jianfeng said: "Oh, Ruan Huichang is much more sensitive than you. As soon as she heard you mention the man with glasses, she already guessed that it was her boyfriend."
Luo Zhe understood what he was thinking, and continued his words: "Ruan Huichang thinks that the man with glasses is Zeng Xian. Zeng Xian followed her secretly and found her coming out of Cao Yibao's house. Being jealous by nature, he thought she and her ex-husband had rekindled their old relationship. , with hatred in her heart, so she secretly poisoned Cao Yibao to death. In fact, Ruan Huichang's confession yesterday was true, but this morning when she heard that a man with a flat head and glasses went to the fourth floor on the night of the incident, she immediately thought of the murderer It must be her boyfriend Zeng Xian. She has too much affection for him, and she doesn't want Zeng Xian to become a murderer because of herself, so she immediately admits that Cao Yibao killed herself. She wants to take the blame for Zeng Xian."
Xia Jianfeng nodded and said: "That's right, she really thinks so. She usually watches a lot of detective TV, and she can fabricate some details of the crime by herself, but how to lock the door from the inside and turn the scene of the crime into a secret room?" One point, she hasn't done it, so she can't answer it if you ask her."
Luo Zhe said, "I will arrest Zeng Xian immediately."
Xia Jianfeng waved his hand and said: "Don't be so anxious, first send someone to monitor him, do a peripheral investigation, and find out where he was when the crime happened."
Luo Zhe straightened his body and said, "Yes." He immediately took Xiao Li there.
In the evening, when Luo Zhe came to report the situation to Xia Jianfeng, he was a little listless.
Luo Zhe said: "Captain Xia, we have already investigated. On the night of the incident, Zeng Xian had been repairing the mahjong machine with two workers in the store. He never left from eight o'clock at night to twelve o'clock at night. He has sufficient Alibi. The man who appeared on the fourth floor of Cao Yibao’s residence was not him at all.”
Xia Jianfeng said "Oh" and said, "So, Ruan Huichang was wrong, and we were wrong too."

Sitting on the hospital bed, Xia Jianfeng spent one night carefully reviewing all the pictures, investigation records, interrogation transcripts and other materials of Cao Yibao's murder case.
Early the next morning, he called Luo Zhe to the hospital and showed him a photo.
Luo Zhe saw that it was a panoramic photo of Cao Yibao's bedroom at the scene of the crime, including a bed, a table, a TV, a safe, and a naked corpse.
He frowned and said, "We have searched the scene carefully, is there anything wrong?"
Xia Jianfeng pointed to the table in the photo and said, "Do you see what's on the table?"
Luo Zhe looked at the photo again. In the photo, there were magnetized cups, TV remote controls, calculators, ledgers, inflators, telephones, tea boxes and other sundries on the table, but he still didn't see anything wrong.
Xia Jianfeng said: "Judging from the layout of Cao Yibao's house, he is a very practical person. You can see that everything in his house, including sundries, has a clear purpose, and nothing is superfluous. of."
Luo Zhe nodded and said, "That's true. Others say he is a stingy person, and it seems to be true."
Xia Jianfeng asked: "Did you find anything like inflatable balls, swimming rings, inflatable toys in his house?"
Luo Zhe shook his head and said, "No."
Xia Jianfeng said: "That's right. Let's see what this is again?" He clicked on the photo with his finger.
Luo Zhe took a closer look, and he was referring to the miniature foot-operated air pump on the table.
Xia Jianfeng said: "There is nothing in his house that needs to be inflated. Why is there this air pump? And it is placed on the table next to the bed. Obviously it has just been used and has not had time to put it away."
Luo Zhe was completely confused. He looked at the old captain and said, "Old Xia, don't be fooled. Tell me what you think. I'm dying of anxiety."
Xia Jianfeng smiled and said: "Didn't Cao Yibao tell Ruan Huichang that he has found someone now, and he doesn't need to spend a penny, so he can still serve him happily? After investigation, Cao Yibao did not find someone again after the divorce." Girlfriend, who can make him not spend a minute, but can serve him happily?" When he said this, he tapped his finger on the air pump twice.
Luo Zhe suddenly understood: "You don't need to spend a penny, that's just sex dolls."
Xia Jianfeng said: "That's right, it's this thing. I heard that the current sex inflatable doll can be made like a real person. It not only has the functions of a woman, but also imitates the voice of a real person. In short, it can do anything that a woman can do to a man. Do."
Luo Zhe said: "You mean, Cao Yibao thought it was not worthwhile to go to the hair salon to call the lady, so he spent money to buy a sex doll and came back. In the past month, the screams of women in Cao Yibao's room were actually made by this sex doll , isn’t it? You wouldn’t say that Cao Yibao was killed by an inflatable doll, would you? Also, we didn’t find any inflatable doll in Cao Yibao’s house, could it be that it ran away after killing people?”
Xia Jianfeng nodded and said, "That's right, the two questions you raised are the crux of the case. If Cao Yibao really had sex dolls in his room, where did they go? Now we have to find a way to determine whether Cao Yibao really used an inflatable doll." .Only when this is confirmed can we proceed with the investigation.”
Luo Zhe said: "It's not difficult to find out. There are not many ways to buy such things, except for buying in adult products stores, which is online shopping. Cao Yibao doesn't know how to use a computer, so we can only buy them in adult products stores. We only need You can find out by investigating the surrounding adult goods stores."
Luo Zhe immediately took action. Together with Xiao Li, each led a team to investigate the adult goods stores in the city.They took a photo of Cao Yibao and went to every adult product store to ask if the person in the photo had ever bought an inflatable doll in the store?There are not many people who buy this thing. If you have done such a business, the shopkeeper will generally remember it.But the police asked all the adult goods stores in the urban area, and they all said that there were no such customers.
When Luo Zhe was discouraged, the owner of an adult product store told him that in this city, besides some adult product stores, there is another place where you can buy inflatable dolls, and that is in the northern suburb of the city. Chaoming Plastic Factory.The sex inflatable dolls sold in all adult goods stores in Xiulin City, no matter what brand, are produced and supplied there.If you are greedy for cheap, it is not uncommon to buy an inflatable doll back from there at the ex-factory price.
Luo Zhe also learned from A Feng, a guy at the Caoji grocery store, that Cao Yibao buys some plastic products in the grocery store from this Chaoming Plastic Factory.
Luo Zhe thought this was a clue, and immediately led Xiao Li to find the Chaoming Plastic Factory in the outskirts of the city.
The Chaoming Plastic Factory was built on a small hill in the suburbs. Due to environmental pollution, there was no vegetation around it, and it became a barren hill.The factory mainly produces plastic products for daily use, and also produces some counterfeit sex inflatable dolls.
The factory manager, surnamed Xie, is bald, short and fat, with a businessman's insincere smile on his face.
Factory manager Xie told the police that the inflatable dolls produced in his factory were all counterfeit products.They first buy some samples with better sales from the Internet, and then the special designers in the factory make a little modification, and then they can turn them into their own products for mass production.
Luo Zhe asked Cao Yibao if he ever came to the factory to buy an inflatable doll?
Factory Manager Xie said yes. About a month ago, Cao Yibao came to the factory to buy goods, and he took a fancy to an inflatable doll, so he pestered him to buy it at the ex-factory price.
Luo Zhe asked Cao Yibao which inflatable doll he liked?
Director Xie said that the inflatable doll he bought was a sample just designed by our factory's designer, and there was only one, which happened to be bought by him.Usually the products in our factory are designed according to the appearance of the heroine of Japanese AV movies, but the inflatable doll seems to be designed to look like a Chinese woman, with a melon-seeded face and willow-leaf eyebrows, which is very beautiful.
Luo Zhe asked: "Where is that designer? We want to meet him."
Director Xie said: "Don't mention it. He designed the inflatable doll and placed it in his office. At that time, he went out for some reason. Cao Yibao passed by the door of his office and saw the inflatable doll. He liked it very much. Then I bought it. At that time, I thought that I would just wait for the designer to come back and make another one. Unexpectedly, the designer lost the inflatable doll when he came back, and he was furious at me and told me to ask Cao Yibao for the sample. What did I think? There is a reason to buy something and want it back, so I didn't agree. As a result, this kid slapped the table and resigned."
Why did a small designer get angry at the boss because of a blow-up doll, and resign in anger?Luo Zhe felt that there must be something wrong.
He asked Director Xie what was the designer's name and where did he live?
Director Xie said his name was Ji Hua, but he didn't know where he lived.However, when he entered the factory and signed the labor contract, he left a copy of his ID card, which can be checked.
Factory Manager Xie asked someone to find a copy of Jihua's ID card. Luo Zhe saw that the address written on it was No. 7, Datong Village, Tiaoguan Town, Xiulin City.

It was already afternoon when Luo Zhe and Xiao Li drove to Tiaoguan Town.
The police car stopped in front of Gate 7 of Datong Village.
It was a one-story house, with mottled walls and dark wooden doors, showing that the house had been around for some time.The two doors were tightly closed, and a large iron lock was hung on the door.
Luo Zhe asked the neighbors left and right, is there a young man named Ji Hua living in this house?
Neighbors say yes.
Ask again, do you know where he is now?
The neighbors shook their heads and said they didn't know, and said that he didn't have a job now, and he often went out to hang out during the day and only came back at night.
Luo Zhe looked at the iron lock on the door, and decided not to wait for Jihua to come back, and searched the house first.
He called back to the bureau and told Wen Li to quickly complete the search warrant and send it over immediately.
An hour later, Wen Li drove there with a search warrant in hand.
Luo Zhe pried open the iron lock on the door of Jihua's house, and pushed the door open to enter. The room was dimly lit and looked gloomy and damp. It was difficult for him to find the electric light pull cord and turn on the light bulb in the room.
The house is not big, the furnishings are simple and messy, a typical bachelor's house.Walking from the main room, there is a small study room. There are some books on art design on the bookshelf. There is a group photo on the desk. A young man wearing glasses is hugging a girl in a white skirt, smiling sweetly. Warm.
Further back is the bedroom.
Luo Zhe opened the door and walked in. The light in the bedroom was even more dim. When his eyes just adjusted, he suddenly found a woman standing beside the wooden bed, a naked woman.
Luo Zhe couldn't help being startled, and when he took a closer look, he realized that it was an inflatable doll, with a height of more than 1.6 meters [-], fair skin, plump breasts, and a faint smile on his melon seed face. The image is vivid, almost no different from a real person.
He walked closer and took a closer look, and suddenly felt that this woman seemed familiar. He turned around and compared it with the group photo on the desk outside. Isn't this inflatable doll the woman in the photo?
He took a photo of the inflatable doll with his mobile phone and sent it to Director Xie. Director Xie called back and said that it was this inflatable doll that he bought for Cao Yibao, but he didn't know how it came back to Jihua.
Luo Zhe asked if it was possible that he made another one himself?
Factory manager Xie said it was impossible. He left the factory without any tools or materials. What would he use to make an inflatable doll?
Luo Zhe asked Director Xie if he knew Ji Hua had a girlfriend?
Director Xie said he knew it, but I had never seen it, only heard of it.It is said that his girlfriend and he were in the same class from middle school to university, and they were childhood sweethearts, but the girl broke up with him suddenly a few months ago and went to Hong Kong with a rich old man.
After thinking for a while, Luo Zhe copied Ji Hua's photo and sent it to Ah Feng, a clerk at Cao Ji's grocery store.
Ah Feng said that this man had gone to the store to find Boss Cao two or three times, as if he was looking for something back from the boss, and the two had a quarrel the last time.
Luo Zhe let out an "oh", and understood in his heart.
His childhood sweetheart's girlfriend suddenly changed her mind, which hit Jihua hard. He took advantage of the convenience of his work and designed an inflatable doll according to his girlfriend's appearance.In a fit of anger, he fired his boss.
He approached Cao Yibao several times and wanted to return his "girlfriend", but Cao Yibao naturally refused.
In order to get back his "girlfriend", Jihua murdered Cao Yibao.
On the night of the incident, the thin man who the high school student saw turning from the stairwell to the fourth floor was Ji Hua.
Just as Luo Zhe was thinking, he suddenly heard a neighbor calling Ji Hua's name outside.
He ran out to take a look, and saw a tall, thin man wearing glasses, with his head down, looking preoccupied, coming from the corner of the road.
Suddenly, he looked up and saw the police car parked in front of his house, his expression changed, he turned around and ran away.
"Jihua, stop, you can't run away!"
Luo Zhe recognized him as Jihua in the photo, shouted, and strode to catch up.Xiao Li also followed closely.
After a short run, the road came to a close, and a small river blocked the way.
Ji Hua looked back at the police who were chasing him, then turned a corner suddenly, and climbed up a four-story unfinished building on the side of the road.
Luo Zhe and Xiao Li chased after him without hesitation, rushed to the top of the building, and saw Ji Hua standing on the edge of the roof without guardrails.
"You, don't come here, or I will jump from here!" He yelled at the two policemen.
Luo Zhe knew that this was the roof of the fourth floor, and if he jumped off, he would surely die.
He hurriedly stopped, stood a few meters away, and said calmly: "Jihua, you stand in the middle first, and speak slowly if you have something to say."
Ji Hua was emotional, waving his arms wildly, and shouted: "What else is there to say? My girlfriend Meimei has changed her mind. I devoted all my efforts to designing and manufacturing an inflatable doll exactly like her. I treasured it, but who knew it was sold to Cao Yibao, a pervert, by the profit-seeking factory manager. I went to Cao Yibao to ask Meimei back, but he not only refused to return it to me, but also said lewdly that Meimei’s voice calling the bed was real. It sounds good, she smells so good... I can't tolerate this wretched man defiled Meimei, and that night, I poisoned him with potassium cyanide and took my Meimei back..."
The police have been disclosing to the outside world that Cao Yibao was killed by poison. As for what kind of deadly poison he died of, no one knows except the police insiders.
Since Jihua can say that Cao Yibao died of potassium cyanide poisoning, it seems that what he said is true.
Luo Zhe was about to ask him about the details of the crime, when Ji Hua danced and danced with emotion, suddenly his foot slipped, he leaned back, and fell straight down the stairs.
Luo Zhe hurried to catch up, only to hear a "bang" from downstairs, looking down, Ji Hua had fallen to the ground on his back, blood gushing out, staining the ground red.
The two ran downstairs, and Jihua was out of breath.

When Xia Jianfeng was discharged from the hospital, Luo Zhe and Wen Li went to pick him up.
Xia Jianfeng asked Cao Yibao if the case was solved?
Roger said it was broken.
Xia Jianfeng glanced at him and saw that his face was sullen and listless, he was a little strange, and asked why he was still so sullen since the case had been solved?
Luo Zhe told him how he went to find Jihua, and finally said that although the case was solved, there are still many details that have not been clarified, such as how Jihua poisoned him and how he opened the door from inside. Lock it up, and arrange the scene into a secret room.There are no answers to these key questions, and the case is a poor one.
Xia Jianfeng thought about it after listening, and asked him: "Have you seen that inflatable doll?"
Luo Zhe said: "I have seen it, it is very beautiful, very lifelike, just like a real person."
Xia Jianfeng asked: "You are talking about the state of it being full of air, what will happen if you release the air inside?"
Luo Zhe said: "If you release the air, fold it up, you can put it in your pocket and take it away. It is very light. I have to say that the design is very clever. In this regard, Ji Hua is a genius."
Xia Jianfeng put his hands behind his back, took a few steps forward, and suddenly raised his head and asked, "Have you searched Ji Hua's residence, and have you seen long bamboo poles or fishing rods in his room?"
Luo Zhe said: "Yes, there is a telescopic fishing rod in his house, which is less than one meter long when it is retracted. If it is straightened, it will be seven or eight meters long."
Xia Jianfeng's eyes lit up, and he said, "That's right, why Ji Hua didn't leave any trace in Cao Yibao's house, it's because he never entered the house at all. Why he can arrange the scene into a secret room, it's because The person who locked the door was not him at all, but Cao Yibao."
Xia Jianfeng reasoned that on the night of the incident, Ruan Huichang left Cao Yibao's house. Cao Yibao locked the anti-theft door from the inside. Then he took out the inflatable doll, inflated it with an air pump, put it on the bed, and went to the bathroom to take a shower.At this time, Ji Hua, who had planned for a long time, sneaked to his window, "fished" the inflatable doll to the window with a fishing rod, and smeared poisonous water dissolved in potassium cyanide on the mouth and chest of the inflatable doll through the anti-theft net. Then put the inflatable doll back in place.When Cao Yibao got out of the shower, while using the inflatable doll, he inhaled the poison by kissing and biting the mouth and chest of the inflatable doll, and fell to the ground a few minutes later.At this time, Jihua "fished" the inflatable doll to the window, released the air, and took it out of the anti-theft grid.
After hearing this, Wen Li found it incredible, and asked, "Is it true that someone would kill someone for an inflatable doll?"
Xia Jianfeng said thoughtfully: "In Ji Hua's eyes, it's not just an inflatable doll, but his girlfriend Meimei, and even Cao Yibao is not just Cao Yibao, maybe in his eyes, it has turned into an inflatable doll that snatches his daughter away." A rich Hong Kong man of a friend. If that's the case, it's not surprising that he did the killing."
Luo Zhe looked at the old captain with admiration, his frown finally relaxed.
After answering the phone, Wen Li said, "The doctor said that Ruan Huichang has woken up from a coma. Shall we go and see her?"
Xia Jianfeng nodded and said, "It should."
