Chapter XXXVIII

According to the information, in the early morning of 16 July 1989, the police received a report that a body without a palm had been found in a rented house in the eastern suburbs of the city.

On the 18th of the same month, a body floating in the city's moat was found and reported by a cleaning staff, and the deceased also had no palms.

On the 25th, on the hill near Jiangjia Village, Sancheng County, the villagers went up the mountain to dig wild vegetables and found a completely decomposed male corpse.

On August 1 of the same year, the police received a call from the funeral home, claiming that the bodies that were about to be cremated had been replaced.

What's even more infuriating is that just half a month after the police opened the case for investigation, a nameless corpse without a head was spread out on a mat and appeared in a deep alley at the back door of the police station.

In this vicious homicide case named 716, there were five deceased, three of whom were migrant workers, two were from the city, and the largest age span was not more than two years old.

After confirming the information of the deceased, the police launched an investigation one by one, hoping to get some clues about the relevance from their identity information, but the results were unsatisfactory, except for the government driver Zhang Liangtian who often went to a KTV to sing and may know Han Jiang, the other three police checked them out, and they did not get any important clues about the five of them knowing each other.

However, to the surprise of the police, all the deceased in this case did not have valuables around them, such as wallets or bracelets, gold necklaces, etc., but they found traces of rings and necklaces on Zhang Liangtian and Liu Miao's bodies all year round, so the police speculated at the time that this was a robbery and murder.

But the problem is that ordinary robbery and murder cases are all murders and goods are gone, but the five dead people in this are all cut off their hands.

Just when the police were in a state of anxiety, a phone call from the alarm center instantly broke the deadlock they were in, and a city construction employee found countless pairs of hands in a sewer, and these hands were very similar to fried chicken feet.

With a crisp click, I opened a certain file, and immediately after, one after another human hands that seemed to have been soaked chicken feet appeared in front of me in an instant.

I frowned slightly, these hands had been fried in the same way as the female corpse we found in the sewers, and forensically determined that they had been fried before they died.

From the beginning of the case to the appearance of manpower, there was a gap of more than half a month, but the police still did not have more reliable clues.

And just when this case was imminent and had to be solved, a man suddenly called the police who handled the case at the time and informed the police of the whole incident.

This man's name is Zhang Sanshun, that year, he was thirty-seven years old, he was the owner of a pet shop, after graduating from junior high school, he became addicted to gambling, from a piece of two pieces of mahjong, playing to one hundred and two hundred heads, and even learned others to play Texas.

Everyone knows that gambling is a thing that cheats nine out of ten, so Zhang Sanshun, who originally had a good family background, lost a villa and all the savings of his parents within three years, and in desperation, he could only borrow some money from a friend and open a pet store as his own livelihood.

However, the nightmare will eventually come, one day, Zhang Derong took his wife to the pet store to buy a dog, because both of them like to gamble, this chat, left a phone call, and then in the next year, Zhang Sanshun returned to his old business, began to communicate with Zhang Derong and several of his gambling friends, this back and forth, first tens of thousands, then millions, but he did not stop there, but the sword went sideways, to borrow loan sharks delusional can be a model.

Seeing this, I shook my head helplessly, according to the conversation on this call record, when Zhang Sanshun and Zhang Derong and the other four people gambled, they won more or less at first, but then they lost for more than ten days in a row, this is obviously a scam, a scam that deceived Zhang Sanshun into a set, don't talk about me, even if he told anyone back then, everyone would kindly remind him that the fault lies in the authorities.

Soon, it was time to repay the loan shark, Zhang Sanshun had all his belongings in such a shop, but at that time he borrowed 300,000 yuan, and when it was time to repay the money, even the principal and interest had reached more than 3 million, where did he get the money to repay? In desperation, he could only ask for help from the gambling friends who met every day on weekdays, but Zhang Derong and they did not listen to him much, and turned him away, and even couldn't find anyone in the end.

Zhang Sanshun suddenly realized that he had been deceived.

When people reach a dead end, they are always like this, not thinking about surviving in a desperate situation, but thinking about how to let those who deceive themselves get retribution.

Zhang Sanshun made it very clear in that phone call that he had found the five people one by one, and then killed them, and when the police asked him why he wanted to fry their hands, Zhang Sanshun had an obvious three-second pause.

He told the police that if he had a next life, he would be a good man, and gambling would really hurt people and bankrupt their families.

After saying this, he hung up the phone, and when the police found Zhang Sanshun's address and arrived at his house as soon as possible, Zhang Sanshun's body was already hanging coldly in his bedroom, and at his feet, there was a suicide note.

Most of the suicide notes are words of remorse, so they have no reference value.

And the evidence that really speeds up the police's closure of the case is the iron pot of Zhang Sanshun's house and a stove made by himself.

The police found Zhang Derong and Han Jiang's clothing fibers in the stove, and it is believed that the deceased should have been hidden in the stove by Zhang Sanshun before he died.

The next morning, the police received a test report, according to the test report, the sediment in the oil pot is bet to be a part of human dander and human bones, it can be determined that there were ten people in the oil pot.

"This is the most murderous case I have ever experienced, but it is also the simplest one, I don't believe that such a murderous murderer will surrender within half a month after the killing, and I don't believe that there will be a murderer who is more desperate, I don't want to close the case, but I can't help but close it, perhaps, you are right. ”

This is the self-statement of the policeman who handled the case at that time, and this self-statement should not have appeared in this file stored in the archives, but he just appeared.

What makes me suspicious is that from the time I opened this file to the policeman's closing statement, the information did not tell me who the policeman who investigated the 716 case that year was.

In fact, to be honest, I don't think there is anything unreasonable about this statement called Zhang Sanshun, on the contrary, in the call record, the policeman wrote out Zhang Sanshun's tone and words at that time.

I tried to close my eyes and imagine the scene at that time, yes, what Zhang Sanshun said was very reasonable, there was no disobedience at all, but the most unreasonable thing was also here, what he said was like preparing a manuscript in advance and reading it out, and when she recounted that he killed the five dead, he did not pause at all, not even a second of recollection, and blurted out directly.

And when he said that the five people conspired to cheat him out of money, he was extremely excited, I believe that Zhang Sanshun's words must be true, those five people did conspire to defraud him of his money, and forced him onto this road to death.

But I don't think what he said is true, at least 40% of it contains water, and this water is often the most important thing.
