Chapter 465: The First Case (2)
After climbing over the wall and entering the courtyard of the Li family, the murderer used an axe to open the bedroom door.
Here we need to explain the door locks of the year - the door locks commonly used by people in the eighties are not today's anti-theft door locks, but the use of latch door locks.
Due to the craftsmanship, the door seams were much larger than they are today, and the door frames were almost all wooden instead of the iron ones of today.
The murderer's way of opening the door is clumsy, but simple and effective.
He used an axe to dig a hole in the door frame through the crack in the door, and then used a stick or similar tool to pull the latch open - thus breaking the lock and entering the scene.
Since the murderer did not use an axe to violently chop the door frame, but dug out the gap little by little, the movement was not large, and if the victim was asleep, it would be difficult to detect.
Lin Lei knew that in the eighties and nineties, there were many similar cases of burglary and robbery in China. In addition to digging up door frames, there are even murderers who use methods to dig into walls and break into houses - this seems unthinkable today, but thirty years ago, it was a real thing.
After the killer entered the room, Officer Li's family slept on a large kang similar to a bunk. As soon as the murderer came up, he directly hacked the male owner, Officer Li, to death with an axe, and then began to kill Officer Li's wife and children.
The specific situation at the scene was too bloody, Captain Zhang didn't elaborate, anyway, Officer Li's family was all poisoned.
Because it was late at night, all the victims were killed in their sleep, and even after Officer Li was killed, his wife and children were awakened, and they were completely in a state of "confusion", and it was not uncommon for them to be killed by the murderer.
Perhaps because of the providence in the dark, Officer Li's youngest daughter was only cut unconscious by the murderer and was not killed.
The murderer left the scene, and after Officer Li's youngest daughter woke up, she crawled out of the house step by step, and finally crawled to the door of a relative's house not far away, which was worthy of picking up a life.
After receiving the police, the police are like a great enemy, which is equivalent to saying that it is almost a tragedy, and the victims are still policemen.
Whether out of righteous indignation or duty, the police quickly sprang into action, blocked the major exits of the city, and began a carpet search.
However, since several hours have passed since the murderer left, the police would not have been able to find out if the murderer had fled Hulan County or hid back to his residence.
Generally speaking, in the event of a major and vicious case, the police block the city's traffic arteries as soon as possible, which is an inevitable procedure.
There are two key points in this near-extinction case.
First, the murderer did not turn around the scene on a large scale, and did not take any money, but only took Officer Li's gun.
The second is the only eyewitness, the youngest daughter of the survivor, Officer Lee.
Because the child was only seven or eight years old, he was too young, and he was extremely frightened, even if the police specifically asked the policewoman and her family to do the child's work, the child could not remember anything and could not speak clearly.
After a long attempt, the police sent the little girl out of town for the purpose of protecting the victim - if the murderer was seeking revenge, then the child was too dangerous in the local area......
When Captain Zhang said this, his eyes turned red and he couldn't stop choking.
is also a police officer, and everyone has children, which is really empathetic.
Lin Lei was also silent, looking a little lonely.
Lin Lei knew that the only survivor at the scene, when he grew up, also joined the public security team and completed the tasks and responsibilities that his father had not completed.
It seems that trying to get key information from survivors won't work.
"Does Officer Li usually have a grudge against people?" Although he knew that it was almost a vain question, Lin Lei still had to ask once.
Normally, a vendetta is the most likely.
Captain Zhang hesitated for a moment and replied: "Xiao Lei, you also know -- who has never caught a criminal in our business? If we talk about seeking revenge, those who have been arrested by Officer Li with a bad record have the motive to seek revenge. ”
After a pause, Captain Zhang continued: "But if you make a grudge like the murder of the door, it seems that there is no such suspect. Officer Li is a police officer at the police station, and the most caught are thieves, so this should not be a matter of seeking revenge and destroying the door, right? After the incident, the Hulan police have already investigated all the criminals arrested by Officer Li, and no suspicious targets have surfaced. As for some people who are not recorded, it is difficult to check......"
Captain Zhang's words, of course Lin Lei understood.
There are some things that everyone understands.
At that time, the laws and regulations were not sound in some places, and "rule by man" and "rule of law" coexisted, and there were some things that were not recorded.
Needless to say, this is not something that can be changed by one person.
At least one thing can be determined, there should be no enemy who has a deep hatred with Officer Li on the surface, and can commit such a case as the murder of the door.
Otherwise, with such a large investigation by the police, if someone has a deep grudge against Officer Li, there is no need to doubt the intelligence and ability of the police, and they will definitely be able to find out.
The remaining key is Officer Li's gun.
The murderer didn't take anything, even a few hundred yuan in cash in the cabinet, and the murderer didn't turn it over, but just took the gun.
You must know that in the mid-to-late eighties, the monthly salary of ordinary workers was only a few tens of yuan. A few hundred yuan is equivalent to a year's salary, which is not a small amount.
A rough analogy is now, a few hundred yuan at that time, which is about equal to tens of thousands of yuan now.
This money is not much, but it is by no means a small amount, and the murderer can take it away with him, but he is indifferent.
Then the murderer's purpose is likely to be Officer Li's pistol.
It's just that if you want to get a gun, you don't necessarily have to do a big case, right?
Now the police don't dare to conclude that the murderer must have been for a pistol - because there are many ways to get a gun, and there is no need to choose to do a shocking case like a murder case.
For example, very simply, in the 80s, many units and enterprises had security offices, and there were also guns there.
At that time, the units and enterprises were all state-owned enterprises, and the security department was mainly to protect national property and deter enemy or other criminals.
If you want to get a gun, it should be easier to get a security guard from the security department than to go to the police.
Of course, there are no absolutes in the world, only the murderer himself knows about these things, and the police can only speculate one or two, and cannot make a conclusion.
The first case of Hu Lan's Daxia case is a shocking case of extermination!
As soon as this murderer made a move, it was extraordinary, and it was really bold to commit such a big case!
Captain Zhang finished the first case in a rambling manner, and Lin Lei was a little distracted......
Because Lin Lei was on a mission abroad in later generations, not at home, he only knew about the Hulan Daxia case, and he was not familiar with the specific case.
Now that Captain Zhang said this, Lin Lei has an intuitive understanding of the first case......
