Chapter 31: Revisiting Old Cases
The crying on the other end of the phone was hysterical, Shi Wei hung up the phone and sighed, he has been a police officer for many years, and there are countless similar cases he has encountered. People like them in this profession can experience the taste of life and death more than ordinary people, and in the short river of life, they can feel more deeply the hard-won life and the lightness of death. There are too many people with this social and psychological deformity, and it is this kind of person who has created an endless stream of family tragedies, and when is the end of this unfortunate thing.
When Lu Xifei received Xu Wei's call, Qiao Yixia was missing by his side, and he was a little irritable, but he couldn't miss a big thing because of a small thing. Xu Wei felt that Lu Xihua was quite eccentric, according to the rules and regulations, the High Bureau specially invited her to be a serious case consultant, but she resisted the identity of the police in every possible way, did not accept documents, did not accept police ranks, and repeatedly emphasized that she was willing to assist in handling the case, but only that.
I don't know if it's because of the bad mood, which has aggravated the chest tightness that has weakened a lot, Lu Xifei stood in front of the white board in the police station, flipping through the relevant information given to her by Xu Wei in her hand, and there were many photos of the crime scene pasted on the board, as well as some key words written with a black marker.
"Professor Lu, it has been determined that the victim is Zhao Xiaomu." Xu Wei said.
"Hmm." Lucy snorted faintly, obviously, this was not the result she expected, "Captain Xu, you can find that this girl is missing three bones on her body, and there are some dog hairs next to her, I believe you have already tested it." ”
Xu Wei nodded, collecting evidence on the spot was an essential step, and they naturally did not ignore the hair next to the bones: "It has been checked, this dog is an ordinary mongrel, but I don't know if it is domesticated or wild." Professor Lu also noticed this, right? The information is all about some nearby families with hybrid dogs, but there are too many of them to start, and we can't tell whether the victim's dog is domesticated or wild, and we don't even know if it's still alive or not. ”
"It's impossible to be alive." Lucy said categorically, "Otherwise, there will be a fourth or fifth bone that has disappeared." ”
Xu Wei and the others were sitting in their seats, everyone was pondering, Lu Xifei put the information in his hand on the table, picked up another one, which was the relevant information of the Zhao family, she paced slowly in front of the question board, and suddenly stopped and said: "This Zhao Jingcai, has he had a lawsuit before?" "Zhao Jingcai is Zhao Jiarong's only son.
Xu Wei nodded: "It's not, but that lawsuit was misjudged, and it was found out later, it was ten years ago." ”
Lucy lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, obviously not satisfied with this answer, so he said, "Captain Xu, can you let me meet the main person in charge of this case ten years ago." ”
Ten years ago, Zhao Jingcai, the son of the Zhao Group, was caught in a rape/rape case, the victim was a female college student, but the female student did not report the case in time, but only reported the case a week after the crime and identified Zhao Jingcai, at that time the hospital was unable to do further examination of the female student to test whether the prisoner was Zhao Jingcai in the mouth of the female student.
Zhao Jiacai is in great power, and invited a gold medal lawyer from a famous law firm to defend Zhao Jingcai, not long after, before the trial, the girl changed her confession, and flatly denied that the person who committed violence against her was Zhao Jingcai, but Zhou Kai, an alumnus of the same university as herself, the sudden change of the girl's confession undoubtedly plunged the whole case into a fog, for the girl's identification, Zhou Kai unexpectedly confessed, and Zhao Jingcai read that the girl was frightened and delirious, and did not further pursue the girl's defamation.
In order to prove Zhao Jingcai's innocence, the lawyer found out Zhang Jia, a girl who witnessed a qiē at the time, according to Zhang Jia, it was ten o'clock in the evening, she went to the mall to buy a few new clothes, because the dormitory closed at ten twenty, in order to save time, she walked a sparsely populated path, and happened to see the violent incident, after the incident, she was very afraid in her heart, for fear of reprisals, did not dare to testify in court, and finally mustered up the courage after the persuasion of the lawyer.
Listening to the words of the old policeman who had resigned and was in charge of the case back then, Lu Xifei clasped his fingers together and asked: "Women have always regarded chastity as the most precious thing, even if the fear is deep, it is unlikely that they will confuse the person who violated them, not to mention that Zhou Kai and Zhao Jingcai, the age difference is more than ten years, and there is no similarity in appearance." Didn't you doubt it back then? ”
"How can you not doubt it." The old policeman pushed the frame of his reading glasses and said, "But we can't get evidence, and the girl said that the suspect knocked her unconscious before he violated her, and the person who knocked her unconscious was Zhou Kai, and Zhao Jing was the one who kindly took care of her after she woke up." Moreover, Zhou Kai confessed to the girl's accusations, and with the testimony of eyewitnesses, it can be said that it is a sure thing. ”
"The girl is an adult, so Zhou Kai should have been sentenced to more than three years and less than ten years in prison, and now he has been released after completing his sentence?" Luci asked.
The old policeman shook his head: "I committed suicide." According to their teacher, this child has excellent character and high self-esteem. It should have been too stressful, and in the second year of imprisonment, he committed suicide. ”
Lu Xifei didn't say much, got up and thanked the old policeman, and left with Xu Wei.
In the car, Xu Wei asked Lu Xihua: "Professor Lu, is there anything suspicious about that case ten years ago?" ”
"Captain Xu, can you tell me in detail about Zhao Xiaomu that you have investigated before. Including her lifestyle habits, preferences, personality, and more. ”
"Just like the professor thought before, Zhao Xiaomu is a good girl in the teacher's heart, with excellent grades, respect for teachers, and is very popular. However, he is too obsessed with celebrities, as for what crush or favorite person, there are indeed many boys who like Zhao Xiaomu, but ......"
"Obsessed with celebrities." Luci interrupted him and said, "To what?" ”
"It is said that everyone in their class knows that she especially likes a Korean one, I really can't remember the name, the male star of a group, on the table, in the books, all of them are stickers of that male star, and her mother also said that almost all of this girl's room is full of star posters, CDs, albums or something, and everyone has to buy a collector's edition." Xu Wei said, "However, the people in Zhao Xiaomu's family are very opposed to her star-chasing behavior, once she secretly went to the signing meeting and asked for a signed photo, which almost made Mr. Zhao so angry that he had a heart attack, without the support of his family, celebrities are like a mirror, she is a little girl, and she can only occasionally collect posters to have a good time." ”
Lucy frowned slightly: "If you reach this kind of obsession with something, it can be regarded as a fatal weakness." Then he said to the young policeman in the driver's seat, "Stop." ”
Xu Wei didn't know her intentions, so he only heard her say to herself: "Captain Xu, please confirm the name of that male star." ”
Xu Wei patted the shoulder of the man in charge: "You young people are familiar with this, who is the male star that the little girl likes?" You remember. ”
"It's called Kim Jae-hyun, Viagra. Just the tall singer with yellow hair who has just become popular in recent years. ”
Lu Xifei took out his mobile phone, his fingers jumped lightly on the screen, and after about five minutes, Lu Xifei put his mobile phone aside and said to Xu Wei beside him: "Captain Xu, let's go to Zhou Kai's house." ”
Zhou Kai's family is not far from Lijia Village in Zhoujia Village, Zhou's family conditions are good, and the whole village can be regarded as an upper-middle level, Zhou Kai's mother died of depression in the second year after Zhou Kai's death, only Zhou Kai's father was left in the family, and his sister depended on each other, fortunately, her sister was very competitive, she was admitted to a prestigious university, got a scholarship every year, and was hired by a good company just after graduation.
The person who opened the door was a girl, presumably Zhou Kai's sister, as soon as she heard that they were policemen, the girl's pretty face immediately changed color and scolded. Xu Wei said that the girl let them in the door.
"My brother has been killed by you, what do you want! Isn't it bad enough for our family to be harmed by you? The girl said with tears in her eyes.
"Little girl, I understand your feelings about the loss of your family, but the law is unforgiving."
"Don't pretend to be a good person!"
"Hello!" A man on crutches, with thinning hair and a somewhat bald head, came out of the back room and scolded his little daughter, "Don't talk to the police like that, go back to the house and watch TV, don't stay here." ”
The girl listened to her father, didn't say anything more, wiped her tears and ran back into the house.
Zhou Guoqiang seemed to be very calm, and let them sit very casually, and then limped into the back room on crutches. He didn't pour tea for the few of them, but just sat in the center of the sofa, his face solemn, not at all afraid of the police.
"My son has been gone for so many years, and you still refuse to give us a peaceful day." With that, he closed his eyes and sighed.
"Uncle Zhou, we are here this time to ask about something, don't misunderstand." Xu Wei explained. No matter what kind of person Zhou Kai is, his parents are always not wrong. Looking at Zhou Guoqiang's appearance, he also knows that he has not had a good time these years, and he should always be in the pain of a white-haired person sending a black-haired person, "We want to know, do you know Zhao Xiaomu?" ”
Zhou Guoqiang just snorted coldly, and then shook his head expressionlessly.
"Can I go to your bedroom and have a look?" Luci asked, standing up.
Zhou Guoqiang glanced at him, then closed his eyes again, holding his cane in both hands: "If you have a search warrant, feel free." But if not, sorry, please leave my house immediately. ”
