Volume II The Burned Axe Chapter 1
Ning Zhiyuan came to Deputy Director Ye's office and knocked lightly on the door, "Please come in!" Ye Yimin's voice came from inside. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Ning Zhiyuan pushed the door in response, "Ye Ju ......" "Oh, it's Zhiyuan, I'm looking for you." Ye Yimin put down the pen in his hand and took out a letter from the drawer, "Look at this." ”
This is an anonymous report letter, and the content of the letter is roughly that a fire broke out in a house in Dawang Village in the suburban county on the evening of October 4. The lady of the house was burned to death in the house, and the man survived because he went out and did not return. After conducting an on-site investigation, the local fire department ruled out the possibility of arson, believing that the fire was caused by aging wires, and the hostess was killed because she did not flee in time. The public security bureau of the jurisdiction also agreed with the conclusion of the fire department. However, the whistleblower believed that the fire was premeditated, and the purpose was to kill the hostess, and the murderer was the hostess's husband.
After reading it, Ning Zhiyuan stuffed the letter back into the envelope and handed it back to Ye Yimin. Ye Yimin put the letter on his desk, "Tell me, what do you think about this matter?" Ning Zhiyuan thought for a while and said, "Since the whistleblower is so sure that the deceased's husband was the murderer of arson, why didn't he report the case directly to the local public security organ?" ”
"I called and asked, the sub-bureau is preparing to close the case with a fire, and it is estimated that the whistleblower thinks that since the sub-bureau has made a conclusion, it will be difficult to overturn it, so he sent the report letter directly to us." Ye Yimin paced back and forth in the room for a few steps, thought for a moment, turned to Ning Zhiyuan and said, "Since we have received the report letter, we can't ignore it. I think in this case, this matter will be handed over to your second team, and you can take someone to Dawang Village for a run. ”
"Ye Bureau, this fire has been going on for several days, what else can I find out if I go to check it at this time?" Ning Zhiyuan said with some embarrassment. "Good check, do you still need to go away?" Ye Yimin waved his hand, "You should know how bad the nature of arson murder is, killing people by arson not only threatens the personal safety of the victim, but also endangers social and public safety, which is a very serious criminal offense." Is this what we should do as police officers to close the case hastily if we don't investigate it clearly? ”
Ning Zhiyuan nodded vigorously and said, "Okay, Ye Ju, I'll go now." However, whether it is arson or not has to be found out first. "That's what I said," Ye Yimin smiled with satisfaction, "I'll contact the sub-bureau when I go back and let them fully cooperate." After the contact, send the name and phone number of the contact person to your mobile phone. ”
"Thank you, Ye Bureau, then I'll go." Ning Zhiyuan was just about to leave when he was stopped by Ye Yimin, "Hey, Zhiyuan, what's the matter with you coming to me, right?" "I almost forgot," Ning Zhiyuan turned around and said, "Ye Ju, I want to ask about the serial case of the red dress a few years ago." ”
"That's the case. Alas......" Ye Yimin sighed, "I have been a criminal policeman for nearly thirty years, and that is a thorn in my heart." How did you remember to ask this? "Oh, that's right," Ning Zhiyuan said, "When investigating Li Qingqing's case, a red dress was found at the scene, and Li Qingqing was also fatal because of being cut in the carotid artery. ”
"It stands to reason that the murderer has succeeded in committing three crimes in a row, and he shouldn't stop there, but he hasn't appeared again over the years, I don't think it's normal." Ye Yimin shook his head, his eyebrows revealing heaviness, "I often think about this, but I don't have a clue for the time being." ”
"It is indeed not in line with the psychology of criminals not to commit crimes after they succeed, there must be some reason why the murderer cannot move freely as before." Ning Zhiyuan pondered, "Seriously ill, disabled, or simply dead?" ”
"These possibilities cannot be ruled out." Ye Yimin agreed with Ning Zhiyuan's inference, "That's it, Zhiyuan, you go to investigate the case in Dawang Village first, and when we have time, we will take care of the serial case." "Yes, Ye Bureau." Ye Yimin's attitude towards the serial case made Ning Zhiyuan's heart lift, and with the support of this deputy director, it greatly increased the possibility of re-filing and investigating the serial case.
Ning Zhiyuan returned to the office of the second criminal police team, and Song Ming greeted him, "How is it?" What did the leaf bureau say? "The Ye Bureau is also obsessed with the serial case, but I got a job as soon as I went, and that case can only be talked about later." Ning Zhiyuan shrugged helplessly.
"What job? Another case? As soon as Chen Feng heard that there was a case, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he came over to ask. It's only been two days, and the case came just after the holiday, and it seems that this criminal is also on time to go to work! Wu Litao teased.
"There is a family in Dawang Village in the suburban county that has set fire to death, and the Ye Bureau asked us to see if it was a fire or arson to kill people." Ning Zhiyuan said, "Xiao Wu and Jiang Xue are at home, and the four of us will go on a trip." We'll talk about the details on the road. ”
Dawang Village is about an hour's drive from the Public Security Bureau of D. On the way, Ning Zhiyuan explained the fire and the anonymous report letter to the other three people. Ye Yimin sent a message saying that the sub-bureau had arranged for the relevant personnel in charge of the case to wait for them in Dawang Village, and they could go directly to the village committee after arriving.
Chen Feng drove to Dawang Village according to the guidance of the navigation. It is a fishing village surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the people of the village used to make a living mainly by fishing. In recent years, at the call of the government, some villagers have used the mountain forest land to develop orchards, and these families with both fishing boats and orchards have become the first people in the village to get rich.
As soon as the car arrived at the entrance of the village, I saw a police van parked on the side of the road, next to two men in police uniforms chatting with a villager in his 50s. Ning Zhiyuan and the four of them got out of the car, and the three people at the entrance of the village hurriedly greeted them, and one of them, a middle-aged man in a police uniform, stretched out his right hand to Ning Zhiyuan, "Zhiyuan, it's really you!" "Brother Yu, hello!" Ning Zhiyuan shook hands with the middle-aged policeman, then turned his head to Song Ming and the others and said, "This is my classmate Yu Zhi when I was studying the year before last. The three of them shook hands with Yu Zhi separately.
"Come, Zhou Xin, let me introduce you," Yu Zhi said to the policeman who was traveling with him, "This is Ning Zhiyuan, the captain of the second team of the criminal police of the Municipal Bureau." "Hello Team Ning!" Zhou Xin warmly shook Ning Zhiyuan's hand, "I often hear our team mention you, saying that you have solved a lot of big cases, and this time I finally have the opportunity to learn from you." ”
"Don't say that." Ning Zhiyuan smiled modestly, "I have to trouble you to introduce the case first." "A few police officers, why don't we go to the village committee first?" The man who was waiting at the entrance of the village with Yu Zhi and Zhou Xin came over and asked.
"Oh, I was so happy to see you patronizing, I forgot to introduce, this is Wang Jiafu, the village chief of Dawang Village." Ning Zhiyuan nodded to Wang Jiafu as a greeting, and said to Zhi: "The village committee won't go first, let's go directly to the scene." ”
"Okay, let's talk as we go." Yu Zhi stretched out his hand and made a 'please' gesture, "The deceased Liu Xiangmei was twenty-seven years old and married to Dawang Village five years ago. He slept at home that night, and was burned alive because he did not flee the scene in time after the fire broke out. "How can you be sure that he was burned alive?" Ning Zhiyuan asked Yu Zhi.
"When the forensic doctor conducted an autopsy, he found that there was inhaled soot in the deceased's trachea," Yu Zhi said firmly, "and it was inferred that Liu Xiangmei was alive at the time of the fire, and the cause of death was suffocation from the fire." Ning Zhiyuan nodded, "That's true." Did the body have any symptoms of trauma or poisoning? ”
"There are no symptoms of poisoning. As for the external injuries," Yu Zhi paused and said, "The deceased's skull was fractured, but the forensic doctor concluded that after the house burned down, the roof collapsed debris was smashed, and when we arrived at the scene, we also saw falling stones on the deceased's head." ”
"Is the body still there?" Ning Zhiyuan questioned the fact that the deceased's skull was fractured due to falling stones, and felt that it was necessary to find out the specific cause of the fracture. "In the forensic office of our substation, because the case has not been finally closed, the family has not yet been allowed to take it away for cremation." Yu Zhi raised his hand and pointed forward, "That's the scene of the fire." ”
Ning Zhiyuan took a closer look, the scene was a mess, there were charred rubble everywhere, the house was almost indistinguishable from its original shape, only a half-collapsed frame and some ruins stood there. "It's a big fire." Song Ming asked Yu Zhi with a sigh of relief, "Team Yu, where is the fire?" ”
"It should be in the bedroom," Yu Zhi pointed to a piece of wreckage at the east end, "The conclusion given by the fire department is that the fire was caused by an aging and short circuit in the wires, and the electric gate of the entire house is in the bedroom." "This is the old house of Wang Qing's family, and it has been a lot of years, and this wire must be aging." Wang Jiafu, the village head, continued. "By the way, when the fire broke out, it was the village chief Wang who reported the police and organized the villagers to put out the fire." Yu Zhichong Wang Jiafu gestured, "Village Chief Wang, you can introduce the situation at that time." ”
"Okay, then I'll talk about it." Wang Jiafu nodded in response, "I was sleeping at home that night, and I heard someone outside shouting 'it's on fire', so I put on my clothes and ran out. When I came out, I saw that the fire had already reached the roof. I hurriedly called the police, and called Wang Qing again, Wang Qing rushed back and wanted to rush into the fire, thanks to the two pillars to hug it, otherwise it might be another life. The fire was so big that the house was almost burned down when the fire brigade came. Fortunately, Wang Qing's yard is large, and there is a wall separating it, otherwise the neighbors will suffer. ”
"Where is this Wang Qing now?" Ning Zhiyuan asked. "Wang Qing was injured when fighting the fire, and he is still hospitalized in the county hospital." Zhou Xin said, "In addition, his wife was burned to death, he was a little stimulated, and his mood has been unstable." ”
"Let's go, go in and have a look." Ning Zhiyuan said and walked towards the rubble. Song Ming beckoned to Wang Jiafu, "Village Chief Wang, who discovered the fire first?" "It's Wang Youfa," Wang Jiafu said, pointing to a courtyard opposite, "his house is on the opposite door, and he was the first to find out about Wang Qing's house." "Can you find Wang Youfa?" Song Ming thought for a moment and added, "By the way, get us a few shovels and other tools." "Cheng, I'll go." Wang Jiafu replied while trotting towards the opposite yard.
