Chapter 30: The Suspect Is Caught

At first, Li Youjie thought that Ling Xu was willing to be his assistant to help with the autopsy, just out of impulse, but he didn't expect that when the autopsy began, Ling Xu not only showed extremely professional techniques, but also showed very expert knowledge, and Li Youjie was amazed to see it.

Li Youjie and Ling Xu's autopsy had just ended, and the fire brigade's inquest had also yielded results, and just as Li Youjie was standing in place to fill out the autopsy report, the fire brigade handed their fire inquest report to Ling Xu.

After seeing the contents of the fire investigation report, Ling Xu nodded and thanked the three of them, and then Ling Xu sent the three people from the fire brigade to the car.

As soon as the fire brigade left, Li Youjie handed the form in his hand to Ling Xu, and when Ling Xu opened the form to watch, He Siwen also leaned his head over.

When He Siwen saw the contents of the report clearly, a trace of disbelief flashed on his face, and he carefully looked at the autopsy report given by Li Youjie, He Siwen took the report of the fire brigade and watched it with an impatient face, and after reading it, a sluggish and lonely expression rose on his face.

It turned out that the fire investigation report given by the fire brigade was written like this: After the investigation by the fire brigade, the fire was caused by the overheating of the electric blanket line under the deceased.

Before his death, the deceased turned on the electric blanket to a high-gear position, so that the current was always in a high-speed heating state, and the long-term high-speed heating made the line in the electric blanket reach the ignition point.

The line at a high heat level burned the plastic sheet wrapped outside, and came into contact with the silk thread on the electric blanket, causing an open flame under the blessing of high temperature, resulting in the occurrence of this fire.

Finally, the fire brigade gave an authoritative appraisal result for the fire, and the fire was caused by the victim's improper use of the electric blanket, and did not have the conditions for intentional arson by others, so the victim was fully responsible for the accident.

The forensic appraisal report given by Li Youjie is written like this, the body spots of the deceased cannot be identified, the muscle surface symptoms are not visible, the deceased has no external injuries, no other injuries, no suffocation symptoms, no traces of struggle, blood clotting, putrid wounds, and severe burns all over the body.

Based on the symptoms of the deceased's mouth, nose, throat and other parts, and the fact that the deceased's body had been burned by a raging fire, and based on the current state of the corpse and some of its functional reactions, it is now preliminarily determined that the victim had died of natural causes before the fire broke out.

After reading these two reports, He Siwen's face was blue and purple for a while, and he was stunned in place, looking at the report in his hand stupidly.

At this time, Ling Xu patted him on the shoulder: "It seems that this case should be redefined, I think it is a bit inappropriate to define this case as "murder and arson" before." The suspect just stole something, didn't kill anyone, didn't set it on fire.

If we find the suspect according to the charge of murder and arson, at that time, the other party is likely to be sentenced to death by the court, in this case, we are tantamount to creating an unjust, false and wrongful case and killing a human life. ”

"This ...... This one...... Alas......"

He Siwen hesitated for a while, then lowered his head in frustration, returned the report in his hand to Ling Xu, and nodded: "Do as you say, I'll ...... That's how to call those people back. ”

After speaking, He Siwen didn't hesitate, took out the phone and dialed a few numbers, and called back the waves of people sent out before, and after that, he quietly followed Ling Xu, not interfering in the investigation of this case......

After about an hour, Du Zhou rushed back to the scene in a hurry, as soon as he saw Ling Xu, he couldn't wait to report, Du Zhou visited and investigated, according to the clues reflected by the surrounding people, he found that there were two people's conditions, in line with the characteristics described by Ling Xu before.

The first person is Bai Pengju, a 42-year-old resident of Baijia Village, divorced, with a son who is in middle school.

However, Bai Pengju likes to gamble, because his salary cannot maintain his gambling expenses, so he colluded with several outsiders to steal cables from the substation, and was caught selling stolen goods and sentenced to two and a half years in prison.

The second person is named Hou Zhiwen, a resident of Houzhuang Village next door, 41 years old this year, and now runs a home appliance repair shop.

It is reported that the business in Hou Shiwen's store is not very good recently, he seems to be in a hurry to use the money, and recently he is throwing off the household appliances in the store, many brand-name household appliances, are sold at ultra-low prices, this person has a lot of strength, when sending household appliances to customers, one person can carry a refrigerator.

After listening, Ling Xu asked, "Do these two have a motor vehicle at home?" ”

"Both." After recalling a little, Du Zhou told Ling Xu: "I heard from the residents of the village that Bai Pengju has a four-wheeled agricultural vehicle at home. There are two cars in Hou Zhiwen's store, a Wuling Light van for propaganda and a single-row truck for delivery. ”

"Have you seen anything unusual with these two in the last few days?"

After Ling Xu's words fell, Du Zhou's face showed a trace of embarrassment: "I'm sorry, this issue hasn't been verified yet, Bai Pengju has been pulling bricks for people in the brick kiln factory five miles away in the past few days, and he hasn't been home much in the past two days, so I haven't learned about his recent whereabouts yet."

As for Hou Zhiwen, because he runs a shop next to the street in the town, and he is not from Baijia Village, so I didn't inquire about him, I was going to go to the town and Houzhuang Village, but because the police car had just been driven away by Lao Pang, I hadn't left yet. ”

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Ling Xu's face, Hou Zhuang and the town don't need to go, you directly take someone to the brick kiln factory and find that Bai Pengju, if I guess correctly, the person who stole those household appliances from Bai Yuanchao's house is Bai Pengju from this village.

After Ling Xu finished giving the order, Du Zhou was slightly stunned, and then left with a few members of the criminal police team.

Hearing that Ling Xu had locked up the suspect of stealing household appliances, He Siwen was a little incredulous, although he didn't believe it in his heart, but thinking of what happened before, he didn't question it, but chose to observe patiently.

At noon, Du Zhou and several people escorted a dirty strong man to the scene, and after the whispers of the villagers, Ling Xu confirmed the identity of the strong man, this person was Bai Pengju of Baijia Village.

When getting out of the car, Bai Pengju was very dissatisfied with the actions of the criminal police team members, and struggled with anger on his expression, trying to get rid of the constraints of the criminal police team members, but when Du Zhou and others escorted Bai Pengju to the fire scene and made him see the ruins that were burned by the fire, Bai Pengju's face suddenly flashed a trace of panic.

"Is there anything you want to say about this ruin?"

"What do you mean?"

"Is it fun to pretend to be stupid?"

"I'm not pretending to be stupid, it's on fire here, what are you arresting me for? I didn't set this fire. ”

"Looks like you don't want to confess and be lenient."

"Confession and leniency? What am I confessing? I really didn't set this fire, I've been living in the factory for the past few days, if you don't believe it, you can ask, and the workers in the dormitory can testify to me. ”

Seeing that Bai Pengju had been avoiding the serious, Ling Xu's eyes rolled, and then he said with a cold expression: "Bai Pengju, I wanted to give you a chance to confess and be lenient, but unfortunately you are unrepentant and actually intend to resist stubbornly, since this is the case, then there is no need for us to be polite to you."

According to the mass police, Baijia Village resident Bai Yuanchao's home burst into flames, Bai Yuanchao was burned to death in the fire, through the investigation, Bai Yuanchao's home has some household appliances stolen, our police deduced, the theft in this case is suspected of arson and murder.

Bai Pengju, if we investigate and find that the stolen items in Bai Yuanchao's house were stolen by you, then your crime will be great, theft, arson, causing death, and it is estimated that the death penalty is safe. ”

When He Siwen, Du Zhou and the others heard Ling Xu's words, they couldn't help but look at each other, they couldn't understand, just now Ling Xu said that he wanted to "investigate two cases in one case", why did he change his mind after such a while? However, seeing Ling Xu's tricky appearance, everyone vaguely guessed something.

Originally, Bai Pengju wanted to quibble about something, but after hearing Ling Xu's words, he was suddenly dumbfounded, and his expression was anxious to explain something, but he didn't dare to speak when he saw the pile of mansions that were burned to ruins not far away.

Ling Xu didn't urge, seeing that Bai Pengju had been arrested and brought to justice, he asked He Siwen to close the team, leaving a few people to clean up the aftermath from the scene, he ordered Du Zhou: "The person has been caught, this case does not need to be investigated, escort him to the city prison and detain him, it is estimated that he will not survive this time." ”

"No...... No...... I don't want to die...... I was wronged...... I didn't kill anyone......" Ling Xu's careless words instantly shattered Bai Pengju's luck psychology, and the moment Du Zhou escorted him to the car, he completely collapsed.

After seeing this scene, Ling Xu was sure in his heart, and ordered everyone to get in the car and go to the county bureau, and then, except for the three criminal police members who left behind to deal with the aftermath, the rest of the people all got into the car and headed in the direction of the county public security bureau.

In the interrogation room of the criminal police team of the county bureau, Bai Pengju sat on the interrogation chair and explained how he sneaked into Bai Yuanchao's house to steal household appliances.

Bai Pengju's reason for committing this crime is very simple, that is, to get some money, his son is going to high school recently, but unfortunately the score is not ideal, and later his son's homeroom teacher told him that as long as he is willing to spend money to buy points, his son can still be promoted to high school.

After asking, it takes about 10,000 yuan to buy points, which is no less than an astronomical amount for Bai Pengju, who has not been working, and he knows that his relatives and friends will not lend him money.

In order not to delay his son's studies, Bai Pengju found a job in the brick kiln factory, pulling bricks and delivering bricks to people, although he worked overtime alone every day in the hope of earning more money, but even so, it was far from the amount of 10,000 yuan.

Seeing that the head teacher was urging tightly, worried that he would miss his son's future, Bai Pengju gritted his teeth and decided to take a desperate risk to steal some money to solve the urgent need.
