Chapter Eighty-Six: The Fox's Tail
After all, they are all subjective things, and there is no objective evidence, which is not enough to prove anything, but for Dai Xu, it is also very valuable, at least it can confirm some of his speculations and inferences from the side.
At the same time, the whereabouts of Miao Qiulian, who Tang Hongye had been paying attention to, after leaving the KTV where she went to work on the night of the crime, were also sorted out, and there was a clear answer. After Tang Hongye got this result, he immediately brought it to communicate with Dai Xu and a few others to determine the next move.
"We have some evidence now, but it's not complete and coherent enough," Tang Hongye scratched the back of his head with some worry, "There are also some indirect discoveries, and the conclusion is that we deduce it ourselves, such as the source of the sedative, which is not direct evidence." Now it's all here, but it's just a kick in the door, there are no witnesses, no surveillance records, no valid fingerprints and footprints or DNA information to explain the problem, it's a bit uncomfortable to be stuck here! ”
"That's actually not right, there is no opportunity, we can create opportunities, there is no evidence, we can wait for others to take the initiative to send the evidence to us." Dai Xu thought for a while, and seemed to have an idea, and his whole expression became a lot more relaxed, not as serious and low as before, "We all know that sometimes in order to round a lie, you need to tell thousands of lies to fill the loopholes in your statement, but it is not easy to tell a lie." Not to mention the many lies? ”
"Oh! I understand! Fang Yuan immediately understood what Dai Xu meant, "So we don't need to waste any more time collecting evidence and finding more things that can prove lies or expose the truth." What we need to do is to create an opportunity for this person to point out a flaw and let him lie himself, as long as he uses a lie to cover up the loophole of the previous lie, we will continue to find new loopholes, just like a game of whack-a-mole, targeting. Chasing and fighting, in order to cover up what he has done, the other party will definitely find ways to justify himself. This will reveal more flaws, and there will always be one key clue that we need! ”
"There's nothing wrong with that, the problem is that we can't prove that he did it. How do you bring people? Tonic listened in silence for a long time. Finally, he nodded, and after careful consideration, he expressed his worries, "If you can't go in the direction you planned, how will you step down in the end?" ”
"Yes, can you get off the stage or second, the main thing is that you won't startle the snake, right?" Tang Hongye asked.
"No," Dai Xu shook his head very firmly. "Ten thousand steps back, we also have a very crucial hole card. There are no major crimes, there are small crimes, and when it comes to theft, it is a leather bag, a bracelet and necklace and other brand-name ornaments, and after the valuation, the amount is enough to convict, so don't worry. ”
Hearing him say this, Tang Hongye and Tang Li both breathed a sigh of relief, and the four of them carefully discussed the next actions and countermeasures, and after clarifying the division of labor, they each set off to find someone.
Because it was agreed in advance, there was also communication in private along the way, and the plan went very smoothly, Dai Xu and Fang Yuan came to the small hotel in the suburbs familiarly, found Jiang Hongliang who was sleeping with his head covered in the room, called him up, and asked him to follow them back to the Public Security Bureau to learn more about the situation, Jiang Hongliang was a little sleepy-eyed, and felt dazed, and when he completely woke up, he was a little panicked.
"What do you mean? Officer Dai? Are you planning to settle the account with me for stealing? As soon as he completely woke up from the fog, he immediately changed into a bitter melon face, and asked pitifully while putting on his coat.
Dai Xu smiled at him and patted Jiang Hongliang on the shoulder: "Don't be nervous, you'll know when you go." ”
Having said that, Jiang Hongliang is not good, so he had to put on his clothes and follow Dai Xu and Fang Yuan to the Public Security Bureau, and when they arrived at the courtyard of the Public Security Bureau, they just got off the car here, and a car was parked in the parking space not far away, and three people got out of the car, led by Tang Li and Tang Hongye, followed by Miao Qiulian, and the three of them also saw Dai Xu and Fang Yuan when they got out of the car, nodded to each other, and said hello.
However, after Miao Qiulian and Jiang Hongliang saw each other, they were obviously stunned and looked very stunned.
"Why were you called here too? I thought I was just calling myself! When Miao Qiulian saw Jiang Hongliang, she said in surprise, and she didn't shy away from the presence of others, and asked, "What is the reason why you didn't say it?" ”
Jiang Hongliang's eyes flickered, and he shook his head: "I didn't say it, I don't know." ”
"Oh, what do you love, let's go, where are we going?" Miao Qiulian stepped forward to save Jiang Hongliang.
Tang Hongye stopped her action in time: "You don't have to pull him, you go with us." ”
"Huh? What does that mean? Why do we have to separate? As soon as Miao Qiulian heard that she and Jiang Hongliang were going to act separately, she immediately panicked a little, and looked at Jiang Hongliang nervously, "What are you going to do?" ”
"Forget it, don't ask so much, you're here, and you'll have to cooperate!" Jiang Hongliang said on the side.
Miao Qiulian pursed her lips, with a reluctant face, but she didn't say anything to ask, followed Tang Hongye and Tang Li to go first, Dai Xu was still slowly taking the things in the car, Jiang Hongliang had to stand next to him and wait, his eyes kept chasing Miao Qiulian until Miao Qiulian's back disappeared at the door of the building.
When the three of them also went upstairs and returned to the criminal police team, Tang Hongye and Tang Li had already taken Miao Qiulian for questioning, Dai Xu and Fang Yuan took Jiang Hongliang to the door of the interrogation room, Jiang Hongliang stopped, grabbed Dai Xu and asked, "Officer Dai, Brother Dai!" Can my previous performances be regarded as my surrender? I'm dirty! ”
"Let's talk about this later, let's go talk about something else first." Dai Xu put his hand on Jiang Hongliang's shoulder, half-pushed him, pushed him into the interrogation room first, and he and Fang Yuan followed him and walked in. Close the door.
Jiang Hongliang sat down dejectedly, looking at Dai Xu and Fang Yuan a little nervously, waiting for them to speak.
"I remember you said it before. Miao Qiulian had a very unpleasant thing with the female roommate you lived with before, so you moved out, right? Dai Xu asked Jiang Hongliang.
Jiang Hongliang was stunned for a moment, then nodded busily and said, "Ah, yes, isn't this Xiaolian in the final analysis." He is small-minded, very jealous, and has a quick temper. Before she could do anything, she blew up first, but fortunately, ordinary people couldn't get her, so she moved if it was a big deal. I had a quarrel with the little girl who rented a house together. Xiaolian didn't suffer any losses anyway. ”
"Then I moved to a new home. What about after living with Zhao Yinghua? Has there been a change? Fang Yuan asked.
Jiang Hongliang didn't answer this question immediately, but looked at Dai Xu and Fang Yuan carefully, and then asked them tentatively: "Why are you asking this?" Did you hear something? ”
"What we know, that's our business, it's your business if you say it or not." Dai Xu ignored Jiang Hongliang's rhetorical question, still waiting for him to speak.
Jiang Hongliang hesitated, rolled his eyes, and then nodded. "Well, since it's all over the place," he said. Then I won't hide it, I was afraid of causing trouble for Xiaolian before, and I didn't dare to say it, but now I don't say it, I'm afraid I won't be able to say it clearly. Xiaolian did mind Zhao Yinghua before, and she didn't like her at all. ”
"Why do you mind Zhao Yinghua? Is it the same reason as before? ”
"Almost, didn't I say it just now, Xiaolian is okay with everything, but her suspicion is too serious, she asked me before, asked me how I felt about Zhao Yinghua, I said I didn't feel it, she still didn't believe it, she was energetic, and then I didn't bother to explain so much to her, no matter how much I said, it was useless, I couldn't listen to it." Jiang Hongliang replied.
Fang Yuan looked at Jiang Hongliang: "You didn't say that before, did you?" I remember you said that you praised Zhao Yinghua for being beautiful or something in front of Miao Qiulian, isn't Miao Qiulian quite dissatisfied with this matter? ”
"Oh, that's what you say! Be! That's the thing! As soon as Jiang Hongliang heard this, he immediately changed his words, "But that's what I said, deliberately making Miao Qiulian angry, Zhao Yinghua is not my cup of tea at all, just her cold temper, no matter how good-looking she looks, what can she do?" What's more, she can't be a star, right? ”
"So what you mean is that there is no love between you and Zhao Yinghua at all, but Miao Qiulian has been chasing the wind and eating dry vinegar, and she can't get along with Zhao Yinghua for this reason, right?" Fang Yuan summed up his words for Jiang Hongliang.
Jiang Hongliang smiled embarrassedly: "What do you want me to say?" Xiaolian is also my girlfriend after all, and I say too much as if I am telling you that my girlfriend is not kind to Zhao Yinghua! ”
Miao Qiulian did not work the night shift at KTV on the night of Zhao Yinghua's murder, and once left for a few hours halfway and did not know where she went. Do you know about this? Dai Xu asked.
Jiang Hongliang was a little surprised when he heard this, but his surprise did not remain on his face for a long time, and he quickly shook his head: "Oh, I really don't know about this, and she didn't tell me about skipping work later!" Didn't I tell you, I drank beer at about ten o'clock that night and fell asleep. ”
"So in other words, if Miao Qiulian had returned home during this period, you wouldn't know about it either?"
"That's for sure, I slept so much that night that I didn't know who I was, and I didn't know if someone else took me away and sold me, didn't you see me the next day, and I didn't wake up at that time." Jiang Hong nodded with a helpless face, and his mouth also answered extremely firmly, without a trace of hesitation.
The corners of Dai Xu's lips were more suspiciously faintly smiling, he didn't speak in a hurry, he was silent for a while, and then asked Jiang Hongliang again: "You dare to guarantee the ticket, do you have absolutely no special relationship with Zhao Yinghua?" ”
"Then what's not to dare, I'm a person with a girlfriend! Xiaolian is so good to me, I can't be sorry for her! Jiang Hongliang patted his chest and said, but he didn't swear to the sky and cursed the earth.
Dai Xu nodded, and began to look down and flip the notepad in his hand at will, the paper made a slight rattling sound, Jiang Hongliang naturally couldn't see what was written in the notebook, so he could only watch with his eyes. There was a bit of apprehension in his expression, and after a while, he saw that Dai Xu had not yet opened his mouth to continue to ask what he meant. He was a little breathless, and took the initiative to ask: "Two, don't we talk about me helping that kid steal things?" ”
"I didn't see it, but your consciousness is quite high, so brave to take responsibility." When Dai Xu heard him ask, he smiled, and it happened that someone came knocking on the door. I put aside the rest of the words for the time being, got up and walked over to open the door.
Jiang Hongliang's eyes also followed Dai Xu closely, watching him open the door. Standing outside the door was Tang Hongye, Tang Hongye looked into the room, glanced at Jiang Hongliang deliberately, and then approached Dai Xu's ear. whispered to him. The expression looked serious, and after finishing speaking, he glanced at Jiang Hongliang again.
Fang Yuan had been sitting in place during this process, quietly paying attention to Jiang Hongliang, Jiang Hongliang's restless reaction to Tang Hongye's meaningful glance did not escape her sight.
After Tang Hongye finished talking to Dai Xu, he left, Dai Xu closed the door, returned to his seat, and looked at Jiang Hongliang silently without saying a word. Jiang Hongliang was already a little uneasy, and now he is even more unsteady.
"Officer Dai. What's wrong with this? Why don't you speak? You look at me like that, I panic. Jiang Hongliang forced out a smile, and said to Dai Xu with a smiling face, "If you have something to say, you can say it." ”
"Are you sure you want me to say it? Or are you planning to take advantage of the opportunity yourself? Dai Xu asked.
"Did Miao Qiulian say something about me?" Although the expression on Jiang Hongliang's face has not changed, his eyes are a little different, and he subconsciously turned Xiaolian into Miao Qiulian, and he didn't realize it.
"Almost, it's mainly about you and Zhao Yinghua." Dai Xu nodded, ambiguously admitting.
"I didn't ...... Actually...... It's not ......" Jiang Hongliang's face turned slightly pale, and he stammered and wanted to deny it, but his eyes rolled and he changed his mind again, "Alas, I don't hide it anymore, yes, Zhao Yinghua and I have a little bit of meaning, but it's just a little bit interesting, the kind you like me, I know that she must have discovered something, pretending to be like she didn't know anything in front of me on the surface, I didn't expect to hold such a grudge behind my back, she didn't want to take revenge on Zhao Yinghua, right?" ”
"What do you mean by that?" Fang Yuan looked puzzled and asked with a frown.
Jiang Hongliang was silent for a moment, sighed heavily, and said in a very painful-sounding tone: "I really didn't want to guess in this regard, after all, it was my girlfriend, and no one wanted their boyfriend and girlfriend to do anything unreasonably bad, don't you say?" So from beginning to end, no matter how suspicious I felt in my heart, I didn't mention it to you, it's not right, I understand, but I'm soft-hearted, and I can't bear to kill my girlfriend and talk about any suspicion. But what does she mean now? The matter between me and Zhao Yinghua, she can break up with me if she is unhappy, she can scold me and beat me, but there is no need to do it so desperately, and then forget about me and splash dirty water on my body, right? I feel like I'm so stupid now. ”
"Then tell me about your analysis." Dai Xu patiently motioned to Jiang Hongliang to make it clear.
Jiang Hongliang took a deep breath and looked like he was worried about it: "It's my judgment." When you asked us to pack up our things and go out to live, I found out that the fruit knife in the house was gone, I was going to take it, but I couldn't find it, Miao Qiulian didn't let me find it, I had to say a broken knife, and I would buy it again if it was gone. You say that normal people, how can there be something that you don't want to look for if you lose it! Right? She also had red paint on her shoes, and lied to me that she was going to Zhao Yinghua's house to see the situation, and accidentally stepped on it. Besides, didn't you say it, she skipped work that night, so she must have skipped work and came home, stabbed Zhao Yinghua to death, and pretended to just find out the next day, and now she can't hide and wants to frame me! ”
"It's not unreasonable for you to say that," Dai Xu nodded, and when Jiang Hongliang breathed a sigh of relief, the conversation changed, "But then how do you explain the fact that you have [River Crab] sleeping pills in your body?" Didn't you drink beer at about ten o'clock at night? Then you fell asleep, so who put a sedative in the wine? Could it be that Miao Qiulian has other accomplices? ”
Jiang Hongliang was dumbfounded, he was a little speechless for a while, and hesitated for a few seconds before saying: "Then, then I don't know, who knows if someone deliberately tricked me!" Maybe I'm awake and in the way, so don't turn me over. How does Zhao Yinghua do things with other men? Maybe it's two different things, someone thinks I'm in the way and drugs me. After doing things with Zhao Yinghua and the others, he left after finishing his errands, and after leaving, Miao Qiulian ran back and stabbed Zhao Yinghua to death with a fruit knife, what's so strange about this? ”
"You know it quite specifically, as if you've seen it with your own eyes." Fang Yuan said to him with a sneer.
Jiang Hongliang stopped for a moment, looked at Fang Yuan and Dai Xu vigilantly, and didn't continue to speak.
"You'd better be honest. How long are you going to quibble? Don't you feel like your horse's feet are exposed? Dai Xu sighed, now, there is no need to continue to go around in circles with Jiang Hongliang. You didn't go to the scene from beginning to end that day, how do you know if Zhao Yinghua was stabbed to death with a knife, and it was still a fruit knife? How do you know that Zhao Yinghua had a relationship with someone before he was killed? If you really go to bed around ten o'clock, it's impossible to know what will happen after that. Oh. That's right. There is one thing that you may not understand, but I can help you popularize science, you drank a total of two beers that night, right? If you drink two cans of beer at about 10 o'clock and someone puts a sedative in it, then when we go out to the scene the next morning and take you back to the bureau for blood testing, the alcohol concentration and sedative residue in your body will not be the result, according to the exact and the rate of metabolism of the sedative in the human body. According to you, someone must have given you a sedative. A very large dose is sufficient. ”
"But we didn't find any beer cans with sedative residues, and the total number of beer cans is also correct, but there are two cans with your fingerprints, so there is a very reasonable explanation." Dai Xu paused and looked at Jiang Hongliang's face that gradually turned blue-gray, "You took advantage of the chaos to steal a can of beer, in order to use the [River Crab] sleeping pills stolen from your poker friend's neighbor's house, to permanently take the pills after the killing, to create alibi evidence for yourself, and try to fool yourself around." Oh, by the way, there is one more thing I can tell you, Miao Qiulian did skip work on the night Zhao Yinghua was killed, and left KTV around midnight until dawn, but after our verification, she went to a nearby Internet café after skipping work. Miao Qiulian didn't say anything to our colleagues about doubting you, if it weren't for your own weak heart, anxious to avoid the serious, and blame the blame, and throw the suspicion to Miao Qiulian to carry for you, you wouldn't have hastily made up the story and exposed so many flaws. Jiang Hongliang, do you have anything to say so far? ”
Jiang Hongliang's face was no longer bloody, he was trembling as if he was swinging, and the whole person was slumped on the chair, as if it was a mess of mud.
"I ...... I say...... I said...... "Now, he has been exposed layer by layer, and there is nowhere to escape, except to recruit from the truth, there is no other choice, especially at such a juncture, the last line of defense in his heart has collapsed, and the only way to go is to honestly confess the crime."
It turned out that Jiang Hongliang had always had a lingering mind for stealing, and he rented a house with others before, just because he spoke frivolously, which angered the female roommate, and the female roommate looked for Miao Qiulian, and Miao Qiulian protected her shortcomings, but thought that the female roommate was not pure in her mind about Jiang Hongliang, and the two sides had a conflict, and they had to move out afterwards, so they met Zhao Yinghua. After living in a rented house together for a period of time, Jiang Hongliang sprouted his old ways, and began to covet Zhao Yinghua's appearance again, plus Miao Qiulian often went back and forth between the day shift and the night shift, and the house they rented was simple and the environment was remote, which created an opportunity for Jiang Hongliang.
So in the night ten days before the crime, Miao Qiulian was originally at home, but was later temporarily called to work a night shift for a colleague who was in a hurry, Jiang Hongliang woke up in the middle of the night, and suddenly had an impulse, so he pried open Zhao Yinghua's door and pounced on Zhao Yinghua in his sleep.
After Zhao Yinghua woke up, she also tried to resist Jiang Hongliang's violence at first, but when she found that Miao Qiulian was not at home, and she struggled to fight Jiang Hongliang, who was stronger than herself, no one would hear her call for help, so in order to protect herself, she chose to compromise and endured all Jiang Hongliang's actions half-pushed.
But this is not Zhao Yinghua's voluntariness after all, therefore. After Jiang Hongliang was satisfied, Zhao Yinghua said that he would call the police. Jiang Hongliang was scared and begged Zhao Yinghua for mercy. said that as long as he didn't call the police and was willing to go private, Zhao Yinghua could accept any conditions he put forward and could discuss. After Zhao Yinghua thought about it, he offered Jiang Hongliang a price of 100,000 yuan as spiritual compensation, although Jiang Hongliang couldn't come up with 100,000 yuan at all, but it was also to stabilize Zhao Yinghua. pretended to accept such conditions, and said that he needed a few days to borrow money from relatives and friends in private, and begged Zhao Yinghua not to make a noise. Don't let Miao Qiulian find out, otherwise it's a big deal that the fish will die and the net will be broken, and if you go to prison, the matter will get out. Zhao Yinghua's reputation was also affected. Zhao Yinghua agreed to Jiang Hongliang's requests. The two of them said nothing about what happened that night.
However, at that time, Jiang Hongliang was already murderous, he felt that Zhao Yinghua was clearly better off with others, not a person of his duty, why could he get along with a rich driving boss, and he would call the police and threaten to let him go to jail. In order not to be wronged, Jiang Hongliang wanted to solve Zhao Yinghua once and for all. In the days that followed, instead of secretly borrowing money from relatives and friends, he did not follow his promises. Instead, he secretly planned a criminal plan on how to kill Zhao Yinghua.
First of all, he knew that Zhao Yinghua's relationship with the boss of her workplace was a little unusual, and the two had suddenly become less in contact recently, so he came up with the idea of brushing paint to lead the suspicion to Yao Xiangyang, and privately purchased three buckets of red paint to hide under the bed in the room.
Secondly, and at the same time, the most important thing is naturally how to clear one's suspicion, after all, Miao Qiulian is always not at home on the night shift, but she has no job, and she has no money, almost always at home, there seems to be nothing around that no one doesn't know, if you can't find a good way to clear your suspicion, then the whole plan won't work. When Jiang Hongliang was thinking about it, he inadvertently played cards at a card friend's house, and heard the card friend's wife say that An [River Crab] sleeping pills were about to run out, and he needed to find time to go to the doctor to prescribe medicine, which made him suddenly open, and while the other party's family was not paying attention, he stole a pill of An [River Crab] sleeping pills and hid it.
After that, it was the process of waiting for the opportunity, during which he had to keep stabilizing Zhao Yinghua, who urged him to pay compensation quickly, until that day Miao Qiulian worked the night shift, Zhao Yinghua found a group of people to come to the house to drink, Jiang Hongliang realized that the time had come, this kind of night with many people and miscellaneous must be a good opportunity.
So he deliberately came out to rub a beer from those people, and took advantage of the fact that others were not paying attention, and hid the other one in his clothes, and then lied that he was sleepy, and went back to the room to rest, and waited until he heard that those people were leaving, and made sure that everyone was gone, and then came out again, went to Zhao Yinghua's room to find Zhao Yinghua, and lied to Zhao Yinghua that the money was ready, but it was really because he liked Zhao Yinghua, and hoped that he would be able to make love again before giving her compensation, Zhao Yinghua refused a few times, and saw that Jiang Hongliang refused to give up, I had to agree. This time Jiang Hongliang had a heart, took protective measures, so as not to leave unfavorable evidence for himself, after having a relationship with Zhao Yinghua, taking advantage of his unpreparedness, choked Zhao Yinghua's neck, strangled him unconscious, and then he was afraid that he would not be able to die, so he stabbed Zhao Yinghua many knives with the fruit knife he secretly brought in advance, and cut a lot of indiscriminately, to pretend to be a murder under anger, and then he put on an old suit of clothes and painted the room, After throwing all the incriminating evidence, including the bloody clothes stained with paint, to the house, he had secretly dug in advance and buried it deeply, disposed of the paint bucket, returned to his room, swallowed sleeping pills with the beer he had left in advance, and then fell asleep until Miao Qiulian came back from work the next morning, found the body and called the police.
"That's the way it is." After explaining the whole process of the crime, Jiang Hongliang sat down on the chair in frustration as if he had lost his soul, and the eyes of his two eyes were scattered.
After Fang Yuan listened to the causes, processes, and results of the entire case, she was quite calm on the surface, but the shock in her heart was much greater than expected, if it weren't for the fear of gaffes, I'm afraid that her jaw would have almost dropped on the table by now. For Jiang Hongliang's suspicions, they have never completely eliminated, but sometimes they are light, sometimes serious, even if they later put aside the noise of the case, and focused their attention on the details of the hours of sedative residues, the number of beer cans that are not in shortage, etc., and began to gradually focus the suspicion on Jiang Hongliang, who was already slightly panicked, and began to take the initiative to take the charge of theft to clear the suspicion of murder, and did not hesitate to take the initiative to lead the suspicion to her girlfriend, she never thought that the reason behind Jiang Hongliang's killing of Zhao Yinghua was prompted, It was actually related to a case of sexual [river crab] violation, Zhao Yinghua did not actively use the law to protect herself after being violated by Jiang Hongliang first, but was greedy for a while and chose the selfishness of economic compensation, but in the end, because of a moment of greed, she became Jiang Hongliang's victim for the second time, but this time the price was even heavier, and she lost her life.
After explaining everything he had done, Jiang Hongliang hung his head for a while, but soon he raised his head again and said to Dai Xu and Fang Yuan, "I...... I can take you to my buried clothes! ”
"What do you want to say?" Through his recent experience in dealing with him, Dai Xu guessed that Jiang Hongliang's purpose in saying this must not be simple.
Sure enough, when Jiang Hongliang heard this, he immediately asked tentatively: "Such a thing...... Can I turn myself in? ”
Dai Xu shook his head and only said three words to him: "It's too late." ”
Losing the last bit of luck, Jiang Hongliang slumped in his chair again.
