Mountain Village Bloodbath, Train Murder Chapter 16 Xu Lang's Questioning
After Xu Lang listened to the results of the interrogation narrated by Wu Liang, he didn't speak for a long time, just smoked in a muffled voice.
After a cigarette was smoked, Xu Lang spoke: "What do you think of this case?" ”
"What do I think?" Wu Liang looked at Xu Lang with a puzzled expression, not understanding what Xu Lang meant by this.
Xu Lang looked at Wu Liang and asked, "Don't understand?" ”
Wu Liang nodded subconsciously and looked at Xu Lang with some embarrassment, after all, he was a criminal policeman, and Xu Lang was just an ordinary citizen.
"Then let me ask another question, do you think this case can be closed?" Xu Lang said.
Wu Liang just wanted to say that the case could naturally be closed, but after seeing Xu Lang's solemn expression, he thought for a while and asked, "Aren't these cases still closed?" ”
Xu Lang looked at Wu Liang and shook his head, and asked, "You think you can close the case, then tell me the reason for closing the case." ”
Wu Liang thought for a while and said: "The facts of the murder are clear, the motive for the crime is clear, and the suspect took the initiative to confess the facts of the crime, can't the case be closed with this evidence?" ”
Xu Lang shook his head again, looked at Wu Liang and asked the first question, "You said that the facts of the murder are clear?" ”
"That's right." Wu Liang said subconsciously.
"Okay, then let me ask you, has you found the poison that poisoned Wu Gai?"
Wu Liang thought about it, and then he was stunned, his face suddenly became a little unnatural, and then, he shook his head and said, "No." ”
"However, we found the residue of poison in the glass where Wu Gai was drinking, and in addition to Wu Gai's fingerprints, there were only Li Hongmei's fingerprints on the wine glass, and there were no other fingerprints of a third party, doesn't this mean anything?" Wu Liang argued.
"Even if there are only the fingerprints of the deceased Wu Gai and Li Hongmei on the wine glass, then does this mean that Li Hongmei put the poison in?"
Hearing Xu Lang ask, Wu Liang looked at Xu Lang with some puzzlement, and only the fingerprints of the deceased Wu Gai and Li Hongmei were detected from the wine glass, doesn't this mean anything?
"Then let me ask you, when and where did Li Hongmei put the poison into the wine glass? Where did she hide the rest of the poison after she had put it out? I don't think you gave up this suspicion when you searched Wu Jiu's house, right? So, have you found the remaining poison? Xu Lang asked slowly.
Wu Liang was stunned when Xu Lang asked, and when Xu Lang asked like this, he remembered that when he interrogated Li Hongmei, Li Hongmei did not say when and where he put the poison, and where he put the remaining poison, and Wu Liang They did not find the remaining poison at the scene of the crime, this is a big negligence of Wu Liang, if it weren't for Xu Lang's reminder, Wu Liang really thought that this case could be closed, but there is such a small suspicion, it is nothing, Anyway, Li Hongmei has already taken the initiative to explain, and this detail is no longer so important in the face of the truth.
Xu Lang seemed to see what Wu Liang was thinking, and he said slowly: "Do you think that since Li Hongmei has confessed to the crime, these details are irrelevant, right?" ”
Being told by Xu Lang that he was thinking in his heart, Wu Liang suddenly blushed a little, he really thought so in his heart.
Xu Lang shook his head, looked at Wu Liang and said: "Wu Liang, you are a criminal policeman, and you are handling criminal cases, and criminal cases are matters of human life, as long as there are doubts in the case, you can't close the case in a hurry, otherwise, whether it is for the victim and his family, or for the murderer, it will be irresponsible." ”
It's okay if Xu Lang doesn't say it, as soon as Xu Lang said this, Wu Liang felt more and more ashamed, this sentence actually came out of the mouth of a citizen, not from the mouth of his superior, how could Wu Liang not feel guilty and ashamed?
Xu Lang only said this, he didn't say anything, he knew that Wu Liang was a smart person, and he was also a person who knew his mistakes and changed them, otherwise, Xu Lang would not be idle, and often helped Wu Liang solve cases.
"You just said that the motive for the crime is clear, right?" Xu Lang asked.
Wu Liang nodded, this time he didn't say anything to refute, just looked at Xu Lang quietly, waiting for Xu Lang's analysis.
"Judging from what you just said, Li Hongmei killed Wu Gai because Wu Gai once took advantage of his son Wu Jiu's drunken sleep on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve seven years ago, and Li Hongmei was confused and raped her daughter-in-law Li Hongmei, Li Hongmei was the killer of Wu Gai because she was not angry with her husband's actions, right?" Xu Lang asked.
"That's right, that's what Li Hongmei said." Wu Liang said.
"Did Li Hongmei say that since that night seven years ago, Wu Gai has raped her again?" Xu Lang looked at Wu Liang and asked again.
Wu Liang recalled carefully, shook his head, and said, "Li Hongmei didn't mention these, but I guess there shouldn't be." ”
"You guess? Didn't you? Can your speculation become evidence in court? What about the evidence? Xu Lang asked a little speechlessly.
Wu Liang blushed again, hurriedly took out a cigarette and handed it to Xu Lang, then took out a lighter and lit it for Xu Lang, looking at Xu Lang with a wry smile.
Xu Lang shook his head helplessly when he saw Wu Liang's appearance, he took a deep breath of cigarette for a long time before he spit out a smoke ring, and then said slowly: "According to what you told before, let's make an assumption, assuming that Wu Gai's rape of Li Hongmei is true, and he raped Li Hongmei once, then let me ask you, why did Wu Gai rape Li Hongmei?" ”
Wu Liang said without thinking: "Li Hongmei is young, beautiful, and good-looking, and Wu Gai has been single for many years and has never had a wife. ”
"All of your things are right and in line with common sense, but, one thing, have you ever thought that if Wu Gai's rape of Li Hongmei is really just coveting Li Hongmei's appearance, then, from that night seven years ago until Wu Gai died, he only raped Li Hongmei once, does this make sense?"
Wu Liang thought for a while and said: "Li Hongmei has been by Wu Jiu's side all these years, and she has no time to be alone with Wu Gai, she is still Wu Jiu's daughter-in-law after all." ”
"However, you just said it yourself, Li Hongmei was sent back to her hometown by Wu Jiu during her pregnancy, and it wasn't until Wu Shan was three years old that Li Hongmei continued to go out to work with Wu Jiu. If Wu Gai really plotted against Li Hongmei, Wu Jiu was working in other places, and Li Hongmei was a foreigner with no relatives in the local area, what could he not do? Will he look at the fat in his mouth and not eat it? Xu Lang asked rhetorically.
"Oh, yes." Wu Liang nodded subconsciously, and then, he thought of something, so he looked at Xu Lang and said, "Then according to what you say, Li Hongmei is lying?" ”
Xu Lang said with a yaoyao head: "I don't know if Li Hongmei is lying, but I am sure that no matter what kind of criminal commits a crime, it will have its purpose, what is the purpose of Wu Gai's rape of Li Hongmei?" Is it really just a matter of satisfying physiological needs? ”
Before Xu Lang could give an answer, Wu Liang shook his head and said: "It shouldn't be, Wu Gai has been single for many years, he is a farmer who is shaving food in the field, he is very busy in the field during the day, how can he have time to think about men and women, and for him who has been single for many years, he should have been used to it, besides, he is almost sixty years old, which aspect of the demand should not be so great, right?" ”
Xu Lang nodded and asked, "Did Wu Shan and Wu Jiu's paternity test come out?" ”
"How can it be so fast, it usually takes three days, but now it's the New Year, and it will take at least four or five days to get results." Wu Liang said.
"Before the results come out, Li Hongmei's confession is not credible for the time being, at least not in full."
Hearing Xu Lang say this, Wu Liang nodded seriously.
Xu Lang turned his head and glanced at the wall clock on the wall, the time had reached eleven o'clock in the evening, and it was already late at night, Xu Lang turned his head, looked at Wu Liang and said: "This case is not so simple, don't close the case easily, you have to figure out some doubts in the case, for example, why did Liu Xiaocui fall to death the child, is it really just because of the chewing tongue of the people in the village and Zhou Yongli's distrust?" I don't think it's that simple, the more simple the case, the more often it is not that simple, as long as all the doubts are solved, you can close the case. ”
"I know Brother Lang, thank you." Wu Liang said sincerely.
Xu Lang shook his head disappreciably and didn't say anything more.
