Lao Lu looked at me with some puzzlement, and then said, "Tell me your reason." ”

I said: "First, after Zeng Zhikui left Du Ping'e's house, he went to other places to play cards. His explanation of this point is very far-fetched, because it was confirmed in the mouths of Wan Guangcai and Li Yufu before that Zeng Zhikui proposed to leave if he was unwell. Now that we can't even hold on to playing cards, how can it be relieved by blowing the cold wind? So I think there must be something hidden in this. ”

Lao Lu said: "What is the secret? ”

I said: "It was already half past 10 o'clock in the evening, if Zeng Zhikui left, the game would definitely be dispersed, in that late period, if you want to organize the game again, the chance must be very small, then after the end of the game, it must only be the deceased Du Ping'e alone at home." And Zeng Zhikui must have noticed that there was no one else in Du Ping'e's family in the process of playing cards. And Zeng Zhikui must have also discovered the valuables that Du Ping'e was carrying, including gold jewelry and mink coats. Maybe she also found a huge amount of cash on her. ”

Lao Lu said: "Even if Zeng Zhikui found these things, it doesn't mean that he is greedy for these things and wants to kill people and sell goods?" ”

I said: "Then I will assume Zeng Zhikui's modus operandi step by step, to show that he is the most likely person to be a killer among the three people." ”

Lao Lu nodded.

I continued: "As I said before, Zeng Zhikuito said that he was unwell and wanted to leave, that is, he wanted to break up the game and leave Du Ping'e alone at home. This can provide conditions for them to kill people and sell goods. When I talked to Zeng Zhikui, I noticed that the laces on his two pairs of leather shoes were threaded into the lace holes in different ways, which probably indicates that the two laces were not worn by one person. The deceased was strangled with a rope, so can I speculate that the deceased was strangled by a shoelace? ”

Old Lu listened to my analysis and nodded again.

I said, "Let me restore Zeng Zhikui's methods. He first lied that he was unwell, and left first, and after leaving, he must not have gone far, hiding in the dark to observe, and took off one of the laces. After waiting for Li Yufu and Wan Guang to leave, he returned to Du Ping'e's house and casually found an excuse to say that something had left behind at her house. Because Zeng Zhikui was a card friend brought by Du Ping'e's friend Li Yufu before, Du Ping'e would definitely not be wary of Zeng Zhikui, so she opened the door and let him enter the house to look for the things that had fallen. After entering the house, Zeng Zhikui revealed his evil nature and strangled the deceased with a shoelace. However, Zeng Zhikui is a criminal with a city government, and after killing Du Ping'e, he is not in a hurry to steal property, but leaves Du Ping'e's house and goes to a friend's house to play cards. His purpose in doing this was to make an alibi for himself and let his friend testify against him without knowing it. After Zeng Zhikui left his friend's house, it was already dark and windy in the early morning, Zeng Zhikui returned to Du Ping'e's home again and stole his belongings. As for why Du Ping'e's body appeared 60 kilometers away in the end, I think it was Zeng Zhikui who dumped the body in order to destroy the crime scene and make it more difficult for the police to solve the case after committing the theft. According to our investigation, Zeng Zhikui did not have a vehicle, but it cannot be ruled out that Zeng Zhikui borrowed it from someone that night, and even someone helped Zeng Zhikui throw the body together. And the 60-kilometer journey, I estimate that it should take an hour and a half from Xiongjia Town to the place where the body was dumped, and if there were other people in Zeng Zhikui's family, they must have known that Zeng Zhikui had disappeared for an hour and a half on the night of the crime. Then the direction of our investigation will start with Zeng Zhikui's family, relatives and friends, and we may be able to find clues. ”

Lao Lu took the criminal investigation team to quickly investigate Zeng Zhikui.

But an unexpected situation happened, Zeng Zhikui left the Xiong family, and no one knew where he went? And Zeng Zhikui has been divorced for many years, he has always lived alone, and there is no one else at home, so no one knows if he disappeared inexplicably that night.

We found Zeng Zhikui's contact information, and after the mobile phone was dialed, Zeng Zhikui actually answered.

Lao Lu asked, "Mr. Zeng, where have you been?" We also need your cooperation in the investigation. ”

Zeng Zhikui said very calmly and loudly: "I'm rushing back to Changshou, there are some things in the store that need to be dealt with by me, I will go back to Wanzhou in a few weeks, and I will cooperate with your investigation when the time comes." ”

After saying that, he hung up the phone in a hurry.

This point deepened our suspicion of Zeng Zhikui.

In further investigation, we learned from Zeng Zhikui's friends that Zeng Zhikui had asked a man surnamed Liu to take him into the city on a motorcycle on the night of the crime.

This person surnamed Liu is a master who runs a motorcycle, and he doesn't have too deep a relationship with Zeng Zhikui, but Zeng Zhikui has been in the car of a man surnamed Liu several times, and the two have left each other a way to communicate.

At more than 2 o'clock that night, the man surnamed Liu was playing mahjong in the mahjong hall when he received a call from Zeng Zhikui. The mahjong hall where he is located also happens to be the mahjong hall where Li Yufu and Wan Guangcai are.

On the phone, Zeng Zhikui asked the man surnamed Liu to take him to Wanzhou City, and the man surnamed Liu originally refused because he was playing mahjong, but Zeng Zhikui admitted to giving the man surnamed Liu a reward of 200 yuan. You must know that from Xiong's house to Wanzhou City, it costs only a few yuan to take a bus, and it is only 30 or 40 yuan to take a taxi.

The man surnamed Liu recalled that he sent Zeng Zhikui to the door of a hotel, and saw Zeng Zhikui enter the hotel in a hurry.

So the information given by the man surnamed Liu of Mo gave me a new direction of investigation. First, what is it that makes Zeng Zhikui rush to the city at the expense of a lot of money? The second is what was the purpose of his visit to the hotel?

According to the current situation, I said to Lao Lu: "We have to control Zeng Zhikui's movements while investigating, and I want to check Zeng Zhikui's operation in Changshou's electrical appliance business." ”

Lao Lu said: "Okay." Now I will divide into two ways, all the way to the city to investigate the hotel, and all the way to Changshou to investigate Zeng Zhikui's business. ”

The results of the investigation were not long in coming. During the hotel's investigation, it was learned that Zeng Zhikui went to the hotel and borrowed a car from a friend who lived in the hotel. His move was to discover Zeng Zhikui's figure through the hotel's surveillance, and found out which room he went to, and found the person who stayed that night in that room. And from the surveillance of the hotel garage, it can be seen that Zeng Zhikui did drive a friend's car out that night, and returned to the hotel nearly three hours later and parked the car in the garage.

Then it is very likely that Zeng Zhikui's purpose in borrowing the car was to transport the corpse. He first contacted a friend from Xiong's house, saying that he had an urgent matter to borrow a car, and after obtaining consent, he quickly got on a motorcycle surnamed Liu and rushed to the hotel where his friend was. Then I borrowed a car and drove to the home of Du Ping'e of the Xiong family to remove the body, and then drove to a place 60 kilometers away from the Xiong's house to throw the body, and then drove the car back to the hotel.

Lao Lu extracted the surveillance video on the road, and indeed found that the car had entered and exited Xiong's house, although there was no monitoring in the back section, but from the previous trajectory and time of the car, it can be judged that the car was driving towards the location of the place where the body was dumped.

So now, Zeng Zhikui's method of killing people and throwing corpses can basically be determined.

At the same time, the long-lived scouts also sent back the news. In Changshou, Zeng Zhikui's electrical appliance store closed a few years ago. According to the news, the reason for its closure was poor management, unable to make ends meet, and breaking the capital chain. This situation shows that Zeng Zhikui is now unemployed and short of money, and may be in a state of being in debt.

Then he has a motive for attacking Du Ping'e, that is, for money.

Lao Lu dialed Zeng Zhikui's phone again, and the phone was quickly connected.

Lao Lu said quietly: "Mr. Zeng, where are you now, we need your cooperation with the investigation." ”

Zeng Zhikui said: "I'm in the longevity store, I said I'll be back in a few weeks, what are you doing in such a hurry?" I've got a guest here, I'll talk about it later, so be it. After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone in a hurry.

Lao Lu wanted to fight again, but I said, "No need to fight." Zeng Zhikui's store has been closed, and now he is obviously lying, and he must have absconded in fear of crime now, but he doesn't know that we have determined that he is the murderer, because he is still half-pushing and half-cooperating with the police. If we push him too hard, he must be more sure that we already know the facts, then he will inevitably hide deeper. ”

So the police carried out a secret investigation and found that Zeng Zhikui had a girlfriend in Changshou, and the two had lived together.

With the cooperation of the Changshou police, they investigated the trajectory of his girlfriend's entry and exit, and soon confirmed that Zeng Zhikui was still living with his girlfriend. So it was tracked and controlled.

In the end, the police caught Zeng Zhikui in a coffee shop.

At that time, Zeng Zhikui was drinking coffee with his girlfriend, and when the police arrested Zeng Zhikui, the woman was completely confused and at a loss.

And the investigators found that the woman's neck and ears were wearing the gold necklace and gold earrings of the deceased Du Ping'e in the photo. And the mobile phone used by this woman is also Du Ping'e's thing before her death. At the place where they lived, the police also found the deceased's gold ring and the expensive mink coat. I was thinking, what would this woman think if she knew that the things she was using had been plucked from a dead man?

After Zeng Zhikui was arrested, he confessed to the fact that he killed and robbed Du Ping'e.

Zeng Zhikui confessed that on the night of the crime, he was in a bad mood and drank some wine, and then received a call from Li Yufu, saying that he was playing mahjong, so he followed. In the card game, he found that Du Ping'e was a rich woman who carried a lot of gold and silver jewelry and cash with her, so he had evil thoughts.

His modus operandi is exactly the same as I suspected, but his motive wasn't just about money. Because Zeng Zhikui's current economic situation is in big trouble, but he is a man who loves face, and he loves his girlfriend very much.

His girlfriend followed him because she thought he was a small boss, and if this woman knew that she was bankrupt, then this love would definitely be shattered.

So Zeng Zhikui killed people and oversold goods, and used the property of the dead to keep the woman's heart.

Zeng Zhikui has this idea, it is not accidental, in the subsequent investigation, it was learned that Zeng Zhikui was imprisoned for theft and robbery when he was young, which shows how great his greed for money is, and in order to get money, he is unscrupulous.

Finally, it is to warn those ladies who live alone not to open the door to strangers at will, because what you put in is likely to be a demon.
