The three people that Lao Lu thought were the most suspicious were also completely ruled out. And Peng Caoqing, who borrowed money from Wu Shitu's mouth before, was not in Wanzhou at all, so of course there would be no suspicion.

Then the rest are the players who stayed in the mahjong parlor on the night of the crime.

Of course, after coming into contact with Qi Shenghuan, I learned an important information, that is, the deceased Tao Cunfang loved to speculate in stocks.

Lao Lu and I found the deceased's husband Wu Shitu again, and wanted to ask Wu Shitu about Tao Cunfang's stock speculation.

When I came to the rich community, the building where the murder occurred seemed very quiet, and there was a crowd of people in the mahjong hall before, but now even the roller shutter door was not opened, but a small door next to it was opened.

Lao Lu contacted Wu Shitu before, and Wu Shitu was waiting for our arrival at home.

Walking through the small door and entering the mahjong parlor, there were no customers in the mahjong parlor, and there were no lights, all thanks to the light from the two windows at the back of the house and the small open door.

However, the mahjong tables and chairs are still very neatly arranged, and the mahjong tables are also covered with dark red gray flannel. It seems that Wu Shitu still did not give up on himself, and it is estimated that after dealing with Tao Cunfang's funeral, the mahjong parlor will still be open as usual. But I can foresee that the business of mahjong parlors will not be as prosperous as before. Because although most people are not superstitious, they will feel that there is bad luck in the place where they have died, and they are not happy to live.

Lao Lu and I walked up to the second floor, and the 'Fortune Hotel' on the second floor was also closed. This is also inevitable, there are dead people here, who still comes here to stay, it is estimated that the days of this inn operation are over.

Coming to the third floor, there is a feeling of desertion and gloom. The doors of four of the five rooms were open, but the door of the deceased's room was closed.

I glanced at Lao Lu and said, "It is estimated that the tenants here have all quit the lease." ”

Lao Lu hummed in a deep voice.

I looked at the three rental houses curiously, and sure enough, they were empty.

When I went to the stairwell on the third and fourth floors, I heard the sound of the TV. This voice is the sound of opera, it should be Huangmei Opera "Tianxian Pei", I didn't expect Wu Shitu to have this hobby.

The door to the living room on the fourth floor is open, and the opera sound of "Tianxian Pei" also comes from the TV in the living room.

After I walked up the last staircase, I called, "Mr. Wu." ”

But no one answered.

The opera sang happily.

I frowned, glanced at Lao Lu, and hurriedly rushed to the living room.

Wu Shitu was sitting on the sofa facing the TV at this time, his head drooping, his face was pale, his body was still twitching slightly, and he was foaming at the mouth.

A dark green bottle fell at Wu Shitu's feet, it was a bottle of 'dichlorvos'.

"Not good!" I yelled. Hurriedly rushed up to pick up Wu Shitu and ran downstairs, Wu Shitu weighed very lightly, it should not exceed 90 pounds, with my arm strength, there is no problem at all to run with him.

"I'm going to drive!" After Lao Lu said a word, he strode downstairs.

I feel that Wu Shitu's body is still pulling out, as if his soul is being pulled out by something, death, getting closer and closer to him.

Lao Lu sounded the siren and drove the police car to the central hospital.

Fortunately, Wu Shitu was rescued in time, and Wu Shitu finally saved his life.

Outside the ward, Lao Lu said to me: "Judging from the situation at the scene, Wu Shitu should have drunk dichlorvos by himself, and he committed suicide." But why did he kill himself? ”

I said: "Indeed, I have checked the position of Wu Shitu's neck and lips, and there are no bruises from forced medicine, he drank dichlorvos himself. As for the cause of the suicide, it is difficult to say. But when a person thinks of death, then he must have encountered some insurmountable hurdle, which is either emotional or financial. ”

Lao Lu said: "This Wu Shitu and Tao Cunfang have long been separated and have no feelings, what will be emotionally difficult, it must be economic." ”

I said suspiciously: "It stands to reason that after Tao Cunfang's death, the first heir of the property is Wu Shitu as a spouse, Wu Shitu shouldn't worry about the economy, right?" ”

Lao Lu said: "The two have been separated for so long, maybe they have already pulled out the divorce certificate, but they may still live in the same building." There are too many such things in today's society, but you haven't experienced marriage and don't know it. ”

I looked at Lao Lu and said, "Your assumption is very likely. However, we will not have a result if we speculate here, and we will find out when Wu Shitu wakes up and asks. ”

Lao Lu contacted Wu Shitu's children, but it was very strange that his children said that Wu Shitu was not their father, and his life and death had nothing to do with them.

This incident made me and Lao Lu very puzzled and angry, these two kings and eight lambs don't understand filial piety too much. But it's a family matter, so how can we manage it?

It's strange to think about it now, after Tao Cunfang's death, her two children returned to Wanzhou, but they did not live in that building, but lived in a hotel outside. Is it taboo for the child to have his mother die in this building?

After gastric lavage, Wu Shitu is very weak, and with the mentality of seeking death, his whole person is now like an empty shell.

When Lao Lu and I came to his hospital room, he was on a drip, with a pair of demented eyes, staring at the hospital ceiling without blinking.

I sat on the chair next to the bed, and Lao Lu did not sit, but leaned against the windowsill near the bed.

Wu Shitu knew that we were coming, because his eyes moved left and right twice, but he didn't pay attention to us, I don't know if he did it on purpose or if he didn't fully recover his consciousness.

I looked at Wu Shitu's pale face and said, "Mr. Wu, why did you commit suicide?" ”

Wu Shitu didn't speak, his eyes were still looking at the ceiling, as if there was something on the ceiling, which deeply attracted his attention.

I waited for about ten seconds and said, "We have informed your children, but they don't want to come and see you." ”

Wu Shitu's eyes were still looking at the ceiling, but his eyes were shaking from side to side, and a painful expression slowly appeared on his pale face.

I continued: "No matter what difficulties you encounter, don't admit to death, and dying is not a relief, but an irresponsibility for your own life. The cause of your wife's death has not yet been revealed, and you have committed suicide, are you not afraid of being infamous after death? ”

"I've lived until now, I really don't want to live, woo woo woo woo ......"

Wu Shitu finally spoke, but he started crying without saying a few words. But his eyes were still fixed on the ceiling, tears falling from the corners of his eyes.

If a man can't control his tears, how much is his heart hurt?

I didn't answer his words, just patted him on the arm.

At this time, Wu Shitu began to babble. He had just come back from the brink of death, so he wasn't very conscious, and his speech was a little choppy and his words were indistinct, but I could still hear the general meaning.

It turned out that Wu Shitu was a member of the district art troupe when he was young, and he had a good voice, and he was best at Huangmei Opera. In that era, Wu Shitu was also a corner.

In a performance, Tao Cunfang, who was from a wealthy family, fell in love with Wu Shitu, so he took the initiative to show favor to Wu Shitu. In the old days, it was difficult for a boy to resist the temptation of a girl who was unrestrained and beautiful.

Wu Shitu and Tao Cunfang soon got better.

But it didn't take long for Tao Cunfang to become pregnant with a child. This incident shocked Wu Shitu, because in that era, young men and women just held hands when they fell in love, how could they get pregnant?

The only possibility is that Tao Cunfang went to another man's bed. It's not a big deal that this kind of thing happens now, but in those days, it was just bad morals.

Tao Cunfang was very scared, so she begged Wu Shitu not to abandon her. Wu Shitu was already in love with Tao Cunfang, and looking at the poor Tao Cunfang, he made a decision that changed his life.

He decided to marry Tao Cunfang and hide this unmarried pregnancy for her.

Not long after getting married, Tao Cunfang gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses. In the eyes of others, Wu Shitu and Tao Cunfang's family are so happy and happy, but only they know that behind this happiness, there is too much helplessness and shame.

Wu Shitu is really good to Tao Cunfang, and he doesn't care about her giving birth to other people's children, and raises these two children as his own.

But Wu Shitu has a wish, hoping that Tao Cunfang will give birth to a child for himself.

But Tao Cunfang always refused for various reasons, and later, he even refused to sleep with Wu Shitu.

The disheartened Wu Shitu thought about divorce, but in that era, divorce would have too many negative effects on him, and even affect his work in the art troupe.

In order to resolve this embarrassing situation, Wu Shitu applied to work in the field, originally wanting to resolve the depression in his heart with distance.

However, there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and people have good and bad luck. In the third month of Wu Shitu's work in other places, he became seriously ill, with a serious respiratory infection, and medical treatment also required a lot of medical expenses.

These medical expenses are not enough for Wu Shitu's meager salary, and his parents are farmers and their families are poor, so they can't afford to pay for this medical expenses.

At this time, his only life-saving straw was only his wife Tao Cunfang. Tao Cunfang's family is well-off, and it is more than enough to take out these medical expenses. However, at this time, Tao Cunfang put forward a condition, her condition was that she paid for Wu Shitu's medical expenses, but Wu Shitu could no longer ask to share a bed with him in the name of husband and wife, and at the same time did not enjoy the joint property of husband and wife.

In order to save his life, Wu Shitu agreed to this private agreement. Only later did Wu Shitu know that Tao Cunfang had actually derailed at that time.

Wu Shitu has been thinking about Tao Cunfang's absurd acts towards him because he has been ill for a long time, and he has been ill for more than half a year. It was only after his condition gradually improved that Wu Shitu found that his voice was no longer good, and there was no way to sing Huangmei Opera at all.

The art troupe took pity on Wu Shitu and arranged him to work in the logistics group, Wu Shitu also endured humiliation and secretly survived, and worked in obscurity for more than ten years in that low-paying position.

With the arrival of the first wave of layoffs, Wu Shitu was swept away by this wave and became a jobless vagrant. Of course, this made Tao Cunfang even more disdainful, and in the 90s of the last century, divorce was not a big deal, and the two divorced by private agreement.

After the divorce, Tao Cunfang did not take Wu Shitu away, perhaps because Wu Shitu had helped Tao Cunfang when she was the most difficult, so he left Wu Shitu to watch the teahouse for him, which was the mahjong hall later.

The two of them still claim to be husband and wife to the outside world, but both of them know it.

Although Wu Shitu usually looks submissive, his heart is like a mirror. He knew that Tao Cunfang was a watery Yang Hua character, and he didn't know how many men he had changed over the years, and some men were only the size of her son. And those men, perhaps when Tao Cunfang was young, were in love with her appearance. But after Tao Cunfang got old, all she looked at was her money.

However, Wu Shitu has to admit that Tao Cunfang is very good at making money, and she does have a set of stock speculation.

Tao Cunfang except for letting Wu Shitu stay to watch the mahjong parlor, the two no longer have any intersection. And Tao Cunfang clearly told his two children that this man was not their father. This is also the reason why when these two children were contacted before, they ignored Wu Shitu.

And Wu Shitu's suicide was because after Tao Cunfang's death, Tao Cunfang's two children were ready to sell the building and drive Wu Shitu away. Because they know that in fact, Wu Shitu and his mother have long since divorced. In their eyes, he is actually an outsider, and an outsider who does not pay rent.

What a tragedy.

Wu Shitu felt that he had reached the point of desperation, and then thinking back on the past, he was congested for a while, so he bought dichlorvos and committed suicide by taking poison.

Wu Shitu's words should have been held in his heart for decades, he has been silently enduring it, and when all of them were poured out, he began to cry. Because he had just lavaged his stomach, his crying seemed so weak and out of breath. However, this shows his sadness and helplessness even more.

After crying for a while, Wu Shitu fell into a deep sleep. I knew that he would sleep well this night, because he had poured out all his years of grudges, and perhaps it would be a relief.

It's just that the story of Wu Shitu and Tao Cunfang really made me and Lao Lu sigh.

A man who is infatuated to the point of stupidity, and a woman who is prodigal to the point of shamelessness.

I was actually thinking at this time, is Tao Cunfang's tragic death God's punishment for her?

Walking out of the ward, I sorted out the things that appeared in the story just now and might be related to the case to Lao Lu.

I said, "In the unfortunate story of Wu Shitu, I guess you also found something related to the case. ”

Lao Lu lit a cigarette and said, "You mean those mistresses of Tao Cunfang?" ”

I nodded and said, "Yes." People who know so much about Tao Cunfang's life may be a lover who has a close relationship with him. ”

Lao Lu said: "Well, but we don't know who Tao Cunfang's lover is, so it's difficult to do." ”

I said, "Lao Lu, have you been too tired lately, or are you about to celebrate the New Year, and you are thinking about the holiday, and your head is starting to dull?" ”

When Lao Lu heard this, he glared at me and said, "Nonsense. ”

I smiled and said, "Then what will you use to investigate the suspect who is closely related to the deceased?" ”

Lao Lu said without thinking: "First of all, investigate the call records, people who call frequently and have a long call time each time. ”

"So how do you determine if they are a couple or an affair?"

"The call time is generally in the middle of the night, and there are text messages, and the text messages are frequent."

I smiled and said, "It seems that your head is not rigid." ”

Lao Lu was stunned for a moment, and said some honest words: "Ouyang, with you by my side, I love to be lazy and not use my brain, anyway, you have to make ideas for me, and even if I use my brain, the method I may come up with is compared with your method, and it will be immediately passed." ”

I looked at Lao Lu, shook my head and said, "Are you complimenting me?" Or are you laughing at yourself? ”

Lao Lu didn't answer my question, he said seriously: "But you are a talent that I excavated, without my appreciation, your talent is useless." ”

I clenched my fists and said, "Thank you Lord Lu for promoting, you are simply my Bole, my reborn parents." ”

Lao Lu slapped me hard and said, "Be serious." ”

In fact, our minds are slowly relaxing now because we all know that the outcome of this case is about to be revealed.

According to Lao Lu's method, Tao Cunfang's call record was retrieved.

According to the call records, there is indeed a local number that is very closely connected with Tao Cunfang.

The police investigated the phone number and, fortunately, the phone number was entered with the user's identification information.

The owner of this phone number is Fu Qiming, 29 years old this year, a native of Wanzhou.

The police called the number, but the phone was turned off.

Through the ID number in the phone number information, Fu Qiming's photo information was queried.

According to the photos, the police retrieved the surveillance footage around the mahjong parlor the day before the crime.

In the surveillance video, Fu Qiming's traces were found.

Fu Qiming appeared in the surveillance screen at three o'clock in the afternoon on January 9. His appearance was very strange, he first stood at the intersection and smoked a full four, and then began to walk towards the mahjong parlor. When I smoke, I kept playing with my phone, I was probably texting.

In the surveillance footage, I saw a detail, that is, Fu Qiming was wearing a pair of black gloves. Of course, it is perfectly normal to wear gloves in winter, but it also leaves us with the possibility that there are no fingerprints at the scene of the crime. And if the police can find the gloves, and extract Tao Cunfang's blood DNA from the gloves. Then it can well confirm the facts of Fu Qiming's crime.

Of course, this is just my conjecture, maybe Fu Qiming is not a murderer at all?

Lao Lu firmly believes that Fu Qiming is the murderer, otherwise why did he have frequent contact with Tao Cunfang, and why did he turn off the phone after Tao Cunfang's death? Is there a possibility of being a thief?

Forensic investigators from the Technical Section continue to analyse the surveillance footage. At 1:55 a.m. on the day of the crime, they found Fu Qiming passing by that street again from the surveillance video.

Because it is night, the street lights are dim, so the picture of the characters is not very clear, but judging from the dress and body shape, this is Fu Qiming.

I also found a few details, the first is that Fu Qiming walked quickly and in a hurry. Did he hurry home or was he running away from something? The second is that his left hand is stuck in his jacket pocket all the time. Is he cold? Or are you worried about something falling out of your pocket? The third is that he did not wear a glove on his right hand, so why did he take it off on such a cold night? Is it just out of the mahjong parlor and not cold? Or are the gloves stained with blood?

In any case, at least now there is a target to detect.

At the same time, I came up with the idea of detection. The first is to investigate Fu Qiming's recent capital flow to see if there is any recent flow of large amounts of money in his bank account. The second is to investigate the gold shops in Wanzhou to see if there is any trace of Fu Qiming's activities.

The criminal police have completed these two tasks with great vigor. Facts have proved that Fu Qiming has done both of these things.

He had an extra 7,500 yuan in his ICBC account, and the 7,500 yuan was not his salary income, but his own deposit at the ICBC ATM next to Chongbai. We also called up the monitoring of the ATM, and sure enough, Fu Qiming operated it himself.

A gold shop in the city also learned that Fu Qiming had sold some loose gold jewelry a few days ago. According to the gold shop clerk, the gold ornaments were cut with a vice. He said that the man who sold the gold said that it was a defective product that had failed and that he was willing to sell it at a low price. At that time, the gold shop bought these broken gold ornaments for 9,000 yuan. It's a pity that these ornaments have been melted away, and it is impossible to identify whether they are Tao Cunfang's gold ornaments. But this is enough to prove that Fu Qiming is extremely suspicious of a crime.

Lao Lu made a decision immediately and issued an arrest warrant for dealing with Qiming.

Ironically, just two hours after the arrest warrant was issued, Fu Qiming was arrested. And the place where he was captured was at his home.

Fu Qiming confessed to the crime of killing Tao Cunfang.

During the interrogation, it was learned that Fu Qiming was indeed Tao Cunfang's lover. And the reason why he killed Tao Cunfang was not to rob Tao Cunfang's gold jewelry, but to ask Tao Cunfang for his 10,000 yuan of shares.

It turned out that Fu Qiming recently had a girlfriend, this girlfriend is young and beautiful, of course, much stronger than Tao Cunfang. So he planned to draw a clear line with Tao Cunfang and no longer communicate. But he once invested 10,000 yuan in Tao Cunfang and asked Tao Cunfang to speculate in stocks on his behalf. Of course, the 10,000 yuan also made him earn some small profits, so he also believed in Tao Cunfang's stock speculation technology, and he never asked for the 10,000 yuan in shares.

Now that he wants to break up, of course he has to figure out the economic accounts, so he proposed to Tao Cunfang to get back the shares. But Tao Cunfang didn't know where she got the news, and knew that Fu Qiming had a woman. So on this ground, I was unwilling to give this 10,000 yuan.

Fu Qiming's income is not high, and this 10,000 yuan is not a small amount for him. He knew Tao Cunfang's stubborn character, so he decided to forcibly ask for it.

The day before the crime, he went to the mahjong parlor and pretended to play mahjong in it until about ten o'clock in the evening, when he saw the opportunity and sneaked to Tao Cunfang's home. Of course, he had been to Tao Cunfang's house many times and knew the route well.

And luckily that night, Tao Cunfang didn't lock the door, he easily hid in and hid under the table.

After that, as I expected, Tao Cunfang found Fu Qiming under the table, Fu Qiming stumbled out of the bottom of the table, made physical contact with Tao Cunfang, and pushed Tao Cunfang down and injured his forehead.

Later, after Tao Cunfang put down his cruel words, he simply killed him. and stole the gold ornaments from her.

Fu Qiming expressed great regret, he looked at the dead Tao Cunfang, looked at the terrible bloody handprints on the bedside table, he knew that his life was over.

The case was finally closed a year ago. In fact, the case is very simple, but the hidden story behind it is embarrassing and sighing.
