Chapter 187: Villains
People's evil thoughts always arise in a single thought, but most of the evil thoughts that arise between these thoughts are related to their life experiences and exposure to their ears and eyes.
This is a brutal case that occurred in the summer of 2010, and I still remember the horror and devastation of the crime scene.
In the early morning of July 7th, the sunlight had poured through the cracks in the curtains into my dark room, and there was a little dust in the light, which seemed to be quiet and leisurely.
However, this quiet and leisurely state was immediately broken by me, because I received a call from Lao Lu, in which Lao Lu asked me to rush to Longdu Plaza immediately, saying that there was a murder.
When I hurried to the scene of the crime, it was already 9 a.m.
As soon as I got out of the taxi, I saw a foot massage shop isolated by the police with a yellow barrier belt, and outside the barrier, there were several neatly dressed policemen.
I took a look at this pedicure shop. There are five big characters on the door, Lili foot massage shop, and the door looks a little fancy, giving people a feeling of a red light district.
The door of the foot spa shop is the kind of sliding door with blue glass, which does not look very classy. In short, the first impression is that this store is not a serious store.
Although this is the case, the specific situation of this store will have to be investigated before the corresponding conclusions can be made.
When I entered the store, it was not very large, only about 30 square meters, and there were six small beds neatly arranged in the store except for the cash register. Of course, it's normal for a pedicure shop to have such a cot on it.
I could see that five of the six beds were neatly organized, and only one was messy. And in front of the bed, there is also a brown wooden basin and a small wooden stool, which is covered with plastic film, and in which it also contains some dark liquid, which is obviously a medicine used for pedicure.
Judging from this situation, there are guests who have had a pedicure here, but I don't know why, this pedicure does not seem to be completed, does this have anything to do with the murder of the deceased?
I continued to walk inside, and the bedroom was connected to the shop. The bedroom smelled of blood, and a naked female corpse lay on the bed, a large pool of blood flowing from the side of her neck.
Because the forensic doctor was doing an autopsy and the investigators were taking pictures of the scene, I stood at the door and took a general look inside the house.
This bedroom is more than 20 square meters in size, which is relatively large for a bedroom. The wardrobes, drawers, etc., as long as they can be opened, have been opened, clothes and sundries are turned everywhere, and you can see that some cartons and aluminum boxes have also been opened. Obviously, the murderer's purpose in doing this was not to confuse the police audition and make some kind of burglary and murder. This is clearly a burglary. And judging from the mess at the scene, it reflects the murderer's desire and greed for money. Then I conclude that this person's financial situation should be relatively poor.
Opposite the doorway where I was standing, there was another door with a view of the stove and the range hood, and apparently the kitchen.
So I went straight to the kitchen.
The kitchen is a long strip and at the end is the bathroom.
On the kitchen desk, there is a wooden cutting board, and the middle of the cutting board is a little hollow, obviously this cutting board has been used for a long time. On the cutting board, there was a rusty, bloody kitchen knife. My first instinct was that this kitchen knife was a murder weapon.
Walking to the bathroom, I checked the basin and found blood on the handle of the tap water on the basin. This shows that the murderer came to this place to wash his hands after killing people.
It was precisely because he had been to the bathroom that he left footprints on the floor of the bathroom.
This footprint is obvious, it is the footprint of the liberation shoe. These liberation shoes are often worn by coolies, so I deduce that the murderer must have been a coolie working in the city. As for the scope, I believe that most of them are doing coolies on the construction site, because there are still many construction sites around Rendezvous Plaza.
Judging from the size of the shoe print, I analyzed that the height of this person was about 172 cm.
At this point, the forensic examination has been completed. And report the situation to Lao Lu, when he reported the situation, I went to check the body myself.
The body was a woman, in her early 30s, who had suffered fatal injuries in the neck and had her carotid artery severed by a sharp object. However, I examined the neck of the deceased and found that there were obvious strangulation marks, and it can be seen from the deceased's lying posture and the direction of blood flow that the deceased did not struggle when the deceased was necked, indicating that the deceased was first strangled until he was suffocated and comatose before being necked. Moreover, judging from the position of the severed neck, there was no blood spurt, indicating that the deceased was likely to have suffocated to death before the neck was cut.
Looking at the torso of the deceased, from the analysis of the corpse spots, the deceased should have died at about 9 o'clock yesterday. The deceased had a visible wound on the lower abdomen, which was left by a caesarean section.
There was a distinct* residue on the deceased's lower body, and it was clear that the deceased had been sexually assaulted.
Then I ended the order of the murderer's crime according to the situation at the scene.
First, the murderer strangled the deceased to death, then sexually assaulted him, then cut his neck with a kitchen knife, and finally turned the deceased's home to commit theft.
This is an extremely serious case of burglary, rape, murder and theft.
However, judging from the situation at the scene, this is a murder of passion. Because the murder weapon used by the murderer was a kitchen knife, and after the murderer killed, the kitchen knife was also put back on the cutting board. It shows that the murderer killed the murder weapon on the spot, not a premeditated killing.
Then I made an assumption about it.
A young and vigorous coolie man working on the construction site saw this fancy foot massage shop and thought it was an improper place, so he wanted to come in and consume it.
However, the shop was a serious place, and after the coolie man made sexual demands to the deceased, he was refused. When the coolie man saw that there were only two of them in the shop, he had evil thoughts and carried out the murder of the deceased.
After the murderer, instead of fleeing quickly, the murderer turned the deceased's home upside down, thus committing another theft.
Judging by the methods of theft and the greed for property, it can be seen that this man may still be a habitual offender. Maybe there is a criminal record.
The results of the on-site investigation and autopsy finally came out, and 3 fingerprints were found at the scene, but after comparison, there were no matching fingerprints in the fingerprint database.
DNA was extracted from the deceased*, and the murderer's blood type was determined to be type A, but no match was found in the DNA test data.
Then this murderer should be a first-time offender and has no criminal record.
The identity of the deceased was also confirmed, the deceased's name was Feng Xiaoli, 32 years old, a divorced single woman who had a seven-year-old son who lived with her ex-husband.
Feng Xiaoli runs this foot spa shop alone, and the neighbors around her say that this foot spa shop is definitely a serious foot spa shop, and they sometimes go to visit it.
In the office of the criminal investigation team, there was still smoke, and Lao Lu was holding the file of Feng Xiaoli's case with a sad face.
I said: "Although the suspect was not photographed by the surveillance equipment in this case, we still have a lot of evidence. Such as fingerprints, blood type, DNA data, and so on. It's a matter of time before the case is solved, why are you still sad? β
Lao Lu said: "You don't know, this morning, the parents of the deceased came to me with the son of the deceased, and asked me to solve the case as soon as possible with tears and snot. β
I was silent because my heart was not feeling good, and I knew that only by solving the case as soon as possible could I get justice to the family of the deceased.
But judging from the evidence available now, I am still confused, because this murderer may have nothing to do with the deceased, and the murderer may have met the deceased once, but he was just a guest of the deceased, and he was a guest who went for the first time. This kind of accidental crime, which has no intersection, has indeed brought great difficulties to detection.
But judging from the time of the crime, it was around 9 o'clock in the evening, so during this time period, will there be eyewitnesses?
So I returned to the scene of the murder and looked for witnesses.
The owner of the non-staple food store not far from the foot spa shop told me that at more than 9 o'clock last night, there was a black car back and forth here, and the non-staple food store was closed at 10 o'clock in the evening. And the car would stop in front of the foot massage shop from time to time, but no one in the car would get out of the car, and it would leave again after a few minutes.
This was really strange, so I looked for the surveillance video of the intersection, and sure enough, I found such a car.
It was a black Volkswagen sedan. My first impression was that the driver should know the lady owner of the pedicure shop.
But I don't think the driver had much to do with the murder, because I had already speculated that the murderer was a coolie with a strong greed for money.
But I decided to take a moment to see what he was doing in front of this pedicure shop.
Soon, the police found the owner of the Volkswagen, who is a 38-year-old married owner of a building materials store surnamed Li.
Boss Li admitted that he drove outside the pedicure shop for more than three hours that night. And Boss Li admitted that Feng Xiaoli and him were lovers, and although the two did not have a formal relationship, they have always maintained an improper relationship.
That night, Boss Li went to find Feng Xiaoli, and made a phone call to Feng Xiaoli before. Under normal circumstances, after Boss Li's car came, Feng Xiaoli would come out to greet him, but this time Feng Xiaoli did not come out. I didn't answer the phone, and finally it was turned off.
Boss Li felt that something was wrong with the situation, because Boss Li was cheating in marriage, so he was a little jealous. But he was worried that something would happen to Feng Xiaoli, so he wandered outside the foot massage shop, hoping to see a familiar figure, but he found nothing.
Later, the police confirmed that what Boss Li said was true, and there was no motive for the crime, and the time of the crime did not match the time when he came to the foot massage shop, so Boss Li's suspicion was quickly ruled out.
Then the case is in trouble again.
However, according to my speculation, the murderer was a person working on the construction site, so I suggested that Lao Lu investigate the construction site around Longdu Plaza and extract the blood of the workers at the construction site for blood type and DNA comparison.
This is indeed a heavy workload, but now the case is in a state of stalemate, and only through this large-scale investigation can it be possible to open up the situation.
Of course, in the process of investigation, there are many people who express resistance and discooperation, especially those who are already hovering on the verge of crime, they are extremely disgusted. However, because the nature of Feng Xiaoli's case is extremely bad, Lao Lu must conduct a compulsory investigation of the corresponding people, and those who do not obey will be set as key suspects.
After about a month of investigation, the results were disappointing and no real murderer was found.
Of course, I also have a suggestion at this point. Because the killer killed someone, it is likely that he left the place where he used to work after the killing. During the investigation, Lao Lu also set up another action team, which is to investigate the people who left the surrounding construction sites after the case.
According to the survey, there were 27 people who left their jobs, and 3 of them left without paying their wages.
The reason why the first person left work was that the old mother at home died of illness and went back to the funeral, because he was in a hurry, so he did not settle the salary.
The person's departure from work was confirmed, and suspicion was ruled out.
The second person left the construction site in a fit of anger because of a conflict with the foreman, who had only been working on the construction site for less than a week and was not paid much. Moreover, the foreman also confirmed his situation and said that this person had been in the shed on the night of the crime. His co-workers confirmed this.
Then the suspicion of the crime at this time was quickly eliminated.
The last one is very strange. He was in such a hurry that he didn't even take some of his clothes and toiletries from the shed, let alone settle his wages with his boss. And he learned from his co-worker that this man was in his early 170 centimeters, 24 years old, often wore liberation shoes, and had a bad habit of soliciting prostitution.
I quickly zeroed in on this guy and thought he was the biggest suspect.
As a result, multiple investigations determined the identity of this person.
The suspect's name is Guo Jiayang, who lives in Dazhou Town, Wanzhou District, and has been working in Wanzhou City for more than a year, mainly as a cement worker on a construction site.
Soon we found a copy of his ID card from the construction site where he was and immediately went to Dazhou Town to arrest him.
But it backfired, when we came to Dazhou Town, we learned that Guo Jiayang had not returned home, and he had not contacted his family in the past month.
However, when I learned about the situation, I could see that Guo Jiayang's father's eyes flickered a little, so I felt that he was lying, but I didn't expose it immediately, because if it was exposed, Guo Jiayang would definitely not return home. If it is not exposed, Guo Jiayang may return.
I looked at Guo Jiayang's father, a 50-year-old farmer with a wrinkled face and dark skin. It's the kind of honest person who is honest, so he seems nervous when he lies.
I said: "Big brother, Guo Jiayang committed a big crime in the city and killed someone, if he turns himself in, he may be able to give a suspended death sentence, and if he behaves better, he may be able to save his life, but if he blindly lives in the world and is caught by the police, it will definitely be a dead end." β
Of course, I said this in the hope that Guo's father would recognize the facts and explain Guo Jiayang's specific location.
However, Guo's father didn't answer, just smoked vigorously, and it seemed that he wanted to protect the calf to the end.
Seeing that Guo's father couldn't ask why, I entered Guo's house to check the situation at home.
From Guo Jiayang's bedroom, I found cigarette butts, which did not look like they had been discarded here for a long time, and the discarded time was no more than a week. I left the cigarette butt and prepared to hand it over to the forensic center to extract the DNA data.
And there is no dust on the bed in the bedroom, if Guo Jiayang has not come home, then the bed is idle, there will definitely be a lot of dust, indicating that this bed has been used recently.
However, this does not prove that Guo Jiayang has returned, but it can be assumed that he has returned.
The cigarette butts found in Guo's house were quickly sent for inspection, as long as Guo Jiayang's DNA was found on the cigarette butts, then it could be a good proof that Guo Jiayang had returned home.
In the criminal investigation team, I said to Lao Lu: "When the Guo family was investigating, the reason why I didn't expose Guo's father's lie was because I decided that Guo Jiayang would return home, and we could arrange plainclothes to be monitored nearby." And I also visited and investigated the surrounding people, although they did not see Guo Jiayang's figure, but they knew that Guo Jiayang's bedroom was lit at night. This shows that Guo Jiayang quietly returned home, because he was weak in murder, and in order to avoid suspicion, he did not let his neighbors know that he was back. β
Lao Lu immediately made a decision and arranged for 4 plainclothes people to monitor the Guo family.
Sure enough, two days later, at around 1 a.m., plainclothes sent a message saying that a young man had sneaked into Guo's house at about 1 a.m.
Lao Lu asked the plainclothes to continue to monitor and wait for the large army to come and carry out the arrest operation.
Lao Lu drove the car himself, and I sat in the passenger seat, but I don't know why, I was always nervous, and I always felt that something was going to happen in tonight's arrest operation.
Of course, I didn't tell Lao Lu what I think now, otherwise I would definitely get a scolding in exchange.
When the police car entered Dazhou Town, it did not sound the siren, and Lao Lu thought that only by not startling the snake could the criminals be subdued faster.
The Guo family's house is on the edge of the town, and like most homes in the town, it is a two-story building. Although the building is on the side of the road, and there is a faΓ§ade below, there are very few pedestrians on the edge of the town, and the faΓ§ade is also insignificant.
It was already two o'clock in the morning, and the whole town was very quiet. The street lamps in this township also look very dim, and some small moths surround the dim street lamps, but they look very cheerful, in stark contrast to the silence of the township.
I checked the house, and there was a hill bag behind it, and a strong person could have jumped on the hill bag from the second floor to escape, so I asked Lao Lu to install two criminal policemen on the hill bag.
After arranging the arrest task, Lao Lu said to the criminal policeman next to him: "I'm going to knock on the door now, if the door opens, immediately enter the house to control all the people inside, if you don't open the door, you use the door breaker to break the door." β
The door of the house was a roller shutter, and there was a small door on the roller shutter, which did not look sturdy, and could easily be smashed open with a hammer.
At this time, Lao Lu walked to the door and patted the roller shutter door a few times. In the silence of the night, the sound was loud.
But there was no movement in the house, could it be that he was asleep?
Lao Lu slapped a few more times.
At this time, a voice finally came out, it was Guo's father's voice: "Who? β
Lao Lu said: "The town government, said that your son committed an accident in the city, and I came to find out the situation." β
Guo's father said: "You are talking nonsense, how can people from the government come to understand the situation in the middle of the night." I hear you, you're a cop. β
Lao Lu immediately said loudly and sternly: "Guo Jiayang, we know that you are in the house, hurry up and turn yourself in and strive for leniency." β
As soon as Lao Lu finished saying this, I heard hurried footsteps in the house, this kind of footsteps was obviously the footsteps of young people, Guo's father was old, it was impossible for him to move so quickly. Now I'm even more sure that Guo Jiayang is in the house.
Listening to the footsteps, it was obviously the sound of going upstairs, it seemed that Lao Lu knocked on the door before, and Guo Jiayang also came downstairs.
So I shouted loudly: "Guo Jiayang, don't try to escape by jumping out of the window on the second floor, now that the whole house is surrounded by police, you better come out and follow us quickly." β
As soon as I finished speaking, Lao Lu gave the criminal policeman next to him a look.
The detective picked up the hammer and began to pound against the small door.
The door was quickly smashed, and the lights of the police lights and flashlights flickered, but they reflected a scene that made us feel in a dilemma.
I saw Guo Jiayang, who had not taken off the childishness on his face, holding a bright kitchen knife in his hand, blocking the thin father Guo in front of him, and the kitchen knife was aimed at Guo's father's neck.
"Don't come in, or I'll kill him." Guo Jiayang's hands were trembling, and his knife was also trembling.
Guo's father's face was very calm and did not say a word.
I can be sure that this may be Guo's father's idea, and it seems that he wants to protect this murderer with his own life.
"Guo Jiayang, you have already killed an innocent life, do you still want to kill your father?" Lao Lu held a police gun at Guo Jiayang and said solemnly.
Guo Jiayang responded in horror: "I didn't mean to kill her, she kept shouting for help, I was scared, so I killed her by mistake in order to calm her down." β
I said coldly, "Missed? After that, you raped the corpse, cut Feng Xiaoli's neck with a kitchen knife, and committed theft at her house, which was also a mistake? β
Guo Jiayang's whole body trembled, but he was speechless. Suddenly he roared: "Don't come, or I'll kill him, kill him." β
Guo Jiayang is crazy.
Guo's father is still very calm.
'Smack'!
A gunshot rang out, and the bullet pierced Guo Jiayang's head.
Guo Jiayang's face was frozen with horror and madness, and Guo's father hugged his dead son and cried bitterly.
Lao Lu's shot completely ended the case.
Perhaps, if Guo's father doesn't let his son hold him hostage, Guo Jiayang can live a few more days!
Later, we learned that Guo Jiayang's father had also been sentenced to prison for robbery, and had many fights with his neighbors.
Perhaps the environment in which Guo Jiayang has lived since he was a child is an environment full of violence and crime, and his blood has long flowed with the gene of crime.
