Chapter 104: The Present World (1)

Looking through Weibo, I saw that I wrote a paragraph on Weibo: Confucianism is based on secular ethics and morality of good and evil as the value orientation, emphasizing retribution in this world, the subject of retribution is not the actor himself, but his family and future generations, and the ultimate goal of pursuing retribution is to achieve the psychological balance of life and achieve equality in real life.

I vividly remember that this was an exclamation I left on Weibo two years ago after the detection of two murders that occurred on the same day.

It was in the summer of 2014, and I received a call from Lao Lu early in the morning, saying that there had been a car accident near Xintian Town, but he thought the accident was very strange and asked me to go over and take a look.

I arrived at the scene of the crash, which is less than 500 meters away from Xintian Town, and one side of the road has been cordoned off by the police, leaving one side for traffic. Heavy trucks often pass through this section, so the road conditions are very bad, as long as there are cars passing by, dust will be raised, and it is a hot summer at this time, resulting in a relatively bad environment on the site.

I know that this is by no means a simple car accident, if it is just a car accident, then it should be handled by the traffic police department, how can Lao Lu, the captain of the criminal investigation team, be in trouble?

I found Lao Lu, who was standing in the cordon and talking to the forensic doctor at this time. He also saw me at this time, so he said to the forensic doctor: "Give Ouyang the preliminary autopsy of the victim." ”

"The deceased was a male, aged between 24 and 26 years old, 165 centimeters tall, and died between 7 and 9 p.m. yesterday night," the medical examiner said. Ostensibly, he was run over by a heavy truck, but upon examination, it was found that the fatal injuries to the deceased were three stab wounds to the abdomen. The truck crush injuries were caused after the death of the deceased. ”

I frowned and nodded, and walked over to the deceased to check. The deceased fell on the side of the road with his legs facing the middle of the road and his head towards the field on the side of the road.

His legs had visibly been run over, and it was very strong, which must have been caused by a passing heavy truck. He was wearing a royal blue sports shirt on his upper body, and there were large blood stains on his abdomen. I squatted down to check, and sure enough, on the left side of his abdomen, there were three wounds caused by sharp weapons, all of which were about three centimeters, which should have been caused by sharp weapons such as daggers.

He was wearing black shorts, which were covered in blood, apparently oozing from his abdomen.

His calves were bloody and fleshy, but no shoes were found on his feet. I examined the soles of his feet, and there was blood on the soles of his feet, which were very tightly absorbed, and it was obviously not ordinary dust sticking to the soles of his feet, but the deceased after walking barefoot.

From this, it can be determined that this is not the first scene of the murder. After being injured in the abdomen, the deceased walked a distance barefoot and came to this point, where he died and fell to the ground due to excessive blood loss. The crushing injury of both feet should be due to the lack of street lights on this section of the township road, and the truck was inadvertently run over during night driving. However, there was no vehicle in sight at the scene, and it seems that the driver who ran over the body should have fled.

It was less than 500 meters from Xintian Town, and I guess the deceased must have moved here from a farther distance from the town, so he walked along the edge of the road.

No traces of blood were found in the first fifty meters, and I estimate that the amount of blood on the deceased's body was already very low by this time, so it was difficult to leave any more visible traces of blood on the road ahead.

Continuing to look forward, drip-like blood stains began to appear, and further on, brown blood bands appeared, which should be the traces left by the deceased's heavy steps and procrastination. In the end, mutilated bloody footprints were gradually found, which shows that the amount of bleeding of the deceased was very large at this time.

After walking more than 400 meters along the bloodstains, I found that the bloodstains in front of me entered a fork in the road, which was a single-lane village road.

When I first entered the village road, there was a slight slope, but I could still find intermittent blood stains as I walked along the village road. It was only when I walked to the edge of an orange grove that the blood on the road disappeared completely.

It was hot, I was already sweating, so I simply took off my shirt and looked for clues on the highway shirtless. I regret it at this time, why didn't I prepare a bottle of mineral water in advance?

Even though my mouth was dry, my brain didn't stop working.

I found blood stains in the weeds at the edge of the orange grove, some plants had blood stains on the leaves that had long since dried up, and the weeds with blood stains were clearly trampled on the location.

Leaving the road, I walked through the weeds and into the orange grove. In the orange grove, I found not only bloodstains, but also a pair of dark blue slippers scattered around. In the vicinity of the slippers, there were very messy footprints, and there were a lot of blood stains on the ground. Apparently there was a fight here. It can be inferred that the two people who fought were the dead and the murderer.

I studied the footprints left by the killer at the scene and deduced that it was a man who was about 175 centimeters tall.

When they returned to the scene of the crash, the body of the deceased had been transported to the car of the forensic identification center. I found a bottle of mineral water from Lao Lu's police car, drank half of it in one gulp, took Lao Lu and several on-site investigators to the orange grove, and reported my speculations to Lao Lu one by one.

Except for footprints and slippers, no murder weapon was found at the scene.

Later, after an investigation by the criminal police, the identity of the deceased was ascertained.

The deceased was male, named Wang Kexin, 25 years old, from Wanzhou District, Chongqing City. He went out to work when he was 17 years old, mainly in an electronic equipment factory in Dongguan, Guangdong.

Just as Wang Kexin's case was being investigated, at around 11 a.m., a police report was received that a male corpse had been found in a roadside flower bed near the fork in Longdu Avenue on the Wanzhou Hurong Line.

Lao Lu and I rushed to the scene of the murder in a hurry.

When they arrived at the scene, the police comrades who had arrived in advance were setting up a cordon. Because this line is a road out of the city, there are very few pedestrians on the road except for cars, so there is no onlooker situation. But passing cars will slow down, curious people in the car will look at the scene of the crime, and some will take out their mobile phones to take pictures.

Since the forensic doctor had not yet arrived at the scene, I conducted a preliminary examination of the body in advance.

I first made sure that this was the site of the dumping of the body. To be precise, it was not the body that was thrown, but the seriously injured victim was abandoned here, but because the victim was seriously injured and no one found it in this sparsely populated place, it led to death.

I base this judgment on the fact that the deceased had shown signs of struggle, and that he tried to climb over the steel fence between the flower bed and the road, and that there were still his bloody handprints on the railing, but he was seriously injured and therefore did not succeed.

The deceased was about 45 years old and was wearing a white shirt and gray summer trousers, as well as a pair of black leather shoes.

When I saw these shoes, I was shocked because they were covered in mud. Of course, a pair of leather shoes stained with mud would not shock me so much, and what shocked me was that the size and sole texture of these shoes were very similar to the shoe prints at the scene of Wang Kexin's orange forest crime. No, it's not very similar, I'm sure the shoe prints in the orange grove are the ones left by these shoes. And the height inferred from the shoe prints also matches the deceased in front of me.

Could it be that the murderer of Wang Kexin is the corpse in front of me? Of course, I think it was he who killed Wang Kexin before he became a corpse. Because I deduced that the time of his death was between 10 and 11 o'clock yesterday. And the difference in the time of death between the two coincides with the section from Xintian Town to this section.

I examined the wounds of the deceased, and there were as many as 17 wounds, most of them on the shoulders and the outside of the arms, and most of these wounds were stabbing wounds from daggers. There were also three slashes on the top of the head, but the wounds were not deep, apparently caused by the killer slashing the head with a dagger, but the weight of the dagger was not enough to cause a fatal wound to the head.

The fatal wound of the deceased was in the right ribcage, and the knife was so deep that it must have hurt the lungs after penetrating the chest. But this knife is strange, the wound is stabbed into the chest from the bottom up. But it was this strange knife wound that made me understand how the killer attacked the deceased.

I speculate that the deceased must have been sitting in the passenger seat of the car before his death, and the murderer was sitting in the back seat of the passenger seat. The killer first used the dagger to attack the deceased's shoulder, the outside of his arm and the top of his head, because the murderer sitting behind the co-pilot could only attack the deceased.

In the end, the murderer threw himself forward, held a knife in his right hand, and stabbed the deceased in the chest with his backhand, causing fatal injuries. I estimated the height of the car's interior space, and I thought that the car that could do this must be high, so I concluded that it was not a car, but a vehicle with a high interior space such as pickup trucks, SUVs, and vans.

So I told Lao Lu about the results of my investigation, and Lao Lu was very shocked that this death case was related to the murder of Wang Kexin, so he ordered his police officers to investigate the identity of the deceased as soon as possible and check the road surveillance along the way.

The identity of the deceased on the Hurong Line was quickly investigated. His name is Qian Binchang, 46 years old, male, 175 cm tall, married, and a quality inspector of Taizhong Construction Company.

At the same time as the investigation of Qian Binchang's murder was launched, the investigation of Wang Kexin's murder case made progress.

First of all, I determined that Qian Binchang's footprints were left in the orange grove where Wang Kexin was killed, so I deduced that Qian Binchang was a major suspect in the murder of Wang Kexin.

In order to prove this, I asked the technical department to conduct a DNA test on the blood on Qian Binchang's body, especially on the palm of his hand and on the chest of his clothes, because in these areas, there is a high probability that Wang Kexin's blood traces will be left. If Wang Kexin's DNA is found on Qian Binchang's body, then the facts of Qian Binchang's crime of killing Wang Kexin can be established.

In the gap between DNA tests, the police found Wang Kexin's relative, his cousin Wu Chunchong. Wu Chunchou's first reaction was that the person who killed Wang Kexin was Qian Binchang. This surprised and pleasantly surprised me.

So I learned from Wu Chunsleeve that Qian Binchang owed Wang Kexin a sum of money, and the purpose of Wang Kexin's return to Wanzhou this time was to collect debts from Qian Binchang, and Wang Kexin's mother, Wu Minyuan, collected debts with Wang Kexin.

But Wu Chunsleeve is not clear how much money Qian Binchang owes Wang Kexin, only that since Wang Kexin returned to Wanzhou, he and his mother have been pestering Qian Binchang to collect debts. After the year, for some reason, they stopped collecting debts, and arranged Wang Kexin in a house in Xintian Town, and Wu Minyuan also left Wanzhou and went to Zhejiang to work.

learned from Wu Chun's cuffs that Qian Binchang owed Wang Kexin's mother and son a sum of money, but now I don't know if the money has not been repaid? I think that Qian Binchang did not return this money to Wang Kexin, and Wang Kexin's death is likely to be related to this money.

After the criminal police determined that Qian Binchang was the major suspect in the murder of Wang Kexin, they focused on the murder of Qian Binchang.

But I am a stubborn person, and I feel that in Wang Kexin's case, there are still many problems buried deep under it that have not been clarified. So I came to Xintian Town alone and investigated Wang Kexin's residence before his death.

To my surprise, the landlord said that Wang Kexin had moved out a month earlier, supposedly staying at a hotel in town. And the landlord knew Qian Binchang, and the previous landlord of this house was Qian Binchang's nephew.

So I inquired about the hotel in the town, and finally found Wang Kexin's place in a guest house called 'Fulai Hotel'. Moreover, the owner of the guest house said that Wang Kexin's accommodation fee was given by a middle-aged man, and he gave it for two months at a time.

I took out the photo of Qian Binchang stored in my mobile phone and showed it to the owner of the guest house, and the boss was sure that it was the hotel fee given by this person.

I went to the single room of the guest house where Wang Kexin lived before his death, and found that this room was very simple, with a single wooden bed, an old TV, a ceiling fan, a desk, no single toilet and bathroom, no air conditioning, and the smell of sweat stains in the room. It turned out that this young man lived in such a simple guest house before his death.

Under the pillow of the wooden bed, I found dozens of photos, some in black and white, some in color, these photos are all photos of Wang Kexin's family, and the people in the photos are all with happy smiles, warm and sweet. I found that some of the photos had mottled marks that looked like marks left by water droplets after they had dried up, but I don't think they were left by water droplets, but by tears.

In the pile of photographs, I also found a crumpled piece of stationery, with some crooked handwriting and a few patterns on the paper, which were written in a dark blue ballpoint pen and struck my heart deeply.

"I'm going to get the house soon, I'm so happy, I have hope for the future. I'm going to take out a loan from my house, I'm going to use the loan to open a farm, I'm going to raise a thousand chickens, I can sell chickens, I can sell eggs. and a hundred sheep shall be raised, and mutton and wool shall be sold. I'm going to dig a fish pond and raise grass carp and carp for everyone to come and fish. I want to build a big house by the fish pond, live with my mother, marry a daughter-in-law, and have a child. ”

There is also a sketch underneath this text, and at the end of the sketch is outlined with four large characters in dark blue ballpoint pen: "Success". These four words were painted so thickly that even the letter paper was pierced.

My eyes were blurry.

This young boy had set a life goal for himself, but before he could start fighting for this life goal, he lost his precious life.

Infinite regret.

The police successfully contacted Wang Kexin's mother, Wu Minyuan. When Wu Minyuan came to the police station, I saw her for the first time.

She was about 45 years old, slightly chubby, with some spots on her face, her hair coiled behind her head, and red circles under her eyes, apparently crying.

In a conversation with Wu Minyuan, she learned that her first reaction to the death of her son Wang Kexin was also that the person who killed Wang Kexin was Qian Binchang.

Wu Minyuan then told us about her grievances with Qian Binchang.

Twenty years ago, Wu Minyuan had a solid and happy home. Her husband was a pioneer in the construction industry and had become a 10,000-dollar household in that era. But there are unforeseen circumstances, people have good and bad luck, her husband died in a car accident, dragging the child, Wu Minyuan, as a full-time housewife, lost the pillar of the family.

Qian Binchang, as a good friend of Wu Minyuan's husband, often comes to care about Wu Minyuan, and over time, the two have a relationship and get better.

But Qian Binchang did not announce this relationship to the public, but often borrowed money from Wu Minyuan, Wu Minyuan did not think too much about Qian Binchang because he was invested in his feelings, and she gave as much as Qian Binchang borrowed.

Finally, one time, Qian Binchang opened his mouth and asked to borrow 50,000 yuan, which was a lot of money in those days. Wu Minyuan really couldn't take out so much money, so Qian Binchang said that he was investing outside and owed a lot of money, and the creditors forced him to press him very hard, but if he took out another 50,000 yuan to invest, he would not only be able to repay the money he owed, but also make a lot of money. Qian Binchang came up with an idea to Wu Minyuan, asking Wu Minyuan to sell the house in the city, then live with him, and use the money from the sale of the house to invest. When you make money, you will return a house to Wu Minyuan.

At that time, Wu Minyuan did hand over the happiness of the rest of his life to Qian Binchang. So he really sold the house and scraped together some savings, just 50,000 yuan, which was completely handed over to Qian Binchang.

But after Qian Binchang got the money, he did not fulfill his promise, shirked it for various reasons, and was unwilling to live with Wu Minyuan and the young Wang Kexin.

Wu Minyuan was heartbroken, so he had to take his children to live with his parents, and after remarrying a few years later, he cut off contact with Qian Binchang.

Because Wang Kexin lives in a broken family, he embarked on the road of working after graduating from junior high school. However, because of his academic qualifications, he had a very difficult time working in other places, and the money he earned was only enough to maintain his food and clothing.

This year, Wang Kexin returned to his hometown of Wanzhou, and saw that Wanzhou was developing so vibrantly, so he came up with the idea of staying in his hometown.

Wang Kexin knows that if he wants to stay in his hometown, the most important thing is to solve the housing problem first. When he wanders the streets of Wanzhou in the middle of the night, looking at the lights of thousands of homes, his heart must be full of envy, when will he have a home of his own?

He found his mother and asked her where her house was. He wanted to go back to live.

When his mother told Wang Kexin the truth, Wang Kexin was extremely angry. He urged his mother to return to his hometown and go with him to ask Qian Bin for an explanation and to return to his own house.

Wang Kexin and Wu Minyuan quickly found Qian Binchang, because Qian Binchang did not change jobs and leave Wanzhou in the past 20 years.

So the mother and son tried all kinds of ways to find trouble with Qian Binchang. went to block the door of Qian Binchang's unit, and quarreled with him in Qian Binchang's unit, and even fought with him; went to block Qian Binchang's home, and it was also a mess in his community.

Qian Binchang knew that he was at a loss, and he didn't want to go to the court, so he asked to settle it privately. He wrote an IOU to the mother and son, saying that he would return Wang Kexin a house within half a year. and arranged Wang Kexin in a house in Xintian Town, and told Wang Kexin that the house was his, but he had not yet applied for the real estate certificate, and he would apply for the real estate certificate for this house within half a year, and the name of the real estate certificate would be Wang Kexin's.

After Wang Kexin and Wu Minyuan's mother and son got the IOU and the house, the stones in their hearts fell. This house is in town, but it's better than nothing. The mother and son did not ask too much of Qian Binchang, and only hoped that he would apply for the real estate certificate as soon as possible.

Wu Minyuan felt that the matter had been properly handled, so he returned to Zhejiang to work. But what he never expected was that after Wang Kexin lived in the house in Xintian Town for five months, he was deceived by Qian Binchang on the grounds that he needed to map the area of the house for the real estate certificate and settled in the town's guest house.

Wang Kexin lived in the guest house for a few days, and felt that something was wrong, so he told his mother Wu Minyuan about the situation. Wu Minyuan asked Wang Kexin to go back to the original house to find out the situation. Only after this understanding did I know that the house in Xintian Town belonged to Qian Binchang's nephew, and it was not Qian Binchang's at all. Because his nephew has been working in other places for a long time, he handed over the house to Qian Binchang to sell on his behalf. Qian Binchang's talk about applying for real estate certificates was all a lie to Wang Kexin's mother and son. Now that Qian Binchang's nephew has found a buyer and wants to sell the house, Qian Binchang has no choice but to let Wang Kexin leave. His plan to delay the army was also self-defeating.

Afterwards, Wang Kexin frantically chased Qian Binchang, because a note was set up on the guarantee letter and the time of returning the house was indicated. It is estimated that Qian Binchang was unable to fulfill his promise, so he was ruthless and killed Wang Kexin.

From Wu Minyuan's statement, I learned about the grievances and hatred between their family and Qian Binchang, which is really embarrassing. But what is even more surprising is why did Qian Binchang also die?

In order to find out the cause of Qian Binchang's death, the police checked the surveillance video of the line from San Tin to Hurong.

In the surveillance footage, a strange car appears in our sight.

This is a white urban off-road vehicle, this car on the night of the crime, from the direction of Xintian Town into the Wuqiao has been speeding, when driving to Wanchuan Avenue, the passenger door of the car suddenly opened, and the off-road vehicle trajectory appeared a large offset, from one lane directly to another lane, almost hit the guardrail, extremely dangerous. After that, the urban off-road vehicle adjusted its direction, still speeding, and even ran a red light, and after entering the Wanzhou Yangtze River Bridge, it drove towards the Hurong line. It's a pity that at the scene of Qian Binchang's death, there is no surveillance video, and it is not certain that this car is the car driven by the murderer, but it is the most suspicious.
