In Ms. Lu's heart, *rich is alive, and we haven't told Ms. Lu for the time being, in fact, *rich has been confirmed dead.

Ms. Lu had already withdrawn 300,000 yuan in cash as requested by the kidnappers, which was packed in a blue sports bag.

In order to ensure the smooth arrest of the kidnappers and ensure the safety of Ms. Lu, the police specially arranged a taxi, and Lao Lu personally disguised himself as a taxi driver and went to the transaction place.

I and a few plainclothes detectives, driving civilian vehicles, followed the taxi and were on standby to arrest the kidnappers.

Just as we were engrossed in following the taxi, we suddenly noticed that the taxi had pulled over.

At first, I thought it was the kidnappers who had changed the location of the transaction, but then I received a call from Lao Lu.

Lao Lu said a little frustrated on the phone: "Hey! Operation failed! ”

I frowned and asked, "What happened?" ”

Lao Lu said: "The kidnappers just called, saying that they wanted to change the location of the transaction. Ms. Lu agreed, but she suddenly asked to hear her husband's voice, and the kidnappers disagreed, saying that *rich was not by his side. Ms. Lu was very stubborn, saying that she couldn't give him the money if she couldn't hear the voice of *rich. So the kidnappers canceled the deal. ”

This arrest was blown up because of Ms. Lu's words. But we don't blame Ms. Lu, because confirming her husband's safety is indeed something she should and must do, which is completely understandable and empathetic.

However, what made Lao Lu and I feel depressed was that after the failure of this transaction, the kidnappers completely disappeared. For four days, the kidnappers did not contact Ms. Lu again.

"Ouyang, what do you think is the situation now?" Lao Lu anxiously patted the file on his desk with his fingers and asked me.

I said: "I think it is very likely that the kidnapper has given up the transaction now, because he has now understood that before each transaction, Ms. Lu will ask to confirm the safety of *Fu." This is certainly not possible for the kidnappers. And the kidnapper was not too stupid, he must have understood that the longer the transaction dragged on, the more likely he was to be exposed, so he simply canceled the transaction. ”

Lao Lu frowned and said: "If the kidnapper cancels the transaction and he doesn't get the money he hoped for, will he carry out a new round of kidnapping again?" ”

I affirmed, "Quite possibly." ”

Lao Lu got up and said loudly: "No, I must catch this bastard as soon as possible." ”

I said: "Now we don't have to do reconnaissance in secret, jump out to the surface, and carry out a large-scale survey near *rich's house, and at the same time investigate people who are familiar with *rich, and people who live near his house." ”

Lao Lu understood that I had speculated that the kidnappers were people who lived near the rich family, so he immediately mobilized a large number of police forces and began to survey the nearby area.

Before the operation began, I said to all the criminal policemen: "In this investigation, we must pay attention to the surrounding abandoned warehouses, clear water rooms, empty houses and basements that have been idle for a long time. Because the victim was likely to go out to see the feng shui of the house before he was killed, then it is very likely that this house has not been renovated, and it is a hidden house, and this house is very likely to be the place where the kidnappers attacked the victim. ”

In the process of a large number of surveys, several people reported that in their community, there was a night in the basement that had been idle for a long time, and the sound of the iron door being knocked on was terrifying. It's like some monster is about to break out of the basement.

We quickly found this basement in the identification of the masses.

The basement is located next to the elevator in the garage of the community, and is locked by a red, rusty iron door. It seems that some residents can hear the sound of the iron door knocking, which is transmitted through the elevator shaft to the upper floor.

I asked the property in the community, "Is this basement a property in the community or is it personal?" ”

A middle-aged property manager said: "This is private, and it belongs to the owner's family surnamed Li. However, the owner had already sold the property in the community two months ago, but the basement was not sold and has been sitting idle here. ”

I nodded, checked the security door in the basement, and found that the door had been badly corroded, but there were obvious pry marks in the lock position of the security door.

The property manager also saw the pry mark and hurriedly said: "No wonder some time ago, the owner reported that in the middle of the night, the third watch heard the sound of metal knocking in the basement of the garage, and it turned out that there was a theft here." ”

But he immediately laughed and said, "This thief is really stupid, there can't be anything of value in this basement at all." ”

I checked the pry marks and found organic oil on the door lock, and I understood that this was not the work of the thieves, but the owner surnamed Li in the mouth of the property. Because the door of this basement was completely rusted, he knocked on it and dripped engine oil, apparently to open the rusted iron door.

So I began to wonder if this basement could be the place where *Fu was killed? Only by opening the door to this basement can we be sure. However, this is a private house, and even the police cannot break into it casually.

Lao Lu asked the property to contact the owner surnamed Li, but the owner's phone was already down.

However, it was only a shutdown, not a shutdown, so I can't be sure right away that he was trying to escape something that caused the call to not connect, and it was possible that there was no phone bill.

But there is only one place around the house of the richest that is the most suspicious, so I am going to conduct an in-depth investigation into this place.

In fact, the direction of the investigation is also very simple, that is, to retrieve the surveillance in this community on the day of the disappearance of *fu, and see if you can find the figure of *fu in the surveillance screen.

The results made us very excited, and in the surveillance screen at the gate of the community, we saw the figure of *rich. Because the surveillance screen is a high-definition picture, we can clearly see the face of the rich, and we can see a very retro leather rectangular satchel hanging on his shoulder, which is a few years old. I guess in this satchel, it should be the * rich feng shui compass.

It can be determined that *Fu had come to this community before his disappearance, so is *Fu related to that mysterious basement?

My guess is that there is.

I said to Lao Lu: "I guess that *rich was tricked into the basement by the kidnappers, and then attacked *rich in the basement." ”

Lao Lu asked, "How to explain the knocking sound of the iron door in the basement?" ”

I said, "Before the kidnapping, the kidnappers came to this basement again and found that the door was rusted, so they managed to open it. It's just that the time he chose to open the door was at night, and this was his property, so he didn't care about the impact, and opened the door ping-pong. So the sound of the door opening caused concern and suspicion among the surrounding owners. ”

Lao Lu nodded and immediately applied for a search warrant.

The basement door opened, and it was pitch black, there was not even a light, and we had to use a flashlight to illuminate it.

Walking into the basement, you can smell a mixture of musty, dusty, and bloody.

Almost everywhere the flashlight went, you could see blood splatters.

The basement was empty, but there was a bloody mallet and a steel handsaw on the ground.

I understand that this mallet is the murder weapon, and this steel handsaw is the tool to cut off the head of the rich.

From the splatters of blood on the walls and floor, I could be sure that the deceased had been hit on the head by the mallet, causing blood to splatter.

And a large pool of blood on the ground that has long turned brown is the location where the murderer sawed off the head of the rich.

Later, DNA identified that the bloodstains in the basement were the blood of *rich, so the owner of the basement, surnamed Li, became the biggest suspect.

The arrest warrant was quickly issued throughout the city, and then throughout the country. In the end, the man surnamed Li was successfully captured in Xi'an.

The suspect's full name is Li Qunlei, 39 years old this year, divorced three months ago, a native of Wanzhou, and has no criminal record.

When I saw Li Qunlei, he was full of scum, his hair was messy like a chicken nest, and his eyebrows were gone. His whole person is an extremely decadent appearance.

Li Qunlei confessed all the facts about his kidnapping and killing of *fu.

Li Qunlei originally opened a leather goods store in the shopping mall downstairs of the * rich family, and in the small and medium-sized city of Wanzhou, Li Qunlei's family conditions are also good. In order to take care of the business of the store, I bought a house in the nearby community. And before the renovation, I found the best to see Feng Shui, and the two got acquainted like this. * Fu's belts and leather shoes have almost always been bought in Li Qunlei's store since then.

If Li Qunlei runs his leather goods shop diligently, his life will inevitably get better and better, more and more solid, and more chic. But just a year ago, he got involved in online gambling and invested a lot of money in endless online gambling scams. Not only did his store collapse, but even his family was shattered, and he finally owed a lot of gambling debts.

In desperation, he thought of kidnapping for ransom.

He knew that he was rich, so he decided to target him and carefully planned the kidnapping.

He understood that *Fu knew him, so from the very beginning, he didn't think about letting *Fu go back alive.

He first lied that his basement needed to be renovated, and invited *rich to go and see Feng Shui. That's why *Fu didn't leave a message on the clipboard, a regular customer plus not far from home, *Fu must feel that he can come back in half an hour at most.

After *Fu arrived in the basement, Li Qunlei took advantage of the dim light in the basement and *Fu's preoccupation with measuring feng shui, and used the mallet prepared in advance to stun *fu.

After *Fu woke up, he asked *Fu to record the audio of the distress call. He then struck *Fu on the head with a mallet, killing him. The purpose of using a hacksaw to cut off the head of *fu was to make it difficult for the police to identify the deceased.

Finally, he drove the body to a garbage dump that had already been stepped on, and froze his head in his freezer.

Li Qunlei not only took the initiative to let Ms. Lu listen to the voice of *rich on the phone, but also put on the coat of *rich and learned to greet the owner of the night market, the purpose of which was to make Ms. Liu mistakenly think that *rich was still alive.

But this cleverness was mistaken by cleverness, and in the end it came to naught.

Li Qunlei was finally sentenced to death, a man who had a successful career, but was ruined because of gambling. I don't feel sorry for this, because in this world, such dramas are happening all the time. Perhaps, such a thing happens to you.
