Chapter 40: Corpse Love (5)
With the assistance of the police from the Wuqiao Police Station, Tang Zhenguo and I came to the place where Xiao Xia died.
This is a small piece of ruins left after the renovation of the old city, although it is not far from the Wuqiao urban area, but the people who come and go are sparse, and the ruins are broken everywhere, and it is extremely desolate.
The police took me to the place where Xiao Xia's body was found, next to the wall of an abandoned bungalow, and the small brown blood stain on the ground was particularly eye-catching.
I looked at the scene of the murder and it was clear that this was definitely not the scene of the first crime. According to Liu Lili's description, Xiao Xia died after being hit on the head many times, so if this was the first scene of the crime, there would definitely be traces of splattered blood, but there were no other blood stains at the scene except for the pool of blood on the ground.
Moreover, Xiao Xia is on a mission, and if he is attacked, he will inevitably resist and fight with the gangsters, but there is no trace of a fight at the scene. It can be seen that this is the second scene, and Xiao Xia's body was abandoned here after he was killed.
"Xiao Xia was driving a police car on a mission last night, what about his police car?" I asked.
The police replied: "His police car was parked in the Xiangfu community before, and we found the car keys on his body and drove the car back to the police station." ”
I nodded, and the name "Xiangfu Community" was rolling quickly in my mind, because in my impression, it definitely appeared.
By the way, it's Xiao Xia's girlfriend, the community where Lu Meilin lives.
What's going on? Xiao Xia should have been on the task of tracking Deng Qibing last night, why did she park the car in Lu Meilin's community? Could it be that Deng Qibing has been to Xiangfu Community?
With these questions, we came to Xiangfu Community and retrieved the surveillance video.
In the video, at 00:31 a.m. today, Xiao Xia's police car drove into the Xiangfu community, and before, I didn't see the vehicle entering, which means that Xiao Xia has left his post at this time and has not tracked Deng Qibing anymore.
At 00:36, Xiao Xia parked the car, covered his head with his left hand, held his mobile phone in his right hand, and stumbled out of the car, after that, he ran out of the surveillance screen and disappeared from our field of vision. Since this is a community where immigrants return housing, the monitoring coverage is extremely limited, so in the surveillance video, we no longer find Xiao Xia.
However, I found a detail, he walked backwards, but he was in a hurry, and he didn't even lock the door when he got out of the car.
Because it was night, the picture was blurry, but it can be seen from Xiao Xia's actions that Xiao Xia's head seems to be injured, but in this case, why didn't he go to the hospital and come here instead? All I can think of can only be related to Lu Meilin.
When we came to the building where Lu Meilin lived, at the top of the stairs, I found several drops of dark brown blood.
When I came to room 401, I found bloody fingerprints on the door frame next to the door, apparently Xiao Xia had used his hand to hold on to the door frame, and he was holding the door frame when the door was open. I carefully examined the fingerprints, which showed signs of overlapping friction, indicating that the person's hand had been in this position for a certain amount of time.
Xiao Xia is Lu Meilin's boyfriend, Xiao Xia was injured at this time, it stands to reason that Lu Meilin will let Xiao Xia enter the house as soon as possible, so why did she let Xiao Xia stay at the door for so long?
With a new question, I rang the doorbell of Lu Meilin's house.
No one responded for a long time, the more I thought about it, the more wrong it became, and I didn't care if there was a police officer next to me, and I took out the lock-picking tool I carried with me for a while.
The door opened, and I was stunned by what I was looking inside. On the floor, on the furniture, on the walls, there were blood splatters everywhere, and a bloody wooden stick was thrown on the ground at random. I said in a low voice, "This is where Xiao Xia was killed." ”
I picked up the stick and looked closely, it was the leg of an old-fashioned wooden stool, and I ran around the room with it, and found no one hiding it, nor any furniture matching it.
I didn't give up, ran out of the house, and in the stairwells on the fourth and fifth floors, I found a wooden stick made of the same material as the wooden leg, and it seems that this wooden leg came from this place.
Why did I think to inspect a stairwell? Because this stairwell is like a stairwell on the first floor to the fourth floor, full of clutter, and the murderer found this wooden leg from the pile of clutter and attacked Xiao Xia.
Tang Zhenguo asked with some puzzlement: "Xiao Xia was killed in 401, but why did the murder weapon come from this place?" ”
I said, "Natsu was beaten to death by someone hiding in the stairwell." Inferred from the fingerprints found on the door frame at the beginning, it can be seen that Lu Meilin has not let Xiao Xia into the house since she opened the door, and the two may be arguing about something at the door? At this time, the person who had been hiding in the stairwell in advance hit Xiao Xia on the back of the head with a wooden leg and pushed him into the house and slammed it. You can see the scene, and although there is blood everywhere, there is no sign of a fight. It shows that Xiao Xia has long lost consciousness under the heavy blow, which has a lot to do with Xiao Xia's head injury before. ”
"Then how did they abandon Xiao Xia's body to the old street?" Tang Zhenguo asked again.
I said: "There are no security guards in this community, there are a lot of blind spots in monitoring, as long as there is a car, drive the car downstairs, and then transport the body to the car, it is easy to abandon the body." ”
The policeman on the side gritted his teeth and said, "Who is so rampant? Dare to kill the police. ”
I can't draw a conclusion on this point right away, but this person must be related to Lu Meilin. I vaguely feel that Xiao Xia's death may be a case of love murder. So I said: "This case is a typical crime of passion, so the crime scene was not cleaned up afterwards, and even the murder weapon was thrown at the scene." It shows that the murderers are also very flustered and afraid, they must have chosen to flee by car after abandoning the corpse, as long as checkpoints are set up along the way and Lu Meilin is caught, the case can be solved. ”
It's just that there is still one big question in this case, how was Xiao Xia's previous head injury caused?
The police then asked the neighbors about the situation that night, because most of them were elderly, and they didn't ask why, but they said that they seemed to hear a quarrel. In the end, the case of Xiao Xia's sacrifice was reported to the bureau, so Lu Meilin was also listed as a wanted person.
Only eight hours later, Lu Meilin and her accomplices were intercepted and captured on the Sichuan-Chongqing Expressway. And Lu Meilin's accomplice is the lobby manager of the Tianxia Huadu Entertainment Club, Wu Yanbiao, and he is an addict.
According to Lu Meilin's confession, she was with Wu Yanbiao after the New Year, but she kept it from Xiao Xia. On the night of the crime, under the encouragement of Wu Yanbiao, she finally decided to have a showdown with Xiao Xia and asked to break up, but Xiao Xia was on a mission at the time, so the two did not talk in detail.
I asked Lu Meilin about the time when she first called Xiao Xia, it was around half past nine in the evening, indicating that Xiao Xia was still following Deng Qibing at this time.
Lu Meilin confessed that when Xiao Xia came to her that night, her head was covered with blood, and she couldn't speak clearly, and asked him who beat him, but he didn't say anything, but just asked Lu Meilin not to break up with him, Lu Meilin saw Xiao Xia's appearance was terrible, so she didn't let Xiao Xia enter the house, and the two had an argument at the door. Wu Yanbiao, who had been hiding in the stairwell to observe, was angry for a while, so he hit Xiao Xia on the first few times with a wooden stick, and as a result, Xiao Xia was killed by mistake. In the end, the two of them dumped Xiao Xia's body in the ruins of Lao Cai in a panic.
During the interrogation of Wu Yanbiao, he kept yawning and runny nose, his whole body trembled, and he just said vigorously: "I killed, I killed, I killed......" In the end, he didn't ask why. But according to Lu Meilin's confession, it has been determined that Wu Yanbiao is the real murderer of Xiao Xia, and Lu Meilin participated in the abandonment of the corpse and is an accomplice.
The truth of Xiao Xia's death is embarrassing, and everyone in the bureau used the word 'sacrifice' to describe Xiao Xia's death, but since the truth surfaced, no one mentioned the word 'sacrifice'.
Lao Lu also shook his head helplessly and sighed: "Hey! Xiao Xia, a bastard boy, was finally planted in the hands of a woman. ”
I have mixed feelings about cracking the truth about Xiao Xia's death. Standing on the side of the truth and finding out the truth, I have no hesitation and no regrets. But from the perspective of Xiao Xia's friends, the truth has smeared Xiao Xia's death with a layer of disgrace, and I have to apologize a little.
Human nature always makes me wonder what I can't figure out.
The case is not over, and Deng Qibing's whereabouts are unknown, which is enough to prove that he was greatly involved in Miao Kehui's death.
It's just that Deng Qibing's escape, under the round-up of many parties, is still no news, can he fly away?
During the period of rounding up Deng Qibing, a strange rumor spread throughout Wanzhou. It is said that a taxi driver sent a woman to Sanchangzhuang in the middle of the night (the folk saying of the funeral home), and the woman gave the taxi driver a hundred yuan for the fare, and then did not want the taxi driver to look for money, so she got out of the car and walked into Sanchangzhuang. The next day, the taxi driver found that he had a dark note in his wallet, and there was a bloody line written on it: "My Li Qiqi died so miserably, Deng Qibing, you return my life." Later, the taxi driver went to the funeral home to find out the truth, only to find that this Li Qiqi had died a long time ago, and the body had been stored in the morgue of the funeral home.
That's right, the name 'Deng Qibing' appeared in the rumors, and this rumor has gone crazy on online platforms such as Tieba, WeChat, Weibo, etc., and netizens have been discussing on the Internet, discussing who this Li Qiqi is? Who is this Deng Qibing? Is it a wronged ghost asking for his life? Or is it a peachy dispute? In short, there is everything to say.
This incident finally touched the Internet police, and the Internet police found out that the sender of the original post was actually the beautiful mortuary, He Shu.
When I learned about this, I was sensitive to the fact that this was not a simple Internet rumor. He Shu is Miao Kehui's best friend, and she mentioned Deng Qibing's name in the rumors, indicating that she should know some of the connections between Miao Kehui and Deng Qibing. And what puzzles me is that in the rumors, why did she say that Li Qiqi died so miserably, but not that Miao Kehui died so miserably? Who is this Li Qiqi?
It seems that I have to meet this beautiful mortuary again, He Shu.
