Chapter IV: Withdrawal of Cases
I was like a child full of curiosity, full of curiosity about everything Du Gu said, Du Gu has always given me an omnipotent and omniscient image from last night to now, but the more he behaved, the more uneasy I became.
"Du Group, there shouldn't be many people surnamed Xu in Changlin City, right?"
"It shouldn't be much, if you take Qinghua Street as the center and investigate outside, you should be able to find this Xu family soon."
"I can't find it." The unjust soul suddenly shook his head and said.
"How could I not find it?"
"More than seventy-three years ago, the people of the Xu family found me, originally since I passed away, their Xu family was affected by my curse and had very bad luck, and often there would be the descendants of the Xu family who died inexplicably, but suddenly one day, they invited a Taoist priest, and the Taoist priest said that they were cursed and had to change their names and surnames to resolve it."
"Change your surname?"
"Yes, they have changed their surnames, and my curse does not sense them, and I have searched everywhere for decades, but I have never found them."
My eyebrows tightened, and my mind was full of questions.
"Then you can't find it, why did the Xu family attack Ren Yaoyao?"
"Ren Yaoyao?" The unjust soul looked puzzled, "In the past hundred years, I have never persecuted a second person except for the Xu family." ”
"What are you pretending to be confused, three days ago, a girl disappeared mysteriously outside the City God Temple, and before she disappeared, she went to the City God Temple to find the statue of Guan Erye, you said you don't know if we can believe it?"
"Looking for the statue of Second Master Guan?" The unjust ghost looked a little confused, it stands to reason that if he did it, he didn't need to cover it up, anyway, he was already a wronged ghost, and he couldn't be sentenced to death again.
"Although I, Liu Tian, was not a big man who stood up to the sky and the earth before I was born, I have always dared to do it, and this Ren Yaoyao you are talking about really has nothing to do with me."
It was six o'clock in the morning while he was talking, and Du Group was afraid that the people in the police station would find out the clues, so they hid this powerful ghost Liu Tian. After staying up all night, I was already sleepy because I didn't have a good rest yesterday, so I fell asleep on the sofa in the office.
"Lao Lin, get up, the forensic report from the forensic team has come out."
At about nine o'clock in the morning, I was woken up by Li Ming's hurried shout, and the Du group in the headquarters sat calmly, as if a sleepless night had no effect on him.
According to the identification of the forensic department, this dead body is an ancient corpse, the time of death is about 100 years ago, there are no obvious injuries on the corpse, and the preliminary estimate is that it should have been suffocated by someone alive in the statue. However, early in the morning, people from the Cultural Relics Bureau came to bring back the ancient corpse, saying that this thing was of greater use to archaeology. ”
Du Group glanced at me, and the report sent by Xiaoxiao was roughly consistent with what Liu Tian said last night, which shows that Liu Tian did not lie to us.
"Does Ren Yaoyao have a clue about that case?" Du Group asked.
"Not yet, but at present, the biggest suspect is this Bi Fang, followed by Bi Fang's wife, because she has a motive to kill."
Li Ming and Xiaoxiao still feel that Bi Fang and his wife are the most suspicious.
"And yesterday I found out that one of Ren Yaoyao's roommates was a little strange," Xiaoxiao put aside the forensic report, obviously she wasn't quite sure.
"After I went back last night, I carefully went through the process of going to SME to investigate, I remember that when we went to Ren Yaoyao's dormitory and told them that Ren Yaoyao was killed, one of the girls seemed very calm, at first I thought that maybe she had a bad relationship with Ren Yaoyao so I didn't care much about her death, but later I found out that she seemed to know something, or she had a premonition that something would happen to Ren Yaoyao in advance."
"Du Group," Ma Hua interrupted Xiaoxiao as he came in from outside the door, "the family of the deceased is here. ”
Ren Yaoyao's body was found yesterday morning, and Li Ming found out Ren Yaoyao's identity at about two o'clock in the afternoon, and almost eighteen hours have passed since the deceased's family was notified. Ren Yaoyao's home address at school is Sichuan County, which is not too far from the city, and we have been busy looking for clues to the murder yesterday but ignored the most critical family members of the deceased.
I looked back at Du Group, his expression was a little weird, Du Group has been engaged in criminal cases for so many years, it is impossible for him not to find this problem, general homicide cases have to start from the deceased's closest people to investigate clues, but this time Du Group directly cast the net, judging from his night visit to the City God Temple to capture Liu Tian, Du Group's understanding of this case seems to be far beyond us.
"Lin Xuan, you help me to receive the family of the deceased, and by the way, ask about some information, and Xiaoxiao and I will go to the School of Economics and Management again."
After Du Group and Xiaoxiao went out, I was even more sure that Du Group had some connection with this case, and he deliberately avoided the family of the deceased, obviously Du Group was likely to know the family of the deceased.
In the reception room, I met Ren Yaoyao's father, his hair was messy, with deep dark circles under his eyes, he looked extremely haggard, and his clothes seemed neat, but the third button of his shirt was not fastened, indicating that this was a temporary change of clothes before he went out, and there was an obvious strangulation mark on his messy hair. Obviously, there is only one possibility for ribbons, dark circles under his eyes, and a temporary change of clothes, that is, there is a funeral at his home, and he is holding a funeral, which is the only reason why he did not see him until eighteen hours after notifying his family.
"Hello comrade policeman, my name is Ren Qi and I am Yaoyao's father, because the old man in the family has just passed away, so I am late."
From Ren Qi's voice, I heard a little helpless, the old man in the family had just died and received the news that his daughter had been killed, this kind of blow is not something ordinary people can bear.
"Mr. Ren mourns, our police station will definitely solve the case as soon as possible and give justice to the deceased."
Ren Qi shook his head vigorously, "No need, what about Yaoyao's corpse?" We didn't report the crime, I came to bring Yaoyao's body back. ”
"What? You don't report the crime? "Ren Qi's words shocked me a little, I have never seen this situation in the three years I have been in the serious crime team, and the family of the deceased chose to withdraw the case when the cause of death was unknown.
"Yes, we didn't report the crime, I came to take Yaoyao's body."
"Mr. Ren, I fully understand your pain, but you have to believe the people's police, a young girl died innocently and tragically, how can we sit idly by, we will definitely find out the real culprit."
"It's your business to investigate or not, I'm here to take Yaoyao away, I don't want to ask about all other questions, and even if you want to investigate the case, please don't disturb me and my family."
Ren Qi's attitude is very obvious, but if the family withdraws the case, it will cause us a lot of trouble in the next investigation, and Du Group obviously knows that such a situation will happen, so he threw this problem to me.
"Mr. Ren, do you think this is good, Yaoyao, you take it back first, but please don't withdraw the case first, give us a week's time, if we can't find the real murderer after a week, can you withdraw the case again?"
"Okay, you can do whatever you like, I just want to take my daughter as soon as possible." After speaking, Ren Qi buried his head and sobbed quietly, such cries vented an atmosphere of despair everywhere, and the mysteries of this case became more and more.
In the afternoon, Du Group and Xiaoxiao returned to the police station with a girl, I guess this should be the girl Xiaoxiao said.
"Lin Xuan, what about the family of the deceased?"
As soon as he entered the police station, he asked me about the family of the deceased, and it was obvious that he was very concerned about the matter.
"Back to the Du group, the family of the deceased took Ren Yaoyao's body away, and Ren Yaoyao's father also asked to withdraw the case, and under my painstaking persuasion, they promised to give us a week."
"What? They demanded that the case be dropped? ”
Although Du Group raised questions, there was no doubt or confusion in his expression and demeanor, obviously my guess was correct, Du Group and Ren Yaoyao's father Ren Qi should have been in contact earlier, and he also knew very well that Ren Qi would make a request to withdraw the case, so he asked me to delay time for him.
"Yes, Du Group, it's the first time I've seen such a father, the cause of his daughter's death is unknown, and it's just a matter of not helping to find out the case, and now he even asks to withdraw the case."
Hearing the conversation between me and Du Group, the girl who came back with Xiaoxiao and them on the side cried inexplicably.
"Xie Min, can you not pretend to cry here, you didn't behave like this when I went to your school yesterday and said that Ren Yaoyao was killed."
"I'm not crying for Ren Yaoyao, I'm crying for Uncle Ren, Ren Yaoyao is all because of her own fault for everything she has today, she has never understood the feelings of the people around her."
For Xie Min's words, Du Group seemed to be very interested, "You said that Ren Yaoyao is to blame?" ”
"Yes, she is to blame, if she hadn't provoked Zhou Junlong, Ah Hui would not have had a car accident, and Uncle Ren's company would not have gone bankrupt, she is a broom star, and everyone who is with her will be unlucky."
This Zhou Junlong is very familiar to the people in our serious crime team, he is a well-known little bully in Changlin City, and several murders are related to him, but he has been suffering from no direct evidence, so he has to be at large.
"Is this Ah Hui called Liang Hui?"
"Do you know Hui Hui?"
Li Ming is mainly responsible for the investigation of suspects, so most of the people in Changlin City who have a criminal record have an impression.
"This Liang Hui is a young man in society, two years ago he was arrested by the Public Security Bureau of our city on suspicion of theft in the underground parking lot, and after a trial and squatting in prison for a year, he did not change his life after being released from prison, and died in a car accident in the eastern district of our city three months ago."
"Ah Hui, he's not a bad person, he just likes racing, if Ren Yaoyao hadn't called him that day, he wouldn't have gone to the Eastern District, there was Zhou Junlong's territory, he and Zhou Junlong had been at odds with each other, if it weren't for Ren Yaoyao, Ah Hui wouldn't have had an accident."
