After two days, the investigation of Li Chuang's case in Huotan Village, Muqiao Township was concluded, and so far, the truth of the series of cases in Guangong Town has initially surfaced.

Now, all the members of the task force gathered in the conference room of the county public security bureau for a meeting.

"Comrades," Meng Moming made a gesture of silence with his hands, and the conference room immediately fell silent. "After nearly a month of investigation and evidence collection, today, the truth of the series of cases in Guangong Town has finally come out. Here, on behalf of the county bureau, please allow me to express my heartfelt thanks to all the members of the task force and the comrades who contributed to the investigation of the case. You've worked hard. The conference room burst into applause.

"Now, please ask Wu Ping, the head of the criminal police brigade of the county public security bureau, to make a detailed report on the investigation results of the case." Another round of applause rang out.

"I'll cut it short. On May 8, 1995, Zhou Guoqiang, the principal of Guangong Town Middle School, was killed during the school celebration, and the murder weapon was a disc catapult installed on the ceiling of the corridor of the teaching building, and the murderer was Li Chuang, a school guard. After the confession of the witness Yuan Man, the owner of the blacksmith shop in Guangong Town, Li Chuang asked Yuan Man to make a catapult twice under the pretext that there were wild things in the mountains behind the school, and the investigation team found the composition materials of the second set of catapults in Li Chuang's room. The reason for the murder was that 25 years ago, Li Chuang and Zhou Guoqiang worked in the Linxian Public Security Bureau at the same time, Zhou Guoqiang was jealous of Li Chuang, and reported Li Chuang, which led to Li Chuang's dismissal, after which Li Chuang's wife and child died in his womb. Li Chuang's motive for killing was to take revenge on Zhou Guoqiang. On the same day of the school anniversary, Wu Changan, director of the school's teaching office, died, and the cause of death was poisoning. According to the witness Yuan Man's confession, Li Chuang killed Wu Changan because he discovered the secret that Li Chuang wanted to kill Zhou Guoqiang, and was killed by the other party. On May 25, 1995, a fire broke out in the guard room of Guangong Town Middle School, burning one person to death. The investigation team found a suicide note at Cao Guisheng's home. The content of the suicide note said that Li Chuang lost his words after drinking and told the truth about his killing of Zhou Guoqiang and Wu Changan. Later, Li Chuang invited Cao Guisheng to the guard room of Guangong Town Middle School to drink, and during the banquet, Li Chuang gave birth to rat poison to Cao Gui and burned him to death. After that, Li Chuang absconded. ”

Wu Ping took a sip of tea and continued to report, "In 1995, Li Chuang's traces were found in the Muqiao Township Guest House, and the investigation team organized the police to arrest people, and Li Chuang continued to abscond after discovering it. On June 5, Li Chuang's body was found by the river next to the primary school in Huotan Village, Muqiao Township. Li Chuang was overwhelmed by the pressure of being wanted in the city, and set him on fire. There were no signs of a fight at the scene of the crime, and there were no traces of the suspect. After comparing the fingerprints of the deceased Li Chuang with the fingerprints left by the cigarette butts in the guest house, the two matched, and there was no doubt that the deceased was Li Chuang himself. ”

Wu Ping's mood did not relax with the end of the case report, but became heavier. The applause in the conference room distorted his face slightly. He couldn't find a way to extricate himself except for his crazy smoking.

There are still too many doubts in the case to be explained.

The afternoon before, in Meng Moming's office, "Meng Bureau, I don't agree to this hasty conclusion of the case." Wu Ping couldn't understand why he was in a hurry to end the investigation when he still had time.

"When do you need your consent to make a decision in the bureau? Besides, the county party committee and county government have already issued instructions, so this is the end of the investigation. The murderer Li Chuang, who committed suicide in fear of crime, and a series of cases in Guan Gongzhen came to light. Meng Moming's words were clear and decisive, and there was no room for negotiation. With that, he leaned heavily back in the sofa chair. "The decision of the superior must be obeyed unconditionally, don't say it's you, even me, I have no qualifications to bargain." Meng Moming rubbed his thumbs back and forth on his temples.

Wu Ping heard the decisiveness in Meng Moming's words, and also heard the helplessness. "However, there are still so many doubts that cannot be explained clearly, isn't the higher authorities worried about the wrong and unjust cases?"

"Presumptuous." Meng Moming slapped his hands on the table, "Do you still have party spirit?" "Meng Moming rarely sent such a big fire at Wu Ping.

"Meng Ju, it is precisely because I still have party spirit that I came here to ask you, give me a few more days, we will not let go of any bad person, nor can we wronged any innocent person."

"Get out."

"Meng Bureau." Wu Ping's eyes were full of pleading, "Li Chuang's killing of Zhou Guoqiang, human and physical evidence is there, and the motive for the killing is clear, I have no doubt about this." However, Wu Chang'an's death, the confession of Yuan Man, the owner of the blacksmith shop, does not prove anything, what was Li Chuang's motive for killing Wu Changan? Did Wu Changan really discover his plan to kill Zhou Guoqiang? Where is the evidence? Also, where did the *** that poisoned Wu Changan come from, and if it was prepared by Li Chuang himself, where were the raw materials? None of this has yet been answered. ”

Meng Moming leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes, he didn't interrupt Wu Ping, which proved that he wanted to continue listening. He acquiesced to giving Wu Ping the opportunity to continue.

"Why did Li Chuang kill Cao Guisheng, was it really because he lost his words after drinking and told the truth about the killing? A serial murderer, would he lose his words so easily? Unless, he doesn't want to continue to live, in this case, then there is no need for him to kill Cao Guisheng. Moreover, why is the recording secretly recorded by Cao Guisheng intermittent? He simply didn't have a chance to press the record button multiple times at all. After Li Chuang killed Cao Guisheng, he just ran away, why did he still set fire. If it is explained that he wants to destroy all the evidence, then how can it be explained that in the Muqiao Township Guest House, there are cigarette butts with fingerprints left behind? Is it simply because time is tight that it cannot be destroyed? If I were Li Chuang, I wouldn't have left cigarette butts for the police to catch. ”

Seeing that Meng Moming was silent, Wu Ping knew that he had listened to it, and was thinking about Wu Ping's inference, so he continued, "The most important thing is that the corpse by the river in Huotan Village, Muqiao Township, why did only the upper half of the body be burned? Is it because it is not like letting us know the identity of the deceased, and if this is the case, then why leave his left hand below the elbow so that we can take the fingerprints of the deceased? That's because he wants us to think that the deceased is the person who absconded after staying at the guest house in Muqiao Township - Li Chuang. The reason why I made this inference was that the lighter found at the scene had no fingerprints on it except for the fingerprints left by the villager who found the body. The reason is very simple, the murderer is very secret, he is wearing gloves when igniting, and the lighter is not Li Chuang's at all. If Li Chuang committed suicide, the lighter must have his own fingerprints on it. All this aside, just one point, the police are overwhelmingly wanted Li Chuang, will he be stupid enough to use his ID card to register in a hotel? So ......"

"So what, go on." Meng Moming opened his eyes and looked at Wu Ping, and two sharp lights shot out of his eyes.

Therefore, it is true that Li Chuang killed Zhou Guoqiang, but someone else killed Wu Changan. The person who died in the guard room of Guangong Town Middle School was Cao Guisheng, and the murderer was either Li Chuang or not. The person who died by the small river in Huotan Village, Muqiao Township, was either Li Chuang or not, and the real murderer was at large. ”

This is really an astonishing speculation, and no one dares to make such a speculation except for Wu Ping.

"In short, except for Zhou Guoqiang's case, no other cases have reached a conclusion."

"Good. I've never doubted your ability to solve cases. The possibilities you speculate are reasonable. ”

"Thank you, Meng Bureau. In that case, should we continue to pursue it? Wu Ping's joy was indescribable, he felt that Meng Moming had promised him to continue to investigate the Guan Gongzhen series of cases.

"There will be a summary meeting tomorrow morning, you go back and organize your thoughts and write a report. Let me remind you that the truth of the case is that Li Chuang killed Zhou Guoqiang, Wu Changan and Cao Guisheng, and then committed suicide in fear of crime. You're good to go. Meng Moming closed his eyes again.

"Meng Ju, I heard you right, right? Didn't you listen to all that I just said? Did I hear it wrong or are you confused? ”

"Captain Wu, has it become your habit to speak out against your boss many times?"

"I'm sorry, Meng Ju, I'm dizzy, but ......"

Meng Moming waved his hand to stop Wu Ping's words, "The day after tomorrow, Lu Weiyuan, member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, will inspect the county, and the main leaders of the city will accompany him. It's not one or two people who covet your position, and it's not a day or two. Let's get out there and hurry up and write a report. ”
