Chapter Ninety-Seven: Criminal Files
No229
I felt like I was on a vacation.
Because of the pouring rain, Xia Yu and I were stuffed in the hostel for two days, and today the rain finally weakened, but Xia Yu began to make trouble with me.
Ever since she learned about Chen Li's experience, she always told me that things were not ordinary. This morning, I picked up the driving license of the strange man next door, and my heart was even more restless. Xia Yu thought that Sister Mei's boyfriend was the public security: "Maybe I can help?" ”
I told her, "We'd better be nosy." ”
Since then, no matter what I say to her, she has always said something that does not match me, and I can't tell whether I am coming to Wuzhen to play or to take care of a mentally handicapped girl.
When Xia Yu knocked over the water glass I handed her in a trance again, I finally broke out: "Ask!" Let's ask right away! I'm going to call Sister Mei right now and ask her boyfriend to tell us the details of the serial arson case. ”
Xia Yu's Yuan Shen quickly returned to his place: "Then how can we do it, we are traveling, and we can't be disturbed by this kind of thing." ”
I wanted to tie her up and put her on the fire to make a BBQ, but I said lightly, "Can you fake it any more?" ”
She smirked at me, "Isn't this for your sake?" ”
So the good travel became waiting for a fax in the print shop, and when it was close to noon, I finally looked forward to Sister Laimei's reply, and she also wrote a poem by the way: Like you, you can grow with water. Like me, layers of dense forests are blocked. Sweat soaked the back of the clothes, just for the symphony of spring.
Xia Yu and I firmly believe that Sister Mei will not send useless messages, and there is definitely a secret in this poem that is inconvenient to tell. We really analyzed for a long time, but in the end it was to no avail.
I always feel that the answer is on my lips: "Spring now?" ”
Xia Yu grabbed his hair: "Late spring." ”
……
"Forget it!" I said, "Don't care about these messy heavenly books, wait until you go back and ask Sister Mei directly." ”
Xia Yu agreed: "That is, compared to this, I am more concerned about the materials of the arson case." ”
There is a lot of material, and it has obviously been streamlined by Sister Mei.
To put it simply, this is a series of arson cases that have lasted for 12 years, and there have been 33 cases on record alone, and Chen Li's family is the starting point of all the crimes of this arsonist.
The so-called serial case, my understanding, is that different cases have the same criminal characteristics. For example, the same criminal modus operandi, similar victim groups, similarities in crime scenes, and point-in-depth clues. In the case of the serial arson cases in our hands, the suspects seem to have a penchant for creating a one-off tragedy. Before each crime, the doors and windows of the target house were locked from the outside, resulting in almost no survivors in all cases. After committing the crime, the suspect will also leave a provocative paragraph on the wall of the fire scene: The family is to be neat!
The thirty-three cases, without exception, were simply horrific and hateful.
It is also pointed out that the crime of the suspect is usually committed at the junction of sparsely populated urban and rural areas. There is a mixture of fish and dragons, and there is a high mobility of personnel, which is corresponded by the chaos of supervision, and both the difficulty and cost of crime are extremely low.
Xia Yu carefully flipped through all the materials one by one, and she held the map with the location of the crime and frowned: "Each arson case is like a completely independent entity, they jump randomly in space, even across several provinces. There is no regular, symbolic point in time. There is no acquaintance between the victim and the victim, let alone an economic or interest relationship, if I were to describe it, it would be like ...... It's like ......"
I saw that Xia Yu was hesitant, and simply said for her: "It's like a willful child who urinate everywhere." ”
She smiled: "It's not rough, this is a very willful arsonist." Every time he commits a crime, there is no clear goal and no clear motive, he may continue to commit crimes, or he may not show his head for several years, and when he rises, he will vote for him, and then disappear. We might call this pattern of crime impromptu or untargeted crime. ”
I followed her up and said, "So that's one of the big reasons why it's hard for him to be caught." ”
Xia Yu was still very puzzled: "If it is as we said, then this person is definitely a real dead pervert psychologically, otherwise he would not have committed a crime without a motive and lasted for so many years." ”
I agreed: "Not only a dead pervert, but also a scheming dead pervert." You see, the police can only judge from the footprints at the scene that he is a lame man with a not very neat left leg, and he doesn't know anything about the rest of the characteristics, which is really incredible. ”
Speaking of lameness, didn't Xia Yu find one this morning?
She put a document in front of my eyes: "Look at this. ”
What Xia Yu handed me was the most complete report on the fire scene so far. It includes suspect testimony, suspicious eyewitness testimony, and mock portraits. I think it's called suspicious because the witnesses themselves weren't sure if they actually saw the arsonist.
It was detailed above: The fire started at about a quarter past ten and was extinguished at half past twelve. A total of four people died in the fire: Li Yong, his wife Cai Ruifang, and their two daughters. After the police investigated the scene, they confirmed that it was a deliberate arson, and the modus operandi was skillful, and the characteristics were obvious, and the words 'a family should be whole' were written on the back wall of the house, and the reason why it was not finished was because it happened to be bumped into by witnesses at that time.
Witnesses said: "It was about 11 o'clock, and I had just returned from playing cards at a friend's house when I saw my neighbor's house in flames from afar, so I ran home without saying a word. It's not because I'm a righteous person, after all, his house is just a wall away from my house. When I got closer, I saw a suspicious man, who seemed to be gesturing with a stick that had been charred at the end of his neighbor's house. When he noticed that I was approaching, he hurried into the alley next to the neighbor's house, threw a stick into the fire on the way, and then disappeared. It was very dark, and he had his back to me the whole time, but by the light of the fire, I saw that the man was about 1.70-1.75 meters, and his skin color was hard to say, but judging from the way he walked, I could be sure that he was lame. ”
The police then quickly cordoned off the scene and locked on four suspects who had been at the scene of the crime that night.
One is Wang Jianjun, 42 years old, male, who has always had financial disputes with the victim Li Yong's family. Because Li Yong's family renovated the house the year before last, he lent Li Yong 100,000 yuan. Li Yong promised to pay it off within a year, but he shirked it in every possible way, and he has not paid back half a cent so far, and it has been three years as of today. Wang Jianjun went to the door many times to collect debts without success, and had several quarrels with Li Yong in public, and threatened that today is an ultimatum, otherwise he will bear the consequences. Wang Jianjun said: "I arrived at Li Yong's house at about 9:50 a.m. today, when the doors and windows of his house were closed, and it looked dark from the outside. I thought that this turtle grandson was pretending to be a turtle with a shrunken head, and when he stepped forward and knocked on the door, he only heard her wife's voice coming from inside the house. She told me that Li Yong drank too much at night, and he couldn't be the master, so he would talk about it tomorrow. Of course I don't believe it! After shooting for a while, I realized that the outside of the gate was locked. I immediately became angry, scolding him outside the house for being a king, in order to avoid debts, you have exhausted all the third-rate tricks in the past few years. After scolding like this for a while, I saw that there was no reaction in the house, but my mouth was dry, although I was unwilling, I could only give up. When he turned around and left, he collided with Song Zhijie and the others. ”
This Song Zhijie is Li Yong's co-worker, 37 years old, male. He was named a suspect not only because of a physical altercation with Li Yong and his intention to retaliate before the crime, but also because he suffered a comminuted fracture of his left tibia and fibula in an accident at a construction site in his early years, resulting in unequal length of his lower limbs. He confessed: "On the night of the incident, Li Yong knew that Wang Jianjun would come to collect debts, so he specially called me to his home to drink, hoping to give himself strength when Wang Jianjun came. I never thought that the two of us would have an argument during the banquet after getting drunk, and Li Yong even beat me. I couldn't get angry, and before leaving, I left a cruel word to call a few brothers to take revenge. When I brought someone back, I happened to see Wang Jianjun sneakily wandering in front of Li Yong's house. I knew better than anyone that he was here to collect debts, and I wanted to take my brothers to see Li Yong's jokes, but I found that he didn't even enter Li Yong's house, and my brothers kindly persuaded me to go down the stairs, so I didn't stay long before I went home to sleep. ”
The other is Liu Huaixin, a 43-year-old truck driver who was temporarily resting here on the night of the incident. In the alley described by witnesses, the police picked up Liu Huaixin's missing driver's license. It just so happened that he was at a highway toll booth at the time and was detained because he couldn't find his driver's license during a routine traffic police inspection. Liu Huaixin argued: "I arrived here at about five o'clock, and just about to go on the road after a short rest, I inadvertently found that Li Yong's house was on fire, so I entered the alley and walked towards Liu's house with the mentality of watching the excitement. But I clearly saw a lame man walking towards me, this person was about the same height as me, with a Chinese face, thick eyebrows but squinted eyes. The alley was very narrow, and he knocked me down very violently and walked away without looking back, and his driver's license may have been lost at this time. ”
Due to Liu Huaixin's detailed description, the simulated portrait was also obtained.
In order to confirm that what Liu Huaixin said was true, the police went to the alley again the next day to verify, but unfortunately the drizzle in his mouth turned into a heavy rainstorm last night, washing away all traces.
The last one is Zhang Hua, a 33-year-old male traveler who happened to be staying at Li Yong's house on the night of the incident. There are two main reasons for listing him as a suspect: First, as a stranger, a fire broke out on the day he stayed at Li Yong's house, but he was safe, and it was difficult for people not to be suspicious. Second, Zhang Hua suffered from polio as a child, and the sequelae caused him to atrophy of his left calf muscle in adulthood, and his left knee joint was mildly turned out with limping, and his gait characteristics were consistent with the characteristics of arsonists in the police's grasp. It is precisely because of this illness that he is determined to be a travel friend, and in this way to tell others that he is no different from ordinary people. Over the years, he has traveled from south to north, and his tracks are erratic, which is inevitably reminiscent of the crime locations where no pattern can be found. Zhang Hua said: "Not long after I stayed at Liu's house, I heard Li Yong and Song Zhijie quarreling, and I was very upset, so I went out to relax at about half past eight, and when I came back, it was already full of fire." ”
In the end, all four suspects were acquitted at the end of their detention due to lack of evidence.
After reading it, I felt very sorry, I always felt that the arsonist slipped away under my nose, but before I had time to think about it, Xia Yu suddenly asked me: "If you are this arsonist with a quirk, how would you feel if you saw on the Internet that there was still a living mouth in the case you committed twelve years ago?" ”
