However, the owners of the two stores had no impression of Zhang Liping, and more importantly, the two stores were located on the east side of Yamen Road, and Zhang Liping finally disappeared after going west on Yamen Road. Her husband also said that he had planned to take Ms. Zhang to live in Xi'an for a period of time in April. ”

Hearing this, the case handlers felt strange: since she was about to go to other places, would Zhang Liping still go to the flower shop to buy flowers? But since she likes flowers and often puts all kinds of flowers at home to decorate, will she buy fake flowers that won't break? And just now, on the west side of Yamen Road, there is a fake flower shop. What's more, the rope strap that binds Zhang Liping also looks like the packaging rope commonly used in gift shop flower shops! ”

The police then began a covert investigation into the owner of the fake flower shop. The owner of the flower shop is called He Xiong, in his 30s, and he has been running this shop with his wife for 12 years. The first floor of their house is a façade, the second floor is a warehouse, and for the convenience of doing business, their family also has a medium-sized van. ”

In the eyes of the investigators, this is simply too suspicious of committing a crime:

1. The shop is located on the west side of Yamen Road, where Zhang Liping last disappeared.

2. In the afternoon, the male boss was alone in the store, and there was no alibi.

3. There is a van, which can meet the conditions for transporting corpses.

4. Fake flower shop, which can access the common wrapping rope for gifts that bind corpses.

So the police began to investigate whether He Xiong had ever been to the scene of the dumping of the body on the 19th. At around 9:30 p.m. that night, He Xiong drove out of the flower shop alone, but according to road surveillance, his car did not follow the nearest route to go home, but spared a large circle, from another path that must pass through the West Lake Scenic Area and the bridge over the Houhao River, and at the same time there were no cars to go home during the day. ”

What's even more strange is that he drove home from the store from 9:34 to 9:55. There were no traffic accidents or traffic jams on that section of the road that night, and it took him 21 minutes. At 9:34 a.m., the investigators began to drive from their store to their home along the route driven by Ho Xiong, and found that it only took seven minutes to drive at a normal speed. And He Xiong took nearly 14 minutes more! What did he do in the past 14 minutes? ”

"Because He Xiong was extremely suspicious, the police called him to the bureau. As soon as he faced the criminal policeman Shu Huang, He Xiong immediately collapsed, and explained that the reason why he killed Zhang Liping was only because of 50 yuan. ”

At more than 2 o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, Zhang Liping came to his shop to see the flowers, he introduced it for a long time, Zhang Liping also went upstairs to see the inventory, but she didn't look like she wanted to buy it, He Xiong was a little unhappy in his heart. When going downstairs, Zhang Liping accidentally kicked over a vase, and the vase broke. He Xiong asked Zhang Liping to compensate 50 yuan, but Zhang Liping said she was unwilling, and the two soon had a quarrel and pushed each other, and during the dispute, Zhang Liping also kicked He Xiong. He Xiong was kicked and hurt, lost his reason on impulse, dragged Zhang Liping to death by pulling a packing rope, and hid her body on the second floor. At night, he asked his wife to go home first, and after closing the door himself, he drove around the road to the Houhao River, and after confirming that there was no one around, he threw the body. ”

After talking about this case, Zhang Bin glanced at the old man, and found that there was still no movement, so he couldn't help scolding: "Why hasn't the damn moved?" Can you play dead like this? ”

"Leave him alone, let's go on to say that on December 1, 2002, at five o'clock in the morning, it was not yet dawn. A factory called Sihai Group in Ziyang City, Sichuan Province, has gradually become lively. Sihai Group is a large-scale local private enterprise mainly engaged in pig slaughtering, every morning at about 5 o'clock, pig dealers from Sichuan Province and even the whole country will gather in front of the open space in the factory area to trade with the manufacturer for pig trading. ”

At this moment, Zeng Wen and Xiaoying, female cashiers in their 30s, walked out of the "vault" at the other end of the vacant lot. Since the pig trade requires a lot of cash, and the bank cannot open at 5 o'clock, the cashier of Sihai Group has to take the cash needed for the next day every night and place it in a specially set up vault in the factory. Zeng Wen's bag had 410,000 yuan in cash at this time. ”

Everything was normal, Zeng Wen and Xiaoying had just stepped out of the threshold, and suddenly Xiaoying felt a shock in her ears, and then a sound similar to firecrackers rang out, and she didn't realize it was gunfire at that time. Xiaoying immediately found that her colleague Zeng Wen fell to the ground, still moaning "pain". As soon as Xiaoying went to help Zeng Wen, a man came out of the darkness and quickly snatched the bag containing cash in Zeng Wen's arms. ”

The pig dealers on the other side of the site also heard the movement at this time. They quickly gathered around, and someone with a knife in his hand tried to grab the man. Some witnesses later said that when the man retreated outside the hospital, an accomplice emerged, and two people stood side by side back to back, both holding guns in their hands, and fled in a fan-shaped formation. Someone in the crowd tried to subdue them, but they immediately heard a second gunshot, only this time in the air to try to warn them. Everyone couldn't, so they had to watch the two prisoners disappear without a trace on motorcycles. ”

"Because the sky is not yet dawn and there is no light, everyone did not see the appearance of the murderer, but could only vaguely see that he was wearing a felt hat in the shape of a Lei Feng hat on his head, he was not tall, and other details could not be seen clearly. Zeng Wen, the cashier, died of his injuries soon after being taken to the hospital. The police recovered the cartridge casings at the scene, but the cartridge casings further complicated the case. ”

"After the identification of technical experts, this shell is not a private homemade or smuggled abroad, but a standard weapon produced by a regular Chinese military factory, and the shell is numbered. According to ballistic analysis and eyewitness testimony at the scene, the killer was holding a long gun with holes in the body, and the police believed that the bullet should have been fired from a military submachine gun produced by a Chinese professional military factory. ”

"Soon, some people in the periphery picked up a felt hat at the railway crossing 1 kilometer away from the factory where the crime occurred, this hat seems to be the same style as the suspect was wearing at the time, but this kind of hat is very popular in the local area, and even many people in the freezer department of Sihai Group wear it, and the police can't be sure whether it was left by the suspect for the time being."

"Huge sums of money were robbed, murder was made, and possession of a military submachine gun, and the case quickly received the attention of the Ministry of Public Security. Because the murderer's goal is very clear, he did not hesitate at all, and it can be seen that he is a person who knows the work schedule of Sihai Group every morning. So the police first thought that they should see if there was a possibility of internal employees guarding and stealing. ”

"After more than one month, all 414 employees were investigated, especially for the social relations of the victim Zeng Wen, and the police did not find any suspicious points."

Soon, the police obtained information that a local underworld gang had said that it was going to rob the money of the Sihai Group. After deployment, all members of this gang were quickly wiped out. However, the leader of the gang said that they did have this idea before, but before they could start implementing it, someone else took the lead. And it was later confirmed that the gang members did not have the time to commit the crime. However, the police got a message from the ringleader: they knew that the Sihai Group had a large amount of cash transactions every morning, and they learned from the pig dealers who dealt with the Sihai Group! ”

The police immediately screened the list of all pig dealers in the Sihai Group in the past two years, and found that there were more than 10,000 people in Sichuan and many provinces across the country. This kind of acquisition for retail investors has a huge population mobility, and it is normal for people to come today and not tomorrow. And any of these people may inadvertently or inadvertently reveal the news to others, and after word of mouth, I don't know how many people will be able to know about the Sihai Group. If the police want to lock down the suspect through this way, it is simply an impossible task. ”

"It became impossible to break through the case from a human point of view, so the police changed their thinking and decided to start with guns. As we all know, the control of guns in China is very strict, and there is almost no way for ordinary people to get guns, let alone regular military guns? ”

According to police analysis, there are only two ways to obtain military firearms:

1. Those who have access to military firearms at work. For example, the police, the army, banks and other escort departments, etc. However, after careful investigation, not a single gun was found missing in the area and its surroundings.

2. The offender obtains it through illegal means, such as snatching a gun, etc.

Soon, some investigators noticed that three months before the crime, that is, in August 2002, there had been an incident in Feng County, Shaanxi Province, in which an armed police sentry was killed and a gun was seized. In the gun-snatching accident that occurred in Fengxian County, the gun that was snatched away was a military submachine gun. The crime occurred at a railway intersection deep in the Qinling Mountains. At 2 a.m. on August 30, 2002, Cao Jianqiang, a soldier of the armed police standing guard alone, was found dead by a comrade-in-arms who had come to change his guard, and was shot in the temple with a gun, and Cao Jianqiang's submachine gun was also missing. It was determined that Cao Jianqiang was killed by a homemade pistol. ”

"This case happened just 3 months before the Ziyang robbery and homicide case, so could it be related? However, because the sentry box was located in an inaccessible place and the incident occurred in the middle of the night, the Shaanxi police did not find any valuable clues after many efforts. ”

"To get back to the point, at this point, despite the hard work of the police, they have not been able to find any breakthrough that can lock down the suspect. Is it really that the criminals get away with it? At this time, the case-handling staff remembered the felt hat handed over by the masses, and this was their only clue. ”
