Chapter 62: Arrest
Xiao Li drove in front.
Lin Chu and Wang Hai read the file in the back seat.
The file shows that Ms. Pan has been missing for about 20 days, and her father did not report it to the police until five days after her disappearance.
Wang Hai pondered: "Twenty days ago, it was almost the time when the murderer in the skinning case began to commit crimes, is there any connection between the murderer and Pan Meimei?" ”
Lin Chu asked: "Captain Wang, is Pan Meimei the only one in the family of the victims of the elevator accident in Shuanghu Community now?" ”
Wang Hai nodded: "Yes, except for Pan Meimei's disappearance, the rest of the victim's family members have no abnormal problems during this time." ”
Lin Chu asked again: "What relatives did Pan Meimei lose back then?" ”
"She lost her mother, and she was only seven years old that year. Not long after, her father married her a stepmother and gave birth to a younger brother. So I heard that she didn't have a high status in the family either. ”
This doesn't need to be explained by Wang Hai, Lin Chu can imagine it.
The stepmother gave birth to a younger brother, how can the ugly daughter born to the ex-mother be treated well?
This is probably why Pan Meimei disappeared for five days before her father remembered to go to the police station to report the case.
Lin Chu deduced the identity of the murderer before and found a major clue, which was the Shuanghu community.
The Twin Lakes community was of great significance to the murderer, either he had lived there, or he had lost the most important people there, so the killer lured people to the non-existent Twin Lakes neighborhood to kill and skin.
That's why he asked Wang Hai to check whether there was any abnormality in the family of the victim of the elevator accident during the period of the peeling case.
Pan Meimei meets these conditions.
She used to live in the Shuanghu community, and her mother also lost her life in the Shuanghu community.
And now Pan Meimei is missing.
The time of disappearance basically coincides with the time when the murderer in the skinning case committed the crime for the first time.
But just based on these fragmentary clues, it is not enough to say that the missing Pan Meimei is the murderer of the skinning case.
And the time of her disappearance, on the 13th of last month, suddenly reminded Lin Chu of another person - Xiao Gang.
Also on the 13th of last month, Xiao Gang went to celebrate a friend's birthday, but something went wrong.
Could it be ......
Lin Chu suddenly felt a chill all over his body.
At this time, his mind kept floating in his mind the small handful of bloody woman's hair from the van.
Wang Hai put down the report record he had just finished reading, and instructed Xiao Li in front of him to drive the car to Nanya Bay.
Because Pan Meimei's father stated in the report record that Pan Meimei left home five days before the report, she went to the observatory in Nanya Bay, and then never returned.
Pan's father and Pan Meimei had a quarrel at home that day because of some trivial matters, so Pan Meimei didn't go home that night, and Pan's father didn't take it to heart.
It wasn't until Pan Meimei's phone couldn't be reached for five days that Pan's father was in a hurry and hurriedly went to the police station to report the case.
The police receipt in this file shows that after receiving the report, the Wenjiangqiao Police Station sent people to the observatory to inquire and check the surveillance.
It was determined that Pan Meimei came to the observatory alone with an umbrella that day, and also left the normal observatory.
Then he disappeared.
Because the Nanya Bay, where the observatory is located, is in a barren seaside mountainous area, there is no perfect monitoring.
Therefore, there is no way to know the whereabouts of Pan Meimei after leaving the observatory.
More than an hour later, the car drove to Nanya Bay.
There is a small bus stop sign on the side of the road, and next to it is the path to the observatory.
But Lin Chu was more interested in another small stone road, because there was a signboard at the intersection that said XX Farm.
He asked Xiao Li to drive the car in.
Wang Hai was puzzled: "Brother Lin, are you hungry?" ”
Lin Chu shook his head.
Wang Hai was even more puzzled: "Then why don't you go to the observatory and go to the farm?" ”
Lin Chu said: "The people from the police station have already gone to see the observatory before, but they have not found any clues, and I am afraid it will be the same if we go again." But that farmstead might give us something else to gain. ”
The car drove into the farmstead.
Business on the farm was bleak and there were few customers.
Lin Chu asked the boss: "On the 13th of last month, did a group of customers come to your store, they came in white vans, all young people in their teens and twenties. ”
Wang Hai couldn't figure out why Lin Chu didn't ask about Pan Meimei, but asked about other people.
But he felt that since Lin Chu did this, he must have his reasons.
The boss saw that the person who came was a policeman, so he didn't dare to hide it: "There is such a table of guests, because it was raining heavily that day, so I still have an impression." ”
Lin Chu asked again: "Are they here to celebrate someone's birthday, and there is a person named Xiaogang in it?" ”
The boss replied, "It's true that I'm here for my birthday, and I'm here with a cake." But the specific name, so much time has passed, I don't remember it. ”
Even if the boss doesn't remember it anymore, the key information of the white van, birthdays, and young people in their teens and twenties has already made Lin Chu sure that it is Xiaogang and their group.
That day, Xiaogang and the others actually coincided with the location of Pan Meimei's last disappearance.
It's getting closer to the truth.
Lin Chu stood up and said, "Captain Wang, let's go back." ”
Wang Hai asked, "Where are you going back now?" ”
Lin Chu said: "Downtown, arrest people!" ”
……
When the old man saw a large number of police cars parked in front of his shop, he came out in a panic.
I happened to see Lin Chu also get out of the police car.
The old man immediately came over and asked, "Young man, what are these policemen here for?" ”
Lin Chuchu was very ashamed, but it was already this time, and he couldn't hide it anymore: "Old man, Xiaogang is ...... He may have committed something. ”
The old man was incredulous: "Xiao Gang, he ...... He is so obedient, how can he commit a crime? ”
Seeing him like this, Lin Chu couldn't bear it.
But he still only said: "This time Xiao Gang's crime is not small, you can hand it over to the police, they will give Xiao Gang a fair and just treatment." ”
The old man said resolutely: "I also want to know what Xiao Gang did, if he really broke the law, let the police take him away, I ...... I have nothing to say! ”
Seeing that he was so persistent, Lin Chu had no choice but to bring him with him.
When the rest of the police entered the house, they went straight into the garage and sealed the van.
And Lin Chu, Wang Hai and the old man, pushed open the door of Xiaogang's room together.
Xiao Gang was still sitting naked on the ground, with his head buried between his legs.
He heard movement and glanced up.
When he saw Wang Hai in uniform and a large number of policemen in the courtyard outside the door, his originally gloomy and panicked eyes actually showed a trace of serenity.
"You're finally coming to me."
Xiao Gang said very calmly.
It was as if he had been looking forward to this moment for a long time.
Perhaps it is better for him to be able to accept the judgment of the law than to be in this room all day long to guard against those pervasive slugs.
"I have sinned and killed someone, so take me away."
Xiao Gang took the initiative to stretch out his hands and let the police cuff them.
The old man broke down emotionally in the rear: "Xiaogang, you ...... You killed someone? How do you do this kind of thing? ”
Two policemen temporarily invited the emotional elderly man out first.
Lin Chu walked up to him, showed a photo of Pan Meimei, and asked, "It's this girl, right?" ”
Xiao Gang glanced at the photo, both fear and remorse, two lines of tears burst out of his eyes, and he nodded vigorously.
Lin Chu said solemnly: "Tell me, what happened that day?" ”
"On the other day, a friend of mine had a birthday, and a few of us went to a casino to play two games, and we were going to win money, and we went to a five-star hotel to find a woman at night, but we lost everything."
"So in the end, we had to go to the farm where we had paid for the reservation, and then we went back to our respective homes after eating."
"When we were leaving, we saw a woman waiting for the bus with an umbrella on the side of the road. It was already dark, and there was no one and no car in the wilderness, so ......"
So we got up and prepared to rob the woman. Then go to the casino and flip the book. ”
"Unexpectedly, she resisted very fiercely, and there happened to be a car in front of us, so we had to pull her into the car and drive the car in the opposite direction to the city."
"We just wanted to rob the woman at first, but we didn't expect it to turn into kidnapping......"
The more Xiao Gang cried, the more sad he became.
Lin Chu was not sympathetic at all, if the perpetrator could win sympathy as long as he cried twice, would it be fair to the victim?
So he was extremely indifferent and then asked, "What about later?" Why did you kill her? ”
If Pan Meimei hadn't been killed, she wouldn't have been missing for twenty days now, and she hasn't been heard from at all.
And Lin Chu had a hunch that Pan Meimei made a wish to a slug when she was dying.
Her wish is revenge!
But the object of revenge is not only Xiao Gang......
