Chapter 052: Farce
Everyone followed me into the kitchen. The remaining internal organs in the bowl have been chopped up, and from the outside, these internal organs are no different from the liver of animals. The entrails had apparently been cleaned, but despite this, there was a faint smell of formalin.
Yang Fan walked up to me and took the bowl in my hand. Yang Fan also thought of something, he sniffed it, and suddenly, Yang Fan's face changed. Everyone is looking at us with strange eyes, Yang Fan and I haven't spoken for a long time, I think, Yang Fan's feeling in his heart must be the same as mine.
"Team Yang, what's wrong?" The criminal policeman who protected Qiu Xinghua's family also sensed that something was wrong and asked.
Yang Fan put the bowl in his hand on the stove in a daze, and he didn't answer the criminal policeman's question, but asked him if anything strange happened last night. The criminal police took turns keeping vigil, and after thinking about it carefully, he said that nothing special happened last night, but the dog barked a little louder.
I remembered the dirt dog I saw when I entered the door, and immediately ran out again. Qiu Xinghua's wife was supported by her son and daughter, and she also followed me back and forth. The dog was chained to the door, and while it was still eating something, I leaned down and took out the bowl from the kennel.
Sure enough, the bowl was filled with raw flesh and offal.
"Can anyone tell us what happened?" Finally, Qiu Xinghua's son couldn't help but ask. From the dossier materials, I knew the name of Qiu Xinghua's family. Qiu Xinghua's son is called Qiu Jianguo, his daughter is called Qiu Xia, and his wife is called Xu Feng.
Although the others didn't know what was going on, they all sensed that something was wrong, only Qiu Xinghua's wife, Xu Feng, was completely unaware. When I entered the door, I felt that Qiu Xinghua's wife was not normal. Her sons and daughters were all sad, obviously worried about their father's crime, but Xu Feng could still explain to us with a smile on the plate.
Yang Fan stared at Qiu Xinghua's family, and finally spoke: "What you eat is human internal organs......
After Yang Fan's words were finished, Qiu Xinghua's family's faces all darkened, and Qiu Jianguo asked again in astonishment: "What did you say?" I noticed that when Qiu Jianguo asked this sentence, his neck shrank and he almost threw up. Yang Fan repeated what he said, and finally, Qiu Xinghua's family couldn't help it, bent over and spit it out.
We were all standing at the door of Qiu Xinghua's house, Xu Feng vomited very much, the sun was very big, and the air was a little stuffy. The three of them vomited for a long time, and they didn't stop until they couldn't vomit anymore. The ground was full of disgusting vomit, and the sour smell of the sun filled the air.
The earth dog, chained, opened its mouth and licked the disgusting thing on the ground little by little.
Not only Qiu Xinghua's family, but all of us felt a tumbling stomach. According to Qiu Jianguo and Qiu Xia, these internal organs were placed on the stove early this morning, and it can be basically determined that these internal organs are the ten deceased. But Yang Fan was more cautious, and immediately asked people to bring the internal organs back to the police station for identification.
Fortunately, formalin has few ingredients, and after high-temperature cooking, Qiu Xinghua's family eats it, and it is fine.
They are all poor people, who know what formalin tastes like, maybe they just feel a little sour, but they are reluctant to throw it away, so they cook and eat it. Qiu Jianguo and Qiu Xia helped Xu Feng sit back at the small table, and this time, Xu Feng couldn't laugh anymore.
I concluded that Qiu Xinghua had come back last night. Yang Fan sent people to search the mountain for a whole night and did not find it, but no one expected that Qiu Xinghua would dare to run home. When I was thinking like this, the police station called and made a preliminary determination that those internal organs were indeed deceased.
After confirming the news, Qiu Xinghua's family retched again. I had been observing Xu Feng's expression, Xu Feng gritted her teeth and grabbed the corner of the table with one hand, and I saw resentment in her eyes.
It is impossible for Qiu Xinghua to appear at home out of thin air, and he can unconsciously bypass the criminal police who are keeping vigil and enter the house, which shows that there is definitely more than one entrance and exit in this small house. After the incident, Yang Fan had already led people to inspect Qiu Xinghua's home, and did not find anything abnormal.
Now, we had to search Qiu Xinghua's house again, and finally, I found a small crack in a wall. The walls are made of bricks, but the bricks of this place can be removed. One by one, we removed the bricks, and finally, a small hole appeared in front of us that we could drill through.
"This time I was derelict in my duties." Yang Fan frowned, staring at the small hole. This small hole is connected to the back of the house, and there is a stinky ditch outside, Qiu Xinghua must have stepped on the stinky ditch and came in from here.
Yang Fan is indeed derelict in his duties, this is not a crime scene, but the residence of the suspect. He brought people to search for it, but it was just a routine matter to see if he could find more tools for committing the crime in the suspect's home and ask the suspect's family.
"It's no longer a place for you to live in." I said to Xu Feng.
Xu Feng nodded stunnedly, and took the two children back to the police station with us. The news of Qiu Xinghua's murder and dirty digging has already spread in the village, and when we came out, many villagers gathered around to look outside. Yang Fan asked Qiu Xinghua's home to be completely sealed off, and no one was allowed to approach.
On the way, I kept thinking about Qiu Xinghua's purpose of bringing the offal home for everyone to eat. Xu Yi took my hand and didn't say a word, and it could be seen that she, like Shen Nuo, was also disgusted.
After returning to the police station, at my request, Yang Fan re-questioned Qiu Xinghua's family. Qiu Jianguo and Qiu Xia's questioning process is very simple, they have been away all the year round, and they don't know when their father has become such a murderous maniac. In their impression, Qiu Xinghua was an amiable person. This is more consistent with the records in the dossier, Yang Fan asked the people in the village, and everyone said that Qiu Xinghua usually treats people well, and no one expected him to do such a thing.
I focused my inquiry on Xu Feng.
"Ms. Xu, how is your health in the past two years?" I got straight to the point and asked what I wanted to ask. Yang Fan was slightly shocked, he didn't know how I could ask such a question, but he didn't interrupt me.
Xu Feng sat facing us, her hands crossed and placed on the table. She was in her forties, a peasant woman, her hands were dark and rough, and when I asked the question, she was a little nervous, and her hands clenched each other, constantly rubbing against each other, and using a lot of strength.
"It's not good, I haven't been able to get out of bed since last month......" Xu Feng replied.
"How is your relationship with Qiu Xinghua?" I asked again.
Xu Feng: "Very good......
"You're lying!" As soon as Xu Feng answered, I opened my mouth to interrupt her. Xu Feng suddenly became more nervous, she quickly shook her head, and said that she was not lying.
"Professor Li, this?" Yang Fan was puzzled and asked.
Xu Feng lied when she answered my two questions. Yang Fan said that Xu Feng was seriously ill a few days ago and couldn't even get out of bed, but when I went to see her today, where did she look sick, she was supported by her children, and she was pretending to be at all. If a person is born with such a serious illness, it is impossible to get better so quickly, so Xu Feng's illness is faked.
And Xu Feng's expression told me that her relationship with Qiu Xinghua was not good. Qiu Xinghua asked Xu Feng to eat people's internal organs, and Xu Feng's eyes showed resentment, which can be explained, but when I went to Qiu Xinghua's house, Xu Feng could still laugh, which was not normal.
"Ms. Xu, the above is just my guess, if I guess wrong, please don't be surprised." That being said, I'm pretty sure that Xu Feng was lying.
Finally, under my aggressive tone, Xu Feng couldn't stand it anymore.
She cried and nodded, telling the truth. She said that Qiu Xinghua's previous personality was indeed very good, but since Qiu Xinghua went on a long trip, Qiu Xinghua's mood has become very unstable, and when he lost his temper, he often beat and scolded her, and even quarreled several times, Qiu Xinghua picked up a kitchen knife. Qiu Xinghua would have repaired diesel engines, engraved letters, and made some money to make a living, but since half a year ago, Xu Feng has been working in the farmland, as for Qiu Xinghua, during that time, he went out early and returned late all day long, and asked him what he was doing, Qiu Xinghua didn't say.
Xu Feng couldn't stand Qiu Xinghua's beating and scolding, and pretended to be sick, Xu Feng found that since she didn't get out of bed, Qiu Xinghua's temper had improved a lot, so she simply kept pretending to be sick. On the night of the crime, Qiu Xinghua never went home, Xu Feng wished that Qiu Xinghua was dead outside, so she didn't go out to look for it, but she didn't expect that Qiu Xinghua would run away to kill someone.
After the incident, Qiu Xinghua was not caught, Xu Feng was afraid that the revelation would annoy Qiu Xinghua, so she didn't dare to tell the truth to the police, and she was not so afraid until the two children went home.
When Xu Feng said this, his tone was full of resentment. Yang Fan was dumbfounded when he heard it, he didn't expect that there would be this farce between Xu Feng and Qiu Xinghua. Yang Fan came back to his senses: "Professor Li, what does this have to do with Qiu Xinghua's crime?" ”
"Don't you think there's a problem with Qiu Xinghua's temperament drastic?" I asked rhetorically: "When Qiu Xinghua was far away, it was very problematic. ”
A person does not change his temperament for no reason, unless he is stimulated by the outside world.
I asked Xu Feng the specific time and destination of Qiu Xinghua's departure, Xu Feng said that it was six months ago, and the specific date was not clear, and Qiu Xinghua did not say where he went, so he packed his luggage and hurriedly went out. That time is half a month.
At this moment, Yang Fan's office was knocked open, and it was someone from the identification department who entered. Further identification results of the internal organs in Qiu Xinghua's home have come out. The people from the identification department told us that they had restored Qiu Xinghua's blood stains from those internal organs......
