Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Body Is Buried
The patrol officer slipped his foot and rolled down the hillside during the night inspection, and happened to see a man digging a pit to bury something. When I looked closely, it was a corpse.
Lao Ji led the team to the scene, the man's name was Li Wendong, nervous and scared but wanted to stop talking. Lao Ji had to examine the body first, the deceased was covered in blood and wounds, and it was obvious that he had fought with someone else before his death. But the strange thing is that Li Wendong has no traces of fighting.
Amy checked and found that the deceased was wearing a shirt but no tie, and there were blue fibers on his neck, combined with the strangulation marks on his neck, Lao Ji boldly guessed that the deceased was strangled by his own blue tie.
There is also some unknown white powder on the forehead, which may have been left by the murderer. The medical examiner conducted an autopsy, and the deceased was shot three times, but none of them hit the vital point, and the real cause of his death was suffocation, and the blue fiber on his neck was the material of the tie.
At this time, the test results of the powder came out, which was low-gluten flour, which is often used to make noodles, and it happened that Li Wendong worked in a noodle restaurant. Li Wendong hurriedly explained: He is a food delivery person, and he will not enter the kitchen at all, and he will not be able to touch flour.
But after further examination, the caliber of the bullets on the deceased's body was the same as Li Wendong's gun, and Li Wendong wanted to say that his gun had been lost a long time ago, and those corpses had nothing to do with him.
Lao Ji suddenly reacted, those corpses? The police hurriedly returned to the scene of the crime, and soon they found the second body, in the face of all this, Li Wendong said very sincerely: "I am really not a bad person" In the eyes of Lao Ji, Li Wendong is just talking nonsense.
After checking that the deceased's wallet was still there, it showed that the murderer's motive for killing was not for money, but perhaps because of personal vendettas. At this time, a monk came over, he knew that Li Wendong had been arrested, and he said: Li Wendong is a devout believer, with a pure and gentle personality, and it is impossible to be a murderer.
Hearing this, Lao Ji was furious, facing the two corpses, all kinds of ironclad evidence, just because he was a believer, he didn't doubt him.
On the other side, the police brought news that they found Li Wendong and the deceased's car at a gas station not far away. The employee said that he was fishing and playing with his mobile phone to watch a video, and when he looked up, there were two more cars at the gas station, and there were blood stains under the cars, but he was afraid of being held accountable by the boss, so he wiped the blood stains and pretended nothing happened.
Lao Ji asked the monk to accompany him to inspect Li Wendong's car, and there were a lot of blood stains in the car, but in the face of all this, although the monk was shocked, he insisted that Li Wendong was a good boy, he was innocent, and even if he made a mistake, it was just to please others.
Hearing this, Lao Ji was in a fog, and he didn't understand why the monk wanted to defend Li Wendong everywhere, but the evidence shattered the monk's remarks again and again. Both deceased were shot, and the caliber of the bullets matched Li Wendong's gun.
In addition, their socks have red fibers, which really come from the carpet on Li Wendong's car, and the blood stains in the car also belong to the deceased, and the evidence is already clear.
Lao Ji suddenly began to think from the perspective of a monk, and these evidences can only show that Li Wendong participated in the transportation and burial of corpses, and there is no conclusive evidence to prove that he killed the person.
The murderer's motive may have been because of personal grudges, Lao Ji investigated Li Wendong's background, but his background was as clean as clear water, but his brother was different. This person is like Hawkeye who was supervised by the government after a fight with Iron Man, and he has countless criminal records.
Lao Ji found Li Wendong and mentioned that his brother Li Wendong didn't say a word, and shed tears, like a wronged child. At this time, Lao Ji seemed to understand something, and his brother may have nothing to do with it.
Different from the younger brother's reticence, the elder brother vented his bitterness to the police, he said: The younger brother confessed to him that he killed someone, and he did not report his younger brother out of family affection. And there was someone passing by, so he had to kill the passer-by, but the man didn't die even after three shots, and the younger brother simply strangled the man with a tie.
Lao Ji thought that the monk had said that Li Wendong had a very gentle personality, and he didn't seem to be angry and kill people because of such a trivial matter, but his brother was more suspicious. He said as if he had experienced it himself, and the most important thing was that his job was to make a noodle restaurant, so he could come into contact with low-gluten flour.
The police found bloodstained clothes and Li Wendong's missing pistol at his brother's house, but unfortunately the bloodstains and pistol were disposed of. The bloodstains could not detect DNA, and the ballistic marks of the pistol did not match those on the deceased's body, so the brother had to be acquitted.
Li Wendong was very happy to see that his brother was fine, but his brother's next behavior made Li Wendong feel cold. He took the tie that killed the victim to the police and said it was hidden by his brother.
Lao Ji knew that his brother did this just to hide his fingerprints on his tie, and Lao Ji told Li Wendong everything his brother had done. Only then did Li Wendong realize that his brother had set up a game for himself.
He broke down and told the truth: everyone was killed by his brother, he just helped bury the body, and the tie was also taken off by his brother, so his fingerprints were left. His brother was his only relative, and he didn't want his brother to go to jail, and his brother told him that as long as they didn't say anything, the police couldn't do anything about them.
Who would have thought that his brother would actually lie to him and make him guilty. The truth of the case has been revealed, it turns out that the monk defends Li Wendong everywhere because he has long known who the murderer is, and his brother came to him to confess after the incident, he knows the truth, but he can't interfere too much in secular affairs. It's a pity that now all the evidence points to Li Wendong, and the judge only believes the evidence, and Li Wendong was sentenced to life imprisonment.
Lao Ji assured Li Wendong that he would bring the real culprit to justice, but unfortunately Li Wendong couldn't wait for that day, so he chose to bite his tongue and commit suicide. His brother is his last relative, he has sheltered him from the wind and rain since he was a child, he is the object of his longing, and to some extent, it is also his faith, and he can't bear to be betrayed by his loved ones.
Faith collapsed, and there was no point in his life anymore...
