Chapter 19: Martin Boots

Another homicide.

So far, there have been two homicides in Pinghe City, both of whom were gangsters from demolition teams and had participated in violent demolition attempts.

The most critical thing is that the cause of death of the two deceased is the same, both of them were beaten to death by the murderer with a metal baseball bat, and it was a unilateral and overwhelming beating, and the deceased had no power to fight back.

Findings at the site also showed that no valuable clues were found, except for one footprint.

The technical team's on-site investigation and the preliminary autopsy by the forensic doctor were soon over, and we returned to the Public Security Bureau together as the body was loaded onto the body truck.

We handed over the footprints collected at the scene of the crime this time, as well as the Martin boots found from the home of freelance writer Wen Xinghai, to Jiang Tingbai, and he carried out the trace examination.

The Forensic Department prepares to conduct further autopsy work through autopsy to look for more clues.

Because the serious crime team came out of the scene, Wen Xinghai's interrogation work was handed over to the criminal police of the criminal police team, and after we came back, the interrogation work was over, but Wen Xinghai was still detained in the interrogation room.

I got Wen Xinghai's interrogation record, the interrogation work of the criminal police is not very regular, and Wen Xinghai's answer is also very cooperative.

Overall, Wen Xinghai refused to admit guilt to the charges in Liu Yuqi's murder case, but he had no way to provide his alibi, and similarly, our police did not have any definite evidence to charge him.

Those Martin boots are the only evidence, as long as the results of the trace examination match the results, we can officially arrest Wen Xinghai.

In the office of the Interpol team, we had another case analysis meeting.

The deceased, Wei Qizhi, aged 26, a native of Pinghe City, graduated from high school, and after dropping out of school, he mixed into the society, and had a criminal record, and was dealt with by the police for fighting and brawling seven years ago, but not because of violent demolition. Four years ago, he followed this demolition company as a thug and has been under Wang Dakai.

According to the preliminary autopsy by the medical examiner, the time of death was between 10 and 12 o'clock last night, and the detailed time of death will be known through the autopsy.

"These two cases can now be investigated together." I said in a deep voice.

"In the two homicide cases, the deceased were gangsters who violently demolished, and many possibilities of the case were ruled out, and the murderer's target was obviously violent demolition." Lin Zifan said seriously.

Li Meng nodded, combined with his own criminal profile, and gave his own thoughts: "The murderer must have experienced violent demolition, so he especially hates this kind of behavior and is retaliating in his own way." ”

"So, did the murderer experience violent demolition before, or did he experience this violent demolition?" I asked a very crucial question.

If the murderer is the victim of this violent demolition, then the scope of our investigation has been narrowed down a lot, and we only need to start an investigation from the demolition households.

But if the killer has experienced violent demolitions, our investigation is very difficult.

Because there have been many violent demolitions, none of which have been reported to the police and there is no case record, even if our serious crime team has the authority to obtain the internal information of the public security organs, there is no way to inquire about it.

And the scope of the inquiry is nationwide.

Because it is very likely that the murderer experienced violent demolition in any location in the country several years ago, and many years later, launched an act of murderous revenge against the violent demolition.

After listening to this, Li Meng gave us a supplementary criminal profile: "When the murderer was young, his family experienced violent demolition, and this incident was like a nightmare, which has always accompanied the murderer. Now the murderer has the ability to protect his family, or protect the demolition households, but because there is no way to protect and help him, the murderer decides to kill people to punish the crime while protecting the demolition households. ”

"Sure enough, it's the demeanor of a hero, I admire this person." Xue Hang said lightly.

The fact that a cop appreciates a murderer sounds somewhat ridiculous.

However, the murderer's behavior of punishing evil and promoting good, eliminating violence and peace and goodness is indeed enforcing justice. It's just that in this way of administering justice, the wrong times have appeared.

If hundreds of years ago, or even thousands of years ago, in ancient times, in that era when the Qing officials did not come to an end, this kind of hero who came and went without a trace, overrode the law, and kept the peace of one party, was indeed admired.

Even, these heroes became the official positive figures of the government at that time, Guo Jing guarded Xiangyang, and the five rats were in Tokyo, which were reflected in various literary works.

It's just that now is an era of rule of law, and if there are still heroes recognized by everyone, then it can only be said that it is the sadness of the times, the sorrow of the law, and the sorrow of us as law enforcers.

In the era of the rule of law, above the law, there is no need for heroes, and no one can be above the law to implement justice, even if this kind of justice is recognized by the public, it is still not good.

I took a deep breath and suddenly asked a very important question: "Have you ever wondered how this murderer learned about the violent demolition?" And by what means did they lock down the identities of the gangsters who participated in the violent demolition? On top of that, the two deceased died in unmonitored woods in the park or in unmonitored weeds on the side of the road. According to the investigation of the identities of the two deceased, their residences are not in that vicinity. ”

"You mean, the murderer asked them out?" Li Meng asked me suddenly.

"In a word! If they hadn't been asked out, how could they have gone out at night? If Liu Yuqi is eating barbecue near Xicheng Park, then there are forgivable circumstances. But what about Wei Qizhi this time? There are no barbecue restaurants near the outskirts of the eastern part of the city, and the few remaining homes have been razed to the ground during the demolition work. I said earnestly, raising the question in my mind.

"These are a bunch of gangsters who can't afford to be unprofitable, and it's not easy to ask them out, and it's not easy to meet them alone." Xue Hang said lightly.

After a while, Jiang Tingbai walked into the office of the criminal police team and brought us the latest news from the trace examination department.

"I compared the footprints of the two crime scenes, combined with trace examination, footprint analysis and stride length reasoning, and determined that the footprints left at the two crime scenes were the same person, which was a serial homicide case." Jiang Tingbai said in a deep voice.

"Is Wen Xinghai a murderer?" After listening to him, I immediately asked.

Jiang Tingbai slowly shook his head and said, "The degree of wear and tear of Martin's boots is inconsistent with the footprints found at the scene, he is not a murderer." ”
