A meeting identified Xiang Zheng and Yan Gang as suspects in this case. It is better to be cautious in this kind of case. There was no investigation on the remaining civil servant. He went to school in Modu to work, and he was transferred back to Changming City two years ago. .
Then check the date of the incident and compare it with their whereabouts.
Finally, Xiang Zheng was identified as the final suspect, mainly because his whereabouts could not be traced at the time of the five cases, and Yan Gang was in court twice...
Xu Zheng originally thought that with the suspect, the case would advance quickly, but they have been looking for evidence for three days now, but all the evidence is still just speculation, and there is not even the slightest connection to the person currently suspected.
Qu Hou scratched his oily hair that had not been washed for three or four days. He smoked very hard these days and his voice was a little hoarse. "Comrades, maybe it is a good thing that we take longer to handle the case. This murderer knows that we are at the scene of the accidental car accident." Taking away the camera and coin ejector will allow people to relax their vigilance for a longer period of time.”
The police have now secretly tracked and observed the current suspect. Of course, this was approved by the superiors, but this is passive waiting. Obviously, this group of criminal investigation policemen are unwilling, but they have no clues to investigate.
From the traces and evidence, there are no traces of him at the scene. The evidence was either modified or purchased anonymously. But even if it is found that he bought a camera, can't people have some little hobbies?
Looking at the time and motive of the crime, Xu Zheng and the others were scratching their heads. The delivery man suspected it was a verbal dispute, and the young woman who jumped off the building suspected she was unable to court. As for the aunt's heart attack and the accidental homicide in a car accident, the police did not find any connection between them.
At present, the task force has changed its thinking and continues to dig deeper into the unknown accidental homicides committed by the suspects in Changming City.
Sure enough, police resources were skewed, and three more cases were identified in two days. Now, Executive Deputy Director Nie and detachment leader Wan Haihong came over again to encourage the task force.
But Xu Zheng felt that he was trying to cheer him up but was actually putting pressure on him. After they left, Qu Hou was now a little nervous. Sometimes he would lose focus while talking and would not react until the cigarette butt burned.
Of course, the other colleagues in the conference room are all the same. Xu Zheng feels that he is the only one who has not been possessed so far. He is a little frustrated. Could it be that he is not serious about handling the case?
Qu Hou is indeed an experienced veteran detective. A cigarette burned the butt of the cigarette and burned him. He stared at the cigarette butt and slammed the table, "Trace it to the source, yes, let's trace the source... You see, in Changming City, if the suspect's modus operandi is a bit crazy, then he must have done such a case before coming to Changming City.
Also, I checked from when he was a child until he graduated from high school. I calculated that he was 19 years old when he went to college. He is now 46 years old, which is about 27 years ago. It is estimated that even if something like this happened locally when he was in high school Murder cases don’t necessarily have files anymore.
But we still have to check.
Let's divide them into three groups. One group will go to the suspect's hometown and investigate him from his childhood to his graduation from high school. We don't need files from that time, as long as there is a general plot of the case.
The second team investigates the accidental death cases from the suspect's schooling to ten years ago, that is, 2023. They must search several districts in Changming City for accidental death cases during this period.
The third group investigates cases from 10 years ago to the present, focusing on finding clues and evidence. "
After Qu Hou gave the order, he turned to look at Zhang Yuqi, "Captain Yuqi, I can't leave the task force. Can you lead the team to investigate the suspect's hometown?"
Zhang Yuqi nodded, "Okay, let's just have the four of us. We just got along well last time."
Xu Zheng always felt that he would be unlucky under Zhang Yuqi's hands in the future, but the leadership's orders were as big as the sky, so he could only drive the three of them in a police car to the county seat of Liushui County, Yanyan City, Pingjiang Province.
When you go to the local area, you must find a colleague. The local criminal police captain Sun Dacheng has been working as a police officer here all his life. When he learned that his colleagues from Changming City were here to investigate Xiang Zheng, he actually doubted whether the Changming City Criminal Police Detachment was doing something. wrong.
Xiang Zheng is a well-known spokesperson in Liushui County. He is not only a professor at Changming University, but also a member of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference of Liushui County. He has provided economic consulting services to governments at all levels in Liushui County many times and helped Liushui County attract investment. , with remarkable results.
But he may have violated the criminal law. After Zhang Yuqi showed the certificate issued by the Changming City Police, this veteran criminal policeman who was almost fifty years old and about to retire to the second line had to accept the other side of Xiang Zheng.
If you want to understand the environment in which a person grew up, apart from his parents, siblings, there are only neighbors and childhood friends. As he goes to school, there are teachers and classmates. Zhang Yuqi, Xiang Zheng's family and neighbors, does not intend to alarm, so the focus is still on investigating Xiang Zheng's teachers.
Of course, Sun Dacheng, who has worked in criminal investigation for the longest time in Liushui County, is also a key target.
"When you talk about accidental death, it means accidental death caused by man-made things. I have definitely encountered it over the years, but we finally caught the real culprit. The main reason is that their crime methods were rough and there were many clues.
But the accidental car accident and murder case I just heard you talk about, tsk, this method was perfect and the calculation was really deep. "
"Captain Sun, we are here to investigate whether he had committed such a case before going to college. Think about it again, even if it is not an accidental murder case, are there any backlogged cases in Liushui County, or are they related to Xiang Zheng? The case of the missing classmate and teacher.”
Sun Dacheng was lost in memories. He walked with his hands behind his back and muttered, "Captain Zhang, I have a vague impression. Let's do this. I'll go to the archives to check the information. You guys sit here for a while. I need a little longer."
"Captain Sun, we have a very tight task here, so let's go to the school to investigate first." Zhang Yuqi obviously won't waste a minute here, but more than 20 years have passed, and it will be more difficult to find those teachers back then.
"Then don't go to school. I'll ask my colleagues to check for you later. Oh, by the way, there is an old teacher in our county. He is almost 70 this year. He is Xiang Zheng's high school mathematics teacher. Every year, Xiang Zheng Whenever I go back to my hometown, I will visit this old man."
Sun Dacheng finally accompanied Zhang Yuqi and Xu Zheng to visit the old teacher. As for the archives, Zhuang Qiang and Ji Meiyue entered the archives room to check the information with the help of a deputy captain of the Liushui County Criminal Police Brigade.
When I found the old teacher, he was sitting under a small forest playing mahjong. This small forest was crowded with elderly mahjong enthusiasts.
Back at the old teacher's house, Sun Dacheng explained his purpose. Of course the old teacher didn't believe him, so he explained again, and finally huddled in his chair and fell silent with a dejected look on his face.
Xu Zheng was not worried that he would not tell him. As Zhang Yuqi explained to him, this kind of old teachers who stick to their original aspirations and insist on teaching at the grassroots level care about serving the public and the people above all else.
"You want to ask about Xiang Zheng's performance in high school, right? Well, it's been 30 years. He can become a professor, which means that when he was in school, in our eyes, he must be a good student with both good character and academic performance. He is I am proud of this life, I really have some impressions of many things.
I seem to remember that Xiang Zheng and I had an argument in high school. We were divided into arts and sciences classes. He was very good at math at that time, and he also liked math and was a bit partial to subjects. But I didn’t expect that he would choose liberal arts despite his talent in science. I remember when I gave him private tutoring lessons, he was still young at the time, and he often said that mathematics is the basis for the development of everything, and he would like to study it in the future. Mathematics allows everything in the world to be explained using mathematics.
So when I saw that he had applied for liberal arts, I pulled him outside. As a result, we had a quarrel. I remember he said that he wanted to study economics and earn money to buy a large computer to study mathematics.
I was so angry that I laughed. I never thought that he would actually become an economics professor in the end. "
After the old teacher finished speaking, he let out a long sigh and said, "Xiang Zheng, although he looks very cheerful, in fact he has a cold nature. For so many years, we have been good teachers and students to the outside world, but I know since he went to college that we The relationship is that of a pure teacher-student relationship.”
After Xu Zheng listened, he couldn't understand the old teacher's current depression due to his life experience, so he asked casually: "Uncle, is it just a show when he comes to see you every year?"
Zhang Yuqi glared at him, and before Zhang Yuqi could explain, the old teacher waved her hands with a wry smile, "Yes and no, in short, it's hard to say, oh, by the way, I still have Xiang Zheng's graduation photo here, do you need it? "
Photography technology around 20,000 years ago was enough to allow people to clearly see the faces of these students, and Xu Zheng recognized Xiang Zheng easily.
"By the way, I remember that Xiang Zheng almost failed to take the college entrance examination. The reason was that a classmate in our class had a car accident. He was helping at the scene. When I found out, I rode my bicycle and rushed him into the examination room."
Zhang Yuqi and Xu Zheng looked at each other. Was this uninvited evidence?
On the other side, Zhuang Qiang was fiddling with the long hair on his bald head while looking through the backlog of cases in Liushui County over the past 30 years.
"Brother Qiang, look at this. 30 years ago, a junior high school student disappeared. According to the case report, the case has not been closed yet, which means that the student has not been found.
I just calculated the time, date and school. This missing classmate is Xiang Zheng's classmate.
So I think there is something fishy about this case. "
