Duan Ming retrieved the alarm records and alarm records of the fire accident at Wang Wenhui's home at the 119 alarm center. The person who called the police was indeed Wang Qianshan. Judging from the phone number, Wang Qianshan should have used a PHS at the time.
The time of receiving and dispatching the police was around 5 a.m. on November 13, 2001. This time happens to be when people sleep the deepest.
According to the civil affairs department, the time when Wang Qianshan and Zhang Xiuwen registered for divorce was November 18, 2001, which should be after Wang Wenhui and his wife held their funeral. Wang Qianshan seemed to be very anxious to divorce Zhang Xiuwen, to the point where he didn't want to wait more than a day.
All these prove that what Zhang Xiuwen said is true, and are more consistent with the logical sequence of Wang Qianshan's speculation that he killed first and then "escaped".
At the same time, Duan Ming also brought an accident investigation report from the local fire protection agency on that year.
Ma Hongwen took a cursory glance and was quickly attracted by some of the details. He immediately read it carefully from beginning to end, word for word.
Although this report is only based on preliminary identification of the fire scene, judging from its content, it is enough to classify the accident as a "fire" rather than an "arson."
The identified cause of the fire was basically consistent with what Zhang Xiuwen said.
The problem is that the preliminary identification results of the bodies of Wang Wenhui and his wife at the scene after the fire was extinguished were enough to make Ma Hongwen's jaw drop.
The preliminary on-site identification is based on various signs that can be observed on the body with the naked eye, and does not require an autopsy on the body.
According to the report.
First, the body was charred and even partially charred. If the hypothesis that Wang Qianshan killed his parents is true and he stayed at the fire scene afterwards, it can be seen from this that he only called the police after the fire burned for a long time.
Secondly, the bodies of the couple were curled up. This is because the burning of fire will make the hands and knees curl up. The arms will also be bent in front of the chest. This phenomenon occurs because under the action of high temperature, the muscles of the limbs are thermally coagulated and contracted, thereby affecting the joints. The flexing muscles are stronger than the stretching muscles, so this phenomenon of curled limbs is formed.
Wang Wenhui's body had its eyes and mouth open, lying curled up on its side on the floor, less than 1 meter away from the bedroom window; the old-fashioned safe, which was originally located in the corner, fell sideways on the floor, pressing on one of Wang Wenhui's palms, burning with fire. The burning, high temperature and high pressure of the safe turned the pressed palm into a pile of charcoal powder.
Ruan Xianglan bit her teeth and lips, and her body lay curled up on its side on the bed.
The problem is that these symptoms only appear in people who are burned alive.
At the same time, Wang Wenhui's body was not far from the window, which shows that he most likely had escaped during the fire. The overturned safe indicated that he most likely wanted to step on the safe, then climb onto the window sill and jump out of the window to survive. Due to his unclear vision and the tremendous force he exerted before his death, he accidentally knocked over the safe and smashed it into his own hand.
If we say that Wang Qianshan has done a lot of research on traditional Chinese medicine, and by analogy, he is quite familiar with the symptoms on the corpse after a living person is burned. There are even cases where the first reaction of a living person after encountering a fire is to run away. It is reasonable to think carefully, and then arrange the parents' corpses in various shapes that match the above appearance before setting the fire.
The key is that there is a lot of soot in the mouth and nostrils of the deceased. When the fire burns the body, only the living can struggle out of instinct. Then the more they struggle, the wider they open their mouths, the faster they breathe, and more and more soot is sucked into the mouth and nostrils, ultimately hastening death. .
There was a clear cause of the fire, and there were obvious signs that a living person had been burned to death. In addition, the family members were unwilling to perform an autopsy on the body, and believed it was just a "fire" accident. Accordingly, it is not inappropriate for the fire alarm to regard this as a "fire".
Of course, what Ma Hongwen cares about is not the result of the fire alarm determination. What he cares about is that Wang Wenhui and his wife were burned alive, rather than that their bodies were burned in the fire after being murdered.
The finger bones provided by the old forensic doctor came to mind again. Reminiscent of Wang Wenhui's palm that was burned into charcoal powder, Ma Hongwen could basically determine that the owner of the finger bone should be Wang Wenhui. At the same time, the palms that turned into charcoal powder could not
It would make the fire police who identified the scene realize that Wang Wenhui's body was missing a finger.
If Wang Qianshan did not commit a crime of passion, and it was really a "fire", and Wang Wenhui and his wife simply died in the fire, then Wang Wenhui's fingers that were cut off, chopped off, or chopped off before the fire occurred, that is, during his lifetime, cannot be explain.
There is only one possibility for this contradictory situation: the perpetrator did not actually "kill" Wang Wenhui and his wife, but thought they were dead, and then hurriedly arranged the scene to create various signs of "fire". After the fire broke out, Wang Wenhui and his wife suddenly woke up and tried to survive. However, they were seriously injured and powerless. In the end, they could only be "burned alive."
The question is, how did Wang Wenhui's finger bones escape the fate of being burned by fire? Why did it fall into Wang Yuan'e's hands again?
A fierce conflict broke out between father and son, and they even fought. Wang Qianshan impulsively picked up a sharp weapon and slashed at his father. Wang Wenhui hurriedly stretched out his hand to resist, or tried to snatch the weapon in Wang Qianshan's hand. In the chaos, it was more likely that a finger was cut off.
Afterwards, the severed finger should also be left at the scene. Wang Qianshan took it away and carried it with him, and then "saw the object and missed the person". It is unlikely that he would use it as a memorial to his parents or to express his grief. Even so, it should not appear in Wang Yuange's hands.
Another discovery made by Duan Ming allowed Ma Hongwen to quickly answer this question.
In Wang Wenhui's old house, one of the cement crossbars laid over the kitchen sewer was turned over and set aside. The kitchen of the old house adopts an old-fashioned sewer design. The sewer is not a sealed pipe, but a concave sink, covered with blocky hollow cement horizontal bars as a cover.
Such sewer designs often appear in rural areas and are very old. The location of Wang Wenhui's old home was originally a rural area. With the rapid economic and social development, when Wang Wenhui opened a clinic, the place had developed into an urban-rural fringe, and now it has become an urban area.
This kind of sewerage facility is easy to produce odor, and can easily make the kitchen damp and breed mosquitoes. Wang Wenhui probably wanted to replace the sewer with a seal, so he started repairing it.
In addition, the gas pipeline is laid along the sewer, embedded in another groove, and flush with the ground. The pipe *** extends along the bottom of the wall corner, passes under the stove, and is close to the drain pipe of the sink.
These are consistent with the records in the fire accident investigation report that year, indicating that after the fire, the old house was still repaired according to its original appearance without any changes.
Since no one has lived there, the sewers Duan Ming saw were naturally very dry.
Then think of the old forensic doctor who speculated on the environment where the finger bones might have been stored based on the mummy of the moth gnat on the ring, and the problem is easily solved.
The conflict between father and son should have broken out in the kitchen.
The sewers were being repaired at the time, so Wang Wenhui should also have opened one or even several cement pole covers. The severed finger flew into the sewer through the missing rod cover and landed in an unnoticeable corner.
The fire that followed quickly dried out the sewers. At the same time, the moth gnats inside quickly died due to extreme high temperature or extreme lack of oxygen, and a few of them even died on the ring. Since then, no one has lived in the old house, and the sewers have remained relatively dry. The moth gnats have become mummy "specimens" and have been preserved to this day.
In Zhang Pei's confession, he once said that Wang Yuan'e went back to his hometown and got drunk alone that night.
The lifted sewer rod cover that Duan Ming found was most likely the work of Wang Yuan'e.
The so-called "gold will shine wherever it is" means that even in the corner of a sewer, a gold ring can still shine under the light.
But the shining light of the gold ring left in the sewer, although weak, would only be dazzling if someone discovered it. As for whether its flickering light can be discovered by others, it all depends on God's will.
Maybe it's God's will in the dark.
Wang Yuan'e went to the kitchen that night. Maybe he was wandering around out of boredom, maybe he went to the bathroom connected to the kitchen to use the toilet, maybe he wanted to smoke but couldn't find a fire, and wanted to turn on the stove in the kitchen. Who knows?
Tao.
In short, during this process, the light shining from the ring left in the sewer finally intersected with Wang Yuan'e's line of sight at a fixed angle.
Out of curiosity, Wang Yuan'e opened the pole cover and finally found his fingers that had become bones.
He was most likely taken aback.
After calming down, he carefully took out the finger bone and then took off the ring. He also discovered the three words "Wang Wenhui" engraved on the inside of the ring.
What this meant, Wang Yuan'e quickly realized what it meant.
So, he drank a lot of wine that night, and used the wine to talk to Zhang Pei about Wang Qianshan.
There is no doubt that Wang Yuan'e is also suspicious of Wang Qianshan. Read the book
Before the discovery of this finger bone, Wang Yuan'e probably never thought that his parents' death would be a "homicide", let alone linked the suspicion of the crime to his brother.
But this late finger bone subverted his cognition.
Wang Qianshan was the first person to discover the fire accident and the person who reported it. He also refused to perform an autopsy on his parents' bodies. Only after you have determined that your parents committed suicide and then carefully examine these factors will you get a different flavor and feel horrified.
Thinking back to the increasingly tense father-son relationship between his father and his elder brother, and the fact that as soon as his parents' funeral was over, Wang Qianshan couldn't wait to divorce Zhang Xiuwen, and then eloped with his "new sister-in-law". All these signs will make him suspicious. Pointing to Wang Ganshan.
