Lu Kai on the other side came over, glanced at Xiao Wu, but shook his head: "It's difficult to establish your hypothesis. There should be very few people who can do domestic violence to you."
Xiao Wu rolled his eyes at him.
Li Zhudao said: "You guys born in the 1990s have never experienced poverty, or even seen it very often, so you don't know how terrible poverty is."
"When I just graduated, I interned at the public security bureau of a poor county and came across a case."
"A peasant woman in the county accidentally sprinkled pesticides on flour at home, but was reluctant to throw away the flour. The peasant woman carefully removed the top flour stained with pesticides and used the remaining good flour to make steamed buns. After eating the steamed buns, the whole family went inside I went to the hospital and my husband died."
"After the peasant woman cried, she thought that steamed buns used a lot of flour, so they were dangerous. She should be fine if she made dumplings and ate them. After eating the dumplings, the whole family went to the hospital again, and her daughter died. The peasant woman did not dare to eat the flour anymore, so she took it away Feed the cows and the cows will die.”
"The neighbor saw people and cattle being killed one after another at her house, so he called the police. After investigation, he found out what happened."
Xiao Wu's eyes widened and he obviously didn't believe it: "Captain Li, did you make it up?"
Li Zhudao spread his hands: "You see, this is because wealth limits your imagination. As ordinary people, we cannot understand the lives and behaviors of super rich people; super rich people cannot understand the lives and behaviors of ordinary people. By the same token, ordinary people It’s also impossible to understand the behavior of these people living below the poverty line.”
Lu Kai suddenly said: "This fully proves one thing..."
Li Zhudao and Xiao Wu looked at him, thinking he was going to say something big.
"The quality of pesticides back then was much better than now."
Lu Kai reminded them of Xiao Wang many times when he spoke.
Seeing that their faces were expressionless but their eyes were staring at him strangely, Lu Kai coughed and relieved himself from the embarrassment, and continued: "I'm not questioning the authenticity of the case that Captain Li said, something like that The forensic doctors in our bureau have also encountered this case, and they always use it to educate us about hard work, diligence and thrift..."
According to Lu Kai, the forensic doctor's name is Yu Dewang.
More than ten years ago, Yu Dewang received a call from the local police station in an impoverished mountainous area, saying that a poisoning case occurred in their jurisdiction: a family was poisoned, the hostess died, and the son was being rescued, and the suspect turned out to be the hostess's biological daughter.
Yu Dewang and his party met the suspect at the police station, the daughter of the deceased, a thin and small woman.
The suspect looked numb and sat blankly in the interrogation room. He only spoke a few words to any question he asked. It was unclear whether he was worried or happy. It seemed that her mother's death and her brother's resuscitation in the hospital had nothing to do with her.
Soon, Yu Dewang and others learned the basic facts of the case: the deceased was in his 60s and the hostess of the family; the poisoning rescuer was 40 years old and the son of the deceased; the suspect was in his 30s and the daughter of the deceased.
That morning, the suspect brought sacrificial meat to the deceased's house. Because that day was the anniversary of her father's death. The suspect made breakfast and cooked white meat, and the family planned to pay homage to their father's grave at noon. Boil a pot of white rice porridge, stir-fry some simple vegetables, and stir them together. This is breakfast.
The suspect's mother and brother were eating breakfast. Halfway through the meal, the mother started vomiting and then fell into coma. The elder brother was at a loss, so he went to find an uncle from a family in the same village.
My daughter didn't have breakfast.
When the uncle arrived at his home, he thought his mother had a sudden illness and needed to be sent to the hospital. The uncle drove the deceased, his daughter, and his son to the village clinic in his family's tricycle.
The rural doctor at the clinic determined within a short period of time that this was not a disease but poisoning, and he needed to be sent to a major hospital immediately.
At this critical moment, the deceased's son disappeared. After searching, he found that his son fell on the tricycle and was also unconscious.
Two members of the family were poisoned and fell into coma. Now only the deceased's daughter can make the decision. The daughter said that her mother and brother were just feeling ordinary physical discomfort, not poisoning at all, and did not need treatment. They could just go home and rest.
At that time, both the uncle and the doctor were confused. Their lives were at stake, so they went home to rest for a while.
Is it okay to just drop it? The uncle decided that he must go to a big hospital. When the uncle and the doctor were taking the patient to a big hospital, the deceased's daughter left first because she had something to do with her old husband's family.
As mentioned before, the rescue result was that the hostess died and her son was being rescued.
Two people were poisoned in a row, but their daughter, their closest relative, reacted strangely. The village doctor thought the matter was strange and called the police.
The police from the police station immediately went to find the deceased's daughter and found that she had not returned to her husband's house at all. Instead, he would feed the chickens in the deceased's home as if nothing had happened. Then he was taken to the police station.
The case is simple. There is no doubt that the daughter of the deceased is the most suspicious, for five reasons: the daughter made breakfast; only the daughter did not eat breakfast; she was unwilling to rescue her mother and brother after discovering they were poisoned, which is also the most suspicious; from a criminal psychology perspective, there are many poisoning cases It is committed by women, because women's physical strength is much weaker than that of men, and they often use indirect methods such as poisoning to commit crimes; the daughter has a long-term bad relationship with her mother and brother, and she has a motive for committing the crime.
The last reason needs to be explained.
Many years ago, while my daughter was working outside, she fell in love with a man from out of town, and they soon started talking about marriage. Young people are in love with each other.
But the daughter's parents did not agree with the marriage. Because their son is not married yet.
In rural areas, especially poor rural areas, it is very difficult for men to marry. On the one hand, they cannot afford the high betrothal gifts, and on the other hand, no girls are willing to marry into such a poor place.
If a man wants to get married, the usual method is for his parents to accept a high betrothal gift to marry off their own daughter, and then use the money from the daughter's marriage to find a wife for their son.
So the mother lied that her father was seriously ill, deceived her daughter back from out of town, put her under house arrest, and forced her to marry a man who was more than ten years older than her because they accepted this man's bride price.
After understanding the case and considering that it was getting late, Yu Dewang and his party were divided into two groups. One group went to the hospital to understand the situation, and the other group went to the deceased's home.
There was still some distance from the police station to the deceased's home, and it was all on a mountain road. Fortunately, there was a small road and the police car could drive directly to the village. Because some kind of mineral was discovered in the mountains near the village, the mining company built a path into the village, so the villagers in the mountains had the opportunity to learn about the outside world.
The deceased's home was halfway up the mountainside. It was a rammed-earth house with three huts, two large and one small, without walls. The two big huts were two bedrooms respectively, and the hut was the kitchen.
In poisoning cases, on-site investigation is very important, because it is difficult to obtain evidence in such cases. Without knowing the composition and source of the poison, the only way to collect test materials is from a large area at the crime scene.
The water source consumed by the deceased, the rice, noodles and seasonings at home, the breakfast eaten by the deceased, vomit, items that may have come into contact, and even the air in the house must be sampled.
After briefly watching the scene, they discovered new doubts. The most important physical evidence, that is, the breakfast that the deceased had eaten was missing, and the pot had been cleaned and there was no leftover food at all.
This is so strange. According to the suspect's account: the deceased developed symptoms of poisoning halfway through his breakfast and then rescued him. In other words, there should be leftovers.
At this time, they thought that when the police found the suspect, she was feeding chickens.
Feed the chickens! Where's the chicken?
After a careful search, a dozen chickens were found behind a house, but they were all dead.
This discovery was very unfavorable to the suspect. Because she refused to send her mother to the hospital, she made excuses to go home just to destroy the evidence. She cleaned up the poisoned leftovers and fed them to the chickens, but the chickens were also poisoned.
All signs point to the deceased's daughter as the murderer, but the most direct evidence is lacking, that is, the source of the poison and the method of poisoning. This evidence can only rely on the suspect's confession.
The next morning, they received a call from the person in charge of the team that went to the hospital: If nothing else, the case was solved.
Did the suspect confess?
No, the suspect's brother was saved. This case was probably an accident.
After the suspect's brother was rescued, he learned through the police that his mother had been poisoned and died. He immediately thought that it might be a salt problem.
He recounted: Two days ago he went shopping on the streets of the village and passed by the mining company.
Si Shi saw a brown bottle in the garbage heap next to him, with a certain salt written on it. When he opened the bottle, it turned out to be fine white salt. He tasted it with his fingers and found it was salty.
Although he also suspected that there was something wrong with the salt, he was taking chances and looking for small gains. He poured the bottle of salt into his own salt shaker and discarded the bottle by the river not far from his home. Read the book
According to the suspect's brother's account, the brown bottle was indeed found by the river, with the words "nitrite" written on it.
What is nitrite? It's extremely poisonous. It looks like table salt, has white particles, and tastes salty.
The most common one is sodium nitrite, which is used as a food preservative and laboratory reagent.
After investigation, it was found that this bottle of nitrite came from the mining company's laboratory.
A mining company randomly discarded highly toxic drugs, but they were picked up by a poor semi-literate man who only knew the word "salt" on the bottle. He took it home and used it as table salt. He poisoned his mother to death, nearly killed himself, and put his sister in jail.
The case has been investigated clearly at this stage. But since the deceased's daughter is not the murderer, how to explain her various abnormal behaviors?
The answers are simple.
The daughter cooked but did not eat because her family status was humble, whether in her husband's family or her natal family. According to custom, she could only eat after her mother and brother had finished eating.
When she learned that her mother and brother were poisoned, she refused to go to a big hospital because in her world there was no option of going to a big hospital. Now that her mother and brother have suddenly fallen ill, her husband must be unreliable. She has no such financial ability at all, and her uncle insists on sending her to the hospital, so she has no choice but to escape.
