So, Wang Xing took people to the second floor of Yuan Shiwen's shop, intending to inspect the scene where Yuan Shiwen said in the text message that he killed Yuan Shijie.
But he worked all afternoon and found no suspicious traces on the sharp corners of the coffee table, not even a trace of blood.
At the same time, there was 5,000 yuan in cash in the drawer of Yuan Shiwen's bedroom.
This is even more abnormal. If he wanted to run away and now was the time to use money, why wouldn't Yuan Shiwen take the cash?
There are various indications that the content of the text messages received by Yuan Shiying and Bao Lei was untrue, and that something really "happened" to Yuan Shiwen.
There is no doubt that whoever sent this text message is the one who caused Yuan Shiwen to "happen".
This target suspect is more clear in Wang Xing's mind. However, he still carried out the investigation in an orderly manner according to Yang Feng's established arrangements, and did not rush for success or create extraneous problems. Finding substantive evidence that can confirm the crime of the target suspect is always the focus of the current work.
Investigations into neighborhood committees, urban funeral homes and hospitals soon yielded results. The information obtained from these places gradually revealed Liu Zhaodi's criminal behavior of exchanging civet cats for the prince and sending the bodies of He Shuangxi and Du Juan to the funeral parlor for cremation.
People from the neighborhood committee told the police that many people are not clear about the process of going to the neighborhood committee to issue a death certificate after someone dies in their family. Even if they know about this, they will find it troublesome, so they will ask the funeral home to transport the body. Liu Zhaodi from the hospital helped go to the neighborhood committee to issue a death certificate.
Year after year, Liu Zhaodi, who went to the neighborhood committee every two days to issue a death certificate, became acquainted with almost all the neighborhood committees in the city.
They had almost no defense against Liu Zhaodi. Sometimes when they were busy, when Liu Zhaodi came over, they would throw her a blank death certificate and ask her to fill it out by herself. They would even stamp an official seal on the blank death certificate just because they were rushing to get off work. Will prove it to her.
On the other hand, the police retrieved all Liu Zhaodi's cremation records from several funeral homes in the city, including her workplace, and compared them with the deceased's information on the two death certificates she filled out. Sure enough, they discovered anomalies.
The two deceased persons were a man named Zhang and a woman named Liu. They were both cremated twice.
Their first cremations were on February 20 and March 18, 2014, respectively, at the funeral home where Liu Zhaodi worked; their second cremations were on January 28 and February 1, 2016 respectively. , located at two funeral homes in different counties.
In other words, Liu Zhaodi cremated these two people twice, which is exactly the same as Wang Xing's speculation.
To be cautious, the police sent people to the homes of the two deceased people. Their families confirmed that they passed away and were cremated in 2014, not 2016.
As for the two people who were cremated by Liu Zhaodi on January 28 and February 1, 2016, everyone knew very well, but they were unable to convict her on this basis: the bodies had been cremated, and there was no evidence of death, and there was no direct evidence.
At the same time, the question was also posed to the relevant hospitals: why two official death certificates were issued to the deceased surnamed Zhang and Liu.
The hospital explained that when someone comes to the hospital to issue a formal death certificate with a voucher issued by the neighborhood committee, the hospital will query the deceased's information through the system, such as name, gender, and ID number, but it will not be able to query any records related to the cremation, let alone any cremation-related records. Whether the deceased has been cremated.
Of course, for these two deceased people who had already issued death certificates, the hospital could check that they had died and the specific time of death. But two years later, why did someone not feel suspicious about this when someone came to issue a death certificate?
The hospital claims that this situation is not uncommon. Even after three or five years, let alone two years, there will still be people who belatedly request the hospital to issue a death certificate.
There are property disputes between the family members of the deceased; the deceased died in a traffic accident, and the family members and the party responsible for the accident have been negotiating on financial compensation to no avail; there are even conflicts between doctors and patients, or they are unwilling to bear the medical expenses of the deceased during his lifetime.
In these cases, the body will remain in the funeral home or hospital, frozen and not cremated.
At this stage of the investigation, it has been basically concluded that Liu Zhaodi's crime method of disposing of the corpse has become natural and inevitable for Liu Zhaodi to be interrogated directly. After all, the two corpses of "unknown origin" she cremated on January 28 and February 1, 2016, were conclusive facts of the crime.
But "inviting" Liu Zhaodi into the police station will definitely alarm Liu Yuanyuan and Liu Jing.
Then "invite the three siblings in."
Yang Feng decided to use the substantive evidence that Liu Zhaodi destroyed the corpse of "unknown origin" as a breakthrough to unravel the disappearances of He Shuangxi, Du Juan and the Yuan brothers from beginning to end. These three siblings are inextricably linked to the disappearance of these four people.
At the same time, Yang Feng also sent people to the funeral parlor where Liu Zhaodi worked to investigate all the corpses in the parlor. Since Liu Zhaodi was able to use his position to cremate two corpses of "unknown origin", it would not be difficult to use his position to hide two corpses in the funeral home. Therefore, Yang Feng believed that the Yuan brothers might have been "hidden" by Liu Zhaodi in the freezer of the funeral home.
The interrogations of the three siblings of the Liu family were conducted at the same time, with Wang Xing in charge of interrogating Liu Zhaodi.
After Wang Xing laid out the evidence one by one, he went straight to the point and issued a soul torture:
"Who were the two corpses you cremated on January 28 and February 1, 2016? Don't give me useless information. The cremation records of the funeral home are very detailed. They can prove in black and white that you sent them for cremation at that time. It’s the corpses of two people, not the air, nor the cats and dogs.”
Perhaps Liu Zhaodi was unable to quibble in the face of overwhelming evidence, or perhaps she had no intention of quibble.
Liu Zhaodi replied slowly and unhurriedly: "It's... He Shuangxi and Du Juan."
"How did they die? In other words, who killed them? Why did they kill them?" Wang Xing asked again.
"I killed them all... They not only hooked up with prostitutes, but also tried to murder my brother and seize his property. They deserve to die." Liu Zhaodi's mood was still very peaceful.
After a pause, he continued: "He Shuangxi dislikes that I deal with dead people all day long and insists on divorcing me. Just divorce me. But after he divorces me, it is not good for him to hook up with anyone, so he hooked up with Du Juan. Even though he knew that Du Juan was Liu Jing’s wife is my sister-in-law, he is shameless and he is bullying everyone in my family.”
"Liu Jing is also useless. Not only does she need my eldest sister to support her, but in the end she can't even look after her own wife."
"Du Juan, this bastard, is no different from He Shuangxi. She is shameless and bullies no one in my family. In order for her to live a good life with Liu Jing, my eldest sister even raised her two children, and she still has to do mischief outside."
"We have tolerated this tone. But this couple actually secretly planned to kill my brother, and then inherit his property in the name of Du Juan. After selling it, they would give the money to He Shuangxi to pay off the debt."
"My eldest sister can bear this tone, my brother can bear it, but I can't bear it... I'll kill them all."
Liu Zhaodi's mood was too stable. It was completely different from the negative behaviors of ordinary prisoners such as psychological breakdown and emotional loss before confessing. She even did not show any resistance to questioning, which made Wang Xing feel extremely uncomfortable.
But this extremely wrong personal feeling cannot be used to prove anything, so I can only continue to ask: "How do you know they are planning to murder Liu Jing?"
"It was Du Juan who said it before she died... I didn't want to kill her, I just wanted to scare her and make her restrain her behavior, but this bitch couldn't help but be frightened, thinking that I knew that she and He Shuangxi had hired a murderer. She wanted to kill my brother, so I told her everything... I couldn't get angry at the moment, so I killed her," Liu Zhaodi said.
"Please explain this matter clearly from beginning to end." Wang Xing said.
After a short silence, Liu Zhaodi said slowly:
"In January 2016, I don't remember the specific day. After Du Juan was kicked out of the house by my brother, she went to find my eldest sister. The eldest sister owed her 100,000 yuan, and she went to her to collect the debt."
"But 100,000 yuan is not a small amount. The eldest sister is not financially well-off to begin with, but she forces the eldest sister to pay back the money immediately. Isn't this deliberately making things difficult?
She was also making use of the topic, venting all her resentment for being kicked out by Liu Jing on her eldest sister. "
"My eldest sister is a conscientious person. She will just swallow her anger when faced with the aggressive Du Juan."
"That night, there were no patients in the eldest sister's clinic. I happened to be looking for the eldest sister, and I saw this scene. The eldest sister could bear it, but I couldn't. Not only did these young men cuckold Liu Jing, but the mistress they found was He Shuangxi. Then he came back arrogantly and forced the elder sister to pay back the money... Humph."
"I wanted to teach this woman a lesson, but I couldn't do it in front of the eldest sister... The eldest sister is too kind and too soft-hearted. If I slap Du Juan in front of her, she will scold me. No, maybe Du Juan was pulled back before the slap hit her face."
"So, I used the excuse that it was too late and there was no room for two people to sleep in the eldest sister's shop, so I invited Du Juan to spend the night at my house. I tried to persuade her to wait until after that night. Besides, I had to raise 100,000 yuan at once, so I had to give the eldest sister some time. , at least we can’t get it together that night.”
"The eldest sister also said that she would get the money together as soon as possible and advised her to go back with me to rest first."
"Dujuan hesitated for a long time, but finally followed me to my house." Kanshu La
"In the early hours of the morning, after Du Juan was asleep, I tied her hands and feet, gagged her mouth, and then slapped her face more than a dozen times at once, knocking her unconscious. "
"After the beating, I had no intention of untying her or listening to her nonsense, so I just put her in the toilet without any changes. Then I fell asleep and decided to wait until I wake up the next day."
