Chapter 193, Death without Evidence
Back in time a few hours ago, Li Xiaogang sent Xiao Li and Xiao Wang away and asked them to go home to rest, saying that he alone would be on duty here.
Although the two of them were worried and afraid that the Liu family would come to trouble them, they did not dare not listen to what Deputy Li said and went home.
As everyone knows, after the two left, Li Xiaogang went out alone to find Zhang Mingjiang, saying that Ping Wang was still a student and the police station had no power to deal with it, so he asked the school to take him back for education.
Zhang Mingjiang was really embarrassed when he heard what his students had done. Of course, he was also afraid of causing trouble and that the families of the victims would ask the school to bear the medical expenses.
Nowadays, the school has little money, and there is no extra money at all. It can't even buy a desk, so it depends entirely on alms.
After thinking about it, Zhang Mingjiang took Li Xiaogang to the class teacher overnight to find out about Ping Wang's family situation. He learned that his father ran a brick factory and had made a little money over the years. He had an idea. He had to find his parents to resolve the matter.
The three of them walked to a village about five kilometers behind the market, but did not find Ping Wang's father Ping Tou. There was only one woman talking in the room, and she didn't even open the door. She said it was not convenient for her to be a woman at home alone, and she would talk to her tomorrow if she had anything to say.
Zhang Mingjiang patiently explained that Pingwang hit someone on his bicycle and asked his father to deal with it.
When the woman heard this, she was unhappy and said that her father was not here and everyone should do their own thing. If you want to beat or kill him, please do as you please. Do you want money?
Zhang Mingwang persuaded her nicely at the door, asking her to find Pingtou and bring her son back first. Otherwise, the family members of the injured would be impulsive and injure Pingwang.
However, the woman killed him with just one sentence, as if Ping Wang was not her biological son at all.
Zhang Mingjiang and Li Xiaogang were both dumbfounded, saying that there was such a woman and such an irresponsible family. It was no wonder that his son would steal a motorcycle.
The three of them had no choice but to force the door open. This was a taboo. If there was really only one woman at home, and they were sued, it was really unclear.
The three of them had no choice but to walk back. They couldn't let a student stay at the police station forever. If something happened, it was hard to tell.
Halfway through, the head teacher suddenly said that something happened at home. His wife might be giving birth and he had to go back and take a look first.
The two of them followed to the homeroom teacher's house.
There was no mention of his wife wanting to have a baby, but as soon as he got home, he closed the door and went straight to bed, saying that even if the parents didn't care, he couldn't take care of it. Anyway, he couldn't take care of this student at ordinary times, so he loved it.
The head teacher is just a substitute teacher, and his usual salary is pitifully low, only about ten yuan a month, and he has long since stopped working. As the principal, Zhang Mingjiang had nothing to do with him. He couldn't force him to do it!
He could only bite the bullet, follow Li Xiaogang back to the police station, and get the person out first.
When something like this happens, as the head of a school, you can't be like the substitute teacher and give up your job temporarily.
What he serves is the iron rice bowl that everyone envies! Moreover, the future is bright, and you can't let the small lose the big. You have to settle this matter at least, otherwise, let alone the principal can't do it, he won't even be able to serve the bowl.
After all these struggles, it was already dawn when we arrived at the police station, and we saw a group of people in the police station at a glance.
Zhang Mingjiang's heart sank, and he realized that something had happened.
Li Xiaogang also looked very angry and shouted loudly, disrupting everyone's position.
At this time, people were also confused. Someone saw it again and said there was someone inside, which scared everyone back.
Li Xiaogang managed to keep his composure, pushed aside everyone, and rushed to the door of the police lockup room in two steps. He turned on the flashlight and saw a man hanging upright.
There was no blood flowing out. There was a leather strap made of pigskin around his neck, and the other end was on the steel bar of a small window about a foot wide for ventilation.
This is like an act of suicide!
Zhang Mingjiang was shocked. He ran in and saw that the man was dead, but he was not sure whether it was Ping Wang.
There are more than two thousand students in a school, and it is impossible for him to name every one of them, but he can be sure that these are the students of the school.
Others were also dumbfounded and looked at this scene at a loss, and they couldn't believe it was true.
Those who are timid want to run away, but as soon as someone is killed, the matter becomes serious and no one wants to get involved.
However, Li Xiaogang was still calm and said in a deep voice: "Put the person down quickly. No one is allowed to leave even half a step, otherwise, hum!"
At this moment, everyone froze in place.
They couldn't tell clearly.
Liu Qihuai also realized that the seriousness of the matter was beyond his control and he didn't know what to do?
Li Xiaogang spoke again: "Everyone just stay where you are, no one is allowed to leave, otherwise everyone will be suspected."
Zhang Mingjiang helped put the person down, but he had been dead for a long time. He was dumbfounded. His student died in the police station. Although it had nothing to do with him, after the parents came, they didn't think so.
Naturally, he did not dare to leave. Fortunately, Li Xiaogang testified, and he had evidence of alibi.
Seeing that everyone did not dare to act rashly, Li Xiaogang sneered in his heart, took out his point-and-shoot camera, and started taking pictures.
Judging from the situation at the scene, Pingwang seemed to have committed suicide or homicide. Otherwise, why would he be beaten at the locked door? According to him, even the door was closed when he went out. Who was it? With the door opened, Liu Qihuai and others became the biggest suspects.
Of course, Liu Qihuai's relatives can testify that he has never left the hospital, but this is not very convincing.
After a while, Xiao Wang and Xiao Li also came to work. Looking at the dozen or so people in the yard, all of them had sad faces, they felt strange.
Li Xiaogang said with a cold face that something happened last night and Ping Wang died! Now, you two are responsible for recording the confession. Everyone present is a suspect and must be taken seriously. No trace can be missed.
Both of them couldn't believe this fact. It wasn't until they saw the body, which was already cold, that they had to believe that the energetic young man who was so arrogant yesterday was really dead.
But I didn't dare to neglect, so I called them into the police room one by one, started asking questions, and took notes to record them in the case.
The person most worthy of questioning was Liu Qihuai. He didn't know anything. He stayed in the hospital and never left the door. He didn't come to the police station until dawn, but he was already dead.
However, he deliberately concealed the fact that someone encouraged him to come to the police station, but said that he just came to ask for an explanation.
After hearing this, Xiao Li said coldly: "Now, I am not here to ask for an explanation, but I am waiting for you to give an explanation."
Liu Qihuai did not dare to contradict Xiao Li, so he could only swallow his anger and said pitifully: "I really have never been here. When I arrived, it was already dawn. Everyone can testify."
"These are your relatives and cannot testify. You said you have been in the hospital unless the doctor testifies for you."
Yes, the doctor is the best proof. If he is not a close relative of himself, he will naturally not protect himself or harm himself.
However, Xiao Li did not ask the doctor to ask questions. Instead, he asked him to stay aside and called the next person in for questioning.
Everyone agreed, saying that they had been in the hospital and followed Liu Qihuai to the police station after dawn. The door was open, and when they entered, they found that Ping Wang was already dead.
