Chapter 553 Investigation and Interview

In Dongzhou, a civilized city that has always been known for its safety, such a brutal case occurred. The victim was a woman, and public opinion and superior authorities took it very seriously.

Following the old rules, Nie Chaofan and the others went to the scene and conducted a large number of visits, but they did not find even a single clue in the process.

conference room.

Nie Chaofan put out his cigarette butts in the ashtray with a sullen face, staring at the interrogation room surveillance video on the wall without saying a word.

Xiao Ma shook a piece of paper with finger prints on it and said, "Detective Nie, Zhao Zhiguo doesn't look like a criminal suspect. Could it be a mistake?"

Nie Chaofan stared at the monitor without moving, and said quickly: "Zhao Zhiguo has been in prison for several years. This kind of person has extremely strong anti-reconnaissance capabilities. It is not as simple as you think. I have read his criminal record, seeking punishment and causing trouble." , also because of what women did.”

Xiao Ma hesitated for a long time and said: "Then Zhao Hui looks like he doesn't know anything at all. I always feel that these two people"

Nie Chaofan thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "Lao Cao and the others judged that Wang Xia's death time was between 23:30 and 1 o'clock based on the stomach contents, but the records of these two people said that they did not meet him until after 2 o'clock in the morning. Wang Xia said goodbye. These two must have lied! Haha, I’m afraid he’s a fool too.”

Could it be that Lao Cao made a mistake? Forensic medicine seems quite mysterious, and I always feel that it can only be used as a reference. An idea passed through Xiao Ma's mind, but he didn't mean to question his colleagues at all.

Xiao Ma naturally believes in criminal suspects with bad records and colleagues who work hard and stay up late.

"Tan Nie, although Wang Xia's hymen has fresh signs of rupture, there is no gold liquid in it; the DNA in her fingernails also does not match Zhao Zhiguo and Zhao Hui. Could it be that it was produced after Wang Xia and Zhao Zhiguo separated? thing?"

Nie Chaofan narrowed his eyes and said slowly: "Wang Xia's body was thrown into the ditch. After the river washed it in the middle of the night, all the things you mentioned must have been washed away."

Xiao Ma blushed, regardless of the fact that the old detective in front of him had been with him since graduation. He respected his master the most, and argued loudly: "Since you said they were all washed away by the rain, why are you still wearing Wang Xia's eight fingernails?" Extract the DNA of a third party!”

"Detective Nie, what you said are all our speculations. This is indirect evidence. Only confessions cannot conclusively determine the case! I still insist that Wang Xia met her on the road after they separated from Zhao Zhiguo and Zhao Hui. The person whose DNA was captured! And this person is the direction we should focus on!"

Nie Chaofan pointed to a purple-red backpack on the table: "The masses picked it up eight kilometers away from the body dumping site. It contained Wang Xia's ID card, women's leather shoes and a makeup box. Two places. Such a long distance means he must be driving a car.”

The pony took a step forward and said stubbornly: "Maybe this third party is also driving the car!"

"Enough!"

Nie Chaofan slammed the table.

After being silent for a long time, he said with a ferocious face, word by word slowly coming out of his mouth: "Wang Xia's first time in Dongzhou, this is a remote corner where there are no people and no surveillance. If there is a random murder, ? Let me ask you, what’s next for this case?”

Criminal investigation actually relies on two things to solve crimes. Physical evidence, such as blood stains, murder weapons, fingerprints, DNA, witnesses, etc.; and then there is the human heart, which determines the motivation and whereabouts of the criminal through careful consideration of the criminal's psychology.

Especially in the early years, when science and technology had not yet reached a certain level of practicality, the police still focused on motives in detecting murder cases. They investigated relatives, friends, creditors, those with emotional entanglements, and those with financial disputes, and repeatedly targeted these people.

Unmotivated random killings are the most difficult murders to solve.

Most of the backlog and pending cases over the years are of this type.

The current case of Wang Xia's murder has attracted too much attention from society and even the whole world. Even though some experienced criminal policemen are well aware of the fishy nature of this case, no one dares to first suggest that it was a random killing and then put it into practice. The case is on hold for now.

After all, the person in charge of the case was Nie Chaofan, so he had to raise it if he wanted to.

When Nie Chaofan saw that Xiao Ma had calmed down and stopped arguing, he tried to persuade him but also comforted himself: "Take your time, we still have time."

Xiao Ma gritted his teeth and said, "Tan Nie, it's a four-hour journey. Come back quickly. I want to take people to the hometown of Wang Xia and Zhao Zhiguo."

Twenty years ago, platoon interviews were the first magic weapon for solving crimes.

Nie Chaofan couldn't bear to refuse, but he still had a glimmer of hope: "Okay."

Xiao Ma, who has the unique drive of young people, called the auxiliary police officer in the team who was responsible for driving and rushed to Ontario overnight. Taking advantage of the break in the journey, Xiao Ma sat in the car and ate a few mouthfuls of food before forcing himself to close his eyes and fall asleep.

…

What is indifference?

When a living person dies, nothing seems to change around him. The village is still the same village, the neighbors are still the same neighbors, the relatives, friends and classmates are still the relatives, friends and classmates.

Farm when you need to, work when you need to work, and study when you need to study.

In addition to the shock and sadness at the beginning, I will probably be drowned in this unchanging day in the future.

In fact, Wang Xia's father was packing his luggage when Xiao Ma first came in, and when he asked, he was preparing to go south to work.

"There are still two children to raise." Wang Fu didn't dare to look into Xiao Ma's eyes, but he made it clear.

On the way to Zhao Zhiguo's home, Xiao Ma sat in the car and watched the tall and lush poplar leaves swaying in the wind on the roadside, and watched the people riding bicycles on the road with indifference, and suddenly felt a little lonely. These people seemed to be intertwined with Wang Xia, but in fact they were so clearly separated.

Who else would care about her except the police who were handling the case?

The little girl who was half-naked and fell in the ditch with her face covered by a vest.

Cold.

Everyone was so excited when the incident happened. Public opinion condemned it, leaders in the system paid attention, and the mother who came to identify the body cried.

But maybe after a while, even if the case was not solved, Wang Xia would become unattended. It is said that life is noble, but in Xiao Ma's opinion at this time, does it seem too cheap?

Xiao Ma, who had always been energetic, could only force himself to be energetic.

He and she were strangers, but as a policeman, he cared more about the cause of her death than anyone else.

She was dead, but he wanted to give her an explanation.

Ideals are beautiful, but the results are cruel.

When Xiao Ma stood helplessly in Zhao Zhiguo's empty and dilapidated old house, holding a half-knitted baby wool vest in his hand, he felt very uncomfortable inside.

But the case had to continue.

"Detective Nie, visit the area near Zhao Zhiguo's hometown, and the people around him all said that he was an honest man. They didn't believe that Zhao Zhiguo would commit such a crime as murdering a woman. However, I collected a lot of male DNA that may have had contact with Wang Xia before her death, and I will go back to compare it."

After taking out his mobile phone and sending a WeChat message to Nie Chaofan, Xiao Ma tightly grasped the bag of DNA samples he had just collected, went out, got in the car and rushed back overnight.
