Another rape field further east contains hairpins, head flowers, wine bottle fragments, peanut shells, braised duck bones, empty "Panxi" cigarette boxes, pears and other food supplies.
Who was the deceased?There is nothing else to corroborate at the scene.
In accordance with the unified deployment of "finding the source of the corpse and breaking through this case" proposed by Director Zeng at the on-site meeting, the criminal investigation officers and police first quickly launched a rigorous investigation and interview around the female corpse in the area where the crime occurred.
At about 1 p.m. on March 31, Mao Lirong, a waiter at the "Jiading Hotel" in Loess Town, reported to the police officers who investigated and visited that Hu Xiuqiong, a waiter at their hotel, was about 30 years old and had not returned since he went out at 6:30 p.m. on March 30. Then, after Mao Lirong came to the scene with the criminal investigators to identify the body, it was confirmed that the deceased was Hu Xiuqiong.
At 2 p.m. that day, inside the Loess Police Station. Yu Zequan, the owner of the hotel, stated: "Hu Xiuqiong may be from Wutongqiao District, Leshan City. During the lunar month last year, Wang Yonghong, who was engaged in duck business at the east gate of the county, introduced him to work in the hotel. I heard that Hu Xiuqiong used to work as a waiter at Luo Minghai and Zhou Guohua Hotels at the south gate of the county. Hu comes to work in a restaurant and often goes out, and there are often some strange men and women who come to her. ”
Mao Lirong stated: "On March 30, I rode a bicycle to Hu into the county seat to buy a pair of leather shoes, and I wanted to play more, but Hu Xiuqiong said that I would go into the city at 3 o'clock in the afternoon to find Wang Yonghong to do something. Hu left the hotel that afternoon and didn't come back until 6 p.m., and after eating, Hu asked me to go out for a walk with her. When I walked to a private clinic not far from the hotel, Hu said that a relative of "42 Hospital" was waiting for her and told me to buy medicine and go to her. About 10 minutes later, I went to the hospital to look for her and went back to the hotel by myself without seeing anyone. At about 8 o'clock in the evening, there was a man about 30 years old, wearing black tweed clothes and red bar pants, and came to Hu Xiuqiong with a note. ”
Yu Zequan also made a statement about this "Luo Erhu" who sent the letter.
But what is the relationship between Hu Xiuqiong and Wang Yonghong. Hu asked Wang to do something on the afternoon of the 30thWho is that relative waiting for her in "Hospital 42" and what is waiting for her;At around 8 o'clock in the evening of the 30th, who was this mysterious "Luo Erhu" sending the letter, and what did Hu Xiuqiong do when he asked Hu Xiuqiong to go to his house?The criminal investigation officers and police officers invariably thought about this mystery to be solved.
When the police officer in charge of the peripheral investigation investigated the small shop outside the gate of the "42 Hospital", the shopkeeper provided: "At about 6 p.m. on the 30th, a man and a woman came to buy a bottle of wine. ”
The doctor at the clinic reported that on the night of the 30th, after Mao Lirong took the medicine and left, she saw Hu Xiuqiong and a person who was about 50 years old. The "old man" in the cap passes by the clinic.
And who is the "old man" in the cap?
Luo Minghai and Zhou Guohua were immediately summoned to find Wang Yonghong, the messenger of 'Luo Erhu' and the 'old man' wearing a peaked cap. The bureau leader ordered.
On the afternoon of the 31st, Luo Minghai confessed: During the lunar month last year, Hu Xiuqiong went to her restaurant with an "old man" about 50 years old and asked if she wanted a waitress, and I said no.
Zhou Guohua confessed: In June last year, Hu Xiuqiong was introduced to work at the "Tsing Yi Jiang Tea Factory Hotel" opened by Hu Xiuqiong by an "old man" who was about 50 years old and claimed to be an installer at the Zhugen Machinery Factory in Wutongqiao District, Leshan City, and had a cousin-sister relationship with Hu. One night, four men went to a restaurant for dinner, and after sleeping with Hu Xiuqiong, they had a dispute over non-payment. In addition, Yang (female, 30 years old), who worked in a hotel and is now a lady in a karaoke hall in Loess Town, has a good relationship with Hu and is my goddaughter. On the evening of March 29, Yang and Hu Xiuqiong were there with two men**, one of whom was "Luo Erhu".
Wang Yonghong of Yancheng Township, Jiajiang County, confessed: One afternoon in the lunar month last year, he went home after collecting ducks in Qingjiang Village, Jiepai Town, Jiajiang County, and went into the store to drink tea when he passed by Luo Minghai's restaurant on a motorcycle. Before leaving, a young lady who worked as a waitress at the Luo Hotel offered to take a ride into the city. On the way, the young lady asked her to help find a job, and he drove her to the "Jiading Hotel" in Loess Town to introduce her to Boss Yu Zequan. Later, every time he passed by there for business, he would go to the hotel to set up a dragon gate formation with this young lady. The two have spent many nights with prostitutes.
After investigation by the criminal investigation police, it was confirmed that Wang Yonghong had no time to commit the crime, and it was ruled out.
Retrial of Zhou Guohua. The head of the bureau instructed.
Facing the sharp eyes of the interrogators, Zhou Guohua confessed again: "The deceased Hu Xiuqiong, whose real name is Hu Xiuying, was a member of the No. 1 community of Yejiang Village, Jinsu Town, Wutongqiao District, Leshan City, and there is a note of Hu's name and address written by Hu himself at home as evidence. On the afternoon of March 29, Hu Xiuying came to my house to play, and happened to meet my acquaintance Wang Shiyao, a native of Loess Town. Wang, who is in his 60s and has been widowed for more than 30 years, has entrusted me with his introduction. I asked Hu Weiwang to introduce the object. Hu Xiuying immediately said that it was wrapped up in her. In order to thank Hu for his kindness, Wang specially bought a pair of leather shoes for Hu. ”
(After quickly inquiring about Wang Shiyao's whereabouts, it was confirmed that Wang had no time to commit the crime).
Zhou Guohua also confessed: "At about 7 o'clock on the 30th, Xu and another person came to my house, saying that they wanted to find Miss to 'play'. I immediately wrote a note asking Xu to go to the Loess 'Jiading Hotel' to find Hu Xiuqiong, but I don't know if I found it.
The messenger "Xu" was summoned to the Public Security Bureau that night, and after investigation and identification, it was determined that Xu was the "Luoerhu" who sent the letter, but Xu confessed: After the letter was delivered, seeing that Hu was not there, he returned home with Tang, who went with him.
After overnight investigation and verification, the results were consistent with the confession, and neither "Luo Erhu" nor Tang had a chance to commit the crime;Meantime. Zhou Guohua, Luo Minghai and others, who were confirmed to be in contact with Hu Xiuqiong, also had no time to commit the crime, and were ruled out one by one.
In the face of the interruption of the investigation clues, the detective was not discouraged, and searched for Yang Mou, who was a young lady in the karaoke hall of Loess Town, and Wang of Xue Village 1 Society, Yancheng Town, and Zhang Mou, who was sleeping with Yang and Hu on the night of the 29th, but no new clues were obtained.
At 6 a.m. on April 1, the police officers in charge of the investigation of the outside line contacted the Jinsu Police Station of the Wutongqiao District Public Security Bureau, and soon confirmed that Hu Xiuying was 32 years old, lived in Yejiang Village No. 1 Community, Jinsu Town, and had her husband Liu Yinshan and two sons.
Could the mysterious old man in the cap who has not yet appeared be Hu Xiuying's husband Liu Yinshan?
The detectives' emotions were running high again.
At 11 o'clock in the morning of the same day, the special case team divided into two routes: one continued to investigate and visit the area around the scene of the crime, and collected the whereabouts of Hu Xiuying's activities with the "old man" before his death;Ma Min, deputy head of the other route task force, led four detectives to Wutong Bridge to investigate.
Hu Xiuying's husband, Liu Yinshan, and her brother, Liu Zhonglun, were summoned to the police station. After repeated investigations, Liu Yinshan and his brother Liu Zhonglun did not have the time or opportunity to commit the crime. However, when Liu Yinshan answered the investigators' questions, he constantly covered up some of his wife's circumstances, and some even avoided talking about them. At this point, investigators had to tell him that Hu Xiuying had been killed. and handed over the connected corpse** to him and Liu Zhonglun for identification.
Liu Yinshan took the ** and immediately cried bitterly. In addition to his grief, his brother immediately confided in the investigators that his sister-in-law Hu Xiuying had an adulterous relationship with Wang Zhizhong, an employee of the Jinsu Town Machinery Factory, five years ago, until now.
Wang Zhizhong", could it be the "old man" in the case?The detective was shocked.
Soon, Wang Zhizhong and his wife Mao Zhiqing, who lived in the 5th community of Miaoer Village, Jinsu Town, were summoned to the Jinsu Police Station.
After the separate questioning began, Wang Zhizhong said: At noon on the 30th, he drove from his home to Wutongqiao Street to drink tea, stayed at his younger sibling's house at night, and returned to his home in Jinsu Town at 9 a.m. the next day (i.e., 31st).
The investigation police immediately rushed to Wutong Bridge to investigate, and soon received an affirmative answer from his younger siblings and brother-in-law: "I never saw Wang Zhizhong on the 30th, and I never stayed at our house at night." ”
In view of the fact that Wang Zhizhong knew the deceased and had an adulterous relationship, he was suspected of killing Hu Xiuying by sneaking around and killing Hu Xiuying from the evening of the 30th to the morning of the next day. At about 6 o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, Ma Min, deputy head of the "special case team" who went to Wutong Bridge to carry out investigation work, decided to take Wang Zhizhong and his wife Mao Zhiqing back to Jiajiang together.
At about 7 inches that night, the interrogation room of the county bureau. The crowd, as well as Zhou Guohua and Luo Minghai, began to identify Wang Zhizhong separately, although Wang Zhizhong was not wearing a "peaked cap" at this time, and his clothes were obviously different, but the five people who identified them -- Zhi Zhi said:The person in the house is the "old man" who is with Hu Xiuying.
Saying that Wang Zhizhong is an "old man" seems to be only based on his appearance. In fact, his actual age is only 43 years old. He has prominent cheekbones, a black face, a little hunched when he walks, and a blue cap, which is indeed not far from the "old man".
Soon, Wang Zhizhong began to confess his sins:
It was one day 5 years ago, Hu Xiuying's youngest son was sick and hospitalized, and after being discharged from the hospital, Hu Xiuying and her husband Liu Yinshan discussed with Wang to fight their in-laws, that is, to worship their youngest son to Wang as his godson. So the two families came and went frequently. Soon, he hooked up with Hu Xiuying, who was 10 years younger than him. Later, Wang's wife Mao Zhiqing and Hu Xiuying's husband Liu Yinshan may have noticed it, and they also began to fornicate out of revenge.
In the month before last, Hu Xiuying and her husband Liu Yinshan quarreled over trivial family matters, and Wang Zhizhong sent Hu Xiuying to Jiajiang to work without telling Liu Yinshan, and Liu has been unclear about the whereabouts of his wife Hu Xiuying. Hu Xiuying was not at home, and Liu went to Wang's house to find Mao Zhiqing a lot. However, he Wang Zhizhong often felt that it was difficult to quench his thirst from far away water, and he felt that he had lost money, and thought that it was a fool to send Hu Xiuying to work in Jiajiang. At noon on March 30, Liu Yinshan came to Wang's house again to hunt pigweed and had lunch together. After the meal, Liu and Mao Zhiqing set up a dragon gate array with a smile. Seeing their affectionate appearance, a nameless fire that he couldn't tell what it was like suddenly surged into his heart. He thought that he must go to Jiajiang to call Hu Xiuying back and let them see.
In the afternoon, outside the "Jiading Hotel" in Loess Town, Wang met Hu Xiuying, who had just left the store, and the two went to the garden of the "42 Hospital" to talk until 6 o'clock in the afternoon.
Hu Xiuying returned to the restaurant for dinner and came to the hospital to find Wang Zhizhong, so the two bought a bottle of wine, peanuts, pears, and braised duck outside the hospital gate, and then walked down the road to a rape field while eating. During this period, Wang proposed to ask Hu Xiuying to return to his hometown, but Hu still refused to go back on the grounds that they (referring to Wang Zhizhong and Liu Yinshan) were both ghosts and could not be relied on, so they could only rely on themselves. In anger, he raised the wine bottle and smashed it at Hu's head, grabbed the sharp knife that cut pears and stabbed Hu several times in the chest, abdomen, and thigh, and was about to stab Hu to death.
After Hu Xiuying's death, Wang Zhizhong took off Hu's coat, shoes and socks and threw them around, took off his watch and ring, cut off his head, and threw them into the water by the ditch. Then along the small road, call a rickshaw to take it to a hotel (later verified to be the "Jiajia Hotel" in Yingchun North Street, Jiajiang County). When registering, he claimed to be Li Hua, without an ID card, from Qingyiba, Leshan City. After disposing of the blood stains on his clothes and shoes in the hotel, he left Jiajiang by car at 7 a.m. the next day and returned home at 9 a.m.
So far, the "3.31 Extraordinarily Large Murder and Dismemberment Case" has finally been successfully solved after 48 hours of day and night tracking and pursuit.
