Chapter 218 The truth?

Although one of Ding Zuo's hands was shot and wrapped in gauze, the police still put him in removable handcuffs.

He looked at the photo in his hand and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

He never expected that what he did could actually be filmed!
Guan Xia told him that as long as they were in the tunnel, the surveillance camera had no infrared and the carriage was completely dark, so nothing could be captured.

It was because the surveillance failed that he got up and killed the bitch.

At this time, his hands were shaking. Because he had a criminal record and had experience in detention, he knew what the outcome would be after being arrested.

You are teetering on the edge of the death penalty. If you are not careful, you will be shot!

Luo Rui looked at him coldly and asked sternly: "What else do you want to say?!"

Ding Zuo's mouth kept trembling, and he made a whirring sound: "I..."

His lie was exposed, and for a moment he was unable to organize his words.

"Why did you kill Guan Xia?"

Ding Zuo took a breath and replied, "Because I was cheated on!"

Luo Rui narrowed his eyes: "Tell me about it."

"That damn bitch Guan Xia cheated on me with more than one man. I know of several! I worked so hard on the construction site to earn money and sent it to her, but who knew she would betray me! If she wasn't still useful, I would have killed her long ago!"

Ding Zuo spoke out all the frustrations in his heart in one breath and was ready to admit defeat.

The police officers who were conducting the interrogation were all shrewd men. After hearing this, they knew that there was still a need to dig deeper into the case.

Qi Lei picked up a pen and paper and asked bluntly, "Who are the men who cheated on you? What are their names?"

"I only know their QQ numbers..." Ding Zuo said four names in one breath.

As Qi Lei wrote, he was surprised in his heart.

These men all live in cities that K301 passes through. It seems that Guan Xia met these men on the train.

Ding Zuo could kill his own girlfriend, so why wouldn’t he do the same to these people?

If it leads to a series of murders, the impact will be huge.

However, judging from Ding Zuo's expression and tone, it seems unlikely.

After Qi Lei wrote down the names of the five people, he showed them to him: "Is it correct?"

Ding Zuo said: "Yes, she may have more on QQ..."

Qi Lei nodded, thinking to himself, this might not be as simple as being cheated on, it could very well be a case of prostitution.

Afterwards, he handed over the final say to Luo Rui.

Luo Rui twirled the pen in his hand and stared at Ding Zuo.

"Why did you kill Wang Jialing?"

"what?"

Ding Zuo was startled. He suddenly remembered that early this morning, when he was in the dense forest, he was stubborn and refused to reveal the whereabouts of other people. The other party threatened him, saying that they wanted to frame him.

I didn't expect that this dark-skinned criminal policeman in front of me would actually dare to do this.

Suddenly, he shouted loudly: "Officer, stop playing with me, I just said, I didn't kill that woman, I just chopped her with an axe!"

"Oh, you just lied and said you didn't kill Guan Xia! You won't cry until you see the coffin, right?"

"No, I really... I really just chopped him with an axe, and it was blocked by the iron bed. At most, I made a cut on her waist. Officer, I am innocent!"

Luo Rui blinked and bluffed: "Zhong Daming confessed that he was going to kill you. He chopped Wang Jialing with two axes, and the last one..."

He gestured to the left side of his neck and continued, "It was almost cut off! And you beat her up during that time!"

"Government, I am innocent! You cannot frame me!"

Ding Zuo yelled at the top of his lungs so that the other police officers outside could hear him.

He had already understood that this policeman, who looked more like a criminal than himself, would definitely put the blame on him just because he had not cooperated with him before.

When Luo Rui heard his crying, he slammed the table.

"Be honest with me. Did they kill you? I'm telling you, Wang Jialing was pregnant at the time. Two lives lost!"

Upon hearing this, Ding Zuo almost collapsed. This really meant he was going to be sentenced to death.

He cried bitterly with snot and tears. He had never been so scared since he was born. What a fucked up world!

……

After coming out of the interrogation room, Luo Rui did not stop for a moment and walked into the observation room next door.

He ordered the escorting police officers at the detention center to let Ding Zuo stay inside for ten more minutes.

When Luo Rui saw Lu Kangming and Yang Yunqiao, he nodded first, then stared at Ding Zuo in the interrogation room without blinking.

After the interrogator left, the panic on his face did not subside. He was very scared and angry.

He kept mumbling to himself: "It's unfair, I didn't kill that woman, I didn't kill..."

He turned his head and looked at the escort behind him, as if the other party could help him and decide his life and death, and he begged bitterly.

Ten minutes later, Ding Zuo was taken away. His legs were weak and he had to be supported by two police officers.

Lu Kangming said: "It doesn't look like he was pretending. Could it be that he really didn't kill Wang Jialing?"

Yang Yunqiao shook his head: "It's hard to say. This guy has a criminal record. He just didn't admit to killing Guan Xia. He only admitted it after we showed him the evidence. He probably thinks that if he admits to two murders, he will definitely die, so he is pretending to be crazy and stupid."

Luo Rui actually tended to believe that he was pretending, but there was no surveillance in bed No. 13 in carriage No. 11, and it was pitch black at the time. Zhong Daming was already dead, and there was no indicative evidence, so they could only rely on the testimonies of the passengers.

At night, Li Nong and the members of the first squadron returned, but they were not arranged to rest. Instead, they immediately held a meeting to discuss the case.

He Bing complained bitterly and slapped himself twice in the face to cheer himself up.

The veteran of the first squadron sat at the end of the meeting room, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

I haven't had any rest for two days and one night, and it was high-intensity work. People are not made of iron.

After Lu Kangming entered the meeting room and saw these people, he felt very guilty, but the case was urgent, so he could only let them bear with the injustice for the time being.

Li Nong was the first to speak, saying, "Director Lu, we found the body, but it was smashed to pieces. We were busy all day at the bottom of the cliff, picking up arms and legs, and the head was gone."

"Gone? How could it be gone?"

Li Nong sighed and said, "I don't know, maybe it was taken away by a wild animal! When we went there, the scene was horrible."

"Okay, try your best to collect all the body parts." After saying that, he looked at an old detective.

This man had just interrogated Sun Xinghan.

"Director Lu, Sun Xinghan admitted it and explained everything clearly. He said that he had no intention of killing anyone at first. Zhong Daming and he were childhood friends, so he helped him out of loyalty. But when he saw Zhong Daming bring back the 200,000 yuan, he became interested and prepared to take it for himself.

After setting the fire, he suggested that the four of them flee separately in order to lure away Ding Zuo and Zhong Shuai so that they could attack Zhong Daming. "

Lu Kangming asked the question Luo Rui wanted to ask: "Did he tell me who killed Wang Jialing?"

The old detective shook his head: "He didn't say anything. He didn't even know that Zhong Daming and his gang killed someone on the train."

Luo Rui sighed. He didn't expect that although the person was caught, the evidence could not be obtained.

There were only two people who broke into bunk No. 13 in carriage No. 11, Zhong Daming and Ding Zuo.

Zhong Daming is already dead, and Ding Zuo refuses to admit to murder. Could it be that the passenger in bed number 11 killed Wang Jialing?

After working for such a long time, everyone was exhausted. The meeting was over and the veterans quickly left.

Luo Rui got the passenger information of bed No. 11 from Li Nong and slowly looked through it in the office.

Fang Yonghui and Yang Bo were brought up by Luo Rui, so they did not leave either.

At this moment, the office of the Seventh Squadron was pushed open, and Han Jinli brought over a cup of coffee and placed it on Luo Rui's desk.

Fang Yonghui and Yang Bo pretended not to see anyone and buried their heads in front of the computer.

"Thank you." Luo Rui raised his head and rubbed his sore eyes.

"You're welcome. I was just about to get off work and saw that the lights in your office were on."

Han Jinli smiled and asked, "Did the murderer who killed Wang Jialing confess his crime?"

Luo Rui shook his head: "No."

Han Jinli nodded: "I went to the biological laboratory of the Municipal Bureau this morning, and this is the report I received tonight."

Luo Rui took the document from her hand and started flipping through it immediately.

This is Wang Jialing’s DNA test.

"The one who died was Wang Jialing, not Wang Jiarong."

Luo Rui laughed and said, "I was just joking before, did you take it seriously?"

Han Jinli curled her lips and said, "Keep improving. If I get confused, my career will be over."

Luo Rui nodded and looked at her: "Forensic Doctor Han, how did Wang Jialing's injuries come about?"

"Well... I'm comparing them now. I can tell you the results tomorrow."

"Row."

Han Jinli said: "Okay, I'm off work now. I'll let you know when there's a result."

Luo Rui waved to her and continued to bury himself in the papers.

In addition to Wang Jialing and her young child, there were five other passengers on bunk No. 11.

Wu Zihui was the contractor. The 200,000 yuan that was robbed belonged to him. He was also the main target of this train robbery and murder case. However, he was lucky and was not hurt at all. He was only hit by a few punches and Zhong Daming did not kill him.

On the bunk above him, there were two people, a couple.

The man’s name is Pan Cheng, he is 22 years old and an apprentice in a hair salon.

The woman's name is He Zhen, she is 21 years old and works as a shampooer in a hair salon.

The two were robbed of a latest model HTC mobile phone. At the time of the incident, both were staying on the upper bunk and were not injured.

On the bed opposite them, Wang Jialing and her child were staying on the bottom bunk, which was also the most convenient position for the criminals to attack.

Sleeping on the upper bunk between the mother and son was a college student named Lan Hanwen, a senior majoring in law. He was preparing to return to his hometown to take the civil service exam. A book on criminal law was robbed from him by Zhong Daming and his gang.

When Wang Jialing was killed, he ran out of bed No. 11 holding her child and handed the child to the flight attendant who arrived.

The person sleeping on the upper bunk of Lan Hanwen was a middle-aged man in a green military uniform named Zhao Jianguo, a migrant worker.

Because he was staying on the third bunk, close to the ceiling, nothing was taken from him. At the time of the incident, he had already drunk a bottle of white wine, and he was still drunk when he was giving his statement.

The five people's statements were all vague, but consistent.

At that time, after the train entered the tunnel, two robbers wearing masks broke in, holding pistols and axes in their hands.

At first, they turned on the flashlights and found Wu Zihui. One of them started to snatch his briefcase. He refused to give it to him, so the other punched him a few times.

Another robber, dissatisfied with Wang Jialing's child's noise, threatened to kill her if she didn't calm the child down.

Wang Jialing was frightened and quickly covered the child's mouth.

But the robber still raised the axe and chopped at Wang Jialing. The axe was blocked by the iron bed and hit Wang Jialing's waist.

Seeing how brutal this group of people were, Wu Zihui knew that saving his life was more important, so he let the robbers take his bag away.

Then the robber turned off the flashlight and the carriage was plunged into darkness.

They heard someone being beaten, Wang Jialing's screams, and the crying of a child. This situation lasted for a few minutes, and when the two robbers opened the door and went out, they could no longer hear Wang Jialing's screams.

Afterwards, the train came out of the tunnel. Wu Zihui quickly opened the door and ran out. Seeing the body of the conductor lying on the ground, he immediately knelt down to check his injuries.

Two Shamatte youths ran to the connection between the carriages and vomited continuously.

Lan Hanwen held the child and shouted for help to people in other carriages.

As for Zhao Jianguo, when he ran out, he was still holding the bottle of white wine and looked drunk.

Their statements were no different from what was seen on the surveillance camera.

This is a complicated situation. Who killed Wang Jialing?

Luo Rui raised his head and saw Fang Yonghui and Yang Bo both asleep on the table. It was already two o'clock in the morning.

He woke them both up and they went home to rest.

The next day.

As Luo Rui arrived at the county bureau, a young man wearing a blue shirt and carrying a briefcase came towards him.

"Are you Captain Luo? The person in charge of investigating this train robbery and murder case?"

Luo Rui looked at Li Nong behind him, who quickly introduced: "This is Jiang Gang, Prosecutor Jiang."

"Hello." Luo Rui shook hands with him.

"I have just met the suspect. I have also read the transcript and confession. Ding Zuo refuses to admit to killing Wang Jialing. What should we do now?"

Luo Rui couldn't figure out where he was coming from, so he asked, "What does Inspector Jiang think?"

Jiang Gang pushed the frame of his glasses on his nose: "I think this guy did it. If it's not possible..."

He whispered, "Give him a strong dose of medicine?"

This is what he meant. Li Nong blinked and coughed twice.

Luo Rui narrowed his eyes slightly. They had just met, and the other party was so blatant that he asked to use the great memory recovery technique?

Where did Jiang Gang come from? Is he so wild?
Luo Rui was not stupid. He understood after a little thought that it must be Ding Zuo who complained to him.

"Whether Ding Zuo killed Wang Jialing or not, everything will be determined by evidence, but according to the clues we have now, he is the most likely suspect. Prosecutor Jiang, if there is nothing else, I will go and get busy first!"

Luo Rui's answer was flawless. Jiang Gang frowned slightly and followed closely behind him.

He Bing appeared from the corner and looked at Li Nong who was standing there motionless.

"Li Da, has this Jiang crocodile bit Luo Rui?"

Li Nong sighed, "That bastard Ding Zuo sued Luo Rui, saying that he had pinned the crime on him, and that he had intentionally beaten him during the pursuit."

"Did Jiang Crocodile believe it?"

"I don't know whether I believe it or not, but those few words he said just now were just to test Luo Rui. Hey, being a police officer is so hard. You can't hit the suspect, you can't scold the suspect, and you can't swear in the interrogation room. Damn, now I have to coax and comfort the suspect!"

Li Nong patted He Bing on the shoulder and said, "Old He, hurry up and call the old helpers from your first squadron to go to the bottom of the cliff and find Zhong Daming's head for me."

He Bing said with a bitter face: "Li Da, our First Squadron is the model of the county bureau and a commando team. Can't you hand this matter over to another team?"

Li Nong laughed awkwardly and pointed to the office of the Seventh Squadron next door.

"Look, the Seventh Squadron is now the model. Every young man is so handsome and vigorous."

……

Luo Rui walked towards the reception room. On his way to work, he received a call from Wang Jiarong, saying that she had brought her brother-in-law to the county bureau.

Jiang Gang took two quick steps and caught up with Luo Rui.

"Captain Luo, I want to ask, what do you think about this case?"

Luo Rui frowned: "What do you think?"

Jiang Gang said: "I have watched the surveillance on the train. It was eight minutes, eight whole minutes of darkness, nothing could be seen! If you believe that Wang Jialing was murdered by Ding Zuo, then without a confession, our court will not accept the case and will send it back, asking you to provide detailed evidence again.

Moreover, Ding Zuo is now suing you for defaming him. Even if you get his confession, the judge may not necessarily focus on the confession. Because of you, this case can only focus on the evidence and not the confession!"

Luo Rui stopped and stared at him: "You mean, I am no longer qualified to handle this case?"

Jiang Gang turned sideways and replied, "That's right. If we change someone, we might still have a chance!"

Luo Rui now understood what he meant and asked, "Do you want to sentence Ding Zuo to death?"

"It is unfair to the victim to let such a scum live in the world! Besides, he has already admitted that he chopped Wang Jialing with an axe. Although he refused to admit to murder, this is no different from murder! Wang Jialing was pregnant, and there were two lives lost. Someone must be held responsible!"

Luo Rui smiled. It seemed that Jiang Gang was also a living devil who sent people to death without blinking an eye.

Luo Rui ignored him, pushed open the glass door and walked into the reception room.

Sitting next to Wang Jiarong was a man wearing a suit and looking sad.

After seeing Luo Rui, he stood up and extended his hand to Luo Rui. "Hello, Officer Luo, I am Wang Jialing's ex-husband, my name is Lu Yuan."

"Hello, Mr. Lu." Luo Rui shook hands with him.

Jiang Gang also followed in and introduced himself. He also wanted to meet the victim's family.

After several people sat down, the first thing Luo Rui asked was: "Mr. Lu, did you know that your ex-wife is pregnant?"

Lu Yuan swallowed his saliva and said hoarsely, "I just found out about it, too. She didn't tell me before."

"Is the child yours?"

Luo Rui's question made Wang Jiarong next to him frown slightly.

"It should be mine. I'm so sorry to her! I'm a bastard!" Lu Yuan said sadly, his eyes were red, and it didn't seem like he was pretending.

Luo Rui was indifferent. "Whether the child is yours or not, no one can say for sure. Go draw a tube of blood and do a DNA test."

"Okay, I'll listen to your arrangements. As long as you catch the murderer who killed Jialing, I'm willing to pay anything!"

Luo Rui didn't respond to him, but took out a stack of photos from a folder and handed them to him.

"Look, do you know these people? Their names are written on the back of the photo, take a closer look."

After Lu Yuan took it, he took a look at the photo, then turned to the back of the photo and saw the words "Lan Hanwen" written on the back.

He frowned, put the photo down and continued reading.

During this time, Luo Rui was observing his expression without blinking.

Wang Jiarong also looked at the photos with confusion on his face, not understanding what it meant.

After a while, Lu Yuan put down the photo.

"Officer Luo, I don't know these people. Why did you show me their photos? Wasn't my wife killed by one of the robbers?"

Luo Rui did not answer. He put away the photos, called Yang Bo who was standing aside, and took people to draw blood or extract oral mucosa.

After everyone left, Jiang Gang immediately asked, "Do you suspect that Ding Zuo is not the murderer of Wang Jialing?"

Luo Rui glanced at him and said, "I didn't say anything. You need evidence for everything!"

Jiang Gang was choked back, feeling a little unhappy, and said, "Do you suspect that this is a case within a case, and the real murderer is Wang Jialing's ex-husband? Did he hire someone to kill someone?"

Luo Rui naturally ignored him, but called Fang Yonghui and instructed: "I have something for you. Go and call the police station in Lu Yuan's area to check his bank card to see if there are any large transfers or withdrawals recently."

"Okay, I'll do it right now!"

Luo Rui stood up, found Qi Lei in the office, and the two drove to the guesthouse.

Jiang Gang followed all the way and had no intention of leaving.

He sat in the back seat of the van and twisted his butt uncomfortably.

"Your conditions are too harsh, aren't they? There are so many cars in the yard, can't you drive a good one?"

Luo Rui sat in the front seat and glanced at Qi Lei: "I think this car is pretty good, right, Brother Lei."

Qi Lei understood what he meant, and stepped on the brakes hard at the traffic light: "Of course, Inspector Jiang, sit tight."

Jiang Gang banged his head against the back of the chair, holding his head and crying out in pain.

The guesthouse is not far from the police station, an eight-minute drive away.

After Jiang Gang got off the bus, he couldn't find a trash can and vomited directly on the side of the road.

Seeing that Luo Rui and the other man didn't wait for him, he quickly wiped his mouth with a tissue and followed them into the hall.

The passengers in bed No. 13 in carriage No. 11 are all staying in the guesthouse. Because they are related to the case, they cannot leave immediately.

Originally there was no one on duty to guard them, but before Luo Rui went to work today, he instructed Xiao Wu and Lao Bao from the Seventh Squadron to keep a close eye on these people.

At this time, the two were drinking tea in the hall. When they saw Luo Rui, they quickly stood up.

"Captain Luo!"

"Captain Luo!"

"Where are these people?"

Xiao Wu is the youngest criminal police officer in the team besides Luo Rui, at the age of 23. He replied, "They are all staying in the room."

"Have they gone out since the incident?"

"I came here early in the morning and checked the surveillance." The person who answered this question was Lao Bao, who is also very young, less than 30 years old, and has been a police officer for many years.

He took out a notebook and answered, "The two Shamattes who go out the most are those who sleep during the day and go out for supper at night, but they all return to the guesthouse at 10pm."

"The second is Zhao Jianguo. He went out twice, both times to buy wine and some stewed food. After he came back, he stayed in his room, watching TV and eating. He was drunk all day long."

"The other one is Wu Zihui. He went out the most. When we were in the mountains yesterday, he went to our county police station and asked if the robbers had been caught. He also asked if he could get the 200,000 yuan back."

Luo Rui nodded and asked, "Where's Lan Hanwen?"

Lao Bao said: "He went out once, on the day of the incident. After arriving at the guesthouse, he put down his luggage and went out to buy a book."

"what book?"

"I didn't pay attention. I just saw two words on the surveillance camera, Criminal Law or something."

Luo Rui nodded, and didn't rush upstairs. Instead, he sat on the sofa, frowning.

Jiang Gang sat next to him and asked, "Luo Rui, is it true that Wang Jialing's ex-husband hired someone to kill someone? Is the murderer among these people?"

Luo Rui didn't say anything, but closed his eyes.

Jiang Gang was feeling a bit tormented standing aside. The feeling of being hung was really uncomfortable.

It was not until a long time later that Luo Rui's cell phone rang and he opened his eyes.

The call was from Han Jinli. After she said a few words on the phone, Luo Rui's face turned pale.

He stood up suddenly and strode upstairs.

Seeing this, Jiang Gang hurriedly followed.

Han Jinli’s phone call was as follows: “Luo Rui, I made a mistake. I’m sorry. It’s my lack of experience and my negligence!
I thought the murderer in this homicide case was identified, so I only focused on the cause of Wang Jialing's death and the reasons that led to her death.

But after your reminder, I found that many of the injuries on Wang Jialing's body were caused by punches and kicks, especially the blow to her chest, which clearly showed that someone had kicked her very hard.

I retested the clothes that Wang Jialing was wearing at the time. Although her clothes were soaked in blood, I found some human fingerprints and footprints covered in the blood. They all came from the passenger in bed No. 13 in carriage No. 11.

That is to say, each of them had beaten Wang Jialing! One of them might be the real murderer! "
