Detective: From the Police Academy

Chapter 220 Motive for murder?
Lan Hanwen opened the door and appeared in front of everyone.

Luo Rui noticed that he was holding a book in his hand and had already read the last few pages.

A few pages hung beside Lan Hanwen's legs.

When the wind blew in the corridor, the papers rustled.

Seeing a lot of people standing outside, Lan Hanwen was not surprised at all and pushed the frame of his glasses on his nose.

"You are……"

Luo Rui took out his ID and handed it to him.

"Lan Hanwen, you are suspected of murdering Wang Jialing. Now, we, the Shahe County Bureau, will arrest you according to the law!"

Luo Rui stepped aside, and Dabao and Xiaowu quickly squeezed in and controlled Lan Hanwen.

Unexpectedly, Lan Hanwen did not resist, but let the two police officers take him away.

Luo Rui did not plan to interrogate in the guesthouse as this was not the main battlefield.

Jiang Gang blinked and walked into the guest room.

Luo Rui also followed them in, and several people found Lan Hanwen's suitcase.

After opening the box, they found a black plastic bag inside, which contained the clothes and sneakers that Lan Hanwen wore on the train.

There were blood stains on his clothes. Luo Rui had read his statement.

In the transcript, Lan Hanwen did not confess to the beating of Wang Jialing by several other people. His statement was no different from that of others. First, the gangster broke in and chopped Wang Jialing with an axe. As for how many times he chopped her, he said it was two times.

This is inconsistent with the other people's statements. In addition, after Wang Jialing died, he picked up her young child who could not speak yet and handed him over to the flight attendant.

Why did he do this?
After killing someone else's mother, how could you still have mercy on the young child?

After most of the day's questioning, Jiang Gang had already started to look at Luo Rui with new eyes.

There were five suspects in compartment No. 13 of carriage No. 11. The Shamatte couple was completely subdued by a little bluffing; Wu Zihui and Zhao Jianguo were tough characters, so they confessed honestly after some tricks.

The final suspect naturally surfaced, that was Lan Hanwen.

Jiang Gang had seen experienced criminal police captains in Shahe County Bureau, but he had never met a criminal policeman like Luo Rui who was decisive and able to accurately grasp the psychological defenses of suspects.

It was a good decision to come to the guesthouse this time.

Jiang Gang's perception of Luo Rui has changed drastically. At first, he thought that he was just a young police officer who was ruthless and had no scheming, and got the position of squadron leader through nepotism. But now, he sees that he is mature, steady, resolute and calm beyond his age!
He wanted to give him a thumbs up, but Luo Rui ignored him and followed him back to the county bureau without stopping for a moment.

Jiang Gang had no choice but to get into that crappy van again, but this time he learned his lesson and rushed to sit in the passenger seat to avoid vomiting due to the bumpy ride.

On the way, Luo Rui called Li Nong and told him the information he had found out today.

Li Nong was startled and quickly ran to find Lu Kangmin.

Both of them found it hard to believe that the K301 robbery and murder case was actually a case within a case?

"Wang Jialing was really not killed by Ding Zuo?" Lu Kangming blinked and quickly stood up from the sofa.

Li Nong sighed and said, "Luckily it was Luo Rui. If we were to try him, we would definitely blame Ding Zuo for Wang Jialing's death."

"Who said it wasn't true? In this train robbery and murder case, all the criminals were arrested by Luo Rui's Seventh Squadron. If he finds out the real culprit behind the murder of Wang Jialing, I don't know how to report it to the higher-ups. This is really incredible."

"Who says it's not true? It's been less than three days since the crime was committed. The speed of solving the case is so fast, wow..."

Lu Kangming smiled and said, "We have found a treasure in Shahe County. I only knew this guy was amazing from the archives before, but now I see him with my own eyes, and it is really amazing.

There are only a few months until the end of the year. If there are few current cases, we can clear the backlog and increase the clearance rate. This will give us a good reputation and a higher bonus this year."

Li Nong nodded hurriedly: "Okay, Director Lu, I'll go prepare Lan Hanwen's information first. I'll need these things for the interrogation later."

"Go, go!" Lu Kangming sat comfortably in the chair and took a sip of tea.

In the office of the Seventh Squadron, the investigation into Lan Hanwen officially began.

Because the suspect has been identified, the investigation is targeted.

In this way, we are looking for evidence with a magnifying glass.

Miao Shouqiang began to specifically compare Lan Hanwen's footprints, fingerprints, hair, etc. Han Jinli also pulled Wang Jialing's body out of the freezer and performed a new autopsy.

According to testimonies from other passengers, Lan Hanwen did not participate in the beating of Wang Jialing, but he did not try to dissuade her either.

If he was the murderer who cut off Wang Jialing's neck, then there would be no traces of his biology left on Wang Jialing's body.

He did not participate in the beating, but picked up an axe to kill people, which made everyone a little confused.

Jiang Gang was the most anxious because he was in charge of this case.

He quickly called the procuratorate and informed his director of the details of the case, and the director assigned Jiang Gang an additional partner.

During the court trial, you must prepare in advance which evidence can be used and which cannot be used.

Therefore, evidence is important, and the motive for murder and the murderer's confession are equally important.

Luo Rui immersed himself in the information collected by Li Nong, carefully looking through Lan Hanwen's information.

Lan Hanwen, 24 years old, is from Huining City and is a senior graduate of Dicheng XX University.

His parents are still alive. They were laid off in the 1990s and then set up stalls. They have been doing this for more than ten years to support the family's living expenses and Lan Hanwen's university fees.

Li Nong called his counselor and college classmates, who told him that Lan Hanwen was dull and unsociable, but had very good academic performance. The counselor had suggested that he complete his postgraduate studies, which would be of great help to his future career development, but he refused.

The reason was not stated, but the counselor could guess that Lan Hanwen might not want his parents to work too hard, so he returned to his hometown to find a job right after graduation in order to reduce the burden on his parents.

The county bureau has not yet notified Lan Hanwen's parents.

At six o'clock in the evening, Luo Rui and Qi Lei came to the interrogation room.

Instead of going in immediately, they walked into the observation room next door.

Lan Hanwen had been in there for four hours, his hands and feet were handcuffed, and two policemen stood behind him.

His face was calm, not as anxious or irritable as the other suspects.

"Did he say anything?"

The police officer sitting at the table looked up and said, "No, he didn't say a word. He was very calm. He is the calmest suspect I have ever seen."

At this time, Lu Kangming, Li Nong and Jiang Gang also walked into the observation room.

Luo Rui greeted them.

Lu Kangming smiled and patted his shoulder: "Luo Rui, once this case is done, I'll give you a few days off!"

Luo Rui frowned: "Holiday? Director Lu, didn't I just take a week off?"

Lu Kangming is an old fox. He plans to let the cows have a good rest before using them to plow the fields, but now is not the time to talk about this.

Jiang Gang has also seen many murderers who were brought to trial. Some of them had not received much education, were not afraid of the police and the law, and did not know how serious their crimes were. During the court trial, they shouted and threatened to kill this person and that person, and even told the judge to shut up.

Until the death sentence was announced, these people's faces turned pale and they could not even walk. They had to be lifted up by the police and dragged away.

Some people deeply regret the crimes they have committed, but those are just crocodile tears shed after the verdict.

Before the verdict is announced, they all think that what they did was not a bad thing and will find all kinds of reasons to defend themselves.

Unlike Ding Zuo before, suspicion points to Lan Hanwen, so the confession is extremely important!

Jiang Gang looked at Luo Rui: "Are you confident that you can take him down?"

Luo Rui sorted out the information and replied, "Who knows."

Luo Rui seemed very relaxed and glanced at Qi Lei.

The two men walked out of the observation room and pushed open the door of the interrogation room.

Lan Hanwen, who was sitting on the chair, immediately raised his head and winked at Luo Rui.

Luo Rui glanced at the policeman behind him and said, "Change his handcuffs and bring him a glass of water."

The police nodded and did as he was told.

"Thank you." Lan Hanwen's voice was surprisingly calm.

Luo Rui didn't say anything, but sat down and lowered his head to organize the documents.

Lan Hanwen took the paper cup brought by the police and said thank you as well.

He took a few sips of water and placed the paper cup on the interrogation table.

Luo Rui then raised his head and looked at this gentle college student.

"You killed Wang Jialing, didn't you?"

Luo Rui did not intend to beat around the bush, but instead asked the question directly.

Qi Lei froze, and even Lu Kangming, Li Nong and Jiang Gang who were standing in the observation room felt their anuses tighten.

"Yes, I killed him."

To everyone's surprise, Lan Hanwen admitted it directly without even a word of resistance.

Luo Rui was also surprised. They had spent several hours preparing information, re-examining the body, comparing physical evidence, etc. They felt that this case was rather special, with one corpse and two murderers, and it would be very difficult to arrest Lan Hanwen.

Bed No. 13 in carriage No. 11. It’s not that there is no physical evidence, but that there is too much physical evidence!
Six people were squeezed into a small space, with fingerprints, hair, dandruff, footprints, etc. everywhere.

But the most important thing is that there are no fingerprints of anyone on the tools used to commit the crime.

Because Zhong Daming and his men were wearing gloves when they committed the crime, and the handle of the axe had been wiped.

So this most important physical evidence disappeared. In addition, it was Ding Zuo who chopped Wang Jialing with an axe in the first place. Because of the crime process, if Lan Hanwen insisted on not admitting that he was the one who chopped with the second axe, Luo Rui would really have no way to deal with him.

Maybe we can only apply for experts from above, and it will take a long time to start with trace evidence. Even if it is the previous reasoning, after Wu Zihui and the Shamatte couple went out, Wang Jialing's neck was cut off, and a lot of blood spurted out.

In such a small space, there were only Zhao Jianguo's bloody footprints, not even Lan Hanwen's footprints.

A few hours ago, Luo Rui reconstructed the crime scene. Lan Hanwen must have hacked Wang Jialing to death at the door, so there was no blood on his feet.

Moreover, Zhao Jianguo had his back to them at the time and did not see the murder.

When he got down from the upper bunk, Wang Jialing had already fallen on the bed. Besides, he was drunk and confused at the time.

Not only did he not see it, even if he did, it is still unclear whether his testimony would be admissible.

The murder took only a few seconds, and was inferred based on bloodstain analysis, so it cannot be used directly as evidence.

As long as Lan Hanwen does not admit it, the chain of evidence will be incomplete.

It will be very difficult for the court to accept the case.

But at this moment, Lan Hanwen admitted it very easily, which really stunned everyone.

Luo Rui let out a sigh of relief and asked, "Why? Why did you want to kill Wang Jialing?"

Lan Hanwen pursed his lips, pondered for a moment, raised his head and looked straight into Luo Rui's eyes.

"Because she wants to die!"

"Don't talk to me about this!" Luo Rui changed the subject: "Tell me why you killed someone, don't put the blame on the victim."

Lan Hanwen paused for a moment and said, "Officer, have you ever tried this? Have you ever stood on a very high rooftop and looked at the ant-sized people and vehicles below, and you wanted to jump down?"

Without waiting for Luo Rui to answer, he continued: "That's what I thought, and this thought has tormented me for many years!"

"My parents used to be factory workers. At that time, my family was relatively well-off. We lived in a hutong, and there were no tall buildings. Whenever a tall building was built nearby, I wanted to jump from it. I stood on the edge of the rooftop many times and almost couldn't hold back!

You asked me why I killed people, and this is the reason!"

Lan Hanwen's face was very calm. He didn't look like a first-time murder suspect at all. He didn't seem panicked at all.

If we allow him to continue his development, his sense of right and wrong will become distorted, and he might turn into a psychopathic murderer.

Luo Rui knew that if he didn't let him continue talking, it would be difficult to find out this guy's motive for murder.

"Just now you said that Wang Jialing wanted to die. How did you know that?"

But Lan Hanwen did not answer, but said: "I have a question, I don't understand, what kind of creatures are adults? Although I am an adult, I still don't understand these people.

When I was a child, there was a dog in our alley, and the neighbor's child was my classmate.

The adults liked the dog very much. It was very well behaved. If there was any leftover food at home, my parents would ask me to feed it to the dog.

At that time, my classmates and I were young and we hated that dog, we really hated it. Then, Lei Zi, my classmate, broke the dog's hind legs with a stick, and cruelly hung it up with a rope, killed it, and skinned it.

That was it. The dog didn't bite anyone. His hand was right next to its mouth. It watched itself being skinned, but it didn't bite me!

It just died like that. When the adults came back from get off work, they beat us to death. My dad beat me like crazy, saying that I was cruel and bad.

Lei Zi was also beaten, with blood marks all over his buttocks. At that time, the adults in the alley pointed at us both and we couldn't raise our heads.

But it doesn’t matter. What’s important is that that night made me full of doubts about this world and deep disgust towards people.

The night I got spanked, that dog was for dinner in my house!
It was brought from my neighbor, stewed with spices like star anise, cinnamon, and tangerine peel. It was very fragrant.

For this purpose, my parents bought two bottles of beer and happily ate and drank at the same time.

And he didn't forget to put it in my mouth.

But I just curled up in the corner, watching them without even touching my chopsticks, just feeling disgusted..."

When Lan Hanwen said this, the expression on his face looked a little ferocious, and he lost the calmness he had just had.

"That woman, her name is Wang Jialing, right? She is no different from the dog in my childhood. It is better for her to die than to be eaten alive by those people.

There is nothing worth lingering about in this world.

If you police want a definite motive for the murder, this is it.

Wang Jialing made several phone calls on the train, expressing her desire to commit suicide. She could not stand her husband's domestic violence, nor could she endure the long-term care of the children. She was determined to divorce, but her parents asked her to continue to endure.

The world has treated her so coldly, so why should she live on?
The passengers in Car 13 hated this noisy child. I want to tell them that the one who hated this child the most was Wang Jialing! It was her mother.

You should check those people, how did they treat him?

Even the criminals could choose her and chop her down with an axe. Tell me, what's the point of her living?
At that time, I waited for the three people on the bed opposite to run out of the compartment, then got out of bed and saw Wang Jialing's appearance. Her eyes told me that she wanted to die and didn't want to live.

Without hesitation, I picked up the axe from the ground and pointed it at her neck.

I saw her nodding to me, so I blindfolded her child, and finally killed her, holding her child, and ran out of the carriage! "

Qi Lei was stunned. What did Lan Hanwen mean?
Is this a just thing to do? Killing is nothing more than killing for money or out of passion.

But his motive for murder was not like that. Did he do it in accordance with the victim's wishes?

Does Wang Jialing have to say thank you to him?
Thanks for killing me, huh?
These educated people are so damn good at making excuses and turning black into white.

Qi Lei glanced at Luo Rui, only to see a sneer on his face.

Lan Hanwen also noticed the sarcastic smile and frowned.

"Officer, what do you mean? I've already given you what you wanted! Don't you believe it?"

Luo Rui snorted coldly and stared at him closely: "Lan Hanwen, you speak so righteously. If Wang Jialing knew about this, would she let you go?"

"you……"

"I can tell you're a bad guy at heart!
I only believe half of what you said! You studied law, you know what kind of result is waiting for you, you were caught by us, so you are ready to confuse us in order to reduce your crime.

You simply picked up a crime scene that was the easiest to commit. Wang Jialing was chopped with an axe by the robbers, and the passengers in carriage 13 all beat Wang Jialing.

Moreover, at that time, the compartment was full of your fingerprints and hair. Unlike ordinary murder scenes, these things could not be used as physical evidence at all!
Such an ideal place for killing, you can't help but want to kill.

You just want to commit the perfect murder so the police can't catch you, right?
Don't make yourself sound so noble!

You are using your words of morality and the collapse of the world to deceive our police? You are insulting people! "

Upon hearing this, Lan Hanwen's whole face twisted.

"You're talking nonsense! Wang Jialing really asked me to kill her! I didn't lie. You can check the call records on her phone and you'll know the truth!"

Luo Rui sneered, "Really? Wang Jialing's child is only two years old. In the past two years, she has not worked and has been taking care of the child wholeheartedly as a housewife. You've been studying so hard! All mothers who have just given birth have postpartum depression!"

The term postpartum depression was not well known in 08.

But Luo Rui was reborn. In the future, due to postpartum depression and excessive pressure, many young mothers chose to commit suicide because of trivial matters and could not get over it.

Wang Jialing is no exception, but that doesn’t mean she really wants to die!

It's just a dark time in life. As long as you get through it, everything will be fine.

If it is true as Lan Hanwen misinterpreted, 99% of the people on this earth should not live in this world.

Killing is killing, there is nothing to say about it.

Chinese courts are different from those in other countries. They will not over-interpret the criminal's psychology. If you deserve the death penalty, you will be sentenced to death. This is the minimum respect for the victim.

"Postpartum depression?" Lan Hanwen swallowed, as if he heard this word for the first time.

Luo Rui continued, "I really want to ask you, have you read too many books from abroad? Your book on criminal law is a translation of a foreign textbook, and your rhetoric is only suitable for foreign situations! We don't need it on this continent!

In addition, you said your parents ate the dog! Have you ever thought about what era your parents came from? Have they ever told you how they survived the famine when they were young and didn't have enough food?

Let me tell you, in this era, no elders will waste food!

They beat you because you are cruel!
They ate the dog. It was because of the hunger that has been in our Chinese genes for thousands of years!
Do you want them to give the dog a funeral? Do you want the whole family to confess their sins with you?
Is this how you can become a good person?
Your parents have a clean background, have never committed a crime in their lives, and have worked diligently to support your studies. You don't see their great side, but you actually frame them for these vicious things?"

Luo Rui's counterattack was powerful and every word was heart-wrenching.

Not only Qi Lei, but also everyone standing in the observation room was stunned.

This completely refutes Lan Hanwen!

Everyone understands that if Lan Hanwen insists on his guilt out of helplessness, will the court make a reasonable judgment?
Besides, with two murderers killed for one, the possibility of sentencing him to death is not very high.

But Luo Rui just wants him to die!

Lan Hanwen's face turned red and he was breathing heavily.

He never expected that the young police officer in front of him would be able to refute his imagined words one by one.

Luo Rui stood up, put away the documents on the desk, and finally looked at him.

"All I want is for you to admit to the murder. I don't care about the motive for the murder. And don't even think that the court won't sentence you to death!"

Lan Hanwen was stunned, and his expression returned to that of a normal suspect, panicked and weak. He seemed to want to struggle: "I wasn't the only one who killed Wang Jialing. The gangster also chopped him with an axe!"

His words completely exposed himself!

If he was really as "righteous" as he said, he wouldn't be trying to grasp at straws.

Luo Rui gave him one last look and said, "I'm telling you, it's not one corpse and two murderers, but one corpse and two lives! When you killed Wang Jialing, she was already more than two months pregnant!

You killed two people..."

Luo Rui's last words were spoken in a very low voice, barely audible, so as not to be recorded by the camera.

"Go to hell, you scum!"

Hearing this, Lan Hanwen slumped in the interrogation chair, sweating profusely, staring at Luo Rui's back with lifeless eyes.
