Detective: From the Police Academy

Chapter 244 Caught
Haijiang Branch.

Office of Special Criminal Unit.

The clues of the "1116 Family Massacre Case" began to be re-sorted, and the photo of the suspect Guan Peng was posted on the clue board.

Du Feng also learned the news and immediately issued a joint investigation notice to the local police station, traffic police brigade, etc., and began to capture the man.

Not long after waiting, Zhao Ming came in with a report in his hand and said, "The results are out!"

Everyone's attention was immediately drawn to him and they gathered around him. Only Luo Rui folded his arms and stood far away.

Zhao Ming glanced at him, and then said: "The DNA of Liu Donghao you brought back does not match the fetus in Shen Lan's belly..."

"What about Guan Peng?" Fang Yonghui asked immediately.

Zhao Ming nodded: "The child is Guan Peng's!"

"In addition, the blood-stained clothes found under Guan Peng's bed can be confirmed to have Shen Xin's DNA on them, and the sneakers are also stained with the blood of Shen Hai and Peng Ruzhen. The bottom wire of the kettle is also confirmed to be the weapon used to strangle Shen Lan."

Zhao Ming made the final conclusion: "Everything matches!"

Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. There was no doubt that Guan Peng was the murderer of the family massacre.

Du Feng clapped his hands and said, "Everyone has done a good job! I will organize people right now to search the whole city for Guan Peng!"

Fang Yonghui and Su Mingyuan high-fived each other, their joy evident on their faces.

After all, this is the first case since the establishment of the special criminal team, and everyone is proud to have solved it in such a short time.

Cai Xiaojing was also very happy. She smiled and turned to look at Luo Rui, only to see him leaning on the desk, his eyes fixed on the clue board.

"what happened?"

Luo Rui stared at it in a trance and did not answer.

Fang Yonghui cleared his throat and said, "Luo Da, should we call Yang Bo and the others back?"

Luo Rui turned around and said thoughtfully: "No, this case is not over yet."

Cai Xiaojing asked: "Is it the knife that disappeared?"

"The bloody clothes and the weapon used to strangle Shen Lan were all placed under the bed. If he ran away, he wouldn't be able to take the knife with him."

Su Mingyuan frowned: "If it is the first time to kill someone, the criminal will naturally be afraid of the weapon used to commit the crime. He may have thrown the knife somewhere while escaping."

Fang Yonghui followed Luo Rui's line of thought and asked, "Since you threw away the knife, why not throw away the bloody clothes and the wires as well?"

Cai Xiaojing also followed this line of thought and analyzed the situation. She said, "Unless Guan Peng carried the weapon with him as a self-defense tool."

Luo Rui shook his head: "I suspect he might want to continue committing crimes."

"Ah?" Everyone was shocked.

"Have you ever thought about the motive for the murder?"

Su Mingyuan rolled his eyes and said, "Perhaps Guan Peng was pestering Shen Lan and planning to marry her, but Shen Lan and her parents disagreed, so Guan Peng wanted to kill her?"

Fang Yonghui held the opposite view: "This damned guy, his girlfriend was pregnant with his child, but he still did it. Maybe he didn't want to take responsibility, so he killed her. After all, what happened between Shen Lan and Liu Donghao is something no man can stand."

Cai Xiaojing said: "There are only two possible motives for murder. Once we catch the perpetrators, the truth will be revealed."

At this moment, Qi Lei and Tian Guanghan walked into the office. They had been busy all day and were visibly tired.

"Master Luo, Captain Cai."

After greeting everyone, the two of them sat down in their chairs.

Luo Rui nodded: "Thank you for your hard work. Did you find anything?"

Qi Lei looked at Tian Guanghan and said, "Old Tian, ​​go ahead."

"Okay, we investigated Peng Ruzhen's social relationships and found that she has a long-term lover outside..."

Qi Lei blinked. "It's not just her. Shen Hai also has multiple lovers. The couple are playing with their own lovers!"

Tian Guanghan rolled his eyes at him, and Qi Lei quickly laughed and said, "Old Tian, ​​I'm talking too much, you go ahead!"

"We found Peng Ruzhen's lover. This guy is a generation younger than Peng Ruzhen, probably only a few years older than her son. According to this guy, he met Peng Ruzhen when he was distributing flyers. Later, the two of them gradually became familiar with each other and had a relationship. Peng Ruzhen rented a house outside to support this guy and gave him money to spend."

Peng Ruzhen's photo was still on the clue board. Everyone looked over there unconsciously. Peng Ruzhen was almost fifty years old, and she found a boyfriend who was half her age. It was really shocking.

Fang Yonghui said: "No wonder this family is so cold and indifferent to each other. It turns out that they play so well."

Qi Lei chuckled, "Distributing flyers is a technical job. This guy used to be a middleman, so he can get in touch with rich women. If you don't want to be a policeman anymore, you can take the flyers and wait for mature women driving luxury cars. I guarantee that the married women will cultivate you."

Su Mingyuan opened his eyes wide: "How do you grow it?"

"Plant and accompany."

Cai Xiaojing changed the subject: "You're getting off topic. Old Tian, ​​ignore them and continue talking."

Tian Guanghan nodded, opened his notebook, and said, "This kid is very cooperative. He said that he has been with Peng Ruzhen for five years. At the beginning, Peng Ruzhen was very resistant, but later, he felt more and more wrong and found that Peng Ruzhen raised him as a son..."

Cai Xiaojing frowned and asked with some disdain: "Old Tian, ​​did he really say that?"

"There's no mistake. This guy even signed the transcript." As he said that, the notebook was taken away by Luo Rui.

Luo Rui read it carefully and said, "Indeed, that's what his testimony said."

These topics that destroyed everyone's worldview left everyone stunned, but as criminal police officers, they have seen everything, so it is not surprising.

Tian Guanghan continued, "In addition, this guy also said that Peng Ruzhen's husband Shen Hai knew about their relationship, and that once when they were shopping in a mall, he and Peng Ruzhen ran into her husband. Peng Ruzhen even deliberately took his arm so that Shen Hai could see it, but Shen Hai ignored her and even tried to hide."

Cai Xiaojing: "This is weird. A wife cheated on her husband and she even let him know? Shen Hai didn't do anything. You all read the divorce agreement, right? The property was split in half. Shen Hai didn't embarrass Peng Ruzhen at all."

Qi Lei couldn't help but sigh: "What a good man. By the way, speaking of this, Lao Tian and I visited Peng Ruzhen's family. Her brothers know about the divorce agreement and are looking for lawyers to sue Shen Hai's family to divide the property."

Cai Xiaojing shook her head: "What a mess!"

Everyone was chatting with each other. After all, the murderer had been identified and the atmosphere became relaxed.

But only Luo Rui had a blank expression on his face, with his arms folded, standing in front of the clue board.

Cai Xiaojing walked over and poked his arm: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

Luo Rui looked at her: "I was wondering, five years ago, when Shen Lan was pregnant, who was the father of the child? Where is the child now?"

Speaking of this, Luo Rui slapped his forehead and said, "I almost forgot about this."

He asked Fang Yonghui for a notebook, put it on the desk, found the doctor who delivered Shen Lan, and then dialed the number on the red landline.

The phone rang for a long time, and then a strange voice came.

Luo Rui quickly pressed the speakerphone button, pointed at Fang Yonghui, and asked him to take notes.

"Hello?" A strange voice came from the phone.

Luo Rui quickly introduced himself: "Hello, Doctor He? I am from the Criminal Investigation Team of the Haijiang District Police Station. My name is Luo Rui. I want to inquire about the pregnant woman who gave birth to a baby you delivered five years ago. Her name is Shen Lan."

There was silence on the phone for a long time, as if he was confused. "Shen Lan?"

"Yes, she was only 2003 years old at the time, and she gave birth to a baby boy on March 3, 10."

"It's been so long, I can't remember it for a moment."

Luo Rui lowered his body and pleaded, "Doctor He, please think about it carefully. This matter is very important to us."

"Five years ago? Let me think... How about this, I'll contact the nurse who delivered the baby with me at that time and call you back later?"

Luo Rui had no choice but to nod: "Thank you for your help."

Immediately, the call was hung up.

At this time, Qi Lei couldn't help but ask: "Luo Da, do you suspect that this case is not simple?"

Qi Lei, Yang Bo and Fang Yonghui looked at each other. They did not dare to underestimate Luo Rui's intuition.

More than a month ago, it was Luo Rui who solved an extremely complicated train robbery and murder case. The complexity of this case was not something that an ordinary criminal police could solve. It was a case within a case within a case. If any link was not noticed, the real murderer might go unpunished.

Tian Guanghan said: "Yes, team leader, all the evidence points to Guan Peng. As long as we catch him, everything will be clear."

Luo Rui didn't say anything, but looked up at the clue board. Shen Lan in the photo was also staring at him, her pair of dark eyes also looking at him, as if she wanted to tell him something.

Not long after, Du Feng came over in a hurry.

"Guan Peng was not found at the airport, train station or bus station, and no money was withdrawn from his bank account. We believe he is still in the city.

His cell phone was turned off and we found the last place he disappeared.

I have gathered people and will start the arrest immediately..."

He looked at the others and asked, "Do you want to join us?"

Qi Lei and Fang Yonghui did not move, but Tian Guanghan and Su Mingyuan were somewhat tempted. After all, the case had been solved, and catching the murderer was the final task. Everyone wanted to see this matter through to the end.

But Luo Rui didn't say anything, and they didn't dare to answer.

Luo Rui looked at Du Feng and said, "You take the people first. I still have some things to check clearly."

"Okay then!" Du Feng didn't ask any more questions and hurried downstairs with his men.

In the police station yard, dozens of police cars, flashing red and yellow lights and sirens, rushed into the night.

Tian Guanghan let out a breath and leaned back in his chair. Qi Lei glanced at him and knew that this guy was not very satisfied, but to be honest, he himself was also somewhat tempted.

There are eight people in the special criminal team. The preliminary investigation work was excellent, but it would be an honor if they could catch Guan Peng personally.

You know, when Liu Bang was fighting Xiang Yu, on the banks of the Wujiang River, just because of Liu Bang's words, many people ran to besiege the Overlord. Even if they broke one of Xiang Yu's fingers, they would be granted the title of Marquis and rewarded with ten thousand gold coins.

Although the two events cannot be compared, the murderer of the family massacre is still very attractive.

How can we fall behind in such matters?

Just when everyone was thinking about their own things, the red landline phone suddenly rang.

Luo Rui quickly picked up the receiver and pressed the hands-free key. Doctor He's voice came out: "Officer Luo?"

"It's me, please?"

"It's like this. I asked the nurse who delivered the baby with me. There was indeed a young pregnant woman named Shen Lan. I don't know what you want to ask."

Luo Rui asked: "Who was the person who accompanied Shen Lan during her delivery?"

"Well, I'll give you a phone number. It's the nurse on duty at the time. You can call her and ask her."

"Okay, tell me the number." Fang Yonghui quickly took out a pen and wrote it down. After the other party hung up the phone, Luo Rui immediately dialed the number.

After the call was answered, a middle-aged woman's voice came from the phone: "Hello?"

Luo Rui explained the situation to the other party in detail.

The other party said, "Shen Lan came to the hospital alone at the time. No one was with her during the birth. She also signed the notice herself."

"Are you sure?"

"Of course I am sure that all pregnant women who gave birth that day were accompanied by their families. She was alone, so I remember it very clearly."

"What was her condition like at the time?"

"...How should I put it? She wasn't confused or helpless. She seemed to hate herself and didn't care about her condition. By the way, when I was delivering her, I found cuts on her wrists, as if she had just cut herself. She was wrapped in gauze. She must have had thoughts of suicide during her pregnancy."

"I understand. I have another question. Where is the child Shen Lan gave birth to?"

"The child is healthy, but I haven't seen her since she was discharged from the hospital. I asked her about it, and she said her grandmother took her away."

Luo Rui and Cai Xiaojing looked at each other and asked hurriedly, "Did she really say that?"

"Yes!"

"Okay, thank you. If you remember anything else, please contact me."

"You're welcome."

After the call was hung up, a sense of foreboding rose in everyone's heart.

Cai Xiaojing said: "Shen Lan went to the hospital to give birth alone. Where were her parents? Why didn't they accompany her? And her grandmother took the child away. Where is the child now?"

Luo Rui narrowed his eyes and said, "Then we have to ask this old lady. Let's go and find out now."

……

Chu Yang and Yang Bo squatted downstairs in the community, holding a cup of hot coffee in their hands and stuffing bread into their mouths.

Chu Yang stamped his feet and said, "You said, the team leader said he would send someone to support us, but it's been a day and no one has come to replace us. What time is it now?"

Yang Bo checked his phone and said, "It's almost dawn. Maybe Luo had too many things to do and forgot about it."

"Then why don't you give him a call?"

"You can beat me if you want."

Chu Yang rolled his eyes. “Hey, isn’t it because you discovered that there was something wrong with the old lady that we have been waiting here all this time? You should be the one making the call.”

Yang Bo hesitated for a moment, swallowed the last bite of bread, and said, "If you can't bear it, go to the car and sleep for a while, and come back to replace me at four in the morning?"

Chu Yang thought for a moment and said, "Forget it. If something happens, you can't handle it alone. Let's wait until dawn. Before dawn, we can contact the team leader again."

Yang Bo sighed, took out his cigarettes, took one out and handed it to his partner.

Chu Yang shook his head: "I don't smoke."

Yang Bo lit up the cigarette himself, took a puff, and said, "Don't blame me for being suspicious. Luo Da once told us that when investigating, we need to have animal-like intuition and be skeptical of everything. That's why we have solved several major cases in Shahe County."

Upon hearing this, Chu Yang perked up and asked, "Then tell me about it?"

"Okay, which case do you want to hear about?"

"Then tell me how you took down Gu Zhiliang's D-related group!"

"I thought you wanted to hear about the train robbery and murder."

"We'll talk about this case later. I heard that you formed a special investigation team at the time, but the team later withdrew. Did Luo Da lead you to investigate privately and find the key to solving the case?"

"That's it!" Yang Bo narrowed his eyes, looked at the night sky with pride on his face.

Bats flew over the treetops and headed for the edge of the high rooftop.

……

In the darkness, Guan Peng retracted his head from the edge of the rooftop and looked at the North Star covered by dark clouds again.

He sighed. The two men had been squatting downstairs for a long time, and Guan Peng had noticed them a long time ago.

Moreover, the old lady was sent to the hospital in the morning and was not sent back by her family until the afternoon.

Earlier, he stayed in the corridor for a while and found out that the old lady's eldest son had gone out, and now only she and her daughter were left in the room.

The two policemen downstairs haven't left yet. Guan Peng thought to himself that if he continued to wait, he would definitely have no chance.

He didn't expect the police to be so fast and directly blocked his last route.

Guan Peng took a deep breath and swallowed. After the hunger in his stomach eased a little, he pulled out a bloody knife from his arms, zipped up his jacket, turned around and walked down the rooftop.

The old lady lived on the ninth floor. Guan Peng did not plan to take the elevator, but walked directly down in the dark fire escape.

He tried to keep his footsteps as low as possible and not make any noise.

When he reached the ninth floor, he stopped. The sensor light in the stairwell behind him suddenly went out, and the surroundings fell into darkness, as if blocking his way back.

But, he couldn't turn back.

Guan Peng calmed himself down, gritted his teeth, and walked to Room 903.

It was already very late at this time. There was no sound in the corridor and the neighbors on both sides had already gone to bed.

Guan Peng took a deep breath, raised his hand, and knocked lightly on the door with his knuckles.

There was no response from inside, so he knocked a few more times. Finally, a woman's voice sounded behind the door.

"Who?"

"You... Okay, we are the police. We found new clues and came to ask you."

"You guys are here so late at night? My brother isn't home. If you have anything to say, let's talk about it tomorrow morning."

"No, we have already caught the murderer, so we came here to find out more about the situation."

Upon hearing this, the door suddenly opened.

Shen Chunmei blinked: "I really caught it..."

Before she finished speaking, her eyes suddenly froze.

Guan Peng rushed into the room without saying a word and closed the door.

"Who are you?" Shen Chunmei shouted. Just as she was about to call for help, her mouth was covered by a big hand.

"Don't move. If you dare to shout, I will kill you!"

When Shen Chunmei saw that Guan Peng was holding a knife in his other hand, she turned pale with fright and couldn't stop nodding.

Seeing that she didn't move, Guan Peng quickly searched the house, trying to find a rope to tie her up.

But as soon as he turned his gaze, Shen Chunmei suddenly blocked his hand and ran into the bedroom, shouting.

"Help, help! Someone, someone is killing someone!"

"Help, it's murder!"

Guan Peng secretly cried out that something was wrong, ran over quickly, and kicked Shen Chunmei in the back.

Shen Chunmei rushed out and rolled onto the balcony. She moved very quickly, opened the window, and shouted for help outside.

Guan Peng wanted to chase after him, but it was too late.

At this time, he did not run away, but only thought about his unfinished task.

He turned and rushed into the old lady's bedroom.

The old lady had woken up and was getting ready to get out of bed.

Seeing her, Guan Peng suddenly hesitated and tightly gripped the knife in his hand.

The old lady screamed when she saw a stranger standing in the bedroom.

It would have been fine if she didn't say anything, but as soon as she opened her mouth, Guan Peng's anger surged out.

He ran forward, stretched out the knife in his hand, and stabbed directly.

The old lady picked up the pillow and threw it at him.

Guan Peng dodged for a moment. He had already moved forward and was about to stab the old lady in the chest with the knife, but he unexpectedly felt a pain in his chest.

The blade of a pair of scissors pierced directly into his chest. He staggered twice and wanted to swing the knife, but saw that the old lady had already crawled under the bed.

At this point, it was too late to kill her.

Guan Peng took a breath and sweated profusely in pain.

He seemed to be crazy, shouting in the bedroom: "Come out, come out, you damned old woman! I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you, I want to avenge Shen Lan! Come out, you cruel and evil beast!"

Guan Peng covered his bleeding chest. He could no longer hold on and the knife in his hand fell to the ground.

He just felt that his body was getting weaker and weaker, and he didn't even have the strength to lift the bed.

Suddenly, his vision went dark and he fell to the ground.

Even so, Guan Peng always kept himself clear. He gritted his teeth and crawled under the bed. Blood kept flowing out of his chest, leaving a bloody trail on the floor.

"Why? Why didn't you stop that beast? Why did you let Shen Lan live in such pain?"

The old lady hid under the bed, trembling and not daring to move.

She stared outside and saw that the intruder had no strength left. She quickly crawled out from under the bed and picked up the knife on the floor.

She swallowed and shouted, "It was you, you killed my son's family? You killed them?"

Guan Peng was already on his deathbed. A sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth and he began to cough weakly: "I... I wish it was me, but I don't have the courage. I should have killed them! I tell you, damn old woman, it was Shen Lan who killed them! Are you satisfied now!"

"You are such a heartless person!"

The old woman raised the knife in her hand and was about to chop it down, but at this moment, Yang Bo, who ran up from downstairs, pounced on her.

Chu Yang also immediately ran over and snatched the knife away.

Then he quickly called the emergency number...
