Detective: From the Police Academy

Chapter 393 With one last shudder, he did it!
"When you dumped the body, was Zhang Jing still alive?"

The interrogation room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. When Lei Xiaojun heard these words, he lowered his head and his pupils shrank.

Even Feng Jianqiu, who was sitting behind the interrogation table, was stunned and felt a chill in his chest.

Li Xu, Cai Xiaojing and others who were far away in the criminal investigation conference room of Yonghe City also took a deep breath. When the interrogation began, the two places were already connected by video.

On the big screen, Lei Xiaojun was wearing metal handcuffs, his chest resting on the edge of the interrogation table, and his original action of shrugging and crying suddenly paused.

"Answer me! Was the victim Zhang Jing still alive when you dumped the body?!"

Luo Rui's angry roar penetrated the screen and seemed to echo a thousand kilometers away, reaching the Yonghe City Criminal Investigation Conference Room.

"Look up! Answer my questions!"

Lei Xiaojun's hands couldn't stop shaking, he kept swallowing, and slowly raised his frightened face.

"I... No, she's dead. She was already dead before I threw her into the well!"

"Liar!" Luo Rui stood up, walked up to him and stared at him.

Lei Xiaojun didn't dare to look him in the eye, so he looked helplessly at Feng Jianqiu and begged bitterly: "Officer, please believe me, I really didn't lie. I swear, when I put that woman into the suitcase, I was afraid that her blood would seep out of the suitcase, so I put two layers of black plastic bags on her head. When I dumped the body, she was no longer breathing!"

Feng Jianqiu did not believe his testimony, but slammed the table and said, "Behave yourself!"

Then, Luo Rui stood in front of him, drawing Lei Xiaojun's attention, and then asked word by word: "Then tell me, why did you open the suitcase when you dumped the body? Why didn't you dump the suitcase into the well together with the body? "

"I..." Lei Xiaojun avoided the gaze and could not answer at all.

Luo Rui leaned down and locked his eyes with him: "Lei Xiaojun, I remind you that you have no way out. Don't struggle desperately. It's better for you to confess yourself than for me to ask you. You'd better think this through."

Lei Xiaojun was still avoiding his gaze and shook his head, "I... I was very scared at the time, thinking that if I threw the suitcase down, the body might float up together with it... I..."

Luo Rui shook his head and waved to Lin Chen who was standing in the corner.

Lin Chen walked over and handed a document in his hand to him.

After Luo Rui took the document, he turned a page and handed him a photo of a suitcase.

There were forensic documents attached under the suitcase, but Luo Rui just let him take a glance at it and didn't let him look at it carefully.

Then, he put away the documents and slammed them on the interrogation table: "Lei Xiaojun, if you don't tell the truth, let me tell you what you did!"

Hearing this, Lei Xiaojun swallowed his saliva, his eyes filled with doubt and uncertainty.

"You took Zhang Jing to the back hill of the bus station in a suitcase. You didn't rush to dispose of her body, but raped her!
I don't know if she was dead or not, but your DNA is on the corner of this suitcase! You beast!"

"I……"

"...You had bad intentions to begin with, and you accidentally chopped someone to death and were about to dump the body. You felt like you got nothing, and you were unhappy, so you opened the suitcase, dragged Zhang Jing out, and insulted her!"

"So, tell me now, was Zhang Jing alive or dead at that time!"

Lei Xiaojun gritted his teeth and clenched his hands tightly on the interrogation table.

"answer!"

"answer!"

"Alive... She was still alive!" Lei Xiaojun raised his head suddenly, his face distorted: "Are you satisfied now? Yes, that's right, I fucked her!

Who told her to call me a toad wanting to eat swan flesh? She scolded me, scolded me...

I can't stand it, she must die!
I wouldn't let her live. When I was about to throw the suitcase into the well, I heard a noise inside. I knew she was still alive, and I just wanted to see her frightened face!
If I had known this, I would have suffocated her to death with a plastic bag!"

Hearing this, Luo Rui stood up as if exhausted, with a grim expression on his face.

He turned to look at the stunned Feng Jianqiu and said, "Old Feng, the rest of the interrogation is up to you."

"Oh... OK, OK." Feng Jianqiu asked himself, and he had participated in countless interrogations, but he had never seen many people like Luo Rui who used words to provoke suspects to jump up and down.

From extracting biological samples from the suitcase to Lei Xiaojun, this is what Zhao Ming has been doing, because there was no physical evidence at the crime scene. The place where Zhang Jing was killed was cleaned up by the suspect, leaving no footprints or fingerprints, and even the murder weapon had been carefully cleaned.

In this way, Zhang Jing's suitcase is the only physical evidence that can connect the victim, the crime scene, and the identity of the murderer.

Zhao Ming is a senior technician. He would definitely not miss such important physical evidence. After staying up all night for several days, he finally extracted a trace amount of rice green liquid that had long been dried from the suitcase.

If the rice green liquid is in the human body, it will disappear in just three days, but if it remains on soft clothes and other items, biological information can be detected for a long time.

In the twenty days after Zhang Jing was murdered, there was no rain in Yonghe City and the temperature was extremely low. Even the soil on the mountain was frozen hard, and so was the suitcase, which better preserved the biological information.

Luo Rui walked out of the interrogation room, and Lin Chen followed closely behind him, looking at him with admiration: "Director Luo, do you want to rest for a while?"

"We need to rest. What about Yonghui and Chuyang?"

"I'm taking notes."

During the arrest process last night, an unexpected situation occurred. As a police officer from other place investigating the case, of course he had to write a report on the situation on the scene.

Luo Rui stood beside the chair in the corridor and slowly sat down.

Lin Chen held the documents in his arms and sat down gently next to him.

"Director Luo..."

"Ok?"

"You said that Zhang Jing was still alive when she was thrown into the well. How desperate she must have been."

"Yes, so as police officers, we must do our best to catch the suspects and not let the victims die with regrets."

"Yes!" Lin Chen rested his chin on the documents in his arms, holding the thick green folder tightly in his hands.

This was a posture that lacked a sense of security. She imagined the situation Zhang Jing was in when she was murdered. She felt her whole body go cold and her heart seemed to be tightly grasped by a big hand.

One criminal case after another, one victim after another, those inhumane murder scenes, as a criminal police officer who solves the cases, I will naturally empathize with them.

At this time, Luo Rui leaned the back of his head against the wall and closed his eyes slightly.

Lin Chen didn't dare to disturb him and had to sit beside him.

Just as she began to doze off, Feng Jianqiu pushed open the door of the interrogation room.

Luo Rui opened his eyes and heard him say, "Lei Xiaojun confessed the entire process of the crime and the details of the murder!"

"That's good."

Feng Jianqiu looked at Luo Rui deeply and said, "I have a question that I can't figure out. Since Lei Xiaojun has already admitted to the fact of killing and dumping the body, why did he still conceal his last behavior?"

Lin Chen nodded: "Yes, not to mention the murder, the procuratorate will also prosecute for the death penalty just for the act of dumping the body."

Luo Rui stretched and stood up: "You understand, but he may not understand. Besides, he doesn't admit it, probably to cover up himself..."

"You've lifted the veil on him." Feng Jianqiu gave a thumbs up.

"No." Luo Rui shook his head and denied: "Director Zhao is a real hero because of his excellent skills."

Then, Feng Jianqiu raised two thumbs up: "You are all like this!"

----------

The suspect was arrested and Yonghe City sent a prison van overnight.

The next morning, after completing the handover procedures, Luo Rui and his party got on the car.

When arriving in Yonghe City and about to get off the highway, Luo Rui instructed Fang Yonghui to pull over.

Luo Rui looked at Feng Jianqiu who was sitting next to him and said, "Old Feng, we won't go back with you."

"What?" Feng Jianqiu suspected that he had heard it wrong.

"Lei Xiaojun has been arrested. Zhang Jing's case only has the follow-up investigation stage left. We are no longer needed."

Feng Jianqiu's eyes widened. "No, Director Luo, why did you suddenly decide not to go back? There's a corpse in the well? We haven't even found out its name yet. Besides, Captain Cai and the others are still investigating. You can't just leave it behind..."

Luo Rui waved his hand: "I can't manage this case, nor do I want to manage it. Before I came, the provincial department only asked me to supervise the [12*3] case. You know this. New cases are the responsibility of your municipal bureau. You can't ask me to handle everything, right?"

Feng Jianqiu scratched the remaining hair on his head. He had been chatting and laughing with Luo Rui all the way, thinking that they were good buddies. He was still excited about solving the case, but suddenly he heard the other party give up. He was so worried that his heart was shaking.

Luo Rui continued, "As for the headless corpse case, I will let Captain Cai and his men hand it over to your city bureau, and they will also be evacuated in the next two days."

"Ah?" Feng Jianqiu exhaled: "Director Luo, how about this, I call Captain Li first and ask for his opinion?"

Luo Rui immediately took out his cell phone and handed it to him: "How about you call Captain Zhu of our provincial department and ask?"

Feng Jianqiu looked at him, his expression froze, and then he sighed: "Well, Director Luo, since you have made up your mind, I will not force you to stay, but you have worked so hard for so long, let us treat you to a meal."

"No need, it's all work." Luo Rui put away his phone and said, "Old Feng, you are not allowed to stop on the highway, you should get off quickly."

Feng Jianqiu opened the car door helplessly and asked unwillingly: "Director Luo, can I ask what happened?" "See you later." Luo Rui waved to him and closed the car door with a smile.

Immediately, Fang Yonghui started the car and drove towards Guangxing City.

As soon as the seat was empty, Lin Chen twisted his butt and stretched his limbs.

"Director Luo, are we really not going to help them solve the headless corpse case?"

Luo Rui closed his eyes and didn't reply. However, Fang Yonghui, who was driving, glanced at the rearview mirror and cursed, "What a help, Lin Chen. You saw that the people in Yonghe City wanted to merge the headless corpse case with the Zhang Jing case. If it weren't for our Luo Da's insistence on vetoing them, they would have dared to do it. How could they be so careless?"

Lin Chen rolled his eyes: "Fang Yonghui, can you please speak properly? Tian Guanghan is gone, and now you are imitating him and swearing?"

"Officer Lin, how dare I say that? I'm just speaking my mind. Old Chu, don't you think that's the truth?"

Chu Yang, who was sitting in the co-pilot seat, groaned and said, "How should I put it? When we held the investigation meeting before, the team leader had already told them very clearly that the headless corpse case not only hid the body, but also hid the head, and dumped the body in two places. It is speculated that the suspect and the victim are both locals of Yonghe City. If they can't even find this out, then they don't deserve to be criminal police."

Luo Rui shook his head: "The direction I mentioned may not be correct. I am worried that they will combine the case with Zhang Jing's, so I deliberately distracted them. As for whether it is right or not, I am not sure."

Lin Chen blinked and said, "No way, Director Luo, you are such a rigorous person, how could you mislead the direction of their investigation?
Qiao Xue and the others have been investigating this direction for two whole days. If they go in the wrong direction, then they are doomed, right? "

Chu Yang laughed and said, "The team leader is fooling you. If it were you, the team leader would deliberately not participate in order to test Qiao Xue and the others' ability to handle the case?"

Luo Rui did not comment, but when Fang Yonghui and Lin Chen heard it, they knew that what Chu Yang said was probably true.

Looking at Luo Rui's unfathomable expression, Lin Chen smacked his lips and said, "Director Luo is indeed thoughtful. Not everyone can be a member of our homicide investigation team."

Fang Yonghui nodded: "Now that you put it that way, I understand. Luo is still the smartest."

Seeing them starting to go, Luo Rui curled his lips and said what he was thinking: "After solving the case for so long, can't I just enjoy myself? Is it possible that I am just too lazy and just want to go back to the provincial capital to see my girlfriend?"

"Uh..." Lin Chen's smile froze on his face.

Chu Yang coughed and Fang Yonghui patted the steering wheel.

------------------

Two days later.

In the meeting room of Yonghe City Criminal Police Detachment.

Li Xu sat at the head of the table, a half-burned cigarette in his hand, staring at the big screen behind the end of the conference table.

At this time, Qiao Xue stood in front of the big screen. She looked at Cai Xiaojing who was sitting next to her. After the other party nodded, Zhang Yong connected the computer in front of him to the projector.

Immediately, five photos of women appeared on the screen.

Qiao Xue cleared her throat and said, "Li Zhi, Feng Zhi, after a few days of investigation, we have found five women who fit the identity of the headless corpse.

These five women have all been missing in the past year, and their heights and appearances are similar to those of the headless corpses. "

Li Xu crushed the cigarette butt into the glass ashtray and asked, "What about those who have been missing in the past three months?"

The reason he asked this question was that the body parts salvaged from the well, after forensic identification, showed that the murder took place around the end of October.

Zhang Yong clicked the mouse, and three people disappeared from the screen, leaving only two people.

Qiao Xue replied, "There are only two people who have disappeared within three months. One is Huang Qing and the other is Cao Huanlei. They are both locals. Forensic Doctor Yi and Director Zhao are matching the identities of these two people."

Feng Jianqiu nodded: "This is similar to what Director Luo speculated before. The victim is most likely a local of Yonghe City..."

Before he finished speaking, the door of the conference room was pushed open and Zhao Ming strode in with a document in his hand.

He handed the document directly to Cai Xiaojing, ignoring Li Xu and Feng Jianqiu: "The DNA results are out, the headless corpse in the well is named Cao Huanlei.

We extracted biological samples from her rental house and compared the DNA with the headless corpse, and confirmed that it was correct. "

Hearing this, Qiao Xue clenched her fists, and Zhuo Yong and Sun Zhihao also looked excited.

After five or six days of hard work, the three people finally figured out the identity of the headless corpse.

Two days ago, Feng Jianqiu escorted back Lei Xiaojun, the suspect in the [12*3 case], but Luo Rui and his team returned to the province and city without even saying hello in advance.

Although Qiao Xue and the other two felt somewhat resentful, they also understood that Director Luo was testing them.

Although the members of the Haidong Provincial Public Security Department's homicide task force look glamorous to outsiders, they themselves know how much pressure they have to bear.

Moreover, half of this team are Director Luo's old subordinates, and they have a very close relationship with each other. It can be seen from the investigation of the [12*3 case] that Director Luo handed over everything to Chu Yang and Fang Yonghui, while Qiao Xue and others found it difficult to integrate into the team. They felt that there was always a layer of separation between them and Luo Rui.

At this moment, the identity of the headless corpse case was solved, and the three people naturally seemed very excited.

Li Xu was also very happy. The victim's name had been found out. He could then investigate based on his social connections and would always be able to find clues.

Most homicide investigations involve investigating family relationships, and Luo Rui had speculated several days ago that both the victim and the suspect might be locals.

Now that the identity of the victim has been revealed, Luo Rui's guess has been confirmed, and the possibility of finding the suspect is getting higher and higher.

The clue has been revealed. Li Xu knocked on the conference table proudly: "Tell me about the identity of this Cao Huanlei."

Qiao Xue nodded, and then the person's identity information was displayed on the big screen.

"Cao Huanlei, 24 years old, is a native of Yonghe City. After dropping out of high school, she worked in several factories in the city. Later, she participated in a singing talent show. Although she didn't get a high ranking, she became a model with her good figure and appearance. The company she works for is called Jiashang Media."

Feng Jianqiu frowned: "Jiashang Media? I seem to have heard of this company's name somewhere before?"

Cai Xiaojing tapped on the keyboard for a while, then turned the computer screen to everyone's eyes: "This company was established five years ago, and the legal representative is Ma Hongtao."

"Ma Hongtao?" Feng Jianqiu suddenly realized and turned to look at Li Xu: "I was wondering why the name of this company sounded so familiar. Li Zhi, when we were investigating Zhang Jing's case and sorting out her social relationships, we found out that one of her ex-boyfriends was named Ma Kang."

"Ma Kang?"

Qiao Xue had also participated in the preliminary investigation of Zhang Jing's case. At this time, she also recalled and took over the conversation: "Yes, this Ma Kang is a rich second-generation. His father is Ma Hongtao. This man is a famous wealthy businessman in our Yonghe City and is involved in many industries."

Li Xu pondered and said, "Now that we have some clues about this case, let's follow Cao Huanlei's social connections and investigate her family, company, friends, etc. one by one to see if we can find a suspect."

"Yes!" everyone replied in unison.

After the meeting, as it was still early, Qiao Xue, Sun Zhihao and Zhang Yong did not delay and immediately set out for Cao Huanlei's rental house.

Cao Huanlei's hometown is in the countryside. Her parents are honest farmers. A month after Cao Huanlei disappeared, her parents could not contact her, so they ran to the police station to report the case.

The report was filed on November 11. After an investigation, the police station found out that Cao Huanlei actually disappeared on October 28. Because Cao Huanlei did not go to work on that day, the telecommunications bureau reported that from that day on, her mobile phone no longer had any call records.

Cao Huanlei lives in a high-end apartment in the city, only three blocks away from her company.

After getting off the car, Qiao Xue and others explained the situation to the property management. Under the guidance of the other party, the group entered the community.

The property staff naturally knew the situation. Two days ago, Zhao Ming and Yi Chunlin came here with a search warrant, and they also specifically informed the property and the landlord that no one was allowed to rent or live in Room 1302.

When walking into the elevator, Qiao Xue glanced at the surveillance camera in the upper right corner of the car. The surveillance camera was intact and not damaged.

Then she asked, "Is the rent expensive here?"

The property manager, holding the key in his hand, replied: "It depends on the situation. It's more expensive for the landlord to rent it out himself. If you rent it out at our property, it will be slightly cheaper."

"What's the exact price?"

"If you have all the appliances, it's probably between 2000 and 2500 per month. The housing prices in our area are quite expensive, and it's the best property in the city."

Qiao Xue memorized the number and followed the property management out of the elevator and into the corridor.

After opening the door, Qiao Xue, Sun Zhihao and Zhang Yong walked in one after another.

The house where Cao Huanlei lives is a two-bedroom apartment. The house is clean and tidy, but because no one has lived there for a long time, the mahogany dining table is covered with a light layer of dust, and you can smell dust in the air.

Qiao Xue subconsciously scratched the coffee table with her index finger, then pinched the dust particles with her thumb.

Because Zhao Ming had investigated and collected evidence before, with his cautious attitude, he would not miss any important evidence here. But this is only for technical personnel. If the criminal police on the front line can fully understand the living habits of the victim, it will be of great help in investigating the case.

Sun Zhihao and Zhang Yong were not rookies either. Wearing shoe covers, they walked into the house and looked around.

These two people came from relatively good backgrounds and had their own taste for the items displayed in the house.

Sun Zhihao opened the shoe cabinet in the entrance hall and took out a pair of high heels: "Qiao Xue, this pair of shoes will cost us half a year's salary."

Although he said so, his expression was not surprised. Zhang Yong pointed to the coat rack beside the entrance and said, "It's normal. Look, the hats hanging on this rack are all Monk's. Cao Huanlei is not a famous model. With her salary, she definitely doesn't have the purchasing power."

Qiao Xue just glanced at the hat and didn't think it was particularly special. Moreover, she had never heard of the brand that Zhang Yong mentioned.

She put on blue latex gloves as she walked towards the bedroom door.

After gently pushing the door open, Qiao Xue looked into the bedroom.

There was a Winnie the Pooh as tall as an adult, crouching on top of the wardrobe, staring at her closely with a pair of black eyes...
