I'm just a trainee police officer. I don't really want to solve the case.

"Test me?" Qi Lei laughed. He actually knew who Xue Pingyang's parents were.

When I read Xue Pingyang's information at that time, I found it strange. His mother's surname was Lin, his father's surname was Zhou, but his surname was Xue. Later I found out that the one surnamed Lin was his stepmother, and his biological mother was Xue Ping, and he took his biological mother's surname.

"Then do you know that his stepmother Lin Xuejiao was the victim of Qiu Mingzhang's robbery and assault case?"

Qi Lei really didn't know that although he read the verdict that day, the verdict and other public documents need to protect the privacy of victims and witnesses, and the full names of these people will not be displayed. At most, it will be the victim Lin and the witness Zhou.

Therefore, he did not know the victim's name.

If Xue Pingyang is Zhou Hui's son, then the situation is indeed a bit complicated.

The situation between Qiu Yan and Xue Pingyang might not be as simple as domestic violence.

Su Xiaoxiao also had a headache. When she saw the information sent by her classmates showing that Zhou Hui's son was Xue Pingyang, she was shocked.

The three members of the family of three who were victims of the robbery and assault case all died, two died and one became a vegetable. If there is a connection between them, it would be terrible.

"Captain Qi, let's assume, I mean assume, that Qiu Mingzhang's robbery and murder case was a wrongful case, and Qiu Mingzhang was not only not the murderer, but also the biggest victim. Then, does this case look different?"

"How do you know this is a false accusation?"

Qi Lei knew that Su Xiaoxiao was investigating the case of that year, and thought that she sympathized with Qiu Yan's situation and did not take it seriously.

But the development of the matter was beyond his expectations, especially the fact that Xue Pingyang was related to the victim of that year.

"It's just a hunch." After all, she couldn't say that she could see the scene when the crime happened. "When I read the case file, I found two suspicious points."

"tell me the story."

"The first point is that Qiu Mingzhang never admitted guilt from beginning to end. Even if he was facing a heavier punishment or the possibility of death penalty, he would rather die than plead guilty. The second point, Captain Qi, do you remember Qiu Yan said that her grandmother gave the house as compensation to the victim, and the victim issued a letter of forgiveness, so Qiu Mingzhang was sentenced to life imprisonment in the second trial, right?"

Qi Lei nodded. It was true. They had heard Qiu Yan say that when they were listening to the interrogation.

"But I didn't find any letter of apology in the case file. Not only did Lin Xuejiao and Zhou Hui not issue a letter of apology, but they also asked the court to impose a heavier sentence. The second instance changed the sentence because the first instance was indeed too heavy, not because of them."

It is indeed very strange, Qi Lei thought, taking other people's things but not doing anything for them, the victim has no martial ethics and is too greedy.

"Bring me the case file later." It seems he needs to study it carefully.

"Okay, one more thing, Captain Qi, did you know that Qiu Yan's grandmother's house was originally located in this location?"

Qi Lei shook his head. How would he know?

"The old house was demolished, and Zhou Hui and his family not only got a resettlement house, but also received a compensation. This is the resettlement house they got, and Zhou Hui gave it to Xue Pingyang."

"Does Qiu Yan know about this?" Qi Lei thought. If she knew, then everything would have to be started over again.

"It's unlikely that Qiu Yan knew, and she didn't know that Lin Xuejiao and Zhou Hui had deceived them. However, there is one person who definitely knows."

Qi Lei knew that Su Xiaoxiao was talking about Qiu Mingzhang. If he had really been wronged for decades, who would he hate the most?

Of course, it was the victim Lin Xuejiao who testified against him. Only Lin Xuejiao had close contact with both him and the robber.

Although they were dressed similarly and were both wearing masks, it was easy to confuse them from a distance, but it was not difficult for people who had close contact with them to see the difference. Perhaps Lin Xuejiao's testimony back then was a lie.

"What I am worried about now is not Qiu Yan, but Qiu Mingzhang."

The development of events is verifying Xiangnan's analysis that Qiu Mingzhang may have already taken action.

Lin Xuejiao, Zhou Hui, and Xue Pingyang, these three people are all dead, and it is probably related to Qiu Mingzhang in some way. Not only did their family cause him to go to jail, but they also bullied his only daughter. No one can tolerate this.

If Qiu Mingzhang knew that Xue Pingyang bullied his daughter, there was a high possibility that he would attack him, and Qiu Yan was just covering for him.

During the interrogation, she repeatedly mentioned that she hated her father and even wished she had never had a father. Isn't this a way to protect her father?

Because if she could be successfully identified as acting in self-defense, then both of them would be fine.

"I figured it out." Qi Lei and Su Xiaoxiao said at the same time.

"You speak first."

"I realized why the wounds on the body seemed a little strange, because the deceased was indeed killed by a single stab wound. The extra stab wounds were actually meant to cover up the fatal wound and create the illusion of random stabbing," said Su Xiaoxiao.

"It seems we have the same idea. Let's go back and interrogate Qiu Yan."

"Captain Qi, I won't go with you. I'm not good at interrogation anyway. I want to visit the police who were in charge of Qiu Mingzhang's case."

"Okay, go ahead. I'll have someone keep an eye on Qiu Mingzhang first."

Qi Lei is now inclined to believe Su Xiaoxiao's words. Qiu Mingzhang may really be wronged. If he has already started to seek revenge, there may be more victims. They must take precautions before it happens.

The police officers responsible for solving the case were Xu Yajun and Liu Tang. At that time, they were just ordinary criminal police officers, but their current development is very different.

Xu Yajun has become the deputy director of the Nancheng Branch of Jingzhong City, but Liu Tang retired early due to injury.

Liu Tang was 35 years old when he handled this case, and now he is 60 years old.

He was injured in the process of chasing a suspect, which resulted in a disabled leg. He had long since retired from the position of front-line criminal police and completed the retirement procedures in advance. Considering that his children were busy and he did not want to drag them down, he moved into a nursing home.

This nursing home called Xingyun looks nice and is decorated with a cultural atmosphere. There are landscape paintings hanging on the walls of the reception room, and the sofas are imitation mahogany sofas, giving it an antique feel.

Su Xiaoxiao took out her ID and registered, then waited in the reception room. There was a photo wall on one wall of the reception room, with photos of the elderly people living there. They all looked very happy, with their names next to them.

Just as she was about to take a closer look, an old man in a wheelchair came in. He had a square face, thick eyebrows, half-white hair, and looked very energetic. He was Liu Tang.

After hearing Su Xiaoxiao's purpose, he was not too surprised. He had a deep impression of this case, and he also had doubts about this matter back then.

Qiu Mingzhang never admitted his guilt and even made up a story with details, saying that there was someone else who committed the robbery. That person was half a head shorter than him and had a mole between his eyebrows.

Is there a mole between the eyebrows?

Su Xiaoxiao recalled the scene she saw at that time. The man was indeed shorter than Qiu Mingzhang, but she saw the whole picture, without a close-up, so she couldn't see clearly whether there was a mole between his eyebrows.

At that time, Liu Tang felt that what he said sounded very true, so he went to visit the surrounding areas, but he still couldn't find a man with a mole between his eyebrows.

Later, Xu Yajun said that they had done everything they could, and whether to convict or not was the court's business, so he should stop interfering.

"By the way, when you were taking notes, did you include Qiu Mingzhang's statement about the mole between his eyebrows?"

"of course."

Strange, she didn't see any record of a mole between the eyebrows in the case file. Could it be that she missed it?

"Are you familiar with Xu Yajun?"

"Yes, we are familiar with each other. We have been comrades-in-arms for many years. Unfortunately, I can only spend my days here." Liu Tang still has many emotions when talking about his old friend.

"Then can you help me contact him? I also want to ask him about what happened back then."

"Okay, I'll help you get in touch right away."

Liu Tang took out his phone and dialed a number. The call was quickly connected. Liu Tang told the other party that Su Xiaoxiao wanted to see him. He didn't know what the other party said, and Liu Tang's face darkened.

After hanging up the phone, he was silent for a long time before speaking.

"He said that he is too busy lately and has no time, so he asked you to make an appointment with his assistant. Sorry, I forgot that he is the deputy director. The little friendship we had back then is no longer enough." Liu Tang laughed at himself.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'll figure it out myself, thank you very much."

When Su Xiaoxiao stood up and prepared to leave, she glanced at the photo wall and suddenly saw a familiar name on it. Was she also in this nursing home?
