Wrongful Death Criminal Investigation

"The evidence we currently have is really not enough to prove that Zhou Quan is the murderer. It can only prove that he is suspected and lacks key evidence."

Lu Changfeng said: "It's been too long, even if there were some key evidence back then, it must be missing now."

Bo Jiyang was distressed: "Where should we start to investigate now? I can't find the direction of investigation."

Mingtang said: "A woman disappeared on her way home late at night. If she didn't know the person who took her away, she would definitely struggle hard and leave traces at the scene. If you really want to take the dead away, why do you have to take her with you?" The vehicle of the deceased was also taken away? This can only show one thing, that is, the deceased got on the vehicle voluntarily."

"Let me ask, on the winding mountain road late at night, who are the people who can make the deceased willing to get on the bus?"

Bo Jiyang said, "It must be someone the deceased knew."

Mingtang nodded: "Yes, this person must be someone known to the deceased. There were only seven vehicles that passed by that night and the deceased knew each other. The direction of the police investigation at the beginning did not start with the time when the deceased disappeared, but from the time period when the deceased disappeared. The final result of the vehicles that may be encountered in the car. Among them, the reason why four vehicles were directly excluded is that they went home directly, and their family members testified to them. In addition, the police later checked their vehicles and found nothing. There is no trace left by the dead."

"Why do we have to investigate the specific time of the deceased's disappearance now? Because we know the specific time of the deceased's disappearance, we can find loopholes in the testimony of passing vehicles and see if anyone is lying."

Qiu Shaoyang said: "Among the seven people, only Li Fuqiang said that he saw Jiang Fengxia, so we must first prove whether what the others said is true."

Lu Changfeng: "I'll ask someone to send me the time when these vehicles left the town in order."

Mingtang asked Li Fuqiang to be sent home, and then went to Zhou Quan's house to join them.

Back in the car, Chen Yanjia sent the organized news to their group.

It was 22:09 when Jiang Fengxia walked out of the monitoring area of ​​the town.

Li Fuqiang scored 22:12.

Dai Ran at 22:14.

Li Jianglin at 22:18.

Then Gu Chuanhai drove past the surveillance camera at 22:22.

Yao Xingwang at 22:27.

Yao Xingxiang at 22:31.

Chen Jun at 22:33.

After seeing this timetable sorted out, everyone had a very big doubt.

Is there something important on this day?So everyone returns home from town at about the same time?

But at the same time, at this point in time, Mingtang and the others found a loophole.

Jiang Fengxia and Li Fuqiang met at around 22:20 that night.

According to the driving speed of Dai Ran and Jiang Fengxia, the two of them should meet by chance around 22:22.

Dai Ran, who started only 2 minutes later than Li Fuqiang, said that he did not see Jiang Fengxia.

Li Jianglin left the town 6 minutes later than Li Fuqiang. If he also maintained a constant speed, then he could also meet Jiang Fengxia at around 22:26.

The place where they met could be estimated based on Jiang Fengxia's driving speed.

Only Li Fuqiang said that he had met Jiang Fengxia.

If Li Jianglin did not lie, it means that Jiang Fengxia disappeared between 22:20-22:26 that night.

During this period of time, Dai Ran was the only person who met Jiang Fengxia in passing vehicles.

Moreover, many of the vehicles passing by during this time period at night are passing vehicles. The police have checked the passing vehicles on the entire road section one by one, so that other vehicles can be ruled out as no suspects.

Lu Changfeng got out of the car and walked towards Mingtang and their vehicle.

Mingtang also got out of the car and came to the side of the road.

Qiu Shaoyang lowered the car window, Ming Tang stood at the front of the car, and Lu Changfeng leaned against the rear door of the passenger seat.

"From the point of view of time, Dai Ran is very suspicious." Lu Changfeng looked at Mingtang and asked his opinion.

Mingtang said: "I also think he is very suspicious. Judging from Li Fuqiang's attitude, I don't think he lied. He did see Jiang Fengxia."

Lu Changfeng snapped his fingers: "Then we want to talk to Dai Ran and Li Jianglin now."

Mingtang looked at Qiu Shaoyang, deliberately teasing him: "Does Consultant Qiu have any opinions?"

"Consultant Qiu has no opinion." Qiu Shaoyang replied: "The investigation is over."

Lu Changfeng smiled and turned back to his car.

Ming Tang stretched out his hand to touch Qiu Shaoyang's face, and then went around the front of the car to drive.

Qiu Shaoyang: "Why are you apologizing?"

Mingtang: "I can't help it, who made you too attractive. If you don't touch it, I feel like I'm at a loss."

Qiu Shaoyang opened the small refrigerator in the car, took out a bottle of water, before opening it, Ming Tang snatched it, and threw him a bottle of normal temperature water, "Don't drink ice this season."

Qiu Shaoyang didn't say anything.

Ming Tang discussed with Lu Changfeng, and decided that Ming Tang and Qiu Shaoyang would go to find Dai Ran, and Lu Changfeng would take Bo Jiyang to find Li Jianglin.

They are all from the same village, and they don't live very far away. It may take a certain amount of time to walk, but it only takes a few minutes to drive.

Mingtang and Qiu Shaoyang got out of the car, while Dairan was watching TV at home.There is still a plaster cast on the leg.

Dai Ran's daughter-in-law looked at their strange faces and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Mingtang said: "Look for Dairan."

Dai Ran looked at him with puzzlement in his eyes.

Mingtang opened his police officer ID.

Qiu Shaoyang didn't know why, but he liked watching Mingtang hold up his police officer's card to prove his identity, and felt very attractive.

Most of the time, Mingtang is a kind of oppressive existence.

This depends on his height and his face, giving the impression that the visitor is not kind.

But there is another word that is more suitable for him, evil does not suppress justice.

Although the state he displayed at certain moments would make people feel pressured, but as long as he showed his police officer ID, that evil spirit would disappear.

Dai Ran's wife was also stunned when she saw the police officer's ID, and then turned to look at Dai Ran, "What's wrong with you?"

Dai Ran looked helpless: "I also want to know what trouble I caused."

Mingtang said: "We came to you to investigate the disappearance of Jiang Fengxia 13 years ago."

Both Dai Ran and his wife were shocked, "The police are still investigating the case from 13 years ago."

They interviewed a lot of people this time, and everyone basically had the same reaction. They never thought that someone would investigate the case back then.

So it was normal that Dai Ran and his wife were among the surprised crowd.

Ming Tang looked at Dai Ran's wife: "We need to talk to Dai Ran alone."

Dai Ran's wife: "You talk, I'll make dumplings."

After Dai Ran's wife left, Mingtang and Qiu Shaoyang sat opposite Dai Ran.

Mingtang: "Can you recount what happened that night?"

Dai Ran turned down the volume of the TV, and then said: "It's been too long. I went home from the town that night, and I went home directly as usual. I didn't find anything abnormal during the process. Until the police found me I said that Jiang Fengxia was missing, and then asked me to make a record, and there was no more."

Qiu Shaoyang said: "According to the surveillance at the intersection in the town, you passed the surveillance intersection at 22:14 that night. In front of you, Li Fuqiang from your village passed the surveillance at 22:12 at night, and Jiang Fengxia passed the surveillance at 22:09, this is the time she passed the monitoring every night. At 22:20, Li Fuqiang and Jiang Fengxia met in the bend next to Zhao Jiawei’s house. You are only 2 minutes behind him. If you drive faster, It is almost possible to meet Jiang Fengxia around the same time as Li Fuqiang, but you told us that you did not meet Jiang Fengxia. You were the only vehicle passing by during this time period that night, do you know what this means?"

Dairan's hand holding the remote control trembled slightly.

Both Mingtang and Qiu Shaoyang noticed this.

Qiu Shaoyang chased after the victory, "We all know that it is impossible for a living person to disappear during normal driving without leaving any traces. Things like alien spaces only appear in novels, so the only explanation is that they passed by that night. Man, someone is lying."

"Li Jianglin left the town 4 minutes later than you. He didn't meet Jiang Fengxia on the road. According to his speed, Jiang Fengxia was driving normally and the place where he met him was almost at the fork in Jiang Fengxia's house. That section of the road happened to be densely populated. If If something really happened at night, the residents living nearby will know about it. From this, it can be deduced that the most likely thing is that you are lying."

Qiu Shaoyang said: "We found Jiang Fengxia's body in the ravine on the Panshan Highway to Dachuan. Now the case can be summed up not just as a disappearance case. This is a murder case. Failure to report it is illegal. I hope you If you know anything, you can tell it in full, instead of hiding it. You know, you are the most suspected person so far."

"It has nothing to do with me." Dai Ran hurriedly said, "This matter really has nothing to do with me."

"In detail, you know something." Qiu Shaoyang crossed his legs, waiting for Dai Ran to explain all the facts he knew.

Dai Ran said: "That night after I walked out at the bend next to Zhao Jiawei's house, I saw Jiang Fengxia parked the car on the side of the road. Her mobile phone had just run out of battery, so I stopped the car and asked her what was wrong. It's unsafe for her to be a girl on the side of the road in the middle of the night."

"At that time, the tire of her car fell out of the wheel for some reason, and I couldn't help her repair the car in a short time. Where would we install the tires of the electric car, so I helped her carry the car on my own. Car, then took him for a while, put her at the intersection of their house, and then I left. "

"Originally, I wanted to send her home, but she disagreed. She said that the road was going downhill, and she would be able to get home by pushing it. If I sent her home, Zhou Quan would have to quarrel with her again." Dai Ran looked Glancing at them, he explained: "Zhou Quan is rather stingy and doesn't like Jiang Fengxia's contact with men other than him, so I respect Jiang Fengxia's decision and put her at the intersection."

"In other words, Jiang Fengxia went home that night, right?"

Dai Ran said: "It's actually hard to say. I left after I helped her put the car at the intersection, and I didn't watch her go home, so I can't be sure if she has gone home."

"Why didn't you tell me at that time?" If Dai Ran hadn't concealed it at that time, maybe the police would not have gone astray in the investigation at that time.

Dai Ran: "At that time, I thought it was a small dispute between the husband and wife, and then Jiang Fengxia might have hid, but I didn't expect that the matter would gradually become serious. Jiang Fengxia really disappeared. With Zhou Quan's temper, if he knew Before his wife disappeared, I drove his wife for a while, so he would have to stab me to death with a knife."

"For the sake of my safety, I didn't tell this matter." Dai Ran raised three fingers: "I swear to God, Jiang Fengxia's death really has nothing to do with me."

Dai Ran added: "If Jiang Fengxia was killed, then Zhou Quan must be very suspicious. He has raped Jiang Fengxia more than once."

Mingtang: "How do you say that?"

Dai Ran said: "My wife's sister is a nurse at the health office in our town. She and Jiang Fengxia were playmates when they were young. Jiang Fengxia would go to her to get some medicine for bruises. She went there many times. My sister-in-law also I became suspicious, and only found out that Zhou Quan would rape Jiang Fengxia after asking the end. It's just that Zhou Quan never hit on the surface, and he always hit his body, and others can't see it."

"My sister-in-law said that Jiang Fengxia thought about divorcing Zhou Quan back then, but our town is only so big, and the divorce made things worse. Jiang Fengxia would lose face staying in the town, so she planned to go to the city to find job, and then divorced Zhou Quan during the summer vacation."

Mingtang: "Why don't you report these things to the police?"

"We chatted about this after dinner. When Jiang Fengxia just disappeared, no one connected these things. It took many years before we brought it up again."

From Dai Ran's standpoint, even if he knew about these things, it was impossible for him to take the initiative to tell the police about these things.

After all, we all belong to the same village, we can't see up and down, and there is no evidence of a stone hammer, so we ran to tell the police that nothing can be investigated by then, so it's not that there are people inside and out.

Mingtang could understand why they didn't report the situation to the police.

But in the end, a hole was torn for this matter.

Dai Ran said: "For details, you need to ask my sister-in-law, she and Jiang Fengxia are much more familiar with us than we are."

"Others don't know how good their relationship is, and they think that Jiang Fengxia went to the health center to see a doctor to recuperate her body and prepare for her pregnancy."

Mingtang and Qiu Shaoyang basically read all the files, but they didn't find in the files that among the first people the police interviewed for evidence collection were nurses from the health center.

So this is the negligence of the police investigation at that time.

However, this cannot be blamed on the police who organized the investigation at that time. At that time, they were investigating the disappearance case, and Mingtang and the others started with a sensitive point of entry. There is a big difference in the investigation of the two cases.

Dai Ran asked: "In my situation, I shouldn't go to jail."

Mingtang: "Now cooperate with us in our investigation and try to make up for your mistakes."

Dai Ran's failure to report the knowledge, but he does not constitute perjury, and his failure to report the knowledge was based on the situation at the time to protect his own safety, and he does not need to take any responsibility for this.

The reason for saying this is to let him cooperate as much as possible and tell everything he knows.

Qiu Shaoyang knew what Ming Tang was thinking, and acquiesced to Ming Tang's words.

Dai Ran said: "I will definitely cooperate with your investigation."

Mingtang: "About Zhou Quan and Jiang Fengxia's relationship, do you know anything else?"

Dai Ran thought for a while and said, "There is one thing that I don't know what you think."

"Tell me." Mingtang raised his chin at him.

Dai Ran: "That's right, Zhou Quan's house was redecorated to marry Li Ru, and then people from our village went to help move things, and then I saw the scarf that Jiang Fengxia was wearing the night she disappeared in a cabinet."

Mingtang: "Are you sure Jiang Fengxia took it with her that night?"

Dai Ran nodded: "Yes, it's very cold to ride a bicycle in the mountains at night in March. At that time, we had to wear two layers of clothes when we drove, and we had to wrap our bicycles tightly. I remember very clearly that the scarf was from Jiang Fengxia and My wife bought it together when she went to the city to buy new year's goods, and my wife has exactly the same pair."
