Chapter 195 The female corpse at the collapse site
The downpour lasted all night before it stopped. According to the Liangxian Meteorological Observatory, the amount of precipitation this time was the largest in the history of Liangxian County's meteorological records.
Su Le and Zhang Pengfei were discussing how to monitor Xie Liangpeng and Cao Min. After completing the card replacement procedures at the bank, Cao Min took a car directly to the Tangqian company building and never came out since then. Su Le and the others have not come out since they met at the airport.
I met Xie Liangpeng once and followed him into Tangqian's company and never saw him again.
Liu Heng, who was cooperating with Su Le and the others, suddenly called.
"Officer Su, I have an urgent mission today and I can't accompany you."
"What happened?"
"A landslide occurred in the south of the city. A female body was found at the landslide site. Captain Liang asked me to go to the scene immediately."
"Okay, you go quickly."
Su Le and Zhang Pengfei looked at each other and decided that since Cao Min and Xie Liangpeng could not be found for the time being, they might as well go to the crime scene to see if there was anything they could do to help. So they drove straight there
Landslide site in the south of the city.
The landslide occurred at a turning point of a road, and the entire road was blocked by the mud that slid down from the mountain. At a height of more than one person from the ground, there was a particularly eye-catching red skirt in the middle of the fallen mud. The red skirt was wrapped in
A female corpse with pale skin. From a distance, it looked like the corpse had just begun to decay, and it seemed that the victim had been killed not long ago. The yellow soil, white corpse and red skirt gave people a strong visual impact.
The four policemen were struggling on the rain-soaked loess. They were trying to climb up and get the body down, but the thick mud caused them a lot of trouble. Liang Ronghua anxiously watched the policemen on the road.
Action, a pair of bloodshot eyes were red and swollen, it looked like he hadn't had a good rest in a few days.
"It seems that he was killed not long ago." Su Le walked to Captain Liang and said.
"Officer Su is here." Liang Ronghua glanced at Su Le thoughtfully and replied.
"Any clues?"
"The body hasn't been recovered yet. We've already gone to check for missing persons, but there's no news yet."
"Is there any progress on the armed fighting?"
"Several suspects have been identified and are under investigation."
"If you need help, please feel free to arrange it."
"Okay, you don't need it yet."
The body was lifted from the mound of the landslide, and the forensic doctor was cleaning the yellow mud on the surface of the body. Su Le walked over and saw that the victim was a woman, about 30 years old, and that the head of the body had been violently beaten.
The impact resulted in severe deformation, a large amount of bleeding from the mouth and nose, and multiple fractures and distortions in the limbs.
"The corpse looks very strange," Su Le said to Captain Liang.
"Well, if this girl was killed, she must have been tortured a lot."
"Could it be a car accident?"
"It is also possible that he fell to death from a high altitude."
"If it's these two situations, why do we need to move the body?" Su Le asked puzzledly.
"Captain Liang, here's the missing list." Liu Heng ran over from a distance holding a piece of paper.
Liang Ronghua took the list, glanced at it quickly, and then his eyes stopped at a place on the paper. For more than ten seconds, Captain Liang's eyes were fixed on the paper without blinking.
a name.
"Captain Liang?" Liu Heng called him softly.
Liang Ronghua reacted, pushed Liu Heng away and quickly came to the corpse again, staring at the corpse's unrecognizable face.
"Is it really her?" Liang Ronghua said to himself.
"Captain Liang, do you know the deceased?" Su Le asked.
Liang Ronghua handed the list to Su Le, took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, took a deep breath and said:
"Although the face of the corpse is severely deformed, I think it should be her, Xu Dandan, the room manager of Belvedere Hotel."
"Oh, she is from Belvedere Hotel." Su Le said.
"Xu Dandan is a great beauty in our Liang County. She is very well-known. She should be right."
"Officer Su, I have another piece of news to tell you." Liu Heng, who was standing aside, said.
"I just heard from my colleagues that the person who died in the fight the night before yesterday was named Xie Liangpeng, and he was exactly the person we were looking for."
"Ah, Xie Liangpeng? Is he dead?" Su Le and Zhang Pengfei exclaimed at the same time.
"What? Are you looking for Xie Liangpeng?" Captain Liang asked.
"Yes, he is a key figure in our case."
"Is that armed fight related to the case you are investigating?" Captain Liang asked.
"Xie Liangpeng is the business manager of Tangqian Company. He is engaged in finance. He should not appear in a scene of beatings and killings. What was the cause of his death?" Su Le asked.
"The deceased had many scars and fractures on his body. The fatal injury was caused by being hit on the temple with a blunt instrument. He died of excessive bleeding after falling into coma," Captain Liang said.
After listening to Captain Liang's answer, Su Le fell into deep thought. Xie Liangpeng's death had a great impact on their case. Currently, the only person Eto Okora has come into contact with in Liang County is Xie Liangpeng. Now that Xie Liangpeng is dead, what will happen to Eto Okora next?
How to act? Su Le thought of this and immediately took out his mobile phone to call Deng Ru.
"Hey, Brother Deng, Xie Liangpeng is dead."
"Ah, how could this happen? Then who will contact Eto next?"
"We don't know yet, but I think someone will definitely contact Eto."
"I understand, we will keep a close eye on Jiang Teng."
The meeting room of the Criminal Police Team of Liang County Police Station. Director Xie Xingye is presiding over the meeting. Because Xie Liangpeng is a suspect in the case solved by Su Le and the others, Su Le was also invited to attend the meeting.
"Everyone, the current social security situation in Liang County is not optimistic. In our small county, vicious murders have been discovered for two consecutive days. How can we police officers sleep at night? Captain Liang, as the head of our bureau
Captain of the Interpol, please first tell us about the progress of the two cases." Director Xie said first.
"Okay, the male body found in the backstreet of the Belvedere Hotel is named Xie Liangpeng. He is the business manager of Tangqian Company. After forensic identification, Xie Liangpeng was beaten, his temple was hit hard with a blunt instrument, and he died of excessive bleeding. He died at the landslide site in the south of the city.
The female body found was named Xu Dandan, the room manager of the Belvedere Hotel. The forensic identification showed that Xu Dandan met the characteristics of death from a fall from a high altitude. So far, no connection between the two cases has been found," Liang Ronghua said.
"How can these two cases be related? They are obviously two independent cases!" Director Xie said.
"Based on the autopsy results of the two corpses, we analyzed that the time of death of the two corpses was very close, between 12 o'clock and 2 o'clock the night before yesterday," said the forensic doctor present.
"What's the progress of the investigation? It's been 36 hours since the first body was found. What work have you done?" Director Xie asked.
"We investigated and interviewed nearby residents and employees of the Belvedere Hotel, but no witnesses were found. We investigated the surveillance facilities of the Belvedere Hotel and found that the surveillance equipment was damaged and the hard drive was lost. We found Xie Liangpeng's family to learn about the situation. His wife said the day before yesterday
After Xie Liangpeng went to work in the morning, he never returned. Employees of Tangqian Company told us that Xie Liangpeng drove out alone in the afternoon, and they did not know whether he returned to the company later," Captain Liang replied.
"Have you checked the company's monitoring system before the court?" Su Le asked.
"After checking, we found that Tangqian Company did not install an internal monitoring system." Captain Liang looked at Su Le and replied.
"Officer Su, how much do you know about Xie Liangpeng?" Director Xie asked.
"We met Xie Liangpeng at Hexi Airport the night before yesterday. He picked up a guest at Hexi Airport, arranged for the guest to stay at the Gaili Hotel, and then drove back to Tangqian Company alone. The time he entered Tangqian Company was 9 p.m.
45 minutes." Su Le replied.
"What happened next?" Captain Liang asked.
"We did not continue to monitor Xie Liangpeng that night, but followed another suspect. When we prepared to follow Xie Liangpeng the next day, we found no trace of him. It was not until this morning that we discovered that he had died the night before.
." Su Le replied.
"What crime is Xie Liangpeng suspected of?" Director Xie asked.
Su Le thought about it and answered:
"We suspect that Xie Liangpeng and his men provide money laundering tools for foreign assassination organizations."
"Is there any evidence?"
"Currently, due to Xie Liangpeng's death, our evidence chain has lost a link."
"Well, Captain Liang." Director Xie turned to Liang Ronghua and said.
"You didn't do your job well when such an important suspect was killed. After listening to Officer Su's introduction, I think the person who killed Xie Liangpeng must be related to money laundering crimes."
"Currently, our colleagues in the criminal police team are working hard to investigate the case. We will work closely with Officer Su on money laundering issues," Captain Liang said.
"Yesterday we had a meeting and set a three-day deadline for solving the case. Now one day has passed. I hope you will be able to arrest the criminals in two days."
"We will do our best."
"Captain Liang, don't just talk, he must take practical actions." Wang Chao, captain of the Public Security Brigade of Liang County Police Station who was present here, said.
"Captain Wang, what do you mean!" Liang Ronghua asked angrily.
"Originally, this was just a public security case, under the jurisdiction of our security brigade, but you had to use the excuse of losing a life to snatch the case away, but you still refused to handle it. What do you mean by that?" Wang Chao had no idea.
A polite answer.
"We need to investigate the ins and outs of the matter and find evidence before arresting people. How can we be like your security brigade."
"Hmph, where is the evidence? Your surname is Liang, right?"
"That is your subjective conjecture and there is no evidence at all."
"Okay, okay, stop arguing. What I want is the result. The case must be solved before the deadline. We cannot let the people of Liang County live in fear, and we must give the people an explanation as soon as possible. Okay, today's meeting
That’s it, everyone, hurry up and take action.” Director Xie said.
Su Le listened to everyone's speeches at the meeting today and saw that Liang Ronghua's criminal police team was under great pressure. The heavy pressure to solve the case within a deadline and the cynicism of the security team captain were probably just superficial phenomena. Su Le is now
I can clearly feel the strong smell of gunpowder in the sky above Liang County.
