Song Xinxin came over after hearing the sound and said suspiciously: "How could you have seen this? This is a complete human head that I calculated using software based on the skull fragments in the Huahuo Village pond. The error rate is very high."
There was a murder case in Huahuo Village, and corpse remains were found in the pond. Among them was an incomplete skull fragment. Song Xinxin kept it for many years and never gave up on the restoration work. However, it was too difficult and she used her own software. It was developed without any confidence.
"I have indeed seen it." Shen Hongyi said firmly, "But the hairstyle should be changed. The double braid does not suit our heroine's temperament. The double ponytail is more tasteful."
Song Xinxin immediately took off the wig on the head model, untied the braid, changed it into a double ponytail, and combed it with a comb. Shen Hongyi took the comb and gave the model bangs.
"That's almost it." Shen Hongyi looked around and admired: "Professor Song, you are really amazing."
Song Xinxin hugged her arms and said coldly: "Stop flattering me and tell me where you met this person."
Shen Hongyi said: "Guess."
Song Xinxin said: "Are you itchy, Director Shen?"
One thing brings another, Shen Hongyi looks majestic outside, but in front of Song Xinxin, he is like a docile little pug. He immediately did not dare to show off, and said obediently: "I saw their house when I was investigating Liu Fei's hometown. From the old photo album, Liu Fei’s mother is a twin sister, and they are at least 90% similar to the head model you reconstructed.”
Shen Hongyi has a master's degree in criminal investigation, and identifying human features is his specialty. Song Xinxin naturally did not doubt his level and immediately paid attention to it: "So, is one of Liu Fei's mother's twin sisters missing or dead?"
"Yes, Liu Fei's aunt disappeared in the early 1980s and has not been found yet. At that time, social problems were very serious and public security issues were quite prominent, so that was why there were subsequent arrests and crackdowns." Shen Hongyi said solemnly. , "Of course, people with similar looks do exist. There are more than one billion people in China. It cannot be ruled out that there are people who are completely unrelated but look very similar."
Song Xinxin said: "Check it out. I have been studying this skull for six years and have feelings for it. It is my responsibility to help her find her family."
With Shen Hongyi's current resources, it was easy to investigate one thing. He retrieved the public security files from 1981 and discovered a shocking secret.
Liu Fei's aunt, Liu Weihong, disappeared on April 5, 1981. Although her body was not found, she was deemed a homicide by the public security organs, and someone was held criminally responsible. Three local men were arrested, and the first offender was sentenced to death. , were shot to death a week later, and the two accomplices were sentenced to life imprisonment. One died in the Gobi Desert in the northwest, and the other was later commuted to 20 years in prison. He was released in 2002 and still lives near Qinghai Prison.
On the yellowed file, there is the name of the policeman who handled the case. The three characters "Xu Hongbing" are written vigorously. It can be seen that he is an educated police officer with a certain cultural level.
Shen Hongyi arranged a plane and flew to Qinghai, where he found the prisoner Zhu ** in the labor camp.
Zhu ** was born in 1966. He was only fourteen years old when he was sentenced. Now he is a middle-aged man in his fifties. Years of prison life have made him more haggard than his peers. He looks like he is in his seventies. A decrepit old man.
Shen Hongyi revealed his identity. The old man was very calm. He was smoking a cigarette and squinting his eyes in the northwest sunshine, lost in memories of the past.
"An unjust case, an absolute unjust case." Zhu ** said, "We are indeed naughty, but we can't do things like murder. I don't even know what the victim looks like. The same goes for my two brothers. Then We had been playing together for a few days and had no time to commit crimes. I still remember the pork vermicelli my family ate that night. My dad is a cadre of a supply and marketing cooperative. He has a lot of money and cuts meat fatter than others. You young people don’t know. "In those days, fat meat was valuable and could be used to refine oil. The people were short of oil and water."
Shen Hongyi listened quietly without interrupting his thoughts.
The ravine on Mr. Zhu's forehead was like a knife or an axe. He spent all his youth in the northwest Gobi.
"That night, I ate two bowls of rice and couldn't hold on any longer." The old man laughed at himself, "Otherwise, I wouldn't have been unable to run away when the police came to arrest me."
"They came to arrest me in the middle of the night. They picked me up from the bed, handcuffed me behind my back, and took me away naked. I looked at my mother before I left. That was the last time I looked at her." Zhu** His eyes began to sparkle, and he lit another cigarette. The cigarette was Soft China brought by Shen Hongyi.
"Later, you all know that the three people we often played with were all convicted. There was no trial at all. They just went through the motions and sentenced us to rape, murder and robbery. The eldest brother was shot a week later. I was shot because I was not old enough, and the other one was shot. The unlucky guy will be sentenced to life, and he will be squatting in the northwest for twenty years."
Shen Hongyi couldn't help but ask: "Have you never appealed?"
**Zhu shook his head: "It's useless. During the severe crackdown, you were very kind to me if you were not shot. Later, I appealed in the 1990s. People said that the files back then could not be found and no one paid any attention to you."
Shen Hongyi asked: "Then do you know how the victim died?"
**Zhu said: "I don't know her at all. Later, my family also checked and said that the woman has relatives from the police station. We can't deal with her."
Shen Hongyi thought deeply, Liu Weihong's family has no relatives who are police officers, how could such a statement be made?
Zhu ** had no valuable clues here, so Shen Hongyi returned to Liu Fei's hometown. This is a small county in a neighboring province with a small area, many commercial buildings, and real estate billboards everywhere.
Liu Fei's hometown is in the dormitory of the Education Bureau. His biological mother is Liu Weiqing. She is a retired teacher. She is well-maintained and behaves very well-educated and graceful. The furnishings in the house are simple and stylish. There is a scrubber in the room. A polished piano.
"My son bought this for me." The old man touched the Pearl River piano and said affectionately.
Shen Hongyi sat on the sofa, full of doubts in his mind. Liu Fei was a single-parent family, with only his mother. However, he checked the information and found that Liu Weiqing had never married and never asked for maternity leave. These files cannot be faked. The old man in front of him The teacher is probably not Liu Fei’s biological mother.
"That's it, Teacher Liu." Shen Hongyi considered his words, "We are investigating an old case, the case of your sister, Liu Weihong."
Liu Weiqing said calmly: "It has been so many years, and there is not much difference whether it is checked or not."
Shen Hongyi said: "The police found an incomplete skull in a pond in Omi Huahuo Village. After six years of technical identification, it was confirmed that it was Liu Weihong's skull. I had also been to Qinghai before and asked about one of the murderers. , he said he had never seen the deceased, and I have reason to believe that this was an unjust case."
Liu Weiqing said: "Now it seems that maybe it was really an unjust case. The house was in a mess at that time, Liu Fei was crying for food, and the old man was too sad. Besides, we trust the public security agencies. How could the victim's family investigate the case on their own?"
Shen Hongyi said: "So, why did your sister go to Omi? As far as I know, she was just a young teacher at the time and did not receive a business trip."
Liu Weiqing was silent for a while and said: "She is looking for someone."
"Who are you looking for?"
"Find a man. That man was with us when he jumped in line and was in a relationship with my sister. Later, his father was rehabilitated and his treatment was restored, so he returned to the city."
An old song suddenly replayed in Shen Hongyi's mind, "There is a girl named Xiaofang in the village, she is good-looking and kind... Thank you for the love you gave me, thank you for the tenderness you gave me, and accompanying me through that era... …”
"That man is Liu Fei's father!" Shen Hongyi said categorically. The detective's reasoning ability allowed him to quickly connect various clues together.
After a long silence, Liu Weiqing sighed and finally admitted: "Yes, my sister went to find him. Liu Fei was only three months old at the time, and my sister had just given birth. The man was unwilling to take responsibility and was evasive. Yes, the conditions at that time were not as developed as they are now, so we could only communicate through letters. My sister had no choice, she had a child before she was married, and she couldn't hold her head up, so she had to go to Omi to find that person."
"That person is probably the real murderer." Shen Hongyi said, "What's his name!"
"My name is Xu Hongbing." Liu Weiqing said calmly, "He is a well-dressed beast. When he was in love with my sister, he still had some evil thoughts about me. Unfortunately, my sister was blinded by love and fell in love with him. "
Xu Hongbing! Isn’t he the policeman handling the case?
Shen Hongyi understood that this Chen Shimei in the 1980s killed her lover for the sake of her own personal future, and took advantage of the opportunity of severe crackdowns to frame the blame on several innocent young people. This was not just an unjust case, but a major murder case that was deeply buried. Moreover, the police know the law and break it.
Returning to Omi, Shen Hongyi immediately started investigating Xu Hongbing. In his first impression, Xu Hongbing should be a retired policeman in the public security system. He managed to become a third-level police officer and now enjoys a peaceful family life with Yier and his grandson. But what he didn't expect was that Xu Hongbing turned out to be Xu Xinhe's former name!
Xu Hongbing was originally called Xu Xinhe. During the Revolution, he changed his name to Red Soldier in order to keep up with the trend. He joined the rebel organization and was heavily in debt. Later, the educated youth went to the mountains and countryside. He was sent to Liu Weihong's hometown, where he spent several years as an educated youth. Later, he was His defeated father, Xu Tingge, was rehabilitated, regained his salary, and became deputy secretary of the Jiangdong Provincial Party Committee again. Xu Hongbing also improved, participated in the first college entrance examination after the revolution, and became the proud man of the day.
Xu Xinhe's files are top secret, and Shen Hongyi's level is not enough to access them, but he can ask for authorization from higher-ups, and with Zheng Jeff's intervention, he can continue the investigation.
Xu's files have been altered and the original records have been destroyed, but files can be destroyed, but people cannot be silenced. After Shen Hongyi's personal investigation, he learned that Xu Xinhe's so-called first-generation college student experience was fictitious, and he did not pass the exam at all. After graduating from college, with the help of his father, he returned to the city and entered the public security system and became a criminal police officer.
The investigation continued to deepen, and more truths were revealed that left Shen Hongyi dumbfounded. Xu Xinhe continued to have a relationship with Liu Weihong while he was a policeman, which led to the woman becoming pregnant and giving birth to a child. However, the marriage was severely opposed by the family, and Xu Tingge arranged another marriage for his son. A political marriage, the woman was the daughter of the organization minister at the time, and the woman's style problems were also quite serious. It was said that she was very close to a popular movie star, and she was also arrested for having a black-light dance party in the villa of a senior official on Fenglin Road. processed.
Shen Hongyi found the "Popular Films" of that year and found that the facial features of the male movie star were somewhat similar to Xu Jiaojiao.
"Only the stone lion at the gate is clean." Shen Hongyi was filled with emotion.
