Chen Bai flipped through the case file that Mu Bai gave him. The common point between the two cases was that the man was tied to the bed and shot with many knives. But the difference was that the murderer in Mu Bai's case only removed the deceased's testicles and did not
stuffed into the mouth of the deceased.
"Chen Bai, do you think that woman has accomplices outside?"
Mu Bai was a little surprised. If this was the case, the woman would have figured it out without speaking.
"I'm not sure yet, but I want to meet that woman, and I have a few questions to ask her."
"Okay, I'll help you do it."
When Chen Bai returned to the office, he saw a woman sitting on the sofa in the office. The woman looked impatient and seemed reluctant to come here.
"Chen Bai, this is Feng Yulan, Zhang Zhenan's wife."
After Bai Hongwei finished speaking, he pulled Chen Bai aside.
"Chen Bai, I think there is something wrong with this woman. When we first found this woman, we didn't say that Zhang Zhenan was dead. We just said that Zhang Zhenan was arrested and asked her to come to the police station. The woman's behavior at that time was similar to now.
But when we came to the police station and told her that her husband was actually dead and had been killed, the woman's reaction was slightly excited, even a little happy."
Chen Bai turned around and saw the woman with her legs crossed and an impatient look on her face.
"Afterwards, we took this woman to the morgue to identify the body. I thought that couples who had been married for many years wanted to see it, but this woman didn't want to see the body. She finally went there only after our persuasion. But in the end, even though she was
After entering, the woman just took a casual look at the body and then came out. As for the questions we asked, the woman didn't know anything about it. She just asked us when the case could be closed and when Zhang Zhenan's death certificate could be issued. She wanted to
I need to help my husband choose a cemetery as soon as possible. As the old saying goes, he will be laid to rest, and it is shameful to lie in the police station all the time."
Chen Bai frowned. Judging from this woman's behavior, it was impossible for her to care about her husband so much, so this woman must have some other purpose.
"Ms. Feng, don't worry. We have just learned about your husband, and we want to solve the case as soon as possible. But now, we have many clues that we can't connect. In addition to calling you here to identify the body, in fact
Another purpose is to understand some of your husband’s daily interpersonal relationships and other things. Only if you cooperate with us can we close the case as soon as possible.”
When Chen Bai said this, he suddenly added something inexplicable.
"I still remember the last time a victim's family refused to tell the truth and was unwilling to cooperate. As a result, the case took more than a year to be concluded, and the murderer almost escaped."
After Chen Bai finished speaking, the woman immediately changed her face.
"Comrade police, I'm really sorry. I'm not annoying you. It's just that my husband is the backbone of our family. Now that my husband has died and I am left alone, I still don't know how to live my life. If you want to know, just ask. I know.
I will definitely tell you."
"Ms. Feng, has your husband made any enmity with anyone?"
This is also the most important issue. The murderer who killed Zhang Zhenan obviously had a strong hatred for Zhang Zhenan.
"I don't know much about it at work. My husband never tells me about his work affairs. But in life, I'm sure there is no such thing. My husband never has a dispute with others."
Chen Bai nodded, took the pen on the table, wrote an address and handed it to the woman.
"Are you familiar with this address?"
Chen Bai didn't say it, but wrote it specifically, just to see the woman's reaction. Asking suddenly might be able to catch him off guard, but deliberately leaving time to think, he could also tell whether the woman was lying.
"No, I don't know where this place is."
The woman shook her head, while Chen Bai kept observing the woman's reaction and knew that she was not lying.
"Ms. Feng, the next question may be a little offensive, but I still hope you can answer it truthfully. Does your husband have a better relationship with the opposite sex besides you?"
"What do you mean? Let me tell you, my husband and I have a very good relationship. There has never been a situation where anyone has betrayed the other. The relationship between us is very good, very good."
Chen Bai nodded and placed the water Da Binzi had just poured in front of the woman.
"Ms. Feng, don't get me wrong. These are just normal inquiries. Your husband is renting a house behind your back and will not come back for three days on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Don't you have any questions about this?"
Feng Yulan felt a little embarrassed when she heard Chen Bai ask this.
"That's right. My husband and I have discussed that couples need to give each other some space, so sometimes we don't care what the other person does."
Although the woman said this, she had completely lost her previous momentum.
"That's right, so you don't know what your husband is doing anymore?"
"yes!"
Chen Bai nodded and asked Feng Yulan to go back. When Feng Yulan walked to the door of the office, she suddenly looked back at Chen Bai and asked.
"Comrade police, when will you solve the case?"
"Ms. Feng, please go back first! If there is any progress in the case, I will inform you."
Feng Yulan had no choice but to go back first.
"Teacher Chen, isn't the contrast between this woman's front and back too great?"
Feng Qianqian was a little confused, but Chen Bai smiled and said.
"What's wrong with this? I think this woman can't wait to get her husband's inheritance or insurance money, right?"
"Yes, Zhang Zhen'an once bought himself a lot of insurance. Although many of them were critical illness and critical illness insurance, there was still an accident insurance worth three million."
At this time, Li Huan had already started checking Zhang Zhenan's bank statements and discovered Zhang Zhenan's insurance purchase records.
"Li Huan, is there any problem with Zhang Zhenan's bank statements?"
"No, apart from the fixed mortgage, car loan and insurance, it's basically some takeaway or supermarket consumption records. But..."
Li Huan suddenly paused when he said this. Chen Bai quickly walked to Li Huan. Li Huan pointed at one of the bank statements and said.
"However, Zhang Zhenan has an online shopping record every month. I checked that what Zhang Zhenan bought was a testicle-stimulating capsule called Men's Energy."
"More than 1,500 per bottle? Health care products for rich people are too expensive!"
After Da Binzi finished speaking, Wu Di interjected from the side.
"Look, you don't understand. In fact, for some middle-aged men, especially those who still have money, their health is the most important. Therefore, buying these things is very profitable.
of."
Although the surveillance footage was not very clear, Chen Bai decided to ask Da Binzi and others to visit the area to see if anyone had seen anyone suspicious.
"Chen Bai, actually I don't understand very well. You said that the murderer did not break in, nor did he conflict with Zhang Zhenan. That means that the person who killed Zhang Zhenan was probably brought into the house by Zhang Zhenan himself. Then
What kind of hatred do these two have that would lead them to act so viciously?"
"Actually, I have a guess!"
Wu Di thought for a moment and lowered his voice.
"You said Zhang Zhenan, is he playing some kind of game with others?"
"It's not impossible. It does look like this from the binding of his hands and feet. However, many of the stab wounds on Zhang Zhenan's body were caused by extreme anger. If the murderer didn't hate Zhang Zhenan to the core, he wouldn't have done this.
Vicious. I think..."
Before Chen Bai finished speaking, Mu Bai suddenly opened the door and came in.
"Chen Bai, I brought him back to you, and he's in the interrogation room now."
"okay, I get it."
After Chen Bai finished speaking, he stood up and followed Mu Bai to the interrogation room.
"This is that woman's information, it's all here."
After Mu Bai put down the woman's information, he turned around and walked out.
"Ye Fangfang, female, 38 years old, used to be a teacher at a dance academy. Ye Fangfang, can I ask why you killed someone?"
In fact, Chen Bai had a doubt, because from the first time he saw this woman, he had a feeling that this woman did not look like someone who would kill, let alone someone who would use such cruel methods to kill.
"Don't tell me? Ye Fangfang, in fact, there is really no room for maneuver in your matter. Didn't many people prove to you that your husband often beats you? As long as you take advantage of this, you will not be sentenced to death.
"
But no matter what Chen Bai said, Ye Fangfang just didn't speak.
"Ye Fangfang, you have a daughter, right?"
Chen Bai took out a cigarette and lit it. At this moment, Chen Bai noticed that Ye Fangfang's eyelids moved. Although it was only a slight movement, Chen Bai still noticed it.
"Your daughter is sixteen years old this year and will soon be in her third year of high school. How is her study going?"
"not bad!"
This was the first time Ye Fangfang spoke. Chen Bai nodded and said with a smile.
"That's great. Your daughter must be very obedient, right? I didn't find the girl I liked until I was in my thirties. I guess I will have retired by the time my child is born and goes to college. I regret it a bit. If I could have met the girl I like earlier.
, maybe my child will be in high school now."
"It would be great if I could find it!"
Chen Bai nodded. Mu Bai outside the door was a little confused. Why did Chen Bai say this to Ye Fangfang?
"Mu Bai, you can only see that there are problems with Ye Fangfang's case, but you can't tell what the problems are. Chen Bai is doing this to get closer to Ye Fangfang and find out the truth behind the case."
Mu Bai nodded, Bai Hongwei took out a cigarette and handed it to Mu Bai. The two just stood at the door of the interrogation room and watched.
"Ye Fangfang, I know it's not easy for you to raise your daughter alone as a woman. In fact, you don't plan to remarry, right?"
When Chen Bai said this, Ye Fangfang stopped talking again, but Chen Bai noticed that when he mentioned remarriage, the expression on the woman's face was first regretful, and then resentful.
"Okay, it's very late today, let's talk another day!"
"police officer!"
Chen Bai stood up and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Ye Fangfang.
"Officer, when can my case go to trial?"
Chen Bai didn't say anything, but walked to Ye Fangfang and handed Ye Fangfang a photo in the case file.
"Don't be anxious. We must consider your case carefully now. Don't you want to see your daughter again?"
After Chen Bai finished speaking, he walked out of the interrogation room, and Mu Bai and Bai Hongwei immediately followed him.
"Chen Bai, how are you? Did you ask anything?"
"Mu Bai, this information is incomplete. I also need information about Ye Fangfang's husband."
Mu Bai was a little confused, but Bai Hongwei patted Mu Bai on the shoulder and asked Mu Bai to prepare.
"Chen Bai, do you think there is one murderer in these two cases?"
"It's hard to say. There are only photos of Ye Fangfang's scene. I don't dare to draw conclusions without seeing the real scene. However, the forensic autopsy report shows that the man Ye Fangfang killed drank a lot of alcohol before he died, so I suspect that Ye Fangfang killed him first.
My man got drunk and then killed someone."
Chen Bai put down the case file, took out a cigarette and lit it.
"But this is Mu Bai's conclusion, not yours, right?"
"Unfortunately, the scene has been cleaned up now, and we cannot inspect the scene again."
Because there has been no progress in the case so far, Chen Bai plans to return to the scene again to see if he can find any useful clues.
"Chen Bai, do you think this scene is weird?"
I don’t know why, but after Wu Di saw the scene, he always felt that something was not quite right about the scene.
"What do you think is wrong?"
After Chen Bai finished speaking, Wu Di walked around the room and said helplessly.
"I can't tell what's wrong, but I just feel like there's something wrong with this house."
Chen Bai looked at this rental house. It was a house with only one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom. People who usually lived in such a place lived alone. The living room was the bedroom. Chen Bai looked at the big bed in the bedroom.
There were also signs of tying up the victim at the four corners.
"There are no signs of damage to the doors or windows, which means that the deceased invited the murderer into the house. There are no fingerprints in the whole room except the landlord and the deceased. This means that the murderer cleaned up his fingerprints before leaving.
There are traces in the house. From this point of view, the murderer should be someone who doesn’t come here often or is someone who comes here for the first time.”
"I know, I know something is wrong."
Wu Di suddenly yelled, scaring Chen Bai so much that he almost threw his phone away.
"I know something is wrong. Chen Bai, don't you think that although the deceased only came here three days a week, there are too few daily necessities in this place?"
After Wu Di finished speaking, Chen Bai finally realized. Yes, there are too few daily necessities in this place. There is only one quilt in the room, there is only beer in the refrigerator in the kitchen, and there are even no garbage bags in the trash can in the kitchen. See here
It doesn't look like a rented house, more like a temporary hotel.
"The deceased came here to stay three days a week, but it didn't look like anyone had lived here at all. Not only were there no daily necessities, there was even an empty closet, not even a pair of pajamas."
But apart from these, Chen Bai didn't see anything else.
"Hello? Okay, I understand."
Chen Bai put down the phone and looked at Wu Di who was still surveying the scene and said.
"Song Anchun has completed the autopsy, let's go back first!"
After returning to the police station, Song Anchun distributed the autopsy report to everyone.
"After my autopsy, it was found that the deceased had been dead for more than twenty-four hours. The cause of death was the same as what you analyzed at the scene, suffocation caused by a knife stabbing into the lungs. But the difference is that when I examined the wounds on the deceased,
Unexpectedly, we discovered that so many wounds on the deceased's body did not come from the same knife, and the way those wounds exerted force was also different."
"You mean, it's very possible that the murderer is more than one person?"
Bai Hongwei was a little surprised, Song Anchun nodded and said.
"Yes, most of the wounds on the deceased's body should be from common fruit knives on the market, but a few wounds are relatively shallow and not fatal. This is what we said at the scene that the murderer was probably deliberately torturing the deceased. Also
One point, weren’t the deceased’s testicles removed? I found that the knife used to remove the deceased’s testicles was quite beautiful. The knife cut open the vagina without damaging the testicles, which proves that at least the knife was quite sharp.”
After Song Anchun finished speaking, Da Binzi also stood up and said.
"I interviewed people around the deceased's rental house. Most of them didn't know the deceased very well, and many of them had never even seen the deceased. However, a family located downstairs from the deceased gave us a
The key clue was that he once saw the deceased returning with a junior high school girl on a weekend night. He left with the girl the next morning. What impressed the man deeply was that it was obviously a Saturday.
Junior high school students are all on vacation. But this girl was wearing school uniform, and when he left the next day, he clearly saw traces of crying on the girl's face."
"I remember Zhang Zhenan has no children, right?"
Da Binzi nodded. Just as Chen Bage was about to say something, the phone in the office rang again.
"Hello? Okay, we'll be there soon."
Before Bai Hongwei hung up the phone and had time to speak, Chen Bai and others got up to pack their things, and Chen Bai even asked directly.
"where?"
“New Town Garden!”
When Chen Bai and others arrived, the police from the local police station had already raised the cordon and evacuated the crowd.
"What's going on at the scene?"
"Consultant Chen, you're here, I won't tell you anything, just go in and see for yourself!"
Seeing that the person in charge was about to vomit, Chen Bai had no choice but to go in and check first. The scene was similar to before, except this time the man was naked and tied to a chair. There were also many wounds on the man's body, but it was different from the previous one.
Two cases, this time one of the man's eyes was gouged out and put into a wine glass on the table.
"Like Zhang Zhenan's death scene, the man was stabbed to death. The cause of death was a knife in the heart, and the man's testicles were also cut off."
While Song Anchun was talking, Chen Bai noticed that the index finger of the deceased's right hand seemed to have been cut off. Chen Bai looked for it, but did not find the index finger of the deceased at the scene.
"Who reported the crime?"
"It was a takeaway boy. We found out that the deceased ordered a takeaway an hour ago, and it was clearly marked that if the door was open, it would be delivered directly. When the boy came, he found that the door was open and came in, but there was no
