On the way back, Bai Hongwei asked with some doubts.
"Chen Bai, what do you think is going on?"
"It's hard to say yet, but didn't Ma Yue say that Feng Tangguo went to Hongshan Welfare Institute? Let's go to Hongshan Welfare Institute now. You navigate and I'll drive."
Bai Hongwei took out his mobile phone and entered the address of Hongshan Welfare Institute on the map.
"Wait a minute, thirty-five kilometers? So far?"
"Let me see!"
Chen Bai parked the car on the side of the road and looked at the map.
"We have to go far away! Let's go have a meal first. It's already noon and we haven't eaten yet! Let's go take a look after dinner. If Feng Tangguo didn't go or went back long ago, then this matter would be interesting."
The two of them found a random place and ordered two bowls of noodles. While waiting for the meal, Bai Hongwei read Ma Yue's words that he had just recorded.
"Chen Bai, do you think it's possible that both Feng Tangguo and Song Li were killed by Ma Yue?"
"It's hard to say, but it's very possible. Ask Da Binzi to investigate the social relationship between Song Li and Feng Tangguo, focusing on whether Song Li has any record of buying tickets. Ma Yue said that Song Li asked her for leave and wanted to go home, no matter what
Is it necessary to have a ticket purchase record for buses or trains?”
Da Binzi acted very quickly, and as soon as the two of them finished eating, Da Binzi called.
"I checked and found that Song Li has no record of purchasing tickets at all. Moreover, Song Li basically sent most of the money home. There is no consumption record at all except for consumption at the vegetable market."
Chen Bai thought for a while, lit a cigarette and asked.
"Feng Tangguo, have you checked?"
"I checked it, but I didn't know that I would be shocked if I checked it. There are two properties under Feng Tangguo's name, one is the one they live in now, and the other one is also in Longgang Villa District, but guess what?
Guess who’s name is on Feng Tangguo’s other property certificate besides his own name?”
Chen Bai was a little helpless, and Bai Hongwei roared angrily.
"Say it!"
"On another property owned by Feng Tangguo, in addition to his own name, there is also the name of his daughter-in-law Su Meng."
The two of them were stunned when they heard this. If the father-in-law felt sorry for his daughter-in-law and wanted to give him a house, then the property certificate should have the name of the daughter-in-law or the names of his son and daughter-in-law, but like this.
....
"In that case, you go check out Feng Tangguo's house first. The captain and I will go to the Hongshan Welfare Institute. If we hurry, we will be back tonight."
Chen Bai hung up the phone, and the two of them got in the car and headed to Hongshan Welfare Institution.
"Chen Bai, I still don't understand why Feng Tangguo's second house has his daughter-in-law's name written on it?"
Chen Bai didn't say anything. On the surface, there seemed to be nothing wrong with the family, but they always felt weird for some reason.
After about an hour's drive, the two finally arrived at the Hongshan Welfare Institute in Heping District next to Binhai City. Bai Hongwei greeted them in advance, so someone came out to greet them as soon as they arrived.
"Two police officers, I am the director of Hongshan Welfare Home. My surname is Wang. Do you know why you two came to our place?"
"It's nothing serious. We just want to ask you about Feng Tangguo."
When the man heard Bai Hongwei say Feng Tangguo, he was stunned for a moment, and then said immediately.
"It's easy to talk. You two police officers, please go to the office with me first! This is not the place to talk!"
Chen Bai nodded, and Dean Wang led the two of them inside. The orphanage was probably rebuilt from a school, and the overall appearance of the school was retained. When Chen Bai entered, he saw several teachers leading a few
Five or six-year-old children were playing eagle and catching chickens at the door.
"Do you have children of all ages in this orphanage?"
"Yes, there are children from three or four to sixteen, seventeen or even eighteen years old. We have adopted many orphans, and some children were sent to us because their parents died and relatives were unwilling to adopt them. Although there are some
Many families who cannot have children come to us to adopt, but not every child will be taken away. Many children come here from a very young age and no one adopts them until they are fifteen or sixteen years old. And for such an old child
There is no one to adopt anymore, so many children have gone to college and are still living in the orphanage. Many of our teachers here are children who were not taken away from the orphanage before. When they grow up, they stay and work in order to repay the orphanage.
.”
Dean Wang said and led the two of them to the office. After the three of them sat down, Dean Wang asked.
"Two police officers, what happened to Dean Feng? Why did you ask about him?"
"Have you, Dean Feng, been here recently?"
Chen Bai did not answer. Dean Wang shook his head when he saw Chen Bai asking.
"No, Dean Feng has not been here for more than half a year. His daughter-in-law is pregnant, and their family is now looking forward to the birth of the child. Dean Feng also told me that when he sees the third generation, he will bring her over.
Show us."
Chen Bai and Bai Hongwei looked at each other. Dean Wang didn't know what happened, so he definitely wouldn't lie. Was Feng Tangguo lying? Or was Ma Yue lying?
"When did you, Dean Feng, become the honorary dean?"
Dean Wang thought for a moment and pointed to a large group photo on the wall.
"That was ten years ago. Dean Feng's health has been poor, and his home is far away from here. At such an old age, he only goes home for a few days every month. We are really worried about Dean Feng.
Because of our health, we persuaded Director Feng to rest. The two police officers also knew that ours was just a private welfare home and there were not so many things to do. At that time, Director Feng was also a little overwhelmed, so he agreed to let us go back and rest.
I used to be the deputy dean, and then I replaced Dean Feng, and then made Dean Feng our honorary dean. In this way, Dean Feng can still come here to see the children, but it won't be so hard."
Bai Hongwei nodded. At this time, Chen Bai was attracted by the big photo that Dean Wang looked at just now.
"When did you take this photo?"
"After that incident, it happened to be the 20th anniversary of the founding of our orphanage, so all the children and teachers came to take a group photo."
Chen Bai nodded. In the photo, Feng Tangguo was sitting in the middle, holding a three or four-year-old boy in his arms. There were children beside and behind him, and the teachers stood at the end.
"Dean Feng really likes children!"
"Well, I've also discovered this. Director Feng's favorite thing is to play with the children. During the Chinese New Year and holidays, Director Feng even cooks for the children himself. An orphanage like ours doesn't look big.
, but there are also more than 200 children! But every time he cooks for the children, he enjoys it. Dean Feng often says that they have lost their family members. No matter how much we care for the children, we cannot replace their parents, so we must let these
When the kids are here, it feels like home.”
On the way back, Chen Bai remained silent. This case was too strange, and even now they are not sure whether Feng Tangguo is really dead.
"Chen Bai, you said that if the corpse we found is really Feng Tangguo, then why was he killed? If it is really according to what the dean said, this Feng Tangguo was a good man, how could such a person do this?
How could he die so miserably?"
Chen Bai smiled after hearing Bai Hongwei's words and said helplessly.
"Bai Hongwei, why are you so naive? You have been a policeman for so many years. Do you judge a person by what the people around him say? I have seen some migrant workers kill their bosses because they refused to pay them.
, those wages are their hope. Do you think the murderer is a good person or a bad person? I have also seen a devil who wiped out a family just because his relatives were unwilling to lend him money, and this person is usually seen by everyone
He is a good husband and a good father, so we must not judge whether this person is a good person just based on what people around him say."
Bai Hongwei nodded, but what he didn't expect was that this case made him see the ugliest side of human nature. It was also the most disgusting case and the most disgusting person he had encountered in his more than ten years as a police officer.
"Da Binzi, how is the investigation of Feng Tangguo's other house going?"
As soon as he returned to the office, Chen Bai asked about Feng Tangguo's house.
"Well... we don't have a search warrant yet, and we can't just go in like that, so it's likely to have to wait for a while."
Chen Bai nodded, knowing that there was no need to rush into this matter. Not even the police could break into private houses.
"Have Ma Yue and the others gone back?"
"Not yet. I heard that Su Meng gave birth to a son. However, Su Meng was born prematurely for more than a month and cannot be discharged from the hospital so soon."
Chen Bai nodded. In fact, the most important thing now is to go to Ma Yue's house. Not to mention Feng Tangguo, according to their investigation, Song Li is helpless in this city. She doesn't know anyone except Ma Yue's family, so she is
The possibility of being killed by outsiders is very low. Go to Ma Yue's house as soon as possible to see if there may be any clues.
Three days later, Ma Yue's family was discharged from the hospital, and Chen Bai also took people to visit Ma Yue immediately.
"Sorry, we want to see Song Li's room!"
Ma Yue wanted to refuse, but she reluctantly let go after seeing the search warrant in Bai Hongwei's hand. Su Meng was holding her child and playing in the living room. When the police came in, she just nodded and said nothing.
"Song Li lives in the basement, go and see it!"
Ma Yue pointed to the basement. Chen Bai led people into the basement. After opening the door, he found that it was a very simple room with a bed, a wardrobe and a simple small table.
“There doesn’t seem to be much to see!”
Bai Hongwei looked around and found that this place was just a small room converted from a basement, with nothing to see.
"Really? But I think this place is a bit interesting! Forensic Doctor Song, what do you think?"
Song Anchun said nothing, looked at the room and said.
"It's very cold in here and there's no ventilation at all."
Bai Hongwei was a little puzzled. Isn't this the case in all basements? Besides, there are no windows here, so there must be no ventilation!
"Get to work!"
After Chen Bai finished speaking, he tore off the wallpaper on the wall. Only then did Bai Hongwei see that after Chen Bai tore off the wallpaper, the originally white wall turned dark red.
"Blood stains?"
Bai Hongwei was a little surprised, and Song Anchun quickly took out his tools and began to carefully inspect the entire room.
"Ms. Ma Yue, I would like to ask what is going on?"
Seeing the blood stains in the room, Ma Yue also looked very panicked and said nervously.
"I don't know about this. I don't usually come here. I don't know what's going on."
"Ms. Ma Yue, because we found a large amount of blood in your home, we now have to search your home. We also need to take away your husband Feng Tangguo's biological test materials. We hope you can cooperate."
After Bai Hongwei finished speaking, Da Binzi and others immediately began to search the entire house. Ma Yue screamed when she saw so many people.
"No, no, so many of you will mess up my house. I don't know what's going on here. You have no right to search my house."
Ma Yue said and wanted to push Bai Hongwei and others out, but at this time a young man held Ma Yue back.
"Mom, please take Su Meng up there to rest first! Su Meng has just given birth and is weak, so just leave it to me here."
Ma Yue wanted to say something else, but the young man gave his wife a look, and Su Meng immediately held the child and put it in Ma Yue's arms, pulling Ma Yue up the stairs.
"Hello, my name is Xie Li. If you need anything, just tell me. My father is missing and my mother is not in a good mental state."
Chen Bai nodded and spoke.
"I think you have heard the rumors in your community. We found several packages of body parts in the trash cans in your community before, and your father disappeared at this time, so we need to bring your father's biological examination.
Please go back and do a test, and we will notify you if there are results. Also, do you know when Song Li left your house?"
The man shook his head and said helplessly.
"I have been on a business trip this month. A month ago, Song Li was still at home. Later, I heard from my mother that Song Li wanted to go home for a visit, but I don't know exactly when she left."
"How is Song Li usually?"
After Bai Hongwei finished speaking, Xie Li smiled and said.
"He is a good boy, hard-working and quick at work. Sometimes he has to give back to my mother the change he gets from grocery shopping, and the cooking is delicious. My wife has been unable to eat anything since she became pregnant.
Song Li tried to find ways to make unnecessary tricks. When my wife was at her most serious pregnancy, Song Li used a wall breaking machine to make fruit and vegetable purees for her to help her get through the most uncomfortable time. In short,
He’s a good kid.”
"Does Song Li have any friends besides working?"
Xie Li shook his head, took out a cigarette and lit it.
"This shouldn't happen. Song Li doesn't really talk to strangers. She always likes to go to my father's study to read when she has nothing to do. When my father saw that Song Li liked reading, he gave Song Li the key to the study.
He said that he can come over if he wants to read when he's not around."
By this time, Da Binzi and the others had almost completed the search.
"By the way, can I go to your father's room and have a look?"
"Okay, I'll take you there!"
Xie Li said as Bai Hongwei and the others walked upstairs. The study was not big but it had three bookcases with all kinds of books. Many of the books were very old and had probably been read many times.
"Actually, I just had a question, why do you and your parents have different last names? Of course, if you have something to hide, you don't have to say it!"
Xie Li smiled when he heard this and said it indifferently.
"There's nothing I can't say. I'm actually not my parents' biological son. I was adopted by my father from an orphanage. I was already twelve years old when my father adopted me. My biological parents disappeared, so my father didn't
Change my name so that if there is any news about my biological parents in the future, I can go find them."
Chen Bai didn't speak when he came out of Ma Yue's house. When he got in the car, Bai Hongwei couldn't wait to talk.
"Chen Bai, I have made a discovery."
"explain!"
This was the first time I had seen Bai Hongwei look impatient. Bai Hongwei took out his notebook and looked at the records on it.
"When you asked Xie Li if he knew when Song Li left, Xie Li was a little nervous. We can investigate whether Xie Li's business trip was true, and when he mentioned that he was adopted, Xie Li's
His expression was a little sad. If Xie Li really had a good relationship with his parents, he wouldn't have shown such an expression after so many years."
Chen Bai nodded and said with a smile.
"Okay! It seems like you are secretly making up lessons?"
"Of course, I have been reading the criminal psychology book you put on the table these days. After all, we are going to work together in the future. What if I can't understand what you say?"
Chen Bai nodded, and He Yong, who was sitting behind, also spoke at this time.
"Teacher Chen, Feng Qianqian and I went to see Feng Tangguo's room. We found that Ma Yue and Feng Tangguo had been sleeping in separate rooms. There were no things belonging to Feng Tangguo in the master bedroom. There was only one set of pillows and quilts.
Tang Guo always sleeps in the guest room."
Chen Bai frowned when he heard this. If this was the case, then the relationship between Ma Yue and Feng Tangguo might have cracked, and Ma Yue's anxious appearance to call the police would be a bit suspicious.
"Okay, let's talk about what else we find out when we get back!"
After returning to the police station, Song Anchun immediately began to test all the inspection materials, while Bai Hongwei led everyone to a meeting.
"The case started when we received a report that the property owner in Longgang Villa District accidentally found body parts in the trash can when cleaning the trash can in the community. Later, we found a bag of fresh corpses in the garbage disposal plant not far away.
After examination by Song's forensic doctor, the DNA extracted from the internal organs was consistent with the DNA from the corpse. However, we have never found the remaining head and body parts. The murderer used a chainsaw when cutting off the limbs.
This can be proved by the burnt bones of the limbs, but the method of removing the deceased's internal organs was quite professional, so it is very likely that the murderer and the person who dismembered the body were two people. Later, we found Ma Yue's house next to the national highway.
Song Li, the nanny of Song Li, but it is worth noting that the person who cut up Song Li used a boning knife. The dismemberment was just a chop, and even left traces of the blade curling on the body. This shows that
, at least the murderer with superb knife skills was not involved in Song Li’s death.”
After Bai Hongwei finished speaking, he looked at Chen Bai who was standing aside. Chen Bai nodded, stood up and said.
