"It's not very popular here. It's really scary to drive here in the middle of the night." I said to Wen Xin.
"Yes, so what was the reason for Lu Yushan to stop? According to Jiang Zi, the car was parked on the right side of the road. In other words, Lu Yushan did not brake suddenly in the middle of the road, but followed the normal procedure.
Pull over.”
I thought about it and came to two conclusions: "Either, there is something wrong with the car, and Lu Yushan noticed it, and planned to stop the car to check; or, there was someone on the roadside, and that person caught Lu Yushan's attention, and asked him
It is necessary to stop.”
After hearing what I said, Wen Xin continued: "It's so late and everything is dark. Even if there is a problem with the car, most people will drive it home and check it again. Unless it is a particularly serious problem, this will wait until the branch's criminal police team has completed the inspection."
We'll know after we get into the car. I'm more inclined to the second scenario, which is that the murderer stood on the roadside intentionally."
Wen Xin's meaning is obvious. At that time and in that environment, if a stranger was standing on the side of the road waving, most drivers would not stop the car unless he was an acquaintance!
I looked forward, and Crazy Brother and Jiang Zi were walking in front. Crazy Brother was talking to him while paying attention to both sides of the road, stopping from time to time to investigate. Pan Xingbang walked behind them, looking submissive, and Ou Lang
At the end with Bayuanhua, they also exchanged a few words from time to time.
I followed up on the question just now and thought, although Qingyang Town is not big, it has a permanent population of nearly 300 people, of whom Lu Yushan knows at least half. From the aspect of "acquaintances" alone, it is really not easy to investigate.
On the surface, it seems that Oulang and Bayuanhua can rule out suspicion, because Lu Yushan drove away from the factory, and they could not catch up even if they left immediately after he set off, and they could testify to each other when the crime occurred.
The other party is working overtime in the factory.
However, what if they are accomplices and both are lying?
It was Ou Lang who called Lu Yushan. If they had planned it beforehand, it would be logical. They could have made excuses and left together in Lu Yushan's car, and then committed the crime on the way.
Thinking of this, I exclaimed: "We can't let Oulang and Bayuanhua stay together!"
However, Wen Xin said after listening to my analysis: "It's not necessary. If they really did it, they must have discussed it long ago. It doesn't make much sense to isolate them now. Furthermore, even if Lu Yushan is called out,
It is part of the murderer's plan. Other workers in the factory can also tamper with the machine in advance, and then lie in ambush on the roadside, waiting for overtime workers to call Lu Yushan. In this case, all workers will be suspects."
What Wen Xin said is not unreasonable. If it were really them, the case would be simple. As long as they were interrogated repeatedly, someone would always reveal a flaw. They didn't look like they had a strong sense of anti-investigation.
Another example of highly intelligent criminals, the detection of traces in the car can also provide some clues.
After arriving at the police station, the director received us and further talked about the situation in Qingyang Town.
Most residents in Qingyang Town still have their own fields, because it is close to the city. When there is little farm work, the labor force will go to the city to find work, leaving mostly old people and children, and less than fifty young adults.
Crazy brother asked: "What are the main themes of the cases here?"
The director replied: "Most of the police cases are disputes. As for the cases, there are only a few thefts and fights every year."
Crazy brother asked again: "Is there any robbery?"
The director shook his head and said: "Since the establishment of Qingyang Town, there have been only two robbery cases and no robbery cases."
(Note: 1. The crime of robbery is manifested in the use of violence, coercion or other coercive methods on the spot to forcibly take public or private property, while the crime of robbery is manifested in taking advantage of others' unpreparedness to openly seize a larger amount of property, leaving others with no time to resist; 2. Robbery
The crime not only infringes on the property rights of others, but also infringes on the personal rights of others, while the crime of robbery only infringes on property rights.)
Crazy brother became interested: "Where are the case files? We want to take a look."
The director said that the paper file has been delivered to the branch, and the electronic file can be seen online, and he will take us there to check it out later.
I asked: "Does the deceased have any enemies?"
The director said: "I have been in contact with Lu Yushan. He is quite a nice person. I have never heard of him having any issues with anyone."
"Is he a local?"
The director nodded: "Yes."
After coming out of the office, Crazy Brother arranged for Wen Xin and I to get a transcript for each of Pan Xingbang and the other three, while he and Jiang Zi went to check the information on the two robberies.
Because we had doubts, when we asked Oulang and Bayuanhua, we asked the same questions in different ways. Their answers all confirmed each other, and there was nothing unreasonable. In terms of expressions, there was nothing abnormal.
Calm and not overly nervous.
After some interrogation, we completely eliminated their suspicions. Subsequently, the car inspection report sent back by the criminal police team of the branch showed that there was no trace of their entry in the car.
Through questioning Pan Xingbang, we learned that the processing plant was built five years ago. The initial scale was smaller than it is now. Apart from the two bosses and Pan Xingbang, there were only two workers. Later, the number of workers increased to six, and Boss Chu added another
There were exactly ten drivers, and there were exactly ten people. Although people came and went, the total number remained the same.
Among the ten people now, only Boss Chu and Pan Xingbang are outsiders. Boss Chu has a house in the city and a house in the town, and they live on both sides. Pan Xingbang's house is in the city and he drives to get off work every day.
The others are all from Qingyang Town, but some live in the town and some live in nearby villages.
Wen Xin specifically asked about the six workers who resigned last year. Only two were still in the town, and the other four had gone out to work.
When mentioning this matter, Pan Xingbang seemed to have remembered something: "You just asked me if Lu Yushan had any enemies. I remember that when his wages were reduced last year, several workers scolded him when he was doing workers' ideological work."
"Since those two people thought the wages in the processing factory were low, why didn't they look for work outside after they resigned?"
"Well...it's hard to say. They are two brothers. You should go to their home and see for yourself."
Pan Xingbang's hesitant look made me very curious. When I asked him again, he kept silent, which seemed to be a little scrupulous.
After the inquiry was over, Pan Xingbang left the police station with two workers. Before leaving, he left his phone number and asked us to notify him if necessary. The factory will fully cooperate with the police in investigating the murder of Lu Yushan.
After leaving the interrogation room, Wen Xin and I planned to go find the two brothers and ask about the situation at that time.
I didn't see Mad Brother, so I called him and learned that he and Jiang Zi were going to the home of one of the robbers after reading the case file.
What surprised me was that this man was one of the two brothers.
