Chapter 124 The time of death and the time of committing the crime
When Xu Lang first heard Sun Tianhong's story, he actually thought in his heart that Sun Tianhong was the real murderer of Liang Zheyan. After all, he told his motive, time and details of the crime very clearly.
, many places were consistent with the police investigation, but as the interrogation deepened, Xu Lang began to discover problems.
Forensic doctor Qin Mingyue gave the time of death of Liang Zheyan as around 4 a.m. on the 20th, while Sun Tianhong stated that he killed Liang Zheyan at around 6 a.m. on the 20th. There was a two-hour difference, although,
The forensic doctor has a certain error in judging the time of death of the deceased, but the error is not that big. After all, from the time Liang Zheyan died to the arrival of the police at the scene, there was no more than twelve hours. Generally, in this case, the forensic doctor gave
The time of death was accurate after all, basically consistent with the real time of death of the victim. But now that this situation occurred, Xu Lang had doubts in his heart.
Although Liang Zheyan's death scene was special, it was in a private room of Dynasty KTV, and the high-temperature air conditioner was on, which accelerated the decay of the body. During the first autopsy, Qin Mingyue gave the time of death as,
It was around 12 to 1 o'clock in the morning on the 20th. During the autopsy of Liang Zheyan's body, and considering the high temperature conditions at the scene, Qin Mingyue gave the time of death as around 4 o'clock in the morning on the 20th.
, revised twice, and repeatedly confirmed that Liang Zheyan was probably killed at around 4 a.m. on the 20th, this should be confirmed.
Is Sun Tianhong lying?
Xu Lang looked at Sun Tianhong for a long time. He shook his head secretly, thinking it was impossible. Sun Tianhong came to CSY to surrender before the police found him, although Xu Lang had not yet figured out why he came to surrender.
, However, when he was interrogating him, he gave a clear explanation of his criminal process, which was very consistent with many details of the crime scene. It did not seem like a lie. Moreover, since he had admitted to the murder,
He also killed more than just Liang Zheyan, so there was no need for him to lie about the time when he committed the murder of Liang Zheyan. It was not necessary and it made no sense. In addition, when Sun Tianhong described when he saw Liang Zheyan, Liang Zheyan
The situation is very strange, which is also one of the suspicious points.
Could it be that there was something wrong with Qin Mingyue's autopsy results?
Xu Lang had a question mark in his mind. It seemed that after interrogating Sun Tianhong, Xu Lang needed to find Qin Mingyue again and ask him to conduct a detailed autopsy on Liang Zheyan's body to determine the specific time of Liang Zheyan's death.
After thinking about this, Xu Lang stopped worrying about this issue and asked: "We have repeatedly checked the surveillance video of Dynasty KTV, and we did not see that you entered Dynasty KTV when Liang Zheyan's case occurred. You
How did you get into Dynasty KTV?”
"Dynasty KTV has a backdoor, which is the staff passage. There is no surveillance installed. When I entered Dynasty KTV, I entered from there." Sun Tianhong explained.
Xu Lang raised his eyebrows and asked, "How did you know that Dynasty KTV has that employee channel?"
"In the past, when our gym held company parties, we went to Dynasty KTV several times, and I met a staff member of Dynasty KTV, and he told me."
Xu Lang asked again the name of the staff member who had told Sun Tianhong about the employee access to Dynasty KTV and changed the subject. Ding Haoqiong recorded the name and would definitely verify it after the interrogation was over.
"Are you familiar with the Hyatt Hotel?" Xu Lang looked at Sun Tianhong and asked.
Sun Tianhong nodded and said: "I can't say that we are very familiar. I have been there many times."
"Then you also know a lot about the Hyatt Hotel's monitoring system?" Xu Lang asked again.
Sun Tianhong raised his head and glanced at Xu Lang. Knowing why Xu Lang asked, he nodded and said, "You want to ask why the Hyatt Hotel's surveillance was turned off when Zhu Yingyi and others were killed, right?"
Hearing what Sun Tianhong said, Xu Lang subconsciously squinted his eyes again. He took a deep look at Sun Tianhong and nodded.
"The security captain of the Hyatt Hotel grew up with me in an orphanage. We knew each other. When I decided to kill Zhu Yingyi and the others, I thought that the police might find me through the surveillance video, so I
When I entered the Hyatt Hotel for the first time, I contacted him in advance and asked him to help turn off the surveillance on the 8th floor of the Hyatt Hotel." Sun Tianhong explained.
"Then where did you enter the Hyatt Hotel? Was it also through the staff passage?" Xu Lang asked.
Sun Tianhong nodded and said: "Yes, I entered the hotel from the staff passage and followed the stairs to the 8th floor. I know there must be surveillance in the elevator, but not in the stairs."
After Xu Lang asked Sun Tianhong the name of the hotel security captain who grew up with him, he changed the subject and asked: "Why did you leave the crime tool in the body of the deceased?"
"I wanted to make it look like they were on a vendetta."
"Then why are there no fingerprints on the crime tools? Did you wear gloves when you committed the crime?"
Sun Tianhong nodded and said: "I prepared gloves before entering room 8888 and put them on when I committed the crime."
"Then why did you destroy their private parts after killing them?" Xu Lang asked.
"None of people like Zhu Yingyi and others are good people. Do you think they died unjustly? Do you think there are few people who want to kill them? They were killed by him.
Do you know how many women we have harmed?" Sun Tianhong said angrily.
Xu Lang frowned and looked at Sun Tianhong. Looking at his indignant statement, Xu Lang asked after a moment of silence: "You destroyed their private parts, shouldn't it be just to take revenge on them?"
Sun Tianhong was stunned. He took a deep look at Xu Lang, then nodded and said: "I did this, of course, to prevent you from suspecting me. After all, the general act of destroying a man's lower body is
It was all done by women. After you, the police, discover the body, you will definitely associate it with the woman related to them, but not with people like me."
Hearing what Sun Tianhong said, Xu Lang nodded.
Indeed, when they discovered the corpses of Zhu Yingyi and the others, and saw their horrific private parts, the first thing Xu Lang and the others thought of was the revenge carried out by the woman related to Zhu Yingyi and the others. In addition, the corpse of Liang Zheyan also appeared.
A similar situation was discovered, so Xu Lang and the others initially focused on women related to Liang Zheyan and Zhu Yingyi, and did not think of other places.
Now it seems that Sun Tianhong's approach did mislead the police in the investigation direction and brought great trouble to the police's handling of the case. If Sun Tianhong had not taken the initiative to explain, Xu Lang and others might have turned their suspicious eyes on Sun.
Regarding the cases of Tianhong and Liang Zheyan, one would never think that the deaths of Zhu Yingyi and others were related to Sun Tianhong.
Thinking of this, Xu Lang looked at Sun Tianhong with complicated eyes. It was hard for him to imagine that the bloody tragedy in room 8888 was actually committed by this first murder. No, it should be the second crime.
If all of this was a case as Sun Tianhong himself confessed, then whether it was Liang Zheyan's case or the case of killing Zhu Yingyi and others, Sun Tianhong had a very clear mind when he committed the crime. Moreover, there were
A certain degree of anti-reconnaissance awareness can be seen from the fact that he knew how to avoid the surveillance videos of Dynasty KTV and Hyatt Hotel. Especially, in Zhu Yingyi's case, he not only wore gloves to commit the crime, but did not leave any fingerprints or shoe prints at the scene.
, and also cleaned up and forged the scene, which made Xu Lang begin to wonder, was it really Sun Tianhong's first time committing a crime?
Xu Lang's suspicion is not unreasonable. When most criminals commit murder for the first time, they leave a large amount of evidence at the crime scene due to factors such as nervousness, excitement, confusion, etc. However, Sun Tianhong did not.
After completing the crime, there were very few and almost no evidences and clues left. This did not look like something that could be done by a first-time murderer. Instead, it looked like something that could be done by an experienced murderer who had committed crimes many times.
things that habitual offenders do.
"Did you take away Zhu Yingyi's cell phones?" Xu Lang asked.
Sun Tianhong nodded and said, "Yes, I took it away with those wine bottles."
"Why did you take the phone away?"
Sun Tianhong thought for a while and said: "I can't explain why. I just thought that doing this might make your police believe that this was a vendetta or love killing."
"Where is the phone now?"
"Thrown into the sewer along with the backpack."
"There was so much blood shed at the scene, how did you manage not to leave any footprints on the scene before leaving?" Xu Lang asked.
"Before I left, there wasn't that much blood on the ground at the scene. Moreover, when I entered the room, I was wearing shoe covers on my feet, so it was naturally impossible to leave shoe marks." Sun Tianhong explained.
"Why do He Nanchen and the others only have one knife on their bodies, while Zhu Yingyi has five?" Xu Lang asked again.
"Among them, except for Liang Zheyan, Zhu Yingyi has always been the eldest brother. In order to better create the illusion, of course I have to choose to do this."
After hearing this, Xu Lang was silent for a moment and then asked: "Since you have done so much preparation and disguise in order to avoid our pursuit, why did you come to surrender?"
Hearing Xu Lang's question, Sun Tianhong fell silent. He lowered his head and remained silent for a long time. Then he spoke slowly in a low voice.
"I have been an orphan since I was a child. I have no parents, no relatives, and no friends. I don't know why my parents didn't want me in the first place, and I don't know what I am living for. Before I met Liang Zheyan, I thought we would
Become good friends, and we can become good friends for life. However, I was wrong. After I killed Liang Zheyan, I thought that by killing him, I could get rid of that kind of life. However, I later discovered that, in fact,
, Without him, I don’t know what to do next, where can I go, even if I leave S City, can I really start my life again?”
"Do you know? After I killed them, I often had nightmares. In the nightmares, I could see the faces of Liang Zheyan and the others before they died. In particular, Liang Zheyan looked at me angrily and said:
I said that I would never be able to get rid of him in my life. I realized that even if I left City S, I would not be able to truly start a new life. Moreover, during this time, I often watched the news and saw the news.
I know that you are doing your best to detect these two cases, and I know that sooner or later you will find me."
After hearing Sun Tianhong's reasons for surrendering, Xu Lang looked at Sun Tianhong and said nothing for a long time, because he was not sure whether what Sun Tianhong said was true.
After Sun Tianhong said these words, he seemed to have removed a huge stone from his heart. He felt much more relaxed. He raised his head and said
He looked at Xu Lang calmly and said: "I know I killed someone and I am guilty. I don't want to make any excuses. I just want a quick death. I hope you can shoot me as soon as possible."
"Why?" Xu Lang looked at Sun Tianhong and asked.
Sun Tianhong was not looking at Xu Lang, but turned his head and looked at the one-way glass in the interrogation room. The glass mountain reflected Sun Tianhong's shadow. He looked at himself in the mirror and said slowly: "Liang Zheyan is actually a
He is a very timid and insecure person. He is my only friend, and I am the person he trusts most. Now that he is gone, I am worried that he will be alone in another world. I want to go there as soon as possible to accompany him.
he."
Having said this, Sun Tianhong turned to look at Xu Lang and said, "I have already confessed everything that needs to be explained. I just ask that you judge me as soon as possible and shoot me."
Listening to Sun Tianhong's words, Xu Lang showed no expression.
After a long while, Xu Langcai said slowly: "It is our police's duty to investigate the truth of the case and arrest the murderer. As for how to try you and how to sentence you, that is the judge's business, and we have no right to decide."
After saying this, Xu Lang stood up and walked out of the No. 2 interrogation room. Ding Haoqiong also left the No. 2 interrogation room after packing up the documents on the table, leaving Sun Tianhong alone.
Sitting in the interrogation room, he looked at his reflection in the one-way glass and did not regain consciousness for a long time.
————
After Xu Lang and the others left Interrogation Room No. 2 and came to CSY's office area, they saw everyone looking at Xu Lang.
Seeing Xu Lang and the others coming over, Du Ziqiao asked, "How is it? Is he a murderer?"
Xu Lang frowned, not happy about Sun Tianhong's surrender. After hearing Du Ziqiao's question, Xu Lang nodded and shook his head.
When everyone saw Xu Lang's reaction, they all became confused. What did they mean by nodding and shaking their heads? Is Sun Tianhong the murderer or not?
For most people, they hope that Sun Tianhong is the murderer of Liang Zheyan and the others. If Sun Tianhong is really the murderer, it will bring a lot of convenience to their investigation work, and they will no longer be like headless flies.
, running around, of course, everyone present knows that the case cannot be solved because the murderer surrenders and actively explains the crime process. They can sit back and relax. They will still know how to investigate. After all, evidence is important.
A light confession has always been the first priority in handling cases.
Seeing everyone looking at him in confusion, Xu Lang thought for a while and said: "Although Sun Tianhong took the initiative to explain the facts of his crime, we still have no direct evidence to prove whether what he said is true. There are many more.
We need to verify the details."
Hearing what Xu Lang said, everyone nodded, knowing that Xu Lang was right.
Next, Xu Lang arranged tasks for everyone.
First of all, if you want to determine whether Sun Tianhong is the real murderer, you must find the evidence that he confessed that has not been found by the police before. For example, he said that he used the syringe to kill Liang Zheyan, and another example is that he killed Zhu Yingyi, etc.
After the incident, the wine bottles with his fingerprints on them, backpacks, and Zhu Yingyi's mobile phones were taken away from the hotel.
The second step is to find the security captain of the Hyatt Hotel and find out from him whether Sun Tianhong lied.
Then, we investigated the surveillance video near the employee passage of Dynasty KTV to find out whether Sun Tianhong had been to the scene on the night Liang Zheyan was killed.
Finally, they searched Sun Tianhong's house to see if he and Liang Zheyan had that special relationship.
Only by clarifying and finding these things can we determine whether Sun Tianhong is the murderer.
After Xu Lang arranged the tasks, everyone began to take action.
Judging from Sun Tianhong's confession, there should be no doubt that he committed the murder at the Hyatt Hotel. After all, the details and process of the crime confessed by Sun Tianhong were not very different from the police investigation. However, Liang Zheyan
It is still unclear whether Sun Tianhong killed him or not.
Thinking of Liang Zheyan's case, Xu Lang thought of the time of Liang Zheyan's death, so Xu Lang went to the forensic autopsy room and found Qin Mingyue.
Seeing Xu Lang finding her with a solemn expression, Qin Mingyue asked doubtfully: "What's wrong?"
"When did Liang Zheyan die?" Xu Lang looked at Qin Mingyue and asked.
Hearing Xu Lang's question, Qin Mingyue looked at Xu Lang in confusion and said, "Didn't Liang Zheyan's autopsy report be given to you? It clearly states that it was around four o'clock in the morning on the 20th.
.”
"Liang Zheyan's death scene is so complicated, can you determine the exact time of Liang Zheyan's death?" Xu Lang continued to ask.
Qin Mingyue became more and more confused. He looked at Xu Lang. After looking for a long time, he nodded heavily and said: "I have considered the situation at the crime scene comprehensively, and then gave the time of death. What's wrong?
?”
Speaking of this, Qin Mingyue thought that the members of CSY seemed to be discussing that the murderer of Liang Zheyan and the others had come to CSY to surrender. Thinking of this, Qin Mingyue immediately realized that there must be a problem in some link, and now
Xu Lang was asking himself about the time of Liang Zheyan's death. The problem must be this, so he asked: "Is the time of Liang Zheyan's death not right?"
