Mountain Village Massacre, Train Murder Case Chapter 16 Xu Lang's Doubt
After Xu Lang listened to Wu Liang's account of the interrogation results, he didn't speak for a long time and just smoked a cigarette in a muffled voice.
After he finished smoking a cigarette, Xu Lang said, "What do you think of this case?"
"What do I think?" Wu Liang looked at Xu Lang with a puzzled face, not understanding what Xu Lang meant by this sentence.
Xu Lang looked at Wu Liang and asked, "Don't you understand?"
Wu Liang nodded subconsciously and looked at Xu Lang with some embarrassment. After all, he was the criminal policeman, and Xu Lang was just an ordinary citizen.
"Then let me ask a different question. Do you think this case can be closed?" Xu Lang said.
Wu Liang was about to say that the case could be closed of course, but after seeing Xu Lang's solemn expression, he thought for a while and asked: "Can't these cases be closed?"
Xu Lang looked at Wu Liang and shook his head, and asked: "You think the case can be closed, then please tell me the reasons for closing the case."
Wu Liang thought for a while and said: "The facts of the murder case are clear, the motive for the crime is clear, and the criminal suspect took the initiative to confess the crime facts. With these evidences, can't the case still be closed?"
Xu Lang shook his head again and watched as Wu Liang asked the first question, "You said the facts of the murder case are clear?"
"Yes." Wu Liang said subconsciously.
"Okay, let me ask you, have you found the poison that killed Wu Gai?"
Wu Liang thought for a while, and then he was stunned. His expression suddenly became a little unnatural. Then, he shook his head and said, "No."
"However, we found traces of poison in the glass Wu Gai drank from. Apart from Wu Gai's fingerprints, there was only Li Hongmei's fingerprints on the wine glass. Apart from that, there were no fingerprints of a third party. Doesn't this mean that
What?" Wu Liang defended.
"Even if there are only fingerprints of the deceased Wu Gai and Li Hongmei on the wine glass, does this mean that Li Hongmei put the poison in it?"
Hearing Xu Lang's question, Wu Liang looked at Xu Lang with some confusion. Only the fingerprints of the deceased Wu Gai and Li Hongmei were detected on the wine glass. Doesn't this mean anything?
"Then let me ask you, when and where did Li Hongmei put the poison into the wine glass? After she put the poison in, where did she hide the remaining poison? I think you are searching Wu Jiu's house
"You shouldn't have given up this suspicion when you came, right? So, have you found the remaining poison?" Xu Lang asked slowly.
Wu Liang was stunned for a moment by Xu Lang's question. When Xu Lang asked him, he remembered that when he interrogated Li Hongmei, Li Hongmei did not say when and where she put the poison, and the remaining
Where was the poison placed, and Wu Liang and the others did not find the remaining poison at the crime scene. This was a major oversight by Wu Liang. If it had not been for Xu Lang’s reminder, Wu Liang would have really thought that the case could have been closed.
, it’s just that there is such a small doubt, it’s nothing, anyway, Li
Hongmei has taken the initiative to explain that this detail issue no longer seems so important in the face of the truth.
Xu Lang seemed to see what Wu Liang was thinking, and he said slowly: "Do you think that since Li Hongmei has admitted her crime, these details are irrelevant, right?"
When Xu Lang said exactly what he was thinking, Wu Liang suddenly blushed. This was what he really thought in his heart.
Xu Lang shook his head, looked at Wu Liang and said: "Wu Liang, you are a criminal police officer, and you are handling criminal cases, and criminal cases are matters where human life is at stake. As long as there are still doubts in the case, the case cannot be closed hastily.
Otherwise, it would be irresponsible for both the victims and their families, as well as the murderer."
It's okay that Xu Lang didn't say anything. When Xu Lang said this, Wu Liang felt even more ashamed. This sentence was actually said from the mouth of a citizen instead of hearing it from his superior. Wu Liang
How could Liang not feel guilty and ashamed?
Xu Lang only said this and didn't say anything else. He knew that Wu Liang was a smart man and a person who corrected his mistakes when he knew they were wrong. Otherwise, Xu Lang would not be idle and would often help Wu Liang solve cases.
"Did you just say that the motive for committing the crime was clear?" Xu Lang asked.
Wu Liang nodded. This time he didn't say anything to refute. He just looked at Xu Lang quietly, waiting for Xu Lang's analysis.
"Judging from what you just said, Li Hongmei killed Wu Gai because Wu Gai raped his son Wu Jiu while he was drunk and asleep while Li Hongmei was unconscious on the night of New Year's Eve seven years ago.
Daughter-in-law Li Hongmei, Li Hongmei killed Wu Gai because she was unhappy with what her husband had done, right?" Xu Lang asked.
"Yes, that's what Li Hongmei said." Wu Liang said.
"Then did Li Hongmei say whether Wu Gai raped her again since that night seven years ago?" Xu Lang looked at Wu Liang and asked again.
Wu Liang recalled it carefully, shook his head and said, "Li Hongmei never mentioned this, but I guess not."
"Are you guessing? No? Can your guess be used as evidence in court? Where is the evidence?" Xu Lang asked speechlessly.
Wu Liang blushed again, quickly took out a cigarette and handed one to Xu Lang, then took out a lighter and lit it for Xu Lang, looking at Xu Lang with a smile.
When Xu Lang saw Wu Liang like this, he shook his head helplessly. He took a deep breath from the cigarette and blew out a smoke ring for a long time. Then he said slowly: "Based on what you said before, let's make a hypothesis. Hypothesis
It is true that Wu Gai raped Li Hongmei, and he raped her only once, so let me ask you, why did Wu Gai rape Li Hongmei?"
Wu Liang said without thinking: "Li Hongmei is young, beautiful, and good-looking, and Wu Gai has been single for many years and has never had a wife."
"What you said is all right and in line with common sense.
, But, one thing, have you ever thought that if Wu Gai raped Li Hongmei just because of Li Hongmei's appearance, then from that night seven years ago to Wu Gai's death, he only raped Li Hongmei
For once, does this make sense?"
Wu Liang thought for a while and said: "Li Hongmei has been by Wu Jiu's side all these years. She has no time to be alone with Wu Gai. After all, she is still Wu Jiu's wife."
"But, you just said it yourself. During her pregnancy, Li Hongmei was sent back to her hometown by Wu Jiu. It was not until Wu Shan was three years old that Li Hongmei continued to work with Wu Jiu. During these almost four years, Li Hongmei was not
Have you always been alone with Wu Gai? If Wu Gai really has evil intentions towards Li Hongmei, Wu Jiu is working in other places, and Li Hongmei is a foreigner with no relatives in the local area. What can he not do if he wants to do it? Could it be that he will see it?
Don’t you want to eat the fat around your mouth?” Xu Lang asked.
"Oh, yes." Wu Liang nodded subconsciously. Then, he thought of something, looked at Xu Lang and said, "Then according to what you said, Li Hongmei is lying?"
Xu Langqueued Yaoyao and said: "I don't know whether Li Hongmei lied, but I am certain that no matter what kind of criminal commits a crime, there will be a purpose. What was Wu Gai's purpose in raping Li Hongmei?
Is it really just to satisfy physiological needs?"
Before Xu Lang gave an answer, Wu Liang shook his head and said: "Probably not. Wu Gai has been single for many years. He is also a farmer who works in the fields. He is very busy in the fields during the day, so he has no time.
He thinks about things between men and women, and for him who has been single for many years, he should be used to it. Besides, he is almost sixty years old, so his needs in any aspect should not be that big, right?"
Xu Lang nodded and asked, "Has the paternity test of Wu Shan and Wu Jiu been confirmed?"
"It's not that fast. It usually takes three days. Now it's the Chinese New Year, and it will take at least four or five days to get the results," Wu Liang said.
"Until the results come out, Li Hongmei's confession is not yet credible, at least not entirely."
Hearing what Xu Lang said, Wu Liang nodded seriously.
Xu Lang turned his head and glanced at the wall clock on the wall. It was already eleven o'clock in the evening and the night was already deep. Xu Lang turned back and looked at Wu Liang and said: "This case is not that simple. Don't close it easily.
We need to clarify some of the doubts that arise in the case, such as why Liu Xiaocui threw her child to death. Is it really just because of the villagers' gossip and Zhou Yongli's distrust? I don't think it's that simple.
Even seemingly simple cases are often not that simple. You can only close the case after solving all the doubts."
"I understand, Brother Lang, thank you." Wu Liang said sincerely.
Xu Lang shook his head indifferently and said nothing more.
