Liu Mingxuan found it, but it was not a living person, but a corpse.
Just now, after Xu Lang visited Shen Fang in the hospital, when he went downstairs, he received a call from Hong Bin. On the phone, Hong Bin told Xu Lang that Liu Mingxuan, who had been missing for nearly a week, was dead.
Ding Haoqiong drove Xu Lang to the Criminal Investigation Detachment in the south of the city and left. He also wanted to investigate Cao Sizhe's case. It has been almost ten days since today. There are a lot of rumors about Cao Sizhe's case. If we don't seize the time to solve the case, it is estimated that
Public opinion will become bigger and bigger.
Of course, outside public opinion does not have much impact on the detection of the case, but it is very disruptive, especially in this network information age.
Prodigy, genius, double doctorate, top student, returnee... These key words will stir up the hearts of every netizen. Many people are paying attention to this matter. Although public opinion has not paid much attention to the detection of the case.
What impact does it have? You can ignore it when investigating a case, but you cannot ignore it directly. This is a very contradictory fact that makes people both headache and helpless.
Xu Lang saw Hong Bin in his office.
After not seeing each other for just a few days, Hong Bin felt very haggard. After seeing Xu Lang, he didn't say anything polite and directly talked about the case.
"Liu Mingxuan found it."
"Then what?"
"he died."
"How did you die?"
"suicide."
"Um?"
Hearing what Hong Bin said, Xu Lang raised his brows subconsciously and looked at Hong Bin.
Hong Bin looked at Xu Lang, shrugged helplessly, and said, "Although I don't want to admit it, he did commit suicide."
"Did the forensic doctor give a conclusion?" Xu Lang asked.
Hong Bin nodded and said: "The body is being dissected. The preliminary autopsy results show that Liu Mingxuan committed suicide."
"Tell me the details."
Wang Hongzhen's body was discovered by scavenger Fan Li in the early morning of the 15th. Five sets of shoe prints were found at the scene, including those of the deceased Wang Hongzhen and Liu Mingxuan. The last set belonged to Fan Li, and the remaining two
After collecting shoe prints, their identities have not yet been determined. We only know that they are a man and a woman, aged in their thirties.
Wang Hongzhen was attacked from behind and hit in the head with a rock, causing his skull to be dented and causing massive intracranial hemorrhage. He was killed with one blow. The murderer was extremely cruel.
At the beginning, the suspect was identified as Liu Mingxuan, so Hong Bin ordered the city to search for Liu Mingxuan. Unfortunately, no results were obtained after several days.
In addition, many people believed that Wang Hongzhen was murdered for financial reasons. Although this guess had many doubts, it was the most likely one at the time.
The reporter, Fan Li, was inadvertently captured during the police patrol. He admitted that he was the first person to discover the body, and that he also took away the deceased’s finances. Fan Li’s confession and explanation,
Overturning the previous inference that the murderer was motivated by money, Liu Mingxuan's suspicion became more obvious.
In the past few days, the police have conducted large-scale investigations at airports, train stations, passenger terminals, high-speed rails, docks and other places, but they have not found Liu Mingxuan. And in various hotels, guesthouses and entertainment venues, no trace of Liu Mingxuan has been found.
In order to find Liu Mingxuan, Hong Bin used many informants to participate in the search.
This morning, the Nanzhuang County Police Station called, saying that a body was found in a house in Nanzhuang County. The deceased was a man in his sixties, who hanged himself. A suicide note was found at the scene.
Because of the suicide note, the Nanzhuang County Police Station knew that the deceased might be related to the murder case being investigated by the Chengnan District Criminal Investigation Detachment. After receiving the call, Hong Bin immediately led people to Nanzhuang Village, surveyed the scene, and saw the deceased's body.
The corpse was found to be Liu Mingxuan.
According to the preliminary autopsy judgment of the forensic doctor, the deceased had been dead for more than three days, that is, he died about three days after he disappeared. Because it was summer, the body was already decomposed, and the condition of the scene was very bad.
It was a private house that had not been inhabited for a long time, and many places were damaged. Liu Mingxuan hanged himself in the bedroom. The tool used to commit suicide was a nylon rope, which was stained with blood.
There were no traces of a struggle at the scene, because the room had not been occupied for a long time and no one had cleaned it, so it was covered with dust. Several groups of shoe prints were found at the scene, one of which belonged to the deceased Liu Mingxuan, another to the person who reported the crime, and the others to them first.
The police comrades who rushed to the scene left no blood on the scene, only a suicide note.
In the suicide note, Liu Mingxuan admitted that on the night of the 14th, he deceived Wang Hongzhen out of his house on the pretext of taking a walk, went to the beach, attacked Wang Hongzhen from behind with a stone, and thus killed Wang Hongzhen. Liu Mingxuan's motive for the crime was that he suspected
Wang Hongzhen had an affair with his wife Xi Junli, and the eldest son was not his biological son.
This happened when Liu Mingxuan and Wang Hongzhen discovered Cao Sizhe's case that night. During dinner, Wang Hongzhen drank too much and accidentally let it slip.
After Liu Mingxuan learned about this incident, he became murderous. When Liu Mingxuan was young, he had a very hot temper. In recent years, because of his age, his temper has tempered. After knowing that Wang Hongzhen had cuckolded him, he decided to kill him.
Wang Hongzhen died, so he invited Wang Hongzhen to the seaside and killed Wang Hongzhen.
Originally, Liu Mingxuan was planning to surrender to the Public Security Bureau after killing Wang Hongzhen. However, thinking that the family scandal should not be publicized, he chose to abscond.
Before, Liu Mingxuan had the experience of being a soldier and knew that it was impossible to escape from the train station and other places, so he thought of hiding in the countryside, so he returned to his hometown in Nanzhuang Village and hid here. In the end, his conscience
After discovering it, I felt that murder was worth a life, and one life was worth another, so I finally chose to commit suicide to end the matter.
Judging from the results of the on-site investigation and the death of the body, Wang Hongzhen’s case has been solved, but
Yes, Hong Bin and the others couldn't be happy. There were still several doubts that had not been solved.
First, is Liu Mingxuan’s eldest son the child of Wang Hongzhen and Xi Junli, or is there an improper male-female relationship between Wang Hongzhen and Xi Junli?
Second, Liu Mingxuan admitted that he killed Wang Hongzhen, so what happened to the shoe prints of a man and a woman that appeared at the scene? Who are they?
Third, how did Liu Mingxuan leave the city and come to Nankou Village after killing people?
Fourth, Liu Mingxuan is a veteran and has killed people on the battlefield. Isn’t it too childish for him to kill people just because of this incident and even seek suicide? Xi Junli married Liu Mingxuan more than 40 years ago
, and their eldest son was also born more than thirty years ago. Several decades have passed. Liu Mingxuan only knows now and decided to kill him. Isn't it too ridiculous?
The first suspicion point is that after Hong Bin and the others discovered Liu Mingxuan’s body, they notified his family immediately and confirmed that the deceased was Liu Mingxuan. The forensic doctor also collected his eldest son’s fingerprints, shoe prints, and DNA samples for comparison and analysis.
, the analysis results have not been released yet, but they should be coming soon.
Xu Lang frowned after hearing Hong Bin's report.
Judging from the photos taken at the scene, Liu Mingxuan did commit suicide, and the forensic doctor confirmed this. However, when Xu Lang looked at the photos at the scene, he clearly found that the crime scene did not look like someone had lived there.
.
The room was dusty. Except for a few shoe prints and a trace of someone sitting on the bench, the rest of the room was dirty. It didn't look like someone had lived here for three or four days. And if Liu Mingxuan
Instead of hiding here for three or four days, where did he live in the past few days after he disappeared and before committing suicide?
In addition, Xu Lang saw Liu Mingxuan's suicide tool, which was a bloody nylon rope. The blood on the rope had dried and turned dark brown. There seemed to be some minced meat in it, which made Xu Lang feel strange.
At the same time, I also thought of the Cao Sizhe case.
Cao Sizhe died of suffocation due to a broken tibia, and the crime tool was a nylon rope. This was confirmed by forensic doctor Qin Mingyue who found fibers of the nylon rope in the wound during the autopsy.
Cao Sizhe's body was divided into six parts, so there must be blood on the murder weapon. According to the situation at the scene of Liu Mingxuan's suicide, the blood on the nylon rope was there before Liu Mingxuan committed suicide. In addition, there was no blood on Liu Mingxuan's body.
Trauma was found. There were no other wounds on his neck except the strangulation marks left when hanging. The blood stains were definitely not left by Liu Mingxuan. So, where did the blood stains on the nylon rope come from?
The most important thing is the suicide note.
The handwriting on the suicide note was written by Liu Mingxuan, and the handwriting was not very good-looking. Hong Bin said that according to his family's identification, the handwriting was indeed Liu Mingxuan's. However, Xu Lang discovered that the content of the suicide note was very long and the handwriting was not sloppy.
It shows that Liu Mingxuan was in a very peaceful environment when he wrote this suicide note. But would a person who had killed someone and had a troubled conscience feel so calm before committing suicide?
Obviously not. More importantly, the content of the suicide note is very long. Liu Mingxuan not only wrote down the story of his murder, but also wrote down the motive for the murder, including the reason for his suicide. This seems to be a suicide note, but more like a suicide note.
The purpose of sealing the confession was to prove that he was the one who killed Wang Hongzhen.
Since Liu Mingxuan killed someone because his wife had an affair with a friend, which is a family scandal and a personal grudge, since he chose to commit suicide, he can just write down the story of the murder. There is no need to write down the motive for the murder.
After the incident was exposed, what was the point of killing him?
After reading the photo in his hand, Xu Lang raised his head, looked at Hong Bin and asked, "What do you think about this matter?"
Hong Bin thought for a while and said: "I personally think that Liu Mingxuan's suicide was probably to cover up the real murderer."
Xu Lang nodded, he thought so too.
Indeed, Liu Mingxuan's suicide note fully illustrates this point. He wants to use his own death to cover up the murderer. Then, the murderer must be someone he knows or is familiar with, and is very important to him. Then
Who is this person?
"Who do you think the murderer Liu Mingxuan is trying to cover is?" Xu Lang asked again.
"Liu Mingxuan's eldest son Liu Ruilong." Hong Bin said without thinking.
Xu Lang did not give an opinion on this, which requires evidence.
"Dong dong dong..."
At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Xu Lang and Hong Bin looked at the door at the same time, and then saw a police officer from the Criminal Investigation Detachment walking over with a document.
"The DNA test results are out," the police officer said.
"What result?"
"Liu Ruilong and Liu Mingxuan have a father-son relationship."
Hearing this, Xu Lang took the paternity test from Hong Bin and looked at it. The report clearly stated in black and white that Liu Ruilong and Liu Mingxuan were indeed father and son.
"Is the murderer of Wang Hongzhen really Liu Ruilong?" Hong Bin looked at Xu Lang and asked.
Xu Lang did not speak, but the police officer said: "The murderer should not be Liu Ruilong. We collected Liu Ruilong's footprints and compared them with those found at the scene. The man at the scene is not Liu Ruilong."
"In addition, during our previous investigation and visit, we determined that Liu Ruilong had a complete alibi that night."
"Um?"
"Liu Mingxuan and the others live in Chengnan District, while Liu Ruilong works in Chengbei District. When Liu Mingxuan and Wang Hongzhen disappeared, he was at a KTV in the north of the city, partying with people from the company. That night, he received a call from Xi Junli and rushed back to Chengnan District
It was already past one o'clock in the morning, almost two o'clock, and Wang Hongzhen's death time was around twelve o'clock in the morning. Is the time correct?
Come on." The police officer explained.
"Huh? How could this happen?" Hong Bin asked with a frown.
The police officer shook his head and said he didn't know.
Xu Lang began to think deeply.
If Liu Mingxuan committed suicide to cover up the real murderer, then this person was probably Liu Ruilong, or someone very close to Liu Mingxuan. However, Liu Ruilong had no time to commit the crime and had an alibi. Obviously, he was present at the time
The man at the scene of the crime was not Liu Ruilong. If he was not Liu Ruilong, then who was this man?
"Has the DNA of Wang Hongzhen's son Wang Jingyao been collected?" Xu Lang asked.
"We collected it. We collected it when Wang Hongzhen's body was found."
"Are they related as father and son?" Xu Lang asked again.
"Yes."
Hearing this, Xu Lang was also stunned.
Liu Ruilong is Liu Mingxuan's biological son, and Wang Jingyao is Wang Hongzhen's biological son. This is also confirmed. In this way, the two most suspected people have been eliminated. So, who killed Wang Hongzhen? Liu Mingxuan was covering up again.
who?
For a moment, both Xu Lang and Hong Bin fell into deep thought.
After a while, Xu Lang said to Hong Bin: "Re-investigate and sort out the interpersonal relationship between Wang Hongzhen and Liu Mingxuan. In addition, bring their family members here for questioning and investigation. They must know something."
Hong Bin nodded.
————————————————
Half an hour later.
In the interrogation room of the Chengnan Criminal Investigation Detachment, Xu Lang was sitting behind the interrogation table, and sitting opposite him was an older woman, who was Liu Mingxuan's wife Xi Junli.
I don't know whether it was because of her husband's suicide or because she was sitting in the interrogation chair for the first time, but Xi Junli looked extremely nervous and uncomfortable, and kept rubbing her clothes with her hands.
"Name."
"Xi Junli."
"age."
"60 years old."
"Household registration."
"A native of S city."
It was still the same at the beginning. After asking these questions, Xu Lang did not continue to speak, but fell silent.
"Police officer, did my husband really commit suicide?" Xu Lang remained silent, but Xi Junli asked.
Xu Lang narrowed his eyes subconsciously, nodded, and said, "Preliminary autopsy shows that Liu Mingxuan did commit suicide."
"oh."
"Um?"
Xu Lang thought that Xi Junli would say something after knowing the cause of Liu Mingxuan's death. However, Xi Junli's reaction was far beyond Xu Lang's expectation. She just said lightly, and then... then there was no reaction.
Xi Junli is not tall and her body has gained weight. She has aged and has wrinkles on her face. However, it can be seen that Xi Junli did look good when she was young, especially her eyes. At this moment, Xi Junli's eyes are red.
Yes, he obviously cried. This is normal. Regardless of whether Liu Mingxuan committed suicide or committed suicide, it is normal for a wife to feel sad after her husband dies. Before the interrogation, Hong Bin said that Xi Junli saw Liu Mingxuan’s body.
At that time, she looked heartbroken. However, Xi Junli's current attitude made Xu Lang very confused.
After Xi Junli asked this question, she lowered her head, rubbed her clothes with both hands, and stared at her thumbs, as if she was thinking about something.
"Is there any improper relationship between you and Wang Hongzhen?" Xu Lang asked.
Xi Junli lowered her head, shook her head, and said, "No."
"Really do not have?"
"No."
"What about your husband Liu Mingxuan and Wang Hongzhen's wife Gong Xiaomei?"
"No, he is an honest man."
Hearing Xi Junli's answer, Xu Lang frowned subconsciously.
"Have you read the suicide note Liu Mingxuan left before committing suicide?"
"Looked at it."
"Is it his handwriting?"
"Yes."
"Liu Mingxuan said in his suicide note that you had an improper relationship with Wang Hongzhen. Is it true?"
"He's talking nonsense."
"How do you prove that he is lying?"
"Because Wang Hongzhen and I have no inappropriate relationship."
"...."
Xu Lang frowned again.
"Then Liu Mingxuan said that he killed Wang Hongzhen, do you believe it?"
"Everyone is dead, does it matter whether you believe it or not?"
"important."
Xi Junli stopped talking.
"Is the relationship between Liu Mingxuan and Wang Hongzhen really that good?"
"They have such a good relationship that they almost wear a pair of pants."
"Then why did Liu Mingxuan kill Wang Hongzhen?"
"I have no idea."
"I don't know, or I don't want to tell you."
"..."
Xi Junli fell silent again. Obviously, this woman knew something, but she just kept it secret.
"Xi Junli, you have read a book. You should know that it is illegal to cover up criminals or know important clues. If you conceal it, you will need to bear legal responsibility. Do you know?"
"Know."
"Since you know, tell me what you know."
Xi Junli raised her head, glanced at Xu Lang, opened her mouth, as if she wanted something, but in the end she said nothing, lowered her head again, and became silent.
