Chapter 90
Tang Jixue insisted on joining in the fun, so Tang Qingqing took him along.
When Tang Qingqing arrived at the Public Security Bureau, she saw Shi Pengfei eating steamed buns and chatting about the case with someone in the office.
When he saw Tang Qingqing, he quickly finished the remaining half of the steamed bun in his hand, wiped his mouth and walked towards her.
"So, what did you find?"
Tang Qingqing shook her head: "I want to go and see it in person."
"Okay, I'll tell you about the work, and we'll be there soon."
It was Tang Jixue's first time to go to the Public Security Bureau, and his biggest impression was that everyone was very busy.
It's already past one o'clock, and many people are still looking at files or chatting about the case while eating. No one is idle.
Shi Pengfei took Tang Qingqing and Tang Jixue out on bicycles. Tang Jixue carried Tang Qingqing while Shi Pengfei rode one himself.
On the way, Shi Pengfei talked about this case with Tang Qingqing. The deceased was a section chief of the district taxation bureau. With such a big incident, everyone was wondering if he was involved in corruption.
Shi Pengfei denied this view: "During this period of time, our investigation did not find that the deceased had taken advantage of his position to engage in corruption. He was a stable and reserved person, and he was very serious about his work. We did not find that he had any grudges against anyone, nor did he have any conflicts with anyone at work."
"I heard that there is something wrong with his lifestyle?" Tang Jixue asked.
Tang Jixue often heard people discussing this case outside. This case caused a huge sensation in Yang City, and people on the streets were discussing who the murderer was.
The whole family was wiped out. What a huge vengeance this must be. It is definitely not a simple theft.
The deceased Zhang Xingli had been divorced once, and his current wife was his second. It was said that the divorce was very chaotic.
Zhang Xingli met his current wife before he divorced his ex-wife.
His current wife is their family's nanny, and they have been having an affair secretly for a long time.
Zhang Xingli comes from a well-off family. He is the youngest in the family. His older brother and parents are all civil servants. Therefore, even if he has problems with his conduct, it will not affect his future.
Many people think that he was retaliated against because of this.
"Zhang Xingli's divorce from his ex-wife was indeed very unhappy, but the reason for the divorce was that his ex-wife was in poor health and could not give birth to a child, so Zhang Xingli filed for divorce."
"According to our investigation, Zhang Xingli did not cheat during his marriage, and his divorce was respectable. It's just that his ex-wife has a bad temper. The couple met through an introduction, and they often quarreled."
Zhang Xingli's ex-wife came from a similar family background to him. She was a very capable woman and had her own temper.
The two had different philosophies on life. Zhang Xingli believed that women should take care of the family more, but Zhang Xingli's ex-wife wanted to develop her own career, and they had many arguments over this.
The child was just one of the reasons for the couple's divorce. If they could still live together, they wouldn't have ended up getting divorced.
After all, whether now or in the past, divorces are a minority, and organizations focus on reconciliation. Serious cases may even affect future development.
Zhang Xingli's current wife, Zhao Lifen, another victim, was indeed a nanny, but she worked for Zhang Xingli's parents.
Zhao Lifen was from the countryside. Zhang Xingli's parents were old and in poor health, and their children had to work, so they hired a nanny to take care of them.
Zhao Lifen is smart, capable and very careful, and is loved by the Zhang family.
After Zhang Xingli got divorced, he often went back to his parents' home. After a while, the two fell in love with each other and got together.
His ex-wife is doing very well now, and is married and living a happy life. They have not had any contact with each other for many years, so she has no reason to seek revenge on Zhang Xingli.
Zhang Xingli doesn't have any other lovers. People say that he has a mistress secretly, but those are all rumors.
Zhang Xingli didn't have any problems with his lifestyle, he just got divorced once.
Due to Zhang Xingli's special identity, a lot of manpower and time were spent on interviews and investigations, but no suspicious clues were found.
Tang Qingqing: "What about his wife Zhao Lifen?"
"Zhao Lifen came from the countryside. She was very kind and had no grudges against anyone. She had an older sister who also came to the city. The two sisters had a very good relationship. Zhao Lifen even lent money to her sister, Zhao Lixiang, to open a small shop."
Zhao Lixiang was also the first person to discover that something had happened to Zhao Lifen's family. She had a good relationship with her younger sister Zhao Lifen and often came to see her.
That day, Zhao Lixiang came to look for her sister as usual, but after knocking for a long time, there was no response at home. She thought Zhao Lifen had taken the children out to play, so she didn't pay much attention and went back.
But in the afternoon, she knocked on the door again and found that there was still no response, so she felt something was wrong.
Zhao Lixiang ran to Zhang Xingli's parents' house to get the key, so she ran to Zhang Xingli's parents' house to get the key.
Zhang Xingli's parents' home is not far from here. This house was originally allocated to them, but because they felt that the room upstairs was inconvenient, they exchanged houses with Zhang Xingli, so they also had the key.
Zhao Lixiang got the key and opened the door. She went upstairs and saw her sister and her family lying in a pool of blood. She was so scared that she crawled to call the police.
Tang Qingqing frowned: "It seems that the two victims have no enemies, but if they are not enemies, why would they be so cruel?"
The deceased's home had indeed been ransacked and all valuables were missing.
But if it was just for the money, even if they were discovered, they would just kill two adults under normal circumstances. The three children were upstairs and couldn't hear anything, so there was no need to do that.
Unless the murderer is extremely perverted and enjoys killing people.
Such people are often not committing crimes for the first time and have a criminal record.
If a stranger commits a crime randomly and has no direct relationship with the victim, this type of case is also the most difficult to investigate.
With current technology, if the murderer is on the run, he will disappear without a trace and will never be caught.
The three arrived at the victim's home. At this time, a cordon had been set up around the small building, and many people could not help but avoid it when passing by.
Those who are timid should not even take a second look, as they always feel that this place is gloomy and eerie.
The case was not solved, and nearby residents were in a panic, fearing that the brutal criminal would come back and harm other families as well.
It was broad daylight now, and the place was deserted.
The closer Tang Jixue got, the colder he felt in here. When he opened the door, he felt a cold breeze blowing across his back.
But when he saw that Tang Qingqing looked calm, he didn't dare to show his fear, otherwise he would seem useless.
Shi Pengfei gave the two people shoe covers and gloves, and asked them to put them on before walking in.
The case handling procedures in the city are obviously more rigorous than those in the commune, and great attention is paid to these details.
When Tang Qingqing was in the countryside, the scene was not only destroyed by the murderer group, but some police officers also had no awareness of protecting the scene.
It was not until Tang Qingqing became famous that she said that their intrusion would increase the difficulty of her investigation, and then things gradually changed.
Tang Qingqing has been paying attention to the traces on the ground. "After Zhao Lixiang found out that someone was dead, did people nearby rush into the house?"
Shi Pengfei: "No, the young people were all at work, and the only people at home were the elderly and children, and no one dared to go into the house. When we went in, we all wore shoe covers."
Tang Qingqing nodded and squatted down to check from time to time.
It took a while to walk to the second floor. As soon as she reached the stairs, Tang Qingqing smelled a strong smell of blood.
When we arrived at the room, although the body was no longer there, we could still tell how horrific the scene was.
Tang Qingqing looked around and walked to the third floor again, her steps obviously much heavier.
The bloodstains on the bedding stung Tang Qingqing's eyes. The scene overlapped with the photos she had seen, and she seemed to still see the three children lying there.
Tang Qingqing suppressed the strange emotions in her heart and carefully inspected the scene for traces.
"The murderer was very calm. He killed five people and was able to clean up the scene calmly." Shi Pengfei frowned.
Such people are still on the loose and are extremely dangerous.
Tang Qingqing didn't say anything. She took out a candy from her pocket, opened the candy wrapper and put it in her mouth, her attention all on the ground.
Tang Jixue wanted to ask her several times out of curiosity what she was watching, but Tang Qingqing didn't hear him at all and ignored him.
After a while, Tang Qingqing confirmed: "The murderer did not climb in or out through the window."
If you climb through the window, there will definitely be traces.
Although the iron railings on the first floor were pried open, there was not a single scratch. This is impossible.
Especially since the hole is not that big, it is impossible that there would be no trace at all.
Shi Pengfei: "But after inspection, there is no sign that the door has been pried open."
"Who else has the key to the house?"
"Apart from the deceased couple, only Zhang Xingli's parents had a key. They rarely used it and kept it in a drawer. They knocked on the door when they came, and they didn't bring the key with them."
The old couple did not interfere in the lives of their son's family. Even though they had the key, they did not regard this place as their own territory. They came and went as they pleased.
The investigation also found that no one had lost their keys; they all kept them on their person.
The child at home was rather naughty, and Zhao Lifen was often at home, so the couple did not give the key to the child.
Tang Qingqing pursed her lips and looked around:
“Does this family clean the house every day? When do they usually clean it?”
"Zhao Lifen is a very diligent person. She cleans twice a day. Once after lunch and once after dinner."
"On the night before the incident, after Zhao Lifen's family had dinner, did anyone come here?"
Shi Pengfei confirmed: "No, there were no guests visiting the deceased's home that day."
"Where's Zhao Lixiang? Has she been here?"
Shi Pengfei raised his eyebrows slightly: "She hasn't been here either. Is there something wrong with her?"
Tang Qingqing looked at her: "Have you ever suspected her?"
“一開始并沒有懷疑她，趙麗香的丈夫在五年前沒了，膝下只有一雙兒女。趙麗香丈夫的哥哥将他們母子三人趕出了家，把房子什麽都給占了。”
“趙麗芬看姐姐一家無家可歸，自己在城裏過得又不錯，就把她接到了城裏。安排姐姐給公婆當保姆，緩解了她的燃眉之急。開放後，又弄了個小賣部讓姐姐看着。”
經過走訪，可知兩姐妹關系很好，趙麗香并沒有殺人的動機。
根據法醫鑒定，兇手是一個成年男性，趙麗芬是一名女性，而且個子比較低，并不符合兇手的特征。
因此，從一開始趙麗香就被排除在外。
可後續趙麗香的表現，讓石鵬飛産生了懷疑。
“趙麗香的情緒過于激動了。”
唐繼學不解：“對自己這麽好的妹妹被殺了，情緒激動不是很正常嗎？要我沒瘋都不錯了。”
石鵬飛搖搖頭：“不一樣，她揚言，如果案子一天不破，妹妹和妹夫一家的屍體一天就不會下葬，不能讓他們死不瞑目。”
唐繼學還是沒感覺哪裏不對勁，“這……有什麽嘛？”
石鵬飛只是搖頭，并未解釋為什麽。
當刑警時間長了，形形色色的人都見過，也就比普通人要敏感。
趙麗香情緒激動，甚至一度要撞牆跟妹妹一家走了，哭天嚎地，十分地傷心。
一開始石鵬飛确實是覺得她是太過難過，妹妹幫了她這麽多，看着一家慘死，心裏崩潰也很正常。
可看多了，反倒生了疑。
唐青青道：“你跟我具體說說，趙麗香從看到妹妹妹夫慘死到後來報警的過程跟我說一下，她去了哪裏，在哪裏走過。”
石鵬飛帶着唐青青走了一遍，“趙麗香看一樓沒有動靜，就直接上了二樓。看到妹妹一家慘死，直接腿軟坐地上，好一會才爬起來跑出去報警。”
唐青青來回查看情況，時不時還趴在地上，然後轉了好幾個方向查看情況。
“不對。”
“什麽不對？”
“她出入過衛生間。”
石鵬飛表情嚴肅：“你确定？”
“趙麗香是不是身高一米五六上下，年齡三十歲，身材偏瘦？”
“對！”
“那就沒錯了，你過來看，趴在我剛才所在的角度，能看到她有腳印留在這裏。”唐青青指着自己剛才趴過的地方道。
這個屋子的地板用了水磨石，非常地光滑，加之趙麗芬非常愛幹淨，天天打掃和拖地，因此地板亮得能反光。
石鵬飛學着唐青青剛才的動作趴在地上，斜着看果然通過光照能看到上面的模糊的鞋印。
如果角度不對，是難以被發現的。
石鵬飛也是服了，“你這眼神也是絕了！”
唐繼學一頭霧水：“這又能證明什麽呢？興許她當時太過激動害怕，忘了說這麽個事呢？”
“那個情況下她怎麽有閑心到處亂竄？”
“這倒也是。”
唐青青又道：“不過這不是重點，根據腳印看，她曾出入過洗手間，并且曾用拖把拖過地面。”
唐繼學眼睛都瞪圓了，“她這是想要幹嘛！”
“現場那麽多血跡，兇手不可能一點痕跡都沒有留下。他離開的時候，肯定留下了腳印，只是被清理掉了。”
石鵬飛眼睛一亮，“她果然有問題！”
唐繼學不可思議：“不能夠吧，她妹妹對她這麽好，如果不是她妹妹，她哪裏能到市裏，她沒事吧她！？”
石鵬飛已經待不住了，這是一條重要線索。
一旦證明了趙麗香有問題，就可以從這個方向入手。
“唐青青同志，你可是幫了我們大忙啊！”
“希望對你們後面的偵查有所幫助，可惜沒有看到兇手的鞋印，否則能提供更多的線索。”
“這已經是重大發現了！”
法醫之前也曾收集過拖把上的指紋，只有趙麗香姐妹的，并沒有兇手的指紋。
趙麗香也經常過來幫妹妹幹活，因此這并不為奇。
當時大家還以為兇手有反偵察能力，戴了手套作案。
回去的時候，石鵬飛也不再搭理唐青青兄妹倆，跟飛似的騎着自行車走了，整個人風風火火的。
唐繼學看着石鵬飛遠去的背影，嘆道：“工資沒多少，幹活比誰都拼。”
“工作上帶來的成就感，是金錢無法替代的。”
“你以後真的也要幹這一行啊？每天忙成這個樣子，值得嗎？”
唐青青歪了歪腦袋，仔細思考了一下。
“我不知道值不值，但是我喜歡這樣的工作。”
“女孩子不是就喜歡漂漂亮亮嗎？我們家又不是沒有能力，你何必這麽辛苦呢。”
“你也可以不用那麽辛苦自己拼，爸媽完全可以為你鋪好路，你為什麽非不走呢？”
唐繼學笑了起來：“看來這個家就我們兩個能在這個話題上達成協議了。”
唐青青挑眉看他，“不止吧。”
她可聽說唐珍珍也很支持他去做生意的。
唐繼學一看就知道她想些什麽，道：“珍珍要是知道我準備在街上賣襪子，估計會覺得很丢臉吧。”
“你要去賣襪子？不是已經外包了發帶頭繩嗎？”
“那也不能賺太多差價，這不是成了資本家了。而且那些人都是我認識的，也不能下手太狠了。又不是什麽值錢東西，不合适。”
別人搞不來這些東西，唐繼學可以，所以收取點費用也應當，只是能賺的還是比較有限的。
他還是得自己去做買賣，這樣也不容易被人揪住小辮子。
“你打算親自去賣襪子？”唐青青上下打量他。
賣這玩意，肯定會被人笑話的。
“你這是什麽眼神，小瞧了我不是？不就是賣襪子了，有什麽了不起的。”
“我是怕你被爸媽打死了。”
堂堂一個機械廠廠長的兒子，明明有好工作不去做，竟然走街串巷賣襪子。
唐青青已經能想象得到，這件事傳到唐建國和蘇蓉耳朵裏，會是什麽樣的場景了。
通過自己的關系，弄來頭繩頭花，讓返城知青有事可幹，雖然傳出去也不怎麽樣，可到底也是互幫互助精神了。
可要是唐繼學自己去賣襪子，那性質就完全不同了。
“所以我打算到別的區去賣！你可不能跟家裏人說啊，誰都不能說。”
唐繼學也不想挑戰父母的底線，先試着在外面發展一下再說。
“我沒事說這些幹嘛，只是紙包不住火，你得做迎接暴風雨的好準備。”
唐繼學甩了甩頭發，“我這麽一個優秀人才，都要走街串巷賣襪子了，還有啥可怕的！”
唐青青去學校報名那天，盜竊案有了進展。
她去公安局的時候，石鵬飛還帶頭給她鼓掌。
“唐青青同志，多虧了你這個發現啊！”
嫌疑犯張耀光竟然有個雙胞胎弟弟！誰能知道，還能有這樣的事。
當初兩兄弟被生下來時，弟弟出來得太晚了，被憋狠了，情況很不好。
張耀光父母沒錢治，就把孩子扔在醫院就給跑了。
沒想到醫院把弟弟給救活了，并且被一對沒有孩子的養父母所收養。
張耀光父母離世之前，跟他提起他有過這麽一個弟弟，也不知道他是死是活。
張耀光就根據父母所給的信息去那裏調查，沒想到還真的找到了這個跟自己長得一模一樣的弟弟。
石鵬飛：“張耀光的弟弟被養父母收養後沒多久，就有了自己的孩子。他的境遇一下掉到了谷底，養父母對他越來越差，對他各種使喚，經常拳打腳踢。因此他對養父母沒有感情，于是就跟張耀光一塊出來混。”
“張耀光從小手腳就不幹淨，看到跟自己長得一樣的弟弟，就想出了這麽個法子。要是哥哥去偷東西，弟弟就故意在別人面前晃，要是被發現，也有不在場證據。要是弟弟去偷東西，哥哥就故意跑別人面前。”
唐青青看了一眼張耀光弟弟，确實跟留下的鞋印相吻合。
“這點就被這兩小子給忽悠住了！還好被你發現了這一情況。”
這件事還挺不好查的，若非唐青青如此肯定，也不好麻煩那邊的警方。
比較這個案子，唐青青更關心另一個案子。
“滅門案現在進展怎麽樣？”
“招了，趙麗香确實清理過現場痕跡。一開始她還死不承認，直到我們把兇手給抓到，她這才老實了。”
唐青青一聽這話，心底一沉：“兇手是誰？”
“是趙麗香女兒的男朋友。”
确定趙麗香有問題，他們又對她的社會關系進行進一步的調查，于是發現了問題。
趙麗香的大女兒已經十六歲了，她小學畢業就沒有繼續念書了，一直在幫家裏做事，還在城裏談了一個男朋友。
那個男的是個本地人，不過家境不怎麽好，為人還有些憨傻。
平常經常到小賣部幫母女兩搬東西幹活，只不過趙麗香一直不喜歡這個未來女婿，一直想要拆散兩人。
趙麗香覺得自己的女兒可以找到更好的，可趙麗香的女兒就是認定了這個男人，為此母女倆也曾争吵過。
Tang Qingqing frowned.
"At first, the murderer wanted to take all the blame on himself. It was Zhao Lixiang's daughter who didn't notice the interrogation and took the initiative to confess that everything was planned by Zhao Lixiang. She said that if she didn't do this, she wouldn't let the two of them be together."
"Zhao Lixiang is still being stubborn and only admits that she recognized the owner of the footprints. She thought that her sister's family had already died and she couldn't get more people involved, so she cleaned up the traces and didn't want another person to be harmed by this incident."
Tang Qingqing was even more incredulous, "Why? Aren't they sisters very close? Why did she kill him?"
"We are still investigating further, but according to the information collected so far, the relationship between the two sisters may not be as good as it is said. Zhao Lifen's son often bullies Zhao Lixiang's younger son, especially the older son who is particularly naughty and is usually a bully in school. Teachers often report this to Zhang Xingli and Zhao Lifen, but Zhao Lifen doesn't take it seriously. If her son hits someone and the other person retaliates and injures him, Zhao Lifen will scold the child and his parents.
The eldest son bullied his cousin who was about the same age as him. He would throw homework to him and sometimes tease and bully him for fun. A child once heard Zhao Lifen's eldest son scold Zhao Lixiang's youngest son, saying that their family was a parasite and that if it weren't for their family, they would have died outside, so he had to do whatever she said.
Children's attitudes are often influenced by their parents.
If the two sisters had such a deep affection for each other, then the children of both families should not have said such harsh words and done such terrible things.
Even if it was done, given the relationship between the two families, they would have communicated early on, criticizing when necessary and comforting when necessary.
Unfortunately, it didn't happen, and the situation got worse and worse.
