The city bureau chief has been having a hard time lately.
All his subordinates seemed to know clearly who committed the crime, but they could not find any clues at all. This made him so angry that he cursed his subordinates for their incompetence in the office.
Because his superiors had given him a death order to solve the Luo family case within a limited time, he was a little upset.
But he also knew that it was not that his subordinates were truly incompetent, but that the murderer was too cunning and did not leave any useful clues.
He stared at the photo of Luo Xionghua nailed to the wall in deep thought.
If he were not a police officer who could convict a bad guy without evidence, he could have arrested Luo Xionghua and tortured him severely in the police station, forcing him to confess the truth.
But this is just "if", he is a law enforcement officer and he must have evidence.
He cursed at the photo, "You bastard! You're not even human! You could even kill your own mother and family. This is unforgivable! I'm going to catch you!"
He cursed heartily, but felt even more helpless in his heart. He couldn't help but doubt the correctness of using rumors in the street as a starting point to solve the case.
After all, we have been investigating for such a long time but have found nothing. Maybe the real murderer has misled us with rumors, causing everyone to choose the wrong direction from the beginning.
"Given Luo Xionghua's identity, he definitely wouldn't do it himself. Moreover, he has been hospitalized the entire time and has never left. All his call records have been checked, and there are no problems. So who helped him do it?" The director began to analyze again from the beginning.
He is an old police officer. The biggest reason he can sit in the position of director is his merit in solving cases. Faced with such difficulties, he decided to analyze the case himself.
He retrieved all of Luo Xionghua's social relationships from the computer, including the Li brothers. He compared and analyzed them one by one, but found nothing.
Finally, his eyes fell on Jia Huamei's name.
This woman was Luo Xionghua's mistress and gave birth to two illegitimate children for him.
If Luo Xionghua really killed so many members of the Luo family in order to seize all of their property as rumored, then this woman is very likely his accomplice, and perhaps we can use her as a breakthrough point.
So the director gave an order and police officers immediately conducted a comprehensive investigation on Jia Huamei.
Soon, with the full support of the Municipal Bureau, police officers found Jia Huamei's body at the bottom of the well in the yard of Li Yisheng's home in Lijia Village.
"Dead?" The director was shocked when he heard the news. "How did you find him?"
He didn't think that the clue was broken, but rather felt that this was a major breakthrough.
The subordinate reported, "We checked all the records on Jia Huamei's phone and discovered that she transferred money to Mr. Luo Qi three times in one day, totaling 100,700 yuan."
The director was shocked. How was this matter related to Luo Qi? If Luo Qi was involved in the murder case, it would be a big deal.
"We inquired with Mr. Luo Qi. Mr. Luo Qi said that he was good at fortune-telling. As someone who had been persecuted by Luo Chaoxin, he was thinking about how Luo Chaoxin was doing not long ago, so he told a fortune, but found out that Luo Chaoxin was about to lose his mother. He couldn't bear to see such a life die peacefully, so he pretended to be a fortune-teller and went to find Jia Huamei, and gave her a reminder through fortune-telling. In order to make her take it seriously, he charged such a high fortune-telling fee." The subordinate reported in some disbelief.
The director also found it a little unbelievable, but combined with Luo Qi's previous report, he felt that it was not impossible that Luo Qi was proficient in fortune-telling.
He asked, "Then how did you find Jia Huamei's body in the well? Did Luo Qi tell you?"
The subordinate replied, "Luo Qi said that when he read Jia Huamei's fortune, he predicted that she would die in the water, so we started our investigation from that aspect. We discovered that the well in the Li family's courtyard was unusually locked with a padlock, and the padlock looked newly installed."
"And then?" The director sensed that a breakthrough in the case was coming.
The subordinate immediately continued to report: "Then we collected fingerprints from the lock and found two fingerprints, one from Jia Huamei and the other from Li Yisheng. Some of Jia Huamei's fingerprints were covered by Li Yisheng's. Combined with Mr. Luo Qi's statement and the time of Jia Huamei's death, we have ruled out the possibility that Jia Huamei was murdered by Mr. Luo Qi. We can also analyze that what Mr. Luo Qi said is likely to be true."
"Jia Huamei is quite superstitious. She believed Luo Qi's fortune-telling, so she locked the well in the yard, thinking that she would not fall into the well and die. However, she did not expect that she was killed by Li Yisheng and then thrown into the well. Is that right?" The director analyzed.
"Great! Director, you are really amazing! It's like I saw it with my own eyes!" The subordinate gave him a thumbs up and flattered him.
"Get lost! By the way, how did Jia Huamei die?" The director cursed with a smile and asked a new question.
"After the autopsy, the forensic doctor found a large amount of water in her stomach and determined that she drowned. However, there were obvious signs of bleeding on the back of her head from being hit by a hard object, so it is determined that she was first knocked unconscious and pretended to be dead, and then tied with stones and thrown into the well to drown. Director, should we summon Li Yisheng now?" After the subordinate finished his report, he gave the director a chance to speak.
The director gave his subordinate a meaningful, approving look, nodded, and ordered, "No need to summon him. Simply apply for an arrest warrant for Li Yisheng. We don't have much time left. We can't alert the enemy now. We must be quick, accurate, and ruthless. We can't let him get away!"
"Understood!" The subordinate saluted the director and then went out to do his work.
"Haha! Why was Jia Huamei killed by Li Yisheng? Was it because he was furious after discovering that his wife had cheated on him, or was there another hidden story?" The director touched his chin and began to analyze again.
"Logically speaking, since Luo Chaoyang has been identified as a member of the Luo family, Li Yisheng must have known that his wife had cheated on him. If that was the reason, he should have killed Jia Huamei long ago. There must be another hidden reason."
The more the director analyzed, the more excited he became. He vaguely felt that he was about to uncover a big secret.
"Is it murder to silence someone? Oh, right, this Li Yisheng and Luo Xionghua's bodyguard Li Yiming are brothers. Li Yisheng was seriously injured in his early years. After being discharged from the hospital for a period of recuperation, he married Luo Xionghua's mistress Jia Huamei. Less than six months later, Jia Huamei gave birth to Luo Chaoxin. Holy shit, could it be that Li Yisheng and Jia Huamei are pretending to be a couple, and are actually helping Luo Xionghua take care of his mistress?"
The director was also a knowledgeable man, and he was also shocked by his own speculation.
"If my speculation is correct, then this Li Yisheng is a ruthless man! He might even be Luo Xionghua's tool for committing crimes. A venomous snake hiding in the dark corners!"
