Chapter 95 New Evidence
◎Is it true that you and her husband are living together illegally?◎
After the suspect was brought back, no one in the serious crime team looked happy.
Logically speaking, since the suspect was found in just three days and important evidence such as the blood-stained clothes and shoes were discovered, everyone should be cheering and celebrating.
However, facing Gui Youlian's constant pleading: "Let me take Zhuzhu with me, let me keep Zhuzhu by my side, she is only five years old and has no one to take care of her, it won't work." Even a man like Zhu Feipeng felt a little reluctant, not to mention Liu Liangju, the kind father of the delicate daughter Liu Lizi.
Liu Lizi is six years old this year and has just started primary school. She is very cute. Seeing Zhuzhu, who is about the same age as her, with tears in her eyes but not daring to cry, Liu Liangju's heart was broken.
Fortunately, the police from the police station finally contacted Gui Youlian's sister and handed Zhuzhu over to her care. After the arrangements were made, the serious crime team interrogated Gui Youlian.
Wearing cold handcuffs and sitting in a police car, Gui Youlian never imagined that one day the way she would escape from the garbage dump would be to be caught by the police.
Sitting in the iron chair in the interrogation room, looking at the eight cold black characters in Song Dynasty style on the white wall: "Leniency to those who confess, severity to those who resist", Gui Youlian's breathing became more and more rapid, and her heartbeat became faster and faster, so fast that it seemed that her heart would be unable to bear the burden and stop beating in the next second.
Zhao Xiangwan looked at Gui Youlian, whose lips were black, and recalled what Zhuzhu had thought in her heart: Mom was in poor health, there was no money at home, and Mom didn't even have money to buy medicine. He felt nervous and asked patiently, "Gui Youlian, what's wrong with you? What medicine are you taking?"
Gui Youlian panted and mentioned two prescription medications.
Zhao Xiangwan nodded, signaling everyone to check it first, and then he went out and came to the infirmary. He used the mentioned medicine according to her symptoms and communicated with the doctor.
The doctor said: "These are all drugs for treating hyperthyroidism. You need to take them regularly." Then he prescribed some medicine, put it in a small paper bag, and wrote the instructions on it.
Zhao Xiangwan returned with the pills, brought a glass of warm water, and then pushed open the door of the interrogation room.
Zhao Xiangwan had been an intern in the serious crime unit for four years, and they had already developed a high degree of tacit understanding. When they saw her ask a few questions about the patient's condition and then leave, they all knew what she was going to do. Gao Guangqiang asked some personal information questions as a routine matter, and then stopped questioning about the case. When he saw Zhao Xiangwan push the door open, he nodded and motioned for her to come forward.
Zhao Xiangwan handed over the medicine and water: "The instructions for taking are written in the bag. This bag, three times a day, two pills each time; this bag, three times a day, one pill each time."
Gui Youlian's eyes were hot, and she raised her hands tremblingly. Her hands were cuffed, so it was inconvenient for her to move. She could only take a sip of water from the cup. Zhao Xiangwan poured a small pill from the bag, put it in her other hand, and assisted her in taking the medicine.
After taking the pill, Gui Youlian didn't know whether it was the real effect of the medicine or a psychological effect, but she felt her racing heart gradually calm down and her breathing returned to normal. She patted her chest and looked at Zhao Xiangwan with gratitude: "Thank you, thank you."
Zhao Xiangwan waved his hand and returned to his seat.
Gao Guangqiang continued to interrogate: "The person whose body was thrown into the well was your husband Liao Chaoyong, right?"
Gui Youlian said nothing.
Gao Guangqiang patiently explained to her: "Although the face of the body was damaged, the fingerprints are still there. We have already extracted fingerprints at your home and collected your daughter's DNA. As long as we conduct tests and comparisons, we can confirm the identity of the deceased. If you had told her earlier, maybe you could have gotten a lenient treatment."
Gui Youlian didn't understand, so she looked up and asked, "What fingerprints, what D, what A?"
Zhu Feipeng sighed and raised his right hand: "Every one of us has lines on our fingers, right?"
Gui Youlian understood this: "I know, there are baskets and dustpans. The old people say that one basket makes you poor, two baskets make you rich, three baskets and four baskets make you tofu, five baskets and six baskets make you a pawnshop, seven baskets and eight baskets make you an official, nine baskets and ten baskets make you live a peaceful life. I only have one basket, so I am poor."
Zhu Feipeng patiently explained: "Your belief is superstition, and what I am talking about now is science. The patterns on everyone's fingers are different, and the identity of a person can be determined based on the fingerprints. The fingerprints on the palm of the body in the waste well are intact. As long as they are successfully matched with the fingerprints taken from your home, we can confirm whether this person is your husband. As for DNA..."
Zhu Feipeng thought about it and estimated that even if he talked until his mouth was dry, Gui Youlian would not understand, so he gave up popularizing science: "In short, this is the same principle as the ancient blood test to identify relatives. Through Zhuzhu's hair, we can determine whether the corpse is Zhuzhu's father and daughter, and we can also confirm whether the corpse is Liao Chaoyong."
Gui Youlian felt a bitter taste in her mouth: "So, the police are so good at solving cases?"
She was not very strong and could not find a shovel to dig a hole, so she remembered that there was an abandoned well not far away, a place she had played in as a child. Now the residents thought it was too smelly and no one came there, so she came up with the idea of throwing the body into the well and burying it with sand to dispose of it. She did not expect that it would be found by the police after only four days.
I thought that even if the body was found, the police would not be able to find the man even if he was stripped naked and his face was distorted. I never thought that the police were so powerful that they could judge whether the man was Zhuzhu's father by fingerprints and hair. The more Gui Youlian thought about it, the more frustrated she became. She sat paralyzed in the chair like a deflated ball, without any strength.
[If I had known, I would have smashed my fingers into pieces. ]
[But it's no use, Zhuzhu is still here. ]
[Alas, what should I do? The police found the body and me so quickly. Can I fight the government? No way~]
[So many people are clamoring not to build a garbage dump, but did the government listen? They built it anyway. It's useless, useless…]
Gao Guangqiang held up the photo of the body and raised his voice: "Is this person Liao Chaoyong?"
Gui Youlian timidly looked at the photo and began to tremble. There were some things that she had to do at the time. But when she thought about it later, she was afraid every moment. When she saw the photo of the corpse covered with body spots, her scalp went numb. Gui Youlian's tears flowed again, and she trembled and said, "Is... right?"
Gao Guangqiang asked: "Yes or no?"
Gui Youlian was overwhelmed by the police's momentum and shuddered: "Yes!"
Gao Guangqiang continued to ask: "Did you kill him?"
Gui Youlian shook her head: "No, no, I didn't kill him."
Gao Guangqiang asked: "Why is there his bloodstained clothes at home?"
Gui Youlian didn't know how to respond: "I don't know, I just washed a piece of clothing, is that okay?"
Gao Guangqiang said: "The bloody shirt has his blood stains and your blood stains. The fibers found at the scene can match the clothes, which means that this shirt is exactly the clothes Liao Chaoyong wore at the crime scene. He was stripped naked and thrown into the well, but the clothes were in your house. How do you explain it? There are your blood stains on the floor of the garbage dump management room. How do you explain this?"
Gui Youlian was forced to have nowhere to escape. She bent down, held her head and began to wail: "I don't know, I don't know, I don't know anything."
Several people in the interrogation room exchanged glances, and finally all looked at Zhao Xiangwan who was taking notes.
——This is Xiangwan's strong point, let her do it!
Zhao Xiangwan understood what his colleagues meant, nodded slightly, and put down his pen.
Zhu Kang took over her work and started taking notes.
Zhao Xiangwan sighed softly and looked at Gui Youlian who was still waiting: "Gui Youlian, don't be afraid. We will not wrongly accuse a good person, nor will we let any bad person go."
Her voice was like the gurgling of a summer stream, which gradually calmed Gui Youlian's frightened heart.
Gui Youlian put down her hands, slowly straightened up, and stared at Zhao Xiangwan blankly: "But... there is no justice in this world. Good people don't live long, and bad people can live long."
A cold light flashed in Zhao Xiangwan's eyes: "Nonsense. In the cases we handled, the good guys lived well, but the bad guys died miserably."
Zhao Xiangwan's words gave Gui Youlian some confidence: "Really?"
Zhu Feipeng and Zhu Kang said in unison: "Really!" When our serious crime team handles a case, even if a good person is killed, we must redress his or her injustice and find the bad guy and punish him or her severely!
Gui Youlian bent down with all her strength and lifted up her trouser legs: "I, I'm injured too."
There was a long knife wound on his calf, running from the ankle to the knee. The skin and flesh were exposed and had formed a scar, but it was obvious that a lot of blood must have been shed at the time.
Gui Youlian also showed off the multiple wounds on her body, including knife wounds, bruises, and pinch marks...
Gui Youlian said with tears in her eyes: "He had a woman outside and wanted to divorce me. I refused, so he beat me."
[I can't leave you. What will happen to me if I leave you? What will happen to the children?]
After experiencing the divorce of Zhang Yalan's parents, Zhao Xiangwan has a deeper understanding of this kind of family disputes than his peers. Many times, women are trapped in unhappy marriages but are unwilling to divorce, one because of money, the other because of children.
Because they are unable to live independently and cannot raise their children on their own, they choose to endure it.
They always believe that as long as they persist, men will eventually discover their good qualities and return to the family.
Little do they know that it is precisely because they are too afraid of losing that men are so fearless.
Zhao Xiangwan did not dwell on the domestic violence: "Tell us what happened at the garbage dump? Why did you kill him?"
Gui Youlian shook her head desperately: "No, no, I didn't want to kill him. He wanted to kill me. Believe me, he really wanted to kill me!"
Zhao Xiangwan's attitude was very gentle: "We believe you, just take your time."
Gui Youlian's ability to express himself was not very good, and it was only under the guidance of Zhao Xiangwan that he was able to slowly restore the process.
Liao Chaoyong and Gui Youlian are a poor couple.
Both of them are from Shannan Village. They have been childhood sweethearts, picking wild berries and catching loaches together, and going to school together with their schoolbags. After graduating from junior high school, they were catching up with the expansion and development of the city. Shannan Village was incorporated into Wangyang District of Xingshi City, and a small factory was established. It was natural for the two to be recruited into the soy sauce factory and get city household registration.
After getting married, we were allocated a staff dormitory with two bedrooms and a living room, which was considered a winner in life in the 1980s.
However, the plan did not change quickly. With the construction of the waste dump, the air was filled with a strange smell from time to time. The quality of the soy sauce factory's products was greatly reduced and they could not be sold at all.
Soon, the factory closed down and the workers were laid off.
Gui Youlian had been pregnant several times, but unfortunately suffered miscarriages every time. She finally gave birth to Zhuzhu, and she looked after her like the apple of her eye, fearing that something might happen to her again.
Gui Youlian had hyperthyroidism and needed to take medicine for a long time. She couldn't go out and hang out, so she took out all the family savings and let Liao Chaoyong go out to do business and make money. The couple discussed that as long as Liao Chaoyong made money, they would immediately rent a house in the city and the family would leave this smelly place.
I never expected that Liao Chaoyong's heart would slowly go wild after he went out.
At first, Liao Chaoyong didn't make much money and lost all the money in his family.
Gui Youlian did not blame him. She sold the gold bracelet her mother left her, borrowed some money from someone, and once again gave it to Liao Chaoyong, instructing him to do a good job outside.
Liao Chaoyong hugged Gui Youlian gratefully at that time, and repeatedly promised that he would work hard and buy a big house and big gold jewelry for her and Zhuzhu in the future.
This time, Liao Chaoyong really made money. He hooked up with a divorced woman named Jiao Lili who sold water and electricity pipes, and the two of them opened a shop together. Liao Chaoyong was strong and willing to endure hardships, so he was responsible for purchasing and delivering goods. The woman could drink and talk, so she was responsible for contacting business. The two worked well together, and the store grew bigger and bigger.
Liao Chaoyong had a new idea.
He wants to divorce and marry Jiao Lili. When a couple opens a shop, their interests are more closely tied.
Liao Chaoyong did not hide anything and told Gui Youlian directly that he could give her 10,000 yuan and leave the soy sauce factory house to her, but he wanted his daughter.
Perhaps because he was middle-aged and had experienced several miscarriages, his daughter Zhuzhu was hard to come by, and Liao Chaoyong was sincere about his daughter. In addition, Jiao Lili was infertile, so Liao Chaoyong was determined to have a daughter.
The couple had an argument. Gui Youlian loved her daughter as if she were her life and would never give up her custody. The two could not reach an agreement and entered a vicious circle.
Liao Chaoyong would come back twice a week to play with his daughter and have meals with her. Every time he came home, he would have a fight with Gui Youlian. Liao Chaoyong beat and scolded her, and the worst time he used a kitchen knife to chop her. Gui Youlian was also stubborn. No matter how he beat or talked, she did not resist or call the police. She just shook her head and was determined not to divorce.
After beating the man, Liao Chaoyong couldn't bear to leave his daughter, so he left after leaving some money.
This dragged on until this year, and seeing that Zhuzhu would be going to primary school next year, Liao Chaoyong was a little anxious. He came back last week and talked about divorce again.
Gui Youlian still didn't give in.
Liao Chaoyong backed down a step, but made a request: "Forget it, forget it. I really can't do anything to you. I can give up the right to raise your child, and I can also give you child support every month, but there is a condition."
Gui Youlian only wanted to be able to raise the child with her, so she anxiously asked, "What are the conditions?"
Liao Chaoyong said: "Tonight, you and I will go to the garbage dump."
Gui Youlian was a little scared: "It's been deserted for a month. It's dirty and smelly. Only some rag collectors go there to pick things up. What are you going to do there at night?"
Liao Chaoyong glared at her and said, "I'm not sure if I will sell you off. I have a batch of goods that were stolen by someone else. We agreed to exchange the money for the goods at the garbage dump. The price of this batch of goods is low, and it will be much cheaper if I sell it again. Jiao Lili refused to go with me, so you have to go with me."
Gui Youlian felt bad when she heard him say that he was reluctant to let Jiao Lili suffer, but forced her to go. But the offer was very tempting. As long as she accompanied him once and loaded the goods onto the truck, he would not compete with her for her daughter again, and he would also give her child support every month.
She hesitated and said, "Stolen, stolen property? Is that illegal?"
Liao Chaoyong said in a gruff voice: "How can you make money if you don't break the law? Do you think the money I gave you two was blown by the wind? Tell me, are you going or not? If not, forget it!"
So, Gui Youlian agreed.
About eight days ago, it was a very dark night.
The moon moved through the clouds, appearing and disappearing in the clouds.
After putting her daughter Zhuzhu to sleep, Gui Youlian and Liao Chaoyong walked to the garbage dump. Gui Youlian was worried: "Where is your truck? Why do you have to walk there?"
Liao Chaoyong's answer was very impatient: "I parked the truck there during the day. What if I drove past it at night and someone found it with the lights on? You are poorly educated and stupid. You have never worked outside and you don't know anything. Don't ask me any more questions! If you say one more question, I will sue you in court! I have inquired about it. For a woman like you who has no source of income, the judge will never give Zhuzhu to you."
Gui Youlian was frightened by him and turned pale. She closed her mouth and dared not say anything, but despair overwhelmed her like a flooding tide. She was poor and had low aspirations. She had no ability to make money, so she was bullied by him.
Although the gate of the garbage dump was locked with an iron chain, it had been abandoned for nearly a month and no one was looking after it. It had long been damaged by people picking up scraps and would fall down easily if they pulled it. The two men opened the iron gate and walked into the management office.
The management office is relatively clean. In the corner are several garbage carts, which are dirty and smelly. Codes can be vaguely seen on the garbage carts. They are government assets and no one dares to steal them. Even if the broken ones come and go, they are still stored here.
As soon as she stepped into the management office, Gui Youlian felt Liao Chaoyong grabbing her hair. The severe pain made her scream: "Ah——"
Liao Chaoyong said fiercely: "Shut up!"
He pulled hard, and Gui Youlian's body fell forward, staggered and fell, and was dragged by Liao Chaoyong all the way. The room was dark, Gui Youlian could not see anything, and could only scream and beg for mercy: "Chaoyong, Chaoyong, what are you doing? Let me go, it hurts."
The darkness magnified the evil in Liao Chaoyong's heart. At this moment, he was like a ferocious beast, pulling Gui Youlian forward. The moon happened to emerge from the clouds at this time.
The moonlight slanted down from the window, and at that moment, Gui Youlian saw Liao Chaoyong's face clearly.
It was a face completely different from usual.
His face was distorted, his eyes were wide open, flashing with inexplicable excitement, and his mouth was wide open, as if he wanted to release the suppressed bloodthirstiness.
At this moment, Gui Youlian's woman's intuition finally made her realize Liao Chaoyong's murderous intention: "Are you going to hurt me? Are you going to hurt me?"
Liao Chaoyong dragged Gui Youlian forward with his right hand and reached towards the drawer in the management office with his right hand.
He opened the drawer and took out a sharp knife.
He turned his head and sneered, "If you die, there will be no one to compete with me for the pearls! You shameless woman, you haven't made a penny in all these years, and you still dare to compete with me for the pearls? Bah! I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it."
The fear of death sobered Gui Youlian up.
There has never been a moment when I was so clear-headed.
She knew that Liao Chaoyong had lured her here today just to kill her.
Why do you want to kill people?
In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Gui Youlian's mind.
Can't you just talk nicely?
Is it not possible to not get divorced?
We were childhood sweethearts, went to school together holding hands, our parents arranged our marriage early on, and we were hired into the factory together, so we had a foundation for love.
I had three miscarriages in order to get pregnant. Doctors said that if I got pregnant again, I would be risking my life. But in order to have a fruit of love with you, I gritted my teeth and got pregnant for the fourth time. I stayed in bed for seven months out of the ten months of pregnancy!
Why do you want to kill me?
Zhuzhu is so cute, can you bear to let her be without a mother?
You have good conditions and you want the pearls, but how can I bear to give them to you?
Old people always say that it is better to be with a beggar mother than with an official father. You have a new love, will you be devoted to Zhuzhu?
…
It seemed like a long time had passed, but the rest was just a moment. Until, during the dragging and struggling, Gui Youlian's hand touched a hard object.
The instinct for survival made her grab the brick.
With a flash of cold light, Liao Chaoyong approached her with a knife.
"Zhuzhu!" Gui Youlian suddenly let out a sharp cry.
Liao Chaoyong was stunned.
Gui Youlian suddenly turned over and stood up, picked up the brick in his hand, and smashed it hard on the back of Liao Chaoyong's head.
"Puff--"
In the dark night, the brick, with its sharp force and Gui Youlian's full rage, smashed hard on the back of the head, the most vulnerable part of human beings.
The lower part of the back of the head is where the brain stem is located, which is the center of life that controls human breathing and heartbeat.
The strike hit the target and Liao Chaoyong fell to the ground.
Fear made Gui Youlian's mind go blank. She let out a sharp cry and rushed forward to hit him a dozen more times.
One, two, three...
Until the person under her hand became motionless, until her face and body were covered in blood.
The moonlight poured down again, presenting this bloody scene before Gui Youlian's eyes.
After regaining consciousness, Gui Youlian realized she was afraid. She fell to the ground and tried desperately to crawl out, just wanting to leave this place as soon as possible.
When she ran to the iron gate of the garbage dump, the moonlight was so bright that it was blinding, and Gui Youlian suddenly stopped.
——Are you leaving just like that?
At this point, Gui Youlian stared at Zhao Xiangwan blankly: "I thought at the time that I couldn't let anyone know that I had killed someone. I didn't want to go to jail, and I still had to take care of Zhuzhu. So I turned back. I was afraid that he would be recognized, so I stripped him naked, put a few bricks on his face, loaded it with a cart, and threw it into the abandoned well. I added two more trucks of sand and gravel to cover his body. After making sure that no one could find it, I returned the cart and went home with the clothes. When I was doing these things, I felt like I had endless energy, but when I got home, my whole body was sore and I had no strength at all. After several days, my hands and feet were still shaking."
Zhao Xiangwan knew that this situation was normal.
Extreme fear can stimulate the greatest potential of human beings, so the thin, sick and weak Gui Youlian was able to defeat the tall, fat and strong Liao Chaoyong. But after this momentum passes and safety is confirmed, the whole person will lose strength.
But the question that Zhao Xiangwan is concerned about right now is: Where is the knife that Liao Chaoyong used to kill her?
Zhao Xiangwan raised his eyes and looked at Gui Youlian, who was sweating profusely because of the past memories: "Where is the knife? We didn't find any knife in the management office."
Gui Youlian answered stupidly, "There was not just one knife in the drawer, but two, wrapped in newspapers. I was scared, so I took the two knives out and threw them into the garbage."
Zhao Xiangwan frowned: "Why didn't you throw the clothes in too?"
Gui Youlian looked around in confusion: "That, that's Zhuzhu's father's clothes."
well……
Everyone was speechless.
Next, under Gui Youlian's guidance, the serious crime team found two knives wrapped in newspapers from the smelly garbage dump.
A sharp knife, a meat cleaver with a pointed tip, a thin blade, and an extremely sharp edge.
The other one is a bone-cutting knife forged from high-carbon steel and spring steel.
The light is cold and chilly.
Seeing the two knives and thinking of the several agricultural woven bags randomly placed at the door of the management office, the members of the serious crime squad felt their scalps tingling.
——If Gui Youlian hadn’t killed Liao Chaoyong with one blow, she would not only have been stabbed to death in the management office, but her body would also have been dismembered on the spot, packed into dirty woven bags, and thrown into this garbage dump.
When the landfill is built in the future and all the garbage is buried underground, Gui Youlian will be included in the missing list and no one will know where she is.
Liao Chaoyong legitimately took Zhuzhu to his side to raise her. Four years later, Gui Youlian was declared dead by law because her whereabouts were unknown, and Liao Chaoyong lived happily ever after.
As soon as they thought of this possibility, everyone present cursed in their hearts: Shameless!
No matter how foul the smell from this abandoned garbage dump is, it is not as dirty as Liao Chaoyong's soul.
A group of people suddenly gathered outside the waste dump.
They are all locals.
Seeing several police cars driving over reminded them of the recent case of a body being dumped into a waste well, curiosity drove the crowd over regardless of the stench.
Seeing the criminal police escorting Gui Youlian out of the garbage dump, someone in the crowd recognized her and shouted, "Gui Youlian, isn't that from the Liao family? Why was she arrested? Damn! Could she have killed the rich man surnamed Liao?"
The people around were chattering to find out what was going on, and after they understood what was going on, they began to discuss it.
"No wonder he took off all his clothes. After Liao made some money, he became very stylish. His belt buckles are all gold! He was recognized as soon as he showed off his high-end clothes."
"There's no such thing as overnight hatred between a husband and wife. Why would you want to kill someone?"
"This woman is so cruel! She smashed her husband's face with a brick and it was all over the place."
"It's over, it's over. He killed people and dumped bodies. He has a bad character. Gui Youlian will definitely be shot. What about her baby? Zhuzhu is very cute and well-behaved."
Gui Youlian was originally calm, but when she heard the last sentence, she suddenly became excited. She stretched out her handcuffed hands and grabbed Zhao Xiangwan's arm tightly, tears streaming down her face: "Will I really shoot? If I kill someone, I will definitely die, right? I don't want to die! I don't want to die! I have confessed that he wanted to kill me, and I had no choice..."
Zhao Xiangwan, who originally disliked physical contact, was grabbed tightly by the suspect's arm, but he did not push her hand away. Instead, he looked at Gui Youlian's miserable face and said softly but firmly: "Don't be afraid."
Gui Youlian gained some strength from her eyes and slowly loosened her hand: "You are a good person and a good police officer. I believe you and I believe the police. I will confess and be lenient. I want to live and watch Zhuzhu grow up. You said that good people will be rewarded, right?"
After collecting all the evidence, everyone in the serious crime team returned to the office and began to discuss the case.
As usual, the small blackboard was pushed up again and everyone expressed their opinions.
This time, Liu Liangju was the first to stand up.
He wrote two big words on the small blackboard.
——Self-defense.
When Gui Youlian cried and said, "I believe you, I believe the police," he was standing next to Zhao Xiangwan. As a parent, he felt the same way. He wanted to raise his daughter and watch her grow up happily. Therefore, Gui Youlian did not ask for acquittal, but only for life.
Even if I am in jail, I can still see my daughter from time to time; even if I am separated by iron bars, I can still get news about my daughter. As long as she is not dead, there is hope, right?
Liu Liangju said solemnly: "Murder does not necessarily mean the death penalty. The judge will also decide based on the circumstances. Causing death includes intentional homicide, indirect intentional homicide, and manslaughter. According to Gui Youlian's confession, her case clearly involved manslaughter. Liao Chaoyong attempted to commit intentional homicide, and she had no choice but to resist in self-defense."
Zhu Feipeng shook his head and sighed: "Alas, she is ignorant of the law. If she had called the police immediately after she killed Liao Chaoyong with a brick and preserved the scene, she might have been acquitted."
Zhu Kang added: "Yes. In this case, there must be only Liao Chaoyong's fingerprints on the knife. The dragging marks at the scene are clear. By comparing the scars and wounds, it is easy to reconstruct the entire case. I don't know what the court will rule in the end, but the charge of manslaughter can at least keep Gui Youlian alive."
Huang Yuande said, "But Gui Youlian not only killed someone, she also smashed her face with a brick, stripped her clothes, threw her body into a well, and covered it with sand and gravel. After all these actions, who can believe that she acted in self-defense? This completely meets the characteristics of intentional homicide."
Hearing this, Liu Liangju was also a little frustrated. Even if he wanted to help Gui Youlian, he was somewhat helpless.
Zhao Xiangwan stood up and said, "First, we need to determine whether Gui Youlian lied about the details."
Zhu Feipeng shook his head: "I think he didn't lie."
Gao Guangqiang also sighed: "She did intend to conceal the truth before, but after she confessed, the details all matched, so she probably didn't lie."
Zhao Xiangwan certainly knew that Gui Youlian did not lie, but where was the evidence?
——You shouldn’t be lying?
When the prosecution brought the case, the word "should" was not mentioned.
Zhao Xiangwan took out the photos of the two knives, walked forward, and pasted the photos on the blackboard: "Who can prove that these two knives were placed in the garbage dump management room by Liao Chaoyong in advance, and not prepared by Gui Youlian?"
This……
Zhu Kang frowned and said, "There are two people's fingerprints on the knife. Xiang Wan, according to your idea, it is indeed possible that Gui Youlian prepared the knife in advance, intending to kill and dismember the body. But later, for some reason, he changed his mind and threw the body directly into the well."
Zhu Feipeng was not convinced and started to protest: "It doesn't make sense. If Gui Youlian had prepared the knife in advance, then when did she buy it? Why did she take the clothes home after killing someone, but discarded such an important knife in the garbage dump? This just proves that the knife was not Gui Youlian's."
Zhu Kang shook his head: "Maybe Gui Youlian just prepared the knife for safety? She doesn't have much rules when it comes to her actions..."
Zhu Feipeng sneered, "Your words don't make sense. How can you tell that there is not much order? Besides, would someone without rules prepare a knife in the management office in advance? If she had prepared a knife, why didn't she just stab him with the knife, but used a brick? If she prepared the knife, why is there Liao Chaoyong's fingerprint on it?"
Ai Hui suddenly had an idea: "Is it possible that Gui Youlian heard her husband say that he was going to trade stolen goods at night and was a little scared. She was familiar with the environment and knew that no one usually went to the garbage dump, so she went there in advance while no one was paying attention and put two knives in the drawer, thinking that she could help if a fight broke out. Later, after entering the management office, she realized that her husband wanted to kill her, so she took the initiative and took out one of the knives, but Liao Chao took the knife and tried to kill her. During the fight, she picked up a brick and killed him."
Huang Yuande's thoughts were more divergent: "There is another possibility. Gui Youlian lied from the beginning to the end. The person who agreed to meet at the garbage dump at night was not Liao Chaoyong, but Gui Youlian. Gui Youlian had suffered domestic violence for a long time and held a grudge in her heart. In addition, she was unwilling to hand Zhuzhu to Liao Chaoyong, so she decided to kill him. Once Liao Chaoyong died, she could naturally take over his business, and there would be no problem raising her daughter."
Even Gao Guangqiang nodded and said, "Indeed, Gui Youlian has a motive to kill people."
Zhao Xiangwan knew that once he raised questions, many of Gui Youlian's words would not stand up to scrutiny.
Not only will the investigators have this dispute, the onlookers will also have doubts.
After hearing this, Zhao Xiangwan took a piece of chalk and wrote two words on the blackboard.
——evidence.
"From her micro-expressions, I can be sure that Gui Youlian did not lie. But this is just my judgment. If we want the court to determine that Gui Youlian acted in self-defense, we must produce evidence."
When Zhao Xiangwan said that she believed in Gui Youlian, she immediately stopped thinking. In the four years they had been together, Zhao Xiangwan had proved countless times that she was right. Whether it was micro-expression behavior or female intuition, Zhao Xiangwan's criminal investigation direction had never been wrong.
Everyone chose to trust Zhao Xiangwan at the first opportunity and began to think about how to prove the correctness of Gui Youlian's confession.

Zhu Feipeng said, "It's not easy to prove that what Gui Youlian said is true. There are many loopholes in our casual discussion just now. First, she had a bad relationship with the victim and they often quarreled. She had a motive to kill. Second, why did she follow Liao Chaoyong into the garbage dump at night without any precautions? Third, she was obviously defending herself, why didn't she call the police, but dumped the body? Why did she throw away the knife?"
There are too many abnormalities. Based solely on Gui Youlian's confession, I'm afraid the court will not consider the self-defense factor.
Zhao Xiangwan looked at Zhu Feipeng with approval: "Brother Zhu is right! So we have to find new evidence."
Zhu Feipeng narrowed his eyes: "Where to find it? Do you have an idea?"
Zhao Xiangwan said: "Gui Youlian's evidence is basically complete. If we want to find new evidence, we can only start from Liao Chaoyong."
Zhu Feipeng was always the one who responded the fastest: "Jiao Lili?"
Zhao Xiangwan smiled: "Yes."
Zhu Kang slammed the table and said, "Yes, we have been investigating Guiyoulian these days, but we missed this important witness. Jiao Lili was Liao Chaoyong's lover and business partner. Liao Chaoyong has been dead for such a long time, why haven't we heard any news about her?"
Gao Guangqiang stood up and said, "What are you waiting for? Let's go!"
Everyone stood up together and assigned tasks as they walked.
Gao Guangqiang is responsible for communicating with police officers from the local police station.
Zhu Feipeng, Zhao Xiangwan and Liu Liangju met with Jiao Lili.
Zhu Kang, Ai Hui, and Huang Yuande went to the building materials city to investigate and learn about Liao Chaoyong's personality. They also asked nearby knife shops to see if he had purchased any knives recently.
Judging from the shape and age of the knife, it should be a brand new knife that has never been used. If this evidence can be found, it can prove Liao Chaoyong's murder and disprove Gui Youlian's self-defense behavior.
Xingshi Building Materials City is located in the west of Xingshi, which is the old city area with prosperous business.
As soon as you enter the building materials city, you can see trucks, vans, and carts coming and going among the crowd. Some of the storefronts are large with spacious parking lots in front of them, while some are smaller but also have a concrete area to park the carts.
In a word, it's very lively here.
After finding Jiao Lili's storefront and looking at the store name hanging above it, Zhao Xiangwan and Zhu Feipeng exchanged a glance and exclaimed "Tsk!" at the same time.
——Red Heart Pipe Wholesale Store.
Red heart? Black heart is more like it. He was so cruel to his childhood sweetheart. It was not enough to prepare a sharp knife, but also a bone-cutting knife. It was like he was going to cut her into pieces.
Inside the store, sat a middle-aged woman with long, wavy shoulder-length hair, drawn eyebrows and lipstick.
Zhu Feipeng walked in: "Jiao Lili?"
The middle-aged woman had a lot of powder on her face, which fell off when she spoke. It was obvious that she was a woman trying hard to fight against time and wanted to retain her youth and beauty.
When she saw the handsome Zhu Feipeng, her eyes lit up: "Oh, this gentleman has never been here before? What do you want to buy?"
Zhu Feipeng showed his police ID and said expressionlessly: "Hello, we would like to ask you a few questions."
Seeing the police ID, Jiao Lili's pupils shrank and she was obviously a little flustered. She looked around and said, "You, you are all police officers? Why are you not wearing uniforms?"
【Why did the police come here? 】
[Did Xiao Liao's incident get out? ]
[He said he would come back after dealing with that yellow-faced woman, but he was gone for ten days. Damn it! All men are unreliable.]
Zhao Xiangwan listened carefully to every word that came out of Jiao Lili's heart, afraid of missing any details.
——Jiao Lili knew that Liao Chaoyong had committed murder.
——Jiao Lili didn't know that he had been counterattacked.
Zhu Feipeng opened the bag and prepared to take out the photos of Liao Chaoyong's body for her to identify.
Zhao Xiangwan quickly stepped forward, held down his hand, and stopped his actions with his eyes.
Zhu Feipeng was stunned for a moment, but he reacted quickly and immediately put the photo back and took the bag in his hand.
Zhao Xiangwan looked at Jiao Lili and asked, "You are living with Liao Chaoyong, right?"
Jiao Lili raised her eyebrows frivolously and glanced at her: "Why? The police control everything, why do they have to control who I sleep with?"
Zhu Feipeng said coldly: "Be serious!"
Zhao Xiangwan asked, "Gui Youlian called the police and said that you and her husband were living together illegally. Is that true?"
Jiao Lili's face suddenly turned red: "Damn it, that yellow-faced woman dared to call the police? This couple teamed up to bully people, right? How could I live with him? Who can prove it?"
Zhao Xiangwan said calmly: "Of course someone has proved it, otherwise why would we come here?"
