Chapter 24: The Viper Murder Case (3) Respiratory Alkali Poisoning...
After lunch, Sang Luo and Ling'er began to investigate the financial situation of the victim's family. They did not find any cash in He Taohua's house, only a passbook with 400 yuan in it. According to Nie Yu, this was all the savings of their family.
Sang Luo was a little surprised. As a bank employee, Nie Yu's monthly income was 200 yuan. Their family lived frugally, so it was impossible for them to save only such a small amount of money. However, after checking, they only found this one passbook.
"It's normal. Think about it, they have lent so much money to others, so they must not have much left," Xie Ling'er didn't find it strange. "People like this are just foolish and generous. They spend all their money on others, and then they are dumbfounded when they need to spend money themselves."
Sang Luo made note of this doubt and took Ling'er to Nie Yu's workplace. He searched his office carefully and unexpectedly found a brown paper bag among a bunch of bank documents. In the bag was a house purchase contract. The signer was Nie Yu. The house he bought was located near the bank. The price was 500 yuan per square meter. He bought a 100-square-meter house, and the total price was 50,000 yuan.
"Nie Yu bought a house?" Sang Luo narrowed his eyes. "With only 400 yuan in savings at home, he actually dared to buy a house worth 50,000 yuan?"
"Sang Luo, look at this!" Xie Ling'er screamed. Sang Luo leaned over and saw that Xie Ling'er was holding two documents in her hand. These were two accident insurance policies, one for He Taohua and the other for Nie Yaoyao.
Sang Luo's heart skipped a beat. This was almost confirmed. Nie Yu had a 100% motive to kill, and all the previous doubts were solved. Why did Nie Yu dare to buy a house even though he had no savings? Because he was waiting for the insurance money to arrive. As long as he killed his wife and daughter and disguised everything as an accident, he could get compensation from the insurance company.
Sang Luo once again recalled Nie Yu’s strange behavior when catching the snake. He tried to crush the snake to pieces in order to disguise everything as an accident!
Now that I think about it, this case was classified as an intentional poisoning case, thanks to the old professor's ability to identify the species of the snake. If the species of the snake was difficult to distinguish, he might have been able to get away with it this time.
With this insurance policy, Nie Yu became a major suspect in the crime. Sang Luo did not hesitate and decided to arrest Nie Yu immediately and bring him back to the police station for interrogation.
It happened that Nie Yu was also in the bank at this moment. He had just submitted his resignation report to his leader. With what happened at home, he really couldn't continue working. His leader understood his feelings and did not process his resignation. Instead, he gave him a long vacation so that he could have a good rest.
After leaving the leadership office, Nie Yu was immediately handcuffed by Sang Luo. His eyes were red and swollen, and his expression was dull. He did not react to Sang Luo's actions for a while. After a long time, he said: "Comrade police, what are you doing?"
Sang Luo said coldly: "You are suspected of murdering your wife He Taohua and daughter Nie Yaoyao. Come back to the bureau with me."
Nie Yu collapsed immediately, jumping up and down and saying, "You actually suspected that I would kill them? You are talking nonsense! If I could choose me, I would rather be the one to die!"
"If you have anything to say, let's go back to the bureau."
Sang Luo didn't say much and took Nie Yu to the police car. Xie Ling'er stayed and asked her colleagues about their impression of Nie Yu, whether he had an extramarital affair, etc., and her colleagues all said no.
"Nie Yu is a good guy, hardworking and devoted to his wife. He would never mess around with other men and women. Even if my husband cheated on me, he would never cheat on me!"
"Police comrade, I think you really arrested the wrong person. How could Nie Yu kill his wife? He is a person who would not even step on an ant to death. Before, the puppy raised by the security guard of our unit fell ill and died, and he cried bitterly because of it."
"Also, Nie Yu is a man who has no shortage of girls chasing after him, but he is very chaste. He usually works at the window, and he is handsome and young, so there are always girls who come to ask about him. Some even offer themselves to him even though they know he has a wife, but he rejects them all!"
After writing all this down, Xie Ling'er drove back to the police station with Sang Luo. Sang Luo took Nie Yu to the interrogation room and went to the water room to get a cup of water. While getting water, Xie Ling'er also followed him to the water room and told Sang Luo what she had just asked about. Sang Luo couldn't help but sneer in his heart -
A loving, good man and a harmonious family, this was more in line with her stereotype of a wife-murder case.
After preparing paper and pen, Sang Luo officially began to interrogate Nie Yu. As soon as Nie Yu sat in the interrogation room, he burst into tears. Sang Luo waited for him for a long time before he spoke:
"You actually suspected that I killed my wife. This is a great insult to me!"
"If it's not you, then please explain this," Sang Luo took out the house purchase contract and slapped it on the table, "You bought a 100-square-meter house in Xingfu Community not long ago. There is only your signature on it, not your wife's. You bought it secretly without her knowledge, right?"
"No!" Nie Yu immediately began to protest, "My wife knows about it. I discussed it with her and we unanimously decided to buy it!"
"Then why is there only your signature on it?" Sang Luo asked.
Nie Yu said excitedly: "Do you even need to ask? Of course it's because my wife is taking care of the kids and she can't leave, so I was the only one who went to sign the contract!"
Sang Luo: "Since your wife knew about this, why didn't you dare to leave this house purchase contract at home, but hid it in your workplace?"
"Because our house is too run-down. The house we rent now leaks when it rains," Nie Yu said, slapping the table. "How dare I keep such an important document at home? What if it gets soaked by water?"
"Then, the same applies to these two insurance policies?" Sang Luo took out two insurance policies. "You bought accident insurance for your wife and daughter. If they die accidentally, you can get a total of 100,000 yuan in insurance money. Mr. Nie, this is a lot of money. It should be more than enough to pay off your mortgage, right?"
Nie Yu's face turned red with anger: "Do you think I would kill my wife and children for that little money? How is that possible?! They are my life. If they can survive, I am willing to die!"
Sang Luo had to change the question: "If you didn't want the insurance money, then what were you thinking when you bought the house? How did you plan to pay the down payment?"
"Don't mention it. It makes me angry when I mention it," Nie Yu shook his head in disappointment. "I originally planned to pay 10,000 yuan as a down payment and take out a loan for the remaining 40,000 yuan, and then pay it back slowly in the future. That's what is written in the contract. The reason I had the confidence to sign this contract was because I planned to collect the debt."
"When I first got married, my parents gave me a sum of money, which I have lent out over the past two years. My neighbors, colleagues, and relatives have all borrowed money from me. I roughly calculated that the total amount of money I have lent out is more than 10,000 yuan. As long as I can get most of the money back, there is still hope for me to pay the down payment."
"But when I asked them for money, they all changed their faces. They were no longer the same people who came to ask me for money. Some of them said they had no money, and some even ignored my calls. When I went to their homes, they hid at home and refused to open the door. Oh, it's all my fault for being too soft-hearted. If I had known this would happen, I would not have lent them the money!"
money--
Sang Luo was shaken. Although she mainly suspected Nie Yu, those who owed money were also suspicious. They were unwilling to pay back the money and might kill someone for it. So she asked:
"How much do each of these people owe you? Who owes you the most?"
Nie Yu took out a few pieces of paper from his pocket: "I have a record here. You see, most of them are tens of yuan, and there are also hundreds of yuan. I really didn't think about it when I borrowed them. I just wanted to learn from Lei Feng's good example and help others when I have the ability. People will naturally pay me back after they get through the difficulties. Who would have thought..."
Sang Luo took the papers and took a quick look. She actually saw Fu Ainong's name on them. He also wrote "619 yuan" behind him. This was the largest amount of money owed. She immediately asked:
"What's going on? You lent so much money to Fu Ainong next door?"
Nie Yu sighed, "It's a long story. I didn't want to lend it to him, but the situation was special. It was late at night, and my family was lying in the bedroom getting ready to go to bed. Suddenly, I heard a thump at the door, as if something had fallen. I hurried out to see, and I saw the old man lying at the door of our house."
"He said the roof was leaking and he wanted to go up to fix it himself, but he lost his balance and fell down. His condition was very serious, his left leg was broken, and there was a large pool of blood on the ground. My wife was scared. In such a situation, I couldn't just stand by and watch him die, right?"
"So I got dressed, borrowed a car from a neighbor, and took him to the hospital. The doctor wanted to perform surgery on him, and he needed to pay the surgery fee first. The 619 yuan was the surgery fee I paid for him. After the surgery, he rested for a while, and gradually he was able to walk again. I mentioned the money to him, but he was a scoundrel and ignored me."
"By the way, speaking of Fu Ainong," Sang Luo suddenly remembered, "this guy is sloppy and has a criminal record. Why don't you move away when you have such a weird neighbor?"
"I'm moving out!" Nie Yu pointed at the purchase contract on the table. "It's because my neighbors are so bad that I decided to buy an apartment. The sound insulation in an apartment is better. We were the only two living here before, and the rent is cheap. We tolerated the bad neighbors, but now that we have a child, I'm afraid they will have a bad influence on the child, so I must move out!"
This made sense. Sang Luo nodded secretly and pointed at the insurance policy and asked, "What's the matter with those two policies?"
Nie Yu wanted to cry but had no tears: "This-this is not what I want to buy at all. My relatives forced me to buy it! I am not well-off to begin with, how can I afford this? But at that time, my third aunt was a salesperson in an insurance company. She said that the company forced her to sell ten orders a month, otherwise she would be fired!"
"She didn't have a diploma, and she had finally found a job. She couldn't let it go. She was in tears and almost knelt down to me. In order to help her complete her performance, I bought insurance for our family of three. My wife kept my insurance policy close to her so that if I had any accident, she would be able to take care of me."
Sang Luo nodded to show his understanding. What he said did exist. No matter what era it was, insurance company salesmen would first issue bills through their acquaintances.
Sang Luo asked: "Can you prove what you just said?"
Nie Yu nodded repeatedly: "Of course! I'll call my third aunt right now, you guys listen, I'll put it on speakerphone!"
Sang Luo handed him his cell phone. He found the name in the address book and dialed the number. The call was quickly connected. There was a loud woman on the other end:
"Hello? Nephew, what do you want from me?"
Nie Yu said as if grasping a life-saving straw: "Third aunt, I am at the Public Security Bureau now. Taohua and Yaoyao are dead. The police suspect that I did it. They asked me what happened to those insurance policies. Come and testify for me. You work at an insurance company, and I bought those insurance policies to help you!"
Upon hearing this, the woman on the other end of the phone suddenly changed her expression: "What? You were arrested? Don't ask me, I don't know anything. I have nothing to do with this matter. I don't know anything about the Public Security Bureau or the insurance company. It's your own business. Don't involve me!"
Nie Yu wanted to say something, but there was a "beep, beep, beep" sound from the other end of the line, and his third aunt hung up.
After hanging up the phone, Nie Yu became extremely excited and his face began to turn pale. Before Sang Luo could ask the next question, his hands and feet began to twitch and his body slid down from the chair softly, which scared both of them.
Sang Luo and Xie Ling'er hurriedly stood up from their seats, one on each side helping him up. His hands and feet were still twitching, and he seemed unable to speak. Xie Ling'er asked anxiously, "Do you have epilepsy? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Nie Yu twitched while trying to say, "I, I didn't! It's all because of her!"
"It's most likely respiratory alkali poisoning. Stop talking and send him to the hospital first!" Sang Luo quickly called the emergency number and the ambulance soon arrived at the door of the Public Security Bureau. Several people worked together to carry Nie Yu onto the ambulance.
Since Yuan Xiaohu is a male, it is easier to take care of him, so Yuan Xiaohu got on the ambulance and went to the hospital together, while Xie Ling'er and Sang Luo stayed behind.
Looking at the ambulance going away, Xie Ling'er shook her head and sighed, "It's true that good people are bullied. A good person has fallen to this point."
"Is he really suffering from respiratory alkali poisoning, or is he pretending to be sick?" Sang Luo couldn't help but mutter. You know, many murderers are also good actors and will use various methods to avoid interrogation.
Xie Ling'er was very surprised: "How could he be pretending? We were all beside him just now, and his face was so pale, and he almost passed out. Could it be that he can even control his own physiological state?"
Sang Luo sighed and admitted that it was not easy to pretend to have respiratory alkali poisoning.
Xie Ling'er took the accounting papers and said affirmatively: "As expected, the old ones are the wisest. Master is right. Now I also support Xiaohu's idea. This is most likely a murder for money. Great kindness can be like great hatred. The person who lent Nie Yu the most money is also the one who hates him the most. Therefore, the murderer in this case is most likely the weird old man next door!"
"Nie Yu was in a hurry to buy a house, so he went to collect the debt. The old man didn't want to pay back the money, so he simply threw a snake next door, hoping to kill him and put an end to it!"
Sang Luo was also a little shaken. She was sure that the murderer was Nie Yu. However, from the interrogation just now, she knew that Nie Yu was just a young man who lacked understanding of society. His ideas were naive and childish. He had been borrowed a lot of money from others. He could be called a pushover. Most importantly,
He would not quarrel with others, and would suffer from respiratory alkali poisoning when excited. This does not fit the characteristics of a murderer. A murderer who could kill his wife and daughter should have a very calm mentality.
