Chapter 270: Donghai Community Case Solved
On top of the wardrobe in the master bedroom of Huang Jianhui's house, Shi Tao found a cardboard box filled with miscellaneous items. At the bottom, there was a plastic bag containing a dark blue sweater.
Shi Tao realized that this was most likely the blood-stained sweater that Tang Xue mentioned, otherwise which kind person would hide a sweater like this.
After putting it in the evidence bag, she showed it to Gu Hong. Gu Hong immediately said that this was the sweater she bought for Huang Jianhui on his birthday two years ago, but she couldn't find it later. She asked Huang Jianhui, but he didn't know where it went.
Shi Tao immediately had it sent back for examination, because it was the key evidence that could prove Huang Jianhui had committed murder.
Then, Shi Tao and his team found 20,000 yuan in cash and a bank passbook that were obviously hidden in Huang Jianhui's home. There was actually more than 100,000 yuan in the passbook.
Gu Hong was completely unaware of the money and said that Huang Jianhui usually gave her his salary passbook, so where did he get so much money?
In 1997, a public official's private money of hundreds of thousands of yuan could no longer be called private money, but rather a crime of possessing a huge amount of property of unknown origin.
It is obvious that Huang Jianhui has repeatedly abused his position to commit corruption.
Shi Tao led his men to conduct another thorough search, including the car Huang Jianhui was driving. No property ownership certificates or keys of unknown use were found, suggesting that no property had been purchased.
He Bin then went to the Forestry Bureau, presented his ID and search warrant, and searched Huang Jianhui's office. Of course, it was called an office, but it was actually the office of the Forestry Reform Section, as the deputy section chief didn't have his own office.
In a drawer of his desk, he found a black and gold card sandwiched between a notebook. There was no text information on the card, but He Bin determined from the texture of the card that it was not an ordinary card, so he took it back as evidence.
Zhou Yi felt that the card looked familiar. He picked it up and saw that the front of the black card had the word "VIP" written in gold font.
Turn it over, and on the back is a golden phoenix with its wings spread.
"Golden Phoenix Nightclub?!" Zhou Yi couldn't help but say.
Not long ago, when he went to the Golden Phoenix Nightclub to investigate, Manager Hou prepared a box of exquisite tea for him. He glanced at it at the time and saw a black card in the box.
He thought at the time that this was the bank card used by the other party to bribe.
But now it seems that it is this VIP membership card.
Is a small deputy section chief of the Forest Reform Section of the Forestry Bureau also a guest of honor at the Golden Phoenix Nightclub?
He Bin asked, "Is this a membership card for the Golden Phoenix Nightclub? Should we then interrogate Huang Jianhui? Perhaps some of the money he embezzled was used there."
Zhou Yi immediately remembered what Wu Yongcheng had said to him before. Now they were afraid that they could not touch Jiang Zhengdao.
He was about to speak when Shi Tao spoke first with a serious expression: "Let's put this matter aside for now. Our duty is to investigate murder cases. As for corruption and bribery, there are anti-corruption authorities. Why should we worry about it?"
Zhou Yi understood that Shi Tao probably knew something about the Golden Phoenix Nightclub and the boss behind it, Jiang Zhengdao. After all, he was in charge of anti-gangsterism, and he knew more about some of the forces on the ground than Wu Yongcheng.
He Bin nodded, and then talked about another gain from going to the Forestry Bureau.
After searching Huang Jianhui's office, they contacted Huang Jianhui's leader to learn about his usual personality and work situation, focusing on confirming his itinerary on March 1st.
His leader said that they had originally planned a dinner party on March 1st, which he, Huang Jianhui, and another colleague would attend.
Just as he was about to leave, Huang Jianhui received a phone call. His face looked extremely nervous. Then he said that an elderly person in his family was injured and he had to rush back home.
When encountering such a thing, naturally no one would stop him from leaving.
On Monday, the leader still asked him about his family affairs with concern.
This indirectly confirms the time when Huang Jianhui committed the crime.
After completing the investigation, He Bin gathered his team and prepared to leave.
Just as he was about to get in the car, a girl wearing glasses suddenly came out from the Forestry Bureau and asked He Bin if the police had arrested Huang Jianhui.
Although the police came to the door with a search warrant, any fool would know that Huang Jianhui must have been arrested, but it was impossible to confirm this information from He Bin and others. This was due to the confidentiality of the case. The leader had tried to test He Bin indirectly, but He Bin said nothing.
Logically speaking, He Bin couldn't tell the girl if she asked.
But He Bin immediately realized that something was wrong and asked her if anything was wrong.
The girl said that if Huang Jianhui had been arrested by them, then she would say so, and if not, then she would pretend that she had not asked anything.
He Bin was 100% sure that there was something wrong.
So he nodded and said, "That's right. Huang Jianhui is suspected of being involved in a major criminal case and has been taken into custody by our public security organs. If you have any clues to share, we would welcome them."
The girl gritted her teeth and mustered up the courage to say, "Comrade police officer, I want to report Huang Jianhui. He...he raped me."
He Bin and his colleagues were shocked by the girl's words.
So I returned to the Forestry Bureau, requisitioned one of their conference rooms, and took notes on the spot to understand the situation.
The girl said her name was Liu Jingjing and she had just graduated from university last year and was admitted to the Forestry Bureau.
After joining the Forestry Bureau, she was assigned to the Forestry Reform Section, and her immediate superior was Huang Jianhui.
At first, she had a good impression of Huang Jianhui. He was tall, handsome, and elegant. He always mentioned his wife and children, and he looked like a good family man.
I also take good care of her at work.
During the first few months after joining the Forestry Bureau, everything went smoothly. At most, Huang Jianhui would sometimes joke with her.
Until a big project required them to go on a business trip out of town for a period of time, Huang Jianhui specifically asked to take her with him, under the pretext of giving newcomers in the department an opportunity to train.
She was quite grateful for this, but she didn't realize that she had fallen into Huang Jianhui's trap.
In the second month after she went on a business trip, Huang Jianhui took her to a dinner party, saying that it was a treat from a group of local friends. Those present were either big bosses or leaders, who would be helpful in her future work.
Then she encountered the drinking culture. A group of old men at the table tried various ways to get her to drink. She refused many times, and Huang Jianhui scolded her for not giving face to the leaders and bosses present, saying that it was shameful to bring her out.
Finally, under coercion and inducement, Liu Jingjing was forced to drink. Once she started drinking, she was forced to drink one glass after another until she lost consciousness.
When she woke up the next day, she found herself with a splitting headache, lying naked on the hotel bed, with Huang Jianhui lying next to her, also naked.
She burst into tears and was about to call the police, but was stopped by Huang Jianhui. Huang Jianhui said that they both drank too much last night and did that thing in a daze. Even if she called the police, it would be useless because they had sex after drinking and it was voluntary. Everyone who drank yesterday could prove that they were both drunk.
She is a man and she is not afraid, but once the police are called, her reputation will be ruined as a girl who doesn't even have a boyfriend. How will she live her life in the future?
He Bin could see that Liu Jingjing was a young girl who was not very worldly-wise, and she said that she had never had a boyfriend before, so she was definitely no match for Huang Jianhui.
Therefore, I was intimidated by the other party and did not call the police.
Moreover, Huang Jianhui swore to her at that time that this matter was known to heaven, earth, you, and me, and no third person would know about it. It was an accident after being drunk, and the two of them pretended that nothing had happened.
She said she naively thought that this matter would just pass.
As a result, less than a week later, one night Huang Jianhui suddenly knocked on her door, and after entering the room, he began to touch her and take off her clothes.
She was so scared that she screamed for help, but Huang Jianhui pressed her to the ground and covered her mouth.
Huang Jianhui told her that since they had already slept together, she might as well be his secret lover.
She struggled desperately, but Huang Jianhui told her that if she didn't obey him today, he would tell everyone that it was she who seduced him that day, and not only would she be ruined, but she would also be fired from the Forestry Bureau.
Under Huang Jianhui's various soft and hard tactics, coercion and inducement, Liu Jingjing had no choice but to succumb to his tyranny.
The next month or so was a nightmare for Liu Jingjing, as she became Huang Jianhui's tool for satisfying his sexual desires.
Until the project was completed, they returned to Hongcheng.
Liu Jingjing said that she didn't know what to do at that time. She wanted to call the police, but she could not muster up the courage.
The strange thing was that after Huang Jianhui returned to Hongcheng, he never contacted me again.
How could she know that after Huang Jianhui returned to Hongcheng, he found out that Tang Xue was pregnant, and it was too late to have an abortion at that time. Huang Jianhui's mind was full of this matter at the time, so he had no time to look for her.
Just recently, around last week, Huang Jianhui suddenly asked her out for dinner.
Although she found an excuse that she had something to do at home to avoid it, the horrible nightmare-like memories came back to her mind again.
It wasn't until today, when the police came to search her workplace, that she finally mustered up the courage.
After He Bin showed everyone Liu Jingjing's transcript, Zhou Yi angrily slammed the table and said, "Damn it! I knew this guy was a repeat offender! He acted like a first-time offender during the interrogation and even tried to get a light sentence. This time, he's in for a real fight!"
Shi Tao said to He Bin, "Contact their colleagues in the city where they're on business and ask them to find the people who were at the dinner table the day Liu Jingjing was forced to drink and record their statements."
The reason why Shi Tao said this is because Liu Jingjing's case occurred in a different place, but the case was filed locally, so cross-regional collaboration between the two places was required.
Soon, the inspection report of the sweater that Shi Tao had sent back in advance came out.
The technical department extracted blood residues from many sweater fibers and has prepared test samples. They will be sent to the provincial capital together with the blood samples of Huang Jianhui and his son extracted today.
Although DNA testing and judicial procedures still require time, it is still too early to officially close the case.
But the murderer has been brought to justice, the confessions of those involved in the case have been completed, and important evidence has been found. Once the DNA test results come out, the chain of evidence in the entire case will be completely complete.
For Zhou Yi and his team, the investigation of the case can be said to have been completed successfully.
As for the issue of Huang Jianhui’s corruption, that is another matter and has little to do with him anyway.
Zhou Yi decided to first report to Wu Yongcheng the good news that the case had been solved.
Back in the office of the Third Brigade, Zhou Yi planned to call Wu Yongcheng on the landline.
Although the cell phone was donated by Qian Hongxing and didn't cost anything, the bureau still had to pay for the phone bill. Mobile phone calls were much more expensive than landlines these days, so the cell phone was best used when handling cases. After all, Zhou Yi came from an ordinary family, and thriftiness was ingrained in him.
He was just about to reach for the phone on the table when it suddenly rang.
"Hello, this is the Third Brigade. Who is this?"
A familiar voice on the other end of the phone said, "Is that Zhou Yi?"
