Chapter 69 Finding Evidence
"Even if I can convince the leaders to re-investigate, the chances of finding the real culprit are slim."
"Brother, I know how difficult this is, but this matter is really too important to me."
Shen Zhiqiu talked about the connection between Li Guoshun's death and her mother Ye Yunshuang's death: "If there is any progress on Uncle Shunzi's side, whether Shen Daqiang is the murderer of Uncle Shunzi or not, with his personality, he will reveal his hand in my mother's matter."
"Zhiqiu, no matter what the outcome of this matter is, I will definitely help you."
Yue Mingli thought for a moment and then looked at Shen Zhiqiu: "If I get home early from get off work tomorrow, let's go to Li Guoshun's house in the evening. Also, can you see if your forensic friend can go back? I need to see her."
"Okay, thank you, brother."
Chen Zhiqiu quickly called Li Xing and told her about going home tomorrow, and Li Xing agreed.
Back in the bedroom, Shen Zhiqiu lay on the bed and recalled his childhood.
Ever since she could remember, her mother had always smelled of Chinese medicine, and every time her father came back, he would prescribe some medicine for her mother to take.
They had argued many times about this, and the content of each argument was similar.
She only remembered a few words: "can't have children", "son", "for your own good"...
After every quarrel, her mother would cry, then hold her in her arms, sobbing through her hair and telling her: "Qiuqiu, don't get married, don't have children, and especially don't... lose your job."
She didn't remember the situation very clearly, but she could roughly guess it from what Shen Daqiang said later.
Her mother had a good job because she was admitted to university, but her health deteriorated after giving birth to her, so the job fell to Shen Daqiang.
Instead of being grateful to her mother for this, Shen Daqiang took advantage of being the head of the family.
My second uncle also said that Shen Daqiang was a complete gigolo, and that was why he looked down on him.
Any man should have some backbone. If a man who lives off a woman can sell out his dignity, what can you expect him to care about? Such a man has no bottom line.
But her mother was blinded by Shen Daqiang's sweet words at that time and was determined to marry him.
When I finally saw what kind of person he was, it was too late.
[What is mom thinking? Why does she look so sad? 】
Hearing Yaya's voice, Shen Zhiqiu quickly got up, wiped away the tears from the corners of Yaya's eyes with her on his back, got out of bed, came to Yaya's crib, and picked her up.
"Yaya, are you awake? You didn't tell mom after you woke up, and just played by yourself? Are you hungry?"
Shen Zhiqiu kissed Yaya's little face. Yaya stretched out her little arms and gently stroked Shen Zhiqiu's eyes with her little hands, anxiously wiping away her tears: "Wow - wow -"
"Yaya, are you asking mommy to stop crying?" Shen Zhiqiu asked Yaya with a sour nose and choked up.
Yaya shook her little fist, her little face full of anxiety: "Wow——"
"Mom is fine."
Shen Zhiqiu leaned against Yaya's little face and whispered softly, "Mom, I just miss grandma."
[I miss my grandma too. It was because of her help that I was able to stay with my mom for such a long time. 】
In her previous life, she was in a soul state, and her grandma had been protecting her in secret.
Later, it was her grandmother's soul that was sent into the body of the calico cat that had just died, allowing her to continue living and return to her mother.
[Grandma said that it was the old witch who pushed her down and wanted to kill her and both of them. Fortunately, the neighbor's younger brother saw it. 】
[She originally thought that the scumbag grandfather had separated from the old witch, so she gave him the job, but she didn't know that he had been lying to her all along. 】
[When she later discovered that her scumbag grandfather and the old witch had tampered with her medicine, it was too late. However, she secretly left the prescription and the dregs of the medicine and asked her younger brother to help bury them under the old locust tree at the door. 】
[It's a pity that the younger brother was implicated by her. She and the younger brother are innocent, but the scumbag grandfather slandered them for having an affair and deliberately bullied the younger brother with his friends. 】
Shen Zhiqiu quickly wrote down this information, and the next day, he, Yue Mingli, and Li Xing dug out the prescription and medicine residue wrapped in oilcloth from under the big locust tree in front of her house.
"Zhi Qiu, you need to ask an old Chinese doctor about these things. They will know what's going on at a glance." Li Xing suggested.
Shen Zhiqiu immediately thought of Dong Hesong, and she rewrapped her things: "Xing'er, I'll go tomorrow."
They then went to Li Guoxiang's home, where Yue Mingli carefully inquired about Li Guoshun's situation, especially the details of the day he was found dead.
Because Li Guoshun is an apprentice, he needs to arrive at the workshop half an hour to an hour earlier than the regular workers to wipe the machines and clean the place.
This was a common practice. Li Guoxiang had also been an apprentice, so he understood it. However, that day Li Guoshun had left two hours earlier.
Li Guoxiang didn't care, but Old Lady Xu noticed it. She even asked Li Guoshun why he went there so early. But Li Guoshun didn't reply to her.
Later, someone found Li Guoshun dead in the workshop, having hit the back of his head on the machine tool.
When he died, many people had not yet come to work, and the factory security staff had no experience. They panicked when they saw someone was killed and did not know how to protect evidence at all. As a result, the crime scene was severely damaged, with many footprints and fingerprints, making it impossible to identify the source.
After the public security comrades took over, they could only conduct inquiries, but people were unaware of this.
In the end, Li Guoshun’s death could only be classified as an industrial accident.
As soon as he got to work today, Yue Mingli went to find the police officer from the police station who was in charge of investigating the Li Guoshun case at the time. The two had dealt with each other before.
The other party told him everything he knew and even showed him the case file from that time.
It contained a forensic report, in which Yue Mingli found some suspicious points.
Li Guoshun had bruises all over his body, especially on his wrists and thighs.
The brothers Liu Da and Liu Gui once raped and killed a girl. The bruises on the girl's body were very similar to those on Li Guoshun.
"Brother Li, you said that Shen Daqiang often bullies your brother, but do you know exactly how he bullies him?" Yue Mingli asked Li Guoxiang.
Li Guoxiang's eyes blazed with anger when he mentioned this: "He beats Shunzi! If Shunzi does something wrong, he beats him. Or he deliberately targets Shunzi and makes him do this or that."
"Generally, masters use these methods to teach their disciples, but that was in the past. In the new era, who would dare to fight? Shen Daqiang is nothing!"
"I thought we were neighbors, and I handed my brother over to him so he could take better care of him, but he actually had the guts to lay hands on my brother!"
"Sometimes he doesn't do it himself, but his cronies will help him!"
"Brother Li, who are these friends of Shen Daqiang that you are talking about?"
