Chapter 4 Suspect
Sun Xianbing glanced at Yue Yuan and cautiously suggested, "How about checking the cleaners in the hotels and companies in the area?"
Gong Weiguo quickly took over his words: "We checked everything and found nothing abnormal."
When Xia Mufan heard this, his eyes dimmed.
There is no problem with the cleaners in hotels and companies, but the clue about the sanitation garbage bags is gone?
Yue Yuan and Gong Weiguo came here together. Is it because they hit a wall when following the clue of the garbage bag, so they hope to get useful clues from the police station?
Xia Mufan looked at Wei Yong, hoping to see some clues from his eyes.
Wei Yong noticed Xia Mufan's gaze. He wanted to train the three young men in the police station's case team, so he encouraged them, "Xiao Yu, Xiao Sun, Xiao Xia, we followed the garbage bag and found no suspects. What do you think of this?"
What do we think? The people from the serious crime squad are sitting here. They have already analyzed the case, and even they are helpless. Why are they asking for our opinions at this time?
Sun Xianbing and Yu Jing looked at Yue Yuan's gloomy face at the same time. Feeling heavy psychological pressure, they closed their lips tightly and dared not speak.
Xia Mufan, however, showed no fear of authority. He turned his gaze towards Yue Yuan, his voice clear and steady.
"Our police station is in the alley on the east side of Anning Road, and Huajiao Alley is in the alley on the west side of Anning Road, about 500 meters away. On dark nights or early mornings, the police station sign is lit and hung at the entrance of the alley. The murderer dared to walk on the main road and dump the body so openly. If he is not ignorant and fearless, then he is fearless. Therefore, I still stick to my initial guess: the murderer is a sanitation worker."
After a pause, Xia Mufan's eyes lit up: "Or, he disguised himself as a sanitation worker!"
As soon as these words came out, Yue Yuan's eyebrows moved.
Gong Weiguo took the initiative to ask: "How to disguise?"
Xia Mufan stretched out his right hand, chopped it in the air excitedly, and then closed his fist and said, "That's right! The murderer might have been a sanitation worker, or he might be a relative of a sanitation worker. He could get a yellow vest and a garbage bag, and ride a tricycle on the road. Anyone would think he was a sanitation worker. Who would suspect him? Even if the police saw him, they would not question his behavior of throwing garbage."
Sun Xianbing and Yu Jing looked at each other and their brains started working rapidly.
Sun Xianbing quickly thought of a person: "Zheng Wu, who retired from the Environmental Sanitation Bureau due to illness last year, I remember he came to the bureau to handle the formalities. I heard that he is now selling vegetables in the market, maybe he has a tricycle at home!"
Yu Jing also pulled out a person from his memory: "I remember there was a man named Huang, but I don't remember his name. Everyone called him Huang the Deaf. His father used to work at the Environmental Sanitation Bureau, but he passed away this year. He came to the bureau with the documents to cancel the transfer."
Yue Yuan stood up immediately: "Very good! Find the household registration information of these two people, and we will check these two people next."
Xia Mufan was not wrong, Yue Yuan did come to Wei Yong for help.
After a week of investigation into the Huajiao Lane dismemberment case, there is still no clue, and the pressure to solve the case is very high. The police officers at the police station are familiar with the situation in the jurisdiction, and Yue Yuan hopes to cooperate with Wei Yong to investigate the case together.
The public security system has a strict division of labor. Police stations are dispatched by municipal and county public security bureaus to manage public security work. They can only handle criminal cases with obvious causal relationships and simple case circumstances that occur within their jurisdiction. Major cases like dismemberment are handled by the city bureau's criminal investigation brigade, and the police station can only provide assistance at most.
Wei Yong agreed to cooperate, but made a request: Yue Yuan personally led the three young people in the case team.
Yue Yuan was originally not very willing to bring the police officers from the police station, but when he saw him today, he became interested in Xia Mufan's rare youthful spirit. Let’s look at Sun Xianbing and Yu Jing. Although they have little experience in handling cases, they are very proactive and familiar with the situation in their jurisdiction. Their participation is very helpful in solving the case.
In this way, Yue Yuan agreed to Wei Yong's request and took three people from the police station's case team to investigate the case together.
Zheng Wu's suspicion was quickly ruled out. He applied for medical retirement last year, sprained his waist last week, and has been bedridden ever since. It is impossible for him to kill someone, dismember him, and dump the body in five places.
Another suspect, Huang Zhiqiang, quickly came into the sight of the serious crime team.
Huang Zhiqiang is 24 years old and works in a meat processing factory. He is in good health, has a gentle and honest personality, and works hard. He always smiles when he meets people and is always willing to help when something happens, so his neighbors all like him very much.
When he was eight years old, he became deaf due to an injection caused by illness and became disabled. Fortunately, he was able to speak fluently even when he was deaf, so he could communicate with others by observing the mouth shapes and guessing.
When he was ten years old, his parents divorced and his mother followed a wealthy southern businessman and never came back to him again. This year, his father died of illness. He was heartbroken and cried for two days while holding his father's body.
Huang Zhiqiang is young and strong, works in a meat processing factory, and his father is a sanitation worker. These three points combined make him more suspicious.
If you work in a meat processing factory and then kill someone, you can dismember the body on the slaughtering line and then rinse it clean without anyone noticing. Although he has a good reputation and most people around him have sympathetic opinions about him, but... you can never know a person's true heart through his appearance. Who knows what his true side is like?
Yue Yuan said: "We don't have direct evidence, so let's start from the outside."
After that, he started calling people.
At once, everyone in the serious crime squad took action.
Finally, Yue Yuan looked at Xia Mufan and said, "The three of you follow me and contact the security department of the meat processing factory as community police officers. We will go to the unit to meet Huang Zhiqiang."
Finally having the chance to meet the suspect face to face, Xia Mufan perked up. He immediately stood up, raised his left hand to hold his right shoulder, and rotated his right hand along the shoulder joint: "Let's go!"
Sun Xianbing and Yu Jing also stood up and said, "Let's go."
Seeing these three young men eager to try, Yue Yuan understood why Wei Yong spoke up to fight for the opportunity for them to participate in the big case.
Huishi Meat Processing Plant is a meat processing plant that mainly slaughters live pigs.
As you enter the factory, you can smell a strange smell, which is a mixture of the stench of animal manure, blood, and rust.
Sitting in the Security Office on the first floor, Xia Mufan waited quietly.
The sunlight streamed into the room and she closed her eyes.
There are birds chirping outside the window.
[A lot of pigs were slaughtered, and the screams were horrible.] 】
[Killing chickens and ducks is just as scary.] 】
[Murder is even more terrifying.] 】
【kill? Do people kill people? 】
[Ah, the murderer is coming, run! 】
Heavy footsteps sounded in the corridor, and a big hand pushed open the wooden door of the office. A tall and strong man stood at the door with a kind look in his eyes. He was Huang Zhiqiang.
The murderer? Birds don't lie.
Xia Mufan turned around and faced Huang Zhiqiang, his eyes becoming sharp.
Seeing Yu Jing, Huang Zhiqiang grinned and made a strange laugh: "Hoho... Hello, police comrade!"
His tone of voice was also somewhat different, like that of a child who had just learned to speak.
Because of deafness caused by a medical accident when he was eight years old, Huang Zhiqiang's language ability gradually deteriorated.
The little birds know a lot, and the chirping outside the window becomes even more lively.
[I heard from the owl next door that there was a murder in the middle of the night. The woman was lying motionless on the chopping board, and kept saying "I am your mother, your mother". She looked so pitiful. 】
[The blood was washed away, the meat was chopped up, and no one knew. 】
[The head was too hard to chop off, so he took it home and hid it. 】
The evidence suddenly appeared in his ears, and Xia Mufan's eyes gradually became deep.
Now that she knows that the other party has killed someone, how can she guide the serious crime team to find evidence?
Huang Zhiqiang was wearing work clothes, an apron, and oversleeves, with some blood stains on the apron. He sat opposite Yu Jing somewhat awkwardly, smiling silently with a hint of flattery in his expression.
He lifted up his apron, took out a small notebook and a sharpened short pencil from his pocket and handed them to Yu Jing. He pointed to his ears and gestured: I can't hear you. If you have any questions, just write them down for me.
Yue Yuan observed his every move.
He is a deaf man, and because of his disability, the street office took care of him and arranged him to work in a meat processing factory. Both his colleagues and leaders said that he was honest and hardworking. He worked during the day and returned to the dormitory at night. He did not smoke or drink and had no bad habits. Would such a person kill and dismember someone?
Yu Jing asked him, "What were you doing on July 17 and 18?"
Huang Zhiqiang pointed to the workshop behind the office, made a few gestures, and then said, "Work, sleep."
Actually, Yue Yuan had already asked the office about this question. The meat processing plant starts work at 8 am every day and gets off work at 6 pm, with a two-hour break at noon. Huang Zhiqiang works in a slaughterhouse, where he is responsible for sorting the slaughtered pigs and then packaging them and keeping them fresh. There are six employees at one workbench. If Huang Zhiqiang kills someone and dismembers the body, how can he avoid the eyes of his colleagues?
Yue Yuan had a lot of questions in his mind, but Huang Zhiqiang couldn't hear, so communication with him was not smooth, which also increased the difficulty of the interrogation.
Qian Jing asked: "What time did you get up and go to bed these two days? Is there anyone who can prove it?"
Huang Zhiqiang continued to gesture: get up at seven o'clock, go to work at eight o'clock, eat at seven o'clock in the evening, and go to bed at eight o'clock. I have colleagues at work, but I am alone when I go home.
Since his father passed away, Huang Zhiqiang rented a house near the meat processing factory, living and eating alone, living a lonely and simple life.
Yu Jing asked a few more questions, and Huang Zhiqiang answered them seriously and with great effort. Yue Yuan didn't find any clues, so he could only say, "Yu Jing, it seems that we can't get anything out of you, let's withdraw first."
Xia Mufan kept staring at Huang Zhiqiang.
Seeing Yu Jing standing up and shaking hands with Huang Zhiqiang to say goodbye, Xia Mufan walked over from the window and approached Huang Zhiqiang quietly.
A beautiful face suddenly appeared in front of Huang Zhiqiang, scaring him so much that he took a half step back and made a gurgling sound in his throat.
Xia Mufan didn't even give him time to react: "Did you kill that person?"
There was innocence in Huang Zhiqiang's eyes. He opened his mouth blankly and pointed at his ears.
Xia Mufan stared into his eyes with sharp eyes: "Did she cry?"
Huang Zhiqiang's face was a little stiff.
Xia Mufan sneered: "Come, follow me and read out two words slowly."
She narrowed her eyes, a cold light flashed in them, she opened her mouth, and uttered two words slowly and exaggeratedly.
"Mother!"
In Huang Zhiqiang's silent world, these two words sounded like thunder.
Mom, what a warm and loving word.
But it pierced his heart as accurately as a bayonet.
Huang Zhiqiang's face was red, veins on his forehead were exposed, and his eyes were filled with anger. He shouted with all his might: "Get out! I don't have a mother!"
Because he was trying too hard, a whistling sound came from his throat, and his tone was urgent and fast.
Xia Mufan turned his head and looked at Yue Yuan.
Yue Yuan did not blame her for being reckless. He nodded slightly, motioning her to continue.
