Luo Chen knew she was going to investigate Liu Wei's case for five years, so he found all the files from that time in advance.
When Jiang Yilai arrived, he led the person to his office.
"The information you need is all on the table. I wasn't in charge of this case at the time; the person in charge before me was transferred to another police district."
"Thank you, Officer Luo. With this information, I can finally figure out what happened back then."
Luo Chen asked curiously, "The police won't reopen cases that have already been closed. It will be quite difficult for you to find clues on your own."
Jiang Yilai nodded helplessly, saying while looking at the information, "It is indeed this place, but I don't want anyone to be wronged, so I'll investigate thoroughly before speaking."
Luo Chen pointed to the documents and said, "There aren't many suspicious points in this case. The murderer didn't get along well with the villagers. On the day of the incident, he got into an argument with the victim's family and almost came to blows."
“I’ve heard about these things too, but he keeps writing letters to appeal, there must be something going on.”
“Some criminals are incorrigible, have a weak sense of law, do not believe they are guilty, and will keep appealing if they are not satisfied with the verdict.”
Considering Liu Wei's past trajectory, it is indeed hard to believe.
Jiang Yilai looked through the autopsy report and asked in surprise, "Pesticide residues were found in the stomachs of the deceased family?"
Luo Chen responded: "According to Liu Wei's confession, he was so angry that day that he threw a pesticide bottle into the well water in front of their door. Later, he felt really bad and ran over to try to explain."
Jiang Yilai had no idea that this person had harbored murderous intent all along, and that the consequences of doing so would be extremely serious.
She saw in the report that there was not much residue and it would not cause death, but only physical discomfort.
Luo Chen added, "Whether he felt guilty and wanted to explain, or whether he wanted to rush over to see if they were dead before finishing them off, it's hard to say."
Jiang Yilai nodded. From her perspective, she would also agree that Liu Wei was the murderer.
"Based on his statement, he saw them lying in pools of blood and tried to help them, which is the basis for your deduction."
“The police certainly wouldn’t convict someone without cause. He poisoned them first, and then rushed to check on them and found they weren’t dead, so it’s not impossible that he would then poison them as well.”
Jiang Yilai also felt a headache coming on, and frowned, saying, "He said that he was tortured into confessing to the murder."
"At the time, the case was handled by several retired police officers. With witnesses and physical evidence, it was reasonable to determine that he was the murderer."
Looking at the file in her hand, Jiang Yilai knew that Liu Wei's crime was a certainty.
"The witness was the village chief, and the incident happened in the evening, which is usually when everyone is having dinner. How could he have been there?"
"According to the statements at the time, he learned that the two had been arguing fiercely during the day, so he planned to visit both families to resolve their grievances. We also visited them, and the village chief does indeed do these things."
After hearing this, Jiang Yilai was somewhat discouraged. Looking at it this way, there really wasn't anything to overturn in the case.
Is Liu Wei really dissatisfied and that's why he wants to appeal?
She sighed and continued flipping through the information, but found nothing of value, so she decided to focus on the autopsy report as a breakthrough.
Her gaze quickly settled on a piece of text, and she handed the report to Luo Chen.
“Officer Luo, the report shows that the deceased had been fighting before his death, but I saw in the test results of the murderer that there were no wounds on his body. He couldn’t have beaten the couple by himself.”
