After listening to Ding Haoqiong's story, Xu Lang fell into deep thought.

Wang Hongzhen's murder looked like robbery and murder. However, the lost financial resources were not very large, and the total amount was less than 10,000 yuan. However, the on-site investigation results revealed a lot of doubts.

First, according to feedback from the family of the deceased, Wang Hongzhen made an appointment with Liu Mingxuan for a walk after dinner and watching the news. The places they used to go were parks and communities, but the crime scene was far away from where they lived.

It's far away, so why did Wang Hongzhen run to the beach in the middle of the night?

Second, Liu Mingxuan's shoe prints were found at the scene, which means that Liu Mingxuan was also with Wang Hongzhen at that time. Now, Wang Hongzhen has been killed, but Liu Mingxuan has disappeared. Was Liu Mingxuan killed, or was he the murderer? If it is the former,

Where is Liu Mingxuan's body now? If it is the latter, what was Liu Mingxuan's motive for committing the crime?

Third, the place where Wang Hongzhen was killed is not very remote. During the day, there are still many people visiting this place, but at night, there are not many people here. Ordinary robbers will not choose such a place to commit crimes.

Even if they happen to meet two old men, it is easy and simple to subdue them. There is no need to kill them. Moreover, Wang Hongzhen and Liu Mingxuan are both people with rich social experience and experience. In such a disadvantageous situation,

Losing money and avoiding disaster is the best option, but there are no traces of struggle at the scene, which is very intriguing.

Fourth, since the reporter discovered the body and chose to call the police, why did he not show up after the police arrived at the scene?

Fifth, Wang Hongzhen and Liu Mingxuan were the informants who discovered Cao Sizhe's body and chose to call the police. Cao Sizhe's case had not been investigated clearly, but they were killed at this time. Could this be related to Cao Sizhe's case? The person who killed Wang Hongzhen

Could he be the murderer of Cao Sizhe?

These questions all need to be investigated one by one.

Wang Hongzhen's body has been brought back to the Criminal Investigation Detachment and is now in the autopsy room. His family members also rushed to the scene as soon as possible and are currently identifying the body inside.

Hong Bin and the others had met Wang Hongzhen before. When they saw the body, they had already determined the identity of the deceased. The deceased's fatal injury was on the back of the head, and his face was not damaged, making it easy to identify. Fan Yang and the others were still investigating at the scene.

People from the criminal investigation detachment are also looking for witnesses or insiders at the crime scene. In addition, they are still looking for the person who reported the crime. Of course, the most important thing is to find the missing Liu Mingxuan.

The investigation of Cao Sizhe's case has just begun. Now one of the people who reported the case is dead and the other is missing. This makes the case more complicated and confusing. Hong Bin and the others must now focus on the murder of Wang Hongzhen and the disappearance of Liu Mingxuan.

Cao Sizhe's case can only be investigated by CSY.

"Brother Lang, what do you think about this matter?" Ding Haoqiong asked.

Xu Lang thought for a while, shook his head and said: "The situation is still unclear. At present, finding the reporter and Liu Mingxuan is the top priority."

Ding Haoqiong nodded. This was already done when they saw Wang Hongzhen's body.

"What about Cao Sizhe's case?" Ding Haoqiong asked again.

"Hong Bin and the others definitely don't have the time or energy to assist us now, so we have to rely on ourselves." Xu Lang said.

Ding Haoqiong looked at Xu Lang and nodded. Then, he thought of something and looked at Xu Lang but hesitated to speak.

Xu Lang glanced at Ding Haoqiong and said, "I know what you are thinking. Put the news aside for now. Our task now is to seize the time to detect Cao Sizhe's case. Don't worry about the rest."

Ding Haoqiong remained silent.

Xu Lang thought for a while and then said: "Cao Sizhe's case is very complicated and difficult. Now that something like this has happened again, you will be in charge of CSY for the time being."

"Brother Lang, you..."

Ding Haoqiong was stunned for a moment, then his expression changed and he looked at Xu Lang.

Xu Lang knew what Ding Haoqiong was thinking. We are all smart people. There are some things that don’t need to be explained too clearly. Xu Lang chose to do this mainly to avoid suspicion. In addition, Xu Lang had other things to do.

, and although CSY currently has not many members, everyone is very capable, and Xu Lang's presence or absence does not mean much.

"Did Fan Yang give you the murder plan?" Xu Lang asked.

Ding Haoqiong nodded and said: "We have sorted out Cao Sizhe's interpersonal relationships based on the murder plan."

"That's good. The murder plan is just a direction. If there are no other clues for the time being, we can continue the investigation based on this direction."

"I know."

Later, Xu Lang asked some questions about Cao Sizhe's investigation. When he learned that there was little progress, Xu Lang sighed and said nothing.

After Ding Haoqiong said this to Xu Lang, he left to arrange tasks, while Xu Lang went to the forensic autopsy room to see the condition of Wang Hongzhen's body.

king

Hongzhen's wife is a few years younger than Wang Hongzhen, less than 60 years old. She has always been a housewife and has no job. She can be considered harmonious and has no conflicts. After learning that Wang Hongzhen was killed, the family was very worried.

In grief, after it was confirmed that Wang Hongzhen was indeed killed, they were taken out of the forensic autopsy room.

His family was strongly opposed to the forensic doctor's dissection of the body. However, after doing some ideological work, they also signed the judicial autopsy agreement. After all, Wang Hongzhen was killed by homicide, not natural death. They wanted to investigate

Understanding the truth, finding the murderer, and dissecting the body are essential steps.

When Xu Lang came to the forensic autopsy room, Qin Mingyue and the forensic doctors from the criminal investigation detachment were performing preliminary autopsy work on the corpse.

Wang Hongzhen's fatal injury was on the back of his head, which was very straightforward. Qin Mingyue directly told the preliminary autopsy results after Xu Lang arrived, which was similar to what Ding Haoqiong said. However, Qin Mingyue also gave his own

Opinion.

"The deceased did not resist any injuries. The murderer struck with great force. He was killed with one blow. He must have struck while he was unprepared. The skull was dented and gravel fragments were found inside. The murder weapon must have been the bloody corpse at the scene.

, Judging from the force of the attack, the perpetrator should be a young man."

"So, Liu Mingxuan's suspicion can be ruled out?" Xu Lang said while holding his chin and looking at Wang Hongzhen's body.

Qin Mingyue shook her head and said: "This possibility cannot be ruled out. We have all seen Liu Mingxuan. He is taller than Wang Hongzhen. According to the wound on the back of Wang Hongzhen's head, the murderer is about the same height as Liu Mingxuan, both 1.7 meters."

Around eight, the murderer also chose the timing to strike very well. Wang Hongzhen was in a relaxed state before he was killed, and Liu Mingxuan’s footprints were found at the scene. If he was not an acquaintance, it would be difficult to strike from behind."

Hearing this, Xu Lang frowned. Qin Mingyue just said that the perpetrator should be a young man. However, Liu Mingxuan is about the same age as Wang Hongzhen. He is one year older than Wang Hongzhen. Such a person is more than sixty years old.

How could an old man have so much strength?

Of course, Qin Mingyue only analyzed based on the condition of the corpse, and further investigation is needed to know the specific situation.

The autopsy work had not yet started, and the forensic doctor could not give any more information now. Xu Lang's stay here was not of much value, so he left the forensic autopsy room.

Xu Lang does not need to participate in on-site investigation and other work, but he can chat with the family members of the deceased.

————————————————

In the reception room of the Chengnan Criminal Investigation Detachment, Xu Lang and a police officer named Liu from the Criminal Investigation Detachment questioned Wang Hongzhen's family members.

Wang Hongzhen's wife is called Gong Xiaomei. She is fifty-eight years old this year and is a typical housewife. At this moment, accompanied by her children, she is sitting on the floor wiping her tears.

When a family encounters a sudden change, grief is inevitable, but the police still need to do what they should do.

"Ms. Gong, Wang Hongzhen has been killed. There are some things we need to know from you and we hope you will cooperate." Xu Lang said straight to the point.

Gong Xiaomei raised her head, wiping her tears and nodding.

"What did your husband do yesterday?"

"I got up in the morning and had breakfast. I originally planned to rest at home, but your police officers came to the door and asked about what happened the day before yesterday. Lao Wang was a little impatient and didn't want to stay at home, so he went to see Lao Liu next door.

."

"Then what?"

"Lao Wang went out at about noon and had lunch at Lao Liu's house. Then, the two of them met to go fishing. They came back, picked up fishing tools, and left on an electric bike."

"Where did they go fishing?"

"Um......."

Gong Xiaomei thought for a while and said: "It's the bay where they found the body the day before yesterday."

Hearing this, Xu Lang frowned. The body was found there the day before yesterday. Most people are reluctant to go near that place because they think it is unlucky. But why would Wang Hongzhen go there?

Gong Xiaomei's answer was: "Lao Wang was not willing to go at first. After all, people died there, which is quite unlucky. However, Lao Liu said that the place was remote and no one would disturb it. Moreover, there were many fish there and the harvest was great."

It was very big, so he followed Lao Liu there."

"So, it was Liu Mingxuan who suggested going there?"

"Um."

"What time did they go out?"

"About twelve o'clock noon."

"What time did you get back?"

"Around six o'clock in the afternoon."

"Is it a big gain?"

"It's quite big. I caught half a bucket of fish."

"Did Wang Hongzhen like fishing before?"

"No, in the past, when he was working in the unit, he mainly worked in the office and was busy socializing. In his leisure time, he liked to hang out, play chess, and fish, which he later learned from Lao Liu."

"They have a good relationship?"
