Chapter 350(1/2)
Wang Hai sneered again.
"Forget it, I won't trick you. Let's talk about that case." Su Ping said: "Let me give you a thorough explanation. Although in principle, the maximum sentence can be the death penalty and life imprisonment, the statute of limitations for prosecution is two
Ten years, but if our public security organs deem it necessary, they can pursue the case indefinitely with the approval of the Supreme People's Procuratorate.
As for homicide cases, we have always taken an attitude that the murder must be solved and will never tolerate it. That is to say, as long as it can be proved that your parents died of homicide, we can not be limited by the statute of limitations and can continue to pursue it indefinitely."
"Seriously?" Wang Hai couldn't help but pick up his spirits again, and his body tensed slightly - even though he knew that Su Ping might be tricking him again.
Maybe he didn't lie just now, and what he really wanted was justice, not just revenge, so over the years, he had just been trying to push the police to open a case and investigate, and he never gave up even if he was disappointed again and again.
It wasn't until he saw that the "pursuit period" was about to expire that he couldn't help but take action himself.
If the murder case is really not affected by the statute of limitations...
His eyes were on fire again.
"Your defense lawyer will meet with you later. If you don't believe me, you can ask him directly." Su Ping said, "Of course, there is a premise, that is, your parents are indeed homicides.
We need direct evidence, such as finding the bodies of your parents, or other evidence that can directly prove that they died of homicide. Simple speculation, no matter how reasonable it sounds, is not enough."
Wang Hai's breathing became slightly faster.
But soon, a strong look of disappointment appeared on his face again, and he shook his head and said: "If I had direct evidence, I wouldn't be able to wait until today."
"In principle, criminal cases do not require you to provide evidence." Su Ping said: "Please sort out your thoughts, don't worry, tell us all the information you can think of, and I will naturally arrange for someone to investigate."
"Seriously?" Wang Hai asked expectantly.
"I think Su Ping's words are trustworthy." Xun Mu took the words and said: "Maybe you don't understand, but you can try to find out about his reputation. For the sake of truth and justice, he even asked our director
I dare to lift the table."
Wang Hai couldn't help but look at Su Ping a few more times.
After a while, he said: "The clues I know have been told to you many times. If you really read the case file carefully, you should know..."
"Yeah." Su Ping nodded: "You were in high school at the time. You didn't see your parents when you came home on Friday, and you couldn't get through the phone. You didn't pay much attention at first. Instead, you turned on the computer and played games happily. When you were hungry, you got off the phone.
It feels so uncomfortable to eat fast food or cook instant noodles on the floor.
But it’s Sunday? There’s still no news about your parents, and the phone still can’t be reached? Are you completely panicked? You can’t play the game at all, so you go to the police station alone to report the crime.”
"That's right." Wang Hai nodded: "At the beginning? I could feel that the police station didn't care very much. They told me that my parents might just go out to play, or did they launch an investigation after my repeated requests?"
In fact, this cannot be blamed on the policemen at the police station? An adult couple with a son still in high school? There were no natural or man-made disasters nationwide during that time. Even if contact was lost for a while, many people would not think that they were missing.
Moreover, it was still 2001, and the entire team was different from what it is now.
Xun Mu then added: "Later, how many people did the police from the police station contact? It was discovered that your parents could not be contacted on Monday? That is, it has been nearly a week since they lost contact? Only then did they pay attention. Many parties collected evidence and investigated, but they only found that your parents were not contacted at 7 a.m. on Monday.
Did you leave Yuqiao city? Go towards Beichuan County, and then lost contact, no more clues."
Speaking of which, Su Ping has not read the case files in detail. All the information he knows is relayed by Xun Mu, so his understanding of the case files is much better than Xun Mu's.
"Yes, that's right." Wang Hai immediately answered: "But... our family has no relatives or friends in Beichuan.
My parents were both born and raised in Yuqiao. Although some of my relatives also went out to work, most of them went to Xin'an and Huayang, and a few went to the Imperial and Magic Capitals, but none in the direction of Beichuan.
It was very strange for them to go there, let alone disappear...
The statement given to me by the police station at that time was that by investigating the surrounding road surveillance, there were only images of them entering the area and no video of them leaving the area. It was basically certain that they disappeared within an area of about ten to fifteen square kilometers.
I suspect that someone tricked my parents into going there, killed them, and then dumped their bodies in the mountains."
Wang Hai was a little incoherent, talking here and there, obviously because of excitement and nervousness, he said whatever came to his mind.
But his basic logic is quite clear, and both Su Ping and Xun Mu can understand it.
At this time, Xun Mu added: "According to the case records, after determining the scope of their disappearance, a search and rescue operation was organized and police dogs were dispatched.
But unfortunately, the area is located in a mountainous area, mostly undeveloped hills, and the area is still very vast, making it difficult to investigate. In addition, the weather conditions were bad and rainy at the time, and the police dogs were unable to smell the suspicious smell. The search and rescue operation failed, and the search and rescue operation failed.
Discover the whereabouts of your parents.
Not only that, the colleagues who participated in the search and rescue at that time were not even able to find the car your parents were driving. It was as if they had really disappeared from the world."
"But... how is it possible?" Wang Hai lowered his head and said, "I can't accept the theory that the world has evaporated. Even if the road is slippery on a rainy day and the road conditions are unclear, and they accidentally drive down the hillside and cliff, this should not be the result.
That's right.
Over the years, I have been running to that area whenever I have free time, thinking that no matter what, I must find my parents' car. If I find it, it will be an important clue that will allow you to continue the investigation, but...
…
I even joined a few outdoor hiking groups, using my time after training and competitions to try to find a sense of presence. I even became a manager and organized hiking activities there many times, just to mobilize more people to explore.
Twenty years have passed. Although the area is not small, after hundreds of searches, I can basically guarantee that I have searched that area all over. Even in some places with very dangerous terrain, I still haven't found me.
Parents' car...
What does this mean? Officer, can you tell me? What does this mean?"
Su Ping was silent for a moment and then continued: "According to logic, if your parents really disappeared within this area, then their car must be there and would not disappear for no reason."
"But the car just disappeared." Wang Hai said: "This means someone drove the car away, right? Someone drove the car away, does it mean that a third person was involved in the disappearance of my parents?"
Su Ping shook his head.
"Why?" Wang Hai couldn't help but get excited, slapped the soft-packed baffle in front of him hard, and cursed angrily: "Then how do you explain that car..."
"I think you still have some impression of the conditions nineteen years ago." Su Ping interrupted him and said: "Let alone mountainous areas, even the density and clarity of surveillance in urban areas are not the same as they are now.
Even today, the quantity and quality of road surface monitoring in mountainous areas are still relatively backward, and have not even reached the pass line for general use.
In this case, the error in the range of disappearances given by colleagues at the time was too large. It relied more not on monitoring, but on reasoning, analysis and experience. In other words, this range may not be reliable."
Wang Hai opened his mouth.
"So, if you want to find your parents, the search area may be much larger than the fifteen square kilometers." Su Ping stared at Wang Hai and said: "You have searched the entire fifteen square kilometers of mountainous area.
A hundred times, what if it is doubled? Or even three times? Five times? Ten times?"
Wang Hai's body softened a bit and he leaned weakly on his chair.
"I have read the case file." Xun Mu added: "You said these words to the police at the police station. Likewise, your colleagues at the police station also told you what Lao Su said. But obviously, you didn't listen at the time.
Go in."
"What should I do?" Wang Hai murmured in a low voice.
"Cooperate with us, cooperate fully." Su Ping narrowed his eyes slightly, his thoughts were racing, and he immediately said: "Only if you do your best to cooperate with us in the investigation, can we hope to find the exact place where your parents disappeared, and find the car your parents drove back then.
Vehicles, even...remains."
Wang Hai immediately raised his head: "How can I cooperate?"
Xun Mu also glanced sideways at Su Ping.
Can Wang Hai be taken down so easily?
Of course it is unrealistic. Wang Hai's so-called cooperation at this time is definitely only for this disappearance case. Whenever Su Ping asks about the case of Wang Hua's murder, it would be weird for Wang Hai to cooperate.
But speaking of it, they have already taken the initiative. If they want to talk nonsense next, as long as they are more careful and don't alert Wang Hai, they should be able to obtain a lot of valuable information.
The key is……
Judging from Su Ping's appearance, he seemed to have a keen interest in the disappearance case that year. He couldn't tell, but he really wanted to see if he could find out the reason.
Xun Mu is actually not optimistic about this.
It took too long, and as Su Ping said, the conditions at that time were too backward compared to today. Many clues that are not difficult to grasp today were simply impossible at that time, and many clues will be lost to time.
Once it has been wiped out, even if you want to investigate, there will be no breakthrough and it will be difficult to find out anything.
What's more, with such a large search area, if you want to find Wang Hai's parents, or even just find the car, you will have to deploy a large number of manpower and spend a lot of time on a blanket search.
This is undoubtedly unrealistic. The police force is very tight at all times, and it is impossible for the superiors to agree to Su Ping dedicating so many personnel to the disappearance case nearly twenty years ago.
Moreover, these so-called clues provided by Wang Hai are meaningless at all. If you want to find his parents, you can only use stupid methods like the human wave tactic.
At this time, Su Ping spoke again and asked: "As far as I know...for nineteen years, you have been staring at Wang Peng, suspecting that he killed your parents, right?"
"Yes." Wang Hai said without thinking: "I have just told you that apart from him, I can't think of anyone who would have the motive and conditions to harm my parents."
"That's all?" Su Ping frowned: "Then Wang Peng is too unfair."
"What an injustice! I know that he must hate my grandfather in his heart, hate that he is partial and leaves nothing to him. After all, he is not his biological son!" Wang Hai gritted his teeth and said: "I know what it feels like to be under someone else's roof.
It was very uncomfortable. He was treated so differently again, and it would be a shame if he didn't hate it!
Grandpa has been dead for many years, and so have my other uncles and aunts...he can only transfer this hatred to my parents. I can understand his mentality, but if it were me...hum!"
Su Ping glanced at Xun Mu.
Xun Mu immediately understood and said, "You are judging a gentleman with a villain's heart. Just because you think like this doesn't mean..."
"Shit." Wang Hai curled his lips: "I know him very well, wouldn't I not understand what kind of person he is? He looks very generous, but his heart is actually smaller than the tip of a needle! Otherwise, he can run and do it.
Business? The businessman is the most arrogant. My dad has to pay for a bottle of herbal tea in his shop."
"Does your father want to give you money, or does he want your father to give you money?" Xun Mu asked.
"Is there a difference?"
