Judging from the food, utensils, and clothes found, the man was very particular about food and clothing, and he should be a wealthy man.
Then, the second suspicion was also discovered. Widow Wang’s house was clean. According to shopkeeper Xie, Wang Xiuzhu was a clean person. Even though her family was poor, she would clean her house every morning when she got up. If a person wants to commit suicide,
, it is unlikely that she would care so much about environmental sanitation. Moreover, the basket for shopping and several hundred copper coins were placed on the table in the main room - obviously, she was going to buy food.
Combining the forensic doctor's conclusion with the two previously discovered doubts, the criminal police believed that Wang Xiuzhu died of homicide!
"I think the murderer is looking for something," Gao Chongjiu said.
"Properties?" Li Ziyu said cautiously. After all, everything in the dressing box was gone.
"It may not be property." Gao Chongjiu frowned, "There are clearly five ingots and ten taels of silver in the box behind the bed. There are also some scattered silver taels in the drawer - none of them were taken away."
There were obvious signs of disturbance in both places. The murderer clearly saw the money but did not take it, indicating that he was not looking for soft money. There were traces of disturbance throughout the house, but the murderer wanted to leave a mark of "suicide" to others.
Fake, be very careful when rummaging.
By now, Gao Chongjiu, Li Zhenguo and Li Ziyu all know that this case is "deep". They are basically certain that Wang Xiuzhu's death is related to the "headless corpse" whose whereabouts are still unknown. What Lao Cui saw
The man climbing on the wall is a serious suspect.
Now that there is a second victim, the case has a new direction for investigation.
The murderer killed Wang Xiuzhu and then disguised it as a suicide, obviously to silence him. Wang Xiuzhu is likely to be a participant or important insider in the "Headless Corpse Case".
Li Zhenguo immediately decided to start investigating the interpersonal relationships around Widow Wang, focusing on finding out who Wang Xiuzhu's concubine was.
Although Wang Xiuzhu is a migrant, she has settled in Nanjianzi Lane for ten years. She has a lot of acquaintances in the area. The neighbors have no special impression of her. They only say that she is diligent and capable. They have never heard of her or her husband when their husband's family was still there.
There is a quarrel in the family or there is something about looking for a romantic partner outside.
In short, Wang Xiuzhu is an extremely ordinary housewife from a small household in Guangzhou.
As for the fact that she had recently found a lover, many people in the surrounding neighborhood knew about it, but they mostly found out about it from "street speakers" like Mrs. Liu and Lao Cui. Almost no one had actually seen this "wild man."
”.
After some searching, the only information they had about Wang Xiuzhu's concubine was what Sister-in-law Liu told Li Ziyu yesterday.
As a result, the investigation work reached a deadlock again. Not only did not many "wild men" be found, but a key link in the case: the headless body was not found either.
"Comrade Li..." Li Ziyu was a little hesitant. He had been following the criminal police all morning, and he had some thoughts in his mind that he had never had a chance to say. According to the rules, a newcomer like him who had just joined the job was not qualified to speak, but Li Ziyu was in Wanshou.
Gong Yiqi can be regarded as a top student, and his ability to memorize is top-notch. He has memorized several training class textbooks by heart. There are cases in these books. He can be regarded as a glimpse into the Australian case handling model and has a little knowledge.
One or two.
"...I have an idea," Li Ziyu summoned up her courage and said, "could the body not be thrown into the river, but put on the Dan family's boat?"
This idea made Gao Chongjiu and others' eyes light up. They both cursed themselves for being confused. There was no street gate on the river. The murderer put the body on the Dan family's boat and easily transported it out along the river.
.It’s no use even turning upside down in Nanjianzi Lane!
However, when they arrived at the exploration site early in the morning, they did not see a small boat on the river, which made this reasoning more likely.
Several people divided the work. Gao Chongjiu went to investigate the whereabouts of the two boats, while Li Zhenguo and Li Ziyu continued their investigation and exploration in Nanjianzi Lane.
When it comes to Danhu, this matter is a bit tricky, and Gao Chongjiu can't help but have a headache. It's not that Danhu has any "political sensitivity", but that Danhu are basically "outsiders", and the Ming Dynasty does not pay attention to Danhu.
No question. In theory, Dan households also have household registration, but their household registration is managed by the local river bank for the purpose of collecting fishing taxes.
As time went on and the government became tired, the Hebo Office only wanted to search for fishing lessons, but did not inquire about the real household registration status of the households. These household registrations are basically the same as the yellow books in the county government offices. They are even more wrong.
Danhu usually live on the water, wandering and have their own special language and customs. There is a deep gap between them and the people on the shore, and there is very little communication. Therefore, the government knows nothing about the situation of Danhu.
Gao Chongjiu went out from the street gate, walked around to the street opposite the river, and found the river pier that Li Ziyu mentioned without any trouble. The river pier was very small, and it was also at the bottom of a branch alley. The difference was that
There are many residents in this branch alley, and people often use this river port to wash rice, wash vegetables and wash clothes. Danhu’s boats often park here and sell river fresh food to the residents. Over time, they all know each other. According to the residents
He said that there are three or four Danhu boats that often come here, and indeed two of them anchored at the river port for the night last night. The owner of one is called "A Shui", and the other one is called "A Qiu" by everyone. But after dawn today
Soon the two boats were gone.
Apart from knowing that their names were "A Shui" and "A Qiu" and that there were several men, women, old and children on the boat, the residents could not provide any clues: ordinary people rarely interacted with the villagers, and the boat was in
This river port has been doing business for seven or eight years, and no one even knows their exact name.
Gao Chongjiuxun thought that it was impossible for a boat to transport the body out of the city - because leaving the city had to pass through Shuiguan. Shuiguan used to be guarded by relevant officials, but now it is also under the management of the police. No matter in the past or now, boats have to go in and out of Guangzhou.
There must be an interrogation at the water gate: the main purpose of the water gate is to collect taxes, so the interrogation is always strict. There is no place to hide the body on the boat, so the body is most likely abandoned halfway.
But since it is a small boat that often goes into the city, people who have shut down the water must have an impression. Maybe they know something about it.
There are 10 water gates in the entire city of Guangzhou. As long as they are willing to take a detour, any water gate may leave the city, and they may not leave the city and park at a river port in the city. Gao Chongjiu thought about it, and decided on each water gate.
It would be too slow to inquire, so why not go to Hebo Police Station - now called Shuishui Police Station to inquire.
Gao Chongjiu went to investigate the Dan family's boat, while Li Zhenguo, Li Ziyu, and the others continued to investigate and interrogate in the dark at Nanjianzi Lane. They continued until the sun was about to turn to the west, but still found nothing. Just when they were feeling disappointed, Wu Xiang came.
Wu Xiang originally did not intend to intervene in this case, but he returned to the bureau after a busy day today and saw the newly released "Case Brief". The working conditions of the Senate Police System were extremely poor. Except for Lingao, most places
There are no telephones to contact them at any time. However, the mission they undertake requires that the city bureau and branch bureaus, police stations, stationed stations, and police stations must communicate with each other as soon as possible, so they followed the old-fashioned method of the 1950s:
Each branch and police station manually reports to the Municipal Bureau at 12 noon every day on various cases that occurred in various jurisdictions within 24 hours. The Municipal Bureau then quickly organizes the cases reported by each branch into a briefing report, prints it and publishes it in the afternoon.
Send it to all branches before 2 o'clock, so as to ensure that each branch can get the latest case situation as soon as possible.
The headless corpse in Nanjianzi Lane was not found, and another "pretended suicide case" emerged, which piqued Wu Xiang's interest. He immediately rushed to Nanjianzi Lane and met Li Zhenguo, who was in a state of distress.
After listening to Li Zhenguo's report, Wu Xiang fell into deep thought.
So far, Gao Chongjiu and Li Zhenguo's judgments are all right, including the pursuit of the Dan family boat, which is also a breakthrough direction. But Wu Xiang feels that there must be some details that they have not noticed.
Judging from the clues currently available, the murderers of the unknown corpse case are likely to be two people, because to use a lever to move the body, two people must cooperate - Wang Xiuzhu is likely to be one of them. A young and strong woman like her from a rural area
, carrying a load of one to two hundred kilograms is no problem. It is even easier to carry a corpse with others.
Bars and ropes were found from the river, but there was no oilcloth sheet. Why didn't the murderer sink into the river together? Wuxiang estimated that nine out of ten murderers wrapped the body in oilcloth - this can explain why there was no blood along the way.
, there was blood only at the entrance of Dongbazhi Lane where they left the body...
Wu Xiang suddenly thought: This is a headless corpse! Since it is a headless corpse, where did the head go?
The murderer deliberately chopped off the head before moving the body. Generally speaking, in this kind of case, he had a deep grudge against the victim, so he deliberately took the head away. The purpose was firstly to make the deceased die without a complete body, and secondly to use it.
as a memorial offering.
It is impossible to walk too far with a bloody head, and it will be easily exposed after dawn.
Whether it was the murderer or the body that was cut into two parts, it was obvious that he was still hiding somewhere in this neighborhood.
Wu Xiang thought again and again and said: "Let's go, let's walk along the known route of the crime and see what new clues we can find."
Li Ziyu thought to herself that she had gone back and forth so many times, and she just had to shovel open the wall and dig out the paving stones. What new tricks could she see? No matter how capable Australians are, they can't make something out of nothing. However,
He also admired the meticulousness of the Australians - if they wanted to let go of the government, they would not file a case without a body. Even after Widow Wang died, she would not make so many stories and just "commit suicide" and it would be over.
I will never work hard to solve the case and find the murderer by myself. (~^~)
