Chapter 231 How to Become an Adult (Case Closed)
Luo Rui and Li Nong were sitting in the same car, Jiang Gang also went, and Qi Lei drove the car.
As a prosecutor, Jiang Gang has to file a record since he already knows about this case. Otherwise, if his boss finds out, he will definitely be punished.
Li Mei's mental state is very bad, and her unusual calmness makes Luo Rui dare not continue the interrogation. They can only ask the police to call a psychiatrist to analyze her mental state. Was she trying to escape the blame by pretending to be mentally ill, or was she really ill?
Li Nong sighed and said: "I didn't expect that a mother would kill her own child cruelly! I have been a policeman for so many years and I have never encountered such a thing."
< br>
Jiang Gang was no longer surprised and said: "What's even more outrageous is that my senior brother once handled a case where a woman in the countryside cut off the heads of her two children and then sewed them up with needle and thread. Get up and carry two backpacks She went to the town to see a doctor with her child covered with a red cloth. She said her child was sick. After she lifted the cloth, the doctor was frightened on the spot. "
Li Nong clicked his tongue twice. , asked: “Isn’t this case difficult to prosecute? ?"
"The prosecution is a piece of cake, the person is indeed sick. After a psychiatric evaluation was carried out in this case, he was sent directly to a mental hospital."
"When Luo Ruigang was interrogated, I It seems that Li Mei is not pretending. If she really has a mental problem..."
At this time, Luo Rui interrupted him: "She is mentally ill now, and she killed her son five years ago. Does it matter? ”
Jiang Gang nodded: "Yes, at least she was normal at that time, this woman is crazy!"
Li Nong lamented: "If we hadn't cleaned up the way we handled the case, Li Mei should have caught her long ago. "
Jiang Gang shook his head: "That's not what I meant. No one would have thought that a mother would be so cruel."
With that said, Baoshan Town is here, a place where Luo Rui has been for a month. Been here before.
The people from the police station in the jurisdiction have been waiting for a long time. Li Nong and the director chatted for a while, and then everyone started climbing the mountain.
The culvert Li Mei was talking about was halfway up the mountain. It used to be a canal dug by the town to irrigate farmland and connected to a stream in the mountain. It has been abandoned for many years and has never been used.
Go up along the canal and you will find a culvert. This culvert also connects other villages. The longest one is half a kilometer long.
Most rural areas have facilities like this. Especially in summer, it is very cool to get into the culvert. When you walk in with a torch, you can see many bats living inside.
The group of people held flashlights and trudged upwards. The early autumn wind was not cold, but it still felt chilly in the mountains.
The water channel has long since dried up, and the silt and sand are piled up to a depth of half a meter. As you go up, you can no longer see the land, only grass and vegetation.
About half an hour later, a semicircular hole appeared in front of everyone, and the sound of gurgling water could still be heard.
As a forensic doctor, Han Jinli also came, but Fang Yonghui and Yang Bo helped carry the investigation boxes.
Miao Shouqiang, however, carried the equipment on his own and complained endlessly, with no one to help him.
Qi Lei was the most active. He put on water shoes, jumped into the ditch with Lao Bao, and shined a flashlight into the culvert, but no body was found.
Li Nong stood by the canal and shouted: "Go inside and have a look."
"Go inside and take a look..."
He spoke not loudly, and there was an echo from the culvert, which made the detective who was used to seeing corpses feel a little scared.
"Okay!" Qi Lei responded, and he and Lao Bao walked to one side each, and then moved forward cautiously.
After a while, their figures were no longer visible, and only the faint lights could be seen.
“Zhizhi...”
Then a large swarm of bats flew out of the culvert, like a black shadow.
Everyone quickly covered their faces with their arms and waited for the bats to fly away.
Bats are nocturnal creatures, so I don’t know why they stay in the cave at night.
"Hey, Old Qiao, what's going on inside?"
Li Nong was a little anxious. If he couldn't find the body, he couldn't be convicted. Besides, could this crazy woman Li Mei lie? Not sure.
Not long after, the halo of a flashlight kept shaking, and then there was the sound of footsteps wading through running water.
Lao Bao's voice came from the culvert: "Found it, there is a body!"
The voice traveled very far and could be heard very clearly.
Li Nong took a long breath, and Luo Rui's expression relaxed slightly.
But what Lao Bao said below pierced their mentality.
"Li Da, Luo Da, there is more than one corpse! There are three corpses inside!"
Li Nong almost fainted, why are there three corpses?
Luo Rui was also shocked. The two of them jumped into the ditch together and trudged inside, regardless of whether they were wearing water shoes.
After all, Jiang Gang was not in direct contact with the scene. Although he had seen corpses before, he had never seen the scene where they were dumped. He hesitated and jumped into the ditch.
Han Jinli wanted to stop him, but it was already too late. Although the scene where the corpse was dumped was not the crime scene, the evidence left behind was very sparse, making it even more difficult to extract.
Miao Shouqiang also frowned and scolded several colleagues who wanted to jump into the ditch: "Stop entering. If the physical evidence is destroyed, you will bear the consequences!"
Afterwards, Han Jinli and Miao Shou Qiang put on his equipment, each carried a simple survey box, and walked into the culvert.
After walking for almost two minutes, I saw a bunch of people gathered in front of me.
Han Jinli looked up and felt a chill running down her spine.
Some small bats hang upside down on the cliff. These little things can't fly away. They are so densely packed that it is very scary.
Until she saw the two corpses lying in the puddle in front of her, she finally understood why these bats didn't go out to look for food at night.
The two corpses were highly decomposed, with traces of gnawing all over their bodies, especially the exposed faces, which were bloody and bloody, and looked really visceral.
The time of death of the two people has not been determined yet, but the temperature in this culvert is extremely low, and the corpses will decompose more slowly.
This scene is something Han Jinli has never seen before since she started working as a forensic doctor.
She had not looked carefully at the types of these bats just now. What she knew was that some bats did not suck blood, but only used insects and small animals as food. There were very few species of vampire bats in China, but That's not even certain.
The bats must be caught, and the eggs on the corpses must also be caught. There are many things that need to be inspected.
A signal for help immediately rose in Han Jinli's mind, and she couldn't handle the scene by herself.
Not only her, Miao Shouqiang is also under great pressure. There is water in the culvert, and the footprints may be destroyed, but if the water flow is slower, the murderer's footprints may still be left in the mud, but if He couldn't figure it out even if it wasn't a complete footprint. He immediately thought of Zhao Ming and Director Zhao who came to the county bureau for support some time ago.
Li Nong squatted in front of the two corpses, with a sad face.
He covered his nose with his hand and comforted himself: "We have a large number of missing people in Shahe County. It is not surprising to find two corpses here, and it is nothing to make a fuss about."
Jiang Gang felt a chill in his heart. He glanced at the corpse and turned his attention to Li Nong: "You would think that if Director Lu knew about it, he might not be able to sleep well in the middle of the night."
Li Nong Nong rolled his eyes at him: "What can we do? We can't just pretend that nothing happened here, right?"
Jiang Gang replied: "Anyway, this matter, you We will take care of it, I want to record it and wait for you to send it to trial."
Li Nong stood up angrily. This is why the criminal police do not want to deal with the prosecutor. Some cases require you to keep adding. Not to mention the evidence, some new murder cases have been caught by prosecutors, and they have to follow up from time to time to prevent you from producing some fake physical evidence and affecting the court proceedings.
Leaving the two rotting corpses aside, Li Nong and Jiang Gang carefully moved forward as close to the cave wall as possible.
They saw Luo Rui squatting there ten meters ahead.
A thin withered skeleton was leaning on the wall of the cave, with a pair of empty eye sockets staring at the detectives who had arrived five years later.
His school uniform was in tatters, and it was exactly what Tai Hui wore before his death. There was a schoolbag on his back, and the lower half of the schoolbag was touching the water.
Li Nong asked: "Is this Tai Hui?"
Luo Rui nodded: "The hyoid bone is fractured, it should be him."
No one dares to draw a conclusion now, everything must be based on DNA testing.
Jiang Gang covered his mouth and nose and said angrily: "Damn, you are so cruel. What a kid, you really have to do it!"
Li Nong sighed, although he He has seen many tragedies in the world, but this time the victim was as old as his son, and his heart was touched.
"Yes, it's so heartless!"
Jiang Gang said: "Then this case has been solved, right? You have fixed the evidence and sent it for examination. It is best to Li Mei needs to find out more about the process of committing the crime, especially the motive of the murder. If you are not careful in this case, you will not be sentenced to death.”
Luo Rui stood up: "It's still early. We haven't figured out who poisoned Tai Zhenggang yet. The two cases are connected and will have to be sent for examination together."
Li Nong The analysis said: "The motive for the murder is not difficult to guess. Tai Zhenggang must have been poisoned by Li Mei, but we don't know when and how she poisoned her. Li Mei has mental problems now. After the forensic appraisal, we will Continue the interrogation."
At this time, Han Jinli came over and asked: "Li Da, which body should I inspect first?"
Luo Rui took over: "Inspect the body first? Let’s do DNA testing on Tai Hui’s body and get the results soon. As for the two corpses in front, it’s too complicated. We have to call in foreign aid.”
Hearing this, Han Jinli glanced at Luo Rui gratefully.
Because his words echoed loudly, Miao Shouqiang also heard it and hurriedly said: "Luo Da, that's from my side..."
Luo Rui nodded: "I'll find Director Zhao!"
Li Nong's irritable heart also calmed down a little.
Shahe County is a poor county with no resources. Otherwise, the newly arrived forensic doctors and trace inspection would not be allowed to take on the important responsibilities.
Now that one case has not ended, another case has occurred. Without the support of a technical master, it is indeed difficult to solve the case in a short time.
But that doesn't mean that Han Jinli and Miao Shouqiang are incompetent. After all, they are young and technically immature, but they are good at writing reports.
The new police officers this year are all good at writing reports, except of course Luo Rui.
The scene was handed over to Han Jinli and Miao Shouqiang, and everyone else withdrew, leaving only a few assistants and handymen.
Luo Rui got ashore and immediately took out his cell phone and called Wei Qunshan.
Wei Qunshan, the old fox, used himself as a dagger. Luo Rui thought, no matter what, he had to make him bleed now.
As soon as the call was made, Fang Yonghui hurriedly emerged from the culvert. He was wearing latex gloves and holding a transparent bag in his hand.
"Li Da, Luo Da, Han forensic doctor found it in Tai Hui's schoolbag!"
Luo Rui's pupils tightened and he saw what looked like a book in the bag. Fang Yonghui stood in the ditch and explained: "It seems to be Tai Hui's diary."
Luo Rui quickly put on latex gloves and took the evidence bag.
The diary is not very thick and has a brown leather cover. Because the environment has been too humid for five years, the paper has become damp and sticky, but fortunately it has not rotted.
Luo Rui opened the evidence bag, and Li Nong turned on the flashlight. The two squatted on the ground, with Jiang Gang standing behind them.
After Luo Rui opened the title page, he began to look at it seriously.
Li Nong urged from the side: "Don't look at the front now, just look at the diary after May 21st. Tai Zhenggang was killed on that day."
Luo Rui turned the paper to the back. , but because the papers were stuck together, the writing was smudged by water, so it was not very clear.
It was blank on May 21st, and it was blank for several days after that.
But the last two pages of the diary are full of memories, and no date is written down.
The light source of the flashlight shines on the paper, and the first sentence at the beginning is: I killed my father...
[I killed my father!
The night before, before I went to bed, my father told me that he had to take a trip and would not be back for a few days.
I thought that when I got up in the morning, he should set off, but that morning, he was still at home.
Dad and mom had a big fight because mom asked dad for money and dad gave it, but mom said it was not enough.
Dad was sitting in the dining room angrily. Because I had to go to school in the morning, he made breakfast for me.
That day, the weather was hot, and my father said that he would buy me a new schoolbag when he came back. I was very happy.
I want to tell my dad that I saw my mom bring a man home, more than once.
That man would leave our house every time after I got out of school. I saw him on the corridor many times.
Moreover, there was also a used condom in the trash can in my mother’s bedroom. I didn’t know what it was, so I wrapped it in toilet paper and took it to the school teacher, who scolded me.
The older children are making fun of me, saying this is what my parents used when they were kids. Men have this thing in their bodies, and if they don’t use it, they will give birth to children.
But it was not my father who did that with my mother.
I ran to question my mother, I asked which man was who? I threatened to tell my dad, and my mom got mad and beat me.
She said that if I dared to tell my father about this, she would kill me.
I always felt that my mother was not joking, so I was frightened and kept this secret in my heart.
That morning, my dad was sweating profusely because he made breakfast for me. When he was getting ready to go out, I remembered the Coke I had put in the water and chilled overnight. I ran to the kitchen to get the Coke. , Mom already has the Coke in her hand.
She asked me what I was doing, and I said I wanted to bring the Coke to Dad.
Mom said, tell me to come out and she will bring me the Coke in a moment.
When my father got in the car, I took the Coke from my mother's hand and gave it to my father, but there was only half a bottle of Coke left.
I thought it was my mother who drank it, so I didn’t think much about it.
Dad touched my head and said, when he comes back, we can go fishing together on the weekend.
After dad left, mom was still watching from the balcony.
I also looked at the street where the taxi disappeared for a long time.
Later, my father died in a car accident.
I cried a lot. My grandparents came from the countryside. Our family came to the funeral parlor and prepared to take Dad away, but a doctor said that Dad died very strangely and needed to be checked, but Mom forced me to take him away. Take dad's body away.
I heard the doctor calling someone and saying that my father might have been poisoned.
I was frightened. I thought of the bottle of Coke. My father’s death must be related to that bottle of Coke.
But I didn’t dare to tell anyone. Half a month later, I got up the courage to question my mother.
I need to ask clearly how my father died...
If it was her who poisoned me, I will tell the police! I must tell the police uncle!
It would be great if I could become an adult. I would know what to do about this matter.
Mom has killed dad, will she kill me?
If I die, I don’t know if I can see my father again...
Dad, I miss you...]
The diary only ended here. Because the paper was damp, Luo Rui saw several circular watermarks and wondered if they were Tai Hui's tears.
Li Nong, who was holding the flashlight, choked up, turned his head, wiped his tears, and cursed: "Silly boy, why don't you run away!"
Jiang Gang sighed deeply. : "She probably ran away and was killed by his cruel mother. He was caught, strangled to death, and the child was thrown here. For five years, for five years, the child stayed in this culvert."
Luo Rui's arm. The veins on his body bulged, and he stood up slowly, feeling filled with panic.
It is now roughly clear how Tai Zhenggang died.
In all likelihood, Li Mei put poisonous rat poison into the Coke bottle and asked Tai Hui to hand it over to Tai Zhenggang.
Li Mei will not find this thing in a short time, she should have been prepared long ago.
If the bottle of Du Shuqiang can be found, then Li Mei’s intention and premeditation to kill is certain, but the hope of finding it is slim.
The Coke bottle Tai Zhenggang got did not arouse his suspicion. He thought his son drank half of it before giving it to him.
Moreover, he did not drink the bottle of Coke immediately. It was not until several days later that he drank the Coke bottle containing Toxin Rat when he was returning, perhaps because he had run out of water.
As for the police, they misjudged the time of poisoning, and the truck overturned and caught fire, destroying the physical evidence. Therefore, it was difficult for Li Nong to investigate five years ago.
Luo Rui also used an unusual investigation method to pry open Li Mei's mouth and find Tai Hui's body. Fortunately, with this diary, the truth about Tai Zhenggang's death was finally revealed.
However, all this still has to wait for Li Mei's confession. Her confession is particularly important when the physical evidence is incomplete.
The next afternoon, Li Mei underwent a psychiatric evaluation, and the doctor concluded that she had no mental illness, but was suffering from fatigue caused by excessive stress.
Li Mei was interrogated again.
She sat in the interrogation chair with a calm expression. If someone didn't know the inside story, they wouldn't be able to tell that this woman ruthlessly killed her husband and biological son.
But it can be seen from her eyebrows that she is a ruthless person.
Luo Rui stared at her and found that there was no trace of guilt on her face.
Li Mei has compromised and confessed to all the crimes of killing Tai Zhenggang and Tai Hui.
This surprised Luo Rui, who thought she was going to struggle.
“When did you kill Tai Hui?”
“I don’t remember, it seems to be the second day after he disappeared.”
Li Mei answered casually , eyes kept staring at his fingers.
Luo Rui read the notes and said: "Let me remind you, Tai Hui disappeared on June 7th. Do you mean you killed him on June 8th?"
"Probably."
"When is the specific time?"
"Three or four o'clock in the afternoon, when the sun is about to set." Li Mei raised her eyes and said: "That child every day Every time I ran away from home, I would walk along the railway tracks, and every time I would hide near the Baoshan Tunnel, I could always find him.”
Tai Hui’s body had turned into bones, so it was difficult to judge the time of death, Li Mei said. testimony is very important.
“This kid threatened me, threatened me to tell the police that I killed his father, and if I didn’t kill him, I wouldn’t be able to live, right? To be honest, when I was pregnant with him, I I thought about having an abortion. After all, this child is not Tai Zhenggang’s. It will be a troublesome thing in the future. If I abort him at that time, will it not be against the law?”
Regarding such a bottom line-challenging and inhumane question, Luo Rui gritted his teeth, suppressed the discomfort in his heart, and continued to ask: "After you strangled him to death, you threw the body into the culvert. Was there anything abnormal in the culvert at that time? "
Li Mei shook her head: "I don't know what you want to ask."
"Later,. Did you direct and act in the note about kidnapping and demanding ransom?"
Li Mei nodded: "Yes, I found a random person at the train station and wrote this note for me and gave it to her. Two hundred dollars.”
“What’s that person’s name? What does he look like?”
"How could it be possible? That person didn't even ask me what I did. Anyway, he could get the money, so he didn't care about her. Besides, she only stayed in Shahe County for one day."
"Kill Tai Zhenggang The poisonous rat strong, where did you buy it? ?”
“Baoshan Town, my hometown town.”
“Do you still have the medicine bottle?”
“It would have been thrown away five years ago. , you have already caught me.”
"Does Bian An know what you have done?"
"He is a fool. He has nothing but a good life. He doesn't know." Li Mei answered smoothly, and did not Not the slightest resistance.
Jiang Gang, who had been silent all this time, felt something was fishy. He immediately whispered in Luo Rui's ear: "Besides the mental evaluation, have you checked anything else?"
Luo Rui blinked. Blinking, he asked: "What do you mean?"
"Pregnant!"
Luo Rui was shocked by these two words Jiang Gang said!
If Li Mei was pregnant, she would really be able to escape the death penalty. Even if she had a miscarriage in custody, she would not be sentenced to death.
Luo Rui suppressed the surprise on his face and looked through the mental evaluation report on Li Mei in his hand, but there was no conclusion report on pregnancy.
At this time, Li Mei raised her eyes and looked at Luo Rui, with a smile on her lips...
