Chapter 306: Hunting the Murderer
Eight o'clock in the morning, Shipan Village.
Police officers surrounded a two-story self-built house with white tiles on the front and cement on both sides.
There is a pond in front of the house, with paddy fields on both sides and in front of the pond.
It was late winter, and the crops in the paddy fields had already been harvested. A group of ducks were walking in the paddy fields, looking for the rice left in early autumn.
When Dong Jianmin and Lu Peng rushed over, the police had already surrounded the house. The front-line criminal police from the two counties were at the front. Several people had already raised their guns and pointed them at a man wearing a green military uniform in front of the door. middle-aged man.
The man was leaning against the door, holding a hatchet in his hand, and the blade was pointed at a middle-aged woman wearing a black down jacket.
"What's going on?" Dong Jianmin was confused. The previous news did not say that the gangsters had taken hostages.
The person who answered him was Pang Zhong, an old detective from Pingyang County: "This man's name is Niu Yu. When we checked into his home, we found a motorcycle. His age is also very consistent, and his height and weight are similar. , especially..."
Pang Zhong pointed to a row of autumn corn hanging under the window on the left side of the door.
The yellow and orange autumn corns are really eye-catching.
When Ding Wei saw this thing next to him, he quickly ordered the publicity officer to take pictures of the entire scene.
Dong Jianmin is also a veteran detective. Out of caution, he asked: "What is his name? Has he admitted that he is the murderer of the serial murder case? Are there any footprints?"
Pang Zhong shook his head: "The situation at that time was that when we first looked at his shoes, That woman came to borrow something, and who knew, this man just held the woman hostage with a knife, and we didn’t even have time to ask."
Dong Jianmin glared at him, and then he remembered that the other party was Pingyang County. It is normal for the criminal police to not understand the local situation.
He quickly called the village secretary and the police who were assisting in the investigation.
After some inquiring, he figured it out.
Niu Yu is a native of Shipan Village, Longshan Town, Fukang County. His parents have passed away long ago. His family is a single generation of three generations and he has no relatives.
Age 37 years old, unmarried. If this person is really the murderer, then he would have been 28 years old in 1997, which is quite consistent with the age of the murderer. Besides, he is about the same height and weight. A suspect of this level is already It completely matches the characteristics of the murderer.
The hostage taken hostage by Niu Yu was his neighbor. She came to borrow something in the morning. When the police asked her, she stayed a little longer out of curiosity. Who would have known that she would be so unlucky that she would be The person he deals with all day long is being held hostage.
After becoming familiar with the situation, Dong Jianmin did not dare to delay any further.
The subordinate brought stab-proof clothing and a police helmet.
The helmet is still very important, especially the hatchet in the suspect's hand. The blade is sharply polished and can cut off half of the head with one slash.
The policemen in front automatically moved out of the way, and Dong Jianmin walked to the front, which was in the courtyard.
He was only twenty meters away from Niu Yu and did not dare to go any further.
Niu Yu's left arm strangled the woman's neck, and while waving the hatchet in his right hand, he shouted crazily: "If you come here again, I will kill her!"
Dong Jianmin first I glanced at the propaganda officers on the left and right. These people were carrying cameras and recording videos.
This made him a little nervous. He licked his lips and shouted to Niu Yu: "Don't be excited, don't be excited. Let me go first. If anything happens, let's sit down and talk, okay?" "
Niu Yu's eyes were red and he shouted: "What nonsense, you are just here to arrest me!"
As soon as he heard this, Dong Jianmin became more energetic, and he hurriedly asked: "Do you know why you arrested me? You?”
Niu Yu licked his dry lips and glanced inadvertently to the left.
This direction is where the police were looking for the bodies of three women late last night. It is three kilometers away from here.
Dong Jianmin's heart sank. Although he had not yet collected the other party's footprints, he was becoming more and more certain of the other party's suspicion.
At this time, the woman held hostage by Niu Yu was so nervous that she could not speak and her whole body was shaking.
The blade was across her neck, and the skin on her neck was already bleeding.
Lu Peng quickly called a few criminal policemen who were good at marksmanship and spread out to find a shooting position. If the other party made any mistakes, he would shoot directly, but he could not kill the person.
Dong Jianmin continued to ask: "Did you kill the three female corpses in the grotto?"
Hearing this, Niu Yu smiled sideways and did not answer.
"The three cases committed in Pingyang County in 1997, 1998 and 1999 were probably your fault, right?"
The police at the scene held their breath, waiting for the other party to admit it. , but who knew that Niu Yu licked his mouth and replied: "It's not me."
Dong Jianmin frowned and asked: "It's not you? It's not you. Why are you holding hostages?"
"But I threw the body there."
Hearing this, Dong Jianmin's eyes widened. My eyes and my heart were agitated.
"You didn't kill the person, so what does it mean to help him throw the body away? Who asked you to do this?"
Niu Yu swallowed his saliva and said, "I promised him, I want to keep it a secret.”
Dong Jianmin was stunned for a moment, and he hadn't figured out the logic yet.
Suddenly...
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Two consecutive gunshots rang in his ears, Dong Jianmin was a little confused. He shrunk his head and saw policemen swarming behind him.
Niu Yu suddenly fell down in front of the door. The woman he was holding was rolling and crawling out of his wrist, and then a policeman ran forward and dragged her behind him.
Other police officers swarmed up and held Niu Yu down like a stack of Arhats.
“Damn it, be more honest!”
“When I checked you, I saw something was wrong with you and you actually dared to take a hostage!”
… …
Seeing that the person was under control, Ding Wei pulled the publicity officer and stepped forward directly. The camera almost stared at Niu Yu's face and recorded the whole meal.
Dong Jianmin and Lu Peng also hurried forward. After the policemen lifted Niu Yu up, they pressed him on the bench in front of the door and asked him to sit down.
Old detective Pang Zhong immediately squatted down, lifted Niu Yu's legs, and then took away the Jiefang shoes he was wearing.
A group of people quickly gathered around and looked at the size of the soles.
Because the soles of the shoes were full of mud and smeared with cow dung, Pang Zhong didn’t mind it and buttoned them with his fingers, and then the size of the shoes came out.
Lu Peng said: "40 yards, it's not him!"
Tang Kai, who shot the gangster before, put away his gun and said confidently: "I can't say for sure, there is still a big difference in the footprints." , let me see if it means It must be him. "
"Who told you to throw the body into the grotto?" Dong Jianmin asked directly. The other party was shot once in the shoulder and waist, but the bullet was not very powerful. Time, or death.
In any case, there is obviously no problem with the police's judgment. Even if Niu Yu is not the murderer, he is still an insider.
Now, the entire town of Longshan Town is searching for the suspect, and there is a lot of noise. If the murderer is not found out in time and the suspect escapes, it will be tragic.
Although Niu Yu was handcuffed, his shoulders were still firmly held down by several detectives, preventing him from moving.
“Give me a cigarette and I will tell you!”
Dong Jianmin nodded slightly. A policeman took out his cigarette, lit one with a lighter, took a puff, and put it on the cow Yu's mouth.
He held it in his mouth and took several deep breaths until half of the cigarette ashes fell on his crotch, and the police took the cigarette butt away.
Dong Jianming said: "You can talk now."
Niu Yu did not answer directly, but asked first: "I want to ask, how will I judge?"
"You are concerned about this now!" Tang Kai teased, wanting to He hit his head, but was blocked by Lu Peng.
Dong Jianming was a little impatient: "Tell me what you committed first."
"Okay!" Niu Yu sniffed, no longer intending to keep it secret, and began to explain: "Killing His name is Niu Qiang, we are together From a village, he killed the three women in the grotto. He gave me money, three hundred yuan per woman, and asked me to help him throw them into the grotto."
"Niu Qiang? "Dong Jianmin quickly looked at the policeman beside him.
At this time, a person stood up and replied: "We haven't found this person yet..."
Niu Yu smiled and pursed his lips forward.
The row of police officers standing in front of him quickly got out of the way.
Niu Yu raised his chin: "On the opposite side, in the three-story building, Niu Qiang does not live in the village, but his parents are at home."
A group of policemen looked forward. , in front of the house three hundred meters away from them, they saw a yellow-haired dog barking loudly, an old man and an old lady, holding rice bowls, standing on the edge of the courtyard, staring curiously. Over here...
……
……
Shahe County, County People’s Hospital.
Three police cars parked at the gate of the hospital.
After Luo Rui got off the car, he didn't close the door and walked directly to the hospital building.
Lin Chen, Fang Yonghui and others crowded behind him, all of them strong and tall.
Whenever they see such a group of arrogant people surrounding them like this, everyone will quickly avoid them.
Patients in the hospital were no exception. They all gave way, thinking they were family members who were making trouble in the hospital.
However, a woman in a white coat and glasses in the hospital lobby quickly came forward.
"You are..."
"Half an hour ago, we talked on the phone..."
"Captain Luo, right?" The woman smiled and said, "Sorry, you are too young, I dare not confirm."
"Are you Dean Zhang?" Luo Rui asked.
"It's me." Dean Zhang made a gesture of invitation and said as he went upstairs: "You called and asked us to help find a hospital for three years. The age of admission is between 18 and 35 years old. We have indeed screened several male patients, including those with sexual dysfunction.”
“Is there a list?”
"Yes, yes, in my office, you come with me."
Not long after, the group went to the office on the third floor.
Dean Zhang took out a list and handed it to Luo Rui: "These are the five people who meet the age requirements, but they are not hospitalized for a long time. You also know that if you stay in the hospital for three years, no one will I can't afford the medical expenses.
The people on this list all have to be hospitalized once a year. They don't last long and are discharged after their condition is stabilized.
Most of them are patients. I have a disease that requires long-term treatment, such as cancer, etc..."
Luo Rui listened to her while watching the list.
The list is very detailed, including the patient's name, age at admission, symptoms, but no specific address.
Lin Chen also stood up and watched. Then, she stretched out her hand and pointed to the name of one of the people.
This man's name is Qian Hao. He was admitted to the hospital on November 18, 1996. He was 26 years old when he was admitted. The medical record details that he suffered from systemic lupus erythematosus.
"Lupus erythematosus?" Fang Yonghui blinked. He didn't know there was such a disease.
Dean Zhang stopped talking and gave him some popular science: "This disease is more common in women, and the ratio of men to women is 10:1. This Qian Hao is the first male patient we have admitted since the hospital was established. Of course. , my main focus is not this, but There was nothing we could do about this disease in our county hospital. I remember that the attending doctor at the time suggested that he go to a tertiary hospital in the province, but he didn’t have that much money for this disease. A disease involving multiple systems and organs There are a variety of autoimmune diseases caused by autoantibodies. The main manifestations are fever and joint and muscle symptoms. In severe cases, they can also damage various organs in the body.
Qian Hao's symptoms were relatively good at the time, but he was affected every year. He will also come to the hospital..."
Looking at the medical records, Luo Rui said: "There is no record of his admission after 2000."
Dean Zhang agreed: "That's right. . I don’t know how he is doing now?”
Luo Rui read the medical records and didn't see anything interesting.
He asked: "Who was the doctor who treated him at that time? Can you call him over?"
"Okay, it's Director Xiao from the Rheumatology Department. Please wait a moment." , Dean Zhang picked up the phone on the table and dialed the number.
During this period, Tian Guanghan and the others stood in the corridor, looking at the facilities in the hospital.
Su Mingyuan whispered to Yang Bo: "Do you know what is going on in Fukang County and Pingyang County?"
Yang Bo was stunned for a moment and rolled his eyes at him: "You ask me, who should I ask?"
"Actually, think about it, these two counties are really unreasonable, and the murderer will be found soon. , they got rid of us right away. You didn’t look at the appearance of your Lu Bureau. You were almost mad.” Si Yangqian often does this too. This kind of play is very offensive and can't be tolerated."
Fang Yonghui curled his lips: "I heard that people from the provincial departments and ministries are on their side. ? "
At this time, Lin Zeng came out of the office and heard this and said: "There is a smell of blood, so go there. That's how propaganda works."
Tian Guanghan wanted to tease him a few words, but a doctor in a white coat passed by him.
This man wore a mask, looked at Tian Guanghan and others suspiciously, and then went directly into the office.
He knocked on the originally open office door.
"Deputy Dean, I need your signature on this."
Dean Zhang nodded, took the document, picked up the pen, signed his name, and then handed it back to him. "Thank you for your hard work."
"Sorry, Vice President, you are busy first." After saying that, the doctor walked out of the office. Before leaving, he looked at Tian Guanghan and the others.
After this man left, a Mediterranean doctor followed.
As soon as he entered, Dean Zhang immediately introduced: "Director Xiao, this is our criminal police captain in Shahe County, Captain Luo."
Luo Rui greeted him and then asked him to Explained Qian Hao’s situation.
Although more than ten years have passed, the other party's memories are very clear.
After all, lupus erythematosus in the rheumatology department is also a relatively rare disease.
After listening, Luo Rui asked: "How did Qian Hao behave during his hospitalization?"
Director Xiao frowned and recalled: "He loves to be clean, a little bit. I'm a germophobe. Every time I go to the ward for rounds, his bed is the cleanest and stacked. They are neat and tidy. I have seen him eat oranges. The oranges had to be stripped of all the fibers before they were put into the mouth, so I was very impressed by him."
Hearing this, Qian Hao's. The suspicion became more and more serious, and Fang Yonghui and others surrounding the door all squeezed in at once.
Lin Chen also opened his eyes wide and asked quickly: "Does he suffer from any sexual dysfunction?"
Director Xiao blinked and then nodded: "Yes, when he was admitted to the hospital in 1996, he went to the men's department for consultation..."
At this point, he suddenly raised his face: "Just now, that Doctor Niu , he is an andrology doctor, he is the one I recommended to Qian Hao before. , if you have any questions, you can ask him, he should know better than me."
Luo Rui nodded: "Lin Chen and Fang Yonghui, you two go to the doctor Niu just now and ask Qian Hao. "Situation."
"Okay." Lin Chen agreed.
The two people left the office immediately.
Director Xiao was curious for a moment and not only asked: "Captain Luo, I would like to ask, what did Qian Hao do?"
"It's not convenient to say this." Luo Rui put away the list and looked at Dean Zhang: "Do you know Qian Hao's home address?"
Dean Zhang nodded: "Yes, the hospital has a copy of his ID card. Please wait a moment and I will find it for you."< br>
Not long after, a piece of A4 paper came out of the copier.
Luo Rui took it out from the machine and held it in front of his eyes.
Name: Qian Hao.
Date of birth: March 7, 1970
Place of birth: Changqiao Township, Pingyang County...
The photo on the ID card is very blurry, but it can be seen that this He is a very delicate man with no obvious features on his face.
He was admitted to the hospital in 1996. Huang Yan was killed on January 22, 1995. If he had done it, he would have been only 25 years old at the time.
At this time, Chu Yang asked from the side: "Team leader, is this this person?"
The reason why he asked this was because it did not completely match Lin Chen's criminal profile a few days ago.
Lin Chen’s profile of the murderer was otherwise correct, but his birthday was not January 22nd.
"It's very possible!" Luo Rui replied: "At least the criminal profile made by Lin Chen is more consistent with this person."
Then, Luo Rui immediately took a photo with his mobile phone and The photo was sent to Li Nong, who was still conducting investigations in the textile factory, asking people to find out the relationship between Qian Hao and Huang Yan.
After Li Nong received the photo, he called immediately.
The two people discussed it and decided that it was most important to find out the whereabouts of Qian Hao first.
So, under Luo Rui's instructions, Yang Bo and Tian Guanghan immediately led people to Qian Hao's hometown. Because his address was in Pingyang County, the local boss must be notified.
Tian Guanghan and Yang Bo did not dare to stay long, so they left directly and contacted Luo Rui later.
At this time, Luo Rui thanked Dean Zhang and led Chu Yang and Su Mingyuan to the corridor of the hospital.
Luo Rui called Lu Peng and went downstairs.
Chu Yang followed him and asked in a low voice: "Team leader, why don't we arrest people together?"
Luo Rui answered while waiting for a phone call: "We With such a big movement, Qian Hao might have run away a long time ago. We will rush over after Lao Tian and the others confirm who he is."
"Okay!" Chu Yang responded.
At this time, Su Mingyuan asked a female nurse passing by: "Hello, which floor is the men's department on?"
The nurse pointed downstairs: "The corner of the second floor."
"Okay, thank you."
The three of them went downstairs. When they reached the second floor, Su Mingyuan glanced downstairs. , his brows suddenly wrinkled.
"Hey, isn't that person the doctor just now?"
At this time, the phone in Luo Rui's ear was connected, and Lu Peng said angrily on the phone: "Talk about something!"
Luo Rui rolled his eyes and explained the matter in detail, while listening to the noise on the phone. The other party seemed to be interrogating someone, and he could vaguely hear the conversation.
While talking, he watched Lin Chen and Fang Yonghui walking towards this side.
Lin Chen said: "Team leader, that Dr. Niu is not here. The nurse said something happened and went out."
Su Mingyuan blinked and pointed downstairs: "That's him!"
Chu Yang also took a look: "Why is he running?"
Lin Chen looked down and saw the doctor just now, taking off his white coat and walking out of the hospital door.
At this time, Luo Rui frowned. Listening to the noise on the phone, Lu Peng hung up the phone.
Luo Rui looked at Lin Chen who was going downstairs in a daze: "Do you know the name of Dr. Niu?"
Lin Chen turned around: "There is a writing on the door of his office, Call Niu Qiang, team leader, you wait, I will call him back."
Luo Rui swallowed and sneered.
Chu Yang was unsure of his laughter: "Team leader, what are you?"
Luo Rui ran down immediately: "This Niu Qiang is the murderer B, arrest him, arrest him!"
“Holy shit!” Chu Yang was stunned for two seconds, and so were the others.
Afterwards, everyone suddenly reacted.
Especially Su Mingyuan, who ran downstairs in a few steps.
He followed closely behind Luo Rui, and the two of them ran so fast that when they ran out the door, Niu Qiang was standing on the street, as if preparing to hail a taxi.
Su Mingyuan didn't dare to say anything, and was about to catch up. Who knows, Niu Qiang glanced back and saw two people chasing after him desperately. Niu Qiang's face froze and he ran away.
"Fuck, stop! Damn it." Su Mingyuan wanted to pounce, but a car drove over and blocked him.
At this time, Luo Rui jumped up, stepped on the front hood of the car, and jumped directly over.
Su Mingyuan held the front of the car with his hand and walked around.
Niu Qiang had already run into the alley opposite, and Luo Rui chased after him.
The two chased each other closer and closer until the distance between them was only twenty or thirty meters. Luo Rui lifted up the hem of his clothes, took out his gun, opened the safety catch, and fired a shot into the air.
“Bang!”
“Stop, don’t be afraid. If you run again, I will shoot!”
Niu Qiang was startled and just glanced back Take a look, and then keep running forward.
Stopping at this time will lead to death, but there is still a chance of survival if you escape.
Luo Rui also followed closely, but he had good physical strength. As he ran, he shouted: "I count to three!"
"First warning!"
"Third warning!"
Luo Rui squatted on the ground, raised the gun, and pulled the trigger without aiming.
"Bang!"
The bullet spun and hit Niu Qiang's left thigh directly.
The power of police bullets is small. After being shot, Niu Qiang just hesitated for a moment and did not stop.
At this time, Su Mingyuan and Fang Yonghui chased him all the way. The two men pounced on him like vicious dogs pouncing on their prey.
Seeing Niu Qiang being pushed to the ground, Luo Rui stood up, put away his gun, and walked forward. He heard the snorts and laughter of Fang Yonghui and Su Mingyuan, and Lin Chen coming from behind. gasping sound.
The three people seemed to have worked together to catch a big fish, and everyone wanted to come and see it. However, there were no publicity police officers filming and taking photos, which everyone felt was quite a pity.
