Three hours later, I received a call from Gu Chen. On the phone, Gu Chen told us what happened next.
Not long after we left, we received a call to the police, so we went to Lu Zhiqiu's small grave. At that time, Jiang Xiaochun had already hanged himself from the tree next to the grave. According to the investigation, it was determined that Jiang Xiaochun committed suicide. And they found a copy of Jiang Xiaochun's personal notebook in Jiang Xiaochun's arms.
In the notes, Jiang Xiaochun recorded his love for Lu Zhiqiu, and recorded some details from acquaintance to falling in love with Lu Zhiqiu. Through the comparison of the diary and the results of previous investigations, it was confirmed that Jiang Xiaochun was the murderer.
The investigation revealed that Jiang Xiaochun used different methods to brutally kill 22 citizens of different ages, genders, and identities within two months. At present, except for Deng Xuemei's body, which cannot be found, all the bodies of the others have been recovered. However, according to the investigation, there is no evidence to prove that among the twenty people was the murderer who killed Lu Zhiqiu.
After the case is over, according to the procedures, the thirteen corpses in Dongxing City will be transferred to various crematoria for cremation. After notifying the family to collect the body, Gu Chen told me that he saw a scene that he would never forget in his life, which was enough to shock him for the rest of his life.
Gu Chen has never seen dozens or even hundreds of people kneeling at the door crying together, Gu Chen has never heard the sound of hundreds of people crying, the sound is deafening, at that moment, All the people stopped their work and stared blankly at these people at the door. Everything in the world seemed to have disappeared, and only these people remained in the world. All the sounds are gone, only these cries are left.
At that time, Gu Chen finally understood that life is never a matter of one person, but a connection of one life after another.
After more than two hours, these talents gradually dispersed with the transportation of the corpses. But those red and swollen eyes, I'm afraid Gu Chen will never forget them. From different perspectives, people see different things. Perhaps in the eyes of Jiang Xiaochun, these people are selfish and hypocritical, but in the eyes of their families, these people are the pillars of the family, they are good husbands or wives, they are good fathers or mothers.
Perhaps for the rest of their lives, when these family members wake up from nightmares, they will always continue to curse Jiang Xiaochun's selfishness with red eyes, and to take revenge for their own selfish desires and kill so many innocent people. Perhaps Jiang Xiaochun understood this, so he chose to self-destruct.
I looked at Zhao Mingkun next to me, did she think the same way
Gu Chen also told me that he is still investigating the truth of Lu Zhiqiu's death seven years ago, but according to Gu Chen's friends, there are too few clues in this case, and there may be no results in a short time. There are other things to do, and this case can only be investigated slowly.
I shook my head, and I wasn't particularly interested in this case, and I invested very little manpower. But so far, there should be no dead people.
Dongxing City is a big city, and there are not a few people who go missing or die every day. Most people may only face a few deaths related to their own lives in their lifetime. The death most people see is just a line of small words on TV, but this line of small words needs to be investigated.
At this moment, Zhao Mingkun and I already have some clues. Judging from our previous investigation, it didn't even take a minute for the murderer to kill Lu Zhiqiu. According to our investigation, there was a short gap between the departure of Yang Licheng and Wang Yikai and the arrival of Liang Mei, and it was during this gap that the murderer appeared and killed Lu Zhiqiu.
Everyone left, it was impossible for Lu Zhiqiu to be in a daze for no reason, that is to say, there was only a gap of five to ten minutes at most. Counting the time of Xu Man's arrival, it should have been after Yang Licheng and Wang Yikai left the construction site, which means that it should only take about five minutes for the murderer to kill and escape.
When Liang Mei was dismembering the body, Hu Pei was actually hiding behind a pillar, so has Hu Pei ever seen the murderer? But if Hu Pei saw the murderer, why didn't he call the police, instead he had to scare himself? This is really unreasonable.
I sent a text message to Gu Chen, asking him to investigate two people, one is the worker who killed the dog, and the other is Lu Xiangyang.
Gu Chen was a little confused about this, because we had just ruled out the suspicion of Lu Xiangyang, why did we ask him to investigate Lu Xiangyang again. I have a faint feeling in my heart that there seems to be something hidden behind this incident waiting for us to discover. Although Gu Chen was a little puzzled, he still followed my instructions.
With Sister Mary around, in this era of Internet access, except for those high-level people, finding the information of ordinary people is as simple as eating. And at night, Gu Chen sent us the news of Lu Xiangyang's current developments and the whereabouts of the man who wanted to kill the dog seven years ago.
After Lu Xiangyang was found, the Lu family finally breathed a sigh of relief, and found someone to make a banner with gongs and drums and sent it over. And Lu Xiangyang has now returned to his normal life. These two months can be regarded as a small lesson for Lu Xiangyang, but the side effect is that Lu Xiangyang has become a celebrity in their school.
When get out of class was over, it was time for Lu Xiangyang to talk about his fantasy drifting.
However, when Sister Mary investigated Lu Xiangyang, she found that Lu Xiangyang had withdrawn 50,000 yuan from her account two months ago, but Sister Mary did not find out where the 50,000 yuan was used. . There is no record of cash consumption on the Internet, which requires us to investigate.
But when I heard this, I realized that Lu Xiangyang lied to us.
Lu Xiangyang told us before that when he went south to prepare for a showdown with netizens, he saw that it was still early, so he planned to earn a little pocket money, but after Lu Xiangyang left with these people, Lu Xiangyang gradually became more and more serious. Realize that you should be controlled.
This is a contradiction. Why should a person who can withdraw 50,000 yuan go to work to earn some pocket money? The Lu family received nearly 1.5 million yuan seven years ago, but how high was the house price seven years ago? The Lu family invested money in real estate. Although the Lu family's parents didn't know anything, it was enough. This is an era when money begets money.
Patriarchal, they have always loved Lu Xiangyang very much. If Lu Xiangyang asks for money, they will definitely give it. And this is what I doubted immediately when I heard Lu Xiangyang's words. Looking at it now, this is indeed a huge doubt.
Putting the matter of Lu Xiangyang aside, I went to read the information on the dog butcher seven years ago.
According to the information, this person is called Rob. Seven years ago, Rob was twenty-six years old, not much older than those students back then. At the beginning, Rob wanted to kill a dog on the construction site, but was stopped by Lu Zhiqiu and others, so someone coaxed Lu Zhiqiu and others to buy the dog for 10,000 yuan, and Lu Zhiqiu really did.
Wang Xin felt that he had been humiliated, so he spread rumors on the Internet that Rob abused dogs maliciously, saying that Rob killed other people's dogs for fun, which eventually led to Rob being searched. Not long after, Rob left the construction site and never returned. According to Sister Mary's investigation, Rob returned to his hometown soon after, and he should still be staying in his hometown now.
Judging from the information, Rob is not married and is currently single, and he is now thirty-three years old. Rob's hometown is far away from Dongxing City, and it may take a day to get there by train. And it is very troublesome for me to go out of the city now, if I am not careful, I may be arrested, so Zhao Mingkun and I cannot leave.
Then this task was naturally handed over to Gu Chen, and Gu Chen didn't refuse. He ordered the next day's ticket that night and planned to go to Rob's hometown to investigate.
Zhao Mingkun looked at me and said, "Then what are we going to do? Since your old buddy is going to investigate Rob, who are we going to investigate?"
I also looked at Zhao Mingkun, and said, "Let's investigate Lu Xiangyang. You know, if we want to leave Dongxing City, we need too long to prepare. It's a waste of time. Besides, we have to track down Guan Zengbin's identity." If you are missing, you cannot leave Dongxing City."
"Lu Xiangyang?" Zhao Mingkun shook his head in doubt, and said, "You never suspect that it was Lu Xiangyang who killed your sister seven years ago, right? At that time, Lu Xiangyang was just a kid, what? I don't understand."
I waved my hand and said, "Of course I can't suspect that Lu Xiangyang killed Lu Zhiqiu, but that kid who didn't understand anything back then has become an adult now. I think he should have his own opinion, maybe Like Jiang Xiaochun, this child also made a lot of cover-ups. It’s just that the lies are mixed with the truth, and the truth is mixed with lies, which makes us hard to guard against, and is confused by the truth.”
Zhao Mingkun looked at me and said slowly: "You mean to suspect that there is any connection between Lu Xiangyang and Jiang Xiaochun?"
I nodded and said: "That's right, that's exactly what I thought. The most important point, Jiang Xiaochun said that the mobile phone appeared at his door for no reason. But the mobile phone will never run over by itself. Then someone did it. And this person, who is the most likely?"
"And." I continued: "When we were investigating the case, who troubled us the most, and who led us around?"
After a while, Zhao Mingkun said the person's name: "Of course it's Lu Xiangyang."
I snapped my fingers and said: "This is the problem. Tomorrow, go to a place with me and investigate carefully. Maybe we can find out something..."
