Early the next morning, in the conference room of the serious crime team, all the materials were ready.
The forensic autopsy report, the detailed records of the forensics, and the crime scene investigation records were all placed in front of Lu Junchi.
Qiao Ze took the initiative to report that his hair was curled, and he kept pressing the curled strands of hair with his hands.
"We have conducted an investigation based on the recent missing list of young men, and we have confirmed the identity of the deceased in the second bucket..."
While introducing, he announced the documents and information of the deceased on the projection.
"The victim's name is Guo Chengfeng, who is from Huadu, unmarried, 38 years old this year, and runs a well-reputed Guo's private restaurant. The restaurant's business is very good. A month ago, her sister reported his disappearance. ."
The man in the photo is slightly fat, with a ruddy face, looking simple and honest, and it is difficult to connect with the scorched yellow body that was soaked yesterday.
"I checked the review website and Baidu information. Guo Chengfeng used to stay in a five-star hotel, and he was good at Huaiyang cuisine. Later, he went to learn Western cuisine and started to cook some new creative meals that combine Chinese and Western. His dishes have also won awards at some food festivals, and he is very famous. The Guo family restaurant requires reservations, only accepts some regular customers, and has a good reputation. The restaurant has made a lot of money in recent years.”
"What about the victim in the first bucket? Have you found any relevant information?" Lu Junchi asked.
"The identity of the deceased has not been found yet. However, during yesterday's on-site inspection, there was a catch..." Qiao Ze said and pressed the projection again, showing a comparison of several fingerprints, marked with a red ×. The fingerprints match, "This is a few sets of clear fingerprints extracted from the iron bucket where the first deceased was located yesterday, and it exactly matches Guo Chengfeng's fingerprints."
That is to say, the fingerprints of the second deceased who died a month later appeared on the corpse barrel of the first deceased who died two months ago.
Qiao Ze explained in detail: "Those fingerprints are on the barrel and on the top of the barrel. I think it may be caused by the process of moving the iron barrel. And Guo Chengfeng's body is also strong enough to put the first The victim was stuffed in."
Qu Ming frowned and put these clues together in his mind: "Is it possible that the first deceased was killed and abandoned by the second deceased?" He paused and said, "Then the second deceased Who killed the dead? Someone wanted to avenge the first dead person? Or what? What happened to the woman who abandoned the body?"
When Su Hui heard this, he lowered his head, looked at the printed information of Guo Chengfeng, and remained silent.
The clues found so far are difficult to answer these questions.
"Confirming a victim is already a major progress. The relationship between the two iron barrels has finally emerged, which is already a big breakthrough." Lu Junchi sorted out his thoughts and said, "Then let's take Guo Chengfeng's sister first. Call over and ask about the situation."
Jose just said yes.
Lu Junchi said again: "Wait a minute, is Guo Chengfeng's private restaurant closed or open?"
Qiao Ze was stunned for a moment: "It seems to be on, his sister is running it."
Lu Junchi's eyes fell on the autopsy report of the first corpse: "According to the test, there are a small amount of peanuts, diced radish, fungus and some pickled snail meat in the stomach of the deceased, which looks like an appetizer. If the murderer is Guo Chengfeng, then the private restaurant may be the scene of the crime."
He raised his head and said: "Xia Mingxi applied for a search warrant, Qiao Ze, Mr. Su, let's lead the team to see it together. Others continue to track down the identity of the first deceased, as well as check Guo Chengfeng's social relations, we can do it at any time. connection."
Guo's private kitchen is not far away. It is located in an alley in the south of Huadu City. The entire restaurant is renovated from an old house in the past. The interior is antique, but it uses Western-style decoration. From a distance, you can see that one piece is picked out. cornices.
In addition to Su Hui and Qiao Ze, Lu Junchi also brought several police assistants and a book of things.
After Guo Chengfeng disappeared, the chef of the private kitchen became his two apprentices. There are not many people in the restaurant, only a few helpers and waiters in total.
Guo Chengfeng’s younger sister, Guo Jinqiu, had arranged to not pick up guests for the time being. When they saw a team of policemen coming over, they greeted them, checked the search warrant, and let them in.
Guo Jinqiu is twenty-eight years old this year. She is not tall, thin, dignified and elegant. She has her hair in a braid and wears a dark blue embroidered cheongsam, leading them to the front hall.
There are three entrances and three exits here. The front and rear courtyards are transparent. Outside the carved window lattices, large transparent glass windows are laid, so that you can have a panoramic view of the outside scenery at a glance.
There are about four tables in the front hall, and other rooms are scattered for guests to choose from. The small cubicle on the top floor, in the pavilion in the backyard, and next to the bamboo forest, can all be seated.
Wu Jian started working in the front hall and backyard, Lu Junchi asked Guo Jinqiu for questioning, and Qiao Ze followed the record.
Su Hui didn't sit down. This private restaurant had a unique view. He saw a big, hazy green in the backyard from a distance. He followed those objects to the back, and went to the depths. His walking stick was empty. to the road…
Lu Junchi and Guo Jinqiu asked questions, watching Su Hui's emaciated figure walking behind, and shouting from a distance, "Mr. Su, be careful, there is a lake over there."
Su Hui stopped and squatted down. Only then did he see clearly that there was a small artificial lake under his feet. The water was green and connected with the grass.
There were fish in the pond, obviously they were used to feeding them. When they saw someone coming, some koi swam over. Swimming in the water with his mouth open.
Seeing that Su Hui didn't go forward, Lu Junchi breathed a sigh of relief. He turned around and asked Guo Jinqiu, "Did you call the police about your brother's disappearance?"
Guo Jinqiu nodded and said, "Yes, have you found him?"
Lu Junchi said: "Miss Guo, we found Mr. Guo's body. The forensic doctor is currently conducting an examination. I will inform you to go to the Municipal Bureau to claim it later..."
With tears in his eyes, Guo Jinqiu wiped his eyes with a tissue: "I'm sorry... Although I had a hunch in my heart, I still heard about this... "
Lu Jun nodded in understanding: "It's okay, I would like to ask your condolences."
After Guo Jinqiu cried for a few minutes and stabilized his emotions, Lu Junchi continued: "I want to ask, did you have a holiday with anyone before your brother died?"
"Holidays? No..." Guo Jinqiu wiped away tears, "My brother is an honest man, and he has never blushed with others..."
As soon as she finished speaking, the object book in the yard called out, "Team Army, we found some bloodstains beside the rockery!"
In the quaint old house, it can be warm in winter and cool in summer without turning on the air conditioner. There is a breeze today, and the bamboo in the courtyard is rustling. If this group of people came here to taste the food, not to investigate the murder case, then the scenery is enough. Intoxicating, unfortunately...
A line of hidden bloodstains in the yard made everyone nervous.
After listening to Wujian's words, Guo Jinqiu's face turned pale.
Lu Junchi followed the case and asked again: "Did Guo Chengfeng have a fierce conflict with people here two months ago?"
Guo Jinqiu lowered his head to recall for a moment, and then said in a trembling voice, "There was one night when my brother said he had to entertain guests himself, so he didn't let us come to work."
"Who is the other party?" Lu Junchi continued to ask.
Guo Jinqiu said: "I don't know, I wasn't there that day..." After saying this, she lowered her head again.
Lu Junchi judged her statement and thought it was a lie. He turned his head and looked into the yard beside him. Su Hui finally left the artificial lake, probing the road with a cane, and walked towards the rockery.
After a while, Wujian reported again: "Army, we found some glass shards in the yard."
There are many rockeries in this yard, and the ground is full of small stones, which are difficult to clean up. Even after a long time has passed since the fight, there are still many traces left.
Lu Jun called out late and asked, "Is it a shard of glasses?"
"No, the thickness is different." He Wei picked up the broken glass and looked at it carefully, "It's like the lens of a camera."
Guo Jinqiu's pale face turned blue again, she still pretended to be calm, and wrote lightly: "That may be because there was a guest in the yard before taking pictures, and the camera was dropped. Our side has a good view, and there are often guests sitting in the yard to eat. , by the way, to take pictures of wedding dresses…”
As she spoke, her fingers were guiltily twisting around her clothes.
"Team Army! Here is a piece of glass with blood stains! It's hidden under the rockery and has not been polluted by rainwater." He Wei was happier with the new discovery.
Guo Jinqiu's lies were punctured again and again, and he couldn't hold back a little: "Maybe someone scratched his hand and accidentally dropped it on it."
Lu Jun said lately: "Whose bloodstain is from, you can find out by testing it." Then he looked at Guo Jinqiu, "Miss Guo, I think it's better that we all save time."
At the same time, he was judging whether the woman in front of him could be the woman who abandoned the body. In previous cases, it was not uncommon to report missing after killing a relative.
In the end, Lu Junchi judged that it shouldn't be Guo Jinqiu. This woman was too thin, and her height did not match. With her physical strength, she couldn't cooperate with others to put the strong and strong Guo Chengfeng into that oil barrel.
However, the woman in front of her must know something.
Guo Jinqiu cried again for a while, picked up a tissue and wiped the tears from his face, and finally choked out a sentence: "My brother had a little conflict with a photographer who was a photographer, that is, they scuffled together and the camera shattered. Well, I wasn't there that day, my brother told me afterwards..."
Guo Jinqiu is really not good at lying. The more she repeatedly emphasizes that she is not there, the more Lu Junchi confirms that she is there.
Lu Jun said in a deep voice: "Your brother didn't let other service staff come that day. This is not a temporary intention, it is a long-planned plan. The photographer came with a camera, probably for some reason for the appointment, and the victim ate some small dishes. , it means that your brother talked to him beforehand. His camera was broken in the yard because someone wanted to kill. The photographer couldn't put down his camera if he wanted to run. They fought in the yard, so there It'll leave a shattered camera and bloodstains..."
Having said that, Lu Junchi squinted his eyes and looked at Guo Jinqiu: "Miss Guo, we found the body of a victim with 27 knives in his body. We suspect it is related to your hotel. I know you want to keep it a secret and don't want to affect the restaurant. Business, but if you don’t report your knowledge and prevent the police from handling the case, you will also have to go to court. Are you still unwilling to tell the truth now?”
After listening to Lu Junchi's words, Guo Jinqiu's tears fell faster, her shoulders trembled, and she cried even more sadly than when she heard the news of Guo Chengfeng's death.
Lu Junchi's eyes locked on Guo Jinqiu, and he continued to question: "We conducted some investigations before coming here. Your brother is popular and has no financial disputes. What happened between him and the photographer? Why did he stab him 27 times in a row? What about killing the photographer?"
This case does not look like a vendetta or murder, Lu Junchi judged that it was most likely a love murder.
As soon as these words came out, Guo Jinqiu's face turned green, and he scolded fiercely, "It's all because of that woman!"
Lu Jun waited to see that she was finally willing to speak, and pointed to the table and chair beside him: "Miss Guo sit down, please tell us everything you know."
In the yard, Su turned around, but couldn't see anything clearly. Holding his cane, he turned his head and walked in this direction. When he entered the atrium, Guo Jinqiu began to tell what she knew.
Guo Jinqiu stabilized his emotions for a while and said: "Six months ago, my brother met a beautiful woman by chance. She wanted to learn a few dishes from my brother. As a chef, those secret recipes for cooking They are not rumored, and only my brother and I know many of the ingredients. I originally thought that the woman would be closed, but I don't know what method she used. After pestering my brother for a few days, my brother agreed to teach her. already."
Qiao Ze recorded and asked, "What's that woman's name?"
Guo Jinqiu's eyes were red: "Her name is Chen Shanshan."
She continued: "Since then, that woman has come here often to learn how to cook with my brother, sometimes helping out in private kitchens. My brother taught her to teach her carefully and taught her a lot of his skills. Later, I don't know what happened, and their relationship became closer. My brother also asked me if she would be my sister-in-law. Looking for a partner, if you can find a woman to spend your whole life with, it would be a good thing to help us open a private restaurant together. I also bought a gift for her at that time, and wanted to have a good relationship with her... "
Speaking of which, Guo Jinqiu clenched his back teeth: "But who knows, that woman is arrogant. She introduced a photographer named Wu to take pictures, but in fact she is also ambiguous with this man."
Qiao Ze reminded again: "What is that man's name?"
"My name is Wu Chenguang."
Qiao Ze hurriedly recorded it, which was probably the name of the first deceased.
Guo Jinqiu wiped his tears: "My brother found out later that he really wanted to marry that woman. How could he think of being made to wear a green hat on his head... A man can't bear such a thing."
"That night, my brother originally called Chen Shanshan and the surnamed Wu to confront him, but the other waiters didn't let me come, so he left me to cook and serve in the back kitchen. At that time, I heard a quarrel in front of me. When I went out, I saw the surnamed Wu lying on the ground, covered in blood... It was the first time I met a dead person, and the body was stained red after the body fell on the rockery in the yard. , I was terrified."
Guo Jinqiu recalled that scene now, as if she still felt frightened, her expression became frightened, and she covered her face with her hand.
It sounds like Guo Chengfeng killed and abandoned the body. Lu Junchi frowned and asked, "Was Chen Shanshan at the scene when the crime happened? What did she do?"
Guo Jinqiu sobbed: "She was standing next to her, crying all the time. My brother later said it was none of her business, saying that she would not call the police, so he let her go back.
"What about those things at the scene of the crime? Like murder weapons, cameras..."
Guo Jinqiu shook her head: "I don't know, the murder weapon and the body were all handled by my brother, I only helped to clean the room and yard." She thought for a while and added, "The camera may have been taken by the woman. "
Guo Jinqiu wiped away tears: "To be honest, I never thought that my brother, who is so honest, would kill people, and I never thought that after that happened, my brother was still protecting that woman. That A woman is just a green tea, and it seems that she has many boats on her feet. I haven't thought that my brother has not cut off his relationship with that woman after that incident... In the end, he also disappeared... "
Lu Junchi asked her, "Why didn't you call the police?"
When asked this question, Guo Jinqiu's tears kept rolling down his cheeks: "My parents died early, my brother has been supporting the family, and it was my brother who provided me to study and raised me... I can't do it to report him. … And at the time, I was too scared… I kept trying to persuade him to turn himself in. My brother said he could turn himself in, but he had to pass on those secret recipes to me and my two apprentices. I thought about it and it made sense, but I delayed it for a while. Down, I didn't expect that within a month, my brother went out one day and never came back... I suspect that my brother was killed by that woman and her other lovers... "
"Which private room did the incident take place at the time?"
"It is the small hall with the best view in the west. Later, I helped to wipe the small hall with bleach. My brother gave the staff two days off and turned over the gravel in the yard."
But there is always a sparseness in a hundred secrets, no matter how disguised a place has killed people, it will leave a trace of clues.
Lu Junchi asked the physical evidence to go to the scene to extract it, and turned to ask her, "Does anyone else know about this?"
Guo Jinqiu shook his head: "Besides me and that woman, probably no one else knows about it..."
They now finally know the identity of the first deceased and the source of the conflict.
Su Hui concentrates, this story sounds like an ordinary murder case, but how could Guo Chengfeng die outside? And the murderer used the same method of discarding the corpse? Who was he killed by, does this have anything to do with that woman
He touched the cat's head on the cane and looked at the small yard in front of him. On the night of two months ago, there was a bloody case here. Three people in the house: two men and one woman, suddenly broke out in the house. There was an argument, and then a murder happened in this yard.
Twenty-seven knives, which may have been a frantic killing for several minutes, from which he could feel the murderer's anger.
And that mysterious woman... was standing by then, crying and watching all this
Qiao Ze recorded for a while, turned on the computer, and started looking for information. Soon, Wu Chenguang's information was found. This was a twenty-eight-year-old photographer, young and handsome, and his height and shape seemed to match the number one body found earlier.
Then Qiao Ze typed in Chen Shanshan's name again, he snorted softly, and pushed the screen to Lu Junchi to see: "No match."
The name Chen Shanshan is very common. Qiao Ze chose a fuzzy search, which means that related names or near-sound words will also be displayed. Even so, there are still no young women of the right age.
Lu Junchi asked, "Are you sure that the woman's name is Chen Shanshan?"
Guo Jinqiu nodded: "Yes, my brother called her Shanshan."
Lu Junchi: "Do you still have her ID number, or other information?"
Guo Jinqiu flipped through the phone and reported a phone number.
Qiao Ze searched: "The head of the household is registered as a man in his fifties, not her own number."
Guo Jinqiu was a little stunned at this time, he sucked his nose, and muttered to himself, "My brother has been with that woman for a few months, and I see her from time to time, but why is it that the name is also fake now, the phone The number is also fake? She... she... "
Speaking of this, her face changed: "You don't think that woman is made up by me, do you? She has been here for a long time. If you don't believe me, you can ask other shop assistants... "
A big living person, going in and out of private kitchen dishes, will naturally be seen by many people.
Lu Jun said lately, "This woman may have something to do with this case. Can you describe her in words?"
Guo Jinqiu hesitated for a moment and recalled: "She is about thirty years old, she is very good-looking, gentle and has a temperament, especially her pair of eyes, the kind of slightly raised eyes, when she looks at you, she will let her go. People think, how can I describe it. It's a bit coquettish, she... She is a vixen, and when she looks at a man, she is seducing a man... "
Qiao Ze asked, "what's her height?"
"She is about 1.6 meters in height, much taller than me. She is very hypocritical. When she is here, she brings tea and water, helps with work, and can chat with anyone... At first, I was also confused by her. Now, take her as a friend!"
Speaking of which, Guo Jinqiu gritted his teeth and said, "It's all because of her! If it wasn't for her, none of this would have happened! My brother's life has been ruined by this woman! It's also possible that this woman killed my brother with her own hands!"
At the end, her face turned hideous.
Su Hui reminded: "You said that Wu Chenguang took some photos of her?" If you can find the location of the photos, you can further determine who this woman is.
"Ah! By the way, the photo!" Guo Jinqiu then remembered, "I don't know where Wu Chenguang's photo is, but I also have a photo here. It was a group photo of a few of us before." She flipped through the album a few times. Make a picture bigger. He pointed to a woman in the back row.
Lu Junchi picked up the phone, she was indeed a very beautiful woman, and she could see it at a glance in the crowd.
Lu Junchi asked, "Do you have anything left by that woman here? For example, fingerprints, hair or something."
Guo Jinqiu shook his head blankly, but then nodded again, ran to the room to the side and took out a mirror: "She used this mirror to dress up, you can see if there are any fingerprints on it."
In the yard, the collection of physical records was almost done. Lu Junchi asked some details about Guo Chengfeng's disappearance, and then said: "Miss Guo, it involves a criminal case. You should not leave the city recently. If there is anything that needs your cooperation, We will contact you again."
