The case still has not made any progress. Shaodong was extremely depressed. Whenever he had time, he would look out all the interrogation records, interrogation records, visits and investigation records of the entire case, hoping to find a breakthrough. When handling other cases, he would take time to look through them. Wang Bo advised him to let them go first, but Shaodong was still persistent.

In Shaodong's view, this is the first serious case I have participated in after going out for a year of further study. I didn't expect to encounter a knot and felt unwilling to accept it.

Shaodong still habitually read the 314 murder case files and used various methods to make assumptions with multiple ideas. Suddenly, a sentence caught Shaodong's attention. In Dong Qinghua's inquiry record, there was a sentence: "These two wastes deserved the crime, and they were transported to the well in the eastern suburbs and buried it. If it were me, they would burn them all with a fire."

Shao Dong thought of Dong Qinghua's profession, which was the funeral service industry. Shao Dong boldly guessed: Will Master Zhou be murdered by Dong Qinghua and burned his body?

Shaodong was excited. If Master Zhou had been murdered by Dong Qinghua, it was after September 11. According to Zhou Dawei's confession, on September 11, Master Zhou drove with him to deal with Liu Hui's body. Then when was Master Zhou's death? According to the oral statements of most villagers who had seen Master Zhou, the last time he saw Master Zhou was in mid-September. Shaodong searched for records of visiting villagers in the file. Through comparison, the last time he saw Master Zhou was a boy who attended high school in the county town. According to the student, it was Friday that day, because he could go home for two days to rest on weekends, he was very impressed, and it was raining that day.

Shao Dong reported his speculation to his master and requested that he continue to investigate.

Since the first squadron had another major case at this time and was short of staff, Wu Jianguo considered it and said to Shaodong: "The team has been very busy recently. There are both 1 and 2 teams in short supply. I will temporarily take the coordinator from the second group. If you have any ideas, you will continue to investigate. If there is any progress, I will follow up."

Shaodong was afraid of any omissions, so he found the witness again, a high school student, according to the address on the visit record. He confirmed that he had met Master Zhou on Friday, and it was raining that day.

Shaodong rushed to the county meteorological bureau again for help. Shaodong wanted to get more accurate news for such a major murder case.

After showing his identity and indicating his purpose, he learned from the staff of the Meteorological Bureau that the meteorological information system in G County has detailed records. In September, only three days were rainy, and one of them was Friday - September 13.

This shows that after Master Zhou appeared in the shanty town on September 13, he disappeared. Shaodong felt that the verification of this date provided a time node for finding Master Zhou, and it seemed that it was getting closer and closer to finding out the truth.

So on this day, would it be Zhou Dawei who sneaked into G County and secretly killed Master Zhou, and returned to his hometown overnight. Shaodong reported to the master and asked the master to contact the hlj police to verify Zhou Dawei's specific movements on September 13th.

However, the information fed back disappointed Shaodong. After verification, Zhou Dawei was in his hometown that day and did not have time to commit the crime.

Shao Dong analyzed that since Master Zhou was not killed by Zhou Dawei, who else could be the murderer? According to the situation in control, only Dong Qinghua is the only one who has conflicts with Master Zhou!

Shao Dong decided to secretly find evidence of Dong Qinghua's murder of Master Zhou. As long as Dong Qinghua really did it, it would not leave any trace.

Dong Qinghua has been in G County and has been engaged in funeral services for more than ten years. There is a shop in the western suburbs who specializes in funeral supplies such as wreaths, shrouds, paper men, paper horses, etc.

There is also a hearse that transports the body to the funeral home for cremation.

Shaodong assumed that Dong Qinghua was too tired of harassing Master Zhou, and the two had conflicts. Later, Master Zhou was in a state of madness and hired two killers to assassinate Dong Qinghua and also installed bombs on Dong Qinghua's car. Dong Qinghua was angry and did not do anything. After finding Master Zhou, he killed him, and used his professional convenience to cremate Master Zhou, and then used Master Zhou's mobile phone to send text messages to the people in the address book, creating the illusion that Master Zhou went out to hide from debts.

This assumption is reasonable, but the case cannot be solved by assumptions and speculations, but by evidence. Where did Dong Qinghua kill Master Zhou? Although Dong Qinghua often goes to and from funeral homes, in our country, there are strict procedures for cremation of corpses. It does not mean that anyone can pull the corpse to cremate at will. Where can the evidence be found?

Shaodong came to the shop opened by Dong Qinghua in the western suburbs and asked Dong Qinghua and Dong Qinghua's wife Tao Yuping.

When Shaodong arrived at the store, Dong Qinghua was busy calling customers to sell things. Dong Qinghua's wife Tao Yuping was also there. Shaodong greeted Dong Qinghua and said politely: "Brother Dong, I'll ask you and your wife to find out the situation."

"Oh, OK, Officer Shao, wait until I finish my work. If you have any questions, please let Yuping tell you first, I'll go there later." Dong Qinghua said.

Shao Dong nodded and signaled Tao Yuping to follow him. The two of them came to a relatively quiet place outside the door. Shao Dong took out the record book.

"Sister Tao, I have to trouble you, tell me about the specific situation of Master Zhou's entanglement with you."

Tao Yuping looked at Shaodong's uniform and seemed a little uncomfortable, saying, "Mr. Zhou and I are classmates. I chased me at that time. I didn't agree. Master Zhou has been entangled with me after I got married."

Shao Dong asked: "Then have you ever met him alone?"

"No, I have a complete family, and I can't talk about this for the sake of my children," said Tao Yuping.

"When was the last time you met Master Zhou?" Shao Dong asked.

Tao Yuping recalled and said, "It's been more than half a year. Huazi is busy every day. I was alone at home that day. Master Zhou came to my house and knocked on the door hard. I didn't open it. I called Huazi to come back."

"Where do you work?" Shao Dong asked.

"Work? I'm idle at home, doing housework, picking up and dropping off a child, etc. Huazi earns enough money, so..." said Tao Yuping.

"Have there been any abnormalities in Dong Qinghua over the past six months?" Shao Dong asked,

Tao Yuping thought for a while and said, "What's wrong with eating, sleeping and working?"

"Well, sister, thank you for your cooperation. Please ask Dong Qinghua to come over and I will chat with him alone." Shao Dong said politely.

Tao Yuping walked to the store with a reluctant look on her face and shouted: "Huazi, go, the police officer let you go."

Dong Qinghua was showing the products to the guests. When he heard Tao Yuping calling him, he smiled and said, "Yuping, please help me greet the guests." As he said that, he was about to hand over the funeral equipment in his hand to Tao Yuping.

Tao Yuping pushed Dong Qinghua away, walked into the house angrily, and said to the guest: "That's all, just give money. What's the point of comparing each other? No matter how beautiful the paper horse is, it's still a pile of ashes when it burns."

The customer was dissatisfied and said, "I can't compare my purchases? Of course I want to buy good-looking ones for my money. The funeral shop is not yours, so I won't buy it." After that, he turned around and was about to leave.

Dong Qinghua's face changed, and he didn't dare to have an attack. He smiled at the guest and said, "I'm sorry, sorry." The guest ignored him and turned around and left.

Dong Qinghua turned to his wife and said, "What are you doing?"

Tao Yuping sat down, rolled her eyes at Dong Qinghua, and said mockingly, "What are you doing, I'll do that, you can do it."

Dong Qinghua sighed, walked out the door, smiled awkwardly at Shao Dong and said, "I'll make you laugh."

After inquiry, Dong Qinghua insisted that everything he said was true and did not take any illegal acts against Master Zhou.

However, his wife Tao Yuping's attitude made Shao Dong suspicious. According to Dong Qinghua's confession, his relationship with his wife Tao Yuping has always been very good, and he has not been shaken by Master Zhou's entanglement. However, judging from Tao Yuping's attitude towards Dong Qinghua, it doesn't look like a good relationship at all. Tao Yuping seems to be very resentful, and there is a hint of mocking Dong Qinghua in his words.

Shaodong had an intuition that Dong Qinghua must have problems because he was too qualified to commit crimes and had to go to the funeral home to cremate the body almost every day.

Shaodong learned that if a person wants to go to the funeral home to cremate after death, the first step must be to obtain a death certificate. If he dies in the hospital, the hospital shall issue a death certificate; if he dies due to illness at home, the village committee, neighborhood committee or police station shall issue a death certificate; if he dies due to unconventional reasons, the public security department shall issue a death certificate.

As long as there is a certificate, it can be activated, and the cremation industry will not examine the body.

If Dong Qinghua wants to pretend to die normally after killing Master Zhou, he only needs to go to the village committee to get a death certificate. That is to say, as long as the doubts are found in the spark records of the funeral home, evidence can be found.

All this comes from Shaodong's intuition. At this time, Shaodong was not sure about his assumptions. If he wanted to prove the assumptions, he had to continue investigating them.

Shaodong rushed to the G County Funeral Home. According to the information obtained from the visit, Master Zhou was killed around September 13, so Shaodong found all the cremation records of the funeral home within 10 days around September 13.

Shaodong looked at the dense names and knew that this time was another complicated comparison process, so Shaodong was ready for a long-term struggle.

Fortunately, the system of the funeral home is very strict, the cremation records are relatively detailed, and some even have family address and telephone numbers, etc. Each record in the record book also comes with a copy of the death certificate.

County g is a county with a large population, with the number of people who die and cremated every day, and 300 people in 10 days. This shows the huge workload.

Shaodong eliminated people who died abnormally because abnormal deaths require a death certificate issued by the public security organs to be cremated. The requirements are very strict. Most people cannot get such certificates. The remaining lists of personnel are verified one by one, and by calling, they ask whether the family members of the deceased and the cremated person are the deceased themselves on the list.

If he did not leave a phone number, Shaodong went to search for it one by one according to the address on the record. The whole process lasted for a week.

This week, Shaodong bought some bread when he was hungry, and sucked a few bites. When he was tired, he would lie in the rest room of the funeral home for a while. Even the director of the funeral home knew that a unkempt criminal policeman had come here. The director asked his men to give Shaodong some boiled water and fruits.

The book says that as long as you work hard and grind an iron rod into a needle, as long as you do something with your heart and don’t give up halfway, there will always be a good result.
