Chapter 47 Murder Information
The sect took Liang Wei to Director Zheng's office. Through Liang Wei's narrative, Zheng was half-believing and half-doubting.
Liang Wei first asked if he could reduce his sentence or give him a lighter punishment if he reported others' violations, such as theft, robbery, murder, drug trafficking, etc., if it is true after verification, the punishment can be reduced according to the circumstances until it is exempted from punishment.
Zheng Sukun knew that when the suspect asked such a question, there must be a situation in his mind to explain, and Zheng Sukun also took it seriously.
After Liang Wei received a positive answer, he finally got to the point. According to Liang Wei, when he was drinking with his friend a year ago, he accidentally heard a friend say something that his friend claimed that he had killed someone a few years ago and that he killed his girlfriend. After Zheng asked for further details, Liang Wei was not clear about it.
Zheng Shou frowned and told Liang Wei that you should think clearly. If the situation you reported has been verified by our public security organs, it is indeed true. According to regulations, it can be regarded as a meritorious service. If you fabricate lies in order to reduce sentences, waste police resources, and spend police time, you will get the opposite result.
Liang Wei insisted that he had indeed heard his friend say this.
Zheng Su considered that murder was a serious crime, and the simple clues provided by Liang Wei made people suspicious. Zhao Su thought about it and asked Liang Wei, what is your friend’s name? Tell me about the specific identity information.
Liang Wei said that his friend was Mao Taihua, who was about 30 years old. Liang Wei and Mao Taihua were not very familiar with each other, and they also drank with other friends.
Although the Zheng Office was a little suspicious of the authenticity of the matter, the major matters that mattered human life was not careless, and the solution of the case and the search for the truth were not under his control, so he planned to inform Shaodong immediately. Just as he was about to call, Shaodong and Wang Bo came to see the suspect, the Zheng Office told the two of them about the incident.
After Shao Dong and Wang Bo completed the procedures for the sent criminal suspects, they interrogated Liang Wei.
"I heard from Zheng that you have any important clues to report?" Shao Dong asked.
"Yes, a friend of mine, named Mao Taihua, said he killed his girlfriend a few years ago." Liang Wei said.
"Did he say what his girlfriend's name?" Shao Dong asked.
Liang Wei recalled and said, "It seems that he is Hongzi. I can't remember it very clearly."
"Mao Taihua, do you have any address and phone number?" Shao Dong asked.
"Mao Taihua and I were just nodding. We met through friends when we had dinner, and we never contacted each other." Liang Wei said.
Shao Dong thought for a while and said to Wang Bo: "Bozi, tell Zheng So and borrow the office computer."
"Okay." Wang Bo said and walked out.
"Mao Taihua, is he a local?" Shao Dong asked Liang Wei.
"Yes, the local accent." Liang Wei replied.
"I should remember my appearance." Shao Dong asked.
"Remembering means remembering, having an impression, but not very clear," said Liang Wei.
"Okay, come with me. Let's take a closer look in the public security household registration network." Shao Dong said.
Shao Dong led Liang Wei, who was handcuffed, to the computer, and Wang Bo was operating the computer.
"Bozi, go to the household registration website and find a local named Mao Taihua." Shao Dong said.
Wang Bo logged into the public security's internal household registration network and started searching. More than 40 locals named Mao Taihua popped up in the computer.
"Pick out those who are about thirty years old and let Liang Wei identify them." Shao Dong said.
"Is this the case?" Wang Bo asked.
"No."
"this?"
"no."
"this?"
“Can the photo be enlarged?”
Wang Bo enlarged the portrait in his household registration and asked Liang Wei to identify it.
"It seems... it's him, it should be him." Liang Wei said.
"Look carefully, is this person?" Shao Dong asked.
"Yes, it must be yes. Look at a black mole under your mouth, and it is this person." Liang Wei said affirmatively.
"Okay, Liang Wei, we will thoroughly investigate what you said. If it is true, we will be looking for you." Shao Dong said. Two prison guards took Liang Wei back to the cell.
Mao Taihua, male, 29 years old, from Maozhai Village, western suburbs of G County.
Shaodong called to report to Wu Jianguo. Wu Jianguo said: "Based on the words Liang Wei heard while drinking with his friends, it is not very credible. There is no specific time, place and background of the characters. Generally, after verification, it is often fake. However, life is at stake. You and Xiao Wang must verify it as quickly as possible."
Shaodong and Wang Bo rushed to Maozhai Village, which is the urban-rural fringe of G County. In recent years, the suburbs have been developed and demolished. Maozhai Village has changed from the original thatched hut bungalow to the now uniformly planned two-story building and several high-rise commercial and residential buildings.
Shaodong decided not to alert the enemy. He first investigated Mao Taihua from the side. The two of them inquired about passers-by and found the neighborhood committee of Maozhai Village. Since the state launched urbanization construction, the sign hanging in front of the newly built second-story office building of Maozhai Village Committee has also changed from a village committee to a neighborhood committee.
After showing his identity and explaining his purpose, the staff of the neighborhood committee introduced Mao Taihua's life.
Mao Taihua is relatively introverted and has no bad habits. He rarely deals with neighbors in the village, nor has he heard of any conflicts with anyone. He is a person who is indifferent to the world.
Mao Taihua got married four years ago and now has a three-year-old son. He is currently working in a private enterprise in the county.
In recent years, Mao Taihua has been living in Maozhai Village and has not noticed any abnormal behavior in his life.
The most eye-catching thing about Mao Taihua was before getting married. Mao Taihua did date a girlfriend named Honghong. The staff had a deep impression of Honghong because Honghong spoke Mandarin and dressed very fashionablely, and was not a local.
Because Honghong is a foreigner, both customs and living habits are somewhat different from locals. Mao Taihua's family did not agree to the relationship between the two. Mao Taihua was devoted to Honghong. During a dispute with his family, Mao Taihua and his family ran away from home and went to the house rented by Honghong. He had not returned home for a long time.
This incident was very rumored in the village at that time, because Mao Taihua was usually a very obedient child. Some people in the village said that Xiaohua was fascinated by the little vixen from other places.
After Shao Dong and Wang Bo received this news, they began to conduct secret visits to the neighbors around Mao Taihua's address. A man confirmed from the mouth that Mao Taihua did make a big fuss with his family before getting married, and moved outside to rent a house for more than a year, and the house he rented was not far from the entrance of the village.
After comparing these situations, Shao Dong and Wang Bo briefly discussed the case.
Wang Bo said: "From the situation in my grasp, Mao Taihua has a deep relationship with his girlfriend Xiaohong. He can run away from home and rent a house with Xiaohong outside despite his family's opposition. So how could he kill a woman he loves so deeply? And if Mao Taihua killed someone, ordinary suspects would quickly escape from the place where the crime was committed. But if Mao Taihua killed someone, how could he stay safely in the local area and get married and have children? According to the motive for the murder, this is incomprehensible."
"If you want to find out whether the incident happened five years ago, you must find Xiaohong's whereabouts. How can you find Xiaohong? The only clue now is the rental house where Xiaohong and Mao Taihua once lived together, Bozi. Let's find the landlord of the rental house now. Logically speaking, the landlord should know a certain situation." Shao Dong said.
According to the address obtained during the visit, the two came to the rental house where Mao Taihua and Xiaohong had lived five years ago and found the landlord.
The landlord is a middle-aged woman. According to the landlord, the house where Mao Taihua and Xiaohong lived had been demolished during the renovation of the town two years ago and the current two-story building was rebuilt.
The landlord remembers the real name of Mao Taihua's girlfriend very clearly. Because Xiaohong had lived here before Mao Taihua had a conflict with his family. Later, Mao Taihua moved over and lived with Xiaohong. At that time, Xiaohong signed a rental contract with the landlord. When signing, the landlord discovered that Xiaohong's surname was very rare.
Xiaohong's big name is Mi Hong. The landlord didn't know the word "Mi", so he asked about the pronunciation of the word "Xiaohong".
Shaodong said to the landlord: "We will find Mi Hong's photos when we go back. I will come and ask you to help you identify them."
After obtaining this important clue, Shaodong and Wang Bo hurried back to the county bureau.
Shaodong logged into the missing person database to query, but no one named "Mi Hong" was found, which means that Mi Hong's family did not report the case.
He logged into the national resident identity information query system and found 35 citizens named Mi Hong.
Based on Mi Hong's age group in the case, 19 people who met the conditions were identified, and then the photos from the information of these 19 people were printed out.
Taking these photos, the two came to Maozhai Village again and found the landlord.
After careful identification by the landlord, one of them was picked out from the 19 photos and said with certainty: "It's this. I'm very familiar with it. She has lived here for more than a year. This is Xiaohong."
Mi Hong in the photo is from L City, GZ Province, 28 years old, and L City is more than 1,000 kilometers away from G County. The two thanked the landlord and returned to the first squadron of the county bureau.
When I returned to the bureau, it was getting late. Shaodong and Wang Bo went to the cafeteria to have dinner and chat while eating.
"Brother Dong, what should we do next?" Wang Bo asked.
"We are divided into two groups. You can report to Team Wu tomorrow morning and ask Team Wu to contact the police in City L to ask them to investigate the current situation of Mi Hong. I will go to the bank to check Mi Hong's deposit and withdrawal records this year." Shao Dong said with clear thoughts.
"I understand that as long as a person is alive, he will have a life trajectory. The expenses in life are generally inseparable from banks. Therefore, by checking the bank records, you can tell whether Mi Hong is still alive." Wang Bo said.
"It's just a reference basis. Maybe if the police in City L can cooperate, the situation will be found out immediately." Shao Dong said.
"Well, eat quickly, go home to sleep after eating." Wang Bo said.
"Eat less, I'm calling you to lose weight every day, but I haven't seen you eat less." Shao Dong said with a smile.
"I'm so tired recently. Why don't I be full?" Wang Bo ate in a big mouthful.
