1.
Han Mangui lived on the mountainside of Half Mountain Village, so he had to pass through the lower half of the village to reach the upper half. The possibility of strangers entering the upper half of the village was very small. In the past few decades, there were people who stole vegetables, but today's incident had never happened.
Han Mangui was a big sheep breeder. He had more than 20 female sheep at home. After mating with the Small Tailed Han Sheep, they would have more than 100 in a few months. The sheep pen was definitely not enough, so he needed to expand it. He sold four ewe to the villagers in the upper half of the village and earned 800 yuan. In the evening, the villagers drank together. This was the habit of the villagers. When buying and selling large items, they had to invite a few villagers to be present as witnesses. After the transaction, they had to drink together. The wine was provided by the buyer, and the vegetables were brought by each person. They drank until nine o'clock before they parted ways. The drinking location was Han Mangui's house.
Everyone watched as they collected the money. After counting the money, Han Mangui placed the money into a two-foot-long wooden box in front of everyone and locked it. He then placed the wooden box into a cabinet that was only available in the countryside. Only then did he start drinking. This was also Han Mangui's room, so it should be the safest. After the banquet was over, Han Mangui sent everyone to the entrance of the courtyard. There was an elder in his seventies, so Han Mangui sent him home. It had only been fifteen minutes since he left the house. When he looked at the small box in the cabinet, he realized that the money was gone. There were originally more than two hundred yuan in the box, which added up to more than a thousand yuan. They were all used to buy materials for the expansion of the sheep pen. Han Mangui could not take it anymore when the money was gone. He ran to the village chief's house in a huff.
Zhao Tiewei immediately called the township police station. The person who answered the phone was the station chief, Cao Chunping. He was on duty today and heard Zhao Tiewei's report. He simply said,"Get the victim to protect the scene. I'll be there immediately.”
Cao Chunping was the director of the police station in Kaoshantun Village. He was thirty-three years old this year and was a top student at the provincial police academy. After graduating at the age of twenty-two, he was assigned to the Criminal Investigation Brigade of Fengshan County Police Station. In ten years, he had become the captain of the county's criminal police brigade and had been listed as a reserve candidate for the deputy director of the county bureau. Because of a case, he offended a certain leader and was sent to the village police station to be the director. Although they were all of the same rank, their authority was much lower. Naturally, the reserve position of deputy director was also removed. He had been in Reliance Village for almost a year, and he had always been quiet and low-key.
Cao Chunping rode a three-wheeled police motorcycle and brought a policeman to Banshan Village. Zhao Tiewei, Old Uncle Han, and the others had already arrived at Han Mangui's house to protect the scene. After Cao Chunping arrived at the scene, he asked Han Mangui about what had happened. He asked about the names of the six people who had attended the banquet, their families 'financial situation, and their personal personalities. He then walked from Han Mangui's front door to the other five families except for the 70-year-old elder. However, he did not enter the house and only walked to the door.
When she returned to Han Mangui's house, she asked,"Did you hear your dog barking on the way home?"”Han Mangui answered with certainty. The dogs in the neighborhood had a strange habit. When one dog barked, the dogs in the neighborhood would bark too. Sometimes, all the dogs in the village would bark at the same time.
Cao Chunping kept nodding. He said,"Wait outside. Don't go in.”
He brought the police officer with him into the house. Five or six minutes later, Cao Chunping came out again. He asked the police officer and Uncle Han to invite the five people who were drinking here, except for the elder in his seventies. Old Uncle Han and Han Mangui left together.
Zhao Tiewei had never seen the police solve a case before, so he was very interested and watched from the side. "Inspector Cao, is this case complicated?"”
Cao Chunping smiled and said,"Village Head Zhao, don't worry. I'll work hard."”Zhao Tiewei did not react for a moment. Village Head Zhao? Seeing Cao Chunping smile at him, he remembered that he was talking about himself. This was the first person to call him township head.
"Do you have any other instructions?"
These words made Zhao Tiewei feel a little dizzy. Directions? He could also give instructions. Although he was not used to it, it was very useful. "Not really, I just wanted to help you."”
As they spoke, everyone who was drinking at night had arrived. Cao Chunping called the five of them into a room, and Zhao Tiewei followed Cao Chunping into the room. Only another policeman stood at the door with an electric baton in his hand. He stood at the door and looked at the sky as if everything had nothing to do with him.
Inside the house, Cao Chunping had the five of them stand in a row with their backs against the wall. Cao Chunping placed four things on the table: a magnifying glass, a transparent tape that was three inches long, a box of red ink, and a piece of white paper.
Cao Chun said to the five people without even raising his head,"Let me tell you first, the party's policy is leniency to those who confess and severity to those who resist. By the way, the person who stole the money from the box left a fingerprint.”He picked up the tape and said," That person's fingerprints are here. You should know that.”
Suddenly, Cao Chunping raised his head and scanned everyone from left to right.
"You should know that everyone's fingerprints are different in the world. Whoever's fingerprint matches the fingerprint on this tape will be the perpetrator. This was science and evidence. Even if you don't admit it, you can still be convicted and sentenced.”
He pointed at the middle-aged man on the right and said,""You, come here." He pushed the red ink over and said,"Dip it in red oil and press ten fingerprints on this piece of paper."”
The middle-aged man obeyed. He made ten hand seals with both hands. Cao Chunping picked up a magnifying glass and looked at the red handprint and the handprint on the tape together. After two to three minutes, he said,"Go home. Thank you for your cooperation."
The middle-aged man did not say a word and quickly walked out. Cao Chunping pointed at the second person in his thirties and said,""You! Pressing your hand!" After carefully observing the handprint, they were allowed to pass.
Zhao Tiewei thought to himself, Is this reliable? It was too simple! Another person came up, pressed his fingerprint, compared, and let him in.
There were only two people left. Cao Chunping suddenly stopped working and took out a cigarette to light himself. After a minute, he said,"For the sake of your family and your family's reputation, I have to say a few more words. You may not know the law, but theft of more than 200 yuan can be sentenced to more than a year in prison. A grand theft of 1,000 yuan could be sentenced to more than three years in prison. There was another law that stipulated that theft was a major crime and the punishment would be doubled. In other words, if the person who stole the money today was caught, he would have to suffer at least six years in prison. His family would also be unable to raise their heads in the village and be able to live a good life. One person would make the whole family restless. However, I heard that each of you drank more than half a catty of white wine tonight. It's hard to say if it's a joke. If he drank too much and made a big joke, the result would be different if he took out the money. It's not too late to say it now!"
Cao Chunping suddenly raised his voice."Do we still need to check the handprint?" Zhao Tiewei was shocked.
Cao Chunping shouted with all his might. A man in his thirties collapsed and cried,"I was joking!"
The police officer standing at the door quickly walked over and handcuffed the man's hands. "Where's the money chest?" he shouted.”
The man cried and said,"It's buried in my woodpile."”
A group of people escorted him to the wooden box and found it there. Cao Chunping said to Zhao Tiewei,"Village Head Zhao, thank you for your support." I'll go back and give the prisoner a statement first. She still has to be sent to the county."
Zhao Tiewei didn't know what to say. He stepped forward and held Cao Chunping's hand."Well done. I'll look for you when I reach the village!”
The local police station was at the official level, and the public security department was semi-militarized. The concept of superior and subordinate was very important. The local police station also had to accept the leadership of the village. Therefore, Cao Chunping respected Zhao Tiewei very much. He had suffered too much because he did not respect his leader.
Zhao Tiewei witnessed Cao Chunping's case with his own eyes. He was puzzled. How did he know that the fingerprints on the tape belonged to the thief?
