The police finally found He Xuekun's family in Mei City, a neighboring city in Jiang City, and brought them back to Jiang City for investigation and interrogation.
As a result, He Xuekun's suspicion was cleared.
First of all, he didn't have the time to commit the crime. On the night of the 20th, he was out discussing business with someone. He drank and ate until the latter half of the night. At that time, he intended to sell the shop. The person who ate with him was the buyer.
The reason why He Xuekun's family suddenly left Jiang City was because they had encountered a big problem!
The reason he went to Lu Quanyou on April 18th was because of that big problem…He owed a loan shark! He Xuekun was also a gambler who had gambled for many years. In March this year, he lost money at the casino. In order to avoid closing the shop and maintain his family's expenses, he borrowed money from a loan shark.
He wanted to make up for the debt after he earned money, but he did not learn his lesson. He wanted to rely on gambling to make up for the debt in one go, but he lost everything.
Since the beginning of April, He Xuekun had been collecting debts everywhere. Lu Quanyou was just one of them.
He Xuekun did not collect much money, but the loan sharks had already started to chase after the debt. Therefore, He Xuekun thought of running away. He went overseas to hide from the debt. On the 23rd, his family suddenly disappeared, which meant that he ran away!
He Xuekun was listed as a key suspect mainly because of his sudden disappearance. His motive for committing the crime did not return. 45,000 yuan was not enough for him to kill, so his suspicion was quickly cleared.
Zhang Yang flipped the page again.
The last important suspect.
Liu Bo, male, 28 years old, unemployed.
Liu Bo was originally Lu Quanyou's little brother and one of Lu Quanyou's bad friends who gambled with him. He did not do his job all day and was not much better than Lu Quanyou.
At the beginning of this year, he had a conflict with Lu Quanyou over cheating at cards. Lu Quanyou slapped him and they did not play cards together for two months. It was not until mid-March that the two met at a casino. After being matchmade by a card friend, they finally reconciled.
According to Lu Quanyou's friends, Liu Bo had been a thief for the past few years and had been caught many times. The last time he stole was three years ago when he was caught by the victim and his left hand was broken with a steel pipe. After receiving tens of thousands of yuan as compensation, he did not dare to steal again.
After the conflict between Liu Bo and Lu Quanyou, Liu Bo had said many times in private that he wanted to mess with Lu Quanyou. Liu Bo was young and impetuous. After being slapped in public, he had been brooding over it. The relationship between him and Lu Quanyou was fake, and many of his other mahjong friends could prove this.
Liu Bo once told them after getting drunk that he wanted Lu Quanyou to kneel down and call him master.
These clues were not the reason why Liu Bo was considered a key suspect.
The direct reason for Liu Bo's arrest was because of a necklace!
On the day of Lu Quanyou's murder, a batch of gold and silver jewelry was stolen. These gold and silver jewelry were all bought by Lu Quanyou for Li Mei over the years. It was only after Li Mei explained how many valuable things were stolen from Lu Quanyou's house that the police confirmed.
On the day Li Mei and Lu Quanyou parted ways, she didn't dare to take away the gold and silver jewelry, afraid that Lu Quanyou would find out and wouldn't let her go.
After the police confirmed that the gold and silver jewelry was missing, they sent someone to contact all the gold and silver jewelry stores in the city. The murderer took the gold and silver jewelry. Because it was stolen, it might be discovered if he took it out, so he might sell it or go to the gold store to melt it and make a gold ring or something.
The police really found this clue.
According to the shop owner's records, a total of eight people went to the gold shop to smelt gold and sell gold jewelry after the incident.
The police found a stolen gold necklace according to the time of registration and the surveillance video. According to the surveillance video, they confirmed the seller's appearance--it was Liu Bo!
Liu Bo was arrested on the same day!
However, the result of the interrogation surprised everyone. Liu Bo had stolen the gold necklace, and not from Lu Quanyou's house, but from Li Mei's. It was from the foot massage shop where Li Mei worked!
Lu Quanyou, Li Mei, Liu Bo, and a bunch of scoundrels. They were in the same circle, so they knew each other well.
According to Liu Bo, he stole the necklace on April 27th!
This was wrong! Li Mei had told her that she did not take the necklace away. Lu Quanyou was killed on April 20th at Lu Quanyou's house. The gold and silver jewelry should have been stolen on the same day.
Why was it with Li Mei?
Hence, the police summoned Li Mei again. In the end, Li Mei remembered wrongly!
Because the crime happened on May 11th, the police summoned Li Mei for the first time on May 12th and brought her to the crime scene. Li Mei followed the police to check the scene again and found that some gold and silver jewelry and money were missing.
When she returned to the foot massage shop, she took out some gold and silver jewelry that Lu Quanyou had bought for her.
She used the elimination method to determine what was missing based on the gold and silver jewelry in her hands. After all, there were too many. If she only remembered it, she would not be able to remember it.
Liu Bo had stolen her gold necklace on April 27th. She cooperated with the police on May 12th and found out that the necklace was missing. She thought that it was because she didn't get it back from Lu Quanyou, so she told the police that it was stolen.
This was a misunderstanding!
The police also retrieved the foot-massage shop's surveillance footage on April 27th and confirmed that Liu Bo had indeed been there that day. He went upstairs and stayed for two hours before leaving.
In addition, on April 20th, Liu Bo played cards with people all night, and there were many witnesses.
Therefore, Liu Bo was cleared of the suspicion of killing Lu Quanyou, but he was detained for theft. Because the case was relatively minor, it did not cause much harm, and the case value was relatively low. When the lady's necklace was bought, it was only 2,000 yuan.
Therefore, Liu Bo had only been locked up for 15 days for theft and had been released.
Five key suspects, two months of investigation, and all the clues were gone! This case wasn't that big. It wasn't even comparable to the rape and murder cases that Zhang Yang had solved before. Even if a scumbag was killed, there wouldn't be too much negative impact.
This was because Lu Quanyou's death would most likely be thought of as a scoundrel who had provoked someone he shouldn't have, or an honest person who had been driven to desperation! Many people were still applauding his death.
But the case was really messy!
In the end, all five leads were dead ends. Now, the case had reached a stalemate.
What was worth mentioning was…
The Dasheng Estate that Lu Quanyou rented was an old estate with a history of 30 years. Not only were there no surveillance cameras at the entrance of the apartment building, but there were also no guards at the entrance of the estate. Of course, there were no surveillance cameras either. This estate did not charge property management fees.
Now.
There wasn't a single clue that could be traced!
After Zhang Yang finished reading the case file, he picked up the photos taken by the police at that time and looked through them one by one. Then, he flipped to the first page of the case file again. He wanted to look at it again.
The Criminal Investigation Unit of the branch had really put in a lot of effort into this case. The investigation was already detailed enough. If they looked at it again, perhaps they would find something!
" Little Zhang, are you done reading?" Feng Jian finally spoke." Stop reading. This case…is very difficult to solve!" I think the Key Case Investigation Unit will be disbanded in another ten days to half a month. I advise you to still get involved. You just came, so you have to perform well and not let Chief Li down…"
"Captain Feng!" Zhang Yang looked up at Feng Jian." I'll take this case. I'll join the Major Crimes Division."”
"Ding! The 511 Corpse Case mission has been issued. Host, please solve the case within seven days.”A notification sounded in Zhang Yang's mind.
