Life is a matter of life! Csi announced a temporary recess on the spot, and the participants immediately followed him to the scene to find out.
The canal finally appeared vaguely in people's sight. By the light of a flashlight, several people used branches to pry open rotten weeds. Csi and all the people present almost believed the villagers' story, because there was a mutilated skeleton under the scattered rotten grass.
A few minutes later, the confirmed news has been reported to Beichen Branch of Tianjin Public Security Bureau through 1 10. After receiving the report, the director of the sub-bureau and Nie, the deputy director in charge of criminal investigation, immediately instructed Interpol and the police station to send personnel quickly. The deputy detachment leader immediately mobilized the criminal investigation technicians to rush to the scene, and then the relevant personnel of the Criminal Investigation Bureau also drove there.
The site is located outside a village in Shuang Jie Town, Beichen District, in an abandoned canal near the east side of Beijing-Tianjin Highway. According to preliminary forensic identification, the body is female, with a height of about 1.60m and an age of 25-30. The body has been badly decomposed and burned. Her arm was cut off, her face was destroyed by a blunt instrument, and most of her soft tissue was cut off by a knife. From the analysis of the scene, it can be concluded that this is not a murder scene, but a body that was killed and dumped here.
Judging from the geographical location of the site, the canal is located to the east of the Beijing-Tianjin Highway and far from the village. If we assume that the killer came here to dump the body, it is likely that he came from the city to the north.
There are basically no other clues to refer to except these intuitive things at the scene.
Through the careful investigation of the local police station and case handlers in Beichen District and the villages around the dumping site for several days, it was found that there were no missing persons in the surrounding areas in recent days, which basically ruled out the possibility that the deceased lived in Beichen before his death.
So why did the murderer leave the body in this remote suburban canal? Is the first murder scene somewhere in Beichen District? Or the killer has a certain internal connection with Beichen.
Determining the identity of the deceased is the key to deciphering this mystery. The task force immediately turned its focus to all districts in the city and quickly issued an investigation report to all districts in the city to find missing women who met the conditions of the deceased in the near future.
At this time, the technicians at the scene made an important discovery: from the mouth of the corpse, the technicians unexpectedly found that the molars of the upper right teeth of the deceased were retracted. After technical inspection, it was found that the dentures were porcelain and metal, and the three dentures of the left lower tooth were also porcelain.
With this important discovery, the investigators visited several famous stomatological hospitals in the city separately. The final conclusions of the dental experts are as follows: First, the four dentures embedded in the mouth of the deceased are located around 600 yuan. The total cost should be more than 3000 yuan; Secondly, judging from the health status of the deceased's teeth, it is possible for the deceased to go to the dental hospital regularly for dental care and oral health care before his death; Thirdly, from the analysis of teeth made of metal and porcelain, doctors who can insert such teeth must have certain technical level and equipment, which is difficult for an unlicensed dentist in the street to do.
If you can take a dental implant to the dentist, you will definitely recall something about the deceased before his death, because the dentist was deeply impressed by this expensive patient.
This conclusion shows that the living conditions of the deceased were good, and the economic income should at least reach the white-collar class. It is by no means an ordinary working class, nor is it a part-time job.
With this clue, the task force immediately dispersed and began to visit more than a dozen stomatological hospitals in Tianjin. However, a few days have passed, and the investigation work has basically made no progress.
While visiting dentists was in full swing, a news of missing people caught their attention: According to the report of Tianjin Hexi Branch, on June 20, 2003, Chen Mou, a resident of a residential area in Hexi District, reported to the police that his wife Liu Ling suddenly disappeared on June 18 and was driving a white Li Xia car when she disappeared. Ask the police to help find it.
In addition, an ownerless white Li Xia car was found in a residential area near a party school in Nankai District. According to people around, the car came a few days ago. The driver is a man and a woman. The man is about 30 years old, carrying a leather bag and walking in a mysterious way. This woman is about 20 years old. After they drove in, they got out of the car and left, never to be seen again.
After verifying the license plate with the vehicle management office of the Municipal Traffic Management Bureau, it was confirmed that the owner was Liu Ling who had been missing for many days. Liu Ling, 27, married, graduated from a university in Tianjin, and was a cadre in the Personnel Department of a bureau in Tianjin before his death.
So, is this mutilated body the missing Liu Ling?
Investigators soon found Liu Ling's mother, and her testimony confirmed that Liu Ling did have several sets of dentures in the dental hospital, and they were high-grade dentures made of metal and ceramics. For the sake of accuracy, they did DNA identification on the deceased and Liu Ling's mother, and finally determined that the deceased was Liu Ling who had been missing for many days.
According to Liu Ling's husband Chen Mou, before Liu Ling's disappearance, the two were divorcing because of emotional disharmony, and Liu Ling himself was busy with various immigration procedures, and his mood was basically stable.
On July 4th, the "6. 18" homicide case task force composed of the Municipal Criminal Investigation Bureau, Beichen and Hexi Interpol was established.
After extensive investigation on the social relations of the deceased, the police did not find out who the deceased had debts or emotional grievances with before his death. It's just that Liu Ling was busy going abroad before she disappeared. She borrowed money from many colleagues and friends. We can basically rule out the possibility of love killing.
At noon on the day of Liu Ling's disappearance, Liu Ling was seen coming out of the yard in her Li Xia car. Nothing unusual was found. However, since the night of 18, Liu Ling's cell phone has been turned off.
Colleagues in the unit also reflected. On June 17 and June 18, a Mandarin speaker called his office in Liu Ling three times. At that time, Liu Xia went to the grassroots to inspect, and she seemed to be a quiet person.
Judging from the analysis of the corpse at the scene, the murderer brutally dismembered the corpse and even disfigured it, indicating that the deceased was very familiar with the murderer before his death. Its purpose is to prevent the police from confirming the true identity of the deceased, so as to avoid legal sanctions and not rule out the possibility of killing for money.
Is there really such a mysterious person out of the sight of the police?
In people's daily life, everyone's social relations, such as intertwined, intimate friends, girlfriends, old classmates, friends, even the closest people can make it clear. Liu Ling's social interaction is complicated, which is even more difficult to explain. Just when the case detection was deadlocked, an important clue brought a new turn for the case detection.
/kloc-at 2 o'clock in the night of June, 0/8, Xiaoyan, a villager in Beichen District, was riding a motorcycle on her way home. On a country road near Beijing-Tianjin Highway, he found a car parked quietly in the shadow of the roadside. Xiaoyan almost ran head-on because she didn't turn on the light. Fortunately, he dodged flexibly, but the frightened Xiao Yan saw two people in the car. The driver must be a man, and the people next to him didn't see it clearly. Yan, who usually likes to play with cars, recognized it as a Geely car at a glance. I didn't see the color of the car clearly just because it was dark. It may be gray or light yellow.
According to Zou's identification at the scene, the place where he met the car was only a dozen meters away from the scene of dumping the body. At this point, it can be determined that a man and a woman were involved in killing or dumping the body. But it is difficult to explain that the white Li Xia car was abandoned by the deceased, but a light-colored Geely car appeared at the scene? It seems that the killer has something to do with this mysterious Geely car.
In the investigation surrounding the social relations of the deceased before his death, several men who were included in the police's sight were excluded one after another. Finally, a suspect named Lu Peng rose quietly.
Lu Peng, 28, and the deceased Liu Ling were high school classmates. He graduated from Nankai University with a bachelor's degree. He is unmarried and works as a salesman in an import and export company in Tianjin. According to police investigations, Lu and Liu have been in frequent contact recently. Especially before and after the incident, Lu Peng's own activities were suspicious.
First of all, on the afternoon of Liu Ling's disappearance, Lu Peng himself didn't go to work, but when the police asked him about his activities that day, he said that he had been working at work all day, which was obviously a lie. Secondly, before the incident, he kept in constant contact with Liu Ling, but when the police asked him to know the situation, he tried to avoid or even denied it. Lu Peng's girlfriend Song Yan works in a company in Beichen Development Zone. From the location of the unit, the Beijing-Tianjin Highway is the only place to pass. Lu Peng is no stranger to the geographical location of Beichen, because he often travels between the urban area and Beichen.
When Lu Peng, who had never dealt with the police, first faced the criminal police, he still looked very smart and even behaved very calmly. It seems that he had expected that the police would come to his head, so he tried his best to excuse himself from the perspective of a bystander.
"Liu Ling and I are just friends. We just call each other at ordinary times. This spring, she asked me to borrow money. I have money, but I don't want to lend it to her, so I have been looking for excuses to delay. /kloc-On the morning of June, 0/8, she called me to borrow money again. I made up my mind to refuse her, so I called her this afternoon. But while we were talking, I heard Liu Ling's phone suddenly ring. I don't know who called her, but she just hung up on me after saying hello. "
The implication is self-evident: besides him, there may be a mysterious person named Liu Ling.
However, the police were not confused by the illusion he set. Because the "suspicious place" he provided just confirmed his inner emptiness. This undoubtedly aroused his suspicion.
It is understood that Lu Peng himself has a vacant room in the city center. He claimed to have lent it to his single friend Zhao. On the day of the incident, Zhao didn't come back, but he came here with a strange young woman.
One morning in late June, Lu Peng suddenly did a lot of cleaning work in the house, scrubbing the floor with a clean mop, making the corridor full of water; What is even more surprising is that a puppy raised by a neighbor downstairs suddenly ran upstairs abnormally, desperately sniffing the water stains on the ground.
While investigating Lu Peng, a young woman named Wang Li was also brought into the sight of the police. Wang Li, 28, graduated from a famous university in Tianjin and is married. After graduation, she was in charge of foreign trade import and export in a company in the city. She is in frequent contact with Lu Peng. She usually drives a metallic yellow Geely car.
After investigation, it was confirmed that on the day of the incident, Wang Li drove a Geely car to Lu Peng's home.
On July 8, according to the unified deployment of the task force, the two men acted at the same time and arrested the suspects Lu Peng and Wang Li in their work units respectively. Lu Peng, summoned by the police, remained calm on the surface, but he could not hide his extreme emptiness and fear. After 7 hours of confrontation, faced with a lot of evidence and exposed lies, at dawn, the mystery of the case was finally uncovered. The murderer was Lu Peng, and Wang Li was an accomplice who helped him transport and dump the body.
Born in 1975, Lu Peng grew up in a better environment than other peers. He grew up in a Kochi family and hardly experienced many setbacks in life. 1994, he was admitted to the Economics Department of Nankai University, and his career and family built a smooth sailing boat for him almost at the same time. After joining the work, his economic income and social status are also the best among his peers. The sunshine of life shines on the life he just started without stint.
Lu Peng's father is the boss of a state-owned enterprise in Tianjin, and his mother is a senior teacher in a middle school. In this family with superior living environment, Lu Peng received strict family education and formal education since childhood. Parents also gave the only child great hope. From elementary school to high school, he has always been the best among his peers.
With the increase of age, the psychological communication between Lu Peng and his parents gradually decreases. Fathers who are busy with work all day care little about their sons in their infancy, and only mothers will ask about things between school and classmates. As a result, gradually alienated from his parents, he began to look for another kind of care. He learned to smoke and began to fall in love with girls in the same grade. But for him, who is talented, these disturbances did not stop him from going to the university campus. 1993 was admitted to Tianjin Nankai University, majoring in economics. His love with Song Yan began in college, but his relationship with Liu Ling should be traced back to high school.
They were classmates in the same grade at that time. Liu Ling is smart, lively and active, and is keen on all kinds of social contacts. In high school, although there were many contacts, they were only normal contacts between boys and girls, leaving almost no touching or touching memories for each other.
After graduating from high school, Liu Ling was admitted to a university in Tianjin. They almost lost contact because they were busy with their studies. When she was a sophomore, Lu Peng was invited to attend a family dinner hosted by her classmates and met Liu Ling by accident. Although the separation time is not long, the reunion of old friends is still very touching.
The meeting reconnected them. For example, let Lu Peng buy some goods that are in short supply, or ask him for some ideas on some things, so that telephone contact or occasional parties gradually deepen mutual trust. Even so, the relationship between them did not follow. Because Lu Peng and Song Yan are classmates, they have deep feelings. Therefore, Liu Ling is just an ordinary friend to him.
This day has been transferred to Lu Peng's junior year. One day, Liu Ling, who hadn't seen him for a long time, suddenly came to the dormitory to find him and said that he wanted to ask him to keep a bag of valuables for him. Lu Peng asked what it was. Liu Ling said you don't have to ask, just give it back to me then. Then handed him a tightly wrapped plastic bag.
Lu Peng has always been puzzled by her mysterious behavior. Although he hid the bag in the most hidden place in the dormitory, he always felt a sense of fear. He began to suspect that there might be drugs in the package. If so, if the public security bureau finds him, he will be covered with his mouth, and I'm afraid I can't tell. Inclined to self-protection, one night after half a month, he poured all the white powder into the toilet and washed it away with water.
Ten days later, one night, Liu Ling suddenly called and said that she was going to get something in the evening. He had to lie that he accidentally threw it away, and the other party flew into a rage. Ask him why he destroyed other people's things without permission. Lu Peng repeatedly explained his apology, and the other party finally forgave him angrily.
After that, they lost contact for a time, until they graduated from college and both had jobs, and their relationship was restored by an accidental class reunion.
In his spare time, Lv Yepeng likes surfing the Internet, playing football and chatting with friends. Although he is past the age of marriage and has a girlfriend who has been in love for many years, he still chooses a carefree life. Don't want to step into the track of marriage too early.
Due to business contacts, he met Wang Li, a female salesman of another foreign trade company. Although it is a business cooperation relationship, mutual trust is high.
The most uncomfortable thing for Lu Peng is Liu Ling. After contacting him, she often calls suddenly, and her words vaguely reveal her understanding and sympathy for him, occasionally mentioning the white powder he washed away.
This makes Lu Peng always have a shadow of fear. He tried to get rid of it, but all his efforts failed.
One day in April 2003, Liu Ling suddenly called Lu Peng and said he wanted to borrow some money from him. Lu Peng wanted to push it off, but the tone of the other party began to harden. As soon as he opened his mouth, he offered to borrow 40 thousand yuan. Lu Peng began to refuse, but the other party immediately turned over old scores, saying that it was not good for anyone to get out. She even threatened Lu and so on with Wang Li's intimate personal relationship.
After listening, Lu Peng suddenly became angry. He doesn't know through what channels the other party knows so much about him. He thought that if his girlfriend knew everything, the consequences would be unimaginable; But what makes him tremble most is the bag of mysterious white powder. In case the public security bureau investigates, he can't say clearly even if he covers his mouth. His fragile psychological defense line is now crumbling.
After more than a month of repeated thinking, he made up his mind to spend money to settle the matter. So she verbally promised to meet and talk. In the morning, Liu Ling drove to the unit to find him. Lu Peng was afraid that his colleagues would know the bad influence, so he sat in the car and talked. Her main purpose was to borrow money, and Lu Peng almost agreed in a very unbalanced state.
The next afternoon, Lu Peng saw off a friend who borrowed a house and invited her to the house in the city center. I wanted to talk to her about bargaining again, but who wanted the other party to give in, but it soon fell through.
Liu Ling turned to go angrily at that time, but Lu Peng, who was guilty, pulled her back and said that she wanted to talk again. But the other price just won't let go. Lu Peng, who is angry, scold, are you still a fucking person? Then she kicked her in the stomach. Liu Ling fell on his back, and her head just hit the corner of the table. Her head was smashed into a hole, and her face was bleeding. She fell to the ground.
Lv Peng and Liu Ling sat until dark. Liu Ling didn't recover, and Lv Peng panicked. When he found that Liu Ling's nose was not breathing, he was really stupid. He never imagined that it would be such a terrible ending in the end. He smoked half a box of cigarettes while waiting and decided to get rid of the body first, so he found a knife from the kitchen to dismember the body and put it in a box and a bag respectively.
He couldn't move the body by himself, so he thought of Wang Li, the most trusted one, and called Wang Li immediately. After Wang Li came in, she blindfolded Wang Li first, then pulled her into the house and told her the story of the murder. Wang Li is very nervous. But I promised him to help with the body.
They studied until midnight, and finally Lu Peng decided to throw the body near Beichen District, which is far away from the city.
In the middle of the night, Lu Peng drove and pulled the body straight to Beichen. On the way, they bought gasoline. They drove in the wild for a while and finally found a canal in the wild. They were about to start work when suddenly there was a motorcycle light in the distance, which scared them to hide in the car for a long time. After burning the body and abandoning the tube, they quickly fled the scene by car.
After disposing of the body, Lu Peng and Wang Li found an opportunity to throw the white Li Xia in Liu Ling into a building in Nankai District.
One day in February 2004, the reporter met Lu Peng who was detained in the detention center. Through the closed fence, Lu Peng in front of the reporter looked a little haggard. He kept smoking with his head down. From the logic of his conversation, it is not difficult to feel that he has received a good education. He said that at home, his parents have been extremely strict with him since he was a child. Even if he took part in the work, he dared not smoke in front of his mother at home. So he is a well-behaved and filial son in front of his parents.
Lu Peng's girlfriend Song Yan is his college classmate. From the time they started dating in college to the time he entered the detention center, the relationship between them was very strong. In Lu Peng's eyes, Song Yan's kindness and innocence seem to surpass all the girls. Before the incident, Song Yan was hospitalized due to illness, and Lu Peng also served at his bedside day and night.
Without this human tragedy, life might go on normally. How can parents and girlfriends think that Lu Peng, who looks gentle, will kill people and dismember their bodies one day? How can husbands and colleagues believe that Wang Li, who is thin and quiet, will become an accomplice in the bloody case? No one expected that the tragedy would happen so cruelly. Lu Peng, Wang Li and Liu Ling, who were killed, were once a generation of students in institutions of higher learning. However, they are spreading their wings in the golden times and realizing their dreams. The dead are gone, and the murderer will be severely punished by law. However, the alarm bell sounded by this case should be heard in everyone's mind.
