Chapter 7 Treat everyone equally
Crime squad interrogation room.
This was not the first time Li Dusheng came to this small house, but it was the only time he was not handcuffed.
He and Du Yu still sat opposite each other at the interrogation table. Unlike in the past, he remained silent and answered every question.
"Think carefully, how many people have made enemies with you recently?"
"I can't count them all." Li Dusheng admitted, "I have offended too many people in Jiangcheng."
Du Yu asked: "Who among them is the most suspicious?"
Li Dusheng said: "I don't know... Times have changed. It's not like before. Nowadays, unless you force someone into a corner, knives are rarely used in ordinary fights."
Du Yu said disdainfully: "Desperate, huh! Isn't this the only thing you've done?"
This time, Li Dusheng just shook his head and said nothing.
It is obvious that in recent years, he did not think that he had offended any enemies who would bring fatal disaster to his family.
Du Yu regretted: "According to our investigation, your sister was very popular when she was alive, there is no reason for her to be killed and dismembered. If it weren't for you..."
"boom!"
A loud noise echoed in the interrogation room, and the table was slightly cracked by Li Dusheng's punch.
He gritted his teeth, his face painful.
It’s not because of what Du Yu said, but it seems that I have really implicated my sister.
In fact, the Li siblings did not have a bad relationship and rarely visited each other as the outside world speculated.
But Li Dusheng is very clear about the business he is doing, and the less his sister interferes, the safer it will be.
He transferred a lot of money to his sister in private, but Li Yueyue saved all the money, thinking that although her brother was doing well now, what if something happened in the future and he needed money?
After all, no one knows which will come first, the accident or tomorrow.
As a result...she was the one who got into trouble first.
Li Dusheng swore in his heart that he must catch the murderer. At the same time, he also clenched his fists tightly because of self-blame, and felt pain in his heart.
Du Yu exchanged glances with the police officer who was in charge of taking notes, and they both shook their heads, feeling sorry for Li Yueyue.
It's really not worth it for such a good person to die because of his brother.
Xu Yiqing, who had been listening in, flipped through the autopsy report with a serious expression and tried to interrupt several times.
Du Yu noticed his abnormality and asked, "What's wrong, Lao Xu? It seems like you have something to say."
Xu Yiqing flicked the printed autopsy report with his finger, looked up and said, "I think Li Yueyue's death may have nothing to do with Li Dusheng."
Du Yu frowned: "What do you mean?"
Li Dusheng looked up suddenly as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw and said, "Doctor Xu, are you saying that I didn't kill my sister?"
In the midst of extreme sadness, it seemed that this was the only way to comfort him.
Li Dusheng knew very well that the dead could not be resurrected.
Xu Yiqing nodded: "The autopsy results are very clear. Li Yueyue had no signs of fighting, and she had mechanical asphyxiation before death. This shows that it was an acquaintance who committed the crime. Because only an acquaintance could take advantage of the victim's home and take action when the victim was defenseless."
"And a very crucial point is that Li Yueyue was not sexually assaulted and her clothes were intact." Xu Yiqing continued: "If Li Yueyue was really killed in revenge for Li Dusheng, then the hatred has reached this point. The greatest revenge for a man is to insult the women he cares about, including but not limited to sexual assault, taking nude photos, and insulting corpses. But if we put aside the beheading, Li Yueyue was just a normal murder."
"The above-mentioned revenge against women is not limited to male murderers. Investigations have shown that the revenge of women against women is also extremely insulting in autopsies...but your sister's autopsy did not show any of these."
Du Yu pondered: "So what you mean is... the first person who attacked Li Yueyue didn't do it to retaliate against Li Dusheng?"
Xu Yiqing nodded seriously, "Based on the perspective of forensic autopsy and the clues provided by the autopsy, I can be responsible for what I said. In summary, at least the first murderer is an acquaintance who really has a grudge against Li Yueyue."
Du Yu and the police officer looked at each other. Since Xu Yiqing said so, there was basically no way he could escape.
The criminal police in Jiangcheng will unconditionally believe Xu Yiqing's autopsy inference.
Li Dusheng remained silent, with his head down, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
There were limited clues that could be obtained from his mouth, and now the possibility of revenge killing had been basically ruled out, so the record was quickly concluded.
Everything is back to the starting point. Li Yueyue’s death has to start with her own interpersonal relationships.
As a result, the dog meat found in the stomach became the top priority.
Xu Yiqing sent Li Dusheng downstairs——
Du Yu refused to do such a thing as he and Li Dusheng did not get along.
But someone has to perform this etiquette. Today, Li Dusheng is just a relative of the deceased. It is not good to just summon him and send him away at will, and just wave goodbye after taking the statement.
Moreover, Xu Yiqing always treated everyone equally. In his eyes, Li Dusheng was just a younger brother whose sister had just died.
He was also a brother who lost his younger brother. So he could empathize with the bereaved family members... and Li Dusheng was one of the few bereaved family members who would say thank you to the forensic doctor.
"Do you know that your sister eats dog meat?" Xu Yiqing asked as he walked downstairs.
"I do not know."
Li Dusheng was very honest. He had no idea that his sister had such a hobby, so naturally he had no idea which dog meat restaurant Li Yueyue had visited.
"I understand." Xu Yiqing nodded. "I will inform you as soon as there is any news. In addition, the identification of your sister's body will be handed over to the office of the Forensic Department of the Criminal Investigation Division."
The two men left the serious crime unit building and saw a group of young people gathered in twos and threes at the gate of the police station.
There were several luxury cars and high-quality motorcycles parked on the side of the road, which attracted people's attention and also gave the police on duty a headache... Since they were not causing trouble, there was no need to drive them away.
This situation is extremely rare in front of the police station. Normally, this group of idle people in society are afraid to avoid the police, so why would they gather together?
Today they are here to pick up the boss Li Dusheng.
On a late autumn afternoon, a group of ferocious-looking men were squatting or standing, cigarettes dangling from their lips, puffing away at the door of the police station.
When they saw Li Dusheng coming out, they immediately stood up straight and shouted "Boss" in unison.
This is Li Dusheng's habit in Hong Kong. He doesn't like people calling him boss, as he thinks it is not decent. Calling him big brother sounds much better.
Xu Yiqing stopped about four or five steps away from them and did not move closer.
The smell of smoke was particularly noticeable in the cold air.
Li Dusheng glanced at him out of the corner of his eye.
In fact, he is a very thoughtful person. From the first time they met at the KTV, when Xu Yiqing stood at the door and didn't go in, he could see that Xu Yiqing hated the smell of cigarettes.
Then, under the watchful eyes of his thugs, Li Dusheng casually took the cigarette from one of them and put it out in his hand with a little force.
The calm expression was as if he had pinched an ant and could not feel the temperature of the cigarette butt.
Seeing this scene, the thugs' eyelids twitched. Without saying anything more, they quickly put out the cigarettes in their mouths.
Li Dusheng said: "This is Doctor Xu, you should recognize his face."
"Hello, Dr. Xu!"
"From now on, if anyone smokes a cigarette in front of Dr. Xu, please swallow it if I see you."
The boss's voice was low and cold, but at the door of the police station in the autumn, it had an unusually heavy weight.
After giving his henchmen a lecture, Li Dusheng turned to look at Xu Yiqing and his voice became more casual, trying to get closer to him.
He said from the bottom of his heart: "Dr. Xu, thank you today."
Xu Yiqing waved his hands quickly: "It's my job. It's also my responsibility to find out the cause of your sister's death."
Li Dusheng said, "I know your Mr. Du. I know the way he looks at me. In his eyes, I am a thief forever. He thinks I deserve it and that people like me don't deserve sympathy. But you are different, Doctor Xu. I can see that you treat me as an ordinary person."
Ever since they learned that Li Yueyue was Li Dusheng's sister, the serious crime squad had a sense of sudden enlightenment.
[So she is the sister of that bastard Li Dusheng, that makes sense]
Even Li Dusheng thought so... He blamed himself for taking this path and bringing trouble to his sister.
You can ignore all these, he is just a family member of a victim, his only relative just died.
Li Dusheng could feel that Dr. Xu was the only one who showed sympathy towards him.
Xu Yiqing was silent for a long time, perhaps because he thought of the pain he felt when facing the corpses of his relatives, or perhaps because he thought of the helplessness and grief he felt when he dissected his brother with his own hands.
He is actually empathetic.
Li Dusheng continued, "So I can only ask you, please find out who killed my sister... I, Li Dusheng, have never begged anyone in my life, but today I am begging you."
The weight of this sentence is very great in Jiangcheng, so great that anyone who knows Li Dusheng would be surprised.
But Xu Yiqing would not do that, because his heart is pure only in revealing the truth.
Be worthy of the dead and be worthy of every cut you make on the corpse.
"I will, don't worry." Xu Yiqing said seriously.
This is not only related to Xu Yiqing's sense of responsibility as a forensic doctor, but also a little selfish -
Through investigation, he increasingly felt that this confusing case was inextricably linked to the dismemberment case of his own brother.
Li Dusheng bowed to him to express his gratitude.
The thugs didn't understand what was going on, but they couldn't just stand there and do nothing.
So in late autumn of that year, people saw a group of gangsters bowing and repenting in front of the police station, which was very bizarre.
