Chapter 184 The Hidden Fifth Person! Is He a Human or a Ghost?

Chapter 184 The Hidden Fifth Person! Is He a Human or a Ghost?

Chapter 184 The Hidden Fifth Person! Is He a Human or a Ghost?
"You know him?"

"who is he!?"

As Xu Hao's voice fell, the interrogation room suddenly became quiet.

Before this, they suspected that the deceased Wang Wei might know the other party.

First of all, it was the diary. People would not remember another passerby without reason, but when Wang Wei read the diary for the first time, he had some feelings.

Then, on the second page, the other party only saw the facial features and immediately realized that the other party was a ghost.

Very strange.

It’s so strange that even Wang Chao, who was not investigating the case, realized it!

why?
Or collect information to explain.

For example, there is a person standing in front of you. Do you know who this person is? Do you know his name? What is his occupation?
To be honest, I don't know, because the concept of just a person standing is very pure, without any other information.

Now, let's add a gender to this person, which is a female, and then add a dull personality.

Do you have a little idea?

Keep adding, add one who likes to make desserts, likes to feed, and likes to get into bed at midnight.
Yes, when there is enough information, you can know who the other person is even without saying their name.

The most basic part of the process of 'collecting information' is communication!

The deceased Wang Wei was able to tell at a glance that the other party was a ghost. At some point, he must have collected some information through communication that could confirm his conclusion.

In this regard, society has divided the degree of information exchange into several different levels.

Stranger, acquaintance, relatively familiar, friend, brother or girlfriend, etc.

The more information there is, the closer the relationship is.

"I guess it's not just Wang Wei and Qian Hao, you also know each other, right?"

Xu Hao narrowed his eyes.

Shen Fei's face was still ferocious. He looked behind Xu Hao with fear in his eyes.

"He's coming, he's coming!"

"It's getting closer. It's getting one step closer to me. Let me go. Let me go quickly!"

"Chi!!!"

Shen Fei kept pulling the iron chain, making a crisp metallic sound.

"Cooperate honestly!"

There was an inexplicable look in Li Jianye's eyes. He clapped his hands hard and scolded loudly.

Shen Fei seemed to hear nothing and spoke nonsense like in his sleep.

The whole person was struggling continuously, and the interrogation table made a creaking sound.

Seeing this, Li Jianye frowned.

This way, the other party is not pretending
There was a thump in his heart.

'It's broken, there's something wrong with my mind'

There were four people in total who had problems, two of them are dead and one is missing, and is very likely dead as well.

If Shen Fei, who has been brought to the police now, is a mental patient, then there will be a big problem!

What do you want to ask a psychopath?
Or is he trapped in his own world, asking questions like an autistic person?
Stop dreaming.

If you can do it, then don't be a criminal policeman. I suggest you apply to be a doctor in a psychiatric hospital.

"You four have a lot in common, like money and seeing ghosts."

Xu Hao's expression was calm. He ignored the frantic Shen Fei and continued speaking:

"Among them, the source of the money cannot be traced, which is considered gray income."

“You can’t print money, and you don’t put in the work to match it.”

"But you have money in your hands, so I guess you used some means to get some money from others, right?"

Money is not wild and ownerless, and the disappeared money is not enough to make the four people rich.

How to get money without working?

Naturally, if you take it from society without putting in any work, it can only be illegal income!
Wang Wei and his three friends are all paupers, so poor that they almost have to sell their underwear. This is the only way to make money if they don't follow the right path!

As I said just now, money is not ownerless, so if these four people want money, they can only get it from a certain "owner of the money".

so.
"There is a fifth person involved in this case, a fifth person hiding behind the four."

"Is that him you saw?"

The words fell.

The atmosphere became increasingly tense. Fortunately, Li Jianye had discussed this matter with Xu Hao before, so he had a better idea of ​​what was going on. Otherwise, he would have been prepared to continue the interrogation.

Shen Fei continued to shiver.

The pupils of his eyes were out of focus, reflecting the figures of Xu Hao and Li Jianye, but the curled up and trembling body seemed to be seeing not Xu Hao, but the devil.

"It doesn't matter whether you are really crazy or just pretending to be crazy."

"The fifth person's information will be found out sooner or later."

Xu Hao took a look, then stood up and walked out.

As he approached the exit, he paused, turned around and said:

"Well, it looks like you are really crazy."

After saying that, Xu Hao said nothing more and walked straight out.

Inside the house, Shen Fei seemed to be unaware of what was happening. He curled up, his skinny body trembling, and his eyes dull and numb.

"He's coming, he's coming to kill me"

"Wang Wei is dead, Qian Hao is dead, and so is Zhou Tong. It's my turn, it's my turn!!!"

In a trance, Shen Fei's saliva was flying everywhere, his eyes, filled with fear, were extremely blood red, and bloodshot seemed to wrap around his eyeballs like blue veins.

"I can't die, I have to hide, I have to hide, I have to hide."

As he spoke, Shen Fei's trembling body gradually bent over.

He tried to hide under the interrogation table, but his hands were cuffed and he could only pull hard.

His wrists turned red and purple from being squeezed by the handcuffs, but he still didn't let go and continued to get inside.

Just when he was about to bleed, Li Jianye pulled him out.

"Take it down!"

He said with a livid face.

"Go away, all of you, go away, it's right next to me, it's right next to me, I have to hide!!!"

Shen Fei was suddenly pulled out, just like a mouse that had been in the dark for a long time, and his expression became even more excited.

"Let me hide, let me hide!!!"

As he spoke, he tried to hide under the table again.

Several police officers nearby took great pains to pull it out again, and then forcibly dragged the man towards the detention room.

Shen Fei, who was as thin as a skeleton, was completely defenseless.

But the crazy spirit also caused a lot of trouble for the police officers.

"Oh, what's going on?"

Li Jianye sighed, feeling a little tired, and then hurried out.

After looking around, he caught sight of Xu Hao's receding figure and hurriedly followed him.

"After the interrogation, any clues?"

Li Jianye exhaled a breath, looked at Xu Hao beside him and spoke.

The two talked as they walked.

"What about you? You don't have any ideas?"

Xu Hao looked at Li Jianye.

The other party pondered for a moment and said:

"I plan to conduct some investigations on the fifth person. If my reasoning is correct, the murderer is really the so-called fifth person, and he will definitely leave some clues."

"Maybe we can catch him because of this!"

Xu Hao smiled, "You think the same as me."

Li Jianye smacked his lips.

The second half of 03 was a hellish experience.
The days are like years. I work as soon as I open my eyes, and there is unfinished work when I close my eyes.

The most important thing is that it seems like there is no end. Before I finish checking the one I have, the second one comes.
Under this high-pressure situation, his abilities were greatly enhanced.

This is what criminal police are like. The difference between old criminal police and new ones is not their age, but the cases they handle.

The fastest way to train a criminal policeman is to provide him with a high-pressure investigative environment.

This is the case with Li Jianye. Similarly, since he participated in the investigation, he will naturally have some credit.

Not surprisingly.

During the Chinese New Year, Xu Hao will receive a large bonus.

Li Jianye will also get a lot of credit, and it is possible that he will be directly transferred to be the captain of the detachment.

Of course, having the same goal does not mean having the same actions.

"Don't say you think the same as I do."

Li Jianye looked the other person up and down, smacked his lips and spoke.

"How are you going to check?"

“Anchor the time node and then restrict the area.”

Xu Hao said casually.

Li Jianye paused, then understood.

In this case, positive logical reasoning is that Wang Wei and others did something to the fifth person, got a large sum of money, and then left. Until now, they were retaliated by the other party and killed in a strange way.

Three important pieces of information can be extracted from it: 'money', 'half a year ago', and 'the fifth person'.

Then, we only need to anchor the time node half a year ago, and then find a person with a lot of money in the area where Wang Wei and others were at that time.
Very simple thinking.

"How are the files in the office?"

Xu Hao stopped and this was a parking lot. He reached out, opened the door of the parked police car, and sat down in the driver's seat.

"Wait a moment, Sun Jian"

Li Jianye was about to speak, but the next second, a figure as big as a hill appeared in his eyes.

"he came."

Sun Jian was responsible for finding the file, and now that the other party has returned, it also means that the file has arrived.

"We have found out, but because the time point is so long ago, the police have not yet visited him."

After stuffing himself into the car, Sun Jian let out a breath and handed over a few documents.

These are the files of the deceased and Shen Fei.

Xu Hao took a quick look, extracted the place name, put it down, and fastened his seat belt.

"Sit tight."

The next second, the roar of the engine sounded, and the car shot out like an arrow from a bow!
Chengzhuang Town, this is a township location.

It includes thirteen villages, and according to the investigation of the internal staff, Wang Wei lived in Shuangyue Village where he was born half a year ago.

There was no unusual movement before moving out of Shuangyue Village, which was very abrupt.

And at this time.
"Wang Wei? Is this beast back?"

"Qian Hao? This is a beast among beasts!"

"Officer, did these grandsons commit crimes outside? You can judge boldly. Those who deserve imprisonment or execution should be executed. Don't feel any burden!"

In the afternoon, 6:20.

Xu Hao drove to Shuangyue Village, wandered around the village, and called the local village chief for cooperation.

The village chief was an old man with hair as white as jade, dressed simply. He was smoking a pipe and cursing.

As they walked towards the hometown of Wang Wei and others, the village chief kept chattering.

Xu Hao turned his head and glanced at the village chief.

"It sounds like Wang Wei and the others don't have a very good reputation."

"Not very good?"

As the village chief spoke, his face turned livid.

"Humph, when it comes to them, who in the village wouldn't be irritated with hatred!?"

"They are a bunch of hooligans. They steal things every day, beat people up or steal money, and act like hooligans. Wang Wei and Shen Fei's parents were so angry that they died."

"Qian Hao's grandson is an even bigger bastard. His only relative, his mother, was dying of illness, and he used the medical expenses to gamble, but ended up losing everything, and his mother died of illness."

Sun Jian beside him had a look of amazement on his face.

Indeed, from this point of view, it is no exaggeration to say that the other party is a beast.

No wonder the village chief still gets so angry when he mentions it now.

Xu Hao thought for a moment and then asked:

"Has any rich person disappeared in the past two years?"

"Well, it could also be simple bankruptcy. In short, there was an accident."

Hearing this, the village chief fell into deep thought.

After a moment, he shook his head.

"No."

"not a single one?"

Li Jianye was surprised and looked suspicious.

"Within two years, half a year, please think about it again, village chief."

If Wang Wei really got the money through improper means, he would not spend it in the short term as long as he had a little bit of common sense.

why?
Others have no money, but you spend money lavishly right after. Isn't it obvious that it's you who did it?

And if you can endure it for a year or two, as long as no one comes to investigate, you can basically spend it however you want and no one will bother you.

"Really? There are only a few of them in Shuangyue Village anyway. Everyone in the village is related to each other. They know exactly which children are promising and which are hooligans."

The village chief spoke again.

but
"There was one six years ago, but it's a little different from what you said, officer. See."

Six years ago! ?

The police paused, frowning.

Six years ago, 98, that long time ago?

Is this really related to the case?
"Tell me about it." Xu Hao said.

"Six years ago, there was a kid in our village who was rich by running a restaurant, but there was an accidental fire in his home. After the fire was put out, the firefighters found that it might have been caused by him unintentionally, and the kid's wife was burned to death."

"Then he disappeared out of fear of punishment." The village chief said after a long recollection.

Fear of crime disappears
Li Jianye thought for a moment, "How old?"

"He was only 19 years old at that time, a technical secondary school graduate. He had a promising future, becoming a big boss at such a young age." The village chief said with emotion, "But I didn't expect such an accident to happen."

Nineteen years old, so 04 was twenty-five.

It is consistent with the age of Wang Wei and others.

Xu Hao and Li Jianye looked at each other.

Assuming that the so-called person who fled for fear of crime is the murderer, then.
In other words, the fire was not set by the other party?
Is it Wang Wei and the others?
Now, six years later, the other party came back to take revenge on Wang Wei and others.
How did that magical 'ghost' that only existed in the eyes of four people do it?
Without waiting for anyone to figure it out.

Xu Hao's footsteps suddenly stopped. He looked up and looked at the old house in front of him.

"This is Wang Wei's hometown. Officer, you can search it at will. I guess this beast will never come back." said the village chief.

It's not just not coming back, it's simply impossible to come back.
Li Jianye complained casually in his mind.

Xu Huo didn't think too much and pushed open the door in front of him.

"Squeak~"

The old door made a screeching sound.

The scene of the interior full of cobwebs and dust appeared in front of everyone.

This is a mud brick house with tiled walls.

The walls are made of straw, mud and stones, and look like something from the 1960s and 1970s.

The house had been uninhabited for only six years, but it had become so dilapidated.

"Search and see if there is any connection with the case six years ago."

Xu Hao opened his mouth, and the next second, several policemen walked inside. There was also a police dog that kept sniffing something and walking around.

Jiangsan City now also has forensic doctors and police dogs.

Not the kind of secondment!
There are not many police dogs at present, only three, and a police dog squadron has been set up. There are not many forensic doctors, only one. If the trainee forensic doctors are included, there are barely 1.5.

"What was the name of the man who fled six years ago?"

While waiting, Xu Hao casually obtained information from the village chief.

"Zhang Jiayu, a child with a pretty nice name, grew up without a father or a mother and ate at many people's homes."

The village chief felt a little emotional when he mentioned him, and said with a sigh:
"He's a very honest child, very simple and honest, and he looks pretty good."

"What is your relationship with Wang Wei and others?" Xu Hao asked again.

"I don't know if I should have bullied you."

The village chief thought for a moment, shook his head and said:
"These bastards bully people all day long, either collecting protection money or going to Internet cafes. No one knows how many people they have bullied."

Li Jianye became thoughtful.

From the current perspective, Zhang Jiayu is indeed the person with the greatest suspicion.

Honest people won’t retaliate?
No, it’s not that an honest person won’t retaliate, it’s that he won’t retaliate until his bottom line is touched.

If it really touches the other party's bottom line
These people are more ruthless than anyone else.

Cut off the roots!

The fact that Wang Wei and others were forced to death is consistent with this point.

At this point, the only thing missing is information that can prove that Wang Wei is involved in the fire case six years ago!
Li Jianye wanted to ask more questions.

The next second, a dog barking was heard.

"Woof woof woof!!!"

The police dog lowered its head and sniffed for a long time, then suddenly sat up and barked and howled at a certain place.

"Boss, there's a situation!"

After searching for a while, the police officer suddenly shouted loudly.

Li Jianye and others paused, then hurried over there.

"what's the situation?"

"A knife with blood on it."

The police officer took out a transparent sealed bag, put the knife in it, and handed it to Li Jianye.

This is a butcher knife with a triangular blade and a sharp tip that can easily cut through pig skin and pork.

but
At this time, it was stained with a lot of blood.

"Wang Wei is not a butcher, he shouldn't have this knife. Zhang Jiayu is a restaurant owner, and the kitchen staff may butcher the pigs themselves."

Li Jianye's mind worked instantly and he immediately thought of the source of the knife.

"This is Zhang Jiayu's knife, and there's blood on it"

"This is human blood!"

After saying this, Li Jianye stared at the other person.

Why so sure?
Because this butcher knife is not mainly used to slaughter pigs.

Instead, after the pig dies, the bloodless meat is cut and used, just like the knives at the pork stalls. No matter how long they are used, they will not be stained with blood, at most there will be a lot of oil stains.

Even if there was blood, the butcher would grind it off. The knife was covered with blood and rust, which could only mean that
The knife was not used by Zhang Jiayu, it might have been used by Wang Wei.

What does Wang Wei do with Zhang Jiayu's knife?
You can only stab people.

Is this the murder weapon?"

Li Jianye frowned and handed the knife to Xu Hao.

Xu Huo sniffed and smelled a disgusting greasy smell, which was the smell of lard seeping into the gap between the blades and the remaining smell of the exploded wooden handle.

Of course, in addition to this, there is also the smell of human blood.

"Go check the fingerprints on the knife handle and do a DNA test with the wife of Zhang Jiayu, the deceased in the fire."

Xu Hao spoke up.

Several police officers nodded and immediately went to the forensic doctor with knives.

The remaining police officers will continue to search the house.

He also visited the neighbors and investigated the old house of Qian Hao and others, but unfortunately, he found nothing.

eight pm.

Xu Hao looked at the sky, exhaled a breath of turbid air, and said:
"Let's gather the team and take a rest first."

At 8:40, Xu Hao and others returned to the Jiangsan City Bureau.

"At present, the fire in Zhang Jiayu's home is indeed very strange."

"There are traces of human blood on the blade. If nothing unexpected happens, his wife's death should be caused by Wang Wei."

"And then deliberately faked the fire scene to frame the person?"

In the office, the police officers were off duty, but Sun Jian, Xu Hao and Li Jianye were still there.

The three of them were reviewing what happened today.

"It's possible." Sun Jian nodded.

Fire and water disasters are always the biggest enemies of criminal investigation.

Especially the former, which can eliminate all information!

If it was in the previous life, it would be fine because there were surveillance cameras and many circuits, so the fire point and the arsonist could be easily found.

but now.
It can’t be found. It can’t be found at all.

Not to mention it was six years ago!
“But the problem is”

"Where's Zhang Jiayu?"

Sun Jian suddenly spoke up, frowning and asking, "Even if they really wanted to frame someone, why didn't Zhang Jiayu come out and report it?"

Li Jianye paused, looked at Xu Hao, and then hesitated a little.

"Six years ago, Shen Fei was only 13, and there was nothing he could do even if he reported it."

Sun Jian understood.

But but.
"If you were going to kill Wang Wei directly, why didn't you do it six years ago?"

Sun Jian asked again.

Six years ago, Shen Fei was thirteen years old, and the others were also not very old and were physically at a disadvantage, so it would be easy to kill them alone.

Why did you have to wait until now?
Sun Jiang in the "Jesus" case waited, firstly because others wanted him to use time to recognize his true thoughts.

The second is to set a time node of 17 years old.

This case.
Zhang Jiayu was 25 years old six years ago, and he is only years old now. There is no difference. Why must he be killed now?

"To be honest, there would be no difference in the legal sanctions between killing someone six years ago and now."

"But the difficulty of killing people will be very high."

Li Jianye took a puff of cigarette and slowly exhaled the smoke.

He was also thinking about this issue.

But I didn't come up with any perfect answer.

Xu Hao didn't think about this.

He was thinking
"Five and a half years"

Suddenly, Xu Huo uttered three words, and Sun Jian and Li Jianye looked at them subconsciously.

"What five and a half years?"

The two were suspicious.

"Assume that Zhang Jiayu's case was really caused by Wang Wei."

"So, the money Wang Wei has is from Zhang Jiayu."

"But the problem is that these five people endured for five and a half years before going out to spend money in revenge!"

"During this period, not a penny more was spent."

Xu Hao fixed his eyes on another thing, his brows furrowed.

Five and a half years, a full five and a half years.
They have a lot of money in their hands, but they can't spend it.
To be honest, a normal person can only endure it for two years at most.

Not to mention, Wang Wei has such a beastly character that even if he denies it, Xu Hao will believe it as long as he gets the money and spends it right after.

But the other party endured for five and a half years before starting to spend money.

"why is that?"

Xu Hao spoke up.

Li Jianye paused. His mind was now much sharper than it was six months ago. He figured it out in an instant.

"Because I'm afraid!"

Three words came out of his mouth.

There is a knife above the word "忍".

This knife can be understood in many ways. One of them is that one is afraid that the knife will fall on his head, so he has to guard his heart, which becomes endurance.

Wang Wei was afraid that the police would find out that they were the ones who committed the arson, so he had to endure it.

But the problem is.
Generally speaking, after a normal case, the police will not conduct further investigations. Even if it is a backlog case, they will only investigate it for two to three years at most. If it still fails, the case will be dropped.

Not to mention that this case was classified by the police as an accidental fire.

Wang Wei has no reason to be so scared!
He has been detained at the police station countless times. It is impossible for the police to put so much pressure on him.

But the reality is here. Facts don’t lie!

so.
"The pressure to spend money does not come from the police, but from someone else!"

Li Jianye suddenly spoke and said what Xu Hao was thinking.

"That's right, the pressure is not on the police."

"Is that Zhang Jiayu?"

Xu Hao asked again.

Zhang Jiayu’s wife died and his house was burned down.

At present, it can be basically concluded that this is the fifth person.

The other party's disappearance did put a lot of pressure on him, after all, he could come out at any time and kill the four dead people.

But the problem is.
"Take a look. This is the forensic examination report on the knife."

Xu Hao handed over the document that had been delivered to him not long ago.

Li Jianye and Sun Jian started to watch, but as they watched, surprise suddenly appeared on their faces.

They looked up sharply.

"Blood on the Weapon"

"Is it Zhang Jiayu's!?"

The report clearly stated:
The DNA test was highly consistent with the human fragments extracted from Zhang Jiayu's clothes provided by the village chief.

The fingerprint check showed it was Wang Wei's.

That means.
The person who was stabbed was not Zhang Jiayu’s wife! ?
But it’s Zhang Jiayu himself!
"With the depth of the wound, if he didn't receive medical treatment, he would have died. If Zhang Jiayu died."

"Who is the murderer?!"

Suddenly, the office was silent.

Zhang Jiayu.May be dead
Wang Wei stabbed Zhang Jiayu, not his wife!

Sharp knife wounds are difficult to heal, let alone ones of this depth. Judging from the fact that there is no information about Zhang Jiayu around Shuangyue Village, it is highly likely that the other party has not received any medical treatment.

Since there is no such thing, there is a 90% chance of death.

His wife was indeed dead, and the village chief had arranged a grave for her, with her body lying in it.

As for the possibility that the corpse may not be the real person?
No, the village chief has provided DNA testing, which was tested by the fire department.

So now comes the problem.

At present, the biggest suspect in this case, the fifth person, Zhang Jiayu, is suspected of revenge killing and has the ability to satisfy all the funds in the hands of Wang Wei and others.

The timing was also consistent, and Wang Wei even left fingerprints on the knife.

In this situation, even Xu Hao would probably choose to kill and take revenge, using methods even more cruel than in this case.

But it just happens that
he died.

Zhang Jiayu may be dead!!!
Can the dead take revenge?

Li Jianye was stunned and didn't even notice that the cigarette in his hand had burned the mouthpiece.

This case.
It's getting weirder!
"Then now comes the problem."

"Now, what on earth is that person killing people out there!?"

"Is it a human?"

Xu Hao's eyes swept across the two people present.

"Or a ghost?!"
