Chapter 1227 The motive for poisoning several victims
After dinner, the Luo family took the initiative to play mahjong and asked the village chief to join them.
Although Zhang Ran did not play mahjong, he sat next to them and watched without leaving.
Until Xiuying cooked the chicken, the brothers went to the kitchen to eat it secretly. After coming out, they continued to play mahjong and died of poisoning at the mahjong table.
Judging from the confession, Qiuyu was the only one who had time to poison the chickens when he went to the toilet alone in the afternoon.
Officer Zhang gave the order to focus on interrogating Qiu Yu.
Then he found Luo Jiansheng's confession separately and checked it carefully, then threw it to several police officers, "Look at his confession carefully again, there are too many loopholes, he is lying. Why did his father die? Have you found out?"
"He said he had a terminal illness and committed suicide by taking poison."
"We have confirmed from other villagers that this is true."
Officer Zhang continued to ask: "Have you found out the autopsy report? Did you find out what poisoned them? Perhaps we can find the murderer by looking at the source of the poisoning."
Soon, the autopsy report that everyone had been waiting for came out, and it turned out that all three victims had died from rat poison.
"Rat poison?" Officer Zhang thought of something and asked quickly, "Has the father of the deceased been autopsied?" After receiving a negative answer, he hurriedly urged, "Let Xiao Wang have an autopsy as well! I suspect he was also killed by rat poison!"
The expedited autopsy report was just released, and the old village chief's body was also found to contain strychnine.
Based on information provided by other villagers, the police quickly found out that Luo Jiansheng had gone to the market to buy rat poison, saying that he would use it to kill the rats that were wreaking havoc in his home.
The police interrogated Luo Jiansheng again.
Luo Jiansheng cried and admitted that he bought the rat poison. "I didn't know my father would commit suicide by taking poison. If I had known earlier, I would never have bought the rat poison. I killed my father."
Seeing that he was crying so sadly, Officer Zhao continued to interrogate him with determination: "Why do you insist that it was Zhang Ran who poisoned and killed your brothers?"
At first, Luo Jiansheng refused to say anything. The police put pressure on him through various means. Finally, Luo Jiansheng could not bear it anymore and confessed that he had extorted 200,000 yuan from Zhang Ran.
Officer Zhao immediately discovered Zhang Ran's motive for poisoning several victims and brought him back for questioning.
Zhang Ran looked innocent and aggrieved. "He didn't blackmail me for 200,000 yuan. I willingly lent 200,000 yuan to Uncle Li and his wife." She recounted the whole story from beginning to end. "I was having dinner at Uncle Li's house when Grandpa suddenly came. Uncle Li felt embarrassed to send him away, so he invited him to dinner. While we were eating, he suddenly died..."
After listening to her story, all the police officers were as quiet as chickens.
Officer Zhao immediately sent someone to bring Qi Hui and his wife back to the police station for interrogation.
The process described by the two was exactly the same as what Zhang Ran said, with almost no major differences.
Officer Zhao interrogated Luo Jiansheng again, questioning him about whether he had poisoned and murdered his own father.
Luo Jiansheng refused to admit it.
The case was at a stalemate, and Officer Zhao suddenly remembered that he had not yet questioned the children born to Luo Jiansheng and Xiuying, so he immediately sent police officers to Luo's house to talk to the children.
Officer Zhao was waiting for news in the police station, and soon he received a call.
After hanging up the phone, he interrogated Luo Jiansheng again and shouted, "Luo Jiansheng! Are you still not willing to admit it? It was you who killed your father with your own hands!" Then he changed the subject, "You never expected it, did you? Your child saw you poisoning someone that day."
It was summer vacation. The eldest child was doing homework in the room, and the other children were playing hide-and-seek at home. One of them hid in the firewood pile in the kitchen.
