Murder, no crime scene

This is a murder case with no scene and no evidence, which happened a year ago. After receiving the online help-seeking from the victim's family, the police successfully used the strategy of psychological warfare without any direct evidence of the suspect's crime, and cracked the case in only 24 hours.

20 13 One day in early spring, Weibo, the official of Shanghai Public Security Bureau? @ Yaya Yaya Yaya Yaya 200 I received a request from Weibo, a netizen from Jiande, Zhejiang, to find a young woman who had been missing for a year. The Weibo team of the Municipal Bureau quickly informed the Pudong Public Security Bureau of this information.

At the same time, at 6 pm on February 19, when the night hung in the sky like a huge curtain, five men and women with Zhejiang accents suddenly crowded into the reception hall of Zhangjiang Police Station of Pudong Public Security Bureau. They were very excited when they saw the police.

? Don't worry, sit down and talk slowly if there is anything. ? The police calmed their emotions and invited them into the reception room. It turned out that the family came to Shanghai from Jiande, Zhejiang Province, looking for Luo Xiaohui who had been missing for a year. Her father choked. Xiaohui is my eldest daughter. 20 1 1 In September, she refused to listen to my mother's advice and insisted on working in Shanghai. Last April, when she was chatting with her sister online, she asked her sister to tell us that she had gone to work in Suzhou. In June, she talked about traveling to Yunnan. Although I often chatted with my sister through QQ, telling her that she is fine now, reassuring her parents and sending native products home to honor us three times, she was always reluctant to call home, and even her sister wanted to chat with her on video and audio, which was rejected by her for various reasons. ?

In desperation, the two elderly people who longed for their daughters had to ask their youngest daughter to post on the Internet and @ Shanghai Public Security Bureau official Weibo, asking for help from the police and netizens. Then, accompanied by my youngest daughter and two relatives, I went to Suzhou and embarked on the road of finding a woman. Luo Xiaohui's parents went to Suzhou for the first time to look for their daughter, because every time Luo Xiaohui mailed a local product package, the signature address was written in a community in Suzhou.

When they came to Suzhou, they found the local police station according to the address on the parcel. However, after repeated checking by the police, it was found that this address did not exist, and no trace of Luo Xiaohui's presence in the Soviet Union was found. Disappointed, they decided to rush to Shanghai to find their daughter. After arriving in Shanghai, they immediately went to the Zhangjiang Police Station of Pudong Branch for help. This is because Luo Xiaohui once had a Shanghai boyfriend named Cao Yu who lived at No.247 Blu-ray Road under the jurisdiction of Zhangjiang Police Station. Thus, the scene at the beginning of this article appeared.

After being appeased by the police, Luo Xiaohui's family finally gradually stabilized and slowly told the story.

Luo Xiaohui's mother said that her 24-year-old daughter was beautiful and simple. After graduating from high school, she has been selling in a wallpaper shop in her hometown and has never left home. However, since June 20 1 1, she met a Shanghai man named Cao Yu who is also engaged in wallpaper business through QQ chat, she has been a little fidgety and repeatedly asked her parents to resign and go to Shanghai? Breakthrough? .

Although the distance between Shanghai and Jiande is not far, the Luo Xiaohui family has never been to Shanghai. Besides, how can parents rest assured that their daughter is traveling in Shanghai alone and a stranger? Therefore, out of love for their daughter, they disagreed. However, the stubborn Luo Xiaohui didn't listen to his family's dissuasion and insisted on going to Shanghai. She said to her parents: Leave me alone, I'm leaving. Shanghai is an international metropolis, where the world is much bigger than Jiande. Now let me tell you straight away. Cao Yu and I are no longer ordinary netizens. We are lovers. His business is very big. He has two houses. I'm with him, so you don't have to worry at all. ? Finally, Luo Xiaohui carried his family on the bullet train to Shanghai on September 1 10.

When she first arrived in Shanghai, Luo Xiaohui often called home, or sent short messages to chat with her sister online. In the meantime, her sister went to Shanghai to see her several times. However, what makes her family anxious is that since February 22nd last year, Luo Xiaohui has lost contact with her family and always turned off her phone when calling her. However, it is puzzling that although her family can't contact her, she occasionally chats with her sister on QQ and tells her that she has gone to work in Suzhou now and everything is fine, so she wants to reassure her parents that she will also mail back local products to honor her parents on holidays. Luo Xiaohui's looming mystery undoubtedly aggravated Luo Xiaohui's family's doubts. To this end, her parents finally decided to go to Suzhou, Shanghai and other places to find their daughters, and at the same time asked the police for help.

After listening to Luo Xiaohui's parents, the police analyzed that if you want to find out the whereabouts of Luo Xiaohui, you must first find the Shanghai man named Cao Zi, because Luo Xiaohui went to Shanghai with him and they were still in love. Fortunately, Luo Xiaohui's parents have Cao Yu's address. Through inquiry, it was found that there was a real person. This man does live in a number in Lane 247, Blu-ray Road. He is a small boss who deals in building materials such as wallpaper. But unlike Luo Xiaohui's parents, this man is not a 27-year-old unmarried man, but a 4 1 year-old middle-aged man who got married and had children as early as 10 years ago.

Is this Cao Yu what Shanghai Roman's parents said about falling in love with her daughter? The police are also quite confused. In order to find out the facts clearly, the community police specially rushed to Cao Yujia, Lane 247, Blu-ray Road. Cao Yu's wife said that he was playing mahjong at a friend's house. The police asked his wife to call him and told him to go to the police station at once. Half an hour later, Cao Zi came to the police station.

With a full eyelid of suspicion, Cao Yu walked into the police station and asked. Comrade police, did you want to see me? ?

? Yes, please sit down. We will ask you for some information. ? The policeman handed a cup of tea and asked, "Do you know Luo Xiaohui?" ? ?

? Yes, yes. ? Cao Yu's reaction is quick. When he heard the name Luo Xiaohui, he immediately said, "Are you looking for her?" ? I've been looking for her everywhere recently! Since last February, I don't know where this woman has gone. ?

? She is your girlfriend. How can you not know where she is? ? The policeman asked bluntly.

? Nonsense, nonsense, she and I are purely ordinary friends in business. We really met on QQ. When chatting online, she said that she worked very hard in a wallpaper shop in Jiande, and her salary was very low. She wants to change her job. I am a passionate person. I heard that she and I are in the same trade. And I'm looking for help at this time, just tell her that I'm also in the wallpaper business. You can come and do it with me if you like. Later, she came to Shanghai to find me. I not only arranged a job for her, but also rented her a house in Chuansha. However, after a long time, I found this woman very annoying. She is good at using Shanghai dialect. Sometimes she complains that my salary is too small, and sometimes she clamors that the rented house is in a bad environment and wants me to find a house for her. Later, she said that her mobile phone was stolen and insisted that I buy her the latest Apple mobile phone. ? Speaking of which, he's hands spread out, revealing a very helpless expression. Good intentions are not rewarded! There was nothing she could do, so I had to admit that I was unlucky. After I paid a salary in advance, I told her that my temple here is small, so you'd better find another job. In this way, I haven't contacted her since February last year. ?

It should be said that Cao Zi's statement is basically consistent with some facts before and after Luo Xiaohui's disappearance reflected by Luo Xiaohui's family. In the absence of more direct evidence, the police sent Cao Yu home after completing the transcript. However, looking at the expectant eyes of Luo Xiaohui's family, especially the way her elderly parents are running around looking for their daughter who has been missing for a year, with years of experience in handling cases, the police still vaguely feel that this incident may not be a simple disappearance case. To this end, they continue to ask Luo Xiaohui's parents about the situation in order to find clues to the case.

When Luo Xiaohui's mother heard that Cao Yu denied that he and his daughter were in love, she immediately said angrily, This man is lying. Xiaohui and Cao Yu are in love, but her father and I disagree. I told her that you only met online and knew nothing about each other. What should I do if I meet a liar? But Xiaohui didn't listen to our dissuasion at all and insisted on going to Shanghai. ? Speaking of which, Luo Xiaohui's mother took out her mobile phone and a photo. Look, this is a photo of Cao Yu sent to me by my daughter after she came to Shanghai. At that time, I called her to ask about Cao Yu. She not only gave a detailed introduction, but also sent me a photo of Cao Yu. After reading it, I immediately told her why this 27-year-old man looks so old and his skin is dark and rough. You'd better die before it is too late. ?

However, despite the unanimous opposition of her family, Luo Xiaohui seemed to be possessed and begged her parents to allow her to fall in love with Cao Yu. She said that Cao Yu is a small boss with strong dedication and certain economic strength, and he is very happy with Cao Yu. I hope her parents will not interfere with her freedom of love. Faced with her daughter's attitude, Luo Xiaohui's parents had to agree with her.

Although Luo Xiaohui's parents' narrative seemed a little messy because of anger and anxiety, the police still caught it? 27 years old, unmarried, in love? These keywords. Cao Zi is a 4 1 married man, and those keywords have nothing to do with him at all. Is it because Cao Yu deliberately concealed the truth from the police?

In order to find out the truth, the next morning, the police decided to summon Cao Yu again. Perhaps to show his sincerity in cooperating with the police investigation and his innocence, Cao Zi came quickly. It only took 10 minutes to get to the police station. As soon as he stepped into the gate, he shouted: I'm really fed up with this woman. If you police want to ask something else, just ask it right away. Don't keep calling me to the police station, it will make me play mahjong. ?

? Are you and Luo Xiaohui in love? ? In the face of the police's inquiry, Cao Yu still categorically denied it, with a full face of grievances:? Police, she and I are really just friends, purely because we are both in the wallpaper business and want to help her tide over the difficulties. ? He said that after Luo Xiaohui disappeared, his father called him and said that his daughter's cell phone had been disconnected. He asked him to go to Luo Xiaohui's rental office in Zhong Shi Street, Chuansha to see what happened. On the evening of February 22, he arrived there and found no one inside. At that time, I was still complaining in my heart that such women were rare. I rented her a house and left without saying hello.

Just as the police asked Cao Yu, another _ 2 police were also conducting an external investigation. According to the investigation, from February 2065438 to February 2002, Luo Xiaohui's identity card did have a record of buying a bullet train ticket to Suzhou. In the same year 10, Luo Xiaohui bought a train ticket to Yunnan. This travel record is exactly the same as what Luo Xiaohui said when chatting with her sister on QQ. In addition, after comparing Cao Yu's signature on the transcript with the signature on the local product package sent by Luo Xiaohui to his family, the police found that they were not the same handwriting. Based on these clues, we can see that Luo Xiaohui's disappearance has nothing to do with Cao Yu.

? That's it. Go home. ? After Cao Yu was summoned for the second time, the police had to let him go because there was no conclusive evidence.

? Thank you, police. If you still need my cooperation, I will be on call. ? Looking at Cao Yu's relieved expression and long-lost figure, the police seem to have a little chest tightness. In fact, they still have three doubts: First, Luo Xiaohui said that her mobile phone was stolen and she had no money to buy a new one. She kept in touch with her family through QQ chat for more than a year, but why did her family see her face and hear her voice through QQ video? Second, Luo Xiaohui mailed local products to her parents in Suzhou, and even asked her sister for her home address. She doesn't even know where her hometown is? Third, Cao Yu, who had always had a good relationship with Luo Xiaohui before, suddenly broke off the relationship between them just because Luo Xiaohui's mobile phone was stolen, and asked him to buy a new one, which is obviously unreasonable.

The leaders of Zhangjiang police station believe that what they have to do now may not be as simple as finding someone to do good deeds. There must be something hidden behind this disappearance. Therefore, they immediately decided to hand over the case to the Second Branch of the Criminal Investigation Bureau for further investigation.

The police station handed over an ordinary disappearance case to the criminal investigation detachment for investigation, which means that the case has been upgraded to a criminal case. After reading the case file several times, the detachment leader also felt that this was a thorny case with many doubts and difficulties. Because different from other criminal cases, there is a crime scene, and investigators can investigate clues by investigating the scene, but there is no crime scene in this case, which makes investigators a little at a loss.

In the face of thorny issues, the investigators believe that the case should be investigated around Cao Yu, and through external visits and investigations, the clues to break through Cao Yu's psychological defense line should be found. Therefore, the investigator first came to the real estate agent who introduced the rental house for Cao Yu. A salesman clearly remembers that Cao Yu pointed to a young woman around him and said that this was his girlfriend and asked to rent a house in Chuansha area. After the investigator showed the photos of Cao Yu and Luo Xiaohui to the salesman, he recognized them at a glance. Subsequently, the landlord of the rental house also told the case handlers that Cao Yu and Luo Xiaohui often lived here and they were closely related. At first glance, they look like lovers in love. The salesman and landlord of the real estate agent reported that Cao Yu obviously lied about his relationship with Luo Xiaohui, indicating that he had a ghost in his heart.

According to Cao Zi's wife, Cao Yu often went to Suzhou to receive business from April to August in 20 12. The investigator pinched his finger and calculated that this time and place coincided with the time and place when Luo Xiaohui frequently contacted his sister through QQ. Luo Xiaohui's sister told the investigators that on the afternoon of July 30th of the same year, Luo Xiaohui chatted with her on QQ for less than a minute, and Cao Yu appeared on QQ, with online addresses in Suzhou.

There are signs that Cao Yu seems to have something to do with Luo Xiaohui's disappearance, but then there is another problem that puzzles investigators. Luo Xiaohui disappeared in February, 20 12, but why did it take a whole year until February, 20 13, 19, when his family reported the case to the public security bureau?

Luo Xiaohui's sister answered the investigator's questions. It turned out that at the beginning of March, 20 12, a week after her family couldn't contact Luo Xiaohui, her father was about to report the case to the police. Her sister suddenly received a message from Luo Xiaohui on QQ, saying that she had broken up with Cao Yu, and now she has left Shanghai, a sad city, to work in Suzhou. I hope her family doesn't have to worry about her. Her mobile phone was stolen, so she will contact her family through QQ in the future. Since then, Luo Xiaohui's sister has received messages from her QQ every half month or so, reporting the safety of her family, and Luo Xiaohui's parents often receive local products mailed from Suzhou.

In this way, the family's hanging heart will gradually be put down. During this period, Luo Xiaohui's sister reminded her sister many times that she had to call home. Although she agreed, she never called and refused to chat with her sister on QQ. 2012165438+10, Luo Xiaohui's sister received a QQ message from Luo Xiaohui, saying that the company was going to have a holiday soon, and she wanted to travel to Yunnan alone. Her sister advised her that it was not safe to go alone, or go back to her hometown to see her parents first, and then they went to Yunnan together. Luo Xiaohui didn't listen to her sister's persuasion, but she still had to go to Yunnan alone. However, Luo Xiaohui never heard from her again, and she completely lost contact with her family. At the same time, the investigators learned that the signature address on the local product package that Luo Xiaohui sent to his parents from Suzhou simply did not exist. Although Luo Xiaohui's ID card bought a train ticket from Yunnan in the past, she has never actually been to Yunnan. Investigators combined with the information provided by Luo Xiaohui's sister, after analyzing the case again, a series of question marks suddenly appeared:

How can you not know the address of your hometown?

Why do you leave a fake address on the package of local products sent to your parents?

I bought a train ticket to Yunnan, why not go?

Cao Yu said that the date of his breakup with Luo Xiaohui and the date of Luo Xiaohui's disappearance were both February 22, 20 12. Is this a coincidence?

At this point, a bold assumption flashed in the investigator's mind: the person hiding behind QQ and chatting with Luo Xiaohui's sister may not be Luo Xiaohui at all. This person is probably works, because only he saw Luo Xiaohui for the last time. This Cao Yu is suspected of a crime.

five

At 7 pm on February 2 13, the investigator summoned Cao Yu for the third time. Although the location was changed from the reception room of the police station to the interrogation room of the criminal investigation detachment, Cao Yu, who saw the police for the third time, remained calm and even more natural and graceful than the previous two times. As soon as he sat down, he smiled and said, police, can I help you? ?

? What's your relationship with Luo Xiaohui? ?

To the surprise of investigators, unlike the previous two statements in the police station, Cao Yu readily admitted his love affair with Luo Xiaohui this time. She is my lover, and we met online. I didn't tell you the truth at the police station twice before because I was afraid that this extramarital affair would cause family conflicts after it was exposed. Since you have been looking for me again and again, I know you can't hide. Sorry, I was wrong. Now that we have broken up, I don't know where she is. ? Next, in the face of the investigator's question, Cao Yu kept silent with his eyes closed, didn't say a word, and only occasionally moved his eyes.

Although the investigator is a little anxious, his expression seems to be unhurried. They quietly accompanied Cao Yu? Close your eyes? .

On the morning of February 22nd, Cao Yu's mood was obviously relaxed after the rest. At breakfast, the investigator said nothing about the case, but talked with him about some topics he was interested in. At noon, the investigators had a simple lunch with rice bowls, talking and laughing with each other, and seemed to be very harmonious old friends. In fact, this is a strategy of investigators. The investigator who knows psychology well said:? Interrogating a suspect is like saving a suicide who is about to jump off a building. Never yell at him? Don't jump, sneak up behind him, pat him on the shoulder and take him downstairs. ?

Sure enough, after lunch, Cao Yu took the cigarette handed to him by the investigator and said casually: I went to the internet cafe to get online, just to reassure her family.

Hearing this, the investigator was overjoyed. Who is she? ? Maybe I noticed my own right away? Smoking? After the gaffe, Cao Chao's investigator blinked and immediately began to be silent.

At this time, the investigator once again used psychological provocation to stimulate Cao Yu: What did you think before you went to Suzhou to chat online? ? , this will soon be silent works? Activate? He frowned and his feet kept shaking.

The investigator suddenly felt? There is another play? Rebuilding the scene is undoubtedly painful for the parties. The investigator further asked:? What was Luo Xiaohui's face the last time you saw her? What did you say to her again? ?

He twisted his body and sighed. I don't want to talk about it. ?

The two sides have been deadlocked until 4 pm, and Cao Yucai vomited: Police, I really don't want to talk about this. If you have proof, arrest me and take me to court. I will keep this matter in my heart forever. ?

Is Cao Yu's sentence a provocation to the police's ability to solve crimes, or is it out of guilt after committing crimes? The investigator's judgment is: both. They seized this opportunity to strike while the iron is hot: As a man, if you really love Luo Xiaohui, then no matter what happens, you must make a responsible account of the woman you once loved, her family and yours. You can talk nothing now, but you still have to have dinner. ?

After dinner, in order to get rid of the inner torment as soon as possible, Cao Yu finally poured out the secret hidden in his heart for a year. Luo Xiaohui was stripped naked by me. ?

At present, there is still half an hour before the deadline for legal summons.

As it turns out, since they met Luo Xiaohui online, they hit it off, because they are both in the wallpaper business. Pretending to be a 27-year-old unmarried man, Cao Yu soon fell in love with Luo Xiaohui and strongly invited her to come to Shanghai with him? * * * Start a business? . At first, Cao Yu really had deep feelings for Luo Xiaohui and took care of her. However, after learning that Luo Xiaohui was pregnant during the Spring Festival last year, Cao Yu was worried that their extramarital affairs would be exposed. He kept telling Luo Xiaohui that he had a family. Therefore, he repeatedly begged Luo Xiaohui to abort the child, but the stubborn Luo Xiaohui refused and even told Cao Yu that he would invite his parents to go to Shanghai with him. Make it clear? And threatened to sue him in court.

He was desperate and gave birth to Luo Xiaohui? Do it. Evil thoughts. So, on the surface, he promised Luo Xiaohui to have the baby, but secretly he began to plan the murder. In late February of 20 12, he rented a remote peasant villa near Huaxia West Road on the grounds of choosing a house with better facilities for Luo Xiaohui. At 9 o'clock on February 22nd, while Luo Xiaohui was sleeping, Cao Yu put on gloves and grabbed her neck tightly?

Afterwards, Cao Yu dug a pit 1 5 meters deep in the backyard of the villa, and then put Luo Xiaohui's body in a box and buried it. Because he is remote and people around him have the habit of digging holes to grow vegetables, his evil deeds have not attracted the attention of the outside world. After that, he informed his sister with Luo Xiaohui's QQ. Yourself? I went to work in Suzhou and bought a bullet train ticket from Shanghai to Suzhou with Luo Xiaohui's ID card. In order to avoid the suspicion of Luo Xiaohui's family, from April to August, 20 12, Cao Yu went to Suzhou once or twice a month on the grounds of accepting business, where he contacted his sister with Luo Xiaohui's QQ and bought some local souvenirs to mail to Luo Xiaohui's parents. He is very calculating. Every time he goes to the post office, he always invites a black motorcycle and asks the driver of the black motorcycle to help him write the address on the package. After August, Cao Yu's wallpaper shop closed down, so there is no reason to go to Suzhou frequently. So he told Luo Xiaohui's sister on QQ. Yourself? I want to travel to Yunnan. I bought a train ticket from Suzhou to Shanghai and then to Yunnan with Luo Xiaohui's ID card. According to his plan, Luo Xiaohui finally disappeared in Yunnan. At that time, even if Luo Xiaohui's family went to Yunnan to look for it, there would be no result. In this way, with the passage of time, his relationship with Luo Xiaohui will gradually fade out of the sight of his family.

According to Cao Yu's account, the investigators seized Luo Xiaohui's mobile phone and computer in his home, found Luo Xiaohui's identity card in a green belt near his home, and under his identification, dug up Luo Xiaohui's body in the backyard of the farmhouse. At this time, the land where sin was buried was covered with green grass.

For a whole year, it was calm. Cao Yu made this so-called for himself? Perfect murder? Be happy. However, occasionally in the dead of night, when he recalls the good times of living with Luo Xiaohui, his heart will ripple. What he didn't expect was that a year later, under the unremitting pursuit of the police, he finally fell into the French Open.

On February 22nd, 20 12, Luo Xiaohui unfortunately met? Couple? According to Cao Yu.

20 13 No crime scene on February 22nd? Atypical homicide? Successfully solved within 24 hours.

This may be an act of god.
