Attending ex-girlfriend's wedding, arresting the groom's officer on the spot

Li Xingyao continued to confess: "I asked him what happened, and he said that he and his cousin Li Xingyao had a big fight over the demolition of their home. It seemed to be about the distribution of the demolition money. The two of them disagreed and the argument was very fierce. They almost came to blows. I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, but now I think it might be related to this matter."

Lu Chuan and the others looked at each other and felt that this clue was very valuable. Lu Chuan immediately ordered: "Zhang Hui, Wang Shuai, go investigate Li Xingyao's situation, especially his fingerprints, to see if they match the fingerprints at the crime scene and on the coins provided by Lao Wang."

"Understood!" Zhang Hui and Wang Shuai took prompt action after receiving the order. They found Li Xingyao's address through the household registration information and then went to his home with the technicians.

When Li Xingyao saw the police suddenly coming to his door, a trace of panic flashed across his face, but he quickly regained his composure.

"Comrade police, what do you want from me?" Li Xingyao asked, pretending to be calm.

Zhang Hui said seriously: "We are investigating a case and need to collect your fingerprints for comparison. I hope you can cooperate."

Li Xingyao's eyes began to flicker: "Fingerprint comparison? Why do you want to compare my fingerprints? I haven't done anything illegal."

Wang Shuai stared at him and said, "It is your obligation to cooperate with the investigation. As for the reason, you will know when the results come out."

At the request of the police, Li Xingyao reluctantly provided his fingerprints. The technicians quickly took the collected fingerprints back to the police station for comparison. While waiting for the results, Zhang Hui and Wang Shuai continued to visit and investigate near Li Xingyao's home, asking his neighbors and friends to understand his recent behavior and his relationship with Li Jianshe.

Soon, the comparison results came out. Li Xingyao's fingerprints were completely consistent with the fingerprints at the crime scene and on the coins provided by Lao Wang.

"It's him!" Lu Chuan looked at the comparison report, his eyes revealing determination and anger. "Arrest Li Xingyao immediately."

When the police appeared in front of Li Xingyao again, he knew he could no longer make excuses.

"Li Xingyao, your fingerprints match the fingerprints at the crime scene and on items related to the case. You are now suspected of murdering Li Jianshe. Come back to the police station with us." Lu Chuan announced solemnly.

Li Xingyao slumped on the ground, his face pale. It took him a long time to come to his senses and he began to defend himself: "I... I didn't mean to kill him! He was just too much!"

In the interrogation room, Li Xingyao finally confessed to his crime.

"It's all because of the demolition." Li Xingyao lowered his head and said in a trembling voice, "The old house in our family is going to be demolished, and we can get a large sum of money. I want to have a better life in the future, so I want to get more. But Li Jianshe disagreed. He thought it should be divided equally. We quarreled many times about this, and each time we parted on bad terms."

Zhang Hui frowned and asked, "Just because of this, you killed him?"

Li Xingyao raised his head, his eyes full of regret: "That day, we quarreled again about the demolition payment, and the quarrel became more and more intense. He said I was selfish and threatened that if I didn't do as he said, I would not get a penny. I was so angry that I saw an iron rod next to me, so I... hit him on the head." Wang Shuai slammed the table angrily: "Then what? Go on!"

Li Xingyao was so frightened that he shivered and continued, "Actually, when I went to see him that day, he seemed to have had a conflict with someone. When I went over, I saw him lying on the ground unconscious, with bleeding on his head. Then I woke him up and was going to send him to the hospital, but we ended up arguing again about the demolition, and I couldn't hold back."

It turned out that Sun Hu injured Li Jianshe and then left, but Li Jianshe was not dead. Li Xingyao went there and woke him up. As a result, the two quarreled over the demolition. After waking up, Mr. Li could not control himself.

Lu Chuan asked coldly: "What about stealing the car?"

Li Xingyao wiped the sweat off his face. "I was afraid that I would be discovered if I used my own car to transport the body, so I thought of the scrap car repair shop where Lao Wang worked. I gave Lao Wang some money and asked him to help steal a car. I thought of transporting Li Jianshe to an abandoned cave, where no one usually goes, so he shouldn't be discovered. After that, I drove the car into a ravine and burned it, thinking that this would destroy the evidence."

Zhang Hui looked at him and asked, "Why did you leave fingerprints on the money? Don't you know that it's easy to be exposed?"

Li Xingyao said regretfully: "I was too nervous at the time and didn't pay attention to these details at all. I didn't think too much when I gave money to Sun Hu and Lao Wang. Now I think about it..."

After all the twists and turns, it was still a matter of profit. The next day, Li Jianshe was taken to the crime scene for identification.

Under the escort of the police, Li Xingyao arrived at the first crime scene with a pale face and unsteady steps.

Lu Chuan, Zhang Hui, Wang Shuai and others stared at Li Xingyao, their eyes revealing seriousness and concentration. Lu Chuan spoke first, his voice deep and powerful: "Li Xingyao, this is where you killed Li Jianshe. Now, tell me the details of your crime, word for word."

Li Xingyao slowly raised his head and looked at the familiar yet strange room. The past flooded into his mind like a tide. A trace of pain appeared on his face, but it was quickly replaced by fear. He took a deep breath and began to tell about that bloody night.

"That night, we quarreled again about the compensation for the demolition." Li Xingyao's voice was trembling. "I wanted to talk to him in a nice way, after all, we are family, but he didn't listen at all. He even said that I had bad intentions and wanted to take the compensation for myself. He kept talking more and more, and I was so angry that I lost control of my emotions."

Li Xingyao's eyes became empty, as if he had returned to that terrible night. He pointed to the corner of the room and said in a hoarse voice: "At that time, we were arguing over there, and he stood there, constantly accusing me. I saw a wrench on the table next to me, and I got angry and took it and smashed it on his head." At this point, Li Xingyao's body began to tremble slightly, "I really didn't mean to kill him, I just wanted him to shut up and stop scolding me. But I hit him too hard, and he fell to the ground in an instant, and blood kept coming out of his head."

Zhang Hui frowned and asked, "Did he die at that time?"

Li Xingyao shook his head, his eyes full of fear: "No, he was still breathing and still cursing at me. I panicked at the time and didn't know what to do. I wanted to send him to the hospital, but I was afraid that I would be arrested. Just when I was at a loss, his voice became weaker and weaker, and finally there was no movement. I felt his pulse and found that he was no longer breathing." (End of this chapter)
