Detective: From the Police Academy

Chapter 405 Found her head!

"Zhizhi, whose real name is Pangzhi, is 25 years old this year. Her ancestral home is in Fujian Province. She graduated from Guangxing Art College, majoring in sculpture. After graduation, she has been living in Yonghe City. Her family has opened hospitals across the country.

There are three hospitals in Yonghe City, a general hospital, a dental hospital, and a women and children's hospital. The operator is his brother, Pang Ke, a real second-generation rich man, whose family is very rich..."

At six o'clock in the morning, in an SUV on a city road, Cai Xiaojing, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was holding several copies of background information on people related to the case and introduced them to Luo Rui, who was sitting in the back seat.

"In addition, the man driving the motorcycle is named Gu Jin, 26 years old, and also graduated from the Academy of Arts. His family owns several pharmaceutical factories and he is also a super rich second generation."

Hearing this, Fang Yonghui, who was driving, smacked his lips and said, "All of these people's families are so rich, no wonder they are so fearless. Just look at the motorcycle that crashed last night. It's said that it's a limited edition. I can't even afford it with my ten years' salary and bonus combined."

Lin Chen, who was sitting in the back row, didn't care: "It's not a big deal to be rich..."

Before she finished her words, Fang Yonghui smiled and said, "Hey, Officer Lin's words are quite appropriate..."

Although he didn't finish the second half of his sentence, Lin Chen understood the hidden meaning. No matter how rich he was, he couldn't compare to a single hair of her father.

Immediately, Lin Chen angrily asked: "Fang Yonghui, what do you mean?"

Fang Yonghui pretended to be innocent: "What's the matter?"

"Don't think I can't hear it..."

Luo Rui waved his hands as if he had a headache: "Okay, stop arguing, it's already late, take a nap if you have time."

Fang Yonghui complained: "Luo Da, I really want to sleep, but the steering wheel won't allow it."

"That's enough." Luo Rui glanced at him and asked, "Captain Cai, how are Chu Yang and Zhang Yong doing?"

"They're still working on it," Cai Xiaojing replied. "I checked before I left. The website has been found. They are hacking into the backend, sorting out the registered members, checking their IP addresses, and then checking the members who have registered in Yonghe City one by one."

Lin Chen sighed: "This Ma Kang is too stubborn. He keeps pretending to be stupid and nothing can be asked. If he had spoken, Chu Yang and the others wouldn't have been so tired."

Fang Yonghui said, "Isn't he pretending to have a mental problem?"

Cai Xiaojing nodded: "The Municipal Bureau found a psychiatrist and did a comprehensive examination on Ma Kang. He is most likely pretending to be stupid."

"This idiot!" Fang Yonghui cursed.

Cai Xiaojing looked at Luo Rui and saw that he was silent and in deep thought. She couldn't help but ask, "What are you thinking about?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Director Luo, are you wondering if your children will be like these young masters and learn bad things?"

Luo Rui glanced at her and said, "Why are you talking about this? It's too early."

"It's getting late. You and Miss Mo are going to get engaged soon, and you will have a child right after you get married..."

"Engage...engaged?" Cai Xiaojing turned and looked at Lin Chen, then looked at Luo Rui, as if to confirm this matter.

Luo Rui avoided her gaze and nodded: "Yes, after this case is over, I will take a vacation for a while."

"Congratulations." Cai Xiaojing said lightly, then turned around, faced the road ahead, and said no more.

Lin Chen also looked out the left window at the early morning streets, dim street lights, and particles that looked like snow and rain flying in the low sky.

Luo Rui looked at Cai Xiaojing's back, but the latter was huddled in the seat, motionless.

Lin Chen withdrew his gaze from the car window, glanced at Luo Rui out of the corner of his eye, and pursed his lips.

The atmosphere became stagnant. Only Fang Yonghui made a few jokes from time to time, but no one paid any attention to him.

Half an hour later, the group arrived at Pang Zhi's residence.

She and other rich second-generation people like Ma Kang live in a villa area called Caotang Villa.

Qiao Xue and Sun Zhihao sat in the back car. After parking, Sun Zhihao walked forward, glanced at the inconspicuous gate of the community, and said, "I heard that the townhouses here, the small ones are all 15 million yuan each. Who can afford it?"

"Oh, if you can't afford it, then who can?" Lin Chen glanced at him and said bluntly.

Sun Zhihao frowned, somewhat confused, as if he had not offended Officer Lin, right? He smiled: "Lin Chen, you are joking."

"Really? Why did I hear that your uncle's villa is even more luxurious than this one?"

Hearing this, Sun Zhihao was stunned and his expression suddenly froze: "You...what are you..."

Lin Chen ignored him and followed Luo Rui into the community, standing very close to Cai Xiaojing.

Sun Zhihao was motionless, as if he was frozen. What did Lin Chen mean by this? Lin Chen's father was the most powerful person in the provincial department and one of the only two big figures in Haidong Province.

To put it bluntly, everything she said and did represented her father's opinion.

She suddenly said this, causing Sun Zhihao to sweat coldly.

Fang Yonghui parked the car and patted him on the shoulder as he passed by him.

Sun Zhihao was startled, his knees bent, and his body became half a head shorter.

"What are you doing?" Fang Yonghui frowned and asked, "Why are you standing here in the wind? Why don't you go in?"

"Oh, okay, okay." Sun Zhihao forced himself to calm down and walked into the community side by side with Fang Yonghui.

Feng Jianqiu led the team first and had already instructed the police to collect evidence in Ma Kang's villa.

When Luo Rui and others went in, only the dining room on the first floor had the lights on. Yi Chunlin and the city bureau's forensic doctor were lying on the floor of the living room, holding investigation lights, searching inch by inch for bloodstains.

Feng Jianqiu stood aside, lifted the hem of his clothes, put his hands on his waist, and said dejectedly: "Director Luo, we have retrieved the surveillance video of the villa area. The surveillance video is automatically overwritten after one month. In other words, we cannot confirm whether Cao Huanlei entered the villa area on the night of October 10. Not to mention whether Xu Feng and Su He were present that night, and whether Xu Feng dumped the body. We can't find out either."

Surveillance video is the most direct and intuitive evidence. As long as there is video footage of Cao Huanlei entering the community and not leaving, based on her relationship with Ma Kang and Xu Feng's testimony, although it cannot prove the fact that Ma Kang killed someone, it does meet the standards for submission for inspection.

Homicide cases are very different from general cases. The prosecution requires a complete chain of evidence. Even if it is incomplete, it must be strongly relevant. Compared with sexual assault and rape cases, as long as there is testimony from the victim and confession from the suspect, the case can be concluded as long as the suspect pleads guilty and accepts punishment.

Feng Jianqiu looked at the technical police officers in the room and continued, "We have carefully questioned the property security guards. The crime happened two months ago, and they don't remember any record of Cao Huanlei entering the community. So, now we can only pray to find evidence of the murder at the crime scene."

If Cao Huanlei's blood, DNA, or even a hair were found in the villa where Ma Kang lived, the victim, the assailant, and the scene could be linked.

As soon as Luo Rui saw the scene, he said, "It's been two months. Ma Kang shouldn't be stupid enough to keep the scene."

Feng Jianqiu sighed again and rubbed his red and swollen eyes: "Who said it wasn't? According to Xu Feng's testimony, the place where the murder took place and the place where the body was dismembered were both in the living room on the first floor, but you see, the coffee table and sofa have been replaced, the carpet is also new, and Ma Kang's villa has professional staff to clean it every day."

At this time, the technicians held several survey lights and surveyed the cracks in the floor, the edges of the corridors and other nooks, but still found nothing.

Feng Jianqiu said: "It would be the best if we can find Cao Huanlei's head. We can then convict Ma Kang of this crime and put him to death!"

"That depends on where it was found. If it was found somewhere else, we still can't catch Ma Kang and can't charge him with murder." Luo Rui replied, and then asked: "Where is the villa where Pang Zhi lives?"

"It's right behind, please follow me." Feng Jianqiu walked out, and Luo Rui and others followed behind him.

"Does Pang Zhi live alone? Or does she live with her family?"

"He lives alone. His brother Pang Ke's family all live in the city. It is said that they have children and bought a house in the school district, which makes it more convenient for the children to go to school."

The group walked along the complicated tree-lined path, passing a basketball court and a tennis court. Feng Jianqiu pointed to a tropical swimming pool and said, "It's right next to the swimming pool, that single-family villa."

Walking around the swimming pool, Luo Rui saw a middle-aged man in a brown suit standing in front of the villa door. Beside him stood several policemen in uniform. They should be the people sent by Feng Jianqiu to guard the villa.

The middle-aged man trotted over, passing Luo Rui directly, and nodded to Feng Jianqiu: "Captain Feng, right? I'm the secretary of Chairman Pang Ke. My last name is Zhang, you can just call me Xiao Zhang. Chairman Pang asked me to come and receive you."

Luo Rui blinked: "Oh? Director Pang didn't come himself?"

Secretary Zhang narrowed his eyes, and a condescending expression naturally appeared on his face. Perhaps in his eyes, only Feng Jianqiu's position at the scene made him look up to him, and other police officers were nothing.

"Feng Zhi, please follow me."

He ignored Luo Rui, mainly because apart from his tall stature, Luo Rui was unremarkable. After staying up for two nights, he didn't even have time to take a shower. His clothes gave off a faint sour smell, and what he wore was very ordinary. His pair of sneakers was also dirty. It was obvious that he was a slave in the criminal police detachment.

Feng Jianqiu was different. He wore shiny leather shoes, an executive jacket without a single wrinkle, and held his head high with his hands behind his back, looking like a big leader.

Outsiders didn't know Luo Rui's identity, so they could naturally neglect him. But Feng Jianqiu didn't dare to do that. If Luo Rui gave up, he would be the one who would be tired. He immediately introduced him, "Secretary Zhang, right? This case is in charge of the comrade from our provincial department. This is the captain of the Criminal Police Brigade of the Public Security Department of Haidong Province, Luo Rui, Director Luo."

Secretary Zhang was stunned, puffed his lips, turned around, and his expression changed very quickly. He immediately shook Luo Rui's hand enthusiastically: "Director Luo, hello, hello, I didn't recognize the great man. I am guilty, guilty."

Obviously, this man was a very popular person in the business world. He did not feel embarrassed at all and seemed to have forgotten that he had previously treated Luo Rui as an ordinary criminal policeman.

Luo Rui didn't argue with him, but asked, "Is Pang Zhi Chairman Pang's biological sister?"

"Yes."

"Why didn't he come? His own sister died, and he didn't even come to see her?"

Secretary Zhang sighed and said, "Well, this is a long story. Although Director Pang and Miss Pang are siblings, their relationship is not good. Miss Pang has a bad personality, and Director Pang is very troubled by this sister."

Luo Rui nodded: "Open the door."

"it is good."

Secretary Zhang trotted to the door of the villa with a briefcase in hand, entered a string of numbers into the combination lock beside the door, and the double doors popped open.

He grasped the door handle, pushed the door open, and then turned on the light on the first floor of the villa.

Luo Rui and others took out disposable gloves and put them on as they walked in.

"So damn rich, what a huge crystal chandelier." Fang Yonghui looked up and saw a huge crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling on the third floor. He turned to look at Sun Zhihao: "Xiao Sun, you are familiar with luxury goods, how much does this crystal chandelier cost?"

Sun Zhihao wanted to answer, but after seeing Lin Chen's back, he immediately chose to shut up.

Secretary Zhang, who was standing by, holding a briefcase in both hands, said with some envy, "Director Pang ordered it from abroad. It is said to be worth more than two million. It can emit more than a dozen different colors of light at the same time. The colors are different from top to bottom. It is magnificent."

Luo Rui looked at the crystal chandelier. It was indeed magnificent, with the soft light shining on everyone's faces.

Then he looked at Secretary Zhang: "Pang Zhi studied sculpture. Does she have a studio here?"

"I don't know about that. I haven't been here before."

Feng Jianqiu said, "We probably can't handle such a big villa with just a few people. Ma Kang's family is currently being surveyed. We probably have to wait until they are done before we have time to survey here."

Luo Rui thought about it and came up with an idea: "Send someone to find two corpse-hunting dogs."

"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away!"

Then, Luo Rui took Lin Chen and Fang Yonghui up the spiral staircase.

Cai Xiaojing, Qiao Xue and Sun Zhihao were searching on the first floor.

There were twelve rooms in the villa. They searched each room carefully, but found nothing except marveling at the luxury of the rich.

The second floor is the master bedroom. Luo Rui opened the door and stepped in. He felt that this didn't look like a bedroom at all. It was even larger than the living area of ​​an ordinary family of six.

There is a separate wardrobe, double bathroom and a large balcony.

Above the headboard of a two-meter-long bed, a photo of a family of three is hung.

Lin Chen immediately took out his tablet computer, searched for a while, and said, "Director Luo, the man in the photo is Pang Zhi's brother, Pang Ke. The woman and child should be his wife and children."

Pang Ke looks very ordinary, but his eyes are very shrewd, and he stares at the camera when taking pictures.

Luo Rui stood at the end of the bed, looked at the photo carefully, and said, "The relationship between the couple is not harmonious."

"Oh?" Lin Chen asked, "Director Luo, how did you figure that out?"

Luo Rui pursed his lips and said, "Look at the way his wife is standing. She has one hand around the child's shoulder, her toes are pointed outward, and the expression on her face is very perfunctory. She seems to be escaping."

Lin Chen suddenly realized: "Just looking at the body language, it seems to be true."

It is at this time, a few years later, when the Internet becomes more developed, that some powerful keyboard warriors can judge that the woman is cheating by the standing posture of celebrity couples.

Luo Rui walked to the dressing table and scraped the surface with his fingers. There was not a speck of dust on his fingertips. It seemed that the cleaning staff came to clean frequently.

In addition, there were a wide variety of cosmetics on the table. Luo Rui didn't recognize most of them, but he recognized one of the bottles of eye cream with Korean text.

He picked up the bottle and looked it over closely before his eyes.

After Fang Yonghui saw his movements, he came over and asked, "Luo Da, did you find anything?"

Luo Rui glanced at him and quickly put down the eye cream: "No, no..."

He had just put the bottle down when Lin Chen took it away, unscrewed the lid, and sniffed it: "It's the same eye cream that our Captain Cai gave me. This brand is quite expensive."

Of course, this was produced by her family. Luo Rui also smelled it and it smelled like Cai Dui.

Few people know about Cai Xiaojing's family background. She has never told anyone about it, and Luo Rui will not tell anyone about it either.

"Stop looking and get down to business." Luo Rui ordered.

Then, Fang Yonghui and Lin Chen searched the bedroom carefully. After finding no clues, they went to the bedroom at the corner of the second floor.

After opening the door, Luo Rui turned on the light in the room and sniffed: "This room should be Pang Zhi's bedroom."

Although Pang Ke's bedroom was often cleaned, there was a smell of dust floating in the air as long as no one lived there, but the bedroom in front of him obviously did not have this smell.

Sure enough, after the three people went in, they saw that the bed was very messy, the quilt cover was touching the floor, and the white sofa at the end of the bed was also piled with clothes.

The lighting in this bedroom is dim, and the decoration is in a Gothic style, with black all over.

After Fang Yonghui and Lin Chen entered, they immediately began searching.

He searched the closet, dressing table, under the bed, in drawers, and even the pockets of almost every piece of clothing.

Luo Rui came to the bathroom diagonally opposite the bedroom. After entering, he observed it carefully.

After searching in vain, his attention was drawn to the top cover of the toilet.

The water pump cover is made of ceramic, with an opening three inches below. The top cover, which was originally neatly fitted, is slightly offset.

Luo Rui took out the military dagger he was carrying, inserted the tip of the knife into the gap, and pushed the handle of the dagger hard with the base of his palm. After the tip of the knife was inserted, he pried it upwards with force, and the lid was pushed open.

After Luo Rui took the lid away, he put it aside and looked towards the water tank.

There was a wrapped waterproof bag inside, and he reached out and took the bag out.

Under the light from the bathroom ceiling, Luo Rui's eyes suddenly froze.

There was a small bag of drugs in the waterproof bag, and also a set of teeth made of gold.

At this time, Lin Chen just walked to the bathroom door. Seeing what he had in his hand, his eyes widened: "This... is this a human tooth?"

"I don't know." Luo Rui looked at the teeth carefully. Every tooth was smooth, beautiful, neat and full.

He counted them carefully and found that there were 31 teeth in total.

Lin Chen held back his nausea, walked over, and asked again: "Is this Cao Huanlei's tooth?"

"It's almost certain." Luo Rui was just guessing, but this woman Pang Zhi hid this thing so secretly, it couldn't be a handicraft.

Immediately, the barking of police dogs was heard in the villa.

Luo Rui and two other people came to the corridor and saw two police dogs, led by their trainers, rushing to the third floor.

They were the two police dogs that discovered the two rotting corpses in the well. After Cao Huanlei was dismembered, her body was thrown into the well.

Find these two police dogs with bad behavior, they are familiar with this smell.

Sure enough, not long after, Feng Jianqiu ran down from upstairs. Halfway up the stairs, he shouted to Luo Rui, "Director Luo, the cadaver-hunting dogs have made a discovery."

"Oh, where is it?" Luo Rui strode forward.

Feng Jianqiu saw what he was holding and wanted to ask, but he answered first: "There is a sculpture room on the third floor, right inside."

After a few people ran over, they saw that the huge sculpture room was filled with sculpture samples, and there were also many sketches of sculptures hanging on three walls.

There is the Venus de Milo, a naked man throwing a discus, a statue of David, and so on.

The two police dogs did not run around "wantonly", but squatted in front of a statue that was one meter tall. The statue was covered with a gray dust cloth, so it was impossible to see what the sculpture was.

Luo Rui handed the thing in his hand to Lin Chen. Lin Chen was startled and quickly threw it to Fang Yonghui.

Luo Rui walked over and first touched the heads of the two police dogs to show encouragement, then stood up and reached out to lift the dust cover.

Under the bright lights from the ceiling, a sculpture of a woman appeared before everyone's eyes.

The woman was quite old and her exact age was impossible to guess, but the skin on her face was like chicken skin, her hair was also white, and she was leaning on a cane made of a tree branch.

She was naked, with her legs drooping over her belly.

Although it is called a belly, in fact the organs and intestines in the abdominal cavity have been sculpted out, with every detail visible.

The most important thing is that a baby is sculpted in the uterus in the abdominal cavity. It is not an embryo, but a fully formed baby. The baby's fingers are in his mouth and his eyes are slightly closed.

Seeing this scene, everyone gasped.

Fang Yonghui smacked his lips and said, "Are all artists so abstract?"

He was quite reserved in his words and didn't mention the word "madman".

Lin Chen agreed, "You know what, these people's spiritual world is really different from that of ordinary people. For example, when they take drugs, their excuse is to find inspiration, so..."

Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by the barking of a police dog.

Lin Chen looked up and saw Luo Rui stretched out his hand with a military knife in his hand.

He placed the tip of the knife against the face of the sculpture and scraped away the clay bit by bit.

Everyone gathered around, and Feng Jianqiu also found two flashlights, turned on the lights, and shone them on Luo Rui's movements.

As the clay sculpture fragments fell bit by bit in front of Luo Rui's eyes, the sculpture's facial features disappeared, revealing a pale human mandible.

The flashlight in Feng Jianqiu's hand trembled, and after swallowing a mouthful of saliva, he said in an excited voice with a hint of regret: "Finally found the clue!"
