Detective: From the Police Academy

Chapter 418 His motive for murder!
Suspect: Kong Zhijie.

Age: 41 years old.

Birthplace: Qingyang City.

Marital status: Married with one daughter.

At four o'clock in the morning, the details of Kong Zhijie's crime had been sorted out.

Luo Rui stood in front of the whiteboard, arms folded, staring at Kong Zhijie in police uniform.

He has high cheekbones, swollen eyelids, and deep eyes. At first glance, he doesn't look like a vicious person.

At this time, there was constant yawning in the conference room. It was late at night and everyone was a little exhausted.

If we were to say who was the most energetic, it would be Cao Yang who was sitting in the corner. He did not lie down and continue pretending to sleep. Instead, he stared at Luo Rui's every move without blinking. He looked as if he wanted to eat Luo Rui alive.

However, Yan Wu, who was sitting next to him, had eaten and drunk his fill, and continued to sleep soundly with his hands between his thighs.

Luo Rui didn't care about them at all, and he didn't guard against anything. He turned around and said, "Captain Cai, tell me about this case."

Cai Xiaojing nodded, stood up and picked up the sorted materials.

"The crime happened on July 2007, 7, in a small alley behind a cafe called 'Tiantian Internet Cafe' on Fumin Road in Qingyang City. At 18 a.m., after the sanitation workers came to work, they found the bodies of two young people in a metal trash can in the alley.

After the police were called, the local police station arrived and then notified the city police..."

"I led the team to the scene."

At this time, Cao Yang stood up, his brows furrowed. Although he had heavy dark circles under his eyes, his eyes were bright.

Luo Rui looked at him and raised his eyebrows: "Captain Cao, why don't you tell us about it? You should know the situation best."

Cao Yang hesitated for a moment and said, "Just tell me, this case is very simple, not as complicated as you think."

He walked to the whiteboard, took a deep look at Kong Zhijie's photo, sighed, and said, "The exact time the body was found was 6:05. After the local police station notified us, we dispatched the police at 6:40."

As he spoke, Chu Yang operated the computer and projected the photos taken on the scene onto the big screen. Fang Yonghui immediately turned off the white woven light on the ceiling above the screen.

The screen suddenly became bright, and everyone's eyes immediately looked over.

The first photo shows the on-site environment. You can see that the alley is no more than five meters wide. Behind it is a three-meter-high red brick wall and an abandoned construction site.

Chu Yang pressed the direction key and the second photo appeared. This photo was taken under the wall. It can be seen that this side is the back door of the Internet cafe. In addition, there is a restaurant and a convenience store at the intersection.

The third photo was taken deep in the alley, up a slope, next to the Internet cafe, there are two large metal trash cans.

The fourth photo shows the inside of a trash can, with two bodies curled up inside.

One of the bodies was lying sideways with its legs bent and its face could not be seen.

The second body had its legs facing upwards and its upper body sunk into the trash can. Its head was submerged in various colored garbage bags, including black, white, and red, and its face could not be seen clearly.

However, judging from the clothes the two bodies were wearing, it was estimated that they were not very old.

Sure enough, the next photos taken showed the face of the corpse and the condition of its wounds.

Cao Yang came to the screen and continued: "This is what we saw when we arrived at the scene.

That morning, we found out the identities of the two deceased. The first deceased was named Du Yu, who was 19 years old when he was killed. The second deceased was named Zhang Qiang, who was 18 years old when he was killed.

Both of them were school dropouts with no proper jobs. They were idle hooligans who liked to fight.

Their source of income is protection fees, specifically taking money from students.

At 8 o'clock in the evening on the day before the incident, the two people came to the "Tiantian Internet Cafe" to surf the Internet. The Internet cafe manager and the people who were surfing the Internet at that time can confirm this. In addition, there are surveillance cameras installed in the Internet cafe. After we retrieved the surveillance cameras, we also proved that they were indeed frequent visitors to the Internet cafe.

The two men were sitting at machines 45 and 46, playing games until : in the morning. They left through the back door because they had no money to recharge.

Why did they go through the back door? Because the place where the crime occurred, which is on the slope, is their home.

At that time, there were only a few people in the Internet cafe, and the administrator was sleeping at the front counter, so Du Yu and Zhang Qiang were killed immediately after they walked out the back door.

At this time, the crime scene appeared on the big screen.

Cao Yang continued: "Look at the bloodstains on the ground. The murderer attacked these two people after they walked 20 meters up.

Du Yu was stabbed eighteen times, almost every time in the vital parts.

Zhang Qiang was also stabbed 23 times, with all fatal wounds in the chest.

The autopsy photos of the two people appeared on the big screen. The muscles with wounds turned outward were shocking to look at, especially Zhang Qiang’s chest, which was stabbed into honeycomb coal by the murderer.

Luo Rui stared at the photo of the corpse for a while and said, "Judging from the accuracy and ferocity of this assassination, it was undoubtedly a revenge killing."

Fang Yonghui asked, "These two people are not short, and they are both quite young. How come they don't even have the chance to resist?"

Lin Chen replied: "You will understand clearly after watching Kong Zhijie's interrogation video."

Fang Yonghui pouted and said, "How long will it take to see all this material? Now that you know, hurry up and tell us. Don't keep us in suspense."

Lin Chen rolled his eyes and was about to speak when Luo Rui quickly snatched the pen from Lin Chen's hand, then put his hand on Fang Yonghui's shoulder and turned him over.

"Luo Da..." he screamed.

Luo Rui ignored him and stood behind Fang Yonghui. He kicked his calf lightly, covered his mouth with his left hand, held a gel pen in his right hand, and kept waving the pen in his right hand, stabbing Fang Yonghui's chest.

"Twenty-three times in a row." Luo Rui let go of Fang Yonghui. "Zhang Qiang should be the first to be killed. He was attacked from behind by the murderer. He was killed in a short time without any warning."

Lin Chen smacked his lips and nodded, "That's exactly what Kong Zhijie said in his confession, and the method of killing is exactly the same as what Director Luo did just now."

Luo Rui pointed to the wound on Du Yu's back on the screen: "After killing Zhang Qiang, the murderer attacked Du Yu from behind. He stabbed him in the waist and abdomen. The wound was smooth, and the muscles were rolled up. After pulling out the knife..."

Luo Rui pulled Fang Yonghui's body towards him, facing him, and holding the tip of the pen in reverse, stabbed it into his abdomen again and again.

As for Luo Rui's reconstruction of the murder scene, the others acted as if it was nothing special. However, Cao Yang was stunned. He swallowed his saliva and asked, "Luo Yan... Director Luo, have you read Kong Zhijie's confession?"

Luo Rui glanced at him: "I guessed."

"Guess?" Cao Yang was surprised: "Then tell me, why didn't the second victim Du Yu have any defense?"

"It's obvious, right?" Luo Rui waved at the screen. Chu Yang quickly replayed the photo he had just released and returned to the photo of the corpse in the trash can.

Luo Rui pointed at Du Yu's belt buckle and said, "When Zhang Qiang was killed, Du Yu should have gone to a place to relieve himself, and he didn't notice what was happening behind him. After killing Zhang Qiang, the murderer immediately ran over and attacked him from behind, first stabbing him in the waist and abdomen, then turning his body over and stabbing him repeatedly."

After hearing what he said, Cao Yang opened his eyes wide and looked at Sun Zhihao standing beside him. Both of them had participated in the investigation of the [718 case] and naturally knew it best.

As soon as Fang Yonghui saw their expressions, he knew that this was most likely how the crime was committed.

While Lin Chen was praising him, he also mocked Cao Yang: "It has to be Director Luo, otherwise how could Director Sun and Captain Cao be so frightened, afraid that they would find out something."

Luo Rui waved his hands, not wanting to argue any further. "Captain Cao, please continue. How did you identify Kong Zhijie as the perpetrator? What was the motive for the murder?"

Cao Yang took a breath and recalled: "It was the surveillance camera in the Internet cafe. Kong Zhijie appeared in the 'Tiantian Internet Cafe' around ten o'clock the night before. When we were watching the surveillance camera, we found his figure. After all, Kong Zhijie is..."

He did not say the word "policeman" out loud: "At that time, we were also puzzled, and on the morning of the police dispatch, Kong Zhijie did not return to the team. I called him and he said he was not feeling well and wanted to take a few days off.

After watching the surveillance video, we thought about the circumstances when the two victims were killed. The murderer was obviously an expert in using a knife. Most criminal suspects hold the knife with the blade facing forward. The suspect who holds the knife with the backhand must have certain skills and knows how to kill people in the most lethal way.

Moreover, both victims were stabbed dozens of times in a row. This kind of psychological quality is not something that most people have, so we immediately went to Kong Zhijie's home to investigate.

It was finally discovered that Kong Zhijie was not at home after 8 o'clock that night, and he did not come back all night, and his wife did not know where he had gone.

Finally, after visiting, we found that Kong Zhijie's daughter, Kong Qiu, had some connection with the two victims."

At this point, Cao Yang paused, his mood somewhat gloomy: "It is common for us criminal police to be away from home for three to five days. Kong Zhijie is the same. He has been working on the case all year round and neglected to discipline his daughter.

So Kong Qiu became a bad girl, not listening to her parents, and hanging out with the bad people in society. What about her..."

Cao Yang's words were stuck in his throat and he seemed unable to continue.

At this time, Sun Zhihao spoke up: "Captain Kong... No, after Kong Zhijie knew about his daughter's situation, he persuaded Kong Qiu many times and asked her to transfer to another school. But who knew that she didn't go to school at all and actually mixed up with Zhang Qiang and Du Yu.

When these two damned guys ran out of money, they asked her for it. When she ran out of money, she went to steal from home. When she really had no money left, Zhang Qiang and Du Yu gave her...

At that time, the two beasts also took photos, which were sent to Kong Qiu's home. After her mother received the photos, she completely collapsed. She did not dare to tell Kong Zhijie, so she secretly gave them money in an attempt to keep things quiet.

Who would have thought that these two crazy people would upload these photos to an Internet cafe. The people who surf the Internet in this Internet cafe are all students from Kong Qiu’s school. This has pushed Kong Qiu into a desperate situation..."

Hearing this, Lin Chen gritted his teeth and asked, "What happened to this girl in the end?"

Cao Yang took over the conversation: "He jumped off the building the night before the [718 case] happened."

Fang Yonghui cursed: "I said these two people are definitely not good people, and it turns out to be true!"

Luo Rui asked: "Is this girl dead?"

Cao Yang shook his head: "He is not dead, but his spine is severely damaged and he is paralyzed. This is the motive for murder that Kong Zhijie confessed. After Kong Qiu was sent to the hospital, Kong Zhijie learned the whole story and went crazy looking for the two guys. This also explains why Kong Zhijie appeared in the video surveillance of the Internet cafe."

Luo Rui looked solemn and ordered, "Find the surveillance video of the Internet cafe and the interrogation video of Kong Zhijie confessing his guilt."

Soon, the video was projected on the big screen.

The time displayed in the upper left corner of the screen is 2007 o'clock in the evening on July 7, 17.

Du Yu and Zhang Qiang, who had dyed yellow hair, came in from the front door of the Internet cafe, bought a pack of cigarettes and two bottles of iced black tea at the front desk, and then walked into the Internet cafe.

Because of the video angle, the surveillance video can only capture the front half of the seats in aircraft No. 45, which means that half of Du Yu's face can just be seen. As for aircraft No. 46, it is in the surveillance blind spot.

After the two sat down, they turned on the computer and played games with laughter. During this time, a few familiar people in the Internet cafe greeted the two of them, but they also went online.

It was after ten o'clock, and just two minutes later, Kong Zhijie came in from the front door. He did not ask at the counter, but walked along the rows of seats, checking the people who were surfing the Internet. He pressed the heads of several of them and turned their faces away.

The video quality is very poor and Kong Zhijie's facial expression is blurry, but it can be seen from his body language that his movements were very rough.

When they came to the innermost row of computer desks, the seat to the left of Du Yu was empty, so when Kong Zhijie turned around, he saw Du Yu's face.

Immediately, Kong Zhijie walked over quickly, but halfway through, he suddenly slowed down, as if he was suppressing his emotions, and slowly came behind Du Yu and Zhang Qiang.

At this time, the surveillance camera could no longer capture his face and his facial expression could not be seen.

More than ten minutes later, Kong Zhijie appeared in the surveillance again. He did not do anything to Du Yu and Zhang Qiang, and the two of them were so focused on playing games that they did not even look back.

At around 10:20, Kong Zhijie left through the back door and the video ended here.

Lin Chen immediately asked, "How did he recognize these two people so quickly?"

Cao Yang explained: "We checked the photos these two guys took of Kong Qiu. They showed their faces. Kong Zhijie should have seen these photos."

"But he didn't do anything." Lin Chen frowned.

Cao Yang replied: "What is Kong Zhijie's identity? How could he kill someone under surveillance?"

Luo Rui asked: "Kong Zhijie surrendered in front of his daughter's bed 24 hours after the incident, right?"

Cao Yang nodded: "That's right. After we went to his house, as soon as we heard about his daughter's condition, Director Sun took us to the hospital. When we arrested Kong Zhijie, he did not resist at all."

"Where's the murder weapon?"

At this time, Cai Xiaojing handed him a photo: "The murder weapon is a two-finger-wide knife. Kong Zhijie's wife confirmed that this knife is a fruit knife commonly used in their family.

The blood extracted from the blade matched the DNA of the two victims, and the handle also had Kong Zhijie’s fingerprints.”

Luo Rui frowned and nodded to Chu Yang: "Play Kong Zhijie's interrogation video."

At this moment, Cao Yang approached Luo Rui and said, "Director Luo, the evidence and confession are complete, as you have seen. There is really nothing to investigate. There is really no problem with this case.

Director Sun and the others didn’t want to talk about it because Kong Zhijie’s crime had a very bad impact on us. To put it bluntly, at the time, the media reported that Kong Zhijie had…actually used lynching…”

Before he could finish his words, Luo Rui picked up a photo from the conference table and handed it to him.

Cao Yang saw that it was a photo taken when Kong Zhijie was arrested in the hospital. He wondered, "What... does this mean?"

"Captain Cao, you just watched the video of Kong Zhijie appearing in the Internet cafe. In less than 24 hours, his clothes changed.

He was wearing a white polo shirt in the Internet cafe, and when you arrested him, he had changed into a black crew neck shirt. It took less than 24 hours for him to change his clothes.

Cao Yang asked suspiciously: "Is there any problem with this?"

Luo Rui put the photo back on the table, crossed his arms, and stared at him: "During the interrogation, did you ask Kong Zhijie why he changed his clothes?"

"Isn't this normal?" Cao Yang replied, glancing at Sun Zhihao.

Sun Zhihao came over and asked, "Director Luo, what happened?"

"Okay." Luo Rui stopped keeping the secret and said directly, "The two victims were stabbed so badly that they bled a lot. I just want to ask, are there any traces of the victims' blood and biological samples on the clothes that Kong Zhijie was wearing when he killed them? Can they match?"

Cao Yang swallowed his saliva and said, "Captain Cai just said that the murder weapon came from a source. The murder weapon was stained with the victim's blood, and the remaining fingerprints also matched Kong Zhijie's fingerprints. Isn't this obvious physical evidence?"

Luo Rui said: "That knife did kill someone, but who did it? Was it really Kong Zhijie?"

Cao Yang suddenly became angry: "Director Luo, you still don't believe it? Okay, okay, let's watch the interrogation. After we finish watching it, I'll see if you have anything to say!"

Luo Rui had no objection and didn't argue with him.

"Team leader, that's enough." Chu Yang said to Luo Rui.

Then, everyone turned their heads to look at the big screen.

The camera was pointed at Kong Zhijie's face. He was sitting in the interrogation chair with his hands handcuffed on the interrogation table and his eyes lowered.

"Yes, I killed them. Those two bastards hurt my daughter like this. I can't let them go!"

"Kong Zhijie, please start from the beginning." The person questioning was Sun Kang, who should be the presiding judge. His tone seemed a little sad, and he was not as strong as he would be to ordinary suspects.

“…After my daughter jumped off the building the night before yesterday, I learned the truth. When I saw the photos my wife had hidden, I was completely stunned. My mind went blank and I had only one thought: to kill them!
After I sent my daughter to the hospital, I immediately went to look for these two people. I found them in the Internet cafe my daughter often went to. I had a knife on me at the time, but I didn't rush to take action because I didn't want to cause trouble for the Internet cafe.

I waited at the back door. It was around three in the morning, I don’t remember the exact time. When they came out, they were talking and laughing. When I saw their look, I was furious.

While the beast with dyed yellow hair went to urinate, I took out the knife, hugged the fat man from behind, and stabbed him in the chest continuously. I don't know how many times I stabbed him. After killing him, I went to find the yellow-haired man, stabbed him with a knife first, then turned his body and stabbed him many times in the face.

After killing people, I threw their bodies into the trash. After that, I took a taxi to the hospital to be with my daughter. ”

After Kong Zhijie finished speaking, he raised his face slightly, his eyes red: "Director Sun, I killed the person, I'm sorry, I discredited him... I'm sorry..."

Sun Kang was silent for a long time, then he said, "Kong Zhijie, tell us what happened again."

Kong Zhijie was stunned for a moment, and then he started talking again, with no difference from what he had just said.
"...Director Sun, this is what happened. No matter how you try me, I will plead guilty."

"Start from the beginning and tell me again!" Sun Kang's voice was cold, as if he was gritting his teeth.

His face did not appear in the video, but one can imagine his expression at the time; he must have been furious.

"This……"

Kong Zhijie swallowed his saliva and was about to speak when a strange voice sounded on the screen: "Stop talking, sign and seal the evidence!"

At this time, the recorder appeared on the screen, holding the recorded confession and asked Kong Zhijie to sign it.

Kong Zhijie held the pen, lowered his head, and did not move for a long time.

He knew very well that as long as he signed, the charge would be confirmed.

Sun Kang's voice sounded again: "Kong Zhijie, do you have anything else to say? I'm here, just go ahead."

"I'm sorry! Director Sun, I'm sorry!"

Kong Zhijie did not raise his head, but resolutely signed his name, pressed the ink pad with his thumb, and pressed hard on the confession.

After the interrogation video was played, everyone in the conference room was silent and no one spoke.

After all, Kong Zhijie is one of them, and everyone asks themselves whether they can hold on to their bottom line if they face the same situation as him.

Cao Yang sighed deeply and looked at Luo Rui, who had his eyes tightly closed: "How is it? Director Luo, is there any problem with this case?"

When he asked this, everyone looked at Luo Rui, waiting for his answer.

Seeing that he had been silent for a long time, Lin Chen analyzed: "From the physical evidence collected throughout the case, and Kong Zhijie's confession of guilt and acceptance of punishment, there is indeed no problem in sending it for inspection."

Fang Yonghui disagreed: "I think there is a problem. Kong Zhijie's daughter was still in the hospital for treatment and her life was in danger, but Kong Zhijie went to kill someone. This is obviously not in line with common sense. Moreover, this was a murder in the heat of the moment. After finding these two people in the Internet cafe, he could not have tolerated it.

If he had been able to hold back, I don’t think he would have stabbed the two victims so many times! ”

Cao Yang didn't care about their opinions, but stared at Luo Rui: "Director Luo, please tell me, are you going to investigate or not?"

Luo Rui opened his eyes and replied, "It's not me who wants to check, it's Director Sun who wants to check."

"Haha..." Cao Yang seemed to have heard a joke: "Director Luo, are you kidding us?"

"I'm not kidding you." Luo Rui instructed Chu Yang, "Continue to replay the surveillance video of the Internet cafe."

Then, he looked at Cao Yang, who had a playful expression on his face. "Captain Cao, think about it carefully. Why did Director Sun come to the provincial department to find me? Doesn't he have the ability to lead you to solve the [404 case]?"
You also saw the interrogation video just now. From beginning to end, your Director Sun Kang did not believe that Kong Zhijie would kill someone. It was not me who wanted to overturn the verdict, but him!"

Hearing this, the smile on Cao Yang's face froze instantly, and everyone was stunned.

Sun Zhihao swallowed his saliva and was about to open his mouth when Luo Rui spoke word by word: "Among the hundreds of police officers in Qingyang City Bureau, only he believes that Kong Zhijie is innocent, but you, Captain Cao, are not one of them!"
