After a night of investigation and analysis, Uncle Jiange has grasped the truth of the Li Shilan gas explosion. He asked Captain Hou to summon all the people involved in the case to the Li Family Manor, and both suspects and witnesses must arrive in the living room before two o'clock in the afternoon. He wants to uncover the truth of this murder in front of everyone and point out the identity of the murderer.
Uncle Jiange and I arrived at the Li Family Manor ten minutes early. We went into the living room and found it already packed with people. On the sofa sat Liu Xiaojing, the mistress of the Li family manor, she looked haggard and her eyes were black, and next to her two girlfriends, Shi Xiaoyu and Wang Meimei, they also looked a little nervous. Behind the sofa stood Zhang Mengling, the nanny of Liu Xiaojing's house, who looked calm but occasionally secretly glanced at the hostess on the sofa. Opposite the sofa were several dining chairs, on which sat Liu Xiaojing's driver, Qin Sen, his wife and children. Qin Sen's family had different expressions, some frightened, some angry, some helpless, and some expectant. There was also an empty chair next to the dining chair, which was the place left for Li Shilan.
On one side of the living room is a small coffee table, and next to the coffee table sits their neighbor: He Lihui. Li Mingming and He Xiaoya, who are still in custody, are also sitting next to them, and Uncle Jiange has also let them bring them, they are still handcuffed and guarded by the police.
Outside the living room stood Captain Hou and several of his policemen. They stared at everyone in the living room with serious expressions, as if they were ready to strike at any time to subdue the criminals.
Uncle Jiange walked to the center of the living room and put down a folder and a voice recorder on the coffee table. He looked around, and everyone present watched him with bated breath. "Distinguished ladies and gentlemen," Uncle Jiange said, clearing his throat, "thank you for being here on time to listen to my old man." "
Uncle Jiange continued: "After half a month of unremitting efforts, we have found out the truth of the Li Shilan gas explosion. Today I will explain to you the truth of this case, whether it is an accident or an elaborate murder. If it weren't for an accident, then we would reveal the true face of the murderer and make him pay for his crime. At the same time, we will also clear the innocent wronged. "
"To explain the ins and outs of this case from beginning to end, you have to start 25 years ago, so please calm down and listen to me, an old man, slowly break it." 25 years ago, there was a young couple who were doing small commodity wholesale business in Yiwu. They sell a variety of toys, accessories, handicrafts, daily necessities and other products there, hoping to earn a fortune. Unfortunately, due to lack of experience and financial support, the small couple did not do well in business and owed a lot of usury debts. They are often violently collected and intimidated by creditors, and repeatedly call the police for help. At this time, he nodded at He Lihui and said, "If I say something wrong, please correct me at any time." "
He Lihui's expression was wooden, motionless, as if she hadn't heard anything.
Uncle Jiange continued: "One of the creditors, the little couple owes him the most money, so he collects the most frequently, and the means used are also the most extreme of these creditors. Then one day, a fire broke out in the home of the young couple, and the husband was burned alive at home, and the wife happened to go back to her mother's house in the past few days, thus escaping the disaster. At that time, DNA identification technology was not yet developed, so the identification of the deceased was confirmed by the identification of the body after the wife rushed back. As for the cause of the fire house, there were many opinions at that time, some people said that the largest creditor caused the fire when collecting debts, some said that violent debt collection forced people to commit suicide, and another said that they created a fake fire cicada to escape the debt. For this reason, the largest creditor of the two companies was also detained for several months under investigation, but in the end, nothing was found out, and the family had to be released. "
After the fire, the wife of the young couple left Yiwu, the place that caused her pain, changed her name and started a new life after dealing with her husband's affairs, and soon after gave birth to their widow. "
He Lihui finally spoke: "Yes, the wife in this story you are telling is me." What you said is also true, but what does this have to do with the case we are going to discuss today? "
"Don't worry, listen to me finish. Uncle Jiange stretched out his hand and made a "quiet" motion, "Actually, I sympathize with you, I suffered such a big change at a young age, and I never remarried later, and I pulled my daughter up alone." "
"But the question is: Is the husband in this little couple really dead? Was it really the husband himself who burned to death in the fire at that time? "
"Now that we know the answer, it's not. We don't know who the man who died in the fire was, but the husband, who was originally thought to be burned, escaped from usury with a golden cicada. And all this, even you yourself do not know. "
He Lihui didn't say a word, but her lips were trembling with excitement.
"After changing your name and leaving Yiwu, you came here to settle down, thinking that this life would be like this, but you didn't want things to start changing about a year ago. "
Now back to Li Shilan. Yes, Li Shilan is the husband in the story of creating a fake fire and using someone else's corpse. After escaping alone, he changed his appearance and took the name Li Shilan to Shanxi to make a living, probably because he was very handsome and lucky, and soon won the favor of Qianjin, the boss of the coal mine where he worked at the time, So he concealed his past identity and the fact that he had been married once, became a door-to-door son-in-law, and later had a son, and his father-in-law also gave him a small coal mine for him to run. "
However, Li Shilan's son-in-law's life was not satisfactory, his wife at that time was pampered and willful since childhood, so he often encountered domestic violence and was often beaten with a blue nose and a swollen face. "
"Always in this life, it is natural, many years later Li Shilan began to cheat, he fell in love with his secretary at the mine at that time, this girl is very young, very beautiful and gentle and understanding, as soon as she graduated, she became Li Shilan's secretary , In terms of the situation at that time, it may be said that she has become Li Shilan's spiritual harbor, and she has always been willing to accompany Li Shilan. Uncle Jiange looked at Liu Xiaojing and said.
This companionship lasted for many years, and then Li Shilan's son grew up to 18 years old, and they finally decided to divorce and let each other go. This decision was supported by Li Shilan's father-in-law at the time, who also knew his daughter's character, and perhaps out of guilt, he gave the small coal mine to Li Shilan as compensation. So after Li Shilan divorced, he married the little secretary who had always been with him. Now we also know that the little secretary back then was the mistress of the current Li family manor, Liu Xiaojing. "
"Li Shilan and Liu Xiaojing have lived in Shanxi for a few years, and about a year ago they decided to move to Zhejiang, as for the reason, probably related to the fact that the small coal mines in Shanxi are not doing well and facing national macro-control; It is also related to Li Shilan's intention to keep up with the Internet boom and open several Internet companies in Hangzhou; It may also be related to Li Shilan being a native of Wenzhou, Zhejiang. "
"Anyway, they bought the villa a year ago and settled here. "
However, life is often like this, full of coincidences, Li Shilan and He Lihui have become neighbors by mistake. After twenty-five years of ups and downs, they didn't recognize each other at first. "
"That's right, here, we also know: He Xiaoya and Li Mingming are half-siblings. "
"This can't be true! You're all! That's impossible! Hearing these words, Li Mingming became very excited, and although his movement was restricted in handcuffs, he hysterically interrupted Uncle Jiange's words.
"At first, we never thought in this direction," Uncle Jiange continued after the police stopped Li Mingming and calmed him down, "until one day, I found that you two have many similarities, such as height. Of course, the most obvious feature is the eyes. Later, both of you were detained, one suspected by the police, and the other voluntarily turned themselves in. The police took the DNA of the two of you and compared it, confirming my guess. This also explains why Li Shilan later so fiercely opposed the two of you being together. "
"Okay, I'm done telling the story of the past." Uncle Jiange stood in the center of the living room, looked around at everyone, and asked, "Does anyone of you need to refute or add?" "
Silence, everyone was silent, there was silence in the hall. Shi Xiaoyu and Wang Meimei both looked very excited and eager to say something, but seeing that everyone was so silent, the two of them also tried to maintain restraint.
After a while, Uncle Jiange spoke again: "Since there is no one to speak, then I will continue." Let me tell you the story of the present. "
"Just said, fate always likes to joke, life is always full of accidents, after twenty-five years, Li Shilan and He Lihui, the former little couple, reunited in this way, although they did not recognize each other at that time, it does not mean that they have not been recognized. "
Soon, He Lihui confirmed that the male owner of the neighbor's house who had recently moved over was her husband twenty-five years ago, and he had deceived everyone by creating a fake fire house. Now a family with a lot of money, a hard work, what He Lihui thought at that time, whether he will lament the injustice of fate, I don't know. In short, she did not choose to make it all public, but chose it: blackmail. "
"When I first arrived, when Captain Hou introduced me to Li Shilan's neighbors, he also raised his own doubt, why the He family has suddenly become so rich in the past six months or so, and the He family mother and daughter do not seem to have found very high-paying jobs. Later, during the investigation of Li Shilan's case, we found that Li Shilan often withdrew large amounts of cash in the bank, and soon Ho Lihui would definitely have more or less cash deposits. Although it cannot be completely confirmed, it is basically inseparable. "
"But I didn't kill him!" He Lihui loudly denied it.
"Yes, from this point of view, I don't think you have a motive to kill Li Shilan. Only if he lives well can you keep blackmailing him and get greater benefits. Uncle Jiange agreed with He Lihui.
"But," Uncle Jiange continued, "you don't have a credible alibi, and you lied about the whereabouts of your daughter He Xiaoya on the day of the accident. This makes it completely impossible for me to rule out your suspicions. "
"More importantly," Uncle Jiange paused again, "what makes me even more suspicious of you is that when you clearly knew that your daughter He Xiaoya and Li Mingming were half-siblings, you not only did not stop it, but further encouraged her to approach Li Mingming. "
"Moreover, one night after the accident, by the courtyard wall of the Li family manor, I personally heard you and He Xiaoya talking about her and Li Mingming, although I didn't hear it completely and intermittently, but I could basically guess that you wanted your daughter to tie Li Mingming's heart tightly so that you could get the inheritance." Uncle Jiange said these words in a heartfelt way, "These were later confirmed during the interrogation of your daughter He Xiaoya. "
In this way, a question arises: "Could it be that He Lihui killed Li Shilan to ensure that Li Mingming got the inheritance, and let his daughter be with Li Mingming, so as to get this inheritance?" Or let her daughter approach Li Mingming, so as to find an opportunity to get rid of Li Mingming, and then disclose the fact that He Lihui is Li Shilan's biological daughter in order to obtain property? Even, just to vent his anger, punish Li Shilan for abandoning himself in a fake fire accident in 2 5 years? Motivation and logic make sense. It's just that I still need evidence to prove it. "
"Now let's talk about Zhang Mengling. Uncle Jiange said in a calm and serious tone to the little nanny of the Li family. He looked at her young and beautiful face and couldn't help but feel some sympathy in his heart. He knew that she was a poor child from the countryside who had to come out to work in order to survive. But she met a man - Li Shilan.
"Do you know why we mentioned you?" Uncle Jiange asked.
Zhang Mengling lowered her head and did not answer. She felt her heart beat faster and her palms began to sweat.
"We found a suspicious point when we investigated the Li Shilan fire case." Uncle Jiange continued, "He withdrew a large amount of cash from the bank, but not all of this money was given to He Lihui, and the cash he withdrew was not the same as the amount of cash He Lihui deposited, and the difference was very much. Later, when the police found out that the amount of money you sent back to your hometown was much greater than the amount of your salary, I think we found an explanation. "
"In further investigation, the police found that you had recently visited several gynecological examinations at the county No. 2 Hospital." Uncle Jiange asked Zhang Mengling, "Are you pregnant, and the child is Li Shilan's?" "
Zhang Mengling nodded silently.
"Not long after Zhang Mengling came to Li's house to be a nanny, perhaps because she coveted Zhang Mengling's beauty, Li Shilan raped Zhang Mengling. In order to seal Zhang Mengling's mouth and prevent her from reporting the case, he gave her a monthly sum of money. So under Li Shilan's money offensive, Zhang Mengling became Li Shilan's undisclosed lover. "
Because Zhang Mengling's family is very poor, for the sake of her poor parents and younger siblings, she can only swallow this humiliation. The money Li Shilan gave her, except for a small part for herself, she sent everything else back to her hometown to her family. "
"Zhang Mengling is pregnant with Li Shilan's child, but does Li Shilan know? I don't know, maybe I don't know, in short, in Li Shilan's suicide note and designated insurance beneficiary, there is no Zhang Mengling and her children. "
"After grasping the above information, I reasonably believe that Zhang Mengling also has a reasonable motive to kill Li Shilan, perhaps out of resentment, or despair after knowing that Li Shilan did not leave any inheritance for herself and the children in her belly. "
Hearing this, Zhang Mengling lowered her head, bit her lips, and began to sob, but she opened her mouth but did not say anything.
"In addition, there are two other people involved in this case, who were not at the scene today, but the police have been in contact with them. These two people are He Xiaoya's ex-boyfriend Meng Pengcheng and his father Meng Jinhong. "
In the past, He Xiaoya met Meng Pengcheng when she was working in Guangzhou, and the two became boyfriend and girlfriend. But later, after Li Shilan's family moved in, He Xiaoya and Li Mingming fell in love at first sight, so He Xiaoya wanted to break up with Meng Pengcheng, but Meng Pengcheng did not agree. "
At the beginning of the year, Meng Pengcheng found that He Xiaoya had not returned to work after the end of the year, and once came to Yongjia to find He Xiaoya, had a dispute with He Xiaoya, and once threatened that Li Mingming had snatched his beloved woman and that he was going to kill Li Mingming. "
"So is it possible that Meng Pengcheng killed Meng Jinhong? In terms of possibility alone, this is possible, Meng Pengcheng threatened to kill Li Mingming, he has such a motive, and at the same time Li Mingming and his father Li Shilan look very similar, very similar in height and body shape, it is easy to mistake Li Shilan for Li Mingming. "
"And what about Meng Pengcheng's father, Meng Jinhong? "
"As I said earlier, life is always full of coincidences. After Meng Jinhong found out that his son had run away from home and did not know where he went, he came to find He Xiaoya to learn about his son's situation, but unexpectedly found that his son's girlfriend's mother was the wife of the small couple who owed him money twenty-five years ago. Yes, he was the biggest creditor of the little couple that year, and he was detained by the police for several months because of the fire that year. "
And the coincidence is not only that, in the process of Meng Jinhong coming to Yongjia to find his son's whereabouts, he also accidentally discovered that the husband of the small couple was now Li Shilan, it turned out that he was tricked, and he was suspected by the police and detained for several months, and his business in Yiwu could not continue. "
This also explains why for a while he often wandered around in the hillside park opposite Li Shilan's house, because this discovery was so amazing that he couldn't believe it was true for a while, so he needed to confirm it repeatedly, so he repeatedly came to Yongjia many times, stayed for a long time, at first just to find his son, and then it became an inquiry Collect news from Li Shilan. I had speculated that it was Meng Jinhong's maneuver that alerted Li Shilan and became the possible physical threat that Li Shilan sent me in his e-mail. "
"The relationship here is so tortuous that the police did not notice Meng Jinhong at first, and in the process of investigation, we heard about the existence of such a person, but the direction of investigation never focused on him." Because Meng Jinhong's father and son also looked too similar, the police thought for a long time that the person who was wandering around the Li family manor was Meng Pengcheng. "
Just now, Meng Jinhong accidentally discovered that Li Shilan, the male owner of the Li family manor, may be the debtor who owed him money 2 5 years ago, so he began to consciously approach the people around Li Shilan, such as Liu Xiaojing, the mistress of the Li family, I hope to confirm Li Shilan's past identity and obtain more information. "
In this process, it is very interesting that Meng Jinhong not only successfully learned a lot of information about Li Shilan, but also made Liu Xiaojing fall in love with herself. "
"Nope! I didn't! Liu Xiaojing's face turned a little pale, and her voice trembled a little, but she still refuted loudly.
Uncle Jiange ignored it and continued to state his reasoning. Two policemen walked up behind Liu Xiaojing and told her to keep quiet.
"As for what means Meng Jinhong used to attract Liu Xiaojing, and why Liu Xiaojing fell in love with Meng Jinhong, I don't know these and I won't go into detail. In short, Liu Xiaojing fell in love with Meng Jinhong, and the police found that Meng Jinhong had the key to the Li family manor during the investigation, and found a large number of call records between Liu Xiaojing and Meng Jinhong. "
"Therefore, from the perspective of criminal motives, Meng Jinhong also has the motive of wanting to kill Li Shilan, so that he can avenge the revenge of the year, or be able to be with Liu Xiaojing and get Li Shilan's inheritance."
