Chapter 990 Shun

Jiang Yuan gathered his men and took Cui Qishan and others with him to Jianmen Courtyard for a secret investigation.

The Zhengguang Bureau has no shortage of criminal police talent. Strictly speaking, people like Cui Qishan cannot be considered talents. His shortcomings are too small.

Jiang Yuan was mainly familiar with Cui Qishan. Moreover, Cui Qishan had the special skill of digging up corpses. In such a headless case, any abnormality would be a good thing.

Cui Qishan attached great importance to it. Just kidding, Jiang Yuan took down a listed company to save his people - of course, in fact, in the matter of "helping", there is no need for this - but Cui Qishan had to accept this kindness.

Everyone was prepared, and when it was time to start, there were more than 20 cars in the convoy.

Cui Qishan looked like he wanted to call all the technical detectives over.

With so many vehicles driving there at the same time, it couldn't be a secret investigation, so we specially assigned some people to arrange for most of the vehicles to park in the public parking lot in front.

There were two cars and eight people with Jiang Yuan, and they parked outside Jianmen Courtyard.

Jiang Yuan brought Mu Zhiyang and Gao Yuyan, Cui Qishan brought his subordinate Li Jiang, a total of five people, and they entered Jianmenyuan community without any hindrance.

Jianmenyuan is a residential area that was built fifty years ago. It used to be a unit compound, but due to organizational changes and the closure of enterprises and institutions, the community has been completely handed over to the society. Now, it is just a small building complex with lax access control, a superior geographical location, but old architecture.

"The crime occurred in Building 2, the building on the right hand side after entering the door." Cui Qishan had also reviewed the files in advance.

Jiang Yuan nodded, confirmed the address, and looked around.

The difficulty of building a courtyard lies in its simplicity.

There are a total of 4 buildings in Jianmen Courtyard, all of which are five-story tube buildings, forming a Z shape so that they do not block each other. Building 2 is at the lower right corner of the Z shape, about 10 meters away from the courtyard wall.

The victim Zhang Xiaoming lived on the 2th floor of Building 4.

The structure and personnel of the tube building itself are also very simple.

The tube-shaped buildings are like a row of dormitory buildings. Each house is a rectangular room with a straight entrance and one or two small compartments inside. There are no separate bathrooms and kitchens.

The tube-shaped building with a gatehouse is a second-generation tube-shaped building. There are two large bathrooms on each floor, and two kitchens, which makes it relatively more spacious.

The stairs and corridors seem to be hung outside the building. It is a long corridor with stairs in the middle.

It can be said that the structure of Jianmenyuan is clearly visible from the inside to the outside.

From downstairs you can see the corridors and people upstairs. If you stand in a good position, you can even see people in the kitchen.

The corridor is also straight. No matter whether you look from the stairs or one end of the corridor, you can see clearly who is in the corridor.

Furthermore, the Jianmenyuan buildings built in the 90s were self-built by work units. Although there were some cases of house exchanges, inheritances, and sales, in general, the residents in the entire courtyard were acquaintances. People living in the same building were at least % familiar with each other, and those on the same floor were more than % familiar with each other.

According to the judgment of the forensic doctor at the time, the victim Zhang Xiaoming was killed at around 10 o'clock in the morning. Although this time was a relatively quiet time in the hospital - most people had gone to work, there were still family members there.

However, the police interviewed everyone in the yard and did not find a single witness.

This inevitably led the investigation to the possibility that the crime was committed by an acquaintance, especially the residents on the fourth floor, because only these residents appeared in the corridor on the fourth floor, which was the least noticeable.

If there was an unfamiliar outsider, it would be impossible not to notice it.

But the results clearly did not support the task force's judgment at the time.

Jiang Yuan and Cui Qishan walked back and forth on the 2th floor of Building 4 several times, and finally attracted the concern of an old lady.

"Which unit are you from?" The old lady looked to be in her 60s, considered young in the building.

The current personnel structure is different from that of more than 20 years ago. In the same tube-shaped building, there are fewer people living and more strangers coming and going. Because there is no independent kitchen and bathroom, almost all the original residents have moved out, and new tenants change frequently. The grand occasion of seven-tenant accommodation on the same floor is no longer there.

Cui Qishan noticed the old lady's age and asked instead of answering: "Are you the owner of this building? Did you live here before? Or did you buy the house later?"

"Who would buy a house here? They're all waiting for renovation. They said they would renovate it, but it didn't. Now they're waiting for demolition." The old lady from Beijing was still willing to explain her identity as an old BJ. She then said, "This house was divided by my father at that time. Later, when my father passed away, my brothers were well-off, so they gave it to me. Now it's a school district house for my granddaughter. I can eat there at noon, take a nap, and then take her home in the evening."

"The houses here are not being renovated or demolished because of that case," Cui Qishan pointed out a rumor.

The old lady's face changed. "I didn't think it was possible before, but now I think it's possible. Hey, what does it have to do with us? The neighborhood next door has installed elevators, but because there was a murder in our building, they decided not to install them. Let alone demolition. We have such a good location, why shouldn't we demolish it..."

"So, the case has not been solved yet?"

"Who knows? It probably won't break."

"Were you living here when the crime happened?"

"Yes. I live with my parents and brothers. It was only after that incident that my family decided to buy me a house."

"So what kind of person do you think the murderer is?"

The old lady didn't even think about it and said, "It's possible that he is a worker in the factory."

"Huh? Why?"

"Because Zhang Xiaoming called for 'layoffs and reemployment', think about it, if you were a worker in the factory, would you be willing to be laid off and reemployed? How many people wanted to stab him. In the end, didn't they get stabbed?"

"I remember arresting several people who were said to be the ones who shouted this." Cui Qishan was recalling the files.

The old lady said, "Zhang Xiaoming was stabbed to death during work hours. The workers were all at work, so they didn't have time to stab him." The old lady raised her head and asked again, "Which unit are you from?"

"We are the police!" Cui Qishan said this with a smile on his face, waiting to see the old lady's reaction.

"Are you going to investigate this case again?" The old lady frowned and was not as welcoming as she had expected.

Cui Qishan was stunned: "Has anyone been involved in this case before?"

"You guys do it every few years, I've added several of you to my group." The old lady looked at Cui Qishan suspiciously, "Where's your ID?"

When an old lady in Beijing looks at you with scrutiny, you will feel some pressure.

Cui Qishan couldn't help but smile bitterly, took out his ID to show the old lady, and continued to ask questions.

Finally, I got tired of asking people, so I asked a few passers-by, and finally checked the group that the old lady mentioned.

They were all built by members of the previous task force.

Cui Qishan smiled bitterly and said, "It is probably the same as us. He conducts a secret investigation every few years and dares not launch a large-scale investigation. He investigates privately first. Maybe he wants to collect evidence before reporting it to the higher-ups. Unfortunately, he has not collected any evidence."

Cui Qishan spoke in a serious tone, but his words were unpleasant to the ear.

Jiang Yuan nodded.

Cui Qishan then sighed and said, "Most of the members of the special investigation team who were involved in this case have retired. If we investigate this case again now, it mainly depends on the results of the interrogation. It also depends on the performance of the suspect."

What Cui Qishan was talking about was the normal process of solving unsolved homicide cases.

For a case that happened more than 20 years ago, most of the evidence has been destroyed. Therefore, a case like this requires the suspect to have a change of heart or for someone around him to successfully report the crime.

If the interrogating police can get the suspect to confess directly, that would be perfect. If that is not possible, the suspect must cooperate and give some information. If that is not possible, it will be very difficult to solve such a backlog case.

Therefore, Cui Qishan placed more hope on the owner of the fingerprint discovered by Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan shook his head slightly and said, "He may not confess. If he confesses, he will be a suspect in the murder. He probably didn't kill the person."

Cui Qishan reserved his opinion on the former and only asked the latter, "How do you know he didn't kill the person?"

"Wang Futing, the suspect I identified, left his fingerprints on the courtyard wall, but there was no blood on the wall. Judging from the victim's wounds and the position where he fell, the victim put up a certain degree of resistance. If Wang Futing participated in the murder, his clothes and hands would easily be stained with blood, and the courtyard wall could not be so clean."

"So, this Wang Futing might be a complete stranger to the case?" Cui Qishan said anxiously: "I said, things can't go so smoothly!"
