1. The heavy snow started on the evening of Chinese New Year's Eve and continued all night. Early on the morning of the first day of the lunar new year, the Jinhe District Police Station in Jiangcheng received a report: the Jiangzhai Village on the east street of Jinhe Street, Jiang Haidong's family, was exterminated!
The serious crime team arrived at the scene for the first time, and Zhou Chengcai, the team leader with more than 20 years of police experience, took a deep breath.
The master Jiang Haidong has a 20-centimeter deep wound in his lower back, and his wife Hu Qingju has been stabbed in the chest and abdomen. One is lying on the tea machine, and the other is lying on the sofa. On the second floor, their 35-year-old daughter Jiang Xiaoli has a fractured skull. On the third floor, their daughter Jiang Zhongli is lying askew in the living room with a shocking wound on her neck. The most pitiful is the three-year-old boy in bed, his face turning a frightening shade of purple.
"This is absolutely insane!" Team member Geng Jie couldn't help but curse.
In the Jiangbei Daily duty room, a handsome man with highly myopic glasses faced the investigator with a somewhat pale and bewildered expression: "What are you saying! They are all dead!"
The duty leader and surveillance at the newspaper have confirmed that Hu Ruoyun was busy writing articles in the first half of the night and resting in the duty room in the second half of the night. the Jiang family's son-in-law Xiong Baoshan has become the prime suspect. Xiong Baoshan, male, 35 years old, 1.85 meters tall, weighing 75 kilograms, runs a business in slaughtering and selling fresh lamb and meat on Second Street.
Missing and lost until now!
2.
A comprehensive search for Xiong Baoshan has been launched.
Jiangzhai Village is located in the Northeast suburb, a combination of urban and rural areas. The murderer, having committed the crime, has already exhausted their courage and is unlikely to flee to the western urban area. Due to heavy snow at night and it being Chinese New Year's Eve, the investigation focused on the few vehicles traveling on East State Road that night, confirming that the murderer did not board a vehicle in the Jiangcheng section. The only remaining possibility is that they headed east into the rural outskirts. The incident, occurring on Chinese New Year's Eve, is truly horrifying, especially considering that a child under three years old also perished.
The temperature is nine degrees below zero, with a visibility of twenty meters. The main passages within a radius of two hundred kilometers have been guarded and inspected by police forces. Hundreds of armed police have formed a network, searching through the vast wilderness of the East Suburb, combing through haystacks, abandoned kilns, and underground tunnels one by one.
"There's a suspicious discovery in the well house at South of Hujiaqiao! Nine teams and ten teams quickly advance!" commanded the central control through the intercom.
The drone transmitted back an image: a figure rushed out of the small house, and various types of police quickly surrounded the area.
In the video, a man suddenly gets attacked, then someone on the intercom reports: "Not the target, it's the Hujiaqiao village chief and women's director having an affair in the well room..."
It's clearly a funny joke, but no one is laughing.
Soon, the command center issues another order: "Strong heat signal in the board room of the northern orchard in Zhandian Village."
Knocking on the door with no response, the door was forcefully broken down: a space of about 20 square meters revealed three gambling tables.
At noon, the command center once again instructed: "A suspicious heat source was detected under a wind turbine tower one kilometer east of Yao Family Well village!"
It turned out to be three addicts gathering inside to indulge in their addiction.
It's getting dark, and I couldn't find the shadow of the suspect Xiong Baoshan.
On the second day of the lunar new year, Wu Qingyun and Geng Jie visited Jiangzhai Village again.
"You don't know how bad the old the Jiang family is. They rely on being village cadres, usually taking advantage and being greedy..." "Their eldest son-in-law is a honest child. His father died when he was young, and his mother remarried. He came to work at the Jiangcheng Meat Factory when he was sixteen or seventeen. Apart from being a bit dark-skinned and not having an education, there's nothing else to say about him!" "Both sons-in-law are married into the family, and they have suffered a lot in the the Jiang family..."
The amount of information is unusually large, but it seems that it doesn't match the motive of massacre.
On the third day, the suspect seemed to have disappeared without a trace, like vanishing into thin air.
On the fourth day, the heavy snow finally stopped. Over three thousand people of various police type were involved in the investigation.
3.
Ten kilometers north of Jiangcheng, the surging Yellow River meanders through. On the south bank of the Yellow River is Jiangcheng, and on the north side is the former Beishi City. A couple from Ji'nan who leased land for vegetable farming in the Huanghe bank area found that the radishes and cabbages they had buried and stored had been dug up. Not much was missing, but the ice and snow that had been dug open had invaded, and the damaged vegetables were countless!
They reported the incident to the nearest Qiaobei Police Station, where the responding officers simply took a statement and sent them on their way, saying, "It's the New Year, is it really worth it for a few carrots and cabbages?"
However, shortly after, another incident occurred in the vast marshland: a pair of brothers who raised sheep reported that one of their adult goats had gone missing! The two swore, "We will find the goat alive or at least its bones!" After searching everywhere without success, they decided to report the case to the Huanghe Police Station, which is under Jiangcheng jurisdiction.
This seemingly insignificant police report caught the attention of Captain Zhou Chengcai from the major crimes unit: there were no other signs of life for miles around in the marshland, making this disappearance all the more mysterious!
Zhou Chengcai reported to the special task force and requested to deploy police forces to the Huanghe bank area. When the thermal imaging drone took off, the police dog cooperated with various types of police to conduct a foot patrol. The two brothers who reported the incident were almost in tears: "Is it worth it for just a sheep?" The beach area is not like the East Suburb, where there are few places for people to hide. A couple who grows vegetables took the opportunity to tell the police about their missing radishes and cabbages. Seemingly insignificant information caused the dog to fiercely bark at a raised mound of soil.
Everyone gathered around and started digging, and a underground chamber was uncovered. In the five or six square meter underground space, there were dozens of buckets of instant noodles, a coal stove with a black pot stewing lamb and cabbage and radish on top. On the floor, there was a moisture-proof mat, with a mattress and quilt on top, and next to the pillow was a stack of insurance company contracts. The insured were the deceased five members of the the Jiang family, and the beneficiary for all of them was a person named "Xiong Xinling."
The suspect Xiong Baoshan didn't resist at all.
In the interrogation room, the dark and fierce Xiong Baoshan confessed to the murder without hesitation, and said Xiong Xinling was his sister whom he had depended on since childhood.
Interrogator: "Why did you kill your wife's family?"
Xiong Baoshan: "To earn their high insurance premiums."
Reviewer: "Those people are your father-in-law and mother-in-law, sister-in-law, nephew, and daughter-in-law. How can you do this to them?"
Xiong Baoshan rolls his eyes: "They all deserve to die. They haven't let me live a peaceful day in all these years. Damn it, anyone with the surname Jiang can just sit on my head and take a dump..."
Pre-trial officer: "Do you know how serious your crimes are?"
Xiong Baoshan: "It's no big deal, it's just death!"
