[This article is a true story, and some plots are slightly processed]
A woman's intuition
In the early morning of March 12, 1985, Wuxi, the compound of the West Wind Research Institute.
6-year-old Lan Lan woke up from sleep, she heard the sound of selling sweet tofu brains outside, so she got up from bed and prepared to go to the bedroom to call her mother to buy it for her. When passing by her father's study, she saw that the door was hidden, so she crept to the door to surprise her father.
As soon as she pushed open the door, before she could shout "Daddy", she was frightened by the scene in front of her and couldn't help screaming: Daddy Wang Dong was wrapped in wires, one hand was tightly holding the screwdriver, the knife head was inserted into the wire board, the seven tricks were bleeding, and the whole person was curled up on the bed, twisted like a silkworm pupae.
"Mom! Come on! Here you go! Lan Lan almost cried out to her mother.
Mother Xia Yuanxin ran out of the bedroom, when she saw this scene in front of her, she immediately lost her voice and screamed out, and then her eyes went black and fainted and fell to the ground...
Institute dormitory
At about 8 o'clock, the police arrived at the scene of the crime.
The leading police officer, named Bai Lan, had just divorced the day before yesterday on the grounds that her husband felt that their married life was not passionate, and now she was in a state of paralyzing herself with work.
"Was it electrocution that killed you?" Bai Lan squatted down and inspected the body and asked.
"The person who reported the crime was a housewife, and she was found in the morning, and it looked like she had been electrocuted." The technician on the side answered in a low voice.
"What else was found?" Bai Lan did not look up and asked to himself.
"There are no traces of prying open doors and windows in the home, no property is lost, and there are no obvious signs of fighting at the scene, which can basically be judged as suicide." The technician replied while flipping through the record.
"Let's go, first find the reporter to understand the situation." Brandie stood up straight and went straight to the living room.
In the living room, Xia Yuanxin sat on the sofa and cried silently, and the chief of the security section next to her showed a rare gentlemanly demeanor, constantly handing her tissues.
Bai Lan sat on the sofa opposite, staring intently at Xia Yuanxin. This is a very well-dressed woman, her skin is very white, she also wears delicate makeup, and her hairstyle is the most popular forehead curls at the moment - in China in the 80s, there were not many people who could accept perms.
A strange look surged up in Bai Lan's heart: Where is the housewife who smears grease and powder in the morning? Does this make sense?
At this moment, Bai Lan seemed to remember something, and she asked coldly, "Why do you sleep in separate rooms?" Is it because of emotional discord? ”
Xia Yuanxin shook her head and explained, "My husband likes to stay up late to study, I have a nervous breakdown, and my life schedule is different, so he moved to the study to sleep." I've been married to him for over a decade, and I've always had a great relationship and never had a fight. ”
Hearing this sentence, Bai Lan's heart "clucked" a little, she herself had just divorced, and she did not believe that there were still couples in this world who had been married for more than ten years and never quarreled.
"Did you hear anything last night?"
"No, he had been doing research in the study since he left work yesterday, and at 11 o'clock in the evening, I was still talking to him at the door of the study, and I didn't expect to wake up in the morning... Whining... I don't know why he committed suicide! Xia Yuanxin said and cried again.
The chief of the security section next to her handed her a tissue and then asked Bai Lan if she could close the case. Bai Lan ignored him, but silently recorded in his notebook.
After a while, she looked up at Xia Yuanxin and asked, "Do you want to do an autopsy for your husband?" ”
Xia Yuanxin was a little dazed, and the other police officers accompanying her also felt a little confused, in their opinion, this case was obviously a suicide case, and there was no need for an autopsy.
Bai Lan continued to explain: "Doing an autopsy can tell the specific cause of your husband's death, whether it was electrocution or other causes. ”
Seeing that Xia Yuanxin was a little overwhelmed, the chief of the security section could not look at it anymore, and he said to Bai Lan in a stern tone: "People have just lost their husbands, such obvious signs of suicide, why do they have to hurt the victim for the second time?" ”
Hearing this, Bai Lan was also a little angry, she stood up and said to the chief of the security section: "Do an autopsy to know whether her husband died of his killing, if you don't investigate clearly, how can you arbitrarily conclude that it is suicide?" ”
The chief of the security section just wanted to refute it, but Xia Yuanxin suddenly showed a very cooperative: "Good, I agree." ”
After that, the crowd returned to the police station, and Bai Lan sat in a chair and frowned and thought. She felt that Wang Dong's death was definitely not as simple as suicide, but she couldn't produce any evidence now; moreover, she insisted on the other party's autopsy, in case the autopsy result was also suicide, then how should she treat herself?
After thinking about it for a long time, Bai Lan decided to trust his intuition.
In the 1980s, only high-end people and their families were assigned to dormitories
The chief forensic doctor turned the tide
Three days later, the autopsy results were officially released - Wang Dongshi died by suicide.
The police immediately notified Xia Yuanxin to claim the body, and Bai Lan was busy going through the previous files. On the night of the autopsy results, Bai Lan finally found an important clue: three years ago, a female researcher at the West Wind Research Institute was electrocuted, and the way of death was very similar to Wang Dong. In addition, Bai Lan also inadvertently saw the signature of the deceased's husband, Zhou Daqiang.
However, Bai Lan did not take this detail to heart, at the moment, Bai Lan needed evidence most. Coincidentally, China's chief forensic doctor, Chen Shixian, is giving a speech in Changzhou, and with his experience and skills, he will certainly be able to find out the real cause of Wang Dong's death.
Bai Lan didn't say a word and drove directly to Changzhou to consult Chen Shixian.
Chief Forensic Physician of China: Chen Shixian
Seeing Chen Shixian's first glance, Bai Lan suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of solidity.
Chen Shixian, who was nearly half a hundred years old, carefully looked through Bai Lan's notes and asked, "Except for the case three years ago, what was the basis for your initial suspicion that it was a murder?" ”
Bai Lan was stunned, she did not know how to answer, had to harden her scalp and said: "There is no basis, it is my intuition." ”
Chen Shixian smiled, bai lan thought that Chen Shixian did not believe, and continued to add: "Xia Yuanxin and Wang Dong have not quarreled for more than ten years after marriage, and normal couples cannot be like this, so I think Xia Yuanxin must have a problem." ”
Chen Shixian nodded, turned around and entered the hotel, and before leaving, he said to Bai Lan: "I need to go back and study the information, if you are not in a hurry, you can stay in Changzhou for one night, tomorrow we will go to Wuxi together." ”
Bai Lan was overjoyed and quickly agreed to come down.
In the evening, Bai Lan received a call from the bureau, saying that Xia Yuanxin had claimed the body and was ready to be pulled to the crematorium for cremation. Bai Lan was so anxious that she asked her colleagues in the bureau to find a way to stop Xia Yuanxin and informed Chen Shixian of this matter overnight.
Early the next morning, Chen Shixian and Bai Lan went to the crematorium for an autopsy.
The situation was urgent, and Chen Shixian decided to conduct an autopsy directly at the crematorium
At the same time, Xia Yuanxin had already brought Wang Dong's body to the crematorium.
Looking at the towering chimney, Xia Yuanxin's spirit gradually relaxed, she calmly took the cremation notice, and then looked at her husband in the body bag with a complicated look, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, as if she was murmuring something.
Seeing that Wang Dong's body was put on the cart, the gate suddenly opened, and the two leaders of the crematorium demanded that the body be taken back to the morgue for a new autopsy.
Xia Yuanxin's mind went blank, and she looked at Bai Lan standing behind the leader with some confusion. Bai Lan did not speak to her, and walked into the morgue with self-care.
Wang Dong's body had long been cut open, and Chen Shixian carefully observed almost inch by inch on the body's face, and finally fixed his gaze on the location of Wang Dong's temple, where there was a pale red film-like spot.
"This is a current spot, a special damage caused by the current touching the skin, but strangely, this spot seems to have been scraped by someone, as if it is covering something," Chen Shixian said as he reached out and touched it.
Immediately after, he moved his gaze to Wang Dong's lips. Suddenly, a very inconspicuous lilac wound caught his attention, and he couldn't help but look closer and carefully openEd Wang Dong's lips.
"This is indeed a murder!" For a long time, Chen Shixian stood up straight and said firmly to Bai Lan.
"You see here, there is an ulcer, only the deceased was covered by someone to cover the mouth of this wound, it is reasonable to say, if it is covered to death, there will be petechiae on the neck, but I suddenly thought of a murder case that was broken before, the murderer used a towel to pad the neck of the deceased, so there was no bleeding point, I think this time, the murderer also used a similar method, but he never expected that Wang Dong just had a mouth ulcer before he died, and he was born on the inconspicuous upper lip, so when he was covered to death, The wound is magnified", Chen Shixian's tone was very confident.
In order to prove this, Chen Shixian used a scalpel to lightly cut Wang Dong's neck, and dark red bruises flowed out.
"You see, only the neck is oppressed by great pressure, which will lead to the accumulation of bruised blood, this is the most direct evidence, Wang Dong must have been covered alive by someone, and then he was electrified", Chen Shixian slowly put away the scalpel, showing a relaxed smile.
Chen Shixian recorded a similar technique in his biography
The truth is out: the most poisonous woman's heart
Bai Lan looked at Chen Shixian with some admiration, and she suddenly remembered that when she was looking through the murder case three years ago, she had also seen similar identification records.
"That being the case, the murder case three years ago is most likely a wrong case!" Bai Lan said his guess.
Chen Shixian nodded. Bai Lan immediately applied to his superiors to try the two murder cases together, with Chen Shixian's theoretical support, and the superiors quickly passed this approval.
In the afternoon, Bai Lan came to Xia Yuanxin's house again with a search warrant. Although most of Wang Dong's relics were disposed of by Xia Yuanxin, she still found a key piece of evidence- the decision of the West Wind Research Institute to punish Zhou Daqiang.
Seeing the three words "Zhou Daqiang", Xia Yuanxin could no longer hold back, because this person was Xia Yuanxin's cheating object, and he was still Wang Dong's good brother. Xia Yuanxin wanted to rush over to destroy the evidence, but her backhand was subdued by Bai Lan.
Soon, Xia Yuanxin and Zhou Daqiang were summoned to the police station, and the two were held in their respective interrogation rooms to prevent them from colluding.
Creating a "prisoner's dilemma" is conducive to the confession of criminals
During the interrogation, Zhou Daqiang did not say a word, but only sighed; xia Yuanxin next door was quickly broken through the psychological defense line and confessed his and Zhou Daqiang's criminal history:
Xia Yuanxin and Wang Dong were married in the early 70s, at first the two were very sweet, but with the arrival of children and careers, the life between husband and wife was flat, which is not the result that Xia Yuanxin wanted, in order to find the feeling of love with her husband again, she began to catch up with the fashion, makeup, perm, dress, the same did not fall.
But her husband Wang Dong is a nerd, he is busy with research all day, especially after taking over the task of national defense science and technology, he has put all his energy into work, apologizing to his wife, he will only use the economy to compensate, every month's salary he all handed in.
Once, Wang Dong was on a business trip, and before leaving, he entrusted his wife and daughter to his good brother Zhou Daqiang. Unexpectedly, Zhou Daqiang had already been fascinated by Xia Yuanxin, and he took this opportunity to boldly express his love to Xia Yuanxin, and Xia Yuanxin, who had not been nourished by love for a long time, also quickly sank.
In order to stay together for a long time, the two decided to kill their spouses one after another, and in order to test the feasibility of the modus operandi, Zhou Daqiang decided to start with his wife first. On November 4, 1982, Xia Yuanxin went to Zhou Daqiang's home as a guest, she used the excuse of "wanting to see the new washing machine" as an excuse to deceive Zhou Daqiang's wife's trust, just when she turned on the washing machine, Zhou Daqiang strangled her with a wire behind her back, and then cruelly electrified.
Afterwards, Zhou Daqiang's wife was judged to have committed suicide, because Zhou Daqiang's care was not effective, and the treatment given to Zhou Daqiang by the unit was only a punishment, that is, the notice of handling decision found by Bai Lan.
Then it was Xia Yuanxin's turn.
In fact, Wang Dong had already detected the delicate relationship between his wife and Zhou Daqiang, and was in guilt, he did not expose his wife, but took the initiative to move to the study to sleep, hoping that his wife could change her mind and honestly live with herself. But Xia Yuanxin has lost patience with Mu Ne's husband, and she has put the killing of her husband on the agenda.
That night, after her husband and daughter were asleep, Xia Yuanxin quietly opened the door and let Zhou Daqiang, who was already waiting outside, in. Zhou Daqiang wrapped wires around Wang Dong's body, and Xia Yuanxin was responsible for powering up - unexpectedly, Wang Dong specially installed a fuse for the safety of his wife and daughter's electricity!
Seeing that Wang Dong was not dead, both of them panicked, and Zhou Daqiang grabbed the quilt and pounced on it fiercely, suppressing Wang Dong to death. Wang Dong resisted vigorously at first, but when he saw that his wife had also come to help, he was completely desperate.
Wang Dong's resistance gradually weakened until it disappeared completely.
After confirming Wang Dong's death, the two re-electrified the body, and according to Zhou Daqiang's instructions, Xia Yuanxin also carefully scraped off the current spot on Wang Dong's temple, disguised as a scene of electrocution and suicide.
After that, Zhou Daqiang said a few words and left, and Xia Yuanxin opened the door of the study slightly, so that her daughter could find the body at the first time. After doing all this, she calmly returned to the bedroom and slept until dawn.
This kind of plot seems to be very common in Japanese dramas
On September 16, 1985, Xia Yuanxin and Zhou Daqiang were sentenced to death for "intentional homicide" and immediately executed.
In the final interrogation of Xia Yuanxin, she said this sentence: "I have never lived for myself, I have paid so much for his honor and for his career, but in exchange for ignoring it." So, from the moment I look for passion, I do not do anything for anyone, only for myself. ”
