On December 30, 2016, on this festive day approaching New Year's Day, the police in Delingha City, Haixi Prefecture, Qinghai Province, were anxious.
Because, on the night of the 30th, a female taxi driver disappeared, and the police organized a special person to investigate, watched a lot of surveillance, and saw that they were getting closer and closer to the truth, but the heart of the case team was more anxious.
Late at night、Female driver、Missing! All of these signs suggest that the results may not be good.
Disappearing female driver
It is understood that the disappeared female driver is called Wang, she and her husband Tao together, to drive a taxi for a living, out of the protection of his wife, Wang has always been open during the day, and her husband Tao is open at night.
But on the evening of December 30, a special situation occurred, Wang called her husband to inform her that she was going to pick up a friend, so she would hand over the shift later.
Therefore, although Wang did not arrive home very late that night, her husband did not suspect that there was a problem.
It wasn't until late at night that Tao vaguely felt that something was wrong, because Delingha City was not big, even if Wang wanted to pick up and drop off friends, it wouldn't take so long, he called his wife, but the other party turned off the phone.
After waiting anxiously all night, his wife still didn't come home, so Tao called the police.
After the police understood the ins and outs of the matter, they immediately began to investigate the city's surveillance, and to find Wang, they must first find the taxi.
After repeated watching, the police found that at about 9 o'clock in the evening of the 30th, Wang's car appeared in the downtown surveillance screen, when a man in black beckoned her to stop, bent down and said a few words to her, and then got into Wang's car.
Wang's car has disappeared in the surveillance screen since then, and the police have mobilized a large number of surveillance, but no trace of the car has been found, according to the police's speculation, this situation is most likely because the car is driving on a remote laneway, so the police focused on checking the surveillance of the hidden lane, and finally saw Wang's car again at 22:45 on the surveillance display.
It was an extremely hidden roadway, because it was night, the situation inside the car was not clear, and the police could only see the car driving here, and the car was parked on the side.
A minute later, a figure of a man in black appeared on the surveillance screen, looking at the direction he was walking, he should have gotten off the car, but Wang did not get out of the car, and the car did not start again.
In order to find out what happened, the police quickly dispatched and found a place to park, but the police, who have many years of experience in handling cases, had a premonition that something was wrong the first time they saw the car.
The car was parked at random in the direction of the wall, the car was empty, the door was unlocked, and the keys on the car were still there.
An ominous premonition loomed over the police, and when they surveyed the car, they found scattered blood stains in the back right seat of the car.
Later, after extracting and testing the blood stains, it was confirmed that this was indeed Wang's blood.
Wang's murder has become a fact, but I don't know whether she was injured or dead, and the news of the "female driver's disappearance" quickly spread in this small city.
The road to crime
Just when the police were at a loss, a bad news directly caused this small city to explode.
A female corpse appeared in the river 200 meters south of the railway bridge in Pingyuan Village, Delingha City, and after identification, there is no doubt that this is the disappeared female driver Wang.
Wang's body was intact and neatly dressed, except for a strangulation mark on her neck, and a forensic autopsy confirmed that she was strangled to death.
At the same time, the team on the other side of the surveillance also brought important information, after a large number of surveillance investigations, they found that the suspect is a left-hander, he smokes with his left hand, the height is about 170-175, before the crime, he had wandered the streets, it seems that he is not very familiar with the streets of the city, should be an outsider.
After committing the crime, the person left the scene in another taxi, and the police quickly found the driver of the taxi, confirmed the suspect's drop-off location that night, and centered on the drop-off location, and conducted a carpet check around the perimeter.
I don't know if it's providence, when the police visited a nearby village, the first door they knocked on was a man's residence, and the man's figure was also highly similar to the suspect in the surveillance, is it so coincidental?
The policeman whose name is Zhang Xuecai (pseudonym) has a lot of heart, and he scattered a cigarette for him on the spot, and he habitually stretched out his left hand to take the cigarette, which made the policeman's heart "chuckle".
But at that time, there was no direct evidence to prove that he was the murderer, and they didn't want to startle him, so the police did not directly debunk him, but let him go back to the police station to do an auxiliary investigation, take a little blood sample, and let him go home.
Soon news came from the laboratory center, confirming that Zhang Xuecai's DNA was highly similar to the murderer.
Upon learning of this news, the police immediately dispatched to prepare to arrest him, but the murderer had already left, according to the landlord, Zhang Xuecai's family lived in Ledu District, Haidong City, and should have gone home, so the police rushed to Haidong City non-stop.
Because it was not clear whether Zhang Xuecai had returned home or fled to other places, in order not to arouse the alarm of the murderer, the police decided to go into the village in civilian clothes to investigate.
At the door of Zhang Xuecai's house, the police knocked on the door of Zhang's house in the name of community inspection, and the door was opened by a woman in her 40s.
The two criminal policemen didn't say a word, and rushed directly into the side room to control Zhang Xuecai, but the process of arresting Zhang Xuecai was not smooth.
Seeing that Zhang Xuecai was controlled, Zhang Xuecai's mother, wife and son all surrounded him, and there was a great posture to fight, even if the police directly showed their police ID cards, but they still didn't give face if they didn't have knowledge, and even directly knocked out the police ID cards in the hands of the police.
Zhang Xuecai's wife closed the door in a hurry, released the vicious dog at home, and the yard was a mess.
When the police assistance arrived, a policeman had been bitten by a vicious dog, and the police controlled Zhang Xuecai in the pull, and forcibly twisted him to the police car.
During the interrogation, Zhang Xuecai confessed to his actions, but in the end he lied that he was mentally ill and tried to escape punishment in this way.
The police conducted a psychiatric evaluation of him in accordance with the law, and found that he was lying at all, and coupled with his cautious behavior in the process of committing the crime, it can basically be determined that this is a premeditated murder case for money.
In the end, Zhang Xuecai paid with his life for his actions, and his family was sentenced to one year in prison on suspicion of obstructing official business.
It's a pity that the deceased Wang is so innocent, and this will also become an eternal pain for her family.
