Early in the morning of November 25, 2010, Liu Heizhu, who lived dozens of kilometers away, rushed to the Yangcheng County Public Security Bureau in Shanxi. He reported that after his wife left on the night of the 14th, she could not be contacted and her mobile phone was turned off.
Liu Heizhu's home is in Diaoyutai Village, Manghe Town, more than 30 kilometers away from the county seat, but his wife, Cui Mei'e, does not live with him. His wife works in the county seat, so she lives in the county town and usually does not go home. Cui Mei'e was introduced by her brother to work in a snack shop surnamed Qiao, and after leaving work on the night of November 14, Qiao's boss never saw her again.
Liu Heizhu
After several twists and turns, Boss Qiao contacted Cui Mei'e's brother and asked him to contact Cui Mei'e's husband and ask Cui Mei'e if she had not gone to work for several days and whether she was home.
What puzzled the police was why Liu Heizhu only came to report his wife 9 days after she disappeared. The police believe that the couple must have caused a conflict because of the quarrel, because Cui Mei'e ran away from home once before because of the quarrel, so this time Cui Mei'e will not avoid seeing because of the conflict with her husband? The police learned in the village that the relationship between the two was ok, and the family was quite harmonious, and found nothing unusual.
Cui Mei'e has not returned home since she went to the county town to work a month ago, and the one who gets along with her the most is the owner of the snack shop, but The qiao boss and his wife are honest, and they get along well with Cui Mei'e. According to them, in the period before the disappearance, Cui Mei'e was also in a good mood, but during the investigation, the police still found a strange situation.
What Cui Mei'e told her husband was that the snack shop was in charge of eating and living, but when the police investigated, they found that the snack shop owner only paid a salary and did not live. Why did Cui Mei'e hide from her husband that the boss was in charge, and she had no relatives in the county town, where would she live on the day of part-time work? The police investigated and visited dozens of hotels and all rental houses in the county, but they never found any trace of Cui Mei'e.
Will Cui Mei'e have a lover? All these days of part-time work are living with this mysterious man? If so, could it be that she did not disappear at all, but left the county with this person?
But the police thought it was unlikely because she had no signs of elopement. Boss Qiao said that After Cui Mei'e left work, she did not take anything with her except a dress and a red scarf.
At the same time, the police also found a phenomenon in the investigation, in the home Cui Mei'e said one thing is not two, big things and small things she made up alone, the husband almost has no right to speak.
A month ago, Cui Mei'e said that she had found a job in the county town to manage food and housing, and her husband Liu Heizhu did not dare to ask more, he did not even know where his wife lived. So where will Cui Mei'e live in these days in the county? Could someone offer her a free place to live? Just when the police felt clueless, the villagers provided a clue: Cui Mei'e was carrying out pyramid schemes outside behind her family's back.
Cui Mei'e's family's Diaoyutai Village is only a mountain away from Jiyuan City in Henan Province, where she used to participate in pyramid schemes, but that was a few years ago, even if Cui Mei'e went to engage in pyramid schemes again, she would not leave without a sound, and there was no reason not to contact anyone.
By the time the police received the report, Ms. Cui had been missing for a full 11 days, and the police felt that the disappearance was too long, and the longer a woman in her 40s was outside, the less likely she was to find her.
Yangcheng County said that it is not big, there are 8 towns and 17 townships in the jurisdiction, and it is not an easy task to find. The county town is built on the mountain, coupled with a large number of local coal resources mining, there are many abandoned caves around, in order to avoid accidents, the criminal investigation brigade sent 7 groups of police to start the mountain search operation overnight.
After a careful search, there is still no result, where will Cui Mei'e go? But no matter where she was, she should find a way to report peace to her family, and she would not be heard from for 11 days, so an ominous premonition was hidden in the investigator's mind.
Investigators asked Cui Mei'e's husband, Liu Heizhu, to print a list of his wife's recent phone calls, and would the dense list of communication records and lin lin's various figures point the police in a direction?
After the police retrieved the call list, they found that after the last 138 phone number called Cui Mei'e, Cui Mei'e's mobile phone was never opened again, and it was always closed, and the police had doubts about the 138 number.
This number has not appeared before, only dialed twice on November 14, and then Cui Mei'e turned off the phone and disappeared that night, could this person be related to Cui Mei'e's disappearance?
After the police investigation, it was found that the phone belonged to a man, also from Boahe, who, like Cui Mei'e, worked in the county town, and he had looked for Cui Mei'e that night. The man's name was Zhang Xiaojun, and he explained that the first call he made was to ask Cui Mei'e to play mahjong, but he waited for a long time and did not wait for Cui Mei'e to come over, so he walked to Cui Mei'e's food stall and played again. Cui Mei'e said that she was out of the stall, working for others, and could not play mahjong.
Zhang Xiaojun saw that people were not together, so he did not play mahjong, but went for a walk. The investigation shows that he and Cui Mei'e are only friends, and Zhang Xiaojun does not have the motivation and time to commit the crime. But Mr. Zhang provided a suspicious clue, and while walking that night, he discovered something strange.
He saw that Cui Mei'e seemed to be talking to a motorcycle driver. Zhang Xiaojun said that due to the severity of the darkness, Cui Mei'e did not seem to see him, he only saw Cui Mei'e on the motorcycle, the red scarf was very conspicuous, at that time they did not speak across the road. This shows that the person who finally saw Cui Mei'e, and there is a driver of the motorcycle, and finding this person should know the final whereabouts of Cui Mei'e.
The police took a picture of Cui Mei'e and visited five or six hundred motorcycles throughout the county.
Meanwhile, investigators also found a suspicious cell phone number on Ms. Cui's call list, which was in frequent contact with the victim's cell phone number, calling an average of four or five times a day. The owner of the mobile phone number was a man named Song Anhui, but when the investigators contacted him, his answer was somewhat bizarre.
He said he had no contact or contact with Ms. Cui, and his answer made the police feel very suspicious.
However, as soon as this statement was proposed, it was immediately refuted by the husband of the missing person, who said that he did not think Lao Song would. He thought it should be the motorcycle driver who took his wife halfway through what had happened.
Mr. Liu said Mr. Song would be a friend of their former work in the coal mine and a person in charge of the mine. At that time, the mining area of the Song Anhui needed to be built, so the contractor team was invited, and Liu Heizhu's wife Cui Mei'e was responsible for cooking for the contractor team.
Speaking of the old Song Liu Heizhu full of gratitude, through the introduction of the Song Anhui, Liu Heizhu also worked there and showed the contractor team the door for 4 months. However, due to the consolidation of coal resources in Shanxi Province, the coal mine where Lao Song was located temporarily stopped production, and the company left Lao Song to see the site, and Cui Mei'e and his wife left the coal mine.
But Cui Mei'e is not an idle person, a normal rural woman, at her age, generally will look at the children at home or something, but Cui Mei'e can't, she went to the county town to help people sell snacks, and she also constantly contacted old Song.
Cui Mei'e thought about the size of Song Anhui is also a small head above this factory, always thinking that in the future, after this mine is opened, she can find some work or get some work from Song Anhui, Cui Mei'e has to call every day to inquire about the situation in the mining area, and on the day of her disappearance, the leader of the coal group is inspecting the work in the mining area, and Song Anhui will later get drunk and almost unconscious.
Liu Heizhu also said that after all, Old Song was a small leader and was afraid of a bad influence, so he denied having a connection with Cui Mei'e. This seems to be an explanatory reason. The police also had no evidence of his relationship with Ms. Cui, except that the phone calls were frequent.
But Cui Mei'e disappeared suddenly and without warning, without any clues, making the hearts of the case-handling personnel like a mess. But they always believe that even the most complicated puzzle will have an exit. Sure enough, after all-night investigation, the police finally found the driver of the motorcycle who sent Cui Mei'e.
He was impressed by the woman in the red scarf, first, because she ran to the countryside on a big night, and she was still a woman, and then the position where she got off the bus was more special. The intersection where you get off is quite remote, there is no one living around, and there are no street lights. Why not let the driver deliver it directly to the destination? What does a woman do on a winter night when she goes there alone?
The place where Cui Mei'e got off the bus was at an intersection in Baifang Township, would she go straight or to the path on the right? The path led to a coal mine, only a mile away, and the police concluded that Cui Mei'e should have gone in the direction of the coal mine.
Get off at the intersection
The mine is located at the foot of Fenghuangshan Village in Baisang Township, less than 10 minutes from where Cui Mei'e got off. But it was an abandoned mining area, what was Choi going there to do?
Coincidentally, Song An will be in this mining area, will Cui Mei'e go to find Old Song at night? When the police rushed to the mining area, Lao Song was holding a meeting in the field, and when no evidence was clearly found, the police did not want to fight the grass and snake, and would Cui Mei'e go up the mine and go to Phoenix Village?
The police visited Phoenix Village, but no one had seen Cui Mei'e, and it seemed that Cui Mei'e could only have arrived at the mine that night. Among the few people who stayed in the mine, only Old Song knew Cui Mei'e. If Cui Mei'e had gone to the mine that day, she would have met with Lao Song at least once, but Lao Song did not admit that she had seen Cui Mei'e that day, and the police felt that there must be something wrong with it.
At this point, all the clues were handed over to Song Anhui alone, and just when the police were considering how to control him without defense, Old Song himself came to the county public security bureau.
Song Anhui
This time, Song Anhui admitted to knowing Cui Mei'e. Because Cui Mei'e wanted to know when the mine would start, she often called him. But the night Tri mei'e disappeared, he got drunk and kept sleeping. However, because the location of the mining area is relatively far away and remote, there is no one around, which only he himself can confirm.
Investigators will be suspicious of Song Anhui's words, but there is no direct evidence to confirm the suspicion of Old Song, and in the eyes of the police, Song Anhui is calm.
Several hours passed, and the investigators waiting in the mining area did not find it, after all, it was 14 days after Cui Mei'e disappeared, and the mine personnel reported that Old Song had washed the sheets and everything these days, and the home had been cleaned up.
The night in the mountains was eerily quiet, and behind this death-like silence, it seemed to hide a huge conspiracy. Twenty or thirty meters from Song Anhui's dormitory, there is a mining area, and across from the mine is an abandoned house. The abandoned house aroused great curiosity among the investigators, who found faint red marks on the white wall on the outside.
Upon closer inspection, the red marks resemble blood marks. Intuitively, the investigators concluded that Ms. Cui had no chance of surviving, and that the place where she was killed was probably in the mine.
The loss and uneasiness of the investigators is like this dark night, rootless and unprovoked. At this moment, the bureau issued a search warrant. The police conducted a search of Song Anhui's residence in accordance with the law. Soon, the police found a mobile phone card on Song Anhui's mattress, and after dialing, they found that this number was the victim's mobile phone number. This is enough to show that Cui Mei'e has been here, or that on the night of November 14, Cui Mei'e and Song An will meet. But where exactly is the first scene? Where is Cui Mei'e's body hidden?
Due to poor light at night, the police decided to close the scene. Whether it is for Song Anhui or the case-handling staff, this will be a sleepless night, and when the dawn comes, it will also be the time to decide the fate.
After dawn, the forensic doctor examined the blood marks found on the walls at night and confirmed that they were human blood. At the same time, there are still remnants of burning red clothes in this abandoned house, are these remnants the red scarf of Cui Mei'e?
Although I had a premonition, the closer I got to the truth, the heavier the mood became, and did a life disappear like this?
Police pulled away the ashes, and there were dark red bricks underneath, most likely covered in blood. The abandoned house was most likely the site where Tri mei'e was killed, but where was the body hidden? A rubble pile near the corner of the hill aroused the suspicion of surveyors.
There are traces of new shovels in the rock pile, and there is exactly a forklift truck more than ten meters away from the rock pile. Since Song An will be the head of the mining area, he has the key to the forklift, and he will also drive the forklift.
In the face of various evidence provided by the police and meticulous inferences about what happened that night, Song Anhui finally admitted that he personally killed Cui Mei'e.
According to Song Anhui's confession, the body of the deceased was exhumed from the ruins next to the house with bloody handprints investigated by the police, which is ironclad evidence that Song Anhui will kill people and crush corpses, but what makes people wonder is what his motive for killing people is?
Around the Spring Festival in 2010, Cui Mei'e and Song Anhui finally developed into lovers because they got along day and night. After the mine was stopped, Cui Mei'e left, but the contact between the two people became more frequent.
Song An would say that he would not go to See Choi Mei-e, usually Choi Mei-e would come to him after she had time. But over time, Cui Mei'e's personality made Song Anhui begin to be unbearable. No matter what Song Anhui wants to do, Cui Mei'e wants to manage, Cui Mei'e not only controls her own man, after there is a third party outside, she also controls this third party, and Cui Mei'e will learn about the situation of Song Anhui through phone calls and text messages every day.
Every time the leader comes to inspect the work, Song An will turn off the mobile phone, but Song An will turn off the mobile phone, Cui Mei'e will call the phone to the Song An will lead the mobile phone, if the leader's mobile phone is not answered, Cui Mei'e will find Song An hui through other people's mobile phones, so Song An will especially hate Cui Mei'e at that time.
As the tired mood becomes more and more intense, Song An will want to break this non-trivial relationship as soon as possible, but Cui Mei'e does not agree, and will call Song An three or four times a day, four or five times a day.
On November 14, 2010, Cui Mei'e called Song Anhui again, just in time for the leader to come to inspect, Song Anhui said a few perfunctory words and then turned off his mobile phone, and then he was drunk and sent back to the dormitory. The place where he lived was far from where the others lived, so the others didn't know that Cui Mei'e had come to see Song Anhui that night.
That night, after Cui Mei'e helped the boss to collect the stalls, she hit a motorcycle to the intersection of Baisang Township, and a person went to the residence of the Song An Association in the dark, at this time Song An hui did not know.
In the middle of the night, Song An would wake up thirsty and want to drink some water, but when they came together, they saw Cui Mei'e sitting there. Frightened, Song An would get up and drink water, but ignored Cui Mei'e, who was very annoyed by this.
Song An would confess
Cui Mei'e asked Song Anhui who she was drinking with, and Song An would say that she had drunk with the mine leaders. Song Anhui then wanted to lie down and sleep, but Cui Mei'e kept dragging Song Anhui, and even pinched Song Anhui's neck. Taking advantage of the strength of the wine and the long period of depression, Song An would grab the red scarf around Cui Mei'e's neck and strangle Cui Mei'e to death, and then he drove a forklift, dumped the garbage on Cui Mei'e's body, and buried Cui Mei'e.
Only at this moment did Liu Heizhu determine that Song An would have killed his wife, but he still felt incredible.
Song An would say that thinking of Cui Mei'e's death, he also regretted it a lot. He felt that Cui Mei'e did not want his money, in Song Anhui's view, Cui Mei'e also had unspeakable hardships, her family conditions were not good, and she also wanted to wait for the mine to do some work to add some household use to the family. The Diaoyutai village where Cui Mei'e married is one of the poorest of the more than 400 villages in the county, and the village in the middle of the mountains is now only a dozen families left. The girls all got married, and the boys all went to other villages to become son-in-law. Originally, there was no financial resource, and her husband Liu Heizhu had liver disease and earned 600 yuan a month, and could only earn Liu Heizhu money for medicine. One person has to afford the whole family, and Cui Mei'e has to go out of the mountains, find a way, and earn some money to support the family.
The contractor team went to the outer bread project, she was cooking, going south and north, seeing more of the world and more people in contact. Like a man, Cui Mei'e is out and about, and her personality has also changed. She has a desire to control, is a strong control of her own man, has the final say at home, and is also a hand covering the sky outside, and she can do whatever she wants.
The right and wrong of the character are inconclusive, but the entanglement of right and wrong has produced such an ending, the mother of two children is gone, the father of three children is facing trial, and only Liu Heizhu is left alone to guard a few rooms at the foot of the mountain, looking at the mountain all day...
