June 30, 2003 more than 7:00 p.m., Tianjin Beichen District, outside the village of Xinhe a secluded country road suddenly shadowed a group of people. The leader of the village party branch secretary Lao He. Just ten minutes ago, the new river village village committee is preparing to convene a meeting of party members, the old He listened to several members of the discussion, said to listen to the people walking in the village, the village outside the ditch seems to be floating in a body, the secretary asked if it is not to look at the eyes of the flower? The other replied, can not say, I was listening to their blind discussion.
Human life is at stake! Lao He announced on the spot temporarily adjourned the meeting, the participants immediately followed him to the scene to explore the truth.
The canal was finally hazy in people's sight, through the flashlight light, a few people with tree branches to peel away the rotting weeds, the old He and the people present almost all the courage to be sure of the village's argument, because, in the mess of rotting grass underneath the bones of a mutilated body was revealed.
Minutes later, the confirmed news was reported to the Tianjin Public Security Bureau's Beichen branch via 110. After receiving the report, the branch director Xing Wei, deputy director in charge of criminal investigation Nie Manshui immediately instructed the criminal police and Shuangjie police station to send officers to quickly. Deputy Branch Chief Xu Cheng immediately mobilized the criminal investigation and technical personnel quickly rushed to the scene, followed by the relevant personnel of the Municipal Criminal Investigation Bureau also drove to the scene.
The scene is located in Beichen District, Shuangjie Town, a village outside the village, near the Beijing-Tianjin highway east of an abandoned aqueduct. The forensic preliminary identification, the body is female, about 1.60 meters tall, aged between 25 and 30 years old, the body was highly corrupted, had been burned, both arms have been cut off, the face was also destroyed by a blunt instrument, most of the body's soft tissues have been cut off with a knife. Analyzing the situation at the scene, it can be concluded that this is not the scene of the murder but the body was dumped here after the murder.
Judging from the scene geographic location, the aqueduct is located in the east of Beijing-Tianjin highway, far from the village, if the assumption that the murderer specifically come here to dump the body, then it is likely to be from the city direction towards the north.
The scene provided to the criminal investigators in addition to the scene of these intuitive things, there is basically no other reference to the clues.
Through the local police station and the case officers for several days on the Beichen District and the village around the dumping site of meticulous investigation, found that in recent times, the surrounding areas do not match its missing persons, basically ruled out the possibility of the deceased living in Beichen.
So why did the murderer dump the body in this remote suburban canal? Is the first scene of the murder somewhere in the North Star District? Or does the murderer have some intrinsic relationship with Northstar.
To determine the identity of the deceased in life is the key to deciphering this mystery. The task force immediately turned its focus to the city's districts and quickly sent out a concordance notice to all districts in the city to look for missing women in the near future whose conditions matched those of the deceased.
Just then, the scene investigation technicians have made a major discovery: from the body's oral cavity, technicians accidentally found that the deceased upper right tooth molar is set after the technical examination, found that this denture is porcelain and metal synthesis, the lower left tooth of the three dentures are also made of porcelain.
With this major discovery, the investigators split up and visited several well-known dental hospitals in the city. Dental experts finally concluded that: first, the deceased oral cavity inlaid with four dentures are about 600 yuan each. The total cost should be more than 3,000 yuan; second, from the health of the deceased's teeth, the deceased is likely to often regularly to the dental hospital to find a dentist to do dental care and oral health care; third, from the metal and porcelain synthesis of the teeth on the analysis of the doctor who can set this tooth must have a certain level of technical standards and equipment, general road stalls on the road without a license dentist is difficult to achieve this professional skills.
If the doctor who set the teeth could be accessed, he would certainly be able to recall some of the circumstances of the deceased's life, because, the dentist was impressed by such high-spending patients.
This conclusion suggests that the deceased had a good living condition during her lifetime and her financial income should be at least white-collar. It is by no means the average working class or wage earner.
With this clue, the task force immediately spread out the people, in Tianjin, more than a dozen dental hospitals began to visit the investigation. But a few days passed, the investigation basically no progress.
Checking the dentist's work is being carried out in tension, a missing person's information attracted their attention: according to the Tianjin Hexi Branch of the report records: June 20, 2003, living in Hexi District, a district resident of the report of a Chen, said his wife Liu Ling on June 18 suddenly disappeared, disappeared in a white Charade car. Requested the police to help find.
In addition, Nankai District, a party school near a small area found an owner of a white Charade car, according to the people around the reflection that the car was a few days ago, driving a man and a woman, the man is about 30 years of age, carrying a fanny pack, walking mysterious, the woman is probably more than 20 years old, they will be the car into the car, get out of the car and go, and has not been shown again.
The license plate was verified with the Municipal Traffic Management Bureau of the DMV, confirmed that the owner of the car is the missing days of Liu Ling. Liu Ling, now 27 years old, married, graduated from a university in Tianjin, Tianjin City Bureau of Personnel Department cadres.
So, this mutilated body is not the missing Liu Ling?
Investigators quickly found Liu Ling's mother, his mother's testimony confirmed that Liu Ling did go to the dental hospital set a few dentures, and is metal and porcelain synthesis of high-grade dentures. In order to be accurate, they specialize in the deceased and Liu Ling's mother to do a DNA identification, and finally identified the deceased is missing for many days of Liu Ling.
According to Liu Ling's husband, Chen Mou, Liu Ling disappeared before, the two are in a divorce because of emotional discord, and Liu Ling himself is busy with all kinds of formalities for emigration, the mood is basically stable.
July 4, a city by the Criminal Investigation Bureau and Beichen, Hexi criminal police composed of "6-18" homicide task force was established.
After an extensive investigation into the social relations of the deceased, the police did not find that the deceased had a debt or emotional grudges with anyone. Just before the disappearance of Liu Ling is busy for some matters abroad, had to find a lot of colleagues and friends to borrow money. Basically, we can rule out the possibility of homicide.
Liu Ling disappeared that day at noon, the unit had seen Liu Ling driving her Charade car from the unit's yard out. No anomalies were found. However, from the evening of the 18th, Liu Ling's cell phone began to be turned off.
Unit colleagues also reflected. June 17 and 18, there was a Mandarin-speaking man called Liu Ling's unit three times, when Liu went down to the grassroots level to engage in inspections happened to be absent, listening to the tone of the other side seems to be a quiet person.
From the scene of the body analysis, the reason why the murderer killed and then brutally dismembered the body, and even destroyed the face of the deceased, indicating that the deceased and the murderer is very familiar with the deceased, the purpose is to obstruct the police to confirm the true identity of the deceased, in order to achieve the escape of justice, which does not rule out the possibility of trying to money and death.
Is there really such a mysterious man wandering outside the police line of sight?
In people's daily lives, each person's social relationships such as disjointed, three or two confidantes, irreconcilable friends, classmates and old friends, even the closest people who can say. The complexity of social interactions Liu Ling more difficult for people to say clearly. In the case of detection is at a stalemate stage, an important clue to the detection of the case has brought a new turnaround.
June 18 night 2 o'clock, Beichen District, a village villager Yan driving a motorcycle on the way home, in the Beijing-Tianjin highway near a country road, found a car quietly parked in the dark shadow of the roadside, due to the absence of driving lights, causing Yan almost head-on collision. Fortunately, he reacted flexibly to flash away, but the panic Yan saw two people in the car, the driver can be sure is a man, the next person did not see. Usually like to play with the car Yan immediately recognized that it was a Geely sedan. Just because it is dark, the color of the car did not see accurate, estimated to be gray or light yellow.
According to Yan's identification of the scene, he met with the car from the scene of the dumping of the body is only a dozen meters. So far, can be sure to participate in the murder or dumping for a man and a woman two people. But it is difficult to explain is that the deceased was discarded is a white Charade, but the scene appeared to be a light-colored Geely car? So it seems that the murderer has some kind of connection with this mysterious Geely car.
In the investigation surrounding the social relations of the deceased's life, several males included in the police line of sight have been ruled out, and finally, a suspect named Lu Peng is quietly rising.
Lv Peng, 28, and the deceased Liu Ling had been high school classmates. He graduated from Nankai University with a bachelor's degree, unmarried, and worked as a salesman for an import and export company in Tianjin. According to police investigations, since the recent period, Lv Liu two frequent interaction. Especially before and after the crime, Lv Peng's own activities have many suspicious.
First of all, Liu Ling disappeared in the afternoon, Lv Peng himself did not go to work, but when the police asked him about his activities on that day, he said that all day in the unit at work, obviously lying; Secondly, before the murder, he had frequent and Liu Ling to keep in touch with the phone, but when the police to find out about the situation when he was trying to avoid or even deny. Lv Peng's girlfriend Song Yan in the North Star Development Zone, a company, from the unit is located in the location, the Tianjin-Beijing highway is a must, Lv Peng because of the transportation of his girlfriend often travel between the city and North Star, so the location of North Star is not strange.
Never dealt with the police Lv Peng first face criminal police, he still seems to be quite a bit of the city, and even acted very calmly, as if he had expected the police will find his head, so he is a bystander's point of view desperately trying to absolve themselves
"I and Liu Ling is just a general friend, and usually just through the phone contact only. This spring, she looked for me to borrow money, I have money in hand but do not want to lend it to her, so I have been looking for excuses to delay. the morning of June 18th she came to the phone to find me to borrow money, I was determined to rebuff her, so the afternoon call is to tell her. But while we were talking, I heard a phone suddenly ringing on Liu Ling's side, and I don't know who called her, but she only fed me and hung up on me."
The implication is self-evident: the one who called Liu Ling, in addition to him, there was another mysterious man who might have talked to her on the phone
But the police weren't fooled by the illusion that he had set up. But the police were not fooled by the illusion he set up. Because the "suspicions" he provided just confirmed his inner emptiness. That certainly raised his suspicions.
It is understood that Lu Peng himself in the city center has an empty room, he claimed to have lent to a single friend Zhao living. And the day of the crime, Zhao did not come back, but Lv Peng had taken a strange young woman patronized this
On a certain morning in late June, Lv Peng suddenly in the house of great hygiene, scrubbing the floor with a mop of water, so full of water in the hallways; even more strange is that the downstairs neighbors raised a small dog suddenly perversely ran upstairs to desperately smell the water stains on the ground
In the investigation of the Lv Peng investigation at the same time, a young woman called Wang Li also included in the police line of sight. 28-year-old Wang Li graduated from a well-known university in Tianjin, married, after graduation in the city, a company responsible for foreign trade import and export work. She and Lv Peng usually frequent exchanges, and she usually drives a metallic yellow Geely sedan.
After the investigation, it was confirmed that on the day of the crime, Wang Li had driven a Geely car to Lv Peng's home.
July 8, according to the unified deployment of the task force, the two roads at the same time, the suspect Lv Peng and Wang Li were arrested in their workplaces. Lv Peng, who had been summoned by the police, though still calm and collected on the surface, could not hide the extreme emptiness and fear in his heart. After seven hours of head-on confrontation, in front of a large amount of evidence and uncovered lies, at dawn, the mystery of the case was finally unveiled, the murderer for the Lv Peng, and Wang Li is to help his transportation to dump the body of the accomplices.
Born in 1975, Lv Peng growth environment should be said to be better than other people of the same age, from a young age in the high knowledge of the family grew up, he almost did not experience many of life's frustrations. 1994, he was admitted to the Department of Economics of the Nankai University, career and family at the same time, almost for him to create a smooth sailing ship. After joining the workforce, his economic income and social status is also the best among his peers. The sunshine of life shines unstintingly on his newly started life.
Lv Peng's father was the boss of a state-owned enterprise in Tianjin, and his mother was a senior teacher in a middle school. In this family with a favorable living environment, Lu Peng received a strict tutelage and formal education from a young age. His parents also placed great hope in their only son. From elementary school to high school, he was always the best among his peers.
As he grew older, Lu Peng's psychological communication with his parents gradually decreased. His father, who was busy working all day long, seldom cared about his son during the period of puberty, and only his mother would ask about some things between school and classmates. So, with his parents gradually estranged, he began to look for another kind of care. He learned to smoke and began to fall in love with a girl in the same grade. But for the gifted man, these distractions didn't stop him from going to college, and in 1993, he enrolled at Nankai University in Tianjin, majoring in economics. His relationship with Song Yan began in college, but his relationship with Liu Ling dates back to his high school days.
At that time, they were classmates in the same grade, and Liu Ling was very smart, lively and active, and keen on all kinds of social interactions. In the high school years, although they have had a number of interactions, but it is some normal interactions between male and female classmates, almost nothing to the other side of the heart or touched by the past.
After graduating from high school, Liu Ling enrolled in a university in Tianjin. The two of them have lost touch with each other because they are busy with their own studies. In his sophomore year, Lu Peng was invited to attend a family party organized by his classmates, and inadvertently encountered Liu Ling, although the separation time is not too long, but the reunion of old friends is still not inevitable touched a bit.
This time, the meeting allowed them to re-establish the bond of contact. For example, they asked Lu Peng to buy some goods in short supply, or asked him to give some ideas on some things, so the phone contact or occasional meetings gradually deepened the sense of trust between them, although so, but their relationship did not go by the wayside. Because Lu Peng and fellow student Song Yan's feelings are deep. So, Liu Ling is just a general friend to him.
These days have been turned over to Lu Peng's junior year, one day, a long time have not seen Liu Ling suddenly came to the dormitory to find him, said there is a package of valuable things want to ask him to save. Lu Peng asked what it was. Liu Ling said you don't need to ask, when the time comes, you will return the things to me on the line. Said, handed him a tightly packed plastic bag.
Lv Peng on her mysterious behavior has always been puzzled, although he will be the package hidden in the dormitory of the most hidden places, but he always has a sense of fear in his heart, he began to suspect that the package of things may be drugs, if this is really the case, in case of public security bureau to find him, he is covered with mouth I'm afraid that can not be said clearly. Tend to a sense of self-protection, half a month later, one night, he will be the package of white powder poured into the toilet water flushed away.
Ten days later, one night, Liu Ling suddenly came to the phone to say the evening to pick up something. He had to lie that he accidentally threw, the other side listened to the furious. Questioned why he privately destroyed other people's things? Lu Peng repeatedly explained and apologized, the other party finally forgave him angrily.
After that, they lost contact for a while, and it was only after they graduated from college and got employed with each other that they resumed their relationship at a chance reunion.
Lv Peng's spare time is spent surfing the Internet, playing soccer and chatting and partying with friends. Although he has passed the age of starting a family and has a girlfriend who has been in love with him for years, he still chooses to live a carefree life. He doesn't want to step into marriage too early.
As a result of business dealings, he met Wang Li, a female salesperson from another foreign trade company. Although it is a business partnership, the trust between each other is very high.
And the most difficult for Lv Peng or Liu Ling, and he contacted, she would often call suddenly, the words vaguely reveal a kind of understanding and sympathy for him, and occasionally mentioned that the package of white powder washed away by him.
This always kept a shadow of fear with Lu Peng's heart. He had wanted to try to get rid of it, but all efforts failed.
One day in April 2003, Liu Ling suddenly called Lu Peng said he wanted to find him to borrow some money, Lu Peng would like to shirk, but the other party's tone began to tough up, open mouth to borrow 40,000 yuan, Lu Peng began to reject, but the other party immediately reopened the old scores, said that if that matter is shaken out to no one's benefit. She even to Lv and Wang Li private relationship is very close and so on to its blackmail
Lv Peng listen, heart suddenly hair, he did not know what channels the other side is through his details so understand. He thought, if his girlfriend knows everything, the consequences will be unimaginable; but most let his heart trembling is that year the mysterious package of white powder. In case the Public Security Bureau investigation, he is all mouth can not say. His fragile psychological defense at this time is shaking.
After more than a month of repeated thinking, he made up his mind to spend money to settle the matter. So verbally promised her to meet to talk, that morning, Liu Ling drove to the unit to find him, Lu Peng afraid of colleagues know the bad influence, sitting in her car to talk. Her main purpose is to borrow money, Lu Peng almost in a state of extreme imbalance agreed.
The next afternoon, Lu Peng support away from the borrowing of friends, will be about her to the city center of the house, would like to talk with her again to press the price, but who wants the other party did not give in, can soon talk about the collapse.
Liu Ling was annoyed to turn around to go, the heart of the weak Lu Peng and pull her back to say that want to talk again. But the other side of the price is not let go, irritated Lu Peng scolded, you fucking or people? Said, a foot just kicked in her stomach, Liu Ling's body fell on his back, his head just touched the corner of the table, his head was broken through a hole, face full of blood on the ground not move.
Lu Peng guarded Liu Ling until nightfall. Liu Ling did not slow down, Lu Peng heart panicked, when he found Liu Ling's nose has no breath, he really stupid, he would never have thought that the end is such a terrible end. He froze and smoked half a carton of cigarettes, and decided to dispose of the body first, so he got a knife from the kitchen to dismember the body, and then put it in a box and bag respectively.
He alone simply can not transfer the body away, in a hurry, he thought of the most trusted Wang Li, immediately called to Wang Li, Wang Li into the door, he first Wang Li blindfolded, and then pulled her into the house, the murder of his own said again. Wang Li heard very nervous. But still promised him to help get rid of the body.
They worked on it until midnight, and finally Lu Peng decided to dump the body near the Beichen district, far away from the city.
In the middle of the night, the two of them, Lu Peng, drove their car and pulled the body straight to the direction of Beichen. On the way they bought gasoline, the two drove around in the wild for a while, and finally found a water channel in the wild, the two were about to do it, suddenly there were lights of a motorcycle in the distance, scaring them half a dozen times in the car to hide. After burning the body and abandoning it in the ditch, they quickly drove away from the scene
After the body was disposed of, Lv Peng and Wang Li found an opportunity to throw Liu Ling's white Xiali into a cluster of buildings in Nankai District.
One day in February 2004, the reporter met the detained Lu Peng in the detention center. Separated from the closed fence, the reporter in front of the Lu Peng looks a little haggard, his head down and kept inhaling cigarettes, from the logic of his conversation thinking, it is not difficult to feel that he had received a good education. He said that his parents at home since childhood on his education is extremely strict. Even after joining the work, at home he did not dare to smoke in front of his mother. So in front of his parents he was a well-behaved and filial son.
Lv Peng's girlfriend Song Yan is his college classmates, the two began dating from college until he walked into the detention center, from the emotional foundation can be said to be firmly rooted. In the eyes of Lu Peng, Song Yan's kindness and innocence seems to surpass all the girls. Before the incident, Song Yan was hospitalized due to illness, Lu Peng has also been accompanied by a number of days and nights in the hospital bed serving.
If there was no such human tragedy, life might have gone on normally. How could his parents and girlfriend have imagined that the gentle-looking Lu Peng would one day kill and mutilate people? How could her husband and coworkers believe that the thin and quiet Wang Li would become an accomplice in a bloodbath? No one thought about it, but the tragedy happened so cruelly. Lv Peng, Wang Li and killed Liu Ling were once a generation of students in institutions of higher learning. But they are spreading their wings to fly, realize their dreams of life in the golden years of life stage. The dead have gone, the murderer will be severely punished by law. But this case for us to sound the alarm but should be resounding in everyone's mind.
