Chapter 113 Impossible Disposal
Zhou Yang nodded. From the brief inquiry he had just received, he had heard at least five unusual things. However, all of this was only the street's side of the story, and its veracity remained to be verified.
The two immediately relayed the information they received back to the municipal bureau.
If an investigation into Songhe Trading is needed later, Liu Chengyu will definitely need to inform him; otherwise, if something happens during the investigation, it will be troublesome.
"Actually, I think that although it looks chaotic now, we can actually sort out some issues!" Xiao Jiale suddenly said as the two walked.
Zhou Yang paused, a hint of curiosity on his face: "Oh, tell me your thoughts, I'm very interested!"
Xiao Jiale initially thought Zhou Yang was teasing him, but when he looked up, he met the other man's sincere gaze.
"I don't think it was just one person who killed Sun Weixin and Sun Yan!" Xiao Jiale said, nodding as if to encourage himself.
He then stated his opinion: if it was a murderer, then the bodies could have been placed together, whether by burying Sun Weixin in the ground with the other two, or by throwing the other two into the manhole.
However, considering that the manhole was in a busy urban area, there might not have been enough time, but it is difficult to change a person's habit of disposing of a body, so he felt that there must have been at least two murderers.
Then there's the body that's currently unclaimed. It's possible that Sun Yan killed it, or it could have been the person who buried it.
Finally, there's Su Qiang. If the rumors circulating in the streets are true, then Songhe Trading has a serious problem. This has been going on for so long, yet the public security bureau is unaware of it, and the company has handled it extremely calmly. No one has reported it afterward, which is strange in itself.
Throughout the journey, Zhou Yang mostly listened, while Xiao Jiale kept talking. His thoughts were quite jumpy, but he found that whenever he couldn't accurately express what he wanted to say, Zhou Yang could understand and articulate his thoughts, which made him feel a sense of tacit understanding.
"Actually, I agree with you!" Zhou Yang looked at the expectant expression on the other's face: "A body dumped in a manhole is a quick disposal of the body, while burying a body shows planning and control; the killer even prepared tools to dig the hole!"
From a criminal psychology perspective, throwing something into a manhole carries a strong symbolic meaning for the perpetrator of the crime, creating a sense of detachment. The perpetrator may have committed a crime of passion, and the crime scene is usually not far from the actual crime scene, indicating familiarity with the surrounding environment. The handling of the situation may appear hasty or even perfunctory.
However, burying the body carries a sense of funeral, with the psychological expectation of permanent disappearance and prevention of accidental discovery. Such a killer is more calm, methodical, and patient, and the crime scene is some distance from the burial site, indicating a considerable understanding of the burial site.
Xiao Jiale looked at Zhou Yang, who was speaking eloquently: "These...you summarized all of this yourself?"
Seeing the despair in his eyes, Zhou Yang nodded. Although it was based on his experience from his previous life, he couldn't say it out loud: "A couple of years ago, our country established the 'Criminal Psychology Research Association,' which falls under the discipline of criminal psychology. I studied it for a while!"
After a moment of digestion, Xiao Jiale looked up and asked, "So you mean the person who killed Sun Weixin was near the manhole, and the burial site for Sun Yan was a place the murderer was familiar with?"
Zhou Yang nodded; that was indeed his thought.
"The murderer who killed Sun Weixin looked down on him from the bottom of his heart and just threw him away like trash. But the murderer who killed Sun Yan was allowed to be buried in peace?" Xiao Jiale muttered, feeling that something was strange.
You've already killed someone, so why talk about burial? That's a bit hard to understand. But what's that saying again? Even if you don't understand, you should still respect it.
The two remained silent for a long time, neither of them speaking.
Zhou Yang's mind is currently preoccupied with Sun Weixin, Sun Yan, and the unidentified corpse—how to connect them. He believes that once this piece of the puzzle is completed, the case will become much simpler.
However, given the current technological limitations and the constraints of our time, forensic experts can only estimate the time of death to be around three months, and even the order of death cannot be determined. This undoubtedly adds another layer of difficulty to the investigation.
After a while, the two finally arrived at Songhe Trading Company, located in the middle area between the west and south of the city.
Perhaps because they had been given instructions from above, Zhou Yang and Xiao Jiale were immediately led into a spacious room upon their arrival, where they were received by the head of one of the departments.
The two didn't beat around the bush and went straight to asking about Su Qiang.
According to this person, Su Qiang was poached from elsewhere by the boss at a high price. He was mainly responsible for export trade and initially did generate a lot of profit for the company.
However, as the company brought in more and more talent, Su Qiang's original model gradually became unsuitable. But the boss, Qiao Songnian, still considered their past relationship and continued to pay him wages according to the standards they had agreed upon at the time.
Su Qiang was under a lot of psychological pressure. He had talked to his colleagues about quitting his job several times and even had suicidal thoughts. Many of his colleagues could testify to this.
At first, everyone thought it was just a casual remark, until that day at work, Su Qiang silently jumped off the building, and everyone was stunned.
Zhou and Yang both frowned.
"Didn't you know he had suicidal thoughts before, and didn't you try to persuade him to seek medical treatment?" Xiao Jiale asked.
"Yes, of course we have!" The person in charge explained with a wry smile, "Our chairman, President Qiao, has had Su Qiang's deputy drag him to the hospital for treatment more than once, but he himself wouldn't cooperate, so there was nothing we could do!"
"I heard that after this incident, your company disposed of the body on its own?" Xiao Jiale asked, pretending not to care, but his eyes were fixed on the man.
"How could we dare? That's illegal!" The person in charge shook his head. "At the time, we advocated calling the police and waiting for the family to arrive, since that would avoid any disputes. But who knew such a coincidence would happen!"
According to the person in charge, they were prepared to follow the normal channels at the time, since such a large company must do everything according to the rules and regulations.
But less than ten minutes after this happened, Su Qiang's family arrived with his suicide note and tried to forcibly take him away. Since President Qiao wasn't there, we didn't dare to stop them.
I had no choice but to call the police and explain the situation. After that, I don't know what happened.
......
"Something's not right, something's really not right!" On the way back, Xiao Jiale stopped and grabbed Zhou Yang's arm. "Don't you think it's full of flaws?"
Seeing that Zhou Yang remained silent, he became slightly agitated: "Putting aside the fact that what he said was almost identical to what the neighborhood committee said, his account of the series of actions after the jump is completely wrong!"
When I checked Su Qiang's information before, it showed that his account had been closed.
But if someone dies an unnatural death, not only is the body taken away first, but how is a death certificate issued, and would the funeral home dare to accept and burn the body?
