Chapter 1716: The picture shows the dagger

Liu Fusheng looked at Qin Guang and others, while Hong Chengli pushed Hong Haoyu away and strode into the house.

Through the door, everyone saw a broken door panel in the middle of the living room on the first floor of Hong Haoyu's house. On the door panel, a dead body was lying straight.

At this time, the body was covered with a white cloth. A young woman and a boy of three or four years old were kneeling beside it. They were the ones who had just cried.

Hong Chengli turned around and introduced them to Liu Fusheng, Qin Guang and others: "That's Hong Haotian's wife and son... How did things turn out like this?"

Qin Guang walked to the door, squatted down, lifted the white cloth, took a look at Hong Haotian's body, and then turned his gaze to Sun Jing.

Sun Jing came over, checked the marks on the neck and the degree of rigidity, and said, "Hong Haotian died within half an hour. It seems that the rope strangled his respiratory tract, causing mechanical asphyxiation. Whether it was suicide or homicide requires further examination."

Before she finished speaking, Hong Haoyu pointed at Sun Jing excitedly and yelled, "What the hell are you talking about, you bitch? My elder brother was forced to death by policemen like you, and now you want to slander him by saying that he was killed? Who in his family would kill him? Me? Or my mother? Or this widow and her orphan? If you keep talking nonsense, I will kill you immediately to avenge my elder brother!"

Sun Jing ignored Hong Haoyu and just stood up and said to Qin Guang: "I want to go to the first scene to take a look."

Qin Guang nodded and signaled the two police officers to go upstairs with Sun Jing.

The old lady had already said that Hong Haotian hanged himself in the room.

Hong Haoyu wanted to stop the police from investigating the case, but was stopped by Hong Chengli's loud shout.

Hong Haoyu said: "Village head, are you just going to let these policemen do whatever they want in my house? My elder brother is lying on the ground, his body is still warm!"

Hong Chengli said in a deep voice: "The police comrades are investigating the case. No matter you or anyone else, you are not allowed to say that Hong Haotian was forced to death by the police. If anyone says such a thing, I will enforce the family law on him!"

"you……"

Hong Haoyu was very afraid of the family rules and seemed to have not expected that Hong Chengli would help the police bully his own people.

He looked unconvinced, but he didn't dare to stop the police.

Sun Jing followed the police officers to Hong Haotian's room, conducted a careful inspection, and took photos as evidence.

More than ten minutes later, Sun Jing went downstairs and said to Qin Guang: "The crime scene has been investigated and no signs of homicide have been found. I suggest that the scene be temporarily sealed off so that if any problems are found later, a detailed investigation can be conducted."

Qin Guang looked at Hong Chengli.

Hong Chengli frowned, obviously thinking that Sun Jing's request was excessive.

Before he could say anything, Liu Fusheng said with a smile: "Village Chief Hong, Hong Haotian is your clansman, you don't want him to die in vain, right?"

Hong Chengli took a deep breath and said, "Okay, since Secretary Liu also thinks it is necessary to seal off the crime scene, then let's temporarily seal off this house. However, our Hong family has always had a rule that emphasizes being buried in peace. After the funeral, I hope Hong Haotian can be buried as soon as possible. After all, the dead are the greatest. Even if he committed any crime during his lifetime, it should be written off after his death, right?"

Hong Chengli was using the blockade of the scene to negotiate terms with Liu Fusheng and Qin Guang.

Sun Jing didn't even think about it and immediately shook her head and said, "Impossible. Hong Haotian's body needs to be brought back to the city for forensic examination. It cannot be cremated or buried for the time being."

"What the hell did you say?"

Hong Haoyu pointed at Sun Jing, his eyes red and roaring loudly.

Sun Jing looked at him coldly and said, "This is the police's case handling procedure. You must follow it even if you don't want to. This includes the sealing of the first death scene, which must be strictly enforced. If anyone privately destroys the crime scene, the police have the right to arrest you for obstructing public service."

"Well, well, well! Fellow villagers, look, they..."

Just as Hong Haoyu was about to incite the villagers around him, he saw Hong Chengli walk up to him and knock his arm down with a snap: "Shut up!"

Now, there are hundreds of indignant villagers surrounding Hong Haotian's house. Any slight disturbance will lead to a serious mass incident.

Hong Chengli didn't want things to get too out of hand, so of course he couldn't allow Hong Haoyu to talk nonsense.

Qin Guang said: "Village Chief Hong, sealing off the crime scene is very important to the police. What Forensic Doctor Sun just said is the crime-solving process written in our Ministry of Public Security's action manual."

Liu Fusheng also smiled and said, "I think Team Leader Qin's request is not excessive. Village Chief Hong, what do you think?"

Hong Chengli sighed and said, "Okay, I support the work of the police."

After that, he said to Hong Haoyu, Hong's mother, and Hong Haotian's wife: "From now on, Hong Haotian's room will be sealed by the police. None of you are allowed to approach until the police close the case. Do you understand? In addition, the police will also take away Hong Haotian's body!"

Upon hearing this, Hong Haoyu was so angry that he trembled all over, while Hong's mother and Hong Haotian's wife started to cry.

Hong Chengli said seriously: "I promise you, if Hong Haotian's body is damaged in the slightest, you can all come to me, Hong Chengli, and I will personally take you and all the elders and villagers of Hong Village to the station of the special task force to ask the Chaojiang Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government for an explanation!"

These words were both a promise from Hong Chengli to Hong Haotian's family and a warning to Liu Fusheng, Qin Guang and others.

Liu Fusheng smiled slightly and said nothing.

Qin Guang ordered the police officers to lift the door panel and transport Hong Haotian's body to the police van in the distance.

The two police officers were carrying the body, but after only a few steps they were surrounded by villagers from Hong Village.

At this time, the door of Hong Haotian's house, the nearby roads, and even the walls of the neighbor's courtyard were all filled with villagers from Hong Village. Some of them were holding iron bars, machetes and other weapons in their hands, looking at the police with eager faces.

Qin Guang saw this scene, sighed heavily, and asked Hong Chengli: "Village Chief Hong, what do you mean by this? Are the villagers of Hong Village going to resist the law with violence?"

Hong Chengli ignored him and said to Liu Fusheng: "Secretary Liu, I have something I want to talk to you about."

Liu Fusheng asked: "What does Village Chief Hong want to talk about?"

Hong Chengli said: "Hongcun has always been fair in doing things. We will not cause trouble to the country, but we also don't want to be troubled by the government! Secretary Liu, you are the top leader of Chaojiang District and hold supreme power over the three cities of Chaojiang. We in Hongcun respect you very much!"

"But just because Hongcun people are easy to talk to doesn't mean they are easy to bully. I hope Secretary Liu can be more measured in certain matters and not push people too far... We can be friends and make our paths wider, rather than being enemies and getting into trouble with each other. What do you think?"

It turned out that Hong Chengli's compromise and concession to Liu Fusheng, Qin Guang and others were all perfunctory and false. It was not until the police officers lifted up Hong Haotian's body that he revealed his true intentions and negotiated with Liu Fusheng.
