At 5:30 in the afternoon, more than a dozen police officers were carefully searching Tu Qiang's residence in a residential building in Xinghai District, Yaoming City.
This is an old-fashioned residential building with only 70 square meters. Due to Ms. Xie's irregular maintenance, although it has been unoccupied for two years, it has always been kept clean and tidy.
More than a dozen police officers were all professional investigators transferred by Wang Can from the technical team and forensics department to ensure that no clues would be missed.
Zhao Yu believed that if Tu Qiang was the real murderer X who killed 13 victims, then there might be some evidence of crime left in his home.
If any evidence related to the murder memoir can be found, Tu Qiang can be made to bow his head and plead guilty.
At this moment, Zhao Yu stood in the living room of Tu Qiang's house, carefully observing the environment here.
Through preliminary observation, he could confirm that Tu Qiang was indeed a person who loved reading.
On his bookcase, in addition to a large number of legal books, there are also many other professional books, such as psychology, pathology and even criminal investigation, etc. It can be said that he is well-read.
Moreover, Tu Qiang is a very careful person, and every book is kept very complete and clean. When you open the book, you can still see the neat notes he took.
This made Zhao Yu involuntarily think of Li Danlai in the hand-chopping case. It can be seen that Tu Qiang is also a very calculating and cautious person, which is also very consistent with the character of the real murderer X.
All in all, with the investigation now, Zhao Yu has become more and more convinced that he has found the wrong person. This Tu Qiang should be the real murderer The scapegoat whose mind was bewitched by him.
"Master," Wang Can also said to Zhao Yu with excitement, "Ms. Xie said that although Tu Qiang only lived in this old house for about a year before going to prison.
“However, the things here are basically old items from their past!
"Well..." He turned on his mobile phone and just checked the real estate information. "According to the data, this house was built in 1997. Tu Qiang and his wife bought a new house at that time and have lived here for five years.
"And during that period, the murder memoirs were not over, so we might actually find something! As long as we can establish contact with the victim, are we still afraid that Tu Qiang's grandson will not confess?"
"But the key is..." Zhao Yu said, "We at least need to know what specific cases he committed during that time! The eight cases in the murder memoirs were all compiled by him, and we can The five confirmed cases all occurred before 1997!"
"Well... indeed..." Wang Can nodded and said, "Master, then... how about this? Let me search all the information on female missing persons from that era again? See if any of them match the characteristics of murder memoirs?"
"This..." Zhao Yu looked a little embarrassed.
"It doesn't matter," Wang Can said, "During the initial investigation, all the information had been collected, but at that time we thought that the murder memoirs were all true!
"Now, we just need to compare it again according to certain conditions," Wang Can said extremely positively. "At that time, we found a total of more than 400 missing cases. If we shorten the time node, the workload will not be huge. It won’t be too big. We have professional technicians and should be able to get it done quickly!”
"Okay," Zhao Yu nodded, "As long as there is a little hope, we must fight for it..."
"Okay! I'll do it right away..." After saying that, Wang Can picked up the phone and went outside to make a call.
"Team leader, team leader..." At this time, Zeng Ke ran in from the outside and reported to Zhao Yuhui, "There was news from the prison. Several prisoners confirmed that Tu Qiang and Nong Zhifa had indeed had a bad relationship. Ordinary communication…”
"Holy crap!" Zhao Yu frowned, "We have investigated these prisoners before, why didn't we tell them before?"
"Hmm... maybe... maybe there weren't any suspicious objects before, right?" Zeng Ke explained, "Prisoners have a lot of contact with prisoners!"
"Then..." Zhao Yu asked, "What kind of abnormal communication is it?"
"The prisoners said that Nong Zhifa and Tu Qiang were relatively boring people in prison. Someone once saw the two people having close contact, as if... they were chatting very speculatively...
"Also, when they talk, they usually hide away from the crowd, looking mysterious..."
"Really?" Zhao Yu didn't quite believe it, raised his eyebrows and asked again, "Is there more?"
"No," Zeng Ke replied seriously, "That's all! In fact, the prisoners said that because of their incompatible personalities, they didn't have much contact with these two people..."
"Alas!" Zhao Yu sighed. Of course he understood that prisoners were coming in and out of the prison like a revolving door, so it was reasonable to not have much contact with them.
"Team leader..." Zeng Ke said again, "I just contacted Cui Lizhu, and they are still interrogating me. It seems that Tu Qiang is also willing to go all out. He refuses to speak, just because he is betting that we can't find definite evidence! "
"Then let the prison authorities check him carefully," Zhao Yu asked. "Look at his personal belongings. Are there anything related to the murder memoirs?"
"I've looked for it several times, but I can't find it..." Zeng Ke shook his head.
"Well... that's right, this guy is so careful, even if there is evidence, he would have destroyed it long ago!" Zhao Yu sighed, "Don't mention it, if we really can't find new evidence, we will have to watch him get away with it!
"He is a lawyer, he must know this very well!"
"Yes!" Zeng Ke agreed, watching the investigators' work, and suggested to Zhao Yu, "Team leader, if you want to get evidence, you have to find a way elsewhere!
"It would be great if we could find the things he used to commit the crime!"
"Nonsense," Zhao Yu pointed at the investigators and said, "otherwise, how could I have called so many people over?"
"I think..." Zeng Ke added, "Tu Qiang didn't only have such a residence before. We should talk to Ms. Xie again and ask her to take us to find out more about Tu Qiang.
"Maybe we can find something important? You think so?"
"That's right!" Zhao Yu slapped his thigh, his eyes lit up, and he said quickly, "I think so too, so please come and take a trip! I'll leave this job to you!"
"..." Zeng Ke grinned, but still nodded in agreement, "Okay, then I'll go find someone with Wang Can now! I'll do it..."
After saying that, Zeng Ke turned around and wanted to leave.
"Wait a minute," Zhao Yu stopped him again and said, "There is another task that must be left to you and Wang Can!"
"Oh," Zeng Ke asked hurriedly, "What mission?"
"Although the victims recorded in the murder memoirs were randomly selected by the murderer, but..." Zhao Yu raised his eyebrows, "What if the murderer also made it up?"
"You... you mean..." Zeng Keruo had some realization.
"You and Wang Can send people to investigate Tu Qiang's interpersonal relationships," Zhao Yu said, "especially the time period when the murder memoirs incident occurred. See if anyone related to Tu Qiang has disappeared..."
