Officer Yang's worldview is always different from mine. In my opinion, there are still many questions about many cases, but Officer Yang feels that the case has been solved. I didn't understand this behavior before, but after the first empty package express case, I gradually understood Officer Yang's thoughts. After all, he was considering the issue from the perspective of the entire police station and even the police, while I was just thinking about myself.
The wife of the man committed suicide out of fear of crime, and the case was announced to be completely solved by Officer Yang. Of course, in order to attract more attention more quickly, Officer Yang also exaggerated the case and involved me in it. But I was not happy when I heard the news, because I knew that the real culprit of this case had not been caught yet.
But what can I do? Right now, I don’t have enough evidence to overturn this case. All I can do is wait, wait for the right time to come, and then personally bring the real murderer to Officer Yang for a face-to-face confrontation.
When I returned home that afternoon, Ding Yang from the special case team came to my house to see me. He was the person I asked Officer Yang to send to support me. As for what he does, I will keep it a secret for now. In short, Ding Yang and I were busy all night that day, and finally we came to the conclusion I wanted.
The conclusion is that the murderer in this case is indeed someone else, and the whole case is basically consistent with my previous vague guess!
Ding Yang is a very humble young man, and he is also the third person from the special case team that I have met. I originally thought that everyone in the special case team was as serious as Bai Qi and Lin Yingxue, but I didn’t expect that Ding Yang also had his lovely side.
After a busy night, Ding Yang and I returned to our home to rest. The next morning, I received a call from Xiao Zhang. The case was solved and he was the biggest contributor. He also got the vacation he wanted and now invited me to his house for dinner and drinks.
I asked Xiao Zhang if I could take Ding Yang and Zhang Qishan with me, and he readily agreed. So I called Zhang Qishan again, and she said she would pack up and take Diandian with her. By the way, last night Ding Yang and I were busy until very late, so I temporarily left Diandian in the care of Zhang Qishan.
Soon, Ding Yang and I arrived at the gate of Xiao Zhang's community. I took a look and found that this community was not very high-end, with a total of six floors. The geographical location was not very good, and the advertising column downstairs was full of rental advertisements. It seemed that most of the people living here were outsiders who rented the houses.
Xiao Zhang lives on the sixth floor. Ding Yang and I arrived at Xiao Zhang's door. Xiao Zhang immediately opened the door and welcomed us in with a smile.
On weekdays, Xiao Zhang wears police uniform, but now he has changed into casual clothes. He looks a lot younger and more handsome. I looked at Xiao Zhang's home carefully and found that it is no different from my home. Be it the size of the house or the simple furniture, it seems that this is also a cheap rental house.
"Come in and sit down. I've ordered takeout. It should be here soon."
Xiao Zhang invited us to the sofa in the living room, took out a few cans of beer from the refrigerator, opened them, and chatted with us while drinking.
I took the beer in front of me and took a few gulps. The cold beer was like a cold current, making me feel extremely cool all over. I also took advantage of this energy to look up and say to Xiao Zhang: "Why do you want to order takeout? Wouldn't it be better if you cooked for us yourself?"
Xiao Zhang laughed and said, "What are you cooking for? You know I can't cook at all."
"Really? Then why are there so many pots and pans in your kitchen?"
I am a genuine single guy who can't cook. When Zhang Qishan was cooking for me yesterday, he had to go out to buy some pots, pans, seasonings and dishes. However, I found a lot of cleaned pots, pans, and seasonings in Xiao Zhang's kitchen, proving that Xiao Zhang usually cooks for himself.
After hearing what I said, Xiao Zhang was stunned at first, then he laughed and said, "Oh, you found me. Don't you think it's bad for me to eat outside food all the time when I'm alone outside? I'm learning how to cook these days, and the food I cook is really unpalatable. I can't invite you in and let you eat these unpalatable things, right?"
Looking at Xiao Zhang's harmless smile, the smile on my face gradually faded, and my expression became serious when I looked at Xiao Zhang. I said, "If I'm not mistaken, you called me here today because you actually have something else, right?"
After hearing this, Xiao Zhang slowly put down the beer bottle in his hand, and then smiled and said, "I just want to ask you, what exactly did you plan to do when you secretly collected my hair yesterday?"
Yesterday afternoon, when Xiao Zhang, Officer Zhang Qishan and I were preparing to go to his home for questioning, I took the opportunity to quietly collect the hair that had fallen from Xiao Zhang's shoulders while we were chatting, and carefully wrapped it in a tissue and hid it. I originally thought that I had done this matter perfectly, but who knew that Xiao Zhang would still find out.
Since the other party has already discovered it, I didn't hide it any more. I turned around and pointed at Ding Yang who was sitting next to me and said, "I almost forgot to introduce you to this friend. His name is Ding Yang, and he's a professional forensic doctor in the special case team."
Ding Yang changed his attitude at this time, looked at Xiao Zhang coldly and said: "Hello, although you are my colleague, but what you did, I feel that it is a great insult to the sacred profession of forensic medicine."
Xiao Zhang ignored Ding Yang and kept staring at me and asked, "Ji Wen, what do you mean?"
"It's nothing, I just suspected you a long time ago, but I didn't have any evidence, so I asked Ding Yang for help. Xiao Zhang, you must be Xiao Mei's boyfriend!"
That's right, Ding Yang is the forensic doctor I asked Bai Qi to send to support me! A long time ago, I always had an awkward feeling in my heart. I didn't figure out what was going on until I talked to Xiaomei's father. I realized that this awkward feeling was that I had been led by the nose!
Because this case is very special, neither the body of the deceased nor the way of death are something that ordinary people like me can understand, so in this case, the forensic doctor becomes the person with the most say. In other words, no matter what forensic doctor Xiao Zhang says, we will believe it unconditionally, even if he is deliberately misleading us!
Overall, this case is very bizarre from any perspective, but behind this bizarreness, there is a feeling of smoothness, as if we can foresee the occurrence of events in advance. I didn’t understand what was going on before, but in the end I realized that all this was due to Xiao Zhang’s guidance.
When Xiaomei's body was first discovered, Xiao Zhang pointed the finger at the skilled surgeon. Later, we found human brain tofu pudding in Xiaomei's kitchen. Xiao Zhang then said that there was a second victim in this case. However, when we found the identity information of the butcher Wang Dong and were ready to arrest him, Wang Dong happened to be dead. At that time, I thought that perhaps someone knew our next move and killed Wang Dong in advance to silence him. However, Officer Yang denied this statement at the time, so I did not pursue it further.
Ding Yang said at this time: "I have carefully compared and tested it. In fact, the bowl of tofu pudding is just an ordinary bowl of tofu pudding. It is not made of human brain. And the time of death of the deceased Wang Dong is not in the early morning, but at noon!"
That's right, according to what Xiao Zhang said when we found Wang Dong's body hidden under the bed of the deceased Xiaomei, the time of death of the deceased Wang Dong was before we entered Xiaomei's house, which was early in the morning. If this is the case, it is easy for us to connect Wang Dong's death with the back figure I saw and the bowl of steaming human brain tofu pudding, and we will also freeze the time point before the police entered Xiaomei's house, and check the surveillance video will focus on this time period. In this way, Xiao Zhang can hide the fact of how he brought Wang Dong into Xiaomei's house.
Later, we went to arrest Wang Dong. The sweet and sour spare ribs we found in Wang Dong's home were just ordinary sweet and sour spare ribs after being tested by Ding Yang. The reason why Xiao Zhang said that they were made with Wang Dong's ingredients was actually just to cause panic and make us pay attention to the case.
Causing panic has two benefits for Xiao Zhang. First, if the case causes panic in society, the police must do their best to solve the case, and the shorter the time to solve the case, the better. This will pave the way for Xiao Zhang to frame others later. Once someone pleads guilty, even if the person who pleads guilty may not be the real murderer, the police will consider the case solved and give the public an explanation.
Second, after the panic, everyone's attention will turn to the two dishes. Xiao Zhang only needs to claim that he can't cook, and no one will suspect Xiao Zhang. Moreover, Xiao Zhang is also the forensic doctor of the police station, so whatever he says is what it is.
But Xiao Zhang didn't know that. At that time, I began to doubt his words. I also knew that this technique was not only performed by surgeons, but also by a skilled forensic doctor!
