The blue cloth strips scattered at the murder scene are likely to be torn pieces of the jacket during the murderer's attack on the deceased. From this, it was deduced that the coat should belong to the deceased, so I confirmed an extremely important question to Ah Guang: "Is it Mai Qinghe wearing the blue coat or the one who took him away?"
"Mai was wearing a black coat at the time, and the person who took him was wearing blue." Ah Guang answered with great certainty.
The information provided by Aguang made the case more complicated and confusing. Judging by the method of murder, the murderer of Mai Qinghe and Fang Shu should be the same person. And the murderer who killed Fang Shu has been determined to be Shen Tingyue, Mai Qinghe will tremble just hearing her name, it is impossible to follow her to a secluded place.
Is there an accomplice
Just when I was wondering about this, the phone suddenly rang, and it was Yuetong's call.
After the call was connected, I eagerly asked, "Anything new?"
"Actually, it's not a new discovery, it's just confirmed one thing."
"What's the matter?" I was slightly disappointed that there was no new discovery, but I was eager to know what she had confirmed.
"When I found the wallet in the creek just now, I felt strange. The creek was not far from the murder scene, nor was it close, so why did the murderer leave the wallet in the creek and not somewhere else. Now I finally understand It's over..." Yuetong was silent for a while, and then a confident voice came from the handset again, "The reason why the murderer threw his wallet into the stream was because he used the stream to wash off the fingerprints on the wallet."
"Could it be that the murderer dropped his wallet into the stream to cover up the traces of washing?"
"It's almost certain, but unfortunately he went overboard and washed the wallet with not only stream water but also weeds, leaving tiny scratches on the surface of the wallet."
I suddenly felt dizzy. It seemed that my previous judgment was wrong. If the murderer was Shen Tingyue, who had turned into a zombie, there was no need to remove the fingerprints from the wallet. The murderer did this for only one reason: "The murderer is someone close to the deceased!"
"And there is something in the wallet that the murderer must get." Yuetong added.
"What does a murderer need? Not only cash, credit cards, VIP cards, student IDs, etc. in the wallet, I can't think of anything worth risking criminal evidence to get, unless the murderer is just a The little thief seeking money." My thoughts began to get confused.
Yue Tong said, "I'll leave this question to you to scratch your head. I'll just look for clues on the evidence."
While distressed, the image of Xu Zixuan shaking slightly in the cool wind suddenly flashed into his mind, so he asked, "Have you checked the blue cloth strip at the murder scene?"
"These rags are in front of me, what do you think?"
"I suspect it is the killer's clothes."
"Wait..." Yue Tong seemed to start working immediately.
After a while, she exclaimed from the receiver: "There is really a problem. I always thought it was the clothes of the deceased, so I didn't pay much attention."
"What did you find?"
"The blood was splashed onto the surface of the clothes from the outside, rather than seeping out from the inside. That is to say, when the murder happened, the clothes were worn on the murderer's body."
I already know who the murderer of Mai Qinghe is, but I also confirm one thing. After hanging up Yuetong's call, I immediately called Li Nian.
As soon as the phone was connected, there was a voice of fleeting anxiety: "I was about to call you. You come to the forensic doctor now, and I want to show you something."
"Have you found anything?"
"Come here and talk."
After hanging up the phone, Zhen Zhen and I immediately rushed to the forensic department, Liu Nian was waiting for us at the door of the autopsy room, judging from his anxious expression, he should have discovered something very scary.
As soon as we walked in front of Liu Nian, he said impatiently, "Isn't it the same murderer who killed the two dead?"
"How do you see it?"
"I just compared the bite wounds on the two deceased people and found that the shapes of the wounds are obviously different. The wounds on Fang Shu's body, judging from the diameter and the marks left by the teeth, were caused by adult women; and Mai Qinghe The wounds on the body were obviously left by adult males."
"I think who I have killed Mai Qinghe." I told him what I knew.
"The identity of the murderer cannot be determined based on the fragments of a coat alone. At least you haven't been able to identify the owner of the coat, the one you deduced."
"I have my own way of finding evidence."
The new evidence overturns my previous assumption that the murderer of Mai Qinghe was not Shen Tingyue. Although the murderer deliberately set up a puzzle, I already knew who he was.
Mai Qinghe once said that he doesn't have many friends in the Academy of Fine Arts, and those who can gain his trust and let him voluntarily follow each other to remote places are even more rare. Except for the three people who went to KTV with him last night, there should be none. the fourth. According to the information provided by Aguang, the suspect was wearing a blue jacket last night, and this jacket is obviously a blue cloth strip that has been torn to pieces and scattered at the murder scene.
After the murder, the murderer found that the coat was covered with the blood of the deceased, so he tore the coat into pieces, disguised it as the deceased's coat and scattered it at the murder scene in an attempt to get away with it.
If the above assumptions are true, then the murderer is Xu Zixuan who only wears a thin shirt in this cool season!
However, even though I can make reasonable assumptions for many questions, there is one thing I still can't figure out, and that is why Xu Zixuan possesses the power of a beast. Did he also become a zombie? Or maybe he has some unknown relationship with Shen Tingyue and gets some kind of power from each other
No matter what, he and Shen Tingyue are definitely inseparable. Fortunately, these questions are not important, anyway, if he is brought back to the bureau, there is always a way to get him to speak. The top priority is how to get him back.
Although Zhen Zhen is the champion of Sanda, but the murderer can brutally kill Mai Qinghe with bare hands, she may not have absolute certainty to subdue the opponent. Therefore, I called the boss and asked him to send Xueqing over to help. Xueqing has a gun, and it will be safer to go with her.
Xu Zixuan stayed up all night last night, so he probably didn't go to the Academy of Fine Arts today. Therefore, after meeting Xueqing, I called A Yang and asked him where Xu Zixuan lived. When his subordinates took Xu Zixuan's records this morning, they should have registered their domicile and other information.
"Do you want his address? Wait a minute." There was a brief sound of rummaging through documents, "I found it, he lives in Tangzai Village..."
Although most of the students of the Academy of Fine Arts who rented houses outside the hospital lived in Tangzai Village, when I heard the expected address, I hesitated for a moment, because I suddenly thought of the ghostly figure that appeared in the Chen's cemetery. If that figure is Shen Tingyue, does she deliberately lead us to Tangzai Village to suggest something to us? Could it have something to do with Xu Zixuan renting in Tangzai Village
Maybe there is another article in this matter, but no matter what, Xu Zixuan must be brought back first.
Tangzai Village is not big, so it didn't take us much time to find Xu Zixuan's place. This is a two-storey single building, not so much a rental house as it is a simple villa. Although it is a little old, the environment is very quiet, and there is a small garden in front of the house.
In my impression, when Zhen Zhen and I were chasing that ghostly figure, it seemed that we had passed by this house before being led into the narrow alley and thrown away.
At this time, the sky began to get dark, the lights on the second floor of the house were on, and a strong rhythm came from the room, there should be someone inside. However, I knocked on the door for a long time and no one opened it. Just as I was thinking about whether to break in, the door opened.
It was Liu Jinglan who opened the door for us. She looked a little embarrassed. She was only wearing a short skirt and cuteness, and two looming strawberries stood out on the slender cuteness, which showed that she was not wearing a bust.
Dressing casually at home is actually quite normal. The reason why she was embarrassed was because of her flushed face and slightly messy hair—whoever saw her like this would know what she was doing just now.
"I've already made it very clear this morning, is there anything else to ask?" Probably because the good thing was interrupted and she was in a bad mood, her tone was extremely impatient.
"It's nothing, I just want to confirm with you some details." I squeezed a friendly expression, "What color coat did you wear last night?"
"Green." Faced with my boring question, she seemed even more impatient and complained, "Didn't you see it this morning? I didn't sleep all night last night, I finally got some sleep, and then you guys came knocking on the door."
It had been nearly eight hours since the morning, and if she just slept, it should be enough. She just said this to hide that she was going through the storm with Ailang just now, so as not to be embarrassed.
At this moment, Xu Zixuan's voice came from the house, "Lan Lan, who is it? Why are you still here?"
"I'll be here soon." She turned around and agreed, and said impatiently, "We've got something to do. If there's nothing special, don't bother us, okay?" She wanted to close the door after she finished speaking.
I stretched my foot against the door, and said to her through the crack, "I'll leave if I ask one more thing."
"Ask, we have something else to do."
Xu Zixuan's urging obviously made her anxious, which was a good thing for me, so I seized the opportunity to ask, "What color coat did Xu Zixuan wear last night?"
"blue."
She wanted to close the door when she finished speaking, but I wouldn't let her do that, pushing the door a little harder. She took a step back, glared at me with wide Xingyan eyes and shouted, "What do you want! Don't think that you are a policeman and you can mess around. Zixuan's parents and I are both well-rounded people, not you little guys. You can make a fool of yourself!"
"After I take your boyfriend back, you can say this to the director!" I lit a cigarette leisurely.
She was stunned for a moment, and then called out: "What do you mean! Zi Xuan is not against the law, why did you arrest him?"
I exhaled and gave her a smile: "It's not based on what you just said."
"You stop bluffing, I didn't say anything just now."
"Blue, you just said that Xu Zixuan wore a blue jacket last night, but this morning I saw him wearing only a white shirt. Where is his jacket?"
"His coat was in my handbag..." She glanced at the handbag on the sofa.
I walked uninvited into the living room, went straight to the sofa, picked up my handbag, and asked her, "Do you mind if I take a look inside?"
"The coat has been taken out, not in the handbag." She looked a little anxious.
It's no surprise that there's no coat in the bag, and there's no room for a man's coat in this palm-sized bag. However, I accidentally found one thing in my handbag.
I took out a headshot from my handbag. It was a photo of her and Xu Zixuan. I took out her purse again, and found that there was also one in the purse, so I asked her, "How do you explain it?"
"What is there to explain, I don't know what you're talking about." She turned her head and ignored me.
At this time, Xu Zixuan, who was only wearing shorts, came down from the second floor and asked irritably, "What happened?"
As soon as the suspect appeared, Zhen Zhen and Xueqing immediately guarded my side vigilantly, and prepared for emergency. I gave them a wink and motioned them not to startle the snakes first, then I held the wallet and the mugshot at Xu Zixuan, and pretended to laugh easily: "It's nothing, I just want you to explain why there are two mugshots. "
"What's the matter with two?" He seemed very dissatisfied with our presence, his tone full of anger. This is also human nature. When someone interrupts you when you are lingering, everyone will be angry.
"This morning, you said that there are only two headshots, and one of them was in your wallet. The murderer who killed Mai Qinghe took it along with the other items in the wallet..." I paused and continued. : "Then, now one of them should belong to the murderer."
He was stunned for a moment, and then forced himself to say calmly: "What's so strange about this, we copied one!"
"Well, in theory, one can be copied. However, copying a photo requires special equipment, which is only available in large photoshops. I've never heard of a large photoshop opening nearby."
"We went to COPY in the city in the morning, and we still have time to sleep when we come back!" Although he seemed plausible, he was obviously not confident enough.
"It is indeed enough time to copy, but unfortunately a photo is not copied."
The mugshots are taken continuously, and while they look very similar, with a little attention you can spot the subtle differences between the two. I put the two headshots together and pointed out that the expressions of the two of them have changed slightly in the two pictures.
"Even if this headshot is my original one, what does that mean? It's my own thing anyway. I can put it wherever I like. Do I still need to explain it to you?" He was still making up his own words.
"Okay, just when you took out the mugshot in your wallet before, then explain to me why there is your skin tissue on the blue coat fragment found in the murder case?" Although Yuetong has not yet I had time to test the coat fragments, but Liu Jinglan had just confirmed that Xu Zixuan was wearing a blue coat last night.
Sure enough, he was fooled by me, and even stuttered a little: "Then, I borrowed wheat to wear that coat, so what's so strange about my dander."
"If you lent it to the deceased, why didn't you tell the police about it?"
"I forgot."
"Oh, then do you still remember that Mai Qinghe wore a black coat last night? He also wore a coat, why did he borrow your coat?"
He was at a loss for words, not knowing how to respond. I spent so much time trying to get him to admit that the pieces of the jacket now belonged to him. Now that I have enough reasons to arrest him, I smiled at him and said, "Someone saw you in a blue jacket last night, Take Mai Qinghe in a black coat to the murder scene, what's your explanation now?"
He looked at me in astonishment, his eyes full of surprise. After a moment of stunnedness, he suddenly yelled, "You fucking framed me!" After that, he picked up the landline phone beside him and threw it at me...
