Chapter 18 I Know Who the Murderer Is
Starting over again made time suddenly become urgent.
Su Xiaoxiao was thinking about the case all night and couldn't fall asleep. She fell asleep in a daze just before dawn and had a nightmare.
She dreamed that she failed to find the murderer of Liu Lijuan in time. As the system prompt sounded, Aunt Su instantly became old, with white hair and criss-crossing wrinkles on her face.
She was awakened by this dream.
I arrived at the Municipal Bureau in the morning with dark circles under my eyes. When I entered the Criminal Investigation Team office, I found that everyone was already there.
Captain Qi was looking at the situation summary on the whiteboard and eating a bun in his hand.
There was a big bag of buns, as well as soy milk and fried dough sticks on the table next to her. When Xiao Zhang saw her come in, he handed her a cup of soy milk and told her to eat as much as she wanted.
Guo Zhongliang pointed to the picture on the whiteboard and introduced to everyone the current situation. Su Xiaoxiao quietly found a seat by the side and sat down.
After Zhao Quan was brought back yesterday, he was compared and it was found that his hand shape did not match the pinch marks on Liu Lijuan's neck, so he was ruled out as a suspect.
According to his account, he was in a hurry to pee and saw a van parked there and throwing something down from a distance.
He didn't take it seriously. People often threw unnecessary things at the ruins. After peeing, he went back to sleep.
The next day, he remembered this and went to look for anything useful. As a result, he found the body. He was very scared at the time and thought about calling the police, but when he saw her bag was new and thought it was valuable, he took it out of greed. Later, he found a second-hand store and sold it for a few hundred dollars.
He was afraid that others would find out that he couldn't explain himself clearly, so he thought about going back to his hometown for a few days and coming back after the matter was over.
Therefore, it can now be confirmed that Jingji Building is not the crime scene, but the scene where the body was dumped.
The search for the van also yielded results. They found the van in the South City area [Scene B], abandoned next to an abandoned parking lot.
They found out the owner of the van, his name was Chen Donglai, he was 42 years old and he opened a restaurant on Tuguo Street. His van was stolen the night before and he called the police the next morning when he found his van was missing.
There were no other fingerprints in the car except Chen Donglai's, but Chen Donglai was in the hospital taking care of a sick child that night and had no time to commit the crime.
That night his van was parked in the alley behind the store, and without surveillance, it was impossible to identify the thief.
The autopsy report of Liu Lijuan has come out. Her time of death was around 5 o'clock in the evening of May 26, with an error of no more than one hour. The cause of death was suffocation. Food residue was found in her stomach. She had eaten within three hours before her death.
In addition to the scars on the neck, there are also obvious injuries on the lower body, which were caused by the murderer using a stick or something similar. The method was rough and it was very likely that the murderer was venting his anger. The murderer either had a grudge against Liu Lijuan or was a psychopath.
After investigation, it was found that Liu Lijuan's social relations were relatively simple. She is 28 years old this year. After graduating from university, she found several jobs one after another, but she could not keep them for long. She married Gu Dacheng two years ago and has never worked outside since then.
Before Gu Dacheng, she had two boyfriends, one was Yang Jingtian and the other was Zhang Qiang.
I broke up with Yang Jingtian peacefully. Now Yang Jingtian is working in another place and not in Jingzhong City.
"As for Zhang Qiang, everyone knows him. He is a policeman from Liuliqiao Police Station." Guo Zhongliang said and glanced at Su Xiaoxiao. Only then did Su Xiaoxiao realize that Zhang Qiang did not come over.
Although their breakup was not pleasant, Zhang Qiang's suspicion can be ruled out because he was at home during that period of time, which can be confirmed by community surveillance.
Although the suspicion was ruled out, it was not suitable for him to continue to participate in the investigation of the case. Captain Qi said hello to Chief Chen and did not let him come today.
Liu Lijuan usually had a good relationship with her neighbors. There were no major conflicts between them, and there was no news of her having any major grudges against anyone. Therefore, the reason for her murder is still uncertain at present.
As for Liu Lijuan's husband Gu Dacheng, he behaved very strangely after Liu Lijuan disappeared, and his whereabouts were unknown that night. Community surveillance showed that he did not return home that night. Although he cannot be ruled out as a suspect now, it is unlikely that he committed murder.
We have already asked him to come over to cooperate with the investigation, and he should be here soon.
After listening to the report, Captain Qi thought for a while, "Liu Lijuan ate within three hours before her death, which means she got off the taxi. If the driver didn't lie, she got off near Tuguo Street, so she probably ate at a restaurant on Tuguo Street. Have you found this restaurant?"
Xiao Zhang raised his hand. "Captain Qi, I found out. It's a restaurant called Lai Yi Guo. The owner is Liu Chengdong. I just talked to the owner on the phone. The owner said that he knew Liu Lijuan and she used to eat there often.
That night, Liu Lijuan did come to his place. Seeing her rushing in, he asked her what happened. According to Liu Lijuan, she got a bad taxi driver who kept molesting her. She finally managed to escape and ran to his place.
He told her not to worry, gave her something to eat, and let her leave through the back door after she finished eating because she was afraid that the driver was still outside.
I have an appointment with the restaurant owner, who will come over to take a statement and check fingerprints at the same time."
"Did you check the driver's side?"
"Some team members have already gone to investigate, and there should be news soon."
[Meow, system reminder: There is still 1 day left in the mission countdown]
There is still one day left, and Su Xiaoxiao is very anxious. In fact, the criminal investigation team is investigating the case very quickly. They have found out so much information in just one night.
The team members worked overtime until very late yesterday. I heard that Captain Qi did not go home yesterday and just took a nap in the office.
But so far, there is no clear direction. Most people's suspicions have been ruled out. Although Gu Dacheng's suspicion has not been ruled out, she knows it should not be him.
When he came to the police station to pick up the child that morning, his clothes were wrinkled and there were faint suspicious marks on his neck. It was very likely that he had gone out to have an affair. He refused to say it because he didn't want to expose his affair, or because the woman's identity was not ordinary, so he couldn't say it.
Sure enough, after Gu Dacheng arrived, under the police's questioning, in order to clear his suspicion, he had no choice but to confess where he had been that night, but asked them to keep it confidential.
He did go there for a secret meeting that night. The woman was his boss, and they both told their families that they were on a business trip. If this matter was leaked, both of them would be finished, so he didn't dare to say anything.
Of course, Gu Dacheng’s fingerprints did not match the pinch marks on Liu Lijuan’s neck.
The driver also checked and found that he had no time to commit the crime, as he had been taking orders at night.
He is an old widower who likes to flirt with good-looking women. He has been complained about several times. In fact, he is just a bad-mouthed person.
Liu Lijuan was not going to Tuguo Street originally, but she asked to get off the car because she was scared by him.
He also got out of the car at that time. He didn't intend to do anything to her. In fact, he wanted to give her an umbrella because it was raining heavily. But she ran faster than a rabbit and didn't stop even when he called her.
The restaurant owner Liu Chengdong is a middle-aged man in his forties, slightly plump and looking quite cheerful. He said that he had known Liu Lijuan for many years and also knew her boyfriend Zhang Qiang. It was a pity that they did not end up together.
His fingerprints didn't match, and the case seemed to have reached a dead end.
The restaurant was the last place Liu Lijuan was seen. She left through the back door of the restaurant and could not be found again.
The stolen van was parked not far away. Could it be that Liu Lijuan happened to see the thief when she passed by the van, and the thief directly kidnapped her and took her away.
But if it was just an accident, it would be understandable that the thief killed her to silence her, but why did he injure her private parts? Or was it just a coincidence that the thief was just a pervert?
But there are not so many coincidences in this world.
Can a thief who no one has ever seen really exist? Can a person really disappear without a trace?
No, it's impossible. She never believed that there was a perfect crime in the world. Once it was done, there would always be traces left.
It was almost time to get off work, and she finally had some ideas.
She picked up the phone and called Zhang Qiang. There were some things she needed to ask him first.
After the call, I searched the Internet for some information, and then ran back to the whiteboard, staring at the photo of Liu Lijuan's body stuck on the whiteboard. Why didn't the fingerprints match? What went wrong?
After a long time, she suddenly slapped her head and wondered why she was so stupid. So this is what happened.
"What have you found?" Captain Qi stood in front of the whiteboard without him noticing.
"Captain Qi, I think I know who the murderer is!"
