Of course, it is useless to think about these things now. The autopsy report from Song Anchun came out. According to the bone age test, the deceased was a woman in her thirties.
"A woman in her thirties? Didn't that girl say she was her sister?"
Chen Bai was a little confused, but he couldn't ask until the girl in the hospital woke up.
"Chen Bai, where should we start investigating now?"
Chen Bai thought for a while, and based on the current situation, he probably could only start the investigation from the direction of home invasion and robbery.
"By the way, how is the investigation of that girl's social information going?"
"Zhou Ping, female, 28 years old, is a nurse at the Third Hospital. Because her younger brother is hospitalized in the hospital where she is, Zhou Ping hired a nurse to take care of her sister. If the woman at the scene is not wrong, she
It should be the nurse."
Speaking of this, Chen Bai remembered something again.
"By the way, the girl kept saying that her sister hasn't come out yet, but we didn't see her sister at the scene. According to our investigation, her sister has myeloid leukemia. This kind of person has limited mobility and needs a wheelchair.
, if it really caught on fire, she would definitely not be able to escape, but we did not find the girl’s body at the scene, which means that she..."
Before Chen Bai finished speaking, he received a call from Feng Qianqian saying that Zhou Ping was awake in the hospital.
"Okay, I'll be there soon."
After Chen Bai arrived at the hospital, he immediately told Zhou Ping that her sister was not at the scene of the fire. The person who died was their caregiver.
"What? Something happened to Aunt Liu!"
Zhou Ping covered her face, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.
"Zhou Ping, where would your sister be if she wasn't at home?"
"Comrade police, this is something I can't figure out right now. Because my sister can't go out, she has very few friends online, so it's impossible for my sister to go out. Also, you saw that old-fashioned staircase.
, it would be impossible for my sister to go out without Aunt Liu taking her."
Chen Bai nodded, but if that was the case, then something would be even more wrong. Did a person with disabled legs escape from the fire, or was she not at home at all when the fire broke out?
"Jingle Bell!"
At this moment, Zhou Ping's cell phone rang. Zhou Ping picked up the phone and listened to a few words and immediately said emotionally.
"Who are you? What do you want to do to my sister?"
Chen Bai and Feng Qianqian looked at each other and immediately signaled Zhou Ping to turn on the speaker.
"You don't need to worry about who I am, you just need to know that your sister is in my hands now. If you don't want anything to happen to your sister, prepare one million for me. I will call you to inform you of the time and place."
Chen Bai heard that the voice on the other side was obviously using a voice changer, but the other side hung up the phone before Zhou Ping could speak.
"Comrade police, I..."
"Don't worry, we'll leave this matter to us."
Because Zhou Ping was fine, she was discharged from the hospital soon. The police rented a room in a nearby hotel for the convenience of monitoring.
"Mu Bai, I'll give you a hard time this time. We still have to investigate the case, so we can't monitor it at any time."
"What are you talking about! You helped us a lot, these are just small things."
Mu Bai can protect Zhou Ping and Chen Bai is relieved, but if he wants to know what is going on in this case, he still needs to re-examine the scene.
"Chen Bai, do you think this was a man-made fire or an accident?"
Wu Di was a little confused. At first, Wu Di thought it was because he forgot to turn off the gas in the kitchen after the nurse was killed. But now it seems that the result is not like this.
"Not sure, but we can see where the fire started."
Chen Bai knew that only by finding the origin of the fire could he know what was going on.
"Wu Di, come and take a look at this!"
Chen Bai called Wu Di, who was looking for the origin of the fire in the kitchen, and pointed to the bedside table in the bedroom.
"Wu Di, look, if I guessed correctly, the fire point should be here."
Wu Di lowered his head and looked carefully at the burning marks on the bedside table.
"That's right, the best way to identify the location of the fire is to see where it burned the most. The bedside table has been burned white. Something on the bedside table should have caused the fire, and then ignited the mattress in the bedroom. In the end, the whole bedside table was burned white.
The whole house was set on fire, but what could be on the bedside table that could cause such a huge fire?"
Just when Chen Bai was thinking, Song Anchun called.
"Chen Bai, I conducted an in-depth autopsy on the deceased. The cause of death was not excessive blood loss or being burned to death. The real cause of death was electrocution."
"Electrocuted to death?"
Chen Bai was a little confused. Did the deceased touch some high-voltage wire? But looking at the place where the deceased fell to the ground, it didn't look like there was a high-voltage wire!
"Yes, I checked that the deceased met all the factors that caused death by electric shock. I can be 100% sure of this."
"okay, I get it."
After Chen Bai hung up the phone, Wu Di also asked with some confusion.
"The deceased was electrocuted? What on earth could electrocute the deceased?"
"Hey? What is this?"
At this time, Chen Bai found a plastic shell with wire coils wrapped around it on the bedroom floor. The shell had been burned due to the fire. However, the copper ring on the inside remained. Wu Di removed the thing on the ground.
Picked it up and put it in the evidence bag.
"From the scene, it seems that the deceased was stabbed at the door and then hit in the head by the trophy. But in fact, the deceased was not dead at that time. After the girl in the house was taken away, the deceased woke up.
After I climbed here, I was electrocuted to death for some unknown reason."
Since they still don’t know what’s inside, Chen Bai and Wu Di can only take what they found back to the police station first.
"Chen Bai, I have the latest discovery here."
Chen Bai put down the instant noodles in his hand and took the autopsy report from Song Anchun.
"The dagger we found at the scene had blood stains from two people, but not from the deceased in the house. And I found that the blood stains on the dagger were related to each other."
"oh?"
Hearing Song Anchun's words, Chen Bai was a little surprised, because according to their investigation, Zhou Ping's younger brother was in the hospital, so only Zhou Ping's father, Zhou Muzhi, could be present at that time.
"How long has it been since you and your father saw each other?"
Chen Bai immediately found Zhou Ping after learning the news, but the kidnapper didn't even call.
"How many years has it been? Officer, why do you ask?"
Zhou Ping was a little confused, but Chen Bai thought about it for a moment and said this.
"That's right. In fact, I think it is necessary to let you know that we found a dagger at the scene. The two blood stains on the dagger are related. We speculate that the person who kidnapped your sister may be your father."
After Chen Bai finished speaking, Zhou Ping showed an expression of disbelief.
"This...this can't be true."
"Zhou Ping, I also hope that this cannot be true, but there are various signs that this is probably the truth. Did you hide something just now?"
Zhou Ping bit her lip and lowered her head without speaking. Chen Bai was not in a hurry and just waited quietly for Zhou Ping to speak.
"Officer, in fact, these are our housework, and we shouldn't trouble you. But since that man can do such a thing, I won't hide it. Yes, I did see me half a year ago.
Father, this guy wanted to borrow money from us after he found us, but we were in trouble at that time so we ignored him. Comrade police, that bastard must have known that there were caring people who donated money to us, so he did such a thing."
Chen Bai nodded, it seemed that this explanation was the most reasonable now.
"By the way, I want to ask you, is the room on the left when you enter the door yours or your sister's?"
"My, what's wrong?"
Chen Bai thought for a while, took out his phone and pulled out a photo and asked.
"Then if that's the case, I want to ask you, what exactly is this thing?"
Zhou Ping looked at it carefully for a long time and asked with some doubts.
"Comrade police, I can't see clearly what's on it. Where did you find it?"
"Right next to your bedside table in the house!"
Zhou Ping thought for a while and suddenly said as if she had a sudden enlightenment.
"If that's the case, I'll know what it is. The call bell is the call bell beside my bed. Aunt Liu is not always there 24 hours a day. Aunt Liu leaves after cooking every night, and she doesn't leave until the next day.
I don't come here until after seven in the morning. My sister has trouble walking and doesn't sleep in the same room as me, so I installed a call bell next to my bed so that if something really happens to my sister, I can know as soon as possible.
"
Chen Bai nodded, and at this time Wu Di also called.
"Chen Bai, I can confirm that this thing leaked electricity and electrocuted Zhou Ping's caregiver to death. Although I'm not sure now, judging from the wires wrapped in the copper ring, someone should have deliberately modified it.
Circuit, connect the live wire."
Chen Bai frowned. If this was the case, it would be intentional murder. But who in their family would do such a thing?
"Bang bang bang!"
Just at this moment, there was a knock on the hotel door, and a boy in his twenties opened the door and came in.
"Sorry, I forgot."
Zhou Ping was a little embarrassed. The boy was already a little confused about coming here, and now he was even more confused when he saw so many people in the room.
"Police officer, this is my friend Zhang Zhi. He is an online ride-hailing driver. Every time I take my sister to the hospital, I ask for his ride. Sometimes when it is inconvenient for me to go out to buy medicine, I ask him to take his ride.
He brought me medicine."
"Xiao Ping, I heard your house was on fire, are you okay?"
"fine....."
After all, Zhou Ping was still worried about her sister, so she didn't say much.
"By the way, where is my sister? Why didn't I see my sister?"
Zhang Zhi was a little confused. Chen Bai was about to leave, but suddenly he turned around and said as if he thought of something.
"Mu Bai, if the kidnappers call, you must contact us."
Back at the police station, Chen Bai immediately asked Li Huan to investigate the nearby road surveillance.
"Are you saying that the murderer didn't just act randomly, but that he had been planning for a long time? But the door has been broken into like that. If it was a long-term plan, then why not choose a better method?"
Li Huan was a little confused, but still started to inquire about road monitoring.
"Thank you for your hard work. This is a big project."
Just like this, two days passed in the blink of an eye. Chen Bai was a little confused as to why he hadn't received a call from the kidnapper until now? Could it be that Zhou Muzhi had other plans?
"Chen Bai, Zhou Muzhi just called and asked us to put the money in the third trash can in TEDA Plaza."
"good!"
For some reason, the time given by Zhou Muzhi allowed Zhou Ping to collect one million. Chen Bai left Li Huan, Bai Hongwei and Da Binzi Feng Qianqian to follow him.
"Don't worry, we have deployed manpower around him. As soon as he appears, we will arrest him immediately."
Zhou Ping nodded, but her body was still shaking.
"Don't be nervous. The more nervous you are, the easier it is to be exposed. We can't let him know that there are police around you, so you must calm down, okay?"
Zhou Ping nodded and calmed down under Chen Bai's persuasion.
"Go ahead! We're watching you!"
Zhou Ping got out of the car and placed the suitcase in her hand next to the trash can.
"Walk!"
Chen Bai waved his hand, Zhou Ping looked around and left quickly.
"Everyone, keep an eye on the person near that suitcase."
On the busy street, everyone turned a blind eye to the suitcase. After about ten minutes, a cleaner slowly walked towards the trash can. Everyone immediately became nervous. Chen Bai looked at the cleaner.
I wanted to open the suitcase, so I waved my hand and several policemen around me quickly rushed forward and held the cleaner down.
"You, who are you?"
The cleaner looked obviously a little nervous, but at this time Chen Bai and others thought they had caught Zhang Muzhi.
"Okay, stop struggling. Do you think you don't know who you are after doing this? I'm telling you, you should have thought of the consequences when you did something like this."
Chen Bai said as he picked up the suitcase next to him, but at this moment the suitcase fell apart and Chen Bai discovered that what was in the suitcase was just old newspapers.
"broken!"
Chen Bai suddenly realized something was wrong and quickly ran to Zhou Ping's car, but when he opened the door, he discovered that Zhou Ping was no longer there.
"Li Huan, check Zhou Ping's mobile phone. Where is she?"
Chen Bai was a little angry because Zhou Ping obviously didn't believe them and took the money to trade with Zhou Muzhi.
"Nanshan Park, she is in Nanshan Park now."
Chen Bai and others rushed to Nanshan Park. Looking at the mark on his mobile phone, Chen Bai knew that he was getting closer to Zhou Ping.
"Everyone, be careful. There are still hostages in Zhou Muzhi's hands. We don't want to be discovered."
Chen Bai led the people up slowly, and after just a few steps, he saw Zhou Ping lying on the ground covered in blood.
"Zhou Ping, Zhou Ping!"
Chen Bai quickly stepped forward, but at this time Zhou Ping was no longer breathing. Chen Bai saw that Zhou Ping had been stabbed in the lower back and there was a dagger thrown on the ground.
"How is this going?"
Bai Hongwei was a little anxious, and it was at this time that Chen Bai saw a trail of blood extending into the distance.
"Come with me!"
After Chen Bai finished speaking, he led his men to chase after him before he saw an old dilapidated house. As soon as he walked to the door, he heard a voice coming from upstairs.
"Help, help!"
Chen Bai quickly ran up to the second floor, and the blood stains extended all the way upstairs.
"Police, save me!"
Chen Bai saw a man with white hair holding a dagger on the neck of a girl in a wheelchair.
"Zhou Muzhi, that's your daughter!"
Bai Hongwei was a little anxious, but now none of them dared to step forward. Chen Bai saw the suitcase on the ground and looked at the blood stains extending there. He guessed that Zhou Muzhi and Zhou Ping had probably had a fight.
Zhou Muzhi was probably injured.
"I know, but if I don't pay back the money I owe, it's really going to happen. Let me go, otherwise I don't know what I will do."
Zhou Muzhi's eyes were blood red, and Bai Hongwei and others held their guns and didn't know what to do for a while.
"Zhou Muzhi, please calm down first. We have something to discuss."
Chen Bai walked forward as he spoke, took out a cigarette and lit it.
"What are you discussing? If you don't make way for me, we will die together!"
The dagger in Zhou Muzhi's hand scratched a bloody mark on the girl's neck. The girl looked too scared to move in the wheelchair.
"Zhou Muzhi, when you abandoned your family because your child was sick, do you know how difficult it was for your daughter to be alone with her younger siblings? Now you actually want to use the money spent on your son and daughter's medical treatment to repay what you owe yourself
With the debt, are you still a human being?"
Chen Bai's tone was cold, but Zhou Muzhi couldn't listen to anything at this time.
"I don't care. I can't care so much anymore. If I don't pay back the money, I will die. Get out of your way quickly, or I will be really rude."
Zhou Mu's eyes were red with blood and he might lose control at any time. Bai Hongwei felt regretful. If only he could have thought of this and found someone to ambush him from behind.
"Zhou Muzhi, your daughter is watching you from behind!"
Chen Bai's words stunned Zhou Muzhi. In this flash of lightning, Chen Bai popped out the cigarette butt in his hand. The cigarette butt shot toward Zhou Muzhi like a sharp arrow. The cigarette butt hit Zhou Muzhi's face, and Chen Bai also took the opportunity to rush towards him.
Zhou Muzhi, but at this moment a sudden change occurred. Zhou Muzhi didn't know why he couldn't stand still, and fell directly from the second floor.
"Help!"
But Zhou Muzhi was already bleeding and fell straight down from the second floor, killing Zhou Muzhi on the spot.
"Don't be afraid, we are the police and you are fine."
Chen Bai looked at the little girl sitting in the wheelchair and comforted him, but for some reason, when Chen Bai saw the girl, he suddenly had the feeling that her fear just now was all faked.
"Uncle policeman, where is my sister?"
Faced with the girl's problem, Chen Bai didn't know what to say for a while.
"I'll take you to the hospital first! You don't have to worry here!"
After the girl was sent to the hospital, Chen Bai rubbed his temples. For some reason, Chen Bai always felt that this time things were not as simple as they seemed.
"Chen Bai, go back!"
"No, wait a minute!"
After Chen Bai finished speaking, he began to observe the surrounding environment.
"Teacher Chen, there is something I don't know whether I should say?"
