I thought about the time and place where the hammer appeared, and asked: "It was a coincidence that Xu Hai discovered the hammer. What if Xu Hai couldn't find it?"
Wen Xin answered me: "Wang Yu's house is on the roadside. Judging from the location you just mentioned, it will be a matter of time before dawn when he is discovered. Xu Hai just inadvertently helped the murderer and advanced the discovery time.
The time for the murderer to kill Feng Rong was also advanced one night."
I understood what Wen Xin meant: "So, the murderer was clever but was mistaken this time. We just completely eliminated Xu Tao's suspicion and narrowed the scope of the investigation."
Wen Xin said: "But the investigation of Xu Tao cannot be relaxed. Judging from the current situation of the three deceased people, the murderer killed them based on a strong sense of justice in his heart. He can't stand such duplicitous people, and he
If Xu Tao is deliberately framed here, either Xu Tao is also a person who lives under a mask, or the murderer has great resentment towards Xu Tao. Investigating Xu Tao will help us identify the murderer."
Crazy Brother blew out a puff of smoke and said: "In terms of sense of justice, among the current suspects, Boss Li, who has served as a special soldier, should be the biggest. His identity as a special soldier is consistent with the murderer's neatness when killing people."
Jiang Zi agreed: "Yes, he also has an old grudge with Xu Tao. He has a strong motive for framing, and his relationship with Lu Yushan is also unusual. It is not surprising to say that he knows Lu Yushan's secrets and what books he likes to read."
Wen Xin said: "Yes, we should pay more attention to this person next, but there is another person who we cannot let down our guard against."
"Who?" I asked immediately.
Wen Xin replied: "Chu Jianhua, Xu Tao once stole his money. Although he said he didn't care on the surface, he privately went to the police station to ask if Xu Tao could be dealt with. This shows that he actually still cares about this matter in his heart."
I thought for a while and said: "Both Lu Yushan and Rat are people in the factory. Rat still died in the factory. I'm afraid this will have a very bad impact on the lumber factory. As the director of the factory, Chu Jianhua will be affected."
It’s the biggest.”
Before Wen Xin could answer, Jiang Zi spoke: "Since this case is related to the murderer's 'sense of justice', it cannot be viewed in terms of interests."
Wen Xin continued: "Yes, and in the first case, Lu Yushan's personal belongings were lost, so we determined that the murderer's family was not well off and needed money, but in the second and third cases, the deceased was not a wealthy person.
There were no people and no property was missing at the scene, which shows that the murderer did not commit the crime for money. It can even be said that the property lost in the first case was deliberately taken away by the murderer to confuse our sight."
Old Mao said: "The murderer threw the murder weapon at Wang Yu's door. He obviously wanted to drag him in. We can check the people who have grudges against Wang Yu. Feng Rong's concubine is highly suspected!"
Crazy brother concluded: "What everyone is saying is, as I said last night, we need to broaden our horizons and not limit ourselves to one or two specific people. The murderer in this case is extremely cunning, and we must always be on guard against misleading him.
Our investigation direction!”
As soon as Crazy Brother finished speaking, the door was pushed open and colleagues from the branch came over, so we stopped the temporary meeting.
After the investigation was completed, the forensic doctor confirmed Madge's judgment. Feng Rong did die of suffocation. The time of death was between three and four in the morning. Trace personnel did not collect hair, fingerprints and other information. There were footprints on the ground, but there were no lines.
, it is speculated that the murderer put something like a bag outside his shoes, and the footprints are between the window and the bed. It seems that the murderer did enter and exit the room through the window.
We entered the room. There were two bedrooms in Feng Rong's family. The window of the second bedroom faced the street. The master bedroom where the couple slept faced the street. There was a vegetable patch below. There were no protective bars on the windows and there were no pipes for climbing on both sides.
, trace personnel checked the window sill, and there were no traces left by the grapple.
"How did the murderer get here?" Wen Xin looked at the window and said thoughtfully.
I stretched my head and looked out. The window was seven or eight meters above the ground. I looked down and saw that two tracers were already investigating the vegetable field.
One of them was squatting on the ground, staring at something. After looking for a while, he raised his head and said to the other person: "Come and take a look here."
The two of them squatted on the ground and watched for a while, then stood up and looked up at the window, as if they were weighing something. After that, one of them shouted to us: "We found something!"
Hearing this voice, we all felt happy, thinking that the murderer had left some important clues, and hurriedly went downstairs.
Next to the vegetable patch behind Feng Rong's house, a trace inspection officer told us that there were several footprints found in the vegetable patch, which were also without traces. However, there were two small pits under Feng Rong's window. The small pits were originally
It was covered by some soil. The trace inspection personnel saw that the soil here was looser than other places, so they opened it to take a look and discovered them.
The distance between the two pits is about 70 centimeters, and a ladder should have been placed here.
Ladder? It turns out that the murderer climbed up using a ladder!
Crazy Brother looked around and pondered: "Is it possible that the murderer came here carrying a ladder, and then left carrying the ladder after committing the crime?"
The trace inspection personnel continued: "The place where the ladder was pressed was relatively heavy. We cleaned up the loose soil in the pit. Judging from the shape of the two pits, it was a common wooden ladder in rural areas. According to the height of the building of the deceased's house,
And judging from the angle of the ladder's inclination, the wooden ladder is nearly ten meters long and is not light in weight. It would be very laborious for the murderer to carry it, and the target is too large and easy to be discovered."
When Wen Xin heard this, she said to Crazy Brother: "The murderer probably hid the ladder nearby. I'll go look for it."
Except for the pit left by the ladder, there was nothing else found in the vegetable field. When we returned to the house, there were more people watching than before. The director yelled, telling everyone to do what they were supposed to do and not to interfere here.
When handling a case, he would go on and on, and half of the people would be gone.
I saw Pan Xingbang among the remaining people. His expression seemed a little bad. When he saw me staring at him, he smiled. I walked up and asked, "Why did Director Pan arrive in town so early?"
Pan Xingbang adjusted his glasses and replied with a smile: "I stayed in the factory last night."
I was very confused: "Live in a factory?"
"Yes, I came back with my brother-in-law last night, Wang Yu drove the car."
After hearing this, I was even more surprised. Even Chu Jianhua was back. What was going on?
Pan Xingbang immediately cleared up my doubts: "My brother-in-law said that rats died in the dormitory, and the workers were no longer willing to be on duty. But there is still a lot of wood in the factory, and no one can guard it. So he asked me to accompany two workers last night."
Watch together."
"Then why did he come back?" I asked.
"He..." Pan Xingbang hesitated, and finally said: "Two people died in the factory, and he is worried about it, fearing that something will go wrong again."
I looked at him and wondered in my mind, Feng Rong died last night, and Pan Xingbang and Chu Jianhua happened to be in Qingshan Town. Is this just a coincidence?
