Faced with a large amount of evidence, Jin Xiaoyue finally truthfully confessed to the murder of Liang Ting.
When his younger brother accidentally mentioned that Liang Ting's agent asked him to do modeling, Jin Xiaoyue, who was already depressed, remembered that he was rejected by Liang Ting and failed to enter the finals, and he suddenly became murderous.
She exchanged identities with her brother and asked him to cut off her long hair, dye it blond, put on some makeup, and put on shoes that would increase her height, so that she looked exactly like her brother.
On the day of the makeup trial, she went to see Liang Ting. She permed Liang Ting's hair while looking for opportunities. She discovered that Liang Ting liked to drink water from a thermos cup, and her agent also mentioned that this was Liang Ting's habit, so she thought of poisoning.
On the night of the concert, Liang Ting was about to perform on stage. When the makeup artist went out to get takeout, she sneaked into Liang Ting's lounge while there was no one in the west corridor and poured the poison into a thermos cup.
Jin Xiaoyue had no regrets when she confessed. Her face was very cold, as if she was telling someone else's story. Obviously, her psychology had been completely distorted. Yu Hanjiang could guess what she was thinking. Anyway, there was no hope for her life.
Liang Ting is not at a loss if she goes into the water.
After the case was concluded, Yu Hanjiang informed Xie Yuan of the news.
Xie Yuan came to the police station and happened to see the murderer Jin Xiaoyue who was handcuffed by the criminal police and was about to be taken into custody.
He walked over with a sullen face, clenched his fists and wanted to give the murderer a good beating, but was stopped by the criminal policeman next to him.
Xie Yuan took a deep breath, resisted the urge to beat this man to death, and let go of his hand. His eyes were about to split, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Jin Xiaoyue, you will definitely go to hell."
Jin Xiaoyue looked at him expressionlessly and was taken away by the police.
Yu Hanjiang looked at Xie Yuan and whispered: "The case has been revealed. Jin Xiaoyue will be sentenced to death for intentional homicide."
Xie Yuan shook hands with Yu Hanjiang and said, "Thank you for giving my wife justice. I will go back and arrange her funeral."
Yu Hanjiang asked: "In Lin Yiyan's case, do you have anything else to hide?"
Xie Yuan shook his head: "No, I have said everything that needs to be said. I hope the police can solve the case as soon as possible."
The man turned around and left with a very lonely figure. Xiao Lou sighed and said, "After this incident, he should feel very guilty, right? I hope he can become a good father and educate his two children well."
Yu Hanjiang said: "Yes. I will write the closing report in the afternoon. I will take a day off today and continue investigating Lin Yiyan's case tomorrow."
Xiao Lou agreed with Yu Hanjiang to take a day off. Currently, the investigation of Lin Yiyan's case was at a deadlock. It was time for them to calm down and reorganize the clues.
That night, Shao Qingge took the initiative to call Xiao Lou and said he wanted to treat him to dinner.
The four people in the crew couldn't leave, so Shao Qingge only invited Ye Qi, Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou. Ye Qi loves hot pot, and the cold winter is also suitable for eating something steaming, so the four of them came to a restaurant in the city
It's a beautifully decorated hot pot restaurant. I asked for a private room to chat while eating.
Ye Qi said with emotion: "The Liang Ting case is really surprising. I always thought the murderer was one of the five people in the girl group, but it turned out to be the hairstylist... Now that I think about it, the teacher Tony who styled me was quite kind.
.”
Shao Qingge chuckled and said, "The hairstylist who gave you the crown?"
Ye Qi looked at him awkwardly: "Mr. Shao, don't remember my most ugly hairstyle so clearly."
Shao Qingge continued to tease him: "What I remember most clearly is actually your women's clothing. Miss Ye's style is very beautiful."
Ye Qi: "..."
The two of them bickered as usual, but Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou simply ignored them and just immersed themselves in eating.
They have been so busy these days. Not only did Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou not sleep well, they also ordered takeout for lunch and dinner. Mr. Shao invited him to eat hot pot, and it was rare for them to take a break. Naturally, they couldn't treat their stomachs badly.
When he was almost full, Ye Qicai asked: "The next remaining case is Lin Yiyan's case. What do Captain Yu think?"
Yu Hanjiang said: "I'm wondering if this secret room also has a theme."
Ye Qi's eyes lit up and said: "The 3 of hearts is revenge, the 4 of hearts is a scumbag, the 8 of hearts is rebellion... What will it be this time? It shouldn't be about revenge again, right?"
Xiao Lou carefully analyzed: "Liang Ting's case is not revenge. In fact, Liang Ting and Jin Xiaoyue don't have much hatred. As a judge, Liang Ting gave her a red light out of fairness considerations, even if her words are a little bit venomous.
But the competition is so cruel. If someone advances, someone will be eliminated, and it cannot reach the level of deep hatred. It is Jin Xiaoyue's own psychological distortion, blaming Liang Ting for her failure in life."
Ye Qi nodded in agreement: "That's right. Is this case a murder case with a twisted psychology? In Lin Yiyan's case, the body was frozen in the bathtub with ice cubes. Does it seem like the murderer had a twisted psychology?"
Shao Qingge said with a smile: "Moreover, this murderer is smarter than Jin Xiaoyue and did not leave any evidence."
The reason why the Liang Ting case was easy to solve was because the scope of suspects was limited. Liang Ting was poisoned after drinking water, and the only people who could poison were those at the scene. The time, place, and motive of the crime were eliminated one by one.
, the last remaining one is naturally the most suspected murderer.
No one expected that Jin Xiaoyue "disguised herself as a man", but Yu Hanjiang deduced that she was the most likely to commit the crime, cleverly checked her fingerprints, and immediately revealed the truth of the case.
The difficulty of Lin Yiyan's case is that the murderer cannot be identified.
It was impossible to find out who was in her villa between 3:30 and 4:00 in the morning on the day of the crime, and who finally drove away her car.
Ye Qi's imagination was wide open and he asked: "Could it be that Liang Ting knew about Lin Yiyan's one-night affair with her husband. Liang Ting, who was severely mysophobic, couldn't bear this and killed Lin Yiyan in revenge? Now, Liang Ting is also dead.
We can't find the murderer to prove it?"
Yu Hanjiang said: "We have also considered the possibility you mentioned. I will check it tomorrow, but it is unlikely."
Xiao Loudao: "According to Ye Lan, at the film festival award ceremony, Liang Ting smelled Lin Yiyan's unique perfume and knew that she had a one-night stand with her husband, so she smoked Lin Yiyan in the backstage lounge.
He slapped her several times. Liang Ting is a straightforward person. Since she has slapped her several times to vent her anger, she should not be planning to kill him again half a year later."
Yu Hanjiang glanced at Xiao Lou and nodded in agreement: "It can also be seen from the talent show that Liang Ting is not the kind of scheming person. As long as she is more scheming and knows how to smooth things over tactfully, she will not offend Jin Xiaoyue and attract trouble.
A fatal disaster."
The agent's description also mentioned that Liang Ting has a straight temper, is straightforward and speaks the truth.
It is difficult for such a person to suppress his anger in his heart for more than half a year, and then carefully plan a murder, directly backstage without caring about the other person's face, and just slap him a few times, which is considered as venting his anger.
After listening to the two people's analysis, Ye Qi also felt that it was reasonable and said: "It seems that we still have to find the murderer slowly."
Shao Qingge said: "Leave it to Captain Yu. I will look for more clues about Lin Yiyan from the company's information later."
The four of them went home after dinner.
On the way back, Xiao Lou looked thoughtfully at the scenery outside the car window, with a very serious expression on his face. Yu Hanjiang knew that he was thinking about the case, so he did not disturb him and concentrated on driving.
I don't know how long it took, but Xiao Lou suddenly turned around and asked, "By the way, the most difficult part of Liang Ting's case is that Jin Xiaoyue disguised herself as a man, right?"
Yu Hanjiang nodded: "Well, if we hadn't thought of checking her fingerprints to confirm her true identity and investigating her as Jin Xiaoyong, our investigation would have reached a dead end. It would be difficult to find out what grudges there were between Jin Xiaoyong and Liang Ting, and it would be impossible to determine the motive for the crime.
"
Xiao Lou touched his chin and said, "It's impossible. The theme of this secret room... is actually a disguise?"
Yu Hanjiang's eyes narrowed slightly, and he suddenly thought of a possibility. He braked hard and stopped the car on the side of the road, and immediately called Qu Wanyue.
There was a loud noise coming from Qu Wanyue's side, it was obviously filming on the set.
She walked a few steps and came to a relatively quiet corner. She looked around and found no one else. Then she asked softly: "Captain Yu, what do you want from me? We are filming here."
Yu Hanjiang asked: "How is the situation of the crew these days?"
Qu Wanyue said: "It was pretty smooth. In the first two days, Cheng Yu couldn't get into the mood. He frequently forgot his words during the performance, and he did it many times. He was scolded by the director. I heard Liu Qiao said that the agent forced him to
Cheng Yu memorized his lines for most of the night. Later, his performance became much better. The director was quite satisfied with the recent scenes."
She paused and then said: "Everything is going well for Qiao Xuening. Her acting skills are very good. She has done many scenes in one go. She is much better than Cheng Yu, a little fresh meat. The director often praises her and makes Cheng Yu
Yu, please study more with Sister Xuening."
Yu Hanjiang asked: "Has her dance scene started filming?"
Qu Wanyue thought for a while and said: "According to the shooting schedule, the formal filming of her dancing scene should start the day after tomorrow. Lao Mo just set up the stage with the colleagues in the scene team today, because there are many dancing scenes, and the director meant to focus
After a few days of filming, the stage was dismantled."
Yu Hanjiang nodded and said, "Is her leg still okay?"
Qu Wanyue: "Recovering very well, she can also control the spinning movements I taught her."
Yu Hanjiang warned: "You continue to pay attention to her dancing. Xiao Lou and I will come to the set tomorrow."
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Lou couldn't help but ask: "Do you doubt Qiao Xuening?"
Yu Hanjiang said: "Cheng Yu, the rich second generation, and Lin Yiyan were just playing around. Neither of them were serious. They were friends. He had no motive to kill Lin Yiyan. People currently related to Lin Yiyan
, agent Qi Ming, best friend Qiao Xuening, and school girl Ye Lan, all of them have alibis, but when you mentioned disguise just now, it reminded me of something - the alibi can be faked. "
Fake alibi?
Xiao Lou was suddenly startled: "So, someone can pretend to be them and create an alibi?"
Yu Hanjiang nodded: "Jin Xiaoyue can pretend to be Jin Xiaoyong, so you may have guessed the key to the secret room this time."
******
【Chapter 269, Disguise】
The next morning, Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou came to the traffic police brigade again.
What they wanted to check was the whereabouts of Liang Ting, Ye Lan and Qiao Xuening's cars and their taxi records.
By doing this, we can first rule out the case that "Liang Ting killed Lin Yiyan and was later killed by Jin Xiaoyue". We can also confirm the entry and exit records of Qiao Xuening and Ye Lan during those two days.
Facts have proved that Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou's speculations were correct. Liang Ting was not the kind of person who planned murder with deep thoughts.
On the two days when the crime occurred, that is, on the 16th and 17th, Liang Ting's white car with the license plate number Bina-T7777 drove from her residence to the hospital every morning and drove home at dinner time. During those two days, Liang Ting and Xie
Yuan's youngest daughter was hospitalized due to pneumonia and lived in the VIP ward of a private hospital on the outskirts of the city. Liang Ting went to the hospital to watch over her daughter during the day, while Xie Yuan worked shifts at night. This was consistent with Xie Yuan's description.
On the night of the 16th, Liang Ting drove home from the hospital, but her car never left again. There was no record of Liang Ting taking a taxi late at night in the taxi app. On the morning of the 17th, she drove to the hospital again, which proved that Lin Yiyan was
On the night of the killing, Liang Ting stayed at home.
Liang Ting's suspicion has been completely eliminated.
Ye Lan was with the members of the 505 girl group for two days on 16 and 17. Her suspicion was the lowest. After all, the other four people and the manager of the 505 girl group could prove that Ye Lan did not leave the group during those two days. Her appearance,
Just to draw out this clue about Xie Yuan and Lin Yiyan.
As for Qiao Xuening, those two days of filming a variety show in the mountains proved that she had a lot of people at the show.
Agent Qi Ming's alibi is also very strong. He left in a taxi at 3:30 and was photographed by the surveillance camera at the gate of the community. Lin Yiyan's car was driven out of the community at 4 o'clock, which does not match the time.
The suspects all have alibi, so there are only two possibilities.
First, none of these suspects are the murderers. The real murderer is still hiding in the dark.
Second, there is actually a murderer among the suspects, and there is a problem with the alibi.
Yu Hanjiang checked Lin Yiyan's vehicle information again. He went to the 4S store to inquire based on the model of the burned car. After checking, it was confirmed that the two black cars with couple number plates were both new cars produced a year ago. Payment was made when purchasing the car.
The person is Cheng Yu.
In other words, Cheng Yu bought two cars at once and gave one to his lover Lin Yiyan. This car is worth a lot of money, but for a rich second generation like Cheng Yu, giving a car to his girlfriend during a relationship is simply too much.
It's a piece of cake.
Lin Yiyan's second car, the sports car with the license plate number on her birthday, was purchased by agent Qi Ming. Apparently Qi Ming gave it to Lin Yiyan on her birthday.
This information was expected by Yu Hanjiang, and the investigation was only for 100% confirmation.
After returning to the police force, he compiled all the information on Lin Yiyan's case, and then went to Binzhou TV Station.
——The director and staff of the variety show "Please Close Your Eyes after Dark".
This variety show happened to be recorded by Binzhou TV Station. The program team was in the radio and television station building. When Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou came to the program team, they were doing the final editing.
Yu Hanjiang showed the police officer certificate to the program team, who immediately said they would cooperate with the investigation.
The director is a veteran of the TV station. He is in his forties, but he is full of youthful energy and loves to laugh when he talks. Yu Hanjiang called him to a separate office next door and asked: "The two days on the 16th and 17th of last month
, are you sure Qiao Xuening is recording the show live?"
The director nodded: "Of course. In order to edit the program with the best effect, we played several rounds of the game in a row, and we didn't take a break until after three o'clock in the middle of the night. Qiao Xuening didn't know how to play this kind of game, and was always voted out, with a look on her face.
The helpless look was quite fun to shoot.”
When Xiao Lou was in college, he often played this kind of killing game with his classmates. People who don't know how to play can easily become cannon fodder.
Yu Hanjiang asked: "During the recording of the program, how was the light at the scene? Can everyone's faces be seen clearly?"
The director said: "During the murder part in the dark, the light will be deliberately dimmed to create a scary atmosphere. But in the daytime during the voting part, the lighting engineer will make the light very bright, and our photographer will zoom in even closer."
The camera provides close-ups of the faces of all the guests, so of course the faces can be seen clearly, otherwise, when the show is broadcast, it will be meaningless for the audience to see a few black figures playing games."
Yu Hanjiang then asked: "Was the venue closed when the program was being recorded? Is it possible for outsiders to sneak in secretly?"
The director immediately shook his head and said: "Outsiders can't come in. Recording a program at night is inherently risky. The outer circle has been cordoned off and security personnel have been hired to guard it. We want to ensure the safety of all guests and staff."
Yu Hanjiang: "In other words, no one came in and no one left during the journey?"
The director said: "Yes."
Yu Hanjiang asked again: "Did anything unusual happen to Qiao Xuening that night? Her expression, voice, and movements when walking?"
The director said: "She was in good condition that day and was very polite to everyone. She just had a slight cold and her voice was a little hoarse when she spoke, but it was fine and did not affect the recording of the program."
Yu Hanjiang: "Where is her leg? Is there any problem?"
The director was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses and said: "Oh, I remembered that she accidentally fell down while filming a horse riding scene in a martial arts drama. I heard that she broke her leg and was hospitalized. I was worried about her at that time.
Her reply to me as to whether she could record the show was to see how she was recovering. Later, when she was admitted to the hospital, she said she could record it. On the day we recorded the show, she recovered very well and walked quite normally."
The director paused and then added: "Our show does not have a lot of activities. When it gets dark, the guests collectively enter the tent, and the murderer comes out and leaves a sign on the tent for the person he wants to kill. At dawn, everyone walks out of the tent, and
Just walking a few steps won't have much impact on her legs."
Yu Hanjiang: "She's alone? Her manager didn't accompany her?"
The director nodded and said: "All the guests are alone. Our program team has assistants who will arrange food and accommodation for everyone."
Yu Hanjiang finished asking the question and said, "Please bring me the recorded program. I want the original version without editing."
Director: "Okay."
Yu Hanjiang asked other staff members, including makeup artists, stylists, etc., and they all said that Qiao Xuening had no other abnormalities except a cold. She seemed to be recovering well and walking steadily.
——Good temper and polite to everyone.
Almost everyone said this about Qiao Xuening.
Soon, the director arranged for someone to give the original film of the program to Yu Hanjiang.
Yu Hanjiang took it back and watched it carefully with Xiao Lou. As the director said, they were recording the program in the mountains. The scary atmosphere was indeed created very realistically. There was a distance between the tents. When the murderer came out to put signs on the tents, it was indeed very scary.
Hair on people's backs.
There are cameras in each tent that can record the guests' performance when they are alone in the tent.
Several times, the camera captured Qiao Xuening's expression in close-up. She was sitting in the tent, looking a little nervous. She kept clenching her fingers and biting her lips, as if she was worried that the murderer would put the sign on her back. She was wearing the same clothes on the day of the recording of the show.
Wearing a thick down jacket and holding a hand warmer, she had a cold and sometimes couldn't help but cough.
Qiao Xuening is really not good at playing this kind of game. During the village voting stage, other guests talked nonsense seriously to clear themselves up. When it was Qiao Xuening's turn to speak, her eloquence was far worse than other guests. She was always the first to be chosen.
Ticket out.
With a confused look on his face, he almost turned into a game mascot.
Xiao Lou specially observed her walking posture. When he saw her turning around and entering the tent, he immediately paused the scene, pointed at her leg and said: "She has just recovered from a fracture in her left leg. When she walks, she subconsciously
The center of gravity is on her right leg. It cannot be seen on the surface, but if you compare it carefully, you will see that the amplitude of her left leg and her right leg are different, and her pelvis will tilt slightly to the healthy side. "
Yu Hanjiang frowned slightly: "According to Qu Wanyue, the current Qiao Xuening is very flexible not only in walking, but also in dancing. On November 17, she was recording a show in the mountains. At that time, she would subconsciously shift her weight to her right leg while walking. She is now very flexible.
, how can you recover so quickly in just one week? Not only can you move freely, but you can also dance?"
Xiao Lou shook his head: "Even if the leg can recover, the psychological change will not happen so quickly. It is reasonable to walk normally and dance as if nothing happened. I have never seen such a patient... There must be something wrong with Qiao Xuening's leg injury."
Yu Hanjiang looked at Xiao Lou with admiration. Professor Xiao's sharp eyes actually saw that Qiao Xuening's left and right legs were different in width when she walked. He speculated that she focused on her right leg. Obviously, the injury to her left leg still had a certain psychological impact on her.
So, why does Qiao Xuening, in front of Qu Wanyue, look so calm while dancing ballet?
That afternoon, Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou came to the set together.
The security personnel of the crew refused to let them in. Yu Hanjiang's police officer ID card was a pass. When the other party saw the police officer ID card, they immediately wanted to call someone. Yu Hanjiang shook his head and said: "The police are conducting a secret investigation. Don't alert other people for the time being."
A group of security guards looked at each other.
At this time, the crew was filming a rivalry scene between the male and female protagonists. The entire crew was busy, with staff from various groups gathered around, including lighting, sound effects, photography, scene notes... dozens of people were present. Therefore, the appearance of Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou did not
Without attracting too many people's attention, Qu Wanyue, Liu Qiao and others saw them and pretended not to recognize them and continued to stay at their posts.
The content of this scene is that the male protagonist misunderstood the female protagonist and left angrily. The female protagonist chased him on the street for a while, accidentally fell to the ground, shed tears silently, and finally turned around and left in despair.
This idol drama follows a bloody route of first torturing the female protagonist and then the male protagonist.
Since the crew had already started filming, Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou stood watching from a distance.
After these few days of running-in, Cheng Yu and Qiao Xuening have developed a tacit understanding of each other. Cheng Yu performed the angry expression perfectly. Qiao Xuening ran after him. After falling, she gasped in pain. She lay on the ground, stunned.
Shedding tears in silence.
Her tears came at the drop of a hat, and she cried so sadly that she didn't even need eye drops. It was really amazing.
Xiao Lou whispered in Yu Hanjiang's ear: "Qiao Xuening's acting skills are indeed good."
It is said that her crying scenes have almost become a benchmark in the entertainment industry, and she is indeed well-deserved.
The director was very happy and said cheerfully: "Okay, good luck! You are all in good condition today. This scene was quite difficult. I thought it would take an entire afternoon to shoot, but you two finished it in one go. The crew is on holiday, so everyone goes back to rest!"
Cheers came from all around.
Cheng Yu ran over and said in a mean voice: "Director Zhang, are my acting skills improving very quickly?"
The director laughed and scolded: "Xiao Ning is not the best guide!"
Qiao Xuening bowed politely to the director: "Thank you, Director Zhang, and thank you all."
Director Zhang waved his hand and said: "Everyone, please leave. I will ask the assistant director to send you the scenes to be filmed tomorrow morning. Go back and prepare carefully. They are all dance scenes." He looked at Qiao Xuening's legs and asked: "
By the way, can your legs bear it?"
Qiao Xuening smiled and said, "Yes, I have fully recovered."
The director said sincerely: "Don't force it. If the root of the disease develops in your legs, it will last a lifetime. Arthritis will be very painful when you get old. If necessary, you can hire a stand-in and shoot close-ups of the legs directly with the stand-in. I
Let’s do the post-processing here.”
Qiao Xuening immediately refused: "It's really not necessary, I can do it myself."
The agent next to her looked at her helplessly and said: "Actually, I also suggested hiring a stand-in for difficult dance scenes, but Xiaoxiao had to perform in person. She learned dance when she was a child and has very solid basic skills. At the beginning of this year, her legs were not ready.
Before she was injured, she took a month out to take ballet classes for the filming of this movie, and she didn’t want these efforts to go to waste.”
The director smiled happily and said: "Xiao Ning is indeed a very dedicated actor, so let's leave it to that. You will do it in person tomorrow, and we will see the effect first. If you can persevere, it would be best if you can shoot it yourself."
Qiao Xuening nodded: "Okay, Director Zhang."
Yu Hanjiang heard all the conversation between the two.
After the director left, Yu Hanjiang came to Qiao Xuening and said calmly: "Miss Qiao, we meet again."
Qiao Xuening was startled and said softly: "Officer Yu? Come to the crew to see me. Is there any progress in Xiaoyan's case?"
Yu Hanjiang nodded: "Yes."
Qiao Xuening looked delighted: "Great!"
The agent next to him said nervously: "Officer Yu, there are many people on the crew talking, so let's go back and talk."
Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou returned to the hotel with Qiao Xuening and their agent.
The manager poured water for the two of them and asked, "Who killed Lin Yiyan? Do you have any clues?"
Yu Hanjiang looked at Qiao Xuening with sharp eyes: "We can't be sure until we see Miss Qiao's substitute."
Qiao Xuening's face changed slightly: "What, what kind of substitute?"
Yu Hanjiang said calmly: "It's the same substitute who replaced you when you broke your leg in the last costume drama... Why did Miss Qiao forget it so quickly?"
