After driving the car for about a hundred meters and about to reach the intersection at the end of the road, Quan Yong asked Yong Ming, "Master, where are we going?"
Hearing this, Yong Ming couldn't help but raise his right eyebrow and said, "Drive to the Justice Bureau to finish the things we haven't completed today."
"Okay!"
After receiving the clear instructions from Yong Ming, Quan Yong immediately drove the vehicle to the intersection, turned straight to the left, and sped away in the direction of the Justice Bureau.
At ten o'clock in the morning on the second day, in the office of Deng Chengfeng, the owner of the "Ruixiangxuan" tea house, Yong Ming, Sheng Qingfeng and Huang Hanhan, met with Director Mai of the Hangzhou Police Department, the leader and the team leader who participated in the operation yesterday.
The detectives involved in the poisoning and murder case were sitting together on the armchairs that had been specially moved to this office from other rooms, and seemed to be communicating about the case.
A piece of information was placed in front of Director Mai of the Hangzhou Police Department. Director Mai, who is about fifty years old, is very lean and looks very smart and capable.
After carefully reading the information in his hand, he handed the information to his two subordinates and asked them to circulate it for a look.
At the same time, Yong Ming signaled Huang Hanhan to introduce and explain the specific situation to Mai Ju and others regarding the content of the information.
After listening to what Huang Hanhan said specifically, Bureau Mai of the police station looked sideways at the detective who was handling the poisoning and murder case at the "Ruixiangxuan" teahouse, and asked: "This snuff bottle found at the scene of the crime
, why didn’t we notice it when our personnel inspected the scene?”
When the detective saw the director asking this question, he hurriedly replied: "Secretary, there are many exquisite objects in this teahouse, some of which the brothers have never seen before.
It is estimated that this snuff bottle was ignored for this reason, and an important clue involved in the case was missed.
I realize that I have made a mistake in my humble position, and I sincerely request the bureau to punish me."
"Then tell me, after listening to Miss Huang's briefing and reading the analysis report of this test, how do you view this snuff bottle?"
Mai Ju said very sternly.
From his tone, it can be felt that he is very dissatisfied with the carelessness and lack of meticulousness of his subordinates at work.
The detective felt the irritation of his director and was busy organizing his thoughts to answer the director's questions.
After pausing for a few seconds, he said cautiously: "There are two people's fingerprints on the body of this snuff bottle.
When Mr. Yong arrived at our police station this morning, he compared the fingerprint photos he brought with the fingerprint records we extracted of Deng Chengfeng and Zhang Taijiang.
The subsequent results were that there were Zhang Taijiang's fingerprints and another person's fingerprints on the snuff bottle body, but there were no fingerprints of Deng Chengfeng.
This excludes the possibility that Deng Chengfeng touched the snuff bottle, but it cannot be concluded that he is not suspected of murder.
Because, according to what he told Mr. Yong when he went to the detention center to meet him, he had taken the snuff bottle and viewed it.
However, his fingerprints were not found on the body of the snuff bottle, which is unjustifiable.
Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that Deng Chengfeng put poison into the snuff bottle and then wiped off his own fingerprints left on the bottle.
In this way, after poisoning and killing people, the important physical evidence involved in the case can be used to clear one's own murder suspicion."
"So, you think Deng Chengfeng is still suspected of serious murder, right?"
Bureau Mai from the police station asked.
"Yes. This man was poisoned in a tea house, and the snuff bottle found at the scene was extracted and tested for drugs laced with poisonous ingredients.
The emergence of these circumstances makes Deng Chengfeng, the owner of the tea house and at the scene when the crime occurred, inseparable."
The detective firmly believed that although Deng Chengfeng's fingerprints were not found on the instrument used to poison Zhang Taijiang, he was still suspected of murder.
Therefore, when answering the director's questions, I still insisted on my own point of view.
"This is just a suspicion of murder. In the final analysis, there is no direct evidence. You have also conducted investigations. There is no excessive interaction between Deng Chengfeng and Zhang Taijiang, and there is no entanglement of interests.
Deng Chengfeng's reason for killing was insufficient, and he did not gain any substantial benefit from Zhang Taijiang's murder.
Instead, he was implicated because of the murder, which led to him being imprisoned and the teahouse business being shut down.
While Deng Chengfeng lost his personal freedom, he also suffered huge economic losses.
The murder method of poisoning showed that the murderer knew the victim's living habits and that the murder was premeditated.
Under such circumstances, how could a person who had no personal contact with the victim and did not know the victim want to kill him?
Moreover, even if someone kills someone for profit because of some conflict of interest, or kills someone out of anger because of some conflict of hatred, the murderer will consider whether the environment at the time of committing the crime is conducive to his escape when committing the murder.
If there are witnesses around, no murderer will be stupid enough to kill someone in the presence of others if he cannot guarantee his own safety.
Of course, professional killers are excluded. They have their own methods and techniques and can kill people without anyone knowing.
But do you think Deng Chengfeng is a professional killer?"
Seeing the detective shaking his head, he denied this statement.
Mr. Mai from the police station continued to say seriously: "It seems that you have made a decision in your mind whether he is a professional killer or not.
As an ordinary person, he also knows that murder is a serious crime. Just imagine, Deng Chengfeng, a successful businessman, doesn't know this truth?
Would he be stupid enough to poison and kill a customer with whom he had no close friendship in front of everyone, in his own teahouse, and in his presence?
Your inference that Deng Chengfeng poisoned and killed Zhang Taijiang is untenable.
When there is no motive for killing and the killing behavior is abnormal, you insist on inferring that Deng Chengfeng is suspected of killing, and you have actually identified him as the murderer.
Is this your first day here to investigate a homicide case?
This is based on personal subjective judgment and does not take into account the objective facts to determine the case. If you do not make corrections, I will remove you from this case and return to the bureau to suspend you for reflection."
"Yes, Bureau Chief. Now that I know this, I will never take it for granted when investigating cases again."
Sensing the serious atmosphere, the detective immediately stood up from his chair, stood at attention and saluted Mr. Mai of the police station.
