Chapter 18 Undercurrent
"absurd……?"
Xia Liang asked:
"Why is it ridiculous?"
"The ice rink, KFC, cinema, subway... these places have one thing in common, that is, the traffic is huge. Even if you are interested in retrieving surveillance, it is tantamount to finding someone. The alibi certificate she provides to you is all payment receipts from your mobile phone, but this can only prove that the mobile phone has indeed paid in that place, and it cannot directly prove that the mother and daughter have indeed been to Tianhe..."
Xia Liang thought about it and sighed:
"It's true... Even the stubs of movie tickets can be picked up near the cinema. It may take a long time to investigate the authenticity of these absentee certificates."
Zhu Ansheng said:
"But we don't have time."
"Why?"
"The identity of the deceased has surfaced only one day later, but we have not even understood the murderer's criminal intention."
Xia Liang pursed his lips, disagreed:
"At least, we now have a new investigation direction and the secret room has been cracked, which is equivalent to narrowing the scope of investigation..."
Zhu Ansheng stopped writing, turned the chair to face him, and pinched his eyebrows:
"When will the secret room be cracked?"
Xia Liang was stunned: "Didn't you crack it yourself by your brother-in-law?"
"I have never said that the secret room has been cracked." Zhu Ansheng shook his head.
"But, it's not what you said. Did the murderer pretend to be the deceased and confused Zhang Jianhong and Liu Zhongwei again. After destroying the body, he collaborated with his accomplices outside to crack the double secret room?"
Zhu Ansheng said: "That would take more than three people to push the shelf blocking the door."
"Is there anything wrong with the three people? The murderer is probably a criminal gang? After all, Fu Sizhe's biggest doubt at present is the foreign transfer record that is unknown..."
"The murderer cannot be a criminal gang. Even if he is not alone, there are only two people at most. If there are more than three criminals, it is absolutely impossible to leave footprints." Zhu Ansheng said firmly.
"Brother-in-law, are you still struggling with those footprints?"
Xia Liang felt a little unwilling to accept:
"Actually, I thought about it, maybe you were too worried. After the murderer was confused by the security guard and the aquatic store manager, he not only wanted to destroy the body, but also left the fingerprints of the deceased in the cold storage to ensure that we would not find clues and also spent time moving the shelves. Maybe he mistakenly calculated the time for melting snow in the cold storage, and left footprints after he had no choice but to be seen, so he deliberately walked out of the cold storage backwards, creating the illusion of going to the cold storage, misleading us..."
Zhu Ansheng turned the chair and said coldly:
"The snow melting time in the cold storage is two and a half hours. If you call your accomplices to help carry the body and leave fingerprints, it is more than enough time, and there is no possibility of leaving footprints. The murderer cannot be so stupid as to be trapped in a cocoon."
"But if as you said, there are only two murderers at most, what does this situation have to do with the footprints left by the murderer? Besides, it is impossible for two people to move the shelf in any case..."
“So, that’s where the ‘blind spot’ I overlooked.”
Zhu Ansheng is already stubborn and seems to be somewhat nervous.
Xia Liang couldn't resist him and sighed.
"Get a break early, brother-in-law. It's easy for you to be overwhelmed."
Zhu Ansheng did not respond to him, turned his hand to him:
"What do I want?"
Xia Liang was stunned for a moment and realized that it was Zhu Ansheng asking him to come, Fu Sizhe's autopsy report.
"It has been sent to my email address and will be forwarded to you tonight."
Zhu Ansheng said "Oh", withdrew his hand and continued to fight against the difficult problems in front of him.
Xia Liang remained silent for a long time and retreated silently.
My brother-in-law had already gotten into the horns. He thought to himself.
——He has to solve this case by himself.
The next day, the interrogation of suspects Zhang Jianhong and Liu Zhongwei ushered in the final stage.
After the polygraph test, the two really had no relationship with Fu Sizhe.
When they saw the photo of the deceased, they even said that they had never seen this person.
Afterwards, the task force adopted Xia Liang's suggestion:
The two of them were commissioned to return to the cold storage of the Huangsha seafood market together to restore the crime process.
The two of them put on down jackets and were locked in the cold storage again, accompanied by several detectives.
To simulate a dark scene, they turned off the cold storage lights from inside.
In the darkness, the two really recalled some clues.
At that time, they woke up one after another and confirmed that there were two other people in the cold storage besides themselves.
The "dead" acted far more flustered than theirs, their voices were hoarse and shocked, and they were always saying things like "someone wanted to harm me".
Afterwards, they tried to open the cold storage door and found that the door was locked, Zhang Jianhong proposed to press the shelf against the door.
There was an important detail during this period: Zhang Jianhong originally planned to use a shelf to block the door and prevent people from coming in, but the "dead" said that more than one person might harm them, and the shelf was not safe enough, so he proposed a way to put a box on and set a trap.
In this way, even if someone breaks in, they can wake up in time to find ways to defend themselves.
The detective asked about what happened later. The two confirmed each other's fragmentary memories. As expected, after pushing the shelf, the drug's power did not retreat. They returned to the cold storage to prepare for a rest, while the deceased said that they were too tired and took a break before passing.
After that, he was woken up by Chen Qiang's slap in the door, rushed to the door, and slap in the door for help.
These are all the useful clues extracted from the confession of the two people, perfectly confirming Zhu Ansheng's conjecture.
If the murderer had not disguised himself as the dead and encouraged them to put the boxes on the shelves, this double secret room would have been impossible.
In this way, Zhang Jianhong and Liu Zhongwei have basically cleared the suspicion involved in the case. The police have already determined that there is another murderer, and these two are just innocent scapegoats.
The detectives were all excited.
With breakthrough progress in the case, the scope of suspects can be further narrowed.
The task force's focus was finally completely shifted from the secret room site and was placed on Fu Sizhe's whereabouts before his death.
According to his company, Fu Sizhe got home from get off work at nearly 12 o'clock on Friday night and took the night bus passing by Huangsha as usual.
The police retrieved bus records from relevant periods and saw that Fu Sizhe got off at Huangsha Station. Due to incomplete surveillance equipment, it was impossible to continue tracking.
So they turned to study Fu Sizhe's interpersonal relationships and looked for possible suspects.
On the other hand, another team led by expert Jiang was also working overtime, trying his best to find out where the foreign transfer record was going.
Fu Sizhe's computer was formatted once two months ago and no suspicious records were left.
Xia Liang drove his white accord into Tianhe City Square.
