Chapter 87: Peeling Back the Threads
Accompanied by lawyer Zhang, Zhuo Jiali slowly told the police all about what happened during the day, and emphasized that it was Rong Qianqian who sent a text message to ask her to go to the stairwell.
One of the tall policemen heard the text message, turned around and asked his partner, and after checking it several times, he told Zhuo Jiali and Lawyer Zhang.
"It's a pity that Miss Zhuo, you didn't find the so-called victim asking you a text message on your phone, instead, there was a text message you asked her to go to the stairwell. β
According to the report of the cleaning aunt who passed through the stairs as usual, after the police came to the scene, they also collected the mobile phones that they fell next to Zhuo Jiali and Rong Qianqian as evidence, and they had already looked for the clues that Zhuo Jiali said.
Not only did Zhuo Jiali lose her color, but Lawyer Zhang also had a faint look of surprise on her face. The two looked at each other quickly, and a conclusion was already exchanged in their eyes - this was deliberate!
"What about the surveillance footage of the stairs, what about the fingerprints on my phone? Also, I was knocked unconscious, did you find any murder weapons at the scene?"
Zhuo Jiali was a little anxious but still sober-minded and asked a lot of doubts in her heart, which was also the key point of the case. Lawyer Zhang stood next to Zhuo Jiali and slowly patted her on the shoulder comfortingly, signaling that she didn't need to be in a hurry, and also hinted that she would talk less and listen more, and let him communicate important matters.
In response to Zhuo Jiali's question, the tall policeman only shook his head in response.
"There was no surveillance footage, and the surveillance on several floors of the crime scene happened to be broken that day. Both phones only have your fingerprints on them, and there is no unusual information. As for what you think is the 'murder weapon' that hit you, I'm sorry, but when I found you, you were lying on the ground with your back to the sky, and according to the judgment of the investigating colleagues, you should have accidentally crashed backwards into the corner of the handrail and fainted, and the corner of the handrail next to you did have traces of your blood. β
"Impossible!"
Zhuo Jiali was so excited that she almost jumped out of bed, although Zhuo Jiali had guessed that someone had set her trap, but this kind of evidence was too perfect, and perfectly explained how this ill-intentioned person carefully laid a trap to point all the fingers at herself.
Lawyer Zhang saw that Zhuo Jiali was stimulated and emotional, and it was not appropriate to continue to communicate with the police at this time, so he had to carefully scrutinize all aspects to see what details could be broken, so he hurriedly pulled the tall policeman aside.
"Brother policeman, my client suffered a head injury, and now her mood is quite unstable, I think it is necessary to postpone the recording of the confession first, wait for her to rest for a good night, and then continue tomorrow, what do you think?"
The tall policeman looked at the poor sick woman, it was inconceivable that the president of a group would do such a thing, of course, the murderer was not just based on appearance, but out of humanitarianism, he still agreed to talk about it tomorrow.
So the police left the ward one after another, leaving only two to guard the door, so as not to "abscond in the middle of the night" Zhuo Jiali.
The ward finally fell silent, and Lawyer Zhang closed the door before sitting down on the chair next to Zhuo Jiali's bed.
"Mr. Zhuo, now there are only you and me, if there is any important information, please tell us all truthfully, I will definitely do my duty as a lawyer and stand in your position to deal with you. β
Zhuo Jiali took a few deep breaths, and first calmed down her beating heart.
"Lawyer Zhang, what I just said to the police is all the facts, and there is no half-fabrication to conceal it!"
Lawyer Zhang stared at Zhuo Jiali's eyes for a few seconds, and confirmed that she was indeed not lying with his years of knowledge of micro-expressions in the face of clients.
"Okay, then let's sort out the process of things at that time. β
Zhuo Jiali nodded gratefully, at this time, the unconditional trust of others is worth a thousand words.
"First of all, you received a text message from Rong Qianqian in the afternoon, asking you to meet in the stairwell on the 60th floor, saying that there is news from President Cen to tell you. Then when you get there, you find that she has fallen on the next floor, and when you try to run down to see how she is doing, you are knocked unconscious from behind. β
Zhuo Jiali nodded busily.
"That is to say, in addition to you and Rong Qianqian in the stairwell, there is a third person, and this person is likely to be the one who hurt Rong Qianqian. Combined with the police's rhetoric, in your mobile phone, Rong Qianqian's text message about you disappeared, but there was an extra text message for you to ask her, then it is possible that the person who hurt the two of you deleted the text message in your mobile phone, and then used your mobile phone to send a text message to Rong Qianqian, the sending time must be after you fainted, maybeββ"
Zhuo Jiali concentrated intently and listened to Lawyer Zhang rationally string together the whole thing.
"Maybe the text message sent to you by Rong Qianqian was also done by that mysterious person, the purpose was just to lead you to the scene of the crime, and then blame you, then the time of sending this text message should be after Rong Qianqian fainted. As soon as it is smoothed, the mystery man's crime time can be effectively narrowed down. As for the absence of fingerprints, a casual pair of gloves, there is nothing to discuss. β
Although lawyer Zhang was not at the scene, he has been a lawyer for many years, and his ability to peel off the truth of the case is no less than that of a first-class investigating policeman. Zhuo Jiali listened to his analysis with admiration, and also added a little thought of her own.
"I think there are a couple of things that are too coincidental. First, I happened to use Rong Qianqian as a tool, and many people knew that there was a discord between me and her in the past, and I suffered a loss in terms of the motive for committing the crime; second, it happened that Shang Tezhu was not by my side, and I went to the scene by myself to give me the opportunity to blame; third, it happened that the surveillance on the upper and lower floors was broken, and I failed to photograph the truth of the crime, let alone the real murderer. β
Zhuo Jiali paused, lowered her head and continued to sort out the messy thoughts in her heart.
"And the fourthβ" Mr. Zhang added a key point.
"It just so happened that Aunt Cleaning found you at a time that seemed to have been arranged. In this way, the murderer should be someone who understands the timing of you and the people around you, and knows more about the operation of Zhenzhong Group. β
After the two discussed, their hearts suddenly understood, but at the same time, their hearts trembled, the devil was in Zhenzhong, right by his side, Zhuo Jiali was struggling.
Lawyer Zhang saw through and continued to give positive advice to Zhuo Jiali.
"No matter who the real murderer is, it is important for us to find him, but it is more important to prove your innocence first, there is another important thing in this case-"
"Murder weapon!"
The two spoke in unison, hitting the nail on the head.
Although Zhuo Jiali mentioned that she was attacked from behind, after all, the police have basically determined that she hit the handrail through the on-site investigation, and naturally they will not bother to find any murder weapons, and this matter still depends on themselves.
Although everyone mentioned "Rong Qianqian" for one night, it was only then that Zhuo Jiali remembered her injury.
"Rong Qianqian, how is she doing?"
Lawyer Zhang pushed his glasses and told Zhuo Jiali everything he knew.
"She should have rolled down from the 60th floor, the person is out of danger, but a pair of feet are afraid ......"
Although Rong Qianqian used to make a lot of small moves behind her back to embarrass Zhuo Jiali, but the crime was not disabled, and now that she ended up like this, Zhuo Jiali was also very embarrassed.
