Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Scene Reappears
On the way back, everyone was preoccupied, the pressure suddenly increased, and they remained silent for a while. At this time, Shen Mingyue suddenly stopped, stood in place in a daze, and was left at the back of the line.
Since entering Liu Xiaoquan's house, she has been trying to find what she needs from any subtle clues, not only because the case is urgent, but also because she sees Liu Xiaoquan's different expressions and actions from the past, she knows that Liu Xiaoquan also has high hopes for herself. Now it is a matter of life and death for him and his family, as a classmate for many years, Shen Mingyue is much more dedicated than ever.
On the way, she was always recalling everything that had just happened in Liu's house, with Liu Xiaoquan's appearance, his father's words, and his mother's movements, all of which appeared in front of her one by one, in the living room that was not too spacious, there were eight people sitting except for Liu Yuer, which seemed a little crowded, and everyone's gestures were not particularly natural, which was easy to capture the smallest links.
"Captain, wait a minute. Suddenly, she thought of something and stopped her teammates.
Liu Yiting turned around, only to find that Shen Mingyue, who had just walked together, was now seven or eight meters away from the team, her eyes were shining, and she seemed to have an opinion, so she asked, "Mingyue, have you found anything?"
Shen Mingyue didn't answer immediately, but quickly went through the scene of the Liu family in her mind, as well as Liu Xiaoquan's words in the class reunion, and then clarified her thoughts and said, "I did find something that Liu Xiaoquan's current Yuan Hui'e seems to be pregnant." ”
"What? pregnant, this can't be!" Liu Zichen was surprised, "Yuan Hui'e is at least forty years old, it is very dangerous to have a child at this time, and besides, she has a pair of children under her knees, and she doesn't seem to have any needs!"
Shen Mingyue naturally knew that such speculation was not enough to convince the public, and she didn't know why Yuan Hui'e and Liu Changshou planned to have a third child at this age, so she could only list the reasons for finding out one by one.
First, Yuan Hui'e, as the wife of the CEO of a real estate development company, even if she doesn't have to accompany Liu Changshou to manage the company, her temperament and image should still be paid attention to, just like Hou Hong, the wife of Deputy Director Ji Zhuo, she must have an official appearance outside, and she can't embarrass her husband. And when they went just now, Yuan Hui'e wore a wide nightgown, if it didn't matter if she was in her own home, but before the Beiting Detective Agency went, Shen Mingyue had already told Liu Xiaoquan that his parents also knew about it so they waited at home on purpose, and they would not be in a hurry to change into decent clothes, which could only mean that she didn't like to wear those tight or uncomfortable clothes.
Second, before Yuan Hui'e met Hou Hong in the vegetable market, she had been there for a while, but she didn't buy any vegetables, according to Kuang Suo's observation, the kitchen was empty, so Shen Mingyue wondered, what does a person who doesn't buy vegetables do in the vegetable market? If he ran back later because he was delayed because he had to talk to Hou Hong, and because Hou Hong was scared because of Hou Hong's death, why did he always run away empty-handed before. So she specially asked Liu Xiaoquan privately, and the other party replied that the family had recently hired a nanny to cook, and her mother went to the market just to stay at home and be bored, just to go shopping. From these words, it can be heard that Yuan Hui'e has been at home recently in addition to traveling, as if she intends to recuperate.
Third, according to the investigation, the Liu family recently bought a high-end house near the best elementary school in the city, that is, a school district house. Liu Xiaoquan is no longer studying, and although Liu Xiaoer is not very old, she has already reached the time of elementary school, and it must be too late to buy a house that has not been renovated at this time. In this case, who is this school district house near the elementary school for?
"It's for the third child!"
Liu Yiting suddenly realized that if the first two reasons cannot be regarded as ironclad evidence, then the third one can only be explained like this. From a medical point of view, it is impossible to conclude that a person is pregnant without a color ultrasound report, but from the perspective of a detective, as long as the reasons are sufficient and the reasoning is appropriate, even if there is no evidence, it can be regarded as an important clue to solve the case, and it is not too late to obtain evidence when it is really needed.
In view of the success of the deduction in Yuanhai Square, which allowed them to find the root cause on the fountain, Chen Tianyu still left Wan Yongkun there to continue the investigation, and he led the others straight to the riverside park where the first deceased was located.
Binjiang Park, green vegetation is spread in any corner of the park, and it makes people feel relaxed and happy when they walk in, and it is a good place to cultivate sentiment, so there are many people here throughout the day. Elderly people come for a walk and talk about fishing, children run and fly kites, and adults come to the park to relax and relieve the stress of work.
At that time, the old man was sitting at the water's edge fishing, according to his family's description, this location is relatively fixed, almost every time the old man chooses to fish in this place, as for the reason, the family said that it is not clear, I think it is more familiar with the environment of this water, close to the trees, you can do some proper shelter when the sun is strong.
Chen Tianyu asked Liu Zichen to pretend to be an old man, sat where he had an accident, and then instructed Liu Yiting to find a dredging boat, take Liu Yiting to the boat, and drive to the middle of the water. Looking at the shore from the boat, there was still some distance, and he asked the boatman to slowly move the boat over until he was at the place where the accident occurred that day.
The water was very calm, some small fish were jumping enthusiastically, but it had no effect on the boat's movement, but there was a lot of silt and garbage under the water, and it looked quite muddy, and the worker was afraid that he would not be able to see the situation above, and would not avoid hitting his own fishing line, let alone calculate that the two boats would almost collide.
Chen Tianyu felt that all this was very common, and there was no possibility of human completion. For example, the fishing rod and fishing line are very long, and if you want to accurately calculate their strength, water position, and arc, it is almost impossible to hit the worker's face? The unlucky worker is just the instinct to survive, but by mistake the old man's fish hook is hooked, and the old man is frightened, and his body is not very good, so he fell down and broke his head.
According to the current position, if you jump down from the fishing line here, there is no guarantee that the underwater undercurrent will pull the hook in any direction, and it may not be possible to pull the fishing line, so that the old man will not be affected.
Chen Tianyu did not find any valuable clues here, and the group did not rest, but came directly to the Hong Kong City Vegetable Market not far away. The market is still very lively as before, and it has not been affected by Hou Hong's accidental death in the slightest, except for the market management personnel and nearby witnesses, no one knows the exact point and method of Hou Hong's death, and they will not feel special about a stranger.
According to Yuan Hui'e, she met Hou Hong near the pork ribs seller, and before that, Hou Hong was not hurt, but she was in a trance. At that time, Yuan Hui'e also asked with concern, but Hou Hong just said that her memory today was not very good, and her brain was slow to react, and then she chatted with herself normally, but she walked back and walked directly into the inner seasoning area.
Chen Tianyu first walked along the route Yuan Hui'e said, from the braised meat area to the seasoning area, there was a turning place, when Hou Hong slipped here and fell on the scale next to him.
Now, the scales are still in place, Chen Tianyu squatted down, stroked the dirty scales with his hands, and found a black lumpy object in the lower left corner, the area is not large, he put it on his nose and smelled it, it seemed to have some bloody smell, so he gave it to Liu Yiting and asked him to save it for testing. In Chen Tianyu's heart, he had already guessed that this was caused by the injury on Hou Hong's calf, she slipped and fell here, broke her skin, fell her head on the pig's head of the scale, and was helped up.
Chen Tianyu turned to the right slightly, his head poked over the corner, and found that the water stains on the ground had been wiped dry, and now the ground of the entire market was dealt with in a timely manner because of that incident, and there were cleaning personnel to be responsible for it at any time.
Chen Tianyu walked into the spice shop, met the young boss in his early thirties, and asked Hou Hong about the situation at that time. But the little boss couldn't say clearly, because he said that after Hou Hong's leg was injured, he went to find a band-aid for him, and he didn't see it at all when he returned, but when he returned, he saw the iron hook stuck in Hou Hong's neck.
The little boss has a wide variety of spice shops, and he likes to open the packaging of best-selling products so that customers can experience and taste them for themselves, and also make their own ideal choices, just like the packet of chili powder, which is exposed to the air like many other kinds of powder. If you get a little closer to your nose, you can smell a more pungent smell, and most people will definitely be unable to help it.
The communication with the little boss made Chen Tianyu know Hou Hong's every move before losing sight, this place is a corner, where Hou Hong first wrestled and then choked on chili powder, and then returned to the dangerous seafood area in a state of blindness.
There was no other problem here, Chen Tianyu and the others returned, still taking the route provided by Yuan Hui'e and Hou Hong rampage, and saw that the big crab was still swimming in the tank, and the place where the electric fan had been replaced by a newly bought replacement.
Only the roast duck machine caught his attention, not that Chen Tianyu could see that there must be something wrong with the machine, but in the aquatic area, there was actually a roast duck for sale, he felt very puzzled, so he asked Liu Yiting to find the property to explain the matter.
At this time, his mobile phone rang, and it was Wan Yongkun who opened it.
"Hey, Yongkun, it's me. Chen Tianyu didn't ask, he knew what he would hear.
Sure enough, Wan Yongkun was a little excited, and he said excitedly on the phone, "Captain, we just went to check carefully, the switch of the music fountain in the square is not near the gate at all, but in the sound control center far away from there!"
"It's good to find the property there to get the duty records, especially before the time of the crime. Chen Tianyu found a breakthrough and immediately commanded.
"Captain, we have already transferred it, but their square has not been open for a long time, and the management system is not formal, so on that day, only one person was on duty, but then something happened to the individual's family, and he went home after a while, so he was in the control center at that time, and there was no one on duty at all!" Wan Yongkun finished finding everything in one breath.
Chen Tianyu was a little disappointed, but it was always good to have a clue, and continued to order Wan Yongkun, "That's the case, then you go to the person who should be on duty to understand the specific situation, and also investigate whether something happened to his family from the side to see if he has gone home." ”
"Captain, do you have eyebrows?" Shen Mingyue observed that Chen Tianyu's expression was changing, so she asked.
Chen Tianyu nodded slightly, and told everyone about Wan Yongkun's discovery of the music fountain switch.
After there was really a doubt, everyone's mood was much better, they were like being in a fog, and they finally saw a glimmer of light, so they naturally had to hurry up and try to catch it.
At this moment, Liu Yiting came back, and there were five people following him, one of whom was wearing a suit, obviously the leader, he claimed to be the property manager, but he didn't know the origin of this roast duck machine, and no one knew if he asked his colleagues, and it was almost certain that this machine was placed here outside the formalities.
The reason why the property manager brought four people was to ask them to carry the roast duck machine away and not get in the way. Chen Tianyu didn't expect that the roast duck machine would have no owner, and the surrounding merchants would only suddenly appear today, and there was no such thing here, and they thought it was someone who placed it here temporarily.
In this case, it is even more suspicious, the hook that was used as a murder weapon flew out of this duck roast machine, and now I don't know the origin of the duck roast machine. Chen Tianyu also had another idea in his heart, it might be a property or someone owning it, but he heard that Hou Hong died under the hook and was afraid of taking responsibility, so he didn't know that it was not impossible, so he didn't open his mouth to break it.
With the suspicion of the musical fountain, the mind seems to have broadened a lot, but at present, above the first murder, there seems to be no clues, and everything does not look like a sign of human interference.
A bold inference came to Chen Tianyu's mind, the case that happened in Binjiang Park may really be the old man who fell and hit his head because he was frightened, it was really an accident, and there may not be a direct connection with the subsequent series of cases. It's just because the time coincides with the time and it also belongs to Liu Xiaoquan's prediction, so I preconceived it as the first thing.
However, this cannot be said nonsense without evidence, so Chen Tianyu said to everyone, "Let's not worry about the Binjiang Park for the first time, we can jump over for the time being and find out all the doubts that have been discovered." ”
