CHAPTER XXII

"But Wang Qing didn't have the time to kill Liu Xiangmei!" Jiang Xue said puzzled. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Da Yang also nodded, "Yes, wasn't Wang Qing always at his cousin's house when the fire caught fire?" He has enough alibi. ”

"Then re-verify the authenticity of his alibi." Song Ming, who had been silent, suddenly said, "Wang Qing set off from home at five o'clock, arrived at his cousin's house at seven o'clock, and went to the county to pull beer in the middle. In terms of time, it seems to be a little longer. What do you say, Zhiyuan? ”

"That's what I've always been unable to figure out, and I always feel like there's something that has been overlooked." After Ning Zhiyuan finished speaking, he pinched his eyebrows and lowered his head in contemplation. After a while, he took out his mobile phone and dialed Zhang Wei's number.

After talking to Zhang Wei on the phone, Ning Zhiyuan hung up the phone and put it back in his pocket, looked around at the few people in front of him who were full of anticipation and said: "Zhang Wei said that Liu Xiangmei's brain injury was not very serious, so she did not die on the spot because of a skull fracture. However, the damage of the cranial nerve can lead to a long-term coma, according to the autopsy, Liu Xiangmei was suffocated to death, but it is impossible to give accurate data on how long she was in a coma before death, but judging by Zhang Wei's experience, she can be in a coma for two or three hours or even longer. It's like some people have a brain trauma and become vegetative.

It was about ten o'clock that night when the villagers came out to put out the fire, and by that time the fire had already burned to the roof. When the doors and windows of the house are closed, the fire can reach the roof, indicating that the fire has been started for a long time. So Liu Xiangmei was at home that day, but instead of falling asleep, she was in a coma with a brain injury. ”

"This is strange, the murderer just set the fire directly after committing the murder, why wait two or three hours before going back? Isn't he afraid that Liu Xiangmei will wake up or be discovered? Chen Feng twisted his eyebrows, puzzled.

"The fire started at six or seven o'clock in the evening, and it was soon discovered by the neighbors. The murderer's purpose was to have the body burned to cover up the incriminating evidence, and of course it was not an option to set fire at this time. In the past few days, I have found that people in Dawang Village sleep relatively early, and usually go to bed at eight o'clock, so it is safer to start after eight o'clock. It is estimated that after the murderer smashed Liu Xiangmei's head with an axe, he thought she must be dead.

The courtyard door is locked, and the lights are not turned on in the house, and even if someone comes, they will think that there is no one at home like Wang Youli, so the murderer is not worried that Liu Xiangmei will wake up or be discovered. If it was six or seven o'clock in the evening when Liu Xiangmei was hit on the head with an axe, then Wang Qing would have time to commit the crime. Ning Zhiyuan let out a sigh, "Now we have to find out where Wang Qing went and what he did after he left home, including the time he stayed in the county. Song Ming, this matter is left to you and Da Yang, be sure to find out every point in time. ”

"Well," Song Ming nodded, "Don't worry, we will definitely find every place." "Xiao Wu and Jiang Xue will go to Wang Youli's house tomorrow and ask him about the specific details of the conflict with Wang Qing that day. Chen Feng will go to the scene with me tomorrow to see if there are any missing clues. ”

Quietly took a shower and half lay on the sofa to watch a TV series, but in fact, her mind was not on the TV at all. Since hearing Ning Zhiyuan's confession that day, the quiet heart has never been calm. Since high school, there has been no shortage of suitors around her quiet side, and Liu Xiangyang has pursued her for several years, but she has never been moved, and she will not be entangled in emotional matters. Ning Zhiyuan's sincerity really moved her, this kind of touching was something she had never experienced, and she hesitated whether to accept this feeling.

The phone rings every night, and Quiet quickly gets up and picks up the mobile phone on the coffee table and presses the answer button. Ning Zhiyuan's deep and magnetic voice came from the phone: "Have you slept?" The corners of Quiet's mouth couldn't help but hook up, "No, watch TV." Are you busy with what you've done? "Alas," Ning Zhiyuan sighed, "the case will not be finished until it is closed." ”

"What, what's the problem?" Quietly, Ning Zhiyuan's mood was a little low, and he asked softly. "I'm thinking about a question, what kind of line can suffocate people," Ning Zhiyuan said as he paced around the yard, "I thought about fishing lines before, but if the fishing lines are too thin, they will definitely scratch the skin." The other threads are either not strong enough or too thick. ”

Quiet snorted and laughed, "Who said that suffocation must be strangulation?" I think you're being deceived by appearances! Is it not the same as covering the mouth and nose to cause suffocation? "But there's a strangulation mark on my neck!" Ning Zhiyuan said with a frown.

"What if you take something and put your head around your jaw?" After a pause, he continued, "The strangulation marks on the neck are not the main cause of suffocation at all, but the ones left when the head is covered, and if this thing covering the head is not breathable, the person will soon suffocate." ”

"I see!" Ning Zhiyuan said excitedly, "Quiet, you are really my angel." Ning Zhiyuan's words made Jing Jing blush and her heart beat, and she touched her hot cheeks, fortunately, she would not be seen by Ning Zhiyuan through the phone. The two chatted casually, and Ning Zhiyuan told him to be quiet before hanging up the phone.

The next morning, Ning Zhiyuan and Chen Feng first went to Liu Lizhen's house. Liu Lizhen's house is not big, there is a kitchen between the two rooms, and the door is a small courtyard surrounded by a low wall, and you can see half of the windows of the house inside from the outside of the courtyard.

The room where Liu Lizhen lives is not furnished, and there is a small double-layer kang cabinet on the kang. A table and two chairs sit next to the kang, and under the window is a desk with a mirror and a few simple cosmetics.

There were two drawers under the desk, one of which contained nothing but a few hairpins and hair ties. The other has some common medicines and band-aids inside. Ning Zhiyuan looked at the name of the medicine the same, and finally turned out a small white medicine bottle in the innermost part of the drawer, which was a bottle of sleeping pills. The medicine bottle was very new, and the medicine inside was quite full when he shook it gently, and Ning Zhiyuan carefully put the medicine bottle into the evidence bag.

"Team Ning, there are men's underwear here." Chen Feng took out three pairs of men's underwear and two pairs of socks in the kang cabinet and put them in the evidence bag, "It seems that Liu Lizhen's family really has a man to stay overnight." Chen Feng said and poked his head into the cabinet to continue searching.

Half an hour later, Ning Zhiyuan and Chen Feng searched almost the entire house, but they didn't find anything valuable. The two had to go to another room. There is also a kang in the other room, and there are no cabinets on the kang, just a few cardboard boxes and shoeboxes stacked against the wall.

The cardboard boxes are full of books, from textbooks for elementary school students to various magazines. There was nothing special in a set of cupboards on the floor except for some old clothes. It seems that this room has been used as a storage room because it is not inhabited.

The two of them just wanted to leave, but Ning Zhiyuan suddenly found that there seemed to be something in the kang hole, and he leaned down to touch it, it was a black plastic bag, and inside was a men's jacket with a small gray checkered. "What are you doing in the kang cave with your clothes?" Chen Feng watched in surprise as Ning Zhiyuan unfolded his clothes.

"Chen Feng, what do you think this is?" Ning Zhiyuan picked up one sleeve of his jacket, and a gleam flashed in his eyes. "Stains?" Chen Feng took a closer look at a few dark patches on his sleeve, and his voice trembled slightly because of excitement and said, "It can't be blood, right?" ”

"Judging from the color, it's likely to be blood," Ning Zhiyuan pointed the stain on his sleeve at the sunlight and looked at it carefully, raised his left hand and made a downward smashing motion, "The left cuff, if this person is left-handed, he will smash it down with an axe in his left hand, and blood will splash on the cuff." That's pretty much the location. ”

Chen Feng clenched his fists excitedly and said, "It's okay now, there is finally evidence." Ning Zhiyuan glanced at Chen Feng while stuffing his jacket into the evidence bag, "Don't be too happy, let the technician check it first." ”

Leaving Liu Lizhen's house, Ning Zhiyuan and Chen Feng went back to the village committee to pick up the car. Ning Zhiyuan asked Chen Feng to carry the fruit sent by Wang Qing the day before into the car. Chen Feng asked puzzledly, "What are you doing with fruit?" Gifts? "What kind of gift," Ning Zhiyuan glanced at Chen Feng, "There are Wang Qing's fingerprints on the fruit box." Chen Feng suddenly realized, and smiled, "No wonder you asked me to wear gloves to carry the box." ”

After Chen Feng drove the car out of Dawang Village, he asked Ning Zhiyuan: "Team Ning, shall we go to the county?" Ning Zhiyuan thought for a moment and shook his head and said, "If you don't go to the county, their instruments and equipment are limited after all, so go back to the bureau and hand it over to the technical department." Ning Zhiyuan called Song Ming and Wu Litao separately and asked them to ask what clothes Wang Qing was wearing on the night of the fire.

Just after one o'clock in the afternoon, Ning Zhiyuan and Chen Feng returned to the Public Security Bureau of D City, and after handing over the evidence to the technical department, Ning Zhiyuan came to the forensic office. Zhang Wei drank tea and looked at an academic magazine, saw Ning Zhiyuan enter the door, put down the magazine in his hand and looked Ning Zhiyuan up and down and said, "Didn't I see a ghost, why did you appear in my house in broad daylight?" ”

"How dare the ghost come to see you!" Ning Zhiyuan pulled a chair and sat at Zhang Wei's desk. Zhang Wei smiled, "That's too." Say, what's the matter with my brother? Ning Zhiyuan straightened his face and asked seriously: "Do you think the red mark on Liu Lizhen's neck could be strangled by a plastic bag?" ”

"Plastic bags?" Zhang Wei thought for a moment and took out a supermarket shopping bag from the drawer of his desk, compared it to his head, stood up and walked behind Ning Zhiyuan, raised his hand and put the shopping bag on Ning Zhiyuan's head. Ning Zhiyuan hurriedly stopped him, "What are you doing!" Don't experiment with me! ”

"I can only observe it on your head," Zhang Wei said with a serious face, "Don't you want to know the truth?" Ning Zhiyuan shook his head helplessly, pointed to the cabinet behind the desk and said, "Don't you have a mannequin?" ”

"yes, if you don't say it, I'll forget." Zhang Wei said as he opened the cabinet and took out a medical bust mannequin and placed it flat on the table, covering the model's head with a shopping bag. "No," Ning Zhiyuan touched his chin and shook his head, "It's impossible to completely close your head into a plastic bag at this angle, and it won't have the effect of suffocation." ”
