Chapter 3: A Perfect Alibi
However, the employee also revealed another important information, that is, three months before the incident, Ou Na suddenly left the company. Rumor has it that there was a conflict within the small group, and the director was eventually torn apart, but the rest of the company felt that the war was started by Ou Na first. Ou Na seems to have an improper relationship with Gong Xiaohuan. Not long after they became the middle level of the company, I heard that Ou Na joined Gong Xiaohuan to deal with Lu Qi, it is said that it was because they couldn't get used to seeing Lu Qi alone and even rose to the position of the company's junior high-level level, after all, the remaining two people in the small group before had paid a lot.
However, in terms of brains, Lu Qi is more scheming, while setting traps to frame his predecessors, Lu Qi is also paving the way for his promotion, so in the end, he did get more benefits than Gong Xiaohuan and Ou Na. However, this special preferential treatment also caused a strong sense of imbalance in the hearts of the remaining two people, so soon the small group was divided. Ou Na and Gong Xiaohuan teamed up to design a trap so that Lu Qi almost suffered a loss in another business negotiation, but Lu Qi made two preparations and countered the two of them. However, Gong Xiaohuan turned back on the spot, and in the end, Gong Xiaohuan and Lu Qi rectified Ou Na, and Ou Na had no choice but to automatically submit her resignation application.
However, because of this incident, the company's senior management began to 'pay special attention' to Gong Xiaohuan and Lu Qi, these two people have not received any promotion opportunities since that time, Lu Qi is fortunate to have good ability and has maintained his position, but Gong Xiaohuan's status has been declining, if it weren't for his family's face, he should have found a way to sweep him out of the company. Anyway, since that incident, Gong Xiaohuan's divorce in the company has become more and more miserable.
However, these are not things that surprised Ban Que, she felt very surprised, and felt that Gong Xiaohuan was a scumbag, and it was Gong Xiaohuan's attitude towards his feelings, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he was a bastard. Although Gong Xiaohuan's appearance can't make people work, the strange thing is that his popularity as a woman has always been good, but the more scumbag point is that Gong Xiaohuan's biggest hobby is to get together with married women, and take the opportunity to blackmail those married men who are with him, even after he gets married, he still maintains this kind of betrayal of morality. cheating in marriage and destroying other people's families, in Ban Que's words, Gong Xiaohuan is a fighter among the scumbags.
When the clerk was drunk, he told Ban Que that whether it was Ou Na or Lu Qi, the two of them had their own marriages and families. So you know, Gong Xiaohuan is like a shark smelling fishy when he sees the two of them, but it feels like Gong Xiaohuan seems to like Ou Na more, which is not surprising why he formed an alliance with Ou Na in the first place, and privately told Ou Na about some of Lu Qi's more secret black materials, and the details of some projects that Lu Qi is doing, he revealed them to Ou Na, if it weren't for Lu Qi's preparation because of the lessons learned from the past and his suspicions, maybe in that intra-group struggle, the ending would not have been reversed. The person who left may be Lu Qi. However, Ou Na herself is not a fuel-efficient lamp, she still has the evidence of Lu Qi's embezzlement provided by Gong Xiaohuan in her hand, although it is not direct evidence, and Lu Qi also planted this matter on an old-timer who has left, but these evidences are still like a thorn in Lu Qi's heart, but it is also because of these evidences that Lu Qi did not make a move on Gong Xiaohuan in the end, Gong Xiaohuan did not give all the evidence to Ou Na, he held some other more lethal evidence in his hand, However, he didn't seem to plan to hand it over to the company, but kidnapped Lu Qi financially and emotionally as a condition for blackmailing Lu Qi. So before the clerk drank too much and was about to fall asleep, he told Banque that when the people in the company first heard that Gong Xiaohuan died in the express hotel, although they were afraid of getting into trouble, they all said that Gong Xiaohuan was a good person and had no enemies, but they all knew that the biggest benefit from Gong Xiaohuan's death was Lu Qi, who had been blackmailed by him. However, because Lu Qi himself is more insidious, everyone is afraid of accidents, so they don't tell the police the truth. So when they saw Lu Qi dead in the office, they would be particularly alarmed, especially when they heard that Lu Qi was written a '2' by the murderer, they overturned the previous speculation that Lu Qi was the murderer, and instead attributed the death of the two to the curse of their predecessors.
When Ban Que and I later discussed these things, my first reaction was to confirm Ou Na's situation, and I vaguely felt in my heart that the case was not over yet, and Ou Na might become the third deceased. Ban Que used his network to find Ou Na's current address, but he also knew that Ou Na was in a marriage crisis.
Only then did we know that the reason why Lu Qi was able to win back a game and keep her position was because she held the evidence of Gong Xiaohuan's fornication in Ou Na's box, and sent these evidences to Ou Na's husband. After Erna left the company, she and her husband have been divorcing again.
In addition, after Ou Na left her job, she went to another company to apply for a job, I don't know if it's a coincidence, Ou Na later joined the company that was responsible for the maintenance of electronic equipment, and the electronic equipment maintenance of the express hotel where Gong Xiaohuan had an accident was done by the company where Ou Na worked, in this way, Ou Na became the biggest suspect in the real signature. However, before we could begin an investigation into him, Ona became the third victim, and she died.
Ou Na died in her bathtub, on the tile wall next to the bathtub, the murderer wrote a printed Arabic numeral '3', and later after the laboratory in the real yàn room, the number '3' was written in Gong Xiaohuan's blood. When Ona was discovered, the water in the bathtub had turned red with blood flowing from his wrists, and the whole scene looked strange and terrifying. Especially the big Arabic numeral '3', the whole scene looks like some kind of ritual going on.
In this way, the police can be sure that the same murderer killed the three people, and after killing Gong Xiaohuan, he took a part of Gong Xiaohuan's blood, and then after each killing, they would use the blood to mark the order of the deceased. Soon, the police searched for melons and found out the news that Ban Que had found out from the company's employees before. I also heard about the curse that apparently had no basis.
Although the curse had no basis, it provided a seemingly valuable clue to the police, and the fact that all three people died, and the old employees of the company who knew the ins and outs of the matter were even more convinced of the authenticity of the curse, all of which had a detrimental effect on the company veteran who had inadvertently spoken angrily. And the old-timer did not have any alibi at the time of the death of these three people, the old-timer lived alone in an apartment, the community where he lived was not monitored at that time, and he was unique, except for himself, no one could prove that what he said was true, but there was no one with a needle to prove that he really had a direct connection with the incident, and there was only one motive that could not be called a motive. Therefore, Gin Fang couldn't arrest people immediately, but secretly arranged eyeliner around his residence, hoping to find some clues. But after observing for a week, they did not find any evidence, and during this period, they found that on the night of Gong Xiaohuan's accident, the old-timers had gone to the convenience store downstairs to buy cigarettes at the same time as Gong Xiaohuan's beginning, and the monitoring in the convenience store could prove this.
The suspicions of the company's predecessors were also cleared, and the investigation was once again deadlocked.
Putting aside the curse, looking at Ona's autopsy, a residue of barbiturates was also found in Ona's stomach. The wound on the wrist was forensically examined and found to have been scratched. The wound is on the left hand, but the wound on the wrist is from the inside of the wrist to the outside of the wrist, that is, from the right side of the right wrist to the left, and from the direction of the wound, the murderer is left-handed. Coupled with the fact that there were no traces of O'Na's struggle, it was further verified that O'Na was put in the bathtub after being stunned by the drug, and bled to death after cutting her wrists. The murderer cut Ou Na's wrist several times, which is the same as the modus operandi found on Gong Xiaohuan's corpse, indicating that the murderer is not only careless and skilled in the modus operandi, but also can be seen as the murderer venting his anger.
According to the information we obtained, Ban Que and I had another point of view at that time, although this view could not explain Lu Qi's death, but it could explain the murderer's motive in the murder of Gong Xiaohuan and Ou Na - love killing. After having this conjecture, we separately investigated the whereabouts of Gong Xiaohuan and Ou Na's partner on the day of the incident.
First of all, Gong Xiaohuan's new wife Liu Yiyi, will she be the killer after learning that her husband is having an affair? But the police have long done an investigation because of their suspicion of Liu Yiyi, on the night of Gong Xiaohuan's death, Liu Yiyi attended the celebration dinner of their subsidiary in S City at a KTV in another city of S City, Liu Yiyi, as the executive of the dinner, stayed with other employees in the KTV all night, and did not leave the singing room until half past two in the morning, as everyone present at the time can testify to this. And even if you secretly leave halfway while others are not paying attention, you will never be able to return to City B to kill people and then return to City S. First of all, the distance between City B and City S also consumes 3 and a half hours by plane, and it takes 7 hours to go back and forth, and it takes at least 40 minutes to get from KTV to the airport, and the distance to the hotel after getting off the plane takes an hour, the whole process adds up to 10 hours and 20 minutes, the celebration banquet started at 7 pm on the day of the crime, everyone and the surveillance video captured Liu Yiyi's appearance at the scene that night, and the invalidity of the time of the crime also provided Liu Yiyi with an alibi.
In addition, for Ou Na's husband, because Ou Na has been talking about divorce with her husband, there is also a motive for the crime, but on the day of Ou Na's death, Ou Na's husband has been working overtime in the company until 3 o'clock in the morning, and the surveillance in the office has provided support for his statement. And Ou Na was killed at 11 p.m. the night before, so the suspicion of Ou Na's husband was also ruled out.
Although the suspicion of their partner's murder was ruled out, Ban Que confirmed that the two people were still suspicious, first of all, although the two did not provide alibi on the day of their respective partner's accident, no one asked them where they were at the time of the other partner's accident. Especially when Ou Na died, we found Liu Yiyi's car in the monitoring function records of the community. For the sake of safety, we lacked this clue again, but the confirmed clue proved that Liu Yiyi was not at the scene that day. Although Liu Yiyi's car appeared in Ouna's community, Liu Yiyi herself did hang a drip in the hospital because of gastroenteritis that day. The hospital's registration and payment records became proof of Liu Yiyi's alibi.
On the other hand, Ou Na's husband, although there is no clear alibi, but on the day of Gong Xiaohuan's death, the surveillance video of the community did also capture him going home, and he didn't leave until half past seven the next morning.
Even so, Ban Que still had great doubts at that time, especially for the fact that Liu Yiyi's car appeared in the community where Ou Na lived, Ban Que felt very wrong at that time.
Why did Liu Yiyi's car appear in the neighborhood where Erna lives? With this doubt, we went to investigate the community and found that there was a lady named Wan Xue in that community who was friends with Liu Yiyi, but there was no evidence to prove that Liu Yiyi lent a car to Wan Xue that day. Because in order to save money, the property in that community is installed with the kind of monitoring that the imaging effect is not very good, so we can only vaguely see that it is a lady who is driving, and we can't conclude that it is Wan Xue.
However, because the car drove out of the community on the same day, Banque asked someone to see the car and go there, and according to the tracking, it was found that Liu Yiyi's car finally drove to a wetland park in the southern suburbs, where there was a parent-child activity organized by a club that day. We saw the names of Wan Xue and his children in the member sign-in sheet of that parent-child activity, so Liu Yiyi did borrow a car to her best friend Wan Xue that day.
But soon we found out that something was wrong, that is, we didn't see any traces of Liu Yiyi leaving the community, and if she didn't leave, how could she stay in the hospital for a day? At the time, I thought it was very strange, but Ban Que said that it was possible that Zhang Xue drove the car directly from Liu Yiyi's house, and Liu Yiyi may have never been to that community, so there is no problem that Zài came out of that community.
In this way, all suspicious people are ruled out of suspicion of committing crimes, although Ban also feels that these seemingly perfect alibi appear very deliberately, but he can't find evidence to refute it, so we have focused on Lu Qi's death, if the death of Ou Na and Gong Xiaohuan can be explained as a vendetta, then what is Lu Qi's death motive besides revenge? And the number next to their corpses, why did it appear? Will there be a fourth deceased? (To be continued.) )
