Chapter Eighty-Five: Trying to Cover Up

[Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, Xiao Mo wishes everyone a good Year of the Monkey, and their academic careers have won "Qi Tian Great Victory"! ] 】

Dai Xu motioned for Jiang Hongliang to sit down and speak slowly, but Jiang Hongliang refused, stood there stubbornly, took out a thin stack of hundred-yuan bills from his arms, and a necklace, and put them on the table in front of Dai Xu with a sad face.

"I haven't eaten well in the past two days, and I haven't slept well, not to mention how unsteady I am in my heart," he pushed the money and necklace towards Dai Xu again, "I regret it, why am I so confused, I was greedy for this little bargain at the beginning, you said to provoke this body of sass!" Even if you haven't had time to settle accounts with me, I'm ...... I'd better take the initiative to get dirty myself, so that I can feel a little more grounded in my heart! Anyway, I realized my mistake, and I have absolutely nothing to say about whether you want to detain me or send me to prison in the future! ”

Dai Xu took the stack of money and counted it, no more, no less, exactly ten, a thousand yuan, although the style of the necklace is simple, but from the perspective of texture, it is naturally not the grade of dozens of yuan in a small roadside shop. He raised his eyes to look at Jiang Hongliang, and asked with a smile: "You returned the necklace, Miao Qiulian has no opinion?" ”

"I didn't dare let her know!" Jiang Hongliang still has a bitter gourd face, as if this expression has been fixed on his face and can no longer be changed, "She doesn't like this necklace much, even if it is not in front of Zhao Yinghua, she is not too reluctant to take it out and wear it, so she secretly takes it out and puts it on, and stinks and stinks in the mirror or something." I think so, just because she likes this necklace. Even if I told her I stole it, she would have to make me die so she could keep the necklace! But I really don't dare. Don't be kidding, although Xiaolian is very good to me, but I guess the price of this necklace may not be much cheaper than the 1,000 yuan that Zhao Yinghua's ex-boyfriend gave me, if I don't give it back, if I really say that I have to do a year in prison for this or something, I don't want to! So...... I stole her out while she was at work. ”

"What about the thousand dollars?" Fang Yuan looked at the money on the table, as far as she knew. Jiang Hongliang has not had any proper work for a long time, and naturally he has no income, and he has always relied on Miao Qiulian's salary from working outside to maintain the living expenses of the two of them. And Miao Qiulian's income is really not high, if a necklace of empty gloves and white wolves needs to be taken out by Jiang Hongliang secretly, Fang Yuan thinks that it is unlikely that he can ask for a thousand yuan from Miao Qiulian and take it to the Public Security Bureau to return to the dirty.

Really. Jiang Hongliang wore the bitter gourd face that had remained unchanged since they met today. replied listlessly: "I borrowed this thousand yuan from a friend, I didn't dare to let Xiaolian know, she has been uneasy recently because of things at home, she is not in a good mood or anything, and her temper is quite big, I didn't dare to tell her about my previous affair with Zhao Yinghua's ex-boyfriend." By the way, Officer Dai, Officer Fang. Then I'm really dirty, and the bag and bracelet that kid took away are not in my hands. There's no way I'm going to solve this. I admit that I stole the things, but I was also instructed by him, these are two accounts, right? For the sake of my good attitude of admitting my mistakes, please be lenient on me, I will be one yard with that kid! ”

"Let's talk about this matter later, you also know that now the theft is small, and Zhao Yinghua's life is big," Dai Xu waved his hand at him, without giving Jiang Hongliang any promises, but changed his words and suddenly asked, "Do you remember the night when Zhao Yinghua was killed, did Miao Qiulian go home halfway at night?" ”

Jiang Hongliang was stunned for a moment, thought about it, and shook his head: "I don't know this, I was very sleepy after drinking beer that day, you know this, and then I went to sleep, and I don't know anything about the rest." ”

"Can you remember what time you drank that night?"

Jiang Hongliang recalled for a while, and said in a more determined tone: "I remember that it was around ten o'clock in the evening, or it could be almost ten o'clock, or it could be just after ten o'clock, but it was before and after, and I don't remember if it was too specific." ”

"Got it, you can hand over the money and necklace to us, and we'll talk about the rest later, okay?" Dai Xu nodded, as if he was not interested in Jiang Hongliang's theft of Zhao Yinghua's property.

Jiang Hongliang nodded suspiciously, and left the criminal police team with a bitter gourd face.

"We've met him a few times, and this is the first time I've seen him with such a sad face." After Fang Yuan waited for Jiang Hongliang to leave, he and Dai Xu collected the money and necklace together, and said to Dai Xu casually.

Dai Xu seemed to be thinking about something, listened to her words, came back to his senses, nodded, put away the necklace and money, and then motioned for Fang Yuan to go with him to Forensic Doctor Liu's side. Fang Yuan hurriedly responded, and went to Forensic Doctor Liu with Dai Xu, and the three of them discussed together for a long time, and when they came out of Forensic Doctor Liu, Dai Xu's expression was a little more determined, and Fang Yuan became the thoughtful one instead, her mind kept turning on the matter of the metabolism rate of alcohol and sedatives in the human body that Dai Xu and Forensic Doctor Liu had just discussed, and the idea that there was still some hazy and ethereal began to become clearer and clearer.

"Where are we going now? Do you still check the purchase channels of sedatives? She asked Dai Xu.

Dai Xu shook his head: "Don't check, let's go to Zhao Yinghua and talk to the neighbors around them, maybe there will be a harvest, the prescription of sedatives is still relatively strict, without a doctor's prescription, it is not easy to buy, lying about sleep disorders to see a doctor, and the goal will be too eye-catching, but if you don't buy it, it will be easy." ”

Fang Yuan already had an idea in his heart, and now when he heard Dai Xu say this, he felt that it was a little clear, and the original unclear thoughts seemed to have been stripped of another layer of thin veil, becoming clearer and clearer.

The two of them drove to the vicinity of the crime scene again, visited and questioned the families who had talked to them and provided them with a little information, and sure enough, they inquired about one of the families. The hostess of this family has always had a very serious sleep disorder and often has insomnia all night, so the family is often prescribed by a doctor. I bought it from the hospital [River Crab] tablets, but because I have taken it for a long time, the dosage is relatively large, and the family does not have an accurate statement on how many grains there are, but what can be determined is that because the child will not eat indiscriminately when he is older. The family put the medicine next to the cup of cold water on the dining table, which can be said to be readily available.

After leaving the homes of the residents around the scene of the crime, Dai Xu drove Fang Yuan to his next destination. In the picture, his brows kept frowning slightly, and only after Fang Yuan's questioning did he say to Fang Yuan, "Let's investigate this time." It's really been bypassed into a big misunderstanding. Are you aware of this problem? ”

"It's a little bit like that, but it's a little bit unclear what the problem is." Fang Yuan replied truthfully.

Dai Xu sighed: "The problem lies in the fact that there are so many distinctive features in this case, whether it is a few knives in the body, an inch missing, or a room full of red paint, it has caused too much impact on our thinking, and this impact is probably more serious than we initially thought, so although we have repeatedly wanted to be undisturbed." Remain rational and objective, or subtly confused. this case. Putting aside the phenomenon and looking at the essence, excluding those particularly eye-catching features, in fact, the flaws in it are still relatively obvious. ”

Fang Yuan was stunned for a moment, some of the problems found in the past few days of investigation came to her mind, and she suddenly had a feeling of enlightenment, she couldn't help but pat her thigh: "So the key point is the sedative itself!" ”

Dai Xu nodded: "This is the biggest misunderstanding, plus the others, we will be misled." ”

When he said this, Dai Xu's mood was not too high, and he didn't have the kind of excitement that sorted out his thoughts and was ready to make a breakthrough. Fang Yuan had been with him for a long time, and he still had a certain understanding of his character, knowing that although he didn't like to be in the limelight and didn't like to be a bird, he was also very confident in his IQ and mind, and now he had come full circle, realizing that in fact, many of the previous investigation ideas were misled and blinded, which was not a pleasant thing for Dai Xu.

"In fact, anyone will be confused by the external performance of this case, after all, there are so many distinctive features, who dares to exclude them from the beginning. You're right? Fang Yuan comforted Dai Xu and said.

Dai Xu turned his head to look at her, smiled, reached out and rubbed the top of Fang Yuan's head affectionately, and didn't say anything.

The next thing you need to do is to find the source of the purchase of the paint, so that you can confirm who the person who bought the paint is, especially now that they have a clear range in their hearts, with the clues that the person who sells the paint can provide, it is easier to clarify the identity of the other party.

After the confirmation of criminal technology, the three paint buckets found were completely consistent with the proportion of red paint at the scene of the crime, and it can be determined that the paint at the scene came from these three empty barrels. This is also a good thing for them, because the more shops that sell this brand of paint, the easier it is to investigate.

After going to several home improvement and building materials markets and other places, they finally found a few shops that sold this brand of paint, and after inquiry, they excluded several of the stores that had not sold the brand's red paint in recent times, and asked one by one from the remaining four or five, and finally the clerk of one store recalled the buyers who matched Dai Xu's expectations. According to the clerk's recollections, this person did come to buy three barrels of red paint some time ago, and when choosing a paint brand, he also deliberately emphasized that he wanted the cheapest, so the clerk recommended this cheap paint. Although the price of paint is not high, the clerk said that the man is still very stingy, constantly bargaining with him, not only refusing to give a fraction of the total price, but even after paying the money, he also grinds a pair of gloves to the clerk.

After asking the clerk to carefully identify the photo and confirm that the person who bought the paint was the same person in the photo, Dai Xu and Fang Yuan got together with Tang Hongye and Tang Li to communicate the progress, and then discussed and decided that Dai Xu and Fang Yuan went to find Yao Xiangyang, and Tang Hongye and Tang Li went to find the two ladies among the other people who attended the party together on the night of Zhao Yinghua's murder, the reason is very simple, most of the time, there are obvious gender differences in the way of thinking between men and women, Women may be more nuanced than men in observing the tone and demeanor of the people around them, and they are more profound, so finding the two ladies to understand some of the details of the evening again may have a multiplier effect.

After the division of labor was clarified, the four of them went their separate ways. found Yao Xiangyang again, Yao Xiangyang still showed a little nervousness when he saw Dai Xu and Fang Yuan, he was afraid that Dai Xu would mention those things between himself and Zhao Yinghua in his factory, and proposed to go to the teahouse to chat, but this time Dai Xu refused, took him to the car parked in the yard, and seized the time to communicate.

Dai Xu asked Yao Xiangyang about the time when he and Zhao Yinghua still kept in touch with each other and sent Zhao Yinghua home, although Yao Xiangyang was confused, but he didn't dare to ask too much, and answered hesitantly, saying that he could meet Zhao Yinghua's roommate almost every time, but looking at the other party's appearance, he was not very classy, so he never said hello. Dai Xu asked if Zhao Yinghua had behaved in any unusual manner in the period before Zhao Yinghua was killed, mainly referring to emotions. Yao Xiangyang recalled for a long time, and finally said with a little uncertainty, he vaguely remembered that about a week or so before Zhao Yinghua was killed, there was a day when he was suddenly not in a good mood, he was very absent-minded, and seemed to be a little annoyed, but he kept covering it up, he saw it and felt a little puzzled, but after all, the two people had broken off that layer of relationship, as long as it was not related to work, it was inconvenient for him as a boss to ask too many female employees about their private affairs, and the two of them had been separated. If it was because of what involved it was that "the spring breeze blew and gave birth", he was also afraid of trouble, so he didn't ask in detail.

Tang Li and Tang Hongye did not run in vain, Tian Fangrui and Zeng Yanyan also showed more cooperation, trying to recall some of the circumstances that night, although they were not sure whether there was any love in their attitude, but at least both of them agreed that this person's performance that night was a bit obscene [River Crab] trivial, not to mention anything else, it can be seen from the eyes alone that the other party is not a character with peace of mind.
