Chapter 18: Exoneration (Part II)
Zhou Yan secretly made a 'yes' gesture in his heart.
In fact, the day before yesterday, he instructed Lawyer Zou three things.
First: Convince the police to give yourself three hours to go to the scene of the crime and at the same time find the detective in charge of the case.
Second: Go through the case records of the guys who kidnapped you.
Third: Check Zhang's medical records in the hospital.
The first two points are the strategies he derived from the comments in the book, which he has said before, and will not be repeated now.
And the third point...... Zhou Yan naturally found inspiration in the book.
[Unknown reader: Was Zhang really stabbed to death?] Why use something so heavy? 】
When he saw this sentence at that time, Zhou Yan didn't pay much attention to it, but the more he thought about it afterwards, the more strange he felt.
It's like I said before...... If you just want to kill Zhang, there are too many methods, why use such a murderous method. The thickest part of the big iron drill has to be 5 centimeters, and the solid steel is difficult to move.
So, think about it from another perspective, will Zhang's death be so painstaking, will it be to hide something.
So, following this line of thought, coupled with the assumptions given by others, Zhou Yan asked Lawyer Zou to check Zhang's medical records over the years.
It also led to the clue that he had a heart attack, which seemed to have nothing to do with the cause of death, but was very important.
That's less to say.
Chen Hao was really angry when he saw Lawyer Zou and Zhou Yan talking with their eyes there again.
"You guys! What are you doing there? He yelled.
Zhou Yan smiled: "It's nothing, it's just that I went to check the case of the deceased." ”
"What are you doing with that?" Chen Hao shouted angrily.
"Of course, the cause of death has been determined." Zhou Yan smiled, and then looked at the others: "I suspect that Zhang died of a heart attack." ”
At this moment, the people present really couldn't be silent anymore.
This span is also too big, and people were obviously poked to death by an iron chisel, so how can it be a heart attack.
In the midst of a series of glances, Zhou Yan continued: "With this inconspicuous piece of information, my entire inference is very complete.
Here's how it happened!
At 6 o'clock in the evening on the day of the crime, Zhang walked out of the securities exchange and was arrested by three debt collectors because he owed too many debts.
Under the intimidation for four hours, Zhang had a heart attack and died instantly.
Now the three debt collectors panicked, they never expected to cause death. And at this time, a person thought of a way, and that was ...... Steal beams and change columns!
They were looking for a scapegoat.
So, the three debt collectors used the shortest time to find a person who also owed debts and did not pay them, that is, I ——— Zhou Yan!
They knocked me out and locked me up in this warehouse.
Next, one of the three debt collectors began to pretend to be Zhang, staged a [double secret room] in front of me, and after I fell asleep, he carried the real Zhang's body in.
At this point, it is the most critical step of the whole operation, that is...... They can't let the forensic doctor know the real cause of Zhang's death!
Therefore, they used that huge iron hammer to smash the chest of Zhang, who had died.
Because Zhang died of a heart attack, the body itself did not have any bleeding.
After the discovery of the body, the forensic doctor will naturally believe that Zhang died of a ruptured heart, so the time of death identification will be extrapolated based on a large amount of blood loss. ”
"Fart!" Just when Zhou Yan was talking about the key, Chen Hao suddenly interrupted him: "Even if your story can be justified, what about the door lock?" After the fake Zhang carried the real Zhang in, he went out by himself! Who re-fastened the lock in that door? ”
Zhou Yan said without panic: "No one buckled it, in fact, after the body was brought in that night, the door was not locked!" ”
"What did you say?!"
"I mean, no one locks the door at all!" Zhou Yan's voice slightly increased the volume: "That night, after the debt collector moved the body in, the fake Zhang put the lock in his pocket and went out directly, they don't need to lock the lock from the door anymore!" ”
Speaking of this, Lin Xi also nodded and said: "Indeed, although the testimony said that the door lock was sawn open, no one can guarantee that when the lock was sawn, it was locked outside the door or inside the door." I've been into a warehouse, and in that light, it's impossible to determine from a distance whether the door is locked or not. ”
"Then come closer, you can always see it when you get closer." Chen Hao said sharply.
"Are you crazy? The chainsaw is buzzing there, who would make do with the darkness and want to kill themselves? Zhou Yan also followed Chen Hao to raise his voice.
This time, Chen Hao was really suffocated.
He looked at Zhou Yan in a daze, then turned his head again, and his gaze swept over the faces of the others one by one, and finally ...... Hehe, that's ...... That's amazing!
His face suddenly changed, and he actually began to praise Zhou Yan: "It's really good, you can make up such a wonderful story out of thin air." ”
"It's not made up, and there's a lot of evidence to support my inference." Zhou Yan said.
"Evidence? Ahaha-" Chen Hao suddenly laughed: "Where is the evidence?" Because the iron drill is thick enough, it proves that it is to cover up the cause of death?
Or does anyone who has ever had a heart attack die of heart disease?
None of the little tricks you tell can be called evidence!
It's all about making up a story!
But the fingerprints on the murder weapon are genuine! ”
Zhou Yan frowned: "I said, someone entered the warehouse that night, and I was still unconscious, so the fingerprint was obviously pressed by someone holding my hand!" ”
"What about the evidence?" Chen Hao said: "It's been so long, and anything you said can't be confirmed...... Corpses, evidence, crime scenes, everything can't be proven for you! ”
Zhou Yan's eyebrows furrowed slightly......
Chen Hao looked at Zhou Yan and slowly straightened his waist: "Of course, I'm not saying that your inference is completely impossible, so ...... I will seriously think about the case, and I agree to extend your sentence, after all...... Detectives are a profession that exists to find out the truth. ”
Chen Hao said as he tidied up his clothes, and the whole person was like all the time in the past, Sven, confident, and gave people a sense of security.
But Zhou Yan could feel that between his eyes and smile, there was a disgusting taste of superiority.
"He's never going to retract my confession, he just wants to lock me in jail ......!" Zhou Yan thought so.
Then, he looked at Lawyer Zou.
At this time, lawyer Zou also frowned. Obviously, lawyer Zou will definitely do his best to help Zhou Yan for the sake of money, but this is also based on the feasibility of the rules.
It's like what Chen Hao just said...... It's been too long, even if Zhou Yan's idea is possible, but there is a lack of evidence!
"It's all done to this extent, can't it?" Zhou Yan asked Lawyer Zou.
"......" Lawyer Zou was silent for a long time, and in the end, he just said: "I'll go back and think about it, there is still a chance." ”
But anyone could hear the powerlessness in his tone.
And at this time...... Lin Xi seemed to have thought of something:
"I think there are still doubts in this case, if it is really as Zhou Yan said, changing the body, forging the secret room, and destroying the cause of death, are these methods too high-end, that group of people is just usury, how can they come up with such a clever plan in a short period of time?"
Chen Hao turned his head: "What do you want to say?" ”
Lin Xi raised his head: "I suspect that behind this matter, someone is helping them, this person is very smart, and he is familiar with the process of handling the case, and he is even more familiar with the knowledge of autopsy." ”
"Haha-" Chen Hao smiled: "Don't think about it, it's all said, it's just that kid's nonsense, how can anyone help a group of loan sharks......"
As he spoke, Chen Hao looked at the expensive watch on his wrist: "It's almost time, it's time to go back." ”
This sentence alerted the two officers, who realized that the time had come for the police station.
They hesitated, looked at Chen Hao, looked at Lawyer Zou again, and finally, walked towards Zhou Yan.
"Get in the car, it's time......"
With that, the two pressed Zhou Yan's shoulders and walked towards the prisoner car......
At this time, Zhou Yan's heart couldn't calm down at all......
Could it be that after all these efforts, there is still no way to live?
All the reasoning has been formed, only the evidence is missing!
However, just like Chen Hao said, it has been too long, and everything has lost its original effect with time.
Evidence!
Evidence!
Zhou Yan needs a proof that won't fade over time!
The prisoner car is getting closer and closer to Zhou Yan, and it seems that as long as he steps on the car, Zhou Yan's life will come to an end.
"No, I've done so much, I can't just give up!"
Suddenly, he stopped, and with great difficulty, his arms were stretched out, and he pulled out the book in the pocket of his prison uniform.
"I'm not alone......"
Zhou Yan muttered.
