Chapter 53: The First Suspect
γFormer Residence of Mountains and Rivers, 11 p.m.γ
It took about half an hour for Ling Yu and the others to sort out the timeline for everyone present. At the same time, it was preliminarily determined that the time of Lin Zipei's death was set within the five minutes of 9:40 to 9:45 in the evening. And most likely, it was the accident caused by the loud bang at 9:45, and the chandelier smashed on the back of his head.
However, even if the truth of the matter is like this, the deceased was hit by the chandelier and died unexpectedly, but there is also a hypothesis that someone deliberately designed the chandelier to kill Lin Zipei, the reason for this thinking is that the deceased's movements when he died were too strange, according to Yao Jingwen, she left the room at 9:40 because she couldn't sleep because of the heavy smell of smoke in the room, which means that Lin Zipei may have slept at that time.
But at the scene of the crime, she did lie on her stomach. It's strange to think about that. If Yao Jingwen's statement is correct, Lin Zipei was still alive at 9:40 and was sleeping in bed, if this matter was man-made, someone deliberately framed Lin Zipei, then the time for him to commit the crime was only in the five minutes from 9:40 to 9:45.
"Mrs. Yao, let me ask you one last time, are you sure that Mr. Lin was sleeping in bed when you left the room at 9:40?" Ling Yu looked at Yao Jingwen, who was standing next to Lin Xiao, and asked her, because she might be the last person to see the deceased before her death.
"Sure!" Yao Jingwen looked at Ling Yu's eyes. Then she had a disgusted look on her face: "No, I said that you asked me so, are you doubting me?" How could I kill my own husband! If you talk nonsense, beware of me suing you for slander! After Yao Jingwen finished speaking, she hugged Lin Xiao, because everyone could see that there was still a panicked look in Lin Xiao's eyes.
Although Lin Zipei is not her biological father, she has been in contact with him since she was very young, and in her heart, he has long been her biological father, although he is usually a little willful and squeamish, but he can be forgiven by Lin Zipei. Lin Zipei died, except for Yao Jingwen, the most uncomfortable thing was Lin Xiao.
"Oh, Mrs. Yao, don't get me wrong, we're just confirming." Seeing Yao Jingwen, whose face was wrong, Shu Xiaoran hurriedly stepped forward to explain.
Then Ling Yu, Chu Ming and Shu Xiaoran began to think, and after confirming with Yao Jingwen, the time of death was set for the time period between nine forty and nine thirty in the evening.
So in this time period, according to the statements of the few people just now, Lin Mu, Yao Jingwen and Yang Zixuan are all in the hall, they can prove to each other that there is no time to commit the crime, and Dong Jiali and Lin Xiao claimed to be in their own room, and they came out of their room because of a loud noise, but no one can prove their testimony for them. Then there is Steward Zhang, who said that he was still wandering around the villa during that time period, and no one could prove this for him.
Therefore, there are currently three people suspected of killing Lin Zipei, namely Dong Jiali, Lin Xiao, and Steward Zhang.
"Officer, Lin Xiao can't be the murderer, no matter what, it's her father."
Seeing that Lin Xiao was suspected, Lin Mu was the first to stand up and explain to Ling Yu that although this sister is usually more willful, but at this time, being an elder brother naturally can't bear to watch her being wronged.
After Lin Mu finished speaking, Ling Yu said to him:
"I'm sorry Mr. Lin, when we handle cases, we always look at evidence, and we don't talk through emotion!" Ling Yu's words were sharp, like a knife that had been bladed.
Lin Xiao, who fell in Yang Zixuan's arms, heard Lin Mu's words, if she knew that Lin Mu was doing this to her, she would definitely jump up happily, and she would not have fallen into Yang Zixuan's arms normally. But now, there is only one thing left in his eyes - fear!
"It's you! You must have killed him! β
After Ling Yu finished speaking, there was a sharp voice again! With the direction from which the voice came, everyone cast their gazes. It was Yao Jingwen who spoke, and she pointed to Dong Jiali, who was beside Lin Mu, and said sharply.
And Dong Jiali seemed to be frightened by this accusation, she couldn't help but point to herself and look at Yao Jingwen and the policemen in front of her: "You mean me?" β
Yao Jingwen seemed to be crazy: "That's right! That's you, woman! You must have killed Lin Zipei! β
"Auntie, you can't talk nonsense, although our two families usually have a bit of a holiday, but we won't declare a personal vendetta at this time!" Lin Mu is defending his mother.
Yao Jingwen said: "I'm talking nonsense? Don't you know what your mother's eyes look at your uncle! She must be haunted by what happened two years ago and wants to find Zipei for revenge! β
Hearing Yao Jingwen say this, Lin Mu admitted that he did notice that his mother had an angry look when she looked at Lin Zipei, and she wanted to crush it. But I never knew why. Similarly, Yang Zixuan noticed this when she first entered the door.
Lin Mu didn't speak again, and Dong Jiali was speechless, but the expression on her face was very innocent.
"Mrs. Dong, can you tell us what is there between you and Lin Zipei that everyone doesn't know?" Chu Ming asked Dong Jiali.
Dong Jiali replied hesitantly: "I...... This ...... "looked at her as if she couldn't say anything, and at the same time she looked at Yang Zixuan, as if she was afraid of her.
"Mrs. Dong, it's better for me to talk about it." Yang Zixuan stepped forward.
Dong Jiali suddenly chuckled in her heart, and Lin Mu also cast a surprised gaze.
Yang Zixuan stepped forward, took out her mobile phone, opened the photo album inside, presented it in front of Ling Yu and everyone, and showed it to them. The content of the photograph is the information of a newspaper.
"This is a newspaper from two years ago, I found it in the bag in Mrs. Dong's room, I'm sorry Mrs. Dong rummaged through your bag without your consent." Yang Zixuan bowed to Dong Jiali and apologized, but Dong Jiali looked very nervous and did not speak.
Yang Zixuan went on to say:
"The above content is a description of the incident of Lin Ziyuan, the former chairman of the Lin Group, jumping off the building two years ago, and the above mentioned company had financial loopholes due to internal operational problems, and finally because there was no money to repay, the chairman was forced to commit suicide."
Yang Zixuan looked at Dong Jiali, paying attention to the expression on her face, Dong Jiali still didn't speak. Then Yang Zixuan opened another picture. The picture above is a chat log of two people. She handed the record to Ling Yu, Ling Yu took the phone, she really wanted to know the truth about Lin Ziyuan jumping off the building two years ago, and the purpose of letting Yang Zixuan come was also for this case, but she didn't expect that there would be one more case.
Ling Yu looked at the chat record on Yang Zixuan's mobile phone:
Lin Ziyuan: "Zipei, I don't want this kind of thing to happen in the company." β
Lin Zipei: "Okay brother, don't say it's so useless, if I was the one who took over as the chairman of the Lin Group, this kind of problem would not have occurred!" β
Lin Ziyuan: "But now that the matter has come out, we have to find a way to solve it, don't we?" β
Lin Zipei: "What can be done, because of your mistakes, the company owes such a huge amount of money all of a sudden, you tell me how to solve it!" β
Lin Ziyuan: "I've already looked for my father, although he hasn't agreed yet, but this is the Lin Group that he runs single-handedly, I don't think he will care." β
Lin Zipei: "You dare to mention your father, what kind of face do you have to go to your father, this is your own business!" β
Lin Ziyuan: "Then you tell me what to do!" β
Lin Zipei: "Didn't you have an insurance policy before?" As long as you die, there will be a large inflow of money into the company! β
Lin Ziyuan: "You let me die?" How could you say such a thing? β
Lin Zipei: "If you do something yourself, you have to bear these consequences!" It's not me forcing you, the Lin Group has this day thanks to you! β
Lin Ziyuan: "Is it only if I die, the company will be able to survive this difficulty!" β
Lin Zipei: "Don't worry, after your death, I will definitely run the company well, and it will be even better than what you did!" β
Lin Ziyuan: "Okay! I hope you do what you say! β
Lin Zipei: "I hope you will do what you say!" β
After reading the chat record above, Lin Mu suddenly stepped forward and looked at Yao Jingwen: "Could it be that my father was really ...... by my uncle" Yao Jingwen did not speak, but looked at Dong Jiali with a treacherous smile.
Yang Zixuan hadn't finished speaking, she took the phone back into her hand and looked at Dong Jiali:
"Mrs. Dong, this record was found in another mobile phone under the pillow in your room, plus the newspaper just now, it is all yours, you have no doubt about this."
Dong Jiali shook her head.
Yang Zixuan continued:
"Okay, that means that you already knew that your husband's death two years ago was related to Lin Zipei, right? Do you think that Lin Zipei forced her husband to death, so she kept looking at Lin Zipei with that kind of eyes, right? β
"Yes!" Dong Jiali suddenly raised her head. There were tears in his eyes, and a few of them had already flowed inadvertently. After that, Dong Jiali continued:
"After my husband committed suicide by jumping off a building two years ago, this issue of the newspaper was published immediately, and then I saw all kinds of speculation and slander in the media about my husband's death, but even if Ziyuan of my bureau has no money, it will not reach the point of jumping off the building, so I have been investigating this matter since two years ago."
"A year ago, I found these chat logs in Lin Zipei's office mobile phone! At that time, I realized that Ziyuan was forced to death by his own brother! β
After Dong Jiali finished speaking, there seemed to be anger in her nasal cavity, and the hot air exhaled from her nasal cavity and merged with the tears on her face. Yang Zixuan looked at Dong Jiali and continued to say to her:
"So, you think that Lin Zipei forced her husband to death, and you feel unfair for your husband, so you want to kill Lin Zipei, this is your motive for killing, can I think so, right?"
"Mom! Are you really? After listening to Yang Zixuan's words, Lin Mu looked at his current situation, and he didn't want to believe that his mother was a murderer.
But after Lin Mu finished speaking, Dong Jiali closed her eyes and shook her head: "No! β
"Huh?" Yang Zixuan was waiting for Dong Jiali to continue.
"As you said, I think it was Lin Zipei's words that forced my husband to death, I also looked for Lin Zipei a few months ago and told him about it, but he didn't admit it at all, he said that these records were not made by him and Ziyuan, I don't believe it, I thought it was an excuse for him to escape, he just didn't admit it."
"After that, I saw him as if I had seen an enemy, but he kept avoiding my eyes, and there were a few times when I really believed that those records were really not sent by him to Ziyuan, but thinking that Ziyuan died so miserably, I really can't forgive him! So when I heard that Lin Shanhe was going to gather all his relatives about the inheritance, I concluded that Lin Zipei would also come, so I really wanted to find an opportunity to kill him today! β
"If you say that, you originally wanted to kill Lin Zipei, but Lin Zipei died before you could do it, is that so?" Ling Yu asked Dong Jiali.
Dong Jiali replied: "That's right, I originally wanted to kill Lin Zipei when everyone was looking for clues, but he has been with Yao Jingwen all the time, and I can't do it, so I want to wait for him to fall asleep and kill Yao Jingwen when he is not by his side." β
"Then why didn't you kill Lin Zipei as you originally thought, and how did you know that Yao Jingwen would not be by his side." Chu Ming, who was beside Ling Yu, asked her.
"According to Yao Jingwen's temperament, she will not give up any time to find an inheritance, although she is not very sure, but she just thinks so, so after seeing Yang Zixuan enter the grocery room, I went back to my room, wanting to find an opportunity to kill Lin Zipei, but when I returned to the room, I found that both my bag and my pillow had been moved, which means that someone looked at what I hid, if Lin Zipei was killed by me, then they would definitely suspect my head, Therefore, I dismissed the idea of killing Lin Zipei! But I didn't expect him to die. β
After Dong Jiali finished speaking, Ling Yu fell into deep thought again, no wonder she saw Dong Jiali's panicked eyes just now, it turned out that she was afraid of being suspected. But what she says isn't necessarily true. Probably deliberately said this in order to escape suspicion.
However, according to Yang Zixuan's words, those evidences are all in front of everyone, Dong Jiali does have the suspicion and motive of killing Lin Zipei! It seems that the specific situation will have to be taken at the scene again, and maybe something will be found.
Just when a few people were about to leave, they suddenly found that during the interrogation, Qin Jian had disappeared, and Ling Yu couldn't help but wonder, where did this guy go?
