27. Witnesses
Nearly half a month after Fang Ming's death, the first witness appeared.
The witness was a thirteen-year-old boy who lived in the same neighborhood as Fang Ming, and the boy said that when he came back from the Internet café, he saw Fang Ming walking out with a box when he entered the community, and he looked at him at that time, and it was indeed exactly the same as the person who died.
This is a very important clue, this eyewitness boy is called Li Qiang, he was accompanied by his grandmother to report the case, and Li Qiang is very tall, if his grandmother doesn't say it, he really can't tell that he is only thirteen years old, and he looks fifteen or sixteen years old. As for why Li Qiang went home so late and no one cared, the main reason was that his grandmother couldn't take care of him alone, and Li Qiang didn't study well, and often went online all night until late at night, and just happened to bump into Fang Ming when he went home that day.
We took Fang Ming's photo and showed it to Li Qiang, who said that he saw this person that night.
So we asked for detailed details, Li Qiang met Fang Ming at the gate of the community, when Fang Ming dragged the box containing his body at the end, and we compared the time when Li Qiang described this, and the time of the video recorded by Fang Ming himself can be consistent, but in the video recorded by Fang Ming himself, there is no trace of this box.
So the question now is, after my master and I left, where did Fang Ming drag this box to, and where was he killed and put in a suitcase and dumped his body?
The original strange case became even more strange after having Li Qiang, a witness, from the time of Fang Ming's death, it was inferred that he was killed an hour after this, that is to say, it was impossible for him to go far, then the place of death should be near the community, because if it is calculated according to a round trip, it can only be half an hour away at most, Fang Ming left the community, was killed, and then was thrown to the scene, more than an hour, where did he go for more than an hour?
Zhang Ziang said: "I think instead of thinking about where he went, it is better to start with who he met. ”
I said, "If he did see someone at the time, then the person he went to see was the murderer." It's just that I don't understand a little, why did Fang Ming drag the suitcase to see this person, it was because he already knew that he was going to die, so he dragged the suitcase and let the person he saw pretend to be his own body? Or did he not even know that he was going to die, so why did he go out with his suitcase in tow? ”
Judging by the current clues, the first inference seems unlikely, and the second is more likely. After a long while, Zhang Ziang, who had been silent, suddenly said: "If he really didn't know that he would die in an hour, then he dragged his suitcase out, maybe this suitcase was originally used to throw corpses?" ”
I immediately understood what Zhang Ziang meant, and I said, "You mean that Fang Ming knew that this suitcase was used to hold corpses, and he dragged the suitcase out to throw corpses, but what he didn't know was that it was he who died, didn't he?" ”
Zhang Ziang said: "Then this makes sense. ”
I asked, "What makes sense?" ”
Zhang Ziang said: "You see, on the timeline of your dispatch to the police, there was a report from Fang Ming's family first, and then Li Haozong reported that there was someone in his family. But what about the real timeline of death, it was Li Haozong who died first, and the suspected murderer pretended to be Li Haozong, deliberately creating the illusion that Li Haozong died after Fang Ming. So since Li Haozong died before Fang Ming, and the reasons for their reports are so similar, I have been thinking about what is the connection between these two deceased, and now I seem to understand that the place where Fang Ming is holding this box is going is Li Haozong's house! ”
So we compared the distance between Li Haozong's house and Fang Ming's family, and found that there was a distance of about twenty minutes between their two communities, that is, this was completely in line with our previous speculation.
In this way, it seems to make sense why Li Haozong's house also has an identical black suitcase, because two corpses do need two suitcases, but why is this suitcase still parked in Li Haozong's house later, it stands to reason that two identical suitcases should have two identical corpses and deceased, that is, Fang Ming and Li Haozong.
So the question now is, where did the real Li Haozong's body go?
After thinking of this, Zhang Ziang and I said: "We have to go to Fang Ming's house and Li Haozong's house again, there must be something that we have ignored, and it is on the scene." ”
When I was talking about this, I saw Zhang Ziang as if he was thinking about something, a little dazed, I had never seen him like this before, so I asked him, "What's wrong with you?" ”
He suddenly came back to his senses, and then said, "It's nothing, and suddenly I feel a little strange." ”
I asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Zhang Ziang said: "Eyewitness Li Qiang. ”
