Chapter 019: Original Intent

It wasn't until Forensic Team A completed the electronic data analysis of Lee Byung-tak's laptop that they found fragments of the permanently deleted images and audio files in the unallocated area of the laptop.

Pang Jitong looked at the photos in the folder with missing edges and corners, and asked with a little questioning, "Based on these photos alone, you have determined that Xu Jingjia is Li Bingde's close friend of the opposite sex?" The photos in these photos are all solo photos, and there is not even a group photo of Xu Jingjia and Li Bingde.

"I said it, until I met Xu Jingjia, I wasn't sure." Fu Liangtao replied lightly. "However, I suspect that Xu Jingjia has something to do with what we just heard. The laptop that found these image files and audio files is one that Li Bingde often uses.

Therefore, judging from the extent to which these image files and audio files have been overwritten, it seems that these files should have been deleted shortly before Li Bingde's death, and the time of deletion is quite close. Therefore, I cannot rule out that they have something to do with Lee Byung-tak's death."

"Also, if Xu Jingjia is really related to these messages, then as far as all the evidence we have at this stage, she is the only person who may be a close friend of Li Bingde's opposite sex." Fu Liangtao explained in detail and plainly, and it was not until the end that he added: "That's why I thought of using Zhou Muqing's case as a cover. lest the grass startle the snake......

Pang Ji stared at Fu Liangtao for a moment, still thinking about the questions Fu Liangtao had asked when he asked Xu Jingjia, and what he had just heard from those messages.

Those questions that once made Pang Jitong think they were digressions turned out to be Fu Liangtao's trick to test Xu Jingjia from the beginning. Moreover, Fu Liangtao also cleverly used the audio of the philosophical analysis of the book "The Unbearable Lightness of Life". Fu Liangtao compares the male protagonist in the story to Li Bingde, leading the topic to Li Bingde's attitude towards his love life, and observes Xu Jingjia's reaction to these two topics.

"By the way, just now Luo Mengning of Forensic C Team informed me that I have completed the forensic analysis report of Li Bingde and Zhou Muqing's mobile phones. We're set for a while...... Four hours and forty-five ......" Fu Liangtao said, paused, looked at the clock on the computer screen, and said, "Ah...... In about sixteen minutes, we have a meeting in the big room around the corner, so why don't you come and listen to it...... When the time comes, Qin Xiangwen from Forensic Forensic Team A will also come over with us, and the two of them often come and go with us at work, and you happen to know them."

This call interrupted Pang Jitong's thoughts, which were like an old monk thinking about the case.

"And this ......" Fu Liangtao handed a voice recorder into Pang Jitong's hand and said, "This is the recording when I asked Xu Jingjia just now, you can contact the expert consultant in voiceprint forensics for me, and ask him to compare Xu Jingjia's voice with the female voice in the news."

Pang Jitong took the recorder in front of him in a daze, and said in his heart that Fu Liangtao still had this hand. A face-to-face investigation and face-to-face observation of Xu Jingjia's reaction are not enough, but also need to be supported by substantial evidence.

Seeing that Pang Jitong looked at the recorder in his hand with a blank expression, and didn't speak, Fu Liangtao said again, "If there is anything you don't understand, you can ask Brother Cong."

Until Pang Jitong returned to his seat, he was still immersed in the analysis of Li Bingde's case and could not come back to his senses for a long time.

"How? Just let our dear relatives be shocked, right?" Brother Cong's cheerful voice sounded in Pang Jitong's ears, and he put one hand on Pang Jitong's shoulder. Brother Cong pulled over a chair at some point and sat next to Pang Jitong. "It doesn't matter, I'm getting used to it, that's how we all came here."

Pang Jitong turned to Brother Cong at this time, and his expression was still a little blank, and he asked in surprise, "Is this ...... Can you get used to this?"

"Of course, I'm surprised, can I not be numb? Like me now, no matter what the boss does, I won't feel shocked anymore!" Listening to Brother Cong's tone, it seems that he is not surprised by Fu Liangtao's behavior.

I saw Brother Cong's eyes roll, and he approached Pang Jitong in an instant, his eyes shone with the light of gossip, and he said with a smile, "Do you want to know what shocking things our leaders have done before?"

Looking at Brother Cong's eyes, Pang Ji moved in his heart and replied, "I want to ...... However, can you give me the contact information of the voiceprint forensics expert advisor first?"

"Okay, let's go!" Brother Cong grabbed Pang Jitong's shoulders and lifted Pang Jitong up from the chair, and said, "You follow me, while I will find you the contact information of the consultant and expert, and at the same time tell you what shocking things our leaders have done in the past."

Pang Jitong, who was held by Brother Cong's shoulder, smiled angrily, and secretly said that Brother Cong wanted to say it himself, but he didn't care if the other party really wanted to hear it. However, there is still a little curiosity in Pang Jitong's heart.

"Anyway, a long, long time ago......" Hearing Brother Cong's opening remarks, Pang Jitong couldn't help laughing and said, "Brother Cong, why does this opening remark sound so fairy tale? Do you think of Sir Tao as Little Red Riding Hood or Snow White?"

Hearing this, Brother Cong couldn't help but be amused by Pang Jitong, so he scolded and said, "Go! Let's go! I'm looking for a feeling...... If you don't want to hear it, go quickly! Don't get in my way." Then, Brother Cong cleared his throat and blinked before he said, "For you young people, it was really a long, long time ago. At that time, I had just joined the Force......

Hearing this, Pang Jitong's eyes widened unconsciously, and Brother Cong said again, "What? You still don't believe it? Do I look that old?"

"No, I just can't tell you're younger than the head!" Pang Jitong sincerely thinks this.

Listening to the noise of the two outside the office, Fu Liangtao smiled and packed his things and went to the conference room they were accustomed to calling the big room. Fu Liangtao took out a manuscript from the back pocket of his trousers and began to add notes about Xu Jingjia to the analysis of the case of Zhou Muqing and Li Bingde, and also prepared for the analysis of the case for a while.

This is Fu Liangtao's habit, whenever he finds a new clue or sorts out his thoughts, Fu Liangtao will always take out this manuscript to write and draw. The message above is not written in ordinary words, but a combination of different words and symbols. Even people who have studied cryptography cannot decipher the contents of it for a while, but Fu Liangtao seems to have been familiar with this set of ciphers and regarded them as his own set of exclusive words.

Fu Liangtao recalled in his mind Xu Jingjia's expression reaction when he questioned Xu Jingjia. Even if there is no report from a voiceprint forensics expert, just based on the similarity between the two sounds and the misunderstanding of Su Shi's poem, it can actually be determined that the female voice in the audio is Xu Jingjia herself. However, these photos and audios alone are not enough to prove the relationship between Hui Jingjia and Li Bingde, which only proves that Hui Jingjia is lying, and she and Li Bingde are not completely unconnected after graduating from high school.

In this way, Xu Jingjia is not a credible witness, and even the credibility of her other confessions has to be discounted.

The findings of this door-to-door investigation were less than Fu Liangtao had originally expected, and because Xu Jingjia's reaction had been very flat, the temptation he set did not have much effect. When Pang Jitong was still sighing for Fu Liangtao's arrangement, only Fu Liangtao himself knew that Xu Jingjia did not jump into the pit he dug carefully.

No matter how good the trap is, if it can't catch a rabbit, it will be useless.

In fact, Xu Jingjia's reaction was not always so bland, thinking of this, Fu Liangtao wrote four key words in the codex with a password:

"Guardedness", "Distance", "Unemployment", and "Zhou Muqing".

After thinking about it, Fu Liangtao deleted the string of passwords representing "Zhou Muqing" and changed it to "former Zhou Muqing", and added boxes to the three words "formerly" for identification.
