Chapter 5: Footprints
The bathroom window was not big, and Huazi was thin and small, so Yemushan let him get out of the window.
A few minutes later, Xiao Chen came back with a ball of rope for mountaineering.
"How do you know someone has gone down from here?" Xu Qinghua looked at Ye Mushan suspiciously, what kind of eyes does this guy have.
"It doesn't make sense that the screen of the bathroom window is removed, and the window is closed but not locked from the inside."
Ye Mushan walked to the window, closed the window, and subconsciously wrenched the handle to lock the window.
"You mean that the murderer killed Zhao Yu and then used the rope to escape from here? Ropes alone aren't sure, are they? ”
"Not only that, this sketch should have been drawn by Zhao Yu, if he really wanted to commit suicide, he would not choose to do so at this time."
Saying that, Ye Mushan handed a piece of paper in his hand to Xu Qinghua, on the white paper was a simple drawing of a person lying on the ground, and the names of several people were written on the side, and the names were circled and painted, and it could be seen that this was drawn by Zhao Yu studying who killed Xia Chenchen.
"Team Xu, I have notified Zhao Yu's family, they are on their way over, and I checked that Zhao Yu called Luo Xi today, and the time was half past 19 in the evening."
At this time, a police officer handed Zhao Yu's mobile phone to Xu Qinghua.
"Rosie?"
Hearing this, everyone turned their eyes to Rosie.
"Huh? He...... He called me to come over and talk to him. ”
Rosie was nervous and began to babble.
"Talk? What to talk about? ”
Ye Mushan's face was serious, and he wondered, why did anyone who died have to contact Rosie?
Rosie explained in a panic: "It's just about Xia Chenchen, but I didn't kill anyone." ”
"How long have you been talking?" Xu Qinghua asked on the side.
Rosie thought about it for a moment and explained: "About half an hour, and then I will go back to painting, if you don't believe me, you can go to my house, the painting is still on the balcony, I guess the oil painting has not yet dried." ”
"We found out that Zhao Yu was killed ten minutes before we opened the door, that is, it coincided with the time when you tracked the raincoat man." Xu Qinghua began to suspect Rosie based on the current evidence.
"Officer Xu, I really didn't kill anyone." Rosie panicked even more when she heard this.
"Miss Luo, I'm just speculating, I didn't say that you killed the person. Ah Hai, you go and check the surveillance of this building in the afternoon, focusing on the records from 19 to 21 o'clock in the evening. ”
"Okay."
Xu Qinghua said while instructing Ah Hai to adjust the surveillance, after all, the police are talking about evidence, not speculation.
"Team Xu, the residents of the four floors have all inquired, they all have alibis, and they have not seen any suspicious people."
At this time, a police officer took the transcript to Xu Qinghua.
"Tell the people downstairs to keep a close guard, and report to me immediately if there is any abnormal situation or character appears."
Xu Qinghua looked at the transcript information in his hand, and found nothing suspicious, so he had to shift his gaze to Rosie again.
Later, Ah Hai obtained the surveillance data, and it was confirmed that no other suspicious people entered except for the residents of this building during Zhao Yu's murder.
It can also be seen from the monitoring that Rosie has entered and exited the elevator at about 19:40 and 19:40, and Rosie is not lying, and the time of entry and exit in the monitoring of the building where she lives can also coincide with it.
However, what made Xu Qinghua strange was that the surveillance video in other places did not capture the "raincoat man" mentioned by Rosie, and the apartment doorman was also playing with his mobile phone at that time, and he didn't care too much about any suspicious people coming and going.
"Rosie, you are very suspicious at the moment, we need to go to your house to investigate."
"Xu... Officer Xu, I really didn't kill Zhao Yu..."
Rosie was a little helpless by the results of the investigation.
"Huazi, you are responsible for sending Zhao Yu's body back to the police station first, let's go, let's ......"
As soon as Xu Qinghua finished giving the order, he turned around and found that Yemushan was gone.
"Oh, he just went out."
Chen Fei took off his gloves and said.
Later, the group went to Rosie's apartment, where there was indeed a painting on the balcony that had not yet been completed.
"Team Xu, judging from the humidity of the oil painting, this painting was indeed painted an hour ago."
Liu Junting observed carefully and said.
"Team Xu, you see, this was found on the bedside table."
At this time, Chen Fei found a bottle of ground next to Rosie's bed. Zepam.
"How do you have this?" Xu Qinghua questioned Rosie.
"This ...... I bought it when I couldn't sleep at night, if you don't believe it, you can ask Sister Liu. ”
Rosie panicked and pinned her hopes on Liu Junting.
"This medicine is the same as the one in Zhao Yu's room, I think she can only prove that you have taken this medicine, but whether you have used this medicine to do other things is unknown."
"I really didn't, and Zhao Yu didn't offend me, how could I harm him."
"Judging from the evidence we have so far, Xiao Luo ~ Sister is very suspicious, and you must go to the police station to assist us in our investigation."
Xu Qinghua then instructed the police to take Rosie to the police station.
At the scene, only Ye Mushan and Xu Qinghua were still in the apartment.
"What did you find?" Xu Qinghua hesitated for a while, but couldn't help but ask.
"There are still some undried footprints on this staircase, so it seems that the murderer must have gone up from here. You have also checked, and there are no abnormal traces on the door, which means that Zhao Yu opened the door himself.
And staying in the murderer's room for so long shows that Zhao Yu must be acquaintances with the murderer, and then poured medicine on Zhao Yu, because he was afraid of being discovered, he didn't go out directly, and jumped down from the upstairs with a rope and escaped.
The murderer must have been thoughtful and wore gloves when committing the crime, so there were only Zhao Yu's fingerprints in the room, but I didn't figure it out, the murderer didn't even leave footprints at the scene, he was wearing shoe covers? Or is there enough time to clean up? ”
"If you really say so, from the surveillance, the only one who is the most suspicious is Rosie, and there is no one else."
The two went to the backyard of the fourth apartment to continue their discussion.
Ye Mushan turned his face and asked, "Rosie usually hasn't had much contact with Zhao Yu, so why kill him?" ”
"In my opinion, the raincoat man was made up by Rosie, and nothing was lost in the room."
"Let's go back and interrogate, maybe we can ask for some more useful clues."
Speaking of this, Xu Qinghua was also a little confused, although there were doubts about Rosie's time and evidence of the crime, but she had no motive to kill.
In the dark, Yemushan also had many doubts in his heart, and from the current clues, only Rosie was the most suspicious.
At first, Xia Chenchen was killed, and IOUs and text messages pointed to her. Now Zhao Yu has been killed one after another, this time in the same place. Xipan, the two met and talked before Zhao Yu was killed, and if the two cases are related, it can be said that they are the same.
That night, under Xu Qinghua's personal interrogation, she still didn't get any useful information, and Rosie always denied that she had killed Zhao Yu.
In Rosie's confession, Zhao Yu's mood has collapsed in the past few days, he called to ask Rosie to come over and talk to him for a few words, Rosie was also afraid that Zhao Yu would not be able to think about it before agreeing, the two chatted for a while, and comforted Zhao Yu a little, she didn't expect Zhao Yu to have an accident.
It was raining heavily outside, and the tears of the dark clouds irrigated the entire city, but this time the sound of rain could no longer be heard by Zhao Yu.
