Chapter III: Suspects

Chen Cheng nodded stiffly, his eyes full of unease.

"Do you know Wang Jiumei?"

Hearing this name, Chen Cheng's face stiffened, and his eyes crossed a trace of strangeness, although it was very subtle, it was still captured by us.

"I don't know." He's lying!

I took out a screenshot of Wang Jiumei and Chen Cheng's chat history from the file bag, "Wang Jiumei was found dead in the rental house at 4 o'clock in the morning on the 13th of this month, if you know anything, please tell us the truth and assist us in handling the case." ”

Seeing the screenshot of the chat log, Chen Cheng was a little irritable and rubbed his messy hair, "She's dead?" How did he die? ”

"How did you die, you don't care, what is your relationship with Wang Jiumei, and does anyone know her? Who does she usually dismiss with! ”

Chen Fang spoke coldly.

"I don't know, I don't know anything, I'm just an ordinary netizen relationship with her." Netizen relationship? I narrowed my eyes, and my eyes became reserved.

"Ordinary netizens, then why did you have an argument with the deceased Wang Jiumei on the 13th of last month?" I asked.

"I'm ......" Chen Fang opened his mouth, but he seemed speechless.

Chen Cheng wanted to speak and stopped, and then gave us an eviction order.

"You guys go, I don't know anything." Chen Fang frowned, and was about to get angry, but I stopped him.

After leaving Chen Cheng's house, I received a call from Xu Liang, saying that the note had been recovered, but the burn marks were too heavy, and only 4 words were recovered, but this note was not all, and if you want to know the rest, you have to find the place where the note was burned.

The four words that Xu Liang recovered from his side were: Be careful, kill you.

Literally, this is most likely a well-intentioned reminder, and of course the possibility of intimidation is not ruled out. And what is even more puzzling is Wang Jiumei's approach. The vast majority of people receive this kind of thing, their first reaction is a prank, the slightest vigilance will feel that this is intimidation, and the most serious is to call the police and hand it over to the police for processing.

But this Wang Jiumei chose to burn, what was the content of this note, so that Wang Jiumei chose to destroy the evidence directly. And that encrypted folder, what's in it?

Chen Cheng is obviously hiding something, and he and Wang Jiumei are definitely not ordinary netizens.

Clues seem to have appeared, and they don't seem to have appeared. Nowadays, the clues on the deceased are almost the same, but there are very few that are really useful.

Even the scene of the crime was destroyed. The scene of the crime? I seemed to have thought of something, and asked Chen Fang, "Where is the previous consultant?" ”

Chen Fang said that the person was suspended for self-reflection because he destroyed the scene of the first crime, and now lives in the police station. I grabbed my coat, hurriedly said a word to Chen Fang, and walked towards the police station.

The scene of the crime cannot be destroyed at will, this kind of basic common sense, even the children in kindergarten know that as a professional criminal investigation consultant, there must be something in it to make such a low-level mistake!

At three o'clock in the afternoon, I met with the consultant, Li Mao.

It was a man about my age, with very short hair, and he looked a little tired.

"I'm a new advisor, Lu Zhe, to learn more about the situation with you." I sat across from Li Mao and looked at him.

Li Mao didn't look at me, his head was depressed, and said, "You want to ask about the destruction of Wang Jiumei's death scene, right?" ”

I nodded and asked rhetorically, "Why did you destroy the first crime scene?" ”

"Before going to the scene of the crime, I had a night of drinking with a few friends, probably because I was drunk and ruined the scene of the crime."

Drunk all night?

I raised my eyes again and stared straight into Li Mao's eyes. It can be seen that he does not look like a liar.

"Drinking with whom? Can anyone prove it? I asked.

Li Mao said a few names and was silent for a long time.

"Officer Lu, we are all old criminal policemen, you know better than me what the situation is going and what process to take, rather than this, it is better to go to the identification department to check if I was drunk that day."

I laughed, Li Mao was right, they are all thousand-year-old foxes, what are you talking about?

"I know, you all doubt me, don't tell you, I have handled a lot of cases with zero confession before, otherwise, you will also record a confession this time to try for me?" After speaking, Li Mao's gaze revealed a flavor that I couldn't speak.

After I came out of Li Mao, I didn't go to the appraisal department to check the report.

Li Mao is an old policeman, and they both know each other what the process should be followed in what situation.

Li Mao was also on my list of suspicions.

An experienced veteran policeman would actually drink all night the day before the crime and handle the case the next day drunk. This excuse is too far-fetched, isn't it?

But until there is evidence, all inferences and suspicions are hypotheses!

I didn't take a break and drove to the house of a few of Li Mao's friends. There is no doubt that those people, who spoke in unison, all said that Li Mao drank a lot of alcohol that day.

I have to say that Li Mao's suspicion is too great, and I can't help but wonder if his relationship with the deceased Wang Jiumei, the hidden encrypted folder, is related to him.

So far, the investigation has basically confirmed the speculation that Wang Jiumei died of murder! And years of experience have taught me that this is definitely not an ordinary murder.

When I came back from Li Mao's house, it was already 8 o'clock in the evening, and I returned to the accommodation that Chen Fang had arranged for me. It was a rental house near the police station. I was lying in bed, and before I could fall asleep, a message came from my phone.

"Be careful, someone is going to kill you!"

I sat up from my bed, and I didn't expect things to go so fast that someone would send me a kind reminder. Of course I don't think it's just a warning.

It seems that my investigation has touched the mystery of the murderer! In an instant, those clues quickly passed through my mind: Chen Cheng, Li Mao, burned half of the threatening note, and hid the encrypted folder.

What exactly is close to the murderer? Let him have his eyes on me!

"Wang Cailing!" The name came to my mind, this madwoman who committed suicide by jumping off a building in front of my eyes in the morning.

All the while, I ignored this woman, but she was also one of the important clues.

I then put on my clothes and went to the evidence management room of the police station.

Wang Cailing was admitted to the hospital on the 13th, committed suicide by jumping off the building on the 17th, and had serious masochistic tendencies and irritable behavior.

According to medical records, Wang Cailing has a history of mental illness for 3 years, but in the past 3 years, except for occasional self-abuse and delusions, she has been fine.

Why did she suddenly become ill on the 12th, the day before Wang Cailing's death?

According to the forensic examination, Wang Jiumei's time of death was at 20 o'clock on the 12th, that is, 8 o'clock in the evening!

Could it be that she witnessed something she shouldn't have seen?

I can't help but think of Wang Cailing's words before she died, the "ghost" killed Wang Jiumei, and Wang Cailing also begged this "ghost" not to kill herself. Wang Cailing's illness and death must not be a coincidence!
