Chapter 25 Clues

After preliminary screening, yesterday, April 10, all the personnel from outside the unit and those who had entered the Weichi Revolutionary Office to report their work were gathered. The conference room on the first floor of the prefectural government became a temporary inquiry point. It has been confirmed that Lu Peng, a purchaser of the county agricultural machinery factory, Gong Zhipeng, manager of the county Zhonghua Hotel, and Xiao Zhen, manager of the Chengnan Trading Company, left the government building before 5:30 a.m., and had an alibi between 6 and 8 o'clock, and their suspicions were ruled out first. Qiu Renhua, deputy director of the Linxian County Government Office, has already sent someone over for questioning. There are a total of 4 people who have reported to Wei Chi Revolution, and all of them have alibis. Now, only the doorman, Li Dashan, cannot provide an alibi, saying that he has been sitting in the guard's room waiting for the handover of shifts, except for the time when the lights are turned off. The colleague set a drink to Xuejun's relatives, took a half-day off yesterday afternoon, and did not come back until 9 o'clock in the evening. And he's drunk, so he's been on duty. This is just Li Dashan's one-sided words, and no one has proved to him that he has stayed in the guard room after turning off the lights.

The person in charge of delivering water in the department store was a young man, very thin, with a dark face, and he did not speak very fluently, and he reported the basic situation: Zhang Qidong, 20 years old, from Pingli Village, Guanyinge Town, County. The family is poor and makes a living in the county seat. The owner of the department store was a distant relative of his.

"What time did you register at the gatekeeper of the government building?" How many buckets of water were delivered? "This information is all in the registration book of the guard's room, but Gao Ge wants to see if the other party still remembers it, or if the doorman is serious about registering.

"Half past three, on time, almost every time I came. Twenty boxes, two hundred and forty bottles. Zhang Qidong replied, he remembered it very clearly.

It's the same as it is registered in the log book.

"What time did you leave?"

"Move to the utility room on the fourth floor, move two boxes and two boxes, leave after moving, 20 minutes, leave at 3:21."

"Why didn't you register when you left?"

"I come often, I get used to it, and I don't register."

"Where did you go after leaving?"

"Go back to the store, get water, deliver water." When questioned by the government, the shop owner told him to bring the records with him. Gao Ge flipped through the records, and after leaving the government, Zhang Qidong successively sent water to four units.

"From 6 to 8 p.m., where are you and what are you doing?"

"I started eating at half past six, helped the store clear the list after eating, and kept the store closing at 10 o'clock."

The owner of the shop has proved this, and the other workman of the store has also proved that there are no loopholes. Zhang Qidong had an alibi, no time to commit the crime, and no motive for the crime. During the questioning, Gao Ge carefully observed Zhang Qidong, and he was a little panicked, but this can be understood as caused by the police's questioning.

All have alibi, except for the doorman Li Dashan, could it be that he killed the person? But what was the motive for the crime? He is just a doorman, there is no conflict of interest with the secretary of the county party committee, and the secretary has just taken office, and there is no vendetta between them. He had no reason to kill him, Gao Ge thought.

At this time, Liu Debao knocked on the door and came in, and they found unknown footprints on the trunk of a tree outside the wall.

The questioning will end for the time being.

Deputy Directors Qu Bing, Zheng Nansi, and Gao Ge followed Liu Debao to the scene. Outside the fence there are camphor trees, which grow very tall, and one of them grows to more than two meters, and the trunk suddenly grows into the wall.

On the foot ground under the trunk of the tree, footprints were first found. The toe is facing outwards and the heel is facing inward. There is a lot of rain in spring, and there is no hardening outside the wall, and the footprints are more obvious. Outside this section of the fence is a field, and almost no one comes. There are also footprints on the trunk, with the toe facing up and the heel down, and vice versa.

"Obviously, the murderer came in and out of the government compound from here." Zheng Nansi said with his hands in front of his chest.

Gao Ge squatted on the ground and took a closer look, then stood up again and carefully observed the footprints on the tree trunk, "Bao, bring the ruler over." ”

Liu Debao knew that the vice-captain had to measure the size of the footprints. "Two sizes, different sizes."

"What do you mean?" The director of the government office asked.

"The murderers are two people." Zheng Nansi replied, and he also looked closer and carefully, nodding as he watched.

"Not necessarily, or just one after the other, the two people don't know each other, but at least one of them was left by the murderer." Qu Bing added.

The five men walked through the gate and walked to the inside of the wall corresponding to the tree. Sure enough, there were also footprints on the inside floor, with the toe facing forward and the heel facing back, which were left when they came in from the outside.

The shoe prints stretched in the direction of the building's backyard and disappeared after about 15 meters. The crowd walked forward, and the back door was open. "The gate and back door open at 7 a.m. and close at 10 p.m., unless there are special circumstances, which will be opened early or delayed, such as large meetings, large celebrations, inspections by superiors." The director of the government office explained.

"The murderer climbed up the camphor tree from outside the wall, jumped into the compound, slipped into the office building through the back door, came out of the back door after finishing the crime, climbed the tree, and then jumped out of the wall to escape. The security guard has been sitting in the security room, and it is normal that he has not found out, and it seems that the murderer is very familiar with the situation in the compound. Gao Ge said, thinking of the doorman again. Although Zhang Qidong, who delivers water, often enters the compound, he works very mechanically and has a fixed route. The rest is the deputy director of the government office of Linxian County, but he should not know much about the situation in the compound, and if he doesn't step on the point in advance, he can't do it like this.

The people who went to the Linxian County Government came back, led by Deputy Captain Kong Shangwu, and Lu Fei went with them.

"How's it going?" Qu Bing asked.

Kong Shangwu shook his head, "It's not him, after returning from the county government, it's dinner time, and he has been accompanying the county magistrate of Linxian County to receive investors from other places." Moreover, we asked, he has always had a good relationship with Secretary Wei Chi, and he was cultivated and promoted by the secretary, so he has no reason to kill the secretary. Kong Shangwu smacked his mouth, "When he heard the news that Secretary Wei Chi was killed, he was very sad and cried bitterly, which was a true expression of feelings." ”

"Feelings cannot be the basis for analysing the facts of the case, and it is another matter if he has an alibi. Deputy Captain Zhao, you have been handling cases for so many years, and you can't be emotional. Zheng Nansi took the opportunity to show the majesty of the captain again.

"Yes, I will definitely improve next time." Kong Shangwu is a man who sees the wind and steers the rudder, he knows how to judge the situation, and when Zheng Nansi took over Wu Ping as the captain, he first expressed an unconditional obedience attitude.

The clues were broken here, except for the doorman Li Dashan, there was no relatively clear object for the police to assume as a suspect for the time being. Qu Bing divided the people into two groups, one group led by Zheng Nansi, who was responsible for investigating Wei Chi's family and colleagues to investigate his recent abnormalities in work and life. One group was led by Gao Ge and was responsible for investigating the doorman Li Dashan.

The forensic doctor reported to Zheng Nansi that after an autopsy, the time of death of Wei Chi Revolution could be accurately between 7 and 7:30 p.m., and the cause of death was a stab wound to the throat.

The comrades who went to the city public security bureau for fingerprint identification have returned, and the four fingerprints found in the Weichi Revolutionary Office exactly match the four people who entered the office that day to report on their work. All four of them had alibis, which temporarily ruled out the possibility of killing. That is, the killer did not leave any clues at the scene that would prove his identity, except for those vague footprints.

After the burial of the Wei Chi Revolution, relatives and friends were sent away, and there were only three people left in the family: Chen Biting, Yu Chili, and Chen Biting's mother. The house was deserted, except for the occasional words between her mother-in-law and Wei Chili, Chen Biting never spoke. Yu Chili was worried that the great pain would eventually crush her mother.

First of all, you have to get her to speak.

But she couldn't find an entry point, so Yu Chili didn't dare to ask casually, for fear of touching the tears again. It just so happened that Zheng Nansi arrived, and he took Lu Fei with him.

"Still haven't spoken?" Zheng Nansi asked.

Yu Chili nodded.

Zheng Nansi felt that the atmosphere in the room was very depressing, and wanted to go out to take a breath, but he was here to work, and at this time, he needed to show the responsibility of a man. There's never been a better time to capture the hearts of beautiful women. Although it seems a bit dark to take such an opportunity to invade a woman's spiritual world, he Zheng Nansi is the one who doesn't see rabbits and don't scatter eagles.

In order to achieve the end, the means can be unscrupulous.

"Lili, I know it's not appropriate to say this now, but you know that I mean it, if you have any needs at home, you can mention it to me, and I will be on call."

"Thank you, I can handle it, and I hope I can catch the murderer as soon as possible." Yu Chili glanced at Zheng Nansi very gratefully, she has not been in contact with Zheng Nansi for many years, I don't know what kind of person he is, he was a mercenary person when he was a child, and Yu Chili didn't like to get close to him at that time. Now she is even more reluctant, she has a lot of concern in her heart.
