Chapter 39: The Cycle of Cause and Effect (1)
The search in the rental house corroborated Ran Zijin's testimony, and he did not hide the fact that he kidnapped and abused Du Wanqian, but we also did not find any murder weapon that killed Du Wanqian.
But the situation he mentioned still surprised us, An Yue was actually pushed downstairs by Du Wanqian.
If this is the case, then Du Wanqian is the real murderer.
I suddenly remembered what Hua Hu had said - in the Shura realm, the sinful asura will have his own crimes engraved on his forehead.
A ridiculous thought suddenly popped up in my heart - could this matter be related to the Asura realm, and the next second I denied this conjecture, before Hua Hu said that it was already a one-in-a-million luck that she could come, besides, what are the Asuras doing in the world, it doesn't make sense.
After checking the surroundings, Ran Zijin was confirmed to have an alibi - at eight or nine o'clock that night, he was still studying in the library, and many classmates could testify.
Moreover, the owner of a hardware store on a nearby street also testified that when it was about to close at about half past ten that night, Ran Zijin ran in and bought an axe and a machete.
It took more than 20 minutes to go back and forth from Ran Zijin's rental house to the hardware store, and if Ran Zijin's testimony was true, then Du Wanqian's body was transported between 10:10 and 10:45 at night, half an hour, and Ran Zijin changed the door lock the next day.
If the killer could have entered the rental house to kill someone, he would still be able to unlock the door while transporting the body.
Shi Chong and Xiao Yu took the traces and physical evidence team, and they conducted an investigation in Ran Zijin's house.
There was no sign of abnormal opening of the window of the rental house, if someone took advantage of Ran Zijin's absence, sneaked into the house to kill Du Wanqian, and then transported her body, then this person should have come in from the door of the room.
But how could this person know that Du Wanqian was in Ran Zijin's house, why didn't he remove the body as soon as possible after the killing, instead of returning to the scene to remove the body later?
Shen Yu also walked around the scene, and after reading it, she walked out of the room with her head down, walked to me and sighed with her head down.
"I still can't concentrate, and I usually glance at it to tell which marks are the key clues, but today I walked around the house several times, and I saw a lot of things. My mind was in a mess, what the hell was going on? ”
"It's okay, take your time, I'm just recovering from a serious illness, and a lot of things have to be recovered slowly." I comforted her and said, "Didn't Xiao Yu say that the murderer should have come in wearing shoe covers and gloves, because no traces of him were found in the house." And after he cut Du Wanqian's throat, he also took the murder weapon away. Didn't Lin Ying say that she was going to retrieve the surveillance data of the nearby streets, and I believe that she would definitely be able to find clues. ”
"But it's already afternoon!" Shen Yu said anxiously, "I originally had a lot of things I wanted to know, such as what happened after I was hit, such as what the man who was hit and killed wanted to do, such as why I was being taken by a crazy woman now?!" I want to figure it out! However, if you don't solve the case today, it will be someone else who will solve the case tomorrow! I can't let her get a head start! ”
I understand her anxiety, because according to the current law, the person who will appear tomorrow will not be her, but Hua Hu.
"So I must solve the case today, my intuition tells me that the key clues of this case have appeared, but I just can't think of it." She said as she scratched her hair a little frantically.
I can see that she is very annoyed, as for the reason for her annoyance, I think it is the logical singularity that she has been relying on suddenly malfunctioning - does this also have anything to do with the appearance of Hua Hu?
Although she didn't tell me what to do next, she definitely still guarded against Hua Man, but she didn't prevent Hua Hu from destroying herself, but she was preventing her from solving the case one step earlier than herself.
Sometimes, a woman's jealousy is really inexplicable.
I guessed what she was thinking, and hurried down the slope to comfort her.
"Don't worry, even if you become Hua Hu tomorrow, she will only use her bardo body to solve the case, and I can't let her find someone to beat her to half death, and then go to watch what lights."
"What do you mean?" Shen Yu is so smart, she saw through my mind at once.
"I just want to hold her back and prevent her from solving the case before you." I said with a smile.
"Hold you back? Isn't the old lady smarter than a crazy woman? What is she that can compare to me? "I didn't expect that I was self-defeating and couldn't extinguish the fire, but I persuaded Shen Yu's temper.
"But—watching the lights?" Shen Yu's eyes suddenly lit up, "Do you remember that woman said that when she was watching the lights on Wu Zhengxian, she once saw Wu Zhengxian stalking Ran Zijin?" ”
"That's the thing."
"So if Wu Zhengxian follows Ran Zijin, he will-"
"You will find out that he kidnapped Du Wanqian!"
"Yes, with Wu Zhengxian's experience in Dao'er, sliding door and picking locks should also be a piece of cake, right?"
"So, could it be that the person who killed Du Wanqian was Wu Zhengxian?"
"It's not impossible." She said.
"That's a pity, the suspect was disabled by you last night, and now he is still in a coma, and it is estimated that he will not wake up for a while." I said with a sigh.
"Shut up."
I quickly shut my mouth.
"But he has no reason to kill Du Wanqian, if he rescues Du Wanqian, he can still ask for merit and reward, and if he kills her, he won't get anything." I remembered something, and opened my mouth to add.
"And the woman didn't see him killing Du Wanqian when she watched the lantern." Shen Yu lowered his head and pondered.
"Y-got you-got to depend on her?" I originally thought that Hua Yu's so-called lantern viewing was child's play, but I didn't expect that it would have such a big impact on Shen Yu after "watching" it once.
"Shut up!"
I quickly shut my mouth again.
"Light and dark, light and dark are intertwined, the bright is the action, the dark is the tracking, in fact, Du Wanqian's case is such a logical relationship. Those who are in the light are counted by those who are in the dark, and those who are in the darkness are counted by those who are in the darker places. She frowned and said to herself.
"So, when is the time for retribution, the cycle of cause and effect, and the retribution is not happy."
"What did you say?"
"Cycle of cause and effect, retribution is unpleasant - what's wrong?"
Shen Yu didn't speak, she suddenly opened the map software on her phone and looked at it.
"Cycle, cycle, why didn't I think of it!" She said something inexplicable, then turned around and walked downstairs.
I quickly followed.
"Where are you going?"
"It's just right, I lack a helper, you come with me." Shen Yu said.
My car happened to be parked downstairs, Shen Yu turned on the navigation when he got in the car, I didn't dare to ask more, I had to listen to her mobile phone navigation to drive, but what I didn't expect was that the place to go was actually very close, just two streets away.
Shen Yu got out of the car and looked up again, I just closed the car door and walked out, and she beckoned to me.
"Hey, I remember you were very easy to please middle-aged and older women. I'm going to be too blunt in a moment, and you're on the side to help me round the field. ”
"Okay—but what's the matter with the middle-aged and older women?" My second monk was confused.
Shen Yu pointed to the sign hanging on the first floor and smiled at me. I looked up and saw that the sign said "Dew Drop Street Community Service Center".
"Neighborhood committee?" I asked, puzzled.
"Yes, it's the neighborhood committee that Xiaoyu and they once visited, that is, the community where An Yue's family is located."
The two of us walked into the community center one after the other, and Shen Yu asked straight to the point if Aunt Sun was there.
The little girl who received us was a little panicked when she saw the business card of the criminal investigation consultant that Shen Yu took out, and she hurriedly ran to an office in the corridor to report the situation.
After a while, two aunts, one fat and one thin, walked out.
"Two police comrades, please go to the reception room and sit."
Shen Yu doesn't deny it, and I naturally can't say anything. When we entered the reception room, the little girl brought two cups of tea in disposable paper cups.
"Is Aunt Zhai sick?" Shen Yu suddenly asked inexplicably.
"Ah, comrade policeman, you know that - she is on sick leave." The fat aunt said with round eyes.
"Your two noble surnames?" Shen Yu was in a hurry, and asked before he sat down.
"My surname is Sun, and her surname is Ding." The fat aunt snatched the conversation again.
"Oh-Aunt Sun, Aunt Ding, that's the case, my colleague came here once before and asked for some alibi from An Qimin......"
"Didn't you say this a long time ago?" Aunt Ding said a little impatiently.
"Lao Ding, don't be like this, when I watch the TV series, the police comrades ask me many times over and over again - right, comrade police?"
It seems that this Aunt Sun is still more reasonable.
I hurriedly praised her a few more sentences, and Aunt Sun was really very useful, so she opened the conversation.
