Chapter Fifty-Eight: An Invisible Mystery
"There is such a possibility, but this person is very smart, he knows how to disguise the wound, and he also knows that if the wound is revealed, the police will know that there were other people at the scene at the time, so it is very likely that he will find his body, so in order to clear his suspicion, he thought about using the explosion to cover up his crime. But because the situation was so urgent, he didn't have time to think about it, and the explosion was the best way he could think of to cover it up. Wei Zhongwen said while analyzing.
"If that's really the case, then this person is really a hundred secrets." Chen Xi said with a sigh.
"But there's a second possibility. That is, in fact, the real fire point is not in the bedroom, but in the place adjacent to the bedroom, which may be in the kitchen or in the living room, so that the previous time problem can be solved by the way. ”
"It's also possible for a person's body to be covered with flames, and her body to roll around the room in pain, and if possible, I prefer to believe in the second possibility. The first guess is a bit cruel for Zhang Jingya. ”
"Do you think that if someone was really at the scene at the time, seeing Zhang Jingya burned by the flames but indifferent, they would have used the explosion to protect themselves and cover up their crimes. That's cruel, isn't it? ”
"Hmm." Chen Xi didn't know how to answer, so he nodded weakly.
"But the truth is, when we found Zhang Jingya's body, she was in the bedroom, and if she was hit by the blast wave in the living room or kitchen, how likely is it that she will return to the bedroom in that case? If one is still conscious, it may be possible. But at that time, on the one hand, Zhang Jingya was engulfed in flames, and she was hit by the blast wave, she was very likely to have lost consciousness on the spot, how could she return to the bedroom by such a coincidence? Wei Zhongwen asked rhetorically while analyzing.
Although Wei Zhongwen knew that for Chen Xi, perhaps the truth of the case was unacceptable, if this was the case, they had the obligation to accept it and bear it.
"Captain, I don't know... I don't dare to think about it, every time I think of the fire scene, I can hear someone screaming at me for help, screaming at me, and even more, I can feel the heat of the flames, as if they are going to burn me together..."Chen Xi said, his eyes full of horror and fear.
"Don't think about it, you're just tired, and if you're afraid, don't think about it anymore. Just leave this matter to me. Wei Zhongwen said comfortingly. This was the first time he had encountered Chen Xi retreating, and perhaps the fire was still a bit heavy for her.
"I'm sorry Captain, for disappointing you." Chen Xi said, silently lowering his head, as if he didn't dare to look directly at Wei Zhongwen.
"You don't have to worry too much about that, just get used to it later. And what I just said is just my guess. As for whether there was another person at the scene, I'm afraid it's really hard to verify. On that day, the fire and explosion caused the whole scene to be in chaos, and no one would have noticed whether there was a stranger there. ”
"If that's the case, could it be that the person who wants to use the bombing to cause a riot and then take advantage of the chaos to leave, so that it won't attract the attention of other people." Chen Xi seemed to remember something, pondered for a while, and spoke.
"If the other party really played this calculation, then I can only say that he did it successfully. And at the same time, he also did a good job in terms of time. The first is to let yourself smoothly withdraw from the trap and not let yourself fall into the fire. The second is to take advantage of the chaos to successfully blend into the crowd and leave the scene of the crime, and no one knows it. If there really is such a person, I must admit that he is very good at planning and plotting this, otherwise, he would not have retired so easily, and he would not have been until today, when the police began to notice that something was wrong. ”
"Captain, so far, we can only investigate the monitoring of the community again, to see if there are any suspicious people in and out on the day of the fire, at the beginning, we didn't think about this aspect, so when investigating, there will be negligence, but now it is different, since there is a target, the investigation will be more targeted. It is more likely that the suspicious person will be found smoothly. ”
"That's right, if there is, you must find him out, and you can't let him do anything wrong no matter what." Wei Zhongwen said and nodded heavily, as if he agreed with Chen Xi's statement.
"Captain, don't worry, as long as there is this direction, the police will definitely cooperate fully, no matter what clues there are, they will not let it go casually." Chen Xi said, as if he had regained his spirits, full of energy.
At the beginning, because of the discovery of the diary, Wei Zhongwen simply thought that Zhang Jingya's case was just a suicide case, but after some investigation, gradually, he found that there were more and more strange places left at the scene.
As just said, "time" and "distance" are two strange places that exist, and in addition, there may be, but Wei Zhongwen has not discovered them in a short time.
If the murderer just wanted to use the explosion to divert the attention of the police, it can only be said that he is half the battle.
On the one hand, when the explosion occurred, the police did not think about it in other directions, and thought that the explosion occurred only because the spark accidentally ignited the natural gas, which caused the explosion in the room. For a coincidence, it is enough.
But on the other hand, it was precisely because of the explosion that at this time, the outside world did not know how many pairs of eyes were staring at this case, and because of this, an inexplicable pressure prompted Wei Zhongwen to pay special attention to this case, which increased the police's attention to the case.
The two problems of "time" and "distance" left behind by the place where the crime was discovered were discovered by this coincidence.
Therefore, if the original purpose of this person at that time was to use the explosion to cover up something, it can only be said that he did everything he could, but he still failed to fall short.
Of course, if he could, Wei Zhongwen would also be willing to deal with Zhang Jingya's case as an ordinary suicide case, so that no matter who it was, it would be much easier, but the reality was in front of him, and these visible doubts made Wei Zhongwen wonder.
And he can't take these things as invisible in any way.
With further investigation, Wei Zhongwen became more aware of the complexity of the case.
If Xu Ziqing did not die by suicide, then the case of Zhang Jingya, which is closely related to it, will the deceased die by suicide?
A big question fell on Wei Zhongwen's heart, the more questions represent the more pressure, these questions are not answered for a day, Wei Zhongwen's heart will not be relaxed for a day.
At this time, Wei Zhongwen had to sigh and even pray in his heart that the matter could be resolved one day earlier.
Wei Zhongwen looked at Chen Xi on the side, also with a thoughtful look, and he asked, "Have you made any new discoveries in the past few days?" ”
"Yes!" After listening to the other party's question, Chen Xi suddenly became energetic and replied loudly. She straightened out her train of thought, and continued: "Since discovering the relationship between Feng Ming and Qin Kai, every time we investigate, we have linked the two cases together. ”
"Yes, as long as you have the right idea, it's much easier to find useful clues." Wei Zhongwen said approvingly.
"Well, that's right. In the past two days, we have mainly investigated and monitored, and divided into two groups of people, one group of people to check the monitoring of Zhang Jingya, and a group of people to check the monitoring of Tao Zheng, just to further confirm that in the week before Zhang Jingya's death, both parties had contact with someone at the same time. ”
"Well, what about after that?" Wei Zhongwen said and nodded, as if agreeing with Chen Xi's approach.
"Haven't you checked it before, in that week's time, although Zhang Jingya and Tao Zheng both appeared in the same place by coincidence, there was no direct contact between the two of them, so I was thinking, who could it be that arranged these two people in the same place? Will this person who is playing tricks behind his back meet these two again? So, I took this as a starting point and did a further investigation. ”
"Your thinking is correct, a week is not a short time, this person hiding behind the scenes is very likely to be someone the two of them met, otherwise they would not have arranged such a coincidence unknowingly. So what did you find? Wei Zhongwen asked, he knew that since the other party had already opened his mouth, he must have already discovered something.
"Captain, you may not believe it, in the course of this week, there is a person who has met Zhang Jingya twice, this person is wearing sunglasses and a mask, and he comes prepared at first glance, and he doesn't want to be recognized."
"Wearing sunglasses and a mask...", this familiar dress suddenly attracted Wei Zhongwen's attention, and he suddenly remembered someone. Could it be Qin Kai? In the past few weeks, Wei Zhongwen has long been aware of Qin Kai's outfit. Every time he goes out, he wears a pair of sunglasses to hide his identity.
"That's right, it's Qin Kai." Chen Xi said and nodded together. "If it weren't for the surveillance in the past few weeks, we wouldn't have recognized this person as Qin Kai at all."
"It turned out to be him..."The sudden clue made Wei Zhongwen couldn't help but be confused. If what Feng Ming said before was true, then the person who secretly had a tryst with Zhang Jingya should be Qin Kai, not Tao Zheng.
