Chapter 48: Tracing the Roots
The police quickly arrested the drivers of both parties, but the driver of the car carrying the missing person flatly denied that he had put the body thrown out of the trunk.
Xu Tian participated in the interrogation, and at around 21 o'clock that night, the two drivers who caused the accident were taken to the interrogation room.
The first person to be interrogated was the driver who was loaded with the body, and the driver looked stupid, and looked very frightened when he faced the eyes of the police, but this fear seemed to be indefensible, and it was not as frightened as when the criminal was exposed.
"The body was thrown out of your trunk, and even if you say you didn't put the body in, you can't escape responsibility." The police said.
"I can't tell, but I really don't know why there's a body in the trunk, I've been framed." The driver argued.
"Where was your car parked before?" Xu Tian asked.
"I have been parked at the unit today, and after work, I drove my colleagues to a nearby restaurant to invite customers to have a meal, and then drove home." The driver said.
"Is your home in the city or suburbs?"
"In the city, I work in a unit in the suburbs, and I go back and forth every day."
"And where was your car last night?"
"Last night? I spent the night at the bathing center near my unit, and I didn't go back to the city yesterday. ”
"Is your car parked in the unit or in the bathing center?"
"Stop at the bathing center, of course."
Through the questioning of the driver, the police quickly locked down the bathing center, basically the same as Xu Tian's speculation, the parking lot of the bathing center was not guarded by security guards, and there was a sign standing next to the small parking lot of the bathing center, free parking, car damage at your own risk.
Anyone would dare to park their cars in this kind of laughable parking lot, which is the best time for the bathing center to open, and the parking lot is almost full.
Naturally, there is no monitoring in the parking lot of the bathing center guarded by security guards, and the car could not be found out if it was parked there yesterday, which added a lot of difficulties to the police's handling of the case.
Xu Tian felt that the driver who caused the accident should not be lying, if the missing person came to the bathing center last night or was dragged to the bathing center and then stuffed into a car, this is also reasonable, but why did the car stuffed with the body have an accident tonight? Is this really a coincidence?
In the evening, someone reported that a friend was missing, followed by a fire in an anomalous hospital, and at this time a report was received, and the body of the missing person was thrown out of the trunk on the road to the city, and these three accidents can be said to have happened one after another.
According to the police's swift investigation, the answer given by another driver was because there was a car with high beams coming from the opposite side, and the car was very fast, when the car approached, the driver's eyesight had been temporarily lost, and when the driver reflected, the car had collided with the car pulling the body.
This is already obvious, someone deliberately let the car pulling the corpse cause an accident, and the corpse was originally calculated to appear on the road leading to the city, so that means that the missing person became a pawn of the ruling Tai Sui after being killed in the suburbs?
At this time, the forensic doctor had already sent the autopsy report, and the time of death of the missing person was from ten o'clock to zero o'clock last night, during which the driver had parked the car in the bathing center, that is to say, someone killed the missing person and moved the body to the parking lot of the bathing center, but Xu Tian felt that the murderer should not have randomly stuffed the body into a car, because if the murderer was not familiar with the driver, it was impossible to determine when the driver would take the road back to the city, that is to say, The murderer is likely to be the person next to the driver, or the driver himself.
Following this clue, Xu Tian proposed to interrogate the driver while investigating the people around the driver.
Two hours later, the police summoned three people who had spent the night with the driver at the bathing centre the previous night.
One of them was a subordinate of the driver who caused the accident, a young intern, male, 23 years old.
The other is a colleague of the driver who caused the accident, a 47-year-old male who is the manager of another department of their unit.
The last one was a 21-year-old female publicist who spent the night with the driver who caused the accident.
Through the confessions of the bathing center, the driver and the three suspects, it can be known that at about 8 o'clock last night, the driver and two colleagues walked into the bathing center together, and the three of them did a series of entertainment projects and then left the intern first at about midnight, and then the driver and another department manager each found a female public relations person to go into the private room and spend a good night together.
Until the morning, the driver had not seen the face of another department manager, of course, the female public relations had also gone out, and the driver suspected that when he was asleep, the female public relations also went out to greet other guests, so when the morning checkout, the driver also had an argument with the staff of the bathing center.
That means that the three suspects, including the driver who caused the accident, are all likely to commit the crime, but the police have not investigated that the missing person walked into the bathing center last night.
The police reviewed the surveillance video of the bathing center three times, and from the time the missing person disappeared on the old street in the suburbs yesterday until the time of his murder, the missing person was not seen walking into the bathing center, which means that the place where the missing person was killed must have been outside the bathing center.
At the time when the missing person was killed, the driver and some of his colleagues were already interns working on projects in the bathing center, and the only thing that was not with them at that time was the female public relations, and Xu Tian suggested that the police immediately interrogate the female public relations.
The female public relations who was taken to the police station looked very bad, with frightened eyes and thick dark circles, looking like she hadn't slept all night last night.
"I know what you want to ask me, and I'll tell you everything." Before the police started to culture, the frightened woman in front of him couldn't hold back.
"You know what we're going to ask?" Xu Tian asked.
"Someone died last night, and the murderer stuffed the body in the trunk of my client, and I know it all."
"How did you know about this? Are you involved? ”
"No, no, no! I didn't participate, but I saw it, and it was the man who killed someone and stuffed the body into the customer's trunk. ”
