Late at night, in the detention room.
Wan Lu never imagined that she would one day be locked up here as a criminal suspect.
She was no stranger to this place, but she was still very reserved, and she didn't know where to put her hand when she first came in.
There was a cement "bed" in the detention room, and the suspect slept on this bed for a while when he was very sleepy, which was really torture, hard and cold.
Someone secretly took a few sofa cushions for Wan Lu, probably to let her sleep for a night, but she couldn't sleep.
When Yan Ruyu and Wu Cuo went to see her, she was sitting on the edge of the "bed" in a daze, sometimes with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and sometimes with sad eyes, as if she was recalling the days with Zhou Peng.
"Let's have something to eat." Wu Cuo handed Wan Lu a bowl of instant noodles that had just been flushed with boiling water.
Wan Lu took the instant noodles, but just put them aside.
Wu Cuo said: "Tomorrow morning, the leader will come down to interrogate you, I don't have much time to help you, now you have to recall carefully, if there are any suspicious people or things, or Zhou Peng's recent abnormal behavior, tell me." β
"Can I ask a question first?" Wan Lu said.
"You say."
"Why are you detaining me? I'm the informant and the girlfriend of the deceased, so you arrested me because of this? There must be some other reason, you know, right? You tell me. β
"You really don't know?" Wu said wrongly.
Wan Lu replied to Wu Cuo with an expression of "do you say it or not".
"Zhou Peng recently got a sum of money, a sum of money enough to save his company, at the same time, the stolen money of several vicious cases in the city hall has been cut off, the criminal is nicknamed Huang Que, and the organization suspects that Zhou Peng is Huang Que, and you are Huang Que's internal response."
Wan Lu opened her mouth and said nothing.
The amount of information in this passage is too large, and it is obvious that Wanlu can't digest it at once.
Yan Ruyu didn't care about this, stepped forward and handed Wan Lu a stack of survey photos of Zhou Peng's house and said, "Take a closer look, is there anything missing at home, the big one." β
"Bulky?" Wan Lu was very puzzled, but she still looked at the photo carefully according to what Yan Ruyu said.
After looking at more than 30 photos three times, Wan Lu finally shook his head and said, "No, there is nothing missing from the photos." β
Yan Ruyu took a deep look at Wu Cuo, and the meaning in her eyes was clearly asking: Will Wan Lu lie?
Wu Cuo hesitated, in front of anyone, he dared to pat his chest and pack tickets for Wan Lu, but he was a little timid in front of Yan Ruyu.
He knows Yan Ruyu too well, this guy only talks about evidence and not about human feelings.
Just when the two made eye contact, Wan Lu took out a photo alone and leaned in front of the dim lamp to look at it carefully.
"Huh? This place ...... "Wan Lu looked at the photo, and then looked at Wu Cuo.
Wu Cuo said anxiously: "Grandma, the fire has burned your eyebrows, you can tell me anything clearly." β
Wan Lu handed over the photo and asked, "This photo was taken on the afternoon of the crime?" β
"Yes."
"Here! Not right here! β
The photo was taken at the door of Zhou Peng's master bedroom, almost the entire master bedroom was taken in, and there was no point, compared with those photos that recorded the physical evidence at the scene, this one was more like the photographer pressed the wrong camera shutter, and even the photo was a little out of focus.
The design of the house probably wanted the owner to wake up every morning to feel the sun and freedom, so the inside of the bedroom is a small balcony.
The balcony is enclosed, with a wall about 1 meter high separating it from the bedroom, and the upper part is full of glass windows. Through the glass window, you can see some miscellaneous items piled up randomly on the balcony, as well as a few potted plants, but because of the 1-meter-high wall, you can't see what is on the ground.
At this moment, the glass door connecting the bedroom to the balcony is open, and the afterglow of the setting sun spills into the bedroom, giving the interior a goose yellow color.
"Something is wrong here!" Wan Lu pointed to the sunlight at the glass door of the balcony and said: "If the photo was taken in the afternoon, then the sunlight should be obliquely shining from the right side of the door, but I remember the location next to the right side of the door, behind this wall, there are a few cardboard boxes." At this time, the sunlight will be blocked by the cardboard box, and there should be a shadow at the door! β
"Are you sure?"
"I'm sure! And these cartons were brought back by Zhou Peng not long ago, I thought it was strange at the time, and asked him what was in the cartons, and he said that they were some company documents, so I didn't pay attention to them again. β
Carton?!
It seems necessary to go to the site for a revisit, especially to carefully examine the traces of the balcony.
It's a pity that before Yan Ruyu and Wu went out, a key piece of evidence that could be conclusive appeared.
A mountaineering rope was found in the trunk of Wanlu's car, and a small amount of blood was left on the mountaineering rope, and the bloodstains on the climbing rope were identified as matching the DNA of the deceased Zhou Peng.
The murder weapon has been found!
This evidence alone is enough to conclude that Wan Lu is the murderer in this case.
At ten o'clock in the morning, Wu Cuo stood in front of the trunk of Wanlu's car, with mixed feelings in his heart.
The climbing rope was found here, ironclad evidence.
How difficult is it to overturn the evidence?
Yan Ruyu looked calm.
He turned on the flash on his mobile phone, simply poked his upper body into the trunk, carefully inspected every corner of the trunk, and searched and rummaged in the car for a long time.
"No...... There was no blood. β
"What are you looking for?" Wu asked wrongly.
"Do you remember the abrasions on the hands of the deceased Zhou Peng? If Wan Lu had used this car to bring the deceased home from the scene of the crime, there would have been blood stains in the trunk, but I didn't find it. β
"Even if there was blood, it must have been cleaned up." Wu said wrongly.
"Then why don't you get rid of the ropes too? Keeping such evidence, it is as if Wan Lu stood at the gate of the city hall and shouted: Come and arrest me! I'm the murderer! β
Yan Ruyu took a deep breath of the morning air, suddenly felt a lot refreshed, and continued: "Let's go, go to the balcony of Zhou Peng's house to have a look." β
Wu Cuo rubbed his swollen temples, and also took a few deep breaths like Yan Ruyu.
Yan Ruyu drove, Wu Cuo sat in the co-pilot's seat, and the two were rarely silent.
"Are you worried that Wanlu will be wronged?" Yan Ruyu spoke first.
Wu Cuo lit a cigarette for himself, and then lit another cigarette for Yan Ruyu, and took a big puff in frustration before saying, "The evidence is too unfavorable for her." β
"The evidence can be faked, if this climbing rope hadn't been found, I still had some suspicions about Wan Lu, but now I'm sure the murderer is not her. As a criminal policeman, how could Wan Lu casually put the tools of the crime in the trunk of the car? This is one of them.
Second, the WeChat message that Wan Lu received on the day of the crime was definitely not sent by Zhou Peng, and the reason why the person who sent the message deleted and blocked Wan Lu's contact was to lure Wan Lu to Zhou Peng's company to confront and quarrel with Zhou Peng, and this had only one purpose: to make Wan Lu look related to the case and frame Wan Lu.
And the only person who is close enough to Zhou Peng to get his mobile phone in the company is Guo Liang. β
Wu mistakenly said: "When you say this, I think of it, Zhou Peng's parents once said that there are rumors about Wan Lu in the company, saying that she often meddles in the company's affairs, and Zhou Peng listens to him for everything, I absolutely don't believe it, we are criminal policemen, and we are busy solving cases, where do we have time to take care of other things." β
"You mean, the purpose of the rumors is to make us think that Wanlu has a problem."
"That's right! Moreover, as Zhou Peng's right-hand man, it is not difficult for Guo Liang to create this rumor in the company. β
The car was moving, Wu Cuo's mobile phone rang, he glanced at it, and turned on the speakerphone. On the phone, a criminal policeman said to Wu wrongly: "I investigated and learned a piece of news, on the afternoon of the day of the crime, Guo Liang left the company and went to an auction house, according to the person in charge of the auction house, not long ago Zhou Peng consigned a painting of Qi Baishi in the auction house, after identification, the painting is fake, yesterday they called Zhou Peng's assistant Guo Liang, Guo Liang went to take the painting back......
Hanging up the phone, Wu Cuo frowned, "Could it be that I was wrong in the first place?" β¦β¦ Zhou Peng's so-called fundraising, is he referring to this painting? And not those stolen money? β
"Nope! He's the Yellow Sparrow! Yan Ruyu is very sure, "There was a money laundering case six years ago, an auction house often sold unknown works of art at high prices, and later it was verified that the auction house was just a tool for money laundering. β
"What do you mean......"
Yan Ruyu sped up the car, "Give me the name and address of the auction house, send you to Zhou Peng's house, and I'll go to the auction house to have a look." β
