Chapter 22: Looking for a needle in a haystack
After that, Mu Zihan didn't explain specifically, but just drove directly to the police station. www.biquge.info Although I still have a little uncertainty about the weapons and firearms in our car, I am even worried about being discovered by the police. However, just as Mu Zihan said, the matter has come to this point, and he can only pretend that nothing happened. Otherwise, it will appear that he is a thief, and it is easier to arouse Uncle Wang's suspicion.
After parking the car in a relatively secluded location, Mu Zihan and I hurried to Uncle Wang's office. However, when we walked into the office, we found that not only Uncle Wang, but also the criminal policemen Xiaohu and Fang Ling were inside, as if these three people had been waiting for us to arrive.
When Uncle Wang saw us, he smiled and motioned for us to sit in the vacant position, and said, "Okay, since Zihan and Siyuan have also arrived, let's get down to business and talk about the follow-up of Tang Xin's case." First of all, Fang Ling, let's tell me about Tang Xin's autopsy. ”
"Hmm." Fang Ling picked up the folder that was originally placed beside her, opened it and glanced at it, and began to narrate: "Let me briefly introduce Tang Xin's specific information first. Tang Xin, female, height 159cm, weight 45Kg. Due to the massive intracranial hemorrhage caused by the fall from the building, multiple fractures in the body and rupture of internal organs, the rescue was ineffective, and the death was confirmed at 4:13:36 yesterday afternoon. ”
"Wait, 159cm tall? Isn't she more than 160? I asked, confused, interrupting.
"Don't interrupt, a woman's height can't be measured simply by the eyes. You don't know there's such a thing as high heels? Shut up and listen. After Fang Ling glared at me, she said angrily, and then began to continue the narrative.
However, in fact, the key point she said is basically the same as the information that Uncle Wang told us on the phone before. That is, it was found in Tang Xin's body that she had taken a large number of sleeping pills; and before she fell from the building, she had had sex; and on Tang Xin's corpse, there is a slender strangulation mark on the armpits, chest and back.
After Fang Ling finished speaking, Mu Zihan asked, "Is that strangulation mark basically flush, it looks like there are thin lines that go around Tang Xin's armpits, and then tightly strangle her body?" ”
"Well, yes. Moreover, it has also been determined that the strangulation marks were caused by Tang Xin before his death. Fang Ling replied.
"Sure enough." After listening to Fang Ling's answer, Mu Zihan smiled mysteriously and stopped talking.
"Let me tell you about the results of our investigation today." Uncle Wang said, motioning to the criminal policeman Xiaohu to take out the things and arrange them one by one on the coffee table in front of us.
In fact, there are not many things, just a palm-sized, sharp at one end, and a wide and flat triangular wooden block at the other end, and a thin line like a fishing line is tied to the wooden block, but it is obviously thicker than ordinary fishing line. In addition, there are two confession records.
According to Uncle Wang, the two confession records were from the property of the single apartment investigating the cause of the elevator failure. The other is the confession of an eyewitness who witnessed the whole process of Tang Xin's fall.
According to the property, in fact, the elevator was destroyed by human means at that time, so it was fixed on the 10th floor, and the wooden block with the thin line was found on the top of the elevator.
The witness, one of the residents of the building across the street from the bachelor apartment building, was a housewife, and she was the one who warned us to be careful.
She happened to be doing laundry at that time, so she happened to see Tang Xin from the window, and Tang Xin seemed to have kept her head down, looking downstairs, and didn't move. Then, the witness saw that the potted plant that had been placed in Tang Xin's hand suddenly turned over the windowsill and fell. Just when she shouted at us to be careful, Tang Xin actually jumped down.
Mu Zihan looked at these two confession records, fell into deep thought, and asked after a while: "In other words, in fact, this witness did not see the whole process of Tang Xin's fall from the building with his own eyes at that time. Or to be more precise, she didn't see whether Tang Xin was pushed downstairs or jumped off the stairs by himself. ”
"Well, that's right, that's true, so it's a headache." Uncle Wang nodded and said, "Then Zihan, what do you think?" ”
"In terms of opinion, there is indeed a point. However, as it stands, everything can only be regarded as speculation, including this evidence, which in fact only confirms one of my previous thoughts. Mu Zihan replied in a low voice:
"What thoughts?" Uncle Wang then asked.
Mu Zihan smiled bitterly and said, "Uncle Wang, this idea has been confirmed, but it is actually not a good phenomenon. Hey, my guess is that Tang Xin was not actually pushed downstairs directly. Instead, the murderer used a mechanism to make her fall down the stairs by herself. So, instead of narrowing the scope of suspects, the range of suspects has expanded. Judging from the current situation, not only the people who were in the bachelor apartment at the time were suspicious, but even the people around the apartment at the time, as well as the people in the apartment building opposite her, were also suspicious. ”
No, judging from the current situation, there are already more than 30 suspects, and if the scope is expanded according to what Mu Zihan said, I estimate that there will be at least several times more suspects. So how can this case be investigated?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but say, "By the way, have you conducted an investigation on people Tang Xin usually doesn't call familiar?" Perhaps, this case was also started by an acquaintance. After all, the door of Fang Ling's house has no traces of being pried, and they are all 'butterfly' organizations, so it is possible that they will also have some contact in normal times. ”
"Are you a pig? First of all, I can tell you that this must be done by an acquaintance, and it is even certain that it must be someone Tang Xin trusts very much. Because, if it was a stranger, it would be impossible for her to take so many sleeping pills on her own initiative. If it is forced, then you need to forcibly control her, and then pinch her mouth open and pour it down. In this way, there will definitely be scars on Tang Xin's corpse. Mu Zihan said angrily: "However, because they are also members of the 'Butterfly' organization, even if they usually have contact and communication, there will be no traces left." Even, in front of people, they will most likely pretend to be strangers who don't know each other. You know? ”
I was so reprimanded by Mu Zihan that I could only pout my lips and think: Didn't I just want to help narrow down the range of suspects? As for the training so hard?
"This is indeed the case, we have investigated Tang Xin's usual friends. found that she seemed to have some contacts with some colleagues in the hospital, and she couldn't even find out the information of her parents. Therefore, according to our inference, in fact, even the name of Tang Xin and the identity information registered in the hospital where she works are all forged. Uncle Wang confirmed.
Hey, it's really troublesome, and we can't get started. The range of suspects is so large that it is still impossible to determine who exactly is the suspect, after all, no one can remember the people who were near the building at the time. To put it bluntly, in the current situation, we are simply looking for a needle in a haystack, and we can only be helpless.
