Chapter 42: There is something strange about the case
Wang Kui's surrender seems to have made the case conclusive, after all, only Wang Kui is still alive among the people involved, and now that he has surrendered, the case should be closed, but Li Muyu always feels that the case does not seem to be so simple.
The subsequent news of Chen Lei's death made Li Muyu more certain of this fact, and the case was strange. Because Li Muyu clearly remembered that Chen Lei and Zhang Limin were people who had nothing to do with the case. Even Chen Lei didn't know what was happening. If it is Li Jing's revenge, why is Chen Lei involved?
When Li Muyu and Hu Ze arrived at the scene, Chen Lei's body had already been transported back to the police station in advance. There was only a pool of red blood left on the ground, which was shockingly placed on the side of the road.
The building from which Chen Lei jumped was an office building, with a total of 12 floors high, and the fourth and fifth floors of the office building were leased to an express hotel. Before the incident, Chen Lei lived in this hotel.
Li Muyu asked the waiter at the hotel about the situation and found that Chen Lei lived here after separating from him that day, but nothing strange happened to Chen Lei living here, including Chen Lei's mental state.
In fact, although Chen Lei is not a bad person, Chen Lei's character is strong and very independent, when she was frightened and faced with Li Muyu's help, Chen Lei decisively refused, and Chen Lei lives here and lives a normal life every day, and it seems that she is not affected by Wang Yue's death, maybe Chen Lei's heart is really like what she said, Wang Yue, or Gao Yan, their deaths are all deserved.
Li Muyu and Hu Ze walked into the room where Chen Lei lived, the room was not big, the lighting was good, and there was no haze in the room, but they felt energetic during the day. Presumably, Chen Lei only regarded this place as a transitional residence. But why did Chen Lei commit suicide by jumping off a building?
Li Muyu and Hu Ze came to the top floor. The staircase leading up to the roof from the top floor was closed, but now, for some reason, the closed iron door was wide open.
Li Muyu walked to the iron gate and observed carefully.
"The iron gate used to be locked." Hu Ze on the side said to Li Muyu. Hu Ze said, pointing to the scratches on the iron railing of the iron gate.
"This is obviously left by the chain here all the year round, and since there is an iron chain, then everything here must be locked." Hu Ze analyzed.
Li Muyu nodded, looked at the open door, and had a conclusion in his heart.
Li Muyu and Hu Ze walked onto the rooftop, the roof of the building is not large, because it has not been cleaned all year round, the bottom of the roof of the building has fallen a thick layer of dust.
Li Muyu and Hu Ze saw that on this dust, a pair of footprints appeared on the ground. It should be Chen Lei's, Li Muyu judged. Li Muyu and Hu Ze followed the footprints and walked straight to the rooftop of the building.
This should be the place where Chen Lei jumped down, Li Muyu looked down, although the building was only twelve floors, it was still quite high to stand on the top of the building and look down like this.
At this time, Hu Ze on the side found a clue: "Chen Lei turned around here." As he spoke, Hu Ze pointed to the last pair of messy footprints on the ground on the side of the building.
Li Muyu suddenly imagined the scene at that time in his mind.
Chen Lei walked on the rooftop and walked to the edge of the rooftop step by step, but Chen Lei, who was standing on the edge, didn't seem to be jumping down, looked downstairs, turned around, and prepared to go back......
But Chen Lei finally fell from the building, why is this?
"Chen Lei's foot size should be 37 yards." Hu Ze found something at this time and said to Li Muyu.
Size 37? Li Muyu suddenly remembered that the footprints at the scene of the car accident were also 37 yards, could it be that it was Chen Lei who left footprints at the scene of the car accident on the provincial highway at that time? But judging from Chen Lei's previous performance, it shouldn't be.
Li Muyu couldn't continue to deduce in his heart, and Hu Ze on the side also looked at the shoe print and didn't speak.
The two returned to the police station, because there was no valuable evidence at the scene except for the last turning footprints, as if Chen Lei really committed suicide. However, Li Muyu believes that Chen Lei will not commit suicide, she is a strong woman, how can such a woman commit suicide, and the last pair of footprints also shows that Chen Lei has no intention of seeking death.
But a pair of footprints alone doesn't tell the story at all. Li Muyu sat at the desk and was a little worried. Hu Ze on the side didn't know what to be tinkering with, so he raised his head and took a long breath and said, "It's finally fixed." ”
Li Muyu looked at Hu Ze, it was a fragmented mobile phone, but under Hu Ze's hands, the mobile phone gradually recovered some functions, at least the screen lit up.
"Is it Chen Lei's mobile phone?" Li Muyu asked Hu Ze.
Hu Ze nodded, and Li Muyu leaned over and looked at the phone. I saw that after the phone was turned on, Hu Zedian first clicked into the call record, but there was no special record in the call record. Immediately afterwards, Hu Ze opened the text message, and at this time, Li Muyu also saw a strange text message here.
It's a text message from Li Jing again!
Hu Ze opened the text message and saw that it was written.
"I'll be waiting for you on the rooftop. Come up, I have something to say to you. ”
After a while, Chen Lei replied with a text message: "Where are you?" I came up. ”
followed by Li Jing's text message: "You go forward, go straight forward." ”
There was no further news after that.
Could it be that Chen Lei was led by this text message to jump down? Li Muyu asked Wang Kui for the last time, and found anything on Li Jing, especially the mobile phone. Wang Kui clearly told Li Muyu at that time that no, Li Jing had nothing on her body at that time. And from Wang Kui's words, Li Muyu seems to have found that Chen Lei and Li Jing should have a good relationship. It may be the experience of sympathy that makes Chen Lei occasionally take care of Li Jing, a little girl.
If it was really a text message sent by Li Jing to Chen Lei, and Chen Lei walked to the rooftop because of a text message, then Chen Lei did have a good relationship with Li Jing, and even said that they were friends.
But the later text messages made Li Muyu a little indistinguishable, and kept walking forward, and the footprints also showed that Chen Lei had indeed kept moving forward, but when he reached the end of the rooftop, Chen Lei obviously turned around. Could it be that at the end of the rooftop, Chen Lei saw Li Jing, and Chen Lei was really killed by Li Jing?
Li Muyu shook his head, feeling that this matter would not be so simple.
"You go and ask Qin Yao." Hu Ze, who was on the side, also felt that something was wrong and reminded Li Muyu.
"Isn't she still recuperating at home? Ask her what to do? Li Muyu asked Hu Ze with some doubts.
"Just ask." Hu Ze rolled his eyes, and Li Muyu said.
