The atmosphere in the office suddenly froze.

"Tell me about the specifics." Sister Mu's expression was solemn.

The Inquisitor nodded. "Jin Biao's car was found on the morning of the 6th, that is, at about 8 o'clock this morning. The location of the discovery was the only large reservoir in the suburbs, and people and cars were planted in it. At about 1 a.m. today, some nearby residents heard the sound of a crash coming from the reservoir, and in the morning they found that the protective fence of the reservoir had been broken and the ruts extended into the reservoir, so they called the police. After the police recovered, Jin Biao's car and body were found. ”

"Were there any witnesses around the incident?"

"No, but we found surveillance footage from a nearby road. Judging from the video, the car appeared at the highway intersection about 500 meters near the reservoir at about 0:40 this morning, and combined with the testimony of nearby residents, it is speculated that the time of the accident should be after that. The forensic doctor's preliminary determination of the time of Jin Biao's death was also within this range. ”

"What about the cause of Jin Biao's death?"

"The preliminary judgment is that it is drowning, and there are no fatal injuries on the body, and the police are investigating in the direction of the accident, but the specific will wait for the autopsy report to come out."

"Accident ......" Sister Mu gently supported her chin, "Did the surveillance capture the face of the driver in the car?" Can you be sure that it was Jin Biao himself who was in the car at the time? ”

"Got it." The investigator said and pulled up a video from his mobile phone, "The video happened to capture the driver's face, and it was confirmed that it was Jin Biao." In addition, we also found a package in the trunk of Jin Biao's car, which contained a dark brown trench coat and a black peaked cap. ”

"Dark brown trench coat and cap?" Ah Qi looked at Sister Mu, "Could it be ......?"

Sister Mu frowned slightly, "Have you checked the deceased's belongings?" Are there any ...... among the things salvaged at the scene? The ring? ”

"We have checked and the deceased was carrying a bag with a large amount of cash and seemed to want to flee to the provinces. Among the other items salvaged, there was no trace of the Blood Keystone. The investigator's tone was annoyed, "Because there was a flood discharge from the reservoir during the salvage at that time, the scene was very damaged, and many clues were washed away by the current, and our people also went into the water to look carefully, but they didn't find the ring, if the thing fell downstream along the river, it would be troublesome to find." ”

Sister Mu pondered for a moment, and then decisively gave instructions: "Aqi, accompany me to the scene." The rest of the people are here to be on standby, and any news is at hand. After saying that, he put on his coat and quickly rushed to the scene with Aqi.

The reservoir at the site of the accident is located on the northern outskirts of the city, surrounded by vast areas of farmland except for a few scattered abandoned factories. Although there were residential areas nearby, they were less populated and it was late at night, so the police did not have much to do to find eyewitnesses at the scene.

When Sister Mu and Ah Qi drove to the scene of the incident, it was already 9 o'clock in the morning, and the vicinity of the scene had been cordoned off by the police. After presenting the relevant documents, a police officer in charge of the scene accompanied the two into the scene.

"Based on the information shown by the ruts, it is speculated that the car suddenly turned from the road into the farmland near the reservoir, and it seems that it is trying to make a detour. But the car suddenly lost control and plunged headlong into the reservoir. The police officer explained the situation to Sister Mu and the others, "As for the reason for the detour, we speculate that it is to avoid the inter-provincial checkpoint ahead." Since Jin Biao is currently wanted by the police, he will inevitably be discovered if he passes through normal channels, so he wants to take a detour to escape to other provinces, but he didn't expect something to happen. “

Sister Mu listened and observed the scene carefully.

I saw a rut suddenly appear from the edge of a certain section of concrete road, stretching from farmland all the way to the concrete floor near the reservoir, breaking through the protective fence and heading straight for the inside of the reservoir. Since there is no separation zone on either side of the road, it is feasible to drive directly from the road into the farmland, and there is only one car rut at the scene, which should be consistent with the officer's inference.

"The surveillance photographed Jin Biao's car at 0:40 today, but the surrounding residents heard the sound of the crash at about 1 a.m., and the road is only 500 meters away from the reservoir.

Sister Mu said, walked to the cement clearing in front of the broken reservoir wall, and pointed to an area: "The rut here is very unnatural, judging from the dirt car prints on the ground, the car seems to be turning back and forth in this small area, stopping, and then suddenly starting to go straight to the reservoir wall, and ......" Sister Mu's eyes looked ahead along the rut, "From the pause to the impact, the whole rut is in a straight line, which is also the most abnormal place." ”

"This ...... How so? The officer was puzzled.

"If the brakes fail, the driver reacts instinctively and immediately hits the steering wheel to avoid a direct impact, so the rut must be curved." Sister Mu turned to look directly at the police officer, "This situation is more like the driver himself deliberately hitting the fence." ”

"You mean...... The deceased was suicidal? The officer was obviously shocked by Sister Mu's reasoning.

"It's hard to say if it's suicide, I need to see the autopsy report as soon as possible......"

Before Sister Mu could finish speaking, she saw another police officer hurrying over. "The autopsy report of the deceased came out, and the blood alcohol concentration was as high as 429mg/100ml, which is a severe drunk driving."

"The blood alcohol concentration is so high!" The police officer couldn't help but be surprised, "It's very possible to hallucinate like this, that's why there is such an abnormal impact." In this case, the rut question can also be explained. ”

"But why would those who were clearly preparing to flee get drunk? This doesn't make sense......" Sister Mu questioned.

"Hmm...... According to our investigation, Jin Biao seems to have a bad habit of alcoholism, and we also have quite a few of his drunk driving records. ”

"......" Sister Mu seemed thoughtful, but did not continue to ask.

"Can you sync the detailed autopsy report to us? There are also detailed information on the site. Aqi, who was next to her, made a request to the officer. After receiving a positive reply from the other party, Ah Qi and Sister Mu took some more photos and left the scene.

"From the clues that have arrived so far, it seems that the whole thing can already be painted." On the way, Ah Qi drove the car and sorted out his thoughts at the same time.

"Jin Biao planned to attack Chen Yan and seize the Blood Keystone due to the failure of the blackmail, so he planned the whole incident. At noon on May 2, Jin Biao set off from his home, went to a suburban telephone booth at around 15:15 p.m. and made a last coercive call to Li Li. But when he committed the crime, he didn't expect Ye Yu to appear temporarily, and in a hurry, he was accidentally seen by Chen Yan and took a photo. In order to confirm whether Ye Yu saw him at that time, at around 13 pm on May 3, he made contact in Ye Yu's apartment and tried to search Ye Yu's brain with the Blood Keystone, but accidentally discovered Ye Yu's expulsion physique. Jin Biao, who was in a panic, immediately exploded Ye Yu's apartment and car at around 23:30 that day, but fortunately, Ye Yu escaped in our bar that night, and we also found Jin Biao and Li Li following the sign of the Shengyanhui on the bomb. On May 5, we combined Li Li's testimony to issue a wanted notice for Jin Biao. In the early morning of the 6th, Jin Biao, who was trying to flee to other provinces, died because he drove a car into a reservoir while drunk. Aqi paused, "On the surface, the ins and outs of things are basically like this. ”

"Hehe, Aqi, do you think it's that simple?" Sister Mu chuckled and asked.

"Speaking of which, there are still doubts...... "Ah Qi was obviously a little hesitant, "Regardless of why Jin Biao, who is a gangster in the underworld, could think of such a sophisticated 'virtual reality killing' plan, Chen Yan's ring is the biggest suspicion." According to our previous reasoning, the ring ring is a virtual reality control device with an anesthetic needle, and the entire ring is a crime tool. If Jin Biao sold this murder tool to Chen Yan from the beginning, it means that he had premeditated to kill Chen Yan, but in this way, it is inconsistent with the motive we have drawn so far. ”

"In addition to these, there is the most important point......" Sister Mu curled the corners of her lips and smiled, but there was no half-joke in her tone. Our investigation went so smoothly that it wasn't normal in itself. At every step, someone seemed to have arranged clues, one link after another, leading our suspicions to Jin Biao, and finally ending the whole incident with this 'accident'. ”

“…… Are you saying that someone deliberately misleads our vision? ”

Sister Mu nodded slightly, "I'm afraid our initial direction was wrong." All of this should be deliberately let us see by the murderer, and the real mastermind behind the scenes may be hiding out of our sight. ”

"But now that Jin Biao is dead, there is no evidence, and the Blood Keystone is nowhere to be found, so we don't have any other clues to track it down......"

"We might as well change our thinking, the murderer is too deliberately misleading, and sometimes it will leave us with real clues. Aqi, do you think about how we suspected Jin Biao? ”

"The emblem of the Holy Face on the bomb...... Li Li's testimony...... And the video of the dashcam that was taken in the phone booth! Ah Qi suddenly realized, "Could it be that all this is deliberately arranged by the real murderer behind the scenes?" ”

Li Li's testimony aside, the phone booth that photographed Jin Biao was located in the middle of two abandoned buildings on the outskirts of the city, and the surrounding area was sparsely populated, why did it happen that a car happened to be in the alley at that time that day, and filmed the whole process? If the killer just wanted us to see that footage, then there was something very wrong with that car. ”

"Then I'll arrange to check the car right away. By the way, could it be that Li Li is the murderer? After all, the clue to the phone was given to us by this woman. ”

"It shouldn't be possible, Li Li's height is obviously different from the man in the windbreaker. Generally speaking, the body can be camouflaged, but the height is completely unavailable. In my judgment, Li Li should be just a chess piece. Sister Mu frowned and looked grim. And, if I'm not mistaken, she's not far from Jin Biao's end. ”

“…… Don't...... The murderer wants to be killed!? Aqi was shocked.

"It's likely, after all, Li Li seems to be related to the murderer behind the scenes, this is a time bomb for the murderer, if we suspect her and search her brain with a blood keystone, then the murderer will be completely exposed, so after the murderer uses Li Li, he will definitely get rid of her as soon as possible." Sister Mu sighed softly. "Actually, I've already sent more people to her quarters, hopefully...... It's still too late. ”

"Without further ado, we'll go find her now!" Ah Qi stepped on the accelerator and sped towards Li Li's apartment.
