Chapter 136: Serial Murders
"What's wrong?"
Jiang Bai noticed Liu Zifeng's excitement, "Is there any new news?" ”
"People are dead."
Liu Zifeng explained, "The criminal police team member who went to find Zhou Ming told me that Zhou Ming died at home. ”
Jiang Bai frowned, feeling that this matter was not simple.
I just found Zhou Ming, who was suspected of murder, but died at such a critical time?
"Shouldn't Team Zhao receive this news first?"
Che Hao said, looking at Zhao Bin, who was asking Chen's mother in the single-sided glass.
"The criminal police team told me that they couldn't contact Team Zhao, so they called me."
Liu Zifeng explained, "It is estimated that Team Zhao will also know the news later." ”
Another case.
This is similar to the case Jiang Bai encountered in the mysterious space.
The murderer in the first case was the deceased in the second.
However, Jiang Bai at that time misjudged the evidence, which led to the wrong reasoning of the murderer in the first case.
The murderer in the second case listened to Jiang Bai's words and killed an innocent person.
If the original design of this case is followed, it is very likely that the murderer in the second case will kill the real murderer.
With the experience of this case, Jiang Bai felt that Zhou Ming's death was very revengeful.
But everything will not be confirmed until we get to the scene.
At this time, he had a faint feeling in his heart, could this prove that Zhou Ming was the murderer of Shi Xinxin? Then someone retaliated and killed Zhou Ming?
But the case at hand has not yet grasped the key evidence.
And how did the murderer know.
"Okay, if there's any new news or questions, we'll get back to you."
After Zhao Bin finished the inquiry, he opened the door and asked Chen's mother to leave.
"Captain Zhao, don't worry, just ask if you have any questions."
Chen's mother nodded, "As long as I can find out the murderer of my wife, I am willing to do anything!" ”
Zhao Bin came to the one-sided glass and met with everyone.
"How do you feel?"
As soon as he said this, he noticed a missed call on his phone.
As the elite of the Kyoto Criminal Police Corps, Zhao Bin will never turn on his mobile phone during interrogation or confession.
"Team Zhao, the person is dead."
Liu Zifeng immediately told Zhao Bin about Zhou Ming's death earlier.
"What?"
His reaction was not as fierce as Liu Zifeng's, but his brows darkened into a line, and he also told everyone that things were getting more and more complicated, "Let's go to the scene over there first." ”
With that, they immediately left the transcription room.
"Jiang Bai, I feel weird."
In the car, Yan Xiyue, who was sitting on the side, thought about it and said, "I have a bad feeling, is there someone who doesn't want us to know the truth?" ”
Jiang Bai also has similar thoughts.
Maybe the real culprit wants to cut off the clue here, so that the pursuit cannot continue.
If you want to think about it this way, it indirectly shows that Zhou Ming is likely to have nothing to do with Shi Xinxin's death.
It's more likely that he knows some information.
The car drove into a small alley, in an old office building.
An office on the top floor is the place where Zhou Ming died.
Take the elevator up, in front of the door, the criminal police team members are evacuating the people watching the excitement.
"We're here to explain the situation."
Zhao Bin said, taking Jiang Bai, Che Hao and others behind him through the cordon.
"Team Zhao!"
The three team members saluted and explained the situation.
At that time, after they got Zhou Ming's specific address, they immediately came here to carry out the arrest mission.
But I knocked on the door several times, but there was no response.
They felt that it was very likely that Zhou Ming was inside, preparing to escape from other places.
So one person went downstairs and looked at the perimeter, and the remaining two were going to break down the door.
After taking the door pry tool from the car, they came to the door.
Because he didn't know what was going on inside the house, one person broke down the door in front and one person protected him with a gun in the back.
As the door was pried open, they saw Zhou Ming sitting at his desk with a knife stuck in his chest!
stepped forward to carefully confirm that Zhou Ming was no longer breathing.
"That's what happened."
"We tried to open the door and we were able to confirm that it was locked. ”
Thinking about the locked door, Jiang Bai looked inside, and it seemed that the window was also closed.
Before the criminal police team broke down the door, the inside was a secret room.
He immediately began to study door locks.
This is a very common security door, and there is nothing that can be used as a mechanism.
However, Jiang Bai saw that the key was inserted into the door lock from the inside.
At the same time, the rear of the key seems to be a bit charred.
When I touched it with my hand, it seemed that something had burned out not long ago.
"Jiang Bai, wear gloves."
Liu Zifeng reminded and handed him a pair of white gloves.
"This key part needs to be tested."
Jiang Bai said, and Che Hao immediately shifted his gaze.
"Well, the substance on the key is better to find out. Looks like it just burned out. ”
After observation, Che Hao affirmed Jiang Bai's words, "Did you see the key when you broke the door and came in?" ”
"At that time, our attention was on Zhou Ming, who died, and we didn't pay attention."
One of the team members explained, "After knocking on the door, we saw Zhou Ming here. ”
As he spoke, he pointed in the direction where Zhou Ming was sitting, "I'll go up with him to confirm the pulse, and then call Team Zhao." ”
What they said was the same as the matter of calling Liu Zifeng after contacting Zhao Bin before.
After studying the door lock, Jiang Bai and Che Hao came to Zhou Ming's body together.
It looks like he was stabbed in the heart with a knife and finally died of excessive blood loss.
Zhou Ming's corpse sat in a chair, head bowed, his left hand resting on the keyboard, and his right hand holding a knife that had pierced his heart.
There were large traces of blood on the gray clothes, and the carpet on the ground also "absorbed" a lot of blood.
The gesture was very much like suicide, but it was very different from the suicide that Jiang Bai knew.
It takes a lot of courage to pierce the heart, and it's more than hundreds of times more painful than cutting your wrists.
"Fortunately", Jiang Bai has experienced both.
The torture of the mysterious space, these two are relatively easy.
Although the gesture seemed to be suicidal, Jiang Bai could confirm that this was definitely his killing.
The environment of the secret room is creative and can be manufactured, and suicide cannot be concluded based on the secret room alone.
The body was still warm, and it should have died shortly after death, most likely when the criminal police came to knock on the door.
It didn't take long for Zhou Ming's body to be sent for an autopsy, and only a white line was left here to prove that the body was here.
"Zhou Ming is quite good at enjoying it."
Che Hao looked at the chair with some amusement, "The cushions and cushions of this chair have a background!" ”
After his introduction, Jiang Bai learned that the chair Zhou Ming was sitting on was a product developed by a friend of Che Hao.
It can store heat energy after a person sits on it.
It then adaptively adjusts to the ambient temperature.
It can basically ensure that the seat temperature is about 22 degrees Celsius, which is the most comfortable for the human body.
"Keep warm?"
Jiang Bai frowned when he heard this.
"Well, but this kind of chair is expensive, and according to the current situation of Zhou Ming's freelance work, he should not be able to afford it."
Che Hao was thinking about Zhou Ming's economic situation, while Jiang Bai was thinking about the corpse.
If the chair can be insulated, then Zhou Ming's death time needs to be pushed forward.
