"That's right. There are many statements that I think I have seen that person, and the person in charge of inquiring is a little impatient. ”

"So, there's no useful information yet?"

"yes. Alas, in our line of work, we have to keep repeating the taste of throwing a fist and failing to do so. It's very different from a world like yours where you can get affirmation if you make sense. ”

Wu Minhua asked again: "The body is disfigured, isn't it?" ”

"That's right, even the fingerprints were burned, probably because I didn't want people to find out the identity of the deceased."

"What tools were used to disfigure?"

Tian Chunda said: "I didn't find a tool, the murderer Bacheng prepared something like a hammer in advance, and it was judged that he should have used a tool to hit his face many times and shattered his bones." The teeth and jaw are also fragmented, so it is not possible to compare the dental case data. ”

Wu Minhua put down the teacup and rested his elbows on the table. "If that Liu Jing is the murderer, you should have imagined what actions she took that day. You must think she lied when she said going to the cinema, right? ”

"I'm not sure it's a lie."

"Anyway, you can talk about your reasoning first." Wu Minhua waved his hand and said.

Tian Chunda frowned and licked his lips. "I can't talk about any reasoning, but I think so: Liu Jing was past six o'clock when she got off work, and if she took a taxi to the vicinity of the sewage treatment plant where the crime was found, she should have arrived at about seven o'clock."

"What about the actions of the victims during this period?"

"The victim is also going to the scene of the murder, and Bacheng and Liu Jing have made an appointment in advance."

"Let's assume that this is how Liu Jing and the deceased met at the scene. You go on. ”

"Although I made an appointment to meet, I think Liu Jing was hiding somewhere. As soon as he saw the deceased appear, he quietly approached from behind. Put a rope around the neck of the deceased and tighten it firmly. ”

"Stop." Wu Minhua opened his hands, "What is the height of the deceased?" ”

"It's over 170 centimeters." Tian Chunda replied with the impulse to think about it, he knew what Wu Minhua wanted to say.

"Where's Liu Jing?"

"About 160 centimeters."

"That's a difference of more than ten centimeters," Wu Minhua held his cheeks and grinned, "You should know what I'm trying to say, right?" ”

"It's really hard to strangle someone who is taller than yourself. According to the angle of the strangulation marks on the neck, it can also be seen that the deceased was pulled up and strangled to death. However, it is also possible that the deceased was sitting. Also, there was a minor who helped to do it. This made me even more suspicious of Liu Jing's mother and daughter. ”

"And then? Strip off your clothes, smash your face with the hammer you brought, and burn your fingerprints with a lighter. Then burn the clothes and flee from the scene. Is that so?

"It's not impossible to get to the cinema at nine o'clock."

"Yes in terms of time, but this reasoning is too far-fetched. The people in the task force shouldn't all be the same as you think. ”

Tian Chunda's mouth was crooked, and he drank the water in the dry glass in one gulp. only then turned his face to Wu Minhua's side.

"It's that some detectives think that women shouldn't be able to commit crimes."

"Look. No matter how unexpected it is, as long as it is resisted by men, it will be very difficult to commit the crime. And men will definitely resist, and it is also difficult for women to dispose of corpses afterwards. However, if there is someone to help with it, it is more likely. ”

"I'm just thinking of it as one of the many possibilities."

"It sounds like you have something else in mind. Since you've said it all, don't be stingy and listen to the other assumptions. ”

"It's not that I'm going to sell it on purpose. The current version is based on the assumption that the place where the body was found was a crime scene, but it is also possible that the body was abandoned after killing someone else. Regardless of whether Liu Jing is the murderer or not, at least a few members of the task force are currently more supportive of that statement. ”

"Common sense does make sense, but you don't think that's the most likely. Why is that? ”

"It's simple. If Liu Jing is the murderer, then this statement is not tenable, because she does not have a car. And she doesn't know how to drive at all, so she can't carry the body. ”

I see, this is not to be overlooked. In any case, it would be more appropriate to determine that it was a man who committed the crime. ”

"This is the mainstream opinion of the task force, but this does not mean that it has a clear relationship with Liu Jing."

"You're saying Liu Jing has male accomplices?"

"At the moment, we are in the process of taking stock of her neighborhood. She used to be a wine girl, and it was impossible for her to have nothing to do with men. ”

Hao Dong reported to Tian Chunda: "I went to the 'Tiantian Gourmet' restaurant to investigate the situation of the gay man and found a noteworthy trend. ”

"What is it?"

A middle-aged female clerk who is good at pulling his wife's tongue said that a man in his thirties often comes to the store for light meals, and he seems to be interested in Liu Jing, so he often comes to the store. The man was a secondary school teacher. ”

"How did she know this man was a middle school teacher?"

"Once a middle school student came to the restaurant for dinner, saw this man, and called him 'Teacher Shi'"

"Teacher Shi? Is it Shi Lei? Tian Chunda thought and said.

"I inquired about the man's appearance, it should be Shi Lei."

"Then Shi Lei has the motive to commit the crime together. Let's talk to Shi Lei right away. ”

In the evening, Tian Chunda and Hao Dong came to Shi Lei's house again.

"Teacher Shi, we are here to inquire about some situations." Tian Chunda said to Shi Lei after sitting down on the chair.

"Ask whatever you want." Shi Lei replied calmly.

"You often eat at the 'Everyday Gourmet restaurant', right?"

"Yes. The food there was delicious and cheap, so I went often. ”

"Are you just going to eat?"

"What do you mean?" Shi Lei asked with a wink.

"I heard that you often go to dinner because you are interested in Liu Jing."

Shi Lei smiled, "Did you listen to a mouthy clerk?" These people are of low quality, so they are easy to gossip about others. But I just went to eat, and I didn't mean anything else. ”

Tian Chunda changed the subject: "I still want to ask in detail about that night." ”

"What night do you mean?"

"March 10th." Tian Chunda said, "I think you also know that it was the night when the case happened. Before, I asked Liu Jing if there was anything unusual that night. ”

"I remember. I'm supposed to answer you, nothing special. ”

"You're right, but could you please think about that a little more closely?"

"What does this mean? I really don't know anything, so I can't think about it. The corners of Shi Lei's mouth showed a slight smile.

"No, I mean, something that we don't particularly realize may actually be significant. We would appreciate it if you could describe that night in as much detail as possible, and you don't have to think about whether or not it is related to the case. ”

"Oh...... That's right. Shi Lei touched his neck.

"It's been a while since the incident, and I know it's not easy. So to help you remember, I borrowed this thing."

What Tian Chunda took out was Shi Lei's attendance sheet, the class schedule of the class he taught, and the school's notebook.

"After reading this, I think it may be easier to recall ......," Tian Chunda said with a smile.

As soon as he saw that, Shi Lei immediately realized the purpose of the criminal police. Although Tian Chunda's words were vague, what he wanted to know was obviously not Liu Jing but Shi Lei's alibi. Then he'll have to deal with it. Shi Lei changed his posture and sat down, straightening his waist.

"I went home after practicing at the martial arts club that night, so I should have been back around seven o'clock, and I remember saying the same thing last time."

"That's right. So did you stay in the house all the time? ”

"Well...... I think it should be. Shi Lei deliberately vaguely wanted to test Tian Chunda's reaction.

"Have you ever visited anyone's house? Or someone calling? ”

Tian Chunda's question made Shi Lei tilt his head slightly.

"Whose house are you visiting? Do you mean to go to Liu Jing's house? ”

Tian Chunda nodded.

Shi Lei shook his head: "No." ”

"So has anyone ever been to your house?"

"My family?"

"You'll wonder what this has to do with the case. The point is not what you did, we just want to try to find out what happened to Liu Jing that night. ”

"I didn't see anyone that night. Telephone...... I guess no one called me either, I don't usually get phone calls. I'm sorry to ask you to come here, but I don't have any information for your reference. ”

"Where, you don't need to be so polite. That's right-" Tian Chunda took out the school's attendance sheet, "According to this, on the morning of the 11th, you seem to have taken a leave of absence." I only come to school in the afternoon, is there something wrong? ”
