At the investigation meeting held by the police task force, many police officers burst into laughter when they heard this statement from Criminal Police Officer Hao Dong. For this hypothesis, everyone agrees on the motive for committing the crime. However, Xiao Long drove the boat back to Ping'an Harbor at half past one in the afternoon of the 17th, and after reporting the situation of Tian Lang, his partner in the same boat, fell into the sea without a trace, lost consciousness due to excessive fatigue and sadness, and fainted to the ground, and was sent to a nearby hospital, where he lay in the ward for three days. It can be assumed that he had been manipulating sailboats in the endless sea until the afternoon of the 17th when Wu Ying was killed, and had spent the rest of his life in a hospital room thereafter. In addition to the doctors and nurses who entered the ward, in addition to the employees of the metal company he ran took turns to take care of them, he had absolutely no chance to get out of the ward.

Even though Xiao Long, as the chairman, colluded with employees to fake the illusion that he was always in the ward and did not have the time to commit the crime, if only one employee cared for him, he might be able to attack and defend the alliance, but it was very difficult to create the illusion by partnering with multiple employees. Such a fortress is easy to be breached, and collusion and fraud are also easy to be broken by the police, and if there is someone who is disgusted with the chairman of the board of directors among the employees who are involved in collusion and fraud...... Xiao Long couldn't have known how dangerous the consequences of doing so were.

Also, it will take at least two hours to get from the local hospital to Namgwang City, no matter how fast it is. If the road congestion is more time-consuming, and the crime has to be committed for at least twenty or thirty minutes, you must leave the ward for about three hours. For such a long time, no matter how many employees are allowed to jointly fake the illusion that they have no time to be at the scene of the crime, it is difficult to deceive the eyes of the nurses who enter and leave the ward from time to time. In addition, Xiao Long was in a state of unconsciousness due to exhaustion, and it would be too far-fetched to say that he could sneak out of the ward and commit murder that day. Xiao Long's theory of killing his wife is logically pale and weak.

The police task force was in full swing about Zeng Ji's questioning, and he denied everything. When asked why Wu Ying was missing from the hotel rooftop plaza and did not inform the hotel in time, he stressed that it depended on the special environment he was in at the time. In this regard, he also elaborated on his psychological state at that time. Whether he didn't leave Wu Ying's luggage tow box in the hotel room, or left Wu Ying's luggage tow box at Nanguang City Station, he babbled and defended that it was the continuation of that state of confusion, and he definitely did not plan to kill people as speculated by the police task force. On the evening of the 17th, I first went to the cinema to watch the foreign movie "Disappearing", and then went to the open-air beer bar to drink beer. He then hailed a taxi near the brewpub to get back home, and in short, he insisted that the above arguments were true. He also said that if the police could find the two taxi drivers who were carrying him, they could easily prove that what they said was true.

The police also inquired with the taxi company, but the two drivers have not come forward to prove it to him.

As for Zeng Ji, the police task force did not have convincing and conclusive evidence, and almost all of his suspected murders were presumptive by the criminal police. If such an indictment is put into the hands of the prosecutor, it will undoubtedly be returned for non-prosecution.

Despite that, however, the police task force was unable to release the suspect, Zeng Ji, because the suspect with more criminal tendencies than him had not yet appeared. But it seems unlikely that Zeng Ji will confess in a short period of time.

Zeng Ji was impulsive in the detention center, and many criminal police officers let him be impulsive, expecting him to leak the truth of the crime from his mouth without paying attention. If it is a reckless criminal policeman, most of them will shout at Zeng Ji: You bastard, it is precisely because you are a playwright who is indiscriminate that you will write that kind of script that tramples on the bottom line, hurry up and recruit from the truth!

What's even more embarrassing is that the police have not grasped the trajectory of the victim after he disappeared. Where did she go after she disappeared from the rooftop plaza of that hotel in Dongyang City? Suppose that Wu Ying moved to another hotel in Dongyang City according to Zeng Ji's instructions, as the police presumed, but there is no hotel in Dongyang at present, and there is a report of a woman who looks like Wu Ying staying in a guest room. It is assumed that Wu Ying stayed in a hotel after returning to Nanguang City, but these assumptions are not confirmed by facts. The police inquired about the express train conductor who went to Namguang that night, but the result was that the bamboo basket was empty.

In addition, it is assumed that Wu Ying was killed by Zeng Ji in Dongyang on the night of the 16th and transported to Nanguang, but the phenomenon of him returning to Nanguang alone does not seem to be valid. Suppose Zeng Ji packed the body into luggage and sent it from Dongyang to Nanguang, and then quietly took out the clearing where it was buried in the woods in Nanguang, which is even more unrealistic from the clues that have been detected so far.

Just when the case reached a dead end, Captain Tian Chunda decided to focus his investigation on Xiao Long.

At the police task force's meeting to analyze the case, when someone proposed to investigate Xiao Long's traces again, it caused a burst of laughter. However, after careful consideration, Captain Tian Chunda thought that this should be a breakthrough. Zeng Ji and Wu Yingqing have only experienced three months, no matter what happens in such a short period of time, it is hard to imagine that Zeng Ji has been put in a predicament where he has to kill Wu Ying. If Zeng Ji is suspected of murder, it is only because he has many ambiguous and vague deeds. Relatively speaking, Xiao Long's deeds are impeccable, and there is no ambiguity at all. From the evening of the 14th, he participated in the sailing race with other sailboats, until 1 p.m. on the 17th, when he sailed from the ocean to Ping'an Harbor, and after going ashore, he was taken to the hospital by ambulance, and lay on the hospital bed surrounded by many sights in the ward.

However, Officer Tian Chunda felt that Xiao Long's whereabouts should be investigated in further detail. Nonetheless, the suggestion may draw objections from other officers.

Officer Tian Chunda and Criminal Police Officer Hao Dong first went to Ping'angang Hospital and met with the doctor who originally diagnosed Xiao Long. Jing Nan, the director of the Department of Internal Medicine, is in his forties and is honest, and he gave the following answer to the criminal policeman's question: "When Xiao Long was sent to the emergency room, he was extremely tired and had a weak heartbeat, and the reason for his loss of consciousness was also his weak heartbeat. Since he was hospitalized at 3:30 p.m. on the 17th, he has been given cardiac injections and temporary oxygen inhalation. That night, he was still under critical observation, always with a nurse on duty, and the employees of the company under his command were also guarding all night. Although his body has gradually recovered since the morning of the 18th, the fatigue in his body has not completely disappeared, and he still needs someone to help him go to the bathroom. From the evening of the 18th, he returned to his normal state slightly, and his blood color became normal. Here's the medical record card for this emergency room that you can look at. "

Director Jing handed the medical record card brought by the nurse to the two criminal policemen.

Captain Tian Chunda and the young Hao Dong walked out of the hospital without being able to ask questions at all. The honest director of the internal medicine department explained: Xiao Long is his own patient, and he can't say anything more. Regarding his condition, he was under intensive observation on the 17th and 18th.

In this regard, the criminal police can no longer ask superfluous questions.

After leaving the hospital, Hao Dong said to Tian Chunda: "Xiao Long fainted on the ground, it can't be acting, right?" ”

"It's not impossible. His heart failure may also have been caused by his own medication. ”

Officer Tian Chunda replied with a stroke of his long chin.

Next, they went to ask the director of the sailing club.

The director of the club is called Yuan Wei, and he can also operate sailing boats. In response to the questions of the criminal police, he took out the sailing records of the day and explained: There were a total of seven sailing boats participating in the competition at that time, including Xiao Long and Tian Lang's Seabird sailboats, and they left Ping'an Harbor together at 7 p.m. on the 14th.

Four hours after the start of the voyage, the spacing between the sailboats was disrupted. That's because the sea is blowing a seasonal wind, that is, a southerly wind, which means that the boats are heading against the wind and are unable to get a straight route, so they are forced to move in a Z line. Some sailboats sail in a large Z line, some sail in a small Z line, and some sailboats sail willfully on the ocean with the wind, becoming unable to see each other's sailboats. From Ping'an Port to Sansha Island, it is very difficult to go against the wind like this, and it takes about 40 hours to sail in a zigzag. If you want to talk about arrival, you don't have to ask the locals to prove it after entering the port somewhere on Sansha Island, but you have to sail along the shore of the island for half a week and then return to Ping'an Port, and the time period for detouring along Sansha Island is about 9 am and 11 am on the 16th. Needless to say, there will be a considerable distance between the first ship at the front and the seventh ship at the rear, and the time difference may be three or four hours.
