Immediately, Tian Chunda ordered Hao Dongdao again:

"You call Chen Xiong to me right away and ask me what is in the newspaper."

Chen Xiong was called by the criminal police. However, no matter how Tian Chunda questioned, he flatly denied it.

"I didn't bring anything like that, Ai Yuting remembered it wrong."

He seemed so dissatisfied that he puffed out his cheeks and shouted loudly just for such a trivial matter.

"If you don't know, I'll tell you! The bread there was the handbag of the victim Meng Xiangyu! ”

Although Tian Chunda's reprimand was very harsh, Chen Xiong just rolled his eyes indifferently and said to Tian Chunda: "Don't be kidding! How can I take his handbag? Are you saying I grabbed it somewhere? ”

Instead, he turned from defense to offense, and did not answer the question directly, Tian Chunda continued to ask: "Where did you go after you left Ai Yuting's house at five o'clock in the morning?" Did you go to the Huimin Road Coal Storage Yard? You left your handbag at the Huimin Road Coal Storage Yard and left as if nothing happened, didn't you? ”

"No matter what you say, I don't know."

Chen Xiong said, turning his face to the side. His face turned pale, and his dull eyes became even more dull. However, he couldn't hide the wavering expression in his heart. Tian Chunda kept staring at every change in his expression.

Chen Xiong didn't let go, and said that he didn't know about the handbag at all. Tian Chunda temporarily suspended the interrogation.

"Team leader, it must have been Chen Xiong who threw his handbag at the Huimin Road Coal Storage Yard! Don't look at him pretending not to know, yes, it must be him. Hao Dong said to Tian Chunda.

"Hmm." Tian Chunda nodded. He added: "To be on the safe side, I will first detain him as a suspect in theft."

"However, where did Chen Xiong get Meng Xiangyu's handbag? If you don't figure it out, you'll have to release him before you can catch the evidence! Also, why did Chen Xiong deliberately throw his handbag at the coal storage site? ”

"It may be that the criminal moved the body to place B after committing the crime in place A out of the psychology of concealing the crime scene!"

"So, why did you deliberately throw your handbag on the spot? Isn't this the place where there are three hundred taels of silver? ”

At this time, Tian Chunda suddenly remembered the scene of putting pulverized coal in an envelope and taking it for testing. couldn't help blurting out: "That's right! Isn't it possible to carry pulverized coal in an envelope? ”

"The team leader said that the criminals had adopted the practice of carrying pulverized coal in envelopes. That is to say, the criminal put the coal dust from the Huimin Road coal storage yard in an envelope, brought it to Ji Chuan's house, and then, before killing Meng Xiangyu, let him suck in a large amount of coal dust. The tied victims could only watch as they sucked the pulverized coal into their lungs along with the air. So, is the Huimin Road coal storage yard a fake scene in disguise? Hao Dong looked at the team leader and said.

Tian Chunda nodded: "Yes, the criminal is very thoughtful. They know that we must dissect the victim's body for examination, and when they find that there is coal dust stuck to the lungs, they will definitely think that the victim sucked it himself, and no one will think that others are cheating. Therefore, as long as there is a place that is found to be the same carbonaceous as the coal dust in the corpse, it will definitely be considered a crime scene. ”

"So why put your handbag in the coal yard?"

"That's for people to pick it up and give it to the police. In other words, the criminal wanted to tell the police through this handbag: 'This is the scene'. Otherwise, wouldn't it be in vain to fan pulverized coal dust into the victim's mouth for half a day without letting people know where there is such coal? ”

"Well, their purpose is to create evidence that they didn't have time to commit the crime."

"Yes. The criminals wanted to explain that it was impossible to travel back and forth between Ji Chuan's house and the Huimin Road coal storage yard in a short period of time. No matter how fast you drive, it will take you an hour and 20 minutes to make a round trip. Therefore, Lu Tian's twenty minutes of going out without circumstantial evidence cannot be included in the scope of suspicion. ”

"So they brought Meng Xiangyu to Ji Chuan's house?"

"Exactly. The houses near Ji Chuan's house are scattered, and even if they make a loud noise, they won't be heard by outsiders. As for Meng Xiangyu, after he and Lu Tian came to Ji Chuan's house at about seven o'clock in the evening, they must have been tied up, forced to suck in pulverized coal, and then strangled to death, and the body was placed in the warehouse outside the house. After that, Ji Chuan went to invite his neighbors to his house for dinner, so that the neighbors could give them an alibi. ”

"Well, that's how it should be." Hao Dong thought about it, then nodded and said.

Tian Chunda continued: "Chen Xiong wanted to put his handbag at the Huimin Road Coal Storage Yard, so he left Ji Chuan's house at eleven o'clock. In the middle of the night, Lu Tian excused himself to buy cigarettes and went out for twenty minutes. In fact, he used his own car to transport Meng Xiangyu's body to the miscellaneous forest. After that, he returned to Ji Chuan's house and drank with Ji Chuan and several of his neighbors until 3:30 before dawn. At about seven o'clock in the morning, when the neighbors' mothers-in-law came to look for her husband who was sleeping in Ji Chuan's house, Lu Tian walked out unhurriedly, rubbed his eyes, and pretended to have slept like them until now. ”

"This guy is cunning." Hao Dong couldn't help but exclaim.

"Let's go search Ji Chuan's house right now! I think they've cleaned it up and eliminated the traces. However, if there is one or two small ballast left in any corner, it is strong evidence. ”

Tian Chunda led the criminal police to search Ji Chuan's home. Tian Chunda thought that Meng Xiangyu was probably forced to suck in the pulverized coal in the kitchen, so he took a magnifying glass and searched carefully in the kitchen, and sure enough, he found a few fine grains of pulverized coal in the corner. Half of the fingerprints were also found on the walls that had not been cleaned.

After laboratory analysis, the coal dust found in Ji Chuan's house was completely consistent with the composition of the coal dust inhaled by Meng Xiangyu. And the half of the fingerprints found on the wall of Ji Chuan's warehouse proved to be Meng Xiangyu's after comparison.

The criminal police summoned Ji Chuan. Under Tian Chunda's questioning, he had to confess completely. His confession proved that Team Leader Tian Chunda's reasoning about the case was completely correct.

Regarding the motive for committing the crime, Ji Chuan said that he and Chen Xiong were instructed by Lu Tian. Lu Tian was their boss, and they gave 60,000 yuan each, and they obeyed their orders.

The criminal police arrested Lu Tian, and he had to confess the real motive for killing Meng Xiangyu under questioning. As a result, the truth of Qu Lili's disappearance was revealed.
