Chapter 14: The Truth About Car Washes
The killer used Chen Youfeng's mobile phone to send a message to Gong Libai, asking him to wash the car, in order to help destroy the evidence left on the car.
But Gong Libai didn't know that Chen Youfeng was killed at the time, so he went to pick up the car and wash it.
"Mr. Chen sent me a message in the middle of the night to ask me to wash the car, there must be something important, how dare I slack off?! I was lying at home playing on my phone, and I got dressed and went out as soon as I received the message. According to the address sent to me by Mr. Chen, I found Mr. Chen's car downstairs, but in the middle of the night, how can there be a car wash that opens the door? ! So I drove around Ningzhou City to see if I could find a car wash that was open. But I searched all night and couldn't find it. Eventually, I drove to the door of a car wash and waited for the car wash to open at dawn. Gong Libai told us the story of how he went to wash his car after receiving the news from Chen Youfeng.
According to him, he should have spent the night in the car, which is why Li Meng and I went to Gong Libai's house today to investigate, and he was sleeping.
I nodded, and there was no flaw in what Gong Libai said.
But the more I thought about it, the more wrong it became, and there seemed to be something wrong with it......
"Didn't you just say you slept at home last night?! Why did you say that you ran to the car wash again?! Still out for a night out?! I suddenly came to my senses and immediately asked.
Who knew that Gong Libai looked at me in a daze, and said to me confidently: "Yes, before Mr. Chen asked me to go to the car wash, I was sleeping at home." ”
"Huh?" I frowned suddenly, not understanding what Gong Libai meant.
Subsequently, Gong Libai explained to me with his own unique understanding: "Didn't you ask me last night? Last night it was before twelve o'clock, and I did sleep at home. I washed my car in the early hours of this morning, not last night! ”
After listening to him, I really broke down, his words were a bit forceful, but there was really no problem.
Some people like to refer to Saturday and Sunday as weekends, while others understand that weekends only mean Sundays.
But this shouldn't be difficult to understand last night...... Everyone will understand that last night is before dawn today, and no one will really count the date and time......
Maybe he really has something serious in his head......
"You went to pick up your car last night and washed it, and you went out all night shopping, who can prove it for you?!" I came back to my senses and asked again.
"Prove, how can I prove this, I don't even have a wife......" Regarding the question of needing an alibi, Gong Libai still looked aggrieved, saying that because he was a single, no one could help him prove it.
"You'd better tell me the truth, don't think that our criminal police are all dry meals, every intersection you drive through, there will be traffic light surveillance video, and there is a dashcam in the car, you can also know your trip last night." I looked at him seriously and said solemnly.
Who knew that Gong Libai suddenly muttered to me: "There is no dash cam in the car......"
"There is no dash cam in the car, and there will be no dash cam for 7 or 800,000 cars?!" I frowned, surprised.
"It turned out to be there, but it was demolished by Mr. Chen." Gong Libai said to me hesitantly.
Now, I'm even more curious, why would someone dismantle the dash cam on their car?
I sat on the chair and asked seriously, "Why did Chen Youfeng dismantle the dash cam?!" ”
"Then you don't need to ask, Mr. Chen often receives red envelopes in the car, and often in the car with the female secretary Qingqing and me, even if the dash cam can't shoot it, the recording function can also hear it. Mr. Chen is such a clever person, how could he leave such evidence......" Gong Libai lowered his head and said lightly.
I was once again persuaded by Gong Libai that Chen Youfeng accepted bribes in the car and traded power and sex, and he really couldn't be left with evidence.
In the face of our various questions, Gong Libai answered them fluently, and the answers were very credible, leaving no flaws.
If the murderer is not Gong Libai, then I can only say that this murderer is really not simple.
The murderer has thought about all the directions of the police investigation in advance, and has made a near-perfect answer.
"After you go to pick up the car, you drive to the car wash, is there anything in the car?" I paused and asked again.
"Something?" Gong Libai looked at me puzzled.
I nodded and explained to him, "Doesn't Chen Youfeng like fishing? And I always keep my personal fishing gear in the trunk of my car, when you go to wash the car, do you have it in the car? ”
Gong Libai recalled a little and shook his head slightly: "No, there is nothing in the car." ”
Later, he added: "There are only paper pumps, aromatherapy, and a large box of family planning supplies in the car." ”
"Is there any smell in the car? Such as the smell of alcohol, medicine, blood, etc.? I made up my mind and asked again.
Gong Libai still recalled a little, and still shook his head at me: "There is only the smell of aromatherapy in the car, and there is no other smell." ”
I nodded slightly, lost in thought.
After the murderer severely beats Chen Youfeng, he will definitely drive a vehicle to the artificial lake to carry out the next step of the corpse sinking plan.
Chen Youfeng was waiting for Jiang Xinrui in the living room that night, he would not take out the fishing tools, so the fishing tools must still be in the trunk of his car.
Could it be that the murderer only opened the trunk of his car and took away the fishing tools, but did not drive Chen Youfeng's car to the artificial lake?
Then why did the murderer use Chen Youfeng's mobile phone to send a message to Gong Libai and ask him to wash the car?
Was it just to make Gong Libai think that Chen Youfeng was still alive at that time? If that's the case, it's really taking off your pants and farting, and that's an extra move.
The murderer asked Gong Libai to wash the car, it must have been to cover up some evidence......
"Hey!" Gong Libai suddenly roared, pulling my thoughts back.
"I'm just a part-time worker, I'm Mr. Chen's driver, driving and washing cars don't break the law, it's Mr. Chen who breaks the law, you go to arrest him, what do you always arrest me?!" Gong Libai said impatiently.
Hearing this, I couldn't help but snort coldly, we wanted to arrest Chen Youfeng, but the king of Hades wouldn't let anyone go. If I had the ability of the Monkey King, I would go to Hades to restore his soul, and let him tell me who the murderer was.
But then again, this Gong Libai really has two faces, when we investigated at home, he was "tight-lipped" everywhere to protect Chen Youfeng, why did he sell Chen Youfeng this time?
It seems that the location of the investigation has been changed to an interrogation room, and sure enough, something new can be discovered.
