Chapter 33: New Clues
When Liu Tao heard this, his brows became more and more frowned, and he said, "If this is the case, then the case will be troublesome." β
Fang Mu nodded and said, "Yes, it's not a small trouble, but a big one." β
After listening to it, Chen Shi was a little confused.
"It's not a good thing to lock down the scope of the murderer's activities, we can carry out an investigation in the area of Xiacheng Street, I don't believe that the murderer can't be found."
"Hehe......"
Liu Tao sneered and said, "Investigation? You've never been to Downtown, have you? I've been a police officer in Silver City for so many years, and I don't dare to do that. β
Chen Shi looked puzzled: "Why? Is Downtown Street huge? β
"Not very big, but very big."
Liu Tao pushed away the information documents on the table, pointed to one of the areas on the map of Baiyin City, and said: "People who are a little familiar with Baiyin City know that Baiyin City is divided into three areas, namely the Shangcheng District where we are located, the Xiacheng District where gangs gather, and the Xiacheng Street, which has the largest population. β
Chen Shi looked at the map and frowned: "Xiacheng Street doesn't look big, less than a quarter of Baiyin City." β
Liu Tao was amused by Chen Shi.
"Naturally, it's not big on the map, but do you know that there are more than 7 million people in Baiyin City, how many people live in Xiacheng Street?"
"There are more than two million people."
"Huh!?"
Chen Shi was taken aback and said, "How can there be so many? β
Liu Tao pursed his lips and said, "Many?" Then you haven't seen Xiacheng Street ten years ago, ten years ago, nearly half of the people in Baiyin City lived in Xiacheng Street, and this is still a permanent population, and the floating population is more. β
"Hiss~~~"
Chen Shi couldn't help but gasp after hearing this, knowing how naΓ―ve his thoughts were just now.
"So what now?" Chen Shi couldn't help but ask.
Liu Tao leaned back, shrugged his shoulders and said, "What should I do?" Cold. β
Chen Shi looked at Liu Tao, then at Fang Mu, and found that Fang Mu was staring at the map and didn't know what he was thinking.
Regarding the conversation between the two, although Fang Mu was listening, he didn't pay much attention to it.
He had been thinking about what Xu Mo meant before he fell unconscious.
Through the investigation of Xu Lei's death, Fang Mu felt that it might not be the black shadow man who killed Xu Lei, but it was unlikely to be Xu Mo.
If the suspicion of these two people is ruled out, then the murderer who killed Xu Lei must be someone else.
So, the problem is back to square one.
What was the murderer's purpose in killing Xu Lei?
Distracting the police's line of sight and consuming their police power and energy?
But if so, what is the ultimate purpose of the murderer?
Or is Xu Lei's death actually unrelated to the 404 case, it is an independent case?
If this is the case, what was the motive of the murderer who killed Xu Lei? Why is there Chen Xuefeng's blood stain on the murder weapon?
In addition, what is the basis for Xu Mo's assumption that there was a fifth person at the scene?
The more Fang Mu thought about it, the more headache he felt, so he said all the questions he thought of.
After Liu Tao and Chen Shi listened, they both fell into deep thought.
After a long time, Chen Shi suddenly said: "You say, will what Xu Mo said be true, in addition to the fourth person, there is also a fifth person at the scene, and this person is both a bystander and a participant. β
"(Β°γΌΒ°γ) Huh!?"
As soon as these words came out, Fang Mu and Liu Tao were stunned.
Immediately, Fang Mu's eyes lit up, and he slapped his forehead and said, "Yes, why didn't I think of it?" β
Saying this, Fang Mu looked at the map again, took a pen and drew in circles on the map.
Then, he began to flip through the documents on the table again.
After a while, Fang Mu said to Chen Shi: "Go to the archives and bring all the archives of Zhao Yihong." β
"Master, what do you think of?"
At this time, Fang Mu had been completely immersed in the case, and his tone of voice was very impulsive.
"Where is all this nonsense, hurry up."
Chen Shi scratched his head, didn't dare to ask again, and quickly went to the archives.
It didn't take long for all the archives of Zhao Yihong's case to be brought over.
Fang Mu didn't look at the other materials in the archive, but picked up Zhao Yihong's confession and read it word by word.
The more I looked at Fang Mu, the more relaxed I became, and the more I looked at the smile on his face.
When he finished reading all the confessions, Fang Mu took a long breath and said excitedly: "I understand what Xu Mo meant?" β
"(Β°γΌΒ°γ) Huh!?"
As soon as these words came out, Liu Tao and Chen Shi looked at each other.
Especially Liu Tao, he still doesn't know what Xu Mo said before he fell into a coma.
After asking Chen Shi in a low voice, he understood what was going on.
"Did you find evidence that there was a fifth person at the scene?"
Fang Mu shook his head, took a long breath, and said, "The evidence has not been found, but I have found some doubts and clues. β
Immediately, Fang Mu told his discovery, and the content was similar to Xu Mo's analysis.
The difference is that Xu Mo made an analysis based on the limited information he knew, while Fang Mu made a guess based on a large amount of data and clues after comparing and verifying with each other.
After listening to Fang Mu's analysis and speculation, Liu Tao was taken aback and said: "If there is really a fifth person at the scene, then the Zhao Yihong case, the 404 case, and the Xu Lei case will probably have to be re-investigated." β
Fang Mu nodded.
Different from Liu Tao's heavy mood, Fang Mu had a feeling of pushing aside the dark clouds and seeing the bright moon at this time.
Chen Shi's focus was a little different, what he thought about was what kind of monster Xu Mo was, and in this case, he could still think that there might be a fifth person at the scene.
Based on this, it is speculated that the real murderers of the Zhao Yihong case and the 404 case are someone else, who is imitating the murderer of the 628 case.
"Is Xu Mo still human? How did he come up with this? β
Hearing Chen Shi's words, Liu Tao and Fang Mu glanced at each other, and then laughed.
The two of them, who were arguing not long ago, are now like good friends, and this is also the true portrayal of most police officers.
When the case is at an impasse, because everyone has different ideas, different opinions, and different methods of handling cases, quarrels are inevitable.
Now that the case has a new direction of investigation, Liu Tao naturally forgot about the unpleasantness just now, and couldn't help but talk about Xu Mo.
"Xiao Shi, you haven't been here for a long time, and it's normal not to understand Xu Mo."
"There are so many people in Baiyin City, there are people who can help our police solve cases, but there are not many, and there are very few people like him who have assisted us in solving cases many times, at least there is no second one in Baiyin City."
Fang Mu interjected at this time: "No, there is another person who has also assisted us many times. β
Chen Shi was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said: "There is another person?" Who is it? β
Fang Mu was silent at this time.
Liu Tao answered: "Xu Lang, Xu Mo's father. β
