Chapter 39: New Clues
The disclosure of the 404 case has aroused a great deal of public opinion in society.
But Xu Mo was hospitalized.
Although he still couldn't get rid of the identity of the suspect, it also temporarily let him out of the whirlpool.
At this time, the most uncomfortable and stressful is undoubtedly the police.
They not only have to investigate cases, but also face questions and speculations from the outside world, as well as pressure from their superiors and all parties.
It can be said that the police are now walking on a rope line at a high altitude, and the slightest carelessness will cause a great impact.
Of course, the case still needs to be investigated, but it is much more difficult than before.
As time went by and the investigation deepened, the police found more and more clues.
It's just that most of these clues point to Xu Mo.
First, before the 404 case, Xu Mo was investigating Chen Xuefeng, and had privately found a number of victims for questioning;
According to the evidence found from Chen Xuefeng's home, the police found many victims, and after questioning them one by one, some of the victims said that they had seen Xu Mo and provided Xu Mo with some evidence.
Second, because Xu Mo was suspected of committing a major crime, the police searched Xu Mo's current residence, and indeed found a lot of clues and evidence in the room for Chen Xuefeng's investigation.
Third, the police also found the suicide note left by Song Jiajia before committing suicide at Xu Mo's house.
The content of the suicide note, in addition to the many atrocities committed by Chen Xuefeng against her, also includes the text of her praying for Xu Mo to avenge her after her death.
After handwriting comparison, the suicide note was indeed written by Song Jiajia.
Fourth, the police found Xu Mo's plan to punish Chen Xuefeng and Shen Jiayi, as well as the information on the tools he purchased for this purpose.
After continuous visits and investigations by the police, according to the recollection of the owner of the tool hammer seller, Xu Mo did buy two tool hammers from him more than ten days ago.
Fifth, the forensic doctor conducted a second autopsy on the bodies of Chen Xuefeng and Shen Jiayi, and after detailed examination and comparison, it was found that the injuries on the deceased's body were similar to the victims of the 628 case, but they were more similar to the methods used to abuse female students in Chen Xuefeng's video.
Even many injuries can be found in the victimized female college students.
Of course, these are just clues.
The real evidence was found three days later.
Police have located multiple witnesses to the eyewitnesses.
First of all, when the police visited Baiyin University to investigate, according to the memories of the school's classmates and surrounding vendors, since mid-to-late March, they have seen Xu Mo following Chen Xuefeng after school many times.
The reason why I remember it so clearly is mainly because both Xu Mo and Chen Xuefeng are very recognizable in Baiyin University.
However, they all knew that Chen Xuefeng was Xu Mo's mentor, so they didn't care much.
Secondly, when the police visited and questioned the neighbors in Xu Mo's community, according to Xu Mo's neighbors and the security guards of the community, they had seen that at about 11 o'clock in the evening on April 3, Xu Mo went out with a small travel bag, and the security guard on duty at that time also asked Xu Mo what he was doing when he was dressed so tightly and went out so late, but Xu Mo ignored him.
In addition, the owner of a small restaurant about two blocks away from Downtown Street recalled that at about 0:20 on the 4th, when they were about to close, they saw a young master wearing a peaked cap, a black sweatshirt, and a travel bag passing in front of their shop.
Because it was too late, there were no pedestrians on the road, and the teenager was dressed strangely, so they were more impressed.
On top of that, the police called up surveillance based on what these witnesses said.
According to the surveillance, Xu Mo went home at about 10:40 on the night of the 3rd, stayed at home for about 20 minutes, and went out with a travel bag.
After leaving the community, Xu Mo disappeared from the surveillance.
So, the police called up the surveillance of the shops along the road and saw Xu Mo in multiple surveillance videos.
However, Xu Mo made a disguise, and he was not very sure whether the person photographed by the surveillance was Xu Mo, but the travel bag he was carrying was very clear.
Although the travel bag is not a brand product, it is very difficult to buy, and it is one of the New Year's gifts given to him by Xu Mo's mother.
According to these videos, Xu Mo's route of action and final destination that night were basically locked.
In addition, the police also found witnesses related to Chen Xuefeng and Shen Jiayi.
First, according to Shen Jiayi's roommate, before school on the third day, Shen Jiayi told her roommate that she was going to Yixingju for dinner at night.
They thought that Shen Jiayi had a boyfriend, and out of curiosity, after class, they paid close attention to Shen Jiayi.
Then I saw that Shen Jiayi got into Chen Xuefeng's car after school and when she left school.
The direction in which the car left was the direction of Xiacheng Street, and Yixingju happened to be located on a street close to Xiacheng Street.
Second, according to this clue, the police found Yixingju.
By asking the boss and checking the surveillance, they did see Chen Xuefeng and Shen Jiayi eating together here.
During the meal, the two behaved very intimately.
At the same time, they were still under surveillance and saw a taxi stop after Chen Xuefeng's car.
After the taxi stopped, the glass in the back row opened a slit, and the passengers sitting in the back kept observing Chen Xuefeng and the two until the two sat down and began to order, and the taxi started again and turned around.
As a result, the police immediately found the taxi driver.
According to the other party's recollections, on the night of the third day, he was indeed at the gate of Silver University and pulled a teenager over.
After the teenager got into the car, he claimed to be the boyfriend of the girl in the private car in front of him, and he suspected that his girlfriend was cheating, so he asked the taxi to follow the private car and was willing to give double the fare.
The taxi driver readily agreed.
After following all the way, the taxi driver did care about the door of Xingju, saw Chen Xuefeng and Shen Jiayi, and through the rearview mirror, saw the young man taking a photo with his mobile phone, and cursed in a low voice: Dog man and woman, I will kill you sooner or later.
After that, the boy told him to turn around and go back and stop at the intersection near Changhong Road.
After the young man got out of the car, he left quickly, and the direction of leaving happened to be the direction of the community where Xu Mo lived.
At this point in the investigation of the case, it seems that everything has become clear.
Xu Mo is the murderer who killed Chen Xuefeng and Shen Jiayi and caused the 404 tragedy.
But whether it was Fang Mu or the other police officers, they didn't feel excited and happy because of the locking up of the suspect, but they were worried.
Liu Tao looked at Fang Mu and asked, "What do you think of the current survey results?" ”
Fang Mu didn't answer this question immediately, but asked rhetorically, "What do you think?" ”
"It's too easy, it's too easy, it's too smooth." Liu Tao said.
Fang Mu nodded and said, "It's really too simple and easy. ”
However, is it really simple?
