Chapter 103 Results
Luo Xun was observing the opposite side from the window, and came back to his senses when he heard him say this.
He walked out of the utility room and quickly brought in two small stools from the corridor and placed them on the ground: "Come on, brother, let's sit down and talk."
Mr. San Dangzi sat down, but he felt something was wrong. He wanted to ask the policeman, "Brother...isn't this my home? Why are you making it look like your home?"
Despite this, he still sat down with Chi Xia, while Luo Xun remained standing.
"Brother Huang, tell me, what's strange about it?" Chi Xia looked at him.
The third prodigal thought about it carefully and listed them one by one: "First of all, the time is weird. It was already late at night. How could a child crawl there?"
"What time was it? Can you still remember?" Chi Xia asked.
The third swindler frowned, a little unsure: "I can't tell you the exact time, but I vaguely remember my nephews and nieces saying that if we don't go to the mountain, it will be dawn. Anyway, no matter what time it is, police comrade, ordinary children will be sleeping soundly at that time!"
Chi Xia nodded, agreeing with what he said.
He thought for a moment and said, "The second strange thing is that when Xinlu came back that time, it was already dark. You don't know, his parents usually brag about their trip to Sanya . Oh, they boasted about it for several days. When Xinlu came back, there was nothing to eat at home, and it was cold. How could he sleep? Don't you agree?"
“That’s the truth.”
Chi Xia echoed: "Brother Huang, is there anything else? For example... was Pei Xinlu alone at the time?"
"Ouch! That's what I was going to say!"
The third prodigal son stood up excitedly: "This is what I can't understand the most!"
"After the child died, his wife rushed back the next day. Everyone in the village saw it, but I clearly saw a woman next to Xinlu the night before! Her figure was exactly the same as his wife's!"
Hearing this, Chi Xia and Luo Xun both tensed up. Luo Xun turned around, his eyes narrowed slightly: "Then did you see the woman's appearance clearly?"
The third prodigal looked embarrassed: "It was dark, I didn't see anything, I just saw a blurry figure, but I'm sure it must be a woman!"
Chi Xia and Luo Xun's eyes met in the air, and they both thought at the same time, if it wasn't Zhou Wanrou, then who was it, could it be Ji Shiqing?
“There’s more!”
San Dangzi continued, "When building a house in our village, no matter if there are children or not, everyone should be careful, right? We should block all the places that should be blocked. Even if the child of Xinlu's family sleepwalked up there in the middle of the night, it would not be right. Don't you think this makes sense?"
Chi Xia and Luo Xun responded that this third playboy brother had helped them a lot.
When the two came out of San Dangzi's house, they found that Pei Xinlu's parents had also asked someone to send them to the city.
I have to deal with my son's funeral.
In just half a year, several people in the family passed away one after another, and the old couple can't even stand up straight now.
Luo Xun and Chi Xia sped up and returned to the task force, which took them two full hours.
Lin Wenjue was not much more relaxed than them. He had just come back from outside and had not even had time to catch his breath when Luo Xun and Chi Xia came in.
Luo Xun threw his coat on the table and waved his hand: "Lao Lin, come with us to the forensic room first, and talk as we go. Lao Cao Juanmao, you guys tidy up first, and we'll come back for a meeting."
As they walked toward the forensic room, Lin Wenjue asked, "How's it going over there?"
Chi Xia said, "It is very likely that Pei Xi was pushed down from the building by Pei Xinlu and was stabbed by the steel bar below. We have already got the steel bar. Also, when Pei Xi died, there was a woman next to Pei Xinlu. Her figure was similar to Zhou Wanrou, but we believe that it was definitely not Zhou Wanrou."
“Tsk tsk…”
Lin Wenjue frowned: "Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs... Could the woman next to Pei Xinlu be Ji Shiqing?"
"We are also a little suspicious of Ji Shiqing now."
Luo Xun took over the conversation: "What about you guys? Have you found any clues at the scene of Pei Xinlu's death?"
"Old Ning found needle marks on Pei Xinlu's body and guessed that he was injected with some kind of drug and was taken to the crime scene after he lost consciousness."
"In other words, after he left the place where Zhou Wanrou dumped her body?" Luo Xun said.
Chi Xia stared at him, but shook his head at this moment: "If it was Pei Xinlu who went to the place where the bodies were dumped, but it wasn't him who came back, then the person driving the car in the video was not Pei Xinlu, maybe he was the murderer."
Luo Xun and Lin Wenjue stopped walking at the same time and looked at Chi Xia.
Chi Xia continued, "You forgot that Team Two said that when Zheng Lanshu went missing from the nursing home and reported to the police three months ago, he said Zhou Wanrou was missing. I think Zhou Wanrou was already dead at that time. So, who went to the police station with Pei Xinlu? It definitely wasn't Zhou Wanrou."
Luo Xun's eyes sank: "Perhaps, this "Zhou Wanrou" who came to the police station with Pei Xinlu is the same woman that San Dangzi saw on the night Pei Xi was murdered."
The three people looked solemn as they continued to walk towards the forensic room. Lin Wenjue suddenly asked, "What the hell is the Three Drifters? I'm almost dizzy from all the swinging!"
"A good crowd."
Luo Xun smiled and said, "Have you found any information about Pei Xinlu's handwriting and related writing habits? And do you have any clues about Liao Gang?"
"The information is ready, and we are just waiting for your appraisal. As for Lao Liao, I can't say whether it is good news or bad news."
Lin Wenjue exhaled: "Old Liao and his men found a small amount of blood in Zhou Wanrou's home, but we also know that Zhou Wanrou was dismembered after her death, and she was injured before her death, so it is impossible that there was only that little blood. So I think that the first crime scene of Zhou Wanrou's death was not at home."
Luo Xun hummed, thinking about what he had just said.
Seeing the three people approaching the forensic room, Chi Xia spoke up: "We need to investigate Ji Shiqing in depth. If the affair between her and Pei Xinlu is true, then Zhou Wanrou's death, and even Pei Xinlu's death, cannot be separated from her."
"Oh, our task force is really short of manpower..."
Lin Wenjue sighed and looked at Luo Xun: "Xun... or you can..."
Chi Xia saw Luo Xun frowning. It seemed that his Eighth Master was a bit busy recently and couldn't take care of Officer Luo.
"Well, I have a few friends I know," she said. "I'll see if they can help keep an eye on him."
Luo Xun was about to pick up his phone to contact someone when he heard her words. He put the phone down again and said with interest: "Lao Lin, you go in first."
As long as someone could help, no matter whose connections they had, Officer Lin would be happy. He didn't ask any more questions and happily walked into the forensic room.
Chi Xia walked aside and called Shi Tianyi, asking him to keep an eye on Ji Shiqing. Shi Tianyi was full of strength, vowing to stand together with his police comrades, and he almost announced with drums and gongs that he was going to do a big thing.
As soon as she turned around, Luo Xun saw the smile on her face. It was a smile that was completely unpretentious and came purely from the heart. Perhaps it could only be revealed in front of very close people.
Chi Xia's eyes met his, and the smile on her face froze. Soon she smiled at him as usual: "Captain Luo, can you allow me to have some of my own tricks?"
"Of course." Luo Xun shrugged: "Actually, I can find one here, but it's not as easy to use as Mr. Ba. She's a bit busy recently, so I can't disturb her."
"I know."
Chi Xia said, "Captain Luo, I know you have a wide network of contacts, but if you want to check on Ji Shiqing, it's more convenient for me to be here."
Luo Xun was curious: "Why?"
Chi Xia raised her eyebrows, with a hint of pride in her eyes. She shook her phone and said, "My friend is good at Internet technology. It's easy for him to keep an eye on Ji Shiqing. He has to get something from her. We don't have that much time to waste with them."
Luo Xun laughed: "Then I have to meet your friend."
Chi Xia smiled brightly, but said, "No, this is private property."
Captain Luo was stunned for a moment and forced a laugh out of his throat.
The two entered the forensic room one after the other. Ning Yi raised his head from the autopsy table and waved at them: "It's just right that you are all here. Let me tell you about Zhou Wanrou first."
Ning Yi took off his mask and gloves and walked over. Luo Xun handed him his cup and asked, "Any new discoveries?"
Ning Yi took a folder from the side and handed it to them: "Since Zhou Wanrou's body was treated with chemicals, many clues were destroyed. After I finished this report, I let a few friends in the provincial department look at it before confirming it. You can refer to it."
Luo Xun and the others looked at the folder, their expressions becoming more and more solemn.
"A woman, first her ribs were broken, then her knuckles were broken by someone stepping on her, there were also knife wounds on her chest, and finally a heavy object hit the back of her head which caused her death?"
Luo Xun's voice was cold: "How could anyone have such a big grudge against her!"
Ning Yi exhaled, "Yes, except for a few injuries from falling, the rest of her injuries were man-made. In this case, the murderer dismembered her in order to destroy the evidence. After that, he processed her body and dumped it... This is simply to grind her bones and scatter her ashes."
"No."
Chi Xia's voice rang out, her eyes filled with coldness.
She said: "Someone else handled the bones."
Luo Xun looked at her and saw the cold anger beneath her calm face in her dark eyes.
"Chi Xia is right."
He retracted his gaze: "Zhou Wanrou's body was deliberately discovered by us."
The temperature in the forensic room was low, and Lin Wenjue felt goose bumps on his arms.
He finally realized: "The reason why Zhou Wanrou's body was thrown there was to let everyone know that Zhou Wanrou was dead, and what we really want to find is the murderer who killed Pei Xinlu!"
