Chapter 20: Don’t touch me!
Until Wang Suo left, Xu Dayuan didn't say why, he just told him to do it, and Wang Suo lost his temper.
After everyone left, only Xu Dayuan and Zhou Ning were left in the conference room. Zhou Ning now wished he could go to the train station and wait, after all, waiting there wouldn't be so annoying.
But Zhou Ning couldn't understand why Xu Dayuan kept him.
"Tell me, do you know why I asked Wang Suo to find Liu Bingyi's wife to find out the situation that night?"
Zhou Ning was stunned.
A leader is a leader, and he should be very careful in what he says. How can I guess what you are thinking? Isn't that making things difficult for you?
Hiss! Do you understand the situation?
However, Zhou Ning suddenly thought of something and answered seriously:
"The one who spread these rumors in the village was Wang Chengjuan. I think the two deceased had an affair, so they should have found a place where no one was around so as not to give people something to talk about.
In the morning, when we arrived at the scene, the person who was talking about this opposite Chief Wang was Wang Chengjuan. Two people died and the body was severely decomposed. She was not afraid at all and kept staring at my movements.
So, Xu Da felt that she was hiding something, or that she knew much more than she said on the surface. By scaring her like this, no, if she went to the village again, Wang Chengjuan would be scared, and maybe she could say something useful?"
Xu Dayuan smiled, my god, this smile was a little scary.
"Xiao Zhou, you are really good. Your observation ability and sensitivity are better than those of ordinary criminal investigators."
Zhou Ning rubbed his nose.
"I'm just guessing. Xu Da planned it. If it weren't for what you said to Wang Suo, I wouldn't have thought of so much. You're just praising yourself!"
Xu Dayuan smiled even more happily, as if all the previous gloom had been swept away.
"You are a good talker and always so polite. Now go back and have a rest. Depending on the interrogation, you will have to come here early in the morning to compare fingerprints. If necessary, you will need to go to the scene again."
Zhou Ning stood up. No matter how anxious he was, he couldn't squat here and wait. If he didn't get enough rest, his brain would be even more exhausted.
"Xu Da, I'm leaving first."
…
The next morning, Zhou Ning quickly rushed to the second floor of the Criminal Police Team.
Before entering, he saw Zhao Xinli standing in front of the door looking around. When he saw Zhou Ning waving his hands vigorously, Zhou Ning walked over.
"What's wrong?"
"The boss asked me to wait for you. Liu Wangcai's fingerprints have been collected. We will compare them when you come."
Zhou Ning nodded. He knew without a doubt that these people must have been busy all night.
"Okay, I'll do the comparison now. By the way, does Liu Wangcai have any injuries on his hands?"
"Yes, both hands are injured. He said that he was injured when a steel bar slipped off the construction site."
Zhou Ning paused, this injury came at a really timely time.
"Let me compare first, and then I'll go check his injuries."
Zhao Xinli grinned.
"That's what the boss said."
Zhou Ning did not delay and went straight upstairs to the office. On the desk was a collection form with Liu Wangcai's name on it, as well as ten fingerprints from both hands. However, there was a patch of black ink on the thumb of the right hand, which looked like a gauze mark.
Zhou Ning frowned, scanned his fingerprints, then logged into the fingerprint matching system and compared them with the fingerprints found at the scene. This system is much more accurate than human observation and can perform analysis based on local sampling characteristics.
After waiting for a minute, the comparison system flashed red and the comparison failed, which means that Liu Wangcai's fingerprints did not match those found at the scene.
This result made Zhou Ning a little unbelievable.
Could it be that my analysis was wrong, and this Liu Wangcai is not the murderer?
But according to these investigations, the person most likely to have killed Li Delin and Zhu Meifeng is Liu Wangcai. Otherwise, who would have killed these two people at the same time?
Could it be Zhu Meifeng’s brother?
Impossible. Even if he knew that his sister had an affair with someone else, no matter how shameful it was, she was still his sister. At most he would teach Li Delin a lesson.
Zhou Ning's thoughts kept appearing on the large transparent screen. Looking at the various information he had found before, Zhou Ning stood up, grabbed his camera and survey box, and went out.
As soon as I reached the stairs, I saw Xu Dayuan going upstairs.
"Xu Da, I was just about to come find you. The fingerprint comparison results are out. Among the fingerprints collected at the scene, there is no Liu Wangcai's. I want to see the wound on Liu Wangcai's hand. The timing of his injury is too coincidental. Have the people who went to the provincial capital verified it?"
Xu Dayuan sighed.
"I told them last night and asked my co-workers if anyone saw Liu Wangcai injured. Someone replied this morning saying that at noon on the 26th, he screamed and the steel bar slipped from above. He was fine, but his hands were bloody and he went to a nearby clinic to get them bandaged."
Zhou Ning was not discouraged and stared at Xu Dayuan firmly.
"Xu Da, let me take a look first. There is a difference between abrasions and cuts. Even if he is a ruthless person and faked the wound, he is not a professional and does not understand the difference."
Hearing Zhou Ning's words, Xu Dayuan smiled, patted Zhou Ning on the shoulder, and walked downstairs together.
"I was waiting for you to say this. To be honest, I am the one who suspects Liu Wangcai the most. Last night, Wang Chengjuan was taken to Tieshan Police Station and she confessed that two years ago, Liu Wangcai gave her 3,000 yuan a year and asked her to call Li Delin whenever she saw him coming to their house.
After Liu Wangcai left during the Spring Festival this year, Li Delin came once every half a month, and she told Liu Wangcai on time, including Li Delin's car number, company name, and where they were going.
She followed them twice and saw Li Delin taking Zhu Meifeng to Lantaizi by the sea and they were still living there. As for Zhu Meifeng, she seemed to be a recluse, but in fact, in the past six months, she was usually not at home except when the children were about to come back.
The last time Liu Wangcai called Wang Chengjuan was on the 20th, but the phone number was a new one. After we left yesterday, Wang Chengjuan was scared and called Liu Wangcai, but the new number was turned off.
Knowing that his wife was cheating on him, he usually beats and scolds her. Now that he has evidence, how can he just sit there and endure it? Therefore, I am very suspicious of this Liu Wangcai. The more time he has as a witness and the more he cannot find his call records, the more I feel something is wrong. "
Zhou Ning was overwhelmed by so much information that he hired someone to monitor his wife for two years, but why didn't he do that before?
An idea suddenly popped up.
"Mr. Xu can have someone check at the court to see if Zhu Meifeng has filed for divorce. I remember there is a rule that if the first divorce lawsuit fails and the next one is filed after more than six months, and there is evidence of domestic violence or the couple has been separated for more than a year, the court will generally grant a divorce directly.
I remember that during the special project meeting, Captain He said that Li Delin’s ex-wife said that Li Delin was preparing for the wedding and Zhu Meifeng was three months pregnant. Putting this together…”
Zhou Ning didn't say anything else. He thought of Xu Dayuan and made a quick phone call. The other party complained a few words. After all, it was only a little after seven o'clock and it was not time to go to work yet. Xu Dayuan gave him some instructions and hung up the phone.
"You can tell me after you check it out. You are really good. How do you know how the divorce was decided?"
Zhou Ning smacked his lips, looking helpless.
"There's a senior in the club who's from the law department. He talks about these things every day, so it's hard not to know. By the way, what is the Lantaizi of Xu Da?"
"Their village is not by the sea. The villagers used to build some stone houses on the rocks. The tops were painted blue and had national flags on them. But now they are all being loaded and unloaded at the dock, so they are preserved there."
Zhou Ning paused, and suddenly thought of the fact that the deceased Zhu Meifeng had been starved for two or three days. Is it possible that Zhu Meifeng was imprisoned there before she died?
"What's wrong? What are you thinking about?"
Xu Da stared at Zhou Ning, and Zhou Ning found that they had walked to the interrogation room downstairs.
"It's okay, let's take a look at Liu Wangcai's hand injury first."
Xu Dayuan waved his hand, and a policeman came over and opened the door. Sitting on the interrogation chair was a skinny man. Even though he was sitting, it could be seen that he was short, with unkempt hair and an unshaven beard. His hands were wrapped in black gauze, and he was not handcuffed. He looked like a beggar.
With this height, it seemed a little difficult to climb up the rear window. Zhou Ning pursed his lips. Xu Dayuan had already waved to the person interrogating in the room.
"Stop for a moment and let Xiao Zhou, the forensic doctor, check the suspect's wound."
Upon hearing this, Liu Wangcai exploded, clenched his fists, and struggled on the iron chair.
"My wife is dead, but I'm not the murderer. You guys are still not done. Why are you looking for trouble with me instead of catching the murderer? Don't touch me! Ah, don't touch me!"
