Chapter 73 Where is the evidence?
The woman looked a little embarrassed. She lowered her eyes to organize the non-woven bag in her hand, but she was explaining something.
"That's my retirement money. His father passed away early, so I gave them 300,000 yuan after their house was demolished, and I saved the rest. If they get sick or have a disaster in the future, I won't be a burden to them. But I don't want my daughter-in-law to worry about it. There should be a rift between them."
Zhou Ning glanced at the woman, put on gloves, hat and shoe covers, and this time he wanted to walk to every corner so as not to destroy the footprints at the scene.
Zhao Xinli smiled and said:
"It's all right to leave some money for crossing the river. Tell me where it is and I'll help you find it."
The woman poked her head in and pointed to the drawer on the north side of the TV cabinet and said:
"Pull out that drawer as far as it will go. Reach in and there's a hole on the bottom. Lift it up and it will open. There's a bag underneath. Can you help me check if the things are there?"
Following the direction of the finger, Zhao Xinli walked to the TV cabinet, opened the drawer, and looked inside. Sure enough, there was a round hole on the bottom of the drawer. With a slight scratch, the bottom plate was lifted up. It turned out that this was a mezzanine layer of the drawer. There was a five-centimeter-high space underneath, and a red cloth bag with a zipper was revealed.
Seeing the cloth bag, the woman was a little excited, but the tears on her face had not yet dried. Zhou Ning felt indescribable feeling in his heart as he looked at her.
"Yes, it is this bag. Young man, open it and see if there is a passbook or jewelry inside. Just open it and let me see it."
Zhao Xinli placed the cloth bag on a tray and unzipped it. He could see that the bag was handmade with fine stitching. He reached inside and pulled out two passbooks.
"Two passbooks, in the name of Sun Yufen, with deposits of 320,000 yuan in one and 480,000 yuan in the other. There is no record of withdrawals."
The woman nodded repeatedly, visibly relieved.
" My name is Sun Yufen, and the amount is correct."
Zhao Xinli reached into the bag again and found another bag inside. When he opened it, he found two jade bracelets, a gold bracelet, rings and gold bars. The value of this pile of things was definitely no less than 200,000.
"Aunt, take a look. Are the quantities of these things correct?"
Sun Yufen nodded.
"Yes, it's not less. It's fine. I feel relieved now. You can return it to me after the case is over, right?"
"Don't worry, these will be returned to the family after the case is closed. Now we need to preserve the evidence. After all, this case was initially suspected to be a robbery."
Zhao Xinli finished explaining with a smile and took pictures of these things. The woman nodded, took two steps back, and seemed to be leaving. Zhou Ning spoke at this time.
"Don't be in such a hurry to leave, Auntie. Didn't you say downstairs that you were going to come upstairs to get some clean clothes for the child? Why aren't you in such a hurry to get them now?"
The woman was stunned, her face full of embarrassment . She slapped her thigh and hit her head.
"Oh, my memory is not good now that I am old. How come I forgot the most important thing?"
Zhao Xinli glanced at Zhou Ning and saw the serious expression on his face. Then he reacted, took the bag from the woman, stepped on the survey mat to the second bedroom to pack a few clothes, and then came out and handed it to the woman.
"Thank you. I'll leave first. I'm worried about the child being alone at home."
Having said that, the woman walked away without looking back. Zhao Xinli shook his head and sighed.
"Well, you can't say that everyone is selfish, but my son just died, and I feel bad."
"Stop sighing and let's start a careful investigation."
After Zhou Ning finished speaking, he carried the investigation box into the living room. Da Zhao began to collect fingerprints on the inside of the door and tried hard to find bloodstains on it.
Looking at the debris scattered on the floor of the living room, Zhou Ning tried hard to identify the direction. In fact, all these things were thrown towards the sofa in the living room. There were pieces of porcelain and glass. Among them was a pair of porcelain dolls of a bride and groom in ancient costumes, which fell the most miserably.
Zhou Ning squatted down, picked up the fragments of the porcelain doll and pieced them together. He then discovered that there were words engraved on the hem of the doll. After careful identification, he saw that the words were Wen Haicheng and Zhang Xin respectively.
The fragment at the bottom had the date and date on it: February 14, 2006. Zhou Ning looked through the previous photos on his camera. He remembered that Da Zhao had taken a photo of their marriage certificate. After searching for a while, he finally found this photo. The date on the certificate was the same as the one below the porcelain doll.
Zhou Ning turned around and looked at the antique display cabinet at the entrance. It seemed that these things were originally placed on the display cabinet. Whether it was for money or revenge, why did they vent their anger on these souvenirs of the two?
Just as he stood up, he seemed to have bumped into the sofa, and a piece of porcelain fell at Zhou Ning's feet with a crisp sound. He bent down to pick it up and found a bloody fingerprint on it. Zhou Ning was delighted.
The porcelain piece was quickly put into the evidence bag. It could be seen without comparison that it was part of the bottom of the pair of porcelain dolls, and the fingerprints were most likely left by the murderer.
Zhou Ning put the evidence bag into the investigation box and then walked towards the south balcony of the living room. When he came in, he felt that the room was very cold. Now that he turned on the light, he found that the window of the living room was opened a crack.
Approaching the window, Zhou Ning carefully observed the edge of the window. There were some black and purple scratches on the outer edge and the edge of the windshield. Zhou Ning opened the window a little wider and leaned half of his body out. With the illumination of the flashlight, three clear bloody fingerprints appeared before his eyes.
Zhou Ning's fingers were a little cold due to excitement, so he quickly took photos, then took blood samples and fingerprints.
Da Zhao came over at some point, and when he saw Zhou Ning's actions, he moved his fat face closer.
"What did you find?"
"Bloody handprints. I have already extracted blood samples and fingerprints. Let's go back and compare them."
"Oh, at the window?"
Zhou Ning nodded and pointed to the evidence bag in the investigation box.
"Not only on the window, but also on the smashed porcelain doll. We'll see if we can find a match among the fingerprints we collected."
Da Zhao frowned and stared at Zhou Ning for a long time before he exhaled and said:
"Do you still think that Zhang Xin killed the person?"
"I'll tell you the evidence and see the comparison results."
Da Zhao took out his cell phone, took photos of the two fingerprints, edited a message and sent it out. Zhou Ning stared at Da Zhao with confusion.
"Don't look at me like that. If I chase one away, I'll let both go. The technical department is in the forensic room, so let them help compare. I've been chatting with Xiao Hu for so long, and I've added his QQ number."
Just as he finished speaking, Da Zhao's cell phone rang twice, and a picture was sent to him. However, the picture seemed a little big, and it was always gray while showing as downloading. This period of waiting made the two of them nervous and silent.
There was a beeping sound, and Zhou Ning almost thought it was the sound of the system. He leaned over to take a look and saw a triple comparison screenshot, which was the blood fingerprint pictures just collected from two places, and next to it was a collection card with five fingerprints.
There was a line of words below, and after comparison, it turned out that these were the four fingerprints of Zhang Xin's left hand.
"It seems that you guessed right. Shall we go to the hospital to arrest someone now?"
Zhou Ning shook his head and threw the phone to Da Zhao.
"Forward the picture to Xu Da. The Eighth Hospital has sent people to monitor Zhang Xin. But don't alarm this person yet . She has been pretending to be crazy. We need to find evidence of her pretending to be crazy. Otherwise, even if there is evidence, we can't convict her."
Da Zhao was stunned for a moment, pointing at the bloody fingerprint and shaking his finger continuously.
"If the bloodstains belong to Wen Haicheng, doesn't that mean she is the murderer?"
Zhou Ning shook his head.
"not enough."
These two words left Da Zhao speechless for a moment. He took out his cell phone to forward the picture, and then called Xu Dayuan.
Zhou Ning ignored him and walked towards the master bedroom.
They extracted fingerprints of the deceased and Zhang Xin from the murder weapon . Even if Zhang Xin tried to argue, it could not be used as evidence because this was her home and it was normal for her fingerprints to be left here.
But now, what can we use to prove that Zhang Xin is the murderer?
At least, it prevented Zhang Xin from pretending to be crazy and stupid, escaping legal sanctions, and telling the story of the murder herself.
Zhou Ning frowned, he was really in a dilemma. Although the suspect in this case was right in front of him, he had no more favorable evidence to prove it, which was worrying.
After exhaling a few times, Zhou Ning came to the bedside of the master bedroom. Following his gaze, he observed all the corners on the floor, table, and bed. He had searched everything he could and there was nothing he had missed.
Staring at the bloodstain on the bedside, Zhou Ning looked at it again. Just as he was about to turn around, Zhou Ning paused, and then his eyes lit up.
"Da Zhao, come here!"
