Attending ex-girlfriend's wedding, arresting the groom's officer on the spot

Chapter 1201 Case Timeline

During the questioning, Liu Lingling explained the entire process very clearly, from when she left home yesterday morning until she came back in the evening, and when she took a shower before leaving. She described every detail very clearly.

"Director Lu, judging from the information Liu Lingling has provided, it is unlikely that the other party is the murderer."

Chen Jiang made this basic judgment after finishing the interrogation.

According to Liu Lingling, the night before yesterday, Liu Lingling, Wang Mengmeng and Zhang Lili lived together.

They often live in their own rented houses, so they often appear in Liu Lingling's rented house.

Some tenants around here have often seen this, so they can testify to it. It is basically certain that the three of them have a good relationship and often talk, laugh, and play together. Sometimes the noise is so loud that the neighbors can hear it.

After the three of them stayed together the night before yesterday, Liu Lingling and Zhang Lili left first the next morning, which was yesterday. After getting up in the morning, they went out shopping.

"According to Liu Lingling, Wang Mengmeng is addicted to her phone. She doesn't like to go out very often. When she's resting, she plays with her phone in her room. This time was no exception. She and Zhang Lili went out shopping, leaving Wang Mengmeng alone in the house playing with her phone."

In fact, Liu Lingling and Zhang Lili came back once at noon, but Zhang Lili did not go upstairs. Zhang Lili was waiting downstairs for Liu Lingling to go upstairs to get clothes.

According to Liu Lingling, at noon she saw Wang Mengmeng still in bed, playing with her mobile phone.

"It was almost time for lunch, and Liu Lingling asked Wang Mengmeng if she wanted to go with them for lunch, but Wang Mengmeng said she didn't want to move and wasn't too hungry, so she didn't go out. Afterwards, Liu Lingling and Zhang Lili had lunch at a shopping mall about 2 kilometers next to the rental house."

Chen Jiang continued, "After lunch, the two of them went shopping in the mall until about six o'clock in the evening, when Liu Lingling received a call."

"This call was also from a friend of Liu Lingling who worked with them. He was in a bad mood after breaking up with his boyfriend and wanted Liu Lingling to live with him."

Chen Jiang has just asked someone to contact Liu Ling's friends and has already made inquiries.

After checking the relevant phone numbers, we are now verifying the information from the surveillance video. Basically, we can now confirm that Liu Lingling did go to stay there last night, but the specific situation has to wait for the surveillance video to be released. We can have evidence to confirm it. In short, we now have witnesses.

"Zhang Lili did not come back with Liu Lingling at that time."

According to Liu Lingling, after the two of them finished shopping in the mall, Zhang Lili wanted to go see a movie.

Originally, Liu Lingling was going to see a movie with Zhang Lili, but Liu Lingling suddenly received a call and had to stay at a friend's house, so she told Zhang Lili to go to the movie by herself.

"Combining the forensic findings with the information provided by Liu Lingling, the entire timeline should be clear now."

Before the result of Liu Ling's application came out, everyone had different opinions on whether the murderer was one person or two people, and there were also different speculations about why the murderer killed Wang Mengmeng and Zhang Lili.

Judging from the clues and information obtained so far, although we still don’t know the murderer’s ultimate purpose in killing two people, the relevant timeline has been figured out.

There was no sign of rummaging at the crime scene. There was some cash in the cupboard and the two people's mobile phones were not missing, which shows that the other party did not kill for money. One of the two victims was stabbed to death and died of excessive blood loss, and the other was strangled to death due to mechanical asphyxiation. The forensic doctor did not detect any signs of sexual assault in the bodies of the two people, so the possibility of murder for beauty does not exist.

The entire timeline started from the night before yesterday.

The night before yesterday, Liu Lingling, Wang Mengmeng and Zhang Lili lived together. One of them slept on the sofa and two of them slept on the bed.

Early the next morning, Liu Lingling and Zhang Lili got up, cooked noodles, had breakfast, and then went out shopping. All three of them had a day off that day, but Wang Mengmeng did not go out because she liked playing with her phone.

At noon, Liu Lingling and Zhang Lili were going to have lunch. When they came back, they asked Wang Mengmeng to go out with them, but she refused on the grounds that she was not hungry and wanted to play with her mobile phone, and remained in the house.

Afterwards, Liu Lingling and Zhang Lili went to a shopping mall 2 kilometers away to eat, and then went shopping until around 7 o'clock in the afternoon, but before o'clock, when Liu Lingling received a call from her friend.

It was that afternoon that the murderer broke into the rental house and stabbed Wang Mengmeng to death while she was playing with her mobile phone at home. He then wrapped the body in the quilt on the bed and hid it in the bed box.

Moreover, the other party dealt with the bloodstains in the room, so it could not be seen with the naked eye.

Afterwards, Liu Lingling returned home around six or seven o'clock, packed some clothes, took a shower, and left the rental house around seven but less than eight o'clock.

Because Liu Lingling hadn't looked at her phone at the exact time, she took the bus to her friend's place at around nine o'clock in the evening and stayed there that night.

At this time, Zhang Lili was still watching a movie in the mall. It was not until after ten o'clock in the evening that she finished the movie and had a midnight snack.

"We have checked the site. Zhang Lili has a consumption record there. After watching the movie at 10 pm, she bought a bowl of fried noodles with egg in the food court. After eating, she left before 11 pm."

However, Zhang Lili did not return to her rented house that night. Instead, she returned to Liu Lingling's place and wanted to live with Wang Mengmeng.

Unexpectedly, he was killed.

Judging from this timeline, the murderer killed Wang Mengmeng who was playing with her mobile phone in the rental house at around five o'clock.

The murderer should not have left the scene afterwards. He had been hiding in the crime scene, probably inside the bed box like the corpse. However, his target did not seem to be Liu Lingling, so after Liu Ling came back, he did not attack Liu Ling.

It was not until Zhang Lili, who had just finished watching a movie, returned that the other party came out of the bed box. Finally, he strangled Zhang Lili to death, and then burned the bodies of the two people and left the scene at around 3 o'clock.

"My personal suggestion is to focus on the interpersonal relationships between the three people, and focus on investigating Wang Mengmeng and Zhang Lili. The two people knew each other. The murderer did not kill Liu Lingling, but killed these two people instead. So he must have a reason to kill these two people. I think it is more likely that the two people knew each other and had some overlap."

This is the conclusion drawn by Chen Jiang.
