investigative chronicle

Chapter 121 The Third Person
Yuan Mu looked at the small piece of fabric whose color could not be distinguished in the photo and said, "This is the sleeve of the shirt..."

Reminiscent of Luo Li's previous description of the suspect, she asked again: "Is this on a white shirt?"

The detachment leader breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said, "Yes. And the inspectors extracted something interesting from it."

"Linalool and Linalyl Acetate."

"What? What are these alcohols and esters used for?" A policeman asked.

"This is the main chemical component of lavender essential oil." The detachment leader said calmly.

"It seems that what the little girl said is right. This time we finally caught his tail." The master sighed with a complicated look on his face.As a criminal policeman, he is naturally unwilling to retire with an unsolved case.

"But DNA alone is meaningless without comparison. We still don't know who this guy is." Someone said discouragedly.

"It's really a rotten piece of wood." The detachment leader said bitterly: "What does this evidence show? It shows that Yang Xiu's deduction is correct. The Luqiao killer didn't grow up in a day. We just need to re-investigate the Luqiao area. A few cases can lead to clues."

"For example, Yang Xiu's report of women being sprayed with dye, needles, being followed, a female student's home being burglarized, and the case of being raped are all breakthroughs for us..."

"It was our negligence before, and the crime has not been caught. It's time to give them an explanation."

When the detachment leader said these words, his expression was lonely and his voice was low. Yuan Mu could feel his self-blame from far away.

"Xiao Mu, call that little girl here, and I'll have a better understanding of the situation back then. Also, Muzi, prepare yourself and take her to identify the suspect when the time comes. I always think that Li Zian is not easy." The master also began Arrange the next work.

On the way Luo Li and Ji Si'an came to the criminal police team, the master came to the interrogation room again.

"Li Zian, how do you explain to Yang Xiu that you are not the suspect he is looking for?"

Hearing this question, Li Zian was stunned for a long time.Yuan Mu stared at him closely. This was the first time since they interrogated Li Zian that he was not calm.

"I... I said it before, I just dumped the dead animals here that couldn't be cured."

Li Zian retracted his arms, which was a self-protective action, indicating that he had started to defend himself.

"Yang Xiu's report introduced the death conditions of those animals. You are a doctor, you should be very clear that many animals were tortured and killed." The master changed his previous attitude and became aggressive.

Li Zian's arms were tightened a bit, and he had already formed a posture of arms crossing his chest.

"Yes, I see it. But so what? I didn't do it."

"Born in a poor background, it was very easy to get admitted to a medical university. You want to gain a foothold in a big city. You have paid a lot for this goal, right?"

Li Zian didn't speak, but the corners of his mouth became tighter and tighter, and he was no longer as calm as when they first met.

"I thought you were hiding something just now, but I haven't figured it out. Now I suddenly figured it out."

The master got up and stood in front of him, Li Zian had to look up to see the master clearly.After realizing that this would increase his sense of oppression, Li Zian quickly lowered his head.

"Our forensic doctor immediately realized something was wrong when he saw the animal's skeleton. You are a top student in medical school, and you work so hard, how could you not know?"

"Have you never encountered corpses thrown in the same place?"

After listening to the master's question, the corners of Li Zian's mouth rose slightly, and his arms were slightly loosened.He actually relaxed, it seems that the master asked the wrong direction.

"No, I didn't meet anyone else there. Every time I left the corpse and left. I'm not a pervert and I don't have a habit of observing corpses." He replied provocatively.

The master realized that he hadn't guessed what he was hiding from him, and knew that he might lead him by the nose if he continued to ask, so he decisively stopped the interrogation.

"We must have missed something..." The master pondered for a while and said, "Xiao Mu, go and get me the previous case files of Luqiao Killer."

When Yuan Mu found the master with the file in his arms, he was sitting at his desk carefully looking at Yang Ping's case materials.Seeing her coming in, the master immediately called her over, and after taking the file in her hand, he quickly searched for it.

"Yes... this bastard, we must catch him this time." The master clenched his fists excitedly.

"What did you find?" Yuan Mu asked curiously.

Yuan Mu suddenly startled the master: "Xiao Mu, you are still here."

"Come on, take a look at these files." The master gave up the seat to Yuan Mu.

"The three girls who died before were all strangled to death with hemp rope, but Yang Ping was strangled to death with a round leather object. After Yang Ping's death, the body was stabbed, and the body was not as clean as before. "Yuan Mu considered the words.

"This is all our inference before, what else?" The master guided her.

"Look at this inspection report again."

"The composition of the anesthetic is different." Yuan Mu murmured, but he hadn't figured out the key point.

"The anesthetic he used before was the analgesic sufentanil, but Yang Ping used the sedative tribofen." The master reminded.

"Can it mean that the way he got the anesthetic is different?" Li Muzi entered the office at some point.

The master nodded appreciatively. "You can think about it further, where did he get the anesthetic?"

"He has a medical background." Yuan Mu almost shouted out.

The master waved his hand and said, "There is another possibility, he knows someone who is engaged in this field."

"Li Zian?!"

"You mean... he might be the one?"

The master said: "This is just my guess. He also needs anesthesia to operate on stray cats and dogs."

"I'm going to check his previous internship experience, maybe he got the medicine at that time." Li Muzi walked out, and when he reached the door, he remembered his purpose of coming to find the master.

"Look at my brain. Luo Li has come to the criminal police team, and I can arrange for identification immediately." Muzi Li said, patting his forehead.

"Got it, Yuan Mu and I will take her to identify it."

With the master's words, Li Muzi left with peace of mind.

Luo Li twisted her hands together nervously, and Ji Si'an caressed her hands.

"Xiao An... What if I don't recognize him?" Her stomach started to convulse because of nervousness.

"If you don't recognize it, you won't recognize it. It's okay. Besides, there might not be a murderer here." Ji Si'an said, putting his arms around her shoulders.

"It doesn't matter if you don't recognize him. I will use the evidence to catch him." Yuan Mu comforted.

Luo Li carefully looked at the few people across from her. Her gaze stayed on Li Zian for a long time, but she still couldn't confirm it. "I think he looks like...but he doesn't look like him, sorry...I don't know either."

Luo Li ran out crying, and accidentally bumped into other policemen, who dropped the materials on the ground.

She helped the other party pick up materials in a panic, and apologized without daring to raise her head.

At this time, Yuan Mu and Ji Si'an came out from the house, and they helped to pack the materials together.When seeing a photo, Ji Si'an was stunned, and she didn't recover until Yuan Mu reminded her to return the things to the other party.

"What's wrong with you?" Yuan Mu asked in a low voice.

　Thank you Wulian for the recommendation vote, thank you for your support and collection.
