Cop Universe

Chapter 15 Finding Evidence
After forensic analysis, Gao An came to the conclusion that Principal Xu committed suicide.

Hearing this conclusion, He Jiahui wished he could step forward and slap Gao An twice to wake him up.

He Jiahui glared at Gao An viciously, and thought to himself: "Shut up if you don't know how to analyze, and beep beep will only add to my confusion!"

At this time, Zhang Dongsheng also added: "Actually, since my mother-in-law passed away, my father-in-law's mental state has not been very good. From time to time, he is always in a trance, and he keeps talking about his mother-in-law. Could it be that his father-in-law missed his mother-in-law too much? Suicide by jumping off a cliff?"

"Mr. Zhang, didn't you just say that your father-in-law didn't behave abnormally?" Miao Zhishun asked immediately.

"Sir, what you're asking about is any abnormal behavior recently. It's been more than two years since my mother-in-law passed away, and my father-in-law has been missing her very much. We're all used to it. This can't be regarded as a recent abnormal behavior!" Zhang Dongsheng argued.

However, He Jiahui said: "I don't think Principal Xu committed suicide. I met and talked with Principal Xu on the way here before.

He is a very talkative person, took the initiative to chat with me for a long time, and asked me a lot about the police academy.Regarding this point, we student police officers and accompanying instructors can all attest to this! "

"That's true. We met the deceased at the third episode. He was indeed very talkative, and he was chatting with our student police all the time." Li Wensheng nodded.

Qiu Junxuan next to him also said: "I can also prove that the deceased was a very talkative person. He was chatting with me all the time. I actually didn't want to chat with him, but he was able to find something to talk about."

He Jiahui continued to analyze: "If a person wants to commit suicide, he should have a feeling of world-weariness, and he will not take the initiative to talk to a stranger, let alone be curious about new things.

Just imagine, a person who wants to kill himself and is about to die must be completely hopeless, so how could he care about the police academy. "

"What if my father-in-law recalls my mother-in-law and suddenly gets overwhelmed and decides to commit suicide by jumping off a cliff? I watched TV and said that many people seem to be fine on the surface, but they are actually depressed!" Zhang Dongsheng said next to him.

"Indeed, we cannot rule out the possibility you mentioned. But we also cannot rule out the possibility of homicide." He Jiahui said.

"Homicide? This is impossible. There is only one person's footprints on the cliff, and there is only one person at the scene. Either he accidentally slipped his footing, or committed suicide. Homicide is impossible!" Gao An, the forensic witness, immediately vetoed it.

"Who said that a person's footprints can't be the one who killed him? I can create a murder and only leave one person's footprints." He Jiahui said, looking at Zhang Dongsheng silently, and continued:
"The murderer can lead the deceased to the edge of the cliff, and then push the deceased down the cliff while he is not prepared, and then clean up the footprints and other traces on the cliff, and then walk back from the edge of the cliff, so that only one person will be left footprints.

When the police were investigating, they only collected one person's footprints, so they would think that the deceased fell off a cliff or committed suicide, so the murderer could easily separate the relationship. "

"No, there is a loophole in the method you mentioned." Gao An immediately retorted:

"Our forensics will compare the footprints. If we find out that the footprints on the cliff are not the deceased's, isn't it a leak?"

"So the murderer has to prepare a pair of shoes that are exactly the same as the deceased's feet, with the same brand, style, shoe size, and even the same degree of wear, so that the footprints left behind can match.

However, the degree of wear and tear is more difficult to imitate. The best way is to let the deceased wear a new pair of shoes, then the murderer only needs to prepare a pair of new shoes of the same style to forge the same footprints. "

He Jiahui looked at Gao An as he spoke, and asked, "Gao sir, when you searched for evidence, you should have noticed the deceased's shoes, right? Are they new?"

"It's relatively new." Gao An nodded thoughtfully, and continued:

"But I still have a question. If your hypothesis is true, how did the murderer know when the deceased will wear new shoes? And he also needs to know the brand, style and size of the shoes?"

"It's very simple. The murderer can just send a pair of new shoes to the deceased!" He Jiahui smiled slightly, and continued:

"If the murderer was someone who was close to the deceased, he would naturally know the size of the shoes the deceased was wearing, and he could also give the deceased a new pair of shoes.

Moreover, if someone close to him commits the crime, the deceased will not be on guard against the murderer. The murderer can take advantage of his unpreparedness and push the deceased off the cliff! "

Speaking of this, everyone's eyes were on Zhang Dongsheng, the son-in-law of the deceased, and he was the only one who met this requirement.

Zhang Dongsheng suddenly became nervous, and he said angrily: "What do you see me doing? Don't you think I killed my father-in-law! It's ridiculous! He's my father-in-law!"

"Mr. Zhang, don't be nervous. As I said just now, this is only a possibility." He Jiahui continued: "Besides, evidence is needed to prove this possibility, and I don't have any evidence in my hand."

Zhang Dongsheng snorted coldly: "That is to say, you were guessing just now? Did your police handle cases only by guessing? You are wronging good citizens!"

"Mr. Zhang, I'm just a student police officer, not a formal police officer. In theory, I'm an ordinary citizen like you. It's not illegal for ordinary citizens to express their opinions, right?"

He Jiahui continued with a smile: "And I just said that I have no evidence in my hand, but I didn't say that others have no evidence!"

"He Jiahui, what on earth are you going to say, don't be fooled!" Li Wensheng said from the side.

"Li sir, if my deduction just now is correct and the murderer forged the footprints on the cliff, it means that the murderer will have a pair of shoes that are exactly the same as the deceased. If we find those shoes, we will have the most direct evidence! "

"That's the truth, but even if we have this pair of shoes, where should we find them?" Li Wensheng asked.

He Jiahui looked at Zhang Dongsheng again: "Mr. Zhang, would you mind opening the hiking bag behind you and showing us? Maybe there will be a pair of shoes inside."

"What do you mean? Why do you look at my hiking bag! You have no right to look at my hiking bag, it involves my personal privacy!" A panic flashed in Zhang Dongsheng's eyes.

"I don't have this power, but the police do. I must remind you that someone died here. This is a homicide. The police have reasonable reasons to apply for a search warrant to search everyone who appears here, including you naturally. "He Jiahui continued.

"Then why only search mine and not yours? If you want to search, everyone should search together!" Zhang Dongsheng argued.

"I don't care! I'm not a murderer." He Jiahui spread his hands, and then said: "The backpacks of our school police are all over there, you can look at them casually! But you, Mr. Zhang, do you want to open them for us to see?" How about your backpack?"

"It's all related to mountaineering! There's nothing to see here." Zhang Dongsheng said, holding the shoulder strap of the mountaineering bag tightly.

Zhang Dongsheng's performance is tantamount to telling everyone that there is something tricky in his hiking bag.

Miao Zhishun immediately stepped forward and said, "Mr. Zhang Dongsheng, please cooperate with our police investigation! Let us check your hiking bag."

After finishing speaking, Miao Zhishun winked at the police officer under him, who immediately went up and surrounded Zhang Dongsheng back and forth.

Zhang Dongsheng's face had turned pale. When things got to this point, he was powerless to resist, so he had to hand over his mountaineering bag.

The police officer immediately opened Zhang Dongsheng's hiking bag, and there was indeed a pair of sneakers inside!
