Chapter 26 I know who the murderer is!

"Ask Ding Hao, why did you use a black plastic bag to remove Li He's head after you cut it off, but why did you just throw Zhao Zhiyong's head into the trash after you cut it off?"

Zhou Zheng's voice sounded from Xia Yan's earphones, causing Xia Yan's face to be full of doubts.

its not right!
Zhao Zhiyong's head didn't fall off!

Xia Yan didn't speak, but still stared at the camera. If it wasn't for Ding Hao's hearing, he would have asked directly.

Immediately, he seemed to feel that this was not shocking enough, so he turned his head and looked in the direction of the one-way glass.

His eyes were not focused, it looked like he was staring at the wall, but everyone in the monitoring room knew that Xia Yan was looking this way.

"Captain Xia, I'll explain to you later, you just ask like this." Zhou Zheng's voice sounded again.

Xia Yan was silent for a moment, then nodded to the one-way glass, and then sat back on the chair in the interrogation room.

"Ding Hao, let me ask you one more question." Xia Yan stared at Ding Hao intently, and said, "Why did you chop off Li He's head and put it in a black plastic bag..."

"Didn't I just say that this is a gift for you guys. After watching you for a long time, there must be something to gain. By the way, it will attract attention, but it's not important." Ding Hao said impatiently.

"I haven't finished asking." Xia Yan shook his head and continued: "Then why did you chop off Zhao Zhiyong's head and just put his head in the trash can?"

"Isn't that obvious!" Ding Hao said with a smile: "He is a trash, of course he only deserves to be in the trash can. I just put him back where he belongs."

As soon as Ding Hao said this, Xia Yan's expression changed drastically.

Not only him, but the entire monitoring room's face became ugly, and there were many eyes, and they looked at Zhou Zheng's body one after another, with doubts, solemnity and admiration in their eyes.

Xia Yan was about to say something more when he heard Zhou Zheng's voice in the headset, "Captain Xia, you don't need to say anything, just come here today."

Xia Yan forcibly held back the words behind him, took a meaningful look at the relaxed Ding Hao, and said, "This is the end of today's interrogation. Let the criminal suspect Ding Hao be taken into custody first."

After finishing speaking, Xia Yan turned around and left the interrogation room, walked into the monitoring room next to him, and pushed open the door with a look of surprise on his face.

"What's going on?" Xia Yan's mind was in a mess, he walked towards Zhou Zheng and asked, "Why did Ding Hao lie?"

"What do you think he lied about?" Zhou Zheng asked.

"This..." Xia Yan was stunned, and after thinking for a while, he said: "There are only two possibilities now, either he killed Zhao Zhiyong, but he is unwilling to give more details, or..."

Xia Yan didn't want to say anything later, but when it came to this point, even if he didn't say it, everyone would understand.

In an instant, everyone's face was covered with a layer of haze. They thought that Ding Hao had confessed to the crime of murder during the interrogation, and the case could be closed smoothly, but instead, this seemingly clear case became foggy. .

"Ding Hao was not the murderer who killed Zhao Zhiyong." Zhou Zheng shook his head and said, "Because Zhao Zhiyong and Li He were lovers, and they died on the same day, we preconceived that this was a serial murder case, but in fact , and there is no evidence to support the joint investigation.”

"You mean..." Xia Yan's complexion became more and more ugly, not because of Zhou Zheng's words, but because of the gradually blurred truth.

"Zhao Zhiyong's case and Li He's case belong to two murder cases of different nature. Ding Hao is the murderer who killed Li He, but not the murderer who killed Zhao Zhiyong." Zhou Zheng said firmly.

"Then I don't understand. Why did Ding Hao admit that he killed Zhao Zhiyong?" Xia Yan was puzzled.

"He is taking the blame for the real murderer who killed Zhao Zhiyong!" Zhou Zheng analyzed.

"Why did you do that?" Xia Yan was still puzzled.

"It's not hard to understand. We can put our thinking into Ding Hao's logic. After he knew Li He cheated, his psychology changed. This is an extreme love. If you can't get it, you will ruin it." Even if the other party has already proposed to break up, he still wants to do it according to his own method, and calls it "sacrifice for love", so he must kill Li He and Zhao Zhiyong, there is no doubt about this." Zhou Zheng analyzed. : "The surveillance video of the elevator is Ding Hao. That day he was going to kill Zhao Zhiyong, but the real murderer got there first, because the real murderer was hiding in Zhao Zhiyong's home!"

"This doesn't explain why he took the blame for that person, he didn't need to do that at all!" Xia Yan suddenly felt that his head was two big.

"Perhaps... he is thanking that person!" Zhou Zheng said slowly after thinking for a while: "When you were interrogating him, he once said that he didn't have much time, so he has already substituted the idea of ​​killing himself in his heart." Zhao Zhiyong was killed, but it was actually not him, which bought him time to kill Li He, if not, with your investigation speed, he might not have time to kill Li He."

"What the hell, there are actually two murderers in this case. What outrageous thing did Zhao Zhiyong do? Two people wanted to kill him on the same day." Zhao Lei couldn't help complaining.

"It's more than that." Xia Yan shook his head helplessly and said: "Don't forget, there is another Song Bo, he went up with a baseball bat, he didn't intend to kill anyone, a beating is inevitable."

"and many more!"

Zhao Lei suddenly seemed to think of something, he jumped up from his chair like a frightened rabbit, and said loudly: "If Song Bo and Ding Hao are not the murderers who killed Zhao Zhiyong, then one of the suspects There is only one person left."

"Wang Wenxin!" Xia Yan widened his eyes and said, "All the wrong options have been ruled out, and the remaining one is the correct answer!"

"Xia Yan, your people are still monitoring Wang Wenxin, right?" Zhou Zheng rubbed his forehead and asked.

"Yes." Xia Yan nodded.

"Where's Chen Ting?" Zhou Zheng continued to ask.

"There are also people watching." Xia Yan replied.

"Is there anyone protecting Chen Ting?" Zhou Zheng frowned tightly, with a faint premonition in his heart.

"Protection?" Xia Yan shook his head and said, "That's not true, it's just monitoring downstairs."

"I feel something is wrong in my heart. I always feel that Chen Ting seems to be in danger, but there is no evidence or reason." Zhou Zheng pursed his lips and said.

"I understand. I will send more people around Chen Ting's house to protect Chen Ting and her child." Xia Yan said.

"Children..." Zhou Zheng frowned even tighter, his brain was running fast, and asked, "Chen Ting lives with two children, so where is Wang Wenxin?"

"They all get along during the day, and Wang Wenxin will return to the dormitory of the university at night." Xia Yan replied.

"I can't think of anything for the time being." Zhou Zheng groaned in his stomach. He had exhausted his brain so much that he already felt a sense of hunger. The world is already very close to the truth, but it just cannot be seen clearly.

At this moment, Xia Yan took out his mobile phone and made a call.

It didn't take long to connect.

"Is there anything unusual about Wang Wenxin?" Xia Yan asked.

"No." The other party answered.

"Where is Wang Wenxin from?" Xia Yan continued to ask.

"Jianghai Jiaotong University's dormitory, I haven't been out since I entered it, and we are still closely monitoring it." The other party replied.

"Understood." Xia Yan hung up the phone, looked towards Zhou Zheng, and said, "Wang Wenxin has returned to school."

"Well, it seems that it's nothing now. The results of the test report will be available tomorrow, so let's talk about it tomorrow." Zhou Zheng was so hungry that he had hypoglycemia, and his thinking ability gradually disappeared.

"I think so too." Xia Yan walked up to Zhou Zheng, patted his shoulder, and said, "I'll treat you to supper."

"Okay, thank you." Zhou Zheng happened to be hungry.

"Zhao Lei, come together." Xia Yan looked at his apprentice.

"I'm not going. I'm not in the mood or appetite. I'll go see if there are any clues." Zhao Lei's eyes were still a little red. After what happened today, he couldn't eat anything at all. If he had to think about it, That is to drink some wine, but during the investigation period, drinking should not cause trouble, so I can only bury all my troubles in my heart.

"Okay." Xia Yan didn't force it. He had already seen that something was wrong with his apprentice's mood. As someone who had experienced it, he understood that it was useless for anyone to say anything at this time. He could only walk out by himself. Then he looked at Zhou Zheng and said: "let's go."

"Well, okay." Zhou Zheng nodded, he was very hungry and had to eat something before going back.

Xia Yan took Zhou Zheng out of the monitoring room, and with the two of them leaving, the criminal policemen also left one by one, preparing to go home from get off work.

With the current level of investigation, today is enough. Staying up late is not conducive to long-term development, and it may not have any effect. Instead, it is better to go back and have a good sleep before meeting the challenges of the next day.

When Xia Yan and Zhou Zheng walked out of the Jianghai Municipal Bureau, it was already night outside, without the hustle and bustle of the day.

"How is it? Are you still used to working as a forensic doctor?" Xia Yan asked as he walked out of the gate of the police station, he felt a little more relaxed.

"It's good, but after participating in two autopsies, the smell on my body is not right." Zhou Zheng joked.

"It's okay, we smoke heavily, and we can't smell anything. As long as we can solve the case, these are trivial matters." Xia Yan pointed to the street opposite the city bureau, and said, "There is a barbecue stall here, which is very lively at night. Go there and eat."

"I'll listen to you." Zhou Zheng had no objection.

"Do you think the murderer is Wang Wenxin?" Xia Yan still couldn't relax completely, he couldn't leave the case in just three sentences, he is the captain of the criminal police of the city bureau, as long as the case is not solved, he can't be completely at ease.

"I don't know." Zhou Zheng shook his head, thinking in his eyes, but his stomach growled, "Let's just assume, if it's Wang Wenxin, how did he hide in Zhao Zhiyong's house?"

"Well, this is indeed a problem. Even if Wang Wenxin got the key from Chen Ting, how did he get upstairs? Could it be that he climbed up the stairs of the safe passage?" Xia Yan said, rolling his eyes. As soon as he lit up, his tone became much firmer, and he said: "Yes, that's it, he just climbed the stairs, and we have broken through the elevator's monitoring, and there is no suspicious person except Ding Hao, so the murderer should be up the stairs."

"I agree with your idea, but Captain Xia, there is one more question, have you thought about it?" Zhou Zhengyue said that he was getting hungry, but he was also immersed in the case, and his brain couldn't stop thinking.

"What's the question?" Xia Yan asked impatiently.

"Where was Ding Hao when the murder happened, or in the time before and after?" Zhou Zheng asked.

"He..." Xia Yan squinted his eyes and began to collect information about Ding Hao. After thinking for a while, his eyes lit up suddenly, and said: "Ding Hao said that he was hiding on the stairs from the 5th to the 6th floors of Li He's house. Zhao Zhiyong His family lived on the 17th floor, and according to Ding Hao's behavior pattern, he probably hid in the safe passage between the 17th and 18th floors."

"That's right, I think so too!" Zhou Zheng nodded and said, "Ding Hao is like a hunting beast. He took the elevator to the 24th floor early, and then stopped at the stairs between the 17th and 18th floors through the safe passage." silently waiting for the prey to appear."

"Well, it should be like this." Xia Yan nodded accordingly.

"Captain Xia, are you aware of anything?" Zhou Zheng asked again.

"You mean..." Xia Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, and a thought came to his mind.

"Ding Hao probably met the murderer before the murder happened!" Zhou Zheng said firmly.

"I think so too!" Xia Yan took a deep breath. During the interrogation, he didn't react. Now that he thought about it carefully, it was indeed the case, and he said, "Ding Hao hid in the safe passage around 8:[-]." If someone climbs up the stairs, he will hear the sound, that is to say, he should have seen both the murderer and Song Bo."

"That's right, Ding Hao was the witness of the murder case. He should have witnessed the murderer hiding in Zhao Zhiyong's house, but I think the murderer didn't know about Ding Hao's existence, otherwise he would probably kill him to silence him." Zhou Zheng analyzed.

"Then let's just ask Ding Hao directly. He has already been detained. Continue to break through on him and ask for the murderer's information. In this way, as long as the murderer is found, the case will be solved!" Xia Yan once again saw the dawn of solving the case. .

"If you just rely on getting something out of Ding Hao's mouth, I'm afraid it will be very difficult. If I'm not wrong, Ding Hao should know the murderer. Moreover, he is willing to take the blame for the murderer, so how can he easily kill the murderer?" Confess it!" Zhou Zheng shook his head.

"You're right. Ding Hao's line may not work. It's really not easy for a person who wants to die to tell the truth. This case is getting more and more troublesome." Xia Yan thought I walked into a dead end, and now I have no clue.

"Captain Xia, at a time like this, you should eat first. Only when you're full can you think." Zhou Zheng's stomach growled, his head was so hungry that his thinking was extremely slow.

"It's here, it's here, Fat Sister BBQ, we often come here for supper when we're working on a case." Xia Yan pointed to a big barbecue restaurant in front of him, "It's still a bit cold at night, Let's go upstairs and eat."

"Yeah, I have no objection." Zhou Zheng followed into the store.

Just when Xia Yan and Zhou Zheng entered the barbecue restaurant, a chubby woman greeted them with a smiling face.

The woman was wearing ordinary clothes in dark red shades, with an apron over her body, her curly hair tied behind her head, she seemed to be too busy to pay attention to her image.

"Captain Xia, you're here!" The woman hurriedly greeted, she knew Xia Yan, and she could tell that Xia Yan was a frequent visitor here.

"Fat sister, there is still space upstairs." Xia Yan asked.

"Yes, yes, yes, there must be, do you go up and order, or do you go up after you have finished?" the woman asked.

"Let's order up there." Xia Yan said, "Show me the menu, it's my first time here, my friend may not know what's there."

"Okay." The woman quickly handed over a plastic-wrapped menu at the front desk.

"Zhou Zheng, you can order whatever you want, I'll treat you today." Xia Yan said with a smile.

"Captain Xia, you are really particular, so I won't be polite to you." Zhou Zheng immediately focused his attention on the menu, he was already starving.

At this moment, heavy footsteps sounded from the stairs, as well as some noise. Through these messy sounds, it could be heard that a group of guests came downstairs after eating and drank a lot of wine.

"Fat sister, the stairs in your house are too steep. It's hard to get down after drinking. Didn't you think about installing an elevator when you were renovating?" The tone was joking, obviously an acquaintance, and he was joking when he came to pay the bill.

"We operate on a small budget, so we can't afford an elevator, let alone going up and down the stairs. Isn't it much more convenient to take the stairs than the elevator?" Fat sister replied with a smile.

boom!
In an instant, Zhou Zheng's head seemed to explode, his eyes suddenly widened, and his eyes became extremely sharp.

"elevator."

"Up and down the stairs."

"convenient."

"hide."

"..."

Zhou Zheng muttered to himself, and while he was talking, Xia Yan's attention was attracted, and he stared blankly at Zhou Zheng with a bewildered face.

"Male, physically fit, over 180 in height, knows the victim, is very familiar with the Changhuwan community, and lives not too far away!"

"This is a premeditated murder case, but it is the murderer's first murder!"

"Have a very deep hatred for the victim!"

"Except for the last point, everything is correct, and now the motive is still unclear. Maybe there is something unknown in it."

"Team Xia!"

"I know who the murderer is!"

Zhou Zheng suddenly looked towards Xia Yan, the firmness in his eyes reached an unshakable level, and his face was even more solemn.

"Who?!" Xia Yan suddenly felt his scalp tingle, and Zhou Zheng found out the murderer before he ate the barbecue.

"But I don't have evidence now." Zhou Zheng didn't seem to hear Xia Yan's words, he was still immersed in the world of thinking, and he kept muttering.

"Why did he kill Zhao Zhiyong?"

"Why did Ding Hao take the blame for him?"

"and many more……"

"Could it be that something changed Ding Hao's plan!"

"I see!"

"I see!"

At this moment, Zhou Zheng's eyes were full of the most primitive joy of solving the mystery, but it only lasted for a moment, and he immediately grabbed Xia Yan's shoulder and said, "Hurry up, call and protect Chen Ting and her child." , they are in danger!"

"Oh, good." Xia Yan dialed again in a daze. Now his heart was filled with question marks, but he chose to believe in Zhou Zheng.

"Don't let anyone get close to Chen Ting, no matter how familiar they are, because that person is the murderer who killed Zhao Zhiyong!" Zhou Zheng added hastily.

At this time, the phone was connected.

"Is Chen Ting okay?" Xia Yan asked nervously.

"It's okay." The other party replied.

"That's good..." Xia Yan obviously breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "No one is going to Chen Ting's house?"

"That's not true. Someone went to visit. There is no problem. I didn't see Wang Wenxin." The other party said.

"No!" Xia Yan had goosebumps all over his body, and immediately realized the seriousness of the problem, and said, "Go to Chen Ting's house immediately, we will come over here, we must protect Chen Ting's safety, that person is probably The murderer who killed Zhao Zhiyong!"

"He...impossible!" The other party obviously hesitated.

"Who? Who is he? Quickly tell me who he is?" Xia Yan didn't even care about eating supper, holding the phone in his right hand, dragging Zhou Zheng with his left hand, and ran towards the direction of the city bureau quickly.
