deep white secret

Chapter 47

After Xu Jie finished explaining, Ning Xia's eyes clearly shone with light. Xu Jie continued with hidden emotions:
"Come on, let's talk about what else we discovered?"

Ningxia raised her hand:
"Team Xu, I checked the red plastic woven bag that contained the body. It's 50*35*25cm. This size is a regular small size. I'm a little confused here."

"Tell me?"

"Captain Xu, I went to the forensic medical team to see the bags containing the body parts. Why didn't the murderer choose one big bag, but divided the body parts into seven bags?"

This question stopped everyone.

Ningxia continued:
"Look, the murderer used seven woven bags, and the place where the body was thrown was 500 meters away from the entrance of the alley. Who can take seven bags at a time? Isn't the murderer afraid of being discovered when the body is thrown?"

"This is indeed doubtful."

After Xu Jie heard what Ning Xia said, he looked up at the big screen, staring at the woven bags with his eyebrows lowered in thought.

Ma Mingjie asked:
"Or does the murderer have a car? Ningxia, how big is the alley? Can you drive in and out?"

Ningxia glanced at Ma Mingjie:

"If it's an ordinary hatchback, it should be OK. Team Xu and I conducted on-site inspections at the time, and Team Xu also raised this issue. Vehicles entering and exiting Haining Street can also enter here."

"This makes sense. Even if the murderer drives into the alley and is discovered by others, as long as no one notices the moment he dumps the body, it will be considered perfect."

Ningxia seriously considered Ma Mingjie's words and finally shook her head:

"I always find it unreasonable. Regardless of whether he drives or not, I still think the murderer should avoid all possibilities of being discovered."

At this time, Zhang Lei spoke:

"Captain Xu, just now I referred to the report of the forensic team and compared the missing persons in Jinghai City recently, and found a man who matched the deceased."

Zhang Lei's words cheered everyone up instantly.

"Li Wenrui, male, 35 years old. His wife reported the case five days ago, saying that Li Wenrui left home in the morning and never came back."

"Zhang Lei, go and verify Li Wenrui's personal information immediately, and send the sample to the forensic team for DNA comparison with the deceased as soon as possible."

"Ningxia, Shi Yihang, please continue to read all the surveillance video data on Haining Street and Kuiying Street. The body dumping time will be around three o'clock in the afternoon on the 20th. Find the suspect vehicle and draw a conclusion."

"Ma Mingjie, go to Fuhai Hotel to collect information on all employees. On the day of the incident, Ningxia and I checked these people. If it is confirmed that the deceased is Li Wenrui, find out whether Li Wenrui has any contact with the people at Fuhai Hotel."

When the meeting was over, Xu Jie sat in the same place and stared at Ningxia all the time, Ningxia was a little embarrassed by him.

Everyone walked out of the conference room, and Ningxia pretended to pack her things. When there were only two people left, Xu Jie walked up to Ningxia and whispered:
"Let's have dinner together tonight. I've been out for a meeting these two days, and I really miss the smell of our own cooking."

"Well, to my place?"

"That `s a deal."

Xu Jie watched Ning Xia's back, a warm current surged to his limbs, and the heaviness caused by the case was relieved a lot.

Before getting off work, several members of the criminal investigation team gathered together again. Zhang Lei's clues were the most exciting. The identity of the deceased had been confirmed, and it was Li Wenrui.

But one thing surprised everyone. Li Wenrui's wife Zhou Xiaodan was in a car accident two days ago and is currently hospitalized in the city hospital.

"Team Xu, Li Wenrui is the operations director of Tianqi Investment and Financial Management Company. It was easy to get the water bottle he used in his office. After confirming his identity, I contacted Zhou Xiaodan. I haven't had time for an interview yet."

"60.00% of murders are committed by people next to each other, so we first focus our investigation on Zhou Xiaodan."

After Xu Jie finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Lei:

"You continue to investigate in Tianqi, mainly about Li Wenrui's social relations. Check with the company colleagues to see if Li Wenrui has any disputes at work. Tomorrow, Ningxia and I will go to the city hospital to see Zhou Xiaodan."

Ma Mingjie went to investigate and had not returned yet. Ningxia reported the results of her and Shi Yihang's investigation:

"Team Xu, we determined that the time for dumping the body was around three o'clock that day, so Shi Yihang and I locked the monitoring range between 02:30 and three o'clock. Unfortunately, only one car passed the Haining Road intersection."

"Team Xu, we have already called the car owner. He is a resident of Kuiying Street and lives in a residential building in front of Fuhai Hotel. The car owner went home to pick up his things that day. There were several people from the company in the car. Everyone is going to team building."

"Yes, and the owner of the car went home temporarily. We also found his car on Kuiying Street. This person came home at 25:[-] and left at [-]:[-]. He did not have the conditions to dump the body, so we excluded him. "

"In this case, we will start investigating Li Wenrui's social relationships, paying special attention to people related to the animal husbandry industry. Of course, doctors will not rule it out."

Zhang Lei joked:

"Captain Xu, Captain Xu's opinion at the last meeting was to exclude doctors. Why do you think it's doctors now?"

"Everything is possible. I am just arguing based on past experience. There is no absolute in the investigation. However, I still prefer that the murderer is a butcher."

Ningxia’s final speech:

"Team Xu, I just went to the forensic team to verify the woven bag that wrapped the body. It is brand new. From this, we can see that the murderer had a grudge against Li Wenrui and it was a premeditated murder. The murderer had made preparations in advance. Unfortunately, the Korean forensic doctor was there Nothing was found on the woven bag.”

"It doesn't make much sense to continue following this clue. Tomorrow we will focus on investigating Li Wenrui's interpersonal relationships and start with this aspect first."

Before getting off work, Xu Jie was temporarily called away by Bureau Song. After receiving Xu Jie's WeChat message, Ningxia decided to go to the supermarket alone and cook him a big meal in the evening.

This kind of mood is something Ningxia has never experienced before in his 24 years of life. It's a little exciting and a little sweet.

Xu Jie said that he would give him an answer when the case was solved. In fact, Ningxia already had the answer in his heart.

Vegetables cannot be left out, so Ningxia picked up a few and put them in the shopping cart. After walking around the supermarket, Ningxia decided to make braised pork ribs again.

While picking ribs in the raw meat section, Ning Xia remembered Xu Jie's evaluation of the butcher.

By chance, there was a female customer next to Ning Xia who bought half a rack of ribs. Ning Xia stared at the salesman closely, watching him put the ribs on the meat table and then chop them with his knife.

Sure enough, what Xu Jie said was absolutely right. The salesperson's attention was on the size of the ribs, and he didn't mind the position of the bones.

Because no matter how many bones are difficult to cut, the ribs will be cut quickly under the bone chopping knife.

Several customers also purchased ribs one after another, and Ningxia observed them at the counter for a while.

The salesperson sometimes uses a guillotine-style bone cutter, and sometimes uses a broad-backed, thick, small fan-shaped bone cutter. No matter which tool is used, the ribs are packaged to customers quickly with skillful techniques.

After sending away the last customer, the salesperson noticed Ningxia:

"What to buy? I think you have been looking for a long time. The ribs and meat are fresh today. Come and order."

"Well, let's have some ribs."

The salesperson skillfully picked out two bones from the whole rack of ribs and asked Ningxia:
"Is it enough?"

"That's about right. You can have another one."

Because Ningxia discovered that the salesperson had used another kind of sharper knife to remove the ribs from the whole fan.

It seems that Xu Jie's analysis of today's case was not wrong. The murderer should be someone who is engaged in this field. At least he must have many suitable tools for committing crimes.

"What do you think?"

When Ningxia was stunned, Xu Jie's voice rang in Ningxia's ears.
