Six accomplices in the case

Twenty-Nine Illusions (Part 2)

"Diversion of attention..." Gu Xing paused while holding up his mobile phone and swiping the screen to confirm the content of the first draft of the report. He raised his eyelids and looked at Jiang Mo intently. He followed her words without comment, which sounded like they were adulterated. Most of the instinctive guesses were half-finished: "But the question now is, where does the murderer want to transfer this attention...?"

"There are two things in manipulating the crime scene: moving and dumping the body, in order to conceal or destroy the first crime scene that can analyze the origin of the deceased, the whereabouts of the murderer, and the scope of activities - but obviously, whether it is Chen Zuoyi This murder case is still the previous heart-breaking case. The murderer never deliberately concealed the identity of the deceased. The facial fingerprints were never deliberately damaged. Even the place where the body was found was directly or indirectly related to the deceased. I wish it was The police immediately confirmed and announced the circumstances of the deceased, causing widespread concern, or panic and vigilance..."

Jiang Mo caught Gu Xing's gaze as he was tapping on the tips, pursed his lips, and carefully shook off the inference that his mouth was faster than his brain, step by step, "Moreover, throw out smoke bombs and disrupt our regular criminal investigation." The idea of ​​​​"based on on-site investigation, oriented on causality, and based on trajectory investigation" at the time of the case made it impossible for the police to quickly confirm the scene of the first crime - which means that we were unable to find out the case through on-site investigation. It has a more direct connection with the murderer and has the opportunity to lock in a range of targets. In the prelude cases of the heart-digging case, there is basically no case of dumping the body, and the murderer has never been seen to have any leisure to clean up the body or blood stains, but This time in the bar in front of the mountain, I deliberately made such a show..."

"Hiss...eh...?"

Before Jiang Mo finished speaking, Xiao Letian, who had been listening for a long time with his head drooped and hunched in his seat, suddenly made a confused sound. He obviously had no intention of talking at first, and was muttering to himself while he was thinking. Then he felt the silence in the conference room and slowly raised his eyes. Then he looked at the eyes poking at him in the room, and raised his hands awkwardly and meekly. "I...don't mean anything else, I just think the murderer's appearance is quite contradictory. You said that he wanted to divert the attention of our evidence investigation from the bar to the period before Chen Zuoyi was dragged back to the bar by a sack. , then why did he insist on letting him breathe, go back to the toilet, disembowel him, gouge out his heart, and then swab Chen Zuoyi's blood and pretend to show it in the toilet stall? But if he wants us to focus on him, If he died in the bar in front of the mountain, then why bother carrying the dead Chen Zuoyi, go out and then go back to the bar? Isn't this contradictory? It's still laborious. "

"Diversion of attention does not necessarily mean that we can shift the focus to a certain direction. I just think... the murderer deliberately made this trip, probably to confuse the audience and delay the opportunity." Jiang Mo nodded to himself. Hesitating again, he turned to look at Gu Xing, who had put down his cell phone, inquiringly, "Besides, the murderer seems to have put a lot of thought into Chen Zuoyi's case."

The premise for the merging of the heart-breaking cases is that the causes of death and the murderer's modus operandi of several seemingly unrelated deceased persons are almost consistent except for the gradual and neat approach. Gu Xing briefly glanced at the first draft of the report, raised his hand and put the phone back under Zhu Silai's eyes, tilted his head and looked at his precious disciple: "I hear what you said, do you have any doubts?"

"I..." Jiang Mo paused for a moment, then took a deep breath: "I doubt Liang Ji."

"Close the door and tell me." Gu Xing pinched the bridge of his sore nose and said, "Reason."

Jiang Mo stood up, took out the USB flash drive that was already warm in his pocket and connected it to the screen. He spent most of the day picking it up to follow the alibi that Liang Ji had left for her intentionally or unintentionally, as well as the information that Chen Zuoyi had come into contact with before the incident. Jiang Linlin confessed some hidden secrets and briefly explained the premise that Liang Ji had deliberately lured Chen Zuoyi to the Shanqian Bar and that there was indeed a conflict of interest. Then she looked at her master's eyes that seemed thoughtful but more doubtful, and remained silent. After hesitating for a few seconds, he nodded firmly and took a long breath.

"Chen Zuoyi is very similar to his brother Chen Zuohui. He has a bad record of doing business for profit, and he dare not be involved in major crimes. However, he has enemies all over the place for his small mistakes. Liang Ji, who has a direct competitive relationship with his career territory, is one of them. Moreover, Chen Zuohui and Chen Zuoyi are both Before the murder, there were prerequisite issues regarding the bidding competition between Phu Yen Hung Seng and Sheng Seng International."

Jiang Mo lowered his head and retrieved a surveillance video of the road near the mountain bar. He held a remote control pen that was not very responsive and circled the black Buick business car passing by on the screen, as well as the recordings of the two road sections before and after the upper right corner of the screen. Time, "Although Jiang Linlin from the Fashion College mentioned that there was no conclusive correction on the incident of urging Chen Zuoyi to go to the Shanqian Bar on the night of the incident, and there were indeed occasional doubts, I just sorted out the information sent by Deputy Director Zou It was found in the video that Liang Ji passed by the bar neighborhood when he drove to the Private Kitchen near Odai-cho last night - and at 1:30 in the morning, he left in a company vehicle after meeting customers, leaving the black Buick behind in the Odai-cho neighborhood. , that is, around five o'clock in the morning after the incident, someone drove his car on the way back to Shengcheng International, and took a detour near the block where the Shanqian Bar was located, and briefly stayed there and took Chen Zuoyi away for a while. The car was near the online car-hailing service - that is, the surveillance blind spot near the junction of the jurisdictions, and then delayed for at least fifteen minutes before driving away and returning to the right road."

Gu Xing raised his eyebrows: "But Liang Ji clearly said that the car seems to be still at Xiaotai Town, right?"    "So I contacted Liang Ji's assistant secretary Li Li on the phone and confirmed the car. The situation." Jiang Mo nodded: "Li Li said that it was a temporary arrangement to drive a business colleague to another place early in the morning today. The group's cars were not enough, so he contacted the driver to pick up the car and wash it after five o'clock. The black Buick The car has always been in the name of the group. Liang Ji probably didn't know the specific situation. She forgot to register the car and didn't think about it for a while. After that, Li Li provided me with the phone number of the driver at the time. After confirming that the arrangements were correct and explaining that the short stop was for a bite of breakfast, we left without finding anything unusual."

"Why is this somewhat similar to the circumstances in which the murderer escaped when investigating the Chen Zuohui case..." Gu Xing rubbed the stubble on his chin, raised his eyelids and glanced at Zhu Silai, who stood up straight from the radiator. , "First by accident, I drove past the Yamazene Bar neighborhood to eat in the direction of Kodai-cho, and then at around 5 a.m. after the incident, I drove out of the unmonitored area behind the bar. What a coincidence, the murderer also disappeared..."

"Moreover, when I was talking to Jiang Linlin, I met Luo Xin, who lives in a villa area with the Liang family and the Chen family. He secretly reported that he saw Liang Ji dumping something in the trunk of the black car." Jiang Mo took out his mobile phone, flipped through the chat interface, threw it to Xiao Letian, and motioned for him to hand it to Gu Xing, "Xu Muyang also confirmed that when Liang Ji drove to pick her up from get off work, he heard a muffled sound from the trunk. But Liang Ji said it was golf club equipment, so she didn’t care.”

"There's a problem with the car..." Gu Xing finally nodded: "Liang Ji is no better than Liang Ming. He has no definite direction. It's not that easy to touch his things - by the way, Lotte, when Chen Zuoyi went to the bar, he decided that You haven’t found an online ride-hailing car yet, right?”

Hearing this, Xiao Letian straightened his body and shook his head like a rattle: "Chen Zuoyi had already had a round of drinks when he went to the bar. Secretary Xue said that she actually received a contact from Chen Zuoyi last night, asking her to bring the company to the bar. The driver arranged to go to the villa area. However, at that time, the company's cars were basically dispatched. Secretary Xue thought that he was probably acting like a monster and ignored him. Later, he was afraid that he was drunk driving, so he contacted an online car rental driver... but the car belonged to the platform. After receiving the order, the driver's reserved time was until midnight. Later, I don't know why the car was left there and who drove it away. Now the whereabouts of the driver and the car are unknown. The road surveillance in the jurisdiction has not revealed anything. Traffic control I have also brought back the monitoring equipment over there, and I will continue with my senior sister later."

"Both the car and the person have to be found. As for Liang Ji -" Gu Xing raised his chin and nodded at Jiang Mo, who was frowning: "Not to mention Chen Zuohui and Chen Zuoyi, we have to rule out whether this suspicion is established or not. However, There is not even the slightest clue about the relationship between the other deceased people who dug their hearts out and Liang Ji so far, so you still suspect that he is the murderer?"

Jiang Mo was startled and shook his head heavily.

"I'm suspecting that Liang Ji probably knows the answer to this unrelated serial murder case."

Due to work and health reasons, I will be working on another day~

"If you don't know enough about yourself, you will be left behind; if you look at the distant mountains, you will move forward."

Good luck! Good luck moving forward!
