I made a copy at the police station

Chapter 125 The person who bought the rope (please subscribe, please vote!)
Li Xiang told everyone all the details of their just interrogation, and even took out the transcript of the interview. There were no obvious flaws in Zhang Lihui's words, only the bundle of nylon rope was his only flaw.

"Then did Zhang Lihui buy this nylon rope himself, or did Miao Xiuhui give it to him?"

"It's easy to figure out this problem. Check all the stores in the city that sell this nylon rope. The person who bought this nylon rope hasn't been around for a long time. The boss should be able to recognize it."

"It makes sense, Zhou Man. After the meeting, we will draft a joint investigation report and ask the police stations in the city to check how many stores sell nylon ropes in their respective jurisdictions, and then compare them one by one to see if they are the same model."

This job is like looking for a needle in a haystack. How long will it take to complete the investigation with just the number of people in their criminal investigation team?
We can only let the police station below take the lead.

"I think it is unlikely that Miao Xiuhui gave it to her. What good would it do her to put a bundle of nylon rope on Zhang Lihui's car for no reason? Not only was there no benefit, but she died on the nylon rope in the end."

Su Jiayi also put forward her own different views on this point. She always believed that this operation was logically unreasonable.

"Then if she really gave it to her, did she want to commit suicide? And then framed it for Zhang Lihui in advance?"

"I was wondering whether it was a frame-up for suicide, but after watching the scene, I thought it was unlikely. It is impossible for a person to strangle himself to death with a rope, unless he uses some lever device, but there was no such thing at the scene. device.”

Li wanted to express his previous opinion. It was absolutely impossible for Miao Xiuhui to commit suicide.

"Yes, judging from the crime scene, it is absolutely impossible for Miao Xiuhui to commit suicide. If she committed suicide, where is her mobile phone now? Where is her bag? Who cleaned the crime scene?" Cao Gang continued to add.

Dead people can't do this.

"What is the truth? How come the more clues there are, the more confusing it becomes?"

Mao Ji also felt that he had a severe headache. Who said what was true?
Now if you want to verify whether Zhang Lihui is lying, it seems that you can only find a store that sells nylon rope and see if he bought the bundle of nylon rope.

"Since there is no clue, let's check the source of the nylon rope first."

Seeing that everyone had no good ideas, Cao Gang decided to focus on the next step, which was to trace the source of the nylon rope.

"By the way, let Zhang Lihui go first!"

"Let go?"

Everyone was a little surprised to hear Cao Gang's decision. Zhang Lihui is still an important suspect and has not completely cleared himself of the suspicion. The evidence alone is enough to arrest him unless there is strong evidence to prove his innocence. .

"Yes, let him go and let his family come and take him back."

"Yes."

Although everyone had doubts about Captain Cao's order, they still carried it out to the letter.
-
"Zhang Lihui, call your family to come pick you up. You can go back."

"Really? Can I ask my sister to pick me up?" Zhang Lihui was a little flustered when he heard that his family members were required to pick it up. If his wife knew about this, he would not have a good life in the future.

"can."

Mao Ji didn't embarrass him and returned the phone to him.

After a while, Zhang Lihui's sister arrived at the detention center.

"Hello, I'm Zhang Li, Zhang Lihui's sister. Where is my brother? What's wrong with him?"

After Zhang Li received his brother's call, she rushed over immediately.

"Come here and sign. After signing, you can take him away. You can talk about the specific situation when you go home."

Li Xiang glanced at Zhang Li. Zhang Lihui was tall and thick, but his sister was not bad looking. She had a good figure and appearance, and her face was still childish. She was either in college or working as an intern after graduation.

"Brother, what happened? Why were you arrested by the Public Security Bureau?"

Zhang Li asked anxiously after seeing his brother.

"Go home and say, don't tell your sister-in-law about this."

After Zhang Lihui and the others left, Li Xiang and the others resumed their investigation around the bundle of nylon rope.

Almost all police stations in the city arranged for police officers from their respective jurisdictions to go to various stores to inquire whether the same type of nylon rope was being sold.

After a lot of research and planning, there is good news and bad news.

The good news is that this nylon rope is made of a special material and is stronger than ordinary nylon ropes. It is not sold in general stores.

The bad news is, they were looking for average stores and haven't found anything second-rate yet.

But the police firmly believe that this bundle of nylon rope was bought in Jinghai City.

With heavy police investment, they finally found the same nylon rope for sale in a Laocheng hardware store.

After receiving the news, Li Xiang immediately took the bundle of nylon rope to the hardware store for comparison.

"Boss, take a look, is this bundle of nylon rope sold by your family?"

The boss took the nylon rope and looked at it carefully, nodded and confirmed: "Yes, it is sold by my family. There are very few such nylon ropes on the market. It is stronger than ordinary nylon ropes and is also much more expensive."

"Then do you remember how many bundles were sold last month?"

"Not many, because it is more expensive and few people buy it."

Hearing what the boss said, Li Xiang was immediately overjoyed. He quickly took out Zhang Lihui's photo and asked, "Do you know this person? Has he ever bought this bundle of rope from you?"

"Let me see."

The boss took the photo, looked at it carefully, then shook his head and said: "I have no impression, he seems to have never come to buy it!"

"Are you sure?" Mao Ji confirmed to him again.

"I'm sure this person has never come to my store to buy anything!" the boss said with great certainty.

"It seems that Zhang Lihui really didn't lie."

Li Xiang said to Mao Ji, and then took out a photo of Miao Xiuhui to show to the boss: "What about this woman? Did she come over and ask you if you bought this bundle of rope?"

"No, no woman came to buy this kind of rope last month."

The boss barely looked at the photo before denying it.

"She didn't buy it either?"

Li Xiang and the others were immediately dumbfounded. If this bundle of rope was neither bought by Zhang Lihui nor Miao Xiuhui, then who could it be?
Zhang Lihui said that Miao Xiuhui gave him this bundle of rope. Is that true?If so, who gave her this bundle of rope?
"I remembered that in the middle of last month, a man came over to buy nylon rope. Ordinary nylon rope was not strong enough for him, so he bought an expensive one, and he bought two bundles at a time."

"Then can you tell me what he looks like?" Li Xiang has a master-level skull restoration technique. He can draw that person through the boss's dictation. In the last case of severed fingers and dismemberment, it was through this skill that the suspect was identified. People drew it.

"I don't remember clearly, but there is surveillance in my store, and the video can be saved for two months. I should be able to find out who came to buy the surveillance video at that time."

Hearing what the store owner said, Li Xiang felt happy: "Great, we want to copy this video back."

With the cooperation of the store owner, Li Xiang and the others successfully copied the surveillance video. Since the store owner couldn't remember the specific date when he bought the nylon rope, he directly copied back all the video data from last month. look.

After returning to the city bureau, Li Xiang, Mao Ji and others separately checked the copied video surveillance, and started to play it in fast forward one after the other until April 4th.

Hard work paid off, and Li Xiang finally saw someone buying two bundles of nylon rope on the shelf at 4 a.m. on April 13.

"found it."

After Mao Ji heard Li Xiang's movements, he pressed the pause button in his hand and came over.

Li Xiang immediately slowed down the playback speed of the video to normal speed, and then adjusted the video to a few seconds before the man entered the store, and soon a figure walked in.

Seeing the person coming, Li Xiang and Mao Ji were immediately surprised and said, "Gao Hongwei? Why is it him?"

Both of them thought they had made a mistake.

But Gao Hongwei and the others would not admit their mistake. They had already been summoned by the police because of his Mercedes-Benz.

In the video, Gao Hongwei asked his boss if he had a stronger nylon rope, and his boss directly recommended this style to him.

And he happily bought two bundles, paid and left.

"Brother Mao, this case is getting more and more interesting."

Gao Hongwei, who had been ruled out as a suspect in the crime, returned to the police's sight again because of this surveillance.

"This situation needs to be reported to Team Cao."

New clues emerged in the case, and Li Xiang and the others immediately reported the situation to Team Cao.

After Team Cao listened, he immediately questioned the relationship between Gao Hongwei, Miao Xiuhui and Zhang Lihui.

"Zhang Lihui said that this bundle of rope was given to him by Miao Xiuhui, and the rope in Miao Xiuhui's hand was bought for her by Gao Hongwei. The purpose of Gao Hongwei buying this bundle of rope was subjectively to kill Miao Xiuhui and let Miao Xiuhui The purpose of giving zero bundles of rope to Zhang Lihui was to interfere with the police's sight, so as to frame Zhang Lihui's crime and kill someone with a borrowed knife."

Cao Gang connected all the clues of the entire case and came to a conclusion that was consistent with the logic of the crime. However, there was still a fatal bug in this logic that he did not understand, which was why Gao Hongwei killed Miao Xiuhui.

According to Gao Hongwei's previous confession, they had broken up for almost two months. Why did he kill Miao Xiuhui at this time and robbed all her valuables?

He is now the boss of a company and there is no way he is short of this little money.

Could it be that the reason he did this was just to interfere with the police's sight?
Create the illusion of robbery and murder?

"One trick kills two birds with one stone."

After what Cao Gang said, Mao Ji suddenly understood and even made an association: "When Gao Hongwei was in love with Miao Xiuhui, Zhang Lihui happened to appear, so a rift developed between Gao Hongwei and Miao Xiuhui, and the idea of ​​revenge came up. Kill Miao Xiuhui and put the blame on Zhang Lihui. In this way, one of them will die and the other will be sentenced to prison, killing two birds with one stone. You Gao Hongwei, we were almost deceived by you."

Cao Gang followed Mao Ji's words and continued: "Yes, this also explains why the crime scene was carefully cleaned and only the used condom was left. The purpose was also to point the police's finger at Zhang Lihui. To establish solid evidence that he committed murder, we even bought an extra bundle of rope and put it in Zhang Lihui’s taxi.”

The two of them explained the logic of the entire crime in tandem. At first glance, it seemed to make sense, but after Li Xiang thought about it carefully, he still felt that something was wrong:

"I think it's not that simple. Why did Miao Xiuhui listen to Gao Hongwei and put the bundle of nylon rope that might kill her into Zhang Lihui's taxi?"

"It's possible that Gao Hongwei deceived her and asked him to put the rope into Zhang Lihui's car."

"You quarrel with your wife and then ask her to do something. Will she do it?"

Mao Ji shook his head and asked her to do things without even thinking about it when she was angry.

"Let's not make wild guesses here. Let's ask the person involved about this matter. Although Miao Xiuhui is dead, the other two people are still alive."

"Yes."

Later, Li Xiang contacted Gao Hongwei and asked him if he had time to go to the police station to assist in the investigation. He learned that he would not be able to come to a meeting today.

But Li Xiang didn't want to delay it. Since he couldn't come, let's go.

"I just went to see what company Gao Hongwei opened."

After the two hung up the phone, they checked the registered address of Gao Hongwei's company and then drove there in a car.

Following the navigation, the two came to the downstairs of Gao Hongwei's company. When they came out at the front desk, Li Xiang showed his police officer ID: "Let's find Gao Hongwei."

"Sister Zhang, the police are looking for the boss."

After the little girl at the front desk saw that it was the police, she quickly ran to the company to call someone.

"Hello, is it you?"

The person walking out of the company was Zhang Lihui's sister Zhang Li. She had just brought his brother back from Li Xiang a few days ago. She didn't expect to see them in the company now.

"Why are you here?" Seeing Zhang Li, Li Xiang and the others were also confused. How could it be such a coincidence?
"I work here!" Zhang Li said matter-of-factly.

"Where's Gao Hongwei?"

"We are in a meeting, what do you want from her?"

"Then let's talk to you first." Li Xiang saw Zhang Li here and had more and more questions in his heart, so he prepared to talk to her first and then looked for Gao Hongwei.

"Uh, okay, let's go to the reception room."

The owner of the conference room was having a meeting, so she had to take Li Xiang and the others to the reception room.

Then he asked the little girl at the front desk to bring two bottles of mineral water, put them on the table and left.

"What's the matter with you coming to see my boss?" Zhang Li happened to have a lot of questions to ask Li Xiang. Although she fished his brother out that day, he didn't explain many things clearly to him. Originally, she thought This matter just passed. Who would have thought that the policeman handling his brother's case would actually find him here again today.

Is there any connection in this?
"Do you know the relationship between Gao Hongwei and your brother?"

Li Xiang took out the interview transcript and started questioning.
"I know, the relationship between brother-in-law and brother-in-law!"

puff~
Because of the hot weather, Mao Ji saw the little girl at the front desk handing him mineral water. He felt really thirsty, so he took it and unscrewed the bottle cap and took a sip. Who knew that after hearing Zhang Li's answer, a mouthful of mineral water suddenly spurted out: "sorry Sorry!"
