Galactic Tech Empire

Chapter 288 Disappearing
No matter whether this Tie Qiang killed someone or not, the crime of theft is indispensable anyway.

Then Lin Zhongtian asked about Song Tianming's situation.

After a while, the female police officer A Fen sent a copy of the interrogation transcript to Lin Zhongtian. After reading it with Fang Ping, he and Fang Ping learned the reason.

Song Tianming was discovered by Li Guang because of embezzlement of public funds, and was then threatened by Li Guang using it as an excuse, and Li Guang fell in love with Song Tianming's wife Zhang Lihua.

Faced with Li Guang's coercion and temptation, Zhang Lihua could only bear with it.

"It seems that Song Tianming and Zhang Lihua also have motives for killing people," Fang Ping said.

"That's right! Especially Zhang Lihua, who happened to be the last person the deceased saw after his death." Lin Zhongtian was also very skeptical.

"No, it's too early to draw conclusions. Don't forget that an unidentified person entered this room." Fang Ping touched his chin and said.

After a while, a police officer in charge of on-site evidence collection ran over:
"Head, after testing, the deceased's carotid artery was stabbed to death. The murder weapon was a dagger or knife with a length of about 20 to 30 meters, but we did not find the murder weapon at the crime scene."

"Have you checked carefully?"

"We conducted a careful investigation of the entire room and found no murder weapon. It may have been taken away by the murderer."

"You and Archer go to search Tie Qiang's room." Lin Zhongtian ordered.

"OK!"

"Others conducted a full search of the rooms and common areas of the other two suspects."

"Yes!"

Fang Ping suddenly looked at the fish tank in the room of the deceased: "Captain Lin, let's take a look at that fish tank together!"

"Fish tank?" Lin Zhongtian was confused, but he followed up.

"Have you found anything here?"

Lin Zhongtian quickly called out the on-site inspection report just now and looked at it:
"I found some traces of the activity of the unknown person here, but I don't know why, these traces are quite blurry, as if they have been washed by water."

"The water has been cleaned?" Fang Ping squinted his eyes and thought for a while, "Captain Lin, please open the window above the fish tank and check if the stainless steel mesh has been damaged or moved."

"Uh, okay." Lin Zhongtian quickly put on his gloves and opened the window above the fish tank.

After a while, Lin Zhongtian discovered that the lock on the maintenance entrance of the stainless steel mesh of the fish tank was broken: "Boss Fang, the lock on the maintenance entrance has been cut."

"As expected!" Fang Ping immediately understood how the murderer avoided the monitoring and entered the room of the deceased.

"It seems that the fourth person may have entered the room of the deceased from here." Lin Zhongtian is not a fool, and he can understand the tricks when he thinks about it.

"Call the hotel manager over here," Fang Ping ordered.

Lin Zhongtian walked to the corridor and called the depressed hotel manager in.

"Captain Lin, President Fang, is there anything you need to know?" The hotel manager asked quickly.

"Are all the fish tanks in your hotel connected?" Fang Ping asked.

"Yes, the fish tanks on each floor are a whole."

Fang Ping pointed to the entrance opened by Lin Zhongtian and asked, "Then is this fish tank maintenance entrance available in every room?"

"Yes, these entrances are set up for easy maintenance, so every room has them, but we all have locked ones, how can this be opened?"

"It was cut open."

"It seems that everyone at this level is suspicious." Lin Zhongtian said with a frown.

Fang Ping said to the manager: "I took a look. There are two hotel-owned rooms on this floor. There are a total of 39 rooms, excluding the 16 rooms occupied by our company employees. For other rooms, please ask the manager to provide the tenant information. call out."

Soon the hotel manager called out the tenant information of the remaining 23 rooms.

"Judging from the expression of the deceased, he should have known the murderer, which means that the possibility of committing the crime by an acquaintance is very high." Fang Ping continued.

Lin Zhongtian quickly conducted an investigation based on the tenant information provided by the hotel manager, and soon the investigation of the 23 rooms was completed.

"We first locked down the tenants living in Xiamen based on their household registration and permanent residence. In addition to Song Tianming and his wife, there are two other people who are also in Xiamen."

"Summon these two people over first."

After a while, the police who went out to search the room of Song Tianming and his wife came back.

"Head, this is the investigation report."

Lin Zhongtian flipped through the holographic projection report, and Fang Ping also looked at the investigation report. In the room of Song Tianming and his wife, they found a diving suit, a fish tank maintenance entrance lock that had been cut open, and a 26 cm long dagger.

"Is the dagger the one of the killer?"

"No!" The inspector explained after shaking his head: "During the big data matching, we found that the dagger or knife in the wound of the deceased should be relatively thick, which does not match Song Tianming's dagger."

Both Fang Ping and Lin Zhongtian frowned. This Song Tianming's murder motive and all kinds of evidence point to him, but is this person really the murderer?
Especially Fang Ping, the black shadow that flashed past last night has been entrenched in his heart.

Soon, two other suspects were brought over.

One is Zhang Li who came to participate in the fishing competition, and the other is Li Shaoye, the third son of the fishing boat owner that Fang Ping saw in the hot spring pool yesterday.

"Mr. Li, where were you at 20-21 last night?" Lin Zhongtian asked.

"I drank some wine and then slept in the room." Li Shaoye replied nervously.

"Then is it convenient for us to investigate your room?"

"Yes." Li Shaoye nodded quickly.

Then Lin Zhongtian routinely questioned and investigated the fisherman Zhang Li.

Both of them seemed to be well-behaved, Fang Ping gave them a lot of attention, not letting go of every detail of their bodies.

Zhang Li seemed a little restrained, and Li Shaoye was the same. Suddenly he saw streaked redness and swelling on Li Shaoye's right hand, which seemed to be the mark after something was tied.

"Head, the search report of the room of the two of them is out."

Lin Zhongtian and Fang Ping looked through it quickly, and after a while, they found nothing unusual in their room. There were two small knives in Zhang Li's room, but they didn't match the murder weapon; and Li Shaoye's room also found no murder weapon.

As for the maintenance entrance of the fish tank in the two-person room, it is also intact.

However, the lock at the fish tank maintenance entrance of Song Tianming and his wife's room was cut open.

In other words, the murderer used at least two tools, a vise and a dagger, but none of them have been found yet.

It's too weird, Fang Ping mused.

"Captain Lin, let's go together and take a look in the suspect's room to see if there is anything missing." Fang Ping suggested.

"Ok!"

The two first came to the room of the first suspect, Tie Qiang.
