Chapter 7 All the evidence points to you!
The next morning, when Lin Meiqi woke up, it was raining outside.
Some roads near my residence are still under repair and are quite muddy. Fortunately, she rode her bicycle past and avoided the quagmires.
When they arrived near the serious crime squad building, they still had half an hour to spare, so Lin Meiqi went to a nearby supermarket.
The convenience store near my home doesn’t have a complete range of products, so I just buy some daily necessities on my way to work and then take them home.
While shopping in the supermarket, Lin Meiqi stopped in front of a row of chocolates. The colorful and beautiful packaging with the delicious contents printed on them made her drool.
She likes to eat sweet things lately.
After thinking for a long time, I found a dark chocolate and put it in the cart.
Suddenly, someone patted her shoulder from behind, gently and softly. When Lin Meiqi turned around, it turned out to be He Wanyi.
"Awan, you come to buy things too!"
"Yes, Forensic Doctor Lin, I live nearby, so I often come to this AEON supermarket. I'm running low on oil and balsamic vinegar at home."
Lin Meiqi took a look and saw that there were indeed a lot of kitchen supplies in her cart.
"I recommend you a tuna and egg flavored rice roll and a niche brand of matcha ice cream. They are so delicious! I always buy them every time I come to this supermarket."
"Wow, that's great. I haven't eaten breakfast yet."
The two pushed the cart around and stopped until they found a spot.
He Wanyi put two hand-rolled rice rolls of different flavors into her cart: "You will know once you have tried it, it is absolutely delicious~"
She comes to this supermarket to shop, most of the time for the convenient food here.
Finally, she went to the freezer to get the matcha flavored ice cream. He Wanyi also got a box for herself: "Eat it quickly when you get home, or it will melt."
After paying the bill, the two walked out of the supermarket carrying large and small bags.
They all brought umbrellas, and with a "bang", Lin Meiqi opened the umbrella. He Wanyi directly covered her with an umbrella: "Let's go, let's go back."
"OK."
"Oh, right, Forensic Doctor Lin, are you free this weekend? Let's go hiking with a group of people, would you like to join us? Just think of it as exercise. It's boring to be at home on weekends. Besides, Charlie Feng will treat us. Every time we go out, he pays for all the food and drinks. However, you still have to prepare your own climbing equipment."
"Is the sergeant so good?" Lin Meiqi wondered.
"Of course, don't you know? Sir Feng is the police chief on the surface, but he is actually the second son of the Feng Group. Although he doesn't have to take care of the family affairs... Of course, he has no interest in inheriting the family business. However, he is not short of money, so of course he can do whatever he wants! Being a policeman was Sir Feng's dream when he was a child, and this dream has come true now. He is rich, so he doesn't need these little things, so he will eat more meals with him if he can."
Lin Meiqi suddenly realized: "Wow, if that's the case, I won't be polite."
The two returned to the serious crime squad. Lin Meiqi opened her umbrella and placed it outside the door. She saw that all the police officers were there and the painting had been taken from the studio owner, He Zhiting.
Everyone was leaning over the table, looking for clues.
Lin Meiqi was busy in the forensic room for a while, and the police officers in the serious crime team who were in charge of other cases brought her some information.
After she finished, she handed in the results and went to help too.
“Are these all the paintings?”
"Not completely." replied Charlie Feng.
"He Zhiting said that there was always one painting missing from the ones she collected for a while. She didn't know if there was a problem during the collection process or if the person didn't hand in the assignment. But it's a training class that you pay for, and the fees are not low. She didn't care if others didn't want to hand in, and she can't force them, right?" said the police officer responsible for retrieving the paintings.
"So she doesn't care?"
"He Zhiting once mentioned in class that we should be responsible for ourselves and not let the money go to waste. So later on, everything became normal and we paid everything we were supposed to pay. He Zhiting didn't care about it."
"That is to say, there are a few paintings that are not among these paintings..."
Lin Meiqi fell into deep thought, flipping through the hundreds of paintings and looking at them over and over again.
But I don't have any clue no matter how I look at it. It's strange.
A police officer raised the question: "Could it be that Ho Chi-ting learned the details and wanted to protect her husband, so she collected all the problematic paintings?"
“This possibility cannot be ruled out.”
But as soon as he finished speaking, He Wanyi shouted, "Look at this painting, there is a teardrop mole under the left eyelid. You can see that it is not there in other paintings. They are obviously copying the same portrait, right?"
Everyone rushed over to take a look.
"You see, this spot is very obvious. When the color was applied, it was deliberately added red. The woman in the portrait looks weak and delicate, as if she is about to cry. It's really pitiful."
"It's true. No one else has this red teardrop mole."
"A female student with a teardrop mole... Where's the photo? Bring it over!"
Everyone looked carefully in the graduation class photo and indeed saw the teardrop mole under the eye of an extremely beautiful female student. It was in exactly the same position and was also a small red dot.
The beautiful female student is called Mu Mian.
This is definitely not a coincidence.
When I opened the painting again, I found that the signature on the back was actually from the first victim, Liang Mianqi.
Everyone suddenly realized.
It’s not that Liang Mianqi and Bi Baoluo have any ambiguous relationship, but Liang Mianqi saw the relationship between Bi Baoluo and the beautiful female student Mu Mian, and used this to remind Bi Baoluo - I know your secret.
Because when He Zhiting was teaching, she usually asked Bi Baoluo to help collect the homework, and he would definitely be able to notice the clues.
Considering how well he knew Mu Mian, he could probably tell at a glance the intentions that Liang Mianqi put into the painting.
"Here, here's another one, and it depicts the same features of a beautiful girl! Look at the nails on the human body in this painting, they are a bit like the girl's manicure, but it's a simplified version."
"The signature is Liang Nihong."
"So there is a connection between the two victims."
"Are they reminding the female teacher's husband, Bi Baoluo, to protect He Zhiting's marriage?"
"Maybe it's defense, or maybe it's lack of money?"
Several people have speculated, but crucial evidence is still missing.
"The paintings of friendship between Bi Baoluo and this beautiful female student Mu Mian are not included in the current paintings, right?"
I have seen it twice, and there is no painting that makes more sense.
"Is this the only time the two victims have given us a heads-up? What if Bi Paulo didn't notice?"
"More than once, Liang Mianqi drew Mu Mian's teardrop mole on three portraits. Another victim also reminded her several times to ensure that Bi Baoluo could find the clues."
"But there is still something missing..."
For a moment, everyone fell silent, with only the sound of footsteps clearly audible in the office.
There is only one step left, but this step alone cuts off the clue.
Lin Meiqi finished a box of matcha ice cream, and suddenly an idea flashed in her mind. She asked Feng Charlie: "Should we go to the studio to take a look?"
The studio is still sealed off and physical evidence still exists. Some paintings are scattered on the ground in the studio, but the evidence definitely cannot be the paintings painted that day, because the murderer has already taken action, and the motive must have been formed earlier, otherwise he would not have had time to prepare on that day.
However, Lin Meiqi thought that there was still a place in the studio to hide the paintings.
Feng Charlie said, "Okay, I'll take you there."
The two drove quickly to the studio.
After entering the room, Lin Meiqi began to take apart the drawing boards one by one. Of course, she mainly looked at the names and found the drawing board of the female student Mu Mian.
Because the murder happened suddenly and evidence needed to be collected, Mu Mian certainly didn't have time to take the things away.
Should have stayed on the scene.
Lin Meiqi opened Mu Mian's drawing board and found a page inside, which seemed to be sewn by her.
He opened the interlayer and pulled out more than a dozen paintings at once.
When seeing these paintings, although Lin Meiqi had been mentally prepared, she still opened her mouth in surprise. Even Feng Charlie couldn't help coughing twice and turned his face away.
I originally thought it would be a very obscure painting, but who knew...
Maybe they used to have ambiguous ways of expressing their feelings, but later it evolved into such a straightforward expression.
Bi Baoluo stood behind Mu Mian, watching her outline himself stroke by stroke, his tight thighs, strong waist, muscular chest and even his private parts... The female student imagined what he would look like naked.
I have to say that although Bi Baoluo has a rather ordinary face, he has a good figure and he must be exercising regularly at home.
They have a dedicated gym at home, which Lin Meiqi has seen.
But now, she was deeply shaken.
The person Mu Mian drew was indeed the husband of the female boss He Zhiting. Because of the body proportions, it was clearly Bi Baoluo. Lin Meiqi recognized him at the first sight. As a forensic doctor, her ability to distinguish the human body structure was instinctive.
And great painters also have this ability.
So it is hard to say whether they were really together, but at least, they were engaging in a kind of literary love that was conveyed through paintings.
No wonder the female student had to sit in the last row, because after that, no one could see her except Bi Paul who would go around behind her to watch her paint.
Why don’t you hand in your homework? Here's why.
After finishing the painting, Mu Mian did not hand it in. She just showed the painting process to Bi Paulo. Of course, there was also Bi Paulo's response.
The Mu Mian drawn by Bi Baoluo still has the beautiful body as imagined.
When was this painted?
Presumably, when his wife was painting at home, he was also painting in the room. After finishing, he smuggled his painting into the studio and gave it to Mu Mian when He Zhiting turned around to teach or distribute homework.
Bi Baoluo couldn't leave He Zhiting, and had no way to have an affair openly, so he used this method to seek excitement. This was an unspoken secret between the two.
Lin Meiqi put the painting back onto the drawing board with her gloved hands. If one were to identify the handwriting, one would know that it was the work of two people.
Now Bi Baoluo had a very strong motive. Thinking of the contents of those paintings, Lin Meiqi still felt her face blushing and her heart beating fast. She let out a long breath and forcibly suppressed the discomfort in her heart.
"Two witnesses died because of the carelessness of two people? What a pity," she sighed.
"yes!"
Feng Charlie took Lin Meiqi to withdraw the serious crime team, and the painting was sent to the Witness Department for handwriting identification.
After the handwriting results came out, it turned out to be Bi Baoluo and Mu Mian's.
Everyone was very excited.
But soon, they were no longer happy.
"So, Bi Baoluo's motive is quite sufficient. Bi Baoluo first used drawings to express his feelings to the female students, thinking that he could hide it from He Zhiting, but he didn't expect to be discovered by the two students. The students drew again to remind the teacher, "We found your secret." Then, he changed his clothes while going out to buy groceries, so that the nearby bosses would not see him. Bi Baoluo took the risk to find the two students and asked them what they wanted?"
"Maybe he was doing it for the sake of justice, or maybe it was for money. But in any case, Bi Paul definitely had the intention to kill."
"Yeah, this gigolo, if his wife knew he was hooking up with female students outside, he would be left with nothing!"
"This man is nothing!"
"Don't forget the first victim, Liang Mianqi, who was asked for money by her adoptive father. She was just an ordinary worker, how could she come up with so much money? Besides, learning to paint also costs money."
"However, this remains in doubt for the time being. There is no clear evidence that she has ever asked for property."
Charlie Feng made a prompt decision: "Okay, now we have clear evidence of Bi Baoluo's motive for murder. It's time to arrest him. If you have any questions, arrest him and ask him later."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, the case finally turned around.
Soon, two police cars arrived downstairs of Gangli Community, and the police officers went upstairs and knocked on the door.
He Zhiting was at home. She came over in slippers and asked, "Who is it?"
"I'm Charlie Feng from the serious crime squad. I found some new evidence and I want to ask you about it."
"Ah, it's the police officer!"
He Zhiting opened the door and several police officers rushed into the house and searched everywhere, but they could not find any trace of Bi Baoluo.
"Where's your husband?"
A police officer came out of the house with a bottle of "strong rodenticide" in his hand. It was the same poison, and there was physical evidence.
He Zhiting was extremely surprised: "We have always used this kind of rodenticide. Some time ago, my husband insisted on throwing it away. I just bought it. What's going on? It has nothing to do with the murder case!"
"Have you ever thought about why your husband threw away the strong rat poison at home?"
"Don't get me wrong, there are no rats in our house. I always brought this stuff to the studio. There were rats in the sewer of the studio before. Paul threw it away because someone in the studio died of poisoning, and he was afraid of the trouble of the police asking questions. Besides, isn't this kind of rodenticide very common? Many families have it."
"But he has done nothing wrong, so why would he be afraid? Tell me, where is your husband now?"
"He, he went downstairs to buy groceries."
Just as he finished speaking, there was a "click" sound, which was the sound of the key being inserted into the door lock, but the door was not opened.
Feng Charlie soon realized something was wrong because he heard the sound of someone running down the stairs quickly.
Bi Baoluo knew that there were policemen in the room, so he immediately pushed the door open and ran downstairs.
Feng Charlie chased after him.
He has long legs and big steps. Even if Bi Paul works out, he is no match for the sheriff.
After running down a few floors, Charlie Feng pushed him down the stairs and asked, "Why are you running?"
After being handcuffed, Bi Baoluo was taken to the police car, leaving He Zhiting, who looked confused and terrified, slumped on the ground.
"Where is the murderer?"
"Brought him back, and he's being interrogated inside."
"I want to see how this scumbag defends himself."
Lin Meiqi and a police officer sat in front of the surveillance screen, listening to the noise inside.
He Wanyi came over, put her hand on Lin Meiqi's shoulder, and handed her the coffee: "Have some, I see you have a lot of work these two days."
"I have issued two reports to Team B, both of which are testing human hair. The DNA results are out and have been sent up."
"Is everything going well over there?"
"It went smoothly. It's our case. We finally found the suspect."
Bi Baoluo sat in the interrogation room with his head hung.
Feng Charlie placed the paintings between him and Mu Mian in front of him, and took out a bottle of makeup dropper.
"You threw away the powerful rodenticide, but you used this makeup pipette to suck out the poison and put it into the pipette, right? The ingredients of powerful rat poison have been detected in the dropper. All the evidence points to you. Even if you deny it, you can't escape legal sanctions."
Bi Baoluo had been tense for a long time, but when the results from the forensic department came out, he instantly lost his temper.
His face turned pale and he covered his face. "I didn't want to do this either. Who asked them to blackmail me? Liang Mianqi and the others knew my weakness and wanted me to give them more money, but where can I get the money? All my money is with He Zhiting. I'm in a dilemma. And if this matter continues to ferment, they will tell more people, and sooner or later He Zhiting will know about it."
"I have finally been able to live a life like this without any worries about food and clothing. I came from a poor family, and I don't want to go through that again!"
Charlie Feng slammed his palm on the table. "If you had known it would come to this, why did you still have an ambiguous relationship with someone? You are married, and you are the one at fault. If you hadn't been staring at the beautiful female student, how could you have developed such a relationship? And how could it have caused the death of two innocent girls?"
Feng Charlie roared in the interrogation room, and when he thought of the two pitiful girls, he couldn't help but want to beat him up.
…
At this point, we have both witnesses and physical evidence.
The man in black mentioned by Liang Mianqi's boyfriend Hong Zeyu was none other than Bi Baoluo, because the black clothes were found in his home.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the serious crime squad did not have to work overtime for several days.
Lin Meiqi, who goes to get off work and comes home as usual, sees hope.
Tomorrow is the weekend, and I can finally sleep in. The day after tomorrow is the day when the members of the serious crime squad have agreed to go hiking. What is the name of that mountain? Jigongling, it is said that the hiking scenery is very nice!
She returned home not very late that day. She rode her bicycle through the alleys and bought a lot of things. Then she noticed on the way that someone seemed to be following her.
Even among the coming and going of people, she could feel something strange.
But when he turned around suddenly, the man was gone.
Could it be that I have been a little tired recently and my eyes are blurry? Why do I always feel like there's someone behind me?
Lin Meiqi rubbed her eyes and opened them again. The scene in front of her was still bright. Fortunately, there is no sign of becoming nearsighted from reading too much materials.
When she got home, she locked her bicycle downstairs and walked upstairs.
At dinner time, the aroma of food wafting from every household is so tempting.
There is still some of the half pork chop that grandma gave me last time, frozen in the refrigerator. I can take it out and thaw it today to make a sweet and sour pork chop.
