Chapter 28 The Disappearing Weapon
Shan Qijie pulled over the plate with the lamb leg, and in front of Li Ziyu, he picked up the whole leg and started to chew it.
While chewing on it, he said, "I bought this with my last money today. If you don't want to eat it, I will...I will eat it."
As he spoke, his shoulders trembled and tears as big as beans flowed down his cheeks and fell onto the table.
He said in a trembling voice, "I have nothing left. If you want to find my wife, go find her yourself. She may have already run away. I am also getting a divorce from her."
"I owed a lot of money and she didn't want to be with me anymore."
The man said this with tears in his eyes.
But the looks of Lu Bai and Li Ziyu only grew more serious.
[He is trying to disturb me. He is smarter and better at pretending than Wang Kaixuan.]
[If his wife wanted to run away, she would have done so long ago. Why would he wait for the police to find her before coming back here?]
【When a road reaches a dead end, perhaps finding another way is the only way out. 】
Lu Bai stood up, took Li Ziyu's hand and protected her behind him, "We can just take a look around, do you mind?"
Shan Qijie wiped his tears and nodded slightly.
Lu Bai glanced at the mobile phone in his other hand, on which a message was sent.
Zhang Hai: The people have arrived and are outside.
Lu Bai nodded to Li Ziyu, and the two of them strode towards the room they had been suspicious of for a long time.
The room was on the second floor, and Lu Bai's hand was always holding Li Ziyu.
[Wait, wait, wait, she's distracting me from the investigation... Captain Deer's hands are so warm...]
Lu Bai's hand did not loosen, but held it even tighter.
[She feels so safe. ]
Lu Bai stood in front of the door, her voice was unusually gentle, "Are you ready?"
Li Ziyu's mind went blank and she nodded woodenly.
Lu Bai saw with his peripheral vision that the man was running towards them in a hurry.
The corners of her mouth curled up.
How could she, a dignified lady like Lu Bai, not be able to find your flaws?
Lu Bai raised his leg and kicked open the locked door.
The expected scene appeared before the two of them.
It was a woman with a broken head and blood all over her body. She lay quietly in a pool of blood, her eyes filled with fear and disbelief as she looked in one direction.
Presumably, that was the murderer, who raised the weapon and smashed it towards her head.
Lu Bai glanced sideways at the man on the stairs, "Zhang Hai is really a crow-mouthed man."
Zhang Hai: Without a body, what is Forensic Doctor Liu doing here?
Isn't it coming?
A cordon was quickly set up outside the factory, and Shan Qijie was taken back to the police station along with the body.
Before Lu Bai left, Liu Zhengfeng told her that the deceased was beaten to death with a blunt weapon.
But there was no object at the scene that matched the shape of the wound on the deceased's head.
In other words, the murder weapon disappeared.
Crucial evidence disappeared.
Inside the interrogation room.
The man sat quietly in the chair, as if everything was within his expectations.
There was no longer any panic at all.
Li Ziyu leaned back in her chair, interlaced her fingers, and spoke first, "You killed your wife, why?"
The man did not deny this, but he also did not admit it.
He just revealed one thing to them.
He said, "She killed her sister Zhang Jin."
Li Ziyu and Lu Bai looked at each other. It seemed that the two cases were intricately related.
Lu Bai said in a deep voice, "How do you know? Do you have any evidence?"
The man pointed to an evidence bag on the table, which contained his cell phone. "There's an encrypted album in it. I took photos of her going to Zhang Jin's house. You can compare the time."
His cell phone had been cracked, and the contents of the album had naturally been compared long ago.
Lu Bai picked up the evidence bag and clicked on the video. "Did you take this video?"
The man nodded.
"Why did you take this video?"
"She told me she was going to kill that BZ, so I followed her."
"Then why didn't you call the police at that time?"
"Because she wants to divorce me. It is said that husband and wife are birds of the same forest, but they fly away separately when disaster strikes. I don't want her to get her wish, so I want to get this evidence."
Used as a threat.
After some questioning, Lu Bai couldn't find any fault with him, but he kept digressing to the subject of his wife's death.
However, what he said was an important clue about the Zhang Jin case, so he had to be allowed to speak.
Li Ziyu was not in a hurry at all. Since he was willing to talk, he would just do it one thing at a time.
She closed the notebook in her hand and looked directly at the man. "Then do you know what the conflict was between your wife and Zhang Jin? Why did she say she wanted to kill her?"
The man shrugged, "Then you should ask them both."
Both of them are dead, so there is no evidence.
Li Ziyu closed his eyes, "Do you think you are smart?"
He remained silent.
Li Ziyu stood up and said, "People died in your factory. There was no one else but you. Do you think you can take advantage of the situation just because the murder weapon is gone?"
She chuckled, turned around and opened the door. "Times are changing. As long as the chain of evidence is complete, you can be convicted even if you don't say a word."
But the most important thing in the chain of evidence is indeed missing.
The time, place, perpetrator, method, and result of the crime, and only when all reasonable doubts are eliminated, can it be called a complete chain of evidence.
Li Ziyu sat in the office for a long time. She was silent and thought over and over again about all the details that she would overlook.
I rehearse it over and over in my mind, only to have it denied.
Lu Bai saw it all, but at this moment, there was nothing she could do to help Li Ziyu except to get witnesses.
She applied to the director to merge the cases, but the director did not agree because the traces at the scene were inconsistent and the murderers did not look similar.
Zhang Hai brought news about Zhang Jin's mother. "We found out that her mother had been living in the countryside, but we went to check and found no one there. She must have been moved."
"There is no high-speed train out of the city. According to the flight information, it should be driven. We are investigating as soon as possible."
The current taxi-hailing platforms are so developed that checking them is a huge task and requires sufficient time.
However, the time left for them is not much.
Li Ziyu slammed the table and stood up. From a third party's perspective, nothing can be seen.
Then become a madman and look at everything from the murderer's perspective.
She looked at Lu Bai and said, "Go back to the factory."
She was going to do a reenactment.
The setting sun shone into the seemingly desolate factory, and the white cordon was coated with a layer of orange light.
Li Ziyu stood at the door of the crime scene. She said, "I am Zhang Jin, and you are Shan Qijie."
Lu Bai straightened her coat and nodded, "Now, what scenario should we assume?"
Li Ziyu took a deep breath, "Do you remember Shan Qijie said that he used his last money to buy a leg of lamb today?"
