Chapter 3 The Second Suspect
Lu Bai's burning gaze fell on Li Ziyu.
Maybe this genius can give her an unexpected surprise?
However, what was waiting for her was Li Ziyu's long-planned move.
This kick landed accurately on Lu Bai's calf.
Lu Bai stumbled and was forced to let go of his hand.
Hey! She really did it!
Li Ziyu pulled out a wet towel from his pocket and wiped his hands carefully. "Zhang Hai, take your captain to check his brain when you have time."
After saying that, she walked out the door without looking back.
Lu Bai put her hands on her hips. She was somewhat curious about Li Ziyu.
"Captain...are you okay?" Zhang Hai shrank timidly and tapped his head with his finger, "How about..."
"Take this vase back for testing!"
Lu Bai took off his gloves, slammed them into Zhang Hai's arms, and strode towards Li Ziyu.
"It's raining outside, come with me." Lu Bailei opened the car door and said, "Go in."
The black Passat drove towards the police station, breaking through the rain and mist. In Lu Bai's mind, all he could think about was what Li Ziyu had just said.
There's no sign of the fifth person... Now things are getting interesting...
What does she mean?
The car stopped steadily at the police station, and two people walked into the door of the Criminal Police Team one after the other.
The technician greeted Lu Bai, "Team Lu."
He shifted his gaze to Li Ziyu who was standing behind her. "Hey, Consultant Li."
Li Ziyu nodded slightly.
Other members of the criminal police team also stood in front of the meeting table with materials in their hands.
Lu Bai waved his hand and motioned for everyone to sit down.
She pulled out the stool beside her and said, "Sit here."
Li Ziyu raised her eyebrows slightly, but didn't say much. She sat next to Lu Bai.
The technician connected the computer and played the organized video material. "This is the restored surveillance video. Starting from here, you can clearly see a car driving into the garage of the Li family villa."
The surveillance camera paused at a certain point in the picture, which showed a black Mercedes-Benz. Due to the surveillance angle, only half of the license plate was visible.
Lu Bai turned around and asked Li Ziyu, "Do you recognize this car?"
Li Ziyu responded, "This is their car."
Lu Bai's eyes fell on the trainee police officer sitting at the end. "Did you get any results from the interpersonal relationships I asked you to screen?"
The trainee police officer stood up with a serious look on his face. "I found out, Mr. Li, you have a younger brother in Wuzhou, but none of your other relatives are in Wuzhou."
"Mother Li has no relatives in Wuzhou. According to investigations, she would go back to her hometown for a period of time every month to visit her parents..."
"That's enough." Li Ziyu interrupted her, "If you have sufficient alibi, there's no need to say anything."
She took the file bag in front of Lu Bai and looked through it as if no one was around.
Someone muttered nearby, "Team Lu, isn't she... still a suspect?"
Li Ziyu glanced at the man and said, "The report shows that the time of death was three days ago. The surveillance also showed that they drove into the parking lot one day ago, which was the early morning of the day before you took me back to the police station."
She didn't say anything further, and she was too lazy to say anything more.
Lu Bai took over her words, "The time of death and the time when the victim appeared alive in the surveillance do not match."
Another person questioned, "That doesn't mean that Consultant Li is not a suspect, right?"
Li Ziyu snorted coldly, his tone was contemptuous, "You want this kind of person too?"
Lu Bai held his head with one hand, rubbing his brow helplessly, "We did a drug test when we captured her, and now the report is out, right in front of you."
"She took a sufficient amount of sleeping pills, and there were still drug residues in her body when she was at the police station, so it is impossible for her to be awake and kill someone during this period of time."
Li Ziyu's suspicion was also completely cleared from the side.
Rather than this, we should now find out what exactly could have faked a murder scene where someone had been dead for three days.
If the victim was really driving the car, it would not match the time of death at all.
Li Ziyu looked at the report from the laboratory intently, and his right index finger slid across the tip of his nose habitually.
She murmured to herself, "In autumn, the network of corrosive blood vessels appears in 48-72 hours. If we count from the time the vehicle enters the villa, as long as the temperature and humidity are high enough, the speed of corrosion can be accelerated."
Having said that, Lu Bai also understood what she meant.
"Are you trying to say that someone faked the decay process of the corpse?" Lu Bai knocked on the table. "Forensic Doctor Liu."
A man who looked to be in his early thirties, wearing a white coat and a blue shirt underneath.
Forensic Doctor Liu thought for a moment and said, "According to Consultant Li's speculation, if the temperature and humidity are really within a certain controllable range, it can indeed accelerate the decomposition of the corpse and interfere with the determination of the time of death."
"Decomposition is the result of the digestion of decay by microorganisms. In nature, especially on corpses, there are a large number of necrophilic microorganisms, which create conditions suitable for the survival of microorganisms. The number of microorganisms increases exponentially."
He shook his head again, then nodded.
The man went on to say, "It's mainly about temperature. The higher the temperature, the faster it will rot. Around 30 degrees is best. At the right humidity, the body itself contains 70% water, which is suitable for the growth of microorganisms."
A hint of joy flashed across Li Ziyu's cold eyes.
You see, there are still smart people here!
She nudged Lu Bai, who was still trying to digest the professional terms used by Forensic Doctor Liu, and asked, "Why are you standing there?"
Lu Bai fought with real guns and nearly lost her life several times to get to the position of captain. She was a little embarrassed and cleared her coughs as she had no idea about these things.
Lu Bai ordered the two police officers beside him, "Then you two, take someone to check the electricity usage in the villa."
"yes."
Lu Bai looked around, "Where's Zhang Hai?"
"I'm here." Zhang Hai was also holding a report in his hand and walked out of the door.
Li Ziyu took the report from Zhang Hai first.
Lu Bai's hands were suspended in the air, and she touched her back teeth with the tip of her tongue, "You are so natural."
As if she, the captain, is nothing?!
"Do you understand?" Li Ziyu's lips seemed to be filled with poison.
"I am an old detective after all!"
"Um."
"......"
Lu Bai felt as powerless as if he was punching cotton.
After these few contacts, she had come to understand Li Ziyu's personality.
Li Ziyu is a person who is somewhat arrogant. She doesn't like to talk nonsense with others and is too lazy to explain the details of some cases.
This may be why people in the police force find her difficult to get along with.
Lu Bai unconsciously raised the corners of her lips. She could hear Li Ziyu's thoughts now. Wasn't this a perfect solution to the problem?
Thinking of this, she reached out her hand to Li Ziyu's shoulder again.
Lu Bai hooked one hand around Li Ziyu's shoulders and pressed half of his body on her back, while with the other hand he was flipping through the report in Li Ziyu's hand.
[There is a fingerprint on the inside of the vase. Ah! What is she doing?]
Li Ziyu's heart suddenly started beating fast. She clenched the report in her hand and said, "Captain Lu, do we have to read it this way?"
"Is it not good?" Lu Bai blinked, "Look."
Li Ziyu was so flustered for a moment that she forgot to take Lu Bai's hand away.
[What did I see? Ah... fingerprints, the fingerprints are Li Ziyue's, there is no Luminol reaction. ]
She narrowed her eyes.
[No crime is perfect. If there is really no clue at all, then the answer is the most unbelievable one.]
"If this speculation is true, there is no trace of the fifth person at the scene..." Li Ziyu murmured.
"The murderer is the deceased?"
"The murderer is the deceased."
