After Du Zhun and Li Jihui reported Wei Xiwen's interrogation, they were about to leave Tan Yi's office when Fu Da came back.

He drank the water in the paper cup, "We found the witness, but it doesn't make much difference whether he is there or not."

Du Zhun asked, "What's the situation? It's dark and we can't see clearly."

Fu Da handed the cup to Li Ji, "Put another one for me. I've been running all morning, my lips are worn out, and I'm thirsty."

Li Ji left quickly.

Fu Da sat down on the chair, took the cigarette handed to him by Tan Yi, lit it, and took a deep breath...

"The car accident happened at 5:10. Old man Liu, who lived in Room 301, Unit 1, Building 1, on the edge of the community, woke up early. He heard a "bang" on the road and opened the window to see what was happening. His window was heavy and he couldn't open it with a little force. But with more force, it made a "bang" sound. As soon as he made this noise, the cars on the road accelerated and drove away. Old man Liu said that he didn't think much about it at the time. Because the car hit the trash can, he didn't care about it. Well, if he went down to check, maybe he wouldn't have died. "

Du Zhun said: "Chen Zhicheng is corrupt, and the cashier should be an insider. The two of them are in the same nest, and it is estimated that they have embezzled a lot. Even if Cao Lushi was not killed by him, once the Detective Brigade intervened, he would have to kill Guan Wei to protect himself. Arrest him, Captain Tan."

Tan Yi looked at Fu Da.

Fu Da finished his second glass of water. "I agree with Lao Du. No matter what, Director Chen is the biggest suspect. There is nothing wrong with asking him to go back to the bureau to cooperate with the investigation. Captain Tan, let's go through the

formalities." Tan Yi played with his lighter. "Have you ever thought about this? The murderer was afraid that Cao Lushi would die too slowly, so he suffocated him with a plastic bag at the risk of exposing his secretions. But it was different with Sha Guanwei. The driver was scared away by the sound of opening a window. Why?"

Li Ji opened his mouth . "I have been thinking about this question too. Does he not care whether Guan Wei is really dead or not and just wants to put the blame on Chen Zhicheng?"

Tan Yi smiled appreciatively. "Very good, I think so too. Someone deliberately drew our attention to Chen Zhicheng. Even if Guan Wei survived, she might suspect Chen Zhicheng of murdering someone to silence her and then confess. This should be exactly what the mastermind wants. Why wouldn't he do it?"

"That makes sense." Fu Da pressed the butt of his cigarette. "What should we do next?"

Tan Yi said, "There won't be many people who want to get Chen Zhicheng. First, ask a few deputy factory directors to come back to assist in the investigation. I will contact the economic investigation team immediately."

...

On the issue of whether to perform an autopsy, Xie Qing and her family explained for more than an hour - although the cause of death was clear, this was a criminal case after all. It was the basic duty of the forensic doctor to dissect the body and find the direct cause of death.

When she and Li Ke rushed to the autopsy room, Cao Haisheng had already arrived.

The master and apprentice, one dissected and the other recorded, and they sewed the body together before twelve o'clock.

Guan Wei's injury was a typical triple collision injury plus a crushing injury.

First, there were horizontal band-like skin exfoliation marks on her legs, subcutaneous bleeding, and a fractured weight-bearing leg.

Second, there were bruises and abrasions on her back, contusions and subcutaneous hematomas on the top of her head, back of the head, shoulders and other protruding parts, and multiple micro-contusions and lacerations on her scalp.

Third, her sternum was severely fractured, and her dirty hand was ruptured and bleeding.

The dirty hand injury was the direct cause of death.

After taking a taxi back to Fengshan District, the three of them had lunch at a small restaurant near the Municipal Bureau.

After coming out of the restaurant, Xie Qing asked Li Ke, "Are you okay? You didn't eat much."

"Come on, don't mention it again." Li Ke covered his chest, "When I have money, I will buy a car."

"You kid." Cao Haisheng smiled helplessly, "In traffic accidents, there are just as many people who drive and die, and the deaths are just as terrible."

Li Ke thought for a moment and said self-deprecatingly, "It seems that I was really scared today. I started talking nonsense."

Xie Qing said, "This is not the scariest thing. If you saw..."

"Don't say that anymore." Li Ke grabbed her hand, "Luckily I'm not a traffic policeman."

Cao Haisheng said, "When I started studying forensic medicine, I couldn't eat well for a month, but I've been doing it for so many years. So, as long as you believe in yourself enough, you will get used to it one day."

Li Ke's eyebrows wrinkled together, she rubbed her cheeks, "No, no, self-mutilation is not advisable, this kind of job has enough of you."

Speaking of this , she quickly changed the subject, "I have met Director Chen, the age difference between the two is at least twenty years, and he doesn't look that good, like a big fat cardboard box. It's not worth it for Guan Wei to follow such a thing for money."

Cao Haisheng said: "Her values ​​are different from ours. If she hadn't been in trouble, and you talked to her about the same topic, she might still advise you not to go against money and future."

This was too insightful.

Xie Qing believed it deeply, "You can't feel the pain unless the knife is on your neck."

...

When the three of them walked to the gate of the Municipal Bureau, several police cars happened to drive out.

Xie Qing seemed to see Fu Da, so he took out his mobile phone and called the Second Brigade.

"Xiao Xie?"

"It's me, Brother Ren. Has the traffic police found the vehicle that caused the accident?"

"No phone call, so there must be no news."

"Any progress on the case?" "

Chen Zhicheng admitted that he had a date with Guan Wei last night. The hotel staff confirmed that Guan Wei left the hotel at 4:30 in the morning."

"Which hotel?"

"The Ruyi Hotel opposite the Marriott."

"Okay, thank you Brother Ren."

...

Xie Qing put the cell phone back into her backpack.

Cao Haisheng said, "Tell me, if you were the murderer, would you be waiting near the community, or following them all the way from the Marriott?"

Li Ke said without hesitation, "Of course I was following them.

" Xie Qing said, "I was following them too."

Xie Qing nodded, "I remember there was a surveillance route at the entrance of the Marriott. If the traffic police couldn't find it, it means the murderer knew about the situation. Then, would other sanitation workers see such a car?"

Cao Haisheng said, "Even if sanitation workers saw it, I'm afraid no one would pay attention to the license plate of a Santana."

Li Ke clapped his hands, "Yes, Section Chief Cao has more life experience."

The three of them entered the office building and separated on the second floor. Xie Qing had just returned to the office when she received a call from Li Ke.

"Qingqing, the traffic police found the abandoned vehicle involved in the accident on the national highway leading to Wuling County. The car belonged to the leader of the meat processing factory. It was lost three days ago and the case has been registered at the grassroots police station."

"Has the taxi driver been found?"

"Found it. The driver said that Guan Wei asked him to park the car on the main road and she walked in by herself. He drove away along the main road and knew nothing about the car accident. She didn't even dare to let the taxi drive to her doorstep. She knew what she was doing was shameful, but she still had to do it. Sigh... Never mind, why should I sympathize with her? As my mother said, she's asking for trouble and no one can stop her."

...

After hanging up Li Ke's call, Xie Qing's mobile phone rang again.

The caller was Xie Yun, who asked Xie Qing if she had time in the evening. She was a forensic doctor, and investigation and interviews were the job of the criminal police, so she accepted the invitation and prepared to go home in the evening.

...

At this time, Tan Yi also put down the phone, left the office, went upstairs, and knocked on the door of the deputy detachment chief.

Lu Qiyuan was also there. "Chen Zhicheng just turned himself in to the Economic Investigation Detachment. He said that he embezzled public funds at the beginning of the year and lost all his money in stock investments, losing 1.12 million. However, the deaths of Cao Lushi and Guan Wei had nothing to do with him, otherwise he would not have turned himself in. Someone must have framed him."

Tan Yi asked, "Does he have a protective umbrella?"

Lu Qiyuan said, "No. If he did, he wouldn't be unable to pay back the 1.12 million. The reason he turned himself in was because he had nowhere else to turn himself in."

Huang Zhenyi nodded. "In his circle, 1.12 million should not be a large number, but human life is at stake, and it is human nature for monkeys to scatter when the tree falls."

Tan Yi seemed to be thoughtful. "It's only 1.12 million."

Isn't it too much of a price to pay to attract the attention of the police and send Chen Zhicheng to jail for such a small amount of money?

Was the murderer insane, or was the amount of money behind it even greater?

Lu Qiyuan lit a cigarette, "One million and one hundred and twenty thousand, based on the salary of our policemen, we may not be able to save it in a lifetime, but he lost it all in one stock speculation. This kind of black sheep must be eliminated as soon as possible."

There is some truth in this.

Tan Yi reflected on himself. This is in Anhai, not in Beijing. More than one million is indeed a lot.

He said, "If the murderer takes down Chen Zhicheng, then other deputy factory directors may have a chance to be promoted. Next we will see who will be the biggest beneficiary. I asked Fu Da to invite a few deputy factory directors here. Do you two leaders want to talk to them?"

Huang Zhenyi hesitated for a moment and said, "You should come in person. Only by personally contacting them can you have the most intuitive feeling."

Tan Yi said, "Okay, Captain Huang."

Lu Qiyuan instructed, "Pay attention to your attitude when you ask questions. Don't let anyone complain about us."

"Okay, Captain Lu." Tan Yi agreed and left the office.

Huang Zhenyi picked up a pen, "They used a butcher knife to kill a chicken, this is the most bizarre part of the whole case."

Lu Qiyuan said, "If there are people from the SQN case involved, this seemingly simple case will be full of difficulties. You should pay more attention to it and give these young players some direction."

Huang Zhenyi smiled slightly. The Yangtze River's waves behind push the waves ahead. He, the wave ahead, has been beaten to the beach by the two waves behind, Tan Yi and Xie Qing.

...

Liang Wenyuan, the deputy director of the machinery factory, arrived, and Tan Yi went to the inquiry room.

He is a middle-aged man with a gentle appearance and a slender figure, with a pair of shrewd eyes hidden behind gold-rimmed glasses.

"Hello, Captain Tan."

"Hello."

The two exchanged a brief greeting and sat down at a table across from each other.

Tan Yi handed him a cigarette and said, "I called Director Liang here today to ask about the economic situation of the machinery factory. Please give me some advice."

"Thank you, Captain Tan." Liang Wenyuan made a gesture of refusal, "I don't mean to say that. I never smoke."

Tan Yi put the cigarette back into the box and stopped smoking.

He asked, "As far as you know, how is the economic situation of the machinery factory?"

"We don't have many competitors, our products are of good quality, sales have been good, and funds have always been in a virtuous cycle. However..." Liang Wenyuan lowered his head, looked at the pen in Tan Yi's hand and said, "Director Liu proposed last Monday to introduce production equipment and expand recycling."

"In theory, if funds permit, this proposal is very reasonable and in line with the long-term interests of the machinery factory, but Director Chen vetoed it. He said that the current production scale of the machinery factory can fully meet market demand and there is no need to spend money in vain."

"But as far as I know, the market share of Fuguang Machinery Factory is not too high. Director Liu's proposal is very reasonable, and several of our deputy directors also agree. But Director Chen just disagrees, which makes me suspect that there is a problem with our factory's working capital."

Tan Yi said: "Director Chen has already surrendered himself. He embezzled more than one million yuan of public funds."

"More than one million yuan." Liang Wenyuan repeated expressionlessly, "It turned out to be the case."

He did not comment on the number, indicating that he might have reservations.

Tan Yi asked, "Do you think this is all the working capital of the machinery factory?"

Liang Wenyuan smiled and shook his head, "Captain Tan, I am in charge of production, which has nothing to do with finances. You should ask Director Chen and Director Liu who is in charge of sales. They know better."

Tan Yi raised his eyebrows, "Director Liang, if Director Chen steps down, who among you has the best chance of taking over?"

Liang Wenyuan gave him a stern look, "Sorry, I have never thought about this question. This is... It is useless to think too much about the decision made by the higher-ups."

Tan Yi said again, "How is your relationship with Director Chen?"

Liang Wenyuan sat up straight, "It is a normal relationship between superiors and subordinates, no hatred or resentment. When Cao Lushi got into trouble, I was having a barbecue with my friends, and when Guan Wei got into trouble, I was sleeping at home. Captain Tan, do you have anything else to ask?"

Tan Yi stood up, "Thank you Director Liang for your cooperation."
