Because they stayed up all night catching people, Xie Ming gave him and Liu Qing a day off so they could get some rest today.
Bai Chi originally planned to accompany Qiao Yunxiao in the afternoon to deal with the matter of being falsely accused, but the unexpected incident involving the murderer forced him to leave first.
When he arrived back at the police station, everyone was already in the conference room. Bai Chi greeted them and joined in.
That's what everyone's discussing today. Some people think Ding Yang is lying.
Ding Yang is the murderer who was caught by Bai Chi last night.
Perhaps he had an accomplice who deliberately left their fingerprints mixed together to mislead the police, or perhaps someone accidentally left their fingerprints and forced the other person to do the same, so that if one of them was betrayed, the other would be implicated and there would be no need to worry about being betrayed.
This kind of thing is not uncommon. When doing something bad, one person does half of it, so that both of them will hide seriously and avoid being falsely accused, allowing the other to successfully escape punishment.
Some people believe Ding Yang's statement is true, since it's really difficult to combine the fingerprints of two people into one hand's fingerprints by one person.
According to Ding Yang, he only intended to steal and did not intend to kill anyone.
But as soon as he sneaked into the room, he smelled a strong stench of blood. He knew something was wrong, but then he thought that a thief never leaves empty-handed, and since the person was gone, there was no need to worry about being discovered.
The deceased were a family of three who were hacked to death with multiple stabs. The scene was horrific. He even found half of a severed hand with only three fingers remaining, still steaming.
It was under these circumstances that Ding Yang thought of the psychopathic killers that often appeared on TV. So he cut off both gloves, took the severed hand, and deliberately left a pair of fingerprints at the crime scene.
Because there was a lot of blood at the scene, and it was splattered everywhere, the bloodstains next to the fingerprints did not arouse much suspicion.
Perhaps for this reason, no one discovered that there was a fourth person's blood at the scene.
However, if the murderer really had half of his hand cut off when he was attacked, how could he have left without leaving any trace?
"I still find it hard to believe. If a severed palm has been there for a long time, there is no metabolism, and it no longer secretes sweat or oil, so it cannot leave fingerprints."
An experienced detective insisted that Ding Yang was one of the murderers, and that he had an accomplice.
"If fingerprints can still be left on the severed hand, it means that it was cut off not long ago, so when Ding Yang sneaked in, the murderer might still be at the scene."
After all, half a palm with only three fingers attached would cool down quickly if it fell to the ground.
"Furthermore, I just carefully reviewed the investigation files, and they did not find any clues similar to bloodstains nearby. If there really was such a person, it would be impossible for him to sever his hand without leaving a trace."
"Moreover, after the incident, the local police carefully reviewed the surveillance footage of the community and nearby streets, and found no suspicious persons. If there really was someone with a severed hand, they would definitely have left clues in the surveillance footage."
Cutting off half of his palm is no simple wound, and he couldn't possibly remain calm and composed as usual.
Finally, the veteran detective tapped the table: "There's one more thing you shouldn't overlook. This is a case from five years ago, not fifteen. The amount of blood loss from a severed hand cannot be ignored, and it's impossible for it to go undetected."
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately realized that the identification techniques from five years ago were not much worse than those of today, so how could they have overlooked such an important clue?
Furthermore, if the deceased fought back and severed half of the murderer's hand, then where was the murder weapon?
Such a sharp murder weapon must not be an ordinary fruit knife; it must at least be a kitchen knife, and it would require the victim to have extremely great strength to easily cut through it.
Such a large murder weapon, whether left behind or taken away, would leave clues.
The criminal investigation team leader, Xie Ming, listened to everyone's discussion with a blank expression. The meeting wasn't just about whether Ding Yang was lying.
It's a process where experienced colleagues pass on their work experience to newcomers, and newcomers offer new ideas and possibilities to experienced colleagues.
Now everyone has clearly been convinced by the veteran detective that Ding Yang deliberately fabricated the story of 'half a hand' in order to exonerate himself or protect someone else.
After everyone had finished speaking, Xie Ming looked at Bai Chi, who was sitting in the corner and had arrived last.
"Xiao Chi, you're the one who found and captured him. What do you think?"
Suddenly called upon, Bai Chi, who had been listening intently, was taken aback for a moment before obediently standing up.
"Captain Xie, I think everyone's points are very valid, and I don't have any ideas for the moment. However, may I interrogate Ding Yang myself?"
Although he was the one who captured the person, he hadn't actually spoken a single word to Ding Yang. He simply grabbed the person, gagged him, and threw him into the toilet.
However, Bai Chi was absolutely certain of one thing: Ding Yang had definitely committed a crime before. Otherwise, he wouldn't have attacked the original owner so swiftly and decisively by stabbing him from behind the door after the original owner discovered him. It was so clean, efficient, and ruthless, showing that he was very experienced!
“Okay, you can go with Liu Qing in a bit. She’s on her way.”
Xie Ming then turned to the others and said, "Alright, everyone disperse for now. Although we caught Ding Yang, his case is in another city. In the end, we can't do anything about this case for the time being."
They're having this meeting simply because Ding Yang's reasons are so bizarre, and since they've just finished dealing with the burglary case, they're just taking the opportunity to discuss it.
Oh right, Xie Youshu's act of drugging Xie Youshu escalated the burglary into a robbery.
Liu Qing arrived quickly, looking refreshed and clearly having had a good rest.
Seeing Bai Chi, he greeted him with a smile: "Good afternoon, Bai Chi. What's wrong? Didn't Young Master Qiao come with you?"
After saying that, he deliberately exaggeratedly looked around Bai Chi, as if he was really looking for someone.
Other colleagues immediately became interested: "Young Master Qiao? What Young Master Qiao? Is he the second young master of the Qiao Corporation? He was trending on social media this morning too."
"Yes, this is the first time I've seen such a pitiful rich kid, being slandered by his own father. Even if someone has Alzheimer's, I've almost never seen someone hate their son so much."
"By the way, Bai Chi, I heard you're on good terms with that young master Qiao. Brother Zhang said he kept bothering you last night. Could it be that he's taken a liking to you?"
Brother Zhang was another colleague who went undercover at the bar with them last night. Apparently, he saw Qiao Yunxiao sticking to Bai Chi at the bar.
"Bai Chi, you're young, don't be fooled. Although it's said that Young Master Qiao is very virtuous, who knows what he's like in private? Even if this kind of rich second-generation is really promiscuous, he certainly won't do it in the open."
