Chaoyang Investigation Bureau!
Inside the project office!
The police officer further explained Liu Guinan's situation:
Five years ago, when he was in vocational school, he was caught stealing his roommate's Apple smartwatch.
At the time, the counselor and the school security personnel, for the sake of the school's reputation, advised the person whose property was stolen to downplay the incident.
Seeing this, Liu Guinan felt emboldened and became quite arrogant.
The student who was robbed was so angry that he was hospitalized and then dropped out of school.
His parents came to the school and insisted on calling the police.
The matter even escalated online, causing considerable public outcry and making things quite ugly.
Liu Guinan only became truly afraid after he was arrested.
Upon hearing that he might go to jail, he immediately apologized, and his parents also actively returned the stolen goods and made restitution.
The victim's family, seeing that Liu Guinan's parents were from the countryside and had a difficult life, ultimately chose to forgive him.
This time, Liu Guinan escaped punishment because it was her first offense and she was granted non-prosecution.
But he was clearly not truly repentant.
In the following years, he was arrested multiple times for theft.
They even committed multiple burglaries.
Initially, it was detention, but later it escalated to criminal penalties.
The longest he was ever imprisoned was over eight months.
"This Liu Guinan probably still can't shake his habit of stealing."
They were used to stealing and getting something for nothing.
"If you make him work hard to earn money again, he won't be able to change."
"In addition, Liu Guinan has no alibi."
His story was the same as that of the former village chief, Shen Bisheng: he said he spent the whole night at home watching videos and playing games.
His parents said they could testify on his behalf.
However, Liu Guinan lived in a side room, while his parents lived in the main room.
They couldn't possibly monitor whether Liu Guinan went out at all times.
"Therefore, he is still a strong suspect."
However, we searched his house but haven't found the missing stolen goods yet.
After the police officer finished his introduction, he thought for a moment and said:
"Team Leader Shen, I've asked the officers to collect Liu Guinan's shoe prints. Could you help me confirm them?"
"Can!"
Shen Ting determined the suspect's age, based on his footprints, to be between thirty and forty years old.
Liu Guinan is twenty-three or twenty-four years old this year.
It's actually a bit smaller compared to others.
However, the formation of footprints is influenced by many factors such as physical condition and rest.
In addition, the suspect was wearing shoe covers, so some details were not so clear.
Moreover, judging a suspect's age by footprints is inherently prone to error.
Therefore, Liu Guinan cannot be completely ruled out as a suspect.
"Through social connections, we've identified only these few suspects so far, right?!"
"That's right, so far only a few of them are confirmed."
"Okay, then conduct further investigation according to what we discussed!"
Shen Ting hung up the phone and gave a brief summary.
There are currently four identified suspects.
Former village chief Shen Bisheng!
My friend Shen Dagang, who has shown me great kindness!
Zhao Weijun, a competitor in the engineering project.
Also, there's Liu Guinan, who has a prior conviction for theft.
Of the four, Shen Dagang and Zhao Weijun's alibis were affirmed by many people, or there was surveillance footage as evidence, making them relatively strong.
Since Shen Dagang and Zhao Huimei were playing cards at the same place, even if he hired someone to injure someone, he couldn't possibly ignore when Zhao Huimei went home.
Simply put, it would alert his accomplice Zhao Huimei to her whereabouts and prepare him for her in advance.
Plus!
There was at most a minor friction between him and Wu Liqun.
Let alone hiring someone to kill someone, even if it were just as Shen Ting analyzed, hiring someone to teach Wu Liqun a lesson, it wouldn't go that far.
therefore!
Shen Dagang not only lacked the opportunity to commit the crime, but his logical chain of events was also insufficient.
Of the four people, he is currently the least suspicious.
Zhao Weijun, on the other hand, also had an alibi.
But someone with a criminal background like him wouldn't personally teach someone a lesson.
We can definitely send our underlings over there!
Therefore, even with an alibi, his suspicion cannot be completely ruled out.
We can track down his underlings' whereabouts later.
The other two suspects are Shen Bisheng, the former village chief, and Liu Guinan, who has a prior theft conviction.
The alibis of both individuals are of relatively low validity.
Although Shen Bisheng's age and the characteristics of the shoe prints at the scene differed considerably.
But the one who actually took action was probably his son, who had been ousted from his position as village chief by Wu Liqun.
And Liu Guinan too!
He hasn't had a proper job for months.
It's possible that Wu Liqun's family sold shrimp yesterday, suggesting he might have been tempted to steal.
"The remaining three are either people who have conflicts with Wu Liqun and want to take revenge on him, or they are after money."
In short, it matches the characteristics of the crime scene quite well.
We hope that further investigation will uncover more clues.
After pondering for a while, the appraisal reports from various departments arrived one after another.
He looked through them one by one.
First is the autopsy report from the forensic office.
Autopsies confirmed that both victims died between 11 p.m. and midnight last night.
Wu Liqun's direct cause of death was severe traumatic brain injury.
The main site of injury was subdural hematoma combined with brainstem injury.
In addition to being struck in the face with a blunt object, Wu Liqun also suffered similar linear contusions on one of his left elbows, one on the outside of his right forearm, and two on the back of his right hand.
Furthermore, the injuries from various places all resulted in noticeable physical reactions.
For example, subcutaneous soft tissue bleeding, inflammatory response, and tissue contraction.
These physical reactions suggest that these four bruises were injuries Wu Liqun suffered during his lifetime.
Forensic experts speculate that the two contusions on the outside of his right forearm and the back of his right hand were defensive injuries sustained when Wu Liqun raised his hand to block the assailant's attack on his head.
