That's why I made up my mind to do it myself.
Jigsaw: "That's possible."
Many suspects commit crimes, like a snowball rolling downhill.
It started as petty theft, but gradually he abandoned his principles and eventually went down a path of no return.
Hannibal's deduction is consistent with typical modus operandi.
Kiko: "But this direction isn't easy to investigate!"
The last time I saw the motorcycle break down was three weeks ago.
The surveillance footage from Wu Liqun's home can only be stored for ten days. Even if someone tampered with it, the footage would probably be overwritten.
That's not easy to find out!
→_→”
Shen Ting thought for a moment and said, "How about this?"
I'll have someone check where Wu Liqun repairs motorcycles.
Perhaps the repairmen can provide a clue.
After confirming with the group members that no one else had made any further discoveries, Shen Ting left the case-solving group.
He contacted Zheng Yuanqiao directly:
"Team Leader Zheng, you're still in Shenjia Village, right?"
I have two directions for investigation here; please send someone to check them out.
One of them is a villager in Shenjia Village who has some problems.
I'll send you the video later. You can find someone in the village and ask him about his identity.
On the evening of the day of the incident, he walked past the river near the village chief's house with two other people. I noticed that their expressions seemed off.
Furthermore, I read in the investigation report that the engine of the deceased Wu Liqun's motorcycle had broken down three times in the previous three months.
I feel something is suspicious. Do you think you can talk to Wu Liqun's parents and ask them for more details?
Try contacting engine mechanics again; see if they can provide any special clues.
"Investigate the three passersby, and note the engine damage. Okay, I understand. Get someone to handle it immediately."
Zheng Yuanqiao replied.
After hanging up the phone, Shen Ting sent the surveillance video that Guan Hongfeng had found to Zheng Yuanqiao.
All that's left to do is wait for the investigation results.
More than ten minutes later, the first person to call Shen Ting was Director Guan Guandu.
What he reported was the identities of the four maintenance workers from Zhao Weijun's engineering team.
"Team Leader Shen, the four repairmen you asked me to investigate should be identified without any issues."
Zhao Weijun's engineering team, the ones responsible for maintenance, were indeed the four of them.
There should be no possibility of substitution.
We found a video of four people repairing equipment in the construction site's surveillance footage.
The fingerprints of the four individuals were also detected on the repair tools.
However, neither of them had an alibi.
They all went home on the night of the incident.
These maintenance workers are usually not on the construction site at night.
Shen Ting nodded:
"Furthermore, if the shoe print characteristics don't match, the possibility of the suspect being one of these four people is very low."
However, on construction sites, the people operating the machinery may have oil stains on their clothes and may also come into contact with wrenches.
Are there any highly suspicious individuals among these people?
"No findings at the moment!"
Guan Guan hesitated and said:
"We had already collected most of the shoe prints of these people."
Team Leader Shen, which group do you think has the most similar shoe prints?
I've already thoroughly checked it!
Some have clear alibis.
Even without an alibi, there were no clues that would strengthen their suspicion.
It might be difficult to investigate further.
The situation is basically the same for Shen Bisheng's son, the former village chief, and Liu Guinan, who has a criminal record.
There are not enough leads to confirm that they are suspects.
However, there is insufficient evidence to suggest that they have absolutely no connection to the case.
"Team Leader Shen, you know that in cases like these with many people involved, most of the high-suspicious suspects remain in this state until the case is solved."
Shen Ting nodded.
Innocent and suspected are two extremes.
Most of the people involved in the case are actually somewhere in between these two states.
To break the balance and identify the real suspects from among these people, a breakthrough in evidence is usually required.
"Director Guan, you can go ahead and take care of your work!"
You don't need to rush!
As for Captain Zheng, I've given him two new directions for the investigation; they might hold a pleasant surprise.
A new direction?
What new direction?
Guan Guan was very curious.
In the initial stages of a case investigation, the most common directions naturally emerge.
In the later stages, as some leads are investigated and the investigation concludes, it becomes increasingly difficult to find a direction for the investigation.
Shen Ting discussed two potential avenues with him, and Guan Guandu felt that he no longer needed so many people, so he suggested sending someone to investigate the motorcycle repair area.
Shen Ting readily agreed.
After hanging up the phone, Shen Ting fell silent again.
The dim light of dusk shone in through the window.
Shen Ting looked at the empty office and sighed:
"It was really fun when Xiong Beibei and Sister Xu were around!"
After sighing, Shen Ting reconsidered the case.
About an hour and a half later, Zheng Yuanqiao called again.
His voice was filled with obvious excitement:
"Shen Ting, good news."
The villager from Shenjia Village you just asked me to investigate does indeed have problems…
