In the next few days, Team B did not receive any new cases.
It is rare for the world to be peaceful, and everyone cherishes it. Fang Zhenyue retrieved some old cases, analyzing the logic of the old detectives' investigations recorded in the old case files, and checking for omissions based on the current new technology.
Jiayi took notes seriously every day, learning the thinking of the old detectives in charge of the unsolved cases, and also learning Fang Sir's thinking based on Fang Zhenyue's comments on the logic of the old detectives.
After a few days, plus the notes taken when reading the case reports of outstanding predecessors in Sister Yin's office, the content recorded in the small notebook quickly became rich.
The day before the weekend, the old unsolved case that everyone took on was finally solved.
This time, the advanced science of the Forensic Science Department and the Forensic Medical Department did not work, but the detectives' tireless and serious interviews played a key role.
When the whole team visited the homes of the deceased's co-workers more than ten years ago, Fang Zhenyue took Jiayi to visit one of the co-workers who worked in the same group as the deceased. During
the interview, they accidentally learned that there was a co-worker who often borrowed money from everyone. Today, he would lend you 100 yuan, and return it to you tomorrow. The day after tomorrow, he would borrow another 100 yuan and return it the day after tomorrow.
The worker who was interviewed shared the gossip with the detectives, saying that they later learned at a workers' gathering that the worker who borrowed money originally borrowed money from A to pay back B, then borrowed money from C to pay back A, then borrowed money from D to pay back C, and then borrowed money from A to pay back D...
This kind of borrowing from Peter to pay Paul continued for a long time, making it look like a financial loan.
However, it seemed that the more he borrowed, the more people were reluctant to lend. They didn't know what bad habits this worker had and why he was so short of money.
Fang Zhenyue and Jiayi caught this gossip and smelled something wrong.
As a result, in the subsequent interviews and evidence collection process, they paid special attention to this worker who liked to borrow money, and found that many people had indeed lent money to that person.
At last, after the confessions were integrated, it was discovered that before the death of the deceased, it seemed that the "loan master" had borrowed money from the deceased, but the deceased refused.
Following this line, it took two days to finally find the "loan master". Fang Zhenyue cooperated with Jiayi and Sanfu, and the murderer confessed quickly after the interrogation and intimidation.
The case was solved, and Fang Zhenyue entered the murderer's fingerprint into the fingerprint database of the Hong Kong Police Station.
The next day, the fingerprint expert actually matched this newly entered fingerprint to another old case - the deceased was an old man in the countryside, who never married and lived alone until old age. Moreover, the place where the murder occurred was far away from the murderer's living area. If it weren't for the fingerprint match, it would be really difficult to link these two people together.
After reading all the files on this case, Fang Zhenyue led the team to conduct a second round of interrogation against the murderer. The murderer was no match for the detective's meticulous serial questioning, and he confessed in less than half an hour.
When asked about the motive for the murder, the murderer said hesitantly that when he killed the old man, he was still young and had just left home to work outside. He had no money in his pocket and hadn't eaten meat for a long time. He
went to the next village at night, wanting to steal a chicken or a duck to roast at home, but he met the old man stewing a chicken at home alone.
He smelled the fragrance of the chicken, jumped into the yard, killed the old man, and left after eating the stewed chicken.
This was the first time the murderer killed someone. He didn't clean up after eating chicken. He was really scared when he got home, but since the police didn't come to his house, he didn't care much about it.
Later, he went to the city to work and lived a normal life. He just had one more hobby than others, which was horse racing, and he always lost.
The reason why he killed his co-worker was that he failed to borrow money, so he suddenly got the urge to kill.
It was the second time he killed someone. He didn't clean up much. He just wiped his fingerprints and did what he had to do. Because he thought the police would not be able to catch him like before, when the detective questioned him more than ten years ago, his performance was impeccable and there was no inappropriate emotion. At that time, due to multiple complex reasons such as backward handling methods and unclear motives for murder, he escaped again.
On weekends, Yi Ji takes a day off.
The Yi family, along with Sun Xin and Ding Baoshu, and the detectives from Team B meet at Fang Zhenyue's villa on Shixun Road on the top of the mountain for a barbecue party.
While helping Yi Jiadong string meat skewers, Liu Jiaming was still talking about an old case that had just been solved:
"This murder reason is so ridiculous, just for a stewed chicken?"
"Yeah, who would have thought that in this era, just because you're hungry, you'd kill someone?" Sanfu couldn't help but complain.
These motives for murder, as detectives, are sometimes beyond their imagination.
If they hadn't gotten the evidence and arrested the person, they would never have thought of looking for the murderer from the perspective of "killing for a chicken," right?
The detective who was investigating the murder of the old man at that time, based on the messy dining table and kitchen at the crime scene, guessed that it was an acquaintance who committed the crime. Most people would think that the murder was committed by the chicken-eating guests invited by the old man.
At that time, although some detectives also raised the possibility that the murder was committed just to snatch the pot of chicken, they also looked for homeless people who had been hungry for a long time.
Who would have thought that it was a strong young man who had just entered society?
The key is not entirely because of hunger, but more because of greed...
"But the murderer seems to have a normal mind, not a madman. I really can't figure it out..." Jiayi also shook her head and expressed her speechlessness.
Real cases in real life are really too complicated.
Only when you become a detective can you know how simple and ridiculous the reasons are for a person to kill another person of the same kind.
"Don't even think about the murderer's train of thought.
"We solved a case of hired murder that year. After checking, we found that there was only one person who had a grudge against the deceased. After questioning, he confessed immediately. Then we followed the confession and found the murderer. In fact, he was just an old butcher who used to slaughter pigs and took a temporary job of slaughtering people. It's hard to imagine that it took three days to solve the case. When the two of them got together to discuss the murder, didn't they think about the problem that their identity as the murderer was too obvious?
"They look normal, but sometimes normal people do things that even fools wouldn't do."
Fang Zhenyue raised his hand and called Jiayi, Gary and Sanfu to come in and help move the mineral water and pony.
Jiayi and her friends started playing around in the beautiful courtyard as soon as they arrived. The eldest brother immediately took over the leading work by the barbecue. They haven't even entered the villa to take a look. Jiayi
happily followed Fang Zhenyue into the villa. As soon as she entered the door, she saw the curved staircase leading from the living room to the second floor.
Many people in later generations built houses and villas. Even if they designed two floors, they would not build curved stairs for the sake of saving space.
The magnificent white-based decoration style, coupled with the extremely spacious living room on the first floor, which is about four or five meters high, makes it feel like walking into a palace as soon as you step in.
This is a perfect place for Jackie Chan's movie shooting. It must be very cool to run and jump and fight!
And...
staring at her with starry eyes, Jiayi has already begun to imagine another picture.
She is wearing a super luxurious, lace and chiffon-like expensive evening dress that she has never worn before. She walks out of the second-floor corridor and touches the handrail of the stairs. The long skirt drags behind her. Like a peacock flicking its tail, the skirt rustles into everyone's sight. Many people must have praised her for being so cool.
Then, she holds her head up, walks slowly, and walks down the stairs...
It's her childhood dream of a luxurious princess!
Squinting her eyes and flaring her nostrils, Jiayi took a deep breath, pursed her lips, and screamed in her head: I have to make more and more money! I want to buy a villa!
No, I can rent it for a year!
I must live here! Woo...
Following Fang Zhenyue to the kitchen to move things, Jiayi's feet were tired when she walked through the living room.
The living room is really too big and too long!
Turning around and looking through the French windows, you can see everyone busy in the yard, and there is an outdoor swimming pool next to the yard.
Fang Zhenyue carried a box of mineral water himself, and only handed Jiayi an apron, 3 bottles of milk and two sun hats.
When several people walked out of the villa side by side, Jiayi turned around and looked at the tall male host wearing flip-flops and baggy sports pants. She really wanted to work for him again.
It was like being a detective at the police station on weekdays and a servant at his villa on weekends. It was the kind of servant who could sit on a recliner under the grape tree in the master's yard after work, read the newspaper bought by the master, pet the golden retriever Wangcai raised by the master, enjoy the fresh breeze from the top of the Hong Kong mountain, and drink the black tea provided by the master.
Fang Zhenyue walked to the grill, bent down to put down a box of overweight mineral water, clenched his fists and shook his arms, turned around and saw Jiayi looking at him and grinning.
Smiles are contagious, so he smiled too, then stretched out his hand and grabbed her head, brought her to him, took the apron in her hand and handed it to Yi Jiadong, and gave the two bottles of milk in her arm to Jiajun and Jiaru.
Then he turned his head back and met Jiayi's smiling eyes again, and then asked in a low voice:
"What are you grinning about?"
Jiayi put her finger on her mouth and made a zipper-like motion.
Her fantasy has already advanced to killing the head of the family and occupying the nest.
Such a brutal story... nonono, absolutely cannot be told!
