Chapter 168 Summary of Clues



"Don't be a detective anymore, go write a novel." Sanfu slapped Liu Jiaming hard, waking the bad boy up.

"Am I thinking too far ahead?" Liu Jiaming scratched his head, and seeing everyone's indignant expressions, he was not only not unhappy, but also relieved.

"When I confronted Huang Xiangjie in the afternoon, although I didn't respond the whole time, he was talking to himself. He said that he admitted that he had occupied his master's store, but since his master suddenly disappeared, he naturally went along with the business. If they didn't come back, it would be normal for him to take over Xian Ji. He also said that he didn't know about the meat that the female police officer mentioned, and that it was all meat left by his master, so he just used it directly. He also said that he used to work with his master in Xian Ji, and now that his master's family is gone, they must have immigrated. Would it be illegal for him to continue his previous job? It's all nonsense." Sanfu took notes for him, but ignored him.

Jiayi nodded and wrote down the existing clues one by one on the whiteboard. After staring at the whiteboard for a long time, she wrote down two words on it:

nest.

Then she drew two horizontal lines under the two words.

Wagner happened to walk into the B team office at this time, staring at the words written on her whiteboard, frowned and asked:

"What does the nest mean?"

"We now have a lot of evidence, but if we want to interrogate Huang Xiangjie, these evidences are not enough to completely accuse him. He can be determined as the first suspect, but if we can't prove that he is the murderer, we will let him go in the end."

Jiayi turned to Wagner and said sadly:

"In many cases like this before, all the detectives were sure that this person was the murderer, but they couldn't find the core evidence, so they had to let this person go in the end. The murderer turned around and packed up to escape, leaving Hong Kong, and there may be no chance to catch him again.

"What's more, the law in Hong Kong is that if we accuse him of this crime and he is ultimately acquitted. Next time, you can’t charge someone with the same crime, even if there is new evidence later. "

Recently, such an incident happened in the UK. Lisa’s 10-year-old daughter was found under an old bed board in the basement two days after she went missing. The pink skirt she wore on the day she went missing was torn to pieces. The young life suffered multiple tortures before death and was finally strangled to death.

Seven ribs in her chest were crushed, she had severe internal bleeding, her lower body was severely lacerated, her eyes were bloodshot due to beatings, and her nose was smashed...

This was obviously an adult abuse and injury incident. Based on the injuries of the deceased, the detective inferred that the murderer was a man with considerable strength.

The first suspect at the time was a foreign maintenance worker hired by Lisa. This person was familiar with Lisa’s family situation, residential structure and other information, and met all the detectives’ profiles of the murderer. Moreover, a T-shirt that the foreign worker often wore was found in the fireplace of his rental place, burnt to pieces. The detectives seriously suspected that it was burned because it was stained with the blood of the deceased.

The clues became worse and worse, all pointing to the foreign maintenance worker, but no core evidence appeared. The police finally had to let him go, and the foreign worker left the UK three days later. Three months later, the case became an unsolved case and was permanently shelved...

Therefore, no matter how ridiculous Huang Xiangjie's defense was and how many logical loopholes there were, as long as there was no confession from him and no stronger evidence could be found, the detectives of Group B had to wait.

Only when all the evidence was in hand could he be sent to court for trial and given the punishment he deserved.

"Among all the clues now, the biggest gaps are 'Where are the heads, hands, feet and bones of Big Foot Qiang and his wife?' and 'Where is Wei Nianying, who is not at school and disappeared with her parents?'"

Jiayi pointed to the word "nest" she had drawn on the whiteboard:

"Huang Xiangjie has not returned to his rented place at night these days, nor has he slept in the home of Big Foot Qiang and his wife. It was cold at night, and the forensic department did not find any other bedding for him, so it was preliminarily determined that he did not sleep in the front hall or back kitchen of Xian Ji Ice House.

"From this, it can be inferred that he should have another nest.

"Is it possible that this nest contains the bodies of Big Foot Qiang and his wife, and at the same time imprisoned Wei Nianying? "

Wagner noticed that she used the words 'where' and 'confined', so -

"Do you think Wei Nianying is still alive?"

"The forensic officer has examined all the body parts collected so far and determined that there are only two victims.

"One of them has been preliminarily confirmed to be Big Foot Qiang. More concrete test reports will only be available after the results of the DNA test are out."

Sir Xu has already sent the DNA extracts of the body parts and the toothbrushes of Big Foot Qiang and his wife to the research institute.

"But Sir Xu judged that the other victim was an elderly woman, who is unlikely to be Wei Nianying. As long as there is no evidence of her death, we have to assume that she is still alive and try to find her as soon as possible."

In order to increase Wei Nianying's chances of survival.

Wagner nodded, walked into the office, and found a seat to sit down.

Everyone went through the case from beginning to end. Jiayi kept asking questions about every clue, stimulating everyone's thinking and trying to find some missing clues.

Although some case details were added in the process to make the case more coherent and the suspicion against Huang Xiangjie became deeper, there was still no breakthrough.

Tannen rushed over from Sister Yin's office to attend the meeting and provided a profile to add that the murderer had a strong desire for violence that needed to be vented. The deeper it was hidden in the past, the thicker the violent desire accumulated, and the more violent it was when vented. ' information, and infer that small animals must often go missing in the nearby streets. They can check whether anyone has seen Huang Xiangjie harming small animals to deepen Huang Xiangjie's suspicion, which will also be useful in the trial.

However, this profile did not bring new ideas to Team B. Uncle Jiu's previous visits to the neighbors had made it clear that small animals often went missing in the neighborhood. Some neighbors' pets were never found again once they got lost. Therefore, in the past month or so, people who keep pets have been keeping a close eye on their small animals, and even people who keep pigeons have sold their pigeons.

"The garbage collector has never seen dead animals, nor any limbs. There are only dead rats, and the old lady said she is sure that the rats were not killed by humans." Uncle Jiu pointed with a small stick:

"No one has ever seen Huang Xiangjie catching small animals. In everyone's sight, Huang Xiangjie is a simple, honest, impeccable and diligent apprentice. Many people also envy Da Jiaoqiang and his wife for finding such a godchild."

Godchild means godson. Many neighbors said that the relationship between Huang Xiangjie and Da Jiaoqiang and his wife is very similar to that of godfather, godmother and godson. They used to be very close.

Tannen took off his glasses, pinched the bridge of his nose, and was about to think deeply when his stomach suddenly gurgled with a series of "I'm hungry" sounds.

Immediately afterwards, in response to this sound, there were "gurgles", "gurgles", "gurgles", and "gurgles" one after another. They came from Wagner, Liu Jiaming, Sanfu... all the agents in Team B.

They had not eaten lunch at noon and were much hungrier than Expert T.

The agents were stubborn and didn't want to eat. They wanted to continue to work on the case, but hunger was too strong. The brain needs nutrients to function, and full energy needs energy. People can't live without food.

The first one who couldn't hold back was Uncle Jiu. The old man couldn't stand the hunger anymore:

"Let's go to Yi Ji. I only trust Chef Yi now."

"Yeah, let's go eat something. Eat well, then come back to work overtime."

"Ask Jiadong for some vegetables. The greener, the better."

"Gogogo!"

The agents who had just stuck their butts to the chairs suddenly stood up.

Wagner raised his head, a little confused about the origins of Yi Ji and Chef Yi.

Jiayi turned her head to meet his gaze and said with a smile:

"Yi Ji is an ice cream parlor opened by my eldest brother. Chef Yi is my eldest brother, named Yi Jiadong. I also have a younger sister and a younger brother, Jiaru and Jiajun. Oh, by the way, there is also a young foreign aid in the store, he is a relative of the victim in the previous case of Group B, his name is Ding Baoshu, and he is also a young boy."

Jiayi measured Baoshu's height with her palm beside her, and then continued:

"You will meet them in a while, Sir W, let's go to Yi Ji together, the ingredients are absolutely reliable, and the taste is also very good. Mr. Cai also wrote a food column for Yi Ji."

Wagner stood up and accepted Jiayi's invitation, and naturally integrated into the big family of Group B, and followed her to Ivy Street.

"This meal is on my table." Wagner said to the agents on the way in his black Mercedes-Benz, which was very consistent with his temperament.

"..."

There was silence in the car. At this moment, everyone recalled the last meal that Wagner had paid for...
