Chapter 359 Zhao Liwan

Seeing Dai Gui’s puzzled expression and Su Zhixiong’s inquiring gaze, Jiayi nodded and turned to lead the two back to the crime scene.

She walked to the corner first, squatted down, and motioned the two to squat down as well.

Dai Gui turned his head to look at Su Zhixiong, and seeing that he squatted decisively, he also pulled up his trousers and squatted in a square Asian squat, with his face close to the direction of Yi Jiayi’s finger.

“There are a few relatively clear, messy, dusty scratches here. What do they look like?”

The two male police officers looked at each other for a few seconds, and Su Zhixiong shook his head first.

“Don’t you clean up at home?” Jiayi asked second.

The two shook their heads.

"Have you never seen a broom?" Jiayi asked for the third time.

The two thought about it, and Dai Gui chuckled: "Of course I have seen it."

Jiayi pointed to the corner of the wall and said:

"This is very similar to the marks left by a broom when you are not careful enough and scratch the wall when sweeping the edge.

"When people sweep the floor with a broom, if they encounter such an edge, the head of the wooden broom will poke the wall. If the broom just sweeps over a dirty floor, it will scrape the dust on the wall.

"If there were skirting boards at home, the white walls could be prevented from being scratched by wooden brooms. However, the walls of this dance hall are covered with wallpaper. Although it is luxurious, it saves materials at the corners between the walls and the floor. As a result, when the cleaning lady mops the floor, the mop head will rub against it, and the edge of the vacuum cleaner will bump against it. You see, these old marks are left in this way.

" And wooden brooms will also scratch dust when sweeping the floor. If the wooden broom is rough, it will even scrape the fragile wallpaper."

Jiayi turned around and asked again:

"What does the cleaning lady of this dance hall use to clean the floor of the room? "

Dai Gui scratched his head, as if he was back in school when he was always targeted by the teacher and was called on to answer questions. After swallowing dryly, he said with difficulty:

"Use a vacuum cleaner first, then wipe it with a mop."

"That's right." Jiayi finally smiled a little, as if to say: You, this student, are not completely hopeless.

"Then why are there traces of a wooden broom sweeping the floor here?" Jiayi turned her head and asked seriously.

"Ah, someone swept the floor at the crime scene." Dai Gui slapped his thigh and almost sat down on the ground.

Su Zhixiong helped Dai Gui and pulled him to stand up.

Su Zhixiong turned around and stretched out his hand to Jiayi.

"But this is just a guess and cannot be used as evidence. "Jia Yi accepted his kindness, and after being pulled up, she turned back to the chair where the victim died and continued to explain:

"The victim, Zhao Lide, died on this chair. If the murderer had carefully cleaned the floor, he would not have rashly moved the body, because it might have left more clues and traces for the police to examine.

"Then the dust under the feet of this chair should be the original dust in this room.

" "And the other areas are in the condition after being cleaned by the murderer.

"But this dance hall has been here for nearly a month. Even if it has been closed and no one has used it, there will be naturally accumulated dust.

"However, how can we get rid of the dust accumulated during this month?

"It's to test the dust in other rooms - because other rooms have accumulated dust for a month just like this room. After eliminating this part of the same substance, what's left is the dust unique to the room where the crime scene occurred."

Jiayi turned to look at Dai Gui, her eyes asking:

"Do you understand?"

Dai Gui was still a little confused.

Jiayi shrugged, "Anyway, my forensic colleagues got the test results and came to the same conclusion as mine. That is, the murderer cleaned the floor of the room where the crime scene occurred after the murder. Therefore, no insect repellent incense ash was detected on the floor of the room where the crime scene occurred, but it was detected under the chair legs where the murderer did not clean.

"Therefore, we can further infer that when the murderer left the room, he cleaned up all the messy traces that might show the police the truth of what happened at the crime scene. "He left the traces he wanted to show the police."

Jiayi said as she pretended to walk backwards and clean the floor until she left the room.

"How do you explain the row of footprints of the dead person on the floor?" Dai Gui scratched his head and continued to ask.

"Wearing the dead person's shoes, stepping on this row of footprints." Jiayi said.

"But there are only footprints of walking in, not..." Dai Gui suddenly slapped his forehead when he said this, "Ah, I know, it's often played in detective novels and movies, the murderer must have learned it. Step on a row of footprints to go in, then carefully step on this row of footprints, and slowly back out... Eh? That's not right, but if he backs out, wouldn't he also wear the murderer's shoes? Then how did he put the shoes back on the dead person's feet? "

Jia Yi was also puzzled by this, and turned to ask Su Zhixiong: "Is it possible that the person who found the body cooperated with the murderer and put the shoes back on the deceased's feet? Or someone broke into the crime scene during the chaos?"

Su Zhixiong shook his head, "I was one of the first police officers to arrive at the crime scene. The person who found the body was the shareholder manager of the Yunshang Ballroom. He was very scared when this happened and did not alarm other people in the ballroom at all. Before the police arrived, he was the only one who had entered the crime scene.

"I have also conducted a very detailed investigation on this manager. He is not short of money, he is not corrupt, and he has no financial crisis. After repeated interrogations, based on the professional quality of the police, we judged that the manager did not lie.

"Furthermore, when the forensic doctor examined the body, he also considered the possibility that someone else took off the shoes of the deceased and left footprints.

"But the deceased will have rigor mortis for a period of time after death. Judging from the time of death of the deceased and the time when the manager found the body, when he discovered that Zhao Lide had died, rigor mortis had already begun. At that time, if the shoes were put back on the deceased, marks would have been left on the deceased's feet. But there were no marks.

"Also, before the police entered the crime scene, the forensic colleagues carefully checked the footprints and conducted footprint analysis. After the manager smelled the deceased's breath and confirmed that the deceased was dead, he did not take any other actions, which must have included helping the deceased put on shoes in front of the deceased. "

Jia Yi pinched her chin and turned to ask Su Zhixiong: "Can you find higher-resolution color photos of the soles of the shoes the deceased was wearing at the time? All I got were photocopied black-and-white photos."

"..." Su Zhixiong was silent for a few breaths, then nodded in agreement.

"Then I'll trouble Officer Su." Jia Yi said, and strode out the door.

"Then what? What do we do next?" Dai Gui glanced at Su Zhixiong and followed Yi Jiayi unconsciously.

Su Zhixiong stood at the door with his hands in his pockets, looking at the backs of Yi Jiayi and Dai Gui and blinked.

Unconsciously, they had accepted Yi Jiayi's judgment, recognized her authority and command, and would not question the identity and professionalism of this strange outsider before every action and speech...

Su Zhixiong looked at the time, it was a little after four in the afternoon.

Madam Yi from Hong Kong, at a young age, stood in a completely free position and easily controlled the situation in just 10 hours.

Dai Gui, who had just been talking nonsense to him a few hours ago and calling Yi Jiayi a flower vase, was now following Madam Yi, curious about what she would do next.

If Dai Gui had not been convinced by her in every aspect, how could he be so excited?

After walking out of the crime scene and greeting the police guarding the door, Su Zhixiong caught up with Dai Gui and Yi Jiayi and walked out of the Yunshang Dance Hall side by side.

When he and Yi Jiayi parted ways at the door, he heard Yi Jiayi say to Dai Gui:

"I have a guess about the footprints at the crime scene, but it's not very clear. I need to check it out and find some key evidence."

"The police department is already pushing forward the process of reopening this case. Once there is news, I will immediately inform Mr. Zhao. And... after getting the photos, I will go to the villa to see you immediately." Su Zhixiong said. "

No problem." Jiayi strode towards the Nissan car that Yabo arranged for her, and drove out several hundred meters with one foot on the accelerator.

Dai Gui sat in Su Zhixiong's car as the co-driver, looking at Yi Jiayi who disappeared in a cloud of dust, and couldn't help but blurt out in English:

"Holy shit!"

Madam Yi's driving skills are damn wild!

……

……

While Yi Jiayi was immersed in the investigation, Yi Jiadong was exploring the city of Kaohsiung accompanied by Zhao Liwan.

At first, Zhao Liwan followed the usual travel schedule and took Yi Jiadong to visit Chunqiu Pavilion and Xiziwan Scenic Area... The plan also included the British Consulate in Takao, Love River, Kaohsiung Eye and Chengcing Lake. If there was enough time, they could also go to Kenting National Park, which has a special tropical landscape... It

would definitely take some time for Officer Yi to investigate the case. She could do her best to be a good host and invite Yi Jiadong to travel around Kaohsiung. She could also take the opportunity to relax and get away from the atmosphere in the villa and the work in the company that was increasingly annoying her.

As they walked and strolled, Zhao Liwan discovered that Officer Yi's brother, Mr. Yi Jiadong, was far less interested in scenery than in food.

In this case, they had to go to Liuhe Night Market!

This was originally the Dagangpu Night Market, which rose in the late 1940s and is the most representative night market in Kaohsiung.

There are more than a hundred stalls here, where you can eat the most authentic large intestine wrapped in small intestine, salt steamed shrimp, tube rice cake, danzi noodles, croaker soup, papaya milk and all other famous snacks in Taiwan. In addition, there are also steak houses with many signs, as well as food stalls with any ingredients you can imagine.

When Yi Jiadong tasted the food called "coffin board", he simply had to admire the imagination and creativity of chefs from all over the world.

The "coffin board" is made of pork liver slices, fresh ginger slices, bell peppers, basil slices, rice cake slices and other ingredients mixed with various ingredients, put into a fried toast box that is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, shaped like a coffin, and then covered with a piece of toast.

If you ask a friend to help you order the ingredients, and you don't know what ingredients are inside, when you close your eyes and take the first bite, that's called "exploration" and "adventure", but there is no crisis in this bite, only surprise. But the excitement and happiness are no less.

At this time, it is best to pair it with the Zheng Lao brand papaya milk that Zhao Liwan passed on and is the favorite of celebrities. Although it doesn't really make your breasts bigger, the sweet fruity flavor and milky flavor are really the most beautiful and happy mix.

"If it were in Hong Kong, this would be renamed Cornucopia." As Yi Jiadong walked, he wondered what would happen if he brought this delicacy to Yi Ji.

Zhao Liwan followed Yi Jiadong, weaving through the crowds. She rarely came here in the past. After all, when she grew up, she didn't need to accompany most of the guests.

Even the distinguished guests who needed company often didn't need her to accompany them to the night market.

This was a very wonderful combination of timing, an accident.

I thought I would be like the last time I visited Liuhe Night Market, tired of the complicated smells and people bumping into each other. But strangely, watching Yi Jiadong's pure joyful expression while enjoying the food, she was gradually aroused, and even bought a "duck liver plate" with him, eating it while walking on the street in a very unladylike manner.

But Yi Jiadong did not show any disapproval of this, and he even seemed to think that this was normal, even if it happened to her, the daughter of the plastic king.

Mr. Yi did not seem to be very sensitive to the "properties" such as identity and behavior. The kind of recklessness that came from the wild growth in Hong Kong was particularly free and unrestrained in Yi Jiadong, and there was a kind of magic that made the people around him remove all shackles and restore their freedom and relaxation.

This was a different distinguished guest.

After the two tasted all the delicacies in the snack street, they turned to the beach.

The sea breeze blew, and people felt a little emotional.

The two talked about their childhood. Yi Jiadong mentioned the experience of living with his younger siblings, which evoked Zhao Liwan's memories:

"When I was young, my parents started a business together, and they were very busy. I was the one who took care of my younger brothers and sisters. Whenever they got bruises or were bullied, I, as the eldest sister, would stand up for them. They relied on me so much...

" "But when we grew up, everything changed."

"Life is like this. Many things may not develop the way we want." Yi Jiadong suddenly remembered a sentence Fang Zhenyue once said, and passed it on to Zhao Liwan: "This world is terrible, but we can't wait for the world to get better before we start living. "

It's probably like this when the people around you are terrible. "

Zhao Liwan turned her head to look at Yi Jiadong and whispered, "I really envy you..."

The two chatted for a long time, and only returned to the villa when the night got darker.

After saying goodbye in the living room and going back to their rooms, Yi Jiadong looked at Zhao Liwan's back. He knew that the Zhao family's children were all suspects in the death of Zhao Lide, and so was Zhao Liwan.

After a day of getting along, he suddenly began to hope: I hope it's not her. He

sighed softly and walked back to the corridor of the guest room area.

On the other side, Zhao Liwan walked to the door of the room, and when she held the door handle, she suddenly lowered her eyes and stared at her hand. After a few breaths, she turned back and stared at Yi Jiadong's back.

Standing in the shadows, she watched Yi Jiadong walk into the other side, open the guest room door and go in, until his figure disappeared from her sight, she finally opened her own door.
