So he retorted, "You've all seen the security footage, so how come you still don't know what I was doing?"
Ma Jie cursed inwardly, "She's really a master. I bet the surveillance footage was deliberately sabotaged by her. But she timed it so well!"
"Now we're asking you questions, so just answer honestly!"
Maria, of course, was unaware that the surveillance system had been suspended, so she recounted in detail what happened when she went out, encountered the mistress's insults, helped Grandma Yang find her dog, and was stood up by the octopus.
After hearing this, not only Ma Jie and Li Na, but also Li Nan outside the house felt that it all seemed too coincidental.
Li Nan recalled what Xiong Sifu had said: "There aren't that many coincidences between cases! Behind every coincidence, there must be an inevitability!"
Could it be that this case will once again fall under the purview of Meiluo Academy?
The suspect is Gao Siming's first love from college, which makes this case even more interesting.
After Maria finished speaking, Li Na and Ma Jie had no further questions for the time being. They collected the phone number of Octopus Media (who had contacted her) and Yang's contact information, concluding the interrogation.
They needed to further verify the information provided by Peng Yuanyuan. At this point, Maria seemed to understand something and asked timidly, "Officer, didn't you check the surveillance footage? Why don't you just check the footage? Why do you need to find someone to verify it?"
Ma Jie responded coldly, "This is a necessary procedure for us, you don't need to ask any more questions. According to regulations, you still have to stay here for 24 hours. If you remember anything you haven't explained clearly, explain it now!"
Maria's information was complete, logically sound, and too coincidentally related to Zhang Qiqi's death.
If all of her claims are proven, then could it be that Peng Yuanyuan is not the murderer? Was she also a target?
Thinking of Gao Siming, who had a complicated relationship with Meiluo Academy, Li Nan wondered to herself, what kind of organization did this unfortunate young couple offend to earn such "respect"?
After the first interrogation, Peng Yuanyuan was given a pair of metal handcuffs and taken to the detention room by the police officers.
Meanwhile, Ma Jie and his group got busy verifying the accuracy of the information provided by Peng Yuanyuan.
The verification results confirmed Li Nan and the others' suspicions once again: Peng Yuanyuan was very likely wrongly accused.
Such an obvious chain of evidence, isn't it too pointed?
Upon seeing the results, Ma Jie also felt that his attitude towards Peng Yuanyuan might have been too subjective.
The fingerprint comparison results showed that the half fingerprint found on the medicine bottle in Zhang Qiqi's study matched the right index finger of Peng Yuanyuan.
However, only half of the fingerprint was found. The meticulous trace evidence technicians discovered that the extracted fingerprint showed signs of secondary adhesion, suggesting that the fingerprint may have been deliberately placed on the bottle cap.
Why is it that fingerprints are only left on the cap of a cylindrical medicine bottle? Isn't that too much of a coincidence?
The phone number used to contact Peng Yuanyuan was not verified to be belonging to an employee of Octopus Company. The registered owner of the phone card is a saleswoman at the Tanhua Shopping Mall, who stated that she had no idea such a phone card was registered under her name.
Contact the phone operator to confirm the MAC address used to make the call. Since the phone is a generic brand, it should not have been registered under a real name when purchased.
On the 7th, the phone card was used three times, and only three times.
The first two calls were to Peng Yuanyuan, and the third was to the security guard on duty at the community's surveillance system.
According to the questioning, the security guard did not remember the specific content of the call, but recalled that it seemed to be a sales call, and the call was disconnected after only three or four seconds.
Security guards and phone operator call logs confirmed this, but out of respect for customer privacy, the operator did not listen to every call.
Moreover, through network triangulation, the mobile phone signal source is the Lakeside Moonlight residential area, within a radius of approximately 3 kilometers.
However, this number was never used again, making it impossible to locate it further.
What's even more interesting is about Grandma Yang.
"How dare Xiao Peng talk nonsense! My own son is so well-behaved, how could he run around like that, much less fool around outside!"
Grandma Yang said firmly, without even considering the little teddy bear that was doing push-ups on Ma Jie's calves.
"Captain Li, this is the current situation. I have a feeling that Peng Yuanyuan has been framed."
Ma Jie scratched his head. "Including Grandma Yang's unreliable testimony, I have a feeling this is a trap to lure Peng Yuanyuan into."
“It’s not just you, I feel the same way!” Li Nan put down the documents in her hand and said, “By the way, Peng Yuanyuan said that when they were looking for the dog, did anyone else in the neighborhood see her?”
Ma Jie recalled for a moment, "It seems not, Captain Li, those lakeside neighborhoods are sparsely populated and have no human presence!"
Ma Jie had a sour grapes feeling, saying, "Unlike my rented neighborhood, which is overcrowded, it takes half an hour to park after get off work."
Li Nan had a flash of inspiration: the car!
"By the way, Ma Jie, go check the traffic surveillance footage around the neighborhood again! The neighborhood's surveillance cameras are gone, but if any cars passed by them at the time, their dashcams might have recorded it. If we can find out which vehicles entered and exited the neighborhood before and after the incident, verify their identities, and contact the owners, we can determine whether Peng Yuanyuan was lying or whether she was wronged!"
Ma Jie replied with a wronged tone, "They want to check the surveillance footage again! But that's a good idea. As long as there's video of them looking for the dog on the recorder, it means the murderer is someone else."
"Finding the murderer will be quite difficult!" Li Nan sighed, turning his gaze towards the laboratory. More than a day had passed, and Qin Wen and her team were still not finished with the autopsy.
This case is indeed quite difficult, and the implications are truly intense!
