Chapter 65: The Corpse Dismemberment Case (X) I Didn’t Kill Anyone
Everyone present looked at each other, knowing in their hearts that this possibility should not be underestimated.
Just as they were reviewing surveillance videos day and night, Han Jianye brought back a DNA comparison report between Li Meixiang's father and the deceased from the laboratory.
The report showed that the DNA data of the two were highly consistent, with a matching degree of up to 99.99%, confirming that the deceased was undoubtedly Li Meixiang.
Upon hearing the sad news, Li's father was heartbroken and filled with regret and anger.
He said sadly: "She must have been killed by her mouth. She speaks just like her mother, aggressively and unreasonably."
Han Jianye asked Li's father, "Has Li Meixiang's personality always been like this since childhood?"
Father Li slapped his thigh in grief and said solemnly, "She learned this from her mother when she was young. Her mother had her leg broken by someone in the village because of her mouth. This is a bloody lesson.
When she went out to work, I repeatedly advised her to change her bad temper. When she goes out into society, she must learn to be tolerant and control her mouth. Many things happen because of what comes out of the mouth. A word you say inadvertently may sound different to others. ”
Having come to this point, Han Jianye no longer waited and had Zhang Xiannan taken back to the police station for interrogation.
Han Jianye stared at Zhang Xiannan with sharp eyes and asked firmly, "You were taken to the police station for questioning. Do you know why?"
Zhang Xiannan shook his head in confusion and replied, "No, I don't know."
Han Jianye pressed on: "You claimed before that you had no contact after Li Meixiang moved out of Nanwu Community. But our investigation shows that you had a 20-minute phone call on the night of August 14. How do you explain this?"
Zhang Xiannan smiled and replied easily, "Oh, that, we were discussing the refund of the deposit, so we talked for a long time. Is there any problem with that?"
Han Jianye frowned and continued to ask, "So where did you go on the afternoon of August 15th?"
Zhang Xiannan seemed a little hesitant and replied, "I don't remember clearly."
Han Jianye reminded him: "Don't you need to think about it again? Didn't you go to the river bank under Wangnan Bridge with your girlfriend Xiao Huihui?"
Zhang Xiannan seemed to suddenly realize something after being reminded, and said, "Yes, now that you mention it, I remember that it was indeed the case. There have been so many things going on recently that I can't remember much."
Han Jianye looked at him coldly and continued to ask, "I don't think your memory is bad, but you've told so many lies that you can't even tell which ones are true and which ones are false, right?"
Zhang Xiannan's smile froze, and he argued, "Where did you get that from?"
Han Jianye made a direct accusation: "Did you kill Li Meixiang, stuff her body into a suitcase, transport it to another place to dismember it, and then dump the body on the riverbank under Wangnan Bridge in the early morning?"
Zhang Xiannan immediately denied it: "No, you must have misunderstood. How could I do such a thing?"
Han Jianye continued to ask: "Then how do you explain that you went to the urban village alone on the afternoon of August 15, and Li Meixiang happened to live there. You went there empty-handed, but left with a red suitcase. We have already investigated and found that a red suitcase was indeed missing from Li Meixiang's rental house."
Zhang Xiannan was stunned at first, then he forced a smile and explained: "I am a second-hand landlord. I just went to the village to take a walk that day and picked up a suitcase to take home. Later I found out that it was broken, so I threw it away."
Han Jianye looked at him. During the entire interrogation process, Zhang Xiannan's answers were always evasive. He either forgot or suddenly remembered something. He never answered the key questions directly.
"Then can you tell us where you threw the suitcase?" Han Jianye asked.
Zhang Xiannan avoided the question and answered, "I can't remember clearly either."
In another interrogation room, Xiao Huihui seemed a little confused when asked about the red suitcase. She answered in confusion: "There is no red suitcase. I haven't seen it."
Ye Bai then asked: "What time did you meet on the evening of August 15th?"
Xiao Huihui pondered for a moment, then replied: "It was around 7 o'clock in the evening. He drove to my house to pick me up."
Ye Bai crossed his arms, suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Did Zhang Xiannan give you a brown wool coat?"
Xiao Huihui was silent for a while, and finally answered in a low voice: "Yes..."
Ye Bai and Liao Wei exchanged glances, with a hint of joy in their eyes. Their guess seemed to be confirmed.
Ye Bai continued to ask: "Did Zhang Xiannan tell you where the coat came from?"
Xiao Huihui pursed her lips tightly. Feeling the pressure, she finally couldn't help but tell the truth: "Xiannan told me that he found the coat on a chair in a milk tea shop when he passed by the mall. He said someone must have bought it and forgot to take it away. I took a look and found that it was a branded coat with the tag still on. The price was 1,228 yuan, which was quite expensive. He told me not to tell anyone and to keep it a secret."
Ye Bai said to Xiao Huihui in a serious tone: "Do you believe him so easily? Do you believe everything he says? Don't forget, he is now suspected of a serious murder case."
Xiao Huihui hurriedly explained, with a hint of anxiety in her voice: "Xiannan is really good to me and always goes along with me. How could such a good man be involved in a murder case? I think you must have misunderstood."
Ye Bai looked at Xiao Huihui quietly. Her eyes were clear and her tone was gentle. She was obviously the kind of flower that was carefully cared for and lived in a greenhouse.
Perhaps, all the bad things were done by Zhang Xiannan behind her back, and she knew nothing about it.
Ye Bai continued to ask: "When you were at the riverbank, did Zhang Xiannan get out of the car and throw anything into the river?"
Xiao Huihui nodded and replied, "Yes, he said he wanted to throw away a dead dog."
"Dead dog?" Ye Bai repeated in confusion.
"Yes, he didn't let me get out of the car, saying that a tenant's dog had died and it was very unlucky, so he helped to deal with it. Then, we stayed in the car... until it was almost dawn before we went back."
Xiao Huihui's voice became smaller and smaller, and at the end, she even seemed a little shy.
You will know what is going on as soon as you hear it.
At the end of the interrogation, Zhang Xiannan was suspected of being involved in the case and could not leave because he could not explain why he went to the urban village and took away the red suitcase.
Xiao Huihui almost cried, she kept assuring everyone that Zhang Xiannan could not have killed anyone.
Ye Bai relayed Xiao Huihui's statement to Han Jianye in detail.
After hearing this, Han Jianye frowned and asked in a deep voice, "Throwing a dead dog into the river?"
Ye Bai looked serious, nodded affirmatively, and responded: "Yes, I suspect that Xiao Huihui unknowingly became Zhang Xiannan's accomplice. Or she became a part of Zhang Xiannan's elaborate plan to help him serve as a witness. It's not a dead dog, but a corpse dumping."
