Chapter 15 The Death of an Internet Celebrity 09 This Range is Too Broad
Chapter 9
Just when everyone was expecting that this would be a breakthrough in the case, they discovered that the man walked straight into the 14th unit building on the left side of the east gate.
After entering the elevator, he stopped at a certain floor, walked out of the elevator, and about half an hour later, he entered the elevator again, followed the surveillance footage out of the community, got into a car on the side of the road and left.
It was obvious that this man was not the suspect they were looking for.
After Bai was excited for a while, everyone continued to check the surveillance video.
I checked again and again many times, but didn't find any suspicious people.
"The traffic police team's surveillance cannot be tampered with, right?" Lu Changfeng stretched and stood up to move around. He had been watching for most of the day and his neck was stiff.
Zhou Yu replied to Lu Changfeng: "The surveillance security level of the public security system is very high. If someone tries to invade our network and tamper with the surveillance footage, we will definitely find out. The probability of success is very low and it is easy to expose yourself."
Lu Changfeng said with a slightly tired look: "Everyone has watched the surveillance video so many times, but they can't find this person at all. So how did the murderer disappear?"
Yue Fanglin asked Zhou Yu: "Has Jiang Hua's account data been retrieved?"
Zhou Yu shook his head: "I just asked my colleagues in Yancheng, and they said that the platform needs to go through the process. If it's fast, it can be adjusted this afternoon, and if it's slow, it will be tomorrow morning."
"Ask them to hurry up and try to get it ready this afternoon."
"I've urged you."
About half an hour later, people from the forensic department arrived.
Tell them: "The poison in the food and drinking water in the deceased's home has been analyzed and all the dishes are non-toxic."
This result was also expected.
In the evening, Lin Huan and others came back, and everyone couldn't wait to ask them how the investigation was going.
The answer we got was that there were no new discoveries.
Everyone who visited Jiang Hua said that he was an outstanding person, and no one said anything bad about him.
The case seemed to have reached a dead end and there was no way to continue the investigation.
Lu Changfeng also told everyone about his and Yue Fanglin's inferences, "Captain Yue and I have discussed this and we think it's more likely that it was someone we know who committed the crime, so we should start with someone close to us."
After two days of investigation, the deceased's cell phone was not found, the surveillance video was overwritten and could not be restored, and the surveillance cameras around the community were also checked. The only suspicious person was ruled out.
Everyone tried their best to investigate in all the possible directions, but found nothing.
The only hope now is the background records of Jiang Hua’s other account.
Lu Changfeng kept looking through the case files, trying to find a new breakthrough.
In the end, nothing was gained.
Everyone is in a low mood, and this is not a solution.
Lin Huan suggested: "It looks like we won't get any results today. People are made of iron and food is made of steel. If you don't eat, you'll be hungry. It's time for dinner, so why don't I treat everyone to a food stall? Who knows, after a full meal, your thoughts might become clearer."
It's better than everyone just sitting there in the office. Yue Fanglin was the first to support: "Team Lin will host this dinner today, and when the case is solved, I will host a celebration dinner together."
Lu Changfeng also knew that wasting time like this was not a solution, especially for leaders like them, who could not afford to be depressed, as this would easily affect everyone's mood and, in turn, their enthusiasm.
He also joined in the lively atmosphere, "I've heard before that the food stalls in Yue Province are amazing, and I've always been craving for them. I've just been sitting in this conference room watching the surveillance footage all day, and I'm going crazy. Let's go eat something delicious to neutralize the urge."
Lin Huan said: "Then you should eat more later."
With their leadership, the dull atmosphere in the office improved a little, and a group of people went to eat at the food stalls.
At six o'clock in the afternoon, the food stalls had just started business and most of the stalls had just been set up.
Lin Huan took them to the restaurant they often ate at, which also served barbecue.
Lin Huan told them: "Our roast goose here is a specialty, and the roast chicken and roast duck are also good. We also have various seafood porridges, roast pigeons, and roast suckling pigs."
He handed them the menu and said, "You have come from far away, so see what you like to eat."
Yue Fanglin glanced at the menu and tried to hand it to Lu Changfeng. Lu Changfeng refused, so Yue Fanglin gave it back to Lin Huan, "Captain Lin, please order some. When you go to a place, you naturally have to try the local food. The people who know the local food best are naturally the locals."
Lin Huan took the menu and said, "Since Captain Lu and Captain Yue trust me so much, I promise that you will enjoy your meal. It will be authentic and delicious."
He didn't even look at the menu, but directly told the boss a lot of dishes, and the boss wrote down a whole page.
Lin Huan pointed at the members of the serious crime team and the boss and said, "These people all came from Yancheng. Boss, show us your best skills and don't let these guests who have come from afar down."
The boss patted his chest and said, "I have opened this shop for thirty years. Captain Lin, you should keep your heart at ease. I guarantee that these customers from Yancheng will still think of us when they return to Yancheng."
"You came early today, and the kitchen has just started working, so the food will be served more slowly. Since you don't drink, I'll give you a few bottles of drinks and an extra soup. How about the two bosses' homemade dishes at home?"
Lin Huan nodded in agreement, "Okay, if there is anything edible, serve it to us first. Everyone hasn't finished their meal yet and is hungry."
"Okay." The boss turned and left, going to the kitchen to order the menu.
Lu Changfeng said: "This boss is quite good at doing business, generous and easy to talk to."
Lin Huan: "Yes, that's why their business is so good. If we come later, there may not be any empty seats."
Lu Changfeng took a look and found that the store had less than 20 tables in total. "Business is so good, why don't you expand the store?"
Lin Huan: "As the store gets bigger and business gets bigger, it will be busier. If the kitchen can't handle it, the quality of the dishes may decline. The current situation is just right for their store. The food quality can keep up with the busy schedule, and diners are willing to come back."
Lu Changfeng didn't know how to do business, but he felt that what Lin Huan said made sense. If the taste of the dishes in a restaurant he often ate at changed, he might not patronize it again over time. Instead of expanding, it would be better to maintain these old customers.
Lin Huan said: "There are indeed good restaurants, but these street stalls are the real delicious ones."
Lin Huan ordered both meat and vegetarian dishes, and it was obvious that he was a man who knew a lot about food.
Lu Changfeng took a photo, shared it in the group, and sent it to his colleagues.
Seeing him sending a message, Lin Huan asked, "Is Captain Lu reporting this to his family?"
Jing Jue also looked over. Even though he was sitting next to Lu Changfeng, he didn't see who Lu Changfeng sent the message to.
Lu Changfeng explained: "No, I'm single. I sent it to my friend and colleague. That colleague is from Huacheng and was transferred to the General Administration at the same time as me."
"Tingyuan." Yue Fanglin suddenly remembered that Tingyuan was from Huacheng.
Lu Changfeng nodded.
Chen Zhao asked, "Is it the Ting Yuan who almost died heroically while saving someone some time ago?"
Lu Changfeng looked at him, "Captain Chen, do you know him?"
Chen Zhao said, "Yes, I have. His master, Bai Zhilin, the captain of the second team of the criminal investigation detachment of the Huacheng Chengnan Branch, is my cousin."
"What a coincidence." Lu Changfeng felt that the world was really small sometimes. "I'm beginning to believe in the Law of Six now."
Yue Fanglin: "In fact, it is normal for you to know each other. There are only so many police schools in the country for those of you who graduated from professional schools. Most of those from this province studied in the police schools of their own province and are employed locally, so it is natural for them to have a wide network of interpersonal relationships."
Lu Changfeng nodded in agreement with Yue Fanglin's words. For example, when he was in Chuncheng, almost everyone there graduated from the Yunnan Provincial Police Academy. Qiu Shaoyang, Mingtang, Chen Yanjia, Xiaoding, Lan Ning, and Sheng Sui were all outstanding students of each class of the Yunnan Provincial Police Academy.
He is now in the Criminal Investigation Bureau, and almost everyone there graduated from the Capital Police Academy or the Yancheng Police Academy.
After a pleasant meal, it was already half past eight and everyone returned to the bureau together.
This meal brought everyone closer together and eased the depressed atmosphere. Everyone was full of energy.
Yue Fanglin struck while the iron was hot and organized a meeting between the two parties to discuss the case. "So far, the clues in the investigation have basically been cut off. I still believe that there is no perfect crime in this world. It's just that we haven't found a breakthrough yet. I want to hear everyone's thoughts."
Lu Changfeng: "I agree with what Captain Yue said. There is no perfect crime in this world. It's just that we haven't found a breakthrough yet. Judging from the case data and various evidence, Jiang Hua and the murderer at least knew each other, and the murderer brought the drugs to Jiang Hua's home. According to the time of the elevator anomaly, Jiang Hua returned home just as the murderer went to Jiang Hua's home. This shows that the murderer knew Jiang Hua's whereabouts very well. He may have been secretly monitoring or following Jiang Hua, and was near the deceased's home before going to the deceased's home. I think we should continue to start with the surveillance video, and then visit the community where the deceased lived to investigate whether anyone saw a suspicious person on the day of the incident."
Jing Jue said, "The forensic autopsy report mentioned that the deceased had caffeine in his body, which also shows that the deceased had consumed coffee before his death. Taken together, the murderer should have mixed poison in the coffee and let the deceased drink it, causing the deceased to die of poisoning. The forensic doctors have already tested that there is no item in Jiang Hua's home that is contaminated with oleander, so the coffee could not have been from Jiang Hua's home. It should have been brought to the door by the murderer, and Jiang Hua would have felt embarrassed not to drink it. Perhaps we can start the investigation from the coffee shop and track down whether the deceased packed or delivered the coffee before the murder."
"The scope is too broad. It's like looking for a needle in a haystack." Lin Huan shook his head, not quite agreeing with this way of investigation.
Jing Jue: "If the murderer shows up when he goes to buy coffee, then we can identify the murderer."
Lin Huan said: "We have no way of knowing which coffee shop the murderer bought his coffee from. Pengcheng is a city with a very fast pace. There are tens of thousands of coffee shops. A coffee shop can sell thousands of cups of coffee a day. We can't assume that the murderer bought his coffee from the coffee shop closest to the deceased's community. There is no way to check this."
He looked at Lu Changfeng: "I still agree with Captain Lu's idea. Start with community surveillance, cooperate with visits and investigations, and look for suspicious persons."
