Chapter 176 In My Name 12 Shi Minjie's death was ruled an accident...
Chapter 12
"That means Wang Xue already knew that Shi Minjie had a family, and she was just a third party?"
Wang Hongyu answered with certainty: "She must know."
Lu Changfeng seemed to be thinking about something.
Since Wang Xue already knew it, why did she hide it?
Lu Changfeng asked Wang Hongyu: "Is Shi Minjie a self-disciplined person?"
Wang Hongyu shook his head: "No, he needs me to urge him on many things. He doesn't have a good sense of time and has a serious procrastination problem."
"You've been with him for so long, will he forget to take his medicine?"
“Yes.” Wang Hongyu said: “This has happened more than once. He often gets dizzy during academic exchanges. I know he must have high blood pressure and forgot to take his medicine.”
"Doesn't he have a medicine steward to remind him to take his medicine on time?"
"Yes, he does, but he often forgets to take his medicine after he clocks in. My teacher's wife always asks me to help remember and make sure that the teacher takes his medicine after he finishes breakfast."
Wang Hongyu said: "Master's high blood pressure is not particularly serious. If he occasionally skips medication for a day and does not do strenuous exercise, generally nothing will happen."
Lu Changfeng took a look at the content of the conversation and ended the interrogation as he had nothing else to ask.
The serious crime squad gathered together to discuss the information they had just obtained from interrogating the three people.
Jing Jue said: "Lan Qi must be an insider."
"But we have no evidence to prove that she was an insider, nor do we have any evidence to prove that she covered up the crime."
Jing Jue sighed.
Yue Fanglin said: "According to Wang Hongyu's testimony, Shi Minjie himself is not a very self-disciplined person as Lan Qi said. Lan Qi also lied in this regard."
Lu Changfeng nodded: "But the most crucial point of his testimony tells us that Shi Minjie would clock in early but forget to take his medicine. Shi Minjie would have a lucky mentality in such a matter. According to the situation at the scene and the clock-in records provided by Lan Qi, Shi Minjie may have clocked in himself, but due to procrastination, he directly forgot that he did not take his medicine, and went swimming and drowned in the swimming pool."
Jing Jue raised a question: "Let's put aside other things. Shi Minjie needs to take antihypertensive medicine after meals. He had not eaten when he woke up in the morning. I think it is reasonable for him not to take the antihypertensive medicine. He may want to take it after meals."
"It's possible that he went swimming without eating. The main reason is that no one entered his room during the time of his death, and his blood pressure medicine was on the table. Only his fingerprints, as well as those of Lan Qi, Wang Xue, and Wang Hongyu, were detected on the bottle. If his blood pressure medicine was taken away by someone else, he would not be so calm to go swimming in the pool."
"Based on the evidence we have so far, I think he didn't consciously intend to take the medicine, which led to the accident and his death in the swimming pool."
Yue Fanglin tapped his fingers on the table. "If you want to say his death was a coincidence, that's certainly plausible, but how do you explain the Judge symbol in the swimming pool? We haven't announced this symbol to the public. Such a niche item can't necessarily be a jewelry. The resort also said that they did a deep cleaning after the previous customer checked out and confirmed that the swimming pool was clean. The resort has a set of cumbersome standards. After the cleaning, someone will specifically check the hygiene standards. I think a necklace dropped in the swimming pool is still easy to be discovered. The necklace appearing in the swimming pool is definitely not a coincidence."
Jing Jue and Yue Fanglin looked at Lu Changfeng at the same time.
Lu Changfeng's pressure doubled.
"Is there no objection to deeming Shi Minjie's death an accident?"
Jing Jue nodded in approval.
Yue Fanglin said: "No problem."
Zhou Yu: "I have no objection either."
"Since no one has any objection, combined with the results of the forensic autopsy and Wang Hongyu's testimony, it is sufficient to determine that Shi Minjie's death was caused by an accident. There is no need to debate this matter anymore."
Everyone nodded.
"In this case, the approach to this case should be changed."
Jing Jue immediately sat up straight, wanting to hear Lu Changfeng's thoughts.
Yue Fanglin felt that there was insufficient evidence in this case and it was difficult to determine who would be the judge.
Lu Changfeng said, "I have always believed that the Judge's mark could not have grown its own legs and run into the swimming pool, so it must have been placed in the swimming pool by someone with ulterior motives. I hope we can find out the sins of Shi Minjie. Do you agree with this view?"
"Agreed." Several people answered in unison.
"Next, we will use the actual situation to infer who is most likely to be the judge and who is most likely to have thrown the necklace into the swimming pool."
Lu Changfeng posted photos of all the people who appeared at the scene on the writing board.
Not many people have entered and exited Shi Minjie's room these days.
The only people who have a direct relationship with Shi Minjie are Wang Xue and several of his students, and they all came at different times.
The rest were hotel staff.
Lu Changfeng pointed at Wang Xue and said, "She is a suspect because she was the last person to see Shi Minjie alive."
Subsequently, the photo of the first employee to enter the crime scene was found. It was the hotel's room steward, who was responsible for directly connecting with guests and helping them arrange daily meal orders, etc.
"This is the first person to enter the crime scene and discover the victim's death. He is also the most likely suspect to exploit the incident."
"I just checked the recruitment conditions of the resort. Generally, the job requirements are a bachelor's degree. We cannot rule out that he is dissatisfied with being an ordinary hotel staff after graduating from college, and he wants us to dig up the unknown side of Shi Minjie."
Yue Fanglin nodded in agreement: "In comparison, I think the possibility that Wang Xue, Shi Min and other students are judges is not that high."
Lu Changfeng echoed, "I think so too. No matter how Shi Minjie exploits them, they are all Shi Minjie's students and are on the same boat. If they do anything that is not in the interests of Shi Minjie now, it will affect their own future. When they apply to become a disciple in the future, they will most likely be treated differently by others with tinted glasses."
It is also very clear from the visits and investigations that the graduated students may not necessarily come forward to directly expose Shi Minjie's evil deeds, but they have at least provided clues to a certain extent.
For example, Ni Zitong and Ju Heng.
These students in school glorify Shi Minjie as much as possible and do not want Shi Minjie's downfall to affect their future.
Although Wang Xue already knew that she was a mistress and could not even get the identity and honor she wanted, facing the sudden death of Shi Minjie, she could only try her best to disguise herself as a victim. Only in this way could she minimize the loss of her own interests.
Exposing Shi Minjie's actions under such circumstances would not be conducive to her employment after graduation.
Lan Qi is the same. She tries her best to maintain her husband's perfect image. Even if they have no feelings for each other, they are still legally married. This is an indisputable fact. She is also a university professor. Even though she has her own outstanding talents, her husband is a scumbag. This will affect her reputation to a certain extent and even drag her down. Her subsequent work may be affected.
After Lu Changfeng removed all the people who had vested interests in Shi Minjie, only the resort employees were left.
Based on the surveillance content, Lu Changfeng numbered these people in the order in which they should enter.
"The earlier you enter, the greater the suspicion."
Yue Fanglin said: "This is the logical conclusion, but how can we further find out who is the judge?"
Anyone can be the judge.
There were no clues on the judge's sign, and the hotel staff wore gloves most of the time and tried not to touch items used by customers.
Jing Jue: "There is another more difficult problem. Shi Minjie died accidentally. The other party just took advantage of Shi Minjie's death and asked us police to investigate. In principle, this is not a big problem."
There is no subjective intention to kill, and even if the person is caught, the only thing that can be done is a slight punishment and education.
Lu Changfeng said: "Our ultimate goal is to find out the truth. The judge did not kill anyone, so we cannot force him to be punished. Punishment is not the goal. As of now, the judge cannot classify it as a cult or a terrorist organization. Of course, education is still the main focus."
Jing Jue: "Then let's take action and investigate these people to see who is the real judge."
Lu Changfeng said: "Before that, we have to do another thing first."
"What?"
"First rule out the possibility that this thing was thrown in from outside."
Only by ruling out this possibility can we prove that the items must have been brought in and thrown into the swimming pool by someone who entered.
"I'm going to check the surveillance now. It just so happens that I've already checked all the nearby surveillance cameras to find out who has visited here before."
At this time, Ouyang Ji came in with food, "It's very late. I see you haven't had dinner yet and have been busy with cases. I'll bring you some food."
"If you need our support, just ask."
Lu Changfeng said: "There is indeed something that needs your help right now."
Ouyang immediately pulled out a chair and sat down: "You speak."
"I saw someone mentioned in your visit records that the inspector would bring equipment to record the video to avoid confusion after something happens. Can you help us find the video of the room inspection? We want to confirm whether it is true as they said that the swimming pool was clean at that time."
Ouyang said immediately: "This is a small matter, I will go find it for you now."
About an hour later, Ouyang came back with the resort's video of the room inspection. "The check-in records for the day's room inspection are all here. Their resort's room inspection standards are very strict. After everyone finishes cleaning, they have to take photos of every corner and upload them. Then they have to wait for the internal room inspectors to finish the inspection and sign for confirmation before the review is complete. It's like keeping a double record."
Lu Changfeng checked the sanitation and cleaning records and found that it was just as the hotel said. The staff in charge of cleaning that day did a very good job and there was no foreign matter in the swimming pool.
It can completely rule out items left behind by the previous guest.
Ouyang asked immediately: "Is there anything else I can do?"
"It's not needed for now. You've worked hard, so go and rest early."
The serious crime team continued to watch the surveillance footage.
Since Shi Minjie moved in and the police took over the scene, they confirmed that no one had thrown anything inside and there were no signs of a drone flying over.
Jing Jue stretched lazily: "This confirms that the things must have been brought in by someone. Excluding those who have vested interests on Shi Minjie's side, the only ones left are those from the resort. Can we investigate them?"
Lu Changfeng glanced at the time and saw that it was almost midnight. He said, "Let's go to bed first. We'll talk about it tomorrow after we wake up."
