Chapter 27 Pregnant?
Zhou Yi walked into Zhang Xinli's house again, but saw a completely different scene.
Wu Yongcheng was standing in the living room, Chen Yan was holding two evidence bags, and several policemen were searching the house carefully.
"Are you awake?"
"I'm sorry, Captain Wu. I fell asleep somehow."
"It's a small matter. Police are human beings, not machines."
"What's the situation now?"
Wu Yongcheng pointed to the two evidence bags in Chen Yan's hands and said, "We found clothes and pants that appear to have been worn during the crime, as well as a pair of shoes that matched the footprints left at the scene. But as you suspected, they've been cleaned. It's hard to say whether we can extract the deceased's blood."
Zhou Yi took the two evidence bags handed to him by Chen Yan and took a look. In one bag was a pair of men's Huili shoes. The surface and soles of the shoes had been cleaned. Judging from the traces of fuzz on the uppers, they must have been scrubbed vigorously with a brush.
There was another bag that was heavy with something, which should be a set of men's clothes and pants, in dark gray.
The reason why it was so heavy was that the clothes were still wet. It was obvious that they were hidden away after being washed without being hung out to dry.
"The clothes and shoes all belong to Wang Youfu. Plus the blood-written suicide note Wang Youfu carried with him when he jumped off the building, this proves that he is the murderer." Zhou Yi murmured.
"How is Wang Youfu doing now?"
Qiao Jiali said: "We are still trying to save him. Since he fell headfirst, we don't know if he can be saved."
Wu Yongcheng said: "If he can't be saved, based on the current evidence, I'm afraid he can only be the murderer."
"Where's Zhang Xinli?"
"He's been taken back to the police station. Once the search is complete, we'll go back for questioning."
Zhou Yi looked at Wu Yongcheng and Chen Yan's bloodshot eyes and said, "Captain Wu, Brother Yan, why don't you go to the car and rest for a while? Sister Qiao and I will watch over here."
Wu Yongcheng nodded and said, "Alright, search carefully. We haven't found anything on Biaozi's end yet. If we can't find the murder weapon here, this case will be difficult to handle."
Of course Zhou Yi knew what Wu Yongcheng meant. It was impossible to determine the identity of the person based solely on a pair of shoes that matched the footprints.
Coupled with Wang Youfu's "suicide out of fear of punishment", the case will most likely be concluded.
The investigation of a case is not a result of one plus one equals two. There are many factors involved, including judicial factors, social influence factors, and even the personal will of some leaders above.
"Don't worry, Captain Wu. Even if I dig three feet deep, I'll find the murder weapon."
After Wu Yongcheng and Chen Yan went downstairs, Zhou Yi quickly checked the layout of the entire house, which consisted of two bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen and a bathroom.
The south-facing room is the master bedroom, which is about ten square meters and is furnished with a large wardrobe, a double bed and a dressing table.
The second bedroom faces north and is less than eight square meters. It has a single bed, a wardrobe and a desk.
Zhou Yi checked the wardrobes and bedside tables on both sides to confirm that his previous guess was correct.
Zhang Xinli's clothes were all in the closet in the big room, especially the bedside table in the big room. One side was empty, and the other side was filled with Zhang Xinli's underwear.
All of Wang Youfu's things were in the small room.
How could this be a newlywed couple who had only been married for a month? Even couples who argued to the point of divorce wouldn't be so clear-cut.
Wang Youfu accepted such a frustrating thing. Could it be that he is a born sadist?
But why did Zhang Xinli choose to marry him? To piss off Zhu Xuejun? Perhaps that's a possibility.
But if you are angry, there is no need to really get married, right?
Why not just let Wang Youfu pretend to get married? Wang Youfu will definitely agree.
Moreover, once they get married, wouldn’t Zhang Xinli’s chance of marrying Zhu Xuejun be cut off?
Could it be...
"Sister Qiao, have you found Zhang Xinli's medical records?"
"Medical records? What do you want to check?"
"I suspect Zhang Xinli may be pregnant."
Qiao Jiali was stunned: "Pregnant? Whose?"
"It's most likely Zhu Xuejun's, but I suspect Zhang Xinli may have lied to Wang Youfu, saying the child is his."
Qiao Jiali immediately understood what Zhou Yi meant. If Wang Youfu was certain that Zhang Xinli was pregnant with his child, then he would have the motive to "take the blame" for Zhang Jiali.
Just now, when he heard from Captain Wu that Zhou Yi was "prophetic" and guessed that Wang Youfu jumped off the building to commit suicide out of fear of punishment, she was already surprised.
At the same time, I am also full of curiosity about this newcomer. Are the grassroots police officers who have just started working so amazing?
Now Zhou Yi's guess immediately filled the logical gap in Wang Youfu's sudden suicide by jumping off the building.
"I'll look for it right away." The previous search focus had been on the murder weapon.
Zhou Yi walked into the bathroom and looked at the small space. In his mind, he imagined the scene of Zhang Xinli washing blood-stained clothes and shoes in the bathtub late at night.
Zhang Xinli is a very cautious person. She would use tank after tank of water, add disinfectant, and wash repeatedly until no trace of blood could be washed out.
This was a very time-consuming and energy-consuming process. Even if the two did not sleep in the same room, it would be impossible for Wang Youfu to be unaware of it.
There should be two possibilities.
First, Wang Youfu discovered what Zhang Xinli had done at the time, and out of his one-sided and paranoid love for Zhang Xinli, he chose to help her give false testimony, and then chose to commit suicide to take all the blame and protect Zhang Xinli and the baby in her belly.
But this possibility is not high, because when Zhou Yi and Wu Yongcheng went to find Wang Youfu, they did not find anything abnormal with Wang Youfu.
Given Wang Youfu's personality traits, it's impossible for him to be so cunning as to hide something.
So the second possibility is very likely, that is, Wang Youfu did not discover what Zhang Xinli did at the time.
This is more in line with Zhang Xinli's cautious character. She knows Wang Youfu better than Zhou Yi and others. She can't let Wang Youfu, an uncertain factor, discover that she has killed someone from the beginning. The risk is too high.
Zhou Yi suddenly thought of a possibility: what if Wang Youfu did not commit perjury?
As far as he knew, his wife had indeed not left, because they slept together last night, and when he woke up the next morning, his wife was still sleeping soundly.
Wang Youfu may have been drugged.
It was most likely some kind of anesthetic, as regular sleeping pills took too long to work.
This is also the reason why Wang Youfu looked unhappy and asked for leave to go home when they saw him. Anesthetic drugs can cause side effects.
Because she wanted to return to the hospital gate before Du Xiaolin got off work, follow her and wait for an opportunity to attack.
Hospitals have strict control records for anesthetic drugs, so it should not be difficult to find them.
Now all the details can be connected together, and Zhou Yi has basically sorted out the context of the whole case.
The most crucial thing left is the murder weapon.
"Zhou Yi, we found an ultrasound test report." Qiao Jiali shouted in the room.
Zhou Yi immediately ran over and took the test report handed to him by Qiao Jiali.
"Nine weeks pregnant, twins?"
