Chapter 403 Investigating Xiao Bing
"Zhou Yi?" A man passing by the door stopped, took a look and asked.
Zhou Yi turned around and saw that the man looked unfamiliar, but he had just seen him at the meeting.
Wang Yao, a forensic expert sent by the provincial department.
Zhou Yi immediately stood up and greeted him: "Hello, Teacher Wang."
The two shook hands.
Wang Yao smiled and said, "Teacher Qin called me and told me about your situation."
Zhou Yi didn't know what Qin Beihai said specifically, so he could only thank Mr. Qin for his help.
Wang Yao is in his forties and is much older than Zhou Yi in both age and position.
But because of Qin Beihai's relationship, he felt like he was talking to Zhou Yi as an equal. Although he didn't know what Qin Beihai said to his student, Zhou Yi was still quite touched.
Zhou Yixin said that he would have to go to the provincial capital more often in the future to visit the two old people.
He knew that no matter how he expressed his gratitude, it was not what Qin Beihai and his lover wanted. What they really wanted no longer existed in this world.
As a three-point substitute, all I can do is give them some comfort. After all, older people are more likely to have wild thoughts.
"If you encounter any difficulties again, you can come to me at any time." Wang Yao patted Zhou Yi's shoulder.
"Thank you, Mr. Qin, for your affirmation of me." Zhou Yi expressed his sincere gratitude.
After seeing Wang Yao off, Chen Yan was a little confused, because the three of them were actually a little unclear about the situation regarding Captain Wu being reported and Zhou Yi joining the special task force.
After hearing what Wang Yao said just now, Chen Yan hurriedly asked, "Zhou Yi, the teacher Qin that Forensic Doctor Wang mentioned, is he Mr. Qin Beihai?"
During the last Donghai Community Second Case, Old Qin came to Hongcheng to help. At that time, Chen Yan and Jiang Biao followed Wu Yongcheng to the provincial capital, so they had never met him, but he had naturally heard of Qin Beihai's name.
"Well, the reason I was able to successfully join the task force this time was because Mr. Qin personally recommended me to the provincial and departmental leaders." Zhou Yi said while eating.
"Ah?" Chen Yan was shocked. "Did you know Mr. Qin before?"
"I met Mr. Qin during the Tang Xue case last time. When I asked you about further studies, it was Mr. Qin who gave me the advice."
"Just... having met you once, Mr. Qin is willing to help you?"
Zhou Yi looked up and saw Chen Yan's face full of disbelief. He smiled and said, "I just hugged your thighs well, hehe."
After dinner, Zhou Yi and Chen Yan started to work.
The Xiao Bing line is not the focus of investigation at the moment.
As a new member of the task force, Zhou Yi naturally could not directly interfere with the work assigned by others.
Director Xie gave him this clue to investigate. Zhou Yi felt that it was not only because he was the one who raised this doubt, but also because Xiao Bing was the only teacher of Hongda who was currently suspected.
Zhou Yi learned that the inquiry work for all students and teachers of the 1996 financial management major is still ongoing, and this work is mainly led by Ni Jianrong.
If any abnormal situation is found, all members of the task force will be immediately synchronized to conduct analysis and in-depth investigation.
If no abnormalities are found and there are no intersections with other clues, then proceed normally. After all inquiries are completed, the information will be sorted and archived for review by all task force members.
In theory, this work would not be much different from the previous life, because the problems faced by all teachers and students are basically the same.
"What kind of person do you think Xu Liu is?"
"How is your relationship with Xu Liu?"
"When was the last time you spoke to her?"
"Where were you between the evening of April 28th and the evening of April 30th? Can anyone provide proof?"
"Do you know who Xu Liu had a conflict with?"
"Have you ever seen Xu Liu with any strange males on or near the school?"
The questions about Xu Liu's roommates will be more detailed, such as whether Xu Liu has daily contact with anyone, including phone calls and letters; whether she has any abnormal emotions and behaviors; whether she has mentioned anyone who is closely related to her, etc.
The reason why this work cannot be done quickly is that, firstly, there are a large number of people to be questioned, and secondly, repeated cross-confirmation is required to prevent someone from lying or concealing information.
There was one thing that made Zhou Yi feel a little guilty, although it was also expected.
Lu Xiaoshuang's second uncle said that around 10:00 PM on April 30th, a middle-aged man in his forties came to her house and asked if she was home. He claimed to be a teacher at school, but when she said she wasn't, he left without a word. However, it was too dark, and there were no streetlights in the compound, so her second uncle couldn't see what the man looked like.
The task force believed that this person was very suspicious and needed to be investigated in depth, so they specifically screened and matched middle-aged faculty and staff at Hongda University.
Those who did not have a clear alibi during that time period that night were asked to be identified by appearance and voice by Lu Xiaoshuang's second uncle.
It's a pity that there has been no progress so far.
However, only Zhou Yi knew that this line would lead to no results, because this person was not a teacher in the school at all, but Qian Hongxing sent by himself.
But judging from the results, Qian Hongxing was cautious enough and was not exposed.
Zhou Yi planned to find time to review these investigation records again. After all, time and the deceased had changed compared to his previous life, so the investigation records would definitely be different.
Even if it is just a pile of grass ashes, you have to dig it out to see if there is anything hidden inside.
Regarding the investigation into Xiao Bing, Zhou Yi felt that at this point, there was no need for any external investigation.
I was worried before that the school would not cooperate, but now it doesn’t matter.
So Zhou Yi and Chen Yan discussed it and decided that there were three key areas of investigation.
First, the Third Municipal Hospital!
Zhou Yi met Xiao Bing for the first time there. He had prescribed some medicine, which fell out of the bag when he bumped into Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi also helped to pick up the items at that time, but because his wound was in the abdomen, it was a bit of a burden for him to bend over or squat, so Xiao Bing mainly picked up the items by himself.
Zhou Yi picked up a box of medicine and handed it to Xiao Bing immediately.
He now regrets not having taken a look at the name on the medicine.
Otherwise you can follow the map and search backwards.
Second, Xiao Bing’s home.
Xiao Bing's home is in the old city area near Daguan Street. Zhou Yi had been there before to look for someone. The houses there are very old and the terrain is very complicated. There are alleys that are not even recorded on the map.
In terms of conditions, it can meet the requirement of an independent dismemberment site.
Because Zhou Yi had seen that the houses in that area were all independent old houses next to each other, unlike the residential areas that had public areas and corridors.
Moreover, in the previous life, the human head was found in the sewer of Daguan Street, which was very close to Xiao Bing's home. It is not ruled out that after the body was dismembered, it was thrown into a nearby manhole cover in a panic.
Afterwards, they felt that if they threw the bodies nearby, it would easily arouse the police's suspicion, so they began to dispose of the bodies in different places to divert attention.
As for the murder weapon found in the mine, Qin Beihai's student, forensic doctor Wang Yao, made a guess that the murder weapon might not be just this kitchen knife, and there might be other murder weapons.
Theoretically, it would be very difficult to carry out all crimes of this magnitude with just a kitchen knife, as the delicate cutting of the human body requires very high standards of tools.
This type of kitchen knife is more suitable for chopping off the joints of limbs and dismembering large pieces.
Slicing human flesh should be done with sharper and more handy knives.
If the actual situation is consistent with what Wang Yao said, then Lu Xiaoshuang's suspicion will be reduced.
Because no murderer would dispose of the body or the murder weapon except one.
The real murderer only used an old kitchen knife to frame Lu Xiaoshuang, which shows that the murderer believed that the police could not find him with this old kitchen knife.
On the contrary, it means that another kitchen knife may lead to the murderer's identity being exposed.
Therefore, for Xiao Bing, who has a place to live and lives alone, the most effective way is for Zhou Yi to go to Xiao Bing's house in person.
But at the moment, they were only suspicious of Xiao Bing and it was impossible to search him directly.
The third point is Xiao Bing himself.
Although according to the current scope of the investigation, he belongs to the peripheral group who has no connection with Xu Liu, but as a teacher at Hongda, so many days have passed and it is impossible that he has not heard from his colleagues around him that a female student named Xu Liu was murdered.
Positive communication is definitely the best way to observe the other person's reaction.
As for Xiao Bing's leaders and colleagues, their priority is not that high and they can be placed at the back as a reference to verify Xiao Bing's confession.
Zhou Yi laid out all his thoughts and told Chen Yan.
Chen Yan thought for a moment and said, "If that's the case, then I suggest we combine the second and third points. For now, we shouldn't look for Xiao Bing, because he's definitely at school right now. Why don't we wait until after get off work tonight and go directly to his house to find him. We can say we want to find out more about the situation, and he won't turn us away. Unless, he's guilty!"
Zhou Yi nodded repeatedly: "Brother Yan, I think exactly the same as you. What time does Hongda's teacher usually get off work?"
"I know that. Normally it's five o'clock."
Zhou Yi calculated the time and found that Lu Xiaoshuang would be sent to the Municipal Bureau for formal interrogation at around seven o'clock.
Although time is a bit tight, if there are no emergencies, I should be able to rush back to the bureau.
Director Xie didn't ask him to participate in the interrogation of Lu Xiaoshuang, but he also didn't say he wasn't allowed to.
Moreover, in this situation, Lu Xiaoshuang came back and saw herself first, which gave her peace of mind.
Of course, in this situation, I definitely can't say anything to Lu Xiaoshuang. Then I can only see whether she can understand my eyes and expressions.
"Okay, then let's go to the hospital first. If we have time, we can go to the neighborhood committee on Daguan Street to find out more about the situation," said Zhou Yi.
Chen Yan said, "Wait a minute. I'll get Xiao Bing's personal information provided by the school. You can look at it on the way."
On the way to the Third Municipal Hospital, Chen Yan drove the car while Zhou Yi sat in the passenger seat looking at Xiao Bing's photocopied documents.
There are two copies of the information, one is the faculty and staff information, and the other is Xiao Bing's academic information when he was in school.
Xiao Bing was admitted to the French Department of Hongda University in 1983. In the 1980s, French was no longer considered a minor language. The main majors at that time were English, Russian, Japanese, German and French.
Since the country entered the reform and opening up period in 1977-1978, the demand for talents proficient in foreign languages has greatly increased. Therefore, foreign language majors were the most popular among liberal arts majors in those years, followed by finance, law and journalism.
Therefore, for Xiao Bing, who became a loner at the age of sixteen, applying for a popular major and staying on to work at the school after graduation were both relatively safe choices.
From this perspective, Xiao Bing's personality should be relatively conservative and stable, which shows that he is very clear about his situation.
A person's character and true inner thoughts can actually be seen from the major decisions he makes in life, and the possibility of sudden changes is not high.
Unless something special happened.
