Chapter 398 Murder Case 4
After listening to what Chen Jiangong asked on the phone, Fan Jian reread the file, analyzed the case, and thought about the meaning of the director's question. Unfortunately, he thought about it for half the night, but still couldn't figure out what the sentence had to do with the murderer.
Chen Jiangong brought Ziyi and others into the police station, but were stopped by the militia on duty. When they learned that it was the director who came, they immediately led the way to Fan Jian's room.
"Fan Jian, hurry up, take us to the crime scene." Chen Jiangong said this when he saw Fan Jian.
When Fan Jian saw his boss coming, he immediately stood up and asked in surprise, "Director, why are you here?"
He saw Ziyi and Yike again and was even more surprised, "Ziyi, Yike, why are you here too?"
While greeting Ziyi and his wife, Fan Jian asked his men who came in after hearing the noise to prepare the car.
"Hurry up, take your guns and people and go together." Chen Jiangong said again.
Fan Jian took his small pistol and a few of his men and rushed out the door again.
If she had known that they were going to set off again without even taking a break, she would not have gotten off the car just now, and it was in vain that she got off the car and suffered the cold.
Chen Jiangong told Fan Jian about his suspicion in the car. Fan Jian did not expect that the murderer was actually the suspect's cousin, the one who was jumping up and down to help his cousin clear the suspicion.
They arrived at the bomb shelter and Yi Ke had to reenact the crime scene, with her playing the murderer.
Han Yuan, who plays the role of a living person, and his friend arrive near the air-raid shelter. The murderer (played by Yi Ke) knocks out the two people with drugs, takes off the clothes of the dead person and puts them on himself, then the murderer carries Han Yuan into the air-raid shelter (the person playing the role of Han Yuan walks in), and the murderer locks the air-raid shelter from the inside (note, it is now from the inside, in order to make it easier to get out after the murder, and also to let Han Yuan know that the door is locked. But Han Yuan can't see it, so he thinks it is locked from the outside.)
The suspect woke up and found himself and his friend fainted on the dark ground. Panic made him shout his friend's name (the deceased).
The murderer who pretended to be the deceased also pretended to be panicked after being woken up, and his voice was sharp and high-pitched so that the suspect could not hear the difference in the voice. (The suspect simply thought his friend Wang Si was scared, so he didn’t pay attention to the slight difference in the voice.)
Finally, the two of them looked for the door to exit together. The deceased Wang Si found the door first (the murderer already knew where the door was, and he could only take the next step if he found it first), and shook the door hard until it made a bang, proving that the door was locked from the outside (in fact, it was locked from the inside). This is why the murderer had to find the door first, to prevent Han Yuan from touching the door lock.
The murderer who pretended to offend Wang Si deliberately said that he could not go out, and locked the door with a wooden stick, so that he would not be afraid of people outside coming in in the dark to harm them. The wooden stick was found by Han Yuan, and was inserted into the door bolt by the murderer who pretended to be Wang Si. Finally, Han Yuan fell asleep, and he gave Han Yuan a sleeping pill again, making Han Yuan sleep even more deeply.
The murderer who pretended to have an affair with Wang Si removed the bolt, opened the lock, moved Wang Si in from outside, smashed Wang Si's head with a stone, then searched Han Yuan's body for the note, magnifying glass and book, took off Han Yuan's watch, left the air-raid shelter, and locked the door from the outside.
The most ingenious thing is that before closing the door, the murderer left the wooden stick hanging on one side of the bolt and did not insert it into the bolt slot on the other side.
The murderer did this so that someone would wake Han Yuan up the next day. Han Yuan would be in a hurry to be rescued, and his first reaction would be to pull the wooden stick out.
It was pitch black in the air-raid shelter. In the darkness, Han Yuan couldn't tell whether the wooden stick was inserted into the bolt slot or not. He only remembered that the door was bolted last night, and the wooden stick was still on the bolt this morning.
Han Yuan pulled out the wooden stick on the door, and the only flaw disappeared.
When Chen Jiangong, Fan Jian and other police officers saw this, they understood that the living Han Yuan was not the murderer, so who was the murderer?
"But there is another flaw here. If Han Yuan hadn't opened the door first, the people outside would have naturally discovered that the door was not bolted, and Han Yuan could not be identified as the murderer." Fan Jian said.
"Yes, this is the key point. That's why the murderer must wake Han Yuan up first, and then break the lock after Han Yuan pulls out the bolt." Yike said.
"The first person to discover Han Yuan was his cousin. He was busy banging on the door at the time. He waited for Han Yuan to come in and pull out the bolt. After he spoke, he joined the others in breaking the door lock." When Fan Jian said this, everyone showed an expression of disbelief.
"How about you do an experiment to see if the rescuers will first call for someone to open the door before breaking the lock, or will they break the lock while calling for help?" Yi Ke suggested.
Fan Jicheng immediately sent people to conduct experiments. After several experiments, they found that the first reaction of the rescuers was to pry the lock first, instead of spending a long time to wake up the person before prying the lock. They were also in no mood to ask the other party whether two people had bolted the door together. (If the murderer had blocked Han Yuan's door and did not admit that the door was bolted after discovering the victim's death, it could not be determined that the victim was killed by Han Yuan. It was possible that someone from outside had sneaked in and killed him.) They would only rush to save people.
Who is the murderer? According to this deduction, it suddenly became clear that he was Han Yuan's cousin.
"Although we already know who the murderer is, we can't arrest him without evidence," Fan Jian said in embarrassment.
"If the magnifying glass and the book have not been destroyed, you can go to the murderer's home to look for them. What if he left them there? And didn't Han Yuan say that his watch was missing too? Isn't the word 'Yuan' engraved on the inside cover of the watch? If you find them, you won't be able to make excuses." The police officer who played Han Yuan suggested.
"What you said makes sense. Let's give it a try." Fan Jian asked someone to notify the murderer and ask him to persuade Han Yuan to admit his crime. Those who confess will be treated leniently, while those who resist will be treated severely.
After the murderer left home, Fan Jian immediately took people to search his house.
Sure enough, the magnifying glass, the book, and Han Yuan's watch were found in the secret compartment of his closet.
The murderer admitted the crime in the face of evidence, and his motive for murder was actually jealousy.
Han Yuan is a descendant of the family and is capable, so all the family resources are inclined towards him. The murderer was not from the Di family. Even though he was smart and capable, the family did not invest resources in him.
The murderer thought that if he killed Han Yuan, no one among the younger generation would be able to compare to him, and then those resources would have to be given to him. For the future prosperity of the family, they would have to train him.
In the final analysis, this was a murder case caused by jealousy, and the victim died unjustly for no reason.
Chen Jiangong and Fan Jian were instrumental in solving this case and both were very grateful to him.
Fan Jian even went to the nearby mountains to catch two rabbits, and personally cooked a meal of braised rabbit meat for Ziyi and Yike to have dinner with. At the dinner table, they talked about the reward for Yike again. Yike finally found an opportunity to say that as long as he had more money, it would be fine, and other false reputations didn't matter.
Chen Jiangong laughed out loud. It turned out that Yike was a little money-grubber. Now he knew how to reward Yike. After being troubled for several days, Chen Jiangong finally stopped worrying about how to reward Yike.
This mysterious case was solved, and Yike thought everything was fine and he could go home, but he was tripped up again...
