Chapter 53
Olivia's DNA did not match the female DNA found in the bloodstains in the cabin. Moreover, according to Olivia's confession, she lived in Xiang Siling's home during the days when Liu Huaixin, Qian Chengfeng, and Shang Ren Luolong stayed in Heili Peak. The surveillance cameras at Xiang Siling's home and the surveillance cameras entering and leaving the community all proved her innocence.
Xiang Siling's blonde nanny was ruled out as a suspect, and the police's suspicion was in the wrong direction.
And that half of golden hair was also sent to the laboratory. The conclusion is: it is pure, native blonde hair, belonging to the European and American race. In other words, it is not made of artificial synthetic materials, nor is it blonde hair dyed from other colors.
Ding Guoqiang immediately convened a third meeting to study the case. The meeting had three main topics:
First, about Xiang Siling.
So far, the case of Luo Hongmin has been settled, and the murderer has been identified as Xiang Siling, who is still at large. Moreover, according to the preliminary investigation by the police, Xiang Siling was on a business trip during the time of Liu Huaixin's death and had a clear alibi, so he had nothing to do with this.
Previously, because of the blonde hair in the cabin, the police suspected that Xiang Siling might be the real culprit behind the scene. But it has now been confirmed that the blonde nanny was just a coincidence and there is no basis to support it. Her escape was more like she realized that something was about to happen to Lu Xing and ran away in time.
But Xiang Siling was with the serial killer for 35 minutes when Qian Chengfeng died, and concealed the truth for the killer and put the blame on Luo Long. This remains in doubt, making her relationship with the live broadcast trio and the serial killer confusing.
The police also had a heated discussion about the blonde hair and female DNA in the cabin. There were two main views:
1. There was indeed a blonde woman present at the time of the incident. It is not yet certain whether she is the killer.
Second, the killer in this case is good at creating illusions. The blonde hair and female bloodstains were all obtained by him to confuse the police.
More people support the second view. Chen Pu and Li Qingyao did not express their opinions.
The second topic is a report on a new case derived from this case——
The night before yesterday, a home robbery and rape occurred in a small mountain village on the border of Xiangcheng and Guizhou Province. That mountain village is vast and sparsely populated, with very few residents. There is only one family living on the mountain, their surname is Xie. At 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, two masked gangsters sneaked into Xie's house, one with a knife and the other with a stick, and robbed some money.
Including two mobile phones, several thick clothes, a hatchet, 2,000 yuan in cash, two gold necklaces, a gold ring, and some food and water. During the robbery, the two men injured the male owner and gang-raped the 35-year-old female owner and 14-year-old daughter. The 6-year-old son was slapped and tied up.
The results of on-site DNA monitoring showed that the two masked gangsters were the fugitive Luo Long and Shang Ren.
Unlike Xiangcheng, Guizhou Province is located on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, with vast mountainous areas, dense forests and more dangerous terrain. On the second night after the incident, relatives of the Xie family came to visit and found the Xie family members tied up together. They immediately reported the case to the police. According to the analysis of the Guizhou Provincial Police, the two criminals have fled to the deep mountains and they have mobilized forces to launch a search and capture operation. Since Guizhou Province had previously received a request for assistance from the Xiangcheng police, they immediately fed back the information and asked them to send police officers who were more familiar with the two criminals to the front line for joint pursuit.
As soon as the news was announced, the meeting fell silent.
Luo Long and Shang Ren were probably being hunted by the mysterious killer and were forced to flee. But these two men are not good people either. One has a long criminal record with a tendency to commit violent and sexual crimes, and the other has been in prison for more than 20 years and is completely out of touch with society and has no modern legal awareness. This is tantamount to letting a tiger return to the mountains.
Zhou Yangxin spoke up at this time: "You say, maybe the killer's goal is to force Luo Long and Shang Ren to commit crimes. He knows that these two people are forced into a desperate situation and will definitely commit crimes. Then he can use the police to arrest them and punish them."
Some were silent, some agreed.
Li Qingyao objected: "I don't think so. If cutting the wrist and bleeding has a unique meaning for the killer, then he must want to kill Luo Long himself. 99 steps out of 100 have been taken. There is no reason to leave Luo Long to the police to decide his fate now."
Zhou Yangxin slapped his head and said, "That's right! In other words, the killer is probably still chasing them? So we have to not only catch them, but also the killer who wants to kill them! The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind?"
"This is no longer a case within a case." Fang Hao said while smoking a cigarette with two big dark circles under his eyes, "This is a case within a case within a case. Xiang Siling is one layer, the serial murder case is another layer, and Li Yu's death that year is another layer."
Everyone smiled helplessly.
"Okay, the third thing." Ding Guoqiang looked around with a cold gaze, "We have found out Li Yu's identity. Her real name is Liu Tingmei. She disappeared from the village nine years ago. The live broadcast trio declared her dead seven years ago. She has not been seen since then.
At present, all we know is that she has diabetes, and no other information is available. Judging from those videos, Liu Tingmei's reaction is slow and she may have mental retardation, which needs to be verified. Is this person alive or dead? If he died, was it due to complications of diabetes caused by eating live streaming? Then Qian Chengfeng and the other two would be held criminally responsible for her death; if she were alive, where is she? Her family, friends, or if there is still a lover, have the motivation and ability to become this highly intelligent killer and avenge her. ”
Everyone discussed it for a while.
However, although the case seems confusing, the experienced detectives still have the feeling that they are moving forward in the fog and are getting closer to the core truth step by step.
Next, it is Lao Ding's turn to take the direction and assign tasks.
"Team One, continue to track down Xiang Siling." Lao Ding said, "This is a confirmed murderer, and she is also involved with an entrepreneur. The city has always taken this very seriously. Apply for a wanted warrant and make sure she is arrested as soon as possible."
"yes!"
"Chen Pu, Fang Hao, the two of you take the main forces of Team 2 and Team 3 and head to Guizhou Province. Luo Long and Shang Ren are our prisoners. We cannot let Guizhou Province look down on them. We must capture them."
They both answered in unison: "Yes."
Ding Guoqiang pondered for a while, and Chen Pu asked: "What about Liu Tingmei? Or I should stay here to investigate this end first, and then go to Guizhou Province to meet up with Fang Hao."
Ding Guoqiang glanced at him and shook his head: "We don't need you. Just like Zhou Yangxin said, the killer might have fled to Guizhou Province. You must not only catch Luo Longshangren, but also keep an eye out for serial killers. We must have enough manpower. We can't lose people halfway. It will embarrass me. Li Qingyao, you stay. I will assign someone from elsewhere to check on Liu Tingmei. Make sure to investigate thoroughly. Maybe we can find key evidence to identify the killer."
Li Qingyao: “Yes!”
