Volume 4: From Afar Chapter 729: Liu Xiao and Heaven's Punishment
After leaving Sihai Trading Company, Sun Yu and Xiang Fei drove directly to the place where Mengmeng lived.
The address was given by Zhu Laosi, and it can be seen from Zhu Laosi's attitude that the address is genuine.
On the special case team, Xia Lan also set off with a forensic doctor. Originally, Sun Yu didn't have to go to Mengmeng's home, but after the confrontation with Zhu Laosi, Sun Yu became very interested in Mengmeng.
Zhu Laosi is a veteran of the world, and he has a strong aura of the world. Sun Yu's initial judgment of him is that he is an absolutely self-centered person.
Just as Sun Yu questioned Zhu Laosi, Mengmeng is just one of his subordinates, and he should not go to war for one of his subordinates.
From Sun Yu's point of view, the only reasonable explanation is that Mengmeng has a big secret involving Zhu Laosi's other cases. He only asked Sun Yu to tell him who the murderer was, which shows that Zhu Laosi thinks someone is targeting him.
The purpose of Sun Yu going to Mengmeng's house was to try his luck and see if he could find Zhu Laosi's secret through clues.
This probability is relatively small. People like Zhu Laosi have a strong desire for control. He must know the situation of Mengmeng's residence, so he dared to let Sun Yu check it out.
"Brother Yu, do you really plan to tell Zhu Laosi the identity of the murderer?" Xiang Fei, who was driving, asked after listening to Sun Yu's analysis.
"Just an inconsequential person." Sun Yu smiled, "He would have found out through his connections. Why can't he earn this money?"
One hundred thousand dollars, for Zhu Laosi, just buys peace of mind. Of course, if this case is not a murder of passion, but a premeditated crime, then Zhu Laosi's money will be well spent.
However, the fact that Sun Yu dared to ask for this money proved that he was 100% sure that this was a murder of passion. The murderer was most likely to have a relationship with Mengmeng, and Zhu Laosi did not know the existence of this person.
Mengmeng lived in a loft apartment. When the two arrived, Xia Lan and the forensic doctor had already entered Mengmeng's residence.
At this point, Mengmeng’s personal information has also come out. Her full name is Li Mengmeng, from Northern Province, 21 years old.
Mengmeng's room has a duplex layout, with the living room on the first floor and two not-so-spacious bedrooms on the second floor. One of the two bedrooms has traces of life, and the other has been converted into a study.
Sun Yu checked Mengmeng's wardrobe and found that the clothes in it were all from very common brands, which were very different from the famous brand skirts worn by the deceased.
Obviously, this fraud gang is very professional and has a separate makeup and grooming process. The clothes they choose are not purchased by themselves to prevent someone from finding them through the clothes after being exposed later.
Not only that, Sun Yu found that Mengmeng's cosmetics were also very average. To be honest, he really felt that these cosmetics were not worthy of Mengmeng's innocent appearance.
Sun Yu went to the study room on the second floor. The so-called study room was just a single bed put up, and a desk with a bookshelf and a chair were placed in the free space.
The desk is a low-quality desk, with stains on the outer edges and corners. These stains are caused by the frequent friction caused by sitting here reading, writing, and eating. The paint on other parts is very complete. Sun Yu does not think it is a second-hand desk.
desk.
It seems that Mengmeng often sits at this desk. So, what is she doing sitting here?
Sun Yu's eyes fell on the bookshelf. They were all books related to history, as well as some professional books on ancient painting appreciation.
Out of a detective's intuition, Sun Yu took out a book on ancient painting appreciation and opened it. He found that there were many marks on it.
Sun Yu frowned, and then took down the books from the bookshelf and looked through them. All the books had obvious signs of being read.
A female liar loves learning so much? What she studies is the appreciation of ancient paintings? Are they trying to scam people about ancient paintings?
Thinking of this, Sun Yu himself shook his head.
What age has it been? There are so many experts in identifying ancient paintings now, and the real collectors are professionals. It is almost impossible to deceive them.
Of course, if Zhu Laosi just wanted to use fake ancient paintings on the street to deceive some speculators, Sun Yu would have nothing to say.
That kind of outdated fraud method can only defraud tens of thousands of people at most. If he even cares about those tens of thousands of dollars, Sun Yu can only say that he thinks highly of Zhu Laosi.
There is another possibility that Mengmeng really likes ancient paintings, which is her hobby.
After walking out of the study, Sun Yu went downstairs, and this time he came to the kitchen.
The kitchen space is very small, but there are all kinds of firewood, rice, oil, salt, pots and pans, and many of the spices are almost gone, which shows that Mengmeng often cooks at home.
Thinking about the tidy and clean appearance of the house, if Sun Yu hadn't known that she was a liar, Sun Yu would have thought that she was a good girl who was diligent and thrifty.
"Why would such a person be willing to be a liar under Zhu Laosi?" Xia Lan came behind Sun Yu at some point and said what Sun Yu was thinking at the moment.
Since Xia Lan asked this, she obviously also saw through the details in the room that Mengmeng did not look like a liar.
Sun Yu shook his head slightly, "Everyone has their own difficulties. If you want to know these, you can only find a way to understand Mengmeng's past."
The forensic doctor continued to search for biological traces in the room, and Sun Yu and Xia Lan went to the property of the community to investigate and monitor.
The surveillance in the community was quite comprehensive, and the two quickly found Mengmeng's traces.
The day before Mengmeng's death, that is, at six o'clock in the evening the day before yesterday, Mengmeng, dressed simply, appeared under surveillance at the gate carrying a white belt.
Mengmeng returned home. After about an hour, Mengmeng put on the same dress as the deceased, put on makeup on her face, and left the community.
"She put on makeup and changed clothes, obviously going to meet someone." Xia Lan murmured. As a woman, she could feel Mengmeng's mood at that time, especially after seeing her eager smile under surveillance.
Sun Yu nodded, "And it's not to cheat, because Zhu Laosi doesn't know the whereabouts of Mengmeng at all. It seems that Mengmeng is going on a date. She is dressed up like this, so she must be going to meet her boyfriend, right?"
Xia Lan recorded the time when Mengmeng went out, and then sent this time node to Wang Lan, asking Wang Lan to investigate the road monitoring outside the community.
If we just talk about Mengmeng's death, it is over in Sun Yu's opinion. As long as the identity of Mengmeng's mysterious boyfriend can be determined, everything will come to light.
Sun Yu even deduced the motive of her boyfriend's murder.
Mengmeng is a liar and must reply to the messages of those who were deceived. After she and her boyfriend went to Wushan together, her boyfriend discovered that she was having an affair with another man and impulsively killed her.
This is completely consistent with the factors of passion killing - killing someone in a rage because their lover cheated on him.
