Chapter 11 No suspicions yet, re-investigate the scene
Lao Du held the porcelain cup and drank half a cup of strong tea in one breath, "That's it, there's nothing suspicious. Where's her boyfriend?"
Xia Jie spread his hands and said, "I came to Jiangzhou with my girlfriend, and I have met Zhou Xinyu twice."
The interrogation room was busy, and Xu Yang and Li Li were not idle either.
"Captain Lin, we have preliminarily verified what Sun Fangfang said, and it is basically true."
Li Li took Xu Yang's words and said, "I contacted their high school teacher and several classmates on the phone. Zhou Xinyu is beautiful, has a good family background, and has good grades. In addition, she had a cheerful personality in high school and had a good relationship with her classmates.
Yes. My classmates and teachers all remember that Zhou Xinyu and Sun Fangfang were indeed inseparable good friends. They were at the same desk for two years and were admitted to Central South University together."
"At the end of 2016, Sun Fangfang went to Huzhou City due to a job transfer, but the two still had relatively frequent contact. Sun Fangfang did not exaggerate. They are indeed extremely close friends."
Lao Du took the information handed over by Xu Yang and looked through it, "Looking at it this way, Zhou Xinyu behaves normally in front of other people, but it makes sense that he only mentioned the idea of suicide to Sun Fangfang."
Everyone nodded subconsciously and agreed with Lao Du's statement.
Only Lin Che, holding her hands, leaned on the table, looked at the WeChat chat records of Zhou Xinyu and Sun Fangfang on the projector, and said nothing.
Zhou Yun and Da Zhuang strode into the office, interrupting Lin Che's contemplation.
Da Zhuang snatched the big enamel cup from Lao Du's hand, and Gulu took a few gulps of tea.
While receiving the water, Zhou Yun asked, "I saw Zhou Xinyu's grandparents in the yard. What clues did they come up with?"
Everyone looked confused. Lin Che walked to the window and saw two old men wearing thick down jackets standing in the yard.
"Xu Yang, go take a look."
After saying that, Lin Che looked at Zhou Yun and Dazhuang, "What's the situation over there?"
Da Zhuang put the cup back into Lao Du's hand, raised his hand to wipe his mouth, and said, "According to our investigation, there have been problems in the operation of this comic website in the past two years. If it weren't for the popular painter Xiao Yu,
It's probably bankrupt."
Li Li clapped his hands, "Xiaoyu's termination of the contract will be a devastating blow to this website. This Wang Qiong has a motive for committing the crime!"
Zhou Yun came over, patted Li Li on the shoulder, and poured a ladle of cold water on him, "But he didn't have time to commit the crime."
"ah?"
"This comic website and short video website have organized a linkage competition. As the editor-in-chief, Wang Qiong went to Chongqing half a month ago. We have verified that Wang Qiong has been working on the judging panel during this time and has not returned to Jiangzhou."
"We asked the comrades from Yucheng to talk to Wang Qiong. He admitted that he said some extreme words, but he was just emotional and didn't really want to do anything to Zhou Xinyu. Captain Lin, do you think we need to bring him back for another trial?"
Lin Che thought for a moment and said, "Da Zhuang, you guys, please take a trip."
"I know Captain Lin."
Xu Yang led Zhou Xinyu's grandparents in, but after only one day, the mental state of the two old people had deteriorated visibly.
"Captain Lin, my grandparents want to see Zhou Xinyu again..."
Xu Yang went to ask and found out that the two old men missed their granddaughter, but were afraid of causing trouble to the police force, so they stood in the yard in the winter, hesitating whether to come in or not.
"Captain Lin, I just want to see Xin Yu again and talk to her. After she is cremated, I won't be able to see her anymore..."
As the old lady spoke, tears flowed from her dry eyes. Her painful and distressed expression made everyone uncomfortable to watch.
"Captain Lin, we don't understand much either. If it doesn't comply with the regulations, we'll go back right now." Grandpa Zhou Xinyu said.
"It doesn't matter. You sit down and have some tea first, and I'll let them make arrangements."
Lin Che said as she glanced at Li Li. Li Li immediately understood and went to the forensic team to ask Liang Ke for help in making arrangements.
"thanks, thanks."
The old lady said thank you several times in succession, and when she bowed, her silver-white hair trembled slightly.
The two old men took two small stools and sat on either side of the freezer, with the heartache and love in their eyes as if they were not looking at a cold corpse.
"Xinyu, are you cold?"
"Last night, the housekeeping aunt made your favorite sweet and sour pork ribs. Your grandfather looked sad and didn't even move his chopsticks."
"Grandma dreamed about you last night. She dreamed about wearing that floral skirt when you were a child and taking you to the park to play..."
Liang Ke glanced at the young apprentice who was sorting information next to him. He just joined the police force this year. He kept secretly wiping his tears with the back of his hand. Let alone him, even an experienced apprentice like Liang Ke who has handled hundreds of cases
Forensic doctor, I felt uncomfortable listening to the old lady's nagging words.
The two old men stayed until dark before Lin Che arranged for someone to take them back.
Xu Yang checked the information of two old people before. They are both retired teachers. They are very reasonable and say thank you when they see people. Even if they are sad, they try not to cause trouble to others. Zhou Xinyu's fear of trouble others is probably something he has learned from childhood.
After searching for a day, nothing useful was found, and the atmosphere in the office was a bit dull.
Lin Che paid for it and asked Li Li to order some midnight snacks for everyone.
Li Li held a take-out box and banged open the door of 1209 with his butt. He stuffed something into his mouth and said, "Captain Lin, the fried noodles at this restaurant are amazing, why don't you come out and eat some?"
The voice of dissatisfaction on the Internet is getting stronger and stronger. This afternoon, some fans of Little Feathers went to the Binjiang Road Police Station to cause trouble. Everyone is feeling a lot of pressure. Of course, the one who is most stressed is Lin Che, who is not in the mood for a midnight snack.
Until now, there is still no definite evidence to prove whether Zhou Xinyu committed suicide or homicide, and the nature of the case is still unclear, which is the most troublesome thing.
Lin Che's desk was full of things - Xiao Yu's comic books, various materials found by Xu Yang, on-site investigation records, forensic reports, confession transcripts...
What he has to do is to find a key thread among these myriad things and clarify the truth.
Lin Che put down the materials in her hands, took the car keys, and said, "Follow me to the site again."
"ah?!"
Li Li raised his head and looked at Lin Che with a confused look on his face, with fried rice noodles still hanging on his lips, "Now?"
"Well, I'll wait for you in the yard."
The last on-site inspection was at noon, and Xiaoyu committed suicide at night. Since I have no ideas now, I might as well go to the scene again.
"Right now!"
Li Li stuffed the remaining half of the box of fried noodles into his mouth and trotted to catch up with Lin Che, almost choking to death.
The heart of Binjiang.
The cold moonlight illuminated the light gray exterior walls of the apartment building pale.
It was very quiet in the corridor, and the creak was particularly noticeable.
One hand pushed open the door of the security passage on the 27th floor. The man who came out was wearing a peaked cap. He looked around to make sure there was no one in the corridor. He gently opened the cordon and pushed the door open to enter the house.
