Chapter 237 Reasoning About the Suspect
First of all, why are there two people, Yu Huihui and Tang Muqi?
If the murderer is neither Yu Huihui nor Tang Muqi.
There is a fourth person at the crime scene.
Then, the question is.
Why did the other party knock Yu Huihui and Tang Muqi unconscious and take them to the red brick house?
Was it to frame them?
It doesn't seem like it.
First, there were no fingerprints of the two on the bricks used to kill Duan Zhongxin at the scene.
If the murderer intended to frame the two, it would be very simple to stain the bricks with the fingerprints of the two.
However, the other party did not do so.
Second, the direction of the blood spray was wrong.
If the murderer wanted to frame the two or one of them, he would not be so careless as to let the two have the same blood spray marks.
This is actually very easy to solve. You only need to move the two unconscious people farther away or adjust the direction to do it.
However, the murderer did not do this.
Therefore, the possibility that the murderer took the two into the red brick house and deliberately framed them is very small.
However, if it was not to frame them, what was the murderer's purpose?
According to the confessions of Yu Huihui and Tang Muqi, they were both knocked unconscious and taken into the secret room on the night of the 27th.
If the other party only wanted to kill Duan Zhongxin, why did they capture Yu Huihui and Tang Muqi?
It is not easy to capture one person and three people.
Moreover, this will increase the chance of the murderer being exposed.
So why did the murderer do such a thankless task?
It doesn't make sense.
So, Chen Yan is skeptical about whether there is a fourth person at the scene.
As for the possibility of Yu Huihui and Tang Muqi's joint exercise, Chen Yan is more willing to believe the latter.
So, the question now is what is the relationship between the three people.
If Yu Huihui and Tang Muqi are the murderers, why did they kill Duan Zhongxin.
There is no way there is no motive for murder.
Especially since the murderer arranged such a complicated secret room murder scene.
In the end, it must be to hide himself.
After returning to the detective team, Chen Yan presided over a case analysis meeting.
"Captain Hu, how is the background investigation of Yu Huihui and Tang Muqi going?"
This is what Chen Yan is most concerned about.
If the two of them worked together to commit the crime, then there must be a connection or secret between Yu Huihui and Tang Muqi that outsiders don't know.
"This is also the focus of our investigation."
Obviously, Hu Xueying and the others also thought of this.
"Yu Huihui and Tang Muqi are now accusing each other of being the murderer, but the evidence at the scene proves that neither of them seems to be the murderer."
"So, we conducted a detailed investigation into the relationship between the two."
Hu Xueying turned her head and gestured that a detective was operating a computer.
"Team Leader Chen," the projection was turned on, and there were two files. Hu Xueying looked at Chen Yan: "This is the detailed information of Yu Huihui and Tang Muqi."
"From the current point of view, the two had no direct contact before the crime."
"We checked the call records of the two people's mobile phones, and there was no record of calling each other."
"When the crime happened, their mobile phones had been lost and have not been found until now, so we can't investigate the chat records such as WeChat."
Chen Yan nodded, this is indeed the case.
WeChat chat records are not stored on the backend server.
They are all stored in the local user terminal device.
Of course, this does not mean that after deleting WeChat chat records, they cannot be queried.
Through some technical means, relevant records can still be retrieved on the mobile phone.
"Did the two add each other as WeChat friends?"
The mobile phone was lost, so we can only say that we can't find the chat records.
However, if it does not mean that the friendship between the two is also lost.
Hu Xueying shook her head: "We checked this later."
"The two are not WeChat friends."
"Moreover, Tang Muqi is older, and as for WeChat, there is no record of registering other chat software."
From these two points alone, Yu Huihui and Tang Muqi have basically ruled out the possibility of knowing each other.
Of course, it can only be said that it is possible.
There is no contact number and no chat records, so it cannot be said with certainty that the two people do not know each other.
From the information in the file, the factory area that Tang Muqi is responsible for is not far from Haozhailai Restaurant.
Tang Muqi also often eats at Haozhailai Restaurant.
So, the two must have met.
"What about other situations, such as the family situation of the two, personal life situation, especially the private life situation of the two, are there any detailed investigation results?"
"In this regard," Hu Xueying hesitated slightly: "Yu Lingling is single now. She divorced two years ago and now works at Haozaila Restaurant, which is opened by her brother-in-law."
"As for Tang Muqi, he is 56 years old this year and has an old partner who cooks on the construction site."
Chen Yan frowned.
From Hu Xueying's expression and the investigation results of the Yinglu City Detective Team, they did not conduct a particularly in-depth investigation.
After basically confirming that there was no direct relationship between Yu Huihui and Tang Muqi, Hu Xueying and others had obviously given up the speculation that Yu Huihui and Tang Muqi had joined forces to commit the case.
In fact, this is normal.
From a normal point of view, if Yu Huihui and Tang Muqi really joined forces to commit the case, then from the planning and implementation of the case to the final conclusion, the two could not have no obvious connection.
But, in Killer Eucalyptus, nothing is impossible.
However, Chen Yan did not speak after listening to the reports from Hu Xueying and others.
He came to Yinglu City this time to help at the invitation of Hu Xueying.
There is no pressure to solve the case, or instructions from the Liao Provincial Detective Brigade.
Since you are helping, you must have a helpful attitude.
Just give me some suggestions and help Hu Xueying and the others solve the problem.
Of course, Chen Yan certainly hopes to break the news.
But the system reward is a life.
Therefore, Chen Yan did not make work arrangements immediately, but asked about another thing.
"Captain Hu, the reporter at the time...the security captain Zhang Baoshan...did he conduct an investigation?"
Yes, that's the security captain Zhang Baoshan.
this person……
Although there is currently no suspicion of foul play, he said at the time that he heard calls for help on the night of the 27th.
However, because I drank some wine that night, I didn’t take it seriously.
I knew something would happen the next morning, so I chose to report it.
Is this... normal?
Of course it's normal.
It’s perfectly normal to report calls for help.
However, don't forget Zhang Baoshan's profession.
He is the security captain of an area in the logistics park.
When you hear a cry for help, or an uncertain cry for help, do you call the police immediately?
If a body was found, there would definitely be no problem if he reported it directly.
However, calling the police because of Mohu's cry for help at night was a bit of a fuss for a security guard.
Moreover, he is the security captain himself. Under normal circumstances, shouldn't he call his subordinates to check first?
There is another point that makes Chen Yan feel that it is a bit too coincidental.
Yu Huihui and Tang Muqi were in coma all night, and they woke up just after Zhang Baoshan reported his death?
You know, the two of them don't sleep naturally, and they can be woken up by any movement.
Both of them were poisoned by ether.
Judging from the test and analysis report, the amount of ether inhaled by the two people was not low.
There is no such thing as pretending to be comatose.
Therefore, when the detectives arrived, the ether in their bodies had almost been metabolized, so after hearing the banging on the door, they called for help again.
The timing of this report was a bit too coincidental.
You know, it was already 9 o'clock.
Zhang Baoshan said in his transcript that he woke up at 7 o'clock that day.
Then why not just call the police when you wake up.
Do you have to wait until nine o'clock?
Therefore, Zhang Baoshan...
There are also doubts!
