Chapter 462 Two Clues Interrupted (Two in One, Please Vote at the End of January!)
In addition, since the murderer chose to use large grains of salt to treat Han Long's flesh and blood, this shows that the murderer is likely to be from the south.
Northerners only have the habit of pickling sauerkraut, and in winter, they rarely have the habit of pickling meat.
In addition, the murderer used the flesh and blood of another victim to make a braised lion head...
There is no obvious regional difference in this dish, but to be able to cook such a dish, the murderer must have good cooking skills.
Making braised lion head requires more than just kneading the meat into a ball and stewing it.
In that case the meatballs will definitely fall apart.
Making this dish doesn't matter how it tastes. As long as the lion's head can be formed, it means that there are many steps involved in making braised lion's head.
If you haven’t studied it specifically or studied it, you won’t be able to do it at all.
So is it possible that the murderer’s profession is that of a chef?
Of course, not all chefs are good at cooking, and Chen Yan is just a simple portrait of a murderer.
Everyone didn't rest that night. Chen Yan was sorting out the entire case, hoping to find something new from the existing clues. Others were also advancing their respective tasks.
It wasn't until 4 o'clock in the morning that Chen Yan lay on his desk and squinted for a while.
9 o'clock in the morning.
To Chen Yan's surprise, the DNA information of the human tissue found in the lion's head was successfully compared.
In the conference room, Liu Qingshan was reporting on the relevant comparison: "We successfully compared the DNA information found in the lion's head in the missing persons information database."
On the projection is a photo of a young woman.
"Zhang Yao, 26 years old, female, from Sichuan Province, is from the same village as the deceased Han Long."
"Zhang Yao?"
"Who reported him missing?"
"Things are a little strange..."
It turns out that Zhang Yao's disappearance was not entered into the system recently, but was missing information three years ago. Moreover, the place of the report was not in Yinglu City, but in Zhang Yao's hometown of Sichuan Province, and the case has been closed.
"Three years ago, Zhang Yao's parents reported Zhang Yao missing, and the local detective team collected the DNA information of Zhang Yao's parents at that time."
"But they took the initiative to withdraw the case one month after the report was made. According to the record of the reasons for withdrawing the case, the other party had already found Zhang Yao."
"Have you verified the specific situation with Sichuan Province?"
"Last night, after the DNA information comparison was successful, I contacted my colleagues there overnight."
"I just received the dossier from over there."
Handing the materials to Chen Yan, Liu Qingshan continued to report verbally: "Three years ago, Zhang Yao's disappearance was actually due to her running away from home."
"The reason is that Zhang Yao's parents arranged a marriage for her, but Zhang Yao didn't agree and ran away from home."
"The other party ran away from home and came to Yinglu City. The local detective team found Zhang Yao's whereabouts based on the train ticket Zhang Yao booked at that time, and then contacted the detective team in Yinglu City."
"But Yinglu City has always been a city with a relatively large migrant population and a very large migrant population. It is very difficult to investigate. Zhang Yao has never been found here."
"It wasn't until one month after Zhang Yao's parents reported the crime that Zhang Yao took the initiative to contact her family."
"After confirming that my daughter was safe, the case was withdrawn. However, according to feedback from the Sichuan Provincial Detective Team, Zhang Yao never returned to Sichuan Province."
"Have you found Zhang Yao's address in Yinglu City?"
Liu Qingshan shook his head: "We did not find Zhang Yao's address in Yinglu City, but we found the mobile phone number registered with Zhang Yao's ID card number."
Switch the projection, it is the page call record.
"We checked all the call records of this mobile phone number and found that this number had never made any calls two months ago, that is, after May 1."
"Also, last month's phone bill was not paid."
"The call records are also very simple. Except for two or three phone calls whose destination is Sichuan Province, all call records only contain Han Long's mobile phone number."
Han Long’s mobile phone number?
Zhang Yao's basic information showed that she and Han Long were from the same village, and they were of similar age, so they must have known each other.
Moreover, Zhang Yao was forced to marry in her hometown in Sichuan Province, and the city she chose after running away from home was Yinglu City.
Afterwards, most of Zhang Yao's call records only contained Han Long's mobile phone number.
The relationship between the two people can be imagined.
"Summon Han Long's wife Qin Lu immediately."
Han Long and Qin Lu got married three years ago, and Zhang Yao ran away from home in Sichuan Province to join Han Long three years ago.
Half a year ago, Han Long and Qin Lu divorced. Is there any connection between them?
One is a childhood sweetheart, and the other is Great Expectations.
At the scene where Han Long was killed, a lion head made of Zhang Lu's flesh and blood tissue appeared.
Qin Lu naturally has serious suspicions.
An hour later, Chen Yan met Qin Lu, Han Long's predecessor.
However, what surprised Chen Yan was that Qin Lu was a disabled person.
"15 years ago, Qin Lu lost both legs in a car accident."
Qin Lu, who was sitting in a wheelchair, had a calm expression. She seemed not interested in anything.
Although his eyes are not empty, they have a calmness that ordinary people don't have.
Qin Lu's first impression of Chen Yan was that he was a person who seemed to have little passion for life.
Is it really her?
Chen Yan was a little skeptical.
Because with Qin Lu's physical condition, it seemed difficult to kill Han Long and remove his bones to make a skeleton.
"Ms. Qin, the main reason I invite you here is to find out more about your ex-husband Han Long."
"Han Long?"
When Chen Yan mentioned Han Long's name, Qin Lu's expression finally changed, and her eyes seemed to fluctuate, but it only took a moment before she returned to her calm state.
"We divorced six months ago and have no contact since."
Qin Lu didn't ask Chen Yan what he wanted to know about Han Long.
She just stated the fact that she and Han Long were divorced.
From Qin Lu's tone, Chen Yan could tell that she didn't seem to want to mention the name.
Saying such a sentence also conveyed to Chen Yan that the two had been divorced for half a year. Qin Lu didn't know much about Han Long's recent affairs.
"Ms. Qin, we have learned about the divorce situation between you and Han Long."
"But because Han Long was killed two months ago, we need to know the specific circumstances of your divorce."
"Killed?"
Qin Lu's expression suddenly changed violently, and her eyes showed disbelief: "Is he dead?"
"How could he be dead? His WeChat account was still posted on WeChat Moments a week ago!"
Chen Yan nodded: "Han Long is indeed dead. Han Long was killed two months ago in Room 801, Unit 3, Building 9, Longfeng Garden Community."
"The circle of friends was also posted intentionally by the murderer, so no one has ever discovered it."
"Not discovered?!"
Qin Lu suddenly became excited: "Impossible, he lives with that woman, how could no one find out?"
"woman?"
"You don't know?"
"We found no trace of a woman living in the house where Han Long lived."
"impossible!"
"They were together before we divorced. How could that woman not find out that he was dead?"
"By the way...how did he die?"
Qin Lu's concern for Han Long was far less indifferent than she showed.
After learning about Han Long's death, the calmness in Qin Lu's eyes never appeared again.
After the disbelief, there is sadness and sadness.
"Han Long and I met five years ago."
"At that time, he was a wage earner in my father's company..."
Han Long's academic qualifications are very low, but he seems to have an extraordinary talent for doing business.
At Paul Foreign Trade Company, Han Long worked very hard. In just over a year, he rose from the lowest porter to the position of warehouse supervisor.
Not only that, Han Long knows how to study.
"When Han Long was managing the warehouse, he came up with a particularly good management method, which greatly reduced the company's inventory pressure."
"Not long after he became the warehouse supervisor, my dad transferred him to the sales department, the core department of the company."
"What none of us expected was that although Han Long had not gone to school for a few days, he taught himself English after coming to our company."
"He is extremely smart and can stand on his own very quickly."
"My dad trained him as his successor, and later even brought me and Han Long together."
"Han Long didn't mind that I was disabled. We got married three years ago."
Recalling the past, Qin Lu's face was filled with happiness and her eyes were bright.
"Not long after we got married, a girl from his hometown in Sichuan Province who grew up with him came to him to escape marriage."
"Seeing how pitiful that girl was, I agreed to take her in."
"But……"
"Two years ago, Han Long established his own foreign trade company with the help of my father, and the business was going very smoothly."
"But slowly, I found that Han Long had changed."
"He started coming home less and less and talking to me less and less."
"At the beginning, I thought he was busy with work. After all, the company had just opened and he had to deal with many things."
"I remember when I was a kid, my dad rarely came home and was busy outside all day long."
"But, half a year ago, he had a showdown with me."
"He said he married me just to gain a foothold in Yinglu City."
"It's just for my dad's resources. The person he loves most is the woman named Zhang Yao who he grew up with."
"Since marriage is a scam in the first place, it will only be painful to maintain it."
"We divorced half a year ago."
After the sadness and memories, Qin Lu's story was very calm.
There doesn't seem to be any resentment or anger towards Han Long's betrayal.
Just like this story is just a bloody plot in a TV series, it has nothing to do with her personally.
"Do you suspect that I killed him?"
Qin Lu smiled miserably and punched her unconscious legs: "I'm like me, even if I want to kill him, I'm afraid I'm powerless."
Indeed, Qin Lu has disabled legs and relies on a wheelchair for any movement.
In such a physical condition, I want to kill Han Long, remove the bones and remove the flesh, kill Zhang Yao at the same time, and make a braised lion head...
Basically impossible.
Moreover, Qin Lu's hands are very delicate, and there are no signs of roughness on her hands caused by long-term cooking.
"Ms. Qin, last question, can you cook?"
"Um?"
Can you cook?
Qin Lu shook her head: "Sorry, my physical condition... is destined to miss the kitchen."
After leaving the interrogation room, Chen Yan frowned and thought carefully.
During the interrogation just now, Chen Yan had been carefully observing Qin Lu's expression and body behavior.
Except for the obvious excitement on her expression when she heard the news of Han Long's death, Qin Lu's expression was relatively calm throughout the process.
There are no other unnecessary small movements on the hands.
Although this emotional calmness is somewhat deliberate, the possibility of Qin Lu lying is relatively small.
In other words, most of what she said should be the truth. As for whether she was hiding something, Chen Yan couldn't tell yet.
In addition, Qin Lu's confession provided a very important clue.
Han Long and Zhang Yao should live together.
The house in Longfeng Garden was not the house where Han Long and Qin Lu lived when they got married.
When the two got married, they lived in Qingquan Community, where Qin Lu lives now.
The house in Longfeng Garden Community was a second-hand house bought by Han Long two years ago.
According to Qin Lu, Han Long and Zhang Yao have always lived here.
Even if everything else Qin Lu said were false, at this point, Qin Lu had no need to deceive Chen Yan.
Because as long as you look at it on site, you can tell whether it is true or false.
However, Chen Yan found no trace of a woman living at the scene.
Clothes, toiletries, slippers, etc. were all belonging to Han Long alone.
So, where did all this stuff go?
Did Zhang Yao move out temporarily and live somewhere else?
Not too possible.
Han Long and Zhang Yao did not have any other properties in Yinglu City.
Where can Zhang Yao live?
And even if she left for any reason, she wouldn't have moved all her personal belongings and left no traces, right?
"Team Chen," Lan Feng's appearance interrupted Chen Yan's thinking: "The surveillance video of the neighborhood where the crime occurred has been checked."
"Oh? Let's go to the conference room."
In the conference room, Lan Feng began to report: "The monitoring room in Longfeng Garden Community can only be saved for one month, and the videos are covered in a loop."
"So, the video of the incident two months ago cannot be traced now."
Regarding this point, Chen Yan was actually mentally prepared. After all, it took too long for the incident to occur, and two months had passed.
However, the murderer continued to use Han Long's mobile phone account to order takeaways.
The surveillance in the community is not without any clues.
Moreover, the murderer was in Han Long's home and pretended that Han Long was still living.
This shows that the murderer still frequently went in and out of Han Long's house after killing Han Long.
"For the videos in the past month, we focused on the video at the door of Unit 3 of Building 9."
"In the past month, a total of 63 delivery people have appeared at the door of Unit 3 of Building 9."
"Based on the takeout orders checked by Captain Qingshan, we identified ten of them."
"Except for one of these ten people who resigned last week and is no longer in Yinglu City, the other nine have been summoned one after another."
"In addition to the delivery guys, we focused on strangers who were not tenants or owners of the unit, a total of 12 people."
"Verification of entry and property door registration records determined that 11 of them were visitors to other residents."
"One person was a visitor in Building 8. He went to the wrong unit because he recognized the building."
"There is also an access card. We checked Han Long's access card."
"According to the records of the community property registration office, we found that Han Long declared a total of two access cards."
"The registered user is also Han Long, and the other one is a person named Zhang Yao."
"However, after May 1, these two cards have no records of swiping in or out."
Lan Feng's investigation results corroborated Qin Lu's confession. Han Long and Zhang Yao did live together in Longfeng Garden Community.
"Do the ten people who deliver Lion Head takeout enter the unit building every time?"
"Yes, these ten people always enter the third unit directly, and then come out after about a minute interval."
In this case……
The deliveryman who delivered the Lion Head takeout order is not the same person, so the possibility of the deliveryman committing the crime can basically be ruled out.
All that's left is to find these delivery guys and see if they have direct contact with the killer.
However, the investigation results once again disappointed Chen Yan.
In the afternoon, except for the delivery boy who resigned, nine other people came to the detective team one after another to record statements.
Hu Xueying arranged for an interrogation.
"These people all called Han Long's phone number in advance, and the other party asked them to deliver the takeout boxes to the stairwell on the sixth floor."
"The other party has never had direct contact with the delivery person."
It can be said that so far, the two clues of the delivery man and the surveillance video have basically been broken.
