Chapter 2413: Chapter 2414: The Perfect Logical Loop Chapter 2413: Chapter 2414: The Perfect Logical Loop âIs there any other discovery?â Zhang Hui asked.
âLast week, just a few days before Wang Jiasu died, this woman drove her car and hit a delivery boy. Not only did she not apologize, but she also kept yelling at him, cursing his ancestors for generations. However, in the end, the matter was unresolved. Itâs very likely that Wang Jiasu stepped in and smoothed things over for her.â
âSheâs indeed quite arrogant, probably just showing off borrowed power.â Zhang Hui said:
âNow that Wang Jiasu is dead, I guess she wonât dare to be so presumptuous anymore.â
âBut this woman is still worth investigating; there might be clues on her.â
âAlright, letâs put this womanâs matter aside for now. Lin Yi has brought back the surveillance video from Gubei No.1, and the murderer has appeared. Letâs analyze it.â
Lin Yi plugged the USB drive into the computer, and several people started analyzing the surveillance footage.
âWe did not see him at the main entrance; the first time he appeared on camera, he was already in front of the victimâs door,â Zhang Hui said:
âFor a community like Gubei No.1, there should be comprehensive surveillance coverage, but we didnât find him. He must have avoided all the cameras. The criminalâs counter-surveillance ability is stronger than we thought.â
âThatâs not right,â Zhang Zixin said:
âEven if he could jump in from outside, thereâs surveillance at the entrance door as well, but it didnât capture him, which is very odd.â
âHe went through the underground parking garage!â Lin Yi said:
âHe must have blended into the underground parking garage, but thereâs surveillance there too. So his entry was likely through using a fake license plate, driving into the garage, and avoiding the video cameras.â
Lin Yiâs explanation was affirmed by the others.
According to the current architectural design, itâs indeed possible to reach the victimâs door from the negative first floor of the garage.
âWhen the murderer arrived at the victimâs home, he pushed him in, suggesting their relationship might not have been good. Yet, there were no signs of a struggle in the house, which is suspicious,â Zhang Peng proposed his idea, âIf they knew each other, the murderer wouldnât have used such a forceful approach to push the victim in.â
âYour argument doesnât hold,â Lin Yi said:
âLetâs imagine the scenario, if you saw me wearing a mask and sunglasses, knocking on your door, what would be your first reaction?â
âIâd definitely be startled,â Zhang Zixin said.
âIf I pushed you in and locked the door, and then took off the mask and sunglasses, would you still be afraid?â
âNot anymore, because we know each other.â
âThatâs the key,â Lin Yi said:
âOur previous analysis is correct. Wang Jiasu and the murderer knew each other. Itâs just the murdererâs weird disguise that puzzled him. Once he revealed his identity, Wang Jiasuâs guard was lowered.â
âThen, like your previous analysis, the murderer might have found something incriminating about Wang Jiasu and threatened him, step by step leading him towards death.â
âAnd that incriminating thing is very likely related to the woman named Song Lin!â
âOnce this is exposed, he could be utterly destroyed. So the logic of this murder case, can fit in a perfect loop. There shouldnât be any other possibilities.â
âI think what Lin Bro said is right,â Zhang Zixin said:
âBefore Wang Jiasu died, he was reading a book. He didnât put down the book to take a bath but because someone knocked on the door. He capped the book, ready to see what was going on, planning to continue reading afterwards. However, after opening the door, he encountered the murderer, who threatened him to go to the bathroom to bathe, and then the plan succeeded.â
âWhew~~~â
Everyone felt relieved, and Zhang Hui lit a cigarette.
âIâm feeling a bit inflated now. Weâve turned a case of apparent suicide into a murder case. Damn impressive, hahaâŠâ
âIt really is, hahaâŠâ
Having relaxed a bit, after a cigarette break, they gathered back in front of the computer.
âNow that weâve cleared up the method of the murder, letâs look again at the murderer and try to find more clues.â
âDid you guys notice that the murdererâs build doesnât look as burly as we imagined?â Lin Yi said.
âWhat do you mean?â
âDo you remember, the scrapyard owner said, the guy who came to sell the car was a nearly 1.9 meters tall, muscular man. But the person in the video doesnât look that tall.â
After Lin Yiâs reminder, everyoneâs attention focused on the murderer.
âIndeed, he doesnât look very burly,â Zhu Junchi murmured, saying:
âIs there a possibility that the murderer is not acting alone but is part of a small group, each instructed to kill different people?â
âThere is such a possibility, but itâs unlikely,â Zhang Hui said:
âThe killing methods in all three cases were very brazen. Unless each person under his command has very strong individual abilities, it wouldnât be possible.â
Everyone fell silent again, seemingly back at a dead end.
âI think the murderer must have cased the place a long time ago; otherwise, he couldnât have been so skilled,â Zhang Peng said:
âItâs likely that Wang Jiasu had been his target for a long time.â
Lin Yi nodded, agreeing with Zhang Peng, and then looked at Zhu Junchi.
âBrother Zhu, during your investigation, did you find any evidence that he had connections with Fang Daye or Ma Haiqiang? Or has he ever been to Xiangyang Village?â
âI know what you want to say. I have focused on this investigation and can tell you for sure that they donât know each other and have no connections,â Zhu Junchi said:
âThe only thing they have in common is being from the same hometown. Beyond that, there are no connections.â
âAfter all, theyâre from different social strata. An entrepreneur like Wang Jiasu, Fang Daye, and Ma Haiqiang are not from the same circles; naturally, they couldnât have had any connection,â Zhang Zixin said.
âBut they have connections with the murderer, and this is very doubtful,â Lin Yi said:
âI always feel that in these cases, there might be things we donât know. We need to continue investigating.â
âSeems like we have to make a trip to Jindou Village to check what kind of people they were in the village. Otherwise, it will be difficult to solve the case with the information at hand.â
Everyone nodded; this was the only clue left to investigate.
Ring Ring Ringâ
Just then, Zhu Junchiâs phone rang.
âHello, Zhao Bro.â
âHmm? Are you sure itâs her?â
âOkay, okay, Iâll go take a look now.â
Hastily acknowledging, Zhu Junchi hung up the phone, his face looking very grim as he scanned everyoneâs faces.
âI just got a call from Jingquan Branch. A fire broke out at Fenglan International, and a womanâs body was found. Upon verification, the woman was Song Lin!â
