At the investigation meeting held by the police task force, many police officers burst into laughter after hearing Detective Hao Dong's statement. Regarding this hypothesis, everyone tentatively agrees on the motive for committing the crime. However, Xiao Long returned to Ping An Harbor by boat at 1:30 pm on the 17th. After reporting that his partner Tian Lang had fallen into the sea and was missing, he lost consciousness due to excessive fatigue and sadness and passed out. He was sent to a nearby hospital. I lay in the ward for three days. From this, it can be concluded that he was racing a sailing boat on the vast sea until the afternoon of the 17th when Oh Young was killed, and spent the rest of his time in the hospital ward. The only people who entered the ward were doctors and nurses, and the employees of the metal company he ran took turns taking care of him. There was absolutely no chance for him to escape and sneak out of the ward.
Even if Xiao Long, as the chairman, colluded with employees to pretend that he was always in the ward and did not commit the crime at the time of the crime, if there was only one employee caring for him, he might be able to form an offensive and defensive alliance, but it would be very difficult to create an illusion with multiple employees. Such a fortress is easy to break by itself, and collusion in fraud is also easy to be broken down by the police. Moreover, if one day there is someone who is disgusted with the chairman among the employees who collude in fraud... Xiao Long cannot possibly not know the consequences of this. It's dangerous.
Also, from the local hospital to Nanguang City, no matter how fast the speed is, it will take at least more than two hours. If the traffic is congested and takes more time, and the crime takes at least 20 to 30 minutes, you will have to leave the ward for about three hours. For such a long time, no matter how hard the employees jointly faked the illusion that they did not have time to be at the crime scene, it would be difficult to deceive the eyes of the nurses who passed in and out of the ward. In addition, Xiao Long was unconscious due to exhaustion. It would be far-fetched to say that he could sneak out of the ward and commit murder that day. Xiao Long's theory of killing his wife seems to be weak in logic.
The police task force intensively questioned Zeng Ji, but he denied everything. When asked about the reason why Wu Ying was missing in the hotel rooftop plaza and did not inform the hotel in time, he emphasized that it depended on the special environment at the time. In this regard, he also elaborated on his mental state at the time. Whether he didn't leave Wu Ying's suitcase in the hotel room or stored Wu Ying's suitcase at the Nanguang City Station, he always argued that it was because of the continuation of that confused state of mind that he had absolutely nothing to do with it. The police task force speculated that the killing was planned. On the evening of the 17th, I first went to the cinema to watch the foreign movie "The Disappearance", and then went to an outdoor beer bar to drink beer. After that, he hailed a taxi near the beer bar and returned home. In short, he emphasized from beginning to end that the above defense was true. He also said that if the police could find the two taxi drivers who took him there, they could easily prove that what he said was true.
The police also asked the taxi company, but the two drivers have not come forward to testify for him so far.
Regarding Zengji, the police task force did not have convincing and conclusive evidence, and his suspected murders were almost all based on criminal police presumptions. If an indictment like this is handed over to the prosecutor, it will undoubtedly be returned without prosecution.
However, despite that, the police task force was still unable to release the suspect Zeng Ji because a suspect with more criminal tendencies than him had not yet appeared. But it seems impossible to get Zengi to confess in a short time.
Zeng Ji was very impulsive in the detention center, and many criminal policemen allowed him to be impulsive, hoping that he would accidentally leak the truth about the crime from his mouth. A reckless detective would probably yell at Sokichi: You bastard, it is precisely because you are a dirty playwright that you write such bottom-line scripts, so hurry up and get real!
What's even more embarrassing is that the police have no idea of the victim's whereabouts after he disappeared. Where did she go after she disappeared from the rooftop square of that hotel in Dongyang City? It is assumed that Wu Ying moved to other hotels in Dongyang City according to Zeng Ji's instructions, as the police presumed, but there is currently no report of a woman who looks like Wu Ying staying in a guest room in any hotel in Dongyang. Assuming that Wu Ying checked into a hotel after returning to Nanguang City, these assumptions are not supported by facts. The police asked the express train conductor who went to Nanguang that night, but the results were all in vain.
In addition, it is assumed that Wu Ying was killed by Zeng Ji in Dongyang on the night of the 16th and then transported to Nam Kwang, but it seems that it cannot be established based on the phenomenon that he returned to Nam Kwang alone. Assuming that Zengji packed the body into luggage and sent it from Dongyang to Nanguang, and then quietly took it out and buried it in a clearing in the woods in Nanguang, it is even more unrealistic based on the clues obtained so far.
Just when the case reached a dead end, Captain Tian Chunda decided to focus the investigation on Xiao Long.
During the case analysis meeting of the police task force, when someone proposed to investigate Xiao Long's traces again, there was a burst of laughter. However, after careful consideration, Captain Tian Chunda believed that this should be a breakthrough. Zeng Ji and Wu Ying had only been in love for three months. No matter what happened in such a short period of time, it was unimaginable that Zeng Ji had been put in a dilemma where he had to kill Wu Ying. If Zengji is suspected of murder, it is only because he has many ambiguous deeds. Relatively speaking, Xiao Long's behavior is impeccable and there is no ambiguity at all. He participated in the sailing competition with other sailboats from the evening of the 14th until 1:00 pm on the 17th when he sailed from the ocean to Ping An Harbor. After landing, he was taken to the hospital by ambulance and lay on the hospital bed surrounded by many eyes in the ward. From the moment he disembarked at Ping An Harbor to being sent to a nearby hospital, his transportation was by ambulance and there was no stop on the way.
However, Officer Tian Chunda felt that Xiao Long’s whereabouts should be investigated in further detail. Still, the suggestion may raise objections from other police officers.
Officer Tian Chunda and Detective Hao Dong first went to Pingan Harbor Hospital and met with the doctor who initially diagnosed Xiao Long. He is Jing Nan, director of the Department of Internal Medicine, who is in his forties and honest. He gave the following answer to the detective's question: "When Xiao Long was sent to the emergency room, he was extremely tired and had a weak heartbeat. The reason for his absence was also due to a weak heartbeat. Since he was hospitalized at 3:30 pm on the 17th, he has been given cardiotonic injections and temporarily given oxygen. That night, he was still under critical observation, with nurses on duty at all times, and employees of his company also worked all night Guard. Although he gradually recovered from the morning of the 18th, the fatigue in his body has not completely disappeared, and he still needs help when going to the bathroom. Starting from the evening of the 18th, he slightly returned to his normal state, and his blood color also became It's normal. Here is the medical record card of this emergency room, you can take a look."
Director Jing handed the medical record card brought by the nurse to the two detectives.
Captain Tian Chunda and young detective Hao Dong walked out of the hospital in a state where they could not ask questions at all. The honest director of internal medicine explained: Xiao Long is his own patient and cannot say more about the situation. Regarding his condition, he was under severe observation on the 17th and 18th.
In this regard, the criminal police officers could not ask any more unnecessary questions.
After leaving the hospital, Hao Dong said to Tian Chunda: "Xiao Long fainted and fell to the ground. Wasn't it acting?"
"It's not impossible. His heart failure may also be caused by his own medication."
Officer Tian Chunda stroked his long chin and replied.
Next they went to ask the director of the sailing club.
The club director is Yuan Wei, who can also operate a sailboat. In response to the detectives' questions, he took out the sailing record of that day and explained: There were seven sailing boats participating in the competition at that time, including Xiao Long and Tian Lang's Seabird sailing boats, and they left together at 7pm on the 14th. Safe Harbor.
Four hours after setting sail, the distance between the sailing boats was disrupted. That's because the seasonal wind blowing on the sea is the south wind, which means that the boats are traveling against the wind and cannot obtain a straight route, and are forced to move forward in a Z-line. Some sailing boats sail in a large Z-line, some sail in a small Z-line, and some sail boats willfully sail on the ocean with the wind, becoming unable to see each other's sailing boats. From Ping'an Port to Sansha Island, it is very difficult to go against the wind like this, and it takes about forty hours to sail in a zigzag pattern. To say you have arrived, you don't have to enter the harbor somewhere on Sansha Island and ask the locals to prove it. Instead, you have to sail along the island shore for half a week and then return to Ping An Harbor. The time it takes to go around Sansha Island is about ten Between 9 and 11 a.m. on the 6th. Needless to say, there will be a considerable distance between the first ship at the front and the seventh ship at the back. The time difference may be three or four hours.
