Immediately, Tian Chunda ordered Hao Dong again:
"Call Chen Xiong over right away and ask what's in the newspaper."
Chen Xiong was called by the criminal police. However, no matter how Tian Chunda questioned him, he denied it.
"I didn't bring anything like that. Ai Yuting remembered it wrong."
He seemed dissatisfied with calling him here just for such a trivial matter, so he puffed up his cheeks and shouted loudly.
"If you don't know, I'll tell you! What's wrapped there is the handbag of the victim Meng Xiangyu!"
Although Tian Chunda's reprimand was very severe, Chen Xiong just rolled his eyes indifferently and said to Tian Chunda: "Stop joking! How can I take his handbag? Are you saying I snatched it somewhere? ?”
Instead, he turned defensive and did not answer the question directly. Tian Chunda continued to ask: "Where did you go after you left Ai Yuting's house at around five o'clock in the morning? Did you go to the Huimin Road coal storage yard? Did you take your handbag with you?" He left it at the coal storage yard on Huimin Road and left as if nothing happened, right?"
"That's unreasonable. No matter what you say, I don't know."
Chen Xiong said and turned his face to the side. His face turned pale, and his dim eyes became even more dull. However, he could not hide his shaken expression. Tian Chunda kept watching every change in his expression.
Chen Xiong refused to let go, saying that he didn't know anything about the handbag. Tian Chunda temporarily suspended the interrogation.
"Team leader, it must be Chen Xiong who left the handbag at the coal storage yard on Huimin Road! Don't look at him pretending not to know, yes, it must be him." Hao Dong said to Tian Chunda.
"Yeah." Tian Chunda nodded. He added: "To be on the safe side, we will first detain him as a theft suspect."
"But where did Chen Xiong get Meng Xiangyu's handbag? If you don't figure it out, he will have to be released before evidence can be obtained! Also, why did Chen Xiong deliberately throw the handbag at the coal storage yard? Woolen cloth?"
"Perhaps the prisoner moved the body to location B after committing the crime in location A because he wanted to hide the scene of the crime!"
"Then, why did you deliberately throw the handbag to the scene later? Isn't it true that there is no silver in this place?"
At this moment, Tian Chunda suddenly remembered the scene of putting the coal powder in an envelope and taking it for testing. He couldn't help but blurt out: "That's right! Can't you also bring coal powder in an envelope?"
"The team leader said that the criminals used envelopes to bring coal powder. That is to say, the criminals put the coal powder from the Huimin Road coal storage yard in envelopes and brought it to Ji Chuan's house. Then, before killing Meng Xiangyu, he asked him to A large amount of coal powder was inhaled. The tied victim could only watch the air and inhale the coal powder into his lungs. So, the Huimin Road Coal Storage Yard was a fake scene disguised?" Hao Dong looked at the team leader and said.
Tian Chunda nodded: "Yes, the criminals have thought carefully. They know that we must dissect the victim's body for examination. When coal powder is found in the lungs, they will definitely think that the victim inhaled it himself. No Some people think that someone else cheated. Therefore, as long as you find a place with the same carbon quality as the coal powder in the body, it will definitely be considered a crime scene."
"Then why did you put your handbag in the coal yard?"
"It was for people to pick it up and hand it over to the police. In other words, the criminal wanted to tell the police through this handbag: 'This is the scene.' Otherwise, he would have fanned coal powder into the victim's mouth for a long time without letting him know. If people know that there is a place with this kind of coal, wouldn’t it be a waste of effort?”
"Well, their purpose is to create evidence that there was no time to commit the crime."
"Yes. The criminal wanted to explain that it was impossible to go back and forth between Jichuan's house and the Huimin Road coal storage yard in a short period of time. No matter how fast you drove, a round trip would take one hour, two to thirty minutes. Therefore, Lu Tian's twenty-minute outing without circumstantial evidence cannot be included in the scope of suspicion."
"So they took Meng Xiangyu to Ji Chuan's house?"
"Exactly. The houses near Ji Chuan's house are relatively scattered, and even if they make louder noises, they will not be heard by outsiders. As for Meng Xiangyu, after he and Lu Tian arrived at Ji Chuan's house around seven o'clock in the evening, they must have been He was tied up, forced to inhale coal powder, and then strangled to death. His body was placed in a warehouse outside the house. After that, Ji Chuan invited his neighbors to his home for dinner so that they could give them an alibi."
"Well, that should be the case." Hao Dong thought for a while and nodded.
Tian Chunda continued: "Chen Xiong wanted to put his handbag at the coal storage yard on Huimin Road, so he left Ji Chuan's house at eleven o'clock. At midnight, Lu Tian went out for twenty minutes on the pretext of buying cigarettes. In fact, he left Ji Chuan's house at eleven o'clock. First, he transported Meng Xiangyu's body to the woods in his own car. After that, he returned to Ji Chuan's house and drank with Ji Chuan and his neighbors until 3:30 before dawn. At around 7 o'clock in the morning, when When the neighbor women came to look for her husband who was sleeping at Ji Chuan's house, Lu Tian walked out calmly, rubbed his eyes, and pretended to be sleeping like them until now."
"This guy is so cunning." Hao Dong couldn't help but exclaimed.
"We are going to search Ji Chuan's home right now! I think they have already cleaned up and eliminated traces. However, if one or two small coal particles are left in any corner, that will be strong evidence. "
Tian Chunda led the criminal police to search Ji Chuan's home. Tian Chunda believed that Meng Xiangyu was probably forced to inhale coal powder in the kitchen. He searched the kitchen carefully with a magnifying glass and found a few tiny grains of coal powder in the corner. I also found half a fingerprint on the wall that had not been cleaned.
After laboratory analysis, the composition of the coal powder found at Ji Chuan's home was exactly the same as that of the coal powder Meng Xiangyu inhaled. The half-fingerprint found on the wall of Ji Chuan's warehouse was compared and proved to be Meng Xiangyu's.
The criminal police interrogated Ji Chuan. Under Tian Chunda's questioning, he had to confess completely. His confession proved that Team Leader Tian Chunda's reasoning about the case was completely correct.
Regarding the motive for the crime, Ji Chuan said that he and Chen Xiong were ordered by Lu Tian. Lu Tian was their boss, and each of them gave them 60,000 yuan, so they obeyed.
The criminal police arrested Lu Tian, and under questioning he had to confess the true motive for killing Meng Xiangyu. From this, the truth about Qu Lili’s disappearance became clear.
