The details of the 404 case were disclosed and aroused great public opinion in the society.
But Xu Mo was hospitalized.
Although he still couldn't get rid of the suspect's identity, it allowed him to temporarily escape from the whirlpool.
At this time, the people who are most uncomfortable and under the greatest pressure are undoubtedly the police.
They not only have to investigate cases, but also face doubts and speculations from the outside world, as well as pressure from superiors and all parties.
It can be said that the police are walking on a high-altitude rope now, and a little carelessness will have a huge impact.
Of course, the case still needs to be investigated, but it is much more difficult than before.
As time passed and the investigation deepened, the police found more and more clues.
However, most of these clues point to Xu Mo.
First, before the 404 case occurred, Xu Mo was investigating Chen Xuefeng and had privately found and questioned many victims;
Based on the evidence collected from Chen Xuefeng's home, the police found many victims. After questioning one by one, some of the victims said they had seen Xu Mo and provided Xu Mo with some evidence.
Second, because Xu Mo was suspected of committing a major crime, the police searched Xu Mo's current residence and indeed found many clues and evidence in the room for the investigation of Chen Xuefeng.
Third, the police also found a suicide note left by Song Jiajia before she committed suicide at Xu Mo's home.
In addition to the many atrocities Chen Xuefeng had committed against her, the contents of the suicide note also contained words in which she begged Xu Mo to avenge her after her death.
After handwriting comparison, the suicide note was indeed written by Song Jiajia.
Fourth, the police found Xu Mo's plan to punish Chen Xuefeng and Shen Jiayi, as well as information about the tools he purchased for this purpose.
After constant visits and investigations by the police, according to the recollection of the owner who sold tool hammers, Xu Mo did buy two tool hammers from him more than ten days ago.
Fifth, the forensic doctor conducted a second autopsy on the bodies of Chen Xuefeng and Shen Jiayi. After detailed inspection and comparison, they found that although the injuries on the deceased were similar to the victims of the 628 case, they were similar to the way Chen Xuefeng abused the female students in the video. More like.
Even many injuries can be found on the bodies of the injured female college students.
Of course, these are just clues.
The real evidence was found three days later.
Police found multiple witnesses.
First of all, when the police visited and investigated Baiyin University, according to the memories of school classmates and surrounding vendors, they had seen Xu Mo following Chen Xuefeng after school many times since mid-to-late March.
The main reason why I remember them so clearly is because both Xu Mo and Chen Xuefeng are very recognizable in Baiyin University.
However, they all knew that Chen Xuefeng was Xu Mo's mentor, so they didn't pay much attention.
Secondly, when the police visited and questioned the neighbors in Xu Mo's community, according to the memories of Xu Mo's neighbors and community security guards, they had seen Xu Mo carrying a small child on his back at around 11pm on April 3. When the travel bag left the house, the security guard on duty asked Xu Mo why he was out so well dressed and so late, but Xu Mo ignored him.
In addition, the owner of a small restaurant about two blocks away from Xiacheng Street recalled that when they were about to close at around 0:20 on the 4th, they saw a man wearing a peaked cap, a black sweatshirt, and carrying a travel bag. The young master passed by their shop.
Because it was too late, there were no pedestrians on the road, and the boy was dressed strangely, they were more impressed.
Most importantly, the police called in surveillance based on what these witnesses said.
According to surveillance, Xu Mo came home around 10:40 on the night of the 3rd, stayed at home for about 20 minutes, and then went out with his travel bag.
After leaving the community, Xu Mo disappeared from surveillance.
Therefore, the police called the surveillance cameras of stores along the way and saw Xu Mo in multiple surveillance videos.
However, Xu Mo had disguised himself, and he was not sure whether the person captured by the surveillance camera was Xu Mo, but the travel bag on his back was clearly photographed.
Although the travel bag is not a brand-name product, it is very difficult to buy. It was one of the New Year gifts given to him by Xu Mo's mother.
Based on these videos, Xu Mo's action route and final destination that night were basically locked.
In addition, the police also found witnesses related to Chen Xuefeng and Shen Jiayi.
First, according to Shen Jiayi’s roommate, before school on the 3rd, Shen Jiayi told her roommate that she was going to Yixingju for dinner in the evening.
They thought Shen Jiayi had a boyfriend. Out of curiosity, they paid great attention to Shen Jiayi after class.
Then I saw Shen Jiayi getting into Chen Xuefeng's car after school when she was leaving school.
The direction the car left was exactly towards Xiacheng Street, and Yixingju happened to be located on a street close to Xiacheng Street.
Second, based on this clue, the police found Yixingju.
After asking the boss and checking the surveillance, they did see Chen Xuefeng and Shen Jiayi eating together here.
The two behaved very intimately during the meal.
At the same time, they were still monitoring and saw a taxi stopping right behind Chen Xuefeng's car.
After the taxi stopped, the glass in the back row opened a crack, and the passengers sitting in the back row kept observing Chen Xuefeng. It wasn't until the two sat down and started ordering that the taxi started up again and turned around to leave.
As a result, the police immediately found the taxi driver.
According to the other party's recollection, on the night of the 3rd, he did pick up a young man at the gate of Baiyin University.
After getting on the bus, the boy claimed to be the boyfriend of the girl in the private car in front of him. He suspected that his girlfriend was cheating on her, so he asked the taxi to follow the private car and offered to pay double the fare.
The taxi driver readily agreed.
After tracking all the way, the taxi driver did pay attention to the door of Xingju. He saw Chen Xuefeng and Shen Jiayi, and through the rearview mirror, he saw the teenager taking photos with his mobile phone and whispering: You bitches, I will kill you sooner or later.
After that, the boy asked him to turn around and stop at the intersection near Changhong Road.
After the boy got off the car, he left quickly, and the direction he left happened to be the direction of the community where Xu Mo lived.
At this point in the investigation of the case, everything seems to have become clear.
Xu Mo is the murderer who killed Chen Xuefeng and Shen Jiayi and caused the 404 tragedy.
But neither Fang Mu nor the other police officers felt excited or happy about locking down the suspect. Instead, they were all worried.
Liu Tao looked at Fang Mu and asked, "What do you think of the current investigation results?"
Fang Mu did not answer the question immediately, but asked: "What do you think?"
"Too simple, too easy, too smooth." Liu Tao said.
Fang Mu nodded and said: "It is indeed too simple and easy."
However, is it really simple?
