Free Web NovelChapter 627: Chapter 627: Clues Converge from All Sides
At the scene of Song Jinfu’s murder, due to the crime scene being meticulously cleaned, Lu Chuan initially did not find many clues while conducting the crime scene investigation.
Fingerprints were cleared, footprints were cleared, and tire tracks were cleared, leaving nothing at the scene.
The only harvest was some sea sand left on the mop used by the killer to clean the scene.
As the only clue discovered at the scene, Lu Chuan analyzed the sea sand on the first day.
Haizhou City has a relatively long coastline, with ocean to the east and south.
In other words, you can easily find sea sand anywhere.
However, in terms of the composition analysis of sea sand, there are some differences in sea sand composition in different regions.
For instance, the south of Haizhou City has some soft beaches, suitable for swimming and tourism.
The sand here is relatively soft and fine.
But the east side of Haizhou City is rugged with few beaches, and the sea sand here tends to be coarser with more gravel.
The sea sand found at the scene was crystal clear, likely from the southern sea area of Haizhou City.
Although the composition of sea sand in different geographical locations still has slight differences, after a detailed analysis of these sea sands, Lu Chuan compared the sea sand composition in different regions of Haizhou City’s southern coastline.
Hoping to pinpoint the source of this sea sand.
But progress was quite slow, and for the past three days, there have been no clues from Lu Chuan’s side until now.
Inside the meeting room.
All parties were reporting the progress of the case.
Zhang Hui first reported the interrogation situation of Zhao Xiaoguo.
"He confessed everything."
Zhao Xiaoguo wasn’t particularly tough; faced with Zhang Hui’s interrogation methods, he confessed clearly about all the women he had been involved with.
Moreover, this guy even volunteered some criminal clues regarding his father to mitigate his crimes.
"Zhao Xiaoguo’s murder of Song Jinfu was not of his own will but was coerced."
"The root cause was Zhao Xiaoguo killing a woman he had assaulted three years ago."
"The mastermind used the video of the woman’s murder to coerce him into killing Song Jinfu."
"The reason why the crime scene was so clean was not to hide Zhao Xiaoguo as the murderer but because the mastermind had left traces at the scene too."
"According to Zhao Xiaoguo, the traces at the crime scene were handled by the other party."
"However, as for the other party’s appearance, he did not see it as the person was always wearing a mask and a baseball cap." ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
"Currently, it can be confirmed that the other party is a young man of similar height to Zhao Xiaoguo."
"Additionally, there is a very important clue I want to report to everyone."
"The girl Zhao Xiaoguo killed three years ago was named Zhang Yunxi."
"Zhang Yunxi?"
"Why does that name sound familiar?"
When Zhang Hui mentioned it, everyone felt it sounded familiar, as if they had heard the name before.
"Does it sound familiar to everyone?"
Zhang Hui smiled wryly as he turned on the projector: "Zhang Yunxi is the daughter of Zhang Manyu, whom we discovered!"
Damn!
Everyone in the meeting room was stunned!
What exactly is going on here?
First came the remains of Zhang Manyu, followed by Song Jinfu, who had once been a driver at the Experimental Primary School.
Then there is Zhao Xiaoguo, who killed Song Jinfu.
Zhao Xiaoguo turned out to be the murderer who killed Zhang Yunxi three years ago.
Zhang Yunxi... wasn’t she said to have accidentally fallen into the North River and disappeared?
Zhang Hui shook his head: "This matter was orchestrated by Zhao Guojun behind the scenes."
Back then, Zhang Yunxi’s disappearance couldn’t be solely determined based on the words of a few wealthy second-generation heirs like Zhao Xiaoguo.
However, if Zhao Guojun spoke behind the scenes, that would be another story.
The disappearance case was just like that.
If it was said to have disappeared, then it had disappeared.
Especially someone like Zhang Yunxi.
Her mother disappeared when she was 9, her father was unknown, and her grandparents were already old.
She disappeared, and who could do anything?
"What’s more suspicious is that the mastermind has a video of Zhao Xiaoguo killing Zhang Yunxi at that time."
"What is certain is that Zhao Xiaoguo did not record the video at that time, so it’s currently unclear how the video came to be."
Qin Yong frowned as he listened to the report.
Zhang Manyu, Song Jinfu, Zhang Yunxi, Zhao Xiaoguo...
The mastermind’s target is definitely not Zhao Xiaoguo.
Otherwise, the other party only needs to hand over the video of Zhao Xiaoguo killing Zhang Yunxi to the police, and he wouldn’t escape.
So who is the other party’s target?
Zhang Manyu, who was once rumored with Zhao Guojun, ultimately leading to her dropping out and becoming a substitute teacher.
Song Jinfu...
Fifteen years ago, he was Zhao Guojun’s driver and later founded JF Catering Company.
Then he shared the profits of the company with Zhao Xiaoguo.
Needless to say, this person was actually just a tool for Zhao Guojun to amass wealth.
And then there’s Zhao Xiaoguo, the son of Zhao Guojun.
And the murder of Zhang Manyu fifteen years ago...
This time, it all seems related to Zhao Guojun.
Could the target of the other party... be Zhao Guojun?
Qin Yong, with years of experience in criminal investigation, naturally connected all this to Zhao Guojun with his keen investigative instincts.
With Zhao Guojun’s current status, it’s not a matter that can ordinarily be acted upon.
If the other party’s target is really Zhao Guojun, then in the absence of direct measures, guiding the police’s attention to Zhao Guojun through clues related to Zhao Xiaoguo, Song Jinfu, Zhang Manyu, etc., is also plausible.
Additionally, if all these conjectures are true. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
Then who exactly killed Zhang Manyu back then?
"Does anyone else have a report?"
"Captain Qin, I have some information."
Lu Chuan spoke up, and Qin Yong nodded, indicating for him to report.
"At the scene of Song Jinfu’s crime, we did not find many clues, just some sea sand on the mop used for cleaning."
"These past few days, our crime scene investigation team has focused on analyzing the composition of the sea sand."
"This sea sand is crystal clear and has small granules."
"It matches the characteristics of the southern beaches’ sea sand."
"These past few days, our crime scene investigation team has combed through the entire southern beach, collecting samples, comparing the sea sand composition of each area, and finally..."
"Identified a region."
The projector showed a map of the southern part of Haizhou City.
One place was marked with a red dot.
"It’s here."
The map zoomed in to reveal a beach near the sea.
"Nanyuan Villa?"
Lu Chuan marked a place in a region known as Nanyuan Villa.
This area is quite spacious, with only this one residential area around it.
Among those present, hardly anyone didn’t know of this residential area.
Nanyuan Villa has a rather long history, spanning dozens of years.
It is a property of the municipal government, which was once abandoned for a period of time and repurposed twenty years ago.
Currently, it serves as transitory housing for leaders.
In other words, whoever becomes a leader can move in during their tenure.
