Chapter 11 chapter Ten

Back at the county bureau, Gao Dong was still full of worries.The case seems to have come to a dead end and reached a stalemate. There is no witness or material evidence, and all direct clues have been cut off. This is a headache.Because even if you know who the murderer is now, if there is no physical evidence, as long as the murderer insists that he didn't do it, it will be difficult to judge the case. Although in China's political and legal system, the nature of the case and the scale of sentencing can often be freely determined by the leader's personal consciousness, whether the case can be decided or not depends on the witness and material evidence.

After all, this is an open coastal city, and this case is a major case under the pressure of the provincial and municipal leaders, so there is no way to fool it casually. What Gao Dong was most worried about was that, as Xu Ce said, no matter what the motive for the crime, since the murderer took the gun, he would definitely continue to commit crimes.If another official dies before the murderer is caught, then he, the head of the task force, will be slapped in the face. Before, he even suspected that Zhang Xiangping had killed Li Aiguo, but considering that the murderer took away the gun, the possibility of Zhang Xiangping was basically ruled out, because if he killed someone out of competition for the position of director, there was no need to make the case so big.

It seems that this case still has to start from the beginning with Li Aiguo's social relations. After all, the person killed in the car should be an acquaintance. Gao Dong called Zhang Yiang. "Boss, are you looking for me?" Zhang Yiang's eyes were a little bloodshot, obviously this week's work was very intense. Gao Dong lit a cigarette and said, "How is your investigation with Li Aiguo's relatives and friends going?" Zhang Yiang said: "Right now... there is no progress yet." Gao Dong exhaled, and said, "Did his wife notice anything unusual before the crime happened?"

"No." Gao Dong pursed his lips: "Among his social relationships, is there anyone who has behaved abnormally in the past few days? Or who hasn't appeared in a few days?" "Boss, are you talking about absconding in fear of crime?" "Ok." "As a result of the temporary investigation, no one is abnormal, and no one has disappeared in the past few days." Gao Dong snorted, and said: "The murder in the car must be committed by an acquaintance. The murderer's psychological quality is very good. It must be that your investigation was not thorough enough to miss the person!"

Zhang Yiang said kindly, bowed his head and remained silent.He did not deny Gao Dong's judgment. After all, it is impossible to investigate all the trains with so many people. If the murderer is hidden during the investigation, it is also possible. Gao Dong glanced at him, and said again: "Don't be discouraged, don't let go of any clues, piece together information from different populations, and restore the situation before the crime. Especially the group of guys who drank with Li Aiguo on the night of the crime .” "These people have asked many times." Gao Dong said sternly: "Ask more carefully, reorganize everyone's transcripts, and hand them over to me tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

"OK, all right." "By the way, I asked you to contact the evidence experts from the provincial department. What progress have they made?" "Boss, I'm about to tell you. The specific results are still being checked, but some new discoveries have been made today." Gao Dong's eyes lit up: "Oh? What did you find?" Zhang Yiang said: "It's the words left by the murderer. The words are written in artistic style, so it's impossible to confirm the handwriting. The cloth used to write the words is chemical fiber. This material is very common, and there are countless large and small domestic manufacturers. So we can't find out the source. And the paint used in the words, the murderer showed a flaw—"

"What flaw?" "People from the physical evidence department extracted the pigments on the words, and bought hundreds of red pigments from the market. After comparing each of them, they finally found out that the murderer used a joint venture brand produced in Xiaoshan. Pigment. Today I discussed with Team Chen. He has arranged more than a dozen people in the county, and several other towns in the county have also appointed police from the local police stations. We basically left all the stationery stores and office supply stores in the county. over again." "The results of it?"

"This brand of paint is only sold in a chain office supply store in the county. According to the clerk, because this paint brand has been established for a short time, the price is high, and there is no special sales network in Baixiang County, so it is estimated that the whole county Only their home sells them, they are a national chain of office supply stores, and the head office distributes the goods, so they sell them." "So, the sales of this paint will not be much in Baixiang County." Zhang Yiang nodded: "Well, that store checked the sales records. They only started selling this kind of pigment more than three months ago. So far, there are only five records of selling this kind of pigment. One of them was this week, which is After the incident, in fact, it only needs to check the first four times.”

"Is there a way to find out who bought those four times?" Zhang Yiang said: "If it goes well, there should be results tomorrow. There are two cameras in this store, and the surveillance video is on their boss's computer. The boss is buying goods from other places today, and he can come back tomorrow morning. I asked, their surveillance video Keep it for 60 days, as long as the murderer bought the paint within two months, he will definitely be found out." Gao Dong nodded: "This is a relatively important clue at present." Zhang Yiang said: "If it is found out tomorrow that one of the four people who bought this paint is the murderer, then everything will be fine."

Gao Dong coughed lightly: "Tomorrow I will go with you." Gao Dong was not as optimistic as Zhang Yiang. He thought that the murderer had thought carefully, the whole murder had been carefully planned, and no evidence was left behind. Could it be that he would be defeated by this paint in the end? Let's hope so, the murderer probably wouldn't have thought that our police would not let the detail of the paint go unnoticed. However, if the paint he used was not purchased in Baixiang County, wouldn't tomorrow's work be wasted? And another doubtful point is why the murderer would buy this kind of paint that is rarely used and expensive?And it just so happens that there is only one store in Baixiang County that sells this paint.

If he used the popular brand of paint, and there are many places to sell it, the police would have no way to check the purchase channels of the murderer, and naturally they would not be able to locate the murderer. Perhaps it was because the murderer didn't know the brand of the paint, so he just told the salesperson to buy a red paint, and the salesperson gave it to him. As for paint, a non-criminal "necessary prop", I believe the murderer would be negligent, and would never have thought that the paint he bought happened to be sold in only one store in the whole county. If everything goes well, the suspect will be revealed tomorrow when we get the video of buying the paint at that time. Gao Dong said again: "I will go there with you tomorrow, hoping to gain something. In addition, you have to follow up with Director Guo to find out whether Li Aiguo's car passed by various roads on the roads in the county in the two weeks before the incident. The video from the camera, is there any car following behind? The murderer in this case has carefully set up a spot and prepared, and the time was picked in the middle of the night, so he must have followed it in advance, and it took a lot of tracking before he caught Li Aiguo's chance to go home at this time. Check carefully, there must be clues." "Okay, Boss, I'll do it now." Although Zhang Yiang looked a little haggard, he was still very serious about his work, especially listening to Gao Dong's orders. Gao Dong also admired this capable assistant, not only "sensible", obedient, but also quick-witted, such a person is naturally his hard-core subordinate, he smiled: "Xiao Zhang, I have worked hard for you this time. Wait for the case to be handled." After that, go back to the city and I will reward you and the other brothers."
