Chapter 23 first quarter

Zheng Jian and Wen Shu came to the office of the Public Security Bureau. Wang Zhen, Shen Min and Lin Hai had been waiting for a long time. Wang Zhen first reported what he learned about Kangli: "Kangli was sentenced to three years of forced labor for committing the crime of stealing and smuggling. After he was released from labor camp, he was assigned to work in the street transportation team. He was fined for breaking the law. A while ago, he didn’t find anything new about him, but last night, he met Xin Gu, the time was very short, and the content of the conversation was unknown.” Lin Hai went on to report: "Chen Molin's social relationship is very simple. He became Zhang Hanqian's housekeeper entirely because Ms. Zhou single-handedly selected him. According to a person who once worked as a nanny in Qiuxiang Villa, before liberation, Ms. Zhou once went out It was Chen Molin who was almost humiliated by hooligans and stepped forward to protect Ms. Zhou. Then, Chen Molin went to teach the hooligan leader a lesson. These circumstances can show that Chen Molin practiced martial arts when he was young, and he was a righteous and passionate man, which is different from our impression today The image of the thin old man in the film is very different."

Zheng Jian nodded thoughtfully, and asked another question: "Did Chen Molin know for a long time that there is a huge amount of inheritance hidden in Qiuxiang's villa and that there is a darkroom in the closet in the kitchen?" Lin Hai nodded and said, "From his status, he must know something about it." He paused and then said, "Chen Molin dug a hole next to the sweet-scented osmanthus tree a few months ago, and said it was Plant a tree, but don’t plant it.” Wang Zhen interjected: "It seems that Chen Molin is not only an insider, but also very good at disguising himself. If Ms. Zhou leaves a last word before she dies, asking Chen Molin to kill Xin Yueqiu, he will retaliate at all costs. As for There appears to be insufficient evidence that he committed the murder to seize the property."

Zheng Jian stood up, took a few steps, and said, "Does Chen Molin often play chess with Kang Li?" Lin Hai replied: "Chen Molin is a chess fan, and Kangli only plays chess occasionally. Normally, Chen Molin invites Kangli, but on the night Xin Yueqiu was killed, it was Kangli who proposed it." Zheng Jian twisted out the cigarette butt and asked Shen Min: "Have you read Gu Ling's file?" Shen Min nodded and said: "There is nothing suspicious in her file. She has been rated as an advanced worker many times. She has a decent style and a friendly personality. People who have worked with her have given her good feedback."

"Where is Gu Ling's hometown?" Zheng Jian asked again. "Jiangsu Xinghua." Shen Min added, "According to an eyewitness, on the night of the tragedy at Qiuxiang Villa, around 11:15, he saw three flashlights flashing above the villa." After hearing the reports from the three men, Zheng Jian talked with Wen Shu about what he had learned from Shan Xiali, and then said: "What we are facing now is not one murder case, but two. Not only the murder case Xin Yueqiu was killed, and another Mo Cai died. Shan Xiali can prove that Mo Cai did not have the time to kill Xin Yueqiu, so the conclusion that he committed suicide in fear of crime can be completely denied. Since he was killed in the dark room of the kitchen in Qiuxiang Villa, The second murderer can only be one of Chen Molin, Kang Li, Han Feitian, Shan Xiali, Mo Feifei, and Gu Ling. As for whether the first murderer and the second murderer are the same person, it is yet to be determined It's too early."

After Zheng Jian finished speaking, seeing the momentary silence, he lit a cigarette and said, "When Xin Yueqiu was murdered, the above six people were divided into three groups. Chen Molin and Kang Li were playing chess together, and Gu Ling went to the pavilion to call Leaving Shan Xiali, Han Feitian and Mo Feifei returned to Qiuxiang Villa on the same road. Please imagine, if the murderer is not one person, but two people conspiring together, then don't the six of them have the time to commit the crime?" Hearing Zheng Jian's analysis, Wen Shu couldn't help but nodded, and said, "Yes, if there are more than two murderers, their mutual testimony has no time to commit the crime, and it will be completely useless."

If Chen Molin and Kang Li conspired to kill Xin Yueqiu, wouldn't it be possible to make up a plot where they heard screams while playing chess? If Han Feitian and Mo Feifei committed the crime together, and they mutually testified that they did not return to Qiuxiang Villa until 11:40, it would not be established. However, Gu Ling and Shan Xiali conspired to commit the crime, so Shan Xiali's words would hardly prove her innocence. Xin Yueqiu, knock on Shan Xiali's door again. But the third hypothesis was quickly denied, because when Chen Molin and Kang Li walked out of the house after hearing Xin Yueqiu's screams, Gu Ling had already poked her head out of the window. If the possibility of Gu Ling committing the crime existed, then only Gu Ling Colluding with Chen Molin and Kang Li, the three joined forces to commit the crime.Because the three of them heard the screams almost at the same time.

The first and second hypotheses also completely lack the internal connection. Chen Molin and Kang Li, Han Feitian and Mo Feifei, what reason do they have to form an alliance to kill Xin Yueqiu?This is logically impossible. The lively discussion has reached a low ebb again.Seeing that the meeting had been going on for more than two hours, Zheng Jian made a gesture and said: "This case is indeed complicated, but at least some clues have been exposed to the murderer. We should now clarify the following issues: First, Who was the mysterious person who called Xin Yueqiu and led Xin Yueqiu to go to Qiuxiang Villa on the eve of returning the villa? Second, did Chen Molin and Kang Li, Mo Feifei and Han Feitian leave before Xin Yueqiu was murdered? Third, this The beneficiary of the case is Xin Gu, and the only one among the six people who has a relationship with Xin Gu is Kang Li. Kang Li and Xin Gu are just friends. Will he risk his life to kill people? The contact between Kang Li and Xin Gu has long been severed. In two years, will there be a matchmaker between them? Fourth, did Ms. Zhou leave a last word to ask Chen Molin to kill Xin Yueqiu? If Chen Molin is not likely to commit the crime alone, who is he most likely to form an alliance with? Fifth, Kang Li was assigned to work in the street transportation team, and someone went to say hello, who was this person? Seventh, who was the person with the flashlight? Why did he use the flashlight before Xin Yueqiu was killed? What is the connection? I thought these seven issues were clarified, and the case was close to being closed."

The seven questions raised by Zheng Jian aroused everyone's thinking.After arranging everyone's tasks, he finally said to everyone: "Now we still publicly announce that the case is basically closed. But we must take strict precautions to prevent the third murder case from happening suddenly." After the meeting, Zheng Jian left Wen Shu and said, "You have to win her over and let her learn more about the situation at that time." Wen Shu understood that the "she" Zheng Jian was referring to was Mo Feifei.Wen Shu nodded and said, "Okay, I'll make a call first and ask her to come out and have a talk."

"Okay. Don't let her alarm anyone in the house." Seeing Wen Shu go out, Zheng Jian warned again.
