Chapter 119 7 Suspicious Witnesses
Chapter 119 Seven Suspicious Witnesses (Added for Silver Alliance Nuan Yang 1314)
The group in the conference room this time is Group B led by Yuan Haoyun.
Group A was cooperating with Song Zihao and Mark to harass Big Brother Cheng, so they did not come.
Yuan Haoyun frowned: "This case seems to be clear on the surface, and it seems that there is no need for the murderer's confession."
"But why do I feel that a confession from the murderer is necessary?"
"The case seems clear and straightforward..."
“But I always feel like something is wrong!”
Fang Zhuohua frowned and said, "I remember Huangshi Street. It's an ancient street. It's not long, and there is indeed a bar inside."
“But the environment is not very good and the business is average.”
She raised a question: "I have a question, that is, how could a rich man like Qian Ri'an go to an old bar on an old street to drink alone?"
"This is unreasonable!"
She stared at the newspaper hanging on the blackboard. On it was a photo of the crime taken by reporter Mo Lixin. In the photo, Qian Ri'an fell to the ground, his life or death unknown.
Hong Zhitao held the knife high.
Shadan also seemed to have noticed something was wrong: "Brother Ting, did the forensic doctor say how many times Qian Ri'an was stabbed to death?"
Fang Jiating smiled and said, "One knife!"
Sha Dan frowned: "Then this photo cannot be used as evidence of murder. This is not a photo of him killing someone. This is a photo of him pulling the knife out of the dead person's body!"
The crowd was in an uproar.
Fang Jiating praised: "Not bad, your observation is very detailed. This photo is indeed not a photo of the murder, but a photo of the extraction."
He restrained his smile: "Mo Lixin was able to take a photo of Hong Zhitao drawing the knife."
"Then why couldn't we take a photo of Hong Zhitao stabbing someone with a knife?"
Fang Jiating pointed to the seven people who testified on the blackboard: "The testimonies of these seven people did not point to other people from beginning to end."
"Their testimonies alone are enough to identify Hong Zhitao."
"only……"
"I found something wrong!"
Fang Jiating pointed at Ma Li: "Ma Li said that he was reviewing at home and heard a noise downstairs, so he quickly looked down."
"He saw Hong Zhitao threatening Qian Ri'an with a knife."
"Pay attention to this sentence,"
"My knife can cut through chains!"
The uncomfortable feeling that everyone was feeling came back.
Yuan Haoyun frowned and said, "This confession is like watching a TV martial arts drama. Who would tell others that his knife can even cut through chain links?"
He suddenly reacted: "Pick! Could it really be a line?!"
Everyone was stunned.
Sha Dan said, "You mean... Ma Li didn't hear the conversation between the two at all, and he just copied the lines from the TV?"
Fang Zhuohua immediately said, "Just check the lines from that night and you'll know! We can also use the TV station to find out the exact time of the crime."
Fang Jiating clapped his hands: "There are seven witnesses in the file, and the testimonies of these two witnesses must be questioned."
"Then I have reason to doubt that the testimonies of others are also unreliable!"
"From the time Hong Zhitao was arrested until his sentencing, he always insisted that he was innocent."
"I have a reason to find out the truth!"
He picked up the pointer and made a circle around the seven people.
"Including Hong Zhitao, only a few of them have had contact with Qian Ri'an."
"That is to say..."
"If Hong Zhitao is not the murderer."
"The murderer must be among these seven people."
"Investigate! Dig up all the information about these people!"
"And the deceased Qian Ri'an. Such a rich man actually went to such a remote bar to drink..."
"There are indeed many doubts!" "Go ahead, I will gather all the information in the shortest possible time."
Fang Zhuohua, who had solved the case with Fang Jiating at the beginning, was delighted and asked tentatively: "Brother Ting, do you have a guess?"
Everyone looked at Fang Jiating.
Fang Jiating said calmly: "Yes, but I need evidence. I hope it's not what I imagined!"
……
In the meeting room of the serious crime squad, all members of Group B gathered.
After a round of search, everyone had some results. This time Yuan Haoyun presided over the meeting, while Fang Jiating and Cao Shaoping listened below.
Yuan Haoyun said: "I investigated Qian Ri'an's life trajectory. He is a very sentimental person and rarely even goes to food stalls."
"According to the investigation, no one has ever heard of him going to any shabby, remote bar."
"Qian Ri'an's favorite places to go are high-end hotels such as Caesar Palace and Wenxin Pavilion."
"Qian Ri'an had a date that day, but he rushed to the Huangshi Street Bar after receiving a phone call at home."
"I checked the number and it came from a phone booth outside on Yellowstone Street."
Fang Zhuohua concluded: "In other words... someone made an appointment with Qian Ri'an, and this matter was quite important, forcing him to change his schedule temporarily."
Yuan Haoyun nodded:
"That's right! And I think the person who asked Qian Ri'an out couldn't be Hong Zhitao."
He paused,
"I've also investigated Hong Zhitao's background. He's a street thug... Note, a real thug, not a bad boy."
"He is an illegitimate child. His mother died early due to illness, and his father passed away before he was born."
"No one disciplines this kid, so he can only wander the streets."
"He has a thick police record. All the crimes he committed were petty thefts. A real bad boy wouldn't leave such a record."
"Qian Ri'an and Hong Zhitao are from completely different worlds,"
"They can't have a common language."
Aaron said: "That is to say, there is a high probability that Hong Zhitao was wrongly accused!"
Yuan Haoyun nodded: "That's right! Then... the murderer can only be one of these seven witnesses."
Aaron said, "Okay, it's my turn to speak. I will be responsible for investigating the boss lady Ye Cuihe."
"According to my investigation, her bar's business is mediocre and can only barely maintain itself. She makes almost no money every month, and she even borrows from loan sharks."
"The strange thing is that within a few days of the incident, she paid back all the money."
"The other person who testified with her, Lin Jian, has just retired."
"He also received a large pension."
"but……"
"After the incident, I don't know where the money went!"
Everyone was moved. Yuan Haoyun seemed to be thinking: "That is to say... Lin Jian and Ye Cuihe are suspicious?"
A Long laughed and said, "Didn't Brother Ting say that if the murderer wasn't Hong Zhitao, then it must be someone else!"
"These seven witnesses are all suspicious!"
"I also found out that Lin Jian's daughter was once a mistress of a rich man and gave birth to a son."
"After Lin Jian retired, he lived with his grandson."
"However, a year ago, his daughter died in a car accident."
“Who is the father of my grandson… No one knows.”
Yuan Haoyun asked, "Did Lin Jian say who it was?"
Aaron shook his head: "No! He just said that his daughter didn't tell him. I suspect that this rich man is Qian Ri'an."
"It's very simple to confirm this. Just ask Director Gu from the Forensic Department to do a paternity test for them."
"I have already done it. I am just waiting for the news."
Yuan Haoyun praised: "Well done!"
