Chapter 342 Lock in the suspect!
Chapter 342 Lock in the suspect!
Although Jia Dongming already had a general understanding of the case at hand, he still had to continue with the necessary procedures.
After Jia Dongming and Xiao Zhang finished recording what he said, he led everyone into the house, pointed at the footprints on the ground, and said to Zhao Gang and others: "Zhao Gang! Arrange two people to collect footprints at the scene."
"After the footprints are collected, we will arrange for someone to go into the inner room with the deceased's family to check whether there are any signs of rummaging in the house and whether the deceased's money has been robbed, so as to rule out the motive of murder for money."
"Deputy Captain! The deceased's trousers were very loose, and the rope around his waist was tied backwards. We can preliminarily rule out the possibility that he was tied by himself. We suspect that the deceased was sexually assaulted before his death." A police officer in charge of investigating the scene quickly discovered clues on the body and immediately reported it to Jia Dongming.
As for the cause of the victim's death, Jia Dongming had already obtained the final result through his Eagle Eye skills when he just arrived at the scene.
"Deputy Captain! We collected four sets of footprints at the scene. Based on the footprints of the deceased and his family, we preliminarily judge that the two extra sets of footprints are likely left by the murderer." The public security officer in charge of collecting footprints reported his findings to Jia Dongming after he finished collecting footprints at the scene.
After hearing the report from his subordinates, Jia Dongming asked in a serious tone, "Ye Jun! First, tell me about these two sets of suspicious footprints. Then, based on these two sets of footprints, eliminate the residents in the courtyard one by one to see if you can find any suspicious people."
"Deputy Captain! Cui Hao has checked the family's finances and confirmed that no property was lost. At present, the possibility of burglary and murder can basically be ruled out." After collecting footprints at the scene, Zhao Gang led Cui Hao into the house. Not long after, Zhao Gang walked out of the house and reported the results to Jia Dongming with a serious face.
After hearing Zhao Gang's report, Jia Dongming nodded subconsciously and introduced Zhao Gang in a serious tone, "Zhao Gang! The doors and windows of the deceased's home were not damaged. In addition, the wound on the back of the head indicates that the deceased must have known the murderer, which is why he was not on guard against the murderer."
"Based on the footprints collected at the scene, there should be more than two murderers. Go and call Cui Hao over now. I want to find him to learn more about the situation."
Soon Zhao Gang led Cui Hao out of the inner room. Jia Dongming looked at Cui Hao, whose eyes were red from crying, and said to him seriously, "Cui Hao! According to the results of our on-site investigation, the murderer should know your wife, and there are more than two of them."
"Now think carefully, do you two have any very good friends, especially male friends, and the kind that your wife can safely let into your home even when you are not at home?"
Cui Hao listened to Jia Dongming's question and thought about it carefully for a while before answering with a painful look on his face: "Chief Jia! My husband and I have just started working not long ago, and we are from other places, so we don't have any particularly good friends in the city. As for the people we interact with on a daily basis, apart from our neighbors in the courtyard, we are colleagues at work."
After hearing Cui Hao's introduction, Jia Dongming pondered for a moment and asked Cui Hao seriously, "Cui Hao! Among the people you know, does anyone know that your wife is resting at home today and not going to work in the art troupe?"
When Cui Hao heard the question raised by Jia Dongming, he carefully recalled what happened today in his mind and introduced: "Chief Jia! This morning, when I went to my wife's unit to ask for leave for her, I didn't meet anyone. But at noon, I had lunch with my wife at home. On the way back to work, I met one of my wife's colleagues, Zhu Jun, and his elder brother Zhu Liang."
"At that time, Zhu Jun asked me why my wife didn't go to work this morning. I casually said that my wife was sick today and was resting at home. I also told him that I planned to go to the market after get off work in the evening to see if there was any meat to buy. I planned to give my wife some good nourishment so that she could give birth to a big fat boy next year."
When Jia Dongming heard Cui Hao's introduction, he thought of the two unfamiliar footprints left at the scene and immediately asked Cui Hao: "Comrade Cui Hao! How tall are the two brothers Zhu Jun and Zhu Liang you just mentioned?" Cui Hao heard Jia Dongming asking about the Zhu Jun brothers. Although he didn't understand why Jia Dongming asked this, he still answered truthfully: "Chief Jia! Zhu Jun is 1.72 meters tall and weighs about 140 kilograms. Zhu Jun's brother Zhu Liang is a little taller, about 1.75 meters tall, and weighs about 160 kilograms."
"Also, when my wife and I were dating, I heard from her colleagues that when my wife first joined the art troupe, the deputy director of the troupe tried to match my wife with Zhu Liang, but my wife found that Zhu Liang had a very hot temper and did not agree to date him."
After hearing what Cui Hao said, Jia Dongming was basically able to conclude that the two brothers Zhu Liang and Zhu Jun were the real murderers of Wang Huifang.
Realizing this, Jia Dongming immediately asked Cui Hao: "Comrade Cui Hao! Do you know where these two brothers live?"
Cui Hao subconsciously shook his head when he heard Jia Dongming's question and replied, "Chief Jia! I don't know where the Zhu Liang brothers live, but I know that Deputy Director Zhu of the Art Troupe is their aunt. You just need to go find Deputy Director Zhu and you should be able to find where the brothers live."
Cui Hao said this, and asked Jia Dongming with a puzzled look on his face: "Chief Jia! Do you suspect that these two people are the murderers of my wife?"
Jia Dongming heard Cui Hao's question and saw the other party's puzzled expression. He replied seriously: "Comrade Cui Hao! According to the information we have so far, these two people are suspected of committing the crime. As for whether these two people are the murderers of your wife, we need to further investigate and collect evidence."
Although Jia Dongming's answer was very tactful, Cui Hao had already determined that these two people were the murderers of Wang Huifang. With this thought in mind, Cui Hao's eyes flashed with hatred and he cursed angrily: "Damn Zhu Jun and Zhu Liang, I'm going to find them."
When Jia Dongming saw Cui Hao running out of the house with red eyes, he immediately reached out and grabbed Cui Hao's arm, and said to Cui Hao: "Cui Hao! At present, we are just suspecting, and we have not confirmed whether these two people are the murderers. If you go to find these two people now, it will not only be detrimental to our solving the case, but it may also alert the enemy."
When Cui Hao heard Jia Dongming's words and thought of his wife who had died tragically, he finally suppressed his anger and said to Jia Dongming, "Chief Jia! Although I don't know where the Zhu Jun brothers live, I know someone must know. I will take you to find that person now."
After hearing Cui Hao's answer and seeing Cui Hao's red eyes, Jia Dongming asked Cui Hao, "Cui Hao! Who is the person you are talking about? Where does he live? We will send someone to find him and find out the situation."
When Cui Hao heard Jia Dongming's question, he thought of what Jia Dongming had just mentioned, and he quickly introduced Jia Dongming: "Chief Jia! The person I'm talking about is my wife's colleague. Her name is Liu Fang. She lives in the yard of No. 12 Qinlao Hutong. This morning I asked Liu Fang to help my wife get leave."
After hearing Cui Hao's introduction, Jia Dongming immediately ordered Zhao Gang, "Zhao Gang! Send two people to Qinlao Hutong No. 12 to ask Liu Fang about the residence of Zhu Jun and his brother."
Through the conversation between Jia Dongming and Cui Hao just now, Zhao Gang has determined that the Zhu Jun brothers are highly suspicious. After hearing Jia Dongming's instructions, he immediately arranged for two people to go to Qinlao Hutong to inquire about the residence of the Zhu Jun brothers.
