Chapter 19

On October 30, 3020, the criminal investigation held a case analysis meeting in the conference room.

Jiang Chengyan looked at everyone and said, Do you have anything else to add?

Seeing everyone shaking their heads, Jiang Chengyan continued, since you guys are done, its my turn now. Yesterday, Su Ke and I went to the Balong Bar and met Kong Fang, the owner of the bar.  We unexpectedly found out that Kong Fang was Jiang Changpings gay partner.

Everyone was in an uproar, and they never expected that the person they were looking for would be found so easily by Jiang Chengyan. Yao Min smiled and said, Our captain is worthy of being the captain. He found that mysterious third person so easily. How about it, is this Kong Fang handsome?

Jiang Chengyan was stunned, damn girl, is your focus wrong?

This is not a curiosity. Most bar owners are handsome guys, and Jiang Changping was not bad-looking before his death. The lover he found should be no different.

Whether he is handsome or not, it has nothing to do with you. Jiang Chengyan glanced at Yao Min in amusement. He pondered for a while before continuing, Jiang Changpings so-called business trip was actually with Kong Fang. The reason why he bought things near Guangmei district was because Kong Fangs family has a residence there, where they often meet. After leaving home on the 20th, Jiang Changpin drove to Guangmei Community. They left together at 8 pm on the 22nd. Kong Fang returned to Hemei district, and Jiang Changping disappeared.

They separated at 8 pm on the 22nd, and Jiang Changping was killed from 10 to 11 pm. If what Kong Fang said is true, then the murderer cannot be Kong Fang.

Jiang Chengyan nodded and said, I have retrieved the surveillance videos of the two districts separately.  I can confirm that Kong Fang did leave Guangmei community at 8:00 and returned to the Heimei community around 9:00. Until the next morning at 8:20, he left the Heimei community and drove alone to Ancheng.

Ancheng?

Yes, Ancheng. He stayed at the Xingdu Hotel that day, went to eat with his friends at 6 pm in the evening before returning to the hotel at about 8 pm, and never went out again. Until noon on the 24th, his friend found out that he had a high fever and was sent to the hospital. When I contacted him, he was still in the hospital with pneumonia caused by a high fever and with pneumothorax. I have asked my colleagues in Ancheng to help verify these circumstances and Kong Fangs suspicions are basically cleared.

Yao Min said with a frown, If it was like that, whether it was for money or because of  love, Li Qiu Ran is still the biggest suspect.

Liu Ran said, But she also has an alibi. Dont forget that after six pm in the evening on the 22nd, she never went out again.

Everyone fell silent. The three most suspected people were Li Qiuran, Kong Fang, and Jiang Cheng. The tree of them also had an alibi. Although Li Qiuran and Kong Fang had no witnesses, the surveillance video showed that neither of them had gone out at the time when the crime happened.

Wait, we missed something. Seeing everyones attention, Jiang Chengyan continued, We missed the first crime scene. Li Qiuran and Kong Fang have never been out, but that doesnt mean Jiang Changping didnt go to them.

Captain means Jiang Changping went back home? But its impossible. I watched the surveillance videos and Jiang Changpings car did not enter and exit the Heping Community on the night of the 22nd.  If Jiang Changping appeared in the surveillance video, Impossible for me not to recognize it. Could it be that he went to Kong Fangs place? Yao Min asked questions.

Its impossible. Kong Fang went to Ancheng early on the 23rd and didnt come back until the 29th. Theres no time to dump the body. Li Tong spouted his opinion.

Liu Ran said, Maybe theres someone else who dumped the body, so he can be completely ruled out as a suspect?

Jiang Chengyan said,  I watched the surveillance video of Hemei Community. I can confirm that Jiang Changping has never been to Hemei  Community. At least in our existing data, he has not appeared.

Yao Min asked in confusion, Captain, what do you mean?

I just suggested one possibility, but there is still another possibility.

Yao Min asked impatiently, Aiya Captain. Dont be a jerk. What else is the possibility? Tell me quickly.

Whether its the Heimei Community or Heping Community, their monitoring facilities are not perfect, and there are loopholes. As long as the murderer seizes this loophole, he can completely avoid our sight.

Loopholes? Everyone looked at each other, frowning, and started to think.

The loophole is in the basement. There are no surveillance cameras outside the elevator there. Just go down the stairs to the basement and then walk out from whichever unit building it is, you can perfectly avoid the surveillance cameras of Building 5, also out of our sight.

Yao Mins eyes lit up and said excitedly, So as long as we look up the surveillance videos of other units and whoever is it, it must be the murderer.

Dont be happy too early, this is just my guess. After all, we havent found the first crime scene and the murder weapon.

Zhang Liang asked loudly, Captain, I have always had a question. Why did the killer drive the car back to Guangmei Community again after dumping the body?

Li Tong replied, Of course, they want to hide the car so we cant check it, what else?

Zhang Liang frowned slightly, But we found that car and did not waste much effort. If I were the murderer, I would not use Jiang Changpings car. It would be too conspicuous, and I always felt that the murderers intention was not that simple.

Jiang Chengyang was alarmed then nodded thoughtfully, This is indeed a suspicious point.

Also place where they dump the body. Xinmin Community is in the west while Guangmei Community is in the east. Even if the murderer wants to find a hidden place, he doesnt have to go through more than half of the city.

Jiang Chengyans eyes lit up, Thats right. Zhang Lians question has a point. Guangmei Community is the place where Kong Fang and Jiang Changping are dating, meanwhile, Xinmin Community  and Heimei Community were only two blocks away, so the killers intention was to

The murderers intention was to draw our attention to Kong Fang. Wang Bin suddenly realized.

Killed Jiang Changping, then framed Kong Fang. Two birds with one stone, get rid of them both at once. The suspect is almost ready to come out. I cant think of a second person except for Li qiuran. Li Tong couldnt help sighing, If its really as we guessed, then this Li Qiuran is too cruel, right?

Liu Ran also sighed, As the saying goes, You love too much Itll turn to hate. If Li Qiuran knew that her husband had never loved her from the beginning and cheated on herself with a man for three years, she just would make a fool of herself.  It would not be impossible to do something extreme. Whats more, she grew up in such a family environment, which will have some impact on her character.

This is just our assumption, as for whether it was true, it depends on everyones investigation. Jiang Chengyan paused before he continued, Now, I will assign the task. Liu Ran and Wang Bin, you go to verify the evidence of Jiang Chengs alibi and make sure there are no loopholes. Li Tong and Zhang Liang, you should check the surveillance of Heping Community. Do not miss any videos as long as it is two hours before and after the incident. Guo Hai and Chen Miao, you go to check the surveillance video of the Heimei Community, although the possibility of Kong Fang committing a crime is not high, to avoid errors in judgment, it was necessary to completely eliminate the suspicions on him. As for Yao Min, check how many clinics there are in Huacheng to see whether Li Qiuran has a mental illness. Thats all the task, are we clear?

Seeing everyone answering one after another, Jiang Chengyan nodded, This time the task is a bit heavy, everyone holds on to it. I always feel that we are not far from closing the case.

Yes, captain.

The meeting is over. Take your place.

Everyone dispersed one after another, Jiang Chengyan packed up his things, turned around, and went to the trace inspection department.

Section Qin, how is it? Did you find anything on that car?

I found a lot. Qin An turned to look at Jiang Chengyan.

Jiang Chengyan looks so eager, A lot? This is a good thing, tell me what you found?

Qin An handed a dozen documents to Jiang Chengyan, You can see for yourself.

So many? Jiang Chengyan took the information in surprise, glanced at it, and said, Section Qin, you better summarize it for me. So I can get the clues.

A lot of fingerprints were found in the car. There were ten people in total. Those identified were Jiang Changping, Li Qiuran, Jiang Xiaohan, Jiang Cheng, Kong Fang, Li Li, and Gao Ping. The remaining three fingerprints did not match in the database.

So many? Jiang Chengyan frowned slightly.

Not only that but there is also some hair and dander in the car, which also belongs to these people. There is no trace of this car being cleaned at all, which is completely different from previous cases.

What else?

In the trunk of the vehicle, Jiang Changpings blood was also found. It was still the same as before that it was not cleaned at all. For where the blood is stained, as long as you open the trunk, you can see it at a glance.

Jiang Chengyans brows  frowned even tighter when he heard this, Its too unreasonable for the murderer to do this.

Ive done trace inspections for so many years, and its not like Ive never seen this before, but most of them are too late to clean up, and this murderer has plenty of time, but he has no plans to clean up at all. This is very confusing.

What about the murder weapon? Did you find a murder weapon in the car or a sharp weapon for dismembering the body?

The neck of the deceased was destroyed. We cant determine what the murder weapon was. How can we find it? But an ax was found in the trunk of the car. It was stained with blood. It should have been used by the murderer to divide the body.

The ax used for dismembering the corpse was placed in the trunk, but the murder weapon could not be found, which shows that the murder weapon is very iconic, so the murderer will hide it.

If thats the case, nine out of ten the murder weapon will be destroyed.

Jiang Chengyan nodded thoughtfully, I probably can guess the reason why the murderer did this.

Qin An startled, and asked with interest Oh, lets hear it.

In the previous case analysis, we speculated that the reason why the killer drove to Xinmin Community to dump the body and then drove the car back to Guangmei Community is to draw our attention to Kong Fang. And this discovery in the car  just confirms that.

A set-up? It seems this murderer really hates Jiang Changping and Kong Fang to the bone.
