Chapter 1058 Twists and turns

"Are the results out?"

Jiang Yuan completed the investigation and returned to the Changyang City Criminal Police Detachment. The first thing he asked Meng Chengbiao was this question.

Meng Chengbiao shook his head: "It's not going very smoothly. Li Haojie is still a minor, and there are many restrictions during the interrogation. It will probably take another day, at least."

"Don't worry." Jiang Yuan's emotions were quite stable.

Jiang Yuan's backlog case task force was equivalent to handling cases in a different place. In addition, due to Jiang Yuan's fame, countless eyes were watching, wishing that every step was put under a magnifying glass. Various procedural requirements inevitably reduced the efficiency of the interrogation. Jiang Yuan had already anticipated this.

Meng Chengbiao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'll go back and think of a way to make a breakthrough. The prosecutor from the local procuratorate will be following me throughout the process, and I have to write something for him."

Jiang Yuan comforted Meng Chengbiao with a few more words and then went to the Changyang City Criminal Science Center to read the report produced by the laboratory there.

Many people read reports just to see the conclusions in the report, but this obviously gives them the least information. The conclusions in the report can be revised, and in many cases they need to be read in conjunction with the specific information in the report. Furthermore, the specific information in the report can provide more guidance.

Wan Baoming, director of the Criminal Science and Technology Center, walked with Jiang Yuan and took a cart full of information, all of which were various samples brought back in the past two days, including a lot of trace physical evidence.

Several people sat in the office and studied together for a long time. Finally, Jiang Yuan put down the report in his hand and said, "It's basically useless."

"That's right." Wan Baoming sighed.

"Don't be in a hurry." Jiang Yuan is now very experienced in handling cases. Without any skills, he can be a qualified task force leader.

Although this case is still serious, Jiang Yuan is still very confident.

Jiang Yuan said: "The Criminal Division will continue to collect evidence to see if they can identify Li Haojie. Li Haojie is a minor, and his family may be hoping for the best. If there is some strong evidence to prove his guilt, the Li family will probably give up."

Wan Baoming nodded heavily: "Li Haojie is already over 16 years old. He can be tried and sentenced as an adult. Even if he cannot be sentenced to death, he can be sentenced to life imprisonment."

Jiang Yuan nodded.

As they were talking, Jiang Yuan's phone rang.

Jiang Yuan answered the phone and Meng Chengbiao's voice was dull.

Meng Chengbiao: "Captain Jiang, there is an accident."

Jiang Yuan frowned, and the spirit of a forensic doctor instantly took over: "Did you interrogate someone to death?"

"No, no." Meng Chengbiao felt a little relieved. If Jiang Yuan thought that the death of a person during the trial was a little unexpected, then what he was going to say now was really no big deal.

Jiang Yuan: "What accident?"

Meng Chengbiao coughed twice, and his tone became more serious. He said, "Li Haojie confessed that he did have a premature love affair with the victim, Sun Xiuwen, and he climbed up the window of Li's house many times. He would occasionally ask Sun Xiuwen to come out to play. But... on the day of the incident, Li Haojie had an alibi and claimed that he did not ask Sun Xiuwen out."

"What evidence?"

"He filmed several videos at home and also had a video call with relatives from other places. After preliminary verification, it seems to be true."

"In other words, Li Haojie has been cleared of suspicion again?" Jiang Yuan raised his voice a little bit into the microphone, sounding a little unhappy.

"Yes." Meng Chengbiao answered helplessly.

"Where is Li Haojie's brother? He should be an adult now. Has he been interrogated?" Jiang Yuan was still a little unhappy.

"He is an adult, and the interrogation went smoothly, but he was also at home that day and participated in the video call with that relative. In addition, Li Haojie's brother has a mobile phone, and we have searched it, but there is no evidence."

Having said that, Li Haojie's family has basically been ruled out as a suspect.

Jiang Yuan frowned slightly.

Meng Chengbiao waited for a few seconds, and when he saw no response on the phone, he couldn't help but ask, "Captain Jiang, in this case, should we consider a sudden and impulsive killing?"

"Unlikely." Jiang Yuan said firmly: "The Criminal Police Brigade considered random killings before, based on the time of death being between 6 and 8 in the morning. This time period is when the deceased goes to school, and there is a possibility that he could be seen by passers-by and then assaulted."

Jiang Yuan said into the phone, "Now, the time of death is confirmed to be 3 a.m. At this time, the victim, Sun Xiuwen, could not enter or exit through the main entrance. Her mother and stepfather live on the first floor and can hear everything going on at the door. Moreover, Sun Xiuwen already has a mature strategy for climbing over the wall, so there is no need to take the risk of entering through the main entrance."

Meng Chengbiao understood a little bit at this time, and couldn't help but say: "The jeans that Sun Xiuwen used to climb over the wall were rolled up and placed in the closet. If Sun Xiuwen climbed down the stairs alone, who would help her collect the jeans?"

Jiang Yuan: “That’s right.”

Meng Chengbiao was completely confused and couldn't help but say, "This is a paradox. Sun Xiuwen didn't climb the stairs on her own initiative, but died in her own home at 3 a.m. If the murderer took the initiative to sneak into her home, her home is not the first scene. Moreover, after the murderer escaped, who put away the jeans?"

Jiang Yuan thought about it and did not answer immediately.

Meng Chengbiao's interest was piqued, and his detective instinct returned for a limited time. He said, "Could it be that Sun Xiuwen's mother was worried about public opinion and secretly put the jeans away..."

Jiang Yuan was recalling the bridge at the scene at this time, and interrupted Meng Chengbiao's words, saying: "The footprints on the wall are still relatively fresh."

"What do you mean?"

"Although it is impossible to accurately determine the exact time when the footprints were left, it can be seen that Sun Xiuwen climbed the wall quite frequently."

Meng Chengbiao put away his Holmesian thoughts and immediately turned to Watson, asking, "What does this mean?"

"Young people nowadays, do they climb over the wall just to meet their boyfriends? That's too monotonous." Jiang Yuan said, "You can interrogate Li Haojie again and ask him who Sun Xiuwen usually meets after she climbs over the wall. Who knows that she climbs over the wall? In other words, who else does she meet after she climbs over the wall besides Li Haojie?"

"Yes." Meng Chengbiao understood and took action immediately.

After half an hour.

Meng Chengbiao called again, and the first thing he said was, "Captain Jiang, you are so good at predicting things."

"Is there anyone else?" Jiang Yuan was also waiting for Meng Chengbiao's call.

Meng Chengbiao said, "Sun Xiuwen has two best friends. Occasionally, Sun Xiuwen will come out and play with her best friends."

It is not easy for a best friend to strangle another best friend, and it is even more difficult to do so with a pillow.

Jiang Yuan thought and asked, "What to play?"

"They watch movies, drink and dance together. They have a secret base. It's the relative's home of one of my bestie's boyfriend. They don't come back often, but the water, electricity and electrical appliances are all available."

Jiang Yuan heaved a sigh of relief: "That is to say, there is another man who knows that Sun Xiuwen often climbs over the wall."

"Two." Meng Chengbiao said, "Both of my besties have boyfriends."

"Bring them all back." Jiang Yuan paused and said, "I'll go to the scene again."
