[Rebirth] Bone Quest

Chapter 19 The Illusion Floating on the Surface

The bracelet that Qi Ji brought back was stained with blood and fingerprints. After testing, it was found that the DNA matched Li Xiaomin, while the fingerprints belonged to Xiao Yuanzheng.

After Xiao Yuanzheng found out, he yelled that he was innocent, saying that he had no idea why the bracelet was found in his home, but his resistance was powerless in front of the iron evidence. In the end, neither his lawyer nor Xiao Guozhen There was no way to find a reason to release him on bail.

Although a bracelet is not enough to punish him, at least he cannot get rid of the suspicion. Before the truth is found out, he can only be asked to live in the police station for a few days.

In a blink of an eye, August is here, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the air is still so humid that people feel suffocating.The serious crime team, which has been busy for more than half a month, finally had time to take a break this day, and everyone hid in the air-conditioned room and did not go out.

Ouyang and Shu Qing had stayed up three nights searching for evidence before, but now they kept yawning with big dark circles around their eyes.Qi Ji sat in front of the computer with his chin resting on his back, not knowing what he was busy with, but looking at his chicken coop-like hair, he knew that this guy probably hadn't slept well for several days because of the case.

He Junzhi was full of energy. He worked in the tea room all morning to make six cups of watermelon smoothies and brought them to the office for everyone to eat.

Qiao Yu hugged the "Porcelain Soul" written by Xiao Guozhen, and sat quietly on a chair to eat ice. At first glance, he really looked like a young master raised in a scholarly family. A pile of bloody photos of Li Xiaomin after his death made everyone's stomachs churn, and when they looked down at the red watermelon smoothie in their hands, they choked speechlessly...

This is what Cong Rong saw when he came in with a dark face. He unbuttoned his shirt and sat on a chair rubbing the corners of his sore brows. Cursed with his nose.

Qi Ji curled his lips at Qiao Yu secretly, raised his eyebrows and faltered for a long time, meaning: The boss is probably being scolded by the director again, so hurry up and give condolences.

It's a pity that Qiao Yu seems to have a cold temper, and he is even more nerve-wracking when it comes to emotional matters. He put down the hands and tilted his head and asked in confusion, "Qi Ji, what did you say?"

The voice was not loud enough to be heard by everyone, including Cong Rong of course.N black lines instantly hung on everyone's foreheads—Xing Xing, why are you so dull!

Qi Ji rubbed his forehead and curled his lips, "It's nothing, nothing... I didn't say anything..."

Qiao Yu shrugged. He didn't know what was going on with this group of people. He glanced at Cong Rong with a gloomy expression and said nothing. He lowered his head and continued to read.

Although he really wanted to go up and ask what happened to Cong Rong, but the two of them are still stiff now, usually avoiding each other even going to and from get off work. At this time, Cong Rong must have poured cold water on him in the past. Staring at himself with a trace of emotion, he felt very uncomfortable.

Ouyang and Shu Qing, who were watching from the side, were so anxious that they wanted to go up and slap Qiao Yu twice. They didn't know that the gentle and considerate Shou was a necessary medicine for Xiao Gong to travel at home!Star this idiot!

When the atmosphere was extremely cold, Cong Rong suddenly stood up and clapped his hands, "Cheer up, the conference room will have a meeting in 10 minutes." After speaking, he walked into the office with a cold face.

Everyone stuck out their tongues and lowered their heads disheveledly to prepare materials. This time the case was full of ups and downs, and the pressure on the boss can be imagined. It seems that the director sincerely does not want to let the serious crime team have a leisurely time.

==============================================

Cong Rong sat at the head seat of the conference table, still thinking about what the director had just said to him.

"Cong Rong, I'm not young anymore. In two or three years, I will basically retire and go home to take care of my grandson. This case is involved with the X case a few years ago. The impact is too bad. Now society You can feel the pressure of the police without me saying anything. But since I handed over this case to the serious crimes team, it means that I believe in your strength, do you understand what I mean?"

"Yes, Director, I will do my best to find the real culprit."

"Well, there are one after another homicide cases in T city. We can't afford to delay. If we have clues, we should close the case as soon as possible. You should understand what I mean. You don't need to be as thorough as I said. You have to know, given the size of this case , If you break it, you have been promoted to at least two levels in a row, so I don’t need to say more about what to do.”

"But based on the evidence we have now..."

"There is nothing but what the police say is the truth when necessary."

Shaking his head and taking a deep breath, now is not the time to think about these things, the top priority is to solve the case as soon as possible.

"Now, everyone, summarize the information at hand and talk about the valuable ones."

Qi Ji spread his arms and said loudly: "We visited the PUB that Xiao Yuanzheng went to on the day of the incident. The bartender there knew Xiao Yuanzheng so he remembered it very clearly. Xiao Yuanzheng left after showing up at the PUB that day. In other words, between the morning of the incident and 02:30 in the afternoon, Xiao Yuanzheng had sufficient preparation time to implement the plan."

"That's right, and after checking the road condition monitoring video of the day, it was found that a black BMW with the license plate KZ8400 appeared twice on the national road that must pass through the small forest in the outskirts of the city between [-]:[-] p.m. and [-]:[-] a.m. And the owner of this car is Xiao Yuanzheng. This proves that Xiao Yuanzheng was not at home at all that night, he was lying." He Junzhi picked up the remote control and clicked a few times, and the monitoring of that night was immediately played on the big screen video.

When the number [-]:[-] appeared on the upper right corner of the screen, a black BMW car appeared, until the car drove by again at [-] o'clock in the morning, Qiao Yu frowned and said suddenly: "Wait, stop here .”

Qiao Yu stared at the windshield in front of the car, trying hard to see the people in the car clearly, but the picture was too small and only a general outline could be seen, "Can you zoom in? Zoom in."

He Junzhi pressed the remote control a few times, and the screen was maximized. When everyone saw the person in the driver's seat clearly, they all gasped.

There is a person in white clothes sitting in a black BMW car. Because the picture is blurry, I can’t see the specific details clearly, but I can see that there is a mask on this person’s face, and on the mask is a big smiling face. , It looked extraordinarily weird in such a dark night.

"Go back and look at the picture at ten thirty." Cong Rong said while holding the big screen.

At [-]:[-] in the picture, it was still the black BMW, but this time the person sitting in the cab was wearing a colorful shirt. The outline and style were very similar to Xiao Yuanzheng's style, but this person still wore a A mask, can't see the real look.

"Xiao Yuanzheng is really cunning. He knew that there was surveillance in this area, so he wore a mask to cover his face and confuse our sight. He ran to the wilderness in the middle of the night and changed his clothes when he came back. This is too weird." He Jun sighed.

"The matter has become very clear. Xiao Yuanzheng has been lying from the beginning to the end. He hates Li Xiaomin's threats to him, and is angry that Li Xiaomin has not slept with him for so long. At this time, he thought that Li Xiaomin could not do without him, but Li Xiaomin started When he mentioned breaking up, he felt that he had hurt his face, and in a fit of anger, he became vicious, tied Li Xiaomin to the grove, raped and then killed, and then used his professional knowledge to dig out the liver, creating the illusion of X killing people."

Qi Ji spoke out his conjecture in a single brain, and finally waved his hands triumphantly, "Is this analysis thorough enough?"

Ouyang patted Qiji on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Okay, the circuit of this head has been opened."

He Junzhi leaned back on the chair with a long sigh and fanned the wind with his hands, "All the evidence points to Xiao Yuanzheng, let's see how he quibbles this time. Looking through his files, he has a lot of criminal records, and he also has a bad record of molesting underage girls. We have every reason to suspect that he is back to his old ways."

Shu Qing smiled and said: "I said, I can't tell that Xiao Yuanzheng is quite a thief. He pretends to be a nouveau riche, but he is actually quite shrewd. He also knows how to use X's murder method to deceive others."

Ouyang scratched his head, "In this way, the case is considered solved?"

"not yet."

"not yet."

Cong Rong and Qiao Yu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke tacitly. After they finished speaking, they looked up at each other in surprise. Qiao Yu looked away in embarrassment, and Cong Rong raised his eyebrows unconsciously and smiled.

"Yo yo yo, what is a tacit understanding, this is called a tacit understanding~ It's been so many days, you two don't hold it back, it makes you upset when you look at it. If you have something to say, you can't talk about it, as the saying goes' If the prime minister can row a boat in his belly, the husband and wife will return home."

Qiao Yu blushed once in a century, and he couldn't understand why he was almost 30 years old, and he was still angry with Cong Rong like a boy, but he was always holding a breath in his heart and couldn't swallow it, and couldn't spit it out When he came out, he knew that it was wrong to hurt someone without authorization, but asking him to apologize to Cong Rong was even more out of the question.

Thinking about himself, this is an old cucumber with green paint, and he will recognize that he will become an idiot when he meets Cong Rong.

There was a clear smile in Cong Rong's eyes. In fact, he was not angry with Li Yexing for a long time, but he should not be used to it when teaching children. For a team member like Yexing who is so lawless and disobedient to commands, let him show some color. .

If he was really angry, he could have directly fired him from the police station, but every time he thought of Li Yexing's eyes with water, his heart felt uncomfortable.As for Li Yexing, it doesn't matter how much he struggles, and if someone hurts him, he will never stop with him. This kind of mentality, which is similar to that of an old hen, is really amazing.

Thinking about Cong Rong's mouth turned up unconsciously, Ouyang and Shu Qing, who were sitting next to him, looked at the boss's cloudy and sunny face and shouted that they couldn't stand it.

Cong Rong coughed lightly, put away his endless thoughts, put on a paralyzed face and said to Qiao Yu, "Tell me what you think."

Qiao Yu pondered for a while, "I think we have gone in the wrong direction in this case from the beginning to the end."

"Going in the wrong direction!? Now that the evidence is solid, how can we say that we are going in the wrong direction! Could it be that the bloody bracelet, the bartender's statement and the surveillance video of the night of the crime are all fake? These are enough for us to send Xiao Yuanzheng to the police station!" It's time for the court." Qi Ji was in a hurry.

"But Xiao Yuanzheng never admitted it from the beginning to the end. The person who left those words in Li Xiaomin's diary is very proficient in porcelain at first glance, and this person's thinking is very clear. He knows how to use Li Xiaomin's mind step by step to lure her into the bait. Do you think Xiao Yuanzheng looks like that? From the day he made his statement, he was incoherent when he spoke, full of swear words and shallow knowledge. Would this kind of person be smart enough to imitate X to kill people? I doubt he even who X is. I don't even know." Qiao Yu said calmly.

"This is all his means to confuse the police! If he wants to kill someone, he won't write 'I am a murderer' on his face. If the evidence is solid, we can still prosecute him even if we don't have his confession." Qi Ji scratched his hair impatiently, looking puzzled.

"Qiji, not only that..." Cong Rong cast a secretive look at the puzzled crowd, and continued, "Have you all forgotten that Li Xiaomin's liver was lost? Take a step back and say that all the evidence against Xiao Yuanzheng is established. , He has been deceiving the police, so how to explain this lost liver? I don’t need to say how rich the Xiao family is. He is a rich second-generation family with countless assets. Why do you want a liver? It can’t be used for collection, right? "

Qi Ji was at a loss for words for a moment, sitting on a chair with a flushed face and frustrated, not knowing how to refute.He really didn't think about this crucial issue, but seeing that the evidence was convincing but the case could not be closed, he felt extremely depressed.

"Boss, what do we do next according to what you want? The director puts a lot of pressure on you, right? There is no way for us to delay like this." He Junzhi said worriedly.

Cong Rong thought of what the director had said to him just now, and frowned again.Why didn't he want to close the case quickly, but he couldn't do it by sending Xiao Yuanzheng to prison for no apparent reason.He knew what the chief meant, like Ming Jing, and it was nothing more than intimidating and luring him to give an explanation to the society quickly, reshape the image of the police department, and if necessary, even if the real culprit was not caught, he could just find a scapegoat.

But he is a policeman and has his own principles. He doesn't understand those intrigues and intrigues in the officialdom, but it is absolutely impossible for him to give up the most basic principles of life for the sake of official position.

When everyone was deep in thought, Qiao Yu suddenly put a book in front of Cong Rong.

"Instead of wasting time on Xiao Yuanzheng, we might as well find out why Li Xiaomin is so passionate about porcelain. This case started with porcelain from beginning to end, so we should start here, right?"

Cong Rong lowered his head, and a copy of Xiao Guozhen's "Porcelain Soul" was placed in front of him. The title of the opened page was "The five internal organs and five elements, the soul of porcelain town"

"what do you mean……?"

"Don't you think the title is interesting? The five internal organs refer to the liver, heart, spleen, lungs, and kidneys. What does this have to do with porcelain?"
