Escape From the Library

【Construction Site Mystery-07】

Which of the three possibilities is the most likely?

Homicides cannot be judged subjectively, and clearer evidence must be found.Yue Xingwen asked Ke Shaobin to copy all the project materials related to Dexin Group, and also downloaded all the online reports on this matter, as well as Weibo comments, and read it carefully from beginning to end.

He found several doubts.

First, those whose Weibo ID is "Request for Justice" registered their Weibo account in September, that is, a month ago.

This shows that as early as a month ago, he was ready to expose Dexin Group's arrears of wages to workers.The Xinyue Plaza project started construction in March. Since April, the workers have not been paid monthly salaries, and wages have been in arrears for as long as 3 months.

This person endured from April until September before he registered for a small Weibo account. In September, what might have happened on the construction site that gave him the idea to "exposure this incident on Weibo" and register an account in advance?

This person must have received a good education, has a high level of language organization and incitement to public sentiment, and is very familiar with the means of exposing incidents on the Internet.

Many of the migrant workers on the construction site have graduated from junior high school, and some of them are too old to catch up with the nine-year compulsory education. They haven't even attended elementary school for a few years. account, post on Weibo online, and tag it as a hot search, @种光媒体for help.

In this way, the scope of suspicion of the person who posted Weibo can be narrowed-he should be relatively young, very familiar with mobile phones, the Internet and the media, and have a junior high school or high school education.

The second question is that after Weibo was released, there were many strange comments in the replies, especially the answer with the most likes: "It is said that the workers in Xinyue Plaza have been owed wages for half a year." This ID is called "Informer "The person who left the message is obviously also a worker at the construction site. Click on Weibo to see that it is also a small account, and the homepage only reposts some news.

There are two possibilities, either the person who posted Weibo registered a large number of trumpets, left messages and likes for himself, and gradually exposed the matter; Leave a message and forward it to increase the popularity of the incident. If this is the case, then the workers on the construction site must know who the person who tweeted is.

Multiple accomplices commit crimes?

Thinking of this possibility, Yue Xingwen looked at Jiang Pingce and said, "If the murderer still has accomplices, then Zhao Xuemei, Zhao Qiang, and Long Rui, who left in the early morning, might all be insiders? The three of them shielded each other. Is it possible to prove each other's absence and clear the suspicion?"

Jiang Pingce followed his train of thought and analyzed: "In other words, Zhao Xuemei's screaming was calculated early. After the murderer fled the scene and confirmed her safety, she woke up the workers on the construction site by screaming at 5:[-] in the morning. Everyone, most of the people were sleeping at that time, so the murderer could blend into the crowd and reduce his sense of presence. If the three people who have left the dormitory, if they prove their alibi to each other, the police investigation will come to a dead end?"

The three people who were not present testified to each other; the others were "asleep", and it was unknown who had been out, and the murderer did not leave any traces at the scene, so it was indeed difficult for the police to obtain evidence.

The murderer hidden among the workers is the real organizer of the incident. Zhao Qiang, Zhao Xuemei, and Long Rui are all accomplices?If this speculation is true, how can they find the murderer if they cover each other up?

Yue Xingwen frowned and said: "The police don't know how it is going. They should have high-tech means. Will they find fingerprints, hairs and other things on the scene and take them back for identification? If nothing is found, the surveillance will There is no trace of the murderer, and this case is likely to be classified as an accident."

Jiang Pingce said, "Where's the dead man's cell phone? It must have been taken away by the police."

Liu Zhaoqing said helplessly: "The body has been taken away, the cell phone must be with the police. There were many people watching at the scene, so we couldn't directly search for the cell phone in the pocket of the deceased, otherwise, we would also be suspects." "

Yue Xingwen was silent for a moment, and then said: "Everyone continue to keep in touch with the workers, and wait for the follow-up evidence from the police. I guess they will come to the construction site again, and it is impossible to close the case so soon."

Yue Xingwen's guess was correct. In the afternoon, the construction site suddenly became extremely lively.

First, Secretary Qin anxiously brought a group of people to express condolences, holding a loudspeaker and saying that the city government is very concerned about the workers' wage arrears and has already contacted the developer.The city leaders attach great importance to this matter and will definitely protect the rights and interests of the workers.

These are all official words. There have been fatalities in his jurisdiction, and there have been hot searches on the Internet.Therefore, Secretary Qin's attitude was very kind and gentle. He talked a lot with the workers, and his concern was palpable.

The leaders of the city personally expressed condolences, and the emotions of the workers were appeased. Many people cried to Secretary Qin about the plight of their families, hoping to pay wages as soon as possible. Secretary Qin said that he would urge the developer to solve this problem as soon as possible.

Immediately afterwards, firefighters came to inspect the construction site, and found some potential safety hazards, especially the drainage and circuit distribution of the underground garage were not in compliance, requiring the project to be rectified.

Then the police also came, and several plainclothes criminal policemen directly took away Zhao Xuemei, Zhao Liang, Zhao Qiang, and Long Rui. In addition, they also took away the Yan Kai who had bullied Xiaoliang.

Batch after batch of people came and went, and people on the construction site were panicked.

Yue Xingwen couldn't go to the police station to listen to someone's questioning, but he heard the workers' private discussions——

"Is there something wrong with Zhao Xuemei and Zhao Qiang?"

"There must be a problem. Wasn't it Zhao Xuemei's birthday last month? Zhao Qiang, a big fool, went outside and secretly bought a cake for Xuemei, but I bumped into him..."

"Zhao Qiang and Zhao Dayong quarreled because of her, right?"

"It's possible that they are all from Zhaojiacun. Zhao Xuemei and Zhao Dayong used to be neighbors." Said the young man who told Yue Xingwen a lot about "Zhaojiacun's past" in the morning, "Zhao Dayong is a boring gourd, although he doesn't like to talk. But in the past few years, when he went out to work, he sent clothes to his nephew every month, and he sent them to Zhao Xuemei for her to hand them over."

"Once, I saw Xuemei wearing a very beautiful dress. I said someone sent it to her, maybe it was sent by Zhao Dayong." The young man whispered, "Zhao Xuemei is good-looking and hardworking. , maybe both Zhao Dayong and Zhao Qiang like her, and they will quarrel."

"So that's how it is!" A group of people around showed the expressions of people eating melons.

"Zhao Qiang couldn't be responsible for Zhao Dayong's death, right? Why did the police take them all away?" A dark-skinned man said curiously, "Being jealous of a woman doesn't kill people, right? "

"It's hard to say." An old man blew smoke rings leisurely, "Maybe Zhao Xuemei and Zhao Dayong ran out to have an affair in the middle of the night and were bumped into by Zhao Qiang. Zhao Qiang accidentally pushed them downstairs in anger?"

"..." Yue Xingwen discovered that these uncles had quite rich imaginations.

"Hey, when Zhao Dayong's incident happened, the leaders were alarmed. Our wages should be settled, right?" A worker said with a sad face, "If we don't send money, the family really won't be able to solve the problem."

After listening for a long time, Yue Xingwen found that these people didn't mention Weibo at all.Yue Xingwen simply took the initiative to ask: "Brother, do you play Weibo? The incident at our construction site was posted on Weibo."

"What is Weibo?" Someone showed a confused expression.

"I only play WeChat and video chat with my family." A young man took out his mobile phone and said.

"Lend me your mobile phone, and I'll show you." Yue Xingwen took the mobile phone from the young man, and there was no Weibo downloaded in the mobile phone.Jiang Pingce, Liu Zhaoqing, Ke Shaobin and others also came to help. They borrowed their mobile phones to help them download Weibo under the pretext of "showing you the news".

In fact, I want to see who has Weibo in their mobile phone and has posted a message.

On the girl's side, Lin Manluo, Qin Lu and Qin Miao were also helping the female workers download Weibo.

Everyone worked hard for an hour, and only 8 workers in the entire construction site had downloaded Weibo on their mobile phones, and had their own accounts, followed some news and entertainment gossip.Most of the remaining people do not play Weibo, and some even don’t know what Weibo is, and usually only use WeChat.

Yue Xingwen was puzzled: "You all don't know, is the news of the dead on the construction site popular?"

The workers were full of doubts: "I don't know!" "Who posted the photo? This person is a good person who speaks for us!" "Could it be a reporter? You can see that he found a lot of media to repost on his Weibo, it must be It's a reporter."

Yue Xingwen: "..."

It seems that the person who tweeted did not take the initiative to inform the workers about this, perhaps because he was afraid of exposing himself?Could it be that the "insiders" and "workers" in the top posts on Weibo are all his own aliases?

Yue Xingwen searched around, and there are a total of 8 people who have Weibo on their mobile phones, 7 of them are not familiar with Zhao Dayong, and the remaining young man is a gossip who told Yue Xingwen a lot of "the past of Zhaojiacun" The guy——named Zhao Anming.

Yue Xingwen cast his eyes on him: "Brother Zhao, how long have you been playing Weibo?"

Zhao Anming smiled and said, "I signed up for an account after graduating from middle school, and I usually read entertainment news or something."

Yue Xingwen said: "Can I borrow your mobile phone to watch the news?"

Zhao Anming generously handed over the phone.

Yue Xingwen opened Weibo, and there was no news related to the death on the construction site in the browsing history. It was all gossip in the entertainment industry. He followed a few beautiful stars, and there was no option to switch accounts. His own account was called "Tomorrow will be updated." good".

he is innocent?Or was he so thoughtful that he deleted all his trumpets and browsing records after posting Weibo?

Yue Xingwen is temporarily unable to determine the identity of this person——Zhao Anming, is he an innocent passerby who provided clues, or is he a real culprit hiding deep under a mask?

He came from Zhaojia Village, knew about the death of Zhao Dayong's brother-in-law, knew that Zhao Dayong and Zhao Xuemei were neighbors, and said that the deceased Zhao Dayong, Zhao Xuemei, and Zhao Qiang were in a love triangle.From the looks of it, he is a gossip-loving Zhaojiacun worker.But how true is the information he gave?Is he deliberately misleading everyone's judgment?

If he is the mastermind of this matter, what about other people in Zhaojia Village to cooperate with him?

Yue Xingwen returned the mobile phone to the other party, and said politely: "Thank you Brother Zhao. Are there a lot of people in your Zhaojia Village who have relatives? There is a Wangjia Village in my hometown, and the whole village is full of relatives."

Zhao Anming said with a smile: "Of course, the girls in our village never married outsiders. After a long time, the relationship between relatives is almost indistinguishable. My daughter-in-law is my sister-in-law's cousin."

It sounds very chaotic, but such a village is also very cohesive, after all, everyone is related.Yue Xingwen always felt that it was not quite right that this Zhao Anming provided them with so much information about Zhaojiacun so graciously.

At around 4:[-] p.m., several people who were taken away by the police came back.Now that they are back, it means that the suspicion of these people is not enough to detain them, and the police just took them for questioning.

Workers quickly rushed forward to express their concern.

Zhao Anming asked, "Ah Qiang, how is it? What did the police say?"

Zhao Qiang looked embarrassed, rubbed his nose and said, "The police asked us why we went out at 4:[-] in the morning. They suspected that we had something to do with Dayong's death. Dayong and I were brothers who grew up naked. We just quarreled for a few words. How could it be possible to kill him!"

Zhao Anming: "Then why are you going out in the middle of the night?"

Long Rui looked at Zhao Qiang and Zhao Xuemei with complicated expressions.

Zhao Xuemei blushed, turned around and left quickly, Zhao Qiang also had red ears, and chased her away from the crowd.

Everyone immediately surrounded Long Rui: "Old Rui, tell me, what's going on?"

Long Rui took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it up, with a vicissitudes of expression on his face: "The two of them ran to the construction site early in the morning to make love. Alas, I was smoking nearby at the time, so I happened to bump into it. I didn't want to talk about it." , but if you don’t say anything, the police suspect that they have something to do with Dayong’s death, so I have no choice but to say it.”

Everyone: "..."

Yue Xingwen and Jiang Pingce looked at each other.

The matter actually developed toward Yue Xingwen's guess—these three people had each other's alibi!

Zhao Xuemei and Zhao Qiang saw Long Rui smoking, and Long Rui saw them having an affair.

Suspects were all eliminated at once.

Did they conspire and collude in advance?Or are they really innocent?

Yue Xingwen looked at Zhao Anming beside him, the young man still had a gossip-loving surprised expression: "I thought Xiaomei and Dayong were a couple, but unexpectedly, she likes Zhao Qiang?"

Are all the people in Zhaojia Village all drama masters?
