Chapter 97 Heavy Mountains And Heavy Waters
The road is difficult, not in the mountains, not in the water, only in the heart of the repetition.
The pin, a common gadget in the office, was accurately pierced into the sciatic nerve with the richest number of neurons, causing Liang Wenbo to suffer severe pain and die from cerebral hemorrhage. The murderer's modus operandi had been found, but there were no clues to the entire process or the motive behind the crime. It was too difficult to determine the suspect's range with just a pin.
Ma Wanliang had already started investigating the missing documents, hoping to find Wang Kai who had stolen them. Wang Kai had previously disguised himself as an electrician and came to the Legal Building. As long as he obtained the registration book of the security room, he would be able to locate this imposter among the outsiders through surveillance videos.
There's not much time left.
Xu Jiahui suddenly said, "This kind of pin should be rare." She then analyzed, "A normal pin has a metal cap at its tail that allows for pressure to pierce through objects, but this one doesn't. It should have a round plastic head at its tail to make it easier to squeeze. A pin like this is much more expensive than a normal pin."
Gu Tianyou immediately bid farewell to Xu Jiahui . It was already 3:30 in the middle of the night when he rushed home. Fang Le'er lay on the sofa and woke up as soon as she entered the door. Gu Tianyou felt warm in his heart, but at this moment, he couldn't care less about romantic chatter. "Le'er, do you remember anyone in the office who used plastic pins and was able to open the library door?"
Fang Le'er thought for a while and said, "I seem to have seen this pin in the small conference hall of Liang Bida 's office. I don't remember it anywhere else."
Gu Tianyou asked, "Then do you know who in the office knows how to give people injections? Or have some medical knowledge and practical experience?"
Fang Le'er said, "Liang Bida likes to study Chinese medicine. He often goes to acupuncture and cupping. He also has the key to the reference room, but he should be the one who has no reason to kill Liang Wen Bo."
There are many kinds of motives, random, such as passionate murder, silent murder. There were people who had planned this long ago, such as vengeful killings and love killings. The former was filled with killing intent, while the latter accumulated killing intent. Either way, all Gu Tianyou needed now was a new direction of detection.
It was already four o'clock in the morning when they hurriedly arrived at the Law Building. There were people from the Criminal Police Unit of the Municipal Bureau gathering evidence at the scene. The security of the building and the security guards of Bida Law Firm had also arranged for night shift staff to cooperate. The focus is on the surveillance footage. Gu Tianyou, dressed in military uniform and carrying the rank three superintendent sign on his shoulders, appeared in front of Zhao Wanchen , who was in charge of the scene.
"I just came from the technical brigade. The autopsy report has made a new discovery. The cause of death of the deceased was not falling from the building, but was stabbed to death by someone with a needle."
"Who allowed you to participate in the investigation?" Zhao Wanchen pulled his face and looked down at the autopsy report, "Pins?"
"Commander Dai, show me the site inspection records in front of you. Do you think I'm qualified to participate in the investigation?" Gu Tianyou didn't want to involve Xu Jiahui . He avoided the situation and said softly, "The killer stabbed the pin into Liang Wenbo 's sciatic nerve, The intense pain caused Liang Wenbo 's cerebral blood vessels to rupture, The lethal weapon used was not an unusual pin. After I asked Fang Le'er , an intern at Bida Law Firm, I learned that there were such needles in the conference room of Bida Liang's office. Bida Liang is a fan of Chinese medicine and specializes in acupuncture. Therefore, I recommend searching Bida Liang's office on the 16th floor immediately. "
Zhao Wanchen had already acknowledged Dai Xiaolou 's judgement and ruled out Gu Tianyou's suspicion. He was a workaholic, and solving the case was the number one priority in his heart. After pondering for a moment, he said, "It's an investigation direction." As he spoke, he immediately summoned the security guard on duty and ordered him to immediately open Liang Bida 's office to cooperate with the search.
At the beginning, the security guard said that he was in a difficult situation. Zhao Wanchen warned him that this was a homicide case and that it was the legal obligation of citizens to cooperate with the investigation. Even if Barrister Liang was present, he had to cooperate unconditionally. Refusal meant that there might be a major suspicion. This guy farted and wished he could write a charter. He scared the big brother out of his wits and took out the key.
In the small meeting room of Liang Bida 's office, Gu Tianyou and Zhao Wanchen noticed something was amiss the moment they entered. This place has been carefully cleaned. There is a big difference between cleaning everyday and cleaning for evidence. The former was easy to leave a dead end, and rarely would they deliberately set up some details. The latter, on the other hand, would definitely take into account every possible flaw.
All crimes leave traces.
Gu Tianyou and Zhao Wanchen led a few criminal policemen to conduct a careful search. Soon, they found a pin with a round plastic head, just like Xu Jiahui said. After removing the plastic head, the length was exactly the same as the one Liang Wenbo took out from his body. Under the conference table, Zhao Wanchen discovered a crack and distortion in a corner of the table, and even made a simple repair to cover it up. The comrades from the technical departments who arrived later did more detailed on-the-spot investigation, further proving that Liang Bida was suspected of committing a major crime!
Small pieces of broken glassware were found in the cracks in the corner, The legs of the chair in the meeting room had several galvanized coatings crashing off, Suspicious hairs were found in the gap between the window sill marble and the stairs. All sorts of signs reminded Zhao Wanchen that there was a person who might have suffered great pain here. He touched a glass cup, knocked over a chair, and broke the corner of the table. He was in unbearable pain, and even crawled out of control to the window sill. Finally, he struggled to die here.
This place was most likely the scene of the first crime!
If the 15th floor was just a dumping site, then the suspect would definitely reveal his footing when transporting the corpse. Zhao Wanchen immediately ordered to access the surveillance footage of the fire escape between the elevator and the 16th and 15th floors from 5:00 to 8:30 last night.
Surveillance footage showed that Liang Bida did take an elevator down to the 15th floor at 7:40 pm, but he didn't bring anything with him.
The location where Liang Wenbo 's body fell corresponded to the reference room on the 15th floor, while Liang Bida's office had to head south by three more rooms. Assuming that it was a murder scene, if the body was thrown down from there, the location of the fall should be further south. However, the surveillance footage proved that there was no sign that Liang Bida had moved the corpse to the 15th floor's reference room. Assuming that he was the murderer, how did this corpse get thrown downstairs? Zhao Wanchen couldn't figure out why, and Gu Tianyou was puzzled.
Helplessly, Gu Tianyou called Professor Li Yunqing. I'd like to hear the old detective's opinion. After narrating the case and the situation at the two sites, the old professor fell into a long silence. After a while, Professor Li Yunqing suddenly asked, "Did the wind blow in Jianye last night?" Gu Tianyou said, "It was windy, but it shouldn't be enough to affect the parabola of the corpse." Li Yunqing asked again, "What if the corpse is tied to a rope and hangs in the air?" Gu Tianyou thought for a moment and said, "Then he will definitely be blown back and forth by the wind."
He hung up the phone and immediately called Xu Jiahui . The clothes Liang Wenbo wore before he died had traces of fibrous wear on both shoulders and armpits. Previously, he thought that it was caused by moving the corpse. After careful examination, he came to a new conclusion that it was caused by friction with another type of fibrous material.
Once the problem of dumping the corpse was resolved, the first crime scene would be established.
Gu Tianyou called Zhao Wanchen to the side. "that case is basically clear, Assuming that the murderer was Liang Bida , he took the elevator to the 15th floor at 7:40. He entered the library and opened the window, leaving behind footprints and clothing fibers of the deceased. He forged the first scene and then returned upstairs. He finished dumping the corpse with the help of the wind through the sling at around 8:30. Then, he cleaned up the small meeting room calmly.
At this stage of the investigation, Zhao Wanchen had already seen Gu Tianyou's influence on Dai Xiaolou . At the same time, he had no choice but to acknowledge Gu Tianyou's ability. He no longer dared to underestimate him. He asked in a modest tone, "Why would Liang Bida do this?"
Gu Tianyou nodded and said, "Ma Squadron went to visit the other employees of the office to investigate the loss of information. I think he has made a mistake in the focus of the investigation. We should immediately report the findings of the investigation to him and immediately control Liang Bida . Firstly, this person's identity is not trivial. Ma Squadron must personally lead the squadron before he can be intimidated." "Second, let me tell you something else. Handling a case is important, but the leader must also take care of his face. If there is any omission, the leader can help him take care of it. He will not share the responsibility and share the credit for his work in China. You can't do this job well."
Zhao Wanchen was engrossed in what he heard. After a while, he suddenly came back to his senses and immediately said, "I'll call immediately."
In Liang Bida 's office, Gu Tianyou sat on a chair and fell into deep thought.
The kidnapping of Zhao Ziming and the murder of Bida Law Firm happened within a day. Xi Zhiming's revenge plan was overwhelming. At this stage of the investigation, Liang Bida 's suspicion of murder was very high. However, with Counsel Liang's years of shrewdness, how did Xi Zhiming force him to do this case?
Ma Wanliang hurriedly rushed over, sweat dripping down his chubby cheeks. This old fogey went home last night to sleep peacefully in the name of investigating the information. After receiving Zhao Wanchen 's case report early in the morning, he immediately realized that this was a good opportunity to make a name for himself. Liang Bida 's status was not trivial. He was a famous figure in both the political and business circles. He had friends and enemies, and his influence was great, but he did not belong to the faction of power. Sitting this case on top of him would definitely cause a sensation.
A lawyer who had worked with crime for many years had plotted a sophisticated murder case and had it unravelled overnight. Once such a press release was published, the investigator would undoubtedly become famous overnight.
Zhao Wanchen stood there like a fool and listened to Gu Tianyou and Ma Wanliang discussing the case.
Gu Tianyou said, "When the Horse Squad is in time, the Liang Bida Clan has already set up control over it?"
Ma Wanliang was no match for Zhao Wanchen 's hammer. He was well-informed and tactful. He had heard of Gu Tianyou long ago and knew that this young man had a mysterious background. It was rumored that he was the disciple of the Dai Company and the godson of Guan Peiyuan , the old director of the provincial hall. He was highly valued by the Bai Fenglin Political Commissar of the provincial hall. Although he was only a small rank three superintendent, he couldn't be underestimated.
He said politely, "Everything has been arranged. I will come over to examine the investigation. If there are no mistakes, I will personally arrest them."
Gu Tianyou said, "The investigation of the case is conducted under your full authority. Captain Zhao is in charge of the scene. I am only here to deliver the news on behalf of the leaders. When to arrest the person and how to write the report should be your responsibility."
Ma Wan was secretly delighted and said with a calm expression, "Isn't this inappropriate? Our working principle has always been to respect the truth and seek truth from facts. Assistant Gu didn't reject Xin … in the investigation of this case."
"Stop talking, detachment Ma." Gu Tianyou waved his hand and said resolutely, "I'm here to help. The case is under your command and supervision. Captain Zhao will carry it out!"
Ma Wanliang looked at Gu Tianyou suspiciously, but he couldn't see the temptation. He finally nodded and said, "Alright, I'll go catch him now!"
Zhao Wanchen was at the side, confused and angry. He looked at Gu Tianyou with a hint of respect.
